Do your parents/in-laws know you gamble at the level you do?

Had this situation the other day:



The receptionist and I were talking about a co-worker who is a "semi-pro" fisherman, to the point of obsession. I told her that I have no interest in fishing but i imagine the fisherman would think some of the things I obsess over are worthless. The receptioinst than says "oh what do you do that you enjoy that much". I couldn't give her a straight answer. I Just said that I have very few interests but the few i have put 110% into. After a few seconds she realizied that I wasn't about to tell her. The worst part was I think she had some weird thoughts going thru her head. Just didn't have the energy to try and explain and justify what I did. I would never try to explain to my parents because I'm positive my mom would be calling GA the second she got off the phone. i actually find myself down playing my bet size to everyone, out of fear they may think differenty of me

Mine know, because I send them a copy of accounts information before I travel by plane, just in case.

My parent know because I got my mom rich doing this. My in- laws know because their daughter is worry free and gets to enjoy life much better than most.

so you have no problem emailing account names and passwords and balances? I would think there would be a much greater chance of someone else intercepting this then for your plane to nosedive.

I don't email them... I print them and drop them in when I visit.

No, but after I'm done following Bucs and Choptalk during baseball season, they might get suspicious as to how I can afford a Lexus.

Mine know, why would I hide the fact that I gamble? If you are hiding it or hiding bet amounts you have a problem.
