I never want to cover up gambling activities because I don't have much to gain from gambling. I take gambling mainly as entertainment, I never want to become addicted to this game. Moreover, when there is a function in our house and all our family members and even relatives are together, some of us indulge in gambling for a short period of time.
Although I am not experienced in gambling, I have basic knowledge that excessive gambling should not be allowed. Because if you gamble more, people will become more addicted to it and even if they are addicted to gambling, they will want to gamble again and again, as a result of which they will have the highest risk of losing gambling. According to me, people who gamble should take it as entertainment and not as an addiction, because if you take gambling as an addiction, it can put you in a lot of harm.
If you use gambling as an activity to fill in family or close relatives' events then I think it is still safe and does not need to be covered up because the goal is for entertainment and fun and chances are you do not use bets but just to have fun and strengthen relationships between family members, right? And this is not a problem for you because the goal is good.
Sure, gamble can be tricky sometimes, even with your knowledge you can still fall to the tricks of gamble, most times and that can be caused by greed. Most person gamble until they have received more than x800% but dey still want to try rounding it up to 1000% bit unfortunately they might end up losing everything. This happens frequently on casino games, I have spectated some users make this same mistake over and over again, and if you ask such persons they'll be shy to expose how selfish they were. But when it come to wining they'll share the new across and even conduct some activities that proves that they've hit the jackpot.
Indeed, gamblers have different attitudes in responding to their gambling activities, meaning that there are gamblers who are generous in sharing their knowledge to teach other gamblers, but there are also gamblers who are stingy about their experience in playing gambling properly and correctly. And there are also gamblers who are open about the bad experiences they have experienced and there are also gamblers who try to cover up their bad experiences by preventing criticism from others. Well, here we can conclude that good or bad gambling experiences must be accepted even though it hurts us because that is the real risk in the casino.
