When we think of it as entertainment similar to a movie or something, we'll start spending occasionally, and we'll spend the money that is kept aside for time passes or fun and not the one that is essential for our daily lives. This is where the problem arises, and at some point, when the caretaker isn't able to manage the financial situation of the family automatically, there will be problems in the family.
As long as the money you will be spending is just a few extra bucks then I don’t think it’s such a problem to think of it as entertainment. Taking it seriously might even be worse because you would genuinely try to chase losses because the money you used is a serious amount. If we think that we can actually make serious money with gambling, we’d give everything we have if it meant having a bigger payout.

People never find gambling a source of entertainment. This is the reason why gambling is more addictive as well as more problematic. This applies to me as well, because we just believe it as a way of making money as well as multiplying the money we have in a simple way. Maybe this could've worked for a few gamblers, and for the same, we shouldn't have the hope.

It's only a person that is not serious will gamble from Monday to Sunday. If not for Eufa matches that are fixed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'm not sure there are any important matches for one can predict to say that you are really betting games on week days, only on weekends you can bet on good games and also enjoy the matches along. Even if you are not used to betting, you can't enjoy casino games during the weekdays when you have work to do.
I don’t tend to agree with this apparently, There would always be philosophical differences in this kind of stands to some ways to life of people.
You would understand that some individuals do take gambling for a career or means to livelihood (profession). Now how do you expect these sort of persons to go through life without having to gamble as frequent as it requires of them.
I don’t support having to gamble everyday, no, not at all. I’m just saying, it doesn’t necessarily means one is unserious should they happen to do so. Most especially, when they are profitable at it, it just makes sense to play.
I’ve seen people on this forum, have to argue about, frequent plays increasing success rate in gambling.
Using the casino every day is already a stress on its own based on my own experience. I also prefer to gamble within the weekend when I have freedom from work and other activities, but sometimes I just gamble based on the mood I'm in at that moment, but I have never gambled every day straight up in a week; some weeks even during the weekend I don't gamble at all.

Excessive gambling isn't good for ones health, you don't have to bet everyday to win big. If you have high staking power or can even wager reasonable amount of money, you can still make good amounts of money also the fun or even use it to kill time if you don't have anything you want to do for the weekend. Sometimes, you should also take some rest, as a gambler if you don't bet you wouldn't die and your money wouldn't reduce.

Gambling shouldn't be a burden for anyone. Gambling is for fun, it is not a place for a serious matter. If it makes you stress, there is something wrong with your gambling habit. Sure, it is not need to gamble every single day, it may not be an effective way in gambling. If you have spare time in weekend, kindly gamble at that time. To have fun in gambling and to play it optimally, you need to play it without any pressure. I also the same as you, I prefer to gamble when I have spare time at weekend. However, I don't always gamble on weekends. I sometimes don't gamble when I have a plan to hang out with family, go for a walk, or do other important things.Some even go as far as taking gambling to be a means of making end need and a source of income, some even go as far as taking a loan from bank just to gamble with, and thinking they will make a good profits at the end of the day, but opposite is the results in most cases and if all things being equal the end up in debts at the end of the day because gambling winnings depends on luck and the house is always at advantage.

It is not like that in our country, there are different traditions. I will be honest, yes, there are times when I gamble when I am bored and I go there to get away from my troubles and end up getting even more I'm worried literally.
So, it's better if you just don't gamble at all whenever you're bored. I think it's human instinct whenever we don't do anything, we try to look for something.And when we have found something to do like to gamble, that's when the worry and trouble comes.
Well, that happens when we do things that we're looking for when we're bored but then, you've killed the boredom but it has some counter parts.
You are certainly right and I do not recommend using a casino every day to relieve stress, as well as poker and of course betting. All these activities, when used so often, often cause addiction, and therefore I recommend playing on weekends, or even better, every two weeks. To relieve a small level of stress. If a person is incredibly tense every day after work, then only a change of job will help him.

Thank you for telling us about the culture in your area. It seems like people gambling or playing cards during funerals is an escape from negativity or sadness, you have summarized it well. It is not like that in our country, there are different traditions. I will be honest, yes, there are times when I gamble when I am bored and I go there to get away from my troubles and end up getting even more I'm worried literally.
Well, sometimes I don't deny that I sometimes use gambling to temporarily forget about the problems I'm facing, because it gives me peace of mind so that I can somehow think properly.
I feel relieved when I do this even once in a while when the problem or problem I'm going through is quite heavy.
And I don't see anything wrong with that, even though I lose when I play gambling during the time that I have a problem that I am facing. That's fine with me, it is because the most
important is I can think properly and think the solution wisely.

Perhaps it is because when we play those casino games and we pay attention to sport betting, nothing besides what we are currently doing and the money we have wagered cannot get our attention. Though, I must say it is quite impressive to me you can continue feeling relaxed and have a good time, even if you are suffering from a bad luck streak. In general I also get distracted from all the problems of the daily life, but I start to lose my cool when I accumulate losses in my session and I feel the urge to chase them, as soon as I lose my cool and feel I need to chase those losses I log out my account and move onto other things to spend my leisure time in. Ironically, those little bad experiences have helped me to grow further in bankroll management and realize there are certain casinos games I feel more comfortable with than others.

