Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[DabsPoorVersion]

Keeping our gambling habits a secret is very important because it ensures that someone is not influenced by us, especially when it comes to those closest to us and we don't want them to become addicted to gambling, usually people who are new to casinos usually have high curiosity, therefore  It's best to distance ourselves from relatives or friends, at least playing when we're alone is much better.  rather than playing online casinos when with friends.

If we want to keep our gambling habits a secret, we must also have good self-control so that we don't gamble excessively and lose a lot of money. We have to prevent this from happening so that we can gamble comfortably without anyone knowing and can also avoid losing a lot and being addicted to gambling. And because by keeping our gambling habits a secret, we must be able to gamble responsibly. Those who are new to gambling do have a high curiosity. But they must be able to control themselves because novice gamblers are vulnerable to the temptations that exist in gambling and can make them forget the purpose of gambling.

I agree with you that when gambling, I have good self-control so as not to get lost in the game, because I am well aware that gambling is just to fill the void and look for other activities from my real busyness.  talking about friends or relatives so they don't find out I always play alone rather than openly playing in front of them, because it will trigger someone who sees it if we let them see when we gamble, I also always limit the money for gambling and which money is for living needs, if money  put these together, it will be dangerous for my life, the advice you give or everyone on this forum is always my benchmark when playing gambling to be more careful when playing..

Does "it will trigger someone", it might encourage other family members to gamble more? If that's the case, it's definitely possible. Especially if they see you having fun and winning consistently, they might be more likely to try gambling and play more than you do. This is one other reason why we should really keep our gambling activities to ourselves. Other relatives that might be influenced by our gambling activities may destroy their lives. No one would want to be responsible for anything bad happening to our relatives because of our influence.

People decide to hide their habit of gambling because of different reasons, such as how other people see them and the possible outcome of their actions. Some gamblers are also not proud due to social stigma or negative perceptions. While others choose privacy to avoid problems with family and friends. It's important to note that people have different perceptions of gambling. In the end, choosing to hide that you gamble is a personal choice.

This is a valid point.

It's still depend on the person whether he wants others to know his gambling habits or just keep it to himself. It's really a personal decision and others should not meddle into someone else's business. As long as the person is gambling responsibly, and doesn't negatively impacts the people around him because of negligence, then I think they should be left as is. You are right when you mentioned that gamblers hide their activities for various reasons. If they want to open up to someone close to them, then better so that they can also receive criticisms when they need to. But if they don't, let's just respect their choice. After all, it's still a matter of making your life private or known to public.

Good point about hiding and feelings. People hide things they do because they are either feel uncomfortable (like feeling ashamed of it) what they do, or the things they do has illegal context. Is gambling illegal? In some countries yes, in some not. I would understand if person hide that he gamble in country where it is illegal. About feelings, if I am an adult, why would I be ashamed of gambling? Or feel uncomfortable from doing something that brings me fun. Seems absurd to me.

But many do feel ashamed about their gambling habit, even if they are adults. In the first place, gambling is something not to be brag about or announced to anyone you know, maybe just to your trusted and close friends. The root cause is the stereotyping created by many people or the crowd; they think that gambling is illegal and bad, but the ones who create that description are the people who do it; there is no gambling addict if those people control themselves; there are no crimes related to gambling if they discipline themselves; in short, the people themselves are the reason why gambling is being categorised as an illegal or bad habit. Well, we can't please all people, so if you don't want to be judged, then it's better to hide it as I said gambling habit is something not to brag, keep it low and keep it safe.

Not everyone sees gambling as a good game. Most players grew in environments where gambling is not promoted as a decent activity. Living for many years with those ill thoughts on gambling can affect the perspective of the players. It's not simple he'd forget about those responses he's heard people say about gambling in his neighborhood or his family. Even when he's free or stays alone he'd find himself involuntarily hiding his gambling activities. Compared to a gambler that grew up with gambling designated people. So, it's best to say that the player isn't prepared psychologically to gamble. Such people exist in other stigmatized life activities. They wouldn't want people to have some stigma on them, and they have care about what the society would say regarding their behavior. I'd add that when in such a situation, staying active in learning the positive meaning of what we do changes our thinking, most times the idea of the society is always wrong.

