Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes, I agree, even if someone tries to keep their gambling a secret, it will definitely be revealed one day, with changes in attitudes and life changes experienced by gamblers, meaning that what was previously good finances has changed for the worse or is in disarray, then slowly someone will think that he is a gambler. .

Yes, that's right, getting attention and care from the people closest to you by giving good advice to the gambler is very beneficial for him, so that he changes his life and can stop gambling, so that he doesn't experience any more problems in his life by doing useful activities.

Well really I agree with you, even though for example they are always firm in their decision to hide their bad habits, but I think eventually it will definitely be found out too, just like a carcass wherever you hide it will smell over time. Honestly, I am also one of the active gamblers and I always hide my bad habits from my family, but gradually when they find out that my finances are reduced, my family can already conclude that I gamble, they can guess that because the environment around me is quite active in gambling, so that's a pretty easy guess.

In addition, changes in attitude can also be an indication and we can find out from there, as we know that those who gamble will definitely change their attitude indirectly, they will be more emotional over time. So of course no matter how you hide your bad habits, eventually you will be found out too, especially by some of the people closest to you such as family. If you are still quite new to gambling then yes just a suggestion maybe it will be able to make them consider that this activity is really not profitable and there will only multiply the problems. So the point is that there is nothing better than quitting, I think that's all.

Yes, that's right, friend, we have to be firm in making decisions, even when gambling, because if we still hesitate in making decisions, the results could be in vain.
That's right, if we are surrounded by gamblers, they will easily guess whether we are gamblers or not, because they can definitely see and judge what kind of person is affected by gambling? Yes, one of them is mental changes, unstable emotions.
I agree, bro, with your suggestion that you should just stop so as not to harm yourself, but in my opinion this is very difficult to do if he is already addicted to gambling, perhaps by reducing his gambling slowly.

When it is discovered that a particular activity harms us, we must stop, we must not stay there, because basically we will harm ourselves, in casinos and in sports betting things are at a different price, because basically what we We are spending our money, and what we are doing is bad for us, for our financial life, if we do things well, then we can have some opportunity to win, but if there is something that is going to start to harm our daily life The best thing is to leave it, the game is not made for us to become addicted, yes the game is made to have fun, but really the bears are different now, some people do not think the same as others, they can get carried away by emotions, impulses and a series of things that can alter our emotions, causing us to make mistakes that we should never like, one of those is spending a lot of money, making ourselves or getting into trouble that we cannot do without playing, because we have other types of activities to do , with our family, friends, among other things.

I always do an examination of conscience after I play and determine where I failed, what I shouldn't have done and what I can improve, but when a person is addicted the best thing is to do everything possible so that they barely see the game, which can be In reality, what we can do is basically be able to play at least, because completely eliminating the game doesn't work, that creates more need, and it's not the idea that things are like that either, first of all, a very small balance period and the time that is little by little, it cannot be prolonged for long because things are not there to do it, one should think about improving rather than getting worse, then having said that, what should be done are those things, and if the person is willing to do something to Improving and not continuing to get worse is something that should be praised, congratulated and made so that most people know it, so that they see it as a great example.

To be able to prevent gambling addiction is very difficult if someone plays the game secretly and not many people know about it, so if this happens it is not impossible that one day the person who is addicted to gambling will be in the worst condition and only after that will many people realize it if the person needs help to immediately fix the addiction.

Yes, it is true that if gamble secretly will be freer to play without warning from anyone, but this will be worse if there is no one to accompany because it is most likely difficult to stop the activity because are too busy gambling.
so the bad news is that the person will potentially be addicted to gambling and if are addicted it will be difficult to stop.

Even if someone gambles secretly, he will not become addicted to gambling if he is willing to learn to control himself. He will know that the risk of gambling secretly can be greater because he feels that no one bothers him, and he can gamble whenever he wants. This is what will trigger the gambling addiction to come sooner than expected. If no one knows about it, this gambling addiction will worsen, and he won't realize it because his focus on gambling may have changed, worsening his gambling addiction.

And that makes people who gamble secretly have to control themselves so they don't become addicted to gambling. He can gamble without worrying about gambling addiction problems because he can handle it well.

Therefore, it would be better if we gamble open to our family or friends who are close to us so that if we exceed the limit, the first person who will warn us will of course be people who are closer to us or people attention to us and don't want our condition will get worse as a result of the gambling.
Indeed, gambling secretly or openly is each person's choice and maybe people want to keep their gambling secret because they are worried that gambling will be considered bad by some people so they are forced to hide their activities.
However, if we know that gambling secretly has high risks and is difficult to control ourselves, it is better to avoid gambling secretly or if you really want to gamble, do it when you are with people you want to trust so you don't worry too much if gambling is considered bad by friends you trust and least someone knows about your gambling activities, even if it's one or the othe just two people so you can avoid bad things that might happen to you.

