Is Doing Side Activities While Gambling, is it good or not?

[impulse709]

Personally, I don’t do other activities when I gambling, I just focus on gambling because I don’t want to mess up my decisions. Also, if I follow them and start smoking for example, wouldn’t it be better to use the money for gambling instead of buying other things?

I think it depends on people's habits. Like some people drink coffee, some smoke cigarettes and some people play while talking to friends, Then it becomes more like a chat, so it is not unusual for them to do several things at once, However personally I think it is better to be focused when gambling. Because sometimes even a small decision becomes important here, So if someone wants to play seriously it is better to focus only on the game and there is no need to start a new habit just by watching others especially if it is something like smoking.

I am perfectly aware of your view, LastKiss. I also think that it is important to remain focused when playing games as having a slight decision can also have a great influence. Multitasking such as drinking, smoking, or chatting can also be dangerous as the attention is divided into two parts and such a person can make a mistake. The fact that gambling money on other habits may also decrease the amount of money to play wiser is correct. With that said, there are individuals that like to mix socializing or other minor habits with gambling, and it is effective with them. Nevertheless, when the aim is to play seriously and achieve regular outcomes, it is certainly more rational to focus on the game.

The worst of it is smoking, drinking alcohol or taking drug abuse while gambling are the worse distractions you could ever get from gambling and unless you are tired of your money, which I will still encourage you to do charity work rather than spending it unnecessarily on gambling without benefiting from it nor the poor people around you. It will be a successful and solid decision to instead of gambling without concentrating or without operating on your full mental capacity is dangerous. It is like you are planning to fail your games.

Multitasking and gambling with other things that are not so important isn’t a bad idea such as gambling when press your mobile device or gambling while taking some snack may not require much of your attention from the other side but more from the gambling, but something as huge as drinking of alcohol and smoking is too risky to do while gambling.

It depends on each person's habits. In my opinion, people who are addicted to smoking will do some of their activities while smoking, and honestly, I think there are some activities that are more relaxing when accompanied by smoking because I am a smoker myself, so I feel it myself. However, I don't gamble or drink alcohol because I don't want my mind to be clouded by alcohol, which can indeed make me lose consciousness. But when it comes to smoking, some figures and doctors say that cigarettes can indeed make us more relaxed.

If you already have an addiction, unfortunately getting into another addiction is much easier because you are psychologically used to being addicted to something. So there is no particular advice to give, you have to resist and fight against yourself to prevent it from happening.

Addictions create actions that make the working day or simply life easier.
As you say it's essential to know when to stop. Gambling is fine, but responsibly; smoking is fine, but not too much.
Gambling and betting can also be relaxing and calming but you must always set yourself a limit and not exceed it. If the limit is exceeded, it is a good idea to seek help.

You are absolutely right, that's the reason why a lot of gambling addicts find it very easy to get addicted to alcohol and drugs, most gamblers abuse these substances due to how frustrated they are with gambling, it becomes a dependency and coping mechanism to deal with losses. Only thing that can break addiction is self discipline.

Whatever you do while gambling won't significantly help or change your results. Concentration is certainly important. But we need to understand that focusing on the gameplay has its limits. Furthermore, we need to understand what stage of the game we're talking about. If we're talking about the analytical stage, when we're figuring out both teams' chances of winning, we want to be as focused as possible. Once the crucial decision has been made, you can do whatever you want: smoke a cigarette or drink a soda, for example.

I think that it is essential to have an flawless physical and mental condition if you decide to play, especially for the first time, because you could run into a problem of sudden addiction, so much so that it is pleasant to play, so i would say that there are some contraindications to playing when you are not lucid.

[Makus]

Well, it depends on the activities that you are doing, there is nothing wrong in taking a little alcohol or drinking coffee while gambling but it is important that you take them moderately so it doesn't affect you most especially alcohol, too much of it can make you gamble irresponsibly. Side activities you shouldn't be doing while gambling are working, physical exercises, and other things that takes your focus. Like I said, it all depends on the activity that you do, that's what makes it either good or bad. gambling shouldn't be done simultaneously with things that are serious.

True, many gamblers vent their frustration on things that can actually make the situation worse and threaten their health, such as alcohol, which of course carries the risk of addiction over time. To be honest, I also have several gambler friends who are like that. because of the stress from their losses, they immediately buy a bottle of wine to distract themselves from their frustration. The worst case is one of my friends who drank alcohol out of frustration after losing, then rode his motorcycle and ended up crashing into a road barrier. Simply put, it's like falling and getting hit by a falling object, haha. That's why it's better for you not to gamble if you can't handle the consequences.

So far smoking nor drinking won't influence them to make wrong decisions, well it's their choice anyways. Although gambling is very risky and would require a gambler to be in a clear state of mind so a not to make silly errors like reckless betting or so. However if gamblers can keep a balance with carrying out other activities and gambling and it doesn't affect them negatively, they're good to go.

