i found a research which identified four psychological traits contributing to risk for problem gambling. these are the four Es:
escape, esteem, excess and excitement.
escape: when people try to find an escape from stress and all their other problems through gambling, more problem arises and addiction happens
esteem: when people try to find their value through materialistic things and wins in gambling, addiction happens
excess: when people gamble excessively, that is when addiction happens
and excitement: people get excitement from gambling and they no longer know how to stop and that's when addiction happens
this is my understanding of the four Es. do you agree or no?
Well, perhaps these four factors are what cause someone to fall into the risk of gambling, or perhaps they could be called indicators. However, I believe these four words can also be a solution for a gambler or bettor, if they adopt a good mindset when gambling. Let me define them.
Escape: When people have a good mindset when gambling, and try to escape when they have received sufficient entertainment or additional entertainment (winnings), this can help prevent addiction.
Esteem: When people feel satisfied with the rewards they receive from gambling, this mindset is necessary to avoid addiction.
Excess: When people feel they have gambled excessively, this can be a solution.
Excitement: If people gamble solely for entertainment, and consider winnings as additional entertainment, then it is very important to avoid addiction.
If I may add, I would use the term "Essence of Gambling" as an important lesson fundamental to understanding the essence of gambling, which is essentially intended as a means of entertainment. I hope you understand what I am trying to say
