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

I don't have direct experience like that. However, it cannot be denied that this could happen to some people who really like gambling. Especially for those who are addicted, it will be difficult to escape the memories and shadows of their gambling activities. In this case, initially it might just be for fun in between work so that you don't get bored, don't get bored, or don't get stressed. Maybe it also started from playing regular games. However, over time, this will actually backfire on the perpetrator. Because if you lose when gambling at work, this will definitely affect your mood. I'm not sure if someone spoke it wouldn't have an effect. However, defeat and losing money will definitely affect our focus at work, especially when we are working, plus the pressure of the workload at that time.

That's why you should be professional, when you're at work you should just focus on your work. Do gambling at home or outside working hours so you can focus on the gambling you are doing.

As long as we can manage our time correctly and it never affects our performances that is still okay provided that we are doing this during break time, not during office hours. There is a perfect time for gambling which is I don't understand why some gamblers will gamble at work when we have time for a break and after work. In fact, management won't allow them to do other stuff during their working time. And more often, the results are not good, and possibly we just lose our mode which certainly affects our performance.

Probably a lot of us are gambling at work. And for me it’s not bad actually until your boss has caught you gambling, lol.

Well, I do agree on OP that gambling could be a threat for your work performance. It really is obviously, especially if you are on a constant loss, your job performance will really decrease. But maybe it also depends on the employee itself. If you can manage your emotions while gambling and at the same time you did not lost your focus on your job, then both will work at the same time. But for most of the employees, just observe discipline. When you are at work, then focus only on your work. And when you are on a break time, that’s the time you can entertain yourself through gambling.

My co-worker are into basketball and we are all betting and so far there’s no problem with our work and I think a good balance is advisable and if you think gambling is stressing you a lot and you are losing your focus because of gambling, then better to stop it now. Some companies are prohibiting this as well, so better to know your policy first before you gamble because you might lose your job just because of gambling, and that is not acceptable.

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.

I never do other activities during my work hours. I make sure that my employer is getting what they are paying. And I find it unethical to do other things during the working hours. I sometimes allocate my break time to make some spins but after the break time, I make sure that I am not distracted during the working hours.

Quote from: Sanitough on October 12, 2023, 09:52:01 PM

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.

It is a given result. When we are distracted when at work, our performance will suffer. So I only gamble during my free hours with my free money.

Quote from: Bitinity on October 12, 2023, 11:01:59 PM

I have to say that those who are gambling at work are people who cant manage their time well. Working time should be used wisely, to focus on the work only but I wont deny that I have done it before because I was so bored with what I do in my office. I realize that it is a mistake and I do not do it again till now to avoid something bad with my career. Better to manage our gambling time, gamble when we have free time only, time when we have nothing to do at all. Time is priceless especially when it comes with our family, job, or relationship.

Since gambling is a pastime, I don't truly see anything wrong with people engaging in it at work as long as it doesn't distract from their work or negatively impact their performance. People get bored at work from time to time. Due to the fact that you may occasionally become so busy at work that you may not have enough time to even remember to gamble. To sum up, time management is crucial. You should take seriously the decision you feel is most important to make between your job and your gaming, and I am sure that everyone has already given their opinion.

I understand the feeling but contrary to what happened OP, I have never lost my focus on work while gambling at the same time.

Actually, I always play whenever I'm working. I admit that there's a time it can be a distraction but it doesn't mean I'm not fully focusing on my work. I can even settle all my daily tasks even while gambling. Maybe it depends on the person and how to deal with it.

It's just that, there's a thing called "boredom" while working and you want something to energize you.

Just make sure that when there's a meeting or what, refrain from gambling in the meantime lol.

That's the most common mistake many gamblers make, thinking that gambling can be a way to make money or wealthy. If you enter a casino with this mindset it's important to realize that you're likely to lose easily either today if not then the next day. And chasing losses can make it even worse which going to prevent you from retaining any of your money (you won’t keep any penny in your pocket) as long as you believe you can recover all you losses if you keep playing more rounds.

