Do you limit your gambling time?

[Bitinity]

2. I dont have any debts not even in my current finance situation.I dont like to be boggled with that kind of problem.

Well Only addicted gambler has this issue i believe .

No, in fact not only addicted gambler who has this issue. Even a newbie gambler or someone who started to use gambling as a way to earn money can be down into this issue.

4. Depends because there are sometimes that friends do really need to hang out

But try to avoid friends that loves to gambler so there is no bad influence in the future.

Friends is friends, no matter what they loves (even drugs), they are still your friend. If you are a good friend, you wont avoid them just because they loves gambling. Bad influence? You are responsible for yourself, even if you lives in a place where 99% people loves gambling, you wont be affected. It is even better if you can advise your friends to have more control in gambling instead of avoiding them. That's what is called by good friends.

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?

- It's very important to not go over your limit, if you often go to your limit, then it means you are not in control of what you are doing
- Not even crossed my mind it's too risky and too dangerous, only compulsive gambler will do such a thing
- You can exceed the number of hours but never the amount of money you allocated, sometimes you are winning and you want the excitement to extent.

Easily said than done (the last part)

As long as you're playing gambling, with no time limit but has a limit on the amount of money you can afford to lose, there's still a possibility that you could go beyond your budget limit because sometimes your ego and pride dictates you to do so, especially if your excitement on winning goes far making you believe you could actually defeat the house, but you can't.

And the unpredicted situations comes next, mostly gambling addiction and you'd go berserk just to get what you've lost in gambling.

I'm limiting myself very much lately both because I am working like a maniac and also since I'm focusing only on sport; I'm basically betting only on the major European leagues. I miss playing dice a lot but I don't have time to concentrate on that at the moment,

Dice is really a time consuming, but sports betting does not demand a lot of time, so just suit your current schedule, you don't have to loss the fun in gambling even if you are already busy now.  ... coming from sports bettor.

If you are focusing with such event it's more easy and not a time consuming for you, you can still enjoy your gambling even on your busy days.

Picking the game and the kind of events that you wanted to bet won't take you long, afterwards you can just
simply leave it and wait for the outcome.

And yes, coming from one of the active sports bettor the always there even sometimes you really encounter
unlikely results, but that's it, shit happened you can't avoid that.

It’s quite hard to limit gambling if were not busy, there were times I opted not to play but then I still play since there were some free time. So as much as possible I write activities to do to focus myself in other things other than gambling, I somestime put big mark of check whenever I finish a task to keep me stay away in gambling especially if I have other things to do, others do schedule their gambling but it doesnt work well with me especially if Im winning.

[ChiBitCTy]

For me personally gambling has always been a "just for fun" type thing.  I love to gable and have been doing so as long as I can remember, but for me it's never turned it to anything more than just a little bit of fun here and there.  I do however know how easy it is to get addicted to things and I never take for granted how easy it's been for me to not go overboard with gambling..and I certainly wish the best for the those struggling with the addiction.

That's true, especially now with the pandemic and the quarantine measures, we have plenty of leisure time, thus it's easy to get tempted and start gambling, or spend a lot more time than you usually would. I try to keep myself from not spending more than a couple of minutes each 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?

Yes, I gamble with an budget. I usually set aside between 50 and 100 bucks per month for gambling, and if I manage to win some money I increase my budget a little for the next month. Usually I cash out with cryptos half of my larger winnings and leave the rest as new bankroll. Sometimes I exceed my limit and then I use a little bit more from my bankroll, but I try to not use borrowed money for gambling. I once asked a friend for 100 Euros in an casino to play more Roulette, in the end I lost it all and felt quite bad for losing his money. So now I try to avoid to gamble with other peoples money. At the moment I only gamble online because the casinos are closed.

You did the right thing by avoiding to keep asking for loans, friends and family members do not really have a problem with helping you when you are in need but if they find out that you are going to use the money for something like gambling then they are going to lose trust in you and most likely when you really need money for something more important they are not going to be willing to lend that money to you and that is never a good thing.

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.

Yes, I agree. This is the main reason why it makes sense for governments to set a maximum limit of time and/or a maximum of money, which can be lost. To be fair: It's nearly impossible to create such a law, because of different providers. But in general at least some losses are covered  if you prohibit some players to risk all of their money.

[death69]

- Have a weekly budget to play and do not ever go over it?

Yes, I do have a budget to play. I has considered gambling as a form of entertainment for many years but it is hard to follow it if you recklessly deposit your money just to buy the happiness. And when you realize you are out of money, no fun anymore

- Not ever get in debt for gambling?

I have never get in debt because of gambling. I understand the rudimentary idea that we cant afford to lose much money, especially if it belongs to others. Consequently, I never borrow anyone money. But I do lose a huge amount of money which make me reconsider the meaning of gambling throughout many months

- Have an allocated time for gambling and never exceed it?

Of course. Gambling too much is not good, even if it is only for entertainment. We have to work, eat, sleep and obtain knowledge from our activities. Gambling is just a relaxation for a short time so I have to limit my time in order to do other things

- Gamble only socially with friends of relatives?

I have met many new friends on the internet thanks to gambling. So the answer for the question is no

- Have someone helping you control your gambling?

I fix everything mostly by myself, or youtube channel. I do not want to become a burden to anyone, even my family. Be responsible for any consequence you have made. That is my rule

[fiulpro]

I do not have something like a Gambling time, what I do have is extra money beside the savings. That money I do use for gambling every once in a while , I do believe that time should not matter at all. If you are playing well then you can use much more time , but if you are not playing well and loosing then you should wait for the next paycheck. You should never spend perse much more time, but rather set beside a different schedule and your money should be well managed. You have to understand that there are various things available on the sites , for example on the gambling websites there are things available to limit the account itself and you can also seek professional help if needed though.

Moreover, people who gamble for pleasure tend to lose control of their money.

You don't right lol. If you're playing for pleasure and entertainment, you're mentally, already accepted your potential loses. And if you trying to "win"m when you will not stop until you're lost everything or if someone else send you to the gambling addict clinic

I have a full time job so I can't really spend much time gambling. I have a very strict bankroll management and like I already specified I only bet on sports and mostly for fun. I'm not a pro, I usually bet together with friends and colleagues and that is good to me.
Already lost a lot on dice on my own..... over and done.

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.

[Alisha-k]

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

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.

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.

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.

If you can afford what you will lose in gambling, you do not have to regret if you lose your money in gambling because that is what we will get if we gamble. Making betting plans will be necessary, so you can know how long your time to gamble and you can quit gambling as soon as possible. Most people will forget their plans to stay at the casino soon after they can win for some rounds and if they still gamble, it does not need too long to lose the win money. In this matter, having limitations will be an important thing that a gambler should have.
