Haha... You learned a good lesson while very young, be grateful. Others learn it the hard way - losing much more and ending up addicted.

I used to parlay on football and tennis back in the days. I had quite a knack at it, but I quickly realised it was a loser's game in the long run, but it is fun especially when your favorite team is playing. Adds a little more spice to the game night. Wink

Reading those replies that they didn't or never lied to their parents egarding gambling got me thinking that am I a bad kid back then? Haha.

I just remembered way back in high school time my experience in playing billiards with cards, it's also a type of gambling which winner takes all the bet instead the typical billiard/pool game. My weekly allowance didn't make it even wednesday due to the addiction in playing and/mostly losing billiards.
I always give my mom a reason that my teacher ask a lot for school projects and paid with my weekly allowance  Grin.

Each person is different and it cant really be denied that there are people who never able to lie on their parents in regards to gambling but its impossible to think of that they havent lied for the first time ever
in regards on other matter.

Even myself did really make out some lie but it isnt really for the matter of gambling situation.We as kids does have that kind of behavior on where we do involve some things which isnt really that
right for our age.

Just normal for you to be scolded since we are just young and need to be guided but there are really times which we do really go too far.

What a lie OP, I think I've also done that in the past that I've lied to my parents that I've bought food instead because I've lost during I was in high school with my classmates through computers games. Well, what crazy stuff we did before when we were younger but as we grow old, those aren't a thing to us anymore as we've got our jobs, savings, and money. We don't have to tell a lie anymore because we can stand on our own and we can now give back to our parents whether we gamble or not.

Funny, but it really happened, as we grow and have our owned money now to use for this activity. Those old days that lingering to our minds, funny things that we escape for telling lies to our parents.

Gambling when we still young are part of those good and bad memories. Sometimes we really enjoy since we won some.

But when shit happened to us, we even suffer, I remember I need to walk from school to our house as I emptied my pocket
losing my money with  local gambling games., I need to tell my parent that I left my wallet in my room just to prevent them nagging at me.

Bad experience with gambling and choose retired from all gambling site and close all my account gambling, not good for money management because with gambling you waste time and your money, maybe before late stop gambling and better save your money in the bank or use for investing, every one can stop it just you do with your way like step by step to stop until all is finish it.
What you've said is all about the usual thought of everyone about gambling. So what's the experience just as others sharing with what you lied due to gambling?

My wife hates gambling and often annoys me when I play. Sometimes, I told her that the deposit money came from monthly bonus, affiliate claim, tips (from @roycilik), and various contests. Just alternate the answer until she gets a bit suspicious. That's how I get away from "punishment" Grin

Unfortunately I never lied to my parents, and my new OP experience hearing it because I was involved in gambling when I was a teenager and already working and I bet with my working income.
If I were in your position I wouldn't do it because it's a temptation and you don't follow your parents' orders and that's not good, unless you do it out of pocket money your parents give you or wages after buying food. and I hope it doesn't become your habit because if it still happens, you are worse than an addict.

From what I can tell, you just got hustled, that's their way of keeping you in he game, they let you win some so they can get you to pull out all the money that you have. I didn't have any experience with this because there's stories that there are people out there that do this and one that I know and familiar with is a chess hustling, it's a coordinated con where there's about 2 or 3 accomplices that will appear as the audience and they appear to solve the puzzle and then until a real one goes in and tries to solve it and it ends up up close to be unsolvable.

While I was growing up I used money meant for purchasing foodstuffs to gamble , I can recall in one of those occasions while on my way to the market i met some group of guys who were into local match box gambling. This was my first time of been exposed to gambling. This boxes were filled with groundnuts on one end and sand on the other end. This match boxes would be shuffled then the gambler will be asked to pick the box with groundnuts inside and if such gets lucky enough he wins by doubling his stake but if he losses his fiat is gone.

On that faithful day I got attracted by the crowd and I felt it was too easy to play after watching the board man shuffle series of games I was able to spot the match box without staking and at that point it appeared too simple. I had to stake $4 for a start and I won $8 I was so amazed at how easy this game was and I had to stake the entire Fiats currency in my pockets which was about $45 and ended up losing everything. I became confused all I could figure out is the lies I will tell my parents on how armmed rubbers met on my way and took away the fiat meant to buy foodstuffs. I got the beating equivalent to the fiat I lost  but I tried my best to convince my parents I wasn't lieing.

I had a similar story.  I was a little boy and wanted to find friends. 

In the courtyard of the house, I met a group of boys.  They were all older than me.  They were ruled by a tall red-haired boy named John Silver.  He constantly broke his legs and walked on a crutch. 

He taught me how to play (play dice)  I didn’t know that John Silver was a sharpie and cheated at dice.  He poured lead into dice.  I won the first and second rounds.  However, in the future, I lost all the money that my parents gave me for school meals. 

I suffered from hunger for a whole week.  I haven't told anyone about this.  I was very ashamed.

You may not have to put all your fiat money of $45, in that bet, even though you have been awarded $8 in winnings, it may be a trap, to increase your bet, because you have to buy food to take home, if it was me, of course I would have bought food first, the rest of it I just put at stake in gambling games, so I don't have to lie to my parents.

