Topic: Why do some people hide to gamble - page 3. (Read 3470 times)

Gambling should just be a source of entertainment, but people are no longer making it their source of entertainment but their source of income, which is making people have the wrong perception about gambling. I will say most of the people who are gambling just for the sake of money are addicted to gambling, and we all know the crazy things some addicted gamblers do, which makes people think gambling is a bad thing.
 
Addicted gamblers can do anything to make money just to gamble, they can go to the level of disturbing the community peace just because they want to make money to gamble, so most people are already thinking the only people who gamble are irresponsible people, but they don’t know that only addicted gamblers do crazy things.

In my opinion, gambling should be hidden from the people closest to you, especially the environment which cannot accept gambling activities well. but with those who hide it, maybe they will hide all their problems, sometimes it's necessary to talk about it, perhaps with their own friends or anyone who can accept it well and provide guidance when they know that gambling is an activity that is often done. because gambling can make someone forget self-control and here the importance of other people's advice is important. It's still good if you can realize yourself.

actually telling our parents about the gambling we are doing has negative and positive aspects, the negative is that our parents might scold us for doing activities that are harmful to ourselves, the positive is that they can give us advice to stop doing it or at least remind us not to do anything stupid. which endangers oneself such as risking all the money one has. The point is that not telling your parents is not a problem as long as we can remember the limits when gambling.

Yes, this is true, but everyone is used to putting labels and stamps on other people. If you play gambling and tell your friends, then they can probably expect that the moment will come when you ask them for a loan, many are afraid of this, and then a test will come for your relationship with your friends. Some people can quarrel so much that they stop being friends, with my great regret. I don’t want to say that now you have to remain silent about this, of course, anyone can say it, but then it’s better not to borrow money from them for the game, for me personally this is a ban.

Of course, there are those who lead an antisocial lifestyle and hide it from their friends, and of course this is their personal business, but then they don’t need to say much bad things about other people.

It's true that usually people like those in Southeast Asia, the players usually keep their online gambling a secret, especially because if playing real gambling is impossible for someone who lives there, it will certainly be a condemnation or a violation of existing laws, maybe everyone knows without me mentioning it. the country and even the person is willing to borrow money at the tenor of the loan just to gamble..

I completely understand your concern about hiding your cryptocurrency activities as there are risks involved. I do the same about cryptocurrencies, but I do not hide from my friends and acquaintances that I gamble, because I do not depend on anyone, and to be honest, there is nothing in it that would defame me or my family. In my opinion, many people do not even realize that they hide their passion for gambling simply because they care about the opinion of others, who in fact are not role models, and what is worse can hide much more antisocial entertainment.

There are many things to consider when a person is hiding his gambling problem.

One. Underage.
Two. It's against their traditional belief.
Three. The wife/partner is against gambling.
Four. Strict parents even if you are over 21, because you are still living under their roof.

Regarding the keeping it secret from the partner or the family, I think it's still because gambling had been seen as a bad habit even until now. The gambling industry may be growing but it doesn't mean everybody accepts that. There are still oldies that doesn't agree with it and don't like their kids to be dragged by it.

This is just the choice of each person, it seems to me that this is normal. None of my friends know that I am interested in cryptocurrency, or that sometimes I trade, perhaps knowing this would also raise unnecessary questions, and this also concerns security, so it’s not surprising that people don’t want to talk about what they do.

In addition, gambling is not the most popular type of activity, which contains high risks, and this can cause condemnation among people, and no one likes this and it is clear that they want to avoid this. And if you want to discuss this with someone, there are forums for this.

Well, I do not buy the idea or see reason why someone will hide to gamble, from your explanation seems they are kid of which I believe won't have the audacity to show that they are gambling because of fear and possible punishment from there parents and some elderly ones. They know rightly that they are doing the wrong thing which I would say we judge from the "reason behind them gambling" and thus stop them from such act at an early age.

