Lies told to cover up gambling habit

[GxSTxV]

Those are very funny stories that shows how soms gamblers are dedicated to gambling.
Personally, I never lied about my gambling habits to anyone, maybe because I wasn't in a situation where I had to. From the very first beginning I have told my girlfriend about my gambling activities, she handled that very well surprisingly and we ever gamble often together which makes it ×10 times better than gambling alone in secret.

I think what pushes some gamblers to lie about their gambling habits is the feeling of shame and being shy to tell others about it because of the fear of their reaction about it. It is totally normal to gamble, it is a fun entertaining activity, we should just be careful and know when to stop and when to gamble and how to manage our own actions.

Why he act like he broke a very critical thing? come on, a lot people lies almost everyday!

If you have a food and beverage business, will you tell someone about the secret of your business e.g. your supplier, the ingredients, cooking skills, and your profit every month if they ask it?

Same to this case, lying if the best time is into a bed with her is fine, but it's just not okay for you that you're an addict and not want to cure your addiction.

I feel like his wife needed that lie He's probably a weirdo if he's really waiting to lock himself with his phone, regardless of what he's doing there, pooing, masturbating, or gambling.
Yes' we sometimes have to lie because people expect that from us. They don't want to hear the truth.

I've never lied about gambling because I do it with my own money and I use cryptocurrencies so nobody knows how much I won or lost. It doesn't affect my social life and finances, since I consider money put aside for gambling as lost. If someone ever asks me about it, I won't lie (unless it's the IRS ).

[Zigabel]

You could possibly say that such a lie could be deemed a white lie—those insignificant ones that we say to avoid hurting others or because the truth is more complicated to explain. Although I also believe that it's best to be open and straightforward, lying can put you in difficult situations if you're caught, because eventually you will be. However, this isn't the worst part; I find it extremely saddening that the favorite part of the person in the Reddit post is to hide in the toilet in order to gamble, or generally speaking, to be forced to hide what you're doing. 

I understand your point completely, sometimes in oder to avoid too much explanations that will arise from telling the truth because sometimes they may not be able to understand completely the truth the way it is especially when it has to do with gambling like this, sometimes people just like the reddit guy will just hide to even avoid bringing to the knowledge of others about their gambling habits so they don't get t o lie or even defend a truth that's been told. Sometimes these are just mechanism to help them still maintain their relationships which they still find very important to them away from gambling so in other to protect it they keep the drama away.

I think it will be even more helpful if it can be spoken about with their patterns probably in a way that you get them to understand that you gat it in control and it wouldn't be detrimental to the family because most times the fear of the effects of gambling to the family could be reasons why some patterns will want to condemned and criticize the habit.

I never lied to cover up my gambling habits, because I don't think it's necessary. When you lie you are attracting bad karma for your future, so it's definitely not an alternative if you want to to walk a good path in life. In practical words, it means that when you lie, you are creating relationships where people won't feel comfortable to trust you. They will have a negative view regards you when you lie to them. Therefore, your presence won't be valued anymore, just like your opinions, statements and promises. It creates an environment of unstability which inevitably will destroy the family on long run.

Maybe for some people these little lies are fun and reasons for jokes, although in fact they aren't, and shouldn't be encouraged, even if done once in a while. Moreover, lies to cover up gambling practice can be very dangerous, because once the family members identify the patriarch of the family is having issues with his gambling habits, it can be too late, because the money lost may be already a large sum of the total funds they have disponible. So, be careful with harmless lies, as in the end they might not be so harmless like it seemed for first.

I've only ever lied when holding my phone thinking I was playing a game when I was gambling, but when my wife asked what you were doing “playing Cand Rush” 

You have a friend who lies almost exactly like my own friend, but he confessed to his wife he lost money on the road while driving but what happened he spent all his money playing slots, in order to protect himself then the friend said to protect himself.

Many stories are habitual to cover gambling in any way, they do this not wanting to be stressed after losing a lot in question by other members, even though this is bad behavior there are still many people doing this habit.

so many people tells lies to cover up their shit, so that is what I mean by some persons because if you are married and you are a gambler who gambles almost everyday you will recover yourself up when you have spent the money that you are supposed to spend in your family and you spend the money outside the family based on gambling you must have one or two things to cover up the lies so that they will not be a problem between you and your wife, that's the reason why men tell lies

We do tell lies if we do see that it isnt really that affecting on things on which would really be gonna be affected but on the time that if things turns out to be obvious and your partner would already be making out those kind of questions because of suspicions then how you would gonna handle it? There would really be times or moments that you would really be gonna fucked up yourself hard. People do believe that they could really be able to solve out the problem without telling and just simply quitting or stopping once they've seen such problems but on the time comes that it did happen then this is where you would really be realizing that it wasnt that easy to make out such act.

