I use gambling only to be entertained and when I'm bored. Using gambling when you are worrying, in trouble or in grief won't help, it might worsen your situation especially when you lost a game. Better stay out of gambling when you are experiencing bad emotions even if it is for fun.
I don't gamble now just for the entertainment value. There were times that I gamble when I'm bored too but I don't gamble when I'm in trouble. That will only add another problem that I've been dealing with if I'm on the loose and will gamble by that time. I don't want to let my gambling activity affected by gambling because it will just get worse.
