Do not make curiosity to people around you while you are playing gambling.

[worldofcoins]

I’m a shy type person and I don’t want to gamble with anyone not unless I’m with my friends going into casinos but if its my family, I wont play around them. We should understand the effect of this one to anyone who’ll see our gambling activities especially on the underaged, if you gamble irresponsibly then you might influence them badly, so I choose to gamble alone at home, by this I can enjoy my own time.

There are some people that learn fast without much observation especially to adolescents that are just coming up which I think restrictions must be exercise to ensure that they do not fall into the wrong hands. Although with the level of internet of exposures, it would be very hard to restrict family, friends from going for what they want. Gambling is everywhere when we'll cam always get to it at our door step.

Well, exactly it isn't easy to restrict family members from it by restricting the internet. It will only create problems in other ways.
Like not much can be done in this world without the internet now so just because you want to avoid someone from gambling online you'll ban their access to the internet?? Doesn't seem to be a nice move IMO.

No, I would love to see people learn how to gamble, I mean, I love gambling so there's no reason I would hide what I'm doing. I believe they will eventually learn, so while they are still young, it's nice if we could educate them on the real purpose of gambling, the chances of winning, and most especially the "RISK" that we tend to ignore.

what is the real purpose of gambling, in your opinion? curious here

you are right on that, education is the way and one can learn a lot with gambling, from being aware of their emotions, to managing bankroll and calculating risk and reward possibility

To me i don't want to interfere anyone nor i want anyone to interfere in my life.

If you are playing gambling or doing anything and if people start watching you , then you may lose confidence. So i don't like anyone to take notice of my actions.

it's a good exercise on how we value external opinions and thoughts in relation to internal ones
in the end, which makes a bigger impact on your world and personal life? your thoughts or ideas or the other people ones?

a nice thing to keep in mind but sometimes easier said than done

Doesnt need to block the internet but rather you could actually block the website only but since family members does have the access on net then its always plausible to see other gambling sites which it is somewhat

pointless since you would need to block it every single time that you do discover the sites they are accessing into but the question is, how you would able to know?

This is why it would really be a hard task if you are really serious on blocking everything that do attach on gambling.

This is a famous effect and it applies not only to the sphere of gambling but also to trading and other risky things. People talk about their successes with great pleasure and keep silent about their failures, so from the outside it seems that there is easy money here and this lures new participants. But objectively speaking, the fault of those who believe in the stories of strangers is the main reason - you need to do your own research before doing something risky.

Normal to the people to share their experiences to other gambling serve as a warning, opinion, and suggestion to the new comers, some of them just flexing their wins and profit and some of them just keep silently regarding their too much losses.

Yes, it is normal. But those who are new to such spheres should understand the differences between how these spheres look from the outside (thanks to such effects) and what they really are. Many traders, gamblers, betters, etc. they come up with some strategies without understanding the realities and then when they start playing for money they completely lose. This is often due to such effects.

A very hard task but with patience and if you really wanted to deal with it still possible, but like what you have said, it's not every time you know the internet activities of each person inside your house.

There are many ways, as there are many tunnels or vpn's that people around you may manage to use to access their favorite sites without you knowing their activities.

Blocking the internet is the only desperate move for you to avoid gambling related activities inside your residence..

Its just a selfish move and wont really be that a good solution.If you would block the internet or dsl wifi then they could just simply make use of data connection which you cant really stop them on accessing the net.

If they are really into gambling or some secret engagement into something then it cant be stopped unless if they are fully aware with the risk specially with gambling addiction.
It all matters with self awareness and acceptance and showing off some concern that they should avoid it no matter what the cost.

[Desmong]

Yes, there really is such a problem!  This is a feature of human psychology. 

Human memory captures positive memories better than negative ones.  Plus, people don't want to look like losers.  For primates, the opinion of other members of the community is very valuable.  Primates (including Homo sapiens) are social animals. 

Therefore, people tend to exaggerate their achievements.  Therefore, it is highly likely that they will happily tell fictional stories about their gambling winnings. 

And gullible listeners will have an inadequate idea of ​​the probabilities of winning at dice or roulette.

Since fallacy are everywhere and there is high means of claiming of winning what might not have being won. Some gamblers are still intrigued by what they hear and not see which had gotten many persons in losing huge funds because of being gullible. I don't use to listen to what people say most about there achievement in gambling maybe if I see proof.

[Saisher]

You can play gambling, especially if you play online gambling but we never know if what we did in gambling can attract people beside us to follow us playing gambling without knowing. Always look around you before you spend your free time playing gambling and not making others curious about what you did.

So how are you playing gambling? Did you play alone in your rooms or in your home or in the public area or do you have a special room just to spend your time to playing gambling?

