How Gambling Changes Your Relationship With Time ?

[GeorgeJohn]

I think it's more about gambling addiction, because for people who gamble responsibly, gambling doesn't cause such serious problems in their lives - they continue living as usual and don't feel that anything has changed. That's all because they're able to set limits and ensure that gambling doesn't affect them. It's the people who can't set limits who often get trapped in addiction, because they leave the door wide open for gambling to influence their lives. So I think we shouldn't blame gambling itself, but rather the person.

Actually you're right, because if a gambler set a limit and know it budget, nothing will make them to be addicted, someone who is addicted in gambling doesn't have the time to set for gambling limit, the things that's making us to lose much in gambling is because of lack of strategies in gambling...if you allow gambling it will ruin someone's life, but if you gamble with understand and precaution you will not be addicted and it will not affect your life style or your house hold....

When you're having fun, time goes by fast. Incidentally, in the case of gambling this also rings true for how fast your wallet becomes empty. So for me, I try to stretch things out by having some self discipline and only betting minimal amounts in order to stretch out the fun/rush or gambling. Although this works if you are gambling in a casino and not on some sports/other events.

I think gambling is not suppose to change one the way they look at things and if their is a change it means one is addicted to gambling. Gamblers who gamble responsibly sees everything about gambling as the same. When gambling seems to look special in one's eyes and the urge of gambling is something that cant be controlled it is very important.  But it so unfortunate that not all gamblers notice and to make amendments but them they are doing the right thing.

Before gambling. I could work hard for months to buy something. But after gambling even waiting one week felt too long.

And honestly i learned a lot from his one sentence.

I think one of the hidden dangers of gambling is that it changes how a person feels about time and progress.

This happens to a lot of persons on the side. If you’ve being into gambling for a long time, it probably would have happened to you too. It’s what happens when you’ve put in way too much money into gambling and end up loosing a lot of that money. You just now, you need to redefine how you gamble or approach gambling. It’s never easy but, if you intend to get anything out of yourself, you just have to because, a lot of your paychecks is going to end up on your gambling bankroll at the end of the day. It’s just that real and you would be dissatisfied at what you are getting.

I don’t know about others but I feel like there are people that have a higher propensity to become addicted to some activities compared to others. There are people who can easily get addicted to gambling compared to gaming and so on. That’s by the way, once you notice the onset of being unable to control yourself when gambling or a constant rumination about gambling, that’s the point when you need to either take a break, speak with someone about it or do both. Once you proceed beyond this point without any intervention your life will be changed by gambling in a negative way.

Well, except for those how have lost absolute control of their self in gambling, we all can actually control how long we want to stay on a casino gambling, it is true that games like slot games and some casino games can really make us lose money fast that in not time, one would end up wit an empty wallet, but this is all about choice as well.
When ever we know that the money we have won't be enough to keep us gambling for as long as we want on slot or casino game, then better to switch over to sports betting where it is possible to preserve money more.

But again, like I always would say, it's always best to ensure that our reason for gambling is mostly to have fun rather than to chase after money, this make our gambling experience more fun and exciting than chasing after money that will leave one unsatisfied at the end of the game especially when the goal to make money was not achieved.

Time distortion through gambling becomes normal when you start to do it like it's a normal thing. And I think gamblers who experiences that need to reflect on themselves and think of it if it's still worth it.

If it affects other important activities in our lives like our jobs, that's becoming dangerous and there's a need to slow done.

When the waiting time is becoming long and our patience is gone, I think those are a clear signs that you have to step away from gambling temporary and regain that attitude of yours that you've been patient all along.

[Nwada001]

Gambling doesn't just affect anyone financially it can also affect their emotions and how they relate with people around them so many individuals don't know how much their mood changes after winning or losing a bet and that emotional pressure can easily reflect one's relationship discipline and self control truly matters if anyone choose to gamble because family and peace of mind should never be suffer all because of gambling.

How much our moods change when we lose or win in a game sometimes can still be determined, especially when we lose. If you are overconfident about a particular game and your hope of winning that game is high, losing in such a situation will trouble your mind in a very hard way; this should already be expected based on the attachment already given to the game. If one less expects winning, there won't be much disappointment to hit it differently.

As I find the value of money, I find it hard now to spend a lot of money in gambling, especially now that a lot of family members are relying on me. So I guess, it declined quite a lot. Of course, when you are single, you have less worries in terms of financial aspect but as you grow old, you need to think of your retirement. And I believe, this is true for a lot of people.

