Have you ever lied to cover a gambling loss?

[leonair]

I don't see a reason to why we should lie in gambling, because over time now, i observe on the way some have been disguising with the way they gamble all in the name of not being recognized a failure in playing bets, some will even go to a certain extent to cook out some lies in other to impress others, which is not what we should allow to continue as we are gambling, because everything at the long run will turn a disappointment and we are going to be double times shamed after being discovered we are lying

It is always better to keep the matter of gambling a secret. Because when someone sees or knows that you gamble and you are very weak towards gambling, no one will agree to do any kind of financial thing for you. Because everyone knows that those who are addicted to gambling use a lot of money to gamble and lose it, so if you lend money to them, the chances of getting that money back easily are very low. So I try to hide the matter of gambling as much as I can. So in this case, I share something with someone about my gambling, so I don't need to lie to anyone about the matter that the op said. But when the amount of loss is a little high, very quickly, I think false thoughts to comfort myself. This is only to give myself false comfort.

I have always gambled with my own funds, and hence there is no reason to tell anybody whether I win or lose. If I were to tell somebody anyhow, I wouldn't still lie, I would be straightforward about my loss — and frankly, no one gives a shit what you do with your own money.

That is the real truth about it because it is only when you gamble with someone's money that you would own and explanation to them, without that there is nothing consign anybody with the way I gamble. Of course telling someone lies is something that I would never think of, whether I win or not I normally said the truth, and even though it is only my wife that I would easily tell about it because I'm not owning anybody explanation.

People can lie and even make it obvious, all because they wanted to achieve their personal target and maybe to please others around them, that is why in some settings, you will discover the way we live our normal lives reflecting on how we are gambling, to the extent of some bringing the same lie into gambling, if you lose a bet, then tell other, who knows you may be encouraged to later discover the mistake made that caused for the loss, than pretending to be a winner when things are not actually going well and you lose, only for you to cover up.

[alastantiger]

Do you check conscious or unconsciously lied to someone or to your love ones to cover your gambling loses? And what kind of lying did you do? Did you tell that you just lost like $50 but in reality it's $500.00? Or that you lend some money to your friend, but then you go and play on casinos? Or you tell that your paycheck is short and there is something wrong with it and so you will have to ask your company's HR about it?

How about other lies that you uses because you can't admit to yourself that you've actually lost because it's a sign of weakness?

I can't remember how many lie that I have said because I have lied countless amount of time. Few days ago I lied after I exhausted the money I had on me and needed some favour from my girlfriend. She knows I had some money on me but she didn't know I have used it to gamble and have lost it. Some times I win while other times, it isn't easy because I lose almost all the capital that I brought out to gamble for the day. Presently that we don't have active league games ongoing, it's more difficult for me to get correct prediction because I don't like gambling when it isn't a sport that I can do my research on to know which club to support and this is about football. When I gamble on other types of games, I end up losing most times and that's what I'm experiencing now

I think it is better because when people even know that you gamble, they will think that you are not responsible, and the only thing I know some gamblers are reckless about gambling, and this is why people need to be serious when it comes to gambling, because if it is not control a lot of people are addicted and when you are gambling it is better to keep it a secret to avoid getting judge. And when you gamble with a specific amount of money, so that when you lose money, it will not hurt you.

Gambling is complicated, and gambling is even very easy now because there is a phone, so there is no need for people to know that you are gambling because when they know they will use it against you because people are always quick to judge so a secrete is better.

I understand that we all have difference preference when it comes tog ambling, some can always keep it a secret while some may not at all, because they don't want to be idle about the way they fare in gambling, so they like being with others and sharing their ideas together, even if all they share also are lies, they don't mind, or if what they share together from their friends are bunch of lies, they still not care, because the fun in it is more enough for them, in which some don't even mind about what others say being truth or not.

[Jaycoinz]

Rule number one, never gamble with any funds that does not belong to you. An addicted gambler only thinks of lying after losing an amount of money when it's not theirs. This takes me back to someone that gambled with someone's money that was meant for something important, he hoped to double and replace but when he lost the entire money he had to lie that his bank account got hacked by fraudsters

[r_victory]

I've never needed anyone's money to cover my gambling losses. Except for one typo I made that cost me a considerable amount, I've never lost an amount I couldn't afford; I always bet within my limits. If you're gambling and losing money to the point where you need to hide it, I think it's best to review and control your gambling spending. Usually, people who lie about it are already addicted and don't want to admit it.

I never lie to myself though in some extremely tough conditions I was forced to lie to my family to cover such expenses. These have been extremely few times when I really have gone to far and lost a really big amount of money. I never go to far from quite some time now and I am happy that have achieved great self control though the times I have been forced to lie I have felt like a piece of sh*t internally and never suggest to anyone to do it. I have never lied to myself as that does not make sense at all because you really cannot lie "you" in the end. Gambling can bring a lot of bad habits if not kept  under control so that should be the primary concern.

