Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[Swordsoffreedom]

We have to understand which people don't like gambling and which ones are the same as us. It's just that most people view gamblers as people who have bad habits. It's a shame they are like that without providing a good solution just to judge. I will not accompany people like that, but some people with mature thinking will find out why people are involved in gambling and will try to get them out of their addiction to gambling, that's the best.

If you share you are doing the gambling to the people who also do the gambling means,they will accept your involvement of the gambling.If you share the gambling involvement to the non gambler,they will not like the involvement of the gambling and ask your to quit in different way.First they will advice to quit the gambling,by saying the many loss story to you in the gambling.Then they will order you,if that person is the closest person to you.This is similar to the acceptance of drinking by the drinking people and oppose by the non drinkers of drinking habit.Only the people who involved in the drinking know the value of the drinking and people who involved in the gambling know the value of the gambling.

In this case, it will be a little difficult if you want to tell a story about a fun experience in gambling when you got a big win or got a big multiplier and we have to choose which friends can be considered as listeners of fun stories in gambling and sometimes tell stories to fellow gamblers. will be able to understand our feelings but there are also fellow gamblers sharing stories but in the long run it is very bad when they tell stories about getting big wins, their friends borrow money and continue like that without returning the money.
It would be better to tell about experiences but remain anonymous, as in this forum we dont know each other but we can tell each other about gambling and I always think that telling stories about gambling to people we know will have a bad impact in the long run.

I somewhat agree with you, we should refrain ourselves from discussing gambling with acquaintances or friends. It has a few downsides, first you tell someone about your gambling experience who doesn't have enough money. If you tell him about the big profits from gambling,  he may become very interested in gambling, and may gamble even if he borrows money. And if he is somehow defeated, the ill effects will be felt on him and his family.

Secondly, my interactions have exposed me to numerous individuals who swiftly succumbed to the allure of gambling, subsequently relinquishing substantial monetary assets. I won't say gambling is bad, however getting addicted to it is very bad. This is why we should be careful, and not talking about gambling to people who have little money, or who are likely to become addicted to gambling.

Second  I know many people who got addicted to gambling very quickly and lost their money.
I won't say gambling is bad. But getting addicted to it is very bad. This is why we should be careful. And not talking about gambling to people who have little money, or who are likely to become addicted to gambling.

Well, when you meet some one let's say in a bus or in an open space and you both got discussing, how do you tell if the person has little money, or that such person will easily get addicted to gambling?.

I personally do not totally think it's wrong to discuss with strangers about gambling, as long as the discussing is just casual, that is, not revealing ones personal details or go too deep into sharing personal experiences, but all this is if the stranger in question is also a gambler.

Like someone I meet last week, he is a gambler and I am a gambler, we got discussing and it was really interesting discussing wit someone of like minds in such a place.

I don't like to discuss gambling matters openly. The main reason for this is that gambling is not legal in my country.  And you can be criminally prosecuted for gambling here.  So I refrain myself from discussing these things in public places.

Also, I would never discuss gambling with a stranger . And even if we discuss, I will not tell him how much money I have gained or lost in gambling . Because this is my personal matter.

If I know the person I'm talking to is a gambler. Then maybe I'll talk to him openly. However, I will try to avoid personal matters. Because even if you have a lot of money,  you would never tell a stranger about it . It can lead to various accidents. So I try to avoid these things for my own safety.

It is for the best to not talk about any topic that is money related, where I live it is very common to get asked all kind of stuff regarding how much money I make and I have always thought that is simply tasteless, the only persons besides myself which should care about how much I make is my family, no one else needs to know that information, so it stands to reason that I also do not like to answer any questions which are related to how much money I spend on gambling.

[Tuturtinular]

is right. not everyone can accept a gambler. It's a good idea if we are gamblers not to show it off to people, let alone our family. This is not something we should be proud of, especially if we are addicts. it's better not to gamble, well this is also a matter of how we socialize well.

What is clearly problem is not whether we can accept it or not but the views or on the other hand bad opinions about gambling that always appear in society or even in our own families.
However as long as we gamble within limits and with good control everything can still be hidden without worrying about people around us being able to see our daily behavior because some people can judge gambling habits just by looking at their character and behavior.

