Who among you here is gambling at work?

[Docnaster]

Even when we do win, we tend to spend most of our winnings, so we don't treat it as business money. This leaves us in a precarious situation when we lose because the money we initially budgeted for our families gets diverted to cover unexpected gambling-related expenses.

That's to some people. I have seen someone who won big in gambling, what he did was to use the money he got from gambling to establish a big business for himself. From that time till now, he has been living comfortably and he does minimize the way he gambles each week.
When asked why is he not betting as he ought to before, he answers by saying that he has gotten the amount he's longing for to start up a business. Any other thing will come but not by getting addicted to gambling to win more bets because you will end up losing the money won from gambling bets.

Well I have heard this type of your story of people quitting gambling when they have gotten the amount of money they needed for something important like a start up capital for business. But some other persons do not gamble with target, immediately they win big in gambling, they will see the winning as a free money, forgetting how much they have been lossing in gambling. They will therefore largish the money and return to their usual gambling life.

Regarding op questions. It is not a good habit to gamble at work, when it becomes a habit it will affect your work conditions and your output at work will be very low. Just have a time for gambling and avoid gambling at work.

My job and gambling, which is important? Ofcourse I'll choose my job because it's consistent in paying my bills at the end of the month unlike gambling that's risky and unreliable to depend on.

this is a very valid reason. No matter how much we like gambling, no matter how big it is, we must not let it interfere with our work. because it is impossible if we gamble while working, the results of our work can still be as good as without us doing gambling activities. because our focus will be divided. Moreover, if we experience losses when playing gambling while working then it will certainly really disturb our concentration and focus. so that the results of our work will decrease and not be optimal. If that's the case and our boss is disappointed then we will also be the ones who lose. and if they find out, our position will be threatened and we will be fired. So it's better to divide your time wisely when to gamble and when to work.

That kind of behavior will obviously end up how it has many times in the pass, likely the person Lossing their job and trying to continue to fuel their gambling addiction through other less legitimate means.
Losing ones job because of gambling is supposed to be one of most important and earliest wake up calls for gamblers to realize their are going down a dangerous path, if they realize and correct their course on time, then there won't be reasons for them to suffer much further.

It is similar when someone is arrested for a small crime and won't change their ways, to further progress onto commiting felonies.

Depends on how the situation would really be that severe in terms of engagement with gambling yet there are still people who would really be able to retain their control despite of playing while at work on which they could really be still able to do their job and able to play at the same time whenever they do have the opportunity. Not all people who do play gambling at work would definitely be ending up on losing their job. It would really be always that depend on how you would really be making those actions because if you dont make out such control and discipline towards yourself and werent really that sensible on what actions you would really be making
then pretty sure you would really beending up on having that kind of problem on which it isnt really that something that you could be able to avoid if you do tolerate your addiction.

People who play while at work can retain their job if they are not caught by their superiors.  Yes, an employee can still function normally even while they had their mobile phone in gambling mode since there are games that can be played with automation.  But this simply shows that the employee is not into the entertainment of the gambling games but rather for the profit he may made which is somehow dangerous since this could be a sign of gambling addiction.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible or else you would definitely really be that experiencing on things which arent supposed you would really gonna need to experience.
It would really be all depending on how you would really be making yourself that aware on the actions that you are making.

I agree, gambling isn't bad, and it is not bad as long as it does not interfere with our field of works, relation to our family and our financial capability.

I agree with you that gambling isn't bad but it is how the gambler behaves that might make people see gambling as something bad. Just like an addict that will gamble anywhere he finds himself and wouldn't care about what people are saying or advising him, because he is busy thinking on how to hit the jackpot.

If you bring in gambling into your work, it means that you have ruin your job because there is no how one can serve two masters at the same time. Either you gamble and show less concern of your job, or you take your job serious and forget about gambling.

Gambling should be some in a matured way that will make you not to regret about your gambling activities, and it is good that a gambler should set out time doe his gambling activities and not to gamble whenever he likes. This will help him to have self control over his gambling activities.

   Gambling is not necessarily bad, but if it is causing you to lose your career or harm your family, I believe you should first quit gaming. Because, in my opinion and belief, you are using gambling incorrectly. You can bet, but you must do it without causing harm to anything you own.

   If you do it while working, you should be aware of the implications if you do so within the organization for which you work. You can do this during your break time as long as you don't do it during your work time, as this is a symptom of disregarding your work.

Yeah, I agree with you here.

I see gambling as any other addiction, like alcohol for example. The only issue is that it's quite possible to lose all your money in a single night with gambling, alcohol is not that expensive.

Well, you could end up dead with an alcohol overdose, or in an accident because of alcohol... I guess they are in a similar level.

