The closest people will know that you gamble no matter how it will be hidden they must know it, now imagine gambling is almost everyone knows even though they never play for example.
There will be more people covering up their shame than saying that they are addicted, which is clear that they know how to do it, they just don't explain that they also have the same problem.

When it comes to physical habit, then almost everyone can see it, especially the people around you because the world is small and once someone sees you playing, that's it for you, you cannot take it back and the whole community will know about it and you on the other hand, no matter how careful you are, when you caught red-handed like that, it's all over and your secret is done. No one has ever been good at keeping it a secret unless you are playing in another city but once you get addicted, the symptoms will show and they will get curious to know the cause of it and eventually find it out.

We live in a society where people have different views about something and these views could be drawn based on different constituent like personal sentiment, religion, ideology and experience. And speaking of gamble there are those that view it as an irresponsible activity to embark on and whoever is into it is tag as irresponsible guy, for some it beyond being irresponsible but a sin something that is evil, while some others out of an ugly experience of a loved one that got ruined by it due to extreme addiction.

These factors has made a number of gamblers to keep their gambling habit a secret doing all they could not to let friends and family know they gamble. And it does seem like they ain't proud of what they're doing.

But why continue in what you're not proud of by keeping it secret cause maybe you're worried about what people may say, how their thoughts about your person might change. Or how you might loose ties with someone you hold dear to. And many other reasons that follows.

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

My life experience shows that not everything that happens in your life should be told to someone. There are things of a personal nature, and if you don’t want to talk about them, then that’s your own business. But there are some cases when you cannot remain silent about your passion for gambling, if, for example, a person gets married, then his spouse should know about such things, over time he will find out anyway, because God makes everything secret obvious, and this is a serious issue that can affect the entire family's well-being

There should really be a boundary or limitation on the things that you do have in life because not every detail and not every situation or happenings which needs to be shared up.
This is why we do have that called privacy thing in our lives on which its not something that you would be always sharing up with other people. Come to think that we do even have secrets that not been told
even inside the family members on which this is something that a secret that you are the only one knowing. In regarding about gambling then its true that the community would really be having that kind of
bad impressions towards gambling on which those people who are really that engaging into it would really be considered to be addicts. Some do care and some dont really care
at all since its their money that had been used then it would be a normal approach to have.

Whatever habits we do, of course the people closest to us will know about it and we can't hide it from them, yes of course everyone knows about gambling even if they don't play it and we won't be able to hide it and it would be better for us to gamble by limiting it. the bets we play so as not to have a bad impact on the people closest to us, of course each person will not reveal themselves to be addicted to gambling and they will continue to hide this habit so as not to disturb the people closest to them.

I don't think it will always be known especially if the gambler really keeps his gambling activities secret especially from the closest people such as family members especially if their environment strictly prohibits gambling activities, but it is a fact that over time they will eventually be found out by their families about their gambling activities, that's because over time the finances of a gambler will usually be disrupted especially if they are one of the irresponsible gamblers in the sense of always chasing victory or treating gambling in an excessive way.

True, gambling by applying limits along with applying management to budget allocations is a recommended approach and indeed this method is one way that we can slightly avoid bad possibilities which of course will not only harm ourselves but as you say that can also have a negative impact on the people around us, as much as possible we should be able to maintain and manage it properly.

It is difficult to ask for a helping hand when you hide from the closest people that you play gambling. It is not that hard to become a gambling addict. If you ask any gambling addict how he got into such a situation, it is very likely that he will either not admit that he has any problems, or will say that he does not understand how it happened.

There are really indeed people on which we are really that confident on telling them on the things that we are dealing with. Not all people would really be that too private when it comes to their lives specially
to their closest or loved ones on which there's no way that you could really be able to hide up something but of course everything should really be having that limitation because if you do keep on telling on everything
and when the time comes that quarrels would happen then these things could really be possibly be used against you and this is something that i dont like when you are really just that too open on the things
which it supposed to be private.

So it would really be that depending on you on how you would really be handling up yourself on such situation or condition since not all people would really be sharing up on the same mindset
when it comes to things that they are preferring on sharing up and the things that they do tend to be silent into.

That's true, in my opinion, physical casinos and online casinos are most likely the same way the games work or something else, but the difference is that in physical casinos there is a possibility that we can make new friends and also be able to socialize or see other people gambling with different amounts. as usual and many other things. with online casinos we only play individually, even though there are notifications that sometimes flash on the screen such as "(account name) has succeeded in getting a jackpot of this amount" which I often encounter when I do online casino gambling.

