Topic: Another health benefit of online gambling - page 14. (Read 2486 times)

I definitely find good sense in what the op have shared and as well advised, personally, I am an introvert myself and have always enjoyed my time alone than when I am in a public place, and right now, I can't even remember when last I visited a physical casino, all my gambling activities after the covid-19 pandemic have always been online, and I personally love it even more since I do not live I an area where a physical casino is close, for before one could  find a physical casino here, he or she have to travels miles and miles away, what we did have rampant around here is local betting shops ran by betting agents for different casinos.

All in all, I do not discourage people from going to physical casinos and having fun, but then, it only makes sense that any player with any form of health issues that could be transmitted to other players should please avoid going to physical casinos, atleast, until they are completely cured from such ailment.

Most people would not quit the bet in the middle of the game so even if someone is placing the bet when the match is happening in the odd times (at night etc), that won't matter much as the bet would have been settled by the time you wake up. By the way, since all the bets are available online, you can place the bet anywhere you are on your mobile phone. You just need to login the gambling site on your phone and then have the money to place bet on any sports you want to bet on.


I don't think people care about the harmful radiation from computers and mobiles. Think of people working in an IT office, where they stay in from of a computer all day long. The gamblers won't stay for 8 to 9 hours login on the gambling site. So i don't think this is an issue for the gambler.

I think every offline gambling place is always busy with visitors and you will have difficulty maintaining your health if you are close to other people who have infectious diseases. Likewise, if you go to a traditional market or mall with good ventilation, is there a guarantee that the disease will not be contagious too? Every crowded place has the potential to catch disease from other people, so if you want to gamble offline, don't be too afraid, because that includes the risk of gathering with lots of people. However, always maintain your health when gambling offline so that diseases are not easily transmitted to you, but the safest thing from your fears is playing online gambling.

Of course, it will not be possible to completely isolate yourself (from work, places of recreation and public places) in order to avoid contact with such a sick person as OP’s neighbor. I believe OP is talking about minimizing risks (with health), because a vivid example of a neighbor with tuberculosis (Isn’t OP afraid of living with someone like that next door?) is before his eyes, and an online casino really allows you to avoid contact with a large crowd of people (among which there may be and other diseases).

Who really should switch to online casinos is his neighbor. It may even be necessary to force it.

I don't understand why some people are trying too hard to justify their gambling habits and try to find excuses for their behaviour. There are no health benefits, I believe we can all agree that it's an entertaining activity that can potentially yield us some money in return.
I understand that people are judgemental, the word itself sounds negative, which is probably why some people are trying to justify their gambling in any possible way. However, we shouldn't really care what others say about it; it's not like we're using their money. My opinion stands that we should support what we're doing, whatever that is, but for the proper reasons.

Well, when it comes to where an individual gambler wants to gamble, whether it's an online casino or a physical casino, it's their choice, and there's nothing we can do about it, or we're out of there. I get your point; maybe that's why he appreciates gambling more when he can touch or see what he is doing.

Maybe we should respect him if that's what he wants, because that's why he's happy, right? The online casino is for lazy people who don't want to go out or who don't have the ability to go to a land-based or physical casino.

I get why your neighbor wants to gamble rather than worry about his health.  After being told to avoid groups cause he's sick, betting online probably sounds good.  At least he won't make his illness worse by being around folks.  But playing games ain't exactly health benefit, virtual or not.  Sure, staying home means fewer germs and hacking up a lung and  and yeah online keeps him away from catching something nasty.  But online casinos just want his money.  They dont care if he gets healthy.  So I don't see the health benefits either.  His health should still come first, not trying to win a jackpot.  If he's bored and wants a distraction, I feel that.  but risking his health to play some poker? Nah. and  Aint worth it.  He can find ways to entertain himself without leaving the house or being around strangers.  Read a book.  Stream a movie.  Video chat his grandkids.  Plenty of low-key activities that are safer for him than hitting the tables at the casino or betting shop.  He's gotta get his priorities straight and take this health stuff seriously.

Common on man. You should know that keeping a healthy lifestyle is what makes you healthy and not avoiding overcrowded bet shops. You use the metro, you use the bus, you use the mall, you go to a church,etc. These are all places where you would find more people than normal and there's a high probability you could catch a communicable disease that has no physical symptoms or that has a longer incubation period from these places. The pros of online gambling is convince. Without noise, rowdiness from external stimulation. It is more of a controlled environment.

I’m not sure if you can call this as health benefits since gambling at home doesn’t boost your health and just as is. You just avoid potential health risk but it doesn’t boost your health either. In fact you can get CPR(Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) and other sick that involves exposure to computer/mobile radiation.

It’s a case to case basis depending on what physical casino you are holding. Most of the casino in my neighborhood offers a VIP experience to all players such as regular disinfectant and good ambiance. Casino here is much better than my house in terms of cleanliness. 

How come it became a health related benefit? He just used another way to access gambling. Something is beneficial to health if it is necessary and if it literally helps your health in general or in particular. Not because it neutralized the risk of tobacco exposure, it already helped the individual. In the first place, tobacco product intake is not necessary and nothing is helped in the first place. Just staying at home will do, and the idea that gambling is not even necessary to one's health, quite creates a separation of thought that something or this activity to be certain is beneficial to your health as gambler regardless if you are a responsible one. You'd more appear to be responsible in my perspective if you choose to avoid gambling 'coz it could be another source of stress, given the condition he's in.
Let people be. For sure they are aware of how their health could be damaged by gambling environment in landbased casinos in particular with vices. There are also casinos wherein cigarettes as prohibited which leaves the argument open for options. Casinos are long existing and things won't change within one just because you are being conscious with your health while having the desire of gambling.

