No one would like to disclose the actual status of his own gambling situation. That is why you should not be moved or tempted when you heard cases of flamboyant winnings. Gamblers are found of exaggerating their winnings in order to prove expertise. Discreet is a keyword in gambling. No one disclose his own real status in gambling.
