Well I think the possibility that OP mentioned is true, or what he meant was telling someone else about a big win on the other hand could trigger a more impulsive gambling approach for the person who heard it, it is usually normal for people to get excited when they see that someone else is able to do it, so maybe they will think that "if someone else can, then why can't I", most likely they will try the same method as someone who told the big win, and of course it can worsen their financial situation when it turns out the results are not as expected.
However we must know and understand that in gambling something that works for someone else does not mean it will work for us, gambling is gray, still defeat is a possibility that will continue to lurk you. So I think it is better to hide the good news, it is better if only you yourself know about the win.

Talking about losses in gambling isn't recommendable too because it show how much money you can afford to lose, let's say you have a money management where you can only afford to lose 10% of your monthly income or 1% of your wealth, if your friends said they lose $500, now you know that they wealth might be around $50K.
There are cases where I could easily discuss my losses with friends and colleagues who are also gamblers like me.The reason is not because I'm proud of losing those dollars to gambling, but the reason is that I will also want to hear their story and if there are ways in which we can help each other to reduce how much we can lose and maintain a particular standard.

Sharing our experience with friends that are into gambling can help them too and also you to get experience from them. Some people think that they're the only ones losing when it comes to gambling but having to hear your own story can help them to not give up on gambling and keep trying. You won't know what your story can do to others but the only thing is that as you're sharing, you don't have to give out all details. Some information are best you reserved them and only share the less sensitive one.
Example, if you win $10k from gambling, you don't have to share them to everyone but your loses can be shared as they too can have something to tell you that if you listen, it can help reduces the way you're losing and also help you if it's because of addiction that you're losing that much

telling about defeat or victory may be common, but bringing certain factors, surely all gamblers will experience the same thing. for example, friends hear that we win in gambling, there will definitely be a feeling of envy towards us and must be understanding as friends because there will be a triggering thought factor. therefore I have experienced something similar now prefer to be silent whether winning or losing in gambling
I don't care much as I only show my wins in online replays like in Hacksaw gaming or Rabbig Garden and speaking of which why not make you guys a bit jealous with an over 2000x multiplier in the replay here https://fkivsk.hrqhregkxq.net/ssklNjhZjQ going to the final level and hitting a gold coin there. No one knows my real name or identity so anyone who maybe envious for such a win which by the way is with a very low bet about 0.04 dollars in total so I won near 90 dollars which good and should act as a trigger for people who want to emulate it. Of course in the real world it is better to not talk about your achievements as you don't know who you are talking to no matter if you may call them your friends it is better to stay silent.

I can't understand why anyone would need to tell anyone about your gambling, much less your wins and losses. Although most likely the only thing you will have to tell is about your big losses. If you get into debt and it affects your family, then talking and information about your losses is inevitable. As for winnings, the situation is different. Firstly, it is a very pleasant thing. Everyone likes to win, especially if the win is natural. And in most cases, you are not obliged to tell anyone anything. And unless you have won a large jackpot (and this is an extremely rare event), then most likely it will be easy for you to hide information about your winnings.
I would assume that why someone shows off that they have won in gambling or anything, it is based on someone being proud of themselves for winning, looking better, needing validation that they are feeling happy to be a winner, this is in line with the personality needs of some humans, yes there is no obligation and no one tells them to show off or tell but humans with the nature of validation needs will do it every time they find happiness, including winning in gambling, although there are also quite a few people who prefer to be closed in any case.Including about their defeat.
You are absolutely right about the psychological tricks behind gambling. Those flashy wins we see plastered across screens shape our ideas about scoring it big, while the many losses get swept under the rug and [...]
Do y'all feel these people don't know the intricacies in gambling but regardless, would wager everything on them to try securing a fortune? For anyone to pull out their hard-earned fund into a project, they must have seen some juicy benefits, but also, as usual - a large abyss and the odds of falling off is always on GREEN.We are sold an illusion.
I'm definitely not gonna assume this as an illusion per se; people have won severally through diverse varieties of casino games and you know about this... Yeah, we all know the tricks of the trade. And even though most folks know deep down its rarely that easy, people still cant resist trying their luck and who doesnt dream about striking it big? But throwing money around without knowing the risks is a dangerous game where the odds are usually stacked against the little guy.
I dont know why we keep falling for the same old tricks, time after time. Maybe its human nature to cling to hope instead of facing reality.

