Topic: Who among you here is gambling at work? - page 39. (Read 7522 times)

I think it's hard to only gamble in weekend because we're free and we can do anything that we want. As long as our working friends or boss is allow us to gamble, most of people will being transparent and gamble at work.

Gambling is one of many ways about entertainment, similar like people who're playing game at work.

   -   Maybe those kinds of gamblers have a permanent itinerary, and the weekend is really reserved for them to play gambling in a casino. And I don't see anything wrong with his task activity. I also rarely see a gambler who has such a habit every weekend.

Maybe the weekdays are reserved for him for personal work, so it's like that, so his work won't be affected, and if what I'm thinking is right, he's doing a good job then. And I hope all gamblers are like him when he really is like that.

- I believe that each of us has something that affects our main work. Gambling, or allowing your mind to be affected by it, I think, is one of the worst things. It not only steals efficient working hours but also keeps us in a state of anxiety and worry. This, in turn, affects your primary job or your gambling results as well.
- In the past, I've sometimes used my working hours to engage in online betting or follow charts for trading. Initially, I thought I could make use of my downtime for this, but gradually it turned into a habit that I would do during working hours. When work got busier, I found it frustrating that I couldn't indulge in these activities as I used to.
- I consider it a bad habit that can be somewhat addictive because it gives you a false sense of accomplishing more. It took me around 1-2 months to quit this habit.

That's right, not everyone can control themselves when gambling. of course gambling while relaxing can still cause problems, especially if they play during working hours, of course it is very vulnerable that they will get problems at work because gambling will cause an effect that will have a dangerous impact on themselves and their work.

It is certain that the work he is doing is a clear income for himself, but if they gamble at work, they may be bored with their work so and so so they try to gamble to cause problems hahaha.

I think, even people who play casually and can control themselves sometimes still get emotional when they lose gambling, especially if they gamble at work it's very ineffective. As you said they should refrain from looking for problems at work, because the company pays them to work with their best performance, not paid to play gambling, although there is a break time but it is unethical if they use the break time to gamble. And of course the boss also wants the maximum performance of his employees, not employees who are always negligent about their work, because the company also wants profit so there is no way they want employees who are always negligent about their work.
​
It is clear that even if they do it at home, there is a high probability of losing money, especially if they do it in the work environment, not only will their money be lost, it could be that their job positions will also be lost because of their wrong behavior.

Yes that's right, it's better to keep than to cure, that's what they should remember, instead of them being addicted and difficult to recover, it's better for them to refrain from gambling in any place because as you said it can be done when you go home from work and play casually while enjoying the rounds that will give defeat hahaha, kidding, victory is certainly what all players or everyone wants but it returns to their luck that will determine the future. It's just that they themselves can control themselves so that addiction does not occur which will be detrimental in the future because everyone certainly wants the good in the future, but it depends on them themselves who will determine it, because they themselves will make decisions when they have to choose something to consider.

If they lose their jobs because of gambling, that in my opinion is ridiculous. because how yes, you see, "you already got a job that definitely produces, so you don't look for problems" just live it, be grateful for what you've got, don't invite problems by gambling, which obviously will make things worse. Even though they play with the aim of having fun, no one knows if when they lose what will happen, it will also predominantly lead to emotions that will increase which will make everything chaotic. It's better for them to focus on their work to do what they have to do as well as possible, after all, if their performance is good, they might get a bonus from their boss so they have more money to do gambling outside if that's the case.

Yes that's right, even if they do it during break time it will disturb other people or other coworkers, especially if they do what you said, maybe their coworkers who already know that he did what you said will think that he is crazy for gambling in the work environment. Not only that, there could even be a lot of rumors that become the subject of conversation if there are people like this, and of course the rumors will quickly reach the superiors because it is common that if there is gossip, it must spread quickly, and if they have done the things you said, in my opinion it is already severe, because what he did wrong also disturbed other coworkers so that they could lose their focus at work.

