Have you ever gambled at 'out of place' place?

[Die_empty]

Many people think of multitasking as productivity but gambling while doing physical exercise like a treadmill can disrupt your focus and impair your decision making skills. So if someone is going to gamble they should at least choose a time when their mind is calm and there are fewer distractions. This makes it easier to stick to their financial limits.

Multitasking in an action or event that requires concentration might lead to a loss of money. Some people claim that they are good at doing several things at once, yet they make serious mistakes. For casino games where the gambler is just required to click a button, multitasking might be tolerated. But when it comes to games that require thinking and gathering of information, multitasking will cause more harm than good. Allocating time for gambling is ideal to avoid costly mistakes.

First of all if I say about my region it is not the gambling friendly and most of the people here take gambling as a negative think just like those person who gamble they are not a good guy.

And considering this surrounding issue, I have never tried online gambling in front of my family, so there is no question of me going out and gambling in an open place. And besides, I personally don't like this kind of gambling. I think if someone wants to gamble with friends, they can do it at home or visit a casino, but in an open place, it seems not good.

I remember that in another topic not long ago a member asked about betting live inside the stadium, because being there one could possibly take advantage of a supposed time gap between something happening on the field and odds updating accordingly. But, although it is very frequent to see people betting while watching their favourite games, to me this is betting 'out of place', because you should be enjoying the match with all the senses.

If we talk about gambling, it is even worse because, as many of you said, gambling online requires a lot of attention, unless you're simply spinning on the go or playing similar automatic games.

If I understand your comment well, you're from a region where gambling isn't subscribed to by the people there and that makes people not to gamble publicly. I think in such places are where you might likely see people gambling in weird corners and places so not to be caught that they're gambling due to the feeling of being termed a negative person.

The taboo culture of gambling provides an enclosed environment where gamblers can work in secrecy. They seek hiding places as one of the ways of escaping the negative judgement of their surrounding individuals. This proves that social norms play a great role in shaping our behaviour. When one decides on a private space, this is an attempt to preserve his or her dignity and evade negativity. This act proves that environmental forces tend to push people to stay out of the limelight.

My usual place when I am engaging in gambling is in front of my personal computer, since it is the device I usually use to gamble online.  I am not fond of gambling on mobile because the visuals are too small, and  I can't enjoy the detail of the interface.  So, for me to be "out of place" while engaging in online gambling is when I am using my mobile phone.

That's good but its important for you to remember that gambling is for fun and entertainment, which you don't need to have the mindset that you can be doubling your money in it, because that will you into having serious problems by making the mistakes of gambling irresponsibly. Which is essential for one to follow up with the right knowledge of it, which will support and help you to abstain from things that will make you to gamble with a mindset that doesn't allow you to enjoy your time while gambling.

As for me, never at place 'out of place'.

I read a post somewhere about how a tax driver was gambling with his phone while driving. One of the passengers confronted him, telling him that he was risking their lives. And it turned into a serious argument. A colleague in my place of work gambles in the restroom during work hours.  

This might be associated with gambling addiction when someone cannot control their gambling activities. Gambling needs concentration, that's why I prefer gambling in a comfortable environment. However, I have been tempted to check sports games while walking on a busy road.
  

It is highly prohibited to gamble while driving, walking, eating or exercising on the gym, or on public toilet and the rest.
You have just nailed it bro. I believe what you have said here is just the exact meaning of what the op is trying to describe. Gambling without self control can be misleading. It makes us look stupid in some situation. We should gamble during our spear or free time so that we don't gamble in public places where we interrupt or ubsruct other people's activities just to certify our a addiction or gambling urge.  Sometimes it may lead to accident due to absent minded. Expecialy the one of gambling while working on the street.we should be cautious of the position and time we gamble to avoid working against rules of some places to avoid hazards.

...Are there gamblers here like they gamble on their phones or laptops and they're on a treadmill?

As for me, never at place 'out of place'.

You have to be an expert at doing something when you're betting. I have never experienced doing something while betting, but it's possible if you don't care if you will win or not. Focus and concentration are very important in gambling if you want to get good results. If I am going to do other things, then I'd better leave gambling and just come back later after finishing what I'm supposed to do.

I don't think gambling needs distraction, in my opinion, I think it needs privacy if possible. But still every gambler or person knows how to handle their situation. But most times when you see people who react this ways towards gambling, they might be addicted to some setting lifestyle, and it's hard to admit it.

I see gambling as a game of fun and entertainment, and there is time for everything. You can't gamble while having a get-together, PTA meeting or even at the party and gamble well if not addiction. There are gamblers who will drive and gamble, which is really bad, but they do it because they can't withstand the urge of gambling, so they gamble immediately the urge comes. At first, it will look like fun, but it will become disturbing if it's not managed. ‎

Not even publicly, gambling is totally banned here, Even if you somehow come to the attention of law enforcement by gambling online here, you will still have to go through a legal process. Even here, many times in open places, if you play card games without betting, you still have to go through accountability.  I will not disrespect the culture and laws of my country here, they are right in their own way, but in this regard, if those who want to fulfill their personal freedom want to gamble online, then I do not think there is any necessity for them to gamble openly.

