yes i do, sometimes when i go to work i'm late because of gambling.
I have never gamble during my education because gambling is not good in my community and the elders will never let you to gamble. Therefore I have never wasted my money, time and schooling. In this day I gamble every little because I think that I should not waste my hard earn money in gambling because I am not fond of becoming rich in short time. I believe in hard work and struggle to become rich.
This should be the spirit towards being successful and getting rich. Most of the people who gamble wants to get it through a shortcut way to become rich, unfortunately majority of gamblers don't succeed and lose their money and time both in doing so. Students who gets involved in gambling I think they can't live a normal students life. For students it will be just like killing your career to become a gambler.
Most people do not really understand that there are no shortcuts to becoming rich, things are never easy, most of the people that are rich are not because they inherited money or their family was rich they created their fortune by working hard and being smarter than other people.
Only on small percentage for those people who are really rich because they do inherit it but on most cases people do become rich because of such work same as you said there are no shortcuts on life specially on becoming rich.Most people are hurrying up on becoming one and doing things already just like gambling.Yes it can give the possibilities but chances are really very very slim which if you do it desperately instead of becoming rich you would end up on breaking your own life. Dont compromise your priorities for the sake of gambling,its not really worth of.

yes that losing time from my schooling due to gambling happened to me, and that happened because i am enjoying gamble and did not know already the time because of enjoyment and that time is i am winning so i did not expect that it is already late hour for my schooling. gamble is so addictive and risky.

Oh its never happen to me.
I keep my responsiblity be done before doing gambling.
I would never let my work be affected because of gambling.
Because gambling for me is just for fun, so I seperate it fro my real world.
Because I dont want to come to the point, that I already neglected my duty in my noble profession.

Oh god, are you serious? How can this happen to you? I mean, why are you so addicted to do it? If i gamble, i do it at night, i would never be late for work just because i wanted to play a dice.

I am just being realistic, this is just what a normal person would do..

You can not leave your responsabilities only because you wanted to have fun and make a little profit from a bet (that you probably lost too)

You need to stop it.

Yes, if we cannot stop gambling then maybe we will be responsible enough to avoid conflict of the things that should need to be priorities like schooling or even in work. Time management is very important if we wanna do multi tasking activity, so schooling or time of work must be first given priority than that of gambling or its better to avoid that if you think you cannot control your gambling habit.

Well addiction is the cause for sure. Why would anyone want to gamble so much to the point that you are already getting late for important stuff. Gambling should be a past time and nothing more, it is not something that should rule your world. No one should be so in to it that you lose time for anything else. That is clear signs of an addiction. If anyone is in this situation, the first thing you should do is admit you have an addiction, and then get help.

Only addicts are late from everything in their lives because they give gambling more importance than anything else and this makes them unaware about the responsibilities they have upon them as a member of one family. Due to this gambling, gamblers also become late from every place they are going to because they stop to play only one game at gambling spot but this one game changes into three or four.

Yes, most addicts are not time concious and they can easily loose their time at work or at whatever event and run to gamble because it takes a greater part of their lives and they can not live without. It's not limited to addicts alone but most gamblers tend to sneak in and out of work to gamble also.
And the problem is that it is difficult to tell if a person is addicted to gambling from the outside, you can tell someone is addicted to alcohol just by the smell of alcohol always lingering in that person all the time and by being drunk all the time but an addicted gambler looks completely normal and does not show any external signs of addiction.

During my colleges days i often gamble with my friends and sometimes i would skip class just to gamble with them, it took a toll on me when i didnt get enough grades on a class which a often skip, since that day i stop gambling and finish college then find a work and gamble once a month.

It's great you saw it quite early and quit to pursue your studies more seriously because many get entangled between studies and gambling and  the weak ones often give up their studies to gamble for money and are often plunged into addiction.
You just live in the wrong environment, gambling never be a good habit for those people who didn't earn money yet by themselves, they tend to do it irresponsibly. No wonder they do crazy things that doesn't makes any sense like skipping something important for the sake of gambling. You should looking for a real help when it's happened.

