Gambling as an escape

[Jody.Drummer]

To gamble more responsibly, a person must have control over the desire to make money regularly because there is indeed no opportunity to make money in that way in gambling. When the desire to gamble, to be more controlled, allocate sufficient funds and stop when the money runs out, so that gambling activities will not have a bad effect on them. I make some considerations when gambling and usually allocate sufficient funds from the percentage of income at work that I get so that it does not affect the fulfillment of other needs for my family or myself.

Gambling as an escape will not provide a solution that actually adds new problems when we experience defeat and will eventually deal with loans to cover the money spent on gambling.

Self control will be needed by someone who wants to playing gambling responsibly. They must be able to control themselves by not over playing gambling and manage their funds by just allocation some money to gambling. They will not trying to use more money to playing gambling because they know the effect to that so they just use the money they can afford to lose. They know that they must avoids to use gambling as an escape because that will not be a right solution for them and even they can becomes addicted to gambling easily. Gambling as an escape just provide more problem to them besides of losing the money and addicted to gambling but they can ruin their life with their family.

Basically, we should bet money with an amount that we can afford to lose or lose, this kind of behavior is indeed only owned by a few people who gamble because those who gamble irresponsibly tend not to be able to accept when the money they bet is lost in gambling even though losing money in gambling is something that is certain to happen but they still can't accept it of course that is wrong behavior because it will make them continue to be motivated to gamble again and again but does not change the defeat factor to be smaller.
For people who think wisely, of course they will not make gambling an escape when they get a serious enough problem, wise people when they find a problem they will find a way to overcome it and if they really need a break then they will do something that is not risky while if gambling is risky, it is not only the risk of losing money but it is possible to make the situation even more messy.

The problem is that many people consider gambling as a sustainable way to earn money for a long time, but at the same time do not have an adequate gaming system. This means that they do not have a clear strategy, there is no risk management, there is no management of the size of bets, there is no good system for choosing gaming platforms. They have nothing but the desire to play and have fun. Of course, for many people it would be tempting to have a stable income combined with gambling. But gambling and stability are incompatible things. Well, or in order to combine them, you need a lot of experience. In fact, many players are only engaged in the fact that they gain this experience.

Many people played gambling without a clear strategy and good risk management, so that in the end they are actually trapped in a vicious circle and it is difficult to get out, I think gambling can be very dangerous even those who initially only trying for entertainment are often addicted after getting their first win, it is undeniable that often gambling sites pamper their players with the ease  for winning at the beginning of the game,  But in the end bookies are no different from vampires who end up sucking everything we have  , I never will not ban those who gamble but I just want to emphasize that self-control is very important for us to have if we really want to gamble although as entertainment, in my opinion gambling can be a fun entertainment if done wisely and within reasonable limits,  however, if we are has caught up in gambling then it will be difficult for us to escape

To escape from the vicious cycle you have to adopt many methods and be strategic and also consider gambling as a form of entertainment. Bookies are able to sense how addicted you are and accordingly begin to absorb from you and eventually begin to suffocate you. Be aware of your gambling habits and review how you can control yourself without finding a solution by not playing. Yes gambling is going to be dangerous for those who are not able to limit their money and time.

By having your confidence in gambling and making your decisions according to the situation you can reduce the tendency to lose extra money. Yes gambling can be a fun pastime if you keep yourself free from potential pitfalls and ensure proper use of allotted money and time. Trying to escape from gambling can be more dangerous for you and if you don't stay calm, you may have a mental breakdown.

You are certainly right and I do not recommend using a casino every day to relieve stress, as well as poker and of course betting. All these activities, when used so often, often cause addiction, and therefore I recommend playing on weekends, or even better, every two weeks. To relieve a small level of stress. If a person is incredibly tense every day after work, then only a change of job will help him.

No, you can play, but very carefully. Not even every weekend. Why? As you already wrote, it leads to addiction, and also to the loss of money. There is a desire to win back what has already been lost. I fell into exactly this trap many years ago. It got to the point that I took out a loan from the bank to satisfy my unbridled passion. But at that time I had problems with work. Naturally, I lost all the money, and I had nothing to pay it back with. A terrible time came for me then. I had to go through so much that I remember those years with horror.