Personally, I did gamble while I was studying but my primary goal was to pass the free time and not get bored. I never had the expectation in my mind of winning or increasing my initial betting money. Once I made a deposit into my account I considered it already gone so when I win something I really enjoy it.

It is the reason why we mustn't gamble at work.
We must lose our mood when we experience a loss, moreover it is a big loss. Even, maybe there is a gamble who can't forget the loss for few days. Of course, it will bring big impact on our job/work. We probably lose our focus, we can't work with good feeling. That may lead to a worse performance on our job/work.

Well, gambling at work should be avoided. Although we assume to gamble for fun at work, but it probably ends up with bad feeling if we experience bad luck at that time. No one can feel happy when he/she experiences losses. Grin

Once we would be losing our mood when we are at work then just like on what others saying above that efficient at work would really be greatly affected and if it happens then it would happen your overall performance and if things becomes more worst then you might really get fired or would really be replaced. Is this something that would really be worthy in exchange with your gambling leisure needs? No its not! This is why its really that recommended that you shouldnt really be that doing gambling when you are at work and its not really something that recommended on doing so and its
never been that recommended that you would really be making yourself that involving with some gambling on the time that you are at work.
Ever since i dont have this kind of experience on trying to gamble in my work hours, aside from that it isnt allowed but also im really that too keen on spending up money
with gambling which we know that its not really that something too easy to spend some money on gambling specially if you are really that just an average earner.

I once had an ugly experience when I was working years back and the worst of it was that I was working in a betting shop. I will have to spend all my wages gambling and in the end, I was left with little or no stipend to take care of my basic needs. Psychologically you won't be balanced at all. I was left with no other option other than borrowing money from my colleagues to sustain myself. The way I use to think and work got retarded due to emotions. In other words, it affected me negatively. I took a bold step to quit the job because I already became addicted to gambling which affected my financial status.

Gambling on a mobile cant be that rare nowadays so its a given it will happen in work at least sometimes. I'd say no personally as I find it too distracting however I would certainly read the sports pages and discussions on bet potential. So its slightly hypocritical of me to say I never bet when actually I'm thinking about betting, placing down a bet on break is about the furthest I think its safest to go without the habit becoming a problem of interference and distraction. Also its bad voodoo, earn money in work not spend it :p

The primary rule is never bet with the money which you can't afford to lose, in reality people ignore it and face the consequences.

I manage my finance well and I don't gamble a lot so whoever is gambling with their salary and don't have any other source of income just don't gamble at all or at least limit your gambling budget to be 5% of your net salary per month, so this will give you an idea about when to stop betting especially when you are losing.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅

I won't even try that assuming I'm a gambler... Let's say you work for a company that every customer pays cash directly to you(as the cashier), if you can't control your gambling habit, there's every tendency that you'd fund your casino wallet with the company's cash to wager on a so-called sure prediction, with the hope of replacing it before making the normal day's returns...
Unfortunately, such huge risk ain't even Worth taking since it'll definitely end up in big chaos... I cannot rely that much on anything that can possibly be predicted.

There probably isn't a good reason that you're gambling within work time and it's probably signalling that you have an addiction if you cannot keep it until out of your work hours. While it is humorous to pretend you are getting paid to play games, it can put you in the wrong mindset and if you're not careful can lead to you losing your job. Some people don't realize that things like Wifi connections might be tracked and monitored, leading to your boss finding out which websites you've been on - if you're connected to the wifi that is. In certain trades which have large gaps of time available, I can see why some people end up doing it, but you'd be better off finding free games to play if you enjoy your bank balance going up instead of down.

I have never compromised my money to gambling that is, allocating huge amount of my salary to gamble because I have a very big insight on what it cause to me and moreover it is not something we have to put trust as an ends meet where we are typically relying to make a larger profits. Although a larger portion can come into whenever we have a sure winning and also lose greatly whenever we allocates a higher amount to gamble but that is not what we can be sure at because it doesn't deal with accuracy or professional we are in our prediction rather being challenged as a luck based game with little or zero chance of winning.

