Topic: The shorter the time you spend the better - page 8. (Read 1365 times)

And when you spend 20 minutes a day, do not try to be greedy. I think one of the major things (if not the major thing) that makes people lose their money is greed, and the betting platforms know this. You win a large amount of money and the company laughs at you because you’ll likely want to win a couple more and then just then, you lose everything you won and then lose a couple more. So, don’t try to play smart with greed in that 20 minutes you decide to gamble. Gamble slowly and steadily.

Sports betting also seems better to me not to spend money too quickly even if the time required is quite long. rather than doing other types of gambling where losing money in a short time is unavoidable if you don't know what you are doing. an example like a slot game I played a few days ago that made my $50 disappear in just a matter of minutes. Sports betting also provides full insight into the team's abilities, as well as how to carry out team analysis to determine who will be the mascot for betting.

Exactly since why on earth they are still playing while in first place they afraid to lose? A true gambler should face the consequences that they have chance to lose. What matter the most there is the discipline we do since we could lose huge if we are betting without even thinking or use larger bet for thinking we can earn a lot of money from doing it.

If they just want to be safe much better if they quit since that is the best way not to lose their money but if they want to get another way to get entertained and exercise their brain thru competition happening then I guess gambling will be one of their nicest option to choose.

If your logic is: "the longer the time you spent the more you lose", then why would you propose to spend any time on gambling at all? Wouldn't the best strategy be just not to play?
But some gambling activities, such as sports betting, could be profitable, as they don't follow strict math rules and players can find opportunities where they have an advantage over the house. But even then, you have to account for the time spent on analysing odds/statistics etc or on watching games. Oftentimes it's just not worth it, e.g. if you make $20 profit but invest 8h of your time to achieve that, you effectively worked for $2.5/hour.

This is quite reasonable. When we spend more time on gambling, of course we will be interested in placing bets again and again. Sometimes, no matter how strong our financial management is, when we spend a lot of time gambling, we will be more easily tempted to place bets again. so sometimes what we have planned will easily falter at certain moments. So it really makes sense that we really have to limit our time on the gaming platform and provide good and wise time management to avoid things that can shake our initial plans.

When time, financial and emotional management is running according to normal and what we expect, then this will really help us to avoid gambling addiction. And it can encourage us to get gold moments in gambling which can actually be optimal for our time in gambling. So it really requires cooperation from the three managements so that we can be better able to control ourselves and optimize results in gambling.

Even though the problem is sometimes complicated and not that easy. Because sometimes, various temptations always go hand in hand with what we do. And determination here is also needed to be able to implement the strategy that we have prepared. We need it all because we are aware that gambling is high risk. And we are the ones who bear that risk.

But the thing or the whole point of this experiment we are talking about I believe it is to replace the fruststrion which comes because of loss of money with some frustration because one has a limited period of time to gamble or have fun.
What would you prefer for example? To continue to gamble as much time as you want knowing you will in the end loss money and quit in frustration, or limit your time to save a good percentage of your money which would be otherwise lost to the casino?

If I had to choose, I believe I would rather to feel frustrated for the timeout rather than the sadness of seeing my money to go away.

By the way, we are taking about an strategy which obviously require a good amount of self control, otherwise, it does bot matter how much one tries to reduce their gambling time, because to respect those money changing habits one needs to resist the urge which push us to continue to gamble and roll dices. For now, I am in a position where I still have enough will power to stop and log out the casino account when I feel I have had enough. And I intend not to lose such mental state 

I agree, although it's easier said than done. When you see gambling as a way to make you become rich or a source of income, you won't be able to follow these principles.
What you said is true but not in cases though.
I'm into sport betting more than other casino games, when I play casino games I usually don't spend much time there, not because I don't want to be an addict or because I'm following any principle to be honest, it's simply because I lose money too fast there. In sport betting, the more you spend time in it, the more you learn and get experience and understand the strength of these teams. It's analytics, and you need to study data to understand analytics. Lol.

But even in sport betting, there's such a thing as unhealthy amount of time. Time when a person could use to be productive, it would be very unwise to spend it all on gambling.

