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 ?
Who are these people you hide your gambling activities from ?
Give a reason why you don't want them to know you are a gambler.
Although in some places gambling is a legal activity and a common thing to do.
Being a gambler of course in some places is still something that is viewed negatively.
In some places including mine, gambling is still considered a futile and negative activity.
Of course I kept this a secret from my family and environment because of the prevailing norms.
Although we are fully responsible for what we bet in gambling,
but still we must be worried and keep thinking about the norms and customs that apply in our place right?.
