Yes, indeed the risks are imminent and you cannot ignore the things that can be done to achieve better performance, I have always started from something, work is sacred, you should not invent or try to do something else that is not contemplated in the things that must be done within that time range, because it is as you say, if a person starts playing in a casino During work hours , if they see him on the cameras it is very possible that they will give him a call of attention and obviously it is a shame that it happens like this, because things cannot be taken that way, if someone is discovered and they are called to attention, I think that a second call is no longer possible because that could mean a dismissal and that if eqeu It is serious, the work we do must be impeccable , it must be done with a great amount of conscience and can generate many things such as contributing to the company for which we are working, that is why we are always going to be there pending. not to do the wrong things.


I don't know how some people can risk their jobs by playing, because it is something that is not in me, plus I see that as a lack of respect for the company and for oneself as a professional and that is something that has to be seen as something that It should not be done, those who do it should do it during their off hours, there is nothing else that can be discussed, because risking your job just like that, I think it is not worth it, if you are not satisfied with the job. that you have, well it's easy, you quit and that's it, this is how you should fix everything, not by going through hardships and putting several bad things in your job, that can Damage the reputation of anyone working in companies, things don't They can be taken that way, therefore when we are at work we must do everything possible to comply with what we must do and with what the company demands.

Yeah, it doesn't really help that much.

When you start your day in negative and then go to work just to break even, or sometimes even worse.

It's not a nice life to live really.

When it comes to gambling then it should really be done on the right time and on the right place because if you would really be doing gambling on your work then you are really that having the possibilities
that you might be losing your work because of perfomance and efficiency kind like of issues on which it cant really be avoided specially that someone do really sees on the things that you've been doing.
It cant really be just be avoided that you would really be facing up some issues on the time that you would really be doing gambling in your work. Just like on the rest been saying that
that there would really be an exact right time for you to play and  there is the right time for you to do work. Both things cant really be done at the same time, you are putting up yourself on such risks.

Like what I mentioned,  it's better to separate your gambling activities to your work schedule,  if you don't want to create any messed with your job, you should take all the responsibilities and complete what you are being paid for, the leisure should  be separated as it should be done outside your workplace,  being professional is also  being responsible,  else, you will both messing with your financial source and your potential gambling addiction.

Actually I can remember a time of gambling in work quite a while ago.   In the dot com boom of 2000 there was alot of websites tracking the markets trying to raise traffic and giving out free bets for regular visitors.  Before BTC came along the most similar 'small' transaction was micro advertising revenue that was the life blood of quite a few small sites and operations, really not a currency but the closest thing to online digital revenue or flow of value was that bit of advertising.   Anyhow me and a couple people would spend time to enter the free bets and contests while waiting at any point in the office, not proper gambling because you cant spend more then a minute but officially not allowed either.   Im sure quite a few people spend time doing similar, the problem I would state with some gambling is that it cant be paused hence is disruptive to work be cautious.

If it's because of adrenaline, we still want to continue gambling while we still have to work and have to choose what we should do. But if we are working, we should not gamble but should really work well because we get a salary from our workplace. We must not waste the opportunity to work at our workplace because there are many people out there who are still looking for work and really hope to be accepted for work. Meanwhile, we have worked and earned a salary, so we have to use it seriously.

Yes, we have to be able to work professionally, especially if we work in a team with other people. If they find out that we are gambling, it will definitely be troublesome because in the workplace, there are definitely people who don't like us, and that is a normal thing that happens in many workplaces. Don't let us get into trouble just because we play gambling, which is not appropriate to do at work.

Sometimes I would gamble before work because some baseball would start before it. Either made the day really fun, or bad. So I stopped because there is no point going into work mad because of a bet.

Gambling is something of luck and we can stand to conclude of gambling risks and diverting your time you use for gambling for anything else, I know quite well that gambling have to do with different risk measures, if you have the momentum to gamble then gamble because that particular day you gamble might be your good time to gamble with goodluck and other things I know very well, so what I'm saying is that anyone who brings out its time to gamble so we should not look at like that.

Moreover, people who gamble at any time and in any place are more likely to be addicted. or beginners who are so interested in playing at the casino that they forget the time and place.
This is not a matter of profit or loss, but perhaps more about the work ethics and integrity of an employee. because it is unethical for an employee to do something else while he is still at work. whether they are busy at work or relaxing, employees are not paid to do other pleasures that are not related to their work.

