Your neighbours are very lucky. It is not every man that has a great relationship with their spouse. Situations like are possible where the husband and wife have a good understanding and love eachother. They help, support and lookout for eachother. In gambling it is no different. We know that it is not all about playing slots, roullete and other casino games. Some spouse may also want to start a social media page on gambling, write a book about gambling and what have you. A supportive spouse makes everything easy.
The lie is simply needed so that the wife does not ask unnecessary questions and does not think that we are dependent. Therefore, our brain comes to such unusual simplification and cunning. If we tell the wife the truth, we can spend hours listening to questions from the wife. For example, why do we do this and play, where do we get the money to play and many other similar questions, there will be a thousand of them. Not everyone can stand it and decide to lie, although I never liked telling a lie to anyone in different situations. However, if the wife ultimately understands that we are lying to her and says that she is not against it, then she is the best Grin

That's unhealthy. But for men this is normal. Cheesy We keep our secrets to ourselves that is why I am kind of curious on why this guy told  his secret on social media. Perhaps his wife won't know about it but still, it could become our weakness.
I tell my wife lies everyday but it's more of white lies, jokes, and made up stories. All of it has a reason and most of the time it's to make her smile or laugh. I don't like an environment with a heavy feeling. Lighter is better as it makes the whole house positive and it becomes a home.
When it comes to gambling, I don't tell lies because it's money related. As much as possible she would know how I spent the money.
Very sweet of you. At least you choose having a home rather than having a house filled with sad people. Gambling can twist someone who is sincere and honest into someone who wont stop telling lies everyday. And this is as a result of  gambling addiction or perhaps other gambling habit which has planted a negative seed in the heart of the gambler.

In my opinion i feel its normal telling your wife most things especially things that troubles you. Its biblical that the both of you are now one and to share in both pains and happiness. If one is certain in the kind of wife he has, he would have relief and good advice with support from his wife to quit some gambling habit.

There are really things which we cant really be able to tell into our wives on which it would really be that something that will really be that not healthy i should say specially if you do keep on hiding just because you are doing something that your wife doesnt known and its not something that i dont really like for me to do and it would be better that you should really be making out some confession that you've been dealing with gambling and this is something that you should really be doing in the first place.

Its really that totally different if you are living a life with your wife without having any secrets or any hiding on which you could really be freely and confidently be dealing up with things
as long you do say on what you are doing. Although there are really things which isnt really that needed to be told but keeping up secrets and making up some gambling or
those kind of behavior when you are on bathroom then this is an another story.

Hi gamblers, greetings to everyone..

So today, I was scrolling through my reddit feed, and I came across this post in the screenshot I share below..


There is nothing wrong about it as long as it is not one of a marital offence. It is just some source of where the guy derives fun which of course the wife may as well have Source by which she feels fun especially when the husband is not around.

I don't see gambling being an issue to a responsible married man as far as he is also doing the gambling stuffs in the responsible manner. So he can go ahead and tell the wife but should not make the wife feel that the bedtimes with Hera's claimed was not necessary or remarkable.

The wife on her own may even tend to also tell the husband probably that she enjoys doing the house chores especially dealing on the delicacies in a quiet time when alone.
So it does not make any offence of couple telling each other how they finds fun at their leisures.

There were a time when I lied about the amount that I lost in gambling, so that it wouldn't be such a big deal or cause a drama.
I also used to lie that it was just a normal match or game even though the match/game has money involve.
That was all the lies that I used back then that I could remember.

I think this is worse than being addicted to gambling. That is to tell lies especially to people who are truly important to you. Because communication is the most important thing right? And if you don't tell all the things that are happening to you especially the bad days, then they won't be able to give you the help and support that you need mentally and emotionally when you are going through that period of difficulties.

And in fact if they truly cares for you, they won't judge you and instead would help and understand your situation.
what he said is not telling a lie, there are people that can't understand you when you tell them you've lost a certain amount in gambling. You don't have to tell them how much you used in gambling except it's your spouse and even though the person in this situation is your spouse, it's still not right to tell her plainly that you have lost certain amount of money because some people are not emotionally strong enough to handling such issues and so it becomes deficult to trust them with the outcome of your gambling most expecially when it happens that you lost some money in the process of gambling.

