Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.
Yes I have. I have told a gambling lie before and I consider it to be a harmless white lie. I had to do it to protect the recipient of the lie and myself. I don't want my spouse to gamble. It is not a good thing. I want to gamble while she's aware and acts as my second mind in case I start being delusional with gambling habits. If she gambles and I gamble, it won't be good for the family. She handles the cash, she hands over to me the money planned for gambling when it is exhausted, no cash is coming from her towards that area.. that's a good agreement to have. It eliminates lie, deception, and distrusts.
It sounds like a good deal and an effective way to manage your gambling responsibly while keeping family relations healthy. I think any method that works well for both parties is commendable. But your concept of white lies although seemingly harmless can actually be a bit selfish. Every lie no matter how small, can rob someone of their agency depriving them of the chance to react to the true nature of the situation. I believe we really need to strive for more honesty. In doing so, we allow real trust to develop, ensuring that decisions are made with all the cards on the table.
