How long would you stay before gambling?

[Jewan420]

What do you think about the total hours spent while gambling, does it also attributes to how quickly you could become addicted to gambling?

I use money and time that is not necessary for gambling. I never gamble when I spend significant time and significant money, so my gambling statistics are very small and the gambling incidents are also very few. I gamble a few times a month, some months I do not enter the gambling. I choose a day to gamble when I have nothing else to do. As a result, gambling becomes just a means of spending my free time and I enjoy that time. I am still very vigilant in terms of addiction.

It's not just about gambling, it's about anything, be it reading a book or watching movie. Where you spend a lot of time doing something and it becomes a mental habit and you lose control over it, then you know that addiction is a combination of these things. Basically, the more time you spend, the higher the risk of addiction and this is scientifically proven. So I believe that the number of hours you spend gambling directly depends on how quickly you become addicted. So people who gamble for fun become addicted after a while, but they deny it.

It's true that if we spend more time than normal in any activity, then it must be called addiction, so if someone spends extra time daily in gambling, then it would be considered gambling addiction. I think not all addictions are bad, like you compared gambling addiction to reading books for a long time; addiction to reading books is definitely a good addiction. I think it's more important to set a budget limit than to set a specific timetable when it comes to gambling. Because if you have free time, then you can spend it on gambling, but spending extra money will be a loss to you, and also cause mental pressure.

Gamblers are expected to gamble wisely and any thing that will make us to take gambling too seriously should be avoided. Many will want to make money from gambling by all means and this can be as a result of not  having suitable means of income. Some gamblers had assumed that the only way they can be making money without having a job is through betting everytime so any profit made can be used to take care of their bills.
Anything that works for you, you have to keep doing it and everyone can not be taking the same steps to make profits.

It's not that you have to call it an addiction just because you spend more time on it, the real issue is whether the activity is getting out of your control or not, If someone plays for a long time in their free time but keeps their budget, emotions and daily responsibilities in order, then that is not a direct addiction in my eyes. What you are saying is setting a budget limit, this is really the most important thing in gambling, because the main pressure starts when you lose money, then mental stress comes and the tendency to chase is created. Even if the time goes a little longer, it does not cause as much damage as losing financial control. However I think that keeping gambling and reading books in one place is not completely the same. Reading books for a long time usually has a positive impact on life but no matter how much control you have in gambling, there is always risk.

The lack of a source of income is real because some people do have difficulties in this regard and with some people they do gambling in the hope of getting benefits quickly but unfortunately it is not a certainty that it will be obtained. With a mindset that leads to betting can get income of course it is wrong because there is no certainty in gambling about the benefits.

In addition, with steps to generate profits, of course, not everyone has the same way, there are people who do not think about taking the option of betting to get benefits, and some choose to gamble as an option, but of course it is not recommended to make gambling an option it is better to find other ways to get clear and certain benefits.

If for the reason of joblessness someone decides to make gambling a source of income which I don't support, they can approach it differently and eventually make some good money from it that will help them with their up keep but then emphasis on approach, they will have to approach gambling really differently because the regular random way of gambling will be highly luck dependent and would not fetch you so much, but if you are having a strategy and you are disciplined enough, even as this is not a guarantee, but you can be sure that in-between several trials, there's an edge for one to be in your favour if you are at it well enough  unlike the random gambling style where you can never be sure how or when you could possibly get lucky because you just wanted to have fun.

Of course. The longer you stay in the casino, the more you're hooked on it, and the harder it would be to leave. I think it would be best to set a definite length of time when gambling rather than keep it open.

The risk isn't that you'd be having so much fun you'd completely forget about the time; it's that you'd continue gambling despite not enjoying it anymore. There are many gamblers who aren't excited anymore, already bored, but continue on betting, can't seem to detach themselves from it even if it's supposed to be over.

Not just gambling, but any activity where you can't manage your time well or don't have a good time management plan can lead to addiction. For example, if you play games continuously without thinking about time, if this continues you'll become addicted to gaming especially when it comes to gambling. The risk isn't just addiction, it can also impact your finances.

This is also why there's a lot of advice for gamblers about managing their finances, managing their time and managing their emotions. These aren't just theories they must be put into practice if you can't apply them you're at risk of addiction. I have a friend who gambles frequently even losing track of time. When I reminded him, he said he could control himself and couldn't possibly be addicted. But after seeing him again a few months later, he complained that his addiction was ruining his finances. So managing his time when gambling is crucial to avoiding addiction.

but you know very well that majority of people who participate in gambling today there are into gambling because of what the benefit from gambling and also what they expect to benefit from gambling, and that is why when they lose they became depressed so gambling and having the intention that the gambling is a source of income it is a misunderstanding for anyone who is a gambler so we have to think less expectation than gambling, gambling we need to know that there are some certain things that we need to consider before we go into gambling deeply and we don't need to expect that much from gambling due to it can disappoint at any time

This is must look facts towards gambling and if people where taking their time extremely careful and serious before gambling we would have received less reports towards gambling addictions.
Of course this looks so common but it matters while gambling, can also look at the time you spend, how much you allocate when gambling this would enable you culture yourself properly while gambling and it would also help to reduce gambling addiction as well.

