Just better to mind your own business and don't feel bad when people see you on act that you're gambling. It is your money that you're gambling with and not theirs. That's the worry of other gamblers that have been protecting themselves and their image from other people. They think that it's going to degrade that reputation of theirs.

It is fine, no matter what people say about you being a gambler but you're not affecting their lives. There is nothing to be ashamed of unless you're an irresponsible gambler and that's what they see from you. That's the secret that you should be keeping but it won't be kept when people can see it from you.

You can't live off of the earnings from gambling unless you are the owner of the casino because the gambling business model doesn't work that way. Casinos are not created to give people the opportunity to live their lives from the winnings they provide because if that was possible, casinos would go bankrupt in no time and there would be no concept of gambling casinos other than P2P games where players gamble with each other and the winners keeps all the money.

Gambling is only for people to try their luck, and have some fun playing games and they might win something good sometime in between their gambling sessions. However, if they start looking at gambling as a source of income, they will start spending and losing a lot of money uselessly on it.

That's because people have seen the effects of gambling, so they generalize that every gambler is a gambling addict. They don't want to know whether things are different or the same because they only see the consequences. And it is true what your acquaintances said that when gambling, we must always have good self-control and limits in gambling so that we don't cross the limits and can still enjoy the gambling game. Maybe your friend is experienced in gambling so he gives tips like that. And if you don't want to listen to what people think about gambling, you don't have to tell them you're a gambler. This is to protect yourself from people's bad opinions about you.

Someone will find it if you give a hint about what you are doing and you are to hardcore playing at place where you can easily seen then expect that there are people who can catch you doing such activities. But if you think its fine then be it for sure no matter what happen only those people can understand you will give sympathy if they see you are doing bad on the activities you choose.

Of course, family is more important than anything else, because when our condition is at its worst, only family can help and embrace it, therefore there is no need to keep gambling habits a secret, especially from family.
The family can also control the financial system so that it is under control. But most of the gamblers definitely think that it's bad not to exclude their own family, therefore many gamblers keep it a secret because they don't want to be a burden among them. Many gamblers are uncontrolled when it comes to keeping their gambling habits a secret, and therefore don't keep anything a secret from their family so that The family can also control bad habits when gambling.

As I have said before the threat that comes with addictions is usually the tendency to also hide those from others, but while this is hardly possible with alcohol because you are wasted and can speak properly or move properly or other people can smell it, all of this is not a thing when someone suffers from a gambling addiction.

Even if that person would sell the car to have money to keep gambling, there could be dozens of excuses why that car was sold without admitting that there is an addiction involved. This is a very complicated issue and topic in general.

We all have secrets that only we know about. That's not what this is about at all. Family members are in most cases the first to notice changes in a person and can help to understand the problem before it grows from small to huge. That is why I believe that the closest people should know about your hobbies, at least about those related to risks and finances - trading, gambling. Of course, you should hide this information from underage children.

A group of gamblers having a chat will be no different to us in the gambling section. They'd be gambling among themselves just like the drug addicts in their support group where they share resources and where they could buy the stuff.

It will be a bad idea to mingle with gamblers when you want to be discreet with it. Rumors are the worst cause of argument at home, you best believe anything whispered in the meeting will hit your neighborhood and your family in less than a day.

Discussing gambling habits with people who also gamble can create a support system. Though, this doesnt always work. Why? Because, lets be real; gamblers often encourage each other to take risks, sometimes recklessly. So, transparency among gamblers isn't the holy grail.

Now, if you want to gamble healthily, focus on setting limits - time & money. Keep track. Document wins & losses; its more than just storytelling among friends, its financial hygiene. Also, entertain the idea of involving a third-party in the conversation, like a financial advisor or a psychologist specializing in addiction. They provide objectivity. Trust me, dont just rely on your gambling buddies to be your conscience; widen the net.

Well that's quite true, but strangely most people assume or generalize that every gambler is always in the same position, whether they are addicted or even those who gamble well by successfully applying a limit that they have prepared, as you say here.

That's right, the real answer is that not all gamblers are addicted, there are some of them who can always stop when they start to enter a bad condition, for example like losing, what even impressed me was that one of my acquaintances (a gambler) told me and said that always use self-control and limits when you are gambling, it is better to prevent something that is not desired does not always come. He said that and it's very good when fellow gamblers advise each other on something better for each other, it's hard to stop but with this you can at least minimize your losses a little. Well, it's best to keep your gambling habits a secret, even if you behave as a responsible gambler but still, in the eyes of other people, that's something bad.

