Your time limit in gambling.

[programmer3666]

‎Anyone whom claim to be wise will always understand that gambling is for fun and entertainment, not a place to make way out of poverty, or a source of income, the moment you see gambling as a job or freedom from financial stress, it becomes dangerous to quit, before gambling plan yourself, especially your timing is very important before placing any bet, most times you can decide to gamble just for 1 hour, whether you loss or win, you must go home, never you gamble when you're Angry, Broke, Stressed or having the mindset that you must recover all your losses, always remember that all these betting companies are Businesses which are structured the more you play the more gambling controls you.

‎So, whenever you decide to gamble it should be planned, and short minimum of 1hour you are done, this only happen when you apply discipline, most times our friends may pressure us more to gamble, please walk away because the best gambler are not those that are strong but are those that knows when to leave.

We can look at gambling as fun or a form of casual entertainment, but the honest truth is that 90% of people engage in gambling activities just to find a way out of their financial difficulties so the remaining 10% are those wealthy individuals who just do it for the fun of it or just to keep their bank account busy. Gambling is just a game of pure luck, yes if you stayed very disciplined and focused! At the end, luck will eventually find you but only those with enough resources at hand usually stay that disciplened whrn it comes to gambling. But for someone who already sees it as a way out of poverty, discipline is not even an option because all he wants is to make the quick money. There will always be those who gamble for fun and those who gamble to find a way out of poverty!

What's the use of planning time limit, what if you exhaust your deposit before that time? The best thing is to make sure you are not over gambling, ones you have exhausted all depo then it's time to back off. Gambling should not be seen as a means to make money, that's why most gamblers become addicted. They are spending too much time and effort trying to force it. If you can simply see gambling as a means of having fun, you get to learn emotional control in the process.. timing might work for some gamblers though but it won't be useful for someone who might already be addicted. The only thing is to control emotions and how often you gamble..

I actually believe that timing is not the main thing in gambling, it's the amount you are using and the bets you are placing, because someone can exhaust their bankroll within 5 minutes if they are placing big bets even if it's a large bankroll, and one might spend the whole day with it if they are placing small bets, and addiction is not only about spending a lot of time but it depends on how much you are making or losing in the process. Someone who wins a large amount initially or a few times will have a very high chance of getting addicted to gambling because they will think they can have the same results every time, but we all know that doesn't happen.

So, it shouldn't only be about deciding how much time you are going to spend gambling, you should also have enough discipline and self-control so that you don't lose control and then spend more money and time than you initially planned for, because people often decide their time and even budget before gambling but when they start, and lose money initially, emotions take over and then they start making larger bets to recover their losses, and it starts getting worse from that point onwards.

I don't think the planning here is about fixing the time alone, it could be arranging your schedule for the day. You itemise all the activities and tasks you have to give attention to like job you need to deliver, a meeting you'll have that same day and then gambling. Since gambling is also part of your lifestyle, you plan all your activities for the day so you do not end up spending more time on gambling alone and miss the opportunities the job or meeting could have brought to you. Poor planning could also lead the gambler into stressing hard to meet up deadlines of tasks he would have performed earlier if he hadn't gambled without being conscious of time.

About exhausting deposits before the time limit elapses, a disciplined gambler should know what to do here. If you exhaust your deposit, go home.

Putting time limit in gambling is still useless if you do not set budget limit. Although I understand that the more you gamble, the more losses you acquired, but the solution there is not to shorten the time you are gambling, but set allocated betting budget for you that you are manageable to lose.

Once its gone, then call it a day and stop gambling. With that, you are not just showing discipline, you are also making valuable time for your other activities aside from gambling that can still make you productive within that day.

I use timing too, but the best one for me is my deposit, I usually just limit the amount I’m depositing to my account. So for me, whenever I deposit a small amount (which I usually do) I won’t be need that timing anymore since the amount I deposited won’t be enough to last me for a very long time, unless I’m playing some casino games and keep going back and forth with win-loss but when I’m playing sport betting, I spend lesser time there.

Like what you said, all those core suggestions and precautions are in the minds of every gambler, but users still experience losses, and we see many cases of addiction every day. So, my question is, what can we do to ensure that people practice these suggestions in reality, not just read about them in theory? For many decades, we have been discussing this theoretically, and almost every aspect has been covered, yet we still face losses, addiction, and many other problems.

I believe experience is a great teacher on this case. I experienced near devastating loss before just because I’ve got cocky to still gambler while I’m sick and can’t think straight properly. Luckily on my case I manage to recover my losses on a very dangerous betting session that I don’t intend to happened.

Those experiences of mine gives me fear whenever I’m gambling in actual while I’m already losing that gives me signal to stop and never hesitate to walk away because I knew what can happened if I pursue more win or chase lose.

Experienced and fear are 2 factor in my case that helps me remind my limits.

In my opinion, gambling with a timer can cause a lot of harm. Because if someone wants, they can spend unlimited money during this time. It is not possible to control oneself over time in gambling. We have to control our own bankroll. We have to keep a proper account of how much money we have started playing with. Controlling oneself in gambling is an educational task. It is not controlled by setting a time limit. Self-control comes from our discipline, habits and concentration. It is possible to control oneself only by paying proper attention to the bankroll without setting a time limit.