Sometimes I think online casinos are suitable for those who really like being alone or as you said, but there are also negatives with online casinos. With so many online casinos now, we can't tell which casinos are trustworthy and which are fraudulent, whereas to prove that a casino is trustworthy or the best, we have to try it first. However, for both of them, in my opinion, there are similarities in the need to keep gambling activities secret, whether in a physical casino or online, because there are people who don't like gambling and there could be conflict.

Yes, in fact things are very strong because nowadays there are so many casinos and all or most of them are very attractive and have so much attraction that sometimes anyone seems very interested, they want to have a good experience in the games, then in view of That, well, it is not so difficult, because fortunately we have here the forum the thread Ann of the main casinos and almost all the casinos that in some way because we have information about them, in the thread we know that things in the casinos They can go well or badly, but each of the many players within the forum has feedback of some kind in their thread, so this is enough for us not to worry so much, although with a glance we know that the best casinos are the oldest because It has a greater reputation and a greater degree of trust, that is enough for me.

Gambling does have its own strong appeal, so many people are interested in doing it, to the point that there are many cases circulating that are because they are interested in gambling but what they do is too excessive so it becomes a problem for themselves. However, this also happened because of their own fault for gambling unreasonably, so whether they like it or not, they have to accept it. Also, if they are like that, it means they are addicted to gambling and with this addiction, there are people who really enjoy showing off their gambling like the winnings they get at gambling.

Even though it's each individual's right, it's true that it's our own right, but at least we have to be able to see whether the things that are being exhibited are really good things or not, because in my opinion gambling is not a good thing, many people do too. who don't like gambling and if we show off our gambling activities there might be people who don't like it, and this could even trigger conflict. I myself keep the gambling I do a secret, including the winnings I get.

People who don't want to admit that there's already something wrong with how they are treating gambling, instead of asking for guidance or assistance they will deny and will not accept the truth behind their addictions, they will choose to hide and try to discreetly continue thier gambling participation and without the correct balance between finances and time they will suffer a lot.

The availability of online gambling platforms allows anyone to maintain privacy in gambling so that other people do not need to know the activities we do, especially in gambling.
Now the issue of gambling is not a taboo activity because there are many people involved in it even long before online gambling platforms started appearing on the internet. The issue of how they are involved in gambling depends on each individual, whether they are responsible or not, only they themselves can control it.

Depending from how a person learn and how he handles his gambling activities, there's always reason behind and it's a different perspectives and conceptualize in terms of a gamblers opinions., and in terms of keeping it as secret or discreet, there are reason behind
and a self-explanatory opinions that weight the reason they involve themselves into gambling.

You should seriously consider what you're doing if you're having to keep anything a secret really, as it can often lead to bigger problems down the line. Keeping a secret, at least in this context, implies that you find the activity to be shameful or you want to hide it from others. The only reason you are likely to want to do that is if you've lost money doing it or are struggling to control your habit. There's nothing wrong with losing a bit of cash on some entertainment and then being open with it to others, because that shows you knew the almost inevitable outcome of the situation. Frankly I live in a society where gambling is legal and wouldn't give a toss about the opinions of others if I decided to play a little with my hard earned money

Personally, I think that gambling or not everyone decides for himself, but to hide it, at least from your closest people is not the best solution. In addition, very often it turns out that the people around you know more about you than you imagine.

If you ask any gambling addict how he got into such a situation, it is very likely that he will either not admit that he has any problems, or will say that he does not understand how it happened.

Denial is one of the traits or should I say attributes that follows an addicted person, not all gamblers have the will power to admit that they are actually suffering from gambling problems and hiding a problem just makes it harder because the solution to the problem too will be far from coming. In all the times I have being with gambler who have such problems, I have come to realize that it's actually a common thing for such people but the only way to get to them is to act directly to the problem without you waiting for them to admit to the addiction issue.

Yes, I sometimes observed this with my friends who were addicts, they denied it, but in their eyes I saw this passion with which they were captured by the game. Of course, they didn’t want to say it directly, so that no one would think that they had problems with money and this is completely normal. During difficult periods for me in the game, I didn’t want to tell anyone about this, even the closest people, probably that’s my character. On the one hand, there is something normal about this, because I wanted to deal with it myself, and it’s good that I succeeded. But if I hadn’t succeeded and my problems would have become much stronger, I don’t know what would have happened to me then. Therefore, if we feel that we need help, it is better not to hesitate and tell us so that it is not a secret for others.

