I think if you’re gambling when you’re lonely it could be a coping device that might not be very healthy. Nothing wrong with gambling online while you’re alone, but if you’re only doing it out of boredom I think you’ll find that it is an expensive way to deal with being alone. If it is a problem then I’d treat it like an addiction and do your best to replace it with a different way to pass the time.

Does anybody have this experience or this is happening with me. Most of my gambling losses have taken place when I feel lonely.

Through this I would like to remind be careful when you are alone. If your mind wish to gamble, go for it. But don't consider it as a way to pass your time and keep on wagering. The outcome might hurt, because most of the time loneliness is felt when our mind is in a bad mood. Some enjoy being lonely, but the reality used to be different.

It is generally a bad idea to gamble when you feel lonely, tired, depressed or irritated. Gambling should be done as rationally as possible and always with money you can afford to lose, but often the reality is far from the theory.

In my case these things don't happen to me because I am quite rational with gambling but I keep my fingers crossed because you never know what might happen in the future.

Today one such incident have taken place. I've kept my last few weeks signature earning aside to meet some medical needs. Today my mother got hospitalised and I'm her attender. She is supposed to take a minor surgery as her vision isn't clear. She's been taken to the Operation Theatre and I was left alone in the room. If anything required the nursing staff would call me. By thos time my mind didn't think about anything. All of the sudden why don't you gamble? and I started and made 0.009BTC close to 0.01BTC and the greed didn't left me. Finally lost all my month's earning kept aside.

Your loss was a hefty amount of money in our country, and it is clear that you have returned to that nothingness you felt because you are reminding us about your experience, but actually, it is not just loneliness that you would gamble and lose with that kind of emotion, but all of your emotions can surely suffice to this kind of urge in feeling that you want to gamble,

For me, you feel the need of getting money and greedily encourage yourself to still play gambling because you have felt that urge, which is really something many gamblers are feeling, that is why I don't gamble if I feel emotions rushing in, when you lost in a bet you would feel frustrated and feel the need to take it back which the house would exploit then ending it in taking all your earn money with it,

For me, the right thing to do how to gamble was always to keep your emotions in check if you gamble it is OK for you to lose so if you felt frustrated never urge yourself to get back all losses but to have the right decision to stop and call it a day,

A learning in an expensive way. I never thought situation would go in this way. My fate I should've cashed it out earlier, but kept aside to enjoy the small increase in the holding if there is rise in the bitcoin price. I never intend to deposit and loss more, because the emotional outburst is the reason for the entire loss. If not I could've stopped in between. Next time feeling lonely need to move forward looking for other activities.
Atleast you learned so you can avoid having such mistake again in the future. That's why it is also important to gamble without something in mind that bothers you (like problem) because it can affect the way you gamble, just like what happened to you, being out of control to stop already. If you're not in condition then refrain yourself otherwise you'll regret it.

In my case I only gamble when i'm in the mood and usually it is already set right after my work, it's my leisure time. Moreover, I make sure that the money I use to gamble is not meant for important things because it's really a problem if ever.

Using gambling as a way to escape your reality can give you pros and cons in the long term.

If you are lonely, perhaps you could try other recreation activities in which you can enjoy while not spending a hefty amount over it. Because being lonely could really affect your emotions and your urge to spend just to feel secured and satisfied, only to notice you spent more than what you can afford right after playing or betting. If you want to unwind and relax, or just merely have fun because you feel lonely, at least set a specific budget amount of your spare money which you will only spend in gambling. Otherwise, you can get bankrupt if you'' let your emotions control you.

I have my instances where boredom gets to me and I want to do things for mere exploration and to serve as my past time. However, I limit myself in engaging and spending because it might do me more harm than good if I will not moderately do it.

Well, gambling has a psychological side too, and being lonely can make us depressed, and depression with gambling is two things that never should be mixed because we will lose all if we play under that condition.

And being only also gives us a feeling that we can lose all without affecting others, but that doesn't happen if we have a couple or a family, the fact that we have to hold something for them in case things becomes bad make us play it more in a smart way.
Loneliness gives space to engage in any kind of activities. As said it has got emotional part, when we fail to control our emotions it'll end up in win or loss. Here it is a loss and the situation of OP is worse. Losses at such situations will easily lead to depression, and one should take into consideration different factors before gambling. As suggested keeping the fund for the family and playing with the rest is the right way. Even if triggered we should have the self control.
Yes, but in this case, he gave in the the calling of playing his hard earn money into gambling. And the sad part, is that he lost everything in the end. And yes, it could lead to him thinking of depositing more money instead of just holding it up because he has some kind of emergency.

Hopefully that will not be the case for him here, and hope that he learn his lessons the expensive way.

The next time he goes on a feeling of loneliness, then don't gamble and just be strong.

This is the problem with online gambling. It could happen anytime. You can gamble if you're waiting for someone. You can gamble if you're stuck in traffic. You can gamble every time you have nothing else to do.

But it might help if you drain your gambling account down to the last Satoshi every time you finish your occasional gambling session so that you won't be tempted to gamble every time you have vacant time.

I wonder, did you keep savings in your gambling account wallet?
If he drains his gambling account to the last Satoshi, I'm afraid he will immediately deposit more money to continue gambling as it seems he has a problem with gambling. He had to try hard to give up gambling at all costs so that he would not gamble even if he were in that situation.

