Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[bitvalak]

It's not a matter of pride or not, in the environment where I live it's exactly like you said, if they know there are gamblers they will think we are very bad, and in my country gambling is strictly prohibited in all ages so it's normal they can think like that , but if fellow gamblers it doesn't matter if they know that we are gamblers, so I better hide it, for convenience

In Southeast Asian countries, there are many people who believe that gambling is a bad thing. But don't we realize that there are now many online gambling game platforms with virtual cash, which has become a subtle campaign so that people start to want to know about real gambling. Even in certain countries they don't ban these applications because they don't use real money but virtual money. Like it or not, almost everyone is now forced to gamble, whether for reasons of mere curiosity or even to the point of actually getting involved in real gambling. So I think hiding that we are actually gamblers is impossible nowadays, in fact there are many young people who show off on social media about their gambling activities.

I understand what you mean, it is possible that the winnings obtained in gambling can return to where they started, because as you said they are trapped in a cycle of addiction. and the winnings that they have obtained can also make them think about gambling again because they want to win again, but if they have won and cashed it in and not long after they return to gambling again, it is very likely that the winnings that have been obtained will be deposited back into the gambler. and disappeared again. because as you said, the chance of winning cannot be measured with certainty. but what is certain is defeat.

I agree with you, it is better to hide gambling activities, because many people have a bad view of gambling, so if other people know that we are gambling, it can cause conflict which might become a problem, or could become the subject of gossip. Although this depends on the country which allows gambling or not, in my opinion it is not appropriate for gambling to be publicized.

This is greed and many gamblers have experienced failure because of greed that they cannot control, maybe if they are lucky they can get much bigger money than their previous winnings but this is impossible.
Luck will never come consecutively at the same time, each gambler will only have one chance and when this opportunity cannot be taken advantage of then they will only suffer much bigger losses.
Awareness that they must be able to take advantage of the winnings they have obtained is often forgotten and in the minds of gamblers they are too ambitious for big and truly satisfying results.
It just that things like this are not experiences that can be learned from but instead become bad habits that are always done.

We have to be able to take good care of ourselves because in social or social environment, even in group of friends, no one knows what the future will be like if everyone knows about the gambling we do.
All of this is also for our own good while in the gambling industry and to be able to avoid sentiment and bad impacts that could occur.

since there are a lot of judgmental people around especially now, it's really better to keep the gambling activities we do to ourselves to avoid hearing opinions from other people. I won't lie but I became that kind of person too, especially when famous personalities have issues related to money and gambling, it's easy to judge them because when we hear the word gambling, negative thoughts immediately come to mind.

Well, don't be afraid and don't be surprised, basically without us knowing or realizing it. we also sometimes become perpetrators who like to judge other people, or people around us are caught in gambling. that's how it is, but the point we are discussing is not what I said at the beginning of the post.

When it comes to gambling, in fact there is nothing that forbids us from keeping what we like a secret, including gambling. what is certain is that loyal gamblers have reasons that vary greatly depending on the situation and conditions of each gambler. especially those related to name and reputation, so it's only natural because until now gambling is still seen only from a negative side and I can totally understand that. ah, for me personally, to be honest, I don't care if people know that I like betting on football or some of the games provided by the casino platform. after all, what we spend is our own money. my principle is that no one is harmed at all. especially, the closest family. thus, everything is safe and under control.

The problem of negative perception, let it go because after all they have the right to judge. the point is, I stick to my personal principles. there are no people who I have harmed, as for the people who judge me, that is their personal judgment and it is not my responsibility to explain it. I prioritize principles and integrity, I mean, when we work, I do it professionally without any indication of gambling. when I have a relaxing time session, it means I have the option to play around with this hobby of mine.  but I am also human, of course I have secrets, including keeping gambling a secret from certain people. Firstly, my parents should not think other things. secondly, my children because it is not yet time for them to learn something they don't understand yet. so, just relax and enjoy our role.

[Makus]

That's right, luck is only temporary, the essence of gambling is losing money, therefore we as gamblers must always be careful in every action we take. and I agree with you that what differentiates fellow gamblers is self-control and the actions they take. If he is in good control then he is a responsible gambler, whereas if he is out of control then he is a gambling addict. And it is true that it would be better if we covered up our gambling activities to other people because it is not certain that other people will be able to accept our activities.

It very funny how most persons think they'll become rich through gambling, unknown to them that they are just setting a basic foundation for addiction. Gambling is a game of give and take, but if you get this interpretation wrong, you might end up addicted or quitting the game. Some persons join the gambling community through ads on social media and some apps, were they hype the winning accuracy of any participate, but funny enough when they begin to gamble they have a different experience other than what they saw on the ads.

