Question Does your spouse know how much you gamble?
For the married guys - does your spouse know you gamble? If yes, do they know how much?

For the unmarried guys - do you share this info with gf or anyone close?

How about family & close friends?

How about co-workers or your boss?

Do you have any family or friends that hate you gambling?

Yes, wife knows I gamble and how much. She loves betting the horses herself when we go to the track. Everyone I know is aware I bet the horses, which is what I bet on mostly. I dont bet with money I dont have so no reason to hide it.

Some girlfriends knew & one did have a problem with it. Although, the latest one knows & doesn't have a problem with it. She likes when I win & thus can spend more on her lol or go out to a fancier restaurant. She knows I bet what I can afford to lose and don't let it affect us when we go out.

My wife deals blackjack and works at a sportsbook, so obviously cool with it. She is on a 7-1 MLB run herself, although she mostly steals my plays.

Used to have a bunch of friends that bet sports, but all but a couple had to give it up. When I worked in sports, nearly everyone in the business gambled at least a little, and a few did it daily. My old boss used to do ads for some offshore books.

My wife knows I gamble and how much I`m up or down. It don`t bother her at all. She roots for the teams I pick and when they don`t win she has a few words to say about the team and certain players that did win. lol She bets the NFL and has fun doing it. She is also hooked on the Texas Lotto.

Engaged and she knows i gamble and is fine with it. She even likes to bet her hunches when we go to games or watch one on tv together. you know women and "their vibes". She actually does pretty well. The best bet she told me to place was a couple years ago, when oregon st beat USC. i remember i had orst +28. the money line was something crazy like +1400. She told me Orst was gonna win. Placed the bet and it paid for a little vacation together. I think ever since then she has no complaints as long as i dont go into debt over it.
