Do you limit your gambling time?

[YuginKadoya]

This is about how do you make sure that you are gambling in full control. There are many people who are easily brought into gambling beyond fun and that is a problem for them and also for the gambling industry, because it is for them that there are limitations in many countries.

Do you actually...
- Have a weekly budget to play and do not ever go over it?
- Not ever get in debt for gambling?
- Have an allocated time for gambling and never exceed it?
- Gamble only socially with friends of relatives?
- Have someone helping you control your gambling?

Answers on questions:

1. Yes, I have a weekly gambling budget.  That's 10 percent of my weekly income after tax.  

2. I try not to borrow money.  Borrowing money in order to gamble is a taboo for me.  

3. Yes.  I play on Thursdays and Fridays from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.  

4. Usually I play alone.  Sometimes in the company of friends or beloved girls.  

5. I rely on self-control.  Sometimes I have to control other players myself.

Pretty much many have their different ways of getting into gambling and what kind of gambling they take, if it is a casino or sportsbook gambling will still be gambling but I think Casino gambling will definitely burn out mostly all the time all of your earnings on your wallet, well, base on my experience and sports betting could become a saving grace for most, I really like Sportsbet's than Casino because I tend to lose more on Casino than with Sport bets, mostly I only have $2.7 USD on my wallet and in sports bets, I can surely increase that $2.7 dollar to $5 in weeks or analyzing and betting for my favorite team or a fighter.

I don't think gambling is something that can be given a budget. because gambling is like a suggestion. if you win you will always feel you can win more, if you lose you need to spend more budget to restore previous losses. Yes it's something that is hard to control. Gambling is more fun if it's just a hobby,not an exaggeration for sure.

The problem is, most of the people who used to play lightly are now playing excessively. It's because they already lose some huge amount of money and they want to get it back. As I read some posts here in this section, people lead to play excessively when they lose their money that came from debt and they wanted to get it back by playing like there is no tomorrow. They better stop themselves before it results in that kind of nightmare or else they will suffer a lot more than they expected.

This is a very basic cycle of gambling, always starting with a short timeline then progressing over a longer period, partly due to the lure of profits, another part starts from taking too much loss and pouring more money to mine back to the profit but the basic idea of the light of tomorrow affects too many problems. Instead of stopping to get out of the gambling siege, the player becomes more disruptive within the limits but this breakout is never good when that is the purpose gambling creates, they want us to follow this thought and end up in them

These businesses wont really boom out if people were to mindful towards their actions when we do talk about finances.Houses would really be making out things just for their

players to prolong on making out some gambling until they do realize that they dont have money left into their pocket for them to play.

Limiting out your gambling time is a must but majority of gamblers do really missed out or fail to do so even if its too basic to hear on.

Many gamblers may be very impulsive and have issues to control their money when playing, but it doesn't mean it's impossible to set a limited budget to play daily/weekly/monthly. It depends on each gambler and how organized his financial life is. What must be done is to break the cycle you mentioned, so there won't be serious negative consequences for the gambler later.
Losses play a big role in gambling, and to try avoiding them desperatly will surely end in deeper losses. So a gambler must get used to them in order to survive on this industry on long run.

This is a powerful trend. Betting plans is actually a good management plan and having a budget before betting would help limit breakdown after a loss.

I prefer it if what is lost is what one can afford to loose on a day to day base. Pretty cool its nice to have a plan and stick to it

And that includes your time, how long you should be staying whether your not yet out of funds or you've won a lot. There's no sense of enjoyment for others if the time will be the basis and limit.
But we have our different satisfaction and plans. So, if you plan to stay for long, you should determine how long you want to manage yourself gambling and what's your plan on it while having the budget with you.

definitely a great point to bring on.
time is a scarce resource, its our most limited and precious asset, better to spend it wisely.

OP even brings up the possibility of taking debt to gamble
one should never do that.

never invest more than what you can afford to loose.

I can't agree more with what you've said. While our time is very limited, it all depends how we'll spend it and we have our time differences and obligations to do things that we have to do. And as for those gamblers that would want to loan money for gambling, they should not put that into option. If there's no money to gamble, they have to wait until their own money comes so there's no problem that they'll experience if they lose.

At that time, it must be respected, it means how long you have to stay in the game during gambling and management is very important because in gambling you don't always feel like running out of money there, there are no limits if there is no management, therefore I think this pattern is a must. applied regularly so that we know that time always wastes big money in gambling but if we win maybe we can be happy but what is possible as long as we continue to win?

