This is very common, once people make the realization of how much money they have lost over the years they have a desire to get it back

There are also other gamblers that whenever they calculate the amount of money they've dedicated and lost on it, they'll feel bad and regretting.

As the usual goes, we're always like that but we also happen to compute how much we've won and that making us proud.

Which is why you always keep track of how much money you have spent over the years this way whenever you feel uncomfortable about the money you have bet you can stop for some time until you accept your losses, what you say is completely true and it is something very common among gamblers, they bet so much money over the years that when they begin to make the calculations they realize how much money they have lost and then when they realize this they try to get it back with terrible consequences for them and their families.

My gambling time got reduced drastically over the last year and thank God the Sportsbook exist! I can limit myself very well with sports while I really can't control my actions when I gamble on online platforms!
I can safely admit that betting on sports is a real pleasure even when I lose

Same here, I am gambling more on sports now and it doesn't consume a lot of my time than playing live games. With sports betting, you don't need to spend a lot of time if you will just limit your bet, you can put big bets using little time only, the crucial stage is only when analyzing what game and team you will bet on, after that, you are good to go to put your bet and you will just wait for the result.

Games like roulette, dice, blackjack, and even poker, this is time-consuming, it's only good for those who have a lot of time to burn.

I have a family, two jobs and no gambling addiction ... I think the answer is obvious Grin

In general, to some extent, I envy those who can afford to "break away" from the real world and spend time as they want (in gambling or in an ordinary entertaining game or just watching TV series).

What do you mean by the answer is obvious? If you have enough free time to come here to read and post messages about gambling topics, you have necessarily enough free time to gamble. How much time do you spend to gamble per week precisely? You could easily increase this amount of time by reading less threads and articles about gambling and practicing more.

I meant that my priorities are obvious (I guess I was wrong about the obvious). I can read and write at work during short breaks (or even during work, since my work is specific, in transport, etc.), but in order to play and have fun I must be completely free and be sure that nobody will distract me. This condition is quite rare for me.

dunfida

On the one hand, you are right, but on the other hand, when I have free time, I rather spend it on something like a startup (at the moment it is a YouTube channel) or think about what else I can do to succeed. These are the realities of impoverished countries. To live well one has to make great efforts. As long as I have strength, I try to spend it wisely.
And yes, it is very relaxing to sit and play dice at micro-stakes to test different strategies, but at the moment I cannot say that I would like to test any strategy, since all the known ones are quite clear to me)

TheGreatPython

In fact, two jobs are bad and you shouldn't be jealous of it. I have to work in two jobs (one regular, one something like my own business) just because in my country work at one job is not enough to live a normal life.

gambling is a trap for people who has greedy attitude and those who are desperate to want a faster increase in life.

Obviously, but we can't blame gambling for that as gambling exists for the purpose of entertainment, so as a gambler, we should be aware of the risk and in order to get away of the risk of getting addicted, then we follow the basic requirement which is to be responsible.

It sounds so simple but I know there are people who struggle doing it, but it's their fault, not gambling, and in the first place they should not gamble at all since they don't have the discipline.

I have noticed that once we've got a loss, in our mind always chasing and try to recover it, it's better to have a break and come back when you are ready again.

That's normal, our species is a possessive one so whenever something is lost to us, we few something somber or sad that we want to get it back, if you are feeling this it is a normal thing to happen, what your action towards it will be the difference maker.

but knowing what gambling is? we must always take care of our self control because if not then we are doomed.

~snip~
This is totally wrong, because I loss in between and the loss makes me spend rest of the day developing strategies to recover the loss. I've spent complete day on such process of trying to recover.

That's totally wrong because that's considered as chasing your loss which possible it will I guess wipe out all your money in just 1 day because of trying to recover it with different strategies. For me, I have a straight winning streak, I will continue gambling and separate my initial capital and gamble only with my profit, if that will lose, I will stop and come back in another day when there's no chasing attempt on my mind.

I am sure at some point you may turn as an example and people will start envy against you if you are ready to put efforts. I'm not seeing limiting your gambling is that much big task. I agree it is difficult for anyone in the beginning but when you are having strong willpower, it will slowly become a practice. Nothing will possible until you show interest. Honestly I am envy on you as you are having 2 jobs; somehow it is my dream still I am not yet achieved that.

Quote from: dunfida on May 02, 2021, 06:26:10 PM

Every person does need some time to relax and doesnt stress out yourself too much because it wont really be giving a good effect for you in long time.

That is reasonable. Anything beyond excess is good for nothing. Whether gambling is for entertainment or for money making, still we must have limit.

I limit my gambling time after the lockdown of COVID-19, during the lockdown I gamble most of the time to make myself relax as there was no physical job, but after the lockdown, I have to reduce the time I gamble to 1 hour every day and that is after the close of work.

It is not bad to gamble as long as you have money and time. I think you do not have a problem that you might ran out of money since during lockdown, it is hard to earn money. On the other hand the important thing is you have ways to ease boredom during lockdown because many people suffer from depression through it. But it is a good thing that you've make an adjustment on your gambling time because you prioritize your job. Gambling is like a drugs if you become attached to it but you can control yourself. I think you're mature enough to be able to determine what must be done first.

Iam super lucky in that I find I move on naturally, not sure I could handle getting caught up in something because I dont feel you'd be 100% stay true to any strategy of trying to profit or gain from your time spent gambling any particular game. Its also arguable I might move on too quickly from a game and not go long enough to get a proper streak but I have no limit except my patience and concentration in general. Obviously real life can just place limits of time available also and its best to just accept that as a natural limit also I think, it is a leisure past time primarily.

That's good with you to move on naturally. For me it is the scenario that decides the spending time. If I'm into lucky streak I keep on wagering at specific time interval. This is totally wrong, because I loss in between and the loss makes me spend rest of the day developing strategies to recover the loss. I've spent complete day on such process of trying to recover.

Why cant you?

Its impossible that you cant even just give yourself an hour for some relaxation and you've decide to go full time on dealing with priorities.
Every person does need some time to relax and doesnt stress out yourself too much because it wont really be giving a good effect for you in long time.

Limitation on everything is a must or recommended but doesnt mean that you wouldnt really touch it just because of those addiction probabilities.
You can play if you do can because playing gambling can still be possible in a very short span of time.

Wow. That's a great improvement from most of the time to 1 hour a day. It means there is no impossible if you willing to change. I believed gambling addiction is real. If you think you getting addicted in gambling, think to save yourself and remember your priorities. There is no one who can save and help our selves but us also us. If we let ourselves immerse in gambling, we are the one who will suffer from it.

Not all would really be having that kind of self control because it do matters on someones awareness and being mindful on the situation where they do picture out if is it time to stop or would tend to continue.

Since not all people are willing to stop when they are losing due to those common reasons like chasing losses or does want for more profits.Its good that you are fully aware with your own self

and towards your actions and not all does have that kind of self awareness and rather do go proceed even if they do know that it would really be harmful for them.

There's a time to make predictions, and a time to adjust your views based on reality.
Gambling is a high-stakes, high-stress pursuit. The failure to realize how closely your actions match your beliefs often leads to sudden and massive failures. And it's possible that, no matter how well-meaning or diligent they believe they are, some gamblers out there have destroyed their lives due to gambling addiction.

For many people, gambling can be both an exhilarating and addictive activity. For others, there is something very different about gambling: a compulsion that just won't stop. The natural impulse of people with compulsive gambling addiction is to keep playing even when they know they're about to lose, and even when they're about to go broke.