You seem to be mistaken, maybe you mean "it will have an impact when we finish our break" not "it will have an impact when we finish work", because you said initially the break time should be done only for rest not for gambling.
This is because it's not ethical for him to play but for other people to be the outlet for his anger. and it can be seen from what you said, this is one of the things that makes them not responsible for what they made before. if they dare to do it, they should be able to be responsible by dealing with everything properly and not taking it out on other people who don't know anything. So what they themselves did before, they themselves have to accept it, don't throw it on others so that other people become uncomfortable with this behavior which will cause conflict with each other.

Yes, that's why, not practicing self-control when you already know the harmful effects of gambling, if you already know what the future will be like, don't try to minimize it, if you already know the harmful effects as you said, hopefully they will realize, and no longer do gambling at work or outside the work environment. Most likely the boss does not want his employees to gamble,  but that is their own right, so if they want to gamble they can do it at home like you said, but if they already know what the impact will be like, they should be able to realize that it will harm themselves in the future.
Show good performance, do your best, that way they will also survive in their jobs, they can even get promoted if their job performance is good, it also has a big impact on their company which will make their superiors impressed or appreciate their maximum job performance. If they can't work optimally, at least don't look for problems in a workplace that clearly produces every month.

Losing at gambling is actually not much different from having your heart broken because of love, it can affect our productivity because it attacks our psychology directly, so the most important thing that must be prepared before gambling is the mentality to accept defeat, it has been discussed many times to continue gambling with a conscious mind - responsible - careful, and having high expectations in gambling is normal but when we face a situation where we have to stop then do it, don't force yourself and then go into debt, well if you think like that, be sure you will be fired from your job and your relationship with your family will be damaged, gambling addiction is dangerous.

I understand that we all have different jobs, teams and bosses. But I see nothing really bad if during lunch I would spend few minutes and placing few bets in blackjack. Of course I judge those who came to work at 9, and at 9:01 they are already at casino webpage Like youve said, it depends from the job. If a bank manager uses his pc to access gambling page, while being watch by security camera, then this is really bad for his work and he should be given a warning. But if you are sort of a guy who uses pc for any kids of simple or monotenous tasks, then I see no evil to spend few minutes of rest playing games.

well, that bad mindset a reckless gambler who can not control his mind to separate gambling and work, whereas if we only think about getting profits from gambling but are at risk, it would be better to focus on work to get bonuses from our work rather than busying ourselves to gambling while working.

and from some of these replies I have the idea that it seems like someone who gambles at work is one of the signs that he is addicted to gambling because if he is a regular gambler they can separate their time at work and will focus on work but for a gambling addict he will continue to gamble wherever he is. right?

Well every gamblers are very different, maybe you have the discipline to play only on weekends or even says that you can gamble what you can afford to lose. But I will say that maybe more than 90% of the gamblers here have a bad experience in gambling like what the OP had in the past. And it could really affect his mentality because it awful to experience a lost, not just a lost but a big one. And just like what he explained it, the money should be for other things for his family and obviously the priority for all of us, to bring food in the table. But if he lost, then it's really going to be bad not just for him but for his family as well as he diverted that very important money to gamble. And if we have this kind of experienced, he should learned from it because again, it involved your family already.

Agree with you, I think it depends on how a person regulates the time when he can gamble, meaning he cannot gamble during his working hours because it violates company rules, and if he is caught he will receive sanctions, either a warning or perhaps even being fired. However, if someone can manage their time during rest hours then this will not be a problem for them, because it is entertainment when filling free time and entertainment when they feel tired and this will not trigger problems in their work.
Yes, that's right, you can gamble at any time, while waiting for the right time, as long as we are smart in placing it.

