Why did I create this topic: My nephew noticed that after I come home from work that involves sitting the whole day, I continue to play or gamble for hours, so he gave me a warning that too much sitting will have a bad effect on gambling.

Many gamblers are likely to suffer from mental, emotional, and financial issues, but do you know that there is a health risk that many gamblers who are playing online are not aware of? Sitting for too long; if you are a work-from-home guy or working in the office and you sit the whole time you are at work, and you continue to play online for hours, you can suffer from these health risks.

You just made me feel Dejavu about a bet I did one time. It was a sport day in school and we had argument, out of over confidence, a line was drawn that we should set a bet that our math's teacher is going to come to the class because majority of math's teachers don't missed their period but I was arguing that he is sick that he isn't going to come and I bet my launch money for 45 minute of two period. That was the longest day I was feeling feverish and sweeting at the same time and luckily for me, he never came and I won but I still pity him and gave him back his money Grin

This is what you get when you bet more than you can afford to lose, you will feel inconvenience after putting that money, you will not gamble with peace of mind, their will be anxiety and all of these combined can affect your health. If you are the type with severe sickness like High blood pressure, you can collapsed with such pressure and wouldn't be able to survive after. Detest from gambling what you can't afford to lose.

There are chronic gamblers who are glued in their chair for hours, and they are likely to develop these health risks.
How about you? Are you aware that sitting too long while playing without interruption can be harmful to your health?

Will close this topic after 3 days.

There is some truth to what you say, however this problem is not limited to only gamblers, there are hundreds of millions of people out there who have very lethargic job roles and lives in general. Office workers will often be stuck behind a computer for at least 8 hours a day and could end up in the same position you mention. I'd say the one distinguishing factor and the thing that could make the situation worse for gamblers, is the fact that those wins can give you a big adrenaline and dopamine rush which can trigger your heart to beat faster, it's abnormal to be in that heightened sensory emotion on an irregular basis. Often you only expect to get those rushes very occasionally, but if you're chasing those wins every day then it can really mess with your mind.

This health problem about sitting for too long will mainly affect gamblers with addiction problem and those gamblers that are jobless who see gambling as an income source, because it takes only chronic gamblers and a jobless person to comfortably spend hours in one position gambling all day with no other commitments or engagements.

I think this is the first time I'll be reading a health gambling related topic. And I must say it is worth it. Before I continue I want to say that the number of screentime we used to have have doubled thanks to online technologies you can do almost everything from the comfort of your room staring at a screen. It goes to say we'll be seeing more diagnosis of screen related eye issues. For this topic, someone rightly said sitting is the new smoking and I couldn't agree more. Guys, do yourself a favor and don't sit for too long. Your future healthy self is going to thank you for it

To be honest I am already having uncomfortable experience lately with my eyes, it all started this very year, whenever I use my PC or smart phone for an hour plus every word starts getting blurry. A friend advised that I use blue-ray glasses to manage the condition because am one guy that has phobia for medicated glasses right from childhood.

There is no reason that can justify that there is no effect of gambling on health. Psychologically, the effect closest to reality according to theory is to experience emotional (stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders to stop the impact of the heart) or have experienced mental problems.

For me gambling is not always on the negative effect because gambling can be enjoyed to eliminate stress instead of choosing to get drunk that makes people lose consciousness. Gambling as a pleasure entertainment is not playing gambling to pursue profits by spending hours.
If gambling is done with time management and money without expecting special wealth in gambling, for me it is the category of having fun gambling.

I am aware of that, I know many people who sit all day and complain about all the pain they feel... one of them & closest is my mother, she is an accountant and she sits all day, when she gets back home she sits and watches some shows on laptop.

There is a saying here: The back hurts from a lot of work, but also from a lot of lying down. The bottom line, it's not good to overdo anything, what is good is to have some balance in life and to keep all the muscles active throughout the day, every day. If something is neglected it will start to creak sooner or later.

It can also be applied to gamblers, but this applies to all people regardless of what they do.

Gambling is a game that makes you greedy and impulsive. When you win a bet you always want to bet more. An addicted gambler can tell how much time he gambles Again they bet more money trying to recoup their losses and probably they are going to lose more. However everything should be done in a range and gambling should be done considering certain money and time. Also keep yourself busy with other work and don't use phone and laptop too much.

The symptoms or diseases you listed here as a result of constant sitting and focusing much on laptop or screen is mostly cause by our place of work in the office and not gambling. I don't see how the little time you gamble online can cause such kind of mental, emotional and financial issues. I believe we spend more house in our working place than gambling except for those gambling agent that work in the casino hall that may be prone to such sickness. The truth of the matter is that, In Anywhere we are working or gambling, we should give ourselves break by walking around, going out to get fresh air outside. Talk to people, do some some exercise and eat healthy food to avoid health issues.

If you are not told, you won't be able to learn some of the implications of sitting in one place for a long cause to one health. Many people have been having one or many problems with their health all because they are at a place sterling at their gadgets, gambling, playing games, trading, watching movies, etc.

I was once lectured on this when I had to go to the hospital complaining of vision problems. The doctor had to explain to me the real cause of it, why it is so "sitting in a place for too long, gluing my eyes to the laptop".

Ever since learning this, I began to learn not to stay in a seat for long and also learn how to stay a bit far from the reflection of my laptop so as not to hit directly to my eyes.

I agree that sitting in one posture for long is not good for health but you can always have a 2 or 3 minute walk after sitting for an hour or so. And this should be done in the office where you spend around 8 to 9 hours. So when you come to home, how many hours do you gamble? I think it will be way less than the time spent in the office.

