Topic: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. - page 57. (Read 8311 times)

Am very sure that part of the causes of addiction is when living a quite and private lifestyle of a gambler, but Immediately the gambler sees that things have gone out of hands, they tends to voice out for help towards their addiction, there must also be a good and expected perfect gambling experience we should live as gamblers we shouldn't take the advantage of privacy to our own negative influence which may affect us because we abused the privilege in privacy to get us addicted, we must play with caution.

The thing is that only when men achieve a certain success they can then show unafraid of consequences that they do gamble and show that publicly.I know a lot of men though,who happen to be my colleagues and I know they gamble but I am only one of the few people who know as we gamble together yet in society they never show it,they don't go to big casinos in the city and they prefer to play online,we sometimes share our sport bet ideas.In most cases when people are not successful there is nothing to show off and they keep their gambling habit as a secret.

It's not the wrong one,you just want to keep the secret of gambling is your opinion for the privacy.But you should be careful with the money you are using for the gambling,because you should not use the black money to keep them secret.Because the black money in the gambling is never accepted one,it's strongly against many of the gambling sites.Not all the people get addicted to the gambling,only few people try to get money return from the gambling and once they get some loss.Loss and profit from the gambling is common in the gambling.But people get worry on loss and get over excited on the small profit.But being neutral at all the situation is the most important one.

People who are too fanatical about their religion are always like that, think negative things are too much, like you say that casinos are called devils or even places that will take players straight to hell. Even though they are not aware of their own mistakes, playing in gambling games that look normal, but they do it.
Finding people like this really has to stop arguing because we won't win with arguments that they always associate with religion.
I often encounter some fanatical people who don't even give a good solution and even keep cursing me when playing a gambling game.

Well, it's not totally a secret but I don't prefer to be vocal about it as well and I don't even care about my image in the society because my choices doesn't involve them and I don't do anything in my life while thinking if it would please them because no matter what we do, people will always have a comment about us and that is a fact that we should face. I reckon that we can be more free if we show that we aren't affected as time will come that they will get tired of what they think or say as well.

I don't think keeping your gambling habit a secret is common. Is your argument based on personal experience? While it's possible that some people do this, I believe it's rare and unusual. Consider a study shared here previously: men tend to gamble to enhance their image in society. Therefore, based on this, we can initially assume that fewer people keep it a secret compared to those who want others to know they are gambling.

Most people will hide their gambling activities, especially if it is illegal because they don't want to be caught by the authorities. We can get into trouble if we gamble, but if we can play online gambling, we will still hide it because we don't want other people to know about our gambling habits. And it is true what you said that it depends on the conditions and situations in your environment because if your environment cannot accept a gambler, you will not show your gambling habit. But if your environment accepts gamblers, there's a good chance you'll show them that you gamble too.

I can only hide it when it's found illegal in my country. But it's legal and we're absolutely free to bet as much as you want, but always bet responsibly and staying far away from roubles. Gambling is a regular activities that functions in the country, so there's no need to be frightened by anything and I have a reputation to protect. Keeping my gambling habits a secret, perhaps it depends on the relationship you have with the people you're with. Most of my friends knows that often place wagers on games, mostly the same set of my peers that indulges in gambling.

Things might differ where you are and where he is. It's true that whoever says bad things is not living their life, but still, one has to care about what society says about him and what they think. It's not like someone is proud or not proud of what they are doing. It varies from place to place, a society from another society. For example, there is no problem if you drink with your family members in India.

When it comes to Bangladesh, most of the family never accept their family members to drink. There could be some exceptions. In this case, you cannot say stop drinking if you are not proud of drinking. You can say whatever you want. But you are not there in their position.

I respect a lot when it comes to religions, culture or something like that, because one cannot get so involved in these things, because for some it is so delicate that it can mean that later those people suffer making many sacrifices, and that is not the idea. , I have seen many things regarding religions, especially those people that I call fanatics, I have come across many of them in life, and they say a number of things when you tell them or talk about the casino, sports betting , a lady the other day told me that this was demonic, and I oh please but why do you say that? She told me that the devil likes those things that people do, and I told her, well, I don't see it that way, I didn't argue with her much because she was an older person, so sometimes these types of people make a lot of comments, they form gossip and only for that reason it can reach the ears of people who like to take what belongs to others (thieves) so only for that reason sometimes it is better to be silent.

Now, in my normal, ordinary life like that of others, I always talk to my friends about bitcoin, I talk to them about casinos, I give them advice and some of them are very interested, in fact I also talk to them about the forum, but because they don't know much about the economy, gambling, bitcoin, crypto, well they don't dare to enter because it scares them, that is something that happens to many, however when they are told about bitcoin and casinos, obviously it is money It means money and most of them are interested, only one of them differs well, he tells them, one of them that is bitcoin can also be used to save, for investment, to trade, also the same bitcoin can be used to play in lso casino, but he was told about the risks of casinos, that many things can happen if they do it well.

