I don't tend to hide or keep my username private in my betting because I'm also a small gambler and I rarely play. I also don't care if they imitate the strategy I used, it's up to them. I only hide it when I want to or in case the information I have used on the gambling site is related to my true identity. Maybe I’ll even be able to hide my identity publicly if I win big.

I did the same it's ignorable if you're betting small no one will hardly know unless the username you're using is well known so why hide it, if there is a contest like OP mentioned its best to not show it because when it comes to contesting everyone is for each own, and if you won you can make it public any big wins is considered as a chip in your shoulder, but of course, your username should be different from what you're using from real life.

I tend to hide my bets because it's one way to avoid unwanted attention in chat, even though I still post my bets on chat from time to time it's better to keep most of my bets to myself.

Not really sure what you're talking about, hiding your username in this forum are completely pointless if you didn't hide your username on the casino itself. When you're already hide your username and many users did same, no one will know which user is controlled by you if we see from the public bet history.

It's just for privacy to not link between your account on this forum and the casino, that's all.

I think he's talking about hiding the username in the casino as sometimes you'll get distracted by messages from certain users if they see you winning and placed high in the leaderboards of a contest.

Also, maybe you want to hide your username and don't let anyone else copy gamble you, I know people do copy trade most of the time.

I am sure most people do it for their own privacy, not to think so much about it at all.
If I ever want to share my winnings if I hit a jackpot, I will make a post and brag about it but until then, I will love to keep my bets private.

Personally I don't like someone to see how much I bet and if I am winning or not, but for other players with higher bets and winning they probably don't want someone to beg sometimes if people see you are winning they would send you a message trying to be friendly and after a while they will ask if they could borrow a money but for some users probably because they just want a privacy. Plain and simple.

The reason is because I only use small funds in every bet (sports betting) and minimum bet (on dice, slots etc.) and consider this not something to be proud of to display, indeed there are players who still display their bets even though they are worth the same as me but I think keeping it hidden feels more comfortable to me.

I just do not want other people to see me doing online gambling because not everyone around me will let me do that.
Some will not be comfortable seeing a person playing gambling because gambling does not have a good name here.
That is why I hide my gambling time from the public, even at home, and I only gamble when I am in my room without anyone with me.
But if I am with my friends who also play gambling, I will show what I do because sometimes, we gamble together in one room Grin

Be nice!

I usually don't use this feature often as I don't really mind people seeing my bets since I seldom do high bets but when I do I make sure to turn it on. There are various reason as to why people turn this feature on especially those who don't want to socialize on the chat or being checked by other players. It's really common for people to keep in check of your account especially if you have a high win rate and a high roller as they try to copy your strategy. However, for me, I only used this feature if I think that I'm gambling with somehow a relatively high bet and don't want people to see it especially if you win. There are some gambling platform where users will try to contact you thru chat if you win and ask for tip.

I usually hide my bet since I’m not comfortable someone is lurking to my win/lose. I’m feeling embarrassed if I have huge loss and someone saw it on the public bet history. I usually use chat box to socialized to other players so most players on the casinos that I’m using knew my username and its such a shame to see my gambling statistics when I’m down big time.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.

I don't publicize my bets (or the fact that I gamble) in general, I don't really see the need to. It's not a matter of strategy or whatever really, imo games would still boil down to a matter of luck anyway. At the same time though, I don't really hide it, if someone approaches me and starts talking about gambling, I'd join in and enjoy a talk over a drink or something. Some of my close friends do know I'm gambling so we do have some conversations about that, especially if it was about sports gambling.

As much as I can I don't want to publicize my bets in public due to some reasons. The most common reason is I don't want people to see if I am having a winning and losing streak since it could catch an attention from many people. Privacy is really important and its good if all casino have this feature because for sure many gamblers don't want people to talk about their activities since somehow this could destroy their focus.

If the identity of a huge winner is known it can attract hackers into the account, this is why some prefer to keep their privacy to themselves. I don't bet high when I do though but I still don't see any reason to be in public because of the bet I stake. It is the people that like publicity that will like doing that to attract the public and fans to theirselves and social media handles, like the celebrities. We can make example of drake like that since he is a celebrity.

I don`t show my bets and wins/loses. The best way to keep your money safe - not to tell anyone about it. Of course here is only my nickname, but someone can make research, try to get my e-mail, after it my real name, etc, etc. And if no one know about my money - i`m interesting for no one.
And i can understand why men show their results - they want to boast of their success. Someone wants to hear congratulations but i think that it is a bad practice.

...gambling responsibly. Do not be addicted.

Some people just will like privacy, especially if they are gambling with high amount of money (though not advisable to gamble with high amount of money), they will be expecting big win, they may want the public not to know about this and prefer the privacy way. But as for me, I gamble with just very low amount of money, I do not consider going for any privacy way, such do not even bothers me. But privacy is good, especially to help solve the feeling of not being secure and it can actually help and enhance someone's security.

I don't really hide my bets in public. In fact, my co-workers know that when lunch time is already in, I would make my way to get my laptop and place bets on sports or any esports that I know of. They even ask me for recommendations on who to bet, but that is something that I don't usually grant given that money is on the line and a lot of times, my predictions are ass. They can ask who are playing or what my thoughts on my bet are, but I don't give out straight predictions because I don't want to be blamed if it got lost.

When playing gambling we have different strategies and some of us take this as an advantage to make sure it is all about the strategy of our own. I guess it is good only to flex the win streak at the same time as the total wins by that still you can share your achievements of it. Some of the gambling platform today has their feature regarding getting private to make sure that their players has still made themselves anonymously.

Once I was in lucky streak, and that gave me good winning. By the time I got request from many users for tipping. Some congratulated on the winning. I was completely new to the platform and I doesn't want to tip. The next day I lost everything I won, and this made me hide the statistics. I also felt like, if I've tipped them I wouldn't have lost the next day.

Most casinos want to publish all bets publicly for their transparency, and in many cases, also as a marketing strategy to attract new gamblers. Of course, if you want to know if you're dealing with a professional gambler then there is no better way to find out than by seeing their stats online. But sometimes it's not always that simple. Every gambler has the right to discretion and the right to his privacy. I usually like to hide my bets when it comes to big amounts and when it's not a common technique. And in the case where a bet is under $100, it doesn't really matter if anyone sees my name or not.

How about you guys, what makes you hide your bets and/or what makes you show it to the World?

I'm just a small bettor who usually follow the odds, so I don't see any urgency for me to hide my bets and identity, beside its just a username which still makes me private gambler. If you value your strategy or what, its ok to hide your bets if that makes you more comfortable but some site don't have this kind of feature I guess, that's why many are still showing their names and it is still fine with them.

I have seen majority of people hide their usernames when they are on high rollers
They do it on purpose, as they don’t want any other members know that they are winning or losing big.
I have also seen that this happens majorly in the site which have chatrooms to interact.
Many people also hide their username, as in this way they can be saved from passive begging in inboxes.
I am not a high roller , so therefore for there is no need to make my name private and bet.

I don't understand why anyone want to show bets in public.When you place a bet,you are using an online casino most of the time and thus the bet is between you and the casino,there is no need for someone else to see it.In fact when I used to place sport bets on my local neighbor club people were curious about what did you bet,we used to exchange views with each other but this most of the time ended up in all of us losing our bets because we were impacted by each other thinking,that is why I never share a bet unless in rare cases when I hit a big win which I want to share with other people but after the bet has been settled of course.
