Topic: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it - page 10. (Read 1877 times)

I experience the same situation before. Since I have work, I do not have much time to play or gamble. Before, I usually play after I work, tired but still plays. What I hate it when I experience losses, it affects me emotionally and had a hard time sleeping. When I realized its effect to me, I decided to stop that habit of playing at night, instead I play when I have my free time, which is usually on weekends when I do not have work. I ensure that it doesn't affect me emotionally and financially now.

That's right, sometimes whatever advice we give them, it's really hard to follow them because they're already under the influence of gambling addiction.  So, it is important to be aware of the possibilities once you enter the world of gambling, you need intense self-control and time/financial management, or if you feel like you are on your way to addiction, while it is too early to find another way to avoid addiction.

Gamblers become addicted with increasing attraction to gambling because greed works in them. A greedy person can never keep himself under control. This is why these gamblers are more prone to losses. Addicted gambler is getting addicted to gambling then firstly understand his problem well and think positive at right time and don't talk about past. It is only necessary to look at the current problem and think about how gambling is causing danger in a person's life then the risk in gambling will be less.

It is important for a gambler to be responsible with their time and gamble according to their free time. Gamblers can choose to gamble at night or preferably on weekends where they have more free time. Because when gamblers cannot manage their time when gambling, it will disrupt their activities and make them unproductive and tend to play unwisely. If gamblers play according to their own desires, without considering the time - over time it can make them addicted to gambling and have difficulty controlling themselves.

Yes, the adrenaline to continue playing gambling will increase because they will thinks that they can't stop right now as they still wants to gets more enjoyment. They also still have money to continue playing gambling and have a chance to wins the other gambling games if they can't wins in the previous gambling games. Their interest in gambling will keep increase and hard to stops themselves and they have a chance to gets addicted to gambling. If they can thinks clear about gambling activity and see that playing gambling too long or too often can makes them in trouble, they must try to reduce their gambling activity and not trying to spends much time to playing gambling. You will try to use your free time for the other things and not just to playing gambling.

When you can manage our free time better, you will have many activities that can help you to release your stress and you will gets relax with many activities that you have. You will not playing gambling too often and if you want to playing gambling, you can limits yourself and not playing gambling excessively because you knows that gambling is just for fun and not for the other things. You realizes about the problems that can occurs in the gambling games so you always knows your limits and not trying to break the limits because that will gives you problems.

If every evening you spend about 1 to 2 hours gambling as a form of entertainment, then I think everything is fine, you can relieve stress after work if we don't put too much emphasis on winning and losing, it's simple, see it as entertainment. If you play until late at night, and spend too much time on it, it is understandable that you will feel tired, and even worse, the losses that come with it. It will be difficult to start a good working day tomorrow with such an evening. Playing every evening or on the weekend I think is not as important as controlling your playing time. Playing too much can easily cause a feeling of stress, not only with gambling but also playing regular games can cause a feeling of fatigue.

Well, I won't call an addiction since you still are in the sane mind to adjust your gambling habits as it is already affecting your necessary daily routine. That experience of yours is very essential for you and the others to understand that the life outside gambling is far more important than gambling itself.
I won't blame you if you were gambling until midnight before, I presume you're only doing that because it was your only outlet to forget how tiring it is after the day job. Unexpectedly, you found and learn something better than just doing gambling late at night. Some people may not be able to control it and so it will be developed as gambling addiction.
Gambling during weekends are always the best time to do it, not only because you have enough free time but you also have a fresh mind to put the right amount of bet without excessively losing because of frustrations.

Yep, we who gamble certainly want or don't want to get something back from the behavior. But not being able to balance activities will lead us to fall into difficult situations. If we are just looking for joy, there is no need to be too pressured because we are always ready for any situation that may arise. I also had time to spend a few hours gambling, it took up time from work and daily activities, and when I realized that it was harming my life, I would automatically quit.

But it still has to be said that if gambling leads to addiction then you are going on the wrong path, remember one thing that everyone always warns about take responsibility for each decision you make.

Yeah it is very difficult to stop gambling addiction but a person should not only consider his own place if he goes to more addiction it will have a bad effect on the family so he should not forget his responsibility. Before going to the addiction stage set your own limits and move forward gambling is a good place for entertainment a little carelessness becomes a risk factor. Because of this mistake of gamblers they become addicted.

This is a common mistake that all gamblers often make, they only think about their own pleasure, and often ignore other responsibilities because they are too involved in gambling. All gamblers have probably promised themselves not to lose track of time, to manage the limit of money they can spend, but we often break these promises. Yes, gambling addiction is very difficult to stop, because pleasure mixed with risk will always attract us to the same place.

