Have you ever felt that you didn't play just because you were shy? I have felt this in casinos, and I just felt the pressure, but there's no need to be because everyone just minds their own business in gambling. Probably some people even pushed you to start gambling. I just thought about this because when I tried gambling for the first time in casinos, I don't know if it's okay to sit in tables whether the game is blackjack, poker, anything in the casino just so that I just felt shy because I'm a newbie.

Have you felt this way? I don't know if playing online casinos would have that effect also. What do you think?

I have been to a casino in Vegas but I didn't gamble there just walk around not because of shyness but I don't like the card and slot games. So my so far gambling experience is only in online games and sports betting.

When you're in a casino most of them over there have come to gambling so no need to shy and others also will have their own schedule so they are not much worried about others.

A common scenario for all the newbies in casinos. I personally experienced this thing, I feel like an ignorant guy who just go to casino to make some mess but yeah they actually don't care as long as you have the money to play then they will seat with you. Also some gamblers saw this as an opportunity to fool you and have some money, I encounter this thing before. Well if you are a shy type person, online gambling is way better for you.

I believe this is true of anyone who is going to the casino for the first time, especially if you're alone. If you're with friends, then it will be much easier.

However, there are table etiquette to follow while at the tables. Some are unspoken, I guess. You should look it up by doing a search: https://www.doverdowns.com/Casino/gambling-101-casino-etiquette

I don't feel that I am shy to play gambling in the real casino because in here, I cannot find a real casino and in my city, playing gambling will make us get jail. but if in the gambling site, I think I am not shy to play gambling because I don't have to meet another person in the same table and I only play in my room besides that, I never tell to another family that I am play gambling. it is better for me to play in my room while only me that know what I do.

If you feel like that nothing gonna happen so don't think like that and always move forward for your future here,in order to succeed you need to believe in yourself first another thing don't think too much it's bad for you and over thinking can lead you to nowhere,gambling is gambling you need only to bet in your luck for profit then think positive always,you can also ask something to know what your going to do.

What did you do then in the casino if you didn't gamble? Maybe you just went around to sight see what the others are doing and how great the casino is.

That's what newbies really experience. We have been there at one point in my opinion.

Shyness isn’t neccessarily a bad thing to be ashamed or shunned of. Shyness tempers ypur decision making and lets you have enough fear and uncertainty to not let you get overconfident. Its imperative that we use shyness as a weapon and as a tool rather than a mental block that hampers and impedes pur decision making and everything else we want

I never felt shy in the casino, but I think that people does the opposite, they want to feel IN, they want to get involved in the crowd and it makes them want to gamble.
The casino makes a lot of money from bored people, people that has nothing to do and decide to go to a casino in order to feel some excitement in their life.

Casinos understand that situation and that's why Blackjack, a common casino game, is a very easy game to play and almost everybody, even people with no experience can play and win.

It's nice that there is an actual site that helps newbies to get around easily and not be rude to others. I think it applies to every casino.

That's just sad because it's very different compared to online casinos but it's your decision whether you want to game in person or not. It's better to stay at home if you're in a place where gambling is illegal.

Yes, actually it occur to me. When i was playing with my relative i was winning and almost all of their money was into me. Suddenly i became shy taking all their money at the end of the game i gave back all their losses. They are still my relative so i wouldnt care if i gave all my winnings, if were to play with my friends or some strangers i wouldnt do it.

I personally A typical person who have a lot of confidence, even when I come to casino as a newbie I just bravely try every single games and feel nothing like what op felt to shy it's weird lol . I can't see any reason why we have to shy to gamble?

Maybe because of being newbie in physical casinos that's why you have a shyness in gambling. I am also shy especially if there are a lot of people watching you when you play especially when they look at you because you are new to that place. I think it is normal with casinos but eventually your shyness will gone after all.

No, I haven’t. I play online only. However, when I went to a casino I wasn’t shy but it is true that it was a bit different because I was seeing other people’s faces. I played the way I usually do, but I was feeling a bit less comfortable and relaxed.

Yes i feel that kind of thing also when im first plays and involve in gambling. Maybe im pressure of anything else happend when im on it. Im experiemcing shyness because that was also my first and i know that what would i do when im win the other side what if im lose. That was so rediculous thing so that i preffer to play instead of being shy whole over so that i might be able also to reduce my shyness since many days passes i already enjoy . Although thier is a little bit shyness but im just continue playing of it.

I think it is more to nervous instead shy when people around you watching the game .
But if you really do then it might because shyness to meet new people , things can go wrong if you talk to someone etc.
try to do a small talk and you will think that socialize won't make you feel that way anymore.

I have kind of the same thing with live dealers in online casinos, I don't really like the attention when I place or win a bet to be honest.
They usually call out your name when you place a bet and that's just not fun for me.

I really love my privacy when I gamble, also in a regular casino.

Well, I don't feel shy to play on online casino, it is becasue i am playing gambling but my family and other people don't know about it, that's why i don't feel shy. But i feel shyness if i will go to any real casino, firstly i think we should need confidence in ourself to start bet face to face in real casino. But i have no experience of it and i don't want to go in real casino, because i have a lot of pressure of my family don't go there, then i have only choice to play on online bitcoin casinos.

There will be a lot of pressure in offline casinos and if we are just playing in that place for the first time(newbie) it would be better if we are accompanied by people who already know the place clearly. And if we are not a tough person in keeping / controlling emotions, playing with people directly will be difficult. Online casinos are a great place for people like that where we do not have to meet face to face with others.

I felt that too having a offline gambled in casino were my opponent is real and having a face to face with others opponent,
then i tried to controlled my emotion to play better as well but after a few minutes i was not felt shy with them and get focus as what i have played.
First time to set on table but after all you never felt shy to them, unlike gambling site when ever you are in your room you can play and gambled even though in what position you are. ;D

With online gambling you can gamble from the comfort of your home so I don't think there is anything to have shy on this because nobody gonna know you are gambling.

Also when you are playing with crypto your personal privacy will be maintained obviously if you are not playing in casino that have KYC policy.

That's good for you because there are a lot of people saying that they are shy when they first started with it but I think it's a work-in-progress in my opinion. Probably you are confident enough to play that you don't have to be shy because you know it then unlike when people just getting started to gamble it's hard to adjust.

I have never gambled in a real casino. but when it does happen I do not seem to be embarrassed to start gambling. than I wasted time to shame. it's better to ask how and where we should sit if we want to gamble. because I can not help myself when I see other people gamble

I have seen this personally when had gone to one of the casinos and those guys where playing poker . So when one of them was winning regularly he was getting hyper now and then as people around every was like congratulating . Or he got sudden attention and become more in focus .

Many people don't want to reveal their identity this may due to shyness or personal issues but most of the gamblers are using online betting now a days so there is no room here for shyness because no personal information is needed you just can gamble anonymously that is the main advantage of gambling.
But I never feel shy to gamble anywhere,I love to play casinos so there is no feel of shy or whatever while gambling.

True. But you know why some people are shy to expose their gambling activities? It is because of the stereotyping and re-classifying they get as individuals. They are being labeled as spendthrift, prodigal, and that nothing good can ever come out of gambling. Well yes, partly true. To be honest, I am much of a gray person when it comes to this area because I am not against it but I seriously believe it is not for me in a whole lot of sense. I think there are stories to tell that brought people to gambling, some of which are good and some, well yes, the not so good. Either way, gambling is gambling. It has been in existence for so long, and has had changed people's lives in whatever way you can ever think of. Even so, the shyness having to deal with it lives on because of public outcry. 

This is a good option if you are a shy type person and can’t go to casinos alone. Its hard to deal with people in a casinos for a newbies like you, basically we are scared to touch anything maybe go to casinos with some friends so they can teach you. Some gamblers don’t care to each other, they just want to make money.

That is indeed very true, some people are very shy when gambling in the public that is why people are nowadays patronizing online gambling websites because they can be themselves when they are in they comfort of their very homes.

I play poker oftenly and and am a bad player honestly, last days I have made a conclusion that I have "shy tactic", I stay in game for long with this tactic, but I never go in paid sector  :(

absolutely no even I live in a close minded environment ( in the middle east )
There is nothing wrong at all with gambling as long as you gamble responsibly , people here make like 80$ a month working normal jobs while this can easily be achieved in one bet or event( of course I'm talking about +EV gambling )

so don't you ever be shy , there is nothing wrong at all with that and people who attack gambling usually don't know how professional gamblers make money 

Not really.
When I go to the casinos to play, I usually only bet small amounts.
So, the other guys need to be shy hah  ;D

Although you shouldn't really compare gambling with work. they are completely different should not be mixed. Gambling will indeed make you a quick fortune, but the chances of doing it would extremely be low. And risking it will definitely be on you and no one can change the result nor reverse what you have done. Working may be boring and slow, but that is the way it should be. Just gamble for the fun of it not to earn.

Making gambling as a source of income maybe possible but not for long, others doing it, and I don't know yet how they managed to do it, however they mostly end up finding new job at the send since they got broked after awhile, theres no really assurance in gambling, better feel every game bets as a fee on playing, than aiming for more that can cause addiction.

I felt this too IRL through physical casino's when I'm with my relatives. I just don't want them to see me gambling so I felt really shy. But when I'm alone there's nothing to be afraid or to be shy of. Playing online casino's are very far and different from physical ones.

when we are used to playing in our screens or heck even if we do not get used to the smoke, the raoucous laughter and the drunk players it would really be hard to fit in the casino. Shyness sometimes becomes pur enemy as we soon fail to sit on a table and sometimes even if we do get to play we have this tendency to not be ourselves and completely crash on the face of the earth.

So that is for online casinos and it's very different compared to live table Casino. If you are already shy in online casinos I don't know if you will experience the same thing with live gambling. It's fun to not be judged or something with the concerns gambling but definitely it's fun to play it.

Well no, when I went to casinos (and its been a while now) everyone is busy with their own business when you enter in casinos. The gamblers dont even pay attention to those who are entering in the place. Its just your own feeling being a new comer in that kind of ambiance so you might be uncomfortable at first.

That is only for people who are not into seeing a lot of people. Like me when I am in a table and a lot of people are surrounding me I always feel that they are only looking at me when the truth is they are looking or waiting for the results of the game. What is more sad about my situation is the feeling that I want to go away from that table but still a lot of people are there making me stay even though when I am losing. That is why when I prefer online gambling as I can do it in my house without me feeling that someone is looking at me.

It is normal for the first timer to get shy when playing their first game in a casino.  There are factors why this thing happen.  First we are not familiar with the stuff around that casino.  Second, there are worries and lots of stuff comes into our mind.  These are the what ifs.  Now even though we are excited, we cannot avoid this kind of feeling, but then it will be overcome once we got familiar to the place and faces.  The same thing that happened to me during my first time at a casino.

I don't know about online gambling now, but about my experience in old way of gambling ,when km a firstimer in gambling l was shy and l just observe them on what they are doing.Until l expose my self to gambling and now I'm comfortable not like before very shy. Gambling is fun it really take stress after job. I just do it before as my pastym but now I don't gamble anymore. I used to take it away in my life because my life became miserable when l became an addict gambler.

I partly agree. To be specific about what I disagree about is the fact that you said that you should just gamble for fun, and not to earn. There are gamblers who come by because they all have the means to, their lifestyles allow them to, and others of similar nature. On the other hand, there are people who have no other choice but to gamble not because they have the means to but because they need to, their lifestyles surely do not allow them to but their situations push them towards it. These people definitely need to make money real quick for the support of their families, emergencies, and etc. See, they are not here for fun. They are here to earn no matter how long they intend to stay at gambling. And, I see nothing wrong about that. And to copy someone else's words here, responsible gambling is key.   

Its in your personality, you can overcome with practice if you wish. I believe that you are shy in many other segments of your life, mostly when you come in contact with people. Difference between gambling in casino and online gambling is the same as talking with people in club and talking with people in some chat, if you use internet for a long time you should know differences between real life and online life.
Well I wish you good luck, I think you will have more luck with online gambling and you will fell much more comfortable in your room playing fame you like.

To be honest I’ve been to Vegas twice & I was like this. Slots etc no problem but I was a bit embarrassed to go & play on the tables, I’m not a nerdy guy or anything. It’s just a bit intimidating, the next time I go I will try & get the balls to play roulette.

In physical casinos, it's really common for a first timer that they feel "shy" even just entering the outside area of a casino. Since they are newbie, they not known well how those machines, slots etc. are being used properly. Some gambling games, even have the same idea on outside gambling physical casinos, have varies in rules and have a thing called unique gambling terms.

Not just the interface but the whole physical casino's aura will make a newbie being literally a small one because of big whales around that have some intimidate stance. Well maybe that shyness behaviour will be changed even it's people first time to visit a casino if they have the ability to matched what whales can bet and they are being accompanied by an experienced casino player.

I think most of all beginners are feel of shyness whenever they are enter to casino for the first time. But its based on your self, if how you control not to shy. Even before i  experience, when i play on a famous casinos here in my country, there's a lot of people and when they stare i was so nervous, but i don't think of them. Ignore them and think that everybody inside this casino is to play and a gamblers, so why should we ashamed to them.

In games like poker it is not just being shy or anything its about stress and fear, because when you walk into a table and start betting poeple are going to look at you, and some of them are going to try to read you, some gamblers have played so many games that when they look into a person's eyes know if he is blffing or not so you have to be confidant about what you are doing, as for the other games as you said everyone is just minding their own bussnies and don't care about their surroindings, in online casions you can forget all about that because the humain interaction is gone, so you feel more confidant, the only thying that is weighing you down is your fear of losing.

Starting new in everything will really give you the feeling of being shy since you would really be hesitant to do things since you dont even know on what to do or even the things around you but when you already tried it out and do it on constant basis then for sure you will able take that shyness away and confidence would takes place for sure.

maybe thats your first time to enter a live casino thats wy you felt such way,or that casino is different from those casino that youve entered before?because i have felt that same way when i come into casino for the very fist time when you felt every people inside is looking at you,or minding what you were betting.but the true is.they dont even care about you because they are only concerned on what they are doing

Basically no one will pay attention to you, and they may only appreciate your game spirit, maybe you feel embarrassed with money capital from other gamblers but basically you should feel comfortable with your own game. I think everyone has felt the same way, shyness is the hallmark of someone who first tries something, but in online/crypto gambling, this will not happen.

Even though it was a very long time back, I remember the first time I walked into an actual land based casino I felt a similar sense of anxiety as you may have.  There is usually a lot going on in casinos.  However, I went with a few good friends that had a lot of experience in land based casinos.  My friends, the table dealers and the casino staff were very helpful in getting me acclimated to the casino.  I'm now a regular at land based casinos, and whenever I get a newbie that comes along with me, I do my best to prepare them, and guide them.  I enjoy taking newbies on this adventure... and some even have beginners luck!

I do enjoy a lot of online and mobile gambling too, which I play alone.  Its fun when I'm on a break from my regular work :)

Good luck and I hope you experience some beginners luck too!

Well. that's why the gamblers are more comfortable wearing online casinos than what we've seen or heard in real casinos. Crypto gambling is more practical and can get a sense of comfort when gambling without thinking about shame

If it's really your first time in casino, you'll be shy of course and it's normal especially if you don't have atleast one along with you. But if it's online casino, there's nothing to be shy of. Other players can't see your face, what you're doing, what you're feeling and what you look like.

Not yet, feeling pressured because you are shy? That's nonsense I'm even more pressured when my last bet is YOLO.  And if you'll stay in online casino's there's nothing to be shy off. In casinos, they have their own businesses and way to increase their chips, money or just earn alone. If they saw you earning that much they will stick to you and will think that you have luck on your side. Don't be shy, it's your money.

Exactly,online casinos guarantees some amount of privacy and it is why many are adopting bitcoin all over the world because it guarantees that privacy and anonymity in gambling that what conventional fiat currencies could do through debit and credit cards. I think shyness is completely eradicated when you are gambling from the comfort of your home and that seems to be the trend for the future.

There are two explanations for this either you're having goosebumps that's pretty normal, I had experienced a very bad case. When i entered into the casino all seemed nice, but when i saw the money flushing out on the tables, all the chips flying around, i lost it. I am seasoned gambler but i lost my will to play and i made a exit towards the washroom, after awhile i finally came out and told myself let's do it, and i won a handsome hand.

If a newbie is playing casino directly at the gambling table, it may be a shyness, but after a while the shyness will go away by itself, I personally never play in live, because I have never been interested in using fiat money to gamble casino. Better to play online to gamble, even if you are a newbie, shame will not exist in the online world.

Someone who's shy to gamble should stay at home and don't go to casinos that will let you see by other gamblers. And normally when you just gambled for the first time in such casino's its a new feeling but normal that you'll feel shy.

I did not experienced playing in casino having a face to face to your opponent, and now i imagine if it is really happen to me i don't fell shy because that makes you awkwardness in every game and turns you to lose. Chilling and relaxing is a must if you are there in live casino.
I tried in online casino like poker we having a conversation through chat but i did not fell shyness of them.
So therefore there's having a big difference between offline casino and online casino.

