Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

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 Cheesy

.

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.

Life's problems can lead you to be an addict some go into drugs, drinking and gambling, but gambling to escape life's problems is doubling ones complications. You don't gamble right on a depression level.

It will make the problem more complicated, it will just goes on and on and that's how people will become if they can't handle themselves everytime they have a problem, these people are coward in real life as they can't face their problem, instead they diverse it by doing other things that is not a solution to it.

More and more, our liver is getting damaged. In comparison to gambling, we are getting addicted, we might sell our stuffs, and we might broke relationships with our love ones.

A lot of bad stuff could possibly happen to us, mentally, emotionally, and physically, we will struggle and we will not live a healthy life until someone could help us and we are willing to get that help, weak people do really need the support of other people in times he will experience some problem and good if that is a family.

Actually, I don't think gambling is the solution to escape the reality of life. If you are depressed or you have problem with your family and friend, then you must need peace of mind. At such a bad time it's better to take a break and walk around a natural place alone. I think gambling will not able to save you from such kind of problems. you can gamble to spend your leisure time, but if you gamble to avoid family problems or mental depression then I would say it is just nonsense, gambling will give you more mental pressure if you unfortunately lose your money. So, it is better not to gamble when you are under stress.

In Code We Trust

This is a disaster if we continue to believe that gambling can turn our sadness into happiness, where the opposite might happen which is to make us desperate and depress if we have to much losses in the game we are playing. Gambling as a way to escape our problem is quite okay, if we are just watching but not actually participating with our funds. If we have problems in our life, deal with it first because it is somehow the same like drinking alcohol for the sake of finding happiness. More and more, our liver is getting damaged. In comparison to gambling, we are getting addicted, we might sell our stuffs, and we might broke relationships with our love ones.

For gambling it is advisable to do it with caution and if you think that with it you can avoid problems. You are in a big mistake, gambling is very addictive. Problems are solved at home, looking for solutions with the family and going to a specialist if you need help.

Do you gamble to escape your problem?

From what I know this only applies IRL, especially on Government Officials or Famous Celebrities, though their are also some people among the slums.
But in majority of the average living people, I don't think they're capable of playing gambling games if they're on trouble or problems upfront. They'll just surely pick the side in which they can solve their life difficulties, besides I think most of us thinks the same way, that gambling, just to escape from reality isn't a good option to take.

In my case, I just play to kill time whenever I'm so bored or whether I'm aiming for luck.

I play gambling not to escape from problems, but rather to be entertained from work routines. Or for me gambling as stress relievers,
so I set aside 10% of the monthly income I get for playing gambling capital. Therefore I will not add gambling become problems for
my life.

No and I don't see doing the same thing every time I feel broke. My main reason? Very simple, that was an expensive way of turning back from the reality Grin

. I would rather go to seashore at night and drink beer fo forget my problems for the meantime.

Well, there is nothing wrong of choosing to forget your problems once in a while. However, a problem remains a problem at the end of the day unless you make solutions. So don't forget to face all of thosethings, seek help from your loved ones too. It will decrease the burden in your heart

Well this is one more individual question, we can't generalize everything about gambling, and most people are trying to do exactly that! Running from one problem to another is not good, but if you are running away from some negativity in your life and watching numbers and making bets calms you down, why not? Nobody force you to gamble with high stakes, you can have a lot of fun with 5-10 dollars, or even less with minimum bets on dices or crash! Of course that losing a lot of money will create additional problem, but why to assume the worst possible scenario! Anyone can start reading sport news and make minimal bets on that sport, just a hobby that will move your thoughts, which is a good thing sometimes! Some gambling games and casual play with reasonable bets relaxes me, with few beers and cigar it's a well spent night!

We shouldn't blame them because it's not even our money. As long as they don't spend too much then I guess there's no problem with it.

The idea of letting someone surfer in their problem just because it isn't ours is a childish mindset. Some of this gamblers are just one step away from over coming their addict as a result of constantly gambling just to avoid their problem.

Probably you were the one who would had helped them achieve that but since you have the mindset of the money been spent isn't your money it becomes difficult to intervene.

