Do you limit your gambling time?

[Rengga Jati]

When someone consider that they need to schedule their time for gambling as well then they are some kind of addiction to it, no one should ever make it as daily habit

Did you read Roidz's comment above? I suspect you just reply without reading. 
He said that he only gambles on holiday. It means he doesn't gamble every day. So, you cannot judge what he did as a daily habit.
Do you still assume it is an addict? 

Make a schedule for your gambling isn't a kind of addiction. Instead, it is the way to avoid addiction. You should know what is the difference between addiction and discipline. Once you become an addict, you will play at any time, without limitation.

Glad to see majority of community members have their gambling activities under wraps and control. Even as a gambler, I do have limits which keeps me on track as too much of anything is bad. So I tend to stay within those limits. I have a gambling budget and a progressive plan that sees this budget grow overtime as I add to it on a weekly basis then I fund my other activities like trading cryptos, leverages and even tryout defi farming on dexes. One thing I would never do is to take a loan or going into debt just to satisfy a gambling addiction. Gambling is a mix of fun and business for me and I don't let one or the other become too much.

Simple shows out for a certain user who doesnt really read off on whats written in op and they do directly make out some comments or reactions which is way too far off on whats been discussed.
This proves out that lots or certain people do directly post on just basing on the topic title. 

Going back on the topic about limiting yourself on gambling time then its a must thing because this doesnt only talks about limiting your fund expense or been used or waste up but also

you are trying to get rid or avoiding yourself on getting addicted with gambling because the more you do engage then the higher the risk on getting addicted with it
So its just right that you should be aware into your actions.

I will say it's also an addiction when someone thinks that it is must-add gambling as well into their schedule, probably the earliest stage if you ask me. gambling with time limitation is a kind of discipline where there is no disagreement but my argument is when someone considers that gambling is also a must thing in there to do list for the holidays or any day then it should be avoided though.

Everyone has their own method for dealing with gambling addiction. Gambling can become addictive, when you begin to think that it's too much of a hassle to stop, so having this willpower can do a lot for your mind and your mood. When you learn to control these urges, it will be much easier to stop gambling.

The next step of your process should be to focus on setting some time limits and goals for your gambling. Be reasonable about how much you are going to play and try not to play more than you can afford to lose. Having a limit helps to manage your risk and keep your integrity intact.

It's becoming an addiction when you add it on your daily schedule, if you're craving to gamble daily and can't do without skipping a day, you are pretty much addicted. I agree on the time limitation but I would also add a budget/money limitation. You can easily lose a few hundred bucks within minutes, a budget allocation sounds more appropriate to me.

I personally have never gambled traditional or offline poker but even so, when I realized there were the best times to gamble online poker then I started limiting my time for gambling poker. Indeed, things like this are difficult to realize at first but when we get to know more about the characteristics and cards that are obtained, then at least we will get the best times to start playing and when to stop, at least so I can limit the time to bet on poker.

I have the same problem as you, if I don't limit my time for gambling each week I would spend way to much time in online casinos. There are so many great games like dice, poker, black jack or just roulette. But if I don't give me a limit each week how much time I can gamble, I would gamble every evening for hours probably. I usually try to only play 1-2 nights a week poker and another night for other casinos games. The problem when playing tournaments in poker is that we don't know how long we will survive, it could happen we get knocked out in 30 minutes, or in 3 hours.

The sad thing is that it is incredibly easy to give yourself a time limit of how much you can gamble each week, you could easily set up your smartphone to sound an alarm after the designated time and then you could stop immediately then you keep track of how much time you gambled by writing it in a notebook and then you stop gambling that week when you have reached the time you have given to yourself to gamble, it is so easy and yet I see many people losing track of their time when they gamble, and while understandable as we tend to lose track of time when we are having fun, at the same time it is inexcusable.

It is very important to keep ourselves on track and in control as we gamble.

We know the consequences and how hard it will hit us if we're going to neglect the negative effects of it. But as soon as we're able to understand what it can do to us, we're becoming careful.