This happens when I fall head over hills of a particular game and am carried away with the game, I lost control of myself and spend above what I am suppose to spend, and I can't tell anyone that I spent it on gambling,all I have to do is to cover-up but not always only in one or  two occasions and after that time, I have to learn how to control myself when it comes to gambling out of budget

[aioc]

I used to be good at lying just to cover my losses. When you lose in gambling, you just don’t want to talk about it, especially to people who might interpret you as a sore loser or an irresponsible gambler. If caught lying, you hide the real amount because you don’t want to be blamed for losing a significant amount, especially if it’s your wife asking.
So yeah, lying is part of it, and you have to be good at doing this; it’s hard to hide when it’s all about losing money.

Of what use is it to lie to someone when you don't owe them your life? When we gamble it's usually advised to gamble only with money that we can afford to loss, so if thats true, then it literally might have nothing to do with our loved ones, except we were gambling with funds that were meant for something very important and lost it. About the part of lieing to your self, I think we do that a lot when we say that gambling is fun after losses. The truth is that you need to accept your losses honestly. There's no need to put such lies in front of your mind.

[Slow death]

Do you check conscious or unconsciously lied to someone or to your love ones to cover your gambling loses?

Fortunately, I don't need to lie to anyone about my losses because they are controlled losses, losses that don't affect my day-to-day life. If someone in the real world asks me if I play at a casino, I'll be honest and say I do. Also, if they ask me how much money I've lost, I'll also be honest and say how much.

I have no reason to hide it because I just play for fun. Most of the time, my bets are $1. In a week, I bet on a maximum of 3 games. This means that if I lose all 3 games, I'll only have lost $3. This is rare because, of the 3 games, I've been winning at least 1. My bankroll doesn't exceed $10 per week. I rarely lose my entire bankroll in a week.

If a person reaches this level of lying, then they may have a gambling problem.

I don't think there's any point in lying to them if the money you've lost isn't from them.
I won't tell anyone if I lose a big amount, but that's unlikely to happen because I only gamble with what I can afford to lose.  
However, I don't usually tell anyone that I'm losing in gambling, but if I win, I even post it on my social media.

This is not a good practice, lending money for your gambling habit is not always a good decision.
This can ruin your life if you get into debt and can't pay it back anymore.

[Distinctin]

If you’re actually gambling with your funds that are intended to pay the monthly bills, you will certainly come to a point to lie to your partner just to avoid getting her angry. But if you’re only spending your spare money, then there’s no reason to lie, after all you only lose what you are comfortable of losing.

Honestly, I’ve come to lie also in my first days of gambling, especially that I’m gambling despite of my tight budget. But years after, I’m good enough to manage my finances and just gamble whenever there’s extra money. And if there’s none, I wouldn’t force myself to into gambling.

It was just only one time I was feeling down because of the results I got from a gambling session in which I ended up losing money I was not expecting to lose to begin with, it was a newbie mistake on casino games.
My family back then did not know anything about Crypto casinos or crypto currency in general, so they asked what was wrong with me, and I of course lied to hide the truth from them and I did not mention anything about money or gambling.
Since then, I have tried not to lie and disclosed to them I was partaking on occasional gambling and let them know I would like them to serve a as way to keep me away from addiction, in the case they ever noticed something or I was acting off.

It is very difficult not to lie, because losing money to our bad luck feels like a shame, something which is supposed to remain hidden and away from those who may judge us.

[Roseline492]

If someone is gambling with the money they own I don't think there should be a must that you tell your friends or relative how much you lost on the bet, gambling is not something someone will be voicing out every single lost they have encounter. Although is true that people lie consciously to be looked relying on while some might only lie unintentionally because of the circumstances that could affect them if being polite or sincere but for those who do it all the time without any reason does it really worth it?, actually is better not open up than lying.

I never lied to anyone, specifically for gambling matter. If I lose $500 I will say I have lost $500.  

By the way, lying about the amount of our losses, it means we never admit it. Admitting the losses is needed, because it is the way that we give a lesson to other people about the possible losses. And it reminds us to gamble in a proper way to avoid another big losses. However, it is lucky that I never experienced huge losses because I keep gambling with small amount of money and I never try breaks my limits. Once I spend my gambling funds allocated at that day, I will immediately stop it. Actually, it is not so difficult to avoid severe losses if we keep gambling properly.

[maydna]

No, I have not lied to someone or family to cover my gambling losses. That is the money that I can afford to lose. They don't ask me where the money is because they know I can use that money for many things I want.

I give my paycheck to my wife then I know how much money I have for other things. So I don't lie to them because I give the portion to my wife for my daily needs.

If you lie to them, you will be covered other lies and that will not stop. One lie will lead to other lies so you don't have to lie.

[freedomgo]

That’s why gambling online feels safer sometimes, no one really knows, not even your wife, as long as you don’t declare everything you earn and you still provide your share as the head of the family. The problem only comes when you gamble more than you can afford to lose, because then you’re forced to come up with believable excuses. If not, things can get messy and even destroy relationships. Honestly, I’ve lied about my losses many times too.

[yhiaali3]

I don't have to lie to anyone because I'm independent in my work and I don't tell my wife every detail of my work. This is great because I don't have to lie to her. There are some chatterboxes who tell their wives every detail of their lives, and these are often the ones who lie to cover up their failures and losses.

I don't borrow money, nor do I use my own money for family expenses. I also don't take risks I can't afford to lose. So, even if I lose, I don't have to lie to cover up the money I've lost, since this money is primarily outside my own expenses or family needs.
