How many people know you gamble on the Internet?

Hiya: I thought this would be rather interesting, given all the different myths vs facts regarding internet gambling. Not counting Family members, and board members, how many others know you gamble OnLine? These must be people you have actually met, even if just other people at a Real Casino, or co workers, ect.

Are you going to make this a poll? It would be a good one!

Personally my answer is NONE.
I don't know anyone else who gambles online.
If only they knew what they were missing out on!

It is funny how many dealers here in Vegas, have no idea it is/was even possible to Gamble on the internet, without just flat getting ripped off, your bank acct. drained, and the Casino never to be heard from again.

If you go to real casinos sometimes, and like to talk to other players at the tables, as part of the fun of being there, bring this topic up.......

Oh, and yea, every person that knows me, knows i play on line. Most just shake their head thinking it is only a matter of time before the things i mentioned above happen to me/anyone who gambles on the internet.

Even my MUM knows, and she is a Jehova's Witness (has been for many years since seeing the light). Needless to say, many I have told don't APPROVE, but they know. I don't announce it to everybody, but I DON'T hide it either.
Letting everybody know means I am not going to get into trouble if I get "found out", even if it gets used against me in arguments.
My niece used it against me when I wouldn't give her money to squander, but it didn't work - why should I fund HER leisure activities in place of MINE. I have loaned BOTH my older nieces money when I deem it ESSENTIAL, but when they say I should't gamble, I say "...and where do you think I got the money to lend you from?". (The correct answer is "Treasure Ireland"

)

According to my second oldest niece, I have done WORSE things than gamble on the internet

While every single person I have ever met is an exaggeration, it's gotta be almost everyone in the past couple of years with the exception of most hospital staff.

It's not illegal where I live, the people on the casino shuttles are very interested. The DHL courier driver asked...and of course all the staff at Money Mart are aware. Most of the cabbies I know know, and many of them are online poker players themselves.

All my close friends know, as well as my immediate family.

I will not tell my mom!

Many people I know bet on horses and soccer, online gambling is legal!

There�s no secret at all that I have gambled for about 15 years(not mom).

I've probably been too open about it to some that have tried to give me grief about it but as someone above said,

"Most just shake their head thinking it is only a matter of time before the things i mentioned above happen to me/anyone who gambles on the internet."

Good poll!
