Do you stop gambling in a time of crisis?

[bitbunnny]

This is very individual point of view.
When crisis or recession is approaching many have the attitude not to spend more as it is necessary and trying to save as much as possible for the rainy days.
Other think that exactly gambling might be the opportunity to make some money for the crisis time and they don't bother with possible losses.
To my opinion the key is to find the balance. You don't have to stop gambling entirely but be aware when it's the time to quit and how much is reasonable to lose without having consequences on your finance, it's all about control.

Guys, in moments such this we are living, with a crisis just ahead of all of us, do you stop gambling?

Crisis has a broad meaning in life, in this case in general, something or event may affect every individual or community in general, the economy, food, etc.

If you play gambling to risk money from your salary to expect wealth and victory from gambling results, a good step of course you have to stop in the world of gambling is dangerous for yourself.

However, gambling is only for entertainment and pleasure, without having to bet the money from the salary, just relax don't need to stop, the point is: the current global economic crisis there is no gambling addict who is one hundred percent to think of quitting gambling, I see no impact entirely on gambling addicts only some individuals.

I also run my own business and I'm a naturally money-conscious person, so I do stop or limit my gambling when I notice things are moving more slowly than usual or when I just see general red flags coming up ahead. While I enjoy gambling a ton and I love to support the sites around here, there's a point where I consider my own wellbeing more important, though I always like to have some fun no matter the situation.

It depends on your personal situation in the end. If you're not super financially secure then stopping gambling is a very valid thing to do.

I guess you mean't at the time of financial crisis, right? Well I guess most of the people who aren't addicted to gambling stops gambling for a while when they are facing financial difficulties. That is actually the most sensible thing to do. But, I guess those who are addicted to gambling, they end up using all they have to gamble. They start taking loans from people, uses other peoples money by lying to them to gamble. They end up making everything worse and starts to destroy their life beyond recovery.

[Rengga Jati]

In my case I have to admit that I will stop for a while.
When I see some crisis or a decrease of my salary (I have my own business), I immediately cut some stuff and gamble are one of the first I stop,

Good decision, I think. Sure, I also will do the same way as you. Playing gambling is only for extra money, so if you have limited money, just leave it temporarily. Then, play again once you have already extra money. In a crisis, it is stupid to force playing gambling and risks your life by spending money on a non-urgent matter.

[hahay]

That is a good choice because then, at least you still have good emotional control in the midst of the financial chaos that is happening in your life. If you continue to gamble in the midst of financial pressures, the results will be greater for the losers and we must realize that, if you continue to gamble amid the pressures that occur until you get good results at least it is a lucky factor and not everyone will get the same luck. So taking a break from gambling when there is financial pressure is the best idea.

When there is a crisis we have to stick with our priority and that should not be gambling.

The right thing is to gamble what you can afford only, so even if you are in financial crisis and you feel you have a spare money to gamble, you can still enjoy. Online gambling is not going into a physical casino where you need to risk hundreds or thousands of dollars, in online you can already enjoy even with a very little amount of money, that's why I fall into crypto online gambling.

Guys, in moments such this we are living, with a crisis just ahead of all of us, do you stop gambling?

No, to be honest, I can't. Despite the problem I am facing, despite the crisis I am still gambling. It is hard to stop, I can limit those times that I am gambling but I can't really stop it. Being said, I know my priorities; I know what should I do but I just can't get that out of my system, it is just there. It is a problem of mine but I can say that I can stop, limiting myself is just the start of it.

With the champions and europa league playoff matches going on until next week I probably won't stop since these are only few of the events I like to follow and there's a major tournament during the weekends. I could stop for a week if I prefer doing so but when you have these good competitive matches happening once or twice a month it's hard to just miss out on.

Guys, in moments such this we are living, with a crisis just ahead of all of us, do you stop gambling?

