How many hours a day are you spending on online gambling?

[Turst1974]

I spent most of my free time on online gambling site, but only a small part of that time I used to gamble. Most of the time I use to chat with other users, especially users from my country. And to be honest, I have fun talking to them even though I don't know them personally.

I think yes, online gambling has changed the situation too much. Now you have always chance to play gambling online. You can play it at any time.  Therefore it is right to say that we cannot count the time for which we play gambling on even on daily bases.

I play online gambling in less than 1 hour because I don't have free time every day, so I decide not to play gambling for a long time. besides that, if I am playing gambling for a long time, it can make me become an addicting person, and I can spend more money. I don't know about the other, but I feel that if I am playing gambling for more than 1 hour, I am feeling not right and I need to get out of the site.

I think that it is not too much difficult to find time for playing online gambling, you can play online gambling even if you are in your office. I can see a lot of people who are regularly play online gambling while they are in their offices, during their duty time.

Its surprising to see the poll at the same %, 42.1% for both 1h and 2-5h, I would have thought that not many people would fall into the 2-5h slot but I guess you can't underestimate addiction. Or maybe boredom?

You have to remember, if kids are bored, they would spend hours on their phones or playing console games or even watching

TV. Adults on the other hand, will use gambling as a way of entertainment and to burn some time.  (Yes, some adults still

play games)    The difference between kids and adult games is the money they win or lose on gambling.  

IMO such a separation relating to different entertainment based on the age isn't exactly accurate. I think this is more about an environment, hormones and individual needs, maybe even genes determine craving for certain games (there was even a study about that https://www.bionews.org.uk/page_91056), as there are adults, that are okay with watching TV, news and alike - it's their amusement, on the other hand there are kids that would prefer playing hazardous games, cards, where they can feel the sweetness of victory. Take Monopoly, for instance - a typical game which proves that from the very childhood kids want to play games that involve money and power. I bet some schoolboys would enjoy playing poker if they knew the rules and would've bet everything they owned.

I spent a little time playing gambling online every day in less than an hour, because I wasn't addicted to gambling, so I avoided things that could make me feel addicted because the gambling I did was just looking for fun and trying luck from it.

Maintain that time of playing because if you go much that will make you addicted. Every big thing starts with smaller ones and I was like you before that I've said its fine to gamble with few hours everyday because I'm not addicted. But later, I found out that I became addicted because it changed my attitude that I'm always looking to gamble and my losses aren't that before which is acceptable. When time comes that you hardly accept defeat, you are getting near to addiction.

I am new gambler and my addiction is to the highest. Even at present while writing this post, I have my gambling website in the next tab. I am addicted to it, but I like it. At present I am gambling around 5-8 hours daily. This includes the time I am trading and other online tasks. If you say how much time the gambling website screen is in front of my eyes then I would say more than half the time. Actually, I am a day trader. I have to wait for the right moment to buy and sell and in the time between I have nothing to do, so I gamble.

How can you be a trader and a gambler at the same time? Surely you know they're at complete opposite ends of the spectrum? Quit gambling ASAP bro, you will likely regret it. Don't let coincidental big wins cloud your judgement, or think you can defy the odds, because you probably won't. Save yourself some future headache by stopping early.

I don't think that he is actually addicted tho. Maybe he just uses gambling to pass time and entertain himself while he do trades. Trading can be irritating and boring at the same time and something like gambling can provide the excitement if he manage to win.
Most gambling addiction stories that I have read includes gamblers who can't function as a normal person does. They can't work, they don't know when to stop but docnaster sounds like he still knows what he is doing and is aware of what he is doing.
Maybe it's just the start but it's good that he is not giving all his time in gambling alone.

I play online gambling can take up to two more hours, even though it is entertainment but I do not want to go wrong so I lose my money too much, so I remain careful in determining the strategy and hope to make a profit with what I am work

Just change strategies every 20 minutes and use low profitable ones. You'll be fine.

No matter which strategy you use, wining and losing percentage is 50 50 in gambling. Yes the strategy can only work on how you spend the funds and how to keep taking out the profits and make small / big bets depending on your funds and plan. As far as time spending is concern, i do not find much time during the week and weekend ,i think, are the best time to enjoy with gambling and have some quick money.

this is the best things that I can get from online gambling, I can play in anywhere and anytime but I don't spend too much time playing gambling. for me, it is enough to play the game for about 1 hour or less because I have many things that I need to do in daily so I don't waste my time for playing gambling only. besides that, if we spend more than 1 hour, maybe we can spend more money which we don't know if we can win or not.

The time you spend gambling depends a lot in the kind of game that you like to play, if you like to make bets on soccer and you like to watch the games in which you placed a bet, a single bet means two hours of gambling and this is even more true if you decide to do some live bets during the game, poker is also an example of a game that can take a lot of time to play, in fact just participating in one tournament per week should be enough to put you in the 2 to 5 hours a week bracket.

So as you can see the game you choose influences greatly the amount of time you spend gambling but how much time you spend gambling is a very deceiving metric to identify gambling addiction after all if a professional poker player told you he was spending 100 hours a week playing you may say he is an addict but if he earns tens of thousands of dollars out of it we cannot really say that.

i never have a fixed time for playing gambling. It is depending on my activities, whenever i am busy a lot then i play for less time but mostly on weekend i like to spend more time in casino.

[Marsilius]

I play almost every time when I have some free tome and sit in front of the computer and usually it's going as much as the tournament and my participation in it, so 2-5 hours and in bad days less than that.

I mostly like to play gambling on sports and specially on cricket matches, therefore whenever there is a tournament or cricket matches series then I remain too much busy while playing gambling.

Sounds interesting. Have you ever taken a day off at the office just to keep a watch on the events of a game where you were gambling ?

I cannot do this even if I wanted because of my current commitments.

[shanem]

I spend more than 5 hours gambling on sports especially soccer during weekends. However, I will spend at most 30 minutes on casino games when I am free.
There isn't much sports event to gamble on weekdays.

[LastKiss]

I was just thinking how much time people spend on gambling sites on a daily basis? I bounce back and forth between work

and household activities, but in my spare time, I like to chill with a beer in hand and doing some casual gambling. I do this

while watching TV, so it is part of my entertainment time.    Do you think, time spend on gambling is linked to gambling

addiction? Let's discuss this.  

Edit : If you spend less than 1 hour on gambling, please chose option 1. 

Currently I didnt spend too much time on gambling and it's not everyday too I go gamble, but in the past I spend almost 2 - 3 hours to play gamble on game dice and play it automatically or even manual but shorter time. IMO, people who addicted to gamble they will spend more time on gambling

I'm not sure if I would count the time watching matches for the poll question.  Even if I didn't wager money on a football match I would still watch it because I'm a big sports fan.

A poker player spending 100 hours a week? That sounds excessive, I would be very surprised if someone really spends that much time playing poker.

It’s good to see a limitation that you have imposed on yourself. This is the biggest and hardest work to control yourself. There are people who go to casino with friends and they don’t have any intentions to join this. But their greed makes the game and they jump into gambling thing. Their end is harmful and detrimental. So keep yourself away from it. Don’t even gamble for such 3 to 4 days too.

I think some of them feels bored in the game because they cannot win a big money. but there will be people that only want to enjoy the game only without thinking about the result of the game. I am playing gambling in less one hour and I think it's not because I am bored but it because I don't want to spend my free time in the gambling game only. I think it is better to use my free time to get relax beside playing gambling.

Obviously, losing money cannot be enjoyment for any person. Money is vital for living in today’s world. Most of the time, gamblers are looking for making money without actually putting any efforts. They want to earn without working hard. However, it is not possible. Other than this, gambling can never be a source of relief also. Bets make people nervous.

[iMark]

I gamble, 4 days in a week and its enough for me. Becasue when I started gambling I addicted to gambling. I couldn't live without gambling but now I can control myself and I put the limit for one week!

That is what every gambler should do, if they cannot live without gambling, they should make a schedule so they can play only during their free time, so they will not waste your time with no use, then don't forget to allocate funds specifically for gambling

Good for you then, because you don't spend just your money, you spend also your time.

In fact after starting gambling online I have really increased my gambling activities. In past while visiting a casino was not so easy, for that you need to manage and find out time to visit a casino and play gambling. While using online casino it has become possible to play gambling at any time you want.
