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

[Cantsay]

I think most people would lack time, as do I. There are times when there’s money and the motivation to play some games but then there won’t be any time for us to do it. So whenever I’m at my gambling account I do have all three of them, I would never gamble when I know I have something important to do and the same goes for money, I won’t gamble when I know that I don’t have enough money to spare while for motivation, if there’s no motivation then there will be no reason for me to even log into my account to gamble at all. I have refrained from using gambling as a means to try and escape the harsh reality of life, the few times I tried it I know what it cost me and because of that I have made up my mind to only gamble when I feel like gambling and not because I am looking for what to use to divert my attention from something.

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 don't think that you need motivation to start gambling. People need money and time for gambling but don't need motivation because people who gamble don't need to motivation, they gamble to make a profit or because of addiction. People need motivation to quit gambling, but don't need motivation to gamble. When people have sufficient cash and don't find any ways to spend that type of person's should gamble.

[Hispo]

Time and motivation are the ones which I mostly struggle with, to be honest. Money is not a problem, because one can always go with a minimum to one's preferred casino.
I could have a budget and time, but still sometimes I do not feel motivated to log into my account and gamble away my money, in those occasions I have felt rather bored of gambling I see to do other things which could entertain me in a different way, like watching a movie, playing video games or even drawing something.

Also, there are people who place money as their motivation and they do not explicitly go to their casino for the sake of entertainment, there is where addiction and chasin losses start. It is better not to gamble at all if one does not have the right motivation from the very beginning, just my two satoshis on this matter.

[death69]

I used to think like that. All in line, money, time, motivation. Then I knew that it is motivation that makes it slippery. How do you define gambling motivation? I have sat at money and time but inspired by tediousness, by irritation at my work, by the desire to experience something more acute than the dullness of the day. That is the pseudo excitement of sedation.

The casinos have already figured your three elements. They are aware that you will arrive with money (stolen out of wages that barely sustain life). They are aware that you will find some time (stolen sleep or family or yourself). But motivation? They manufacture that. The lights, the sounds, the near misses that have been programmed into slot algorithms. The product thereof sold to you as motivation, back to you as of your desire.

[shasan]

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.

Perhaps time is the element that you really need since a 3 losing streak bet usually won’t break a motivation to bet instead it makes gambler eager to bet more until they experienced a win.

The lack of time to play makes you less tolerant on the losses since you have something to do aside from gambling.

I’m on this same situation before that work overload my whole time. I have less appetite to gamble even if there’s a lot of cool promotion available since I have my job priorities over an entertainment.

We may consider 3 loses in a row as a nothing but a common thing but what will happen if there is 8 to 9 or even more loses. I do not think there might have any way to stop loss and in this way i can only stop if i lise all of my miney inclufing the fund which is used to consider almost nothing.

[Fiatless]

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?

Money is not an impediment to my gambling activities since I can always use an amount I can afford to lose at a given time. Time is my biggest constraint because I don't have the time to accurately analyse and predict games. Two things motivate me to keep gambling: entertainment and money.  I want to enjoy my gambling time, but I am also expecting to win during the course of playing.

[criptoevangelista]

The only element I consider is money. I personally really like money; I think about it practically all day long, so the chance to win some money motivates me and makes me move forward with my plans, my bets, my investments. Obviously, I don't make betting and gambling a source of income, but rather an attempt based on luck to win some money... basically, that's it.

[Patikno]

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?

The three elements you mentioned are indeed important to adhere to, and I think the most important of the three is time. This means having the right time, not interfering with other priority activities, and being able to do it in the spare time. Second most important to me is money, after managing our time, we must manage our money when gambling, because everything we do when gambling requires money to bet. Third or the final is motivation, after preparing the other two, we must realize that our gambling activities must be motivated by entertainment. We also need to consider our winnings as additional entertainment, so we can enjoy the entertainment whether we win or lose.

Personally, I believe that these three elements are essential before betting or gambling, as some of these things can provide enjoyable entertainment, even making us feel comfortable in future gambling sessions. Perhaps we can think of these three elements as the path to healthy gambling, or responsible gambling. We need to implement it.

