Topic: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. - page 11. (Read 7999 times)

Protecting privacy in gambling is also a means of reducing human suffering. Because I have seen that when a gambler's gambling activities were known by someone else, that gambler was humiliated by others in various ways and sometimes he had to face various problems in his movement. He utters those words while gambling which creates a negative trend in his gambling life. I never want others to know about my gambling. Because I believe that if I tell others there is no possibility of my gain but there is a certainty of loss. That's why I don't tell anyone about my gambling habit even my wife from sharing these things. But I have a gambler friend to whom I can share any of my concerns. I know he will not share my gambling matters with anyone else. As long as the gambling matters are kept under wraps you are safe. But when it is exposed you will be insecure.

Gambling isnt really that bad if you are really just that responsible towards it. If you cant really be able to make yourself control when it comes on dealing with it then you would really be messing up your life with it. It would all matters on how you would really be making yourself that responsible but most of the time on which people would really be that skeptical when it comes to
showing their gambling activity on which they would really be assuming out that people around would really be having that kind of bad views towards you once they've seen that you are
dealing up with gambling and this is something that you should really be having in mind. Play for fun and actually there's nothing wrong for you to end up on hiding your activities.

Gamble and don't be an addictive one because it will definitely ruined one's reputation in the system. We're not gods but humans in the real world, moreover we can be taking extra bold steps in making sure we start earning from the system with appropriate means, I'm talking about tremendous winnings. Why expose your gambling activities when you can be milking the system in mute phase. I'm just here to gather the extra change I can be able to lay my hands on and never doubt the act of losing heavily in the system.

However, although gambling addicts are usually terrible, there are many people today who are irresponsibly gambling only and are destroying their families and society. Because gambling usually leads people to ruin but there are many gamblers out there gambling for fun. A man I know who ruined his family by gambling and sold lots of land is now a carefree single. He roams the streets and is now a fugitive in debt due to his gambling losses, so gambling is generally good as well as bad but not addictive.

Well, keeping your gambling life a secret is an individual decision to make and that would be something that would be motivated by maybe the environment in which that person lives or his personality. and other things that one may not have in mind now.

Environmental factor in the sense that there are people who live in environments where gambling has been heavily crucified and since that is the case people who gamble in such environments have tried as much as possible to live a low-key gambling life and in terms of personality there are people who are private by nature so for that reason they decide to keep their gambling life a secret.

Aside from those two things I don't think there is anything tangible that would make somebody to keep his gambling life a secret because it doesn't really matter if it remained to be secret or not.

It also depends on the environment one finds himself, there are places where people do not encourage gamblers or gambling habits, so in that kind of situation one needs to maintain privacy. How online gambling has become popular one can just stay within his privacy and do his stuffs without any extra body interfering.

Yeah and those who can work with gambling without any issue will prevent those kind of stupid people, they will hide everything and they will not care about sharing any details of their private activities, most of the time those who are irresponsible are the people who keep losing a lot, and even how hard they tried to keep it discreet it will be revealed by the actions that they've made, losing control have a big effects with your finances and it will reflect in how you deal with your everyday life.


Yeah right, it should be applied if you are not that affected to deep, I mean if you don't have any gambling addiction problem, what happened in vegas, stay in vegas principle can be applied, but if you have that issue controlling your emotions, probably it will reflect back and your actions will reveal whatever you are hiding around.

There's no one stopping you from keeping your life secret when it comes to your gambling life. It is your life, so how you live with it, is all on you. So long you are not stepping on anyone's life, you can do what you want for your life. Most of the time, it is best to keep your gambling activities to yourself esp if you are only playing online. Less talk, less trouble, more peace of mind for yourself.

On the note of playing on physical casinos, better be aware of your actions as people are talking. Just don't do scandalous activities inside, play quietly and leave when you don't have funds anymore. Don't beg from others to supply your games.

The old adage "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" applies to gaming as well! Keeping your gambling habits confidential is a wise decision, not just to avoid criticism from others, but also to protect yourself from potential financial loss. By keeping it private, you can concentrate on having fun and making sound decisions without feeling driven by outside circumstances.

However, the shame associated with gambling can be difficult to overcome. That's why it's important to strike a balance between enjoying the thrill of gambling and maintaining control over your own gambling behavior so as to avoid letting gambling become a problem or an addiction for you.

Of course, I really agree with your opinion that we should be private for gambling activities and I also set a private status for gambling so that it is not known by other people, I suggest increasing the level of privacy to hide gambling because there is no benefit for other people knowing our activities, They also avoid gamblers because they will not help financially when we have experienced pinching economic conditions.

I think there mustn’t be any reason if one decides to be private with his gambling activities. There is only going to be a problem if one decides to be irresponsible with his gambling actions and that in turn could have a negative effects on his life and others.
But a person who gambles responsibly could have a healthy gambling lifestyle and could also be private as well. People are quick to say stupid things and literally judge someone without knowing anything. Keeping up it activities private could also bring one peace and rest of mind from judging eyes.

Literally while most in the end will up selling their properties or even their families properties and lost friends and families before they realise they are going the wrong way in gambling.

