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

But how about you and your wife to gamble together if you have the time so that you can know when to stop by encouraging yourselves and telling yourselves the amount of money that is small that you should use to gamble. I noticed some people on this forum always say something like they are hiding their gambling activities from their partners but not everyone. If it is done wisely and responsibly, a woman can easily be convinced. But some people can be afraid of their wife not to get addicted also.

We all lie for a reason; either to protect ourselves or protect other people from getting hurt. On the given example that the man lied on his fvorite time, it is subjective in the first place. There is a whole lot of definition for enjoyment and that might just confused him with his favorite moment, I assume that he enjoys both of it, still. I did the same thing before but on a different extent. I was asked if I am gambling or engaging to such activities by my girlfriend and I lied saying no. Not to gaslight but I think it is a personal thing. As long as you are not being problematic and still in control of your habits, then things are fine still to hide it for your own reason. Even with partners there are things you keep private from one another simply because you two still have different lives.

Lucking yourself in a room because you want to gamble so that other people close to you will not know what you are doing is a kind of getting addicted slowly, and lieing is not also exempted. Sometimes people lie for a reason though either to protect themselves or others from getting hot.
I also thought so, if the gambler didn't enjoyed being close to his wife he wouldn't have said what he said to his wife but I still have a doubt that the love he has for gamble is the same he has for his wife. Exactly, your partner is not supposed to know everything but 95% of what's happening is what she's supposed to be aware of.

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..

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 🤣.

Your story and the other guy’s tweet are pretty awful imo. I don’t know if you are still gambling like that but you should probably seek professional help. The other guy on twitter too. I see no difference between your story and locking yourself in a room and drink alcohol/smoking. See how it looks now? That’s what we call “having an addiction”

If gambling prevents you from doing your daily duties then gambling is not a fun event for you anymore. It became an addiction and it needs to be treated.

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”  ;D

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.

If it's for the better and you know that you're playing in moderation, then why not? But losing huge of money in gambling yet you're still lying to your wife about it seems not a good idea to me. Why don't you try to be open so your wife can understand what you are up to?

It's understandable to lie to someone about our losses because we don't want to be judge. But it's a different thing if you're doing this with your partner. It involves money and it can be a reason for her to lost her trust on you.

That is always a common habit for gamblers. I'm most time they don't want their wife, children and religion friends to know that they are gambling so all what they do is to tell them that they are studying, doing assignments and other important things while within them they are busy gambling and they don't want to their people to know about. But one day they will still know as your wife noticed you. And those are the kind of styles that the addicted gamblers used in the family setting when they noticed that they can't move out to play gamble.
They deceive their friends, wife and children that they what to do important thing. I am just giving an instant and not you.

Naah Naah, honestly, even if my wife will like it, I personally will not want her to get near anything gambling, I am an introvert and like to do many things alone, in fact, I enjoy doing almost every thing I do, alone, except when we are watching a movie or we go out on a date, even when I choose to do the cooking, and she comes around to help, normally, that should be fun right? But I see that as disturbance and would possibly abandon the cooking for her to do if she refuse to leave me alone, this is the kind of person I am.

But then, on the other, my wife is not a gambling person at all, in fact, she hate gamblers with passion, she's one of this who peceive gamblers are irresponsible people, it's the reason why I've never allowed her to get to know of my involvement in gambling, she will be heart broken if she ever learn that I go gamble.
Many a times I've lost money in business and told her, when she learns that I gamble, she may turn around to accuse me of losing those money to gambling and lying to her that I lost the money in business, that exactly the kind of person she is, and not like I can't make her change that perspective or attitude if I want to, If I really wanted to, I can present gambling to her in a way that she will think that I just decided to start gambling and want to carry her along, I can do that and I bet she will like it, but nah, doing that will end up ruining my gambling peace of mind.
Lol.

As long as the losses a person is experimenting while gambling are under their control then a lie here and there does not make a lot of difference, I often hear people pushing for absolute honesty all the time, but this is not possible, and even if it was, can you imagine the chaos that it would ensue? Just to give an example, statistics show that most people hate their jobs, so if people were 100% honest with what they felt and told their bosses about it, you can be sure they will get themselves fired on the spot and may never get another job as they are unable to keep those feelings to themselves anymore.

