Topic: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. - page 25. (Read 8311 times)

Yes, actually it doesn't matter if people want to hide their gambling activities because maybe people want privacy too, everyone definitely has different views about maintaining their privacy so I think it's normal if they want to hide it, personally I don't publish it either. my family or my friends, unless she is my wife, it is important for her to know that I gamble because I trust her to manage my gambling budget.

What you say is true, at least there is someone who knows that we gamble, which is important because we are worried that if we are out of control and addicted to gambling, there is definitely someone who will help us to recover from that addiction. Never hide anything from the people closest to us, for example our wives, because people Parents may not necessarily like their children gambling, but a wife might allow us to gamble if we are honest and open with her.

Chasing losses does not hurt but it is likely that we will run out of money more to chase the losses that have been lost, so there is no end to chasing losses without awareness, but if you have limitations in gambling it will reduce the risk of gambling. I have been in this phase even though I only played for one night but I was upset when I lost even though it was a small amount, and fortunately luck was on my side so that I reversed all the losses I experienced that night.

Yes, that's true, but I was able to keep the secret so well that my family didn't know anything about me gambling on weekends only. And for now I rarely play because I feel familiar with the end that will be obtained. Apart from that, I don't want my family to know about my bad habits every weekend because I'm afraid something bad will happen like you said.

Of course, the winnings they get will not equal the losses they have lost, but it depends on luck, like I said. I played at night with a loss that made me upset not long ago all my losses turned into a win that doubled the loss, so it all depends on whether luck is on our side or not. Yes, that's right because gambling will obviously have a bad impact and winning is just a numerical value not more than that.

Yes it is. they still hide their gambling activity only share with me and I'm not share with someone else, Privacy matters.


Hahahha We are from the same country bro so no wonder people will directly judge, and the gambling issue is a kinda hot topic right now. But my friend did the opposite last time he won 40$~ish he share the won but only to his close friend 

In my place there people win big around $2000 and quickly he modified his motorcycle.


It is take a huge risk.  Government is not allowed, Religion says is prohibited and Family can judge. But sometimes they do gamble for fun with depo only 5$ so yeah here do gamble privacy is number one

on one hand, this is an embarrassing story that no one else needs to know, so it is right to keep his gambling activities a secret because if everyone around him knew that he was a gambling addict who had spent a lot of money and valuables, he might be bullied and criticized badly by him. people around him and maybe it does not matter to him but for his family it would be very bad and it would be a shame if the family did not know anything about what was happening suddenly getting bad criticism every day becomes the subject of bad talk to people around him and this is painful.

Its okay to keep gambling activities a secret, it does not mean we hide our addiction, but at least one family member or close relative should know because if something bad like this happens there is someone who can explain or help him or her not to become addicted to gambling.

People are drawn to gambling by the excitement, attraction, and possibility of large wins. Though, life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. A lot of people experience significant losses, and worse; they end up stuck in a never-ending cycle of trying to recover those losses.

Now, on to the secrecy part. I genuinely do understand. It's normal to wish to keep things hidden if your family doesn't approve. The problem is, though, that secrets tend to leak. Furthermore, when they do, there may be some fairly ugly consequences. Not only is money lost , but relationships are often strained and trust betrayed. It's a heavy price to pay

And those who boast about their victories? They may have experienced a few nice days, but I guarantee they have also experienced many horrible ones. Although it's simple to brag about the victories and keep the defeats hidden, they are aware of the reality. And the veracity? It isn't always attractive. Therefore, even while I respect your decision to keep your gambling a secret, I strongly advise you to consider the possible repercussions. Because in the end, relationships, trust, and love are more important than money. And those, too? They are invaluable

If you're gambling for fun and you're not going astray then why listen to other people, it's your happiness that matters here, if they see that you are still okay and you are doing fine with your life then you have nothing to be guilty of, people will say a lot of bad things to you because they do not know the real you, you can hide your gambling or letting people know that you gamble but either way it should not harm you as long as you feel better, there's also health benefits from responsible gambling something these people do not know.
If you're a responsible gambler there's nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to hide as long as you are not only a responsible gambler but also a responsible person in your work and to your family.

People's principles are different, I myself will keep my gambling a secret. Whether I win or lose, I will keep it a secret because gambling is not a good thing to be proud of and tell others about. My own family will be angry or disapprove of gambling even if it wins. Winning or losing everyone knows that gambling is not a good thing, gambling can attract anyone easily because of the temptations that guarantee victory, so it all comes back to yourself, I myself have the principle of hiding my gambling behavior, it's just that I've seen people who are proud of their wins even though I know that they have suffered heavy losses, I laugh at people who are proud of their wins that are not equivalent to the losses they have experienced.

