Bitcoin Forum

Hi, are you guys afraid of posting or sharing gambling related topics & news in your personal facebook ?

is it because afraid of siblings, parents or girlfriend noticed it ?

or dont wanna let your workmate, colleagues know that you addicted to gambling ?

why you must afraid
where youre from ?, if you from from muslem country, maybe you not afraid , but just shy when others people know you're a gambler

Yes, I'm afraid now since my parents, friends, colleagues and girlfriend doesn't want me to gamble.


Yes, not only them but I've got a lot of people that know me and I don't want to let them know that I'm in gambling.


Exactly.

I don't share it on my facebook, because it will violate my rule of staying anonymous. People might realize that I use bitcoin and able to trace my account.
Just being paranoid and stuff. But generally I do stay away from linking my personal life to my online life. I try to protect my online persona just to keep
stuff from getting a lot complicated.

I don't post it there not because I am afraid my siblings, parents, or girlfriend will notice, this is because, to be honest, they already know. What's to hide right? The reason why I don't post it on my facebook is because I do not see any purpose in doing so or any benefit for me that will be acquired. So why post? I only use my facebook for personal reasons and not really for anything else.

I don't post it on facebook or any social media because i don't want other people, friends, or family to know that i'm gambling. The purpose if you or i post it on facebook is to only get referral or to aware your friends if someone is gambling too in your friends because some person will definitely ask what our post is all about. I only want a private gambling life that's why i don't post it.

Those are the main reasons I never post anything in my personal facebook, in fact it's been ages since I don't post anything there, I just use it to check what my friends are doing.

Those are also the reasons why many of us here like to play with bitcoins, if you find a good casino/sportsbook which has a really good layout and also works like a charm in mobile phone too, then this is my and I believe many other people's choice here. No one can check your phone if you play in incognito mode, not even your girlfriend or wife.

Yes, I am afraid to share gambling stuffs in my personal facebook account. Hence I don't use it to share gambling stuffs and things. On my personal facebook I have no gambler's freind. So posting such thing won't make any sense. I have other fb account which I specifically use for other purposes including gambling.

i seldom post on my personal facebook account on a gambling related topics, i am a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)/ Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and boxing fanatic and some of my friends list are into it, so whenever there are some big fights i will post on my facebook wall on whose gonna take my bet some of my friends would engage on that betting. it is so much exciting and my circle of friends and family members know that too because it is an occasional gambling.

I share all that on my twitter account, I'm not hiding my gambling activities from anyone, I usually brag around when I win, when I lose I complaint so people close to me knows what I do, and how lucky I was or not in gambling.
Don't hide what you are doing, if parents can forbid you to gamble then you are not old enough to gamble in first place so stop it. If you are gambling too much, and that is making problem's to your social life take a break. If friends don't support you then stop sharing that on your accounts, some people like to hear and read about gambling and others hate that, make new profile and find friends that like to gamble like you.

Nope. Because i dont gamble. I don't even like the idea of gambling when i can be more productive using the times i have for gambling to something for important. But let's say i gamble., what do they care? I mean it's my money and my life, as long as i am not hurting anyone and providing pretty well if i have my own family, I don't see a need for hiding it. But, anonymity is important for me, so would still not be posting about gambling and anything much about me online. Just a but paranoid about security, that's all.

thanks for giving me your opinions. Personally i like gambling, usually EPL
so sometimes i would like to share some topics related to gambling, but i afraid my friends, colleagues will have strange view towards me, this is because not everybody can accept people who gambling, some will say why you waste your money and time in gambling bla bla bla..LOL

Why should I must be afraid of sharing things about gambling related topics? There's nothing I can see interesting topics at your own wall.


The way they treat me good will not change for just simply posting topics about gambling.


There are even worst people than me that are posting good things about themselves but in reality they are just hiding something for their real attitude.


Don't think of their feelings, think about your feeling. Why you should be afraid? Are you doing something bad to them by just posting these things?

I play asian sportsbookie, they accept bitcoin for deposit and withdrawal. Is it something you looking for ?

hi, just my 2 cents, somebody just simply cannot accept gambler, you know what i mean ? I might lose my job if the manger or superior dont like gambler or they thought it will affect their life/tasks etc etc

I'm not afraid on posting gambling related topics on my social media accounts. But im encouraging them to play gambling to. in that case i can have an opponent on gambling mostly on poker but when it comes on sports betting we're having also our preferred team. so it depends on the person if he/she afraid on sharing gambling related on their social media accounts maybe they want privacy.

fortunately i never had any problem during a gamble and i considers still able to control myself so i think i'm not addicted and as far as i remember that i was never did it and indeed one of the reason why i didn't use social media to sharing gambling related topics because the gamblers always considered as bad behavious in my country so i don't want they know i gamble even not regularly

almost same situation with us who use bitcoin since we are hiding our activity online especially our gambling habits before yes i always hide it
but when i got so engaged i let my wife knew about my problem now she check me every now and then to make sure that i won't do the same
mistake again.

