Are you usually an anxious person? I wonder if being anxious makes you more susceptible to being addicted to gambling or no?
If you are always worrying, would you not be able to take risks as confidently as others? Won't you just stay in your safe zone and miss out on opportunities that could have given you bigger wins? Or maybe some people tend to forget about their anxiety from gambling because their mind gets so numb playing?
Has gambling treated your anxiety or has it made it worse?
