I gamble most of the time when I am alone.

I never gamble to escape worry, trouble,boredom,loneliness, grief or lose, mainly because I know gambling is inherently stupid and you are going to lose, but I like the thrill of gambling in special occasions when I take a trip to Las Vegas with friends or something. So actually I gamble less than 10 days per year.

If I was rich I would like to attend the big boxing fights in MGM grand and I would for sure play around in the casino while im at it, but im not rich so im stuck watching pirated streams.

We do have the same hopes  ;D How i wish that i would be rich like that in able to do those things i do really like to experience but well back to the topic I do play gambling when my mood is good and if i do have vacant times.I dont really play on those times when im in trouble or boredom,grief/loss because most of the time i will not able to enjoy my game because i cant think off properly for sure.

No such thing occurs in my part, even if I feel troubled, bored, loneliness or discomfort towards something I just play a game or go out with friends bonding with my relatives because that is the way of life you just need to handle it and pray to GOD, and not resulting to just gambling to just be your cover for all of your problems because worst case scenario it can become even worst, but I have known someone who resulted in playing gambling games when he feels that way and ended up addicted to it.

No, because there are other things that I can do to escape my problems like watching vlogs,movies, playing games and many more. Gambling would just cause you more problems once you start losing your bets it'll just become worse because and that could be the start of your addiction to gambling. Not a good idea if you want to escape from reality.

The best gamblers try to minimise or even withdraw all emotion during the time they are gambling. Emotions can largely affect your abilities to gamble to the best of your ability.

I only gamble for fun so it's not overly important how I feel but if you're gambling using big money you want your head to be straight.

Nope. The last thing I want to do whenever I feel a need to escape worry, trouble, loneliness, grief or loss is gamble. I only gamble when I'm feeling good vibes and no worries. And boredom is what boring, lazy people feel.

I can't imaging what it would feel like if you were feeling bad, sad, troubled, etc and you gambled and then lost. That would prolly make you feel ten times worse.

I only do it because I am bored. Not really because I want to escape worry, trouble, loneliness, grief or loss, those feelings can never be filled by gambling no matter what. If it does solve the problem, it is just something temporary. It is never a healthy way to avoid problems. The best solution to a problem is solve the problem.

I mostly remain surrounded with my family and relatives so I am not quite lonely but I used to be alone whole day when I was staying in a rented apartment for study few months back. I have gambled so much at those time because of boredom and one night I gambled whole night and also lost so much...

I am not gambling with real money these days, just playing with some free money like fake balance and play money to kill time.

Usually I only gamble when I go out with friends.

The times I do it at home it is definately out of boredom.

I did not gamble just for those things. I gamble  because I want it and its a way to have the fastest profit and thats the reality. I cant even escape those things because when I'm lonely I'll just get into my room and will be there for how many hours. The samw with other feelings.

To escape boredom? Sure. With the clear mind that you are just 'paying' house edge for this.

However, if you do gamble for ant others of the mentioned reasons /worry, trouble,loneliness, grief or lose/ I think this is problematic gambling.

I never played for worry or escape ya but i first started to play due to boredom and loneliness. but dont know when it became habit but on one stage i got too addictive and suddenly realized the bad effects and by god grace left the gambling but started the sports betting because it is much better then gambling like dice and casino.

Yeaa having too much spare time could be the reason for anyone to start gamble.
As you feel boring have nothing to do and you have gambling habit previously.
You will run to gamble instead doing another hobby that actually not harmful , quite addictive.

I never gamble to forget my problems, although gambling can become a problem itself when I lose control. But that does not happen very often. Gambling can be very exciting and the thrill to earn easy money can make you forget about your concerns. So better to solve your problems and do not mix that with the gambling or you will miss all the fun.

Why do you think sports betting is better?
I always thought so too, but that was before bitcoin and provable fairness
Because it's more effort to frame sports matches than it is to a closed source casino
But since provable fairness is introduced I find gambling other than sports betting to be in the same rank

I have never gambled to escape worry, boredom, loneliness or grief
I just gambled for fun when I felt like it

Associating anything with those feelings is DESTRUCTIVE
Every time you feel something and act based upon it, you create a habit
If you're going to pull out a bottle each time you feel lonely or you're going to start gambling, it doesn't matter, you're going to create habits that are beyond your mental control
You're just going to act as soon as you feel something bad although you know it's wrong
Don't drink and gamble or do drugs when you feel sad, just don't
It's only going to make things worse

I only gamble when I was bored, if I got trouble or grief I never gamble because it can distract me from gambling and I won't be able enjoy the game, gamble is best play when you are in clear mind and relax, with that you can really get the fun from gambling and gambling with problem on your mind can make you more stressful

Yes. sometimes I used this as an excuse to gamble. Specially if I'm bored I either play online or go to a landbased casino. Although its not a good reason to really play, I just found it to be effective method for me. I also play to escape my stress in life I don't want to think of it all the time. It's a stress reliever for me. And for those we said No, I think one time or another, you have gamble to get away from your problems in life. So I definitely agree with the OP here.

Yes, a lot of times already and most especially if I am bored and lonely. It makes me forget at that moment that I don't have a companion and doesn't make me feel I'm bored in fact it amuses me and makes me forget almost anything negativity crossing my mind.

As an occasional gambler, I do gamble most when I'm stressed and bored. Normally, I play once or twice a month in a nearby casino. Since I'm done with my addiction days I only tend to gamble to release my stress and to have fun and enjoy somehow.

I guess gambling while your an in a stage in which you are troubled/bothered, lonely, grief or loss. Would make a negative impact not only to yourself but also to people around you. I'm not saying that it could escalate into something unpleasant but the possibility of doing things beyond one's control is high.

Gambling while in the sad mood will make our game harder. In gambling we need a fresh mind, so it is better not to do gamble when we had no good mood. I myself will try to never gamble on such situation.

I mostly gamble only whenever I have free time, I seldom gamble to escape frustrating issues on my mind, gambling is a form of entertainment for me and I really enjoy the fun and excitement of playing the games I like if I can afford it as there is always a risk to lose my money on a bad day.

One of the main reasons I want to be rich is literally to go watch the big boxing bouts. Like for example I would like to make a trip with some bros and go on Las Vegas this weekend to watch Canelo vs Golovkin fight, but I dont have money so I have to resort to stay at home and watch it on some stream (I can't even afford PPV, im saving every penny for crypto).

Hopefully in 10 years BTC will be worth a fuckton and also hopefully I nail a homerun and im holding a new crypto that blows up x1000 in value, that would be enough to retire.

if i have trouble, worry, grief or lose normally i would talk with my family to solved these problem and if i have loneliness i would visiting my friends and having fun with them so my purposse for gambling depending on my desire because if i want to gamble and have money so i would do it and if i felt that is enough then i would stop gamble and leave

Same goes for me I also gamble when I am alone and feel bored,
But I really control the amount that I deposit since I am only playing to past my time and not for the profit .

I gamble most of the time because of boredom. I play gambling mostly for fun and not for profit. I gamble with my friends because it is more exciting and fun and also because I am used to play with other people personally. I can also remember that I have gamble because of loneliness and sometimes mix emotion.

Some are born that has a gambling instinct in their blood.

