How do you play online/offline without your wife or family knowing it?

Now, this would be something of a thread where users can give tips as to how we play online/offline without our family knowing it. Curious how you do it.

My wife suspected me for almost a year already when I was watching a UFC channel on youtube where they suggest who to bet. Of course, I said No when she asked if I was betting. From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around. It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

The best thing you can do is to buy a cheap android phone with a Bluetooth headset. Hide it from your family and use it whenever they are not in the house or whenever you are alone. Keep your second phone in your car or in your basement so that no one knows about it. In case they do find out about this phone then you can tell them it is for work purposes and that is the reason you bought a cheap one.

I think it's better for you to tell your wife that you bet. It's a much better feeling if both of you are open to these things that you do and it's up to you what reason you'll say, whether it's a hobby or you're really into it and just prove that you're not addicted and you're still in control.

But if you really want to hide gambling activities from your loved ones then you already have been doing it and I guess others are doing the same that they do bet when no one's around.

It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

And that's why be just open to each other so that you have no fence and hindrance for what you do both.

I think you should not, you will eventually be caught, you cannot go on like this for weeks, months, you will feel guilty because this is cheating, your wife will understand if you can explain it to her when he is sober and calm like take him to date or buy her a gift then explain that gambling for you is just for entertainment.
It's better this way than getting caught cheating and lying to her.

[Wexnident]

They know, that's why I don't have much of an issue with it. Now if you're intent on keeping this as a secret, then I highly suggest having a scheduled time for your gambling sessions, this requires you to ask your family's usual schedule though so plan around that and avoid leaving anything that can leak that you're gambling, e.g. your phone unattended and without any locks or whatnot. Maybe even use the 2nd phone if needed (though unlikely, it might just bring more suspicion really). Also I don't think it's much of an issue if they see you watching analysts whether it's related to gambling or not, just say that it's an analysis of the fight and well, you were curious about it.

It'd be really great if they were understanding of it. If not though, then OP hiding it seems understandable, especially in the cases of families (instead of your partners).

What made me curious is Why you need to Hide your betting from your wife?  unless you are addicted gambler or not caring about how much you spend on it?

Example me and my wife knows how much I gain from everything , Work, trading , campaign payments and other extras that will bring me income.

and even my gambling activities happens with her consent so She knew how much my budget for this and how much i am winning(if lucky)

Hiding something that may cost us towards issues and hiding is not respectful towards our partners.

How could you call her a wife when you are keeping secret from her?

[D-law]

It's not mandatory for someone to tell his family about everything he does.
C'mon it's okay to leave a private life , I win million's doesn't mean I'll tell my family and wife all of my stuff's, no, men should have some level of Privacy.
Is gambling online now crime, this would be the weirdest thing I have seen today.

[bitterguy28]

I can relate on this , before pandemic I am a casino player (real casino) then the work turns troubled and I need to take a break and remain at home while my wife works, so literally I have no income aside from my signature campaign payments and some small trading profits.
So what i need to do to gamble is here in crypto , but the problem is my wife Knew about my payments here and I need to hide how to gamble because we agreed that i need to stop since I have no work.
what i do is while she was at work? I try buying and selling online and all the profit will be the amount need to gamble.
I borrowed my brothers old phone so even if she check my mobile she'll find nothing lol.

If you want to hide that you are gambling, you are probably addicted or almost on the way of getting addicted to gambling. Your post is little confusing, but I am guessing you do place bets, but you are lying to your wife? I don't think that's a good idea. You shouldn't be hiding anything from your wife. You will eventually get caught and things might not end well. Better talk to her and let her know that you place only few bets and try to explain why you do it.

Buying things on amazon and placing bets aren't the same thing.

Simple, keep everything gambling related to your phone. Hide it somewhere that blends to your normal apps where it is usually unnoticed.
I've been doing stuff like this with my phone especially when I am paying for an online game or a mini gambling games.
Having a gambling app in your home screen will make your wife suspect you for participating to gambling.
Also, do not restrict your wife from accessing your phone.

I guess that is best thing, hold your phone and not let her touch it. But sooner or later she will find it out believed me. So it's better to just play if she is sleeping or if she is not around. But as I have said, it will be a big problem if she found it out later.

Just tell her straight up that you are betting on game or in a sports and playing slots. And let her play too, at least that's what I did during the pandemic. But she is not looking to play like every day. Just the regular "we want to pass the time" types of playing. And after that whether we win or lose we stop.

[peter0425]

the last time I hid my gambling activities turns me into addicted gambler so i will never advice anyone to Hid their playing from their wife or love one.

Better tell them all that we do specially gambling that we knew to be addicted and really risky if we keep hiding from any one.
let them learn and understand so you can control your playing.

Why hiding that you are gambling from your wife? Not you, but pertaining to the question. I think it is not bad for your wife to know if you are gambling or not, it can help from addiction, because you will not want to be addicted if your wife knows that you are gambling. But as for children, I will also suggest that you should hide it. Women are very sensitive, she may later find out if you are gambling, but provided if she really mean it to find out about it. But we may be of different opinion about this, and I can say anyone is wrong, but the most important thing is not to be addicted, which could ruin ones family apart.

That should hit you a lot when you can spend for gamble yet not for the family, of course this happen when we lost in a gamble, you always have that regret. For me personally, I just don't tell him at all and for the fact that I only gamble a little and take always the priorities in the family. The needs come first before the wants. Not hiding it or anything but she just doesn't know how much I spend in it, I'm more like the one who handles the budget haha lol

[crwth]

To be honest, that's not going to end well. Hiding something from your family, especially your partner, would be a hassle. First of all, you are not honest about what you are doing. That shows that you're afraid of something you know your partner would be angry about. There must be a reason she would react that way, so that's lying already.

Maybe there's an underlying past factor that you have done to why she suspects you or something. It's still best, to be honest about what you are doing and be thorough on why you are doing it; maybe she'll understand.

When it comes to hiding, it's best to do it online, I think, but I still don't recommend hiding it; it just means you have a problem.

Just lock your phone or PC with a password. Always delete your browsing history and cookies/cache.
I don't have your problems because I don't have a wife/girlfriend and nobody messes around with my phone or laptop.
The most difficult part would be hiding the fact that a part of your money is missing. Some women are crazy when it comes to controlling your finances. Maybe that's why I will remain single for the rest of my life. I don't want any woman in the world to control my spending and use my money. Maybe you should have some secret savings for which your wife doesn't know.
If you ever get seriously addicted to gambling the problem will become unavoidable.

[wiss19]

What was the title of the video you are watching? If it isn't directly about betting then the problem is about her because she was too suspicious lately and slowly becoming a paranoid. It's only just a coincidence that the commentator recommended something about betting but you almost got fcked up there because of their fault so fck 'em lol. So, it's been a year since you hide your betting hobby to your wife? Cool.

This simply means that you are really good at hiding stuffs . She suggests you to buy her items? Or was it the items that is going to be used in your house? But whatever the two are, you are still in danger if ever you wasted the funds through gambling.

[ethereumhunter]

It looks like my story is like yours lol. My wife sometimes wonders whether I'm betting or just working in front of the laptop but the truth is, sometimes I bet secretly but it's only for a moment just to refresh myself while I'm resting. Luckily, I never lost control of knowing how to carry myself during gambling so the money I was risking wasn't too much and when I had enough time to bet, I would stop right away and sleep next to my wife.

[Vaskiy]

I had the similar experience. Once I was much addicted and lost big. This made her completely restrict me from gambling. For now I have a separate mobile in which I gamble. That mobile isn't used for communication needs. So, it'll be offline most of the time. When required I just switch it on, make the bets and keep it aside. So, the problem is solved and she's happy I'm out of it.

[Bitinity]

I dont how to do it since my family know that I do gambling, but they do not know how much I spend in gambling except my wife. I do not think it is something to hide from my family especially my wife. I think it is better if she knows about it so she can advise me or help me if something is going to be wrong with my gambling activity. I suggest you to do the same, tell your wife what you are doing and hope she can accept it although I believe she will give you some rules or even she will get angry with it.

[dothebeats]

That's tough. From what I've heard, the wife always gets what they want, while the husband will have to bend over backwards before they get a say on expenses. If I were on your situation, I would not show signs of me gambling. Watching a video that talks about odds is a dead giveaway. You might want to save some tipsters' websites and just read some of the predictions in there. It's usually not that easy to spot whatever someone is reading on the internet. You can easily switch or close tabs then pretend you're reading something innocuous that is completely not related to gambling. Also, buy another cheap phone that has the basic features and hide it from her. This may be teaching you to become a full-blown degenerate, but I do hope that you know your limits and that you're not spending money that you don't have because that will certainly get you killed (by your wife.)

[MAAManda]

Is hiding your gambling from your wife or family a good thing? I don't think so. We're all aware that gambling is a highly addictive behavior, and because of that, I think it's better to be open to wife and family. I have benefited greatly from being honest with my family about my gambling addiction behavior. If you can be honest with your family about your gambling behavior, they can at least help you set limits on your betting.

[Peanutswar]

Actually my family know that im playing gambling of course with the use of the money i earned and if i win it is good i give it to them but if i lose still i tell to them because to make sure they are aware to the things happening to me incase they see me not in a good condition they can easily notice my activity. Sometimes I'm playing only just to seek fun and of course we have different things needed to do in our daily lives they didn't notice that I'm doing some gambling at the same time.

You are lucky to be on family that open with gambling because you can be open to them in case you have some gambling problem. I belong to the family that believes gambling is a sin that’s why I always gamble in my room without being notice. The only downside on playing alone was you will carry all the depression when you lose while you can’t even celebrate publicly when you win. The though of gambling that family knows is very interesting but it’s just a dream in my case. Does your parent play gambling too on there childhood days because this might be the reason for there openess towards gambling activities.

[Fundamentals Of]

I am not hiding that I am gambling. My family knows that I am betting on certain sports. But they also know that I am not addicted to it and that I am only betting moderate amounts that are extra and not intended for something else. So I don't think my gambling is a problem. They're not angry at me. They are not stopping me either. It's probably because I am not failing in my responsibilities even if I am gambling.

[ryzaadit]

Watch using your phone, go to outside.

I think hiding your gambling activity is the easiest thing we all can do. Just do a simple thing, go outside on your home and find a public cafe with a good internet after that you can access it without needed to be worry get caught with your college, friend or family.

I think we all know that.

[Yaunfitda]

Just get a separate phone, put a password on it, and then simply hide to places that your wife will not find it. And then play when she is out doing groceries or with her friends. Just a question on when you want to scratch that itch, gonna be tough. Either you go to the bathroom, turn the faucet on or just mute your phone and play like every 5-10 minutes. And hopefully she doesn't seems that something is odd on you going to the bathroom more often.

My wife is the reason I gave up gambling LOL
I was addicted to it then with the help of friends and family I was able to recover from the addiction. I was not married at that time. I did not gamble for few years before starting to take the fun again occasionally. But this time I had full control of what I was doing. Then one day wife realized I am gambling again. It was strictly a no from her even not to login the accounts 😂

the last time I hid my gambling activities turns me into addicted gambler so i will never advice anyone to Hid their playing from their wife or love one.

When you are pushing something too hard it means it's effecting you. It's good to give up.

[Pmalek]

Two things:

1. If your betting causes financial difficulties for your family and you are unsure whether to use your money to put your kids through school or play slot games, then you need to take a good look at yourself in the mirror.

2. With credit cards and banks, you have bank statements and credit card statements. You don't have that with crypto. No one needs to know if you don't let them know.

