Have you ever lied to cover a gambling loss?

[Nwada001]

Most of the gamblers, lied to the loved ones, who will accept the loss..! any how we should aware of the platforms and play responsibly.

Why lie to anyone when you can just decide not to talk about it at all in the first place? If you make your money responsibly and spend it responsibly, what's the point of ever lying to anyone about how you spend the money unless there is something the gambler is afraid of, either because they are not paying bills at home or they are still getting some tips from their loved ones, which they are afraid of losing if they talk about their gambling to loved ones.

There are circumstance that you need to lie, I get it. However, there are situations that your partner knows that you gamble. So it's inevitable that he or she will have to ask you what happen to your gambling activity.

Not necessary to make an issue out of it, just questioning you point blank. Now, you can tell up front that you have lost, man up, simply as that. But there are gamblers that really wanted to cover their losses, even if their other half knows that they are into gambling.

Maybe it's part of human nature that we don't want to tell anyone even our spouses that we experience not winning.

This is the worst thing ever and it denotes something equally bad, when you start lying to cover expenses it means that you are in the addiction phase
An alarm should go off in your head and you should understand that maybe it's better to ask for help and stop while it's possible and there's little harm done.

People lie because they dont know what will be the reaction on truth. They are afraid to make their reputation worse or spoil relationship with other person. Being an adult, for me its look silly to be scared to tell truth, because as we are adults, we can always give explanation why we have done something, present facts and logical explanation. I havent seen long time ago when adult has lied to another adult, because he was afraid of something. I have seen such examples only in far youth.

I agree, instead of confessing your mistake and being a man to tell the truth there are gamblers who choose to lie and cover their loses, thinking that they can make an alibi and can passed the issue and things will just let go by their partners, different people have their different opinon and position in terms of creating lies to cover up thier loses, sad thing that maybe the after effect of this kind of attitude, the possibility that they may fall into addiction may take place after.

[Versatile_choice]

Honestly I do, but after that I didn't have clear conscience I tried so hard to cover up but I couldn't. And that is because I don't tell lies so why doing it now, and even  if I voice it out no one is going to shout at me or do anything stupid the only thing they could do is to advice me to stop or limit From gambling,so after considering all of that so I had to say the truth. first they felt bad and got mad at me for doing that but at some point they dropped everything and start making the advice then I just realized my mistake and then I stopped staking with high amount. And I can say that thier advice really helped me Alot because if not for the advice they gave to me earlier I would have been attempting to stake high the following day just to see if i can recover from the previous loss.

Where you're the one fending for yourself and covering your bills in your responsibility as it should be then there's no reason to lie, especially to a partner that is already aware of your gambling habit and is fine with it. The partner should know that you either make a loss or profit. But as men, there are circumstance we sometimes don't fell like talking about it, and I think when it's at that point the other person should gladly understand.

This is true, one doesn't have to lie or hide anything when they are the ones providing for themselves and earning the money they spend on gambling and the last statement you made also tells why one can not decide to lie at times, because the situation could be something that you don't want share with anyone but because of how persistent your friend or partner can be in wanting to know what the situation is, you will just want to lie or say something different to divert their attention.

This is exactly the reason why I don't lie with my loss, sometimes I will be tempted to lie after losing but when I think about this thing you just Said here then I will just plainly say the truth. after all they're not the one providing the Money for me, had it mean they're the one making the findings then that would have been a different case but in this case you're the one taking care of your responsibilities by yourself without seeking for anyone's help, so what's the point of telling lies. I don't care what they say about me outside there, if that's the case because I know that majority of this gamblers that like hiding loses is due to this reason for me after telling them they can do whatever they wish to do with it for all I care.

Lying about gambling usually shows that there is something deeper going on either the gambler is losing more than they want to admit or they feel ashamed of how often they are playing but at the end of the day if you are the one earning your money and covering your bills then there should not be any reason to make up stories about it your partner or friends will know losses happen wins happen and that is just part of gambling so trying to hide every small detail only makes things worse. The problem is sometimes people just dont want to deal with the extra talk or the judgment so they feel like lying is the easy way out but in reality it just builds more pressure over time and eventually the truth comes out anyway even if your partner already knows you gamble there will be days where you dont feel like explaining yourself and that is normal but it’s better to say i dont want to talk about it now than to lie and make up some story that might not hold later.

Lying usually comes when gamblers are not managing their gambling responsibly when bills are being ignored or when money from other sources like tips or family support is being used for gambling without them knowing that is when fear kicks in and that is when lies come naturally to cover the tracks but if you are transparent and you only gamble with what you can afford then even if you dont share every detail you still dont need to lie because there is nothing big to hide. In relationships honesty is still the best way even if it is just saying i lost today i dont feel like talking about it or i need a break from the questions that already keeps the trust alive and stops the small lies from turning into bigger problems the truth is gambling is a personal choice and as long as it doesn’t spill over into neglecting responsibilities there should be no shame in admitting the ups and downs.

