Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[dunfida]

I think one should not keep any job or activity as a secret because if there is no secret then people can give you suggestions and advice otherwise you will loss money continuously and people will know it when you completely loss whole amount and start borrowing money from others. Your work have impact on your personality therefore if you have bad job your career will also be bad and if you choose better job you can speak about it with everyone because you will be glad for your act.

It’s not such a bad idea to keep your activities secret from people around. It’s the individuals choice anyway to keep his activities private and it’s not the business of anyone. It also doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a bad thing that’s being done and that’s why it’s kept a secret.
Agreed, when your habits are being kept secret and it begins to consume you, there would be no one to talk some sense into you and it could spiral into an addiction.

Asides all that, people are free to keep their activities secret and private from prying and judging eyes. And there are a lot of them in the society.

I agree with you. We all have a different situation and scenarios in our daily lives and there are times that our surroundings are a bit annoying especially if they know the things that you are doing. Not every people or country is ok with gambling, there are people who are conservative and those people are the one who will just bring you stress after knowing that you are doing vices like gambling. I personally think that it is better to not talk about it for majority of the people since it won't harm you and won't bring you any negative emotions. Things change when you are addicted, it is better to not keep it secret especially if you want to cure your addiction.

The shame that comes with gambling is real and can cause extra stress. People feel like they have to hide their actions because they are afraid of what other people will think, which feeds the fires of guilt and secrecy. Its true that not everyone likes gambling, and personal freedom and social norms often dont play well together. So, whats the answer? Keep some privacy, not to get away with something, but to keep the peace.

Things look different when addiction is involved. People get stuck in a loop they cant get out of when they keep things from others. Being open isnt just a good thing to do in these situations; its important. To get help and break free from addiction, you need to take a different method. Balancing privacy and disclosure is the true challenge.

Losing money could really be stressful
Losing money could really give that kind of anger
Losing money could stir up your mind
Losing money could make your emotion impulsive

People who do claim to play just for fun will really be not be able to avoid such situations.There comes a time that you would really be eventually be able to experience things
and speaking about secret or making it one then it would be on your choice because not all would really be having that good impression and views towards gambling, even
if we do speak with your own family on which there's no way that you could really be able to tell that they would really be supportive on what you are doing.
This is why we do really choose up on making or keeping it as a secret.

For me then i do keep it in silent or not really that a secret since im not really that spending that much with gambling so its not really something
serious that would be shared up specially with my wife.You could always choose on what you do want to do.

A kind of mindset and believe whenever you lose your money when betting huge amount something that there's control over the outcome and always being favored the house, it's normal as you think that there's something that not usual when you play, like what you mentioned why when betting small amount you make some good winning streak but once you add more and try some luck it begin to show losing streak and you will only realize that you already lose when there's nothing left in your bankroll.

Gamblers are often suspicious of that kind of behavior when they make big bets, however this is impossible to prove without a large enough sample of those bets, if someone had that sample then it could be possible to know if the casino in question is in fact cheating their customers once big bets are made, or if this is just some sort of bias on the observation process of gamblers and there is in fact nothing to worry about and the casino is not cheating their customers.

I agree that in the case of big bets no one keeps the samples so it is very difficult to get information about them. Gamblers often behave this way because the confidence people have in their beliefs depends largely on the quality of the story they can tell about what they see even if they see little. Online casinos do not cheat not at legal online casinos where they are licensed regulated and frequently audited for fairness. A person who intentionally or knowingly cheats when trying to win money at a casino.

Yes, online and offline casino who does have permits from regulatory bodies will not attempt to cheat, as per my personal opinion, they will think first with the permits than the amount that they can possibly cheat, it's way profitable to have that trust than to cheat against the players and lose your business after.

Something that will really be weight first by the casino owners before they will do something like this.