Different reasons. Lots of it.
Some are trying to hide it from their wives. Some from their parents. Some are too shy to tell other people that they gamble. Others do like to keep their privacy intact.
We cannot judge a gambler by what he is doing, there could be a deeper reason on why he is keeping it a secret.
IMO, I don't really care what people will talk about. They can gossip all they like until they lose their voices but I will still continue gambling and won't be shy about it.
I never kept it to my wife, she knows it and she also knows that I won't go far as being an addict. So why should I be ashamed outside while the people living in my roof already knew about it?

That's only natural, because everyone has their own perceptions and thoughts. Most people must have bad thoughts about gambling so it is not wrong to hide the gambling activities carried out. Because in my opinion it is also better to keep it a secret than to publish it, including the winnings too, if we get a win and publish it there are probably people who will not like it like our own friends.
There must be people talking about us from behind about what we do, because even in a friendship environment I am sure there are prejudices that our friends have against us, indeed they can comment until they run out of votes about what we do, but in my opinion if the gambling we do is not detrimental to others then just do it, I will also do it if it does not harm others.

There is nothing wrong with gambling if my gambling does not affect anyone else. Those who are professionals do not get affected by their gambling so they get success from gambling. Addicted gamblers can't keep everything a secret Gambling is a big challenge to deal with. Because there are some powerful controlling forces behind it which are not easy to control or eliminate.

I agree with you that we have our own ways and thoughts, therefore of course we will definitely not do everything the same. including gambling, there are those who like physical casinos and there are those who like online casinos, that's each individual's wish. What you say is correct, even though these two things have differences, the games tend to be the same, but now I think more people are playing online casinos, because you can do it anywhere you want as long as you have the facilities such as cellphones and the internet. but I don't know, maybe there are still many people who gamble at physical casinos.

with the existence of this online casino, many people gamble online because there are tempting advertisements, also with a low minimum deposit it can be reached by everyone, because in my opinion in online casinos there may be a certain limit on the deposit, and maybe it is quite high the amount.
Even though it doesn't work for you, if the casino wants it, there's probably no way to refuse it, because we're just players who can't change anything the casino sets.

Yes, things tend to be like this, of course each person has their own tastes, there are some gamblers who have a lot of money and do not leave their physical casinos, when you talk to them about online casinos they do not believe in them and they don't even play there for nothing. think that the gaming system is the same, but it differs in that a physical casino can make friends, you interact with people, it is another type of experience, so this is all we have to see, however when we are In a physical casino you must play and not stop, it is not like the Online casino that if Any event arises you stop and go and attend to that event and then continue playing in the same place where you left off.

The advantage of an online casino is that things are better because there are other types of freedoms, for the most introverted it is ideal, the bad thing is that now there are a series of requirements that no one finds pleasant, such as KYC , like that because if you don't comply with the KYC or you can withdraw money, that is something that is not healthy for some and that bothers, in the physical casino things are not like that, and obviously in an online casino people don't see you, there is something more privacy.

That's true, in my opinion, physical casinos and online casinos are most likely the same way the games work or something else, but the difference is that in physical casinos there is a possibility that we can make new friends and also be able to socialize or see other people gambling with different amounts. as usual and many other things. with online casinos we only play individually, even though there are notifications that sometimes flash on the screen such as "(account name) has succeeded in getting a jackpot of this amount" which I often encounter when I do online casino gambling.

Making gambling public can also affect the family. It will have a big impact especially on the children of the family. Because the child will try it with enthusiasm and become addicted to it And if gambling is not kept hidden, there are many other problems to face. And if there is a big win from gambling, that should be kept hidden, otherwise someone may be in danger for that too. Gambling is not a good habit so making it public will only cause problems and not bring anything good.

maybe it depends on the environment or the country, if that country allows gambling then maybe it is a normal thing, but I think that even if gambling is allowed in the country then addiction and bad impacts cannot be avoided and what you say is true then it can This has an impact on the family itself, where the main thing is that finances will become a mess and after that on relationships where there will often be conflict in a relationship and the worst part can trigger divorce, because there are also many cases of divorce or the breakdown of family relationships because of unstable finances, either because they don't have work or indeed because one of their family members is addicted to gambling.
I agree with you, gambling is not a good habit, therefore perhaps it is best to keep the gambling activities we do a secret even with the winnings we get, because everyone is of course sensitive when it comes to money if we get a big win and announce it, there could be gossip or conflict.

Indeed, one of the important things is the secrecy of the fact that you won the jackpot. But it seems that some establishments oblige you to undergo de-anonymization upon receipt in order to advertise more the name of their casino. Then all classmates, work colleagues and acquaintances will say that they knew this guy, and will think that luck is near them and will start playing. But if it came to the jackpot, then I think almost everyone would agree to take it, despite the fact that we were shown on TV.

