Topic: Why do some people hide to gamble - page 4. (Read 3470 times)

Yes and I think there is nothing wrong with hiding our involvement in gambling from the community or the environment around us especially if we are in a truly anti-gambling environment, one of the reasons is as I mentioned above and you have repeated it correctly. Although hiding gambling is not really recommended but it is an option that is not prohibited to do for its own sake, and maybe when not knowing at all that you are a gambler then when you experience problems such as experiencing a huge loss of money that really makes you down then no one will know about it in the sense that they will also not help you unless you tell them the truth.

This means that even if you hide your involvement in gambling, you still eventually need to tell someone else or one of your closest people to help you when you experience problems as a result of gambling itself, so the point is that this is the reason why we should still treat gambling well and take various actions that are always recommended by everyone that lead to preventive measures regardless of whether you will hide your gambling activities or not.

With many people's views regarding gambling as bad, it is clear that they can consider someone who gambles or is addicted to it as naughty, because their views are mostly negative, not positive. However, with their bad outlook, unfortunately it is not the fault of their gambling, but rather their own fault, who gambled too much until they became addicted to gambling and experienced a lot of financial losses, especially. even though if you look closely, the fault lies with them themselves, not with the gambling because the gambling industry, such as the gambling industry, does not force them to continue gambling until they waste their money. but the loss was done purely by themselves.

Also, with so many bad views on gambling, it is natural for them to hide their gambling because they don't want to be seen by other people if they are gambling because if other people find out then they will be judged badly, including their own family, because with so many cases the impact What's bad is that of course no family will be happy when their family members gamble, let alone become addicted to gambling.

Their reason is makes sense because those people doesn't wants to see some people knows about their gambling activity so hiding their gambling activity is the best thing they will do. They knows what the public opinion about gambling so they don't wants to gets a problem from the public and decides to hide their gambling activity. We knows that gambling can gives many bad things to us so we must realizes that we don't needs to tells about our gambling activity and choose to hides it from them. Yes, people will stay away from us while they knows that we playing gambling, although we don't playing gambling too often and we always take care of ourselves while gambling. But their opinion about people who playing gambling can makes us feels uncomfortable so it's better we stay away from the problem that can occurs.

Apart from that, maybe they are hiding because their environment and country are very against gambling. If you can still say that it is still new, currently online gambling can be said to be quite new and many people are getting to know this gambling online which makes it easier for them to get to know it, and even those who are labeled as having good behavior does not rule out the possibility that they will get to know gambling, maybe they know about gambling because of course they are also involved in their daily lives with the internet where there are lots of advertisements on the internet.
Indeed, with the many cases that have occurred, it can be enough of a lesson for us not to gamble excessively. Apart from that, the consequences of gambling are not small, of course big problems are a guarantee that will happen if they do it excessively, but Even those who gamble in secret doesn't mean they don't have the opportunity to become addicted, of course the opportunity to become addicted to gambling is still there.

Funny but I got your point, there are people who's hindi their gambling participations even they already deeply engage with gambling they keep trying not to be notice as they don't want to be criticize, some do hide their gamblings and try to point fingers to others just to divert the attentions and not to tag them as one of those who already addicted, for many reason there is,  most gamblers doesn't want to feel that shame that's why as long as they can hide it, they will keep on pretending that they are not involve or they already change their direction just to have that clean name in the eyes of those people who loves criticizing a person that's involve to gambling.

This is a negative point of view that is always attached to gambling players and is also influenced by the environment that is indeed against gambling.
Especially in their country or my country, gambling is illegal and so the image is quite negative if someone has a history of gambling.

Keeping gambling a secret and not telling it publicly, it really should be done if the environment we live in is against it.
After all, there is no benefit to them knowing what we are doing at gambling.

Everyone will think that someone who gets into gambling is a criminal and full of problems,
but in fact everyone has their own entertainment including in gambling, and it will still be there at reasonable limits when not being an addict.

The scene you saw is representative of a frequent occurrence in which gaming occurs in secret, away from prying eyes. The shame associated with gambling, the attraction of easy money, and the difficulty in accessing legal options are often the driving forces for this secrecy. On the other hand, illegal gambling impedes efforts to treat gambling addiction and has a number of concerns, such as the potential for exploitation and violence. In order to address this problem and create a safer gaming environment for everyone, it is imperative to encourage open communication, educate people about responsible gaming, and enforce existing restrictions.

Sometimes you will not blame them because some people tagged a gambler as a wayward person, do you know that many people develop hatred to someone who is a gambler, are you aware that any person that's a gambler people do think they are nothing, do release that some people hide and gamble because they don't want their family to know that they are into gambling, their is people who keep secrets of gambling and they don't want people to know exactly that they do participate in gambling, any individual have its plans in gambling. So keeping secret as gambler have another good impact if you're a family person.

I think physical place of gambling is just a weirdo thing to get involve in whether you are an adult or a minor, if you visit their and your parents doesn't like see you there, there is this discomforting feeling you get when you are there and for this reason, I will anyone who think people react differently when they see them in gambling place should seek for online gambling platforms, that way even your close friends wouldn't know that you gamble unless you told them.

Furthermore, I think that if a person is above 18 years old and he doesn't steal money to gamble or take his parent money or just money important about him to gamble, he or she should be free with gambling. It's when parents or people around you know you gamble that you look more safe, they will be quick to guide you and advice you when you are becoming addicted instead of hidding it.

