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

[Joeboy]

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?

In fact, gambling is s great entertainment community and it is actually something we have do on our free times, therefore without much  argument, I will definitely make it a week ends activity. As you might have observed, most games take place on the weekend, like football, basketball and others, they are usually played on the weekends and that is when we are supposed to meet friends for the funs. I think that weekend should be enough for every gambling activities even as a discipline gambler.

There are some important competitions like the UEFA champion League that are played during the weekdays.. Free days doesn't just surfaces only in weekends, one can also have free time also during weekdays.... that is why I believe that the free time that we get depend solely on the kind of job that we do. There are some folks that work a 9am-4pm jobs. In such case, they can have their free time in the night which can afford them the opportunity to place their bet for champion league matches or even other friendly matches played during the weekdays

It's true that entertainment should be enjoyed during free time, especially during holidays like weekends. Most people typically use holidays as a time to seek pleasure, essentially during free time when all important activities, such as work, are completed.

This means that, in my opinion, restricting gambling to weekends shouldn't be a problem for gamblers, provided they truly consider gambling a way to have fun. However, if they can't limit their gambling time and want to continue gambling whenever they have time, they're likely gambling not for fun but for money.
Anything done excessively means it's a priority for them.

But the fact is not so, there are more people who gamble not for entertainment or to take advantage of the holiday,
but they just become an addict who spends the cost of the holiday.

Gambling should indeed be a hobby that is played in leisure or playing with the family with card games and the like.
But in this digital age everything changes and entertainment that was initially fun becomes a game that can make someone go bankrupt when they can't control it.

When you become an addict, then everything will be different, There are no more holidays or happy days,
all just to play and keep betting and such problems should not happen if you have good self-control and clear goals.

Haha, yes, you're right. Instead of going on vacation, most gamblers spend their entertainment funds on gambling, thinking they're gambling for fun, when in reality, it all ends in stress.

I also realize that online casinos make things difficult to control because gambling is conducted without transparency, which often leads to gamblers being overcome by their desires.

Honestly, I was once trapped in an addiction for several months, and you're right that there was no joy or pleasant days when I was still trapped in an addiction. I spent most of my time stressed out because of major losses.

Entertainment shouldn't interfere with daily requirements. And if gambling is for fun free time becomes the best time. However there are many drivers to keeping up the bet slips, it could be the games available at that time which limits the use of only free times. So betting has to happen on seeing games that makes you think of having all green at the end of the games.

But then to do gambling only on days off should be a simple thing to do. It is about making that decision of only gambling on weekends only online or offline.

Such an incident will remind us that anything called addiction is not good and will make a person miserable and not enjoy what is supposed to be enjoyed.

Gambling can be an interesting pastime if it can control gambling just as a regular game without involving more money.
But people who are too greedy want to make more money from gambling, but instead lose more money on gambling due to addiction.

Once in a position where I initially just wanted to try a new gambling with a small capital,
but after playing and continuing to play I felt I couldn't stop, until I also made a deposit even though it was small.
It made me keep playing which at first just tried and in the end couldn't stop.
Imagine how an addict can't stop and continue playing with all their money, it's a stupid act.

Well this depends on what you gamble on, some people only choose to gamble on weekend games while others have games running the weekdays.... Some persons prefer having the entertainment everyday and not just on weekends and im not referring to those who are betting because of the developed emotional attachement but im referring to people who just want life to be fun everyday. So it depends on the individual really but i get your point though, more like an advice, gamble for entertainment only on weekend...this can help regulate betting for some individuals.

What you said is very true. When someone's gambling interferes with their daily needs, they can no longer gamble just for fun. Gambling during free time is indeed more effective because it will greatly help us avoid gambling addiction. If we gamble continuously, addiction will certainly occur. Limiting gambling to free time is certainly better.

I think limiting oneself to gambling only on weekends is easy for some people who are not yet addicted to gambling, but for those who are addicted, it certainly takes effort to be able to gamble only on weekends.

A person who is Addicted is another matter there's not much that can be done They should be put in treatment to Improve But a person who likes to play regularly can have the game to play on weekends and just a little bit , not too much.

Entertainment is not limited to how frequent we gamble, it is more about how do we deal with our gambling habit. As long as we can enjoy the process (before-during-after) of gambling and it does not give us any negative effects especially if the result is bad, it is still considered as entertainment. On the opposite side, even if you limit it once a week or once a month only but if you cant enjoy it, it cant be said as an entertainment.