I hope you got my point here. Do not blame the health risk in this case to gambling only where you may spend a max of 2 or 3 hours while you remain seated in the office for 9+ hours. So i think we should first try to fix how we can be more flexible in the office and not be in sitting position for so many hours.

This might not be related to gambling but its something that would really be considered to be general on which on the moment that you do find yourself having those jobs online on which sitting up a long period of time will really be having that kind of possible impact specially if it would really be that might not be seen on early but later on it would already that showing up some symptoms. Gambling should really be just that for the sake of fun but there were people who are really that serious too much on how they would really be gonna dealing up with gambling on which they are really that expecting something positive which its not really that something that you must do because it will really be creating such desperation on which we know that we cant be able to stop that not unless if you do really accept into those probabilities
in the first place. People would really be just that eventually learn things on the time or moment that they do experience shit conditions.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Quote from: Awaklara on August 05, 2024, 11:37:53 AM

our bodies still need physical activity to maintain fitness. if we have been working all day without much movement, of course we need our own time to train our bodies and muscles. it can make special time for regular exercise.
I also experienced the situation you did. but believe me when you give your body a little time to do activities, then you will really feel the difference in your body. I have tried it and feel better.

so doing gambling activities must also have time control. now start planning our time well. don't just open a casino and keep playing until you run out of time.

Thankfully you can gamble on your phone in different positions, for instance lying on your back or standing.
No position is good for us in the long run. Standing or lying in bed are both bad if you do it for too long. The healthiest is to switch stances every 30 minutes, stand up. walk around, stretch your neck and so on. You can even jump up a few times or do a few pushups. It's also healthy to relax your eyes by going to the window and looking at distant things, like flying birds.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

Quote from: Frankolala on August 05, 2024, 10:52:46 AM

Exercise is good for those who are sitting long at work because there must be side effects. This is one of the reason why I use both my phone and my laptop to gamble because sometimes I would love to change positions and postures when using my phone.

Gambling should not be done frequently especially when you are stressed up yourself at work, you should rest and stretch your body to avoid future health issues. Have a time limit for your gambling activities during the week days and weekends.

The best solution here is do not gamble when you have a long day work. Do it with your day off or free time wherein your body hasn’t been in a long sitting position the whole day. And when you gamble, set your time duration as to what time you will stop gambling so you won’t be facing the monitor while sitting for hours because clearly, that won’t be good in the long run. There’s no really problem with gambling, as long as you know how to discipline yourself and won’t abuse of your time and body.

This back pain and other related challenges are one of the main reasons why I'm trying so hard to make myself more comfortable using my mobile device for many things that it can permit me to do without the need for a PC, as I can be using it no matter the position I'm in at any given moment.

Health is wealth, be it work, which gives one earning, or gambling for fun. I have tried so hard to avoid anything that will leave me sitting for a long period of time without standing up.

This depends on gamble you play and the device you use. If it is sports betting, you don't need to sit all day after you have made your analysis.

Making analyses can also require time but it depends on the number of matches that you want to select. In-play can be very addictive. But know that gambling is different from betting. If you bet, you bet on sport. If you gamble, you gamble on casinos. I hope you now understand their differences.

Yes, sitting for too long without paying attention to body posture can bring negative consequences for our spine, possibly becoming a hunchback. However, to gamble while sitting isn't the only alternative for gamblers. You can also play while lying on your bed through a smartphone or notebook device. You can gamble upstanding or in any other position you think it's comfortable for you. And if you are sitting, make sure to choose a chair which will adjust anatomically to your body in a convenient way, especially if you are going to stay on the same position for a long time.

It's easier to be said than done, though, as I should be paying more attention to this detail on my daily routine. I confess I'm being careless about my health on this aspect. I should get an appropriate chair as soon as possible for myself.

It is only casino games that might require so much time. In addition, if the device is a mobile phone, it does not really require sitting for too long as dice, slots and other games can be played while moving around.

However, it is important will take health related issues seriously, both physical and mental health. Gambling is known to trigger all manners of health related challenges, so the gambler must be mindful of his habits and actions.

I can attest to this. I once worked as a freelancer online, where I had to sit for 7 to 9 hours and 2 to 3 hours playing and gambling. I gained 15 kilos in just two months, and I noticed that my blood sugar was unstable because of the weight I gained.
A fitness trainer advised me to take at least 15 minutes of breaks every two hours so I could burn the carbohydrates, as I was eating a lot because of my work. So yes, sitting for a long period of time without interruption is very risky.

The health risks such as obesity and all related issues such as hip joint pain, heart failure etc can come through from having a lifestyle that lacks physical activity. This really can happen to anyone. Can you imagine associating this issues with chess playing? Well the activity of chess also doesn't require physical activity... But why just gambling? Gambling is more connected to other issues that can cause or compound depression. So of course in the end it's likely this issue affected many aspects of life such as stopping physical activity.

A balance is needed in life when doing several things not just gambling.

Sedentary work is not even good. If you have a sedentary work, it is better you do some exercises at times just to exercise your body and to make you sleep easily.

Gambling for too long is not good. That is why I gamble sometimes for short time. I can just use 5% of my weekly income on roulette at once and try my luck. But sometimes I just feel like to gamble for long and use lower amount like $0.5 each time.

Whatever work that comes with abuse, it’s literally not good and unhealthy. Sitting or standing for quite long hours will create an effect on your body negatively, you may not feel it at the present but eventually it will develop later on.

Too much gambling as well is not safe at all. Aside that it damages your pocket, your health is also at risk. Your eyes as well as your heart might eventually develop some complications later on, emotional and mental stress could lead to depression and anxiety, and will end up damaging your internal organs without us knowing.
