Hi gamblers, greetings to everyone..
..........

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

Hi also.... Wink

I lied because I wanted to gamble safely. Where I live, gambling is considered a negative activity, and so are some members of my family. And to maintain harmony in the family, I try to cover up these activities by not gambling when I'm at home. And who knows what will happen next, if my gambling activities are discovered by them, because after all the lies will definitely be discovered too. just like a carcass, because no matter how clever we are at hiding it, in the end the smell will still be smelled. This is all just a matter of time, and hopefully when they find out that I am a gambler, this will not affect harmony in the family, but before that happens, in the next few days I will try to be brave and honest with what I am doing. That seems better than them finding out about the gambling activities I do from other people.

Sometimes we need to lie in order to to prevent such things happen and those lie called white lies. For example we need to hide our from our family members so we won't let them know that we are in involve in gambling so we make some lies I orde to prevent our secret safe. But in reality I don't think that lies is the answer of our problems cause I think that telling the truth is the best thing to do in order to preserve the trust that built for several years. Cause when we lie on them and then they will surprisely know then the trust will broke.

I've only ever lied when holding my phone thinking I was playing a game when I was gambling, but when my wife asked what you were doing “playing Cand Rush” Grin

You have a friend who lies almost exactly like my own friend, but he confessed to his wife he lost money on the road while driving but what happened he spent all his money playing slots, in order to protect himself then the friend said to protect himself.

Many stories are habitual to cover gambling in any way, they do this not wanting to be stressed after losing a lot in question by other members, even though this is bad behavior there are still many people doing this habit.

so many people tells lies to cover up their shit, so that is what I mean by some persons because if you are married and you are a gambler who gambles almost everyday you will recover yourself up when you have spent the money that you are supposed to spend in your family and you spend the money outside the family based on gambling you must have one or two things to cover up the lies so that they will not be a problem between you and your wife, that's the reason why men tell lies

We do tell lies if we do see that it isnt really that affecting on things on which would really be gonna be affected but on the time that if things turns out to be obvious and your partner would already be making out those kind of questions because of suspicions then how you would gonna handle it? There would really be times or moments that you would really be gonna fucked up yourself hard. People do believe that they could really be able to solve out the problem without telling and just simply quitting or stopping once they've seen such problems but on the time comes that it did happen then this is where you would really be realizing that it wasnt that easy to make out such act.

This isnt really just that limited on gambling but also in other things as well on which we do really trying out to cover up our shit which we know that this is something that could really be resulting
into some potential trouble or simply the other one didnt really like nor let you to deal with it. It would really be just that depending on such situation yet
not all would really be that wise on making up such decisions on every condition.

I never lied to cover up my gambling habits, because I don't think it's necessary. When you lie you are attracting bad karma for your future, so it's definitely not an alternative if you want to to walk a good path in life. In practical words, it means that when you lie, you are creating relationships where people won't feel comfortable to trust you. They will have a negative view regards you when you lie to them. Therefore, your presence won't be valued anymore, just like your opinions, statements and promises. It creates an environment of unstability which inevitably will destroy the family on long run.

Maybe for some people these little lies are fun and reasons for jokes, although in fact they aren't, and shouldn't be encouraged, even if done once in a while. Moreover, lies to cover up gambling practice can be very dangerous, because once the family members identify the patriarch of the family is having issues with his gambling habits, it can be too late, because the money lost may be already a large sum of the total funds they have disponible. So, be careful with harmless lies, as in the end they might not be so harmless like it seemed for first.

You could possibly say that such a lie could be deemed a white lie—those insignificant ones that we say to avoid hurting others or because the truth is more complicated to explain. Although I also believe that it's best to be open and straightforward, lying can put you in difficult situations if you're caught, because eventually you will be. However, this isn't the worst part; I find it extremely saddening that the favorite part of the person in the Reddit post is to hide in the toilet in order to gamble, or generally speaking, to be forced to hide what you're doing.

I understand your point completely, sometimes in oder to avoid too much explanations that will arise from telling the truth because sometimes they may not be able to understand completely the truth the way it is especially when it has to do with gambling like this, sometimes people just like the reddit guy will just hide to even avoid bringing to the knowledge of others about their gambling habits so they don't get t o lie or even defend a truth that's been told. Sometimes these are just mechanism to help them still maintain their relationships which they still find very important to them away from gambling so in other to protect it they keep the drama away.

