Topic: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it - page 15. (Read 1886 times)

On which games are you gambling precisely, because sport bet is very time consuming for one bet compared to casino games. But most gambling games except poker maybe don't need to spend time if you are not chasing a bonus or a promotion, or participating to a tournament. One round of roulette, baccarat or slot games takes less than a minute. And blackjack is fast too. 

Gambling online easily drags a player to do such things, because they've got easy access to gamble. It's not a simple thing for a player to boycott such an urge. But with a serious-minded player, he'd think of completing his tasks first before gambling. Wagering with nothing to worry about helps the player focus on his gambling method. Gambling can't help a depressed person, yes, and it's wrong as a solution. Most people get depressed due to gambling, and using it as a cure is a double trouble. Entertainment comes at a time when all tasks have been fully completed.

The gambler chooses to rest and enjoy his free time with gambling. Retirement age is quite a perfect period for gambling. It allows the person enough space to think about gambling. Gambling while in service lands the gambler into a double mental stress. When in office he thinks of the casino, and vice versa. Hence, a gambler who is not energetic enough to hold the urge to gamble while working, or a few minutes late to an event, should stop for a while. It's a good sign of addiction. Whenever something affects our important daily activities, it's a sign the gambler is closer to addiction. As it has double-crossed the important events, and gambler gets to be more important. At that stage, it grows to a level where the place only sees gambling as the only superior event or activity.

Sounds like a you problem. Not sure what kind of gambling you are doing, but most people would stop well before their bed time so that they could get the rest they needed if their job required it.

Maybe you should look to talk to a therapist.

Your experience is our experience too, lucky you can realize and change your previous gambling patterns. because, usually someone will find it difficult to change patterns that have become routines and habits. moreover, if someone has experienced a tendency towards their gambling pattern. so, you could say you have self-control in your gambling. overall from what you said, regarding your previous gambling patterns. We have experienced this too, in fact I still like to gamble on the sidelines after my work activities. But that doesn't mean I don't know the risks and consequences, but we have our own ways so that it doesn't have too much of an impact like what you experienced. yeah, starting from experience, we also learn to change patterns that can be detrimental to ourselves. the difference is, I don't always bet every night. except, where I really want to get entertainment. for example, playing slots and etc. but the gambling I like most is football, so I don't bet every time after work. yeah, just like you, you could say that every week I gamble following the pattern of the football schedule. but sometimes, there are matches that are held on weekdays. To get around this, ideally I bet and then wait for the final result. that's why, I rarely watch all the matches that are not very important to me. well, if many gamblers experience experiences like the OP today. ideally, divide your time between work and pleasure. I mean, gambling. yeah, just like the OP did.

You are the ones who would really be getting blamed into the actions you are making and not someone. If you have noticed that you have spend up that too much time with gambling and so as with the money then it would really be just that right that you should really be controlling out the situation and have that kind of moderation or immediate step for you to be able to stop such thing.It would really be just that impossible that you cant really be able to make yourself find out if you are already on the bad side or right side of things specially into the things you've been dealing off with. It is really just that something that
you cant really be able to determine whether you would really be stopping or would really be totally continuing on the things that you've been doing.

You are to be blamed for forcing yourself to gamble, you should not have done that for any reason as gambling should be done when everything is rightly in line. Even at that time you force yourself, you will not be gambling at your best since you are forcing it after the whole long days of stress. At that time, you should be relaxing and cooling your brain and not do what will put more stress on you by not relaxing well prior to another working day. However with the nature of your job, the weekend is the best time you can gamble if you are such that do not have the time to gamble after work and your work does not also permit you to gamble during the work hours.

I am happy you have resolved this on your own and it shows clearly that you are not referring to the sport betting, because you can do enough with sports betting, if you want, before the matches are played. You will only get to check the results later. Regardless, since it's the casinos, well, you do not have a choice unless you are such that is only entertaining yourself by gambling it. But judging by the way you explained things, it clearly shows that you are not just betting for the fun of it, so you do not have to pretend so, rescheduling as you did is the best.

Same to you OP, I had that habit before that after finishing all my night regime activities after work and it's now time to rest, I will take a bit of playing slot games before taking a long nap. However, once the game goes into the exciting and thrilling part where winnings are more often to happen and free spins are exploding like crazy after just a few manual spins, instead of just a bit of playing, it will now pump my eagerness to continue without realizing the night is going too deep.

