Topic: Who among you here is gambling at work? - page 40. (Read 7522 times)

To me when comes to gambling/betting at work, there is a clear difference between spinning slots or rolling dices from sport betting.
Gambling on games like those I mentioned can be very detrimental to ones attention and the result gets a resolution in a few seconds, which may prompt one to continue to gambling at work for longer periods of time, which could end up hurting our performance.
On the other hand, sportbetting with co-workers is more a social activity and interaction, one does not get a result on ones wager immediately and can easily continue to work while following the match on social media or listening to the radio with co-workers.

In my personal case I would avoid casino games while working completely and only partake on betting with friends, instead. It sounds more healthy and with less chances of getting very hooked up.

When you bet at work did that bet affect your work? Perhaps all the bets you placed at work paid off because you were able to focus fully on your work. Our minds are different, we always love to hear something positive and something negative always upsets us. I don't know if this is the case for you, but if I'm working on something and I lose a lot of money betting while doing it, then of course the loss will go to my head and I won't be able to fully focus on the work. From my background I think it is better not to gamble while working. There is sufficient time for betting, after 8 hours of duty a gambler can choose any time during the remaining sixteen hours for his gambling.

self control from the past until now is still a mystery that is difficult for any gambler to do and this is not just about addiction or self control but about someone who gambles at work and this behavior is really very careless if done by anyone because it will not only be an addiction. but his career will be threatened if his boss finds out and he is fired.

sometimes I also think why someone loses their mind when gambling at work.

Self-control will always be needed, regardless of when and where you gamble. But if you are easily provoked by the offers you see at the casino, your self-control may be useless because no matter what you do, you will not be able to defend yourself from that temptation. And if you still gamble in the scope of your work, one day, your boss will see it and you will be monitored even more closely at work. It will be very uncomfortable because your boss will no longer trust you and is just waiting for the right time for your boss to give you a letter of dismissal. If that happens, you have lost because you lost your job, which could provide income rather than gambling. They should be able to think ahead before they decide to gamble at work because it will affect their performance at work.

Becoming emotional because of losing from gambling is possible because when we lose self-control after experiencing loss and we stop, the remnants of those emotions are still with us. And this will interfere with our performance so that later we will not be able to focus on work. And this impact will be widespread, especially if we are having problems with colleagues. The problem will be bigger. We cannot control our emotions because we have lost while gambling.

It is a proven fact that currently many employees also gamble at work, most of them play slots that they like, and this also gets special attention for people who don't like gambling. And I also don't blame your advice, because everyone has their own views regarding gambling.

Of course it's not good if you do it continuously, it would be better if you play when you feel tired with the aim of entertaining yourself because you feel bored with the current conditions and the most important thing is to be able to manage your money. limit when betting on slots so as not to cause negative impacts. from the game.
Yes, it would be better if you had principles like that by not gambling at the company where you work but when you come home from work and also keeping the gambling you do a secret from other people so you don't get caught.

Yes, for the problem of control, it really cannot be predicted whether they will be able to apply it or not at all, no matter wherever and whenever you gamble because of course self-control has no involvement in terms of time and where you play, still in the end it depends on yourself, if indeed you do not have a strong mental and psychological then of course you will easily be provoked who eventually lose control. Yes, usually they will have thoughts like that because of the freedom from the scope of their work or their superiors do not pay too much attention to their work activities, so with that they feel free to do anything including gambling, yes they think the rules are meaningless even though it's not always like that, it could be that their superiors pay attention to them without their knowledge, it is very possible and indeed one of the reasons they gamble during work time may be because in terms of less strict supervision.

And indeed that is what friends are afraid of, it is clear that usually if the final result is not as expected then at least they will definitely feel upset and maybe emotional and as a result, as I said earlier that at least it will definitely have an impact on the work they are doing, one of which becomes unfocused because of upset and loss of enthusiasm, and yes if the boss knows about this then it will definitely be angry.