It turns out to be a rather funny situation when people around us say that we shouldn’t play because playing is dangerous for the wallet, but as soon as we win the jackpot, everyone takes their words back, I saw something similar with my friends.

Of course as the popular saying goes, "success has so many families but poverty is an orphan", no one will want to associate with failure, but people deem to forget that it is from many steps of failure that success is achieved. It's left for the gambler in this case to gamble responsibly because eventually when a jackpot win comes along even his critic's will come back with a warm embrace to share in. We see that happening now and then.

It's a golden words about orphan poverty.

Gamblers, they are like that, they like to brag about their victories and keep quiet about their defeats. They tell you how they won a lot of money at the casino or at sports, but as soon as they lose every penny, they will immediately shut up. Apparently, they are ashamed to admit their failures. But it is from mistakes that you can learn!

Different reasons. Lots of it.
Some are trying to hide it from their wives. Some from their parents. Some are too shy to tell other people that they gamble. Others do like to keep their privacy intact.
We cannot judge a gambler by what he is doing, there could be a deeper reason on why he is keeping it a secret.
IMO, I don't really care what people will talk about. They can gossip all they like until they lose their voices but I will still continue gambling and won't be shy about it.
I never kept it to my wife, she knows it and she also knows that I won't go far as being an addict. So why should I be ashamed outside while the people living in my roof already knew about it?

That's only natural, because everyone has their own perceptions and thoughts. Most people must have bad thoughts about gambling so it is not wrong to hide the gambling activities carried out. Because in my opinion it is also better to keep it a secret than to publish it, including the winnings too, if we get a win and publish it there are probably people who will not like it like our own friends.
There must be people talking about us from behind about what we do, because even in a friendship environment I am sure there are prejudices that our friends have against us, indeed they can comment until they run out of votes about what we do, but in my opinion if the gambling we do is not detrimental to others then just do it, I will also do it if it does not harm others.

There is nothing wrong with gambling if my gambling does not affect anyone else. Those who are professionals do not get affected by their gambling so they get success from gambling. Addicted gamblers can't keep everything a secret Gambling is a big challenge to deal with. Because there are some powerful controlling forces behind it which are not easy to control or eliminate.

This is also my principle in life as well on which as long you arent that affecting someone then it would really be just that fine that you would really be doing gambling. It is really just that there are people who are really that too sensitive despite that other people doesnt really have to do on the things that you've been doing. It is really just that they dont really like that other people would really be having something to say on the things that they've been doing. This is why people wont really be that liking on letting other people knows on what they are doing. For me then it would really be just that fine that you would really be dealing or engaging with gambling since its your money then no one would really be having the rights on what you should gonna do.

Gambling is just that for fun, you would really be only get ashamed on the time that you had wrecked up yourself because of it because the inability on even just surviving yourself or having that food and shelter then this is where people would really be focusing into and having those negative thoughts and this is something that you would really be having the problem.
Secrets could be starting on the time that you have messed up yourself.

So far I havent seen any science proof that gambling raises addiction, but not human predisposition on being addicted on things. Replace addiction with something else, and those who were addicted to gambling will also be addicted to new thing. Give a person a way to get money quickly and easy, and he will get addicted to that method. If people will get rewarded for every word or book they have read for example, they will get addicted to reading. What then, we would all suggest to keep reading in secret?

This is human nature that if you do anything in excess and you are interested in it, it will become an addiction. Some addictions may be good but most of the addictions are bad and gambling addiction is a worse thing as a gambling addict will keep on spending and losing money in gambling and hence it will just create more and more problems for him.

This is same that a person who is involved in drugs and we advise him to keep on taking drugs but secretly Cheesy

Doing a bad thing or developing a habit that is not good for oneself will harm you no matter if you do it openly or hiddenly. A person gambling hiddenly still loses money and it won't remain a hidden fact that he lost in gambling. Eventually his family friends will come to know that he is a gambling addict.

Ok, here is the deal. I am having a habit of depositing 10-30 bucks per week to a casino to place some bets on UFC events. I like watching fights, I think I am good at predicting results, a bet makes my watching more exciting.

For most users here, I am addicted to gambling, because I place bets regularly. For most users here I require treatment from gambling "because it is bad". For most users here I am bad, because my kid see violence on tv (two guys fighting), and I am double evil, because my kid can notice (actually noticed already) that I was tapping something on my mobile (asked what is it, I have explained that I am placing a bet).

Look how bad I am for society. I gamble openly and do in front of kids. Call the police (Whoop whoop, sound of da police). Because I have already spoiled kids life (100000% kids get addicted to gambling now). Because I have already ruined family (people in this forum think that I am spending all my money on gambling).