If our partner finds out that we are actively gambling and spending a lot of money, we will certainly be angry, on the other hand, if we win, they will be happy and enjoy it.  Roll Eyes

Sounds like one partner must ask other partner for acceptance to do something. Such relationships isnt healthy. If a husband ask wife if he could go out gambling, go fishing or with friends to bar, then in such relationship wife has balls Cheesy Imho it is correct no to ask something, but warn. Warn husband or wife that you will be gambling, you will take 100 bucks and we can afford that, and that is it. Warning others that you gamble might save from loosing to much in one night. Also, lying to someone that is very close you, that is totally wrong. If I lie to my wife, I would feel uncomfortable after that. But in general, why would an adult hide that he gambles? Absurd to me.

You are able to save your ass now but it was not a good excuse and thing to do especially if you are a family man. We better be transparent with our partner as this already involves money. It is worse when your partner knows it from others, so please don't do it again. I'd rather pretend to be busy but I was gambling already than not tell that I've lost for I'm sure, my partner could able to understand. But in your situation, I couldn't imagine how can take a look straight into her eyes.

Yes, we need to be responsible in all things as much as possible. Our partners could understand us (gamblers) if we don't hide it but of course, must also listen to our partners as well.

I understand that you do that to keep yourself safe and your wife doesn't nag you if you are actually gambling, but if your wife knows that there is a history of expenses from your mbanking, what should you say?? Grin Actually, it's okay if you keep your gambling a secret by telling your wife untrue things so that you are free from her nagging. But you also have to understand how to stop and not overdo it if you want to gamble so that your wife doesn't get suspicious if you take out money from your card. Just imagine if you make a large deposit for gambling, your wife will definitely be suspicious and ask what the money is for, maybe if you win it's no problem you can replace it, but if you lose, what should you do to cover up your mistake for keeping it a secret?

I never lie about anything I want to do, even for gambling, my wife always knows when I am gambling because she believes that I can control her well so she doesn't worry if I will go beyond the limits, after all I always ask for recommendations about football betting and asked my wife who was likely to win even though my wife actually didn't know anything about football, usually I relied on her luck but she always advised me not to take risks by betting large amounts and I obeyed.

Every gambler at some point have done crazy stuffs in their gambling adventures, which includes lying about their gambling behaviour or outcomes, and it takes a lot of courage to share such experiences to others, especially people who aren't gamblers like you because sometimes it can be really hard for them to understand that it's actually a very common behaviour for gamblers, especially those who are actually struggling with addiction and so they lie about them to conceal or minimize the truth in some way to avoid being judged by people.

There are others who lie because they avoid having an argument with their husbands, they don't want to be criticized, or they also think that it will be a shame for their family when it comes to their relatives.

As for me, I don't really tell my husband, but when I win, I say that I won gambling here in crypto, but I don't say that I gamble often for a month because I know if my wife will be angry with me.
The story you describe actually didn't just happen to you. I think everyone is like that. will talk when he wins, and keep quiet when he loses. even lying when they lose to keep a fight from happening.

Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.
Interesting story, this is the first time I have read a story about someone losing gambling and lying to his wife unprofessionally, it looks funny.
My understanding is that this person is not good at lying, he should not have told his wife that he had been robbed, maybe he could have found another reasonable reason, so that his wife could believe where the money he used went.

That's why I often say here, gamble professionally and use your side money to gamble, don't use salary money or money whose source your wife knows, that way you will be safe from an economic perspective in your household, so you don't have to be suspicious and fight.

Gambling if we don't control and think about the risks that could happen to our lives, of course gambling will create disaster for ourselves, gamble as much as we can and keep thinking about the risks that will happen.

All types of addicts start lying to their friends and relatives in order to cover their addiction.
If this lie can keep you safe for a while, I don't think it's a problem. However, it is better when you lie to cover up your losses in gambling, you also instill in yourself not to gamble anymore.
If you lie but still have thoughts of recovering your losses, over time the lie will be revealed and you will lose everything, including money and the trust of the people around you.

