In my opinion going to a physical casino has its advantages as well as disadvantages. It's okay to be entertained but there is no real guarantee of winning in gambling. If the person loses if he is sick it will be worse for his health. He will never recover physically if he worries too much after losing. In order to maintain his health he should keep himself occupied with activities other than gambling that will help him recover quickly.

If one knows about his health conditions, then it's better he moves far away from gambling if he can't maintain the ability of how to control himself while gambling, then it also have to depend on the desirability or sole reason why such gambler is gambling, considering his health condition, I don't expect such gambler to be gambling for money, instead for him to have fun and play, not minding whether he won or looses, these are my expectations on such gambler, as long as he could achieve that and control himself, he can gamble by having fun.
You have a very good point there. We can't entirely condemn gambling because we gamble for two reasons which are not only about money-making. People can gamble because of the fun they derive from it, while others gamble due to the money they want to earn from it, and if the former is the case of the person whose health is challenged, I see no big deal there. It might even be what will keep the company of the person during the time that he has to stay secluded for one reason or the other. But for the prevention of bad consequences in this regard, I advise that such a person should wager a very small amount of money per bet. This is how he can actualise the gambling fun and will not be burdened financially for whatever reason.

However, if such a person is gambling for money and not fun, it has to be done wisely, and if it has reached the extent to which it is now affecting his health, the best consideration is to quit gambling. After all, gambling is never by force and "health is wealth." It's only addiction that will make people continue gambling when they fully know that it is not positive for them financially and healthwise. And to avoid disaster, it is better to strictly stop it outrightly.

Tuberculosis is a very scary disease and such patients should not go to public places because of the high probability of spreading the disease.

How gambling affects this person is of little interest to anyone. This person is endangering other gamblers because of his irresponsibility. This person has a great alternative as online gambling. Why he does not play only online remains a mystery to me. 
One of the main things that you would really be able to avoid on is on the time or moment that you would really be getting this kind of contagious diseases specially on the time that you do go into those public places on which we wont really be able to know that there would really be those people who would really be tending to go into these places without minding about their healt conditions. Speaking about TB or tuberculoses on which this is really that easily could really be spread up and if you are a fan on going into these places then high chances that you would really be getting one. This is why there are people who would really be that much more prefer on playing online rather than on going into those places considering that there are really those tendency that it would really be happening on a certain individual.

Even if a person with TB will gamble online, there is no guarantee that you will not get infected when you ride in the same elevator with him or stand next to him in the store. In my opinion, it is a question of whether a person infected with TB is motivated to protect the people around him. It seems to me that judging from the description of this person's actions, he does not care about the people around him. It turns out that the more such people there are, the higher the probability of catching TB without even knowing it. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

considering his compromised health condition, it is better to avoid gambling first until he recovers.
However, if the person is a gambling addict, and cannot give up his gambling activities. It would be better in my opinion to keep gambling online rather than going to a physical casino.
At least by continuing to let him gamble can make him feel happy and increase his immunity. but sticks to a smaller budget allocation than usual when visiting the casino, and he also doesn't mind losing some of his money. rather than forcing him to immediately leave and stay away from gambling which makes his mind confused and that can also affect his health.

True, however what you suggest is the best decision for someone who is in a sick condition, a wise decision is to prioritize health over gambling because after all gambling is not a mandatory activity, and after all casinos never force gamblers to always be involved at all times in any condition, everyone must really be able to make decisions according to the situation and conditions. And yes it is true that if for example the story is that they are gamblers who have entered the addiction phase which I admit that it is very difficult to stop not gambling in any situation when they are already addicted then yes maybe the choice is like you said that make online casinos as an alternative, because if you force yourself to go to a physical casino with your sick condition then obviously it will be able to worsen your health.

But obviously overall the best option is actually not to engage in gambling at all especially when you are sick, but yes for those who are already addicted it is indeed difficult to do so, the other thing is of course as you said that we have to stick to a lot of restrictions that are useful to minimize things that are not wanted and actually this approach applies to all gamblers regardless of whether they are sick or not.

I was randomly scrolling on Instagram last night and all of a sudden a fantasy football reel popped up and the guy talks about how playing fantasy football has been proven to help ones health.  Here is the link - https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6Y8nQuO-Wb/?igsh=a3d5ZGhsMzJvdmV1 .

You might have to be set up with an account to view it, but not 100% sure.  Anyways fantasy football is certainly a form of sports gambling that I love so much.  Definitely brings me a lot of happiness.

