A few years ago I won BIG on a Super Bowl pot. Since my spouse knew the person running the board I would let him purchase my squares for me using MY money. Win or lose I was on a board every week. I really had an excellent football season that year. Won lots of $$$$$$$!!!!

Any-who, after my spouse collected my Super Bowl winnings, I split it 50/50. I didn't have to but I did. After pocketing his 50% of my winnings he said, You have a gambling problem. I said, Well give me the money back then.... [ More ]

No one has any say on how I spend my money. I don't tell them how to spend their money.

If i was to ever found the holy grail of lottery i could not tell my family that i found it because none of them would believe me and none of them want to hear about it...Not even uncles, except for my youngest sister...They all like to play Panama only lottery which is a Pick4 to see if they can win 2,000 to resolve them but they don't want to hear me talk about systems or theories, or nothing...

Yet nobody tells them about alcohol, they like to talk about alcohol or the bars they frequent o... [ More ]

My husband often walks into the local store where I play lottery, keno and other games and say to my cohorts, who are also playing, somebody, give my wife the number to gamblers anonymous.....and then, he proceeds to play also.

Other members of my family have now come to except my playing. As long as I can pay for it, not complain of losing all of the time and continue to play, report some wins from time to time, then they don't find it a big problem.

Heck, it's relaxing, exciting and fun... [ More ]

Does your family get sick of you playing the lottery? is just another way of saying: Does your family think you have a Gambling Problem?

If my family includes me, then the answer is Yes. I'm sick of me playing the lottery.

Otherwise, I never discuss it with my family.

The name of this thread is Does your family get sick of you playing the lottery? . Raven62 probably thought if someone sickens their family by their actions then that could be a problem which is a reasonable response to the question.

My wife used to get upset about me spending money on the lottery. However, after I did my homework and started winning, she now stands behind me 100%. She realizes that it is a hobby of mine and that occasionally my hobby brings in a little extra cash to help out with the bills.

Problem gambling is any gambling behavior that disrupts your life. If you're preoccupied with gambling, spending more and more time and money on it, chasing losses, or gambling despite serious consequences, you have a gambling problem.

Problems caused by excessive gambling are not just financial. Too much time spent on gambling can lead to relationship breakdown and loss of important friendships.

Problem gamblers often rationalize their behavior. Blaming others is one way to avoid ta... [ More ]

My Husband is the same way!! When I win its wonderful, but when I go to get my tickets he says its a waste of good money!! I told him that I wanted to help our family and then his reply is who helpped us?

Hope we win big and fool them both.

My husband hates it when I trying to do my stat, and when I'm on l L.P. He loves it when I win, you would think he did all the work.
