My neighbor has tuberculosis and from the information I gathered from a reliable source, his case is so severe. He is at the lung cavitation stage of the disease and he has been advised to avoid overcrowded environments for his health and the safety of others. But my neighbor who is a responsible gambler will always visit physical betting shops. Some physical gambling shops in my area are poorly ventilated and they could be overcrowded and stuffy. Sometimes you could see that he is struggling to remain in the casino shop and such cases he would be coughing heavily. I have told him to focus on online gambling but he told me that he is more entertained in physical bet shops.

Betting with online gambling firms will shield you from contracting communicable diseases because you are all alone in a comfortable atmosphere. My neighbor's behavior has made me focus only on crypto casinos because I am scared of my health. Don't get me wrong there are many well-built and very comfortable physical casinos that offer quality services, but when you are an online gambler you will not need to worry about the health concerns of fellow gamblers.

Ain't you going to work? Ain't you going for other things outside your home? You can not always be indoor always and you will just want to go out. Ain't you going to restaurant and other places like that? That is just how land based casinos are.

We are no more in the time of COVID-19. Why are you talking like this?

But for someone that has been advised to stay away from crowdy places, he supposed not to be going to land based casinos. But for a healthy person, it is not bad.

Some people have that phobia to bet offline where they can be communicating and discussing the games that they want to bet, they want that crowd ambience but that should not make someone who has been warned against staying in crowded place to continue risking their lives. Betting from offline and online has difference both advantage and disadvantage, the friend should sacrifice whatever benefit and joy he is deriving from offline to focus on online gambling whose advantages are also enormous and that will preserve his health too. With online betting, at least he will be on low key and no want will be able to monitor him except he discloses his activities on gambling to someone else.

Well you cannot completely avoid people, and that same disease you fear contracting from a physical casino or betting place can still be gotten from anywhere. Online casinos have become the choice of many gamblers for many reasons, but this is a new reason that I have heard.

Also if someone knows they have a deadly and highly transmittable disease air-borne or by physical contact, and they keep exposing others to themselves by visiting public places, they are wicked.

Talking about security, maybe what you said is true, where online gambling has certain advantages such as convenience and accessibility which can help people play without having to gather in a physical place. This can be useful in reducing the risk of infectious disease transmission that can occur in environments with many people, such as casinos or conventional gambling establishments. However, infectious diseases do not only exist in casinos, if you visit crowded places there is always a risk of contracting the disease.

And it's important to remember that while online gambling provides certain conveniences, it doesn't mean it's completely risk-free. Online gambling can carry risks of addiction, financial problems, and mental health impacts that may not be directly related to the transmission of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.

Safety and health are always a priority, and decisions regarding gambling or any activity must be made wisely. If you have concerns about health or safety risks or infectious diseases related to gambling, you should seek information from trusted sources or consult a health professional. And don't forget to continue to pay attention to your body's health and immunity, so that you always avoid infectious diseases, because you have a strong immune system.

Yes, physical casinos can be overcrowded places where there are sick people transmitting their diseases to other people around due to the environment being closed and not having too much flux of air. Besides that, there is usually people smoking frequently inside these casinos, what is also very harmful for someone suffering from lung diseases, as they will be constantly breathing smoke to their lungs (secondhand smoke). With these informations in mind, it's highly advisable that ill or low immunity people should gamble from home, through online casinos.

It might not be their favorite alternative, as you said, but it can still be enough to offer some relief from the pain and suffering of being ill. In terminal illness cases, it can be the final palliative pleasure the individual may have access to in order to not keep thinking bad things all the time. However, if health issues aren't present, I think gambling at physical shops can be even healthy if we think it can be an opportunity to interact with other people and improve our social skills, especially nowadays that people live so lonely and end prejudicing their mental health for this reason.

You are right OP when it comes to health matters of this nature, no one can tell what the next person standing by is carrying until you get close to them before you could notice their ailment. That is why it is advisable to avoid poorly ventilated places with large crowd because of things of this nature. In such gathering, people of different kinds of sicknesses come together with just a uniting factor which is gambling but wisdom demands that you as a gambler protect yourself and prioritise your safety.

OP I think it would have been better you look into this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472378.340 as it is a topic already created with this headings. It would have been nice you had continued your discussion as it relates to health matters and benefits there.

Your post is all about avoiding crowd, this I don't consider a big deal because gambling shop is one of the least crowded places I know. Stadium, schools, hospitals and Man other social gathering have more crowd. So I don't see why this should be a problem for a gambler.

If it were other factors such as privacy, accessibility, etc, it will make sense that online casino preferable to physical casinos. At the end, it actually come down to individual preference because I know many people who still play in shops even though they have all that is required to gamble online.

Well this is very true as you literally don't have to get any physical contact when it ha stop do with your dealing in an online casino, basically even till you get your funds withdrawn to your bank account you don't get contact with any one the comfort of your home or wherever you want to play from is all you will be needing.

Health wise this is very much advicable and even for convenience it's still the best option to explore but then like your neighbor did insisted, the thrill at the physical gambling house could be another layer of addiction unknowingly to some persons because they will crave for that thrill and at the expense of their life and other things they will not mind just to get a feel of such thrill again and this is what the house uses to keep their clients sticking around them almost always.

Well, I've heard of several news like yours and how they end up dying from the constant stress and frequent movement (which isn't needed at the time)... "One story has it that a man suffered partial stroke severely and didn't fail to visit the casino house immediately he was able to use the other hand to lift his body weight" at first, I thought your neighbor got Healed from the TB, not even knowing that he's been struggling to wager even with his condition.. your topic made it look like it was some kind of medical assistance on consistent gamblers with such an ailment tho.
All I gotta say is - YOU CAN TAKE A MAN OUT OF THE HOOD, BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HOOD OUTTA A MAN.

If it's like that, it's not gambling that causes illness. but the environment in the gambling place is bad that causes illness. when gambling offline many people smoke and if in a small room with less air ventilation, it causes respiratory diseases including tuberculosis.

It doesn't make sense. It's not about the benefit of online gambling but what you said is an obvious thing to do when someone does have a medical condition. Of course, make some adjustments. It's the same when you are ordering food or supplies and don't want to go to the market or shops.

I can't truly say that's a "health" benefit of online gambling. It's an advantage of playing online gambling but it shouldn't be generalized under the health benefits of online gambling as gambling is not healthy in the first place regardless of how responsible the person is.

If you check the original post I never said we should avoid land based casino, but I just identified a benefit of online gambling.  I also didn't say that you will contract disease if you play in a physical casino, I just talk about my neighbor and how he is exposing others to medical problems. I just took a position that due to my experience,  online casino is my preferred choice for now.

Are you sure you read the original post? How would you conclude that the post is all about avoiding crowded places? The post is all about one benefit of gambling online and not about avoiding crowded places. There is no way one can avoid overcrowded places but I will choose an alternative to avoid such places. I was just emphasizing that if you are an online gambler you don't have such concerns.

Well in one aspect of looking at it, I would say you are right but on the other I can argue against you too because your life as a human is all about socialization and you can't tell me that because of this case of your friends health then it better to play online than going to land base casino. The choice of gambling fun differs for various individuals and am certain that not everyone like online gambling especially not in a country like mine that gambling is so legal that you can actually end your bankroll in your bedroom in just a session of gambling due to fast and easy deposit option with your bank card.

The question here is not even that in a casino you can catch tuberculosis or some other disease. In principle, you can catch tuberculosis, COVID or something else in any other public place.
I would pay more attention to responsibility and safety when gambling. After all, if you play thoughtlessly and without risk management, then you can find big problems and sitting at home, even if you are physically healthy, you can become mentally ill
Apparently your friend likes the company of other people, and not sitting at home on the computer or phone

It's true, that's why they had so much success  during the covid pandemic but casinos online are not the same than land-based casinos, they've not the same atmosphere, neither the same services. One good thing is that you don't have to manage chips. Everything is done by the computers of the platforms. And not having to calculate and check that, is a very good progress offered by the technology and this new way of gambling.

Where are the health benefits there?! I don't see any health benefits stated in your topic; there is still the fact that your neighbour is still sick or still has the illness. It's just that you've found an alternative to playing gambling, which is online ambling. Yes, i it helps you to stop playing gambling, but what are the health benefits there? Still gambling, even at home? Isn't the person supposed to recover or focus on recovering and curing their illness? In your case, you consider online gambling to have health benefits just because you can gamble without going into a crowd? That's nonsense; your topic should be titled "Convenience of Online Gambling," because I don't see any health benefits related to it.

And also, do you think it's still best for an ill person to still gamble? Of course not. Instead of focusing on recovering, they will be stressed because they lost in gambling, so I think this topic is nonsense.

the OP is just looking to the side of things that he won't get a contagious disease if he will play online, which for me is understandable. if you personally know in your community that there's someone who has an infectious disease, of course you would not want to be near him. you would find alternatives on not to interact with gamblers with known communicable disease. you want to enjoy your gambling not to get any disease out of it. and that of course is a perfect reason to bet online at the comfort of your home.

on this note, the OP may be viewed this as a health benefit of online gambling. he may have his point as do remember during pandemic days, everyone didn't want to mingle with others because of the dilemma of getting the covid. but what exactly is the health benefit of online gambling? we may look into the aspect of stress-related conditions like developing hypertension, sleep deprivation, cardiovascular disease or peptic ulcer disease. now, i believe, most online gamblers are also subjected to these type of diseases if they forget on how to manage their online gambling habits. so for me, the chance of getting such disorders are the same with offline gamblers, depending on your gambling lifestyle.

I don't know what angle you are aiming for but I guess you have a point?  I mean do you go to the grocery store, if so you are more vulnerable to sickness than a brick and mortar.  I can also argue it might be better for your mental health to be out in public vs in what probably amounts to you sitting down for hours which isn't healthy for your weight, etc.  Pros and cons of each but I would say online gambling is great for access but for health benefits that's a stretch.

The thing is let's be real here, anything that you attribute as a helpful benefit to gambling, you can get or achieve doing something else. Gambling's not this end-all-be-all unique solution for your personal woes, I'd argue even that it's nothing but a mere substitute for your real and productive hobbies when they aren't available, or you're getting fatigued from doing the same routine over and over and over again. Gambling is nothing else but gambling, you shouldn't make it any bigger. Cause that's when the problems come.

Picture this, some retard from the internet's gonna see your post and would think they can gamble their problems away or use this as their personal justification to gamble and not socialize. And what's going to happen when gambling's the only thing that they care about, you're going to subject them into an addiction they'd have a hard time getting rid of, all because you wanted to make gambling bigger than what it is.

I'm not saying gambling couldn't be a good thing, but all I'm saying is that it's not the only good thing there is. Don't make it a big deal. Treat gambling as nothing but a pastime you took when your regular hobbies just doesn't hit the spot.

The point is, that OP prefers to do online gambling than going to a physical casino to avoid any contact with the other gamblers especially if you are in a condition the same as the person he is referring to. It's safer to play alone at home rather than going to crowded places to gamble, as it reduces the risk of contracting viruses or diseases. However, playing in a physical casino is still an option for those who prefer it, despite the potential risks.

Why are we forcefully trying to find health benefits in gambling, especially without any valid arguments? People are working from home and are pretty capable of doing a great number of tasks remotely. I don't understand why it's such a big deal to justify online gambling, like it's much better than going to a physical casino. I don't see any health benefits listed here. Why are you mentioning "another?" How many more are there, and which ones are they? Gambling is nothing more than an entertaining activity that can easily take a turn for the worse.

This is exactly what happened during the pandemic where gamblers who frequent the physical casinos cannot play because of the restriction imposed by the government that all citizens should be at home to avoid getting infected with COVID-19 it also benefited the online casinos because we have seen a huge shift of payers from traditional casinos to online casinos.
So if you're a long-time player of traditional casinos you can still gamble online for whatever reason you cannot go to a physical casino and its more convenient you just have to get used to it because the ambiance is very different online.

I thought what I would read here was a real health benefit of online gambling but it's not.

OP what you shared should be called PROS of online gambling. It's not a health benefit.

Staying away from crowded places is the recommendation and advise given by the Doctor. There's no connection to that in gambling in terms of giving benefits. I understand that the person is a gambler but it doesn't mean that since there's an online gambling, it's already a health benefit.

Yes, I believe that because it is so convenient and easily accessible, playing games online is beneficial for your health. Although visiting a real casino can be more enjoyable because you can interact with a wider range of people, share your wins and losses with them, and meet them face-to-face, it can also be risky for your health if you already have a medical condition, as you mentioned. Going to a real casino can expose you to secondhand smoke, an unpleasant scent, and an overcrowded environment. However, you may unwind in the comfort of your own home when you gamble online. This, in my opinion, can help people who would rather keep their gambling activities private and lessen the possibility of stress or anxiety related to social interactions in a real-world casino environment. To put it another way, I believe that going to a physical casino won't help those who already have health issues by lowering their chance of illness.

The gambler use the money into the gambling site and play their game.The gamblers also use the money in the gambling site,So he can multiple using their strategy in the game.The gambler should split the money in the casino game,So it help to manage the money in the betting with huge numbers of way.The gamblers who doesn’t have good strategy need to spend time on the game,because the strategy need to be learned by the gamblers.The gambler who get the money from the game,many of them will use to play more win in the game.The mental health of the gamblers was important one.

In my opinion, what you are telling us is not the benefit of gambling, we can catch diseases anywhere, at the office, in the mall, in restaurants, on the streets, and online gambling does not make us free from disease because we still leave the house for other activities.

Online gambling can also be stressful if we keep losing and when gambling online we are alone so sometimes we harbor anger alone when we lose. This situation may make things worse for your neighbor, it may be better for him to stick to gambling in a real casino because he gets to meet lots of people and that is part of the fun of a real casino.

The players who play in the online game is not good for health.The real casino is more enjoyable,but the owner of the casino will able to stop their income by not providing after the winning from the casino.But the online casino had no their option to send you because their reputation will be spoiled in the name of feedback in the online.Some gamblers like to play the game by face to face,but the game will have in the way of face to face is high one.Many gamblers wish to play the casino in the real but many of the real casino will scam the gamblers.This was the reason for the many online gambling sites.

Those who justify their gambling habits certainly have their own reasons, but in my opinion those who justify this are because they love the gambling activities they play so much that the bad things are not visible in the gambling activities they play.

It's true what you said, there are no health benefits in gambling and what we can get from gambling is entertainment for those who can play well and if they fail in their gambling of course they will have financial problems, so it is very important for us to be able to control ourselves when gambling and also to be able to enjoy it well lest we have financial problems.

If the discussion is about health regarding infectious diseases then it is clear that online casinos can provide protection against these infections, but now infectious diseases do not seem to occur so much and when we gamble anywhere we don't need to worry so much.
It just that in terms of disease transmission, no one knows whether it can be more protected or not, for example, when those who have the disease are our neighbors then the real problem is not in gambling but in everyday life.
It is clear that there will be unintentional social interactions that will occur and of course the opportunity for contracting this disease will also occur and it all depends on our own immune system.

For other illnesses or those related to physical health, I don't really think that online casinos and offline casinos can be more significant in terms of differences.
Because when gambler has weak immune system or immune system, the process of contracting disease can occur and this does not provide any guarantee.

I think the same way, if played in moderation you can have fun like any other entertainment and still make some money. Everyone wins, with online casinos everything is more practical and anyone can play.

Well, i hope that you do not meet with your friend physically as he has a disease and if you visit him, there are chances that you can also get affected by it.

Now, coming to the advantages of online casinos on the health, well yes, if your friend stays at home and gambles online, it will save other people's health but at the same time, we need to understand that he does not develop another issue like gambling addiction. As you said, that he is a responsible gambler who used to go to the physical casino, but when a person stays at home for a longer duration and has nothing much to do, he may gamble in excess and this may lead to not only money loss but also he can become gambling addict very quickly.

