Do you gamble regularly?

[MVL~$]

Gambling is legally prohibited in our country. Besides, it is prohibited in our religion. Personally I don't gamble. But I know people who gamble regularly. I have seen a lot of people affected by it and at the end of the day many face major family problems. There were some people in our area who used to gamble regularly by betting on IPL matches. It was seen that many benefited and many were harmed. But at the end of the day I will say that I don't gamble myself.

If gambling is prohibited in a country or a region, people still gamble secretly. But what I want to know is that as you said, "your country forbid gambling" and the same time your know people that gamble regularly, so I am some how confused of that statement because if people are gambling regularly then there is an open casino centers where people normally go and gamble. And gambling make more harms than benefits. Many people have been a victim of gambling harm and many have been render homeless and property were used for gambling. Those who gamble daily and regularly are those who are into the addiction of gambling. Though most of them are struggling to come out but because of the addiction they can't.

It's interesting to know these kinds of things, because the truth is in my case the game was banned because the government did it 20 years ago, now things are different now, but that was only because of the government, and it wasn't for reasons of relegation, I know that religious reasons because they are causes of force majeure and that is something that we must respect, in this sense we always have to consider that when we are looking for things to do to entertain ourselves, sometimes it is not good to go against the rules because things are very strong when it comes to punishments.

When casino games were prohibited, I still bet and played in the ones that were played out there without permission from the government or anything, but I'm somewhat irreverent, in the case of countries that are pro-religion it's something else, and well It's a shame that you haven't played, it's not that it's a bad thing, it's actually casino games for fun, but everything is under control, especially control of the money.

There are many people who gamble three to four days a week and spend the next time they have on other activities and abstinence. Many gamble every day of the week and those players will most likely lose money. There are also some players who bet only twice a week and successfully win.
When I used to gamble I used to play every day of the week for a time but I have lost a lot of money here which has stopped me from gambling. Although it is very hard work, I have been gambling for just over a month, I have almost become addicted to gambling, but I slowly control myself from gambling and have to give it up because I have lost more bets than I have won. And I lost more money than I gained in the one month I gambled so I stopped gambling for now.

Do you gamble regularly or every day a week or two or three days a week?
Do you still stick with gambling or have you stopped yourself from it?

I am not going to say how reasonable it is to perform gambling regularly but in my case I participate in gambling two days a week.  If I lose a bet I don't bet more than two days a week.  And if we win then there is no chance again.  But one thing is very important that I never gamble again and again to recover lost funds.  I know enough techniques to control myself and I always control my cravings.

My gambling depends mainly on my financial situation. If I have money then I am quite regular in gambling and when money reduce have to wait to manage my money. But I have a monthly limit which I don't exceed. It's not always that I lose bets, I sometimes win. But try to save some money from the winnings. When I lose I use that money again. But although I spend a lot of time gambling, I am not an addicted gambler. Always engage after my professional work. But from my experience I would say that a gambler should not be regular in gambling as it will increase his chances of losing and there is a chance of getting addicted.

This is highly commendable. The ability to set a budget and stick to it is the answer to all gambling-related problems. Gambling is not a problem in itself but individuals get addicted due to frequent participation in the game and the hope of having a big win someday accounts for why people get addicted and create problems for themselves in the long run.

Your gambling activities can be done once or twice or daily every week, it all boils down to how you can discipline yourself and don't get carried away with your emotions. I always have a weekly budget that I set aside, whenever I get paid so that I can use this money to gamble during the week. If I want to gamble daily, I will split this funds into seven parts and use it to gamble daily, but I will be only limited to a number of games and I use to bet with little amount to enjoy more games. However, if I want to gamble thrice in a week, I split it into three parts. What I do is that I also set time limit for my gambling activities so that, I don't gamble more than a given period of time. This enables me to stay away from getting addicted easily, because I only gamble with the amount that I can afford to lose.

