How long would you stay before gambling?

[Odusko]

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.

I feel the same way because when I play, I don't depend on time, I depend on my money. If I have money, for example, about $7, which is what I usually risk in my gaming sessions, if I take my time, there's no problem. If I don't have time, less than 5 minutes, but I've already spent my money, I don't play anymore, because my money is what determines my position. For me, there's nothing more important than that.

I use my bankroll deposit as a timer to limit and control how much time I spend on the game, most times even though I may feel like gambling more than I should,  but once my balance gets emptied I will walk away so for me basically I don't put time but I always withdraw my winnings each time I get them, although sometimes the game may favour me with more winnings at this point i decide to take my profits and walk away.

I also think that we should gamble responsibly and try to keep it as secret as possible by promoting it to everyone.

This statement is contradictory..if we should gamble responsibly and keep gambling secretly, why should we be promoting it to everyone...something you do in secret does not need a promotion...

Because naturally people can look at gambling in a bad light, since it is directly related to money. Therefore, people may make bad comments about us without knowing whether we are gambling responsibly or whether we are addicted to gambling,

Actually gambling doesn't have a good name, if you're a gambler it's left for you to gamble responsibly or not, listen to people out there, you may commit suicide. Because so people who doesn't gamble, condenm gambling to the extent that if you get close them, they will be looking at you as a wayward person....

so it is better to keep it secret, but of course the responsibility aspect should be taken into account first. We have to be responsible first, because if we continue to gamble uncontrollably and keep it secret, it is even more terrible.

A gambler should gamble responsibly, that's a highest advice a gambler should adhere with, is to gamble responsibly, so it will not be addicted or gambling affect his household.

I believe that the major issue regarding this question is not the duration of staying in front of gambling but the control of that time. Daily gambling or unnecessarily spending time in a session, can be a cause of quick decision making, and addiction very easily. The set limits, be it time and money, should be adhered to strictly. Discipline and risk awareness bring about responsible gambling. Each person will have their way, but the only way to make a difference is to be consistent in how you are managing your budget and when to quit.

You're right, but this has many facets because each person manages their way of playing as they prefer. I can't adapt to a person who plays at the casino all day, firstly because I would spend all my money and most likely I wouldn't win anything. If I play a little, that's what has given me the best results. Sometimes a 5-minute session played well is enough to get the result we want, but we must accept that the most important thing is not so much the time but the money that was risked, lost or won.

Being obsessed with something usually ends badly or even disastrously especially when the very thing we?re obsessed with carries significant and certain risks.
For those chasing victory it?s no different from being obsessed, and it?s likely to end badly.

Actually, if we pay attention to ourselves we?ll avoid things that could have a negative impact on us. Setting our own rules with the goal of avoiding unwanted outcomes isn?t easy, but I?m sure it can become a habit if done consistently including setting good rules for gambling such as discipline.

Absolutely true and absolutely right. Any obsession ultimately leads you to destruction, be it for unrequited love, be it for gambling, be it for any passion. Obsession never brings good things. Better to have the right balance.

after all, it is just a way of entertainment, so it is better not to expect more from it.

That's the basis of everything; we can't take the activities of the game as unique because things don't work that way It's a game, it's entertainment Gaming isn't a guaranteed income either, much less a salary that can be obtained every time you play. It's entertainment, the basis of gambling, and that's not something to stray from.

There arf more important thing we need to do with our time not thinking about gambling everyrime.
People are using their time to make money, thinking about businesses that will give them money where they continue to invest in different sectors to multiply how much they will be making and earning from their business. There are time we ought to take our mindset away from gambling because people are not really making it from betting. It is very hard for you to see a millionaire that got his money through gambling because casinos are the ones that are making most money from gambling.

It's a fact that things are this way, but there's a behavior that always repeats itself: when a person wins at gambling and, let's say, becomes rich, most of them go back to being poor because they take on the life of a rich person, forgetting that money runs out, and that's a reality. Money runs out no matter how much there is; if they don't make the corresponding investments, there won't be any more money.

I can take breaks from gaming for weeks or even months because I have a lot of work and I would rather spend my free time with my family and friends since they don't have much time left. But if I'm on a business trip or on vacation and have a little extra time that I can spend alone, then why not play if I'm in the mood? Gambling doesn't occupy the first or even second place in my life.

Well, you are speaking the truth but many gamblers find it difficult to know when to stop or quit from gambling which expose them to gamble recklessly and deprived them of enjoying the essence of gambling without passing through the pressure of stressing one's mental health. Which will make them to navigate through ups and downs in gambling by staying grounded to the target they set for themselves. Which they can also manage the risks involved and make better decisions that will impact them postively.