If you have a child who is also a gamer they will think that you are playing a game on a gambling site because the dashboard is quite similar, the best idea is to play in your own room alone and do not let your child play on your computer or cellphone, let him have his own phone or pc but monitor his activity, or better restrict gambling sites.

yes, much better to talk and seek professional help of a psychologist for the person who's dependent on gambling then trying to control their internet access
as you said there are VPNs and ways to block websites but this is not the best way to go, unless its something really urgent

in the end everybody deserves they private spaces too

Some people can achieve their dream to be the top of the gamblers but unfortunately, those people do not want to show off in front of other people because they feel that can attract the other gambler curious to test their skill. But a losing gambler does not tell how much money they already lost in gambling, but they will come back in the other days. Maybe someday, we will see a gambler winning big money from gambling so we can believe that the winner is real.

[shield132]

Some gamblers are really telling their winning moments to others, whereas, they wanted to forget their losing streaks. So some people will have the notion of good fortune because of what they are seeing. However, they failed to see those losing moments, which is very important to see. And later on, they will find out, it is not all roses when they gamble. Every player should not deceive others, as this will give a lot of trouble to these people if their gambling habits are not managed properly.

This is a famous effect and it applies not only to the sphere of gambling but also to trading and other risky things. People talk about their successes with great pleasure and keep silent about their failures, so from the outside it seems that there is easy money here and this lures new participants. But objectively speaking, the fault of those who believe in the stories of strangers is the main reason - you need to do your own research before doing something risky.

That happens frequently in gambling. I know a person who was always losing a lot of money, lying at house that employeer wasn't paying him money and once in a while he was winning some bucks, was happily announcing that moment. When relatives were asking why he was gambling, his answer was that he doesn't even gamble at all and he won during free spins, free bets, otherwise he was claiming that he was "clean".

The problem is that people want to hide their bad habits instead of telling them and getting help. That's maybe because we immediately punish each-other for bad actions instead of more communication and more empathy.

[Silberman]

Personally I don't take gambler as a good thing for individual or for the family. If someone do gamble they actually know the risk of it. And they should not invite or inspire the relatives or friend. They should keep silent that they are doing gamble and if the addiction reached the high level they should take off it. About gambling the more curiosity will rise the more chance to get addictive in gamble. For why I think gamble should be taken as fun and don't enter in it if you did not yet.

The issue is that this is something that is going to be incredibly difficult to avoid, I mean a person that enjoys gambling is probably going to practice it even at their home and their family members are going to know that they are gambling and when they see the fun that he is having there is a chance that they are going to want to know why this is so fun and they will be curious to try it by themselves, and while there is nothing wrong with gambling it could lead some people to gamble that are not really prepared to deal with it.

That curiosity will bring those people in, the thing that will be possible to start the problem.

There are people who easily are influenced by good stories about the outcomes, this kind of peps are the ones who
endangering themselves in believing that they can also generate the same outcome.

Not knowing the high risk of gambling, sooner or later you'll find out that they are heavily engaged and losing too much.

Curiosity is one of our greatest strengths but it is also one of the main reasons why many people fall into life-changing mistakes, gambling responsibly is easy but we have to be honest there are people that cannot handle it and they could become addicted, and since we do not know which is which it is important to not try to influence people to gamble and let them come to that decision on their own, and if someone that we know wants to gamble then we should let them know about our experiences so they do not make the same mistakes we have made.

I kind of agree with you. For sure there must be a better way to spend those money than in casinos. There must also be a better way to spend one's leisure or free time than gambling or wasting money. But you cannot generalize all gamblers this way. You have to differentiate a gambler who has maintained a decent life, a happy family, a good job, etc from someone who ends up pawning and selling all properties, left by family, fired from a job, etc because of uncontrolled gambling.  

Dude, the only gambler that has maintained a good life is none other than those who were born from a rich family and I don't think that not everyone can be that kind of people. Plus, it's rare to see a gambler that has maintained a good relation with their families.

Excess of everything is bad and same holds true for gambling also. Some people are so addictive to it that they do it like a profession (leave everything for gambling). I have seen many stories of how rich guys lost everything they had to gambling. Gambling is fine if you do it occasionally but worst if you are addicted to it. You wont see any gambling addict in profit but in loss.

Some gamblers are really telling their winning moments to others, whereas, they wanted to forget their losing streaks.

I guess most of that is doing that, we tend to forget our losses and we celebrate a lot on our winnings, typical gamblers, right?
My friends are actually addicted to cock fighting and though they win most of the time, they were still not able to save money because every time they win, they spend the money for liquor to celebrate the win, they don't treat gambling as a business, so they'll never be profitable.

Gambling can't be, by any measure, a business. unless you are willing to run your own casino.

What's important in gambling is we enjoy what we are doing, and we have to be at the right age to make a mature decision.
So minors should say away and we should not influence them.

Until making this mature decision, a strong parental guidance should take place. Unfortunetly, and according to many reserchers that many addictive people to gambling are teenagers. Like all of us, we first hear about gambling from friends or family and enjoy with them the first winning, and this what made us consider gambling as a normal activity just like seeing someone addictive to cigarettes. Despite all the issues that come with, sharing gambling experince is necessary to know about addictive ones and know how to help them but it's very dangerous to let underaged persons understand its concept without control.
