Topic: Gambling in Moderation, Pros can out weigh its Cons in Financial and Health? (Read 2311 times)

I read the financial benefit part which is true but that is the main reason for most people are getting addicted to it so if someone has the desire to win those big numbers which occurs rarely and keep pushing themselves to make it happen then sadly they have high chance of getting the result on other side and possibly even go bankrupt so gamble with your limits because we are the one who knows our financial situation better than anyone else.

Gambling is not all about winning and taking out profits but it's also about entertainment. They don't focus on their losses but they focus on the experience. Stress reduction is true if you don't gamble for profits because if you lose which can occur likely then you will feel more stressed. Same goes with relaxation and comfort. Gambling improves skills most especially if you play for profit and then the game you are playing are skill based like card games.

Makes you Happier - You will only feel happy when you win and that what gamblers feel. I don't know somebody who will feel happy when they lose money
Stress reduction - Well, after a long hour of work, gambling might be the way for the gamblers to reduce their stress so... yeah I agree with this one.
Relaxation and Comfort - Only if you win because your winnings can be used in other ways for the gambler will be relaxed and feel comfortable
Improves your Skills - In any aspect of life, whatever you are doing, you will always be learning things. I as a gamer learned how to be flexible, how to increase my reaction time and how to be a multi-tasking person. For sure gamblers are the same as well.
Helps with Socialization - Especially when the gambler is in a physical casino, they will always be socializing with other gamblers as well.
Potential for Big Wins - Only if you are lucky enough to win.

The annoying part is when we start winning we forget about the limitation thinking that we can recover the money in a quicker process can lead or will lead us to lose everything back, it's important to learn how to control yourself, emotionless gambling with the intension of trying to cope up with losses.

Though it really depends on how you will manage yourself and controlling all your emotions, patience is always a big factor
to change the tempo of the outcome of your gambling activities.

It is true that this is something done not only by those which are addicted to gambling since even regular gamblers fall into that behavior, but without a doubt it is a behavior that should immediately raise a red alert in our minds, as it shows lack of self-control and it could eventually lead to an addiction, so if someone has lost their self-control recently and chased their losses then it is the moment to reflect about what happened and probably take a break and not gamble for a long period of time.

It is true that this is something done not only by those which are addicted to gambling since even regular gamblers fall into that behavior, but without a doubt it is a behavior that should immediately raise a red alert in our minds, as it shows lack of self-control and it could eventually lead to an addiction, so if someone has lost their self-control recently and chased their losses then it is the moment to reflect about what happened and probably take a break and not gamble for a long period of time.

Chasing losses is made by not only an addicted gambler but also other gamblers because experiencing defeat at gambling is very unpleasant and can give bad memories in our memory. This makes many gamblers still want to return to gambling because they indirectly think that apart from having fun, they also want to try to recover from previous losses. We can accept the defeat and not chase the losses that we experienced before but it is difficult to get rid of that thought and only by continuing to have good discipline can help us to avoid bigger defeats than before.

Exactly. People must understand that although winning in gambling is possible, it is always a bit less likely than losing. Thus, planning to make money with it is stupid. Have fun. Don't go beyond your limits. If you win big amount by chance, that's great, celebrate, But don't think: "Now I know how to make money without working!".

Everything which is excess is really bad and you should watch out for that and with your actions which you arent really that dumb on not to foresee at least on what are the potential
things that might happen ahead if you do really make yourself get involved and keeps on making bad decisions specially with gambling which can really cause up some addiction
which would really be giving all the negative possible effects and outcome for a certain individual might able to face off.Play for fun and dont go beyond with your means
specially on making yourself that rich via gambling because thats not how it works.

Many of us have experienced that annoying part several times and not just once because our greed level will increase with our victory. If we get wins over and over again, it will be more tempting for us to keep trying again and again, to get that victory. This is where it is necessary to have good self-control so that we will not get caught up in gambling and get out on time. Patience also plays an important role in assisting us in playing gambling because, with patience, we can control emotions that can increase at any time.

It's true, and I think we've experienced that when we've won a few times. But as long as we can moderate our gambling games, I don't think our confidence will increase because we always remember that luck is a determining factor in winning gambling, and not everyone can be lucky. We can only try to play fairly and hope that we can win but never hope that we can win many times because it is very difficult.

We're very much confident when we keep on winning and that's why we're not scared to keep moving.

It involves and affects the mental health of the gambler because he thinks that while hitting those bets with a win and luck, nobody can stop them from pursuing.

Until everything drops and loss starts to come.

After all, these are the benefits "only" when gambling is being taken with moderation. The problem is only few are doing that or at least know how to control themselves because there are more losers in gambling than winners. Many can't control their emotions thus, they are losing more money. Well after giving the benefits, I still believe that the cons still outweighs the pros because not all gamblers can gamble with moderation but on the other hand, gamblers can still experiences the cons that a gambler is experiencing.

~snip~Financially speaking, if you won't gamble in moderation and responsibly, you will end up going bankrupt. Getting addicted in gambling could cost you so much to the point that you might get tons of debt in the process of wanting to gamble continuously. Regarding health aspect, if you won't gamble moderately, you might end up getting addicted. And getting addicted is a serious matter. You might become dependent on it. Meaning, your system will keep on craving for it despite it harming your health.

If you become addicted, your body clock might change. Your habits could lead to some serious diseases that might affect your overall well-being.

Always set out limitations not only on gambling but also in other things in life as well on which you should really be that having moderation so that you wont really be ending up on a disaster.
You wouldnt only affect your financial but also your health whether physically or psychological which we do really know that it would really be a big problem once these things would be affected.
Do everything in moderation so that you would be no problems in ahead speaking about financial specially involving with gambling which we know that this is really
talking about spending up money and prone to addiction.

That's the reason why we are always advised to know our limitations so we won't exceed too much. If we don't know when to stop, there's a huge possibility that we'll bet more than our allocated funds for gambling. Consistent winning might tempt us to bet continuously so we must be aware about our decisions and actions. We should not exceed beyond our limits despite the excitement that we feel.