I don't think the person telling the story lied to cover up his habit of gambling, his wife may have known about him gambling but what she didn't know was that he considered gambling the favorite part of his day and not the time spent with her. Telling the wife the truth that whenever he gambled was the best time of his day is a statement capable of ending the marriage. He is a chronically addicted gambler who does not want his partner to know how addicted he is to gambling, and an adicted gambler who will not easily change.

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 🤣.

I have once lied because of gambling. I use the money I intend using to buy some food stuffs to gamble, unfortunately I lost all to virtual gambling I never knew what to tell my wife, so I just told her I lost the money and the worst part is that I don't even know how come about it. She was very anoid about that and I pretended as if what I was saying was the truth till she believed me. I then have  to call a friend to send me money because that was the only money I had in my savings back the around 2017

Gambling is so addictive that both spouses shouldn't get involved at the same time, because at a point they may lose control of their emotions which could impact on their relationship negatively and if care is not taken one or both partners may become uncontrollably addicted and that will become an unbearable turn out of events.


But if it is one of the partner preferably the husband becoming addicted the wife can easily help him to get out of such addictions, so the man in the story did the right thing not telling the wife his gambling expertise.

But how about you and your wife to gamble together if you have the time so that you can know when to stop by encouraging yourselves and telling yourselves the amount of money that is small that you should use to gamble. I noticed some people on this forum always say something like they are hiding their gambling activities from their partners but not everyone. If it is done wisely and responsibly, a woman can easily be convinced. But some people can be afraid of their wife not to get addicted also.

That was a time ago, so I hope you learned the lesson (although if you got the money back from your friend, perhaps you didn't get the morale).

I think that we must be mature enough to make our own decisions, but also to accept the responsibility of any consequences arising from our decisions.

I don't know your wife, the wife of Fivestar4everMVP's story, nor the one mentioned in the OP, but I feel that in all cases they pay for their husbands' faults, and that's not ethical nor fair.

indeed, sometimes we need to lie to be able to cover up sensitive things like that, because not all wives understand what their husband is going through, maybe he is bored and needs entertainment and maybe gambling is one way to get pleasure. but even so, gambling must be done responsibly, so that it does not become a problem for our partner and instead it will destroy our relationship with her.

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.

It is not all women that will like to try gambling to see if they will enjoy the fun, and also some women can get very mad at you when you just mention the word gamble. This is because, they feel it is something bad and for irresponsible people because they have seen people that gambled irresponsible and got frustrated with addiction. I refer to keep my gambling activities secret from my wife, so that I can continue to enjoy gambling or else, I might not be able to gamble whenever I feel like gambling. I have said some lies just to cover up for gambling.

Nope- I do not think I have lied with anything related to gambling as I am very open with anyone who asks me about my experiences.

When I used to gamble, I actually tell everything to my friends and family so that they would know my experience. Even if I experience something that is negative, I always tell them the truth since I believe that they deserve to know everything. Not to mention, by telling my experiences, they could also discern and decide whether they want to try gambling or not.

On the story that you provided OP, it was painful for me to read it. I think our partners deserve to know everything even if it is something that could affect the overall relationship. If you lie on the small things, that could escalate and create a snowball effect into something bigger- a lie that can transcend into different small lies that would eventually evolve into a bigger problem in the future.

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..

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.

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.

You could possibly say that such a lie could be deemed a white lie—those insignificant ones that we say to avoid hurting others or because the truth is more complicated to explain. Although I also believe that it's best to be open and straightforward, lying can put you in difficult situations if you're caught, because eventually you will be. However, this isn't the worst part; I find it extremely saddening that the favorite part of the person in the Reddit post is to hide in the toilet in order to gamble, or generally speaking, to be forced to hide what you're doing. 

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”  ;D

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

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.

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.

-snip-
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

     -   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.

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..

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.

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.


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.

Every woman with the way they behaves, you might be providing your monthly allowance to her but she may not get satisfied over what you does with your money at times it might leads to question you if what you are earning as salaries does reflects to your real life, activity and investment then she could be led to speak out. The most important thing is be open to each others with this there will be much worries over you since she knows what you are into how the money are being spent out every day.

Hiding your gambling activities or lying about it could sometimes be a sign of gambling addiction. Like if you come to think of it , why hide something if it's right or doesn't have something more to it ? One of the biggest issues of hiding gambling activities from the people around you especially family members is when they eventually find out without you breaking the news to them before then. Majority of the they view it as a scenario where the feel they are distrusted by the gambler.

