Topic: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. - page 28. (Read 8311 times)

If you that way or I mean if you feel that way then better not to share it, I get your point about those annoying wisdom as people around you thinks that you are already addicted and you are just wasting time and your money while playing/betting. I think if you feel the comfort not sharing your gambling habit, then do the usual routine.

keep it and enjoy though better to assure yourself that you have that good limitation and keep that focus to stay away from heavy engagements.

I always try to keep my gambling activities secret. Because I know that if anyone finds out about my gambling, I have no chance of profiting but more likely to lose. Because there are some people who may constantly give advice or may feel annoyed by their words. And for some reason my normal gambling behavior may also be affected. So I don't want anyone to know about my gambling. I believe there is a tendency among all gamblers who do not want to share their gambling habits with anyone. I think as a prudent gambler every one should do it.

That is something different from the way people think, for example, as I have said on many occasions, for me, a person who earns a lot of money, the first thing they think about is how to multiply it, and not spend it, because even though $1 Yes, you can spend even on things that are very unnecessary, something that should not be done, when a person is like this with all that money, the best thing you can do is if you do not have a high financial education, look for a financial advisor so that you can directing it as you can diversifies that money without losing value, where the first thing I would do would be to buy Bitcoin right now, everything I can, after that, if I can think of making some investment, if I have no place to live I would buy a cheap house, not so expensive, a good car if I don't have it, but not the one from last year, and that is already something of a good advance. Hey, the money is being seen there, of course when a person has this kind of money, it is obvious that sometimes it is very difficult for it to go unnoticed, because most people can see and notice the changes.

In this order of ideas, we must always learn something, that our love life, our financial life, we must always keep secret so as not to arouse envy or possibly bad energy that later transform into theft or something like that, because the mapru of people one believes They are nice, but no, many suffer from envy, many do not like that others are doing well, and there have been cases where the very family is capable of harming those who are doing well, that is something very classic and common, however I would think very well about how to do so that he does not have that large problem of having to deal with people, if the person in question is very active on social networks, it is recommended that he always publish memes, stupid things, so that Even if others believe that that person is stupid and is not doing well, that is a great tactician.

Maybe people keep their gambling activities a secret because in their environment gambling is considered negative so they hide their gambling activities from other people. In my country, gambling is illegal and is considered negative by society, so many people hide their gambling activities

Hiding gambling activities is not difficult because nowadays many people gamble online so they can gamble in private places. One thing that may be difficult to cover is if he has lost a lot of money gambling and starts looking everywhere for loans

There are people who are introverts on which they would really be that doesnt like on showing on the things that they are dealing with specially with gambling which we do really know that the community is really that highly frowned upon which they dont really like for them for other people to make out some bad impressions towards them and this is why they would decide to keep it secret.
How much more on telling or showing it into their wives? For sure it wont really be that something that they could easily be telling it because we know on how risky it would be
because if someone is involved with gambling then finances is really that at risks.

For people who dont care whether on their wives or other people insights or impressions towards them because its their money that had been used then
its not their business on what they should gonna do with their money because its our right on what we would really be dealing with because its our money
not theirs.

An option that the gambler will handle whether he will allow someone to know about his gambling activities or to secretly enjoy his participation, though there are people who wouldn't like to broadcast their participation and they will not allow anyone to learn about their gambling activities, people who don't like hearing any criticism of how they are enjoying.

Just the same with your statement, it's your money that you are using to gamble. It's your option if you want to share your gambling activities.

A friend of mine was in a lot of trouble because of his gambling addiction and he told us this when he was in the last stage.

When he won, he was generous enough to buy us something, but he didn't say anything about the source of the money. When he was losing, he would ask us to lend him money, but also he asked us to keep it secret. As I mentioned he told us when he was in the last stage because his parents about to learn his addiction and debts. He didn't care the debts but if his parents find out everything would be damned for him. In short, he was ashamed his behaviour.

Shame is one of the main reasons. In my country, if a child says to his parents, "I won this money from gambling," there will be Oscar-worthy scenes in that house. Because moral norms are shaped in such a way that gambling is a sin and will end badly. That's why you can't see the faces of most of the broadcasters who broadcast gambling in my country

People no longer have to worry about what others would think of their gambling habits. Nowadays, people are less concerned with what other people might think of their gambling habits. Both the young and old are actively participating in it, without considering it to be sinful or reserved for those who act irresponsibly.

People now understand that gambling is a common habit that both young and old people indulge in to make cool money without stress.

Privacy is actually a thing of choice, because the same way we so much value this privacy while gambling for personal reasons, also it's occuring in some gamblers mind that they need to let other people know that they are gamblers, what they worth and how they have been gambling over years, this may actually means alot to them because they don't mind about their privacy if they are missing anything or anything wrong with what they are doing, what matters to us don't really matters to others.

Agreed, we live in a  society that expect you to reveal everything about you without keeping anything for yourself, and if some people want to live their life that way, they are free to do it, but there are also many people that do not agree with this vision and they will prefer to be more reserved when it comes to the information they let others know, now this could bring you its own set of issues as then people will think that you are too guarded towards them, but that is price that seems fair to pay for those that value their privacy over anything else.

It's basically not what they think or do, it's what others think and say that concerns them the most. People gamble by themselves and by their own will, but if they know that people around them don't see gambling as something good, maybe it's against their religion, or maybe it's against their culture, or maybe people who gamble are considered lazy or irresponsible in their society, these are the things that would make a person think of hiding their gambling activities.

