How Gambling Changes Your Relationship With Time ?

[Cgrexp]

Actually, that's why they say that when a person comes to a casino for the first time, it's better for him to lose, because most likely he will just say: "Well, okay, I'm a loser" and leave this place (but a small percentage of people will take it upon themselves to win back this money faster), but as a rule, it's better for the players not winning for the first time, because they see the real money that came to them in just a few seconds, and yet they didn't do anything. But, for example, if we consider slots, we have made a successful combination, although even a monkey can sit and press this one button for this, which is why slots are dangerous, because it greatly devalues the ways of getting money and the gambler no longer wants to work.

When a person enters the game of gambling and wins, this victory gives rise to a confidence within him. And because of getting money quickly with very little effort, it affects his mentality and he expects more. Many people think it is very easy due to overconfidence and think that they are very skilled, but it is never possible to win consistently. So if someone wins a few times and becomes overconfident and takes bigger risks, it can become an addiction. However, not everyone becomes addicted the first time they win. Addiction comes from another basis of habits and behavior. Therefore  awareness and self-control are necessary to protect themselves from addiction  Many people expect to win more even though they lose repeatedly  but many conscious people can win and control themselves. So it is not only important to win, it is important to control themselves.

Gambling is actually closely related to psychology. I believe that's absolutely crucial. Gambling without direction and proper psychology will only lead to uncontrolled gambling, ultimately leading to negative consequences in our lives. Psychology, on the other hand, is how we reduce the frequency of gambling if it starts to feel excessive and maintain a balance between both. Besides psychology, time management is also crucial in gambling. Don't waste your important time gambling. You must truly know when to stop gambling and when to stop.

True, without right mindset and direction, people will stop controlling themselves over being addicted to gambling, they will just gamble and bet with money they can't afford to lose and this makes them to have a behaviour that won't favour them or help them to involve in responsible gambling. But, if they are able to control their minds and the time they spent on it, gambling won't stop controlling them as they will be in charge of it.

Once he gets lucky to win his salary in just one day, his mind will indeed change towards how hard he has been working just to end up earning what he just realized from gambling in just a few times he spent there, but that pattern will also change if he suddenly loses all his 30 days of hard work in gambling at a straight.

One thing I learned about gambling is if we are not ready to educate ourselves on a healthy gambling way, gambling will help us set the record straight.

How our startup experiences with gambling was, does has some huge influence in shaping our mentality about gambling and that's just the raw truth. Sometimes, first timer win could actually look like a bad influence because it could make the gambler to be with the mindset that gambling wins are as easy as it seemed for him in the first time of trying it and just winning. But on a loss streaks, our brain  rewires back to being cautious and not take gambling as an easy means of making income.

If you just get started with gambling and you are lucky to win big, which makes you see gambling as an easy way to make money, such a feeling is allowed, but if, after some time, you continue gambling and the winning is no longer coming as expected, is it not wise for you to reshape your mind and readjust how you used to see gambling as a fast means of making money to something that only luck can determine when you win?

Lots of people are always lucky when they win their first bet, that’s why lots of people do end up finding it difficult to stop gambling when they start. When they win their first bet, and they start losing their subsequent bets, they won’t give up, they will want to keep on gambling because they believe if they don’t stop, they still going to win back what they have lost from gambling.

Addicted gamblers are always confident that they going to win back all what they have lost, they believe they going to hit a jackpot if they don’t stop gambling. If you are a gambler, and you notice that you losing so much from gambling, it’s just better you stop gambling at that moment, just take a rest, re-strategize your self and come back another time, don’t be desperate to make money whenever you are gambling because that’s a trap for you.

[sunsilk]

That is a why to forget about gambling when it's consuming so much time, and that's to do other things other than gambling.

Because if you're going to take time in doing other things to forget gambling, use the time in rebuilding the relationships that have been affected by gambling badly.

It's not easy from the start but you have to do what you have to do.

