They know that gambling is not an escape from the reality or because of doing many things daily. By doing other things, he can reduce his gambling activities because he know that can risk his finances. Playing gambling is only for entertain ourselves after doing many activities but we can choose not to playing gambling because we can risk our money and losing it. They will not pursue the winning because they already think that winning in gambling is not easy. So they will only playing gambling occasionally with limits money to prevents the losses becomes bigger

If gambling is considered an escape, then a person's life will be much worse and they will never be able to get out of the problems they face. Why some people gamble can be much more responsible because they bet only when their heart condition is more pleasant and prepare enough money to enjoy gambling. The reasons for getting involved in gambling may have different versions, but in my opinion gambling can be much more responsible when people have full control in spending money.

It will be difficult for people to stop or not get involved in gambling if they do not have the ability to control themselves. Each individual has their own responsibility for gambling problems and if they are unable to control themselves, then others will not be able to stop the gambling activities they are doing.

Regardless of the escape issue I think you should immediately change your mindset and approach to gambling in the sense that you should change the purpose of gambling from winning to seeking entertainment, because no matter what if your goal is still to seek victory then you will never be okay when gambling especially when you experience defeat which of course the situation will cause pressure on you.

On the other hand, as we know that gambling is always recommended to be used as entertainment and there are always some people who use gambling for that purpose, meaning that gambling can indeed be used as an escape when you are experiencing stress, I understand that everyone doesn't like to lose money but isn't it true that by only betting a small amount everything will still be okay? Of course, it means that people who use gambling as an escape are those who are ready for the risk of losing and come only to seek entertainment from the sensation they will feel during the session regardless of the outcome.

I know gambling can be entertaining to people but the truth is that one of the reason why people gamble is to win, and the end result of every gambler expect to win at the end of every game.

The mentality of winning in every gambler can't be taking away if we should be honest to ourselves, the only difference is just that even for those that are interested in gambling win they still play for fun because they are not very desperate to win gamble as to depend in it, they have the understanding that gambling is unpredictable and anything can happen. When their is a better understanding about gambling, one is playing with the amount that he can afford to lose, this is when say we say gamblers are playing just to get entertained even if they wish to win the game.

Yes I understand that and I think it is a fairly natural mentality in gambling because no matter what and whenever we will always like money, but this way my friend I think we already know about how dangerous it is if we bring the goal of winning, I am also not a hypocrite in this matter, I like winning but what I mean is don't let winning be your main priority in gambling, or what I mean when I win then of course it will be very fun but when I lose then it doesn't matter to me and I only take the entertainment part of the sensation that I have gotten when I play.

You have mentioned the correct approach scenario to gambling which is to only bet the amount that we can afford to lose and that is the concept of gambling for entertainment which of course when your bet amount is small then when you lose it won't be a problem, but when we talk about gambling to make money then surely all the actions taken tend to always be excessive such as in terms of placing the amount of bets or in terms of time and hope for victory and that is what makes a gambler emotional.

Yes, by doing other positive activities, a gambler can reduce his gambling activities so that over time he will be entertained by his new activities.
It is true that gambling should be used as a place to entertain oneself rather than to find additional income because if the gambler continues to pursue victory and assumes that gambling can make money, then such a perception is a mistake and he will definitely regret it later because of the excessive actions he has done before.

They know that gambling is not an escape from the reality or because of doing many things daily.

So they will only playing gambling occasionally with limits money to prevents the losses becomes bigger.

Yes, that's only when or only if they know about the dangers of gambling, but what if they don't know about the potential dangers that lurk? Of course, so I don't think we can just conclude that everyone knows or is aware of the dangers of gambling because we can see that there are always people who treat gambling excessively or make gambling an escape without being based on any understanding of what and how gambling really is. In the end, all actions that lead to prevention will most likely only be able to be done when a gambler understands and is aware of the dangers of gambling when treated in the wrong way.

Personally, I gamble to win, which is why losing causes me stress. However, I try my best not to let it affect me.

You're not alone, everyone who gambles want to win and that's the reason why they gamble even if they lose money. They believe that after many losses they will get a jackpot and with that mindset they'll continue losing money.

It's also true that losses in gambling cause stress and winning causes happiness. If someone wins most of the time then that person never get stressed but if someone losses all the time then that person face huge stress levels.

