Why do some people hide to gamble

[Quidat]

I support the idea of keeping gambling private and a secret and if you see anyone hiding to gamble, then it is for the same reason. The risk of making your gambling public are many, ranging from the negative perception of people about gambling and gamblers to the security challenge, there is every reason to make gambling a secret. In some cases, a gambler is easily seen as irresponsible by people especially during arguments. We face this in workplaces and other social gatherings where some people are treated with disdain simply because they make their gambling public. Online casino have really come to solve one of the problem facing traditional casinos by making it possible for gamblers to do all their activities without anyone knowing.

When people know that you are gambling that is when they will start pointing fingers at you, it is better known to you, that when you win or lose you chest it, because if people should find out they will still think of you and not be responsible and if eventually, you win they will always want to share the money with you since anything is doing on my phone is non of anybody's business, I gamble with my phone and when I also win I won't tell anyone all I do is to buy whatever I want with my money or go out to take a bottle of beer. things they talk about people that gamble are just for you to keep mute and stare at them I don't care whatever they say. and if you gamble and people know and you understand how to gamble then you should not have a problem, if the person is super rich will they point fingers or say anything?

As it looks that they are some holy type of person who are perfect beings as if they do make out those kind of judgment into someone that those people who are playing gambling are the ones who are that considered to be bad just because they are focusing too much about the negative side of gambling addiction. Well, its not something that would be denied but on making out some conclusions just because on the things that people been doing it is really just that not that right or something which is really that too much. Each person does have their rights on what are the things that they do want to get involved with. It is really just that people do mess up their lives just because they've done something shit into their financial handling specially on dealing up with gambling on which we know that this kind of entertainment or leisure is something which is really that expensive and could be that devastative if you arent that  good on handling with your finances.

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.

True.
Actually not the first time I've watched a wife easily reveal the secrets of her gambler husband. Women, they are so intuitive, so sensitive to changes in behavior. Even if he tries to hide his trips to the casino, sooner or later the truth still comes out. After all, the money he's losing there is family money! I don't know how wives find out, but they always do. Perhaps this is a kind of defense mechanism to keep the family budget from going bankrupt. But anyway, it hits me every time.

A woman always notices the slightest changes in her partner, Whether for money or for anything in their lives. By living with a man, they realize everything they do , their routines , even their Economic capacity. That's why when some things are given to analyze, the woman always takes the lead in everything, and it is not Something that is always demonstrated or that the woman says it, there are many things that women know and do not say, because it is not worth the effort It's sad to say it, they only say it at the right time and there are always those times, that's why when a man is in a strange situation, women notice.

When they realize they have less or more money it is because the man Always buys the basics or the same things, when they buy less it is because something is happening.

There may be people who are very responsible in life and in their work, which is very difficult. There are players who, after the enormous stress received there, although they relax in gambling, this is nothing unusual. Moreover, they thus create balance and harmony within themselves. Only if they allow themselves to lose small amounts and enjoy the game. You can consider gambling as relaxation within reasonable limits, because if it weren’t for this, the player could start drinking a lot of alcohol instead or find some other activity that relieves stress. After all, we are all human and want to have a little good time, and not work like robots at our jobs, although some may play at work so that their wife does not notice it at home.

Gambling is banned in some countries, while in other ones it's approached like "negative influence" a bit like drinking alcohol. Many people don't drink in the open because you'll either get a fine, or you'll get "the look" depending on your location. Maybe they're hiding because they don't want to attract unwanted attention, since there's money on the line, so while they're distracted someone could approach them, take the money they have in that container that OP has mentioned and run. In most cases it's just safer to stay out of sight.

We are living in a world on which there are really people who would really be loving to see your lapses or the mistakes that you would be doing. On the time that they've seen that you are
struggling or having that such devastation into your life like losing your job,family or your house then they would really be laughing at you and this is in fact the reality.
This is why people would really be that hiding themselves on the time that they do gamble because they dont really just that like the hassle on where these people would be saying wrong about them.

Even myself cant really be able to bare up on whatever the things that other people might be saying against me specially if i have done something not wrong then it do really pisses me off
when i do hear out some comments on which it isnt right, specially if it do came from your relatives then you would really be liking on trying out to make some trouble arguments into them.
it do really pisses me off and this is why everything that happens into my life cant really be seen in day broad light.

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.

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 ?.

