I’m always a victim of this mistake before when I’m still allure on online casino. I keep playing every night after work. I always play until midnight which makes me consume most of my rest time for my job preparation tomorrow.

The result is I don’t have much energy at work due to insufficient sleep and I lose funds on gambling because I keep playing quick due to my limited time. The effect is very disadvantageous to me since I both lose in these situations. This is the reason why I change my gambling pattern significantly that limit me to play only during weekends when I don’t have job tomorrow.

This is an advice based on my experience, don’t ever insert gambling on your schedule if you really don’t have free time for it because it will always result to disaster in both gambling and your life.

It is an addiction. You are also losing which is another sign that it is an addiction. If you have stopped this habit, it will be good. If you do not stop, it may later has side effect on your health and which you will not like. I have this habit before but I have also stopped since few years ago. If you do not have time to gamble, do not gamble. If you want to gamble, gamble with little amount of money.

Yeah I agree. I realized it’s already an addiction and luckily I snapped out immediately before my career was affected badly. I have a wake up call to change my pattern due to the physical stress it gives me to lack of sleep.

This is the time when slot games and live games is newly introduced to crypto casino after long period of dice, crash and other house games domination on crypto casino.

What’s your trigger that helps you stop? Mine is I can bear anymore the lack of sleep while working. It’s not really worth it considering I’m losing money too on my bad night in gambling.

You are experiencing a sort like addiction and that is some symptoms that need to watch for since if you can't control your gambling habits then it affect your life totally then I guess you really need a help. What good thing you have been done there is you adjust on situation so that there's less damage can be created on your activities. But since you decide to continue I guess you might experience the same if you didn't correct all excessive actions and decision you have been done. Maybe best to check yourself and ask dome advice or guidance from your family or experts so that you can get a good advice that can help you get away on any possible risk of more deeper problems on gambling addiction.

As someone who enjoy his gambling activity from time to time, I totally get where you are coming from. I really understand how it is so tempting to spend every evening on online casinos, especially after a bad or hard day at work. But I have been there too where staying up late playing then struggling through the next day feeling tired and lazy to complete many tasks. It's a repetitive bad routine because not only do you lose out on sleep, but you end up losing much money too because you rush your bets to earn something or recover in before bed.

luckily I have learned many lessons in the hard way that made change my habits. Now I only gamble on some weekends when I have the time to really enjoy it without sacrificing my next day or my health. believe me it's made a huge difference how I was and what I have became. So I totally agree with your advice : don't let gambling change and interact with your schedule if you can't afford the time for it. It's not worth the stress and the risk of losing. Sharing such experiences helps others to learn it the easy way and not the hard way.

However, management must still be applied in any case, especially in terms of managing time and finances, and I see from your story that you seem to have become one of the gamblers who is quite addicted because you are already quite dependent on always gambling every night after work and obviously it will greatly interfere with your life from various aspects and one of them is obviously very bad, on the time and finances you have, but on the other hand it is good because finally you can realize your mistakes that are too excessive in gambling involvement which ultimately makes you change it significantly for the better.

On the other hand I also have a friend who has the same approach and way of gambling as you, where he often gambles after work which is supposed to be the only time for him to rest but not with him and his habit is that he usually replenishes his digital wallet balance to me every time he comes home from work with the aim of playing at night until dawn, and a few weeks ago he had a bad incident which was like what you said that he lost fitness due to lack of sleep which made him experience an accident tragedy when he came home from work because he might not be able to withstand sleepiness and fatigue. The point is that the impact of excessive gambling can cause a lot of problems in your life and can also sometimes adversely affect the people around us.

Involvement of an attitude that is very curious and really wants satisfactory result from gambling often causes gamblers to make quite fatal mistakes so that they end up experiencing various bad impacts which may make them feel difficult.
Time and money management is the most important part for gamblers to be able to protect themselves from various bad impacts that can occur at any time, this also allows gamblers to have controlled attitude and be able to be responsible gamblers.
But I see lot of gamblers who forget about managing their time and money when gambling until they end up spending their days just gambling and spending all the money they have.
Things like this are very easy to happen for beginner gamblers who still feel too happy about gambling and have desire to get much better winning results.

Good advice and it is highly recommended to gamble when only have free time, such as on weekends when are off work or there are no other important activities, this can help gamblers avoid several problems like the ones you have previously experienced.
Moreover, gambling every day without determining the right time to start and stop is also not good attitude and can have various bad impacts and unwanted risks.

Good advice, I believe you're right when someone doesn't have enough free time then that person should not gamble at all. That person may do some bets with lowest amount possible but not more than that. It's better to have some free time and do some research when you're betting, I mostly prefer sports book and in that research is most important.

I often give enough time to research before placing any bets. I avoid bets on daily basis, I bet on very few event once in a week or twice to thrice in a month. That's why I don't get addicted to gambling and I do it with full responsibility.

Even with that approach I face some losses which's part of gambling but I feel happy when most of my bets are winning ones. I don't consider gambling as a way to earn but a way to have some fun and that's why I don't bet on daily bases.

I have implemented this for the past few months so that I only gamble on weekends, so on weekdays I really use it for work and family, sometimes we also need to allocate time for family, we don't have to gamble every day unless we are business people or unemployed who can gamble. every day, if we are workers, we should find the right and relaxing time to gamble, for example on holidays or weekends because we can be more relaxed when gambling without having to lose sleep because of gambling.

I almost often see some of my friends gambling at work and they often steal time to gamble while working which makes them less productive, I had time to wonder why they had time to gamble at work, even though playing at work is not their place. which is convenient for gambling because previously someone was fired because they were caught gambling at my place of work, so it's best to find a holiday or weekend to gamble so that you can gamble comfortably without having to think about oversleeping tomorrow because you have to go to work. After all, when playing gambling, you don't have to be too hasty to chase anything. Playing at the right time will make you more focused.  ;D

Fortunately, you have made a quick call to change your habits as it will not only affect you physically, and financially but also mentally. You seem to already have a tight schedule which makes you so busy at work with your tasks here in this forum, if it happens to me, I don't know how to fit in my gambling habits because I'd rather choose to rest than spend my time in gambling.

Gambling, while you are exhausted, will highly affect your decision-making and how you take action in gambling. The result has already been decided even if you have not even started. Unless you are really lucky that whatever you do, you will win. 👌

This is a serious sign of gambling addiction if you do not have time and yet you try to prioritize it even if you are tired from work or very sleepy, those addicted gamblers are like this they don't care if they are tired or lack of sleep even lack of funds they will find a way to gamble.

This is why we see people who are addicted to gambling look haggard, mentally depressed, and always look tired because their bodies and minds cannot keep up with their addictions.
All they know is they want the feeling of satisfaction brought by the dopamine effect at the expense of their health.

Gambling at random does have it's advantage and disadvantage aswell, so I think it's actually relative but then ideally it's actually good you don't gamble if you don't have the time to make proper pick and at the end of the day you just keep loosing money, it will look like you are wasting fund but then since gambling is a game of luck, we can't put out the fact that there are sometimes that, we could be lucky even with the improper picks that you have made

If you want to gamble just for fun then you can go ahead and gamble as you like play whatever pick you want to make a d you may just get lucky or may lose aswell but then if you are gambling for the purpose of winning it's really good you take out time to analyze a d make a proper pick so as to increase your chances of winning.

Good advice.
We tend to forget the time when we are gambling. I know that because I've done it before and I can say that I understand what you went through because I also have been unproductive because of it.

A simple change is what I've done. I don't bring my smartphone with me when I go to bed. Or if I do, I will make sure that I won't open it. It's just there as an alarm clock so I can wake up early.
I think it's the same dilemma as those who are addicted to social media applications. They stay all night in bed because they brought their smartphone with them and they didn't know that browsing social media had been consuming their time. Worse, it will damage your eyes which might cause blurring of the eyes.
You did a great job. Time management is very important when it comes to our habits especially the bad ones like gambling.

If you don't have time to relax and you're always stressed out doing an activity that often causes stress - gambling - your results will deteriorate rapidly because you won't be able to listen to your inner voice and make informed decisions. Losing control is the easiest thing that can happen to you

Anything that is taking your time to be productive at work or that is making your work hard for you, you need to quit that thing. Gambling can be fun but when the fun is up to taking someone's time and money, that is no longer fun but addiction and suffering. If anyone is having this type of addiction, the person should just quit gambling or just gambling only when he knows he has time for it. I as an example of someone that is gambling, I do not gamble during the weekdays but just during the weekends and it is not more than 1 hour each day.

This is why time limit is also important thing when we are dealing with gambling activity.
Gambling after work is fine but you should not spend too much time for it, you should know when to start and when to stop wisely.
Frankly speaking, I was at the same situation few years ago when I spent most of my time playing poker game but luckily I realized that I did it wrongly so I started to have time limit on how long to play per gambling session.
Now I do not play poker as much as what I did in the past, I'm now a slot player so I can spend less time but I can still enjoy the game.

I think that trying to create time for your gambling activities, depriving you from doing the needful at that moment means that you are getting addicted to gambling, and you are gambling to make profit, and not for fun. This is why you prefer to gamble in the night, and dose in the office the next day, forgetting that your work that gives you the money you use to gamble, is at stake too.

If we believe that gambling is a means of entertainment, then we should gamble at our time reserved for it, so that we can have all the fun without affecting us tomorrow. It is addiction that will make you forget about the right things to do at the right time, because you want to double your money all the time, but the funny part is that you will always run at loss.

Don't play games that will consume a lot of your time, instead choose to gamble on sports. When you already have a free time, then you can play any games that you want. Rest is really important, taking naps or consume caffeine when you're sleepy won't recover the quality of rest in night time.

And the most important thing is, even though you've change your gambling habit, it will not affect to your winning chance.

I also experienced that on our fiesta I could not stop going to the carnival in our place where there betting tables, even when I'm tired from work I always leave the tables at their closing time that's midnight and that leaves me only 5 hours of sleep as I need to get up my 5 in the morning.

I cannot stop going because I will miss the excitement and my chance to make money, it only stops after the fiesta and I lose weight because of this, I lack sleep and am always too tired.  

I don't think anyone would like to waste their money on gambling by just throwing it away into some bet without wanting to do a proper check of what they want to stake before they go ahead. If a gambler is doing that to be quick to bet again as soon as they lose, there are two main causes of that and that is lack of emotional control and leading to greed because such gambler doesn't want to lose his money so he doesn't give time to prepare before betting another one.

Of course, anything you do without proper preparation then you are likely to be crashing out of it. You don't really need so much of time to gamble but what you need is to use your preparatory tools and check on your research tools before taking a bet and if you lose, you need to understand what is wrong and know the mistake made before you go betting again. You don't have to bet minutes after minutes because you are losing, no because you will keep losing.

Amen to this, I’m a slot player too and I spend less time too on playing it since there’s a quick feature already to fast forward the games compared before during the initial introduction of slot which the quick spin is still very slow.

Besides I usually stop immediately whenever I hit a huge multiplier except when I hit the high multiplier too early while I’m still satisfied on playing slot games. Lastly my assurance that I will not be overly committed on slot game time is I’m using only small amount of money as budget for my slot game. This method guarantees a quick win or lose result for me.

For me, gambling is okay, maybe if you ask me personally, of course I will answer, gambling doesn't have to have a special opportunity or time to do it, the point is that we are aware and understand our real work.

So far I only gamble for about 1-2 hours on certain types of games, yes of course this time can drain our energy and time, for this reason I currently only like to gamble on sports betting types, Maybe this type of sports betting doesn't require a certain amount of time, once we are sure about the sports bet we are placing, of course we don't have to control it anymore like slots, we just have to wait for the final result of losing and winning, I think those who are busy in the real world, maybe gambling in the sports arena is a good choice to save free time.

It's like an addiction we know too well, we are aware of gambling addiction but we still keep doing it and then advise someone to not do it.

It's not unusual though. A gambler should know as they experience it themselves. Its good to see he didn't quit his job just to gamble so he still has his priority on set and can go on without gambling.

I do gamble on several occasions but I don't mince my resting time with gambling I know it's not good because it's only one of many signs of gambling addiction. Never at a time should we make the mistake of giving up the time that is resourceful to our source of income to spend it on gambling as it would affect our productivity to work, perhaps also putting our job security at risk for an activity as gambling that is not reliable.

I don't like panicking while gambling because it doesn't make you stable to make better choices with your predictions in the case of sports games, and it doesn't make sense that I should not be enjoying an activity I was supposed to be enjoying just because am doing it at the wrong time and don't have much time to engage in it as should at a much free time.

Even in weekends though when you do it and continue to lose money that will have an effect on your upcoming week as I know this from my personal experience,losing money makes one sad,it makes one even more sad when the losing of money continues and it never looks like a good session so one can make some money to forget about all those lost amounts.

For your mental health this is very bad and it is going to impact your personal life if you have one and of course your job life,there is no doubt about it,in such situations the best thing to do is to ask for professional help and quit gambling for good.

The first step to getting out of a problem is to first admit that there's a problem, and with the self realization of the problem will help the individual to find a solution, and I'm glad that you where able to see where your gambling problem lies and you delt with it. Prioritizing your time and knowing when to do things that needed to be done is very effective, so you shouldn't let gambling to disturb your capability of where you get your daily bread, because gambling doesn't assure you of steady income, infact you lose more than you profit in it. Gambling should be for your free time and remember to gamble the amount that you can afford to loose.

This depend on the type of gamble you are involved in. Some gamble are time consuming whereas some are not and can be done one off. Whatever be the type of gamble, they require some time and metal stability to be able to make clear decision. While those that can be done one off like sports betting, the only time required is that needed to make the selection, there after the bet can be placed while you face your other activities. On the other hand,  gambles that require one to spend time may be what you are referring to in this posts. They are actually engaging and emotionally draining, the reason I tend to refrain from most of them. Indeed they are not to be engaged in when time does not permit.

I agree.  Gambling should be a form of entertainment.  If it is ruining your life in any way you should definitely stop.  It's just like everything else, moderation is the key to life.  Gambling is a huge addiction for people and with the ability to drain all of your money it's something that Definitely needs to be managed.

That's how gambling works if human abused of having it. Aside from health issue, time management issue, mental health issue, financial issue, it also affects your behaviour between your relationships that will be destroyed if not stopped immediately, and you can call it addiction.

We should gamble in moderation and in moderation as you do, because gambling excessively is not a good thing, especially when chasing victory, it is not recommended. There are people who gamble at the expense of part of their time, they even gamble for long sessions which is not recommended, such as gambling at work, in my opinion this should not be done, because during working hours we have to be professional with our work. which are owned.
I agree with you, basically I think gambling should be done in a relaxed manner, therefore it is better to gamble in your free time, because by enjoying gambling maybe it won't cause problems, rather than gambling with panic or fear. If you lose, it could be a potentially big problem, even though losses in gambling are certain to happen.

I think the subject title isn't appropriate since of course, how can you even do gambling in the first place if you don't have time to do it?

The appropriate title would be,

"Don't force yourself to gamble if amid our busy schedule"
"Stop gambling if it's affecting our real-life responsibilities already"

Either both, time management is important in our everyday life.

We should try to change, or much better remove already, some of our regular habits that don't contribute good anymore in our life.

Already you should know the effects of gambling in our lives is either change us for good or change us negatively which will affect your behavior activity and lifestyle most times when people are talking what matters all you could be thinking is how to achieve your gambling goals making you lose concentration toward how to shaping your life.

Gambling shouldn't be compared or merged with our daily routine or activities otherwise it will slowly leads us into destruction since we can't focused to work on ourselves concerning how to control the effects on us.

I think we should learn to control ourselves, not to allow greed take over us because to me betting when you place bet and noticed that you are losing, not only the first bet but in all why not stop and go to bed sleep and have rest over your work then prepare against the next day instead of vesting all your time gambling continuously without securing any winning over the night.

Depends on your routine. As mentioned, you are playing after work wherein you have a choice to gamble on your rest days. Time management is the key if betting really has a place in your day. Also, no one is required to gambling daily; of course if there are other things that matters more, it should be prioritized. You had a job presentation and still chose playing 'til midnight and when it resulted to a problem, things will be generalized. It is no longer having the time to gamble but rather betting whenever you're free to do so and if you really want to. We re all free to skip days or weeks or even months if we have other things to do. Self-discipline, time management, setting of priority would be the bottomline here. I get the point and I appreciate it but there are just times we know what's bad and good but we still choose to do what might cause problem afterwards probably due to a drive.
Well, that escalated quickly. Again, it is not gambling which is only an activity but rather the bettor. We do all have control of our actions unless you are already having symptoms of addiction which will make you impulsive of gambling. Gambling is only an activity; money and entertainment are factors which triggers that drive within us. It is our responsibility to control those drives for us to do things properly.

just curious, how long do you usually gamble after work? I've done the same thing for a while now as a way to unwind(I mean gamble after work) and I usually just gamble for an hour or perhaps an hour and a half which still leaves me a lot of time to do something else after gambling but then again, my work hours are flexible so I guess it is one of the reason why gambling after work doesn't affect me much.

Addictions is one bad thing that starts as a joke and then being it will hit you hard untill you are able to nap yourself out of that state at a point because most of the time, some people continue in that addictions process untill they end up as a victim of the doverstating effects of that addictions that could result in some form of crisis that may not be good for the overall well being of the gambler, some times it best we gamble with the mindset that we are not chasing the winning and also not being over bearing in our gambling quest.

All forms of gambling are unlimited to the period a player wants to stay in a casino. Games like slots don't get hold of the player's time like card games. Hence, slot players, for instance, have enough control over how long they gamble. A person can also decide to quit playing a session with two or more players. That means he's lost the game. However, gamblers in the Op's context who gamble while busy or scheduled for an event wouldn't focus on making the right decisions while gambling. The casino is best visited, online or offline, when we've completed the scheduled task for the day. And wish to advance the day with fun and relaxation.

One can choose to visit the casino and try out luck while experiencing fun. This type of trouble is for most players. The impulse tries to magnet the player to try out quickly and meet up at the meeting or party. Two challenges could erupt. The player may end up not going there or arrive very late. Gambling is challenging to players, and staying careful at every given time is worth it. I don't think it's that simple to play out with gambling, because it requires monetary and mental strength. Hence, gambling causes a loss of control for some, they may do something wrong enough to terminate the trip or event. Being hurried, and overexcited are possible red flags in gambling.

You need to have fun while gambling so it is important to be relaxed while doing it. If you get stressed while playing then you shouldn't be doing it because you are only harming your body even further. If you still want to gamble after work, give your body some time to rest before you get into playing. Gambling might be fun but you still use some serious brain juice while making decisions and a tired body will make things even worse. That's why the best time to gamble is the weekends I think. It is because you have much more time for everything. You can relax more and do many other things.

I always tell myself that I won't play gambling games that depend on luck because they are games that consume a lot of time and easily make people play every day, I say this because the only day I played gambling games who depend on luck to win, that was more than 4 years ago, at that time I played for 5 hours of time without realizing that a lot of time had passed and I wasn't playing with a lot of money, it was little money. So after I finished playing I started thinking what would have happened if I had been playing with a lot of money and I stopped for hours to think about the seriousness of what had happened and I came to the conclusion that I should stop playing any game of chance. that depended on luck and just stick with sports betting

and even in the case of sports betting, I have only bet on football and specific tournaments such as the main European leagues and their cups, national team games when they are qualifying games for the euro, world cup, cup america, cup African nations. as cup games are events with a large time interval and games from the main European leagues are held on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. So I have little time to spend in casinos. because it only takes less than 2 hours a week to analyze and bet on the games I want and then I don't bet on anything, I just keep following the results of the games on Google. i.e. I spend less than 3 hours of time at the casino in a week. and I spend 3 months without placing a bet when the games in the main European leagues end

It would really be just that requiring some common sense if you do ask me, because on the time that you would really be able to make yourself wary on the situations that you are into
specially if you have seen that you had already affect out your own work.Then it would really be just that normal that you would really be making out some adjustments so that
it would really be making things look right again. We do know that once you have starting on having mismanagement with your time which causes for you to be that non efficient
when it comes to your work due to lack of sleep because of gambling then its normal that you would really be needing to have that adjustment.

It would really be that normal that you would really be seeing this to be disadvantageous on the time that you would be seeing your work is been affected.

It's better to just do gambling, only if we intend to do it regardless if we are busy with our schedule or not.

It's good to play gambling if our interest is present at that particular time rather than just doing it because we want to make money even though our body is tired anymore because of all-day work. It's ok to gamble a bit after a tiring day of work or before going to sleep but not to the point that we will spend several hours playing on it which lessens our sleep hours already and a result, lack of energy at work and any other regular activities daily.

