Shyness in gambling

[joebrook]

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

[rodel caling]

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.

[Happiest]

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

[13abyknight]

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!  
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.

[eann014]

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.

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.

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.  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.

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

Online gambling no way you gonna be shy