I would be honest if I say that I gamble at work from time to time These are short sessions, just like few bets or several minutes of slots. The reason I do it is pretty simple - wallet widget in browser few clicks and deposit is made. I see nothing bad in gambling a little at work, if the work is done or when you have a lunch break. Also I remember that during football, hockey worlds championships, or Olympic games, we place bets among colleagues. Ohh, and I remember we used to have a darts in past between collegues.

Some private companies do not allow mobile at all during office hours as long as he is in office only he has to do his office work. Thinking that talking on the mobile phone or leisure time can have a bad effect on the work of pressing the mobile phone, the office officials announced a ban on mobile phones in various private companies. A person who gambles on the sidelines of work if he loses gambling but the thought of losing his money is always in his mind, if the thought of losing money is always in his mind but he can never give full attention to his work. So I think as long as we work our main focus should be on work and the free time we can gamble it won't affect our work too badly.

Yes, indeed, gambling is entertainment but it uses money, and we can lose that money if we are not careful in gambling. We can even lose all the money we have if we lose self-control.

It's okay to always remind people of the dangers of gambling without self-control because we don't want to see people lose a lot of money, especially if they become addicted to gambling. It's not about how much pleasure we get from gambling but how well we control ourselves in gambling so we must really be able to control ourselves in gambling.

Usually many offices need to supervise their employees more closely so that many employees spend their working time doing other things so that some may have an impact and some may not have an impact on their work. If what they do doesn't have an impact, that's good because they can still focus on their work and there are no distractions. But this is about gambling, where there are winners and losers. If they lose, it will have an emotional impact on them so that it can interfere with their work and will also have an impact on relationships between employees.

Their lack of focus in working in the office is because their emotions are increasing and they cannot control their emotions so everyone will experience the impact. They must be aware of this and start reducing or even stopping their gambling activities at work to avoid increasing the emotions they get from gambling. When they are taking a break during work breaks, they should really rest and not gamble because it can have an impact after they finish gambling, and their focus on working in the office can be disturbed. Losing control after gambling can cause disruption to co-workers because they can easily take it out on their co-workers. It will also result in disruption of the work relationship between them.

Loss of self-control has been experienced by many people in gambling and each can have an impact on the people around him and not just himself. This loss of self-control can disrupt their relationships with people. It can also be detrimental to themselves, so they must be able to control themselves when they are gambling and after gambling. That is why we must continue to practice self-control as best as possible so that we will not experience disturbances in our surroundings.

They will really suffer financial losses because they have lost a lot of money while they were gambling and they will also not be able to recover their losses in gambling because it will be even more difficult to do. That is why, if we want to gamble, we must determine or have a budget allocation for gambling and always monitor it so that it does not exceed the budget limit. And we don't need to gamble excessively to get pleasure, let alone gamble at the office, which will interfere with our work. We also have to be aware that gambling can cause huge losses and can even disrupt our relationship with our partner.

It is maybe not now , but I have done this back years .

When crypto Gambling was introduce to me and I start Liking it ,  that is when it started
and given that my friend at work thought me about this gambling  and yes we even gamble using our computer without
other co workers noticing us and I felt being stupid and addicted those days , lucky that i stopped after losing my
Christmas bonus in 2019 and had a fight against my Wife and we almost have separated because of the addiction.

Agree with you that everything depends on how person manages time and can find the right time to gamble even during working hours, being professional at work is priority and an attitude of responsibility that every employee must always have so that what they do does not interfere with work.
As I have said before if there is free time such as break time then we can gamble in several sessions during the break, but when we return to work we must have professional attitude where we leave gambling whatever the results we get, because we gamble for the sake of it fill free time and eliminate boredom from the work we do.
It just that for those who cannot manage their time and always gamble for relatively long time, it is not recommended to try gambling at work because it will only cause problems.

