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

[Text]

I agree for me these three elements really go hand in hand,  I usually make sure I have some extra money that I can afford to lose cause I don’t like  to get stress if I lose. Time is also important especially if I just want to relax and enjoy the game without rushing. As for motivation it’s usually more about entertainment for me rather than chasing a big win as long as I’m in the right mindset I can enjoy gambling responsibly.

[tread93]

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?

Usually, no, no and no. haahah. I don't have motivation to go and gamble really much at all. I guess that is a good thing, right? Right now I definitely don't have the extra income to do this and I sure as heck don't have the extra time to do it much either without sacrificing something here! No for me my money is currently claimed by bills and other projects, time is taken up for the most part worknig and supporting my fam, and my motivation is really elsewhere as I am locked in getting in shape right now and if I gambled I'd probably drink which I have also cut out of my life for the time being.

[Wiwo]

At least to so.e level,  i have all of those things mentioned,  but what i lack is not in the list, but time may co.e close to it but not the main thing that i am lacking which is greed interference when the game is either going for ar against me, this make me really sick and tired when such actions take me out of my gambling session untimely.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I do make sure that I have all of these too before I start, if there's no motivation to gamble, I don't force it, if there's no time to gamble, I don't force it and if I don't also have any money that I specifically allocate for gambling, I don't also tamper with the money that I have kept for something else. Some persons feels more fulfilled if they gambled at the right time, risking the amount that they can afford to lose at a good leisure time when they know that there's no distraction, the person will enjoy the thrill if everything is intact.

Money and time is enough for me. I don’t need much motivation as i don’t make bets to create an income for myself from gambling. Since I mostly play to have fun, i can easily spend my motivation on something else that can generate me a reliable cash flow. I limit my monthly max bet amount so i don’t blow my finances up. Time is also a commodity and it should be spent wisely. I know gambling is fun and we all want to have fun sometimes but it is impossible to have fun all the time right? We gotta work and make money too. Everything gets easier once you start managing your resources properly.

[JunaidAzizi]

The elements you mentioned are the basic things that a person needs in gambling. However, you included one thing that does not need to be written here and one thing that you forgot to mention. A person cannot engage in any kind of betting without money; even I think it does not fall under the elements, as it is something that is beyond the elements because you can't have betting thoughts without money. Secondly, you forgot about the strategy, in betting, a strategy is very necessary. You need to have a plan for both entering and exiting, considering your losses and profits.

[Tungbulu]

I’m  afraid it takes more than the 3 elements you listed above to enjoy gambling. Just because a gambler has money, time and what? Motivation doesn’t mean he’ll enjoy gambling, sure with the 3 elements, any gambler can play, but to really enjoy your gambling experience SELF CONTROL AND DISCIPLINE should be added to the list, because these are the elements that helps you effectively manage your time and money effectively, so as not to misuse your time and money. Most people have time and money but all these ain’t able to make it worth the while for you as you could end up using time and money meant for other things for gambling, thereby resulting to time and money mismanagement, and these are the last things you need if you’re to enjoy gambling.

[Pandu Geddon]

I have all three, although I guess almost every gambler must have them. Even if only a few, gamblers might try to have all three. 
I have a small amount of money for gambling. Therefore, I only gamble on weekends. That is enough for me. It's different for those who gamble almost every day, even briefly. They certainly also need a sufficient fund allocation for their bets.

Another thread without SKILL and STRATEGY

Like how do you guys think a gambler is going to make money if they don't even understand the kind of games they are betting on and what's their cutting edge. You will make money as a gambler when you put all your effort in understanding one type of gambling than when you try to be a jack of all trade. I have been there and I have done that and my result suck, I lose more than I was able to recover, I loss alot of money even with everything I was doing.

In anything you are doing in gambling, make sure that you know how to gamble, you should double down on the game you are playing. If the first one doesn't work, try another option. Playing the same strategy over and over may not bounce you back. That strategy can get you tired and even become an addicted gambler, it's kind of make people practice reverse gambling and then end up losing everything.

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

Time is what I see as more important out of the three listed. Motivation is tied to time because if you are not motivated in something you won't create the time for it. Then, money? How much money do we think it requires to gamble or bet? Just very infinitesimal especially in off line gambling where you don't need to deposit like in casinos before you can bet. Of course in online betting, it is bet as little as you can.