And the experience of others have helped too because we don't want to happen what happened to them.

that's why we must Keep our funds updated and has limitation , best to allocate amount even before we play.

The question is do gamblers really knows the consequences ? or most of them only realized after losing.

And the experience of others have helped too because we don't want to happen what happened to them.

do you really do? lol even millions of gamblers tells their stupid stories yet people continues to become addicted because instead of learning they are more interested in beating the house.

I am afraid if that is happening, that is because they do not have control over gambling so it makes them lose their money and in the end, they become addicted to gambling. I am sure if they have control, nothing to be worry and they can playing gambling anytime they want. The problem is that playing gambling can attract them to go deeper into the gambling games and make them forget to take care of their money instead of still using the other money to gambling. Those things need our concern so we do not become like them.

still that calls to be Self controlling , dedication and perseverance .

Budgeting your funds, if you have extra 50 bucks for the week then allocate that for that chance and also have plans on how much you can get to stand up.

if you plan for x5 that is more than enough but tolerable and higher than that is greedy.

When someone consider that they need to schedule their time for gambling as well then they are some kind of addiction to it, no one should ever make it as daily habit even though if they are having time limit because over time the addiction will increase and increase and will result into severe kind of addiction.

On the other hand when someone gambles occasionally they need to have a time limit so they can avoid getting exhausted.

When you have family, work, friends and some other activities, one way or another you will plan them all. This does not mean that you have some kind of addiction. In fact, this question is relevant only for a small number of people (who have an almost unlimited amount of free time), most people live in a tight schedule and a constant lack of time.

Correct.

Managing your time doesn't mean you're addicted on it, in fact you're very far from it because gambling addicts always prioritize gambling above all else, instead of being productive, they will just spend most of their time on gambling throwing away their money every single day, that's the real addiction. Time management is always important to boost yourself on doing the things you need to do to feed yourself or your family every day.

You have other channels to spend your time, it's far better than using it all with your gambling activities. If you do know how to balance your time you simply avoiding yourself into any addictions.

Anyone who have a good control from both time and bankroll managements mostly enjoy the benefits of their gambling participation,

but to those who overspend time around gambling, they also bring a huge amount of money to lose out with their gambling activities.

Sure. By the way, maybe this is why gambling addiction (like any other) has a certain appeal - they seem to erase all other worries of a person and he has only one goal - to gamble, gamble and gamble. This is a pretty strong drug and it is not surprising that in order to quit it you have to switch to another addiction or religion or something else dubious.

adding to OP
not only gambling but we should limit time to all really addictive behavior like gambling, videogames, cocaine... I mean... you know what I mean.

organizing schedules and being disciplined helps a lot

^ Definitely right, it should be well organized so that no one will interrupt you while you are gambling because you know that it is your free time not during office hours. Organizing and limiting your time is an act of self-discipline as well. In this case, you can avoid being addictive behavior because you know your limitations. However, you can do all of those if you will put all your activities in a small calendar which is there is a date and activity to set. So this is very important to us and not should be ignored.

It does.

Every activity that's being done too much is going to cause addiction and that's why no bias if it's only in gambling but as well as other activities that can make someone addicted to it.

Do it moderately and with control, I agree that be disciplined at most times.

[Woodie]

I never believed in giving yourself some timeout off gambling  not until  I had over 10 betslips all losing *favourite teams inclusive**,which was enough to tell me am over gambling because sport  betting such isn't common for me.

For video games and casino  it is possible to schedule your games but for sport betting its a little different but am sure something can be worked out.

[Lucasgabd]

many times simply "being disciplined" is easier said than done.

to limit the access to addicting behavior probably two usefull ways are:
- using and alarm or timer (so you set a right time to do the acitivity)
- limiting bankroll available

do you see other possibilities?

[Altryist]

Once I determined for myself that when I make only a few bets a week, or a month, the results are much better than when I made a lot of bets in the same period of time and often lost. Because I had to study a lot of information, analyze a lot of matches and I got tired and made more mistakes.
