I tell my wife everything as much as possible so I won't create a spark of a fight that could lead to something worse in the future. I think if there are some hidden secrets, it's just minimal and not to the extent that it would affect our monthly budget and other payments that need to be paid. She also knew about my latest win and she even asked for us to go out using the money which I accepted without thinking twice because I always want to enjoy the profits I made. I withdrew everything and then we went out with the kids to eat some good food and let the kids play whatever they wanted.
One lie could be addictive especially if we can get out of it the first time. So, I would not recommend to do this kind of act because there's a chance we might do it over and over again that could destroy our family in the future.

I mean, it's not bad to hide from your wife or family about your gambling activities, as you may have a reason or they don't want someone in the family to be gambling, but the thing is, you shouldn't commit anything that you could lie about, for example, what is in the picture. Is that what you really feel? If that's so, then the effect of gambling on you is not good because you can choose gambling over your wife or family. Make it balanced.
In order to avoid being addicted to gambling, balance your activity. You should only have a limited time each day when you are going to gamble so that your family or wife will not be angry at you or feel that you are prioritising gambling over them. Lying is very bad and can be considered a lie. If you can't do gambling without lying, then you are still on the right path or with the with the right mindset.

One of the things that I know makes people come out with some sort of silly lie like this is how awkward it might sound to tell someone you lost focus over something or you took a time off from what you are supposed to be doing to gamble. It's really something that, if you don't have a mature mind, you will lie about.
I can remember I have done some crazy stuff for gambling before as a result of not being mature enough and the fear of how people will react if I present my reason for doing a particular thing was because of gambling and all of that.

I think that I did but not to my wife but to someone about telling that I am not a gambler so that they won't know that I am into gambling. This kind of topic IMO is actually good if you're going to merge them with the others or just make it as a gambling confession thread. I am sure that it's not just going to be shown in the reddit but many of the members here are going to share their experiences and confessions about what they did as a gambler whether they're crazy or not.And about that friend of yours, there are a lot of similar stories and I am sure that many gamblers don't want to know that they've lost a lot of money especially those that have came from their salaries because it's shameful to be known that you're a gambler, you've lost everything and your salary and then you don't have a face anymore to face your wife and admit what has happened. But you are partners and you shouldn't hide anything to her unless that's so crucial for you and your wife will surely not like it. It's important that both of you know each others flaws because you're both for each other to help in some cases like this and to give reminders that you don't have to lie about such.
The lies that are done to avoid many people who know that we gamble consider this normal and even commonplace, almost most of them do this habit to avoid problems that arise at that time if they find out.
In essence, gambling activities always want to be hidden so lying is natural if our wives forbid it, even though some say they are always honest about gambling but for me I have done this only not too often, I once told my family not to enter the room with the PC because there is important data there so no one can enter except myself even though on the PC I played gambling.

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 🤣.

But on a second thought, sometimes it's also not a bad idea to open up to your spouse about it, especially if the person is understanding and won't end up leading to a fight, They could even be the ones that could help you avoid getting addicted or console you whenever you make big losses in gambling, lol your friend's story is very funny but he needs to control his temper so he won't end up beating his wife someday.
Honestly, you can't lie to your wife, your wife always knows when you're telling the truth or not, if you can get away with lying about your gambling then you are that good at lying and you can pass a lie detector test.
Honesty is the best policy and your wife will always understand, even if she knows nothing about gambling, your body language when you win or lose will give you away so it is better to tell her so you won't have to tell a lie about what you're lying.
I've heard of real stories about people using the toilet to hide some of their "business" and I find that funny to this day. About the topic - there was no need to lie about it in my case but that's not because of transparency. I just don't see the need to tell anyone about my gambling activities since I think it's a personal matter and I am not bothering anyone.
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..
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 😂😂.

no matter which angle we look at it, what you are doing is cheating because you are keeping secrets, especially with spouses and the topic of financial discussion here, our partners should know what activities we are obsessed with now so incase there is a problem they can help us. With that kind of secrecy, fights or problems in a family start, so you should be more transparent with our partners to avoid problems in the future. I haven't experience keeping a secret to my partner eversince especially that money is involve because it may cause a big problem to us and I don't want that to happen. I will choose my own family than my leisures so gamble at your own risk.
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” 
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.
As long as the losses a person is experimenting while gambling are under their control then a lie here and there does not make a lot of difference, I often hear people pushing for absolute honesty all the time, but this is not possible, and even if it was, can you imagine the chaos that it would ensue? Just to give an example, statistics show that most people hate their jobs, so if people were 100% honest with what they felt and told their bosses about it, you can be sure they will get themselves fired on the spot and may never get another job as they are unable to keep those feelings to themselves anymore.