It's not fine to have stigma on some certain type of people, because they engage in gambling. Since no crime is associated to it, or anybody getting harmed in the process, gamblers shouldn't feel attacked by the society to an extent of hiding our habit. However, the pressure society has on gamblers, is not much compared in the previous decades, when lots of factors like religion wasn't and still not on the side of gamblers. Online casinos have reduced the rate people go to casino or some gaming houses to stake money. Where they'll be seen by lots of people who go about saying all sort of things about the person. In today's world, players should learn to speak up and don't feel ashamed of gambling. Provided the gambler is not addicted and acts responsible why should he hide his habit.

Wisdom is profitable to direct, hide your gambling habits when it is needed and make it open where you think it's necessary, don't just be a dumb of the way the circumstances around you are, at least open your eyes to see the way things are, there's no essence in trying to please those that don't care about what you do, look closely into the situation before you apply your way in, this is about the way people will approach you and respect you for whom you're and not by what you do.

People who post here should meet people who post in Never gamble in front of your kids. Together you going to elevate gambling to such high level of evil and addiction, that I am afraid gambling soon going to be second thing to be banned on the forum

People who say gambling is so bad and raises immediate addiction, and parallel wear gambling signatures, how do you sleep at night? Do you feel any guilt for making it more popular?

If we think about gambling and secret, how often do we even share info about such hobby, to worry it being a secret? Those who gamble usually dont announce it on public, did not call for viewers, did not involve anyone to do the same. People just gamble. No need to make big drama out of it. People should not have to do special care to keep it secret. Just dont talk about it and that is it. There is no need to come to everyone and say that you keep your gambling habit as a secret.

Actually there's nothing to be hidden on which it would really be just that normal that there would really be those people who do really love on touching up others lives without even trying to look on their own on which i cant blame out into those people who would really be that skeptical on showing off their actions publicly just because they dont really like that other people would be saying other things.
It is really just that depending on a certain individual on which there are ones who are really that loving on touching other peoples lives and there are ones who dont really care.
Keeping it a secret isnt really that necessary if you are really just that playing for fun and not really that being impulsive towards it. People do messes up their lives
because of wrong decisions and this is why they do really end up on getting fucked up in the end.

Yes what you said is very true, for the problem of whether gamblers will keep their gambling habits secret or not all of that really depends on themselves and depends on their comfort, although overall gambling has a fairly negative viewpoint in the eyes of society but I think it doesn't matter if they show their gambling activities to others if they have a good gambling approach and are also one of the gamblers who have full responsibility for this habit.

The point is like you said that as long as they don't harm others by always gambling using their own budget without borrowing from others or whatever I don't think people should criticize or assume they are people who have bad behavior even though they are involved in gambling, it's all about choice and everyone has the right and freedom in terms of choosing something.

Maybe if we live in a toxic environment, it could have social effects on us and maybe also on our families. like our children who may receive the impact of teasing from neighbors or playmates about us being gamblers.
it's not a big deal if the environment doesn't interfere. and we also do not harm them. but there are impacts that may be received by people close to us.
I personally prefer to remain silent and only talk about gambling with people who actually gamble. for everyone else, it's better not to.

[Dewi Aries]

The overall viewpoint of society on gambling activities is negative, not least because they see from the many facts that people end up in bad situations in life as a result of being involved in gambling, although I would say you will still be fine by having the right approach to gambling but still if the public knows that you are involved then they will most likely think that you are one of the people who will be the next victim of this gambling activity.

Therefore I think there is no point in exposing this gambling activity to others especially to people who do not gamble or even who are against gambling activities, because it will only create a bad image from the views of others to you. So of course it's better to just keep it a secret with a note that you must have a good approach in your gambling involvement, because I'm sure all gamblers don't want to end up in a slump as a result of the wrong gambling approach and the other thing is to remain guarded and firm in applying risk management.

Not that really new and not really that shocking anymore on which there would really be those kind of negative impressions and views towards gambling on which it isnt really that new anymore into this society on which there would really be always those negative things to say about. This is why its not really that shocking that people would really be that be secretive into the gambling dealing that they are really that doing in silent.
They dont really like on getting judged and this is why you cant blame them on not to show themselves that they are getting involved with gambling specially into the people around.
Even into our relatives or family, we would really be skeptical on letting them see on what we are doing because once they do saw that you are involved with gambling then they would be
automatically having those negative impressions that you are really that addicted and have that wrecked life in terms of finances. lol

Yes overall you have also confirmed that gambling has a bad or even very bad point of view in the eyes of society, and another driver is that not all countries legalize this activity so with this then obviously the public's point of view will be even stronger towards gambling is a bad activity that must be avoided, and also this is the reason why most gamblers prefer to keep their gambling activities secret because they don't want to have a bad image or view from the surrounding community.