It's the only thing to do and there's really no other way but to quit. After all this is gambling that only relies on luck, if you continue to gamble with the aim of wanting to win like the previous time or maybe to restore the loss in the previous time then obviously I think it will only be a waste of time and money, the casino has arranged for you to continue to lose rather than win and obviously the percentage of winning is much lower than losing. So I think you have to consider that, if you understand that I'm sure you can stop doing that. Honestly, I wouldn't forbid them from gambling, but we have to really apply strong self-control and gamble only for fun, not for income.

And I think in general everyone also knows that the environment can be a very influential factor on a person, especially his personality, they will change very quickly because of this factor because every day they hang out with the wrong environment. It's not that it's not allowed, but if you know what's good and what's bad then go ahead, but if you just stand by and don't take any precautions then you will easily get into the wrong zone, especially gambling.

Wasting time just to get another win and chase previous losses is the mind of a gambling addict. And they will continue to do it until they experience an incident that makes them regret it, namely losing all their money and being shunned by the people closest to them, such as their own family, because they cannot control their gambling, so the impact is also felt in their family. And I agree with you, gambling is just for fun, not to earn a steady income.
It's true, environmental factors have a big influence on us, to adapt in a good environment we must always be careful in choosing friends in our daily interactions, if we enter the wrong social circle then of course we will also join in the wrong social circle. wrong, as in gambling if we are surrounded by fellow gamblers then we will also follow their steps, and that is a normal thing.

I still prefer to gamble secretly rather than openly with my family or friends. It won't make me feel comfortable in gambling. My feelings will become uncertain because other people will pay attention to my gambling game, so I cannot focus on gambling. But I also don't think it's bad if some people gamble openly in front of others because maybe that's their choice in gambling.

And, indeed, each person's choices will be different, so we don't need to blame what other people do because they may have their own reasons that we don't know. But the important thing is that we know the limits of gambling so that gambling will not cause us problems. And also, we can still control ourselves well while gambling.

You are right in that people don't want to talk about their addictions, even if they have control over it. For example, it is not socially accepted to say that you like to smoke marijuana to relax or that you drink beer every day after work. People don't like that kind of thing. It's the same with gambling addiction. People won't understand you even if you play casino games once a week just to have fun.

That's because they don't want to see people have negative opinions about what they do, so they will hide their gambling activities from other people. Apart from that, by hiding their gambling activities, they will enjoy their relaxing moments by gambling and will not hear negative opinions from the people around them.

That is the problem of society and most people opinion in this topic. They support hiding gambling, because it relies to something negative. Gambling = negative = bad. Imho that is a false vision and it is really hard to fix that or convince people in opposite. Also, I see no reason to adopt to others in this case. Kind of a herd effect, when person dont have his own opinion.

With gambling and gambling addiction there are to many IF. There are no reports, scientific facts or proves that a person gamble, that he turns into addicted with 100% probability. That is why I find it stupid to hide my hobby or habit, because someone read or saw somewhere article about addiction and made conclusion that I am also gonna turn into one one day and ruin my and my family's life.

I would say that could be only changed if we get to see a better type of gambler, that type of thing changes the perspective of it could change in the end. For example, I started gambling way before my wife did, and that resulted with her being a little mad, because she thought that it was a bad thing and we shouldn't do it just like everyone thought so.

However, that didn't mean that we are going to end up with something that would be ending up in bad result, I put strict limits to myself and never lost more than agreed amount and that should not be a big deal, I personally did the best I could do, and that was alright. She saw this, and she saw that I spent very little to have fun every month and now she can't stop gambling herself as well. As long as people get to see a right type of gambler, they do not need anyone else to tell them how it is bad or anything, gambling could be good but as long as you get to see gamblers who lose their everything, you will keep thinking it's bad.

it's really encouraging to fight because you know someone loves you even if you're addicted to gambling.

That's why I think it's very important to tell this to your family, especially if you know yourself that it's hard to control yourself.

At some point why a person chose to hide what they are doing like the gambling away from people could be that someone dear to them won't be in support of their gambling habit but for the fact that they don't want to ruined the relationship that have existed they turn to keep their gambling habit hidden.  Sometimes we just have to sacrifice by abandoning or hidden an activity we enjoy doing for the sake of those we love and it doesn't mean that we don't have our own opinion. It will be a waste to gain gambling and lose loved ones.