Besides, I give you the advice that has always made me win, which is to put money in a casino of what you are willing to lose, so that they do not get excited about winning or that they think that the money that is put in a casino is mandatory multiplies, but no.

Every religion has guidelines and rules and each person only has to choose whether to follow those guidelines or not. This is a personal matter that cannot be a reason to ban someone. You just need to work on yourself and just warn him that excessive gambling will not lead to anything good.
People who invite to gamble always have the advantage of everyone who is invited and joins the casino. back to the topic discussed, secrecy for gambling is everyone's choice. If you are happy to be said to be a gambler then that is not a problem, but if you want to keep it a secret, then you have to take care not to let other people know about gambling activities.

Well, I gamble online, and almost nobody knows that I gamble except for some of my internet friends whom I have never met. People in my country see gambling as bad because gambling addiction leads to doing wrong things. At least, this is what they think because we have seen many people sell their assets to gamble, and they end up losing them.

I gamble online, and I never share this with people in real life. The only exception is my brother who gambles as well, and he is unlikely to share it with anyone else. So, nobody knows that I gamble.

Not really sure how you can keep it a secret if you win big. I mean obviously if you have the money now then maybe you will buy something that people might think how the hell did you able to to that if you don't have the money? So there could be speculations that you might win big in casinos or lotteries. So very difficult to hide it in my opinion.

And when there is fire, then there is smoke. Of course you can play alone in your bedroom and not tell anyone. But what if you have friends and you tell them that you are gambling online and last night you win big? So for me, too difficult to not let anyone about your gambling activities.

People want to show their achievement so they keep celebrating and share to other people but is this ideal? For me not because you are exposing your self that you won a large amount of money and your life may be at risk because you know how people getting greedy and envy to the things they don't have. So ideal to keep it secret to make sure your safety and prevent people want to have part of your money.

But if we are addicted, it would be better to tell people close to us so they can help us overcome their gambling addiction. It's not good to hide your gambling addiction from others because you can fall deeper into gambling without being saved. But if we just play gambling like other gamblers and there are no significant problems, we can still hide our gambling activities, especially if in our environment we cannot accept the presence of a gambler in his environment. And the reasons indeed depend on each person and we cannot impose our reasons on others.

If you are not proud of what you are doing then why are you doing it? People have every right to say whatever they want, you aren't living on what they say, do not care and live your life, I am into gambling and I don't see need to tell anyone but even if they know I don't give a damn what they say after.

If you know what you are doing they won't be able to say that 'they are right' about one day, gamble responsibly so that they won't be able to shame you, I know someone who was a gambler, he never told anyone until he lost some money, that's where everyone living in same compound  as him start giving him some attitude.

He later moved out of that house, I did told him why he did that, either you are failing or winning keep it to yourselves, some people are already waiting for such an opportunity so that they can shame you.

Exactly. When it comes to gambling especially when we are winning huge amount of money, most people will keep it as a secret. I'm sure people who are lucky enough to win huge amount of money proud of what they get but they will not tell everyone about it. Just like huge lottery winners, they do not want to show themselves in public because of privacy and security reason. If OP win a huge amount of money from gambling and he keeps it as a secret because he cares about his own secureness, I will not call him as a man who is not proud of what he does/gets because I understand that it is his own right to do anything with his life.

I don't think the term proud is a good word for it here, because gambling is some form of entertainment that we are doing in our spare time. Do you tell anybody about your habits and what you like to do in your free time? Personally, I think those topics are more for friends and family and not with strangers or colleagues. For me gambling is something like going out to a bar or the movies in an evening, I would talk about it with strangers if the topic comes up. But I wouldn't talk about it freely by my own choosing. The question I would always ask myself is, what benefit does it give me to tell me colleagues at work, or strangers I meet on the street that I gamble? I don't really see any benefit, because they could either think I am a rich guy who made a lot of money in gambling and only wants to brag and show off. Or they could have a negative opinion about gambling and this affects how they see me. I would recommend anybody to be open and honest about your gambling habits with close friends and family members, but don't advertise freely about it. You never know what kind of consequences there could be in the future.

Well, there can be a lot of things that we don't share with everyone, we should know our priorities and it is us who should know what we do is right or wrong for us, and just because someone else says something is bad it doesn't really make that thing bad until or unless we have that same feeling ourselves. If I see that gambling is making me irresponsible, I'm not earning money or feeding my family, I spend all my time gambling and not doing anything else, that is when I should be worried about what others are saying, otherwise, let them say whatever they want to.

If someone gets mad at me or doesn't want to stay in touch only because I do something that I like and they don't like it then I'm totally okay with that. It's my life and I will live it my way, if you are not happy with that, it's not really my problem. That is how your attitude should be towards such people.
