What makes you hide your bets in public?

[Strongkored]

The reason is because I only use small funds in every bet (sports betting) and minimum bet (on dice, slots etc.) and consider this not something to be proud of to display, indeed there are players who still display their bets even though they are worth the same as me but I think keeping it hidden feels more comfortable to me.

Personally I don't like someone to see how much I bet and if I am winning or not, but for other players with higher bets and winning they probably don't want someone to beg sometimes if people see you are winning they would send you a message trying to be friendly and after a while they will ask if they could borrow a money but for some users probably because they just want a privacy. Plain and simple.

[ImThour]

I am sure most people do it for their own privacy, not to think so much about it at all.
If I ever want to share my winnings if I hit a jackpot, I will make a post and brag about it but until then, I will love to keep my bets private.

Also, maybe you want to hide your username and don't let anyone else copy gamble you, I know people do copy trade most of the time.

Not really sure what you're talking about, hiding your username in this forum are completely pointless if you didn't hide your username on the casino itself. When you're already hide your username and many users did same, no one will know which user is controlled by you if we see from the public bet history.

It's just for privacy to not link between your account on this forum and the casino, that's all.

I tend to hide my bets because it's one way to avoid unwanted attention in chat, even though I still post my bets on chat from time to time it's better to keep most of my bets to myself.

I think he's talking about hiding the username in the casino as sometimes you'll get distracted by messages from certain users if they see you winning and placed high in the leaderboards of a contest.

I don't tend to hide or keep my username private in my betting because I'm also a small gambler and I rarely play. I also don't care if they imitate the strategy I used, it's up to them. I only hide it when I want to or in case the information I have used on the gambling site is related to my true identity. Maybe I’ll even be able to hide my identity publicly if I win big.

I did the same it's ignorable if you're betting small no one will hardly know unless the username you're using is well known so why hide it, if there is a contest like OP mentioned its best to not show it because when it comes to contesting everyone is for each own, and if you won you can make it public any big wins is considered as a chip in your shoulder, but of course, your username should be different from what you're using from real life.

Privacy might be more important than to have fun, and its really a choice of every gambler.
I do prefer to gamble with my username in public, I don't take this seriously and sometimes I also want to interact with other gamblers and I see this more fun. There's an option with this where you can set up your account as a private, we've seen this before and that's fine. Hiding means you want to be protected, regards of your status you can still have this kind of settings.

Usually many sites keep their site bet history open.  Where everyone can see that history. Through this they increase the publicity of their site. It looks like new gamblers are attracted to that site.  For this they made such a plan. But if you are a professional gambler.  So I think it's best to keep your bet history hidden. And all those gambling sites hide their bets history.  That site should be used

[Wiwo]

To me, I always decide to stay private, as long as I don't have any connection with the public. I am a privacy advocate and I try as much as possible to stay away from the public, so if peradventure any newbies want to copy my betting formula is up to them to understand that my personal experiences are what influence decisions, understand that betting or gambling is influenced by so many factors and following a laydown technique is a wrong betting behavior but following the right statistics will give you an accurate result.

Topic: Do you place your bet(s) as private or unlisted in the "public bets list"?

Why? Why not?

I personally don't hide it as long as it will not involve any sensitive information that may harm my own account. I haven't hide any bets in public since it's not that much they can get to anyway on  all of my accounts in online gambling. I think those whales probably needed it the most but for as shrimps, it won't matter I suppose.

Yeah, new people who see the other users bet history will feel attracted since they think the casino is really have many gamblers that played on their casino. But sometimes it can be faked, especially for new casinos. If you see the chat that only have few gamblers but the replay is really crowd, obviously it's faked.

This mean you did hide something since it will harm your account?

Yes, this usually happens like this. Common new casinos keep bet history open on their site's home page. And there they show plenty of bets. Most of these are fake which they do themselves using bot. So I think it is better not to use such gambling sites. These sites are likely to be deceived.

[maydna]

That's because I don't feel comfortable showing my gambling activities publicly. Besides, I don't want to be the reason someone will become addicted to gambling because they see me playing gambling. It is better for me to play gambling secretly in one place than to gamble in public. In addition, I play online gambling, so it won't make people suspicious if I'm in front of the computer because they will think I'm working.

[Doell]

Actually I rarely use this feature because I rarely use my real name just pseudonym, maybe only the same name of this forum and even then it depends on the casino usually different too, another reason I want to look normal too but if want activate it maybe like you are concerned with strategy when participating in contests. After all no one will be interested in anchovy gamblers like me.

[Cling18]

I haven't tried hiding my personal bets before since I'm just a small bettor. I guess I will only do that if I will feel ashamed of my continuous losses but so far, I still feel comfortable showing it. Some players like checking the account of huge bettors because of curiosity but I guess that's still safe as long as we're on a trusted site.

If you are referring to the total bets that has been wagered, I really do not care that much on making it known by the public. But maybe if I have more to gamble, I might consider hiding it.
On the other hand, if you are talking about bets... that on sports betting, I think it is much better to just not make it post in public as it might affect the amount of your winnings if the odds changed significantly. Maybe just share it once the event is completely done.

[lionheart78]

How about you guys, what makes you hide your bets and/or what makes you show it to the World?

I don't mind showing people my bets, but I want my username to be private.  that is the only reason why I disabled showing username and hide it under the anonymous player.  I always play slots so there isn't much strategy from it.  I just press bet amount and auto spin, and everyone does that.  Aside from that, I don't have a huge bankroll so there is really no reason to hide my bets.

[Mahdirakib]

As much as I can I don't want to publicize my bets in public due to some reasons. The most common reason is I don't want people to see if I am having a winning and losing streak since it could catch an attention from many people. Privacy is really important and its good if all casino have this feature because for sure many gamblers don't want people to talk about their activities since somehow this could destroy their focus.

The situation is same here. I also hide my username when I play with bigger bankroll. I wasn't doing it in the beginning stage, but nowadays I keep my username hidden. Because, I had received lot's of mention in the chat, also PM from various people when my big wins appeared in the bet history page. It destruct my attentions from the betting. But I keep my username publicly available too when it is necessary for taking part in the challenges.

Most crypto users value their privacy, therefore, hiding usernames and bets details on crypto casinos is supposed to be the default setting not the other way around.
Personally, I have the same username on almost all casinos, so being able to hide it is very important to me just in case someone is tracking me (regardless of whether he has malicious intents or he is just a curious person).

[dothebeats]

Also this one. I remember my days in nitrogensports wherein I posted a bet slip which is against the majority of the bets that time. I got ridiculed and laughed at for choosing the 'underdogs' with players that are 'inexperienced and washed out.' I won that bet, it was a tier 2 dota 2 qualifiers to a major that I already forgot which teams, but I remember so vividly how they mocked Mushi for being too old to play dota and whatnot. Afterwards I never posted a bet slip anymore even if it won due to that unpleasant experience. Nothing major but it still is infuriating whenever I remember it.