None feels shy to be a gambler. Users feel bad of revealing that they're a gambler to the surrounding they live. For this reason most people use bitcoin for the gambling needs. I never felt bad of revealing that I'm a gambler. Because, till date haven't experienced a bad impact or ruin of living just because of getting into gambling.

I use a principle of 'don't care what people say, I live once and I might won't meet them again' then I walk in full of confidence. Usually people fear to do something that they didn't even get started. Just stop thinking like that way, gambling are for entertainment, if you feel always under pressure I think there's no entertaining factor anymore.

Some people though they like to gamble are really no comfortable or i will say are socially awkward when they are in a public setting so most prefer to gamble at home rather.

Shyness is one of the things that hardened gamblers exploit. It's easy to spot at the table in a real life game of poker but it can also be noticed in a live internet session after some hands. A shy gambler will show he's not so willing to bet high and afraid to go all in. He'll be also more afraid to check a bluff. If you're inexperienced they'll know and part you with your money very fast.  If it happens don't worry. Experience comes at a price.

Shyness in gambling is a twin of lack of confidence, maybe in gambling world shy is not applicable they need to delete it because if we continue shy every game. Instead of winning they can shy to draw our cards if we play card games. I guess shyness have no space in gambling community.

For first timer's, yes. Majority of them will feel the same way. All of us experience this and it was a great feeling actually. I was amazed on how the slot machines works, the mechanics and how it was being played like a "fair game".  Everyone looks good especially the girls. I'll be more inspired playing if I'm a guy, with all those girls around, I'm all in no matter what. No wonder a lot of people leave the casino without any money left in their pocket.

Just remembered the first time when my father-in-law ask me to come with him to play inside a well-known casino here in my country, I was to shy to play. I felt awkward. So instead of placing my bet in the cards game, I find myself playing the slot machine alone, far away from the people. I felt that I missed the opportunity to enjoy as I didn't experience the excitement while waiting for your bet to win.

Wow, at least you have someone to accompany you and it was your father-in-law, that's an awesome bonding. I think as long as you have someone to be with, you won't be scared to play. Slots are awesome too.

I don't know how being shy is a great feeling. I don't like it and I wish I don't feel it all the time when I'm about to meet someone new or something. Maybe it's that kind of reminiscing feeling.

I will only be shy if I enter casinos while my pocket were empty otherwise there's no reason for me to be shy besides every one has equal right to go to any casino, play and have fun. Anyway we have now online casinos so regardless of what you are wearing or how much capital do you have you can freely do gambling and play games of your choice.

For the first timers it is a overall new feeling as they see the massive casinos inside for the first time. They see so many people betting huge on their games and celebrate on the win or frustration at the time of their loss. It is a mixed feeling when you go first time and trying to bet and in anticipation that you will win your bets. And when you start to loose it is the worst feeling at the initial stages.

Go to casinos with your friends to have some confidence, its hard to play alone you will surely feel like that. But in casinos your moneh it what matter so i think if you have a lot of it no reason to be shy. Online gambling is a good alternative and more convenient I think.

Online world is just your own world. There is nothing bad in this. People are talking to one another on chats and there is no direct contact between the players. And you are only playing with yourself no one is observing you live. While in the casinos there are people sitting around you and if you are a newbie then it will become harder for you to take all that audience in account and then play.

I don't think that shy gamblers plays like that. IMO they're just trying to be safe so that they wouldn't lose a lot. They don't like risky moves either so they avoid betting huge amounts.

I'm very shy person but i never felt strange by gambling online. I probably would feel shy in real life casino, but i don't think i'll ever go to them.

People do gambling, they not shy actually, because they do gambling for fun and earn some profit if they win the game.
If you came to casinos, newbie for me it's doesn't matter, you can ask people in there and find the people can lead you in there.
playing online casinos is not me shy, because that game is online and not came face to face. It still ok to do.

I didn't think about that. That's really funny haha. If you were to go to a casino without money, that would be really awkward.

That's what you say but that's not what everyone feels, but shyness can be overcome but losing money would be harder. lol

Not really goosebumps, but it's a type of the feeling that people would judge you because you still don't know how to act or how to play their games. I know it's nothing to be worried about but having the thought still makes me shiver. I think it would still be okay. Do you still gamble from time to time?

i think is that not a normal shyness is part of behaveoural symptoms of person have an unhealthty mind individual mental capabilities failure to achieve their goals.
shyness is mental illness playing gambling are also cause of mental illness of person because of depression being a losser or failure to achieve their goals as gambler.

The shyness came because its your first time in gambling offline, as time goes on, it effect will wear off, I had this experience when I first started out offline. So its normal. But I don't think you will have the same effect when you are playing online because when you are online, you are anonymous. Since nobody knows exactly who you are, your age or where you are playing from, you will probably feel relaxed. I guess it is one of the good reason why people opt-in for online casino than offline.

I think many people are having this kind of dilemma and that's why online gambling has become a very big industry. It's not just the convenience that people are looking at but sometimes, they don't want to mingle with other gamblers. Online gambling brought gambling to introverts and shy people

Personally, I have never played at real casinos and I don't think I would be shy if I ever did. Maybe I'm going to have an ordeal experience with a few hiccups during the first few times at the casino as suggested by many replies here, lets see how that goes!  :D
Playing on online casinos is a completely different experience altogether as the only human interactions would be on a chatbox with people typing on their keyboards. There's no shyness to this at all, as it is not at all necessary to reply to anyone and having the chatbox closed would be a bonus getaway.

That's true, playing gambling in casinos can also help us to socialize from other people and talk for some strangers for a while. What have you notice that sometimes, strangers are better than to your neighbors? I am not saying all but some of your neighbors are not like some strangers that can talk for us for a while and making friends for some time.  ;D Anyways, socialization can help us overcome our shyness.

I know what you mean and i have experienced this before and sometimes when you move to a new casino there is that element of shyness as everyone wants to see or watch what kind of skill you have but the intresting thing is everyone just minds their own business at the end of the day.

Online gambling no way you gonna be shy ;D

Actually, there was one instance in the beginning that I was embarrassed because I didn't know that I need to put additional bet on the table. All the players are waiting for me to put the bet, but since I didn't know the rules then somewhat has pointed it to me and I became the joke on the table. lol. It was a blackjack or something.

But online? I don' think so, you are not playing against someone, there's no element in shyness present in there.

I guess you have not experienced online gambling with group of your friends. If you try once then you will always prefer online gambling only with your friends. While we are gambling with our friends there will be a possibility of shyness even with online gambling. Because gambling alone is something different and gambling in front of our friends is completely different experience which will push two different behavior with the reason of someone is watching which may lead to shyness too.

But, some don't care kind of gamblers, gambling in front of others will not impact them. But honestly I'm not that kind of gambler and I do have different feeling when I do gamble in front of my friends.

Actually, I think shyness is always present in the first experience of the gambler (when he is a beginner) especially in the real casino because In that place there is always a crowd of people and mostly in the field of poker games.
Furthermore, the majority of people choose to gamble in online games and particularly in the field of sports (Football betting...) because there is no shyness in that and The financial value of gambling in online games is acceptable compared to the real casino where the cost is very high.

No, that is because I always search how to play before I try the game,  but I know that feeling, its like sitting like a fool and dont know how to play the gane, but in the casino the banker can help you to explained how to play the game, I ever asked the bankerto explained it to me when the table is empty, but some casino in Asia is a bit harsh, they can yell at you if you hesitate in playing the game

That was definitely embarrassing in a way because it gave you out as someone that isn't that good in gaming or just a newbie at that time. At least do you know how to play now?

Well that's just how humans work in my opinion. I do also think that a lot of people are now transitioning to online gambling. 

I feel you, I only felt ashamed every time I gathered all their money when I won the game. Maybe because they are related to us and its kinda awkward to get their money. Lesson learned, we shouldn't play with our relatives again. We should stick with friends or strangers.

Why would you feel ashamed when you gathered their money? It means you won and that's awesome. What's wrong with that? I think not playing just because you were shy means that you can lose opportunities of winning. Something like that. That's how you should stick it to the man. Lol

I think we don't have to become shy because we taking all their money because I think they will know this is the risk of playing gambling and I agree if in the end of the game, we give back their money. but I won't do this with my friends if I can win the games ;D but I will celebrate it with them and I will pay the food and the drinks.

First of all, i will not play with my family members and relatives. But i can play with my friends, and our policy is also same who will win more money they must give us treat. But after losing money, they won't give back. If they give back, then there is no fun in that game.

You should be really shy after what you have done, losing others money in gambling is no joke, you don't even know how much hard work they did just to earn that money and you will just lost it on gambling, but what matters is you have learned from your mistakes, giving back their money is the right thing to do since it is not yours.

If you have less money then it might be one reason to be feel shyness while playing gambling in public casino. On the other hand, people doing gambling online have not any sort of this issue and they can go in gambling with very less money without feeling this shyness type of feeling.

Having less money going to casino is very unlikely because you wont really enjoy if you do have small funds this is why when we do go into these kind of places then expected you do have the money to spend on.Shyness would really be felt at first time but if you are already a regular player then those feelings will gone. Playing on a physical casino compared into online is really very different when it comes to the atmosphere that you would feel.

I think most people have the same feeling as what you have felt when you are only starting to play in casinos (whether online or actual casino). There are alot of games that can be played and joining without knowing anyhting about it would surely be emabarassing since there are those who are hustler in it.

There are a lot of people who are just choosing to see what happens in casinos and probably just take pictures around it, not in the casino itself, because usually casinos that are really entertaining are surrounded by hotels.

That's true, I hope those hustlers already help those people who are just new instead of bullying them.

It's probably a work in progress, if they want to do that with their money, then it's okay, it's their loss.

I don't really feel shy when I am gambling to be honest I am really proud,
I don't know but when I was at high school I used to be a gambler and I am really proud to be one ,
Because I feel like I have enough money to bet and also when I win I feel like I have a lot of money.

Of course every people experience noob when they try to gamble for the first time.
The experience between betting in real casino for example : vegas and betting in casino online are different since online gambling did not have any pressure ,right ?

Overall if they can keep learn it and being luck at all time, I'm sure who can diligent to achieve it will be the millionaire.

I think, this applies mainly to new players. With time, you will develop the confidence. A small tip if you are starting with Bitcoin gambling. Seeing the current prices, it makes sense to first learn with demo accounts and then proceed with real money games. All the best.

As long as your money is not a borrowed money or didn't came from your parent's then nothing to be shamed off, I remember being shy when I need to walk home since I lose in betting in online games that I used my allowance in it. And now usually those who are shy in these activity are those that in debt and sometimes they are also those too conceited to admit it.

why played with relatives?if they are a gambler maybe theres nothing to be ashamed of,since if you lose they will take your money too,thats why its called gambling because its a matter of win or loss of bets..and better do that next time.never play with them instead play with other people that not in ralation with you

What crzy said is true. As a newbie there is a certain shyness you feel and sometimes you don't know where this is coming from. I get intimidated when someone's watching me while I play which is why sometimes I try to find a machine or a table where there are less people passing through. Somehow I get intimidated and feel judged while making my own decisions in the game which would make me uncomfortable. I also get shy when I bump into someone I know and ask me to play with them. I guess I feel this way because I am in the younger bracket compared to them. Somehow you'll just get used to the vibe and be on with it. If you can't conquer the shyness, maybe online casinos would be the right place but I really think that it gives a different feel compared to the real thing.

Hahaha this is most awkward moment for someone when you are a newbie and some experienced people are sitting on table right beside you. There are eyes looking at you and you are being confused with their looks. And especially if you are losing once and twice and thrice people start yelling at you with different jokes and points that you get confused totally. There is no option but to leave.

True, because we always care about what our friends can say about our performance.  We always make sure that we will do it perfectly.  We do not want to be a laughing stock, do we?  But I guess it is seldom that people will play against their friends online so that case would be  a rare one.  Mostly, we are not pressured in online casino unless there is some issue regarding our account and we have a huge balance on that account.  Else I believe everything is normal except when we have to talk to the support staff about something we do not know.

That guy is really amazing. I mean, how often we come across someone who cries for the loser instead of celebrating his own success. Not a common thing. Success is a tool that can be used for bragging and happiness. This is how games are. There is always a winner and a loser. If someone feels guilty after winning, then must say he should avoid playing any type of game.

Well that's how we should be in everything. Being happy and understanding to others. It's how we would understand the truth in what we are doing if we are good. I think it's best to avoid being guilty because why would you feel that way if you worked hard for it or something, right?

That's what I like online casinos for, no face to face interaction, no pressure. You can watch other people play for hours. I do enjoy sometimes watching people playing big stakes in poker. In fact I learned how to play poker by watching for free how do others play. If you possess such quality as shyness, which is a good quality btw, you definitely should stay away from online based casinos.

That's what I think when playing in an online casino. I think you have it all mixed up because if you are shy definitely you don't want to have people interaction so you would stay in an online casino site.  I also like to watch people Gamble and learn how they approach certain kinds of situations.

For me i don't even care and i am not shy when i gamble, why would i, instead of shyness you have also be confident and smart or being alert when you gamble. shyness can't help you to win when you are gambling.

That feeling is normally felt when you are new in gambling. You thought all eyes are looking at you so you dont want to make mistakes because you’re afraid to be laughed at. You pretend to be good in it just to hide your shame.

Yes, you're right mate, most of the gambling entrants especially when they are shy type people can really experience that kind of situation. That's where they feel as though they are just overlooked by people inside gambling.

I too had a recent funny moment in real life gambling due to my shyness.
I tried to use martingale on a local roulette, I don't think the operator minded it but I was too shy to continue. Though I was wining.

Yep, you can learn a lot by just watching people playing. For example, I learned how harmful the martingale strategy can be watching others betting on a dice site. And another lesson for me was when I saw a guy won 1 BTC with dice and then lost it all in several minutes thinking he can make his winnings bigger. That's how I learned that we shouldn't be too greedy.

Shyness in gambling is not applicable because in gambling you have to be brave and strong because you will face the world with courage to win their goal in life. You need courage to be focus on your aim. Because if you're shy, your weak you can't move forward you're always a loser. You can't find what you look for. In this world you have to act like a strong person do that you can over come all what is in you. Especially when bitcoin is involve you have to focus how to get it.

In my opinion, it is more fun to play with those who know you or are closer to you. That way the game will not remain just a game. It becomes a part of beautiful memories. But during the game, a person should not focus on winning or trying to avoid winning but concentrate only on enjoying the game and have as much entertainment as possible. It is not very common in this technology world to have such a get together.

I don't gamble that much but when I play i don't feel to be shy in other people ,gambling is not new in our society so my perception was there is nothing to be a shame as long as you did not harm other people. Just always control your self so you won't get addicted.

If you feel embarrassed and guilty when playing gambling or after gambling, then I suggest you stop. Why do something that does not make you happy. Gambling should make you happy and comforted, but if you expect gambling to give you a profit, then you're wrong. I do not know why you feel guilty and embarrassed, but I think you have your own reasons, whether from your neighborhood, your family, and your beliefs. If I prefer to do other things instead of gambling. Because I think there are many things more fun and profitable than gambling. For example like a side job, being a writer, and watching a movie.

If you do the martingale system, continuous straight losses would result in a requirement for a higher bankroll to play on. It's going to be hard to control yourself the more you win because you would feel that you can do anything. It's good to see people actually learn those kinds of stuff.

Shyness in gambling mean you are unfit for gambling. As gambling is in the limit / control of the person who plays only. If some one feel shy I think they should not try for it. Gambling need guts to lose and win both maximum time loose only.

Even confidence can’t do that. Our winnings and losings in gambling are not connected to our nature and behavior in any way. Gambling is totally unpredictable and random but it is really weird to be a shy gambler. I have never met anyone like that in my real life but it is not a bad or embarrassing thing for sure. Just a little out of the normal way. I also prefer to do my work with confidence but useful work

Sone people are shy when in an offline casinos gambling, and its because, there are too many openness and information to be given out which most people detest. So most people including my self decided to play in online casinos. And i must confess, online gambling is the best. there are privacy and less information given out.  And as for shyness, So far, there is no one there to look at you, gambling in an online casino won't be happening, because you are doing your own thing in your own comfort.

maybe if we are in our first time for playing gambling in the real casino, we can feel shy to stay at that place but if we are playing gambling in at least once in 3 days then maybe we don't feel shy. there will the first time for every people which feeling too shy to do something new for them and if they don't care with this then they can play gambling without any feeling except passion to get the win.

Just look up the rules and unspoken etiquette of gambling in a landed casino and you will be fine. Once you get used to how the games are played and how to act at the tables, it will be much easier. Best is to get a friend who is experienced in playing and tag along.

I agree this will somehow reduce the shyness level but it will not remove the shyness totally.  One of the reason is the  what if stuff, as much as possible we wanted to make people see that we are a newbie worsed a noob on the premise.  So basically this kind of pride triggers the shyness during this first day at a casino.

The shyness is not only occurred due to the bravery of personals it maybe caused due to the other reasons also like religion or family,etc.But we need the brave mind to face the win or lose from the gambling since it has high chance of losing percentage if the people without enough brave may get depressed if they lose their assets here.But now most people prefers online gambling so here no chance of shyness and you can bet anonymous here.