It is not really stupid if you are just gambling just for recreational activities or when you are just having fun with your friends but when the time that everything gets rpserious or you even hurting yourself and those who are around you just for gambling then that's what makes you stupid.

Some rich people Gamble to relieve stress and boredom some are just passing time.
Some are grieving for what's lost and some are happy by hitting the jackpot.
It can either take you up or down so be responsible for the risk that one must take when gambling.

Me too. I usually gamble just to have some fun with my friends and family and I don't gamble if I'm too depressed or have personal issues because it won't help and you are going to gamble when your decision is clouded and you may even lose more, adding to your grief. Maybe boredom yes, specially at night when there is nothing to do and you just go online and play your favorite online dice game or even slot machine. Just to past the time, when you are alone and not yet sleepy. But to escape the your personal problem. No.

I sometimes gamble when I'm bored or lonely. It helps to entertain and cheer up, but you need to set a limit to not lose all the money in case of failure.

gamble for no matter what reason actually in the end would have the same result and it's an addiction especially when you do it continuously in regular time. it's an addictive game and mostly can't deal with gambling problem in mature way , they are all do it irresponsibly. be a real man by handle it properly like to accept whatever the outcome you have got.

I live in a community where a person is judged badly if they see this person going to a landline casino or a sports book shop. Therefore I only play when I am alone and with bitcoin so no people from my country knows that I do gambling. I used to play gambling when I was sad but after the session I played I ended up even more sad than before. Gambling is not a good way to forget your troubles, nor alcohol is.

Gambling in a sad mood from my point of view will be done without objectivity which one thing that gambling does not want because losing money in addition to the loss or grief is double tragedy. For me, I haven't done something of that nature and I don't think I  can because when I gamble, I want to be in the right state of my mind and do it effectively.

When I was younger I habitually gambled for the reasons you have mentioned, but since some years I play only to spend my time and have some fun.

But I have to confirm that gambling is also good to forget about the problems one have. And this very healthy compared to alcohol or drugs.  :)

For the above mentioned reasons of Op I have never been into gambling. My focus is earning and most of the time sports betting is given priority. Here too I don't participate regularly, but with the teams that I have data regarding their way of planning as well the players involved in the game.

yep I play gambling when i'am bored and even i feel loneliness. playing gambling is one of my stress reliever and also gambling makes my mind clear and stay sharp. If I won on a game i keep playing cause all i want is to feel that im not alone and to relieved my loneliness inside me.

Definitely not, for now... since I always gamble to try to make a profit. If I will play for the reasons as mentioned by the op... well I would lose a lot of money since you can't focus on a game if you feel bad. I always make sure that I'm in the good mood before I play because this will help me focus on gambling.

Quite contrary, i am gamble when mood is happy or when getting additional bonus from business partner. Sometimes when i'm tired of my work routine, i will gamble but only for a few minutes, then resume work. Because, gambling just makes me feel want to keep playing.

To win in gambling we need a Strong mood not a bad mood , Bad mood can give a more chances to loss in the game , When i feel worry or to relieve Stress from mind I just spent 10 to 15$ in gambling , sometimes it give me more return than regular play. Gambling is not good way to Enjoy loneliness , but its better then to drink alcohol 

No, I haven't done that ever. I have been playing computer games, watching movies or simply drinking until I dropped, but never thought about gambling.


Aren't you afraid that losing can make your mood even worse and as a result bring you into a state of heavy depression?

Sometimes I gamble because of boredom or because I'm procrastinating on doing something that needs to get done. But I also gamble for 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.

The only way to escape all the above problems is not to gamble, gambling will just compound the frustrations that you are already feeling, Alcohol have been the short term problem solver from the time GOD sacked Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Just take a sip of whiskey rather than gambling and forget your problems.

No i never did that in past if i am sad it would mean i will always think about that incident even while gambling and won't be able to control myself and finally will become more sad because i lost the money we should always gamble with a clear mind and should have all the time otherwise we will lose

I never gamble when I want to escape from something, it will probably cause counter-effect. I have different ways to deal with things mentioned, gambling is not one of them.
Not really, mood can't change your chance. I am not sure from where did you get this silly idea.
This is something we could discuss  ;D
Seriously. It is saturday, go outside, when you see nice lady buy her a drink, I am sure that will be a good start to fight your loneliness, bad mood etc.

It's a great idea to talk to this outside when you guys are in both mood and have the same interests. Then talk again about gambling and how to manage to win or to get a win streak if by chances could allow you to win.

If you need reason to gamble, then it's a pure addiction because addictions take place only when you are depressed or are trying to escape something.
Gambling should never be done to escape anything as it could lead to serious losses and even much more depression levels could be observed. I gamble to make money no matter how, but I do it and manage to make some. When I lose, I don't cry but try hard to gamble back and earn something but what's lost is lost, I never try to recover it. It's not good to gamble while in trouble because it could also lead you to more trouble if, let's say, you do it with someone's money and lose. Yes I would say I want to remove boredom out of my life and I gamble for fun.

Maybe most gamblers gamble on the grounds to kill their boredom. I'm not too sure if gamblers gamble to escape from trouble, to escape from loneliness. Loneliness will not disappear because of gambling, unless you gamble directly, not online gambling. Direct interaction that removes loneliness.

When you gamble when your thoughts are in trouble is too risky. It will tend you to lose amount that you didn't expected. In that state you have many thoughts that are running in your mind so you can't think right. Better to pick up your thoughts before you do this, talk to someone to release all your emotions and what's bothering you. Then just go back when everything's ok and play without worries.

I think it's perfectly normal for any of us to find some form of escapism. I guess for the majority, it doesn't get out of hand and serves stress-reducing purposes. Gambling is one of those things I can keep relative tabs on. Especially when I'm stressed, I do lose control every now and then, but at worst, I lose just a bit more than I intended. A follow up deposit when I've lost my initial, for example. But I've just heard to many stories and seen too many cases of ruined lives from gambling debt to go down that path. Unfortunately, I have other vices that I am less able to control...

yeah basically when you are in the bad situation and decide to release all of the bad things through gambling i think it would only make things getting worse. not a good idea at all , it might help you but only temporary . it's just fulfil your lust for a moment. escape yourself from any problem to a better way , gambling aren't really an answer for sure.

you are going to create another problem if you will make this activity as an escape way to your issue, as we know that gambling is really addicting,
people who's involved to much with gambling already suffering with their addiction so better to divert your worries and other problem with some
healthy ways like sports activities or mental challenges.

Playing or gambling when you are in trouble or having some issues would certainly lead to a huge risk of losing money. I would suggest that in such type of emotions it should be released by speaking to friends, relatives etc. Be fresh and enjoy the game in casino without nay problem or worries and see it will be a different experience altogether.

Me too i'm gamble if i'm lonely and depressed especially when i really need money. I have been addicted in gambling because of my depression until almost my money lose it tooks few years. Then 2016 i decided to stop gambling.

Gamble for fun, avoid all problems with gambling. Everyone also like that 75% comparison for fun, 25% of people who like to gamble. The intention to have fun is not the profit earned. ;D

Sometimes I gamble when I am bored but too lazy to go out of the house I visit gambling site online to play dice game or roulette and sometimes sports betting. It really depends on my mood or sometimes when I want to gamble and don't want to lose money I just play an Poker App in my phone to kill time.

