Is gambling becoming appealing because modern life is getting more stressful?

[ovcijisir]

Have you ever think that online gambling is more appealing because in this modern time, we have more stressed in our lives?

Sort of people going to online gambling because they want to escape the hardship of life even for just a few hours? And as we what relief, control, and escape? And so we gamble not just to win money, as this is the basic of gambling. But rather,

• to stop thinking
• to feel that adrenaline rush
• to escape anxiety

Do you agree?

I would argue that modern life is getting more stressful, as I believe that our ancestors led much more stressful lives than us. They were much more dependant on the weather when they grew their crops and if harvest failed they faced hunger and possibly death during the winter. Also the countries were constantly at war and war crimes comitted were horrible. Even at peace their lord or king could commit any crime possible on his peasants and faced no penalty for that. So no, I believe that stress today is more self-imposed and much less than it was before.

Yes, it is we who make such a life such. Our ancestors did not know of such a state when hold a position with high leverage, and the slightest change in price can lead to liquidation. And of course, it is difficult for them to imagine the stress level of a player when he puts the whole pot on red in roulette)

Everything about gambling boils down to making profit for a lot of gamblers. Hardship makes people feel that gambling is an escape route out of poverty. This is why I feel that the population going into gambling is increasing.

If you're not a gambler, you wouldn't care about the adrenaline rush that attracts you to gambling. However, some people gamble for other reasons and not because of profit.

Most gamblers always want to get big profits from big gambling, whether it's to buy the things they want like thinking “ah I want a motorcycle, I want to multiply the money in gambling” things like this do not happen a little in the environment of gamblers, And if they lose then lose the money they have they are disappointed and chase the money they have lost like thinking “I have to get my money yesterday lost in this gambling” until finally get the winnings with the amount he wants but thinks again “I think I need more than gambling” and it will lose all the money and in the end regret that they have chased the loss that deep, not because it never comes back but there is also greed that makes the wound deeper.

I think that OP regarded gambling as a stress relief activity, but if one gambles too much in trading or poker it will only multiply the stress one has in his life. OP stated that today we have so much stress(we can argue about that) that many use gambling as stress relief - which can also lead to much higher stress levels if used irresponsibly. Struggling with debts and addiction IS stressful.

[Vaculin]

Know the fact that people only gamble to make more money and gain profits, only few are doing it for simply entertainment. However, those who gamble for entertainment purposes do not literally mean that they are stressed in real life, they just want to balance work and leisure so they start to explore gambling as well as part of their life's thrill and leisure.

But I also those people who resort to gambling when they are stressful. It'll be good if they know how to control their emotions when they're winning or when they're at loss, but if they're not, surely they will gamble and only end up having losses.

It's highly inadvisable to use gambling as a stress reliever, as you've already mentioned. This is evident in the random nature of wins and the greater chance of losing. Winning, of course, is the key to stress relief, but winning in gambling isn't easy to achieve. However, the sheer number of people gambling today is evident due to its ease of access.

And if you're looking to relieve stress, it's best not to gamble. It carries the risk of triggering negative reactions. Gambling should be avoided if the goal is to relieve stress, it won't work so well, in my opinion, it will only put us in a bad position.

As we become knowledgeable, we find out that life is full of competition. We stress our minds thinking about tomorrow and how to win the challenge every day, which our ancestors didn't have to do.
Yes, we make this kind of stressful life because of our desires, but I believe it is worth it. Unfortunately, at some point, it is over already because our greed is trying to control our minds, and we are no longer getting satisfaction. And the problem is that most of us don't want to accept defeat.

I will rather watch match and refused to gamble than gamble and thinks I'm going to be stress relieve. Gambling can add more stress to you if you are not winning but it can be fun when you are winning. However, it's not everytime that you gamble you get to make a win, your number of trials of lose can be more than the on you made when you win but as a risk taker,  your return will on gambling do exceed your risk unless if you are very bad at executing gambling risk management.

If you feel like gambling do it and have the fun, if you want to do things that are going to be stress free do them and have more off screen time, just accept it that you can't gamble and think you are been stress's relieved, unless you don't want to accept the reality of gambling.

Yes life was more difficult at the time but online gambling did not exist so there was no way for them to claim to be using it to help escape from their stress but they probably had their alternatives, alot of them went towards religion and also alcohol was something at the time so most just wasted away drinking themselves to death, life might be easier now but we weren't there during their time so we personally do not know what it felt like but our modern hardships are real to us and most people use gambling as a way to escape it and that's a fact.

Again,I think that there are better and healthier ways to relieve stress such as playing sports, hiking, gardening or other outdoor activities. Like I previously said, gambling can lead to much bigger problems if not exercised with caution and I'm not sure how good stress reliever it really is.