We raised small amount of money from gambling, but the bigger ones comes from solid investment made, we're suppose to be living well and keep making plans to go higher in every level we found ourselves. I keep my gambling activities private because there's no need to start raising alarm for the public to noticed especially when you're holding one important position in the society. Gambling is not a right choice to selects, however there are numerous ways to enchanced and invest in stocks. We gamble and that doesn't mean any negative thougts.

Many people doing the same as you to hide their gambling activity because they don't wants public know that they are a gambler. We don't wants the public say anything bad about us but they don't know the right. Playing gambling is a personal decision but those who hide their gambling activity must know how to treat gambling well so they don't have a problem from gambling. They need to used gambling properly and not gambling excessively to avoid addiction that many gamblers faced. Hiding our gambling activity is our choice too especially if we lived among the public that don't like gambling. We need to take care ourselves from gambling and from the problem behind gambling.

Lossing money isn't the essence of gambling actually, no body will see a thing that will make them loose money and still want to continue loosing except they have got a reason they wanted to get on such and the motive failed then they will now have to accept the fate of the losses they just got but then the real essence of gambling has always been between entertainment and making money, beyond this two I don't people will really venture into gambling.

There are people who we know wouldn't mind knowing about our gambling activities and with such people I don't think it's a big deal letting them know that you are a gambler but then if you are around those whom you know wouldn't welcome your gambling activities wholeheartedly then you should just preserve your reputation and keep your habit to yourself because it will means that you would be looking different to them when they get to know you are a gambler. Having self control while gambling is a really good thing that will help both the gambler and other people around such a gambler because he will not be at the risk of using their resources to gamble since he has got control over it but when he isn't he may like use it with the hope of recovering it back and then end up ruining others aswell as their selves.

If greed has taken over then obviously gambling will become a mess even not just gambling maybe everything that is done will be a mess including thoughts and actions. and many people who gamble with them can't control themselves so they gamble with emotions and loss of control to their own detriment. it's true what you said, luck will not come often and not at the same time, luck will only come once in a while, so that's why as much as possible we should be able to take advantage of luck when it happens.

When you get a win, of course, the temptation to increase the amount of the bet is there, so they continue gambling with the winnings that have been obtained. as you said, many cases have happened that the winnings that have been obtained are lost again, because they cannot be aware of and cannot take advantage of their own opportunities. to avoid big losses it is in our own choice, if we take risks then we should be able to accept the risks that will occur such as the loss of winnings that have been obtained. it is not a thing and not a strange case anymore.

I would prefer keeping my gambling activities private as it literally doesn’t concern anyone else. Keeping your activities secret cause of what people might say about you is pretty weak. I really do understand how some societies frown upon gambling and gamblers and how some ignorant individuals are quick to give unsolicited and quite useless opinions.
You should understand that people would always have something to say irregardless of what the situation may be. People are quick to judge others and call out what they perceive to be wrong in their lives while being totally oblivious to the wrongdoings in their own lives.

It would be nice if you wouldn’t dwell so much on what people would think of you. You can be the most generous person on earth but would still have people who hate your guts.

Gambling is essentially a privacy practice where a gambler may not engage in gambling in public if he wishes, as privacy must be included in this. Humans are social creatures. Humans cannot do whatever they want here, and even if they do, they must be careful not to have a negative impact on others. Moreover, in order to live as a family, some privacy matters of one member must be kept separate from other members or kept secret. Moreover, some of the secret harmful habits of adults should be kept secret from the children so that they do not spread among the children. Children should always participate in gambling with confidentiality so that children do not imitate. In schools and colleges boys and girls should participate in gambling by maintaining privacy.

For pastimes like gambling, the "live and let live" concept resonates with me. Who says what people should enjoy in their free time? Your honesty about not caring what others think has a refreshing quality. Trust in one's ideals and decisions.

However, there's another layer. Gambling (and any stigmatised hobby) has a mental component. Secrecy and selective sharing are part of how we manage our mental space and maintain your tranquilly. You showed responsibility and caring by setting boundaries to protect your family.

Truthfulness and openness also affect mental health and personal growth. Constantly keeping secrets, especially from loved ones, can strain our public and private identities. To manage our wants and our family's while preserving mental equilibrium is difficult.

Yes, it is true that what you are conveying, a perception like that will actually make someone more addicted to gambling because they are not equipped with good understanding and good self-control so that someone thinks that gambling can make them rich. and make a lot of money.
Yes, community factors are also very influential in encouraging someone to enter the world of gambling, because there are many temptations from advertisements via the internet and gadgets so that someone can easily access them and slowly they will start to be lulled by these many temptations. . in every gambling game they access and view.

