Loneliness can lead to huge financial losses by being attracted to risky things like gambling to become competitive.
That depends on a person bud, I haven't played with a friend ever since I started gambling, they're just nuisance to me IMO when I'm enjoying the game as you have to somewhat entertain them during plays or might the other way round. I'd rather go solo and be considered as lone bettor than being annoyed over competitive matches.
We are the type of people who trust no one but ourselves in gambling, we learn our owned way and if we improve and we become consistent, we can only keep it ourselves and enjoy winning in gambling. No pressure also as there's no people that will judge us but ourselves.
Indeed. Money is Money, everything is Money when it comes to gambling, No friends or allies just you alone.
