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

[Alphakilo]

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.

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

It is quite difficult to limit gambling activities and to only the weekends because the weekends are for those who work 9-5 everyday each week to earn a salary or for some who earn some profit from doing personal business.
That's why the weekend is mostly for rest and doing laundry not a serious work day.
This being said means that those who gamble increase their activity based on how engaged they are, irrespective of the weekend rule or not. 
Gambling is supposed to be for entertainment and anyone can entertain themselves whenever they want at their discretion.

The question is that most of us only entertain ourselves on weekends. As for me, entertainment should be every day, as long as we have free time to entertain ourselves. That is the reason why we don’t need to limit our gambling activities to weekends. Everyone knows the best time to entertain themselves, and that is why they don’t need to move their gambling activities only to the weekend.but the only reason I feel that someone should not gamble regularly is because they might get addicted. If someone gambles too often, it’s possible that they may not be able to control themselves again.

This is a very nice question, I have been meaning to ask this question for Long but it always Skip my mind whenever I tried asking. You know I'm this set of gambler that only gamble during weekend I don't usually bet during mid-week unless my favorite team have a midweek match and we know that this doesn't happen more often and sometimes even though my favorite team have a midweek match I will just Skip them that's if I'm busy with work but if this happen when I'm off from work then I will just bet them. But it surprises me when I see people betting from Sunday-sunday without even skipping some days, and it is obvious that those gamblers that normally go with this method are those set of gamblers who are jobless.

I generally bet when I see an opportunity and think it's a great chance to win money. So, for me, weekends are completely irrelevant. I need a match and a game to bet on, but I also find plenty of reasons why it's better than other bets and will bring me profit in the long run. I might end up losing, but at least I'm doing what I think and I enjoy it. That's why I gamble: to test my strategies and knowledge, and to have fun. So, weekends are completely irrelevant to me; I can play much less; it all depends on the tournaments.

I can limit my gambling and only do it on the weekends, there's no need to gamble every day even if it's a small amount.
Gamble on weekends with sports betting because there are a lot of matches on weekends, right? Well there I do a small amount of betting... if I win I can continue betting and if I lose I stop waiting for next week again.

But if there are League and UCL matches then it will split the bankroll.
$10 for league bets
$10 for UCL bets.

Yes, why not! I don't see any practical reasons why can't we, unless we are talking about someone who is really addict to gambling.

But in real world not everyone sees it as purely as a form of entertainment. For some it's a money printing machine where you can make infinite money. Something that can make you millionaire overnight. This kind of thinking leads to excessive gambling. Hence one cannot limit it to weekends only. But if are referring to someone who isn't an addict or don't have that kind of mindset, then yes they can easily do that. And of course, everything I said, is only from my personal point of view. Others might have different perspective.

Normally, i bet mostly on weekends because that is when they play many sports events especially football games, the reason for this is that you will have many options of events to bet on. Any game that you are not convinced about your prediction on it, you can conveniently choose another game. However, gambling is still for entertainment regardless whether you bet on daily events or weekend events. Everyone have days they find convenient to gamble and have fun so it's not only on weekends.

Gambling can be done anytime, especially at online casinos. Physical casinos may only be accessible on weekends because from Monday to Friday we are working and have little time to play at casinos.

However, today we live in a modern world where time and place are more flexible for gambling. It can be done anytime and anywhere, as long as you have money, a smartphone, and internet access. Regarding time management, weekends are indeed better, but it depends on how you prefer it.

We don’t only get entertainment on weekends, after a work day you can have your entertainment, your entertainment is when you like to have it. Although most of my gambling are on weekends not because that’s when I want my entertainment but because I am likely to be tired to gambling after a day of stressful work and if I do gamble it is not as fun as when I am not stressed out.
If you can gamble responsibly you can gamble when you want, also be responsible with money.

yes you can limit to it as long as you're a disciplined person. Because why would you prioritize a thing that is for entertainment during weekdays, 'cause a wise and responsible man wouldn't think about gambling but instead, they will focus on earning more money. Having fun through gambling is just a side quest for some people and those are the most ethical and disciplined people. They know the risks and consequences regarding gambling so they won't commit too much and will just threat it as entertainment. It's not that hard to be honest, we just need to be careful and see that gambling isn't a good way to earn, it's just for fun and thrill.

for me it really depends on mindset if you honestly see gambling as pure entertainment then yeah in theory should into for weekend only same as going to the movies or hanging out with friends, no pressure no chasing wins just enjoy only but in reality once you get into betting sometimes hard to limit not cause of immediate addiction but you know the games run every day, promos every day and sometimes boredom hits  so if no discipline you’ll get easily hook.

