It is important to know that not all levels of society will consider gambling to be good activity and most think that gambling is bad activity because of the negative impacts it can have such as criminal acts of extortion or robbery and even many cases of depression.
But for us gambling is very fun and can provide satisfaction.

After all who here which gambler who wants his family or relatives to know about his gambling activities and just look at the many gamblers who really want anonymity in gambling.
From this we can conclude that gambling is still frightening thing if other people know about it.

Privacy. Yes, that's what they think by hiding their gambling activities from other people so they can enjoy gambling in peace and comfort.

They have reasons that they probably won't tell anyone else. But if it concerns regulations or legality in his country and gambling is prohibited, he doesn't need to gamble because it could impact him. He doesn't need to hide his gambling activities because he doesn't gamble.

But even so, some people will still hide their gambling activities even though gambling is prohibited in their country. He just wants to experience gambling, which is fine, but he should know that gambling is prohibited in his country. And he also has to be careful when gambling.

I think it's not about that they are not proud of what they are doing but maybe they just don't feel exposing themselves publicly with gambling or they just need some privacy. It could be that they have justifiable reasons why they did that. Common reason is of family related issues second one is the nature of the specific gambling or there is an issue about regulations or legality.

Situations where a partner reacts violently to a gambling problem can be very difficult indeed. Losing large amounts of money due to gambling can cause strain in relationships. It is important to seek emotional support in facing this problem together. Open communication and wisdom in managing financial issues collectively can help restore trust and build better solutions for the future. Support from an understanding partner can be the key to starting a successful recovery journey.

If you do tend to hide something from your wife or into your family but spending or expenses turns out to be that something obvious because you are already compromising too much funds or money then this is where suspicions do come from on which it is really that impossible for your wife not to be able to notice out that there's something wrong specially on the income source or flow knowing that if she knows on how much you do earn but giving only a few parts or portion then that would really be giving out that hints that there's something wrong. This is where observations and trying out to check out on what are the things that you've been dealing with and the worst they would really be throwing up accusations or assumptions which would really be related on having some mistress or something that you have been supporting which it do really
sucks to have those kind of issues to be thrown out.

This is why on the  time that you are really that making some secret dealings or behaviors or activities then as long you arent that compromising something then it should really be just fine
specially when it comes or talks with income then it would really be just that right but if we do speak about having those noticeable spending then expect
that sooner or later you would really be on such situation or condition.

Gambling still belongs to a higher level of responsibility than masturbation,  because we can have responsible gambler but we can have responsible masturbator,  and that make a lot of difference and sense to me at some level.

So I still can gamble in public like sports betting and also walk into any physical casino without feeling any recourse since I know that I gamble responsibly gambling only become shameful if you allow gambling to get you addicted but if you gamble moderately then you will have nothing to be ashamed of while gambling.

The after effect is what will be noticeable once the person got addicted, a questionable expense that will lead to an undeniable gambling activities, unless the person is good in balancing his finances and the time that he's spending inside gambling, keeping it as secret as possible is possible and it can be un-noticeable as they can control and they can continue to live as normal as possible while enjoying the gambling game or sports betting that they are involved.

Different kind people and different kind of behaviors, more on how they can handle in terms of gambling participations and money managements.

In fact, people have been looking at this game of gambling in our country since ancient times. No matter how much people call gambling good, gambling will never be accepted as good in our country. But there are various reasons for this as we have seen in our region people who are addicted to gambling have led their lives very badly. A gambling addict can never make the family happy, he always keeps the family unhappy. Seeing his family in such trouble, many people feel bad and from this bad feeling, a hatred towards gamblers is created among people. No one wants to be married to a gambling addict in our country and is not allowed to be from a family. For this reason, those who are forced to participate in gambling have to participate in keeping this gambling a secret.

Someone who hides his gambling habit must have a reason. We can't know the reason if we don't ask and can only guess. There are many possibilities why he did it. Meanwhile, there are still many of us who also hide our gambling habits.

The important thing is that he knows what he is doing. And hopefully, he is a responsible gambler because no one knows if he has become a gambling addict.

For a fact, the manner at which addicted gamblers publicly display very poor and disgusting lifestyles has made many people to desist themselves from gambling and that's why a whole lot of people can't just allow their gambling activities to be known by the public so people don't view them the same way they view gambling addicts.
Gambling is not a bad vice if one can control his gambling habits and carefully know how best to gamble but is considered as a very bad engagement if the person is potentially gonna end up as an addict because of his careless ways of gambling

Addicted gamblers have really made most people in society think gambling is a bad activity. That's why some gamblers decide to make their gambling activities private. It's annoying when you are in a community and people start seeing you as a bad person. You won’t really be comfortable, and people will even stop associating themselves with the person because they will think you are also like addicted gamblers that do crazy things just to get money to gamble. They don’t know that responsible gamblers don’t involve themselves in criminal activities, take loan to gamble or sell properties just to get money to gamble.