Good thing I've now changed and only do gambling once I'm sure that I'm free all day long so that in case of continuous winning and luck associates me that day, I can also accommodate them all day long. The only solution there is to force ourselves to change.

If you do not have the free time to gamble, it means that whenever you gamble you will be gambling under pressure, and gambling under pressure is not a good way to gamble because your chances of winning will be limited. Create a time for gambling, so you do not gamble under pressure. If the idea is also gambling for fun, fun will not be had if you do it in a hurry and under pressure because of your busy work schedule, hence the importance to create a time and schedule for it.

An advantage to having a schedule for gambling is that you get to gamble less, and reduce the chances of getting addicted.

We also need to state as a side note that not all games require a lot of time for you to play them, and for some other gambling like sport betting, you can make your analysis in the midst of other activities, it only requires a few minutes to place your bets after you make your choices on sports betting.

Glad you were able to set your priorities straight before the unimportant activity (gambling) ruins you.You were not alone on this,  many people faced this and some are still facing it now.  Those who cannot create a balance between their jobs and gambling are irresponsible and in most cases addicted.  A responsible gambler should be able to manage his time well so his gambling habit doesn't ruin the things that matter most to him like his job, family,  loved ones and even his religion. When there is no balance, definitely one, some or all aspects of his life will suffer the consequences. We should be conscious of ourselves whenever we gamble so we can really tell when things are not going well so such can be corrected immediately before things go bad

Gambling is just entertainment and entertainment is not our main priority, duties and responsibilities are the main things we have to complete. And of course, when we are faced with tasks and obligations that must be carried out, sometimes this makes us a little stressed and makes us feel quite depressed. However, it is not a good idea if you intend to relieve stress and depression by gambling, because gambling is full of uncertainty and if at the end of the game you lose. So, instead of these activities making us feel happy and a little relieved, they can actually make us even more stressed and depressed. This could make us unfocused when we return to work.

And when we don't have enough free time to gamble, it would be wiser if we skip gambling activities and focus more on completing our tasks and obligations. In other words, we can only gamble after we fulfill and complete the duties and obligations that we carry out.

In general, gambling is for money, that is the mindset that most gamblers have. Meanwhile, if you think like that, then it is clear that addiction is very difficult to avoid and the bad effects of gambling are very difficult to cure. Gambling should be for fun and it will make the gambler play within reasonable limits and will not damage the many things he has to have.

It is always said, be a responsible gambler, it is advice that basically every gambler should consider if they do not want to get into a lot of trouble from gambling. It is difficult to be a responsible gambler as long as money is the goal of the game, but understanding reasonable limits in gambling is mandatory.

When you are on family time then it would really be normal that you would really be that get changed up the mood specially when you do lose money and this is why it would really be that just important that you should really know at least on what you are doing or something that do talks about being sensible with your actions because if you dont make yourself that too mindful on things
then you are really that susceptible into that possible devastation or change of mood on which it would really be compromising things around and this is something that
can be avoided if you are really just that mindful with your actions. It all matters with self realization and decision making because not all would really be that good when it comes to it.

For sure you should be gambling if you dont have time for it, if it is taking up other time then it's going to be a problem for sure, You could easily get productive on doing things other than gambling, I mean personally I treat gambling as an entertainment, after work you could for sure gamble sometimes and its kinda feel great doing it just to get entertain, but not really since it involved money it gives me a little stress as well and I really needed to be careful on my what I do because I could potentially lose money on it, I mean no one wanted to lose their money on gambling right.

It is definitely doable with the right time management you could schedule things like gambling for sure on a limit, like for example every weekday so that you have your free time right, but at the same time you limit your risk of losing money on it, If gambling is already affecting your life like what you have said it making not get productive on work because you dont have enough sleep, then you just have to stop that gambling easily move to other days probably where you dont have nothing to do, just make sure that your gambling is not going to affect your life then its fine gambling.

Schedule could easily benefit how you do gambling since you be able to monitor it easily, and having that control time that you are giving on gambling is going to prevent those behaviors or having a spike on your emotions which is really a problem on gambling.