This can cause relationship and emotional issues. Also , as a responsible gambler I don't think you should measure the love you have for your loved ones like your wife with the amount of fun you have when you gamble except you are probably an addict.

I don't think any woman will be worried over her partner's mode of spending money if those unnecessary expenditures ain't affecting his responsibilities to his wife and family. Most times it is not all about money, but the level of attention you give to gambling that might make your family yearn for your attention. I still maintain that gambling activities should not be done in secret, if you are gambling right, your partner will adjust and let you enjoy whatever benefits you derive from gambling. Gambling is not a bad game, what matters most is how you go about it. If your partner shows concern over your gambling habit, it shows she means well for you.  It is now left for you to prove to her that one can be a gambler and still be responsible.

I believe that everyone does their things as they see fit to have their own benefit. In this order of ideas we can say that if someone does not harm Anyone, then they can hide everything they Want and do what they like the most, as long as they do not They hurt no one , that is something that is noticeable and that you always have to raise Awareness, so when you see all these things you can prioritize things, if it harms the family you can't be in a game, in a casino , at least I can't. be damaging my own blood, then when they hide it and it is known, many things can be destroyed, and that is why so many things happen, separating families , fathers and mothers, children suffer and a family is Broken it fades away, and of course, this happens thanks to Addiction.

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.

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

There is no need to lie to anyone. It’s enough just to find a time and place for privacy so that no one will disturb you and control your gaming expenses. It's actually not difficult. After all, in reality it is difficult to lie. In order to lie you need to have a good memory. Moreover, lies beget other lies. In the end, it resembles a vicious circle that will sooner or later break. We lie only because we do not meet understanding from our loved ones. But if you control your losses, then information about your games is unlikely to interest anyone. Rather, you will look like a quiet crazy person who wastes his time playing online games.

~snip~

I don't know why you're hiding from your wife that you like to gamble. Personally, I think that this kind of secrets negatively affect the trust of spouses. Just imagine what can happen when your wife finds out about your secrets, and you find out about her secrets. I don't think it would do any good. I told my wife about gambling before I married her, so it makes no sense for me to hide from her when I want to gamble. She understands my hobbies perfectly well and tries to stay out of it.

Another big fucking lie is that it's a hobby or I'm doing it for fun, your doing it for fun and it's costing you a fortune then you must be a fucking out of your mind, I've heard some person saying that they take gambling as a hobby and that is the biggest fraud lie anyone told himself, do you feel bad when you lose? Yes, then how is that fun, fun is supposed to be entertaining not to make you sad about lose.

You will always gamblers tell that they are there to gamble for fun but when they win, it is giving more fun. Ans when they are on a losing streak, it is no longer fun.

It is entertaining and fun to gamble but it is certainly a lie that gamblers who tell that, are only actual for fun.

Your mentality and other gamblers based on fun is different. The way you get fun that's not the same way people get their fun. Fun can come from entertainment and hobbies. That is why you see serial killers and people doing some crazy things all in the name of fun. So if you hear someone saying they gamble for fun then am not surprised because I know its possible.

Gambling can be very fun when you have enough money and you dont feel any pains when you lose. There are weird people who are like that, the fun there is they derive joy from the wins and loss gambling gives to them.

You will always gamblers tell that they are there to gamble for fun but when they win, it is giving more fun. Ans when they are on a losing streak, it is no longer fun.

It is entertaining and fun to gamble but it is certainly a lie that gamblers who tell that, are only actual for fun.

Those are very funny stories that shows how soms gamblers are dedicated to gambling.
Personally, I never lied about my gambling habits to anyone, maybe because I wasn't in a situation where I had to. From the very first beginning I have told my girlfriend about my gambling activities, she handled that very well surprisingly and we ever gamble often together which makes it ×10 times better than gambling alone in secret.

I think what pushes some gamblers to lie about their gambling habits is the feeling of shame and being shy to tell others about it because of the fear of their reaction about it. It is totally normal to gamble, it is a fun entertaining activity, we should just be careful and know when to stop and when to gamble and how to manage our own actions.