If you control yourself in gambling, you will gain a lot.In gambling, you should know where to place the bet.
In gambling, some time you will get double of bet ,sometime you will lose the entire. Once you loss something you should take it as easy. Don't keeps on trying, it will make you to lose.

No never I don't see any reason to why would you feel shy to gamble it's not that you are gambling with others money everything you use is yours including your profit or loss
Even if you lose it's fine there's nothing to be shy about it wasn't your day

That's the point of gambling. I'm not talking about being shy because you are using someone else's money, it's the feeling that you are scared to be humiliated, something like that.

I don't think that shyness would be already a determinant for being unfit for gambling. It's like when we always start, the first time around, do you remember that? I think we all start there.

No one starts into things to be directly to be a professional into new things that we do encounter. Feeling of shyness will be there but eventually would disappear when we do gain experience along the way.Theres nothing to be shy off on playing gambling as long we do know how to control ourselves and be responsible on engaging into gambling since we do know the risk on playing excessively.

When you gamble there's nothing to be shy off if that is the money you worked hard. But if the money you'll gamble doesn't belong to you or you just borrowed it somewhere or you loaned it then that's going to make you shy for doing such act that you shouldn't.

I have never been shy when it comes to gambling I think there is nothing to be ashamed of,
Specially if it is legal in your country you shouldn't be ashamed of it ,
If you are being ashamed for being a gambler then you should just quit there is no reason for you to continue you are only causing yourself a trouble.

No, one way is here and that is online bitcoin gambling. Anyone can play gambling with hidden who feel shyness. You will be surprised that i feel shy to tell to anyone that i play gambling only my few friends know about it that i am a gambler, but my family doesn't know about it. Actually main reason is that gambling is not legal in my country. So second option is only that play online bitcoin gambling and get fun.

You will feel this especially when you are still starting playing gambling maybe you shy because there are some people you know who see you playing or maybe because you are afraid to be seen to lose.

They feel fear of lose and you are right at very start people feel shy but with time as they know about gambling they use to with it and after that it will become a very casual thing, so if you are going to start you will feel fear that either I will win or lose but if you will get enough knowledge about bitcoin investment and gambling then they way of gambling will become a gateway of success for you, sharing and reading other people experience will give you strength and experience so you will become confident instead of shy in playing any kind of gambling.

Actually those people feel shame where gambling is now legal or whose religion prevent them from playing gambling. But those people who do not have such restriction will not feel any sham while playing gambling. In some societies gambling is not consider as good activity therefore even in such societies people feel sham when while playing gambling openly. There they play gambling without knowing any body in their area specially try to hide their gambling activities from their parents and other family members.

It's normal to be shy when you are new in a place. It's like the first time you go to school, you don't know anyone, everyone looks to you as you were from another planet, but slowly you start adapting yourself to the new environment. Maybe shyness in gambling isn't connected to fear on most of times, but just connected to the strange feeling when you start visiting new places that you aren't used to.

Its really hard to play when you are a newbie in gambling. Its true that you feel shy at first, I felt that when I started to bet in a 3-digit lotto. I need to queue in line to bet, and I was very shy because it was my first time to bet and gamble. Everybody in the line seems already expert with the game. I want to backed out from my queue but then I bet. Online casinos would be different because you cannot see the face of the other gamblers,so,there is no pressure and shyness,since,they cannot see your reaction or your face.

Maybe shyness isn't the right word I mean maybe just lack of confidence will be appropriate to this and it can really affect someone's thinking while he gamble because the way he thinks will be negative and it can interrupt the game. The main reason why people doesn't have confidence while gambling is he's still a newbie and don't know exactly what to do and he thinks that he can't win in any way which isn't helpful. However eventually it will build his confidence with the help of his experiences.

Perhaps building experience outside other people's company would help improve your confidence. Doing it online would be similar to playing at a real casino without worrying about how you'll seem to other people.

I must admit I felt a little strange the first time I went to a casino. Although gambling is a perfectly normal activity in these days, at that time it was still considered as a "bad" thing, or as an addiction. So when I was walking in the casino I actually felt like people would judge me because I was wasting money in luck games. Of course that I rapidly understood that I was being stupid, because they were all there doing the same thing. I actually had a lot of fun there and it was a good night. I don't go to casinos that often, but I never got that feeling again.

Yes that is not only in gambling but in every field first you will feel shyness, but with the passage of time you will  become use to and then will feel as easy to play gambling in such environment, For me as it is my own experience that in very beginning when i start gambling i really was feeling shameful but after some days i become normal and now i can play gambling with full confidence.

They always think that those people that is going to the casinos are really addicted to it, just they dont do anything in their life only betting and trying their luck like they are just wasting their money and time.because they always tend to lose. Noe a days really going to casinos is accepted all over the world if you are 18 above but it is not acceptable to the society because people were more likely to judge you

Yes.If you are greater than 18 years,you are free to play a gambling and casino.No one will force to stop you,they don't have a right to do this. Even your government can't officially stop you. If you are rich and lost money in business means, they will say you had lost money in casino or gambling.

Case to case basis because we do have different laws on each country. Some might legalized or do allowed casino businesses some countries dont really have these things.18 years is the exact age on where you will able to do things that you do want as long you do have the money to spend on then other people wont able to touch or make instructions towards you.

How do you say this bro. I found some bitcoin gambling sites has been banned by the US commerce department. I do not where you got the information all 18+ age group members only will allow to play the any gambling options.
Government can completely ban the domain too. You are completely wrong bro. Please understand the rules that implemented on gambling investments.

Yes that is right but still they find the ways and try to play gambling using different ways. I myself saw so many people who are under age and still continue to play gambling. Even some some casinos let them play gambling in their casinos just for collecting money from them. I think the government should take a serious stop against such casino because it is not good for the young generation to become addicted to gambling in such an early age.

Taking loan from someone and then gamble using that money, there is no big mistake than this. You are preparing a hell for yourself in which you have settled everything to demolish you. Brother why you are ready to take your life yourself? Don’t do that. Don’t allow anyone else to kill you. Although this isn’t a physical death but this no less than a mourning that you yourself are welcoming.

We are own nobody so why should we shy for not gambling ?
Just consider gambling for fun and profit for bonus , that's it !


Lucky for you since my country almost zero casino that still operate because my government very against with gambling ( bitcoin either ! )

Yes that is right that some countries have totally banned casino even online gambling sites, but still i think people use some other ways to use to play gambling. There even some nontraditional casinos where people still continue playing gambling. They play gambling both in physical casinos as well as using online gambling sites.

no doubt that it is really a very beg mistake if you are playing gambling on loan. or your property or even with some of your precious item. To me i think you should only play gambling with such amount of money that you can easily bear to lose. Because those people who exceed that limit and even continue playing gambling with loan, they are really putting themselves in trouble. I think you need to play gambling with your own money and should never play with loan etc.

Yes, I always feel shy the first times doing something, including gambling. All those people, they are so cool and confident, but then you get used to it a bit. But I still may feel uncomfortable playing like this, that's why online casinos is a real rescue for such people, no distraction, pure game.

It is just a matter of nature. Some people become shy even after winning the game while some even boost after losing a game, coming up with some insane reasons to cover their failure. So there is no need to worry about one’s nature but it should be accepted completely by the person himself. God has created everyone differently and we all are unique. If someone is a shy-type, it is not a bad thing. Just enjoy who you are.

If someone wants to remove his shyness, he should adopt a company of courageous people. It’s not much difficult because we can find a lot of people in our daily life who are people of great courage and one can easily identify the company of any person by his behavior.  If he talks and behaves well, everybody will say that his has a good company and if the case is opposite, everyone will ask him to change his company. Thinking off building confidence by playing on online casino is just a blunder.

That's normal if you're just trying to gamble, if you're not used to gambling you'll feel embarrassed. But if you've been gambling for a long time, you've been in the gambling world for so long, you do not have to be embarrassed at all. You do not need to be embarrassed unless you cheat while gambling. Cheating is a very embarrassing thing.

In my opinion, there is no need to change oneself because we all have different nature and nobody chose it for himself. We should accept who we are and proud to be what God created us. Everyone is unique and those who bully someone for his nature are just losers and low intellect people. Still, if someone wants to change who he is and become bold, all he needs to do is become mean and self-obsessed.

Sometime i was feel shyness, but don't be shy, it shows only that you can afford to play in that casinos. What you feel is similar to others who is watching you when you play, so just ignored that kinds of feelings. Don't get affected to those people are watching you. Think of that they don't care the important is you want to play just for fun and to earn. 

Shyness might come when you are doing something unusual and people are noticing you. Else if its legal in your country and you are of a legal age then you can go and play and without being getting any embarrassed should play it. For a newbie it can occur to an extent since very new to the feeling and seeing people gambling their with huge money might feel awkward who has come with a little spare money to play with.

Probably not something unusual but doing something that is what a newbie would do is making you shy in some ways if you have a lot of money you don't need to feel shy in my opinion because that's yours and you could do whatever you want with it as long as you know what you are doing.

But no doubt in it that In gambling usually some people feel shyness. It has many reasons, but main reason is that we have keep in our mind that gambling is illegal and our family will not allow to play it openly, because in some countries gambling is illegal. That's why it is normal attitude that people feel shy to say that he is a gambler.  

this also happened to me when i was a newbie in gambling. At first i was really shy to play my first game in gambling. Even though i have a lot of capital to bet but still the nervous in my body is still their, i dont know why i experienced it , maybe because im too young on that age and i was afraid to be caught by my parents. that was my experience before but not now because im now a veteran gambler whether in outside the house or in online environments.

maybe it happens to new people when they come to the casino but for me, I think my first time in gambling, I don't feel shy but I feel confused how to play and I just click and click my mouse although I don't know, finally I can the dice games. in that time, I play in my room so nobody knows and only me that in my room.

Maybe in some countries there is lot of restriction for people below 18 because in some countries below 18 people are not allowed to drink alcohol and in some countries there is rule for below 18 should not encourage prostitution.

In the US you must be 21 to gamble but only 18 to drink. In most countries this is the rule, though I would say that it should be a lot higher especially when it involves real money. But for the likes of something like poker which does not involve money (zynga poker or something like that) there is no such age restriction. Even slots that has no money does not have it as well. The thing is, young people don't really know what money is worth so the government has to protect them with regulations.

Never felt that feeling that I'm shy so I didn't play at all. There's one situation that I don't play because I don't have something to gamble. The shyness of being a loser is what I'm even thinking and I don't let others to push myself to gamble. I don't want others to know that I lost and how much I've gone in gambling that is the situation that I'm trying to avoid.

I remember when my cousin brought me with her in a poker club she works there as a dealer and one of her boss offer me to play and I said no because I am so shy to play with people who are pro and then he offered me that he will give me the money to play but I still refused because that would be my first to play with people that I don't personally know.

When you are in a new place mostly that would be our feeling, get shy or ashame especially when you are not used to play in casinos and you get intimidated with the people around you.
Once I've been to casino but never tried to play because first I felt shy and second was i don't know what would I play..

the embarrassment of gambling is a natural thing, gambling is considered as a thing not so good by most people, and seen melakulan things that are not so good is a pretty embarrassing thing. If you still want to gamble, you have to ignore people's assumptions and keep gambling. If you are embarrassed then you will not be able to gamble calmly.

Kind of feeling which cant really be removed from us on where when we do play on the very first time there would really be an anxiety since you put on your mind that those people are watching you and might give you negative views on how you play which actually arent possible.This mentality is normal even on normal things or routines when we do it on our first time.

I felt it before that I don't want to gamble because I'm shy. There are many factors that is stopping me from gambling so that's why sometimes I don't gamble when I have that type of feeling.

I think there is no need to feel embarrassment while doing gambling because this is already a reality of today's world, gambling in this generation is normal and in fact high profile individual, celebrity are doing gambling for recreational reason and gaining profit as will. The only thing that you should be ashamed is when you are doing gambling in a wrong way or you lose control and even your family assets are compromise just to have money to bet in gambling.

I think we could never remove that kind of thinking anymore, we are like that. Humans all the way.

So have you started gambling now? It's fun to do that but limiting yourself will help you stop the greediness.

Even in the old times, I think they are already in the generation where gamble is rocketing. If you think about it, they have no rules and regulations about that.

Feel embarrass if you stole money from others just to gamble but if you knew to yourself that your just entertaining yourself then there's nothing to be ashamed.
Some people see gamblers are just lucky go in life like there's so irresponsible and this stigmatized society is the one to be ashamed of because they jumping into conclusion without thinking.

Thats the feeling when you are a first timer of gambling games,just like happen me before that first time i  accompanied with my friends to go in casino because he wants to play in  gambling,at first he  is the one who play  a sloth machine,when he found out that i feel bored he convienced  me to play  with them at first i refused,but when the time past always looking at him enjoying  his games,i thinks i envy him and thats the time, i play also a slot machine,until its upgraded into several kinds of games in casino gambling games,and now my shy turns to aggression.

So you were shy because you are a newbie and not because you are a gambler? Which is more shameful if indeed shameful? Anyway you are gambling with your own money and you dont affet others so its non of their business. Do what makes you happy.

many people think gambling is bad and shame when gambling can come anytime. But if we do not think what others say we will not be ashamed. We are free to do whatever we want as long as we still do it in the rules, not gambling as you please to ruin your life.

Look at the opportunity that has passed because of your shyness!
Most of the time, shyness hinders us from success and opportunities and we have to work it out! When you play gamble, it is a requirement to have a strong personality to show to others that you are not weak and that you always win on a game. To create fear from them.

Yes, if you feel shy it is major problem from your side. There is no need of bothering any shy in gambling because through online gambling nobody knows about you. It is your money and it is not affecting you or your family then there is no need to feel shy.

Yes that is the problem in playing with family members and relatives. We used to play card games at home and that doesn’t me make me comfortable especially when i am winning, so i ended up empty handed most of the time just to please them and for me to be out in the game. Too far different in playing in the casino because there we will try our very best and not be hesitant to win so that we can bring home the bacon for our family.

I have felt that one time but its on a different environment. In our country, when we visit a wake, a lot of people are gambling just to past time. It just so happen that I don't know who I am playing with so I started to play low profile. I am not raising that much and just playing a mediocre game because I am shy. 2 hours past and I lost 70% of my money so I was forced to play bullyball. I kept on raising until I was able to recover and win a few bucks before we head home.

Being shy or nervous sometimes occurs because you are still inexperienced and new. Of course you don't have to sit right away in a table you feel full of sharks and whales. The first thing to do is actually observe and participate when you feel comfortable.

I agree, when I was just starting my gambling journey in a landbase casino, I'm just a standing bettor, will just observe how those sitting gamblers are doing and I will just go with the flow. There was one instance though that I was a unaware about winning a bet in baccarat because its a super 6, meaning the pay is just half, but I didn't understand so I asked the dealer and I was so embarrassed because they are all looking at me.

But now I have totally overcome my shyness and even sitting at the table whenever I want. But yeah, at first you will be shy and embarrass but when you gain experience, I'm sure that you will be very comfortable and rubbing elbows with everyone in the table.

People who gamble might only would shy if they found somebody else of their relatives or friends seen them in the casino and they get caught. As may be world would know that he does not gamble but being caught is an awkward position and it is a bad feeling as well. 

Possible that this case will happen, you would felt some shyness if someone who near to you would see you playing inside the casino when they are not aware that you are doing some gambling, I guess there's a lots of different feelings when things is happening not according to our plans, it can add some
worries and not being focused when you are in this situations, though it can also be overcome when you are already enjoying or you are already so aggressive playing gambling.

I think we don't have to feel shy when we are playing gambling and we can play gambling online in our room so no other people will know what we did. and this is what I do when I want to play gambling, I open the site in my room and playing the games and when somebody coming to my room, I can close the tab of the game and pretend I don't do anything except browsing only ;D
I think I can hide my activity in gambling games and so far, I can play gambling without anyone know.

That means you are afraid if your activity is known by others. Which means you will feel ashamed too if your secret is revealed. It applies to me as well. Gambling in my place has already got a bad name. So caught doing it will give a social effect which is very bad.

If the reason for you not gambling is because of your shyness, then might as well not gamble at all. Consider that as your blessing-in-disguise as once you have the guts of gambling, then you might continuously gamble on a daily-basis. On the other hand, like what he mentioned, if in your community gambling has created a stigma towards the people then might as well avoid it.


All of us have to start somewhere and being shy is completely normal. You are still on the beginning stage wherein you adapt to the environment and observe other gamblers in order to get complacent. Though I disagree with gambling, if you feel like luck is on your side then try your chances. Just remember to have self-control and discipline to prevent any BIG losses ocurring overnight.

Actually people feels shyness due to fear. Fear somehow works and makes you feel shy. I don't know why people feels shy, I felt frightening as at first it wasn't legal in our country and local people taught me its bad. Like whenever someone plays card games, people assumes they are gambling, even if not. I felt frightening, but after the first game or may be second I felt free and played casually.

I agree with this a lot because that's what I experience especially if I meet someone who is really high above me or have a crush on. For me it's not a good thing to be shy but that's just natural I could learn how to communicate better if you practice.