Balancing emotions is the way to have a peaceful state of mind, where one don't have to think much about the potential outcomes, which they are ready to except anything from gambling and avoid anything that will lead them into becoming addicted, because being unable to control your emotions and balance it, there are very high chances that the results will not turn out to be what one is expecting to be, which will totally make them feel disappointed and unhappy.

Indeed, and most of them will gamble back and chances to lose everything is not by far, those who knows how to invest take a wise decision manage to keep their finances, but those who are not, they just go back and bankrupt themselves, similar to what you just said, it's important to have that investment or business mindset inside you, it helps a lot to keep you away or prevent you away from losing what you can't afford to let go.

I believe that this strategy is rather reasonable as it is more about control instead of pursuing time. There is no time constraint that can be put on spending, which makes time irrelevant in gambling easily. The trick of timing your bankroll is a good one to be disciplined, as when you run out of money, you automatically run out of session. It also averts the emotional decisions particularly following losses or even huge victories. I also enjoy the thought of making payments every now and then, since it would lower the urge to continue playing. Finally, it is not the length of time one remains, but rather how well one manages his or her limits.

I haven't played poker for many months, and I'm glad that my life is filled with exciting and important events that keep me from getting bored. Even though I have a lot of responsibilities that take up all my energy and thoughts, I'm productive, and I love this state of mind. It's because I don't chase emotions in life; I chase results. If I have money, I'll have fun. If I'm only looking for emotions, any unpleasant situation can easily destroy my positive emotions, just like the wind can blow down a house of cards. It's hard to be productive, I know, but that's how the world of successful people works..

I agree with you and I don't agree with you at the same time, because you're right about productivity. For example, every guy should understand that he's a future father and should take responsibility for his child, and if he can't create a stable cash flow and is a gambler with unsuccessful results, then it's not a serious approach. However, I disagree with you that many gamblers have already achieved success, such as becoming financially independent or having grown children, and therefore they have the right to have some fun in online casinos.

Why do all this crazy effort, balance, but let ourselves be overwhelmed by emotions! we are human, we are not artificial intelligence.
The point is to get overwhelmed by emotions but not create damage for the future, it seems easy to me.
Set a fixed budget and start spending or playing.

You are right. If emotions are measured in a balanced way in gambling, it will not work in the favour of gamblers because gamblers often fail to control themselves while betting. This is one reason to push away addiction, but often gamblers have a mental inclination not to gamble excessively, but the increase in losses does not allow them to stop at the appropriate time.

The argument you have presented about gamblers being unhappy gradually leads to addiction because as long as gamblers have a liquid financial flow, they repeatedly fail to control themselves. The principle of bankroll management provides a reminder to gamblers to control their emotions that they need to stop on time.

Please always stay on the mode that makes you happy and peace of mind. The mind of losing when you are on the poker table is not there again for now. Emotions in gambling has empty many gamblers and today they are regretting it. Gambling is just a choice one make. When he has money and he likes to play some games, he would visit casinos to play and if he doesn't want, he would stayed calm. Be on your good mode/mood.

But if I'm on a business trip or on vacation and have a little extra time that I can spend alone, then why not play if I'm in the mood? Gambling doesn't occupy the first or even second place in my life.

It can be done, what shouldn't be done is to play and do it because it's believed to be an obligation. Sometimes playing doesn't imply playing for a long time; with 3 or 5 minutes of high quality, we have enough to say that we are satisfied. Whatever the result, we should be satisfied; we are doing it well and we are not losing control. Ideally, we should feel good about what we do in the time we want.

Enjoying leisure time with activities of your choice is everyone's right, as long as it doesn't interfere with more important matters. A sense of obligation does not create a balance between responsibility and entertainment but an activity which is done out of real want, not due to a sense of duty creates a balance between responsibility and entertainment. It is admissible to spend such a little, consciously time to give a feeling of content without losing control of oneself. Attitude maturity is a guarantee that each action induces inner harmony and is not going to upset the life order.

We don’t need to be machines to be able to control our emotions. Even as humans, it’s possible and crucial to manage and balance your emotions, especially when dealing with issue that concerns finances. This is because it gets easier to allow our emotions to overwhelm us, and a lot of things can happen while this happens, a lot of this can go wrong, so it’s better to try as much as you can as a person and as a gambler to avoid such situations, rather than being there and trying to fix things or trying not to allow your self cause some serious damages, which is most likely to happen when we allow our emotions take the wheel.