[Pierre 2]

It is obviously very hard to hide your gambling habit from relatives because gambling is not one time thing. Especially sports betting is very consistent. And games like slots or cards will always take attention rather easily. As others stated its best to use another phone with it but wifey may even consider you are cheating on her so its dangerous take. It is far better not to hide anything from your nearest relatives like wife, kids, mum and dad etc.

I believe of the same thing that you've said. It's not a good thing to hide that you've been gambling, this can create trust issues between you and your wife.
But it makes sense to hide it from your family like if you're not yet married and you want to hide that you gamble because you're scared that they'll know it someday.
It will create the idea that you're a gambler and you're not that good in handling finances because that's the taboo by those non-gamblers to the gamblers that they know personally.

[Docnaster]

You shouldn't hide your gambling habit from your wide. You cannot hide or pretend for ever. And when your immediate family is against your gambling, your chances of winning a bet would reduce. I suggest you explain things to your wife and she will understand and you both will manage the situation. I remember when I have not relocated to my present country, I had a girlfriend and she didn't want me to gamble. After explaining to her, she decided how much of my income I will gamble with and the fund is always with her. When it's finished I'll wait for another cycle.

I suddenly laughed when you said that your wife is suspicious of you hehe, Of course, if your wife is not a gambler, it's normal to be suspicious of where you take the money you hold, they don't want it to go to useless -the money you and your wife have is useful.

Now if you really can't stop the nonsense you are doing to your wife, just give her what she wants so you don't have a long argument dude hehehehe

If you hide it to your wife and it take long years before he discover it for sure you will get a problem with this. Maybe tell him that you gamble for quite sometime and make her understand that your doing this as part of entertainment then just want yo relieve your stress, for sure she will understand what you do. Compare if you hide this to her for sure this will create a problem which can possibly destroy your family in the long run.

I have tried as much as possible to hide my gambling habit from my wife but all were unproductive. Sometimes I would unconsciously reach out to my phone to check my games, while on some occasions I would celebrate or become angry at a win or loss. It is just very difficult to hide one's gambling lifestyle especially if you are close to your spouse. Currently, she is aware of my habit and I have explained to her that I am using just a little part of my income for that and I also ensure that the family is not lacking any basic needs. Although she is insisting I stop it, but my wins sometimes make her smile.

You can simply do it in your office break or while you are in the comfort room or pretend that you are doing an online task like posting here in Bitcointalk, you can alternate, just be sure you are fast enough to change tab, imagination is the limit, but you need to be extra careful you can never tell, wives are good at snooping and once they have a suspicious they will look for ways to find out if it's true.

[CryptoYar]

It's okay to gamble to a certain extent. However, if you feel that I have become addicted to gambling and that you cannot live without it, you should tell your wife that you are addicted to gambling.
After all, she is your life partner and will support you during this difficult time and help you to overcome it.

But even if you are addicted to gambling, you continue to do it silently without telling anyone including your wife then, there is a high probability that you will lose everything which will put you and your family in a difficult position (financial problems for example )

In case they do find out about this phone then you can tell them it is for work purposes and that is the reason you bought a cheap one.

Extremely controversial advice - if your wife finds this phone (and this is highly likely since you need a charger for it, a contract with a mobile operator, etc.) she may think that you are cheating on her and this will be a bigger problem than gambling. It seems to me that the easiest way is to enter the casino from the phone in private browser mode - then there will be no traces left, and even if your wife checks the phone, she will not see anything.

Tip: so that the wife does not suspect, if you make bets on slot gambling, sports, poker and so on related to gambling bets.
1. Save your gambling site on your laptop and don't save it on your Android.
2. Don't be too ambitious and excited, if you watch your sports betting at home.
3. Don't use your salary money in betting.

Explanation:
1. The wife has the habit of checking your android phone when you are negligent or asleep at home, the wife is rarely checked on the laptop, the process for opening an old laptop is added with a password, at the same time try not to bet and open a laptop at home.
2. If you are too excited while watching a sports match, without realizing you will say the words (I win or unlucky lose the bet again), your wife will hear what you say.
3. Salary will be questioned by the wife if you reduce it, for example: you give your wife $500 every month and you reduce it this month $250, next month $150 and so on, your wife will be suspicious of you (cheating or gambling), the end of the story is revealed.

That's the tip I can give you so you don't get caught gambling by your family/wife.

Not everyone is understandable like your girlfriend. The stereotype to people when they hear gambling is it's something that is addicting like drugs. Like to my relatives, my cousin once caught me gambling online on my computer and my family got angry to me when she told them about it. Even if I explained to them that I gamble casually and I'm not after the profit, they still insist to stay away from it because they think it will ruin our lives. After that experience, I only gamble when I'm the only one left at our home.

So far, they don't know if I play gambling because I play the game in my room without anyone in the room.
I also never open a gambling app when hanging out with family or friends because I don't want them to know what I'm doing.
If you want to gamble or place a bet, maybe you should install an app from a casino you frequently use so that if you open it, no one will know unless you show them.
You do not need to bet with a lot of money.

[TopTort777]

What is the problem with gambling in your family that cause you to hiddenly place bets? If your family suspect you have an addiction, then why not came to an agreement on an amount you are allowed to gamble. OP, you'd better explain that shady manipulations with your phone, because one day you might be accused of cheating and while arguing with women, even direct arguments and proves does not have similar power as "I expect" or "for me it looks". In any case, who is the man in the house? Better talk to your wife and come to any kind of agreement, before you make a mistake bet.

The easiest way is not to play in her presence - did it ever occur to you? If you watch gambling videos without headphones, then naturally she will start to suspect you. And really I don't understand why hide the fact that you gamble if you use the funds necessary for purchases? Hiding/explaining their absence will be much harder than hiding your gambling sessions.

My wife suspected me for almost a year already when I was watching a UFC channel on youtube where they suggest who to bet. Of course, I said No when she asked if I was betting. From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around. It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

When I feel like I don't want to show it is simple nowadays,if you are a sport bettor during your time that you are going at work or when you are coming back from work this is the most suitable time to place your bets of the day regarding sport betting.With the advanced mobile phones everyone have now this is easily possible.

If you are a slot player than the best time is to play again in your phone during such times as described above but I know as a slot player you want tranquility and silence when playing so here the best time is whenever your wife is not around.

it seems every wife will know whatever her husband is doing and it's only a matter of time between fast and slow. In gambling you cannot hide this activity from your wife because gambling can cause various strange behavior when you have to deal with your wife when it is in a moment of financial crisis and she asks all your activities with the end result you have to admit everything. well in this context you have to be honest with your wife with gambling activities where the money you are willing to spend must be approved by the wife and also don't hide your winnings in front of your wife. doing it transparently is better than having to hide from reality.

[madnessteat]

I do not hide from my wife that sometimes I can afford to play gambling. I don't need to hide it from her because I, like her, have a personal space that we try not to violate. In my opinion, this is what trust in family life is built on.

Unlike my wife, my children do not know that I gamble, but it is easy enough to hide it from them.

[virasisog]

It's not mandatory for someone to tell his family about everything he does.
C'mon it's okay to leave a private life , I win million's doesn't mean I'll tell my family and wife all of my stuff's, no, men should have some level of Privacy.
Is gambling online now crime, this would be the weirdest thing I have seen today.

Things like this shouldn't be hidden from your wife. A strong foundation of marriage is trust and it will only make things worse if the wife would caught his husband gambling. It will be better to tell her about his habit and explain it to her. The wife will surely understand as long as the husband would gamble responsively. It all depends on a proper explanation. You can't hide it your entire life.

I, too, am a proponent of complete trust between spouses. At least my wife can use my phone or I can use hers at any time. Sometimes she watches me play slots, but she quickly gets tired of it.

In my opinion it is better to live in complete trust and if one of the spouses do not like something you can always discuss it.

You're already good at it, you kept it secret for almost a year, I think you need more ideas to keep it secret you may have hundreds of ways to hide your secret but one day you will betray yourself and besides since she already suspected you, she also finds ways to catch way, so it's better to tell her the truth so the suspicion stop and just tell her that you only use money that you can afford to lose and of course give her enough money for grocery.

[famososMuertos]

How someone who supports a family does not have the confidence to show his wife as she is, perhaps there is "bad" luck in that your partner does not like you to play, but she is your wife and she should know it, perhaps it is good ask yourself in those situations if You wife don't like it or if you have a problem in the time that you share.

Your wife is your best confidant, it's a blessing to have a close person who can see changes in your habits.

 Betting on sports, playing online should not be something that should keep us in the dark, on the contrary, we must show that it is something that we enjoy, the fact of hiding such a thing is actually a problem, so for anyone do it, seek help.

I never really felt the need to hide my gambling habits ever since I started gambling. I guess it helps that I use my own money so that I don't feel like hiding my gambling habits.  am sure it's different with married people since they have more responsibility than a single man but(this is purely my opinion) if you have a wife I feel like you need to communicate this gambling hobby of yours to her.

[Solosanz]

Did you mean we should gamble without your wife or family knowing it? why you need to hide it on the first place?

I think different person will have different personality, if your wife and family are open minded person, I don't think there's need to worry if you're gamble in front of them. Sometime they will also gamble since they need to relax of their stressful.

If you're live with not open minded person, then you're need to move away from your family and gamble only on your room in order to hide from your wife.

[PX-Z]

Not an issue for me, i mostly always tell her that when i'm betting to something like this and that. Of course, i only tell her when i'm winning, and im not telling her before i bet, i always told here afterwards lol.
Actually, it doesnt matter to her since i'm buying what she wants online if there's budget for online shopping or so.

[Cling18]

You won't enjoy your gambling journey completely if you will be hiding it from your wife. You will not feel comfortable betting when she's around so if I were you, I will just tell her everything and just accept the things that she will be saying. You don't need to hide it as long as you are not causing chaos and distress to your family's finances.

[FatFork]

I'm one of those who really feel that I should share everything with my partner, so I don't think hiding your gambling habits from your significant other is necessarily the best way to deal with it.
I mean, what if he / she finds out, and can't deal with it? What if your partner thinks you're a lying, cheating scum-bag for keeping it a secret? What if it were the other way around, and he / she were keeping the secret from you? Wouldn't you feel betrayed?

No. It's not a good thing having secrets in a serious relationship, period. Especially when you are already married. You need to put the relationship first. So the best thing for both of you to do is to come clean, for both of your sakes. It's all about trust, and that's an all-important ingredient in any relationship.

[bitzizzix]

Wives are friends for life until we are old and live always with us which I think is good and bad knowing each other even though it is a secret but in the end it will be known, so it's good to be honest.
I mean, if you're being honest and if he's angry, try to explain and reassure him that you'll stop when the time comes. And promise not to gamble often and just to have fun in your spare time and not to use kitchen money or family money, that way your wife will also remind you when playing too long.
because the wife will understand if we are honest and convincing to promise to stop in the process, and the only thing a wife can't forgive is infidelity and other than that there will be tolerance it all depends on her husband.

And if the wife still forbids and finally asks for a divorce, there is no other choice to do it by hiding and playing pretty, playing when outside the house or not when with the wife. And keep the gambling application or site as neat as possible so that the wife does not know it and there is no suspicion.
because eventually you too will stop.
and as long as you do it professionally take responsibility for everything and do it because you love your wife and children
You will do both very well, I'm sure everything will be fine. And if you choose to prefer gambling over your wife, that is folly.

[Gozie51]

Is gambling online now crime, this would be the weirdest thing I have seen today.

No is never a crime but what Op is saying is if you have a wife that doesn't like you to gamble then to avoid the quarrel you have to keep it away from her so not to always quarrel and fight in the house because of that.

It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

But you can't continue to live a life of deceit and hidding, for how long you would do that with a family without being caught. It is better you balance your betting habit and what financial responsibility you have to do in the family. You don't expect a wife not to argue when you have not provided the necessary obligation in the family and you gamble the little money away without any winning.

