Do you limit your gambling time?

[Saint-loup]

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.

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.

Again you are criticizing gamblers and gambling...   I'm sorry but I don't understand why you are wasting your time posting about gambling and why you are posting in the gambling section if you don't like gambling?   What is your goal in doing that?
Moreover I'm sorry but I don't understand what is the point of being healthy if you don't do anything pleasant in your life. Having a longer but sad life is not what everybody is looking for.

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 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.

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.

But still, it is not easy to become a great bettor as we need to learn many things and we also need to have control over ourselves because we see that many people losing their control when they win or lose. Maybe we need to have many sources that will give us more information to have or make an analysis related to the current match. It will need time for us to have high skills in betting sports and we need to improve ourselves to have better control than before.

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.

This is very common which is why some feel they are being cheated when they gamble with important sums of money when in reality what is happening is that when you bet with an amount of money that it is small then you do not really care too much about your losses as your capital can absorb them but when you bet with a significant amount of money and you lose that money then you are not happy about it and suddenly some players begin to think they were cheated when that is not the case.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

I'am gambling in free time and using unused money or money that i am prepared for gambling which not effect in my economic seriously . knowing no certainity in gambling so just gambling for fun sometime it can become huge profit when fortune comes or just lose it.

[ShowOff]

I'am gambling in free time and using unused money or money that i am prepared for gambling which not effect in my economic seriously . knowing no certainity in gambling so just gambling for fun sometime it can become huge profit when fortune comes or just lose it.

In fact, that's what everyone advises every gambler. Make gambling just for fun and don't make gambling the main place to earn income. Limiting money and time to gamble is a form of self-control and finance in gambling and in my opinion this is the best way not to get into trouble with gambler's finance and psychology. Indeed, not everyone make gambling a place to find pleasure because there are still some people who gamble to earn an income.

It's just a matter of how big you are using to gamble, spare money that not much to lose are easily forgotten. While if you use  larger amount of money then you lose, whatever types of gambling you still have that feeling that you've been rigged.

The very importance of having a limited budget and time for your gambling activities, it helps you to continue enjoying your participation and allow you not to overspent your money with this kind of vices.

Any amount of money is always your responsibilities, be wise enough to seek for enjoyment, but avoid getting greed and addicted.

That's a classic gambling psychology. If we lose we tend to doubt the gambling website and if we win we throw in more money or keep gambling in greed.
Eventually we lose and start trying our luck again and again. We keep losing the money since the house edge is always on their side.

that!
in the end we're not so rational.
Have you ever read  Dan Arielly? there's a really nice book about the subject:
Predictably Irrational

We often have the tendency to think we will keep winning once we are winning
something simmilar happens on the markets as well.

In a way I can understand why people think like this but they need to be smarter than that, we need to accept the reality that most of the time we are going to lose to the casino when it comes to a session in particular, but when it comes to the long term unless we are incredibly lucky or we play a game of skill then it is almost impossible to beat the casino, and that is fine because that is something that we should have known from the very beginning and the one that does not is an irresponsible gambler.

[lixer]

when it comes to the long term unless we are incredibly lucky or we play a game of skill then it is almost impossible to beat the casino, and that is fine because that is something that we should have known from the very beginning and the one that does not is an irresponsible gambler.

But my question is, why you should gamble even after well aware of what is going to happen in the end? Do not answer like for entertainment purposes, because I am having 100s of other methods to have fun for zero costs. So in my opinion, just being aware of what is going to happen in the end of the day, will not make you as a responsible gambler; moreover I do see if you gamble then you are perfect suitable to call as a irresponsible persons even you win for a day because one or other you will lose more than what you won in your entire life. That's gambling.

There will be no need to worry on limiting gambling when we not at all gamble, right? Quit gambling completely and then you will start progressing in your life in all means.

Yup.

Even you're gifted with talent and skill in the game that you've chosen to gamble and even if you're pursuing and putting much time on it, there's no way to beat the casino.

You can win but there will be the time for you to see the losses but you can mitigate it through your skill and experience.

Talent and skill would only be applicable into card games which i do really believe on that since there are gamblers who do actually able to sustain themselves on longer runs which is understandable
since these card games does really rely on strategy and of course with some luck unlike on luck based type of games where  you do think that you can beat out the system then even in our
dreams these things wont be possible this is why we shouldnt really force ourselves to believe on such thing to exist because this will be the reason that you would be fucking
up yourself and affect your finances if you do desperately push on what you do believe.

Because that's how the brain works and that's inevitable. It knows that in the end, 99% of the times (depending on HE) you're gonna end up losing everything but until the vary last dime it'll force you to play.
Dopamine, that's the real issue!

Talent and skill in all sort of games, we can have it.

Including the decision making and that's what I meant in generalization.

Again, I think you are getting me wrong. What I criticize is overspending of time or money on gambling, not gambling itself. And what I'm saying in my posts I'm saying it to myself as well because I am a gambler too, and at some periods of my life, I used to spend more than I should on gambling, especially time. Once I lost around $150 on dice within 30 minutes. Trust me it was huge money for me back then, and even today it's far from what I can easily afford to lose. It wasn't a deposit, I won the money through various promotions, but still.

Moreover, I'm sorry but I don't understand what is the point of being healthy if you don't do anything pleasant in your life. Having a longer but sad life is not what everybody is looking for.

Being healthy doesn't mean having a longer life. It means having better life right now.

This is why having a multiple options on gambling site can be a good strategy as well, if you’re losing on your first gambling site then you can play on the second site where your luck is working. Casinos will always be a winner here, you might win some but someone is losing big time in gambling and thats where the money came from. We should have a limit on everything, I can’t gamble the whole day because my resources wont allow that, I just gamble for at least 8hrs every week.

yes, how one use their life is much more important than how long they live
did you know that Bruce Lee died at age of 32?
but still he left an important legacy for the world and is recognized until this day...

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?

1. Yes I have a weekly budget for gambling with is a fixed amount of money which I can afford lose, once I lost the bet I move on till another time.

2. I am much disciplined in my gambling such that I wouldn't allow emotion to overshadow me when I lost a bet such that would be indebted.

3. I play soccer bet thus mostly on Fridays before the weekend matches and occasionally on Mondays whenever there is midweek UCL matches

4. No. I don't involve relatives excepts friends who are soccer analyst we predict matches based on each team analysis.

5. I never involve anyone in gambling I only check online for a more thorough analysis of matches ahead.

- I have a weekly budget - Half of my pot
- I'm never in debt for gambling, I use part of my earnings from my Signature campaign reward
- No cemented gambling time, its mostly at the weekends unless I see something really favourable during the week which is rare
- Gambling alone, I dont gamble with any friends or family
- Controling my own gambling, as per  above points.

-Random basis because there are days which I can save up and some doesn't have
-Sometimes in my friends but those immediately been repaid
-Random times because not all the time I do have vacant to play
-Better to go solo because im bit a shy type of person
-No, because im not that much an addicted one.