We could advise someone to move to an online casino rather than continuing to gamble at an offline casino. But it will come back to him because as long as he still feels comfortable playing at that offline casino, he will go back and gamble there.
We cannot force him to move immediately for health reasons, and in offline casinos, there is no good air circulation. He said that he was more entertained in a physical betting shop. That means he is already comfortable in that physical betting shop.
The important thing is that you can look after yourself and know where to go if you want to gamble. You have advised him to use online casinos as you do. But if he goes back to physical betting shops, that's up to him.

The best he could just do is to get used to online betting instead of offline which could disturb his health. Health is wealth and when you ignore your health over wealth that implies that you are practically killing yourself because your health status don't approve it. So you should duly inform him about the risk involved in such thing.

My wife is the same as you, she doesn't like crowded places especially when Covid-19 shook the world.
Well, I won't disagree with you on that. Whatever an individual prefers as long as it fits his comfort then do it. But what about the other things to do? Going to the grocery, buying things, and other kinds of stuff that will force you to go out. You will still need to do all of those if you have no one to do it for you.
Also, we need fresh air, we cannot just stay at home or else it will be another problem with our health. We could get fat, we lack sunlight, and we cannot just eat delivery foods because it's also unhealthy. I know a lot of people now who prefer to stay at home and just feel the safety from all the sickness scattered outside but it's safer now unlike in the last years.

I am also a guy who works from home and gamble online but I still want to go outside and do the necessary things like groceries and other stuff because it makes me feel better to breathe good air. Then, the exercise of walking too will keep the blood flowing.
Just don't get addicted to gambling because you are doing it at home, also, that's a good recommendation to your friend, I hope he thinks about that so other people won't get affected by his health problem.

Second thread I read today, second piece of crap I read. To say that this is a benefit is a bad joke that I would like Leo to be active and as a health professional he will explain it to you, OP. At most we could say that it is a way to avoid a specific health risk that this person has, but talking about the health benefit of online gambling in general because of what happens to this person in his particular case does not make sense.

I worry about your neighbor going to real-life gambling dens because he has a major case of tuberculosis and it is bad for his health. It's true that gaming online is a better and more convenient choice. It lets people do the things they love without putting their health or the health of others at risk. Putting health first is very important, especially when diseases that can spread are a possibility. If you tell your friend about online games, it might be good for his health and the safety of those around him.

Health is wealth and should always be considered a priority to maintain a good State of it and avoids speculations of it if already contracted just like this your neighbor. There is absolutely no entertainments or funs to be considered as a weigh to offer healing in this circumstances and I am very sure that if entertaining or funs should have a benefit towards a healthy challenged persons, then it must be individuals with a emotional and and psychological challenges because gambling is strictly a game of emotions either to disorganize that of a stable State of mind or fixing it up better with the tunes of funs and entertainment out of it.

So, I would advice that your neighbor to quit Gambling if he can't not cope with the online gambling because he is doing himself no good neither is he helping the society to maintain good States of healthy beings.

That person is too pushy even though he has a severe illness, because maybe he considers physical casinos more attractive than online casinos because of the different atmosphere even though the casino is bad in its place because there is no proper ventilation, I don't know what to do because he will add to the disease that continues to spread to others.

I don't care about people who are stubborn even though they have been advised by others, they may gamble responsibly but they are not in good health and tend to ignore it, so let it go as long as we ourselves must realize that if something is bad for us, we should never do the same thing.

That's probably the last thing that I would think of when it comes to health benefits of online gambling because there's close to nothing that's really going to benefit you consistently so I wouldn't put too much faith in this because it's not like it's going to be everyday you'll meet someone that's infected with a contagious disease on a physical gambling place and it's a different thing about this person as it's not the physical casino's issue here, it's the behavior of that person that still wants to gamble despite having an infectious disease, that means that they don't care about other people and that they're an addict although they don't know it yet and that they're also have a warped up priorities because they still want to gamble instead of just focusing on recovery from this deadly disease.

Your neighbor should be more concerned about his health than choosing to gamble at a physical betting shop because, after all, he has been advised to avoid crowded environments for the sake of his own health. However, he still comes to the physical betting shop because he is more entertained there. He couldn't think about what would happen to him if his health continued to decline due to forcing himself to visit those physical betting shops and also the health of the people who were in the same place. You don't need to force him too much to start using online casinos, especially if he doesn't want to because it is his own choice. You are better off focusing on your health and continuing to gamble at online casinos if that is what you want because it is better for you than having to go to crowded places.

@OP is a casino's agent, so don't be surprised with that. It's nothing different with a processed juice that claimed to be healthy but the ingredients consist of 1% real fruit, 30% artificial flavor and 69% sugar. :D

He can counter your arguments: :P
1. He don't have to going out to buy foods and things because he can order an online delivery.
2. He don't have to going out to get fresh air because he has a good ventilation and air purifier.
3. He don't have to going out to get sunlight because he can get sunbathe in rooftop.
4. He don't have to go gym because he can train his body in his home.

That statement is true, I think with the large number of people who gamble, they really like this activity because the other side is the victory that can be obtained even though it is difficult to obtain. and the main thing is that everyone definitely has their own reasons for the gambling that they always do so that it becomes an activity that they are used to doing, despite the fact that they always lose a lot of money gambling, but because they already like it, that is not an obstacle for them to gamble continuously.

In fact, in my opinion, there are no benefits from gambling, in fact their health can be damaged if they gamble excessively, because in fact gambling can make someone forget themselves so that they can forget many useful things. except that entertainment can be obtained and pleasure can also be obtained if gambling actually results in winnings. It's true what you said, to be clear, they must be able to control themselves well in the gambling they do, so that they don't experience big problems because of their gambling activities, especially financially.

Uhmm, please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see any "health benefits" in playing in an online casino just because you are severely sick and you need to be isolated from the others. Online casino will only keep you away from the crowd so your illness won't get any more severe, but that's all it, no "health benefits" really.
I know you have mentioned he's a responsible gambler, but I guess your neighbour is irresponsible when it comes to health issues, because if he isn't, he hasn't come up with such "severe" stage of tuberculosis from a poorly ventilated gambling facilities.
Gambling doesn't cure or alleviate any illnesses, so I don't think a health benefit is possible in here.

Whole-board health isn't just a checkmark. The position of your neighbor and all gamblers requires a change of viewpoint. Making healthy, satisfying choices is key. Online gaming is a protectant against the invisible dangers of crowded, cramped environments

It's not about giving up the joy of online gambling; it's about adapting to a world where your and others' health can't be gambled away. Responsibility, smarts, and entertainment go together. Crypto casinos, virtual betting rooms, and more are available online from home

You favor crypto casinos? Good. Why risk your health in a world full of danger when you can find comfort from here? The choice to gamble online is a purposeful choice to emphasize well-being without sacrificing fun. Genuinely responsible gambling

Sound like something that will work only for those that are extremely wealthy and have everything in life set for them.

You won’t expect a working class man to take up this your idea and actually think online gambling will help them meanwhile they’ll still dress up every morning and go to work – or is there also a way they’ll do their work without encountering anyone [I know a few jobs are like that].

Don’t just say “online gambling has health benefits” just because your friend benefitted from it – it’s more like saying me always on my computer screen, doing everything while seated in a single position is also helping my health [since I’ll avoid contacts with people] despite my eyes being damaged and me not moving to exercise my body.

Somehow there could be a health benefits online gambling does if people are aware of the risk and have proper self control since they can sharpen up their brain on the challenges they encounter and also a feel of exciting feeling can give them satisfaction. But unfortunately this is not quietly well happening occur to anyone since usually what we see from other people is they do destructive habits especially that they aiming to win so bad especially that they hear from someone else that they earn a lot of money from playing those particular games.

Overall here it will matter on how we handle ourselves since if we are responsible enough for sure there's still health benefits to earn there but if we are a type of a person who's abusive a hardcore risk taker maybe we can't really find any health benefits of gambling.

I absolutely agree with you, in the current situation with all those pandemics around, an online casino is the best choice. Besides, you are not lured to gamble more by nobody. No one gives you more alcoholic drinks, smiles at you seductively and stuff like that that often happens in the land-based casinos. I wouldn't recommend going even into very comfortable physical casinos, let alone those stuffy places that you described.

Well I think in general, the convenience of online has many benefits that makes it more preferred than onsite activities.

Online gambling has that kind of convenience where you can gamble anywhere at the pleasure inside your own home. The example that you provided, OP, is one practical example where a sick person can still gamble despite being familiar in a physical casino.


I agree with your statement.

Take gambling outside the equation, the neighbor should definitely exercise activities that can be applied online. This includes his work, obligations, socialization, and definitely entertainment, which is gambling in his example.

Yeah, this is one of the main perks of playing in an online casino aside from convenience. Your neighbors is a clear example of being irresponsible gambler since he knew that he has communicable disease yet he keeps coming to crowded place which put danger to other gambler that doesn’t know his disease.

TB is one of the dangerous and popular disease that is available on crowded place. Probably the casino you are describing is not following the general guidelines since casino usually have a requirements of wide open space and ventilation on business like this. I’m picturing out messy casino the way you describe how crowded it is because I visit many physical casino before and I rarely saw any crowded area because they have a lot of space in each games.

Gamblers suffering from communicable diseases, especially infectious diseases, must be kept in a completely separate environment with less crowding and excessive noise. For example OP has a gambling neighbor with tuberculosis where he must participate in gambling in complete isolation from the crowd.
In case of patients suffering from infectious diseases, there is definitely no opportunity to participate in offline gambling, in which case they have to participate in online gambling completely separately. Since online gambling does not require the active participation of the gambler, the only entertainment for the gambler is online gambling.

Correct me if I am also wrong, but do you think preventing a disease has a health benefit? This is how I see it, if online casinos can help me not to expose myself to an environment that is not unhealthy, then it is a helpful benefit. Medicine is not all about medication that is why we have a field called preventive medicine. You don't need to be cured of a disease for you to acknowledge that something has health benefits. If an action or inaction helps to prevent a disease, it has a health benefit.

As I said earlier on in the OP, some bet shops in my location have no window for ventilation and people are always crowded. This does not dispute the fact that others have a healthy atmosphere. Nevertheless, I prefer to prevent disease if I have an option than to expose myself to it because of physical gambling. That's my choice and it makes a lot of sense to me.

The world is filled with people with different kinds of diseases that are communicable, and most of the time you can't even notice or identify those who have them.
 
What a normal person who also cares about the safety of others should do is avoid those areas where they are discomforting those who are also gambling in that shop, which is not good. Even the agent or shop owner managing that centre, if such is noticed, should ban that person from coming, as many other dissatisfied customers won't want to come there again when the guy is available.
 
I barely visit a physical casino, and this kind of thing is among the reasons, and things like violence also contribute to why online casinos are the safest place to be. I hardly bet in traditional gambling shops, skin diseases are also real, and most of the time, out of some argument, you can easily come into contact with someone who has one of those.

You would do well to point out your neighbor's behavior to the authorities. Isn't he breaking the rules of society by infecting everyone else? It looks like such idiots need to be isolated on a separate island, since when they are sick, they believe that everyone else should also be sick.
I agree with you, OP; precisely because people cease to be people in some cases, isolating as many public places as possible would be a good choice.

People like your neighbor are behaving very irresponsibly by visiting gaming casinos rather than staying at home and playing them online. Of course, I sympathize with him, but I know for sure that if I were in his place, I would not go to crowded places, because I felt that I was putting other people at risk.

Perhaps he is not young and simply not good enough with a computer, or he feels very good in such an atmosphere, but this cannot be justified by these reasons. After your story, I will think more carefully about whether I should visit the casino, and probably take a protective mask and hand sanitizer with me. But most likely I’d rather play from home, I’m more comfortable that way.

The Covid 19 pandemic sure taught alot of us how to be more alive online and manage the experience because it can't for one be compared to visiting the live centres.

Am referring to gambling in this case and although I have awaited the day I would go to one of the big casinos in my area, this kind of story sure made me realize how the pandemic was and by still avoiding crowded places is still one of the best advices to stay safe from communicable or airborne disease/sickness that could be easily gotten from visiting a live centre to place bets or gamble.

Your friend in this story might just be the undoing of himself, if he continues to subject himself to the pain and uneasiness of coughing or gasping for air while going against good advise to abstain from a crowded place, and instead bet online.

When you play at an online casino, you can clearly abide by the limit you set for losing, you can remain anonymous, there are no problems in getting your winnings delivered to you and you are not affected by the casino atmosphere and do not incur unnecessary expenses paying for food, drinks and transportation costs

I am referring to people who desire to gamble but are concerned about their health due to crowds at physical casinos because they have medical conditions.
 
Of course, playing games online might have negative effects on your health, but when you try to think about it, casinos—both real and virtual—have negative effects on people's health. What I'm trying to say is that, similar to what the original poster said, he wanted advice from other members of this forum regarding the best course of action for a gambler who finds it too difficult to visit a physical casino because he believes it is too crowded and makes his tuberculosis worse. In my opinion, it would be preferable for him to play online because it is less hassle than visiting a physical casino, which might worsen his illness due to the different smells and atmosphere of the attendees.
 
In addition, online casinos frequently offer a more laid-back atmosphere that lets users enjoy leisure activities without the tension of traditional physical casinos. But in order to be safe and play properly, it is, of course, their responsibility to thoroughly check out the online casino they are playing at to avoid scams.

You should advise your neighbor to concentrate first on his health and take his medicine so he can fully recover, although he is a responsible gambler it will have an effect if he continues to gamble if he wants to gamble in a physical casino because the casino security will not let him enter their premises and he will get the blame in case he contaminated other players in case he can gets in, there is no to other way if he decides to stick with gambling in a physical casinos, even his doctor will not allow him to play in physical casino.

Both platforms have their benefits for their users, your neighbor loves ambiance and if he loves the crowd then he cannot think of playing online, when it comes to platform preference to gamble, it's always the user to decide where he wants to play depending on his character if he is introverted he will play online if extroverted then physical casinos is his preference.

To start with first, what’s the point of him going to gamble all the time when their is need for him to be thinking about his health and look for way’s necessary to get himself treated to save him self those stress, I just can’t imagine the humiliation that he might face sometimes.

Aside from all the health danger associated with, their is peace when you are gambling at your own comfort zone, you don’t lose focus you don’t need to wait for turn before you can place your bet, when ever you are done with your prediction you can just place your bet in your online bet account that’s nothing that make betting as good as that.

OP, you are on point, I have learnt this lesson today, though I have stop shop betting for a very long time reason being that I want my gambling thing to be personal, again their are some benefit attached to gambling online, when you place a bet online and it remain just a match for you to win such slip and a game is on, lets assume that the team you placed straight win is not performing well or maybe they are on 2:0 down in most cases the bet firm will popup a cash out let's assume that is in the night, how will you cashout at that point, ordinarily this is something you can do if you bet online with your phone.

I agree with you to a certain extent that gambling from home offers health benefits to visiting physical casinos. We are not at risk to catch any disease at home, we can sit down and stand up whenever we want and we can eat and drink whatever we want at home. It's much more comfortable to gamble from home, but it also has some downsides. In case you work from home too and don't spend much time outside, then your immune system will be much weaker compared to someone who is outside a lot. It's not like every bacteria and gurus will make us sick immediately, our body can handle it and our immune system will become stronger. In case you have medical conditions than I would recommend safety and it's better to gamble from home. Another issue is social interaction, when visiting physical casinos we can talk to other gamblers and have a good time outside of gambling itself. With online gambling we will likely be alone at home and only focus on gambling.

How come it became a health related benefit? He just used another way to access gambling. Something is beneficial to health if it is necessary and if it literally helps your health in general or in particular. Not because it neutralized the risk of tobacco exposure, it already helped the individual. In the first place, tobacco product intake is not necessary and nothing is helped in the first place. Just staying at home will do, and the idea that gambling is not even necessary to one's health, quite creates a separation of thought that something or this activity to be certain is beneficial to your health as gambler regardless if you are a responsible one. You'd more appear to be responsible in my perspective if you choose to avoid gambling 'coz it could be another source of stress, given the condition he's in.
Let people be. For sure they are aware of how their health could be damaged by gambling environment in landbased casinos in particular with vices. There are also casinos wherein cigarettes as prohibited which leaves the argument open for options. Casinos are long existing and things won't change within one just because you are being conscious with your health while having the desire of gambling.

