I don’t think gambling is any more escapist than movies, TV, podcasts, games, books, or literally any other form of entertainment. Entertainment is escapism.

- deminature 4y agoThose other forms of entertainment don't have nearly the destructive potential on a person's life and finances that gambling can have. A movie is a $5 one-time purchase, gambling is an endless recurring purchase that may not stop until the person is bankrupt, if they have addictive tendencies.
