I’m sorry to be blunt, but the truth always comes out. You can’t escape drama in your life by covering things up. If that new person is so important to you, you’ll be able to find a compromise that is healthy for your relationship. You might even come up with something else for you to get the chills out of together!
Her fears are grounded. You don’t lose much money now, as you see it, but your significant other is probably afraid about what happens when you’re out of control and gamble your whole fortune away. Your financial state affects her as well.
I do Minecraft betting. It’s not the same of course, but it’s exciting! Do you play games? I can invite you to our server, if you like
I don’t get it. Are you married? The money you lose is your money, and it’s up to you how to spend it. I guess it’s the risk of addiction that women are so afraid of. If your wins or losses are comparatively small, you can explain to your woman that for you it’s just entertainment and that you are in control. You may prove it by setting limits on your account. Generally, just don’t make too much of a big deal out of it.
i’m betting on sports, but very, very rarely. if you want to make money on it, you’ll need to really put your back into it. it’s possible, but not with a day job. there’s a very thin line between fun and addiction. i try to keep it fun by not making it regular. as long as you’re doing the same, there’s no need to worry?
Please, don’t gamble. It ruined many lives. If for you it’s just a pastime, try to find another passion that is both challenging and rewarding and that’ll take your mind off the betting habit. I think you should confess to your partner about cyber betting, if you care about each other, you'll come to an agreement that'll suit you both.
I see no reason why you can’t bet on sports once or twice a month if you have no problem controlling yourself. But you shouldn’t keep secrets from your wife, that I can tell you for sure. And if you want to quit, you have to find a healthy hobby.
Do you ever win any money when cyber betting? If the answer is positive, just an idea: you can approach your partner and tell her you’re having this new habit of betting that you’d like to get rid of, but it’s proving hard. And tell her you are very willing to spend everything you win on small gifts for her. It sounds like a bribe, but if you put it nicely and your relationship is strong, I’m sure your partner can be supportive.
Cyber betting works on your brain chemistry as it releases a burst of dopamine and gives you the pleasant chills.
Answering all these questions will help you in deciding how you can be clear in your head before you approach her. Clarity will help you to handle the situation, relationship in a better way.