It's better we tells the truth so there will be no misunderstand to us and them. We can talks to them about our gambling activity and no needs to lie because we wants to makes them understand about our gambling activity and we wants them to knows that we can control our gambling activity so far. We can tells them that we always limits our gambling activity and will not breaks our rules because we knows the consequences of lose our controls in gambling. If we can tells them without lied, they will try to understand what we wants and we can asks them to be besides us when we playing gambling so when something is almost change, they can reminds us and helps us to stops our gambling activity. They will see that we have a strong minds and really take care of ourselves in gambling so there are no worry from them to see we playing gambling.

I don't think the person telling the story lied to cover up his habit of gambling, his wife may have known about him gambling but what she didn't know was that he considered gambling the favorite part of his day and not the time spent with her. Telling the wife the truth that whenever he gambled was the best time of his day is a statement capable of ending the marriage. He is a chronically addicted gambler who does not want his partner to know how addicted he is to gambling, and an adicted gambler who will not easily change.

Well, you are right, but the other guy is right too, so, let's just come to an agreement that the both of you are right.
It's no doubt, absolutely true that the majority of people who gamble today and claim they are doing it for fun, aren't actually gambling for fun but just using that statement to try to convince their minds not to feel depressed over their losses to gambling.
I personally have been a victim to this, I can attest to the fact that there was a time in my life when I usually tell people, and in doing so, I am also trying to convince myself, that I am only gambling for fun, when deep down in me, I know fully well that is a lie, because to be honest, I am deeply hungry for a win.
We can agree within ourselves that no one actually derive joy from losing money, and even when for example, someone actually still try to be joyful after losing money, it honestly depends on the amount of money they lost, if it's a tiny amount of money, like an amount that is very small compared to what the person is earning on weekly or monthly basis, then we can indeed agree that it's possible to lose to gambling and still be happy, but then on the other hand, it's completely a big lie to see someone who is clearly losing an amount that is considered to be big, some amount on the norm, they really can not afford to lose, and still claim to be happy because they are just gambling for fun, it's a lie many of us tell ourselves just to make ourselves feel alright, mostly after having encountered loses we never planned for, this convinces our mind, and helps us not to think too much concerning the loss.

Try a deeper meaning, if you read the truth about why someone can claim that gambling is a hobby of his to seek pleasure, here I am not trying to find validation, but look at how a person treats a hobby whatever the field is, and if someone is impulsive then he is trapped in the hobby itself which causes addiction, then there is no such thing as a hobby anymore in him, because if you look at me personally I come when I want and gamble to feel happy, especially when I am with friends.

It is true that winning will bring great pleasure into our lives, and losing will get sadness is the doctrine that occurs, but it is not that simple if you understand what is called seeking entertainment in gambling, and the name of the entertainment place definitely requires you to spend money.

The majority are gambling for money, that is the reality. It is possible any of you guys is one of those gamblers who can't afford to lose and blame other people for your losses. I was skeptical of those who were saying just for fun as this is not the main reason, I might consider it if they are rich but if these words are coming from poor and average people, that is impossible.

As a gambler, we know what is in our mind when gambling - that is to win. It means that we are in the chase of money, not for fun or entertainment.

Honestly, reading this thread makes me wonder, why lie at all? I mean with so much deception in the real world it seems that home should offer respite not another arena for defense. Every day, we face challenges, work through problems and endure constant stress. We yearn to return to a safe environment where we can relax, play, and rest before facing another day.
Other side, if lying becomes not just a defense but also a source of pleasure or a thrill in gambling (wondering whether you will be caught or not), then it may seem okay. (Im lie, its not okay, its could be a sign of addiction)  :P

Lying over things like gambling doesn't show any form of responsibility. People are not meant to do things that will make them lie due to gambling. In such cases where by a gambler begin to build new ideas subconsciously within himself he would think lying is the right thing to do in most situations. But in the Op's context of writing I don't consider that a reason to lie. As it doesn't warrant lying in the first instance. Players are required not to start out a fresh idea in them that seem irresponsible. Coming up with a thought that places gambling ahead of someone else is bad. That means when spending time with such people the gambler would think more of gambling. Thereby reducing quality conversation between both people.

