Topic: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it - page 4. (Read 1886 times)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I've been really thinking about this one lately, and I am very frustrated. I can win some for a day if I have the time, like a lot of time, maybe half a day, but you know you have things to do like go to work, go with your friends and loved ones, and of course for yourself too, like going out, watching movies, or maybe playing games. You don't want to give up those things just for gambling, right? And also, of course, when it is nighttime, you will become frustrated because you are not making any progress on your gambling funds, and you will be eager to win more and end up losing that night. 

Thanks for the advice, I think I need to made some changes on this plan of mine to work.

            -     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.

Well said.
Discipline solves the problem.  As you have rightly said, the main defense should be, not allowing yourself to be dominated by gambling. When dominance kicks in you become a slave to it leading to addiction, over-gambling, and also risking much without any set rules or control.

So the earlier we build our system to fight against all this, then only can we play the game and not be played, thus helping us take into consideration other areas of our life. Without our system surely we will be consume by the system.

Yes, gambling is just to enjoy the fun, so gambling must be played when you have free time without being related to other activities and main work, if we follow these instructions then emotions and self-control can be controlled without gambling greed and of course not targeting gambling games to recover losses. if you aim to make a profit to get additional income then they are not ready to accept defeat, so the same loss will always occur in gambling sessions, they will never enjoy gambling games because they ignore the fact that gambling has a high chance of losing, because no matter how much money they prepare To bet, you have a small chance of getting a high win and a high risk that you will lose half or even all of your betting funds. So gamble responsibly and set the lowest allocation of funds for gambling.

Well, as much as I agree with you, I would also say that sometimes, we can't deny the fact like a thing or two could come up that could make us to promptly visit a casino in other not to miss the opportunity, for example, maybe a friend discovers an ongoing game, what some of us term as a sure bet, and decided to call you up to take part in the bet for an opportunity to win some really good amount of money depending on how much you were able to bet.

When I was still actively playing lotto here in my country, I can remember alot of times I has to take excuse or permission from my working place to quickly go out and place a bet on some lotto numbers that was sent to me by a friend, back then, we had a network of individuals who we often referred to as insiders, they 90 percent of the time know what numbers will play because they worked closely with the lotto officials, all they usually do is, secretly pass those numbers across to us and we bet big money on them, and after we win and claim the money, we give them their cut, usually around 25 to 30 percent of the profit made.

Things like this can still come in-between a gambler and their other daily activities, most especially if the gambler is a seriously committed gambler, so, in essence, only playing gambling when totally free all depends on the type of gamble a person is, a hardcore gambler will definitely suspend everything he or she is doing to play gambling when ever an opportunity appears in the market.

Accepting a gambling issue is tough. It's like facing your worst fear knowing only you can hurt yourself. Unfortunately, the house always wins when people chase that high. Despite it, they wager everything in hopes that this time will be different.

The key is moderation, which you mentioned. Gambling may be fun; a little money, a little risk, exhilaration.  Finding that stimulating, non-destructive balance is key.

What's wrong with gambling is how it dominates. If losing is inconceivable and a person can't walk away, addiction begins. However, self-awareness and discipline help you fight back. You should enjoy the game without being consumed by it. Maintain control and limits. You play the game without being played.

Yes this is the reason why gambling addiction can come consciously or unconsciously but most gamblers do not realize that they have entered the addiction phase and even sometimes they also do not want to admit that they are addicted when someone asks. All this happens because they are wrong or too excessive in terms of treating gambling activities, usually they always prioritize gambling based on expectations such as wanting to win so that when they lose they are unable to accept the defeat and this is a situation where they will enter the phase of pursuing recovery which however you can never pursue because the possibility of defeat will always lurk every time you gamble.

In the end yes you enter the addiction phase without realizing it, and as you said that the best approach in the long run to gambling is to have involvement without overdoing it, such as gambling with a small budget amount along with limiting your gambling time, it is always about these two things that are key because usually the disease of most gamblers is when they are unable to accept defeat which in turn gambles impulsively which will lead them to bad effects.

All gamblers are prone to loss, so quitting would not be the best idea, because such person may still return  to gambling with that same mindset of experiencing only wining or more wining. Besides if you gamble with small stakes you wouldn't even feel the impact of losing your money, it is advised that a gambler limits his stakes and spend less time gambling else he might get addicted and even loss some of his property because of gambling. But when you have discipline all you need is to restructure your gambling schedule and stake, if possible keep a specific amount to be used for gambling, and never try to exceed that amount.

People fail to realise that they are slowly getting addicted to gambling, when once something has started to be a priority to you and you give it so much time even at the expense of other important stuff, you should check yourself. Yeah and more over in your case you even losing to such a habit and you didn't know you were slowly getting addicted to gambling.

Gamble with what you can afford to lose and never spend much time on it, like it's been month now since I last opened my sporty app and that's because I busy with other things or I'm not ready for it yet and that's a sign that I'm still in control.

Indeed, it would be better for those who are very tired and have experienced many losses at gambling. It would be better for them to stop gambling, because if we continue gambling, of course this will make us continue to experience losses which will result in us not being able to meet our own needs.
