Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[Bitinity]

It is not that I am not proud of what I am doing… It has nothing to do with it. It is just, we don’t need to tell everyone about everything we do. Especially the money stuff. Gambling, investing, business secrets, trading…

I don’t usually talk about anything that makes me or loses me money. Talking about it usually affects the situation in a bad way and I don’t want that. I want the things to stay clean nice and tidy. I can make or lose money while I am gambling and it is nobody’s business but me.

We need to keep our secrets to ourselves sometimes.

Exactly. When it comes to gambling especially when we are winning huge amount of money, most people will keep it as a secret. I'm sure people who are lucky enough to win huge amount of money proud of what they get but they will not tell everyone about it. Just like huge lottery winners, they do not want to show themselves in public because of privacy and security reason. If OP win a huge amount of money from gambling and he keeps it as a secret because he cares about his own secureness, I will not call him as a man who is not proud of what he does/gets because I understand that it is his own right to do anything with his life.

If you are not proud of what you are doing then why are you doing it? People have every right to say whatever they want, you aren't living on what they say, do not care and live your life, I am into gambling and I don't see need to tell anyone but even if they know I don't give a damn what they say after.

If you know what you are doing they won't be able to say that 'they are right' about one day, gamble responsibly so that they won't be able to shame you, I know someone who was a gambler, he never told anyone until he lost some money, that's where everyone living in same compound  as him start giving him some attitude.

He later moved out of that house, I did told him why he did that, either you are failing or winning keep it to yourselves, some people are already waiting for such an opportunity so that they can shame you.

[ethereumhunter]

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.

As far as I know, Everyone has different ways when dealing with something like hiding what they did. There are some people that I saw blatantly with what he thought was quite embarrassing. Maybe in deep his heart, gambling is bad, but he doesn't care about that and continues to show it to the public. And, maybe in a country where gambling is forbidden, they still hide it on public, but in a country where gambling is something normal, they can show up it's even if they have refused from people and think gambling is a disaster.

Yes you are right that mate every one of us here I had different way of handling our emotions and our every step. So if we are addicted to a specific thing then we have different way to secure our secrets but when the time comes out we can not hide it forever which is no one can hide his/her secret forever. That's why for me it's better to tell anyone that we are involve in gambling or anything that we get addicted.

But if we are addicted, it would be better to tell people close to us so they can help us overcome their gambling addiction. It's not good to hide your gambling addiction from others because you can fall deeper into gambling without being saved. But if we just play gambling like other gamblers and there are no significant problems, we can still hide our gambling activities, especially if in our environment we cannot accept the presence of a gambler in his environment. And the reasons indeed depend on each person and we cannot impose our reasons on others.

People want to show their achievement so they keep celebrating and share to other people but is this ideal? For me not because you are exposing your self that you won a large amount of money and your life may be at risk because you know how people getting greedy and envy to the things they don't have. So ideal to keep it secret to make sure your safety and prevent people want to have part of your money.

Not really sure how you can keep it a secret if you win big. I mean obviously if you have the money now then maybe you will buy something that people might think how the hell did you able to to that if you don't have the money? So there could be speculations that you might win big in casinos or lotteries. So very difficult to hide it in my opinion.

And when there is fire, then there is smoke. Of course you can play alone in your bedroom and not tell anyone. But what if you have friends and you tell them that you are gambling online and last night you win big? So for me, too difficult to not let anyone about your gambling activities.

Well, I gamble online, and almost nobody knows that I gamble except for some of my internet friends whom I have never met. People in my country see gambling as bad because gambling addiction leads to doing wrong things. At least, this is what they think because we have seen many people sell their assets to gamble, and they end up losing them.

I gamble online, and I never share this with people in real life. The only exception is my brother who gambles as well, and he is unlikely to share it with anyone else. So, nobody knows that I gamble.

[kamvreto]

Even just a friendly gamble when we are just young, we just copy it to others, and deep inside us, we really don't know what the meaning of that is, but again, there are really people or some people persuading others to gamble because they can get a cut when the person they invited deposits money. Also, religion is really not involved in it because some religions have banned it, and you're right, others still gamble, which means it is on them as they know that they violated their rules.