We can feel shy if we are very new in bitcoin, or bitcoin is very new in our area, where people do not have any knowledge about bitcoin, so its become difficult to explain to them about bitcoin where they will never believe on it. But i think in such places, where bitcoin is too much popular there we do not need to feel shy, but we will surely too much confident using bitcoin for shopping or for investment purpose.

I think of course it will be different with gambling online/casinos sites, anyhow., between one people and the other people doesn't meet face-to-face directly, which sometimes indeed., it does have a certain effect when playing. Well it's different with gamble in the cyberspace of course, I think we feel more confident or as braver without shame or anything that interferes to betting because anyhow all the players/users are in their place and can't paying attention directly when we betting.

no, I am not afraid if my activity knows by others, but like you said, in my place, gambling gets a bad name too and I don't want my family member know if I am gambling. so far, I am playing without they know and even if finally they know, I will tell that I gamble is only for fun and not for the money and I don't use real money to gamble ;D



I think it depends on our purposes to play gambling and for me, I do not feel shyness or afraid if the others know I am playing gambling. I give some example by myself because playing gambling in my city is forbidden and thank you for VPN that could help me and the others so we can play gambling.



feeling shy is natural and normal if we are meet someone for the first time and maybe needs time before we can communicate with the others. I have this experience in my past but now, I don't feel that I am shy to meet a new people.

No need to feel shy if you are gambling in the proper way, your money is at stake and not the money of others. The only thing that affect us as gamblers is there are beliefs that when they here the word gambling, they are thinking negative already.

This is the convenient that we can get in gambling online now, we can peacefully gamble at our own comfort zone.

It's anonymous so its favorable to us.

I've experienced things like that, when we lose constantly, emotions are unstable and the money runs out, what happens is I get angry in public and be seen by everyone.

Then gambling is not for you buddy because you might get into  fight for being mad just because you lose in gambling. Or learn how to control your emotions and accept the fact that losing is part of the game.

I agree with aishyoo17 that you cannot gamble anymore just because of your emotional outbursts and especially not going to be good if it's aligned in public. It's definitely saddening to see people acting out like that but I'm not saying that I haven't experienced that.

I'd love to catch a shy fish at a table, in poker this is pretty much a guaranteed felt scenario. The simple facts are, if you're shy don't play face-to-face games as you will get completely dominated. Your shyness will likely make you the weakest hand at the table, and will get you in situations you don't want to be in.

For experienced poker players its really easy to find out if your opponent is holding a good card or not if he starts to feel shy / scared. I'm not good at it but when I'm on the situation the feeling is intense so I prefer playing online poker instead of f2f poker. But if its for fun I'll play with my friends or relatives, I'd love to have fun with F2F games with them.

Actually if you are a first timer I am pretty sure that they will feel it too. It is normal to be that way because you haven't tried it yet that's why you feel shy. Aside from that, a lot if you enter a gambling world or a casino, they will really push you to play. Along the way, all the shyness you were feeling will be gone soon because you are enjoying the game. But as I always say to my friends who enters a gambling, always remember their limitations because gambling is a very risky game.

I think gambling is not something embarrassing dude, even I sometimes play gambling with my friends and my dad just for fun. every weekend I always gamble in soccer with my dad and that's fun. I never hide my gambling activities on my family, when my dad comes in my room and asks "what you play, I answer I'm playing dice" and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I agree that you could easily read someone who is shy or you wouldn't know unless you are playing with him. I think it is really a big factor when playing in land-based casino is that you know how to show yourself or make others review so that they think they know what you have but is that you know how to show yourself or make others review your face so that they think they know what you have but you have the upper hand because you know the real cards that could beat them. Being experienced at poker with a great Poker Face would be extremely useful.

Watching those professional poker players on youtube makes me want to try it in real life to do that poker face. I admire those bluffers who are winning with their weakest cards.

Well some professional gamblers always want to play with newbies in one table so they can win easily. Shyness in gambling is normal especially when you don't have much money to use for and you are not familiar on the casinos. Hope you find your friend to go with you so you can be guided on what to do and your money will not lose easily.

Yes I actually had that exact same feeling before, I felt so shy gambling in casinos and I would even look out if I know someone who’s playing too so they wouldn’t see me. But that feeling of shyness eventually fade away as I grew older especially when my aunt bring me to casinos with her whenever she flies back here in our country. But on gambling casino sites, at first I was afraid to gamble but after my first attempt I wasn’t shy at all and I was thinking no one knows its me not unless I announce it on the chat box.

They won’t shy at that moment rather feel ashamed of themselves at most. That is also pointless because there is no need to feel guilty in front of some relative who himself is in casino. Definitely, his presence means he wants to gamble too. What else could be the reason for going to such a place? It is not any shopping mall or café. Besides, I think a person should not do any such act that would force him to feel sorry.

I agree that you really would feel that if it's your first time or something. I think you become better with experience because the more exposed you are, you become less and less shy. Well it's very different when you are experienced versus when you are a first timer.

Embarrassed often but not for the first time playing,ashamed of people when the him knows me.There must be an unpleasant argument from that person to another friend that I'm a gambler,in contrast to the online casino the player can be anonymous with the privacy profile.

I felt shy to gamble in front of my parents when they are generalizing gambling as evil. They grew up as religious people and we all know that gambling isn't allowed in religion and that made me shy to gamble not because of the religion and gambling is prohibited. But I'm shy because during that time, I'm unemployed and I don't do anything but to follow my will and everything I like. My money is coming from them and that's really one of shameful part of my life.

Ohh how dependent you are on your family, that's right don't gamble if you are money was not there because and the money of your family is limited besides if you have a decent job that may your source of gambling activity. Religious people really hate gambling they don't want to gamble because they think gambling is made from the evil activities. So don't gamble if that is their belief and respect for your religion as well. If they prohibit gambling you should obey them because if they caught you that is really shameful to your self.

I don't see why would you feel humiliated just because you are a gambler just because the society is against it , it's your money with which you are gambling at the end of the day , it's your loss if you lose it and there isn't going to be anyone to compensate. But i can 100% be sure that when someone makes huge cash of gambling that time the society has no problem with you they will come and congrats you and maybe even try using you

Probably by making a mistake that would be humiliating. Because I don't know what I was doing and I was afraid of making the wrong move and decide on the more greedy side during gambling. Well that's how people take advantage when they know you are a winner in gambling or even in real life.

If you feel shyness it means that you have fear regarding something somewhere in your mind and because of that fear, you don’t want to face others and that basically makes you feel shy. Everyone feels shy in his/her life but the moment or the situations in which they feel shy are different. Some people feel shy at some celebration while others feel shy meeting new people. There’s nothing to be worried about because it’s all natural.

Shyness I always feel every time I join on the gambling table, but after the start of the 1-5 spin the atmosphere becomes liquid and makes me feel more calm in gambling. Shyness in the gambling table will be very disturbing for us to concentrate.

I think the best way to do with shyness is that don't mind the other people they do not care about what you do as long as it doesn't concern them with their play style. But if you make yourself really an annoying person in the table it could be a strategy to make your opponents unsteady.

Shyness when gambling exists because gambling is considered a bad thing by many people, it's natural when we are embarrassed to do things that are considered bad. But if you still want to gamble, you do not have to think about what others say, if you keep thinking about it, you'll always feel ashamed.

Gambling is something that is still considered bad habits by some countries and some even prohibit gambling so that someone who is in the country may feel embarrassed because it is considered people who have broken the rules. But while being in a country that allows such shame gambling will not be in the person, it may initially be nervous to start the game but be assured that the shame will make you rich someday when you win a gambling game.

I haven't thought about it that way but I agree with your stand because it's somewhat illegal but there are places that it is so it's I have have situation where people would feel half-heartedly. I think if you work hard and be strict with your rules it would really be beneficial for you.

I would also feel shyness if I had don't have that much money entering in a casino. Just picture yourself gambling with other big gamblers and they'll see you betting a small amount then they'll give that "what's this poor creature doing here?" look.

I haven't heard any story like that but I think it really happens but it's only on their minds I think. If they are willing to help you learn I think it's the other way around because everyone has come to the way where you are a small fish in a big pond then slowly turning into a big fish by learning. It's sad to think that people are so fast with judgement just because of that.

And if you ask me what to do with it, I will suggest you to just go out and live a happy life. Make something else the source of your income and don’t just rely on this harmful game. Because whosoever comes in wealthier, he just goes out the most empty pocket person in surrounding. So better is to turn your back and leave that casino as soon as possible because only that will be best for your life.

Yes, i agree, every beginner will experience this because there might be a feeling that they will lose money through gambling. It is completely common at the beginning of everything, once you get familiar with it you will not feel shy any more.

Why would someone close to you will even be in a casino with you if they are not gambling as well. I am sure to even see such a scenario occurring, it must have been someone you are very close to and you both share the same activities most of the time, and in that case, you are definitely not going to be shy. I have not seen a case that would actually make someone shy anyway except for the fact that you will surely be trying to not let the society or family know what you do in your space once in a while.

Except a lot of people do not know what shy means, but fear and shy does not have anything to do in common. If you are afraid, it is either you are trying to run away from something that makes that exact thing you are doing either illegal or not perceived well in the society and people seeing you may not speak well.

Being shy is more like being nervous in the company of other people, but I feel if they are people you both share the same activities with, which in this case is gambling, I see no reason why anyone should be shy.

I really don't see why people have a problem with shyness in gambling, particularly on gambling websites where they can't even see you.

You need to be a lion when it comes to gambling, you are already up against the house edge, you need to turn the tides in your favor and be as aggressive as possible, particularly in social games. As shyness can often screw you over when it comes to betting for big pots.

That's if you're talking about online gambling but if you go to Land Based casinos where you will face different people who you don't know, you don't want to make mistakes. I see your point. It's different when gambling online and you need to be the strongest that you can and possibly learn so much more with the mistakes that you have done and hopefully you could learn more strategies.

You need ti be a lion when situation comes, but you need to know how to be vulnerable and make other people think you are weak, I`m talking about poker here. That is most interesting game, you need to know how to lure people to think differently from what really is. In online poker you don`t see other people faces but there are few tricks how to make other people on the table confused.
Every characteristic can help you in gambling if you know how to use it in your advantage. Being a lion is good sometimes, but in most cases you will find yourself in bad situation in front of bigger and stronger lions, you will not be able to do much there. So use your emotions in your advantage to trick others, its how should be.

I really do not think so either. It is not like you are going to be announcing to the whole world that you are a gambler and even if you do, you are either doing it in a close place. I understand that you may feel a little awkward if you get spotted by someone you may know probably while leaving a casino or something, but in that case, everyone have their lives to live, and what is even the point, when you cannot change anything that has happened anyway.

Being shy and being a good gambler do not go hand in hand. 
Especially in card games of chance, you must possess the social skills to fit in at the tables.
Otherwise, you're best bet is to play online.

It may not go perfectly in hand, but a shy person can still play outdoors card games well and perfectly. What the person needs is to master and be perfect in their game. And moreover,  even if one is shy, when he/she start playing games and winning in it, the praise and hails from other players can lighten them up. And brings them out of their shell. So its interesting to say that no one is fully shy, you just have to know what lighten them up.

Shyness does indeed make not able to concentrate , i personally can't concentrate whenever people are watching what i'm doing , writing or any moves i'm making in general and it disturbs me to the point that i stop doing whatever i'm doing at that moment until they stop watching me and go away . I had to tel people to leave my side in 2 occasions , once in a casino where someone stood next to me to see how i was playing and one when i was having an exam and the controller came by my side to see what i was writing , it stressed me to the point that i wasn't able to think anymore and asked the person to go away in both occasions .

I think I know why you're behaving like you're, problem is you have unresolved issues that go deep within your gambling. There're past incidents that you're holding onto that's stopping you from being free. You need to sit down and ask yourself what is it that's holding me back, why I feel shy, did something in the past happen. Then slowly say I release these notions, nothing will happen to me, I won't feel shy. Repeat this for days and bam you'll never feel shy, it's easier said then done.

probably it's sometime when you were a kid or Something that affected your growth and your upbringing. I think there's no way to really fix that but you could limit yourself with what you don't really want to do and know what you really want because if you let yourself be pushed then probably they would continue pushing you until you break. it's not just applicable to gambling but also applicable to everyday lives.

Well yes I agree with this. This is natural behavior of humans that people always shy when they are meeting new people for the very first time. Slowly and gradually they become more mature and confident in their walks and talks. So, if same people are meeting after few meetups, there could be a normal conversation between them and no shyness can be spotted at that scene.

If a professional gambler always try to hunts down novices then he is the most pathetic of his kind. At least he should pick up an opponent with equal abilities and skills. What is the use of playing a game which outcomes are already decided? Most important of all, it is highly possible that the novice proves to be a lucky guy and he wins. This way, the experienced one would feel more shameful.

Yeah! Exactly gambling is only for those people who are very much patient in their lives because in gambling one loses more than winning and this is only because of the lose concentration that one puts in gambling due to the fear of losing and If people like you will lose any of the game you play, you will like to commit a murder of other person who is opponent to you.

First time or whatever, the highest that would happen is to try to acclimatize yourself to the whole environment and since you probably may not have any friend around anyway, you may actually feel a little bit lonely but what the heck, everyone actually came to the casino to gambling and I would not even consider that as being shy.

The concern here is that most people do not actually understand what shy means, because if they do, they would know there is actually no reason for anyone to be shy in a casino unless they are just shy naturally and they do not do well with crowd.

Maybe you really should not be gambling then, because since you are not proud of what you are doing to the extent that you do not want a fellow gambler to see you whether you know them or not, then why do it in the first place. Have you forgotten that the person you may know if present in a casino actually came there to have some fun gambling in the first place and you would rather both just accept your fate and see that you both share something in common without any form of being shy ?

Yeah I agree with this. But you know the main issue isn’t that whether to go for casino that is land based or an online one. No, but the thing is don’t go in there. Either they are land based or online, both will be looting you. They will not leave anything with you until you are going in there. So friend, don’t just waste your life and your asset that you have earn so hard, think wisely.

Yeah,i feel its also bro,when first time i played in slot machine in casino,because i dont know how to operate or play this kind of gambling,and i thinks  everybody will laugh of me,when my cousin bring me to the casino and teach me how to gamble this way,otherwise in your perception that playing online casino would affect also your shyness,i thinks its a big no,because you have no personal apperance appear on them,when you play online games.

You will not have a problem with "shame" if you gamble online, with online gambling, you can do it secretly, you can gamble without anyone knowing around you. But if you gamble to the casino directly, your neighbor sees you go to the casino, you can be embarrassed unless you are confident to gamble and do not listen to what people say.

there are some hotels that have great casinos and it's not bad just to go in but it's the person's choice if you start to gamble. If you started to gamble you should be ready on the possible outcome of having losses instead of profit. If you can manage to lose it when there's no problem it's the person's choice.

Personally I think being shy can majorly play to your advantage.  Especially in a game of texas hold'em.  Being shy might give you and edge as being hard to read.  Unless of course you've got some major tells..I think it can make you a bit of a wild card and if you play it right can be used to your advantage.

Actually I am little bit confused about your CommNet. It really non-understandable but what I have perceived from your statement is, if a person knows some other gambler but he doesn’t want to recognize in public, this is really bad. And you know the reason is just your shyness because you might have been lost your money in front of him. So why to shy? You did wrong now face it.

This does not only apply in gambling when you start to do something you never do before be it either hobbies or going to an interview, you will feel some awkwardness at first only after a while when you are more comfortable then awkwardness will go away especially when meeting strangers for first time be it either a date or online friend. 

That is different from place to place, in some place specially where gambling is not legal, there people usually want to play gambling as anonymous, they do not what other people know about his gambling, therefore if he is playing gambling in front of a person who know him he must by feeling shy, some time when we use to play gambling in a new place we even then feel shyness and do not feel confident.

The social impact that would have been caused if we were caught as gamblers could sometimes be very uncomfortable. That's why so many people are trying to hide their gambling habits from the people closest to them. The embarrassment we will receive may be very oppressive.

That is pretty much the case for anyone who gets shy from gambling. Normally, I do not see any reason for that to happen since if you are all present in a casino, you are obviously all doing the same activities, and even if you spot someone you know in the same casino, you just will only end up laughing it off, which would be more like, 'so you come here too?' and with that, you both have something in common and I see no reason why that should bring shyness.

If you don't gamble because you are shy then you probably have some psychological problems in your life that are not necessarily related to gambling.
Most of the casinos giving you the feeling that you are at home, everybody accepts you and care about you, which in fact all they care about is take your money.
if Shyness blocks you from gambling then go ahead, whatever blocks you from gambling is acceptable.

So being shy is already a psychological disorder? I don't think so. Probably something that had happened to make you feel embarrassed if you make a mistake could be one of the reasons but not a mental health problem. If you think that shyness is something that could be cured, it can be, in my opinion, especially if you practice yourself to talk to other people.

