Why do some people hide to gamble

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

I remember when social login also meant it would inadvertently be posting to your feed from the linked account so that would lead to problems in personal activity people really were not wanting to broadcast.

Security wise its not best to make everything public anyway.  On Twitter people have pointed out giving your live location always is not best as it shows when you are away from home; since some accounts belong to rich people with valuables to worry about in the house giving live updates can be questionable, absolutely being this public is not best.

I dont remember any gambling site or casino disclosing information like this though.  You'd have to post details yourself really and to some it doesnt matter at all to discuss.  I find its fine myself but I understand the privacy concerns people have.

Depending the society and culture the individual is inserted, it's possible people will start acting like that towards him due to an public information on his social media claiming he has been involved in gambling practice. It can be harmful for his social network and even his professional career, since people will tend to see him with distrust from that moment on, stereotyping this person as an impulsive, unresponsible one who can't be trusted, especially on financial matters.

And doesn't matter how old the post is, people will still dig his profile for old data and informations, and if they find something related to gambling there from 10 years ago, they will still look to him in a very suspicious manner in the present time. It's like a stigma the person has to carry for his whole life once discovered by the society. The worst aspect of it in my opinion are the effects over the professional life of the person, because it can compromise his capacity of remaining in a job spot or being promoted there to a better function, and consequently freezing his career on long term, due to being negatively reviewed by a boss or supervisor.

why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.

1. They are afraid that if people know that they're gambling, it might affect their reputation or their relationship with other people.
2. They are afraid that people learn that they're gambling especially if they're into too much debt already.
3. They are afraid that their family might know that they're gambling hence, it might affect his/her relationship with his family.
4. Maybe gambling is illegal in their country that's why they're hiding just to gamble.

These are some of the reasons that I know why people or in this case, gamblers are hiding just to gamble. I myself is also hiding the fact that I'm gambling because I don't want my family knows that I'm into gambling because it might affect my relationship to them.

All of these reasons certainly apply to countries that prohibit gambling, but even though gambling is prohibited in their country, there are certainly people who insist on gambling secretly. the aim of which is to avoid being known by many people, including the authorities who might be able to arrest him for carrying out prohibited actions. but on the other hand, it is true that gambling can affect the addict and can affect his relationship with his family, even though this is not the fault of gambling but the fault of each individual.
Apart from that, in countries that allow gambling, in my opinion, they have a greater chance of becoming addicted and of course that is the same as the chance that they will experience problems that are just as big. but if they can control themselves by gambling responsibly without overdoing it, maybe everything will be fine. But gambling that is done secretly or openly has the same chance of becoming addicted.

All the reasons you listed are absolutely correct. I also want to add that if someone hides the fact that he is fond of gambling or betting, then he begins to feel his isolation and think that he is doing something important. Judging by the psychology of people, why do they like to keep secrets and hide something. It adds adrenaline to life.

And every gambler thinks that now he will secretly earn a lot of money from everyone, and will start giving it away, and then everyone will respect him.
But, it turns out that, on the contrary, he quietly loses all the extra money.

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.

We do not have to be ashamed of your gambling participation if we are not misusing the gambling privileges. A gambler that is gambling well and making money that he can always help his friends when they are in financial problems would not be judged that he is a gambler because people will still want to stay close to them as they can benefit in from their good heart. The society hate gambling addicts and not everyone that is gambling. If you keep hiding your gambling participation, you will be looking like a gambling addict in the eyes of everybody that is looking at you. If we want people to stop judging gambling participants as useless people we have to educate them to not see gambling as a bad thing but a fun activity that everybody can participate in but only have to be careful of the way we do it because it can get out of hand sometimes.

Everyone has a reason why they hide their gambling, it's not always the same, but sometimes there are those who, as you mentioned, want to hide it until they really win and then party with their friends so that they are respected by their friends, but on the other hand, when they lose, they won't feel embarrassed either. because he gambles in secret at least no one knows his losses but don't get too used to it because in the end everyone will know when they end up bankrupt and have nothing.

There are other reasons, such as I gamble in secret because I prefer that other people don't know too much about me gambling, so gambling alone at home is fun and no one bothers me, even though I gamble at home, I still try to hide from my children because I don't want to. My children know that I gamble, except for my wife, she is good at setting a budget for my gambling so that I still have good control even if I lose or win. I will never be addicted to gambling because I have limited my budget and will not exceed the limit, let alone excessive, the point is that everyone You must have your own reasons why you prefer to gamble in secret.

[bakasabo]

But I think that many hide the fact that they gamble because they are ashamed of it. They know that people are going to judge them for that. Due to gambling having a negative reputation, those who gamble, want to hide that fact, to hide that they are part of it. It is not that they are afraid that someone will talk bad because they lose money, they just dont want to be connected with gambling. Like society decided, that the job of a cleaner isnt prestigious, and people who works as cleaners often are ashamed of their profession.