Every religion has guidelines and rules and each person only has to choose whether to follow those guidelines or not. This is a personal matter that cannot be a reason to ban someone. You just need to work on yourself and just warn him that excessive gambling will not lead to anything good.
People who invite to gamble always have the advantage of everyone who is invited and joins the casino. back to the topic discussed, secrecy for gambling is everyone's choice. If you are happy to be said to be a gambler then that is not a problem, but if you want to keep it a secret, then you have to take care not to let other people know about gambling activities.

I respect a lot when it comes to religions, culture or something like that, because one cannot get so involved in these things, because for some it is so delicate that it can mean that later those people suffer making many sacrifices, and that is not the idea. , I have seen many things regarding religions, especially those people that I call fanatics, I have come across many of them in life, and they say a number of things when you tell them or talk about the casino, sports betting , a lady the other day told me that this was demonic, and I oh please but why do you say that? She told me that the devil likes those things that people do, and I told her, well, I don't see it that way, I didn't argue with her much because she was an older person, so sometimes these types of people make a lot of comments, they form gossip and only for that reason it can reach the ears of people who like to take what belongs to others (thieves) so only for that reason sometimes it is better to be silent.

Now, in my normal, ordinary life like that of others, I always talk to my friends about bitcoin, I talk to them about casinos, I give them advice and some of them are very interested, in fact I also talk to them about the forum, but because they don't know much about the economy, gambling, bitcoin, crypto, well they don't dare to enter because it scares them, that is something that happens to many, however when they are told about bitcoin and casinos, obviously it is money It means money and most of them are interested, only one of them differs well, he tells them, one of them that is bitcoin can also be used to save, for investment, to trade, also the same bitcoin can be used to play in lso casino, but he was told about the risks of casinos, that many things can happen if they do it well.

Besides, I give you the advice that has always made me win, which is to put money in a casino of what you are willing to lose, so that they do not get excited about winning or that they think that the money that is put in a casino is mandatory multiplies, but no.

Things might differ where you are and where he is. It's true that whoever says bad things is not living their life, but still, one has to care about what society says about him and what they think. It's not like someone is proud or not proud of what they are doing. It varies from place to place, a society from another society. For example, there is no problem if you drink with your family members in India.

When it comes to Bangladesh, most of the family never accept their family members to drink. There could be some exceptions. In this case, you cannot say stop drinking if you are not proud of drinking. You can say whatever you want. But you are not there in their position.

I can only hide it when it's found illegal in my country. But it's legal and we're absolutely free to bet as much as you want, but always bet responsibly and staying far away from roubles. Gambling is a regular activities that functions in the country, so there's no need to be frightened by anything and I have a reputation to protect. Keeping my gambling habits a secret, perhaps it depends on the relationship you have with the people you're with. Most of my friends knows that often place wagers on games, mostly the same set of my peers that indulges in gambling.

Most people will hide their gambling activities, especially if it is illegal because they don't want to be caught by the authorities. We can get into trouble if we gamble, but if we can play online gambling, we will still hide it because we don't want other people to know about our gambling habits. And it is true what you said that it depends on the conditions and situations in your environment because if your environment cannot accept a gambler, you will not show your gambling habit. But if your environment accepts gamblers, there's a good chance you'll show them that you gamble too.

I don't think keeping your gambling habit a secret is common. Is your argument based on personal experience? While it's possible that some people do this, I believe it's rare and unusual. Consider a study shared here previously: men tend to gamble to enhance their image in society. Therefore, based on this, we can initially assume that fewer people keep it a secret compared to those who want others to know they are gambling.

Well, it's not totally a secret but I don't prefer to be vocal about it as well and I don't even care about my image in the society because my choices doesn't involve them and I don't do anything in my life while thinking if it would please them because no matter what we do, people will always have a comment about us and that is a fact that we should face. I reckon that we can be more free if we show that we aren't affected as time will come that they will get tired of what they think or say as well.

People who are too fanatical about their religion are always like that, think negative things are too much, like you say that casinos are called devils or even places that will take players straight to hell. Even though they are not aware of their own mistakes, playing in gambling games that look normal, but they do it.
Finding people like this really has to stop arguing because we won't win with arguments that they always associate with religion.
I often encounter some fanatical people who don't even give a good solution and even keep cursing me when playing a gambling game.

