Hiding it is certainly better if the environment and the people around you look unsupportive.
After all, the tone certainly doesn't require the acknowledgment that you're a gambling player

That's much better. Gambling still has a taboo with so many culture and families and that's why it's best to hide it.
I think many still hides their gambling activities but even with that, we don't care what they tell to us.

I agree that hiding our gambling activity from other people will be better to avoids the bad says from them. But they must have strong control to prevent the losses. But if they don't care with what other people say, they can show their gambling activities to many people and will not thinks much about anything they say because that is not their business. They just need to focus and control their gambling activities to avoids the losses. Other people can say many things to him including bad words but they don't know how he control himself when playing gambling so that will not be important to thinks about the bad words.

We're free to show the true us to the people that will understand us. But if there's no way that these people that are close to us will understand us, much better to keep it only to us. That's why many are still hiding their gambling activities for being afraid of being judged by those people that they're trusting with their secrets and words.

It doesn't really matter what kind of habits we have, be it good or bad, the truth remains that people must talk.
I had a friend go through my phone some time back and although I rarely gamble, I have various gambling apps that I occasionally indulge mostly for the casino games, he saw my apps and made a remark of which got me upset because this friend in question drinks and smokes a lot that everyone knows it is a much worse habit that consumes much funds as compared to gambling that one can win at any time and recover whatever money was spent.

Quote from: Jody.Drummer on October 29, 2024, 12:20:40 AM

the assumption that gambling is a bad thing to do in my opinion this view occurs because gambling may be prohibited in their country or by their religion, besides that they may have seen many cases that have occurred about the destruction of someone's life because they are addicted to gambling, but if you look further, the destruction of someone who gambles is because of their own actions which are indeed unreasonable.

Uhm, it is not actually an assumption because we've already seen a lot of proofs about people who got their lives ruined because of excessive gambling behaviour.
However, to the people who legitimately know the meaning of responsible gambling, things are a bit different. Gambling is not really bad, as long as it's remain under your control.
About the religious side, I hold nothing against them, but most of these people are just hypocrites and self righteous.

Right, it means we are talking based on a fact that indirectly becomes the only reason why we always say and suggest to anyone to treat gambling properly and according to our abilities, especially in terms of putting some money.
On the other hand, I agree with what you said that actually gambling is not bad, but what is bad is the behavior of gamblers who are wrong in treating gambling activities so that it has a bad impact on their lives.
Therefore, because of this, I often tell anyone, especially my friends who want to get involved in gambling, to first get to know gambling by finding out about what and how gambling really is, I understand that success in achieving victory is very enjoyable but look at other parts such as risk, because logically there will never be significant results with just a little effort, and if that does exist, then surely many people will stop working and prefer to gamble.

Some people hide their gambling activities because they have their own reasons, whether because gambling is prohibited in their country or they themselves choose to hide it from others for their own reasons. If you think about it, hiding it is better than making it public, but on the other hand, I am sure we have friends who like to gamble and sometimes there is a desire to exchange stories about gambling that is real, I feel that.

Another thing is if we do gamble using our own money, then in my opinion, just ignore other people's words who have a bad view of what we do, as long as what we do does not make them lose, it is not a problem in my opinion. Unless we gamble using money that is not supposed to be like using savings or borrowed money, then considering it is something that must be done.

I am a sociable person and I love to communicate with different people (of different ages, nationalities, genders).

I often tell other people about my gambling addiction in the past. I used to actively play roulette. As a result, I developed a gambling addiction, my world became gray and lost its colors, it was terrible.

However, I got rid of gambling addiction. Now I willingly share with people around me the story of how I overcame gambling addiction. This can happen to anyone, so my experience (and my story) can be very important for someone.

Currently, I also gamble, but I do it consciously. I have accumulated some experience in gambling, experience in choosing the best online casino and I share this experience with people around me.