The point is to be a responsible gambler you can only do it when you do not make winning your main priority and also only when you understand and know about what and how gambling really is, or maybe I can also say that the ease of controlling yourself and making yourself a responsible gambler also depends on what and how your purpose of gambling is.
Yes, making gambling an escape will most likely only have a bad impact, because usually an escape is an action with the intention and scenario to vent annoyance due to something else and if the place you choose is gambling then of course it will be very risky.
Making it as escape? How is it not an escape already?

Escapism is basically anything fun, so if gambling isn't form of escape, what is it and what it should be? What's the "purpose" you are talking about?
Because i would recommend that no one should consider it as earning a living, as that would be one of the most irresponsible ways to do earn it.
Imho gambling is escapism and should be only escapism, because there's nothing wrong with that. It's like netflix, you don't binge watch that either, because you want to experience the reality, fill taxes, or talk with someone. You do it because you want to take a break from reality and fun. It's an escape.

Yes, that way we can anticipate not to get addicted to gambling because not all gamblers can behave well when they have entered the world of gambling, when you can make an agenda when it's time to gamble and how big or small to bet on the platform, then that's very good for you.
It would be nice to gamble when we are feeling bored with what activities we should do to entertain ourselves quickly and easily, one of which is gambling and this activity can also be an event to have fun, not to make extra money because that is a big mistake.

That is why I always advise playing in a casino only to those who have a lot of stress in their lives.
Yes, in essence, using a casino in everyday life must be controlled properly even in good or bad conditions, self-control is still needed when playing a casino. It has been proven that if someone does not apply self-control when playing a casino, there will only be losses that he will get when there are no limits in time and financial management when betting or playing a casino wisely.

In fact, if there are problems, it is better to find a solution to them, rather than look for a way to avoid them. After gambling, these problems will not go away and you will again need to look for a way to distract yourself from them, and gambling in a state where you can be distracted by other problems is also not the best solution, being distracted by gambling does not mean completely forgetting about the problems.
I think every person who has any problem must think of a way out or a solution, it is impossible for him to avoid the problem he is facing. Indeed, gambling as an escape is not good for them, this is only temporary from the pressures they face in their lives and new problems will arise for them if they experience defeat while playing. It would be better for us to continue to improve or upgrade ourselves to develop new skills that are lacking in us. It is possible that we can overcome problems even though success takes time rather than looking for an escape that is not good. Use the best time for positive things so that we don't regret it laterOn the other hand, it is quite difficult to maintain a rational mindset when we are in a situation full of pressure due to the problems we are experiencing, meaning that choosing gambling as an escape is very possible to do without realizing the bad impacts that can be caused, and in that situation I think the only one who can help them is someone else who happens to be around them in that situation to keep them from making the wrong choice of place to escape.
Yes, that is right because they will not have a chance to stay away from gambling even for a while. They will just closer more and more without thinks about how they can reduce their gambling activity. But if they realizes that they need to responsible to themselves when playing gambling, they will not have a problem and even they can enjoy their time by playing gambling and stops playing gambling if they think it is enough to stops.
Gambling as an escape can makes them deeper in gambling and also getting addicted to gambling. So that is why we must reduce our gambling activity and not playing gambling excessively and too often to prevents the problems. We can only keep trying to control ourselves while we can learn more about how to use gambling properly.
To gamble more responsibly, a person must have control over the desire to make money regularly because there is indeed no opportunity to make money in that way in gambling. When the desire to gamble, to be more controlled, allocate sufficient funds and stop when the money runs out, so that gambling activities will not have a bad effect on them. I make some considerations when gambling and usually allocate sufficient funds from the percentage of income at work that I get so that it does not affect the fulfillment of other needs for my family or myself.Gambling as an escape can makes them deeper in gambling and also getting addicted to gambling.

Gambling as an escape will not provide a solution that actually adds new problems when we experience defeat and will eventually deal with loans to cover the money spent on gambling.

When gambling is used as an escape it only causes more harm, sometimes people need something to forget about the worries and challenges of life, there are other things you can get involved in but using gambling as a coping mechanism would put you in a precarious situation. This is very different from those playing to make Profit or trying to entertain themselves but it's a dependency issue tied to your emotional and mental state. This could cause a serious addiction problem that might probably make life worse for you. Gambling shouldn't be used as an escape from life's problems or challenges.
Honestly I don't see how gambling can be use as an escape from life problem or challenges maybe it is only when a gambler wins a huge amount of money through gambling that he will have a bit relief which he may use to the problem at hand apart from a gambler winning there is no way a gambler will use to escape from life challenges instead it will cause more life challenges.There are other things that can be done to forget about life worries and challenges.
1 by trying to keep one self busy maybe by involving your self doing business, association with friends and have some fun.
Am a gambler, gambling with add more pains when we keep on losing money instead of winning through gambling.