Yes that's right, not only from the point of view of others but it also includes the point of view of our own family will be negative towards us because of our gambling activities, so it's best that there is no other way that we have to keep our gambling activities secret, after all gambling is only for enjoyment and not for display, you will not get any points from your decision to reveal everything to others and more likely it will only make your image bad in the eyes of others.

Nothing shocking and its always been like this on which people would really be having that kind of impression on which they would really be focusing into its cons or effects rather than on seeing into its actual
purpose on why it would be existed but well we cant really be able to deny those persons on which having that kind of molded kind of believe towards gambling is because we do really see those rampant
behaviors or really having those tons of conditions on which people do really mess up their lives because of gambling rather than on seeing on the positive that it could bring out.

The number of those who do become addicted and mess up their lives comparing to those who have none is really that in huge gap and this is why it wont really be shocking that
they would really be completely be making those kind of generalization in relation to this on which it is really that something to be in default.
If you dont like on getting judged then it would be better to play alone and silently or not known specially if you do live in a place where there are lots of judgmental persons.

You're right. People hide their gambling habits because of varied reasons. It is not only about the bad stigma in our society, people hide it may be caused by other reasons. Some gamblers don't want their children to follow their gambling habits. While other may keep it secretly because they don't want the wife to feel worried about the habits. Yes, some people prefer to hide it to avoid bad impacts on their close people. I think we can't blame them, it is their right to hide or to tell others about the gambling habits.

We don't need to debate whether we must tell others about our gambling habits or not, it is purely individual rights and personal choice. I think we are free to choose hiding our gambling habits. However, we must know that it also has consequence. If there are no people know our gambling habits, we must deal with ourselves when we have problems on them. For the example, if we are addicted, then no one can help us because they don't know our habits at all.

Thats true mate and I think it also depends on the nature of your society too, because where am from gambling is actually a fun activity and people tend to be even proud of their gambling habits, I mean there are family that even gamble and it's seem actually normal and reason with me if someone is staying in such an environment would the person even care about whether to keep his habits secret or not? So I think the environment also matter because for the case of a place where this is actually opposite of what I gave insight on then I think definitely there would be contemplation on the secrecy of their gambling habits.

[Onyeeze]

That's same like how someone need to keep Bitcoin or their wealth as secret as possible.

I don't see how these two variables gambling and bitcoin sink well together even though one might decide keeping both secret in their right. Am keeping my bitcoin life secret because of security reasons not to be caught up in any cyber or physical attack because the idea would be that as a BTC holder am a rich person. But with gambling you can be a gambler and still be broke and fluke, cause it's not a means of income in anyway for those that understand.. There's no financial threat like it would be for a bitcoiner making himself open to public.

a normal circumstances I think that many people do keep their very secret because they don't want to review it to anybody even some people to who is a gambler they also keep their gambling strategies severely secret so that nobody will know whatever thing they are doing all the method they use in Winning gamblance so it is honorable ing or method of keeping your Bitcoin in your wallet that can review whatever secret then have and then when they review their secret they are open it or their fellow guys will be able to understand their source of winning gambling and the source of making money

Keeping your gambling habit secret is optional as it varies amongst gamblers. It all depends on the person gambling. Your point of keeping it a secret for fear of influencing others. I don’t think it would any fault of yours if someone else get influenced without you putting any effort into doing so.
People enjoy gambling with friends as it could be enjoyable winning and losing with friends around having cheers and boos when there’s a win and when there’s a loss.

There are some activities that aren’t just fun when done alone.

[borovichok]

Keeping your gambling habit secret is optional as it varies amongst gamblers. It all depends on the person gambling.

I agree with this opinion, there are reasons why most people prefer to gamble in secret. From experience, some of these reasons will suffice here;

First, when family and friends don't support gambling, the gambler will prefer to gamble in secret to avoid misunderstandings with family or friends.

In addition, most gamblers must have shown a negative attitude after losing a bet and then vowed never to gamble again. Since they are addicted, they prefer to gamble in secret not to make it open to friends he promised that he will not gamble again.

Furthermore, it is more convenient to gamble in secret, especially in sports betting. Someone can easily and conveniently place a bet at home instead of going to a shop.