I see, so it's related to your career. If that is so, you should be careful or you might put your job/career at risk. I understand on how you want to secure yourself from those people that has higher positions on your company. But if there's no need to post something on social media related to gambling then simply don't post it.

i think he can make new account for only posting/sharing gambling related topics and news in facebook so you don't have to worried with other person that might not agree with you or has higher positions than you. you can access your new account from another devices like another cell phones or laptop or else so your job is still safe and no one will know that you have 2 different account.

I don't post too often on my facebook account I mostly just chat with my friends and family. My friends already know that i'm gambling by sharing my screenshots and because I brag my winnings to them when I win. Posting it on my facebook account is just unnecessary for me because most of my facebook friends are not gamblers so they won't gain interest from those.

- Yes its always adviced to not share what you will win in gambling in your social accounts because your local authority might knock at your door for either tax invasion or to arrest you if gambling is illegal in your country. You might know how anything can go viral overnight in social media.

- That can also be secondary reason...

- What others things about me doesn't matter much for me...

That is true, but I don't think just because you won like $100 that they will do so. Maybe if you won something like $1,000,000 and it was the talk of the town that you won that much then you'll likely generate heat towards you. I mean, winning even probably $10,000 wouldn't bring too much attention to what you are saying to the point the tax man knocks on your door because of it.

With so many people now signed up to Facebook it’s no surprise that most if not all online casino/gambling sites will also have their own Facebook page. In my point of view, not all things is I need to post in facebook or other  social media. For example, I won a gamble, do I still have to post it?if I post it ,I might be famous or viral. There is absolutely nothing to fear, there are just things that should be kept or private for security.

I never post any thing related to gambling in any social media personal accounts. I just want to keep these things personal and don't want to make it to a public. It all depends on individual and I don't have any friends who gamble so no need to post these things in my personal accounts. I only play dice games or some times cricket betting.

I think it's okay to post about it because it's your personal Facebook profile, and you can control what you post, share, etc. on it, and it doesn't matter what but people would still judge you for what you post. It doesn't automatically mean that you are addicted to gambling when you share it, it's just that you can lose a lot if you don't control yourself. I know some people who have been addicted and hopefully, they become better.

its hard to become better if you already an addict and mostly addicted to gambling wont let his pick be broadcast because he's avoiding that someone
will influence his bets and they wanted to make sure that fix match wont interfere with their bets, they wanted to make sure that they are the only one
who will take advantage of it.

No I am not afraid of posting any gambling related topics or news on facebook or any social media sites because  my family and friends know I don't gamble that much and if I do, I'm not a heavy gambler I just gamble for fun. I just post them if the topic or news are something I can relate to or something I can tell or announce to my friends about gambling.

Nice idea, he can but for me it's time consuming to have other facebook account just to share what he want to share about gambling. But if he's dedicated to it, that can be a good alternative for him. If he can't resist to share articles or news about gambling just don't add your colleagues so that your job won't be affected.

Basically you are telling him to cheat. Not a good idea. It will definitely help him but I am not a person who supports double standards or betrayal. If something is prohibited then let it be that way. All that glitters are not gold.

Anyways, I am not here to debate on right and wrong but if I were him, definitely, I wouldn't have even thought about gambling.

There is no need to get afraid of anyone. People will always say something rubbish even if you become an angel. You can't stop anyone.
However, I also won't say to keep on making announcements about your actions because the less they (whole world) know the better it is. I only say one thing, live your life the way so that you don't have any regrets.

Yes you don’t have to make a list of your actions “to-do” and then announcing it to the whole world. Less people know better it would be. As here said, if you are still an angel, still people will find something bad in you. So make your decisions according to your views, not to others.

I don't. I'm not exactly a hardcore gambler and it doesn't hold a very important part of my time. If at the very least time that i gamble, its usually by myself and i don't brag about it to anyone.

Exactly, it's better if you share without compelling anyone to strictly stake your suggested bets or you just keep it to yourself and stake. I prefer the latter even though I do share my bets sometimes on some threads in this forum but it is likewise not to portray myself as an expert but to share and probably help a brother somewhere else.

It's fun to let others people see that it's somehow possible to do impossible bets because it's somehow a motivation. If you share something, I think you want something to earn in return because some people do that its affiliates I guess. I hope that somehow, no one can get addicted to seeing someones post in social media.

No, because why would I use my personal account and not make a dummy? If I'm addicted and my family doesn't like it or will not like the idea that I'm into gambling then I will not do it in a way that that they might find out.

i see in my facebook account many people is sharing their affiliate links, sometimes i feel annoyed and i only thinking that why they don't share like once in a day or every 3 days a week than sharing for five times a day. but now i am already blocked some content that i feel i am not good with their sharing and i wish in future they don't share too often like before.

