Unfortunately, gambling for many gamblers is just a way to temporarily escape from reality and stop feeling what they are currently feeling in reality. This can be disappointment or resentment, because during gambling all attention is focused on money, because this is important.
After all, if we win big money, we can change almost any real situation, but unfortunately, gamblers do not often win, and escaping from reality is only a temporary measure.

The only thing that truly concerns a person who has no money is how to earn it without falling into debt. Seeing gambling as a way to make money is a serious misconception and, in essence, an escape from taking responsibility for one’s decisions. It’s important to realize that a stable income comes from conscious actions and planning, not from risky bets that can only make the situation worse. True strength lies in the ability to face life’s challenges and find real solutions, rather than trying to avoid them with the illusion of easy profit.

In fact, attitudes toward gambling and risk largely depend on each individual's life situation. I have been gambling for most of my life and have changed my attitude toward this form of entertainment more than once. At one time, I was a very risky and irresponsible gambler because I could afford it. For a while, I stopped gambling altogether because I had neither the time nor the money for it. Now I gamble no more than once every two weeks and try to limit myself. I don't know how I will feel about gambling in five years, but I know for sure that all this time I have gotten what I wanted from gambling. Therefore, it is not entirely correct to think that everyone gambles in order to make money or pass the time. Every gambler pursues their own goals depending on the situation.
