Do you check conscious or unconsciously lied to someone or to your love ones to cover your gambling loses? And what kind of lying did you do? Did you tell that you just lost like $50 but in reality it's $500.00? Or that you lend some money to your friend, but then you go and play on casinos? Or you tell that your paycheck is short and there is something wrong with it and so you will have to ask your company's HR about it?
every gambler usually have one or two lies to cover up their loses. i have sold my home appliance to gamble and when i was asked about it, i told my family that it developed some fault and i took it to the workshop for respire and till today it has not been repaired. that was how i escaped the problem that would have happened.

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?
how is admitting that you've lost a weakness? to me admitting to loses is not a sign of weakness but that is just the reality. because as a gambler you must surely win and lose. and the important is that you will lose more than win.

Yes, I have, because I lost control of my gambling activities and so made use of little amount of part of our reserve fund with me, so I lied that I used it for my most pressing personal needs , which was a little tough in convincing.
It is adviceable to be truthful and sincere to your spouse in your gambling activities, so that both of you can understand and be helpful to one another and fight any challenges you find yourself during your gambling life.

Secrets are bad and hurting, therefore be trusted and truthful to one another,  to avoid regrets in future
