Why do some people hide to gamble

[Stable090]

Gambling is not a bad thing but can be considered as one of the main sources of entertainment and passing time. There are many who live a lonely life but gambling is the only good source of entertainment for them.

Gambling should just be a source of entertainment, but people are no longer making it their source of entertainment but their source of income, which is making people have the wrong perception about gambling. I will say most of the people who are gambling just for the sake of money are addicted to gambling, and we all know the crazy things some addicted gamblers do, which makes people think gambling is a bad thing.
 
Addicted gamblers can do anything to make money just to gamble, they can go to the level of disturbing the community peace just because they want to make money to gamble, so most people are already thinking the only people who gamble are irresponsible people, but they don’t know that only addicted gamblers do crazy things.

If you are good boy and that impression is known to your place and family, there's no way that you want them to know that you're a gambler. Because once they knew it, you're going to be ashamed of yourself and having that said, you just want to hide that than to let them know. And another reason is you don't want to hear them say such things against you because it's always a negative impression when our families know someone who is a gambler.

Gambling is not a bad thing but can be considered as one of the main sources of entertainment and passing time. There are many who live a lonely life but gambling is the only good source of entertainment for them. But there are some societies where gambling is banned on religious grounds. There are many religious and professional gamblers who do not identify themselves as gamblers in public. A teacher always hides himself professionally and if people find out that he is a gambler, he will feel humiliated professionally so he always hides. There are many family members who criticize a gambler, so the gambler hides himself from family members so that other family members do not criticize him.

Gambling is not a bad thing but here though I think most people come here to make money not to pass time and not to have fun. But there are few people who gamble for entertainment and pass the time but most of the people gamble only to make money. There are a number of people who get addicted to gambling when they live alone but from here it can definitely turn into an addiction. There are many gamblers who do not identify themselves to the public but remain hidden because people never like gamblers in the society. In a word there are many people in the society and there are family members who if they come to know about the gambler will definitely look down on it which is why most of the time people gamble secretly. Moreover, gambling secretly is necessary because if a person does not gamble secretly, if a boy sees them, he can definitely be attracted to gambling, so it is best to gamble secretly.

That is not the best way to gamble, but some gamblers just chose to gamble in that way for some reason which is best known to them, and there are some people that like it too because it hard for others gamblers to ask them money to borrow.

There are some people that hide to gamble, for people not to know that they are addicted to gambling because if people find out they are addicted to gambling they will not be receiving respect from such people in their society.

Anyhow you gamble to win, you can continue using the strategy, if hiding to gamble is what is favouring you, you can continue using it to gamble but ensure your winning is more higher than your losing.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

Sometimes society has a certain range of demands that makes us change our way of seeing things, therefore it is something that according to our criteria we see if we want to follow them or not, regarding weight I have always said something, I am happy like this Society cares or not, well if I play in casinos and society is offended, it is not my problem because I do not harm them, when it comes to setting an example or something like that there is nothing wrong with it, I still say that I play , but it is very different to play in a crazy way than to play responsibly, that is the difference, also the fact that I am not hurting anyone, that includes that I am not breaking any law or anything for the simple fact of doing it. Society must know that this is the case.

I don't understand what you are saying here. Hiding while gambling is not a strategy to make wins in gambling. It is the bet and games you play that determines your wins or loses. If you choose to hide whenever you are gambling i feel you will not be relaxed and comfortable to gamble because you will be watching if someone is seeing you do so. In my opinion the most favorable and conducive way to gamble is to use your smart phone or any gadget. Then the next thing is to pay attention to our bets without caring if someone is noticing us. As far as i know it is not a crime to gamble and i choose to gambler whenever i want as long as i am not inconveniencing anyone.

This is indeed true on which even if its really just that not right or something that wont really be that much of a concern but due to those kind of views and perceptions or impressions towards you at the moment that society that totally despise to those people who are really indeed doing gambling then you would really be that making yourself be hiding on the shadows on which it is really just that something that would really be normal that you would really be having that kind of reaction at the moment that you would really be that doing gambling. Since, you dont really like on getting judged then you would really be just that basically making yourself hide in the shadows on which this would really be typically the first thing that you would really be gonna doing which is on to hide.

Addicted gamblers can do anything to make money just to gamble, they can go to the level of disturbing the community peace just because they want to make money to gamble, so most people are already thinking the only people who gamble are irresponsible people, but they don’t know that only addicted gamblers do crazy things.

Then those people are wrong, just because a few people become addicted this does not mean that gambling is a bad thing, gambling brings a lot of benefits as it is a fast growing industry, generates a lot of taxes, direct and indirect jobs and it brings a great deal of excitement to our lives, so if gambling was made illegal over such considerations, we may need to make many other things illegal just because they cause a small harm to our society, thins like the internet, cars, medicines and many other inventions and services, something that as you may guess does not make sense at all.