What do you think about the total hours spent while gambling, does it also attributes to how quickly you could become addicted to gambling?

It is your budget that will determine how much time you will be spending  in gambling because to be a successful gambler you need to set a budget for your time and  funds if not you will end up being an addict by gambling without control and you must gamble with whatever you can afford to lose to be a responsible gambler.

The duration of time can indeed affect a person's addiction, because the longer you play it is already a sign that you are addicted, (the same as when playing games) so I agree that managing time in playing is highly recommended, but more important and main is to manage the allocation of funds that are prepared according to ability, it's a common thing that some gamblers or beginners still don't really do it. After all, addiction can come from anywhere but if we set limits, we can maintain responsible gambling.

This is good for you especially if you know you are someone that can get emotionally attached to something easily then be cautious of gambling frequently because that can lead you into adddiction. If you know you are that kind of a person that can get easily carried away then it is best you keep gambling the way you are already doing it and not try to increase your days and number of gambling because if you do so, there are chances the same addiction you are avoiding will meet you without you knowing or planning for it self.

That's true, gamblers should gamble with the mindset that gamble is meant to be for fun and entertainment and not a game to make money through it, as it won't be of any benefit to them.

And to avoid all these from happening, they need to gamble with the rules that is governing it, so that they will have to be at the safer side of responsible gambling.

It is your budget that will determine how much time you will be spending  in gambling because to be a successful gambler you need to set a budget for your time and  funds if not you will end up being an addict by gambling without control and you must gamble with whatever you can afford to lose to be a responsible gambler.

It is important to do, the budget is specific to a gambling even if it is for an entertainment or indeed to make more money,
 Budget limits need to be managed, otherwise then when losing there is no limit to how much money will be spent and it will be dangerous.

There are many people who bet and fail continuously until they spend all their savings on gambling games and a bet because they do not do budget management for gambling.
This will be a long-term problem and make one's psychology addictive and will never stop until everything is gone.

Gambling is basically a game of self-control, especially the more time you give yourself to gambling, the more likely you are to become addicted. The more you allocate to gambling, the more likely you are to become addicted to gambling. If you give more to both the allocation and time, you will eventually realize that you have become an addicted gambler. You have to always have the ability to plan and control yourself when gambling. Remember that you are not participating in gambling for your income, but rather you are participating for some entertainment that will never be controlled by your emotions or feelings.

[Jubilee58]

Time is very important, and the time spent while gambling can actually tell the kind of gambler that you are. To me spending so much time in a gambling shop or even online could be a sign of addiction, more especially when you do it repeatedly. Some persons gamble everyday and some gamble occasionally, and as for me, sometimes I can stay for months without gambling, and this happens when I have recorded series of losses without making any profit, I feel discouraged and retreat for sometime before coming back again. But their are those who gamble everyday, and this can make you loose more money than you win, and the time you would have given to some other things will be spent gambling. Of a truth, gambling everyday is not a good way of gambling, and can actually lead to gambling addiction.

In addition to money limits I always advise people to limit their gambling time because this will affect you psychologically in the long run if you gamble too long, the longer you are in there the more attached you will become, this is the psychological effect of too much habit which is not allowed, gambling should have a time limit for you so that you can control yourself.

The more time you spend gambling the more likely you are to develop an addiction, believe me!

[Yablee0]

Some persons gamble everyday and some gamble occasionally, and as for me, sometimes I can stay for months without gambling, and this happens when I have recorded series of losses without making any profit,

Gambling everyday or doing a particular thing countless times is a sign of commitment and that act normally lead to gambling addiction. However, addiction is not a stuff that happens just in a single day perhaps it's only when you devoted more of your time in it that's when you automatically fueled addiction.

Their is no special award or benefits for those that gamble everyday so why will I be breaking my head on what will do more harm to me than good,  some times I only gamble once in a whole month because of my kind of work and it has been so helpful to me and it also keep me off from some unnecessary loss.

It actually a great thing, that you set a strict and clear limit. Knowing when to stop is also is actually important in gambling, but some gamblers failed to practice that, for you to have this kind of mindset show that you have strong and positive mentality. This itself is a greatest self awareness, and with that, you will have the ability to gamble responsibly. Is not everyone that know when to pause or stop in gambling because they are overtake or carried away by their emotions. But due to some negative experiences some will be able to adjust their ways and learn to control themselves rather than allowing their problems to escalate.