It is very important to set your own target before doing anything. If a gambler fixes a certain amount of time and a certain day before gambling, there is less chance of losing money. Chances of losing money will be less because if he can win some amount of money in that short period of time then he will not take extra time to gamble which will keep his gambling profit. When a gambler thinks that he has won a gamble and if he gambles more he might win more then it is a big mistake for the gambler at that time. If there is a profit and at the end of the specified time, he should come out of the casino at that time and plan for the next date how he will profit on the next date. If he continues to gamble, he will lose his capital as well as the amount of money he has won.

That's right, there is no clarity of certainty whatsoever in gambling and that's why I think it's very appropriate to say that gambling is gray, and the other reason you have mentioned that what works for one person will not fully work for another, meaning that everyone has a different fate in gambling, and therefore it makes no sense if you try the methods of others who have won with the intention of having or achieving the same victory, on average the end result does not match and is still disappointing.

Yes, not everyone has good strength in terms of finance, that may be one of the factors for people who choose to avoid gambling in addition to the impact and risks are also quite large, even if they have money to budget for gambling but on the other hand I often see that some of them are still confused about determining the amount or that means they don't have plans and regulations regarding how much they should allocate, so that something out of control can happen such as excessive gambling activities whether in terms of money or time because they don't have plans and limits. About spending a lot of time I think it is not always because of the type of game they choose, but the seriousness and high expectations that make them not remember the time to go home.

It is true that if we engage in gambling activities for too long, this will bring us closer to feeling addicted to gambling itself. Because this will give rise to bad habits. Whether we have a lot of free time or not, we must be able to organize our gambling activities as much as possible. Because if we don't get used to it from now on, then when we find new activities other than gambling, it will be like working. To be able to divide and manage time will be a difficult thing for us to do. We have to get used to gambling in a controlled manner so that it doesn't interfere with other activities.
but it all comes back to us personally, because what I think is good, may not necessarily be what other people think is good too. We can always extend this gambling activity and we can also shorten this gambling activity. It depends on the capital we spend when gambling and depends on our behavior when gambling.
However, it seems important for us to be able to regulate this gambling activity better, so that it does not interfere with other activities and cause large losses.

I do not think that gambling is white or black. I think it is grey. What may work for one may not entirely work for the other unless it has been modified. And because we are from different regions of the world, our reality about gambling is different it is complex based on so many factors. While some may not have a specific amount for gambling per week some may gamble per month or heavily on some weeks and lightly on some others. We may not have a favourite day to gamble it may be when we get the urge to do so. In response to spending so much time, it comes to what type of game that the person is gambling on. It is just for one to be time conscious and do gamble to the extent that other aspects of your life suffers significant growth and progress.

Definitely. The longevity doesn't mean that much in gambling, it's always either you win or lose on overall time you've sent with gambling. Contrary to popular belief that gamblers who have gambled for a very long time tends to have more losses than winnings, it is not true thus this doesn't have so much data to support.

Yeah, just like me, I don't spend hours and hours on gambling, I'm betting on sports, E-sports, play table games but it won't take me an hour or two before I quit because I just do it to entertainment myself. But I can say that I've lost than I won to those bets/money.

It really depends what goal you are trying to achieve, if your goal is to profit then so be it, play longer but to entertain yourself I think it will only require another boredom from yourself.

Minimizing time for gambling is very crucial because one benefit is to carry out other essential works in remaining hours and another benefit is that lesser you involved in gambling lesser will be your loss therefore don't extend the time period for gambling. Control your emotions and once you loss money then try for another day or week but dont work more than 20 minutes or an hour because in such situations you will expose your money more to losing habitat.

Just use few dollar for gambling per week so if you win with that amount you will be lucky and will be able to continue gambling next week but if you Loss such amount then your money will not undergo through loads of loss to make you poor means you will have limited number of loss with limited amount of money.

A responsible gambler does not have to be controlled or given a suggestion to take or go for before knowing what is best for him to do, just as you've said, he might get frustrated because he's willing to spend his time on gambling and you're suggesting to him yo have a reduced gambling handling time, it's not actually by how long we spent while gambling, but the usefulness and quality of what we have vested our time on in gambling, so it's a thing of no one should call another to order except they determined by themselves to do so, tht may be the very best moments of their leisure gambling.