Hence, if the player is allowed enough time he would focus on gambling than his family. Which is wrong. The timing should not be unbalanced. A player can be more interested in gambling. But not to such an extent. It's is inadmissible, in some sense that players should be seriously focused on those that matters, non gamblers. These are the advantages a gambler has but fails to see it. without his spouse, if the player gets addicted he would face more struggle, dealing with it alone. Showing care to non gamblers is important, because things could change and the player gets addicted. So, gamblers should also be good to non gamblers especially when the player is not compulsive.

I think the crux of the issue comes down to balance and self awareness.

Gambling, like any other activity, should be something that adds value or enjoyment to life without becoming the focal point that diminishes it. The concept of lying especially when linked to an activity supposed to be enjoyable indeed signals a deeper issue like potential addiction. It's a slippery slope when enjoyment turns into compulsion and deceit becomes a mechanism for managing that compulsion.

All types of addicts start lying to their friends and relatives in order to cover their addiction.

Nothing is wrong with sharing our gambling experience with our loved ones. It helps in regulating compulsive gambling. Although the spouse must be tough enough not to get involved into gambling as well. But gambling discussion is the awareness a gambler needs to creates amongst people around him, not everyone. The important ones who could stand when things begin to go wrong in the process. So hiding the habit from such people has its disadvantages and could lead a player to suffer alone his gambling addiction. Gambling with no body to share information about how the gambling went could be boring.

I don't prefer gambling alone, even when I do, they'll be nothing to hide, especially when asked. Not just in situations like in the Op. But, a case where I'm asked if I gamble? Lying about that is wrong. It also depends on the person who asks the question, the answers can be twisted to make things clear for the person. At least, he wouldn't think of joining the game. All conversation with such people should be based on true experiences. Which could make them smile over the mistakes made by gamblers. Not promoting wins as a factor, is also a good method of handling non addicts in a conversation, so, they wouldn't think of becoming a gambler.

We need to be honest when it comes to gaming. Things get worse when you hide them. If we're being honest, thats where the power is. It is not about being weak; it is about being in charge. You know the risks and clearly define your own limits. That is sensible, and it keeps you in charge. Sharing it with others builds trust. Perhaps someone can assist you in managing your life. Thats smart to be responsible. Its not about judging; its about keeping a hobby that could become addicting from getting out of hand. Finally, the best thing you can do is face the truth straight on.

That’s right, there’s nothing to hide. This is exactly my point too. It’s possible that OP prefers solitude due to introversion which is perfectly fine. However, even then dishonesty isnt justified. The person close to them likely knows who they married and can respect personal boundaries while still providing space for individual activities. Indeed, sharing both positive and negative experiences can foster a supportive environment potentially helping to regulate compulsive gambling behaviors.

Yes the balancing is important, good you indicated that. Non gamblers should also know about the good aspects of gambling, how it could be beneficial to health, critical thinking, money and time management. Such conversation can be intriguing to a non gamblers and could result to a slight debate, between the gambler and the non gambler, on the doubts the non gambler will have upon hearing about the advantages of gambling. A lot of them know of the disadvantages of gambling, how it ruins people's finance and life. Developing their horizons of the health aspects of gambling, not to convince them into gambling, will increase the non gambler's interest on gambling discussions.

And as well could change their initial wrong thoughts on gambling to something better. Hence, gambling conversation shouldn't include a lie of any type. Sharing the reality of gambling with a spouse strengthens the bond between both friends and boost their understanding towards the need of helping a gambling addict. Non gamblers, a lot, have the initiative of blaming addicts that's why they hesitate on helping them when they mostly need it. Being aware of such needs and how it's an emotional problem, a non gambler would add extra efforts in changing or assisting a player in trouble to a better emotional condition. They'll also detect addiction easily, a form of addiction proof for any gambler.

There is no need to lie to anyone. It’s enough just to find a time and place for privacy so that no one will disturb you and control your gaming expenses. It's actually not difficult. After all, in reality it is difficult to lie. In order to lie you need to have a good memory. Moreover, lies beget other lies.

I don't think I have been an addict on gambling hence lie to cover up the habit before but I have seen lots of people lie because they are either addicted to it or they just want to cover up for their bad acts of either neglecting something important just to remain focused on gambling.

Some time ago, I was with one of my homies and he was busy predicting sport games that we all felt might be interesting enough to gamble on then we remembered we had something more important than gambling to do, we all left and focused on our businesses but this dude kept his phone beside him and later he took it and continued gambling playing different games when we were all deep into our works, we realised and asked him if he was working or following up the work and he responded yesterday but at the end we discovered he never open the work, he only opened the app and continued with the gambling.