Comparing with the cross eras, the eras have their way to get out of the strain of life, yet deciding to make digital speculation the answer to the challenge is a deadly error to the psychological strength. We should acknowledge that the addictions of current technology generation are much more manipulative as compared to conventional escape of the past considering that it is unlimited in the speed of accessibility. We should never allow ourselves to be caught in the cycle of false hope because we will just end up increasing the economic strain, hence we should find healthier ways of dealing with the situation in order to be resilient.

I think it has more to fo with making money than it does about stress. When we can say online gambling helps with stress is due to the convenience it provides by removing the need to go for a betting shop or center to get your bet registered. Aside from that, Gambling is more or less a quick escape to try a shot at better life and I do think that gambling is good for the money when you don't let it start to affect your life in a negative way.

Because if you will unwind, I don't think it is good to go to gambling sites. Because if you have less money, and you go to gambling, I would say, the chance to lose your money is very high. So I don't think it is smart to gamble when you want stressful life. Maybe other options like hiking or other outdoor activities.
If you want less stress life, find better alternatives other than gambling where losing money is not part of it. Or at least spending some would give you rejuvenation or feeling refreshed. Otherwise, I don't think gambling would offer your less stress if your money depends on the outcome of your bets.

I agree to some extent, life is more stressful now and online gambling is always one click away, for some people it is not about money but about shutting the brain off for a while, the problem starts when that escape becomes a habit instead of a break.

That is why, people should take gambling to a game of fun and entertainment but before they do that, they should check if they will capable of handling the pressure that comes with gambling, especially if its not going as they planned.

That's the basis of it, games are for entertainment, they're meant to be enjoyed I know you spend money, but you have to know how to do it because emotions come into play, and emotions can lead us down paths we shouldn't take You can fall into addiction, you can fall into a cycle of spending and spending money without seeing results, because a game isn't for generating income, it's for generating fun.

Online gambling is more appealing but that doesn't mean we are more stressed in our lives. They must treat gambling properly and not escape from problems through gambling. Gambling is not a way to solve your life hardships, anxiety, or even stress. If you don't follow this guide, you will get deeper into gambling without seeing the way out. Gambling is just one way to have fun among many others. If you want to relieve stress, you can take a rest and that is a better medication than playing gambling.

It's a mistake to gamble to relieve stress or solve problems, especially financial ones. While there are potential profits, there's no guarantee of success, and the random nature of the winnings makes it impossible to solve financial problems. You're right, if you want to relieve stress, it's better to just rest or perhaps seek pleasure, such as vacationing or traveling.

I agree with you because gambling in it's entirety boils down to winning and making profits no matter the high risk involved in it people still gamble to make profits from it, though the hardship in the country has made many people venture into gambling because they want means to survive the economic situation in the country and we all tend to gamble our way out of poverty and starvation we face currently in the country.

Gambling seems to be appealing this time because one has the chances of winning money and it's bad when people get addicted to it but in a way you can't really blame people that gets addicted to gambling because of the hardship and the little salary they earn is no longer enough for their expenses so they have to look for means to survive and gambling is there for them to pick their phones and bet in other to win and sort themselves out, so the modern life has made gambling attractive as people seek for alternative to better their lives.

Gambling is nothing new, in fact its probably one of the oldest forms of entertainment on the planet. I don't think it is any more special or common now, but obviously there will be slight peaks and troughs as gambling companies swerve their way through ever changing regulatory frameworks. Take America for example, for most of the last few decades it had pretty tight restrictions on the form of sports betting that could take place and how online casinos could operate. That is one of the reasons that Las Vegas lasted for as long as it did, because it had carved out a special place in laws and a lot of gambling money became concentrated there. Now the laws are relaxing, much like Cannabis laws, there is a massive free for all and betting companies are exploding exponentially at the new opportunities available. The trend in America is going up, which is why it'd appear more common.

Yesterday I watched the story of a gambler from Kazakhstan who said something quite surprising to me: he gambled and, as a result, developed an addiction because he was bored. Not because he had no money, and not because he wanted to escape reality, but because he was sitting at home with absolutely nothing to do. In my opinion, this is an incredibly stupid reason, because everyone needs to have a broad outlook and strive to develop themselves.

After all, only a fool gets bored alone, and I pity such people.

Yes because he would provably do unwanted decision that they might not notice especially if they are not paying close attention on what they are currently doing. Gambling is not really the best option to go if they want to find some activity to relieve their stress.

Since it might up on their problem knowing this activity aside from being risky this will also put them on bad situation which hard for them to control.

They better gamble when they are fine or in good condition away from trouble so they could really feel the real enjoyment.
