Hazarduješ někdy jen proto, abys měl/a pocit kontroly?

Not talking about chasing wins or being addicted - I mean those sessions where you're just kinda stressed, things in life feel off, and you sit down to spin or play blackjack to reset your brain.

For me, it’s not even about the outcome sometimes. I’ll load up a small balance, throw on some chill music, and just click.

It’s like: "Here’s something I can control, even if the result’s random."

Anyone else use gambling as weird self-regulation like that? Or am I just overthinking the whole thing lol.

Hello, if I had to speak for myself I probably wouldn't be in this group. 

I understand that everyone can have something to relax and escape from reality, but I'm of the opinion that it can sometimes turn into an addiction, which I would hate to do. That whenever you want to chill, all you're going to do is spin the slots and nothing else will get you out of that reality. 

I don't know if I'm seeing it right, and I guess I'm taking it from a negative point of view, but I guess that's how I perceive it. 

Of course, if you have it under control and you do it occasionally, then I guess I don't see a problem. 

I do a lot of sports when I want to turn my head off, so that's probably my escape from reality.🙂

I’ve gambled before to feel like I had control over something. When life feels unpredictable, placing a bet, even a small one, can create this weird illusion of power.

And do you think it helped you or was it just some psychological effect and it had no impact on you?🤔

Random outcomes in a casino game are the least subject to "control",

That's the point of the game. Losing can increase stress. To distract yourself, to escape from reality, the game can help. But it's not the best way, I think.

It's better to play when you're in optimal condition.

Sweeping a room while closing it from the inside is an activity worthy of praise, with maximum CONTROL and a quick, visible result. :)

Случайные результаты в игре казино наименее подвержены "контролю", 

в этом суть игры. Проигрыш может усилить стресс. Отвлечься, уйти от реальности, игра может помочь. Но это не лучший способ, я полагаю. 

Играть лучше уже в оптимальном состоянии. 

Подмести некое помещение, закрывшись изнутри - вот занятие, достойное похвалы, с максимальным КОНТРОЛЕМ и быстрым наглядным результатом. :)