I gambled during weekends that is lately on Friday for Saturday matches while I also bet on Saturday for Sunday matches thus with that situation I am exempted to bet during working days, those are my work-free period that wouldn't affect me in my working place, moreso I gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose even If incur a lose it doesn't affect me in my working place, my effectiveness is not affected because I moved on that is part of the game that is if you gamble for fun, I believe gambler who lost a massive bet would feel bad and become aggressive in their work place by transferring aggression to coworkers or colleagues obviously it is a self inflicted issue

I think you might have time for that but not everyone has time to gamble at work, every person's job is definitely different from work regulations and also work activities, that's why we can't judge from our own point of view and need to looking at it from other people's point of view too, there are things that other users might not be able to do at their workplace let alone play gambling.

For example, at my workplace there is a rule where users are prohibited from gambling or doing anything during work hours, especially in the workroom other than doing their work, they could be fired, if they only play during breaks and during leisure time, I think as long as they are still there, In the work area it is very dangerous, if a co-worker reports that our behavior is against the rules, of course we can also be fired. In essence, just gambling in a place where we don't do anything in our free time, for example at home, will be much better.

Self-control is still a mystery, but we can still train it so that we don't gamble excessively. But if we continue to gamble at work, it is our carelessness because we are not relaxing but working and even though we get rest time, we must use it to rest and not gamble which can make us lose focus on work.

Yes, I also think that he can actually earn income from work, but he takes risks that could get him into trouble and he could even be fired from his job. He should be grateful that he was able to get a job so he could earn an income. He should not gamble at his workplace rather than get into trouble later.

And because gambling is entertainment, we must be able to position ourselves where and when we can gamble and not need to gamble when we are working. Even though we can control ourselves, that doesn't guarantee that we can maintain self-control so that we don't need to gamble or do other things while we are working. It is better for us to restrain ourselves from gambling while we are at the office rather than having problems later. That is why we must have good self-control so that we understand when we can gamble and so that we do not experience disturbances when we are gambling. After all, if we gamble at home, we can be comfortable and enjoy every gambling game we play and no one bothers us. For this reason, we have to really be able to take care of ourselves when we are working because that is where we can make money so we have to work as well as possible. We will lose if we try to gamble and are caught by our superiors and that will definitely have fatal consequences for our position in the office.
​

Experiencing loss is very possible and loss will come regardless of where we are and if we gamble at the office, we can experience loss because this is gambling. We can't expect to win because it won't be easy so it will definitely impact our emotions and self-control. And we already know what will happen if we experience loss more often so we also predict what will happen to us after that loss. Our emotions will increase and that will also definitely have an impact on the work we do so that later it will expand the impact on our co-workers so that everything can fall apart.

Instead of experiencing things we cannot imagine, it is better for us to anticipate them by not gambling while working. After all we don't work all day so we will have more time when we are at home. It will be safer for us to gamble because we can play in the room without anyone disturbing us when we gamble.

We really have to remind each other so that other people can avoid the bad impacts that will happen to them. After all, they are not supposed to gamble anywhere, let alone gamble while they are working in the office. Of course, this will endanger their work position, especially with their co-workers because there are many impacts that can happen to us and not just to our co-workers because the negative effects can be even greater. That's where we have to realize that when we are, we have to focus on our work and not do anything else. We also have to remember that we can lose self-control when gambling, so just imagine if we lost self-control when we were at the office, it would definitely have an effect on us and our co-workers. So don't let us get into trouble at the office just because of trivial things.

We can see our friends playing games on their phones while they are working. We will hear the noisy voices of those who are enthusiastic about playing and of course there will be colleagues who feel disturbed by those who are playing the game. Maybe our boss can also hear noisy voices from us and our boss clearly doesn't like it and he can give us a warning letter not to do it again. If we don't pay attention to this, over time our boss can fire us easily and we will lose the job that has provided us with an income.

Especially if we gamble at the office. We won't be able to stop ourselves when we experience loss because we will react and maybe even scream regretting the defeat we experienced. This feeling of annoyance will definitely be heard in our room and maybe also in other rooms so that it will disturb our colleagues who are working.

The rest time provided for each employee is only for resting from work and we should not use it for gambling because it will have an impact after we finish work. Maybe we can still control it after we finish gambling, but no one knows whether our emotions will not increase after a while because we might still remember what we got from gambling. And it will disturb our minds at work so that our work will not be finished that day.

