Loneliness can be an attraction for a gambler because when he gambles and loses and does not have enough money to re-deposit, he will try to borrow from others to recover his losses. So Lonelines can make a gambler more addicted to gambling. In this case, if he wins the gamble and recovers his losses, he can repay his loans, but if he loses and loses them too, he is in great danger. And this is why you should never gamble with a loan
Loneliness without any activity can make a person reminisce about his past and if he had the experience of gambling in the past, he might want to repeat it. And if he doesn't realize that his past can make him gamble more often than before, he could become addicted to gambling without realizing it. And he might borrow money to continue gambling, especially if he runs out of money gambling. He couldn't think anymore because of his loss, so he could only think about how to recover from it. That's where good self-control comes in, which can prevent him from returning to gambling and can make him realize that he doesn't need to return to gambling, especially when he has had bad experiences with gambling. He must be able to find other activities that are not related to gambling so that he can avoid gambling and not experience gambling addiction. Loneliness requires a solution so as not to think about gambling and maybe someone should be able to find new activities that can relieve their loneliness.
When someone experiences loneliness they usually do what they usually do to entertain themselves who are lonely and if they are gamblers then they will gamble, for those who like to exercise then they will do sports activities, and if they usually play online games they will play online game with friends.
For a gambler, when they are lonely they will still do that even though there are other alternatives to relieve their boredom. This all depends on their attitude who wants to avoid gambling when they are lonely and do other gambling activities. If they have a bad experience in gambling, they should be able to realize it and immediately avoid it because it will cause a repetition of the bad experiences they have gone through, especially if they have already gambled with borrowed money which ultimately makes things difficult for themselves.

There are lots of alternatives to do if they are lonely, it depends on each individual what they want to do, but the most important thing is to avoid gambling when you are lonely because it can cause you to not be able to control yourself.