No gambler will be proud of what they do in gambling and no gambler wants people around them to know about the gambling activities they have been doing because it will have big impact on social life.

That's right, as long as we can still control ourselves from gambling then we can hide it and nothing will change. However, if we cannot control our finances, we will often run out of money and people will usually start to suspect us. Of course people will think we spend money to gamble

In my country there is quite a lot of news about people who lost a lot of money and had a lot of debt and sold their parents' land to cover the debt. Cases like this mostly occur in the younger generation, some are even still students. It is very important to gamble responsibly because there are many risks in gambling

Yeah, and if I remember it right, there's also a young gambler who ended his life because of debts that he can't repay, he ended his life since he can not do anything about his loan as he keep his gambling dominate him to the point that he losses everything including the money that not suppose for gambling and being out of control he continue up to the point that he no longer have money to use and ask for loans. Going deeper with addiction and keep it inside you also have that kind of bad side effects.

Though it's still on how you handle things and how a gambler will protect his privacy and have that decent amount of self-will to control whatever he's doing and continue enjoying discreetly.

[naikturun]

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?.

maybe some people can't accept this, but some people might be able to accept it.
so keeping your secrets and making everything look fine is also a good thing.
because some people might judge you as a bad person when they find out you gamble, even though maybe you can control yourself and not get carried away by your emotions.

This is why a balance must be reached, on one hand it makes no sense at all to share that information with anyone, even with our family members, but at the same time if things get out of hand and we are unable to control ourselves then there is not going to be anyone there for us to help us when we need it, so people need to be honest with themselves and seriously consider if they can really control their gambling or not, and depending on that answer they could share the fact they gamble with their family or not.

[Ever-young]

Anyone that is gambling and is hiding their gambling habit is really not proud of what they are doing although I don’t blame most of the people who are getting involved in such activities because their are lot of people who are just there and can’t really stand out to defend their own decision they so much care about what people will think of them and what people will also say which makes them to hide their passion from the eyes of the general public.

Sometimes too one of the reason why most people hide their gambling habit is as a result of them not wanting people to think that that’s where they spend all their money or in a situation where the person is not doing financially well, people might think that gambling is the reason why they can’t survive or save out something out of their income and for them to save their self those explanations they just have to hide it from them and their gambling under ground.

.

Some people proud to trade the cryptocurrency and share about the trading win to their friends and family members.If the gambler itself like the gambling and they will proudly say their involvement in the gambling.If the gambler feel guilty of playing the gambling,he will not share about the gambling involvement to their friends.So the gambler friends will start to advice to avoid of the loss in the gambling,because the gambler friend may come across the various people who loss their money in the gambling.But they forgot about the winner in the gambling from the lottery with big win.

It's not really necessary to make to the world known that you are gambling. Sometimes it's much better to only let a few trusted ones to know your gambling habits so that only the selected ones that has direct involvement of your life will make criticisms to your routine without being so harsh to you nor being so at ease with your ways. Because sometimes, there are people who just want to meddle with your business and not really help you out. They judge not out of concern, rather to insult or to control you. So still, be careful who you trust and who you share with.

I really like reading the things that many cool people say here, the point of view that each one has about the habits of the game and whether they keep it a secret or not, in particular I have had to experience many things in life, They have taught me to be who I am, that is very good, because firstly you are not afraid, secondly, as a person you are Quite free, and you have nothing to worry about what others say, so there are some players who, because they have a good reputation, things are not given to be as they are, then this is something bad, one must be as one is and always demonstrate what one is, one must not hide from anything or anyone, that is why casinos, sports betting and everything that is about activities of chance one must be clear, one must make it clear and that it matters what others say, I understand that some people or players do not say it so that they do not have problems with their families, they are even their wives, because they believe that they are going to end up in an addiction, but basically things can go well depending on what each of us has and accepts, everything is in our personality, our biggest decisions are ours, and what I say It is something if a person does not want to say or show that he is in a situation, because he cares a lot about the opinions of others, it seems to me that he is free to do so, even though I am not like that.

