Topic: Who among you here is gambling at work? - page 47. (Read 7587 times)

It's not recommended to gamble at your business place or job, but it depends on what type of work actually, if it's sales where you have some time doing nothing before you attend to customers then you can use the spare time to gamble.

I can't imagine myself doing this at my office because I will be operating a machine and my business is all about calculation, I don't want to start thinking about gambling, it will cause distraction and I could end up making some mistakes on customers cloths, I don't want this.

I think gambling when you some have anything going on is the best, this is why I like weekends for gambling, I don't have to worry about completing someones work and making some adjustment before the time runs out, you can't concentrate on two things at a time.

It's true that gambling while working is not recommended. If you work, just work, don't do anything else outside of work. Everything has its time, there is time for work, study, play and even gambling. For me personally, I set aside weekend time to gamble and that's only for a few hours, not for long, because the game I play is a slot type and there's no point in lingering on it.

That's absolutely true. It happens in real-life scenarios. Gambling can be incredibly distracting, and it's not just about losing money – it can make us lose focus on our jobs as well. This is why it's not advisable to gamble while at work if we want to perform at our best. When you're gambling, you're constantly checking the games you're playing. Even in sports betting, you might not be watching a live game, but you'll keep following the scores. I can tell you from experience, it's a rollercoaster of emotions, especially in long games like basketball where the scores are constantly changing.

This is what I think is very common among gamblers,and as long as you are a gambler,and you are the type that gambles online,you will definitely gamble while at work.I do this most atimes,and can't deny that fact because I enjoy doing it.but the most annoying part of it is that anytime I try gambling when I'm at work,I aways end up losing because my mind won't be on it,my attention is always devided,and that is what makes me lose.In gambling,one needs to be very attentive to the games he or she is playing because any misplacement that you do,your money is gone,and before you know it,you've had a bad day at work.I think it isn't something to try if you haven't tried it before.

If the gambler is able to manage the situation correctly, he thinks it's okay to do that. The difficult thing is that he does that without balancing his work in the company and his gambling.

When that happens, it's not normal anymore, instead there is an addiction happening in his personality that he doesn't realize in my opinion and just sees. He should be careful when he sees himself like that, especially if he is a family man or a breadwinner in his family.

There's nothing wrong on playing as long it would really be compromising your work efficiency but as much as possible then it would really be that recommended that playing time should really be on the right time and not really be done on workplace because it would really be most likely be affecting your efficiency on working and we know that gambling is really that for entertainment
and should really be that for fun but it would really be just that right that you should really be that skipping out and not putting up your focus on playing gambling because once you do make
yourself that engaging too much with gambling on not on the right time then it would really be might resulting into that some issues not into yourself but rather with your coworkers on which they might really be making some complaints or issues which would really be resulting into that possible problem in the future.

The people who love to play the gambling all the time will do the gamble at their work.Most of us hear the songs during the work time,because song is the entertainment for us.The purpose of hear the song is to entertain ourself during the pressured working time.No one pay us simple without any task in the work,So gambler will choose the gambling instead of the music.The sports bet will be the best option to choose the gambling during the work time.

Not only gambling but also other activities that can distract an employee in attending to his work.  Aside from that, the company sees it unfair to see their employee using their working time for gambling thus, if the employee is caught, the company will impose a penalty or punishment to the guilty employee.

Aside from that, some employee are unable to control their emotion and when they lose their gambling activity, their performance in their work is affected resulting in getting agitated easily or making errors and mistakes with their work.  The efficiency of these employees becomes lower thus, the company is losing as a result.

If we value our jobs then better to remove all distractions and perform at optimum so that the company will feel that they are right in employing us and probably will think of giving us a raise.

When we are at work we must respect the rules, and one of the most popular rules is that we should not use telephones, much less play games, we as professionals cannot do these types of things, because they are very inflated, we cannot use the phone. work time for those things, when we are in a delicate field of work, the less we should do it because it is what makes us do things well or better, and a telephone or being on a PC playing in a casino is something that is It is considered a lack of respect, and a job has to be respected, no matter where it is, it has to be respected, I am not saying anything that in every job there are free times, or the time that is used for lunch or something like that, in that At the moment I am not saying anything that can be used to be able to play, and that would be a very small moment, but there, during work hours it cannot be done, just imagine ourselves in a field job, where we need to have all the concentration of the world, and playing in a caisno, that doesn't look good.

In a job that has to be done full time or in rotating schedules, or but even if it is a plant job, which considers all the time of full concentration for it, where you have industrial machines, you cannot do that, because it would be a very big irresponsibility, here what you have to be careful, because any mistake is your fault as a professional, in fact if you work serving in a store, you must also respect it, even if it is the easiest job in the world that is You have to respect it, because that's what free time is for, or after work or before work is when you should consider playing in a casino or having fun at work, because it is not welcome, plus everything would become something just looking at phones or games, that is something that I agree should not be done, plus all work needs attention. and all the concentration is required, and in a casino you also need to concentrate, you cannot do both at the same time.

