If you are always alone and you think gambling is the solution, that's wrong. Loneliness can cause gambling addiction easily, when you are alone and you are gambling continuously, you will end up being addicted easily, it's better you get something else doing rather than gambling, just look for other things which can take your time, but if you think gambling is the best option, you will end up being addicted, and we all know addiction is always difficult to stop, so it's better you do everything possible to avoid addiction, and you might even be addicted and you wont know about your addiction, you might be thinking you are still gambling for fun and you can control yourself, but you are addicted and cant control yourself any longer.

If i know i will be alone for a long period of time, then i wont really be staying at home, i will get myself something doing to keep myself busy like being with some of my friends often, with that i will gamble less, but whenever am alone, then the rate at which i will gamble will be high.
  You don’t have a gambling addiction because you’re lonely, you have a gambling addiction because you have a discipline problem. Start saving money and delay that gratification rather than using your vice (gambling) to fulfil that emptiness you feel inside. As for the lonely part, you deal with that by putting yourself out there, join some groups, play some video games, find a hobby and make friends that way, I can promise you there are people out there that can relate to you. Also, start working out, you will build yourself up and you only require yourself to do it, this too will rid you of those empty feelings by validating yourself and building confidence.
   When dealing with any addict, understanding is key to helping. Without the ability to understand their addiction you cannot fully help them. The best was to truly understand someone else's problems is by talking to them about it. Gamblers are not much different than drug addicts. Both are chasing a high, and will go to the extreme trying to catch it. A drug addict might lie, cheat, steal, and act with little regard towards others feelings. A gambling addict will do a lot of the same things, but the high they’re chasing, is the high of winning.
This is actually the best advice that can be given to anyone who feels they can use they boredom and place it with their gambling habits because the only truth is because they lack discipline and once anyone lack discipline they can do anything to fill a void in them and doing other activities like video game playing can aslo be a good means of actually feeling this void. I once had a cousin who actually had similar issue and he also blamed it on the emptiness of his mind and always found himself in a gambling house trying to fill his dreams.

maybe by playing games they can fill their lonely time, because playing video games can be fun and can be done by everyone because of its greatness now people must have a personal cellphone and I think the cellphone they have can be used to play games, besides playing games there are also other things like watching movies and there are many other things that can be done, gambling is not the only solution to fill their lonely time, because in my opinion it is also not recommended that they are lonely to take action to gamble with the excuse of relieving loneliness.

Maybe they can do gambling but with a note of discipline, because if they do gambling with no discipline in the sense that they do gambling excessively then it can bring problems for themselves in the future, because the impact of gambling is also rarely avoidable. So don't make gambling a solution to loneliness or boredom.

Thank you for your advice. It's important to prioritize healthy and social activities to overcome loneliness. I'll make sure to spend more time with friends and family, engage in recreational activities, and avoid gambling as a way to cope. I appreciate your concern about the potential financial risks associated with it.
There are extreme cases where family and friends may not be present in the same space as you and that feeling of loneliness becomes inevitable. Spending time with them becomes impossible. There are times where even in the midst of people you are still lonely. Some loneliness is accompanied with depression. Join a bowling league, book club, volunteer for a charity, etc. Discover your passion and invest your time and effort into it while you try to connect with people with similar interests. And repeat the activities on a periodic basis. Life is about having stuff to look forward to.



No one can predict the future completely and that means it is very possible for them or you to experience the same condition as you described which is far from many people because of something that can certainly make you feel lonely and that's where several possibilities can occur, not only gambling but to do some other actions that also have risks that can occur such as getting drunk or taking drugs to make yourself less lonely by feeling the effects of what you consume.

But lately as technology develops more and more people prefer to engage in gambling because gambling seems to be more and more promoted and easier to find on some social media accidentally, so it's a possibility that might happen. If you are feeling lonely then it is better to find other activities that can be useful and still in the positive category to do, all of this is a choice and your choice will determine everything about what you will experience as a result of the decisions you have chosen.

I'm confused and looking for answers

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?

Absolutely.

When you are alone, things can seem hopeless. You can easily believe that you have nothing to lose...and therefore, move to unhealthy habits and addictions with the excuse of having nothing to lose. Most vices form this way. Fast food, drug habits, irresponsible behavior, gambling, and other things I need not name.

How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?

Usually this is a bald faced lie by those trying to excuse their gambling or their addiction.

It's rare that people are gambling purely for the purpose of fun, and that there is nothing unhealthy additionally attached.


All these questions is been asked because someone close said all these and I think he are losing money and losing himself too, of all the discussions we had, these are the points I held unto.

Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.

The desire to become more might also be fuelling this persons addiction. Maybe he is seeking riches, hungry for more.

