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

[AmaGold70]

This is the reason why I focus mainly on sports betting because it doesn't consume your time unless you want to watch the game and see the outcome for yourself, and also you only remember that you wasted your time if you lose the bet and your money so I don't really see anything in wasted time while gambling because you allowed it and you choose to waste your time by yourself. Whether I lose or I win I always prioritize my time because I understand that there is a life outside gambling so I don't put in all my time to it so I have no regrets.

This is why time limit is needed when it comes to gambling, so we have to have at least money limit and time limit to avoid something bad.
Playing slot is fine, I myself slot lover but I will never spend more than 2 hours playing it on my single gambling session.
We have also do it in our free time, time when we do not have anything to do which wont affect our other important activities.

I also faced this not so long ago, when I realized I was spending too much time on gambling. After some time, I started to clearly notice that the tasks I had set as priorities were not being completed because I simply didn’t have enough time. At that moment, I felt real anger toward myself for focusing on things I shouldn’t have been doing things that were not going to meaningfully improve my life.In my case, getting angry actually worked well, because it allowed me to reassess my priorities and do a major cleanup of my life. This didn’t concern only gambling, many other activities that were only conditionally necessary were either removed from my life altogether or put under strict time control.

I never understood people who care about time they spend on gambling. Like, are you spending time away from something better to just gamble? Could you spend time with your family but you spend it gambling? Because for me, gambling is something I do on my free time, if I have nothing else to do, I gamble.

Most common for example for me is on the bus, because why would I do something that would be more productive right? lol. Jokes aside, I gamble on my bus rides and usually for 30 minutes, I could read a book, or read news etc something better but instead I gamble, but not like I am taking time away from anything else in my time. Or at night, when I am trying to fall to sleep, still a good way to gamble because it doesn't waste time.

I do think that whenever you gamble, you have already accept all the necessary consequences that comes with it. This includes the time and effort wasted especially considering if you play card games which you employ some sort of strategy to give you an advantage over the others.

At the end of the day, gambling encompasses everything that involves risks. Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose and all the necessary effects follow with it.

This is why time limit is needed when it comes to gambling, so we have to have at least money limit and time limit to avoid something bad.

We have also do it in our free time, time when we do not have anything to do which wont affect our other important activities.

This is the way to at least feel not guilty whenever you gamble.

If you set a time limit, not only does this  help you save time and money but it also teaches you how to be responsible with your bets. Remember, the more time you spend in a gambling platform, the more chances that you would lose money (or gain depending on your luck) which is why it is always recommended to set a budget for that day.

[Btcdeybodi]

This is the reason why i think that gambling responsibly also includes spending limited time while gambling just as we also have a limit to the amount we spend in gambling. Spending so much time in gambling is the sure way to fall into addiction because you will prone yourself to a lifestyle you never bargained for in the sense that you will make sure that you do not skip a day without gambling which will further result to unplanned losses. We should learn to spend few time while gambling whether we are winning or losing.

[Furious 7]

This condition must have been felt before and it is not only you who have felt this way because I and surely some gamblers here feel the same way.

Gambling especially when getting to know a new game is always impressed like that especially in slots which sometimes the visualization of the UI and UX of the site always gives a different sensation and makes us forget about time.
I feel this too before and not even just slots I have also been trapped in dice games and even flinko a few years ago but after I tried to remember more about the list of defeats and expenses that I felt in the end I tried to minimize because my gambling restrictions were tightened.
All can certainly do that but of course determination is sometimes the benchmark depending on yourself and I think you can also apply to set limits on the gambling you do because this could have a big impact on your gambling activities.

Although I'm not this type of gamblers that makes a lot of complain, but if I'm to complain about something I think the complain should go on the side of losing. I have never complained about wasting my time in gamble before, rather my complain is basically on these aspect of losing. If it's the time, yeah I don't regret spending it in gamble because I gamble during my free time and not when I should be doing other things, I'm sure that if we go about it this way there will be no complain about wasting of time.

[Jaycoinz]

That's actually a double loss and we experience that anytime we lose in gambling but a lot of people don't really recognise this because they only think about the money they lost. money isn't the only thing that should be valued time is also of great importance because it is the very essence of life. Gamblers that use up hours of their time gambling don't really know how much they actually lose until a certain lokt in their life

People usually don’t complain when they’re winning. It’s only when they start losing that they realize they’re not just losing money, but also wasting a lot of time. And time is probably the most valuable thing we have, so it should be managed properly if we still want to do the things that matter, especially our priorities.