That's really bad to be honest..
I only sometimes, gamble at school, on my phone xD
What gambling game you are gambling? I do gamble at school before when I don't have classes and I haven't tried it out that I miss a class or lost time in work or school just because of gambling. It still depends on the gambler on how he'll manage his gambling addiction. If it's already too much and coming to the point that you are losing your time for work or school due to it, that's something that needs emotional medication.
I don’t know about any country on this globe in which playing gambling is entertained. However, it is strictly banned for the students as it becomes an addiction very soon.

Also, I think you are lying that you haven’t missed your class or any other important activity due to gambling because if this is true, then answer me one thing that what you do when your match lasts long than you have expected. I don’t think you have guts to leave game.

Yes I think it was back when I was in Second Year High School I was so addicted in gambling that almost everyday I would skip the class and just gamble my money,
I would set a match for me and my classmates to play for example Dota 1 we would play it and who ever wins would win the money.

Yes, before when l used to be a gambler l used to absent on my work because of gambling, we extend 24hours that's why I didn't go for work already. Not just one time but often so I've got fired. It's really memorable to me being a gambler. No time to anything just to gamble.

This is a bad sign, most of the time you can tell that a person is addicted to gambling when their gambling begins to affect their everyday lives, if you cannot function normally due to gambling it is time to think about what you are doing and why, your gambling cannot be more important than your job or family.

No i did not because i am not really addicted into gambling. Gambling is just a way for me to relax from my daily routine as a mother of 3. In online gambling, i do it usually at night when i put all my kids to sleep already and while waiting for my husband to come home from work.

Well you are a responsible mother, wife and as a gambler because you can control your time, you can control when to play because the first on your list is your kids and your husband and later is the gambling , Some of the people or gambler they will forget their family or kids just to play gambling games. In my side im not really into gambling but i do play everytime because i just want to entertain my self but if i do have a hectic schedule i do not insert gambling in my busy schedule.
usually people who can control the time to gamble they can always take advantage of every game to be converted as a victory.
I'm sure he has a lot of responsibility and he will not be wasting his money to lose in gambling
If gambling is done for the purpose of entertainment then we should not worry of losing because we spend less but we get the entertainment we are looking. This is a very unique way of having fun because you need to spend in order to play, but we should always remember that we will have to focus on our priority in life especially our job as that generates money for us, the moment we lose control we should sacrifice gambling and leave it for good.

You need not worry? As long as you limit the money and time you have and discipline then you need not worry. But if you can not be disciplined then gambling for anything will be a problem. Gambling to skip work and school is an example of undisciplined gambling. Gambling is not a top priority, gambling should not be a top priority.

Yes l experience it already when l used to be an addict gambler before in my life. Because of gambling l don't even have time for my kids to prepare their needs.All lm thinking is all about how to gonna win the game because l always lose often in gambling until l've so many debts that's why all in my mind is to go to gambling site just to win the game for.I really experienced my children hates me because l don't have time already for them.Its really a disgusting life l have that time, But thank God lm free now. I'm out of gambling.

Well it's great you are out of addiction but i don't think everyone that looses time at school or work to gamble is an addict but then since we all live in different time zones and we mostly play online these days one is like to loose sleep or any time whatever it might be for to gamble at the designated time of the game. I am speaking in respect of sports betting.
No I have not reached such a level of addiction yet and I think that this is also another way of wasting your time and time is money we all know that thing very clearly.

As I am a student my first priority is to pay full attention to my studies and then if I get some time out of my busy schedule as on the weekend or so, I prefer to play the poker or dice game in the nearby casinos and betting money is also limited therefore I am yet safe from losses and depression.
That is amazing if you really do this, and it would be highly appreciated it you really implement this strategy of yours. You don’t need to be indicted with this gambling in your entire life. You must draw yourself away from it although your friends are into this. This is harmful and you will be in highly if you try this even once. Focus on your studies and make your future bright for you.