We're all free to engage on whatever platform it is whether it is landbased or online, crypto-based or fiat based. We do have preferences and that simply means we may choose a platform that will suit our preferences to make ourselves comfortable playing.

I’m not sure if you can call this as health benefits since gambling at home doesn’t boost your health and just as is. You just avoid potential health risk but it doesn’t boost your health either. In fact you can get CPR(Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) and other sick that involves exposure to computer/mobile radiation.

It’s a case to case basis depending on what physical casino you are holding. Most of the casino in my neighborhood offers a VIP experience to all players such as regular disinfectant and good ambiance. Casino here is much better than my house in terms of cleanliness.  :D

Common on man. You should know that keeping a healthy lifestyle is what makes you healthy and not avoiding overcrowded bet shops. You use the metro, you use the bus, you use the mall, you go to a church,etc. These are all places where you would find more people than normal and there's a high probability you could catch a communicable disease that has no physical symptoms or that has a longer incubation period from these places. The pros of online gambling is convince. Without noise, rowdiness from external stimulation. It is more of a controlled environment.

I get why your neighbor wants to gamble rather than worry about his health.  After being told to avoid groups cause he's sick, betting online probably sounds good.  At least he won't make his illness worse by being around folks.  But playing games ain't exactly health benefit, virtual or not.  Sure, staying home means fewer germs and hacking up a lung and  and yeah online keeps him away from catching something nasty.  But online casinos just want his money.  They dont care if he gets healthy.  So I don't see the health benefits either.  His health should still come first, not trying to win a jackpot.  If he's bored and wants a distraction, I feel that.  but risking his health to play some poker? Nah. and  Aint worth it.  He can find ways to entertain himself without leaving the house or being around strangers.  Read a book.  Stream a movie.  Video chat his grandkids.  Plenty of low-key activities that are safer for him than hitting the tables at the casino or betting shop.  He's gotta get his priorities straight and take this health stuff seriously.

Well, when it comes to where an individual gambler wants to gamble, whether it's an online casino or a physical casino, it's their choice, and there's nothing we can do about it, or we're out of there. I get your point; maybe that's why he appreciates gambling more when he can touch or see what he is doing.

Maybe we should respect him if that's what he wants, because that's why he's happy, right? The online casino is for lazy people who don't want to go out or who don't have the ability to go to a land-based or physical casino.

I don't understand why some people are trying too hard to justify their gambling habits and try to find excuses for their behaviour. There are no health benefits, I believe we can all agree that it's an entertaining activity that can potentially yield us some money in return.
I understand that people are judgemental, the word itself sounds negative, which is probably why some people are trying to justify their gambling in any possible way. However, we shouldn't really care what others say about it; it's not like we're using their money. My opinion stands that we should support what we're doing, whatever that is, but for the proper reasons.

Of course, it will not be possible to completely isolate yourself (from work, places of recreation and public places) in order to avoid contact with such a sick person as OP’s neighbor. I believe OP is talking about minimizing risks (with health), because a vivid example of a neighbor with tuberculosis (Isn’t OP afraid of living with someone like that next door?) is before his eyes, and an online casino really allows you to avoid contact with a large crowd of people (among which there may be and other diseases).

Who really should switch to online casinos is his neighbor. It may even be necessary to force it.

I think every offline gambling place is always busy with visitors and you will have difficulty maintaining your health if you are close to other people who have infectious diseases. Likewise, if you go to a traditional market or mall with good ventilation, is there a guarantee that the disease will not be contagious too? Every crowded place has the potential to catch disease from other people, so if you want to gamble offline, don't be too afraid, because that includes the risk of gathering with lots of people. However, always maintain your health when gambling offline so that diseases are not easily transmitted to you, but the safest thing from your fears is playing online gambling.

Most people would not quit the bet in the middle of the game so even if someone is placing the bet when the match is happening in the odd times (at night etc), that won't matter much as the bet would have been settled by the time you wake up. By the way, since all the bets are available online, you can place the bet anywhere you are on your mobile phone. You just need to login the gambling site on your phone and then have the money to place bet on any sports you want to bet on.


I don't think people care about the harmful radiation from computers and mobiles. Think of people working in an IT office, where they stay in from of a computer all day long. The gamblers won't stay for 8 to 9 hours login on the gambling site. So i don't think this is an issue for the gambler.

I definitely find good sense in what the op have shared and as well advised, personally, I am an introvert myself and have always enjoyed my time alone than when I am in a public place, and right now, I can't even remember when last I visited a physical casino, all my gambling activities after the covid-19 pandemic have always been online, and I personally love it even more since I do not live I an area where a physical casino is close, for before one could  find a physical casino here, he or she have to travels miles and miles away, what we did have rampant around here is local betting shops ran by betting agents for different casinos.

All in all, I do not discourage people from going to physical casinos and having fun, but then, it only makes sense that any player with any form of health issues that could be transmitted to other players should please avoid going to physical casinos, atleast, until they are completely cured from such ailment.

Actually we are really that exposed on everyday with those potential health hazards as long you would really be going out and having a work on which you are really that exposed to everyone.

There's no way that you would be able to know on whose ill and have some sickness on which there's no way on detecting it out. So the main key on here is that you should really be that making
your body healthy and fit so that your immune would really be strong enough on fighting those potential sickness that would be sticking on you. This is one of the things on why
i dont like on going into those crowded places but there are things which you cant really be able to avoid because you are really that going out on everyday specially
if you do have that work, not all people do work online to avoid those exposure.

If the person is still reckless and gambles at a land-based casino, that's fine, but the doctor has suggested the best and he is reluctant to do it and instead risks his own life, even though gambling online is the same, he can still bet happily even though it's not as busy as in a land-based casino but at least it's not problematic for health. Online and offline gambling both have a bad impact because online gambling has nothing to remind us if we have overdone it and become addicted to gambling and it can also cause mental disorders so this depends on whether we use it responsibly or not use casinos itself.

If you care about your health, it's better to gamble online because we can also avoid diseases that spread in suffocating public places, because gambling feels the same, only the atmosphere is the difference. I myself also prefer to gamble online rather than going far away to an offline casino. .

Jesus this is just you being too cautious really. In your neighbor's case sure, all is fine but in you? You can play on crypto casinos if you prefer it but playing on it because you fear for your health? That's just you exaggerating really. Otherwise, you would've expected the majority of the people out there to have underlying diseases, like a LOT of them. In the first place, it depends on what type of sickness you're experiencing if you're allowed not to visit crowded places.

Naturally, it's better to stay indoors to avoid any risk in general, but it's not exactly the best in some cases. Otherwise, you wouldn't see doctors or therapists recommending people to go out from time to time. A bit of sunlight and fresh air can come a long way, especially in terms of your mentality.

I don't see any health benefits from the story you tell. Like a person who has lung disease but still smokes. If your neighbor is a responsible gambler and not a gambling addict then he should stop gambling for the sake of his health, but with his illness being quite serious but he continues to gamble then in my opinion he is a gambling addict.

Hopefully the disease is not a contagious disease because it could harm everyone in the casino

From your narration, though online gambling is good as it will make you to take your time to study the events you want to stake on carefully as you are at your own comfort but It doesn't really make much sense to me like gambling has any health benefits because talking about gambling indoors in other not to contact communicable disease from other basically, inasmuch as life is concerned you will certainly be exposed to people that have communicable diseases outside, so it is your responsibility to always go for check up in health clinics to know one state of health.
Though sometimes, gambling for fun makes one feel good but yet no health benefits that's attached to it.

In my opinion, the thing that makes them continue to gamble is because of money, where gambling can double their money but it is not certain and because they are sure of that, they continue to gamble even though they have experienced many losses. and indeed there are some gamblers who insist on justifying their gambling habits, and in my opinion this is because their minds have been dominated by gambling. they will justify their gambling habits even though they always experience losses.

Yes, that's right, I'm sure we all agree that there are no health benefits from gambling, but this is just an entertaining activity, paid games are the same as tourist attractions or cinemas which require us to pay to get tickets to be able to enjoy the sensations inside. . and with gambling there is an opportunity to get profitable rewards if you are lucky.

OP, your thread title seems very misleading. I thought that you will be writing about any actual health benefits of gambling. ;D
Staying indoors and playing online gambling will prevent you from getting infected? Is this the "health benefit" you are writing about?
If that's the case, playing video games has the same "health benefit"? What about watching online porn, instead of going outside and getting infected?  ;D
Your neighbor seems to be very irresponsible to his own health and the health of other people. Maybe that's why I always avoid offline gambling as well. Some idiot might be spreading infections left and right in the casino.

Sounds like a bit of a catch-22 situation really, because you're right that it's possible to catch more communicable diseases in these environments, but it might also have been one of the limited options this person was using for exercise. Let's say someone in this situation is heavily house bound, maybe just making outside visits for shopping and visiting these gambling shops. Exercise is important, even if only going for a walk it will stretch the legs and improve circulation. If you lower the amount of physical activity someone is doing, when they are already doing minimal amounts, it might actually have a worse health outcome on them from that perspective. You'll also find that many gambling shops have actually upped their game when it comes to cleaning, since the threat of Covid which was leading to many being wiped out unless they took such action.

I think that is an unintelligent conclusion. Of course, many indoor activities like gaming or watching videos could also minimize infection risk.  However, the phrasing of health benefits is misleading given the actual content focused only on reduced contagion exposure from staying isolated rather than any advantages intrinsically tied to gambling itself.  Online gambling has no actual health benefits to speak of.

Yes, I think it is also a good decision to do indoor activities that do not cause health impacts so that he will not experience any problems with his health. Meanwhile, he can also do outdoor activities and many things he can do. By doing outdoor activities, he can prevent exposure to contagion indoors because by being outdoors, he can train physically and mentally too. He can get other benefits by doing outdoor activities. And he can use online casinos if he still wants to gamble so he doesn't need to gamble at a physical casino. It would be better for him so he didn't meet many people.

The physical aspect of limited movement since you'll be stuck at your couch playing online is what I was thinking but you also brought up a good point on the mental health. OP's neighbor could end up talking to himself a lot as a result of being secluded.

Health is a top priority, and choosing a gambling option that suits your needs can help you stay safe and reduce your risk of contracting infectious diseases.

I am fully aware that there are concerns regarding your health and safety. And by choosing to gamble at home and do it online, I consider that to be quite a wise decision, especially considering the serious health condition that befell [your neighbor]. Additionally, choosing online gambling options can provide a safer and more comfortable environment, especially in the context of the pandemic. Moreover, if your immune system is poor, then as much as possible you should avoid crowds, because infectious diseases are not only found in casinos.

There is none that I know of, because most gamblers are gambling to make more money, they mostly are in panic mode all the time as some of them risk a lot on gambling than others, I don't think that any health benefit is available in gambling, it's a parallel line to me, debt and large sum of money is what causes some unhealthy in gambling.

If you can are someone like me who don't depend heavily on casinos to make my daily bread then you should enjoy gambling, I do spend money to have fun at times and I am fine with it, if you can spend some dollars on subscriptions like Netflix or your online gaming subs you can do the same with gambling, you only pass the boundary of a healthy gambler if you risk more than you can afford to lose.

Both online and offline gambling have their pros and cons when it comes to safety and health. While dodging sick people at physical casinos might seem like a win for online gambling, germs aren't exactly VIP guests everywhere, you know?

Online might be comfy and convenient, but it's not a risk-free zone. We're talking addiction lurking in the shadows, finances taking a nosedive, and mental health feeling the heat – all potential downsides of clicking "spin" too often. The bottom line? Safety and health come first, no matter if you're rolling dice online or offline. Do your research, listen to your gut, and seek help if needed

We don't know who has which disease, and there are many people around us who are suffering from various infectious diseases including tuberculosis, but we have to live with them. If we play offline gambling we may get infectious diseases but if we play online gambling we will not get such diseases but there is no guarantee because we need to go out and interact with others. Now if a gambler feels more comfortable in offline gambling and if he can successfully practice his gambling by going to a physical gambling shop then it will be safe for him to do physical gambling. It is true that online gambling can be played at home and in online gambling gambler can gamble with privacy but I must make sure which is safe for me. If I don't understand about online gambling and if I play online gambling without understanding then my money can be a big loss so we must pay attention to what we understand.

I have never heard about health benefits through online gambling.
Sure, playing online prevents being exposed to or prevent spread some medical issues, but health benefits?

The only thing in connection to health is that it's bad for you. Gets your heart rate up too high, too much stress which can cause health issues. And so on and so on. I don't see any positive influence on your helth in any form of gambling to be honest.

Crypto casinos are quite nice for every man because crypto currency has virually remained a hope for the common man .
But the idea of joining in physical gambling shop helps your neighbour alot because , It restricts him from thinking a lot , It keeps him out from facing some life challenges like Family problems And childrens disturbances , It also gives him the Room to face his fellow Gamblers that will update him on the new games to bet on .

Lastly , anything that makes a man happy also prolongs his Life , so If physical beting makes him happy please allow him because It makes him to stay longer than his age .

I have seen many people in my country with tuberculosis, I know that this disease causes the person who has it to be constantly tired, which is why the treatment initially forces the patient to stay in the hospital taking medication until they reach the point where the patient is no longer able to infect other people. but even when the patient is not at the level of infecting other people, he is still not at the appropriate level of having the strength to play for many hours, the most recommended thing is that the person rests a lot and does not do things that increase his strength. stresses because when a person increases stress, the person tends to breathe more and as a result the person will become tired very quickly

Playing in a physical or online casino while the person is sick with a lung or heart disease is not something intelligent that someone can do. We all saw how at a time when the Covid virus was spreading at a much greater speed, online casinos were the best way for many people who like gambling to have fun, but sick people were not recommended to play. From what I have seen of people who have tuberculosis, after 3 to 4 months of complying with the medication, they can already have a lot of strength and weight, but I would not advise them to get involved in gambling, whether online or physically.

Of course, the health benefits felt by many people from the presence of online casinos today, show that the level of risk of contracting infectious diseases is not too high, the general reason is because people do not have direct physical contact and so on.

If I read your story, of course you have suggested a good idea to your neighbor, even though he is a little stubborn about listening to you, My advice is to tell the casino house that your friend is suffering from TB, I'm sure the physical casino will exclude your neighbor from visiting him.

TB disease is a contagious disease nowadays, if the person considers the safety and health of other people, of course now he is switching to online casinos, he is safe, other people are also safe, don't think about the ego of enjoying himself in the crowd.

Well, I dont really understand the main point of the title with the connection to the story, but I guess it is going to make sense because of COVID-19, I mean having some kind of disease that can be easily transmitted are already a thing so for sure being on crowded places most of the time is where you have high chances of getting a disease or a virus. It is probably not a good thing to do for your neighbor to still play on physical casino especially since he already knows that has tuberculosis which can easily be transmitted but I guess he just doesnt care anymore at that point, with the COVID-19 for sure most of the casinos increase their security when it comes to places like this especially where most of the player are big shots, probably VIPs are separated and all of the people are tested before even they can go in on casinos.

Online gambling is already a thing at this point, it was actually really convenient and I guess there are a lot more people who preferred it more than going to a casino since most of the people that I know are just lazy and just doesnt have a lot of social battery. Your right for sure it is a safe way to avoid getting some kind of virus in crowded places like casinos.