I agree, I also had the same experience as you. The difference is, I don't have an impact on my work, it rather destroys quality time with my family. I play as long as I have free time, even when I find quality time I also gamble at online casinos.

In the end it ruined my mood when I was with my family, I really regret it and will not do it again, in conclusion, don't play occasionally if it will ruin your time and play with money you can afford to lose.

You have actually brought up an important point, we have been saying so far that there is nothing wrong with gambling if you can afford the funds for gambling. But our time sense should also be kept in mind and I think those who have no time sense while gambling are one kind off addicted person to gambling. And addiction never brings anything good. It used to be like this before when online gambling was new to you, I wasted a lot of time on gambling and it affected my studies and work.
I think that just as we set aside some percentage of our income for gambling, we should set aside some time in our 24-hour routine for entertainment and complete the gambling within that time and if we exceed this fixed time, it should be considered for that day. should be closed for. If not, it will indirectly cause us financial loss as well as physical damage For example, you may suffer from insomnia, and stroke to reduce it.

For sure you should be gambling if you dont have time for it, if it is taking up other time then it's going to be a problem for sure, You could easily get productive on doing things other than gambling, I mean personally I treat gambling as an entertainment, after work you could for sure gamble sometimes and its kinda feel great doing it just to get entertain, but not really since it involved money it gives me a little stress as well and I really needed to be careful on my what I do because I could potentially lose money on it, I mean no one wanted to lose their money on gambling right.

It is definitely doable with the right time management you could schedule things like gambling for sure on a limit, like for example every weekday so that you have your free time right, but at the same time you limit your risk of losing money on it, If gambling is already affecting your life like what you have said it making not get productive on work because you dont have enough sleep, then you just have to stop that gambling easily move to other days probably where you dont have nothing to do, just make sure that your gambling is not going to affect your life then its fine gambling.

Schedule could easily benefit how you do gambling since you be able to monitor it easily, and having that control time that you are giving on gambling is going to prevent those behaviors or having a spike on your emotions which is really a problem on gambling.

When you are on family time then it would really be normal that you would really be that get changed up the mood specially when you do lose money and this is why it would really be that just important that you should really know at least on what you are doing or something that do talks about being sensible with your actions because if you dont make yourself that too mindful on things
then you are really that susceptible into that possible devastation or change of mood on which it would really be compromising things around and this is something that
can be avoided if you are really just that mindful with your actions. It all matters with self realization and decision making because not all would really be that good when it comes to it.

In general, gambling is for money, that is the mindset that most gamblers have. Meanwhile, if you think like that, then it is clear that addiction is very difficult to avoid and the bad effects of gambling are very difficult to cure. Gambling should be for fun and it will make the gambler play within reasonable limits and will not damage the many things he has to have.

It is always said, be a responsible gambler, it is advice that basically every gambler should consider if they do not want to get into a lot of trouble from gambling. It is difficult to be a responsible gambler as long as money is the goal of the game, but understanding reasonable limits in gambling is mandatory.

Gambling is just entertainment and entertainment is not our main priority, duties and responsibilities are the main things we have to complete. And of course, when we are faced with tasks and obligations that must be carried out, sometimes this makes us a little stressed and makes us feel quite depressed. However, it is not a good idea if you intend to relieve stress and depression by gambling, because gambling is full of uncertainty and if at the end of the game you lose. So, instead of these activities making us feel happy and a little relieved, they can actually make us even more stressed and depressed. This could make us unfocused when we return to work.

And when we don't have enough free time to gamble, it would be wiser if we skip gambling activities and focus more on completing our tasks and obligations. In other words, we can only gamble after we fulfill and complete the duties and obligations that we carry out.

Glad you were able to set your priorities straight before the unimportant activity (gambling) ruins you.You were not alone on this,  many people faced this and some are still facing it now.  Those who cannot create a balance between their jobs and gambling are irresponsible and in most cases addicted.  A responsible gambler should be able to manage his time well so his gambling habit doesn't ruin the things that matter most to him like his job, family,  loved ones and even his religion. When there is no balance, definitely one, some or all aspects of his life will suffer the consequences. We should be conscious of ourselves whenever we gamble so we can really tell when things are not going well so such can be corrected immediately before things go bad

If you do not have the free time to gamble, it means that whenever you gamble you will be gambling under pressure, and gambling under pressure is not a good way to gamble because your chances of winning will be limited. Create a time for gambling, so you do not gamble under pressure. If the idea is also gambling for fun, fun will not be had if you do it in a hurry and under pressure because of your busy work schedule, hence the importance to create a time and schedule for it.

An advantage to having a schedule for gambling is that you get to gamble less, and reduce the chances of getting addicted.

We also need to state as a side note that not all games require a lot of time for you to play them, and for some other gambling like sport betting, you can make your analysis in the midst of other activities, it only requires a few minutes to place your bets after you make your choices on sports betting.

Same to you OP, I had that habit before that after finishing all my night regime activities after work and it's now time to rest, I will take a bit of playing slot games before taking a long nap. However, once the game goes into the exciting and thrilling part where winnings are more often to happen and free spins are exploding like crazy after just a few manual spins, instead of just a bit of playing, it will now pump my eagerness to continue without realizing the night is going too deep.

Good thing I've now changed and only do gambling once I'm sure that I'm free all day long so that in case of continuous winning and luck associates me that day, I can also accommodate them all day long. The only solution there is to force ourselves to change.

You are to be blamed for forcing yourself to gamble, you should not have done that for any reason as gambling should be done when everything is rightly in line. Even at that time you force yourself, you will not be gambling at your best since you are forcing it after the whole long days of stress. At that time, you should be relaxing and cooling your brain and not do what will put more stress on you by not relaxing well prior to another working day. However with the nature of your job, the weekend is the best time you can gamble if you are such that do not have the time to gamble after work and your work does not also permit you to gamble during the work hours.

I am happy you have resolved this on your own and it shows clearly that you are not referring to the sport betting, because you can do enough with sports betting, if you want, before the matches are played. You will only get to check the results later. Regardless, since it's the casinos, well, you do not have a choice unless you are such that is only entertaining yourself by gambling it. But judging by the way you explained things, it clearly shows that you are not just betting for the fun of it, so you do not have to pretend so, rescheduling as you did is the best.

You are the ones who would really be getting blamed into the actions you are making and not someone. If you have noticed that you have spend up that too much time with gambling and so as with the money then it would really be just that right that you should really be controlling out the situation and have that kind of moderation or immediate step for you to be able to stop such thing.It would really be just that impossible that you cant really be able to make yourself find out if you are already on the bad side or right side of things specially into the things you've been dealing off with. It is really just that something that
you cant really be able to determine whether you would really be stopping or would really be totally continuing on the things that you've been doing.

Your experience is our experience too, lucky you can realize and change your previous gambling patterns. because, usually someone will find it difficult to change patterns that have become routines and habits. moreover, if someone has experienced a tendency towards their gambling pattern. so, you could say you have self-control in your gambling. overall from what you said, regarding your previous gambling patterns. We have experienced this too, in fact I still like to gamble on the sidelines after my work activities. But that doesn't mean I don't know the risks and consequences, but we have our own ways so that it doesn't have too much of an impact like what you experienced. yeah, starting from experience, we also learn to change patterns that can be detrimental to ourselves. the difference is, I don't always bet every night. except, where I really want to get entertainment. for example, playing slots and etc. but the gambling I like most is football, so I don't bet every time after work. yeah, just like you, you could say that every week I gamble following the pattern of the football schedule. but sometimes, there are matches that are held on weekdays. To get around this, ideally I bet and then wait for the final result. that's why, I rarely watch all the matches that are not very important to me. well, if many gamblers experience experiences like the OP today. ideally, divide your time between work and pleasure. I mean, gambling. yeah, just like the OP did.

Sounds like a you problem. Not sure what kind of gambling you are doing, but most people would stop well before their bed time so that they could get the rest they needed if their job required it.

Maybe you should look to talk to a therapist.

Gambling online easily drags a player to do such things, because they've got easy access to gamble. It's not a simple thing for a player to boycott such an urge. But with a serious-minded player, he'd think of completing his tasks first before gambling. Wagering with nothing to worry about helps the player focus on his gambling method. Gambling can't help a depressed person, yes, and it's wrong as a solution. Most people get depressed due to gambling, and using it as a cure is a double trouble. Entertainment comes at a time when all tasks have been fully completed.

The gambler chooses to rest and enjoy his free time with gambling. Retirement age is quite a perfect period for gambling. It allows the person enough space to think about gambling. Gambling while in service lands the gambler into a double mental stress. When in office he thinks of the casino, and vice versa. Hence, a gambler who is not energetic enough to hold the urge to gamble while working, or a few minutes late to an event, should stop for a while. It's a good sign of addiction. Whenever something affects our important daily activities, it's a sign the gambler is closer to addiction. As it has double-crossed the important events, and gambler gets to be more important. At that stage, it grows to a level where the place only sees gambling as the only superior event or activity.

On which games are you gambling precisely, because sport bet is very time consuming for one bet compared to casino games. But most gambling games except poker maybe don't need to spend time if you are not chasing a bonus or a promotion, or participating to a tournament. One round of roulette, baccarat or slot games takes less than a minute. And blackjack is fast too. 

This is what happens when you are addicted to it, to recover from this solution did you made any extra effort like medications and therapy sessions or you recovered just by making lifestyle changes or in worst case you continue to be same but realised this is wrong and giving warning to others?

Most of the time we get addicted to something without even knowing that and we came to realise when it's too late by that time we may be in a place there is no looking back.

Another approach is don't stay too long gambling.  If a person is really into gambling and he wanted to play after work hours, he can manage his gambling engagement.  It can be 15 min, to one-hour of gambling session, or make a fix number of wager and if the planned number is met, stop gambling.

I think the problem here relies on the amount of time spent in gambling engagement.  Anyone can gamble every day as long as he has funds, without affecting his work the day after.  The key is to allocate an amount of time that will not affect his rest and work.  I do not counter @OP's suggestion and I think it is really a great advice.  But' I believe, any gambler don't have to wait for many days to gamble due to work the next day.  A proper time management can do.



I don't think @OP is addicted to gambling, he maybe hooked to playing after working hours and staying late for gambling activity but as we can read, he is able to change his gambling pattern and is able to not use his previous gambling schedule to not get affected in his work.  That is not a sign of gambling addiction, IMO>

Maybe it is better you don't generalize gambling as entertainment. It is for you but not to some persons. There are people who see gambling as their full time job. They earn from it. Even to the extent of taking good care of their family. Of course you cant tell someone like this to be gambling only in the weekend or quick gambling. It will be everyday he gambles, doing his job and taking care of his responsibility.

I know we may feel its stupid making gambling a full time job. But i have seen and am speaking from the experience of people have seen. I thought it was really crazy earning a living from gambling as a full time job, yet it happens. Would you in anyway love to be a full time gambler if you were good in it?

You are completely right, but I think everyone has some spare time for entertainment on their schedules, no? Even if you a busy hardworking man, you must have free time one or another day for your hobby activities. That is where you should introduce gambling in your schedule. Maybe you are just gambling too often, so it's consuming a lot of your time, but if you decrease the frequency you gamble and the time your gambling sessions last, you may find an interesting balance in your routine, what do you think? This way you don't need to completely get rid of gambling, since it seems an activity you like very much.

Man, you need better time management. I don't think you playing quickly is the reason you're losing, you're just unlucky imo but playing like you're in a rush does affect your mentality. It's not only limited to gambling really, anything you want to enjoy and you rush it? That's not enjoyment anymore. That's labor.

It also seems like you're playing for too long since it lasts till midnight. You can try keeping it short imo. Maybe about an hour or an hour and a half every time you get home? Idk if it can work with gambling but it's usually my schedule to study after work (and it works). Or if you can't manage the time, manage the money instead. Make it so that your bets can only last you for that long.

Don't gamble when you are going to do it quickly because you're just doing it the wrong way. If you lose, your money is gone quickly and you don't get to enjoy it.

That's why your experience is true that if you don't have free time, it's best not to gamble and don't spend your money that way because you're totally losing everything rapidly with that.

As you gamble, make sure that you put that much time on it so that you are not going to rush with decisions and you can think properly with your bets in any kind of games that you play.

Gambling has been one of the most careful games  that I have ever seen even when you are careful or properly organized before gambling you still lost so I don’t see any reason while you be gambling in a hurry, because your prediction will definitely be a loss prediction because you may not win sometimes I really see it’s a luck but at least if you are to gamble you have to take your time,And prediction should be done properly because gambling is very risky and each time you are loss concentration it will really affect you a lot and it will be more problem because you keep on losing why you gamble. Each time I want to gamble I focus a lot before I proceed on anything to make sure my games are right I know I am not perfect but I have to try my best at least give it some time not just in a hurry.

Though, it must be pointed out who gambling and betting have become some convenient and easy to access that it does not take much of our spare time in order to have a session. Before the massification and huge adoption of internet it was more difficult for people to gamble whenever they were, they had to walk to the nearest gambling place and probably, they needed to plan those sessions in before, for them to enjoy them.

Nowadays, thanks to smartphone and internet people can log in into their favorite casinos whenever they want and during whatever the time they want. It makes easier for people to control their schedule, but also it unfortunately it is a way for people to get hooked up into gambling and start to get symptoms of addiction, it is a double edged weapon, as people usually mention.

Regardless the method one uses to gamble, the key is to keep responsibility as the most important thing when managing money.

Like we all know that gambling when we are very busy it's bad and can lead to loses. When you gamble during your work time it shows that you are not serious with your work and it's also shows that guy are gradually becoming addicted to gambling.
It's make no sense when you keep your job aside and concentrate on gamble. As I know, gamble can not provide meal on your table, so when you want to gamble makes sure to gamble on your free time and still gamble with money that you can afford no lose, this means that even when you lose the money you won't be affected by it.

It's good you later realized yourself and changed your gambling pattern. That's why it's usually advised that people should learn how to keep their habits in constant check because sometimes someone can just go off the initial plans they had for their gambling habits or every other activity. 

Some people get so addicted to gambling to the extent that they even gamble during their work hours, and some of them don't realize it until they land themselves in a serious mess. Like I said before, some years ago, while I was still working with one company, there was a colleague of mine who was so addicted to gambling to the extent that he could quickly rush off to a nearby casino shop to place some bets. Any time he runs off to the shop, I usually cover him up to avoid him having issues with his job. One piece of advice I would like to remind us of is that let's always keep our gambling habits in constant check to make sure that we are not going against our gambling decisions. 

When a gambler admits his mistake, he's truly going to learn from that experience that he did and unlikely going to repeat the same mistake. Although this is gambling and we're not going to win at all times.

But his admission is going to lead him to the right decision making when he gambles. This is where the gamblers lead on how to do the right approach because not everyone can admit their mistakes.

Realization will always hit at the end and not all gamblers have the understanding to this because we're mostly falling victims of our own pride when we're losing.

Basically it is us who have to make the decision to stop everything because obviously you can never get the real winnings because as time goes by even if you manage to get the winnings you expect still in the end you will always want a bigger amount, and it is also true that excessive involvement in gambling will not only have side effects on your health but also obviously on other things such as losing balance in your finances which will eventually make you experience financial problems.

After all gambling is basically not an activity that should be prioritized, it is just a game that is allowed when you have enough boring time without any activities, it's as simple as what you said and it's right that if you don't have time to gamble then don't gamble or when you don't have money ready to lose then don't gamble, it's better to gamble when you really have time and money that you can afford to sacrifice.

Never carry out gambling activities while working because you will be considered negligent at work, and some companies set rules to prohibit workers who have a history of gambling or gambling while working, another negative thing is that you will not get a financial management position in the company, they judge you as unfit getting this position is due to concerns about misusing company funds, so prove that you are an active and trustworthy worker even though you gamble outside of work activities.

I quote your statement above, that gambling cannot provide food on the table, if you understand it there is a very useful meaning that reminds you not to damage the image of your work which guarantees a steady income, do your work with maximum results, if you do gambling outside the zone work so you can enjoy gambling without negative judgment from the leadership.

Yeah, those kind of situations really shows on how terrible you are as a gambler. Sorry for the word but it's a fact that when you're gambling in your workplace, it's a different thing as gambling with lesser time but you're not a smartass doing that. You're using your company's time to do your things and not to allocate it to gambling.

And it can also lead you in changing your attitude because when we gamble and we're on a losing streak, like what we all know that we're on a bad mood being in that state.

So, the same bad state and mood when we gamble with less time because it can lead to losses and it's also going to affect our day and other things that we have to do for that day.

Profits don’t happen in a rush, as well as gambling is. You still have to allocate a bigger time in gambling so you can also analyze your bets before placing it and as well as enjoying your game like you’re having pleasure and fun. And this won’t be realized if you just gamble quickly wherein your mind and body is already exhausted from your day job, that will most likely result a negative outcome when gambling.

Gamble only when you have a convenient time for it. And when you feel you’ll get positive vibes that you’ll be lucky in your bets. That way, even if you don’t meet your expectations, at least you will still have a bigger time to relax right after you lose without being pressured that you’ll still have to wake up early and get to work.

One of the characteristics of people who are able to control their gambling activities well and can be said to be responsible gamblers are those who know exactly when to gamble and when to stop. Meanwhile, you cannot be said to be a responsible gambler at all. Trying to put limits on your gambling activities is a very important step that you must continue to maintain, so that you can regain balance in your life, besides this, it can also help you control your gambling activities better than before. and I hope that you can continue to be consistent in obeying and respecting all the decisions and limits that you have made for yourself, because if not, there is a possibility that you will return to irresponsible gambling. Don't ever try to violate these restrictions, because once you violate them, this will continue and return you to irresponsible gambling activities. And regarding what you experienced, maybe this not only happened to you, but also happened to other players. However, hopefully your experience can be a lesson and warning for other gamblers

If the elephant does not have enough free time, it will automatically learn how to control itself from gambling. Moreover, gambling is a type of severe addiction and one of the easiest ways to get rid of this severe addiction is to involve yourself in other activities. If you include it in all other activities, the extra time for gambling will automatically decrease, so you will have a way to stop gambling on your own. But there are some mentally disordered gamblers who can't stop themselves from intense gambling addiction despite being busy with hundreds of jobs. The extra time they allocate for gambling, even after being busy with work, is part of their traditional rules. So the mentally disordered gambler can never stop himself from gambling addiction.

Yeah, it's best to gamble with your most convenient time so that you'd be able to enjoy and taste every cent that you're spending as you do it. But if money isn't a problem to you and you just want to spend sometime gambling quickly then that's you.

Unlike us, we have to gamble in such a comfortable time so that we have the time to think and then we can't just ignore to have fun because that's the sense of gambling for the majority of us.

We gamble for some profits but mostly, to have fun.

Gambling is not an occupation but some people have made it their occupation and that's why they can leave their main jobs or whatever engagement they're supposed to do because they want to gamble. Those set of people are always quick to get addicted to gambling as a result of their style of gambling.
It's not ideal to engage in gambling as person when you actually know that you have other meaningful things to do. It's absolutely wrong to gamble when you you should use that same time of gambling to other things.
I've always advocated gor addiction free gambling activities for anyone who's engaged in the game if gambling and I'll continue to sing and talk about it so many people csn just learn from it

I recognize that situation but with more games based preoccupation luckily and without money then actual gambling, dont start what cant be finished in good order is best advice.    Try to cut back your finish time by ten minutes each night and congratulate yourself when you do manage to reign back things even a bit is a good idea.   Some sites will let you restrict your play time hours.

Also add a budget to stop the actual damage becoming worse but time itself is valuable of course and first thing is noticing that and be glad you are first at least aware enough to change, dont be negative on yourself.

I agreed on all the points because in all the professions or work if there is profit then in those professions people try their best to involve themselves in the work. Gambling is an uncertain possibility where one indulges in gambling for entertainment or one indulges in gambling due to excessive addiction. But if a gambler can keep himself busy with other activities, it becomes easier for him to abstain from gambling. In my case it's different because I usually use my allotted 20 minutes for gambling even if I am included in hundreds of tasks. Because I am so addicted to gambling sportsbetting that I never miss the 20 minutes given to me even if I am very busy. But I don't involve myself in gambling every day but at least three days a week I spend such time in gambling.

Indeed gambling is something that can cause some issues and also it can be a big time sink, even to those that manage their finances well.

