3. You can forget all your problems for a while. It also a way of relieving stress because you are more focused on the game than your problems even for a short period of time.

I kind of disagree with this.

I disagree since I have experience of this. I am gambling to have fun, to forget my problem at that time since the doctor told my mother is sick and I can't accept it since she already knew it and she is not telling us. I want to gamble and have some fun but after that, I kind of regretted it since I lost the money that I can use to help with my mother's medication.

Gambling is for fun but it does not help us forget our problems. I had a similar experience years back, I always had fun in gambling and that year my girl broke up with me, the only thing I could think of that time to quickly ease me of the pain was to gamble which I recorded the greatest loss that day since the history of my gambling.

I think, we make more loses when we go into gambling with the mindset of relieving ourselves of stress, because we are not always in the right state of mind to play and then we end up making so much loses. Gambling does not help relieve stress, it only distracts us a little bit, but once the game ends, we are back to the same pains.

True story because i did experience the same thing where i do gamble when I'm on a certain problem.It did really make some distractions for you to forget somehow or momentarily about on your problem
but in the end when you lost up money on playing the pain and stress would mixed up which will cause even more pain into you that's why its not really ideal to play when you are problematic.
