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

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

[Hispo]

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?

Actually that is some philosophy I used to have with betting and gambling: only to partake on it on weekends, when I had more time off and I did not have to focus on anything related to studies or working. But several people do not have such option because of the nature of the lifestyle they have and keep during years, there are jobs which require them to be available on weekends and with schedules which are so tight that they do not have any other alternative than betting or gambling with the minimum window of spare time they have, regardless whether it is on weekends or in working days.

So even though gambling only on weekends would be the ideal scenario to any gambler, in reality there are millions of gamblers who cannot reach that ideal case and need to reorganize their time in order to gamble and bet through the week, so they continue to keep up with their responsibilities.

Everyone has a different routine and lifestyle so the idea of limiting gambling to weekends only sounds good in theory but it doesn’t always fit real life some people work weekends others have unpredictable schedules and for them gambling might just be something they do in short breaks or whenever they get free time. What really matters is balance not the specific day if you can gamble without it affecting your job sleep or relationships then it’s fine whether that happens on weekends or random weekdays the main goal is to keep it under control and make sure it stays as entertainment not a habit that sneaks into your daily routine.

Discipline is the real challenge here because once gambling becomes part of everyday life it’s harder to stop or take breaks setting clear boundaries like specific days or time limits can help keep it fun instead of stressful.

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.

yes there is no set time for gambling, we can only gamble when ever we are free to do so .For those that gamble for fun or to make profits, they should only gamble when they are less busy. It is only those that see gambling as a means or source of income that will want to gamble at all time.  Gambling is there only hope of making money so they prioritise gambling over every other activities.

There is no particular day that is designated for gambling; I think people choose to gamble on a day when they believe they are free. The weekend is considered a time when most gamblers are free to play their games and enjoy themselves. People don’t choose to gamble during the weekend just because it is a day designed for gambling only. There are some gamblers whose work time is only during the day, but the only time they have to gamble is at night, so it is really about when one has time.

The truth about gambling is that if you have a job that you are doing and you don't depend on gambling as your source of livelihood you can as well schedule yourself to bet over the weekend for you to properly predict your games without being distracted from work in the office, it's only those that depends on gambling that usually bet everyday because they would want to win so as to have funds to sort out themselves for the week.

Gambling on weekends is best for those who work from Mondays to Fridays and by weekends they rest and bet conveniently though people have their routine and how they would want to use it to their benefits even as a gambler there are people that the jobs they do don't give them enough time to gamble midweek so they are only left with weekends to gamble, I think this gambling of a thing is best limited to the individual and when he/she has time, it doesn't necessarily mean it must be weekends or midweek.

[Ayebabara]

There seems to be more fun in weekend gambling because the gamblers have more time to gamble as they want, also, there are numerous games and activities during this period, as it marks the end of the week, but we should not forget something more important about it, which does not make any difference at all, either playing on weekends or weekdays, we have the same risk on both.

Not everyone gamble for fun so it can't be limited to only weekend's most people gamble for survival and for their daily lives,secondly even if gambling is met for fun during the weekends they're several fun things to do so many people won't remember to gamble or add gambling to they scheduled activities for the weekend.
       

  Football matches and other sporting activities are not restricted to just weekends so gambling can't be just for weekend's.

Everyone starts gambling for entertainment. When someone first gambles, they gamble for fun without realizing it. But later, they become addicted to gambling without being able to control themselves. It is better to accept gambling as a fun game. But many people get addicted without realizing it. This addiction can be a cause of harm for an income-earning person. But those who can control themselves always see gambling as fun.

Gambling is complete entertainment for me. So I do not gamble regularly. I gamble once a week, which relieves me of the monotony of the whole week. I go to gamble once a week with my friends. The only rule of our game is that the winner will host the party of that day. We have a lot of fun on that one day of every week. There is no joy in gambling without friends. It is better to accept it as fun without getting addicted to gambling.

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.

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.

Yes, this is also the reason why we must first know about what activities we are actually facing/will face, the reason is because everything is done under the direction of the brain, this means the first thing that must be corrected is our point of view and understanding of the activity, as you said that if for example we understand everything then we will also know that excessive gambling is not good because the casino takes advantage of gamblers who gamble excessively, but unfortunately the object of winning is money which is something we always need and want and maybe this is what makes it difficult for gamblers to control themselves.

