tantalos is on a distinguished road
On average, 1.5 hour during the afternoon and 2.5 hrs before I go to bed. That's 4 hrs daily - From Monday to Friday , that is.

During the weekend, I spend about 6-7 hrs/day on gambling or surfing for that purpose.

So I guess I don't spend more than 35hrs/week.

I am in the 30-40hr/wk range with the vast majority of it being poker time with very little casino time.

I also spend alot of time on casinomeister. Probably 5-6hrs per week.

Uh-oh, I'm beginning to worry here. Looks like most are coming in under 20 hours. I am definitely pushing the limits of the 30-40 hour range. I'm beginning to wonder if I've got a problem. Come on hardcore gamblers, help me out.

I was over 30+ hours a week Jan-March. But then my laptop crapped out a and I didn't want any casinos on my desktop, so I got busy on some other stuff I had been putting off.

I really got a lot of things done during the break, which is good.

Now the laptop's fixed, but I am going to Las Vegas next week so I am saving up my gambling energy.

I put down 10 hours a week or less. I used to play a lot more than that, but not now. I might play for an hour here or there on occasion, but about once every two to three weeks, I will sit down and play for maybe six to eight hours. Depends on how long my money lasts. However, like alot of other people have said, I spend alot of time online doing various things related to gambling. Running contests, emailing (bugging Simmo about stuff, lol), I've been doing some writing.....not to mention how much time I spend here. Way too much, lol. I guess all you guys are more addictive than gambling, he he he.

I, like no doubt many on this forum, am a bit of an obsessive person.

When I first started gambling at internet casinos I spent huge amounts of time playing. Played nearly through the night on many occasions. This was never about the gambling buzz for me however. I don't see the point of gambling unless you are the casino or bookmaker, it was only about winning money!

Then I got bored!

It then became almost painful to play ( I am sure most obsessive people recognise this trait. How many normal people would get a feeling of dread just because a casino had offered them a £1500 match bonus!) and it was only the money that kept me coming back.

I decided to accept the increase in my variance and increased the size of my bets to cut the playing time.

Of course this caused the casinos to offer me more bonus money. Catch 22!!

I reacted by increasing my bets even more.

I just checked my 'Good run on Crypto' thread and, ignoring my wind down Millionaires Club and Solitare sessions, I bet millions in less than 6 months winning over £100,000 with a total playing time of less than 9 hours!

Obviously this is not the only casino I play at but it is the one I spend the most time at and my pattern of play is similar at the other casinos.

So my actual casino playing time over a 6 month period is considerably less than 24 hours!

Mitch

Re

Does this include practice play too? Lol

When I get bored, I will play the practive play mode if Im broke.

Real play I would say I average 10 hours a week. Though when I have
built up a large bankroll Ive been known to play all night.

Double that with practice play.
