Topic: Do you limit your gambling time? - page 18. (Read 5435 times)

It’s quite hard to limit gambling if were not busy, there were times I opted not to play but then I still play since there were some free time. So as much as possible I write activities to do to focus myself in other things other than gambling, I somestime put big mark of check whenever I finish a task to keep me stay away in gambling especially if I have other things to do, others do schedule their gambling but it doesnt work well with me especially if Im winning.

If you are focusing with such event it's more easy and not a time consuming for you, you can still enjoy your gambling even on your busy days.

Picking the game and the kind of events that you wanted to bet won't take you long, afterwards you can just
simply leave it and wait for the outcome.

And yes, coming from one of the active sports bettor the always there even sometimes you really encounter
unlikely results, but that's it, shit happened you can't avoid that.

Dice is really a time consuming, but sports betting does not demand a lot of time, so just suit your current schedule, you don't have to loss the fun in gambling even if you are already busy now.  ... coming from sports bettor.

I'm limiting myself very much lately both because I am working like a maniac and also since I'm focusing only on sport; I'm basically betting only on the major European leagues. I miss playing dice a lot but I don't have time to concentrate on that at the moment,

Easily said than done (the last part)

As long as you're playing gambling, with no time limit but has a limit on the amount of money you can afford to lose, there's still a possibility that you could go beyond your budget limit because sometimes your ego and pride dictates you to do so, especially if your excitement on winning goes far making you believe you could actually defeat the house, but you can't.

And the unpredicted situations comes next, mostly gambling addiction and you'd go berserk just to get what you've lost in gambling.

No, in fact not only addicted gambler who has this issue. Even a newbie gambler or someone who started to use gambling as a way to earn money can be down into this issue.


Friends is friends, no matter what they loves (even drugs), they are still your friend. If you are a good friend, you wont avoid them just because they loves gambling. Bad influence? You are responsible for yourself, even if you lives in a place where 99% people loves gambling, you wont be affected. It is even better if you can advise your friends to have more control in gambling instead of avoiding them. That's what is called by good friends.

Because the border between entertainment and addiction in gambling is really thin so time is a useful deterrent for preventing reaching the addiction part. The quote above is a different one since he/she doesn't use real money compared to other people.

Good attitude.
Well Only addicted gambler has this issue i believe .
And funds of course.
But try to avoid friends that loves to gambler so there is no bad influence in the future.
Even your family?

Budget is very important as well as following your budget even though it is quite hard if there are unexpected expenses. So yes, we allocate budget in gambling but for me it is the least in my priority. If after I budget there is no budget left for gambling then it is fine. No gambling for this week.

Debt? I am not a fan of debt not only in gambling but in life. I am afraid that I may not pay for it so as much as possible I avoid of having debt. If I have no money but I want to play, then my only choice is not to play and wait for the time that I have money to be used in gambling.

Time allocation in everything that I am going to do everyday is important because too much and uncontrollable things are not good. For me, it is only discipline that we we need to make sure we can follow the allocated time. Like in budget, gambling is the least in my priority. If I am too much busy then I need to set aside this thing.

Most of the time yes I only gamble with my friends and relatives. It also becomes our bonding. I am not the type of person that go to casino just to gamble with others. I am fine with the usual people I play with and those are my friends and relatives. Well if they introduced someone new who wants to play then it is OK since it is the people I trust who introduced him/her.

No one controls me when I gamble because I know how to control myself.

Well, they are taking into account the past records, and basing off the possibilities of what they could based on those. It isn't necessarily wrong, but I think it was a misplaced notion, especially in gambling where all chances are reset to zero when a new game starts. Still, with that, they aren't able to find anything to base their bets upon, and betting solely based on luck at times isn't really what they want, so they instead base it on past numbers that showed up. It is still a valid statistic, just that it's in no way proof that the same number would pop up. They probably just use it solely for increasing their confidence levels with regards to their bet.