I think its not being afraid but more of protecting yourself specially if you are working and don't wan't your boss see your gambling activity. Although there was one funny incident I remember like 5 years ago that I'm gambling in a landbased casino and suddenly I saw my manager playing at craps if I'm not mistaken. LOL. It was funny and awkward situation, but we just look at each other in the eye and saying don't you ever tell this in the office. LOL. But yeah, for me I won't do that specially if your work is very strict. Specially if you miss work and you just posted that you just came from a casino or just finished online dice game.

I'm hiding to my family and friends that I'm into gambling and I'm in your the same situation that I'm scared to share related topics on my facebook profile. Once they knew about it,they will think different about me and will probably treat me different but only for those people that are not my real friends.

 If your alt account in facebook utilize it to make that spread the news about gambling site and information of it.  If you just the bitcoin and gambling related information most of the people would not look at you for that post and all. If you more number of friends only it will reach to many people.

Even on those things not related to gambling I didnt even post it on social medias because i dont really like for people to see on what im doing specially to my relatives unless if its an occasion then it should be fine.When we are talking about gambling i wont bother or ever post regarding on my activities.I do really like to be anonymous on the things i do in my life.

In general, I don't like posting any gambling related links or topics on my Facebook feed not only because it makes you me like a gambler in front of my entire friend list but also as I don't want others to involve into gambling unless they know what they're doing. It gives me bad vibes that someone saw my gambling related post on a social networking site and lost their money because they did not know what they were doing. Moreover, it might cause an unnecessary addiction towards gambling which might affect their futures.

And this can be the solution to the problem of pan0124 but I'm not interested of making another account on facebook. I'm not interested about it nor exposing myself that I'm into gambling, well I'll have an experiment that I'll share bitcoin gambling related news and will see on what will be the reaction my friends and family about it.

I guess it's ok to create another facebook account but it's not ideal because who will you add the same people that you have on the main account or just somebody else? It would just require you a lot of effort and time to create an alternative account.

I'm a gambler but not an addicted one and I just don't want to share things about gambling. I'm not even afraid if my family, parents, friends or colleagues will find it out that I'm a gambler. We are in different culture so I'm not afraid of the judgment of other people as I'm not giving them harm with their lives.

No I am not afraid in posting gambling related topics in my facebook because I am in the right age and my family knows that I am not addicted in gambling. But I prefer not posting things like that in my facebook because it doesn't look good in my eyes when I look at my profile. But I have nothing against people who are posting things like that I've seen my friends posting some.

I do not think people are afraid to post about gambling on their social media because of friends or family. Most people afraid to post because of government laws that may make them get in jail because posting about it. Some countries are so strict about gambling, so people better to avoid it when their country has strict rules about gambling.

No, I am not afraid of posting gambling related topics or news in the social media because I know myself better than anyone else. Just because I post those things doesn't really reflect my true personality and nature. And besides that, as long as I did not hurt anyone from posting those topics then I feel like I'm okay and my family is okay with it as well.

Well, sometime i am afraid and sometime i am not afraid. Actually, i don't want to tell my parents about my gambling, but if suddenly my parents know about it that i am playing gambling, then it has no problem but i am afraid of it that may be my parents don't like it or may be they have no problem for my gambling, it is my fear.  But i am not sure about it, otherwise, i am not worried for any others like my friends and others and i do posting on gambling.

I guess the reason why I won't want to do that is simply because of the judging attitude of the people around and even no when I tell guys I gamble with btc online especially in the case of sports betting and analysing the odds, I am being looked at scornfully.

If I should post gambling activities on my wall, I would not only be judged but equally recommended for therapy as that will be the next things after I would have been bombarded with calls from far and near. To avoid  trouble, I stay away from such.

why should you be afraid , the Most of gambling website are legal so you don't do something wrong only if you steal money for gambling , then why publishing gambling things in facebook if your friends are nor interested too

You need to tell them about gambling because might they help you. If you are hiding like this after heard about gambling that you are doing then they will be hurt so i want to say that you need to tell them.

If you are not addicted to gambling and just playing for fun then no need to share this with your parents. But if you are addicted and trying to come out better you can share with them. But posting our gambling activities on facebook or twitter or other social medias is not good. It depends on country and person. in some country the gambling is illegal if we post our activities then it will be a big problem for us. And in some countries, their religions will not let them post. Like this, we have many problems, so better we can away from this social media is safe for everyone.

So the main is don't add the same people with your other account so that you can still post those gambling related articles and just make that account for gamblers. Add people with the same interest and in that way you could have a good time to discuss with the comments about those posts that you will share in your profile.

Yes, I try not to post such things on Facebook where family and friends can see. Don't want people to know I'm into gambling as they will become concerned if I'm addicted etc. ...

For me, its for the simple fact that most peers of mine won't even give a finger twitch about it. Gambling's not really that attractive wih most of my friends and me so it didn't come to my mind to post anything related to gambling. Its not hat i'm ashamed or scared, it just doesn't seem interesting enough

I have similar thinking friends on my Facebook account and they are so academic oriented that they easily brush gambling aside as the activity of the lazy and uneducated. I don't feel hurt but I also don't want to suffer bashing for putting up gambling related articles on my Facebook wall.