[Doell]

I always act normal, even though it's hard because of the emotions that arise in the brain when I gamble on a losing position, my family will not suspect the slightest if act normal as usual. By the way I have a crazy friend, he told his family that he gambled drugs etc and even his son gambled with him I think his son was 9 and 5 years old, I don't know what was on his mind but he said if something was done secretly it would definitely get caught including gambling. The action he did was education for his son but it was too extreme.

If I understood correctly he told his family that he is gambling and also do drugs to which his kids knew about it? He dont know what he is doing.

Whats worse is that if his kids thinks taking illegal drugs is normal.  Every father is  hero to their kids, whatever father do, the kids think its cool.

[smartaction]

The best thing you can do is to buy a cheap android phone with a Bluetooth headset. Hide it from your family and use it whenever they are not in the house or whenever you are alone. Keep your second phone in your car or in your basement so that no one knows about it. In case they do find out about this phone then you can tell them it is for work purposes and that is the reason you bought a cheap one.

I don't think it will bring welfare in his life. Because gambling is a bad habit.  And when he buys a phone and secretly uses it to gamble, his mind won't be on his family.  Then his family will start suspecting him more and there will be turmoil in his family over this matter . So I would say you try to quit gambling it will bring something better feeling in your life and it will save your money

[Hispo]

In my case I am not married and my family gives me a fairly amount of privacy when comes to what I do with my money, so burning some satoshis in a casino should not be a problem in my case.

If you want an advice on how to keep your bets secret, then you could listen to the matches you bet instead watching them on TV/internet, it is least obvios this way since you would be wearing earphones. In an extreme case you can also only place your bets on your phone while you are outside your home and away from your wife, then when you come home you listen to the match to know whether you won money or not.

However, as other have said you should talk about this with your partner somehow. If you cant trust your wife with your habits then who can trust on this world?
She may not like it but there is a chance you both can reach an agreement , otherwise if she discovers all this on her own it would be worse.

Whatever happens, wish you good luck.  

[X-ray]

i personally think that having a personal phone for the gambling purpose lol. it must be using pennies to bet. i meant if you are using big amounts of money to do that and your wife knew about that and that will be a disaster. that's why saying it with your wife might become the best thing for now. if you can be a honest person and im sure she will give a positive feedback about that as long as you have not surpassed your limit

I have also told my friend before, that every father is a hero for his children and a father figure is a role good model, but he is still firm in his stance. Instead of want to have a child of strong character, I also wonder why he did that, and not just one friend in fact this case may also exist in every other gambler. Indications of addiction that can't distinguish between good or bad.

Well for starters, you just do not tell them that you engage in gambling in the first place.

I remember my brother used to gamble whenever he needed cash for his education and materials. He never uttered a single word to anyone (except me) and whenever he wins, he would just flat out invite his friends for some beer and drinks. My brother believes in the mentality that he should spend his winnings as soon as possible as the money he won from gambling should be spent immediately.

He did this for 3 years until he told this to my father. Though my father was also an avid gambler (cockfighting), we all just accepted it and moved on.

Well, gambling/betting online or offline doesn't have to be that difficult to hide actually.
You an go incognito mode when you are gambling online and use crypto casino websites.
For offline based casinos I don't think your wife would be following you. So she won't know it anyway.
But the point is that why do you want to hide it from your wife. You can simply talk to her about it and come to a conclusion.

[madnessteat]

I don't understand that either. In my opinion, if a person hides something from his closest people, it means that he understands that when they find out about his actions, they will be disappointed in him. Gambling is not something illegal or immoral which is why I think it is perfectly normal to tell your wife about it.

Personally, I prefer complete trust in the family. It is unacceptable to me if my wife does something without my knowledge. That's why I also hold this position.

[fiulpro]

If your wife or family does have a problem with it then maybe you should place your family first, respect their decision and at the same time try and get over your gambling habits because you do understand that if it causes tension, it creates problems, if it's not healthy for your family and your relationship, you can try and avoid it and only do it once in a while with your friends on a vacation. I do believe it's essential to have entertainment, but ofcourse if it's causing problems in my personal life, I would rather avoid it. * Considering your family is genius in finding you out!*

[jakelyson]

I never have to hide my gambling habits from my wife. In fact, I think she bets more than I do in betting. Only she bets with friends and co-workers while I do bet online.

It is better if the wife knows your gambling habits because it involves funds for your family. She can control you if you are going overboard on betting and already risking your family's future. If you cannot do that, it is a matter of time before your family fails. If you hide it and you got busted, that will break her trust in you.

The best thing you can do is to buy a cheap android phone with a Bluetooth headset. Hide it from your family and use it whenever they are not in the house or whenever you are alone. Keep your second phone in your car or in your basement so that no one knows about it. In case they do find out about this phone then you can tell them it is for work purposes and that is the reason you bought a cheap one.

When you get busted, it is harder to explain the second phone. She might even think you are cheating on her because of the second phone. She might not believe that the phone is for gambling.

If it's not an activity that you can share honestly with your partner, then maybe you are doing too much of it or should work on being more open in that relationship. As long as it is just for fun and done with a relatively small budget that you're able to stick to within an allocated time then it should not harm anyone. Going the route of trying to hide it or even being deceptive about it is a very slippery, dangerous slope to go down. If it's ever found out, then it's more likely to break their trust in many other areas, especially when you've been denying it at various times. You should really consider being more truthful because there should be no shame in it if you have it under control, some people play video games and some people like to spice up a sports game by adding a little bet.

I think you should not, you will eventually be caught, you cannot go on like this for weeks, months, you will feel guilty because this is cheating, your wife will understand if you can explain it to her when he is sober and calm like take him to date or buy her a gift then explain that gambling for you is just for entertainment.
It's better this way than getting caught cheating and lying to her.

Just be honest with your wife and tell her that you are in betting, but that’s for entertainment only and you are betting on your extra money. That way, she will never have to argue on you anymore. And as a tip, whenever you won from gambling, treat your wife too. That way, you won’t feel guilty gambling some of your funds.

[m2017]

It's funny to see how gamblers talk about ways to gamble, hiding from family or wife. It turns out that there are a lot of such secretive players and the advice is very diverse.

But I see this situation with hiding the fact of gambling as strange and I think you guys need to change something in your life. Either stop playing, or tell about your secret activities to those from whom you are hiding. There is nothing illegal in this, but there is an element of trust. I can't say that this is due to big losses or gambling addiction, maybe just the usual negative prejudices of your family members. But the fact of hiding is an indication that you are so avoiding an open conflict, instead of resolving it, and internally feel that you are doing something that is condemned by your loved ones. How about explaining your situation to them, allaying their fears and trying to negotiate?

Certainly, it will be a disaster if your wife suddenly knows that you're gambling and with huge amounts while you haven't told her that you are gambling.
Just be an honest person to your partner and she'll definitely give you time to do what you like and that won't be an issue to you and her. As she agrees, you don't have to hide to her anymore.

[el kaka22]

I would NEVER play without my wife knowing. I mean she is the centre of my life, everything in my life is revolving around her and if she ever says stop gambling then I would, which happened a few times, and when she says I have to stop, I stop right away and never gamble. Then after a while I ask her permission to keep gambling again, restart gambling basically, and if she says no then I wait more, if she says yes then I restart again.

Maybe you would think that is not good for a man to listen to his wife this much, but when it is about an addiction level thing like gambling, I always listen to her, if I was single then I would listen to my parents, because gambling is a sensitive thing and an outsider would know better than you.

This is a funny attempt but don't you think she can still find out that op is using a second phone which can be more problems. What if the find out about the second phone? What will be the excuse that could calm her down upon she finding out. Well your opinion looks easy and simple to achieve but the later end can be very unpredictable and detrimental to the  family.
Although it all depends on the wife if she is not a type of person that agitate and prolong matters. For me I think doing and going for what you like doing best will be better when she's not around.

Do you live in a country in which gambling is forbidden by the law or by religious reasons? Because if that is not the case then I do not see the point of hiding this from your wife, because in that case you will not be doing anything that is considered to be wrong in your culture and the only thing that you need to do in order to convince her to let you gamble as much as you want is to talk with her, I know that depending on her personality this could be difficult, but in my opinion this is something that you need to do.

[lionheart78]

@OP it isn't advisable to keep secrets from your wife especially when it comes to money.  As long as your gambling doesn't affect your daily budgets, I think you have no need to hide it from her, though doing things discretely gives more fun and excitement  .  Still!  Be open about your gambling activities, I bet she will understand.

Btw, if you wanted not to get caught, you can use your bathroom as a secret lair.  Do your gambling activities through your mobile phone while you are relaxing in your comfort room  .  It may be short but well at least she won't catch you.

No. Gambling is fine in my country.
But girls are often paranoid about your activity, they can be more than a KGB spy when they know you are up to something that even asking them for dinner outside means you have done something terrible. So when she saw me watching something related to betting, she can make a conclusion already.

Because we share a laptop and desktop, it's hard to hide something. Having a 2nd phone makes sense but this will really make her feel worse like I am having an affair. Staying in the middle like not hurting her if I'm caught will at least be fair.

So far i havent experienced on trying out to avoid for family members when i do gamble but honestly they cant really just able to see me literally since i would be playing on random times whenever i do feel on doing so.

If i do play then they dont really just care since im the father and even my wife doesnt really care plus im not really spending that much compromising our family savings or funds for more important purposes.

As long you do give them good life when it comes to financial or having something everything they do need then they wont really be caring about on side things that you are involved into.

[nakamura12]

If you want to hide that you are gambling, you are probably addicted or almost on the way of getting addicted to gambling. Your post is little confusing, but I am guessing you do place bets, but you are lying to your wife? I don't think that's a good idea. You shouldn't be hiding anything from your wife. You will eventually get caught and things might not end well. Better talk to her and let her know that you place only few bets and try to explain why you do it.

Buying things on amazon and placing bets aren't the same thing.

It is possible that op may become a gambling addict even if gambling is fine in his country. If op wanted to tell his wife then it's good that his wife know about what he is doing rather than keeping it a secret but it could also cause a quarrel between the two much the same as keeping it a secret until she finds out. Having second phone a secret could work I think and avoid using the same gadget or a device watching the videos that are related in betting.

Good thing that I didn't end up in that situation. I can freely gamble even my family knows it.

But if the time comes that they will stop my gambling activity and I like to insist that I want to continue, I will just do my best to hide it from them.

What kind of method  I will use, I'm not sure.

I don't think any of this will make much of difference if you are hidding certain things from your spouse then you have created a enough room for suspicious and distrust in the family. There is no need , how can you confine a phone to the car for betting sake. Lol what if the woman is going to the car from time to time or taking a ride with the husband ? Don't underrate women, they have the "seventh" sense still functioning, they have that kind of sense to sniff out when something is just not right.

Honesty is still the best policy and it's more so at home, you have already kept it for a long time she will eventually find it out about your gambling, if you are not a compulsive gambler you should tell your wife about it, the best time to tell her about your gambling habit is when you won a big amount, of course, give her a nice present or buy her something that she wants for a long time, it's more of a peace offering asking her permission to play openly, but don't tell her that you're been doing this for a long time.

From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around. It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

You already had hidden your gambling activity for more than a year, I think you are capable enough to hide your gambling activity to your wife.  Why ask some tips here when you are already successful hiding your gambling activity from your wife.  At best, you should be the one giving tips on how not to be caught gambling by our wives.    Though I am thinking to keep my gambling secret, I must act naturally to not raise suspicion.

