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

[Sandra_hakeem]

First of all , majority of those who see gambling as a career most likely do turn out to be those who gamble daily.
A working Class who is busy with his daily jobs, either working for the government or a private firm might find it exhausting to gamble on a daily basis.

Those who gamble daily, most likely end up trying to take gambling as a tool for poverty alleviation while those who don't,might most likely gamble for the love of the game (passion), to feed their prediction or analysis ego and so on.
In summary, gambling could be seen as entertaining  and be limited to weekends too but it depends on the motivation of who's involved.

I don't know about other countries, but here in my country, most gamblers are actually poor people looking for a way to alleviate their poverty, and they think gambling is the easiest way. Very few gamble for recreation.

Those who believe gambling can save them from poverty don't gamble just once a week or on holidays. They gamble whenever they have the chance or can get any small amount of money to gamble.

I think that is true in every country, not just yours, all poor people gamble to make money, to escape poverty. No one gambles for fun, and that is sometimes true even for rich people. They also do not gamble for fun but to make extra money, that is why many rich people also go bankrupt because of gambling.

Even poor people gamble in a disciplined manner such as only gambling on weekends, holidays and using only small amounts of money. I don't consider it entertainment either.

In my country, there have been many cases of rich singers and celebrities going bankrupt and having their careers ruined because of gambling. It can be said that they gamble for greed, to become richer, not for entertainment.

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?

It depends on the gambler because as a gambler that normally treat gambling as an entertainment would always gamble on his own free time. But without any doubt I think weekends are more preferable for better entertainment, because that's when most gamblers normally have time and also you can be gambling and be having more fun while watching the games. Although many gamblers like to gamble every day, but if you ask me I would say an entertainment gambler don't need to gamble every time.

[Achalugo BTC]

Well, everyone have the right to make their choices which they think it's suitable for themselves, there are some people that gamble only on weekends due to their works factor, which they only have off-days on weekends while there are some that do have free times in their jobs like a couple of hours each day, which they may use that opportunity to gamble.
Though gambling sites are designed to be open every 24/7 just like the way this forums like Bitcointalk, Altcointalk, etc. Which enables everyone to get access to it at any given time of their choice but due to other activities, we set schedules when we should post and do our daily activities as well likewise gambling, it's also important for people to set schedule on how they should gamble because it will really help them to see gambling as a game of fun and entertainment and also support them to gamble within their budget.

[TopTort777]

I can easily limit gambling to weekendw only or gamble even more rarely. If gambling would be more frequent for me, for example every 2-3 days, than would not be an entertainment anymore. That would be a hobby. I also think that I woukd get tired of such frequent entertainment.

To be clear, gambling as entertaining or gambling on weekends does not mean I would only place 1 sports bet and wait or play couple of quick games and leave.

How long can such a person play every day? And I think it is not that important whether this person has a job or is unemployed. If they play every day, they will very quickly understand how good they are at gambling. A few losing weeks or months will be enough for them to want to stop, instead of making money, they keep getting losses. Playing every day is not that simple.

The truth of the matter is, there are some person's who only gamble on weekends their off days from work, and I'm a typical example of those who gamble only on weekend, although I also gamble within the week, but when the need arises for example during the world cup qualifiers I was staking bets, because most of the matches we are played within the week, but when it comes to premier league matches and other league matches I only place bet on those league only on weekends because weekend is when I have all the time to have fun, chill with family and friends and do all manner of things, and you can also agree with me that most of the big clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester city, Arsenal, Liverpool and so on mostly play their matches on weekends so for me I believe that weekends are when you will entertain yourself the more through gambling and other things. Although there are also some persons who gamble on a regular basis not because they are addicted to gambling, but because they take gambling as their source of income so for that reason they have to gamble on a regular basis to enable them meet up to their daily living, since gambling has become the source of their income.

I can limit myself to placing bets only on weekends, but considering that most European teams play twice or three times a week and the fact that I prefer to place my bets a few hours before the start of those games, I'll be missing out on at least half of them... In addition to that, researching/studying those few games usually only takes an hour of my time, so with proper time management, I can easily place those bets before or after my work.

[kasablings]

Actually gambling Really is entertainment but also a source of making money too.limiting it to weekends only has to do with individual schedules if you are a business person or a 9 to 5 job person you can fix a limit on it because of how busy you are with your own day job.there are people who don’t work gambling is there sources of income that is there job they leave for it.they feed there family with it.so they are always betting one way or the other everyday to make something out of it.so my own opinion I feel it has to do with an individual decision to make on how you can limit your gambling spirit.

