Topic: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it (Read 1492 times)

as social creatures, it is difficult for us to be able to gamble full time, it is impossible, especially since gambling is a way of making money that can never be used as a main source of income, I play slot gambling only when I have free time but lately I can't do it, my responsibilities as a mother mean that I haven't played slots for the last few months, we have to prioritize the important things in our lives, for example family, gambling is fun but we can't make it the main thing and even forget about our family. 
Gambling too much will never be good, in fact almost 100 percent of people who gamble too much will only lose money, re-strategizing gambling is necessary when the responsibility or strategy we use is not effective.

I agree with you as gambling can't be use as a source of income due to the inconsistent nature of gambling. You can win money today and lose the next time that you gamble therefore you can consider sometimes that you can depend on for consistency to be your source of money. Gambling should be an activity that we do for entertainment and therefore it shouldn't consume too much of our time or it'll become an addictive activity that we can't stop but yet isn't making us money.

Every individuals that doesn't profit from gambling should stop gambling. If gambling is taking too much of your time you also have to stop gambling or reduce the amount of time that you spending gambling. Just few hours is okay for you to gamble, you don't have to spend the whole day gambling unless you're out with your friends or family and the type of bets you guys will be playing won't be too harsh.

Even if they are old and no longer have much to do, they shouldn't be spending all their time on gambling; it's really not that good.
 
They should also be spending time on other things, like their family, grandchildren, and the rest of them, and the type of game they play if money is not involved should not be considered gambling completely.
 
Imagine them at that stage playing gambling outside their home, waking up every day, and stepping out to play games. You can't be sure of the kind of feeling that might attract them; most times they might be losing badly to their opponent, which won't leave any positive energy on them.

The better meaning is to never get involved or quit gambling if you or anyone does not want to experience any problems whether in terms of finance or time, because however if someone is involved in gambling then I am sure they will not really be able to fully manage their time well, there will always be time that should be for other interests but instead they use it for gambling, it is difficult to really have good management of time or even money when you are already involved in gambling.

One of the reasons is because gambling can be very tantalizing which makes someone sometimes feel very curious at any time even when they are not in the right time or when they are in the time they should use for other interests such as rest, everything happens because of the curiosity that is sometimes difficult for them to ignore, as you said that the level of curiosity will always be in a player, unawareness can plunge someone who ultimately ends up with regret.

If you are really that serious on having that gambling session at least and not really consuming out your time then put up a single bet on a single roll YOLO then no matter what the result would be then you do simply stop and call it a day. Never ever tend to spend up even more time after a very long exhausting day  after your own work because we do know that even playing into this kind of condition is something cant really give out that kind of enjoyment or thrill just because you are tired. Dont force up on something for it to work if you do find it that your body is already that exhausted. There would really be the perfect time for you to be able to do so and not something that you are forcing just because your mind telling you that you should be playing no matter what.

Also, there's no fun when you do make up some bets when you are tired. Its pointless if you do have that kind of aim and point of view into your gambling session. You cant really be able to enjoy
because you are tired. Do it for some time on which you are well and that not came from those tiring moment.

Gambling is only as time-consuming as you make it. If you wanted to you could play a single slots game which only takes seconds or poker which takes much longer. But if you notice that you are not good at handling either the time or the gambling and it is having a large impact on your life, then you should totally consider changing some things- or simply giving up on gambling.

Some people can handle it, some cannot. You know yourself best.

There are even some movies about it, when you think of a lottery do not always think about it like millions of dollars, there are some local very small ones with a few tens of thousands of dollars as well. I believe Bryan Crantson played in one of them as well, was a fun little movie for sure.

I think it is quite important to realize that we are going to end up with a situation where it wouldn't be as easy, and we end up with a situation that wouldn't be too quick to finish it off neither. Just consider the possibility of doing things like this as temporary, and not a way to get rich. In the end, gambling is something that carries a risk with it at all times, so there shouldn't be any person who looks at it like it is some sort of income.