For example you can play blackjack strategies for hours on end, even if you play with 0.5$ bets at a time. Maybe even in the worst case scenario your losses won't be ruinous. But the thing is also that wasting your time trying to develop a strategy or observe gambling results over time can have an impact in your life as well in other ways that can have severe effects like in relationships, personal life, jobs etc. If this starts affecting your life then you might end up deeper in the hole getting actually addicted in a way that can ruin your finances too.

Choosing the most convenient and enjoyable time to engage in the activity is a wise act of gamblers. Indeed, the experience of gambling can vary greatly depending on factors such as timing, mood, and personal circumstances. Gambling serves as a form of entertainment and relaxation that provides an opportunity to unwind and enjoy some leisure time. Selecting a time when they feel most comfortable and relaxed can fully immerse themselves in the experience and savor every moment of it.

Taking the time to gamble when you feel mentally prepared and able to think clearly can enhance the enjoyment of the activity. Being able to make rational decisions and fully engage with the game can contribute to a more positive and fulfilling gambling experience. Some may prefer to gamble quickly or impulsively, and others may derive greater satisfaction from taking their time and savoring the experience. The choice of when and how to gamble is a personal one, and what matters most is that individuals approach the activity with mindfulness and moderation, ensuring that it remains a source of enjoyment rather than a source of stress or hardship.

Good advice. Time management is something i have struggled with. Some of it was because of ahdh, some because i didn't have my priorities in order. I have realized that time is money, so i try to minimize my time making money, so i can have more time than i use it making for it (if that makes sense).

If you are gambling for fun, using your free time for it can be fun. As when it's for fun it won't take as much time and quitting is rather easy. But if you are trying to make a living from it. You can't really decide beforehand how much time you'll be using, and stress of it can ruin more then your sleeping patterns.

But it's about priorizing, as you need to figure out what you value most in life, if you want to make money, don't trust gambling to make it. Have reasonable plan, and don't wager that money you got from that away.

For me, it wasn't money. It was closest people to me and i rather have less money, if i can use my free time with them, and things i actually enjoy. One of them might be gambling, but i also love spending time outdoors, art galleries, learning and being creative, playing games, watching series, writing stuff in the internet and argue and talk with people in there as that clears my thoughts too.

So, while i have free time, i still have to manage it, and some people wouldn't probably include gambling in it, for me it's just a small fragment of things i am using my free time for. It's not even in top todo list anymore, but it's still something i am faschinated about. But if i had to reduce sleeping to add more gambling, i wouldn't as sleeping would win every time.

well, that will be a valuable experience for you and I'm sure everyone here has at least done the same thing, even if they only did it once.
until now, I still do this, but the difference is that I bet on sports more often so it doesn't involve a lot of time every night.
but before that I often played casino games like slots which I always played every night and I neglected my rest time and in the end I experienced 2 losses, namely money lost in gambling and also losing enthusiasm for work because lack of rest can interfere with concentration when working.
after doing this a little often, my wife always reminded me and tried to educate myself and improve my gambling activities to provide a schedule for gambling like you do, but the only difference was that I would only play casino games on wednesdays and holidays.
on holidays I have a lot of time to gamble and on wednesdays I have a half day job and after that I have a lot of time to rest and enjoy casino games.

with stories like this we can remind each other that if we limit ourselves or set a schedule for gambling, it is very important not to interfere with other activities and on the one hand, with limits like this we can be safer from addiction or the feeling of wanting to chase losses after regretting losing money every night, when you continue to gamble.

It would really take sheer will and determination to change your path outside of gambling.
For me, it is fine to bet once in a while, especially if you are betting on your favorite sports, and you
practically know everyone on the team or the league itself.
But if you think, your gambling activities are already hindering your important tasks such as your main job,
better re-assess your situation and prioritize the tasks that you believe have good impact in your life in general.

For wise gamblers, in my opinion, they can manage everything well, can balance their time, budget and attitude towards the gambling they do. As you said, choosing the right or comfortable time is a wise way to gamble. In my opinion, gambling must be done at the right time, such as in our free time, because gambling must be played and enjoyed well, don't let gambling mess up our emotions, because gambling done with emotions is certainly not something that is wrong. Good.
I agree with you that thinking clearly can increase the enjoyment of gambling, with clear thinking I also think gambling will run well, with many cases of problematic gambling perhaps it is because they do it with confused thinking, such as being too ambitious in pursuing victory, so it actually traps them themselves. we must do gambling properly as true entertainment as you say, not as a source of stress and problems.

Yep, self-realization is very important here, so that we know where our limits really are, which leads to making wiser decisions. In my case, I finally realized that I had made the wrong choice and since then I have never done the same thing again. Don't just gamble when you have free time, but make sure your gambling that time won't destroy any conditions.

BTW, when was the last time you made a mistake in your gambling activities?

it seems almost the same as a thread here about gambling while working but the only difference is, this post of yours is about gambling before your work starts. Well, if you know that you have something important that you need to take care of and prepare for your work, you shouldn't have used your little time to gamble, because gambling is tricky, when you say you will only gamble with a little time, you will realize that you have been playing it for a long time so It's good that you noticed it early OP, It is difficult because if it continues, it can affect you and your work if you influence gambling. We will always think that nothing is permanent today, everything can be lost if we don't value it and we always take it for granted.

I can relate to your story. I do the same thing before, especially when I'm new and got addicted to gambling. Since I work from afternoon to evening, I mostly have my free time at night. Sometimes it's hard for me to sleep because there are times that I lost, which affects my emotions and get frustrated for not winning. Then by morning, need to wake up since I need to go to work - go to work without enough rest. Because of this, there are times that I fall asleep while working and affects my productivity. Then one day, I realized that I need to change my habit since it affects me at work. I set boundaries and limits with my gambling habit, I gamble when it doesn't interfere with my daily activities or essential commitments. Always prioritize responsibilities especially your health and well being.

Your experience is simply telling us that you are addicted. You spend too much time every day and it makes you lose of focus on your work in the next day, that's a bad sign already. Actually gambling after work is fine but you should not spend too long time which make you lose your resting time after work. I would even prefer to say that gambling should not be scheduled, it is better to gamble when we have both free time and money as well as enough energy. Good thing that you realized your mistake and you have changed your habit. Experience is always a lesson for ourselves as well as for others if we share it.

You exactly know your priority, right? If you can't do things multiple times, then don't add more, especially staying up late at night just to play gambling—not just gambling but other things. The thing is, gambling is such an activity that could drain you not just mentally but physically due to the grave effects of gambling, such as bad effects like anxiety or any side effects to your brain. Based on what OP is doing, he is sacrificing his sleep time just to play gambling because he can't control himself, and because he is too addicted, it takes a toll on him.

If you know how to prioritise things, then you will know that you should not sacrifice your health over the influence of gambling. because it will not only affect your funds but also your health if you do not keep checking yourself, so better stay away from gambling if you are about to go to sleep.

Gambling doesn't take much of our time, how come yours is keeping you up every night? As if its a late-night movie or show? What am I missing here?

The biggest time I spent on a casino was an hour and this was when I was still new to gambling, I was a bit reckless then and I stopped, now it takes less than an hour unless I have a lot of money I feel like risking on gambling that day.

I use less money and it's not the type that can keep my gambling session going in the long run.

The only solution you should consider is spending less time when gambling, you don't have time? I get it, then consider sports bet, you only have to place a bet and check your result later. Place a bet on a match or two and go to bed, check the result later.

It's good that you realized that as early as possible, or else you too will have a hard time in the end. Instead of taking the time you have left to make up for the tiredness of the few hours you spent at work, you are still stealing games and gambling. That's called imbalance, and you're going to end up with severe addiction.

But anyway, at least from what I've seen, it looks like you got ahead of yourself in this matter, and it's only right that you just do your gambling every weekend, and it's a good decision you've made this op.

Actually I am also a victim of "24 hours a day is not enough". I dont know what to do with it. This expresses not only in gambling and lack of free time. Half of a day I spend away from home - work, time to get there and back, lunch. Second half if spending time with kids. I've got something around one or three hours that I can spend on my self. Sometimes I find it hard to decide how to spend it; video games, gambling, reading, gym, watching movie or tv show. Even if I would work from home and save time on the road, I would still work a lot. I understand that work consumes a lot of time, but I am sure, that even if or when I got rich, I will still work to keep myself busy. Quite a dilemma. I dont want and want to work at the same time. And cant stop working.

Right! It's great that OP is aware of the potential pitfalls even with games instead of gambling. Setting limits and gradually reducing screen time is a proactive approach. Acknowledging your efforts towards positive change is important like celebrate those small victories. Being kind to yourself in this process is essential so focus on progress rather than dwelling on setbacks

You are punishing yourself, to be honest, you don't get enough sleep which is going to affect your health state and you gamble at the time that you should be resting, which shows that you can't enjoy the games in any way, apart from losing money, why are you even gambling then?

You can't be gambling and not having fun and still keep losing money, if anyone is in same position as you its better they quit gambling, it's not just for them.

---

I don't know the type of job you do, but I know few people that don't have time when they get home for anything else, so they gamble will at work, I think this is even better if there are few free times at work even if its juts for am hour, its way better since it won't keep you from sleeping.

---

Here is another advice, you should start looking for a way to create time for yourself, the way you explain this makes me feel like you won't have time for anything in your life, including your spouse, this smells trouble, especially when you are a man, getting home and going straight to bed only to wake up the next day and go to work? Thats not good.

Honestly I believe that we are not going to end up with free time if we think of it like this. You need to create yourself a free time to gamble, or read, or watch a movie, you need to create your own free time. You think I can't pack my whole life with stuff? I can do that in an instant and nobody could stop me from doing that.

However, we don't and we do not consider that to be the most important part because we believe that we should just do what we want and face the consequences later on. I think that should be the most important part, if I am gambling at some certain point then I am doing that and it should not be all that important at all, I will end up just gambling and say that it was my free time later on.

  However it's good that OP realizes the mistakes that he was making and learn to to stop it ASAP.
   Those op class mates might not know the wrong they were doing until when they might be addicted to their acts.
   It's bad that they were gambling while on school band during lectures time, honestly speaking, when you are addicted to gamble you might not know what you are doing until you realize your mistakes, maybe by then it would have been too late for you.

It is rather obvious that we a person does several thing parallel, then he isnt focused and wont get the best result in the end. Lack of focus during gambling = increased chances of either losing or making a wrong bet. Same applies to gambling in a rush, when a person has "few minutes and plans to quickly play a game or two". It easily breaks what was planned, because if a person looses during this quick play, he will probably try to play back; spend more time and fail at something that was planned before (for example will be late).

From what I've noticed about your behavior regarding gambling, it seems like you have developed a strong dependency on it, leading you to engage in it even during your scarce moments of rest. This consistent participation, despite adverse outcomes such as losses, indicates a potential addiction. In order to lead a balanced and fulfilling life, it's crucial to organize your daily routines effectively, allocating time for both relaxation and productivity. It's essential to recognize that the time designated for rest should not be predominantly consumed by activities like gambling.

If someone has a gambling addiction or views it as a recreational activity, it's critical to set out time for these activities at certain intervals so as not to interfere with other important activities. It is possible to reduce the hazards connected with excessive gambling and promote a more harmonious lifestyle for individuals by creating an organized timetable that prioritizes various parts of life, such as work and leisure.

It is irrational to gamble with the wrong state of mind. When you gamble when you are not supposed to be gambling, you will not get the best out of gambling. Some people leave their jobs during working hours just to go and gamble. Others even gamble when they are feeling sleepy. This used to be my situation. I will be feeling so sleepy yet I will find it difficult to take a break from gambling sleep and I always lose more because what I will be playing at that time will be different from what I intend to play without even knowing. This is not a good sign because gambling requires 100% concentration.

concentration plays a crucial role in determining success or failure in gambling. Concentration will enable gamblers to analyze the situation at hand, consider the odds, and make rational choices based on logic rather than emotions. Without proper concentration, gamblers may act impulsively and this will lead to poor decision-making and ultimately losing more than necessary.

Gambling is not even something that gives you money when you need it the most, why are you killing your health over something that's not guaranteed? It's a game of luck and you need to handle it in such a way.

If gambling is taking so much of your time then there is a game that you love placing bets on, mind sharing that first? If you care only about making some money then go for games that will take a few minutes of your time.

Like betting on UFC fights and football matches, you don't need to watch them, place your bet on one and go sleep, you can check the result later in the day, or the next morning, by the way, do you work on Sundays too? Because there should always be a day off at work.

My thoughts exactly. Sports betting is the key. ;)
Not just as a favorite sport, but if you have a love for the game, it will be easy to identify the possible results of the game. But if we did start gambling with casino games, it would be a different story.
What mostly happens is, that a gambler will bet in sports betting, where he is good at, and then once he wins most of the bets, he will use that capital to play casino games which I believe is unwise. Why? I saw my profits for sports betting just vanish away in casino games. I thought I was just unlucky so I continued and it even took my last capital without any RTP coming out. I told myself that it could be connected. What you win from sports can be taken back in casino games and vice versa also works. Because there's a time I'd been losing in my sports bets and I got pretty lucky in my casino games.
I don't think that is a coincidence.
Regarding free time. Sports betting is not like you need to watch the whole match, just peeking at the scores is enough and our phones could do that by just opening the notification. I mean, it's not like a baby that needs taking care of.

In short, there is no time to do your own analysis before placing any bets, there is also no way for you to enjoy the match or the game you place bet on, you should not be gambling for real, because you aren't gaining anything.

No time for fun, no time for analysis, and you are also ruining your health too, its not even about how many times you have lost money, it's about how soinconvenientt gambling has become for you and how thats also affecting your health.

This is very bad, I advise you find away to create time for yourself or do something else as a job so that you will have time, sorry to ask, how are you having time for your children and family then? Because it seems you work all the time.

That's a common mistake made by gamblers who enjoy the game too much. Whether it's with big or small bets, when the game you play takes up your time, it's a loss. especially if you add to it you experience defeat. it's a double loss.
I don't know whether you limit your capital or not. but playing in a casino all night for a long time can cost you a lot of money if you are unlucky.

Thank you for sharing, your experience can be a lesson for other gamblers in paying attention to healthier playing times.

OP, changing your betting pattern to be weekends only, not as usual at night after work. Will it limit you from spending too much on gambling because you will still be losing on gambling at weekends? What I see you do is like someone who only reduces their engagement in gambling but doesn't map out a limited amount to spend on gambling each weekend.

Choosing to gamble on weekends doesn't change the fact of you spending the amount you can't afford to lose on gambling sites. Don't you so? there is a possibility of you spending more per weekend.

For this weekend's betting pattern on weekends to work out for you, I have a said amount you will be bringing out to gamble every weekend rather than only choosing weekends to gamble because you find it to be your free time.

What make me to gamble more on weekends is because on weekends there are several sport events most especially football because majority of the top clubs match are fixed in weekends and for that I can bet on them, on week day leagues may not be too actives and the best clubs may be playing on other tournaments which will limit the weekdays fixing.

So I weekends mostly on Sundays I make alot of bets although still within my set limits for that week, and I won't exit a second when my gambling tume is up, regardless of if a win or lose  I just walk away.

Addiction can be difficult to notice, and it is sometimes only when we reflect on our conduct that we can understand how it has severely impacted our lives. It's important to recognize the indicators of addiction, such as devoting too much time or money to gambling, ignoring other duties, or experiencing an overwhelming need to gamble. If we start to recognize these indications, we must take action to improve our behavior. I believe it is pretty gutsy for a gambler to acknowledge his errors and make a positive adjustment.

Just like the first reply under this thread, I perceived addiction too and you already admitted t it but it's good you realize it in time and change your gambling pattern. Gambling is all about having fun at your leisure or designated time but this fun should not be detrimental to your other schedules or somehow interfere with your working schedules. No one gives you a deadline to meet up with while gambling, there's no need to rush or keep late night gambling that will result to shortage of sleep. I don't know the nature of your work but I believe there's a time for break or shift over, you can gamble during that period if you think it is necessary for you to gamble.

Losing money and having a short rest time at the same time is a very bad experience. In real sense, there's actually no free time for anyone, you can just create time for things base on your preference and priority. If gambling is one of them, you make time for it. The important thing is for you to spend your time wisely.

There are different levels in addiction, OP realised his addiction in early days so he able recover on its own but in most cases users consider gambling is escaping from their daily stress and something that's bothering who are the one will keep on going and reaches the extreme level of addiction from there it's not possible to go back to complete start is not possible and it need rehabilitation for sure or atleast that's what I saw in every kind of addiction.

You would really be able to notice when its already too late on which this is something a very common in most gamblers when it comes to this kind condition specially with gambling.
Gambling is really that highly addictive and if you are that someone whose really that a greedy type of person then it would really be just not that shocking that you would really be ending up on this way.
We've seen the worst with those gambling addicts and this is something that you couldnt possibly be able to see and its impossible that you wont really be that wary about these probabilities.
It is really just that there are those people who do neglect out those risks and would really be focusing on what into those things that they do have in mind.

THey wont really be stopping not until they would really be able to satisfy themselves when it comes to gambling or entertainment leisure.

Time flies when your on the table or in front of a machine. The only thing that's only faster than time is you quickly losing your bankroll for the night. I bet you'll be forced to go home before midnight if that happens. The problem is that you'll probably still suffer tiredness from lack of sleep since you were thinking of the money gone in an instant hehe.

Gambling is like a video game, player don't easily drop the console on an serious mission. Some online gamblers are video gamers, and they see gambling is a way of getting reward for their time. When time is a luxury a gambler can play for how long he wishes, but in the middle of an event, gambling will be a wrong choice. I've watched many addicts who can't control their need to gamble. They spend time looking out for means of multiplying funds with gambling. Players do this because they've seen it work. Not minding how much profits has been made. The single prove that they can earn in gambling, clouds the player's mind to continuously participate in gambling. However, those thoughts are not easily erased and most people still stick to squeezing out time to gamble.

Since the gambler is not quite in a good position to gamble, he only wagers money carelessly, without calculating, hoping on luck. Gambling requires luck with lots of concentration. Don't know why you mentioned that those who observe the gambling machine will get affected. It seems to me as an excellent gambling habit, to observe and understand how the slot machines work in providing results to gamblers. Every gambler also need a strategy to stay in control of his game. I don't think it's a waste of time, if you understand it accurately. Gamblers learn through it and even perform better in critical thinking during work hours. Could be you have a different perspective on this matter.

Aside from not spending your must allocated time to gamble, gambling without having enough rest is also like going to work that you're not in full force and rest. I'm not comparing gambling and work but I am just comparing the state of being when someone does that when he's not having enough sleep. And that's why it's truly a bad experience when someone on that state gets to gamble and he's surely going to lose money and much better that he just take his rest and sleep than going to gamble and lose that bankroll.

Hmmm, I somehow disagree. All of us have their own free time and it's just the matter on how we're going to take care of it and spend that free time that we have. But I agree about making time for things that we do like gambling, if you have other important matters to attend and your only option is either doing that or gambling then make sure that gambling won't affect your other affairs with that because if so, then that's another sign that you're already addicted to gambling.

I have mentioned it in other posts, the point is that even diet and exercise should be included, really for any activity you dedicate yourself to, but if you are going to place bets as a form of serious income, I am not saying professional, it is priority should be given to rest, exercise and good nutrition.

Reflecting and thinking about our behavior is just a case of gambling not being deeply rooted in the soul, a certain amount of sanity is still maintained but once the roots have been contaminated from the inside, it is something that cannot be let go. Free time or busy time, somewhere addicts still look for a space, even abandon their busyness and engage in gambling behavior, many people can admit their mistakes and are aware of this bad work, but they cannot correct it with personal effort alone, they need more pressure for this.

You don't need to gamble every night. If you are busy with you jobs and other activities in real life, you can stop gamble temporarily. Just plan to gamble whenever you have free time. If you are forcing your life to gamble every night and you become have lack of sleep and rest time, it will harm your body. I can understand if you feel sleepy and lack of energy when you do your jobs. If you continue it, someday you get a serious illness.

Sure, your decision to gamble in the weekend is the right decision. In this way, you can focus on gambling and you won't have lack of energy when you do your daily job. This is also the way to avoid an excessive gambling that may lead to an addiction. Just stay with a healthy way in gambling, dude!