A gambler is not an addicted gambler when he can stop even if he loses. Gambling is fun only when the main purpose is not to get out of it, but to exploit the excitement. There are some gamblers who concentrate on gambling for a long period of time will definitely turn into addicted gamblers. They will be affected by various diseases including their health. If the gambler took it in for a while and quickly got out of it, it wouldn't have had much of an effect. Moreover, if a gambler concentrates on gambling while leaving his important work, then on the one hand he is harming that work and on the other hand he is also affecting his personal life. A gambler should consider these things before gambling.

Obviously too much of everything is bad. When you start at first, it is more like having fun before you know you start having constant fun and then addictions come in when you can do without doing such things. That is how it happens in gambling. Addictions start from stage to stage and before you know one is totally addicted, without knowing he/she is addicted.

One thing i dislike about addictions is the lack of awareness of the gambler. You will still feel like you're having a fun while gambling but you do not know that you have lost all self-awareness and you're in lack of control of how you are gambling.

For sure they have knowledge on what they are doing but they just ignore what they know and continue to do those destructive mannerism since they think its still fun to continue to gamble while they are already experiencing a heavy upset on the activities they do. And when they continue to do those things since they are still in denial then think everything is under control then their addiction became more deeper that's why we could expect that more problems will happen.

Its important for us to know our limitation also our availability to gamble since if we don't have free time or capacity to do it then maybe we should never think about to gamble since the result will surely not go the way how we expect since provably we will encounter disappointing result especially if we are so aggressive.

It's a lose-lose on all sides. You don’t get enough sleep and therefore at work you are not as good as you could be, accordingly, problems may arise because of this and this will affect your financial part. Lack of sleep will affect your health. When you play gambling, you don’t have enough time and energy to analyze the situation and make the best decision; due to fatigue, emotions can take over and the wrong decision will be made, that is, you can also lose money.
Therefore, if you are interested in my opinion, then I believe that in this situation you did everything right.

That's why more people become addicted to it and if you don't have any knowledge of what you are about to become it's better to avoid it in total because when you are already there, there's only a low possibility that you can stop what you are doing but most of the time people always fall into categories of addictions where they can't seem to recover quickly rather they think of it all day and look for some other resources in order to fund their addictions over and over again until there's nothing left with them. that's why if only they could stop it soon, it wouldn't end like that.

Oh how I have stopped but not at all because of free time rather because of consecutive after consecutive lost sessions.While many of you will think that it is normal to have bad luck in gambling let me tell that bad luck cannot go into infinity which is what happened to me these 3 months after 4 January 2024 up in March.I stopped one moment to think and I came to the conclusion that this is not what it means to gamble,you simply cannot have 3 straight months of bad luck and I think something is very wrong with how luck works in these f*cked up slot machines that all gamblers play,that is unbelievable,I remember when I used to go almost every day playing physical slots many years ago and I don't remember 3 consecutive months only losing there at all.

Certainly, even if you have free time and focus on gambling you cannot guarantee that you will win. Gambling is not a place to generate income, but rather a place to ruin your plans because whenever you bet and the game ends on cut, you will not understand yourself and will think you should have used it for something better. gamble is for fun you should not be risking your money on gambling. It is better to take risk in another source, such as investment, trade, or other company that you can promise you will most likely earn from. not gamble whenever I bet on gambling it is not with significant money I just bet because I should support my club very well when playing to win the match. and not every time because if you addicted to bet he will be very difficult to stop gambling and you will be wasting your funds on it everyday.

Really? Tell that to people who are professionally involved in gambling.
Tell that to pro poker or bridge players. These games are much more than simple gambling and you really have to be good to win in the long run. You can get lucky for a while, but consistency matters in these games.

It's a very simple advice that I agree with. If gambling influences your other activities and in a way takes over your life you should stop, but it's similar to any other destructive behavior. Even sports can be destructive if you come back in pain and risk a permanent injury. Everything is good in moderation.

gambling is most appropriate when someone uses their free time to gamble, for example on the weekend or when they finish work. by taking advantage of this free time, a gambler can make their gambling an activity that is more enjoyable and less burdensome for them. but when they play too much and don't think about the time, such as playing while working or at inappropriate hours, then gambling has become something that can lead to serious problems which can affect the gambler's life.

That's right, gambling without having a time limit will only trigger a person to end up with an increased interest in gambling in the sense that over time you will find it difficult to ignore the slightest time not to gamble which in the end yes obviously you will gamble excessively and aggressively. The point is that you should only gamble when you have free time and you must make it a point that the gambling you are doing is only to relieve boredom in your free time meaning that when you have entered some other more important activities then obviously leave gambling.

However, gambling is not an activity that should be taken seriously, because everything there is nothing more than a game of chance and this is the reason why gambling is more recommended to be used as a place of fun when you have boring free time, and as you say that there are quite a lot of people who have become victims where they have experienced many bad effects and it is all due to the wrong treatment of gambling where they are too much.
