Keeping your gambling habit a secret.

[TopTort777]

As far as you’re concerned, gambling is harmful and yet you promote them?
Just how do you promote a harmful sphere to the a society that you wish and hope to be stable someday?

Like you said, as far as you’re concerned.

Well, obviously the society doesn’t take to one man’s concern, a whole lot is been put into consideration but yeah, it’s not uncommon that several persons and the society have seen gambling for a vice. Based on how some addicts and irresponsible gamblers have misused the industry.

The negative aspect to gambling is a reflection of a gambler's irresponsible act while gambling. Gambling isn’t the problem but, the gambler is.

Finally someone has seen the light while many are still blind.

So far I havent seen any science proof that gambling raises addiction, but not human predisposition on being addicted on things. Replace addiction with something else, and those who were addicted to gambling will also be addicted to new thing. Give a person a way to get money quickly and easy, and he will get addicted to that method. If people will get rewarded for every word or book they have read for example, they will get addicted to reading. What then, we would all suggest to keep reading in secret?

Imho illegal things should be kept in secret. But since or if gambling is legal in your place, I see no reason to do it privately, hidden, alone with closed down curtains

The better for us to keep our gambling activities secret will help us to look more responsible without any doubt. Since there are people that see people that gamble a lot as unserious, we need to keep making sure that not every one knows about us to gamblers. It is better for us to keep our gambling activities safe from the public than to look more into gambling in the public. Children are one of the reasons why we need to make sure that we don't gamble too much and we make sure that our gambling activities is sure and prevented from the children if not, we are going to lose more than in reputable to our children.

If you are so afraid that children is going to see you gambling, then dont gamble at schools or kindergartens. Avoid gambling at fast food restaurants also. Despite children, are there any reasons why we all should keep gambling in secret? What if I dont have kids, nor people around me. Should I also hide fact of gambling? Like a pimply teenager who is about to watch some porn. Stop being James Bond and hide gambling habit. Nobody cares that you gamble.

The social stigma around gambling and some other habits in some cultures are really strong.  It's true that many cultures views Gambling as something that should be kept secret, and people who gamble are often viewed negatively, but they fail to realize that not everyone who gambles are irresponsible gamblers or addicts. This social stigma is also very much associated with people who smokes too, most societies often view smokers as evil or negative influences, regardless of whether they're responsible smokers or not, because they believe it's a habit that portrays bad manner

I also prefer to keep it a secret because it is very often perceived negatively in my society. Of course, many people imagine an addicted gambler who constantly loses and borrows money from friends and acquaintances. But I outgrew this stage more than 5 years ago, and I look at the game and gambling in a completely different way. I no longer chase money as before and small bets several times a month are enough for me, where I feel that I need to bet and only in those sports that I like. This is my little world in the game and I don’t want to be pressured by society’s emotional negative attitude towards me. I will continue to play because I enjoy it and I don’t get anything bad from it.

[TopTort777]

Well, smokers make bad for their health, and I havent seen a gambler whos health got worsen because of the number of games he played Most people dont care about smokers, but they do care when they smoke near them and they have to breathe smoke. With gambling it does not work like that. If I stand next to a person who gambles, I do not lose money, nor nothing bad happens to me Dunno why people have such bad attitude to gambling or smoking. When they see someone gamble or smoke on TV, they do not switch channel I think someone posted here: "not everyone who drink alcohol or tried it is an alcoholic". Same with gambling, not everyone who gamble is addicted and is destroying his life and influencing on others.

I think people have put a huge "=" sign between gambling and smoking/drinking/watching porn while being underaged. And because of that, made a conclusion, that all that must be kept in secret.

If a game consisted of only good things and good examples, society would not discriminate but gamblers do not show such evidence, the media often only points out the enormous destruction caused by gambling to participants and gradually propagates it as a habit. As a result, through generations of brainwashing, every mention of gambling will be met with debate and discriminatory views, although there are people who make arguments to show that gambling is not from that perspective, the stigma has been formed since childhood, just revealing this habit will immediately result in being shunned.

I really dont care about how society views me, cause one thign I have learnt I how unstable there all are, just cash out a huge sum or win life changing money from it and you would see how many of them that had a negative view of you start following in that same foot step 🚶‍♂️, it's better you do your shit and care less about ever other person or you don't do it at all and live in a cage of what is right and wrong based on societal view.

Sometimes keeping your gambling habits a secret is not about yourself but to protect your children or your families as gambling individual are seen as not serious citizens in some countries and the family members are going to be stereotype too in the society therefore if you live in such a society and you don't have any plans to relocate then keeping your gambling habits a secret will be the best solution so your children and family members can have a normal life like others.