I have same choice as you that online gambling is one of the most comfortable places to bet without having to worry about contracting various diseases even though we don't know what is happening but taking care of ourselves would be better.
online gambling has become a business that has become very widespread during the covid-19 pandemic. In the past, many gamblers chose to bet from home online and to date, many gamblers who previously always visited physical casinos now choose to gamble online. because there are a lot of risks that occur, even though online casinos also have a lot of risks, online casinos have slightly smaller risks because in physical gambling we don't know who the person next to us is, whether he is fine, whether he has an infectious disease or not.
I give any advice but it is true that gambling in physical casinos is fun and winning, but personally I prefer to gamble online to protect myself from something undesirable.

online casinos are the main choice for someone who has compromised health, but if your health starts to get worse, you should not visit gambling sites, whether online gambling or physical gambling, because it will affect your health when you are sick, forcing yourself to gamble.

Apart from contracting communicable disease in physical gambling shoo, I think the online gambling platform have some good advantages that can save you from problems. I have come across how gamblers who won bet in physical gambling shop were Rob after winning a huge amount of money how they were Rob by some bad guys who got information about the win. For me I don't really fancy to play bets in physical gambling shops because of the crowd which you can't really tell kind of people it is accommodating.

Gambling online is so easy for me without any fear about anything. In physical gambling shops sometimes fellow gamblers there want to know what you are up to with your game, I think online gambling is anonymous to me and safe, no one will know if you win a huge amount of money except if only you inform people about  it.

When understanding the situation of this case from a risk perspective, it is better to choose to gamble online only, gambling is a risky activity and mingling with people who have been diagnosed by doctors as having an infectious disease will add to other risks. So in my opinion, gambling addiction is really not good, and choosing to minimize other risks from the effects of gambling, such as contracting disease, must be prioritized. It would be better to just gamble online, even though the social interaction is reduced, because there are no more friends to discuss, but it protects yourself and the social environment.

In the midst of current technological advances, people who suffer from diseases such as TBC are actually better off staying at home. They need to pay attention to the comfort of other people too, and they can still interact with their friends by using various video calling applications. Entertaining yourself in a land-based casino is indeed more fun than gambling online, but in cases like the one you mentioned it is very risky for other people.

It's true people need to stay safe from communicable diseases from overcrowded gambling houses and avoid getting into other troubles relating to money. Gambling is the reason we go there, but most time we come home with numerous other accompanying problems. Online casinos have its many health benefits which includes, serenity, comfortability, improved critical thinking, etc. These factors help the human brain to think carefully and accordingly to focus on the game. Our money is also safe online from criminals and bad actors in the streets who tend to attack the physical gamblers. However, not all physical gamblers have same encounter depending on the arrangement of the casino. Some offline casinos are well built and organized that the player wouldn't have to leave the casino so late in the night, where he would be facing some troubles as getting robbed of his winnings.

Of course, the problem of gambling is related to health problems, especially for people who like to play physical gambling, but this is not excluded for those who are comfortable with online casinos, often gambling addicts do not really care about their physical appearance, such as rarely bathing, even in the worst cases, they forget about eating, this applies to physical and online gamblers, I noticed it from around my environment

The scenario you described could barely be said to be a health benefit of online gambling. Yes, you wouldn’t have to worry about getting some communicable disease from some other gambler when playing online from your home.
But surely, we all come in contact with a lot of people on the bus, train, elevators, malls on a daily basis. Would we avoid going out entirely for fear of getting some disease?

This is where personal responsibility comes in again. An individual, being sick with a communicable illness should play his part for the society and get well first before mingling with other people but sadly, some people are extremely selfish and don’t care about the plight of others. Not until they have a taste themselves.

It makes sense, reducing physical contact can avoid contracting infectious diseases. Both offline and online gambling have their advantages and disadvantages.

For me, apart from the health factors you mentioned earlier as well as convenience and being accessible anywhere, online gambling is able to hide my identity as a gambler in the surrounding community. This makes me more comfortable.

To add, some gamblers are staying up late night and are being deprived of sleep due to stress and frustration in gambling. Bottomline here is that, gambling either online or landbased, would be detrimental to one's health if habits and behaviors won't be controlled. It is not only vices which should be avoided when it comes on gambling, but also the unhealthy lifestyle an individual could adapt because everything is done through online and with convenience. Both platforms could have its own benefit such as socialization, a bit of exercise with some walks if applicable. Again, it will just depend on the gambler himself how he would do things that would either harm or benefit oneself.
Well, they will still do however it is a matter of direct and indirect contact with those unwanted things. Being a second hand smoker in casinos would be worse than a third hand smoker with public establishments and vehicles in some cases. Threats will be always there and are moving on our daily lives but our task is to avoid them as much as possible, which is why the mentioned point of view is valid on my end. But like with gambling, will not guarantee anything.

Online casinos provide comfort and protection, but let's face it. Gamble online or offline. Comfort? Serenity? Their swords are two-sided. Your brain can think critically, but it's simpler to lose track of time and money at home. That's true. Also, safety? Not only are you protected from actual criminals, but internet bandits exist. Have you heard about cybersecurity? You can lose your money without notice. Every coin is two-sided. Online casinos are convenient but not a cure-all. They just virtualize dangers. It's still a gamble, and the house always wins. Bear in mind

I think this factor is very minimal and does not have a relevant correlation with any disease, including TB.
In one day of course he will not spend time in a land-based gambling room, he must have other activities outside the room.
He could have contracted tuberculosis because of his bad lifestyle due to the influence of gambling. Such as smoking, eating irregularly, eating carelessly, and so on.

However, I agree with you that online gambling minimizes the environment that might be cramped and stuffy for you, full of dirty air.
However, there is a big threat that your eye health will be tested when you look at a cellphone screen or computer screen for too long.

Some gamblers miss the thrills that's involved they bet on offline betting shops and that's what triggers their mind to think that offline betting is better than online and you know we can't deny the fact that offline gambling is filled with lots of action packed fun too but some gamblers like you have stated already see this as disturbance and prefer gambling in their own quiet place with the serenity of their peace of mind.

If he has an open form of tuberculosis, then, depending on the country, he may face a fine or even criminal prosecution for such behavior. It's a shame he's so irresponsible. In general, you are right, although offline casinos are a separate interesting form of entertainment, after the Covid epic many people began to think about their safety (when interacting with other people) and became more squeamish. And when I come across such stories, the desire to visit offline casinos becomes less and less every time.

we can't blame gambling activities that make him sick, maybe it's the lifestyle he leads, besides playing online casinos both physically and physically have the same health risks in my opinion, usually a gambler doesn't pay too much attention to his health, he will keep trying focus on gambling, even people who do physical gambling activities are healthier than people who play in online casinos

This made me reflect back to someone I met in a commercial vehicle on my way back to the City yesterday he was seriously arguing about last match played by Nigeria vs other african countries. Although that wasn't my concern but he was seriously coughing in the bus while he keeps arguing, so I tried calling his attention to reduce his argument due his situation at hands and I was so pittied for him seeing him that way, now my point of interest is that if this person visited physical casino house or local betting shop and starts putting this argument how many people could contract this disease since is a communicable disease and can be easily contacted through seating together, by sharing same cup or glass cup while having drinking or maybe through sneezing and this is the worst one among them all.

We do know that when it comes to spreading out some diseases specially if it could really be spread out through air then this is something that would really be that typical for most pulmonary cases
on which it could really be that easily be passed up into other people. This is one of the reasons on why i dont really make myself that getting involved with activities on which it does really need up for me to go into those public places on which people do have that potentially having those health issues on which it could be spread out and for me that i do have 5 kids then i wont really be risking
out on getting that sick since it would really be spread out into each family members on which we know that health problems is one of he main things i dont really like to happen.

That's actually a good point, I thought that most offline casinos have the best physical apperances and ambiance. And with that, it is making people return to them.

If someone who's got a lung problem or truly sicked. There's even no need to go somewhere but just to stay at home. There's no need for someone who's on that condition to go with the crowded places where it is going to deteriorate your situation.

But let's say someone who's a smoker, stays at home and then gambles online, is that another health benefit? I guess yes, because no other people will be able to inhale those 2nd hand smoke but only his family.

Yeah social distancing is also good in terms of gambling because whenever a disease is being contracted then our families has to face the issues and they are the next people to get affected, this made me sometime doesn't go into local gambling shops because you could easily got affected by disease from the next person whom you wouldn't know what that person is facing over their lives. This can also encourage and boost online gambling since most people would be avoiding being affected or infected by diseases they could contract from another person, as a family woman who has lots of children as you said can also avoid physical or local gambling shop for the safety of your children otherwise if visited anyone's and you got affected your household could also face same challenges as well.

I think there should be people nearby who can embrace the person with the disease with various suggestions and input that makes more sense overall because after all health is far more important than anything else, this must be addressed immediately because if it is too late then maybe the disease can get worse and it is very likely to threaten his safety and the safety of others in the casino if this type of disease is contagious. Sometimes this is what I'm afraid of if I gamble in a physical casino because we will cross paths with other visitors who we basically don't know whether they have an infectious disease or not, so this is also one of the reasons why I prefer to engage in online gambling because I am also one of those people who don't really like crowded situations that can disturb the peace.

But yes all this is a choice and everyone has their own preferences and maybe one of the reasons why they prefer to go to physical casinos is because they prefer the atmosphere of the crowd because with that they can also make many new friends there.

The title of this thread is amusing. I was curious to see the health benefit of gambling, keyword being “another”, is this supposed to be a continuation to a previous thread? Anyway, the example in the OP could happen at anyplace; the bank, cafe, parks e.t.c.

Betting online is more convenient and private. I find it more appealing than physical casinos for these reasons. Older gamblers who are used to physical casinos may not share my preference, they relish the experience and interaction they get at physical casinos. 

It's important, you report him unknowingly  to the casino authority concerning his health and the risks associated because tuberculosis can spread easily where people are gathered. With him visiting physical gambling shops, especially considering his severe case of tuberculosis it pose health risk to others. It's important for him to prioritize his health and follow the advice given by medical professionals. Online gambling can indeed offer some benefits in this situation. One of the advantages is that you can enjoy the thrill of gambling from the comfort of your own home, without being exposed to crowded and poorly ventilated environments. This can help reduce the risk of contracting communicable diseases. Crypto casinos can be a great option for online gambling, as they provide a secure and private environment for betting. You can still have a lot of fun and entertainment while playing online gambling.

OfCourse they are both two sides to the coin, but one is a physical attack and the other mental attack. However, all attacks affect the body mentally and physically. But the online attack could be managed depending on the security knowledge of the gambler, and how he's able to control himself from falling victim to troubles. The game of gambling requires serenity, yes. A gambler who gambles in a place where he doesn't feel comfortable could be making the wrong predictions which is not good for his thoughts. So, while in the online casino, being focused and not having anybody to talk to about our next move, can still derail the technique of the gambler, towards a direction he wouldn't understand. I mean the presence of people still plays a vital role since the gambler would some added idea while gambling.

Going with just like simple casinos that doesn't have a lot of restrictions like smoking is allowed inside the premises, dude, you're really are trying to win some diseases there and if you already have contained one and you go there. You're just helping them to destroy your immune system and defense. Going on with this argument that there's a health benefit of playing and gambling online, there's always the pros and cons for everything and whatever works for you then you have to choose that because if that works perfectly for you while you're taking your meds and having some relaxation then just choose to relax and be at home.

Although you may find some other interesting things when you visit the physical gambling places, nothing beats what you prefer and having the peace of mind and very relaxed while you enjoy to gamble. If I'll be asked, I'd definitely choose the comfort and will just have to sacrifice the socializing with other gamblers because you can also do that when you're gambling at home. You can join online communities of gamblers just as what we have right now and it's very favorable because you can speak out the entire you while having some conversation with the others.

It's not a good point, this is just a case where OP tries to justify that online gambling is better, sure in this case it's justified but how many people that got a tuberculosis or any infectious disease are still going to casinos just so they can get their gambling fix? Maybe it is a health benefit but I don't believe that it's something that this is enough to attract a offline casino player to try online gambling, the experience is still going to outweigh the risk that someone with that kind of disease is playing there so there should be something that's more heavier benefit to online gambling compared to a physical one because this isn't enough for convincing.

This is one of the disadvantages of gambling offline. When people gather whether in a gambling house or any other place sometimes they spread diseases. The Covid19 pandemic which greeted the world in 2020 is a testimony to this truth. During this time, most gambling shops were shut down to prevent the spread of the virus and online gambling became encouraged because it was safe for gamblers to gamble online.

When we consider that people of different walks of life gather in a casino to gamble, tells us that health-wise we may not be safe because we may not easily identify someone with an airborne disease and then we become so vulnerable. Aside from the anonymity and convenience online gambling offers, it can also give us safety in this light. Sometimes, arguments in the casino can blow into a fight thereby putting life at risk.

So initially he was active in land-based casinos, because he was sick he ended up gambling at online casinos. However regarding exposure and so on, it actually doesn't have a strong influence or impact on relationships except during Covid times and it's true, as some people say, the impact is much greater. Meanwhile, in the case of individual illnesses regardless of whether they have virus etc, the relationship with gambling is not very relevant. Pain is pain and you have to recover first to be able to gamble healthily in control and without adding to stress. Usually people who are sick will not have a good response to activities, such as gambling, even though the disease looks more like an addiction. Regardless of whether you consider it a responsible gambler or not because if you are sick it is better not to gamble your mental psychology when you are sick will not be the same as when you are healthy. The mind is calmer able to control every decision healthily and clearly the physical condition is better. Just imagine spending all your sick time gambling and losing, losing and losing, then the choice is stress and the most dangerous thing is that it can trigger your mental down and then you will commit suicide.

I also prefer playing at online casinos rather than offline casinos. However, the acceptance of gamblers who are used to betting at offline casinos will not be the same when they play at online casinos. Of course, there is a comfort that they don't get, such as interaction between gamblers.
things like that happen because I have a neighbor who was a big gambler from a young age. he doesn't like online games. he didn't come to the casino but made his own card game with his friends somewhere. they are players with large funds. go somewhere, rent a hotel room or villa just to gamble with friends.

Yes, logically, offline or land-based gambling does sometimes give you that kind of worry, but maybe that only applies to land-based or offline casinos which are small and not kept clean, but this is not possible in large casinos because maybe everything is neatly arranged and cleanliness is maintained so that it makes users Play gambling comfortably and free from disease, so don't be surprised if during Covid, online casinos were more popular because everyone could gamble on the internet without having to be in an offline casino and end up causing infectious diseases.

Infectious diseases of any type can certainly be transmitted to other players in land-based or offline casinos, which is why now, since Covid a few years ago, many land-based and offline casinos have closed because perhaps many users who are used to playing online gambling are free from infectious diseases and can also maintain good health, I also play online gambling because it is more efficient without having to leave the house and leave the house, because usually I gamble more relaxed at home with my family even though I gamble in another special room.

Yes, it very true that gambling offline most times can be stressful and even sometimes dangerous too your health if the environment is not that conducive, but you need to understand that what ever that have advantage will also have disadvantage, because to me gambling online is the fastest way for your bank account to get liquidated. Just imagine when you are already in a losing position and you are trying to recover your fund while gambling online, in such scenario, you will only be stop when all your funds are gone, so it's not advisable to gambles online if you can't gambles what you can afford to lose.

If you are someone whose really that immunity is a bit tough then its not really that bad on making yourself that dealing up with those offline gambling or going into those physical places
but of course you should really be still that careful because there are diseases that no matter how sturdy your immune is, but still you would really be that prone on getting affected
and this is something that you should really be watching out because we know that once health is affected then all of your family members would really be affected as well.
And this is something that we dont really like to happen and this is why it would really be that best that we should really be still that careful.

Well if you are that rich enough to just stay at home all the time then it works with you or maybe you and your friend are doing this gambling activity off duty. So yeah, online gambling really has this benefits given the fact that you are not gonna go out not unless you are using public computers. My only question here is that how responsible we are on controlling our bet limits when we are at home where we can easily add funds with our casino accounts?

