I can not remember what lies I already did to play gambling because that was long ago. But if you lie for just playing gambling, that will not be easy, especially if you lose all of the money and do not have a right reason why you lose the money.
The first time, maybe it looks easy to win some money, but then, the dealer will not let you win for more and will make you lose the money. We do not know if they cheat on us or that it is just coincidentally, but that really happens to us and we only regret what we already did while we will hard to recover the losing money.

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.

It would be better for you if you told your parents the truth. Most likely your father would have scolded you and told you all the methods of street scams he knew, which were presented to you in the form of gambling, and then you would not have fallen for such tricks. I have a negative attitude towards lying, especially when a person lies to the people closest to them.
What i lie maybe when i get money from gambling contest, but i said to my parents if i do trading. In my family, gambling is prohibited and i think they will be mad if i get money from gambling or maybe doing gambling itself. So until now i am not tell them if i play gambling in crypto. Gladly i am not really much doing it because i know losses will be more than what we won.
You are the worst liar i ever met, imagine that Money is for the foods of the family INCLUDING you but instead of telling them what really happens , you made it with total lie , if i were your parents? i will let you starve for that whole week as you spend the budget for 1 week food (if that is the equivalent of 45$ that time)
I only lied to my family about cutting classes in which i did several times when i was in Highschool but never did for any stupid gambling activities.

I also witnessed a similar gambling event mentioned by the OP in my country, but I dare not or lack the courage to use the money I was sent for buying stuffs and gamble with it, the country where I came from allows parents to subject their kids to flogging once they misbehaved, thus I knew that if I tried to gamble with that money and ended up losing the Fiat, I knew I am in a serious trouble, no amount of lieing would convince my parent to reason with me, I will be severely punished, I can't even lie that I lost the money along the road, it will also be unacceptable excuse.
Old school story and gambling ways. That's a nice story and I believe you, not the lie though. 
I can relate. Stole a couple of dollars from my Aunt in his bag and try to double it with gambling. When I got home, I knew something bad is going to happen.
Heads down, don't look up or you will see it in their eyes like you are a suspect of a crime in the streets.
When you are a kid, it's difficult to make them believe what you will say. Of course, that's because they know you or your habits will show when lying.

how many times this happened ? because if it happens a lot your parents are not convinced in your alibi's anymore but if it was the first time you can easily get away with it without getting harmed but i still dont encnourage that because lying is a sin .
if you can be honest with your parents they could have given you a money to spend in that kind of entertainment .

Ona bigger picture, if it has become a habit then it will not only be restricted to the gambling but to other things in life as well and this is more bigger worry for that matter. So truth is always best or else if cannot speak it then other option left is to stop is permanently till you are earning good amount for yourself and can spend on certain ratio in gambling.
A lie that fails, maybe it's better to admit it because it's a lie or to be honest you will get the same reaction which is a punch. Never do anything like you ever did, but lying because other things have done, because humans must have lied only the causes and reasons are different.
The good thing about your story is that you immediately lose because if you are able to double the money it will continue with another lie.

The people you met were all criminals trying to make a dubious Living by preying on the innocence of bystanders and taking advantage of your greed. There is a popular saying -"the more you look, the less you see'' and that is exactly what you fell a victim for.
I have been a victim of this type of cheap gambling scam before just to discover on observation that most of the people standing around such places all know themselves and act like they do not. ( They are all members of the same dubious criminal gang) putting up an act, hoping to entice innocent individuals to come play with their fiat.
Don't beat yourself so much, that was your first experience to the street and street gambling and such experiences are meant to make you smarter and street conscious, so truthfully you met robbers, just that were not armed.

This is not good, and this could lead to a more serious gambling problem.
Better not to lie to your parents and tell the real story, they’ll be mad yes but after that they will give you a good lesson and maybe guide you on the right way, gambling is not good at all.
If you have no extra money better not to gamble at all because you are being greedy and that is not healthy if you continue doing that kind of activities, its fine to lie sometimes but with regards to this one, its not ok because that money was meant for your basic needs.

