Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[klidex]

~snip~

You are right, the first person to warn us when our gambling situation worsens is the person closest to us and that is family or friends. They are the only ones who will really help you, nothing else, this is a great help, especially if you are too addicted to gambling and you want to stop because you are struggling but you fight because you know that someone has supported you.
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.

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 all depends on each person's thoughts, if you feel that you are able to control your emotions and control yourself when gambling, of course it doesn't matter to your wife if you know this, but not everyone has the same characteristics as you, I also have a wife and my wife always support whatever I do as long as it is within reasonable limits. My wife always reminds me to always be open in everything because the key to a harmonious household is good communication without anything being kept secret, therefore I prefer to tell my wife if I want to do it gambling and my wife also knows that gambling is a bad thing. My wife is also worried about this, but if I continue to do it without my wife's knowledge, then this is a bad thing. It's better to tell it well so that the wife can understand and agree together, but with a note that I have to be able to control myself and not go beyond the limits and my wife can also control myself when I find it difficult to control myself alone, but that people thoughts are different and I don't mind whether people want to hide it or not because that everyone personal business.

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's similar for any addiction, not just gambling. We can only truly conquer it ourselves. It helps to distance ourselves from the environments that fuel the addiction. Going to a rehab center is also a valuable option.

You're fortunate to have such a compassionate and understanding wife. Many spouses, upon discovering such issues, tend to react strongly, often issuing ultimatums. This is especially true when a significant amount of money has been lost to gambling, leaving little room for negotiation.

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.

That's a sad truth, I've watched a lot of them win the lottery and garner a lot of money through their luck and jackpot. But many of them weren't prepared to retain their wealth so they have spent it like a one day millionaire and that's how they did it until they're all busted. If I'm the one of those winners, I'll definitely reinvest it and will let it work for me just like what the wealthy people are saying and will live a decent life without having much pressure. But lacking of financial literacy really beats a person no matter how rich they are.

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?

The first step if they're unsure of what shall happen to them by having lots of money is to avail a financial literacy education or schooling. It won't take them much but that's the first thing they can provide for themselves so they can manage their money properly and they won't be empty quickly just like how the first winners did. Forget about having vacations, you can delay that and prioritize first on how you're going to be knowledgeable in handling your money.

Maybe they're not proud because they're spending their rent money? Or maybe they are spending the money that was going to buy food for the week for their house. Usually there is a reason for a person to feel shame. As long as it's not against your religion and you have the extra money to spend, you shouldn't feel shame.

The need for people to feel shy over what should concern only them still baffles me. If I go gambling and spend money that doesn't give me profit, I will just see it as normal and try next time. i don't really care what the religion says after I have finished playing the game as that consideration was not given before the game was played.

People should learn how to be responsibile and self-condifient in what they do by themselves.

That's true and only ourselves can trigger to stop any addiction because other people's encouragement will never touch on a deep psychological level, if we ourselves don't try to stop. I witnessed someone close to me who was addicted to gambling and drugs, but fortunately he was able to be cured in rehabilitation. Keeping yourself away from environments that trigger gambling is also good, but if you still have internet access then it will be difficult to control it.

You could say he got a rare wife because if that happened to us, maybe now, who knows what his condition would be like? I never tell my wife about the gambling I do and usually I will gamble when I have more budget after meeting other needs. Until recently there was no room for me to mention involvement in gambling to the family, even though it wasn't an addiction as I was worried they would think too much about it.

Lol guys, you equaled gambling to masturbation, as both must be kept in secret Gambling is from 18+. Gambler is a grown up man already and can do whatever he wants. It is not necessary to keep it all in secret.

If I go to play roulette, then for fun I will specially call my wife to the computer to watch. There is no need to hide it, because all that we subconsciously want to hide is bad deeds, and we understand that they are like that. It is necessary to conduct in all respects the most open policy with dear people. After all, we are important to them, and even if we cannot help ourselves, our own people will always do it. Therefore, the imported gamblers are often forcibly treated. This is also done because they do not want to lose a loved one.

Addicted gamblers have really made most people in society think gambling is a bad activity. That's why some gamblers decide to make their gambling activities private. It's annoying when you are in a community and people start seeing you as a bad person. You won’t really be comfortable, and people will even stop associating themselves with the person because they will think you are also like addicted gamblers that do crazy things just to get money to gamble. They don’t know that responsible gamblers don’t involve themselves in criminal activities, take loan to gamble or sell properties just to get money to gamble.

For a fact, the manner at which addicted gamblers publicly display very poor and disgusting lifestyles has made many people to desist themselves from gambling and that's why a whole lot of people can't just allow their gambling activities to be known by the public so people don't view them the same way they view gambling addicts.
Gambling is not a bad vice if one can control his gambling habits and carefully know how best to gamble but is considered as a very bad engagement if the person is potentially gonna end up as an addict because of his careless ways of gambling

[dumbymamby]

Someone who hides his gambling habit must have a reason. We can't know the reason if we don't ask and can only guess. There are many possibilities why he did it. Meanwhile, there are still many of us who also hide our gambling habits.