Not only gambling or lack of free time, but the alluring dance of immediate gratification vs long-term well-being. Work, gambling, sleep, repeat; you were trapped. And for what? A brief pleasure at the expense of your health and cash. You witnessed the harm

Gambling into a busy schedule is like pouring water into an overloaded cup. It wrecks, not just spills. You discovered the physical and mental toll of this imbalance

Your solution? Limit play to weekends. Sounds reasonable, but it's a bullet wound bandage. The problem is why you gamble, not when. Face the fact that gambling, especially when it's consuming your relaxation and work life, is a symptom of a greater problem. Swallowing it is hard, but it's the first step toward real transformation

Those that prefer to gamble quickly, they are the ones that have not that much time like OP has said. They are busy people but still want to jive in to gambling because they want to still do their thing that's related to their bets.

It can't be stopped but soon they will realize that when they've been hitting their losing streaks, that's how they're going to change their thoughts about gambling quickly.

They'll start to take their time and for them to get the most out of their money and time. No one has to rush when they're gambling unless you've been given some challenge that has pocket and time limit.

Yes, it is true that the level of addiction is different and I see from the story experienced by the OP is that it seems that he was previously quite addicted or was in a level of addiction that was severe enough that he even let his other activities be interrupted just to gamble when he should have rested, but fortunately he was really able to realize that he had entered a phase of excessive gambling that could interfere with other aspects of his life which in the end he changed everything for the better by changing his approach to be less excessive.

True, what is unfortunate is that some other gamblers consider that gambling is a game to relieve stress or escape from various problems that he is experiencing, I would not say that it is wrong if indeed they are able to control their gambling activities properly in the sense of making gambling a place for pleasure when they are in a boring situation but the problem is that some people make gambling a way to overcome financial problems and this is dangerous which is where they will do anything to be able to make money in gambling which actually in the end will make them end up with more problems.

Gambling should be done during free times as it's a leisure activity that we do for fun and entrainment. If we take gambling to be a serious activity that we do for money we have gotten it wrong and that can lead to many problems as constantly losing of money and being addicted to gambling. As a gambler you should find time that you can use for gambling and not to mix it up with other activities that you're doing in life as your work or quality family time.

I always prefer gambling during the weekend as that's when I'll have time to gamble without being concerned of I'm using the time I was supposed to use for something else for gambling. Weekends are the days of the week that I'm free from office work and mostly have fun with my friends through watching of sport games and also gambling with playing other non gambling games to keep ourselves occupied.

From most of the posts I read here, it means that a lot of people actually gamble when they were supposed to be busy with their works and I think that's a very crazy thing to do by anyone who actually means well for himself. Gambling should be done when someone is actually free from every important engagement especially work but a lot of people leave their works just to gamble and if you ask me, I think that practice is found among gambling addicts.
If as an employer I find out that my employee is gambling at a time he's supposed to be busy with work, I'll simply relieve him of his duties as a worker and employ another person because to me, I already think that he's not serious with his work and wouldn't be serious anytime soon. It's absolutely condemnable for any gambler to gamble when he should be doing something more meaningful and I advise that gamblers in the forum not to engage in such activity. Gambling to should be done during our leisure times and should also not be our source of income rather should be something we do for fun

This is a distinction in how people perceive and engage with gambling activities. It's not uncommon for people to turn to gambling as a means of relieving stress or escaping from life's challenges and difficulties. They view gambling as recreational activity to spare time. It can provide a temporary escape and a source of entertainment during times of boredom or stress. But There are still the potential risks associated with using gambling as a coping mechanism.

Those who are able to maintain control over their gambling activities, set limits on their expenditures, and prioritize other aspects of their lives can engage in gambling without experiencing adverse consequences. The danger arises when individuals perceive gambling as a solution to financial problems or a means of generating income. This mindset can lead to compulsive gambling behaviors, where individuals chase losses, take excessive risks, and prioritize gambling over other essential financial responsibilities.

What op have said is the truth, born out of my one personal experiences as well.
There were times I usually play gambling far into the middle of the night, spending the better part of my resting/sleeping hours on gambling, and this mostly happens to me when I've lost some money and become very determined to win that money back, I usually continue to play, encountering winnings and losses, the winnings motivate me to keep playing more and more, believing that at some point, I will win back the money I've previously lost and possibly make some profit as well.

I can remember one night when I played a casino game till around 3: am in the morning, i actually started playing the game around 9:.pm, which is usually my bed time,  I was hoping to double my bankroll before I sleep off, but unfortunately, it seems luck wasn't really on my side, I just kept losing and winning, and then losing it all back again, win again, and again lose it.
But I still determined to double my bankroll, when it become clear to me that it won't be possible to double my bankroll, I decided to atleast, get my bankroll back at the amount it was when I started gambling, this made me stay awake till around 3: am in the morning, and at the end, i still ended up losing more than half of my initial bankroll before I started playing that night.

And the result actually was that, I went to my business place late, because I did not wake up on time, and I also was very weak, was feeling sleepy all through the day while in my business place because I didn't get enough sleep.

So, yeah, I agree with the op, gambling at ones leisure time is always much better than trying to squeeze in gambling into a tight schedule.

Gambling only affects us when we over gamble. The best time to gamble is during free time because we spend free time during free time and gambling can be a good way to make free time more enjoyable in our busy life. But we start taking it seriously when we play gambling too much. And thus many people do not hesitate to gamble even at work.  Gambling brings only fun to the person who uses it as fun but brings a lot of harm to the person who starts taking it seriously.

Yes, in my opinion, there are still many gamblers like you who always use their rest time at home to gamble until they lose track of time without realizing that tomorrow you have to go to work and do your work activities well. And gamblers like this are very risky if they have a dangerous job and must change immediately.
And the best way in my opinion is to find another activity after work that makes you feel very tired when you get home and immediately rest, which I think is a lot, including for health. Like the gym or other sports that you can do according to your ability, or hang out with friends or do positive activities with them until you get tired and go home.
And the best way I have ever experienced it is to get married and have children, because with this I have no time to gamble other than weekends. Because after work I spend time with my wife and children until I fall asleep and continue like that or go for a walk looking for something after I get home feeling tired and rested.
And like that I assume that gambling for fun is on the weekends when there is free time to spend a few dollars and enjoy the game leisurely, which sometimes luck is on my side.

If we can manage our time then we will not spend a lot of time on gambling except in our free time, we definitely prioritize time for our main job, hanging out with family and friends, but we have free time to enjoy fun without being tied to anyone. However, as you said above, when they have allocated a lot of time to focus on gambling it can have a bad impact on finances, gambling addiction will creep into their minds to always gamble during working hours and they have changed bad life patterns because they have fallen into gambling addiction.

Make sure that gambling can never influence you to gamble beyond the money limit to lose and beyond the time limit, but if you lose control because gambling greed has taken over your mind, then the right option is to reduce gambling activities or stop gambling.

Gambling should be enjoyed. And for one to be entertained he should gamble in a stable state of mind and not in a rush. Playing games in haste will lead to losses because you might not be able to properly analyze and predict games. Sometimes I wonder how people who gamble during work hours manage to make it happen because it is not a conducive place for gambling. Weekends and holidays are the most convenient gambling time for me. Friday and Saturdays are my best time because on Sundays is a time for preparation for Monday's work.

Gambling addiction is not just about not managing gambling funds. One can be seen as having a gambling disorder because of time mismanagement. Keeping late nights because of gambling can not just lead to poor job performance but can also cause help problems. I know a friend who sleeps on the job because he is addicted to  computer games which might also the case of late-night gamblers.

There is no fun anymore when you over gamble. The fact that you maximize your time in gambling is not a good sign anymore since gambling is only intended just for pleasure and fun, and not to serve as an actual source of income wherein you give a lot of time just to get your desired profits. When you are seeing yourself gambling this way, then you should get worried immediately since there is more chances to lose if you take gambling seriously. It’s intended to bring us fun, not to make us worry and discomfort.

You were able to modify your behaviour based on unpleasant experiences that isn't helping you. And this is good. While this is your case, other people may not have a problem with taking short breaks to gamble. It is just human personality difference that varies from one gambler to another. Anyone is your shoes should follow your advice but anyone who thinks that they are doing just fine and stay with what already is working for them.

And you said it. It goes beyond funds mismanagement although strongly a part of it. Gambling addiction is just all about the individual being unable to emotionally, and psychologically being able to regulate their behaviour for the greater good. Simple a inability to delay gratification of the self.

Over-gambling is relative. A gambler can still have fun when he over gamblers. It is a matter of how much you are earning. I have seen gamblers spend millions in a casino house and still live happily. The truth is no amount of money can equate to happiness so if you gamble and then have fun with it and then spend a limited amount on it then you are not doing anything improper. It would be very wrong for a gambler to gamble to become rich.

Gambling is not a good source of finance. It cannot be overemphasized that gambling is unpredictable and so it will be foolish for any gambler to hold on to gambling as a source of making money. Instead, get a job that earning is guaranteed. This is the only way you can live a good life.

What gambling are you doing that could lead you to play endlessly? As it's not like you're ever winning long term at a casino and you would easily grind through a lot of cash in the short term with things like slots. However I do see how you can get trapped into playing a game like poker for many hours and almost end up in a zombie like state. Playing when you're not focused and tired is a recipe for losing much more money, not to mention the silly mistakes that will creep into your game to further deplete your bankroll. If you're playing this much and feel it affecting you like that, it's probably wise to give yourself a couple weeks off - then you can establish whether you have a betting problem as you might face withdrawal symptoms.

It seems that things like this don't only happen to you because in fact there are still a lot of people who do that including myself when we are already focused on a game in gambling sometimes we forget about time which actually hampers other activities that we have planned before.
But this is difficult to stop when there is no awareness of oneself which is an important factor. This is why the importance of self-discipline is very mandatory because after all this must be considered as training that we must do so that we get used to disciplining ourselves and indeed I agree that we must need to know about self-awareness because after all regardless of whether we have free time or not when we are faced with a focus that is too far away and forget about time it will have a fatal impact and habits like this must be avoided immediately.
In the end, self-control in gambling is not only from the financial situation but many factors such as time and the level of our ambition must also be well regulated so as not to harm ourselves.

The best time to gamble is actually not when you have free time, but when you are in a good mood. You will not enjoy this game when you are not in a good mood, you are angry, tired, and such. If you force yourself to play, then it will only increase your chances of losing instead of enjoying it.

Many gamblers make wrong decisions when they are not feeling well. They are influenced by anger or something so they tend not to consider risks better. I'm trying to understand it from an experiential perspective, so I think the best time to enjoy this game is when you're in a good mood. It's up to you how you understand what I mean, but that's the experience I got.

It's very similar to the situation where you're addicted to any other activity like playing video games, or watching TV series. I know a guy who gets so addicted to it that when he gets a good series, he downloads whole season and watches until he drops and goes to sleep. When we had a series worth watching we'd often discuss it and I'd watch 2 episodes a day tops, but he'd watch 6 or more and then act like a zombie at work.
The only thing I can tell you OP is to change your habits or the habits will change you - for worse. You have to be the one in control. It's either that or your family and your health.

Indeed gambling is made to be played at a convenient time, not jost anytime. Even though many people may take it as a career job but not to all. Those who have other jobs may not take it as serious as thought because they have fewer time to spend on gambling online. Playing gamble at night after work may really affect you. You don't really need to spend much time on PC after work. Like me I usually sleep a little when am back from work when I was working, after taken some breaths I sleep and wake up at night and predict matches to play the next morning, before I wake up I have already staked the game and expecting to win before coming back from work.

I completely agree with you; it's much better to gamble when you're feeling well and relaxed. If you're nervous, anxious, or upset, it's currently always not the time to make significant financial decisions. It's also important to remember that gambling should be fun and entertaining, not only about winning.
One of the most important things to remember is to maintain perspective. It's easy to become engrossed in the thrill of gambling and perceive it as a method to generate money, but the reality is that the odds are usually stacked against you. That is why gambling should be viewed as an expense for entertainment, similar to going to the movies or eating out.

When you are relaxed and not doing anything, you can used your free time to playing gambling but don't playing gambling too long and used all of your free time to playing gambling because that can makes you difficult to stops your gambling activity. You can playing gambling moderately so you don't needs to spend too much money and not getting lose many times. Playing gambling is just for fun and not having much reason, especially to makes money which is difficult to gets. Many people already lose their money so you don't have to do the same things as them because you should responsible with your money. If you can manage your time when playing gambling, you can prevent the lose not to becomes bigger.

That makes sense, I think mood also influences the game, when we gamble of course we have to be in a calm state of mind. Moreover, gambling when you are in a bad mood can actually make the gambling you do bad, with a greater chance of losing and in addition to being in a bad mood, it is possible for emotions to explode, and it is possible for bad emotions to arise. will make everything messy. Of course, gambling that is done with emotion will not be good.
Problems with gambling occur due to lack of self-control when gambling or because you are in a bad mood. When there is no self-control when gambling, decisions sometimes often occur but are not considered first, which makes everything messy, even though to avoid big losses in gambling we must be able to consider everything we will do, including taking action when gambling. . Many people make decisions without considering it first, resulting in quite serious problems.

That's right, gambling without having a time limit will only trigger a person to end up with an increased interest in gambling in the sense that over time you will find it difficult to ignore the slightest time not to gamble which in the end yes obviously you will gamble excessively and aggressively. The point is that you should only gamble when you have free time and you must make it a point that the gambling you are doing is only to relieve boredom in your free time meaning that when you have entered some other more important activities then obviously leave gambling.

However, gambling is not an activity that should be taken seriously, because everything there is nothing more than a game of chance and this is the reason why gambling is more recommended to be used as a place of fun when you have boring free time, and as you say that there are quite a lot of people who have become victims where they have experienced many bad effects and it is all due to the wrong treatment of gambling where they are too much.

gambling is most appropriate when someone uses their free time to gamble, for example on the weekend or when they finish work. by taking advantage of this free time, a gambler can make their gambling an activity that is more enjoyable and less burdensome for them. but when they play too much and don't think about the time, such as playing while working or at inappropriate hours, then gambling has become something that can lead to serious problems which can affect the gambler's life.

Really? Tell that to people who are professionally involved in gambling.
Tell that to pro poker or bridge players. These games are much more than simple gambling and you really have to be good to win in the long run. You can get lucky for a while, but consistency matters in these games.

It's a very simple advice that I agree with. If gambling influences your other activities and in a way takes over your life you should stop, but it's similar to any other destructive behavior. Even sports can be destructive if you come back in pain and risk a permanent injury. Everything is good in moderation.

Certainly, even if you have free time and focus on gambling you cannot guarantee that you will win. Gambling is not a place to generate income, but rather a place to ruin your plans because whenever you bet and the game ends on cut, you will not understand yourself and will think you should have used it for something better. gamble is for fun you should not be risking your money on gambling. It is better to take risk in another source, such as investment, trade, or other company that you can promise you will most likely earn from. not gamble whenever I bet on gambling it is not with significant money I just bet because I should support my club very well when playing to win the match. and not every time because if you addicted to bet he will be very difficult to stop gambling and you will be wasting your funds on it everyday.

Oh how I have stopped but not at all because of free time rather because of consecutive after consecutive lost sessions.While many of you will think that it is normal to have bad luck in gambling let me tell that bad luck cannot go into infinity which is what happened to me these 3 months after 4 January 2024 up in March.I stopped one moment to think and I came to the conclusion that this is not what it means to gamble,you simply cannot have 3 straight months of bad luck and I think something is very wrong with how luck works in these f*cked up slot machines that all gamblers play,that is unbelievable,I remember when I used to go almost every day playing physical slots many years ago and I don't remember 3 consecutive months only losing there at all.

That's why more people become addicted to it and if you don't have any knowledge of what you are about to become it's better to avoid it in total because when you are already there, there's only a low possibility that you can stop what you are doing but most of the time people always fall into categories of addictions where they can't seem to recover quickly rather they think of it all day and look for some other resources in order to fund their addictions over and over again until there's nothing left with them. that's why if only they could stop it soon, it wouldn't end like that.

It's a lose-lose on all sides. You don’t get enough sleep and therefore at work you are not as good as you could be, accordingly, problems may arise because of this and this will affect your financial part. Lack of sleep will affect your health. When you play gambling, you don’t have enough time and energy to analyze the situation and make the best decision; due to fatigue, emotions can take over and the wrong decision will be made, that is, you can also lose money.
Therefore, if you are interested in my opinion, then I believe that in this situation you did everything right.

For sure they have knowledge on what they are doing but they just ignore what they know and continue to do those destructive mannerism since they think its still fun to continue to gamble while they are already experiencing a heavy upset on the activities they do. And when they continue to do those things since they are still in denial then think everything is under control then their addiction became more deeper that's why we could expect that more problems will happen.

Its important for us to know our limitation also our availability to gamble since if we don't have free time or capacity to do it then maybe we should never think about to gamble since the result will surely not go the way how we expect since provably we will encounter disappointing result especially if we are so aggressive.

Obviously too much of everything is bad. When you start at first, it is more like having fun before you know you start having constant fun and then addictions come in when you can do without doing such things. That is how it happens in gambling. Addictions start from stage to stage and before you know one is totally addicted, without knowing he/she is addicted.

One thing i dislike about addictions is the lack of awareness of the gambler. You will still feel like you're having a fun while gambling but you do not know that you have lost all self-awareness and you're in lack of control of how you are gambling.

A gambler is not an addicted gambler when he can stop even if he loses. Gambling is fun only when the main purpose is not to get out of it, but to exploit the excitement. There are some gamblers who concentrate on gambling for a long period of time will definitely turn into addicted gamblers. They will be affected by various diseases including their health. If the gambler took it in for a while and quickly got out of it, it wouldn't have had much of an effect. Moreover, if a gambler concentrates on gambling while leaving his important work, then on the one hand he is harming that work and on the other hand he is also affecting his personal life. A gambler should consider these things before gambling.

This is a common mistake that all gamblers often make, they only think about their own pleasure, and often ignore other responsibilities because they are too involved in gambling. All gamblers have probably promised themselves not to lose track of time, to manage the limit of money they can spend, but we often break these promises. Yes, gambling addiction is very difficult to stop, because pleasure mixed with risk will always attract us to the same place.

Yeah it is very difficult to stop gambling addiction but a person should not only consider his own place if he goes to more addiction it will have a bad effect on the family so he should not forget his responsibility. Before going to the addiction stage set your own limits and move forward gambling is a good place for entertainment a little carelessness becomes a risk factor. Because of this mistake of gamblers they become addicted.

Yep, we who gamble certainly want or don't want to get something back from the behavior. But not being able to balance activities will lead us to fall into difficult situations. If we are just looking for joy, there is no need to be too pressured because we are always ready for any situation that may arise. I also had time to spend a few hours gambling, it took up time from work and daily activities, and when I realized that it was harming my life, I would automatically quit.

But it still has to be said that if gambling leads to addiction then you are going on the wrong path, remember one thing that everyone always warns about take responsibility for each decision you make.

Well, I won't call an addiction since you still are in the sane mind to adjust your gambling habits as it is already affecting your necessary daily routine. That experience of yours is very essential for you and the others to understand that the life outside gambling is far more important than gambling itself.
I won't blame you if you were gambling until midnight before, I presume you're only doing that because it was your only outlet to forget how tiring it is after the day job. Unexpectedly, you found and learn something better than just doing gambling late at night. Some people may not be able to control it and so it will be developed as gambling addiction.
Gambling during weekends are always the best time to do it, not only because you have enough free time but you also have a fresh mind to put the right amount of bet without excessively losing because of frustrations.

If every evening you spend about 1 to 2 hours gambling as a form of entertainment, then I think everything is fine, you can relieve stress after work if we don't put too much emphasis on winning and losing, it's simple, see it as entertainment. If you play until late at night, and spend too much time on it, it is understandable that you will feel tired, and even worse, the losses that come with it. It will be difficult to start a good working day tomorrow with such an evening. Playing every evening or on the weekend I think is not as important as controlling your playing time. Playing too much can easily cause a feeling of stress, not only with gambling but also playing regular games can cause a feeling of fatigue.

Yes, the adrenaline to continue playing gambling will increase because they will thinks that they can't stop right now as they still wants to gets more enjoyment. They also still have money to continue playing gambling and have a chance to wins the other gambling games if they can't wins in the previous gambling games. Their interest in gambling will keep increase and hard to stops themselves and they have a chance to gets addicted to gambling. If they can thinks clear about gambling activity and see that playing gambling too long or too often can makes them in trouble, they must try to reduce their gambling activity and not trying to spends much time to playing gambling. You will try to use your free time for the other things and not just to playing gambling.

When you can manage our free time better, you will have many activities that can help you to release your stress and you will gets relax with many activities that you have. You will not playing gambling too often and if you want to playing gambling, you can limits yourself and not playing gambling excessively because you knows that gambling is just for fun and not for the other things. You realizes about the problems that can occurs in the gambling games so you always knows your limits and not trying to break the limits because that will gives you problems.

