I’m actually surprised that the majority won’t be spending more money in casino because it is common that people start looking and deriving means to get Christmas money. Just like most people gamble because they have a financial problem they want to settle, some would do it more because they have a place they would have love to spend some time this Christmas and need to make the money from somewhere (and they always want the money fast too, haha).
Not every gambler gambles only for financial reasons but some gamblers only gamble for entertainment. Just as we play cricket, football, badminton and other sports for entertainment, there are people who gamble for entertainment. Gambling is difficult for those who have financial weakness because managing money for gambling is not an easy task when having financial weakness. Not everyone gambles at this time of December, rather those who are already involved in gambling prefer to gamble a little more but those who are not involved in gambling may spend the extra money on other activities. Whether a person gambles or does something else when they get extra money is entirely a personal decision, but we can only assume that when gamblers get extra money, they spend a portion of that money on gambling.

Yes, not every gambler is in it for the financial return, I learnt that. But the majority of gambling, the actually majority are in it for the financial gain. They want to either solve an existing financial problem or they want to solve a coming financial problem. So, this isn’t a fact and to calculate as it doesn’t affect the calculation since most of the gamblers want the money.

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 have my usual salary therefore, nothing will be changed and some part of it were allocated to my usual gambling. My holiday bonus is also budgeted already and it's not that all of those money will just be spent only for gifts purposes. In the first place, I'm not a rich person to buy several gifts to all my loved ones and it's not mandatory to share my bonus with several people. Smiley

Just enjoy our hard-earned holiday bonus. If we want to put some on gambling, it's just fine as it's not that we always do it regularly.

I will stick to my monthly budget, I would neither increase nor decrease the fund allocation for gambling.  Even though the holiday season brings more expenses, there are also some additional sources of income that can offset that increase in expenses. So I am staying with my usual bankroll fund allocation.

I’m actually surprised that the majority won’t be spending more money in casino because it is common that people start looking and deriving means to get Christmas money. Just like most people gamble because they have a financial problem they want to settle, some would do it more because they have a place they would have love to spend some time this Christmas and need to make the money from somewhere (and they always want the money fast too, haha).

It's because the Christmas bonus has nothing to do with everyone's gambling habit.

Well, some gamblers take advantage of extra money to have more gambling engagement.  Christmas bonus means money and those who like gambling that much find it as an opportunity to have extra activity in their favorite gambling games.

I'm sure for most gamblers here, regardless if they have a Christmas or Holiday bonus, their gambling activity won't be changed and maybe they will even add more budget to their gambling session. The best part is, no pressure at all, and the gambling activity will just be relaxed because of the improved bankroll.

True that, I also think that many players here have a fixed amount for their gambling session and is always responsible when engaging in gambling activities.

But with that improved bankroll, as always, everyone should take care of it properly and don't make an attempt to always do a risky bet.

Just like the typical days, there's no season to me whether I'll add more money to get spent or I'll just use whatever I want.

That's how it goes with the funds that I have, the only thing that I want to do is to spend money that I afford to lose. So that I'll have no problems with it whenever I get on it on gambling.

And as for holiday seasons, it's true that there are bonuses and such but it doesn't matter to me as they're like just the same thing for the entire year.
Yes, I agree with you. Playing gambling is only about spending the money we can afford. Apart from that, we don't need to use more money. It's not because it's a holiday that it makes us spend more money, it's not like that because it means we will spend money beyond what we can afford.
If you afford to have that much then that means that it's up to you if you're going to add more this holiday season. That is your money and you can do anything with that. But make sure that you are aware of budgeting and you still have some money left for other things.

And regarding the bonuses we receive, the bonus money is better used to buy gifts for family members or save for our needs in the future. That would be better because we make preparations for our lives in the future rather than just using it for gambling, especially since we already have a budget for gambling that we can afford.
Well, it's up to you.

Whether you use it for gifts, savings, investments, gambling or anything. It's your decision and we can dictate people who have received their bonuses but I agree to you that they're good if spent wisely like giving it to your family members if ever you're not in a financial crisis.

Let love lead
This period of the year  calls for proper planning because there's a lot of expenses already  piled up and waiting to be taken  care of. For me, all my excess funds must be put to proper budgeting bearing in mind that January is just around the corner and from my previous experience, that month its a nightmare if not properly planned for. House rents are renewed, school fees are paid, a lot of spending are made so one got to be very more than careful how funds are used this period. In my own plan, I cut down my gambling budget from 7% to 3% to minimize funds wastage this period and accommodate all necessities. We continue normal mode next year February.

But lately I see more people who gamble with the intention and purpose of improving their finances or the intention of getting some benefits through winning rather than just looking for fun and entertainment. Lack of financial strength obviously makes it difficult for someone to put money into gambling but on the other hand it is not uncommon for some poor people to force themselves to put money into gambling even though it is not big because their main focus is on multiplying and not for entertainment.

