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.

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, making it as an escape is a dangerous thing. You are risking your money and emotions to such unpredictable gambling outcome. If there's one thing I can call escape, that is going on a vacation to chill and relax your well-being, and not resort into gambling wherein if you lose your money, you will also create another problem wherein this time you can no longer make an escape anymore. Never gamble just because you are tired and exhausted, but gamble at your best so you can attract positive outcomes.

It may be our right to seek an escape, but perhaps it is better not to make gambling an escape because in my opinion when you seek an escape then it is certain that our condition is unstable whether it is mentally, thinking or feeling. Now gambling which I think is actually better done when our condition is stable is better than doing it when we are in an unstable condition because it allows us to lose control of ourselves. It is better to find something else as an escape when we are in an unstable condition, after all there are still many things that can be done besides gambling and maybe the risk is smaller than gambling which can be said to have quite a big risk.

Not all consider that gambling is just for fun but in some circles this kind of thing still exists even though it may not relate and not in line with what we think but there are still some circles who ultimately consider gambling as a means of fun entertainment for them to spend time.

Not a few people with an undoubted amount of wealth always show things like this as for Neymar who did several times do things like this but even so maybe gambling for fun is not too relate to us who are still under the economic class which is still thinking about how the gambling we play can always get profit.

So in the end regardless of whether this will be an agreement or the same thought about gambling we all have our own way of looking at gambling and it could be that what we think for ordinary economic standards or even still very poor will have a different view from those who are already in and living with the golden spoon.

I can enjoy the gambling games as an activity that I can use in my spare time but I don't playing gambling for too long as I need to hold myself from the big lost. Gambling for me is just for have fun and not for the other reason especially making money because I realize that I am difficult to make money from gambling. Rather than spend too much money in gambling, I only use the money I can afford to lose so I don't regret with the amount that I use to gambling. Yes, our task is only have fun in gambling and not to thinks about winning from the gambling games because that is difficult. If you already lose for some amount, you need to get away from gambling before it is too late. When your lose start to bigger, there will be the wanting to recover the loss but that will be the time you will lose more money.

I agree that gambling should not be viewed as a way to make money. But I also disagree that gambling is just for fun. Because in my opinion, most players lose on a regular basis while they gamble. And I just don’t see any grounds for fun here. So the only way to have fun and enjoyment is to win at gambling. And this is extremely difficult to do, it’s just a matter of chance. It turns out that when people say that gambling is fun for them, they are simply ready to lose money in the hope that chance will happen to them, that luck will smile on them.