[adpinbr]

Some people is a mad gambler they can gamble everything they have suffered for for long time just because of the end of making more money on the concert again with a lot of people different kind of even when they keep winning them they still want to play sometimes it is usually how they play, but I wouldn’t not advise you to stake money In betting you can stake money but you just end up losing a a lot, gambling is something that you need to be careful with and handle it properly, and if they don’t hide to do it, a lot of people may like staking money and they really don’t want to be exposed

There are many things to consider when a person is hiding his gambling problem.

One. Underage.
Two. It's against their traditional belief.
Three. The wife/partner is against gambling.
Four. Strict parents even if you are over 21, because you are still living under their roof.

A family tradition often forces a gambler to hide himself from gambling because a family tradition is not desirable only for the gambler's image. There are many gamblers who hide themselves from gambling only out of religious feelings and family traditions. Gambling is prohibited by religion and many people refrain from gambling or keep it secret due to personal occupation and career. Many gamblers hide themselves from gambling because of their spouses or young children in the family.

For us, we would agree that gambling is not a bad thing. But to non gamblers or those that have experienced bad thing about it will say that it is. And if you are saying about an entertainment, that is true. We gamble mostly for passing time and enjoyment.

There should be many reasons why many gamblers would choose to hide their gambling activities especially when the person is a strong figure or have a reputation that wouldn't be seen as misleading to the young ones in the society. We just have to be wise and take every of our actions into consideration so that we don't do things that would come back and hurt us in the future. Depending on the kind of person that we are in our community, it wouldn't be appropriately for us to expose our gambling activities to the public because their are some societies that frown at gambling at all means. It is important we do what is right by hiding or showing the public that we are gamblers.

Right..My wife and my daughter are completely against my gambling addiction especially if my wife finds out about my gambling involvement for any reason she gets angry with me. Some time ago I bet on the ODI World Cup final match between Australia and India and I lost $130 against Australia and my wife even broke my mobile device when she got to know about this news so now I have completely stopped myself from gambling. Most of the people keep themselves completely hidden from gambling for the reasons mentioned above and do not reveal them in public because revealing them would not protect their privacy completely. There are many people who can have the effect of all these gambling in their work life and they can cause great damage to their career that is why he hides himself from gambling and even if he is addicted he does not participate in front of everyone but he participates by hiding himself.

In my opinion, gambling should be hidden from the people closest to you, especially the environment which cannot accept gambling activities well. but with those who hide it, maybe they will hide all their problems, sometimes it's necessary to talk about it, perhaps with their own friends or anyone who can accept it well and provide guidance when they know that gambling is an activity that is often done. because gambling can make someone forget self-control and here the importance of other people's advice is important. It's still good if you can realize yourself.

It depends on the situation and we can't totally hide it from our closest people.
If the situation is the same as OP, it is no problem to hide it from the parents because OP already told his sister who understands his gambling habit. But if we believe that our parents will accept it as long as we tell them honestly, I think it is no problem to tell our parents. I even don't recommend to tell the gambling habit with friends. Honestly, sometimes it is difficult to trust with friends, specifically those friends we don't really know their characteristics. But for the parents or our brother/sisters, we must know them well. Whatever the situation, only the closest people (parents, brothers, sisters) who will hep us when we have a problem in gambling.

actually telling our parents about the gambling we are doing has negative and positive aspects, the negative is that our parents might scold us for doing activities that are harmful to ourselves, the positive is that they can give us advice to stop doing it or at least remind us not to do anything stupid. which endangers oneself such as risking all the money one has. The point is that not telling your parents is not a problem as long as we can remember the limits when gambling.

If you can ensure that you gamble in the right way and you never use excessive money, they may accept it. We also need to convince them that we never use the money given from our parents to play gambling games. We only use our own money for gambling and it is just small amount of money. I think the parents will accept it if the parents are open-minded. But if your parents aren't open-minded, hiding your gambling is no problem but we must understand that they can't help us if any problem happens. So we must make sure that we play gambling in a proper way and minimize any possible problem.

Anyway, make sure you gamble at the right age. I recommend to not gamble if you are under 18 age. Of course your parents won't accept it if you gamble under that age.

Different people have different perspectives regarding to this industry,  and same with your argument for us who see  no harm with this activity its all good and there's no need to be ashamed if you are actively participating but for those who don't understand and don't have any idea about the entertainment or enjoyment then the view points will be in the negative side,  it's more on how you see the people that surrounded you and how you will deal from each types of opinions that they've got in terms of someone's participation to gambling.

