Your Gambling Life During Quarantine

[swogerino]

Well, I have to say that my gambling life hasn't changed much during quarantine. I was always more oriented to online casinos than to phisical ones.
But I think this is very dificult time for gambling addicts who are in danger that their addiction becomes even worse because if they gamble all the time with nothing else to do, the consequences might be very bad.

The gamblers in the real offline casinos are moving to online mobile gambling just after they were locked. I have a cousin who keeps going to a local casino but few weeks after the lockdown I received a message from him asking which online casino to play.

Because They don't have no place to go but Online specially those who are in places that Under lockdown or Enhanced Community Quarantine .

I have also some friends who is now enjoying Online betting than traditional gambling because of no other choice.
Though i heard from other friend that sometimes they are gathering in silence just to play Cards with each others in each houses so they cannot be monitored by people in community,Sneaky right?

This is what they do in my neighborhood too. Instead of gambling online, they still prefer to gather in someones house then play Mahjong or cards(tong its, pusoy, in between). They chose being sneaky even its dangerous, because they're bored. I hope no one is a carrier. We play cards too but only with other family members because we wouldn't want to go out.

I think what you do is quite dangerous.If someone has Covid but does not show any symptoms it can affect all the people playing in the house.No matter how bored you may be I would suggest you stop gathering in a small ambient like a home as it takes only 15 minutes staying in vicinity with the infected person and you are infected.
There are tons of online games to choose from to help you alleviate from your boredom.

GDragon is talking about other people and not about himself.
But I agree with you, that their behaviour are very risky and dangerous. But it could be a possibility if they wear FFP3 mask.

That kind of game are very popular in the Philippines, and this kind of gamblers attitude we normally see in rural areas.
Yes, they maybe not aware of the risk they are taking, they are willing to go out play with other people just to kill their boredom, I think that is unacceptable, and I believe gambling is illegal in the Philippines under the Enhance Community Quarantine (ECQ) or even the GCQ.

Don't forget those folks who got their Social Amelioration Program (SAP) money then decided to gather their amigos and amigas to do some cockfighting. And in the end, they were caught and punished by their local governments. They really can't beat those betting-itch they have on their a**es and will take the risk of extracting COVID-19 rather than staying at home.

It has been more than 40 days now I am under lockdown and I have not gambled yet. I did not feel like gambling in this period of uncertainty. No clue as to when things might get normal or I will have my job, too many things in my mind at the moment. Therefore did not have the urge to gamble at all.

Yes, these tough times have come like a blessing for a lot of people who were actually trapped in a loopy life where they had a fixed routine, fixed entertainment timings and never had the chance to sit back and assess what wrong they might be doing and what must be stopped.

I am myself a gambler and while I have not stopped entirely I have actually limited myself to a certain limit where I try and cap a max loss just like we do in automated betting in dice. I have gained much more control over my betting because when there was no limits I used to earn good but a big part was quietly going into the pockets of casino owners.

For recession which has been spoken about by expert, gamblers will still find their ways around the situations and still get their funs. Except those who sole aims to gamble is for them to make a living.

Gamblers would still not be affected I guess, they'll find a way to gamble, just like when the taxes are raise on liquor and cigarettes, people are still buying it, so it should not be different with gambling as usually people who consume the aforementioned are gamblers as well.

Sometimes I think about how people can found what they like in offline lives, and they also found in their online lives. And with gambling, people who are usually playing offline gambling, but in these situations, they can found online gambling so they can still play gambling. Maybe that is because they have a big curiosity to find what they always did in another place, and finally, they can see that thing in the other sources.

Depends on 2 factors mainly during this time:

1- Sports Betting: Because of the complete shutdown of almost all sports there is frustration among gamblers because those simulated reality games are nothing but HIGH HOUSE EDGE casino in my opinion.

2- Money Problem: Since a large portion of the society has been influenced by the covid-19 pandemic there are people who are not able to spend as much as they would in normal days and hence struggling to gamble.

Overall I believe gambling has increased in general because people have nothing to do but to sit at home and pass their time and gambling is one good way to do so.

It is nice that people are giving gambling as break as much required for people who are addictive this is a very good time as well to get away from it. Also for many people not sure about the job prospects and how recession would be hit so also better to start saving money rather than playing and losing it.

But, few people are actually more addicted to gambling just because they got lots of time and they have nothing but to find new addictions online and gambling is the first one that comes to them. I have a few friends who are rich and what I mean by rich is that they can just sit idle and live their life without a scar so those guys are now days looking for online gambling and one has just become a prey to pron and other rubbish things and he is spending like 20 hours a day on these things. So, while some people have improved their habits and some have gotten worst with the situation being so damn poor.

My life hasn't been influenced much because I am a coder and I still do online micro tasks and earn enough to live my life .

I also heard about that, the money they got from the government spent on betting or playing card games with their neighbor,

They don't think of the risk of the virus, instead of using the money they got in the right way, they use it in something that they shouldn't be.

Let me share that I have been an addictive guy to poker. Since I was having more free times these days, I tried to play poker on swcpoker and have lost a few mBTC so far. Now I have almost left all the others gambling than the poker one. It's way more addictive man, specially for such a lockdown when you have a lot of free times.

And if you have a lot of money as well? 

Any game can be addictive, we all know that, therefore we should take care of the risk to avoid addiction.
Staying at home does not mean our life will be boring and our time should be spent in gambling, you know try to meditate and think of other things, don't get yourself too contained with gambling as it will never help you at this time, be more productive, gambling is not a waste of time but with addiction on it, it is.