I'm the only one that can narrates how much energy I've put in before getting this job, then swinging it away due to distraction is not an option. When it's time for work, 100% concentration is on work because it's definitely what settle my bills and make me comfortable in my current state. Gambling just serves as an extra activity inother to fit in free time, we are present to face the joys and sadness of life.
Money compromise on gambling, ofcourse this doesn't always end up good because we record heavy lidded, perhaps not everyone hare opportune to grab their enormous winnings on first wagering, we have what we call beginner's luck, which deviates as time goes on.

Totally just that common sense that you would really be needing to avoid on doing gambling when you are at work on which it would really be making out effects on your work efficiency and could possibly be giving that kind of risks on losing that job once you do mess up with your job. This is why its never been that ideal on doing such thing when you are at work but if you are already off duty then this is the only time that you should really be playing.So far i havent really been able to play gambling when im at work since which i do have that field type of work on which i dont really have that moment or vacant for me to do so.If im really that
been put up on office work type then i might really be that ending up on playing but it does really depend yet there are office works which wouldnt really be giving out that play window.

Its not really that bad to gamble as long you do know on how to do it on the right time or simply doesnt compromise your job or work then its really just fine. Also dont make yourself
to be get caught with your boss because playing at work is never been acceptable or something that really be allowed or tolerated.This is why you should really
know the measures.

These will usually depend on the individual's own will to gamble at work outside and in the office, where you have to do everything yourself and be under the control of the boss if there is an obsession with gambling it will have a negative effect on work. Both will cause harm at work when gambling becomes addictive gambling at work can get out of control. Along with the negative social consequences associated with business serious social and financial problems arise. That is why it is better to take your office work seriously without putting yourself in harm's way at work.

I think more than that, it's the mental effect on us gamblers. Assuming that you are working, of course you will do everything in that 8 hours of your job. And after that, maybe you can think of your gambling activity and that's where the problem starts. Specially as the OP described or any other threads here in this board, after a big lost, some of us suffer some health issues, whether it was just in our brain or physical issues.

So it's really very difficult for gamblers to overcome this kind of mental problems. I for one, will have also have to go to this kind of unpleasant feeling. But I have to fight it out because I know that I have work to do the next morning. So I just usually play on weekends so that even If I don't feel like going out of bed early morning, it will be just ok on my end and my job are not going to be affected.

Nothing wrong if you gamble at work but make sure that it doesn't affect your work and you're off duty when you do that. As long as it's your money and you don't touch your company's money or anyone from your colleagues. But if you're going to that point that you're also using your company's time and resources to your gambling then you will pay the price of it. Your work ethic will also be affected and brought to the point that you will never like and you'll regret it in the end. Well, I'm not trying to be clean but I have never done this although with other websites and activities, I've done it except gambling. Since before, there's not that much gambling sites that I know when I was in the office and good thing that I have not known any of them during those times because despite my office not being strict, they're always asking things related to our daily tasks and what we've done on our office hours.

Gambling at work to me, means a lot since it is a form of distraction and that is why some company never allow the use of personal computers at the work the reason being that with a personal computer, the worker will have more things installed in it such as games and other gambling apps and tools, so allowing them to work from such PC will cause a lot of distractions to them along the way, so best thing is for the company to provide them with a working PC that has nothing on it unless the official workplace for the staff to carry out the job.

Sometimes, those who work as private businessmen and work for themselves can be flexible and gamble between work schedules, but to be honest it doesn't sound well to gamble at work for me, since it does cause distractions.

Once I was told by a wise professor of mine, that problems in our life start to worsen when we do things intended to be done in our homes while we work and also when we do work at home.

I believe that is why we can't mix work with party time. When we try doing everything at once, it becomes a mess, and we can't define precisely what we have to do next, decreasing our performance at work, while not having any fun at all through the leisure activities such as gambling and games in general, due to being too anxious and overloaded with so many simultaneous activities.

After all, it's useless to exceed our mental and physical capacities. Better to do less things, but with excellency, than doing many things without any quality and pleasure.
