Has your budget for gambling been affected by the festive season?

[Queentoshi]

It is the festive season, and it comes with a lot of expenses, both planned and unplanned. The planned expenses are usually higher than normal because marketers take advantage of the season and increase the prices of their commodities and you spend more that usually budget. The unplanned in this season is that you may have some visitors either family or friends and will have to spend some more money entertaining them. For people who have a strict budget for gambling, I would like to know if your budget for gambling has reduced, or if it remains the same?

Its the festive season no doubt about that and yeah its comes with alot of unnecessary spendings, in my locality here the period is celebrated with so much festive activities and its celebrated mainly by christains and you wondering if the period has affected anyones gambling plans  totally depends how he or she feels about this period. For me i don't think its affects me in my gambling since gambling is not an act i put under my budget. While for others i think your topic is going to be the other way round especially if he or she does not gamble responsibly.

As always, regardless of any season or what, if there's an upcoming purpose that I really need to spend money on, I will prioritize that.

Gambling is just there and if I feel like doing it, I will just play without bothering about anything.

I don't want to associate my gambling activity with too much complicated things. As I said, if I feel doing gambling, I will do it. If not, then not.

No, I have my job salary separately allocated for my personal expenses while my forum salary is the one I’m using for my gambling expenses which is not affected no matter what is the season. The only thing that affected on my gambling during festive season is my game time because I’m always out for a trip or doing bonding with my family that makes me less active in gambling and focus on social life but my budget doesn’t affected by this holidays expenses.

[bittraffic]

For me yes. I didn't spend anything on gambling 2 weeks ago as I bought a gift for someone I dearly wanna visit tomorrow, I would assume many of us are actually spending for gifts.

There could be people not really putting much spending on Christmas gatherings. For one they know there is a crisis and the commodity prices are higher than last year.

[Captain Corporate]

A bit maybe? I mean not a lot, because I try to keep it as strict as possible and that way I wouldn't go over budget at any time. However, that doesn't mean that there are times when I would like to celebrate a little bit more so I would spend a slightly higher amount. This isn't some grand deal though, I am not a whale, I can gamble with like 20-100 dollar range, which means I could maybe crack it over to 150 when the time comes and I feel like having some more fun but that's it. Which lesser than bets some people make here for each bet, hence its not really a life changing amount, I just do it to have fun, not to get rich.

a good gambler should always been able to keep in control the budget even if there is an holiday or even if he is programming some other activities.
Let's be honest, if you had to modify your gambling budget something is not working (it means you are spending too much in gambling), it's better save money for other purposes.

The budget remains the same as I have allocated a portion of my income so that it will not distract from the celebrations that will give gifts to the family to get together in the holiday season.
So I will focus on other things that they can be happy about, I can even postpone gambling for a few days because I want to focus on sharing there as a close relative, but with this allocated budget, I can play, even though it's not much, it will stick with budgeting. I can't interfere with other plans on the day of the celebration.

[Yawa2020]

Nope, it doesn't. Whatever I budget for gambling, I assume as if it is not part of my wealth again and that is the reason I don't feel too sad after losing. So my gambling budget has never been affected by any festive season. I usually set aside miscellaneous budget enough that can cover for unplanned expenses.

[yahoo62278]

I only gamble with the money earned here on the forum for example from my sig space. So my budget has not changed at all. If I win i'll cash out, if I lose then i'll try again next week, No reason to get into the bank trying to beat a casino. Just have fun and lose what you can afford.

For me it remains the same,I have it fixed,predetermined and I don't use it for other purposes even in the festivities season.Usually here where I am people notify before coming so I can act accordingly,i.e withdrawing more money from the bank or topping up my credit card.I love the day I have setup for gambling which is Wednesday and usually at late night when I am alone as I don't want distractions around me,I want to be fully focused in enjoying the slot machine I am playing,if I hit it big great,if not still great but what I want above anything else is to enjoy the session so I never spend my gambling budget for something else.

