Honestly, I can't think of a situation where "I'll admit" is distinguished from "I admit" -- unless you're actually saying you will admit something in the future that you do not admit now. It's just a slight circumlocution. Use whichever you want.
The rest of those sentences is incomprehensible to me. I don't know what "I rolled at [phrase]" would mean. Do you mean you found something fu

I rolled = I laughed
"It's a hideous" was the response doctor gave in the story book that I am reading when parents asked him"is it a boy or a girl?"

With that context, I would understand it's a hideous.
As you can see, I had no idea what 'I rolled' meant. I haven't heard anyone say that.

I have always thought "I will" implies that you are ready to admit or won't shy away from admitting.
I admit that I am a nerd------I thought it always meant admitting on the spot as in the person is admitting at present
I will admit that I am a nerd-------- I thought its the attitude of the person in addition to admitting on the spot. In other

As I said, There is often no real difference between these two phrases. But what you say above is correct.
In addition, don't forget that 'I will admit . . .' can simply refer to the future,
eg I don't admit it right now, but I will admit it tomor

Using "I admit" suggests that the listener might think you would not admit it. "I will admit" is slightly stronger, and suggests that there is a "but" following.
e.g. "I will admit that dogs are very loyal, but they do bite people".
e.g. "I will admit that dogs are very loyal, but they do bite people".

DibWhat's the difference between I'll admit ... I admit ...Given the discussion above, I'd say that I admit is neutral whereas I'll admit suggests willingness to admit (something). I'd say that in this case will is not a marker of the future but a throwback to its original meaning of being willing.
