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 only feel anxious whenever I nearly win a bet especially in sport betting, that makes me overthink to the point I can throw away my device when checking the score line. I prefer to be loosing my predictions in the beginning of my bet than ending, loosing it early makes me feel like it's normal, anticipates my mood to adapt to the system of that is how it is, but I get boiled down with so much depression and anxiety whenever 1 game destroyed my slip. I can't endure that scenerio.
Many gamblers like you normally get anxious when given a cashout that worth up to 7X especially when you used huge amount of money to stake the game that is supposed to go e you up to 20X. Gambling is mindset and we could make money more when our mindset is strong to the extent that we don't care if we lose a bet when given a cashout. Those that are making money from betting are actually strong and mean to get to the level they might be. Someone that don't have the mindset to gamble must not do so inorder to prevent unnecessary loses.

There is no gambler that won't get anxious when they are been offer a cash out  option that is handsome and it is not wrong to be anxious because it is a normal human reaction. but whenever I'm being given this cash out option what I check is what I stand to gain if the game played finish, what I have in that instant if it can afford not to cash out and how much I stake with, some people what makes them cash out a game most time is the amount they stake with, if for example someone stake with $5 and maybe they are seeing a cash out of $80-100 some persons will definitely cash out because the profit is already cool.