The important thing is that he knows what he is doing. And hopefully, he is a responsible gambler because no one knows if he has become a gambling addict.

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?.

In fact, people have been looking at this game of gambling in our country since ancient times. No matter how much people call gambling good, gambling will never be accepted as good in our country. But there are various reasons for this as we have seen in our region people who are addicted to gambling have led their lives very badly. A gambling addict can never make the family happy, he always keeps the family unhappy. Seeing his family in such trouble, many people feel bad and from this bad feeling, a hatred towards gamblers is created among people. No one wants to be married to a gambling addict in our country and is not allowed to be from a family. For this reason, those who are forced to participate in gambling have to participate in keeping this gambling a secret.

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.

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.

The after effect is what will be noticeable once the person got addicted, a questionable expense that will lead to an undeniable gambling activities, unless the person is good in balancing his finances and the time that he's spending inside gambling, keeping it as secret as possible is possible and it can be un-noticeable as they can control and they can continue to live as normal as possible while enjoying the gambling game or sports betting that they are involved.

Different kind people and different kind of behaviors, more on how they can handle in terms of gambling participations and money managements.

Gambling still belongs to a higher level of responsibility than masturbation,  because we can have responsible gambler but we can have responsible masturbator,  and that make a lot of difference and sense to me at some level.

So I still can gamble in public like sports betting and also walk into any physical casino without feeling any recourse since I know that I gamble responsibly gambling only become shameful if you allow gambling to get you addicted but if you gamble moderately then you will have nothing to be ashamed of while gambling.

If you do tend to hide something from your wife or into your family but spending or expenses turns out to be that something obvious because you are already compromising too much funds or money then this is where suspicions do come from on which it is really that impossible for your wife not to be able to notice out that there's something wrong specially on the income source or flow knowing that if she knows on how much you do earn but giving only a few parts or portion then that would really be giving out that hints that there's something wrong. This is where observations and trying out to check out on what are the things that you've been dealing with and the worst they would really be throwing up accusations or assumptions which would really be related on having some mistress or something that you have been supporting which it do really
sucks to have those kind of issues to be thrown out.

This is why on the  time that you are really that making some secret dealings or behaviors or activities then as long you arent that compromising something then it should really be just fine
specially when it comes or talks with income then it would really be just that right but if we do speak about having those noticeable spending then expect
that sooner or later you would really be on such situation or condition.

Situations where a partner reacts violently to a gambling problem can be very difficult indeed. Losing large amounts of money due to gambling can cause strain in relationships. It is important to seek emotional support in facing this problem together. Open communication and wisdom in managing financial issues collectively can help restore trust and build better solutions for the future. Support from an understanding partner can be the key to starting a successful recovery journey.

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

I think it's not about that they are not proud of what they are doing but maybe they just don't feel exposing themselves publicly with gambling or they just need some privacy. It could be that they have justifiable reasons why they did that. Common reason is of family related issues second one is the nature of the specific gambling or there is an issue about regulations or legality.

Privacy. Yes, that's what they think by hiding their gambling activities from other people so they can enjoy gambling in peace and comfort.

They have reasons that they probably won't tell anyone else. But if it concerns regulations or legality in his country and gambling is prohibited, he doesn't need to gamble because it could impact him. He doesn't need to hide his gambling activities because he doesn't gamble.

But even so, some people will still hide their gambling activities even though gambling is prohibited in their country. He just wants to experience gambling, which is fine, but he should know that gambling is prohibited in his country. And he also has to be careful when gambling.

It is important to know that not all levels of society will consider gambling to be good activity and most think that gambling is bad activity because of the negative impacts it can have such as criminal acts of extortion or robbery and even many cases of depression.
But for us gambling is very fun and can provide satisfaction.

After all who here which gambler who wants his family or relatives to know about his gambling activities and just look at the many gamblers who really want anonymity in gambling.
From this we can conclude that gambling is still frightening thing if other people know about it.

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.

No one is happy when they lose bets conspicuously and there are times when you will need people or someone to talk to about your gambling lifestyle, people you can trust to give you good advice not people that you will tell and they begin to mock you and even tell you that so you've been lavishing your money on gambling that's why you haven't been doing anything tangible with your money. You tell people that will analyze the benefits and the disadvantages of being addicted to gambling to you.

Most gamblers tends to be addicted to gambling not because they actually want to recover money they've lost but because they see it as the easiest way to make money so I don't think it is advisable to keep one's gambling habits a secret because there are times when you will be so sad after losing a bet so it requires you to talk to someone to give you advice and courage on the need for you not to be emotionally attached to gambling.

Apart from the submissions you tendered, it's also important for loved ones to know what you do with your money and what you're expecting, let's say gambling is an investment and you're expecting your rewards(win) and prior to that time, you fall ill and maybe you are unconscious and your reward claims has a time limit, if you don't have a loved one that's aware of it, you can kiss the reward goodbye.
