How long would you stay before gambling?

[Mandoy]

Long hours of stay in front of your computer or your stay in the casino contributes to your addiction. And so, the more time you allocate to gambling with your presence into these platforms, the more you're likely to become addicted. So, do not question that when it results to addiction because I think all of us have seen how gambling addicts react to themselves and they're not admitting that they're on that struggle already. Because they choose not to share it to anybody despite that they're spending more time to gamble than to any of their family or other important activities.

I agree with you. The time that is being spent on gambling contributes to addiction. Some people feels addiction is all about the money which one put in  gambling. It is possible for one to be able to afford gambling, now in this case  money is not a reason to make someone of this kind who can afford gambling,  but the time that is being spent in gambling can be a reason for getting addicted to gambling.

 We need to have limit in out time, money in gambling.  Some people only focus in money by gambling with the amount that they can afford to lose but neglect the time that is being spent.

They need to be aware of how much time they also allot as they gamble. Because the more time they spend on it, it means that they're liking it and if there's no control anymore, that can make them addicted to it. Someone can say that they're still fine and ok but little did they know that signs of addiction are already there. And the longer that you're staying in the casino where you gamble, it means that you're going to have your focus on it and that can give you either losses and more emotional problem and heartbreaks.

I concur that time is significant as both of you have stated with regard to gambling addiction which at times is even more so than money. One can afford to gamble, but when he/she continues wasting time making bets, the habit can gradually convert into his/her routine. The fact that people can afford their losses makes them believe that they are still in control, but they do not give much thought on the amount of time that they are losing. It is not sufficient to set a limit on money and not to control time. In my case, I would set a limit on the length of time that I would gamble and as soon as it starts interfering with my daily life or concentration I would cease the activity.

  The question should also be, what makes gamblers to spend more time on gambling. And we have to know that losing would never made a gambler to waste his time there. But when he wins, he would like to stay in the casino. And those gamblers that spend more time in the day on the Casino are the addicted type. No responsible gambler will spend much time to gamble. They have other things to do and only spend the spare time.

A couple of factors can push a gambler to gamble more than their are expected or they planned for, this thing there is that once a gambler failed to work with a limit and leaving everything to his senses, he can easily get carried to gamble more that he should.

So the best way to overcome and avoid that from happening is to have a set timetable for your gambling activities and always you have to make sure to follow up with that principle since that is what will guide you away from using emotions instead of following order and timeline.

Those losses are also going to make them feel emotional later on. Right now, they'd say that they're in control and those losses won't matter a lot. But we'll see that happen once they start going for more. The money that they're losing, we don't know if they can really afford that. Because someone who's losing so much can still say that and yet, the reality of his pocket is already in danger and they have nothing left anymore for other important bills. So, the long they say, the more they will lose and the more bills might be affected by them but they're not acknowledging it.

Covering up major losses with the false pretences of having self-control is the first step towards a painful financial destruction on any individual. Unstable emotions will prevail in all the family when crucial bills are not paid to satisfy curiosity. Through such denial behaviour, we come to the understanding that it is sincerity with oneself that will help us hold on to whatever is left. Maturity which means we quit on time ensures that we have a secure future.

[Sammye3]

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?

Over the number of hours spent on gambling, one factor that could contribute to addiction is the mindset because that is the root of all analysis and decision making. The wrong decision would definitely end up in regrets and lack of discipline would always yield bad results.

So it does not really matter how long I spend gambling or how long i stay before gambling but rather the mindset behind every decision taken.

Quitting on the times that you know it won't work anymore is maturity. Although we can't be sure of the future of what it holds. But that action gives us the kind of help that we need. So the amount of time that we spend particularly in gambling, it doesn't become healthy if it also starts to affect our family. In all lies on how to become a responsible gambler. It's okay to gamble but you make sure that you're not going to affect other things that you do in your day to day life and the relationships that you have with your friends and family.

