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

[Lanatsa]

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 he may allow it with an agreement at least. I'm also a married man, my wife never supports me to bet or gamble. However, he 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

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'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.

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 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.

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.

Your family must be really cool and understanding. Coming from a home that is religious doctrine would never understand a bit, society has set a standard for gamblers as irresponsible people that's why they don't show people that they gamble.

In my place, you hardly see varsity students who don't use a sportsbook, they gamble to survive and gamble for fun combine even as they do their outside work to support their academics, sometimes I do feel it is too many Ads of bets they see that do contribute to this behaviour.

My country's minimum age to start gambling is 18, that's an adult. It is up to him to use it wisely as long he doesn't ask you for another upkeep.

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 might seem like a good idea at first but it's not going to work long term. I tried it myself with my ex girlfriend and it didn't work, she kept asking me why she isn't allowed to look at my things and what am I hiding. 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.

Girls, no matter whether they are wives or GF, they will always keep a close eye on you, on your mobile, laptop, and other belongings. It is impossible to hide your social and gambling activities and one day or another you will be caught.

Think of a situation where you tell your wife that you play gamble and think of another situation where you are caught playing gambling whie you were denying it all the time. Which situation do you think is worse

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.

And if everyone starts jumping off the roof, will you do that too? Personally, I doubt it.

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.