If I go to play roulette, then for fun I will specially call my wife to the computer to watch. There is no need to hide it, because all that we subconsciously want to hide is bad deeds, and we understand that they are like that. It is necessary to conduct in all respects the most open policy with dear people. After all, we are important to them, and even if we cannot help ourselves, our own people will always do it. Therefore, the imported gamblers are often forcibly treated. This is also done because they do not want to lose a loved one.

Lol guys, you equaled gambling to masturbation, as both must be kept in secret Gambling is from 18+. Gambler is a grown up man already and can do whatever he wants. It is not necessary to keep it all in secret.

That's true and only ourselves can trigger to stop any addiction because other people's encouragement will never touch on a deep psychological level, if we ourselves don't try to stop. I witnessed someone close to me who was addicted to gambling and drugs, but fortunately he was able to be cured in rehabilitation. Keeping yourself away from environments that trigger gambling is also good, but if you still have internet access then it will be difficult to control it.

You could say he got a rare wife because if that happened to us, maybe now, who knows what his condition would be like? I never tell my wife about the gambling I do and usually I will gamble when I have more budget after meeting other needs. Until recently there was no room for me to mention involvement in gambling to the family, even though it wasn't an addiction as I was worried they would think too much about it.

The need for people to feel shy over what should concern only them still baffles me. If I go gambling and spend money that doesn't give me profit, I will just see it as normal and try next time. i don't really care what the religion says after I have finished playing the game as that consideration was not given before the game was played.

People should learn how to be responsibile and self-condifient in what they do by themselves.

That's a sad truth, I've watched a lot of them win the lottery and garner a lot of money through their luck and jackpot. But many of them weren't prepared to retain their wealth so they have spent it like a one day millionaire and that's how they did it until they're all busted. If I'm the one of those winners, I'll definitely reinvest it and will let it work for me just like what the wealthy people are saying and will live a decent life without having much pressure. But lacking of financial literacy really beats a person no matter how rich they are.

The first step if they're unsure of what shall happen to them by having lots of money is to avail a financial literacy education or schooling. It won't take them much but that's the first thing they can provide for themselves so they can manage their money properly and they won't be empty quickly just like how the first winners did. Forget about having vacations, you can delay that and prioritize first on how you're going to be knowledgeable in handling your money.

It's similar for any addiction, not just gambling. We can only truly conquer it ourselves. It helps to distance ourselves from the environments that fuel the addiction. Going to a rehab center is also a valuable option.
You're fortunate to have such a compassionate and understanding wife. Many spouses, upon discovering such issues, tend to react strongly, often issuing ultimatums. This is especially true when a significant amount of money has been lost to gambling, leaving little room for negotiation.

it all depends on each person's thoughts, if you feel that you are able to control your emotions and control yourself when gambling, of course it doesn't matter to your wife if you know this, but not everyone has the same characteristics as you, I also have a wife and my wife always support whatever I do as long as it is within reasonable limits. My wife always reminds me to always be open in everything because the key to a harmonious household is good communication without anything being kept secret, therefore I prefer to tell my wife if I want to do it gambling and my wife also knows that gambling is a bad thing. My wife is also worried about this, but if I continue to do it without my wife's knowledge, then this is a bad thing. It's better to tell it well so that the wife can understand and agree together, but with a note that I have to be able to control myself and not go beyond the limits and my wife can also control myself when I find it difficult to control myself alone, but that people thoughts are different and I don't mind whether people want to hide it or not because that everyone personal business.

Agree on this. Hiding your gambling activity from your family is a choice and there's nothing wrong about it as long as you know for yourself that you are a responsible gambler. But most of the time, people who hide their gambling habits are people who are addicted to it and the people who are impulsive gamblers. Remember that one of the signs of acquiring gambling addiction is isolating yourselves from other people, and hiding your gambling habit from your loved ones can be one of its manifestations.
Moreover, this can only result in two things, it’s either a positive or negative effect on you. Yes, it can be a positive implication because this is for privacy purposes and gambling can be a personal matter for someone and it is something that needs to be known by everyone. On the other hand, it can be a negative implication because keeping your gambling habit as a secret means that you will be most likely to develop addiction especially if you are fully aware that you are not a responsible gambler.

I want to know from what perspective the losses are obtained if the gambler keeps it a secret, wouldn't it be the case that hiding gambling could provide several benefits for the gambler himself. There are many families who will not let their children, husbands or relatives get involved in gambling, but they will never care if they have been warned but still carry out gambling activities as usual. After all, how do they control the flow of funds for each gambler because they always have a way of getting involved in gambling even though they no longer get the source of money from their family.

The only person who can control gambling is ourselves and other people only through encouragement. If they do not intend to stop gambling, this urge will also have no results, unless they are taken to a rehabilitation center to be treated mentally, psychologically or with extra care under supervision. That's the only way I know to cure addicted gamblers, because I have seen several people who finally managed to get out of gambling addiction through that method.