I think the best things to ask him are:
- How will you feel after 1 year, when the $500 per day potentially accumulates to over $75,000 in losses?
- What are you trying to achieve?

It's best for a professional to discover the root of the problem, but if this is a close friend, you might be able to help them find that problem which might help to resolve it.

Good luck with supporting your friend. I am sorry to hear about his situation.

I’ve always thought the majority of us tend to behave more responsible after getting married. And we automatically curb or stop totally some not so healthy things we previously did.
A man losses his family suddenly and becomes lonely overnight. That could push just about anyone to relapse back into whatever activity he did before and quit cause of his family. It could also push an ordinarily leisure gambler into gambling excessively.

Without any responsibility, it would easy for anyone to do as he pleases as the repercussions would only befall him and no one else.
Agree with you on this. Responsibility can help us reshape ourselves into our better version. Not true for everyone but most of the times when a man marries he takes up his family responsibilities without any hesitations. Especially the older child does this. Taking care for his families, making daily needs, having a roof under he and his families becomes the main concern. Whatever the things he did in the past before marriages, doesn't concern him anymore. As for gambling habits, it vanishes with time because he has a family to take care of. Family always comes first in term of priority.

The lonely people easily get addicted to the gambling,if you are lonely and play the gambling means you may come to know about this.If the gambler was disciplined while playing gambling,he will not get addicted to gambling at any cost.The gambler should keep their weekly allocation of budget to the gambling site,if he had completed the weekly allocation.He should wait till the next week for the gambling game,So he will have the controlled game in the gambling site.

The gambler should not continue the same day game with the loss in the gambling site.So the game in the gambling site will be mostly with the more emotional one.The gambler had their more possibilities of losing the gambling game if they try the game with the emotions of loss.He should learn to play in the normal way after the loss in the gambling site,it help to free from gambling addiction.

Once addicted to gambling, it is difficult to stop playing it whenever we want, because getting out of it is much more difficult than entering. I have always been interested in the first reason why a player discovers gambling for the first time and makes the first bet, what motivates him at this moment. He was probably poorly informed about the consequences of playing a lot, or he wanted to test his luck, it seemed to him that he was special. This can also happen when someone starts smoking their first cigarette for the first time because it’s fun. I listed all this to mean that you can start your journey in gambling for many reasons, and of course loneliness is just one of those dozens and hundreds of reasons, I don’t see anything special in it.
I agree with you, when someone gambles for the first time then he will gamble again the next day regardless for whatever reason but the effects of the initial addiction have called him to be present in gambling, the effects of gambling are caused by loneliness which causes you to like things related to addiction to get rid of loneliness and stress, but gambling has a bad impact if someone gambles in an unstable state of mind, uncontrolled behavior and is easily emotional, which will cause high losses in gambling.

Loneliness will not make everyone addicted to gambling, but other things can influence addiction because they have won high stakes and they seem to forget previous losses instantly even though the winnings cannot recover losses from previous losses.
Specially if your first bets turns out to be a win then it would really be creating that kind of boost up into yourself and thinking that winning in gambling is easy on which it wouldnt really be
that good if you do tolerate out such kind of emotion because this is where people do usually mess up on the time that they do mold up that kind of emotion. Being lonely is also considered
to be one of the emotions that could push up someone to play further because on the time that you are seeking for entertainment and leisure then its neither on gambling and other
activities on which you would really be putting your focus on. On the time that you do make money then this is where you would really be that changing up those kind of hopes.
Emotionality is a natural and normal feeling for a person, which is why people love gambling to play with their nerves. Professionals have a cold calculation and almost no emotions because in their years of playing they have already seen all the different situations from the worst to the best, it is difficult to surprise them with anything. I even thought that I haven’t seen a single lonely professional, probably family and friends fuel them with motivation for development. A lonely person does not have such a boost in motivation, which makes it even more difficult to cope with losses.

I wont say that those pros having no emotion, it is really just that they've been get used to on such situation and this is why they do really have that good control or composure when dealing up with gambling and this is the main difference in between pros comparing into those newbies.It is really indeed true that you would really be having that kind of pushing up yourself on playing gambling
on the time that you would really be having the feeling of loneliness on which it is really just that normal that you would really be trying out to seek on something which would wipe out those
loneliness away and if ever you do consider yourself on playing gambling then it would likely that you would really be choosing gambling in the end of the day.

What happened is that a rich person either tries very hard to have and know things, if they don't know it they only pay financial advisors who have studied a lot about this, therefore a person who allows themselves to be carried away by good management. From a financial advisor things will only turn out well, no matter how much they say they can learn, they will do it but at their own pace, they will not strive to do it because they know they can and have everything, so their interests, unless it is in knowing, is what unique, but in this case things when it comes to a person's knowledge can be very varied, many more things can happen, the Financial aspect for me is the most important, and if a person who knows a lot sticks only to learning, it is not Bad, because there is nothing better than investing in our own knowledge, Knowing how well a person can manage in a company or in a particular activity, in any case when we do things that can go in the right Direction , we know that a A person with a high financial education Knows how to behave in a Casino.

