Do you ever gamble with your spouse on a cruise?

[Peanutswar]

In my perspective if you found both of yourself having fun with this date its a win win situation for you because first you made gamble at the same time you are with the important person. But if this happens more often, I guess it's not fun anymore you are spending too much money than using into other more valuable things than gambling. For sure it seems you got ran of time thats the time you seek for another date with her but of course with a bonding not related into gambling.

[Insanity]

I would gamble with her but not with a cruise, only through the online casinos.
But that's going to be another and next level of relationship to do it on a cruise ship.
That should be on the couple's list to enjoy and renew the vow that both of us have promised together.

for me I will rather not to gamble with her but cruise with her in any length That She Wants because cruising is like catching fun with her, one thing we need to understand is that anything we engage woman into she may likely continue to do so, so I'm that kind of person that does not like to involve my woman into anything that has to do with gambling it is better that I involved why in in your order entertainment except involving her into gambling

I respect your view point. Most of all, a cruise is about spending quality time together, enjoying oneself and enjoying special moments as a couple. For some, gambling can be a source of entertainment, but others are not interested in adding it to their relationship. If your wife doesn't want to gamble, then there is no reason to encourage your wife. On a cruise, there are no dearth of other activities that can be done together without betting. So, the upshot is that a lot of fun and togetherness is more important than playing in the end.

Yes I would have to agree..gambling needs to be done on occasions like this with your spouse if youre gambling at all. Its too addictive, but in most cases it seems like women dont really like gambling the way that men do so I feel like its more of a rarer occurrence for this type of gambling relationship to occur. But hey who knows.

[ArabBTC]

Well personally i won’t subscribe to gambling with once partner, family relative or friend, whether on a boat cruise or anywhere, the reason is because gambling is always emotional based and the loser in every gambling is always not happy, no one is happy when he/she loses and mind you not everyone has the capacity to control their emotions especially when losing, i have once gambled with my spouse and the outcome wasn’t funny, she was completely not happy to the extent i observed that it changed the way she treated me that period just because she saw me as an opposition, someone in contest with her, so every of my moves became suspicious to her.

Yes i can say it’s always good to marry someone that is your friend, that you can do things together with but i won’t advise anyone to gamble with his/her spouse especially if they will stake something example cash because it will create an unnecessary competitive environment for both partners that might not end well. Partners can always have fun together other ways without directly gambling against each other, you can convince your partner into supporting same sports club you support, you can also buy same club jersey for her just to make it colorful but please don’t gamble with your spouse so that it doesn’t affect the relationship because not everyone have the emotional capability to handle a lose.

LOL! That's is not speculations but it's reality. Women don't actually like to gamble, they normally see it as something that waste resources so they normally kick against it mostly when they are pretty aware that their husband is involve in it.

I have a neighbor that normally fight all day, all because the man do gamble.  After several fights and querrel, they were being confronted by people around and was ask what the problem was, that was when the lady claimed that her husband gamble all day without even thinking if his children had eating anything. So in summary, women really don't like it because they feel it's a kind of distraction towards their family.

It only happened to me once, I too on a cruise, honeymoon we were young and without thoughts and responsibilities, we played the slots and after the first shots we won (I don't remember how much), after half an hour we lost everything, we were hurt and we didn't play anymore. On the other hand, we recovered by having fun hiking and no longer thinking about that bad episode.

[swogerino]

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.

First of all I have to get on a cruise with my family and most likely I know she would not mind gambling in the casino, physical casino there. Most people on cruises usually do gamble with their spouse while on vacation as normally the spouse here maybe unsuspecting about the husband if he is a compulsive gambler or not, I mean in honey moon trips as that is what most cruise trips are all about, enjoying a nice vacation. I don't like water that much that is why I stay in the shore and my vacations are in very non deep seas where you can walk a lot before the water becomes deep.

I hope this didn't put a damper on your trip back then. But you can say that afterward, you were strongly motivated to be cautious with gambling. Because such a small, unpleasant experience is very valuable, and such a turn of events is definitely better than winning nonstop and becoming completely addicted to gambling. It works like a small-dose vaccination that protects you from harm later. The author of this thread, however, didn't experience a nasty loss, and therefore runs the risk of continuing to gamble on future cruises.

Yes, i have experienced at the time that we made a cruise for 7 days to japan and vice versa and with that duration we did really test out to gamble for the sake of curiosity and since we are having a vacation then there's no much thing to do aside on just staring the sea at the cabin then we decided to play up and the experience was great but of course everything should really be in control as we do know that we do have that budget on which you do need up to be careful because once you do lose that control then that budget would be blown away.  . Aside from side gambling then of course we naturally test out those rides on which its normal for us to enjoy. My wife isnt a gambler but she tested it out and found it fun on which it isnt really that bad to let her do something that she didnt try before but at least you are there and you both are playing but having the moderation and control on which its important.

Your case is example of what they call gambling for fun. You are with the love of your life and at that state, losing got nothing on yiu since it was all for the fun. I have not tried it though but I can inly imagine how it will feel to gamble with a partner. I'm a person that mingle more with opposite hobbies, people who compliments me so I doubt my partner will gamble. Perhaps under the premise you describe,  it is possible for us to try our hands on some physical casino, it will really be fun.