This isnt really just that limited on gambling but also in other things as well on which we do really trying out to cover up our shit which we know that this is something that could really be resulting
into some potential trouble or simply the other one didnt really like nor let you to deal with it. It would really be just that depending on such situation yet
not all would really be that wise on making up such decisions on every condition.

[Shamm]

Sometimes we need to lie in order to to prevent such things happen and those lie called white lies. For example we need to hide our from our family members so we won't let them know that we are in involve in gambling so we make some lies  I orde to prevent our secret safe. But in reality I don't think that lies is the answer of our problems cause I think that telling the truth is the best thing to do in order to preserve the trust that built for several years. Cause when we lie on them and then they will surprisely know then the trust will broke.

Hi gamblers, greetings to everyone..
..........

Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.

Hi also....  

I lied because I wanted to gamble safely. Where I live, gambling is considered a negative activity, and so are some members of my family. And to maintain harmony in the family, I try to cover up these activities by not gambling when I'm at home. And who knows what will happen next, if my gambling activities are discovered by them, because after all the lies will definitely be discovered too. just like a carcass, because no matter how clever we are at hiding it, in the end the smell will still be smelled. This is all just a matter of time, and hopefully when they find out that I am a gambler, this will not affect harmony in the family, but before that happens, in the next few days I will try to be brave and honest with what I am doing. That seems better than them finding out about the gambling activities I do from other people.

Well there is nothing a desperate gambler cannot do and this particular lies told by gamblers is common and that's I tend to be skeptical about some stories my friends which I know are gambler tell me. This thing is very common and its not only gamblers that do it, lies are told all the time just to cover up things we don't want people to know.

In some cases lying seems to be the best option but I can attest that it is the worst. One might just tell lies to cover up an ugly event but the question we should ask ourselves is what will be the reaction of the person who later discovered that you were not telling the truth. Your wife might be scrolling your phone and discover from your browsing history that you were gambling at the time she asked the question. This can lead to mistrust which could affect relationships negatively. I know it is fearful and very difficult but we should learn to always tell the truth no matter what the reaction from our partner will be.

I have not told any gambling related lies to my partner but I have tried to cover up my losses to avoid arguments and quarrels. There was a time when I had some losses that were above my gambling budget and I had to hide it from my partner and avoid her questions regarding how I used my monthly allocation. Fortunately, I was able to recover the losses before she became more inquisitive.

I'm a straightforward person and prefer to be honest about my beliefs; if you're asking my opinion, you'd be expecting my actual view, not a lie that won't hurt your feelings. However, some subjects are a little controversial, such as gambling or cryptocurrency investments, where telling a few white lies is far easier and more convenient than explaining the whole situation, which is usually something that I prefer not doing.

Lying inside a relationship for petty stuff, such as your desire to gamble, is setting your relationship on the wrong foot, and even you see it as something negative because it's likely that you're addicted and have to hide, not only from your partner but from yourself as well.

That’s the big check, lying can’t stay longer or else that could break someone else trust and even if its your family, lying should not be your option because being honest and having a good communication with your partner, that is more healthy. Well, if its gambling we always make lies because of our personal reason and whenever you’re ready, better to confess your gambling activities especially if you think you are already falling into this trap.

And again, no one can control when someone has fallen into an addict.
If honest and open with gambling activities carried out to couples, there will still be those who care when gambling has exceeded reasonable limits.

After all, why lie and hide the activities carried out against people who really should know.

[topbitcoin]

For the first time I entered the world of gambling, I still played secretly and always tried to cover up my gambling activities, especially in front of my parents. Because at that time I had just graduated from school and didn't have a job or income at all, so some of my needs were still met by my parents. And if they find out that some of the money they gave was spent on gambling, then they will probably scold me, and it is possible that I will no longer be given pocket money. So I always try to cover these activities.

However, not at this time, because at this time I already have a job and income, no longer financially dependent on them. I dare to speak honestly about the gambling activities that I do. and they allowed it, with a note, that I could only gamble when my needs, savings and investments had been met. although it is quite difficult to do. However, rather than continuing to hide these activities, it's better for me to tell the truth because lying really makes me quite tired. It's better for me to be honest, because after all this is all for my own good.

