How do you deal with family or friends who disapprove of your betting?

Betting is a personal activity, but it can be hard when the people closest to you don't understand the strategy behind it or worry about the risks. Do you keep your betting life private to avoid the tension, or are you open about your wins and losses with those around you?

Everyone has different opinions about betting. I respect my family's concerns and make sure I gamble responsibly. As long as it doesn't affect my finances or responsibilities, I believe it's a personal choice.

I just don’t bring up the strategy part anymore, they only ever hear about the big wins if it comes up. The losses stay in my spreadsheet whee they belong.