I have always seen gambling as a way to have fun, and the time can be anytime, although more often during work off or long holidays. But sometimes, when I really feel like playing, I will still play even if it's not the weekend, while limiting myself by only making a modest deposit or below the amount I usually do on weekends.

Gambling everyday is actually addiction , because why will someone gamble everyday of his life , I alway tell people that gambling requires discipline once you are self disciplined it helps you control your approach towards some certain things, and saying weekends is not still ideal if you discipline yourself to play twice a week probably once in weekdays and  once during weekends it will be more easier because some matches plays in week days or better still pick different matches in a week days and play at once then wait for results , then you can still play the remaining once on weekends with this method it can help you limit your high level of betting , because left for me alone playing on weekends doesn’t sound too good to me , in as much as we treat  gambling as entertainment , we should also be disciplined towards it.

[nara1892]

Of course, it's possible, and it shouldn't be a problem if someone simply views gambling as entertainment. I also usually gamble every weekend after spending time with my family or after dinner.

Limiting gambling activities, or anything related to risk management, should be easy if we truly view gambling as entertainment. It's also less likely to overdo it. This means not forcing yourself when you don't have free time. The point is, limiting gambling is easy when gamblers are focused solely on entertainment, not winning.

It is not always easy for gamblers to maintain a schedule. Although it is best to gamble on weekends or in free time, I have never seen anyone who gambles follow a regular schedule. I can gamble whenever I want when I am free. Gamblers should prioritize their work first and then gamble. A gambler can gamble at any time according to their convenience. If someone can force themselves to gamble only on weekends or maintain this consistency, I think that is a good initiative. But in my case, I can't be consistent with this rule.

That’s understandable most gamblers start with the idea that they’ll only play occasionally maybe once a week or only on weekends but once you get into it the temptation to play anytime you’re free can creep in easily especially when the games are just one click away on your phone.

Discipline is the real challenge here treating gambling like entertainment means setting boundaries and actually sticking to them if someone can limit it to weekends only that’s great because it keeps it in balance with work and personal life but if you gamble whenever the mood strikes it can slowly shift from a casual habit into something that controls your time and attention. For most people the best approach is to set both a time limit and a budget before playing for example deciding you’ll only play for an hour or two and never exceeding a fixed amount no matter how tempting it feels that way gambling stays a pastime and doesn’t turn into a daily routine that eats into everything else.

There shouldn't be limit to what time to bet or restrictions to when or not to bet, because everyone time and schedules are different. Some people are busy during week days while some are busy by weekends.
Beside this it won't take you all day to place a bet, no matter how it is, you can book your bet and later place the at your own convenient time depending on the time for the game.

Not necessarily during weekends only but during your day-off. The OP just use weekends as an example since it’s the regular day-off of employee but the main idea is limiting your gambling on the time which you are available to do it.

I believe that entertainment on gambling should only be done when you just needed it not whenever we have free time.

Personally, I only gamble during my free time if I don’t have any plans to do. It’s my least priority as source of entertainment.

This is one of the main points of the game: don't focus on winning, because some players only want to win, without even a moment's thought as to why they should win and not others. Players who think about the essence of the game, how it works, how the casino makes money from players, and how emotions affect us will be able to control themselves and play whenever they want, maybe just on weekends, or maybe anytime. But generally, playing on weekends is more than enough for me; sometimes I even take a break when there aren't any interesting bets where I can find an advantage.

There is no mandatory time limit for gambling. Leisure time can be arranged differently by the individual. If you want to use gambling for entertainment, then you should do it only if you have free time after properly performing the profession you have chosen to earn money. Leisure time means holidays.

Sometimes I don't wait for holidays when gambling because I finish work early and prepare to gamble while I am at work. It is not a regular thing for gambling. I prepare to gamble on special events/match.

Honestly, I don't gamble every day. I have to work every day to meet the daily needs of my family. I am more tempted to gamble on weekends or during special events/match.

Entertainment isn't only meant for weekends

'9-5ers' and certain business owners might agree with you because of work schedule, but outside that anybody can choose to entertain their self any day
If gambling is entertainment and you can entertain yourself any day when you're free from work, study or business, to me that simply means you can gamble any day
