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.

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?

What is your country? Maybe there are some specific "politic" situation that can influence this perspection?!

There are different approaches in real life gambling. Both from casinos owner than from players.
I don't think this is something "national" based but is something related to the environment or the marketing itself.
If you enter in some periferic bingo rooms where people could even smoke inside, you know very well that there is a different atmosphere of a glamour casino!

Sorry to ask that but where the f*ck is such a f*cked up country in the world ? Aren't you ashamed of doing such idiotic things like gambling in a funeral, in fact funerals do not last long enough to play a real good cards game as there is the priest or the rabi or the mullah or whatever these people are called that held the rituals in such a fast way that it looks that even people who have chosen to represent God are scared by death, of course who is isn't.

The custom in my area is also like that, if someone dies but already has grandchildren, then people will not be sad anymore for him, but instead they will drink and have fun like playing cards or dominoes to entertain the bereaved family. Because we realize that people who already have grandchildren can be said to be perfect in their lives, and people should not cry for them, instead people should be happy at their funeral. Indeed, for some people this is quite strange, but that's why sometimes gambling can be a consolation for those who are stressed.

You must really enjoy gambling if you can actually fall asleep while gambling! As for me, I avoid gambling at night because if I lose big, I can’t sleep even if I’ve run out of money to gamble. And when I win, I still can’t sleep right away because I’m too excited.