That is unless you say how you manage your money. Besides, some people despite saying that they have risk management never actually follow it anyway. Some people get too involved with gambling that lose all logic and sense. Plus, monthly income would not be the only thing to base our wealth off of. They can have savings and assets still. Quote
Telling your wins and losses to your children aren't good too because you're exposing them about your gambling activity.
Children should not be exposed to this kind of activities too early on in their life. Especially they still can’t grasp the concept of risks and consequences. Let children be children and don’t involve them with things only adults should be doing. 
Of course, we may not talk about our successes and luck in gambling, but human nature does the opposite, because when we lose, we will never want to tell anyone that we are losers, even our close friends. But if we suddenly get lucky, we will happily want to shout about it even to strangers, by the way, this contributes to the spread and publicity of gambling. Because of this, a random person will think "how am I worse than this fool who shouts about his luck" and will also try to win money in gambling.
In addition, do not forget that there are casino and gambling streamers, influencers in this area and they show how they win more than everyone else, because if they did not succeed, the streams would stop, although perhaps they have signed an agreement with the casino on financing from streams.
) just have to learn how to control it because it's could be risky exposing privacy.If you win keep it toyourself, if you loose keep it to yourself .... that's how you should roll
.thus, if your identity is complete anonymous you can do the opposite no one is gonna know the person behind the mask~~ Snip ~~

This is why one should gamble responsible and live healthy. If you win and you feel that there is someone you want to tell about it, that is up to you but not your kids.
This is not a written rule, but I think everyone can absorb the values contained in this attitude well. In addition, it would be better if the gambling activity was not told to the wife or other family, because in any case it will add pressure at some point. By regulating the amount of money and time you want to spend on gambling, I think gambling activities can be hidden more easily. Of course it all comes back to each person's point of view, but it must be remembered not to look for one pleasure to ruin other pleasures.
Every story you tell someone can either be a motivation or something to get them depressed. I have been thinking about this and I'd like to pass this advice to every serious gambler in this platform who has won a substantial amount of money from gambling, not to share their success story about winning to everyone and in every place. You do not know the story of every gambler, and on the face some gamblers may just look alright but in deep down they are in debt, some depressed due to addiction to gambling that is destroying them and has made them plan to quit. Your success story when shared indiscriminately may trigger and motivate this addicted gambler battling to stop to want to keep gambling, having the believe that their time is close. Be careful who and where you talk about your success in gambling, you may just be encouraging an addicted gambler to continue.
It is very rare for a winner to win a big jackpot immediately after starting gambling. But they never share their stories. They share their success stories who are deeply addicted to gambling and previously lost huge amount but suddenly won a good amount. Gambling is not a reputable activity so I don't think sharing its success stories is anything but foolish. Gambling is always better to keep hidden be it loss story or winning story. our Self-respect decreases when gambling is revealed. because gambling is bad habit on the eyes of society

You know I read a lot of news articles and news about people who were successful in gambling but later ended up in nothing because they didn't properly manage the large amount they won by playing gambling.
And if someone wins gambling, not everyone is inspired by it, and if there is someone who is inspired, they are often the ones who eventually become addicted, and if you or I win gambling, it is not right to tell others about it because it is not We know the thoughts of other people we talk to, so extra caution is needed.

Even if a person doesn't get motivated by this, it could be a threat for the person shouting and announcing that they got lucky in gambling. We have seen so many cases of people getting attacked for their Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies because they probably have disclosed that they have cryptocurrencies publicly somewhere and those who attacked them heard about it. So if an evil person hears you or comes to know that you have won something significant from gambling, you might become a target.The world we live is so full of crap that you can't even trust people who are close to you. This is the reason why I believe someone shouldn't even share such things with close ones only to stay safe. If you want to do something for someone, just do it and don't tell them where you got the money from because it's none of their business to know that.
there are indeed people who do have that bad intent into someone who do have won up something big or significant. You dont know on whose the people around you and it will really be just that too dumb for you to make out such action. Somehow it will really be that normal that you would really be having that kind of reaction but make it simple or something casual. There are really moments that we cant be able to control our emotions
on which on the time or moment that you've been on a winning situation then you will really be having that kind of reaction since we are just humans on which action this one is really normal.
Its not really that having that kind of too much reaction because it will really be putting yourself on such trouble and this is something that you must avoid no matter what. You dont know
on whose people around you and if you do really value your security then better be discrete and be silent when you are winning. It will really be giving out that kind of peace of mind.

