Sometimes when I don’t have anything to do I gamble to kill my time going to casino gives me the entertainment I want and I get to see some of my friends too. But whenever I have problem or trouble I don’t do gambling because it gives me more headache when I lose. For me gamblinng only brings entertainment to me and money is only bonus if I win.

True, when we had problems and we did gambling, it seems we won't be able to enjoy our game. And it for sure can give us another problem since the chance to lose our money will be bigger because we can't focus on the game. It is better to avoid gambling when we had problems.

I guess it's not just me that way but almost all the gamblers do it. Gambling when bored and to eliminate boredom, and sometimes stop because of boredom as well. Definitely not all gamblers like that, but mostly like that. sometimes stress disappears after gambling.

And sometimes they forget their stress since other things their thinking, may it be the amount they lose or whether they will enjoy their winnings or bet in again on gambling.  Grin Been in such situation before and it really stresses me that time. Cheesy

It had been proven that gambling can remove stress, boredom and grief since, it is automatic that when our minds is occupied, we forget things that happen around us.  If we are sad or in grief, being occupied with something is a bliss.  That way we can escape those moments of sadness.  Same goes with boredom and worry.  And gambling do this best.
This is what makes gambling more preferable than doing other things like going out with family, relaxing and etc. When people are bored, sad and stressed they go to casinos or play gambling online because it gives this different kind of excitement when playing. Though it is considered as illegal many still cling to it and some become dangerously stick to it.

I gamble but I never treat gambling as relaxation. For me, watching movies at home, playing video games and eating is more relaxing than gambling.

Well, it's preferable for those who usually gamble. But not preferable to everyone, precisely if we talk about preferable, vacationing with family is more preferable than gambling. When stress, then we vacation with family, not just us who are happy, but our family is also happy, and see our family laugh happy is a very powerful thing to relieve stress.

I never gambled to escape worry, trouble or loneliness i can't see the point of doing this ... Why would you gamble to escape from something, maybe if you are bored yes, but try to face the things/problems you dont want it, gambling wont help you mate .

Most of the time I gamble to kill boredom. My gambling hobby started when I got married and my husband decided to stay in their place where I know no one much so to entertain myself I play online games until I discover online gambling and there where Im making my time pass playing dice.

I don't think it's the best if you just want to pay money to kill your boredom, you could easily play a video game or a game on your phone without necessarily paying and loosing some money for nothing. Entertainment can be free without you having to pay  for them so don't use gambling as an excuse to loose money.
The thrill itself are so different, you know gambling are an entertainment that makes your adrenaline pushed, that's what a lot of people looking for. Not just about making profit, having some fun ordinarily etc. it's an entertainment that you'll never find it anywhere else , i could say it's priceless. Filling your time with gambling aren't something bad , it's a choice.
True but we should always be sure on what choice we have made its either treating gambling as a pure entertainment or just for the sake of profits.Dont expect too much on gambling when it comes on profit making because it is not possible most of the time it is just been made for the sake of entertainment but most people or gambler do treat it on a different way.
They think gambling are a good and quick way to double your money. It's your wild emotions, don't follow it. Just think about how gambling are so destructive, makes a lot of people suffering then you might would reconsider to waste your time for the sake of gambling.
For sensible person then they will really think always on the things that might happen ahead.In short they do already visualize on the possible scenarios will happen later on when they got involved on gambling and being addicted to it. Gambling is the really the fastest way on doubling or even tripling money in an instant but also the fastest way on losing money instead on escaping boredom,stress you will eventually add it up even more.
Nothing but regret you'll get. You might think you have spent your spare time and have fun there but you didn't realize you are in danger risking your normal life to be ruined . It won't solve your problem if you do avoid it by gambling , just face it. You won't feel bored indeed but think about what the effect later in the long term, it's full of negative things besides you lost more money than what you've got.

that gambling is not always about winning, but rather the process of betting it - and other factors around it that make it fun.

Gambling is very good to eliminate boredom, most especially when you really want to get your blood hot and you understand that what you are doing is purely for the entertainment.

Otherwise, for someone who may not be able to see it as pure entertainment or fun and also do not have a mindset that they can lose what they are gambling with, then they are not escaping worry, trouble, boredom, loneliness, grief or lose like the Op said, they are only adding to it.

I gamble most of the time when I am alone.
There are those who gamble for pass time. To forget their problems and entertain their own selves. Some who are heart broken spend time also in gambling so they dont focus on their emotions when they are busy of excited in gambling.
Sure, some people who have so much in life already and would not mind the little they are gambling will obviously not care and would just be passing away time, but the only unfortunate thing is that they are few and most people are really looking for how their luck can play out so they can end up winning a lot of money at the end of the day. For people like that, I guess it will only be adding to their grief, sorrow and all the negative things combined rather than curbing it.

