I'd like to share my experience with you all. Even though I'm not currently employed, I went through a phase of gambling while I was working in the past, and the outcome wasn't positive. It affected my job performance because, as you may know, when you lose, you tend to dwell on your losses and constantly think about strategies to win. When we talk about work, it usually means we're not particularly wealthy, and imagine what happens when we gamble money we can't afford to lose, especially when we're not earning much.
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.
I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.
One thing I don't joke with is any attempt or element that try to disrupt my main source of income, I make sure I completely eliminate it from my life. Yes, I said what I said, if the source of income is gone today, there will be no opportunity to gamble anymore and there will not be money to feed again. You ought to have think of that and forget gambling completely because if we check your gambling history, I doubt if your gambling income will exceed your place of work income.
Furthermore, what did you take gambling? You think it's a place where you can wake up and do some magic and then double, tribe and X your wager, no. As you are thinking of the winning side, you should also think of the losing side because for every winning that you take from casino, they expect or want you to give it back in the future, that's how they profit and you want to take that all from them
Another thing you should consider is break, yes take a break. It's good for the body, help relax the body and makes you productive. You don't have to gamble all the time if you don't want to start having nemesis of too much loss from gambling, you need to strike a balance between your work, your free time and gambling time.