I think it will be even more helpful if it can be spoken about with their patterns probably in a way that you get them to understand that you gat it in control and it wouldn't be detrimental to the family because most times the fear of the effects of gambling to the family could be reasons why some patterns will want to condemned and criticize the habit.

Why he act like he broke a very critical thing? come on, a lot people lies almost everyday!

If you have a food and beverage business, will you tell someone about the secret of your business e.g. your supplier, the ingredients, cooking skills, and your profit every month if they ask it?

Same to this case, lying if the best time is into a bed with her is fine, but it's just not okay for you that you're an addict and not want to cure your addiction.

I feel like his wife needed that lie Wink

He's probably a weirdo if he's really waiting to lock himself with his phone, regardless of what he's doing there, pooing, masturbating, or gambling.
Yes' we sometimes have to lie because people expect that from us. They don't want to hear the truth.

I've never lied about gambling because I do it with my own money and I use cryptocurrencies so nobody knows how much I won or lost. It doesn't affect my social life and finances, since I consider money put aside for gambling as lost. If someone ever asks me about it, I won't lie (unless it's the IRS Cheesy

).

Those are very funny stories that shows how soms gamblers are dedicated to gambling.
Personally, I never lied about my gambling habits to anyone, maybe because I wasn't in a situation where I had to. From the very first beginning I have told my girlfriend about my gambling activities, she handled that very well surprisingly and we ever gamble often together which makes it ×10 times better than gambling alone in secret.

I think what pushes some gamblers to lie about their gambling habits is the feeling of shame and being shy to tell others about it because of the fear of their reaction about it. It is totally normal to gamble, it is a fun entertaining activity, we should just be careful and know when to stop and when to gamble and how to manage our own actions.

Yeah you are correct, you know most times we as woman we often tends to know the way about our husbands money although it depends since I joined here I have never took much part to what my husband does with his money, provided that he has his part to play in the family correctly I don't kill myself over his instead I focused here after doing necessary things needed to be done at home then I can make out time and chances to read here all though..

Most men who lies at those are addicted gambler, let say they fails to carry out their responsibility as Menh or as woman at home when there weekly or monthly allocation are being given to them to adequate care of the family and they went ahead wasting into gambling, at this point they could be pushed to cook up a story as lies to defend themselves which I think is not necessary to do that rather open up.

Well that's because you're independent of your husband's money and you have a busy schedule that makes you not to have the time to monitor how he spends his money since you're busy making yours and how he spends doesn't affect the family, in a case where he doesn't provide or complain of being broke often I bet you'll be very worried and willing to know what he puts his money into or how he spends it rather.

Well I don't think it's only the addicted gamblers that lie about their gambling habit to their spouse, their are some individuals who are comfortable to open up to their spouse cause not everyone would be happy to hear that who they're married to or in a relationship with is a gambler, it could be okay for men cause majority of men are into gambling whether open or secret, some even gamblers with their friends when they play snooker games but for a woman I don't think not all men would tolerate their wives to gamble.

You can only get yourself involved with lies when your partner don't know whether you are a gambler or not but truth be told, when there's lapses you would look for an alternative to cover oneself up because you know if you don't defend yourself definitely there must be questions that would arise later or sooner how where about you spent money.

I think the contrary since if my partners don’t know that I’m gambling then I don’t need to lie just to cover up what I’m doing since she doesn’t have any suspicion on my gambling habit. I believe I will be more often lying if my partner knew about my habit since woman is known for being nosy to everything that we do especially if it’s gambling.

I personally don’t lie about my gambling habits since there’s nothing to be ashamed as long as I’m using my funds properly while I can still sustain properly our daily expenses and other necessities.

Lying about gambling only means that the person is not doing well on his gambling venture.

Nope- I do not think I have lied with anything related to gambling as I am very open with anyone who asks me about my experiences.

When I used to gamble, I actually tell everything to my friends and family so that they would know my experience. Even if I experience something that is negative, I always tell them the truth since I believe that they deserve to know everything. Not to mention, by telling my experiences, they could also discern and decide whether they want to try gambling or not.

