How long would you stay before gambling?

[GeorgeJohn]

The problem is that most gamblers approach gambling with a messed up mindset and mentality. I mean how can you be gambling and have the expectations of always winning when it is very clear that the house always has an edge more than the gamblers. This alone should make gamblers learn how to set realistic expectations, even if they’re merely gambling for fun or gambling for profits, they’ll still need to have a good mindset and set realistic expectations, at least this would help reduce disappointment should incase in comes.

If we should evaluate the winning and losing in the gambling, you will know that gambling is all about disappointment, because it's not certain that you're going to win if you stake on gambling...

And if you check the statistics of winning ratio and losing ratio in the gambling, it's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that gambling have no assurance of wining, and losing is higher than winning....so we dont need to keep or depend our hope and trust on gambling wining, because it can disappoint us at any length...

For me gambling is by luck and goodluck doesn't run every day, and the demerits in gambling is higher than merits for gambling, what I mean is the advantages of gambling and the disadvantages of gambling, if we checked it out, the disadvantages is higher than the advantages,  so inclusion, we need to know that gambling is by luck

I've been having really bad luck lately. It's been months since I've had any luck. What should I do? Just accept it. I wouldn't pay it much attention. It's gambling, and you have to be prepared for such a scenario. The good thing is that I decided a few years ago not to go beyond my deposit. It's strictly limited. If I lose, it's time to stop. This protects me from negative consequences and rash decisions.

Gambling has it limitations and and it will not profitable for anyone that tries to gamble in a way that looks desperate enough to cancel the possiblity of making profits. Some gamblers are still struggling with gambling with what they can afford to lose. Majority do not care about the other outcome but only focus on staying profitable when the casino that is providing the services are also looking for ways they can be profitable when they gamble. Gamblers need to gamble less without desperately looking for any way possible to make money.

Actually, I wouldn't worry too much about how long I'm going to spend gaming. I'd be more concerned with treating the game like a business. But how? Simple: I bet very little, and if I win, I accumulate those winnings. It doesn't matter if it's 1 or 2 dollars; if we multiply that by 7 days, it's already 14, and it starts to look different. On the other hand, if we spend the 14 and more, we'll have a very negative balance, and our problems begin. So, seeing it as a business isn't bad at all.

Are you asking whether the number of hours spent gambling influences the development of gambling addiction? In my opinion, the cause-and-effect relationship is slightly different. 🙋 Gambling addiction forces a player to spend many hours gambling.

For example, I gamble very rarely these days. I limit my bets to a couple of times and never spend too much time gambling. This is because I don't have a gambling addiction. I have a very interesting and fulfilling life. I have many different hobbies (personal and professional). Therefore, I simply cannot waste hours gambling!

In my youth, I suffered from a gambling addiction (I played roulette). I clearly remember that at first I played once a week, then twice, and then every day. When I wasn't playing, I was thinking about gambling. Real life didn't interest me.

That's what gambling addiction is. That's exactly how it manifests itself.🤷

Gambling is by luck, you know, and not every day one should be expecting to win games, as the risk in gambling is very high, so it would be in your best interest to always take note of your records and to know when to call it a day when it seems it is not working too well for you that game day.  This would help to cushion the loss effect on you as a player so you do not get carried away emotionally to start chasing your loss which would result to something else you never envisaged.

I still believe majority of the gamblers do not really have the idea of odds being set in favour of the house and they think it's just the algorithm being programmed on a neutral basis for players. There are still many players who are no really oriented about gambling, they just have the mindset and mentality of gambling  for profit and to earn a living from it hence their expectations are very high and whenever they record huge loses, they tend to chase their loses in other to recover from it but unfortunately that is just the beginning of their addiction which they can not explain.

All I will advise you is to take your mind away from gambling this time and focus on yourself.
I have been in this condition before and it is unfortunately losing more money when I tried to gamble again to see if i am going to be profitable like the way I have been making few profits from gambling. Gambling has been unprofessional for most people and it's important we understand when to stop.

I believe that the duration of time a certain person spends gambling must always be subject to discipline and limitations that he/she puts in place before gambling. Gamers get into gambling with the wrong mentality that they can continue to play until they hit a jackpot, and that case is normally accompanied by greater losses. The house has always got an upper hand and therefore gambling should be taken as a form of entertainment and not a sure way of earning money. Establishing a time or a loss limit may assist in avoiding making emotional decisions such as chasing losses. Once this limit has been passed, it is always good to call a halt at the end of the day. This is one of the strategies to preserve the control and minimise the threat of falling into unhealthy gambling habits.

That is really a smart decision and that is how every gambler should be, make a decision and abide by it. Exceeding one's limit is not advisable I mean it is not good because a lot of stress can come up after that especially when someone didn't get favored (lucky) after gambling again. We should learn to accept defeat when we see or notice it is obvious because there is no two ways about gambling if it's not working it's not working so one should stop for the main time.

For anyone on a losing streak that has started chasing loss already, the best such person can do for himself is to get some rest, relax a bit because if such person continues, he will continue to lose and it might lead him to doing some silly thing to make he gambles and we know what that means, although it is not all that easy to fight back when someone is in such mess, but there's nothing such person can do apart from making sure that he stops because I have not seen anywhere it is written that gambling is for everyone and even though he will continue, for the sake of his mental health, he has to wait for sometimes, all these are been caused by individual mindset for gambling and we must help ourselves to overcome it.

Issues or problems that are gambling related are often as a result of careless gambling decisions, like not applying any form of discipline to our gambling activities, this is usually where a lot of gamblers miss it.