[ejikeme24]

You're right, majority claims that they are going with positive mindset while they are not. And i also agree with you when you said that responsible player is one who decides how much money they're going to play with of course this thing you said here is a good example of a responsible gambler, a responsible gambler don't allow gambling to have control over them just as most gamblers are been controlled by gambling while they are supposed to be the one controlling it, so as a gambler you should not allow gambling to have control over you.

If responsible gambling is about controlling how much money you spend and seeing how far you can go, within your own limits, there's nothing more to add. If a person does that, it's clear they have complete control. What they need is tremendous discipline to not spend more than they've planned. That's all. Greed is another thing they must control it shouldn't appear.

Yes, this aspect of greed need to be well taking care of because greed is what makes most gamblers not to stick to thier decisions most at times, I have seen a gambler who has been gambling responsibly from the onset but at some point he start doing a different thing, I'm sure that greed must have kicked in because it is only greed that can possibly make a gambler to loss focus I mean not being able to stick to thier decisions so if a gambler can be able to control greed then they  can easily Stick to whatever decision they make while gambling.

To avoid being an addict you have to set the time frame you engage in gambling, so that you will be able to control yourself and don't gamble out of budget.

In gambling one needs to have self control and know how to manage your time properly, so that you don't spend all your days in the casino leaving other necessary engagements untouched.

You have to schedule when will be perfect for you to gamble either daily, weekly or monthly .

[LastKiss]

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.

I can afford to add funds to my account, but that would mean I've gotten off track and broken the rules, abandoning the discipline I must strictly adhere to to avoid getting into a terrible situation again. For me, it was a time of financial disaster. I spent many years trying to get out of it. And it all happened because I violated my limits. I thought I could sort it out later, but everything spiraled out of control. Before I knew it, I ended up in debt to the bank, having lost it at the casino.

Getting yourself into debt with the bank is already a warning sign. I guess it will make you learn from your mistake. We realize that ignoring the rules and abandoning discipline we set for ourselves can have serious consequences. I’ve once been in your position, where I kept adding more money to the bet but I ended up losing a lot because I lost control. I’m glad it didn’t get worse and I immediately learned from that mistake so I wouldn’t repeat it again.

It's incredibly influential. The longer we stay on a casino site, the greater our potential to become a gambling addict. We've experienced this, and I'm sure you've felt the same. It's best to close the site or delete the app if the money we've allocated for gambling is gone or we feel we've had enough winnings for the day. Some people never know when to gamble, which leads to their addiction. This is the most fundamental trigger for gambling addiction.

I wouldn't say things didn't get worse. On the contrary, at that time I was also laid off from work and was left without my only source of income. Just imagine my situation. Debts, a loan, and no money to pay back anything. I didn't even have the means to live. My fate had turned its back on me. It was a real dark streak. I didn't even want to live. I had never been in such a difficult and challenging situation. I couldn't get my thoughts together. I was constantly depressed. I would never wish such a state or find myself in such a situation on anyone.

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.

You, more or less, described how I gamble. If I lose all my balance, which almost never happens, I don't deposit more to "win my lost money back". I say to myself: "I've had my fun. Maybe even more than were needed, I lost 5 times more than I could easily afford to lose, but I will definitely not deposit more today, nor will I do it tomorrow. I will stay away from gambling for a week now."

[Orpichukwu]

Those who gamble specifically for gambling to change their life are really lazy in life. There is nothing wrong with expecting to win from gambling, but everything is entirely wrong for you to start chasing profit as if it's your parent company; it can only lead to destruction, and just only a few out of many who are in that position don't get addicted to gambling because they later realize their self on the way, but those who are deeply involved never see anything wrong on their part.

I believe that those who consider gambling as a shortcut to getting rich to change their financial situation will usually not get any positive results, the results of their activities will ultimately give them something that will only make them spend their days in despair. They never get the results they expect from which they want to change their financial situation, but because of the constant play they continue to play in anticipation, they only keep losing more and more. That is why we should never make any decision based on emotions, if we cannot limit ourselves to reality, then the situation will definitely take a terrible shape for our financial situation.