And other problems will also arise where there is a possibility that we will feel annoyed if our work is disrupted and that will make our attitude different from usual. Later, our colleagues will also feel discomfort when we try to vent our frustrations on our colleagues and that will cause arguments between us.

They can stop gambling while they are working because their reason for making extra money from gambling is unacceptable, especially since they are working to make money. If they don't try to stop gambling and control themselves while they are working, they can lose their job quickly because it will interfere with their work. Those who can work in a good place, earn a good income, should think about not gambling rather than risk being fired which their office can easily do. They don't need to force themselves to keep gambling and can see the situation and conditions so they can work calmly, get their salary, go home and gamble at home. That would be better than them gambling in his office.

There is nothing wrong with reminding others about the harmful effects of gambling, especially with people who have been called addicted. Because in my opinion, basically everyone should remind each other of the good things they should take. one of them is about gambling, which of course has harmful and good effects, but as far as I know, the harmful effects are more dominant.
If we can control ourselves when gambling, it will bring good things and can even reduce the risk of losing the money we have, because in my opinion, self-control also determines the future. When winning or losing, control must be there to make us realize and consider it before acting. So I myself always prioritize self-control when gambling, especially when gambling slots.

As you said. This is about gambling where there will be a sense of pleasure and annoyance, of course, when they lose, they may feel upset, this can also be what everyone feels when they lose at gambling, even though people who can limit or control themselves when gambling and they lose, maybe they also feel upset because they lose, especially if they lose gambling during work hours or work breaks.

Winning or losing in my opinion will have its own impact on work. because not necessarily people who win when gambling can stop their game, there is a sense of wanting to win more when they win too so they can continue their game and ignore their work if they win, especially if they lose, of course, it will bring a sense of annoyance which will also have an impact on their work which is never finished because they only focus on gambling.

The emotions that are on them are their own doing who gamble without good self-control and cannot limit their games so that it has a dangerous impact on themselves and their work, besides it is not good and not recommended to gamble in a work environment which is certain that there are responsibilities that they must complete because they work not play.

As I said before they should use their break time properly not to gamble which could cause problems later, because no one wants to have problems at work, but if there are people who gamble during working hours maybe it's stupid people who don't think about the things that will have an impact on themselves and their jobs which could fire them.

Why practice self-control when you already know the harmful effects of gambling? Wouldn't it be better for them to quit gambling?
It may be difficult to stop gambling, but there is nothing wrong with trying to stop gambling even if it is difficult to leave it they can reduce the frequency of gambling. That way it will also be better for them in the future, because there is no way they will continue to gamble until old but I don't force them, because they themselves have a brain that is certainly used to think and to determine which things are good for them which things are bad for them. So it all comes back to them. Please gamble with the money we have only, do not exaggerate it by chasing losses that have been lost because it is also impossible to chase losses that have been lost very unlikely to be able to restore the loss. if you have got a good job, do not gamble in the work environment because the loss of the main job because of gambling is not funny.

Yes, self-control is the only preventive measure that is mandatory because it is very necessary when we are gambling, no matter if your goal is just for fun - fun because it always cannot rule out the possibility that it is very possible that you can get addicted because you are careless not to apply some precautions or forget to apply them because of the fun of gambling, especially yes as I said before if you are one of those people who have a character that is easily provoked then it will be very easy to happen. Yes, the problem is not only endangering yourself but your job, because of course if your boss knows about your bad habits at work then obviously one of the impacts for your profession in a job where your boss will no longer trust you and they will think that you are an unprofessional and disciplined worker, and another bad impact is of course very likely to end in dismissal. Yes, that's right, therefore we must think first before acting, think about what risks can occur from these activities, don't just think about pleasure and lust because there are other impacts that can occur, especially in your work career.