Personally, I would not want my gambling to be a subject of discussion for anyone. You know that there is an ambiguous attitude towards gambling in society. This is due to the fact that the industry has such unpleasant phenomena as gambling addiction and the loss of money that is important for survival. Many people do not even know the expression "responsible gambling". For some, the entire gambling industry is dirty and immoral. Partly, the participants in this industry themselves have unwittingly formed such an attitude towards themselves.

Unlike those who gamble to fill their free time or for fun, of course people like this can control their behavior by being careful not to gamble excessively, and this is what is right and must be done because those who experience the destruction of their lives are people who think that they can get victory in gambling or even think they can achieve wealth by gambling, this is what makes many people addicted.

Hahaha, it's better you just keep it a secret from anyone because more people think negatively about gambling, especially if you are an active gambling player.
You work in an office and of course the quality of your work will be judged by gambling if everyone in your office knows, including your boss.
You will be blamed when your target is not reached and less than optimal because the exact cause is gambling.

I myself did not even tell anyone, even close friends or even my wife.

Actually its none others business on how you would really be that handling your own life because its your money after all in the first place. They dont really have the rights
on what you should gonna do with your money or whatever the activity or things that you are dealing into.There are those individuals who are really that highly reactive into someones
words but there are ones who are really that just dont care on what others been saying as long they would really be that happy on what they are doing on which i could say that this is a must thing
rather than on making yourself that being too reactive on what others been saying about you. Just like on what i have said that its none others business on whatever you gonna do as long
you arent that affecting other people and doesnt really affect any other priorities that you do have in life.

I almost agreed with everything you said but then something also made sense when we think about what others would say. Our kids. It will reflect on them when others do see and witness what a father is doing, gambling, or other bad habits. It's not just about us as a single person anymore because we made a family and that means as much as possible you keep it all clean so that they won't be haunted by your past in the future.

But I will have to agree with everything you said back when I was single. I don't really care much about what other people will say about me because I am old enough to make a decision by myself. It makes a difference when one becomes married and a father.

Yup, people who say they don't care what others think probably don't have kids. It's not about them judging me, it's about me acting as example, and as their father, probably as someone they want to be someday. I have also have quitted smoking and drinking too much, just like i won't gamble in front of them.

Only way to gamble in front of smaller kids would be if i lost, and then i would explain the probability to them so that they understood. No one really explained to me how low the probability to win constantly is, and how addiction starts, so it took me ages to understand and recognize what gambling addiction is, and why i am vulnerable to it. I don't want others find out how that happens hard way.

As far as I have experienced, when I check my bets and there are friends who know my gambling activities ,in fact they will only be curious about the results of the bets. Or maybe, another case they just compare with the results of the bets they have. But, if there are people who don't bet and then see me checking my bets, then they just keep quiet and don't make any comments. So yes, I personally have never been in the same position as you but yes, if I were in your position like that, then maybe I would also just smile or maybe just ignore it. Because anyway, as long as I bet also that I never harm others or never involve others. Therefore, I prefer betting that is done from my own efforts, and not buying other people's predictions or strategies to bet.

Never had much thought about it. Gambling to some degree is accepted as a normal male behaviour here but my friends and family have not much idea to what extent I gamble. I am willing to keep it a secret as it might hurt them or it might make me answer questions and bring in uncomfortable circumstances. It's not that they'll make me leave gambling or even I'd obey what they say as I'm a financially independent person myself but I don't want to be known as a gambler. So, I do care even though my gambling wins or loss don't have any significant effect on others. I'd still like to keep this side of my life secret.

I have exactly the same situation, only close friends and colleagues know. I don’t talk about it with my relatives and have never discussed it with them because they are quite conservative and rarely accept anything new, especially something that they don’t want to understand and delve into the essence of gambling and its principles. They are convinced that it is bad in any form and I respect their position and do not impose mine and do not plan to convince them otherwise.

Maybe some people are supporting me now but when a bad moment comes everyone will scold me.

I will respect my decision though. I don't like hearing anything negative about what I like or where I like. I will never share gambling with my family or relatives because I know if any of them know they will feel the need to give me some kind of knowledge that I don't like. I try to keep myself under control and gambling so that I don't get into any major problems in the long run.

