who use gambling as a source of income and if they on a good money from gambling then he/she definitely will share their winning to others friends and relatives and they will happily convince them to gamble. actually gambling addicted people are not able to understand the bad effect of gambling and how they got damaged from the gaming addiction. but who are using gambling as a fun they will not share there gaming activities to others because they know if the share their gaming activities then it will rain there reputation on the society.

I think perhaps many gamblers still want to give the joy of winning to others, but will others take advantage of it in the future? What I mean is that other people can see and receive the results of a gambler's winnings, so that it can influence someone to follow in their footsteps in carrying out gambling activities.
An addict most likely cannot understand the impact of gambling so he only wants momentary pleasure for himself, even though if he continues this pleasure it could be a disaster for him someday.
Yes, that's right, if there are people who gamble just for fun, there are also those who don't publicize their activities to other people so as not to have a bad influence on other people who don't understand what gambling is.

It's not a matter of pride or not, in the environment where I live it's exactly like you said, if they know there are gamblers they will think we are very bad, and in my country gambling is strictly prohibited in all ages so it's normal they can think like that , but if fellow gamblers it doesn't matter if they know that we are gamblers, so I better hide it, for convenience

Depends from a situation and just like how you choose to hide it just to prevent discrimination where you are in the place that people will automatically thinks that you are doing wrong, we can't avoid this kind of situation as there are still places where gambling is not fully accepted especially those rural and religious communities where they are treating gambling as sin.

As an individual you are the one that's needed to adjust, you can only disclose your participation from those who also have that same interest, people who are also involved in gambling like you.

Gambling is essentially socially ill Gambling is frowned upon by many people and society. So many people want to keep their gambling habit a secret and gamble secretly for their own safety. There are some gamblers around us who get addicted to gambling and indulge in various vices. For example, people who are addicted to gambling gamble more and more to recover their lost money and become more dangerous and create a chaos in the family. For those addicts, the reputation and pride of gambling is being destroyed. As a result many people are secretly enjoying the joy of gambling. I play gambling for my own pleasure.

Arguably, the idea that someone should keep his gambling activities a secret is actually wrong. Now for a core gambler gambling is seen as a normal fun activity or a normal leisure activity and therefore they will definitely be of the opinion that there is no need to keep it hidden. Logically it sounds right. Gambling is supposed to be a totally fun activity however unfortunately most people no longer see it as a fun act because of the added financial gain.
If a family member should end up finding out that you're a gambler and you've been hiding it they will feel very bad. Sometimes not even because it was gambling but because of the fact you hid something from them. It could even lead to worse if they see gambling as a wrong act.

Sharing our gambling habit with friends and family can help us emotionally and offer counsel, particularly if we are struggling with gambling-related issues or addiction. Furthermore, keeping it a secret can deny us access to beneficial tools or solutions.
For example, if we are honest with them about our gambling habits, they can keep an eye on how we behave.
In my opinion, it's a good thing that they know what we do since then they can advise us or issue warnings if we engage in any risky gambling practices.

A person can hide their gambling habits if they play only in online casinos not physical casinos can keep it a secret if you can afford it,

My brother I still doubt it because as you said if the person also mingle with friends and discuss about gambling at least one of his friends will definitely know that he his friend is a gambler. Because there are some times in the process of discussing, argument would burst out and he would say somethings which wouldn't say in public to protect himself and things like "I don't want my game to cut" or " I want my supporting team to win so that I will win this amount" and once those statements are made they would know that he is a gambler, he plays gamble. And the only thing he might do at that time is to beg them not to expose him and if they agreed then he has luck , but even at that it is 50/50 because the day when one of the friends agreeing with another group of people in another casino centers, he might use his friend as example. A guy came to my house and he login to a casino site so I asked him if he is gambling and he denied that he is not but was checking something. And I immediately know that he is denying but he was hiding his gambling habit but I have known. It is not easy to hide gambling habit my brother.

I get wanting to keep things chill with your wife and fam, but hiding your online gambling ain't exactly the smoothest move. Honesty is like money. It builds trust, and trust is the gold in any relationship. Keeping this secret might feel like a quick fix, but it can blow up later, leaving everyone feeling hurt and confused. Imagine their faces when the truth drops – not cool, right?

