Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[dezoel]

For some people, they prefer to be known as a gambler, and for others they would not want their habits to be known by others, or even their own family. I say this based on what I have seen, they are proud of their gambling, and some are secretive. There will be many reasons why they don't want to be known as a person who gambles, one of which is the environment in which they live. We know that nowadays not all countries legalize gambling, even gambling is legal but there are designated places.

I think it will come back to their own personality, whether they are comfortable with being open or more comfortable when they are closed.

I don't think that really has anything to do with the legality of Bitcoin within a gamblers country if they don't want to disclose that they are a gambler but it mostly is because of the environment and the mindset of people that live around them because a lot of people don't consider gambling a good thing at a lot of places which becomes the reason for a lot of gamblers to hide their gambling activities and keep it a secret so that they are not seen as a bad person.

And, people that don't hide their gambling activities basically don't care about what people might think about them, because they know they are not doing anything illegal or wrong and they know what is good and what is bad for them, so they don't care what people might think about them.

[ethereumhunter]

Yes, that's right, because in my opinion people who have a lot of money will be respected and respected around them, but if the finances are lacking then it's the other way around, and I also agree with your opinion, if you lose at gambling, it's better for us to just keep quiet so we don't become a burden and make family members sad and if we get a win we can tell about it. Yes, even though in gambling we cannot predict, at least we have tried to win and are always careful.

You are right, by having a lot of money, of course in our social life we will be highly respected by various groups. Money cannot buy everything, but something that we need will certainly require money. I have also felt something like what you said in gambling I experienced defeat and many of my friends knew about it and it would be a mockery for me because I experienced defeat, now in gambling I will keep my gambling activities a secret, both wins and losses. Be careful in gambling, indeed it will be better to gamble than gamble with emotional states.

Becoming someone respected doesn't seem like money, but that's what's happening around us. But I see some people don't have much money but the people around them also respect them. But if people see someone gambling around, they will immediately say they don't come near that person or we will become like him. That is something that we often encounter in society and maybe that's why people who play gambling feel they should hide their gambling activities from others and not say it. They do not want to receive uncomfortable words from others and will pretend they are not gambling.

And it is normal if people still hide their gambling activities from other people. But no matter how cleverly we hide it, others will find out one day. So we better stay careful in keeping our secrets. Maybe our gambling activities are only for ourselves and not for public consumption.

But gambling habit is another case that we don't have to keep secret, especially from our family. They have the right also to know what makes us busy and besides, whatever happens to us like getting into trouble because of our addiction, they were to help us.

Well, I could say that I was different from you and probably different from others too because I believe that our family is a part of our life. Some things would be kept secret and alone but the majority will be known to them as well. I'd preferred to tell my family as trusted them most rather than telling my friend which could possibly spread more about the issue.

In my case, I have been playing poker for many years and my close relatives know about it, but it is a topic that is not usually discussed. It is like a taboo subject. I guess because everyone knows or has heard of someone who has had problems with gambling and they think that one day it could happen to me. This despite the fact that my finances are going well and I don't have any economic problems at all.

I suppose that if I went on television as a big poker star it would be a different story, but since it is a relatively private thing where nobody sees what I do at the tables, they feel insecure.

Well, maybe your family doesn't touch on that topic because they also have Respect for you and that is something that can be very delicate for them, also, since you keep your finances in order, they can't get too involved either , it's something that can sometimes cause them a taboo subject , but as time goes by and they realize how things are with casino games, they will realize that it is normal, for me it is that they do not want to go into details because some problems may occur, as long as There is an exchange of opinions and that there are different points of view, because things can heat up and perhaps the relationship that they have with each other will deteriorate, and since they are family, it is better not to touch on those issues, because not even they can change you , but you can. To them, that's like a topic when it comes to politics , many people don't understand it and they tend to get upset when they have ways of thinking that are very different from them.

What you say about playing poker and if someone comes out on TV wow that would be something very cool, because there they will see you differently and they may even admire you a lot and accept it in a way that they didn't think , but it's not worth it, I think that as a poker player as long as you do what you like, well you should keep doing it, being a famous person is alerting thieves and bad people to persecute you and your family , sometimes things tend to be better like this in a quiet way so that there are no problems that are generated later, the majority of people in the world are envious, the percentage of people who are happy because others are doing well is very small, it is difficult to find people like that .

However, the one you give is a great example, because just like you, there must be many similar cases where some do not dare to say it out of fear or for other reasons that can be very determining, there are times when in couples, women do not like that, and there are some who do not give Importance to them and even that can be a Reason for Separation.

