Gambling and Relationships!

[RealPhotoshoper]

I don't think its weird although I am not in favor of gambling but if that's what they want like a family member or even close friend of mine is addicted to gambling of course I will advice them to not really get into that kind of hobby. I do have a friend who was close to being addicted to gambling but he decided not to go through that phase because he realized he lost a lot from gambling and have to save a lot of money for his family of 5.

Nothing wrong with that kind situation , unless if you live at the environment where noone gamble and consider it as a very bad thing.
Gamble together along with your family member , brothers, sisters and friends at some places is a common thing.
There is a reason why mostly consider gambling as a bad habit , and that because most of the times gambling always ends so bad no matter what.

Gambling between family members is one way to have stronger ties in the family and i think there is really nothing wrong with that, sometimes people bet their chores when they gamble and in my opinion, its a very fun thing to do. Nothing wrong with gambling as long as you have it under control. Its always the greedy ones who have issues with gambling.

Right. And between family members, you don't really lose anything. Whoever wins would likely share their winnings with all other participants. And if they're into serious gambling, they can share strategies and look after each other so its actually good.

Gambling without any involvement with money is good as being said above you do gamble on house chores or any task with your family members which is also a good way on have a bonding with them as long it is not really exaggerated then it should really be fine and as long it is being dong on casual basis then theres nothing wrong with it but if you are already making it as daily habit and involves already on real money then we should really be aware.

I don't mind going to the casino with someone for a drink and a few games of whatever, but I really hate it when I'm ready to go home, but the other person needs a few more hours of play because they're chasing their losses or believe that their luck will come soon.

Having some few drinks will make your gambling experience better. I just want someone to gamble with me that gives me positive vibes. I don't want if there's a relative that wants to hang out and gamble with me. I don't want to be blamed by our other relatives if something wrong happens to his money. This is the family that I'm with, if you did something wrong they'll keep on blaming you.

I  think a couple gamblers are more vulnerable to addiction. Why? Because none of them reminded to stop. If the gambler couple is addicted then it is very dangerous. But if both can control themselves and not addicted, it would be more fun.

Yeah couple are prone to being addicted specially if both of them are having fun when they gamble. I've seen a lot of couple who got addicted with poker both enjoying the game and also their other vices.

Not only that but people that are addicted are most of the time addicted to several stuff, I have seen addicted gamblers that are also addicted to alcohol when you mix both of those addictions you get a human being that is basically a mess and that cannot control himself.

When things get out of control like this it's time to stop gambling and drinking or in some cases the relationship... Because most of times these people are together because teh addiction, they incentive each other to make mistakes and if this relation finishes the addiction can finish too or decrease the intensity (what would be the first step to start working the addiction until it finishes). But we can't generalize, many people have fun together gambling, drinking and aren't a problem.

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.

I think that it would only be weird if your gaming or yur habits in gambling is affecting greatly those whi ate in your family and relationships. This is very worrying and can cause some strain in the environment of how they function as a whole.

Every time gambling, surely we will find new friends. And that's what will make it difficult for us to leave the gambling table, because of the relationship with friends who are also gambling there.

If you both are gambling for fun there is no one to be blame because you are willing to spend your money and if you lose you will understand that it can happen, as long as you both enjoy what you are doing you will end up a day with full of happiness. Gambling should be understood as a way to have fun so you will not aim for the profit and it will not destroy relationships.

I have been with my girlfriend for quite a long time and we both want to try to gamble (in a land-based casino) because it's a good experience but hopefully we don't get addicted. I don't think it would be much an effect on us because of the situation that we are in, we don't have a lot of money to gamble that's why I think we won't be there for a long time. It's the part where we would just want to have fun.

I think you misunderstand the main topic here, as I understand the discussion is not about finding new friends while gambling which makes us hard to leave. The discussion is about your experience on gambling together with your close friends/family/etc.
I started gambling since more than 10 years ago, and I have gambled with/against my friends/neighbors. For me it is not a weird thing, I do even think gambling with friends/family is giving more fun as we can talk to each other without any worries.

you have much of experience in gambling and i guess you have a good skills in gambling. i think it will be fun thing that we can do with our friends in the gambling games while we can played together and spend our money and our time. sometimes i did this in the the past and i really missed that time because i have the best friends on that table.

My wife and I are a seasonal gambler, we gamble with friends and sometimes with our parents at our local casino and/or in our backyard. We don't actually call ourselves as an addicted gambler (but we do have a history of it, My Dad use to be an addict but after she marries my mom he changes same goes with me I've been an addict to until I met my wife). By way of gambling, It's somehow our form of bonding and we invite some friends to come over or to come with us whenever we visit a casino. Though there's some sort of awkwardness when it comes to gambling with a friend or my parents, It's hard to take the game seriously (For me) since my Dad knew all my flaws, my mannerism whenever I'm bluffing. But overall, There's nothing wrong with playing or having fun in gambling with your family and friends thus it makes the bond much stronger and tighter.

I have a family member who really likes gambling in the way where we can barely stop him. It really causes trouble in the family whenever he lost because his attitude changes to worse. When he lost in a game, his anger was drawn to us that will lead to misunderstandings. It is so annoying every time it happens.

[zeaderza]

My brother used to gamble a lot and it made him frustrated whenever he lost large amounts of money . I tried to talk him out each time but it kept getting worse until my father once had a very long talk with him and made him understand that he makes good money out of his job and he doesn't even need to gamble and that whatever enjoyment he seeks through gambling can be reachable via other budget-emotional-friendly activities and he did indeed quit gambling .

Hmm this means that he has been able to recover from this serious disease known as gambling only due to the involvement of his family. Actually I should say that you people do deserve hats off because you didn’t treat him in a negative way at all after knowing the truth.

Your brother has a good job and he earns quite well but he was actually frustrated due to the loss and hence falling in to the trap of addiction which you send your father stopped to happen with efforts.

Gambling that way is totally for fun and there's no one to blame if you did both lost. It's fun to have this type of relationship but for me, it's not fun to have this type of hobby. If both of you will be addicted to gambling and will always be attached to it, chances of losing a big money is there and I don't consider that as something that you can have fun together with that someone you are with.

For me as long you can do all your obligations in your family even if you are a couple who plays gambling there's nothing wrong but please dont be too much addiction from it what if your having a children and you are abusing too much to play ,always priority your family before anything else.If you are both addicted there are some chances that you may loose big money it will not good in your relationships

[Missolawumi]

I could leave my partner for gambling. Heck what kinda irritating attitude is that. I dont like gamblers. Its a dirty game in my view

When ever their is a meet up with all my friends we end up playing gambling but that is healthy gambling as we play in limit. Same thing when ever we all relative brothers meet we use to play gambling in night and enjoy party but same thing everything goes in limit. So i think it is not a bad idea until you all play in limit. So that it should be enjoyed as game.
