Shyness in gambling

[crwth]

~snip
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

[Shutup]

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?

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.

[iMark]

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.

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.

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.

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.  

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

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.