There are others who lie because they avoid having an argument with their husbands, they don't want to be criticized, or they also think that it will be a shame for their family when it comes to their relatives.

As for me, I don't really tell my husband, but when I win, I say that I won gambling here in crypto, but I don't say that I gamble often for a month because I know if my wife will be angry with me.

Suppose when I start gambling I must lie because when my family asks me about these things but I can't directly tell my family that I am involved in gambling. That's why I can't discuss these things with my family because my family will never accept my gambling rather they don't like gambling. Since they don't like gambling, when they ask me about my work, I have to tell them that I'm not playing online games or that I'm freelancing. That is, I have to hide so much from my family and play gambling.
I think before, we can easily know when someone is gambling but now it's hard to know if someone  is a gambler because of how the Internet have token over the local casinos that's why under age people can be gambling right under your nose and you won't know because they make use of the internet only. It's because you are using the internet to gamble that's why you can be able to gamble secretly. However, I would advise you not to get addicted to gamble because it will be hard for you to stop as you are a secret gambler.
The existence of the internet makes it easy for many people to hide their gambling activities. They can gamble secretly in their room so that no one knows. They also don't need to visit local casinos around their city because by gambling at online casinos, they can hide it from other people. And maybe this is what makes many people lie to other family members when they want to gamble by saying they will do something. But they should understand that it can trigger gambling addiction if they cannot control themselves when gambling. They gamble secretly without anyone knowing, so if they can't limit themselves to gambling, they will only become addicted to gambling later.

Yes of course, I usually gamble online and my family know about this but I always told them that I always lose and I only place a small bet weekly just for entertainment but they didn't know that most of the time I do gamble and somewhat winning but it's true that I only deposit a small amount and work my way up (I won but not that high less than $300) but I started somewhere $30-$40, yeah it's just small but it's just for entertainment but there's a time before that I won $1000 from around $100 that I have and told them I am losing, because I know it would jinx if I told them that I am winning.

I now know the main reason why you guys brought your phones in the cr. 😅 I think you should tell your wife about that so she was always there to beat you when you started to get addicted to gambling. Kidding aside. 😆 I mean not the word "beat" but just to remind you to not go beyond your limits. I know she will understand you because you are honest not unless you didn't tell her and you're caught in the act. 😅

Hi gamblers, greetings to everyone..

So today, I was scrolling through my reddit feed, and I came across this post in the screenshot I share below..
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/23/jeFxG.jpeg

After reading that post, I quickly remembered what I did some years back when I was still pretty much new to gambling and was kind of obsessed with it at that time, I remember it was on Sunday late morning after we came back from church, I darely needed to play some gambling game, but the children were running around the house making lots of noise, the little one will not stop climbing me, we've already had breakfast and my wife was busy watching a movie.
I left her and the children in the sitting room, took my phone and laptop and went into our third room reserved for visitors and locked myself in there, and started gambling, I was playing slot and casino games, and in between, I was also analyzing some upcoming sports matches to find suitable ones to place bet on.

More than 1 hour later, my wife came looking for me, and possibly was surprised i locked myself in the guest room, she inquired to know why, I told her I was studying some very important course online, and needed no disturbance at all, that was why I went to the guest room, she stood there, whether she believed or not, I do not know, I just know that she went her way after some seconds 😂😂.

So, when I came across that post on reddit, I couldn't help but laugh really hard, and also imagined how many of us gamblers out there are telling one lie or the other just to cover up our gambling habit..

I have a friend who lost a huge amount of money to gambling, and returning home that night, he lied to his wife that he was robbed, when the woman (being suspecious) asked why he was not beaten by the robbers, he got angry at her and almost beat her that night 🤣.

Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.

Common lies that I told:

1. A friend needed money
2. I didn’t gamble today
3. I'll never gamble again

It depends on who is asking if it's my wife I will try to be honest because it is hard to lie to your wife and if it's a friend who laughs at you every time I lose, I will tell the other way around that I won big and treat all my co-workers, if it's in the office I will not tell them that I gamble a lot because it might affect my trust rating and reputation.

You can tell white lies depending on who you telling it and the circumstances but don't tell a lie to people close to you because they have the right to know.