Gambling just to escape lose? Better if you will not include that in your choice. I gamble if I'm also alone but I don't gamble when I'm in trouble. I know what can I do when I'm feeling that I'm in a trouble. Because it can get worse if I gamble at that situation and I can lose money that I can't afford to lose, I'm totally on the loose if ever.

Yes I do it often well my first gambling was to help me cope cause my crush started dating some one else, so I decided to try it to help me cope the loss and I often do it, to get over my boredom and loneliness, somehow I feel comfort in it. It's like it adds some comfort in my life, when it's like there nothing to do, all alone and you need that thrill, that comfort that you are worthy, I feel gambling plays a important part in all this.

I gamble only on weekends and it makes me feel better.

No, I have never done that and that’s why gambling has brought me profits. The worst thing you can do is to gamble when you are not in a good emotional state and the best way to gamble is when you are completely able to act rationally.

The problem is, if your gamble to try to escape worry, trouble, boredom, loneliness, grief or lose, you are not only more likely going to lose money but you are also going to worsen your already bad emotional state.

i agree with you mate. you have a good point, i think its better to have a whisky rather than gamble but i still dont recommend it.
if he is lonely, then why dont he tries to entertain himselt like watching movies or try to go out with friends. than to gamble. as you said, if he losses, loneliness becomes frustration.

There are things that are really easy to suggest but people do really have different ways on exposing out their emotions or hardships on their minds.Some may do those things that you mention some may not and would rather play gambling instead.Ill rather drink whisky than into gamble because i do only spend a couple of bucks than on spending your money on gambling site which would really cost you more.

I only gamble when I have nothing to do and the same schedule I gamble. When it's my day off and there's no need to do something on that day. And I usually gamble just for the boredom and I want to do something so that I'm not going to freak out that I don't have something to do when I'm at home.

There's no exact reason why I gamble. As a gambler and that is gambling for a specific reason, you know it already guys and that is gambling for profit. I'm just avoiding those feeling like grief and I'm not going to gamble if I'm not feeling well. I usually gamble when I'm feeling well as my goal is for the profit and not just to ease stress or escape something.

Yes. The truth is that I used to play gambling when I am alone and sad because at that kind of past time I used to have time to think and to escape to my problems. And gambling also helps me sometimes to learn things and realize because many people doesn't know that in gambling there are lot of lessons.

I sometimes gamble when I'm bored, but I wouldn't say that I'd gamble to escape boredom.
The other things you've mentioned, I've never done, I only gamble when I'm feeling happy, seems like I make better decisions that way.

It's generally not a great idea to gamble when you're trying to escape something.

Whatever you do there is a meaning for that thing. Like that in gambling also we have many things to watch and learn. But it depends on your way of thinking. I say there is nothing to learn from gambling but you say there are a lot of things to learn. I found only fun in gambling, and I can't beat house edge. But I don't know what all good things you found in this gambling. There may be some good things but not everyone can find it.

Don’t worry, you are working hard and one day definitely your all dreams will come true with bitcoins. I am glad that you are faithful to bitcoins and holding them for future purposes. Bitcoins are going to pay you off in the form of grand profits. Just don’t give up on your dreams and stay away from gambling.

Exactly, I just play to escape my boredom, but if I have problems in life, much better not to gamble because you can't really escape it thorough gambling but instead you should man up and face your problems. And assuming you gamble to escape the issue, is winning will simply put your problems away? I don' think so. You may have additional problems if you lose as well. I guess that this is one of the excuse of most gamblers that turn addicts. They want to escape it but turn out that they just add another harm in their life-gambling addiction, which is hard to get out once you are suckered into it.

I also play most of the time when I'm alone and it makes me bored. Gambling excellently lifts the mood, but you always need to play with the mind and remember the possible risks.

I only play whenever I am bored since I have a firm belief that gambling is indeed just for entertainment. If you want to gamble because you feel lonely, troubled or worrying or that you are experiencing grief or loss, then that is the worst time to gamble. It will cloud your judgement and you will likely make bad decisions. Better to be calm whenever you are playing.

Every activity has something to offer in return. If a person is wise and clever enough, he will learn something precious out of any act. Gambling appears to be very useless and idiotic thing to do but many gamblers learn self control and limit their greed. In a nutshell, it depends upon individual’s insight.

I do play for some entertainment sometimes so I can lift up my mood. After a tiring day, someone like me needs to do some good gambling so I can put my stress away. Though I just gamble using the faucet free coins. I don't want to use my own bitcoin or fiats because I might be used or pushed to this kind of way of gambling and lose my coins and I will be ending up regretting that I've done it.

You will not relieve stress if you use only free coins from faucet. I wonder if you are telling truth. If really want have fun, you will not the small things just to play. Experiencing some risk is the most interesting and fun part of playing gambling. Playing with faucet only is boring.

Dreams would really come true but depending on how hard you do work for it because planning without any efforts would be still useless.Its not really bad to play gambling but you should only spend on the amount you can afford to risk and to lose up then you are just fine.We do have our own wishers or goals in life this is why we do really strive to engage ourselves on this cryptoworld.Playing gambling is just really an entertainment and not on a way on getting rich.

No, I have not. I also think it is very dangerous to do so. As you may be less cautious and even become pretty reckless when you're making the bets or the decisions

These reasons should be the main purpose why people are engage to gamble because we want to be entertain to ease those miseries that we have but it should be limited to these purpose only. Some are twisted from entertainment later on to vice which is now later on become bad habbit and making those miseries trying to avoid become worse.

No, its even more boring when using Free faucet gambling because we won't earn much money on free ways. If we had experience in Gambling, then investment make us more enjoyable.
When you are in good mood use it else betting will be lost since we won't concentrate on the matches at that time.

Indeed mate.. if we're not in the mood to play or do gamble tendency is that we might lose all our money. So that's why I never gamble just to kill boredom because if I lose I would kill myself. LOL!!! Just try to go to trading site and check if I already earn some profit from my previous investment and that's what make me smile and then jump to gamble again. 

Its the same with trading as well dude. Ypu need to have focus and you can't allow emotions to have a say in any decision you'rengoing to make. It's like driving under the influence of alcohol. You're.just putting yourself in a position where you're going to end up in a deeper hole

I want to add a point if nobody minds me doing so. A person who is thinking or planning to become rich by gambling, even in a safe way, is wasting his precious time. Some doors are not meant for us and if the key to the door of gambling has not been found yet, then I think it is good to quit on it.

I Gamble whenever i feel unsatisfied with something in my life, so i gotta gamble out the unsatisfactory of my life, like things that i couldn't control.

Therefore i gamble it because i couldn't control the gamble result too xd
 

I hope there are always people who always keep you company. So you're not thinking about gambling. I do not mean to expect that you can not gamble, but in order not to gamble too much. Not lonely means not gambling and that's good. Especially if you stop gambling (again do not mean to forbid you to gamble).

Whales use to play the gambling games whenever they expect the entertainment for them. It can be stress when you does not have a people to share your emotion but when you have people don't get into any gambling platform. I really fond of sports betting, it is really funny and enjoyable to participate.