If someone really wants to share his gambling experience with other gamblers without letting his relatives discover his little secret, then I think this forum can serve the purpose. What is the use of making an extra fb account? Honestly, it will be just wastage of time. Just an extra work it would be.

You know the likes and dislikes of your parents’ best. If there is a fear of being condemned for gambling, then obviously there are some reasons behind which give birth to this feeling ultimately. Do not deny the way of your parents and if they are against gambling, quit this because one way or other, it is a betrayal.

Hmm. If you are an adult, you have to right to choose already. If you know your limits and you are a responsible gambler, I do not see anything wrong with gambling.
Sharing it though to the world is something different. It involves acquiring unwanted attention that would lead to some conflict. Best just not to share it, IMO.

true! unwanted attention and inconveniences should avoid if possible. However, i just share news or scores of my favourite team at social media, because i think its okay to share, to show my support ;D

showing some support as a fan without real money involved is okay mate but showing your post with some other meanings such like you are betting
with the team or players would matter mate, we really dont know whats inside the minds of our social friends and relatives.

Yup in your place playing gambling is common, and people will take this easy then it is ok to share in social media. But gambling is illegal, and your parents will not support this then it is not good to share this in social media. I will never share my betting and gambling information on my FB and Instagram account.

I got you and i understand very well but if you are being paid a bounty for posting and promoting a gambling site then i think it's not much guilt to feel about it unless people know you to be a gambler by nature.

No, I'm not afraid they know about it because they all know I like to gamble. actually me or people who like to do it just to find additional entertainment because it is definitely their friends in social media will give their response.

If you advertise some casino and you are receiving money for that then you are not gambler you earn with your profile page on any social network. And here no one will see you ass a gambler, close people can just get bored from your activity.
Sharing your gambling wins and loses, along with videos about it have some other meaning and you will find people who agree and disagree with that. If you feel ashamed because you gamble then don't do it, but my opinion is that if you doing something that you like you don't need to ba ashamed for that.

That depends on the intention of my posts. If I'm going to post gambling-related topics and articles to promote and advertise them (take note that I should be getting paid by them), that's definitely okay with me. As long as I'm getting something from my posts, there problem in that.

On the other hand, it is definitely not good if I'm just gonna post it just to let others know that I'm a degenerative gambler who put money into casino's pocket. It would greatly tarnish my public profile and would provide negative impression to my friends and families. Gambling should be a personal thing and shouldn't be broadcasted to the whole world not unless your getting paid to do it. People tend to judge people right away without knowing the true meaning behind your posts and that will just put me in a disadvantageous position.

Posting and sharing about things like gambling even though you are not a gambler will still give you a gambler image from your friends or family. Because they don't what really the truth and you will not share things you don't like even though you earn money from. I never share any gambling post on my personal facebook, I used dummy accounts to share any gambling promotion to hide my identity.  ;D

Some of my relatives have been gambling addicts before so I am one of those people who would not dare being exposed to people that knew me that I am gambling. I know that I am not a gambling addict just gamble from time to time to just have fun but not in the sense that I have to sell something that I need to just gamble. Being expose to social media is like showing to the whole world what you are so I would not risk showing to every body that I gamble because there are many people who will immediately judge not knowing the whole story.

I think it happens with everyone here who lives with his family. It is overall the concept of parents about gambling that it is not any healthy activity. We often lose more so that made the case more reliable. So your case is true, if parents don’t have issue then posting is not bad.

Why would you even care about it anyway? If you aren't doing anything bad then why do you even have to be shy about your gambling activity?
As an adult then you have your own decisions, as long as you are not hurting anybody and that your finances do not get hit hard then why bother
with the opinion of others.

Everything is fine but why would anyone want to post about gambling on facebook. It is not about parents there, it is more about the people who can view your posts. If they won't accept it then obviously the person is going to face some difficulties. This is the best forum to discuss such activities.

The implications for Facebook could be huge. In a time when everybody is asking the now-public Facebook where its next revenue bump is going to come from, this offers a time-tested avenue toward profit that looks less risky than its hazy advertising business. Social gaming is still a bright spot in Facebook’s revenue stream, and the option of real-money gambling offers a window towards monetizing a much larger percentage of that user base.

That is very nice of you Sir. We must think before we act and consider the effect of our actions on other people of the society. This is how a country can progress, by caring for each other. Gambling is really not something that should be promoted so sharing about it is useless.

