Is there a problem here? (1 Viewer)

I am curious if my husband has a gambling problem. Let me start by saying we don't have any money problems, but I wonder if we may have future money problems. I am not sure how to explain how he gamble so here is a list.

10 to 15 fantasy football leagues (this is the first year he actually lost money at the end of the year that I can remember, he was down about 500 bucks he said)

1 or 2 fantasy basketball leagues (He just started last year, I am not sure how he has done in them they are cheap leagues)

1 or 2 trips to Vegas each year (although there hasn't been a trip since I got pregnant back in September of 2012)

on average 1 trip to the local casinos a month (since our child has been born he has only went 2 times in 9 months)

he bowls 1 night a week and gets into jackpots and bets 5 dollars a game against 2 of his friends

he has money on a sports betting site, which he places bets every night during football and basketball season (he started with 200 dollars about 3 years ago and has never reloaded, I know this because I do the bills and have never seen a charge except the original one)

he also used to play in a poker league, but he quit this year because knew he would travel a lot for work and to save some money because of the new baby.

I am not sure if I should be worried or not. I never really cared before because it was just us. Now we have a baby to think about and I would like to stop a problem before it happens, but I also don't want to make him made because he seems to have it under control and it is just a hobby.

What do you all think?

I honestly don't think he has reloaded. We only have a bank card and one credit card. If he has reloaded it is on another card he has secretly and has sent to a PO box or something.

I'm going to assume this is real:

Your husband isn't blowing through cash, and if he hasn't reloaded he must have a decent sense of what he's doing and he has good bankroll management. Honestly, you could be doing way worse.

I assume, like me, he lives in the suburbs and shoots loads into only one vagine/mouf. Granite, it's what we sign up for, but it's not exactly a life of adventure. Gambling is fun. And even if he is losing a bit of money, consider it a hobby that isn't as dumb as collecting Star Wars figures or something.

I wouldn't worry about it. He sounds like a pretty normal dude, not a gambling degenerate.

Thanks, I could have done without the graphic middle part but I appreciate the advice. One more question, do you ever worry that you will over spend your limits?

He can reload via Western Union or Moneygram, Daisy. It would be easy to keep that from a spouse.

Not really. I usually never bet more than 5% of my bankroll on any one bet, so if I get killed over a couple days, I just reduce my bet size until I can build it back up. I started off betting $10 increments a couple years ago, I'm now up to $80-100.

Keeping it segregated from general family funds, I don't worry if I get my ### kicked. If I get creamed, it comes out of my winnings.

 
I am not close to a being psychologist, so my opinion isn't worth much here. That said, betting every day on football/basketball sounds like a gambling problem to me. The stakes don't really matter.

He could but I would see money missing from our bank account and I balance the budget and have yet to see anything missing

I don't know enough about his bets to say how much he bets or even how much is in that account. I only know about fantasy football because I do it too and I won money this year and I asked if he won or lost so I could brag if I won more.

BOOOOOOO :thumbdown: And it is real hard to bet everyday. i think it is the day before, and the day after the MLB all-star game where it is difficult to find something to bet on.

No he doesn't freak out about results very often. Once in a great while I will here him cheer on a big play for his fantasy guys or get mad if they drop a big pass or a penalty is called on a big play. Never kicking or breaking anything

 
Does he have a Tom Izzo tattoo on his back?
No lol, he like MSU and UM. Frankly I find it sickening.
If you had to choose between letting him experience one night of passion with another women (completely safe) that he would never see again or you getting a full-sized back tattoo of Mateen Cleaves with wolf hair and the caption "Ma-Teen Wolf", dunking a basketball, which would you choose?

 
See if he knows who the mascot for Canisus is
I asked and he said no idea

No they usually go late at night because he has a weird work schedule and his other buddies don't get off work until 7 at night. So their trips usually start at 9pm and they come home around 3 to 6 am. When I go with him we go from like 5 or 6 at night until midnight