Same with you, I play also because it is my past time and to take out some stress. But I can't avoid to play too much time and sometimes I lose a lot of money even I'm not addicted in gambling. I'm not addicted because I can control myself to lose some money by bringing enough money in gambling, budgeting my time for gambling and to the priority jobs. Temptation in playing games can't avoid so I always think that I play for friendship purpose.

I gamble to escape this because i want to relax my mind and enjoy the happiness when i gamble, so that even in few hours my minds will refresh that i have some worry or lonely. But i can manage myself and control myself not to addicted i just want to enjoy only and escape meanwhile. Because gambling gives people enjoyment and for fun, gambling provides excitement it has advantages also and do not abuse in gambling.

Gambling must be played for pleasure only. It is fun and most gamblers do really play it as an enjoyment. It gives gamblers break from their daily routine and a change is necessary at times. Also, if someone will play it for fun, he will not cross the limits, betting with only small amount.

So you are one of those gamblers that the OP has describe. They gamble to escape the trouble and worry in life. I used to gamble with that same reason. But honestly, it doesn't solved my problem but instead just put another burden in my shoulder because of my losing. So I stop and tackle my problem first and never gamble again. Now I just play to have some fun and enjoy. Good thing I was able to quit and not get addicted when I try to escape the problems in my life. Not a good combination, gambling + problems = more problems.

Gambling should be really for fun,it is much better to enjoy it since it is the only reward we can get especially if we are stressed just dont make it too seriously that may cause you more stress when lose.

There are also instances where i see some people gamble with the same reason. Some play to forget for sometime or to pass the time. But it is not too advisable to do this. A person who is lonely, angry or broken hearted holds an unpleasant feeling that pushes the person to bent the feelings on the game. Losing control over himself and not caring for the loses gambling could probobly bring may put the person into a difficult situation and cause regret later.

that's what i mean lol, just look at another hobby. it might help you to distract from your bad gambling habit. no matter for whatever reason you are gambling in the end it's just give you a crazy day , if you get bored just call your friends , hangout somewhere far away from gambling stuff and enjoy your beautiful life. don't waste it only on gambling.

Maybe yes maybe not, but in fact most of the gambler often gambling in such conditions maybe because gambling can bring entertainment even only for a moment, at least they can get rid of such feelings.

Same here I also am an occasional gambler and mostly when I am just bored and got nothing to do. It takes your stress away because for a minute you really forget the thing that stresses you most. But I just think if you gamble because you are troubled/bothered, grief or loss now I think that's a different story.

I only gamble when I have enough money that I can afford to lose in case I didn't win and most of those times, are period in which I am happy and what causes me not to have money is those factors identified which means I don't even have to move close to gambling in those periods. Maybe of I can make money while being bored or in grief, or loneliness, I can then consider gambling at those times.

I gamble just for the enjoyment and recreational purpose. Most of the time, I use certain amount for playing which i can afford to loose. I believe that gambling should be for entertainment purpose only, people should not get addicted towards it.

Gambling is indeed a tool of relieving stress for many gamblers. Nowadays, there are more stress cases than it was in the past and the percentage is increasing gradually. In such situation, gambling indeed provides pleasure and works as a break from hectic routine.

People have a reason to gamble, someone is gambling to win a big money and the others are gambling is for fun and for fast time only. But I gamble to win big money, so I'm not going to go to gambling if I feel bad, and when I'm not in the mode, because I can not think well and I will not do my gambling strategies. which will result in loss of gambling and it's just a waste of money, so for me when my mode is not good I can not gamble.

I try not to gamble when in a negative mood. As this affects the decision-making and may lead to greater losses than usual.

It is really the purpose of gambling to relieve the pain, the loneliness and even boredom. But now i realize that relieving your loneliness is that you should focus to others rather than in gambling. Gambling can make your life risky especially in financial needs.

How did you come about that realization though? Did you lose and realize that lesson or did you just think and just blurted that you won't not focus your boredom and loneliness in gambling? I guess, you should have shared your thought process on how you came about what you just realized. There is nothing interesting about just an opinion that came out of thin air.

Gambling can be a great solution when you want to kill your boredom or want to escape from loneliness. But I'm not sure if gambling is the solution when you have a problem, gambling to escape from trouble is the wrong thing because it does not mean you solve the problem, you're just dodging but the problem will always follow.

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.

Let's just take a deep look into this matter. People think that they can escape worry, trouble, grief etc by playing gambling like some people take drugs for this but the truth is when the game is over, all those worries are back.

Basically nothing has changed and running away from the situation won't change it. If a person will face the tough times, only then he will grow up.

These should be the purpose on why people will going to gamble that to be entertained and just for fun. You should continue and limit yourself in that ways everytime you gamble so that you could avoid it to become vice in which it may destroy your life by forgetting your work, friends and family.

And to gamble for these reasons is the most dangerous kind of game. You will have an unstable mind and will go on with all your money trying to forget your problems, but as you said, it's not possible. The person won't be playing for fun, as hobby, he will be playing just to focus his mind on another thing that isn't their daily life's problems, so he will try to play maximum as possible, consequently losing all disponible money on his hands.

Gambling to escape stress is one of the main reasons why people gamble and though people claim gambling is all about making money, you will come to know that only the poo really gamble so that they can win some jackpot and change their lives. Most people go to Las Vegas the gambling jewel in the entire world to escape their problems at home.

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..

Definitely not.im not a gambling fanatic but i played sometimes and as far as i know playing games must need positive thinking.so how could you apply positivity when your playing with those negative emotion,i dont argue with your style of playing if you find enjoyment on that so go.but try to play sometimes with positive aura.it might end good and better

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

Gambling is a fun and excitement factor that has got high risk in it. If lucky the user profits good, else need to end in losing. Once I gambled out of frustration, but got relieved because experienced continuous winning. Finally out of greed lost all that I earned in a time less than two weeks. So, opportunities strike us, and it's our responsibility to make use of it in the right manner.

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.

Nope I never gamble to escape those mentioned feelings since I know there are so many ways to divert your feelings to other things. I don't want to risk my money just because im bored or lonely there is other important things to do than gambling.

That seems to me more like looking for more heart aches.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

There is absolutely no way one can relieve stress from gambling.
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 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 .

It cant really be avoided on where on those times we do know that we can afford to lose up that money but the emotion of anger or getting pissed if you lose is there always.Its normal because we dont like to lose up and as a part of our mentality and emotion we will really react on such thing which tends that those moments are not really fun anymore.

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.

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. because i am not playing gambling just because i after come the profits of winning, i always played it for fun and pastimes to relieve stress and so with the same folks to escape from boredom. As for me if we believe it or not, playing gambling is the best time passer you can't notice  that the time goes fast since it keeps one's mind busy.

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.

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.

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.

Depends on how often one is alone in the first place. What if it happens once in a week and lasts couple of hours? Then I don't think that anyone is in a potential trouble. Gambling once per week is a goal I want to achieve. Thus it won't be very time consuming. But I can't and I don't want to quit gambling completely because it's boring to live without adding variety to life.

