When you're already financially stress, you don't add another stress on top of that.

I would say that being in a state of financial stress not only adds an extra layer of pressure when it comes to gambling, but also leads to false hopes and unrealistic expectations. In this way, a person tries to compensate for failures in other areas of life. It’s a poor strategy, as it blurs the line of knowing when it’s time to stop. Even when someone does win, they often don’t cash out, because they’re fixated on a goal that is nearly impossible to achieve.

I have this principle of not gambling when I'm financially down, some people might consider such a phase the best time to gamble because they might get lucky. For me I see it as a very easy way to get desperate, you become more stressed out mentally when your expectations keeps crashing. Putting your last hope on gambling can be very frustrating, that's why I wouldn't advice anyone that's broke to do it. Most wins I have had where times that I wasn't broke, I didn't stress about losing the money in my account. There's something about gambling when you are not broke.

I think that when the financial situation is bad, it is more difficult to win at gambling. The situation can be even worse at that time. Those who choose to gamble in such a situation to improve their situation are definitely taking a wrong decision. Moreover, I have observed this fact myself that when I need to win a lot, my chances of losing increase even faster. Those who choose gambling when they are in financial crisis are definitely taking a fatal decision. When I do not have money to lose, then at that time I will also have a lot of pressure on gambling. In order to gamble without stress, I should definitely gamble with money that I can afford to lose.

You're right there is immerse pressure to gamble when you are under so financial struggle this is because our minds and emotions try to deceive us because we have allowed ourselves to be given to gambling and it has taken a better part of us so the only thing that comes to us is to gamble so that we can have some cash to solve our financial problems but is is not a good thing to do because you find out that you loss the little money that you have with you.

This is a temptation that we should overcome because allowing our emotions to over rule our senses of judgement because in times of financial problems one should never be thinking of gambling because gambling will always take money away from you, so we should think of something productive and see how we can solve our financial problems