Anyone who has experienced something like you they will lie and say something to say when they get home, because there is no food to take home, let alone your parents, I will be angry if that happens, but if I lie a little, maybe there is still consideration for my parents' anger, you save yourself from anger, because you lost the gamble, with your actions accidentally, a family will be hungry at that time, there is no food you bring.

What did you learn from that experience? For me, that kind of act is childish and why should you do that?

Even your parents will go ravage once you tell them the truth, it's more comfortable to say the truth rather than keep it secret for long. If only you are true to your words, you might get some good advice from your parents instead and they will not get mad.

Don't do that again.

Main lesson here is not about "do not lie" but more about do not gambling with the money that should be used for other things.
In other words, we should spend spare money only to gamble.
Frankly speaking, I experienced similar thing when I was on high school when I knew lottery game for the 1st time.
I used to get pocket money from my parents per month because they want to teach me how to spend money wisely.
Unfortunately, I lost my monthly pocket money in few days only because I gambled it in lottery game.
I did not tell my parents about it and I did not ask them for more money, as a consequence I had to work as snack reseller door to door after school.
Fun fact, my parents did not know about what I did till the time I told them when I graduated.  Grin

We all did make mistakes when we were kids. We have no experience at that time, not even understanding what the consequences are. I have done something like that when I saw my mother told me to go to my uncle's house to get some cash from my father who attends a gathering. When I arrived I saw my father on a makeshift deck table dealing cards.

He gave me about $80 but gave my mother about $60 only. Later she found out whipped my ass almost a hundred times. She gave me a hundred times more when she learned I went to the nearby carnival, bet $20, and lose.

what? whipped my ass almost a hundred times? Grin Grin really terrible bro, we laughed at the same time can not imagine how your face at this time after being whipped that much. That's a mother and you will definitely miss the times you can't go back to. Now that you are older and know what gambling is like, even if you didn't experience gambling as a child, lies to the mother always get forgiveness without you asking.

I did not come to a point where I have to lie to hide my losses in gambling, when we are young we tend to be like that,  it's not really the amount of money but the way we lose it that we want to hide, who will be on the right mind that will tell his parents that he losses the money because of gambling, our parents will not only beat us they will become very strict on us, no parents will want their children to gamble when they are not yet on the right age.

I didn't have to lie, in Africa children are playing cards while betting money, of course it's not a very high amount of money and it doesn't even reach $3, but parents know that children play cards and make bets, the same happens when the children play soccer they place bets on which team will win, and also the children's parents know that their children place bets on soccer games... there are dozens of games that children place bets on in Africa and that the parents know, but it's unbelievable I've never heard any kids become addicted, and I think the reason is simple: because when kids grow up in Africa they don't have the money to go to physical casinos and have little time or interest in making online bets.

I never got engaged in gambling when I was a kid. My parents, deliberately or not, too often used the expression “lost a fortune to a casino”, “lost all money and became homeless”, etc. when talking about homeless, desperate people or criminals. So growing up I was even afraid to come anywhere near gambling. I never got anti-gambling propaganda, though, it was always somewhere in the middle of the conversation, but somehow it was one of my biggest fears - to lose everything to a casino. It seemed so stupid and sad.

Things have changed since then. Now I gamble, occasionally, but rather carefully and try not to spend too much money.

However, in your case, I would’ve probably told my parents the truth. Parents always can tell when the kid is lying, so by doing so one only makes things worse. I think it’s better to confess and show, that you sincerely regret something and hope for compassion and understanding.

I have never lied about it and in fact, every pocket money my parents gave me during my school days was always used in the right way and/or command. It was a lie that happened when I was able to earn my own money by working, when I got a big win at that time when I gambled at an offline bookie but then my parents asked. About the things I got in what way because my parents only knew, basically my income was not enough to buy these things and I lied at that time.

You're on a difficult situation since the money you gamble was meant for the family foods supposedly and yet you used it to gamble, I'm pretty sure your family wont believe on your any excuses though maybe they'll just think that you steal the money from them, better not to lie at all.

I'm not using important money in gambling, they are meant for the basic needs and not for gambling and beside I have my own budget in gambling so I don't have to lie to my parents or to my wife since their money is still safe with me and of course, I'm providing their needs so there's no reason for them to get mad at me.

I had to stake $4 for a start and I won $8 I was so amazed at how easy this game was and I had to stake the entire Fiats currency in my pockets which was about $45 and ended up losing everything.

I've got a similar experience many years ago. I was a student back then, I've been receiving money from my parents on a monthly basis and that day I've lost all the money for that month and some extra for buying winter clothes for myself.

The only lie was that I didn't find clothes I like yet, but for more than a month I've eaten almost exclusively bread with lard so that I've received new money next month and I've also put aside enough money for those clothes. It was not pleasant and it was a good experience for "if it's too good to be true...", since it was no proper/fair gambling in my case, it was a scam disguised in gambling at the corner of the street.
