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.
That's a really good point, most people focus on the monetary aspect of gambling and forget that it also requires time we need to spend at the casinos. That time we spend gambling has a value, even if it's only indirect in taking sleep away from us and reducing our performance at work. For me it's only time for gambling if I finished all other task of the day, which is usually at night. I also spend some nights on the weekends gaming and have to choose in the end if rather continue my favorite campaign or visit a online casino. In both cases it's important to set a fixed time window for gambling and gaming, otherwise I could stay up all night. I had to learn it the hard way as a teenager.
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.
