Topic: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. - page 14. (Read 7999 times)

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.

those who are addicted to gambling inevitably develop strange interactions or habits that family or close friends are not used to seeing. because irresponsible gambling behavior will certainly involve some of the people around the gambling addict over time.
New habits may be adopted by gamblers, such as borrowing money even though they have just gotten paid and the situation continues to be repeated like that for a long time.

Those who became addicted due to their wrong reasoning that gambling can make them wealthy overnight can not fully hide their addiction from people around them, because no matter how they try their emotions will one day tell the truth that they aren't fine because  People like that make lots of mistake in their gambling by letting their emotions speak over their knowledge. If they keep acting weird, then definitely a survey would be carried out by their friends or family the truth will surely come out, and aside that most addictions lead to irresponsible gambling which would be very obvious after a while.

Both sentiments value with how a gambler thinks about their gambling participation, they've got that impression that by luck they can change their financial fate and they can shortcut their way getting rich, I guess if not all most of those who play and have this kind of mindset already lose a lot inside gambling and they can't control their emotions anymore, for some, they are just hiding it and trying to make it looks like they are just doing fine but with urgency to gamble they will still being caught according to how they behave as they really doing things unusual and even how they hide it, there are things that will expose it thru their actions.


I agree to that, if the person/gambler can manage his gambling participation well, he can hide things without any notice, time and money managements are very important not to get that too much engagement, and the good thing, you can simply stop and quit if you have that good management inside you.

When a gambler can manage his gambling activities through self-control, he can manage gambling in secret. In gambling there are many people who gamble but no one knows anything about them. Controlled gambling can be conducted so that the gambler's family or relatives do not get any information about gambling. But if the opposite happens i.e. the gambler conducts uncontrolled gambling then today or tomorrow his gambling will be exposed to everyone.

Almost all gamblers try to keep their gambling secret. If the gambler's acquaintances or family members find out about the gambling, the enjoyment of gambling normally can be hindered. For those reasons, it is better to keep secret gambling activities. However, I have seen many gamblers who do not share their gambling with their partners but they fail to keep their gambling a secret due to some uncontrolled gambling behavior.

These advertisements were created to attract the attention of gamblers to enter the casino and gamble. And many gamblers end up trapped in gambling, especially as many of them choose to hide their gambling activities from other people. They really have to be able to control themselves well so that they don't lose control of themselves.

If they often see those gambling advertisements and become interested in trying the casino, it could lead to more losses. No one was watching him when he gambled, so he was free to gamble, making him gamble more often. And that's what makes many gamblers eventually lose control of themselves and become addicted.

If there are gamblers who choose to keep their gambling activities secret, they should really have the ability to control themselves well. That's because there are so many temptations from gambling that can make them forget and end up falling deeper into gambling.

So gamblers should be more care with whatever they see online most ads are just created to over hype the casino. And after watching them one could feel he has seen an easy gambling casino to lots of win. The earlier you take gambling as a fun activity the better for you not to become addicted or disappointed with whatever you see around. It difficult to keep your gambling activity secret especially if you like using a casino gambling hall to place your bets.

It sounds very funny and strange, but in fact many people who enter the world of gambling hope to change their fate for the better and progress.
Yes, it is true that what you are conveying, a perception like that will actually make someone more addicted to gambling because they are not equipped with good understanding and good self-control so that someone thinks that gambling can make them rich. and make a lot of money.
Yes, community factors are also very influential in encouraging someone to enter the world of gambling, because there are many temptations from advertisements via the internet and gadgets so that someone can easily access them and slowly they will start to be lulled by these many temptations. . in every gambling game they access and view.

For pastimes like gambling, the "live and let live" concept resonates with me. Who says what people should enjoy in their free time? Your honesty about not caring what others think has a refreshing quality. Trust in one's ideals and decisions.

However, there's another layer. Gambling (and any stigmatised hobby) has a mental component. Secrecy and selective sharing are part of how we manage our mental space and maintain your tranquilly. You showed responsibility and caring by setting boundaries to protect your family.

Truthfulness and openness also affect mental health and personal growth. Constantly keeping secrets, especially from loved ones, can strain our public and private identities. To manage our wants and our family's while preserving mental equilibrium is difficult.

Gambling is essentially a privacy practice where a gambler may not engage in gambling in public if he wishes, as privacy must be included in this. Humans are social creatures. Humans cannot do whatever they want here, and even if they do, they must be careful not to have a negative impact on others. Moreover, in order to live as a family, some privacy matters of one member must be kept separate from other members or kept secret. Moreover, some of the secret harmful habits of adults should be kept secret from the children so that they do not spread among the children. Children should always participate in gambling with confidentiality so that children do not imitate. In schools and colleges boys and girls should participate in gambling by maintaining privacy.

