Who among you here is gambling at work?

[adpinbr]

Sometimes declining some betting activities is not necessary, I believe all dependent on the situation why you are betting. In this case, if you are currently employed, you can decide to go to a casino shop whenever it is right like I said, it’s always good to set a particular amount of betting from your salary so you won’t go above what you have projected, definitely is going to be a problem if you don’t have a budget on your betting activities you end up of using the money for your family, upkeep and groceries to put it away and come back home to face problem with your wife.

I have to say that those who are gambling at work are people who cant manage their time well. Working time should be used wisely, to focus on the work only but I wont deny that I have done it before because I was so bored with what I do in my office. I realize that it is a mistake and I do not do it again till now to avoid something bad with my career. Better to manage our gambling time, gamble when we have free time only, time when we have nothing to do at all. Time is priceless especially when it comes with our family, job, or relationship.

Yeah it's a Good one,and another thing is to set our priorities right, alot of people can't set their priority right,and which is your job,mind you once you lose it you've lost totally even the little funds for gambling won't be coming again.
So whenever we are at work our focus should be on work alone nothing else,cause once your mind is divided anything can happen  and the outcome will be disastrous.imagine working in a clinic where you attend to patient and you're gambling at that same spot what do you think will be the results it's either you loose your stake or lose a life.
So it's not advisable to gamble while at work as you can't serve two masters at a time.

Wrong phrase, sorry for that sir.

Working is a good example of serving your master as you are rewarded for your work, you'll never loss since you are not gambling. however, gambling should be treated as a different thing, it's not us serving our master but it's us being serve since we gamble to be entertain and to win, and if we are successful with that, we are feeling fulfill not because we are working to get paid, but we are working on our own using our skills from our money to make money.

When I was a younger gambler, I wanted to do absolutely everything, and thus I tested myself and thought that I was faster than others. With age, my preferences have changed and now I enjoy taking my time and doing everything after carefully thinking it through. I want to say that in my youth I played at work from my phone and I liked it, but now everything has become the opposite, I don’t want to play at work anymore, but I want to be involved in only one thing. I realized that it’s better to play at home so that nothing distracts me. This way I will get more pleasure from the game, moreover, I think that I will not change this opinion. Maybe I have become more sensitive to little things or something else happened to me, I can’t even give a clear answer.

Good one, this a very clear and understandable explanation and I completely agree with you, gambling is not we serving a master, but more like the casino serving us indirectly, since when we serve a master, we get paid wages right?, now, what wages does the casino pay us when we play on the casino to show that we are serving them? If not we eventually losing all our money in the long run, that is to show that we are not serving the casino, but since we are the ones paying the casino with our hard earned money, it simply means that the casino is indirectly serving us, and we are the master, since it's we spending the money.

And besides, I feel that that phrase "one can be serve two masters at a time" is completely outdated and shouldn't be used anymore, for this day, we can find a lot of persons doing multiple jobs, and getting paid well, some of us here even have account in other forums where we are also promoting other services through our signature ad space, and still getting paid as we get paid here on bitcointalk, isn't that serving two masters?

The world have changed a lot, and I feel some of this old phrased should be changed as well, since they no longer apply effectively to what the world we live in today has turned into.

You're right unlike as you said earlier that working is a good example of serving your master as you are rewarded for your work,I think you make a point there, you're not serving any master in gambling instead gamble is the one serving us since we gamble for fun and also for intertainment.but to be realistic gambling when you're at work is not advisable,there are some rules governing most of this companies and one of this rules are: using of cellphone is prohibited, as a worker in such company you have to abide with the rules. that's if you love your job,there are also some people who choose to violate this rules, probably if you're been cought using your cellphone to gamble when you're at work  you will be fired and that is final.

[arjunmujay]

I myself often play the lottery while I'm working. because it doesn't take a lot of time and is serious to bet there. so that the time to work remains effective and you can still place bets. Who knows, if the lottery we choose actually comes out, just think of it as finding money. If you play live casino, it's very difficult because you have a very short time frame while working. Even in between working hours, it feels like it will be very lacking if you play live casino.

For this type of game, it is true that it does not require much time, you just need to log in to one of the sites and put your confidence numbers and then leave and come back after a few hours to see the announcement of which number came out the winner at that time. If you are involved in this type of betting then maybe yes it will not interfere too much with your work time and maybe my advice is in terms of the amount of budget, which is where you are more advised to put the amount that you think you can afford to be responsible for if in the end the number you put is not the number that wins the lottery.

That's right, the problem with why it's forbidden to gamble while you're at work is when you're gambling on live casino bets which means you can't miss a beat and have to stay on screen to monitor and play your bets, such as maybe slot games or other live casino games that always need to be played.
 or other live casino games that always require consideration at any time to make decisions and obviously this will interfere with your focus at work.

Is it really forbidden to gamble while at work? It would be unethical to use work devices to access online casino (yet this still depends on the admin if he monitors users activity, or all he cares is that you dont download any virus), but who can forbid me to use my mobile to gamble? Wont it be interference in private life? Technically I can have a lunch at work in the office at my working place and gamble during it. Technically I am still at work.

The answer will depend on the contract you signed with the company you are working for and the overall environment there, I have no doubts that some workplaces could be incredibly relaxed, and your boss or peers will not see anything wrong with you gambling at your job as long as you are attending your responsibilities.

But it is also true, there are many jobs in which you could be fired on the spot if you were to be discovered gambling, so you need to evaluate in which environment you are and take the best decision based on that evaluation.

