Topic: Health Benefits of Gambling - page 10. (Read 2416 times)

I agree with you, if in gambling we only get wins and losses in the gambling we play, for those who experience defeat and lose their money in gambling it will certainly be a problem if they still want to gamble until they lose even more. the money they make in gambling.
For those who already have a history of high blood pressure, of course their blood pressure will rise when they lose in the game they are playing. It is necessary for them to be able to remain calm so that undesirable things don't happen with their existing history of the disease.

Well honestly those are very fine points that you have pointed out about the benefits and advantages of gambling, like they said everything has its advantages and disadvantages,  but speaking from my own angle, gambling has done more harm than good to me, mind you I'm not an addict, all I'm trying to say is that you pointed out that gambling helps to alleviate your mood but in my own case, gambling has ruined my mood more than it has fixed it and I know you know the reason why I said so, you can't tell me that you we'll have a great mood when you're losing all the time. Because I lose more than I win I don't know about all this but this has always been the case for me so I wouldn't agree with them notion that gambling helps to fix anyone's mood, technically not mine. Well I know that some people only gamble for fun but what's the fun in it when you're losing cash? Doesn't sound like fun to me, it's only fun when you're winning more than you're losing or when Your winning are equivalent to your losses. If it's not that then it's definitely not fun.

And speaking of helping someone to take risks, risks when it comes to gambling it's totally different with the risk attached to trading because gambling risk are influenced by your current state of mind while gambling, for example you're losing lots of money and you just want to make that big win that will recover all your losses, that moment, you start taking irrational risks that not worth taking, and we all know where that is going to land you.

Losing money is never been fun or something which is really that stress reliever and this is why it would really be that always wise that you should really be that trying out to accept on whatever things that you would really be able to encounter when you do deal with gambling. I dont really see about health benefits not unless you are really that enjoying on the money you are spending
neither it would really be a win or lose but it is really not that very common for people to have that kind of approach yet losing would really be that something that give out reactions
on which it is really that normal since we dont like on losing money. This is why its better to have other things that will really be able to make you enjoy rather than on making you
being that impulsive or something that will really be stressful because losing money is never been that a good thing or does give out that good feeling.

It can be seen from two directions, which direction do you want to see, if seen from a negative direction of course it might be difficult to get the benefits, there is only pressure to recover losses, usually they gamble for money and look for sources of income from gambling so they are not right. really enjoying the game also enjoys the benefits of gambling. So obviously that keeps him tense

If you look at it from the other side, for example, those who gamble for fun usually don't think too much about how to win, their minds are only focused on the game so they enjoy the game and there are benefits that come from pleasure as well as other things, it all depends on how they think, things The most correct thing is to think of gambling as entertainment

It's quite hard to say health benefit of gambling because gambling is a game where there gambler face profit or loss. The Gambler who gamble with experience and gambling strategy maximum they got profit but when the face losses its huge amount of losses that time the health condition of a gambler is too much the blood pressure increase they are in tension to recover the losses. When they are in profit their health condition is good but when they face losses because of its use amount they are too much in tension.

Whatever it was that helped him get out of depression, that's actually great as he surpassed one trial of his life.
But I do agree that if you are gambling with spare money and not thinking about losing it, it can be a stress-reliever.
Especially if you are betting occasionally and not very often. Like if you only bet when your favorite athlete is playing or your team is on the field.
If you won't get yourself too deep in this game, you will find out that you will enjoy your games without too much pressure.

With your words, I don’t think gambling has helped you handle anything. On the contrary, gambling was seemingly the cause of your depression then. You said it yourself,
“There is practically no amount of money I will lose today in any investment that I have not lost in gambling”.

Lots of people get depressed due to financial problems and this seemed to be your problem then. A problem that was cussed perhaps by excessive gambling. Something helped you come out of your depression and It doesn’t seem to be more gambling.

As gamblers we must be able to accept these risks. We can realize that gambling does not always give us wins but will give us more losses. Just think of gambling as a form of entertainment so let go of the money that has been used for gambling. Don't occasionally chase losses if you don't want to. experience more and more losses, sometimes gambling can provide health benefits if we use it sensibly and don't experience too much pressure because gambling can be a means of entertainment, pleasure and relaxation, comfort if we are able to control our thoughts well, dont think too much about gambling as bad, because bad thing depends on the person who uses it.

You are very correct on this. Personally, gambling help me handle depression because I have seen it all through gambling so nothing can depress me again when it has to do with money. There is practically no amount of money I will lose today in any investment that I have not lost in gambling and being able to survive times of huge loses strengthened me so much that I don't feel pain again over loses.

Through gambling too, I have been able to develop the courage to take smart risk in making other investment. I no longer allow the fear of losing money stop me from making investment all thanks to gambling that emboldened me.

more precisely, too much of anything will definitely have a bad impact, not just gambling.

I mean, if you use gambling as usual or dont overthink it, its just entertainment that you will pay a little money to have fun, of course you won't think of gambling as a place to earn money just to entertain yourself, you will definitely feel the benefits.

but on the other hand, if a gambler thinks gambling is too excessive, he thinks gambling is a place to make a profit or double his money, you will definitely feel bad impacts such as feeling anxious, always wanting to gamble and losing a lot of money because he is chasing losses.

that why gambling must be used sensibly or used not excessively, gambling responsibly to avoid bad impacts and be able to experience the benefits as OP said.

