I really don't see why people have a problem with shyness in gambling, particularly on gambling websites where they can't even see you.

You need to be a lion when it comes to gambling, you are already up against the house edge, you need to turn the tides in your favor and be as aggressive as possible, particularly in social games. As shyness can often screw you over when it comes to betting for big pots.

You will not have a problem with "shame" if you gamble online, with online gambling, you can do it secretly, you can gamble without anyone knowing around you. But if you gamble to the casino directly, your neighbor sees you go to the casino, you can be embarrassed unless you are confident to gamble and do not listen to what people say.

Have you ever felt that you didn't play just because you were shy? I have felt this in casinos, and I just felt the pressure, but there's no need to be because everyone just minds their own business in gambling. Probably some people even pushed you to start gambling. I just thought about this because when I tried gambling for the first time in casinos, I don't know if it's okay to sit in tables whether the game is blackjack, poker, anything in the casino just so that I just felt shy because I'm a newbie.

Have you felt this way? I don't know if playing online casinos would have that effect also. What do you think?

Yeah,i feel its also bro,when first time i played in slot machine in casino,because i dont know how to operate or play this kind of gambling,and i thinks  everybody will laugh of me,when my cousin bring me to the casino and teach me how to gamble this way,otherwise in your perception that playing online casino would affect also your shyness,i thinks its a big no,because you have no personal apperance appear on them,when you play online games.

That's if you're talking about online gambling but if you go to Land Based casinos where you will face different people who you don't know, you don't want to make mistakes. I see your point. It's different when gambling online and you need to be the strongest that you can and possibly learn so much more with the mistakes that you have done and hopefully you could learn more strategies.
Yeah I agree with this. But you know the main issue isn’t that whether to go for casino that is land based or an online one. No, but the thing is don’t go in there. Either they are land based or online, both will be looting you. They will not leave anything with you until you are going in there. So friend, don’t just waste your life and your asset that you have earn so hard, think wisely.

Yes I actually had that exact same feeling before, I felt so shy gambling in casinos and I would even look out if I know someone who’s playing too so they wouldn’t see me. But that feeling of shyness eventually fade away as I grew older especially when my aunt bring me to casinos with her whenever she flies back here in our country. But on gambling casino sites, at first I was afraid to gamble but after my first attempt I wasn’t shy at all and I was thinking no one knows its me not unless I announce it on the chat box.
Maybe you really should not be gambling then, because since you are not proud of what you are doing to the extent that you do not want a fellow gambler to see you whether you know them or not, then why do it in the first place. Have you forgotten that the person you may know if present in a casino actually came there to have some fun gambling in the first place and you would rather both just accept your fate and see that you both share something in common without any form of being shy ?

I agree that you really would feel that if it's your first time or something. I think you become better with experience because the more exposed you are, you become less and less shy. Well it's very different when you are experienced versus when you are a first timer.
First time or whatever, the highest that would happen is to try to acclimatize yourself to the whole environment and since you probably may not have any friend around anyway, you may actually feel a little bit lonely but what the heck, everyone actually came to the casino to gambling and I would not even consider that as being shy.

The concern here is that most people do not actually understand what shy means, because if they do, they would know there is actually no reason for anyone to be shy in a casino unless they are just shy naturally and they do not do well with crowd.

I've experienced things like that, when we lose constantly, emotions are unstable and the money runs out, what happens is I get angry in public and be seen by everyone.
Then gambling is not for you buddy because you might get into  fight for being mad just because you lose in gambling. Or learn how to control your emotions and accept the fact that losing is part of the game.
Yeah! Exactly gambling is only for those people who are very much patient in their lives because in gambling one loses more than winning and this is only because of the lose concentration that one puts in gambling due to the fear of losing and If people like you will lose any of the game you play, you will like to commit a murder of other person who is opponent to you.

I'd love to catch a shy fish at a table, in poker this is pretty much a guaranteed felt scenario. The simple facts are, if you're shy don't play face-to-face games as you will get completely dominated. Your shyness will likely make you the weakest hand at the table, and will get you in situations you don't want to be in.

