Money and Time management ?

[Fortuna]

Hello fellow members ! I have a few short questions for all of you:

1. – How much of your monthly income you will allocate for gambling (online/offline) usually ?

2. – How much time (hours per day/month) do you usually spend playing on casino games ?

3. – Changes to the above variables applies when some sort of +EV promos or big wins occurs ?

(specially in this season when Xmas time/New Year is near the corner) I am thinking that some people will spend more time with their family, their kids.. etc But some other people may be seeing these events like just some more free time to play..

OK, to drop a line, I will take me as a first example: I live in Romania (country may be very relevant because of the national minimum wage) and I never allocate to casinos more than 15% of my income regardless of the great offers. In money terms, I usually allocate 50$ for online casinos, and I do not play in Brick and Mortar casinos. Due to this fact I am a low roller and I am looking forward to find reputable casinos which do accept as low as at least 10$ minimum deposit.

Cheers and Happy Hollidays to everyone !

1. I wouldn't recommend to deposit over 50% of your net income (after paying rent, food, ...).
My own income in gambling is 10 times bigger than my work income. But ALWAYS lose it all somehow.
Just don't ever go in minus! Gambling can waste a lot of time - and money too, unless your professional.
Anything below 50% of your net income doesn't effect on your life... only your feelings.

2. I spent max 1 hour playing, and min 2 hours researching per day. Sometimes 12 hours. Way too much.

3. Yes big changes in bets when Big winning is made.

... and no changes over the year.

I would have to say that your posts are very interesting to say the least.

For me:

1) Varies hugely - on payday all bills get paid, money in savings, etc etc and whatever is left over once all other expenses are done is "disposable" for things like movies, games, online or B&M casino. So some months I may have a large surplus - some months a small surplus and then I may choose to play online or not! So for me depends on expenses for that month and what else I feel like doing, so no set budget.

2) When I play probably about 4 hour sessions (Enough time to sip through a six pack of beer) and might do that twice a week on average (Again depending on the above)

3) Sometimes but only if the promo is worth it - not into grinding much! If I have a big win am more likely to take a chunk to a B&M casino and have a nice dinner, drink flash booze - get plastered and lose! Hahahaha

1. Zero. My gambling has been entirely self-funding since 2001.

2. No where near enough! Up until a couple of years ago I would have said I was averaging at least an hour every single day - often a LOT more than that. But for the last year or so, since we had our second child, my play-time has dropped dramatically to only a couple of hours per week. One of my New Years Resolutions is to try to play a lot more next year.

3. Yes. Not +EV promos - there are very few of those these days - but decent promos with sensible WR terms. e.g. No more than (D+B)x20 max, and cashable, not phantom.

Derail: I always thought is better to have two children instead of only one. You have to be a happy father, God bless !