Well said! This has always been my argument. It doesn't matter if you gamble regularly what should be taken into cognizance is your income. To me, an irresponsible gambler is not known by how much he gambles but by how much he earns.

I will clarify what I mean by an analogy. A person who earns a monthly income of $1000 and then uses $70 to gamble in a week is not reckless. Even if the person decides to gamble $10 daily he cannot be said to be a reckless gambler.

Now, consider a person who ends $100 and then uses $70 to gamble the person is irresponsible because more than half of his income is used in gambling and it will affect the gambler. But then, both gamblers in the instance given used $70 to gamble but one is considered responsible and the other irresponsible. It is even possible to gamble once a month but end up losing more than a person who gambles every day.

I think this will justify my claim that regular gambling doesn't matter, what matters is the gambler's income and the amount he uses for gambling.

Re: Do you gamble regularly?

TBH, I already forgot when's the last time that I gambled.
I think it was when I was still promoting Stake on Bitcoin because I was using a portion of my weekly signature earnings to gamble at sports bets. When I stopped promoting it, I think I also stopped gambling already.

I don't want to get addicted to gambling. That's the reason why I stopped it already. I just don't want something bad might happen to me whether it's my relationship with my family, or I might get broke because of gambling, or I might get into crimes because of it, etc. Overall, I'm just staying myself away from negative effects of gambling that's why I stopped it already although I believe that I can control it, still I don't want to spend too much time on it.

It is good that you feel that moment when you need to stop, that few more weeks of regular gambling can start raising addiction. A lot of people dont have that feeling. They talk a lot about responsible gambling, setting an amount they can allow to lose, yet still lose and return back.

Speaking about myself, I think I can say that I am kind of a pessimist in life. Sometimes I hesitate to do certain things. Sometimes I spend really a good time planning, taking a decision. Cant say that I am greedy, but sometimes I feel like I am sorry to waste money. That is somehow helped me to build a resistance to gambling addiction. Cant say that I gamble regularly; probably a bit more often that most of posters here. But still gambling does not attract me maniacally. I can always stop and stop spending money on it.

I gamble sometimes but not regularly but maybe one day a week or two days a month. But if I lose a bet then I take a long break and don't bet again later but I don't form a bad habit of betting every day. I don't bet with my daily income but if I win a gambling bet and keep some of the winnings to bet later. I don't gamble from my monthly salary but I spend my salary money to support the entire family. And those who are betting regularly every day are urged not to bet every day. Constant betting should not be done as there is a high chance of losing capital in gambling.

Exactly. For an average guy like me who has an average monthly income I think gambling once a month or two is reasonable as I have some priorities. Life is hard nowadays and I've learned from my past mistakes that is why I put a limit on every bet I placed because I only use extra money on it.

I think we have the same condition.
But apparently this is quite easy to do. Yes, but don't let it interfere with our lives. Sometimes it's just for fun and you do it just for fun, but of course you have the desire to win and get more money.

Well, here is the danger and we have to be able to control ourselves. because when we often try something in gambling and we never get any profit or money, even if only once, it can be a trigger for us to fall deeper into gambling and become addicted. because when we can't control ourselves, we will continue to want to gamble in the hope of getting money continuously. That is why always manage ourself if we are gambling, don't be afraid to stop.

Yeah, you are right, the more often you gamble, the more you lose especially if you gamble with your emotions, i mean, chasing losses will only lead to more losses.

Gambling is not for everybody as this requires a lot of patience and discipline and if you don't have this, please don't gamble.

As to the frequency of gambling, i only gamble on the games that i'm well acquainted off because that way, we have a high chance of winning.

But it will not be possible to maintain a gambling routine especially when I participate in Sportbetting, I bet on my favorite team whenever there is a game which is never possible according to routine.  Moreover, those who take gambling as fun are not active regularly but are active only at certain times of the week or month.  But for those who maintain family with gambling money, they have to be regularly active in gambling.