It is important for a gambler to be responsible with their time and gamble according to their free time. Gamblers can choose to gamble at night or preferably on weekends where they have more free time. Because when gamblers cannot manage their time when gambling, it will disrupt their activities and make them unproductive and tend to play unwisely. If gamblers play according to their own desires, without considering the time - over time it can make them addicted to gambling and have difficulty controlling themselves.

Gamblers become addicted with increasing attraction to gambling because greed works in them. A greedy person can never keep himself under control. This is why these gamblers are more prone to losses. Addicted gambler is getting addicted to gambling then firstly understand his problem well and think positive at right time and don't talk about past. It is only necessary to look at the current problem and think about how gambling is causing danger in a person's life then the risk in gambling will be less.

That's right, sometimes whatever advice we give them, it's really hard to follow them because they're already under the influence of gambling addiction.  So, it is important to be aware of the possibilities once you enter the world of gambling, you need intense self-control and time/financial management, or if you feel like you are on your way to addiction, while it is too early to find another way to avoid addiction.

I experience the same situation before. Since I have work, I do not have much time to play or gamble. Before, I usually play after I work, tired but still plays. What I hate it when I experience losses, it affects me emotionally and had a hard time sleeping. When I realized its effect to me, I decided to stop that habit of playing at night, instead I play when I have my free time, which is usually on weekends when I do not have work. I ensure that it doesn't affect me emotionally and financially now.

That's right, we have to be responsible with the gambling we do by gambling with time limits, the same as playing online games, many young people stay up late every night spending their time just playing games. and of course this is not a good thing, therefore we must be able to have a time limit when gambling, because it is not good to gamble for a long time, it can affect our thinking, after all gambling that is done for a long time can trigger our emotions and gambling done with emotions tends to only bring problems.
Also, gambling has a strong attraction, even if the gambling is good, there is a possibility that it will take longer for us to gamble. This might happen to gamblers who don't have self-control. If with gamblers who have good self-control, maybe they won't do it. gambling for a long time, because there are still many things to do besides gambling which may also be more important than gambling.

That's why, no matter how many reminders a gambler receives, it doesn't matter if he doesn't follow even one of those reminders, especially if the percentage of addiction he has in himself is high.

That's why having an addiction really isn't good for an individual gambler. That's why if I only play gambling, it's only twice a week and sometimes even once a week when I'm really busy; that's the routine of my gambling life.

It will undoubtedly disrupt your other activities if you insert it when it doesn't have a place in your schedule. Gambling should be considered an extra activity and not a necessity, so even if someone likes gambling very much, they need to make sure they schedule their gambling activities according to their regular schedule and do it in such a way that it shouldn't disturb other important activities and things such as your job and the time of your rest.

A lot of people make this mistake, students that have classes in the morning stay up late either to gamble or play games, people working in offices stay up late for some reason either gambling or something else, that is wrong and it shouldn't be that way. You should have your priorities set.

Yeah agree. Been there once it is like a computer game that consume almost all your time instead of taking it to regain strength the next day whether you are having a job or as a student. Really has bad results from this based on my experiences sleep is the most sacrificed thing on this and the consequence is that I become sleepy on my workplace especially the time when I play online casino few years back. But I already learned from that because most of has the same result which is losing our precious time and money.

Correct, I don't understand why the OP felt that he had to gamble every evening. Why such a rush? Do it whenever you're free. Where's the fun in pressuring yourself into doing something for which you practically have no available time? On top of that, the OP managed to mess up their sleeping schedule by staying away until midnight, which is extremely unhealthy in the long run if it becomes a habit. It's something that's supposed to be an entertaining activity, while gambling at midnight is the ideal way to make the wrong decisions due to exhaustion and quickly run out of money.

We are expected to gamble t our free and leisure time, we should not introduce gambling at the official business hour because we are expected to make the balance between the two, if we don't work for money, how are we going to get the required fund needed for gambling that we want to do, we must learn to do things the proper way, in such a way that no any aspect of our life will be affected all because we are gambling.

I really don't think to stop gambling if we don't have free time is a good expression but rather be saying, stop gamble when you have a lot of free time.

I see some gamblers gamble during their break just to stress out their workload. while some gamble after their office hours. That is a good practice indeed but should this really matter a lot? Limiting time when gambling is a part of gambling responsibly because the more we gamble, the closer we catch to addiction. I think 1-2 hours per day or every other day is quite enough to satisfy our gambling habits. If we can continue doing this, the more we appreciate the benefits of gambling in our lives ( stress reliever). Whereas, falling into addiction is the most likely thing to happen when we exceed our time limit.

It goes beyond just winning; it's about managing time, budget, and emotions effectively.  Imagine someone who can gamble responsibly, prioritize other aspects of life, and avoid letting the activity negatively impact their well-being.

The emphasis on choosing the right time to gamble is crucial.  Playing during free time ensures it doesn't interfere with responsibilities and maintains a sense of leisure.  Imagine gambling as a planned activity, not a way to fill empty time or escape from challenges.

The connection between clear thinking and responsible gambling is insightful.  Emotional decisions, like chasing losses fueled by ambition, often lead to poor choices.  Imagine approaching gambling with a clear head, setting limits, and sticking to them regardless of the outcome.

The bolded text is what a gambler needs to become a responsible gambler. People fail to set rules for their gambling activities to help them limit their loses, and gamble responsible. Maybe it is because they decided to gamble in order to make profit or use gamble to change their lives.

Gambling only at a planned time, will help you gamble on your free time, because no one will fix his gambling time when he is busy with other important commitments. The moment a gambler notice that he is gambling against his will, he should avoid gambling at that period, because it shows sign of addiction.

Indeed, we can gamble in our spare time so that we will not fall deeper into gambling. But many people forget this and make them gamble even when they are doing other activities. It makes their minds always return to gambling and it is difficult to prevent them from gambling. They should be able to balance their lives between gambling and other activities so that they will not have difficulty managing their time.

Yes, we should use our time to work so we can make money than to gamble. We will find it difficult to make money from gambling so we don't need to be too serious about gambling. If we can use gambling well, we will not face bad problems because we can manage our time well. We can also enjoy playing gambling in a relaxed manner and stop gambling well.

Well, that's the best time to gamble when we are free, but that must not particularly be if we have that sparable time. Work varies, we can gamble at work if we are the type that works where activities are not much or at those places we have enough time that will not in any way affect us or the work. This depends on how meaningful that particular betting is to us and the time needed to make the bet before it is concluded late. Like me, I make sure that I work flexibly, so gambling at work is not an issue per se unless we do it senselessly and addictively. I just make sure to plan my time correctly so that I can have the right time to gamble, and that is it.

This doesn't affect the money to be made from the main work for any reason unless the person is doing it badly. However, gambling is not a must, we can hold on till the end of the working hour if we feel ill about our gambling habits. But for me, I do not leave any stone unturned, so I do not have that guilty conscience so long as I finish my work for the day, I am fulfilled.

Gambling needs a time when you are free and not when you are stressed. Even though gambling is meant to be done for fun but it doesn't mean we should not set out time to gamble because money is at staked here despite winning being accompanied by luck but there are times when we give our concentration in gambling we are likely to win. Your choice of taking weekends as your leisure time for gambling is good because it will save you some money you would have gambled within the weekdays.

Gambling is never been bad as long it wont really be able to compromise everything on which including your time and other important things in life on which we know that not everything would really be running
only on gambling or on leisure time on which it would really be just for vacant times. Dont let yourself that be ended up on having that kind of problem on which it is already that affecting other important or priotities in life. It would really be just that common sense that if you are already experiencing such problem then it would be always best that you should be quitting or stopping right away if you dont like to put up yourself on such great trouble. Come to think that you and your family is really that surviving with your day job and you cant just afford on losing it just because you are already that engaging too much with it.

This message is for casino gamers, you can't enjoy playing casino games either online or offline if you don't have the time because of the resident time needed for it but as a sport bettor that love playing for fun, I think most matches are set for Saturdays and Sundays which are weekend for you to relax at home, this is the perfect time for your to bet if you want to gamble, you don't even need to do more research, just look at the matches for that and make your pick after doing their analysis and you will be fine.

I have a question about the gambling affecting your life negatively, is it financial or how you spend your free time gambling? I believe gambling with little money wouldn't do much or any impact in one's life unless you are a heavy gambler that love to wager big amount of money and you know what next when you lose such amount of money to gambling, I advice you gamble responsibly.

I would change your schedule a bit if I were you. Get ready for work first and gamble before you go to bed. Good thing nowadays there are quite a few online casinos where you can find almost any kind of gambling game. You can also try to limit your budget for gambling, as this will also significantly reduce the time of the gambling session. Time is short for many people, but that doesn't mean you should eliminate gambling from your life. If gambling is very much interfere with your work, then only gambling on weekends will help. There is simply no other option.

I understand what you are saying, maybe what you mean here is that gambling will not cause problems if for example we treat gambling well and according to what is recommended overall from a healthy and rational point of view, one of which is as you said, namely by gambling when Indeed, we currently have free time or free time in the midst of our busy daily activities. And I will add that gambling is not an activity that should be taken seriously, because it makes no sense if you put your seriousness in a place that is actually nothing more than a "possibility" in terms of winning.

Therefore, what happens is the opposite, as is experienced by addicts when they treat gambling excessively with the aim of wanting to get lots of wins but what happens is the opposite, where they end up suffering a lot of losses and this wrong approach also disrupts other aspects of their life. His life seems to interfere with other important things in your life, whether it's work or being together with your family, as experienced by the OP, but fortunately he was really able to achieve awareness so that he was finally able to get out of that bad zone.

I do quite agree with the points that you have raised.

I guess when you try to insert gambling into your schedule, it slowly becomes a hobby that you just cannot miss. For example, if you have a designated schedule for your gambling activities, you actually commit into doing so which thereby makes it a habitual act. Ultimately, this will convert to a normal activity where you would definitely feel the need to accomplish it in order to finish what you have scheduled.

Unfortunately, by relying on statistics alone, people who often gamble long-term would most likely incur a loss due to the odds. With the presence of house edge, this gives the online platform the advantage which would most likely guarantee them the win in the long run.

We fund our accounts and ensure we're winning, be smart when gambling in th system. Don't get carry away by huge profits generated, rather this is the crucial time to become competent and attentive to everything happening around us, we have companies that doesn't want to see the growth of our business. Gambling shouldn't results in for distraction, I'm still very comfortable handling the top energy in the system. It's obvious I'm creating more aides in the job, more like trading  to become the best among the best.

I love that. Ever since I felt I was wasting too much time in gambling I made sure I'd be this kind of person. Thankfully, I have done it. Had more time with my kids, taking them out, had more time cleaning the house with my free time from work, and the most important part was making the wife happier by staying at home and talking to her.

We have to be responsible with our time management. There are things that are beyond our control especially when our family is in need of little attention, we should have time to give it to them. Gambling made me think about those things and I was thankful that I was not yet hooked on gambling way too far before I changed it.
It's true, we should only play casually and just entertain ourselves with a little gambling to feed our bad habits, but we should never let it go as far as crossing the line and being in front of the computer most of the time.

You're a good Dad. :)

Most men don't care with their wives, they're going out with their friends till midnight, play game a whole day, gambling and get drunk without thinking about time etc. When the wife ask her husband to clean up the house, cook or spend a quality time with the children, he will say "I already bring money to the table, you don't know how hard to earn money, you actually need be grateful that I still give you money unlike the other men that don't want to get a job, only eat, get fun and sleep.

We can't be affected with the negative results generated from gambling because it'd weigh below our standards. Gambling is for fun, and not any serious thing we should be cautioned about, rather its even optional to gambling twice a week and focused on the main job that brings the earnings. Gambling hours should be split to our free time, atleast it won't interfere with our profession. We should try our possible best to make sure things running smoothly and capturing the best moments available.

Definitely, unless gambling is not your main job or career, you should not be affected with it as you can live without gambling. You do it for fun, you lose that's alright. But if you are not smart and you don't have the skills to be profitable in gambling but you still force yourself to it, you'll never like the result as most likely you'll end up being addicted.

My vision on the situation is following, it isnt necessary to find a specific or special time for gambling, but to gamble whenever you feel like you really want to. I will explain. Setting a special time, for example «21:00 at Friday», is acceptable, but not recommended. What if you are late or immediately have to do something else, then you will rush to gamble to cover lost time, or will think about gambling all the time, loosing focus on other thing. Also it will turn gambling process like a routine (as there is a timetable to do that), or like a job, or might turn into addiction.

My point - you want to gamble, take a mobile and play a round or place a bet. It will keep pressure «I must gamble», it will stay you focused on what you were doing, it does not create sort of «I must do that quick, finish that to get free time» thing.

There are also a few who have stable sources of income like work and business but sometimes end up being broke or financially unstable due to gambling, so it is a big thing that we must be mentally and financially prepared when we enter gambling. That's why a person ends up being addicted because sometimes even though they know they can't play, they still force themselves to get back the lost money even though they shouldn't, or sometimes even if they don't have any money to gamble, they still find a way even though borrow more just to play.

Don't underestimate fatigue, it has a very big impact on decision making, especially when we gamble, we have to work hard on the money we use so that it doesn't disappear in an instant.  apart from gambling when our body and mind are tired from work, gambling beyond the body's rest hours is also not good, the impact is the same, our decision making will be reckless, the result is that we will continue to lose money in gambling, playing when the mind is relaxed and calm is something that must always be done. do it, but limiting it to 4 to 6 hours is also a good duration for gambling.

Here completely agreed about this with mostly peoples broke up due to gambling specially while peoples done this all without having limits, or they are going to chase their loses which hurt badly but peoples those mostly go with their own limits and never have any intention to chase their loses have nothing problems like these because they can control their emotions and mentality from things like these which prevent them from having any serious trouble in life.
Addiction has never been good because this usually bring more troubles and life ruined with this, even now due to recent social media evolution things are going terrible while peoples wants more intention and doing things which are never been good for the better life and good future.

Fatigue greatly affects our performance, and we should not underestimate it. In addition, tiredness can be different, fatigue can be from difficult physical work, or from overwork of mental activity, and sometimes if we switch our attention from monotonous work to a good workout, then this can cheer us up. But I definitely wouldn’t engage in any financial activity when I’m tired, it’s better to rest that day and come back the next day when you’re full of energy.

People broke up because they can hold themselves when playing gambling and they thinks that they can make money from gambling. That mindset needs to be changed before they ruin their lives without they can realizes. Playing gambling is just for fun and you used it when you have free time so you will not have a problem. You will not wants to chase the win because you already knows that winning in the gambling is not easy and depends on your luck which you knows that luck will not always besides you.

You will avoids addiction by apply many things to protects yourself from the chance to becomes addicted to gambling. You already see what happens with people who addicted to gambling and how to manages himself to avoids the addicted. If you don't have much free time, you will not playing gambling and will select the other activity to fills your spare time.

Luckily, you quickly become aware of your gambling. If you continue, you will become an addicted gambler because you cannot control your gambling time, which will interfere with your work. This is indeed not permitted in gambling that interferes with work because the purpose of gambling is to have fun, not to look for new problems.

I have a friend who gambled like you in the beginning, he gambled without remembering the time and he kept doing this over and over again. What happened after that was that he lost his job because he couldn't differentiate between working time and gambling time, so in the end he became addicted to gambling. But it's a good thing you're not like my friend, you soon realized that.

Being able to enjoy gambling in free time is the real success. People who gamble a lot don't even care about their free time they always want to gamble and while gambling they become addicted to gambling. And if they are addicted to gambling, it damages their health as well as financial loses. So these things should always be kept in mind while gambling so that they can realize their mistakes quickly. And it helps a lot to protect yourself from gambling addiction

Those who gamble for 24 hours a day can become an addictive gamblers and they will not be able to perform other essential works of the day. A person can only enjoy gambling and will not be addicted if he gamble in his free time or during a holiday otherwise it will make you addictive.

First a person will face financial loss, after which he will loss all his relationships and then his health will gradually become worse day by day due to lack of money, burden of borrowed money and due to no cash to continue gambling for the recovery of lost cash.

Not just your life but it can cause disaster to your job too because if you gamble and the outcome is bad while you’re at work, it will affect your mood and that’s interconnected with your ability to work properly. I’ve said it before, there is no need to gamble at work. Just do it when you get back home and you are even more relaxed. Because pressure at work can make you pick the wrong games.

And not only in his case because he gambles until midnight: some people gamble at work, which is definitely more serious, as it really doesn't let you concentrate.

Having too much time to gamble isn't good either. The dose makes the poison, and in gambling the dose is measured in time, so better be entertained with other things too, and if it is a job, even better.

24 hours a day means they don't stop gambling for days, I can't imagine how much money they lose if they gamble 24 hours a day. because by looking at the advantage that the host has, it is bigger than us as ordinary players, where the gambling we do will only end in defeat, not victory, also in my opinion, even if we win at gambling and continue it won't last long, no will be able to get victory by continuing and continuing it doesn't make sense.
In my opinion, if we only gamble once, it can make us addicted to continuing to gamble because there is a strong pull and temptation factor in gambling, the fact that we lose will make us curious and when we win it will make us addicted, especially if we can't control it. self. then most likely we will not be able to stop gambling and of course it will damage our finances. It's very scary if gambling is done 24 hours a day, because in my opinion just one gambling can cause losses.

Gambling can be an enjoyable pastime when done in moderation, and there would be the potential risks associated with excessive gambling and addiction. Success in gambling should not be measured by how much one gambles, but rather by the ability to enjoy it responsibly and without it interfering with other aspects of life, such as free time and personal well-being. When gambling becomes all-consuming and leads to addiction, it can have severe consequences on both physical and financial health.

People have to fulfill their life without being attached to much on on thing. Setting limits on gambling activities, both in terms of time and money, can help prevent addiction and ensure that gambling remains a form of entertainment rather than a destructive habit. Enjoying gambling responsibly means being aware of the potential risks, setting boundaries, and prioritizing overall well-being above the desire to gamble excessively.

Thinking gambling would earn you money is risky. Like fighting a lost battle, the chances are always against you. Whoever disagrees has to wake up. The hook is the 'huge wins' yet they don't tell the complete story. Gambling is fun and safe. But knowing the dangers, respecting the game, and not chasing losses are key. Luck is unpredictable, and addiction is dangerous. Recognizing indicators and saying no when necessary are important. Your time matters. Don't gamble it away. Limit your gambling and stick to it. Better ways to spend time build you up, not break you down. And the house always wins. Be aware and gamble responsibly if you do. Your life; protect it

Somehow, it's addiction to the mistake not gambling. It sounds weird that one experiences a mistake and doesn't want to stop it. What then pushes him to repeat it, other than some symptoms of addiction? I think Op should gamble during weekends when he's got free office time. From his last line, it seems he's rendering out some advice to gamblers not to behave this way. Hence, he could be feeling better from this attitude. Gambling is a game for relaxation. Gamblers must participate when they have enough time to focus, and not to bother over anything. Imagine rushing for office and staking a few games in a hurry. It'll only affect the gambler's performance. Hence, affecting his funds and productivity. However, there must be a free moment for everyone, regardless of the nature of their work.

But, if a gambler is too busy that he's not able to focus while gambling, I think he should give gambling a break, till his vacation time. Then, he'd enjoy gambling very well. Insisting on this behavior will affect his productivity in his place of work, thereby risking his future. Gambling is a very sensitive game, and players need to take it very seriously. Especially when it has to do with work and business. These things generate money for gambling and other financial responsibilities. Hence, a gambler who doesn't respect his source of income due to gambling isn't prepared to remain responsible for a long time.

I agree with your point, actually there is no reason to take time off to gamble because it affects your productivity at work tomorrow, even though you often make a habit of not sleeping at night and according to health aspects, you have carried out behavior that is detrimental to your health in the future, change bad habits by using rest time to invest in body health. So there are three disadvantages if you do the bad habit of gambling late at night because you as a worker must be responsible for working optimally, and you also experience losses from gambling from your monthly income.

I am not forbidding you from gambling, but change your time management to gamble at other appropriate times, and the aim of gambling is to have fun with an allocation of betting funds that are ready to lose.

Disaster to everything.
If we cannot learn how to control our gambling problem then we won't have a chance to win it all back. It's our emotions that are the wall of everything that we will do. We think that we can get it all back in a pace that we want it to be but we are mistaken. The sad truth is, it might take forever before we can receive the RTP that was promised. We just have to be patient about it.
But, it matters for those who have short-term capital. How can they continue gambling if they don't have any money to spare? Does this mean gambling is only for the rich? I don't think so.
But because of the early method of wrecking those who have lesser funds, they don't have a chance to win back what they had lost. Some say it's all about the seeds but I doubt that. It's all about how the system will give back as early as possible to keep them playing.