Yes, that is a common misconception held by most gamblers, especially beginners, which in the end, this misunderstanding is certain to trigger addiction, so in the end, instead of getting the income they expect, what happens is the opposite, meaning they actually lose a lot of money, and in fact, even though they have various preparations as you have mentioned, such as strategy, risk management and the size of each bet, gambling can never be used as a place to earn income.

To multiply money, yes, it is possible, but only occasionally when you are lucky and in the long run, the situation will usually reverse, meaning that the number of losses is usually much greater than the wins, so get rid of all unrealistic expectations in gambling, it will only have a lot of bad impacts on your life.

I used to use gambling as an escape from reality. I also went through a period of gambling addiction, a time when I was incredibly irrational and considered gambling as a source of constant income (and not as entertainment).

Now all this is in the past. Yes, I still love to re-watch the James Bond movie "Casino Royale". I like the atmosphere of a traditional casino, men in tailcoats, charming girls in cocktail dresses, serious and silent dealers, the atmosphere of luxury and wealth.... I am still as romantic as before!

However, in relation to online casinos I maintain a pragmatic approach, I carefully study all the terms of the game and gambling for me is no longer an escape from reality.

[Tungbulu]

The important thing that we should aware is how we can control ourselves in gambling so that will not gives a bad effect to us. Many people already lose their control over gambling so that is why we must really be careful when playing gambling. We don't have to use gambling as an escape from our busy day but only playing gambling occasionally. That will be better for us to release our stress and relieves from our busy day for a while. Besides that, we don't have to use gambling too often to prevents the other problems that can occurs because that can effects to our life which we will difficult get out from gambling easily. Once we can use gambling properly, we will not have a problem playing gambling because we know that gambling is just for having fun.

I think the take home point should be, never use gambling as your ONLY means of escape from stress or boredom. I used this term because sometimes, gambling can actually be a pretty good and effective way to relieve stress, but not when you make it habitual and an everyday activity one should still have other ways to relieve stress or clear your head so that you won’t have to always depend on gambling for that, because when one dedicates too much time to gambling, it then begins to get really difficult to control one’s self and that’s how addictive gambling starts. So it’s better to avoid it than sorting for means to quit it.

[lizarder]

The point is to be a responsible gambler you can only do it when you do not make winning your main priority and also only when you understand and know about what and how gambling really is, or maybe I can also say that the ease of controlling yourself and making yourself a responsible gambler also depends on what and how your purpose of gambling is.

Yes, making gambling an escape will most likely only have a bad impact, because usually an escape is an action with the intention and scenario to vent annoyance due to something else and if the place you choose is gambling then of course it will be very risky.

Back to each person individually in dealing with gambling and maybe control will be formed when they prepare themselves much more responsibly in spending money in gambling. Expecting consistent wins in gambling is impossible and that's why it takes control in handling emotions to be more responsible. There is no hope of making money consistently in gambling so getting involved in it is much better just for fun.

People say escape from the gambling they are doing but they don't realize that it will actually cause problems. Gambling must be in accordance with the prepared budget and you can control yourself to stop when the budget runs out, so that people can be more responsible for the gambling they do.

But What about you? Do you also use gambling to escape from stress of the real world?

From stress, grief and failures, one should turn not to gambling or alcohol or even drugs, but to religion. It just seems like an anachronism to many in the modern world, but this is the only thing that can really help a person. Gambling is entertainment, adrenaline, a chance to win a large sum of money, but definitely not a refuge from adversity.

But what if these troubles are connected with lack of money and boredom (nothing to do)?

The only thing that can help a person escape from adversity is a re-focus of attention/activity. This can be religion, alcohol, gambling or anything. It all depends on the degree of passion for this type of activity. The issue of "destructive" hobbies, such as alcohol and gambling, is a separate topic for discussion. But purely theoretically, gambling is suitable for solving the problem of "escape". This is far from the best solution, but still, it works and in order to "endure" one problem, sometimes you have to create another. Like walking on the fine line of gambling, balancing between passion and winnings, as well as addiction and losses.

