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

[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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
