Topic: Shyness in gambling - page 2. (Read 3519 times)

Being brave or being shy does not stop you from facing the same outcome eventually anyway, so I do not see how that relates to the whole idea of being shy in gambling.

This has to do with each person's personality and it is normal for an introvert to feel shy among a lot of people which would always be present in casinos and some even believe they make terrible decisions in such scenarios. As long as you are gambling, only luck can make you win and not your personality. Bravery like you said, can even put you into much problem.

I doubt that not knowing part.

Everyone is aware of gambling and if he isn't aware of what he does, he won't gamble in the first place. But the most common reason is they are shy of being known by their relatives as a gambler. Gambling has a bad image in the industry so if they knew it that one of their relative is gambling, they feel like he has a contagious disease.

Yes i do feel shyness because I am thinking or I am affected what other people might think of me or might say against me. When we say "Gambler", we cannot prevent some other people to think negative about us or about our personality and I do not want that I have a bad image.

Don't you think that it's more shameful, stupid even, to say that you are shy when you're meeting the people you know, but then you can be found in a casino? You are shy to talk to the people you know, let alone strangers, but you are out there gambling like an extrovert.

Shyness can be overcome by reading self-help books and by practicing it through socializing with other people. How do you fix your shyness by just clicking a button in front of your computer? You can't. How do you fix your shyness by sitting in front of table surrounded by strangers? You don't. I think it's just one of the ways people are justifying their gambling problems. "Oh I'm gambling so I can be more outgoing." You can easily send a friend a text message on a weekend and ask them out for breakfast. If you had the time, you can easily meetup three friends in one day. One for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner.

But before you try to overcome shyness by socializing, it's crucial that you learn more about yourself and what makes you feel shy. Is it because of a scar on your face, a pimple, or simply low self-esteem? Reading is a must as well as practice.

I, myself, used to be so shy as a little kid. Growing up, I've always been so shy as well. But my last year on highschool, I grouped to the people that are always outgoing. They always go outing together. They go to the beach, eat out, etc. What I did was I purposely placed myself near those people. As time went by, I became a part of the group. I was still shy at first, but after going out multiple times, I overcome it. I got into college, placed myself near the people who seemed confident which I based on how they present a PowerPoint presentation. And just like that, I got confident as well. Was gambling involved at all? Nope.

Shyness come when they see or meet some of the known people to them who according to them is not gambling but hey see them in the gambling casino. This is where people get fixed or may be when they lose money and realize how bad their decision was .

I think calling gambling or casinos as a fake source of income is correct. Generally speaking, Gamblers have a mindset that they can earn big amounts of money from this game which indeed is just an illusion. That is why, gambling is a fake source. Moreover, if someone does not feel fine while playing this game, he should stop wasting any more time here.
We must quit gambling if we feel shy while gambling or due to the consequences of gambling. Because, people are unable to quit gambling due to no reason for them to quit. Instead of overcoming shyness while gambling, it would be much better to quit due to shyness.

Nope. I never feel shy in gambling because i am always feel excited to play in gambling. Being shy is always a bad attitude because you don't have any guts to stand up all by your own if you are always shy in many things.

I have felt that before, you are pressured to gamble with any game though you don't have to. It's probably the ambiance of the casino that you are with by that time.

Shy types are for online gambling.

Shyness is a natural thing from human nature, but only a few people are excessive in expressing it to the public in action, the feeling of shame must be avoided especially if you do poker game, you know that many players might be able to read your mind easily what cards do you have if you are shy

This is absolutely not true. Gambling is not a boxing match where your braveness can help you win. It is absolutely irrelevant for the outcome of the game whether you feel confident or not, because the state of your mind has no effect on the server seed in provably fair online gambling, neither it affects slots, cards or whatever in land based casinos. I even think that the so-called courage is a bad thing in gambling because sometimes it prevents you to stop when it's time to do so.

Shyness in gambling cant helo you have to be brave and to do it with pursueing your self to win un every game.You cant get your target if you are shy,shame cant help you in gambling it can make you down or loser.

Well, I'm also a shy type either and I usually feel pressure when playing offline casino even when I have no reason to be which is why I prefer the sport betting and slot machine game. However, the online casino game is more convince than offline because it give more confidence and dedication and dont give the shyness effect which the offline give.

If someone comes to me and tells that I am being watched by the owners or authorities of a casino while I am playing some game in that casino, I won’t doubt his words. There are cameras in such places. Actually now we have CCTVs everywhere, in streets, malls, restaurants etc. if home decides output of our games, indeed they are watching us.

For these kind of people there exist the online gambling and online gambling industry is far more powerful than offline casinos. Take sport betting casinos like bwin and bet365, they offer a perfect experience wherever you are and you don't need to go to the casino, the casino is in your hand. Same as for bitcoin casinos which are doing the same.

I would not feel comfortable going to offline casino and be limited in choice to what I play. There are only certain slots there compared to online casinos which there are a lot more choices.

I am quite happy to see you talking this way. Actually this is better for you to know what actually happens in there. People are often not interested to know about this harmful activity. Some might know about it already but somehow they become blind and deaf to see and hear about its reality. Now, as you are well aware of the circumstances, better to get away from all such stuff.

I see in the world of gambling now the money is just the everything. With having the chance to win a lot of money definitely makes sense that there is no room for shyness in all of that. I think there is no reason to be shy with the family as long as you’re not addicted and you are not hiding from anyone.

Well, that is right. However, I still do not see any reason why anyone should be shy when it comes to gambling. Yes, depending on the nature of some people when it comes to interacting generally, they may want to tend towards the shy side and that is most applicable to introverts mostly, but like you said, since there are lots of online gambling sites these days, it makes better sense to just make use of them rather than having to interact with anyone.

In the world of online gambling, there will be nothing like shyness. I you recall about your poor performances and get fell shy on that. Other than that, there could be zero chances for shyness while gambling online in our home and gambling anonymously in gambling world and secretly against our parents and sibling.

Why do you feel shy? I think that is common because it’s what other people said here. It’s somewhat because of the fear of humiliation or not knowing anything about what you are doing. Being online makes it better.

In a regular casino, yes I do felt shy the first time I try to gamble. But in an online casino where everyone is anonymous, I don't feel like it and also it's not hard to bet using cryptocurrency.

I avoid visiting land based casinos but not for the reasons you've mentioned. I think the whole thing with "preprogrammed" outcomes is more suitable for a fiction movie than for real life. Do you think it's really possible to spot a gambler with cctv and then remotely rig every slot, every poker table, every ... what? ... every dealer?, so that if gambler is a newbie than he/she should win, and if they are here not for the first time, then he/she should lose? Although this idea could make for a good movie, it's definitely not the case in real life.

Some people, including me, avoid visiting land based casinos because of shyness to interact with strangers, in the first place. But, yeah, overall I agree that it is more likely to be cheated there than in online gambling, so, maybe our shyness is a good thing in this case.
