There is nothing to be ashamed of regarding one's ugly experience in gambling. If it is an experience that you know you would not want to go through, it is better for you to open up to the person. You don't need to share your whole story, but you can give the person some advice on how terrible the journey is, rather than just keeping quiet.

In your own experience, it is possible that the reason why gambling was terrible is because you didn't have anyone to educate you; there were no opportunities. However, this person who needs your advice is fortunate to have you for a better experience in gambling.

Personally for me, telling some one about how I messed up in gambling relives me the stress, so why will I be ashamed of saying it, although individual gamblera with their different level of understanding, although I understand that is not everyone we need to share what we went through in some aspects of our lives with but being open helps to salvage some situations, relating to what you've said, i want you to understand that there are people that you may find unworthy to advise them with the experience you had in gambling, not because you're ashamed to tell them but because it might end up being a waste of time, if the person who needs ones advice, sincerely needs it and will put it into practice after the advise is been given to him, it is fine.
