How long would you stay before gambling?

[Asuspawer09]

For sure, the longer hours spent could easily result for a lot of gamblers to be addicted, I mean addicts are mostly the one the is spending a lot of hours on something, you wouldn't really go to say someone is addicted to something if they are not doing it for a unhealth time of hours. If they only gamble for 30 minutes and stop already, you wouldn't really go on to say that they are addicted to gambling, but if you see someone playing and gambling for like 24 hours straight, we would probably assume already that his and addict.

Still, I guess the thing is you just still need to control your finances on it, have some kind of budget when it comes to gambling, and as long as you are not playing for too long the hours wouldn't going to matter a lot, I mean a few hours maybe is going to be fine as long as you are spending only with a budget.

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.

I do not take the time I spent on gambling seriously, the last time that I gambler was few days ago but less than a week, I spent less than an hour but yet I had time that day to gamble but I just stopped when I lose the whole money that I was using to gamble. But if I won, it would have been the same because I will also stop gambling.

So time is not my problem while gambling. Timing is not what can help against addiction. What can help against addiction is your mindset towards gambling, how discipline you are and your money loss intolerance. Only what I look at while gambling is the money that I deposited into the gambling site.

I am not implying that keeping to time is not important, it is also very important but not keeping to time is not what caused gambling addiction but it is not still also a good thing.

A lot of people don't seem to realize that time is an important factor when it comes to gambling, the amount of time you put into it would determine the type of gambler you eventually become. Not taking the time you spend on gambling is a good approach, regular gamblers have a high tendency of getting addicted to gambling. Spending a lot of time gambling is dangerous because It also leads to more losses.

[junder]

Time spent on gambling means time lost from other things in life during a 24hour cycle.

In that way one can quantify how much something is taking up of their daily lives and indeed indicate an addiction if the numbers are high enough.

I feel a control over the time and money spent on gambling is important if you want to gain a control over this habit. Without moderation, it can go haywire and hurt a lot of people.

Having limits and discipline when gambling is crucial for preventing addiction.

Many people gamble without paying attention to these factors, leading to addiction problems that can even impact those around them, such as their family.

Wise gamblers will be able to limit their gambling time, avoiding excessive gambling, as they know that overdoing it will only lead to problems.

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

When you do anything in excess then there always chance of addiction and so is true with gambling, if someone gambles for long hours daily or weekly then such type of activity could cause addiction. Because during gambling session one feels high levels of dopamine and one wants to continue having the dopamine again and again and that will come again from gambling.

Since we know that gambling without money won't be enough to give good levels of dopamine and it's also true that winning against house isn't possible and thus when someone plays for long hours then chance of losing gets more and more and such losses can alter emotions like sadness and guilt. One also tries to recover his/her losses so he/she can get dopamine again, and such type of long gambling activity leads to gambling addiction.

Exactly anything done in excess can become a problem and gambling is no exception. The dopamine effect is real like that rush from winning can make someone want to keep chasing that same feeling over and over again. The dangerous part is when it shifts from entertainment to emotional dependence especially when losses start triggering the urge to win it back and like every starting to crumble from there and that chase to recover losses is where many people lose control because it is no longer about strategy everything now is just about emotion and this is where addiction just dominates so we have to try to be more self aware and taking action when we see ourselves getting to  that stage.

Still, I guess the thing is you just still need to control your finances on it, have some kind of budget when it comes to gambling, and as long as you are not playing for too long the hours wouldn't going to matter a lot, I mean a few hours maybe is going to be fine as long as you are spending only with a budget.

Gambling for more hours can actually result you to been an addict, but again, if this gamble is still within the budget set aside for your gambling activities, I think it is safe to say that it is not a big deal of a problem. Addiction is not good in general sense, but being addicted to something good and beneficial to you shouldn’t be termed something bad. And in the case of gambling, even if you’re an addict, as long as you’re betting under a proper risk management, and not spending more than you can afford to lose, then I think you’re good to go. The longer the hours doesn’t matter to me, what matters most is you not getting overwhelmed to get back at the market after a loss knowing fully well that the funds you’ll be using upfront after that will not be from budgeted one for the gambling.

It is very important to set a time and money limit for gambling to maintain self-control over yourself, thereby limiting your own boundaries. It is good to remember that gambling is mainly for entertainment, and it is better to use the money that you can afford to lose for gambling, thereby reducing the amount of risk. It is better not to spend too much time gambling. Gambling by setting a specific time will not waste the necessary time, and when we gamble for a long time, we cannot maintain self-control over ourselves, which increases the possibility of losing money and may lead to addiction. So I think it is better to manage gambling by setting a specific time.

Agreed, although priority for me is to set limits in budget, then time used for it. But that's just me. I have other (not so good) habits that take way more of my time then gambling, so it's not eating my time away.

It used to be a problem when i was playing poker tournaments. And i had to change my plans because there was a tournament round coming.

Even though very few things are more interesting to me then reading people, the time it takes away from my friends and family is a price that i am not willing to pay.

I am thinking even if i ended up playing at top level, it still seems more like a gamble then a career, as i couldn't predict my income.