I gamble but I never treat gambling as relaxation. For me, watching movies at home, playing video games and eating is more relaxing than gambling.
I also do not consider as playing gambling offline and online a relaxation because I don't like noisy places and I also do not like my time being spent on unimportant things. If I want to relax, I treat myself really good and I spent my day eating foods I like, watching movies and sleeping for straight and long 8 hours. As a student, most of the time I lack of sleep and sometimes I don't really sleep at all due to my busy schedule so when weekends come and if I don't have any projects to do, I go on relaxing. I have never think of gambling as a way of relaxing and escape to negativity because I believe that if I am sad and then I lose money because of playing, I will only be more sad.



It depends on the person, you guys can relax by doing sleeping, watching tv, playing mobile games etc. but some people will get relax by doing gambling. yes whenever they are under stress to get the relief they will play gambling. I also do but not every time. how you guys can play online mobile games like that we will play gambling games that's it.

Most of the ones I know who gamble usually do it to win some money doing it.
They have a couple of bucks left over from their paychecks at the end of the week and tend to just do it so to enjoy themselves on a game they were waiting to see all week long.
And just putting alittle money on their favorite team just makes the game a bit sweeter to watch if they do manage to win it. Wink

Yeah, i am also one of them who play gambling in a free time, because i want to spend my boring time in a thrill and excitement of gambling. But i am not a gambler who have a broken heart even i never seen any heart broken play gambling, But i see mostly people who want to relief from their worries, grief and troubles then they start to play gambling because of support their-self by financially. 
Gambling for me it's just like entertainment, I played gamble when I was tired at work, to relieve my stress from whole day work in the field.
The thrill and the excitement were there so I feel more relaxed by doing that and I have a limit in gambling. I didn't play gambling just to escape worry, trouble, boredom, loneliness, grief or loss. Besides, i feel happiness when I already at the gambling site.

I think it is ok to gamble, even when worried, in trouble, bored, lonely, in grief, or lost, as long as the gambling does not impact significantly on someone's life, especially in working/family/relationships. I mean, if occasionally one is gambling as an act of self-harm, say burning a day worth of salary, it is still ok, as long as the gamble does not affect his/her living conditions, or the people he/she loves.

Gambling per se is not a bad thing.

Yes, on some occasions maybe gambling can release our stress, boredeom or grief but do not forget that with gambling there is also a chance we will increase the level of sadness we have. Unexpected loss or other bad things can happen.
That's part of it, but if you just play spare money and the intentions is just to have some fun, it will help you out to fill that feelings, emotions are
being change by excitement, if you are enjoying even you are seeing some mistakes will give your mind some free space to enjoy that feelings and
stop thinking for a while of some problem that you have inside.

You would be a robot to think you could remain sane with such distractions on your head and mind. Those temporary relieves are hardly worth the boarder because they are relegated only to the background, ready to bounce back and even more daunting when the game is up. Soundness of mind is inevitable to be able to flow along with a game.

I don't think that this is a good idea to play gambling to escape worry, trouble, boredom and another else because we cannot enjoy the games and we can get lost too much without we realize. it is good for us if we play gambling without negative things in our mind so we can enjoy the games and have fun with the others. maybe if we feel to worry, trouble, boredom and else, we need to have another activity to solve the negative things in our mind, for example, maybe yoga will be the best things that we can do.
From my on perspective, I truly agree with you. Gambling has never really ended up having a good ending story except for those who are just extra lucky anyway and do not end up gambling back all their winnings. There are other better places to escape worries, boredom, loneliness and the rest, but gambling is totally out of it.

And the worst one the OP mentioned was grief or lose, when eventually you are going to be losing more with gambling and with huge grief over your loss. Not a good call at all.

sometimes I gamble because of boredom or because I'm procrastinating on doing something that needs to get done.
But I also gamble fo entertainment.
I do get some enjoyment out of it because there is a thrill to betting when something is on the line and you have a chance to make some money.
No i don't lose my money just to escape all those things that is why i drink in the first place. Going to the casino and drinking and also gambling at the same time is a recipe for disaster wince you are eventually going to lose a lot of money.
That would have really been a terribly bad combination but since you have been able to deduce that already, good for you. The thing is that escaping worry with gambling will only add to it, most especially for someone who had the mindset of luck shining on them and for those who never imagined how much they could end up losing in gambling. From all those things that the OP mentioned, the last place such a person would ever want to go is a casino.