Overall I'm sure there must be people who do gambling activities at work, one of the scenarios maybe they feel that the work is done but the time is still not showing the time to go home so with that maybe they will take advantage of that time to try their luck, on the other hand I understand that in this scenario your work is done but I think it would be better if you don't do other activities and it's better to use that time to rest without doing other activities. especially in general gambling has a bad view in the eyes of society and the worry is that your boss may find out about your gambling activities during working hours. especially in general gambling has a bad point of view in the eyes of society and the worry is that your boss may find out about your gambling activities during working hours, of course it will be a new problem that should not happen and maybe your boss is one of those people who hates gambling and finally there is absolutely no tolerance for the mistakes you make and in the end the possibility of losing your job could happen to you. Therefore, of course we must be someone who is responsible for whatever we do, one of which is by being able to divide each time according to the schedule of daily activities that you have.

You could theoretically also use that time to actually do some leisure work and get paid a bit extra on the side.

Gambling on the other hand is most probably going to reduce your amount of money in the long term.

Gambling while working is indeed a common thing among office workers. because they think when they have free time instead of just scrolling social media that does not produce anything they start switching to gambling sites.
But keep in mind, because it is only for leisure time, as you said. never set a winning target. even if you get a little winnings it is more than enough when compared to the time wasted if you only use free time to play social media.

Many of the people had not shared their own experiences here,because they may sided with the society.But many of the gamblers from the beginning get attached to the gambling game,they also addicted to gambling if they made huge loss at the end.The gamblers who had been playing in the gambling to recover their losses will not be work at the end.Because the gamblers who chase the loss will always get into the loss,the gamblers should play the game without any target on the game.The essential one for the gamblers who have been successful will be playing the game without targets.They satisfy will less profit in the game.

Yes because of that adrenaline, you want to keep playing and you want to continue that desire, it's really annoying when you need to go back to work when you are already enjoying the game, or if you are losing and you wanted to cope with the money, things that will risk your job when you gamble during the time of your work.

It's better to seperate your time with your work to avoid this kind of emotion that may lead you to gambling addiction.

Time at work is not for personal use, it is a paid time for input and productivity, hence, personal engagements should not be considered except it has to do with health else its a non productive time. How do you even pay someone and you find him gamblling while at work?

It is entirely condemned and frowned at on all fronts and employers with such employees are to take disciplinary actions immediately. There is time for everything.

If you are gambling when you are supposed to be working, it doesn’t make any sense to me, but if you are gambling when you are free at work, then I don’t see anything bad in that, you can just be having fun, and I don’t think it’s going to affect your work performance at all. But when you are at work hour and still gambling, it doesn’t make sense to me because you are going to be distracted and you won’t give your work full attention, which will affect you. If you want to gamble, then maybe when you are on break at work, you can just decide to gamble for a few minutes before you resume work, and if you are resuming back to work, then you have to stop gambling immediately, don’t gamble during the work hour.

The feeling of not wanting to go back to work anymore and wanting to continue gambling will appear when you have to go to work again and it will not be good for you if you do it again. Your focus at work will be disturbed because you might think about gambling rather than your work. We have to know our limits and priorities so that if we are working, it is better not to gamble during work breaks because it can make us unfocused and less enthusiastic about working again. It's better if we just hold it in until we're home again so that gambling at home won't bother anyone. By knowing what our priorities are, we will not violate anything, and if it is work, we will not violate the rules at work because the job is what gives us a salary, so we must be able to focus on work.

I sometimes gamble a small amount during work breaks, and sometimes I feel like I don't really want to go back and just continue on playing.
But we should know our limits and priorities, don't let gambling ruin your life specially if you already have a stable job.
Always know what your priority is, your job would give you stability to provide for your family, gambling doesn't guarantee that you would always have a profit.

I think it is better not to gamble during office work. If we are addicted to gambling by skipping office work, it can bring great danger to us. So we have to eliminate these bad habits in time, otherwise there is a possibility of losing.  I think it is better to enjoy gambling in free time because then the fun of gambling in free time is different. And if someone starts gambling in the gap of office work, he will be in a lot of worry at that time which will result in more chances of losing in gambling.

Yes the main point is that we must really know the situation and conditions, everything has its own portion, especially in terms of dividing time for an activity, anyway I think that to do a gambling session does not take long, I understand that the type of online gambling makes it easy for every gambler to gamble anywhere and anytime but the problem is not at work either, You will never miss out on gambling and absolutely no one is forcing you to gamble in a place where you shouldn't be doing gambling activities, which means you can still gamble at other times, basically free time, after all, the work situation will not be able to make you focus on gambling, and it is better for you to gamble when you are free time which of course can make you feel comfortable.

And vice versa if you can divide your time for everything you want to do then obviously your activities will not be interrupted by other things. For the problem of experiencing mental and psychological disorders I think it is very possible when you experience defeat at that time, and also clearly it will interfere with your efficiency and focus at work, what I am worried about is the fear of your boss knowing this and I am sure at least your boss will reprimand or even expel you from work. So there are two big risks that you will experience just because of carelessness and stupidity, first losing from gambling and second losing your job, the point is that I hope we can divide things according to their portions.