I guess lying for the sake of gambling is not actually surprising. A lot of people create lies so they can sustain their urge in gambling, and even myself is not an exception. Well, that’s how when I was still starting with gambling and eventually get hooked to it that fast. To the point that I have to lie that all my funds are used up with those high priced bills when in reality I screwed them all to gambling.

However, I’ve learned my lesson now and that there’s no way that I would be lying again just to satisfy myself with  my gambling habits. I can gamble with my spare funds, but using all my hard-earned money for gambling, that won’t never happen again.

When players depend on other people or have to hand over accounts to other people, sometimes others do not like gambling because it is money that easily goes into the casino, because casinos are places where you can lose money very easily. and if the player is a person who does not control himself and lets himself be carried away by emotions, he can lose all the money, the player who is good has to control his emotions because if he runs out of money he has to go back to look for more. keep playing, and that is a bad sign, it goes straight to addiction, so in this type of things you have to be very intelligent, play very calmly and accept what is done in the casino, don't go crazy if you lose. money or seek revenge.

To be honest, I believe that we are able to control more than we're taking responsibility for. You can't directly control if you're becoming an addict, but it's practically impossible not to acknowledge that you have a gambling problem. Unfortunately, gambling is perceived as something negative, even when it's conducted with specific boundaries, which is probably one of the reasons some prefer to hide it. There's no excuse in hiding such things from your partner though, you're only hurting your relationship in the long-term.

Hahaha... I have a lot to reply to here.

First, about the guy who lied to the wife that being beside her is his best moment, I advise him to keep it that way. Women like you to make them feel the most important, it is better to keep it that way. All he can work on is to be a responsible gambler, a good husband and a father. If those are in place, the rest is a story.

As for your story, I must say I truly laughed here and it deserved my merit. Online course indeed! Regardless, it saved the day, kudos to you and your lie. Besides, in your case, since you are a better man now, you may still tell her the truth on a casual note. Though it's not compulsory, it's a choice, just for you guys to laugh over it.

About your friend, I hope he can change his ways, this is so irresponsible, he just has to turn a new leaf. Also, the wife is not fair by saying he should have been beaten by the robbers to believe. It is not all robbers who beat or harm you when you cooperate with them. She shouldn't have thought it that far but for the safety of the husband whether he is lying or not. This is unless the guy is just entirely irresponsible which could have been his usual way to make her think that way.

Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.

Never! I don't have any reason to do so. Since I am a responsible adult and do not collect or steal money from anyone to gamble, I can't just think it twice than to tell you I gamble or I am gambling as the case may be.

Hi gamblers, greetings to everyone..

So today, I was scrolling through my reddit feed, and I came across this post in the screenshot I share below..


After reading that post, I quickly remembered what I did some years back when I was still pretty much new to gambling and was kind of obsessed with it at that time, I remember it was on Sunday late morning after we came back from church, I darely needed to play some gambling game, but the children were running around the house making lots of noise, the little one will not stop climbing me, we've already had breakfast and my wife was busy watching a movie.
I left her and the children in the sitting room, took my phone and laptop and went into our third room reserved for visitors and locked myself in there, and started gambling, I was playing slot and casino games, and in between, I was also analyzing some upcoming sports matches to find suitable ones to place bet on.

More than 1 hour later, my wife came looking for me, and possibly was surprised i locked myself in the guest room, she inquired to know why, I told her I was studying some very important course online, and needed no disturbance at all, that was why I went to the guest room, she stood there, whether she believed or not, I do not know, I just know that she went her way after some seconds 😂😂.

So, when I came across that post on reddit, I couldn't help but laugh really hard, and also imagined how many of us gamblers out there are telling one lie or the other just to cover up our gambling habit..

I have a friend who lost a huge amount of money to gambling, and returning home that night, he lied to his wife that he was robbed, when the woman (being suspecious) asked why he was not beaten by the robbers, he got angry at her and almost beat her that night 🤣.

Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.

Yes, it happened to me that I lied to my friend about the bets I placed on eSports matches. I myself don’t know why I reduced the amount I bet on the match and lost. Although if I had told the truth, no one would have condemned me for this. I probably thought about my reputation and sometimes I felt ashamed to admit to losing money. It makes you look like you're a loser. I think it's better not to say anything than to lie. I mean the situation where you don't have to give an answer at all.
I also believe that an adult should not do things that would have to be hidden, be it from friends or from his wife or anyone else.

Been there done that, mate. I can say that it's okay not to say anything than to lie, since no one is asking about what you're doing then don't make a story about your whereabout, you should handle it on your own and it will gives us a peace of mind knowing that no one knows tha truth because you're not telling it to anyone rather than telling lies.
