How long would you stay before gambling?

[cxtreenal]

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.

It is not enough to just cut down on your gambling time; it is a good idea to limit your funds. A fixed financial goal does not leave you with an unlimited amount of time, but rather limits you so that you can reduce your losses to a minimum. Some people may spend more time gambling if their weekly budget is still intact and they believe that spending more time is unlikely to cost them more funds. Spending more time gambling on a regular basis is not a good idea because you cannot be sure that you are using the funds you have properly.

I agree with you, in gambling it is necessary to maintain financial control, everything is necessary, as well as limiting time is important, it is even more important to set a specific budget and limit it, so that the loss limit never exceeds our capacity. Everything is structured in such a way that if we spend too much time here, the gambler's emotions become very deep and as a result, the possibility of losing control increases a lot. And they can easily go beyond their capacity by making emotional decisions, but this is what we have to control and for this, discipline and awareness are all important.

Owning a hundred percent liability on all the bets that we make means that we are still in charge of our own economic situation in the family.

And that's one of the things that drives me the most. In my case, I can't let them down. I have a unique responsibility to them. In fact, I'd say my children are my driving force for everything That's why, before making any hasty decision, the first thing I think about is whether it will be good for them or not, If I see that everything is okay, then I go for it, but if I feel that I'm putting them at risk, I back down.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

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.

Lucky are those who realize when they are about to gamble continuously but decide not to do so because they are aware that it is the wrong thing to do, especially since borrowing money to gamble can result in double losses. Gambling has a high chance of causing us to lose money, and we have to repay the borrowed money, but since gambling tends to result in losses, that is where the double losses that must be overcome come in. You are correct in saying that gambling is a game of chance with no guarantee of winning.

I've changed my emotional state so much that I can simply walk away from the laptop screen for a while, and the slots will spin on their own. I used to watch and feel a kind of excitement, but now it's gone. I wouldn't say I'm completely indifferent, but I don't succumb to excessive emotional stress. Is it practically nonexistent? What is it? I attribute it to years of gaming experience. I can't explain it any other way.

Good point.. Limiting time alone will not really solve the problem if your money side is still open…. Some people can be like I will only gamble for one hour, but if is is loss they are chasing for that hour, the damage will be done for that 1 hour..

So setting a good and strict budget will force discipline.. because once that limit has been reached, there is no reason or justification to continue.. we should know that the more time you stay gambling, the higher the probability that the house will catches up..

[Betwrong]

Motivation is usually very common among gamblers; you become addicted over time, but addiction can be managed in two ways: the first is the most difficult for a regular gambler, which is to stop gambling; the second is the restrictive one, which is to define rules independently and adhere to them rigidly.
Gamblers are meant to make winnings by "having fun" there's no point in hiding behind a glass bottle, we all do it for that.

If you mean, we all hope to win big while having fun, I agree, but there's a difference still between playing to relax and playing to make money. Those of us who play to relax don't feel bad after not winning anything or even after losing $10-$15, because winning wasn't the aim, the aim was to relax. But if a gambler who's aim was to win is losing $10, he doesn't want to stop, he wants to get it back at least, and that’s when problems can start.

It should be well coordinated between the time you'll going to spend together with the amount that you are willing to use, either one already been reaced better to set that limit to make sure that you won't force yourself to chase for anything, I agree with your statement that even you only targetting specific time frame but if the outcome did not go to the direction that you anticipate chances to add more money can take place and that's also may trigger you to extend your time to stay, strict discipline is needed to practice setting up your limitation.

Most gamblers cannot control themselves without financial constraints in gambling. As you said, financial control forces a gambler to be disciplined. It is certainly logical that if you are mentally prepared to spend only an hour gambling, but during this time you may make a profit or a loss and if you have sufficient funds, you will not be able to finish gambling within the stipulated time because even if you decide to maintain mental control, the available budget will not let you stop.

The amount of funds you allocate for gambling during the week, combined with the profit and loss, at the end of the week there is an excess amount of funds. You may spend extra time gambling, but if you do not have funds at the end of the week, you will not spend extra time gambling because your allocation is exhausted. And this strategy makes a gambler disciplined.

[LUCKMCFLY]

So I try to just avoid all the dramas and focus more on sports betting where I know that it’s real time and it can hardly be manipulated.

And that's the best part, sports betting never really disappoints us because it only depends on our decisions, and our decisions are what make us win or not. It's similar to trading; we have to do things right for things to go well for us. Having good analysis makes us free because we win. The same thing happened in sports betting; we win because we know who we are betting on.

I've almost forgotten what winning even feels like. It's just bad luck. I wish I'd won at least a little, but I still can't achieve it. It's strange, I've never experienced this before. I've had losses, but not that often. Maybe it's time to change my approach to the game or choose a different one altogether.