That is why people hide their gambling from other people because they are not considered people who are addicted to gambling even though they can take care of themselves while gambling and can stop gambling on time. The people around him don't see that people who play gambling are not always addicted to gambling because they have good self-control compared to other gamblers. But this assumption will apply to everyone who gambles so that people who can control themselves when gambling will also be considered the same. So it is better for them to hide their gambling activities from other people to be calm when gambling and there is no negative talk about them.

Right because hiding gambling habits can affect gambling self-esteem relationships physical and mental health performance and social life. Many people lose control of their lives while gambling and their entire lives are filled with problems because of this behavior. It becomes a serious problem when they abandon all the important activities of life and seek only opportunities to gamble and immerse themselves in gambling causing unhappiness in the personal family and daily life of gamblers. Hence sharing with your family will bring peace of mind and control.

For me it's better to don't have any secrets to our loveones or let say to our family cause like what you said once a gambler have a secret to his family then there are many suspicious  movements from a gamblers and one of those are like what you said there are many loans in a bank. And we all know keeping more secrets lead us into an introvert people cause we don't need to expose more people cause once it happens then our secret will be expose too.

Root of the "keeping gambling in secret" problem is in a negative context of the word gambler. When we say gambler, many people visualise someone who is addicted, someone who will do everything for money, someone who is cheating while playing cards or table games and etc. All movies and books about gambling usually are connected with crime, mafia, dirty money and etc. That is why people try to hide their habit, hobby or passion from others. They simply dont want to feel uncomfortable.

Look, there are various reasons for every gambler to keep their gambling habits or activities a secret. there are those who obviously don't want to be known because it affects their reputation, there are also those who deliberately keep it a secret so their families don't know, assuming to avoid a negative perspective. there are also, who keep it a secret for their own convenience when conducting gambling sessions. that is, a person does not want to be disturbed when carrying out their gambling activities.
the point is, there are various reasons for everyone why they keep it. Most importantly, there is no problem with this, let alone not disturbing other parties. Whether the matter is finally discovered or not is another matter.

For example, I tend to do gambling activities more when I'm alone. I mean, I don't want to disturb my peace by being connected to other things around us. for example, I keep my kids in the dark about what I do. because, this game is only intended for people who are adults. Apart from that, I really like having my own time to do research and analysis if you want to bet on football. point is, it all comes back to every gambler. Regarding the problem of addiction or anything like that, aren't we very aware of all the risks, so, for me there is nothing important to be questioned. except, in different cases.

Of course, this is not the solution to the problem of gambling addiction, but it is the first step to solve it, because if a gambler hides from the closest people that he plays gambling, they obviously can not understand why at some point he changed, began to sleep poorly, eat, stopped going to work, has several loans in banks that can not pay, etc. and help him find a way out of the situation. Hiding from his closest people addiction gambler remains alone with the problem, and as we know one is very hard to achieve success in any case.

You can keep your gambling lifestyle a secret but it now depends on how the condition is with your gambling experience that will warrant for such or not, you can believe me that not every gambler is an addicted gambler and in case of those that are addicted, i believe it's their own decision and not that gambling or the gambling platforms impose that on them, even when the addicted gambler make his lifestyle public, it doesn't change anything about him than exposing himself to others of his weakness, that's not the solution to addiction.

It does matter for some people who want to keep it as a secret because there must be a great reason why some people keep it as a secret which mean that they will try to hide it with the best effort. Even if some people spend a lot of time on it, people may not find it because once people want to keep something as secret then they will not do something that may lead people to think about what they are doing. Especially if those people are gambling in online casinos, it will be harder for others to know about it.

But does it really matter if you hide your gambling activities? For sure, someone will find it out or someone will notice it because you can't really hide it as you've been spending a lot of time on it, which the people around you noticed, so they can still find it out and even try to help you if they want, though the problem really is that if that gambler is willing to get help because they always deny that they are already addicted.

It is not good to keep your gambling habits a secret, especially if you are addicted to gambling because it can damage your mind. It cannot be denied that when you talk about your gambling habits, you will most likely be blamed if you lose, but when you win, some people definitely want to enjoy the results, therefore it is better to talk about gambling with people who gamble together so that if something goes wrong they can control themselves properly. OK, usually fellow gamblers are no longer a secret because when they win or lose, they always tell it so it doesn't become a burden.
