The gambling addiction was the common to both man and women,So the possibility of woman to get addicted to gambling will be more.If the gambling give some excitement to the gambler at the beginning level,he or she get addicted to the gambling at the initial level.So the gambler should use the gambling for the entertainment and doesn't get addicted and loss money by random betting in the gambling.The random betting never good option even it give you more win in the short period.The lonely people depressed by the time being,So he get into the game or gambling to manage the time and get entertain themselves using the gambling site.

This should be greediness or lack of control of money made. I don’t know really but if you make so much in a month, gambling should be an option for you to go into. If this money you earn in a month can satisfy all of your needs, you need to just stay contended with what you have. Going into gambling without experience about it will only make you lose more money than you can gain when you’ve switched your forum to it only.


Loneliness shouldn’t make you addicted to gambling unless you have interest in it before that happened to you. There are several things that will come to mind when you’re lonely, but gambling wasn’t an option that will come to my mind if such happens. Although people think and react differently to certain happenings in their lives, but loneliness and gambling are two different cases in my opinion about them.

If you are bored, you will definitely find something that will make you happy or busy, so being bored will definitely make someone gamble when you don’t have any choice but to do it and have fun. People often gamble just to get some excitement and forget other things that worry them, so definitely being alone can make someone gamble. However, when lonely, you must do something to avoid being depressed, you know that? So when you are alone, it is not that you must like gambling before you do it, but the reason why you will start it is because you don't do anything and you need something to make you busy. From there, gambling will come to your mind, and you will decide to gamble. When you do it once or twice and you see that you are getting the kind of pleasure you want, which is having fun, you will continue to do it to avoid being alone for the rest of the time.

Some things are addictive by nature, and gambling is one of those things. So, if someone starts gambling for whatever reason, in this case, the reason is loneliness, that person will start spending much time on this activity because they don't have other things to do and they also need an escape from the loneliness and the stress that they go through because of that and gambling becomes the perfect way to spend the time without any stress or anything.

But, as time goes by, the person will start to feel attached to the activity, and even if they have come out of the state they were in, they wouldn't be able to stop gambling now since they are in the habit of it and when they don't gamble, they feel a strong urge to do it no matter what they are doing. So, doing something excessively can also make us get addicted to it.

I wouldn't suggest gambling a way to get rid of out loneliness. While trying to get rid of loneliness one might be becoming a gambling addict. There are other ways to keep ourselves busy. Why choose gambling at all? In fact what is loneliness? Having no one, isn't it? If I keep it simple! So rather than joining gambling platform one should gather in social gatherings. Talk with others, express out thoughts to out loved ones etc.

Yes it affect us a lot since from that condition we may seek some validation from other people. So if we are dealing with gamblers which bet heavily for sake of self satisfaction then provably we will try to impress them since we want to be impressed this people and that could lead us to addiction or any worse than we think. If we don't have anything to do and gambling is our escape route from real life issues for sure we will experience some things that we don't expect to happen that's why their are people been addicted because they come to situation they can't control their self anymore since they didn't control anything especially for setting up their expectation towards the activities they have done. If this people will have an ice breaker like a person that warn them not to exceed to much and always do the right thing for them when they are doing to much in control maybe they can avoid to being in harmful condition but things always comes late and realization will go after they experience the worst case in their life.

Loneliness can affect us a lot if we don't have something to do. It is good for us to always keep ourselves busy so that we don't get addicted to our lonely lifestyle so it doesn't.ake us to look for ways to keep ourselves busy and get things done. Gambling is the only thing that could keep us busy without us knowing. It is good for us to gamble responsibly when we gamble and not do it in a way that would affect us too much or make us do something that does not worth our stress just like gambling for hours without making any profits.

It varies from person to person. But yes, loneliness can one of a cause of gambling addiction. To be honest loneliness can be the cause of many things. Such as depression, anxiety, stress, Heart disease, stroke, dementia etc. Sometimes even death. That's why we see news's ow suicide everyday. Why do you think people suicide despite having everything? Its because of loneliness. So as you can see loneliness is more serious than you think, not just for gambling but for life.