It doesn't matter if the current money been spent isn't that much as wasting money gambling starts gradually until it accumulate to the extent you can't control your spending anymore which becomes a big problem.

I'm not sure gambling will solve the problem, instead it will add to the problem. Because gambling is no guarantee of winning that's why I say gambling will add to the problem when experiencing defeat.

Because after all gambling only relies on luck, when you have a problem then you gamble and not in luck that's where you will add to the problem.

That's why many problematic gamblers are in deep debt from someone.
They thought they can escape from reality if they will burrow themselves on this habit.
However, as you said it will just add up to their problem but I guess they know what's coming.
On my part, I just gamble to pass time and if I have extra money, so I'm not at the point of escaping from my problems why I gamble. Wink

Not all would really be aware on what would be the result in the end of the line as long they do play since this had been into their minds in the first place.

Losing money is an another problem and if you do have current some big problem then it would just simply pile up but some people did really make
this just to forget their problem but actually it doesnt really give out any solution but only a temporary stress reliever for some.

We can actually find other activities to enjoy or divert our attention into something if we are really finding for stress relief.

Indeed. Gambling while having a problem will cause less concentration. This leads to possible losses. Moreover, if we can't control ourselves and be emotion during playing the games. I'm not sure we will have a good chance to win at that time, nor enjoying the games. Think twice to escape by gambling, it isn't the way to solve a problem. But it is the way to have another possible problem.

Theres no need to lose anything from gambling, control the size you bet and its all within budget then you are going to be ok and at worst wasting some time which people do all the time watching TV they dont really need to watch. The problem only occurs when you only get a buzz from gambling amounts that you cannot afford to lose and with delusions that somehow the gamble will benefit you when its just a past time and a tiny bit of fun with a pay occasionally.

Gambling to escape the problem? that's not me, I'm a brave guy, I face the problem until I solve it.

Every time I gamble, I ensure that I enjoyed what I'm doing as that is the essence of gambling, this is for entertainment, right?
If one is gambling to escape his problem, I think that's so stupid and most likely, it will only add more burden to the problem as a gambler might lose his control and lose more money.

We have to fully understand that when we are gambling, we are managing the risk because gambling is a high risk activity, so always gamble when you have a clear mind so you can think well.

Same here. I gamble for fun. And if in case I have a problem, I try to resolve it without thinking of any gambling on the side. So far, I think I gambled for entertainment purposes only without the aim of really earning money. I prefer that way so I can enjoy the game and not be too worried when playing.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no but it also depends on the situation. Actually currently I am playing poker online and some things that may entertain me in order to escape my sadness today due to boredom because of the current situation of our country because of the lockdown due to the coronavirus, but because of this sometimes I become more sad if I am losing money so I can't deny the fact that there are times that gamble may escape you from problem and may put you into huge problem.

If we're sad on what we did then it's a matter of acceptance in consequence of our actions. Having gambling as an excuse of our problems won't justify the means of everything, because you're solving a problem with another possible worst problems that isn't effective remedy. Much better if we just think of another possible ways to eliminate that, and don't use gambling as passive solution to solve it. Gambling was only for fun and not a serious diversions to get rid of any circumstances you have.

Thats right, Playing gambling can possibly create more problems especially if you have a financial crisis. It's like you are creating a hole in a hole you are into which will make your escape more complicated.

Do you realize that we do unnecessary things when we have problems, sadness and when we are in an unwanted situation? There are people who do drink, smoke and sometimes do drugs when they have problems to temporarily escape the real situation that they are facing, It's the same way of playing gambling on the middle of a big problem.

Yep, gambling when have a problem like this will only make players lose a lot of money. for example he is playing poker, besides there are luck factors, poker requires a strategy to come into play or not when getting a card. When he has a problem, and is carried away with emotion, the more he loses the more motivated to continue playing, while he has lost his mind to think of the playing strategy. This will make the player do everything he can to play, including doing stupid things by making whatever he has as a bet. It is true that playing when there is a problem is not good and you should avoid it.