[Jossque]

That's why I'd like to tell you again what I've talked about many times here. Gambling is simply greed. And the way to overcome or limit that greed is to set aside a certain amount of your salary or income - it could be 10 to 20 percent. By taking such a precaution, even if you lose, you will be able to carry on with the rest of your money for the rest of your life because you have lost the amount you could have risked. When you invest all of your salary here for the sake of making a quick profit, it will start to turn into a quagmire. You will start losing and losing and losing and you will start to collapse. This will affect not only your work performance but also your enjoyment, excitement and happiness in your daily life and everything connected to it.

Yes, I agree with you that gambling is something that must be limited otherwise gambling will waste as much of our money as possible with continuous losses, playing gambling must use money that we can afford to lose, namely a small amount from the results of our hard work gain, so that when we experience defeat and the money we have limited runs out we will stop for a moment without thinking about the defeat that just happened, this is self-discipline and will make us responsible gamblers so that the potential for gambling addiction will be avoided in us.

Gambling can give you the same pleasure as some games or activities, but it is important to remember that the risk of losing is likely to be higher in gambling than in others. When you ignore this and play with all your money, you don't know what to do with the rest of your time. It will start to set you back, both health-wise and financially. To be honest, it doesn't make sense to me to spend the money you have worked hard for a month and earned in return in one day. For this, you can also turn to gambling after saving every month. When you lose at gambling, this time you will say that it was the money I had already allocated for gambling and you will move on. In this way, you will not have problems for the rest of your life and you will have done your pleasure.

[ChiBitCTy]

It sounds like you should probably give up gambling all together.  The only time I've ever gambled at work is placing bets for games for the coming weekend, things like that.  I guess I also "gamble" at work when the office sets up a fantasy football league, or does NCAA Mens Basketball tournament brackets, which is a big hit for office gambling.  However these latter two is something my employers are okay with, as it's a great way to do team "bonding".

Gambling at work could be counted for an unseriousness and that just what it means because you can't serve two masters at the same time, work on itself needed one's attention and same also is gambling, i believe most jobs as well ro have their own requirements as well for their employees to follow, part of it is that you may not be allowed to use the phone while at work, if caught you might loose the job.

It seems like everyone who has a job and only gets a salary every month will definitely be more careful when they want to gamble because if they are not careful, they will definitely lose the money easily and they will regret it because the results of his hard work for a month wasted in vain.
but there is also people who think of gambling as an additional result for example they have a job but they want to increase their income from gambling, this can be done but we cannot have high expectations because gambling does not always provide the results or profits we expect but if we really dare to speculate and bear risks such as sports betting can definitely make money there but still be careful in betting because not all sports betting is accurate we have to bet in small amounts and still use limits even with small bets even if we only make small profits if we are diligent we will make there's a lot of money there with that initial capital.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.

I have never gambled while working in an office, but what you said is true that gambling can damage our concentration a little when we do it when we have to do other important things, so not only when working in the office, but also when there are students who gamble on the sidelines. doing campus assignments will be annoying because often gamblers will find it difficult to stop whatever the result is unless the money in the casino has run out, so when they lose they will always be curious and when they win they will always think this is a lucky time so it is almost difficult to stop. It's better to gamble when you have free time, so it's not on the sidelines of important activities because it can disturb our focus and can make us make the wrong decisions, for example, because we're upset about losing and increasing our bets until the money runs out quickly.

[Salahmu]

I'd like to share my experience with you all. Even though I'm not currently employed, I went through a phase of gambling while I was working in the past, and the outcome wasn't positive. It affected my job performance because, as you may know, when you lose, you tend to dwell on your losses and constantly think about strategies to win. When we talk about work, it usually means we're not particularly wealthy, and imagine what happens when we gamble money we can't afford to lose, especially when we're not earning much.

OP although it all depends on the individual mindset on how they handle there gambling emotion if losing, because that's one of the reasons people should gamble with the little they no will not affect them if they lose, so boiling down to what you are saying, a gambler could only be easily affected if they use a huge amount of money that would have been use to take care of other serious needs in there family for gambling and when they losses it seriously affect there working performance because they could be thinking about what the money would have done for them if they had not gamble with it.

Gambling has really done more harm than good to most of the people, because we no that whenever we gamble with a big amount and losses, immediately our moon changes and at that moment you may not be thinking straight and if your job is a technical job there is every possibility of making a mistake and could cost you your job.

So like I said the best gambling practice to help you remain calm even when losing is gambling with the little money that cannot affect you if losses.

Gambling at work is the most disastrous thing one can think of doing.

Imagine gambling at work and during working hours and your superiors gets to find out, it doesn't matter whether or not you just got started that day or you have been there, their assumption is that you don't put in time into your work and you also indulge in unethical engagements at duty, the office can even be into gambling for a service, you will loose your job instantly.

