Do you limit your gambling time?

[hulla]

Too much ‘genius’ opinions on this topic. Maybe it’s time for some real proofs. Does anyone want to make a journey of 1 month with limiting their time allocating for gambling and the next month without? That would be fun.

If you have control, you can try it and make your own journey of 1 month, but if you do not have good control, I suggest you do not try that because you can lose your money anytime.

I prefer to hold my bitcoin and altcoins this time because I see a chance for me to sell at the next high price of bitcoin and altcoins, so that means I can profit from trading. I can play gambling on other days and not today as I want to make money before I am late.

If you have that good balance and you really know how to limit yourself, that journey might be fun, whatever the result may be you acan easily take it and move forward.

But if you don't have that personalities, it's really tough and dangerous as you can get addicted and completely lose all your money.

The fun won't be there if you lose all your savings, best to anticipate things befor you push forward.

Correct and now with all the choices you have and digital cash it is even easier to lose control. Deposits are just simple and gambling with crypto is even more addictive as you don't physically hold anything in your hands that you would have to give away. It means it is less painful for that moment to lose that money and much easier to deposit again.

The ease of using cryptocurrency shouldn't be an excuse to use as something that leads to a gambling addiction but I don't if you understand that gambling is not for everybody and this is the fact a lot of people in the gambling community don't want to face because every gambler that can control his buzz is already addicted before the game start.

True but you might be more cautious when you have to spend cash instead of cryptocurrencies. I can imagine that some people have a different relation to their crypto than they would have to their cash or even credit card. Addictions always suck no matter what type of addiction it is. Availability and accessibility is an issue often times.

Just as you said, gambling addiction will always suck but being cautious in gambling in other to prevent addiction doesn't have to do with the use of fiat currency in gambling, and the gambling addiction prevention answer is still the same, having control over one's buzz through the habit of putting one's buzz in check during each and every gambling game.

My gambling comes down to betting on football games... It's mostly the games I'm interested in... I bet for fun (to confirm my predictions), I have no goal to earn money... That's why I don't spend much time doing it and I am not addicted to gambling...

At least that's true because when you just want to see how accurate the predictions you have in betting, at least you don't have to spend a lot of money on betting. But, if the results are always good then I think there is nothing wrong for you to bet with higher money, because even though it's just for fun but if your predictions are always good and correct, then I think increasing the bet amount will be a good idea. Because then you will make your fun more profitable, right.

I think all gamblers do gambling just because they try and slowly end up becoming addiction about doing it, I think there is nothing wrong for us to avoid this addiction by not making gambling too much an arena for fun and if you want to guess  score a better with nominal the small one even if you lose will certainly not affect your family's finances but if you continue to raise the bet when you win, of course it will be very risky, to be honest when our confidence increases because we are always lucky to win, of course at any time we will be tempted to betting everything on gambling and I'm sure when that happens, our luck will disappear and in the end we will lose everything we have.

You may not have the goal to earn money with your bets but that's a given reason why most of us are having fun and enjoying gambling. You may say that you have no goal to earn but you don't also want to keep on losing because it's very frustrating. Next to that reason is the potential to double or at least get some profit with our bets. But since the main topic is all about time in gambling, you are doing it correctly that you don't spend your time that much and just leaving your bets and checks it once the match is done and you have no problem whether your bet won or not.

curious here
do you keep track of your wins and loses over time and check track record?
do you usually invest the same amounts or scale it and change it over time?

always nice to learn more about people's habits.

Honestly I think most people are just ilke that. Playing only small amounts to make the games a bit more fun and  feel somehow recognised for knowing how to predict better. I am asking more about those who are queite the opposite, and might have some difficulties controlling.

Personally, if I bet is mostly socially, so there is little risk of overreaching. Also, I play only with friends so we do not let it go too far on regards of keeping our social peace if you know what I mean.

If you are going to ask me, I do have limitations when I try to gamble. I play poker so definitely I can limit the time based on my goal at the time. Imagine if you do not have goals and limits, then it will be a recipe for disaster on the part of the gambler since there will be nothing that will control him in his play. We need goals so that a goal was reached then it would time to back down, leave the table and then go home. No goal, then it will be bad. Don't be an impatient person, that is why patience is a virtue.

[Silberman]

Honestly I had a plan to just limit my gambling time per day, but I never have done it. Sometimes I'm playing more than half day. As what I can remember, there was a time that I played ~20 hours because I'm eager to get some of my money back. There are time that it is positive, but sadly there are also times that it isn't.

As long as you can afford it is fine but without a doubt playing for 20 hours straight in a single day is a lot of time, quite honestly I am a very moderate gambler and since I like to make sports bets on some soccer matches then that means my small bet allows me to be even more excited about the games, it could be argued that I am gambling for 2 hours but taking into account that it is done in something that I would have watched anyway the amount of time I gamble is way lower than that as it only takes a few minutes to place your bet.

If you consider gambling as trading, there are still ways for you to make money. Yet, I do not encourage that activity because not many of you capable to limit your time and money so as not to fail in the addicted trap. For example, just like you say, we can make a few sport bet in a day (or a week if you do not like to involve with many games) and we only comeback to see the results. Make a spreadsheet of winning and losing matches with algorithm to manage your funds. With deep analysis, being profitable in sport betting is possible. The same method can be used with poker. Other games (such as dice or crash) do not provide the same winning percentage because of the higher house edge and less positive outcome

I totally agree with your opinion `` if we spend our time at the gambling place, we will incur huge losses ''
try to learn to stop wasting time gambling ,, because if we don't stop you will end up taking a huge loss ''

Trying to mind off about trading when you do gamble it something that shouldnt really be collaborated or lets say that it shouldnt really be combined.
Gambling is supposed to be for entertainment and minding off about investment would really just boggled up your mind so better to focus on what
you are really just aiming for but if you do have this kind of mindset then its your choice.Just be mindful on what you are
asking for.