Those who are feeling that way and believing they can change their financial situation with gambling know exactly where they get that from because it can't be from just watching some online testimonies of those who are winning; that can't be it. If they are to study about gambling before they even start, they should be aware it's not something you can perfect a strategy for that will guarantee stable winnings; they will only be leading themselves to a streak loss in the long run instead of that life-changing amount. Cases of people really making it with gambling are rare, and we should all learn about it.

And greed is one of the issues we must address we must consider this feeling in our pregame planning and somehow neutralize it so it doesn't resurface. This is something that can be worked on as experience grows, but it shouldn't be overlooked. We can have the best plan of all, but if greed appears, it destroys any advantageous strategy.

[knuckey]

It's very influential. Long hours of playing will trigger the temptation to continue gambling without regard for the costs, regardless of whether it will deplete our vital assets or not. This is especially true if we've already suffered a major loss. If we persist on gambling sites, the temptation to seek revenge for previous losses will quickly arise, and we won't stop until we win again. This is a loophole and trap used by site owners to lure us into addiction.

[Ronsbit]

The willpower helps one to factor out their decisions and adhere to them because it is just like guidelines one has set up for themselves to follow, so as not to make any mistakes. Any gambler who can be able to set up a budget plan for their gambling and adhere to it is a principled player, and they do not easily fall for any gambling techniques that could keep them in a gambling house for that long. Once their time for playing elapses, they find their way out and call it a day. That is how a responsible player reacts to their game days, and they do it with dignity.

The thing is, it's all as you say, very few players take the time to say what they can do and how much they can spend. For me, a responsible player is one who decides how much money they're going to play with and how much they're willing to lose. There's no point in spending all your money and ending up with nothing A smart player figures that out and plays calmly without any problems.

in fact if not all gamblers will do this, majority will want to argue that they don't gamble often and claiming what they are not really doing as gamblers. Gambling is not becoming profitable like I have been making money before because of many factors that I don't even know most of them and why gambling is becoming unprofitable like the way I used to make profits.

To some, gambling is profitable, and to others it is not. The way it favours one might be the reverse of another, so it is vice versa. In all, playing responsibly is or should be the ultimate goal to making sure one is on the right track. I am of the opinion that gamblers are the only ones that can convince themselves to play responsibly if they really want to so after listening to advise or opinion of others which is just an input on how they could gamble responsibly.

I always support focusing on time. Because the amount of time you spend gambling and how often you play is the biggest factor in addiction. I think the more you play the more your risk of getting into trouble increase

Again I have seen many addicted or compulsive gambler who spend 20+ hour in a week to feed their addiction. This clearly show how time change a person's behavior. So it is not just about losing money but playing for a long time and repeatedly can get you stuck in a habit loop that will be difficult for you to get out of. so I always say setting time limit is much more effective than controlling your bankroll

Gambling is of course different for everyone, generally speaking, those who are responsible gamblers, derive entertainment from it, but those who continue to gamble with unrealistic expectations, ultimately face ruin. Therefore, it will bring results in terms of your gambling intentions and personal perspective of the activity. Therefore, the decision has to be made individually, those who realize their wrong actions and can shape their mindset to get themselves back on the right path, they can ultimately get themselves out of that risk here, but here everything depends on themselves.

I support you both in the point that gambling is a risky attitude to treat it as a means of modifying the economic state of affairs. The second one is hooked when they rely on it as one of the sources of income. People should not resort to gambling as a way of solving financial problems, but rather as a form of entertainment. Majority of those pursuing profits end up spending their money and time unnecessarily. The truth is that winning is not something that is always guaranteed and the house is always winning. The only solution is that once a limit is drawn and it is time to walk out, one can avoid very severe losses.