I was thinking exactly the same. Losing more money than you can afford to, even money that you were supposed to use to buy food and then having to lie sounds a lot like someone who has a problem with gambling.
The OP does not mention if he has lost too much on subsequent occasions but I take it he is a gambler.
In my case, I am quite in control of the game, so I have never had to lie. Fingers crossed that this will continue to be the case.
My biggest lie was when I was in college, because I had money destined to spend with the girlfriend I had at that time, because I was serving 2 years with her and I told her that I would take her to the movies and then have dinner and well that for that moment translated into a lot of money, that same afternoon I went to the casino to play bingo and I spent everything I had destined for.
What I did was to invent to her that I got sick, that it caused diarrhea and that maybe I had parasites and that I could not leave my house, that I felt very bad and that I was going to medicine, she understood me, but between heaven and earth I did not There is nothing hidden, because a friend of hers saw me when I went out with my friends at the casino and told her and uff they almost finished me that day, the truth I felt something bad and some time later she gave me that strong diarrhea because I ate a hamburger in The street may not have been in normal sanitary conditions, and I really felt very bad, in truth, the lie came out face to face.

I don't remember such things happened too but when I am lying, my parents seem to know what I'm up to and Yeah, I'm not that good lier. I think I don't have the guts to do those things back then especially when it involves money because I think that if something goes wrong, I don't have the means to pay it back. It seems like you are a risk-taker back when you were a child that's why you ended up here in this community. I started to take risks when I am the one who earns my money not when someone trusted me with it.
Yeah, I also can't recall what lie I did during that time in my high school days, but for sure our parents know a thing or two if we do not tell that the real reason as to where the money did go. But I guess the beating you we got from our parents is to discipline us because they already know what we are up to.
But us becoming parents, we don't want our kids to really dab on gambling at a young age. So it's really up to us know to be a good parents and try to be on the look out for our kids not just gambling, but other vices as well.
First of all, I'm sorry that you got a beating from your parents. It's never a good thing to experience, and it might have caused some trauma. I hope you didn't take it in the present too much that it might have caused problems for you.
Anyway, I think it's natural to be secretive at first with what you're doing if it's harmful in your household. I believe that's the problem that children face when they know it's wrong but still want to see it, and in return, they just lie. I think the relationship between the parent and the child should be trust base and let them understand why it's not good or why it's something to be frowned upon.
Of course, nobody in this world hasn't told a lie, even a white lie. I think everybody has, and it's always going to be for some reason that is okay for them. I have lied to get what I want, for example, lied about where I was going. If it's far away, I tend to say that I'm going somewhere closer, but that's not something that someone should be doing. It might have caused me trouble thinking that it was okay, but it certainly is not.
I'm going to stop rumbling around now, lol.

Biggest lie I did was when I said I wasn't gambling lmao. Back when I was a HS kid me and my friends had this circle that used to play poker without bets. Developed into us actually playing WITH bets after a few months. Slowly started from small amounts to big amounts, but back then, my parents and my GF that is in the same school as me abhor gambling. I got pretty into it though, so I didn't tell them that I am gambling, well, till the day that they discovered themselves that I was gambling with money. It was even the time where I had the biggest loss from all my sessions that she discovered, and naturally, my parents discovered as well through her.

It is a funny story, but kind of deep as well. Everything starts small. Imagine that simple local gambling game was actually the one who brought you the kind of excitement that gambling brings, probably the exact same feeling that my first gambling game also gave me.
I also started small, and with lies as well. I started gambling with my spare coins intended for snacks way back in my elementary days. Instead of buying food, I ended up playing coin gambling games with them. Of course, when I got home and asked what kind of food I bought with my pocket money, that's when lies came out.

I guess I did but couldn't remember it anymore, maybe it was that long now I could just tell. From your story I think it was a far-fetched kind of a lie to be honest unless there's some serious evidence that you've got the beating. Your story doesn't include if you really had it but I think what could be worse if you really hit your head hard in a cement wall, that could be more not a lie.
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.
Haha! your lie was not that convincing it seems for your parents. You should have told them the truth that you wanted to double the amount given for buying food by trying your luck. Actually, it was not your fault at all anyone at that age would be lured into it, after all, you were able to double $4 to $8. I have never been in such a situation wherein I had used my parent's money to gamble. I have told several lies to them for different situations, some were convincing and some were not, those which were not ended up badly for me too.
