Topic: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it - page 17. (Read 1886 times)

Anything that is taking your time to be productive at work or that is making your work hard for you, you need to quit that thing. Gambling can be fun but when the fun is up to taking someone's time and money, that is no longer fun but addiction and suffering. If anyone is having this type of addiction, the person should just quit gambling or just gambling only when he knows he has time for it. I as an example of someone that is gambling, I do not gamble during the weekdays but just during the weekends and it is not more than 1 hour each day.

If you don't have time to relax and you're always stressed out doing an activity that often causes stress - gambling - your results will deteriorate rapidly because you won't be able to listen to your inner voice and make informed decisions. Losing control is the easiest thing that can happen to you

Good advice.
We tend to forget the time when we are gambling. I know that because I've done it before and I can say that I understand what you went through because I also have been unproductive because of it.

A simple change is what I've done. I don't bring my smartphone with me when I go to bed. Or if I do, I will make sure that I won't open it. It's just there as an alarm clock so I can wake up early.
I think it's the same dilemma as those who are addicted to social media applications. They stay all night in bed because they brought their smartphone with them and they didn't know that browsing social media had been consuming their time. Worse, it will damage your eyes which might cause blurring of the eyes.
You did a great job. Time management is very important when it comes to our habits especially the bad ones like gambling.

Gambling at random does have it's advantage and disadvantage aswell, so I think it's actually relative but then ideally it's actually good you don't gamble if you don't have the time to make proper pick and at the end of the day you just keep loosing money, it will look like you are wasting fund but then since gambling is a game of luck, we can't put out the fact that there are sometimes that, we could be lucky even with the improper picks that you have made

If you want to gamble just for fun then you can go ahead and gamble as you like play whatever pick you want to make a d you may just get lucky or may lose aswell but then if you are gambling for the purpose of winning it's really good you take out time to analyze a d make a proper pick so as to increase your chances of winning.

This is a serious sign of gambling addiction if you do not have time and yet you try to prioritize it even if you are tired from work or very sleepy, those addicted gamblers are like this they don't care if they are tired or lack of sleep even lack of funds they will find a way to gamble.

This is why we see people who are addicted to gambling look haggard, mentally depressed, and always look tired because their bodies and minds cannot keep up with their addictions.
All they know is they want the feeling of satisfaction brought by the dopamine effect at the expense of their health.

Fortunately, you have made a quick call to change your habits as it will not only affect you physically, and financially but also mentally. You seem to already have a tight schedule which makes you so busy at work with your tasks here in this forum, if it happens to me, I don't know how to fit in my gambling habits because I'd rather choose to rest than spend my time in gambling.

Gambling, while you are exhausted, will highly affect your decision-making and how you take action in gambling. The result has already been decided even if you have not even started. Unless you are really lucky that whatever you do, you will win. 👌

I have implemented this for the past few months so that I only gamble on weekends, so on weekdays I really use it for work and family, sometimes we also need to allocate time for family, we don't have to gamble every day unless we are business people or unemployed who can gamble. every day, if we are workers, we should find the right and relaxing time to gamble, for example on holidays or weekends because we can be more relaxed when gambling without having to lose sleep because of gambling.

I almost often see some of my friends gambling at work and they often steal time to gamble while working which makes them less productive, I had time to wonder why they had time to gamble at work, even though playing at work is not their place. which is convenient for gambling because previously someone was fired because they were caught gambling at my place of work, so it's best to find a holiday or weekend to gamble so that you can gamble comfortably without having to think about oversleeping tomorrow because you have to go to work. After all, when playing gambling, you don't have to be too hasty to chase anything. Playing at the right time will make you more focused.  

Good advice, I believe you're right when someone doesn't have enough free time then that person should not gamble at all. That person may do some bets with lowest amount possible but not more than that. It's better to have some free time and do some research when you're betting, I mostly prefer sports book and in that research is most important.

I often give enough time to research before placing any bets. I avoid bets on daily basis, I bet on very few event once in a week or twice to thrice in a month. That's why I don't get addicted to gambling and I do it with full responsibility.

Even with that approach I face some losses which's part of gambling but I feel happy when most of my bets are winning ones. I don't consider gambling as a way to earn but a way to have some fun and that's why I don't bet on daily bases.

