Wagering few cents out of a small amount of money would take a gambler more than 5 hours duration in a gambling session. It all depends on the gambler to have the energy to stay on screen and enjoy his game. Remember he won't lose out on all his wagers or predictions. Hence his winnings can be added to the bank roll. The strategy would be stopping once 5 hours has exhausted. If the person does this every day, it's quite a long time, but if he possesses strong discipline, he won't get addicted. The other good side of it, is that the gambler needs to take some break at some point. His brain would begin to reset to normal, if it was thinking abstractly and going towards addiction. Since it has to do with mental disorder, many factors affect a gambler to get addicted which has less to do with how consistently he gambles. Anxiety, real life challenges, can lead a gambler to get addicted.
Especially when the problem or challenge is distracting him mentally, such that he gambles without any ethic or self-control. If he wagers all his money in the process, faster than he should have done in his right mental state, at some point he'd get sad over it and get depressed in essence. From the little experiences available to me, mental disorder doesn't have round the clock. Sometimes the victim gets to realize himself for some minutes. During those periods he begin to question he actions, and in the process of trying to recover the brain issues starts again. Therefore, you may hear them say no to gambling, but in the next hour you'll find the person gambling again. These things may not have been caused the moment they began to gamble every day. But, at the very few weeks they started gambling. It could be the real-life problem is the primary reason they started gambling.
In my opinion, the time you mentioned is too long, even if they bet with a small amount of money, it doesn't guarantee they can last that long, because everything can change from one moment to another, and of course the most important thing is the negative moments in gambling, because it is impossible for us to gamble that positive moments will occur more often. and in my opinion, if people are disciplined about gambling, they will not gamble for that long, I think they will only spend 1/2 an hour. If it's 5 hours, in my opinion it's no longer discipline. but no one knows because everyone has their own choices.
I think that if they respond wrongly to gambling, it can have an impact on their own health and mental health. because gambling can also affect a person's thinking and it can also trigger an impact on their mental state which could be a big problem. and with this of course I think they will face the destruction of their lives. and it can also spread to their family, so I think that if they gamble every day, it will only ruin their lives.
Gambling for that amount of time, helps the person to get filled with the transient satisfaction of gambling for the moment. And may not get the urge to gamble again till the next day or some other times. Gambling for 2 hours may not be enough for most gamblers. Splitting times may work; 2 hours morning and evening. One needs to gamble to the level he wants so that he wouldn't get constant urge to gamble. That's why gambling 5 hours works just fine. However, it sounds a long hour of gambling. But while gambling one wouldn't realize how much time has crept by. If one has those hours to spare, they can engage in gambling without falling victim of addiction. It's crucial that the gambler also holds his emotions while gambling for a long period. Like I said, they'll definitely be a win during these periods of gambling, and it could be added to bank roll. Such that it wouldn't run dry. However, it's a personal recommendation.
Moreover, if one thinks he won't make it out safely of 5 hours of gambling, he can do with the time he's comfortable gambling. What matters is the discipline to maintain the wagering speed and amount. Gambling for a long time shows some discipline more than gambling for few minutes, wagering all the money, or going all in. I was one time an All-in gambling victim. It costs more money than gambling for a long time. And increases the impulses or urge to gamble again, as the player expects a huge win out of going all in. You'd then understand that it's not about the time spent, but the amount of money wagered at a go within seconds. Also, the urge to gamble again, immediately after losing it all. The long-time gambler who spends 5 hours would still be enjoying his game while the short time gambler with lesser discipline would be struggling with winning big after losing all his funds at a go.
