Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[yazher]

This won't work because once you get addicted, your families will question your stressful looks and where your money goes after you get them. Sometimes people who hide their gambling habits fall into debt because they don't want to ask for money from their parents siblings or friends and in the end, they will just know the truth because a person like this will lose every chance he has to hide it.

It depends on how people will perceive things. Some are proud and like to broadcast it to everyone so that others will be aware of their activities and perhaps inspire others to take the same path. Others just want to be lowkey and keep quiet about the things they do to avoid the unnecessary and unwanted attention of other people who might pry into their lives and the way how they do things. So it all boils down on what kind of person you are: a private one or a public one. And there's totally nothing wrong whichever or these you are because we have our own preferences and personality after all. It's just that those who are vocal can receive the criticisms and be reminded of the people around then that are concern to them the moment they aren't really doing well in gambling.

Yes, there are certainly different types of people. People who like to broadcast it to others want to show that they are above everything, but when they lose, they will remove themselves from the public, will not appear for a while, and will not even say anything to others. It's up to them whether they want to hide their gambling activities or show it to other people, and usually before they tell other people, they will first find out what other people's responses will be after they tell the truth about gambling if they are not used to telling their personal life, they will also not talk about their gambling activities because it is their personal secret. So in this case, each person has the right to hide their gambling activities, but if they experience something bad such as gambling addiction, other people will not be able to help them.

That's because of their excitement, most people tend to show others that they are winning but not being able to share their losses. Why? maybe because of their pride. I remember so many people. LOL. It is one of the reasons why some other people who know nothing about gambling get to start gambling because they are hooked by those people who share their winnings.

I knew someone in real life that falls exactly to your example. He has no job and leaving with parents and sibling while he secretly addicted on gambling. He is playing on physical casino secretly that’s why no one notice it. His family knew about his gambling addiction problem after those lenders that he failed to his debt shows up on his house.

The debt grow to 1M pesos which is amazing how he managed to get that huge loan despite of being jobless. Their family can be category to middle class but the specific person doesn’t have job. I’m speculating that he is stealing funds and luxury items from his parents stash.

Imagine you're working very hard, use most of your salary into investment, learning a new skill everyday, and already avoid anything that can cause unnecessary spending. But you're live with someone who's a gambling addict and then there are many debt collectors come into your house asking for money.

All the money you collected might still not able to pay off all the debts.

A gambling addict is completely rubbish, he's not only ruin his life, but his close friend and family get an impact too.

[moneystery]

a person hides his gambling habit of course for a reason, maybe it's because of embarrassment, people's views might change towards him, because of religion, environment, using money that he shouldn't use, money laundering, and many other reasons. but usually people hide their gambling habit because they are quite ashamed of the people around them and because of religion.

but after all, gambling is not something that should be talked about or shown to people, because the more you hide your gambling habits, the less trouble you will get. and that's why most gamblers in casinos usually deliberately hide their habits because they don't want to get involved in problems that will bother them.

You will be familiar that people don't keep their success as a secret but they must keep their defeat as a secret so same is the case with gambling which is consider as a bad activities by this society and people get failure by involving in this activity therefore may be they are keeping it secret.

But there is nothing which remains secret always and one day secrecy becomes out either in a type of success or in a type of defeat. Gambler is a person who will start gambling with keeping in mind that they will earn huge money but the outcome is not according to their hopes.

Well, maybe most gamblers think of gambling as a way to earn money but not all gamblers think this way, and some of us might not like sharing any of the activities that we do in private with anyone whether it's a friend, a relative, or anyone. There are people who share almost every single thing with their friends or at least one friend, they even share what happens between them and their partner but I don't find that to be a good thing in all situations.

I, and I'm sure a lot of other people, don't gamble to earn money, I do it occasionally only to entertain myself a little bit by spending a very small amount that I know I wouldn't think about twice even if it's lost and I would obviously not share this activity of mine with anyone for nothing else but it is nothing that important to be shared.

We never know. He might be stealing not only from his home but also from other places.
He might also be involved with illicit activities but the only thing of concern here is the people who are showing up in his home.
His family is in trouble because of his bad gambling habits and this is a very bad thing.
We should never do such things which causes our family in trouble.

We live in a society where people have different views about something and these views could be drawn based on different constituent like personal sentiment, religion, ideology and experience. And speaking of gamble there are those that view it as an irresponsible activity to embark on and whoever is into it is tag as irresponsible guy, for some it beyond being irresponsible but a sin something that is evil,  while some others out of an ugly experience of a loved one that got ruined by it due to extreme addiction.

These factors has made a number of gamblers to keep their gambling habit a secret doing all they could not to let friends and family  know they gamble. And it does seem like they ain't proud of what they're doing.

But why continue in what you're not proud of by keeping it secret cause maybe you're worried about what people may say, how their thoughts about your person might change. Or how you might loose ties with someone you hold dear to. And many other reasons that follows.

Those that keep their gambling habit a secret is it that they're not proud of what they are doing?.

How can you be proud of gambling, is gambling what being proud of, so in normal way gambling is like entertainment and is strictly made for rich people who feed three square meal a day, so I don't know why someone will proud of gambling, for my understanding gambling is not good it acts as corruption in my way of understanding gambling and that is why in some countries they have limitations of age in gambling before you can participate publicly, why in some of the uncivilised countries gambling have it way of operations everyone can participate in gambling.

All I can say is that it's not for us to say they are not proud or they are proud. We all have reasons for hiding it from our family.
One family member can tell it to someone and the next thing you know, their grandparents come to visit to talk to them about what they know. Stories fly and sometimes it's revised in a bad way.

