How long would you stay before gambling?

[Iranus]

You're very correct, the more someone keeps gambling the more they will  lose, and leaving will be very difficult. Setting a time frame in  gambling is a smart way to practice self-control, what makes gambling fun, is when you treat it as entertainment.  but when you're not getting that excitement and you keep playing  the fun will no longer be there again, And it may likely turn into a habit. Many gamblers continue gambling not because they're enjoying it but because they find it hard to quit.

The most important thing in gambling is setting a budget. Or money  management. If we can set  a budget for gambling, and do not spend a  certain amount of money on gambling . Then naturally our self-control will increase. And this will help us to stay away from gambling. But if  we are not aware of the cost of money, do not have self control, then gradually we will become  addicted to gambling. Setting a budget and self-control are very important if we want to keep ourselves  away from the harmful effects of gambling.

First I have job neither offline and online just getting free at weekend so gambling not purely my dedication and play for few minutes sometime just at the weekend, I priority at sport betting only exactly for football match if weekend have many matches will pick which interested match to place bet and not purely waste my time at gambling.
I don't know why many people looks not boring when spending much time with gambling however has much winning or loss but you put your self at boring position, if I have many free time I won't spent all for gambling and looks make me easily get boring. I don't make gambling as my dedication but have fun only if have free time on the weekend.

[Fredomago]

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."

I can't afford to go over the limit even by a small amount. If I do, I'll break discipline and start contradicting myself. After a loss, I don't dwell on it, so as not to occupy my thoughts with unnecessary information. Why do that? It only immerses me in a more negative environment. I simply postpone the moment of enjoyment until next time, and that's it. I feel much better this way. It doesn't affect my personal financial situation.

That's a type of a control where you can say that you are in good side of your gambling participation, knowing your limits and practice good discipline to continue following your setup, it's tough most of the time especially when you are in middle of excitement then suddenly something went wrong and your selection did not favor you, those situations mostly lead you to push but if you have discipline then you can move forward and quit your way to stop.

[nimogsm]

Clearly, time significantly influences the likelihood of addiction. One thing to remember is that gambling is full of temptations, meaning the longer we play, the greater the likelihood of addiction. When you see so many tempting temptations, your interest increases.
This is why we always recommend implementing time limits in addition to allocated money limits.

I'd add that those with whom you interact daily also shape your habit. For example, if you and your friends only play gambling games, there's a 99% chance that one of you will become addicted. But if you spend minimal time on games and spend most of your time on work, family, and leisure, addiction simply doesn't have a chance.

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.

There is no doubt about it, we as players must decide how we will be or what kind of players we are going to be. I have always decided to be a responsible player for the simple fact that I have my obligations Everything changes when you have a family to support and a wide range of things that depend on us. It is not right to risk a large amount of money on the game because it would not be intelligent, it would be extremely irresponsible, not with myself but with my whole household. For me, that is enough to do things right.

You would be some freak on discipline if you are able to keep to that for real. Discipline is you having to displease yourself over the things that your body might want for the greater good which is aimed at you too. So, it’s usually not easy since, you are in the middle of it all. I admire you having to do that if you can but, I haven’t gotten to that level yet. I still break protocol at times, it hurts me to do so but I do because, I’m not so much of a control freak. However, I have fair gambling experiences.

That's why it's good to have a budget why been into gambling, gambling is all about risky, and someone is not suppose to use amount of money that it will lose and it will affect his household or a business and gamble, if someone have a budget in gambling and be determined on how much to spend in gambling neither weekly or monthly, it's clear that his spending in gambling will not affect his household..in gambling no game is sure, and every winning in gambling comes by luck.

This is more of your personal experience than what everyone can say. I have had friends that we have bet and share ideas together and the guy still gamble more than me. Guess what, we both are not addicted to gambling because we have what we do outside the internet and we have time for other things we enjoy doing. Apart from other sport, I do spend much of my weekends either playing table tennis and also ah snooker ball with friends and strangers.

If you refused to make gambling a regular place for money making, you are likely going to be addicted to gambling even if you are making money from gambling. Somethings are not about money, there is more to life to be enjoy than gambling from morning till evening, it's doesn't make sense gambling from mornings to till night. Gambling safe awareness is very important for everyone so you don't end up with bad coins.

I agree with this analogy: friends who are into the same thing and do it all together—only a few out of many will be able to escape addiction, and some will get addicted among themselves since they will encourage one another to gamble. Nobody will be watching and advising each other to stop; the influence will have an effect on the person unless they try to break out from that circle of gamblers.

[Dunamisx]

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

Addiction does not come by gambling handle time, but instead by how we act and behave when gambling with doing other things in common or together, while another serious factor is indiscipline, which this can cause a lot when we are unable to manage how we can be effectively such that it's does not bring a wrong implication upon us at the end.