I completely agree with that. Someone who knows that they have a certain health condition and that they can't bear a lot of pressure or stress, they are not supposed to be gambling or doing anything that might put them under a lot of pressure or give them a lot of stress or tension and we know how stressful gambling can be, especially if you are losing a lot of money in it.

Or as you said, such people should only gamble for fun and shouldn't do it for gains because those who gamble for gains tend to lose more money in it since they gamble irresponsibly, and when you gamble irresponsibly and lose a lot of money, you tend to be under a lot of pressure and be too much stressful.

The thread is not basically about how gambling affects someone's help but about how physical casinos can expose gamblers to some communicable diseases. It was about a neighbour who has an airborne disease called tuberculosis and has been advised by his physician to avoid public places due to the possibility of infecting others. People who are suffering from health issues like high blood pressure, heart issues or respiratory defects should gamble responsibly. Gambling more than they can afford to lose could lead to health complications that could be fatal. Any gambler who has been advised by doctors to quit gambling should avoid the activity immediately.

The situation as pointed by Op explains the cruciality of online gambling. How it's capable of reducing the way players with transmittable diseases go to the casino. It's all for the good of everyone. Both the gambler and his friends in the casino. Places fully crowded by people is meant to be avoided, as nobody knows who is actually healthy in that premises. I don't see any need of visiting a crowded gambling shop  enough to affect the ventilation of the room, when an online casino is available on his device.
I am glad you understood my point of view. I have not insinuated that physical gambling is bad. I usually enjoyed physical gambling experience but I wouldn't risk my health because of entertainment. I still maintain my stance that any gambler who is suffering from transmittable disease should avoid physical casinos and enjoy online gambling. It will be better to forgo some level of fun for the safety of others. We shouldn't be selfish because the health of others matters.

It's true that a gambler cannot quit gambling immediately, but when he's sick it's quite risky for a player to still engage in gambling. I agree that the gambler can be made happy if allowed to wager few amounts and enjoy his session. This is valid if the player is ready to be under watch. Similarly, a sick person shouldn't be left on his own to do some things, especially financial transactions like gambling. Where he could be taken off guard and lose out lots of money enough to affect his health.

Well that is one of the few benefits of the internet has given to us, specially those who doesn't like to socialize.
We could stay indoors all the time now because of the internet, we could order food, shop online and even for entertainment we have online casino or gambling, almost everything is online now.

Well, for others gambling is a stressful hobby especially those who lose way too much and that's inevitable in all online gambling sites.
But I do agree with OP that one of the health benefits of online gambling is avoiding contagious diseases like the one example that he gave. Especially in these days where different kinds of disease are spreading out, well the pandemic made a good example of that.

If he is a gambling addict then he is better off gambling. That way he may save that money and use it for buying his own medicine. It's not like the gambling sites are going away. They will always be there waiting for new customers to come in and I doubt they will just close down because of one gambling addict turning around and doing what is necessary while he is sick. Keeping himself healthy. Gambling is also a time consuming game, he might not be able to take care of himself if all he thinks about is playing.

My neighbor has tuberculosis and from the information I gathered from a reliable source, his case is so severe. He is at the lung cavitation stage of the disease and he has been advised to avoid overcrowded environments for his health and the safety of others. But my neighbor who is a responsible gambler will always visit physical betting shops. Some physical gambling shops in my area are poorly ventilated and they could be overcrowded and stuffy. Sometimes you could see that he is struggling to remain in the casino shop and such cases he would be coughing heavily. I have told him to focus on online gambling but he told me that he is more entertained in physical bet shops.

Betting with online gambling firms will shield you from contracting communicable diseases because you are all alone in a comfortable atmosphere. My neighbor's behavior has made me focus only on crypto casinos because I am scared of my health. Don't get me wrong there are many well-built and very comfortable physical casinos that offer quality services, but when you are an online gambler you will not need to worry about the health concerns of fellow gamblers.

You've found one minor benefit that will be useful to probably a tiny minority of players. I'd say the biggest one is being able to compete with others around the world and pulling in vast profits (let's say poker) that you'd never be able to do face to face. Say if you're an expert player in the Philippines, early on at least you'll never get a visa to join a high roller table in Europe, but you can still clean the table out if you're truly skilled. On the flip side, having that sort of access can get you cleaned out much more quickly too, unless you identify you are leaking.

It seems to me that there can't be a definitive answer here. Yes in this situation opting for online games appears to be a reasonable alternative. However, for this particular player the issue should be considered more comprehensively. We can't simply suggest switching to online platforms. If a person is unwell, they need support from relatives, friends and alternative methods of recreation and entertainment possibly including a change of scenery.
Help from family friends and relatives most times goes a long way to help someone who's suffering a medical condition, gambling at such stage isn't the best recreational activity such person should be doing bas it's not medically proven to help FasTrack healing process of someone with a medical condition but i think like you rightly suggested, there are other alternative recreational activities that such persons can engage in that has been proven to help their healing quick enough, some of these activities could be tailored at a target part of the body to enhance the process of their healing.