Many people still hold bad ideas about gambling and let's face it, there is a huge lack of self control in the world today which translates into a large amount of people who have picked up a gambling habit. Many people cannot gamble in moderation, they take it too far and keep going until their bank account is looking much less healthy than when they started. It also draws in and traps people who have the least amount of money to begin with. It's understandable that people have got a dim view of gambling, especially when you see them making huge profits - look at Bet365 for example, pulling in hundreds of millions in a single year for the owner, and all that money came out of the pockets of the average person.

I remember we had a small crisis at home when my mother found a horse racing coupon in my father's pocket. My father had played the horse race in secret, but he had left the coupon in his pocket.😅 In some societies gambling is seen as an unpleasant activity. Societies derive their sociocultural structure from their religion or traditions. This is why gamblers have to hide their gambling from everyone in some societies. In fact, this happens not only in religious and traditional societies, but also in modern and contemporary societies, because people who lose all their assets through gambling set a bad example for everyone else. Someone who has lost control cannot take responsibility for his family. Such a person is ostracized from society over time. Such a person chooses to hide while gambling in order not to be ostracized.

Most people do it because it's illegal to gamble in public. Where I'm from it's illegal to do a lot of things in public, everything has to be done in designated areas. You can't drink in front of a store or church, and you can't gamble in the middle of a street.

All public spaces are off limits for things like that, which is why people do all the stuff you can think of in hiding. For instance, we used to drink and gamble in basements of apartment buildings. Some people even organized undergroud fights in there. My friend used to make illegal alcohol in such place. I fully understand gamblers who hide what they do.

There's some that generalization on which the society ended up on having that bad views towards gambling because it can really mess up someone life on which its not really that something you can blame people
but just like i have said that we do really love on generalizing on which it isnt really that right on some point. It is really that something shameful for someone who doesnt really like on someone has to say
something into them and thats why on the time that they are dealing with something specially gambling then they would really be that hiding themselves on playing something.

We do have our own decisions and approach in life into something that we are really that tending to deal off with. Its not that bad to gamble but there are people who are really that
having not liking for other people has something to say into them. For me its not bad to gamble and i dont really care on what other people would really be saying to me.
As long i do enjoy myself on playing.

If people around them do not agree to them gambling then it could be a reason to hide why they are gambling as well. I am not saying that it's the only way or something, just saying that it would be a good reason to do that, we should probably consider that as the most important part. I personally agree that it is not going to be easy, but we should probably consider the situation to be sensitive in the end.

Not a lot of people see it the same way, and sometimes you just do not want to argue with anyone about your gambling, so that is why you hide it. I personally do not need to hide it from anyone, but if I had to, then I wouldn't really consider that as an issue neither, I would simply just hide it and move on with my life.

In fact, any illegal activity takes place in the dark. And since gambling is a forbidden thing, an illegal thing, it will be in the dark, it is natural. I don't know exactly what they're betting on in a dirty corner. Maybe it's a betting tool. Maybe they are playing with Ludoo game striker. Maybe they are playing with coins. Hate and Tell. Since you haven't seen anything, they can play with anything. And gambling in their dark forbidden house is really bad. In a few days they will be ostracized from society, ostracized from family, caught by police and fined in jail. In fact, the future of gambling can never be better. So you should convince them or talk to them so they can understand. They should be brought back to the right path. It is my moral duty to all of you.

That's true, even though gambling is forbidden, there are people who do it because gambling is fun and tempting, but we shouldn't have too much hope in gambling because it will only get us into trouble. In fact, in my opinion, many people who gamble secretly because they know that gambling is prohibited, therefore some people gamble secretly, but even so, I am sure that when they win at gambling, they will tell their friends about the winnings they have won. got it.
Even though gambling is against the law, such as with the police or other authorities,  I don't think they will be caught completely, because I don't think the authorities will be ambushed in this case.

It seems to me that society is too quick to condemn people who are addicted to gambling. Yes, there are problematic players, but they make up only a small part of all gamblers. But for some reason, everyone immediately labels them fools. After all, they are often just people who are looking for excitement and entertainment. I think we need to be more tolerant and understanding of such people, and not judge them without evidence.

For example, poker is also considered a gambling game, but at the same time I know people who earn money and they get good money, while quietly taking breaks from the game for several months.

