I haven't spent much on this holiday. The financial situation isn't good and my earning isn't enough to spend on gambling. At times my mind think about borrowing money and gamble. I'm keeping myself under control and hoping for better gambling days soon when my financial situation gets better.
You need to resist the desire to gamble if you do not have the money, by this time most of the expenses we all had to make are over so we will have some time to recover, and once you do you can begin to gamble again if you want, so take this as a test, if you can avoid gambling even when you want it then you will know you have a very good control over yourself and this hobby, but if you cannot do it then this should probably be a sign that you should try to become more disciplined from now on and gamble even less than in the recent past

I'm definitely spending less this year of holiday because of the meagre resources that I have at my disposal. If I was to decide, I don't want to even gamble at this period of life when a lot of things have really skyrocketed in price and only the extremely rich people can spend money for fun now. I am operating under a very tight budget in that all my expenses are well calculated and properly allocated.
These budget include my feeding, health and logistics and other expenses which are well throughout of the projects are plan to do. 2024 will be a year of the survival of the fittest meaning if you are strong physically, you should be able to muscle up your pocket with finance.

I understand that, however, as a gambler, we like this kind of entertainment, so if not gambling is resulting to depriving ourselves with the kind of happiness we are looking, that's not good though. I mean, gambling isn't that expensive, most of the casinos here could allow at a minimum of $1 per bet, may lessen your budge to what you can only dispose, so you can still take care of the most important things you need to spend on this holiday season.
IMO, it's just all about financial management, regardless on how much you are earing (at least you're earning), as long as you know how to manage your funds, you should not struggle financially. Struggles will only come once you hit with "gambling addiction" which I hope you haven't experience it yet and will never experience it.
Happy Holidays!

Are you spending more or less on casinos this holiday season?
I consider gambling this festive season a 'No No' as it is part of the things that might either turn my holiday sweet or sour but I don't want to take chances.
I'll schedule my events with what resources I have available, it will be the very wrong time to run into losses of any kind.
Imaging loosing your beer money to gambling, meaning no beer drinking in an era when it is most impossible to stay without a bottle to cool off with.

Although you have more funds due to Christmas bonuses, you also have more expenses. Thus, this extra money usually goes towards expiring insurance, road taxes, purchasing gifts and Christmas decorations, and so on. With that being said, the holiday season is a period that I'm spending less money on gambling purposes, and I'd dare to say that it's a period that I generally refrain from due to the limited time available and preferring to spend it with loved ones doing something more productive than being stuck behind a device's screen.

in my case, i'd say, i'll be spending the same. as i really do not indulge myself too much in gambling, i only spend the usual allocated funds for my gambling activities. and also, depends on the sports events available in this holiday season. but for casino classics, i'll spend the same. am not into parties or anything anymore, so i have a lot of time doing my unfinished projects.
My spending remains stable for two reasons....
Firstly, because I have well-defined time and money goals and I don't exceed them even on special occasions.
Secondly because I'm not going to take a vacation, so my free time will continue to be the same as in the past months.
But, considering players in general, I believe that the trend is for casinos to be much busier for two reasons: Greater number of "idle" players, especially young people who are going on school holidays. And the other is through salary bonuses, which is common in many countries.
I believe that for casinos this is a very profitable time of year.

Definitely gonna spend less, might even not gamble at all cause it's going to be very busy for me this coming holidays. Lots of family and relatives coming over for christmas and they're expected to stay here up until the New Year's Eve, so I gotta prepare. Not to mention the fact that I'd be busy with work too so there's that.
To some people who have it easy and might have extra pocket change lying around they might spend more this coming holidays on gambling than usual, to me it's fine and dandy as long as they know how to limit themselves. It's kind of annoying at this point to hear about stories where people went overboard with their gambling sprees, to the point that they ruined christmas for themsleves and their family members who are waiting for them to arrive, and not to mention the amount of money you'd lose within this period too sheesh.
For most of us I'd just say we save as much money as we can for the upcoming year, take this time to actually relax and touch grass, meet with friends, family and loved ones who matter the most to you. Don't let this time go to waste by spending it cramped and slouched inside your room betting on slots or whatever the fuck.

I gamble less during the holidays because I have other things to take care of. I should also say that I drink less alcohol during the holidays. I find it hard to focus on other things when I'm exploring new places and meeting new people. Fortunately, vacations are one week or two weeks a year. I just give them a break for a week or two weeks. 
and there are other activities that you will be busy with. that is, if you are a person with so many gatherings to go to. but if you are an introvert person, i would say you would gamble more because you would prefer to be in front of your computer and your games.

I mistakenly chose yes, but I wanted to choose no. I am not going beyond my gambling budget which is just 5% of my weekly income.
Actually gambling everyone have its limitations in gambling, when you gamble its you that will know your budget, so the ones that's is addicted in gambling is the that will not know the statistics of their weekends expenses in gambling, sometimes some people who has being beneficiary in gambling is the one that always seems weekends gambling as one of the good things so far, so I believe that a beneficiary in gambling have target and it always be accountable of any expenses he or her made in weekends gambles, so if you are not a lover of gambles you will not have budget for weekends gamble

The end of the month every year is what everybody is waiting for throughout the year, because this is the time you get your Christmas bonus and other bonuses like 13th month pay from other countries, because of the huge money coming in this holiday.
Are you spending more or less on casinos this holiday season?
Why add more? this is the only time of the year that you have additional funds why not enjoy playing more time with more funds if you get lucky you're holiday season will be merrier and prosperous.
Why spend less? This is the time of the year that there's a lot of spending and you have to buy a lot of gifts for your loved ones so I don't want to spend more on gambling I don't want to face this holiday losing money.
Tell us your opinion.