Specifically it would really be your wife specially if you are dealing something that obvious to her and one day you would really be get caught but if you are really that too careful then those people around you would be the ones who would really be the ones would really be telling into your wife on what you are currently doing and on what situation you are into. If you are really that careless and doesnt mind off about the risks involved with gambling then for sure you would really be knowing on whats next. Dont really wait for that situation to come on which you are really that seeing yourself suffering with those consequences just because you had made the wrong decision into your life. Gambling isnt bad as long you would really be making yourself that responsible but if not then you would really be seeing the different scenario or condition. Not all people would really be something that open even with our own family. Even myself doesnt really show up everything into my wife on whatever things that i do really involved on online. I do just keep it a secret but i dont see for it to be a huge problem afterwards since im really that responsible or really that thinking sensibly on what are the things that should needed to be done.

It is said that if you are so worried about people's opinion concerning your life it therefore suggest you are not ready to live your life to the fullest, and you have no absolute say about what and how to life your life.

Why make a move to be the talk of the town by revealing we are into gambling when we can do it in secret and have a peaceful mind away from the gossip of other people?  Keeping a secret does not mean we are affected by other people's idea about us.  It is just preserving our own secret and space and not be the talk of the town.

At some point why a person chose to hide what they are doing like the gambling away from people could be that someone dear to them won't be in support of their gambling habit but for the fact that they don't want to ruined the relationship that have existed they turn to keep their gambling habit hidden.  Sometimes we just have to sacrifice by abandoning or hidden an activity we enjoy doing for the sake of those we love and it doesn't mean that we don't have our own opinion.

I think it is ok to keep a secret as long as it won't affect the relationship of a family.  Everyone has right of privacy and space as long as this space is not invading others.  As long as we are gambling responsibly and not affecting our family's financial status, then I think it is ok to continue engaging in gambling in secret.

The saying it's not against people deciding to keep whatever they do even the gambling too as private but it's rather about people keeping their gambling life private because they care so much about what people will say and not keeping it secret because they like having a private life to conserve secret.

At some point why a person chose to hide what they are doing like the gambling away from people could be that someone dear to them won't be in support of their gambling habit but for the fact that they don't want to ruined the relationship that have existed they turn to keep their gambling habit hidden.  Sometimes we just have to sacrifice by abandoning or hidden an activity we enjoy doing for the sake of those we love and it doesn't mean that we don't have our own opinion.

It is true, everyone is entitled to living his life as he want as long as it doesn't cause discomfort to the next person around or family but for some people they have knowledge of this right of theirs but for sake of family they willingly put aside that right to live their gambling life a secret from the family. Not that they get afraid of family reaction about it but they don't want any thing that will shake the boat because of them.

But it is also true that the very first people that will nag you about your gambling even if you have it completely under control are your family and your friends as well, so I can understand why some people may like to keep it a secret from them as they do not want to deal with all of that, especially since the amount they are spending is very small and their gambling is not having a negative effect at all on the finances of their family.

Precisely! And for some people they are not willing to submit with that kind of treatment so they choose to keep their gambling activities secretly,  but I'm also with that opinion above where the help will be coming from when addiction trigger, you need those people to understand what's happening and what's needed to work with the issue,  without anyone's help it will be too difficult for that person to recover.

But this requires better self-control because they can develop a gambling addiction that will make them lose all their money.

If possible then it would be great but in todays era or standard then having those kind of integrations or making things for it to happen then it cant really be that possible or simply that would really be that could really be that be done on which there's no such thing that creating a community on having those dice games but having those restrictions or control yet people would really be making their own instead on trying to mingle out or would really be going in groups basing up on the gambling activity that they would really be having into. Speaking about being secretive then people would really be tending to do such thing basing up on the things that he do believes and basing up on his own preference. If he do find out that showing off could result some sort of non good words
or discrimination then he would definitely be making himself away out of peoples eyes and would really be that enclosing himself because of such reason.

The most of the wining from the gambling can’t be hidden by the gambler to their friends and family members.Because the lottery winning of the gambler will be more and published on the news paper.So the gambler will not hide their winning from their friends.The gambler who earn the money from the lottery will be the millionaire from the gambling,So the gambler will start the business from their winning money.The win from the game likes dice,poker in the online gambling sites will be know by the gambler alone.So the online gambling will help the gambler to keep their gambling habit secret from their friends and family member.

Not all lottery winners are able to retain their million dollars; others nevertheless lose everything they won as a result of poor risk management and financial literacy skills.

Despite the fact that what you said is true, a winner should use their resources wisely and effectively in ways that will increase their profits rather than only using them when extra cash is needed but no money actually comes in. The automobile won't start, of course, when the fuel runs out, right?

People that can thrivingly hide their gambling activity from family and it's never noticed all through the time of hiding, for this set of people it's very unlikely that they fall into addiction capitalizing on the premise that for anyone to be able to hide their gambling activity they should be responsible gamblers and a responsible gambler must be someone  of self-control and that's why the can't develop gambling addiction. It's not easy hiding something like gambling from close persons like family and if you're clever enough to hide it such cleverness should also extend to how you spend money on your gambling.

