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

[Ronsbit]

For me, gambling is just for fun, and I do that mostly at weekends when I am less busy. I do it on weekends to avoid distractions from work, business, and other activities that demand my full attention. Sometimes games can be time-consuming and make one lose focus on what they are doing, so this is why I prefer to play games during the weekends, so that I know I don't have much worries about work and my games while I relax and do my things as it pleases me.

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?
How you guys handle this?

Is actually all about self control. Which many gamblers don’t have actually while some do, some can stop after losing all their funds and have seen many related cases . While some stop whenever they their budget limit which is actually far better . As gambler either you gambling for fun or the money learn how to work with budget know when to call it a day cause gambling is not a do or die thing . So have a fixed budget and work with it , and avoid always going overboard all in the name of going all in .

To be honest, I even forget that I have to gamble and I've got some spare in my balance. And I think that's the beauty of having some spare, you don't have to schedule when you'll gamble. You just pop and open your account and do some spins, that's what I do whenever I have some free time too. If you'll make yourself as a weekender type of gambler, that's not bad at all. You're giving yourself a limit not only with the time that you'll consume in gambling but of course with the money that you'll have to allot when you're about to do it.

If gambling is for fun, I don't think it should be limited, there's no specific time for entertainment, even for those people that work all day but only have free time on the weekend. They still have fun on their break time so they can gamble with that time. Gambling has no limit on when to stake a game, all a responsible gambler will do is to limit the time spent in a gambler centre or in a gambling app and not to gamble directly from a major account. It's good to set aside money for gambling no matter the time you are doing it, weekend or no weekend, and don't gamble above what you can afford. These are only basic rules I see in gambling that can work very well.

Of course things like this are still very much possible, it's just that when looking at the conditions, especially for those in sportsbetting, sometimes we just have to try to shift the time not only on weekends considering that the match schedules in some competitions vary.

So in this case instead of limiting gambling on weekends only, I would rather limit the budget that I have to spend during the week where it will be much more worth it for me.
Not that I want to gamble more intensely but indeed when I like soccer sometimes not only weekends are used as a benchmark because when the season rolls on it can even be every day of the week there are matches that take place at most if there is a break it is only 2 or 3 days.

Those who prefer weekend games are those people that are fully occupied by their work throughout the week, the only opportunity they have to gamble is on weekends. But those that gambles on regular basis without considering whether it is weekend or not, are those who their work doesn't affect their gambling Time. As a matter of fact some people have the full time to gamble even when they are in work place. But the best time to gamble in my own understanding is on weekends when the gambler will focus and make good prediction without being in haste.

[JunaidAzizi]

Honestly, it's a good way to limit betting to weekends only, but it may or may not happen. If we go deeper, then it's your own responsibility. If you are treating it like entertainment, just like the others, then you will control it, but it's difficult. The reason is clear: the casinos are designed to engage the players, and they don't leave the casino. They will attract you with different games, and you will spend more time than you initially decided. For that, you have to set some rules for yourself and make them so strict that you can't even cross them.

Poker weekends or weekdays? I've done that mostly during the weekdays and there are some tournaments that can be done in the weekend. But with how I play poker now, I do only when I have some spare time. Honestly, there were weeks that I don't have spare time to join some tournaments even if they're for free. So, it lies with our availability and I think our mood also plays a part when we do it.

[Shinpako09]

Nah, it’s hard for me to do that. It may be a form of entertainment, but it involves money, and who doesn’t want money? All of us want money, so that’s very hard. Once a game involves money, the way we treat it becomes different. Now, if you have good self-restraint, then you can limit your playing time to weekends. Whether you win or not, you shouldn’t let the excitement or frustration get into your nerves, and you should calmly wait for the next weekend. Limiting your playing time is also a way to prevent yourself from becoming addicted. But for a long time player, that’s hard to practice, for real.

I think one of the reasons why Premier leagues down to Seria A league are played on Saturday simply because it's off days and that's the only time people have to watch football and perhaps some sporting activities and hence the reason why gambling is played mostly on weekends. However, everyone doesn't do skilled labour, some people work at home and have free time as they like, you don't expect such people to wait for weekend before they want to gamble.

Fun can be anytime, if you have the time and you feel it's okay to gamble that's on you but personally I don't have free time, I have work to do, I spent some time on the forum and equally have time for my family, I can't be gambling all day when I don't have much time to even give myself a proper sleep than the usual bed time I do have. Saturdays are ideal for me, Sundays too but I like it when I spend much of my Sunday time outside the internet.

