Topic: Are you Spending more or less money on Casino this Holiday season (Read 1070 times)

I did spend less on casino during the holiday season but boy oh boy, I should've just spent more in casino because I've spent a whopping $700 for gifts, foods and other stuff related to the holiday, I don't regret spending those, the smile on their faces was a good compensation for that expenditure. Another good thing about the holiday season is that I've stopped gambling for a month! It's a bliss so that is why I can't really regret that spending spree, I'm fully renewed and will be able to gamble like a different person because of that 1 month detox. My advice to everyone, spend more time and money on other stuff if seasons like this are happening.

You were lucky to have so much time and money to gamble during the holidays, in my case I was incredibly busy and like most people I was spending way more money than usual thanks to all the gifts and additional expenses the holidays generate, and while I enjoy it, at the same time I am happy that it is finally over and I can go back to my previous life and reduce my expenses, not only because I plan to invest most of that money in bitcoin, but also because it gives me some additional money which can be used to gamble.

Holiday season is over and I am wondering, I just want to know how much our other companions spent on gambling? especially since we know that most of us received a holiday bonus. I didn't spend money in gambling this past few days because there's a lot of things I need to prioritize that's why gambling has been set aside and that's a good thing that I did because for sure, all the holiday bonus that I got will surely spent in gambling.

Christmas holidays are a period of tranquility where we are not busy with daily work in the company. and indeed many spend their money to have fun with the world of gambling in a casino.
But this is for fun during the holidays, not for gambling and lusting to get many times the profit from gambling.
I myself only spend time in online gambling, just lying down and preparing only 10% of the money I have. so even if I lose I think it has paid off with the pleasure obtained. even if you win, just consider it a Christmas and New Year's gift.

I do not actually know how they holiday went for some people, but for me it was full of fun and there was no such time to begin to visit the casino or gamble. Actually the money I spent during the holidays have already been budgeted for the holiday spending. The Christmas holidays is not something that is fixed at emergency or imprompt. Is annually and seasonal so anyone who wishes to spend money during the Christmas must have served such amount of money before the holiday starts. So, some gamblers Who instead of gambling and their normal pace hard to increase their steak in order to win big for the holiday might as well lose all.
In conclusion, I did not actually gamble during the holidays because I was preparing on how to travel and when I travel, I met persons I have not seen for so long time so there was no time to gamble let alone to spend more in gambling.

Same here, im not really that just spending less on gambling but also into those expenses that i have been usually be spending on holiday season on which i can tell that im a bit wise now
when it comes to spending money specially on things which arent really that something needed. As for those family presents and other occasion then it would really be just that in default
but for other things then it isnt really necessary for you to deal up in  something which we know that it could really just that add up on the expense on which its not really that worth.
@OP, this thread should be lock i believe? We arent on a holiday season anymore and it would really be that impossible that you havent been able to get
on the responses and answers that you are looking for. 

Since the holiday season is now over, I can say that I have spent a lot less. The main reason was because I was quite busy and that seems to be the case for a lot of people as well. It depends on how busy you are and how free you are, and that changes if you gamble more or not. If you are a person who during the holiday season you have to do a lot of stuff and have a lot of places to be and things to do, then you are not going to have too much time to gamble, which means you will not gamble.

But, if you are a person who just gets time off work, and just stays at home and not have much to do, then you are going to have a lot of free time, so you will get to gamble a lot more in that case. It all depends on the situation.

When we are on holiday, it is best not to gamble, especially if you don't have extra money that you don't need to use. You also don't need to borrow money from other people to gamble, but rather enjoy the holiday well and refresh your mind from your busy daily activities. And with the holidays, we must make good use of them with our families because they are quality time that we can provide for our families to create an even better atmosphere. It is also important to balance our lives between work, entertainment, and time for family so that we can enjoy life more without serious problems occurring in our lives.

Some people can use their vacation time well with their family and they don't do other things that have nothing to do with their family. They know that when they are on holiday, they must be able to enjoy it well because it is a way to relieve tension in carrying out daily activities. Placing sports bets is okay because we are not in the casino for a certain period. We place bets, and after that, we return to the family to enjoy the vacation.

Usually, people working in offices or companies will get certain bonuses for their work to celebrate with their families. And if a little of that money can be allocated for gambling, it won't be a problem because they still have some other money for vacation. And yes, it would be much better because they could also spend their time on holiday with their family.

They only think briefly about being able to get money to gamble and usually, they don't think about what will happen if they lose from gambling. That will cause difficulties for them because they have to pay back the money they borrowed even though all the money has been used for gambling. They will be unable to finish everything if they are unaware of what they are doing and will do it again.

Yes, I agree with not being in debt to anyone for gambling so that we experience problems that we may have never imagined. It would be better if we gambled with our own money and always limited our gambling activities so that the money would not be immediately used up for gambling. We must control ourselves well so we don't experience problems, let alone bankruptcy, like other gamblers.

Of course. This is the end of year holiday and the beginning of the year, it would be a loss if we didn't use this time not to go to the casino. I'm sure we will collect a lot of money during 2023. We should set aside some for our vacation time. I think the casino is a good place to play to spend the end of the year here. The most important thing is that we know when to stop and don't spend all our money here.