I can also do it, gambling only on weekends. However, I personally prefer it without a set time. In other words, I gamble as flexibly as possible, whenever I want, as long as I have limits.

So, when I feel like gambling and I still have a budget, I'll gamble whenever I want, including sports betting. I might even go a week or more without gambling because I'm busy. The point is, when we can be responsible with our gambling, we can gamble anytime without being tied to a set time. However, when there are such time constraints, I think it diminishes the enjoyment of gambling.

[swogerino]

I think it can be done when you gamble only in weekends and you have free time that you enjoy spending this free time by gambling in your favorite games. This is when a person is not addicted to gambling and maybe he only enjoys gambling by drinking alone at home during weekends or going out in a local casino to chill during weekends. Gambling is like an escape from reality as it increases your dopamine, it makes you feel good for the moment but over the long run it makes you feel bad. So it is achievable for people of such range, people who are not addicted, an addicted person can have this as an objective if he wants to quit as you cannot quit directly in gambling.

Those who are busy with work rarely consider gambling as a career; they see it as entertainment or as an opportunity to make a life-changing win by simple luck.
But a career in gambling is out of the question for a worker.
Anyone who decides to make a career out of gambling must somehow have a good economic starting point, otherwise it is practically impossible to get started.

[bubilas]

Once upon a time, I only had time to enjoy slots on weekends because I worked long hours during the week. It was a tough time, and I loved spinning the slots on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Even after I was able to quit my full-time job, the habit of only playing on weekends remained. Playing online casinos on weekdays seemed somehow wrong to me back then.
I'm glad things turned out that way, because I know many gamblers struggle with the urge to play absolutely every day, weekdays and weekends alike.

We are completely free to make the choices that we like best. i am a supporter of individual personal freedom, being an anarchist by nature.
However, your freedom must not harm others, another law that goes around in our environment, the anarchist environment

[348Judah]

Can we at some point still feels entertained when we play weekend games and all we had was losses, there is nothing to proof that weekend games are the best and they prevent gamblers from any abuse or unhealthy use of privileges.

People will not also accept to only gamble on weekends, because due to some peoples preference, weekend use to be more engaging for them when it comes to business aspects, better to have it the way it has always been, that everyone should choose when and which day of the week they want to gamble.

Believe it or not, there are probably millions of gamblers who only gamble on their day off, and it is not an uncommon thing to do. That being said, of course, different people will have different responses to gambling, some will have a hard time sticking to only gambling during their day off, and some will have no trouble online gambling during their day off. Bottom line is, while there are a lot of people who might have trouble only gambling during their day off, there are also a lot of people who have no trouble only doing it during their day off.

If gambling can be accepted as entertainment, then gambling can be used as desired. Now that I have accepted gambling as entertainment, I can use gambling as I wish. If I want to gamble every day, I will gamble once a week, that will be the case, and if I want to gamble once a day, that will be the case, and if I want to gamble several times a day, that is also possible, that is also accepted as entertainment. So when a person accepts gambling as entertainment and uses a very small budget for gambling, then he can use gambling as he wishes.

Gambling is a completely different matter for those who play it for entertainment. Many times it is seen that many people first start gambling for entertainment, but at some point they become addicted to gambling while playing for this entertainment. Gambling addiction is a very bad thing. At some point, it is seen that while playing gambling under the guise of fun, at some point they become so addicted to winning that their family faces various problems. Gambling for entertainment is definitely possible, but we have to be careful that this entertainment does not turn into gambling addiction, otherwise it will be very harmful for us. There are many families who have problems in their family due to this gambling addiction. They are not able to fulfill their responsibilities properly in the family, they are constantly affected, and at some point they become destitute due to being affected.

Setting limits is easy, but maintaining discipline is difficult. In certain games, staring at a gaming screen can even trigger an excessive dopamine rush, which can last for days. This is where your mental toughness is tested: resisting the urge to return to the casino screen sooner than planned.
I wouldn't say this is easy for everyone to implement, depending on the type of gambling they enjoy.

I don't think it can be done by online gamblers; most probably it could be maintained by offline gambling. Gambling for entertainment looks like a joke to me, because I think less than one per cent of people gamble for fun. It's just a self-satisfaction for gamblers that they aren't addicted to gambling. Those gamblers gamble occasionally on the special occasion; most likely they take it as entertainment.

I pretty much agree with OP; those who treat gambling as entertainment would gamble at the weekend. Gambling every day looks like addiction to me; gamblers wouldn't limit it only to weekends. Entertainers would limit their gambling on the weekends; they take it as fun.