Whenever I see someone forgoing their responsibilities in order to do something else and I know this is a common occurrence, at least to me this is a clear signal that there is something wrong with that person, and the situation you bring forward is a perfect example of this, since most of your friends could give up on gambling as soon as they remembered they had something more important to do at the time, but one of them was unable to do this, showing through his actions that at least to him gambling is more important than his work, the pay he receives and everything he can buy with it.

I'm not quite sure why an adult and self-sufficient person would hide his gambling hobbies. Don't you think it's silly enough to change your life because of other people's views on your hobbies? Personally, I think that you should live your life the way you want it, not adjust to someone. Unless it violates someone's freedoms and rights. I don't think that gambling does any of the above, so I don't think it's necessary to hide my hobby from my relatives. Whatever they think of me.

Yes I have. I have told a gambling lie before and I consider it to be a harmless white lie. I had to do it to protect the recipient of the lie and myself. I don't want my spouse to gamble. It is not a good thing. I want to gamble while she's aware and acts as my second mind in case I start being delusional with gambling habits. If she gambles and I gamble,  it won't be good for the family. She handles the cash, she hands over to me the money planned for gambling when it is exhausted, no cash is coming from her towards that area.. that's a good agreement to have. It eliminates lie, deception, and distrusts.

That's only what some people can do because they might not have any fear or obligation from their families or even from society. After all, gambling might not be considered something bad among their people. Mostly, those who hide their gambling activities do it only because they have some fear in their mind or heart, either their family, society, or religion don't support gambling or they don't want anyone to be asking questions about gambling because they don't like it.

A lot of people keep these things private because they feel like it isn't something they should be discussing with anyone, others do it because they don't want people who are against gambling to know that they gamble because then they might be considered a gambling addict or something.

There were a time when I lied about the amount that I lost in gambling, so that it wouldn't be such a big deal or cause a drama.
I also used to lie that it was just a normal match or game even though the match/game has money involve.
That was all the lies that I used back then that I could remember.

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.

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 🤣.

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..
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/23/jeFxG.jpeg

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 (https://casinos.fyi/bitcoin-casinos-advanced-online-gaming/), 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.

I think before, we can easily know when someone is gambling but now it's hard to know if someone  is a gambler because of how the Internet have token over the local casinos that's why under age people can be gambling right under your nose and you won't know because they make use of the internet only. It's because you are using the internet to gamble that's why you can be able to gamble secretly. However, I would advise you not to get addicted to gamble because it will be hard for you to stop as you are a secret gambler.

If this lie can keep you safe for a while, I don't think it's a problem. However, it is better when you lie to cover up your losses in gambling, you also instill in yourself not to gamble anymore.
If you lie but still have thoughts of recovering your losses, over time the lie will be revealed and you will lose everything, including money and the trust of the people around you.

There are others who lie because they avoid having an argument with their husbands, they don't want to be criticized, or they also think that it will be a shame for their family when it comes to their relatives.

As for me, I don't really tell my husband, but when I win, I say that I won gambling here in crypto, but I don't say that I gamble often for a month because I know if my wife will be angry with me.

There were a time when I lied about the amount that I lost in gambling, so that it wouldn't be such a big deal or cause a drama.
I also used to lie that it was just a normal match or game even though the match/game has money involve.
That was all the lies that I used back then that I could remember.

If our partner finds out that we are actively gambling and spending a lot of money, we will certainly be angry, on the other hand, if we win, they will be happy and enjoy it.  ::)

I think this is worse than being addicted to gambling. That is to tell lies especially to people who are truly important to you. Because communication is the most important thing right? And if you don't tell all the things that are happening to you especially the bad days, then they won't be able to give you the help and support that you need mentally and emotionally when you are going through that period of difficulties.

And in fact if they truly cares for you, they won't judge you and instead would help and understand your situation.

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..

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

Your neighbours are very lucky. It is not every man that has a great relationship with their spouse. Situations like are possible where the husband and wife have a good understanding and love eachother. They help, support and lookout for eachother. In gambling it is no different. We know that it is not all about playing slots, roullete and other casino games. Some spouse may also want to start a social media page on gambling, write a book about gambling and what have you. A supportive spouse makes everything easy.
