Topic: Gambling as an escape - page 4. (Read 4114 times)

I just found out that there is such a thing, if it happens as you say of course it is not a problem although in general if someone dies it will definitely be a very sad moment especially for the family who comes to the funeral, they must be in a very sick state because this is the moment to let go of the family who died forever, but this is not a problem if you have received direct permission from the family especially if you can help by giving a relatively large amount of money.

Although it's rare nowadays, i'm sure there are many people in the past who allowed gambling at their family funerals because it would really help the economy of the family left behind.

People will always have a way of abusing something that’s been a good tradition, especially when they have something to gain or benefit from it. I’ve heard of this same thing somewhere and i personally think it’s quite a great initiative and a also a great way of offering condolences to the bereaved families, but it’s such a shame that people are now abusing it and using it for their own selfish interests, they forget why the activity was first introduced in the first place and are now after what they stand to gain, it’s such a shame.

In my country, some gamblers make use of the funeral as business. They set up table games and give some commission to the bereaved family. For a poor family, this seems to be a huge help, and so they allow it. 

We might say this is an old tradition because ancient people did this as their normal activities. Unfortunately, what happens now is quite different and not looking good anymore, as people just gather not to give sympathy to the family but just to gamble. 

If we can realize as what you said, I am sure that many people will not use gambling as an escape because they will think that they will lose more money. Many people chase their losses in gambling so that will be our reason to stay away from the big lose and not tempting from the offers from the casino easily. We should know that when we are stress, we must not doing something that can makes us sadly but we must search for the activities that can makes us becomes happy and can move on from the bad things. They must know that using gambling for escape will difficult to win and when they lose, that will just gives more disappointed to them.

Therefore, we should always consider the actions or decisions we will take, and make sure we are ready for the possible results that are disappointing, do not let the results that tend to be disappointing make us want to chase or recover losses because it tends to only make us addicted. Gambling itself can indeed make us addicted, even though those who gamble with the aim of having fun are sometimes tempted to play gambling longer.
Good advice, when we are stressed, it is better for us to find activities that we like with the aim of making us calmer, for example by finding a comfortable place for reflection or others, but with those who take the option of gambling for escape I think it will not be completely successful and will not go well completely.

True. But it will be difficult for those who already started using gambling as a means to escape their problems. They rely on it to help them relieve their stress but the truth is that it only adds more stress mentally because losing is not a fun thing to happen to anyone and the fact remains that we are going to keep on losing on gambling.
There are other ways to keep ourselves busy and one example is good, computer games. That can relieve some stress especially if you do love what you are playing. I always end up in console games and I really love playing RPG games which are truly remarkable with storylines and battle systems, up until now that's one of the ways for me to consume time if I get bored anytime in a day.

That is true because we can lose our self control in gambling anytime so that is why we must be careful when playing gambling. We can not let ourselves gets deeper in gambling after we use gambling as an escape from the reality because that will makes us forget what we need to do. Gambling tempting people to stay for a long time by playing more gambling games so we will ignore the risk inside gambling and we lose our money.

If we are stress, we don't have to visit the casino instead just calm down ourselves by relaxing with other activities such as walking in our city or the best thing is just sleep. If we decide to playing gambling while we stress, that will makes us losing our self control and will frustrate if we lose for some money. We need to anticipate that for ourselves so we must know how to stay away from gambling and not use it as an escape.

Escaping from reality and only use gambling to forget what we face will not solve our problem because that can gives more problems than we thinks. When we want to playing gambling, we must make sure that we are in a normal condition and not thinks much about gambling so we can release our stress in busy day and enjoy the games. But we must know that playing gambling needs to have responsibility so we can use gambling to have fun while we have  a spare time.

Exactly, gambling is not a completely bad thing. It's just that many people view gambling as a bad thing because they see more people who go bankrupt because of gambling, so they conclude that gambling is a bad thing and should be avoided, even though gambling is not a bad thing if we do it healthily with self-control, discipline and responsibility. I agree with you if we are not ready to lose money then we should not gamble or bet.
They are very lucky to be able to save themselves from gambling addiction, because someone who is addicted, especially a serious gambling addiction, is not easy to recover from their addiction, for some people who are addicted when they want to recover, many fail to recover and what happens is they return to gambling. For some people it may be reasonable to make gambling an escape but for me it is not.

Gambling isnt really that bad as long you do really know on what you are really that indeed doing on which one this thing is really that good for the sake of entertainment but there were those people who do treat up the different way on which this is really that indeed resulting into disaster if you do have this kind of approach. This is why its really that important that you do really know on how to control up yourself when it comes into this approach. Gamble for you to have such escape into bad situations or any related situation? If you are someone who do have that not wanting on losing up money then its better not to make yourself that dealing up with gambling because it will really be just that worsening up your situation and instead on resolving out that sad or bad situation then it will really be just that making it worst.