Negative thoughts will surely pop when we show our bets on social media.
but there are others who think with this
many gambling fans among your friends will start approaching you for knowing you have a penchant for gambling
Positive and negative responses will surely come up in everything we do at that moment.
because we need to know that social media sometimes does not reflect the true nature of a person in fact

I agree it will caught up attention of positive and negative alike because there are friends that will emerge that are playing gambling too, and there would be friends that would surely not mind you at all and even stay away from you if you would lend money from them because of what you are posting in your social media, there are two things that might come up in doing this things and if your not into things that make your life complicated then do not post something like that in your social media and keep your gambling life in secrecy.

Yes this is true and I have also gone through this many times before not only with gambling but also for sharing links to different ICO, one of the ICO whose link I have shared on my facebook scammed and run away. Unluckily one of my friend also lost good chunk of money on it and now he is just blaming me for his loss.  :(

Same can happen if you share gambling related topics or webpages in social media accounts.

I never post gamling related topic in my personal facebook, my parent knows that i gamble but i never talk about it with my relatives and my friends. I have a lot of friends on facebook and not all of them is old enough to read something gambling related. I gamble for fun and i don't want other people to make a bad choice that can lead them into something bad.

It's somehow not related to anything right because if that's what you want to post, then go. No one should dictate it to you unless you are really an addict and you are trying to stay away from it but you are still gambling. That's the bad part about it. If you personally see how you post, maybe you'll get another view on yourself.

At the end, it totally depends on the individual. Some people do not like drawing attention to themselves and some societies normally see gamblers as someone with issues. So, it totally depends on the caliber of people around you and how you perceive yourself.

If you feel, you care less about what anyone may think about you on your social page, why not? The decision is up to you. However, I do not see any reason why anyone will want to blow himself to the whole world what he or she does for fun or money (whichever way it is).

Nowadays social medias are everywhere and we contact our relatives more often on Facebook/Instagram/snapshat/whatsapp/viber/skype than in real life . And people are likely to share a lot of intimate stuff about them in these social medias apps/websites . But a lot of them are afraid to talk/share things that could ruin their social image in the eyes of their "friends/followers" . There are a bunch of pages/secret groups dedicated for this kind of activity and you sometimes can get top quality predictions through them , i know one of them it's called facebook/probet1x2 and they often publish some well thought sports analysis that can come in handy if you are planning to gamble .

I don't know what to say about this but I really don't find any meaning in making announcements about all of your activities.

I mean, if someone is playing gambling then what? Nobody really cares in this world about anyone else routine. Everyone is too busy in his own life and it is true. Also, gambling is not considered a game which will be played by smart or normal people.

This would really be treated as a normal stuff which people on social media wont really care at all on the things you are doing and as you said we are busy on our own life and making involvement on others life is not really a good thing.If he do play gambling,so what? As long they dont harm someone then it should be fine.

Am more comfortable posting about bitcoin on my social handles than letting friends and family know about my gambling habits, besides we don't need to share everything with the entire world when we entitled to privacy...only people that get to know about such a the real close friends because it's their privilege

so you have different accounts or you are not allowing your relatives and friends become your friends with your social media? i guess its really hard
to accept the fact that people closer to you will think about your activity bad impression will be the first thing inside their minds so its quite annoying
sharing it with them.

I have friends in social media that post a lot about gambling but they focus on land-based casinos not in online gambling. I don't know if they already know someone that use bitcoin for gambling, maybe they just know in fiat. I'm just worried that they might get addicted when they discover it.

I actually follow a lot of facebook pages that shares gambling tips and predictions since i can't always follow and keep updated with every game scheduled or remembering what happened in the last game that those 2 teams faced each other in and what happened then or how many match this team have won or lost this season . So these pages help me do my analysis while surfing the social medias and just chilling and by that i won't have to visit websites specialized in analysis .

I haven't really seen any gambling advertising on fb. I don't think it's really allowed if you trying to promote too much because fb want you to pay them to promote yourself. I'm not sure they would like it very much if gambling advertising because s problem with fb profiles dedicated to gambling or spamming even. It's ok now because it is not causing an issue but technically it's not really allowed. Because I know fb won't support gambling.

Not posting or sharing by gambling exploits or related topic. Although I'm not ashamed of being a gambler, I just don't like people being nosy on my own business. And they know already that I frequent land based casinos so there will be no surprises from my friends. However, I also haven't post anything gambling related as far as bitcoin is concerned. I just want it that way though.

for your private facebook which is only use for you and your friends i think you will think twice because people will know your activities and maybe your friends will recognize you as a gamblers but sometimes people tempting to post gambling related topic in their facebook timeline because usually gambling sites will give you a reward for that so sometimes quite difficult to deny if they're offering good amount of money

Is depend on your each private, is for you is not big problem for your family etc you can share on social media.
But if you afraid they don't believe you, because you gamble addict. I think you don't share it !
Sometimes some people negative response for gambling.

I'm not ashamed of being a gambler. Most people are to some extent. They may not be going to casinos or gambling online but when an opportunity comes they grab it without thinking twice. My family members know what I'm spending my money on and they usually don't approve (officially), but aren't trying to change me since I'm independent and not in debt.
I think you shouldn't try to hide it. Gambling is not a weakness as long as you do it in moderation, just like drinking.

