Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it

[Z_MBFM]

It is an addiction. You are also losing which is another sign that it is an addiction. If you have stopped this habit, it will be good. If you do not stop, it may later has side effect on your health and which you will not like. I have this habit before but I have also stopped since few years ago. If you do not have time to gamble, do not gamble. If you want to gamble, gamble with little amount of money.

Gambling only affects us when we over gamble. The best time to gamble is during free time because we spend free time during free time and gambling can be a good way to make free time more enjoyable in our busy life. But we start taking it seriously when we play gambling too much. And thus many people do not hesitate to gamble even at work.  Gambling brings only fun to the person who uses it as fun but brings a lot of harm to the person who starts taking it seriously.

I’m always a victim of this mistake before when I’m still allure on online casino. I keep playing every night after work. I always play until midnight which makes me consume most of my rest time for my job preparation tomorrow.

The result is I don’t have much energy at work due to insufficient sleep and I lose funds on gambling because I keep playing quick due to my limited time. The effect is very disadvantageous to me since I both lose in these situations. This is the reason why I change my gambling pattern significantly that limit me to play only during weekends when I don’t have job tomorrow.

This is an advice based on my experience, don’t ever insert gambling on your schedule if you really don’t have free time for it because it will always result to disaster in both gambling and your life.

Yes, in my opinion, there are still many gamblers like you who always use their rest time at home to gamble until they lose track of time without realizing that tomorrow you have to go to work and do your work activities well. And gamblers like this are very risky if they have a dangerous job and must change immediately.
And the best way in my opinion is to find another activity after work that makes you feel very tired when you get home and immediately rest, which I think is a lot, including for health. Like the gym or other sports that you can do according to your ability, or hang out with friends or do positive activities with them until you get tired and go home.
And the best way I have ever experienced it is to get married and have children, because with this I have no time to gamble other than weekends. Because after work I spend time with my wife and children until I fall asleep and continue like that or go for a walk looking for something after I get home feeling tired and rested.
And like that I assume that gambling for fun is on the weekends when there is free time to spend a few dollars and enjoy the game leisurely, which sometimes luck is on my side.

Those that prefer to gamble quickly, they are the ones that have not that much time like OP has said. They are busy people but still want to jive in to gambling because they want to still do their thing that's related to their bets.

It can't be stopped but soon they will realize that when they've been hitting their losing streaks, that's how they're going to change their thoughts about gambling quickly.

They'll start to take their time and for them to get the most out of their money and time. No one has to rush when they're gambling unless you've been given some challenge that has pocket and time limit.

If we can manage our time then we will not spend a lot of time on gambling except in our free time, we definitely prioritize time for our main job, hanging out with family and friends, but we have free time to enjoy fun without being tied to anyone. However, as you said above, when they have allocated a lot of time to focus on gambling it can have a bad impact on finances, gambling addiction will creep into their minds to always gamble during working hours and they have changed bad life patterns because they have fallen into gambling addiction.

Make sure that gambling can never influence you to gamble beyond the money limit to lose and beyond the time limit, but if you lose control because gambling greed has taken over your mind, then the right option is to reduce gambling activities or stop gambling.

Gambling should be enjoyed. And for one to be entertained he should gamble in a stable state of mind and not in a rush. Playing games in haste will lead to losses because you might not be able to properly analyze and predict games. Sometimes I wonder how people who gamble during work hours manage to make it happen because it is not a conducive place for gambling. Weekends and holidays are the most convenient gambling time for me. Friday and Saturdays are my best time because on Sundays is a time for preparation for Monday's work.

It is an addiction. You are also losing which is another sign that it is an addiction. If you have stopped this habit, it will be good. If you do not stop, it may later has side effect on your health and which you will not like. I have this habit before but I have also stopped since few years ago. If you do not have time to gamble, do not gamble. If you want to gamble, gamble with little amount of money.

Gambling addiction is not just about not managing gambling funds. One can be seen as having a gambling disorder because of time mismanagement. Keeping late nights because of gambling can not just lead to poor job performance but can also cause help problems. I know a friend who sleeps on the job because he is addicted to  computer games which might also the case of late-night gamblers.

There is no fun anymore when you over gamble. The fact that you maximize your time in gambling is not a good sign anymore since gambling is only intended just for pleasure and fun, and not to serve as an actual source of income wherein you give a lot of time just to get your desired profits. When you are seeing yourself gambling this way, then you should get worried immediately since there is more chances to lose if you take gambling seriously. It’s intended to bring us fun, not to make us worry and discomfort.