You'll not be losing anything by keeping your gambling habit a secret as we already have online casinos and sports books that can be used for gambling while being indoors and no individual will be aware that you're gambling. Sometimes it's better to keep some things a secret as not everyone is supposed the know everything about our personal life. Gambling for a living isn't something to be proud of really.

Gambler to gambler is different. I think society treats poker players and casino players differently. That's why: poker players are often considered to be smarter and more strategically minded people, while casino players are often associated with risk and luck. I play poker myself sometimes, and it seems to me that poker players get more respect for their skills and analytical approach to the game. But sometimes people look at me strangely when I say that I like to play at the casino. Maybe because casinos are associated with excitement and money loss, and poker is associated with intelligence and strategy. But I think in the end it's just different ways of having fun, and everyone chooses what they like best.

[hyudien]

Different reasons. Lots of it.
Some are trying to hide it from their wives. Some from their parents. Some are too shy to tell other people that they gamble. Others do like to keep their privacy intact.
We cannot judge a gambler by what he is doing, there could be a deeper reason on why he is keeping it a secret.
IMO, I don't really care what people will talk about. They can gossip all they like until they lose their voices but I will still continue gambling and won't be shy about it.
I never kept it to my wife, she knows it and she also knows that I won't go far as being an addict. So why should I be ashamed outside while the people living in my roof already knew about it?

That's only natural, because everyone has their own perceptions and thoughts. Most people must have bad thoughts about gambling so it is not wrong to hide the gambling activities carried out. Because in my opinion it is also better to keep it a secret than to publish it, including the winnings too, if we get a win and publish it there are probably people who will not like it like our own friends.
There must be people talking about us from behind about what we do, because even in a friendship environment I am sure there are prejudices that our friends have against us, indeed they can comment until they run out of votes about what we do, but in my opinion if the gambling we do is not detrimental to others then just do it, I will also do it if it does not harm others.

Making gambling public can also affect the family.  It will have a big impact especially on the children of the family.  Because the child will try it with enthusiasm and become addicted to it  And if gambling is not kept hidden, there are many other problems to face.  And if there is a big win from gambling, that should be kept hidden, otherwise someone may be in danger for that too.  Gambling is not a good habit so making it public will only cause problems and not bring anything good.

Many people decides to hide their gambling activity from the other people because they thinks that's the better thing to do as the other people doesn't like gambling. The other people thinks that gamblers can't control themselves and if someone is gamblers, he can related to alcohol and smoke because that's what happen to them in the offline casino. But some people can masters a good self-control so that will not gives impacts to them when they playing gambling because they knows that gambling is only an entertainment in their spare times. They will not playing gambling excessively because they already sees what's happen to other people so they always trying to limits their gambling activity. They also hide their gambling activity from other people because that's what makes them comfortable when playing gambling.

I agree, children should be free from all addictions, they are very curious, when they see parents who play in the casino they will want to do the same and if they don't let them they will look for a way to do it, that's why things always They must be done with great care, when there are children, the activities shown must be very careful, it is something very delicate.

The case of children is always something very delicate, they are people who do not understand the risks very well, they see it only as a fun game and if they see that the parents do it and enjoy it, they want to feel that experience, then it is It is better in that case to keep it a secret and later if you talk to them about the games because in the same way on the Internet when they are browsing they will come across that advertising, so it is better for them to know it.

I think keeping your status as a gambler a secret is really a wise choice. Of course, there are still many people who cannot control their emotions when gambling. Then they start to destroy their lives and have an effect on their family and those closest to them. I think that's why gambling is illegal in some countries and many religious laws strictly prohibit gambling. Maybe gambling is not the cause of addiction because it is a behavior that arises from a person, not from activities such as gambling. But the problem is that there are so many irresponsible gamblers who spend a lot of money gambling and ruin their finances and they are insulted by their families because of their stupidity. So I think there's a lot to consider here.

  Most times I feel like the reason they keep thier gambling addiction to thier self is cause of shame, some people don’t have the courage to tell others how much they have lost. They prefer to wallow it down to their self, living in regret and disappointment. When guilt starts kicking in, it may lead to depression or even turn suicidal in the worst case. It is not a shame to speak up to someone to talk about your vulnerability. The best outcome usually comes when you talk to a third party. The bettor also needs to do himself a favor by being disciplined to resist it urge of coming bank. Be prepared to deal with relapses as it will happen treat it as a learning moment, but be honest and try to avoid the situation in the future. It not an easy step though but one has to do all that is necessary to avoid going back.
  If necessary stay off anything gambling, discipline yourself to stay off gambling for a year or even more it your choice, if you can’t beat the compulsive habit then you shouldn’t involve in gambling. one has to to be strongly determined to quit an addiction that is unproductive and sucking one’s time, money & energy. Studies have shown that sports or even games can help cheer up the mood and increase the will power that you need to achieve to quit an addiction. Also Being alone and being lonely are not the same . Enjoy the company of your friends . Also read some books when you are alone. It takes the boredom away .

