Topic: Health Benefits of Gambling - page 9. (Read 2242 times)

Can controlled gambling be beneficial? Gambling has been shown to relieve stress and promote social connection for some people, according to research. It's like other risk-and-reward entertainment when handled correctly. We must distinguish between recreational and compulsive gambling, which harms personal and social life. However, can the former not teach risk assessment and decision-making?

Isn't it about balance and self-awareness? Responsible gambling, where boundaries are stated and followed, may not cause your problems. Understanding gambling's thrill of uncertainty and reward is key. Could it improve strategic thinking and problem-solving with caution and moderation? This balanced view acknowledges human variety and the opportunity for varied gambling experiences without downplaying the devastating effects of gambling addiction.

Gambling can never be good for health as the person suffers a lot from the physical aspect gambling damage after its effects on health. Gambling addiction is a condition where a person cannot resist the urge to gamble which leads to negative consequences in their personal social and financial life. This sometimes goes beyond gambling and becomes a chronic problem that affects their overall well being. The negative aspects of gambling can affect people from all walks of life regardless of their intelligence character or moral standing.

The good and bad impacts of gambling depend on the gambler himself, how they approach and also behave when gambling, if gambler can truly be responsible and they don't make mistakes such as being greedy, chasing to recover losses, then the positive impact will also be greater.
Of course, it is not complicated problem because even though beginners experience various bad effects, it is better because they can learn to be wiser and try with several efforts to avoid these bad effects.
It is true that it takes difficulty to be able to get convenience and this is also related to the impact that is obtained from gambling

When gambler only aims to have fun then losing is not problem that bothers them so for those who have the right approach they can be sure they can accept all forms of risk and also the consequences of losing money when gambling.
Maybe you say all this because you haven't been able to get these various health benefits, but for those gamblers who have really been able to experience it, they will certainly say that there are various benefits that can be taken.
I sure most of what they say here is based on their own experiences in gambling.

Likewise, I can't imagine that gambling has any benefit to one's health. What does the OP in this thread mean by health when someone wins and he feels health in his mind because he feels happy and has a lot of money??
It is very true what you say, that by gambling only a few people will be lucky in the casino and more and more people will experience losses, therefore we should gamble just for fun and not look for additional financial gain, because the consequences of the risk of gambling are very large . bad . If a gambler cannot accept it, he will most likely experience life problems and even self-disorder (depression).

Isnt it true, however, that the nature of gambling inherently involves risk and uncertainty? This is attractive and dangerous. You mention mood; losses might lower spirits. Doesnt that represent gambling's random nature? Your experiences demonstrate that gambling's effects are individual.

Understanding psychological dynamics is key. Cant the excitement of winning or pursuing it often override sensible judgment? Gambling differs from measured risks like trading here. Gambling is random and emotional; trading is strategic and analytical. Does this not emphasize the need for self-awareness and balance in gambling? Understanding one's gambling relationship is crucial, right?

All matter depends on what people think about it since if they are playing because they heard that this is where they can earn easy profit then for sure that the only thing they earn is huge stress and that is totally bad for their health also on financial matters especially if they are losing to much on this activities.

But if they know for theirselves that they are there because they want to have fun and nothing to do with their extra time then for sure that they can earn some satisfaction while gambling. Although they could potentially lose but they don't care about it since what's more important to them is they gamble and eliminate their boredom on a boring long day.

We should be able to accept this risk and not continue gambling because it will only provide an even greater risk. We have already experienced quite a big loss, so it is better not to add to even bigger losses and it is better for us to stop gambling for a while. If we are still chasing losses, it will be difficult for us to recover the losses because in gambling, we will not always be able to win after losing. We must be able to use gambling as a means of entertainment and only gamble enough so that we do not experience stress and frustration. Usually, this is what most gamblers will experience so we have to avoid it happening to us and always be able to control ourselves well.

You mentioned the health benefits of jowar but it also has its negatives because when someone always loses in gambling it is very difficult for him to accept it because financially no one can accept it easily. But when someone wins gambling, that moment is very happy for him. And whoever has a good mind is healthy in all aspects. so you cannot say that gambling is always good for health.  And most of the time gamblers get hurt from gambling. so the health benefits are very rare in this case

Not a single thought comes to my mind about how this could be beneficial for health. Probably unless you won the jackpot and experienced the happiness and joy of this event and never returned to gambling. But there are very few such lucky ones, mostly many, after a huge win, can return to gambling again to try to win the jackpot again, but this will not happen and they will give all the money back. Probably another way to get positive emotions is to play a little for fun, betting on the games of your favorite team and sincerely rejoice at it when they win. But the other side here is that this cannot continue forever and a series of losses will overtake you.

Truth be told, they will not be able to control their emotions and keep themselves calm when things go haywire. This shows that even if some benefits may be there in gambling, the bad effects weigh down the person and even brings forth deadly diseases to precipitate. Hence it is better avoided by such individuals if they are not already addicted to it.

Hence I would strongly advice any newbie from joining a gambling site just because you read somewhere that gambling can be good for you - it is not. Discipline is important here.

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.