If the game is only centered on the casino or the original, it may be possible to enforce this condition but when the basis is multiple bets such as in sportsbetting or even card tournaments such as poker, it seems a little difficult to do.

It would be quite good to apply a strategy like this combined with good financial management when playing in casinos considering that it is still quite free to do whenever we want so that weekends are also not a problem but for sportsbetting or some other games such as poker (especially when it is a tournament) then obviously the schedule can be erratic so gambling on weekends even though it can be done but not all will do it especially those who are fixated on sportsbetting.

[Miles2006]

This is impossible and not because many are addicted rather gambling activity can be done at any time mostly when matches are fixed outside weekend days for example the champions league match can be fun and interesting, while watching alongside betting on favorite team is not bad although I understand the point definitely anyone can discipline their gambling lifestyle to such manner but, not too serious limiting gambling only on weekends probably when an instruction is given then the rule becomes difficult but viewing gambling is an entertainment not a money making machine anyone can gamble not minding the day.

[GeorgeJohn]

Gambling is all about entertainment but it is the way you gamble in the gambling will it be determined if you are gambling for the sake of entertainment or for the sake of human to make a benefit from it

Most people who participate in gambling today them participate in gambling because the love the entertainment in gambling and some people some gambling as a privilege or an opportunity to make money, so those ones that is in gambling as a proper Avenue for them to make money can never consider gambling as a part of entertainment

[Yamifoud]

Even everyday gambling can still be limited, unless we don't take it seriously. If we only have 2–3 hours of gambling every day, that seems enough to enjoy it. But if we want to accumulate it during our weekend break, it still depends on us. If gambling during the weekend makes you feel comfortable, then do it. Besides, we are not forced to do it every day. In addition, it is within our control. Responsible gambling is not just about limiting our time gambling but also our spending habits.

[osasshem]

It is possible to limit our gambling activities to weekends if the games being played are mainly weekends, like the EPL are often time weekend games. There are lots of games available in casinos, so for those who are real gamblers, it will be difficult to stay away from gambling through the whole week. For me, I gamble only during weekends, and not all weekends I gamble as well, cause I have time set aside for it, and whence that time is past, gambling is past as well.

I agree, as long as you can do it on a daily basis and you have limited time to cover, anyday of the week is okay. It's a matter of how disciplined we are if we're going to gamble and if it's an entertainment, I guess that we shouldn't be too strict with our schedule if that's the main purpose of it. If we lose today and tomorrow, it doesn't matter, we continue to gamble in a few hours in a day where we can do it freely and have no problem of spending the money we've got and as well as the time we have. Because people say that our time is precious so, that entertainment moment is precious and just don't let your emotions be at center when you are having fun.

[Juse14]

Yes, I only gamble on weekends, and even then, when I'm not going anywhere and just staying at home. But if I have to leave the extended family home on the weekend, of course, I prioritize that over gambling, which is purely for my own personal enjoyment.

I only gamble on weekends, except when I have truly free time. I also always make sure that I only make a single deposit of an amount I'm prepared to lose, regardless of the outcome, especially if I lose. We must truly be able to accept the outcome gracefully. Because one of the reasons people continue gambling is to chase losses.

[Ultegra134]

Nah, it’s hard for me to do that. It may be a form of entertainment, but it involves money, and who doesn’t want money? All of us want money, so that’s very hard. Once a game involves money, the way we treat it becomes different. Now, if you have good self-restraint, then you can limit your playing time to weekends.

That's true, you can't rule out the money making opportunity, if it wasn't for that, we simply wouldn't bother, because why would you? I claim to gamble for the entertainment, not because I don't care about the money, but because it's not my priority. I enjoy earning, but I'd rather not lose money from it (who would want that anyway?) For this reason, I spend a relatively low amount, and only do it on the weekends, my weekdays are too limited to bother with gambling, I don't want to add one more "activity" on my schedule. It's best to gamble when time allows you to.

[coolcoinz]

Yes, I can easily do that.

I actually don't focus on the weekends right now because my job as a freelancer doesn't limit me to working during the week and resting on weekends. I can actually work 3 hours a day and feel great whole week, while having time to do whatever I want like sports. So, I gamble whenever I feel like it. Sometimes twice a week, sometimes just once per 2 weeks. I could easily limit it to an hour or two once a week because I often do it even less.

[Mikky02]

For those who are addicted to gambling I think it will be difficult for them just to gamble during the weekend only but, for me is okay gambling just on weekends with just few activities makes it look more easier speaking about myself when I have alot of activities at hand I mostly get them mixed up and mostly leaving a lot of them undone gambling during the weekend is okay for me