For a gambler which is very active in gambling, he must keep some money in his gambling account wallet so he can return to his account and will immediately start gambling. This is okay, but you need good self-control so you don't use the money too often.

Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks
A bad day, I'm not addicted as you think. I just spend in $1 and $2, but at some point I missed my control. As you've said I should realise and should understand what needs to be prioritised. A big learning and the same won't happen again, and I've managed the financial difficulty.

Thanks for each and everyone who took time and felt bad for my act of gambling at the wrong time. Even users who go through it too can have it in mind while gambling.
My apologies again for me getting too harsh about your decision. I might spoke bad at my post, but I just can't imagine you did it.
Well, what's done is done. The best thing you can do is to just adjust onto it, think twice or even thrice before deciding and learn from your mistake.

I just hope that you will not do this again because I believe that you aren't addicted. It's just, your loneliness ate you and you find a way to make yourself happy and the first thing that came into your mind is gambling which is a bad sign at least for me.

Learning really is expensive isn't it? Cheesy At least you learn from this one and that's more important. Good thing that you've managed to come up with a way to manage your financial difficulty. Smiley

I do not think this is about being lonely but about feeling sad, many people when they find themselves alone become sad about it as humans by nature are social creatures, and since you were alone and passing for a difficult time you were trying to find a way to cheer yourself up, you decided to gamble and you could not stop, which is very common as this happens a well to those which take a drink when they are sad and end up drunk, so avoid gambling when you are feeling down and most of your gambling problems will disappear.

In my country we have the following saying: "An empty mind is the devil's workshop".

When we're alone, we usually get out of our routine and often run out of things to do, it's in those moments that we fall into the temptation of doing what gives us the most pleasure, for some it might be gambling, for others it's social networks, pornography or games.

We usually only "disconnect" from the addiction when something calls us back, it could be physical exhaustion or zero bankroll.

Gambling needs to be well controlled, whether financially or in terms of time control, for the latter, there are several applications that help us to maintain control.

It could be, this may not only be because you are lonely and alone, but also because you are in a bad condition. Where you are waiting for your mother to have surgery, and of course, this will also give you its own worries. When the mind is not in good focus, there is a feeling of confusion in it, and there is concern about something, then this can actually be the cause for you not being optimal at gambling. especially this is gambling, where gambling can play your emotions very well and naturally. And in these conditions, you may not be able to control yourself and end up losing money, some or all of it. The lesson here that can be taken is not to engage in gambling activities if we are indeed in a state that is not ready both mentally and in thought. because we will only do gambling based on feelings and get carried away by emotions for a moment.

All in have noticed about gambling is that it is a act of doing what we are passionate about. Sometimes we enjoy gambling just like we enjoy playing games. Gambling is very interesting especially when we are making winnings and we might be lured to lose everything if we are not self controlled. This is what will make us to be less dependent on gambling and reduce our frequent hast to play games even when we are not ready or interested in making some few dollars.

Loneliness is very bad for most people and that is when they do think of doing the odd things. Try make yourself a room for adjustment.

Gambling is not an escape.
true but sadly it is for a lot of people and it is one of the reasons why there are a lot of people that are gambling addicts. they made gambling as a coping mechanism and as a result, they became reliant on it, thus becoming addicted.

Gambling when you're in a happy mood often brings you luck. That has been my experience in gambling. In the past week, almost every day I was lucky in gambling. Although not every day I win a large amount, but it can be said that I win when I am in a happy mood.
good for you but it being in a happy mood while gambling does not bring you luck, although it gives you far better decision-making than when you are not.

Loneliness triggers a lot of things that'll make you engage into some online activities, and while gambling is available online, that's actually one of the major thing that a gambler does when he find himself alone and feels bored. It's not really a bad idea though, especially when the boredom and loneliness is killing you momentarily lol. But, it became really bad when you're excessively doing it that you have to exhaust your earning for that month just to cure that boredom.
Well, it's certainly a good idea to share scenarios like this, so other people who might get into this situation will have a mirror to reflect on when they think of going to a gambling website. Gambling must be planned financially.

You gambled to improve your mood, just as some people resort to other  alcohol and other things to boost their mood when they feel down. You choose to gamble because you were already used to gambling and that already was your favourite habit. Being lonely and idle is dangerous, because it puts you in a position to make bad choices and indulge in many habits not just gambling. You must as an individual understand the danger in being idle and lonely and make plans to always keep yourself occupied, or even if the loneliness is unavoidable, better activities to indulge in than habits that can harm your purse or your health.
I would rather play up video games or something to look in my computer or PC rather than on making myself do gamble because not all people would really be that a fan on doing so.Losing money isnt something that could give out some best feeling too or could ease up the loneliness that you are currently been feeling into.This is why some might that really that interested and some might really be just staying up on their room
and rather sleeping than on doing something.Its not necessary and we know that each person does have their own ways and methods on handling themselves on times like this.
Also we do have different set of interest which we do know that people do really engage on whatever things that they do have in mind on that time.

Only you have the power to change this behavior and you really need to catch yourself any time you start to think about gambling. I don't know how much you spend on it but there are plenty of ways to have fun without spending money. There are literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions of free game apps out there to keep you preoccupied in such situations. Your mind is tricking you into thinking you can make a profit from anywhere and casinos definitely use manipulative psychological tactics to get you to spend everything. You should have been happy getting your money up and had plenty of time to stop as your balance drifted away, but that is what greed does to people, so better to abstain from it altogether if you cannot control it.