It pretty much depends on the approach you have and the point of view each one of the gamblers could have when comes to their gambling sessions. While what you say could be regarded as true and anyone of us would likely lose money the longer we partake in casino games during the same session, I would like to point out that the time factor would easily Impact negatively in the amount of fun we are able to get while playing.
For example, the other day I decided to spend some time playing Blackjack on Stake, I told myself I did not want to get hooked up much time because I would lose money I would not be planing to use for gambling, so I only played Blackjack three times and ended up with a minuscule profit of some cents.
According to your recommendation I was responsible and did not play much, but in my eyes, the fun I got was way too short and I could easily continue to play up to 20 times more.

That being said, I believe (while being a responsible gambler is important) telling a gambler that he is supposed to tightly monitor their casino time will to lead to frustration because of the short period of times they would be allowed to enjoy their session. It would be the equivalent of having a child and give him a new Nintendo, only for us to take it away from his hands 5 minutes later and say he is only allowed to play Mario Bros 5 minutes per day.

In that context, who would not feel frustrated as a child? It would happen the same to gamblers, I believe.  

Those who can't accept losing but can't accept it are really new and crazy gamblers and because of all this excitement they keep on gambling even after losing again and again. My advice for gambling is once a day you can play any gamble but whatever you win or lose strengthen your attitude. Personally i gamble almost every day but my capital is small. I don't have any fixed day or time because when I have money in my pocket i deposit some money and gamble with some money.

Luck does not depend on how much time you spend gambling. You can play all day and only lose, or you can win in just a few minutes. It is more important here is the place of intuition than the time spent. The right moment to make a bet is the determining factor

I think @OP is right in saying that the longer you spend, the more you lose. We must be able to limit ourselves to gambling so that we don't experience too many losses. However, many gamblers don't want to stop in a short time because they are still not satisfied with gambling. Apart from that, some gamblers have experienced a lot of losses, so they want to recover their losses first before they stop gambling. This will make them lose more and more, and they can also lose self-control to keep limiting the money they use for gambling. Playing gambling must always be limited by money and time, and this clearly gives us the opportunity to avoid problems that will arise from gambling. Certainly, we can avoid the many defeats that many gamblers have faced. Apart from that, we can protect our money from being immediately used for gambling.

This is too radical advice, maybe you have a specific gambling experience (and you think that it can be extended to everyone else), or you are far from gambling in general.
Explain to me how I can spend a maximum of 20 minutes on gambling if, for example, I prefer to place live bets on tennis (or football) matches? The game itself lasts much longer and if we are talking about tennis, you have to make a lot of bets to try to catch value, and if we are talking about football, then you can wait almost an hour for the right moment to bet.

Or, for example, let’s take the most popular (at least in all polls it is always in the top) game - Dice. Many people like to play here using autobetting and custom algorithms, the most popular case being martingale. Even taking into account the fact that now many casinos offer fast bets (when up to 10 bets are made per second), it sometimes takes much more than 20 minutes to enjoy the process and “catch” a loss. Especially if you bet on 1.1 and then multiply your bet tenfold after a loss, and multiply it tenfold again after two losses in a row.

It’s the same story with poker - what serious game can you play with so little time? Only some multi-tables, but ordinary players don’t like such fuss and chaos, but pros who live from this.

In general, your advice makes sense (don’t spend a lot of time on gambling, don’t get addicted to it), but there are many options when short gaming sessions are simply pointless and will not provide the required pleasure.

That's right, the other person or even the casino is never involved with the scenario you approach gambling, the wrong mindset is one of the biggest triggers why you can get into the addiction zone. Well done, you have given very good advice and warnings here by observing some things that need to be done for prevention so that we do not get carried away and enter the addiction phase. I think some of the lists you've suggested above will be very useful for those who are already addicted or especially those who are just coming into it.

Limiting the amount of daily/monthly or yearly budget is very important and try to only put the amount that you can afford, don't be careless to try to put a larger amount because it is lured by a win that seems tantalizing, it's a trap believe me. Not only that, in terms of time should also really be considered, most people can get into addiction because they are too often involved in gambling so that they are carried away unconsciously. Therefore we must have other things to do when you are really feeling lonely such as doing other activities in your real life, homework or whatever. Because the fact is that the more free time you have, the more likely you are to remember gambling, so don't let yourself have too much free time. The rest I totally agree with the idea of the statements in the list you suggested, that's great mate.
