Gambling because you are lonely is possible but shouldn't be considered solid reason to probably get into gambling because you may not know when to stop as you are craving company and not entertainment so you may get so engrossed and probably become addicted.

Because you will continually fall back to it repeatedly whenever you are lonely again and gambling isn't a cure for loneliness, you will loose money and may proceed to depression since you were lonely because when you exhaust your funds you may fall back to been lonely again, this time without funds which is even worse. So it's always best to gamble for fun regardless of how much you make from it daily be responsible with your gambling habit and make sure to apply self control els your become addicted certainly.

Yes, hopefully, he has started to improve himself by realizing his mistake in gambling. And he is also trying to change himself for the better and if he can't go back to his wife because they are divorced, he still has a chance to get another woman.

Everything still has a chance to change if they can realize it. Only with self-awareness is what they can do to change themselves into better people. And even though he felt it was hard, he had to keep trying because it was all for his own good.

He must try to open himself up to others so that others can approach him and give him the best advice. This is to keep him away from his bad habits and to get the enthusiasm to get up and start giving up his gambling. He definitely can, especially if there is encouragement from other people who want to help him.

Gambling can be in two phases and it all depends on the phase that we are at a particular time for us to make profits. Gambling is all about understanding our mental health and ways to avoid getting too addicted to it. Can can earn as much as we want to get profited if we have the mindset of taking risk. Although their are some persons who had been taking risks in betting but still have nit made anything tangible from betting. It all depends on our luck and how and what strategy we are using to play bets. There are people that are very lucky in gambling allowing them to win some good profits.

Or maybe he will now fix his self? I already saw lot's of guys or girl, changes drastically right after their partner leaves them. One example is they will now work out or go the gym to have a better body and become more attractive, so that when their partner seems them again, they will try to approach them but it's too late.

All they want now is revenge. An encouragement from other people might still be needed because you could also be right there, that what if the situation could only lead him to become more attached to gambling? I'm sure, he can listen carefully now because he only got those people for now. He will try to value them as much as possible.

It's true, gambling is not good if you feel that way. If you just want to turn your attention to something else, maybe don't gamble, there are many other things that you can focus on because it will only get worse because we know that gambling really consumes money if you are not in your right mind.

So for those who have friends like this, make sure you are always there before they lose their way. They just need someone to talk to, lean on, get rid of bad feelings etc.

Yes it is possible, and in my opinion it also really depends on the character of each person too, because some are closed and some are quite open by telling some of their problems to other people such as the closest people maybe or family, and if indeed they are one of the people who are closed about all their affairs, especially the problems they are experiencing then it is very likely that they will feel lonely, Especially when facing problems, and with that some possibilities to do uncontrollable things are very likely they do there, the emotional impulse and pressure from the situation is quite large, and with such conditions it is only natural that uncontrollable things they will do because emotions will not be able to make a consideration.

Gambling, alcohol or drugs is one of the things that they are more likely to do in such a depressed state, it is true that they do it because they want the pleasure effect of these actions that will make them forget about their problems a little, but on the other hand it is really not recommended, and in fact as you said it will only add to the problem. Of course, one of the things that can be used as a preventive measure is to try to always think consciously, because then I'm sure there will be good enough consideration, so that the situation does not get worse.

That's true because when he is lonely, he will probably reminisce about all the events he experienced in the past and there is a possibility that he will try to visit the casino site he used to play at. And when he realizes that gambling games can provide pleasure, maybe he will return to gambling and if that happens, he will find it difficult to control himself. But if he can spend his time doing other things that are more useful, he will not return to gambling because he has found things that can bring him pleasure. And he can also open himself to doing things that might make him find someone else who can fill the emptiness in his heart. Thus, he did not need to use gambling to overcome his loneliness.

People who are experiencing problems in their lives may not be able to just tell other people so they will feel lonely in their lives so it is possible that lonely people will engage in activities beyond common sense such as gambling, drugs, alcohol, and so on. They consider this activity to be entertainment, even though it is only entertaining for a short time. Even though it has been proven, many people are confused and feel lonely in their lives, but if they continue to carry out activities such as gambling, drugs and drinking alcohol, the problems in their lives will not be immediately resolved but will instead become increasingly difficult to resolve. because the majority of these people do not use common sense. just using your mind because you want to be entertained even if only for a moment.
And what you say is true, if people experience something like that, it would be better to balance it with a healthy mind so that the aim is not to add new problems to their lives.

It basically depends on your personal interests and what you stumble upon when you are sad and stressed out and looking for a way to kill time and prevent yourself from drowning in depression that might be more harmful. So, someone who might had some interest in gambling in the past and has become lonely just recently might turn back to it.

Well, a lot of people don't gamble just because they find it fun, some might do it because of loneliness and depression and others might be doing it for earning money.

It's either addiction or reckless behavior just because one has a lot of money and they can afford to lose that much in a month. Whatever the reason is, it shouldn't be done.

He needs help, obviously. He is going into depression and he is definitely looking for ways that can save him from that and he is trying to do that with gambling. If he is a close one, try to help them out, spend some time with them, and try to cheer them up, also try and get them to do some other activity instead of gambling and wasting that much money. Video games can be a good way to convert your mind from such things.

I think it's a must for anyone who wants to gamble to understand all the positives and negatives that exist in gambling, they must consider everything, don't let you come with the wrong mindset like "one way to earn", assumptions like that are really not recommended because it's nothing more than a trap so that you continue to gamble. And also for the second point gambling is not a good alternative for anyone to be used as an escape from his life or personal problems, instead of making you better but there will only cause many new problems, especially your finances.

