Topic: Lies told to cover up gambling habit - page 6. (Read 2331 times)

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.

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 😂😂.

I think almost all of the husbands in the world have cover up their gambling habit to their family especially to their wifes this because the husbands fear their wifes will not accept their habit and it can be influence to their relationship so this is a normal thing done by everyone who has a family but i think has gambling habit is not matter as long as those people can responsible to their family and if there is any people who can able to do that i think they can life normally without having to fear that it will have a negative impact on his family

I have one example in my environment because a friend of mine has gambling habit for years and he can cover up his habit with very well without his family know about that this because before gambling he always prioritize his family needs first and until now he continues to live a normal life without fear that gambling will affect to his life

I think it is always going to be a problem when you lie in spite the fact that your lying is going to keep your secrets safe from your wife knowing. It Is still better you tell her the truth than to keeping lying and then it gets to a time that you can not keep the truth from her again when she finds out herself. She might divorce you but this time you will lose everything and even the chance to see your children again. When you have a problem, let your love ones to know so you guys can seek help and when they are by your side, you will be capable of overcoming any problem that you are passing through regardless of it being gambling addiction problems or other addictions. When you have an understanding wife, she is not going to get angry with you when you tell her the truth but look for solutions together as a family.

In my opinion, it's better to tell the truth from the get-go. That way, nobody will be hurt and everybody will be happy knowing there are no hidden doors from one another.

If their family doesn't like gambling, that person can lie to their family because he doesn't want other people know that he likes playing gambling. He will lie more and more to his family and hides their gambling activity from other people and will only playing gambling if they are in their rooms. But if he decides to lie to his family, he can makes another lie to covers his previous lie and that will not be good for him.

But if people rely on gambling to feed their daily needs, they will not have a big chance to wins because that is gambling and not a work which can gives them salary. They can lie again to their family and saying that the money they gets from gambling is from other works. One lie will cover with other lies and that will stops until their family caught them that they lies to their family.

You are right when gambling, one has to lie to the family all the time because it is impossible to tell directly. But responsible gamblers never lie but tell the truth. There are many families who depend on gambling for their livelihood. But most families don't support gambling rather they look down on it, and my family doesn't support gambling and doesn't like it. Therefore, if I gamble and my family asks me about the source of income, then I must resort to lies, there is no other way. However, it is normal to lie to family, but it is better to avoid lying to others than to friends. Rather, it is better to discuss the positive and negative aspects of gambling to them because there are many new gamblers who do not understand gambling, and they face many disadvantages. That is why one should not lie to the newbies but should make them aware of everything so that they do not suffer and become addicted.

That's unhealthy. But for men this is normal. 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.

It is not a personal experience I had myself, but it was something which happened to a close family member of mine: this family member had lost a significant amount of money while playing at dices, that certainly disturbed him much and when their mother asked him about the money he had (and he had already lost) he had to lie about it and also avoid the topic as long as possible... Anyways... I hope I will never be in a position I need to lie to someone I love because it messed up with gambling. That is one of the warning signs one is going through a bad path and the hobby is starting to devolve in something beyond control .

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.

On the other hand, maybe I would say that it is not a problem for you to lie to your wife as long as you can really take care of everything well, in the sense of being able to manage and control your gambling activities well so that you can avoid indirect problems, of course. can affect the financial situation in your family relationships.

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,
