Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[ChuckBuck]

It has become a common thing in a society where they easily judge other people, especially those who gamble too often. And if the gamblers do not harm other people in the sense that the gamblers do not borrow from other people and only use their own money to gamble, it is up to them what they want to use their money for. So other people can't just say or judge them as they please. And if these gamblers keep their gambling a secret because they are afraid of bad judgment from people, they can do it because gambling is each person's right. But when gamblers ask for help because they are addicted to gambling, the people around them must help to cure their gambling addiction.

From ancient times until now, gambling has been a scourge that has negative values, especially for people who are closely related to the beliefs they believe in. So it would be very natural if there were negative views among the wider community. gambling will be bad, if someone has bad thoughts. On the contrary, gambling can be entertainment if a person knows how to treat it. It can be in the form of entertainment, to relieve stress after work activities, it can also be used as relaxation, it all depends on how a person assesses gambling as he believes. nothing is wrong, and nothing is right. everyone is free to have an opinion.

For us, the most important thing is to be fully aware of the risks. Just imagine, this hobby can be said to be quite expensive, because we have to spend money to play it. from this entertainment, there are consequences, if we are lucky, we win. and a small risk, we will lose, a bad risk, we become addicted. and these problems, can impact the people around us. So it's natural, if there are negative views from non-gamblers. but it all comes back to us, after all we are free to do what we like, including gambling. It's just that, there is no such thing as absolute freedom. which means, we as gamblers need regulations that limit our gambling. Regarding keeping gambling a secret from other people, isn't this a normal thing regardless of the reasons behind it all. after all, one has the right to do so.

I agree with everything you said. Actually, everything has pros and cons, not just gaming. It's been too dramatic to say that gaming is a "scourge." People who preach that gambling is bad usually also have bad habits. Self-control and understanding are what matter, as you correctly said. The issue is not the game itself, but the way you play it. That person, not the game, is responsible if they lose all their money playing. It's about being in charge. And about keeping it a secret? Let's be honest. Don't we all have secrets? Whether it's gambling or something else, it's personal

Whether it's gambling or something else, it's personal 

Everyone does have their own secrets and just let other people do keep theirs and its none of our business if they would really be deciding such act because its true that we do have our own preference on what are

the things that we should be kept on our own or whats not. Speaking about gambling then ti cant really be denied that most community do really look frowned upon with this kind of activity or thing on which they would really be looking bad at it and into those people who had really been dealing with it without trying out to realize that things or situations that gamblers been facing is really that reflecting or according into
the things that they had decided or being too much getting involved and resulting into such devastation. People around should really be realizing these basic concepts or situations which a particular person would be able to experience or encounter if he would really be that too irresponsible in regarding in his actions.

There's no issue on doing gambling as long you do make yourself that being responsible with your spending.If you dont like to be the one or the talk in town then its better you should really be
doing on whats right and people wont really be able to find a hole for them to make some talks about you and this is something that you should mind and protect.

[Shamm]

Everyone does have their own secrets and just let other people do keep theirs and its none of our business if they would really be deciding such act because its true that we do have our own preferences.

Yes you are right that mate everyone of us here has a secret and yes we won't let happen that our secret will revealed to those people around us that we want to hide.  and also in other people they have Thier own secrets too then why should we enter Thier life and ruin Thier secret? If they are too addicted in gambling then it's jon of our business to interrupt them . It's all Thier faults once they caught.

I agree with everything you said. Actually, everything has pros and cons, not just gaming. It's been too dramatic to say that gaming is a "scourge."

Whether it's gambling or something else, it's personal  

Unfortunately many people live in a black and white world in which either something is completely good and if it is not then it is assumed to be bad, the majority of gamblers out there will never suffer any repercussions from their hobby, just as someone can enjoy a few drinks and they will not become an alcoholic, however for those intolerant people since the chances exist for a person to go down the wrong path then gambling must be bad and it should be banned, even if such practices have shown to damage society at large.

