    Do Your Kids Know You Gamble?

    If not, whose the last person who you would want to know that you gamble?

    Not old enough for kids, but the gf finding out wouldn't be such a good thing that's for sure.

    Why would anybody hide their gambling from anybody else? I would never do anything that I was ashamed of. And if you are hiding your gambling, you are ashamed of it. **** that, I love gambling. Every single person that I know knows that I gamble.

    My son knows. My daughter is too young to even know what gambling means. But yeah, since I had kids... I gamble far less and lower then I used to.

    Of course. I have no issues with anyone knowing I gamble.

    I'd much prefer that they understand what gambling is about and how to approach it responsibly.

    I can't fathom why anyone would view someone as so ignorant as to be unable to grasp a responsible gamblers approach.

    I dont have kids but my parents know that I gamble and that I have done since I was still at school (used to have a poker club during lunch and free periods).

    On the flipside though, I do know that my parents gamble - not often but they usually have a bet on the big race meetings (grand national, cheltenham gold cup etc). In fact more often than not, I end up putting their bets on for them !

    Everyone who knows me knows I gamble. I look at it as no different than when I go to Vegas for a few days. They know I'm not going up there to see a few shows.