The point is that we are all here reminding each other to always be responsible gamblers and to make the best use of gambling, don't let gambling affect other things that are priorities such as work and family integrity.

I did this before (I play even at work) usually when break time or when there's no so much work to attend to. Our boss is also not so strict as long as you can do your job well. I don't have issue actually about gambling being a hindrance to focus on my job, but more on the thought of losing my money and that I should not play the particular game.

But now, I rarely do this because my budget for gambling is limited and I prefer to just play at home. This way, i can enjoy more my leisure time and can play longer if I want to. 

It is true that you said that, that way they will be more courageous to gamble at work because of the lack of supervision so that it can make them gamble during working hours if there is not enough rest time. Not only will it have an impact on them but as you said it will also harm their work company which could give a warning or fatally could dismiss them from their job position because of their poor or declining performance. Of course if they are fired from their jobs, this is a stupid thing to say they are willing to lose diamonds for the sake of a pebble hahaha.

Unfocused which will cause their performance to drop, self-control and emotional control are difficult to do not as easy as saying and can be sure not everyone can manage or control these two things, I myself can make sure it is "wrong" if gambling during working hours or during work breaks, work breaks should be used to really rest without inviting things that will be detrimental to them. Not to mention that when they lose control, they can take it out on their coworkers who don't know anything. Of course they will be surprised and can even become upset and hate the person who has gambled during working hours.

The loss of self-control is certainly not experienced by people who gamble outside it will also be experienced by anyone wherever they gamble even though when gambling casually if you lose self-control it can harm yourself but maybe it won't bother others. activities like what you said, right what you said should be if you lose just accept it don't take revenge let alone chase victory, because if you chase victory they will definitely spend more money even with uncertain victory. So how long will they continue like that? By not realizing the amount of money lost due to gambling so that it can make them lose money which will make them critical, especially in terms of finance, with losses in terms of finance will also certainly spread to their daily economic difficulties. The basic needs that will be lacking because they are only focused on gambling, not to mention if they fully believe that the income they earn will be fully gambled on gambling, I myself become confused if I think about it, but it has become a major factor for gamblers to lose self-control and emotions.

If an employee can really manage their time like this and stay focused on his work no matter what happens or the outcome of his gambling, then this might not be a problem. However, whatever our hobbies, we still have to be professional and responsible with our main duties, especially during working hours. Don't let something else distract us from working. And whatever we are going through, whether it's gambling or family or something else, we should try as much as possible not to affect our atmosphere and performance as workers. But unfortunately, this is not easy enough and not everyone can be that good at time and management management. because sometimes, when we are fixated on gambling, we become unfocused. Or we become in a bad mood because we lose a lot while gambling in the free time.

In conclusion, gambling is a place of entertainment to have fun while work or work is something serious. so it is impossible for us to combine these two scenarios even though the concepts are different.

maybe someone has already answered my explanation above and we always often repeat what we talked about before, but we always remind other people that there is no harm because it is highly discouraged to gamble at work and this is not about comfort or winning, but this is about our professionalism as Employees must obey work rules and we dont need to force them to gamble while they are working because they have their own time for gambling.

Gambling should indeed only be for entertainment for those who are used to gambling and have proper control. This way of thinking must be instilled into the mindset so that they don't easily become addicted, because on average most gamblers become addicts because they are obsessed with wanting to win big and become get rich in an instant way, it is true that gambling is not a place to play for people who cannot control themselves properly.

Don't ever try it if you can't control yourself because playing will definitely be out of control, that's why you need to train yourself first. If you can control yourself properly, you will definitely be able to manage your budget and time for gambling, because people who can control themselves will definitely be able to manage it. himself so he doesn't get caught up in addiction.

When people start gambling again, wherever they are, there is a possibility that they will lose control and when their rest time is over, there is a possibility that they will still gamble. I noticed this happening to several of my friends who work in the office because they said that even though their break time was over, they could still play games on their smartphones. And this makes me think that a gambler who often gambles can also do it, especially without strict supervision from his superiors. Usually, employees tend to underestimate the supervision in their offices and they can use their work time to do other things, even just going live on Instagram.

