Topic: Do you gamble to escape your problem? - page 5. (Read 1262 times)
I gamble sometimes just to experience the rush
In terms of finding a place to calm down, IMO, a casino isn't the best place because casinos are too loud, and it induces pressure for you. I can say, even if you aren't the one that is playing, you will feel pressure if a person bet a huge amount of money in a particular game.
For sure people they will like this, casino is loud but this is a place where you can enjoy, have some drink while you are gambling.
Even myself, when I have a problem, I don't want to go to quite places as I would just think my problem on and on, if I like to forget for awhile, I'll choose to go some place where I can divert my attention and that is a casino or going to the bar drinking with my friends.
I'm not sure that some people gamble because of problems at home, at work, or with friends. Many people gamble in order to solve problems with lack of money. And they lose even more money and that's when they start to have all the above problems.
Play gambling games only for the purpose of having fun and having a good time. And you won't have any problems.
We can't tell and maybe there really are people who gamble to escape problems. Play gambling games only for the purpose of having fun and having a good time. And you won't have any problems.
They see gambling as their escape gate to reality. We have different crazy ideas and hobbies which helps us think better or temporarily escape problems.
Of course, there are exceptions to any rule. There may be different situations in our life. However, the situations I mentioned are much more common. People go to casinos first of all with problems in earning money.
As you say, there might be different situations and we don't know what others are going through but you are right that mostly gamble for money.
I sometimes play and I find it very risky doing this, it will catch up with you and you will find yourself in trouble and besides it's no use playing with a problem because it will not solve it, it's like drinking to forget the problem but the problem will still exist after the effects of the alcohol.
Exactly and even if one player wins then also the problem from which he was trying to escape would persist and hence the player will gamble again to escape from the problem and he will lose whatever he has won and so it's a lose-lose way of dealing with depression and stuffs. It's also a loss of time. So I think gambling should be done only when it's for entertainment purpose or to chill and pass the time.
this is true the majority of offline casino gambling players are those who escape from their daily lives (I don't know whether this kind of case happens at online casinos).. when the expectations about work, household or other are not in line with their expectations, then they will find a place to calm down but they are not aware that it is only temporary..
Imagine, if you don't have a huge fund to start within gambling, would you rather consider spending your few bucks to test your luck? No, what you should do is to make sure you have enough for yourself especially for your necessity and needs. And I think the only people that escape sadness and their daily lives are those that are really financially rich but haven't had any family members for them to spend their time with. Thus, finding happiness in a physical casino and making friends with other gamblers.

I (personally) do not gamble because of escape from problems.. I enjoy every game without pressure because those who gamble due to their problems (escape from problems) will only spend their money and not produce anything, their souls and minds are not focused..

There are indeed ways on earning money but we know that gambling do really had the biggest percentage when it comes to huge wins that can really make you earn lots but if you are lucky on that particular time.
We know the risk accompanied with it thats why its never been suggested nor worth for someone to have this kind of aim because it will just surely break out its expectation and we know on how reality works on gambling field.
Escaping problem by means of doing gambling is not really that ideal because it will really just add up the stress and pressure when you do play and continuously losing money.

There is always an opportunity to earn a lot of money in gambling. But who calculated the chance of a big win?
During the evening in any casino, you can see several dozen people who leave without money. And how many people have you seen who have won big money?
It's like capitalism makes it possible for everyone to be millionaires. But people who live on a few hundred dollars a month around the world are hundreds of thousands more than people who have a million.
There is some person who gambles because of their problems from their friends, love ones, family and career, and one of their ways to escape those problems is to gamble.
I'm not sure that some people gamble because of problems at home, at work, or with friends. Many people gamble in order to solve problems with lack of money. And they lose even more money and that's when they start to have all the above problems.

You understand that. I understand that, too. Many other visitors to this forum also know this.
But unfortunately there are people who do not find anything better than big risks in earning money. We can only wish them to find another way to make money.

People do what they enjoy the most to escape problems. I guess it's part of human nature. We do things that set our mind away from the problem. However, gambling might even cause more problems, just imagine if you lose money because of such an excuse. Some people would drink, travel, watch movie, gamble and etc. It all depends on our coping mechanism.
There are times where you need to plug yourself off from everything and when such moment arrives people fall into few different categories.They either get real drunk to forget their problems, go with whores or they gamble.I am one from the last category as gambling makes me forget all the problems I have while I am gambling.Most of the people though fall into the first category.
I fall under the category of drinking hard and having some company when you are stressed out rather than gambling. It is hard to control your emotions when you are gambling and when you are stressed or depressed it might take you to a deep hole financially and with that in mind but i have been to casino with friends during stressful times just to have fun and not with the intention to gamble.

I think gambling is good but addiction is not good It causes us more problems Therefore, it is better to play gambling as a means of entertainment to avoid problems. Addiction to it can be a source of emotional relief, but it can also lead to more problems. Therefore to avoid problems it is better to skip gambling and take another game.
People should understand the problems with gambling, they should consider gambling as a tool for entertainment, not for moneymaking machine. Most of the people who are gambling are losing their money through gambling, gambling will create lots of problems because addiction makes people are losing lots of money in gambling.
Gambling can't help you much because you will not be able to recover your financial problems from gambling. In most of the case, your financial problem will increase if you play excessive problem. People give examples of those who won big amounts from gambling but they forget there are more people who have ruin their life's because of gambling.
It's hard to gamble in my case when I have problem, I prefer to take a break and just cool things down before I gamble again, I always lose when I am gambling with problems running in my mind, but it's a case to case basis, some people can and some people even forget their problems when they are playing, I can't do that I cannot concentrate.
This is a good advise for all people who have a problem. Don't run in another problem, take a break, think about it,
and do what you think it's best for you. Running from one problem into another will just make a huge problem, and
that will explode somehow, I wouldn't like to be near that person!
I think control is the key, take control over situation, solve the problem and relax after that with some game.

Well, we can't blame them. If the gamblers see gambling as their way to escape to the problem they are facing then so be it. We are not in the right place to criticize them though 
.
In my part, I'm not gambling too much but when I have a problem that is facing I don't do gambling as a way to escape from it. What I do is I'm playing online games as I will be more comfortable when I'm playing games than gambling. After playing then I will think of a solution to the problem as I know that playing itself will not solve the problem. I know different people have different approaches on how they escape to their problems.
While people can do whatever they want with their lives someone that uses gambling as a way to escape their problems is only going to bring misery to himself and to those that are close to him, it is better that when a person notices that kind of behaviour that he seeks professional help immediately, I know that many do not do this because they are ashamed of themselves but they do not have to be since in the wrong circumstances many people will develop problems similar to that. .In my part, I'm not gambling too much but when I have a problem that is facing I don't do gambling as a way to escape from it.

Sometimes I do, but it's not helping me at all, and if I lose a huge amount of money after gambling with the problem, I have another problem coming out, so it's better not to gamble when you have issues or problem and just do other things like watching a movie or play your favorite games or chat with a friend but never gamble when you have problems.
Gambling on smart phone that uses in-game money might help you to avoid spending real money. I think this is a good suggestion, this is what I do too. Well, maybe there are those addicts who are really addicted to the thrill of using real money but for those who are aware that the symptoms they felt can still be stop by themselves, I think this will work. Try playing other mobile games that doesn't really makes you spend money but still has tokens in it. I play a lot of 8 ball pool last year. Didn't spend money or bought anything with my own money but it felt like I really own the money I just bet. There are other games that makes you feel the thrill too. Try playing it with friends.