Someone that is chasing their losses with such intensity will not take long to develop gambling issues and eventually find themselves losing a lot of money, since at that point they are not taking decisions based on some sort of strategy or rational behavior and they simply refuse to accept the reality in front of them, which is that only a very small minority can obtain profits with gambling, while the rest of us can only gamble for the fun we can get out of it, and if we no longer obtain any entertainment out of it then we must quit and find something else to do.

Not being able to make good decisions in gambling bets will certainly make the bets we play end more quickly compared to betting using strategy, because most people who bet in gambling are only chasing big wins and do not use strategy in the bets they play.
Doing gambling just to look for fun is very difficult to do because it is very difficult to be able to set a strategy if we are only looking for big wins in gambling, stopping gambling is very difficult to do if we have experienced an addiction.

And also compared to those who are betting in a stable amount. Chasing losses has always been a problem for most gamblers because they tend to increase their bets whenever they want their money back in a quicker way. It's wrong but yet it still happens a lot of times because the thought of having bad luck in a few bets makes us think the next ones will be better. I don't think that's how gambling works in casino games.
It's true that making gambling just for means of fun is not an easy feat. There will always be those incidents where we lose more and it becomes a stressful gambling habit instead of enjoying it.
This is one of the reason why I like betting in sports more than in casino games. Somehow I am enjoying watching games with my bet on the line than against the house in casino games.

[oktana]

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

It's not that they aren't proud of what they are doing, but they are also considering what society thinks. So, it's safe to say that it depends on the society. In some societies, gambling can be seen as a fun activity that is meant to just be a source of excitement or to test one's skills (a good example I can think of is the punching bag game. It can be a lot of fun while you test to see how heavy your punch is). While in other societies, gambling is seen as bad and something that can ruin and drain a person financially. And we are humans so we somehow tend to adapt to the environment we find ourselves in, even if the belief there doesn't make sense, we have to honor it.

Something that will really be weight first by the casino owners before they will do something like this.

But it all depends on how the casino develops and earns money in the gambling industry because large casinos that are already popular and have very large community trust rating will definitely maintain trust rather than cheat customers, but for small casinos even though they have an official license they can still there is chance of committing fraud if thinks their winnings cause them to lose quite lot of money.
Not all licensed casinos can be trusted except those that are large and have large community.

Casino owners have to consider everything if they want to commit series of frauds against gamblers and they come to do business not to cheat.

Talking about casino fraud can require gambler to be willing to give up their identity in order to solve such case and some gamblers are unwilling to do that.
Like my friend who experienced bad luck where his account was frozen because of several wins he had won and when he contacted the support team they actually asked for KYC to carry out the settlement process, who knows what KYC was for but without KYC the team was unwilling to resolve the problem.

Yes, they will only lose a lot of money if they continue to chase their losses instead of winning. And even though they can win, the amount of money from their win will not be as much as the amount from their loss so it will still make them lose money. If he realized that continuing to chase his losses would not allow him to get his money back, he should have decided not to do it because he would suffer even bigger losses. If they continue to do it, they will no longer get entertainment from gambling but will only be eager to recover their losses. However, they will not succeed because it will be difficult to obtain. And it's best if he stops gambling for some time so he can calm himself down and reset everything, including the allocation of funds for gambling.

That's the way it should be, because I don't think other people need to know about the gambling we do. Take for example, suppose there is one person who has experienced heavy losses and has been heavily addicted to gambling. Then he is at the lowest point because he has nothing but family. And he told family that all of his money and assets were sold off because of gambling. I'm sure his family's reaction will be disappointed, angry, even sad. Because of what? Because this stupid person has spent all his money on a game that is uncertain of his victory.

on one hand, this is an embarrassing story that no one else needs to know, so it is right to keep his gambling activities a secret because if everyone around him knew that he was a gambling addict who had spent a lot of money and valuables, he might be bullied and criticized badly by him. people around him and maybe it does not matter to him but for his family it would be very bad and it would be a shame if the family did not know anything about what was happening suddenly getting bad criticism every day becomes the subject of bad talk to people around him and this is painful.

