Topic: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. - page 13. (Read 8311 times)

Yes actually in any case related to bad habits then eventually it will be found out too, but it may take quite a long time for the addiction to develop and also requires some situations where the addicted person no longer has an excuse to cover up all his lies. Gambling addiction is in a person's mindset where their thoughts are only focused on gambling which means of course as you said that they will only think about gambling most of the time.

This is gambling which requires money as a condition for involvement or to start a gambling session, and obviously when a gambler has entered the addiction phase then most likely they will gamble without any restrictions, one of which is in terms of time and money, they will continue to gamble even to the point of forgetting to rest so that it interferes with their health, and if this is done frequently and excessively then this is where financial problems begin, for someone who is single it may not be too much of a problem because they only pay for their own life, But for someone who is married, this is clearly a problem that can destroy their household relationship, which as we discussed above that over time your family will lose balance and ability in terms of money, your wife will find that expenses are increasing but there is no "reasonable" allocation of money (such as urgent needs) which ultimately raises suspicion which ends in the destruction of the household, not a few I found cases where husband and wife divorced due to gambling and this is the fact of the bad impact of gambling when you are unable to control your gambling.

It's true that gambling is viewed vary widely by the society, depending on personal beliefs, experiences and cultural factors. Gambler who keep it a secret from their family and friends could have a variety of reasons. Could be because they feel ashamed or embarrassed or maybe they just fear being judged or affects their relationship from other people or their loved ones and etc. Whether or not your proud as a gambler or you just simply want t o keep you personal activities private, it still varies from person to person.

Gambling is wrong in the beginning, and even if we hide it, sooner or later we will make that one mistakes and we will exposed our secrets to anyone. So it could be very bad for you, or they will accept you as who you are, no question about it.

But there are personalities that needed to protect themselves from the public eye. For sure we all know who this people are. For ordinary gamblers, maybe we will be frown upon in work if our co-workers find out that we are into gambling. But perhaps there are also others who's into it. Personally, when I was working, there is no secret, on the other hand, me and my mates will gamble after office hours, specially Friday night or during pay-day.

Yes, a gambler will not engage in excessive activity when he is aware that his behavior is very wrong, so he tends to always be careful in all the actions he takes in the future. However, gamblers who lose control tend to be more aggressive and irregular in controlling their emotions, so they think it is the right move to win, but instead they often lose and lose a lot of money.


That's right, because it is easy for someone to guess or say that if someone is involved in the world of gambling, they will definitely think that that person is an addict even though what they say is not necessarily true.
Because people only see from the negative side that gambling is a place that is prohibited, people who visit there will definitely experience many problems in their lives. And I agree with you, if someone says something like that then the right step is for us to keep quiet and let other people have an opinion.

We should always do things that will help us to stay safe while gambling to make money. The aim could be for money making but we should always observe when we are doing the wrong thing. Gambling can be very addictive and with some bad habit if we don't think we and do something that would help us to relinquish from such habit. We can easily get bad habit but it is very hard for us to get good habit because it can be pain for us trying to the right thing so we don't end up a miscreant. We have the responsibility to keep our gambling lifestyle from the public of it going to affect our image in a wrong way.

That is totally true. There is no way someone can hide their gambling habits for a long period of time. Besides the financial aspect and the fact of always looking busy, the gambler will also be constantly distracted, as his mind were always away from his body, while also displaying lack of focus on the interactions with his family members, because he will be thinking on gambling all the time, and on the short time intervals he is able to get his thoughts away from gambling, he will be thinking on the consequences of his addiction in secret, since he doesn't want to share his habits with the family, possibly for feeling guilty about it.

Maybe the family won't know exactly the reason why the addicted one is behaving that way in the beginning, but it's a sure thing they will know there is something wrong going on with the person. Only when the wife links the financial aspect to the behavioral one, plus the history of the banking account, she and the family will finally conclude what is going on, unless the gambler saves them a lot of time by confessing the harsh situation he has been going through.

True, people who have entered the addiction phase will never be able to hide their bad habits especially from those closest to them such as family members, because over time the people around him including his wife will find out about his bad habits, And you have said that a gambler who has entered the addiction phase requires a lot of time and money to fund his gambling activities and obviously means that most likely over time his wife will find out through the amount of money that is lost without being noticed, for the initial stage maybe they can still quibble with some excuses but over time there will be suspicion from his family members and obviously they will soon find out that the amount of money that is missing is because it is used to finance gambling activities.

Not only in terms of finances, because family members or his wife must feel changes from her husband, such as in terms of being someone who looks busier, often leaving the house for reasons that seem reasonable when in reality they go to a physical casino, family members will also definitely suspect and realize that there is a change in behavior from that person. So no matter how good you are at hiding bad habits, you will eventually be found out, because there are many aspects that will look suspicious to the people around you.

And once you do have this kind of mindset or impressions then you are just basically be putting up yourself on such huge trouble or issue because you would really be just that basically making yourself
that getting addicted to it. When it comes on making gambling activity as a secret then its not that bad to make others do see on what you are doing but since gambling does have that kind of negativity
towards the community or turns out to have that typical impression on what gambling is all about then you would really be that basically be having that kind of common sense that you would really be hiding
up yourself into the public just because you dont really like on getting that bashed or having those getting bad words from people around.

When they do know that you are getting involved with gambling then they would really be automatically making you as a gambling addict directly even if its not.
Is there something that we can do? There's none because this is how this gambling do really been that treated up on which it is really just that sad but there's nothing we can do.
So its up to you whether you do let other people do see you on what you are doing or you would really be just simply making yourself keeping silent.

