Topic: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? - page 4. (Read 1561 times)

Since I only play lottery games it only take me 5 minutes to place my bet in the lottery booth and then go home. But based on my observation cock fighting here in my place took my friends like 7-10 hours. Card players usually took them more or less 12 hours sometimes they go home at dawn without a meal, that is how they are addicted to it even if it was illegal here.

In my opinion,  the more time one decides to spend on gambling, the more money they lose. For example, if I spend like one hour gambling and another gambler spends like six hours gambling, which one of us do you think will spend more money?

So the question again is: how many hours do you gamblers think are more appropriate to spend while gambling?

For me, it depends on my budget if I run out or still win, but the time I often spend gambling is 3 hours win or lose. There is nothing wrong if you gamble for a long time, 3 hours to 6 hours, as long as your budget can handle it and you don't gamble every day. The bad thing is that if you gamble every day and the time you spend is always 3 hours to 6 hours or more, that's not good, you have a high chance of becoming addicted to gambling if you gamble like that. You can easily run out of money. So it's possible that others are the same way once their budget is used up they will stop there too so it really depends on the budget how long you will last.

This thought just crossed my mind after I dropped my comment on this board here some hours ago. I have tried to search for any related topic but have not gotten any results. Guys, if this topic has been discussed before, please do well to tag me while you also drop your opinions here.

If the title is a bit tricky, then I will break it down.

Gambling is for fun, and actually, if someone wants to have fun gambling, there is no way they can spend six hours gambling or even spend the rest of their day gambling.

In my opinion,  the more time one decides to spend on gambling, the more money they lose. For example, if I spend like one hour gambling and another gambler spends like six hours gambling, which one of us do you think will spend more money?

So the question again is: how many hours do you gamblers think are more appropriate to spend while gambling?

Some people will say that they will gamble for as long as their deposited money is still not exhausted, while others will say that they will gamble until their urge is satisfied. But I think that it will be exhausting to gamble for a very long time, like more than 6 hours, and it will also cause the gambler to lose more.

I don't think I have gambled more than 2 hours without getting tired (not sure) . I have not actually checked my gambling strength to know how long I can last while gambling; now that I have thought of it, I will try it.

I assume it's no longer Christmas Day, so happy World Boxing Day, guys.

First people must understand that gambling is not like sport for example, when doing something for more than hours or half an hours is useless and gives nothing except exhaustion. Gambling is not something like medical procedure, which is doing less than X minutes gives no effect, and more than X minutes damages health. The amount of time spend in gambling must be measured with size of deposit and ability of having self control, so that gambler won lose everything in one session. It is not something "doctor recommends to do it X minutes per day".

Your point regarding time and risk calculation is important, but gambling's volatility cannot be changed by patient. Understanding odds and having a strategy can reduce risks, but not eliminate them.

Often neglected, knowing when to stop is crucial. It's dangerous to make 'just one more bet' Self-control in gambling includes regulating emotions, expectations, and bets. The trick is to gamble just with what you can afford to lose and to enjoy gambling, not make money.

Not so sure if someone involved in gambling takes hours to train patience and increase the chances of winning. Gambling is known to have a side of luck and it is not every day that we are lucky enough to gamble, so there is quite a risk of losing when people are involved in gambling for a much longer duration. But I agree with one thing, if we are in a condition of luck then increasing the bet can give us a big win while we are in gambling activities.

On the other hand we also have to think about when to stop because if we are forced to continue, our previous winnings could turn into losing all our previous bets. Time is not a big problem but how can someone be responsible for the gambling activities carried out because if not we will lose much more.

Gambling for long hours could increase the chance of winning and understanding better about gambling. In reality, gamblers won't have the patience, and they don't follow it. All they do is just increase the bet value after a loss. If lucky, the gambler will recover what he lost in his previous wager, if not, his gambling fund gets washed off. To avoid such situations, it is always good to wager with limits on the bet value. This will allow the gambler to have long hours of gambling as well as help to avoid losses. At the end of the day, gambling is more of a luck-based thing, so how long we spend doesn't matter.

I think this all really just entirely depends on the situation.  One valuable piece of time management in regards to gambling that I've learned over the years is to gamble when you've got plenty of time on your hands.  That way you're not forced to quickly play/potentially make rushed decisions.  I learned this lesson playing Texas Hold'em in college a bunch.  With that game you've got to have plenty of time set aside to gamble.  If not, you'll be forced to make silly all in type bets.  I would get a call from my gf at the time who'd say to come over, and then I'd just go all in and waste a game.  So, my two on this topic.

Coming to your first point that gambling is not at all fun because it is betting with money and losing your pocket ZERo.

The next point is that gambling doesn't depend on time because there are many people who gamble a lot of money in just a few hours and there are many people who gamble all day and bet very little money. So you have to have a pocket full of money to gamble.
When i go to the casino or betting then i will have a certain amount of money in my pocket and i will start with that. If i win then i will play more but if i lose i will not play anymore.

What I do is very simple. I get a budget for a session that day and I only finish when I ran out of that money, which usually only take me 45 minutes -2 hours depending of the budget and my luck (which is in average bad, most of the times). Though, I must recognize this is a bad strategy, because it encourages me to continue to gamble even after starting to get into profit, so I end up losing all my budget.

I am yet to reach a point when I need to get off the computer or my phone and continue to have balance in my account, that being said, I believe my limit time to be up to 3 hours at maximum, assuming I have got nothing to do or take care of that same day.

Of course, I have read and seen videos of people who spend most of their day on the slots and people in Las Vegas not even wanting to get up their seat to reach the bathroom, they may perfectly be wearing deapers, for the sake of gambling. Not my thing, it is obviously one of the high staged of gambling addiction if one cannot even care to reach the table to eat or a Watercup to defecate.