Basically, it is only people or some people who choose to allocate their intentions to gambling activities in this holiday season, and most of them are people who know gambling or have been involved in this activity for a long time. Of course, everyone has their own choices in terms of choosing a place to enjoy the holiday season, on the other hand, I am sure that someone who knows gambling, especially those who are active in gambling, will prefer to put their intentions on gambling when the holiday season has arrived rather than choosing to enjoy it with a vacation with family to several tourist attractions for example.

Poor people see gambling as a rope that will pull them out of the bottom of the well, but in reality it is not a strong rope, but only a thin straw. If it breaks, the player will fall much below the bottom from which it will be very, very difficult to get out. Gambling establishments make very good money from such players, because they have built castles in the air for themselves.

Often, players can sacrifice even this wonderful and magical time of the Christmas holidays. It is best to give up gambling at this time or take part in Christmas promotions, but we need to act carefully and always be on guard, because our deposit can melt in a moment.

it makes more sense to buy something that is more useful for the family and can feel pleasure together without having to be selfish in feeling pleasure yourself.
I mean if a gambler gets a bonus and uses the bonus to gamble on the grounds that holidays only come once a year but in the end he will only feel the sensation of pleasure alone because he is the only one gambling while the family doesn't know about this and the family also needs fun together. even though gambling sometimes brings good luck, this effort is not very good because if you use a larger budget, if you are not lucky, it will trigger high emotions and even the family can become an outlet for their emotions because they lose all the money.

and the best way is just as you said, it's better to use the bonus money to buy something that the family can enjoy together and actually the family doesn't need a lot of money to be happy but being able to gather together during the holidays is like happiness that doesn't need to be paid for with money. so that the bonus money you get can be saved for future savings or for your child's future.

but I still think for those who live alone without a family and get a bonus from their work, they will definitely use the money to gamble, spending all the money for the happiness of not having a family and it seems like it's not happiness that they get but just an outlet for the sadness of not having a family.
If they can use the bonus money well and only to make their loved ones happy, that will be a good thing because they don't use the money for gambling but prefer to use the money for their family. Indeed, getting this bonus can be a moment to buy the things they want, but they have to remember that which is more important in their life. And they should think about their families rather than gambling because they can still gamble with or without the bonus money. If they use it to increase their capital in gambling, perhaps they will experience great disappointment because they will experience loss, which could cause them to lose all their money.

Saving the bonus money is also one solution that they can use to avoid wasting money on buying things that are not really needed. They will think twice or more if they want to use their money because they remember that in the future, they may need more money to meet their daily needs. They can use the money to have fun by hanging out together and spending time together.

If they live alone, they can invite their neighbors to accompany them when they are alone. There are definitely many people who want to do it, especially if that person is already famous for their kindness. But if he only thinks about gambling, especially after getting his bonus money, he will miss the opportunity to be with his family.

Well there are games that can change someone's life thru gambling and that is winning the lottery. But we all know that the chances are very small on that one. And I do agree about the mindset of the poor, I think they are the first one to really get themselves into gambling and risk their small money because they are looking to multiple it ten folds.

Basically, it is only people or some people who choose to allocate their intentions to gambling activities in this holiday season, and most of them are people who know gambling or have been involved in this activity for a long time.

Everyone could be different though, I'm seeing some gamblers who wanted to make Christmas a very happy holidays for their family so they might stay away from gambling this December or just minimized their activity, and that is right attitude. But who knows, as the saying goes, gamblers will be gamblers, so even if it is holiday, they could be thinking or like a excuse to play and take a chance to make more money.

Only a fool would prioritize gambling over their family and their joy no matter what the occasion is, if you are getting a bonus and you are not a wealthy person who has a lot of money or savings, you should spend the money to make the holiday season for enjoyable for your family and cherish the moments that you get to spend with them. I believe spending more time and money on gambling on such an occasion is nothing less than wasting both useful resources.

So, it's never a yes from me when it comes to using bonus pay or extra money on gambling but I would spend that to make our holidays memorable, I'll get a lot of time and money for gambling in the future, and even if I don't, it's not a necessity because I consider gambling a past time activity.

I personally spend less money on casino because we all know we need to spend more to celebrate the holiday season, we get more money from the company/boss where we work, but it still not enough.

I also don't see many casinos are offering bonuses for holiday season, I only noticed few of them. Not really sure, but I just feel it's quite different from the last holiday season.
Yes, holiday season is really just that once a year kind of happening or event on which it is really just that right that you should be spending up some time with your family.
If you do spend up some money with gambling or somewhat you are a huge spendor then it wont really be that a bad thing that you would be needing to spend up money with your own family.
Nothing beats out on seeing them smile or being happy on the gifts that you are giving. You cant really just that be able to ignore out those kind of request specially if you are really that a father
on whose really trying our very best on giving the best thing for our own family. Some might be mindful and some arent. So it would be that totally depending on this situation
since not all would really be thinking up on this way.

