Topic: Why do some people hide to gamble - page 15. (Read 3452 times)

Hiding?? It could be that they have a comfortable place there and their goal of avoiding crowds could be hiding other activities that have nothing to do with gambling (I'm thinking some ridiculous possibilities)...

No need to be surprised because they have reasons why they do that. It's possible that they feel comfortable hiding their gambling activities from other people. They don't want anyone to say bad things about people who gamble.

Even though their country allows gambling, they still hide their gambling activities, that's okay for them. Gambling is not a crime, but it depends on each person. Many of them think about the people around them, especially their children, who don't want to gamble like them.

Maybe there are many more reasons that they can't say. It's better to just let them continue to hide their gambling activities from other people. The important thing is that they can control themselves while gambling.

Actually gamble is legal in many countries but in some countries and some tribes there are people who don't consider gamble to be a legitimate things that's why most people essentially the young ones that just reached 18 years will gamble hidden so that their parents will not know that they are gambling. I keep my gambling habits secret from my parents for just one purpose, so I think those that hide their gambling habits have a reason for that.

Actually I'm surprised why someone need to hide their gambling activity if gambling is legal on there!

For countries who prohibit gambling, it's make sense for people to hide because they might be punished and go to jail.

Gambling isn't a criminal thing, it's really normal and people are having fun while gamble. I don't understand with people who think hanging out in bar or gambling is a bad thing, perhaps they jealous since they don't have any friends for going out lol.

you know, people always put what others view about them into consideration and not everyone wants to be seen as a gambler depending on the kind of environment one finds his or herself. For someone that's of a religious setting where gambling is frawned at to the peak, it's understandable to see someone shying away from being seen as a gambler since it's not what's really accepted like that in the society. Outside of this, what's possible going to be the reason why they might hide to gamble is because they are probably teenagers that don't have a good source of income and if cought gambling, they will have to explain where they got the money for and even if the money is there's, it would be seen as wasting of money and thale best option they will be left with will be to gamble in secrete to avoid unnecessary questioning.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.

I was walking down my street this evening I saw some group of guys in a hidden corner of an uncompleted building playing WHOT games ordinarily I felt they are just spending usual time as friends and that they are playing the WHOT game to keep themselves busy while discussing.

But when I got closer to them I discovered that there was a dirty container close to them and inside the container is money they bet for the game they are playing , and if not careful observed you will never believe that they are playing bet games .

Gambling in some countries does have its own prohibitions, it's difficult if you don't explain the rules of gambling in your country. For some people, gambling is part of the disgrace that brings shame to the holy family. It has been proven that many people have gone bankrupt due to gambling and that is why some people still consider gambling to be taboo, especially if it is done by poor people or people who have no sense... so it is very likely that they hide from the pursuit of their wives or families in homes where gambling is prohibited.

I smoked cigarettes before and yes I kept it hidden with my family and relatives because I don't want them to know that I have a bad habit. Only selected family members know it and most of them smoke too. So yes, I will have to agree with you on this. Gamblers who don't like their bad habit to be known to their family will keep it hidden just so they won't look bad in their sight or they don't want to be the start of the gossip that will probably be scattered all over the whole family connections.
I kept my gambling habit to my relatives but my wife does know about it. It's not a secret to her because I always love to be honest so she would let me do it as long as the money that I use is my own and will not jeopardize the budget for food, bills, mortgage, and other stuff that are needed to be bought.
It works well for us and we do have a peaceful home. Actually, it's better than keeping it a secret.

This question is valid and common, anyone will definitely have a different reason hiding their gamble life from the public. Although the way most people view gambling is wrong cause the moment you say you're a gambler people look different and some might mistake you as an addict but this is wrong. I'm speaking from my experience or else I find no other reason or such gambler want to hide gambling cause of their kids or wife noticing, aside from what people will say and view I find nothing wrong that's why I prefer the online casino that involve your money and game only

Gamblers hide their gambling because people don't like gambling and if someone is gambling then nobody wants to allow their children to sit with gamblers as his activity will surely put adverse effects on their children too.

Gambler himself thinks that he is right but if we ask about him from his family then we will rarely find a positive response from his family. You will have experienced that most of the people hide their smoking from people around him because people don't like this habit so the same is the case with gambling that gambling acts like a poison for a person so that is why he keeps this activity hidden.

It's easy to answer, many people says it's easy to do evils but hard to do what's good, and I could say while you start gambling newly you have also thought that gamble is a bad thing that's why you have to luck the door so someone from your family will not see you gambling, gamble is not bad to me but if I see someone who has become addicted to it, I would think that gamble is bad for only that person. I have also keep my wager as secret from my friends because I stake more than them some times.

Actually this mindset of evil and bad about gambling has been the reason why most persons have actually been unable to really hand gambling or even make it sometimes they are proud of telling people that they actually do engae in even when they know that they are making money off it but then because of the discrimination around it they seem not to be really proud about it and tend to keep it a secret.

Except amongst fellow gamblers most gamblers are very uncomfortable sharing their gambling habits because do the fear of been discriminated because of their habit but personally i see bad and good as relative because this thing which is now appearing bad to some persons is actually helping some others put food on their table so it's actually unfair to tag such as a bad thing when they literally don't take from others but only put their minds to work and eventually they get to win and then make money off it that is enough to help them assit the family.

Except for a few who actually don't get to control their selves enough not to get damaged by gambling, gambling in itself isn't a bad thing but these people are the once who makes it appears otherwise and cause others to get to think same way about gambling and making those who engaged in gambling appear irresponsible meanwhile they aren't as they can actually gamble and still stay responsible enough gambling.

In fact even if gambling is banned in a country to increase the popularity of online gambling it will be easy for gamblers to keep it a secret. I think the risk would be a little lower if it's hard for legal authorities to get information from here. There are not only risks but also strict legal measures that will cause problems when gambling physically. There is no reason to fear in online gambling. Gamblers enjoy many benefits for gambling secretly.
