Topic: When you are not to gamble. - page 10. (Read 6757 times)

I think it is great when you don't gamble and yes I am serious about it.I have started to be more relaxed psychologically and have less stress without gambling.Even when I used to win I felt good only for the moment and after a few hours I was again thinking about gambling and starting to gamble again.This gave me a lot of anxiety until I lost all the money I had won and after that the sadness,stress and tiredness followed so gambling can be really stressful for people who have not the greatest of self control.

Yeah, I think that is a good idea.

Basically having boundaries, or limits, is a great way to not end up bankrupt.

It doesn't matter if you lose it all, if all that you are betting is a controlled amount.

The thing is that most of the time the gambler will end up losing it all, so it is a good idea to limit that amount.

Yes, this post is like: it's simple, but ignored by most.

I add:

Just because your friend is having luck in betting doesn't mean you should keep betting. The game is individual.

There is no such thing as luck, what exists is randomness, someone is "lucky", either you are the payer or the receiver, in most cases, you will be the payer, so look for games where it does not depend exclusively on luck (being the payer or the award recipient).

Never break the bank: set an amount that you are willing to lose, set a ceiling, if your losses exceed X amount, stop betting and just come back another day, go reflect on life, try to relax.

The same goes for winnings, set a goal: daily gain of 5, 10, 50, 100$, if you reach that amount, withdraw around 50% of the winnings and leave the rest to bet.

That's right, and I think maybe that's one of the reasons why there are some gamblers who always dedicate themselves excessively, they think that the more often they gamble the closer they will be to winning, and clearly that is a very wrong mindset, because it is precisely what will happen is the opposite, in the sense that instead of generating lots of wins, they will only experience more losses. The proof is that not all acts of greed always produce something that meets expectations, right? of course, because in gambling there is no connection between the previous result and the next result, in the sense that if, for example, you win now, it doesn't mean that in the next session you will win again, because still that can never be known, and that's the reason why gambling is called an activity that can never be predicted.

I'm not saying that you will always lose, but what is certain is that you will only win when luck comes at the right time. On the other hand, everyone has common sense in their mind which will serve to consider everything before making a decision, and is also useful for distinguishing between what is right and what is wrong, and if they force themselves to gamble when they are in other activities like at work, for example, this clearly means that they cannot use common sense and rational thought patterns well so they are unable to differentiate between what should be prioritized in that situation. between work or gambling.

I agree with you, it’s better to separate work and games. It’s better to devote more free time to games, so you can better concentrate on the game and not be distracted by other things.
In addition, if the game brings a loss at work, then the mood will be spoiled and work that day is unlikely to be good.

People always think that the more money and time spent will maximize their winnings, even though nothing has changed, they still lose and become losers because they can't beat the dealer, everyone should be able to think that gambling is just a game for just have fun so there's no need to play it when you're busy or working, working hours should be used for work, not for gambling, there won't be any change in taking working hours just for gambling, gamble in a relaxed time and with a calm heart so you can enjoy the game, Shouldn't gambling be enjoyed and not chased after things that really shouldn't be pursued, for example, if you want money, work well and if you want entertainment, gamble in peace. 

Timing is also one of the criteria to choose whether to play or not to play. Besides, you should also look at the inspiration on that day, it is really suitable for a game of gambling or do we actually need more peace and quiet? Excessive impatience only leads to more damage in gambling, gambling does not necessarily become a regular activity for breaks or holidays, simply a method of reference after other leisure activities, don't let games invade your private time, there are many more legitimate activities around

their is always this necessity that requires a gambler to actually gamble when he or she is actually free and that's include every activity that could influence the thoughts of that gambler and one of the most stressful activity for every human is actually the stress that comes with work well although I know not everyone has the same nature of work but 70% of gamblers should fall under this category.

When to gamble is not a big deal, players just need to set out a special time for their gambling activities. Looking at the experiences mentioned on the Op, it's quite important for players to observe their results and draw a line on when to stop. Because, they are mental impacts winning after losing multiple times puts on the player. It'll be dragging the player to focus on gambling more and recovering the whole lost money. Gambling during working hours is not advisable and affects a player's productivity on the long run.

Some players who claim don't have enough time for gambling due to their working ethics and schedule, end up shuttling gambling and work. But, one can't come up with such ideas of not having enough time, and claim it's true. There is no way few free hours won't be made out in a day for gambling. It's already the player's mindset and he thinks gambling during working hours is the only available time for playing games.

It is better not to gamble at all when at break from work because if we start gambling what is then the time we spent on the break which is meant to be spent on refreshing ourselves, I think it is better to gamble only on off days, that is when we don't have any work and free from work for at least a day.


Sometimes I prefer to book my gambling section to weekends, that is when I don't have any official work, and I only allocate a small portion of time on gambling for the weekend.

