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.
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..


It’s nice read woman point of view here in forum because my comment about my partner is just my assumption and observation since I don’t confront here with this kind of trivial discussion or else I will be sleeping in the couch.

I usually just provide everything to my partner and just get my allowance out of my salary while the rest is up to her on how she will budget in. I guess what I’m doing is right since your opinion is same with that.

Quote
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.

Definitely, addiction makes you isolated with your family since you don’t want to get busted on what you are doing because you knew it’s not right.

     -   There are people who love gambling and will do anything just to gamble. Now, to the point that we can lie because of gambling, I have never experienced it, but I only keep
my gambling a secret from my wife.

Maybe the time I lied to my wife was when I won gambling and I didn't tell her that the money I gave her came from my crypto gambling winnings. Actually, even up to now I played gambled without her knowledge although I know that it won't be a problem, but I just really don't want her to know what I'm doing.

It also depends on the individual, in my opinion, if the person is happy with the gambling they do, maybe they will not hesitate to say that they often gamble, on the other hand there are gamblers who win to cover up their gambling activities, so it is not strange if they tell lies, such as in the use of money that says what to buy or to use other things but the main purpose is to bet on gambling. You yourself must have your own reasons why you keep your gambling a secret, I myself keep it a secret from my family because I don't want my family to know that I like gambling, maybe if they know I like gambling they can be disappointed.

That's a sure thing guys hahaha  Cheesy
In fact, I think there are also other people like that who do give the money they have to their wife or other family members but don't tell them that the money is the result of gambling. But I don't think it's a problem, because as long as they are happy it's okay in my opinion.

Lies like that in the first post here in the thread are not hurting ones,they don't do any harm,quite the opposite they give the woman what she wants to hear from her husband and the husband can keep to himself that he loves gambling more than her at certain times.The only harm I see in such declarations is exactly the signs of addiction I see in here,if they truly care about gambling more than anything else then this is a big problem which they need to fix as it will undoubtedly hunt them after some time have passed,the wife will find out and that is how a big number of divorces happen,the biggest number in the country where I live is exactly from gambling.

The gambler had two types,one they play the game just for the fun.They like to play the game for the entertainment,So they love to play the game irrespective of expectations of profit from it.Second one is the gambler who consider the gambling as the money making machine.So mostly expect the profit from their capital investment.The gambler who had love to play the game never disclosures their involvement in gambling,because some day their wife or family members will ask to quit the gambling.This gambler will lie to their wife to save their game to the gambling site.


Maybe the time I lied to my wife was when I won gambling and I didn't tell her that the money I gave her came from my crypto gambling winnings. Actually, even up to now I played gambled without her knowledge although I know that it won't be a problem, but I just really don't want her to know what I'm doing.

The gambler who made the winning dollar are not going to lie to their wife,because they can say their wife absolutely the winning dollar to show their supremacy in the game.But some time this may back fire,after hearing this the wife may ask to quit after this game to avoid loss of money in the future.If you gave some dollars from the winning money means,she get more happy about your winnings.

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.

A wife can understand each and everything but sometimes she pretends to be not familiar with the fact and I think no one should hide any activity from his wife because hidden things can be termed as cheating with your wife which she cannot tolerate.

If someone's wife does not like your gambling habit then you should stop it because it is such a risky field that not only will you be in danger but your wife will also feel insecure. Your wife will definitely understand what is going on in your mind and most of the relationship becomes weaker due to the habit of a husband who hide most of the things from his wife.

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 😂😂.

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.

Yes, it happened to me that I lied to my friend about the bets I placed on eSports matches. I myself don’t know why I reduced the amount I bet on the match and lost. Although if I had told the truth, no one would have condemned me for this. I probably thought about my reputation and sometimes I felt ashamed to admit to losing money. It makes you look like you're a loser. I think it's better not to say anything than to lie. I mean the situation where you don't have to give an answer at all.
I also believe that an adult should not do things that would have to be hidden, be it from friends or from his wife or anyone else.

Been there done that, mate. I can say that it's okay not to say anything than to lie, since no one is asking about what you're doing then don't make a story about your whereabout, you should handle it on your own and it will gives us a peace of mind knowing that no one knows tha truth because you're not telling it to anyone rather than telling lies.

Hahaha... I have a lot to reply to here.

First, about the guy who lied to the wife that being beside her is his best moment, I advise him to keep it that way. Women like you to make them feel the most important, it is better to keep it that way. All he can work on is to be a responsible gambler, a good husband and a father. If those are in place, the rest is a story.

As for your story, I must say I truly laughed here and it deserved my merit. Online course indeed! Smiley Regardless, it saved the day, kudos to you and your lie. Besides, in your case, since you are a better man now, you may still tell her the truth on a casual note. Though it's not compulsory, it's a choice, just for you guys to laugh over it.

