That has an effect on me, because every long holiday and big day celebration I gather more with my extended family during the long holidays. And maybe I only have a little time to gamble and even then when I have free time and if I want to play it I will play it secretly, because I respect other families.
because this is an agreement and also a tradition, when gathering with extended family you have to focus on the extended family because this only happens once a year. So all my extended family really appreciated this, and it only happened a few days, after which it was free again.

It is the festive season, and it comes with a lot of expenses, both planned and unplanned. The planned expenses are usually higher than normal because marketers take advantage of the season and increase the prices of their commodities and you spend more that usually budget. The unplanned in this season is that you may have some visitors either family or friends and will have to spend some more money entertaining them. For people who have a strict budget for gambling, I would like to know if your budget for gambling has reduced, or if it remains the same?
I normally just charge my account once and then I keep playing with my winnings until they run out, as I never withdraw all the winnings.
Of course, sometimes I need to charge my account again as I ended up losing the stash, but when I do, I always charge the same amount regardless of the season or festivities.
Now if an unplanned event happens and I need to shorten my expenses, I opt for not recharging my account and waiting for better days

Nothing has changed for me as a result of the festival season, I already had my budget, and a certain amount of money is usually set aside for all my gambling activities so during this time when a lot of people complain about the increase in the price of the items being the reason why they don't gamble or stake high in their bet I don't listen to them because during this period I increase my staking power in all my gambling platform so that a single win will solve most of the financial needs that will be used for the purchase of gift items, traveling and sorting out some bills in the family.

In the Philippines, there is a thing called 13th-month pay, which is basically, a bonus for the festive season. That is what I am using to pay for the expenses this season. So, I can give gifts, set money for the expenses for the Christmas holiday, and buy something for myself as well without affecting my budget for gambling. I admit, I spend more than necessary during this season but luckily because of the bonus, I was able to spend without touching my allowance for usual expenses.

Im not a solid type of gambler who do really make out some compulsory budget for it thats why on this festive season then i dont really mind nor care much if i would able to play or not.Family first above all which this is the time that do only happens once a year and you do have the whole year which you could gamble which spending 1 day isnt really just
making a huge loss on your part if you do miss out 1 day gambling sessions.
As for expenses then its anticipated that commodities would really becomes high which is understandable and its not already new honestly.

There's no need to go on about this festive season. Not only gambling, but most of your monthly budgets must be less precise than before. This is the time of year when you buy gifts for loved ones, have a lot of visitors, and want to entertain them well while sharing good memories. You don't want to waste the moment, so you'll spend a lot of money on it. If gambling is not an addiction for you, you can skip this month and continue another time for this special season of love.

To be honest, i never intend to gamble this month as i can use the money instead to buy gifts for my loved ones and for the preparation of Christmas and New Year's eve. That is way more important than to gamble my money and just lose them in the long run. Hopefully by next month, i can save a little amount just for gambling alone. December 23, 2022, 05:31:07 PM
Luckily I’m still on a budget and didn’t get hyped by this season. It’s pretty normal to spend a lot of Money during this season and the only way to survive is to do budgeting and adjust properly. If you can’t afford to buy expensive things better not to forced yourself. Gambling is fun, this is why I’m doing my best to have a small budget for this, just to give pleasure for myself and have fun as well. Stay on a budget, remember this is just a season and you still have priorities.
I believe a lot of people are not preparing extravagant anymore.
They have learned their lessons well during this pandemic period.
Even with gambling, they will only play with extra funds unless you are a degen of this habit.
So for me, I only gamble for fun. I have had my fair share of losses. So I know what to do already.
Just like with holiday season, just spend within your means. Don't showoff to other people.

I have to say its really affected by now, but i think that won't be a problem either as i can always gamble even with smaller amount to bet. As long as i only gamble for entertainment purposes only, spending what is extra money is just enough. And besides, we can always gamble anytime we want as long as there are funds, but this holiday season comes only once a year so we should seize it.

I do really spend more than the budget that I've allocated for the gifts and foods and I have to follow that in order. That's because with the belief that I don't get to celebrate that much every year. There's the thanksgiving and holiday season and that's why it's okay for me to spend more than the threshold of my budget. And in gambling, yeah, it's accurate that it's mostly reduced and that's what I have to sacrifice in order for me to come up with those expenditures.

Sure, I'm spending less on pleasures of life and addictions this month but I had to buy gifts for people and already stacked up some alcohol for the New Year's party at my friend's.
There are months when I don't think about gambling at all and December is one of those months. Maybe if we were in a bull market, but you all know how things are this year.

No my budget is not affected. I don't over extend myself with gambling, that said I wouldn't
be a high stakes kind of gambler, it's more for entertainment rather than trying to
make massive gains.
I can imagine during this season when there could be financial pressures on people that
a gambling budget could get chopped but then there are the cases of addiction and if something
else would have to be compromised instead of gambling.

This festive period comes once in a year and gambling can be done everyday,anytime and anywhere. Therefore,I will be focusing more on friends and family entertainment. I have travelled to my home town to spend the Xmas and I will be so busy with social life, I will not be gambling at all this period because there will be no time for that and my gambling budget will be spent on giving out to children on Xmas day that will come around me. It the time to show love to people around us,I will also be visiting the orphanage home with my family so a lot will be spent.

Whether I like it or not, the expenses in this coming holiday affected my fund for gambling. The extra expenses for gifts, foods, and other stuffs that has related to the coming holiday had invaded my bankroll. I have not prepared enough in this holiday since there had been lots of expenses lately. But I think I can still gamble during the holiday but the bankroll won't be that much.

I think those who keeps a proper calculation of their budget, would not suffer that much. Always keep one section reserved for emergency situation. Whether it is needed or not. Make one account, keep your personal usages there, One for savings, One for investment, one for daily expenses and finally one for emergency situation.
If used correctly, I don't think any budget will be affected.

To be frankly speaking, I must say that within the past few weeks since I came home for Christmas, I have actually spent beyond my budgeted target meant for the entire Christmas and new year celebration, because in as much as it's a season of love and gifts sharing, I'm that type who finds it hard not to give when I happen to come across someone in need, even thou it's my last card. So on the more plain note, this Christmas has abit affected both my savings and funds meant for gambling. Moreover, I equally lost more funds during the World Cup final, as I thought "Home" Argentina will win, staking huge sum, only for the game to end draw 3-3.

The past may be different, but throughout this year especially in the last 6 months my gambling budget has dropped. I put it down because my focus is on investing, it's not because of any particular celebration or holiday.But in the past, my gambling budget was erratic. I could have spent a lot more, or maybe no more than $100 depending on how lucky I was to double my capital to get a win. For sure we get the win, so that will also help for some time.

If your budget gets affected by the season then you may need to improve your forward planning or even give up gambling altogether, or at the very least drop it down to a negligible amount instead. That being said, some people have to cope on fairly restricted budgets and I guess they might find entertainment or a release in gambling so it's a valid question. Personally I only place small bets down and have enough spare capacity on my income that it barely gets any thought at all. If you have a low income there is definitely better ways you could be spending your money, especially during the festive period and you might spread a lot more joy by spending it on friends and family instead.

Definitely, the festive season affected my gambling budget. With lots of kids to buy gifts and the elderly too, I have to restrain myself from gambling during this holiday week. I do not want to gamble the happiness of these kids and the elderly. I may probably win but it isn't 100% sure and since my current gameplay is in a negative trend, I have to adjust because I don't have extra fund to make up for it if ever I got a bad session again.
So for now, I will be happy reading the successful gambling results of our fellow members since I will keep my distance from gambling until the holiday season is over.