There should be many reasons why many gamblers would choose to hide their gambling activities especially when the person is a strong figure or have a reputation that wouldn't be seen as misleading to the young ones in the society. We just have to be wise and take every of our actions into consideration so that we don't do things that would come back and hurt us in the future. Depending on the kind of person that we are in our community, it wouldn't be appropriately for us to expose our gambling activities to the public because their are some societies that frown at gambling at all means. It is important we do what is right by hiding or showing the public that we are gamblers.

That's right, we should be able to consider every action we take. especially with gambling. Make sure that when you gamble, we have to be prepared for the risks that will occur, namely losing or losing the money you bet, with those who experience a lot of losses when gambling, maybe because they can't accept this reality, where they can't accept it when the money they bet on is lost and makes them carry out big risky actions which make people have a bad opinion of gambling because they have become addicted to gambling by spending all the money they have on gambling.
Considering that gambling is not well accepted in some circles of society, of course this must be taken into consideration when we are going to gamble. I agree with what you say, if the environment around us has a negative view of gambling, perhaps it would be better for us not to expose the gambling activities that we do, apart from that, it would also be better to just hide it.

It's true that family members are the ones who can be the most dire when it comes to other family members. Also, when we have problems, of course the family is the one who will help us when we're in trouble. By telling the family about the problem, maybe it can help as long as they can accept it, but it's impossible if the family themselves are reluctant to help. with the OP having told his younger sibling, perhaps his younger sibling can understand and relate to the activities he is doing, and he will be careful not to open conversations with his parents because it could cause disputes, but it is true that one day the addict may tell the truth. themselves to people they consider important.

In my opinion, that can be considered, if they can gamble well and not excessively, maybe their family members can accept it as long as they don't take actions that really endanger themselves and harm themselves and even harm other people. Apart from that, it is of course not recommended that gambling be done excessively, those who hide their gambling activities must have their own reasons for the gambling they hide.

Yes that's right. Gambling secretly is not a strategy to win, this is only done by many gamblers so that the public does not know about their gambling activities. Because there are still many gambling activities that are prohibited in a country and there are even countries that charge fees to people who are caught gambling, I can talk like this because in my country gambling is still illegal. So you can't gamble in public places, you have to hide.

Gambling activity is not a crime, but gambling brings people closer to things that smell like crime. There are many examples that because of gambling addiction, people can steal, rob, extort and even kill people. So even though gambling is legalized in that country, people still feel comfortable gambling in secret because some people consider gambling to be a bad activity.

Lol the truth is it's a little confusing isn't it? Well I like to hide and not that, because to be honest those kinds of things make me a bit lazy, I'm too daring to hide, the one who tells me a lot of things that I'm not ashamed of is my wife, she tells me not to be like that , that some things don't embarrass me, but the thing is that I'm a person that when they ask me if I do it I tell them yes, if they tell me that I do things like play soccer and have fun with certain things I tell them yes, where I live Depending on your age there are things that don't seem right to them, if you're 39 or 40 years old and it seems wrong to them that you go to the field and play soccer, that you practice sports like boxing and that you always make friends of any age as long as they like sports, the same thing happens with the casino, so what can you do as a person and a player ? Not give importance to what others think.

[ethereumhunter]

This is just the choice of each person, it seems to me that this is normal. None of my friends know that I am interested in cryptocurrency, or that sometimes I trade, perhaps knowing this would also raise unnecessary questions, and this also concerns security, so it’s not surprising that people don’t want to talk about what they do.

In addition, gambling is not the most popular type of activity, which contains high risks, and this can cause condemnation among people, and no one likes this and it is clear that they want to avoid this. And if you want to discuss this with someone, there are forums for this.

People have their own choices to playing gambling or use the other things to fills his spare time. He doesn't have to tells other people that he playing gambling instead of just still hides his gambling activity from other people. That will be safe from other people because he doesn't have to listen anything from those who talks bad about gambling in his environments so he can playing gambling with calm. Playing gambling secretly can helps him to secures his money from other people or those who wants to borrow his money. He can uses his money and if he wins, he can celebrate it with his relatives or family.

But he must be careful to playing gambling secretly because he will not knows when he will becomes addicted to gambling. He only knows that he can playing gambling and that's why he must takes cares of himself when playing gambling.

[Tmoonz]

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 ?.

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.

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

There some gambling practice that are not legalized in some part of the country, but I believe gambling like sport betting is legalized in  every part of the world. But however, on e of the reason why most people tend to hide to gamble is because those addicted gamblers has really passed a negative information about gambling to the general public such that most persons might notwant to regarded as an addicted gambler and may decide to hide to gamble, as for me I don't give a fuck about what people may say am a proud gambler and I know my limit so there is no point for me to hide to gamble.
