Do you ever gamble with your spouse on a cruise?

[Joy- maker]

I recently gambled with my spouse for the very first time. It was a fun and exciting experience for both of us. We were celebrating our anniversary on a cruise ship and I talked her into gambling a little bit on some slot machines and roulette. She was my good luck charm on the slot machine I was losing up until I tagged her in (early before I lose it all lmao) good thing too because she came back and doubled the money we put into the slot machine. Then we kept going and lost it all 😂 but that was after we went to the roulette table and got some numbers in and broke even there, at one point we were going to bet like 60 on 25 red and it hit but i was too hesitant and missed what would have been the absolutebanger win and make it so much more memorable oooooff SHH lmao. It was fun though! We spend 1.5 hours and at the end of the day we lost 25 but it was worth it.

I have actually gamble with my ex-girlfriend and it was fun and entertaining that day. However, if i am to try it with my future wife slot games will be better not sport games, but i doubt if she would like to do that with me because to her that is not fun, because of how she is committed to Christianity. Although i am Christian too but i don't see gambling as a sin, i see it as a game for fun and entertainment nothing more. perhaps i should ask her indirect if she will gamble with me when we go out to have fun one of the days.

First of all, wish you a happy belated anniversary, it's great that you guys enjoyed and had a great time together which is the main thing.

Now, about gambling with your spouse or partner, I would say not every person is lucky enough to have a partner or a spouse who would be cool with them gambling because most of them think that it's just a waste of time and they don't see the fun side of it. Even if you gamble responsibly and mostly do it for fun, a partner who doesn't have the same mindset or same thought process as you would still think that you shouldn't do it.

Another reason why so many partners wouldn't approve of this might be because they believe you should be spending the time with them instead of spending it on gambling, and I know that people would say that the times should be separate, but believe me, it doesn't work that way with every spouse, especially if we are talking about wives here, because so many of them wouldn't like it if you are to spend time on something that you like because they would say that if you have free time, spend it with them.

I’ve never done this before, and even though I like to gamble, I’ve never thought of asking my partner to gamble with me. But if I found out that my partner also likes to gamble, I might be surprised because I’ve never brought up the topic of gambling with him I keep my gambling activities private from my family and my partner.
But it might be a different story if he were the one to bring up the topic of gambling, especially if he admitted that he likes to gamble himself.

A lot of gamblers that I know always keep their gambling habits secret, so it’s actually shocking to find a partner who actually shares the same interest in gambling. In my own opinion, when a partner enjoys gambling and are open to each other about it, then gambling automatically becomes a decision that the both parties need to unanimously take or an activity that they enjoy together, just like going to see a movie together, as long as the transparency and honesty is there, they can make sure that gambling doesn’t go beyond just a fun activity.

You make your anniversary more memorable by playing with your wife, and you only lost 25 for 1.5 hours of entertainment. I would say that for such a small amount, you created a great memory and enjoyed yourself fully. However, I think it would be even more fun and memorable if you stayed in the slots, got the profits, and enjoyed that kind of victory. This kind of fun will last for the rest of your life. In the end, I can't feel your happiness as I am not married, but I can relate to it through my best friend and hope to experience that fun too.

[EluguHcman]

That is a very interesting experience and I think this is the best suitable manner of gambling with your partner.
Unlike those who causally just drags their spouse in to online gambling and later on the urge grows high on her to the extent she demands to create account of her own so that she can always play at her free times which later on turns into addiction when emotions becomes uncontrollably.

This one experience on the cruise has a different entertaining feeling with the safe gambling that you did not exceed beyond your affordability which to some others turns into regrets.

[libert19]

Nope, I am single, and never been to cruise either. But if I were to have a partner, we wouldn't be going for gambling experience, as I myself don't hold gambling in high regards in first place, and there are better things to do.

...Then we kept going and lost it all 😂

Sounds familiar.

Even though I don't dare gamble at home in front of my spouse, the thought of taking him on a cruise and gambling there is a luxury. Actually she was not that kind of gambling friendly she is one kind of anti-gambling as well also the region where I live in that actually not the gambling friendly. The culture here actually doesn't look favorably on gambling. And because of this culture, even if I go gambling with my spouse, I will feel uneasy. So I think it's better to keep my gambling private. Lol.

The most important part is that the fun at which you aimed was achieved, you got all the fun you wanted to get with your spouse on your special day while on the cruise, so it will be for the memory and not to make money from it. Staking an amount you were able to loose conveniently was another part of it that will reduce your concerns on what you lost gambling.

This is why it is always good  to as much as possible try to differentiate between when you are gambling for fun amd when you are gambling to make money, so that you don't ruin fun moments with hour expectations on that which you were gambling.

Gambling doesn't always have to be for making money, sometimes it could come as an extra for the moment to add up to the fun you were having at the time.

It's quite of experience when couples do that. I guess whatever is the outcome for as long as you're together in that vacation and did some things you like to do with her, you're already a winner.

You're going to talk about it when you've got me-time together. And maybe the next one that you'll get onto a cruise, she's the one to ask you to hurry and go to the casino and do the old times.

Of course, this sounds great and intriguing, because it could create wonderful memories, but the main thing is that we don't lose too much and keep our tempers under control, which can happen. I'd say it's better to relax wisely and not just mash the button nonstop to see the results. I'd still prefer to play in measured doses, to get the excitement I need and not overdo it with the time spent playing. But for now, I'm just dreaming about it, because I've never been on a cruise with a girlfriend in my life, but maybe next year I'll be able to change that.