We do know that society does have that kind of negative views and impressions towards gambling and at the moment that they've seen you on playing gambling then that impression would really be passed down
and this is something that we dont really like. This is why even if we are really just that casual gamblers, but still we would really be that tending to hide ourselves to save up on the trouble.
Also it doesnt really give out that good feeling that there's someone who do watches over us.Its not something that we cant really be able to avoid not to think that they would really be having those words
and having those impressions.Even if we do say that we arent that addicted but other people would really be having that different views towards you on which it would really be causing up for you to have
that kind of odd feeling on which we dont really like on having this way.

Even myself is really that hiding my gambling activity from my own family because they do highly despise gambling acts because its something that would really be a waste of money.
On the moment that you do find yourself that getting involvement with it then you would really be having that chance on messing up your life on which its partly true
but if you are someone whose really be having that kind of control then this wont really be that an issue.

Some people don't like to be seen when gambling because they always claim to people that they are not gambler, some behave like that for them to extract money from other inform of doing something reasonable, and funny part of it you will see them criticising gambler when ever other are  talk about them.  Some people usually hide because they always claim that they have changed but since it has become addicted to them, they hide so that his friends or family members will not notice them.

There are reasons why they hide, one of which is because gambling is not a legal game. Religious norms are also the reason why they hide, otherwise they will face punishment from the government or fines.

There are places where you are free to gamble regardless of what people around you say, but there are places where you have to respect local rules if you want to gamble. Many cockfights are held secretly in countries where gambling is not legal, like my country, this is clearly because gamblers do not want to violate the rules and norms that apply in society, including religious norms. But there is always the problem that even if you hide, someone might report you when they find you.

Gambling is often frowned upon in society, so some people hide. And we should not forget that the legislation of many countries prohibits gambling just anywhere. For this purpose there are strictly designated places and only in them it is allowed to play. This applies equally to online and offline games. It is unlikely that anyone would want to break any law, so just in case they prefer not to gamble at least in public.

Yes that's the only reason that sounds reasonable about why a gambler hides his gambling activities is like you said that they don't want other people to know that they are a gambler, and I think that action is quite reasonable for a gambler to do because after all it is a fact that the public's viewpoint is quite bad towards gambling so they prefer to hide it in order to avoid bad stigma and various criticisms, and in my opinion this is indeed the best choice to avoid various criticisms from other people, And the other benefit is that you won't have social relationship problems with other people when other people don't know that you are a gambler, because in some cases especially in my neighborhood usually people will stay away from you when they find out that you are a gambler, the reason is because they don't want you to ask them for a loan, because they know that someone who is involved in gambling usually they tend not to have good responsibilities especially if they are already addicted.

That is true, they don't want to be embarrassed in front of their family because he might have been thought to be a good guy. And that's the bad thing on this society that when they know that you're a gambler, you're already a bad guy. Thanks to those irresponsible gamblers that have lost their stuff, their family, lifesavings and even jobs. They are made as the example of this and that's why it's not a good thing to see when one family member is a gambler. This is based on our society.

There is certainly no better reason as to why someone would prefer to hide their gambling and as you said that they don't want their family to know that they are involved in gambling, and not only that, they also don't want the general public to know that they are involved in gambling especially if they are in a country that actually prohibits gambling. And on the other hand I think that even if they only gamble occasionally but I think still if they gamble in a place that is far from the general public and do it secretly then it is clearly still possible.
say that they are gambling secretly.

Using time to gamble unintentionally is like the scenario you described above where they are confused without any activity to do while hanging out with friends then yes it is possible, but I think it is clear that from the beginning they were a gambler, and the reason is clear you have also said above that at that time they spontaneously gambled, meaning that there was nothing else on their mind but gambling when they had free time without activity. Because actually
there are many other things they can do such as playing online games without risk or listening to music, but what they remember is gambling.

I believe some people hide to gamble for two reasons. The first is law and legality, and the second is social stigma. If you live in a country that prohibits or strictly regulates gambling, it is clear that you gamble in hiding to avoid arrest and punishment. And in some societies, gambling is still considered a negative behavior. So it makes people who gamble worry about negative views from family, friends or the local community so they choose to hide when gambling.

They can have many reasons why they hides their gambling activity. But one thing that we can thinks that's because they don't wants other people knows about their gambling activity so they hides in that place when they playing gambling. They only wants to saves their time by playing gambling in a hidden place because they will not see other people in that place so they can playing gambling with calm. They will not feels good if other people sees them playing gambling and they will tells many reasons why they are in that place. Many people hides their gambling activity because they don't wants their family knows that they are playing gambling in fronts of them. Besides that, hiding their gambling activity is a choice for those who doesn't wants to show their gambling activity to other people.

The main reason is family, that's all. People who start gambling will hide from their families. they didn't want anyone else, whether their friends or neighbors to know they are a gambler, because they didn't want their gambling activities to ruin relationship with their families. When it comes to regulations, They can easily skip them. they can play at home, right? But why they are hiding from their families, because they doesn't want his family to know about that. so they are tried to hide from anyone who knew them. Family factors are the dominant factor why gamblers hide.

Do you often find them hiding in that place while gambling, if so, maybe they do this so that their family doesn't get caught gambling, but if they only occasionally gamble in that place, it could be that they are not actually hiding to gamble, but because they They didn't know what to do when they were hanging out with their friends, so they spontaneously decided to gamble at that place and have fun while telling long stories with their friends.