Our work pays the bills, and not some such of gambling. When we are at work, we should avoid any distracting measures because the repercussions are not favorable, such as losing severely, which may result in us wrecking up and finding it challenging to bounce back. A substantial percentage of people combine gambling with their jobs. They hardly grasp the space, but they're already accomplishing what they set out to do. Working and gambling will not help; we must stick to a schedule because dealing with the difficult situations and functions of gambling is not a straightforward process.

I agree with you, when you're working and gambling at the same time, you can't be focus on both sides. Either you neglected your work or you'll lose in gambling. I suggest to focus on work while working hours then you can play on your idle time or once your shift is done. Let's value our work because it provides us  stable source of income. Be accountable for your actions and always put your best effort into your work.

If you able to manage working and gambling at workplace altogether then good for you  even though that doesn't mean it is that so simple for others to manage it that way too. There are people that can quickly get carried away that they use extra work time to continue in their gambling at a supposed time when break should be over, and because not everyone has the ability to manage it all together in good thats why organisations frown against gambling at workplace and abhor workers who would want to mix work with gambling because it will most likely affect productiveness of the worker no matter how they may try to be in control of how they gamble.
Fun is necessary at workplace but not with through gambling there's high possibility of a loophole for low productivity no matter what.

But it will still be difficult if they gamble and try to balance everything, especially in gambling, they can lose, which will affect their work. It's best if he doesn't gamble while working and waits until he's finished work and gone home so that if he loses, it won't affect everything because he can go straight to sleep if he can. Playing gambling while working will not work well because we need to focus at work, and we will not see our work become a mess because we experience loss and change our mood while working. So it's best to forget about gambling and focus on your work.

Yes, that's right, I think it's true that it's very risky, especially if it interferes with your work performance and then you get fired just because you're caught gambling. It's not very good if you gamble in your free time in the office, for example, if you're a worker who's always in front of the computer, that doesn't mean you have to make time. to gamble because it will really disturb your concentration even when you are relaxing.

It is not recommended to gamble during work time because obviously it will create other risks apart from losing at gambling, there is also the possibility of being fired and losing your job, don't let that happen, especially if you still have a family who needs to support your life from your job, obviously this is not recommended. recommend gambling at work although everyone can do that but it will not end well in the end.

I think this is too risky most especially if you have family to feed. Even rich people struggle to achieve a balance focus between gambling and a job. How much more those who are going to gamble for a serious money and those who are chasing luck. I think if you are gambling you should make things a balance or else things might go wrong. So treat it just a past time guys don't take it seriously.

I have never done gambling at work, because so far I have never had the experience of working in someone else's place, so I don't know how it is and what the situation is, but if you look at the ethics that needs to be done by a worker doing gambling at time Work is not a good and good thing ethically at work an employee, even though you have a lot of empty time.

Because I am a freelancer and business owner, so gambling on the sidelines of the free time I certainly cannot be categorized into what the OP meant right? Because there are no rules that bind I have to keep the code of ethics of a worker.

But it seems fun for a worker to be naughty and play gambling at work as you do a friend, that's what my workers do, but I scold him and give him a warning.

Well, it will actually take some level of maturity to not let playing or gambling in office during work hours affect your output in work, for personally, i think its not about the game itself, but the outcome of the game, and that this does not affect your productivity at work also largely depends on the type of work you are doing, although i do have in mind that you mentioned that you mostly do this when you don't have much to do at your office.

But then, let's consider those who pretty busy at work having to spare sometime in-between work to watch a match they probably have betted some reasonable amount of money on, believing that he or she would win the bet, but unluckily, his team lost, and he watched every bit of that match at work. Do you think that the outcome of that game will not somehow, negatively affect that Persons's productivity at work for the rest of that day?, not actually the outcome of the game, but the money he or she lost when he or she already believed that he or she would win the game.

Agree with your thoughts about that since its not good to play at your free time since you might be out of focus due to disturbance that we can possibly encounter while playing on our work place. Much better for that is to use for resting since we can getaway with heavy stress especially if we lose and make sure to regain our energy if we do that. There's a lot of time for gambling and we can do it once we are at home setting on bench and relaxing for sure with this we can focus on the games we play then might gain some good results on gameplays we have done on certain games we engage with.

It will be bad for us if we are really bothered at work with the results shown since our work can really get affected and we might not be productive on our jobs for thinking about those losses

For a fact, a lot of people do get free time at work that they can use the free time to engage themselves in other things as well but gambling is one of the things that shouldn't be done at work. I said so because gambling is something that requires total attention and sometimes, when you're gambling and loses your money, you'll want to gamble more to reclaim it and on the process of trying to get back the lost money, you won't be conscious of time again. So as a result of unconsciousness of time, one is likely to know when it's time to get back to work again and thereby allowing gambling to affect his work which might likely lead to sack from work

I did play on online casinos in my office before. It was the time when I did not have much to do in office. I tried everything actually. I watched movies, played games, did trades, and did some other stuff with my officemates. I have a lot of work experience and this only happened more than a year since I later realized that I should try to make myself busy with something that is work-related.

Both online and peer-to-peer sports betting during work hours are common to me since this doesn't consume a lot of time. However, there were also times when I had to watch games live online or on our office televisions because having a bet makes games more exciting to watch. But of course, I made sure that it wouldn't affect my regular output at work.
