Many gamblers are saying that they are only gambling for stress reliever but the thing is they keep becoming more stress if they lose in the gambling. For those who have a lot of money can say that gambling is for fun and stress reliever because they have a lot of money and they do not care even if they lose big.
Gambling for stress relief? How funny can this get.
Gambling alone can put one into stress. it's not only because of the loss that comes with it as you state but also because of the mental calculations on the right strategies that could result to winning. That alone can stress the brain.
When one play without thinking or calculating the chances, the loss becomes greater. Anyone that want t relieve stress should go watch a show and not gamble.
Maybe he means that stress from his job, so when he is playing gambling, he can get pleasure from gambling, and he can reduce his tension from his job. But I think he should consider using gambling as stress relief because if he loses money in gambling, his stress will be bigger than before, and I think if he doesn't have control of himself, he will ruin his day plus he will lose all of his money. I think it's not better if we are playing gambling if we are in stress because that can affect our emotions.