Gambling can be sort of destruction to those people who want to escape problems and loneliness in life, others want to gamble because they are worry about money. All gamblers has their own reasons why they gamble.

Not surprising at all to see people who have a lot of spare time and immediately to think about give a try to gamble.
Actually by gamble you are dealing your problem with a new problem , there's no real benefit doing this.
You feel angry and distract it to gamble , get lost and guess what will happened? You get more anger !

yup you are right mate, people have there own reason why they are playing gambling. I do gamble for fun, but I play to win my bet. Suppose if I lose I will take that easily. Who will not take their loss seriously they can play safe gambling. 

Gambling to escape from boredom, loneliness is what most gamblers do. Well many of them consider gambling as entertainment, so surely they also gamble when they feel lonely so they do not feel lonely. Every gambler must have done it.

Well its not all that bad. Gambling can really relieve stress and can make you forget about hkse negative feelings though only for a temporary period. The problem is, sometimes we make decisions that we don't usually make that cam lead to losses. If you're siffering emotionally, make sure than you can think rationally first before you gamble.

Gambling is a game wherein the rationale of our senses is very important if we are affected by the dancing of our emptions then we would be playing to lose the momebt we step on the table. It is very important to be of sound mind whenever we are playing and that would be affecting your game

That is a very dangerous way to escape boredom or trouble, or to forget about feeling lonely and you go to play to a casino or even worse you play from your home. In such cases it is proven statistically that the player tends to bet every penny until the last one and until he losses all. In most of such cases even when a player wins he keeps playing until he lose everything. Cases in which the player quits after winning a big sum are extremely rare when you started gambling to forget troubles.

Among those feelings enumerated, that boredom suits in gambling best, gambling is designed at first for fun, or to kill some time with some thrill. I bet no one will play it for lose or because they are in trouble since it can be an additional stress for them.

So it means that you have found gambling as a way to escape from your bad times.  I think that this is not the right way of supplication .you should instead opt for some other way such as getting yourself involved in some serious activity such as a job so that there is no time to think about the past and get yourself worried too much upon this mishaps. When I feel myself bored I usually prefer to go on vacation trip along with my family and do not gamble because it would actually make the things worst.

Depending how you are emotionally affected it's surely better to don't gamble. But some people are very used to stay alone and to pass several days without contact with other people and it doesn't mean they are affected negatively because the loneliness. They can have an organized life, knowing their limits in gambling and being a responsible person. I believe gambling can be a good activity for lonely people if they are able to control their mind.

In fact not taking loss seriously is what really makes the difference.
Losses should be expected in gambling a lot and people should never imagine gambling to be a means of profit making but more like trying out ones luck and expecting the worst. That is the only way it can be easy to regard it as fun.

Definitely we always have to be very careful and try as much as possible to win bet as that is the game and no one loves losing but to escape most especially grief or loss, is like fuel to fire.

As you said gambling will make his conditions worse,it causes more mental health problems, including depression, mood disorders and anti-social personality disorders.It also affects your family and your loved ones,gambling is only purpose of fun but many people are getting addicted to it.So you have to be bold when the tough times in our life,never bury yourself to hide from the worries.

Well the fact is I knew gambling because of gambling so when I'm experience winning, I keep try to gamble although I loss at the end.
On that day I feel regret ! but for somehow it attract me to gamble again and again so it can't be explain , it's just like a devils pull me in into their zone !

Yes, I do the mentioned above very frequently. As a matter of fact, escaping reality is what man would do to forget about his real life problems. So, he always in seek of a way to get away. Gambling is an example of a good escape, but not always. Sometimes you get worried when you lose.

You also start to drown into darkness without realizing that it would have been better if you faced your real life problems instead of dealing with gambling problems.

Why do you do something to escape reality, you are free man and you can choose to do what makes you happy. Who gamble to escape from reality will lose more then he can we, in gambling you need to be focused on what you are doing, more focused you are more likely you will win. Do things in the best way you can and believe in winning, choosing right game for you and your personality is crucial for success, play skill based games and not just lucky, lucky games are just fun and that games are for running away but there you can lose a lot more then you can win if you aren't lucky.

No, never. I actually need a clear mind to gamble. I play mostly card games, so I need to focus and rethink my moves each time. I never play on emotions and I rarely do it to kill time. When money's on the line I'm always doing my best.
It's possible to play automated games like dice and slots when you're nervous or sad, but if you lose it at such time it could push you deeper into that state.

There are many people like that. Sometimes, they using gambling as entertainment and forget about their problems, forget about stress even just for a while. But the thing is sometimes even you search happiness or you want to forget about problems gambling can't do that.

Playing gambling when alone and sad is not good for the game and the person who is playing.If someone sad and alone his mental strength might will be low and can't able to make good decision at bet which result in loss of his money.And it also cause mental stress if he lose his game so it is better to do something when he is alone rather than gambling.

Yes. I badly need money that time and for me the only easy way to get biig money is to gamble, if i win i will have more money. It was a disperate move that time because i gamble my money which i borrow from a friend. I was very excited when i reach in e games. E games was an electronic games where you can play slot machine online. But i lose the game. After which i did not return there til now.

Yes, I was first interested in gambling to avoid worries, problems, and sadness. At that time, I just dropped out of love, the task at school also piled up. Finally, my friend invites to gamble, there will be new friends and having fun together.

I rather drink to avoid these problems and since most of these problems that I faced are caused by the lack of enough money, I don't think gambling and thereby losing money seems to be a very great idea.

well if you already have an issue with financial concern better not to try dealing with gambling to remove some stress while enjoying because the later part of your activity will just added more problem that most of the gamblers faces inside this activity as gambling create addiction and that would
just cause you much bigger problem.

I don't even thing it is appropriate to recommend to someone good on money to gamble to release stress because he might end up compounding stress. No one naturally would take it lightly to loose money and be happy about it and so if you feel stressed or whatever problem you might find yourself in i will state emphatically that go to the movies or elsewhere and stay clear off gambling.

It would really be much better if you divert your mind into those things which doesnt involve on risking money because same as you said if we do gamble on those boredom or frustration,stress times and we do lose up money the emotion that we are experiencing on those time will surely compile even more which would result even more frustrations and depression.

Depends if you are addicted in my opinion because if you can control yourself and you know the limits your bank capital, then you would not bet so much that you could lose everything. It is fun to gamble because it is definitely not boring but you could develop anger issues if you always lose and still play, you would just stress yourself out in the long run.

5 years ago i lost my girlfriend , that one person who mattered the most in my life and that i was going to propose to her just a while later .
Drinking , smoking blunts and gambling were my only resort . I spent days and days in my room without even getting out , showering or eating . All what i did was to get high or to gamble . Running dice for hours and hours , or following sport games to gamble on them, it happened to me that i made bets on teams that i never heard speaking about them before , or i didn't even know in which country they play . I lost lots of money and didn't wake up until my i went bankrupt and couldn't even pay my own rent . Only then i stopped and got back into normal life again .
Gambling won't make things better , it will just make it worse .

Thank you for sharing your story. That just goes to show that no vice can help in any problem. I hope people read your story and that they learn that gambling can never be something that would remove the bad feelings and situations we have. The best way to deal with any problem is accepting it and doing something to solve that problem. Basically, gambling was just intended for fun and entertainment and never something to relieve them of their problems.