Use your own "COMMON SENSE"

This would be the best thing to do not only on handling up your time but also with your actions. It would be that too impossible that you cant be able to think up that well whether you are still on the right track or not. When dealing up with gambling then it should really be just that for the sake of fun and entertainment on a specific period of time without compromising other important things in life specially if you are a busy person and does have that responsibilities and having tons of jobs or side hustles then doing or prioritizing gambling is really just that non productive and could compromise instead into those important things on which its not worth of. This is really just that for your vacant time and dont go beyond your limits and set out those duration on which you would really be that stopping completely.

That is a must to be used when we gamble. If it's no longer giving the time to our family and it's being consumed in gambling.

Then, we have to apply that common sense in our selves if it's worth it and it's still a normal thing.

We can figure things out if they're still normal or not. Do not forget what we are prioritizing because if we gamble for fun, it shouldn't affect our relationship with others especially our family.

Those are not some easy kind of play for the gambler who find it hard to prioritize over other significant things like a Job. Many gamblers whose jobs were jeopardized gambled in work places, and didn't care about what happened for risking losing their job, when caught for gambling during work hours. The real thing is that a gambler in trouble can't find or think of a way to use their common sense.

But, if they are able to control their minds and the time they spent on it, gambling won't stop controlling them as they will be in charge of it.

If you can't control your time, it will be hard to control what happens within the unlimited time you have to spend gambling, and if you can't control your budget, it's also the same thing. If one can control their time, it will help them control their emotions, as I have seen that the more time we spend gambling, the higher the possibility of getting our minds corrupted, and we can start chasing loss, feelings or profit.

[Crypto_Timothy]

For sure his perception about life will change once he has tasted the better thing of this life money has to offer and the fact that he could access this money almost instantly with betting, it will have him chasing high all the time and thats exactly why the normal saving for an item feels strange to him. Without a doubt experiencing the finer things in life will leave you always wanting more and if you dont have constant access to that more than a problem is then developed. It takes a grace and just the will to survive before someone person can notice the pattern and seek help.

Spending too much time in gambling actually trigger decision fatigue. a condition when our brain tired because continuously process probability and tension, our analytical and logic ability will drop drastically. this is the critical point where we start to act impulsive, ignore rationality, and finally fall into chasing loss. the brain is really need time to do reset, so we not continuously trap in the illusion of curious or greed.

The reduction of logical analytical abilities is a reality when the mind is made to exceed what it can handle reasonably in terms of stress. There is no better way to hasten systemic bankruptcy than through losing control in the process of a losing bet, and the result of a train of greedy, unthought out financial moves. Recovery of self awareness is a final defense measure that will put this deadly circle of personal economic ruin to an end.

Recovery of self awareness is a final defense measure that will put this deadly circle of personal economic ruin to an end.

Exactly, self awareness is the last defense to stop us from getting rekt in gambling. But the problem is, when we are emotional because lose, we often not realize if we already start to lose control. That's why, instead of only depend on mind, it is better we sensitive with our own condition. If we start feeling frustrated and just increased bet to get money back, that is actually an alarm if we are losing our control. When signs like that start to feel, better close the screen and step away from any gambling platform.

Gambling is often seen as easy or quick money. Once someone gets a taste of it, it becomes very difficult to pull them away from gambling. Within a fraction of a second, there is a chance to double the money, or sometimes even more. This creates an adrenaline rush in a person’s body and makes them more curious and attracted toward gambling. That is what happened to your cousin. However, he is forgetting that with higher rewards come higher risks. Within seconds, he could also lose all his money and be left with nothing. So, I am not saying to avoid gambling completely, but to gamble responsibly and manage the risks carefully.

One thing that cannot be eliminated is the risk and unfortunately many people, once they’ve tasted victory tend to forget that this is a game with very high stakes, so they focus only on winning and not on the risks involved.

Although we can win quickly in a matter of seconds or minutes we can also lose large sums of money in the same amount of time.

Experiencing wins in gambling can be a double edged sword for us because we may raise our stake every time we bet since we feel lucky on that day. Since gambling is very addictive we tend to forget that there are risks behind it, just like people who smoking who ignore the long term risk for their health. That’s why it is really crucial to stay disciplined no matter what happens to us, whether we win or lose because both situations can change the way we gamble.