Finances ain't magic. Even if you think those funds are "extra," are they really? Gambling, even small amounts, can sneak up on your budget faster than a ninja in the night. Talking it out with your wife helps you both see the bigger picture and make choices that work for everyone.

Denial ain't a river. Saying "it's just a little fun" might feel easier, but ignoring the risks is like playing chicken with a freight train. Gambling can be addictive, messing with your finances, emotions, and even landing you in legal trouble. Brushing it off makes it harder to get help if things get rough.

The matter how you hide your gambling habit from people, people will still know. And once one person knew it in your neighborhood or your friend then it is no longer a secret because what you know by yourself is secret because at that stage you have not given or tell anyone about the issue, it is within you and once you tell anyone then it is no more w a secret. And gambling is not something you keep to yourself for a very long time because you must visit casino centers and place bet and print out slips. Habit can not be hidden for a long time because you must mingle with other people. And if it is a hobby or the person is an addict to gamble then the person can't hide it and it would become a public announcement to all.

A person can hide their gambling habits if they play only in online casinos not physical casinos can keep it a secret if you can afford it, but honestly gambling is commonplace and many people know about it from the younger generation to the elderly even in a group of friends are sure to often discuss gambling even if for example you can play but you know how to play gambling, so indeed they will know it's just that they don't care about that view or from others.

If gambling is not a hobby, a the way to earn money. A job. Then it is nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide either. Who would hide the fact that he works? I think nobody. People would rather hide the fact that they dont work.

Usually people who don't have a permanent job or real job will keep their hobby of gambling a secret from other people for the reason that they don't feel embarrassed and in general people think that gambling is an activity that is prohibited and causes a lot of harm. self. So gamblers try to cover up their hobby so they don't get caught.
However, this is different from people who gamble to make money, it is very likely that they will dare to tell or share their activities with other people because gambling can make extra money.

who use gambling as a source of income and if they on a good money from gambling then he/she definitely will share their winning to others friends and relatives and they will happily convince them to gamble. actually gambling addicted people are not able to understand the bad effect of gambling and how they got damaged from the gaming addiction. but who are using gambling as a fun they will not share there gaming activities to others because they know if the share their gaming activities then it will rain there reputation on the society.

I find it wrong to hide fact of gambling if it is a hobby. I dont understand why should a person even do that? Especially if it is just a hobby. People who have real hobbies or pashioned in something do completely opposite than hiding. Instead the share and show their hobby to others. Ask any person who is into collecting models, postmarks and etc about his hobby and he will talk for hours.

Those that keep their gambling habit a secret is it that they're not proud of what they are doing?.

Let me just go straight to the point of your question. People who keep their gambling habit a secret, are those that are chronic gamblers probably they might have sold most of there belonging and render themselves useless with Dept all over, and they have been given warning never to be seen in a gambling hall or anywhere close to gambling casino. And in pursuit of to abide on that law, they hide while gambling. They don't do it for anybody or there friends, but because of the commitment they have made.
With there family.

This is an answer that is actually not very correct if you say that those who keep their gambling activities secret are chronic gamblers, how can gambler who keeps their gambling activities secret is chronic gambler?
Maybe they sold some valuables and have also lost lot of things which makes them like useless gamblers but this is their problem with themselves not with anyone else and there is no reason to hide all this from the public.
That was mistake they made and I sure what they did was actually known by many people including all family members, selling most of their valuables to be able to gamble clearly would be very visible so it had nothing to do with keeping it secret.

Truth is that gambling activities are kept secret because of the desire to remain anonymous for several basic reasons, one of which is to avoid bad things such as extortion or theft when winning big.
Apart from that, it can also be said that not everyone perspective on gambling is good because in social life gambling is still considered bad activity.
There are various reasons that can actually explain this context and not all of them will be related to some nonsense.

Just because someone keeps their gambling habits private doesnt mean they're chronic gamblers. I understand the point - secrecy doesn't mean chronic gaming. Why the secrecy? Gambling stigma and judgment anxiety are palpable, as I've seen. Its not only about extortion or theft after a huge win; its about how society views gaming.