I only need money to finish up my bet, i dont need time because in the past, ive wasted my time doing some analysis and stuffs like that so i only pick the prediction once glancing through various matches within minutes, i dont need any motivation, it wont save me or make me win or loss, what needed to happen will still occur no matter what.
i can spend 5 minutes predicting my game and i am done, i dont need hours anymore, its time wasting.

[Orpichukwu]

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.

I think the money is the most important thing among the 3 listed since you can't gamble if you don't have the money. Even if there is time, that money will also be what will help you be motivated, as the play result usually determines how we will react: if winning will motivate us to try more or if we will have to quit and focus on something else.

You can be motivated with the availability of the funds to use for your gambling but may not have the time available for it and because the time is not there you can't really gamble as you would have wanted. The motivation, time and the funds wouldn't change the outcome of the games and it's not what I think the OP is talking of but that for you to gamble you must have these 3 elements. Before you even decided to gamble it's because you have the time, and something may have stimulated you to decide to gamble at that moment,  whether you picking the games by just glancing at it.

[GiftedMAN]

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.

That is very smart move, if most gamblers can be able to act like you, it will really help them to avoid getting addicted because of chasing losses but they won't, there are some gamblers that don't even have time even on weekends but they will still make or create time just for them to gamble instead of creating time for them to rest and do some meaningful things that will add value to their lives positively, rather than gambling and their motivation is to get rich from it not to even gamble for fun or entertainment but they gamble to become successful through it, which will lead them to experience most side effects of gambling irresponsibly.

[ruykeri]

When you have money and time, if you bet once or twice and win, you will not need any motivation after that. The joy of winning will force you to bet again and again. Having money is the most important thing for gambling. After that, time comes automatic. Now, betting online does not take so much time. It has become much easier. That is why betting is becoming so popular. However, responsible gamblers are very rare. External motivation is needed to gamble responsibly and to control emotions while gambling.

[Ever-young]

There’s nothing wrong gambling to unwind after a stressful day or week, but when the intention is solely to make some profits, then it becomes a problem.

Gambling was initially created for the purpose of fun, fun first and then stand a chance to earn some bucks while at it and not the other way around. When fun and entertainment is prioritized, you put yourself in a position where you’ll be able to make more informed choices, plus you get to avoid experiencing unintended losses.

[rakebit]

Good question, for me it’s usually about mindset, bankroll, and discipline. If any of those three are off, the session rarely goes well. Emotions and tilt can ruin solid strategy faster than bad odds.

What would you say is the most important element for you before placing a bet?

[Z_MBFM]

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.

Without these three elements, no one goes to gamble. Of course, everyone needs these three elements to gamble. And I think every gambler has these three elements because if you don't have money, how will you gamble? On the other hand, you have to give time behind it. You must have motivation, otherwise gambling will seem boring to you. In the case of gambling, people have a lot of motivation, due to which a person becomes addicted to gambling very quickly. Although it will find a place in entertainment, the greed for money forces it to be taken as a profession. And many people take it as their career and spend time here constantly. Some may win well from here, but I don't think it is permanent. And finally, everyone starts blaming gambling and not blaming themselves.

[Odusko]

Sometimes, shit happens and we don't have any other choices but to play along with the reality of the time to stay at some level of balance ground while we are gambling, but the most important element for anyone is to get the motivation and decipline to control your urge and put in place things that mandate you to always stay ahead to avoid addictions.

[Dunamisx]

Motivation, money and time are very essential when it comes to gambling, placing priority on them to align with our target and interest in gambling is very important, so as to make things work as we have wanted for us, sometimes, the money may be available but we lack the time or motivation to play, which is why the three works in hand to make a perfect match for us as a compliment for a successful gambling experience.

Enough, that's the basics. These three elements summarize all the reasons outlined for why someone gambles.
If you don't have money, you might be able to play on a demo account, but it won't be as engaging as it's not challenging.

The same goes for time and motivation to play. Without time, there's no motivation. Having a pre-planned time, even if it's slightly off, will make the experience more enjoyable.
But there's one thing you need to remember after agreeing on these three elements: don't gamble while intoxicated.

Sometimes you only need two things, namely money and time, I don't have the motivation to play, I can just play at the casino, because maybe I'm bored with my situation so I play without motivation.

Motivation should provide enthusiasm for your game, and that is not the case in some of my gambling activities, when I have motivation I have to have high targets and expectations and sometimes get very annoyed if it doesn't meet expectations.