[justdimin]

Playing something even if it's not gambling during work hours is definitely the best possible way to lose a job FAST. I don't really know why you get to ask these very weird questions. I mean, why would anyone in their sane mind will decide to just randomly gamble at their workplace? What difference will it make when you gamble at home? If you have a poor work ethic, quit the job and do something else that would make you money, then gamble to your heart's content.

The only game that we can play are the ones who came from the company or to our managers and bosses. Maybe there's also bosses and managers who are not strict enough and can allow us to do non-job related activities on our vacant time?

OP might only be bored at work, that is why he asked it or thinks it's a good idea to gamble during working hours. That is the difference of gambling at our workplace from our home. Another would be is ; it gives extra excitement because we may get caught out and get a violation. If he have a poor work ethic, maybe operating a business will fit better at him. The goodness of it is; he can play gambling anytime because he himself is the boss.

So it's better to divide your time wisely when to gamble and when to work.

I go in line with that thought and also respect the official guidelines for workers and one of the rules in my office is that no one does other things aside from the official duties that brought you to the office, and also if caught in the middle of that, you may be sacked so it do better to stay off the gambling while at work and only play games when at home.


So better stay off and work instead of distracting your official schedule to gamble at some point.

When we talk about work, it usually means we're not particularly wealthy, and imagine what happens when we gamble money we can't afford to lose, especially when we're not earning much.

Let me tell you, the feeling is far from pleasant. It leads to a decline in your work performance, which can have significant consequences since that's your primary source of income. It might be manageable if you're winning, but the harsh reality is often quite the opposite. Even when we do win, we tend to spend most of our winnings, so we don't treat it as business money. This leaves us in a precarious situation when we lose because the money we initially budgeted for our families gets diverted to cover unexpected gambling-related expenses.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.

One thing I don't joke with is any attempt or element that try to disrupt my main source of income, I make sure I completely eliminate it from my life. Yes, I said what I said, if the source of income is gone today, there will be no opportunity to gamble anymore and there will not be money to feed again. You ought to have think of that and forget gambling completely because if we check your gambling history, I doubt if your gambling income will exceed your place of work income.

Furthermore, what did you take gambling? You think it's a place where you can wake up and do some magic and then double, tribe and X your wager, no. As you are thinking of the winning side, you should also think of the losing side because for every winning that you take from casino, they expect or want you to give it back in the future, that's how they profit and you want to take that all from them

Another thing you should consider is break, yes take a break. It's good for the body, help relax the body and makes you productive. You don't have to gamble all the time if you don't want to start having nemesis of too much loss from gambling, you need to strike a balance between your work, your free time and gambling time.

Completely true, If gambling is done during work, it can certainly have its effects. When you are regularly involved in a job, you will lose focus on your work while placing any new bets. Your mind will be in one place where the work output will definitely be hindered. If you lose a bet at that time your work will be affected the most. Every month when you lose the bet after receiving certain amount from job then you have to spend the whole month very badly. You will be tensed for money. And work performance cannot be expected at that time. Gambling should never be done on the job hour as it may affect personal life.

Situations like this may lead to termination. This is why people should know and realize that during working hours, focusing on your work tasks would be the best thing to do. Instead of taking the risk of losing the job, might be better to aim to be one of the top-performing employees at work. Any other activity especially gambling will put your job at risk. Aside from that, imagine if you lose in gambling, the salary you earned that day will only go to gambling.

No, this is not applicable to all works. It depends on the nature of your work and how tolerant your employer is. First of all, is it stated in your company rules that gambling is prohibited? Before we can conclude that it's unethical. Secondly, is your performance at place of work declining due to gambling? I agree that gambling at place of work during working hours is bad and can cause distraction but it is not enough reason to fire employee instantly without issuing warning unless it's agreed upon the commencement of service there.

Even when we do win, we tend to spend most of our winnings, so we don't treat it as business money. This leaves us in a precarious situation when we lose because the money we initially budgeted for our families gets diverted to cover unexpected gambling-related expenses.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.

But I think we all agree to have gambling budget aside from our main budget for the family. I know it is hard to stick to the plan some time but if you engage in gambling with money meant for family budget, you'll end up in financial crisis. We lost all the money budgeted for gambling that week or month as the case may be, it's better you take a break for a while until you make another budget to start over again. Winning should always be divided into two, one part for personal use while the other for gambling budget again.

I would not ever think of something as irresponsible as gambling at work. Because its not allowed and it is very unprofessional to do in a place that is paying you to provide a certain service. To me that just seems false and dishonest. And even insulting to the person who hired you and pays you.

If someone gets to the point of needing to gamble everywhere, at work, on the toilet, etc. then that is a definite problem and a serious sign of gambling addiction. That person needs to stop gambling and keep away from addictive habits.

Otherwise things will not turn out fine for them.
