Gambling has made a way in my life that's made a big impact. For example, when i feel lonely it makes me want to play and play. Not just in gambling but also with consoles and the risk of playing with others in a game with a wager makes me feel fired up. So I turn to it when possible but I make sure I'm not addicted.

I used to gamble whenever i'm having troubles to sleep or when i'm on vacations at summer and i don't really have something to fill my day aside from video games . Breakups and emotional troubles make me take gambling as a last resort to comfort my self and eventually forget about everything that bugs me .
That is not a good reason to gamble, too much hours spent online can bring you sleeping troubles. Also no one should gamble to escape from reality, at some point you will probably lose money and what then? Your problems will remain unsolved, you will still feel worried, bored, lonely and all other things from OP. Gambling should be treated as it is - chance to win money.yes, you will only compound your problems if you try to escape from reality by engaging in a gambling activity because the problems remains unsolved and you are only trying to forget them for a moment and if you don't get fulfillment from the gambling the problems will be back to come and hunt you.

I gamble most of the time when I am alone.
Me too but not when I am sad or angry or whatever else you mentioned because we won't have control on what we are doing and it may lead to serious loss and hence resulting in more grief. If you just gamble for fun and doesn't care about profits then yeah you can gamble at any emotional situation otherwise you shouldn't.Exactly, that is a terrible mistake and you could have lost all your bankroll in such a state. Gambling unless you are guaranteed to win will never ever take away your trouble or grief or even a loss but might be able to help with your boredom.

After I returned after leaving gambling once, now mostly I gamble to have fun and also yes, to escape worry or tension, boredom and loneliness.
I think gambling to move away from your grief is a bad method, rather people with high emotions can even worsen there situation.

I gamble when I have mood for that and some coins in the wallet. Nothing disturbs me then, so oftenly I scroll slot games when we are sitting with friends at my place. It can be really fun, especially to solve different missions of the game.
You will not relieve stress if you are only playing with small amounts. If really want have fun mostly we spend a amount with thrill to feel the game. Experiencing some risk is the most interesting and fun part of playing gambling. Just remember that don't spend amounts that we alot for other activities.In fact, most of the times I have gambled, even despite the fact that I classify it as fun and I know I am only gambling what I can afford to lose, my blood, brain, heart and every part of my body gets hurt.
I have never gambled for any reason except fun anyway, but no one really loves the idea of losing even when you know you can afford to lose what you are gambling with.

I remember that I was bored that day and I saw those popular gambling sites and I have tried it. I can't imagine a person that still can gamble when he is troubled, grieving,worried or lonely because it will just make it worse.

I think you should learn some other activities to spend your time instead of going to gambling every time when you're alone. I gamble only when I get bored and only sometimes not every time I get bored go to gambling. If you continue gambling like that soon or later you may addict to these games and later it will become a big issue for you so try to minimize your gambling activity and pick up other activities more.

I gamble in all kind of moments, when I'm bored and lonely, when I wish to escape from some worry and stress, but the best time in gambling I have when my mind is clear and when I can think straight about game I play.
Clear head is what makes someone more successful in gambling then others are, I still have moments when I lose some money in gambling cause of my bad judgement and after losing I think about how would I play it differently just if I wasn't so distracted by something or someone.

I gamble to relieve stress until now but most of the time I'm only gambling for the profit and there's no any other reason beyond that. To be frank, most of the gamblers are for the profit and if sometimes we do have other reason that is only to do something when we are bored.
The reasons indicated are born from extreme emotions and we're all aware how emotions and gambling are a disastrous mix. This places the person in a very ripe situation to make terrible decisions and make the current situations worse
It's definitely a disaster when you are on that feeling and you gamble. I advise that when you are feeling that way don't gamble because it will only lead you to lose instead of giving yourself some delight when you gamble. That's not the right way of solving that emotion and having a nice feeling.

I gamble when i have nothing to do and want to relieve from stress usually after work. I think its not right to turn on to gambling if the reasons are what you have mentioned.If i felt those feeling, i prefer to bond with my friends and have someone to talk to or unwind in a nice place. If you gamble because of that it might turn bad for yourselves.

It's really me. I don't have any hobby in my life, only gaming and staying at home. When i am alone and really bored, only gambling that can help me break that alone. I always gambling to use my free time and boredom, actually i have many friends on gambling too. That's why i never alone again when i do gambling.

I try to gamble when I am all alone, bored,lonely, doing nothing, when I have money but not to escape something. I am facing my problem not running from it. It is sometimes effective sometimes not. I forgot why I am lonely, why I am alone, I forgot being bored then I meet new friends both good and bad influence to me. It also become my past time sometimes too much past time because I just play or gamble all day. But sometimes , I am just wasting my money, I am just wasting my time since I get nothing from it. It is also the reason why I do not do gambling for a profitable purpose.

Actually I have tried gambling because I wanted to escape boredom and loneliness from a relationship I had, I felt I was neglected and didn't feel I was important to that person so I turned to gambling. Luckily though it became my strength as well as I have gained new friends and opened up a new world because of gambling and that I was really thankful also for these gambling sites where you can talk to anyone about anything and gamble and have fun at the same time.
In my opinion, if you have so much money .. you will be looking for some strange entertainment. That's because rich people tend to have everything and can do anything. They can feel a variety of entertainment without worrying. At some point when they have felt and got everything, they will feel bored and do not know what else to do. That's when they will look for unnatural entertainment. And maybe that's when they become addicted to gambling.
Sorry if my words offend and tend to hate rich people. It's because I come from a simple family and I'm very jealous of them. But I'm sure everyone has its own problem and I have no right to judge others. So yeah that's it.

In the first place, gambling was created just to address these miseries, to be entertain and it should be the only purpose if we are going to play gambling but later on or after centuries passing by, this for fun activity become a vice in which many suffered because of addiction in gambling. Gambling is good but we need to play it moderately so that we may not like the others whose lives are now ruined because of the addiction of this vice.

yes I've been there and done that 
before i was just a home body person and i have less friends before it all started when i found out that my partner cheating on me i feel so depressed at that time because i don't have friends to talk to i am afraid at that time to tell my parents so one day i just found out my self i started to gamble to divert what i felt..
That seems to me more like looking for more heart aches. before i was just a home body person and i have less friends before it all started when i found out that my partner cheating on me i feel so depressed at that time because i don't have friends to talk to i am afraid at that time to tell my parents so one day i just found out my self i started to gamble to divert what i felt..I know a lot of people usually find solace in some things so as to make them forget the problems they left behind and sometimes we always end up finding them in even crazier things that would make us regret living life at the moment.
The fact is they won't make you feel better and you can only have the fun at those moments, but by the time you are done with the past, you are probably already dealing with another present heartache and finding ways to get out which is not easy.