I guess that they know their limits and they are there to just have fun. A gambler will always be a gambler but in front of their wives, they're not going to fool around.

They know the possible worse scenario that can happen that might destroy that vacation.

So, it's only about relaxation, enjoying, entertainment and pure creation of memories while they gamble for some spare.

Personally I think that it is disrespectful to gamble when you are with your spouse especially when they don't really like gambling. Privacy is key when it come to Gambling and it's keep you in your lane so you don't end up getting disrespected by others because whether we like it or not not everyone likes to gamble or even the idea of it alone offends them, it is about studying your partner.

It is not everything we have to see as cruise. I don't see a good reason why gambling with your spouse when we know that most women are very emotional and winning them in a bet can become a mistake even if money is not involved.
It is better to take your spouse to their place she must have been requesting to go and have fun time than going to gamble with her.

[Sonia_123]

This shows how supportive your spouse could be and also make the cruise more meaningful, since your spouse is understanding and lucky enough to win even if lost at the end of the day, gives you a better chances and comfort of making more wins later in the day, but should be done in moderation to avoid irritation or not being able to meet up your financial duties.

[SensitiveEyes]

A supportive spouse could make you feel untouchable when selecting bets like having a good luck charm by your side. Spouses should have different roles to commit in life, a spouse encouraging gambling is not supportive. A bad influence is not supportive. Why take your spouse gambling when you want to gamble. Gambling on holiday like a cruise or slot machines in Vegas is different, still is not a supportive spouse.

[reagansimms]

I think it was a great gambling experience with your partner even though you missed out on a big bet at the roulette table, but losing a small amount (only $25) for 1.5 hours of entertainment on the cruise ship was well worth it for a fun wedding anniversary memory.

In my opinion, this is a healthy version of gambling and I strongly support it because it sets a great example for other gamblers. The reason I say that is because you have a limit in the game and a clear intention because you spent 1.5 hours + lost $ 25, that action is not gambling to get rich, but rather to pay for entertainment.

Playing with your partner, especially if they're your lucky charm, makes the atmosphere even more exciting. In my opinion, those are the most valuable memories, not the money or the amount you successfully withdraw.
May luck always be on your side both on your next journey.

I think OP just wants to have fun with happy moments together with their spouse. I don't think it's a bad thing if it's only done on certain occasions. Besides, a spouse can act as a controller of how we spend money. I believe that those who aren't really used to gambling tend to be more cautious than we are, who might gamble more often. Having fun is fine, that's not a problem. But if the goal later changes to getting your spouse to make money from gambling, then that's where it becomes wrong.

Your words suggest that your married life is quite happy. This is because you respect your spouse a lot. Usually, in developed countries, most husbands and wives take gambling and drinking together as a matter of course. But in most countries, people do not even discuss these matters in front of their wives, let alone gamble with their wives. Because they respect each other. However, due to the luck of their spouse, it is better not to bring their spouse to gamble, no matter how much a gambler wins.

She was my good luck charm on the slot machine I was losing up until I tagged her in (early before I lose it all lmao) good thing too because she came back and doubled the money we put into the slot machine.

It was fun though! We spend 1.5 hours and at the end of the day we lost 25 but it was worth it.

That is really cool, amazing and fun but one thing you should know is that sometimes we can be very lucky and sometimes we can be very unlucky and I would say that your spouse was actually a luck for you when she came in to join you though sometimes she may come and double the loss yea, because that is gambling for you. I can remember a day I went to gamble in a gambling hall I made a lots of profit the moment I stepped in there and I left when I started losing.

Everything sounds great in your writing style and it feels like you're clearly the gambler who has great control over himself. You spent a little money on entertainment and you weren't upset that you didn't make a profit from this activity. But in fact, gambling is a hobby or a temporary activity where profit is not important.
Only good emotions and small expenses are important. When I visit a cruise ship, I will definitely also visit the casino there, and I am sure that I will also be able to control myself and bring out only excellent positive emotions from this.

[fruktik]

I haven't gambled with my spouse on any occasion because she doesn't like it. I could remember in the beginning of our relationship, she told me that I should limit my gambling activities. As a matter of fact, she knows how much is my gambling budget for the week because she was the one that approved it. It will be fun if she will accept but we do have fun together with some other entertainment.

I never even told my family that I gambled. They found out under the worst possible circumstances. By then, it was too late, as I'd lost a large sum of money I'd borrowed from the bank. It was a shock to them. They couldn't even imagine I was capable of such a thing.

Now they know, but I have a completely different approach to casinos. No, none of my family gambles with me. They're not interested at all.

This type of experience happens once in a lifetime. So I am glad you guys enjoyed yourselves. I guess both of you will always remember and cherish the moments you shared as you celebrate your marriage anniversary.

I have not had such an experience, but I would gladly gamble on a cruise ship because it would be exciting. I wish you guys had won, anyway, happy anniversary.

Hey man, just wanted you to know that you are my lucky number 22 and this was by far the best comment that I read so far going through this thread. It really did feel like a once in a lifetime kind of chance because we did get the taste of winning together and she was my good luck charm. And I believe that she always will be. Ive seen so many comments against gambling with ones spouse and that is too common. Including her and sharing this fun experience made the trip so much more memorable. You should have seen the bling I gave her for this monumental 10 year. Cartier quality and 7 rocks amounting to 1 carrot in platinum. She deserves it. As for gambling, ive gambled my fair share but the best thing I ever did was bet that my girl would be the very best suit for me, and I won that bet boys! Ive won more than one can hope for in a partner in this life and I owe all the Glory to God! God led me to her and it was God that put us together in unity ❤️