Yeah its often felt by me, because I never went to place of gambling and among the friends I feel shy to bet someone. Most of my friends bet of cricket games. There is a huge gambling network on cricket in my country and in the whole world as well. I bet just one time in my whole life and luckily I won but I am not addicted of gambling and never gamble again.

At some point it could be consider as one. There are people who are afraid to communicate with others and it's a fact. Pyschologicaly speaking being shy could be a syntom of a person in a state of depression. I'm just speaking in general, since shyness and psychological were included. Which I think is really possible.

I think being shy is also a mental disease but it can't be cured by any medicine it can be only cured by changing our life style and other people's help also needed to cure the shyness of a person.But shyness in gambling maybe differ from that like we can feel shy we lost our money and can't get back like these.

There's really a difference between shyness in real life and shyness inside gambling activity, most of the time those who's shy-type are wouldn't bother to go inside gambling house they prefer to stay alone and wouldn't bother to do any social intercourse, unlike those who are just shy inside the gambling house as they don't want someone to see them playing or someone will discover their activity.

I am a shut in that is the reason why every time I go in casinos or wherever the people is there, I am Shy. But, I think this is the reason why I overcome my addiction to gambling.

Even though I am shy, most of the people there already knew me so I just sit wherever I was called by them but most of the time I am alone and even though there are some that knew me, they can't see me since they are busy gambling either losing or winning, I don't care really. I made a lot of mistakes inside a casino and that just made me more shy and the more I became shy, the lesser mt addiction is.

Don't gamble because of shy is not a psychological problem, it's actually a normal thing. Acknowledge the fact, gambling is considered a bad thing by most people so embarrassing to gamble is common to some gamblers. People in the casino will accept you because they are gamblers too, you will not be embarrassed. Unlike the people who do not gamble and they talk about you, you must be ashamed unless you can ignore it.

Gambling in front of your parents ? Why would you even want to do that in the first place ?

Feeling shy is totally different entirely from feeling ashamed of yourself or feeling some level of guilt that you are doing things that are against the norm of your society or the principles of your parents.

I do not know how old you are, but I am sure there is a certain age someone must have gotten to, to be able to make decisions, and unless you are not yet there, and you cannot own up for your actions, then you should really not be gambling in the first place.

Yes there's a great effect when you started playing online casinos. So if you were planning to get involved with gambling I would rather say not because it will never give any benefits or you can't earned as high as we can earned who joined signature campaign. Don't pushed yourself in gambling because once you engaged in gambling and became addicted then its hard now for you to give this up.

It's weird that there are people who are shy when they are playing gambling. There is no reason to be shy because the money that you are using when you are placing your bets is yours, so why being shy? unless the money that you are using when you are playin gambling is from illegal activities, like you stole it from someone, well if that is the case then you should be really shy on using it.

I agree to this, shyness can be cured for sure. Personally, I was also a very shy guy in my twenties. With time, I have evolved and completely a changed person now. Now, I can give speeches in open and I get appreciation for that. Shyness is usually a condition that arises due to lack of exposure.

Hahaha exactly what I wanted to say. We are so stupid really. We just don’t care about anything. We are becoming a source of profit for them. And in this profit, we made big losses to ourselves. We always lose and make their profit increased because as you have said, gambling is all about fixed on the side of house. They always win and make us losers and earn big profits from us as well.

In a gambling game, either you win or you lose and regardless of any mistake, which I think is not even possible, game’s outcome is decided. So I don’t find any point in this for feeling shy about gambling but still if you don’t feel yourself at ease in the gambling environment. It would be better for you to not even visit such places. Gambling is just a useless game and if possible, just avoid it.

I think there isn’t anything in gambling due to which one should become shy off. Saying this we should feel ashamed or shy after losing a game in gambling would be nothing else than a big blunder form one’s side because winning or losing is a part of game and this truly depends upon your efforts for winning in any game. If you will put all of your efforts in any game, there is no chance of your losing.

It is not a psychological problem, being shy on playing gambling is just because we don't wanted to make a bad image on our friends or even to our love ones, and also add that we just don't want to disappoint ourselves on whatever the result is. And don't you think that it is a advantage for a certain individual if he is shy on playing gambling, that way, he could prevent himself to lose his money on betting.

I have never tried to play in casinoes, but I think I would also feel shy because I have no idea how to play in casino. I only do casual gambling, and would like to play in a casino someday. But, I am afraid that I might get addicted to it.

When it comes to confidence and having a betting strategy and not being fearful on a table I think it is a bit of a negative.   I would be one of those guys like on the TV with heavy shades on at the Poker table.    No offence meant but if it helps me concentrate better and perhaps even bluff then thats how'd I'd play under pressure.   Otherwise its a case of finding the game that puts the player most at ease, cant really expect to succeed when wound up and tight, mistakes will only happen more easily imo

There’s nothing to feel shy about while going to casino to play gambling because everyone makes a start like this, so no need to worry. Also, if your shyness still not going, you should better visit casino two to three days so that you can learn from other gamblers that have come how to play every single game easily. But I would recommend you to stay out as much as you can in gambling.

Yes. Anyone who is even shy for being in a casino is actually not serious. What is there to be shy about in the first place? The fact that such a person is gambling and does not want to be perceived as a gambler by fellow gamblers or the fact that he is not cool with himself gambling. If these are all the case, then why would such a person be found in a casino or be gambling as first. It is just height of non-seriousness as far as I am concerned.

Yes. I also felt it when i am in a casino, i felt shy to join in their tables because they have a lot of chips and i have only few , but in a long a run i have already sit down and play because i was tempting to play. I think i felt being shy in gambling if i am uncomfortable with my opponent if there were not at my same age and not same as my gender.

I don't think shyness in gambling should be felt around the players you are playing with else you need to work on your self confidence rather i think it's genuine to feel that with an outsider or outsiders who look down on gambling.I don't think i will be shy in a similar scenario as yours because i view everyone around the table as a co-equal.

It is a problem which seems not too big for the other people but it is a problem for the gambler who is feeling shy because it might be a psychic disorder as majority of the people don’t feel any shyness when they go in casinos even if it’s their first time. So people around him should take his problem on a serious note rather than making fun of him because he will never be cured in this way.

That was a bit bold and true. Anyone who is in casino does not need to give attention to other casino players because all belong to same league in this concern. All are there to gamble. No one can judge the other person on any grounds. Besides, if a person is afraid of being caught doing any activity that may become a reason for feeling guilty, he should not even think about it.

Well besides the gambling thing, this is natural I think. There is always a sense of shyness over the face of a newcomer in any field where he is just a newbie. This lay about some days after the joining in anyplace and later on this shyness just become converted to the confidence.

People around you start talking with you and you become relaxed with this. But here in gambling, even this is wrong, you mustn’t be confident in gambling.

Yes, I understand that you don't need to give attention to other casino player, but take for instance baccarat games, most of the time all sitting players talks to each other. Or even in a poker game, sometimes you need to strike a conversation. So its ok to be shy at the beginning because maybe its your first time or you are not that comfortable. But as soon as you relax and get the feel of the people around your self confidence shoots off the chart and you go and talk to other players as well.

Gambling is one of the relaxation of ourselves. You don't need to become shy when you are on the game. It's just only a game that make your own happy. You just enjoy have fun and not to kill a joy.

we live in different cultures and rules, some areas may legalize and allow gambling so gambling image is not bad, while in other areas gambling is identified as something illegal, so players feel embarrassed if seen playing gambling? I think it's natural because of the influence of the environment

There is a huge difference between shyness that a person feels when he first enters in a casino and the one he feels when he enters in some more respected game or place. Let me clarify a bit more, for a newbie gambler It Is more like, “oh, I should not be here” or “this is so embarrassing”, basically a feel of guilty and shame while let’s say, a new football player may fear his first entry into the filed but he will be satisfied.

Yep its actually very relevant to someone even slightly new I think.  Some have the confidence to go ahead and make mistakes no matter what but alot of people will not realise being overly careful or concerned with avoiding mistakes could be the mistake itself and the game is lost from excessive apprehension and trying to be 'careful'    Gambling itself is all about judging risk well, not just winning but also not being afraid to lose initially I think thats a problem to get past.

  I hear similar stories in investment or gambling, some have the mindset they must always win

Correct. There was one time that my friends insist that we should go to this poker tournament because there's a lot of good players in that "casino". So I dress up nicely, however, its not the casino that I'm expecting. Its someone like a class B casino and all the players are just wearing just a shirts and short pants. Damn, I was embarrass and shy away and I told my friends that we should go somewhere else because everyone's eyes is on us. So I just go around and check every table and not show my embarrassment and left in about 20 minutes or so.

People should not comfortable when it is not legal in their local areas and this makes them to feel shy. Even though they have intention to gamble but by bothering about they feel shy playing gambling. So it is always good to quite if you feel shy about gambling.

I think it doesn't only make you shy but also feel guilty for wanting to gamble. It's just natural and others don't want to do it and if it is illegal by the law then you wouldn't really dare to gamble anyways.

I think many of us feeling shyness for the first time for playing gambling and I think maybe we are not feel good to stay in the places especially if we are playing gambling in the real casino. but maybe if we play gambling in online, this feeling is not to come out because we can play in our room without anybody knows. the casino will always welcome for people which want to try their games and they hope that person can enjoy their time to stay in their places while they can try many games.

Anyone who is feeling guilty for gambling should not even be trying to gamble in the first place. Obviously, it is either against some rules which the person is going against and in such scenario, such a person is just trying to put himself in a position where a lot of anxiety is going to be kicking in. This is a different case though from someone who is shy.

Being shy in gambling however, is not something I see as realistic, I understand like some have said, that you can be shy if it is your first time and if it is your nature, but relating it to gambling when you went to a casino with no one forcing you is actually unthinkable.

the only thing that made me embarrassed was when I lost a second time, like losing my self-esteem. as well as money lost, such as losing self-esteem.

It’s all in their mindset, some people believe that gambling is bad so they don’t want to be seen gambling by other people that’s why they are shy whenever they are entering a gambling establishment.

If they believe that gambling is bad then why gamble in the first place? I think they are shy because they don't want their friends to know that they are gambler because they will be judge right away.

In the real sense, these are basically two different things and anyone who is having that kind of mindset like 'oh I should not be here' should not even be there in the first place. I do not see anything that should really result into being shy when it comes to gambling for real since where you are, only other gamblers are present and the only reason you can feel shy in any situation is when you feel odd and I do not see how that can ever be applicable for someone who used their own legs to walk into a casino.

No. I've never felt being shy in gambling but i feel pressure while i am playing gambling and it is normal. Unlike being shy it is not normal in gambling because if you are shy you will never enjoy the game, remember just enjoy the game and no one would be mad to you if you sit in tables as long you will bet or a player.

This is what the gamblers are forgetting now, they forget to enjoy the game as everyone is chasing the profits and losses. The shyness only comes if someone witnessed my losses and that's humiliating when someone actually sees your bad moments in gambling.

I agree it is part of the game, we must enjoy it instead of thinking about what we lose. If we think too much about something I guess it would only make the situation worst. Being shy in inevitable especially if you have your reasons. We all know that we are just doing it for fun because there is no guarantee that you can earn something.

Not being comfortable for going against the law in your country which you know it is a huge offence is different from being shy. Apparently, what you are doing in that case is trying to watch your back so you do not get nabbed by the authorities. Being shy however, may be something that is applicable to someone who is just hitting a casino for the first time until he is able to start mixing with others, but that is all I can actually think of with respect to being shy.

Yeah the first entry is full of shyness because gambling is a bad thing and when you want to start any bad thing you will want to hide yourself from other people and this is shyness. New gambler tries to have a seat far in a corner and tries his luck. But shyness and gambling are two opposite things and shyer person never play with confidence and clear mind.

I am not in your many because I don’t feel shyness not only in gambling but also in other games you play because these games are for fun purpose basically so we should have fun while playing these games rather than worrying and shying at the start of the game because this shows that you are still not that much mature which maturity is needed at that age from your side.

Gambling is a bad thing and a shy person will never be a good gambler. Gambling is an evil thing and evil people gamble in casinos and in other places. If a shy person starts gambling he will be a worse gambler because gambling needs experience and knowledge and a shy person cannot use these things while gambling. A sy person can only gamble online.

I understand there may just be that feeling you will always have when you are entering a place for the first time since you really do not have friends around, you have not mixed around to know how things are done, so there could still be some element of being a bit shy but not because you are being perceived as a gambler like some people have portrayed while reading through the thread.

Being shy however, depends on each individual's personality, as some people who are extroverts always find it easy to mix in new places compared to introverts.

Maybe a shyness and some nervous at the same time if we go to the casinos, especially if we are new to that place. Socialization can help us overcome our shyness it can also make some friends for a while with some strangers. So I guess playing gambling in casinos can also help boost our socialization to other people.

I actually did feel shy when I first gamble when I was legal to gamble, I have no experience or anything I just went there at first and feel shy to play that's because I'm afraid that someone will look at how I play and judge me that when I started and gain some confidence, I just don't care what other people think and just have fun playing and winning. This is really common if you are a newbie who doesn't know what to do. There is nothing to be shy and admitting it, what it matters is that you overcome it and just play and have fun.  ;)

I don't see it as a bad thing. Gambling is a bad thing every time you became proud of yourself on winning some even though you lose a lot more than that.

Losing your self esteem means that you will be having a hard time gambling again especially in the casino where you got embarrassed and I see that as an opportunity to get yourself out of gambling, it is for your own good, man. Think again on gambling your money since you might build again your self esteem on gambling and the worst might happen, in which being addicted on gambling.

I think if it is our first time to bet in a real casino then its normal to feel ashamed setting on the table, like me when I first to play real tong-its, I feel shy from my opponents and watchers thinking that they have bad comments about my play strategy.

What do you mean that you lost your self-esteem?  I understand if you have been embarrassed but I'm sure that you have made your mistakes and do learn from them. But losing self-esteem is different and difficult and its hard to overcome. It will cost you more money if you continue playing that way so I advise you to at least control you gambling habits.

of course there must be a shame in gambling, for example that I often meet it from the capital that we have and experienced a continuous defeat. because the gamble is not easy to play it

In my opinion we should go with every type of the work in this field because every field have his own experience to work has to be done .
First time before I was ever made gambling was really big for me , I started my first gambling at nitrogensports site where I am definitely 3 win back to back in cricket game bet and I realised that I can make any amount of earnings in this field and Never feels that I will face any type of the loss and also I become more stronger with my earnings in this field instead to get shy that I am playing game of gambling .
Well it is a type of addiction and a part of fun if we can give limit to us .
Otherwise it will steal all of your Money step by step all .

That is a given since it is your first time and I also think that it is a good thing not because you are shy but because you are being aware of what you are doing. Being afraid or shy has it own positive effect to people and I think it is a good thing that can help people in the long run. It might be a good thing for us since we are being shy to our opponents, we might consider to stop gambling.

There are times when a gambler is in a difficult position, it is when the desire to gamble is so strong but there is no money can be used to fulfill the desire. At times like this, the tendency to do bad things happen. For example, use the money that should be used for other more important things. If a gambler has done something like this, shame will surely come up.

It is not that some people think gambling is bad out of no facts. Due to this game, people have not only lost relations but their lives too. There have been cases in which gamblers even bet their homes and family members. With the passage of time, its addiction gets stronger. Ultimately, gamblers lose their senses and start hurting people around him. This is a bad activity in all ways.

It is really weird to hear that a gambler faces trouble while gambling. If it is that annoying in any way to be in a casino then why on Earth he is there at first place. A man should own his acts fully. Any activity that can become a cause of embarrassment should be avoided.

Besides, if casino crowd is there real problem or being watched out, internet is the answer. Gambling sites have been created for such reasons.

Online gambling sites are here for many purposes at the same time we must need to understand the dangers of using online gambling sites. If you are feeling shy while gambling in front of more people then you will avoid gambling over time. This will reduce the chances of bad consequences of gambling. When you are gambling within your home and at any time you prefer, you will get addicted to gambling more quickly.

I mean to say feeling shy in casino must be a good thing and we should not find a solution for it. We must enjoy being a hero by watching out but thousands of people and it will help to get rid of our gambling thrust.

Yes and I think it is perfectly normal. I felt the same once in a sushi restaurant when the cook would prepare the sushi for me in front of me. I just had to order the fish, the kind of a roll or sushi or whatever kind I wanted. I didn't know all the japanese names involved and I felt really shy and I just ordered what the other guy did. Really. We humans work that way...

That is what always happening during the first time we are trying something, we are shy, afraid of making things messed up, but we have to know that it is just normal, we are not going to learn if we are not going to commit mistakes in our life, the failure that we are having are the ones that will makes us more stronger. The first time that I have tried gambling was not that bad at all, I've tried it online so that nobody will know about it.

However I quit playing gambling after I tried it a few times because I've realized that it is not good for me, earning money is so hard but losing it on gambling is so fucking easy.

I don’t think the first entry in a gambling casino is full of shyness for the gambler because there is nothing to feel shy about. If the gambler is feeling shy just because of the other gamblers that are present there, I think this is not something else than a blunder from his side because they all are the travelers of same boat. If he is doing something wrong, what other gamblers are doing, they are also doing the same thing.

