It is true that gambling just to entertain themselves and have fun will be fun, but in fact what is done to gambling addicts who hope for luck to be able to change their fate, sounds very ridiculous and makes no sense, but the reality is a fact.
And it's true, if a gambler can't control his finances, he will most likely soon lose all his money and from that incident people will think that he is a gambler. Because before he looked cheerful and had lots of money, after he lost all his possessions he looked worried and miserable.
If they treat gambling as entertainment, they can enjoy it and will not try to chase something difficult to obtain. But if they want to change their fate through gambling, they must realize they do not have a great chance of winning a lot of money. They could only have a chance of losing and could even lose their entire bankroll if they didn't stop it soon. A gambler can only play gambling as usual without thinking about his victory. Maybe later or the day after, his win will come, so he must be patient and keep playing calmly so that his emotions don't get provoked and he doesn't use much money. People who hide their gambling activities have the opportunity to become addicted to gambling because they will rarely interact with other people and tend to close themselves off from conversations with other people. And they can lose a lot of money if they cannot control their gambling.
But I guess it's the question on how you are going to keep it safe for you and not everyone knowing that you are a gambler. Of course maybe online you can do it, but if you want gambling to be fun then it should be on landbase wherein you can go out with your friends.
Personally, I've seen people who I thought that they are not into gambling, like in the education system, or even some that i knew on the government offices. But I just keep a tight lip and not tell everyone what I saw on a landbase casinos.
Doing online gambling or real gambling on land which has been done by many people in general, one day you will surely be caught if you cannot keep your defeats or wins a secret in a relaxed and indifferent manner when interacting with other people around them. . .
Yes, you made the right move, because not everyone will accept that gambling can be your way of keeping quiet so you don't tell your colleagues, that's very good, because it concerns your own privacy and it doesn't take a lot of people to do it. know about it.