You are right, that's possible to happen even how hard the gambler will try to hide his participation to any types of gambling but if he already exceed and already become addicted, he will be caught according to his action just the same with your example, epecially for those who have obligation like having family that leaning to you, they will observe things that unusual and if you use money that supposedly for other things it can easily be track and expect that there are actions that your love ones will going to take to know what's happening to you.


He will not, as he thinks that day will come and luck will permits him to win big, and while waiting for that time he will find himself keep losing money, to the point that it's already bringing regrets as the amount is no longer acceptable and he can no longer allow to let go, something that really exceeds from his limitation.

That makes sense, because if someone is addicted to gambling then it is likely that they will experience changes in attitude and behavior, and of course this will make people around them question or become suspicious, such as family. where the family will start to suspect him when he experiences changes and maybe the family will start investigating because of course the family doesn't want bad things to happen to their family members, whereas gambling addiction is something that is not good or even bad, because it can destroy a person's life quickly. or slow. Even so, no matter how hard they try to hide it, it may eventually be revealed, just like hiding corpse flowers, after a while the smell will be smelled, but in my opinion there is no harm in trying to hide the gambling activities that are carried out, because most of the gambling is done. is an activity that has a negative perspective, and many people also think that gambling is a bad thing, therefore the efforts made to hide the gambling activities that are carried out in my opinion are good, unless the person is thirsty to show off, which is the case with gambling What they do is that every now and then they will definitely win and they will show it off either on social media or directly by word of mouth.

I think actions like this are only carried out by neat gamblers where they try not to show the impact of the gambling they do, and if they are addicted it will clearly be visible changes in their attitude, also I think their emotions will become uncontrolled, and with their family who often asking what happened to them or in other words nagging or complicated, maybe occasionally someone who is addicted to this can shout at them in an angry tone, because they feel uncomfortable with questions they don't want to hear. I agree with you that most addictions lead to irresponsible gambling, where they gamble excessively which can make them change in a short period of time.

Everything will definitely be fine if he is able to manage his gambling activities so that he will not experience any problems and can enjoy his gambling activities well. By being able to control himself while gambling, he will continue to maintain his limits so that he will not use up a lot of money. And although they don't hide their gambling activities, no one is bothered by anything.

Yes, most gamblers keep their gambling activities a secret from their families, including online gamblers because they know it could cause problems for them. However, some gamblers cannot control themselves well, which actually makes them addicted to gambling because there is no supervision from their family. If they become addicted to gambling, it means they have done something wrong. And if really no one knows about his gambling problem, even to the point of gambling addiction, that really presents a problem.

We should think about keeping our gambling activities hidden, especially from our partners, or trying to tell the truth about our gambling activities. Maybe it would be better because someone would watch over us so that we don't gamble excessively.

If a gambler sees that a gambling activity can make him rich then of course this is a wrong impression and it is true that if he has that impression then someone who is involved in the world of gambling will only see luck. side of things and don't see it often. other people lose.
And because of that, he will not be able to control his emotions and behavior when he is in the casino, so he will easily become a gambling addict.

Even if the gambler playing in an offline casino decide to play gamble outside his vicinity, his gambling habits would still be know if he gets addicted, especially when he has a family. Gambling addiction take lots of time and money to fund, so when one gets addicted while he has a family, he'll probably keep late at night or come back home with stories about money to be used for other things, and that will definitely make his family to be curious of the main reason why such things have been happening, and If he still refuses to tell them the truth, they might even track him down to the casino hall one day.

Yes, no matter how hard you would really be hiding those gambling activity specially into your family but with your acts and behavior you do have on which it do really looks unusual to them then this is where it would really be starting those kind of investigating or trying to find out on what you are dealing with. Sooner or later then you would really be getting busted that you are dealing with gambling. Speaking about keeping gambling as a secret then it would really be just that depending on someones choice because there are people who are really that too scared on telling someone about their dealing up with gambling.

We do know that when it comes to dealing with gambling then majority of people would really be having that kind of negativity towards it and on the time that they've seen someone who do make out some dealings
with it then they would really be having that bad impressions too. This is why it would really not shocking that majority will really be deciding on trying out to hid their
gambling activity with other people.

Yes, it is true and the development of behavioral changes occurs consciously or unconsciously, in my opinion this or changes in character and habits are very likely to occur, especially for those people who are already in the addiction phase where they always gamble with desperation or emotion due to not being able to accept the fact of defeat that can never be avoided no matter how skilled you are. And the first person who will feel and know or realize the change is the close family of the addicted person because the family is the one who interacts with the person more often.

Or some of his close friends will also definitely feel it, such as one of them from the problem of loans which I think is an action that must be done by addicts when they run out of money to fund their gambling, and sometimes they borrow forcibly without thinking about how to pay it. Usually from some of the cases that have occurred such people run away from responsibility, or they mean they don't pay their debts because when they have money but the money is used for gambling instead of paying debts, this is always a problem between them and the people who lend money.

To your last statement about keeping gambling activity a secret most especially for those who gamble on offline casinos, I might agree with your but not completely, for i believe that choosing to keep a thing secret or make it public is always in our hands, there is always a way to go about such a thing.
For example, if you like to gamble in offline casinos and still don't want anyone that knows you knowing that you gamble, all you have to do is choose a physical casino that is very far from the area where you live, and where any of your relatives live, you can go there anytime you want, spend the amount of time you want and then travel back home when done, it's as simple as that.

And speaking on what ads of casinos usually say or the impressions they give, compared to the actual live experience, I would say that that is just what marketing is all about, if they tell you and I the truth of or behind gambling through their ads, non of us will want to gamble, in fact, some of us already gambling may even decide to stop, but the casino know well to always make gambling very attractive to viewers of their ads, that is the only way the casinos can lure the views into gambling if the viewer is someone who has never gambled or has not been gambling before.