I am really glad to see by the results of the poll that people are spending less money on gambling in casinos and instead hopefully using that money to bring their friends and families joy this holiday! Or even using the money to improve themselves! Both are good.
I always try to spend as little money as I can on gambling, because I only gamble for fun. Sure, I might win or lose big sometimes, but I try to not let it get to my head. I would rather save the money on Bitcoin and give the BTC to a nocoiner as a Christmas gift. that ensures a better world, in my personal view

The casino in the gambling will be more interesting one compared to the real world job,it was based on the probability.So if you made the big win, it will give us more enjoyment,this feel like we had win over the algorithm of the gambling site.This was the reason by which the gambler get addicted to the gambling site.The gambling site enjoyment was never fulfilled by the real world happiness.As you said if we make thd family meet and make some good food means,it may give us some joy.But this never equal to the entertainment get from the gambling site.If the gambler was like you,their won't be any problem in the gambler life.Many gambler will use thd important money which even saved for the future business in the gambling site.So if they loss that,it totally leads to big issue for the gambler.

I've been itching to blow off some steam at the slots this Christmas. But I figured it's smarter to keep that budget on lock and put my time into the people I care about instead. Cause those moments with your fam and friends stick with ya a whole lot longer than some jackpot high ever could.
I get that people like placing wagers for fun around the holidays. That's alright, just be wise and decide how much you're willing to spend beforehand. Then stick to it.

The majority of those who chose no, that they are not gambling this holiday period are eventually going to gamble at the end of the day because many of them are going to have a long period pf free time and at that will want to ease out the time gambling and since this period we are going to be around friends and family who we have similar activities with we may endure in games but if not gambling anyways.

But those who are just going to take time off to rest will definitely gamble more this period and at the only way to avoid that is to schedule your timing and not spend too much time on anything that is in included in your timetable for this period if not so, you will always fall back to gambling and even spending more time on it while you may not even notice that at some point.

I think it can be read as a repeated story but I don't use funds from my formal income, obviously I started with some of that but the idea is to do it to have a bankroll, which essentially depends on your gaming income.
Therefore, OP's thinking does have judgment of a recreational player, since it gives the idea of wanting to burn money, so, it should be the opposite to have a consolidated bankroll that you managed well all year and make a withdrawal to give you a gift

I keep seeing this comment about people who gamble for fun. Of course I know people gamble for fun, but if I’d be honest, I haven’t never met anyone who gambles for fun.
What's wrong by gambling for fun? It is okay if you assume gambling is for earning money but you can't blame people who gamble for fun. 
Each person gambles with his own purpose, we can't expect all people to have the same ways in gambling.
Anyway, we are playing gambling in online sites. Many people don't show their gambling activities. So how you can conclude that no gamblers who gamble for fun? Even if you didn't meet someone who gamble for fun, it doesn't mean no one gamble for fun.
I’m saying it so we can see that the average (even more than the average) gambler gambles for money. The percent of those who gamble for money is so much that it is possible to neglect those who gamble for fun when discussing or writing about it.
We can't deny that we also have the purpose to earn money from gambling. But how percentage the gamblers who have the main purpose for money, is something difficult to know. It is not easy to get the data for online gamblers, especially for the main purpose of them in gambling. However, I think we mostly gamble for both entertainment and money. Just assume most people do the same way since it is very reasonable!I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with it, neither did I say that people don’t gamble for fun. All I said was that I keep hearing (and I believe) that people gamble for fun, but for a fact, I haven’t seen anyone (in person) who actually gambles for fun. So technically I’m saying that the percentage is little to nothing compared to people who gamble to make money.
Now that we are on a holiday season then it wont really be that bad that you should really be that less spending with your gambling activity and it would really be just that better that you should
be that spending up some money into your loved ones on buying up some presents and things which they do really like. There are really just those people who dont mind that much about their family or loved ones.
Actually it would really be varying on a certain person because not all would really be having those kind of considerations.

I've got my holiday affairs in order now and I would not be in the negative even if I go a little more on gambling this week and the next, so I'm definitely filling up the bankroll with a little more moolah than usual and splurge it on gambling before the year ends. I got few people to celebrate it with besides family anyway so I'm expecting myself to remain inside the house until the end of the year, and since I don't got any other things to take care of at this point I'm pretty much just gonna take this time to relax and unwind, which wouldn't be wise nowadays cause from where I live, everyone's so busy and frantic to make it to christmas with gifts and all that so there's more traffic and more people inside malls. I'd rather stay home than be like them and inconvenience myself.
To some though since it's not like everyone's got enough money to splurge they may spend less on gambling this year, some just doesn't see the point in wasting even more money on one of the most expensive holidays and that's okay too I guess. It's all about making sure that you don't go over what you can't afford anyway.

Not only I am not spending money more or less on the casino but I only use the money wagered from before to enjoy the bonuses the casino gives during this holiday time and by playing only slot machines with minimum bet to enjoy myself some good slot sessions.I am betting most on sport betting since it is the holiday season and we would not have that many games to bet so I am switching my focus to NBA as I usually play soccer bets,I only play over bets there and I consider that type of bet as a lottery,you either hit or don't hit but there is not much analysis involved there.
Bottom line,no this holiday season I don't spend any money at all at the casinos,only use the bonuses.