There is certain politics inside a family and for someone who is not dependent and almost like a big shot in the family, no one will bat an eye whatever they do with their money. Playing poker could just be a taboo but probably behind his back, some jealous guys in the family (inlaws usually) are just waiting for his failure. You never know, some of them think their sister's money is their money.

I would be proud of my gambling also but I'm not showing it to anyone in my family not even to my wife. But I can talk so much about sports or even gambling strategies whenever we play cards.

The truth is I see your opinion as good advice, there are things that should not be discussed within the family because it can bring differences , with respect to the wife , well , also , even though you can live with a wife and she is your companion for what Whatever, sometimes you have to have a certain space, a certain privacy about things, sometimes women at any time can use that to say that we can spend that money and not on something that they need, the truth is that it has happened to me , and that happens to me for Talking too much ,  in that case you are absolutely right, there are things that one should not share like this, something very different, which is when we talk with our friends, that even while Drinking beer one always tells things what he does , the s he doesn't do , the way to have Fun and a fun topic of conversation Always comes out of nowhere , and that's when we talk about Poker, casinos , everything that has to do with fun, sometimes they are more trustworthy some friends that the same family in that Aspect, it sounds strange, it is Incredible , but it is the reality.

Without going too far, I have an Uncle and his son , who were Previously good, good people, especially if I find something that can give me money, I share it because I like that people around me also benefit from me, and I like that, but it happens that not with them , they have Shared many things where they have won, but I was disappointed in the way they denied me a Business Model, that they knew that at that time I needed quick money for an emergency, Well, my daughter was about to be born, and I lacked money , and they Earned a lot , they were not Able to tell me or Share anything, so these things bother me, for that Reason I also see that sometimes you can count on yourself and some friends , in bad times friends who go out, those are friends, for that Reason Sometimes Certain things must be kept Secret because in most People, whether they are family or not, envy is born , which I Find demeaning that people Feel, because at Least for me , I'm Happy if anyone in the World does Well, it is like that , but not Everyone is like that.

[Blitzboy]

I have a friend that is doing the opposite of this LOL. For context, his family and friends knows that he plays casino and he has a stable source of income, he said that no one care about him for doing gambling.

There are some families that see gambling as a normal activity, while others see it as a bad activity. If you are from a family that doesn’t care if you gamble or not, then I don’t think anything is wrong with sharing gambling activities, but if some family members know that you are a gambler, then their relationship with you is going to change completely. They will start seeing you as an irresponsible person, and they will want to stop associating themselves with you. That’s why you don’t have to always make your gambling activities publicly, you should do that depending on where you’re from.

Why single out gambling? And who gets to decide the normal in society anyway? The very fact that you're classifying some activities as "bad" based on family perceptions is ludicrous. If families were our compass for morality, a lot of innovations and revolutions would never have occurred.

Why should you cower and hide your activities just because of how others might react? Shouldnt personal choices, as long as they dont harm others, be respected and left to the individual's discretion? If your family decides to change their relationship with you based on your personal interests, isnt that a reflection of their narrow-mindedness, not your irresponsibility?

[Comingdown]

Maybe they are hiding it because they know their family doesn't agree with it?
We know that many of us are in this situation, the family doesn't know about your gambling because you know that they will be angry with you. I can say this because I also know someone, because he is so addicted to gambling, he even used his family's money and he bet on his car just to get back what he lost. Of course his wife was so angry with him and he kicked him out and even his children were also angry with what he did.

Don't destroy your family just for a gambling hobby because it's not worth it. If that kind of hobby is not okay with your family, there are many others out there. If you are also having trouble stopping and that you are addicted, you can tell your family so they can help you. You have a family you can reach out to, you are not alone. Just tell them your problem so they can support you.

Very much with all you have said, Gambling have sure destroyed and separated alot of families around the world, I have a friend as well, who got separated from his family way back 2018 due to over gambling, and always using the money meant for important things in the family to gamble, at a point, the wife got tired, packed her belongings, took their only son and left, traveled to God knows where, changed her phone lines, and till today, we are yet to locate where the lady now lives with the boy, the family of the lady have refused to say anything, we have stopped searching, though, though my friend have never been himself since then, being some one who loved his son so much, today, he no longer gambles as frequent as before, Infact he has totally changed, but unfortunately, this much needed change came late rather, as he has already lost his family, most especially, his son..