The ridiculous thing I've ever found from my friends is that they consider losing their money in gambling as saving, so the more money they lose, the bigger the win they will get later, this doesn't make sense but this happened to my friend who was already addicted to gambling, and why did he think like this, I think it's because of his wrong mindset in responding to gambling, like thinking there must be a win that happens after a series of losses that occur. Whether or not you are stressed when you lose depends on your mindset, if someone gambles for entertainment purposes then I don't think they will feel stressed because their goal is for entertainment, not to make money, but those who are stressed when they lose are people who have the goal of gambling to make a profit or win, with this of course they don't want to lose money but losing money is something that is certain to happen.

That is why I always advise playing in a casino only to those who have a lot of stress in their lives. And only in moderation, and not to sit for hours in an online casino. But for people who suffer from idleness, I do not advise betting or gambling at all, because free time should be devoted to self-development or sports. Such activities bring stable results, and there will be no disappointment, which is often found in gambling, when someone loses, spending both time and money.

Quote from: kotajikikox on November 08, 2024, 01:22:44 AM

We all associate gambling with fun, excitement, and enjoyment

There is a reason why casinos are brightly lit and has fast paced music. The overall idea of gambling should be energetic and exhilarating. Well, in my country, you might find gambling in a less thrilling environment such as a funeral.

Yes, it is very common in my country that whenever there is a funeral there will be people playing cards and gambling against each other.

I don’t know if this is common in other countries but I never really thought twice of the fact that gambling, which is usually associated with time for pleasure, can be found in a place that is so grievous.

Hmmm, seems people have converted burials which should be time for grieving to fun, that's insensitive of them to convert it to a group action. I am familiar with burial guests gambling online with their gadgets when they feel bored, but organizing groups in the burial environment for the sole purpose of gambling is the height of negligence of the situation.

Quote

I researched just now and found that some gamblers do in fact use gambling as a form of escape from their real life. Which is why you might find a lot of people just recently went through a divorce or death of a loved one gambling. I guess this is why there are always people gambling in funerals. Obviously over time I think it just became more of a tradition rather than an actual act of escape from mourning.

Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea to use gambling as a coping mechanism especially that your emotions will be the one driving your decisions and that almost never end well. It’s fine sometimes but I find that dealing with your emotions especially negative ones can be much helpful than turning into potentially harmful vices.

But What about you? Do you also use gambling to escape from stress of the real world?

Gambling as a compensation for pain is as ineffective as using painkillers for an untreated severe injury. No matter the amount of painkillers you use, the situation would always get worse unless you go for proper medications, Gambling can make you forget about it temporarily, but the feelings always returns. the only way to get through those hurt feelings is to deal with them and get over them, sometimes therapy could help.

Gambling as sort of relief from pain is a pathway to more pain from addiction, and other misconducts. In the end you might have more pain to deal with than what you already have momentarily.

Personally, I gamble to win, which is why losing causes me stress. However, I try my best not to let it affect me. I don’t believe people gamble to escape stress, as losing money is inherently stressful. Some individuals might be adept at hiding their true feelings after a loss, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel anything.

Changing our mindset is easier said than done, but I agree that lowering our capital can also lower our frustration when we lose. I’ve tried to view gambling as entertainment, but when you win a big amount, greed sets in. You come back to gamble more, hoping to win even more, but often end up losing more money than you won, that's when the stress comes in.

Because in the first place, gambling is never the real solution for anything—whether it’s money, stress, problems, or anything else. And you’re absolutely right: it only adds to our troubles. That is why it is important to think carefully about our real reasons for gambling, or else we’re just creating more issues without any real solutions. Even if we say it is just for fun, deep inside, we’re hoping to make money. But the hard truth is, there’s no guarantee in gambling. That’s why it’s crucial to understand this fully and keep it in mind, so we’re not regretting if we lose money in the end.

True my friend, I agree with you about gambling is not a real solution to fix problems that occur financially stressed or others, now people who are healthy can be stressed because of the gambling they do and it is none other than because they have high hopes for gambling such as they are in an unstable financial situation and have thoughts about being able to make money by gambling, of course this indirectly makes their feelings high hopes for gambling so when they lose they tend not to be able to accept it. In addition, indeed with no clear certainty that victory will be easy to get in gambling, many people still think and insist that they can get victory easily, unfortunately this thinking leads them to cause behavior that is actually not recommended because it tends to endanger themselves. Gambling that is done healthily can also be harmful, especially as an escape from frustration.