If we drink alcohol and lose control, then it would have an effect, but as long as it's social drinking and just to pass the time , it can be done without problems. But that depends on how the player feels. If the player feels comfortable , who needs us to tell them not to do it? Besides, if they're coming off a hard day's work and experiencing unique stress, the casino is our salvation from that stress, but we shouldn't let the casino itself become a source of stress, because otherwise we're not accomplishing anything.

[OgNasty]

Personally, if I had side activities to be doing, I probably wouldn’t need the be entertained with gambling, but maybe if it were a task with a lot of downtime it would be nice to have a distraction to help pass the time. Mostly it depends on the person and their level of attention.

So I observe most of my friends doing other activities while gambling, some of them smoking and some of them drink coffee or soda. Is it common for gamblers to do other activities while gambling? Does it help them to focus or not? I would like to hear other opinions too.

if you ask me i will say yes, it will definitely help them to focus because they are used to it. each an everyone is used to what they regularly do in one way or other, and what they do comfortably without complain may result to problem to you if you give it a try. just like they said that one man's meat is another man's poison. its just like some people who take sleeping pills before they can sleep, but to a person who is not used to it may have sleepless night if he deer's to take it. so in my own opinion i will say that it helps them to focus since they are used to it.

Gambling games is more fun when you plays at your leisures and you know the sensations is always classic when you have to spice the energy with what else vibing like one of those mentioned either smokes, drinks or have some chops to while away the good gambling times.

Some like it around with friends maybe in the casino but I will always prefer taking the tips all by myself.
That is such a quality moment of gambling for those who would never deviate from their responsible gambling respectively.
It is also some sense of scenarios were others can not bear the combination else it messes them up before realizing it.

Totally agreed with you, in addition to this, people should also understand that gambling is a game and doing it right helps to enjoy gambling as it is designed to be a game of entertainment and fun, which is totally based on luck and chance, that is why the earlier people understand the point of gambling, the better for them. Because it will be bad if people treat gambling in the wrong way, that is to say most people are into gambling with the idea that they can get rich through it, which is not why it is designed for and having that mindset leads one into pitfalls that will ruin their lives.

The realisation of the very essence of the games based on pure probability contributes significantly to the ability to stay sane when playing with the virtual environment. We cannot deny the fact that such approach is the non-right way to material gain and financial rationale. We can also have fun during our leisure time without being overwhelmed with impractical dreams which are very likely to go away when our entertainment is kept at a moderate level. This is done as a precautionary measure to be sure that we are in full control of our lives and we are not needlessly destroying it.

From my personal thoughts I don't think that having a drink by your side while gambling is a form of another activity altogether. I mean it's just a drink you're sipping carefully having your games on deck, how's that an activity? I don't know. I do that but not a lot, normal with a beer and I don't take much as I can have a bottle with me for as long as  gambling and wouldn't even finish it all till I am about to  call the game a wrap. It doesn't  give the impression to me as a way to focus but just a normal beer at hand for the day's game.

[danadc]

Most gamblers are unable to find contentment particularly when they have several wins or losses. As long as a person continues playing thinking that it will be one more win, it is easy to become chased by losses and lose the control. This is the reason discipline is relevant in gambling. The ability to halt, take home the wins and spend it outside the casino is a skill that many players are yet to master. It should be success on its own to win something and walk away. When the players establish limits and adhere to them, they can make a good session not to become a frustrating loss and continue gambling as a form of entertainment and not as a problem.

You're absolutely right, Sometimes we don't even know what we're getting ourselves into, and we fill our minds with nonsense, which leads us to make terrible mistakes That's why we should always remember that when we're playing, we have to consider what we can lose and not try to recover what's already lost , but rather keep playing and enjoying every moment That's what it's all about, I think.

That depends on the side activity and how much focus you need to put into it. It wouldn't hurt to have a drink or snacks on the side when it's a common activity for most people, regardless of what you're currently doing. For the most part, i'd also prefer one task at a time because it's easy to lose focus when you have to pay attention to multiple things. I've had a bad experience with multitasking before, and it became a costly lesson to wrap up whatever else I had to do before starting my session.

[michellee]

I do that in my gambling activities and also in office and I can still focus with my working and finish my work.

But if you working and watching television, that will distract your focus to the television. You will lose controls and if you gamble, you may not thinks about your rules because your focus is change.

If you asks about wouldn't it be better to use the money for gambling instead of buying other things, well I will say it be better to buy food for your family. Buying something to your family will gives them smile and hug you.

I think that gambling is not a good idea to do any activity or habit that can completely destroy our attention. Drinking water or coffee while gambling will not reason any problem in the gambler's attention. However, I think that there are many gamblers who drinking alcohol while gambling, as a result of which it is not possible for the gambler to remain in a normal state, as a result, the risk of losing money increases manifold and it is very harmful to health. It is better to stay away from that bad habit.

Everyone has different preferences and how they enjoy gambling, some enjoy gambling with drinks, some with snacks and others just need to be focused. It could actually be that drinking helps to make them react less impulsively to losses than normal and a way to distract the the mind, so i wouldn't entirely judge anyone for its their choice.