Stop wasting your time in casinos, the earlier you move out the better, don't feel comfortable, don't drink, its part of the plan, I have walked into a casino where they serve free drinks, damn, too many people just love free things, not knowing that its a way of making them sit their asses down on the chair for countless hours and go home with nothing.

I don't like using the casino, its too comfy and that's dangerous, so I prefer online gambling, I don't have to focus on how many hours I am about to spend but the money I am willing to lose at the moment, this is easier for me than anything else.

If you are still a fan of offline casino then you have to go with the timing or the exact amount you are ready to lose, don't walk into a casino thinking that you will risk only $20 dollars and you go in with $200, the chances of spending $190 on gambling is possible, give no room to things like this, be disciplined.
Lets face it: gambling is always a risk, whether you do it online or off. You're right - casinos with free drinks and cozy chairs are just tricks to get people to spend more money and time. And, gambling online is not much better. Even if you cant see the time, the chance of losing money stays the same.

Think about this story: Someone I know thought that gambling online was safer and better regulated. Still, he ended up in water that was deeper. Why? "Just one more bet" is a strong temptation, whether you're gambling online or off.

Setting a time or money cap is a very important discipline that you preach. Self-control is more important than the tool. The chance is the same whether you click a mouse or pull a lever. The house always has the upper hand, even if the computer makes you feel like you have power. Stay focused and follow the rules.

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.


 

For me, I don't even plan on gambling this Holiday, these few weeks has been pretty bad for me with gambling, and I've just decided to take a break at least for now, maybe I can start again next year. I've went as far as deleting all my casinos apps, I've lost more than enough these few weeks and it's still going on, so to prevent myself from loosing more money, I feel taking a break would be best, besides I've got so much to do this Holiday in preparation for next year and I can't afford to loose more money to the casino.

I won't be spending more, I don't see any reason to chance my budget all because It's the Christmas time, For other individual thinking if increasing their gambling budget, they should know that they're increasing the amount of money they can also lose and during this time itllybe good you save money instead of losing money. Save the extra binusyyou get and invest into something that'll give you income without been af risk of losing your capital, invest in Bitcoin.

If you're not thinking of making some profits from gambling then you can increase your capital and try gambling with some friends to celebrate the holidays but if you're among those individuals depending on gambling for income then don't increase your capital or the excitement that you have more capital to wager will make you not to be disciplined with the amount you're using to place the bet and you might lose everything and go broke by the start of the new year.

I'm surprise that only few have voted on the poll on, "spending less" this holiday.

Come on guys! This is a holiday season, we are suppose to have more fun, and as a gambler, we cannot forget betting more so we will entertain more. I mean, more bets, more fun, that should be our motto.

BTW, we can replace the word "spending"  to "gambling", as using spending doesn't imply we have a chance of doubling our money.

Because you may planned to hold for the next year expenses or may hold for the new year expenses itself.This is year end and the Christmas holiday,So the gamblers should ready to spend the time in the gambling site to have fun and enjoyment.The gamblers who ready to spend more will get more fun using the same gambling site.

Next year's income will take care of next year's expenses. Come one, Christmas comes once in a month only, that means you have 11 months to save for the season. It's not a good excuse about saving as Christmas is all about spending, and we spend to have fun, to enjoy with out love ones. But this gambling alone, is just for my sole satisfaction, but I also have something for everything.

IMO, it's not a happy season to spend more only on gambling, but well, it depends on you and your family preferences. Your kids might want to go for gaming, a picnic, or something more intriguing, and you can only spend more on gambling when you actually have enough morning money to spend on the needs that matter more. I have some budgets that are filled and more important bills to settle; gambling has only a small budget, and family got some more percentage, so also the next-year budget has been put in place.
Yes, not everyone would really be happy on having that new shoes,gadgets, clothes or what but most of the time we do really love on having these materials on which it is really that a common request. If you do have a family which is something like this then it would really be that better or wise that you should be skipping on spending with gambling and would really be just be buying into those things as presents with this holiday season.
We do know that we could really be only have that once a year kind of event or season on which it isnt really that bad that we would be allocating something for those kind of things.
Dont really make yourself that too tight when it comes to spending because if you do gamble out money, then those huge losses wont really be affecting you.  Grin

If you do have that kind of family on which do really loves to travel or would really be liking to go on doing some activities on this festive season then it wont really be that bad
on considering on trying out to mingle with them and make it really happen. Specially if you are already that a dad or father then these kind of bondings
do really counts.