If you've able to hide up yourself for that long then you are really indeed good at hiding.lol. If your wife had some suspicions that you are involved with gambling then its better to admit it
and try to convince her that you are just doing this for fun and as long you arent spending much money then your wife wouldnt really be that mad at you.Its better to live on a home
where you arent really that having those feels that you are hiding from something.Nothing beats out when you are free on things that you should gonna do as long
you dont forget your responsibility then it should really be just fine.

Why create a problem over a problem? There should be no cases like that if you tell your partner about your gambling activity from the beginning. It's now hard on your case to be comfortable in doing gambling now that your partner doesn't like it and always results in a long argument. You have created this mess.

In my case, my family, partner, friends, and anyone who knows me, are aware of my gambling activity and how much the range of money I'm putting into it. Since they know that I'm still responsible for my priorities and doings despite my gambling activity, no one from them even give me the advice to stop or refrain doing gambling. Our gambling experience will be smooth if we do not hide it.

I guess what you need to do is to tell your partner and be honest. It's a distraction if we are gambling behind shadows and we are at our own house.

Yeah? That's why i always tell my wife that i gamble, and she knows my limit too, just doing my spare both time and money.
But the thing is im telling her after i bet lol.

it's not easy hiding your gambling activities, because at some point later on, your wife will discover your betting activities. what if you forgot your phone and your wife saw it? so that's trouble on you. better be open about it, accept whatever she will say. and maybe make an arrangement with her. like betting within your budget. for sure, his wife already knows but maybe she's just looking for proof. and if that happens, that's a war...

I think this is wrong and not good for the person's relationship with their family.
First, because playing hide-and-seek ends up consuming your energy and making you always tense, because you need to lie and control your emotions.
Second, because you are much more likely to become addicted to games, as you will not have anyone helping/supporting you to control the time and money you spend on it.

It’s always advised gamble when you can afford to lose.
If you can show your wife the trust that you have the potential to win the bets that you are placing on sports events, then definitely your wife won’t stop you.
In my case, my family don’t interfere in my business that I do on my laptop, so hence they don’t know that I gamble some of my money.
If they find out also, then definitely it won’t cause a much trouble. As I do not gamble often. I only place bets with low returns and less risk.

[n0ne]

It is always good to keep your gambling practice informed with your wife, because we don't know when things will happen wrong. Also, this can limit you into gambling than getting addicted. If something happens worse and prediction go out of control, then it is the wife who can stand with you and console you. If she comes to know about it all of the sudden, it can turn to be a disappointment and the same can lead to big problems.

[Adbitco]

Does it really matter when your wife sees you watching matches?
This can only happen when you don't watch football and from my concern lady's knows that men are addict of football and they love watching it despite anything it doesn't mean she should gets angry with you while watching football in your house.
Your presentation about what you were doing matters a lot, say you gave the match much attention at this point she won't be comfortable with it seeing that you are gambling and wife dislike and hate that with passion.

When next you can pretend to be sleeping inside room while she's in the seating room watching her favorite series, you could use your phone on a headset without anyone know what you are watching with your phone.

But sometimes, it can trigger a fight between him and his wife because some wives do not like to see their husbands gambling secretly or telling the truth to wives. Maybe many wives will advise their husbands never to gamble again because the situation now is different. If husbands continue to gamble, let alone spend a lot of money, it will be risky for the family finances. Maybe the wife can help if the husband asks her to help him stop his gambling habit and the wife will support him.

[noorman0]

Does it mean that the wife takes issue with her husband when he plays? Continuous avoidance will cause problems in the end. I don't imagine as long as you play by hiding it won't disturb your seriousness and psychic calm. Especially when one day we suffer a big loss and we can only think about it alone.

It's good to hear the occasional reason why it's a problem. I guess the wife will let play as long as within the limits of a small loss.

I don't have a problem with my wife,  whatever i play or watch, she doesn't care. I also have a special room where only me I can go inside. but, some time ago when still living with my parents, where he likes to grumble when I play on my laptop. I went to the garden and coffee shop sometimes all day until I'm satisfied.

I have a solution for you, give your wife hope if you win a bet, you will gift something to make him happy.

This. I wouldn't actually mind the issue of him hiding stuff from his family if the issue stemmed from them stopping him from gambling. Pretty sure OP can be responsible for himself at this point, heck hiding it may even force him to limit his game time and the costs to spend on playing. I'd say arguing about gambling is fine and all, but stopping it completely without respecting that one side wants it can be disrespectful of sorts, especially if the person involved was rather responsible. Now if it's affecting their lives negatively, then that's another thing.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

It's very simple. I don't hide. But I don't gamble too often or in large amounts. Of course I am not a problem gambler either.

Also, playing poker I usually win money, although I don't play very often nowadays.

It's something I discussed and made clear at the beginning of the relationship, and I haven't had any more problems. I suppose I was the typical problem gambler who says he doesn't bet much and usually wins more than he loses but then the woman notices he's lying, I would have had problems.

This is not my case.

[acroman08]

Does it mean that the wife takes issue with her husband when he plays? Continuous avoidance will cause problems in the end.

this is what I think too. continuously hiding it would ultimately be an issue if the wife finds out. she might even think that you are cheating because of all the secrecy.

It's good to hear the occasional reason why it's a problem. I guess the wife will let play as long as within the limits of a small loss.

I agree that talking about it would be the best action. if the wife has an issue with it perhaps try speaking with her and find a compromise that would make everyone happy.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I laughed so hard after reading this because you are simply just playing with fire. You should, first of all, know the kind of woman you married before you do some certain things. If you know she'll not be happy about it, if gets to find out herself, then why do it? I do think if she gets to know by you telling her before she finds out is way better. The only issue is that you shouldn't spell out the truth in full. You know, just make the story you tell her to sound cool and she might even apply her 7th sense in helping you with tips to win.
Also, you could not tell her at all, after all you are the man. Just don't use or lose funds meant for the family for such games, because it is bad luck. Use your own legitimate free cash, and please try not getting addicted, in that your attention becomes divided.

What you say is right, but we can't expect win all the time. What to do when we end up with loss. Women won't easily accept loss and for that reason they will be happy when gifted out of the money won. At some point they'll say what we do is wrong and what we earn is enough to survive. I too don't have any problem with my wife, and if I loss while we're in need of money she used to feel alot. For this reason I manage to say I haven't bet anything and hold the money borrowing from friends and give to her to make her happy.

[rby]

i personally think that having a personal phone for the gambling purpose lol. it must be using pennies to bet. i meant if you are using big amounts of money to do that and your wife knew about that and that will be a disaster. that's why saying it with your wife might become the best thing for now. if you can be a honest person and im sure she will give a positive feedback about that as long as you have not surpassed your limit

I support the idea of carrying your wife along in gambling, it will give you peace of mind to bet and not hiding around and bet nonsense. There might be disadvantages of carrying your wife along, example your wife will make you not to stake a high amount of money. When you go for high stake, she will remind you of an uncompleted project in the house  The presence of your wife will be your regulator which I believe is fine.

I do not have the right answers and suggestions for your questions, because I have never done that without the knowledge of those closest to me.
I personally think, communication and trust are very important in a relationship. once you make a mistake then you will be given the wrong stamp in the eyes of your wife.
as well as activities related to hobbies, especially gambling. in a long time, I no longer visit land-based casinos.
However, I still do online casino gambling activities and even then only play soccer gambling, not with other types of gambling.  my wife knows what my hobby is, we trust each other, because I will not do anything excessive.

Like you rightly state, 'your wife'. Well, I suggest you both be 99% open to each other. If you do it secretly, perhaps, with a different hidden phone, or hiding the app, the truth is, nothing is hidden under the Sun, she could find out and think you're cheating on her, etc, so to save yourself from too many explanations you can find a way to work on her emotions, then get her to your side. I hate to use this word 'subtly blackmail her with the amazon stuff' (but it is what it is), and then get her to your side, but your can't tell her always how much you bet.

Final advice, please 🙏, bet with wisdom (be cautious when betting). Remember, you've got a family to cater for with the funds.

Cheers man.

Excellent comment! And probably the best advice, in marriage both should be open to each other, hiding things just leads to other problems, by default, the longer you hide something bigger problem you can expect in the future. Even more important is advice about responsible gambling, many of us have families to take care of, and spending too much will cause big/huge problems!

I have some friends who hide "things" from their wives, and sooner or later everything comes to light. But before that, there are many argues and fights, it's like that with suspicious minds! So be open with your closest ones, and don't create yourself a problem with gambling with money you can't afford to lose!

[molsewid]

My suggestion is, if you really don't want to have problem in the future about your hobby of playing gambling then you should share your story and share your thoughts with your wife, you and her has already a connection if she really understands you she will help you in some things and will help you to moderate your gaming as well for you not to get addicted not unless you have done some before that make you fall into debt without her knowing that thing, but being honest to her will not be a problem, you should be more nervous if you still didn't tell her that thing.

^ That is good advice from you.
This causes trouble in the future when your wife knows everything in the future, more worst if your relationship with your wife will ruin and becomes separate from each other.  I rather tell her to know my hobbit and it could be she will understand and help you to drag you out when you are addicted to gambling. We should tell our family, relatives and even friends about our hobby so that there someone will tell us if they will find out not a good outcome on it.

That is a though question, one side I understand your desire for gambling and think that in any relationship people need to have some personal time to take care of themselves. On the other side is the big issue of lying to your spouse over such a long time. A few white lies don't hurt anybody, but lying about gambling for more than a year is a big deal and can ruin your relationship. I have been in a similar situation where I was trying to hide my gambling activity from my sister, we are pretty close and she uses my tabled and PC regularly. The first thing I did to change the name and the icons of all the poker Apps I use. Now the only like some random games I like to play and she would never open them and don't thinks about them twice. On my phone I use a separate browser for only gambling and sports betting. Important is also to turn of the keyboard memory function so it won't autocomplete in all the betting words.

Its better not to find a way amd bring yourself the confidence needed to tell what you're actually doing instead of faking anything. Obviously with online it's easy to hide as long as you don't go bankrupt but hiding something will actually gives us a guilty feeling or atleast to me.

If the OP is not joking and it has already come to the point that he is playing with the money that should be spent on goods from Amazon, then of course the whole situation has already gone too far and I would call it a pronounced addiction. The problem is that he does not try to fix the cause of the problem (gambling addiction), but only asks for advice on how to hide its consequences.

[pawanjain]

I don't understand that either. In my opinion, if a person hides something from his closest people, it means that he understands that when they find out about his actions, they will be disappointed in him. Gambling is not something illegal or immoral which is why I think it is perfectly normal to tell your wife about it.

Personally, I prefer complete trust in the family. It is unacceptable to me if my wife does something without my knowledge. That's why I also hold this position.

You are absolutely right. We should out ourself in the other's shoes and think from that perspective.
What if her wife does the same. Will he accept it and let it go ? Wouldn't he want that her wife should have told him the truth.
Most probably we wouldn't like that so the same goes for us and telling her about it would be the best thing to do in this case.

This dude is lowkey living like a bachelor even though he has a wife already. Your money or any of your properties is your wife's also, so I don't really get it why you should keep it a secret with her. The problem always arises in this kind of thing, everything you do, you should tell your wife because that's how marriage life works or you don't know how to act like a real husband, maybe.

Playing gambling will most likely about losses, and once you suffer from a great loss, it's gonna be a big problem for you and for you wife as well. So think about it, be sensitive and responsible enough to tell your wife about it and you guys should talk about it

It's hard when your wife finds out about your gambling habit after a huge loss it will cause disagreement and quarrel, so tell this before the worse happens, you can't control your gambling all the time, there will come a time when you need to exceed your allocated time or lose money, you can talk your wife about it and will let you if you request to play in allocated time and money, you cannot keep a secret forever, better stop now or tell her about it.