It is about either venting ones grief or flexing ones winning to other to feel better about oneself, in my opinion. It is a very common thing to see in this modern society around us which encourage people to "be a winner".
For example, when you log on social media (specially Instagram) you will always encounter people having long trips, having luxurious dinners in high end restaurants, driving expensive cars and stuff like that, so collectively we are getting trained to grab about things we have (and even lie about what we have) in order for us to feel better than others and as a coping mechanism.
That translates to gambling, when people lose money, they do not jump onto social media and immediately let know everyone they have lost money to a casino, they stay silent and bite a bullet. On the other hand, when someone gets rich out of their own luck, they start to talk about it to their family members, to their friends and acquaintances, that is how society is training us.
Because,m in the end we do not fully know those people around us, some of them could develop jealousy against us, there is where most of the problems originate from.
there is a good reason some people believe money is that root of evil.
Aristotle, 2500 years ago, in his Nicomachean Ethics, spoked already of what you describe here.
For him, virtue is in balance, and in II, 7 there is a list of virtues, including TRUTH:
Quote
With regard to truth, then, the intermediate is a truthful sort of person and the mean may be called truthfulness, while the pretence which exaggerates is boastfulness and the person characterized by it a boaster, and that which understates is mock modesty and the person characterized by it mock-modest.
We usually talk about what we most often see, or what is more salient to us: the boasters. But I think that most of us don't brag about our winnings, either out of modesty or out of fear or security. The same happens with our Bitcoin hodlings: the general advice is not bragging about our savings, but we all know famous exceptions.
The case of the people who go so far as to invent their success, unless they make a profit from it (and even if they do it), I think it's pathological.
People tell their wins to brag to their friends to make them feel alright. They want the friends to congratulate them and feel intimidated by them. They tell their wins so their friends know how much they have. Their are people who hide their losses to look better like they do not lose when gambling. They claim to be very successful and only tell people their wins, this can be dangerous for them because then their friends can plan bad towards them. For me it is better I keep my wins private and only tell people that I know can keep it a secret which are my spouse or my children when I have them. Any other person do not have to know how much I have won but if we are talking about our losses, I can join them and tell them mine too. We have to be careful because people do not like to see others win but only them.
Talking about losses in gambling isn't recommendable too because it show how much money you can afford to lose, let's say you have a money management where you can only afford to lose 10% of your monthly income or 1% of your wealth, if your friends said they lose $500, now you know that they wealth might be around $50K.Telling your wins and losses to your children aren't good too because you're exposing them about your gambling activity.

If there are no success stories shared on gambling by the people we know, I don't think there will much involvement in gambling for most of us. For many of us, what made us start gambling today is because of the winning stories we heard from people we know that motivated us to start up gambling. That luck may shower on us to win the same way they did someday(that's the belief). However, many of us have been believing in that, and some have been lucky to have their own successful stories to share with friends. Some gamblers whose gambling has been dealt with financially are no longer moved by the successful stories they hear because they are unlucky for all that.
Success stories will always be different from the perspective of the listeners.
Yes, it can be positive or negative but if your purpose is to educate and inspire then just stay positive and your listener might still find a good lesson on your story. Though if the addicted gambler gets inspire to gamble more, i believe the problem is still with him and not yours anymore as your intention is clean and your purpose is positive.

Surely people actions and reactions are different individually either success stories or failures, the effects of the stories differs too to individually and the one you choose to give attention to also determines your actions and reactions as to that regards, people can still hear about your success stories and choose to make it a positive influence in them and the same is also applicable if chosen it to affect them negatively, my point is that there is nothing wrong sharing either your excitement or sadness and we shouldn't care much about who hears it or not because why it may not be useful to the other person it might be very useful to the next person. And sometimes sharing our stories has away of making us feel better irrespective of nature of the story.
