Do you have these three elements when you want to gamble?

[qwertyup23]

The one I do not really have is the time, but I have the little amount of money that I am using to gamble which I can lose and not be unhappy about. I also have the motivation but because there is little time for me to gamble, it is just during weekends or sometimes I may not just gamble.

I would even consider having a relatively low amount of money as an advantage on your part especially that it forces you to discipline on your finances.

The elements posted by OP are typically the common ones that we expect every person to possess whenever they will engage into gambling. However, I would like to add my personal elements whenever I gamble, which are as follows:

• Discipline;
• Self-awareness; and
• Acceptance

The reason on why I posted those three (3) as my elements because they play a crucial role in my gambling activities. Without any of those elements, the triangle would collapse thereby causing addiction to slowly creep in. Perhaps I would even list acceptance as the most crucial element because without accepting defeat, the cycle of gambling would always continue on my end.

There are three elements I can think of that I should have before I start betting:


MONEY;
Of course, you need money to bet. Signing up for a casino is free, but betting costs money unless you want free bets, and you are limited to the casinos that you can find online.

TIME;
To enjoy your gambling experience, you have enough time; your time should be commensurate with the money you have.

MOTIVATION;
To fully concentrate on your enjoyment and your chances of winning, you need to have motivation; it's not worth spending your time and money if you don't have the motivation to gamble.

I make sure that I have all of these elements before betting, how about you do you have all these three elements before you start betting?

I can understand your list but i don't agree with the list especially motivation. Money and time matter, thats true but motivation is actually the most dangerous thing to bring into gambling. It is very easy for your motivation to shift from pure entertainment and thrill to "i want to win or i want to make money" once that becomes your new motivation, then you are done for it. Gambling is the last thing you should be motivated to do. And then having money doesnt mean you should gamble. it has to be money you are already okay with losing, not your life savings or money you are hoping to multiple through betting. Too much free time can actually lead to overplaying and chasing losses so you need to be strict with you betting time. Before betting ask yourself this "if i lose this money and stop right now, will i still be fine? if the answer is no, dont bet, you will not be doing yourself any good.

I think managing your time is fun, too, but for those who are addicted, it seems like one of those three things is being neglected, and the most unfortunate is time. They're so focused on the game that they sometimes don't make time for family. Yes, maybe they're too focused. As for motivation, I think it can vary, not always the same.

Every gamblers have enough time for gambling, it is impossible not to have time for gambling unless you are a robot or a machine who doesn't know how to take rest after a long way at work, you also have to sleep too, and even eat food, or go to the toilet, you are a human who isn't program without resting, which is why we have working hours and non working hours.

You sure that your motivation isn't all about winning? That's near impossible for gambler, how can a gambler gambles with motivation on having fun only? It is almost impossible because you don't need motivation to have some fun time, it is not hard to do, motivation is always about breaking the impossible, we use it in things that are hard to get.

Money is needed like you said but not a lot of money, many people can afford to gamble but are never certified with using small money, even those who can't afford high amount will still feel like using the higher amount is the best way to gamble, so that they can win a bigger amount of money.

[Queen uloma]

I totally agree with you, on the three element you've mention here, which all gamblers need to work on this element, A friend of mine told me that there are people that see gambling as there means of survival, this shows that they spend alot of time in gambling, which for me I'm not cool with it, because once a person is addicted to gamble it becomes a very big issues, anyone that says you need Millons to gamble is really deceiving you,  you can only use your discretionary income to avoid you spending much, or falling into depression, so for the motivation aspect I'm not cool with it because when a person is addicted to gambling, it will only take the grace  of God for he or she to come out of it.

having money, time, and motivation are definitely important before placing bets because without any one of them, the experience doesn’t feel complete and your chances of winning or even enjoying the game go down, and I always make sure that I know how much I can afford to spend and how much time I have to focus on the games because rushing usually leads to mistakes. Motivation also plays a big role because if you’re not really interested or focused on what you’re doing, then betting feels like a waste, and even though some people might just bet casually, I find that having all three elements in place makes it more enjoyable and sometimes profitable. So yes, I try to check that I have money set aside, time to play properly, and motivation before I start, otherwise I don’t even bother.

Time is an essential element that is often always overlooked gamblers… most gamblers think money is the only essential commodity that gamblers lose when gambling, without realizing that even the time lost in gambling is just as important or even more important than the money, because some gamblers use time meant for work to invest in gambling, which if invested in something that it was meant for could have been more productive, and then that time is just lose, just like that, never to be recovered, because time is the only commodity that can never be recovered if lose.

Motivation to play – I don't see my family giving me that kind of motivation; they can only motivate me to do other activities, which I can add gambling among. Aside from that, if my work is to be done from home, more of the time will directly be spent with family, and I will have a moderated one to spend on gambling.

Having money and time, they're all enough to gamble even if you don't have any motivation at all. Those who are not motivated to gamble, much better for them. Because they are not going to be pushy as they gamble and it only takes them to rest and won't spend their money in any gambling game. I think it should be kept like that if they at least need some stopper for their gambling activities. Having no motivation will keep them sane and there won't be any other reasons to blame with that if they are incomplete so they won't gamble.

If you didn’t have the motivation to gamble from the start but somehow still managed to log into your account and gambled a bit because you had the money and the time and at the end of the day the whole session didn’t go your way or as you had predicted, don’t you think such an individual would face more emotional stress such as regrets?  Compared to someone who was really motivated and if things didn’t as planned he simply can just brush it off and console himself that next time would be better, don’t you think this is a possibility too?