If you do have that a job which is field based and something that really needs up that extreme attention and having that kind of distraction would be something hazardous then getting caught on doing gambling on the time of duty would definitely make yourself that fired but if you are really that working on an office type of work then playing gambling could really be inserted but of course you shouldnt really be that confident
that no one would really be tending to sabotage you and making up some complaints into higher ups or admin reporting on what you've been doing since these things cant really be avoided when it comes to
issues in between fellow workers if things go personal.

This is why it would really be that best that you shouldnt really be doing gambling while  you do work. You arent really just that avoiding yourself into some potential problems but also you are really that trying out to avoid
yourself on being addicted with it on which i would really be saying that this is something more preferable and a nice act i should say.

At the end of the day it really depends on the actual job you are working at, the contract you have, and the social relationships you have.

Some people can get away with it, others can't.

In some jobs it is impossible, in others it's quite simple.

You can't really make general assumptions about this.

In my opinion, whatever job it is, if it involves gambling, there is a big possibility that problems will occur, as you said, if we are caught gambling, there is a big possibility that we will have serious problems, such as being fired by our superiors from the job we have got. with outside or field-based work, maybe we can do it using an email, but of course that's a risk and could trigger our own emotional changes which will affect our performance and of course that's not good. Just like office-based jobs that involve computers and the internet in their daily lives, this really supports the ability to gamble.

but what you say is true, maybe there are other people who see our gambling activities and people who see our gambling activities can file a complaint or complain about it. In my opinion, it's not looking for face, but the person who gambles during working hours is at fault. . Of course, this should not be done because there will be many impacts that can occur if gambling itself cannot be controlled properly. If you still have good thoughts then it is unethical to do rash things at work, because the workplace has a source of income. Our main goal, of course, is to look after it as well as possible.

It depends on the country where live and also the regulations where work, if live in country that doesn't have ban on gambling and there no ban on gambling in the workplace then I think anyone can gamble if they want.
But apart from all that, worker still has full responsibility for his work and he must really prioritize completing work before doing other activities that are not related to work.
Most important thing is to be able to manage the right time and what do does not interfere with work, so this is clearly not something that needs to be considered unethical.
What more, gambling doesn't require you to use work device because everyone will have cell phone and personal cell phone can be used to access gambling sites so won't damage anything and worry about viruses or problems that will occur.

Everyone has their own rights regarding every activity they carry out, whether it is private or open, certainly no one can prohibit it unless it is prohibited act and clearly has legal regulations.
Everyone also has their own thoughts and whatever they do is their choice so they shouldn't be so dependent on what other people think.

Sometimes, when work has stalled and my brain has overheated, I am tempted to play online casinos on my full time job. It's like a way to get distracted and relax for a few minutes. The pros are that it adds thrills and excitement to my boring work day.
But, there are also disadvantages: I lose focus and concentration at work, and also risk being caught by my superiors. Therefore, I try not to get too carried away and use the game as a short entertainment.

Sometimes the best thing to do it to relax a bit and then go back to work with increased focus.

Some people enjoy this and can go gambling for a few minutes and then come back to the job with recharged batteries.

Others go gambling and never really come back, their mind is stuck in the gambling.

It's like any other addiction really. In moderation it's great.

In my opinion, when we work we should just focus on our work, don't let us steal time, especially if we only use it for gambling. If you want to do it, it's better to do it during your break. The work we do is our source of income which can fulfill our daily living needs, while gambling is just something for entertainment and even if we don't gamble regularly it will use up the money we earn from work.
We all often say that we only gamble in our free time and we do it while relaxing without doing any work. I think this is a form of our professionalism and a form of our responsibility at work, whether we will follow what our brain wants or we will fight it and choose to postpone the game and focus more on work first. Moreover, if the company applies strict rules, of course if we force ourselves too hard to gamble, it will be very risky if we are caught by the company, and the consequences can be very fatal. We must know the time when we can gamble and when we should prioritize other things.

It's tempting many people when they feel overheated in their works and thinks that playing gambling will relax them and can back to work with fresh. But that's not a good decision as their minds may not stop playing gambling easily because when they win or lose, they will still playing gambling and there is a tend that they will continue playing gambling no matter what's the result. If a person can know how long they can playing gambling, he can stop immediately from playing gambling. But we knows that gambling can tempt him to continue playing gambling and this time, he will try to chase the win and recover his loses. That will makes him forget to limit his time to playing gambling because he can't stop himself from gambling. The risks is he can get caught by his superiors because of playing gambling in his work.

That's the problem, if you can't control yourself you'll compromise your job if the focus turned to gambling when you play while working there's a chance that you'll messed up, though I get your point and that's going to depend from how a person takes care of his emotion, if he can just kill some time and can bounce back without any problem then that might work, but, again, still depends from what the company rules and how they take this kind of action from one employee, most of the time company doesn't like any extra activities as they are paying right amount so they also wanted to get that time from each individuals who are working for them.

Yeah right, the chance of keeping your focus into gambling either you are winning or losing will lead you not to pay attention to your work, it might ruin your bread and butter in terms of financial needs. Better not to deal with it if you can hold and wait till your shift ends up and you have all the free time to gamble.

Gamblers will definitely suffer if they don't have a solid gambling budget because gambling depends on luck.  You must accept this while gambling and you won't have any problem if you lose as much money as your standard of living should bet so much money then gambling will only give you fun it won't cause you any problems. But if you continue gambling for a long time without keeping any kind of budget, then gambling will put you in a lot of danger this is only truth
