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

[giammangiato]

The standard gambler aims to win and make a profit, there are special cases that instead play for the adrenaline rush and the emotions that the game gives people.
Your reflection is partly true, gambling is seen as an escape, a salvation, in reality it is not and we all know this well.
If we turn the question into, what do you expect from gambling? What would you answer?
I would reply that I expect one day to receive a big win, so as to improve my working conditions and consequently my family's (I can't complain at the moment I'm fine) but living with fewer thoughts and with serenity I think is the best I can ask for.

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,

Gambling to me is a form of recreation, so I view gambling on the same page as visiting the park, going for a boat ride and playing on the beach. These are all recreational vehicles and gambling if approached responsibly can fit in as one of those activities.

• to escape anxiety

Gambling brings anxiety to the table for those who have less emotional control, so this is out of the list. I still believe that anxiety in gambling is more applicable to those who gamble excessively, there is more of relaxation for responsible gamblers since they put in amounts they can afford to loose.

Although gambling is primarily for entertainment, we know that most people play it to make money. However, for those who play it primarily for entertainment, it is more about emotional needs than financial needs. Gambling is a game that is very exciting and because of this attraction, people return to gambling again and again to temporarily get away from the frustrations and failures of their daily stressful lives. And those who want to play it only for entertainment do so mainly to reduce stress in their lives, but in reality, the number of people who gamble only for entertainment is very small.

Gambling for entertainment purposes has more emotional demands than financial demands, i agree with this. Gambling provides excitement or entertainment, which allows a gambler to temporarily forget about all the busyness of their professional life and enjoy the entertainment. If a person gambles for entertainment, he can enjoy the real fun or excitement of gambling, while if a person chooses to gamble to make money, it does not provide entertainment and increases the risk of losing additional money.

Actually, the purpose of gambling is for entertainment which is why it's done during your leisure time. When you understand this, you will enjoy every moment of life whenever, you are gambling because it relieves you from stress and sadness. People who gamble for profit do miss the benefits of gambling because they're carried away by chasing their losses.

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

No, gambling had been appealing ever since in ancient era, it is more stressful in ancient days than today.  People today live in comfort, unlike ancient times, when automation was yet to be discovered.  So I think the modern lives stress is not much harsher than the ancient one but yes people gamble to relieve stress, or try their luck to win a bigger amout of money.

Have we stopped to consider the possibility that maybe gambling is more appealing because our friends and colleagues can't stop talking about it?

When you become a spectator in a group discussion where the topic centers on the subject of gambling and you can't contribute, you know that something is obviously not fitting in properly and you would try to feel among and contribute to further discussions instead of just listening, by registering on a platform to have a personal experience.

This is how it becomes appealing and am sure alot of bored persons find gambling to be very helpful in such times, not necessarily because of any amount we stand to gain in the time frame we gamble.

Is gambling that complicated that you had to brainstorm for this options. Perhaps the environment you live in make you to see it that way, where I'm coming from they don't endorse gambling that way but then we like gambling because we see it a social life, all work without banter during the weekend is nothing without gambling, you either bet and make your team proud and have a banter material than do nothing in the weekend only got people to mock you later.

I gamble because I just want to bet, it's nothing personal and sometimes it can be as a result of love for the club and any day my team don't play and I see opportunity in some games, I bet on them to double some money. However, the money is not coming from a place of money making, it's coming from using an opportunity to make use of my skills and that's it. Anyone gambling other this reasons need help and gambling isn't what they should seek, they need to get a therapy session.

[sunsilk]

It cannot be denied that there are people who gamble because they are experiencing emotional problems and their way of letting go through with it is to gamble.

The specific activity of gambling makes them feel that they're able to release their stress and relieve it from the hectic things they've been going through.

So the advice of about gambling only for fun is applied to them. But they are not exempted to being addicted if they're not able to control it.

Gambling does not erase our hardships, instead it helps us get engaged in having fun, so that we don't think about the current predicament we are going through, we are gambling for fun, to maintain a healthy lifestyle, this is more beneficial to us, because we needed to have fun gambling, it gives us the positive vibes needed, but not a permanent solution to any lifetime challenge we might be passing through.

