There’s no other person that will understand you as a gambler but only another gambler as well. So I don’t see any wrong or getting ashamed of myself if I want save them going through negative experiences in the future. I don’t want them to lose because of wrong decision making, and for that I really think that they can actually learned from me if I stand up and make myself as an example.
In the end, your good deeds count more than your selfish actions. So it’s always better to show more genuineness, not by being untrue to yourself and to the people around.