[Makus]

So gamblers should be more care with whatever they see online most ads are just created to over hype the casino. And after watching them one could feel he has seen an easy gambling casino to lots of win. The earlier you take gambling as a fun activity the better for you not to become addicted or disappointed with whatever you see around. It difficult to keep your gambling activity secret especially if you like using a casino gambling hall to place your bets.

These advertisements were created to attract the attention of gamblers to enter the casino and gamble. And many gamblers end up trapped in gambling, especially as many of them choose to hide their gambling activities from other people. They really have to be able to control themselves well so that they don't lose control of themselves.

If they often see those gambling advertisements and become interested in trying the casino, it could lead to more losses. No one was watching him when he gambled, so he was free to gamble, making him gamble more often. And that's what makes many gamblers eventually lose control of themselves and become addicted.

If there are gamblers who choose to keep their gambling activities secret, they should really have the ability to control themselves well. That's because there are so many temptations from gambling that can make them forget and end up falling deeper into gambling.

When a gambler can manage his gambling activities through self-control, he can manage gambling in secret. In gambling there are many people who gamble but no one knows anything about them. Controlled gambling can be conducted so that the gambler's family or relatives do not get any information about gambling. But if the opposite happens i.e. the gambler conducts uncontrolled gambling then today or tomorrow his gambling will be exposed to everyone.

Almost all gamblers try to keep their gambling secret. If the gambler's acquaintances or family members find out about the gambling, the enjoyment of gambling normally can be hindered. For those reasons, it is better to keep secret gambling activities. However, I have seen many gamblers who do not share their gambling with their partners but they fail to keep their gambling a secret due to some uncontrolled gambling behavior.

Both sentiments value with how a gambler thinks about their gambling participation, they've got that impression that by luck they can change their financial fate and they can shortcut their way getting rich, I guess if not all most of those who play and have this kind of mindset already lose a lot inside gambling and they can't control their emotions anymore, for some, they are just hiding it and trying to make it looks like they are just doing fine but with urgency to gamble they will still being caught according to how they behave as they really doing things unusual and even how they hide it, there are things that will expose it thru their actions.

I agree to that, if the person/gambler can manage his gambling participation well, he can hide things without any notice, time and money managements are very important not to get that too much engagement, and the good thing, you can simply stop and quit if you have that good management inside you.

Those who became addicted due to their wrong reasoning that gambling can make them wealthy overnight can not fully hide their addiction from people around them, because no matter how they try their emotions will one day tell the truth that they aren't fine because  People like that make lots of mistake in their gambling by letting their emotions speak over their knowledge. If they keep acting weird, then definitely a survey would be carried out by their friends or family the truth will surely come out, and aside that most addictions lead to irresponsible gambling which would be very obvious after a while.

those who are addicted to gambling inevitably develop strange interactions or habits that family or close friends are not used to seeing. because irresponsible gambling behavior will certainly involve some of the people around the gambling addict over time.
New habits may be adopted by gamblers, such as borrowing money even though they have just gotten paid and the situation continues to be repeated like that for a long time.

To your last statement about keeping gambling activity a secret most especially for those who gamble on offline casinos, I might agree with your but not completely, for i believe that choosing to keep a thing secret or make it public is always in our hands, there is always a way to go about such a thing.
For example, if you like to gamble in offline casinos and still don't want anyone that knows you knowing that you gamble, all you have to do is choose a physical casino that is very far from the area where you live, and where any of your relatives live, you can go there anytime you want, spend the amount of time you want and then travel back home when done, it's as simple as that.

And speaking on what ads of casinos usually say or the impressions they give, compared to the actual live experience, I would say that that is just what marketing is all about, if they tell you and I the truth of or behind gambling through their ads, non of us will want to gamble, in fact, some of us already gambling may even decide to stop, but the casino know well to always make gambling very attractive to viewers of their ads, that is the only way the casinos can lure the views into gambling if the viewer is someone who has never gambled or has not been gambling before.

Yes, it is true and the development of behavioral changes occurs consciously or unconsciously, in my opinion this or changes in character and habits are very likely to occur, especially for those people who are already in the addiction phase where they always gamble with desperation or emotion due to not being able to accept the fact of defeat that can never be avoided no matter how skilled you are. And the first person who will feel and know or realize the change is the close family of the addicted person because the family is the one who interacts with the person more often.

Or some of his close friends will also definitely feel it, such as one of them from the problem of loans which I think is an action that must be done by addicts when they run out of money to fund their gambling, and sometimes they borrow forcibly without thinking about how to pay it. Usually from some of the cases that have occurred such people run away from responsibility, or they mean they don't pay their debts because when they have money but the money is used for gambling instead of paying debts, this is always a problem between them and the people who lend money.