1. Spending if i do have some extra with my current earnings
2. I dont have any debts not even in my current finance situation.I dont like to be boggled with that kind of problem.
3. Random. If i do have time then most probably i would play
4. Depends because there are sometimes that friends do really need to hang out
5. No, they dont like to touch up others business.

Yes.
There is already a fixed budget weekly.
Never push winning more than the budget.

Of course.
I never try to get a loan or debt for gambling.
Gambling isn't a crucial thing or an urgent need, so why should get a loan?

I have no specific time or schedule for gambling.
I just gamble when I have free time and I am in a good mood.
Mostly, I gamble on the weekend, which is when I have spare time.

I am like you gambling for fun, but maybe you have good self-control and also you have a lot of free time. Meanwhile, I am different from you,
if the time to play gambling is not limited, maybe I can play all day and even every day. In my opinion, gambling is almost the same as playing
games on Play Station or Xbox. But gambling mostly involves money, so it's much more interesting for me. Same thing with playing games on
Play Station or Xbox, if it is not limited then we will lose track of time. And it will make me addicted, so in my opinion it is better to limit the time
we play gambling. So in order to prevent us from becoming addicted.

Using play money can really make you feel the unlimited joy that a casino can give to you. You're really doing it for fun and you can do it as much time as you have.
That's the true joy that you can do when you go to the casinos that has this type of feature and that makes you have unlimited bets. But for real betting, there's really the limit, it's either with your money or your time.

Well, I think for me the first question is too much --I don't have a weekly budget but perhaps I can sustain if you would say a monthly budget. Perhaps before I can do that thing but now, we are in crisis, and every one of us seeking financial freedom.
The second one is the most important to avoid not being involved, don't even have a debt just for gambling, you are not a true gambler in that way but instead, you are the most greedy person that I have met.
For the next one --allocate time is very important when you gamble in an offline casino together with your friends and sometimes your relatives but if that is online, that is not necessary, you can gamble alone and the last one my answer is ^[NO], you can control yourself instead.

I don't view gambling as a way to earn money, I highly doubt that there are people making money from this. I believe that an average of 95% of us will end up losing money, while only the 5% at most will end up making a decent profit. Gambling is made in a way that we are doomed to lose, not because the games are rigged whatsoever, but because we are humans and will end up getting emotional or greedy.

Thus, I try to limit myself into putting only a little money on it, while not spend so much time that it consumes me. A few minutes ago I lost a bet, not much to be honest but was enough to make me stop for the day. Might try again tomorrow.

How can I or anybody limit their gambling time? Gambling is for fun and entertainment cannot have boundaries and fun is always unlimited, so instead of stopping myself, I play more and more to enjoy the games and feel good. Although, I do not play with real money most of the times and use the 'play for fun' to just play those games for some peace of mind and I never limit my time for that.

How can people win the lottery? Just calculate the odds of a certain event. What is the probability for red coming up 5 times in a row? Leaving aside the zero, it is roughly 0.5 to the power of 5, which is a little more than 3%. In three out of 100 instances red comes up 5 times in a row. If you play some system that relies on black showing up at some point in time, just have in the back of your mind that it is very possible red shows up 10 times in a row. It is these streaks that can make you a lot of money, but it is also these streaks that can make you go broke if you gamble using a strategy based on an expectation fallacy.

The last part is a good factor, you can exceed with numbers of hours but never with the amount to stake.

It's a good and responsible practice to have limitations for your gambling activities, the amount of bankroll if you are capable of contorl over, it means that you are still in good condition, most of those who can't manage ended up being addicted and the worse thing is they loses all the money that they've save.

- It's very important to not go over your limit, if you often go to your limit, then it means you are not in control of what you are doing
- Not even crossed my mind it's too risky and too dangerous, only compulsive gambler will do such a thing
- You can exceed the number of hours but never the amount of money you allocated, sometimes you are winning and you want the excitement to extent.