Well some professional gamblers always want to play with newbies in one table so they can win easily. Shyness in gambling is normal especially when you don't have much money to use for and you are not familiar on the casinos. Hope you find your friend to go with you so you can be guided on what to do and your money will not lose easily.
If a professional gambler always try to hunts down novices then he is the most pathetic of his kind. At least he should pick up an opponent with equal abilities and skills. What is the use of playing a game which outcomes are already decided? Most important of all, it is highly possible that the novice proves to be a lucky guy and he wins. This way, the experienced one would feel more shameful.

I think we don't have to feel shy when we are playing gambling and we can play gambling online in our room so no other people will know what we did. and this is what I do when I want to play gambling, I open the site in my room and playing the games and when somebody coming to my room, I can close the tab of the game and pretend I don't do anything except browsing only Grin
I think I can hide my activity in gambling games and so far, I can play gambling without anyone know.

That means you are afraid if your activity is known by others. Which means you will feel ashamed too if your secret is revealed. It applies to me as well. Gambling in my place has already got a bad name. So caught doing it will give a social effect which is very bad.

no, I am not afraid if my activity knows by others, but like you said, in my place, gambling gets a bad name too and I don't want my family member know if I am gambling. so far, I am playing without they know and even if finally they know, I will tell that I gamble is only for fun and not for the money and I don't use real money to gamble Grin

If the reason for you not gambling is because of your shyness, then might as well not gamble at all. Consider that as your blessing-in-disguise as once you have the guts of gambling, then you might continuously gamble on a daily-basis. On the other hand, like what he mentioned, if in your community gambling has created a stigma towards the people then might as well avoid it.

I think it depends on our purposes to play gambling and for me, I do not feel shyness or afraid if the others know I am playing gambling. I give some example by myself because playing gambling in my city is forbidden and thank you for VPN that could help me and the others so we can play gambling.

Actually people feels shyness due to fear. Fear somehow works and makes you feel shy. I don't know why people feels shy, I felt frightening as at first it wasn't legal in our country and local people taught me its bad. Like whenever someone plays card games, people assumes they are gambling, even if not. I felt frightening, but after the first game or may be second I felt free and played casually.
I agree with this a lot because that's what I experience especially if I meet someone who is really high above me or have a crush on. For me it's not a good thing to be shy but that's just natural I could learn how to communicate better if you practice.

feeling shy is natural and normal if we are meet someone for the first time and maybe needs time before we can communicate with the others. I have this experience in my past but now, I don't feel that I am shy to meet a new people.
Well yes I agree with this. This is natural behavior of humans that people always shy when they are meeting new people for the very first time. Slowly and gradually they become more mature and confident in their walks and talks. So, if same people are meeting after few meetups, there could be a normal conversation between them and no shyness can be spotted at that scene.

Shyness I always feel every time I join on the gambling table, but after the start of the 1-5 spin the atmosphere becomes liquid and makes me feel more calm in gambling. Shyness in the gambling table will be very disturbing for us to concentrate.
Shyness does indeed make not able to concentrate , i personally can't concentrate whenever people are watching what i'm doing , writing or any moves i'm making in general and it disturbs me to the point that i stop doing whatever i'm doing at that moment until they stop watching me and go away . I had to tel people to leave my side in 2 occasions , once in a casino where someone stood next to me to see how i was playing and one when i was having an exam and the controller came by my side to see what i was writing , it stressed me to the point that i wasn't able to think anymore and asked the person to go away in both occasions .

I think I know why you're behaving like you're, problem is you have unresolved issues that go deep within your gambling. There're past incidents that you're holding onto that's stopping you from being free. You need to sit down and ask yourself what is it that's holding me back, why I feel shy, did something in the past happen. Then slowly say I release these notions, nothing will happen to me, I won't feel shy. Repeat this for days and bam you'll never feel shy, it's easier said then done.
probably it's sometime when you were a kid or Something that affected your growth and your upbringing. I think there's no way to really fix that but you could limit yourself with what you don't really want to do and know what you really want because if you let yourself be pushed then probably they would continue pushing you until you break. it's not just applicable to gambling but also applicable to everyday lives.

