How long would you stay before gambling?

[GiftedMAN]

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.

The easiest way to become addicted to gambling is when you become a regular visitor to the casinos not minding anything it makes you to get exposed to the game and it gives you another mindset of false hope because everyday you become a critical thinker who believes that you will out win them one day, even when you don't have money to gamble you will be ready to use anything you have because you think you have known their strategies. Do not make a casino home your place because the more you visit the more addicted you will become and it makes you become more comfortable there instead of thinking of a way to get a better job.

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

The total time spent gambling and also the frequency with which you gamble or visit the gambling site plays a huge role in determining whether you’ll become addicted to gambling or not. I say this because I have tried it with video game and the result I got was shocking.

If you spend lesser time gambling and also create a space and don’t just play everyday you’ll have enough time to don something else and remove that dependency on gambling from your life making addiction less likely to happen.

Then again, there are people who get addicted to things in their first try so the total amount of time spent gambling won’t really matter when it comes to those type of people.

The scenario you've just sighted above is the worst stage of addiction, and the easiest path to this zone is overconfidence. being too confident in your skills, even when your your repeated losses has already made it clear that you are simply chasing shadows, but you still feel just one step closer to finding the easter egg and finally cracking it. This is also called an endless loop, because even when it's clear you're engaging in a fruitless chase, it's not always possible to take that U-turn.

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.

How can someone who is addicted to something still be disciplined at the same time? Is addiction not a result of a lack of self-control? If I'm able to manage my time and money properly, there is no way I will fall into gambling addiction; it's only when I lack self-control that the addiction will take place. We have those who are less addicted and those who have totally lost control; among both, they are still all in the line of lacking self-discipline.

Yep. If someone spends too much time in gambling, he probably becomes addicted to gambling. That's why it is important to have the limit of time and funds. In many cases, people become addicted because they gamble in careless way. They have no limit in funds, no time management, and set unrealistic goals. These must be noticed to anyone, we can't ignore these matters while playing gambling games.

You're right. If someone can be disciplined, they won't be addicted. And when people are addicted, they are unlikely disciplined. Addicted people probably have no self-control, especially when people get severe addiction. It is impossible to expect addicts to be disciplined.

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.

Gamblers show signs of addiction not only on losing money but also on gambling. However, those who gamble correctly and adopt strategies and gamble for a long time do not face signs of addiction, in the current situation, if a new gambler shows signs of addiction, it is about losing money. Therefore, those who lose money in gambling show signs of addiction and gamble for a long time. However, you have to budget your time and money for gambling and it is better to budget a small amount, if you enter the game of gambling with a small amount of money, the chances of having fewer signs of addiction are highest.

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.

Setting a limit is highly important as a gambler because it gives you a reminder that you shouldn't exceed a certain period of time. This might seem irrelevant but it is actually very important because this is necessary to make sure that you don't get addicted to gambling. Some people might have other means of keeping theirself in check asides from setting a limit, the goal is to gamble responsibly.

Imagine feeling overconfidence in a game that wasn't programmed to favour you is that not the biggest risk of all time, the hope keeps you going but in gambling hope dies the moment you no longer have money to continue gambling that's why no one should think they will win if they do not stop gambling because once you become addicted you will find it very difficult to get out no matter how much you try o stop yourself. No need to chase anything once you lose just stop gambling.

The time you spend in doing anything in life usually determines how good, or how invested you become all through the process of trying to have "fun" like they often call it. Now in the case of gambling, there's every level of certainty that you may improve your choices as a result of spending longer periods in a casino, but it comes with an awful price-- a price that you may even end up paying, unfortunately with your life.
Let me ask a quick psychological question; if time equals money when put into a profitable job/business, and you spend 10-15 hours daily in a casino house, do you think you're making or losing money? Cause it all depends on what you're investing your time in.

[TheUltraElite]

I don't think its right considering the time spent in gambling as a time lost in life, as it may contribute heavily to someone's financial upliftment.

Like one person winning a jackpot versus a thousand others losing their initial wager? Does not sound like upliftment to me. It can be a source of entertainment, short term dopamine rush indeed but not a source of income.

have you also considered that gambling can serve as a source of income to some people even if not all

To the casinos owners and employees yes. Not to the players.

and in other to get the best out of gambling one must sacrifice time as its a game that requires full concentration and focus to avoid making serious mistakes on the process of gambling which may cost us alot.

The concentration put in gambling will have little effect on the outcome, because luck gets involved in between. If your luck is bad, a well thought out bet might end up bad.

To me I don't consider the time spent on gambling as a wasted one because I know the positive impact of gambling in my life

Well I do hope you get some positive impact. But I am of the opinion that gambling is a source of entertainment and not income.

I disagree, because they are certain about it, and they are more disciplined than anyone else.

True gamblers know when to stop and when to quit. Even though we have limited gambling experience, if our goal is entertainment, addiction is unlikely to happen.

