Gambling: Stress Reliever That May Lead to More Stress?

[pawel7777]

When we get caught up trying to pigeonhole reality to fit linguistic definitions we can end up with weird conclusions.
The reality is the stress is not always bad, our bodies produce cortisol (the "stress hormone") for a reason. Also, stress and fun/entertainment/excitement are not to far away from each other and they're not opposites. The opposite of stress is relaxation, but that's not what people are seeking for when gambling.

It will lead to more stress if you lose, but in case that you play and win, then for sure, a lot of positive hormones are going to be released in our body and we feel good and think that gambling is a good way to relieved our mind and body of stress. But then again, that will not be always the case, most of the times we are going to lose specially if you play and have in mind that it's will be a stress reliever and nothing more. But if you think about the money that you are going to lose in the long run, then it might just add up to the negative feelings. So it's better to go to like exercise and meditation or hobbies to fight out that stress to maintain our mental health.

Just sharing my story here:

We had a drinking spree and when we got drunk we decided to go and play in a casino here. In the beginning I was able to win big already, but I didn't stop and then ended up losing all my money in the end.

Moral of the story is that our decision should be clear when we gamble, I mean if I haven't had the influence, I would have withdraw the money and go home right away. So it lead to more stress on my end when I wake up and realized what I have done. Ouch!!!

In gambling one is most delighted by the excitement created in a gambler when he wins. There may be less amount of money but that too can make a gambler happy. Those who gamble and loss even if it is a small amount, are found to suffer from it both mentally and physically. As a gambler I would say that gambling is not a problem if a gambler chooses gambling to lose. Better to enjoy this platform instead of expecting to win from gambling. Since winning is not always possible, it is important to develop the humanity to enjoy both victory and defeat.

It is always good to enjoy each gaming session we have, it is a fact that sometimes we get carried away by emotions and that can mean many good things, but also bad things when it is not taken responsibly, therefore every time we are going to have a gaming session we should think about how much we should spend and how we can enjoy or extend the experience more, and I think everything points to the fact that if we always consider gaming as the best way to have fun we must do it responsibly, for me that is the key.

As you mentioned, if a gambler believes he can win or lose, he will not panic no matter what happens. Most gamblers' reactions are a result of their expectations. When a gambler is confident that he will win but does not, he experiences intense feelings and may transfer his aggression to a close friend or family member.

However, if a gambler places a bet and believes that he will not win or that the money has already been lost prior to the start of the game, he will not be surprised or panicked if the game is lost.

Many people think gambling is fun way to spend time and maybe win some money. But it is not that simple. Gambling can help people feel better for short time but it can also cause more stress and worry. Some people use gambling to forget about their problems but gambling can also create new problems. We should be careful and notice when gambling stops being fun and starts causing trouble. Except of using gambling to deal with stress we should find healthier ways to manage our stress and worries. This way we can avoid bad things that can happen when we gamble too much.

And one more thing when we gamble to reduce stress and we gamble daily or too much so it will lead us to addiction. So if you will get be addicted one time so it will not be easy to leave so always be careful.

Yes I totally agree with you too. In fact, a different kind of excitement works among those who win at gambling, especially those who are new and win for the first time. When I gambled for the first time and won, I had a very happy moment, I remember when I won gambling for the first time I screamed so loud. As funny as it sounds, it was actually a lot more fun for me. It really gives a new gambler a different feel.

That readiness is what a gambler should have, when they enter gambling and they start betting on it, then they must be ready to lose money, otherwise it will have a negative impact on themselves or someone else will be affected by their anger.

It is better not to gamble if we are not ready to lose money, because we need to realize that defeat is much greater than victory.
