So, maybe the winner may not even share if they win something, it may look like "just 500" for all that trouble but we all know that's a lot of money for a lot of people and begging even 50 bucks is like a full time job because if you find a few people who can pay you that, which you won't, you are set for the whole month in some nations.
Either way, you should never brag about how much you've won, certainly not here on the Internet via forums or chats. There are enough companies that specialize in finding out the true identity behind forum accounts. If an account writes about how much he or she has won, this can be a real problem in "real life".
For example, I know a few people who were attacked by the Ledger hack last year. A text message with "I know where you live, transfer me 1 BTC otherwise I'll get your wife" is enough ...
Bragging specially your winnings on gambling or any sort of things you've been dealing is never been a good idea.You dont know on whose eyes been following you and would make out some focus
on tracing you up and would find ways on where they could really take advantage.Some people might not really be that alarmed or doesnt really care at all but
once things do happen then regrets do always come in the end.
Better to be lowkey and cherish out if you are really that earning that much or being profitable specially on gambling field.
I agree, its better not to brag our winnings and just keep it to ourselves for our own safety.
We dont know the capability of those people who are envy and has bad intention towards us thus its better to be safe than sorry.
This is also one of the reason why lottery winners are often anonymous because of the huge amount involved thus protecting the identity is necessary.