I agree with you and i guess it really happens to all newbies. I think it is supposed to be clled as shyness in gambling but instead being ignorant as you what you have said. Because gambling in casinos is a like more different than playing gambling inside your house or your friend’s house. In casino have different rules and different people you will encounter in the table until later on we will get used to it.

I think one of the basic ethics of a good gambler is his confidence and so if you are shy then you have no business venturing into gambling in the first place. I am tempted to believe that many of the people who feel shy at gambling are the ones that are not ready and resolved but for the sake of what they stand to get they enter into gambling.

Let’s just say if they start enjoying the game, what good would that bring them financially ? Can it save the money that is destined to be lost by the end of the bet ? Absolutely not. The truth is, no matter what a gambler is trying to get out of this ridiculous game, threat of being ruined financially lies. That is why I think a person should try to avoid this game as much as he can. It can be a pain after some times of engaging with it.

We may make use of shyness to come out of gambling. Because we just need some reason to come out of gambling which is similar to most gamblers are needing some reason to continue it. If the reason is good enough (it will be more effective when it is linked with personal things like shyness) then we can easily quit it.

Basically gambling was introduced for fun purpose only but the people of this world made gambling a source of earning money rather than a source of having joy and pleasure which was totally a bad thing and it destroyed the lives of many gamblers in which young and old both people are involved. Everyone chases profits because no one wants to give away money they earned.

Being shy means that you lack the self confidence to begin betting in the first place, and with the lack of self confidence, you will see yourself making mistakes which means that you will be losing money as a result of that.

Not all the gamblers are this much expert at gambling that they can do all the things in the best possible way and then make some good earning. Most of the beginners find it very much difficult to play well and that because of which, they lose their money as well but even then, they don’t learn any kind of lesson and that they keep on trying their luck and at the end, lose all their money.

There maybe other reasons for their shyness other than the losses is maybe religion too because many people want to gambling but in their religion it considered as sin so they have shy to enter into gambling.But now there it is modern era of gambling through online where you can play anonymously without any hesitations or shyness,just enjoy it whether making money or losing some.

No. I have never been shy in gambling because how would you supposed to play if you are shy to sit in tables. You better pushed yourself to.play because you really can't play if you are shy, all you will do is watch them play. It is not normal to be shy when you are playing gambling feeling pressured is normal while playing.

I think i never felt being shy in gambling i only feel pressured while playing and sitting in tables. Even you are just a newbie in playing gambling you won't need to be shy to play and join tables because you won't be able to play and there are players who are kind to their opponents, so just get a long with them and play.

I don’t understand what you mean by when I was legal. How the person becomes legal for gambling. Are there some special requirements by the state that you would have to fill and after filling them, you would be legal to gamble? I don’t think there is anything to feel shy about when you go to casino for the first time to play gambling. If you feel shy then it’s better for you to leave gambling.

I think only the people having a big heart and patience should play gambling and the people who don’t have both of these characteristics in them, they probably should stay out of this gambling business because gambling leads you to very sad ends at the end of the day when you come back home after gambling. Also, when the people become addict to it and have no money for it, they simply want to suicide.

This is our nature. Humans are shy whenever they are prone to something new. We don’t just become easy at all in start instead, we have to take some time when we manage ourselves according to the environment and people. This nature comes out at gambling table too. But this gambling shyness is seriously ill. We don’t have to face such shyness because gambling isn’t healthy for us.

In my opinion to avoid shame and shyness in real casinos you should quit gambling. It is bad experience to lose money and there are many people sitting on a table looking at you and you lose. Definitely you will feel shyness. Shyness is good because you may feel that gambling is bad thing and I should quit it as soon as possible to avoid shame and shyness.

Yes but once you start betting the big money, and play gamess like, Blackjack, Poker, etc, you began to see familiar faces and people you just like to play with!!!!

So you better know the badness of gambling. Losing money and self-esteem means to destroy yourself and when you destroy yourself definitely your family will automatically destroy. Before the end comes quit gambling today and start any online or offline business. It will be better for survival and you will be respectful in your community and in your family as well.

Shy? I think it has nothing with gambling, but self confidence really does. If a person has not self confident in life gambling, cause of people who sit around, why not to turn to online gambling where the person can feel free?!

Yes, as you gain confidence playing and sitting in front of others players. However, being a first timer and even though your really know how the games is played, you will be feeling some shyness, its human nature and I think every gambler has also experienced it.

Although I have this one bad experience when I was starting my journey. There was one casino that I played and for obvious reason, one player noticed that I'm a beginner and he tried to intimidate me and keeps on embarrassing me in front of other players. I wanted to punch that mofo in the face but I'm glad I was able to control myself. But after a while, every time I will bump shoulders with him, he was like very friendly to me.

But you were feeling a bit low because you were a total stranger who has no idea and cannot make a decision for his own. At the same time you did not want others to know about this. But honestly, Japanese people are sweet and would have helped you if you had asked them.

Shyness in gambling is not due to inability of dealing with unknown, but playing this game even after knowing how lame it is makes people uneasy.

It seems you may be an experienced gambler who is wasting his money for long and long times. But when newbies are there in the casino, they shy. They shy because they are new at some place with different people. And if the people on their tables are quite old and experienced then the feeling of being new gets compounded with inferiority complex as well and ends up in high level shyness.

Actually no, it was a European and a very snobby restaurant, with all the guys using the Japanese names with ease, and you are perfectly right I didn't want them to know that I was not knowing what I was doing. No sweet Japanese people to help you out, only snobby Europeans around :)

I mentioned that example with sushi to show what I was feeling when I was in a casino for the first times - I was kind of shy too, not knowing what I can or should do, and you are right - not wanting others to know it.

No doubt confidence not only in gambling but also in other fields of life leads to a successful life because with confidence, you can easily conquer every mountain of life. And like you said in your comment, a person having very little or no confidence shouldn’t play gambling because in other fields, he can easily get a recovery but in case of gambling, the recovery is almost impossible.

This is the characteristic of a true gambler. I don’t know why people start shying when they put their first step in casino. I don’t know what the hell is going on in their minds at that time because a mature person will never feel shy for the first time not only in gambling but also in other fields of life because there’s nothing to feel shy about. Every one learns like this and no one is born perfect.

if I have to relate the behaviour of a person with the outcome of the game, definitely both have no connection with each other or you can say these are totally independent sets. Moreover, if would like to support you in this point that if someone does not feel okay playing this game, he should not even do this. This will hinder his fun too. Besides, what is the point in feeling embarrass or shy in front of people of your own kind?

there must be, for example, the shame when we lose the gamble and the embarrassment of having little capital in the appeal of our gambling gambling capital is very much

This is one thing that I totally dislike about gambling. Even the person becomes an experienced gambler; even then he has to lose games in gambling and sometimes in front of the gamblers who are totally new to gambling. That makes the gambler to waste his time and money even then they are willing to play even when they know there are no sure profitable outcomes of this.

How will someone know that you have little capital to begin with? And why are you so embarrassed by it? Having a small capital has its disadvantage but I don't think that is one of the reason why someone will be embarrassed or feel ashamed of. If you step into the casino everyone has a equal chances of hitting the jackpot no matter what your starting capital is. I think the main reason why first time gamblers is shy is that they are somewhat intimidated by how big a landbased casino is and they need to understand first what is the smallest bet that they can put say for example in a table game like blackjack or in a slot machines.

This happens when we were newbie in that particular place,or were newbie in casinos,because more of gamblers are being trained in their local places or lucky if sometimes playing in online casinos.

But when time that they go to the real casino,they felt being others ,i have once felt this but when my friends continue to encourage me,then i got to play with confidence

The meaning may be shy when we face the scorn of others. We know gambling is not a positive thing because more bad news about gambling game. So I rather feel that gambling game is not a suitable thing done by people who want to get a better life. The risk gained from the gambling game will be much greater because it must be ready to accept everything that is caused.

Look, everyone here knows well that gambling is all about luck. There is nothing to do with skill and experience like these factors are highly appreciated and helpful in other sources of money. This can’t be even called as source of money so how can people think of bigger rewards and living styles from this gambling when they surely know that this would be the whole and sole reason of their disaster.

Yes, I had personally experienced this. In fact, all the gamblers out there must have experienced this when it was their first time. I can relate myself to the scene you described here and that is a common scenario for all the newbies. But yes, no one really cares. They all are busy in their own planning and playing games. They will also welcome you if you have pocket full of money. And it normally is everywhere you have to give yourself a bit of time to adapt to the situations. No one is born perfect after all.

certainly there, because this human nature that we often encounter especially in the world of gambling. because that often causes the shame when we lose the gamble continuously

Yes, but mostly it will happen in casino gambling or even in a gambling house that we are playing facing real people because we feel and think that they are thinking of us on how we play. But in online gambling is difference because we are playing anonymously so there is no way to feel ashamed.

When it is first time, I think the people become more confused and stressed rather than becoming shy because shying for the thing that you are new to something shows immaturity of one. It shows his immaturity because he is unable to deal with the circumstances that’s why he is shying. When people play any other game, they don’t feel shy but in case of gambling, they start shying.

Besides gambling and betting, there are so many other good sources of earning and good sources of entertainment as well. Why everyone is just getting in there to attain these things. We need to work out for this that must be done as soon as possible because we are heading towards destruction. We demerit our lives and our living standards that mustn’t be done.

I don't agree with you. Everything, but literally everything when done in proper measure is good for people. Even alcohol (when drunk as they do it in France, a glass of red wine to wash down your dinner), cigarettes (if you smoke one or two cigarettes a month or a week in a good company, or a cigar after your child is born), gambling (if you do it sparingly in a good company to nicely pass some time), everything!

And obviously, everything in excess is bad, that is true too.

"heading towards destructions" is something I can hear a lot lately, and it never happens.  

I don't think directly i can say shy but somewhat afraid about whether he is going to lose the money, of course, a person has different views about the gambling but most of the people feel shy to gamble. Gambling is different kind of things where everyone considers negative about it.

Yes, it is like being afraid to be find out by our family or even love onws that we are playing gambling. Others play it online because they don't want to expose themselves to the public, they just want to keep it a secret. I found it a very shameful thing, why, because if you wanted to do something be brave enough to let others know about it.

They are probably ashamed of their selves because growing up they are taught that gambling is a bad thing and is up to no good. But for me there is nothing wrong being a gambler as long as there is a limitation and you do not do something stupid to get money to sustain your habit.

There is nothing which can help you in getting over that shyness. It is you who need to work over and that you need to groom yourself in a way that you can do anything which you want to do in your life and that too without any kind of hesitation or anything like that. You need to be strong enough that you can make some bold decisions so that you can then hope for a better living.

Rather I believe these gamblers must have a sense of guilt in them. They must come to know later or sooner that they are doing wrong. May that feelings comes so soon but still things are not that much good? We have to see the other side of picture as well. These gamblers actually know that they are doing wrong and they shouldn’t be doing this but greed makes them so blind that they can’t see anything.

Probably this feeling of shyness is only possible if you don't have confidence in yourself and possibly if its your first time having to gamble in such an environment which is only normal, once you become a regular this feeling fades away and everyone will mind there business.

Yeah! I also think the same because shying just because you are doing something for the first time doesn’t make the sense. If this is true tell me that If you will go to bigger restaurant to eat, you will start shying just because you have ever been to a place like that to eat before. The answer is ‘No’ because you have to go there and eat simply and there is nothing for which you have to shy for.

As a newbie, the shyness is very common to occur and it is happened at almost every activity not just in gambling places. Soon or later when we become familiar with the environment, the shyness will be gone by itself.

Or this is also a possibility that they may overcome this guilt feel with time. Definitely, second time is never like the first one as a person has already experienced the problems and come up with a solution to them. In reality, this is what happens most of the times. All the alarming feelings go away and a person gets used to new act. More than greed, it is there lazy nature and unwillingness to go for the long way that make them to gamble.

Can you highlight me some of the factors for which the gambler should feel shy about just because he is a newbie? I bet you can’t highlight any of them. I personally think that being a newbie in gambling doesn’t lead you to shyness; the thing which really leads you to shyness is the no self-confidence. Self-confidence is the only thing that can save you from shyness in gambling and nothing else.

Gambling is not at all an easy thing to do and that you need to polish yourself in so many ways to become a good gambler. You need to throw away all your fears which you have behind your mind and that you need to be all in while gambling as this is the only possible way you can make something good or can even expect to have something better while being there in the world of the gambling.

I think not just confidence that sometimes make us feel of shyness because if we are in the first time to play gambling, no matter in real casino or in gambling site, we are shy to admited that we are playing gambling to other people. and like you said, if we are playing gambling in every day, then the feeling of shyness will be gone.

This happens. We all may know some of gamblers who have successfully wasted their entire life in gambling. And here on this forum too, all those gamblers who were called as expert ones in their entire tenure of gambling, they are themselves advising everyone to go away from this gambling. Because they come to know later that this is weirdest form of wasting your money.

Yeah! It’s true that only those people shy in everything who have no confidence in themselves. They load things in their brains and never take any situation easy which completely makes them uncomfortable and they start shying. Regular gamblers have much more experience than the newbies that’s why they never feel shy in gambling and this thing makes them more confident.

I also had time to feel like this when I first entered the casino, and I was embarrassed and eventually I lost the gambling in large numbers.

What circumstances made you lost large numbers though? Usually if you are shy and embarrassed, you will just not put any bet. Anyways, 2 nights ago a went to a casino and it was my first time there, maybe I already have a experience player so I was able to play some slot machines.

However, I'm still a little shy as far as table games in concern. I have second thoughts of a baccarat table and end up just watching the game instead of making money. LOL. Anyways, its all good though, just maybe I felt this shyness again.

I used to go to the casino but never tried to play because I was initially embarrassed and secondly I did not know what I was going to play. And when you're in a new place most of which will become our feelings, be embarrassed or embarrassed especially when you're not used to playing at the casino and you feel intimidated with the people around you

I think That’s the limiting thing to a person doesn’t play any casino games. Probably there is a day that have experienced in their life that they would feel embarrassed and would be scared to do something knowing that they could mess up.

Yes, I do. Casino are always flocked by rich people like businessmen and I don't have that much money to be considered as one of them so it's normal to feel shy to play because you feel you don't belong on these kinds of people.

And it is biter to get affected by this shyness in gambling game so that a person wont hang around here for a long time because the longer a player stays here, the larger his loss is going to be. If someone really feel uneasy with the environment or nature of this game, he should make himself comfortable by not playing it at all. This is for his own safety and betterment. I believe, gambling is what we are obliged to avoid for whole life.

I believe there is nothing like a good gambler or a bad gambler, every gambler is a bad gambler and no doubt should be there in it anymore. Reason is, a person who knows very well that he is losing his money and he would be losing whenever he will play even after so many year of experience, and still he is not convinced to quit that game. Can we assume anything better from him?

We are on the same boat because i myself is also shy whenever i play gambling outside or in the casinos , not just because i am  not  wealthy as them but because i am born as a shy person. When i was still a kid i am always get shy whenever or whatever i do, i dont know why did that happen but my shyness is still on me even though i am not a kid anymore.

That is why i have quited gambling outside or on public , yet i am still playing gambling online inside on our own home because that makes me feel more confident and stress free. I am always thankful that online gambling are built and i guess their main purpose is to serve shy people like me.

It is good that one shy while gambling because by this way he may not become addict of gambling and thus he can spend happy and respectful life. I will think hundred times before entering in casino because of the fear of other people thoughts about myself and this is very difficult to close your eyes and think that there is nobody looking at me while sitting on a gambler table.

Instead of feeling bad for yourself, you should be happy that you cannot waste a lot of hard earned money in gambling. As a gambler, it is not possible that you don’t have any idea regarding true nature of this game. All it brings is pain. Losing small amount means small suffering. How about giving up on this game and spending time on something that can make you rich like these casino guys.

I've been to casino but I do not play , yeah I felt a little bit shy because I am not used to go and gamble.  Me and my friends were looking for what kind of game we gonna gamble but since I am not familiar with all the games and I am not comfortable at that time I  just watched them playing and after an hour we all go out.

Agree with you. Most of the people just complain about the money they lost in gambling. But in my opinion, the time lost in those activities is even more important. One realizes this with time when he really gets engaged in some real business or job and compares the returns for same amount of time spent.

New gamblers feel shyness in regular casinos when they visit for the first time and set on a gambling table. He thinks what other people will think about him that he is also a gambler and all this because gambling is not good and most people do not like gamblers as well. Gambling for the first time is very difficult and shyness is I think very natural.

When i came in casino for the first time? Yes. Im sure a lot of here experienced it that too. It makes me feel more deeper to think that i have this certain amount of money in me and all the people there have millions and shy enough to join them. Now im just sitting there playing, minding my own business.

Not everyone can be a millionaire in this world so we don't have to being shy for how much money we have,but the crypto gambling overcome these kind of problems we ca play anonymously even with few bucks and try our luck to be a millionaire. :D But playing among the real millionaires is an real excitement and if we win against them it will give some extreme pleasure. 8)

We mustn’t shy in the world where everyone is earning money from some respectable source and no one is ruining their lives for this purpose. But we must shy in bad aspect when someone is going to casino either it is online or traditional and think of earning money from there. This man should know the reality before he invest everything he had with him. We have to awake up.