That's right, here in our community they don't play in public places because it causes a lot of trouble and the policemen will take action and they will get arrested and fined depending on the severity of their actions. the fine is high and sometimes they get arrested and sleep for so many days in prison when they are caught by some brutal policemen. That's why they create their own space and hideouts especially those who use animals and let them fight just to bet on them. we have so many cases of that cock, spider, and including fish as well.

[nara1892]

Yes, and I think one of the reasons why a gambler still gets a bad rap from society about his or her involvement in gambling even if the country does not ban gambling activities in my opinion is because of the bad effects that are undeniable in gambling, or in other words, everyone has an equal chance of ending up experiencing many bad effects such as addiction if only they treat the activity in the wrong way or in a way that tends to be too excessive. We can't lie that gambling can always ruin a person's life in various aspects regardless of whether the country bans or legalizes the activity, which is probably the reason why society still views gamblers as people with bad personalities.

Perhaps this is also the reason why most people prefer to hide their involvement in gambling, but on the other hand yes you have also repeated my idea above that it still depends on one's comfort regarding whether they want to hide their gambling or even publicize it to the public eye, but I think there is absolutely nothing to be proud of from being involved in gambling, plus we are the only ones who will eventually feel whatever impact it has.

We do have our own self-explanation regarding to how we treat our gambling, I guess most of those who continue  to hide thier gambling involvement are still have that mindset that they might be criticize by other people that surrounds them especially if they are in the religious types of community, they are afraid of being tag doing something not religeous.

Well, it depends from how you treat and how acceptance it be from the community where you at, gambling though is no longer a secret for most people, as it's easy to be access  and the industry is being accepted by most countries around.

True, everyone has their own thoughts and points of view when it comes to addressing a problem, or what it means is that they have their own way of minimizing bad points of view or possible criticism from others regarding their involvement in gambling and one of them is by choosing to hide their involvement where their actions will be able to prevent them from bad points of view in the eyes of others.

It depends on the environment too, simply put if for example you are in an environment that does not question your involvement in gambling then maybe you will not really hide your involvement in gambling because you feel that you have a fairly active environment in gambling, On the other hand, yes, the gambling industry is now easier to access because you can find many casinos that are engaged in the online field but for the problem of whether the public's perspective on gambling is good or bad, it has nothing to do with the ease of accessing gambling, because no matter how easy you reach gambling, it is still the case that if for example you are in an environment that puts a negative perspective on this activity then yes, the solution is to hide your involvement so that you avoid some criticism or disturbance.

[348Judah]

I don't think hiding to gamble is to secure privacy, instead, it's a means of trying to avoid shame, when we are doing something, then we should be proud about it, we should avoid fear, neglect the way others may see it and focus on what's best and good for us, if we are truly not ashamed of ourselves being a gambler, we should then have no reason for hiding it that we are gambling, even the government is not against it to be a gambler in many countries, when then should be hide if we are not having something we are hiding.

[TheUltraElite]

I think that people who are gambling are going to gamble in public or private, it is just that the urge to gamble follows no rules or bounds. It is not uncommon for people to meet up in dark and shady places after the evening for a round of card games and often there is money involved. Usually these events happen away from the wives and the kids and in lower economic strata.

It is possible they will get beaten up by their household if they find it or they dont want to be a bad influence on their kids.

[bitzizzix]

In my opinion, apart from maintaining the good name of gamblers, gamblers are also always looked down upon by society. And besides that, keep it a secret from his family, wife and children, because gambling is an activity that is not good and will have a bad impact if they find out about it, especially if they don't like it.
And what makes the most sense is why some people hide when they are gambling, because gambling requires comfort and a calm atmosphere in order to concentrate on doing it, and this also applies to online gambling.

And it all depends on perception because everyone has differences, and what I mentioned is what I do and also feel.

Even the family members shouldn't know because ultimately when they find out, they are going to connect every dots and know the reason why you sometimes have money and sometimes just have zilch.

Gambling gives and takes the money of the gamblers and if they find out that you have been gambling for god knows how long, they might not be able to trust you with money. If they gave you a loan a month ago before they knew you gamble, this time they might not loan you a dime.

[AprilioMP]

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 ?.

It is true that they will not get pleasure from gambling in public so they choose not to do it.
Those who gamble in secret do not want to embarrass themselves which allows gambling activities in the environment to have a negative view.
Another possibility could still be a more positive answer as to why they did it in a place like that. The rest only they know.
