Topic: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. - page 3. (Read 2625 times)

Easier said than done my friend, hiding or keeping excitement is not something that everyone can master especially when it has to do winning. And the truth like you said is that something after all the adrenaline rush, you get to discover that you have done some things or said some things that you ought not saying which to a wide range can result to many negative energy from people even the ones close to you

There are some folks that will hit it big in gambling and still endup getting themselves reckt , because of the urge of wanting more . Most reason why some folks usually stop gambling is whenever they endup getting themselves reckt like not having cash to gamble further. I know of someone that almost got addicted to gambling little by little, he could not stop his self it became a daily activity to him until endup in a point of not having any cash to gamble further. That's when he was able to stop . But now  he always stay our of anything concerning gambling.

There is some truth to this, however the reality is that a gambler doesn't really need any excuse to dive back in. Someone who has formed a habit will keep on going until they hit rock bottom and finally set themselves free. It takes that moment of personal realization before they can take back control again. Everything up to that point is just a sequence of bad decisions. It's perfectly possible to gamble in moderation and find it a fun form of entertainment, however when you think you're going to strike it big and suddenly win millions of dollars to completely change your life - your goals are warped out of proportion. Either that or addicts are chasing losses, when they really need to let them go and think about the future instead.

It is just part of the human nature to share moments of joy with others. My major concern is not about  what such exciting news will do to other gamblers, but I am mostly concerned about the security of the gambler who had just won a substantial amount.

I have heard of  and seen cases where gamblers who were jubilating just few minutes ago over their their big wins suddenly end up broke because they were either robbed, scammed or blackmailed into spending their money on things that were not neccessary.

There is nothing wrong in getting excited over every win, but gamblers need to be security conscious when celebrating their wins. Not everyone is truly happy with people's success.

And we do know that privacy is the outmost concern yet this one will really be that in connection with your safety or security on which we know that this is something crucial and not something that you could easily exposed with. Yes its true that the key on here is on how you do have such control not only into your emotions but also into the things that you do have in mind. Somehow there would really be some potential lapses since we are really just that humans on which there would really be that likely on having those kind of showing up some reactions which might be that exposed to people around. Its true that people would really be that only mindful on the time or moment that they will really be experiencing some issue in regarding privacy. We do know that there would really be those criminals who would really be just that lurking in the shadows
and just waiting up on the opportunity to attack on the time or moment that they will really be seeing those hints and clues which came from other people. This is why its important that you should really be a discrete
type of person. Its not bad to make out some reactions but it will really be better that you shouldnt really be that making it as obvous as possible.

Yeah! human nature seem to be  doing the opposite or tends to do the opposite most times but all you need is control. It's simple, once you have a win in gambling, the excitement from that win triggers you to do so many irrational things that later you might be wondering how did I even made mention of this and that... but it can be controlled nmw, you(not basically you though  ) 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

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.

People would really be that only mindful about privacy on the moment that they would really be having that bad experience just because of exposing too much out of these informations on which these things should be supposedly to be private on which it is indeed true that its not bad to show off some happy reaction but speaking up too much about on how much you do won or something then there's high chance that you will really be facing up some potential stealing up with funds specially if this one is really done physically or even still have chance about getting hacked when online.  When you do win up in gambling
then it will really be that undersdable that you cant be able to avoid such kind of boost up when it comes into your emotions but always be mindful about on things on which arent supposed to be shared up.

Absolutely correct,I totally agree with your contribution.Lately, I've noticed that a lot of people are deficient to good news and successful stories,and that's why some people have decided to safeguard their lives by maintaining privacy.

Privacy these days does not only imply to whereabouts or locations/residents e.t.c Privacy entails and comprises of your financial  life and how other personal informations are been transferred and handled by other people.
However, people that know how to keep their life intact and private knows how to protect their sanity, safety and that's an overall form of self-care.
Keeping ones life private is a personal choice,even as it's not everybody that knows how this system works.Some people value their personal informations and space,which is why they prefer to maintain an independent life.

If you are saying this,then I guess it might  just be from a point of experience.If you have won in betting before,and some person did something about it that is not good,that looks so bad,but that isn't the reason why when I will win big,I won't make my friends and people that used to play games with me won't hear,infact,the joy will make me jump up shouting to the hearing of everybody, because winning doesn't always come,it comes seldomly,it comes once in a blue moon,and when you have been lucky to be among the winning people,why won't one be happy,and a way of showing your happiness is by telling people.

I think you are correct but I will like to look at this thread in this aspect, let's assume after winning hugely from gamble and then you see some of your guys that's gambling, you know it's always hard to keep mouth shut when we win in gamble most person like sharing it as a kind of testimony so In the process of sharing the success story you never knew one of those person you are sharing the story with is a criminal or a kidnapper, I mean this is indirectly telling them to come and rob or kidnap you cause you have created an awareness and this how most persons are being robbed or kidnap just by sharing stuffs like this and later they will be asking who has done this to them not knowing it was what they have said.

Even if it's not about criminals or having security concerns, some people might not be genuinely happy about you winning in gambling even if they act like they are happy for you, and such people can have an evil eye on your luck and you will start losing from that point onwards. So, it's definitely not recommended to share your winnings in gambling with others even if you think they are very close to you because you can't trust anyone these days.