I want to lose or win, still, time is important because, for me, asset management in gambling must be properly disciplined so that it doesn't run out because of greed.

You sound like too experienced in gambling but even I am planning many things to cut my gambling after certain hours of play, I never able to fulfill my plans; always I do just breach my own resolutions and then regret what if I have stopped as per my pre-determined plan.

If I would have stopped my gambling as per my planned timing then probably I might be richer by more than 1 or 2 whole bitcoins by this time. Time is money and not wasting it again helps us to remain richer; true as per my own experiences.

Exactly, you accepting the fact that you're going to lose the moment you start gambling technically means that you don't care about your money anymore, that's why somehow we could say that we lose our control towards our money.

Maybe you're right, and I didn't get it what actually that meant.

And later on, when we realized that our money could've been more worthy to lose if we risk it to something else, like in a business or buying a property, so what's gonna happen next is you'll gamble again but not for pleasure, you're gonna play gambling because you wanted to take back your losses which is impossible and yes, you're going to be addicted on it while chasing your losses.

And one important moment: you will never take back your losses with gambling. Only even more losses in long term (or even short term). This is why I'm convinced that gambling can be used only for pleasure.

Maybe because I have no money left over, so I am not active on gambling sites. A few months ago I had been there but out of curiosity. I was quite happy because back then it just followed like a game. Guess multiples with animation. But in the end my money ran out, maybe I can't manage money on a gambling site. So I thought it was for me to gamble for fun, not for work. Fortunately, the money I got from the contest was small.

Basic as it is but many are failing to comply due to the satisfaction that's not being met. And losing also plays the part that prolongs our stay in a casino that makes us want to gamble more even if we've already said that we're going to gamble in a limited time.

Limitation helps us not to fall into addiction and if we care about ourselves, our future, this should be taken and acted seriously otherwise, we end up nothing.
I consider gambling just a pleasure and I'm even to manage just once a week. It is just a practice and makes a habit.
We are in a crisis now, gambling should not be a priority.

[BuNga_cute]

I always limit my time to play gambling, because that is my way to prevent gambling addiction. The thing is I have a friend who is addicted
to gambling and whose life is ruined, I don't want that to happen to me either. Because I know that the longer we gamble, the harder it is
for us to control ourselves. Because if I already play games on the PlayStation, it's hard to stop, because every time I lose, I'm always
curious to win. And it can happen in the world of gambling too, If I do not limit the time I play gambling there is the potential to become addicted.

Yes, smart gamblers can limit stakes, play time, and can control themselves when betting not to become addicts.
because you will forget to stand when sitting and play gambling and it must be controlled and consistent to be able to limit not being too serious when playing because you will be carried away by a game atmosphere that will plunge you into defeat.
if we consider gambling for pleasure we should relax and enjoy it while betting but stay focused, and play when we have the right time in prime condition, have sufficient capital, and play when in leisure and just for fun.

Exactly. An entertainment that pays for itself every now and then, nothing much. But most of the time, you pay for it. It's not a 50/50 game, because they do not make money when you lose money. Your lost money goes to a winner. They make money by not paying your winnings.

Basically  no matter how long you play gambling on each session wont make you addicted to gambling if you can control yourself. I also have a friend who gamble almost every single day but he is not addicted as he can start and stop it anytime anywhere as he wish. Addiction is the time when you cant control yourself, you do not know when to start and when to stop. As long as you know it, you wont be addicted. The same applies for video games such as Playstation. I myself also gambling almost everyday because of some competition, I'm not addicted obviously as I have a limit for myself. Limit for both time and money.

When it comes to time managemen, I have divided my time for the things that I want to do. That is why I have enough time to gamble and also the funds I will gamble is also enough for the time I can spend for gambling. You may gamble many times but if you can control your urge to gamble then you won't get addicted just because you're also a gambler.

Good for you that you have a scheme to manage your time because a lot of people doesn't have that and if they have that, they don't commit that long to do it. I don't find the time to gamble since I am busy and I know that I can't control myself once I am doing it so I am thankful that I am really busy to even play some dice or poker.

Limiting the time to play gambling will always be suggested to all gamblers to help them prevent the addiction. But unfortunately, not many gamblers will do that because once they found the excitement of playing gambling, they will forget about limitations and play longer than usual.

We might see many friends who are playing gambling finally become addicting to gambling and we can not do something for them because they do not want to get help from us. But we can at least try to give something that may be worth it for them and we can always warn them about the danger of playing gambling for some time.