First, we are made to understand how important it is to gamble responsibly, and maintaining responsible gambling will require some discipline, else, responsible gambling will be like a resolution that is written year after year with absolutely no accomplishment.
Losing in gambling is way more easier than winning, losing is like the normal outcome of all our gambling activities while winning is like the rare outcomes, this is why we celebrate any time we encounter a substantial winning amount because we understand that it's not easy.. But pending when the winning comes, we must make sure to always keep things under control, example is the way and manner at which we are spending on games.

Truly discipline is an important factor to be considered by any one gambling. Looking at gambling from afar may seem easy and friendly untill you are in it before you really know it gravity on a persons financial status.
To me gambling does not require much of time to determine it results but luck, because the more time it takes from you it gradually turns into addiction and does not warranty a successful results at the end of each time spent.

Exactly, gambling shouldn't be something to have any plans of stay long, as far as one is gambling on the budget they have, they don't have to stay any longer once their budget is gone, because the longer they stay, they more chance they will got to still gamble more by wanting to chase their loss and this will not yield out any good results.

Budget allocation strategy plays a very important role in gambling to avoid addiction. If you lose your allocated money, then you can successfully stop yourself from gambling addiction if you don't deposit again. But discipline is also very important, because I have seen some of my friends, when they exceed their budget, they make a new deposit and start gambling again because they try to chase their losses very aggressively, but fail in the end, so many people do not get rid of gambling addiction even by setting a budget because they don't care about responsible gambling.

[Juicyhome]

I only gamble weekend, because Sportbetting is my favorite and many games are in weekend, I don't gamble everyday to avoid unnecessary pressure or addition, I'm a smart gambler, I gamble when I'm free or have some spare cash to waste, any money I transfer to my betting app it seems to me as waste, since I can't waste money everyday I stick to only weekend betting except it's champions League games.

I won't advice my enemy to even gamble everyday,it will mess you up, I don't believe gambling was designed to be play everyday, one has to make a good schedule to when to pay gamble, but avoid everyday gambling, engage yourself with something else.

if the bad luck is too much, I will suggest you take a break from gambling and relax for a while, it could just be the anxiety that is killing your vibes and stopping you from maximizing your winning potentials and chances, once you give it a break now, you are most definitely going to come back stronger and better in your chances. Gambling can be so interesting sometimes particularly when you keep getting the same outcome despite trying again and again to get better. The situation can change at anytime sometimes, on the bases of the mindset and luck coming your way. I like your perseverance towards gambling consistently but at this point you should take that break for the safety of your health and your wealth.

A whole lot and still boils down to one thing: we win by luck. That's correct, but we don't always have to make it look as if gambling is bad. Losing if you are gambling in the right order should be considered as the payment you make in exchange for the entertainment you go there for and not for you to say the demerit is very high, as if there is some kind of mental reward attached with playing responsibly.

[Hewlet]

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

Gambling above 30 minutes a day is not a right gambling approach and at the same time, it is not advisable to gamble above a day or at the most two days a week because anything that goes above that will eventually lead to potential gambling addiction. you should work on a small time that you will normally allocate to gambling and at the same time the numbers of days per week or month you are to gamble and also how much you are willing to play with within such period of time. if you don't keep your gambling lifestyle in check you will think that everything is going on well until things gets really ugly.

I could say that the time limit should be the utmost players should think of because that could help in instilling discipline, as they would definitely call it a day when it seems they have exhausted their time limit, as they have mapped out for their game exercise. If a player is very conscious of timing while gambling, they could be able to control their gambling encounter always because they know that time is of the utmost priority to their gambling life, and that would help put them on check.

Visible to the blind, audible to the deaf man that’s new
But sure, it’s pretty obvious that gamblers tend to lose more than they win and this is essentially due to the house edge. It’s only a newbie that knows absolutely nothing about gambling that’ll be naive to this fact, and that’s why we record more losses, gambling mistakes and even addiction among newbies because they’re mostly the ones with this misconception and most of them tend to learn the hard way.

I will also say that this is a common mistake that happen by the every beginner when they come into gambling. I will also not gonna take this as that must offensive until they make the things again and again.

Because if someone makes the same mistake over and over again, it is no longer a mistake. It is basically the result of stupidity and greed. If this is noticeable in someone when it comes to gambling, there is a high chance that they will become an addicted gambler in the future.

Many people forget that among the assets in our lives, besides money, we are also given time. And as wise people say, it is very difficult to replenish it, but it is spent very easily, and therefore few people follow that they can really devote a lot of time to gambling, while this person could open his own business or just spend more time with his family.

Therefore, we should all be careful about wasting our time. After all, while we are young in life, we should enjoy this wonderful time. It won't come back to us, and our children will only be young for a short period of time, and we should also enjoy this event. Well, gambling should be dosed in any case in terms of money and time.

True, time plays a crucial role in the lives of people and if its mismanage, it can't be reversed. So that is why its necessary for people to make use of their time wisely, which they will be happy about it and how far they have come and not to waste their time in something that won't be valuable in their lives or can't contribute to their growth in life, not that it's bad to gamble but one has to do it, with the idea that there is a life outside gambling and the earlier they realize that, the better for them.

[WhoYouCantKill]

Time spent gambling is an indirect indicator of interest. But if this time is very significant, then your interest in gambling is likely not just intense, but pathologically intense. Therefore, in answer to the question in the topic title, I write that time spent gambling can sometimes be an indicator of addiction. It is a very simple and effective tool for measuring addiction, so if you have any suspicions about yourself or your friends and acquaintances, don't neglect this tool.

Absolutely right, if gamblers are able to set limits to their gambling habits, the high rate of addiction will reduce, that is to say if gamblers are able to know and control themselves in a way that, they will know when to stop or quit from gambling will help them to overcome whatever thing that will lead them into addiction and having the knowledge that gambling will not guarantee any profits, they will not spend all their time in gambling but will also engage in other activities that will give them what they want and can achieve their dreams through it, which gambling can't offer.
