Gambling and Relationships!

[NorrisK]

It's quite the gamble to marry a gambler..

In all seriousness, it completely depends on the level of addiction of both. Atleast if both are gamblers it prevents them from doing it behind eachothers back ruining the life of the other.

Anyone who has ever been or are in a committed relationship or marriage where both people gamble? Or in a relationship with a gambler with a friend, best friend, family related etc...  Knowing you are in it together is weird comforting and gives me some sort of undefined explanation.

What does that look like for you? Your experience needs to be heard.

Well this is very common practice as friends or people in a relationship usually hangout to watch movies, play games and going to casino to enjoying the moments together. Gambling is also the same hobby to many people as there are others like watching a socer or anyother game together. For gambling you think it's weird that both the partners are if addicted to gambling. The repercussion could be a harsh one. So, yes if both the partners are addicted to gambling and they don't manage it well then their lives could be a hell with being distracted due to financial loses.

Actually, if both of them are gamblers then it will good for their personal life because both of them have same mindset which gives good understanding between them. I don't think its weird gambling is a hobby there will be a problem if only they get addicted to it.

I have an a friend which happen to be my officemate and we do gamble together because I influenced him in the online gambling.
At first it was fun because you shared ideas, by the way we are gambling in sports, but later it has become a competition so instead of helping each other we are competing but in the end we are still both losers, damn no one wins but the gambling sites, that's the reality.

Personally, I was not in a relationship while gambling, but I can say that if you are gambling safe, and you do it as a hobby and not as a way to earn money, this is not going to affect your family life/ personal life in any way.

Far more, researches show that people tends to gamble more after they exit a relationship(the chance of someone to bet after a break up is much bigger then someone who is in a good life condition).

So from that we can conclude that having an healthy relationship with someone could save you up from losing money on gambling.

Is there any problem about that?playing together with someone close to us?when the one who thought us how to play gambling is ,friends,neighbors,families or maybe the one that were in relationship..so i dont see anything important about asking what is it look like,this is just a nonsense post.better do some more appropriate issues that crypto user will be educate and learn.not something stupid post like this

[kemonojim]

one thing I can really understand in gambling is that if we are in a scope where most people think gambling is a very bad place then it is certain that if you do, the main thing you will feel is the unhealthy words heard. In addition it is certain you will be ostracized by everyone or be a joke material. Gambling is beneficial, but if we do not understand gambling properly then it is definitely a loss we will always get.

I am married, and my wife bets a bit. Though I can't say we are betting a lot like before, since we think gambling should be really minimized since we are building a family together and our money should be secured and not gambled away. But both of us still bet here and there just for fun and with very little amounts and we keep it to a strict minimum. Like we just bet about 0.001 every session and not really add more in case we lost.

I'm into a family that has some relatives that gambles. My aunt, me and my cousins are always gambling before and we are all opponents. There's no relative feeling when we gamble and the game we are playing is poker, so if there are some that was late to seat on the table he will just choose any of us to support and will also bet together with the seater. It's kinda weird since it's not normal to see people who are in the same family who games together.

Why is it strange for you? Friends, couples and even friends like to play together at casinos. I have seen on the movies people going together to Las Vegas casinos to play. It seems very normal for me, it's like people who go to amusement parks, clubs together to have fun.

I agree! Here in my place i always see my grandmother, my uncle, my aunties amd some of our relatives play cards and there's nothing wrong since they just want to have fun and entertain themselves. Although they we're not playing in casinos it's still gambling and i believe that it's much better cause they won't loose a big sum of money.

If you take "me" at the place of an observer, I won't have any problems with someone doing it because I also do it. But I will never support somebody who would completely get addicted to it and forget their responsibilities that they need to handle of their families. And if it's about me, still I don't think anybody in my family and my friends have any problems from me gambling as they know that I don't get into it fully as well as remain in my senses to stop myself at times when needed.

[zmkriel]

i've known few couple friends who played in casino together and i don't think there is a problem with that. i guess that is their way to bond so there is no question about it. it is much better than to keep on fighting just because they can't relate each other.

same here in my country it is very normal seeing a family who are gambling or even it's their own relatives are their great opponents,also sometimes me,my older brother and my father playing tong-its it is our way of having fun or a family bonding and we don't see it wrong as long as you don't hurt other people.

This is what will eventually happen the moment one person is winning by virtue of choices made while the other is losing. Personally, I don't see any bad thing in going into a relationship with someone who gambles because I gamble too this will even deepen the level of understanding the other partner in knowing what he does to make money in his spare time after all partners sometimes have interest in common things be it politics, video games, going out, sports and if making money out of it should surface, there is nothing wrong in taking it up.

But where issue will arise is when they are both addicted, that is not something to encourage because it will then mean they both need therapy because they wont be able to help each other.

Yeah it is happier if we are with our friend, relatives or with our husband/wifr because we comfort each other if we lose and we celebrates if we won. If we all have control in playing it then there is no problem with that. Playing gambling occassionally would also be a good bond.

[eternalgloom]

It depends on how you define gambling, I think most couples have gambled together once in their lives.
Could be as simple as playing the lottery together or participating in a raffle.

I've also seen couples that came by our irl poker game and they both played, there were also other women there, so it's not that gambling is exclusive for men.

[Aikidoka]

It is quite awesome and funny to gamble with your girlfriend or best friends if you ask me. As a matter of fact, you do not feel like you are alone doing this habit. However, I have never gambled with my family members because it is prohibited in here.

Added to that, friends can encourage you and allows you to play and feel at ease.

[Reid]

One thing I know is it aint awkward with my girlfriend and I. We find it very exciting sometimes and we are the ones competing together to whom will get the jackpot prize.
Sometimes we keep our cards to each other and just makes a surprise afterwards.
I do like it when I know my partner is not too greedy also to take the win. Just moderately playing and enjoying the game.

Still when you wager money there on any kind games it could make the atmosphere a little bit scary.
Make relationship between your family get broken due one of you cannot accept the losses , it cannot be avoided.
Gambling is addictive no matter you are in casino or not , everything will remain the same , really vulnerable.

In my opinion, I don't think that it is a good thing if both partners are gamblers. Because in gambling, it is not always a win-win situation. There are times that you lose, and you tend to lose big time, then if both of you lose, what will now happen to your life? You might just end up separating. So, it is still better if only one gambles, but not too much, and the other partner controls the other one.
