Topic: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it - page 7. (Read 1492 times)

The bolded text is what a gambler needs to become a responsible gambler. People fail to set rules for their gambling activities to help them limit their loses, and gamble responsible. Maybe it is because they decided to gamble in order to make profit or use gamble to change their lives.

Gambling only at a planned time, will help you gamble on your free time, because no one will fix his gambling time when he is busy with other important commitments. The moment a gambler notice that he is gambling against his will, he should avoid gambling at that period, because it shows sign of addiction.

It goes beyond just winning; it's about managing time, budget, and emotions effectively.  Imagine someone who can gamble responsibly, prioritize other aspects of life, and avoid letting the activity negatively impact their well-being.

The emphasis on choosing the right time to gamble is crucial.  Playing during free time ensures it doesn't interfere with responsibilities and maintains a sense of leisure.  Imagine gambling as a planned activity, not a way to fill empty time or escape from challenges.

The connection between clear thinking and responsible gambling is insightful.  Emotional decisions, like chasing losses fueled by ambition, often lead to poor choices.  Imagine approaching gambling with a clear head, setting limits, and sticking to them regardless of the outcome.

I really don't think to stop gambling if we don't have free time is a good expression but rather be saying, stop gamble when you have a lot of free time.

I see some gamblers gamble during their break just to stress out their workload. while some gamble after their office hours. That is a good practice indeed but should this really matter a lot? Limiting time when gambling is a part of gambling responsibly because the more we gamble, the closer we catch to addiction. I think 1-2 hours per day or every other day is quite enough to satisfy our gambling habits. If we can continue doing this, the more we appreciate the benefits of gambling in our lives ( stress reliever). Whereas, falling into addiction is the most likely thing to happen when we exceed our time limit.

We are expected to gamble t our free and leisure time, we should not introduce gambling at the official business hour because we are expected to make the balance between the two, if we don't work for money, how are we going to get the required fund needed for gambling that we want to do, we must learn to do things the proper way, in such a way that no any aspect of our life will be affected all because we are gambling.

Correct, I don't understand why the OP felt that he had to gamble every evening. Why such a rush? Do it whenever you're free. Where's the fun in pressuring yourself into doing something for which you practically have no available time? On top of that, the OP managed to mess up their sleeping schedule by staying away until midnight, which is extremely unhealthy in the long run if it becomes a habit. It's something that's supposed to be an entertaining activity, while gambling at midnight is the ideal way to make the wrong decisions due to exhaustion and quickly run out of money.

Yeah agree. Been there once it is like a computer game that consume almost all your time instead of taking it to regain strength the next day whether you are having a job or as a student. Really has bad results from this based on my experiences sleep is the most sacrificed thing on this and the consequence is that I become sleepy on my workplace especially the time when I play online casino few years back. But I already learned from that because most of has the same result which is losing our precious time and money.

It will undoubtedly disrupt your other activities if you insert it when it doesn't have a place in your schedule. Gambling should be considered an extra activity and not a necessity, so even if someone likes gambling very much, they need to make sure they schedule their gambling activities according to their regular schedule and do it in such a way that it shouldn't disturb other important activities and things such as your job and the time of your rest.

A lot of people make this mistake, students that have classes in the morning stay up late either to gamble or play games, people working in offices stay up late for some reason either gambling or something else, that is wrong and it shouldn't be that way. You should have your priorities set.

That's why, no matter how many reminders a gambler receives, it doesn't matter if he doesn't follow even one of those reminders, especially if the percentage of addiction he has in himself is high.

That's why having an addiction really isn't good for an individual gambler. That's why if I only play gambling, it's only twice a week and sometimes even once a week when I'm really busy; that's the routine of my gambling life.

That's right, we have to be responsible with the gambling we do by gambling with time limits, the same as playing online games, many young people stay up late every night spending their time just playing games. and of course this is not a good thing, therefore we must be able to have a time limit when gambling, because it is not good to gamble for a long time, it can affect our thinking, after all gambling that is done for a long time can trigger our emotions and gambling done with emotions tends to only bring problems.
Also, gambling has a strong attraction, even if the gambling is good, there is a possibility that it will take longer for us to gamble. This might happen to gamblers who don't have self-control. If with gamblers who have good self-control, maybe they won't do it. gambling for a long time, because there are still many things to do besides gambling which may also be more important than gambling.

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.
