I don't think there's anything to hide from anyone as long as our gambling activities don't harm others and are within normal limits. [...]

Money is not the only reason for hiding it. There are many other reasons as well.

But in some countries people who gamble are still considered bad. [..]

in a Muslim country, it is considered a sin. This is the reason why people living in these countries do not want to reveal themselves as a gambler.

I don’t really hide from anyone, because in my inner circle I know mathematics better than anyone, and if the conversation comes about gambling, I will talk about it in the language of mathematics. Accordingly, I am not afraid of being attacked by someone.
But in general, of course, I try to keep any aspect of my life closed, since I am not a public person, and the less others know about me, the better. The personal must remain personal. Gambling belongs to this in my opinion.

it will be a camouflage that your explanation of gambling is compared with mathematical knowledge, so it looks more logical. For those of you who are not the public type of person, of course it will be easy to cover up that you are a gambler. But when we talk about gambling, currently gambling is done freely online, such as slot gambling games and several other games.
Knowing that someone was a gambler, their mindset would undoubtedly go in a negative direction, but that isn't exactly true right now. There are many types of gamblers today, those who are really serious and understand gambling can manage well, but those who gamble just because they want to win they end up becoming addicts and spending a lot of money.

There are a million reasons why people will think bad of you, and by the way, the "do the right thing and you'll be thought well" system doesn't work. For example, some people consider people who do not drink alcohol to be secretive and hypocritical Grin

Therefore, as I wrote above, it is best to keep personal personal, but do not get hung up on it too much, because people will still find a reason/occasion to draw absurd conclusions.

Well, mainly my parents. Even though I am married and left my parent’s house long years ago, even though they are an old retired couple in a town now whereas I am working hard in a city, even if everything looks like I am just a grown man making my own decisions and my parents have no say in any of that, I still wouldn't want my father to know about it.

For two reasons mainly, one is intellectual and the second is financial. Intellectual because my father is a smart guy who reads a lot of books and would be disappointed in me if he knew that I was gambling against house edge, something 100% guaranteed to make me lose money, that is stupid but we like it. Financial because.. well you lose, that is the financial reason.

...

I am in the opposite situation.

I don't hide it from my family, but I hide it from my coworkers because there is always a need for seriousness between me and them. Actually, I'm not really a gambler. I only bet on sports events and only on matches that I am very confident about for small amounts and I am not addicted to it because I can leave it whenever I want. So I don't have too many problems with this issue...

My parents also know that I often bet on football but not with my co-workers and college friends because it will damage the reputation I have there. there are some of my college friends who are also my co-workers, if they know I like to play soccer betting then I'm sure they will pass it on to other friends and my boss will definitely know about it, a bad reputation will make me have no career advancement in the company.

Give a reason why you don't want them to know you are a gambler.

Yes, occasionally and sometimes regularly, depends on my mood.

I think I don't have any specific people on my list that I want to hide my gambling activities from, be it my own family, relatives or friends. I just don't feel the urge that they have to know nor share to them that I gamble because why would they need to know, right? Surely, I won't be getting some praises if they'll know and I'll just hear some words that I don't wanna hear, so, it's best for them if they don't know.

The important thing is that I'm able to keep my boundaries when it comes to gambling, I just love to bet on said games or fights while watching them, that's all.

earlier I used to discuss everything with my friends and people around but I realized that this is not going to help.
the only person who is going to help you is YOU. So I have limited my circle and balanced my life.

If you become addicted to gambling, you need other people. You can help yourself, it is impossible.
Sometimes you don't realize that you are addicted to gambling, your close people realize it and probably remind you. If no one knows your gambling activities, who will remind you when you are gambling in the wrong way? You need others, that why human is a social creatures.

Sharing some of our problems to other people does help us because they can give us tips or encourage us to not give up. I believe that many of us here were once addicted in gambling and we are shy to tell it to others but we are lucky that we overcome it on our own. If you think you can't do it yourself then don't be afraid to seek help. We shouldn't worry because I am very sure that we are not going to be hated or scolded.

It's unlikely that we won't know if we are addicted already or not. The truth is we know it when it happened but we only act like we are blind and continue doing it because we started liking it already. If we are curious if what is our gambling status, we can do some tests online or simply research if what are the signs of gambling addiction.

I don't think there's anything to hide from anyone as long as our gambling activities don't harm others and are within normal limits. and I have my own limits in gambling. because I have always been accustomed to managing finances carefully. and give special rations for pleasure. this was done so as not to affect my financial condition. If we can still gamble while maintaining our own economic quality then I don't think other people will be able to lecture us.

But in some countries people who gamble are still considered bad. so we are forced to not be open with this. we are more closed to certain people. But it depends on what kind of gambling is being played. because even in my country gambling such as the lottery is considered normal. even minors, such as at the elementary school level, are familiar with it (2000s era). due to traders who introduced it to children at school during recess. I think Indonesians know this (those born in the 90s). I mean the classic lottery type. but for now the school has banned traders who introduce this type of gambling game.

Some gamblers keep their gambling activities secrete from people they have close relationship with. Having it in mind that if these people know they are gamblers,it might bring down their reputation or make them look wasteful. I hide my gambling activities from my Mom the reason is that she hates gamblers and calls them irresponsible people from her own perspective.

Are you such gambler ?

