Why do some people hide to gamble

[Su-asa]

My curiosity led me closer to them I was interacting with one of them and at same time observing what they are doing , one thing I observed was that they stake with huge amount and they don’t give you change even when your money requires change instead you will use it and bet for another round.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.

Since gambling is not a crime i see no reason to why they should hide before gambling or while doing it, that shows that anyone engaged in this kind of act has something he is hiding, this may be from the public or from other people around where he is gambling, i don't know what other dirty secrets we keep away from people, but we should clearly have the understanding of this that gambling is all about having fun and nothing more than this, it's not a crime to do so in a country where its being accepted as a legal thing to do.

Sometimes the reason why they hide it, is because maybe the people around them don't really attest to them being gamblers and that's why hiding it is mandatory. Like for example not every woman would like for her husband to be a gambler and possibly resulting to addict so I guess she will try every means possible to stop him from gambling that's if the relationship is mutually enough to let that actually happen.

We gamble freely when we have nothing to lose. Hiding gambling activities is understandable, you never might have a knowledge and recognition of top influential men in the society, maybe seen pastor gambling, how will you feel? You will quickly assumed the pastor uses tithes and money generated for church projects to gamble, that's the actual sense of your reasoning, that's why we should become more careful with our day to day activities and ensure they're been discreet.

I was walking down my street this evening I saw some group of guys in a hidden corner of an uncompleted building playing WHOT games ordinarily I felt they are just spending usual time as friends and that they are playing the WHOT game to keep themselves busy while discussing.

But when I got closer to them I discovered that there was a dirty container close to them and inside the container is money they bet for the game they are playing , and if not careful observed you will never believe that they are playing bet games .

My curiosity led me closer to them I was interacting with one of them and at same time observing what they are doing , one thing I observed was that they stake with huge amount and they don’t give you change even when your money requires change instead you will use it and bet for another round.

Gambling is considered as a vice by a lot of people, especially those outside the circle, to us it may seem like it's just a full on hobby we do every now and again when the classic hobby choices of ours just don't do the trick, but to other's it's the devil's work and you should stay away from it. Leading some of us to gamble in hiding, in fears of being called out and ostracized even by their family or friend groups for gambling.

In some cases it's because it's the other way around, they think their families will hate them if they found out that the person is gambling, so to make sure that they keep the figure of a man who's got his ducks in a row and is smart with his decisions, he's gambling in hiding,

Lastly, there are people who are good at this, especially when it comes to skill-based games like poker and blackjack, in fear of losing their money from people who are out to get them and their wads of cash, or sometimes just so they don't risk getting banned in the casino, they seclude their identities and make sure they let on as little information about them as possible.

Not every country or every society welcomes gambling. There are some countries or some societies where gambling is an illegal activity and those who gamble are looked down upon by the people of the society. I am a gambler and if someone else knows about my gambling then if I have problems in society or people in the society look down on me then why should I share my gambling issues with everyone to make me feel bad. I think it is always the right decision because there is no need to make the family look bad in the eyes of the society where a little privacy is not a problem. If gambling is to be done in secrecy then it should be done in order to preserve one's self-respect.

You have brought a twist to this part of the discussion with your example. You will be surprised that some people who stand on the pulpit to preach about Jesus Christ still do gambling in their secret place then forgetting that Jesus chased away gamblers from the synagogue with anger to signify he doesn't like it to be done by those who are suppose to show examples to others. The point is that people actually gamble in secret to conceal themselves from people criticizing them because of the way they are known.

This is a case of street gambling and the gamblers can do it at a place where is more comfortable for them, I am not sure to tell you if those guys were hiding or not but even in school, guys will leave a very noisy and busy place and they will go into a hide out or a very quite place, then they will do different gambling games. These students can also do this activity in the school premises where anyone can see them without question them, but the reason why they look for a quiet place is because they don't need distractions from any body. Some people can hide to gamble but it's not usually everyone that hide to gamble. Street gambling can be done any where that those street guys finds suitable for them.

