Topic: Who among you here is gambling at work? - page 42. (Read 7587 times)

Yeah spare time which is you are at home facing at your device or computer then everything is fine there especially if you decide to gamble since for sure with that set up you can feel relax and not disturb. Unlike if you are at work then having a break then I think that's not best time for you to gamble since that time is good to spend for resting so that you can feel recharge and be more productive on whole day work. If we decide to gamble then lose then we might get distracted and cannot clearly think on what to do so that can surely affect our productivity at work. So we better focus since we are also gambling our future there since if our boss will find us distracted and not productive maybe this is the reason why we will kick out on our jobs so focus on work and separate this activity since gambling is meant to play on our spare time.

I often see my work friend gambling when he is relaxing on his computer playing slots while hiding the sound so the manager doesn't find out, I am very concerned about why he does it at work, I am also a gambler and I have no intention of gambling in the office at work Me, after all it wouldn't be fun dividing focus between games and work, obviously it's very forced.

It wouldn't be good if we forced ourselves to gamble even though at work we as bosses or managers, I don't think it would be peaceful to gamble at work, there is time to gamble and also to work so we have to organize the time as much as possible for every activity we do so that not messy and chaotic just because I force myself to gamble at work, I think my friend should understand and be mature in this matter that it is not appropriate to gamble at work because in my opinion it is irresponsible with work and professionalism.

It's no longer surprising if I see people in the work environment also gambling, I mean they often gamble on slots during break time with their friends, I also asked one of these people: why don't you just sleep during break time? This short work actually makes you have fun gambling on slots with your friends?? and the answer is very unique for me, namely: because I look for entertainment by gambling, it can be a cure for boredom when I work every day, apart from being entertainment, sometimes I also get extra money here on condition that I only use a little money or see if there is still money left. to gamble, if there isn't any then I won't force you to gamble.

Then with the opinions of these gamblers, I started to think that in gambling not everything will be bad for us, sometimes we will also feel happy if we win, and apart from that I also think that when you are going to gamble you have to be able to set limits on the money you will spend, don't force it. if conditions do not allow it.

There's nothing wrong with gambling in your spare time, apart from being able to relieve fatigue from doing work, it can also increase your income, but if you experience defeat while gambling, of course this will make you have no income from the work you do, making you unable to meet your needs.

If you are a freelance worker, it certainly makes it very easy for you to have a lot of work that you can do so that you can avoid gambling which may not necessarily increase your income, but the possibility of losing when gambling is very possible, so it is better to use the time you have to Do work that can increase your income.

The work will be the good one,but we need to be passionate in the work.Apart from the gambling the gambler also look into the work because to entitle the work space for the gambling too.Because we all have the lunch break and tea break,if we are doing the real work.So you should use the free time in the gambling only for the gambling,because if the luck favour we can able to earn the good money from it.If you are the freelancer like me,the work is based on the opinion on us.The freelancer work will be more,if you are really want to earn more.So you don’t have the time for the play if you totally engaged with the more work.

In my opinion, whatever their job is, even though it may not be too strict in the sense that they have enough time to gamble, this gambling activity is really not recommended, after all there is still plenty of time for them to gamble, whether it's when they get home from work or fill the time during work holidays. So the point is that we must really be able to divide time according to its portion, if you are doing an activity then focus on that one activity and don't think about doing anything else whatever it includes gambling, it's better.

I am one of those who think that our work is sacred, if we really want to do something else like play in a casino like this, not only are we Disrespecting the work, we are not disrespecting ourselves, because basically the Our work is our livelihood and what we have to Make a market and cover household expenses, if we do not risk our work to play is something that is not Right , furthermore what you say is true, and it is a reality that Now most of the jobs have so many cameras that any movie is seen by Anyone, the supervisors, the same bosses, and what does it look like later if they take out a Phone during work hours? How is the person? Bad, because if the rules are to take out our cell phone and play, I think he has done everything in a very bad way and is being a participant in an act of mere unwiseness, so if he wants to play very much At Work what you Should do is wait to go out or wait to use your lunch break to get it.

In jobs, workers generally have at least 1 hour to have lunch, there are other jobs that give them more time, because people can even take a nap to arrive fresher, in Spain it happens a lot, and if this happens like this, Why not take Advantage of the hours we have to do it? I consider that our work is very sacred, apart from making a Mistake like that, professionalism is going down the drain, our capacity for credibility within the company is not the best, I think Many safe rules would be violated, and that is something that we should not do, because when they see that and if they decide to make a mistake , they can do it, because the offense is serious when a mistake is made to play in a casino from work, that is Something that could happen, beware if something like that happens, when they call to ask what the worker is like, they won't tell you good things.

But once you're working at night and gambling at the same time, there's a tendency that it will affect you either the work or gambling because this may results to out of focus. I agree that working at night is not that strict when it comes to your daily productivity and working behavior but it depends on what type of job do you have, example a Customer service representative, you aren't able to gamble while working because there's a required productivity/vall log counts needed and a lot of pending task that you need to be done. I suggest to focus on your work and gamble once you're shift is done.

This often happens to people who work at night, like security guards or employees who watch over companies during the late hours. It can get really dull during the quiet night if there's no other entertainment, but it can also be a bit challenging. gambling might become a common pastime for those working at night, as long as they don't draw too much attention from their boss as long as the situation remains safe. It seems like their boss is sound asleep at home, so there's no chance of a surprise inspection or getting fired for being active at night.

For those who work during the daytime, they might have to hide their gambling activities or do it during lunch breaks. the most important thing is to be careful with security cameras and also to be mindful of the money you put into gambling. Don't let all your hard earned money from a day's work go to gambling alone. that's not a wise move.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.

This is if the gambler has the goal of making profit and tries as much as possible to win more easily and this kind of gambling goal can indeed give rise to complicated thinking so that he cannot focus on what he should be doing.
But when gamblers aim to have fun and simply relieve boredom by having control then gambling at work is not something that will worsen the atmosphere.
It all depends on the gambler himself in responding to it.

From what you did it is clear that it was mistake that you placed a bet during working hours and you should have done it during your break and monitored the bets as much as possible if work was not so busy.
I know the feelings you experience when betting, which makes feel little anxious and always think about whether what you are betting on will lose or win, but if you can be responsible for work then winning or losing is not something need to worry about because you definitely accept all kinds of things the final result of the bet.

Literally balls to the walls huh. New to the topic but I know someone from work (two of them in fact) that are active gambler. You can legit hear them screaming mad when their teams for sports betting or their bets go awol because of a bad spin game. From what I can see though they don't really affect their work performance that much, and even the noise they make isn't that bad to affect the efficiency of their work mates, at least from the past few months that I've been in the company anyway.

Well the fact that the work is relatively leisure might be part of being able to do it properly while gambling though.

Let me tell you, the feeling is far from pleasant. It leads to a decline in your work performance, which can have significant consequences since that's your primary source of income. It might be manageable if you're winning, but the harsh reality is often quite the opposite. Even when we do win, we tend to spend most of our winnings, so we don't treat it as business money. This leaves us in a precarious situation when we lose because the money we initially budgeted for our families gets diverted to cover unexpected gambling-related expenses.

If they gamble in the office while they are resting, we will probably hear screams while they are watching the game. But if they place bets without watching the match, the office atmosphere won't be too noisy. To avoid the commotion in the office when we place a bet, we are resting so that we are not busy with office work that requires our concentration. But we also have to be careful when gambling in the office because there are colleagues who don't like it and they are the ones who can report us to our superiors. The atmosphere in the office may also not be good if there are employees who gamble while other employees are working.