Everyone have there different view or reasons why they choose to gamble in hiding or keep it private, it subjective to there decision as though, majority care about public opinion too.

We can hide our gambling activity from our community so they don't thinks about what we do if we are alone. They will not see our activities so we can stay away from them and they will not say bad things to us. They will see that we just like other people who act normally and do our other activities like other people but when we are alone, we can playing gambling with calm without thinks about what they will say later. Hiding our gambling activity is okay but we must thinks about how we can control ourselves because we will see the temptation can becomes bigger and makes us to spends much time to playing gambling. That's something that we must avoids to stay away from the gambling problems so we can use gambling to have fun.

We must have good control over ourselves in gambling because we hides our gambling activity and that means, we must responsible with ourselves and always avoids the big lose. When we are in trouble in gambling, we can't asks to other people around us because they don't knows that we playing gambling. So we must take care of ourselves by always limiting our gambling activity so we just use gambling for fun.

Indeed, there are definitely people who gamble even though gambling is prohibited in their country, because I think they are certainly very familiar with the internet in their daily lives and financial problems are of course things that are commonplace, and advertisements about the benefits that can be obtained are indeed tempting, moreover, everyone certainly wants quick profits, and gambling is what they choose in this case but all that is there is just an attraction. with those who gamble in secret does not mean they are not addicted to gambling, but the opportunity for them to experience gambling addiction is still there.

indeed maybe it is more about how we act, the action we take is big then the risk is big and the action we take is small then the risk is small as you said, but usually when they have gambled they can't think about the action they are taking, they can take action take big risks without considering the risks first so that it ends up being detrimental to themselves.

Yes buddy, I understand what you mean here that everyone has their own perspective and preferences that make them free to choose whatever they want to do especially gambling, and I also understand that they gamble using their own money and not other people's money, but it is a fact that no matter what bad viewpoint or bad stigma society has towards gambling and towards us when they find out that we are involved in gambling activities at least it can disrupt our lives. On the other hand you can be a person who really doesn't care about what other people say, but humans cannot live alone, they need social relationships with other people which when other people stigmatize us because we are a gambler then there is at least a possibility that people will stay away from us which makes us lose friends for example, and this is the reason why hiding gambling activities is quite recommended.

To avoid the possibility of bad outcomes then yes the key is to be a responsible gambler, but it is a fact that not everyone will believe that you are a responsible gambler especially those who really have a bad view of gambling and most likely they will assume that all gamblers are the same which means they are someone who has a bad personality even if we are able to take good care of ourselves by being a responsible gambler.

If your sister knows it, it means there is a person in your family who understands you gambling habit. It is no problem to let someone knowing your gambling, he can help you if you have a problem with your gambling habit someday. Sometimes, we aren't aware that we have a problem with our habit. If no one knows our habit in gambling, who will remind us if we do a mistake.

Sure, it is no need to tell your mother if it won't be good for you. However, you need to ensure to gamble in the right way. Don't do something stupid in gambling, you will be blamed if you do it someday! Just make it a motivation to keep gambling in a proper way because your mother can't monitor your activity. As long as you don't use her money to gamble, I think it is not wrong if you don't tell her.

Anyway, can I know how old are you? Do you still live with your big family?  

Gambling is not a bad thing but can be considered as one of the main sources of entertainment and passing time. There are many who live a lonely life but gambling is the only good source of entertainment for them. But there are some societies where gambling is banned on religious grounds. There are many religious and professional gamblers who do not identify themselves as gamblers in public. A teacher always hides himself professionally and if people find out that he is a gambler, he will feel humiliated professionally so he always hides. There are many family members who criticize a gambler, so the gambler hides himself from family members so that other family members do not criticize him.

Even though according to state regulations, gambling is considered a legal activity and does not violate the rules, we still cannot avoid the bad stigma given by the general public regarding gambling. Well, maybe this is what makes someone choose to hide their gambling activities, this is done solely to avoid society's negative view of them. Because there is an opinion that gamblers are people who are addicted or greedy, cannot manage their money well, often do negative things and are even involved in criminal acts. This can result in social isolation and a decline in a person's reputation in the eyes of society.