Gamblers generally prefer places where there is no noise or disturbance for betting. Some of its advantages are that a gambler has to pay full attention while gambling. If a gambler loses focus then he will not have a comfortable gambling environment. There could be several reasons for this but one of them is that gambling is not yet socially accepted. Moreover, there are still many countries that consider gambling as illegal. If someone finds out about their gambling, that person is exposed to a variety of questions that many prefer to keep quiet to avoid. If gambling is done in a suitable environment, one can enjoy the real pleasure of gambling there. I am sure they were gambling in such an environment that no one else would bother them. Since gambling is not legal everywhere, many will try to hide it. I myself prefer to gamble alone when it comes to gambling.

Some people hide their gambling habits due to feelings of shame, guilt, or embarrassment about their behavior. They may fear judgment from others, worry about the consequences of their actions, or feel unable to control their gambling urges. Hiding allows them to avoid facing the reality of their addiction and the potential negative repercussions it may bring to their relationships, finances, and overall well-being.

It is true that there are several countries that prohibit gambling because it violates the law or something else. In my opinion, many people have a bad view of gambling because of the many cases that have occurred because gambling has ruined the life of someone who does it. However, what is the problem in my opinion. , with many people having a bad view of gambling, they respond wrongly to gambling, where they respond to gambling with disdain. because gambling itself is not bad if it is done within reasonable limits, with them experiencing many losses and various life problems, I think they themselves gamble excessively so they experience many losses and problems.

Now with countries that legalize gambling, when countries allow gambling, more and more people will gamble, because winnings at gambling are said to be promising but in reality they are not. after that the problem is with themselves, if they themselves cannot control themselves in the sense that they gamble excessively then the same thing, their lives will be ruined because of gambling.

Even if we hide with gambling, that doesn't matter as long as you don't bother relatives or even family members with gambling capital you had.
It's an independent decision that we choose to have for each and everyone in this world of cryptocurrency.
Moreover, in crypto currency not all individuals has the knowledge about it most of them only got an idea from physical money or fiat money betting which circulated online on most online casino and not crypto casino.

It's true, mate.
I am convinced that most gamblers - 95% - with gambling addiction problems hide their weakness from others. They secretly move money away, deceiving loved ones and sinking deeper into a bottomless pit. For them, money ceases to matter, only serving as a source for new bets. Stories about how they steal valuables from family and friends are not uncommon. This sad phenomenon requires attention and support to help them get out of this vicious circle.

I don't see how they were hiding, if you could see them, it means anyone walking on the street could see them as well which isn't how one hides. However, people who hide when gambling locally probably do it so that people from their society don't see them doing it because gambling might not be considered a good habit in their locality or maybe they don't want any of their family members to see them gambling as many families don't allow their members to gamble.

We can often see such gamblers sitting somewhere around the city gambling either with cards or any other game, some would be playing games for fun but some would be betting with money to make it more engaging, some might do it to earn some money but you can't earn a lot in such gatherings, to be honest.

I’m definitely doesn’t feel hat you mention here but I do gambling privately because I don’t want someone staring at me while I’m playing because it’s annoy me for some reason.

Gambling is a form of entertainment. It’s not illegal or something immoral that you need to hide just to avoid criticism. In fact you should be proud because you have the luxury to do it while others afraid of taking risk with their money. Just like drinking beers or hitting cigarettes, gambling is a hobby that gives you satisfaction.

I now see both sides. Some people raise their heads and act like they're better than everyone else. Others dont like being judged. The truth is that some people can handle it. They know how to play, especially when it comes to games like poker where planning is important. People hide because of that reputation, though. Being sneaky all the time is not a good way to live. I think its time to try something new. Im not saying that you should do anything dangerous, but we need to talk about ethical gambling in an open and honest way. Its about being in charge and knowing your boundaries. Stop keeping things secret, put more emphasis on education, and support smart plans. Thats the move that wins.