If you get shy when gambling. Find you a great online casino in which you do not have to interact with anybody. And you can play anytime anywhere with Bitcoin

When you're playing with someone's money you need to feel shy about it. Gambling is a way to show yourself a risk taker, here you afford what you can loss. It can be of fun or for profiting, unless you make money without disturbance to the one next to you nothing to shy.

I think the shyness in gambling emanated from the stigma that is attached to gambling and so unimformed majority of people have already condemned gambling in their hearts so should they find a gambler they perceive him as wayward person without plans for a better life and so socially it will be a problem for many of us and that's why many often feel shy to be seen gambling especially in public places.

You are not shy to borrow someone's else money just to play, so I don't know how you are going to feel shy about it Lol. And I don't think that gambling is a way to show others that you are a risk taker away, I haven't seen gamblers playing just to show off may except for poker because its you against other players.

But going to a casino for the first time is different, you will feel a bit shy but if you get used to it, I'm sure that in just a matter of hours that shyness will be gone and you will enjoy yourself having touch a casino and you will be addicted to it, that's for sure.

If you ever cross some professional known Player then yes you will probabily end up being shy and all that.
But overall i dont think you should be, since you're all in the same "room" for the same purpose.
You will not be the only noob playing there ;)

Yes it is our money so we no need to care about anyone for what we like to do but in many ways the gambling is considered as not fair thing to do like based on religion and relatives ir family members.But for me if I like to do something I will do that with no shyness like being a gambler too.

Haven't tried visiting any casinos, but being shy due to you're new to any community is normal. And once you are already doing what you are supposed to do, little by little, you'll overcome that shyness.

Understandable if you are in real casino but if you are playing online. It is too much if you still have a shy feelings where in no one knows your real identity, name, face, gender, etc. Such a low confidence of yours if ever.

when we first come to the casino is like that, we will feel ashamed and awkward because we do not know what to do for the first time and afraid to make mistakes because dealing directly with others.
but if in online gambling we will be more comfortable because it will not be face to face and we can do whatever we like without feeling awkward.

Of course, because I'll feel intimadated right away with the rich people around who brags everything they have while I'm the poor one who is chasing the golden pot. They will laugh at me instantly when they found out. It's a serious matter for me while it's just a pure entertaintment for them.

I really don't know but ever since I started to make my first bet, entering a real casino is always been my dream. Of course I'm been in and out of a real casino but I did felt that shyness just like a regular customer in a new shop or something. But eventually you will overcome it once you can yourself familiarize with the environment and how everything is being played.

I used to feel the same way, I felt like Im not good in gambling on casinos that’s why I felt shy before but when I realized Im not the only one who feels the same on their first trial I then felt confident. So that’s why when I play now on casinos I feel confident even if I lose some.

Yeah! The first time i went to a casino I ended up not playing any games at all because i felt shy in doing so. My mind was feeling anxious and conscious. My greatest concern was Im not really sure how to operate the slot machine  :D i really don't know what i was doing back then.

Anyone that is trying to stay away from the stigma should know better before even attempting to gamble in the first place.

However, it is not like the person is going to be announcing to the whole world that he or she is a gambler, and the main thing here is that they are simply going to be in house for casinos, and if it has to do with online, they are just in front of their PC doing their thing, and for one fact, everyone in a casino did not actually come to do anything else than gamble, so except the person is just a naturally shy person, I do not see why it should be because of gambling.

I do not understand why playing with someone's money should make you feel shy and I do not understand where the aspect of playing with someone's money should even be something to refer to when it comes to gambling as that is a very grievous mistake. We keep saying no one should gamble with what they cannot afford to lose, so playing with someone's money is absolutely one thing they will get in trouble for. All these things still does not have anything to do with shyness unless it is just the person's nature to be shy generally when in the midst of strangers.

You are not alone, many of others feel that way visiting land based casinos. Same things which attract some people repulse others. That's why online gambling is booming, there are many of shy people in today's world.

But I think that land based casinos will never disappear, like movie theaters will never disappear although we can watch movies online, because some people enjoy the attractions which those places provide.

Many people dont gamble in public because of shyness.

True and due to which they play online sitting at their home and as per their convenience they can easily gamble and even if they keep losing no one will know. At the end they would only know how much debt they may be in or so. Also in public they would not like to be called gambler due to which they prefer privacy.

Here bitcoin gamblers are not going the Las Vegas and gambling infront of others. There are many people invested on gambling field but no show their shyness to while they invested on gambling sites mate. Please they check the profit and loss and investment they need to plan.
If they loose the fund they should avoid the emotion mate.

Are we talking about shyness INSIDE the casino or are we talking about shyness while betting? I have seen both cases in the answers. I mean shyness while gambling for real in a real casino is quite possible because there are people who would like to bet and gamble but introverts, but if you put those people in front of a pc and let them gamble you can solve the problem.

If we are talking about shyness while for example raising the stakes or something while playing online, than I don't know what to tell you. That might be characteristic and maybe you are not destined to gamble.

Honestly, I can't imagine an introvert going into a real life casino. It's almost like a vegan going hunting. :)

I think only with the advent of online gambling introverts have received the opportunity to be in the game. They are too shy to enter a land based casino. I'm not saying that shyness is a bad thing though, first of because I too can't enter a real casino because of that character feature. )

That's true and especially if that gambler doesn't have a big bankroll to gamble and he's afraid to be seen by people that he's losing easily.

There are also situations that someone wants to hide himself from his relatives and is avoiding to be known as a gambler, we know in some societies that gambling isn't welcomed.

I think it is not about being shy, I guess other peoplejust don't want to disappoint their loves one that is why they are hiding their hobby which is playing gambling. But there are so many reasons why they are hiding themselves to other people, and that is a mystery.

It's not about disappointing their love ones, they really don't want to show themselves to their love ones because it is unacceptable for them to see gambling.

Same with my love ones, they don't want me to gamble but I don't care with them. I don't gamble with their money.

That is why online gambling is much more popular nowadays,even many people who never gambled yet are wanting to get back into it but their real life may get disturbed because many people think that it is a bad thing to do.So people are getting involved into the online crypto gambling without any shyness.

I also preferring to play in online gambling rather than in real life because of shyness. It is embarassing for me to fpund out by others that I am a gambler so I have no choice but to play online since my identity is hidden. However, in terms of gameplay I more prefer a physical gambling because it's really have a 50:50 winning rate unlike online where it might be a script that could affect to your gameplay.

No way man online is way more fair than a really casino if you are playing against house. You can't trust anything in a casino there are several video's online which show roulette has a magnet underneath and cards are already arranged in a cheating manner

It's not only that thing that many are gambling because they don't wanted to be seen by someone close to them. Gambling online is also a matter of choice, you can gamble in physical casino's whenever you want but if you are feeling more safe and convenient at your home, you're glad that crypto gambling has been invented.

Shyness in gambling is good. Old gambler will never shy because they are addicted and they don’t know shyness. For new gamblers shyness is good because this may cause stop them from gambling regularly and not to play anymore. Shyness and careness are two factors that can prevent you from gambling. But the problem is this that online gambling has no shyness.

You'll feel shy if you lost a lot for quite a while and you have been seen by other gamblers, that's one type of feeling ashamed as a gambler.
This is an inevitable feeling by old and new gamblers.

You won't be shy if you are gambling online and alone in your home. You'll feel only shy on yourself when you are using others money for your sake.

I think old gambler can feel shyness too because they cannot always win the games but I think they don't show their shy to other people because they want still feel confident and they still sure that they can win in the other time. but for some people, they can feel shy if other people know that they are playing gambling and this is the reason that most of the people which doing gambling don't want to show their identity to other people. at least, they will play gambling by a secret.

No matter shyness in casino or shyness while betting, shyness is shyness and shy people cannot play openly on a table. They will have to hide themselves from relatives, neighbors and of course their family members. This is very sham full in our society that an elder of a family catch his younger during gambling. Shy people should never gamble traditional gambling.

i think shyness in gambling is when you're a first timer and really don't have the idea of that gambling game you are betting plus there are many people in a group and you think they watch you as you bet.

Such shyness can be considered as nervous that we usually get on the new things that we do/meet. As soon as we can blend in with the community, such feeling will gradually disappear by itself. That happened to me on most occasions.

That’s why online gambling got popularity due to these shy people. Online gambling provide them an opportunity to gamble from their bedroom so that nobody will look at them and they can play freely, but the worst thing is that they will become gambling addictors and then quitting gambling would be difficult for them. Therefore I would suggest that such people should not play online gambling.

Some people are shy because they just wanted to hide from everyone they know, they don't want to disappoint others because everyone might think they are a good individual or a good example. A certain invidual might be shy about himself when he is playing gambling because he might have a huge debt and can't pay it.

I am somehow like that that's why I started this thread. Sometimes when I see someone I know in a public place, maybe a marketplace, malls, casino, etc, I tend to not see them unless they call me. I'm okay but it's just that I want to avoid unnecessary talks that we could have when we continue talking to each other, that is of course exempted if you really know the person well.

It is definitely a factor that you wouldn't interact with anybody when you play online, just through chatting. Online gambling is a win for the shy people. The easier the access the harder to make yourself stop from it. I think that happens.

It is good that due to shyness some people cannot play in public. Nevertheless gambling is not an outdoor game that could be played in public. New gambler always tries to seek a hide place for gambling. He even visit casino far from his place so that none of his neighbor or family member come there and caught him red handed. It is good because such people can leave gambling easily without any struggle.

Yeah you are right. Mostly first timers think the same way. They feel shy when they play for the first time because of the new place, new people and new experience and mostly because gambling is portrayed negatively. I think it is good because by shyness many new gamblers will quit gambling after first visit to a casino, but online gambling will catch them without any shyness.

Shyness in gambling will always harm you in a different way because if people come to know that whether you are a gambler than it will hurt you much. Not only if you lose money through gambling it might affect your family in a different way, while gambling you have to be very careful.

Gambling should only have an affect on your family of you lose it shouldn't affect anyone else or you. There's nothing wrong in gambling if someone wants he can gamble as it is his own funds and it will be your loss itself. The society is no one to judge you as long as it's your own funds

I don't think shyness will make them stop from playing. If you are in physical casino and you are new, of course it's normal to feel shy but that won't stop them. They will overcome that shyness as time pass by because of addiction.

There is always that factor especially when you are new from the place. If you want to see the outcome of your bets and be aware of what you are doing, shyness could be the cause of it. If you play games and you feel that you might make a bad move, you would be conscious of what others see in you and it would be the cause of you stopping gambling.

Well, I think those gamblers are just the first timers since I don't think that a gambler will be shy to what they are doing since they only goal is to get back their lost money and win. I would suggest that they gamble online since no one will ever know their identity and how much money they are losing to gambling still my best suggestion is to not gamble at all.

These houses have only one strategy, they attract people with amazing and attractive ads and offers and when one is indulged in this destructive game, he can’t just find a path to get out because his mind is just become a dumb now. He only thinks of this money thing and his greed is activated. So all these and many other factors trigger out a person how don’t care about himself anymore.

I do love those ones with Deposit here and win half, but they hide that you will need to recover both in order for withdrawing your winnings.
That's the down side of the unknown.

When they consider this game such shameful that they can’t just play it before those who knew them already, then why to go in there. What is the need to make your money wasted on the thing that is shameful to you? Respect is all what a human being have and what if you’re this self-respect is on stake then why to play such disgraceful game. Don’t get near it dudes.

I don't think gambling goes with shyness. Gamblers aren't shy if anything they're confident and stubborn. In anyway, being shy would only cause you to lose in my opinion.

i dont think there are gamblers are shy maybe those people cant afford to lose anymore that's why they look like they're shy i dont know i might be wrong. maybe your just nervous because you might lose alot of money.

gambling can make us become shyness especially if we are playing gambling in the real casino because we know that one or more people which always playing gambling. we can feel shyness because we don't play gambling in the real casino and suddenly when we play on that casino, we meet that people which are not expecting us to play gambling. at that moment, we can feel shyness and we only want to leave the gambling places as soon as we can and we don't have to answer their question of why we play gambling too like them.

It may be shyness but is considering nervousness when you enter into gambling world for the first time especially in casinos or any other well crowded game during which you feel nervous. But these feelings change into strength and experience later after dealing with many games which make you able to win any game easily. Some people are experts and they enter into gambling after gaining experience so they do not hesitate and do not feel nervous.

Shy people always lose their money because they don’t know how to play and will never concentrate on their game because of shyness. Some older gamblers took their friends to casino for gambling and entertainment. When a new guy gambles for the first time he feels nervous and that let them to lose the bet. Shyness is not good in gambling at all, better not to play.

If a person is addicted to gambling they why will he shy to play gambling? I think that only new comers will feel shyness while playing gambling tell they become familiar and addicted to gambling. I myself felt shy when for the first time in enter a casino but never after that. 

I do not think you will have this feeling when you play online, so perhaps thats something you should try next time you feel lucky.
But be careful and never play more than you can afford to loose. gambling can be highly addicted

Shyness in casino for the first time is only because you don't really know anyone around you and it's a common human nature which applies everywhere, but as you mentioned one you start visiting regularly people around there will start recognising you

This is just useless. If you shy this would let you lose your game. Oh come one brother, I am really amazed rather astonished to see what you have been up to. You can just make good decision and good thinking for better future. You can see the things that are making loss for you but see your opinion. Either you shy or not, you are directly going to lose everything that you have.

Playing online and never talking about our habits to others though with our closest friends can help us to avoid being embarrassed caused by gambling activities.

I am really astonished to see comments of different people here supporting and contributing in discussion for being positive in gambling. Some are ultra legends that they are trying to convince others for being addict in gambling? And some are literally advising with stupid and lame logic to become a gambler here. Brothers what really had happened to your minds?

To me I think that people may only shy when they are very new in gambling world or those people who are playing gambling in a strange place, otherwise I do not think that there can be any other reason which make people to shy while playing gambling. It is true that there is big different between shyness and nervousness.

Shy people cannot concentrate on gambling and therefore they have more chances to lose money while playing gambling. They should try to avoid such activities and play gambling on such gambling games where they think that they have good hold and experience. I think that there they will not feel much shy while playing gambling.

on average it is indeed a person who is the first time to play gambling who feels such shame, because there is no previous experience so there is nervousness when playing.
after getting used to playing gambling, of course nervousness will disappear by itself

I really do wonder and why would anyone want to borrow someone else's money all in the name of wanting to use it to gamble in the first place, lol ? That is a terrible move to make and that can be so disastrous for such a person. The idea of being shy anyway is normal based on someone's normal behavior to strange people around them.

For instance, I am an introvert, and it takes a lot of time to get to blend with people and get to know them before bringing out my playful side, so being shy at first is normal, but it is a general thing and not just only in gambling.

I'm also an introvert and I still go to casino even if I like gambling more in online casinos. Not only the first time I goes into a casino is the shyness part, I also feel shy when there's a crowd of people playing and watching.

I feel you man, i'm also an introvert and i always avoid a crowd of people. I never go to a real casino before, maybe in the first i will feel shy but if i regularly go to the real casino, i'm sure i will not shy again, including you too.

I even felt the same way just like you. I'm an introvert person, I don't want others to know that I used to gamble especially if I really know me, so I am glad that there is online gambling where I could play without noticing by the people I know. Through online gambling I can now play gambling without fear of revealing my identity.

Almost everyone does have that feeling of not sharing our thoughts and practice with gambling.

Crypto did really a great job and its development through the gambling industry has grown through the entire years. We can gamble without anyone knowing it.

This shame doesn’t come due to first time in gambling or something related, no. rather they are feeling bad and shamefulbecause they are going in casino and trying to earn from a fake source. Their minds are covered with greed factor and they don’t let anybody make them understand the losses attached to it his harmful game. So better is to not be shy before someone.

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand your point. fake source? Casino's are paying real money, how can you call it a fake source. Perhaps you haven't seen any casino's yet. That's human instinct, if its your first time then its ok to be shy. But once you know your way around a casino, how to bet, what machines you wanna play all those shyness will be gone in an instant.

It is hard to imagine how one can be shy in an online casino, and yet this happens, especially when you play against real people, like in a poker tournament, for example. The thing is that if you gamble long enough, your nickname becomes known to the audience as well as some of their names are known to you. So, when you sit at a poker table, you don't feel anonymous completely, maybe only partially to some new players, but others surely know you, and you know them, you say "hi" to each other, "nice hand", "good game" and all that stuff. ... Of course there are different mindsets. Some people can be shy with people they know while others feel shy with strangers, so that depends on the person in general.

What I think about a person borrowing money in order to have another gambling bet is addiction or an effort to bring back the gone amount. Losing money is painful so people try to have that back. Indeed, it is not the right thing to do and nor much can be expected from such action. Having shyness in one’s nature is not a taboo and it does no harm to anyone.