I had the following strategy: spin the same slot until I win, but it's not working. I've been spinning the reels for over a month now, and there's no result.

[Nwada001]

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.

And when a gambler forgets to take the most principal rules of gambling into account before they start, they always end up being among those who say they are being hunted by gambling while they set themselves up with their own mentality in the first place, and once they are not winning as they hope for, they begin to chase their losses since there are no rules set to protect them from revenge gambling.

[Bigjoe33]

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?

The major problem here is that people have concluded that gambling was created for income, and many gamblers all over the world sees gambling as an income revenue avenue for them, and so, once it is gambling, they get so loosed and beyond control. If not for this, why would an income earner use up to half of his income to gamble, with an uncertain hopes of doubling his income and/or increasing it with gambling. Even when they notice that all the money is been used up, they keep on gambling, hoping and wishing that they will be lucky and make up for the lost money.

How long will I gambe? For me, I don't have a specific time, bit am sure I wouldn't sleep at the gambling hall or site. If I intentionally go out for gambling purpose, then I have an amount mapped out for this gambling, and once that money is done, off I go. So the time I would spent in gambling depends on the amount I went with and/or my winning ratio. There is every possibility of increasing my stakes if am lucky and wins while still gambling with the prepared money I came with. But if I have won, then I must go home with some gains. Am not so addicted that I lost all I also won, no way

The gambler himself is primarily responsible for developing a gambling addiction, not anyone else. In the beginning, when a gambler starts gambling by following the correct rules, he loses money by gambling, but he can also gain money by gambling, but this is within his limits or control. When a gambler gains money and becomes aggressive in the hope of winning more money, he faces losses in all aspects, such as facing financial losses, losing self-control over himself and falling victim to gambling addiction. So I think that by gambling with the right knowledge, one can protect oneself from losing money and from gambling addiction.

But if a gambler who's aim was to win is losing $10, he doesn't want to stop, he wants to get it back at least, and that’s when problems can start.

Gamblers who gamble purely for fun will regularly set aside a fixed amount of capital they are prepared to lose. When they lose, they stop and don't force themselves to continue gambling because they've had enough fun. Even when they feel they've had enough fun and are bored, they stop without spending their set aside capital. And when they win and are lucky, they still stop when they've had enough fun and will continue gambling when the urge to have fun or fill their free time and relieve stress from work arises.
This differs from those who gamble with the goal of making money, because their goal and ambition is to make money. If they don't make money, they will continue gambling until they succeed, which is actually the beginning of an addiction that will only worsen their suffering if they don't recognize it quickly.

I will like to know the most principal rule about gambling at least that will help me to understand more about gambling for someone like me that is open to gambling. I am ready to learn more from people that have good ideas on how we can gamble without causing more harm to ourselves. There are so much risks in gambling and gamblers need to be smart when choosing when or how to gamble.

Yes, I think that many recovering gamblers use the metaphor of being hunted by gambling to explain their addiction, which is technically caused by their naive form of gambling while chasing the thrill and the big win with the feelings of just one more, ignoring the most crucial aspect of gambling, which is safety first before focusing more on the thrill and big win.

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

IMO, the total hours spent gambling will affect your gambling especially in terms of addiction. If you gamble without time management or spend too much time gambling, it will have a significant impact on both your finances and your emotions. Gambling without proper time management means you won't know when to stop and you might even stop when your money is gone. Spending too much time gambling will also damage your mental health especially when you lose. In essence, gambling too frequently without a time limit can lead to addiction.

Even if you do anything too often without a time limit, it will have a negative impact because you will unintentionally lose all control over your emotions and finances. So, in essence without a time limit on gambling is a key gateway to addiction. The longer you gamble the more uncontrolled your gambling becomes which will ultimately lock your brain into that pattern.

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

Gambling is a game of luck and also a risky game too, and as such, it is advisable to gamble with what we can afford to lose, and also, when gambling, we should do that for fun and not with the mindset of making a profit, because that is where the problem sets in. Gamblers who are addicted always face this problem of recovery because they gamble for profit, and in some cases, when gambling, they lose out, which makes them want to recover their losses because they exceeded their gambling budget or limit per game they have played that game session. This is why having discipline and self-control as a gambler is very important because it guides you to being responsible as a player.

The outcome of gambling is mostly based on luck which is not guaranteed. Therefore, none of us can consider it as a source of income. But if someone wants to gamble, then the money for gambling should be determined after meeting his needs and he should play with the money that will not have any negative impact on his life even if he loses it. And this is basically responsible behavior. One should not expect too much from gambling but should have a realistic view that here you will not be able to win money regularly and there is a possibility of winning money as well as losing money. However, those who bet again to cover losses are basically a sign of addiction and such a mentality may lead to greater risks. One should have control and discipline within oneself which does not allow a person to go beyond the limits and helps a person to make decisions responsibly within their own limitations.
