When I saw
this thread, I initially thought about a specific topic but as I opened it I realized that my initial guess was actually quite far from what was actually being discussed. Anyway, what I first thought was the thread was going to be discussing is about the companionship brought to us by gambling.
Yes, we gamble alone especially with the rise of online casinos. There is no longer the need to meet other people and interact with them. But even before, gambling is a social activity. People play poker or mahjong with other people eventually leading to friendships. People meet fellow sports fans when betting in sports.
Despite the benefits of just gambling alone, there is also the beauty of gambling with other people that is undeniable. In this context, do you still prefer gambling alone?
I think it's just a matter of excitement or euphoria it all comes down to individual each individual when gambling. I'd probably rather play alone than with friends. Gambling alone can offer a better opportunity to focus and concentrate on game strategy and bankroll management without the influence of friends or family, and we can express and experience that euphoria, even if the excitement is different than with friends. However, with friends around, we can sometimes be tempted to gamble excessively, leading us to lose control of our bankroll.