When we think of it as entertainment similar to a movie or something, we'll start spending occasionally, and we'll spend the money that is kept aside for time passes or fun and not the one that is essential for our daily lives. This is where the problem arises, and at some point, when the caretaker isn't able to manage the financial situation of the family automatically, there will be problems in the family.

As long as the money you will be spending is just a few extra bucks then I don’t think it’s such a problem to think of it as entertainment. Taking it seriously might even be worse because you would genuinely try to chase losses because the money you used is a serious amount. If we think that we can actually make serious money with gambling, we’d give everything we have if it meant having a bigger payout.

The point is if the money you called extra bucks are what you can not afford to lose, then there is no need for you to risk it on gambe because if you lose them all you will chase after it, and you might probably lose more or be in depts. However, a lot of gamblers (mostly the new gamblers) believed that gamble is were they can get quick and free money that's why they mostly put all their hopes on their tickets. Although gamble is for fun and you might probably win from it but the truth is that you do not need to put your hope on the games you stake.

One of the main mistakes on why people do really end up miserable with gambling on which they do really that believe on that this is something that they could really be able to sustain themselves.
This is the reason on why they do really put up themselves into hard situation specially on finances. On the moment that you do find yourself trying out to make gambling as a form of living
then you are really that bound into that inevitable thing on which losing up that huge amount of money. Gambling could really be that something that trying out to ease up some boredom
or simply escape from reality but it will really be just that like that and dont expect something that even more because this will really be just that make you desperate.

Of course, you can consider this issue in this way. By analogy with substitution therapy. This is used to treat drug addiction. Only in our example, a person wants to hide not from addiction, but from conditional grief. Will he be able to drown out his feelings and distract himself from them with gambling? Maybe. In the case of conversion to religion, this is guaranteed. Although, of course, a lot depends on the person himself.

Gambling is not just a bad way out of depression or boredom. It is literally the same as running down a hill. Yes, of course it is always fun to spend huge amounts of money and reassure yourself that there is a chance to win. But can money really bring happiness to a person in this case? I don't think so. It is not for nothing that statistics are full of stories about lucky people who won the lottery becoming even more unhappy because of money. And I believe that this is true.

Placing a bet with the money we can afford to lose is one thing that we must always remember so we can prevent the big loss. But many people forget this and just follow their instinct to place with more money. They think that playing gambling can be an escape to them from what they do so they can return to their daily activities after finish playing gambling. But that can gives them more problem because when they lose for some money, their minds will thinks about recovering their losses. That can makes them to keep playing gambling without stop and they will just regret when they see all of their money is gone. That is why we must be wisely when playing gambling and always remember that our reason for playing gambling is not as an escape from our routine activities but that will be just for relax and have fun for a while.

Many people played gambling without a clear strategy and good risk management, so that in the end they are actually trapped in a vicious circle and it is difficult to get out, I think gambling can be very dangerous even those who initially only trying for entertainment are often addicted after getting their first win, it is undeniable that often gambling sites pamper their players with the ease  for winning at the beginning of the game,  But in the end bookies are no different from vampires who end up sucking everything we have  , I never will not ban those who gamble but I just want to emphasize that self-control is very important for us to have if we really want to gamble although as entertainment, in my opinion gambling can be a fun entertainment if done wisely and within reasonable limits,  however, if we are has caught up in gambling then it will be difficult for us to escape

That will just gives them more problem without they realize because they will risk more and more money without thinks that can make them lose all of the money. They will difficult to get out from gambling and will gets addicted to gambling without knowing that they are one of the addicted person to gambling. It needs awareness from us to realize that gambling is just parts of our life and must not use gambling as an escape way. We know that gambling can tempt us easily to keeps playing gambling so we must be careful and always remember that we are playing gambling because we want to have fun. Yes, limitation will be the key for us to keeps aware and not trying to playing gambling more and more.

