Lies told to cover up gambling habit

[ethereumhunter]

I think that we as players, should not cover up with lies whether we play or not , I think that we should be what they call upfront, always say things , lies always come to light, at any moment, because it is something that does not make sense , in the end lies achieve disappointment, then whoever we want to hide something like that from , I do not Recommend it, I recommend being as Transparent as possible, also gambling is not a crime, it is not something that is Wrong , you just have to face things as they are, if we like playing in casinos, then they have to accept it as we are.

There are people who thinks bad if they know the person is a gambler. It's because they know its negative effect once a gambler became out of control. However, it's a different thing if we're pertaining to our loved ones. We should be honest on what's going on with our life. If possible, don't keep your gambling activity a secret because it can only cause a misunderstanding (if you're a disciplined gambler) that might lead to a serious problem. It's normal to tell lies sometimes but don't make it a habit.

We can't imagine what will happen if people around us especially our couple know that we have a gambling habit. They will mad to us and maybe will asks us to quit gambling forever with many ways and will make sure that we really quit gambling. There may be a fight between us and them because they will insist to say that gambling can gives bad to us so that's why they will make sure us quit gambling immediately.

We will realizes that one lie will be covers with other lies and if we don't want to lie for more, we must cut that circle by telling the truth to people around us. We can commit that we have gambling habit and we needs them to help us to stop our gambling habit. If we can tell the truth and what happen to us, they will wants to help us until we can stops our gambling habit.

Unfortunately, a gambler with a problematic addiction has to lie a lot. I heard this in many interviews with such gamblers years ago, and I still hear it. It feels like lying is an integral part of a real gambling addiction.
And the trouble is that even if such a gambler wants to change everything and return to his former honest life, it will be very difficult for him to do so.
After all, trust is difficult to restore, because his environment will always question his words.

You are right, that many lies have been covered up when they dialogue with relatives and friends, they seem to hide the truth of all his words, but it's a shame that they will never want to help him again when they find out he has been addicted to gambling to the detriment of himself, so don't lie to him. If anyone experiences a loss from gambling, however, it's a good idea to keep quiet if you don't want everyone to know about the loss.

I think that there is not a single gambler who would tell his relatives about his loss. Only if he did not want to quit the casino at that moment. But if the gambler plans to continue playing, he will remain silent, and this will be the beginning of his path of lies and omissions. And the greater the debts, the worse the gambler's mood will be. But at the same time, his relatives will not understand why he is so angry. And at that moment, a complete misunderstanding will begin.

[TheGreatPython]

Lying is not good but sometimes letting others know the truth will be even worse. Some people say that we should tell the truth to our wife or family about our gambling but they are not in our situation, they don't know what we will face.

I think there is nothing serious about trying to hide our gambling from our loved ones as long as we are not addicted to gambling and causing trouble for our family.
In addition, everyone will have a certain level of privacy, and some personal space, and sometimes there are habits of ours that many people do not like, so there is no reason for us to let them know to avoid causing trouble for both parties.

I can't help but agree with you on this point. One person cannot know what the other person might have to go through if they do a certain thing. Every person will give you suggestions based on their understanding and mindset and not based on your thoughts and situations, this is why they say that we should listen to everyone, but we should do what we think is right because only we know what the situation can be and only we know doing what can be better at a certain time or situation.

I would never ask a friend to help me handle a situation with my wife because what's the point? She's my wife, and it's me knows her very well, so another person who is an outsider cannot help me in such situations, especially if it's about hiding something or telling her things that make her happy even if they aren't truth all the time.

That was a funny lie that the guy from the example in OP has said. It doesn't matter if it's the best day of the day or whenever he tells his wife that going to bed with her was the best. I don't think that he has to tell a lie or go to the bathroom and play all day blackjack, slots or any game that he prefers. As long as his wife is aware that he's a gambler, I think that everything is fine and that's what he needs to say on her because if he don't tell her that he's been gambling all of this time, it might ruin their relationship.

Maybe for her this is not too serious as long as they use their gambling within reasonable limits, indeed if a husband asks his wife's permission to gamble, usually the wife does not allow it because the wife thinks gambling is an act of wasting money, maybe this is why husbands lie if they want to gamble, but still this cannot be tolerated and lying will become a habit if it is done continuously when urgent. Talk to your wife nicely when she is in a good mood that you want to gamble with a small amount of money when you have free time (not every day) and promise not to get addicted, I think the wife will allow you to continue gambling.