Sometimes I do gamble to kill time. I usually visit a nearest land-based casino in our location once-twice a month though sometimes whenever I got out early in the office, I need to wait for my wife to arrive since we are going home together. Normally our shift ends at 6 p.m. but sometimes I attend meetings outside the office and after that, I'm free to go. So most of my meetings start at 2 p.m. and end around 3 or 4, I need two wait for at least 2 hours for my wife and I easily get bored so while waiting for her I do slots or a game of poker until she arrives.

Complete contradiction, if gambling was meant for fun and entertainment then i guess it should have been able to help him forget about his problems then, but because you derive no fun and entertainment that could have helped him with his stress and depression he got worse. Gambling is for the serious ones and not for games so be ready when you venture into gambling else look for an alternative because you will keep loosing with this mentality

Absolutely not, I do think that is a recipe for disaster. I think using things like gambling, drinking etc. To escape from feeling real emotions is an incorrect way of doing things. I think especially when grieving, stay away from gambling. Deal with the pain first no matter how difficult. Then when all that is sorted you can gamble away. I believe that people who have an unhealthy relationship with gambling, it starts in instances like this.

Indeed. Excitement and sometimes greed drives me to gamble. A grieving and lonely person would not gamble but will drink and stay all alone instead while boredom and troubled is possible.

In fact, there are so many other activities to kill boredom than gambling. Sure, gambling can be a lot of fun if you see it as fun but no one likes losing and that is the plain truth. Seeing it as fun can only one accept that fact but to try to kill boredom with gambling is like trying to clean your eyes from dirt with pepper. It will be more like adding sadness to one's boredom.

Well, i am not a gamble when i am alone, and also i am not playing gambling when i feel trouble, boredom and grief and any thing more as you explain. No, i play gambling only when i have extra money, and especially i prefer to play gambling when my friends get together with me. It is our fun time to play gambling, because you know gambling mean fun and entertainment, then i follow it.     

You're a nice gambler, thinking about a clear mind is what makes you a calm feeling as you play. I don't gamble too just to escape these things because reality sucks, I'll gamble for this day and will try to forget those problems but later on it will come again to my mind and I have to face it. It's better not to do something like gamble just to escape these.

Sometimes I gamble because of boredom or because I'm procrastinating on doing something that needs to get done. But I also gamble for 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.

We should accept the fact that there are some people who find comfort in gambling like they think nobody can understand what they're going through and gambling is only the answer in all of their problems. And some find comfort through drinking liquor and some do stress eating and many more things just to cope up with their problems and it's fine but just don't do stupid things if you're doing your job or when you trade and gamble. Better to pick up your thoughts and get back with your life.

When we are still on these kind of state which we are stress,anger and other emotion related things we should not try to do things like trading and usual stuff because we will surely do things which is unusual since we are still out of our mind or not totally in control because of the things we do feel on that time.People do really have different ways on having a relief on their own boredom or frustrations.

That's gambling give in life to enjoy and good for past time,the chance of win is so low but the happiness that gambling bring is so sure even you lose here.Always play gambling for fun and for stress reliever that's it,the profit here is the additional only when you play because its so hard to win,try poker here its so much fun

Yeah I have gambled to escape worry, trouble, boredome, loneliness, grief or lose.  Sometime when we are at that stage we tried to forget things, and gambling in a casino is  one good way of diverting stuffs,   since it is created for entertainment, and it really serves its purpose. Though it might be a short time solution, I can say it will help a lot just not make ourselves addicted to it.

It's like our go-to action when you are feeling down or something. We do that in my opinion because we want to feel happy again and doing that would make yourself better and that's what we all want right? I agree with you that it's a short time solution or you could call it temporary happiness and that's just the start of it. You might get addicted to it in the long run and that's not good,

Yes I gamble when I feel bored, alone, when I am lonely, and gambling serves as my past time already. I found it effective that is why I keep doing it. But I do not do gambling just to escape my problems, escape worry, and most especially not to escape trouble. When I have problem, my mind is set in how to fix the problem. I cannot focus in any other thing or else for sure I will just lose the game and of course my money too. I want first to solve my problem before I have fun. For me, priority first. If I do not face it now, the next day I have to face it. So there is no way to escape.

Actually gambling without real money can help you relieve stress and you also won't loss anything from your pocket or as many casino offers free money through faucets to try out their games, you can play there with amount claimed from faucet to get rid of boredom or troublesome situation.

I do the same and haven't harmed my bank account but yes playing with real cash to get entertained is not the wise decision.

I do not gamble to escape worry, trouble, boredom, loneliness, grief of lose. I only gamble if my friends ask me to play after work because it is more enjoyable to play gambling if you do not have any problems in life because if you have might get more depressed if you lose your money in gambling.

Right, but there are some people who find solace in gambling. We're lucky we don't have the urge to look for gambling whenever we feel something. Some people are like that and seriously they need help

When people are not hard to admit is that they gamble the most when they feel emotional. THey feel the need to be in a position where they put themselves at a risk. Wherein they want to fee powerful again by betting kn that shrednof luck that can make them feel they have power of that destiny.

I agree this kind of people somehow, is addicted to gambling.  They became hooked and always look to play in gambling games.  They are having a hard time fighting the urge to gamble.  It will only give them negative effect so they should start reflecting and thinking how to deal with such behavior and urge to gamble.  It is also best if they can ask  for guidance and how to avoid or control their urge to gamble so much.

Usually i gamble or play online casino when im bored at home and i got nothing to do, playing at an online casino seems to be my hubby now.
Being alone at home when the kids are at school and my wife is of to work, only on my rest day a gamble and not everyday.

Yes, for a time I did gamble because I nearly lost myself because Im so bad I did terrible things and I just want to hid and go faraway from everyone like a fresh start but of course there are more sane things to do than gambling like playing basketball alone, going to the gym, punching the punching bag and stress eating.

Nope on me, and not at all to willing when I feel a bad feels I run to gambling, I prefer go out from home like a traveling or visiting some beautiful places to look at with my friends.
I'm basically not a gambling addict, and my interest is so small to touch a gambling.

No, fortunately, I do not have the urge to gamble when I feel bad. When I feel bored or ill-tempered, I prefer watching tv shows or tv series rather than gambling. I only gamble when I feel good and then only when I believe in winning. The latter sounds certainly strange, but sometimes I have a very good feeling if today is a bad or good day to push the slot.

As I used to say that all human beings are different in nature and we all look at same thing from different angle. For some gambling is fun, some consider it as a way of earning money, others find relief in it  and then there are people like me who think consider it as useless activity which kills time, money and energy But I have never criticize any gambler. We all have the freedom to live our lives the way who want to.

Gambling is one of my favorite activities to escape from my problems and worries. I do it regurally with my friends, almost every weekend. It a big relief for me and i share the best moments with my friends. But, even tho i do it regurally, i always set limits for myself to avoid falling in addiction trap. It's just for fun and money is a secondary reason for me.

Well, i do gambling as my fun for pastimes and to escape from being boredom, for me times run fast if ever i play to gamble and i oftenly bet in small amount just for the seek of having more excitement and generally i always threat gambling as for fun only.