Losing is very possible, as we know in gambling the percentage of wins is much smaller than losses, which means you will lose more often than you win and it has been proven that many people suffer because they experience a lot of losses when they lose. too ambitious and serious. Seeing this  gambling indirectly is a natural risk that they have to face.

Yes, basically it is true that the impact of gambling does not only affect one thing but other  things in your life will also be affected, for example work or family relationships can also be destroyed, of course they will not focus on work when they have the time. Work. use it for other activities, especially gambling, which has psychological and mental impacts, so I hope you try to think about it and reconsider it.

?Whenever it comes to Work , Whatever it may be , you need to have and do it the best you can, in some jobs where schedules are met, everything must be respected, there are some jobs where they require not using the phone at all, so you Know that It must be Respected , the pure fact of taking out the phone when it should not be, and something that is seen as a lack of respect and of course , a person who does that deserves punishment, because it cannot go against the Rules, so in This order of teachings we are people who must adapt to whatever we are working on and we must contribute what is unused and much less play in the casino, that is something that I do not see well, as you say, at lunch, at times that they are free for Coffee or snacks , because there is Only way that things can be done well for that , so this is what you Should do , also for a Casino that is online because you can play it all the time, the best thing is to play it like this, or Simply when you leave work and go home to rest , this is what I repeat.

There are People who can take out their Phone at work , but it is Something that is not very Ethical , because not only the company, the work, must be respected but also all the clients, in this order of Ideas it has to be Strengthened so that it can be be the best and it is a schedule, then by doing something like that it is not well seen, and now as everything is it is very Likely to earn a dismissal and an Unnecessary Dismissal, then things when you try to do things better because you have to give a great deal of understanding, the people who do it may not fire them or Something at the moment , but I am sure that a good call for attention or warning should be given, in jobs that include the use of the Telephone because they also have to be quite cautious with them, sometimes they may be monitoring whether what they do for the tea is Purely work or other things.

Not all jobs are stressful unless if you are doing such field work then it is something a stressful one but if you are on an office type of work then there would be those people
would really be that having some extra time on doing something at their mobile and if you are a gambler then likely you would really be playing some games at your work.
I could say that it is really indeed that more risky once your supervisor or your boss would be able to caught you on which playing on your work time which you are really that
imposing such risks into your job and you might be losing it. Better to gamble when its your break time or simply when you are already at home.
Everything could wait up.

The ease of laying bets and how fast the process can be could make a gambler get attracted to gambling whenever, wherever and wouldn’t care much if he’s gambling while at work or at home. It doesn’t make much of a difference to him.
You’re quite lucky to have a partner that stuck by you and made you quit as well as well as lost bonuses that motivated you to check the habit and to quit gambling at work.

Regardless of the reasons, it is for the better to avoid gambling at your job, in a way I can get that a job can be a very stressful activity and that people may want a way to relax themselves a little bit from all the responsibilities they face there, but there are many ways to achieve this that involve no risk of getting fired, and even if you could get away with gambling at your job for a long time, sooner or later you will get caught, and I doubt you would like to explain to your partner you got fired over such reason.

I don't gamble at work, what I do most is to gamble after work especially when I am free and I have some bills to pay without enough cash on me. I do this many time and it some how work for me. One of the challenges I had then was the fear of losing big bets I staked high huge amount of Money.

 The stress one get when they gamble on a particular game with a sufficient confidence that the bet would be a win can be always stressful if kept thinking about the bet. Gambling is a bet of the mind especially when we staked a particular bet with huge amount of fund. We need to make sure we bet with what we can afford to lose to avoid problems.

If gambling is involved in work then there will be disruption of concentration at work. Not only as a gambler but for any work that man should be given proper time. Whose work should be evaluated. Gambling is easy so professionals should never gamble while working. Why are you including gambling in your regal duties if you consider gambling as an addiction? It will frustrate you on the one hand and on the other hand it will destroy your work performance. So don't do anything that will affect your personal and family life as well. Many of us do this by gambling in office hour which must be avoided. Gambling during this time is not possible to do good research and thus the chances of losing is high.