We're all free to engage on whatever platform it is whether it is landbased or online, crypto-based or fiat based. We do have preferences and that simply means we may choose a platform that will suit our preferences to make ourselves comfortable playing.

I agree with you to a certain extent that gambling from home offers health benefits to visiting physical casinos. We are not at risk to catch any disease at home, we can sit down and stand up whenever we want and we can eat and drink whatever we want at home. It's much more comfortable to gamble from home, but it also has some downsides. In case you work from home too and don't spend much time outside, then your immune system will be much weaker compared to someone who is outside a lot. It's not like every bacteria and gurus will make us sick immediately, our body can handle it and our immune system will become stronger. In case you have medical conditions than I would recommend safety and it's better to gamble from home. Another issue is social interaction, when visiting physical casinos we can talk to other gamblers and have a good time outside of gambling itself. With online gambling we will likely be alone at home and only focus on gambling.

OP, you are on point, I have learnt this lesson today, though I have stop shop betting for a very long time reason being that I want my gambling thing to be personal, again their are some benefit attached to gambling online, when you place a bet online and it remain just a match for you to win such slip and a game is on, lets assume that the team you placed straight win is not performing well or maybe they are on 2:0 down in most cases the bet firm will popup a cash out let's assume that is in the night, how will you cashout at that point, ordinarily this is something you can do if you bet online with your phone.

To start with first, what’s the point of him going to gamble all the time when their is need for him to be thinking about his health and look for way’s necessary to get himself treated to save him self those stress, I just can’t imagine the humiliation that he might face sometimes.

Aside from all the health danger associated with, their is peace when you are gambling at your own comfort zone, you don’t lose focus you don’t need to wait for turn before you can place your bet, when ever you are done with your prediction you can just place your bet in your online bet account that’s nothing that make betting as good as that.

You should advise your neighbor to concentrate first on his health and take his medicine so he can fully recover, although he is a responsible gambler it will have an effect if he continues to gamble if he wants to gamble in a physical casino because the casino security will not let him enter their premises and he will get the blame in case he contaminated other players in case he can gets in, there is no to other way if he decides to stick with gambling in a physical casinos, even his doctor will not allow him to play in physical casino.

Both platforms have their benefits for their users, your neighbor loves ambiance and if he loves the crowd then he cannot think of playing online, when it comes to platform preference to gamble, it's always the user to decide where he wants to play depending on his character if he is introverted he will play online if extroverted then physical casinos is his preference.

I am referring to people who desire to gamble but are concerned about their health due to crowds at physical casinos because they have medical conditions.
 
Of course, playing games online might have negative effects on your health, but when you try to think about it, casinos—both real and virtual—have negative effects on people's health. What I'm trying to say is that, similar to what the original poster said, he wanted advice from other members of this forum regarding the best course of action for a gambler who finds it too difficult to visit a physical casino because he believes it is too crowded and makes his tuberculosis worse. In my opinion, it would be preferable for him to play online because it is less hassle than visiting a physical casino, which might worsen his illness due to the different smells and atmosphere of the attendees.
 
In addition, online casinos frequently offer a more laid-back atmosphere that lets users enjoy leisure activities without the tension of traditional physical casinos. But in order to be safe and play properly, it is, of course, their responsibility to thoroughly check out the online casino they are playing at to avoid scams.

When you play at an online casino, you can clearly abide by the limit you set for losing, you can remain anonymous, there are no problems in getting your winnings delivered to you and you are not affected by the casino atmosphere and do not incur unnecessary expenses paying for food, drinks and transportation costs

The Covid 19 pandemic sure taught alot of us how to be more alive online and manage the experience because it can't for one be compared to visiting the live centres.

Am referring to gambling in this case and although I have awaited the day I would go to one of the big casinos in my area, this kind of story sure made me realize how the pandemic was and by still avoiding crowded places is still one of the best advices to stay safe from communicable or airborne disease/sickness that could be easily gotten from visiting a live centre to place bets or gamble.

Your friend in this story might just be the undoing of himself, if he continues to subject himself to the pain and uneasiness of coughing or gasping for air while going against good advise to abstain from a crowded place, and instead bet online.

People like your neighbor are behaving very irresponsibly by visiting gaming casinos rather than staying at home and playing them online. Of course, I sympathize with him, but I know for sure that if I were in his place, I would not go to crowded places, because I felt that I was putting other people at risk.

Perhaps he is not young and simply not good enough with a computer, or he feels very good in such an atmosphere, but this cannot be justified by these reasons. After your story, I will think more carefully about whether I should visit the casino, and probably take a protective mask and hand sanitizer with me. But most likely I’d rather play from home, I’m more comfortable that way.

You would do well to point out your neighbor's behavior to the authorities. Isn't he breaking the rules of society by infecting everyone else? It looks like such idiots need to be isolated on a separate island, since when they are sick, they believe that everyone else should also be sick.
I agree with you, OP; precisely because people cease to be people in some cases, isolating as many public places as possible would be a good choice.

The world is filled with people with different kinds of diseases that are communicable, and most of the time you can't even notice or identify those who have them.
 
What a normal person who also cares about the safety of others should do is avoid those areas where they are discomforting those who are also gambling in that shop, which is not good. Even the agent or shop owner managing that centre, if such is noticed, should ban that person from coming, as many other dissatisfied customers won't want to come there again when the guy is available.
 
I barely visit a physical casino, and this kind of thing is among the reasons, and things like violence also contribute to why online casinos are the safest place to be. I hardly bet in traditional gambling shops, skin diseases are also real, and most of the time, out of some argument, you can easily come into contact with someone who has one of those.