You have actually brought up an important point, we have been saying so far that there is nothing wrong with gambling if you can afford the funds for gambling. But our time sense should also be kept in mind and I think those who have no time sense while gambling are one kind off addicted person to gambling. And addiction never brings anything good. It used to be like this before when online gambling was new to you, I wasted a lot of time on gambling and it affected my studies and work.
I think that just as we set aside some percentage of our income for gambling, we should set aside some time in our 24-hour routine for entertainment and complete the gambling within that time and if we exceed this fixed time, it should be considered for that day. should be closed for. If not, it will indirectly cause us financial loss as well as physical damage For example, you may suffer from insomnia, and stroke to reduce it.

I agree, I also had the same experience as you. The difference is, I don't have an impact on my work, it rather destroys quality time with my family. I play as long as I have free time, even when I find quality time I also gamble at online casinos.

In the end it ruined my mood when I was with my family, I really regret it and will not do it again, in conclusion, don't play occasionally if it will ruin your time and play with money you can afford to lose.

It's better to just do gambling, only if we intend to do it regardless if we are busy with our schedule or not.

It's good to play gambling if our interest is present at that particular time rather than just doing it because we want to make money even though our body is tired anymore because of all-day work. It's ok to gamble a bit after a tiring day of work or before going to sleep but not to the point that we will spend several hours playing on it which lessens our sleep hours already and a result, lack of energy at work and any other regular activities daily.

It would really be just that requiring some common sense if you do ask me, because on the time that you would really be able to make yourself wary on the situations that you are into
specially if you have seen that you had already affect out your own work.Then it would really be just that normal that you would really be making out some adjustments so that
it would really be making things look right again. We do know that once you have starting on having mismanagement with your time which causes for you to be that non efficient
when it comes to your work due to lack of sleep because of gambling then its normal that you would really be needing to have that adjustment.

It would really be that normal that you would really be seeing this to be disadvantageous on the time that you would be seeing your work is been affected.

I always tell myself that I won't play gambling games that depend on luck because they are games that consume a lot of time and easily make people play every day, I say this because the only day I played gambling games who depend on luck to win, that was more than 4 years ago, at that time I played for 5 hours of time without realizing that a lot of time had passed and I wasn't playing with a lot of money, it was little money. So after I finished playing I started thinking what would have happened if I had been playing with a lot of money and I stopped for hours to think about the seriousness of what had happened and I came to the conclusion that I should stop playing any game of chance. that depended on luck and just stick with sports betting

and even in the case of sports betting, I have only bet on football and specific tournaments such as the main European leagues and their cups, national team games when they are qualifying games for the euro, world cup, cup america, cup African nations. as cup games are events with a large time interval and games from the main European leagues are held on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. So I have little time to spend in casinos. because it only takes less than 2 hours a week to analyze and bet on the games I want and then I don't bet on anything, I just keep following the results of the games on Google. i.e. I spend less than 3 hours of time at the casino in a week. and I spend 3 months without placing a bet when the games in the main European leagues end

You need to have fun while gambling so it is important to be relaxed while doing it. If you get stressed while playing then you shouldn't be doing it because you are only harming your body even further. If you still want to gamble after work, give your body some time to rest before you get into playing. Gambling might be fun but you still use some serious brain juice while making decisions and a tired body will make things even worse. That's why the best time to gamble is the weekends I think. It is because you have much more time for everything. You can relax more and do many other things.

All forms of gambling are unlimited to the period a player wants to stay in a casino. Games like slots don't get hold of the player's time like card games. Hence, slot players, for instance, have enough control over how long they gamble. A person can also decide to quit playing a session with two or more players. That means he's lost the game. However, gamblers in the Op's context who gamble while busy or scheduled for an event wouldn't focus on making the right decisions while gambling. The casino is best visited, online or offline, when we've completed the scheduled task for the day. And wish to advance the day with fun and relaxation.

One can choose to visit the casino and try out luck while experiencing fun. This type of trouble is for most players. The impulse tries to magnet the player to try out quickly and meet up at the meeting or party. Two challenges could erupt. The player may end up not going there or arrive very late. Gambling is challenging to players, and staying careful at every given time is worth it. I don't think it's that simple to play out with gambling, because it requires monetary and mental strength. Hence, gambling causes a loss of control for some, they may do something wrong enough to terminate the trip or event. Being hurried, and overexcited are possible red flags in gambling.