This is subjective; some gamblers play for at least 1 hour in every session but do so frequently throughout the day, while others play only on weekends when they have a day off.
It's not the time, but more on your motivation and the money you spend. I have a friend who plays for a very small amount and keeps playing for 3 to 5 hours daily while on vacation. He enjoys doing it, and he is not losing a large amount of money.

The wrong path to go in gambling is chasing your losses this is something that has a lot of downsides, it leads to lots of losses and also gambling as well. Those that spend lots of hours gambling without any limits are more likely to get addicted to gambling more than other gamblers that stick to gambling for just a short period of time. it is very important to learn self control and discipline when it comes to gambling otherwise it can be very easy to get carried away. A time limit isn't all that should be set in place you must also have a fixed budget as well.

When gambling online I try to limit my sessions to under 30 mins.

Some games are especially time consuming like blackjack roulette and slots. If you have money to spend you could spend endless amounts of time. Some slots let you roll for cents per roll and take 7 seconds per roll roulette and blackjack usually take 1$ minimum but are a bit slower. So if you take it per hour you'll be spending a lot of money for sure but still it's not impossible to spend a big chunk of your day there.

Time is also worth it and too much time spent can indeed be unhealthy so time limits are healthy.

For me lately my gambling is mostly limited to a few sports bets per week which essentially takes close to zero time to place but then there's quite a bit of time spent to watch sports which to be honest I was gonna watch anyway

There is no time limit in gambling for me. As long as I haven’t reached my quota for both wins and losses, I won’t stop. Sometimes I gamble at night or before dawn. Sometimes during the day, I bet one at a time. If I win one bet, I pause and come back after more or less an hour. If I lose, I continue until I hit green, then pause. Sometimes I don’t check the result of my bet and just pause so I won’t bet continuously if the result is red. At least even if it is red, when I come back, I’m cool headed. But when I play, I make sure it doesn’t affect my day to day activities.

Having a time limit when gambling is very important, a lot of people gamble for hours uncontrollably without knowing when to stop and thsi ends up causing either unbearable losses for them or it can lead to gambling addiction. This is just from perspective but I don't see any reason anyone should spend more than 30 minutes gambling because anything above that is only going to cause more harm than good.

30 minutes is too short in my opinion. At least have a longer time, maybe an hour or less, which can make you feel better about gambling. If you measure 30 minutes as unpleasant, it could even be considered a momentary pleasure.
But I agree that gambling for too long is not a good choice because it can lead to us spending more money, which can really mess up our finances. Or it could be according to the money you deposited, and once it's gone, you stop.

If you use traditional gambling games such as slots, roulettes, dice, etc. what you said is applicable. But for sports bets where games have its own time, 1 hr is not enough. Basketball could take 1 hour to 2, even per quarter time is only 10 mins. Football is almost the same to basketball timeframe too. And you won't just bet 1-2 games, so yeah, 1 hr is not enough for sports bets.

Everything you've said makes sense to me, but I don't see anything wrong gambling when am angry as long as the anger isn't coming from the gambling outcome..
Theres been many times I can't count that my wife gets me upset over something, and to get myself over such thought, I simply open my casino account if I have some money in there, and start playing games like plinko, keno and so on, and in a matter of minutes, I absolutely forget the issue I just had with my wife some moments ago.

I perfectly understand that people are different and for some people, gambling when they are angry can be really dangerous, but this is not it for some one like myself, if I am not angry due to a gambling outcome (of which I hardly get angry over outcomes in my gambling activities), then it's completely and absolutely safe for me to gamble when angry because it can serve as a means of relieve 😌

Time limit would be a form of discipline and I agree in general with the idea.  Time is a cost possibly even greater then what you spend, also a limit of some kind focuses and likely improves your play. 
  Worst thing to do is throw endless amounts at gambling be it money or time, this will not improve your chances imo.  Never think you can just put it off for another day, the delay should improve chances more then simply repetition on a single session and if nothing else you can process and so possibly avoid any mistakes made.

[SmartGold01]

Anyone who is taking gambling as a place for money making is actually doing a very wrong mistake because gambling is never a place to put hope that specific amount gonna come out from it rather than just being losing all time. The main thing people should do is just to take gambling as place for entertainment and then reduces more time from gambling, when the reduce their time the less they feels it is a money degenerate place for them.

Yes of course when gambling we need to have a specific time frame to minimize the rate of loses. In this process don't be pressured to take unnecessary decitions or action that will affect you later. And meanwhile you must not be gambling with the interval of 1 hour, you can just make it 30 minutes to be on a safer side, you know how Gambling is. 1 hour every day is enough to make someone become an addict if done regularly or often and on.

op youre preaching to the choir here but lets be real most gamblers talk a big game about limits then blow through them like a noob chasing losses

time limits sound good on paper but if youre rekt on your bankroll in 10 minutes whats the point stick to money limits first thats the real discipline

ive seen too many get addicted thinking one more hour will fix it lol newsflash the house always wins long term

@Queen uloma whats your actual limit do you walk after 60 minutes every time or does a hot streak keep you glued