It is not a question of how long we stay gambling, but the real question is whether we have the capacity to stay longer. It is better to consider our finances, not our emotions. It is better to think that we are gambling for fun, not for money.

[jcojci]

Limitations must apply in gambling avoiding spends much time and more money. If you cares, you will not spends too long just to playing gambling. Many things will changing if you do that, including the increasing of the emotions regarding the outcomes you get.

It is okay if you win but if you lose, you will regret and there is a will to get your money back without thinking about more losses you will get. No right total hours spend in gambling because that will depends on you. But it is better to limits the time to playing gambling avoiding bad effects that can happens. If you don't follows this, you can get addicted to gambling and also draining your money.

[CryptoYar]

One of the most effective ways to fight gambling habit is idea of Time-Based Self-Control since number of hours you gamble directly changes way your brain will get changed.
After hours of being in high stress state because of high level of brain chemical moving throughout body, your brain will go into dream like state where you will forget time and important tasks, and see game as need to stay alive, not hobby.

Specialists suggest that you should be able to put your limits at very high level i.e. have most session of 60 minutes and 4 hour break period, so that your brain paths can be reset and avoid lasting harm.
Eventually, spending time may be as bad as money lost therefore, using something such as phone timers or internet tools to form what can be called strict limits is must in making game safe fun.

Your methods of time limits that you recommended during play on time are quite reasonable to safeguard our mental health against adverse effects. I have observed that someone who is engrossed in gambling without taking a break is unable to reason about the desperate outcomes which are going to be experienced. The realisation of remorse at the end of the storey is an indication that we have transcended beyond reasonable limits in exploiting the financial resources that could have been used in other ways.

The passion to recover the money rapidly is only a romanticism that will bring us into the abyss of complete and utter destruction. It is important that each of the players sets serious personal rules not to get stuck in the addiction circle negatively influencing each other and family, and the community. The only way to avoid losing everything in the fleeting pleasures is to avoid emotional impulses in case of losses. Hopefully, this will come as good advice to lead a calmer and more peaceful lifestyle in the future that is not interfered by the economic cost in any way.

Some gamblers will think that setting timeframe for gambling is too rigid afterall it is something that we're doing for fun but they forget that gambling is addictive and if you don't set a timer for your exit you might stay for longer time that can drain your money faster. If you must be a disciplined gambler you need to apply self control to guide against traits that leads to addiction, areas of interest are your bankroll management and time spent. If you get it right in these two aspects you will hardly be addicted to gambling. Don't expect to be a responsible gambler overnight it is something that takes practice, as you're making efforts you will become a complete responsible gambler with time.

It could also correlate on how small or big your budget is, obviously, when you have big budget then you can stay that long in the game. But if you have just a small budget they maybe in the next 5-10 minutes you are going be busted.

So I'm not sure if this is a good measurement to say that someone is going to be addicted or what. Still remains on how much money you are willing to spent. As big bettors can also lost very quick if they bet on max like in slots games.

I agree on this, Even you spen so much time on a casino or gambling online, Time doesnt matter as long as you stick on the budget and just having fun. not skipping anything important and that time is meant for you to relax and enjoy. Gambling is fun and people wants to be entertain as long as they can, on their free time.

Gambling a few minutes doesnt mean you are not addicted. You might spending the cash you can spend for that  gambling, that is addiction.

Possible it has an impact on the number of time you consume when playing gambling because the number of games you played increases the number of the time you are expose in playing gambling of course the higher the time frame given possible you might entertained, but for me I have a tons of thinks needed to do so playing gambling is aint my focus just a leisure time for approximate I guess giving a time for an hour to make a bet or watch my favorite team have a match at the same time placed a bet, now for the weekend possible it might increase because i have more time and wanted to get fun of watching the match or else playing cards in the Blackjack.

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.

You are right, the use of time in gambling is very important and that includes the concept of wise gambling. If the time spent gambling is too long, then it is beyond wise gambling, even if the results are profitable for us. Spending too much time gambling should not be done because, apart from causing us to lose control, it can also cause us to suffer greater losses.

It is essential to avoid spending playing time dragged into a whirlpool of emotions that distort the level of common sense. Spending hours staring at the screen will continue to put the threat of financial destruction at a further overall cost to us in the form of slowly depleting our savings. A short lived victory will never make it worth to lose our head in the way we run our day to day routine. We should learn that huge losses always loom over any person who cannot get out of the gaming table once the time elapses.

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

Usually, it's less than 30 minutes per day if it's slots, dice, mines and games like that, and I can also spend several minutes playing cash games in poker. But if decide to play in a poker tournament, it can take 4 hours or even more, but that happens rarely, less often than once in a months. I would like to warn people against playing slots for hours because, in my opinion, it can lead to addiction. Not only slots, but all purely luck-based games.
