Shyness in gambling

[dupee419]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Forever_F7]

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.

Real people cannot be trusted at all times, there were situations that they betray us through cheating the gambling games.

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.

[Ranly123]

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?

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.