The point is that the impact of gambling can affect everything in a person's life, whether in terms of work, health, relationships and most importantly finances, these are some aspects that have a high probability of being affected by gambling, especially when you have entered the addiction phase where you will find it very difficult to ignore the slightest time not to gamble, and as experienced by the OP where he even exchanged his sleep or rest time for gambling which could make him lose focus when working because he lost his fitness.

After all if you think using common sense then yes it is clear as you said that there is still quite a lot of time for you to gamble, such as for example in your time off work which as you said that it is the right time and also we can really enjoy gambling with a relaxed state that makes us more focused and this action can also make you achieve a good balance in terms of dividing your focus on the activities you have, the point is that we must be able to apply the best possible management of time, do things according to their portions.

They wont really be able to realize not until they would really be able to experience the worst on which it would really be that very normal that do really happen here on this space.
Gambling is really just that for fun and if you are someone whose really that not mindful about into its effects and into its possible things that could give
then you would really be definitely be having that a very hard time on recovery on which if you do really let things to happen. You should really be that sensible on the things that you do
really get involved and if you are some who isnt aware on the things that you've been dealing of with then you are really that putting up yourself on trouble.

Only those who are addicted gamblers can play restlessly as they are addicted. But as a normal player it is not a wise decision to play while you are busy in day-to-day life or work or job or something else. I think anyone should join in gambling only when the person is fully free and fresh in mind.

It often takes hitting rock bottom for some to grasp the impact of gambling. It’s meant for entertainment, but without awareness and control, the consequences can be severe. You gotta have a lot of self control to have a chance of making it with gambling.

Risking our work for gambling isn't right yes, trying to adjust something so tight that it'll only tear or wear us up is too much stress. After a hectic day, one needs to rest. Check the thread where a gambler unintentionally wagered $500 because he was tired from work and decided to play his favorite game. That could be the fate of any gambler who tends to adjust his time and craft out few minutes out of his resting time. Gambling is fun and shouldn't be neglected completely, but when it's nefarious to our business, I think giving it a second thought is better than continuously risking the process. Stress affects aging, the same as the brain, the person will most likely get bad responses from his manager.

There is no way the gambler will perform well after gambling in the night and losing money in the process. So, weekends are great and the best moment. Such gamblers tend to enjoy their game because they value the few times off, they've got from work, and using it to gamble on their favorite game, will enlighten the weekend. Not much behavioral change will erupt if a player is conscious of his timings. Adjusting it during the weekdays can affect punctuality in the office. However, people are different, there are people who can risk it and still perform well in the office, but those who know themselves as not capable of multitasking should avoid crafting out time from their resting moment to gamble.

A lot of gamblers out there will definitely argue with the fact that they should stop gambling just because they are too busy. Since a lot of persons quote that gambling is a fun activity, they will definitely argue the fact that if it truly is then there should be nothing wrong with squeezing out some time at intervals just to catch some fun. Now based on logic they could be right. Gambling in this context isn't seen as a wrong act but the problem is the ability of the gambler to manage his gambling habits and activities properly such that he actually invests the logical amount of time and effort he should and not abusing certain things. The level of responsibility of a gambler matters a lot, and the gambler has full control on his ability to manage those responsibilities.

You can put aside the games that consume too much time and look at football bets for the weekends. By doing this, you will have the opportunity to rest more and lose less. It will satisfy you as you will only be making predictions for games 1-2 days a week. You can also make time to watch the matches with your friends and family and turn it into an activity that you can all enjoy together.

I know it will not be easy to quit other games, you are also aware of how they consume your time and also your energy. With low energy, your probability of making many mistakes increases, which is just a loss.

You shouldn’t allow gambling to control you. If you know the pattern of your work, then you have to set a time for yourself when you will stop gambling, and you have to be disciplined in a way that when the time that you set for yourself to stop gambling is immediately reached, then you have to stop gambling, even If you are winning or losing, you have to stop gambling immediately. If you can’t do that, then your gambling activities are going to affect your work because you might get to work and end up sleeping at work, which is caused by a lack of proper sleep that you didn’t have at night. It’s better you know when to stop gambling.

I support your submission. You can only perform optimally when you are strong and have a sound mind. Tiredness can affect the overall body function. When you are tired, you can't really figure out certain things and paying attention to clues becomes a challenge too. This is so with gambling. A tired mind shouldn't gamble at all. When a person is tired all that the body needs is rest and not motion. When you keep doing something when the body actually needs rest, you cannot give your best. So, gambling at a tired state is not a good way to gamble. Gambling shouldn't be done when the brain should be resting.

This lies the importance of gambling at free time. When you gamble at your free time, you will have a better outcome. Reasons being that you will have a focused mindset, less distractions, better reasoning, and all these will translate to a better result. The best time to gamble is when the environment is devoid of distractions. When you are not working or engaged in an activity or tired then you can gamble.

If it is even about the time it would have been better but losing money is something everyone will not have a choice but become depressed about and what people don't understand is that money is the central it is what controls gambling and time is important to sha especially when you are arranging your games. Resting does not guarantee you winning so its more of luck. And what is killing people in gambling is that they are over doing it. And that is what is killing  them and that is why they are turning into addicts. Control your emotions limit how to give attention to gambling because no matter how you gamble you might not get lucky. Let's clear our self of our gambling habits.

Sorry to say, but you sir need some quality rest!!! And if. In your daily gambling dates you haven't been winning, I would suggest you stay off your gambling table for say a month just to allow your mind to rest and have a different perspective on gambling altogether!!
Lastly change your gambling time table so that it doesn't negatively affect your productivity at work..say maybe stick to weekend gambling.


They say time is money, so this whole free time tag doesn't do for me, but weekends are a good time to give gambling a shot and if you are into Sportsbetting you will get some quality games from the big leagues... otherwise take that time off gambling or find a hobby that can take up that free time you have.

I'm not much into casinos, I do most of sports betting and some other related stuffs but it's wise to adhere to your points. In as much we know that time cannot be bought nor created, it is left for us to manage our time in a way it would not affect us by any means and all we have to do is to schedule ourselves then aswell on our own, limit ourselves on the time we spend in the gambling sites once we have exceeded our schedule time. Their are harmful effects when we have a poor night sleep, talking most importantly about the mental effect, from poor productivity to lack of concentration, it may also have some health effect.

You must be ready for the losses if you playing gambling because that's the risks of playing gambling. Even if many people still playing gambling, we must control ourselves and reduce the risks not to bigger because we don't wants to see a big lose. You playing gambling if you have a spare time but you don't force yourself to playing gambling if your spare time is little because that can makes you playing gambling in a rush. You must knows the risks and the danger of playing gambling so you can prevent that happens to you. We can't predict when our luck will comes but we must prevents the lose that can be bigger because we chase the win. That's why you must know the time to stop playing gambling and take a breaks if you gets losing streak. Remember to stops playing gambling if your free time is almost end so you will not difficult to stops gambling.

It is not just time that they need, stop risking money if they couldn't even provide what is necessary for them or their family.
We know that there are people out there who would risk or gamble their money even if they don't have enough to live an average life or indebt.
I know that they are aiming for the profit but why risk what they have, if they couldn't even pay their debt or have a comfortable life?

That's right, we have to play gambling well, don't let gambling play on us so that we experience big losses or other bad things because we can't control ourselves when gambling. I agree with you, indeed we have to stop gambling when the gambling is over, no matter the final result of winning or losing, it is clear that if we gamble for too long, in my opinion it can make us addicted to gambling and sooner or later we can experience losses which may be large. and other problems that can harm yourself and even others.

discipline in gambling regarding the budget and time set. We must be able to set a definite amount for gambling, don't let the gambling we end up losing make us want to gamble again by depositing more money because we want to recover losses or want to chase wins. Many gamblers cannot limit their gambling because they have been hypnotized by gambling so that they can take big risky actions. It's true what you said, if we can't stop gambling then it's possible that it will affect our work or activities, because the gambling we do exceeds our time or budget limits. I also think it can affect our own thinking. and obviously that could put us in great danger.

This is usually done by normal gamblers, but for abnormal gamblers, they will take the time to gamble at work or even in front of their children without paying attention to the effects that will happen to them or the people around them. Every gambler should be able to manage their gambling budget and time, at least Gambling in your free time to gamble comfortably, sometimes gamblers who no longer have free time should stop gambling, which is the right choice so as not to force themselves to gamble in inappropriate places, as I said above.

Luckily I am not the abnormal type of gambler, so far gambling is still normal at weekends and at night when my wife and children are resting so I don't force myself to gamble at busy times, because gambling in free and quiet time is the right way to gamble. It's right to gamble properly rather than forcing yourself to gamble at the wrong time, even though I know everyone definitely has free time to gamble so there's no need to force yourself to gamble during work time or busy times with family and people around us.

Time is most effective when it's fixed with an aim. Gamblers, in large numbers, barely set their aims straight, and lots more are aimless. When targeting with no aim, a stone hits the wrong target. And could hurt someone, could hit on a car or pedestrian. Gamblers should focus on the purpose. The fantasies enforcing their wrong habits can prepare their life for the worse. Most of the gamblers who want a jackpot are not ready to handle such a huge amount of money. Gamblers should develop self-examination each day. Asking questions like, today if I'm handed out this jackpot, what next? This helps a player to realize his level of thinking as a jackpot winner.

What does he purchase and what place he'd go to with money, is it actually what he wants? It, also, provides the need to understand our aims and motives as gamblers. Are we just in a casino to receive a paycheck to get luxury lifestyles? After getting those fantasies, what next? The vision isn't there, he won't see what is next. Because they're never in need of this, as no plan is available on ways to utilize the money. Hence, the player will revolve around living a luxury lifestyle, till his funds are exhausted. It feels depressing to get broke after living a luxurious life. The body will imagine it as a deceit, as it thought, they've gotten to such a level. Once a player isn't living the life he once got with the jackpot, his life will look confusing. 

Many people are unaware of what you are saying when it comes to gambling, and you are making sense when you say that the first thing you should consider whenever you want to gamble is the maximum amount of money you can lose. Gambling is the type of activity where we must be aware of the limit of how much money we put into it. Additionally, we should schedule our gambling for the weekends when we will have free time and it won't interfere with our ability to do our jobs. I've witnessed a lot of people quitting their jobs due to gambling, only to waste time waiting at the gambling establishment instead of using it to work on other projects.

While gambling itself is not inherently bad, it should be limited because excess of anything is bad. Additionally, gambling has become so popular that even those who cannot afford to feed their families will go out and find ways to gamble in order to make ends meet. My point is that even the poor and destitute have taken up gambling because it offers the possibility of financial gain if the gamble they make turn out to be profitable.

Time management would really be that something crucial because we know that whatever we do there would really be always those moment or times on which it would really be affecting other things in life specially with our work or into those something which is more important. Dont gamble into your work or office and if you do find yourself that totally tired and exhausted then it is really just that right that you should really be skipping on playing gambling.
Days wont really be that totally be lacking or something that would really be lost because there are really those conditions or situations on which you can play all you want but of course it will really be needing up that kind of moderation and something that it will really be needing up time management. If there's no time that would be left for gambling venture, then why you would be making yourself that trying to force on playing despite on the condition or situation you do have.
If you cant be able to play because of lack of time, then why would really be proceeding something about it.

Totally absurd on the time that you would be seeing yourself that spending like a mad man on those money you have earned on that day just because you do like to gamble on which instead on spending up into you family
needs, then it will really be putting you into such hard situation as long as it goes.

I think the problem is that most gamblers have a very wrong and incorrect perspective of what gambling is all about. So many gamblers go into gambling with the knowledge that gambling is a get rich quick scheme or a solution to solving their financial problems and we all know that wherever someone sees a chance, there they are willing to risk their money, Hence the reason why many gamblers are willing to risk so much even when repeatedly lose money on the process.

Every gambler should know that gambling should only be for fun and recreational purposes, it could also serve as a good way to get away from problems and no to solve them, but that doesn’t mean that it’s advisable to gamble when you’re on tension or when you’re not mentally stable because it could cause you to make irrational decisions which could result to over gambling and poor risk management and also loss of funds.

We're traders and I humbly ask for five minutes of your time, not evening an hour. Do you have tons of trusts in the market. Our nights got worsen when we're closely watching our portfolio and reason on the brighter sides. Stop gambling and focused on more serious sectors, atleast to earn good living from the space. I know it's not easy as we all presumed but with consistent actions, we should have something for us there. To avoid gambling, one needs to be discipline and provide principles that will govern his actions and put him back online when he has projects.

Something drives the gambler to play even when his time is squeezed, and it's a wrong form of gambling. Because the gambler's mind wouldn't stay relaxed or focused on making the right decisions. It's all about being in a hurry and trying to make quick moves at least to see if we are lucky. The player doesn't enjoy the game, he just wants to gamble. It's more like undergoing pressure to finish a task before a deadline is exhausted. They'll have other activity to handle, hence gambling in such a mood will only lead to mistakes.

Technically, whatever requires time should be allowed enough of it, and gambling is one game that needs time. We all need to respect the fact that it takes up our money and time to enjoy gambling. It's not some sort of video game. Some busy people must have free time, the problem with most gamblers, is that they don't wait for their free days to arrive before gambling. The urge is so heavy on the player that he can't control it anymore. His target will center on gambling, whenever he thinks he can gamble.

Just like the people in our community back then when there were lots of games that hooked them to bet it's just some kind of worse addiction because everything seems to revolve around money and they always making bets on almost anything even though they are struggling with their lives financially. Of course, there are lots of thieveries going on and you cannot just put your important things outside because they will lost and they will quickly sell out to the local black market. Lots of deceitful acts and lies because they are just way too overboard and they are determined to find a way to fund their habits.

Time is perhaps the greatest casualty of wanton gambling, you may invest too much money but you are almost certainly spending too much time on it.   The choice people make on this dilemma is to bet more in a smaller time but thats more risky and I wont do that personally, I think people should take their time to consider when they bet.

   OP is correct in that you shouldn't force yourself to take any action through lack of time as then the factors behind your bet are forced and less likely to be optimal for any possible success.  You can end up betting against yourself if your behavior is so badly thought out you are not fully considered in your actions when betting, applies to alot of things if you are rushed you are more likely to trip.

Living a comfortable life comes with a whole of sacrifices to be made, just stick to a particular strategy that's bringing winnings. I'm not into gambling because there's no time for that to be triggered, instead we should be settling for day Jobs because it's the sources of provisions. Before gambling, ensure you're free from debts and you sits in balance position to provides the needs and wants of the family. We're man and adhere to every responsibility of our loved ones, never relent but focused on doing the ultimate jobs.

Curiosity and great desire are the main reasons why they always do all that, especially when there is feeling of joy and satisfaction when doing it, then there is no thought to consider or even stop not doing all that.
But basically when in gambling there are other things such as ambition and also hopes that are truly with the aim of making money, this creates race to continue playing and betting until everything really comes true.
It is important to remember that gambler who is truly addicted or addicted to them cannot possibly think about other things such as struggling to continue living life or anything related to finances because all they think about is continuing to play and bet.
Bad impacts will really occur when gamblers are in a condition where they cannot do anything to make money, incidents like this will continue to happen forever.

Many dont realize its a skillful, calculated game. The problem is people who rush in without a plan or patience, not the game. A losing approach and lousy contract, plain and simple.

Want to win big? You need time and focus. Instead of luck, make sensible decisions. Great gamblers remain calm and wait for the proper hand. No matter how long. People must realize that slow and steady wins the race. Complex gambling, not mindless button-mashing. Know the risk, maximize the return.  We must adjust our mindset and approach gaming thoughtfully. Only then can we master it.

Playing gambling is necessary and the same as we need money to meet our living needs. That means if we don't have enough money, we shouldn't gamble. Apart from that, we also need free time to gamble so that it doesn't disturb our focus when gambling.

We should also not try to use gambling as a way to make money. It will be even more difficult because there is no guarantee that we can make money. We can look for a paid job if we want to make money. That would be better because we don't need to use money to make money.

Gambling is just a free time activity. But we also don't need to gamble as often because it can cost much money. Especially if we still need money to meet our living needs. We should be able to use the money as best as possible so we don't have difficulty surviving.

You're not into gambling because you will see that this won't give you any benefits. But for those who see gambling gives them pleasure and happiness, they will try it even if they are a family man and only have limited free time. In fact, it is not necessary we have to spend a lot of time gambling and have a huge fund in order to enjoy ourselves but what we just need is to understand that gambling is not a source of income and that we have to be seriously doing this. Instead, make this our pastime just to relax our mind from the whole day working.
Gambling responsibly, that is what it meant.

In addition, people need to  understand that if you are going to put gambling in your life then you must still be very very responsible person. Otherwise you'll take for granted what is truly important to you. You may neglect your job, family, friends, or important occasions. I've posted this many times that that Don't make your gambling practice your life. You can make money from it, you can have happiness or excitement on it but don't rely too much. Gambling is not stable source of income.

Otherwise you may be digging your own grave and sooner or later it will be very difficult to get out. Gambling is good in general, but once used too much then it will affect your life negatively and you don't want that.

It is very likely that gambling will not provide profits, because this is a business. where they set up casinos and hold gambling with the aim of getting profits from many people, that's the reality friends, even though in gambling there is a chance to win but that win won't be easy, even if we gamble often it won't affect the winning factor. which depends on luck. It's true, even though gambling is done for fun, it doesn't mean we have to spend most of our time just gambling, because that's not true. with gambling that is carried out over a long period of time, it is likely that they will only become addicted to gambling and lose larger amounts of money.

While gambling is not a means of making money, understanding gambling as a means of making money is wrong, because gambling that is done cannot always result in winning, because the chance of winning at gambling is very small, while the chance of losing from gambling that is done is large. , then it is not strange if the gambling that is done ends in defeat because losing at gambling is something that is certain to happen. carry out gambling appropriately, including the time for gambling.

Try to elaborate what are time, focus, and patience can influence winning rate in gambling. How long we need to gamble?, focus in what aspects? how to know the difference between patience and impatience?

I also want to know how much you earn from gambling because you've claimed to know the ways to win in gambling. Probably many users able to learn from you, so people who want to gamble with solely purpose to make money will achieve it.

Gamble responsibly and you will see the difference. We gamble to earn extra change but at the same time, we should be focused our ultimate targets. Most times, I've seen most gamblers doing everything without having proper time to settle for gambling, always in a hurry to meet up their schedule for the day and end up doing every gambling related activity in a rush. Gambling should be discussed among those that knows how everything plays out and not some random people that have no idea about the system.

Its not really that bad to gamble, the only main issue on here is on how you would really be that making yourself that having that control once you have done it? We do know that not all people would really be having on the same control when it comes to things specially with gambling. There are ones who are really just that playing for fun and there are ones who are really that too desperate on making money and this is what makes them
messing up their lives into it. This is why it would really be just that depending on a certain person on how he would hover up himself towards gambling. Stop gambling if its already that compromising important things in life. We do know that we do have tons of priorities in life which is mainly pertains on our day job and family time and other things which is more important than gambling.

Gambling should really be done on your free time and never ever make yourself that mandating that having those kind of prioritization because once you do have this kind of mindset
then you are really just that putting up yourself on such huge risks on messing up your life.

Gambling should not be taken too seriously, or you should not put seriousness into activities that are actually full of uncertainty, otherwise, then yes what happens will be like what happened to the OP where gambling affects other more important activities in your life such as work for example, and we can see that there is enough evidence that someone who prioritizes gambling too much always ends up with a lot of problems, whether it's losing large amounts of money or other problems that were never expected before.

I honestly never thought that there are some people who treat gambling too seriously, and I'm sure that they do it all because of the opportunity to win in gambling, where they hope to get a win to increase their income, but instead of earning the opposite happens where you will only end up with a lot of problems. If you don't have any free time to gamble then don't ever touch gambling, that's for sure, never let gambling which is really all about uncertainty interfere with other more important activities in your life, after all there is still quite a lot of time for you to gamble, for example like on weekends when you are off work.

Man, I think your story hits close to home for a lot of us here. It's like a vicious cycle, right? It's great to hear you found a way to break that cycle by limiting your play to the weekends. That's a smart strategy to keep it from messing with your work life and sleep schedule. And your advice is solid gold, if you can't afford the time (or cash), it's just not worth squeezing gambling into your day. It's all about knowing your limits and sticking to them. Props for making that change and sharing the wisdom!