Gambling changed significantly especially the last decade where you can create and deposit to start gambling in a crypto casino, and that won’t take more than 10 minutes or even much less. Compared to real casinos, or betting shops beside not offering as much as an online casino can offer from choices of betting and several different odds. You gain time and privacy of being an anonymous gambler and none of your neighbors or friends can know you are gambling to bother you.

Unfortunately, I don’t agree with here since what you are mentioning here in this topic is not a health benefit, but an advantage compared to real casinos, health benefits for example are enhancing mood which can lead to less day stress for instance. However, your neighbor and many other gamblers can avoid getting sick or worsen their situation just by educating them about online gambling.

Anyone can get infected with any disease at a very crowd place, local casinos aren't out of the list too, but are you talking about the same tuberculosis that we all know? How can he even enjoy gambling with such disease? Your point is valid but for someone with tuberculosis it's too much to believe.

From your point it seems that this disease is no more at the earlier stage, this is where things aren't making sense, that person will struggle big time to move around, most of them are always on the bed with their back on the mattress, it's a painful disease that you ain't going to think about making money, not even like gambling.

For someone like that it's not even safe for them to gamble, because I wonder what could happen if they lose their money? Isn't that like adding more pain to their body?

Yes, online gambling's health benefits and advantages can blur. Though crypto casinos offer privacy and time efficiency, I don't think they're directly linked to health benefits. Responsible activity or pastime participation can reduce stress and improve mood.

I see a silver lining. Online gambling's privacy and ease can improve health. For example, less social stigma might reduce anxiety, making it more enjoyable. A balance is needed so fun gambling doesnt become a problem.

I also believe education is vital. Online gamblers can reduce risks by learning about them and how to play properly. It promotes informed, pleasant gambling so people may have fun without harming their health.

But I think the benefits of online gambling will not only be felt by those who are rich or who have good finances in their lives, because this benefit is comprehensive, meaning that whoever it is if you have money to bet then you can get involved in this type of online gambling which is easier because it has the advantage of not requiring you to leave the house like when you gamble in a physical casino, meaning you can gamble anywhere and anytime.

Another benefit is that people who don't really like crowds then they can choose this type of online gambling and bet at home, because when we gamble in a physical casino then obviously you will be in a crowded atmosphere that may be full of visitors who may be one of them has an infectious disease which of course this can endanger ourselves to eventually contract it as intended by the OP. As for whether or not they will be liable, I don't think this has anything to do with the difference between physical or online casinos, because you can still overdo it by putting a budget amount that you can't afford to bet even though you are basically betting in a physical casino with the idea of borrowing money from the services provided in the physical casino, or if not, maybe you can be desperate to go home first to get more money and come back to the physical casino to increase the budget amount.

Mostly in local casinos here in my country (not the expensive casino), you can see gamblers smoking or drinking as well. So you can also put risks with your health being surrounded with them, especially being around smokers. Personally, I hate the smell of it so it's also one thing why I don't spend time on physical casinos.

Also the fact that online gambling boom during pandemic is because you can still keep yourself entertain without the need of going outside and having physical interaction with other people. Definitely one of the benefit of online gambling if you're conscious about your surroundings

Your friend is an irresponsible person he knows that he has a contagious disease and he can pass the disease to other people that will be causing problems with other people's health, he should do the right thing and that is to wait for him to fully recover before he go to physical casinos

As a gambler, it's better to learn how to play on both platforms so that when you have issues or there are circumstances that you cannot use the other platform you have an option to use the other because you know how to use both platforms.
We should be responsible enough to think of other people's welfare, not just yours.

You have just given a new dimension to my point of argument. Secondhand smoke is also risky to health. This means one can avoid these poisonous smokes if they choose to gamble online. Some gamblers have respiratory issues and exposing themselves to these conditions might worsen the health issues.

I am surprised about the comments I am receiving from this thread. Some people say that a sick person who has been medically advised to restrict how he exposes himself should be allowed to gamble in a crowded casino to avoid maybe boredom or loneliness. I think the most important thing should be the safety of other gamblers. He has other options to entertain himself, so why risk other people's health?

i quite agree that physical casinos are filled with people from various backgrounds and we don't know what diseases they suffer from, especially for people with lung disease, they need a less crowded place and more oxygen so that their disease doesn't get worse and they can get the best treatment if their disease recurs.

but it might be a little unpleasant for gamblers who usually gamble in physical casinos, because the vibe of online gambling is very lacking since they play alone in their room and they can't feel the real casino atmosphere, but if they are thinking about recovery then online casinos is their best place to gamble.

Basically choosing online gambling, especially with crypto casinos, lets you enjoy your games without dealing with crowded places. This helps you steer clear of health risks especially considering your neighbor's situation with tuberculosis. It's like having your own private space to gamble, reducing the chance of catching anything from others in a crowded betting shop. So your preference for online options shows you're having fun while keeping things safe

It went from tuberculosis to obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, depression, etc because when you gamble in offline casino, it will make your whole body active instead of only sitting on a couch for whole day.

Online casino, offline casino or gambling didn't give any benefit to health, it just an additional activity that entertains you.

Online gamblers may play by themselves in their rooms, it's true, but I believe there are a variety of factors that combine to make for an interesting and immersive experience with a distinct ambiance. In my opinion, players can have an immersive gaming experience that closely mimics the atmosphere of a physical casino thanks to the significant advancements made by online gambling platforms in recreating the excitement and ambiance of a real casino through the use of realistic sound effects, high-quality graphics, and interactive features. This, of course, includes features that improve the social element of gambling by enabling us as players to engage with the dealer and other players worldwide, such as games with live dealers, chat tools, and virtual reality possibilities. Does this not show how sophisticated and high-tech our world is today?
 
Also, online casinos offer accessibility and ease that, in my opinion, traditional casinos just can't match. Using different gadgets like PCs or smartphones, we may access our favorite games whenever and wherever we want. With no time limits or outside interruptions, this flexibility, I believe lets the gamblers establish their own cozy spaces where they can concentrate more on their gaming fun and tactics.

Well, gambling does help the brain in some positive way, but to write down all the details here without exaggeration, I would possibly have to do a little more research on this, so as not to post any mis or under-information.

But then, coming back to sitting in a couch all day gambling, I know it's just as right for us to something add some humor in our comments, but lets not be too ridiculous, who exactly will sit in a couch and do nothing else but gambling all day,? I think none, except for a person who is already very sick, and someone who is sick and in pain wouldnt even remember that gambling exist, not to talk of doing it, and even doctors do advice such a person to sometime try to stand up and walk around, to a least exercise the body a little, as it helps in the healing process.

Well, online gambling is still fun although we can really see the big difference when you try gambling in physical casinos. The vibe is different and with loads of people in the venue, it somehow makes you feel that you are not alone. I've played poker in a big poker room before and the fun part is when you talk with friends and new friends that will come to the area.
Then there are the happy times after gambling. 2 bottles of beer and more stories to be shared. Online gambling cannot replace that but due to the fact that a pandemic happened, online gambling has become the norm as it's safer at home without any sickness being passed to us and to our families inside the house and then you are comfortable just sitting next to your computer. Others may say it is boring but when you start learning all the games and sports, it becomes more entertaining. I don't know about other sports before, now I have more ideas about them and I didn't really expect there's more to that. The odds, the spreads, the parlays, and more. Those things I didn't experience when I became legal to gamble because there's a lack of sports bookies in my area. Now, it has become easier thanks to reputable online casinos and sports bookies that are offering great service to the community.

If any non-smoker visits a casino that allows gamblers to smoke, it will gradually affect his health. Indirectly, if a person does not smoke, his health will be affected so that he may experience a cough, and if not treated immediately, he may experience respiratory problems. Passive smoking is indeed risky, and perhaps those who will experience the greatest impact compared to people who smoke. So if there are gamblers who are already experiencing health problems, they should not visit physical casinos and prefer to gamble online. Moreover, nowadays, many online casinos have been released that can provide enjoyment for them so that they don't need to visit physical casinos anymore for the sake of their health.

While seemingly sterile, online platforms offer a wealth of betting practice chances. A gambling university is available with its wide range of games and sports. Your mastery of odds, spreads, and parlays is a masterclass in probability and decision-making, not just games. You become a calculating risk-taker from a casual player
Your message goes deeper - the yearning for connection. Online gambling can't match this, despite its benefits. But it crosses gaps when physical proximity is risky. Though digital, it maintains community spirit. We must promote responsible gambling, but we must also promote its educational and entertaining benefits, creating well-rounded gamblers

Both online gambling and offline gambling activities have their advantages and disadvantages. Some persons prefer offline gambling far more than online gambling based on their personal preferences. Like I have come across a couple of gamblers who prefer offline gambling just because they are scared of scam casinos out there on the web.

Anyways, alot of people prefer online gambling because of some important factors like convenience. Online gambling to some persons appear as a less stressful option which logically seems to be true because if you think about it you will notice that you can easily have fun gambling online no matter your location just as long as you have an internet connection.

Yes, betting online is definitely a very good option to avoid being in some bad casino or betting office environments but it is a very wrong thing to think that you can only catch diseases from physical casinos or betting offices. For example, in the middle of the pandemic when more and more people were getting infected with the virus, everyone was recklessly shopping in markets but not going to restaurants, cafes, casinos or similar entertainment venues. So, what happened? Many people, who thought they were especially careful caught the disease even though they just went to the market and their test results were positive. In other words, just going to a physical casino doesn't prevent a person from contracting a disease or virus. Moreover, it is possible to minimize this possibility by choosing quality physical casinos or betting offices.

In summary, just because a person doesn't go to businesses such as physical casinos or betting offices due to his/her health condition, doesn't mean that that person will never catch a disease or catch a virus. Under-the-stairs physical casinos and betting offices may be a factor that increases these possibilities but in the same way, under-the-stairs businesses in any different sector will also increase these odds.

The gambling site based on the online will have the audience around the world,So the revenue generated from the online gambling will be more compared to the offline gambling which is happening only in the local religion.If the gamblers is close to the owner of the offline gambling may choose the offline gambling,because some owner will try to help their friends and family members in the result of the gambling site.But the gamblers doesn’t have any internal connection with the owner better to choose the online gambling which give more probability of winning money because of the more participants compared to the offline gambling.

Physical or online casinos for me are basically the same, it's just a matter of individual choices, some people are more comfortable walking themselves to physical casinos rather sitting in their comfort zone. Some people do not have bank accounts ( especially old folks) could be that some people don't have Smartphones or computers to access online casinos, so they're left with no other option, other than to stick to going to online casinos, regardless the dangers associated.

Some people could also have other tangible and good reasons to why they chose to stick to physical casinos rather than enjoying the luxury of sitting in their comfort zone and even get a more sophisticated service. I have a friend who told me that he stopped using online casinos was because he finds it hard to control or regulate his gambling habit. Since he has everything on his phone, he could easily make transfers into his account and that makes him spend so much on gambling even when he knows he's loosing. And i actually do see reasons to agree with him.

Physical gambling activities certainly have a big risk of disease, especially if we interact with people we don't know, but we can't completely blame gambling activities depending on where we live, the main health effects often suffered by physical gamblers are minor illnesses such as stomach ailments due to irregular eating

Your neighbor's health is of paramount importance. Recommend that he seek medical attention immediately if he has not already done so. Suggest that he consult a doctor about safe public places, including gambling establishments, to minimize the risk to himself and others. Not all gambling establishments are the same: Do your research and choose safe places with good air circulation, good hygiene and control over the number of people. Explain to him that there is an alternative: Explore licensed and regulated online gambling platforms that prioritize safety and responsible gambling. Also Consider organizing home online poker tournaments. This can provide a safe and supervised alternative to public gambling venues, while maintaining an element of entertainment and social interaction

According to the OP, his neighbor has been advised by a doctor to avoid crowded places due to a health condition. However, the neighbor seems to prioritize playing in a physical casino over his health. The OP suggests that the neighbor should consider using online casinos to continue gambling while avoiding crowded places and socializing with others.

I can't accept that gambling has health benefits but its overall harmfulness and imbalance in society. A gambler can never be socially perfect as there is a possibility for him to create turmoil in a family and commit various social crimes and misdeeds. A family never expects anything good from a gambler but always he starts causing financial disaster to the family as well as relationships.

Well, you have some point but you are wrong. Because if you are right, can we imagine what will happen to these millions of gamblers around the world? Gambling is not as bad as you think, only when you are heavily addicted to it. I was a gambler, I don't have any health issues or misunderstandings with my friends, relatives, and family - our relationships are good.

So my friend, don't generalize gamblers. Some have suffered negative results but some also are enjoying life as a gambler. Because as long as you are doing this for fun, there is no problem but if you consider this as an earning tool, that is a different story.

I feel like OP has a point here - online businesses help people avoid busy crowds and that actually increases life quality. Online casino is merely example here, that guy avoids busy atmosphere - traffic jams / people breathing at same badly ventilated casinos and such. Online casinos have very nice welcoming warmness. Many people realized life is very easier when you avoid human interaction in daily life after 2020 pandemic era. Pretty sure online gambling popularity increased a lot.

To be honest, I don’t understand why physical casinos are needed at all. It's high time to move everything online. Perhaps some extroverts need such forms to socialize, but, as for me, the online form of betting institutions is the most comfortable. And a person suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, especially at the stage of formation of cavities in the lungs, will actually be more comfortable having fun at home. As do most other people.
     It may only make sense for some betting companies whose offices are located next to sports bars to have a physical premises. This can still be understood. But in general, physical fitness has long been inferior to online casinos in the same way as for a long time, for example, trading has become a predominantly online activity.

Yes, I agree with you Op that online gambling can prevent us from contracting common illnesses when we interact with other people. However, gambling at home is the same as gambling at an offline casino. We can still play and bet on the games we want to play. and still be able to enjoy it.
But yes, the atmosphere of gambling in online and offline casinos is different. Online casino are more boring than offline casinos because online casinos are played at home where there are no friends to accompany them, while offline casinos have lots of friends where the excitement can be clearly seen.

I agree, by ignoring the guidelines, a neighbor puts not only his health at risk, but also the health of those around him. However, online casinos are not always safe and there is also a social aspect that cannot be ignored. I forgot to mention in my first comment about mask mode: if OP's neighbor will wear a mask it will greatly reduce the risk of infecting other players.

I doubt if you read the original post because you would have seen that post is not saying that gambling is good for your health. Or that gambling is a medicine for any disease all I have said is that online gambling has some benefits. The only benefit the author gave was that it could help to avoid contracting some infectious diseases because of contact with more people. If you are gambling online, you do not have to bother about the health condition of anybody because you are just alone. 

Who told you that there are no responsible gamblers who are well respected in the family and community? You cannot conclude that every gambler is a reckless spender, this is a wrong perception. Many gamblers are successful in business and family. 

I think that's why there are advantages and disadvantages both in online gambling and in land-based or offline gambling. In fact, minor health problems can still be overcome if we can maintain cleanliness when gambling, but the reason is that it is difficult to do that because people are too busy gambling. offline or land based gambling on average they don't think about exposure to cigarette smoke and so on, that's why there is a risk of contracting disease or other things, but if we talk about this if it really is a problem maybe people will leave offline gambling especially since they have been around for a long time before online gambling exists.

Since the Covid era where everyone had to be quarantined at home, that's when online gambling became more widespread and many people speculated about health problems even though previously no one had discussed that because people thought that anyone who gambled in offline or land-based gambling as usual didn't think too much about the problem. about any health, it's just that since the existence of online gambling there has been more and more competition and this thread only looks at it from another point of view, not completely, but I admit that it is more fun in online gambling nowadays than offline gambling.

We must be able to realize that we are not in prime condition. But we can still gamble at online casinos where we don't need to leave the house to gamble. We only need to use a device such as a computer or smartphone to play gambling.

Unfortunately, this does not affect people who still want to get real gambling experience. They want to hear the voices of many people who will express their feelings. The atmosphere of online and offline casinos is different, making many people still visit offline casinos. They still want to enjoy the busy atmosphere even though their health condition is not good.