This means that when a person who has a high Financial culture Knows very well that he cannot spend a lot of Money in a casino , because he Understands that when he puts in little money that is what he is willing to lose, or he lets himself be carried away by emotions or by impulse, in this case the people who have this type of financial education are clear that the casino is just that, a company, a business that will Always have the advantage of the House and that they cannot fight against that, because it is Impossible for them to win , the Numbers do not work , it is something that is already pre-established, the fact that a lot is Played and there are some flashes of luck is what the player can and should take Advantage of, because the rest cannot be done any Further , this is what we think about what can be done , that's why in a casino those who lose control are those who are Basically Addicts.
Yes, rich people will definitely try to find out what they want to know and with their financial capabilities, they can pay people to find out and they have to wait for the results and then analyze it themselves and decide what to do. These rich people already have many sources of accurate information that can be trusted, so it will make it easier for them to find out what they want to know quickly. They only focus on making decisions after analyzing everything and will find the decision they want and they feel it is right. The financial aspect is one of the most important things in life, so if we have stable finances, we will not experience problems related to finances. Rich people can really take care of their finances well and get more financial resources, which will also add to their list of wealth. That's what we have to try to do if we want to try to increase the amount of our wealth and indeed, it takes time, but if we are serious about doing it, we can definitely be wrong.

And when someone has good finances, he has the choice to use it for gambling or other things. And when they decide to gamble, maybe they will use more money than other people and we certainly think he really can't minimize the risk but it is a risk that really rich people can take. He has a lot of money so he can take bigger risks than most gamblers so we can't judge whether what he decides is good for him or bad for him. They understand the situation and conditions better because it is their money. And they can also take care of themselves while gambling because they know that gambling is just entertainment and they won't gamble for too long. They indeed spend more than us but that is the amount of money they can afford and they will not experience any problems, let alone getting addicted to gambling. They can avoid gambling addiction because they know what impact it will have on them if they lose control of themselves.

Those who have more money will always have an easier life, and whoever tells me no, I can tell them that once and again they are wrong, because when they are Hungry, they have food, when they get sick they have medicine, an exclusive medical service, It's that actually, for everything you need money, and that will always be the case, now, a person who has a lot of money and who is alone is because he really wants to feel Alone , if we have that money we can stay in a caisno and wherever we want. , but it won't affect him in the least if he loses, in fact I believe that the person will get bored because he doesn't have any kind of need, so a person who doesn't want to feel alone is because he really has to do other things, entertain himself, have friends, even false friendships appear when a person has a lot of money, then I say something , a Rich person has no problems of any kind, there is no one you can worry about.

For people who are in a casino and have a somewhat poor , low economy or their economic capabilities are not enough because they have to do things so that it does not affect them, for example I am a person who is always thinking that a person with little If you want to play in a casino, you can do so as long as you know that you have to measure your abilities, or go overboard and have plenty of money that you will not need later to cover basic things, but because that is what it can be like, in this oprde of ideas if the person is alone, his economy is low , he should not take refuge in a cabin to not feel alone, that is like looking for a needle in a haystack, he will hardly find it, he cannot do something like that, he has to be more precise If you don't want to feel alone, you can go to a casino, but play in a solid, mature way, make interpersonal relationships with others, socialize, find people to talk to, share, go out and play soccer , all this Helps.

Your advice is very helpful money risk putting people in more trouble. It is very difficult to lead a normal life when the financial situation is bad. There are no friends like family to relieve loneliness. It is better to look at something positively rather than pessimistically. When the glass is half full see it as half full not half empty. Listen to motivational quotes from different people and overcome the negativity in your mind.

Well, that why those billionaires who like to gamble never experience complicated problems because of gambling because they can act wisely when they are gambling and every loss doesn't make them disappointed because they understand that it just payment for having fun.
No billionaire ever feels lonely because they have whatever they want and they always have time that is never wasted, so gambling is no longer priority activity.
Moreover, they don't gamble in just any place and they gamble in places that are really for rich people too.

This happens because billions of people can manage whatever they are doing, including every activity of having fun with gambling.
They are willing to spend more money, but this money is money that is intended to have fun, so whatever the results even if they run out, they will still be received with smile.
Seeing how billionaires gamble sometimes makes me feel new things that gamblers in general cannot do.
The billionaires don't feel any problems because they can use gambling as entertainment and they don't chase wins. They know that they have to be wise in gambling so that they can enjoy their free time by gambling. Billionaires don't experience loneliness because they have more responsibilities in their daily lives and also have many activities to do so they can divide their time well. They will not waste their time in vain because, for them, time is money and they must be able to use it as best as possible. They also have high discipline so they will not be in trouble.