The situation is different from that guy, he's hiding his gambling activity from his wife and that's why there's something off with their relationship. And that's why a quarrel might happen if the wife sees his husband do some gambling unexpectedly. Anyway, that's their relationship to be fixed when lies are being told, it's really gonna make the significant other have their own doubts.

Basically in any case, lies will always be something that can reduce the level of trust, and in a household relationship it can be said that trust is one of the keys to a more harmonious relationship, especially if something you hide is an activity that as a whole or in general has a bad stigma in the eyes of society.

Although I understand that gambling responsibly may keep you safe and avoid various bad possibilities such as those experienced by addicted gamblers, it does not mean that it will completely make you not lose at all, in the sense that there will always be some money lost, meaning on the other hand there is an element that in the end or over time your wife will find out about something you are hiding because gambling involves money and in a household relationship finances are usually one and transparent, meaning your wife will definitely know that there is some money lost consistently, and this is where suspicion and arguments will begin.

Therefore, I think there is nothing wrong with being honest from the start, because even if for example now you succeed in hiding everything from your wife, it does not mean that your wife will not know forever, remember that you live under one roof.

Once you do get caught then there's no way on making it back once that trust will really shattered or be broken specially into your wife or husband.This is why it would really be better that you should really be that making yourself being mindful about those probabilities and this is why its not recommended that you would really be hiding up something from them as much as possible.
How i do wish up on a peaceful life with having no worries about particular things. If you do find yourself that being interested in gambling or betting then tell your wife about on what you are doing.
As long you do make yourself that being responsible on the way you do spend up money or finances with betting then it wont really be that issue but if you are showing up some signs that
you are doing something shit then it would be normal that they would really be making up those words which would really be against on what you are really that doing.

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.

I think this sort of lie is what you might consider a white lie, like when your wife asks you if her outfit looks nice and you might not quite agree but you know she loves it. The sort of lie in your screenshot doesn't really harm anyone and makes another person feel treasured. It's only when you start putting a gambling habit before someone else that you start to have a problem. If you started to lie in order to spend time gambling, rather than meeting up with other people or even worse - letting them down when you have prior arrangements, that verges into nasty behavior. Your example heads towards the nastier side as well, because it was to cover your own ass instead of making someone else feel better.

And that's why a quarrel might happen if the wife sees his husband do some gambling unexpectedly. Anyway, that's their relationship to be fixed when lies are being told, it's really gonna make the significant other have their own doubts.

The husband is smart for hiding gambling activities from the wife, some women are quick to reactions and that was exactly what he was afraid but that's what later happened anyways. Some women detest men that gamble and can even leave or abandoned their relationship when a man gambles without checking if their partner is an average gambler or an addicted gambler, there is nothing harm in gambling if done moderately.

However, you can't blame some women has seen how men behaves from the adverse effects of gambling and they probably don't want to go through that route of dealing with a partner that loves gambling. Some people think it's really a big task for them to deal with an addicted gambler than for them to deal with a cheating partner, so many relationships didn't end well because of addicted gambling.

But if the gambler plans to continue playing, he will remain silent, and this will be the beginning of his path of lies and omissions. And the greater the debts, the worse the gambler's mood will be. But at the same time, his relatives will not understand why he is so angry. And at that moment, a complete misunderstanding will begin.

Because it is related to self-esteem and will never talk about defeat, but instead he will only tell about the victory that has happened and it is very proud,
even though his defeat is greater than the victory obtained.

This kind of dishonesty will only attract others to a dangerous circle of fire that they don't know about yet.
I will not believe in the words of others or the victories that influencers get, I will only do it myself with the little money I have so that I know how the wins and losses happen.

It is the pride or ego why a gambler won't disclose his losses. But I guess, he would say it to the person if he badly needs money and promise something to his potential lender. Most gamblers won't tell about the losses, but it changes when they have good winnings, as they will boast his to his friends about the luck he got.

True. When a man wins, everybody should know it, but when a man loses, nobody would be that interested, as it's natural for us to desire good results rather than the bad ones. In any case, a person shouldn't badly need the money to gamble as it should be (in a perfect scenario) a hobby to have a great time. When a man starts to take action without discipline intact or because of the emotions (especially the bad ones), you know that it shouldn't be that way.