Most people afraid to their wife since most likely their wife would force them to completely stop gambling, the thing is they're still want to gamble and don't want to get controlled by their wife. So they will keep gamble and hide it from their wife, this will make a trust issue between both of them which is not good. This is why consultant is very important in this matter, you should need a third party who have better answer than you both.

When ended up losing, then still tell your partner about that. It's hard to keep that only from yourself. If our partners know that we do gambling for a long now, then they will be aware that at some point, we will lose decent money. Expect wonderful and good advice, if not, then still respect their comment about your loss.

We are the ones risking the money that is supposed to be used on our household that's why we are not in a place to be in bad mood over them if they will give us some advice about our loss. I'm sure they will not say stop but rather they will try to convince us to pause gambling for now or take a break for a period of time.

Yes, this is his main problem, and instead of telling his loved one everything and trying to solve the problem together, he gets more and more bogged down in problems.

It seems silly to me to run away from problems that will remain unresolved. He urgently needs to get his act together and tell his wife. That is the only right thing to do in this situation, because cheating always leads to worse consequences. In addition, he will not be able to cheat himself.

[chaser15]

Good point lol. Instead of changing the habit, OP wants to have advice on how to hide that stuff from his partner.

None of our business as that was his life but actually, since OP has already successful hiding that stuff for over a year, then I think he already knows how to solve that issue and just wants some other advice as his choices probably.

It's more comfortable to do stuff directly at our home if our partners are aware of what we are doing be it gambling or anything else.

[madnessteat]

^

It is necessary to hide something from strangers and not from relatives as in most cases when a person finds himself in a difficult situation, only those who know about this problem and are not indifferent to the victim can help him solve it. I believe that there is no hopeless situation because I know people who were able to overcome both gambling addiction and alcoholism and even hard drugs.

[Shamm]

Nahh! honestly before I'll play offline gambling which is what comes up to my mind is that it's okay if I my self will know that I gamble and I don't want my parents know it. But as sayings said that ( theres no man/woman that can hold a smoke in their hands) so in my situation after how many months I gamble then my unlucky day had come then my parents caught me gambling. Then that's the time I'll regret. So if we are in percentage  it's a small percentage that our family did not notice what we have doing.

lol I'm not an addict. I rarely spend $50 for a week on every UFC fight night. I was just keeping it to avoid argument because she will look at it the way you guys are seeing it. It suddenly blow up  like am about to destroy my family when I was just betting on UFC and boxing fights. Not even poker or blackjack.

In an argument, I always give a way for her to win. I have to hide my UFC betting because I don't want my kid to hear us arguing about it.  It will make me look bad in front of my kid. That's just it. lol  I really thought this thread will help someone like me have some clever ideas.

Haha. Your title is somehow implying that you have a gambling because it’s purpose is to hide your gambling habits to your family. Most user doesn’t read much the full content of the OP when the thread already received a lot of replies and just go to the last page to reply on others opinion. Maybe it’s time now to lock the thread since it’s already received a lot replies and you might received more speculation about your gambling situation when you prolong this.

If I was in your position, I would have told her the truth as it is better than hide it from her for too long time as it can be even worst in the future for your relationship.
Fortunately, my wife know what I'm doing especially if it is related to money (including gambling, trading, investing) and it is not a problem for her as long as I know how to manage my money and time so it wont affect our life.
You should tell her the truth if you ask me, explain and assure her that what you are doing is not something bad.

Most people afraid to their wife since most likely their wife would force them to completely stop gambling, the thing is they're still want to gamble and don't want to get controlled by their wife. So they will keep gamble and hide it from their wife, this will make a trust issue between both of them which is not good. This is why consultant is very important in this matter, you should need a third party who have better answer than you both.

I agree with that trust issue if your wife finds out your problem instead of you telling them the situation, you can't control the outcome of your gambling activities in worse case scenario you can lose all your savings and that can start ruining your family, it's unacceptable for your wife that because of your gambling problem they will be involved and they will suffer. Though instead of 3rd party you can start telling the truth before things go behind your control.

For sure, if you can explain the situation, your wife might understand your case and if you are not that addicted yet, she can help in limiting the amount of money that you can use.

Much better to allow your wife to handle your savings good for money managements.

But sometimes, it can trigger a fight between him and his wife because some wives do not like to see their husbands gambling secretly or telling the truth to wives. Maybe many wives will advise their husbands never to gamble again because the situation now is different. If husbands continue to gamble, let alone spend a lot of money, it will be risky for the family finances. Maybe the wife can help if the husband asks her to help him stop his gambling habit and the wife will support him.

This. I wouldn't actually mind the issue of him hiding stuff from his family if the issue stemmed from them stopping him from gambling. Pretty sure OP can be responsible for himself at this point, heck hiding it may even force him to limit his game time and the costs to spend on playing. I'd say arguing about gambling is fine and all, but stopping it completely without respecting that one side wants it can be disrespectful of sorts, especially if the person involved was rather responsible. Now if it's affecting their lives negatively, then that's another thing.

Yes, as long as he can be responsible when he gambles, the wife probably won't mind. But most wives will advise their husbands to stop gambling or reduce their gambling activities slowly. But if the wife immediately asks her husband to stop the gambling activity he has been doing for years, his husband may have objections. But it will depend on how husband and wife can communicate it and openness is highly recommended to find a solution for their family.

Now, this would be something of a thread where users can give tips as to how we play online/offline without our family knowing it. Curious how you do it.

My wife suspected me for almost a year already when I was watching a UFC channel on youtube where they suggest who to bet. Of course, I said No when she asked if I was betting. From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around. It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

If I was in your position, I would have told her the truth as it is better than hide it from her for too long time as it can be even worst in the future for your relationship.
Fortunately, my wife know what I'm doing especially if it is related to money (including gambling, trading, investing) and it is not a problem for her as long as I know how to manage my money and time so it wont affect our life.
You should tell her the truth if you ask me, explain and assure her that what you are doing is not something bad.

This is the easiest way IMO, though be prepared for a no when it comes to your gambling activities. It's great to be honest and all but it's kinda unfair when the wife can go on a shopping spree and the husband who normally provides for the family can't even spend something for himself. But yeah, if the conversation about this goes perfectly smooth, and that both sides understands where the other is coming from, it is possible to convince your wife to let you do your own thing while keeping everything in check and regulated as much as possible.

I don't think you should do that at all. What do you think will happen when your family/wife finds out that you are a gambling addict? I can tell you it won't be something pretty. If you are not overdoing it, then there shouldn't be any problem. If you are not an addict and your wife/family still would get mad, then you should tell your family that it is not their business. If it is your wife we are talking about here, then you should explain her what you are doing. If she is not agreeing with your actions, then you have two choices. Do what she says or leave her.

You would really be needing to tell everything into your wife or else then you would really be ending up with that kind of option whether you would be leaving gambling or your wife would leave you.
Its not something healthy if you are hiding something on your wife or family members specially this kind of activity does really spend out money but its actually on your own choice.
If you are still not get caught by your wife until now then just do on things which you do know that it could neither be good or bad.It totally depends on you.
In overall then i wouldnt really be tending to have something to be hidden specially from my wife.

[OgNasty]

Why would you do something if you’re so ashamed of it that you can’t even be open and honest with your family or significant other? If you’ve gotten to the point where you’re hiding your behavior because you know it’s wrong, then you have an addiction, not a hobby. You should speak with someone and live a life you’re proud to take credit for.

[BitcoinPanther]

@bittraffic, it looks like all the suggestion is pointing you to admit your gambling engagement with your wife.  I also find it to have no reason for you to hide the fact that you are a gambler.  You might probably enjoy it more when you do it on the open since you do not have worries about your wife finding it out and caused a misunderstanding.  Honestly, I also hide my gambling activity from my family but the moment I opened it up to them, I feel relieved and enjoyed my gambling session more since the worries are all gone.

That is true, a life to take credit for is better, if I noticed that my wife is hiding something he ought not to hide from me that can harm our family, I will not trust her like before. We are family, the truth we tell each other will strengthen our relationship, that is how I see it too. I can not hide it from my wife, but I still think about children, if letting them know that I am gambling, I am thinking it is not proper to tell children about it. All I can tell children which I think I have mentioned before on this thread is to just let them know about gambling addiction and what to do that could be of help.

I also see no reason to hide anything you do to your family, especially gambling, because if you win, your family will be among the people who benefit from your gambling profits. The only thing you should keep hidden from your family is something that is highly prohibited by society; if you are abdicated to something like that, you can keep it hidden from your family, but I see no reason why you should keep gambling hidden from your family.

[sunsilk]

I think it's better for you to tell your wife that you bet. It's a much better feeling if both of you are open to these things that you do and it's up to you what reason you'll say, whether it's a hobby or you're really into it and just prove that you're not addicted and you're still in control.

It'd be really great if they were understanding of it. If not though, then OP hiding it seems understandable, especially in the cases of families (instead of your partners).

Well, there's really a justification why someone has to hide his gambling activity not only to his wife but also to his family. There's a valid reason why many are doing it.

But, if you can tell it directly to them then that's much better so that both of you won't hide anything that you do secretly. It can be a reason for a marriage to fall because you're not telling it to your wife.

Or for family, it could lead them to suspect you at all times.

Based on my personal experience, it's very hard to keep this secret from everybody, especially your wife. The more you hide, the more you are prone to lose so better tell her that you are doing this gambling activity and explain that it is for fun and you only gamble extra money that you have, if she listens then good if she insists that you stop it then it is up to you how to convince her that this is just for fun.

Bottom line, you should tell to avoid surprises in the future as this will not be a secret all the time.

Honesty will also give you at peace when you're playing.
At least you are not hiding and always looking over your shoulder.
Whatever you agreed upon with your wife, is much better than hiding it.
Because you will be discovered also later on, and that will give you much trouble.

[STT]

No need to hide if theres no argument over what you can or cannot 'spend'.   All gambling money should be considering spending and then your winnings is what you get to keep.   Not keeping a solid record book or line between money for bills and leisure money will invariably lead to upset in a family for fairly obvious reasons, applies to anything but with gambling the lines may get confusing as you will sometimes double your money or more.
   I do believe in taking some winnings off the table so they cannot be lost, never roll over everything to the next bet but cant tell people they they have to learn personally to some extent.

[makishart]

I meant if you wanna be a dishonest people and then your close people will not respect with your decision especially your wife. Being honest was a very important thing. I meant if you can't even say the truth with your wife and she will be marking your as a liar. People can be respect as long as yo are also become respect with them too. I think that i will say everything to my wife rather than being a dishonest person like that.
Remember that if you have been marry here. it doesn't matter what it is and you need to be honest with her

Well, it's best to be honest to your wife if you really gamble. IMO, it's not fun to play if you're doing it secretly just because you don't want to argue with your wife if she become aware of what you're doing. Be open, its not healthy in the relationship if the partner is hiding something. Moreover if you're in her shoes how would you feel? Hence, talk to her and gamble with her permission if possible.

our wife will suffer everything if we lose or win in gambling because they are the one who is responsible in budgeting and taking care of us and our children .
why  need to hide from Her?
maybe having an agreement will save the day? have a deal if how much you can spend and when you can play, with those it is not only gambling but also limiting your chances to be addicted and be irresponsible father and husband.

I can exactly relate on this , because In my first year of crypto gambling? i tried Hiding to my wife because surely She will never agree because that time she is in her delivery time for our baby , but after she finds out? we almost lost our relationship as i turned out spending every single money in my pocket.

For sure, if you can explain the situation, your wife might understand your case and if you are not that addicted yet, she can help in limiting the amount of money that you can use.

Much better to allow your wife to handle your savings good for money managements.

if given a chance to start over again? this is surely what will I do to prevent those problem we faced back then.

