How long would you stay before gambling?

[rachael9385]

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.

What's stopping you from stopping in time? Perhaps an excessive addiction to gambling? That's a possibility, but it's far from the same. Perhaps it's greed that drives us to commit stupid acts and make ill-considered decisions, which lead to a chain of negative consequences that take years to sort out. That's how it was for me. A few reckless actions, and I had to spend years paying off the bank loan I took out to play casino games. It was simply insane. If I look back on that time now, I don't even recognize myself. I was overcome with some kind of madness back then.

A lot of gamblers also have similar stories about their gambling journey as well, getting to that point where you take loans to gamble and being in debt has to be the height of it all, I know someone closely that is currently going through such and cannot seem to recover, fighting this and bouncing back from it is commendable.

Taking a loan to gamble? What's the need and why will someone take a loan to gamble when they can either take a loan to invest in something that will yield them a profit and later they can use the profit to gamble which I see as a good alternative to taking a loan to gamble. There is no guarantee to your gambling and it is better you forget about gambling first and pursue a more serious investment that will make you profitable.

@wakate, how long would you wait before you make the profit from your investment to use for gambling? How many gambler would exercise the patience for that shit. It's easier said than done and that's why at times we should be realistic on certain issues. A chronic gambler can never think to this path where he would have to utilise rather profit from investment to gamble than taking loan to do so.

I believe an individual is not supposed to engage in gambling until they are back to their calm state of mind and they can engage in gambling without feeling greedy, pressured or even the need to recoup their lost money.

In my opinion the best thing to do in such a situation would be staying away from gambling for a few days, Taking a break enables people to think calmly once again and alleviates stress. Then it is easier to understand that gambling is not a solution to any kind of problem.

So I personally think that if someone views gambling as only for entertainment, they will be more careful. Then they couldn't take unnecessary risks and they will within their limits, this also eliminates the possibility of big losses a lot.

They keep playing with the belief that one day they will win big and recover all the losses, but do they ever get effective results? Not at all, rather the losses keep increasing. That is why it is important to get out of it at the right time, when we start giving it extra importance, it will get worse for all our situations. Getting out of gambling addiction is very difficult but not impossible, we need to get out of it to protect our mistakes and the future, but before that we need to realize it.

Getting out isn’t as easy as it seems, especially when they already have that mindset that the casino now owes them, they’ll definitely see quitting as the very last thing on their plate as the goal remains to first recover all those losses, they’ll keep channeling all their efforts and resources towards achieving that one goal, except they attack that mentality and mindset from the root, then they can be able to make better choices and even quit peacefully without feeling they have unfinished business they need to go settle.

If a gambler gets into debt for gambling, it is sometimes easy to repay the debt, but in most cases it is difficult. Gamblers who cannot control themselves try to loan money for gambling. Once the debt burden becomes large, it is very difficult for them to repay the debt. Until the gambler understands the matter of his addiction, it will not be easy for him to return to a positive course. If someone loses by spending his own money on gambling, it does not affect him, but if he loses the borrowed or debt money, the gambler may become addicted to gambling at some point to recover that loss.

When you start taking loans, it means that you are already in a very, very bad situation, because to play and have fun you don't need to put in too much money, in fact you only need very little. If you start putting a lot of money into it, it means you have a problem, but a fairly serious problem.

[ZeroVinsonN]

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

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.

For someone who understand the risk of gambling, this kind of mentality saves their butts to lose more, as instead of chasing their losses on specific day or session, they just treat that losses as payment for the enjoyment that they avail trying see if luck will permits them, it's also the key factor that will lead them to quit and accept the outcome.

With a good control and discipline you'll both enjoy and may take some decent profits when you hit your target when fate leads you to win then you manage to quit in the right time and cashout your profits.

I still stand on my ground when I say that people who are always desperately trying to win back their losses are the reason who gambling in general seems to have a kind of a bad reputation, do you try to get your money back after going to a cinema to see a movie? Even though you might end up not enjoying the movie there is no way for you to get your ticket money back on a regular day but some people decide on their own to gamble but when they lose they start acting like they were forced to gamble in the first place, looking for someone else to blame.

[Onyeeze]

I think the timing is a major factor, too, because players tend to think that since their budget is not yet exhausted, they could play it all out and that is another issue that needs to be addressed as a gambler because it sounds alright since you have not exhausted your budget but it could also influence your gambling time as well because you might be tempted to stay at the gambling house whiling away your time just ebcasue of the fact that you play win loss and win making you have enough to gamble and so doing you burn your whole time at the casino house and it also is a sign of indiscipline on its own which needs to be addressed by the gambler.

I think what you should study is the moment you're playing , If you feel unlucky and some time has passed but you've lost a lot, it's not your day It's better to quit and play another day it's the best thing you can do this is something you should always do to protect yourself Besides , it's playing Intelligently , not playing just for the sake of playing , which is a very Common mistake that many people make.