There are actually some countries where gambling is seen as a very dirty act, and anyone found involving I'm such activities is seen as very irresponsible for some factors best known to them.
I personally love gambling and I also gamble most times but with money I'm willing to loss but there is something I hate which is addictive gambling and that act drives me crazy because those set of people can go any length to gamble even selling of properties.

I wouldn't want my family know I gamble and my community at large because there is a reputation maintained by my family and it wouldn't be nice seeing me gambling and that's one reason I love online casinos.

I also wouldn't want my children know I gamble because if we could all say the truth boldly to ourselves, we should know that gambling in general isn't really a nice deal and most gamblers, if not all would prefer a nice job with a nice pay

Guilty Pleasures ---> There are just some stuff people do not need to know.... and whatever you do with your own time and money.. are one of those things. Why should people find the need to scrutinize every little thing you do..... it is none of their business.

That is the attitude that I have... I know gambling are wrong in many people's opinion... but I enjoy it... so why should I care what they think? I am not using their money.... so why should they care?

I only hide my gambling activity to my kids as I don't want them to think that it's fine to gamble since that is what adults do. So everytime I gamble, I kept it secret and make sure they're not around to see what i'm doing. It's not a good influence to them and they can't understand yet even I explain.

But this is not the case when it comes to my husband as i'm open with him, in fact he's watching me sometimes when I gamble before going to bed. It's because he's aware that it's only my way to entertain myself and i'm not a compulsive gambler.

Regardless of the context of the Op thread above. I can understand what you are saying, but providing understanding to children at an early age is very necessary, in this context it applies to all things not only related to gambling. I have a son, but sometimes he tries to find out what his parents are doing. I mean here, sometimes children see, pay attention, or ask what we are doing, especially in terms of gambling activities. there are a lot of ads on social media, be it youtube, whatever it is. children can get information from anywhere without our knowledge. the importance of providing education and understanding for children at an early age.

However, if we speak in the context of Op. I think gambling has now become part of the entertainment of modern society which cannot be separated, especially online casinos. no matter how hard we try to keep it from our family, the public, or in this case protect our reputation. in the end, everyone wouldn't care as long as it didn't harm them. as long as we can keep it just part of the fun, responsible and understanding entertainment, I don't mind if people find out that I love to gamble.

before I got married I didn't want my family to know I was gambling let alone my mother, but after I have a new family and get married, I don't want my wife to know because it will make her angry later if she finds out I often spend my bonus money on gambling

but to be honest I don't spend a lot on gambling just for fun except for football betting where I often win so I hide the income from winnings to have fun in the dice roll game

If you were able to hide it from your parents namely your mother and your father and your siblings and you are now married you are still hiding it from your wife. Will it not be better to let your wife know if necessary and then let her know that you only gamble with your bonus. Which means you don't spend high amount of money in gambling. Some understanding women will not stop you but they will only advise you to stick to the small portion that is for gambling and they will always be there to check you if you want to spend above your budget

yes I will tell my wife if I win the bet and usually sometimes I buy a gift for her, if she asks where the money comes from I just say from my salary bonus, lol
I hope my wife doesn't see my post here, even though one day she will know too, but don't worry, I still play in small portions because my wife knows about me playing dice gambling just for fun, nothing more

my wife just doesn't know that i play soccer betting and also use my salary bonus, i'm not a gambling addict so i'm still safe to control my emotions when i play gambling, maybe one day i'll be honest with him if i win big Cheesy

I don't talk about my gambling activities. However i have gambling friends and we discuss with them how we can make this business better. My family's approach to gambling is negative. Because they see gambling as an addiction and say that they isolate people from normal life. Actually they are right. Because with gambling, my antisociality increased and my focus was only on gambling. Do it for fun not addiction. Stay with love.

Nope, I am not a gambler perse but occasionally, I would try and test out my luck to see if I would win tonight's game or chance. The reason perhaps on why you do not want anyone or your family members to know that you gamble is due to your frequency of playing the game.

If you are someone who occasionally gambles and playing for fun, most likely, you will not be as shy as you mentioned. But one factor on why you would like to keep it a secret is to avoid influencing the younger generation in the family on why you gamble. This might fuel their curiosity, thereby influencing others in this very dangerous activity.

Give a reason why you don't want them to know you are a gambler.

I have been a gambler since 6 years ago.
I have never hidden my gambling activities from my family. but my gambling activities, I hide from the public.

The first reason why I don't hide my gambling activities from my family is because whatever I do will never be banned by my family. Most importantly my family just wants me to gamble knowing the limits of the rules. I mean if I gamble I have to use cold money and if I lose, don't carelessly use hot money or money that is used for daily needs. and on the other hand I betting my wife supports it too

The second reason why I hide my gambling activities from the public is because in my country gambling is prohibited and is considered a violation of state law. I realize that gambling is the right of every human being, which is done without anyone being able to prohibit it. but on the other hand I have to appear to comply with the law to continue gambling

Something that is quite good because your family understands about it and you are also aware of limiting your gambling by not letting the emotion of risking everything in gambling be one of the things that might be accepted. As long as you give what your family wants from a financial perspective, maybe this isn't too much of a problem.
As for the actual public, I still feel that gambling is one of our privacy, there are many reasons underlying this and of course the stigma and things that are still taboo are quite strong reasons.

The one point you have mentioned about using cold money is very good but I like the other important point which is not disclosing your activities to the public.
One should live a private life - this is the best approach.