I don't think it was THAT bad. You can have multiple favorite times in a day, at least. Anyway, I think the only time I lied was during my early days? As I've shared before I was playing poker already with my friends back in hs, and was in a relationship. My partner abhorred the idea of me gambling (or at least, gambling with money, not poker itself) so whenever I was playing, I always told her that we were just playing with cards, no money involved. There came a point though where I was caught red handed so had no choice but to confess
. Naturally I had to stop but eh, we eventually broke up and here I am gambling again.

I can’t recall any incidents where I might have lied my way of a situation that had to do with gambling. Normally, I don’t gamble around people - I mostly do it when I’m alone and don’t have anything to do (or when I’m in my room/bed). I might have done it in the past but for reason nothing is coming to my mind right now.
Your story and the other guy’s tweet are pretty awful imo. I don’t know if you are still gambling like that but you should probably seek professional help. The other guy on twitter too. I see no difference between your story and locking yourself in a room and drink alcohol/smoking. See how it looks now? That’s what we call “having an addiction”
If gambling prevents you from doing your daily duties then gambling is not a fun event for you anymore. It became an addiction and it needs to be treated.
He mentioned that this happened when he was still new to gambling and I believe a lot of us didn’t one or two newbie stuffs back when we got into gambling before we finally changed our ways - I guess this was one of what he did as a newbie.

So many of these rather lame and depressing stories have been popping up lately. You are proud and happy that you lied to your wife? That you choose to hide away and pursue a petty addiction than to hang around your kids instead? I can understand that sometimes people end up in these darker places, but I'm not sure why you feel the need to share these depressing moments of your life. If you had an open and honest relationship, you could just explain that you were playing some games to take a break from the kids, a responsibility that you might share with your wife - she needs a break sometimes and so do you. Then again, you move on to thinking beating your wife is funny, so you definitely have a broken mindset.
There are many sites with these "confessions", and when I read some confessions I ask myself how true it all is. I have read some things and it is all bordering on the truth, the question is whether we can believe everything we read. So I guess many people lie about their gambling habits, and when someone is lying they often get into some kind of trouble. The lesson of the story would be that we should not lie, it always gets us into even bigger problems.
So if you lie to cover some "bad" habit, sooner or later everything will come out into the sun. So don't do that... it's better to be honest with the things you do, the more likely you are to find a person who loves you for who you are.

Yeah, but it's not like that I lost big or something, maybe I will just play with a couple with some money and that's it. And if I win, they I come back and telling her that I won this X amount of money, same when I lose.
But big money and taking a L? Haven't done that, just chump chance and that's it.
I will also see her playing games and sometimes she feel asleep playing online slot games when I woke up
.
No, never lied to my partner as regards to my gambling habits, why? It's because we gamble together. And even if I play online, she will hear the sounds on my phone that I'm playing slots or roulette or whatever game I'm playing.
So I don't cover up, although there could be time that I will just play alone before going to bed and tell her that I'm going to sleep but that's it. Never play alone on a land base casinos, if I will she knows it that I will go with my friends and same for her. Sometimes I will not go if I don't feel like and she goes out with her sisters and some close friends to gamble.

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.
Yeah and thats exactly what will be my fear also; for my wife not be addicted. I am to believe that the females are more fragile and one thing again I do understand the struggles that's involved when you gamble at a rate of high volume and when you get addicted so I wouldn't like to expose her to such vile environment and exposed her to be addicted.

Most times, not all women do understand what men go through just to provide for the family, both risky and non-risky. So in a scenerio like this, for me I will say that it's better to lie to your wife rather than telling her the truth, that is inasmuch as telling her the truth will make her up-set & ruined her day. Because one thing I was able to observe from this story you O.P just gave above and the one in the image is that you guys have one thing in common, which is, both of you are hiding your gambling identity from your wives, due to how bad she may react if she finally finds out, which in most cases, it's never a crime telling your wife lies over minor things just not to ruined her day. 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..
Because inasmuch as gambling is one thing we have love and passion about, and likewise our wife who we respect, balancing the equation should be the best strategy rather than quitting any.
I told a lie to cover up what I did. When are just kids we are going to be stupid things and lie to ask for money from our parents that's what I did. It's just to share the expense with friends in going places at weekends but I did remember lying to ask for money and the money was used for gambling at some point. When you are young and with friends, anything can happen.
But for a married person and has small kids, I would probably do it while they are already asleep. Not judging. Its good that you do not make them see what you are doing though. Kids seeing it, means they will follow what dad is doing on the laptop.
