Do you limit your gambling time?

[justdimin]

Gambling doesn't hook me that easilly though I have to be quite alert with phone and social media, if I'm not disciplined I could spend hours on the screen...

Usually most gamblers getting hooked because of long lasting boredom so if you are having any other alternative entertaining resources then the possibility of getting into gambling screen for more hours will get reduced significantly. People are getting stuck with gambling because of they are finding it interesting; if you are deviating your focus into something else then you can escape from gambling very easily.

When we are conscious about having limit on of our each of entertainment things, then we can easily limit everything given that we need to have multiple entertaining resources.

Just the same with gambling, doing all the necessarry preparation mostly with your emotions are vey important. If you know how to control the chances of losing huge amount of money is slim, remember that the risk is high so never to follow your emotions each time you play.

Limit and never to exceed with your plan budget, both gambling and trading will go smoothly if you plan ahead of time. The amount of stake should always refer to your limitations, money that you can afford to lose is what you need to use when you engage yourself either with gambling or investing thru trading.

That will need practice and time before we can manage our emotions and all the things because even the veterans also need time to do that. When we can control ourselves, we can prevent losing a huge amount of money because losing big money will not be right.

The important thing that we must remember is only to use the money we can afford to lose and never break that limitation because that can be the way for you to lose all of the money. It will help you more if you can control yourself thru gambling.

Controlling your emotions takes a long time to acheived, practice and more on limiting your stay inside the gambling house, doing this from time to time will lessen our desire to keep pushing for more, Most of the time those who lose a lot are people who keeps trying to win in a much quicker ways.

But for most experienced gamblers who already surpassed this kind of situations, they are well organized and they know their limitations, they know when to stop and chill out whether they win or lose they are good and aiming for the next day of try.

There's no rushing as house got a huge bankroll, either accept slight portions or keep aiming to have a big one and lose your bankroll..

That is a very typical fallacy which I also observed in real life. People cross off numbers in roulette that just showed up believing that only because they just showed up, they can't show up again anytime soon.

Everyone with basic knowledge in statistics knows that if the 30 shows up this round, the probability that it shows up next round is the same as long as the events are considered to be independent.

Funny how they cross off these numbers while it makes no sense. Same with red and black whereas that is kind of a dependent event if you put your money on black and red shows up 15 times in a row. That probability is extremely low, but if it happens you are most likely broke.

Well, they are taking into account the past records, and basing off the possibilities of what they could based on those. It isn't necessarily wrong, but I think it was a misplaced notion, especially in gambling where all chances are reset to zero when a new game starts. Still, with that, they aren't able to find anything to base their bets upon, and betting solely based on luck at times isn't really what they want, so they instead base it on past numbers that showed up. It is still a valid statistic, just that it's in no way proof that the same number would pop up. They probably just use it solely for increasing their confidence levels with regards to their bet.

It is absolutely completely totally wrong, those are independent events unless you bet that a number comes twice in a row, but that is totally different from betting on a number in round 2 even if that number showed up in round 1. If in round 1 the number 5 in roulette showed up, what is the probability that the number 5 shows up in round 2? The same, exactly: 1/36. If you say that you bet on the 5 showing up 2 rounds in a row, the probability is 1/36 * 1/36.

Even if controlling emotions takes a long time to achieve, a gambler needs to learn it. Otherwise, they will not have something that will help them enjoy gambling games instead of losing money. There is no other way to win more quickly because gambling games need luck and not many of them will get their luck comes to them at the right time.

Yes, the experienced gamblers will always control themselves in gambling, they will play gambling like other gamblers but the difference is they know that gambling is just a way to have fun, and they do not have to try hard if they do not see the chance to win.

Everything is true, but it isn't a pleasure. It is a discomfort of feeling emptied. The addiction is not a result of winning, but the hope of recovering the losses. Myself an addicted gambler doesn't go into gambling to win big, but to recover what I've lost. The mind always say, if I recover all the spending I can be debt free. This is the major thing that runs in my mind when I get into gambling. Same as this different users will have something associated that keeps them to gamble with the hope of recovering their losses and lost happiness.

This is very common, once people make the realization of how much money they have lost over the years they have a desire to get it back, this is a bad idea because as we know the casinos have an edge over the player, if you think you are getting addicted to gambling then the best thing to do is to stop immediately and just accept your losses, taking a path different than that one will only make things even harder for the player as he losses even more money in the process of trying to get it back.

If you don't expect to win big at gambling, then you can't recover what you've lost. Both are the same thing I think, because when gambling has a high target like that at least we will gamble under pressure which will certainly disturb your mind. So, just let the previous events slip by, because if we still want to gamble we just have to enjoy it and let go of it when betting it is very possible that in the end you may unconsciously recover what you have lost.

There are also other gamblers that whenever they calculate the amount of money they've dedicated and lost on it, they'll feel bad and regretting.

