Well, that is something that many gambling addicts take into consideration, because if we gamble in secret then most likely we will not be able to control our gambling because there is no one to advise us when we gamble excessively, and you are right. That over time we will become gambling addicts because all we chase is victory and ignore defeat.
And if we don't have self-control when gambling, then it is true that the money we have will be lost and this will cause problems for our family.
By gambling in secret, our chances of remaining stable in gambling may disappear along with the circumstances that will happen to us so we may also become out of control. We just don't want to receive negative responses from the environment, making us hide our gambling activities from others. But for closed, people, they may feel comfortable doing something and feel free because no one will give them any feedback. They seemed to be in their own world and nothing disturbed them. But if they then gamble, it could give them the possibility of becoming addicted to gambling. However, it is difficult to explain to people who hide their gambling activities that they do not need to gamble secretly because it could have bad consequences for them. But those of us who live with them must not say that they will fall into gambling. Instead, we must embrace them and invite them to reduce their gambling activities so they do not experience gambling addiction.
