Gambling: Stress Reliever That May Lead to More Stress?

[bitbit97]

I believe that gambling helps reduce human stress. Everyone is under some pressure in their personal life and if gambling is done to reduce that stress then people can forget that stress which cannot be avoided in any other way. There is no harm in gambling once a week for a person who is under family pressure if he can manage the gambling within control. I saw a friend who spends time on betting after his duty. He told me that as long as he was gambling, he enjoyed gambling, which provided a temporary release from the human pressures of his everyday life.

Not surprised that your friend use gambling to relieve from stress. I dont know who has created a myth that gambling is only about something negative. Gambling can be done for earning, for fun, to kill time and as a stress reliever. For example some people to prefer to watch how fire is burning, how water is running, but someone find piece when he watch slots spin or balls fall in plinko. Everyone have their own stress relievers, as we all are different. Someone feel annoyed when someone is clicking his pen, when the other guy uses it to release steam.

The fact is that most gambling increases stress, not relieves stress, because if you always lose, stress will come to you.

Truly, losing in gambling brings stress. When you lose, there is always this ill feeling that causes an uneasy mind and a desire to chase lose and win more. This feeling of unrest is exacerbated when a gambler loses money he cannot afford to lose, resulting in emotional distress.

The reason for this emotional disturbance is that the gambler will begin to think about the bills that would have been paid with the money he lost. If the bill is urgent and requires an immediate offset, the gambler will begin making efforts to raise funds to pay it. This causes stress.

When then can we say that gambling is a stress reliever and not yet causing stress, the very thing we wanted to minimize in the first place?

Gambling is a stress reliever if you do everything right. Which includes using the money you can afford to lose to gamble, having a gambling budget and stick into it, sticking to games that you have knowledge about, not chasing losses and so many. When you do this you are not under any stress to recover or double your money. On the other hand gambling becomes a stress induced when you Gamble with the mindset that it is a way to make money, or that it is a get rich quick method, and other things that leads to failure in other human endeavors. I think when it relieves stress, it is call Eustress and when it induced stress, it is call distress.

Well said, but it is not easy for all gamblers to follow these healthy gambling practices that you have mentioned. In fact, every gambler has experienced stress as a result of making a poor gambling decision. I will add one more tip to the list you mentioned: gamblers should avoid the temptation of what is known as a sure game. There is no sure game, which is why it is called prediction. Most gamblers have been doomed while chasing sure games.

The funniest thing is paying a subscription fee to a prediction site in order to record winnings. This path can easily lead a gambler to a life of misery and stress unless he realizes that no prediction site or individual can provide a 100% guaranteed prediction.

You are right. Although gambling is considered to be a stress reliever, it may not always relieve stress but rather increase stress. There are many gamblers who gamble to meet their financial needs and then find that person has lost more money so how can he reduce his stress through gambling? There are also many who gamble to forget their external pressures, and the same may happen if he loses. But the pressure will ease a bit for those who win.

Well good point. Gambling is just a tool to trigger stress and I think addiction or gambling irresponsibly is the cause of it correct me if I'm wrong. Losing from gambling would trigger stress, making wrong decisions in gambling also one factor affecting stress. But all this can be avoided by just responsible gambling as those limits we have done might get us relaxed and calm.

In our psychology, there is always a desire to escape from reality and immerse yourself in a fantasy world. Sometimes, especially in moments of weakness, we just want to give up and forget about everything. That's why gambling is so attractive – it offers us the opportunity to break away from the mundane and the rules of self-discipline. But it is important to remember that this is just an illusion that can do more harm than good. Giving in to our desires is sometimes easy, but it is important to maintain balance and control over yourself. After all, our psychology is what makes us human, and we must learn to manage it, not be its prisoners.

Psychology is a branch of science that studies human behavior, and mentioning it as you propose in your context is like someone who practices the profession, I think there is some jargon - grammar in your idea. Or maybe it is the popular use that we give to phrases like "use your psychology."

There is something that 0t3p0t mentions, and it is the point, relax, and take it as something everyday, a few days ago I had years, seriously not weeks, years, that I not login a Casino "x", and I found $120 in the wallet, nice surprise, ready I played for a while and that's it, I know I have that money there, now.

In final conclusion, stay away from casinos if you can't handle stress, if you still can't do it, seek professional help, do therapy, prepare yourself, study the game, educate yourself, spend $100 on your well-being, the best bet you should make is to go to a specialist.

Many people look at and participate at many gambling options with the thinking that it can be a good entertainment, to while away the time and of course in the process get the chance to win some money...what can be more ideal than that? However, reality can be painting a different picture contrary to what we assumed to be.

The fact is that gambling can be a stress reliever yes...but can also be leading to more stress to some.

In this research paper, "the researchers reviewed articles on stress and gambling. They described how stress and gambling are related in three ways. First, gambling is used to escape stress. Second, gambling itself could cause stress. Third, altered stress reactions may be a risk factor for gambling disorder."

When then can we say that gambling is a stress reliever and not yet causing stress, the very thing we wanted to minimize in the first place?

Gambling is an activity that should be done for the purpose of entertainment only if you want it to be enjoyable to ease up stress and anxiety, gambling can only become stressful and bring add more anxiety when you make it an addiction but take note it's a up to you to decide if you are going to make it an addiction. The stress of gambling comes with a lot of depression that can affect your mental health which can cause some problems

But if you have to look at it very closely, it is just temporary and after a couple of hours, you are back into the reality. And if you losses, it might have compound effect on you, on your mental health and we all know that it is not good. We have been in that kind of situation before, and we all doesn't like that.

And that's why if we are stressed, it might be better not to gamble at all as our decision are clouded, and our mind is somewhat floating and just looking to escape but it will just be momentarily lull. So it's just better to relax and just concentrate on other things.

Indeed, gambling was solely designed for fun and as an activity meant to receive stress, bit it's quite unfortunate now that gambling has been misunderstood and many gamblers out there now a very huge misconception of gambling and now they allow gambling do the opposite to them, instead of to receive stress, it's now adding more stress to them and also causing them financial and emotional stress and sometimes even mental stress. This is really quite unfortunate. When one gambles for fun, without spending too much time and money on gambling, you'll really enjoy gambling because it's one of the best ways to just sit and relax your brains after a stress filled day.

Everything that was created as a stress reliever can produce more stress if a person is nervous, impatient and, for example, lazy to read manual to find out how things work. Even reading a book can be stressful, if you are disrupted all the time, or you are reading in uncomfortable conditions. However, I would be careful to call gambling as stress reliever, as it contains to many elements that can make things go wrong. Better stop at gambling being "just one of the ways to get entertained".

The psychological aspect is definitely important in gambling. Especially when I see some of the gamblers I know who don't think realistically. They choose gambling to make their dreams come true. Some of them think that they cannot get to that position without gambling platform. Gamblers who operate with this type of psychology fail to control themselves in gambling. At some point, they lose the wealth they have in their possession. Gambling can only be enjoyed by those who come out of the world of fantasy and control themselves in gambling.