In my case I have to admit that I will stop for a while.
When I see some crisis or a decrease of my salary (I have my own business), I immediately cut some stuff and gamble are one of the first I stop, like going out and trips too

So, what's your opinion?

Actually, I don't even play gambling often, I am playing once a week, I am not really into gambling, but I think those who play gambling often will limit themselves especially those real gambling or what we called casino gambling to avoid contact from other person, virus is everywhere and for us to prevent that thing we should stay at home, do not go outside if it is not needed, especially in casino game where there are so many people, casino gambling is very crowded because there are a lot of gamblers who like to play more in real life than online, but I recommend that with this kind of virus in our country.

It is better if we play online compared to real life casino to protect ourselves from virus, we can still bet online but the thrill is not there because it is really different to play in that kind of medium especially if you want interaction while playing that you can have in real life.

I would definitely stop because right now we can't go outside without any good reason plus you might as well save the money that you could've spent in gambling if you were to stop right now. This time of crisis really tooks a turn for worse to a lot of people especially in the current market plummet. Crisis really destroys the good times

The money that you have which intentionally for gambling can be keep and be added to your emergency funds. The crisis might hit you financially
so better to make sure that you have extra money in case that your budget for the period of time got empty.
Extra money gives you extra time to think for possible opportunities finding sources of money.

[lienfaye]

I dont really stop but I minimize the time spent in gambling. Because in times when there's a crisis we need to prioritize the much more important things like family, financial expenses and source of income. But its not necessary to totally stop and I think it depends on each of us  since we have different views regarding this. Gambling is my way to have fun and not treating it to earn hence its like a hobby and im only spending a spare money. If I have nothing then I will use the free satoshis of the site where I usually play.

So, what's your opinion?

Yeah, I can stop.

It is not like that I am addicted to gambling and I can prioritize my expenses to what I need and what I should save. Another thing is that I just use some of my cryptocurrencies to gamble, as I said I prioritize other important or essential things. It is really important for us to able to stop since that will be the identification that we are not addicted to gambling and we are aware of what to prioritize.

So, what's your opinion?

Yes. I also stop playing gambling in a time of crisis like these days that i should be preparing and buying the things that my family need for these upcoming community quarantine here in our country due to the COVID-19, so i should step aside playing gambling for a while and take care of my family first for our own safety.

[JNvak]

Right now I'm not playing. Gambling is something I do for fun, losing money from time to time isn't affecting my personal life much. Now everything is different, because the whole financial world became fragile, it's better now to keep your money in your pocket, or buy some food supplies, instead of using it just to get entertained.

[bitcoinst]

You are well done. You deliberately made a decision to refuse games and risks including, under the condition of a crisis.
The advantage is that you made such a decision in advance, which will allow you to save a huge part of your capital while not getting depressed in unpleasant circumstances.

[Teawhalee]

It's not a good time to gamble because at this we don't know what will happen next. It's all about safety and well being first. This is exactly what many people will do and gambling company won't make much profit this time as well as other companies.

[johhnyUA]

I'm sorry but I have to disagree  
Not Everyone, some people are beyond the curve and even in a period of crisis they are not affected

We don't have to enter on a deep talk here but there's people who enjoy this time of crisis buying cheap stuff, cheap investments or investing in weak currencies

Buying assets or stocks on crisis market is normal. Not normal (and very rare) to keep throw out money to nothing (like gambling, let's be honest). And in crisis most people just follow their the instinct of self-preservation and just stop doing like that.

[Krislaw]

I don't stop gambling maybe i just limit on the amount on what i gamble, especially when there is a financial problem in our family, or like now there is covid spreading in our country and we are in need of food supply and groceries so we need to gather them. If i know if there is a problem or crisis happening i set aside my gambling or maybe stop it for a while, i think gambling keeps us to gamble more because we are hoping we can double our money in our hands and that mindset keeps us from gambling. But if you can still gamble if there is a crisis that's definitely addiction that needs to be rehabilitated.
