Why do some people hide to gamble

[Ojima-ojo]

Among reasons why people hide their gambling activity, nobody mentioned that gamblers might hide from other gamblers, because they are afraid or will feel uncomfortable, if other gamblers would ask them to borrow money, or would blame them. There are cases when people place bet like someone else, lose and then blame others saying «I though you were sure that this bet is going to win». Or they dont want someone to approach them and ask for a loan, because they are gamblers like them and they know that «that are going to win and return that loan».

This is really funny mate because as far as I know, I don't see any rich person that made so much money from gambling that have a steady cash flow to be borrowing, gambling is not like a business where people make sales each day to accumulate surplus to borrow others, because as a gambler one will always only have the spare money that can give them the next game, betting on those games only with available funds and no enough to borrow others all the time, at least I haven't seen such scenerios in my environment since I started gambling.


Although having such thoughts is ok and preparing for ways to make others not have notice of your gambling activities is far ok and enough so as to sustain your cash flow and also to maintain your privacy, since we can gamble online from the comfort of our homes

[Accardo]

hiding gambling is based on your own understanding within your environment so many people who hide and the Gamble they do that based on did not like people to notice that yes there are a gambler I have not seen anything wrong keeping gambling in secret on your own so I basically known gambling is all about what you planned for and what you want to achieve

Keeping gambling a secret from other people is a very natural thing even though gambling site owners actually really want more people to gamble so that their gambling place can be known by many people. Because sometimes the people we keep secrets from are also gamblers, even though maybe they don't gamble in the same place as we have been doing all this time. But still, if there is someone who doesn't want himself to be known as a gambler, then he starts to create walls between other people about this, even though for me this is a normal thing and doesn't need to be done as long as the environment we live in is still safe enough.

Gamblers who secretly engage into gambling are not making any other mistake than isolating their gambling habit. Which idea, is not good and could affect the player in future. This is necessary, because gambling addiction doesn't give a warning before it affects a player. However, the need to stay hidden when gambling can be to help other non gamblers to stay away from gambling. They are some people who would know about our gambling habit and will join immediately. Hence, it's crucial to play where nobody will see us only when we have such purpose of safeguarding unqualified people like kids from engaging into gambling. It's also good for a player to share his gambling habit with his friends, expecially fellow gamblers. Who can relay any trouble that arises in future to the gambler's family.

That person not necessarily has to be rich to borrow money. When someone see you gambling, he might think that you might be able to lend him a little bit. Such idea might raise in gamblers head when he sees someone like-minded person. I am sure that if someone on a crypto forum would ask you for help with crypto related issue you would do or would consider doing. Because you are "in the same boat". But if a random person asks for help, you would probably pass.

As for me, I really do understand why most people hide their gambling activities, because in some localities, gambling activities is being frown at, and when you are seen gambling, you will be seen as an irresponsible person that will eventually be made wretched by your gambling activities one day.

Like in my own locality, if you go into any of the local betting shop, almost all the people engaging in serious football betting activities are poor people's, because they See's it as a means of income, and the more they put in more effort, the more they are being wreck financially by it, and to tell you the truth, you will hardly see any rich person gambling with the intention of making money, because almost all rich people knows that it's not the best way of making money, they only do it for fun, it's mostly the poor people that sees gambling as a means of making money, so people most hide their gambling activities, so that they wouldn't lose respect, from people that respected them so much, because gambling is tag as irresponsible activities.

They may feel comfortable not to gamble in the public and it is possible that they do not see it as hiding but as something just normal for them to do because they may think it is better to let it be that way.

In some areas, people view gambling as a bad habit. When there are some people playing gambling, other people will judge those people do something bad. That's why some gamblers prefer to hide their activities. I think it is normal, we can understand what they do very well. I also will do the same way if it is in may city. People here also view gambling as a negative matter, no people brave to play gambling in a public are.

But if gambling is not legal in your country, that means they can not gamble in public.

Sure, this is one of the reasons why people hide their gambling activity. In some countries, gambling is illegal matter. If we are caught doing gambling, the authorities will definitely arrest us. It is a ridiculous idea to gamble in a public area, it is the same as suicide. Normal gamblers must hide their gambling activities, it is the best way to do.