And interesting things would really be that definitely be that depending on someones interest because we know that each person does have their own approach when it comes to things on which when it comes to
entertainment or something that could really be able to ease up that kind of boredom and this is something that it would really vary from person to person. This is why whenyou do get bored or having that loneliness then it would really be just that normal for a human being to have kind of urge for them to find out on place on which they do seem that it could really ease out that boredom on which it is really that indeed likely on putting up yourself on dealing with gambling if you are that someone whose really that getting enjoyment with gambling then you would be mainly be going near or doing such thing
on the time that you are experiencing such condition.

Whether you do gamble or doing some physical activities or something that getting in line with your hobby or interest is the thing that you would
be most likely be that doing so.

If you are alone all the time, you will constantly want to gamble and you won't view it as anything when you keep loading games on each other. That is even the quickest method to become an addict. In the process of gambling, fictional money has a way of playing havoc with people's minds. For example, you might wish to buy a private aircraft with the possibility of winning; it's strange how people think. Instead of calculating money that hasn't been won, that's a separate thing if you do end up winning. People are just too greedy and the greed of people have help majority of this gambling companies.

Majority of them don't know when to leave the screen true they focus on it as if this gambling sites are owing them. They just want to win by all means and at the expense of everything. And that greed need to be controlled.

Well, you are actually right, there is a wide variety of choices to do as a distraction to eliminate the boredom to people, it would literally depend on what things they find interesting. But if you discovered gambling and got interested, for sure there would be a cycle when you lose money, you would try to recover it and if you win, you would try to win again which could cause addiction. For sure some gamblers could also do the things you said like watching videos on TikTok, but some boredom would be killed if you put some excitement feeling and thrill, into doing some simple activities. But as adults, we should be aware of things we should do as distractions cause we can already differentiate what could be bad and good for us. For me, sports could be a better distraction, it might not help you financially but it could help you to eliminate boredom and as well be physically and mentally healthy as you exercise like for example, basketball which is pretty popular in my country.

It's just an excuse, there are many things we can do when we get bored and more over gambling is going to task you because it's not for free, so the only thing that can come to your mind when bored is gambling, that's a big fat lie

Things have change compare to the past, you can use your smartphone to watch tiktok for hours without you realizing that the time is already gone, a gambler once said that if he lose money he use TikTok to change his mood and I told him it doesn't matter, if he feel sad for losing he is using too much money on gambling, but he claimed that TikTok works.

If you are bored and gambling comes to your mind, it's because you feel like making money, it's not about been bored, you can do other things without risking your money to keep you entertained for as long as you want.

Loneliness can lead one to gamble as it can turn out to be one way of entertaining themselves, but when we bring in the topic of gambling addiction..the cause has to be greed no two ways about it!!!

As far as am concerned ,the primary cause of gambling addiction centres around greed because as a gambler you never want to leave your screen as you see yourself as a winner but truth is winners know when to stop and when it comes to gambling we need to accept that we don't always win and need to try our luck on a later date.

Hahaha, you are right both of these things are obtained from gambling and when they use certain amount of money to start betting, they will immediately feel pleasure, but there are certain conditions where over time gambling does not provide pleasure but self-destruction.
This will come as time goes by so we just need to be prepared and try our best to stay safe without feeling afraid when something bad like that comes, as long as we only aim and think about pleasure then every defeat is not detrimental problem.
But some people who come when they are lonely and feel depressed can develop a crazy desire for the adrenaline rush of risking more money and then seeing the end result.
Lonely people are much more likely to do stupid things when they have difficulty feeling pleasure and enjoying entertainment.

Gambling is an activity full of risks, even though we are satisfied that we can be entertained, this risk must still be minimized as much as possible and when we have experienced it we must be able to accept it happily without any regrets.

It would really be a trigger specially if you are that someone whose really that doing some gambling then it would be likely that you would really be ending up with this kind of option
unlike into those people who are really that having some knowledge when it comes to certain sports or whatever hobby that they do have on which it would really be an option for them.
We do have difference choices and preferences when it comes to things on which it is really just that basing up on where you would be finding yourself to be that be enjoying.
If you do find out that you are really that enjoying when it comes to gambling then you would really be going.

I could say that it is really that one of the reasons too on why we are really that pushed on playing gambling because of being lonely but we know that losing
money makes even more lonely. 