Maybe if you grew with a family that hates gambling or criticizes gamblers, then you might have developed the constant feeling of being a shame to the family or something. That's how you are going to feel every time you gamble, and that's going to creep you up. There's nothing wrong to be ashamed of something and there's nothing wrong with not feeling ashamed too.

I would definitely like to support you the way you are. I myself like to gamble and do not feel any shame in claiming to be a gambler. I haven't taken any debt from my relatives or friends just to gamble after any loss.

I am a free man and it is totally dependent upon my choice whatever I would like to do in my life. Posting about gambling on social site is something that affects society in a negative way therefore it must be avoided so that no one could ever get a chance to question your choice.

Yes, you feel yourself to be an independent gambler if you are actually not taking debt from anyone just for the sake to gamble more and to lose all you had.

The thing is that there is no shame in being a gambler even if your family has a notice about your activities. If you have earned the money without anyone’s help then probably it’s your own right to decide that where is it to be spent whether for the sake of some professional business or to have fun in the casinos.

I agree that you should be, from your wording, an "independent gambler." Since you do not rely on others for your gambling money, but that should have been the case for every gambler. I do also agree there is no shame being one especially if you do not wage all your money or anybody's money or money that should not be gambled, however I also believe that their is no point in sharing whatever you are doing on social media. I don't see that point, it just adds more drama to everybody especially to the poster.

People share it on social medias maybe because they want to promote their referral links, to show a nice strategy, to show someone earning big (or losing hard), any interesting fact about gambling... People around need to learn accepting the gambler as there isn't anything wrong with this... Gamblers are usually adults and know what they are doing, if people around want to create problems it will become even worse.

Yes, if someone is not using the money taken as a loan from someone and play with the earnings of his own then obviously gambling is not a shame at all. This is just as a person is free to choose his hobbies and habits. As long as others are not affected via your gambling methods, you are absolutely on the right track.

Even if your family knows about your gambling habit, eve then you should continue with it and all that is requires to sop is a bunch of losses on frequent basis because that tie is itself and indication to give up on gambling.

Yes I agree, and mostly people share on social medias because they just want to promote the site they are playing. I don't think being a gambler should be tagged as someone who's shameless. We shouldn't judge them just because that's what they like to do.

Definitely our family behavior and our social environment react us on our gambling.

Yes I do agreed with this that most of the ambling related posts on the social apps are made just for the sake of sharing tips with others or having fun by telling people about your experiences that how did you manage to win.

But even if it is the reality behind all of the social media coverage regarding gambling, society gets harmed in a negative sense because there are people also who are against gambling at all and hence it leads to a serious unrest among different school of thoughts. Therefore in my opinion it must be avoided.

Normally I don't gamble a lot. Nowadays I totally stopped gambling.
I really don't want my family, friends or anyone who are related to me in real life to know that I sometimes did gambling.
If my family members knows that I'm gambling online then some bad impression may raise, and which I don't want at any cost.

But I have promoted gambling sites in twitter and fb account for refs.

It will be much better to romote something that proven best, it's our namevat stake or our account at risk, if we promote some scam sites then it will add bad reputation to us, study what your going to promote, promote only legit casinos, as well as legit activities.

Why would I post those kind of topics on my facebook account? I can just read it without having to share it on my facebook account. But I am not afraid though because my family and friends know that I am  a gambler with self control so need to feel ashamed

well not most of us have a same personality like yours and for sure that's the reason why they are taking advantage of bitcoin gambling, as they can hide their personalities, sharing it in our personal social media accounts will create rumors about our personalities so i'm not doing it personally.

I Think its not just because of the family perspective but because a lot and major people are thinking that gamblig or even davbli in it is a negative. And in this workd full of negativity and judgements you would not want to put a target on yourself

If it is normal in our family as a gambler then why anyone feel ashamed on it. But if your family have some argues on it and your country legalistic the gambling, then better to quietly playing gambling. But i don't care about my friends and anyone but i do care about my family reaction, that's why i play gambling in a quietly. 

If a person still depends on its parents that still grounded of every step he made, well that could be a problem and it is necessary to him to quitely do gambling everytime time he wanted to do it. But if your family already accustomed of your gambling activities,  then there's no need to be hide in fact you must just discipline yourself to let you won't get addicted on it.

It will depend on different persons because some think gambling as a pride thnk and some other think it is an ashamed thing to be,so it will depend on which category you are from.
If I am I don't be scared to post anything about gambling because I really don't care about what other thinks about me.Its my life and my rules.

Well for me, its more like afraid of people only showing up because i have a lot of money. People that don't usually mind me would likely show up beaming with wide smiles and becoming all to friendly and caring lol. I'd rather keep something like that private among my close friends and family since they're open to me gambling anyways

I actually stopped using Facebook a long time ago, simply because the space got invaded by tons of adds and companies, and it looks more like a marketplace than a social platform. I also have a lot of privacy concerns about that space and I think those that do share their lives there, normally overdo it, so Facebook doesn't suit my needs as a social platform.