You were able to modify your behaviour based on unpleasant experiences that isn't helping you. And this is good. While this is your case, other people may not have a problem with taking short breaks to gamble. It is just human personality difference that varies from one gambler to another. Anyone is your shoes should follow your advice but anyone who thinks that they are doing just fine and stay with what already is working for them.

Gambling addiction is not just about not managing gambling funds. One can be seen as having a gambling disorder because of time mismanagement.

And you said it. It goes beyond funds mismanagement although strongly a part of it. Gambling addiction is just all about the individual being unable to emotionally, and psychologically being able to regulate their behaviour for the greater good. Simple a inability to delay gratification of the self.

There is no fun anymore when you over-gamble. The fact that you maximize your time in gambling is not a good sign anymore since gambling is only intended for pleasure and fun, and not to serve as an actual source of income wherein you give a lot of time just to get your desired profits. When you see yourself gambling this way, then you should get worried immediately since there are more chances to lose if you take gambling seriously. It’s intended to bring us fun, not to make us worry and discomfort.

Over-gambling is relative. A gambler can still have fun when he over gamblers. It is a matter of how much you are earning. I have seen gamblers spend millions in a casino house and still live happily. The truth is no amount of money can equate to happiness so if you gamble and then have fun with it and then spend a limited amount on it then you are not doing anything improper. It would be very wrong for a gambler to gamble to become rich.

Gambling is not a good source of finance. It cannot be overemphasized that gambling is unpredictable and so it will be foolish for any gambler to hold on to gambling as a source of making money. Instead, get a job that earning is guaranteed. This is the only way you can live a good life.

What gambling are you doing that could lead you to play endlessly? As it's not like you're ever winning long term at a casino and you would easily grind through a lot of cash in the short term with things like slots. However I do see how you can get trapped into playing a game like poker for many hours and almost end up in a zombie like state. Playing when you're not focused and tired is a recipe for losing much more money, not to mention the silly mistakes that will creep into your game to further deplete your bankroll. If you're playing this much and feel it affecting you like that, it's probably wise to give yourself a couple weeks off - then you can establish whether you have a betting problem as you might face withdrawal symptoms.

It seems that things like this don't only happen to you because in fact there are still a lot of people who do that including myself when we are already focused on a game in gambling sometimes we forget about time which actually hampers other activities that we have planned before.
But this is difficult to stop when there is no awareness of oneself which is an important factor. This is why the importance of self-discipline is very mandatory because after all this must be considered as training that we must do so that we get used to disciplining ourselves and indeed I agree that we must need to know about self-awareness because after all regardless of whether we have free time or not when we are faced with a focus that is too far away and forget about time it will have a fatal impact and habits like this must be avoided immediately.
In the end, self-control in gambling is not only from the financial situation but many factors such as time and the level of our ambition must also be well regulated so as not to harm ourselves.

The best time to gamble is actually not when you have free time, but when you are in a good mood. You will not enjoy this game when you are not in a good mood, you are angry, tired, and such. If you force yourself to play, then it will only increase your chances of losing instead of enjoying it.

Many gamblers make wrong decisions when they are not feeling well. They are influenced by anger or something so they tend not to consider risks better. I'm trying to understand it from an experiential perspective, so I think the best time to enjoy this game is when you're in a good mood. It's up to you how you understand what I mean, but that's the experience I got.

[darkangel11]

Time flies when your on the table or in front of a machine. The only thing that's only faster than time is you quickly losing your bankroll for the night. I bet you'll be forced to go home before midnight if that happens. The problem is that you'll probably still suffer tiredness from lack of sleep since you were thinking of the money gone in an instant hehe.

It's very similar to the situation where you're addicted to any other activity like playing video games, or watching TV series. I know a guy who gets so addicted to it that when he gets a good series, he downloads whole season and watches until he drops and goes to sleep. When we had a series worth watching we'd often discuss it and I'd watch 2 episodes a day tops, but he'd watch 6 or more and then act like a zombie at work.
The only thing I can tell you OP is to change your habits or the habits will change you - for worse. You have to be the one in control. It's either that or your family and your health.

Indeed gambling is made to be played at a convenient time, not jost anytime. Even though many people may take it as a career job but not to all. Those who have other jobs may not take it as serious as thought because they have fewer time to spend on gambling online. Playing gamble at night after work may really affect you. You don't really need to spend much time on PC after work. Like me I usually sleep a little when am back from work when I was working, after taken some breaths I sleep and wake up at night and predict matches to play the next morning, before I wake up I have already staked the game and expecting to win before coming back from work.