Some people do not tell them that they are doing This act so as not to get into problems with their partner, what I think about all this is that it can Manifest itself in many ways, if a person hates doing a particular activity, the partner must accept it and support it, As long as it doesn't involve bad things, everything is fine, and as long as you don't spend money that you won't need later, because I believe that things can turn out well, then in this order of ideas, each person is a world, for each of us we can have a way of thinking that is respectable and that we should all Respect.

It is important to take into account many cultural and civilizational considerations for each person and each region. In many regions of the world, gambling is forbidden according to religious doctrines, and some of them prohibit its practice by statutory law. There are, of course, many people in these areas who practice gambling, but they cannot declare it. These may be good reasons to hide, but they become dangerous if the gambler develops an addiction to gambling and is not able to share his psychological problems with anyone for fear of scandal and repercussions.
In open societies, most of those who hide their activities are addicted to gambling and do not want others to know about them for fear of social stigma.

Yes you are right that mate some regions in the world forbidden cause of there doctrines but there are many many people disobey their doctrines and keep playing or gamble even if it's prohibited. there's no need to shock as we all know that nowadys most area in the world have internet and there are many gambling sites in the internet so we can not deny the fact that there are many people will play and play anytime anywhere.

I somewhat agree with you, we should refrain ourselves from discussing gambling with acquaintances or friends. It has a few downsides, first you tell someone about your gambling experience who doesn't have enough money. If you tell him about the big profits from gambling,  he may become very interested in gambling, and may gamble even if he borrows money. And if he is somehow defeated, the ill effects will be felt on him and his family.

Secondly, my interactions have exposed me to numerous individuals who swiftly succumbed to the allure of gambling, subsequently relinquishing substantial monetary assets. I won't say gambling is bad, however getting addicted to it is very bad. This is why we should be careful, and not talking about gambling to people who have little money, or who are likely to become addicted to gambling.

Yes , we should be careful because not all people are like us. Also, it is still a stigma that people who gambles are all addict and tend to have a bad life because we are playing gambling, that most common here in asia. Though gambling is created to entertained people still most of the gambling addict here tend to be more likely to be poor because they thought that gambling is the key to be rich instantly.

[kojektea]

that's right. not everyone can be a gambler. In many people's point of view, gamblers are bad and disgusting and should be avoided. but if we are mature enough to respond to it, we shouldn't have to pay attention to it. it's enough that we don't gamble in front of them, that's a good thing we can do.

Yes, we should keep it to ourselves, especially if it will cause other new problems between us and the people around us. As long as we can control ourselves while gambling, we will not experience the problems other people face because we will always remember that gambling is only with the money we can afford. So hiding our gambling habits will not give us problems, and we can gamble in peace without thinking about what other people who know about our gambling activities will say. And it is true that if we want to talk about our gambling activities so far, we must be able to choose people we trust so that it won't cause problems.

[Promocodeudo]

If gambling is what an individual chooses to do why will they hide it, I think it depends on the person involved, is not ideal to secretly do things that make you happy unless you have checked thoroughly and find it to be a bad habit, if I may say I don't see gambling as a bad stuff, is just that gambling is addictive and one needs to have control over themselves in other to indulge in this kind of activity, different people with diverse reasoning and understanding, some set of persons see gambling as a bad thing but if you dash them money made from it, they will take, I just see this as hypocrisy, the only thing I will say is that if one decide to gamble just gamble with care and less concentration to avoid addiction that may lead to going extra mind to get money to satisfy your urge, but don't hide it, as far as you know that you are not doing it the wrong way.

[TopTort777]

"Gambling in peace" - why not just ask not to bother you for couple of hours, because you will be busy and need concentration?

Think about secret habit in different way. If it is in secret, then no one will be able to help you if you have troubles. I remember someone was mentioning addiction, and now you say that hiding that you gamble is good. Isnt it a first to addiction?

They will not disturb us when we are in the room and say I am working on something and we can also ask them not to disturb us for a few hours.

Now imagine if you have good self-control but don't want anyone to know you are gambling. Does that constitute gambling addiction? We are all addicted to gambling by always returning to the casino and playing various gambling games. However, we refuse to be called gambling addicts because we can still control ourselves. We also don't use too much money for gambling.

We hide our gambling activities from other people because we don't want to hear negative feedback from them about what we do in gambling. That's because we feel we can still control ourselves well while gambling. But if it's different for you, that's okay.