Involvement of an attitude that is very curious and really wants satisfactory result from gambling often causes gamblers to make quite fatal mistakes so that they end up experiencing various bad impacts which may make them feel difficult.
Time and money management is the most important part for gamblers to be able to protect themselves from various bad impacts that can occur at any time, this also allows gamblers to have controlled attitude and be able to be responsible gamblers.
But I see lot of gamblers who forget about managing their time and money when gambling until they end up spending their days just gambling and spending all the money they have.
Things like this are very easy to happen for beginner gamblers who still feel too happy about gambling and have desire to get much better winning results.

Good advice and it is highly recommended to gamble when only have free time, such as on weekends when are off work or there are no other important activities, this can help gamblers avoid several problems like the ones you have previously experienced.
Moreover, gambling every day without determining the right time to start and stop is also not good attitude and can have various bad impacts and unwanted risks.

However, management must still be applied in any case, especially in terms of managing time and finances, and I see from your story that you seem to have become one of the gamblers who is quite addicted because you are already quite dependent on always gambling every night after work and obviously it will greatly interfere with your life from various aspects and one of them is obviously very bad, on the time and finances you have, but on the other hand it is good because finally you can realize your mistakes that are too excessive in gambling involvement which ultimately makes you change it significantly for the better.

On the other hand I also have a friend who has the same approach and way of gambling as you, where he often gambles after work which is supposed to be the only time for him to rest but not with him and his habit is that he usually replenishes his digital wallet balance to me every time he comes home from work with the aim of playing at night until dawn, and a few weeks ago he had a bad incident which was like what you said that he lost fitness due to lack of sleep which made him experience an accident tragedy when he came home from work because he might not be able to withstand sleepiness and fatigue. The point is that the impact of excessive gambling can cause a lot of problems in your life and can also sometimes adversely affect the people around us.

As someone who enjoy his gambling activity from time to time, I totally get where you are coming from. I really understand how it is so tempting to spend every evening on online casinos, especially after a bad or hard day at work. But I have been there too where staying up late playing then struggling through the next day feeling tired and lazy to complete many tasks. It's a repetitive bad routine because not only do you lose out on sleep, but you end up losing much money too because you rush your bets to earn something or recover in before bed.

luckily I have learned many lessons in the hard way that made change my habits. Now I only gamble on some weekends when I have the time to really enjoy it without sacrificing my next day or my health. believe me it's made a huge difference how I was and what I have became. So I totally agree with your advice : don't let gambling change and interact with your schedule if you can't afford the time for it. It's not worth the stress and the risk of losing. Sharing such experiences helps others to learn it the easy way and not the hard way.

You are experiencing a sort like addiction and that is some symptoms that need to watch for since if you can't control your gambling habits then it affect your life totally then I guess you really need a help. What good thing you have been done there is you adjust on situation so that there's less damage can be created on your activities. But since you decide to continue I guess you might experience the same if you didn't correct all excessive actions and decision you have been done. Maybe best to check yourself and ask dome advice or guidance from your family or experts so that you can get a good advice that can help you get away on any possible risk of more deeper problems on gambling addiction.

Yeah I agree. I realized it’s already an addiction and luckily I snapped out immediately before my career was affected badly. I have a wake up call to change my pattern due to the physical stress it gives me to lack of sleep.

This is the time when slot games and live games is newly introduced to crypto casino after long period of dice, crash and other house games domination on crypto casino.

What’s your trigger that helps you stop? Mine is I can bear anymore the lack of sleep while working. It’s not really worth it considering I’m losing money too on my bad night in gambling.

It is an addiction. You are also losing which is another sign that it is an addiction. If you have stopped this habit, it will be good. If you do not stop, it may later has side effect on your health and which you will not like. I have this habit before but I have also stopped since few years ago. If you do not have time to gamble, do not gamble. If you want to gamble, gamble with little amount of money.

I’m always a victim of this mistake before when I’m still allure on online casino. I keep playing every night after work. I always play until midnight which makes me consume most of my rest time for my job preparation tomorrow.

The result is I don’t have much energy at work due to insufficient sleep and I lose funds on gambling because I keep playing quick due to my limited time. The effect is very disadvantageous to me since I both lose in these situations. This is the reason why I change my gambling pattern significantly that limit me to play only during weekends when I don’t have job tomorrow.

This is an advice based on my experience, don’t ever insert gambling on your schedule if you really don’t have free time for it because it will always result to disaster in both gambling and your life.
