If gambling is just entertainment, can you limit it to weekends only?

[Obim34]

if we really treat gambling as entertainment, something we do in our free time, shouldn’t it be only during our days off?
Like instead of playing every day, maybe it makes more sense to gamble only on weekends.

What about games in the Champions League and Europa League that plays during the week? Creating a good parlay doesn't take much time, 30 minutes of free time is enough, or 1 hour of break time mid-work.

Limiting gambling to weekend isn't a perfect gambling practice if you think so, weekends are best preferred to bet on because of those who will enjoy watching their parlay run live, or considering bankroll management to serve for weekend.

Can you actually do that? Or once you’re into betting, is it hard to limit it to weekends only?

How you guys handle this?

Yes, i can do that but it isn't necessary, I wouldn't miss out on a good odd because it is weekday, even with limited free time, i can create one that won't interfere with my work.

I do schedule all my gambling activities now on weekends since my work doesn’t permit me to have a free time for entertainment purposes. I’m already tired when at home which I don’t have any appetite to gamble.

But I do gamble on weekdays if my workload is not heavy while there’s a casino promotion that’s I want to avail.

Having fun or entertainment doesn’t need to be on weekends. It depends on your free time availability since some gamblers have a weekdays day off or have minimal work.

Had it all happened in the physical casino - weekend scheduling would be easy and maintainable. Gamblers now have casinos in their palms, quick predictions can even be done right in the office. Doing the weekend only type of gaming could result to the kind of self restrictions that ignites anxiety.

Gambling in leisure time  does not mean that we only do it on weekends. We can do  it at night after a day's work. We  can also gamble when we have not any work to do.

Personally, I usually gamble  at night. I like to bet on various football matches. I can bet on them and enjoy the matches at the  same time. Also , if I am free on weekends , I can go to the casino. But I rarely do that. If my friends force  me, I go to the casino. This way we can hang out and gamble at the same time.

Each person creates their own schedule for gambling. When a person gets home from work, they are free to have fun however they want, as long as they are responsible and use money they can afford to lose. For example, I see nothing wrong with someone spending 30 minutes every day after work gambling at an online casino and then spending time with their family, as long as that person is using money they can afford to lose and can always spend more time with their family.

Everything in life, when used rationally and with planning, doesn't create problems. There are people who really enjoy playing video games and play them when they get home from work. But they aren't addicted to video games because they play every day in moderation and responsibly.

Just gambling on weekends can be quite fun. If you take it as a real pastime & dont run after making money, then the fun will increase even more. It is important to set a time &  budget limit for good gambling. Also, many casinos offer options like time out or self exclusion, through which you can distance yourself for a few days. I usually use a weekly bankroll &  a session limit together,  only use a portion of that fixed amount on the weekend. Also, if I see that the attraction to the game is increasing in the middle of the week, I dont go overboard.. I think energy &   patience are a much better option than impulse

[nara1892]

Yes, and if a gambler truly treats gambling as a form of entertainment, then limiting their gambling activity shouldn't be a problem.
I also gamble every weekend when I'm off work, and I usually do it after my family time is over. It doesn't last long, maybe just a few minutes, or at most 30 minutes.

If we truly only consider it entertainment, we certainly won't prioritize it. This means implementing the problem isn't a problem. But if a gambler can't do that, I'm sure they're addicted.

There's no place it has ever been that entertainment should only take place at the weekends, we are rather expected to gamble at the best time we think is more suitable for us to do so, gambling can be done at anytime by any one at any day, just as some of us already highlighted some points as reasons not to only gamble on weekends, seeing this as an entertainment, we should know it's all about finding the best time for doing it, because sometimes, we could also be much engaged on weekends.

I think you are misinterpreting this, It is not a matter of the gambling place but of the individual or gambler himself who wants to play on the weekend. I think your thinking like this is not worthy of being an example,
with a reason not to just gamble on the weekends. If you do a lot of gambling activities for several days every week, it will actually have a bad impact on you, especially on your finances, and you could become addicted later on. In this case, I think Op is correct in managing or maintaining his gambling It's only done on weekends. This is much better compared to your suggestion of playing almost all the time.

For me gambling is only entertainment. I have never started my gambling session being serious and oriented on winning money. I haven never said to my family that right now I am going to gamble, so please dont interrupt or distract me. I can easily limit it to weekends only, sport events only (Olympic Games, National football championship), play only when I am with friends. I even prefer offline gambling among friend with symbolic bet, than gambling seriously online or at the casino. Life conversation and a good company, accompanied with a game of cards = one of best ways of entertainment for me.