Yes, some people have their own desires, some spend most of their time in casino and there are also those who go on holiday, I myself prefer to go on holiday because gambling can be done anytime, anywhere, because gambling has no holiday, while Christmas holidays are only once a year, so It's better to spend time with family and find entertainment to relieve our daily stress in earning money. Of course we need to refresh our brains so that we can continue to enjoy life without feeling excessive pressure.

I spend most of my time on holiday so I don't think about gambling at all and it's better that way but when the holiday is over we will continue our activities as usual and gamble as usual but still with expenses that I can afford so as long as I still have time for a holiday I will enjoying it with my family without gambling

For those who had to travel across borders to go spend this holiday season with families or friends, the cost of transportation is one of a concern mostly for those areas where one is not really known or have network of good friends willing to help.

There's also the case of being in an environment where casinos either don't exist or are very few, but for those of us using online casinos, the best way to make the best of this holiday is to only gamble with allocated funds, specifically for the purpose and nothing more than that, else, one may have to start borrowing or become indebted when it's time to return to ones place of original residency.

  That is correct. I don't know why other gamblers don't understand that they shouldn't borrow money just to use it to play gambling in the crypto space. It's as if they themselves are the ones who are doing what they are going to do to their own heads.

  As much as possible, don't get into debt just for gambling. Let's just gamble with the amount of money that we can afford to lose playing gambling. Let's not be like others whose lives have been ruined in this style.

I'm sure you manage your finances well. and that's what should be done.
Some people don't choose to go on holiday and spend their holiday time at home or just in their city. Maybe they would choose to spend more of their money at the casino during the year-end holidays. But for people planning to spend time with family and friends, there isn't much time to gamble and play at the casino.
I personally spend a fixed amount that I usually allocate to betting.

It is not recommended for anyone to borrow money to gamble and if that happens it will be a very big problem at the end of the betting session.
even though it's on holiday and it only comes once a year, we don't need to force ourselves to borrow money to gamble, enjoy the holiday, while gambling is not the main priority, but family plays an important role when the holiday season arrives, we just need to spend our time with our family, going on holiday somewhere and if you need money for a holiday, maybe that's not a problem because you're doing it to enjoy it with your family, but if you borrow money just to gamble, you can only enjoy yourself and have a bad impact when you lose at gambling.


I never thought about spending time on holidays like this again just for gambling. In fact, I almost dont have time for gambling. I can only place sports bets after that, go with my family and never spend large amounts of money because for me, holidays are something that must be done enjoy it with the family, not with the casino.

and if we have more money or a bonus before the holidays, it would be better to just leave a little for gambling or maybe dont need to set aside money for gambling and use it to have fun with the family, that's much better.

That's right! borrowing money just to gamble is not adviseable especially now that you're having financial crisis situation, you need to think practical things and having a debt for gambling should not in the list. Come to think of it, maybe that's one way to reduce your time in gambling and focus on having a higher and stable income. I agree that this can be also a test to yourself if you can overcome the temptation of gambling.

Voted for spending less, there is no other reason except the fact that I need to spend my money more in real life with my family (Christmas, vacation, and new year).
Aside that I spend less money, I also spend less time during holiday season because holiday is simply time for most people (including myself) to spend with their beloved family.
Spending more money and time for our family is better choice than spending them for gambling especially in such a specific important event like Christmas and New Year.

Though I am late to answer yet I joined those who spends lesser in gambling this holiday ,  not like in the past before pandemic that I reserved almost 1/3 of my Bonus from job to be budget to spend in casino houses, sometimes with my wife or with my friends.
but I have learned from my mistakes specially what COVID19  thought me , to learn how to save as much money as we can any time because we will never knew when cases like pandemic will happen and I don't wanted to be caught by surprise again.
this time I am more mature and instead of  trying my luck(that mostly not happening) i choose to by coins to keep holding and also add some funds in our house renovation .

No is my answer. I just had an uncommon Christmas and New Year holidays. I was excessively busy with various family and social gatherings. I longed for my old holidays, but I also enjoyed my holidays in other ways.

Previously, I visited casinos in my city and enjoyed playing with my companions. The lights and decorations inside and outside the casinos. There are many visitors and players and laughter. Anyhow, this Christmas season I played games on web-based gambling casinos and also made wagers on football and basketball matches. But the spending is not the same as my previous Christmas seasons.

Cant really say that I have spend more money. Definitely havent spend much of my own money. But I can say that I have visited casinos more frequently during Christmas or New Year times. This is due to  casinos giving various bonuses. It takes some time visiting, collecting and etc. I think I have spend more than usual, but these were casinos giving money. Imho casinos did well by catching me with bonus hunting. Anyway, I have finished casino holiday season with profit

You don't need to borrow money to gamble because it will only give you problems, especially since your income is not enough to meet your other needs. You have to think more about meeting more important needs than just gambling. Moreover, it's okay if you don't gamble this holiday because you can go back to gambling whenever you want, of course, after you have enough money to use for gambling. By not gambling at this time, you can spend time hanging out with your family, providing quality time for you and your family. It's good if you can control yourself by not gambling because you don't have money.
