I researched just now and found that some gamblers do in fact use gambling as a form of escape from their real life. Which is why you might find a lot of people just recently went through a divorce or death of a loved one gambling. I guess this is why there are always people gambling in funerals. Obviously over time I think it just became more of a tradition rather than an actual act of escape from mourning.

Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea to use gambling as a coping mechanism especially that your emotions will be the one driving your decisions and that almost never end well. It’s fine sometimes but I find that dealing with your emotions especially negative ones can be much helpful than turning into potentially harmful vices.

But What about you? Do you also use gambling to escape from stress of the real world?

There's a superstitious belief right there that the dead must need to have a companion watch them while they arent buried because there's a chance it will rise again or there's a possibility someone will took their body, reason why people keep eye and of course imagine you wait for the all day so people seek an entertainment to them is to play gambling we know people really like to play gambling even though its a small bet or stakes just to kill time upon watching. We know gambling is one of the form to give entertainment it seems gives you into a different way of being competitive and more active with your mind about the things happens. Instead the focus are in the game not in the stress earlier but of course this could add to a stress if you receive a continuous lose in the game.