Gambling in the restroom at home happens especially when you want to place an urgent bet. Sometimes when there are some distractions at home like when there are visitors, you might cherish the restroom since it is quiet. Sometimes when my little nieces and nephews are around, the house is like a football field where you cannot concentrate. Gambling is a treadmill is risky activity and could cause an accident.

Gambling in unusual places or out of place depends on the type of 'out of place, some out of place can be quite conducive but some are very dangerous so you should consider how safe an out of place will be for you. If you are gambling in a restroom you won't be in danger of hurting yourself except that you will spend longer time in there but gambling on a threadmill us dangerous, you can loose control and harm yourself. When you are gambling most of your concentration are on the game so you don't need to be engaging in some other thing that demands equal attention.

I don't particularly know how the person was able to feel that comfortable gambling on a treadmill because myself imagining it in the first instance of reading the OP I was shocked that he didn't consider the danger and the grievous injury he might get himself in losing concentration. I know how gambling "rush hour' can be, like in sports when the games are just few minutes to kickoff and you wanna make sure you make your picks and place your bet before the time elapses. At that given moment and out of place can seem to be convenient without assess any risk you might be making yourself vulnerable to.

I don't consider gambling while on a treadmill unusual enough for one to gamble. Gamblers can actually pull it off like it is nothing. What I will consider unusual is gambling while driving or gambling while at the bedside of a close relative who just died (obviously people are crying from shock of the demise, you shouldn't be comfortable gambling) or gambling while in the hit of a serious conversation or meeting with your boss. All of those are not acts of multitasking or smartness, they are all acts of carelessness and recklessness.

I am not usually comfortable with gambling when distracted. Gambling can wait till I am well settled.

[Makus]

There's always a right time for everything and Gambling isn't something that should be combined with working out especially when making use of a treadmill. Gamblers that can do this are mostly those that get addicted to the game. This explains why these type of gamblers cannot control themselves even when they are supposed to. Gambling while on a treadmill is highly risky and as a matter of fact when your are makings use of any equipment in the gym it is important to be focus completely to avoid injuries.

I mean if people can walk and use their phone, why can't they gamble while on treadmill?

Well, as for me I don't gamble while working not to talk of gambling while I'm on treadmill, I know most gamblers must have done that before of Which is not going to be a thing of surprise of course since most people are gambling while they are on hospital bed how much more treadmill? Although I haven't seen anyone doing that before I personally have not done that before but I believe there are people out their who are doing it even most of us here can do it, but I don't think if it's right because gambling while you are on treadmill can make you not to concentrate on what you're doing.

People gamble anywhere comfortably if not comfortable most gamblers still indulge in gambling so long as they’re with their phone. The example set is still possible considering people always hold their phones while on the treadmill who knows what exactly they’re doing, I don’t consider this an addiction except the environment is not really suitable for gambling. Personally I love calm and comfortable environment when placing my bet, others are different and don’t take things too serious either a win or lose don’t get to them easily.

[Zigabel]

Playing out of place is something I don't do and I've not attempted because I'm a very reserved person and wouldn't want to put out there that precedence to just any and everyone who I come in contact with but with those who are close to me, I do not find it as a big deal because they know my personality beyond the gambling they see at the moment.

There are time I would want to gamble and also times I wouldn't want to so all of that helps me stay in check and not to gamble randomly and irresponsibly.  So I only gamble at home and places I find comfortably to gamble.

Now with mobile phones it's very easy to gamble in almost any context, so it doesn't surprise me that people even bet inside churches or schools, or even while doing their business in the bathroom; that is, it's the convenience of the mobile phone that makes gambling easier and easier, and that's why there's also a massive increase in gamblers.

Depending on the person on how they gambling while doing other things. Some gambling games like slot which is luck reliant and with auto spin feature can be played even if you are on treadmill or other chore since it doesn’t require decision making aside from clicking the auto spin and setting how many spin do you want.

However, I said it depends on the person since some person can handle multi tasking while others can’t which this activity can truly result to disaster once they setup wrong with their gambling.

I preferred gambling when I don’t have anything to do since I only playing for the fun it gives.

An addiction in gambling, is someone who doesn't know when to gamble and also doesn't have budget for gambling...been in the gambling platforms with your laptops or handset frequently in gambling platforms, it's an indication that the person is addicted in gambling....

But if you know your limits and you don't exceed your limits in gambling, that means you're not gambling responsibly, but a process you gamble with curiosity and that makes you unable to know your limits,

That shows that person is an addicted gambler, so I'm of the opinion that every one should know his limit on gambling....

That’s true, but doing it on a treadmill? That’s kinda like abusing the accessibility that gambling now offers lol. And honestly, this accessibility thing just made it very easy for people to also get addicted to gambling too. People don’t really have to visit the casino or stay on their desktop to access gambling, you literally can do that anywhere, while this is a game changer in the gambling industry, it’s also had some quite number of negative effects on gamblers who lack discipline.