Why is it always hidden? Because reputation matters more than poker chips. However, the wealthy bet for fun, not survival. Very horrible joke. Less money means more gambling for a way out. Not just bad judgment, but desperation. These people are gambling with poverty. To be honest, casinos? Those damn vultures. They make billions off the desperate. New thinking is needed. Judge the system that pushes gamblers to the brink instead of the gambler. Calling them irresponsible is easy, but what about governments and society that leave them no choice

Well, it's true, one of the reasons why others choose to hide their engagement in gambling activities is because they don't want to ruin their reputation in the eyes of other people, we know that once they find out that you gamble, the first thing that comes to their mind are purely negative effects, especially the word "addicted" because other people can see what the effects of gambling are on people who cannot manage themselves when it comes to gambling. So in order to avoid ridicule from those they meet, they prefer to ignore it, that way they can gamble better without thinking about anything else but winning.

Most people don't like to be seen outside gambling, maybe because they prefer to gamble indoors or they just don't prefer to be seen as gamblers publicly. You know at times some people are quick to judge and can easily tag anyone as notorious if they are seen gambling often or irresponsible, to avoid this most people prefer to stay indoors.

No one wants to be known in the society as infamous. And since gambling is a forbidden and dangerous addiction, they want to nurture it in the Buddhist house. A gambler rightly wants to hide behind a mask. They do not want to expose their bad form to society or their relatives. They consider themselves very clever. For example, a gambler comes home after losing $10,000 on a tide vote. He will naturally be in a bad mood that day. And this bad mood will be noticed by his family members. His family must try to find out or find out the reason for his moodiness. In this way, it is caught by the family or caught by the society. Actually, gambling is a bad thing. Which will smell no matter where you hide it.

Exactly, hiding gambling activities is not a very bad or good thing for us in society because gambling can be well accepted and there are also those who think gambling is bad and in my opinion that is normal.
Nowadays gambling has developed very rapidly in society so that this activity is seen openly. However, what determines whether we are good or bad in the eyes of society is how we use gambling itself, whether we can control ourselves in carrying out gambling or not. If we can control it then I think society will not think badly of the casino we are running, on the other hand, if we use it excessively then it will definitely have bad consequences for us and society will also judge us badly about ourselves.

Gambling is not socially accepted. People who gamble are usually addicted and at that time they lose their normal balance. Family as well as socially they can be criticized as an addicted. Because of these allegations, most gamblers try to hide their gambling. If the family of a gambler knows that he is addicted to gambling or gambling then his family will start behaving differently towards him. Gamblers do such things to avoid such situations. Generally people sees someone gambling, regardless of what he has done, people will have a bad impression of him and because of this fear, people prefer gambling indoors or in various secluded places. Many prefer gambling away from the crowd or alone to be more focused on gambling.

Yes, maybe that's another reason why gamblers play their games in secret because we don't know what's going on in other gamblers' minds when they don't have any money. Automatically if they see other gamblers they will start approaching and borrow money on them so they can gamble together. Even though this is the same as extortion because in gambling someone has to have their own money without bothering other people who are gambling. This will also make other gamblers uncomfortable who want to gamble and enjoy their gambling without having to think about other people borrowing money from them because I too will feel annoyed if someone borrows money from me to use for gambling.

However, for me, it's not too closed off to hide and avoid people like that because gambling is everyone's right and if we don't know other gamblers who borrow money. We have the right to refuse for various reasons because we also gamble using our own money and if we don't have money. Yes, at least borrow money from the bank, not from friends or other gamblers, let alone blaming other gamblers who are also gambling.

Well, there are communities who still thinks that way but in this growing industry which already been accepted by more countries I guess that kind of treatment is no longer the big reason why gambler's hide their gambling participation, it's more on avoiding those toxic people who can't accept the reality in life, those who are still criticize people who are involve into gambling, they just don't want to talk much about their activities and they are avoiding any confrontation about their gambling activities.