I completely agree with you; it's much better to gamble when you're feeling well and relaxed. If you're nervous, anxious, or upset, it's currently always not the time to make significant financial decisions. It's also important to remember that gambling should be fun and entertaining, not only about winning.
One of the most important things to remember is to maintain perspective. It's easy to become engrossed in the thrill of gambling and perceive it as a method to generate money, but the reality is that the odds are usually stacked against you. That is why gambling should be viewed as an expense for entertainment, similar to going to the movies or eating out.

When you are relaxed and not doing anything, you can used your free time to playing gambling but don't playing gambling too long and used all of your free time to playing gambling because that can makes you difficult to stops your gambling activity. You can playing gambling moderately so you don't needs to spend too much money and not getting lose many times. Playing gambling is just for fun and not having much reason, especially to makes money which is difficult to gets. Many people already lose their money so you don't have to do the same things as them because you should responsible with your money.

That makes sense, I think mood also influences the game, when we gamble of course we have to be in a calm state of mind. Moreover, gambling when you are in a bad mood can actually make the gambling you do bad, with a greater chance of losing and in addition to being in a bad mood, it is possible for emotions to explode, and it is possible for bad emotions to arise. will make everything messy. Of course, gambling that is done with emotion will not be good.
Problems with gambling occur due to lack of self-control when gambling or because you are in a bad mood. When there is no self-control when gambling, decisions sometimes often occur but are not considered first, which makes everything messy, even though to avoid big losses in gambling we must be able to consider everything we will do, including taking action when gambling. . Many people make decisions without considering it first, resulting in quite serious problems.

That's right, gambling without having a time limit will only trigger a person to end up with an increased interest in gambling in the sense that over time you will find it difficult to ignore the slightest time not to gamble which in the end yes obviously you will gamble excessively and aggressively. The point is that you should only gamble when you have free time and you must make it a point that the gambling you are doing is only to relieve boredom in your free time meaning that when you have entered some other more important activities then obviously leave gambling.

However, gambling is not an activity that should be taken seriously, because everything there is nothing more than a game of chance and this is the reason why gambling is more recommended to be used as a place of fun when you have boring free time, and as you say that there are quite a lot of people who have become victims where they have experienced many bad effects and it is all due to the wrong treatment of gambling where they are too much.

gambling is most appropriate when someone uses their free time to gamble, for example on the weekend or when they finish work. by taking advantage of this free time, a gambler can make their gambling an activity that is more enjoyable and less burdensome for them. but when they play too much and don't think about the time, such as playing while working or at inappropriate hours, then gambling has become something that can lead to serious problems which can affect the gambler's life.

Really? Tell that to people who are professionally involved in gambling.
Tell that to pro poker or bridge players. These games are much more than simple gambling and you really have to be good to win in the long run. You can get lucky for a while, but consistency matters in these games.

It's a very simple advice that I agree with. If gambling influences your other activities and in a way takes over your life you should stop, but it's similar to any other destructive behavior. Even sports can be destructive if you come back in pain and risk a permanent injury. Everything is good in moderation.

Certainly, even if you have free time and focus on gambling you cannot guarantee that you will win. Gambling is not a place to generate income, but rather a place to ruin your plans because whenever you bet and the game ends on cut, you will not understand yourself and will think you should have used it for something better. gamble is for fun you should not be risking your money on gambling. It is better to take risk in another source, such as investment, trade, or other company that you can promise you will most likely earn from. not gamble whenever I bet on gambling it is not with significant money I just bet because I should support my club very well when playing to win the match. and not every time because if you addicted to bet he will be very difficult to stop gambling and you will be wasting your funds on it everyday.

[swogerino]

Oh how I have stopped but not at all because of free time rather because of consecutive after consecutive lost sessions.While many of you will think that it is normal to have bad luck in gambling let me tell that bad luck cannot go into infinity which is what happened to me these 3 months after 4 January 2024 up in March.I stopped one moment to think and I came to the conclusion that this is not what it means to gamble,you simply cannot have 3 straight months of bad luck and I think something is very wrong with how luck works in these f*cked up slot machines that all gamblers play,that is unbelievable,I remember when I used to go almost every day playing physical slots many years ago and I don't remember 3 consecutive months only losing there at all.
