Who are those people that you don't want them to know you are a gambler

[erep]

Most gamblers are want their way to keep their gambling as secret from their families and specially for there children and wife .  I want this too. Because when someone in the family comes to know about gambling, the self-respect in the family decreases and on the other hand, their children also try to enter the world of gambling. So it is better to hide this matter from the family.  This keeps the family peaceful

Most gamblers will keep their gambling activities a secret to their family or relatives who are relatively well connected with the family, most people think to avoid negative stigma against our family because one family member is involved in gambling addiction, but if we live in an urban environment then other people don't have it. time to think about our activities and we are free to do whatever we want without disturbing others. Another reason to avoid gambling from the family is because we will be accused of wasting money that is used to always play gambling and we can not be trusted to manage anything related to finances.

Some gamblers keep their gambling activities secrete from people they have close relationship with. Having it in mind that if these people know they are gamblers,it might bring down their reputation or make them look wasteful. I hide my gambling activities from my Mom the reason is that she hates gamblers and calls them irresponsible people from her own perspective.

Are you such gambler ?

Depends on the people. I have a close relationship with my partner but I never hide my gambling activities from her. She gambles light, mostly for fun and she sometimes encourages me to try my luck by the time I gave out my salary to her and when I am doubting if I will play once or not because I said to her that my luck is getting sucked lately.

If you are a chronic gambler then maybe yes. They will hate you or will talk things to other people about this habit of yours but addict gamblers doesn't really pay attention to that. They would only care more about their happiness. No one can stop them unless it comes to the point that they are being forced to do so.

It is mostly for this reason that many of us keep gambling activities away from friends and family members.
The odd part is that, from my own personal experience, if you bring money home and you are asked where you got it from, and you tell them you won it from betting, they are happy and congratulating you and are even happy you did whatever you did (gamble or bet) to win the money..

but then on the other hand, keep gambling or betting and keep loosing the money, and open up to the family or even friends who dont gamble, and you instantly become the black sheep amongst them, more reason why i prefer to keep all my activities to myself , both the winning and loses, though its different for friends i gamble with.

I used to hide it from my family because they tend to overthink and it might just stress them out as they know how bad gambling can become. Now I still hide it but not as much since my friends know that I gamble and sometimes we exchange gambling stories. I just don't see that many positive things if I suddenly tell them that I gamble so might as well keep my gambling activities to myself.

Better to make yourself in private when it comes to gambling.It cant really be denied that most of us would be always be having that negative impressions or thoughts in towards gambling.

We do really indeed overthink that someone is completely that an addicted person once they had touched gambling which is really a very wrong idea for someone to believe on.

So if you dont really like that kind of hassle thing or mind boggling then it would be better if you do keep into yourself about on things that what you are doing.
Doesnt matter if its your family or friends.

The only person that I don't want to know my gambling history/activities is perhaps the young ones in the family. I just don't want them to think that it's cool to gamble and set a bad example that they might replicate in the future. Usually, young kids will always see adults as their role model no matter what the adults are doing, and IMO that's something that will always be a double-edged sword that needs to be checked always. Apart from them, I don't care whoever knows about  my gambling habits. I have the money to fund whatever I'm doing, and I'm not using money  that's not mine in order to get my gambling fill.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Hahahaha....
This should go well if I were a gambler but, unfortunately I'm not one.
I would hide my gambling habits from my parents, siblings and probably children (when I have one). I won't Dare to hide from my dude; that guy's an ass. He gambles 247 and though, he wins many more times, I'm trying hard to dilute the mindset of winning big in him, with these common logic,: that gamblers ain't wealthy people, that I haven't seen any rich gambler (I mean getting rich with the money won from staking bets) etc .. but I'll shock you to your marrows that there's no live match that takes me unawares and I could even book you games if you want 'em. I have had an experience once, when I worked as a cashier.

NO, I don't mind if other people or even my relatives know that I am a gambler.

Who are these people you hide your gambling activities from ?

No one in particular, it is my life so I do not think that other people would have a say even if they new that I do gambling.

Others may think of personal reputation as the reason why they are hiding their gambling activity.  I don't mind whatever people think, I know myself better than anyone.  As long as I am not doing anything that will negatively affect people around me, I don't care about how they look at me as a gambler.

