I believe this is the maximum number of people stay with the gambling field. I see the people invested on the gambling for their entertainment purposes mostly. If you check the reasons for it. Hopefully they may not happy with their works or anything buddy.
We need to make ourself happy apart from the loneliness or any such bullshits. For these kind of sad time if we go to gambling finally nothing will be in your hand. Please play well for some enjoyment alone no more greediness or anything on gambling investments.

If someone starts gambling for the reason for their lonliness then it will leads to the addiction at some point so they don't have to gamble when they are not mentally strong it can affect their winning percentage too in some games.To get away from lonliness there are lot of motivational thing we can do which can help others as well.

Those who feel they are lonely should be able to do other things to kill their boredom as it does not have to be gambling. Asides from that, being lonely and in a state of depression even makes it so impossible for you to have the right mindset and be able to think straight as a person and that sets in room for a lot of crazy emotional decisions that usually lead people into doing what they are not supposed to do. For someone that is already depressed, gambling can even make the person more depressed.

Yeah maybe some players have that reason, but of course not all of them use that reason why they gamble. some players have different goals and mostly because they are looking for impressions/fun and looking for profit, yeah you're right when you gamble because of loneliness it might be bad to you, like being an addict because loneliness is looking for an impingement you know, maybe they will become addicts because of that.

I also do the same. I never use gambling for making money, because I think it is not a business in which I can make money. I just use gambling for fun and entertainment. If you do the same you will never fell loneliness and will never be frustrated. When you understand that it is enough and leave the casino then you will be mentally relaxed because your gambling purpose is not making money.

Being lonely can be due to social anxiety and not being able to get along with people. This may have deeper roots with their brains and they might need treatment for that. However such people would tend to stay away from gambling because are generally very protective of their money and would not want to gamble it away.

Most highrollers you see on casinos are excited and want to get attention from people. Thats just the opposite of social anxiety. They would smoke weed and start blabbering away in chatroom and roll each and every coin they have.

Yesterday I watched a video about addiction on youtube: https://youtu.be/ao8L-0nSYzg. It was a real surprise to me that according to recent research people are addicted to drugs mainly because they can't bond well with people and are not able to live a satisfying life. The research shows that when an addicted person appears in a loving and caring environment, the addiction kind of disappears (even heroin addiction). I wonder what are your thoughts on this matter and whether you think you could say the same about gambling addiction.

Drugs and gambling are very different from each other but they are also same because it is both addicting. "gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction?" No I dont think so. As of my experience we become addicted to gambling because we become greed and we become tempted of this thing. We want to win the big price. Gambling is money. Money is temptation.

Various reasons someone is addicted to gambling, perhaps the most is because by gambling we can get money quickly in large amounts (that is if we are lucky) Grin

. Everyone has their own reasons for continuing to gamble.

What about the people who end up losing money - they should get "deaddicted" if we go according to your logic. But its not so in reality. The addiction to gambling comes from the inherent greed and gluttony we have inside everyone. It makes us think that luck is on our side and is stimulated by the casinos advertisements.

So in order to prevent addiction, one should control these emotions and make sure they dont get affected by them. However many people do gamble for fun and entertainment only which if kept in control wont make the person addicted.

I do not think addiction has to do with not being able to make a bond with other people or make friends. I can have friends and be addicted at something. However, let's say that addiction has to do with being comfortable about a certain thing like video games, gambling, and all sort of fun. When you happen to feel yourself having fun, you will want to experience it again and again until it forms the so-called addiction. And that is the addiction of having fun. Gambling addiction does not only make you have fun, but it also makes you more greedy about having more money or profits.

some gambling cases could be due to loneliness , but majority don't . people get addicted to drugs to escape away from reality , they don't want to face their troubles in life . So addiction leads to loneliness not the other way ! .
I think this kind of discussion needs a supervision of a suitable specialist not on forums where anyone can say random words.

It's still better to discuss with this kind of issues to also help other gamblers to narrow down the main issue of being lonely which leads to addiction. Addiction is a serious matter which needs to be handled by some specialist and you definitely right with your concern.

To me I think that the main reason which compel people to start playing gambling can only be that they do not have any job or any good source of income. Or those people who have such company who are addicted to gambling. I think that very few people may be thinking that they have started gambling because of loneliness.

I don’t think so that it’s that these people I think it’s mainly because of the entertainment for the chance of profiting easily compared to working and doing hard work for your moneys worth. Loneliness is not related in my opinion because if you think of that, almost everyone would be tempted to play and just be there.

I think it very much depends on individuals. However, it would make sense that some people join for those exact reasons, other reasons altogether or a combination of reasons. What's certain is that its a dangerous addiction.

Based on your perspective, i believe its only due to individual ofc but to want looking for something more, like a big reward or that special recover after a big bust.

Well, human are a piece that lumps together using a seven deadly sins of this world and of course, greediness is always one of them. I don't know someone who is not that greedy at all. Everyone has to be greedy of something since not all of the time, greediness is always referring to money or riches. I guess addiction is more like of an escape to the reality, that they want to live in their own corners. They have their dreams and goals it is just that different from the path that we are taking, well, everyone has their own paths it is just that Gambling addiction is a disease in our world.

I don’t think so at first. The early stages of gambling addiction is when you are used to winning and you always keep positive that you’ll win back what you’ve lost and once you’re there and you’ve lost everything, that’s when it starts. Loneliness and dissatisfaction then becomes the main reason. Looking back to everything you’ve been through, and replaying the same scenes as to how you could’ve changed your decisions.

When a person first starts gambling they dont look into the dark side of it. Like any other aspect of life, it also has very bad consequences. Because at that time they are blinded the probable returns that gambling can give and not the loss they can incur. Some wiser folks do recognize their folly soon and stop gambling but most people who are willing to take the risk would continue gambling and get addicted.

But this has nothing to do with loneliness in my opinion. A person who would become an addict would become one irrespective of other factors.

I really want to believe addiction is a self inflicted one as a result of greed rather than loneliness which I believe should not be an excuse for any gambler. Dissatisfaction with respect to losing while feeling one has to win at all cost could also be a way but in reality, all these are still centred on greed and the mindset the person ended up coming with into gambling.

Gambling addiction itself on the other hand, can be the cause of loneliness as people around just try to avoid you and let you be with your reckless lifestyle because at that stage, it will be hard to get the will to wanna change and when people keep trying to help and you just keep doing whatever you feel, at a point, they just back off, leaving you to your fate.

Everyone is different and has different reasons for taking up gambling, and possibly becoming a gambling addict. Some people think of it as a way to make money to pay bills and end up addicted. Others might look at it as a means of escaping from reality, a bad home, a sad life, etc and end up addicted. There must be 1001 reasons out there.

yes, we have different reasons to stay at the gambling places and we can say that become addicting in gambling is because of loneliness and dissatisfaction with our life. but I think that there are other people that have the happy life with his family but the problem is he cannot leave the gambling place because he can earn money and he can enjoy the game. so for this person, maybe he should think to quit gambling as soon as possible so he can stop his addicting in gambling and he can live better with his family.

Not only 1001 reasons but more of it. Diverting those loneliness and other problems into addiction just to escape from the reality can be one of the finely reason why there are people who becomes addicted to gambling.

And this also the same goes for addictions as well but if a person really becomes addicted to it, we can be sure of it that there's only one reason to it.

That can be for money or something logical and emotional.