That's the way it should be, because I don't think other people need to know about the gambling we do. Take for example, suppose there is one person who has experienced heavy losses and has been heavily addicted to gambling. Then he is at the lowest point because he has nothing but family. And he told family that all of his money and assets were sold off because of gambling. I'm sure his family's reaction will be disappointed, angry, even sad. Because of what? Because this stupid person has spent all his money on a game that is uncertain of his victory.

If gambling habbit is secret or not but its a dangerous activity so try to avoid this bad habbit until its too late because one cannot be a happy person after starting gambling. Not only a gambler but the whole family feels insecure may be its a secret or not because truth cannot be hidden for longer time.

I think one should not keep any job or activity as a secret because if there is no secret then people can give you suggestions and advice otherwise you will loss money continuously and people will know it when you completely loss whole amount and start borrowing money from others. Your work have impact on your personality therefore if you have bad job your career will also be bad and if you choose better job you can speak about it with everyone because you will be glad for your act.

Well, you can't really blame your loved ones for criticizing your decisions because they are simply concerned to you. If those people who are close to you will negatively react once they knew you are gambling, it's because most probably they heard the disadvantages gambling may bring into one's life. Gambling addiction is a serious matter. They might be thinking that you might end up one so they discourage you as much as they can to quit and stop gambling. It's already given that gambling still has a negative connotation. Now, it will depend on you on how you will make them understand that there can be benefits to be reap from gambling. You can always educate them and make them secured and assured that you have a boundary and limitations to follow to not be dependent and addicted, and be like other guys who went bankrupt and even had pile of debts. It will be your responsibility to make them trust you and your judgment, especially if they are special people in your life whom you want to share your experiences with.

Keeping your gambling life a secret is worth it to some extent as it has to do with your personal privacy. Most gamblers do keep it a secret because there is this believe that gambling is not good and as such people should not be entangled in a gambling lifestyle and do would decide to keep it to themselves.

Another thing is this, if it happens to be a gambler who has family and kids growing up, it would be nice keeping it away from them because kids of an these days are very much smart and inquisitive and would definitely want to know what their father, mother, brother or sister is doing and as such would be very curious about it.

Lastly in some regions, gamblers are seen as irresponsible and are not regarded or accorded some level of respect due them. So imagine you telling your family that you are a gambler and wait for the reaction or response you would get from them. Imagine you playing and losing and at the entire end, your family or  loved ones hear about it tell me how or what the response would look like.

It’s not essential to keep the gambling to be secret based on your thoughts,but sometimes we need to keep the gambling habit as secret one because the family members of the gamblers will trouble to not play in the future days.Mostly the wife or girlfriend of the gamblers will do this trouble,once you shared them about your loss to the gambling sites.The perspective of many people around us in the gambling was wrong,So we can’t do anything for their perspective to the game.

So we should live our life for ouourselves,it’s not necessary to give importance to the other perspectives on us and in our action.Telling about our gambling involvement to others is based on us.So we can’t forced by anyone to shared to declare the involvement to the gambling.If you get that situation in the gambling make sure your privacy was important that the others relationship.The gambling winnings also to be keep in secret from your friends or girlfriend.

If gambling is prohibited in your area and yet your friends are still gambling, they are really taking a great risk. This is not just about hiding it from their family; if the restriction is something from the government, and the casino also acknowledges that, finding out that someone is gambling in a restricted area can get the person's account locked up because they have broken one of the casino strict rules.
 
Aside from breaking the casino rules, the person can also get punished by their people if they find out that the member has been doing what's not allowed in the family. Unless, as a person, you are willing to gamble and take all that risk, the kind of hiding that is encouraged sometimes is where gambling is legal in your area and yet, based on some personal reasons, you just don't want your parents and friends to know about it. That one is understandable because even if they find out, they will only get angry, and an explanation can solve that one, and you are free to go.

Everyone has a different point of view, that's why there are some gamblers who prefer to hide their gambling activities and there are also those who don't, there are many reasons why people hide their gambling, for example if they are in a country that considers gambling to be illegal, of course it will be very dangerous for them if they are caught by the law because gambling and it definitely violates the rules and could be subject to criminal sanctions, so they prefer to hide it rather than publicize it.