Who sells assets to gamble? Thats an obvious indicator, impossible to disguise, but does it nullify the emotional fight to keep one's sentiments and reasons private? In my opinion, no. More than meets the eye. The psychological struggle, guilt, and fear of inferiority. Thats chronic secrecy.

I think these days with so many gambling companies involved with sponsorship deals with sporting teams we love to watch or merely fans of... There is so much gambling content out there such as TV ads, clothing with gambling sites printed on them, billboards you name it and this has made gambling kind of an acceptable thing people can try out without anybody looking down on them...

And the fact that gambling has proved to be an alternative source of funds if you know what you doing is drawing more people here, and this has brought people in the open and are gambling freely without keeping it a secret, unless gambling is banned in your jurisdiction then it's a valid reason to keep this a secret!!!..

Of course the more exposure to such marketing campaigns the more prone for people who are not happy with their life,their work life specifically and they come to find refuge in gambling,if this proves to be a working alternative as source of funds it will be even better for them.However since most of the time in public I go to the church on Sundays I remember last Sunday speech which was all about how stupid are the people who gamble as the priest was telling a story about people telling here that the machines (he was referring to physical ones) are programmed 97% to get and 3% maybe to win,so I was barely containing myself from laughing aloud.This story to shows that gambling has no limits it hits even firm believers and turns them into gambling addicts.

Yes and that is one of the advantages of socialization in gambling, sometimes things like this do not only apply in gambling but in real life too such as when you experience some problems and any problems whether it is the world of work or even more often is about romance then usually you will look for someone who can listen to the problems you are experiencing with the aim of getting at least some solutions that can be considered and it is true that this will be quite useful if we apply to gambling problems which as you say when we are experiencing a defeat that is quite painful, because of course sharing stories or experiences with others will be able to make us feel more comfortable and calm.

And yes as you said if indeed we have a good approach in the sense that it can still make us safe and comfortable in gambling then I think socialization is not really needed, and maybe you will only feel a little boredom situation with the gambling you do. So the point is in this matter I think we cannot completely rule out socialization activities in gambling because of the fact as we discussed above that this is indeed needed especially when we experience problems in gambling.

It depends on each person because some are used to sharing what they experience with others, and others prefer to hide it from others because they feel they are still capable of doing so. Usually, those who are used to sharing it with other people are very picky and won't share it with many people, and only those close to them will know the story. They have been chosen to be listeners, give advice, and helpers to people who gamble so that they listen to their advice. When the gambler experiences problems, the gambler will go to these people to ask for advice or other needed things.

Some people like to socialize, and those who don't, so we cannot equate one person with another. Those who are closed off from other people don't really like sharing what they experience or do, so it gives the impression that they don't want to socialize even though they are very picky in choosing people who are only close to them. And in telling what they experienced, they will look for people who really understand them so they will not choose just anyone.

Yes I understand this, it all depends on themselves and it is a fact that some people prefer to be closed to others, they have their own way of solving their problems, maybe by locking themselves in the room while crying, of course for this problem it is true and I quite agree with your idea that it depends on the person. Yes that's right, people who choose to tell their problems to others will also not be careless in choosing people, because not everyone can be trusted to keep other people's problems a secret and this is the reason people will be very careful to choose listeners who can really keep their secrets and usually they often choose the people closest to them such as their true friends or one of their family members. But sometimes there are also listeners who really just listen and don't provide any solutions or suggestions to consider, people like that are quite boring Cheesy

but it doesn't really matter because at least they are willing to be a good listener. Grin

A good valid reason in terms of awareness, there are many sponsorshps and there are many influencers all over the internet that are involve to this venue, I like that idea where you mentioned that impression with gambling involvement is no longer that much as you are doing a really bad habits, and some cases when a gambler knew how to work on it ang manage to win decently they are being called professional but the venue is still gambling.

Acceptance might be much better nowadays compared from that old-school decrinmination that happening before. You need to carry that mindset and not to be bothered if you are in this kind of activities.
