I hide my bets because I'm too embarrassed to show it publicly and serves no purpose other than for showing off and for fun. However, I encountered some incident where someone contacted and tried to scam me because previously I showed my bets and it was quite decent. You know, match fixing stuff. Therefore, I don't think people besides influencers should show their bets because it'll only harm them.

On the contrary, I like that no one knows how much money I bet and how much I won or lost. I do not need publicity in such matters. I consider this one of the elementary safety rules. In general, life is always better when people around you know less about you. Because among them there may be envious people and hidden enemies. The less they know about you, the better for you. And they can use the information you told them against you. For example, such people can tell the boss, that you allowed yourself to lose a large amount in gambling in the casino. And that means you have a lot of money. And the boss can cut your pay.
This is of course a primitive example, but it happens in life as I said.

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.

There can be a couple of reasons so as why people might choose to hide their bets, from having complete discretion to having zero public influence it is quite a way to make sure that people do not ' copy ' as well, some newbies will try and copy every bet that you might make only to end up causing stress for some bettors, I do think that the best way would be to be highly organized while gambling and winning without anyone knowing, its like the time when a man won lottrey online, posted about it and got killed the next day. Discretion is a vital strategy, I also like making bets without putting my name in there and using only casinos without kyc.

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.

Why? Why not?




I utilize this feature from time to time and the main reasons why I do this are:

-To hide my bets from the public, and to keep my strategy(more on stragedy really)  from the public view. It is a secret recipe for disaster. I also utilize it because it gives me an edge on contests, because others can watch and they will be able to strategize something that surpass my lb ranking(s).

I turn it on occasionally if a contest requires username visibility to make sure the wager or stats is mine, . etc.



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


Thank you and good luck to your bets!