[Byebyebtc]

While gambling is for entertainment, most people still gamble recklessly no attached emotions tho but they spend alot in gambling,
Reckless gambling is not only for the addicted, even the ones who are gambling for fun also gambling recklessly.

So as a gambler the best thing to do is that before gambling you should conclude how much you are willing to loose and then keep it aside for gambling, This is one of the major way to gamble responsibly, at least you can start with this.

[Dr.Osh]

True gamblers don't really care about time, true gamblers are usually addicted to gambling but they are more disciplined, their experience teaches them to stay within safe limits because true gamblers know how to manage their finances and prioritize financial security over the time spent.

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?

How much time someone spends gambling will definitely affect or determine how easy or hard the person gets addicted to gambling, but I personally think the mentality the person have in the whole process contributes more to the person addiction or non addiction to gambling.
For example, I could spend like an hour or two every day gambling and if I am very conscious of every thing I am doing and all the decisions I take while gambling, it will be hard for me to get addicted, but if I gamble carelessly, and very careless with my gambling decisions, there is the possibility that even if its 30 minutes I spend on gambling everyday, I will easily become addicted to gambling sooner than later..

So, as much as time contribute to gambling addiction, I think the mental state of the person behind the games plays a much more important role in determine whether or not the person will become addicted or not.

Most people, time spent on gambling doesn’t really matters to them , but i believe if they are disciplined and prioritize other things , I think time spent on gambling will definitely slow  down , access of everything is bad , paying so much attention to gambling always, will result to addiction and all your money will end up on bet without you knowing it , so having other activities and also having budget on so so amount to spend on daily or weekly helps a lot of people to be  in check when you are doing too much .

[Japinat]

They say time you spent with gambling is a wasted time. This is true if you are not having time discipline with gambling, that you end up gambling without setting limits and just gamble until your fund ran out.

But if you have set your betting limits, time and the funds allowed to lose, your stay in gambling will still be align with discipline and time and bankroll management, thus you are still gambling responsibly and gambling addiction will be far from possibility.

[Onyeeze]

On a norms a gambler is meant to set a time before gambling so as to avoid going beyond their limit, I know majority of the gamblers don't bother setting a limit while gambling that is why the rate of addicted gamblers keep increasing over the years but as a gambler it is very necessary to have a limit some people claims to be responsible in gambling but they don't have gambling time all this things is what qualifies or make you to be responsible because failure to do that would make you an irresponsible gambler.

many people who is addicted in gambling today where are detailed because they don't have a strategies in gambling and they don't also have a limit for participating in gambling, anyone that does not have a limit in gambling that person do end up in losing, so therefore every gambler is supposed to have a limit and also have a budget and the work on them so that they will not exceed the budget they have in gambling any Gambler that exceed gambling budget that means the gamblers The Gambler is likely to become addicted to gambling

[Davidvictorson]

While the thing that can be implicated in gambling addiction is multifactorial, I think one of the strongest contributing factors is time spent on gambling. I strongly believe that if we did a correlation analysis of gambling addicts, the result would show that there is a positive relationship between gambling addiction and time spent gambling. That is, the higher the time spent gambling, the more addicted the individual will be.

[Ziskinberg]

The longer you spend time with gambling, which also means you gamble with bigger funds, if these cannot be controlled, gambling addiction will surely develop in the long run.

A lot have become gambling addicts not because they are rich and are more capable to gamble, but because they have no discipline in theirselves and they gamble like there's no tomorrow, and just decide to leave gambling whenever they already lose a lot and when they feel frustrated already with the results.

With uncontrolled time and gambling habits, gambling addiction will always be the end destination.

[Hypnosis00]

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.

As long as there is greed, even the games have become boring, these gamblers can't stop themselves from gambling especially if they have been losing already a huge amount. And most of them are gambling addicts, so they don't just gamble for their greed for money, but they gamble its because their mind can no longer stop them from satisfying their gambling addiction.

At the end of the day, gambling is just all about time management and responsible gambling, if you can't do it, you'll definitely fall into gambling addiction.

[AYOBA]

Time management in gambling is also very important and should be well managed at all cost. Their is this stuff about time management once you spend a very long time in gambling you're likely more to be addicted to gamble because the longer hours you spend in the casinos house or sports betting centre the more bet you keep placing regardless if on an advantage of winning or not , all you just want is keep pushing to please your dirty desires for it.

Yeah, this is what all gamblers need to understanding about the gambling they should aware that time and management is one of the biggest factors in gambling which every gambler have to be managed well in order to limit their lost, because some people’s are to rushing themselves when they come to place a bet instead of them calm and love wisely but they won’t and that’s what is leading most of them to lose big amounts of money in gambling.

[Makus]

Time is a crucial aspect when it comes to gambling, the number of hours you spend gambling increases your chances of either losing a lot of money or getting overly addicted to it. For a lot of gamblers they get pained only when they lose money but they fail to realise that time is also an important factor that they need to consider as well. The time you put in determines what type of gambler you are

[Wakate]

There are people that called themselves devoted gamblers and can spend a whole day in the casino or gambling shop watching soccer and also playing bets before they will leave for their various homes. I know some people don't have a job and it is better for them to turn to gambling maybe that would help them to make some money they can be using to take care of themselves for the main time without knowing that addiction is closer to them.
