Topic: Gambling in Moderation, Pros can out weigh its Cons in Financial and Health? - page 11. (Read 2289 times)

I don't mind this stuff honestly. I just gambling on my own.

If you are responsible enough to play wisely, there should be no problem.

Just play relaxed and be comfortable so that we are not stressed. Gambling in moderation is good but it doesn't mean we should always keep it that way. Look at those professional gamblers, gambling almost every day but they are still disciplined and responsible gamblers in the end.

^ Everything that OP said was right but if we don't have self-control and everything turns into too much usage or it becomes an addiction.
The last one could be a risky one, (Potential for Big Wins) that is why many gamblers are addicted to gambling because of chasing this and hoping that one day, they will become an instant millionaire on gambling. Everything said was right but people should limit themselves to the possible consequences come.
However, thank you OP for this thread and it will motivate someone to gamble we hope everyone just gambles for fun not for chasing money.

Anything excess is harmful so players should really gamble in moderation to avoid any huge damage taken from what decisions they do and gambling is made for entertainment, so people should not defeat the purpose on why this type of games created since if they exceed on their expectation and want for more especially on earning a huge money for sure they will never go anywhere and will just put on risky situation.

As we know, someone who will be happy in gambling is not those who consider gambling only as for fun. ut in my opinion is someone who can really manage and control their eagerness, emotion, money, risks, and also activities in gambling. So, they may not be too happy when winning, and not too sad when losing.
if we have good on those things at least, we can control our emotions not to feel depression every time we are losing or not winning. But, this doesn't mean that we only control the emotion, but we must also analyze and learn why we are losing, there should be any evaluation and expect to have winning later.
SOmeone who are often losing in gambling commonly will easily get stressed and depression, moreover if they are not using free money for gambling, itis a big mistake and disaster for him and also for family probabily.
The influence as you said not only in our financial problems but also on ourhealt both physical and also mentally, moroever this will also infleunce our social problems in daily life

I fully agree.
Gambling, as well as any type of entertainment, is very beneficial for anyone's health.
The problem is that gambling is highly addictive and most people who indulge in it cannot control themselves.
Then, what was supposed to be something pleasurable, fun and healthy ends up becoming a big problem.

Gambling needs to be seen only as casual, moderate entertainment, not a way to get rich or be played constantly.

• Makes you Happier - When you win.
• Stress Reduction - increase the stress when lost. Very few consider it for fun/entertainment.
• Relaxation and Comfort - Recalls the loss and always think of the way to recover.
• Improves your Skills - I don't know in what way it is improving one's skills, because all we learn is strategies to win. Apart from that we do collection of information.
• Helps with Socialization - More gamblers have turned friends through online and offline gambling platforms which is true.
• Potential for big wins - You need to be extremely lucky or in the process of being lucky what you get out of the luck will be lower than what you have spend to achieve it.

Don't think that I've made things with a negative perspective. This is the reality that happens with the normal gambler. What is being mentioned through the article is all about the gamblers who have a big bag of money and never mind of win/loss.

This is why most experts advise doing things in moderation.  Anything that is excessive is harmful both to our health and finance.  Gamblers often ignore this kind of advice since they are too hooked on getting huge multipliers.  We all know being greedy do not give a good result.  We will end up either losing more or worst than that.  That is why we should strictly implement gambling moderation.  Let the big win take its course while we are playing in our perfectly planned responsible gambling engagement.

Responsible gamblers know all of these they've to strive on their limit and maintain their moderation, there are a lot of benefits to moderation and we can only moderate gambling if we are not very much into it like having a good family relationship, better working condition, and a healthy environment, that gambling will not take most of our time putting the right perspective in gambling will give us a lot of benefits and we can truly enjoy gambling.

This is an interesting article- most of the time we associate and perceive gambling addiction as something negative. But with the article you posted, there are at least, some positive effects of gambling when done in moderation. I guess, we often times overlook the things that give us positive effects when done in moderation.

Though I am curious- is gambling done in moderation considered also an addiction? I mean, if something is done consistently, will that tantamount and equate to addiction? I just hope that the fact that gambling in moderation can bring positive results, this does not rationalize and advocate gambling in general.

This is where i do see where most people do really focus on on which the pros would be seeing on this spot where someone could potentially earn huge amount of money specially on hitting
big multipliers or jackpots which you could actually say that majority of us gamblers do see this as a pro but we know that having that intent on a severe manner could really be ending up
on someone on ending up on being addicted thats why it would really act out as a double blade if you dont really make yourself in good control then you would really fall into the pit of addiction.
Majority of those things above are indeed the pro sides but if things turns out to be excessive then it would be eventually goes to the negative side of things.
So lets just be wary and careful on our actions is the key on making yourself safe.

Everything that is of excess is harmful what more on something where you're putting money and had a chance to double or triple it, gamblers should strive to moderate their gambling activity and the money they're pouring, but gamblers after many sessions go for higher dopamine they want to more of the excitement, they want more of the challenge to win and this is where addiction came in and this is where we lose control we want to reach our dopamine level.

Everyone has negative connotations when it comes to gambling activity but little that we know that gambling when done in moderation can offer great benefits to our mental and physical health and finance.

According to this articles[1][2][3] gambling if done in moderation can give us the following benefits.

Makes you Happier - this is no doubt a known effect of gambling and is backed by studies.  It was said that the happiness of individuals rose when they are engaged in gambling activities.

Stress reduction - stress factor is one of the major reason why many people become depressed and possible mental degradation and retardation.  Gambling as an entertainment help to minimize this stress.  Gambling in moderation is also known for its stress-relieving effect.

Relaxation and Comfort -  relaxation and comfort help the brain to erase any traces of or form of worries from the mind.  It also safeguard our mental health.

Improves your Skills -  this is more focus on observation, reaction and mental task of brain on determining patterns and numbers.  This is very beneficial to brain since it exercises our brain when engaged in gambling activity.

Helps with Socialization -  human are social beings, so every person has a need to belong.  Gambling activities help provide this to people engaged in gambling.

Potential for Big Wins Well gambling is a game of chance where if you got lucky and hit a huge multiplier, you can bring home a huge amount of money.



Engaging in gambling in moderation will greatly save us financial losses compared to engaging in entertainment outdoor.  Aside from that, recreational activities such as picnics, watching movies, and playing arcade games often have our finance in an outflow system.  The only reward is entertainment and happiness whereas, if engage in gambling there is a chance of getting back what we spent since gambling always involved a chance of getting back what we bet in a certain multiplier. Of course, we are talking about gambling in moderation.  Besides this kind of control, we are far from developing a gambling disorder.

Aside from the personal benefits, we are also contributing to our country's income by playing in their gambling infrastructure.  It is proven that the development of gambling addiction in a gambling engagement in moderation is highly unlikely.  With that, do you think it is worth moderating our gambling engagement to maximize the benefits of gambling activities?
