Topic: Health Benefits of Gambling - page 15. (Read 2416 times)

Addicted gamblers will not look for them. That is why they are addicts and for them the only pleasurable activity is gambling.

You cant just pull such a person away from playing. It would be like taking an addict away from their drug.

Although the OP talks about some benefits, I opine that the risks far outweigh the benefits. Those who start playing for fun eventually get addicted, hence this should be checked and people made aware of the evils as well.

And indeed that stage should be feared by everyone who gambles, because obviously if they are late in terms of prevention and then enter the addiction phase honestly I'm not sure if they will be able to face such conditions with the many pressures that are there because of financial problems and the final results that always do not match expectations. Therefore for anyone who is now approaching gambling I hope they will remain firm and gamble with the right self-control, no matter if their goal is only to seek pleasure I would still advise prevention, because obviously even if they come only to seek entertainment when they feel bored it will not always be able to cover the possibility that they also have the opportunity to eventually enter into addiction without them realizing it.

Everyone does have the freedom to choose entertainment to relieve their stress but in my opinion they should look at various sides first before finally deciding, gambling is quite fun but you also have to see that on the other hand this activity has risks that you never even expected, so in my opinion it's better for you to be wiser in choosing entertainment venues, it's better to find other activities that are entertaining but without risk, after all your goal is just to have fun, right? so yes it's better to find other alternatives in my opinion.

Gambling is bad when we are in the addiction stage but if we just gamble for fun and entertainment -- that was right, it is a stress reliever and it connects our mood and mentality.
And I've found why some people hate gambling and that is because they thought that this would be the right place to make a good living but it is unfortunate that it was not. Instead of making it a stress reliever, it even causes the worst, it happens that it fuels stress and bad moods as being desperate to get back their money. Can be in good and positive effects, and it depends on the gambler.

Winning can indeed improve your health condition, but don't forget that winning is not easy and many people have failed and only lost so much that they become frustrated. The positive side of gambling may be able to give us something so that we can focus on gambling, but when compared to the negative side of gambling, there may be more negative sides than positive sides. We have to know what the negative and positive sides are so that we can think about whether there are benefits from gambling or whether it will only provide negative sides for us. And if there is no benefit, we don't need to gamble too often or even use gambling as entertainment. It will eliminate the negative side of gambling because we will look for other ways to get pleasure.

A simple but reasonable mediating statement, basically it is true that gambling will not always be bad, and the impact of good or bad depends on the perspective and use of each person - each, if indeed they come just for entertainment then I think it will not be a problem because it is true that gambling can give us pleasure as long as our intentions come really - really to get entertainment and not for other things that are excessive such as for example looking for income. The point is that we must be completely rational in looking at this gambling, do not exaggerate by putting expectations and assumptions that do not match the facts that always occur. For those who gamble by always being aggressive then obviously I can already confirm that it seems like they are one of the people who bring the wrong mindset in gambling, such as for example wanting to produce and what happens is clearly the opposite, the defeat is even more, none other than that because gambling is absolutely not a place to make money, we must understand.

So I hope that whoever it is,  especially those who are new to gambling, to better understand the positive and negative impacts that exist in gambling, especially in terms of significant risks there, so with that I think you will not experience things that are not wanted like other people who are addicted, becausee you bring the right mindset.

The author of the post already clarified that negative effect of gambling has dominated discussion here and he suggesting we also look at the positive health benefit. Dwelling on the negative effect might suggest that there are not positive health benefit. If we want to go that lane, what about the hope that gambling gives? What about the joy of winning? Are these not things that can improve health condition? Most people that suffer depression are actually despondent. Gambling removes this tendency and also improve our ability to absorb shocking news. There are several other positive sides of gambling as you can already see from the discussions here.

You are right on what you said about gambling not always bad because in as much as most people wrong perception on gambling there are also people who are doing very well now through the help of gambling so for me I think it depends on individual ways of gambling because there are people who gamble aggressively and when they lose they tend to capture gambling as a bad game.

In as much as gambling maybe game that involves the use of money but some how I see it as a game of fun, because whenever we have a gambling discussions the kind joy we derive is very good to an extend that we picture ourselves on the playing field, so in one way or another gambling has really helped many both in health benefits and wining of money.

Losing weight indeed! of course you will lose weight after losing a $100k to gambling after you must have sat down all day  thinking about it, you won't only lose weight but lose health too

No man takes joy in losing money, they might try so hard to pretend and fake a smile in public but in their closet they get lost in thought, filled with a feeling of regret, pains and stress all of these usually when we don't gamble responsibly by making use of money we can afford to let go of lost. 

I have heard a real event about a gambler that lost huge money to gambling and ended up walking home barefooted with his shoes in his hands... Reading the op and remembering that event, am wondering the brand of health benefits that man went home with on that day.

Losses wont really be that much of in concern or really something that serious if you are really just that making or using of the money or funds on which you can really that able to afford to lose.
It wont really be that much of an issue if you do really have this kind of mindset but just like on what you have said that on the time that you would really be always doing out this kind of activity or engagement with gambling then there's no way that you would really be able to changed up your impression and mindset or goals behind on which it would really be gradually be that molding that kind of idea
that making money is really t hat easy with gambling and once this kind of thoughts goes inside into your mind then better make some break and never consider on playing gambling again.

