Topic: Shyness in gambling - page 3. (Read 3519 times)

At first, it might seem strange why we should be ashamed of our gambling habits. But once we understand what can happen if we continue this habit, then we might know the reason. After someone enjoys playing gambling, soon or later he can do other things that can imperil others, especially those closest to him. Selling valuables belonging to the family is the most common thing gamblers do to satisfy the ambition to gamble.

I don't what is the reason for someone to be shy when he is playing gambling online, even though it is not online and it is land based casino then what is the point of being shy? you do have your own money, you are the one who earned it and basically you do have the rights to use it on wherever you wanted to use it, if you are being shy because other people that you know might see you, then just don't gamble if you can't stand the judgment of other people.

I don't like to gamble with paper money because I want to save my money for another thing. and I think we can gamble in the crypto gambling site because, in that site, we can use the faucet to play gamble without deposit our coins to playing gambling. I am not too often playing gambling but I don't think that it wasting time because so far when I playing gambling, I don't use all of my time to stay in the gambling site because I know that this will makes me to lost more money.

I think they are just kidding around. Online, I also talk like that to my friends but we know well that we're just fooling around and we're doing the same thing to each other. But that doesn't mean that we're actually mean to each other. Anonymity gives us power and shy people can also have their time online since no one can see them. You even see shy people being famous online because they get to interact with people without having to show up, without having judged. It's all just in text form. Thus, shy gamblers can just be powerful when gambling online.
I'm not entirely sure if that CCTV monitoring thing of each person is an actual thing. It's just so much work if someone's going to remember everybody's faces and then rig whichever table they go to and not rig the ones where newbies are playing. It's so much work that I don't believe it entirely but for the discussion, let's suppose it is. Doesn't it make perfect sense to just go to different casinos instead so you're always going to be a newbie? After gambling in a casino and noticing that it's become hard for you to win there, just gamble on a different casino and then voila! easy winning bets again. Rinse and repeat.

But then again, I don't really believe that you easily win at first and then it becomes harder because they are rigging your table.

My request to all gamblers is same. Please stop this game and end your destruction period. Why are you so brave to go in hell in this way? Don’t you think what your families will be doing without you. People have destructed themselves once they get into this game. Like you, if there are more people understanding about cons of this gambling, we might be living a good era.

Real people cannot be trusted at all times, there were situations that they betray us through cheating the gambling games. Land based casino was preprogrammed and has monitoring cctv, at first they'll attract you with rewards and lucky bets. But in the next successive days to come your bets won't work out, because you've already spotted out and recorded to the monitor of the casino's establishment. Unlike with online gambling, you can do your will as you wanted to eventhough you're shyness doesn't matter as long as you're knowledgeable with the games online.

If it's really your first time in casino, you'll be shy of course and it's normal especially if you don't have atleast one along with you. But if it's online casino, there's nothing to be shy of. Other players can't see your face, what you're doing, what you're feeling and what you look like. And i count that the best shyness is being begger!

Well if you are known and you do some shitty bets you might become shy just for the betting downside.

This can be think of another way. People who feel shy playing gambling in front of other people, may not want to show and expose themselves that they play gambling. They want of keep it hidden and due to this reason we see lots of online casinos where you do not need to go physically to play.
And Bitcoin has further helped the cause as now one can gamble with complete security without fear of getting exposed by using credit card transactions.

Actually you are right but all in all, you see and observe other people in the poker table in a traditional casino, it is not like a nickname.

But isn't that much more fun when you play against real people? I mean, I don't even think about going to a land based casino, where you can play with real real people because probably I'm too shy for that, but in online gambling you can find games which are in the nature of a compromise between a land based casino games and games where you play entirely against a machine. I even think that for excessively asocial individuals playing with live dealers and with real people, with whom you can talk in chat during a game, might be a good step toward their socialization.

First of all, I am not a big fan of gambling at all and my honest suggestion to all gamblers is to stop wasting time and money here. Secondly, gambling with paper money was more than enough and now doing the same with bitcoin or any other crypto currency is even more ridiculous. These assets can bring back huge profits with time.

Most of the time people wants to play against someone as it is adding some excitement and fun, knowing that you needed to useeverything that you know about the game in order to win, but in many cases first timers really got the feeling of being shy knowing that the first experience might not be good for them, or maybe they are playing against experience ones, who can read their body language and use it to take advantage, it's always a first time and a combinations of shyness and excitement are there.

Very very true and maybe not only in connection to gambling, but with other human relations too. Recently I have learnt that kids in school can be very mean to each other online in social media, while the facade they maintain in real world is that of complete normality. My understanding is very similar to yours: that is much easier to be mean online, because you are sitting in front of the computer and do not have to confront other humans and their emotions and on top of that your emotions either.

I think a lot of people get intimidated playing against other humans.  They feel safer gambling with slot machines or dice because they are going against computers.  Facing off vs humans can be filled with very intense emotions which are hard to shake.

YES! This was me when I gambled for the first time, it's not a casino, though it is a large group of gamblers and with everything around, I was super shy back then, since I am very innocent with gambling, I was shy that the gamblers would make fun of me, they might fool me, take my money and etc. But it was hilariously one of the best days for me in gambling, I won games, made decent profit out of the money I spent, then after the next day I continued playing until I learned well on how to gamble.

What I think about a person borrowing money in order to have another gambling bet is addiction or an effort to bring back the gone amount. Losing money is painful so people try to have that back. Indeed, it is not the right thing to do and nor much can be expected from such action. Having shyness in one’s nature is not a taboo and it does no harm to anyone.

It is hard to imagine how one can be shy in an online casino, and yet this happens, especially when you play against real people, like in a poker tournament, for example. The thing is that if you gamble long enough, your nickname becomes known to the audience as well as some of their names are known to you. So, when you sit at a poker table, you don't feel anonymous completely, maybe only partially to some new players, but others surely know you, and you know them, you say "hi" to each other, "nice hand", "good game" and all that stuff. ... Of course there are different mindsets. Some people can be shy with people they know while others feel shy with strangers, so that depends on the person in general.

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand your point. fake source? Casino's are paying real money, how can you call it a fake source. Perhaps you haven't seen any casino's yet. That's human instinct, if its your first time then its ok to be shy. But once you know your way around a casino, how to bet, what machines you wanna play all those shyness will be gone in an instant.

This shame doesn’t come due to first time in gambling or something related, no. rather they are feeling bad and shamefulbecause they are going in casino and trying to earn from a fake source. Their minds are covered with greed factor and they don’t let anybody make them understand the losses attached to it his harmful game. So better is to not be shy before someone.
