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?
I'm not an anxious person but I understand that when you are anxious it takes the better part of you, anxiety has a way of keeping you from taking risks and there by making you miss opportunities though I feel like being anxious about something saves you from doing the wrong thing like making decisions that could make you lose money in gambling. Yes, anxiety have an effect in gambling and when ever I'm anxious about playing a game (I get anxious about a game once in a while)I leave it for some and give myself time to cool off and reflect on the decision I'm about to make before I play my game again.
