I dont gamble every day, I place about 3 or 4 bets a week, usually parlays on football. Total time it takes me to do this, maybe 2 hours a week. I know what I want to gamble on, doesnt usually take me long.
I am not an addict playing online gambling, but every time I get more funds, I make sure to play online gambling for a while, but not in the form of cards or dice, but playing online Crytpo gambling, and it does not take long like hours.
Time is everything in today's world and ensure that you enjoy your time and also it is worth spending those time. If for instance you enjoy then it is good but if you play for money and keep losing then it is waste of time.
As much as you enjoy what you are doing, over time, overdoing it can be very bad actually. You need to at least be able to limit yourself most especially when it comes to gambling a whole lot of the time because the chances of getting addicted pretty fast if you do not, will always be there.
Like you said, time is everything in this world and if you waste your time on things that are not that productive, when you could be using that time to do things that would at least benefit you in the long run, a time will come in your life when you will have yourself to blame for it and retracing when you have gotten to certain age already can be bad.
