It’s only advisable to gamble as long as you can manage your expenses and losses when gambling, but if you are getting highly emotional whenever you’re in losses, we’ll that’s a sign to stop yourself from gambling anymore. Old aged people are at risk of heart attack, so most likely if you continue to engage in gambling and suffer from consistent losing, you might end up getting heart attack and that’s the worst thing to happen to an old gambler.
However, if you insist doing it for an entertainment, that’s fine if you are still able to control your urge. But if you think you can’t, then don’t bother to gamble at your old age, but just enjoy your life and spend quality time with your wife, kids and grandkids.
And stress. I am not old I really felt the stress toll of gambling at playing casino games a week ago. I mean, I didn't think that I could get angry like that because I felt like I was being robbed without any RTP coming.
I played Keno and lost a lot of my capital and I was so angry that I almost wanted to destroy my keyboard. Thankfully, after a long wait, it was given back to me although it was not enough to cover everything. It's true, that if we cannot manage our expenses anymore, we must stop. Because there's a chance that those expenses will keep on growing as we chase the losses which I am also guilty of and I think many gamblers do a lot.
For an old man to be doing this will not be good for his health. I suggest keeping the bets on either sports gambling or mild live casino games only because somehow on those games we could control it, unlike the nonstop games of slots and original games.
Stress means more health problems like constipation, headaches, or maybe even worse, it will be not good for an old man, especially those with a history of health problems that might be triggered by gambling irresponsibly.
