Re: Does time actually affects you more than the money you uses to gamble?

The time spent on gambling does not mean they are irresponsible for anyone who has that time to spend and doesn't have any other important place to be. I don't see it as an act of irresponsible gambling. Unless when the gambler sacrifices where else they are supposed to be just to spend so much time in gambling then I can consider them irresponsible, and how much time you spend in the casino doesn't really mean you are spending more there is high chance for that, but it's not always same way.
Okay, I get your point, but I have something else that can change your view. You know casinos, or let's say gambling, is designed to get people addicted so that they can keep playing for a long time, and the casino gets money from their losses. I don't agree with this. Gambling is not designed to get people addicted, it's designed to keep you entertained because that's the value you are paying to enjoy, but we allow everything to play with our heads by so doing, harbouring greed and the mindset of dissatisfaction in us. The system don't necessarily push us into getting addicted.

So, if you are spending more time at the casino, it can change your brain, you might start thinking about it and spend more money than you had planned to spend. The more you engage, the more you will become addicted, and if you are addicted, then soon you will be the irresponsible one. Today, you may just be spending your free time, but in the upcoming days, you will be counted among those who become addicted.
You might be right, but I have come to understand that the reaction and experience is not something that should be generalised. People can still spend the whole day at the casino as long as they don't have anywhere else to spend it and don't get addicted. They could even be more self-controlled than those who spend only a moderate time in the casino. The minimum wager off your budget can extend how long you spend at the casino without necessarily spending too much off your budget.