Even if a gambler gambles well, there is no guarantee that he will win at gambling. But if he can manage responsible gambling then he can definitely do better at gambling. Gamblers are the people, they have emotions, there is no way to chance to see them differently. Rather, it is not their fault that they want to see themselves in a better position. It has become a human habit that we congratulate a person when he wins a gambling jackpot but scold him when he loses. Everyone should get rid of the idea that gambling is bad. I can say with certainty that it will be so easy for gamblers to help others but that would be very difficult for the ordinary people.

That logic is true , gambler who understand what's the other gamblers is experiencing is something that ordinary people can't explain, I think there are many other opinions about that and we can say that from one gambler to another they are all got that sentiments and own opinions about it, and like what I mentioned above, it's something different when other people shared what they think about you and there's nothing that you can do about it.

It's true what you say, even though we never do bad things because of gambling, if someone already knows that we are gamblers then society will immediately judge us as bad individuals, and the more unpleasant thing that can be experienced is when the gambler experiences misfortune then society Those who know us as gamblers will immediately attribute the misfortune to gambling, even though it could be due to something else.

And if someone asks why hide our gambling, then the opposite question is, why to tell about our gambling? like there is no advantage in opening up about our gambling activities, there is also no advantage in hiding it, in fact, I think that is much better

Yes it is true that it depends on the situation you are in, if for example you are in an environment that is really anti-gambling then obviously there is a high probability that they will have a very negative viewpoint towards gambling and will also put a bad stigma on people who are involved in gambling, And as you said that one of the effects is that it can destroy the popularity of his career and I agree with you that when someone is involved in gambling then usually the people in his environment will no longer put trust in him because they know how bad it is when someone is involved in gambling, the community does not want to have excessive closeness with gamblers because of the bad stigma that the personality of a gambler cannot be trusted and also usually tends not to have good responsibility.

Therefore I think it is clear that there is nothing better than hiding our involvement in gambling, try not to show or tell others that you are involved in gambling because obviously the bad stigma from society will be able to affect or even cause problems in our real lives.

We hide it to avoid judgment, right? The catch: this concealment may be undermining your moderation. Think about it; hiding something gives it life. It becomes forbidden fruit, a shadowy activity. Maybe your subconscious is saying, "This is wrong, this is bad," so keep it quiet. Secrecy can fuel compulsion. Self-fulfilling prophesy. The alternative? Make it public, guy. Consider hosting a poker night with friends or family to socialize. Doing that makes it weak. It becomes like board games or movies

Social gambling has people to keep you in check. They suggest, "Hey man, you've been at this for a while, maybe take a break." Like a built-in regulator. You're thinking, "Man, people will judge me if I gamble openly." But remember: people will judge you no matter what. Why not be yourself? Own it. People's empathy may surprise you

[CoinMin3r]

Why do people hide things? - To make sure they are not in someone's/law's eye or they know they are doing something bad/illegal thing. So if someone is hiding to gamble means he is gambling illegally or playing in unauthorized place to do so. Such places may be conducted by criminals so one is risking not only their money but also their own life. So its always good to go to designated/authorized place if one wants to gamble and have fun.

These are some of the reasons that I know why people or in this case, gamblers are hiding just to gamble. I myself is also hiding the fact that I'm gambling because I don't want my family knows that I'm into gambling because it might affect my relationship to them.

you are not far from the truth and this wass what I also said before, in most time it is because of their reputation they are trying to hide and there are some communities do not like people playing gambling so those gamblers would like to hide and playing. And sometimes they are hiding because of their spouse and probably they did dropped money at home so the best way is for them to hide and play. Because the woman see here husband playing gamble then the man will receive insults at home.

Is not even the issue of shame both even when you are facing challenges people will want to refer the whole thing to gambling they will be like because you are gambling. And people are always seen people that gamble every day as people that are not responsible. A lot of people giving bad name to gambling. And they forget that the same gambling they are saying bad things about have earned a lot of people in the society and people that have benefited will go against what ever anyone is saying. And a lot of people that win always want to give out money to their friends. Not people that will even win and all they care about is their self. They won’t give anything out to a single person.

People are difficult to deal with when you win they are always with you and when you lose they will be the same people stabbing you in your back. If you want to give you can give without the source that is the interesting thing because no matter what you do for people you will still get judged. So example no one knows that I gamble. Just sit down and press my phone. If I win and I have it in mind to give out money then I will give out money without hesitation. Or even tell you were I got the money from. And if they look me like an addict I don’t care and beside they don’t even know that I gamble because I don’t gamble outside it is always in my house, when am relaxed. What every anyone sees gambling as it’s not there fault and they should continue with what ever they believe as far as am winning time to time.
