I don't give advice to anyone not just gambling but anything cause no one really gives attention to what we say until they learn the lesson by themselves, so stop wasting time by doing things which is not going to make any change. I do have a bad side so does everyone, once in a while it may go out of control but as long as it doesn't affect me or anyone that I care then it is completely fine.

The question is this... If you have to hide your gambling habits from the friend you are trying to help, are you actually helping that person?
What does it say about you, when you have to lie to a friend? You should just open up to that person and be honest about your problem and then seek some proffesional help for both of you. This way, you can support eachother and find ways to control the urge to gamble.
The gambling problem start out with small increases in your gambling budget and it gathers momentum like a snow ball running down a hill.. so you should give attention to it, whilst it is still under your control.

I beg a pardon if a thread like this has existed here.
I have been around my gambling friends and I have always acted to be 100% sticking to my gambling budgets such as how many times, a specific time and how much to spend on my gambling.
Once awhile I actually breaks that budget but though it does not affect my daily life and my bankrolls.
I literally claim this righteousness on my friends who are running out of their emotional control from gambling and psychologically I expects them to have me as an example whom they should emulate from in other to be recalled and take back control of their emotions while gambling.
Does any of you guys have any negative side of gambling habit in you which literally you advices anyone not to exhibit it?
Or can you afford to hide your real disreputable gambling life just to help an astray gambling friend or relative?
I find this to be common not only when gambling but almost in any other aspect of our lives, after all I have known nutritionists that keep advising people to eat healthy food and watch their weight, and yet they had some of the most unhealthy habits when it came to their own diet.I have been around my gambling friends and I have always acted to be 100% sticking to my gambling budgets such as how many times, a specific time and how much to spend on my gambling.

So as long as what you are experimenting is not that bad, I do not see a problem with it, as we are bound to make mistakes once in a while, and losing a little bit of extra money while gambling is not really that big of a deal.

Dude, every person lies at some point in their life, I'm sure that you did too so I don't get the moral crisis that you're getting at though? If the only sin is lying and being a traitor or hypocrite to the principle that you pretend to stick too and there's really no person out there that would be pained or hurt emotionally or physically of your white lies then why be afraid of that, you're helping them understand that you can be an example for them to follow and it's not like you've got a bad intention from lying to them, think of it this way, if the lie continues to be more benefit to them then go for it but the moment that it starts to hurt someone, you're probably going to need to start doing something about it.
If you're in a plane hijacked by a terrorist group and the only way to get out of that situation is to lie, would you do it? Pretty sure that you would do it, my point is that you can lie to save yourself and there's times and places that are good for it, not tolerating the lying part though, again, I don't tolerate lies with malicious intent, that's different.

When I was so addicted, I still tell my friends to be very careful and not waste money. But they know that I was losing money to gambling, especially the friends that are very close to me. Or can you afford to hide your real disreputable gambling life just to help an astray gambling friend or relative?
I did not hide it but it would be good if you hide it and tell your friend to gamble responsibly. You also need to stop even as it is not affecting you financially. Set a gambling budget and make sure you do not spend more than it.It feels that you do not want them to succeeded because you would be expected to had also quit from it if you knew about it would be backfired.
So to navigate on this so that your friends can put your words in considerations to quit from their addictions, you have to live them with examples by keeping yours negative side hidden.
And you too personally with your endivoirs to understand your are also not on the good track should effortlessly consist on making changes because it is foolish on oneself to disregard yourself and embraces to encourage others from their bad deeds.

There's no need to hide it if both of you are on the same level. But I would go to the extent of talking to the person who has the same problem as me and use our experiences to change our bad habits.
I will be using my smoking habit as an example. I used to smoke half a pack of cigarettes per day but now I am clean for 5 years or maybe more. I forgot when I stopped. Now, I still have friends who smoke while some switched to vaping. What I use are the good effects of being clean with it. Better taste, I can taste the food much better now. Better breathing, because the lungs are clean I could breathe well. Better smell of anything unlike when I was smoking where everything smells like nothing.
I think we should be using our experiences in gambling, the bad ones especially to share it and maybe someone will learn from those mistakes and change their habit when it comes to gambling. I like people who are brave enough to do that because it ain't easy to tell but it might help another so they they will still pull the courage to do so.

Well, I don't have a negative side of gambling in me, however, I do tell people who gamble to practice responsible gambling because that is the only way to avoid excessive losses. I often see people spending a lot of money on gambling, and what's worse is that they sometimes manage to win some money initially, but because they don't have patience and can't control the urge, they gamble again only to increase their winnings and eventually lose what they have won along with their bankroll.
So, what I tell them all the time is that they should stop when the time is right which means that if they have already won something on top of their deposited amount, they should stop and withdraw the money, and even if they see they are losing constantly, they should stop as well.

It's not bad to lie if it's for the good of others and that kind of lying doesn't have a huge effect on you in general. Consider it more like a promoting a good habit or good example for them, I do have some gambling habits and of course I do share them to my friends and I just gave them an insight why it's not a good idea. For example spending my whole week budget in one day of gambling instead of setting a lose threshold per day this is just some simple bad habits that I do before and shared to my friends to avoid it.

Have I ever found myself in this position before? Maybe only if I am trying to advice someone about gambling, especially the younglings, my advice to them is to avoid gambling, they are still young, and young people tend to be very hooked to something they want to do or plan to do.
Apart from this I have nothing to hide, although I don't have friends who are into gambling, they could be gambling behind my back but none of us have opened up about engaging in gambling activities.
I gamble in my dark room for a reason, I don't want anyone to know about it, this is my little dark secret, I only know how to control myself when it comes to gambling doubt that others can do the same thing, I will always encourage against gambling, unless the person is much older.