Self control will really be that relevant on this case but usually people do really have some main issue when it comes into this aspect. For those who do have that good self control then they are the ones who do able to save up themselves when it comes into possible addiction. So it will be that so important that you should really know on what you are dealing into because if you are that too anticipating that making money with gambling then that will be giving out that kind of bad experiences or issues. Escaping from some bad situations then its not bad to gamble but make it sure that you wont really be that become that too impulsive when it comes into this approach.

the main problem is that betting often becomes compulsive and not because you like doing it
people get caught up in the gambling frenzy, convinced that they can play and win and therefore lose money
even the bonuses they give you serve perfectly to make you play and get into the mood of spending money in order to win them

Yes, we cannot forget what we should do and how we should do it , we are People who Should control our money before playing Even if we are going to enjoy Ourselves and spend some time Escaping or different, we have to have the Responsibility of always, then the thing that we should never forget is responsibility and if we are good and Responsible men and women we know exactly how much money we can lose, there is no excuse, at all times we Should do the right thing and not let our emotions control us, that is why controlling money controls everything.

The desire to get a win to cover the losses that occur can happen whenever they gamble even though they have good self-control, it does not completely close them from being able to gamble well, sometimes disappointing results can affect their own feelings until there is a feeling to gamble regularly and ignore the risk side which is actually the most certain thing to happen.
The right choice and advice when we are in a bad condition such as being stressed, we should not visit the casino because even though we can take pleasure in this, considering the risk is greater and can make us addicted and lose a lot of money and experience other bad effects, after all, prevention is better than cure, right?

Something bad will happen to them if they use gambling as an escape because when they are losing their money in gambling, they will insist to recover their losses by keep playing gambling. They will not care that gambling is just their activity that they can do in their spare time because their minds keep telling them to keep playing gambling. Their mood can impact with the result that they get from gambling so it is too risky if they still use gambling as an escape from their daily activity. If they feels stress, they better to take a rest and not visit the casino and playing gambling because that can affect to their day and makes them lose control.

It is not good if they venting their emotions and mistakes by using gambling because that will makes their mood change to badly and when they lose, that will just a matter a time to see they will lose their money. They will not thinks what is the effect that they can get from gambling but they will still playing gambling because their emotions becomes higher. When emotions change, they will not thinks clear about what they will do and only keep gambling because of their anger. They can not solve their problem if they don't stop all things in gambling because their minds will be closed by their anger and that will be the time for them losing all of their money.

If you're gambling and cannot point to an achievement in particular towards the above listed benefits, then one have to take step towards checking for why, because we are not gambling the right way and that is why we are not also enjoying some of its benefits on us, we had better be taking things more accurate than ever, because in gambling, we are to be having fun although our experience in it and nothing more.

Gambling should just be for the fun of it and if for any reason you decide to see it as something otherwise this, you’ll have yourself to be blamed for the much effect it’ll have in your life. A gambler is known to have risk management instincts and if they’ve failed in that aspect, they’ll easily lose money than they can save for themselves. Gambling as an escape route should never cross the mind of a gambler because it is just a fallacy thing and not in reality what people may think it is. It can be rewarding and give you the money you never imagined when you’re lucky in games you’ve placed a bet on but never should you rely on them for the long time benefits and see it as a pathway out of poverty and achieving your future goals through it.

Some people have seen gambling as an escape from poverty but in reality, not everyone will have this kind of success to actually making it through gambling. Some are still struggling with making profit maybe because of insufficient experience or the kind of bets they are always betting. Not everybody that see gambling as an escape from poverty will actually make it which is why we don't have to look at other people's results and hope to have similar one. Everyone has different input rate so we should not expect to see similar results. Those that have the funds and are disciplined will always make good profits from gambling, but the greedy ones will always complain of having lower success rate as gamblers.

Using gambling as a possible escape from reality and trying to feel better isn't a better way if handling such as you are going to be giving temporary solutions to a permanent problem,  facing the reality of the problem and getting it solved at onec is the only and best way to getting such off your shoulders and seeing that you don't suffer such issues again,  you gamble to escape and sadly end up still coming back to he issues after the moments of gambling.

Exactly, at first I don't see how one can use gambling to escape from anything. If you think you can use gambling to escape some problem you may only endup adding more problem..

There are other activities that can help you deviate your mind from somethings for a while not gambling, you are only encouraging your self to keep doing the wrong thing , by justifying your poor Gambling habit , like I keep saying do it for fun not for the extra buckss you can earn because you can also lose too.

Today's world is full of depression and loneliness and running away to gambling seems like an acceptable solution to this problem, but it is only an illusion and should never be solved this way. Understanding and organizing all this is a primary task. Of course, this is true and it is extremely important to choose this, and not to run ahead of the train and throw all the money that the player has found and borrowed into gambling. In general, rushing and running away from problems will always make things worse. I believe that there is nothing better than sports and traveling to reboot your brain and be extremely resistant to depression.

Now we live in a time when many people can afford to play computer games, drink alcohol and thus escape harsh reality a lot or a little. But the problem is that in any case, we all live in reality and we need to admit it and work on our lives in it. The same applies to gambling.
And the trouble is that problem gambling is a way to spoil your reality as much as possible, which you will have to return to anyway.

Therefore, we need to devote only a little time to gambling and betting, and in no case use them as an escape from problems.
