A semi closet? The wife and some close friends know. My extended family and other friends don't know as they would probably be very negative towards my betting on sports.

Most know actually, and support it.

There are the random family members that think I'm going to lose everything.

I think it makes it Easier on you as a gambler, when you don't have to hide it.

Gambling will always be looked upon by society as a terrible thing for someone to do. It has never been accepted. That's why I come on here because we all have that one thing in common. People that don't bet on sports will never understand what and why we do what we do.

An accurate statement but not only that the idea of the "degenerate gambler" has been so firmly implanted into the minds of the masses when they think of a sports gambler that's all that comes to mind.

Supposedly my Dad had a gambling problem but that's just my Mom's speculation. I tell her I gamble a little bit in Vegas but not in sports.

She caught me looking at theRX at her house when I was visiting and she said "you don't gamble on that do you"? Of course I lied to her because I didn't want her to criticise me like she has done on so many other things before.

For me personally, If it ever came to the point I couldn't tell anyone how often/much I was gambling then it would be a problem. My only problem is my impulsive husband trying to encourage me to make bad bets. "Put it all on this or that" Idiot!