[JoyMarsha]

Who do I think I hide gambling from? I think is my mom. My mom is the type of mother that I don't to see or hear that you spent your earn hard money on gambling. She keeps telling us her children that gamblers don't save money or take care of their families well. There is this adage she normally says "earning and spending money immediately doesn't make a fortune". Gambling can't make you rich, it takes the ones you have. Desist from gambling

I belong to a religious group that frowns at gambling. Although gambling is not prohibited but most people in my religious group sees it as a manifestation of greed and selfishness. That is why I would always hide my gambling life from them. I would also ensure that my students in school never perceive that I gamble. This because they are underage and might start gambling if the know that I engage in it. My children at home must also be shielded from my gambling life because they are also too young to know that part of me. That is always why I prepare online games because it helps you to keep your gambling life secret.

Maybe depends on the person's profession. There are jobs that are sensitive and if those persons involved are caught gambling, they will face heavy punishment. Here in our country, police officers are not allowed to do gambling even off-duty. That is prohibited in their line of service.

In my case, I don't see a big reason why should I hide my gambling activity.

As long as I stay responsible and disciplined even when I gamble, everything should be fine.

[Oceat]

It doesn't matter who they are as long as I am in peace and doesn't have trouble of having an anxiety that always thinking that what if he/she/they know that I'm a gambler. Nah, just accept it already that if someone found out your bad side you still can face them head on. But if you are ashamed to get caught, then don't do gambling simple as that.

If you can risk your money to gamble then you can risk your peace of mind too. Be forward to everything you do and stop holding back yourself you might not enjoy what you are doing. Be proud! Besides, there's nothing to be ashame if you are casually gambling and not a heavy gambler.

[Genemind]

I don't gamble that much and I consider myself a social gambler. The reason behind this is I try to control myself whenever I gamble so as much as possible I try my best to stay away from it or limit gambling as much as I can because of bad gambling habits. I have a bad habit of chasing after my losses and most of the time I lose all my funds or go beyond my limit when gambling. My wife is aware that I gamble, but I never disclose how much money I gamble with whenever I bet. I don't feel ashamed or even hide the fact that I gamble to anyone since I don't really find it an issue as long as you are not a problem gambler.

For me they are everyone now - I don't want to tell anyone what I am doing. Want to keep it private.
Now I work from my private place and don't want to  meet many people and its a good practice. I am happy with my new strategy

Privacy is safe but boring if you are not sharing your thoughts with others. I don't know if you are not a talkative person, but I am, and it is very boring if I don't have someone I trust to whom I would tell my experience as a gambler, though this is where the right people are that you can tell. I only have a few online friends with whom I share my gambling experience. My family and relatives don't know that I do this. It is best if you have a friend who is also a gambler that you can talk with; though it isn't necessary, it is good for our feelings and minds.

People have different personalities, he keeps privacy like how we avoid KYC in casinos.

Like him, I also don't talk about my gambling activity to anyone but to some few friends that I know are not going to tell to someone who knows will be upset and disappointed. We all have friends who value secrecy, those are the kind who you go along with smoking weed and hooking hookers together.

I think my wife and my mother since they are against it, they always say that if you have bought or invest it on stuffs we really needed then it's much more good rather than gamble it with uncertainty. I'm not really that a gambler but something really is not right when you feel lost and you have those regrets much more if your wife finds it out and get a good talking.

Every person is different but I am not very inclined to share every single piece of information about my life to everyone I know, when it comes to my gambling I do not really tell anyone and not because I am afraid or embarrassed about it, but simply because I do not feel like it, people these days seem to want to know every single thing about you and I do not feel comfortable with that so I make sure to give them hints that I am not going to answer all the personal questions they may ask me.

That is why people should gamble only with money they can afford to lose and that won't be missed by the gambler later. If you have to repair something in your house or acquire a new furniture, of course you should use your money for those purposes instead of gambling, because life quality and comfort come first, but there isn't any problem if after spending on what your family is lacking you use some spare money to gamble just to have some fun. After all, everyone deserves to have their personal and private relaxing moment doing what they enjoy sometimes.

It's only natural that your wife and mother are against gambling because they must have known what the consequences of playing gambling could be for you or your family. But even so, some people continue to gamble secretly without anyone knowing, including their wives or mothers. Maybe that's fine with them and as long as they can keep themselves from losing too much, they can still do it. But you should not play gambling too often, especially if it can later make your wife or mother suspicious of the activities you do if you are alone.