[Davidvictorson]

This is the festive season. In this season, I am usually very careful about my expenses. As a matter of fact I hand over money related expenses to my partner. I also cut down on my gambling budget this period to like 5% because of the increased expenses. Family members will be travelling down for, kids would want to go see Santa and expect a Christmas present, I gotta get my partner something nice  and take her for dinner too because she has been my backbone this year. So you see gambling budget has to receive a cut.

Festive seasons always impact gambling budget, because doesn't matter how organized you are, you always end spending more money with friends and relatives due to the festivals. We want to be close to our families and to proportionate them good times, so it's really hard to not purchase gifts for them and more food and drinks for everyone. And when there are events nearby we also spend more by going to these places. Then this money must come from somewhere in order to do these activities, and if there is an idle gambling budget waiting, that is where the funds for the festive season are coming from...

[dothebeats]

It's still the same $20/week, not affected by anything at all. It has never changed and always has been that for the last 2 or 3 years, though there instances wherein an esports/sports event is underway and I wanted to make a bet on some games but that doesn't happen that much. This festive season, I am trying to lay off the gambling platform and try to just go around town and discover some hidden spots that I can get some good food from. It's way cheaper and kind of relaxing, but gambling is just a lot entertaining and I really can't get off it that easily.

Perhaps I might do a one time, big time before the end of the year, and spend maybe a thousand dollars in one sitting. Hopefully I don't get dumb enough to actually do that and waste my money for nothing.

[Accardo]

They've been lots of money spent during this period and I'm wondering why its happening so fast. Though, on the contrary, the money, if spent on gambling could yield money or vanish. The festive period like the name implies is one that should be remembered, its been a busy year and tough one we all need to celebrate with loved ones. I've been focusing more on family lately than any other pleasure, as I can't predict how the next year would look like. After the festival then, I'll be more focused to make exceptional gambling decisions.

How much is your Budget on friends and family? For me, it is not much, I do not have a wife yet that can increase the budget but it is also parts of the planned budget, I mean the money spent on family and some friends. Festive period do take more money but I spend just little amount of money on gambling which is just 5%. But I do notice that my gambling activities always reduce during this time as I have more time with families.

Every religion has a specific time when they use that time for festivals. Now the Christmas festival has started. So Christians keep everything in their calculations. When a gambler gambles they know what amount of money they can spend. They make proper arrangements for it in advance. Normally gamblers are not affected much. But unexpected something run into some problems. If you are forced to spend a little more then gambling may have little effect. Many gamblers think that gambling can be done all year long but this day will never come again. But responsible gamblers prioritize their gambling above all else.

This festive period can either increase or decrease the gambling budget of some gamblers. Some persons might want to increase their stake because they want to increase their chances on winning big so that they can have money to spend this festive period. Others might spend less on gambling because they have used part of their budgeted funds for gambling to cater for some expenses during this celebration period. For me this festive period didn't affect my expenses on gambling because I already have a budget for it. And I have also learned to spend within my means or budget this festive period. Whatever I cannot afford during this period, I don't bother or strive to get them.

I'm not one of them; you may get surprised to see my gambling habits. I would never be going to have bankruptcy nor busted even if I lost all of my funds in casino; I don't have a lot either LOL. My gambling habits are very much limited, controlled. Nevertheless, let me share you my observation from my neighbour LOL. I don't belong to elite society though I could have (that's a long story). I have seen one guy losing money all the time including in the festival time & having quarrel with wife all the time. That's ridiculous. Purpose of sharing this; gamblers can barely control/limit themselves.

Holidays are always a good time to spend, not necessarily though but it’s always a good feeling to spend but still not to exceed to my limits. And with gambling, I just gamble whenever I have budget for that and if not, then just stay at home with my family. I still have to prioritize other things than gambling, and I think since I am just an occasional gambler, my gambling budget is never that affected and it’s not a big deal to me if ever.
