Most factors that affects gamblers to hide his participation into gambling is the kind of environment which can't embrace the reality that there are people who involve themselves into gambling and some can manage to balance life and wisely earn decently, they are not vocable with their gambling participation and they choose to hide it.

Knowing that there are criticism that will circulate and they are not willing to face such kinds of confrontations.

If it is from the environment, those who live in that environment will only give a bad assessment of someone who gambles. According to them, people who gamble will only have a bad influence on their environment. They will also advise people who gamble to immediately stop gambling so that no one will experience gambling addiction, especially in their environment. It is difficult to stay in that environment because they already judge gambling as something bad even though they forget that there are people who can control themselves well and use gambling wisely.

There is more to the whole dance of concealment and self-esteem than just loss. Consider this: a professional gambler's credibility is correlated with their ability to forecast results. It's practically algorithmic. Lose something, and your credibility declines. Is it really that easy, though? Not at all

Those who bet, particularly those regarded as "analytical maestros," are always under observation. It's not just about the sadness of a past loss; it's also about the never-ending questioning, the unbearable murmurs, and the mocking looks from colleagues, A throbbing subterranean of social pressures is at work here. It's more important to keep your reputation spotless than it is to feel guilty about losing

Regarding the secrecy, it's a complex concoction of environmental judgment and loss aversion. Gambling is a nuanced symphony of psychology, strategy, and pure gut feeling; it's more than simply dice and cards

And those who are used to criticism from their environment will not respond to what other people say. They won't think about it as long as they don't bother him in real life and only in words. Maybe one day, they will move to another place because they can't stand the environment and can't accept it well. For this reason, maybe they tend to hide their gambling activities from other people because they don't want to go against the people in their environment.

They will choose to keep their mouths shut by not saying anything about their gambling activities. It will be better for them because they can carry on with their usual activities and won't be disturbed by people from their environment. And they can also continue their gambling activities in peace without anyone disturbing them.

Yes, that's right, most people will hide their gambling from other people, because they think that some people cannot accept it (about gambling) because some people think that gambling will have a negative impact, but in my opinion there are some people who want to tell about their gambling. are brave people, why not? sometimes a person will only talk to certain people who he considers to be his angelic helpers and maybe by telling these people the burden experienced by gamblers will feel lighter because someone responds well.

That's because the people around him will immediately say bad things about gambling and will probably set real examples of people who have experienced gambling addiction. This can be done to make people aware who have started gambling so that they can stop gambling. But if someone can control himself well and can be wise in playing gambling, it is likely that he will not listen to other people and will continue to play gambling as usual and will pay more attention to his activities properly.