Gambling can be limited to weekends, but it's probably best to interpret the term "weekend" figuratively. What are weekends? They're usually Saturday and Sunday. But we know that, for example, in Judaism, other days are considered weekends. Furthermore, you may have a unique schedule, and your rest days may not coincide with Saturday and Sunday. Perhaps, for some, it's best to gamble midweek when, for some reason, they have some free time, and on the weekends, they need to relax with their family.

[Smartprofit]

In my opinion, gambling shouldn't be limited to weekends (Saturday and Sunday). For example, I use gambling to relieve stress (for me, it's a great alternative to drinking). 🍷

Therefore, after a hard day at work, I usually place a few bets at an online casino to relieve the stress accumulated during the day. Sometimes (very rarely), I place bets in the morning to get myself in the right frame of mind for an energetic and active day! When I gamble in the morning, I usually bet on sports rather than play roulette.

However, I certainly bet on sports on Sundays as well (although on Saturdays and Sundays, I usually take the commuter train and go out of town to relax in nature). I once considered not using the internet at all on Sundays (a digital detox, so to speak). However, that idea never came to fruition. It turns out that I can't live without the internet and the virtual world.  Unfortunately...

P.S. I analyzed my online casino website's traffic statistics, and it turns out I play most often on Friday evenings.🙋

Following that statement, there are gambler who use the venue to kill some time and to enjoy while they have spare and not every time they have that opportunity during weekends, it's different opinions from different perspectives of each gamblers who treat this venue as part of their entertainment.

We can't remove the fact that we may hear or read opinions that they can practice their gambling activities every weekends, as they choose to pick that day for theur entertaiment.

Gamblers who can limit themselves to gambling only on weekends are those who gamble responsibly. Of course, not all of them are responsible gamblers because addiction can change their goals, but when they can control their time and only gamble at certain times outside of their productive time, then they are those who gamble responsibly.

Gambling for entertainment is the best approach, but many of the gamblers are not really entertained because their goal is money. I can't blame those who gamble for money, but really that approach will only lead to bad consequences for them in the long term.

Yeah that true, i understand the point the OP is trying to make  but it shouldn't basically be only weekend maybe on one's day off or the days when they're free, left for me I only gamble during match days especially when there are important matches and it mostly falls during the weekends and sometimes weekdays too. So if a match day falls during the weekday and I'm free and have interest in some particular games, ain't I allowed to bet on them cause it ain't weekends? So gambling should be done at once leisure it mustn't generally be weekends only.

It is easy to be done when you only play sport betting but for people playing daily games like slots, dice or poker this becomes a monumental if not an impossible task. This because the fact that they need to play daily increases the dose of dopamine used and makes them want to keep trying. Even if they decide to make it only to play during the weekends chances are high they won't make it as they will be tempted during all the time to play and sometime they may fall prey to such temptation. It is completely different for someone who only plays sport betting and only during weekend or Champions League events, they can make it work to gamble only during such events.

There are reasons why people will want to suggest that people should gamble on weekend basis instead of everyday, the might have considered that many people have more time for themselves in weekends, i think this might the reason for the statement but you also made a good point, free time at anything can also be nice for gambling, i really comprehend what the op meant, I think he actually meant if what some us think about gambling being meant for entertainment purpose is true, then it can be done on weekends only but we should understand that people have their different reasons for gambling, our understanding about gambling differs, some persons gamble for fun and take gambling as an entertainment, some persons see gambling as profit driven stuff, and whichever way you understand something will be how you will follow it, my take on this is, once you are gambling responsibly without being reckless about it, then you are free to gamble when you have the time to do so, it shouldn't be limited to weekends alone.

Basically, a gamble can gamble responsibly if he is experienced in gambling. Without experience, he will never be able to gamble responsibly. There are many gamblers who gamble responsibly and at some point they become addicted to gambling. If they gamble for some reason, then they can gain money. If for some reason they lose money, then they try to gain double the money and become addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is very harmful for a person. While playing fun games, at some point a person becomes so addicted to gambling that it is very harmful for him, so we have to refrain from gambling addiction. Because a person addicted to gambling is never right for his family, it is always harmful for them.

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's catching fun and being entertained only limited to weekends? Emphatic NO. You can gamble at any time of the day in as much as it's a free time for you not replacing it with time for improvement tasks. Even on weekends there are people who by nature of their job still do work, so for this people should they now gamble on those weekends they should be working  if they have to decide to gamble only on weekends because they're gambling for fun.?