[CroverNo01]

Most people hide to gamble because in our society today,when you gamble,they see you as someone who won't make it in life,they see you as someone who is wasting money,and the moment you are seen in the gamble hall,the assumption is that those people are the frustrated people in the society.But they forget to know some persons feed their family from that gamble hall,some perents have made it in life because maybe they've won big,and they won't anounce it,knowing fully well that he was being criticised when he was gambling.I think in this world,what ever you are doing,it is good to do it with all sincerity without lookinv at what people say about you.

[South Park]

Well, there are communities who still thinks that way but in this growing industry which already been accepted by more countries I guess that kind of treatment is no longer the big reason why gambler's hide their gambling participation, it's more on avoiding those toxic people who can't accept the reality in life, those who are still criticize people who are involve into gambling, they just don't want to talk much about their activities and they are avoiding any confrontation about their gambling activities.

In my experience the number of those toxic people has gone down, but the level of toxicity of the remaining ones has increased, and in my opinion this has to do with social media usage, since some people are so used to say whatever they want on social media without consequences, they have wired themselves to always look for conflict against anyone that does not share their ideas, and if they think that gambling is wrong then they will confront and attack anyone that is a gambler, so in order to avoid those people the easiest thing you can do is to keep quiet about your gambling.

Exactly,  there are existing people who have that access thru social media which can create conflicts and those who are involved thru gambling they don't want to compromised that's why they consider not to allow anyone and hide their gambling activities,  it's a preferences that self-explanatory and for sure there are different perspectives and opinions regarding to this. Some may already open but other are still not in terms of revealing their gambling participation.

I know of cases in which, thanks to social networks, there have been friends who have even gotten divorced just because they were told something on social networks that they shouldn't have, so this may mean that one cannot have complete freedom, in fact I also have the habit of Putting up photos of our small children, because we don't know what kind of sick people can see them , the same thing happens with something as simple as the fact that a person wants to hide their taste for casino games. , it is evident that everything is known out there, so this type of things are very free and can be seen by any type of person If you do not establish it in the privacy settings, it is better to have all types of data well saved and thoughts.

As simple as that things can go wrong, though that kind of sentiment is not the main idea of this topic but yeah, the harm that can spread using social media is something that will affects people's life, and if you connect things into gambling, just the same, it easy to spread bad information about someone's gambling activities.

Chances that even you are just playing to have some fun and your are not always playing can be shared as you are already addicted, things like that will easily bring interest and you'll be misjudge by some of your close relatives and friends just because someone shared your gambling participation.

A lot of people don't actually understand what it means to stay private on the internet. Many people who are gamblers actually fail to realize that open gambling online can actually tarnish their relationship with their loved ones. Millions of viewers watch what we do on the internet including those who actually love us and such people may be embarrassed to find out that we are doing it openly for the world to see.

However when the problem sets in, those who are dear to us actually suffer this alone, the whole bill will be placed on them. Hence it is important to always keep our gambling habit secret, that is why I don't blame those who secretly gamble. Although, this form of gambling is very risky in terms of gambling addiction. If a secret player gets addicted there will be no one to realize that he's addicted and remember addicted people don't actually go out to seek for help.

On the long run, it is also crucial to note that gambling secretly also helps our close friends or family who learn from us not to learn the wrong way. Because when they see us gamble, it's a sign for them to think gambling is good for them, as inexperienced people. Since the player is someone they respect. There exist multiple reasons to why people gamble without letting anyone know of their habit. It is also to the players best interest, as everyone have their reasons to anything they do, especially on the internet.

Of course social media is one of the biggest factors that can influence a person in any aspect such as in terms of personality, beliefs and mindset, many positive or negative things are shared by others and for the problem of gambling I think it is a fact that this is an activity that has a negative point of view in the eyes of society as a whole which is where if there is someone who shares information that he is involved in gambling or shares other people's involvement in gambling on social media then maybe the people who know you or the people you spread it to will be rated as someone who has a bad personality by society because they are involved in gambling.

As you said that it does not matter even if we are responsible gamblers, the stigma of society will still be difficult to avoid when it knows this information, which is usually when people find out that you are involved in gambling then usually they will avoid you, the first reason is most likely they don't want you to borrow money from them (even if you don't have the intention to borrow money) and secondly because they don't want to be affected by the bad effects of gambling that you do.