This quarantine that we experience isn't just normal experience. Example, for me it was my first experience about a pandemic. And yes, staying home doesn't mean you can't do anything. For those people who are lucky to know some of the best and good gambling sites, they are so lucky they have some things where they can produce enough earnings. Specially when in this situation, we isolate ourselves or locked up to ensure safety so we can't go to work,schools or businesses to earn money so we must look a way, and gambling is one of it.

My personal experience in this quarantine is I am playing a gambling game. I'm not a quite player that are good to those games but I know how it works and when can I start and when do I stop so thay I may able to avoid a big loses. Gambling while in quaratine is one of the best way to kill time while earning. But also risky because all of the money I used is for our own use and safety. In just one wrong choice or decision, I may able to lose all of it and nothing will left in me. So I played gambling but I am not let myself get into it.

Well, I have to say that my gambling life hasn't changed much during quarantine. I was always more oriented to online casinos than to phisical ones.

Indeed. This kind of attitute in order just to play because the reason is only bored is unacceptable. They must realize that mass gatherings and not paying attention to social distancing can lead them to a worst scenario. This kind of people doesn't think of the sacrifices of frontliners who dedicated their time in order to avoid the rapid increase of infected people from COVID-19.

We all know that quarantine brought by this pandemic is definitely boring but think of it, between gambling and choosing your life you must choose practical and life. I will not able to tolerate this kind of ideas. I will not dwell into this type of peoples that not dedicated to cooperate with the government. I played gambking on my own online and in that I can also play with my friends.

Now I have almost left all the others gambling than the poker one. It's way more addictive man, specially for such a lockdown when you have a lot of free times.

You need to use your free time to do many things so you don't have many free times because if you don't do that, your mind will think about poker games. That can make you use more money to playing poker games, and there is no big chance for us to win the games if we play for a long time. I guess it is the best time for you to learn from the addictive and you need to realize that having the addictive in yourself will not help you to win the games, but you can lose many times.

This is by far the best way to try to avoid thinking about gambling all the time for those that are addicted to gambling and even for those that are not but that are facing a lot of anxiety, not many people are discussing the psychological effects of staying at your home for very long periods of time but most people are simply not used to this and they are getting desperate and in their desperation some of them are not respecting social distancing because they cannot take it anymore, and the best way to take our minds out of all of those problems is to fill our days with activities that we enjoy we just need to avoid to fill our time with only one activity and instead choose several of them so we do not become addicted to them.

One thing that I find most useful to avoid thinking about gambling during this quarantine is to do some physical tasks even inside my house. Clean all the things that need cleaning. Move those furniture around to have some change of scenery. Let those sweat glands do their work and by this, I'm also getting a little bit healthy. These activities helped me to avoid thinking about gambling. Even for just a little bit of time. 

[Slow death]

For some gamblers they will readjust their ways of gambling during this time whike some won't change for good. We all know that, fu D's aren't made available for some gamblers and if they had the funds won't stop to continue their gambling acts. Some gamblers know how to save or manager their funds why others are always mindless with their spending while gamble.

talking about managing funds, in my country we are seeing something very sad ... the government has banned the sale of beers and other beverages to avoid concentration people because of the pandemic, but people will adopt another technique to circumvent the ban, they stay inside home of the owner who sells beers and consume beers, I wonder if they don't do the same scheme with gamble

For recession which has been spoken about by expert, gamblers will still find their ways around the situations and still get their funs. Except those who sole aims to gamble is for them to make a living.

the problem I see is that even people who lose their jobs will make loans to be able to gamble or they can steal money to be able to gamble

The poor will not be able to gambler because they need money at this time but we have people who are still making money at the moment and they want to entertain themselves, just like the people who are going into a land based casino, they love to risk big money but since it's not possible to go in a land based casino, they might find the online gambling as the best alternative, so the crypto casino or online casino will still live and remain profitable despite of the pandemic.

I also heard about that, the money they got from the government spent on betting or playing card games with their neighbor,

They don't think of the risk of the virus, instead of using the money they got in the right way, they use it in something that they shouldn't be.

You heard it and there are many news and articles on it and it really is true. There are some beneficiaries who are using the money they got from the government for gambling and some are for cockfighting.

I feel embarrassed, disappointed and disgusted with this kind of people TBH. There are some people here in our country who doesn't get any help from the government and yet these people are just spending the  money they got into something that they don't need to do like this. They are spending the money into something not important. Instead of using the money to buy what they want, they are using the money into different things that will not help them.

Income inequality is the case here. The poor sector of the society usually gambles to make more money with higher desire and dedication compared to the top rich. Risking the salary on the casino is a commonly known trap for the mentioned average Joe group, unfortunately. The higher they visit the physical casinos, the more they become addicted to gain "easy money". Quarantine changed their behavior but not their physiology.

Everyone's life is effected including the gamblers. Although Quarantine did not had any impact on online gambling but a human being cannot play gambling all the time, when you are restricted to go out, you feel depressed and your whole life style changes considerably.

It all depends on the income we can earn, if we have less income then definitely we will not gamble as much as we want, we can only gamble a limited amount and at this time it's better to just focus on the entertainment than the money we can make, just to prevent ourselves of getting attach to it.

its very crucial this time around, money is vital therefore entertainment should not be the first priority.

This is what they do in my neighborhood too. Instead of gambling online, they still prefer to gather in someones house then play Mahjong or cards(tong its, pusoy, in between).

Yes it is popular for the Filipinos Im playing the traditional gambling in my home sometimes but because I play through online I can play only few times in a month because Im focus in playing through online. It is illegal right now like mahjong many people will go to prison because they caught playing that game even they know it's not open to play in public even in private  so if we feel boredom we can play online .

Aside from being possibly prone to virus, it is prohibited because it is quarantine days. People must stay in their own house and not in others house even though it near or far. I personally knew someone who used to play Mahjong with small bets during these days. He almost live in his friends house due to this.