Somebody often hide their gambling activities due to the stigma even if it is a legal act. The reasons are many: the wish to keep their privacy protected, the wish to prevent any conflicts, the need to hold onto their professional reputation and also stay away from negativity. However, it should be acknowledged that not all gamblers are irresponsible or addicted because gambling, when done sensibly, can be enjoyable like any other form of leisure activity.

Only a coward would hide because of what people would say about them. Is gambling not legal in their country? Why hide for something that is not term as bad thing that breaks the law of the country. Even a parent don't has that power to stop an adult from gambling except if their children is a minor and need a guidance and protection from unnecessary gambling activities that will later lead to gambling addiction.

The only way for a gambler to avoid attention from people is gambling online, you don't even need to hide your phone from anyone and you can be gambling stress free. One cool thing about online gambling is that you bet at your convenience as long as you have a working internet and a good internet, you will bet right in your room or bedroom without telling anyone that you gamble.

For what ulterior motive would they want to stay away from people while they are gambling? I guess they are not just in a hideout because they want to attract attention to themselves, they actually have an ulterior motive for staying there to gamble, it  could be that they also doing drugs there too or something else. If gambling is legal in your country, they don't have any reason to hide from anybody or the government because no body will attack them for gambling. It can be understandable if gambling is banned in your country but since it's not, I guess they had an ulterior motive of always hiding.

Hiding or not, its none others business on what are the things that you would really be gonna dealing with whether you are dealing with gambling or other activities. It is really just that there individuals who would really be that too mindful about their image into the community on which they dont really like on getting influenced or tarnished out on the things that they've been doing on which this causes for them to hide themselves into the shadows on which it is really that actually too absurd on having this kind of actions on which its none others business if you do play gambling since its not their money that you are using.
Well, this is someone on personal approach on things because there are ones who dont really like with those kind of conditions and thats why they've decided to hide themselves.

Gambling isnt really that bad and if you dont really like on being the talk in the town then make yourself that responsible. Some people do hide themselves on their own family members on which
there would really be that kind of discrimination or would really be  that scolded on why you do gamble because its such a waste of money. Its normal but there are people who
doesnt really like on such condition and this is why they do hide themselves.

Among my family, of course, no one knows that I play gambling, except for my sister, who also understands a lot in this area and we have common topics, and we also support each other if we have losses. But for example, I definitely don’t want to tell my mother because she simply won’t understand this, she doesn’t have the experience that I have for many years, and of course she will form an incorrect assessment of me. I might have told her, but I’m just sure that it’s better not to do this so as not to cause her additional worries about me.

I literally remembered an example from Thailand that I saw on TV today, betting on cockfights is officially prohibited there, but people still do it and it attracts a lot of gambling men. And the most interesting thing is that the police do not deliberately disperse them, maybe for the better; many people need to let off steam after hard work somehow 

That's also another thing. They have a strict law and it's illegal for them to gamble but they still gamble. Those that are able to hide it are legends if they are in a very tight country about with their laws and implementation of it but still, they are able to find a way for them to gamble.

The consequences will vary on how much you risk, so if you risk small then the consequence of it is also small and vice versa.

I have seen them severally and on different occasions and i have also asked people around too to know their views about the gamblers and everyone repeatedly said that they often hide at that particular spot all the time to gamble and that was what triggered my move to actually ascertain why they are always hiding, only to find out that their hiding skills emerge as a means to keep away from people while they gambling.

I believe also that hiding to gamble is also a measure to drag attention because people will always try every possible means to know why you are in a hidden place and what you are doing there at the odds hours and the reasons behind your hideout, so i suggest that disguising to gamble is not the best option because it makes people see you in different ways and invariably might call you different sorts of names.