YES! This was me when I gambled for the first time, it's not a casino, though it is a large group of gamblers and with everything around, I was super shy back then, since I am very innocent with gambling, I was shy that the gamblers would make fun of me, they might fool me, take my money and etc. But it was hilariously one of the best days for me in gambling, I won games, made decent profit out of the money I spent, then after the next day I continued playing until I learned well on how to gamble.

I think a lot of people get intimidated playing against other humans.  They feel safer gambling with slot machines or dice because they are going against computers.  Facing off vs humans can be filled with very intense emotions which are hard to shake.

Very very true and maybe not only in connection to gambling, but with other human relations too. Recently I have learnt that kids in school can be very mean to each other online in social media, while the facade they maintain in real world is that of complete normality. My understanding is very similar to yours: that is much easier to be mean online, because you are sitting in front of the computer and do not have to confront other humans and their emotions and on top of that your emotions either.

Most of the time people wants to play against someone as it is adding some excitement and fun, knowing that you needed to useeverything that you know about the game in order to win, but in many cases first timers really got the feeling of being shy knowing that the first experience might not be good for them, or maybe they are playing against experience ones, who can read their body language and use it to take advantage, it's always a first time and a combinations of shyness and excitement are there.

First of all, I am not a big fan of gambling at all and my honest suggestion to all gamblers is to stop wasting time and money here. Secondly, gambling with paper money was more than enough and now doing the same with bitcoin or any other crypto currency is even more ridiculous. These assets can bring back huge profits with time.

But isn't that much more fun when you play against real people? I mean, I don't even think about going to a land based casino, where you can play with real real people because probably I'm too shy for that, but in online gambling you can find games which are in the nature of a compromise between a land based casino games and games where you play entirely against a machine. I even think that for excessively asocial individuals playing with live dealers and with real people, with whom you can talk in chat during a game, might be a good step toward their socialization.

Actually you are right but all in all, you see and observe other people in the poker table in a traditional casino, it is not like a nickname.

This can be think of another way. People who feel shy playing gambling in front of other people, may not want to show and expose themselves that they play gambling. They want of keep it hidden and due to this reason we see lots of online casinos where you do not need to go physically to play.
And Bitcoin has further helped the cause as now one can gamble with complete security without fear of getting exposed by using credit card transactions.

Well if you are known and you do some shitty bets you might become shy just for the betting downside.

If it's really your first time in casino, you'll be shy of course and it's normal especially if you don't have atleast one along with you. But if it's online casino, there's nothing to be shy of. Other players can't see your face, what you're doing, what you're feeling and what you look like. And i count that the best shyness is being begger!

Real people cannot be trusted at all times, there were situations that they betray us through cheating the gambling games. Land based casino was preprogrammed and has monitoring cctv, at first they'll attract you with rewards and lucky bets. But in the next successive days to come your bets won't work out, because you've already spotted out and recorded to the monitor of the casino's establishment. Unlike with online gambling, you can do your will as you wanted to eventhough you're shyness doesn't matter as long as you're knowledgeable with the games online.

My request to all gamblers is same. Please stop this game and end your destruction period. Why are you so brave to go in hell in this way? Don’t you think what your families will be doing without you. People have destructed themselves once they get into this game. Like you, if there are more people understanding about cons of this gambling, we might be living a good era.

I think they are just kidding around. Online, I also talk like that to my friends but we know well that we're just fooling around and we're doing the same thing to each other. But that doesn't mean that we're actually mean to each other. Anonymity gives us power and shy people can also have their time online since no one can see them. You even see shy people being famous online because they get to interact with people without having to show up, without having judged. It's all just in text form. Thus, shy gamblers can just be powerful when gambling online.
I'm not entirely sure if that CCTV monitoring thing of each person is an actual thing. It's just so much work if someone's going to remember everybody's faces and then rig whichever table they go to and not rig the ones where newbies are playing. It's so much work that I don't believe it entirely but for the discussion, let's suppose it is. Doesn't it make perfect sense to just go to different casinos instead so you're always going to be a newbie? After gambling in a casino and noticing that it's become hard for you to win there, just gamble on a different casino and then voila! easy winning bets again. Rinse and repeat.

But then again, I don't really believe that you easily win at first and then it becomes harder because they are rigging your table.

I don't like to gamble with paper money because I want to save my money for another thing. and I think we can gamble in the crypto gambling site because, in that site, we can use the faucet to play gamble without deposit our coins to playing gambling. I am not too often playing gambling but I don't think that it wasting time because so far when I playing gambling, I don't use all of my time to stay in the gambling site because I know that this will makes me to lost more money.

I don't what is the reason for someone to be shy when he is playing gambling online, even though it is not online and it is land based casino then what is the point of being shy? you do have your own money, you are the one who earned it and basically you do have the rights to use it on wherever you wanted to use it, if you are being shy because other people that you know might see you, then just don't gamble if you can't stand the judgment of other people.

At first, it might seem strange why we should be ashamed of our gambling habits. But once we understand what can happen if we continue this habit, then we might know the reason. After someone enjoys playing gambling, soon or later he can do other things that can imperil others, especially those closest to him. Selling valuables belonging to the family is the most common thing gamblers do to satisfy the ambition to gamble.

I avoid visiting land based casinos but not for the reasons you've mentioned. I think the whole thing with "preprogrammed" outcomes is more suitable for a fiction movie than for real life. Do you think it's really possible to spot a gambler with cctv and then remotely rig every slot, every poker table, every ... what? ... every dealer?, so that if gambler is a newbie than he/she should win, and if they are here not for the first time, then he/she should lose? Although this idea could make for a good movie, it's definitely not the case in real life.

Some people, including me, avoid visiting land based casinos because of shyness to interact with strangers, in the first place. But, yeah, overall I agree that it is more likely to be cheated there than in online gambling, so, maybe our shyness is a good thing in this case.

In a regular casino, yes I do felt shy the first time I try to gamble. But in an online casino where everyone is anonymous, I don't feel like it and also it's not hard to bet using cryptocurrency.

Why do you feel shy? I think that is common because it’s what other people said here. It’s somewhat because of the fear of humiliation or not knowing anything about what you are doing. Being online makes it better.

Well, that is right. However, I still do not see any reason why anyone should be shy when it comes to gambling. Yes, depending on the nature of some people when it comes to interacting generally, they may want to tend towards the shy side and that is most applicable to introverts mostly, but like you said, since there are lots of online gambling sites these days, it makes better sense to just make use of them rather than having to interact with anyone.

In the world of online gambling, there will be nothing like shyness. I you recall about your poor performances and get fell shy on that. Other than that, there could be zero chances for shyness while gambling online in our home and gambling anonymously in gambling world and secretly against our parents and sibling.

I see in the world of gambling now the money is just the everything. With having the chance to win a lot of money definitely makes sense that there is no room for shyness in all of that. I think there is no reason to be shy with the family as long as you’re not addicted and you are not hiding from anyone.

I am quite happy to see you talking this way. Actually this is better for you to know what actually happens in there. People are often not interested to know about this harmful activity. Some might know about it already but somehow they become blind and deaf to see and hear about its reality. Now, as you are well aware of the circumstances, better to get away from all such stuff.

For these kind of people there exist the online gambling and online gambling industry is far more powerful than offline casinos. Take sport betting casinos like bwin and bet365, they offer a perfect experience wherever you are and you don't need to go to the casino, the casino is in your hand. Same as for bitcoin casinos which are doing the same.

I would not feel comfortable going to offline casino and be limited in choice to what I play. There are only certain slots there compared to online casinos which there are a lot more choices.

If someone comes to me and tells that I am being watched by the owners or authorities of a casino while I am playing some game in that casino, I won’t doubt his words. There are cameras in such places. Actually now we have CCTVs everywhere, in streets, malls, restaurants etc. if home decides output of our games, indeed they are watching us.

Well, I'm also a shy type either and I usually feel pressure when playing offline casino even when I have no reason to be which is why I prefer the sport betting and slot machine game. However, the online casino game is more convince than offline because it give more confidence and dedication and dont give the shyness effect which the offline give.

Shyness in gambling cant helo you have to be brave and to do it with pursueing your self to win un every game.You cant get your target if you are shy,shame cant help you in gambling it can make you down or loser.

This is absolutely not true. Gambling is not a boxing match where your braveness can help you win. It is absolutely irrelevant for the outcome of the game whether you feel confident or not, because the state of your mind has no effect on the server seed in provably fair online gambling, neither it affects slots, cards or whatever in land based casinos. I even think that the so-called courage is a bad thing in gambling because sometimes it prevents you to stop when it's time to do so.

Shyness is a natural thing from human nature, but only a few people are excessive in expressing it to the public in action, the feeling of shame must be avoided especially if you do poker game, you know that many players might be able to read your mind easily what cards do you have if you are shy

I have felt that before, you are pressured to gamble with any game though you don't have to. It's probably the ambiance of the casino that you are with by that time.

Shy types are for online gambling.

Nope. I never feel shy in gambling because i am always feel excited to play in gambling. Being shy is always a bad attitude because you don't have any guts to stand up all by your own if you are always shy in many things.

I think calling gambling or casinos as a fake source of income is correct. Generally speaking, Gamblers have a mindset that they can earn big amounts of money from this game which indeed is just an illusion. That is why, gambling is a fake source. Moreover, if someone does not feel fine while playing this game, he should stop wasting any more time here.
We must quit gambling if we feel shy while gambling or due to the consequences of gambling. Because, people are unable to quit gambling due to no reason for them to quit. Instead of overcoming shyness while gambling, it would be much better to quit due to shyness.

Shyness come when they see or meet some of the known people to them who according to them is not gambling but hey see them in the gambling casino. This is where people get fixed or may be when they lose money and realize how bad their decision was .

Don't you think that it's more shameful, stupid even, to say that you are shy when you're meeting the people you know, but then you can be found in a casino? You are shy to talk to the people you know, let alone strangers, but you are out there gambling like an extrovert.

Shyness can be overcome by reading self-help books and by practicing it through socializing with other people. How do you fix your shyness by just clicking a button in front of your computer? You can't. How do you fix your shyness by sitting in front of table surrounded by strangers? You don't. I think it's just one of the ways people are justifying their gambling problems. "Oh I'm gambling so I can be more outgoing." You can easily send a friend a text message on a weekend and ask them out for breakfast. If you had the time, you can easily meetup three friends in one day. One for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner.

But before you try to overcome shyness by socializing, it's crucial that you learn more about yourself and what makes you feel shy. Is it because of a scar on your face, a pimple, or simply low self-esteem? Reading is a must as well as practice.

I, myself, used to be so shy as a little kid. Growing up, I've always been so shy as well. But my last year on highschool, I grouped to the people that are always outgoing. They always go outing together. They go to the beach, eat out, etc. What I did was I purposely placed myself near those people. As time went by, I became a part of the group. I was still shy at first, but after going out multiple times, I overcome it. I got into college, placed myself near the people who seemed confident which I based on how they present a PowerPoint presentation. And just like that, I got confident as well. Was gambling involved at all? Nope.

Yes i do feel shyness because I am thinking or I am affected what other people might think of me or might say against me. When we say "Gambler", we cannot prevent some other people to think negative about us or about our personality and I do not want that I have a bad image.

I doubt that not knowing part.

Everyone is aware of gambling and if he isn't aware of what he does, he won't gamble in the first place. But the most common reason is they are shy of being known by their relatives as a gambler. Gambling has a bad image in the industry so if they knew it that one of their relative is gambling, they feel like he has a contagious disease.

Being brave or being shy does not stop you from facing the same outcome eventually anyway, so I do not see how that relates to the whole idea of being shy in gambling.

This has to do with each person's personality and it is normal for an introvert to feel shy among a lot of people which would always be present in casinos and some even believe they make terrible decisions in such scenarios. As long as you are gambling, only luck can make you win and not your personality. Bravery like you said, can even put you into much problem.

Sport betting is even a better way to go when it comes to using your sport analytical skills in making money and one thing you will never see from real gambling. Also, you can always achieve this from the comfort of your own home without any stress at all.

Offline on the other hand, makes you sometimes to even get over your head, most especially when it comes to curtailing the risk. For someone who is shy and does not like attention much, it is normal to feel shy when in a casino gambling.

I would not consider myself to be shy, but I prefer playing on my own and online.  It could be because the closest live casino to me is a bit of a drive.  I do enjoy poker home games.  Find your own niche and enjoy your gambling!  Its supposed to be a pleasure, not to make a living from.

That is right, try to enjoy your gambling activities and not always focus on earning great money since it will not ensure any good amount of money for you, that will still depend on your luck. I don't look at gambling as a source of income but as a leisure, an activity that I can do whenever I have a free time. I also hope that I can win huge money but I don't think I would be able to do that since I am just using a free faucet Satoshis.

First of, having a contagious disease is not a shame, anything can happen to anyone. Secondly, gambling addiction, or "compulsive gambling" as they call it, is an illness which should be treated accordingly, and relatives of an addicted gambler should try to find a good doctors for him/her rather than to be ashamed of.

I think by "not knowing" crwth meant the dangerous phase of the gambling addiction when gambler really doesn't know why he's gambling, acting like a zombie.

What's funny is that gambling isn't even contagious. A contagious disease is something that can be transmitted to another human by contact. I've never heard of a story where someone accidentally touched a gambler or drank in the same glass as the gambler and suddenly he became addicted to gambling. Initially, we all had a choice in addiction. You can live in a family where everyone does marijuana but you can be that someone who thought it was wrong and so never tried it.

After watching documentaries about addicts, drugs, gamblers, alcohol, and food addicts, it opened my eye. Those people are simply hurt. They are using their addiction as a way to momentarily escape life. But it's gotten to the point that what they had to cope to was so huge that they had to rely on these vices in order to carry on with life. Girls flirt with men and then leave them just so they can feel better about themselves. Men crash their wive's skulls just because they had a bad day at work. Now, why are we ashamed of the addicts, those who chose to harm no one but themselves?

In order to help someone, you have to understand them. That's why I never really judge people. There's always an explanation as to why they are like that. An addict is more than addict. They are humans who are hurting inside, just like us. They just have a different way of coping with it. Something not socially acceptable unfortunately, that is.

Very nicely put! I just want to add that to understand someone you should have the same experience. That's why the best therapists for drug addicts are former drug addicts. And the best therapists for people who have a post-war syndrome or any post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are those who had been in similar situations in the past. As far as we are gamblers, and as far as some of us were addicted at some point, we can help the current addicts to overcome the addiction. I was addicted more than 2 years ago and it lasted not more than 3 weeks, but still I remember the condition and I remember how to withdraw yourself from it.

Just imagine if doctors were ashamed of sick people instead of helping them. That's not how it should be.

My experience of gambling for the first time I did not feel embarrassed, because before I started to gamble I saw and sought experience first so that I did not feel ashamed of what you said, so use self-confidence because it was very good to be at the table and it would beat nervousness and shame

some people can do like what you did and the other feels shy in gambling places and for the first time, they only watching the games without join in one table. but I agree that we can use self-confidence to prevent shyness in gambling so we can try to play the game like other people. this is what happens if we are playing gambling in the casino because we are meet many people which we don't know.

It's good to think that those who have PTSD and those who were once an addict are those that are helping those needs help. It's nice to think that the people in the medical field are the ones who once needed the help, was helped by someone, and now they are devoting their lives to helping other people.

Those who have been in a similar situation in the past as the patient, they are the ones who can truly empathize. It's also more believable to them. To the patient, it's like finding a person who's in the same specie as him. And he can think to himself, "if he was able to survive that, and so can I."

Sadly there are those who work in the medical field that are there for the money. Some are there because they are a family of doctors and he was basically forced to follow his parents' steps.

But why does shyness have to be addressed by meeting people in a gambling casino? There are tons of ways to overcome it and if you overcome shyness in a casino, then perhaps you're putting yourself in a box. You might end up being not shy in a casino but very shy in a different social situation. This might raise a question to yourself, "Have I really overcome shyness or have I just become confident inside the casino as I'm now familiar with the people?"

There are things you can do like challenging yourself to talk to 3 strangers a day or maybe get yourself one friend at a time.

Can't disagree on that. Some gamblers tend to love and find their comfort that way, they aren't shy but they have their own playstyle. I'm also enjoy gambling at home and there's no pressure from peers or the crowd that watches you while you gamble.

There's no need to be shy of if you are a gambler but if you are doing such things that are causing others a ruckus because of your addiction, then you have to be shy of it. A challenge comes to the gambler when he feels shy and that makes him stop to gamble in a casino.

Technology's helping the shy gamblers as well.  :)

Smart move mate! Smart move!! If a lot of people can think this way, I am sure we would be able to have more of sane gamblers than insane gamblers as time goes on. What a lot of people are looking forward to from gambling these days is to be able to make substantial income from it, which is something that is never going to be possible.

However, for those who see it as just a way to while away time and have some little fun, it should not be a problem, and I really do not see any reason why anyone should be shy when it comes to gambling.

For those who enjoy the activities, they always tend to be able to control themselves better than those who are simply so focused about what they should be making as a huge win at the end of the day.

Some due to their personalities though may be a bit shy when associating with crowd which is something you would see in a casino and cannot hide from, but all in all, I really do not see reasons why someone should be shy as a result of fear of humiliation like some people mentioned.
