hiding gambling is based on your own understanding within your environment so many people who hide and the Gamble they do that based on did not like people to notice that yes there are a gambler I have not seen anything wrong keeping gambling in secret on your own so I basically known gambling is all about what you planned for and what you want to achieve
Keeping gambling a secret from other people is a very natural thing even though gambling site owners actually really want more people to gamble so that their gambling place can be known by many people. Because sometimes the people we keep secrets from are also gamblers, even though maybe they don't gamble in the same place as we have been doing all this time. But still, if there is someone who doesn't want himself to be known as a gambler, then he starts to create walls between other people about this, even though for me this is a normal thing and doesn't need to be done as long as the environment we live in is still safe enough.
Gamblers who secretly engage into gambling are not making any other mistake than isolating their gambling habit. Which idea, is not good and could affect the player in future. This is necessary, because gambling addiction doesn't give a warning before it affects a player. However, the need to stay hidden when gambling can be to help other non gamblers to stay away from gambling. They are some people who would know about our gambling habit and will join immediately. Hence, it's crucial to play where nobody will see us only when we have such purpose of safeguarding unqualified people like kids from engaging into gambling. It's also good for a player to share his gambling habit with his friends, expecially fellow gamblers. Who can relay any trouble that arises in future to the gambler's family.
As for me, I really do understand why most people hide their gambling activities, because in some localities, gambling activities is being frown at, and when you are seen gambling, you will be seen as an irresponsible person that will eventually be made wretched by your gambling activities one day.
Like in my own locality, if you go into any of the local betting shop, almost all the people engaging in serious football betting activities are poor people's, because they See's it as a means of income, and the more they put in more effort, the more they are being wreck financially by it, and to tell you the truth, you will hardly see any rich person gambling with the intention of making money, because almost all rich people knows that it's not the best way of making money, they only do it for fun, it's mostly the poor people that sees gambling as a means of making money, so people most hide their gambling activities, so that they wouldn't lose respect, from people that respected them so much, because gambling is tag as irresponsible activities.