Snip.

It's an experience I have being into and I never felt like talking about and on the other hand I felt that people around me should just understand that I wasn't ready to share it, perhaps after that moment I could be spurred to freely talk about it without having to lie, or acting numb. It's said there's a time for everything and when people don't want to talk about an issue when asked I think we should understand and let them be than force them to talk otherwise.

An alarm should go off in your head and you should understand that maybe it's better to ask for help and stop while it's possible and there's little harm done.

And, you are not going to stop lying at every mistake you will make. That's how addictive lying could be, worse than a gambling addict.

I don't do this because I don't want the trust of the people near me. I tell them everything, especially my wife. I have won many times, and I spent it all for her and our kids. Then, there's always the losing side, which, although it is a sad story, is when both of you will be tested.
I am just glad that I am supported with the mistakes I have made, but I think it's also because I have won a good amount that I spent a lot of the winning money on most of the things in our house.

[Jody.Drummer]

I once lied to a friend of mine who also enjoyed gambling, where I suffered significant losses and spent most of my salary. I worked at the same place as my friend, and when I ran out of money, my mother borrowed from my friend. She asked where all my previous earnings went. I told her I'd used it to pay all my bills and family debts.
This actually taught me a lesson about not gambling excessively beyond my means, but the pull of gambling is so strong, that sometimes I still gamble recklessly.

If this experience helped prevent a repeat of this mistake, it's a small price to pay. I believe hiding things from loved ones is a bad decision, but it's even better to avoid having to hide anything from them, and that doesn't require gambling with money we can't afford to lose. Gambling with just a small portion of your salary is safe. In all my years of gambling, my experience tells me that there's no bet that's guaranteed to bring you a profit; even if you're very confident in it, it could still end in a loss.

It's true that some people think that in the end, everyone should be open to understanding each other, but not everyone can do it even though they are basically able to do it, and I think there are reasons for that. And what you said is true, gambling with a small portion of our salary is a safe way, because this should not be done excessively, such as betting with an amount we cannot afford. Besides, we must be able to understand that gambling is likely only to make us experience losses, and from here we must realize that doing it excessively will not increase the chances of winning.

Lying is the second name to all gamblers especially when losing in gambling, although it could be done for so many reason best known to them all I know is they do it for protection includine. Imagine losing once valuable asset while gambling how will you say such to your friend knowing fully well they will call you all kinds of name.
Not that am of the opinion that lying is a good gambling practice but its done at time to cover shame and also gives room for correction

Almost all gamblers are lying to people when they are losing money because they will never want to let everyone know their rate of losing bets so as not to discourage others from betting because you never know who will benefit from betting. And some people are also lying with that they are wining money just to encourage others to join them in gambling which is very wrong in my opinion.

A gambler should even keep his success or the other side to themselves, the general public doesn’t need to know about your gambling experience or success, it should be within your personal interests for security reason because people can hunt you down if they noticed you are doing well.

[GigaBit]

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?

No one is interested in sharing their losses in gambling. So a gambler will definitely try to hide his gambling. Especially if it is a story of losing, they want to hide it even more so that others do not ignore him. There are many who can easily talk about winning but do not want to talk about losing. They can definitely use some lies when they lose. Many gamblers resort to such lies to avoid being ridiculed by others. I think this is a normal behavior for gamblers. I didn't need to tell anyone about my gambling because it was completely confidential.

[Agbe]

There is no need of you to be lieing because of gambling if you have lost there is no reason to be lieing so if I lost and someone ask me I will tell the person the truth. I think that it's even a childish idea for anyone to lie about what he has lost or even gained from gambling because we are adults so should not be afraid to speak about our gambling activities.

Lol why would you say this ? Although I understand that it's your own personal view but I feel humans are prone to the act of lying more than you narrow it to be and this includes both the adult and even the younger generation.  There are some crazy actions that one would take in the course of gambling that he or she won't realize it till its too late and when asked he would conceal it just because of the stupid action he took.

Lying to cover up expenses Is messed up, it just shows that you know what you are doing is absolutely wrong. Some people go as far as taking money that doesn't belong to them, maybe it's from their work place or wherever then they try by all means to cover up that expenses. This has made people lose their jobs and a lot of other good things. If it's not stopped on time it can become a big problem

Is there any good reason for a gambler to keep covering gambling loses? This is not normal at all and can be as a result of addiction that could have prompted a gambler to continue holding under the shadow their gambling activities and lifestyle.

What I know is that if you don't make money as a gambler today and you continue with the mindset of improving, you can soon become a profitable gambler over a period of your gambling improvements. Every gambler should be ready to take responsibility for their gambling lifestyle and not blame anyone for their own mistakes or loses as a result of gambling too much.