Well, as much as I agree with people should gamble all through when they are supposed to be resting, most especially, those who may not later have the time to actually rest because at that time, something very important to attend to must have come up, but honestly, I don't think going online to place some bets on some ongoing or about to kick off sports matches is a wrong thing, and the outcome of such bet, in real sense usually don't have anything to do with whether they player was tired at the time he or she placed that bet or not.

Let's say for example, I knew a match between Liverpool and Arsenal is coming up, judging from the current standing and points earned by this two clubs in the Premier league table, we could easily tell that this match will be a very stuff one, as only the best of the best club can win, and there will no room for any kind of mistakes for both clubs because any club that makes any mistakes can literally serve as an opportunity to win for the other club, so, I've studied this game in the day time, probably during my free time at work, and I came to the conclusion that Liverpool would win the match, but unfortunately, there was no time to put up my bet on Liverpool at that time.
So, let on, I got home, feeling very tired and sleepy, but before I sleep off, I decide to go online and place my bet on Liverpool since the match will soon begin, and I may miss out on a potential win and profit if I don't place that bet at that time, I placed bet successfully and then slept off late, and when I work up, I discovered that Iost the bet, because somehow, Arsenal have managed to beat Liverpool, are you going to say that the reason I lost that bet is because I place it when I was tired and feeling sleepy? Or I lost as a result of wrong analysis/prediction.?

Absolutely a great topic that touches on one of the most pressing issues. As a rule, the path of any gambler, for example, who is fond of batting, begins with the fact that he mentally analyzes the games, but this analysis is not implemented anywhere. I mean, gambler doesn't bet, he just thinks. Then he gets bored and makes a bet, usually a successful one. At the same time, he has a lot of time. But then he gets into gambling and wants to bet, but he doesn't have much time, for example, because of work. But the habit remains, and such a gambler makes bets without analyzing his actions and loses.
I've seen it with my friends too.
Therefore, I would like to say that if a gambler does not have time, it is better to be outside of gambling.

That's on a different perspective of what Op is saying, although it's cool to set out some time for gambling during our free times. But those who are not able to do this are actually on Op's radar of advice. Not everyone knows how to deal with challenges, and most people only have fewer sleeping times, because they gamble during their resting time. Or few hours before they go to work. Everyday requires lots of chores and home keeping before we go to work. The time management as you said, will definitely affect the player, as every single minute he spends gambling could be converted to hours, due to the level of curiosity gambling could cause to a player. Some would forget they've spent more hours gambling and could sleep off on their computer. That's actually where this gets bad.

This is one thing most people don't know, and they see it as a very common thing. Everything has time, and you just need to give your body the rest it needs instead of stressing the brain more. 
 
There are people who can just finish up with stressful work and need to rest and relax. Instead of looking for things to do or lying down and sleeping, they will go straight to an online casino to place multiple bets, and the outcome of the game most times can turn out negative due to their restless minds. 

We are so lazy and so unconscious that we never live according to a routine which is why no matter how much we set a gambling limit we always go over it. at first we can control ourselves but gradually we become addicted to gambling due to which we increase the amount of gambling.  And this is how we gradually become deeply addicted to gambling. there are many of us who cannot think of gambling as a bad thing and those who think of gambling as a simple and easy thing become addicted to gambling more quickly. as they have no control over themselves, they always exceed their limits

it should never control you. I've witnessed how chasing that high can derail lives.

The key is control. Gambling's built for the house to win long-term. Thats just the way it is. You put your rent money on a bet, hoping to get rich? Thats a losing strategy, and frankly, not very smart.

Being smart means setting limits. Have some fun, sure, but within reason. Keep it as a hobby, one you can afford. Think about it -  if gambling's running your life, dictating your decisions, then you're not in charge anymore. And thats the worst deal you could make.

Remember, the thrill's great, but it shouldnt come at the cost of your well-being, your family, your future. I know a lot, I've seen people fall hard because of this. Take it from someone who values winning the right way - gamble responsibly, or the only person you'll be hurting is yourself.