Gamblers need to understand that gambling isn't a necessity, and they can gamble whenever it's possible if they want to do it and have decided a budget for it. One doesn't need to disturb their routine or gamble when they need to sleep or work or study just because they like gambling. I know this can't be said for people who are addicted to gambling because they can't control the urge at any time, but normal gamblers shouldn't do this at least.

I know a lot of people who gamble at night, they are up all night, gambling and having fun, and they sleep the whole day because of that. They don't work because they are lazy due to their bad routine. One shouldn't do this to themselves, gambling should be kept as an extra activity.

That's a really good point, most people focus on the monetary aspect of gambling and forget that it also requires time we need to spend at the casinos. That time we spend gambling has a value, even if it's only indirect in taking sleep away from us and reducing our performance at work. For me it's only time for gambling if I finished all other task of the day, which is usually at night. I also spend some nights on the weekends gaming and have to choose in the end if rather continue my favorite campaign or visit a online casino. In both cases it's important to set a fixed time window for gambling and gaming, otherwise I could stay up all night. I had to learn it the hard way as a teenager.

Well, as much as I agree with you, I would also say that sometimes, we can't deny the fact like a thing or two could come up that could make us to promptly visit a casino in other not to miss the opportunity, for example, maybe a friend discovers an ongoing game, what some of us term as a sure bet, and decided to call you up to take part in the bet for an opportunity to win some really good amount of money depending on how much you were able to bet.

When I was still actively playing lotto here in my country, I can remember alot of times I has to take excuse or permission from my working place to quickly go out and place a bet on some lotto numbers that was sent to me by a friend, back then, we had a network of individuals who we often referred to as insiders, they 90 percent of the time know what numbers will play because they worked closely with the lotto officials, all they usually do is, secretly pass those numbers across to us and we bet big money on them, and after we win and claim the money, we give them their cut, usually around 25 to 30 percent of the profit made.

Things like this can still come in-between a gambler and their other daily activities, most especially if the gambler is a seriously committed gambler, so, in essence, only playing gambling when totally free all depends on the type of gamble a person is, a hardcore gambler will definitely suspend everything he or she is doing to play gambling when ever an opportunity appears in the market.

if you don't have enough time to gambling I mean if you don't have enough free time to gambling then the time may decrease the ability of self-control as well as entertainment which may turn into more losses instead of getting entertainment and/or make profit.

You gave right advice buddy. Because I think that when a person ended up is duty from his work its natural that you will be tired. And when he comes to home he should take rest. I will not say that he don't have any time for his entertainment he can limit is entertainment hours by this he will found some hours for his rest. And on the others and when a people do gambling when he tired it will also be natural to he lose his self control and do gambling with his emotion. And it is the cause for the losses he will be face and as well as for the his health issues.

It's probably because they earn well as they gamble and they have figured it out that they don't have to go to any job. But that's their life, if they gamble all night long and sleep all day long then that's how their lifestyle is and we can't control them for doing so. As long as they know what they are up to and they are gambling with their own funds, it doesn't matter anymore as they do it for themselves and not for everyone. As for me, I'd like to still gamble and work to support all of my activities including gambling.

Its fine to be care free on the gambling if you can segregate the money you place in that game to play.  The moment you find you are spending money you could not afford to lose its time to pull the cord because then its gone too far.   If a game is played and you arent allowed to play it however you feel like is it any fun anymore, most people dont appreciate too many rules like that.  

The important part is not to let the game play you, you give a certain amount of spare cash and thats it.  Learn to walk away is the most important lesson, sometimes its just not your day and especially when new that would happen alot to most people.  Some people I deliberately never mention any gambling or games Im betting on, sports bet or anything because I dont want to mention something their reactive personality is really not best suited for or they just told me they stepped away from gambling so I'd be a bad person to rub it in their faces really.

From a very wide view of things, I think gambling should be done as something that is purely based on stress free  kind of activity or maybe you are bored and wants to get some action then I think some different forms of gambling got you covered although for some person the excited get to their head and they fail to manage themselves properly and before you know it they end up regretting their whole session because they can end up chasing after loses that are long gone.

Quite agree with you bud, the tighter our schedule, the harder it is to really give time to gambling in such a manner it doesnt turn out to become a problem to us.

Gambling requires no hurrying, some games requires attention and constant careful observation, which we could also liken to analyzing, and this actually takes time, this is why its important for us to always make out some ample time for gambling, it not only reduces our chances of loses, but also makes the game far more enjoyable for us.

I remember many time when I am playing slot games, I remember that i tend to win more and play even much more longer when I play the game very slowly, paying attention to details.
So, this is actually one aspect of gambling that most of us do neglect, and it's one of the reasons why many of us never do enjoy gambling, even when we win, the money won is our only source of excitement, not the fun we have or had gambling.

By the way, please check pm @shasan

I can conclude that when a person forces himself to gamble when he has no free time and only has time to rest to regain his fitness and prepare himself for the next day's work then it is the same as you risking your work for gambling, or you are sacrificing time for other more important things just for the sake of gambling which is nothing more than a place to have fun and besides there is absolutely no compulsion and rules from the casino that tell you to gamble at certain times which means you are free to gamble anytime if you have the right time.

Your health is more important and work is also of course a very important activity which is with the results of the work that you survive and not from the results of gambling. Therefore it is better to prioritize something that is basically much more important for your life such as resting to relieve fatigue that will make yourself fit again tomorrow when facing work again. On the other hand, it is clear that gambling when you are tired will only make the situation worse, because you will not be able to concentrate and focus on making a decision, after all I think there are still quite a lot of other times you can use to gamble such as when off work.

Yes, gambling is just to enjoy the fun, so gambling must be played when you have free time without being related to other activities and main work, if we follow these instructions then emotions and self-control can be controlled without gambling greed and of course not targeting gambling games to recover losses. if you aim to make a profit to get additional income then they are not ready to accept defeat, so the same loss will always occur in gambling sessions, they will never enjoy gambling games because they ignore the fact that gambling has a high chance of losing, because no matter how much money they prepare To bet, you have a small chance of getting a high win and a high risk that you will lose half or even all of your betting funds. So gamble responsibly and set the lowest allocation of funds for gambling.

Gambling is not an occupation, gambling is not a sound way of earning, gambling is addictive, gambling have may disadvantage, therefore gambling should be done at a leisure time. Some jobless old men in my town can people gamble 12 hours and they are not tired, it is understandable that those men are old and doesn't have too much of responsibility to bear again but young people should not engage into gambling all the time whereas they need to be studying or working a making income to provide needs for the family and their kinds and wife.

Gambling definitely requires time Those who do not have time should not enter gambling platforms. However, since gambling is taken as entertainment, some time can be spent on entertainment but it is not at all logical to spend most of the time. If you have such a problem then you will spend very little time gambling there is no need to spend much time. Especially you will participate in the sports site because participating in the sports site will not waste much of your time as you can spend the rest of the time taking bets and sleeping. After sleeping you can check the match results. I always use little time to play and I never waste my sleep and forest work and never participate in gambling. Sleep is very beneficial for health. If a person does not get proper sleep, then he will be very depressed mentally.

We have aides and urge to gamble, but it should be for fun and not some random tasty desperation. Gambling is addictive in the first place and I've watch and monitor how everything played out mainly. Sometimes I wonder how will special and busy we're in the space and still end up gambling, why choose gamble when there are other basic activities to get enrolled with and be seeing massive profits in the space.

If you are not well prepared to play gambling you dont need to push through yourself because this might lead towards making a wrong decision in your game, most of the failed losses because of betting a huge amount due to losing consecutively, making a revenge wage, unreliable decisions and more. Possibly this might lead you towards to have a mistake you will regret once you get back to your self like losing of savings, people affected with your emotions, and get a debt because you want to play more.

It's better to give gambling a break and restructure your schedule than to let it Interfere with you work. I personally don't let any other thing to distract me when I am working because, my work is the source of my income and if anything happens to it, it means there is no more gambling or even performing other activity that money is required of it. Gambling can be tempting at times, it takes only a discipline person to do the right thing at the right time. So congratulations to the op for using your initiative to restructure your schedule for gambling, else you would have gotten yourself into trouble at your work place.

Many gamblers have lost a huge amount of money on some games that is taking their time and energy in the casino because, they don't have much time to concentrate on some important things that will make the game come to reality for him to cash out money.


There are some games that will not affect your job and it will not take your time  to win if you know the sports game very well because you can use some minutes or hours to see your results to know if you will continue gambling  that very day or continue the next day.

One thing we must always have in mind is that gambling can be really addictive so it's advisable for people to always learn to prioritize other responsibilities like work over it. Gambling is very risky and can actually interfere with any of your activities but no matter what you do, you must never allow your gambling life interfere with important aspects of your life, like your sources of income or your relationship with people around you. Yeah, it takes self-control and a great deal of focus for one to be able to manage his time and resources wisely. This is one of the most important aspect of responsible gambling and not all gamblers has the ability to manage their time and resources during a gambling session, and that's why some gamblers go ahead to overspend time and resources on a gambling session and that's where addiction starts from.

Yes, stopping gambling and taking break to reset time when gambling is very important to do, I completely agree with you because that way the gambling we do will never interfere with or affect other activities that are much more important.
Work is an obligation that must be carried out and completed as best as possible so that we can consistently have responsibility for work, moreover, steady income from work is source of income to support the family or other things.
Without job, we cannot gamble, we will never be able to meet our family needs or have savings to make our life more decent in the future.

However, money is very valuable and we must really maintain the job or business we have as the main source of income, gambling is just place to have fun and entertain ourselves.
From this it can be concluded that there are other activities that are much more important than gambling and we must be able to put gambling aside from our work.

I agree with you that the chances of losing money are very high if you don't prepare yourself well for gambling. Be sure to prepare yourself well. Must be mentally strong.

I would say gambling is not something I have to do. If I think that I have to gamble every day it is the wrong decision. We can gamble in our free time only we can spend a certain amount of money on it. Then gambling will not cause us loss.

But if our mind set is such that I have to gamble regularly. So I would say this is the first stage of gambling addiction. And if you are addicted to gambling, you will face big problems in future. So I would say it is important to be very careful about gambling. Too much money should not be wasted on it. And of course prepare yourself well before betting.

That's right! if you have prepared for gambling, it is possible that you will be able to think better about what you should and must do, of course when we gamble, our focus and dedication must be there but we also need to have a concrete plan and time management because we cannot spend all of our time in gambling because we might neglect other important things in our lives. I agree with what you said that we should only gamble using the certain amount we set as our budget to avoid big losses.

Indeed, it would be better for those who are very tired and have experienced many losses at gambling. It would be better for them to stop gambling, because if we continue gambling, of course this will make us continue to experience losses which will result in us not being able to meet our own needs. Choosing to set a gambling schedule will of course help us not to gamble too often so that we will not become addicted to gambling which will have many bad impacts on ourselves and those around us because we have experienced a gambling addiction.

Preparation is key to any activity, including responsible gambling. Gamblers need to set a concrete plan with a specific amount of money you can afford to lose. This can avoid chasing losses and keeps gambling as entertainment, not a financial burden. Gambling can also be very engaging, so setting time limits helps ensure it doesn't take over your life. Schedule other activities and stick to those timeframes to maintain a healthy balance. Gambling should never take the big amount of time for people to have a fulfilling life.

There are always chances of losing. Gamblers only need just to focus on enjoying the game, not chasing wins to avoid getting carried away. Mature mentality and principled mindset are needed aspect to have for gamblers in experiencing the joy of gambling. This is why gambling is harmful for young age people, they are not ready with the turbulence of emotions.

People fail to realise that they are slowly getting addicted to gambling, when once something has started to be a priority to you and you give it so much time even at the expense of other important stuff, you should check yourself. Yeah and more over in your case you even losing to such a habit and you didn't know you were slowly getting addicted to gambling.

Gamble with what you can afford to lose and never spend much time on it, like it's been month now since I last opened my sporty app and that's because I busy with other things or I'm not ready for it yet and that's a sign that I'm still in control.

Yes this is the reason why gambling addiction can come consciously or unconsciously but most gamblers do not realize that they have entered the addiction phase and even sometimes they also do not want to admit that they are addicted when someone asks. All this happens because they are wrong or too excessive in terms of treating gambling activities, usually they always prioritize gambling based on expectations such as wanting to win so that when they lose they are unable to accept the defeat and this is a situation where they will enter the phase of pursuing recovery which however you can never pursue because the possibility of defeat will always lurk every time you gamble.

In the end yes you enter the addiction phase without realizing it, and as you said that the best approach in the long run to gambling is to have involvement without overdoing it, such as gambling with a small budget amount along with limiting your gambling time, it is always about these two things that are key because usually the disease of most gamblers is when they are unable to accept defeat which in turn gambles impulsively which will lead them to bad effects.

preparation is everything. Not just in gambling, but in every damn thing you do. Anyone who's lost big knows the sting of not having a budget - thats where I feel for those folks. Setting limits isnt being negative, its the smartest play. Know your loss limit, then you can focus on winning.

Time management - another non-negotiable. Its easy to get caught up, in gambling or anything else that grabs you. Setting time aside, knowing when to walk away, thats the mark of a winner. Not just a gambling winner, a life winner. See, I talk the talk, but this stuff truly matters.

Gambling's fun, but the real win is the whole experience, not just hitting it big. Enjoying the process, thats what keeps you sane through the highs and lows. Life lesson, right there. Younger people might struggle with that, not for lack of brains, but the emotions are raw. Thats when its about guidance, not shutting them out of the fun.

All gamblers are prone to loss, so quitting would not be the best idea, because such person may still return  to gambling with that same mindset of experiencing only wining or more wining. Besides if you gamble with small stakes you wouldn't even feel the impact of losing your money, it is advised that a gambler limits his stakes and spend less time gambling else he might get addicted and even loss some of his property because of gambling. But when you have discipline all you need is to restructure your gambling schedule and stake, if possible keep a specific amount to be used for gambling, and never try to exceed that amount.

Is good you should always take your time to gamble, because what you are doing at first is a risk, so you have to take your time to look at it very well and take signals from other games, use much time to predict before you start, like the casino I don’t really how people do set their strategies and how they look at it, well I have experience loosing fund without making proper plans and putting your working, so there for you have to take your time and don’t gamble during work time to avoid have some challenge and issues

Fail to realize that they are getting addicted to gambling is something that many gamblers face because gambling can tempts them easily and makes them playing gambling more and more. They even doesn't realize that they already used more money to satisfying themselves from playing gambling because they wants to gets more pleasure from gambling.

When they can realize that playing gambling can makes them losing much money, they will prevents that happens and will not spends much money. That will not worth to do while they still have many things to fills for their lives so they must limits their money to playing gambling. If they can't do that, that will a matter of time to see they will lose all of their money and they will becomes addicted to gambling.

There is nothing certain in gambling, except defeat, because losing in gambling is a certainty while winning is only a possibility. and this is regardless of how much we do in the analysis and predictions we make, or the mastery of the game we have. And good self-control, as well as implementing limits on the money we spend gambling, is the main key to maintaining and maintaining responsible gambling. Including the application of limits on the time we spend gambling.

When playing gambling, we should be the ones who have full control over the gambling we do, not the other way around where we are the ones who are controlled by the gambling activity, so that we don't know and are able to decide when to play and when to end it. However, quite a few people are lulled by gambling, where they gamble and place bets non-stop, even worse when the money has run out, instead of stopping for a moment from gambling activities and starting to introspect themselves, they are still trying to find out how they can continue. carrying out and continuing gambling activities, even if it means taking out a loan or selling personal items.

Accepting a gambling issue is tough. It's like facing your worst fear knowing only you can hurt yourself. Unfortunately, the house always wins when people chase that high. Despite it, they wager everything in hopes that this time will be different.

The key is moderation, which you mentioned. Gambling may be fun; a little money, a little risk, exhilaration.  Finding that stimulating, non-destructive balance is key.

What's wrong with gambling is how it dominates. If losing is inconceivable and a person can't walk away, addiction begins. However, self-awareness and discipline help you fight back. You should enjoy the game without being consumed by it. Maintain control and limits. You play the game without being played.

I've been really thinking about this one lately, and I am very frustrated. I can win some for a day if I have the time, like a lot of time, maybe half a day, but you know you have things to do like go to work, go with your friends and loved ones, and of course for yourself too, like going out, watching movies, or maybe playing games. You don't want to give up those things just for gambling, right? And also, of course, when it is nighttime, you will become frustrated because you are not making any progress on your gambling funds, and you will be eager to win more and end up losing that night. 

Thanks for the advice, I think I need to made some changes on this plan of mine to work.

Well said.
Discipline solves the problem.  As you have rightly said, the main defense should be, not allowing yourself to be dominated by gambling. When dominance kicks in you become a slave to it leading to addiction, over-gambling, and also risking much without any set rules or control.

So the earlier we build our system to fight against all this, then only can we play the game and not be played, thus helping us take into consideration other areas of our life. Without our system surely we will be consume by the system.

Well that's a good enough reason to play lottery when you have actual changes for winning, even though it would be by cheating. But may i ask what country this was and do you recon it's still happening? I got impression that this was rather long time ago.

At in here there are so many layers of security and transparency and changes to audit the lotteries, that it would be highly improbable someone could cheat in it. It would require so many people being in that same scam that profits for it wouldn't be worth the risk of getting caught.

Even before internet, the security was tight for the both machine and there are tv cameras watching the lottery live with a police standing next to the machine :). Which was quite over the top but send a signal of integrity of the raffle. In here trust on police is quite high because of the transparency and regulatory oversight and weekly lottery with a police was similar to elections, which are considered almost holy ceremony, as we are so proud of the integrity of the whole event.

            -     Gambling should be considered just for fun and should not be thought of as a job. As for me, I only play when I have a free day and need to have fun.
It also gives me comfort when I have a problem or am a little stressed.

And when I lose, I'll stop, watch for a while, and then later on, I'll exit. That's the same cycle I follow when I gamble in a casino. And I've been doing it for a year here in the crypto
space field.

Of course, we have to get used to it from the start by playing with full awareness, because this is very important so that we don't get carried away by the atmosphere of gambling games which makes it easier for us to experience defeat, and even lose everything. And playing with full awareness, we will have no difficulty controlling ourselves and will act carefully and considerately when we want to make decisions.
It's not easy, but you have to get used to it for the good of the gambler. And the issue of playing time is also very important, and play when we have free time with a very good overall condition. Because with this we can enjoy the game and play relaxedly without any ambition and emotions which will prevent us from feeling greedy and losing consciousness which will lead to many defeats.

This must be applied because by getting used to diverting our thoughts when we experience defeat it will help us from feeling emotional and other things. Most gamblers always get caught up when they start to get emotional from their defeat so they continue to play excessively just to chase their defeat, ultimately making them uncontrollably lose a lot of money and lose a lot of money. losing big in just a moment, many cases like that eventually become gambling addiction which we know is a disease that is difficult to cure.

I also often divert myself when I experience defeat, usually going out for a while with my wife and children, playing bowling or just fishing, at least getting rid of the thought and pressure of playing gambling again, enjoying what we do, the point is don't take gambling too seriously because if it's too serious it won't work. it will never be good in the end, fortunately I also always think that gambling is just for fun so there is not much hope of winning and getting money, if you lose, just go somewhere fun. Not all the fun is in gambling. There are lots of things to visit out there.  ;D

What you're basically saying is that stop gambling when you're addicted.

It's not about having the lack of time that causes you to lose so much on these gambling sessions, it's the fact that you're making gambling a way bigger part of your life than what it should be. The fact that you're consistently allocating time and budget for it (and quite poorly I must say since you're losing funds which I would presume is supposed to go for your daily expenses) to the point that you're losing both sleep and money because of it is a telltale sign that you're already addicted to it, you're just one bad game away from really digging a deeper grave.

So in that regard, and this goes for everyone out there who's looking to gamble, make it a point to not make gambling any bigger than an alternative hobby you could take when the others just couldn't cut it for you, don't spend so much time and money on a rendezvous that is literally created to profit off of other people's misery and misfortune. Be more intelligent and be sensible, gambling is gambling, it's not a way of life.

nah! That's not true. What's your problem is possibly that you're not able to manage your time the right way. It could be another thing outside of Gambling. Their are people that comes back from work and waste a lot of time on the social media or just watching movies and end up allowing it affect thier next day at work. Planning your day will actually help you manage what and what you do at every step of the way.

