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

[nurilham]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

And if your wife is against it, you better stop gambling and ask her to help you because quitting gambling is very difficult for people who have been gambling for too long.
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.

[bittraffic]

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

as long it wouldnt really be attached on 3rd party relationship or speaking on other girls then it should be fine.Actually this is really that subjective because not all wives are the same which even some do say
that it might really be just be fine in this case but there are women who cant really just able to avoid on not to mind bad things or impressions about gambling.
Yes, i cant blame other people no matter what the gender because we do always  hear up negative things when it touches about gambling.