In my country it is also illegal so I prefer to hide it even when I win big I never share screenshots of my winnings on my social media because of course there is a large family who of course doesn't need to know about my gambling activities, so it actually comes back to the point each person's views and also we cannot judge someone as someone who is anonymous or very protective of privacy, there could be a reason to hide it because of legal issues or other things so he has to hide it, in essence there is no problem whether he wants to hide it or not

Even though you have friends and family who like to gamble, I sure you will still hide every gambling activity you do. Most gamblers do this to maintain their good name and also maintain their privacy to stay safe when gambling.
Well what more the majority public of the country where you live is Muslim and when other people, perhaps neighbors or people in the neighborhood where you live find out that you are gambler it can cause bad feelings in their eyes.

Even though we have friends who we know well maintaining privacy for gambling activities is important because we don't know everyone thoughts.
Trust me, but if it about matters that are private then it would be better to really protect it even if it from close friends or family.

Yup, people are so easily to judge especially if they know that your money is fruit of gambling. As we lived in this generation wherein many are open on the idea of doing some activities just like gambling, still many Olders still think that if you're into gambling, you are doing an illegal activity, So there's no point to let them know that you're doing it because even if you explained well yourself, They are more likely to believe what they really want to believe. Much better if you keep it to yourself or share it to your most trusted person in life.

As long as they can take care of themselves by always controlling themselves when gambling, keeping their gambling a secret is okay because the worry that they will lose self-control while gambling will always be there. And when we lose self-control, no one knows what we are doing so when we finally become addicted to gambling, no one knows. That will only increase the burden for us because we may have difficulty overcoming the gambling addiction that comes to us so we cannot reduce our gambling activities but will instead become more involved in gambling.

If that happens, we can't do anything but follow our instincts to gamble and that is more dangerous because we will never know when we have to stop unless the money is gone. Meanwhile, our emotions can also change when we become addicted to gambling so it will also have an impact on our relationships with the people around us and it will only put a question mark on them. And when they find out that we are addicted to gambling, they may find it difficult to help us because we already have a serious gambling addiction. If this is the case, it will be difficult for us to cure gambling addiction. But keeping our gambling activities secret from other people is a choice and before we choose it, we should think about all the risks that could arise later.

In my opinion there is nothing to be proud of from gambling, because even with the winnings obtained through gambling people will judge badly because the money earned is money from gambling. Everyone knows the view of gambling is bad, so I personally wouldn't tell others about my gambling, because there's no benefit either hahaha. If it's for entertainment, then entertainment only, gambling is just a game broo not a place to make money.

Yes I agree with you, there is no point if we tell other people or social media. What I feel is the same, I gamble on weekends and my work friends are the same. But I myself don't want my workmates to know, win yes take lose yes already. There is no need to tell here and there because in my opinion it is useless, although there are some gamblers who like to tell their gambling whether they lose or win they will definitely publish it, I had a laugh when I saw my friend showing off his meager winnings, I'm sure the winnings he got were not worth the defeat he had felt so I wonder why anyone would want to show off his ugliness, indeed different points of view, but I emphasize that everyone knows that gambling is not a good thing but a bad thing that will damage the future if we are addicted to gambling.

This applies if you already have a winning strategy for the gambling you're into. However, some people who struggle to profit from gambling tend to be open and share their gambling experiences with friends, which might not be a bad idea either. Fellow gamblers eventually share with each other the opportunities that can be taken for profit, and this knowledge is usually gained by those who have a fondness for gambling and a little bit of empathy.

There are certain gambling secrets that should be kept by someone, mainly to protect what needs to be protected. Just like a child shouldn't know anything about gambling until they reach a certain age. Therefore, keeping it a secret from the family is the right thing to do to protect them from this negative environment. Gambling, if not approached wisely, can be financially detrimental to a family. That's quite dangerous, isn't it? So, we need to keep gambling a secret from certain people who shouldn't know about it.

Well first of all the even the gambling exist before the bitcoin and cryptocurrencies where people use the fiat money in order to gamble. So if there is a group of people who doesn't like the bitcoins, it does not necessary mean that they will  dislike and discourage gambling also.

Generally I will suggest that we should not disclose our gambling habits and our gambling day to day wins and loses to the people who don't like gambling at all because if you do that we will only get negative and bad comments about gambling and those people will think bad of us.

Only the people who themselves play gambling and involved in gambling will concerns about our losses and will appreciate our wins.

Maybe yes, if they are being surrounded by people who doesn't understand what bitcoin investment was, there's a chance that they will be discouraged, I'm not sure though if we can relate it to gambling as there are many gamblers who choose to hide their gambling activities to avoid being criticize as they are not willing to submit themselves to any confrontations.

Things that they just want to enjoy without any bad or any negative comments about how they are enjoying the game of gambling.
