certainly there, because this human nature that we often encounter especially in the world of gambling. because that often causes the shame when we lose the gamble continuously
Yes, I had personally experienced this. In fact, all the gamblers out there must have experienced this when it was their first time. I can relate myself to the scene you described here and that is a common scenario for all the newbies. But yes, no one really cares. They all are busy in their own planning and playing games. They will also welcome you if you have pocket full of money. And it normally is everywhere you have to give yourself a bit of time to adapt to the situations. No one is born perfect after all.
Maybe because of being newbie in physical casinos that's why you have a shyness in gambling. I am also shy especially if there are a lot of people watching you when you play especially when they look at you because you are new to that place. I think it is normal with casinos but eventually your shyness will gone after all.
I think it is more to nervous instead shy when people around you watching the game .But if you really do then it might because shyness to meet new people , things can go wrong if you talk to someone etc.
try to do a small talk and you will think that socialize won't make you feel that way anymore.
Shy? I think it has nothing with gambling, but self confidence really does. If a person has not self confident in life gambling, cause of people who sit around, why not to turn to online gambling where the person can feel free?!
if I have to relate the behaviour of a person with the outcome of the game, definitely both have no connection with each other or you can say these are totally independent sets. Moreover, if would like to support you in this point that if someone does not feel okay playing this game, he should not even do this. This will hinder his fun too. Besides, what is the point in feeling embarrass or shy in front of people of your own kind?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?
This happens when we were newbie in that particular place,or were newbie in casinos,because more of gamblers are being trained in their local places or lucky if sometimes playing in online casinos.Have you felt this way? I don't know if playing online casinos would have that effect also. What do you think?
But when time that they go to the real casino,they felt being others ,i have once felt this but when my friends continue to encourage me,then i got to play with confidence
there must be, for example, the shame when we lose the gamble and the embarrassment of having little capital in the appeal of our gambling gambling capital is very much
How will someone know that you have little capital to begin with? And why are you so embarrassed by it? Having a small capital has its disadvantage but I don't think that is one of the reason why someone will be embarrassed or feel ashamed of. If you step into the casino everyone has a equal chances of hitting the jackpot no matter what your starting capital is. I think the main reason why first time gamblers is shy is that they are somewhat intimidated by how big a landbased casino is and they need to understand first what is the smallest bet that they can put say for example in a table game like blackjack or in a slot machines.

No. I've never felt being shy in gambling but i feel pressure while i am playing gambling and it is normal. Unlike being shy it is not normal in gambling because if you are shy you will never enjoy the game, remember just enjoy the game and no one would be mad to you if you sit in tables as long you will bet or a player.Have you felt this way?

I think i never felt being shy in gambling i only feel pressured while playing and sitting in tables. Even you are just a newbie in playing gambling you won't need to be shy to play and join tables because you won't be able to play and there are players who are kind to their opponents, so just get a long with them and play.Have you felt this way?

A common scenario for all the newbies in casinos. I personally experienced this thing, I feel like an ignorant guy who just go to casino to make some mess but yeah they actually don't care as long as you have the money to play then they will seat with you. Also some gamblers saw this as an opportunity to fool you and have some money, I encounter this thing before. Well if you are a shy type person, online gambling is way better for you.
I agree with you and i guess it really happens to all newbies. I think it is supposed to be clled as shyness in gambling but instead being ignorant as you what you have said. Because gambling in casinos is a like more different than playing gambling inside your house or your friend’s house. In casino have different rules and different people you will encounter in the table until later on we will get used to it.
I think one of the basic ethics of a good gambler is his confidence and so if you are shy then you have no business venturing into gambling in the first place. I am tempted to believe that many of the people who feel shy at gambling are the ones that are not ready and resolved but for the sake of what they stand to get they enter into gambling.
Yes and I think it is perfectly normal. I felt the same once in a sushi restaurant when the cook would prepare the sushi for me in front of me. I just had to order the fish, the kind of a roll or sushi or whatever kind I wanted. I didn't know all the japanese names involved and I felt really shy and I just ordered what the other guy did. Really. We humans work that way...
But you were feeling a bit low because you were a total stranger who has no idea and cannot make a decision for his own. At the same time you did not want others to know about this. But honestly, Japanese people are sweet and would have helped you if you had asked them. Shyness in gambling is not due to inability of dealing with unknown, but playing this game even after knowing how lame it is makes people uneasy.
Actually no, it was a European and a very snobby restaurant, with all the guys using the Japanese names with ease, and you are perfectly right I didn't want them to know that I was not knowing what I was doing. No sweet Japanese people to help you out, only snobby Europeans around
I mentioned that example with sushi to show what I was feeling when I was in a casino for the first times - I was kind of shy too, not knowing what I can or should do, and you are right - not wanting others to know it.

Yes but once you start betting the big money, and play gamess like, Blackjack, Poker, etc, you began to see familiar faces and people you just like to play with!!!!
Yes, as you gain confidence playing and sitting in front of others players. However, being a first timer and even though your really know how the games is played, you will be feeling some shyness, its human nature and I think every gambler has also experienced it.
Although I have this one bad experience when I was starting my journey. There was one casino that I played and for obvious reason, one player noticed that I'm a beginner and he tried to intimidate me and keeps on embarrassing me in front of other players. I wanted to punch that mofo in the face but I'm glad I was able to control myself. But after a while, every time I will bump shoulders with him, he was like very friendly to me.

the only thing that made me embarrassed was when I lost a second time, like losing my self-esteem. as well as money lost, such as losing self-esteem.
I don't see it as a bad thing. Gambling is a bad thing every time you became proud of yourself on winning some even though you lose a lot more than that.
Losing your self esteem means that you will be having a hard time gambling again especially in the casino where you got embarrassed and I see that as an opportunity to get yourself out of gambling, it is for your own good, man. Think again on gambling your money since you might build again your self esteem on gambling and the worst might happen, in which being addicted on gambling.

This is our nature. Humans are shy whenever they are prone to something new. We don’t just become easy at all in start instead, we have to take some time when we manage ourselves according to the environment and people. This nature comes out at gambling table too. But this gambling shyness is seriously ill. We don’t have to face such shyness because gambling isn’t healthy for us. Jump to:
