How often do you gamble?

[finaleshot2016]

I just gamble when I'm in the mood.

Since gambling is just entertainment for me, I don't find any reason for me to gamble every day or weekly. It's a waste of money and shouldn't be tolerated 'cause we might get addicted to it.

I gamble when I feel bored or it comes to my mind and wakes up that drive. It's like the need to eat something. Sometimes you want a normal dinner and sometimes you want to eat some fast food. For me, gambling is like that fast food you eat once a month or twice a month and forget about it.

Well, we have the same thought. It doesn't require an everyday use of gambling.

I gamble when I feel bored -snip-

I guess you don't really target to win but to have fun. Many gamblers stated the same purpose as you and it makes sense for me. Why not have fun through gambling as long as you know to limit the money to use. There are many fun games there, and you can enjoy them while gamble for profits.

It means you rarely play gambling. Some people can play more than five times a week or even every day. But surely it depends on you. If you are a busy man with lots of activities in real life, then yes you have very limited time to gamble.

It gladly you are not dealing with it seriously. Feels like a drug dude...
But if you are doing this all the time, it for sure you are just throwing your money to the hands of the owner. It can't be just a waste of time since you are enjoying it by then and you have money that is willing to spend. But for those who are in gambling that has limited financial capabilities, it could be a big problem. It is to think that we can't consider gambling as another source of income which we need to to spend a lot and gamble a lot because we usually ended losing up almost all the time.

I do not recommend playing when you are bored, your senses aren't working, you need to stay in a good mode so that you may think well, and decide right. It will be hard if you are just playing to waste time. You need to enjoy it , savor it, and when you do , you may have fun in gambling, like me I didnt play gambling so often but I am enjoying it very well.

Speaking in terms of me, I gamble the time I receive my salary or payments. I spend 20% to 30% of my salary or earning into gambling just to watch some of the profits and I try to not pour excess amount of my funds into a single game. I am into gambling industry since long time now and when it was the start for me, I commonly used to gamble most of the time which even made me loose 70% to 90% of my salary few months.

This made me spend my entire month with a financially lower condition which made me strictly restrict myself from being a gambling addict. Now, I gamble on platforms once or twice a month in order to serve my brain with some entertainment and even profits sometimes but I never rely on those profits anymore.

As long as he can have control of gambling, I think he will be fine at playing gambling even if he bored. The important thing in the gambling games is we need to have the power to set the limit, including controlling ourselves in gambling so we can prevent or avoid the big losses. But most people who are playing gambling cannot control themselves, so that makes them get a big loss. They will regret once they lose control of gambling because they will lose all of the money.

Are you gambling everyday?
twice a week?
once in a never again?

if you gamble everyday, can you stop whenever you want or are you fully addicted?

would love to hear more on your habits here on the forum.

I gamble twice or thrice a week actually I don't have a specific time to gamble I just allocate time and small funds when I have free time and there's no interesting stuff that I will do online or any project that needs time, so I can say I'm a moderate gambler.

That's a good thing given how addicted gambling is. Most of the gamblers cannot control themselves especially when they are losing that much. One thing that I have observed about gambling addiction is that, the bigger the loss, the higher the risk of being addicted into gambling because it will just give the gambler the 'hunger' to win back their losses. And as they are trying hard to cope up with their losses, the losses are slowly getting bigger.

There are set of standards that I following before I gamble my money. My mindset should be in the right condition where I do not feel stressed and exhausted because there are psychological factors that may affect my decisions. I just playing when my mind is ready where I handle the risks very well. I know that my money is not safe in gambling and I only investing the money that I can afford to lose. My estimation is I playing different gambling games 2-3 times a week.

Indeed, I have noticed that I don't get wise decisions when I gamble when I am stressed and exhausted.
Most of the times I lost my money in such situations.
I try to gamble in weekends when I am more relaxed in order to "protect" my money.