I think the take home point should be, never use gambling as your ONLY means of escape from stress or boredom. I used this term because sometimes, gambling can actually be a pretty good and effective way to relieve stress, but not when you make it habitual and an everyday activity one should still have other ways to relieve stress or clear your head so that you won’t have to always depend on gambling for that, because when one dedicates too much time to gambling, it then begins to get really difficult to control one’s self and that’s how addictive gambling starts. So it’s better to avoid it than sorting for means to quit it.

Yes, that is something that we must remember when we playing gambling so we don't have to gets more stresses and losing all of the money. We don't want to gets the same experience like other people which is lose the money so we must take care of ourselves and not lets the temptation calling us to return to casino. That is why we don't have to think gambling is an escape way from our daily activities because that will gives us more problems without we realizes. We can only use gambling as a way to have fun and enjoy our spare time so we can release the stresses and refresh our minds.

That is why we must be wisely when playing gambling and always remember that our reason for playing gambling is not as an escape from our routine activities but that will be just for relax and have fun for a while.

This should indeed be done, because by allocating money that we can afford to lose it is one of the right behaviors because if we are not previously prepared to lose the money we bet then it will be another story that will happen, when we are not prepared to lose it is possible that what will happen is that emotions will overflow when the results that occur do not match what we expected at the beginning, of course this triggers dangerous behavior such as loss of self-control.
Therefore, I myself do not recommend making gambling an escape from the many problems we experience, because this can trigger unwanted things as well as we know that this is a thing that has a serious risk when we make the wrong decision. In addition, I think that even though we can control ourselves well when gambling, we should not make gambling an escape, because there are also many other things that can be done which of course have lower risks.

[Tungbulu]

Yes, that is something that we must remember when we playing gambling so we don't have to gets more stresses and losing all of the money. We don't want to gets the same experience like other people which is lose the money so we must take care of ourselves and not lets the temptation calling us to return to casino. That is why we don't have to think gambling is an escape way from our daily activities because that will gives us more problems without we realizes. We can only use gambling as a way to have fun and enjoy our spare time so we can release the stresses and refresh our minds.

Yeah, when/I go we begin to see gambling as more than this, it becomes a problem for us, making us to welcome and accommodate other ideas on how to approach gambling, which of course we already know where all that ends. But when we realize that gambling is only an activity to help us relieve stress and refresh our minds probably after a long day, then we’ll be able to know just the appropriate amount of time and money that needs to go into gambling, because gambling won’t be fun anymore when we start losing more time and money than expected.

Yes, as I said before, responsibility in gambling depends on how someone deals with gambling and also depends on how they understand gambling, so we cannot fully know whether someone is truly responsible or not because often it is not visible but if you want to know then you can see how they react when they lose.
On the other hand, of course it is unreasonable to expect consistent wins in gambling, there are no consistent results in an activity that runs based on probability, and because we always advise others to make gambling a place of entertainment without making winning a priority.

I think a more appropriate idea is not to make gambling an escape but to make it a choice or option that you do considering that escape tends to always be a form of action to vent anger, and for the problem of its impact it depends on how you approach it.

[Frankolala]

The problem is that many people consider gambling as a sustainable way to earn money for a long time, but at the same time do not have an adequate gaming system. This means that they do not have a clear strategy, there is no risk management, there is no management of the size of bets, there is no good system for choosing gaming platforms. They have nothing but the desire to play and have fun. Of course, for many people it would be tempting to have a stable income combined with gambling. But gambling and stability are incompatible things. Well, or in order to combine them, you need a lot of experience. In fact, many players are only engaged in the fact that they gain this experience.

It's impossible for any gambler to use gambling as sustainable means for a long time even if he has a good strategy, because your strategy will only work temporarily and losses will come after. It's better that a gambler does not rely solely on making profit from gambling, because the purpose of gambling is for fun and it is more on luck than any strategy or skill. For this reason bankroll management is very important so that you can limit your losses, because losses are inevitable.