Fund or no fun, nobody would decline the idea of having some extra cash, everyone wants to make money on gambling while they gamble, but the deal is never to prioritize winning over every other thing, sometimes even when your sole aim for gambling is to make money, you still gotta take a break sometimes and focus more on gaining certain experiences that may give you some advantage in your subsequent games. Because if is when we prioritize winning over every other thing that we tend to encounter more problems in gambling, like loss and win chasing, overspending of resources in gambling, which of course has a very high risk of sending us to addiction.

But when prioritize other things as well, we tend to have a little more focus and self control, and then we’d have that consciousness that gambling can not indeed solve any problems we are in, and then possibly help us set more realistic targets and expectations on gambling.

I am sure, gambling as an escape does not make you eliminate problems, but will only add problems for yourself. Moreover, if you experience consecutive defeats then it will make your stress worse because you continue to get pressure that will basically torture your own life. Thus, it would be better to gamble only with a good mood, or just to fill your free time, because at least gambling is a game with full risk so it requires a good atmosphere and focus when doing it. But maybe, I also don't know about other people out there, maybe they will be able to enjoy gambling in a different way. But at least, as long as you can do it comfortably, then maybe it won't be a problem for your daily life.

Honestly, some times I do use gambling as a way to escape from my stress of my activities in real life but of course I do it responsibly which means once I feel that it is enough then I'll stop.
Although I think that gambling to escape from stress is not that good because it may lead us into something worse due to unstable emotion but as long as we can control ourselves, it is fine.
The key is self control, if you feel that you you have low level of self control, better to skip gambling as a way to escape from your stress.
So better to find some other better stress reliever activities do deal with your stress such as doing sports, hanging out with friends/families or others as what you like.

This is very correct advice and I agree that communication with friends or relatives is all the years the best anti-stress that a person can have. And no gambling, even with a large deposit, can compare in the healing power of communication. But unfortunately there are a lot of gamblers who are lonely, and they do not have the opportunity to communicate with their relatives, and I hope that there are few of them among us. These are the guys who are the easiest target for the casino.

It's not a tradition, they are just taking the advantage of the funeral scenario, because they can't be arrested by their illegal gambling activity as respect to the grieving family.

Maybe it is an escape for some people, but for the majority of gamblers, I believe it was just for pastime until it became an addiction. Others do play gambling to become the black sheep of the family, to gain attention from their families. We have our own reasons why we play gambling, but I would call it as an "escape".

There is no such tradition and probably almost all funerals are not ideal places to gamble and they just use the funeral as a place to gamble which may be safer. Every gambler must have references regarding involvement in it and almost all who are addicted consider this normal. So before all that happens, we must have control so as not to get involved in it irresponsibly.

Regarding gambling at funerals, maybe only some people take advantage of the place and for me it is quite terrible because they should have looked for a much better place to gamble.

Bare in mind that not all of those gamblers would really be that part of the family or relatives of someone whose really that dead. Usually the people who are really that playing with those card games or even mahjong are those people who might be that their neighboors or other people who do attend on the wake just to have those kind of engagement and of course on the moment that they could make money too.
Yes, its really that indeed a weird way but just like on what been said that majority does really talks about that this is really that part of the cultural aspect of a certain country on which there's nothing we can do
if they will really be having that kind of approach whenever there's someone is dead and doing something on the wake. Doesnt talks about escape into something about stress and sadness or sorrow into its
family members on which i have said that not all would really be that playing with this or in the time of this one happens. So be it and just let them be on the things that they would really be that gonna tending to do.
As long there would be no to trouble or any issues then it will really be that just simply fine.

Different culture will happen in many countries so we may thinks that is weird but in other people country, that is normal to see people doing that. Many reasons that we don't know about that thing because we don't live in that country. If other people have the same thing like that, they will do the same because that is their culture that can not erase or leave it. Maybe when they gambling with other people can erase their sadness or use gambling as an escape from the stress or sadness. Maybe if we visit on that country, we can see what and how they do that while they are in the funerals. Yes, we can let them be on the things they usually do without takes too much thinks.