If they are not aware that they are sick, they will not want to use online casinos. They will return to using offline casinos to gamble. They feel that offline casinos can provide more entertainment. Maybe they will still be like that until their condition is really serious and then they won't go anywhere.

There are some humans that are not bothered or concerned about others order than themselves with what interest or amuses them. A warning advise has being given not to attend to a crowded place not just for his own but for the sake of other people but he chooses the so-called fun and entertainment he claims to derive over the health of other people when there is an alternative for him to gamble online.

It is for concerns as this that I am very careful with the type of places I go for my on land gambling. I make sure to observe the quality and character of people that do make use of that very bet shop/house and the ventilation rate. While we gamble we should make sure to priotize our wellbeing based on where we go to carry out our gambling activity.

A word of advise, as a gambler and you know you are not feeling well, for the sake of you and others be humane enough to stay home and get sufficient medication for yourself, for when you're well gambling can still go on. Health is wealth.

It's completely wrong if you think physical casinos aren't need at all.

People gamble on online casinos are mostly to make money, while some of them gamble because they're anti social or very introvert person.

In physical casinos, you're not only gambling, but you can make a friend and it will increase your network, as we know your network is your networth. You're not entirely want to gamble, but you know rich people are mostly in casinos, night clubs or rich sports.

Yes online gambling will be very healthy for this person. As he is a tuberculosis patient he needs to be in a clean environment all the time as you say physical gambling is not a very good environment all the time dust is good dirt then online gambling will be effective for this person. But at first he will feel bad because this person always gambles in big crowd and is always happy but online gambling has to be played alone due to which he will be very restless at first and will not like it. But after trying it for a day or two, he will definitely like it. If you give him such advice I would say not bad advice but definitely good advice for him. But it would be better if you advise him to quit gambling.

Physical gambling has many health disadvantages as there will be alot of individual present in the gambling rooms and they'll have different diseases. Some can be transmitted to others from touch or when they cough. Regardless of how they sanitize the rooms, diseases can still be contacted by gamblers. Airborne diseases will be the easiest ones to be transferred from a sick individuals to healthy individuals. There are other types of diseases that can also be gotten from physical touch.

Online casinos are better for health concerns as you don't have to get in contact with any random individual that's there to gamble. You'll be in your home and gamble for many hours without being afraid of contacting any diseases unless your family or close friends comes around and they're infected. But it won't count as they would have still come around regardless of if you're gambling or not.

Everything that you described can happen in any public place, in a store, on public transport, in a cinema, anywhere, but this does not mean that we should not leave the house so as not to expose ourselves to some dangers. If you are so worried about your health, then take care of a healthy lifestyle so that your immunity was strong, and can cope with what you are so afraid of. Some people prefer to play in a casino, others prefer to play at home online, it’s just a matter of choice.

Using an online casino, at least he can stay home to gamble and doesn't have to go anywhere. This is also an advantage for him because he is a tuberculosis patient who must always be in a clean environment. He can gamble at home even though it may not make him comfortable the first time, but he will feel a different pleasure from gambling in a physical casino. He just needs to try it to see and feel the difference, and he can also use a crypto casino if he wants something different. After playing gambling for a while, he will see that playing online gambling can be a solution to being able to continue gambling where he can still be in his room or even in his backyard while enjoying snacks.

Exactly, when you are too scared and too worried about your health then obviously it means that we are not only forbidden to go to physical casinos but this also concerns some other places that we might always go to, and what if the situation is that we are shopkeepers who will basically have a lot of people coming to our shop to buy something they need? Of course this cannot always be avoided and that does not mean we should ignore prevention because it is always a good thing if it leads to a good thing, but on the other hand there are still other ways that can help us avoid some infectious diseases, and one of them may be as you suggest by maintaining a healthy lifestyle to increase immunity so as not to easily contract various diseases that are worried about. So with this I think it is not a good reason if you refuse to go to a physical casino with the idea of "fear of contracting diseases" because the things you are worried about are very likely to happen in various other places you visit, and the point is of course in the end physical or online casinos are a choice.

Thank God Covid19 is behind us now, for those saying that some people don't even know how to operate a smartphone or get online, like older people, how did they survive the lock down period? They must have been able to beat gambling addiction then if they sit at home and can't gamble for several months.

I haven't witness someone contacting a viral disease in a casino before but it's possible, Covid was one of the most effective virus that easily get spread in a crowded location, it would have been a disaster if people in a casino came in contact with someone who has the virus.

I know that offline casinos have it's advantages too but the disadvantages are high in number compare to a online casino, and the biggest threat is people in the casino with knowing you just hit a jackpot or a fight break out in the casino, the privacy of online gambling is unmatched.

This isn't a health benefit of online gambling, the guy in question has health problems and its understandable that its his doctor's advise not to engage in crowded places. Physical casinos have an advantage of interaction while gambling. For  some people that I've been opportune to meet in the physical casino, the discussions and communism experience keeps them happy as compared to when they're alone.

Some people are really lonely and they only get that companionship when they come out in the open and interact with people. Your friend has a very contagious and terminal illness and he should consider the life of others which he puts at  stake daily while visiting physical casinos and try online casinos for his gambling satisfaction.

I hear your worries about your neighbor. Totally get why gambling online might seem like a good idea to avoid germs and stay entertained while sick. But let's be real, hitting the virtual slots isn't exactly a health spa day. Sure, it keeps him away from catching something nasty, but those online casinos are more interested in his wallet than his well-being.

Look, health gotta be number one, right? Risking his health for a shot at some jackpot just ain't worth it. He's bored and wants a distraction, I feel that. But there are tons of ways to entertain himself without leaving the house or risking his health.

The key is to get his priorities straight and take this health stuff seriously. It's not about judging him, but helping him find ways to feel good without gambling. You could even suggest some fun alternatives that match his interests. Maybe cooking a virtual meal together, watching a show you both like, or even starting a virtual book club.

If it has become a habit and the place is his favorite place to gamble, it is natural for him to insist on continuing to gamble there, even though he is sick. Because gambling online and gambling in the real world (offline) do have differences in terms of enjoyment. Because if you gamble offline, of course in that place you will meet your friends, laugh together and eat and drink together. So there is definitely a very strong sense of togetherness when gambling offline.
But if are in a sick position like your friend, then it is not recommended to gamble in a crowd. Moreover, your friend has a disease that can be contagious, this will certainly endanger himself and other people if your friend is stubborn about gambling offline (in crowded places).

So the right solution for your friend is, in essence, just have to gamble online. Because instead of endangering yourself and others, it is better to stay at home until your friend illness is completely cured. Because playing gambling online is no less exciting. In fact, currently there are many interesting game choices on online gambling sites that can play, so the point is that won't get bored quickly. Maybe the downside is just not having anyone to chat with, but I'm sure this can be overcome if find a game on a gambling site that is really exciting. Therefore, try offering your friends a very interesting gambling site. Who knows, your friend has never tried online gambling, so he thinks that online gambling is very boring, even though in reality it isn't. Because it would be very worrying if your friend gambled in a crowded place, even though his body was sick.

Television, mobile phones, social media sites, video games are laughing next door, Lol  ;D. I think this is just an excuse because that person is addicted to gambling. If he really needs to be at home he could just do other things like those above. Why always gambling has to be the only source of entertainment? And about health benefits, I think it has none except it helps one to relieve them of their stress, relax a bit, entertain a little.

For me, his post and title is fine even though he is not the ones that has a health problem. Maybe you are just expecting too much that it was the OP? that is why :D. Also you are expecting for a different health benefits of gambling. But, what he wrote is understandable and it was another example of it.

What you wrote there is also correct. And that is what he was trying to say there. The point is to stay indoors. Not only that we will be safe, but others too if we have a deadly and highly infectious disease like his neighbour. It's also important for an establishment to check the condition of their customers first, if they can enter or not. It can look inappropriate to some but it's actually a good practice.

If you are addicted to gambling, of course, if you participate in offline land-based gambling, then in all these places, alcohol, opium, cigarettes, etc. are consumed, then the environment is not healthy at all. But to participate in online gambling, there is no opportunity for everyone to be together in one place, so there is no chance of contaminating the environment in online gambling. For those who are infected with the contaminant disease, they must refrain from participating in offline gambling, otherwise this contaminant will spread to other people.

I don't think I will visit a casino just to have a one on one contact with people. I'm an introverted by nature and I hardly engage with people, so I don't think this is really an issue but in general, it's a big problem but when someone is having a communicable diseases, it's always obvious that the signs are always visible for everyone to see. That Tuberculosis has a cough symptoms and I believe if the people over there care about there health, they will caution the person.

Corona virus has thought me a lesson not to visit crowdy environment, even banks I don't go such places. In this century, your phone is enough to do any type of gambling you want to and play, this is not like in the 80s where you have to walk down some mile to gamble or visit a hub of gambling.

but it is quite difficult to be able to imitate the vibe of a physical casino, the smell, the noise of people playing, the jokes with the dealer, and various other things. Things like this cannot be imitated by online gambling no matter how sophisticated the gambling platform is. and for this reason it is still difficult for people to move on from physical casinos, even though they are given easy access to online gambling platforms.

I find this funny but at the same time, you nailed some points. Some diseases are transferable from one person to another but don't you think that's a less problem to gambling considering that people don't waste much time in gambling platforms. Like the physical gambling places that we have here, people do sports mostly and Africa at large and because some don't have access to phone or because they can't use phone, they go there book there games and come home, they only go back there to check and cashout when they win.

The only place I think this will be spread mostly is in casino and that I know isn't common here in my place. Aside from the things you mentioned, online gambling provides you with high level of privacy. You can win millions within a night and if you don't tell anyone that you have become a millionaire, they wouldn't know nothing but if it was physical, they will announce you to the public with a big check and probably use your winning for some marketing and advertisements which is bad.

Of course, because online casinos also have their own advantages that distinguish them from physical casinos and the things you mentioned are something that is a significant difference between physical and online casinos, the point is that because the times are getting more modern and more sophisticated, some industries create something that is in accordance with what people need to make as an option for a balance, And the purpose of the establishment of online casinos is none other than this to reach more gamblers, especially those who don't really like physical casinos, such as those who are introverts or who don't like crowds, they can join and get involved in online casinos with the advantage of being able to engage in gambling whenever and wherever they want. So the bottom line is all of this is a choice, if indeed people want to feel the sensation of a lively atmosphere with crowds then obviously they can go to online casinos and as I said above if indeed they do not like the crowded atmosphere then obviously online casinos are the choice.

Science and medical personnel say that playing video games increases your thinking abilities and your overall reflexes, and since gambling also has games that require critical thinking, I believe it can be a benefit for a gambler if they play gambling games unless they take it too seriously and cause health issues for themselves. I'm also not sure if we can consider this a health benefit or not but it is at least some benefit that we get from playing games.

That being said, I do agree with what some other users said that gambling generally causes more problems than solving existing ones or providing extra benefits, especially if someone already has health issues such as a weak heart, painful eyes, and any other condition that might get severe at certain points when gambling.

Crypto-based or fiat based isn't that important. Bitcoin is money, and the difference between BTC and USD is like between USD and British Pound. I mean, both are money and you can exchange them with one another. But if we to compare online casino to a land-based one, the difference is obvious. And health benefits of online gambling are not the only benefits online gambling has.

Online and offline gambling does have added value and negative value so it's not surprising, even though I'm not too familiar with offline casinos, it's true that for privacy, online gambling is much safer than offline gambling which allows for less privacy and security, especially Health problems may also have more of an impact in land-based or offline gambling because everyone interacting in it both has poor health and infectious diseases without us knowing.

I think it's not only in gambling, it's also the same in public places, it depends on us also keeping ourselves clean, but because people who gamble sometimes ignore their health, whatever is on their mind is gambling and enjoying it, so they don't have any thoughts about it. maintaining cleanliness in land-based casinos or just cleaning myself at home after coming home from land-based or offline gambling, to be honest, even when I gather with my friends who smoke when I come home I quickly change my clothes and take a shower, because I have my small child at home I often hug me so I don't want him to be exposed to the cigarette smoke that sticks to my clothes. It is important to maintain health when gambling, that's why I say online gambling is much more fun now.

People diagnosed with open TB are not recommended to go to public places, so if you are not indifferent to this situation, inform the competent authorities. Apparently, this person does not care about the health of others as he visits the betting shop personally.

My acquaintance told a story about his neighbor. He was also diagnosed with this disease. If you want to keep your health in any case do not contact with him and often use disinfectants if you are in the premises he visits. Or better yet, avoid such places altogether.

OP, what you've narrated is so thoughtful of you, and in fact, you might not even think about this as one of the advantages of online casinos if it is not happening around you. What about the worse ones like Hepatitis and others that are contagious, people will just be contracting diseases without knowing the actual source. Besides, I've always appreciated technology, despite having numerous downsides as well, it's still a very good development that is helping businesses to move forward and also helps in cutting costs and human necessities. Although this is a two-way thing, yet, in all, it is a very positive development.

Online casinos can be observed without the interference of anyone. Talking about diseases, if caution is not exercised, you can be the one to contract the disease or being given to you as the case may be, that's why it might be good to avoid physical contact if the place is really crowded, and when the likes of people associating there are not such that you really trust their health even though no one is to be trusted these days. Still, an offline casino is not that bad, it only depends on the one we are patronising. I know the standard ones that are orderly, and just like banks and other social places, they will maintain order and behave themselves. But in the absence of that and with the opportunity of online casinos, I bet it is best to opt for online casinos if you are in doubt or scepticism.

i also think that it is not the health benefits of online gambling, but rather the advantages of online gambling compared to physical gambling. because by gambling online it will isolate someone in the room or place they want, so it will keep them away from the crowds of people that usually occur with physical gambling. online gambling also has the advantage that a person can be calmer when playing and it keeps them away from dirty air which can harm their health.

Online and offline casinos have their respective advantages and disadvantages, and we can just experience them, so we are the ones who have to choose. If you prefer to gamble online, we have to know the disadvantages so that we can overcome them and not be affected by them. And while we love physical casinos, we also need to know their negative impacts to avoid them. When someone already knows the advantages and disadvantages of offline and online casinos, then we can choose. But we still have to realize that both offline and online casinos have the same chance that we can become addicted to gambling, and that will be more risky.

I would have loved to report him to the relevant authorities but my hands tied. He would see it as a betrayal of trust and he would not be happy with me. And from all indications, he is really enjoying himself in the land-based casino. I feel that he might become depressed since going to a physical casino is what gives him joy. Another problem is that these health officials in my location might take advantage of him and exploit him financially. He might be forced to pay a fine and I know that they are not financially stable because of his health issues.

Maybe reporting to the casino owner might be the best since they also see how he coughs and acts sickly. They could ask him about his health history and advise him to stop coming. But I trust that my neighbour will move to another physical casino. But I am still encouraging him to consider switching to online gambling but he has not heeded my advice.

If you're talking about been overcrowded i understand your point here, but let also divide the overcrowding into two categories and define each of them, you can go to a remote area gambling casino house and feels irritated because of how the whole place is dirty and stinkingly smelling while all manner of low class gamblers are making their entry and exit in the casino, you could also choose to go to a developed city and pay money to enter into a modern facility casino building fully airconditioned and even reserved for yourself a VIP segment, because you have the money and want to enjoy gambling where others are, but using the online platforms has to do with much of being private.

Gamblers need to emphasize the importance of awareness and informed decision-making when it comes to gambling. Convenience is a significant advantage of online casinos, because they can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, at any time. One of the main drawbacks of online gambling is the lack of social interaction and the tangible casino atmosphere. There are concerns about the security of online transactions and the integrity of online games. Gamblers need to be aware of these potential risks and take necessary precautions to mitigate them.

Offline casinos offer a unique social experience, with the excitement of being in a lively environment surrounded by other players. Some players prefer the authenticity of physical casino games. One of the biggest drawbacks of offline casinos is their limited accessibility, because they may not be available in all locations. There's also the temptation to spend more money on additional expenses like food, drinks, and accommodations. The potential for impulsive behavior and social pressure to continue gambling can be higher in offline settings.

