How does it feel to lose not just your bet, but your precious time as well?

[Cgrexp]

I always advise people not to be addicted to gambling, because gambling is deadly, it will be very difficult for someone to leave, timing is very Important, don't waste all your precious time on gambling, spend more of your time on things that contribute to your growth in life, I'm not saying gambling is bad, but gamble with the mindset that it's just for fun, and see how things will be different from these day on Ward,  anyone that becomes too addicted to gambling doesn't account for anything, so spend less time on gambling and more time on things that will change and better your life.

Whether it is for entertainment or money, someone starts gambling for whatever reason, if they make it a habit to make money without setting limits or controls, they can easily become addicted. Even if you start playing for entertainment, it is often difficult to understand when it gets out of control. The wealth you have built up through hard work depends solely on luck sitting in front of a screen and when someone loses, it is much more mentally damaging than losing money. Therefore, instead of wasting extra time on gambling, if this time is spent on education, work or skill development, it will be more beneficial.

It is commonly said that all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, one can't work all his life, there must always be time set aside for playful and entertaining activities, so there is nothing like spending this time on education, work or skill development.
If I have (for example) spent the whole day on either work, education or developing a skill, or divided the whole day between this three and only have just 2 hours or 3 to entertain myself with something, you expect me to still spend this time on either of the three again? Makes no sense to me bud.

I've always said it's not wrong to gamble generally, what can either make it wrong is how we choose to go about it, gambling for the right reasons and responsibly is the way to really enjoy it without having the feeling of wasting your time and resources.

After a hectic day where most energy has been exhausted in pursuit of career and other life aspects, it is only natural to have quality rest. Mental balance and true happiness will never be good when it is compelled to push towards constant productivity. Entertainment should be done in such a way that we can have fun with gambling at our own pace as a way of self appreciation. Spending our leisure time positively will ensure that we retain our passion in whatever we do on a day to day basis.

Things changed when curiosity kicked in and I started trying other games. I ended up with slots. So many games, so many temptations, especially when you see posts where a small wager hits a huge multiplier. Those lucky screenshots really pull you in.

I got hooked and started playing almost daily. And we all know slots have a huge house edge, so most of the time, you still end up losing. What I realized is that I lost something more valuable than money, my time.

So this year, my promise is simple. I’ll minimize slots and avoid repeating the same mistake again.

Spot betting to me is easier than other casino games maybe because that’s what I know how to play most. It is not taking too much time and your chances of winning must times depends on your ability to put some good games in place and avoid being greedy.

If you can bet on big team matches and play safe by making sure you use reasonable amount in a game that you have analyzed and knows the outcome will surely not go against what you chooses, you can easily win, but in slot and other games that deals with multipliers I am never confident because it is like a blind game to me that you need to be very lucky before you can get it right.

I’ve experienced this myself. Gambling has eaten up a lot of my time. Before, I was only focused on sports betting, which honestly doesn’t take much time. You analyze the game, place the bet, then wait for the result. Most of the time I don’t even watch the game because I’m busy with my real job.

Losing your time and money at the same time means you are gambling without a budget and proper planning for your gambling activities and you gamble for the money that is why you do lost control and carried away with chasing your loses because if you have a stipulated budget that you don't want to exceed, you will make sure to follow up, in that way you don't have to lost much of your time to gambling and also gamble for fun and nothing more, most time when you gamble for fun, you are bound to win because you are well relaxed, no anxiety or fears of losing your game, money and time but just enjoy it the way it goes without stress.

Every gambler has that particular game that they might seem to be having much luck with than other games they play. Like myself, I love playing sport bet (precisely football) and it's a regular one for me. Although there are moments I don't get the win I had expected after a few attempts, instead of changing to other type of games, what I do is to give myself a break for days now gambling. And on resumption the results tends to be favourable somehow.

Just think that any gambling game will really incur some of your time. That is why before you indulge yourself into any of these games, make sure you have your extra resources as well as your extra time. Because if you have other important things to attend to, then, that chance has already been lost.
A break every once in a while will give you some time to reflect as well and see what you are doing with your life when it comes to gambling. It will give you some breathing points and maybe awaken yourself if you are not doing right to yourself.

That's also a concern, the time and funds spent to gamble should always be that time that isn't meant for other valuable activities and that includes the funds. I have moulded my character that I don't have to indulge in gambling if it's no free time or with funds allocated for it by my bankroll. I don't sweat it immediately I realise the results are bouncing against me , because it's really of no use since it could lead to me incurring more losses. Experience has made me smarter and less greedy.

Gambling is supposed to be an entertainment, not to treat as a money printer activity so of course we should have only an allotted amount of time only in gambling. No matter what type of gambling is that, you should only have a specific time for that, not whole day 'cause that's definitely a waste of time. It's not only about time, spending too much time to it can lead to poor decisions in gambling, meaning you're prone to more bigger losses in life. We should always set boundaries in life, it's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of discipline and treat it as a fun activity, not a stressful one. If you feel that you're on a lose streak, that's a sign that you're doing a lot of mistakes, you shouldn't always rely on gambling, there are bunch of ways to make life more interesting.