The very first thing happen with the every gambler including me is started with the reason to escape worry, trouble, boredom, loneliness and grief or lose all of it in every moment when you try for gambling. Most of the people come out of the habit of gambling which the started. But few people addict of gambling.

yes,most of the time. Most of the gambler have this common reason. They need a temporary happiness to overcome such boredom.

Same as I am, I gamble when the time comes i get bored in life, gambling makes me happy and comforts myself to forget about any problems I have ever been thinking about. I'm just spend a little bit of money to played any gamble game for just comfort myself purposes, as soon as I forget about the problems i had.

Yes I have tried once actually with my friends just keep myself busy for a couple of hours with my friends while I wait for our other friend who's going back here in the Philippines.

Good you have identified your remedy but my case is different because if I gamble to release such stress and problems and then I end up loosing from the gamble I'm going to be a lot more worse and stressed than before.

I use gambling only to be entertained and when I'm bored. Using gambling when you are worrying, in trouble or in grief won't help, it might worsen your situation especially when you lost a game. Better stay out of gambling when you are experiencing bad emotions even if it is for fun.

Better to find other source of entertainment because if you are not feeling well then gambling will add more stress so instead of enjoying you will find additional problem, we can deny the fact that we will be affected of a mistake that we will going to experience while playing and not doing any focus then loses our money.

I play because i want to experience their site like to know the strategy and to learn knowledge about their site so i can use that in different ways like in campaigns here or in some different gambling site also.I think we play to earn not in some feeling like boredome or anything like that so i say we play to learn and to earn that's all we want in life don't think negative and always move forward for the future.

Reffering to the title, you are probably suffering huge problems (mentaly ones) and that is why you are gambling in order to escape from the reality for a while. Just be careful, maybe gambling is going to be the first thing, but we all know that no one can scape from those addictions.
Most of times you are doing it to stop your stress, but that is not a good way to do it so.
And the worst thing about this, you an easily get introduced to drugs if you start doing it as a hobby... It is preocupant, maybe gambling is the first thing, but who knows if you try to escape from the reality just by smoking or using drugs?

oh thats a big yes for me that i gamble also to escape from my worries and boredom because when i gamble i am just thinking for how could i win and it finds me sometimes so fun and relaxing when i gamble and this could brings me a lot of enjoyment, because i found my troops in gambling and makes me happy.

Its good, if gambling give your enjoyment and escape you from your worries and boredom. Actually gambling has a real meaning to give the entertainment and enjoyment to the gamblers and when we have it from gambling then we are real gamblers becasue we get fun from it. But you could see mostly people use gambling only for making money.

Same here,i did not do it i'd rather to be alone than gambling i know what is the bad effect if i do it. If i feel bad what i do to escape my worries is to go somewhere that make me relax like watching the beautiful scene of the overlooking mountains or beaches with my favorite foods. I saw some of my family members that been addicted in gambling and their lives are not that good and i don't want that happen to me.

They really used to gambling thats why gambling in their self is not entertainment anymore it is for profit and it is all about money and profit only. That is really the right meaning of gambling but now a days a lot of gamblers getting addicted to it and alot of gamblers also ruin their life because of it.
Talking about my self i do play really gambling just to spend some bits  and also kill some time, we all know that if we won that is the best feeling ever but if you loss you will sad but that will bring an excitement to us thats why it is all about entertainment

I experience also that kind of thing when im feel boredom and when im alone. I do gamble just to have an happiness and just to entertain my self . Only to have more money and happines is the thing can make me more interested in gambling. Other people also like that so i dont need to ask my self because others can also have an experience like that.

I don't gamble now just for the entertainment value. There were times that I gamble when I'm bored too but I don't gamble when I'm in trouble. That will only add another problem that I've been dealing with if I'm on the loose and will gamble by that time. I don't want to let my gambling activity affected by gambling because it will just get worse.

 We can also say that gambling is also for entertainment and not only for making money or to earn money. There are some people keep on playing gambling because they seek joy, they seek happiness and they seek enjoyment because of all their worries, problems and stress in life that they don't know where did they seek the key and the answers on their problems. So they keep on playing gambling for just once they forget of all their problems and worries in life.

Sometimes yes, i guess most of the gamblers made this reason too, some just for leisure, some just want to kill time, and some also because of loneliness, made this as an escape trying to forget their problems not knowing that gamble is not really the solution, and there are few also who mean for profit only, and made it in a conservative way...

I also feel that OP, i always go to gambling whenever i feel bored, lonely and when i have so much free time i don't know what to do. That's why i always come back to gambling even i lose much money on it. Tbh it's a really bad habbit and i need to stop it right now but it's really hard to do.

Yes, the reason why I gamble sometime is just to have fun and to escape from the real world and of course to make money but I have to admit that the happines that gambling brings wont last for long and I steel end up loosing and broke so I think gambling is not a good idea for your loneliness.

That is a terrible reason to gamble, that is no different than those that drink in order to forget about their troubles and we know what happens to people like that instead of escaping their problems they only generate even more problems for themselves and their families.

While winning can make you feel better during hard times, losses can depress you further.
It's a gamble to gamble during depression and hard times. I would rather not take this gamble and do something safer to drive away my agony/mental pain.
As for boredom, as far as you're gambling what you're ready to loose, you will always drive away boredom, its a great way to deal with it if you are into gambling. I still find myself betting faucets/ playing poker with game money just to pass some time.

I do gambling games when I feel bored or sad and that's all I do for fun, if I play my mind and my boredom becomes lost and will become a pleasure. because in my opinion by playing gambling my mind focus on playing gambling.

I haven't been doing it for that reasons. I guess it will worsen the situation if you loose in gambling. However, there are really people who will do it. Maybe because they can express it through gambling and they'll feel better. I think the usual reason among the rest listed is boredom. They play to enjoy and interact with others.

None of what you've said is my reason why i'm doing gambling and I guess the same as others. Who will play gambling in the state of worry? LOL. Gamblers do gambling for one main reason, and that is because of profit.

Personally, no.
But those who does gamble to escape from life's preasure, are suspected to be addicted for gambling.

When life closes the gates on you, it makes you feel like you have nothing to lose, it can be really danagerous to start gambling at that life status.
Why?
Because when somebody feels like he has nothing to lose, then he can end up doing really stupid things, such betting on money that he can't afford to lose or to sell his house so he can bet or more.

im not addicted to gambling at all but i do gamble on some time because i just want to try if i can possibly double up my remaining balance on my bitcoin wallet and i believe there were also people who gamble not because they are addicted to it but because they want to earn a profit out of it. however most of the gamblers i know such as my friends and nieghbors are said they are just gambling because they are bored and to past the time.

None of the OP’s suggested reasons applies in my case. My view is people who gamble for such reasons, with the exception of boredom are addicted to it. Everyone gets difficulties in life and I don’t think that gambling is the way out, although I understand that this can be difficult for some to understand if they are in that situation.  I feel it’s very dangerous territory when people turn to gambling as a way of filling a void in their social life.

You are completely wrong , there some people who gamble for the sake of entertainment as they know it is the real gambling.
When you do gamble for profit only i think there is something wrong on you.
People usually gamble because they don't know what to do to spend their spare time and once gambking crossed in your mind , you will straight to go for it.