Everyone has a negative side to their gambling habits but they don't show it to others. It's a normal thing to do because we don't want other people to know the negative side. It's better for us to keep the negative side to ourselves and always try to reduce that negative side.
I don't need to hide my gambling life just to help a friend. Playing gambling requires individual responsibility so we must be able to do it correctly. If our friends cannot be responsible with their gambling, we can give them advice.
They don't need to make us a good example because it depends on them. They can start reducing their gambling activities if they feel they are starting to overdo it. We must be able to limit our gambling and that is what we must tell our friends and relatives.

I think in gambling there is always a negative side and sometimes it becomes a habit even though I always don't want to show the negative side habits but let me alone know it others don't need to know except fellow gamblers but it won't be loose in telling it.
I hide gambling because there is a strong reason that close relatives should not know about me, I am afraid that they will become addicted as a result of seeing me play gambling so it is better to hide and they do not need to know about gambling.
Gambling is almost known among many people even if he does not play but knows how to play it can be considered bad behavior so I never show it.

Sometimes if someone is experiencing bad luck in their gambling, they don't want to see other people also feel what they feel, therefore you advise your friends to control themselves and not get emotional easily if they lose money in their gambling. This is something that usually happens to among gamblers we also can't win sure and gambling is full of risks, the most important thing is that you can still realize that you sometimes go beyond your limits but it still doesn't affect your life or your daily finances and you can still advise other people even though you yourself also experience what is happening experience your friends.
Gamblers can always advise other people while they have difficulty advising and managing themselves, your mind and heart seem to disagree, maybe your left brain thinks you want to be careful about gambling and limit your gambling, but your right brain seems to think that we can find a little more luck by continuing try it so this is what makes a person uncontrollable and leads to addiction, we must be able to advise ourselves first before advising others so that other people also believe that we are truly safe from gambling and they can follow our example.

Definitely if your habit or fake lifestyle can really influence any people or help a friend or relative, then it’s definitely not an issue I guess. I know it’s very hard to control while you gamble. Still if you pretend that you are following the rule, not gambling over the budget for your friends or relative, then it’s completely fine according to me. They learn from you, hence it’s good to pretend about this. We need to control as much as possible to not go pass beyond the boundaries which might harm money or lifestyle due to gambling.

It's more like passing the lesson i've learned from my gambling mistakes. I'm always down to tell a friend the stuff I know about gambling and pass on what I know so they don't go through the same mistakes.Or can you afford to hide your real disreputable gambling life just to help an astray gambling friend or relative?
I don't see the need to hide my gambling activities only to help someone, it's still mainly up to them to fix their gambling issues. I'd rather tell them about my gambling activities and make them understand that it's common for gamblers to fall for these countless mistakes.

Dunno really. In the past maybe. But nowadays? I'm sticking to using 5% of my salary on gambling and only that, never exceeding it. I even use any leftovers from my past session so sometimes that 5% can even go lower. As for friends, well, most of my gambling friends went the same way as me, bad habits turned good after a couple of years. Some outliers may be for some of my new friends but I've always tried to advocate how bad it can go for them so they should start turning back and changing now. It's pretty hard to prove though since the sense of money now is rather different compared to back then when I still had my bad habits which was around the end of high school to college. $20 looked pretty big back then.

If you're a person that needs to hide your gambling activities because of the reputation that your family has, you will hide it no matter what not to conceal what you are up.
But it is not to take any longer when you're going to be vulgar about it because you can't take it anymore that your lifestyle includes gambling.
In the end, you have to be true to yourself so that you're able to move freely whether you gamble or does any other things that you want and you have nothing to worry about being known to be a gambler.

Totally depends on what kind of person are you whether you are an honest one or something that you would really be in state of denial and acting out more cool in front of other people.I have been around my gambling friends and I have always acted to be 100% sticking to my gambling budgets such as how many times, a specific time and how much to spend on my gambling.

Yes, its understandable that there are individuals who would really be that trying out to hide their flaws and acting cool but deep inside they are still in loses but the good thing on here
is that you've been giving out some good advises that people should really be avoiding this and that so that they would really be able to end up on having those loses and since
you are someone who do have that kind of situation then you are really that relatable on such condition or situation on which it would be wise that you should be giving out some advises
on other people on which at least they will really be able to avoid those potential conditions too because of the advises that you have said.

I think the only way to help your friend or relative when it comes to gambling is to be more genuine on your gambling habit, and show him what gambling is certainly all about. No need to hide something that you don’t want other gamblers to see or experience, because every gambler will certainly experience the same struggles of a gambler, it’s up to the gambler itself how he will respond to certain situations.
Not hitting the betting plan is actually normal, but what is not normal is that if you pretend to someone that everything will work in gambling, but in reality we all know that gambling can be so annoying and destructive, most especially if you easily fall into gambling addiction.

I believe you will also help your friends/relatives by being true to yourself. The reality is no gambler can really be strict to himself and follow all the rules you want to implement to yourself. I think if you tell that to your friends, I believe they are not 100% sure if you are telling the truth because as a gambler, you know the emotions involved. Even occasional gamblers know that at some point you are going beyond your limits, but so long you go back to your senses and not follow your emotions, it means, you still have self-awareness of what's going on. So I guess, they will just say yes in front of you, but deep inside they have doubts about your genuineness.

My own is that, sometimes I once a week or twice in a month, I bet more than more than I can afford to lose. On some days it favors me while on some weeks , the house wins.