Yes, responsibility in gambling is always an ability that is recommended, or what this means is that every gambler is always advised to have good responsibility in himself when making a decision, and in my opinion the benefit of gambling responsibly is that it makes us accept whatever happens in our lives. the end of the session as a result of decisions that we have executed previously, where by having this ability we will avoid various impulsive actions such as chasing losses to return something that was previously lost. '

And regarding the problem of dividing each time according to portions, such as not gambling when you are busy because of other activities, in my opinion it is more directed at how well you manage your time, this also depends on whether you are able to differentiate between something that is more important and something which is not too important, for example when you are on working hours then obviously dedicating yourself to fully focus on work is the best decision compared to mixing it with other activities such as gambling, one of them.

Yes accountability is a big thing those who cannot hold themselves accountable suffer greatly. you are responsible for your failures in your life so that responsibility must be within you. If not, you'll end up stumbling around in different places. If you are addicted to gambling it will waste your money, time, your health.  So you have to be responsible in all cases so that you can avoid the terrible trap of gambling otherwise you will have to face many problems.  and to avoid these problems you have to be responsive in all cases.

But how to deal with this if the player has poor self-control and constantly strives to find a few minutes or even half an hour to play.  As a result, a lunch break at work is very appropriate.  And instead of resting and eating quietly, such a player quickly eats everything and grabs his mobile phone to continue the game.  But work time after lunch still comes, forcing him to interrupt the game.  The result is not an interesting game, but chaos and a stupid pastime. 

Therefore, advice: never start playing during your lunch break.  This game will most likely lead to defeat and loss of your money and unnecessary worries.  You need to start playing only when there are no events ahead that will force you to stop playing at an exact specific time.  Lunch break is not suitable for this at all.

It's been advised for dudes to spend wisely and it's been advised for gamblers to gamble responsibily, gamble responsibily doesn't only mean that a gambler should gamble with what he can afford to lose only. Gambling responsibly also means that a gambler should gamble when he's not busy with jobs activities. Money and time is important to everyone and anyone who doesn't understand that is not ready for anything, time is used to make money and when you are free or you have gotten when you wanted that's when you can gamble. However it's good not to gamble during job hours.

In my opinion, playing online casinos in the workplace is not only unacceptable from the point of view of corporate discipline, but also poses a serious risk to the preservation of the workplace. By being distracted by gambling at such an inopportune moment, a person risks not only losing concentration at work, but also exposing himself to the possibility of being caught and fired.

Therefore, I believe that for the safety and productivity of work, it is best to leave gambling entertainment on the doorstep. At home, you can enjoy playing at the casino without unnecessary risks and distractions, completely devoting yourself to this process. Ultimately, a reasonable division of time and place for gambling will help not only to maintain work efficiency, but also to enjoy the excitement to the fullest, avoiding possible negative consequences.

Playing gambling at the office is too risky because we don't knows who is watch us, even if that is break. We can lose our focus to work if we playing gambling at our office and that can effect to what we do. We don't have to playing gambling when we are busy, doesn't have money, or recover our lose because we don't have a big chance to wins the money. It's better we playing gambling in our spare time so we can enjoy the gambling games.

I also playing gambling at home where I can feel relax and not doing anything except enjoy my spare time. But I don't playing gambling too often because I knows that I can't wins the money so I feels that it's better I just playing gambling for fun. That will helps me to kills my boredom and when I back to my daily activity, I can refresh my minds.

Apparently, such employees who are concerned about gambling, which involves betting tied to a certain time, seem to any employer as not very good employees, simply because he understands that these players will be constantly distracted from their main job and place these bets at the right time, regardless of the impact on their main work. 
They will naturally be distracted by such bets because they consider them important to themselves.  I think that if an employer finds out in advance about such a passion for gambling in a candidate for a job in his company, then the chances of being hired are significantly reduced.
 Therefore, many players try to keep their passion for gambling secret.  And this is absolutely justified

I would never want to gamble at the office hours or at times where I am time-bound to end the game because there is ongoing important work.
Gambling is meant to have fun and should be done in leisure time. I prefer to gamble at times i am at home or at night when i am free from all the stuff.
By the way, if anyone is betting, they maybe we have to place bets even during the job or business hours because those are time bound and may be missed if we do not place the bet at the right time. For example you will get different odds if you place a bet before the match start and during the match.

That's the fear, moreover gambling has an invisible attraction, in my opinion there is a high probability that they can continue gambling even though their rest hours are over. Unless indeed the gambler has very good self-control so that he can restrain himself from excessive gambling in time. Because indeed when the break time is over but still gambling it is not a good thing because it can make them lose self-control and can make them forget about the work they should do with focus and well in order to produce good results, moreover if they manage to stop but their thoughts are still on gambling it can interfere with work being unfocused and of course it can make work chaotic because the focus is divided.
Of course, with them having limits this will not happen, because their thoughts that can be controlled will not lead them to excessive gambling, and of course that's good so having limits on gambling is important, although it is true as you said it is not wrong to gamble during work breaks as long as they have strict limits.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with someone gambling during their break from work, but they must have limits when gambling and don't let their work break finish when they are still gambling, of course this is not good so they cannot concentrate on their work. and also the gambling that they do and obey it would be very good if someone who gambles can set limits when gambling and can manage their gambling time not too often so that they will not become addicted to gambling.