I honestly don’t know if what I wrote up is universally true but I know that that’s how I feel when I engage in an activity which insanely interested in or wasn’t motivated to do and then mess it up or it goes haywire, there’s this feeling of regret of even doing it in the first place, why didn’t I just leave it alone and come back some other time? So if this isn’t for me then motivation should be a good thing to have (although closely monitored).

Of the 3 elements you mentioned, I had 3 and still have some. But the thing is, if I lose a few bets in a row, I lose motivation. And currently, due to my busy schedule, I don't have time to gamble with concentration. As a result, if I can't gamble with concentration, I don't have fun playing. Still, I try to gamble when I have time, although I prefer playing casino games to sports betting.

Being active and have full concentration on gambling is the matter: that will also reduce the lose from gambling, but some people are very busy people and still want to join gambling after they knows that they will not have times to be always active; and anyone who want to be successful person any time they place a bet need to a create chance for himself to avoid failure in process of gambling.

And who said creating time for gambling would make you avoid failure in the process of gambling? (as you put it). It’s important to note that gambling success isn’t just about how much money or time you spend on it, but basically about how lucky you are. Yeah surely you may be able to increase your chances by spending time to analyze the games carefully before placing your bet, but this doesn’t in any way mean that it’ll fetch you a win, no it won’t, without luck, you’ll still end up losing.

It's possible that gambler can face stress and regrets if they are not motivated to gamble and yet, they still have gambled. They are bored but that doesn't mean they're not prone to emotional challenge. And so, they still have the feeling to reflect on the effect of their decision to gamble. But I think if someone is motivated, they gambled and lost, they'll be the one that shall feel more pain due to frustration.

I honestly don’t know if what I wrote up is universally true but I know that that’s how I feel when I engage in an activity which insanely interested in or wasn’t motivated to do and then mess it up or it goes haywire, there’s this feeling of regret of even doing it in the first place, why didn’t I just leave it alone and come back some other time? So if this isn’t for me then motivation should be a good thing to have (although closely monitored).

Those questions will definitely come out just after losing it, so that's the regret and thoughts that comes to our minds after we have gambled.

The three elements are very important to gamblers to embrace before entering gambling, you need funds to play any kind of games that will bring you luck to celebrate because every gamblers that won from gambling always celebrate his or her self for making it from gambling, without funds you cannot gamble to earn funds, meaning you cannot win without you using funds to play your games,  secondly, time is very important to gamblers in the gambling center because they need time to select games that will bring good result , with time you can research about a particular teams that are active in winning matches in premier League or UEFA champion League before gamble, and all those things need time before you can achieve what you want from gambling, other gamblers winning can motivate you to position yourself in a winning way because you have learned from their winning to motivate yourself to summon courage, which is what motivation can do to the life of gamblers that are about to loose hope on gambling.

[LastKiss]

~snip~
other gamblers winning can motivate you to position yourself in a winning way because you have learned from their winning to motivate yourself to summon courage, which is what motivation can do to the life of gamblers that are about to loose hope on gambling.

Seeing other gamblers win can truly be a double-edged sword. On one side, it can serve as motivation to learn more, improve strategies and approach gambling with patience and discipline. Watching successful gamblers can encourage careful planning and a more thoughtful use of funds. In this sense, their success can inspire growth and a more calculated approach to gambling. On the other side, however, those same winnings can create unrealistic expectations. They may push some gamblers to spend more money than they can afford, driven by the hope of achieving the same results in a short period of time. This kind of motivation can quickly turn into pressure, impatience and loss of control

[Nahl]

I think i have all of those elements and short explanation based in my view that if no money involved i think it cannot says we were gambling so, money is important element to starting gambling which i think every gamblers should have that but indeed the difference is those who called active gambler probably have huge capital of money and for the time too that the gamblers always spare their time for their hobbies to gamble because this activity can satisfied them especially if lucky and won and for the last element is motivation i am sure while gamble all of the gamblers in the world has same motivation that they were starting to gamble because want to earn money even those who considers gambling for fun and entertainment will gladly accept if they won money from gambling

An active gambler doesn't need huge capital to keep him on the game. What he needs is discipline and self control in order for him to manage his bankroll properly. I set up a gambling budget which I can use to gamble every day till I get my next pay. The money is a little amount that I can afford to lose.

To fully concentrate on your enjoyment and your chances of winning, you need to have motivation; it's not worth spending your time and money if you don't have the motivation to gamble.

I make sure that I have all of these elements before betting, how about you do you have all these three elements before you start betting?

Regarding the first two, everything seems pretty clear. The motivation part isn't entirely clear. Should there be one? For me, it's an unnecessary factor. I play for fun and the chance to win. That should be the norm, not some other element. The lure of quick and easy money. That's another reason people go to casinos. You practically don't have to put in any effort. People don't like doing that. They want everything at once.

Yes you are correct but their are still some very vital elements missing out which one of it is discipline, discipline is like a mother to all because it what keeps you on a saver path and sustain you from gambling addiction.

Secondly, to me I got all the elements that is being stated earlier but the only one am likely more limited to is time because of the nature of my work,  but I always make sure I create out time no matter my busy schedule to stake some few games over the weekend.