[Bryan jessy]

Congratulations on your anniversary! Haven't had such experience before, a true definition of, "I married my type" that is amazing, marrying someone who knows and understand you, someone who does not judge what you do wrongly,  your spouse doesn't only compliment you but also complete you, never ashamed or against what you do but likes it just the same way you do, that is marriage, though some men do not really involve their spouse on their activities especially gambling related, because people see gambling as a thing for men and not for women, it's really hard or almost impossible to see a man introducing their spouse to gambling games they believe their spouse will not understand how it works. It's a thing of choice, every which way.

[Somegory]

Maybe when I get married, for now the only gamble I do with relatives are not casino based, since slots is mostly what I risk money on, I like challenging my relative to football match on playstation and yes we use money at times.

We also do street fighter and mortal Kombat, it's cool this way because it's 2 player made possible, most casino games are one player mode and the likes of roulette and card games aren't my thing.

If I want to get married I will let my partner know that I am a gambler and I am responsible with gambling, no unnecessary risks, just someone who gambles for fun.

A reminder to those who have never been on a cruise and want to gamble. When you go to casino there, you can either deposit own money to play, or use your cruise card (which is key to your cabin, your identity card, your wallet) to play. You spend money during cruise (buy drinks, souvenirs, excursions) or gamble, but pay for everything what you have spent when you leave cruise. This gives opportunity to gamble now (you dont physically spend money) but pay later. For someone it might be a trap.

Very important tidbit of info here, they do put a block on your card for that amount, because you give your card beforehand and not while paying. So if you book a cruise, you give your credit card information, and they block a chunk of it, not take it, like they are not taking your money, they are just blocking you from spending anywhere else, and saying "this chunk can't be used by us, the owner, or any other company and should be untouched", so nobody touches that chunk of money on your card.

Then, when you want to leave, whatever amount you spent there, they take it from there, so you can't just spend more than what that blocked amount is. If they blocked lets say 20k on your card, you can't just get 50k playing chips on the casino part.

I have different experience with my cruises. Before cruise even started, I did not give any credit card information, but I only gave overall personal information (and probably I sign something during check-in, that will let them charge and sue me later if I leave ship without paying spent on board credit).

The tricky part is. Let say you have only $1000 on your bank account. But when you are given cruise card, it does not have any info how much money you have. You can spent more $1000 during cruise on drinks, entertainment, gambling. And on the last day of your cruise when you leave ship, you have to pay for what you have spent. See the trick? You have limited amount of money in your daily life, but on the board the ship you have unlimited amount of money. They have probably have limits and ask you to cover what you have spent quicker than end of cruise. But the fact is they allow you to spend more than you have.

Yes we both gamble in a casino when we go out but not on a cruise thats very high class and Im yet to experience it. For us we gamble to enjoy and just like you maybe celebrate or have some fun and enjoy while ina gambling casino. We dont wager bigger than we allocated for gambling as our goal are simply to have some leisure for anti stress and have some fun in a while in spite of all the problems in the world.

Lol I don’t know how two couples having gambling as a common interest mean they’re truly meant for each other, (except of course that’s not what you mean) because they could still have gambling as a common interest and still have variety of other activities which they disagree about. But yeah having gambling as a common interest can be a real advantage to both of them in several ways, especially when there’s transparency among the both of them.

In my neighborhood there is a couple who both like to gamble and as far as I know their situation is not very stable, meaning that they belong to the lower middle class and I think the reason they do it is because it has become a habit before marriage, but what I think is that they mean that they accept this habit with each other in the sense of addiction, I can only think negatively. I mean I'm afraid it could destroy the family relationship.

Of course, this can ruin a relationship. It's crucial to understand this and not take the game too lightly. It requires a more responsible approach, and better control over the risks associated with the shared bankroll. I think there are few couples in which a woman and a man can develop together in terms of improving their game, nourish each other, and share their knowledge about the game. In general, I think it's possible to have fun and have an interesting and enjoyable time, but this requires strict risk management and emotions, which can become overwhelming during losses and wins. These will always be present in the game, and the most important thing is how we experience them together.

Well you don’t say…
It’s rare to find two couples who are heavily deep into gambling addiction, but I guess we can agree it’s not impossible to say there are people like that. And the truth is that such habit is indeed is capable of destroying that family if none of them fail to take the bull by the horn and seek for help. I feel it would be more difficult since it’s the both of them who are involved in the addiction, and it’ll even be worse if there are kids in the picture too, because those kids might grow up and emulating such behavior.

Some people never believe that people gamble solely for happiness or pleasure. But your story proves it does exist. From what I read in your story, you didn't strategize or organize your finances excessively. It's simply about how you and your wife enjoyed a happy vacation while gambling. This refutes the claim that gambling is entertainment, which is a lie. In fact, your story is not like that.

The vacation was fully budgeted for; gambling comes into the plan as part of the fun things to do while on that vacation, which are part of the entertainment. The op had a good family moment with the wife, which is great. Some people could have gambled till it turned from the fun they wanted to derive from it into what could have ruined the rest of the moment.

You know what, I am not really surprised when you said they are lower middle class which means they are almost the same as third class people so any character can be seen or exhibited by people without proper and good information and understanding. It is very wrong for  a spouse to be playing gamble and the worst to be even call an addict because what are they are going to teach their children? Because apparently they won't teach the children anything meaningful and sometimes the children can inherit this act.

[fighter2627]

I have never gambled with my husband, but in fact, I don't tell him if I gamble because I know he will get angry. So if I try to gamble, only I know what I'm doing with my gambling.

Also, I rarely gamble, and it depends on the situation, I'm not like other gamblers who have a habit of gambling. I only occasionally gamble online.