There are some people that gamble only in the weekend while others are regular gamblers. Those who gamble at the weekend also budget their finances like that and separate funds for the weekend to predict top leagues while the regular gamblers play different games. Virtual to live matches daily. Some stay in the hall throughout the day gambling. Owing credit all over. The regular gamblers can't limit their time and only the weekend gamblers can do that.

[criptoevangelista]

I don't gamble every day, at most once a week, sometimes twice. I try not to gamble so frequently to avoid addiction, since we all know that when there's an addiction, it becomes difficult to control... I know people who gamble all the time, they even borrow money to gamble... I would never want to reach that level of addiction, so I try to take care of myself as much as possible.

If gambling is entertainment, then why should you participate one day a week? Instead, you participate according to your plan and enjoy the entertainment the way you want. But the most important thing is how many hours you will spend entertaining yourself, which depends on your personal preferences. If you like to do sports betting, how can you participate considering only one day off in a situation where your favorite sport may not be available on the weekend?

That is, how many days a week you participate will depend on your control and how much you allocate to your gambling budget. Since you will take it as entertainment, you will have to participate with this perspective of gambling entertainment. You will never participate in it as a source of income, in which case you will deviate from your entertainment perspective.

That's not a reason to limit it to weekends only. Gambling is something we choose ego do at our leisure hours. Most times during the week we might have to attend to work or business so may not be able to gamble as much. During the weekend, it's usually time to spend time with family and friends and we might be able to put gambling in if time permits. For me I usually gamble any time I'm free during the day, when I have less work on my desk, I just go ahead to toss a few rounds for the fun. Then at times before I go to bed I play some crash to end the day. Bit it all depends on if I have spare cash to use for gambling..

I have seen people into sportsbets play only on weekends because most games are played then maybe that can be considered gambling for fun from what you stated. I can't limit it to weekends but I can go a full week without playing a game and can go a full week with all day occupied by slots or sports games. Entertainment wasn't meant for weekends only.

The debate about gambling being for entertainment or not is still very strong so you will expect responses for or against but we know large number of people believe gambling is not done for fun. I see the point that you are coming up with to say why not have the fun once in a while instead of all the time, week in week out like a real gambler going for determined cash out. So I believe people don't go for recreation or fun stuff daily but to be on your casino every day, perhaps you are not doing it for fun or entertainment.

Honestly, it can be done, but it’s way harder than it sounds. I tried telling myself “only weekends” last year. First week was fine, felt kinda proud even. But then a random Wednesday hit, I was bored, stressed from work, and boom I was back scrolling odds like a zombie.

For me the problem wasn’t the schedule, it was the impulse. Weekends-only only worked once I started tracking my urges and literally deleting the apps Mon Fri. Felt stupid at first lol but it helped.
So yeah, it’s doable, but u gotta be real with yourself. If you’re already slipping into daily betting, weekends only might feel like swimming against the current.

We don’t only get entertainment on weekends, after a work day you can have your entertainment, your entertainment is when you like to have it.

The weekend is meant for workers who go to work from day to day to have their rest. They can decide what to do with it. For those who always have time, they can always gamble and get entertained whichever every day of the week they consider comfortable for them and not for them to reserve a specific period for gambling activities, entertainment don't have specific period when it could be enjoyed.

[Gentle_Soul]

We can't be limited to gambling only on weekends, because not all the games we are playing holds on weekends, some are on weekdays, secondly, if it was truly well admitted that gambling is fun to do, then we shou9ne limited or restricted to gambling at a particular time or days, it has to be from our own conclusion to choose between when we are going to gamble and when not to, we live in a free world and must not be abused the same way we can't be denied the freedom to fun and entertainment.

No doubts weekend holds  more matches than the regular days but however what  of other games that are played on the same week days gambling for fun can not be narrowed to just because it's done on weekends alone .
Infact if I gamble for fun that's the more reason I should gamble every day because it's what I find interest in doing on a normal day so I can not narrow it to just weekends alone.

[Grace333]

Sure, why not? If it is really just for entertainment, keeping it strictly to weekends is actually the best way to control it. For me I even do have more time to myself more on weekend.
At least that way it stays fun and does not interfere with my week days o and other things.