The above reasons justify that keeping gambling a secret depends on the personal idiosyncrasies of the gambler. However, in my thinking, it is best to gamble in secret since it will be bad to exhibit obnoxious behavior in public after losing a bet and that will make people attribute any misfortune to you to gambling since they know you are a gambler but when people don't know they find it hard to relate gambling to any misfortune that may happen to the bettor.

The influenced person has to pay the price of being responsible for his gambling activities. Hiding your gambling habit for the sake of some other people getting influenced by you, is cool, but that's not a thing to bother about. They're other reasons why people shouldn't disclose their gambling habit. Not saying yours isn't good enough, at least you've got the people at heart and won't feel comfortable letting others go into gambling prematurely and get addicted. By the way, depending on your personality, don't know what your response would be if someone points fingers at you that you caused his gambling addiction. Like many people already did recently. Especially in the forum where there are few threads discussing about people regretting and blaming others for their failure to be responsible gamblers.

Maintaining a good family and retaining the love we have for our children, can be a better reason why a gambler should hide his habit. Our family may not understand the reason behind why we gamble. And it could cause some trouble between spouses. Avoiding such trouble requires that a gambler keeps his habit mute. Gambling alone isn't fun, as you said Iroh, yet hiding from people won't stop the person from enjoying gambling with friends. The aim is not hiding it from everyone, but the few people who he doesn't want to know of his gambling lifestyle. People do this due to the type of life they portray to the society. Disclosing or gambling openly for everyone to know can only invade the person's personally lifestyle in the society. And the gambler won't be comfortable around his environment, based on what people say about him being a gambler.

[panganib999]

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?.

I say if we're talking about normal gambling habits where you gamble every now and again, I think it's not something that you should really go out of your own way to tell people about, especially since there's no real risk at all. It's still something good to let people in on especially those close to you since they can easily check you out whenever, but if you're casually gambling I don't really find the reason why I'd bother people about it.

Now the story's different when you're gambling a little more seriously, either by choice or because you're finding yourself in a deep rabbit hole that you can't easily get out of courtesy of past gambling mishaps and whatnot. If this is the case then it's much more important that you tell people closest to you about what's going on. Regardless of shame or whatever. For one, this is usually the instances in your gambling journey when you're putting a serious dent not only on your bankroll but quite possibly even your finances as well, if you're with a partner they deserve to know where your money's going so they can budget or in certain cases, help you with your addiction.

There's no shame in asking for help especially when you need it. So don't be too stingy to ask for help. Trust me when I say these people that care about you would rather see you recover then pick yourself back up than get all the money you lost and then die in the process.

[wheelz1200]

It might not be that they are not proud just that they want to keep it separate from their public lives.  Maybe you surround yourself with people who are also gamblers amd don't want to get wrapped up in theor circle of gambling.  Meaning you would be more apt to gamble with them and not what you enjoy gambling on.  And other times it's just easier to seperate.

[Julien_Olynpic]

I think many people should keep their gambling a secret simply because they have nothing to brag about. Either there is nothing to boast about yet or there will never be anything to boast about. When a person is long-term successful, it is usually difficult for him to restrain himself from demonstrating the material results of his success. This is a natural human desire. It’s as if a person proves to himself and those around him that he doesn’t just spend a huge amount of time on the game. But in most cases there is still nothing to be proud of.

[ethereumhunter]

I agree with you that when gambling, I have good self-control so as not to get lost in the game, because I am well aware that gambling is just to fill the void and look for other activities from my real busyness.  talking about friends or relatives so they don't find out I always play alone rather than openly playing in front of them, because it will trigger someone who sees it if we let them see when we gamble, I also always limit the money for gambling and which money is for living needs, if money  put these together, it will be dangerous for my life, the advice you give or everyone on this forum is always my benchmark when playing gambling to be more careful when playing..

Every gambler must have self-control so that they can gamble within their limits. If they lose their limits, it will make them lose their money and it will be difficult to recover their losses. If they still choose to hide their gambling activities, they really have to pay attention to this issue of self-control and not lose it because that means they could endanger their finances. Once they lose self-control, everything will fall apart, and they can use more money to gamble so that they won't have any money. Limiting money for gambling is important so that we don't gamble excessively and also that we can have money for other daily needs. That means we can balance the allocation of gambling funds and prepare them for daily needs.