Do you know that some people doesn't calculate or reason gambling in such manners, when a gambler is losing, especially lose twice at a spots, they doesn't withdraw their involvement in gambling, i believe that anyone that uses this method by quiting in the gambling when you notice that your lose more than twice and that will not favour you, it better to forget about gambling for the day as you, but some gamblers will insist to gamble

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

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.

where are saying almost the same thing because gambling is a luck and the any one who is into gambling supposed to know when to gamble because of the risk that is involved in gambling, i know very well that gambling is all about risk, even though you gamble and lose, that doesn't mean that gambling is against you, but the most important thing in gambling,  is to gamble with what you can afford to lose and also have a limit so that you will not gamble more than your limits

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.

Just as you said, discipline is the key to enjoy the essence of gambling. Though it might be difficult to exercise it in gambling but that is the only option for one to be able to overcome whatever thing that will lead into addiction and when one is so strict about being committed to their self discipline will help them to stay stick to their budgeting, even though gambling might not be in their favour at the moment but maintaining that standard will prevent them not to go into debt or loan just to satisfy their desire for gambling, which will be protecting them from any mental issues.

How does this borrowing to gamble really just start? Because it's not something they just jump into deep debt with all of a sudden; maybe it's something they start with borrowing because they have money they are expecting somewhere down the line, to where they don't even have hope of repaying, and still they borrow with hope of winning and paying back from the gambling winnings, and when it doesn't happen, they enter into deep debt.

I believe that the primary issue for many gamblers stems from not understanding that gambling involves more than simply playing games and winning. Moreover, there are several factors that every gambler should take into account prior to engaging in any game to avoid the negative consequences of gambling.

I won’t even advise someone to take a bank loan for a business they are not sure of talk less of taking bank loan from a gambling game, that sounds like some bold crazy moves to me really. It is already an obvious thing that gambling is a game of luck and you are not guaranteed of anything that plays out of it, unless if you are ignorant of this, I don’t expect anyone who is fully aware of the nature of gambling should be talking about anything around borrowing money to gamble.

you are correct it is a bad decision to take loan and use it to gamble. It means the person doesn't really understand what gambling is . There is no right thinking person that would take loan just to gamble and moreover nobody will want to loan out money if they are aware that the purpose of taking the loan is for gambling . However, it is not a bad idea to take loan for business , gambling is a game of luck while business doesn't rely on luck.

Only people who are severely addicted to gambling will borrow money to gamble. People who are heavily addicted to gambling tend to do anything to make money and use it to gamble, even potentially committing acts that could harm others, such as stealing, robbing, and so on. However, in my opinion, this doesn't mean they don't understand what gambling is; it's just that these people are already in a confused situation. Because gambling offers the chance to win, this is what makes them place hope in gambling, which ultimately leads players to continue gambling in pursuit of winning.

The longer you stay on a online casino the more stupid ideas will keep coming to your mind, most especially on the beginners who think that gambling is a merely fun thing to do.

People who take loan to gamble don't just start it out of nowhere, they are once using their own money until that creepy thoughts filled up in their head.

Gambling is fun, only if you sees it as fun, some gamblers also want the fun part too but they ended up losing their motive and rather start chasing money to make.

If you start winning in gambling you will think that the path is all yours.

Exactly it is only an addicted gambler that will entertain the idea of borrowing money all because they want to gamble. Gambling isn't an investment or a business that people would want to think of borrowing money to invest in with hope of making profit. Gambling is a game of luck and the chances of winning isn't guarantee at all. Infact the chances of losing is very high when compared to that of losing.

You may makes a wrong decision for recovering your losses back. Many gamblers gets doom because of that and only lose more money without they can imagine.

Those who take loan to gamble will difficult to repay the money especially if they lose it in gambling table. The lender will always asking the money but how come the gambler repay if they don't have money.

You should not stay too long in gambling especially if you only want to have fun. Just use the amount you can afford to lose and that is fine so you can stop gambling anytime.

You should not thinks to continue gambling if you win because that will not guarantee you to win more so quitting gambling is the best decision ever.

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?

Like they will always say, there's time for everything.  As a gambler you should be able to separate time used for various activities including your personal life, work and family. Don't spend too much time gambling while there's a lot of things to do in real life. This is why many have fall into addiction but sill didn't recognise on-time. The earlier you realise you are becoming addicted the better you work towards solving it. The hardest part of addiction is when you aren't seeing yourself as addicted and when others approach you about your habits you see them as bad people or even insults them for their good deeds..

[Oluwa-btc]

Yes, there's a direct correlation here. I remember a time when I spent hours on end in a brick-and-mortar casino, one with no windows or wall clocks. Time flew by so quickly that I didn't even notice the entire day passing. And what happened? I became deeply addicted to gambling. I couldn't live without it. I visited various similar establishments every day, of which there were several in my city. I ran from one to the next as if they were honey-smeared. In reality, it was developing into an addiction.

Just like the time invested on productive and unproductive activities shapes outcomes, gambling works the same way.In gambling,the longer someone stays,the more attached they become to the results.Minimizing and limiting gambling hours not only significantly reduces harm exposures,but protects your well being entirely.