Its okay to keep gambling activities a secret, it does not mean we hide our addiction, but at least one family member or close relative should know because if something bad like this happens there is someone who can explain or help him or her not to become addicted to gambling.

Yes, you can be sure of that, it's still better for other people to know about our gambling activities, but I myself don't want my family to know about this one activity. Because I can make sure my family will be angry or disappointed if they find out that I myself like to gamble even if it's only on weekends. I don't know about other people.

maybe what you mean is "direction", I myself trust my friends more, for some reason I trust my friends more when it comes to direction, even though family is the only way home when we are down but for me it's not. To not get addicted depends on us if we can't take advice from others it's the same thing. So self-awareness is the main thing.

I agree with you on that, because truly gambling activities most at times depends on the country the gamblers domiciled, however there are countries that loves gambling and sees gambling as a source of having fun and as a way of entertainment were as they see gambling as a daily routine stuff so with this kind of country I don't think there would be any discrimination or a negative perception on any gamblers because everybody are doing the same thing.

So there wouldn't be any need keeping there gambling secret from anyone because everybody are doing the same thing as you ar, so there will not be any discrimination.

But however in times of countries that doesn't gambles much should be advised to keep there gambling as a secret because in most cases gamblers could be seen as an irresponsible people, so the best is to keep it as a secret.

[yudi09]

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

You have said it yourself that we live among people who have different views in assessing things. There are differences in the behavior of the people around you that are difficult to generalize.

Those who hide and keep their gambling habits secret get different answers. I have my own view that I did this not because I was afraid of being found out, but because I respect other people who don't do it.
Because I am among people who do not all gamble like me.
Respect them and I will also get the same treatment from them.

[Fredomago]

The entertaining part will be replace of aggresion to win back the losing amount of money that they use, if the person continue to look for a way to chase the money they already lose it will affect their emotional balance, meaning that it will reflect with how they will think about gambling and even they are trying to keep it as secret when chasing loses come out in their minds they will use additional money that not allocated to gambling, then lose it as well, emotional stress and more on focusing into gambling that may lead into addictions.

would not that just be a waste? I mean if you think its better for other people to know about your gambling activities than for your family to know about your behavior while other people can not really be trusted because one day someone else will tell someone else and the news will reach your family. Is not it ?

well, there is a bit of a misunderstanding here, if you trust your friends more, maybe you will ignore advice from your friends more often because there is no difference between you and your friends, but with your family there is definitely a different level, like you are afraid of your family so When your family says you have to stop gambling, you will definitely be afraid and doing this will not ignore it.

Therefore, however bad things that are hidden will later be found out by other people or families, because it is impossible to be safe forever, including gambling habit activities, even though it has been hidden for a long time, it will be seen from us. For example, those of us who always experience defeat must be annoyed with the defeat that is always obtained, and if we continue to lose we will be different, whether it's behavior or something like that, from here other people or family can guess that we are having problems. Inevitably we tell stories because it's impossible to keep it to ourselves, because basically everyone needs a chat buddy to ask for direction or something like that.

That's for sure, because I myself am not good with my family, so that's why I prefer friends instead of family . Even though family gives encouragement to stop gambling it's not easy for a gambler, I think most gamblers are also like this, it's difficult to accept advice from anyone because they only focus on their gambling. It's useless for the family to give encouragement to stop if there is no awareness of the harmful effects of gambling on oneself, before going to family or friends and others, of course there must be self-awareness.

[ethereumhunter]

The entertaining part will be replace of aggresion to win back the losing amount of money that they use, if the person continue to look for a way to chase the money they already lose it will affect their emotional balance, meaning that it will reflect with how they will think about gambling and even they are trying to keep it as secret when chasing loses come out in their minds they will use additional money that not allocated to gambling, then lose it as well, emotional stress and more on focusing into gambling that may lead into addictions.