So whatever I do or plan to do with my money, I keep it to myself because there is nothing worse than someone else handling you.

That's another problem that being created, first with gambling addiction and next is the debts that needed to address, how this person will be able to repay those lenders if he or she doesn't have a job? But reality in life happens, and no one is exempted in terms of addictions, once you involved yourself and you engage deeply into it, the chance of miss-balancing your finances will be the next thing you will realized, better to seek for help instead of waiting for more problems to come.

[TopTort777]

On one hand it is correct to keep gambling passion in secret, but in the other we keep gambling in secret, cryptocurrency in secret, salary in secret - everything is in secret. Is it normal? I think it is not. Other opinion, why should I keep something in secret, specially how can you keep habit in secret, if I am a grown up adult. Imho I dont. I dont have to care much about other opinion, I must make my own decision and have own opinion.

Some of them wouldn't mind if their secret was revealed. They can reason out afterward. Somehow they avoided defending the habit as there was nothing to defend yet. Thus preventing having something to argue with a wife or an envious in-law.

Let's say they just found out you gambled some of your money every month. From now on they may just talk to you about it and instead of having the freedom to browse and be alone on your laptop, your wife may just be watching over your shoulder. Worse your in-laws are also there watching you. Revealing to your biological brother, I think it's fine but some may find it not fine.

Still dont understand why I should keep gambling in secret if I gamble with my own money. I should not be shy of it or feel uncomfortable. That is just stupid. I dont keep in secret if I buy beer, bread or something, but I must hide that I spend money on gambling. If a person hides that he gambles from his family, then there is something fishy with his funds, or something wrong with his mind.

We all know that the why we hide gambling to our families is because gambling is not the rightful thing to do, anything good not being hide to the family because you will like a situation whereby your children learn from you are doing, its when you are doing wrong thing it's when you will hide something to your family, gambling should have a particular stage someone should reached before being allowed to participate in gambling but some people is not aware of all this, so basically gambling is something I know that it's supposed to be secret and it's not supposed to be exposed.

The gambler should start to gamble on their regular income will be the good option,gamblers with no steady income will not be the better option for the gambling.Where they manage the money for gambling,if from the credit then it won’t be good option.I won’t accept the gamblers without job to use the gambling as the full time.Because the source for the gambling won’t be regular one.Some less people will have huge time,So to entertainment they should not choose the gambling.The main reason is the gambling had both the opportunity of winning and loss and we can’t guaranteed the hundred percentage win in gambling.

The conditions will be very different if we have become addicted gamblers. Because, this will indeed really affect our daily lives. And of course addicted gamblers will have a very clear change in attitude, related to their emotions which are usually more unstable and easily provoked by emotions. Not only that, addicted gamblers will usually tend to be rude and do anything to get money. This is where people usually know if they are gamblers.

but this condition will be different if you are not an addicted gambler, as long as they can keep a secret, maybe no one will know. It's only possible that other people will just be curious about what he's doing, especially if more and more money is being made

Ah man, you talk about addiction to gambling as it was something which cannot avoided or as if it was the final destiny of all gamblers out there.
Despise I do not personal recommend anyone to keep their gambling activities secret, that is a decision which is supposed to be taken by each one of us individually and according to our personal situation.

Regardless on how many people who have become seriously addicted and troubled because of gambling, in reality there are still people who are able to keep their habits as a secret and be responsible enough to keep their budget well defined, so gambling won't have a significant impact in their life, even if they constantly lose to their preferred casino.

Your opinion is right, that I often see people around me who are addicted to gambling, they will experience changes in character, previously he was polite, he would be rude and some were even cheerful, he looked worried and nervous about this. change. others would think he was a gambling addict.
However, if someone who is addicted to gambling can control himself, he will appear relaxed, calm and enjoy the gambling game. Indeed, gambling addiction will have a negative impact on people who cannot control themselves

[uneng]

If a person hides that he gambles from his family, then there is something fishy with his funds, or something wrong with his mind.

Not necessarily. Maybe this person is just trying to avoid a unecessary conflict with a parent or relative who is closed minded regards gambling, and due to being in an advanced age is less likely to change his conception, since it has been there since an early age. It's like the gay person who doesn't present himself to the family as gay, because he respects their traditions and doesn't feel like it would make any difference at all, as it is a very private matter respective only to himself.

I can only assume you're not married yet?
Maybe I married the wrong woman, realization only happens when it's over but we're family and gotta stick together. I don't wanna hear her nagging every morning or my kid hearing about it because I also don't want him getting serious about the cards we play at home.

Experience teaches us lessons and learned it the hard way when she nags all day so keeping her calm helps her and me and my kid. If it had happened before, its best to keep things secret from her.

if that happens to gambling addicts who are not too severe I think they can still hide their gambling activities but for gambling addicts who are already severe I am sure he will not be able to hide his gambling activities and can even be seen by other people when he tries to take money or steal other people things. he did all this because of a serious gambling addiction, they did not have normal thoughts or only thought about gambling without having any other thoughts.

and in the long run I think this kind of person will be worse off if it harms other people maybe he will be caught by the authorities to be taken to rehab.

I have a real experience of this. I have seen a friend of mine who gambles constantly. When he lost all his money, he tries to borrow. He had enough respect that people would lend him as much money as he asked. But when he loses gambling again, he again borrows money from other people. Thus he gambled for some time. At some point no one lends him money. Then he felt very worried after losing the money and he took loan from various financial institutions. But when it's time to pay the money, he fails to return the loan money and all the lenders visits their house and the family learns about his gambling activities. Then his gambling issue was no longer suppressed.