Going for recommended recreational activities at the time of suffering a health condition is still the best approach and not going to do something you think will help nd probably end up with even worse condition, gambling is only recreational when someone is in their right health and State of mind and just want to have a different kind of fun.

that's for sure, besides when someone is unwell their cognitive functions are likely not at their peak, making it difficult to make sound decisions or enjoy such activities fully. This could lead to not just physical and mental exhaustion but also potential negative outcomes in the games themselves which isnt ideal.

This is not at all a benefit. I mean if the user has a disease which spreads upon contact, then definitely the person need to take care of that and have to avoid any type of meetings with other person. You just irrelevantly joining this with gambling mate. Yes he is gambling in order to pass his time or for recreational purpose. But this is not at all a health benefit, and I am sure on this.

You're not alone on this thought. No matter how many times I've read the post, but still I didn't get the idea why there is an element of health benefit while the person who had severe lung related disease is gambling at the comfort of his home. I mean, where is the health benefit there? Is there a remedy in gambling, does the person's condition became better and better as he gamble every day?
Well, if that person is really into gambling, then online gambling would be best for him as the disease maybe contagious. That is not what we call benefit, it is prevention and that is better than cure.   
I agree with you, the benefit is more appropriate if the gambling winnings can be used to buy medicine until he recovers and can return to his normal activities. If you just want to avoid crowds because of your illness, but still want to engage in gambling activities, that's more of a choice. So the choice is between going to a physical casino or gambling online.

We can get  a positive impact in gambling when we are Inoue home alone . If we have  and illness and advised by the doctor that we need to hide ourselves in public then the best thing to do  is playing and gamble in some online casino everytime we want to gamble. but also w exist remember that gambling is one of the best exercise of our heart cause through gambling  there's a time that our heart beat faster when the crucial time we have in our play.
Of course ,Gambling can be a good helper for a lonely person because if he doesn't have a companion or partner to spend his time with, he can spend his lonely time gambling.
Also, one thing I can't accept is that I don't understand how gambling can be helpful for people with heart problems. A heart patient may be happy if he gets a profit from gambling but if he gambles with huge losses then he is more likely to develop heart problems. In that case, whether he can control himself is also a matter of consideration.
However, for patients who are told to avoid public contact, gambling can be an important means of passing the time. For those patients, gambling is an important way to pass the time of solitude.
I think gambling should never be played thinking that gambling will cure my loneliness or gambling will only give me fun but we should take gambling seriously and gamble seriously. If you feel lonely you can go on a trip or you can play video games as well as spend time with friends, I don't think you need to gamble to get rid of your loneliness. If you gambled to relieve your loneliness or thought about gambling to relieve your depression, but at that time you gambled and lost, your depression will increase. Gambling will not keep you mentally and physically healthy because gambling will not only bring results in your favor but also against you and when it goes against you, you will naturally feel a little bad mentally. So gambling should be played carefully and should be given utmost importance.

Well right, there are actually many other things that can be utilized or made as an alternative to entertain yourself when you are feeling lonely, because no matter how fun gambling is, gambling still has the possibility of risks that are sometimes very large and that we never expected before, On the other hand, I do not prohibit you from gambling but certainly you must reconsider your intentions before finally making a decision, if for example you have considered everything from various sides, especially by understanding that gambling can no longer be fun when you experience a lot of losses then it is up to you if you want to stay involved or make gambling an alternative to loneliness.

What is certain is to always have the ability to take responsibility for whatever you have done, because only then will you not feel regret or emotion when things do not go your way. And I will tell you that gambling can give you pleasure when you are able to control everything well, but if not then there is definitely no health or entertainment benefits whatsoever because all you will feel is a lot of tension and pressure.

If he realizes he needs to buy medicine, he will do that but as we know if someone playing gambling without control, he will not thinks about himself. He will forget that when he wins, he must trying to cure himself by buy medicine and take a rest for a while and not playing gambling. But if he feels that he is ill, he doesn't needs to comes to casino instead stay at his home and cure his ill. It's not recommended if someone still playing gambling in offline casino while he is ill because that can makes other people contracted his disease. That can makes panicking in that casino, especially we already survive from Covid-19 which is terrible experienced by many people. Selecting online casino is the best option for him when he is ill while he can take a rest until he gets recover from his ill.
