Shyness in gambling

[STT]

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

[iMark]

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.

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.

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.

[ethereumhunter]

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.

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.

[gowobonyok]

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.