There is no need for me to worry over other people talking about my gambling habit because if I win they will still talk good about me so there talking have nothing to do with me. It is better for me to focus on my games and leave them. In life, people must talk about you whether good or bad. In some families they don't like gambling and those families are always from the core Christian Families. But some families have no problem with their sons gambling. If the son does not bring problem to the family then they don't have problem.
When I was growing up, gambling in my community was an unethical behavior but recently gambling is becoming a normal thing everywhere in the country.

There are some gamblers who are indifferent to family and they borrow money and sell their land to gamble only but they are harmful to any family. And when people talk about them, we must understand that people are saying the right thing. I only know that I gamble because I don't want people to say anything negative about me. Why should I be bad in the eyes of others where the money is mine and the risk of money is my own?.

Well, one needs to be able to tell the difference between stigma and people who just worries about us and want to keep us safe from addiction. If you are a gambler and you have a very small wager compared to your salary, those who warn about gambling are being led solely by stigma against you and what you choose to do with your money. On the other hand, when there is damage being done by yourself, against yourself it is not a matter of stigma anymore, but rather people who cares about what they see and do not want you to keep going down such a path.

In countries where Islam is the state religion or where people who are muslin are a majority, it is fairly difficult to know when someone is stigma-driven or they are opening their heart to one.

So, I do care even though my gambling wins or loss don't have any significant effect on others. I'd still like to keep this side of my life secret.

Even though we choose not to care about what people are saying about our gambling activities, it is very important for you to work on yourself and make sure that you don't do it too frequently so that people will not see you as an irresponsible gambler. Gambling is meant to be minimized not everyday activities. We can make money from gambling if we keep working on any strategy we are using to make sure that we don't do it too frequently. We need to care about the way we are gambling so people around and even our family members will not noticed that we are gamblers. It is better we protect our gambling activities than to keep betting without caring about our personalities in the society.

True protect your gambling activities. What someone says will not bother me - if I'm not addicted to gambling. But generally I'll say it depend on two factors: if one is a gambling addict; and if the person talking cares about you. What I mean is that if you are actually getting addicted by gambling, like in debt, spending more than you budgeted, neglecting home, spending your whole day at casinos then what people say should bother you, even if it's a stranger who walks up to you.

However the person needs to know you to a point because you just can't see someone gambling with their phone and assume that they are a gambling addict or they do it every day.

And then, if this is somebody I know cares about me and I care about too, then I will listen to what they have to say. It will not bother me when I know I'm not gambling responsibly. All I will do is I will check myself, be more uptight with myself, strict with my betting funds, the hours I use to play, days I play, and stuff like that. Just regulate myself for responsible gambling.

Quote from: TribalBob on October 27, 2024, 11:05:00 AM

There is some truth in what you said, where we ourselves are responsible for our families, not other people, but at least if there is constructive criticism, it is not wrong for us to listen to it, for matters of implementing it, that is a secondary matter in my opinion, at least we respect the person we are talking to as long as he does not corner us at the lowest point in a situation

But if we have been able to apply good approach and are able to gamble wisely but there are still other people who talk or think badly about the gambling activities we do, can it be called constructive criticism, we have been able to get past all that and criticism is not needed here.
In reality, everything that will be talked about is about bad things and we cannot just consider all of that as something easy to accept, it is better not to care and not to listen.

I think getting criticism from others is a fairly normal situation even though you have basically gambled with the right approach or the best approach as we often recommend to gamblers, because in general gambling is an activity that has a bad stigma in the eyes of society, most of those who have that point of view will not easily believe that you are a responsible gambler who is able to treat gambling in the right way.

So the conclusion is that it is a fairly reasonable criticism considering how society views gambling, and I think as long as we gamble with our own money without harming others then it should not be a problem, so it is better as you said that which is just let it be or do not care too much about such criticism, but if the criticism does contain good and good advice for your own interests then consider it.
