Hi gamblers, greetings to everyone..

So today, I was scrolling through my reddit feed, and I came across this post in the screenshot I share below..


After reading that post, I quickly remembered what I did some years back when I was still pretty much new to gambling and was kind of obsessed with it at that time, I remember it was on Sunday late morning after we came back from church, I darely needed to play some gambling game, but the children were running around the house making lots of noise, the little one will not stop climbing me, we've already had breakfast and my wife was busy watching a movie.
I left her and the children in the sitting room, took my phone and laptop and went into our third room reserved for visitors and locked myself in there, and started gambling, I was playing slot and casino games, and in between, I was also analyzing some upcoming sports matches to find suitable ones to place bet on.

More than 1 hour later, my wife came looking for me, and possibly was surprised i locked myself in the guest room, she inquired to know why, I told her I was studying some very important course online, and needed no disturbance at all, that was why I went to the guest room, she stood there, whether she believed or not, I do not know, I just know that she went her way after some seconds 😂😂.

So, when I came across that post on reddit, I couldn't help but laugh really hard, and also imagined how many of us gamblers out there are telling one lie or the other just to cover up our gambling habit..

I have a friend who lost a huge amount of money to gambling, and returning home that night, he lied to his wife that he was robbed, when the woman (being suspecious) asked why he was not beaten by the robbers, he got angry at her and almost beat her that night 🤣.

Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.


Doing it secretly means he's battling with gambling addiction,  nothing can be hidden under the sun, sooner or later the truth will eventually come out so there's no need to continue hiding it from his spouse, he should seek help before it's too late, isolating yourself and gambling means you are not doing it for fun purposes, it major be a major setback on your finances if not handled properly...if you are addicted to this point talk to people about problems instead of hiding it, it's better that way.
Yes this is true and also this is something that will really be that be a major problem on the moment that addiction cant really be controlled anymore. On marriage life then of course it would really be that understandable that our wife is the most important person in our life but there are things which would really be diverting out our interest and attention on which including into those external activities on which it causes for you to mind
off that more than with your own wife or loved ones on which this one solidly indicates that you are really that addicted into it. If you do really know that this could something that destroy your marriage then it would be better that you should get rid of it as much as you could without being caught by your wife. This is actually tough considering that you would really be doing this without being caught because on the time that you would be caught then that would be a problem.

If you are someone who dont be able to quit up then its your choice because this one makes you happy. Actually it wont really be something stressful if you would really be just that telling your wife that you are dealing with gambling but of course it would really be impossible that there wont really be those kind of arguments considering that gambling compromises finances on which this is something that a normal
reaction for someone to know that their loved ones involved with gambling.