Like, if you're playing your casino once you're done with the days work, it's as simple as setting out how long you will play the casino before going off to do prepare for the next days job. Set out an alarm that reminds you that you've exceeded the amount you're to spend in your casino and that way, you kind of monitor and control your excesses so you can go about your gambling in a responsible way.

that's what gamblers should do, that they can play, but they also need to manage their time and set limits so that gambling doesn't interfere with their activities. if they have to stop, then they just stop, and when they play, they know their limits, so they don't use too much money and it doesn't disturb their psychology. this can be said to be a responsible gambler, because responsible gamblers are those who can control their gambling, not vice versa, gambling controls them.

Out of curiosity, what kind of games do you usually play, in which you spend most of your day in? Perhaps, Dices, plinko or some similar game?
I believe if you want to try and improve your time management, you should not focus in casino games but rather go for betting. In betting (unlike with casino games) you do not need to be 100% focus on you session so you can get profit, it requires less time, but you would.need to have your phone always with you and have internet connection, so you can follow the matches through social media and also catch out your money before the end of the matches, if you feel it would be convenient for your bankroll.

In the end, the first step towards improving our life, is admitting there is something we wish to change for the better. You already took that step, now all it is left is to work on it. Good luck and hopefully your future sessions will be profitable and full of excitement.  :)

it should never control you. I've witnessed how chasing that high can derail lives.

The key is control. Gambling's built for the house to win long-term. Thats just the way it is. You put your rent money on a bet, hoping to get rich? Thats a losing strategy, and frankly, not very smart.

Being smart means setting limits. Have some fun, sure, but within reason. Keep it as a hobby, one you can afford. Think about it -  if gambling's running your life, dictating your decisions, then you're not in charge anymore. And thats the worst deal you could make.

Remember, the thrill's great, but it shouldnt come at the cost of your well-being, your family, your future. I know a lot, I've seen people fall hard because of this. Take it from someone who values winning the right way - gamble responsibly, or the only person you'll be hurting is yourself.

We are so lazy and so unconscious that we never live according to a routine which is why no matter how much we set a gambling limit we always go over it. at first we can control ourselves but gradually we become addicted to gambling due to which we increase the amount of gambling.  And this is how we gradually become deeply addicted to gambling. there are many of us who cannot think of gambling as a bad thing and those who think of gambling as a simple and easy thing become addicted to gambling more quickly. as they have no control over themselves, they always exceed their limits

This is one thing most people don't know, and they see it as a very common thing. Everything has time, and you just need to give your body the rest it needs instead of stressing the brain more. 
 
There are people who can just finish up with stressful work and need to rest and relax. Instead of looking for things to do or lying down and sleeping, they will go straight to an online casino to place multiple bets, and the outcome of the game most times can turn out negative due to their restless minds. 

That's on a different perspective of what Op is saying, although it's cool to set out some time for gambling during our free times. But those who are not able to do this are actually on Op's radar of advice. Not everyone knows how to deal with challenges, and most people only have fewer sleeping times, because they gamble during their resting time. Or few hours before they go to work. Everyday requires lots of chores and home keeping before we go to work. The time management as you said, will definitely affect the player, as every single minute he spends gambling could be converted to hours, due to the level of curiosity gambling could cause to a player. Some would forget they've spent more hours gambling and could sleep off on their computer. That's actually where this gets bad.

Absolutely a great topic that touches on one of the most pressing issues. As a rule, the path of any gambler, for example, who is fond of batting, begins with the fact that he mentally analyzes the games, but this analysis is not implemented anywhere. I mean, gambler doesn't bet, he just thinks. Then he gets bored and makes a bet, usually a successful one. At the same time, he has a lot of time. But then he gets into gambling and wants to bet, but he doesn't have much time, for example, because of work. But the habit remains, and such a gambler makes bets without analyzing his actions and loses.
I've seen it with my friends too.
Therefore, I would like to say that if a gambler does not have time, it is better to be outside of gambling.

Well, as much as I agree with people should gamble all through when they are supposed to be resting, most especially, those who may not later have the time to actually rest because at that time, something very important to attend to must have come up, but honestly, I don't think going online to place some bets on some ongoing or about to kick off sports matches is a wrong thing, and the outcome of such bet, in real sense usually don't have anything to do with whether they player was tired at the time he or she placed that bet or not.

Let's say for example, I knew a match between Liverpool and Arsenal is coming up, judging from the current standing and points earned by this two clubs in the Premier league table, we could easily tell that this match will be a very stuff one, as only the best of the best club can win, and there will no room for any kind of mistakes for both clubs because any club that makes any mistakes can literally serve as an opportunity to win for the other club, so, I've studied this game in the day time, probably during my free time at work, and I came to the conclusion that Liverpool would win the match, but unfortunately, there was no time to put up my bet on Liverpool at that time.
So, let on, I got home, feeling very tired and sleepy, but before I sleep off, I decide to go online and place my bet on Liverpool since the match will soon begin, and I may miss out on a potential win and profit if I don't place that bet at that time, I placed bet successfully and then slept off late, and when I work up, I discovered that Iost the bet, because somehow, Arsenal have managed to beat Liverpool, are you going to say that the reason I lost that bet is because I place it when I was tired and feeling sleepy? Or I lost as a result of wrong analysis/prediction.?

There are even some movies about it, when you think of a lottery do not always think about it like millions of dollars, there are some local very small ones with a few tens of thousands of dollars as well. I believe Bryan Crantson played in one of them as well, was a fun little movie for sure.

I think it is quite important to realize that we are going to end up with a situation where it wouldn't be as easy, and we end up with a situation that wouldn't be too quick to finish it off neither. Just consider the possibility of doing things like this as temporary, and not a way to get rich. In the end, gambling is something that carries a risk with it at all times, so there shouldn't be any person who looks at it like it is some sort of income.

Gambling is only as time-consuming as you make it. If you wanted to you could play a single slots game which only takes seconds or poker which takes much longer. But if you notice that you are not good at handling either the time or the gambling and it is having a large impact on your life, then you should totally consider changing some things- or simply giving up on gambling.

Some people can handle it, some cannot. You know yourself best.

If you are really that serious on having that gambling session at least and not really consuming out your time then put up a single bet on a single roll YOLO then no matter what the result would be then you do simply stop and call it a day. Never ever tend to spend up even more time after a very long exhausting day  after your own work because we do know that even playing into this kind of condition is something cant really give out that kind of enjoyment or thrill just because you are tired. Dont force up on something for it to work if you do find it that your body is already that exhausted. There would really be the perfect time for you to be able to do so and not something that you are forcing just because your mind telling you that you should be playing no matter what.

Also, there's no fun when you do make up some bets when you are tired. Its pointless if you do have that kind of aim and point of view into your gambling session. You cant really be able to enjoy
because you are tired. Do it for some time on which you are well and that not came from those tiring moment.

The better meaning is to never get involved or quit gambling if you or anyone does not want to experience any problems whether in terms of finance or time, because however if someone is involved in gambling then I am sure they will not really be able to fully manage their time well, there will always be time that should be for other interests but instead they use it for gambling, it is difficult to really have good management of time or even money when you are already involved in gambling.

One of the reasons is because gambling can be very tantalizing which makes someone sometimes feel very curious at any time even when they are not in the right time or when they are in the time they should use for other interests such as rest, everything happens because of the curiosity that is sometimes difficult for them to ignore, as you said that the level of curiosity will always be in a player, unawareness can plunge someone who ultimately ends up with regret.

Even if they are old and no longer have much to do, they shouldn't be spending all their time on gambling; it's really not that good.
 
They should also be spending time on other things, like their family, grandchildren, and the rest of them, and the type of game they play if money is not involved should not be considered gambling completely.
 
Imagine them at that stage playing gambling outside their home, waking up every day, and stepping out to play games. You can't be sure of the kind of feeling that might attract them; most times they might be losing badly to their opponent, which won't leave any positive energy on them.

I agree with you as gambling can't be use as a source of income due to the inconsistent nature of gambling. You can win money today and lose the next time that you gamble therefore you can consider sometimes that you can depend on for consistency to be your source of money. Gambling should be an activity that we do for entertainment and therefore it shouldn't consume too much of our time or it'll become an addictive activity that we can't stop but yet isn't making us money.

Every individuals that doesn't profit from gambling should stop gambling. If gambling is taking too much of your time you also have to stop gambling or reduce the amount of time that you spending gambling. Just few hours is okay for you to gamble, you don't have to spend the whole day gambling unless you're out with your friends or family and the type of bets you guys will be playing won't be too harsh.

as social creatures, it is difficult for us to be able to gamble full time, it is impossible, especially since gambling is a way of making money that can never be used as a main source of income, I play slot gambling only when I have free time but lately I can't do it, my responsibilities as a mother mean that I haven't played slots for the last few months, we have to prioritize the important things in our lives, for example family, gambling is fun but we can't make it the main thing and even forget about our family. 
Gambling too much will never be good, in fact almost 100 percent of people who gamble too much will only lose money, re-strategizing gambling is necessary when the responsibility or strategy we use is not effective.

Op this is quite true, gambling needs time, attention and patience, and it is better you don't combine gambling with your little schedule if not you will end up been fatigued almost all the time. additionally gambling needs much attention that's why most of civil servant workers chose to gamble by weakened when they will have time to relax and think as well without interfering in their working days. and gambling is interesting when you have enough time because it gives you the chance to make rightful decisions especially when you a sports gambler.

But ordinarily when we consider that gambling is helpful but cannot not substitute a full-time job, it is always advisable that you gamble at your leisure time or at your free times so you can create more chance and attention for your full-time job, gambling is also distracting and can take much of  time so thread with caution when gambling so that it does not ruin your full time career.

We can't gamble full time but some people out there can do that because they don't wants to do other things. They focus to playing gambling and use gambling as their main things in their lives so they will just playing gambling every day. That can gives them trouble shortly and if they don't realizes, they will becomes addicted to gambling. Gambling can't never be used as a main source of income but some people still trying to use it and spends more money because they thinks that they can do that. Their minds just thinks that gambling is a short way to make money. That's why we must have many things to do and will not have much free time to playing gambling and we can avoids thinks about gambling because gambling is not too important to us. We must be wise when playing gambling and must manage our time to playing gambling.

This is a person’s problem, if he does not know how to separate work and rest, then he will not be able to fully enjoy the work he is doing. Gambling can be classified as an active recreation, I mean that a person will be emotionally stressed, so it is not a vacation in the form that could help a person relax, but it can help take a mind off other things. So you need to take it as it is and be honest with yourself whether you need it or not.

The tendency to place multiple bets puts the gambler at greater risk life is messy and everyone copes in different ways. Unfortunately gambling can be a way out but it causes greater harm depending on the level of intensity you feel while gambling which I believe contributes to the severity of the addiction. Some of us can win and walk away and feel nothing. Others of us play for escape entertainment a sense of exhilaration a sense of invincibility power.

Whether it's impossible or not, it's not recommended to gamble full-time because as you said, someone who gambles a lot will tend to have more losses than wins, so it doesn't make any sense to be gambling full time when you know the outcome can't be in your favour in the long run.

Being a parent or a person who has a lot of responsibilities, one can't even spend some time gambling even if they gamble just for fun and not for the gains because a responsible person cannot expect to earn money from gambling because they would know it isn't possible. You are right that we need to prioritize other stuff over gambling because it is just an activity that we can do whenever we got time while other responsibilities are supposed to be fulfilled at their designated times.

When you are the owner or head of a family things can be good enough to have them well, that is why with family or without family the players cannot be irresponsible, they must spend what they have just for that because otherwise it is possible that a lot of money will be spent and If the money that is for the faili is spent, it is something unforgivable, and yes, it is a great reason for irresponsibility.

I like the general hil nen because it talks about people's time, and especially about playing, if there is no time to do an activity like gaming, then there is no need to do it, because with little time and little money sometimes it is better not to risk it. .

This is precisely why I don’t play often, but more rarely and only bet on those events that are really interesting to me, because we can partially say that we buy pleasure in the form of excitement and other emotions. And those who are chasing winnings probably do not understand the essence of the game very correctly, they make endless bets and over time the brain ceases to distinguish between different events and sees only potential winnings. You need to be able to distance yourself a little from the game in order to rethink your previous actions, this helped me think about everything and return to the game more mentally resistant.

If we start devoting a lot of time to the game, then our other responsibilities will fade into the background and then this can significantly affect our lives for the worse. I don’t want this, so after I complete everything I need and have time left for gambling, only in this case will I devote my time to it if I want it. For my bets, I have not set the highest priority.

As a gambler, one of the most risky things to do is engage in multiple bets that won't benefit anything from such an act. I know how I enjoy taking risks, but doing something like this just shows how reckless a gambler a person can be. because there is a very high possibility that you might lose the two bets, and these are people who make gambling look like it is a threat to people's finances, and there is a lot of opportunity that it comes with, especially when you win any of your bets.

The issue of making such moves does not count, how smartly you make use of opportunity matters a lot. it is better to place a good bet than think that when you place multiple bets you will win it is not possible. playing everyday to me is not addiction how you manage your play is the problem to many reckless gamblers, everywhere, And that is why they are not making any serious thing from gambling.

If we don't have time to bet it is better we leave betting for another day rather than trying hard to gamble when the time is never there for us to play bet. Sometimes it is very bad for us to force ourselves to play bet if we have the time to do that. There are people that don't always have the time to play bet due to there schedules and nature of their work. There should be enough time to calculate well and look for good games that will bring us funds and allow us to make profits.
We need to make money from betting since it is the major reason why we keep betting so that we can make money without much stress.

This is the reason why every human being is given a common sense in him which is used to make various considerations using common sense and rational points of view to really be able to make decisions that are really appropriate and needed, and all people have a common sense or brain to think (except those with mental disorders) but unfortunately not all of them can really think rationally to make decisions that are really appropriate, such as in terms of finding the right time to gamble.

On the other hand, yes it is true as you say that gambling can be called active recreation which can provide entertainment benefits to someone when they are in a really boring state without having other activities to do, but it can also be an activity that causes a rise in emotions in themselves especially when they gamble at the wrong time such as gambling at a time that should be used to do other things, and this is why I say that healthy and rational thinking is really needed for a gambler who is none other than to make the right decision in terms of determining when is the best time to gamble.

Some people don't even know when they can gamble or when they can be into serious things like their work and school hours and give their family time. Most gamblers that I have come across sometimes always believe that when ever they are in their right state of mind or have a game that comes to their mind to place a bet on (especially on sports betting),
 
They should leave whatever they are doing to play that game; you can't tell if that's going to be the right game that will change their life or not, and if you don't gamble at that time, you have to urge that you might miss the fun of gambling even if it takes the person to suspend whatever they are doing at that point in time.

Gambling requires enough time ready before a gambler can think properly on his moves and the right techniques to implement in his gambling game. However, some people get carried away or deceived that a specific time could be the better moment of gambling to increase their chances of winning. This false admittance will only affect the genuinety of the current work or task the player is currently working on. Gambling is not meant to be rushed. It's a simple game that's supposed to be calculated and the right choices made to avoid confusions or disputes on the long run.

I don't think gamblers should derive joy by gambling in a way that doesn't promote responsible gambling. This will only affect their finance on the long run. And put the player on a stage where he could continually wager money like this till a bitter moment of losses and financial break down. I admit the notion that gamblers should always wager when they have enough time to play. Unless the player is always busy with work and only has few moments to gamble in a day, it's always great for a player to observe his moves by offering enough time to it.

If you have time to earn the money to gamble then you are ok, if you are already out of time then gambling will only make that money situation worse.  Dont spend time using up the money and time you already dont have, I have to agree with that sentiment.

It will feel far better to give leeway on your situation rather then putting yourself under pressure.  The gambling typically will not go well if you start uncomfortably out of place or rushing to complete vs other tasks already on your hands.  Some people can juggle chainsaws but most of us should learn using bean bags, keep it simple and positive results are more likely :)

Having a schedule for everything is what makes you to perform at ultimize level all the time and even gambling as a fun based activities need to be done when there is free chance and money, that is in reality you never allow your gambling activities and habits to crops into other activities in you daily life, if you do so, you may be exposing yourself or even already addicted without you knowing, because at that level you are already gambling excesiveley since no time schedule to monitor your gambling time.

And the problem that I have seen with some gamblers, they do it with their corporate time. Yes, the time that should be allotted for their tasks in their offices and jobs, they're allotting it to gamble.

We've seen threads with that and that's a serious offense to the company but I hope that those type of gamblers will be reminded and have some pat in their back to do what's right.

Otherwise, it will be developed and they will think that it's a normal thing to do it as their free time but even with that, they shouldn't do it.

It’s always advisable a gambler set time and day for gambling not always, although not all gamblers will love to control their gambling habit in such manner and it’s rare seeing such discipline coming from a gambler. I personally don’t gamble during the evening but, I don’t have any limit gambling any day. It’s obvious most people work all day and it’s not advisable gambling during work time so people like this can always set free days for gambling.

It's very important, to be honest with yourself about the time and resources you have available before engaging in any kind of gambling activity. Gambling, whether it's sports betting, casino games, or online poker, requires a significant investment of your attention and focus in order to be done responsibly. If you find yourself with limited free time due to work, family obligations, or other commitments, then gambling should not be a priority. Trying to squeeze in gambling sessions when you're already pressed for time can quickly spiral out of control, leading to poor decision-making, financial troubles, and an unhealthy preoccupation with the activity.

Well not that am against all what you have said and what not but I also believe that you can have all the space and time in the whole wide world and still make some stupid shit ass mistakes like not being able to control yourself especially when you run into some series of loses and I think many gamblers out there can attest to this. But majorly though, having the free time when it comes to practicing and enjoying your gambling really matters alot because the moment you get inconvenienced you start making big errors.

This is why gamble is not for the weak, only those who are emotionally buoyant tends to survive the odds of not getting addicted or gamble irresponsibly when the loses begin to frustrate you. Gamble is a game of luck, and when you have this mindset, about 40% of your problem as a gambler has been settled. Reason I said so is, admitting the truth of what gambling is will help you withstand the pressure of emotionally deciding whether or not to play or, rise or lower your stake. Because lots of gamblers make the mistake of increasing their stake too much after wining  a bet. At the end they are left with nothing but regrets for being too greedy.

I would say if you have free time to spare time even then one should go for gambling with care. There are gambling where your mind is required such as poker player, one can say that you need time in such scenarios other then that gambling like sports betting is entirely about your luck. I don't get the idea that if you don't have time then don't go for gambling. Go for gambling if you have control over your emotions.

Even those who don't have a job or have more free time doesn't mean they can gamble as much as they want, of course they have to be able to gamble on a limited basis. Also for those who have a lot of money or who don't have a lot of money, gambling should not be a priority because it will only drain our finances with the fact that losses will occur more often than wins. However, gambling is not good if it is made a priority. It is better to gamble properly, within set limits, whether in terms of finances or time.
We have to gamble responsibly because there are still many things to do than gambling. Also, if you really have a little time, don't use it for gambling because there is a big possibility that gambling can make us fall asleep and forget time unconsciously, especially when the gambling we do can result in winnings, it can make us forget about time.

It seems like gambling should be done comfortably and relaxedly, if you don't have much free time left then it's best not to force yourself to gamble because it will make the gambling you do uncomfortable and as you said, when we don't feel comfortable with the gambling we do can make big mistakes such as betting high amounts or continuing to gamble even though they have experienced consecutive losses. Of course, this does not benefit us, as much as possible we must be able to gamble as well as possible, in other words, comfort must also be considered because betting in uncomfortable conditions is not good.

I myself gamble when I really have quite a lot of free and free time, on weekends I do it from afternoon to evening, because it makes me comfortable in gambling so I can enjoy the gambling that I do, because it is gambling. What we do must be enjoyed, but if the gambling we do is not comfortable then there will be no enjoyment that can be felt.

There is a saying that "everyone makes mistakes" and this applies to anything we do including involvement in gambling, meaning that no matter if one knows that having self-control in gambling is a good skill and is recommended but there will always be situations that can make the person forget about this, And as we know that every human being has feelings in themselves and also the brain and mind to remember but it is a fact that when the level of consciousness according to then obviously anything can happen such as when someone is dominated by emotions in themselves which is a situation that can make them do anything even that does not make sense, and all that happens as a result of consciousness decreases and emotions dominate and for the problem of impact is clear as you say that most likely a gambler can experience a losing streak when he cannot immediately stop his actions or if his consciousness has not recovered. That's why I've always said on several other pages that a gambler should apply firmness in his/her consciousness to minimize the possibility of losing consciousness.