[Peanutswar]

Without a doubt this still happens and this means people need to be very careful about the information they allow to be spread about themselves, as there are many regions around the world where gambling is still considered to be an undesirable hobby and many people are not going to be subtle about their disapproval towards it.

However thanks to online gambling this is less and less of a problem, as now people can gamble while using their phones and as long as you keep quiet about it no one will realize what you are doing.

But that doesn't seem to be the case where I live. Most slot players telling people what they got, big wins, jackpots even their lose. There is no age limit, young and old, shared each other about their achievements. The most important thing in maintaining the secret of gambling activities is from the family. Because some of the family will definitely not be happy with this activity. Also from friends, who are gambling, because it will be annoying if they find out we got the jackpot. If they don't ask for anything, of course it doesn't matter, for those who are addicted, with the excuse of being "friends" there are people who don't hesitate to ask for the winnings. but he never help us when we are lose

It is not surprising that this phenomenon occurs somewhere, they share winning stories with people involved in slot games. There is a feeling of happiness after sharing a big win that has just been achieved to a friend and the opposite when they are losing. They have formed like a community who sit together and have fun while playing, there is no longer anything hidden between each other when a close relationship has been established.

Behind their solidarity when playing and sharing stories about when they win big or when they lose, they will keep their activities a secret from their respective families. This is not because they are afraid of their family, but want to maintain harmony between families who do not like gambling activities.

Sharing your knowledge and experience to the people you really trust will gives different kind of excitement how you win a large amount with the casino every second of the moment before the happenings will be remembered to them, also some point they didn't share to their family is one possible the family will become dependent to that particular member who wins a lot of money and keep seeking and asking for an extra money because whats the family for, to help each other. Next is the family possible will not support the use of playing gambling because they know the possible impact of it not only to the family but also to the gambler itself.

In certain environments, gambling is considered a bad activity. Likewise, gamblers will be considered bad in society. Maybe that's why some gamblers keep their gambling activities a secret in the area where they live.
The most important thing is that gamblers must be responsible for what they enjoy. Don't let it get out of control and even harm society. This could happen to gamblers who are in a bad economy but find it difficult to stop their hobby.

The problem that often occurs is that people don't know how to treat gambling, which makes them get too deep into gambling and even many who have experienced gambling addiction are difficult to cure. Only a few can use gambling as entertainment and take good care of themselves while gambling so that they will not be tempted to gamble as often because they have other activities to do. But maybe they prefer to keep their gambling activities hidden from other people so that they can be calm when gambling and there is no negative response from other people.

And if we can't accept the risk, maybe looking for other hobbies or entertainment that don't require too much money is better. I'm sure we can find it so that we won't depend on gambling because we want to avoid the problem of gambling addiction, especially if we realize that we haven't been able to control ourselves well. But if we can limit gambling well, maybe we won't experience addiction in the future. Play gambling so that we can treat gambling as entertainment. It is better for them to keep their gambling activities a secret from other people than to get negative responses from people who don't like gambling later. And also it will be better for us so that we will not feel anything from them.

[Maestro75]

So lets say now, my wife naturally does not like gamblers as she sees them as jobless, lazy and money wasters, imagine i let her know that i gamble, how possibly can i explain this to her understanding?, what exactly am i going to tell her that will make her understand that not every gambler is jobless, lazy and just wasting money, i will rather spare myself that stress of trying to convince her, by keeping my gambling activities a secret to her, than trying to convince in any way.

And the day she finds out what do you think will happen? She will lose all trust in you and whatever you tell her later. If you are winning more of your games than you lose, and you earn from it, why would you hide it. Those who hide their gambling habits are those who have more loses than winning. If your wife does not have financial issues and arguement with you but does not know you are a gambler it is better you tell her than for her to find out herself. You can stylishly disclose your winnings to her once in a while. Watch her and you will find out that she will later become cool with it.