I would prefer keeping my gambling activities private as it literally doesn’t concern anyone else. Keeping your activities secret cause of what people might say about you is pretty weak. I really do understand how some societies frown upon gambling and gamblers and how some ignorant individuals are quick to give unsolicited and quite useless opinions.
You should understand that people would always have something to say irregardless of what the situation may be. People are quick to judge others and call out what they perceive to be wrong in their lives while being totally oblivious to the wrongdoings in their own lives.

It would be nice if you wouldn’t dwell so much on what people would think of you. You can be the most generous person on earth but would still have people who hate your guts.

If greed has taken over then obviously gambling will become a mess even not just gambling maybe everything that is done will be a mess including thoughts and actions. and many people who gamble with them can't control themselves so they gamble with emotions and loss of control to their own detriment. it's true what you said, luck will not come often and not at the same time, luck will only come once in a while, so that's why as much as possible we should be able to take advantage of luck when it happens.

When you get a win, of course, the temptation to increase the amount of the bet is there, so they continue gambling with the winnings that have been obtained. as you said, many cases have happened that the winnings that have been obtained are lost again, because they cannot be aware of and cannot take advantage of their own opportunities. to avoid big losses it is in our own choice, if we take risks then we should be able to accept the risks that will occur such as the loss of winnings that have been obtained. it is not a thing and not a strange case anymore.

Lossing money isn't the essence of gambling actually, no body will see a thing that will make them loose money and still want to continue loosing except they have got a reason they wanted to get on such and the motive failed then they will now have to accept the fate of the losses they just got but then the real essence of gambling has always been between entertainment and making money, beyond this two I don't people will really venture into gambling.

There are people who we know wouldn't mind knowing about our gambling activities and with such people I don't think it's a big deal letting them know that you are a gambler but then if you are around those whom you know wouldn't welcome your gambling activities wholeheartedly then you should just preserve your reputation and keep your habit to yourself because it will means that you would be looking different to them when they get to know you are a gambler. Having self control while gambling is a really good thing that will help both the gambler and other people around such a gambler because he will not be at the risk of using their resources to gamble since he has got control over it but when he isn't he may like use it with the hope of recovering it back and then end up ruining others aswell as their selves.

Many people doing the same as you to hide their gambling activity because they don't wants public know that they are a gambler. We don't wants the public say anything bad about us but they don't know the right. Playing gambling is a personal decision but those who hide their gambling activity must know how to treat gambling well so they don't have a problem from gambling. They need to used gambling properly and not gambling excessively to avoid addiction that many gamblers faced. Hiding our gambling activity is our choice too especially if we lived among the public that don't like gambling. We need to take care ourselves from gambling and from the problem behind gambling.

We raised small amount of money from gambling, but the bigger ones comes from solid investment made, we're suppose to be living well and keep making plans to go higher in every level we found ourselves. I keep my gambling activities private because there's no need to start raising alarm for the public to noticed especially when you're holding one important position in the society. Gambling is not a right choice to selects, however there are numerous ways to enchanced and invest in stocks. We gamble and that doesn't mean any negative thougts.

It very funny how most persons think they'll become rich through gambling, unknown to them that they are just setting a basic foundation for addiction. Gambling is a game of give and take, but if you get this interpretation wrong, you might end up addicted or quitting the game. Some persons join the gambling community through ads on social media and some apps, were they hype the winning accuracy of any participate, but funny enough when they begin to gamble they have a different experience other than what they saw on the ads.

Well, don't be afraid and don't be surprised, basically without us knowing or realizing it. we also sometimes become perpetrators who like to judge other people, or people around us are caught in gambling. that's how it is, but the point we are discussing is not what I said at the beginning of the post.

When it comes to gambling, in fact there is nothing that forbids us from keeping what we like a secret, including gambling. what is certain is that loyal gamblers have reasons that vary greatly depending on the situation and conditions of each gambler. especially those related to name and reputation, so it's only natural because until now gambling is still seen only from a negative side and I can totally understand that. ah, for me personally, to be honest, I don't care if people know that I like betting on football or some of the games provided by the casino platform. after all, what we spend is our own money. my principle is that no one is harmed at all. especially, the closest family. thus, everything is safe and under control.

The problem of negative perception, let it go because after all they have the right to judge. the point is, I stick to my personal principles. there are no people who I have harmed, as for the people who judge me, that is their personal judgment and it is not my responsibility to explain it. I prioritize principles and integrity, I mean, when we work, I do it professionally without any indication of gambling. when I have a relaxing time session, it means I have the option to play around with this hobby of mine.  but I am also human, of course I have secrets, including keeping gambling a secret from certain people. Firstly, my parents should not think other things. secondly, my children because it is not yet time for them to learn something they don't understand yet. so, just relax and enjoy our role.