Out of curiosity, what kind of games do you usually play, in which you spend most of your day in? Perhaps, Dices, plinko or some similar game?
I believe if you want to try and improve your time management, you should not focus in casino games but rather go for betting. In betting (unlike with casino games) you do not need to be 100% focus on you session so you can get profit, it requires less time, but you would.need to have your phone always with you and have internet connection, so you can follow the matches through social media and also catch out your money before the end of the matches, if you feel it would be convenient for your bankroll.

In the end, the first step towards improving our life, is admitting there is something we wish to change for the better. You already took that step, now all it is left is to work on it. Good luck and hopefully your future sessions will be profitable and full of excitement. 

that's what gamblers should do, that they can play, but they also need to manage their time and set limits so that gambling doesn't interfere with their activities. if they have to stop, then they just stop, and when they play, they know their limits, so they don't use too much money and it doesn't disturb their psychology. this can be said to be a responsible gambler, because responsible gamblers are those who can control their gambling, not vice versa, gambling controls them.

nah! That's not true. What's your problem is possibly that you're not able to manage your time the right way. It could be another thing outside of Gambling. Their are people that comes back from work and waste a lot of time on the social media or just watching movies and end up allowing it affect thier next day at work. Planning your day will actually help you manage what and what you do at every step of the way.

Like, if you're playing your casino once you're done with the days work, it's as simple as setting out how long you will play the casino before going off to do prepare for the next days job. Set out an alarm that reminds you that you've exceeded the amount you're to spend in your casino and that way, you kind of monitor and control your excesses so you can go about your gambling in a responsible way.

What you're basically saying is that stop gambling when you're addicted.

It's not about having the lack of time that causes you to lose so much on these gambling sessions, it's the fact that you're making gambling a way bigger part of your life than what it should be. The fact that you're consistently allocating time and budget for it (and quite poorly I must say since you're losing funds which I would presume is supposed to go for your daily expenses) to the point that you're losing both sleep and money because of it is a telltale sign that you're already addicted to it, you're just one bad game away from really digging a deeper grave.

So in that regard, and this goes for everyone out there who's looking to gamble, make it a point to not make gambling any bigger than an alternative hobby you could take when the others just couldn't cut it for you, don't spend so much time and money on a rendezvous that is literally created to profit off of other people's misery and misfortune. Be more intelligent and be sensible, gambling is gambling, it's not a way of life.

This must be applied because by getting used to diverting our thoughts when we experience defeat it will help us from feeling emotional and other things. Most gamblers always get caught up when they start to get emotional from their defeat so they continue to play excessively just to chase their defeat, ultimately making them uncontrollably lose a lot of money and lose a lot of money. losing big in just a moment, many cases like that eventually become gambling addiction which we know is a disease that is difficult to cure.

I also often divert myself when I experience defeat, usually going out for a while with my wife and children, playing bowling or just fishing, at least getting rid of the thought and pressure of playing gambling again, enjoying what we do, the point is don't take gambling too seriously because if it's too serious it won't work. it will never be good in the end, fortunately I also always think that gambling is just for fun so there is not much hope of winning and getting money, if you lose, just go somewhere fun. Not all the fun is in gambling. There are lots of things to visit out there. 

Of course, we have to get used to it from the start by playing with full awareness, because this is very important so that we don't get carried away by the atmosphere of gambling games which makes it easier for us to experience defeat, and even lose everything. And playing with full awareness, we will have no difficulty controlling ourselves and will act carefully and considerately when we want to make decisions.
It's not easy, but you have to get used to it for the good of the gambler. And the issue of playing time is also very important, and play when we have free time with a very good overall condition. Because with this we can enjoy the game and play relaxedly without any ambition and emotions which will prevent us from feeling greedy and losing consciousness which will lead to many defeats.

            -     Gambling should be considered just for fun and should not be thought of as a job. As for me, I only play when I have a free day and need to have fun.
It also gives me comfort when I have a problem or am a little stressed.

And when I lose, I'll stop, watch for a while, and then later on, I'll exit. That's the same cycle I follow when I gamble in a casino. And I've been doing it for a year here in the crypto
space field.