[Ishicryptic]

I've always said that gambling is addictive and if you don't control it it'll control you and it's control is very devastating, everybody that gambles should have a strategy that will guide them from being irresponsible gamblers. Casino games can make you to become an impatient person if you're not careful because you win and lose money almost immediately and it makes you to be on edge, if you lose all your money you will feel an urgency to refill your account and continue. Gradually it can affect your character in other things where you want everything to happen very fast and it can lead to wrong decisions. It is better to use amounts that you're comfortable to part with and time your session when you want to gamble.

Absolutely bro. Most people don't even see the first win as what pulls them depper into gambling , once one losses begin coming emotions take over them and they keep on chasing what they have already lost knowing when to adjust is absolutely more important than knowing how to play. Self control truly matters a lot because desperation can make some folks lose everything they all planned.

[Bitcoin.com97]

I know gambling doesn’t destroy someone in a day but it gradually changes your perception, your view towards it , even your mindset shift with time , don’t be surprised that your cousin was opportune to win reasonable amount that may take him 3 to 4months of hardwork to earn that , that only has change his mindset and make him believe if he invest more time and resources, there is more betting has to offer , that is he will begin to lose interest in his jobs and start focusing more on betting, it doesn’t happen one day , little occurrences changes behavior that affect lives unknowingly to many .

That's what we call a trap, beginners luck that you win initially and then you are hook into it. You feel great and you want to have that same kind of feeling of winning. So you go again and play until you lost time and money already.

You don't know what happen to you, you are no longer in control but someone inside of you are telling to gamble all your money. Others survived and snap in time. But there is a huge portion of the population that put that individual into addiction.

Exactly, our approach at first sight determined how the future will turn out to be, though some people start gambling with a clear intention but, as time goes on they built the habit that this game is for income purpose and this gradually becomes their cloud their judgement and makes them to think that there is always a short cut for them to earn more from gambling, either to chase after their losses or they increase their bets and with this kind of mindset actually affect their lives and that of their relatives.

It mostly happens with people that lacks some sustainable income sources that can be relied on and which also does keeps them busy more often. Check out people who takes gambling as a means of making income, they're people without good sources of income, some of them changed from casually gambling to real time constant gamblers because there's no other meaningful financial paying activities that should be taking much of their time. Very a few persons in that situation goes back to other income source hunting than just completely depending on gambling as the only way forward.

Basically saying it is always much easier than doing it, when someone is very addicted then gambling will become their main priority compared to other things, even the job that provides them with the only income to live can be neglected because of gambling, this is one of the dangers of gambling when someone is addicted, so far I have never heard of someone being fired from their job for gambling during work hours but I am sure that it must have happened because when a gambler is addicted then they will force the situation no matter what the situation and conditions.

Gambling has affected many people because of the way they approach it. Some people take gambling as a means of survival or believe it is a way to become rich. No matter how they see it, gambling can definitely have negative effects. When a gambler’s mind is already focused on the amount of money they want to make within a short period, they hardly think about the negative impact of gambling. Even when they lose, they still keep hoping they will win and try to recover the money they have already lost.So, your cousin mindset may be the main reason he is losing focus on his real job, where he gets a stable source of income. His mind may have been built around the belief that gambling is the only way to become rich within a short time. But the point is, if he loses his job, where will he get money to continue gambling in hopes of making more gains?Your cousin’s situation is getting worse, and he really needs to change. If not, it may eventually lead to him losing everything.

[AmaGold70]

There are people who engage in gambling because they want to get rich quick, they are impatient to wait for one week, one month or there about to receive salary. Gambling is not an easy way of making money. Building real wealth takes time, if you are opportune to gain a good job, and the money is not coming in huge form, or regularly, but ensure to have an alternative source of income that will be more secured instead of gambling, and even if you are going to gamble, let it be a kind of leisure time activity.
When you invest your salary, and even though it is coming slowly, with time you investing will grow big, and it is actually better that way, than to depend on gambling, and feel it will make you rich so quickly.