[Reatim]

Simple mate, Just make sure that you have a Funds that she has no Idea , I mean from Sideline of Crypto income , so you can gamble online without here noticing.

You can play inside Bathroom? or even outside your house pretending that you are playing Online game lol.

Off the sounds and delete the History of searching and never installed Apps , delete every after playing lol.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I don't think any of this will make much of difference if you are hidding certain things from your spouse then you have created a enough room for suspicious and distrust in the family. There is no need , how can you confine a phone to the car for betting sake. Lol what if the woman is going to the car from time to time or taking a ride with the husband ? Don't underrate women, they have the "seventh" sense still functioning, they have that kind of sense to sniff out when something is just not right.

I guess, you mean, that most women have what is called "Premonition" or in other words "Strong feeling" The kind that no matter what the man explains, the wife won't believe it. In that regard, I seem to agree with what you said. But, the man will be surprised because he has been doing it for several years, in short, the husband is good at hiding nonsense hehe.

[madnessteat]

^

When two people live together for a long time, they begin to sense changes in their partner. For most gamblers, losing causes negative emotions that eventually spill over to their partner. If they don't know about their partner's gambling addiction they become suspicious and follow them and eventually find out the truth. Not everyone knows how to forgive cheating so I wouldn't do that.

[Webetcoins]

i personally think that having a personal phone for the gambling purpose lol. it must be using pennies to bet. i meant if you are using big amounts of money to do that and your wife knew about that and that will be a disaster. that's why saying it with your wife might become the best thing for now. if you can be a honest person and im sure she will give a positive feedback about that as long as you have not surpassed your limit

I support the idea of carrying your wife along in gambling, it will give you peace of mind to bet and not hiding around and bet nonsense. There might be disadvantages of carrying your wife along, example your wife will make you not to stake a high amount of money. When you go for high stake, she will remind you of an uncompleted project in the house  The presence of your wife will be your regulator which I believe is fine.

If you are sure that your wife will not be angry seeing you gambling then why not? But if you already knew the attitude of you wife that she isn't into that activity then you better do it discreetly. In my case I am lucky to have an understanding wife. She is not angry whenever she sees me gambling and she even encourages me to deposit more lol but that is because I am always on a budget when it comes to gambling.

Of course, before I do this I will make sure that I already paid the house bills and already gave most of my salary to her. If all husbands are like that then I don't think there will be a terror wife but sometimes husbands are avoiding their responsibility on their family.

[RockBell]

If you don’t want your wife or family member to know that you betting online is just to do it when ever every one is not around or rather arrange your games and go to any betting shop to stake your game , I bet you once your wife or family members find out your funds are been used for gambling is going to be a long discussion and argument and almost every of your actions will be monitored so the best thing is just to go to betting shops or play while they are not around or go to the rest room to play your game or rather go out of the house to safe your self the stress.

Spending your own money is something, getting addicted to spending is something else. Especially if you are not getting anything in return for the money that you are spending. Your wife don't necessarily need to know about the ice-cream you ate while you are at work but if you spent half of your monthly income in a casino now that's something she needs to know about because no matter how you look at it, you can't explain it in a good way. If the wife finds about it on her own, that will be a very good reason to end that marriage.

I agree with your statement. Women are really smart. They take their time in finding evidences that will confirm their hypothesis or suspicion. In the OPs case, I am pretty sure the wife already knows but she is waiting for the perfect time to catch him red-handed. When you hide your addiction or a bad habit, the resultant consequences usually spills over to the other members of the family. What I would suggest the OP does for him to have rest of mind is to find the best time when the condition is just right to speak with his wife in an honest manner. She holds the cash and should give you a certain amount to gamble with. You shouldn't come back for more if you lose it.

It's a partnership that you have sworn when you take a bow, if your wife tag you as a liar the respect will no longer be there, the most important spice of married life is trust, without trusting each other will push love away, I don't want to be emotional but it will be affected so better to think about it if you are still in doubt whether to tell your wife your gambling activities.

It's much better to hear all the hate and in worse case your wife might ask you to top right away, but you need to choose the right thing than losing a good life.

The problem with your strategy is the following:

- imagine that one day you earn 10 million dollars, but that same day you get very sick to the point that you end up in the hospital, in the hospital you get so weak that you can't speak but you can see and hear what people say and your wife and you start to regret that you don't have the money to pay the hospital costs so they can cure you, your wife doesn't know that you won 10 million dollars because you didn't tell her and never told her anything about gambling. at that time you will start feeling sorry for having lied and hidden about gambling. the problem with lying is that one day they always catch you and at that time the consequences are devastating

my advice: always tell the truth

For sure, if you can explain the situation, your wife might understand your case and if you are not that addicted yet, she can help in limiting the amount of money that you can use.

Much better to allow your wife to handle your savings good for money managements.

Most people know that at the end of the day the casinos are the only ones that make a profit, that's why a married woman will hardly accept that her husband stays playing in the casinos because they will be afraid of the husband losing everything. Every day there are always bad news talking bad about people who are playing, especially talking about addictions.

Interesting story but the benefits are real that we must be honest with our partners even though the wife is difficult to accept the gambling activities that you do behind her back. But the situation from the above narrative is very different, because your wife will be very happy if you win the 10 million dollar jackpot and your wife will not confirm the details of the source of the funds. Whatever it is, honesty is the main thing for a long relationship, so stay honest even if it's hard to accept but he will get used to responding to the same problems.

[uneng]

Sorry, but if you are by the side of someone who you have to hide things, it's better that you don't have that person by your side. People who keep insignificant secrets from their partners can also keep secrets of every proportions, which might prejudice the another person in real time without he/she knowing about it.

if you like gambling, just confess it. If your wife or family will like it or not, it's their problem. We don't have to hide our personalities, who we really are and what we like to do just to please others. Of course we have responsabilities and we always pay the consequences for every of our acts sooner or later, but transparency is necessary in every relationships, so they can bear fruits and evolve healthy. Otherwise, relationships are just a waste of time and energy for both sides.

[abel1337]

I don't suggest hiding it from your wife but there are several things that you can do to hide it. If you don't want to spend another money on buying another smartphone, Try logging in into the casino using incognito mode when you are alone. This way your wife won't find any history of gambling logs in your phone unless she is spying on you or techy enough to know.

Though, It's way more better to let your wife know about your gambling habits and explain to her about it. You can just buy her a gift whenever you win atleast your wife will be happy letting you bet and won't mind you doing gambling. Hiding things might end up on misunderstanding and could end up on more severe problems. Remember! Happy wife, Happy life!

As a husband, you have every reason to decline some demands women bring but if you are a gambler and have free money to throw away to casinos, you should do everything at home to make them provide the little they always demand otherwise they will think you're running from your responsibility and wasting money on things that will make you lose what you are supposed to use at home.

Why would you do something if you’re so ashamed of it that you can’t even be open and honest with your family or significant other? If you’ve gotten to the point where you’re hiding your behavior because you know it’s wrong, then you have an addiction, not a hobby. You should speak with someone and live a life you’re proud to take credit for.

Some women aren't understanding and don't want to take yes when it comes to gambling. If a man is engaged and becomes a family person, you have to settle down with some arguments for peace to reign sometimes.
Am I the only that thinks UFC aren't too addictive like the other sports, they are more of entertainment and fun than other sports gambling that can easily addict a gambler and lose focus.

[kamvreto]

this is one of the funny threads and enough to make me laugh . How should you hide from your wife to play gambling. do you always lose so you keep hiding? I don't recommend that you play gambling if your wife will be angry if she finds out. If you want to be completely anonymous, use all kinds of disguises from using incognito mode on the device you use for online gambling and using money that your wife never knows about, but that will be quite difficult. there must be another undetected flow of funds.

[Oilacris]

The best thing to for you not allow your family member to know if you play gamble is to be always conscious to take take everything about gambling that will implicate you away from you. Like if you do play offline gamble you can always try not to allow slip to be with you, same thing goes to your phone too.

You wont really be that scared on hiding something if you arent compromising something yet gambling could really be just a past time of yours or stress reliever and as long you arent spending up that

much then it should be fine but there are people who do really see gambling as a negative thing and if your wife do tell that you should stop or quit then better follow it or else you do know on where
it would be heading but if you do tell everything on your wife and she doesnt care on what you do as long you dont forget your responsibility then lucky you but if not then you should stop
to avoid some argumentation.

To me - if you are not allowed to gamble make sure you don't gamble.
Because - when you play in stress and hiding you don't see the result they way you expect to get. Doing anything with free mind brings in different result than the occupied mind.

Agree on what you had said is that whenever you do hide something then you would definitely lose the essence of entertainment or enjoyment since you do know that you are hiding something and trying
your best on not on being caught by your wife or loved ones because if they do then you do know on what would gonna happen or something that you dont like to happen.So it would be better to stop
for good and would neither quit up gambling or would be telling to your wife that you are doing gambling and just like on what Oilacris said that usually your wife wont make out any
reaction as long you are doing your responsibility as a family man.

I have a friend who bets on his phone at work, mainly on football matches and he does everything there. He bets using a separate account that he charges via ATM and doesn't do anything related to gambling at home. When he wants to check the matches he does it when he's outside shopping or taking out the trash.
The best way to keep it a secret is to not be addicted. A casual gambler won't have a problem with betting from time to time and never talking about it at home.

That would be the case but for a careless gambler such as playing gambling at home yet their wife noticed almost everything when there's a difference of the money you have left or let their wife see what they were doing. Although, it's not advisable to hide something from your spouse since most of the time they are going to ask when they already knew just to get what answer you would answer to them if ask. I guess there's no secret of what you are doing if you are a bit addicted to it, so I suggest to keep it moderately to avoid enough suspicion.

Bets at work? I think it is not a proper activity to do at work, only addicted gamblers who don't know where/when a suitable place to bet. TBH, I never bet once I am at work, I only bet when I have done my work/job. Betting or gambling should not bother our job, do it only in our spare time. Sure, to avoid our family knowing it, don't do it when we are gathering with them. Only bet when we are not with them, it can be at home or outside of our home.

The best way to keep it a secret is to not be addicted. A casual gambler won't have a problem with betting from time to time and never talking about it at home.

Indeed. Once we are addicted, it has difficult to control ourselves. It may lead to betting excessively. It is no longer healthy betting without any consideration of whether it is at the proper place and at the right time, even worse if we never limit the number to bet daily.

[Viscore]

Now, this would be something of a thread where users can give tips as to how we play online/offline without our family knowing it. Curious how you do it.

My wife suspected me for almost a year already when I was watching a UFC channel on youtube where they suggest who to bet. Of course, I said No when she asked if I was betting. From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around. It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol

Well the argument won’t definitely stop because you keep hiding from her the truth. Just be honest and tell her about mate, after all your money is also her money since everything is conjugal when married. Who knows, she’ll be supporting you in some of your bets as long as you never gamble the funds reserved for the bills and emergency funds. That way, betting will be more exciting.

[livingfree]

There is no way to hide it forever since your family member will know what you do on gambling websites sooner or later. My suggestion is to talk and explain the difference between addicted gambler and the gamblers put bets sometimes. Probably, they will understand and let you gamble with caution.

The reason why someone is hiding that he gambles is because of the acceptance and probably a family reputation that will make the guy hate that they're not a gambling family.

At first, they won't understand it but eventually, they'll come to tell you that you should do it moderately and the same goes for your wife. The really best way is to talk to them.

Because a time will come that you might get caught by any of them and you have no choice but to admit it since you're caught on act.

I'm not married yet and I don't live with my family anymore and that's why I don't have to hide when I gamble. but the trick I used when I was living with my parents was to not allow anyone (including my parents and even my girlfriend) to touch my smartphone and laptop. I'm lucky enough to never tell my girlfriend about my gambling activities because she will definitely tell my parents when we fight lol.

