That makes sense, because there are also those who are addicted to gambling but do not want to admit they are addicted to gambling and that may be because they are embarrassed to admit they are addicted to gambling. Also with many people's views on gambling are not good, so when there are people in the neighborhood who gamble or are addicted to gambling, it is indeed a bad judgment that will be made by others against him. Gambling itself is actually not bad if done within reasonable limits, it's just that with the many bad views of society on gambling, they judge people who are addicted and experience other bad effects because of gambling, even though it is the fault of each individual.
I doubt that gambling in secret can avoid the reality of gambling addiction, because in my opinion it is the same, gambling openly or secretly if you cannot control yourself then addiction is a sure thing.
On the time that you are molding up this kind of feeling on which this do really proves out that you are pretty aware on the condition that you are into on which you would really be that believing that you are already addicted to it but still you've been aware on the condition that you are in which i can say that you are still wary of the condition you are into. Hiding into the community or someone on the gambling activity that you are dealing? Actually its not really something that needed but if you are someone who doesnt really like to be seen by other people and would really be having those misjudgment then you would really be definitely considering that you will really be hiding in the shadows, and just that been said by others that playing silently or unknowingly could be possible nowadays on which everything could really be done through online and if you are playing
gambling then you could really be able to do so without any issues.
Someone who is addicted will not admit that they are addicted, whether because of shame or something else, but statements about gambling in secret can allow them to avoid the reality of addiction. It's no different, gambling openly or secretly makes it impossible to avoid addiction because it has no effect. To be able to avoid gambling addiction, in my opinion, it is in our own control, how we respond to gambling.
Indeed, with the existence of online gambling nowadays, many people can do it by themselves and wherever they want. Indeed, some people do their gambling in secret, maybe they don't want other people to see it because this gambling often has a bad view from many people. But that's not a problem, because that's everyone's right. It's just that what you have to do is not gamble excessively if you don't want to get into big problems.