If those aren't the reasons, I don't see why one would hide their gambling activities if the money they are spending is their own and there is no one to question them about the money they are spending on gambling or say anything to them or disrespect them just for the fact that they are a gambler.

People have different reasons a for doing what they do. And if I decide to keep to myself the fact that I gamble doesn’t mean I’m not proud or ashamed about it. I just choose not to tell anyone.
Some people value their privacy and don’t see the point in telling anyone else about what they do with their time and money. It’s that simple.
What does it matter if someone decides to keep their habits a secret? It really shouldn’t concern anyone what someone else chooses to do with their time and money.

Perhaps they are not professionals who can hide their gambling activities from other people, but they are just ordinary gamblers who still don't tell other people that they are still gambling secretly. And if they have strong and good self-control, they don't need to worry about problems that might arise while they gamble because they can handle them well. They can also divide their time between gambling and other activities so that people see they have a balanced life. There is nothing bad about gambling, and it depends on the gambler because if they have the necessary things to keep them sober, they can enjoy gambling secretly.

This next effect can make them addicted, especially if they cannot manage their expenses used for gambling. And this will make other people suspicious of his spending, and maybe they will check his bank account to find out more about the use of his funds. But if gamblers can manage their expenses well, they will not encounter any difficulties, and in fact, they will always stay within their limits when gambling and never violate them because they know what the impact is.

Indeed, different people's behavior will be different. So this also depends on each gambler who hides his gambling activities from other people. Some people can't manage it well, and others can do it well.

I agree that gambling habits are something that is not to be brag about or announced to other people because, in local norms, the word "gambling" has a negative impact. Gambling will only lead you to misery; you will become addicted, lose money, and become poor. As such, people tend to judge someone who gambles, even if it's your own family. Well, they are not to blame; we can't pleass with other people and force them to accept us gamblers. That's why I choose to keep my hobby to myself. It's not that I'm not proud of myself or shamed because of my hobby; it's just that I want to protect my reputation and don't let other people judge me as I know I don't deserve it. Well,  I choose to do gambling, and I guess I need to accept that, but gambling for me is not a thing to be proud of.

You're not getting it mate. Hiding a bad gambling habit is absolutely different from hiding your gambling activity because you don't want family or friends to know you're a gambler. The purpose for hiding it is what makes the difference: you are hitting on hiding a bad gambling habit while the I emphasized on was about hiding from people close to you the knowledge about you being a gambler because they might not be I'm support of gambling and that you're hiding it as a bad habit you are battling with.

I am not discrediting the fact that humans don't have control in all domains of life, at least they have control and proficiency in parts like you indicated. And for anyone that's good at hiding his gambling addiction and together have control over his habit he can't blend into addiction. Mind you, gambling do addiction affects both those that chose to hide or make known about their gambling activity if theirs a lack of self-control.

I can share that I have placed a bet or gambled and lost some bucks with my wife and family, and no one would judge me. As same as I wont judge anyone for spending money monthly or weekly on manicure or spending all the money on candies or toys. It is not like I am a tyrant or "My house my rules", but I respect other people's interests, hobby, habit, vision and I don’t interfere with my opinion. If someone is to judge me for gambling, then I would pretend to be deaf, as I gamble with my own money and their opinion should stay with them.

Yeah every individual has there reason why they keep there gambling habits a secret because there are some people who dislike and sees it as an irresponsible game however despising anyone they see gambling, so this is one of the reasons why most people always keep there gambling habits a secret.

But however we can only share our gambling habits among our fellow gamblers because you both are doing the same thing so there would be no discrimination and could even help the both of you to share experiences that could help each other on your gambling habits.

So keeping our gambling habits a secret is totally depends on the environment you are, because is obvious that many people see gamblers as a jobless people who doesn't want to make there life meaningful one, so with that kind of environment keeping your gambling a secret will be the best.

There are various reasons why people keep some of the things they do as secret. Do to the risky nature of gambling, a lot of people feel uncomfortable about it and see people that gamble as irresponsible.  I'm sure no one wants to appear irresponsible to some people who might not say it before you but will keep it in their heart.

There is also the aspect of security.  If you are an active gambler, you need some secrecy incase there is a huge win, you don't have to put yourself in danger. It is evidently important one keep his gambling business a secret to the entire public.

Apart from the submissions you tendered, it's also important for loved ones to know what you do with your money and what you're expecting, let's say gambling is an investment and you're expecting your rewards(win) and prior to that time, you fall ill and maybe you are unconscious and your reward claims has a time limit, if you don't have a loved one that's aware of it, you can kiss the reward goodbye.

No one is happy when they lose bets conspicuously and there are times when you will need people or someone to talk to about your gambling lifestyle, people you can trust to give you good advice not people that you will tell and they begin to mock you and even tell you that so you've been lavishing your money on gambling that's why you haven't been doing anything tangible with your money. You tell people that will analyze the benefits and the disadvantages of being addicted to gambling to you.

Most gamblers tends to be addicted to gambling not because they actually want to recover money they've lost but because they see it as the easiest way to make money so I don't think it is advisable to keep one's gambling habits a secret because there are times when you will be so sad after losing a bet so it requires you to talk to someone to give you advice and courage on the need for you not to be emotionally attached to gambling.