Another reason to not do that is, that some people who come to know that you have won a significant amount in gambling might start asking for money. I'm not kidding, some will ask for loans and stuff and some would even ask for treats and stuff like family members, cousin friends, etc.

It's better we don't shows our money to them, especially wins money to many people to distract their minds from the bad things that they can do to us. We can tells them that we gets bonus from our job and we wants to celebrate it with them. We don't have to tells the truth to them and only tells that to those who we trusted to avoids many bad things that can happens. We don't knows what their reactions when they see we wins much money. Someone can becomes bad and doesn't like with what other people gets and they can do anything to gets that money so we must be careful when we wants tells our winning to people. When we can share something to them without telling about our winning, they will not thinks anything and even they thinks that we wins, that will be up to them.

Some people cannot keep secrets and whatever happens to them they tell everyone whether good or bad. Such gamblers will not be able to hide their wins from people because of their loud mouth. There are some other gamblers that think telling people about their win will make those people respect them, unknown to them that whoever will respect you will do it, even if you don't win anything.

I don't like sharing my financial life with people especially if I win big, I keep it a secret because I don't need anyone to know that such funds in in my possession for my own safety and freedom to mingle with people as usual without any side talks or evil plan.

Big wins are great. Its thrilling and confirmation you're a winner. But not everyone wants you to win. Some envy your success. Get greedy. They start treating you like a piggy bank. I know these types. With hands extended and sob tales ready, they'll emerge. They'll guilt and manipulate you for your pie. But remember, money and success are symbols of hard effort, smarts, and courage. Dont lose that.

Its not selfish. Protecting yourself, your future, your family. Celebrate with people who mattered before and after the great win. They deserve some of your delight. And the rest? Let their envy fester. Teach kids perseverance and hard effort. You've earned success honestly. Dont let others guilt you.

Sharing pain with others without having a solution means nothing, most often gamblers hardly share their losses with people, what's now the use of sharing the profits stories with others, it will only bring nothing from people than entitlement like your close family members and friends asking money from you and financial support, also probably from girlfriends who add nothing to you and some of your pals that will start to see you as the next ticket meal.

If you win a significant amount of money from gambling and you think it's worth sharing the success story with people, it should be from people that you know are not move by money even though it's from your families. Some of us do have jealous families like brothers/sisters who don't want their siblings to have something, some families even forbid their people from gambling, these people are the least to share your gambling profits news.

In fact, it is a matter of the individual's stance and ideology after hearing the story, especially not to scrutinize too much and show an unsympathetic look, understanding such factors, a story about gambling is just a tabloid information, which can be discussed and contributed to summarize mistakes and come up with a more correct ideology. Moreover, no matter how bad an experience is, there will still be points to overcome in the future, gambling does not block the escape routes we find, the truth is that we are blocking our thinking and our opportunities to return

        -   Not everyone who reads or knows about jackpot winners in gambling casinos appreciates the story of gambling winners in casinos. Yes, most people may think that the gambler got lucky in casino gambling. But not everyone is more motivated to gamble.

Let me give myself an example. I have read many times of people who got jackpots in gambling who suddenly got really rich, but even when that didn't cause me to continue gambling and become addicted to gambling, But all I'm thinking about is continuing with my usual gambling; that's all I'm doing, although I don't deny that it crossed my mind that I could win the jackpot or experience real luck in gambling, just like that.

This topic is something that has been discussed on this board like just a few months ago, but on that thread, the op focused more on talking about enemies who might end up wanting to hurt you for the suceess and so on, I did contribute there, but to be honest with you, I didnt even think along this line which you have mentioned here, which is about arousing an addicted gambler to want to continue gambling even after the addicted gambler had made a resolution to stop gambling.

Well, what I have to say to the above is that, temptation is real, and an addicted gambler who has made a resolution to stop gambling must be tempted after he or she have claimed to have quit gambling, it is through this temptation that he or she confirm within him or herself that he or she have finally grown a steel ball to stop gambling, or whether he or she still needs to go back and work on his will power, so as to be able to stand firm against such temptation not to fall for it.

What I am saying in essence is that, as much as it's really good for us to always be careful whom we share our personal experiences with, it is also hard or impossible for us to know who to be truthful to, and who not to tell the truth, and when we make the mistake of telling the wrong person the truth out of good will and intention, and that person end up doing what he or she is not supposed to, it's not our fault and we shouldn't be blamed.

I highly agree. I'd even argue that you should keep shit to yourself cause it doesn't bring you anything especially if you're not even sponsored by the casino you're playing in.

The thing is that this attracts negativity towards the people around you, when you post your winnings in social media, or when you start tattle-telling on yourself among families and friends. You tell them you're winning and they automatically think of you as someone they can rely upon when they are down on their luck and they need a few dollars. Some may even go to even more desperate lengths and go for abuse, crimes, gaslighting, and all that shit just so they can get some dollars out of you, all of which shitty things to subject yourself to.

So keep your mouth shut and gamble in silence, just let the people you trust the most about it so they can stop you when you go stupid and become a revenge gambler, otherwise don't go out of your way telling people that you're winning this much when you gamble, makes you look like a clown on the internet, attracts newbies who  think they can do the same thing as you, and bad actors who would wan to take advantage of you.