Negative thoughts are a fine line between addicts and non-gamblers, both always think that one party is doing something wrong. The addict thinks the non-gamblers would blame and criticize him, and the non-gambler thinks the addict will go about stealing and abusing his life for money. Hence, the gambler wouldn't have any other option than to hide from the non-gamblers around. However, that's a wrong move from both parties. Gambling is not something that should be hidden from our friends or family. Provided that they're adults and can decide for themselves what they want. Although not everyone is meant to know. Especially those who could get carried away and would like to try out gambling ignorant.

However, there exist multiple factors why gamblers do hide their gambling habit. Which include the ones mentioned above, stigmas. But, from the recent evolution of gambling, people can easily do it in their rooms. With nobody being aware. So, the player only needs to focus and at some point, wants to surprise his loved one. Hoping that he could win big someday and take them on a cruise or fun events. Those dreams of such gamblers get deterred by the unforeseen troubles that erupt from gambling. While gambling secretly is not fine, non-gamblers should learn not to develop stigmas on gamblers around their vicinity.

Personal reason but yeah that's also valid as everyone has his own way of treating this venue of entertainment, if you don't want someone to stare and watch you while playing, better to keep it as secret so no one will annoy you while enjoying your game.

Gambling is a form of entertainment. It’s not illegal or something immoral that you need to hide just to avoid criticism. In fact you should be proud because you have the luxury to do it while others afraid of taking risk with their money.

I like that treatment, it's a luxury when you have that money to risk with your gambling activities, nothing is wrong as long as you are not annoying anyone and you are using your own money.

Just like drinking beers or hitting cigarettes, gambling is a hobby that gives you satisfaction.

something that will give you that pleasure when you address the lust inside you when playing or betting with the game that you love.

Everyone has their own perspective and point of view on gambling, and with you preferring to gamble in private with the aim that your focus is not disturbed by others then yes that may be the approach that makes you feel more comfortable when gambling. I agree with you that gambling is nothing more than an activity of entertainment and fun, but as for the issue of whether it is better to hide it or not I think it depends on the person, because there are always some countries that give laws that gambling is prohibited in their country so when someone is in that country then obviously they will prefer to hide their gambling activities, Not only to avoid negative criticism from others but also to avoid punishment for violating the government regulations in their country, and I think there is nothing to be proud of just by having the courage to take risks because there is absolutely no success in gambling that can make you get appreciation, gambling is always about the chances of winning which will only happen occasionally and the possibility of losing which is a sure thing.

Even in countries where gambling is legal, a gambler will still receive negative views from their environment, especially in countries where gambling is prohibited through government regulations. The ease of gambling online provides freedom and can reduce negative stigma, as well as provide comfort when you want to gamble. Overall, if we ask the opinion of most people, the conclusion seems to be towards hiding gambling activities. Especially if someone is married and has children, don't let them know that we like to find pleasure through gambling.

The fewer people who know that we are gamblers, the more comfortable we will be, but we cannot deny that there are some people who are proud of their gambling activities. Sure enough, it all depends on one convenience, and we can't fault such a principle. But if gambling has made us depressed, either financially or in a negative view of the environment, then it is better to just hide it.

Many people feel uncomfortable doing something by being watched. What we do is to make ourself having fun with a certain situation we prefer to. It's not something to make other people having fun with us. Unlike a beer or cigarettes, gambling involves a higher risk of losing money. We need to find our way to enjoy it for the money that could be lost. Comfortable way is a preferable option to do it.

Online gambling platforms are the best option for people who like to gamble without feeling observed. Online gambling can be done in times and places where we can have comfortable feeling. Having privacy or choosing our own comfortable situation is not meant to hide what we do, It's just a preferable condition to enjoy activity that can lead us to have satisfactions.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why some do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.

As the name sounds "Whot" is a physical gambling game that I know that people find displeasing to come out openly to partake in it, not that it is illegal in their country but because of how uncomfortable they feel engaging in it openly due to how so many perceived it to be a game that is meant for lazy and irresponsible people who don't know their responsibility in their given family