Health benefits? I dont think so which i do believe that this is really just that solely focusing for entertainment. For adrenaline rush kind of seeking then there are things which is more better
and something that doesnt really need up to spend a dime for you to be able to get that thrill you are seeking but well each person does have their own preference and this is why
its not shocking that they would really be that preferring on things that interest them.

The thrill of every good spin in gambling is indeed very pleasant, everyone feels it and I think they will also agree with my/your assumptions above. It's an adrenaline rush and when the spin or even the final result is in our favor then obviously you will feel great pleasure. But on the other hand, don't let yourself be fooled by everything that looks fun that you see there, most people are deceived by their own assumptions and expectations, starting from fun and continuing without any restrictions at all, which finally they think that the opportunities that exist in gambling can really be used to make a living, honestly that mindset is not recommended.

I hope you stay firm on your control and limits, don't put more hope in gambling, because casinos only want you to lose, they give one win just to tempt you and then they will continue to make your losses even more dominant.

I agree with the research stated in the article, moreover I myself have experienced this when I play gambling, especially slot gambling, I really like the animation and also the adrenaline that comes out or appears when I play slots but I can still control myself, when I feel , I am not lucky in a few rounds so I will change the game I play, I will not stop until I run out of capital, gambling will not be bad if we only use it as a means of relieving stress or entertainment because when you want to get rich quickly from gambling then I hope you prepare yourself to end up disappointed.

Mental health is something that we must take care of and maintain well. And to keep our mental health good, we must at least have activities that can give us joy and activities that can relieve our minds when we experience stress so that our emotions can be vented by doing these activities. And indeed gambling is an activity that is considered to give us pleasure and can relieve stress. Even though this activity is too risky, because it is possible that when this gambling is out of control, a feeling of addiction to gambling and greed and love of money arises, then this gambling will become a double-edged sword and will have the opposite impact, namely making a person become more stressed because he often experiences continuous losses in gambling.

So it needs to be underlined that gambling will only be beneficial for mental health when we are wise and responsible in playing it. If not, then this gambling will only become a poison that will only make our situation worse.

Gambling is not always bad, it does have good things, as stated in the article. But of course this applies to those who have made gambling a hobby. Apart from that, it also applies to those who can control themselves, but for those who are new to gambling, of course this will be negative.

In conclusion, this article is not for all gamblers. I myself often play gambling when I'm feeling stressed or relieve fatigue, by playing gambling my mind is a little entertained, especially when playing offline gambling.

Discussed where? Here? In this thread? Well yeah, I see that the OP didn't do that but that is because he also knows that it was always being discussed else where and it is over shadowing the positive effects. Before we start playing, I think it's important to know our conditions first.

If we think gambling is one of the things or activities that can trigger it, I wouldn't do it because it can only worsen your conditions. I'd fixed them up first. Only those who commit a crime are already severely addicted to it, that they already lost everything on them. Children are still young and they can still correct their lives, if they are exposed early in gambling.

We are all know that there's a bad and good sides of a gambling and the bad sides is once we can not control ourselves then we got into addiction which is pretty bad enough once we are addicted cause there's a chance that if we don't have enough money then we sell our belongings in order rot fulfilled our wants.
And the good sides of being a gambler is you can relieve all your problem once you are gamble in your favorite game.

Other than relieving the stress, there’s nothing more I can think of concerning the benefits of gambling.With cited benefits of gambling, in particular with taking the risk; it is not always essential.Not to all people and not with all instances, taking the risk would be advised, for us to improve it. There will be times choosing the safest way to resolve a matter, would be bettersuch as with knowing when to stop after winning a good amount. Well to some people, it is, but given the fact that not to majority, then I doubt it is one of the bright sides of gambling.

everything is quite reasonable and it is true if we can really feel it when gambling responsibly and I will not give anything additional but I am interested in some of the writings in number #6 explaining about the brain.

I think this is the same as brain therapy so that we dont get stuck in serious problem and make us depressed, just as we live, we need to work to provide therapy to our brain so that we dont think about something that is hard, it makes us depressed and becomes crazy and yes, its true that gambling has the benefits as explained, it can help us get rid unpleasant thoughts in our minds, provided we are not gambling addicts.

quite agree that gambling has a positive impact on many people if one gambles responsibly. because if we look at cases of people falling into poverty or committing crimes because of gambling, it all starts with their irresponsibility towards their gambling. they don't control their gambling and tend to ignore their thoughts and feelings, which makes their gambling toxic and the impact is that they do things they shouldn't do. if only someone gambles responsibly, it is certain that their gambling will have a positive impact on their life.

Whenever i do see some words about talking for gambling to relieve stress then i do really totally contradictory with this word on which it would really be just that making you more stressful
rather than on having some entertainment or easing out your stress. Its true that there's no fun on losing money and this is why on the time that you would really be engaging with gambling then get prepared would really be the best thing to be done. If you do find out yourself that getting more stressed with it then gambling isnt for you.

This is also on what i do feel on the time that i do really play up with some gambling on which there are really moments that i do really get mad or having that kind of
impulsive feeling on which we know that losing is never been entertaining or something enjoyable. You should really get used  to it
and its always been that recommended that you should only play on the amount which you can afford to lose.

When you're into gambling, then you will understand the need to always have fun through it especially when you're already worn out, on a normal day, we are expected to always be happy, that happiness is working with the stipulated hormones in our body to make the consciousness of the brain get aware that we are doing well, then we will be fine in whatever we are doing because we are satisfied and contempted with them all while gambling because it gives us the pride of being happy always each time we are gambling.