Gambling is never a priority, unless it’s actually your bread and butter, like what professional gamblers do. But most of us aren’t like that. We’re just casual gamblers with sometimes overly ambitious minds, and that’s how we end up going down the wrong path, thinking it’s easy money, when in reality it’s the opposite.

I’ve acted crazy myself at times, so I get why some people struggle with this too.

[silpersurfer]

When I stay long without achieving anything, even ending up losing money, it turns out to be a deep regret. Money lost can be reclaimed, but time wasted can never be recovered.

Slots are very attractive. People think that they are easy to play and believe that huge amounts can be won within a short time, but in the real sense, as much as you continue playing, that's how much time and energy you waste. Remain with nothing at the end of the day except realization that time is more valuable than the thrills which disappear in thin air, lessons learned. Decision to minimize your slot play is a wise move to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

[gunhell16]

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.

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.

We need to be careful when gambling starts consuming your time; it’s a clear sign of a developing addiction. You may not feel like an addict yet,
But you're on that path if you lose self-control.

Let's be real: in this game, the majority of players will lose. Only a small percentage find success, making it a matter of extreme luck for most. Yet, many still choose to bet their future on luck alone instead of facing the reality of the odds.

That is very true. This is why you need to make sure you know your limits before you even start betting. If you have that limit, and once you busted it - it means, you need to stop.
So for me, if you are a gambler here for sure, you have already experienced a lot of times about changing your lifestyle for the betterment of yourself. But then, the charm of this activity will give you reason to try again. Actually, it is ok to play as long as you know your limits. It can actually uplift your mood if you do it right. But if you come here just to hit big and pray that you will recover your losses, that's when you will feel desperate while playing.

Every gambler should also have time management, not just budget management, so there is nothing to regret after their gambling session ends. Many gamblers become addicted because they go beyond the personal limits they have set for themselves, spending most of their money and time on gambling.

In gambling, the percentage of losses is generally much higher than that of wins. Especially in slot games, which rely purely on luck, every gambler should be more cautious when staking their money, while also being more aware of how they manage their time.

[Betwrong]

Losses in gambling is not just all about money, it involves energy, effort and time. Each of these items is money that exist in another form, just that not many people believe that time is money. Why we focus more on the money is because that is what we don't have by nature, everyone have the time and the energy free of charge but money is the scarce resources and an important component of gambling. A loss in gambling is indeed a loss in many thing.

I mean, energy and effort is the same thing, right? But I agree with you in general. After spending 3 or 4 hours on gambling I then ask myself, was it worth it? Sometimes it's worth it, if I won 3-4 thousand USD spending 3 or 4 hours on that, but how often such things happen? Less than once in two years, I can tell you that, much less. So, usually, spending hours on gambling is stupid, it's a horrible waste of time for me.

Gamblers that use up hours of their time gambling don't really know how much they actually lose until a certain lokt in their life

"time is money" is a very common I believe many of us grew up to be told and it's true, but the problem is that time is fixed, it's natural, we can't pause it, fast-forward it, reverse it or take a small break from it, we all have a fixed 24 hours every day and no one on earth can use more than that, or less than that, time is a clock that keeps ticking, it can't be stopped, when one clock's battery runs down and stops ticking, other clocks keep ticking, they don't wait for the one that stopped to come up so they all can continue together, but rather, when that one that stopped comes up, it will have to catch up with the others else, it's time won't he correct.

We are how we spend most of our time, we become what we spend most of our time doing, those who waste most of their time become waste, while those who spend most of their time doing valuable things gain value through what they do, this is something every gambler should know and learn to place priority on the most important things in their life on each and every day.. This is why gambling is meant for our leisure time - when we don't have any very important thing to do.

In order to be consistent in your decision to limit the time that you spend on gambling, you'll need some discipline or even better try abstinence from gambling. It is good that you have recognized that you have a problem, as usually gamblers are thd last ones who admit the problems and they're families or loved ones are moatly the ones who point out the problem to them.

I wish you good luck in sticking with your decision and strength to follow it through.

[junder]

When thinking about the direction of time and money wasted, of course it really makes me regret it but basically I do gambling must be prepared to lose the money at stake and the time we use. After all, all things are like that, we do anything of course have to sacrifice time but if with things that are actually useless then it should not be too much.

[Kelward]

If you want to succeed as a gambler you need to plan your time during gambling, if you do this it'll be like clockwise from when you enter, when play your games and when you exit. If you plan to spend one hour on slot then be disciplined enough to time yourself and when it's up you should exit no matter the level of fun that you're having, winning or loses. Gambling is very addictive and it's the more reason that you should be in total control so that your time spent won't be wasted, if you spend a long time it'll be because it's what you want not because you're carried away.