So back to time which is paramount in gambling, you need it to be able to research on the games you want to bet, you need time sometimes if you are the type that watch match to update yourself on the performance and history of teams to help in your focast. Time is important as far as gambling is concern, apart from watching the match life, you also use time to check your bets if they are winning or losing, very important.

[mcdouglasx]

I would expand it to these three:


Money: If you have enough money that you can easily do without if you lose at gambling.
Time: Leisure time that doesn't interfere with social responsibilities, like going to your child's game or attending your best friend's birthday party.
Motivation: Only if this motivation doesn't come with toxic behavior, like a need, for example: "I need more money to buy X item or pay off X debt".

We all know that gambling is all about money and if you don't have money he will not have any comfort in gambling so I believe that one of the factors that makes us to feel reluctant in gambling is when we have no finance, money is Motivator at the money is also time in gambling, so it is something some of us don't understand in gambling that money is everything and it is something that to make you to be serious because when you don't have it you will not be interested and you not to be conscious in any kind of gambling that you want to partake, some of us today that participate in gambling what give them the courage to be a gambling addict it is because of money and the one that they have lost and they don't intend to lost such that is what push so many of the gamblers to be desperate Gambler because of what they have lost

[I_Anime]

First you are right these element are quite crucial when come to gambling , like the money you can’t gamble without having enough funds to spare . So that you won’t gamble with money you can’t afford to lose and stuff . Even time , this is where planning comes in gambling not something one need to do frequently, so you need to have time you can work with , while motivation is a personal thing and stuff .

[LDL]

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.

Just like you, I have enough motivation and money to not be mentally broken if I lose. But one thing that is not real money is the time I have to spend gambling. I try to spend whatever time I have on weekends with my family during the busy workday. It is very difficult to find time to gamble, which is why people do not participate in gambling simply because they do not have the time, despite having the motivation and money.

Yes, it's true that these 3 key elements you just mentioned above (i.e Money, Time & Motivation), are crucial for any  individual who intends to gamble effectively on any casino. Because since casinos are not charitable organizations that give out free money, money is actually needed to be risked, with a mindset of winning a higher amount if you are able to predict and it's outcome goes just as predicted. And in other to be able to predict and analyze a game, you equally needs time, which is why it's crucial for those who intend to be successful in gambling, time needs to be spent. Hence, I agree that these 3 factors are important in the success of any gambler.

If you don't want to have trouble with your gambling habit, then, yes, one should consider those elements and make sure you are not going overboard. It may keep you grounded if you will always take note of those factors before you start rolling those bets. On my end, I always remind myself that once my allocated budget is already busted, no matter how I want to continue the game, I need to pause and just call it a day.

[Cookdata]

I have 4 element, fire, water, earth and air, I'm Avatar and I change to any of the state when I'm in the mood.  Just playing

You don't need money and to need money. With enough money which of course you can afford to lose, you don't need to struggle on playing multiple games, bet your money on less risk games with reasonable amount and you are done, you just watch and see how it turns out. It's only when you risk small amounts of money and then you arrange plenty of bets trying so hard to win 20 games with just $10 to get $2000, make it make sense if that's going to be that easy.

However, even if you don't have much money you can gamble your small money and do your thing your way. If you have the right strategy to make money, you can achieve it but the more risk you take the less chance you are going to win a bet.

[alani123]

These are prerequisites other than just simple elements

If you lack either of the three how are you even going to gamble?
You can spin slots without money on thousands of different games and apps but that doesn't really count as gambling.
Gambling is when you spend money.

And if you lack the time or motivation you are not going to do it anyway.
But it's worth considering you can save your time and money sometimes also so I guess that's where OP is trying to get to

[Nwada001]

Before I gamble, I usually have the 3, but they are not always available, which is why I do have limited gambling options. Anytime I have both money and time available, the motivation to gamble will always come as long as I don't have other things to do with the time, but on days when I don't have spare money for gambling but I have time, it will be a break period for me. Such 3 elements are indeed what one needs all in order to kick-start a gambling journey.

[Nathrixxx]

Having money to use for gambling alone is a motivation on us to take on gambling, while how we spent our time also determine the level of what we see from it in return, value your time and be positively motivated to play games base on the money we have with us for this same purpose.