You'll likely have fun if you are relax while you are gambling, and doing it on weekly, you can call yourself an occasional gambler I guess.
Me, I don't like to gamble regularly but I am always tempted to gamble due to the nature of my work which requires me to be online most of the time, but although I am tempted, I can say that I have the discipline not to get tempted to put more beyond my budget.

Yes , but  I dont like to recommend gambling everyday, it is not good for me, except when you are a professional trader and that is your day and night job. You need also to take a rest for your mind to refresh, sometimes we made mistakes because we are too tired playing , so I recommend having atleast a 2days break in a week have time in yourself as well.

Mate, spending 20%-30% of your salary on gambling is still a lot. I presume you are living with your parents, and all your salary goes for your entertainment anyway, and then spending 20%-30% on gambling is okay. But I can't imagine a family man spending that much on gambling.

Anyways, this thread is more about time than money. Gambling a lot myself, time-wise, I came to conclusion that even if you gamble just once a week, or once a months, you should never gamble more than 4 hours in a row. With gambling more than that you become exhausted instead of relaxed, and it's bad for you even if you don't lose much money along the way.

absolutely that is not a good idea,imagine if you are earning a hundred bucks a day so you will be gambling 20-30$?that is a lot men in a month that is 600-900$ in a year estimated $7,200-$10,800 mate amount that can give you a second hand car right?

not unless you are winning and losing continuously thats why your money are not spending quickly right?we have sometimes a semi luck situation when the bet is winning and losing evenly so the more we are staying in the Gambling table.

and if we win enough?then that is the right time to get out and find way home.

Gambling everyday wont make someone get tired if he/she has a good time management. Some people gambling everyday but they spend some minutes only (less than an hour) so it wont make them tired. When I playing gambling everyday, I wont spend too much time each day. Gambling everyday does not mean that we should spend the whole day for gambling.

[ethereumhunter]

When gamblers can make a plan on how many he can gamble in a week with limiting his money, there will be no problem from them. All they need to do is make a schedule for the day to gamble, but many of us just gamble at any time they want, and most of them can prevent themselves from playing too long in the gambling. We know that gambling can be attractive or destructive, and that will depend on how we use gambling for the entertainment side or not. I think if we can make a schedule to playing gambling and we try to follow that schedule, we still get enjoyment and have fun because we only search for having a fun moment in gambling.

You'll likely have fun if you are relax while you are gambling, and doing it on weekly, you can call yourself an occasional gambler I guess.
Me, I don't like to gamble regularly but I am always tempted to gamble due to the nature of my work which requires me to be online most of the time, but although I am tempted, I can say that I have the discipline not to get tempted to put more beyond my budget.

Good thing and it should always be the mentality whenever you play just to enjoy and take some relaxation. There's a lots of risk if you failed to control your emotions, keep yourself some distance in order not to engaged too much and use more money than your set amount to play and get the entertainment that you wanted.

there is already a risk right after you step on that gambling site and start playing . if we are relaxed we are in mood to play more and you know what that means ? that means more spendings. it will be alright if we will win but exposing too much time playing a gambling will more likely lead to losses.   

if im not relaxed im not in the mood for play so i dont find my self inside the casino  . i also work online like the other user above , but i never get tempted to play often  .

Playing gambling is okay if it is just a hobby but of it is already an addiction its a no for me. Coz when you are experiencing addiction in playing gambling, a lot of changes will occur most especially if you have too much time to play the more likely you will be an addict. Even if you frequently lose you just cant stop playing because it is already in your system.

[johnwest]

I do bet on cricket matches as well as fantasy leagues so cant do everyday I guess but I play for fun and it became an addiction slightly, so cant stop also. Still I have allot more control right now than how I was in the past years.
I feel the addiction of gambling is completely insane and people who got addicted suffered, not just them but even their family so I would not share my hobby with my friends and family.

Recently, my workload at work almost does not allow me to engage in gambling. Well, if you manage to devote this to at least a couple of hours a week.
Last time I played poker a week ago, unfortunately with a rather mediocre result. Alas, I missed a lot of good games last week in connection with my busy position.
I would like to build my schedule in such a way that I have time for gamble at least twice a week.