Some people are too serious about gambling, they do take gambling to another level and it will certainly affect them in different phrase of their lives, and it also make them to take risks that they won't be able to handle the result. They should choose in gambling responsibly as to maintain their mental and their relationships too. So, if they planned to gamble otherwise, they should better not as it won't longer be a fun game.

I want you to know that there's nobody that lose in gambling that the mood will not change everybody that is into gambling is expecting to make a profit out from the gambling but what he expected failed it will be disappointed, so that is why I don't bother to think of gambling again whenever I lose because I know that losing in gambling is something that I cannot depart from it has been the origin of rambling but someone must lose or you win in gambling this are the two factors that you must observe in gambling so we need to gamble with what we can afford to lose so that our mood will not be changing whenever we lose in gambling

[Orpichukwu]

The mindset is like an house that is in charge of our thoughts. Your perspective about something is what our mindset is conveying and if a gambler does not know how gamble in a way that will be helpful to them, they may end up losing money which should have been used for something else. Once we have the mindset of not being greedy everytime we gamble, this will reduce how often we lose money.

And our greed has been a major and easy way for gamblers to be losing money over and over again without even realising how much they are losing. One thing I always try to remind myself and others is how important self-control, which comes with being less greedy, can help us as gamblers; if we want to enjoy the game without losing too much, we must be prepared to work on it. control level.

That’s right. The easiest way for people to allow losses hit them mentally would be to feel too confident about their bets, this is because, a lot of people unknowingly set unrealistic expectations when they gamble, which of course is one of the biggest mistakes most gambler make. Whenever things now goes the unexpected turn, they start feeling depressed with the result, at this point, confident instantly turns into disappointment. This is a lesson every gambler need to know.

If one less expects winning, there won't be much disappointment to hit it differently.

This is the reality, people who gamble with the sole aim of winning often end up disappointed, for good reason, gambling is inherently unpredictable and high expectations can lead to that disappointment. Therefore, it is advisable not to have excessive expectations, always use money within your set budget and prepare yourself to face losses, because losses are inevitable, while wins are a bonus. Adopt this mindset so that your level of disappointment doesn’t become too high, which could lead to excessive stress.

These are gamblers that cannot control themselves and gamble with what they can afford to lose, not knowing when to stop and carried away by emotions .

As a gambler your source of income matters a lot, if you don't protect your job and go to work, how would you get money to gamble.

To avoid using up all your time for gambling, you need to set a time limit and bankroll to avoid over timing

[rachael9385]

Once gambling starts affecting your mind like this it becomes difficult to adjust to even the same things that you were giving you income simply because you have gotten used to making quick profits making your sources of income. It even gets worse than did this for some people because they get used to winning from gambling.

Hello Reader. I hope Everything will be fine at your end.
~snip~

What do u all think ? Psychology is my fav topic . Everyone has its own opinion regarding gambling and psychology and i also love to read your replies as well. Because in the end my main focus is to learn from experienced peoples here. And i respect your opinions as well.

Thanks For Reading.

I feel that, indeed I once thought there was a difference in time to get money by gambling and working where indeed by working we need a fairly long time to get money while by gambling we can win quickly even with just a few minutes but it needs to be underlined that it will only happen when we are really lucky.

I've gotten a pretty big win from the cashback I got and with only one spin I managed to get it clearly happened because luck was on my side.

But it's good that we have to get rid of that mindset because it's wrong even though it's true like that but it doesn't mean we have to believe more in gambling.

Whenever gambling gets dangerous for a player, slowing down gets out of the way, the motion moves faster than the player would ever think of, they do know things are getting out of hand but can't help it, this is why talking to them is a lucky thing, like Op's brother, who opened up about how gaming makes them feel, it's more of a relieve, and soon, he start being in control, considering what Op does after the conversation to save his buddy.

First of all, people do not get attracted to gambling at the beginning of gambling, gamblers get attracted to gambling gradually, after losing money, their brain only thinks about getting money and they cannot think about anything else, only their focus is on winning the gambling game. But it is possible to win gambling based on luck research and strategy, the more experience you have, the more you will be able to win gambling and if your luck is good, you will definitely be able to win gambling.
But those whose mind and mentality is only afraid of getting money are the ones who mainly face gambling addiction and lose money. Therefore, those who enter gambling for fun can basically survive for a long time, and it is possible to stay away from the symptoms of addiction.

"Why should I go to work?" That's the thought I had one day after winning a large sum of money at a casino. I was overwhelmed with euphoria. It knew no bounds. At the time, it was the equivalent of six months' income from my full-time job. How deluded was I? I thought I could earn money this way forever. It was both a mistake and incredibly naive. How could I have come to such a conclusion? I still don't understand. After a while, reality put everything in its place.