You are right dude. Gambling has become easier now because of online casinos. We can now easily participate in gambling on mobile or computer. So we don't have to  wait for the weekend to participate  in gambling only during our free time. We can participate  in gambling anytime using our mobile. So we can continue gambling even in short free time. But if we consider the aspect of physical casinos then it is okay to go once a week. I personally do not  like physical casinos. Because I find it difficult to win money in casinos. I  lose money most of the time. Because there is very little time to make  decisions here.

It should be that way, but we are living in stressful times, and we want a place where we can take the stress away whenever we want, and where we want it. This is why those who can afford it gamble whenever they want, for fun and a chance to make money.
The recommendation has always been on weekends, but it really depends on your free time and the money you have available. If you have the means and are the kind of guy who wants an escape from stress, then it's your call when you want it.

I do tend to gamble more on weekends, although sometimes I also gamble on weekdays. But for a short time, and even then, I do it rarely. If we can limit the gambling activities we do, I think that would definitely be good. Not only would it make our finances more controlled, but the most noticeable benefit is the time we allocate to gambling. We can have enough rest after a tiring workday, instead of using our break time for gambling.

If that's your preference then you do you, I don't see any reason why not.

Of course it's possible. It just depends on whether you are disciplined enough to control yourself. Just like you said, if you treat it only as entertainment, then it shouldn't be a problem (as long as you do it responsibly and in moderation). As for me, it's the opposite. I'd like to reserve all of my time to spend with my family during the weekends, so I only gamble if I have free time during the weekdays (and only when I feel like it).

[aylabadia05]

Of course I can. Saturday and Sunday are the days I place my bets, and those are the only days I enjoy betting. So the answer is yes.

Saturday and Sunday are always my favorite days because I can bet on them because there are so many big matches in several major leagues.
Gambling on anything other than sportsbooks isn't as appealing, so even if I don't play, it doesn't remind me of it.
This has been going on for a long time, and it continues to be the case today, and perhaps in the future.

[aioc]

You can still play every day and treat it as entertainment, as long as your gambling session never interferes with your work, and you play with money that you can afford to lose.
Every gambler is different from one another; there is no rule on how and when you play and the money that you spend, so gambling on the weekend should not be a rule.

[Apocollapse]

Wait, who gamble for everyday? I thought people mostly gamble once a week or two times a week if they really have much free time.

If someone gamble for everyday it means they're either jobless or gambling addict, people don't have much free time because we have to work, doing other jobs and sleep. I even hard to find a free time for me to gamble, I do have free time, but I use it for taking short nap, without taking short nap I'm not able to focus on my thing.

The games are not also limited to weekends, so I don't think that gamblers will just follow a certain path like that. Maybe there are games in the weekdays that it's very good that you are going to win. So why not bet on it?

So it's going to be still a entertainment for us, regardless if it's week days. The best thing is that you enjoy it, no pressure at all to just bet on certain days. You can have that weekend off and maybe not bet and used that time for your family.

We can but the question is should we? It also depends on what type of gambling you are referring to.
I do causal gambling as a way of relaxing my brain where I don't have to think much and when I'm into it, the stress on the mind takes a rest. Evening after long day are the great time for gambling that way. On the other hand, sports betting need attention and planning so I prefer doing them in the late night or morning.
As for weekend, it would be my day off mostly as I would have other ways to keep myself contained.
In short, if I want I could but I don't think that's a better idea. If we are to limit our gambling, it should be done in the amounts and time not by limiting the days.

[Mayor of ogba]

I don't know if it's easy for other gamblers who treat gambling as a way of having fun or entertainment to be gambling only on weekends because there are gamblers who will prefer to be entertained or have fun anytime there are football features, but as for me, I only gamble on weekends and Champions League week.

Well, this is where the behavior of responsible gamblers lies, we understand that everyone has different ways and views about their goals in gambling, addiction is a serious category, while those who gamble just for fun are those who gamble only in their spare time.

I have a goal of gambling to get rid of boredom or have fun and I saw him gambling actually on office holidays when office activities were off, which means I found that kind of gambler.

As I said above, the point is that sometimes I also limit my gambling, betting on certain football clubs such as Saturday and Sunday schedules only.