True, it can be said that trust is something that can be the key to a harmonious relationship as I said, and maybe you have often heard that honesty is more expensive than anything, because when someone no longer trusts you then they will lose interest in dealing with you, and of course that makes it quite difficult for you when you want to ask for help from that person because there will be a lot of doubts that grow in that person's mindset towards you.

On the other hand, as you said, it is very important to be aware of the possibilities that could happen someday due to the actions you take now, especially if you lie to the people closest to you where as I said before that you live under the same roof with them which in the end the act of hiding will be in vain. And when the story is different in the sense that if from the start you had told your wife about you being involved in gambling then surely your wife would at least help you to overcome everything especially when it turns out that you start to fall into an impulsive approach to gambling.

Those women just knows what gambling addiction could lead their husbands to be. And that's why as soon as they have started to know that they're into gambling, they want to stop that before it become bigger. It's understandable as these wives just want all the best for their husbands. But how can they do that if their husbands are trying to hide their gambling activity to them. They might even think that they're cheating because they're hiding it to them as they don't want to let them know that they've been spending much on their bets.

The husband have control of everything because is only what he let the wife know that they be aware of and the fact that being a responsible gambler is the number one criteria to privacy in gambling and cryptocurrency online gambling is the sure plug to stay private in gambling, so the wife can only be worried of the gambling habits is beginning to effect the overall welfare of the family and at that point they call they spouse to other, women don't just hate gambling but love whatever brings in money and hate whatever make they husband broke, so it is the State of the husband both the financial and mental State of the husband that matters to the wife and not gambling itself.

[terrific]

I guess the most common lie that everyone told is about, "this is my last bet". Yeah, last bet in our faces but then we keep on going because it's either we're winning and that can't be helped to stop because luck is with us. Or, we are continuing because we have to recover a bit of from our losses. That's the biggest lie that everyone has told to themselves or with reasoning to their wives and husbands. I am sure that all of the gamblers here are guilty of that and that's why there are moments that we also do the yolo bet that's also very popular about the lie of "what if that last bet comes with a win". 

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's normal to tell lies sometimes but don't make it a habit.

In this you are right, for example, to Avoid a bad time for an older Adult , someone who does not like the casino activity, well yes, in that you are right, but it is for those special ases , because people who are older need to have a lot of consideration and Respect , in the case that the family is very strict, for example one's mother, well one tries not to make her go through hard times , get angry or something like that, just out of respect , in those cases I think that in my case it would be the only way I Would do it.

Well, most men would do this. Tell only their victories and not their defeats. Why? Defeats are shameful, that is why. I don't think any men like to shame themselves because we have our pride and ego.
When it comes to using the losses though as a way to borrow money from a friend or relative, I usually don't believe this kind of reasoning but when I became a gambler, I know now that can be true.  A person/gambler who badly needs money will be truly honest with their losses just to get the sympathy of other people especially when in the face of his lender.
Right now, I believe more stories of losses than it is with winnings because some of them can just be made up to avoid embarrassment.

Wanting to brag and attract others to dangerous zones that they don't yet know.
It's really rude to make friends like that, and they also don't disclose what the risks are and their invitations are also because the affiliate program will automatically give them benefits when more people join.

Now it just takes a fairly critical and realistic mind, don't believe other people's nonsense about big profits.
In fact, not only in gambling, in almost all businesses there will be practices like this that make sweet promises that will only end up being harmful.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Women are territorial to some extent as they'll always wanna look out for where you're at, what you're doing and why you're away for too long...
I believe his wife asked him what the most memorable moments of his life was,... He dared not to spill the bean, otherwise he's sleeping in the couch for the night  ^{[light fades: no kisses, no touches} In actual sense, some of those questions ain't necessary atimes...

Personally, this is how I see it; if you don't wanna fall too loosely for the game, to an extent that you can't cater for the needs of your family, why not open up?. addiction is detrimental and nobody has ever had a better experience with it.

I agree! You should always believe only those who are close friends to you or your family, otherwise, there is no point in going towards anybody who says that he makes huge banks every day and every night. It's all golden and shiny, but as the reality comes afterward it happens to be just a harsh reality.