I agree with you. It is better telling the truth to wife. As long as, he limits the money for betting, I also believe his wife will accept it. But make sure to bet normally, make a certain time to bet, don't bet every time (timeless).

Anyway, I am not sure a wife wants to support her husband to betting or gambling, it is something impossible. But she may allow it with an agreement at least. I'm also a married man, my wife never supports me to bet or gamble. However, she allows me to bet as long as it doesn't bother my time for family, limit the funds, and know when the right time to bet is.

Most of the time where wives wont really be supporting on husbands that do get involved with gambling which is understandable considering that this do really imposes up some risk on getting wrekt on financial.

You cant really be sure that you would really be that able to handle yourself or make yourself avoid on possible addiction specially if you do engage with gambling on an active manner which is susceptible
into that kind of thing which it would be most likely your wife will really be telling that you should stop on what you are doing.

Hiding would rather be worsen up your relationship yet its never been recommendable that you should hide something from your wife.imho

[agustina2]

Hiding would rather be worsen up your relationship yet its never been recommendable that you should hide something from your wife.imho

Hiding something means that we are admitting that we are doing some crappy things that it needs to be hidden from our partner.

Just trust our partners that they will not go against us if we tell them that we are gambling.

In return, we should be responsible for those household responsibilities even while we do gambling.

[khaled0111]

The only reason I could think of why someone would be so worried of his wife/family knowing about his gambling activities is either because he is addicted or because he gambles with money he is supposed to spend on his family (depriving them from some necessities).
Instead of looking for ways to keep your gambling activities a secret, you should have the courage to talk to your wife about it. If she is a reasonable person then she will not object as long as you are gambling just for fun and do not spend more than you should.

I can't advise you to keep gambling, and I also gamble, but if I had a family that I need to provide for and they solely depend on me, i think the best advice I can go e you is to stop gambling, that's how no one would find out about it, unless you are really good at it and you are in profit and you can bet with only what you can afford losing, but even in that case you might start losing control, I didn't answer your question but I hope I helped in someway.

Lucky for you that you have no family still so you can do anything with your money? but this does not give you enough reason to gamble much.

respect your funds and keep them intact , just take some part for your gambling activities and maintain big enough for your future.

[Cryptmuster]

Never even thought about keeping it a secret from my family. If you are responsible for your own budget and are responsible for what you do yourself, then why should there be any secrets? If there is an understanding of risks and competent budget management, then you will simply see what can bring you money, and where losses occur.

We are a family that really respects customs and still adheres to the norm that those who are unmarried are under the control of their parents.

I think it should be a rule of thumb that we only get to spend money in gambling such as in betting the money we worked hard for and really own. Personally, I find it disappointing the moment I know or see someone spending their parent's hard-earned money to luxurious activities that the former don't know about. If you are still under your parent's care, then you shouldn't use their money for not-so-important activities especially if they are giving it to you for other important purposes. It's hard to generate income, therefore someone must value every cent they didn't really worked hard for and only spend it for the things that their guardians told them to such as using an educational fund for education and not on drugs or other sort of vices.

Let's learn to respect our parent's efforts to make us go to college despite the high tuition fees. It's no joke to save especially with the inflation rate nowadays. Despite knowing that it's their responsibility to send us to school, we must learn how to appreciate and be grateful to them by fulfilling their obligations. We can show it to them by spending the money they give appropriately and of course, studying as much as you can, giving it your all if you are still studying.

I don't know how things are in your country, but in our country many students combine studies with work to become independent of their parents.

If I found out that my child is gambling with the money I send him to live, I would be very upset. I believe that if a person decides to gamble, he should spend the money he has personally earned, not the money his parents give him. Think about it.

This has been a struggle for gamblers who came from religious families. Some religions are against gambling and even refer to it as a sin while some sectors see it as morally wrong because it undermines the virtues of work, industry, thrift, and service to others. They believe that it's fun and entertaining but ends up being highly addictive and potentially ruinous.
But as for me, gambling isn't a sin but only becomes dangerous when handled the wrong way and is being abused. As long as we know how to deal with its risks and we could play responsibly, gambling will never be wrong.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

No matter what you do, you get caught in the end. I tried several different methods. But in the end I either got caught or made them suspicious. When you are caught, you are simply caught. No problem. Everything is open. But if you make them suspicious, you cause them to follow you like a cop. It's a problem. Nothing is open. You are entering a tense process where you are constantly faced with new questions and observations. This is not a pleasant situation. I no longer hide my passion for betting from anyone. I've been in this mode for a long time and I feel happy to be like this. I think being honest with them makes our social relationships better. After I was transparent with them, I realized that I had less problems with my close circle.

That's what I think too because if you messed up, they don't know how to help you because they don't know about your problem. That's why most people became depressed when they lose because they don't have anyone to share their stories and also they won't get any advice because they keep it only to themselves which is not really good. That's why psychiatrists exist because they help people with some addiction and before you go to them, it is recommendable to consult your family first because they know you better.

Another point to note is that even if we hide the fact that we are playing gambling from our wife or family, it will be revealed one day. As long as you are winning most of your gambling games, it won't affect your life but if you start losing games (which is the case with most of gamblers), then for sure your wife will ask where the money is going. It could lead to more complications as she may think you have a girlfriend and you are spending money on her.
So, better stop playing gamble or tell your family that you are involved in gambling but will try to limit it so there is not much monetary loss.

This created a lot of problems in our relationship and made her very jealous. If we forbid something to our wife or girlfriend it creates mystery and she will be even more motivated to find out what's going on. It only takes one careless day to leave things unlocked and she might open it up when we are at work or university. I think it's better to try and hide in plain sight. Making things as uninteresting as possible for her to not give any attention to it. But then again the best would be to not hide in the first place and be open with each other.

The last part of your statement value the most, if you handle it incorrectly it will turn against you, I mean we already see the bad side effects of being addicted to gambling, if you go that far for sure you'll be ruining your life so it's best to have someone who knows your concern and the best for that is your wife/partner o your love ones,

with them knows your participation, they will be able to help in controlling your engagement, though it's true that most of the time gambling addicted person is always in a process of self-denying,

 Meaning to say that it's really tough to accept the truth that your engagement is already un-controllable and you already needed deep help from experts. Sad to say, but you better to watch it out, not to allow yourself turning to that kind of problematic gambler.

I think that you should not follow the crowd, but have your own point of view and respect the work of your parents. For example, you participate in a subscription campaign and you could gamble with this money and use your parents' money for its intended purpose. This approach would help to form the right attitude to money.

[Tumanggor]

my family doesn't know I gamble because I never told them about my activities, my country labels those who gamble as criminals and I don't want to be labeled like that

So far I am very comfortable not telling my gambling to other people (friends, colleagues and family) because there is no profit either. hiding things about gambling in my circle makes me live calmly

You are their property, that is why they have the right to check you out or your things so not allowing them to borrow your stuffs will only make them suspicious and even if you don't hide your phone or lappy but if it has a password on it, that will still be the same. Why not use an app hider instead? You can hide your browser or whatever items you want to hide from them without being caught not unless if they are also a computer geek like most of the guys.

If your girlfriend of wife is very allergic with gambling then both scenarios that you propose are bad. That is the reason why some will just choose to hide their gambling hobby.

into that kind of thing which it would be most likely your wife will really be telling that you should stop on what you are doing.

Indeed. A wife knows that betting or gambling may risk financial stability. And it also can have an adverse effect on psychological/mental. Considering these possible results, no wife naturally supports her husband to bet or gamble. However, if we can ensure that we bet or gamble for fun only, our wives may understand us. Betting for fun will be easier to control emotions since we don't bet/gamble for money-oriented. Even got losses, we are easier to forget them and never think to use money exceedingly to catch winning. It is different when we bet/gamble for money-oriented, we must expect too much to win. This will lead us to spend all our money only in a single day.

Regarding addiction, it is sometimes difficult to avoid. No one can ensure that he/she won't be addicted. But if we know how to bet/gamble in the right way, we may lessen the possibility of being addicted.

Many gamblers that are truly gamblers and i mean the active ones have all they do openly exposet to their wife or family member because gambling is something they cannot hide for long, i so much se the newbies amd those not too addicted to playing games to be the set of people trying to hide their feelings about gambling which eventually may not last as well before it got exposed too, but some of us enjoy the pleasure of watching games right at home before the family but try to hide the gambling we do while in our closets.

[Issa56]

You can't hide it from her forever, so is better you just open up to her, no matter how you hide it from her definitely she will know one day and am sure she will be disappointed because you have been lying to her, so just tell her the truth and wait for what she will say, if she ask you to stop them ask her for reason why you should stop, if she is having a good reason then I think it will be better if you listen to her. Am sure if you are not addicted to gambling she won't say anything but gambling addiction is not really good it can affect you both financially and mentally.

And in the first place, we don't need to hide anything, especially from our wives otherwise, trust will change. I'd see better if our family will know what we are doing, in fact, it was just gambling, and the more they know about it, the more they will understand and even the reason that would stop our addiction. Maybe the concern is about financial matters that most of the wives won't allow us but this matter should be talk in both parties in order to avoid misunderstanding.

We know that once trust is broken then you cant turn it back forever and your wife would really be always have doubts because on simple things like this you do really still hide.
What more on other big things? for sure she would already doubt your honesty thats why its really better not to hide something on your wife because once you've been caught
then you cant really changed up the past and that would be a regretful thing that you have done which you would wished that you hadnt done it on the first place.

Why gambling online,you will not go to call your wife or your children to come and watch you gamble,as long as your phone is with you,you make your stakes and take a gamble on it,if it plays for you,it plays,if it does not,you still accept it like that.But the reason why the gambler's wife and children will get to know about it is maybe when you loose,and you made a stake with a huge amount,if you are not careful,the emotion that will come with it will make you want to scream which will alert your wife and your children.

[X-ray]

If one really wants to keep his gambling life style unknown from his family is to be extremely careful by keeping it private.  What you don't tell or inform people nobody will know about it. It is nothing too hard to keep it unknown,  what is important is decision to keep gambling lifestyle private to one's self. Sometimes we do things without knowing about it except we make decisions to disclose.

You shall not tell others but if you can't become a honest guy with your wife and that would be a very different situation. You must care with your family caused by your wife must know everything about that.
Remember if your wife may allow you to play as long as you will not being so addictive with it. im seeing so many people have been saying it with their wife and as long as they can control it and their wife were allowing them to play.
The only problem is when someone become addictive and it will be making so many problem to happen like selling everything to play gambling once he has no money left

[inthelongrun]

If you have a family then you should be open to them. You can talk to your wife and set a small portion of your income for gambling. But if your wife is against it and you can't stop gambling then it's a problem except if the amounts are only minimal to nothing. When it's minimal to nothing and your wife is still against gambling then you can play when she's not with you? You can use a browser instead of downloading betting apps. But first, you need to think deeply, because maybe your wife is right and you're already gambling much more.

It's not just an addiction problem, gambling is linked to the household's economic situation. And don't get me wrong, women are more conscientious when it comes to household shopping, LOL.
I spoke last night with a friend of mine who in the last few months asked for help depositing money into a slot site with my bank account. Apparently he intends to reduce the frequency of gambling after discussing with his wife (say bickering) who is judged because her hobby is a bit disturbing monthly expenses even though I know that she is not an addict.
In conclusion, if you want to stay in control of your gambling spending or avoid addiction, then you should involve your wife to control your gambling money.