Yes if only they can see gambling does not depend solely on Luck or thinking of getting back what they lost instead just do it for fun and try to depend on your own analysis on every prediction rather than others prediction in order to grow and become a better decision maker and gambler

True, it is a fact that not having a budget is not a big problem if someone has entered the addiction phase, because they have thousands of ways to get money to be able to finance their gambling activities, I see most of those who are already addicted to making "loans" as an alternative to financing their gambling activities when they don't have money, such as borrowing from friends, relatives or maybe some loan services, usually they make the decision to borrow it without being based on any consideration, or simply they borrow but don't think about how to repay it, and even worse is when they go to legalize it, They usually make the decision to borrow it without any consideration, or simply they borrow but don't think about how to repay it, and even worse is when they resort to all means to get money such as stealing, robbing or cheating others, all of which they do in order to be able to gamble.

In the end, such actions will only lead to many new problems such as getting into debt or having problems with friends or relatives who lend money because they have difficulty paying their debts. This is one of the bad effects when you have entered the addiction phase. On the other hand, in my opinion, violence will not have much effect on curing an addicted gambler, we must understand that gambling addiction lies in the human brain and mind where they like this activity based on strange beliefs such as always expecting victory to change their lives, which means that the solution that is quite effective in my opinion is to embrace them slowly along with always giving them the right advice and understanding of what gambling really is, and I believe this way they will be able to change slowly, and also in my opinion this way can slowly eliminate their interest in gambling.

That's the point friends because after all, by looking at the stigma that occurs now, especially in some areas that are culturally and religiously strong, sometimes they will consider gambling as something despicable, including in the area where I live now, which makes this complicated if in the end we show ourselves too much even though on the other hand actually in this case we are aware that as long as it does not bother other people and does not interfere with their comfort, I don't think it is a problem but everyone's opinion is still different and gambling will still be considered a bad thing in the end.

As for showing off the profits from gambling actually this kind of thing is sometimes like a trend because we are proud of the winnings we have even though it looks quite silly but believe it or not many people do that and I agree actually when keeping gambling a secret especially with the ease of today's online sites for gambling then indeed we should be benefited by it because we don't have to bother to come and sit in the casino (showing ourselves to gamble).

Not having funds to gamble doesn't stop a gambler from gambling once he/she is addicted or tending to the state of addiction because they can't really notice this changes themselves and even if they do, they may likely fail to control themselves since it has now become an addiction, While violence is not the key answer against gambling addiction or any kind of addiction though it may work but not for everyone, those who are victim of gambling addiction and now free from it majority of them came out not through violent means but rather support from those around them or families

News or any information that you would really be telling to someone would be always have those possible wings on which if ever you told someone whether some neighbor or your friend around
that you are dealing with gambling then there would really be always that chance that it would be scattered out without you knowing or being aware on whats happening. This is why it would really be just that better you shouldnt really be telling anyone on what you are doing whether on gambling or even with your own work or source of income because on the time that there would really be some possible culprits or quarrels then you are the ones who would really be ending up on being the topic of the town and once you've been known that you are dealing with gambling
then expect that people around would really be having that negative views towards you.

true and when there is a slight response about our gambling activities from someone. whether you really like gambling or just pretending. We will definitely continue to talk about activities that are considered forbidden.
from one person, over time it will become a byword and topic of conversation with other people if we are a gambler.
and when everything is spread out, it is not impossible that we will be ostracized in the surrounding area who know and don't like our activities.

What we hide is like a carcass, what we can hide is its form, while the smell will spread everywhere and other people will smell it. so that in the end we will also be discovered that we are gamblers. And if we really want to hide these activities (gambling), then never gamble in front of other people, never gamble with friends, never visit land-based casinos and never tell anyone about these activities. Because if you do that, then the risk of the secret being leaked is definitely there, even if you are gambling or just telling about your gambling activities to someone you trust most.

And it seems like really keeping these activities a secret is not something we can do, because as ordinary humans, our tendency is to always want to show off and be hungry for praise, or just want to get sympathy from other people. so we always want to tell about extraordinary things that happen in our lives, including when we get a big win or experience a fairly significant defeat. We always want to tell about this, just to attract praise or sympathy from other people towards us.

If you do go into physical casinos then this is something obvious but if you are playing online inside your house then there would be neighbors would really be able to know on what you are doing, not unless if you do let them see on what you are doing online then this is the moment that they could really be able to make out such comments on which this is something not cant be avoided considering that human beings are naturally
that loves to judge other people specially if they've done something which is really not that good into peoples eyes. I do agree into those points that majority is really that having that a bad perception towards gambling
on which they are really that focusing that much when it comes its negative effects.

No matter how tightly we hide our gambling activities, it will definitely be seen by neighbors or others. because in gambling, our money turnover will be very fast. It could be that in one day we suddenly become rich, and it could also be that in one day we experience financial problems.
If other people are sensitive to our condition like that, of course they will think how can we get so much money? Or even though yesterday people had a lot of money, today why are they closing themselves off and asking for help borrowing money? Surely that will be a big question for everyone who knows us. and in the end they find out our real activities.