Hinding bad habit like gambling and linking it to being responsible is a slippery slope. People who are good at hiding what they're doing from close family members dont necessarily have self-control in all parts of their life. We should not confuse hiding with being responsible. Usually, people who hide are aware of the possible outcomes or judgments they may face.

Further exploring the human behavior, we find countless instances where individuals, proficient in one domain, falter in another. When it comes to problems and issues, gambling is especially complex. The internet can be even more tempting and addicting. When people think that being good at hiding means they have control over their gaming costs, they are missing the real problem, which is the nature and effects of addiction.

They should be responsible gamblers by choosing to hide their gambling activities. But perhaps the reality is that many gamblers cannot be responsible with their gambling because hiding their gambling activities means they can use their money without anyone knowing. And this can harm them, especially if they lose control of themselves in gambling. They can deposit their money to gamble because no one will know, and if they see that their money is gone, they can only regret it. If someone finds out their money has run out, it can cause problems and disrupt their relationships with other people.

And this can harm them, especially if they lose control of themselves in gambling. They can deposit their money to gamble because no one will know, and if they see that their money is gone, they can only regret it. If someone finds out their money has run out, it can cause problems and disrupt their relationships with other people.

We all should have gambling maturity and this will help us to stay safe from problems and other people's opinions about how we see gambling. Those gamblers that are able to keep gambling without any of there families knowing about there lifestyle are professionals because we don't have to allow the kind of activities we put ourselves to affect our family or people around us. There is nothing bad about gambling but we need to be cautious about who we disclosed out gambling lifestyle to which can be a top secret from the public knowing about what we do.

Keeping one's gambling habit a secret can be detrimental to the gambler if he's not disciplined enough to handle his emotions especially when he's losing in gambling. But for people who can perfectly handle their emotions, it's absolutely good if they decides to keep their gambling habits a secret.
For someone who's controlled by his emotions, telling few trusted friends or family members is good as they'll help to keep him in check when he's losing his money by stopping him from gambling more which might result to him becoming a gambling addict while for someone who's able to control himself even when he's losing keeping it a secret wouldn't have any negative effect on him

I want to know from what perspective the losses are obtained if the gambler keeps it a secret, wouldn't it be the case that hiding gambling could provide several benefits for the gambler himself. There are many families who will not let their children, husbands or relatives get involved in gambling, but they will never care if they have been warned but still carry out gambling activities as usual. After all, how do they control the flow of funds for each gambler because they always have a way of getting involved in gambling even though they no longer get the source of money from their family.

The only person who can control gambling is ourselves and other people only through encouragement. If they do not intend to stop gambling, this urge will also have no results, unless they are taken to a rehabilitation center to be treated mentally, psychologically or with extra care under supervision. That's the only way I know to cure addicted gamblers, because I have seen several people who finally managed to get out of gambling addiction through that method.

It is true, everyone is entitled to living his life as he want as long as it doesn't cause discomfort to the next person around or family but for some people they have knowledge of this right of theirs but for sake of family they willingly put aside that right to live their gambling life a secret from the family. Not that they get afraid of family reaction about it but they don't want any thing that will shake the boat because of them.

And that has been done by many people, who tend to do what they like without caring about what others say. And that's why some people still hide their gambling activities because they don't want anyone to say many things about them, so they just want to hide it. And they are also very clever at hiding their gambling activities so that no one knows about it, and they are free to gamble. But this requires better self-control because they can develop a gambling addiction that will make them lose all their money.

People that can thrivingly hide their gambling activity from family and it's never noticed all through the time of hiding, for this set of people it's very unlikely that they fall into addiction capitalizing on the premise that for anyone to be able to hide their gambling activity they should be responsible gamblers and a responsible gambler must be someone  of self-control and that's why the can't develop gambling addiction. It's not easy hiding something like gambling from close persons like family and if you're clever enough to hide it such cleverness should also extend to how you spend money on your gambling.

Agree on this. Hiding your gambling activity from your family is a choice and there's nothing wrong about it as long as you know for yourself that you are a responsible gambler. But most of the time, people who hide their gambling habits are people who are addicted to it and the people who are impulsive gamblers. Remember that one of the signs of acquiring gambling addiction is isolating yourselves from other people, and hiding your gambling habit from your loved ones can be one of its manifestations.
Moreover, this can only result in two things, it’s either a positive or negative effect on you. Yes, it can be a positive implication because this is for privacy purposes and gambling can be a personal matter for someone and it is something that needs to be known by everyone. On the other hand, it can be a negative implication because keeping your gambling habit as a secret means that you will be most likely to develop addiction especially if you are fully aware that you are not a responsible gambler.