Gambling is good, but should never be allowed to destroy things that are really precious to us, like myself, I gamble, but since I discovered my wife does not like it, I told her I've stopped gambling, but I still do it secretly from time to time, and I always make sure to never attempt gambling with money meant for the family.

On that last part of your statement, being careful if the society is not open for any gambling habits may help to avoid this criticism that always present in that kind of situation, though there are gamblers who always find ways to secretly continue their activities and for some who are open in any situation that they are involved.

In terms of respect, both statements have their value and weight. It will also depend on people who surround you.

Well all these talks about keeping gambling act secret is somehow strange to me because from where am staying people actually show case their gambling habits and it's normal because it's widely excepted although not all part of my country because some religion frown at this but not where am from because I do also showcase some of winnings and have no problem at all doing that as almost every one can related properly when it's comes to gambling over here .

Yes, that's one of the reasons I can't generalize gambling to everyone. Some people will find it normal and understandable, but others will find it terrible even if your country legalizes gambling. I can tell you from here that, gambling of any kind in my country is not legal and any gambler is looked down upon by the community, so I tend to suggest privacy over being very public.

Several people have been arrested for gambling even small amounts. They don't take care of their privacy and often post their winnings, that is the reason why I support privacy in gambling even though some gambling platforms don't support it because of KYC.

[coinerer]

It's not that easy to keep our gambling a secret, because we know that our family (wife, husband) will first find out if we play gambling, but we shouldn't tell other people, like our own friends or relatives, because in my opinion it's very dangerous if someone else finds out.

Because people who gamble are ready to bet to lose their money and hope that victory will come, actually playing gambling is for fun. If he wins, he should be proud of the result while he loses, then he will receive grief while we gamble with our own money, I think it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't harm others.

For some people, they prefer to be known as a gambler, and for others they would not want their habits to be known by others, or even their own family. I say this based on what I have seen, they are proud of their gambling, and some are secretive.

I think it will come back to their own personality, whether they are comfortable with being open or more comfortable when they are closed.

When a gambler loses a gamble, he does not want to let anyone know about his gambling and not even his family members.  But when a gambler wins big by gambling, he happily tells people about his gambling. and told this to his family.  And at that time almost everyone accepted him, and did not look down on his gambling. this is because he has money and is financially strong enough. So for someone who is financially strong, bad things become a normal thing for him. How people perceive your bad habits depends on your financial status

Yes, that's right, because in my opinion people who have a lot of money will be respected and respected around them, but if the finances are lacking then it's the other way around, and I also agree with your opinion, if you lose at gambling, it's better for us to just keep quiet so we don't become a burden and make family members sad and if we get a win we can tell about it. Yes, even though in gambling we cannot predict, at least we have tried to win and are always careful.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose gambling.  The only thing you need to keep in mind is not to gamble for a long time.  And keep a fund limit on gambling.  Only then will no one find out about your gambling and you will not fall into gambling addiction, your behavior will be correct and gambling will remain secret. Although it is a matter of personal preference whether one should disclose  gambling or not, I think it is best not to disclose.

I never thought it was nice to reveal my gambling habits to other people. This is never considered good regardless of the reason, but every gambler has their own preferences. In my opinion, if there are some things that need to be kept secret then gambling is included in that list. Needless to say you are a gambler, some people will think badly of you and they will no longer have faith in you about money.

Different preference indeed since there are people who do mind about their anonymity or something that they are really that introvert type which they do really love on keeping things on their own or be secret and dont
plan to share up on whatever things that they are doing or dealing with. Some doesnt really care at all whether they have been seen or not by other people or even to those close person to you. There are ones who are really that getting ashamed on the time that they do deal up with gambling which majority on the community does really have that bad views towards it and this is why some people would really be hiding it on public or as much as possible. In overall its not really that bad on playing gambling as long you do find yourself that responsible because criticisms and bad views would be normally be applied on the time that they do see that you are really that
struggling with those negative effects of it but on the time that they are seeing that you are just doing fine and doesnt have that financial negative effect then they would just simply ignore you.

Don't destroy your family just for a gambling hobby because it's not worth it. If that kind of hobby is not okay with your family, there are many others out there. If you are also having trouble stopping and that you are addicted, you can tell your family so they can help you. You have a family you can reach out to, you are not alone. Just tell them your problem so they can support you.

If you pay your bills and don't depend on anyone, why hide it, now you do live with your parents, no way, it's common sense.

In the case you name there is no discussion, he is an addict, he is not a healthy person, anyone who puts money at risk that does not belong to him is a thief or addict, it is that simple.

