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.
Well, that could also be it.
But the truth still remains that anyone who had a bad day at work has higher chances of losing in a game if they intend to use game to relieve themselves. Just a few of them might win which will lighten up their mood. Psychological, when one is frustrated or not in the exact mind to do things, they tend to do the things wrongly. Which means, gambling with less concentration can result to loss.