Both forms of gambling offer the same potential for addiction. Awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of each platform empowers individuals to make informed decisions that align with their preferences and mitigate potential negative impacts.

The offline gambling was totally different because the gambling was made by the local gamblers,we can’t say they are not hygienic but they play the gambling with the drinking and the drugs consuming.The gamblers also fight for the money loss after the other person won the game,the fight was the common one in the offline gambling.Whether the gamblers will fight for the winning or losing with each other.Or they will fight against the gambling owner for the fair game.Even the fare game was made,the gamblers who loss the funds will not accept the money losses.Because they are mostly from the daily wagers.

There's always a different into those places on which rich people could only get in and to those places which it would really be that common or on which everyone could be able to enter.
When it comes to hygiene and other correlated aspects then it would really be just that theres no way on detecting on whose ill or does have that sickness and to those who are physically fit.
No security personel on a certain venue would really be able to detect those. So once you do hover yourself on a public place then expect that you should really be that be able to
encounter those kind of probabilities and if you are someone who does have that weaker immune then expect that you would really get sick easily.
So its a matter of choice whether you do play into public places or not.

Yeah, it's true, but some communicable diseases don't care about being a VIP or not. Diseases are not for the poor alone, anybody can contract Covid for example. So, to avoid such things one should be careful about visiting such environments. I understand what Op insinuates and it's a valid idea. However, it's always hard to stay indoors without going out to visit the casino and mingle with other gamblers in the neighborhood or city. In the scenario, gamblers are expected to be watchful of the symptoms from the people next to them. One shouldn't stay close by to someone who is coughing a lot. Although the exclusive casinos for VIP is more serene and calm for the health of people that visits the place. But it doesn't mean the player can't get infected there.

There are plenty of in land gambling shops that are decent to make use of for our gamble, you dudes are making it seem as if if it's not a vip and highly class in land gambling shops then all other ones are either dirty, stinky or filled with hoodlums and drug users with fights as the order of the days. I don't know if you guys are saying this based on your environmental perspective but from where I come from there are decent average class casino's with decent users flocking in and out without any form of violence and everyone seem to always mind their business focusing on just the gambling they are for.

Online casinos offer many conveniences that can comfort their users because they can gamble wherever they want and don't have to go to the casino. They can gamble using their devices connected to the internet and choose from many online casinos. But that could pose a risk to them where they might become too lazy to go anywhere because they still want to gamble. Itgamblers who gamble at online casinos need better self-control because when they gamble at online casinos from their rooms, they can enjoy their free time and forget about everything.

Meanwhile, those who want to gamble at offline casinos must go to the casino before they can start gambling, and they must pay attention to safety factors because those who are going to offline casinos must bring sufficient money. Perhaps they can swipe their credit or debit card when they arrive at the casino, but that also carries the risk of using more money. Offline casinos also have temptations, although different from online casinos, but they are still temptations that they must avoid. There is a lot of pressure when they gamble at offline casinos, so they have to be really careful.

It is up to each gambler to choose which casino they want to use. If health reasons require them not to visit crowded places too often, they should start turning their attention to online casinos.

I think each type of gambling has its pros and cons. Depending on each person's preferences, they will choose to play outside or play online at home. Maybe crowded and cramped spaces will make us more susceptible to infectious diseases, but I think we don't need to worry too much about those things, because we can get infected anywhere, unless we just stay indoors. This is the case where you clearly know his illness, but suppose you go to a restaurant or a shopping center, there are thousands of people there and there will probably be someone near you who has the illness that you don't know, right?
Personally, I still prefer the experience of gambling with people around me rather than playing online. Being able to compete directly between people, along with discussing and chatting together while playing cards is a very interesting feeling, online gambling can hardly give us those things.

The opinion you have expressed here is correct. People who gamble often have various problems in their families. People who gamble don't spend much time with their family. People who are addicted to gambling get involved in many crimes and commit various crimes starting from drugs.  There is a high chance of getting involved with drugs. So I think it is better not to get involved with them and once one gets involved there is no limit to the suffering in life.

Yes and you have mentioned some of the bad effects that are very likely to be experienced by many gamblers as well as those that can affect or impact the people around them such as families when they gamble in the wrong way or gamble in a way that is not recommended, we have to go back to the actual fact that the societal perspective on gambling as a whole is negative and means that of course there is no positive expectation from someone who is already involved in gambling even if they are basically capable of being a good or responsible gambler because the possibility of bad potential is always lurking in them, and means that there is nothing better than not gambling at all or avoiding gambling activities. On the other hand, it is the right thing to do, no matter if you just want to have fun with gambling because the bad possibilities cannot always be avoided completely and it means that it is very possible for you to eventually become someone who is addicted to gambling and suffer many problems that will befall you and the closest people in your life.

I wouldn't say that's the problem, but people who gamble out of addiction are trying to escape something. So it's common to have some kind of apparent problem. So addicts try to seek refuge in this

Actually these things are really that existing but it is really just that not right to presume that everyone is really that something like such as this on which its never been that ideal on having those conclusions.
People could really be able to play gambling according into their likes and interest, it is really just that we dont really know the backgrounds of each and everyone. If you dont like on making yourself getting
involved with problems then as much as possible then it would really be that wise that  you should really be avoiding it all cost. Speaking about being that health conscious then if you are really that worrying about getting infected due to exposure with other ill people on public places then it would be best that you shouldnt really that make yourself going into these places in the first place.

They're not gambling responsibly therefore they're getting addicted and it's the frustration that's making them to get the other addictions that you mentioned. Online gambling is very comfortable but also increase the chances of getting addicted when you're not disciplined. You can keep gambling everytime without getting stopped therefore you have to be disciplined as an online gambling user. If you're an online gambler you can spend time with your family members.

Online gambling doesn't take all your time and it doesn't take you out of your home therefore it's beneficial if you want to spend time with your family and love ones. Online gambling can make you get addicted to taking other substances as drugs and alcohol as you will want other substance to add to the entertainment you're getting from gambling and if you're not careful you'll become addicted to them too.

What is gambling addict running away from, try explaining things little.
Gambling addicts only have thoughts that are truly focused on every gambling activity, they do it because they have deeper desire to achieve something they really want, such as winning big or becoming rich from the results of gambling.
This is an attitude that becomes habit and makes person have a character that is really only dominant in one treatment, they are addicted and everything they do will only be more inclined towards gambling.
And I don't think everyone uses gambling as an escape from every problem that occurs because most people still have the same habits when they are in complicated problem, they will choose to go to drinking parties or go to nightclubs and even hire hostesses.
It is clear that gambling is not the main place that most of them go to escape problems and those who do this are people who already know or even enjoy gambling.
I say that everything is wrong if you think that family problems or any problems make many people use gambling as their main escape or even cause someone to become addicted to gambling.

It heavily depends on the area you are visiting your favourite land-based casinos in. You say you like chatting with people around? Lucky you! It means they are good people to spend time with. Not all areas are like that.

And normally there are chat boxes in online casinos where you can chat with people too. I personally enjoy chatting in poker rooms, and I wouldn't say those the only places I chat with gamblers. Dice lovers are pretty nice to chat with too.

It's really lucky when you find someone to talk to inside casino houses because one of the things I noticed inside the casino, People are too serious and focused on what they're doing, or even if they're not doing anything, you can't just talk to them because they are deeply thinking. I don't know if it was because of their losses or some other reason. Most of those who are in the casino, there are different reasons why they stay in that place, they can release their stress better when they find someone to talk to who is a fellow gambler.

One of the advantages of online casinos is that some have the option of chatting with other people and with the Dealer, so although different from the norm, there is interaction and network. I'ts very interesting.

But for some gamblers, they prefer to play at offline casinos because there they can interact more realistically with other players, unlike interacting online where it is very limited to just the chatbox. They can interact directly and listen to various stories from other people or from dealers - and that makes them enjoy gambling more.

In terms of interaction physical casinos provide more communication options with other people and the operators since they are physically present. You can easily interact with people and even make some friends in a brick-and-mortar casino. And you have the privilege of monitoring other non-verbal expressions such as body movements and facial expressions. Online casinos provide communication via electronic channels only which means identity can be faked. It might be absurd but I don't like chatting with fellow gamblers because they are not really who they claim they are. It could be a platform for scams this is just my personal opinion.

No online conversation can be compared to physically interacting with people around us, it helps in making the gathering livelier. But looking at the Op's point of view, in a world where some viruses and transmittable diseases circulate around the society, most times it's best not to get involved in conversation around a clustered environment. If going to such environments is the only option, then playing online is a better way of dealing with such a situation. No need feeling comfortable around noisy environments. Op's thread is as though an eye opener, for gamblers who spend their time in an overcrowded shops or casinos.

Although the game doesn't seem interesting when gambling alone, unlike in casinos where we've got other players around us, who can chime in new ideas or strategies. And enlighten us on factors that could help in achieving a comfortable gambling lifestyle. I think Op's friend should look into his health and that of other people around him. Considering the type of sickness he's suffering from, engaging in a place like that, will only worsen his situations.

A person who has tuberculosis may shed Mycobacterium tuberculosis when they cough. It may pose a danger to other people in offline casinos. I don't understand this hostility towards online services. This can be compared to trading. You know, before the era of online trading, trading was carried out in special institutions. Traders traded in the so-called pit. They shouted quotes, trying to get the best price. With the advent of computers and the Internet, the situation has changed radically. Now transactions happen quietly. You can make yourself some tea, sit comfortably near the monitor and have fun in comfort.

There are limited direct health benefits associated with online gambling. However, some proponents argue that certain aspects of online gambling platforms, such as social interaction in virtual communities or cognitive stimulation from strategic games, may have minor psychological or social benefits for some individuals. Nonetheless, it's essential to balance potential benefits with the risks of addiction, financial loss, and other negative consequences associated with gambling. Overall, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, engaging in positive social activities, and seeking professional help if needed are crucial for overall well-being.

In simple English, gambling cures fear and anxiety and make one stronger in the midst of challenges. Anyone who does not develop hypertension as a result of gambling may likely not have it ever because the kind of heartbreak gamblers face daily is not seen anywhere. People that are close to that are forex traders but the loss in gambling is more frequent and if it happens that the gambler is an addict, it get worse. But in the midst of all these negative force is strength and courage.  Gambling truly cure psychological problems far more then the experts. I might be exaggerating but that is what works for me. Nothing surprises me anymore as long as it has to do with money.

Remember that courage and recklessness are not that different. and if someone spends a lot of money in gambling or bets quite large amounts, then it is not courage, but rather carelessness, because he is risking and losing a lot of money for something that he is not sure of getting.

Good risk-taking must never be about the world of imagination and illusion because it can lead to such negative outcomes as loss of money or opportunity. Thus, good risk-taking depends on being able to assess the probable benefits versus the probable losses and also by estimating what the odds are of achieving success.

Gambling excessively or habitually can elicit impulsive or addictive tendencies that may actually hinder a person's risk-taking capacity in practical situations. On the contrary, the cultivation of wisdom about taking risks involves gaining experience, impartial assessment, and the formulation of good decision-making abilities.

Gambling may involve some elements of risk, but that does not necessarily mean a person is good at taking risks in other aspects of life.

Hello, Moreno233, your context of writing is a bit confusing to me, were you trying to say that gambling cures fear and anxiety? Or is it a typo, were you trying to say cause? Responding to this idea of yours that gambling cures anxiety, I think it's the opposite. Gamblers face lots of anxiety while gambling. Due to the high rate of losses. As you said, the money lost in the process can lead a player to be hypertensive. However, gambling and forex trading seem close, but gambling is quite very risky. Don't have an idea of forex, though.

Then you last line on gambling curing psychological problems, it's not also clear. Gambling causes psychological problems. On the other hand, people also use gambling relax their nerves, when stressed out. So, if a player is already experiencing problem gambling, he'd hardly regain his mental health with gambling. Trying to figure a better context for your response, but I'm clouded with the misconceptions on the word "cure" used to declare what gambling does to players. Would be cool if you remove my doubt.

Large bets are a direct path to a quick loss, but of course there will be those who win, but their number compared to the losers will be huge, so I prefer to play not very high and not too low stakes.

Assessing and accepting risk is what gambling can really do. This has helped me in other aspects of life, because we actually encounter risk in many places and in different areas. I don't want to say that this is why you should play it, but gambling can give an initial idea.

The other side is that gambling is dangerous due to addiction, as you wrote above, so it is important for the player to know that this can happen, there is no need to neglect it and think that it will happen to someone else. Believing in your chosenness and specialness is the first step to losing.

I mostly sees gambling as a means of getting fun and this alone is a source of giving joy and excitement to the gamblers each time they are gambling, this helps relieves from stress, pressure and busy schedules of the day, some people prefer using gambling to whine away their time and they also uses such to make friends and get entertained, well, maybe i should agree that some too make a little income source from it which is what other people see as benefits from them to occasional earn from gambling even though they understand it's not something that is constant.

There are benefits from any gambling activity. And first of all, this is a benefit for the player himself. This benefit lies in the fact that a person learns to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty. Learn to correctly calculate chances and limit risks. This is a very important skill, in fact it is one of the functions of intelligence, and I would say that this is intelligence - probabilistic intelligence. In other words, gambling develops probabilistic intelligence. You know, for some it is news that the theory of probability developed from gambling.

It's things like this that sometimes make us a little worried if we want to go to an offline casino because we can't differentiate between people with a normal cough and those with a cough who are suffering from TB. Even though this disease can't just be underestimated when it's infected, I too It's quite sad about people who are selfish and don't care about other people and only think about their own satisfaction. They know the disease can be contagious but they just let it go as if nothing would happen, things like this remind us of Covid-19 where everyone is encouraged to wear masks to protect themselves from deadly viruses, people who have infectious diseases should have the self-awareness of not transmitting the disease.

Going to an offline casino does seem exciting, but we also need to be wary of people. We can protect ourselves by always maintaining our health and not just handling food without washing our hands and widening the distance so we don't get too close to people we don't know. Apart from that, we can also take care of ourselves by maintaining cleanliness after we leave the offline casino by cleaning ourselves so that we can avoid any type of bacteria that sticks to our clothes. We also need to take care of the health of the rest of our family if we have gone outside.

The pandemic Covid-19 sure did give us many lessons in life and I think most people now are health conscious because of what happened. I see more people cycling now and others are running or jogging unlike before the pandemic hits.
Yes, it's true that we can prevent those illness by staying at home but we should not forget about getting some fresh air too. Even if we can gamble at our home, it doesn't mean we will stick with that routine and forget about the life outside. It's unhealthy too.

Yes, it's true that gambling anywhere, online or offline, still has positive and negative sides, so both are really not always healthy, for example, in offline casino gambling, we can usually be exposed to cigarette smoke or other infectious diseases when we come into contact with other people, as is the case when The Covid disease is rife which requires everyone not to interact outside and is required to stay at home but even then you don't always have to sit and gamble at online casinos. although at that time online casinos were very popular because everyone worked from home and finally set aside their time to gamble looking for entertainment and other income.

Apart from that, online and offline casinos still cannot be justified either way, but people still need to look for fresh air outside to just exercise and the like, it's not good to stay at home and not move too actively, it will also cause a lot of problems. illness and health will also be affected, what you say is true in essence, everyone should be able to consider gambling as just entertainment, you don't have to always be serious about playing, there is time to rest and exercise to maintain health. If we talk about health, it depends on how the gambler views gambling and his health.