Finding an income is the best way to bet on success, but many don't understand that the true value of earning is easier than it seems.

[Obari]

I think the reason why some persons keep their gambling habbit secret is simply because the type of wife, or family they have did not support it,and if they should find out that he is into gambling,it might either cause problem in the house,or long lasting issues between couples.In cases like this,I think the first thing to do is to know the kind of family you come from,if they do not support gambling,then you need to stop it otherwise their family will give them problem,but at thesame time,I think all this can still be kept under control as long as you are matured enough to feed yourself,you have the right to do what ever that deems you fit, afterall,there is freedom for anybody who really wants it.But I don't really see anything bad in gambling,and I have not even seen that thing that will make me not to chase money.

[anjiitem]

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

Not sure if they are proud or not but what I do know is that those who gamble secretly are the kind of people that is prone to gambling addiction , because there is no one that can advise or support them in things like this.
and with that they can manage to gamble anytime they wanted and can spend how much they can afford.

I think that someone who keeps his gambling activity a secret does not mean that person is definitely prone to addiction problems. Everyone can definitely experience gambling addiction problems and it depends on how a person's condition and mentality is.
Keeping gambling activities secret certainly has different aims and objectives for everyone. In my opinion, gambling is not an activity to be proud of because gambling is not an activity that can always be profitable but can also cause fatal losses and other social problems, especially in places where gambling is illegal.
I think most people keep gambling a secret because they don't want to get too involved with social problems or negative views from their family, loved ones or colleagues. And I think it may be related to their main job that sometimes some people need to maintain their good name and their credibility from the views of other people.

That people who play gambling will realize that they have risked some of their money because they hope to get a win. I also agree with your opinion that when playing gambling we must be able to limit our funds so we don't gamble too much because we don't know the risks that will come. happens later. And if we are already addicted to gambling, in my opinion it is very difficult to eliminate and even limit it, and maybe the way we keep gambling a secret is also better in my opinion because sometimes some people can accept it and some can't. , because gambling is legal.

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

In our social context, we have to live with different people, in this case, different people have different opinions. In our society, gambling is characterized as a distasteful anti-social activity. Gambling is considered a taboo and criminal activity in our society. No one in the society can participate in gambling in public, moreover, online and traditional gambling has been completely banned by the government in our country. In this case, if someone is addicted or involved in gambling, his identity is completely hidden and he cannot discuss his activities in public in the society.

[ethereumhunter]

On that last part of your statement, being careful if the society is not open for any gambling habits may help to avoid this criticism that always present in that kind of situation, though there are gamblers who always find ways to secretly continue their activities and for some who are open in any situation that they are involved.

In terms of respect, both statements have their value and weight. It will also depend on people who surround you.

And usually, we're in a society that's not open to or accepting of someone's gambling habits so they'll just say go with it right away. Don't hang out with us too often because we don't want to gamble like you. That's what happened in many places, even though the community could invite people who gamble to quit gambling and invite them to do other positive things.

And that makes people who often gamble hide their gambling activities because they don't want to hear what society has to say, so they think it's better to keep their gambling activities hidden. And gradually, the person gets deeper into gambling and the people around him also don't care about him until finally the person who gambles becomes seriously addicted to gambling.

That's one of the bad after effect of keeping your gambling habit discreet as if there's no one who notice your participation and you unable to control yourself, it can really harm you mentally and financially since there's no one who can check on you, chances that you may use all of your savings due to your addiction.

It's better to always have someone who you trust to know what you are into, it will help you to keep things still in order or someone who can talk to you directly to remind you about your activities.

I guess what you are suggesting here is basically right, but is it realistic?

The problem of an addiction is usually that those who are affected by it also do a lot to keep it a secret. It's essentially a part of the addiction. Everyone who has a friend who is addicted to something probably knows that the affected person doesn't like to communicate openly about it and that has nothing to do with the friend being a bad or a good friend. What action could a friend take when he or she knows that a friend is addicted to gambling? Addicted people will almost certainly find a way to gamble and then? Call them and tell them not to? It's more difficult than that I think.

And I think there must be people who want to be our friends and try to help us overcome the problems we face with gambling. We don't have to worry about the person because we can get them so we can start sharing stories with them. We may need to look carefully because not everyone can keep our secrets, so we may need to select who the person is.

By having someone or several people we trust, we can begin to apply precautions not to play gambling continuously so that we can slowly solve gambling problems. We should share secrets about our gambling activities so that they can also help reduce our gambling activities when we find it difficult to overcome them.