Being bored has a powerful effect on people, leading them to gamble. Some people find gambling news online and decide to give it a try, reasoning that since others are making money from it, they should be allowed to gamble too. If someone has ever become addicted to gambling while alone, I believe they may have the experience somewhere before. When someone gambles alone, they stand to lose a significant amount of money because no one will support them or tell them to stop. His wife cannot just left him and decided to gambling, would the gambling help to fix the problem? You can help him comprehend that gambling addiction leads to financial loss, after all, his wife left him, so he shouldn't have lost money at the same time, when he lose at the first time, he shouldn't have try it again. Not everybody likes to gamble. Bored will make people gamble, but in my opinion for those who still want to gamble.

all people have their own choices, including those who are lonely they will determine what to do so that they don't feel lonely, but seeing from the development of technology now with the number of gambling advertisements that are always on every internet and people who are 100% always holding their cellphones at all times it will be easy for them to gamble when they are lonely, because the process for depositing is not so difficult and easy for everyone to do, If they can't control themselves, then they might have a chance to gamble when they are lonely. And even if they have friends to chat with maybe they will still do it because most people today prefer to gamble online rather than playing online games, and you can also be sure that the percentage of people who play online games and those who play online gambling, online gambling is more played by many people today. With its easy access and can be done using only a cell phone. so they tend to prefer online gambling. As you said when they are lonely they will do or have fun as they like, it's true. So it's natural that lonely people can do gambling, because along with the development of technology that supports today, which is all easy to do just by using a handheld cellphone that everyone has in general.

People's perspectives are different, so there are those who think it's bad and good. But what you said is true, many people are lonely and do gambling so that they become addicted even though they only play with the beginning just to try but you can be sure that sooner or later they will be addicted to gambling, especially with the situation that is always lonely, it is very vulnerable for them to do gambling when they are lonely. Having a friend to chat with who stays away from the hat talking about gambling is very rare, because many people today most likely know about gambling and the chatter of every gathering of people more or less they know about gambling that is busy in the community. it's true that you said casinos are the best choice if they are adults, in the sense that they can play wisely. is that right?
By gambling wisely they can get pleasure and entertainment by gambling, but if they are lonely and gamble by not being able to control their emotions and control themselves it will only make things worse, of course it will harm them themselves who will feel it.

To me, I feel like loneliness leading to gambling doesn't have that much difference, most of them just want to feel some sort of excitement and self-destruction, and gambling is the perfect way for someone to do both of that for the price of one. When you are lonely or having bouts of depression, you are subconsciously seeking out fun or any stimulation because you don't feel like having any interest in anything but at the same time you don't feel like doing too much effort to gain fun and so you go to the most convenient way to get those short-term happiness and stimulation which is gambling. Loneliness isn't a bad thing, it's part of being a human so to anyone that's feeling that I hope that you get better and take your time getting out of that pit.

Yes, maybe that's the case, but we have to see that if we, when we are in the middle of a very big problem , for a very big problem, sometimes the solution is very easy, very simple and can make a difference, then in this order of ideas We have to see what is best for us, because if he feels good like this, and it gives him happiness and he found his method for his well-being, it is something quite strange, but he got help with his bad moment, and because we are quite different people, well It is respected that things are like that, I don't blame him, because it is hard, in the case of a person's loneliness it is only if they want to feel alone, because a lonely person can do and have fun as they want, no one tells them anything, No one Blames you, well, in part it's not bad, you can get used to that way of life quickly because the rules you have are the same as those of that person, then it's not that bad, but if you see it from the point of view that you are Alone and there is nothing else in the world, of course you must feel bad.

The fact that a person goes to a casino, well, it is not bad , it is something that can be good, because it is to be distracted , to enjoy, then it is not bad from the point of view that you have to control your money and not allow become addicted, because things do get complicated there, because if a person feels alone and also has an addiction, it is a very ugly mix , at least having friends is the only thing, even so, a person cannot throw away their life Thus , because things tend to be quite strong when a person feels this way, one has to look for more fun options to have a better time, the casino is a very good option, only if the person is mature in terms of gambling. chance and casinos, that's why it's good to always have a lot of reason in our actions and not get carried away by emotions because it's very easy to follow impulses and lose money , in the meantime , that's the premise , taking care of money.

Loneliness will make a person seek someone to talk to and do something fun and choosing gambling to entertain oneself is probably the easiest. For men, I think this is not what necessarily happens since men could always go to the bar and talk to the barman or someone else.

But for women, it could be. Women socializing with someone new could end up in something else like an affair but a woman just in the slot machine is more fun.