Being shy and being a good gambler do not go hand in hand. 
Especially in card games of chance, you must possess the social skills to fit in at the tables.
Otherwise, you're best bet is to play online.
It may not go perfectly in hand, but a shy person can still play outdoors card games well and perfectly. What the person needs is to master and be perfect in their game. And moreover,  even if one is shy, when he/she start playing games and winning in it, the praise and hails from other players can lighten them up. And brings them out of their shell. So its interesting to say that no one is fully shy, you just have to know what lighten them up.

I really do not think so either. It is not like you are going to be announcing to the whole world that you are a gambler and even if you do, you are either doing it in a close place. I understand that you may feel a little awkward if you get spotted by someone you may know probably while leaving a casino or something, but in that case, everyone have their lives to live, and what is even the point, when you cannot change anything that has happened anyway.

I really don't see why people have a problem with shyness in gambling, particularly on gambling websites where they can't even see you.

You need to be a lion when it comes to gambling, you are already up against the house edge, you need to turn the tides in your favor and be as aggressive as possible, particularly in social games. As shyness can often screw you over when it comes to betting for big pots.

You need ti be a lion when situation comes, but you need to know how to be vulnerable and make other people think you are weak, I`m talking about poker here. That is most interesting game, you need to know how to lure people to think differently from what really is. In online poker you don`t see other people faces but there are few tricks how to make other people on the table confused.
Every characteristic can help you in gambling if you know how to use it in your advantage. Being a lion is good sometimes, but in most cases you will find yourself in bad situation in front of bigger and stronger lions, you will not be able to do much there. So use your emotions in your advantage to trick others, its how should be.

People who gamble might only would shy if they found somebody else of their relatives or friends seen them in the casino and they get caught. As may be world would know that he does not gamble but being caught is an awkward position and it is a bad feeling as well. 
Possible that this case will happen, you would felt some shyness if someone who near to you would see you playing inside the casino when they are not aware that you are doing some gambling, I guess there's a lots of different feelings when things is happening not according to our plans, it can add some
worries and not being focused when you are in this situations, though it can also be overcome when you are already enjoying or you are already so aggressive playing gambling.
Why would someone close to you will even be in a casino with you if they are not gambling as well. I am sure to even see such a scenario occurring, it must have been someone you are very close to and you both share the same activities most of the time, and in that case, you are definitely not going to be shy. I have not seen a case that would actually make someone shy anyway except for the fact that you will surely be trying to not let the society or family know what you do in your space once in a while.

Except a lot of people do not know what shy means, but fear and shy does not have anything to do in common. If you are afraid, it is either you are trying to run away from something that makes that exact thing you are doing either illegal or not perceived well in the society and people seeing you may not speak well.

Being shy is more like being nervous in the company of other people, but I feel if they are people you both share the same activities with, which in this case is gambling, I see no reason why anyone should be shy.

I agree that you really would feel that if it's your first time or something. I think you become better with experience because the more exposed you are, you become less and less shy. Well it's very different when you are experienced versus when you are a first timer.

Yes, i agree, every beginner will experience this because there might be a feeling that they will lose money through gambling. It is completely common at the beginning of everything, once you get familiar with it you will not feel shy any more.

Being shy or nervous sometimes occurs because you are still inexperienced and new. Of course you don't have to sit right away in a table you feel full of sharks and whales. The first thing to do is actually observe and participate when you feel comfortable.
And if you ask me what to do with it, I will suggest you to just go out and live a happy life. Make something else the source of your income and don’t just rely on this harmful game. Because whosoever comes in wealthier, he just goes out the most empty pocket person in surrounding. So better is to turn your back and leave that casino as soon as possible because only that will be best for your life.