Losing can have a depressing impact on the losing gambler's market. They will lose control of themselves so that they cannot prevent the next loss, which might be bigger than the previous one. They also cannot get the benefits from gambling as said because they have lost control of themselves. If they don't realize this, they can get deeper into gambling and instead of being able to use gambling as entertainment, they will even become more eager to use gambling to make money. If this is the case, they will only experience prolonged stress and frustration, which may be difficult to cure. We don't need to use gambling for too long or too often, but only enough to prevent ourselves from various problems that will be caused by gambling.

As true as these health benefits appear to be, the reverse side of it is not always good when your expectations don't turn out to become a reality.

Lets say you take the risk, mood is lightened up and gets relieved of the stress and when you are done with the whole process without a win you plunge into what seems like a depressed state.

My idea is not to playdown on the health benefits but to let gamblers understand that because gambling helps with the stress levels and moods and risk taking habits, isn't enough reason to gamble when you are at these low points, it might get worse.

The truth is that everything must be enjoyed with moderation, even something as simple as drinking water, an activity that is often promoted by doctors as being good for your health, can be very dangerous if you drink high volumes of water in a short amount of time, and in extreme cases it can be even fatal.

Then it seems completely normal that if we are to enjoy gambling to its fullest we need to do so in moderation, and if that is not the case then we will suffer the consequences of not doing so, on the form of money lost or even an ongoing addiction.

It is also more educating when you gamble on some games like it keeps you informed on these games. For example like soccer, if you are a consistent gambler, you would know the updates of teams, new sign up or those on loan and transfer. In fact the general overview of the league or majority of the teams will be in your tips and that is being rich in information and it also helps your mental health.

Gambling will only really benefit when you come up with something that should be done, one of them is by not overdoing it in your gambling involvement, people gamble according to their needs, do you understand what I mean? yes they gamble just to find pleasure when they are bored and if they have got that pleasure then they will go and continue with other activities and they will not care too much for whatever the results are, if they win then they just say that "well it looks like today I was lucky enough" without any curiosity for something bigger.

I think that's the real benefit of gambling when you don't overdo it, it just gives you pleasure and puts you back in the mood to do other activities in your real life.

Seriously ? there is a health benefits from gambling >? this never comes to mind till now at my age , because what I do know is the mental effect of gambling but not mentally .

but thanks to this sharing now I know that there is such and will try to apply this in mine .

negative or positive yet both has an effect .

For that same reason, the forum is very important because they can educate newbies in some way. Before playing, there should be a complete guide on what they should do so that they do not become addicted. In fact, there is a thread that talks about a phenomenal guide that they have made and they talk about the advice, they also talk about all the things that being addicted to games can dare to do, or even being addicted to any thing, because it will always bring many problems for the person and those close to them, in This sense could say that the game can also turn out to be something therapeutic for people who suffer from stress, and I am the example, because before I didn't play slots, because it seemed to me that I couldn't win, in fact every time I tried it and lost everything in an impressive way, I even felt bad, but after reading many things about slot machines I discovered their benefits, and I learned something about how to bet, how to manage expenses and risks, everything.

Nowadays it's strange, but I play slots just to relax, something like to forget about the world even if it's for 5-10 minutes, but it's a time for me, what I feel is like when there's a soccer game in your country and you go to the stadium to support it, because you feel that you change everything and you are in a moment where what you do is enjoy the atmosphere of everything, and if you win well, if you lose it doesn't matter because you know that you can use and have fun and I think that it is worth it, I see it this way, as if it were a service, in fact it is a service, because a casino is actually a way to be in a place where you have and should enjoy, but that all of that is worth money, among other things. time is needed to play, because you should have more money, that is why it is so important to say that it is the money you have that you have to bet on, it is the only one that is willing to lose, for that reason I am not looking to win in the slots , just having fun.

Majority of people would really be always having that bad impressions towards gambling on which they wouldnt really be reconsidering about those health benefits on what you do have mentioned
about social interaction and enhancing cognitive skills which is actually true. It is really just that people do really end up on doing excessive engagement and this is why they do really ends up on a disaster.This is why it would really be always better that you should really be that mindful about on the actions that you are taking. Gambling could really be able to release
stress if you are really that treating gambling as some sort of entertainment but if you do go after on making money or really that serious on gaining
then once you do lost then it would really be worsen up the stress that you do currently have.

It can provide a temporary escape from daily stressors, promote social interaction and enhance cognitive skills such as decision making and strategic thinking.

Moderate gambling may boost mental well being by increasing dopamine levels. It’s crucial to approach gambling responsibly and within one's means to avoid potential harm.

Actually, before they gamble, they have to have self-control so they won't be tempted by anything in the casino later. However, most people will not practice this self-control well because they still underestimate self-control, causing many gamblers to lose self-control when gambling. This makes them experience mental health problems because slowly, they will only think about gambling and want to visit casinos more often than usual. They want to gamble without doing other things that will damage their mental health.

Eye strain will be disturbed, and that is the most fatal because they will not be able to see clearly. His eyes will have difficulty seeing things because his vision becomes blurry. Apart from blurred vision, their health may also start to suffer because they will start to eat less and only sit in front of their computer. They also rarely drink water, so that it will affect their stomach and other things. Many things can cause health problems, so gamblers who still frequently gamble must be aware of this.
