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.

Once or twice of lying is considerable but if you do already make it as a habit just for you to play gambling then thats surely a problem which would mold up in the future.
It is true that you should be that open for your parents to know on what you are doing and they wont really be angry if you are just honest or if they do then thats part of disciplining their children
because wrong doings shouldnt really be tolerated and we know that they have much more experience than us which its understandable that you should obey
on what are their commands and always be obedient.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

While its not good doing such (gambling->lying) thing especially if you're just a kid or maybe a teenager that time, but that's really funny experience you can tell to your friends while growing up ^^.

I have something similar experience but instead of gambling the money for foods, I gambled the money that should be my tuition for college in a "peryahan", well, the case isn't similar though since I win at the end but I almost lossing it all first though and that cracks me to get it back.

I'm not sure if I will go that far, inventing things like someone mug me and take all the money. My parents won't believed it, so I just tell the that I lost the money somewhere that it.

But yeah, lost some on some street hustler like the 3 card monte and then going home with empty pockets that I should have bought food in the first place. Perhaps this is just part of the journey of involving ourselves in gambling when we are young.

Experience could neither give us some important lesson or would just be a simple trigger up into something which we might get involved later on as we do grow up.

We could really make out those reasons because we dont like on being scolded but there are instances where we do get bust up and there's no way that you can avoid or making out some alibis.

Even myself did experience on making out betting but only on personal or on things which might happen or not on particular situations together with my classmates in elementary
which it id really result into that loss of money which it would be more worth if its been used on buying food.

Its ok to hide your gambling activities just don’t do any action that is against the law and just continue to gamble using your money, never do any act of violence just to get money for your gambling activities.

I do also lie to my parents with regards to this one, until one day they discover me that I’m into gambling well, they accept it since its my money and they can’t do anything about it.

Commiting lies isn't really a big deal unless you're held liable for the erroneous things you did when you failed betting you money on gambling.
Inventing a scenario that doesn't even existed was the wrong idea, and much better we're telling the truth to someone or even our parents rather than fooling them.
If you're going to be honest, you won't be stressed and all things will become worrisome. On that idea, they'll able to help you to regain yourself confidence then change your perspective about gambling on how to avoid possible addiction.

If you have to lie about your habits then it means there is something wrong with them, while it is an interesting story the one you are telling us if you had been an adult betting your own money then there would not have been anything wrong with you making a bet.

However you used money that was not yours and that was supposedly destined for something else, you were probably underage and you gambled with it, so I can understand why you lied at the time but this is a sign there is something wrong with what you did and if this happens frequently then this is a huge red flag that there is something wrong with it.

It's about lies that are covered up in order to hide our recklessness for disobeying orders to buy food, and you do it perfectly, gamble and spend it all. Did you know the method is not much different from gambling now? it's just that the concept is even more sophisticated, if at that time you were played by the dealer face to face, but in online gambling you were played by a machine that was designed in such a way.
Regarding what lies I have hidden for gambling, it is not too different, maybe in terms of the various stories, but the reasons for hiding them are relatively adjusted to other chronology.

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.
