I moved this thread to Main Street. My wife and most of my good friends know I gamble. I do know some people that hide it.

Gambling is only a problem if you are losing.

here is some advice for you, if your girl is "down with it" so far;

dont talk too much about the winning days, dont ever talk about the losing days, which you will have.

AND NEVER let a game ruin a night of fun etc. like watching a 4 hour baseball game on a fri night instead of going out.

follow all of these and she can never use gambling against you.

My wife knows my avatars very well. She helps me pick them out. Family and friends have seen my avatars before.

jarhead hit the nail on the head here..my family knows i gamble but i never show emotion when i lose..of course if i win they know cause i'm a lil more energetic. The key is its ok to vent if you're alone but dont let it get into your personal life.