They will rush into gambling and when they lose, they will be disappointed and lose their enthusiasm for work, affecting their work later. This is worrying because if their superiors find out and give them a warning letter not to do it again, maybe they won't pay attention and this could result in dismissal from their office. If that happens, this is detrimental to them, but it is their fault for not paying attention to the regulations of their office.

Yes, this has been experienced by many gamblers who end up losing control of themselves when gambling. They cannot maintain self-control well so their emotions will increase with the defeat they experience. This will disrupt their concentration at work because with defeat and increased emotions, they will lose focus and there is also the possibility that it will disrupt their relationships with their co-workers.

Playing gambling requires a relaxed atmosphere so that we are not disturbed by other activities and if we lose, it will not interfere with other activities. And it's best not to gamble while working so that no one is disturbed by gambling activities so that we can also be comfortable gambling. Whatever the result, we can accept it well because we are aware that gambling can result in loss, so we can only accept it. Getting a win is just a bonus so we don't need to chase the win.

and also most people who gamble when they experience defeat, of course, they will feel frustration which certainly makes their emotions rise so that it can make them lose self-control, which of course if they lose self-control because of emotions, their work will be affected, whether it is being reluctant to work or not focusing on their work. As you said, it is unlikely that people who gamble when they lose can control their emotions, which is true and I agree with what you said.

In addition, in my opinion, gambling should be at a relaxed time or moment so that we are also calm when playing, in my opinion, if gambling at leisure time such as recess it will actually be uncomfortable because with limited time it can also make us not calm when playing. If they do gambling during work breaks, I think it will only bring problems to themselves which is certainly a big risk that will have an impact on their work and themselves. After all, I myself also only gamble on weekends, it seems uncomfortable to play with limited time because it's true what you said about the sense of haste, and it will make the game uncomfortable, unlike playing in free time, you can enjoy it even though the end result is losing hahaha lol.

You can't do two things at the same time, and also it depend on the type of work you are doing, some work place are mostly boring and workers just have to hang around until something new happens, it's possible to gamble in such times but I still don't recommend it.

Imagine operating a big machine at work, how can you gamble at the same time without cutting off part of your body or someone's else? This is why I believe that you won't date toy with your concentration at some work just because you feel like gambling at the time.

Even for someone who have all the time to gamble, like someone who only works online or those involved in day trading, they still don't gamble everyday, as in, gambling isn't something you want to be doing everyday, there is time to gamble and there is time to get serious with your work or jobs, one must not affect the other if you want to progress in life.

Gambling is no joke, it's something that you must not be too attach with, it could affect your way of thinking, it could make you to be desperate with making money, it's not advisable to gamble everyday, fix few days in a week and that's enough, judging with the risks involved in gambling, this is the best thing to do.

Yes, even though for example they have time to gamble during breaks (outside of working hours) but still the main focus should be "whether you can be a responsible gambler or not", and if you feel unacceptable with the final results that are not in accordance with the wishes then I conclude you are not a responsible gambler and it is better not to touch gambling anywhere or anytime even though you have time such as for example during work breaks. Because of course the mental and psychological impact will be disturbed and I'm sure if the final result really loses then you will not focus on continuing your work session. Honestly, I would not really believe what those who say they can control and restrain their emotions, because if they have entered the gambling stage, anything can happen, especially emotions because they do not accept the results that occur.

Because the time is very narrow and only dedicated to rest, it is clear that they will definitely be in a hurry if they insist on doing gambling activities, so yes like you said it's better to use that time to just rest my friend, you will be able to recover from the fatigue of your work, don't gamble because I'm not sure the final result will be in accordance with what you expect and also on the other hand it's not the right time for gambling activities. So the point is it's better to do activities according to the time portion.