On the story that you provided OP, it was painful for me to read it. I think our partners deserve to know everything even if it is something that could affect the overall relationship. If you lie on the small things, that could escalate and create a snowball effect into something bigger- a lie that can transcend into different small lies that would eventually evolve into a bigger problem in the future.

You could possibly say that such a lie could be deemed a white lie—those insignificant ones that we say to avoid hurting others or because the truth is more complicated to explain.

But how about you and your wife to gamble together if you have the time so that you can know when to stop by encouraging yourselves and telling yourselves the amount of money that is small that you should use to gamble. I noticed some people on this forum always say something like they are hiding their gambling activities from their partners but not everyone. If it is done wisely and responsibly, a woman can easily be convinced. But some people can be afraid of their wife not to get addicted also.

It is not all women that will like to try gambling to see if they will enjoy the fun, and also some women can get very mad at you when you just mention the word gamble. This is because, they feel it is something bad and for irresponsible people because they have seen people that gambled irresponsible and got frustrated with addiction. I refer to keep my gambling activities secret from my wife, so that I can continue to enjoy gambling or else, I might not be able to gamble whenever I feel like gambling. I have said some lies just to cover up for gambling.

Men can tell their fell men about their gambling life but I have a big doubt that a woman can tell her fellow women that she gamble. Men can understand things so quick but it's hard for a woman to know the truth in gamble. However they must have think that Gambling is bad because they must have seen some addicted gamblers that's irresponsible towards their own family. Every women don't want to here when someone lose their money on bet, all what they want to hear is the winning and I feel thats the reasons why it might be very difficult for women to gamble for entertainment purposes (not all women though).

Keep that asides, and as gambler you shouldn't hide anything from your wife, just take for example as me, initially I was scared to relate with my husband about my involvement in gambling and that leads me to go create a topic and after some reasonable answer from people over here and the other forum I decided to tell him and guess what?

It wasn't a bad respond rather he understood and bear with me although I don't do what will totally override me or put me in a tension whereby I can't be able to control myself and feeling towards gambling in a way it could results to lies or lying to my partner.

indeed, sometimes we need to lie to be able to cover up sensitive things like that, because not all wives understand what their husband is going through, maybe he is bored and needs entertainment and maybe gambling is one way to get pleasure. but even so, gambling must be done responsibly, so that it does not become a problem for our partner and instead it will destroy our relationship with her.

Actually, this will be the start of the problem.
We tell them lies but they actually know the truth and it's written all over our faces that we are making a story and lying to our teeth. Do it over and over again and I bet you will see bags that are packed the next day.
If two people have been through thick and thin, I surely know that they know each other and they will have no trouble identifying if their partner is lying or not. I am not saying I am clean but I never crossed the line when it comes to lying especially when it's all about gambling. That is why I tell her everything, from how many bets I made in one sports game or how much I won, especially the last time when I got my highest multiplier ever. She was so happy, I can tell and she enjoyed every bit of the money with me and the kids.

I don't agree to this Honestly, I'm Not a fan of my spouse gambling with me, Truth be told we sometimes go out of our disciplines and budgets when gambling, only to recall ourselves and correct the error immediately. That kind of excesses wouldn't be very nice if its coming from the two. It could mean bigger loses. Again gambling can be slightly distracting, and for a man, this isn't much of an issue because the wife is very attentive to the children. When both of them are gamblers, who now gives keen attention to the children?, especially if they're still small and can damage things in the house or even put themselves in harm's way.
Secondly, children are closer to their mothers during their early years with the exception of a few. The possibility of them becoming underage gamblers is very high.

Reacting to the topic, back then in school, I've consistently delayed for my roommate to leave the house for church activities before me so that I'll go to the betting house instead because if we go together, he wouldn't let me enter the gambling house.

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.

The problem with telling a lie is that there's a loophole and when it comes to gambling or any vice you should never lie to your wife, wives are good at looking at body language, they are up to the details on how their husband behave, and their hunch is always perfect.

The only lies I told my wife is when I lose a huge amount of money and each time she always catches me, because of my body language, so better be honest because when you're lying they always catch you, and most of the time they catch you when you are off guard.