If I was still using it, I would probably no share topics related to gambling though. Not because I was hiding anything from my family, but because I don't think the rest of the world has nothing to do with my gambling habits. If I regularly shared my habits there, people could end up having an idea on how much money I spent in gambling, and from there, could have an idea on how much money I make, etc. That information is private, and I would not share it on social platforms.

You do really have the right and theres nothing to be shy of since its your money after all even your family or relatives would oppose on gambling activity you cant do anything about it but well depending if you are really worrying about that thing then you can either hide it to other people or not. In my case it doesnt really matter if they do like gambling or not since i do have the freedom on what i do,then it doesnt really matter at all.

It's based on your wish to share.It's your wish to share on your profile.Gambling is just a game and it's based on their wish to involve in it.
Some family think involved in gambling is not good for their children, so they avoid to involve in it.
If they publish in Facebook means their family members will come to know. This the reason for such thing.

I'm not really scared to share gambling related stuff on Facebook, but it's just something that I don't do.
It gets kinda annoying for your friends if you would start posting gambling related stuff all day long, I know that I get annoyed at seeing the same stuff come up.

I'm also not really spending much time on Facebook and other social media anymore.

Me no. I dont post because aside from i dont know any gambling sites, i also dont know any gamble so just reasonable not to post and, another thing i dont have a plan of starting.  :)

We know gambling is just a game, but in some countries, people will treat gambling is a crime and if anyone involved in gambling they treat them like something else. I do gambling but will not share it in my social media profile. I am not scared but I don't like to hear I am gambler from my loved once.

Well I played those free online games so I'm sure that all my friends are seeing my feed with those games. lol. But I don't care anymore because I already moved out of my current work and just concentrating on my own business now. So I must say that I'm already immune and safe from the prying eyes of supposedly managers and co workers.

I say before, I was afraid because it might complicate things on my end. But right now, nah, I'm OK with them seeing me posting my casino exploits. lol.

That's the problem, since there's still some conservative countries where people thinks that gambling is a mortal sin, we can't avoid those people and if you are part of that society then you are going to be condemn, me even I'm not from that society I still hide my activity as I don't want more people to
know what I'm doing especially those who are close with me.

I am not afraid that my siblings or my parents either, but what i am afraid of was my boyfriend he never want me to gamble because it is only a waste of money. I also afraid to share it in social medias because i will be an educator soon.

I usually post my winnings before in my social media accounts to gain some referrals but I just used a dummy account of course I dont want to publicize in my friends and relatives that Im a gambler lol.  

I don't have the guts to share my winnings or even anything that's related to gambling on facebook. In my community, there's a big against to gambling and they will never realize that I'm gambling because I want to. They all think that when you are gambling, you are already a gambling addict which they really make them judge quickly. I'm not sharing for now but maybe in the future I'm going to share it when my community is not seeing gambling industry as something bad.

Most of gambler will not like to share in Facebook. Because in that there friend and family members will be in their friends. So if they shared in their profile, it will be known by their family members .This is the reason for most of the don't try to do this.Actually their is no necessary for that.

Each places do really have different types of people who do reside it which they would either on neutral side when it comes to gambling or do see it as a bad thing but actually they dont really have the right to judge you since its our money but due to our feelings when it comes to that matter we would really be shy off when they are seeing it out into different way because of our doings this is why we do normally avoid at all cost on sharing up.

yes indeed some people have facebook with actual profile and if they share their winning to facebook which is automatically their facebook friends or their families will know their activities and that is not good because some people has trying to hide their gamble activities to their families because it can be considering as bad habit

Why to have such type of personality where you are something else and you are showcasing something else. Either do such things which you can share and if not then do not do such things. This will help you make life more simpler and will be fun. Try this out mate.

Will they care if I tell them they don't have the right to judge me? Better to keep silent and let them express what they want to say when it comes to people who are in gambling. And they don't care if its our money that we gamble because the only thing that they will see is you, no matter what happens as a gambler.

You would only just react if someone do make confrontations negatively towards on what you are doing and normally you will really say such things in this case.Being silent on what we are doing is really a better option than on minding into those words being thrown into you that you are playing gambling and their views towards it.Dont mind them as long you arent compromising anyone or your financial state then it should be fine.

Its not just about that dude. Security. Your personal social media account basically shows who you are and people who know you of course have information about you. I wouldn't be foolish enough to let everyone i know that i won a big amount.

Yes, I am afraid of posting or sharing gambling related topics in my personal facebook it's because my partner don't like gambling also his relatives while in my side they don't bother about it since we really gamble.

Same here in my family don't like to play gambling and you will be surprised that no one gambler is here in my family, and it is fear of me when my parents know about me that i am a gambler.  That's why i also feel shy and fear and i could play gambling only on online sites, and i don't like to share in my Facebook account any tips about gambling. 