[Versatile_choice]

I can stay for 3 weeks or one month without gambling especially when there's international break, sometimes I can stay for two months that's depending on the time the break will end. While on a normal day the number of weeks I could stay without gambling is 2 weeks let me not make too much exaggeration, but I have never thought about doing this experiment this current time, If it were before I used to do it more often just to discipline myself.

But don't know why I have not been doing that this current time, I think it's because of the fun, I'm still enjoying it that is why I didn't think about that all this time.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Your points are best within your view and perspective, same applicable to others as well, so if you gamble for profit and still observe the gambling principles, then that is fine. And you should also note that what works for you might not be feasible for others, as everyone has their own approach towards what they do and engage with. However, it will be nice to hear from you how you gamble for profit and still be able to gamble within the confines of the gambling principles that you feel you gamble responsible. We will be glad to hear that.

It's a fact that things with people are different; each of us has a different way of thinking and acting. Above all, in gambling, we must be people with a lot of maturity and responsibility, or we must exceed the limits because in the end, all that is lost is money, and that's not the idea. We must be very consistent with what we want, so being responsible for me starts with the good management of our money.

I concur with you that it is critical to place the boundaries so that we can keep abstinence of the negative aspect of gambling. In my case time and budget determine how long I stay, but I have always made up my mind beforehand. When I get to the end of my tether I immediately cease, in success or failure. Gambling must be an entertainment, and not one that we feel compelled to carry on. Once the excitement has been taken away and it has become a habit, then that is the time to quit. The key to being safe is self-control and appropriate money management.

Yes, I might be a bit of a disciplinarian. I don't deny it. There are reasons for that. I had to go through the difficult process of paying off debts and loans I lost gambling. Therefore, I can't afford to go down that road again. It would be a very painful blow for me, one from which I might never recover. Only strict adherence to the rules gives me hope that this won't happen again. I'm even somewhat afraid of that experience.

To keep yourself safe in gambling, you have to be careful on your own. Everyone's nature, thoughts and intentions are different, so everyone's feedback may also be different from here. People start gambling for entertainment, but due to excitement, it gradually reaches a stage where the possibility of financial loss is very high, so we need to give great importance to setting a specific budget from the beginning and not going beyond that limit. Maintaining such self-awareness is very important, as a responsible gambler we should maintain full control over how much risk we are taking and when to stop.

You have really hit the nail on the head as far as gambling ceases to be fun once it takes control of you. I consider that time constraint and money constraint are crucial. Although one may have a budget, living too long may make him or her make emotional decisions or pursue a loss. Hence the reason why we should have a set time frame in which to commence. Individually, I feel that after the time stipulated, it is time to move on with it, whether you win or lose. Such discipline will assist in gambling remaining as an entertainment mean and not becoming a bad habit with time.

In that case it's no longer a game, it becomes an obsession. This can happen with many things, with smoking, with alcohol, with sex.
We are not safe from anything, which is why i always say that we must be careful and above all fight against ourselves.
Never give yourself discounts, follow your own rules strictly.

If you want to gamble in a disciplined manner and maintain self-control over yourself, then you need to fixed a time and money limit before you start gambling. If you lose control over gambling, the amount of losses can increase significantly and gambling can even turn into an addiction in your life. Therefore, you need to gamble with awareness, it is very important to set a time and money limit before you start gambling. As a result, you can maintain self-control over yourself, protect yourself from big losses and protect yourself from the risk of addiction. Always remember that gambling is mainly for entertainment, gambling with the mindset of making money is not right.

Self-control and self-awareness are so important for a gambler, and is only a discipline person that can possess those qualities. It is very important to set limits while gambling in order to prevent spending lavishly in gambling. The amount of money you use to gamble matter a lots, so that you should also have the capacity to fulfil your responsibilities towards your home and family. A responsible gambler will never abandon his responsibility and his family will always be his priority. And again, they are certain factors that a gambler must put into consideration before betting including the state of your emotions. As a person, you will know yourself more than anyone, and you will also know what can affect you physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically. If lose is going to affect your health in any way, then the best thing is to avoid it totally. So people may be expecting so much in gambling, and it doesn't work that way. It's is normal for an individual to feel anxious when he or she lost, but it is also important to control yourself and don't let your emotions get to. Greed is one of the major things that can lead a gambler to destruction.

It is a must to be wise as a gambler and when a gambler tries to make money without checking the risk involved, that is when they will realized when it's too late. It is abnormal to be gambling everyday and this can easily become an addiction.
There are so many people fighting addiction because they are not aware of not ready to fix their problems before it's too late.