So I hope that anyone can be more realistic in looking at this gambling, don't overdo it because of course this is not a place to earn but just entertainment by enjoying a few rounds, and if you are lucky then you will get prizes such as random winnings. For those who are introverts yes maybe it's just their feelings about why they can't build good relationships with people around them, I think other people can be open to new people but maybe you are too restrictive. So it's better to go out, play with friends your own age, don't limit yourself so you don't get lonely.

I absolutely agree with you that gambling is entertainment. It is a pity that many people do not realize this and therefore create problems for themselves.

I think that if this man can not control his actions after his wife left, then he needs to get her back by all means.

Outhue, if you have the opportunity to find this man's wife and talk to her, do so. I think it could play a very important role in this man's life.

There are two things that actually shouldn't be considered in gambling, namely gambling as the best way to make money and gambling as an escape from the realities of life, gambling should only be used as entertainment.

btw, This is a strong reason why everyone is obliged to have good social relations in their environment, but out there now there are quite a lot of introverted people, who feel they are not worthy of being friends with other people. In essence, attention from family - closest friends - social services is very important to support someone who is depressed or who is truly lonely.

On one hand it's possible, but an addict will also blame everyone and everything for his addiction.
Think of it this way. You start gambling, become addicted, lose your money and then the blaming begins.

It wasn't me, it was my ex girlfriend who left me and I was so sad so I started gambling and lost all my money and then went to my parents, borrowed from them and lost that too.
That's no excuse.

Hey man, I didn't want to lose your money, but I was lonely and bored and you know, there was this dice game...

A person's sadness can cause them to become addicted to anything, because they are depressed. You are no longer in the right mindset, all you want is to turn your attention to others, especially if the love of your life has left you.
In your friend's situation, gambling is what he turned his attention to so that he could forget what he was going through at least a little bit.

Definitely loneliness is a vulnerability factor for somebody to gamble and particularly even on gambling online. Loneliness is part of a negative feelings and negative feelings is one of the things that people who struggle with the addiction develop. That they will go gamble and that becomes a way of coping with those negative feelings. Therefore if somebody is extremely lonely they go in and  gamble and they're feeling that euphoria, they're feeling excitement they feel a sense of community even though they don't have to talk to somebody. What happens next is that, they go and do it again and again and again and it put them at risk of problem gambling.

We do things without planning, just get ready to lose heavily in the system. Loneliness would never drive me to gamble without first devising a strategy for profitability. We lose and make tremendous gains in the system; it's only a matter of how many lucky days we have and how many unlucky ones we experience. Gambling should be viewed as an activity that generates extra changes for our wants rather than our most basic necessities. Every one of us has difficulties that are undoubtedly stressing us out due to our inability about resolving them. To begin with, gambling is not a solid source of income on which we ought to depend exclusively.

Yes quite agree with your assumption, honestly I don't know what that person was thinking that he could get into gambling so easily, but it might be because of the pressure of their situation that finally concluded that they had to gamble, and also yes I can't fully justify my opinion on this because of course there are many other things they can do to just look for fun to take their mind off their problems with his wife. I guess there may be some other factors that ultimately make them choose to gamble, it could be that they are very familiar with the gambling environment around them or simply that many of their friends like to gamble, so that when they are depressed due to personal problems then they divert their minds to activities that will only add to the problem.

Yes, it is true that everyone has their own character and they also have their own way of solving their problems along with finding peace when in such conditions. But yes I also can't fully blame them because they do that as a result of their chaotic mind, and maybe in my opinion it's better before you do something you have to consider it first, gambling is not an alternative to solving problems like you said but will only add new problems, that's for sure friends.

That's right, things might become worse when you're on your own and you're feeling lonely. Emotion plays a big factor with the results of our bets. Because if we're just feeling lonely and we tend to gamble, you'll never know what's going to be the outcome of it. But if you're on the right thinking even if you're lonely, just prove that to yourself and see if you'll get some good results.

While we do see gamblers that are trying to remove the stress that they have through gambling. It's very likely that they'll also have what you have said of tripling or doubling that feeling. Just don't do it when you feel that you're not going to make it or you just want to have fun. It's still important to look at yourself as you know yourself better and results do vary based on how you're feeling right now and the decisions that you'll do too.

But indeed gambling provides extraordinary pleasure, even the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction from gambling cannot be obtained in other activities.
By betting on Live Blackjack and Live Roulette it will also provide more pleasure because we will never feel bored there and can exchange guesses with other gamblers.
From all this it can be said that gambling is the right place to have fun and entertain yourself it just that some people misunderstand gambling activities.

Gambling addiction cannot be seen just because of the style of speaking because when someone talks more about gambling it doesn't mean he is also gambling addict.The most effective thing in judging whether someone is addicted or not is only from the attitudes and behavior.
There will be striking difference between gambling addict and people who don't like gambling.

In my opinion, he has made a mistake, he should not easily enter the world of gambling because his wife has abandoned him. If there is someone like that, in my opinion he can't understand the situation and can't think well, because it's so easy for him to gamble when he's already experiencing sadness. in his life.
It is true that everyone has their own character, there are those who take advantage of their loneliness by doing useful activities and there are also those who do activities that are unnatural and should not be done, and this goes back to a person's personality, whether they want to choose good things or things that bad. If someone who is lonely takes it out on gambling, instead of lightening the burden of sadness in their life, it will actually add new problems to their life in the future.