I'm not married yet and I don't live with my family anymore and that's why I don't have to hide when I gamble. but the trick I used when I was living with my parents was to not allow anyone (including my parents and even my girlfriend) to touch my smartphone and laptop. I'm lucky enough to never tell my girlfriend about my gambling activities because she will definitely tell my parents when we fight lol.

then what is the problem if her telling your parents when you are living on your own now? meaning you are still under your parents decisioning ? lol you can choose your own path and no one will dictate what you need to act for your life,
they are only here to advice you for something what is wrong and what is right.

I'm still in college and in another city, I'm currently in my final semester, my parents still send me money, if only my parents knew I was gambling then I'm afraid it would burden them and make everything difficult for me. We are a family that really respects customs and still adheres to the norm that those who are unmarried are under the control of their parents.

oh I see , Yeah then that is much better to hide or forget about gambling at all mate, you are still college and still not gaining your own money, best to use only the signature campaign payments you are earning for your gambling activities and never let yourself engaging aside from that money mate.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

Well the argument won’t definitely stop because you keep hiding from her the truth. Just be honest and tell her about mate, after all your money is also her money since everything is conjugal when married. Who knows, she’ll be supporting you in some of your bets as long as you never gamble the funds reserved for the bills and emergency funds. That way, betting will be more exciting.

I agree with you. It is better telling the truth to wife. As long as, he limits the money for betting, I also believe his wife will accept it. But make sure to bet normally, make a certain time to bet, don't bet every time (timeless).

Anyway, I am not sure a wife wants to support her husband to betting or gambling, it is something impossible. But she may allow it with an agreement at least. I'm also a married man, my wife never supports me to bet or gamble. However, she allows me to bet as long as it doesn't bother my time for family, limit the funds, and know when the right time to bet is.

- Wow, I wish all gamblers' wives were like your wife, just letting your passion for gambling go.
I wish I could call you an idol.

However, the beauty of your wife, she has faith in you even though she knows that gambling is not good, as long as you don't neglect your obligation to your own family is okay.

Then the beauty of you, as a gambler is that you know how to manage yourself when you are playing in a casino online. I hope all gamblers have the characteristics and strategies that you have.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

My wife suspected me for almost a year already when I was watching a UFC channel on youtube where they suggest who to bet. Of course, I said No when she asked if I was betting. From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around.

A wise man once said "Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well" which actually means that whatever you have decided to do, you should always try to put in all your best. Because gambling actually is not a sin or bad thing if only you gamble responsibly, because currently now by hiding this from your wife, you are actually living a double standard in your own house, which is not actually the best thing to do, because as a member on of this forum who is  on a signature campaign that requires at least 10 post in the gambling sections, watching football matches is the only way to get latest info which enable you to effectively communicate here on the gambling board and gets paid for doing so. So I think the best way forward on this issue is to make your wife understand that the Gambling which you do is just an added source of income to you.

I'm sure your wife is complaining because you haven't won any good sum of money from gambling, because if you some day win $1million and you told her the money was gotten from gambling, I bet you, she will be the one forcing you to gamble from that very faithful day

Being open is highly recommended in this case, especially if it is your wife because, after all, you live with her and if anything happens to you, she will suffer as well.
Maybe you still want to continue gambling for a little money and, you need to ask your wife if she allows it or not.
It is important to say if you play gambling with him, there is no misunderstanding between you and your wife.

[bitterguy28]

I'm not sure if this is appropriate , but can we just let our self gambling outside our houses? if we really wanted to Hide from playing then better play outside their sight , meaning we should deal in gambling when there isa  given time or allocate time not close to them?
i never tried hiding because I am an open person that dont wanna make things complicated so instead of hiding I will tell them directly no matter how they react and decide .

Everyone has interests that require money. Women as well as men spend money on themselves (cosmetics, some procedures, hobbies), so talk to your wife can find a compromise that will help protect the family budget and not give up gambling. I have always believed that discussing some issues is the best solution. In my opinion, it's just stupid to lose your wife's trust because of gambling.

This OP speaking. I have to indicate because it seem only the first post is being read.

Majority seem to advice not to keep secrets to their wife. Its nice that you guys share same view of relationship to your wives. I'm not however that very open to her about my activities whenever its about my sports betting.

I give everything to my wife and kid thats for sure. My salary but I also take whats mine to maintain equality. When you are married and have already passed the phase where you have quarelled already whos the boss in the family, you might really set aside something for yourself. My advice is to take a wife for 10 years, you might understand why some dont want everything shared to the wife.

My solution might just be to buy a separate laptop for myself and not share anymore with her and maintain privacy between us.

Yes and why not? I think playing outside is the most appropriate way of gambling and it must be done only on a dedicated gambling places like a casino. That is to avoid our family to get influenced on this addictive activity. The main reason why this isn't followed anymore is because there are now online gambling and there are smartphones which we can carry anywhere.

It's important to play only gambling when you have an extra time and the time for our family shouldn't be comprised. That is for them to feel satisfied and won't suspect you by the time you go outside. You know your family and I think you know that they won't rage once you confess your gambling habit but for others, confessing it will only give them a lot of complications so they choose to hide it instead.

Its indeed stupid and you would regret it for the rest of your life whenever you had broken up on your wife's trust.Just like on my situation where i had committed some mistake and she had never ever
had that trust ever again on me and its really a hard thing for you to mind off that particular manner and its a regrettable thing.If you dont like on being on this situation then you should
avoid on hiding up something from your wife because if there's something you've been hiding then you cant do it forever and theres a day that those things or secrets will
really be revealed or be known thats why its not really worth on doing so.

If you have that point of view there's nothing to argue about that, it's also your decision to make if ever you pick and choose not to tell your gambling activities with your wife, I agree on your point about having a wife for that long time I just smile when you mentioned your example about who's the boss as for sure many will relate to that.

About buying a new laptop and have privacy, that's a call that will depend on how civil you and your wife are in taking that kind of action,

maybe we do have differences in terms of experienced and how we treated the situation, but if there's no obligation that being taken for granted and all your responsibilities are completely covered, the chance that your wife will respect that decision of yours is considerable.

If you're wife do sees that you had just fulfill your obligations well and been responsible into your family then for sure you wife would really be approving or wouldnt mind on what are the things you've been dealing

Yes, i cant blame other people no matter what the gender because we do always  hear up negative things when it touches about gambling.

[tabas]

I'm not sure if this is appropriate , but can we just let our self gambling outside our houses?

Being tied to someone will need you to ask permission of the things that you're about to do such as gambling.

if we really wanted to Hide from playing then better play outside their sight , meaning we should deal in gambling when there isa  given time or allocate time not close to them?

You can do that but you will lie on your partner on what you're doing and where you're about to go. That's what unfaithfulness is and as someone who's attached to a partner, you will have to think if that's the right thing to do or not.

i never tried hiding because I am an open person that dont wanna make things complicated so instead of hiding I will tell them directly no matter how they react and decide .

That's good of you and just keep doing that.

There are some wives which are selfish and doesnt mind about the happiness of their husbands specially on other activities and its true that not all would really be that opposing on what you would gonna do as long
you had fulfilled your duty and responsibility as a husband and a father but just like on what most people been saying on here that you should not hide something on your wife so that you would not end up on hiding
and stressing yourself and keep on hiding on the activity you've been doing but also you should be mindful on not to exert too much risk or putting huge money on gambling because sooner or later
it would be resulting into something negative which might you unexpectedly for it happen.

It's really good to be open about your personal matters to your wife because you are already committed and should act and decide as one. Your partnership strengthened with marriage should have a strong foundation which should be honesty and trust. If you will keep secrets from your spouse, then expect misunderstandings later on. Because being secretive can lead to series of arguments once the other one suddenly finds out and is against it in the first place.

Discussion should be done in a relationship. If you want to gamble, you can tell to your wife and then from there, communicate what you want to do and why do you want it. If you are confident that you can provide, then adding leisure activity wouldn't be a problem. As long as you know your priorities such as providing your household's needs, most especially if you already have children, then you won't be lost because you'll properly allocate a part of your budget only in gambling. After all, we should only risk what we can afford to lose.

Communication is the key for a relationship to workout. If you are a good provider and a responsible person, for sure your wife would let you relax and do some entertaining activity once in a while to avoid burn out and of course, to reward yourself as well. But if your wife knows that you don't have the sense of responsibility in spending money, then most probably you'll have a hard time convincing her to let you gamble. I think this is one of the major reasons why some men do not let their wife knows they're gambling. Because once you get caught up, you might be lost and the risk is high too.

So far I have been gambling, my family didn't know that I was doing it because I was gambling with money that wasn't really used, meaning that there was special money that was set aside for gambling without disturbing the needs at home and I had to be able to control myself so as not to make excessive deposits. because it will destroy your economy when you can't control yourself.

If you are truly using money that is not meant for important thing then I see no problem why you need to Hide your gambling activities mate?
let them know so maybe there are support or cheering when you are playing that will add attraction to Luck joining you?
Am not sure but i think there is no really an issue in your part playing gambling .

[Issa56]

Why gambling online,you will not go to call your wife or your children to come and watch you gamble,as long as your phone is with you,you make your stakes and take a gamble on it,if it plays for you,it plays,if it does not,you still accept it like that.But the reason why the gambler's wife and children will get to know about it is maybe when you loose,and you made a stake with a huge amount,if you are not careful,the emotion that will come with it will make you want to scream which will alert your wife and your children.

No matter how you hide your phone or when gambling you won't call your children or wife, to be honest with you am sure you can't hide that forever, your secret will be exposed it might just take time, sometimes you might even forget that you are with your wife then you open the gambling site which you have already be boosted, gambling is not what you can hide forever. Just think about it how will you be in the same house with your wife and you think you can hide it for life from them that you are a gambler, you are a man just open up and be honest to her, you don't have to keep on lying and hiding things from her. If I marry I will let my wife know that am a gambler but I only gamble for fun and relaxation and am not addicted to it.

Yes, i cant blame other people no matter what the gender because we do always  hear up negative things when it touches about gambling.

Different people have their difference in terms of acceptance, I value that statement in terms of negative impressions with gambling activities most if not all seen that negative impacts of gambling participation though in some cases, there are open-minded people who are okay if they seen their love one's doing things like this for some entertainment practices or some socialites practices. We can't conclude anything since like what I have mentioned there are difference in taking this kind of matter and we don't know what type of person that will judge the activities.

So far I have been gambling, my family didn't know that I was doing it because I was gambling with money that wasn't really used, meaning that there was special money that was set aside for gambling without disturbing the needs at home and I had to be able to control myself so as not to make excessive deposits. because it will destroy your economy when you can't control yourself.

In this case, you are not required telling anything since what you mentioned is outside with your daily budget, spare money
that can let go in case you losses it, but like what you said, there's a need of controlling yourself and not to allow excess deposit
as it can be the start of doing something un-controllable.

That's given, when you go outside your wife would never know obviously, but you're going to be suspected with a different thing other than gambling for going out more often.
Betting at the comfort of your home is still a better option especially during weekends when you can spend time with your family while secretly betting on your favourite team. My personal preferences in gambling is sports. So, there's no way my wife will suspect me I'm gambling though sometimes she knew I'm betting with my office mates, but online gambling is a different thing.

Yes, that's true because when we lose the trust of our wife because of gambling, the wife will probably be stricter and will always ask us why we ask her for money.
The wife will not easily believe our words; of course, there will be quarrels between us.
Indeed we need money but that does not mean we should try to make money from gambling.
There are still many ways to make money, so we must be creative in thinking about how we can make money.

I also do not understand why some people hide their hobbies gambling from their wives because gambling is the same entertainment as drinking beer in a bar with friends. I understand when we hide our gambling from our employer, colleagues but not from our wives as only the closest people can help us if we suddenly cross the line between gambling for fun and gambling addiction.