It's not the wrong one,you just want to keep the secret of gambling is your opinion for the privacy.But you should be careful with the money you are using for the gambling,because you should not use the black money to keep them secret.Because the black money in the gambling is never accepted one,it's strongly against many of the gambling sites.Not all the people get addicted to the gambling,only few people try to get money return from the gambling and once they get some loss.Loss and profit from the gambling is common in the gambling.But people get worry on loss and get over excited on the small profit.But being neutral at all the situation is the most important one.

The thing is that only when men achieve a certain success they can then show unafraid of consequences that they do gamble and show that publicly.I know a lot of men though,who happen to be my colleagues and I know they gamble but I am only one of the few people who know as we gamble together yet in society they never show it,they don't go to big casinos in the city and they prefer to play online,we sometimes share our sport bet ideas.In most cases when people are not successful there is nothing to show off and they keep their gambling habit as a secret.

It has become something natural when a man shows off his success from gambling, even more so when young men cannot control not opening up about their gambling activities.
Even though some parts of the country allow gambling but for the parts of the country where it is prohibited it is better without having to show off your winnings because they won't care what we say.
The existence of online gambling helps us to gamble without other people knowing and I am worried that if someone gambles to win big and publish it it will provoke unwanted actions.

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.

As far as I know, Everyone has different ways when dealing with something like hiding what they did. There are some people that I saw blatantly with what he thought was quite embarrassing. Maybe in deep his heart, gambling is bad, but he doesn't care about that and continues to show it to the public. And, maybe in a country where gambling is forbidden, they still hide it on public, but in a country where gambling is something normal, they can show up it's even if they have refused from people and think gambling is a disaster.

Yes you are right that mate every one of us here I had different way of handling our emotions and our every step. So if we are addicted to a specific thing then we have different way to secure our secrets but when the time comes out we can not hide it forever which is no one can hide his/her secret forever. That's why for me it's better to tell anyone that we are involve in gambling or anything that we get addicted.

But if we are addicted, it would be better to tell people close to us so they can help us overcome their gambling addiction. It's not good to hide your gambling addiction from others because you can fall deeper into gambling without being saved. But if we just play gambling like other gamblers and there are no significant problems, we can still hide our gambling activities, especially if in our environment we cannot accept the presence of a gambler in his environment. And the reasons indeed depend on each person and we cannot impose our reasons on others.

Am very sure that part of the causes of addiction is when living a quite and private lifestyle of a gambler, but Immediately the gambler sees that things have gone out of hands, they tends to voice out for help towards their addiction, there must also be a good and expected perfect gambling experience we should live as gamblers we shouldn't take the advantage of privacy to our own negative influence which may affect us because we abused the privilege in privacy to get us addicted, we must play with caution.

I am proud of what I do, especially something that results in an achievement, income, or anything related to something that leads to self-esteem. in betting, I don't get the gist of the word "proud", which has to do with gambling. I mean, gambling is a type of entertainment in the modern era that anyone can play. most importantly, that someone has met the requirements to do gambling. the point is, I don't get the essence of the meaning of the word "proud" which refers to gambling. let's just say I won the bet, I reacted casually. most importantly, we enjoy the sessions in gambling that we do.

Talking about the secrets of gambling habits that we do, I think it's a normal thing for many people who like this hobby to do. There are various factors that make people gamble secretly, in other words maintain secrecy. as the OP said, it could be that someone maintains their reputation and all kinds of things so that they are not looked down upon by the people closest to them, or their environment and I think they have the right to do so.

For me, gambling is a fun part of the hobby. if it's not fun, it means I won't gamble. in this era, gambling is not something that is taboo. there are some people who are just curious to try it, there are many who don't care about gambling. there are those who are victims of addiction, there are also those who play just for entertainment and fun. everyone has the right to do this, but what we need to know, that gambling has risks in it. and if one wants to gamble, one must be prepared to lose. for me, gambling is a matter of privacy, without having to be known by the public. not because of worry about the negative assumptions, but rather that gambling is a personal pleasure.

Personally I think keeping ones gambling habbit a secret has advantageous effect and disadvantageous effect as well and I will elaborate a little on it.
The good thing about keeping ones gambling habbit a secret is that whenever the said gambler happens to win big winnings, no body would know about it thereby reducing the chances of being attacked or forced to make ones winning with people. But the bad side of it is that if the person happens to be gambling addict who tends not to control himself about gambling, he'll rarely stop the addict because of the fact that closed friends and relatives who were supposed to call him to order are ignorant of the fact that the said person is a gambler