I agree with you on this, online gambling has become a means for people to escape reality but this isn't something that brings a positive results. gambling to stop thinking or escape anxiety only leads to dependency issues and one could get addicted easily when they start using it as a distraction. it is dangerous to use gambling as a way to cope with stress because even though you think that you are gambling responsibly you might begin to deviate from that pattern of gambling and getting addicted to it in the process

Some gamblers may fit this description. Life pressures from family, finances, work, or other matters can cause anxiety in a person. Those who live in environments where gambling is common are certainly very easily influenced to access gambling as a way to relieve stress and fatigue.
Of course, there are gamblers who continue gambling to make money. From the beginning, they gamble with the determination to win and keep placing bets. They do not think about solving life pressures; they gamble as if it were a hobby.

[348Judah]

People are more interested in gambling because of the fun nature in it, which when we gambles, we have the comfort and feels relieved because of the satisfaction in it, which will make us not to remember having any life challenge, but we must never forget that gambling is not the solution to permanently solving on what life is giving on us, instead, we have to devise our own means to find ways through and out of the issues we are facing.

[Rabata]

Gambling is for entertainment, if a gambler loses a few bets while gambling, he starts trying to recover that loss. Although it is entertaining in the beginning, it is no longer entertaining later. Who can stop themselves from gambling after losing in gambling. They can enjoy gambling. When gambling for profit, there is an attempt to recover the loss. Which keeps the gambler away from the value of the goal. Gamblers may gamble to relieve stress, but there must be a limit to it so that it does not become a cause of new stress later on.

Some players simply find relaxation in gambling after a hard week at work or family life, which can kill romance. Players try to escape reality, and if you add the influence of social media, where everyone is doing well and is on the beach with beautiful girls, then the desire to get rich quick becomes even greater, which is not surprising. In any case, I understand how this works, and therefore I won't rush to risk my money just because others are doing well or to relieve stress. Because it will be too expensive; it's better to find cheaper and more accessible options, like sports.

[Creeper0]

But the problem is that people are not gambling for entertainment or to calm their minds. Rather, they are gambling to make quick money, which is putting them in even greater danger. People are taking more risks and resorting to stress to relieve themselves.

The best way to relieve yourself from the stress of responsibilities and work for a while should be through activities that involve physical exercise. You can play sports or try to refresh your mind with a good story. There is no need to get into gambling if you cannot be responsible in gambling.

Recreation is in fact the actual reason gambling was created, and that’s why people tend to be way more safer when they choose to stick to that idea. Yes there are potentials of making some quick bucks from gambling but this isn’t something that should be our priority or main focus when we gamble because it’s always safer when emotions are completely excluded from from the picture, and like we know, the only way to make sure there’s no emotions involved by approaching it for the thrill it offers and not primarily for the financial benefits.

[Crypto Library]

If someone gambles for any other purpose than entertainment, I would say that it can never actually yield good results, but rather the results are more likely to be bad.
Now, if someone is depressed and gambles to a certain level to relieve their depression and get some entertainment, I don't think gambling will ever bring anything bad to them. However, if one gambles irresponsibly instead of responsibly due to depression, it will definitely end up bringing bad things to the person.

[Tigerheart3026]

gambling is a way to get relief of loneliness or anxiety who people’s working hard in their office or their job places, so gamble can help to get relax for a moment, but how many people make gamble just to get escape of their stress? mostly people’s intention to make money from gambling, end of the day gambling seems hypertension for them because losing money in gambling is a lot of pain and disappointment, gambling is not just fun and entertainment to everyone, who want to rich at overnight.

[crwth]

I believe so. Some people don't want to think and prefer to go with the flow, taking their luck. Personally, I would like to gamble just for the heck of it and not think too much about the results, but rather the busy part where you won't have time to think about problems, and look forward to winning. Additionally, it's really easy to gamble with the technology we have. We can gamble almost everywhere without having to worry too much about travel because it's in the palm of our hand.

This shouldn't replace anything in your life and should be controlled responsibly.

[tabas]

I guess that it makes sense because of how stressful things nowadays, we need to find on how to remove it by our own ways. If someone gambles to do that, I won't doubt it as long as there is no signs of being addicted. While there can be other ways of getting out of stressful life. But we've got life choices right? we chose to gamble and be happy with it, whichever is the result then we'll gladly accept it. For as long as it has helped us cope up with stressful life and forget it temporary, that's how it works and if it works, that means it's the way that we've chosen to do.
