I think keeping your activities as a gambler a secret is also a positive thing when you try to keep it a secret because in this case the treatment or view of each person to gamblers is a little different. I don't know about other countries but in the country I live in, especially in the area I live in, the stigma of "gambler" is seen as someone who has a bad habit and is viewed differently.
Even though there is no prohibition for us to gamble because it is the right of each person but still the view will be bad so that when we say clearly that we are a gambler then surely we will be labelled as a bad person.
For some people it may not be a problem and tend to ignore people's judgement but for others of course it is very disturbing so it is better to keep it secret than we end up being seen differently.

Gambling is something that has natural forces whereby you may not know when to showcase yourself as a gambler but whenever the discussion are being carried out by friends you don't know when you would join the discussion freely and exposed yourself as a gambler. One thing about gamblers they are not always hidden no matter any circumstances you still can reveal yourself without knowing you had already did, what just matters is that we should only be mindful with the way we discussed with friends especially when A knows about your gambling nature it's very easy for B go know you gambles because it could be leaked by A that you are a gambler. So what I am trying to say is that it's very difficult to remain unrevealed about your gambling habit hence you are much more at risk of being exposed to people out there all less don't associates with friends and relatives.

I think by looking at the statement you made, it indirectly suggests that it depends on the situation whether we will hide our identity or admit directly that we are a gambler. I agree with this because when we discuss with a friend who is a gambler then I don't think we need to cover ourselves that we are also a gambling player but on the other hand when we talk to people who are not gamblers then we should not admit that we are a gambler because surely the judgement will be different.

Keeping your gambling habit a secret is at some point important and necessary because some persons can really become dramatic and discriminate you when the get to know you gamble but then it's really funny how they would love to benefit from the proceeds you make from gambling with you, nevertheless don't make it know to such persons if you have them around.

In oder to avoid that stereotypes and be seen in a perspective you wouldn't find comfortable and ideal it's advised you keep your gambling habit a secret when necessary but amongst your fellow gambler where you are sure of not been judged you can speak up as you can as well share ideas which can be of great help in the way you approach gambling.

It's sad that most persons have a stereotype for gamblers due to what have been seen of some gamblers out there who probably got addicted and became a menace to the society or probably resulted in unhealthy practice, this has made people find it difficult to believe that there are people who healthy engage in gambling and still have themselves under control.

This is true so even if someone admits that he is a gambler openly and does not really care about the opinions of others it is also something that can be done but it would be better if we keep our activities as a gambler secret because in the end it will also be very good to do especially if we do not want to be bothered by the views of others about ourselves who are considered negative even though we have not done anything wrong because in the end when someone becomes a gambler it is their right.