And keeping their gambling activities a secret can cause more problems to arise because they can exceed their limits and no one knows how much money they have spent gambling. This is very risky because someone could deposit more money to gamble because they think they want to win more but they don't realize that it will only cost them more money. But if he can have good self-control, he can hide his gambling activities and will not get into any trouble, although that does not guarantee that he will not exceed his limits because he gambles in secret. We will never know when we will lose self-control or how long we can control ourselves because in gambling, we can get bigger temptations than before, so we must always be alert and stop gambling immediately if we have had enough of gambling.

well. you have a point, maybe being a lowkey just to protect a gamblers  from some evil eyes that may surrounds them, we all know that some people doesn't agree and support you once they know that you're into gambling and There's a traditional belief that once they know what you're doing, they can ruin it. In a gamblers vocabulary, Luck is very important that's why sometimes they tend to hide what they are doing even in their family members just to avoid losing in a game. Having a self control and limitations is a must and if gambler feels that they are turning being addicted to it, maybe that's the time that you can tell it to them.

Very common impression of someone and dont matter on which community you are involved or living with on which there would really be that always having that negative approach or feeling
about gambling and to those people who are really that getting involved with it would be automatically considered out to be bad person without even trying to look about on whats the actual
reason for a certain person to involved or play gambling. We do know that it is really just that for fun but eventually people do mess up with this thing on the time that they are really
that already making bad decisions through it. We cant really just that make ourselves not to avoid on trying to make things to be kept on secret just because of that
unjustifiable kind of treatment.

yes it is, because everyone has their own choices in determining something related to us, because we ourselves will also run everything in the future. The same is true in gambling, many decisions must be made properly because it will determine the future, not just making any decision, because behind the decisions they make there must be strong reasons behind it. therefore what they decide we cannot argue with it let alone change it if behind the decisions they choose there are strong reasons behind it.
I really appreciate your suggestion, and I might try it later, thanks for the suggestion.
So are you open with your own family about gambling?

However, what you said is the same as what I said in another thread yesterday, not much different. But it's true, sometimes because of money problems can forget about someone or friends and even family like you said, because it's sensitive.

We are all have different perspective in life, but I will agree with you mate if we are a gambler we must tell to our family cause if we hide it then there's a high possibility they will wit mad at you once they will know that you are involve in gambling for a long time and you didn't tell them. And thats a big mistakes for me anyways we don't have the same thought or the same idea so maybe some of you guys are prefer to be quiet than sharing to your family that you are involve in gambling.

This is very risky because someone could deposit more money to gamble because they think they want to win more but they don't realize that it will only cost them more money. But if he can have good self-control, he can hide his gambling activities and will not get into any trouble, although that does not guarantee that he will not exceed his limits because he gambles in secret. We will never know when we will lose self-control or how long we can control ourselves because in gambling, we can get bigger temptations than before, so we must always be alert and stop gambling immediately if we have had enough of gambling.

It can be difficult for a family to prevent a gambler from exceeding their limits, even if they are aware of their gambling habits. It is up to the gambler themselves to take responsibility and make a conscious effort to prevent it. The family can support and encourage the gambler, but they cannot force them to change their behavior.

well. you have a point, maybe being a lowkey just to protect a gamblers  from some evil eyes that may surrounds them, we all know that some people doesn't agree and support you once they know that you're into gambling and There's a traditional belief that once they know what you're doing, they can ruin it. In a gamblers vocabulary, Luck is very important that's why sometimes they tend to hide what they are doing even in their family members just to avoid losing in a game. Having a self control and limitations is a must and if gambler feels that they are turning being addicted to it, maybe that's the time that you can tell it to them.

Some people is unlucky to win a gambling but they don't know what makes them to be unlucky in gambling, so it maybe as result of devilish people who knows your right and left, so you are right in this point and again whatever someone is doing the person don't have to make it publicly and I believe that making it publicly is something that have to do with your luck and it will affect you when your enemy find out that its what you do that sustained you.