Some of my family member gamble but its just my decision not to share my gambling actions in my social media account because I don't want to announce everything I do in social media.

Yes I'm not comfortable posting any activity relating to gambling on facebook, there're multiple reasons for doing the same.

Primarily amoung them is fear of backlash that follows, be it your parents, your relatives and friends all decide to go after you, like you're some criminal.

These days the people that hire you will scrutinise your facebook more and it's stupidly to upload such stuff on social media you'll get counselling and it's irritating.

I am also not comfortable to post gambling stuffs on facebook or at any other social medias which is using my real identity. Gambling here isn't good thing to do and we can get problems if someone who hates us used it to report our activities to our relatives or even to the authority.

Actually, for me, i am hiding my identity when I was in gambling I did not even go in the casino just to avoid from other people who saw me at a casino or even my families they forbidden me to go to in any gambling area that's why I much prefer to gamble at home at any gambling site. How much more than publishing my activity on social media's account with my identity about in gambling so my family think that I had gambled all my money instead for my family. So, I decided to gamble in online rather than in field casino.

What if she caught you gambling online and you accidentally shared any gambling related post? Why not tell her that you are engaged with gambling? I don't think there's a problem with that thing, just tell her that you are not that severe addicted gambler. Before I was so scared to share about gambling but a little by little I realize that I shouldn't share any of them either.  ;D I haven't experienced the life of a married person.

It is also useless to keep on posting every second activity a person does in his life on any of the social websites. Nobody is that much interested in what someone is doing. If we talk about posting gambling related material then definitely it won’t be appreciated 99 percent of the times. Gambling is not respected anywhere. It makes sense also because this game does not bring any sort of help to the player, neither financial nor intellectual.

Actually in my side I do not have to hide from them,my family side gamble but my husband's family don't that is why I do not want to post any topic about gambling in my social medias account because I do not want to be talk about to his family.

Who may ever lets think about you on gambling post over the facebook account mate but you should have the concern whether you are doing the spam or unhelpful post here on this forum mate. These kind of reply will be trashcanned the thread also mate.

When I go to gamble or anything no one gonna check my social network for that case mate. So do not worry on that.

What do you mean by having an unhelpful post? Anyways, I don’t think there are gambling sites that quickly directs sharing to the social media, for example like when you win a jackpot, you won’t have the ability to share it in social media but in the website I think you can with the bet ID.

you are rights and sometimes for what we share in facebook can trigger us with the wrong perception with them and they can judge us with a bad person because we only share what we did. it is better to not share something that doesn't need to be shared with other people and it is better to keep silent and it's enough if only we that know. sometimes sharing something on facebook is not good for us because we have many relations in that social media and not all of them can think the same as us.

I don't think such stories should be shared on social media one if you'll are not aware facebook is more than just a tool for sharing, the FBI, government and your future bosses they track you down and completely observe you, posting such news is a bad idea, it could have bad consequences and I don't think one should even think to post like ever.

How it can be a bad idea if you are just sharing some gambling news about your favorite games? or such casino's you are not accountable for something if you are only sharing it.

But unless there's a local regulation that sharing some related topics or news is prohibited.

It's what we call hobby, if you are into something like sports, recreational activities, you love to share it but sharing some gambling related topics, it's not that bad as long as you don't hurt others and break a rule.

Well i don't many even consider those dude. Some take pride in letting others know about their exploits or even use facebook to get other gambler's attention and sell services like giving gambling tips. Especially if the society they're in supports gambling.

I think they really have a chance to see what you are trying to do and soon they could have a chance to give you advertisements that you have said over at chat in a social media. It depends also in the audience that you have.

There are people who dont really care at all no matter or the things they do post on social medias and you are right as long we arent able to hurt someone with the things we are into it isnt really bad to share up but even though thats our mentality but we cant really avoid for some people to see us on other way which they would definitely see us an addicted one.We do know that most people on the community do really have negative impressions when it comes to gambling.

I understand the part of what if's.

What if a relative saw that you keep on sharing it and they realize that you're a severe gambler and it's your addiction.

What if a manager or higher position in your company saw your posts.

Well it's private life and they can't dictate on what you shall post and what you should choose as a hobby, just be responsible and don't step on others and everything's gonna be fine.  :)

Indeed and its your own life but each person is different.Some might make this a big deal and some wont really care at all if other people even the closest or part of family will able to know on whats hes up to or what the thing he do engage on.As long we arent able to compromise or affect our emergency or saving funds on playing gambling and doesnt harm any people then you are still on good shape but be careful because too much playing would really lead to severe addiction and you cant still assure if you can handle yourself into these times.

If you show them you have some knowledge into gambling and that your first tries / steps will / are profiting you then im not sure you would be scared of some show off.
Maybe it opens your future into gambling industries. If it's your passion and you think it's your future then go for it.