Having an addiction depends on the category we are interested in, in my opinion, meaning that gambling is only a tool for a person to have an addiction, but everyone who tries the casino to gamble is called a gambler, and if it's drugs or cocaine, drug addicts are drug addicts, and others are playing live streaming poetry of Dota, etc.

And let's just remember that there are other categories that are really prohibited by all countries, such as drugs, cocaine, and sometimes even marijuana. What is my point? In all addictions, when there is too much, the result is not really good unless the one you choose is good for everything we do. Now, if we think it's not good for children to see us playing gambling online or physically, we do it because we don't want them to learn to gamble at a young age, so we hide it secretly because we also can't stop ourselves.

If you make your gambling public, I don't think anyone have anything to do about that because you are not using people money to gamble, but if you are heading any organization and people see you gamble, they will think you are using the organization money to gamble and it will put such person job for trouble.

 I gamble in the secret base on the family I came from because, the family I came from they don't allow female child to get involve in gambling and if they see you gambling they will conclude in the presence of your parents that you don't have future as a girl because they believe that gambling is made for only male children only

Bad habits like gambling must be kept secret in order to protect the social reputation. In the case of jobs, the matter is different because serious addictions like gambling must be hidden in the job sector or the department must be held accountable for gambling. Moreover, if an employee who is addicted to gambling becomes open to everyone about his gambling habits, his self-esteem will definitely be damaged in front of his colleagues.
On the other hand, the privacy of gambling must be maintained in the family, especially the family members who are addicted to gambling are socially looked down upon and distanced from them in various social culture and events.

If the environment where we live views gambling habits as a bad thing, of course we have to keep our gambling habits a secret, because if they find out about these habits, of course this will have a bad impact on us and they will also see us as people who should be avoided because our gambling habits and if they have an open habit about the gambling they do of course they must first see whether their environment views gambling as normal or not and if the environment does not like gambling of course they must be able to keep their gambling habits a secret.

Yes, it's true that it's useless to hide any gambling from children when they ask about gambling or accidentally see our gambling activities, it's best to just explain it well and don't say it's a fun game because we all know that children like fun games. It's best to say that it's a risky game and explain the bad effects of playing a game like that or give a reasonable explanation so that children don't try to play it, let alone ask questions like that. The thing to worry about is that when they're outside the house, it's clear they could gambling without our knowledge.

It is important to keep our gambling habits a secret from our children. As much as possible, never gamble when your children are not asleep, it is best to gamble when they are asleep because they are worried that seeing our gambling activities will be very fatal, even though maybe one day they will see an advertisement on social media. media or YouTube there are gambling advertisements and they ask, it's better to explain it ourselves, don't let other people explain it, which ends up being a misunderstanding that makes them not understand and try gambling.

This is human nature that if you do anything in excess and you are interested in it, it will become an addiction. Some addictions may be good but most of the addictions are bad and gambling addiction is a worse thing as a gambling addict will keep on spending and losing money in gambling and hence it will just create more and more problems for him.

If people will get rewarded for every word or book they have read for example, they will get addicted to reading. What then, we would all suggest to keep reading in secret?

This is same that a person who is involved in drugs and we advise him to keep on taking drugs but secretly  
Doing a bad thing or developing a habit that is not good for oneself will harm you no matter if you do it openly or hiddenly. A person gambling hiddenly still loses money and it won't remain a hidden fact that he lost in gambling. Eventually his family friends will come to know that he is a gambling addict.

Privacy is something we don't keep on check if not gambling whether you are gambler or you are not a gambler, you are not supposed to tell people that you gamble, you might ruin your relationship with some people as you don't know some people belief with gambling or even in a place where you work. Some companies don't like to see their workers involved in gambling and that's because of the inherent characteristics in gambling, they think gambling makes one lose focus and don't take their job serious and that's true in some cases.

Another reason why gambling should be secret within you is that you don't know who might be top off when you win a jackpot, we have seen scenarios where friends kill each other because the other won a big cashout from gambling and how did that happen? That's because he informed everyone that he won money from gambling, it should be buried within you and not everyone should know about it for safety reasons.