About your friend, I hope he can change his ways, this is so irresponsible, he just has to turn a new leaf. Also, the wife is not fair by saying he should have been beaten by the robbers to believe. It is not all robbers who beat or harm you when you cooperate with them. She shouldn't have thought it that far but for the safety of the husband whether he is lying or not. This is unless the guy is just entirely irresponsible which could have been his usual way to make her think that way.

Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.
Never! I don't have any reason to do so. Since I am a responsible adult and do not collect or steal money from anyone to gamble, I can't just think it twice than to tell you I gamble or I am gambling as the case may be.

And again, no one can control when someone has fallen into an addict.
If honest and open with gambling activities carried out to couples, there will still be those who care when gambling has exceeded reasonable limits.

After all, why lie and hide the activities carried out against people who really should know.
To be honest, I believe that we are able to control more than we're taking responsibility for. You can't directly control if you're becoming an addict, but it's practically impossible not to acknowledge that you have a gambling problem. Unfortunately, gambling is perceived as something negative, even when it's conducted with specific boundaries, which is probably one of the reasons some prefer to hide it. There's no excuse in hiding such things from your partner though, you're only hurting your relationship in the long-term.

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 guess lying for the sake of gambling is not actually surprising. A lot of people create lies so they can sustain their urge in gambling, and even myself is not an exception. Well, that’s how when I was still starting with gambling and eventually get hooked to it that fast. To the point that I have to lie that all my funds are used up with those high priced bills when in reality I screwed them all to gambling.

However, I’ve learned my lesson now and that there’s no way that I would be lying again just to satisfy myself with  my gambling habits. I can gamble with my spare funds, but using all my hard-earned money for gambling, that won’t never happen again.
When players depend on other people or have to hand over accounts to other people, sometimes others do not like gambling because it is money that easily goes into the casino, because casinos are places where you can lose money very easily. and if the player is a person who does not control himself and lets himself be carried away by emotions, he can lose all the money, the player who is good has to control his emotions because if he runs out of money he has to go back to look for more. keep playing, and that is a bad sign, it goes straight to addiction, so in this type of things you have to be very intelligent, play very calmly and accept what is done in the casino, don't go crazy if you lose. money or seek revenge.

For the first time I entered the world of gambling, I still played secretly and always tried to cover up my gambling activities, especially in front of my parents. Because at that time I had just graduated from school and didn't have a job or income at all, so some of my needs were still met by my parents. And if they find out that some of the money they gave was spent on gambling, then they will probably scold me, and it is possible that I will no longer be given pocket money. So I always try to cover these activities.

However, not at this time, because at this time I already have a job and income, no longer financially dependent on them. I dare to speak honestly about the gambling activities that I do. and they allowed it, with a note, that I could only gamble when my needs, savings and investments had been met. although it is quite difficult to do. However, rather than continuing to hide these activities, it's better for me to tell the truth because lying really makes me quite tired. It's better for me to be honest, because after all this is all for my own good.

Lying inside a relationship for petty stuff, such as your desire to gamble, is setting your relationship on the wrong foot, and even you see it as something negative because it's likely that you're addicted and have to hide, not only from your partner but from yourself as well.

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.
That’s the big check, lying can’t stay longer or else that could break someone else trust and even if its your family, lying should not be your option because being honest and having a good communication with your partner, that is more healthy. Well, if its gambling we always make lies because of our personal reason and whenever you’re ready, better to confess your gambling activities especially if you think you are already falling into this trap.

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.
I'm a straightforward person and prefer to be honest about my beliefs; if you're asking my opinion, you'd be expecting my actual view, not a lie that won't hurt your feelings. However, some subjects are a little controversial, such as gambling or cryptocurrency investments, where telling a few white lies is far easier and more convenient than explaining the whole situation, which is usually something that I prefer not doing.

Lying inside a relationship for petty stuff, such as your desire to gamble, is setting your relationship on the wrong foot, and even you see it as something negative because it's likely that you're addicted and have to hide, not only from your partner but from yourself as well.

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

In some cases lying seems to be the best option but I can attest that it is the worst. One might just tell lies to cover up an ugly event but the question we should ask ourselves is what will be the reaction of the person who later discovered that you were not telling the truth. Your wife might be scrolling your phone and discover from your browsing history that you were gambling at the time she asked the question. This can lead to mistrust which could affect relationships negatively. I know it is fearful and very difficult but we should learn to always tell the truth no matter what the reaction from our partner will be.

I have not told any gambling related lies to my partner but I have tried to cover up my losses to avoid arguments and quarrels. There was a time when I had some losses that were above my gambling budget and I had to hide it from my partner and avoid her questions regarding how I used my monthly allocation. Fortunately, I was able to recover the losses before she became more inquisitive.

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
Well there is nothing a desperate gambler cannot do and this particular lies told by gamblers is common and that's I tend to be skeptical about some stories my friends which I know are gambler tell me. This thing is very common and its not only gamblers that do it, lies are told all the time just to cover up things we don't want people to know.

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.