You support the "recreational gambler" style, which emphasizes enjoyment without addiction. You did well. Who doesn't love the idea of being in charge?

Research suggests that most recreational gamblers aim to recover their losses. Why? The house edge and "almost winning" are supposed to keep you playing. You could advise ways to avoid gambling, but we both know that gaming often has a bigger pull on us than we'd like. Should we risk? You should be ready for everything, not just the thrilling bits, if you want to play that game

[Negotiation]

Sometimes you have no options other than hiding it from close friends and relatives. Of course if you make money through gambling you know how it works and its no issue at all. But in some conservative communities business involving money is always counted dangerous so you better do hard labor. (literally my people are like that, not only gambling, they also dislike setting up business because it involves a risk). But as you guys both said, we should be better proud of our gambling habits. There's nothing shameful in it.

We are grown-ups and able to take decision by ourselves, choosing either positive or negative actions. I'm not ashamed regarding what I engage in; possibly it's simply something I look forward having fun with in my spare time, rather than anything I depend on to make money. Gambling is dangerous, and most people avoid it, especially those who have no comprehension of what it is all about and are unfamiliar with the games being played. Making money from gambling is something I keep confidential because I don't want to tarnish my family's reputation.

If you can control yourself by knowing the positive and negative aspects of gambling no one will know that they are gambling. And the family's reputation will not be ruined. Nowadays online gambling is more popular and it is difficult to get information about it without telling anyone but if it becomes an addiction it is no longer fun. A person with gambling addiction tries to keep it a secret from others but small problems arise. Gambling involves themselves so much that they neglect other important responsibilities in life. Personal relationships cause harm in the economic sphere and the world of work.

Fire and gambling are similar. When used properly, it can illuminate and warm. We all know what happens if you abuse it. Modern digital life makes rabbit holes simple to fall into. No real money is exchanged, just figures on a screen, making it appear less real?

It gets tougher to keep secrets. You can hide online but not in real life. Small mistakes, missed appointments, and strained relationships are the actual cost of overindulging. Knowledge and self-awareness are crucial to keeping gambling a choice, not an addiction.

Yup, as even you can hide your actual gaming but in your actions and with how you emptied your savings and not to provide what you needed to supply for either your family or on your own, it will still be detected, but if you know how to balance and you know how to work well with your gambling activities, it will not affect anything at all.

You just needed to make sure that you will balance your expenses, either you broadcast your gambling or choose to keep it secret.

[Slow death]

When it comes to things like gambling and talking or not talking to neighbors, friends and acquaintances, you need to be very cautious in this part because one thing is to tell everything to the people in the family, this is something mandatory that the people in the family such as father, mother, siblings, wife or husband. This is because in case the person becomes an addict, only those people in the family could help the person addicted to gambling, now when the person goes out and tells their neighbors and all their friends on the streets, that person is taking a big risk. imagine one day this person catches his best friend on the street and tells him that he makes sports bets and shows him the website where he makes sports bets

Some time later this person hears that his best friend became addicted to gambling, sold everything he had, lost his job and is admitted to a hospital for addiction treatment. The friend's parties learn that it was his best friend who told him about gambling. of chance, immediately the relatives of the guy who became addicted will hate the friend who told him about gambling, which is why it is important to be very careful with what we tell on the street and especially who we tell. In most cases of addiction, the addict's relatives always try to find out who was leading the addict and then blame the friends of that person who became addicted.

and in extreme cases, the addict's relatives take revenge by doing bad things to the addict's friends, because they believe that his friends are to blame. denial is something that relatives of addicts face in the early years and find it difficult to accept that only the only person to blame is their relative and friends are not to blame

[STT]

Not secret but not broadcast either, its nobodys business but your own really much like many activities.   IF you mean secret from your family especially your wife who you split finances from then yea I would prefer not to have to do that but I understand if many people do avoid that aggravation if its not really needed to do.   The only real reason you have to disclose gambling is when you fail to control or  balance your finances then likely its problem for you and everyone around you unfortunately.