Better never gambling anymore not chance to win and waste your time than loss much money if keep staying with gambling, check how many people loss their much money after know with gambling and not good way for earn money. I left gambling more than two months and never see anymore with gambling site, now I get more profit my earning from trading.

That's false, why he wouldn't have any chance to win? If he's lucky he can quite easily make money. Moreover I don't understand why you are still posting in the gambling section if you think gambling is just a waste of time and money? I hope you are not spamming for bounties... 

I think what he was trying to say is that the chances of winning in gambling is low compare to chances of losing, which is true, and staying out of it is his choice, his opinion, so there's nothing wrong with that I guess. Our luck will not always be on our favor in everything that we do in our lives, barely relying on that in gambling is a complete wasting of money in my opinion since not all of the gambling games are based on luck.

Strategies are still important to increase your chances of winning and never always let your greed take over you. Be a responsible gambler and know your limits.

Cheers!

Yes when you gamble chances to lose are usually lower than chances to win because of the house edge at casino games and the vigorish at bookmakers, but this gap is generally lower than 10% and even lower than 5%. It means at a 50/50 game like heads or tails, 55% of the gamblers will lose money and pay the winners and the house but 45% will win... Being in the 45% luckier gambler doesn't sound unrealistic.

Analyzing bets for a period is a good idea, but few people do it. But this should be done if there is a goal to make money from gambling. I don’t devote much time to gambling because for me it’s like entertainment. Although there are times when I manage to win good streaks, I get very upset when I lose. And that's why I can't get too involved in gambling, when I'm upset I make a lot of mistakes and lose money.

[Nrcewker]

It depends on which I am limiting my time. Sometimes I am limiting my time when I am betting just to enjoy and to have fun with the game but when it is in a serious mode just like in poker, I don't have any limits especially in time because in poker the impatience are the one who losses very quick so you must wait your turn in which you are getting a good cards every turn. In terms of money, you must just limit on the amount of money that you've afford to lose because if you cannot do that then probably you will be burried in debt.

So you basically saying, it's just time that prevents you from gambling ? I mean what about money ? It plays the most important thing in gambling.
If you dont have enough money then nothing can be done and no profits to be won.
If you listen to me then it's better not do gambling, as it will help you to prevent you from becoming bankrupt.
Yes it can be better if you have immense knowledge on sportsbet, then you can use intelligence and can place a bet. But there will be still a little chance of loss.
Again as we know Gambling is all about risk, so if you can take risk then can surely try gambling and limit your time.

Yes I think that is a good thinking that gambling is not a good source of income nor becoming rich in gambling. Like you, I just turn to gambling when I want to have fun. On the other hand, having interest only in football also helps you limit your time because if there will be no football game, then you will not gamble on a particular day or week or month. We should have to control our self to it because addiction becomes no good at all. Instead of spending time in gambling, it is better to spend time in some other important things.

I don't know but gambling is kind a tricky, if you'll bet small amount of money just to see if your prediction is almost accurate, you'll win. But if you'll take it seriously like betting a large amount of money, you'll lose, which is pretty annoying. That is the reason why I only spend my spare money in gambling if ever I wanted to play gambling, because gambling isn't the one for me, I admitted that for a very long time ago that's why I didn't get addicted to it.

This is how I sometimes feel when I gamble. When you bet small, you're winning but when you start betting higher amount, it seems the world is against you. But I know, it is just a coincidence. Not addicted here also. I just gamble from time to time, to pass the time or if I have extra money. So there's nothing to worry about the limit of my gambling time as I can still control myself when to stop, that is usually when my extra funds are already depleted.

Most of gamblers are the ones who started their gambling only on spare time. If you are not conscious enough then you may get addicted like most others. I mean everyone feels like gambling is only for rich or easy-money seekers but over the time, they will find themselves engaging in gambling all the day long.

there's nothing to worry about the limit of my gambling time as I can still control myself when to stop, that is usually when my extra funds are already depleted.

As long as you will not be arranging extra funds for your gambling, you may escape.

Having control on our mind and emotions will be the key. Better develop any other strong hobbies or fall in love because only then you can completely forget gambling and you may get chances to save those extra funds for your better future.

I think it is better to bet with small money than large money because the risk of losing will always be there. No matter if we have an accurate analysis, we can not always win because the situations in the games will not work as we want. And if we lose in that game, we do not lose too big money and can use the other money to bet on the other game in the next few days. Maybe that will prevent the big loss of money and prevent the addiction we can get if we are still betting.

I agree with you and that includes playing with self-control and not making big, ego-following bets that could harm yourself when you lose.
Better to bet small amounts and still apply accurate analysis that way you bet for pleasure and test your quality in betting.
and if your bet does not live up to expectations it will be a lesson that must be corrected, if you continue to do so I am sure that in this way you will become a great bettor.

Again as we know Gambling is all about risk, so if you can take risk then can surely try gambling and limit your time.

Sometimes I'm checking stats on people posting in chatbox about their "big wins" of $0.5, and what's interesting is that pretty often I can see tens or even hundreds BTC wagered by them, which means they manage to play responsibly, never risk big money compared to their bankroll, and that it's rather their precious time is what they are losing to gambling. I don't think losing time is nothing. Time is money. Time is health if spent on preparing healthy food, or hiking, or exercising.

Limiting our gambling time is as important as limiting our daily bankroll.