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.

same here, i only play gambling just because im bored and i want to past the time. i dont really care at all if loose or win because that isnt my priority in the first place but if i do win then ive always decided to limit myself and i make sure that i dont go overboard in order for me too secure some of my winnings. im also addicted to online games on the past but ever since i discovered online gamlbing using cryptos i find it really addcitive and fun due to the fact that you are using a virual currency without real money involved.

I so rarely post here in the gambling section, as it's a cesspool of degenerate gamblers and shitposters, with no hope whatsoever of redemption or reform--but I totally gotta answer here.  My thing isn't casino gambling or even crypto dice sites, as most of that shit is illegal where I live (thanks, US).  But I've gotten caught up in shitcoin trading before, and yes it was to alleviate all of those things, mostly boredom. 

That's how it goes for most gamblers, I'd say, just like alcoholics start drinking socially, with friends--and then it progresses to blackout drunkenness alone in the bathroom, with vomit splattered everywhere and no memory of the previous 72 hours...you know how it goes.  All of this shit begins innocently and then goes horribly awry.  That's why I don't currently gamble with crypto, or even crap like scratch tickets.  Way too addictive.

Yes definitely tried it before ,I was lonely and bored then out of nowhere I felt like I want to gamble just to pass my time.

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.

No but i know some who does. Sometimes they lose out ot track in life, lose hope and they just want their lives to be ruined totally. They drink alcohol, drugs, women at gambling. They dont want to plan anymore they just want to forget their demise so they spend time in gabling that would amuse them and forget.

I don't think that is fun at all and for anyone to risk all that for some entertainment in order to overcome grief or worry i think its not fair to him as a person and real counselling in a such a time should be the prescribed alternative rather than loosing 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.

I am personally gambling to release my stress that I had accumulated through the day. Gambling is my escape from the reality that. I am finding myself in the gambling games. I cannot imagine anymore any other mean which would make my problems disappear. Happiness and the entertainment are the factors that the gambling is providing for me and with the limitation of my bankroll, I can utterly enjoy my plays.

I gamble alone most of the time and also with the support of my wife which is sometimes watching my games and even replacing me in the making the bets. The gambling is our replacement for the real-life problems.

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.

I’ve never tried doing it because i know that a simple hobby can be an addiction so beforehand i already warned my self before it is late and regret. But i know a lot are doing it. When they are bored and angry or broken hearted, they spend their time in casino at other gambling places.

Well people find different outlets for their emotions and sometimes a simple.hobby can become an outlet when they exprience extreme emotions such as depression or stress. It can't be helped that gambling can prove to be a good absorber of these though we all know the long term effect won't be good.

Because gambling gives extra money to every winner, so it's natural that many people want to double the money with gambling. But keep in mind also that gambling is basically a game, so do not think about the side about profit alone, but also make gambling as a tool to entertain yourself when bored.

I think most of us here have in the past or even regularly gamble to try & solve boredome. It’s the other emotions mentioned in the OP that can take ahold of people & chew them up though.

Please only gamble with amounts you can afford to lose, it’s just not worth putting your finances in jeopardy.

Look as a gambler all i need is a reason to play it, i'm bored i'll gamble, and that gives me the trill like anything and i'm very excited, kind of i get horny when i play, so for me it's needed to control my sexual desires. Then ya i did gamble a crazy amount when i broke with my X, it was the best thing i ever did, i had something to look forward to, and i really recommend it.

No, only gamblers who are playing for fun will come to gambling when they are bored of some routine work. But most of the gamblers who are aiming to earn money from these games will come every day and for them no reason required. It all depends on what people are expecting from these games and me will go to gambling only when I'm bored and no other options to go out to spend my time with other activities.

This happened to me years ago, I am totally broke for some reason and it leads me to gamble and have some fun but I still managed myself not to be greed because my real purpose is just to have fun. Luckily I survived and didn't get addicted too much on gambling. People should know how to bounce back after a failure, its not bad to have some fun when you're broke but always look for the positive side because opportunities is everywhere.

I gamble in good mood.
But I seem to gamble more when I'm drunk or on a big loss. That's the situations when I lost most (more than I could affford).
If a gambling is controlled by emotions, you'll likely be the person of the day for the bookie or the operator.

I think what you are trying to do is recovering your losses, not just gamble with the efforts of entertainment. What you should do is focus on the show, not the profit. More than you could afford is probably the last thing you should do because you can lose everything and you would know what's next.

Then, that is the worst thing that you can do, and if you are alone it is the worst thing that you can do, maybe you are going to feel tempted about making a huge bet and you suddenly lose all your money and you do not realize that. That is why i do not like to gamble when i am alone.

Yes i did and still do. The main reason why i gamble is because i felt lonely and tired but most of the time, it is my way to bond with my husband. We played a little then grabbed the opportunity for a free buffet of food and drinks in the casino  :). Because in our country almost all casinos offered foods and drinks to the players and i don't know if other country also did.

Yes i tried but didnt work out. Because i dont have much money to waste. I gambled hoping to win because i badly need some cash, big cash but it turns out i lose the money. I regret that time when i did it. I realized gambling is not actually the answer of our problems. But there are people turn into gambling if they are depressed, i was thinking good thing they have plenty of money to waste but for those who dont have much, im not sure they will gamble.

It would never work out especially if there's something bothering in your mind or when you're not in a good mood because you don't have any focused on the things you're playing. Instead of relieving your stress it could worsen your current situation.

That's the point how will you focus when there's something bothering you, either you are just thinking to have some fun but still the focus behind your mine will still be on the things that you really into, I think its better to find other source of enjoyment instead of playing inside gambling as you will waste your time and the tendency of becoming engage to much that will lead into addiction.

I think that depends with what kind of games you are playing in casino. In my case i was just playing slot machines. Slot machines no need to focused a lot unless you are playing table games like poker or bacarat. Those table games need focused because you opponet can read you face reactions. In slot machines its the machines rolling but still you will lose in no time.

This is always the reason why do gambler do treat it on different way because it do really give the chance for its player to earn money while they do play fast and easy money  but without even thinking that they might able to lose up money too in a fast way. Winning on first bets will really boost up the craving on having more winnings which would result negatively later on.

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.

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.

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.  ;D Been in such situation before and it really stresses me that time. :D

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.

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.

personally I started learning about gambling when the war started in my country  . I was 16 at that time
before the war I used to hang out a lot with my friends , I was staying home only to eat or sleep
but when war started people tended to stay at home more , so found myself bored and started playing zynga poker on Facebook and after that decided to dig it more and learn about the game

so I started gambling because I found myself with a lot of time to spend

No i don't. Though gamble is a means to amuse everyone but doesn't work on me. I gamble occassionally and always make sure that i am in my best mood before i went to a casino. Because how will i enjoy and be focus on my games if there are somethings that just kept on running inside my mind?

By playing online poker can forget for a moment the problem and a sense of saturation and tired that can lead yourself to stress. Saturation can be overcome about a variety of ways, but many sensations are felt when eliminating saturated by playing poker online gambling. In saturated circumstances it is very difficult for happy people

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ;)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 .

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.

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.