The billionaires really know how they should use their money and they have allocated a certain amount of funds for gambling so that it will only provide the pleasure they are looking for and not to win. If they win, they will share it with people they know because they are also famous for their generosity towards each other. They don't worry if they lose because they still have more money in their savings, especially from other sources of income and that is what allows them to get the passive income that many people want.

Test his luck. That's the most frequent reason that I have seen while some are a solution to their financial problem. Others do it just to entertain themselves, especially in moments when they are waiting for the game to start, sports gamblers. I do that. Cheesy
I don't see loneliness to be a key to addiction in gambling, I mean there's a chatbox offered by most gambling sites and somehow they can talk about something else using that.
However, being alone and funded by someone else could lead to addiction. A gambler who must work will be forced to go to work which means rest while those who are funded by someone else can stay in the house to just gamble every day. I think they are the most prone to make the gambling habit worse.
Perhaps the chat window really helps someone feel not alone. They find friends of similar interests there, which is certainly good, but probably in real life almost no one from the chat saw each other. I'll be glad if I'm wrong. I think that it is very important to communicate live other than online, be it in-game chat or social networks. At the same time, I understand that in our age of digitalization, real communication fades into the background.

Yep this is a great possibility and I have been there a few times when I am alone. Usually we can be tempted to gamble if we are just getting bored and didn’t know what to do.

During those times that I am alone, I usually do online gambling right in front of my computer and mobile phone with some of my extra money like sports betting, crash, roulette, hi-lo, dice, etc., that would lead me to addiction once I have some winning streaks. It lead me to bet some more and getting greedy at times.

But when I lose, sometimes I do revenge betting way beyond my limited budget and it’s also one of my mistakes that I have ever learned.

As of now when I am alone, I have a new habit now which is to simply get out of the house, strolling, sipping my Starbucks and either by myself or with my friends and colleagues and just engaging much lesser into gambling.

most important thing is that it all depends on our own mindset and I often say this in almost several threads that mindset very important for me because even though I keep myself busy with other activities that dont cause excessive dopamine such as hanging out in comfortable place, I dont need to spend a lot of money just being with people we love or other friend can divert our minds from excessive pleasure so as not to trigger an increase in dopamine.
You're right, we don't need to spend a lot when we're trying to have fun, it's a matter of mindset and how you perceive how having fun works because the perception of having fun is a different per person. Also, it's worth nothing that if you're feeling sad or depressed even when you're hanging out with your friends then a professional help or psychiatric intervention should be imminent.

diverting the mind by working on the side also seems to be good, but remember that if a gambler works all day and then works again at night, it will be very dangerous for depression to increase in the mind, so if you work from morning to evening, look for other activities that dont burden your mind too much but can forget about gambling.
That's why I said in my first reply to your first statement that an intervention that involves mental health professionals are a must because if that's not happening, depression will only get worse. There's a lot of stuff that you can do that's cheap and doesn't stress you out too much, you can always try board games or computer games right?

I'm sure it is. The fact is that a single person has much more time to do such things, but if a gambler has a family and especially children, he has very little time to take care of himself. A single guy is looking for ways to earn or entertain himself and all that can be provided in gambling. It's very easy to start playing out of boredom, and then believe that you can make money with it. Although it would certainly be wrong. And a married guy is looking for more reliable sources of income that will definitely bring money, even if they are not big, but guaranteed, of course I mean part-time jobs at official workplaces.

I’ve always thought the majority of us tend to behave more responsible after getting married. And we automatically curb or stop totally some not so healthy things we previously did.
A man losses his family suddenly and becomes lonely overnight. That could push just about anyone to relapse back into whatever activity he did before and quit cause of his family. It could also push an ordinarily leisure gambler into gambling excessively.

Without any responsibility, it would easy for anyone to do as he pleases as the repercussions would only befall him and no one else.

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?
A human being may have different kinds of desire to love someone who likes to read books, someone listen to music. One can have different needs or good feelings for one human. It is only natural for anyone who will get free time. I will admit that if anyone likes to gambling, if he has money, he will prefer to be gambling than other things because there is a relationship with money. In addition to celebrating the joy, getting money will certainly be ahead of any other hobby. Gamboling is a good option for those who have enjoyed the gambling before. I like gambling, it will help me have a good time when I am alone.

There are many factors where a person will be attracted to something that will delight him, gambling is one side and like what you said,
there are other things in life that may gain interest to a person.

Being addicted in the sense of being in the bad place like gambling is something that can be trigger when you don't have anything to do in life.

One reason is, if you don't have a wide social life, loneliness can put you in the place where only gambling can bring that joy and fun.