As the usual goes, we're always like that but we also happen to compute how much we've won and that making us proud.

There's a time to make predictions, and a time to adjust your views based on reality.
Gambling is a high-stakes, high-stress pursuit. The failure to realize how closely your actions match your beliefs often leads to sudden and massive failures. And it's possible that, no matter how well-meaning or diligent they believe they are, some gamblers out there have destroyed their lives due to gambling addiction.

For many people, gambling can be both an exhilarating and addictive activity. For others, there is something very different about gambling: a compulsion that just won't stop. The natural impulse of people with compulsive gambling addiction is to keep playing even when they know they're about to lose, and even when they're about to go broke.

I limit my gambling time after the lockdown of COVID-19, during the lockdown I gamble most of the time to make myself relax as there was no physical job, but after the lockdown, I have to reduce the time I gamble to 1 hour every day and that is after the close of work.

Wow. That's a great improvement from most of the time to 1 hour a day. It means there is no impossible if you willing to change. I believed gambling addiction is real. If you think you getting addicted in gambling, think to save yourself and remember your priorities. There is no one who can save and help our selves but us also us. If we let ourselves immerse in gambling, we are the one who will suffer from it.

Not all would really be having that kind of self control because it do matters on someones awareness and being mindful on the situation where they do picture out if is it time to stop or would tend to continue.

Since not all people are willing to stop when they are losing due to those common reasons like chasing losses or does want for more profits.Its good that you are fully aware with your own self

and towards your actions and not all does have that kind of self awareness and rather do go proceed even if they do know that it would really be harmful for them.

I have a family, two jobs and no gambling addiction ... I think the answer is obvious 
In general, to some extent, I envy those who can afford to "break away" from the real world and spend time as they want (in gambling or in an ordinary entertaining game or just watching TV series).

What do you mean by the answer is obvious? If you have enough free time to come here to read and post messages about gambling topics, you have necessarily enough free time to gamble. How much time do you spend to gamble per week precisely? You could easily increase this amount of time by reading less threads and articles about gambling and practicing more.

Why cant you?

Its impossible that you cant even just give yourself an hour for some relaxation and you've decide to go full time on dealing with priorities.
Every person does need some time to relax and doesnt stress out yourself too much because it wont really be giving a good effect for you in long time.

Limitation on everything is a must or recommended but doesnt mean that you wouldnt really touch it just because of those addiction probabilities.
You can play if you do can because playing gambling can still be possible in a very short span of time.

Iam super lucky in that I find I move on naturally, not sure I could handle getting caught up in something because I dont feel you'd be 100% stay true to any strategy of trying to profit or gain from your time spent gambling any particular game.    Its also arguable I might move on too quickly from a game and not go long enough to get a proper streak but I have no limit except my patience and concentration in general.   Obviously real life can just place limits of time available also and its best to just accept that as a natural limit also I think, it is a leisure past time primarily.

That's good with you to move on naturally. For me it is the scenario that decides the spending time. If I'm into lucky streak I keep on wagering at specific time interval. This is totally wrong, because I loss in between and the loss makes me spend rest of the day developing strategies to recover the loss. I've spent complete day on such process of trying to recover.

It is not bad to gamble as long as you have money and time. I think you do not have a problem that you might ran out of money since during lockdown, it is hard to earn money. On the other hand the important thing is you have ways to ease boredom during lockdown because many people suffer from depression through it. But it is a good thing that you've make an adjustment on your gambling time because you prioritize your job. Gambling is like a drugs if you become attached to it but you can control yourself. I think you're mature enough to be able to determine what must be done first.

I am sure at some point you may turn as an example and people will start envy against you if you are ready to put efforts. I'm not seeing limiting your gambling is that much big task. I agree it is difficult for anyone in the beginning but when you are having strong willpower, it will slowly become a practice. Nothing will possible until you show interest. Honestly I am envy on you as you are having 2 jobs; somehow it is my dream still I am not yet achieved that.

Every person does need some time to relax and doesnt stress out yourself too much because it wont really be giving a good effect for you in long time.

That is reasonable. Anything beyond excess is good for nothing. Whether gambling is for entertainment or for money making, still we must have limit.

That's totally wrong because that's considered as chasing your loss which possible it will I guess wipe out all your money in just 1 day because of trying to recover it with different strategies. For me, I have a straight winning streak, I will continue gambling and separate my initial capital and gamble only with my profit, if that will lose, I will stop and come back in another day when there's no chasing attempt on my mind.

I have noticed that once we've got a loss, in our mind always chasing and try to recover it, it's better to have a break and come back when you are ready again.

That's normal, our species is a possessive one so whenever something is lost to us, we few something somber or sad that we want to get it back, if you are feeling this it is a normal thing to happen, what your action towards it will be the difference maker.