You should be ready for everything, not just the thrilling bits, if you want to play that game

Yes, that's what we have to do if we still want to gamble so that we don't experience any problems because most people can forget themselves for a moment after they gamble. This is a precaution to protect us from losing a lot because, in gambling, we will definitely experience defeat and cannot win continuously. We must try to be responsible gamblers so as not to experience gambling addiction.

If research shows that, it could be right or wrong because the intentions of each gambler who uses gambling will be different. If recreational gamblers aim to recover their losses, they must be prepared for the risk that they may experience another loss, which could be bigger if they cannot control themselves. We can only avoid gambling with methods we have learned previously so that we don't get too interested in gambling and can still enjoy gambling without any intention of recovering the losses. And if we are not ready for the risks, we should not gamble for too long, let alone use a lot of money.

Indeed, more gamblers who initially kept their gambling activities secret were revealed after their finances started to get messy and involved people around them. It's like borrowing from friends and family just to gamble with the assumption that it will pay off when you get a monthly salary or win from gambling.
and of course it will disrupt the family's finances. and it would be very bad if such gambling activities continued. forcing yourself to continue playing even though you have run out of capital.

In fact, it's also a good idea for the family to know about the gambling activities we do. at least our wife. So there is a clear allocation of money for household needs and also for playing at the casino. Maybe when we provide good understanding, family can actually be a control so that we don't lose too much beyond the limits of our abilities.

[TopTort777]

So lets say now, my wife naturally does not like gamblers as she sees them as jobless, lazy and money wasters, imagine i let her know that i gamble, how possibly can i explain this to her understanding?, what exactly am i going to tell her that will make her understand that not every gambler is jobless, lazy and just wasting money, i will rather spare myself that stress of trying to convince her, by keeping my gambling activities a secret to her, than trying to convince in any way.

You can stylishly disclose your winnings to her once in a while. Watch her and you will find out that she will later become cool with it.

I believe "she" has secrets either and money issues (if a guy has lost money) is least harmful secret that a family could have. People must understand that they can do whatever they want with their earned money. Hiding from someone that you spend your money in gambling? Not for me. I dont hide my gambling habit. No one havent complained about it. However no one cheered me either to play more. Even if someone complain, try to make me uncomfortable because I lose money in gambling, call me addicted - I dont care. My money, my rules. I wont let anybody calculate my money and teach how to spend and how to use them.

That's right, an addicted gambler will do anything to be able to gamble, I once saw an addict who looked very anxious and confused, financially he was previously well off and his family looked happy. However, the more I got here, I started to think that he was an addict because what I saw before was now the opposite, his family was also feeling the impact. And it can be concluded that it is very terrible if someone is addicted without realizing it, he will lose all his possessions and this can cause problems for himself and his family.

You have a good point here only if you can really manage yourself I mean if you will not fall into addiction for sure you will be able to sustain the needs of your family and just allocate portions of your money for your gambling session, but we don't know what gambling can impact to you when you got attached too much and engage that deep, it can always lead you to addictions.

With that, even how good you are in hiding your participation it will be brought out by your actions. Most of the time, addicted gambler turned things into an un-controllable situation.

I can appreciate your perspective. Since you earned it, it's your money. What right does anyone else have to dictate how you use or spend it? But have you ever given it any thought as to why people might be concerned? Yes, it's none of their concern, but occasionally, it's more about you than it is about the money. It's one thing to gamble responsibly, but if you're getting so into it that you have to vehemently announce, "I don't care," it makes me question. I occasionally gamble, but I'm aware of the risks. Hey, it doesn't make it right or bad if no one has expressed disapproval or celebrated. It just indicates that they haven't expressed any opinions. Perhaps they're waiting on you to make a realisation. Just keep in mind that controlling yourself, not the other way around, is more important than worrying about the money