In my opinion, it all depends on the individual and I don't blame the physical casino shop for not providing comfort in its place, because excessive visitor capacity makes the atmosphere of the place uncomfortable, and has the potential to have a bad impact on visitors.
And in my opinion, this does not only happen in physical casinos and in other places such as bars or other places that have the potential to attract a lot of people and also cigarette smoke because there is no smoking ban.
So I mean, depending on the individual, if a gambler is no longer comfortable with the conditions of the casino room, it is better to leave. Or look for a casino that is more comfortable and safe in all respects and if you don't want to, it's a good idea for gamblers to dress covered and wear masks and gloves before visiting the casino. And there are many more ways to avoid viruses and so on which have negative impacts and must be considered for personal comfort.
Because whatever happens the physical casino will not care and they will only think about the money coming in, and the casino cannot be blamed because it is a contagious disease and it is their own fault if they do not anticipate it. So it all comes back to each individual and if you want to be safe from viruses or whatever, why not gamble at home using an online casino.

In my personal opinion, the benefit of online gambling for our health is that we can learn to hone our brains and skills so that they develop further by being shown or exposed to various kinds of online gambling, of course we will try to carry it out little by little so that we will gain knowledge by ourselves. and by gambling online for our health, we just sit quietly or relax on the bed playing online gambling of our choice and we don't directly face or meet other gamblers whose health is still in doubt.

You're right, and it was strange for me to read that this guy, who had a lung disease, did not decide to take care of himself and switch completely to an online casino. I understand that this is a matter of everyone's taste, and physical casinos have their own charm.
For some, going there is a whole holiday: flashing lights, polite staff - it attracts to physical casinos and you want to come and play.
But online casinos have great advantages: to sit comfortably with a cup of coffee in an armchair and play gambling.

To be frank I have never visit any physical gambling shop and I don't see myself going there ever to gamble, I just don't vibe those places, I just enjoy gambling online testing various platforms of my choice when I feel like, though I still have one or two I love best. There are so many benefits of online gambling platform which I can say to me outweigh the physical casino but those who prefer to use physical casino knows why they still just prefer it to the online but I guessed it may be because that was were they started gambling or made most wins.

I hope you told him that some online gambling platform has a chat group were users can  interact with each other which makes it fun and entertaining like the physical bet shops

Online gambling and physical gambling shops has different feels. Most time when play at the physical shops, you might be lucky enough to get good games from so other experts who gamble there as well so theirs high chance of winning. In my country for instance a lot of people prefer the local gambling stores because it's easier for them compared to online where you have to go through some kyc and other stuffs. Physical gambling store you just have to buy your slip and play your games weather virtual or sport betting. For me I enjoy both the online and the physical gambling methods.

Whatever a human being engages in, and they lose money at the end of it, it won't be regarded as a benefit to them, be it online or physical gambling.

When something should be regarded as beneficial to humans is when it helps and boosts their body or it helps in their financial growth. But whereby nothing of such happens, and it takes from them financially, would you call that beneficial to us even though we can afford to go to crowded physical gambling to avoid being contacted by different illnesses we might not know of, just to stick with online gambling only.

Having said that, if your point is for gamblers to do more online gambling because of the case you mention, that means gamblers have to avoid going to crowded places. Remember that gambling houses are not the only crowded place one could go, not to get contacted by illnesses. One can get contacted in crowded places like the market, schools, religious centers(churches, mosques), etc

In a nutshell, every gambler should go with the gambling method they are convenient and knowledgeable with(online or physical), not what gamblers will advise to.

When it comes to user experience or in compared with the ambiance then for sure both things could really be differentiated but in speaking or in talks about health benefits then this is something that
i dont see any other reason then it would really giving out that kind of health benefit but rather having that kind of leisure and entertainment.Yes, it could give out that kind of chill and relaxation but it would reall be just that temporal. Why? It would really be replaced by something that disappointment on the time that you would really be experiencing those loses on which this would really be the common scenario or situation
that you would really be able to have in gambling. This is why it would really be better that having that self acceptance when dealing up with gambling.

Dont know if this one would really be giving out that kind of health benefit or not, one things which is important is that it could bring out that kind of leisure then this one really counts.

I think there are no other health benefits in gambling apart from being able to make us feel happy by gambling when we are in a boring situation in some free time, gambling when you are feeling stressed can indeed make you feel happy from some of the sensations you get like when you betting on types of online betting, such as slots, where there is music that decorates the course of the game along with several symbols that look funny or interesting, but what we have to remember is that the health benefits can only be obtained when you gamble without placing high hopes. overdoing it on winning, because it is clear that intentions and goals can really influence your sensation of the results at the end of the session, which means that you really have to be a typical responsible gambler who has the ability to accept the fact of losing, because what is certain is that if you are a responsible gambler then I think it is unlikely for you to risk an amount that you basically cannot afford to be responsible for because usually a typical gambler like this will prioritize pleasure rather than pursuing victory which usually makes you experience regret at the end of the session, the point is that gambling can be a place stress triggers and absolutely no health benefits whatsoever if you treat gambling the wrong way.

We may not have a direct impact to the benefits of what we receives from the influence of only gambling, because some are inherent while some are depository, we need to gamble for the benefits of what we want to have while having fun, this alone is part of what contributes to how excited we are each time we are going to gamble, just as some will say that gambling makes them feel relaxed of the contracted facial muscles after a hectic day.

I agree with you, I have been to some physical betting shops some years ago and the environment is not good for gamblers to spend an hours in the shop because of the environment and the heat that is coming out from the shop base on the population of people in the shop,and it can make some people to contact disease from the center.

Not that the owner of the gambling center are not making money from the  from the shop, but they don't want to use their money to maintain the place for gamblers to enjoy the place through out the hours they are going to spend in gambling.

I stopped gambling in public center, because some people use to smoke in the gambling shop and there is no way you can tell them not to smoke in the gambling center, which is the reason why I used to play bet in my home without stepping out to physical gambling shop to play bet.

I am still trying to scrutinize the health benefits of gambling which can be rare compared to the disadvantages. Once we understand the effect of gambling, I don't think we would be scared to gamble because we know so much about gambling and how we can prevent oneself from becoming too addictive to gambling. Gambling could have it own advantages which could include making free money and living the kind of lifestyle that we want especially when we hit the jackpot. If someone keeps becoming fortunate in gambling, we might be surprised to earn huge and spend funds the way we like since it is free money.

Actually I don't think the KYC is the main reason they prefer the physical meetings, maybe because there they can spend time with friends. In Nigeria, which is also where you are from,  we also have our local online betting platform like Sportybet and I haven't heard anyone complaining about stress there and it's still possible to share booking code with friends online.

Also don't forget in our local betting shop there are times when there won't power supply to place a bet but online we can do it when we want, while another reason I prefer online is also from the fact I can't lost my booking code.

Lately, I have been talking with some people on the internet who happen to suffer from some mental health issues, like anxiety, social phobia and stuff like that, which requires professional assistance and even medication for them to face it andive a normal life. This thread this surfaced again and makes me think on who gambling and those kind of mental issues could interest between each other and how it could affect the well being of them.
There are much people out there which suffer from some problems and they are yet to be formally diagnosed, still they are aware they are suffering from something which is not normal at all.
So, my take on gambling and mental health would be to avoid gambling if one believes there is something abnormal going on with the psyque and with the way we perceive world.

I am sure most of your would agree with me, that it's not the same to have someone mentally and emotionally stable to engage in gambling than someone who has undiagnosed bipolar disorder or depression. It is one of the consequences on how society usually stigmatizes mental health.

I completely agree with you! In addition I can also add skills like financial management, emotional control, and the ability to take calculated risks. These abilities are invaluable in everyday life and can significantly enhance the quality of our decisions and overall life quality

It's sad to know that your friend has got a communicable dieses which is contagious by bacterias, and as such, it's advisable if he could prioritize his health first before deciding which mode to gamble on, (i.e either physical or online), because just as he is still finding it difficult to gamble only on online casinos but prefer the physical, so do we also have many people who loves/prefer to gamble on a physical sport betting shop/casino, due to the opportunity it grants to have fun, make new friends and interact with like-minded people of same sports, where they discuss and share betting tips, which can not be done if you are gambling alone on an online casino.

So just as gambling on online casinos prevent you from contacting communicable dieses such as tuberculosis, it also prevent you from having the opportunity to meet and interact with like-minded people of your sport.

You are right about that but I think nowadays, people who go to gambling center are not there because they want to see their friends or hang out, they are there to bets and nothing more. There is this type of bet they call virtual where you go to stand and place a bet and under some minutes you can win some money or lose some money, most often they don't win anything and they become addicted and spend the rest of their days from morning to evening.

With this, I think online gambling will erase this type of behavior in our society, you will surprise that many of them spend the their night sleeping on those shops trying to make money they will never make and when I check the micro factor of this problems, it's unemployment that increases this activity of joblessness.

Personally, I agree with your cautionary stance. It is very important to prioritize mental health and approach gambling if at all with a clear understanding of your mental and emotional state. But it's probably important to note that a person with the problems you describe should avoid not only gambling, but also any high stress situations.
Moreover, the societal stigma around mental health can indeed complicate the situation. But friends and family can help create a supportive environment that reduces stigma and promotes healing and understanding.



You make a valid point about the social benefits of physical gambling spaces, but there's also a crucial aspect of responsibility that can't be overlooked. Prioritizing one's health and the health of others should be paramount. Choosing to gamble online over physical locations, especially when dealing with a contagious illness, reflects a responsible decision. So it seems to me that gambling, whether online or offline isn't the root cause of such issues but it act as a catalyst that exacerbates pre existing problems.

 You've made a very good point here, well I'll start by saying that your neighbours is very stubborn for refusing to listen to his doctors advise and therefore putting others at risk of contacting the disease, the online gambling and casino site has made it very easy for individuals to relax comfortably at home and make their predictions so I wonder why he still insist on going to stuffy bet shops to gamble despite his health condition.

 Left for me I'll suggest he quit gambling for a while and use that money to take care of his health condition, he's putting himself at more risk based on the fact that he needs to be more relaxed and in a good mental condition instead of thinking and being depressed when he suffer from heavy lose. Normally, I don't think it's okay for individuals with health issues to get involved in gambling I consider it risky.

Yes, it's possible that when the man was suffering from his illness, he definitely felt bored and fed up, so he took it out by playing online gambling as a way to entertain himself so he wouldn't think too much about the illness he was suffering from. However, this also needs to be taken into account because in any case the man must get enough rest so that his illness can get better soon. After all, we as gamblers also cannot force other people's will, let him be the one who feels it because he is good and bad, he is the one who takes it upon himself. Let's just take the positive side, maybe by playing online gambling someone will feel entertained by themselves because access is easy, can be played individually and there are no restrictions in any way, but we also need to remember that we must always be careful and maintain good control.

I think that for such a player, who has contracted tuberculosis, it is most likely not interesting to place bets alone, sitting in his apartment and actually being isolated from other people. 
It is true that for many players it is very important not just to place bets, but to discuss them with other people.  It is from such a discussion that, firstly, the decision on bets is made not only by the player himself, but also by a group of people with whom he discussed the bets.
Secondly, the player has someone with whom to discuss, one might say almost professionally, the bet that he is making.  This communication can be even more important for a person than winning or losing in the game itself. 
So this sick person is unlikely to be as comfortable and interested in gambling while sitting at home at the computer and alone.  This game probably won’t replace a physical casino for him.

Yes, that could be, meaning that each person always has a different reason as to why they come and get involved in gambling, where maybe desperation can also be one of the drivers for someone to get involved in gambling like you said about the man in the story above. because he felt bored and fed up due to the illness he was suffering from, which in the end took his despair out on gambling in order to relieve his boredom and stress by always spending his time in the room without activity, and of course in this case he had to be really careful. in involvement in gambling because yes I understand that gambling can be entertaining and fun but however it cannot be denied that gambling can also trigger stress and depression if done in the wrong way or too aggressively.

So yes, of course I think we already understand this, that although gambling can be quite fun, on the other hand, we also have to think about the negative impacts, especially if you are sick, where your health could get worse if you experience some of the impacts it causes. by gambling, so in my opinion using gambling as a medium to entertain and relieve boredom when you are sick is too risky, I think there are many other things you can do such as playing regular games or watching Netflix.

I also think that a person who has tubercolysis is something very delicate, and yes, I understand that he has to entertain himself but it is something that a Person like this must do to entertain himself. I would call him to read, not to make plays in the casino because the same frustration of the Illness can make you lose, because if you don't take good care of it, that illness can be very delicate, that's something that everyone thinks, I have a friend who had that illness and it lasted 5 months and he couldn't leave home, plus Since this disease is so contagious, he was always locked up in his room, the truth is that it made him depressed, and he didn't see how he could entertain himself, so as he came out of that disease, one of the things he did the least was think about playing, he was Very evil.

For someone dealing with an illness like tuberculosis the isolation necessary to protect others and manage their health can indeed make gambling alone less appealing and even detrimental. I agree with the suggestion to find other forms of entertainment that are less risky and more enriching during such a trying time. Important to focus on recovery and find joy in activities that contribute positively to one's health and happiness.

What is the point of avoiding KYC online only to go.to.a physical betting shop with you present there, what the difference when everyone sees you, they might even have you on camera and have your coverage all in their data based, that may not be an excused for using the physical betting site. I juts think that because it's the old traditional way of gambling back then, it doesn't mean it will completely disappear when new modified way of optimizing gambling comes up.

As a gambler, I would love to be an introverted person about gambling and not well known for visiting a particular place like a jobless individual who gamble to survive. Again, I don't think my brain can handle the stress of people's noise to be able to concentrate and pick good games, I'm not sure about that and some of them will don't just go there because they don't have phone to the internet, they do but just want to win through physical means get handshake with members of the high table for winning big games from them, they want to go viral through winning of games.

It is true, everyone's opinion will be different if they think gambling is very risky when someone is sick. I don't blame you for your opinion just now and the most important thing is whether we are healthy or sick, if we want to gamble we must keep control of our limits. This is very appropriate because basically playing gambling is not just entertainment when you are bored, but we can also get the opportunity to win, otherwise we will definitely face high risks too. Therefore, play with appropriate limits when considering the situations and conditions we experience ourselves.

Yes because after all this is gambling where we have to focus more on some of the potential bad things that might happen, so there is nothing wrong if we talk and pay more attention to precautions. On the other hand yes of course everyone has their own perspective in dealing with everything including gambling when they are sick, and actually it doesn't matter if for example they still want to relieve boredom by engaging in gambling but on the condition that they must really understand the bad risks that will always lurk while they are there, the point is to set limits, maintain awareness and strengthen self-control and another thing is to always allocate the amount of money that you can afford to lose, or that means not exceeding your ability, remember in gambling there are so many things that can be tempting and this is why I recommend maintaining awareness.

Most people don't like using online casinos but prefer to use physical casino shop because there are different factors that are taking that person to that shop. There are sometimes it is not because he is going there to gamble but just sitting there to watch sports games, going there to beg for money to buy food and eat for the day and also to gamble and to argue with one another to have fun and most of those things he can't get them when he is alone playing gamble online. Therefore he would prefer a crowded place to gamble. But if he adhere your advice he will also save souls because that sickness is a communicable disease. And for others to avoid contact such sickness, it is better to use online gambling platforms. Because those kind of people who has such sickness in most times refused to hear people advise so you that has not gotten the sickness should avoid him by leaving the place to a save zone.

Yeah, that's cool. I think gamblers who could use such skills will be a better person afterward. Financial management. This is a big one if we can really follow it because many gamblers do suffer from problems with how they can manage their money. Lack of a plan. Gamblers sometimes go overboard and do not spare any dollar thinking they can bring back all the money they lost as long as they keep on betting until they are zero. I think this is wrong because we are forgetting that a gambling site is not a charity group that will give back just like that. It will keep on taking our money and we should be reminded of that. What we can only do is try to prolong the battle and enjoy every bit of the gamble we are making.

That's right, and I'm sure they are gamblers who are involved in gambling based on a correct understanding of what gambling is, such as understanding the adverse effects of gambling that can happen to them at any time without prediction, which in turn makes them think to prioritize risk management as a preventive measure so that they can avoid the bad possibilities that exist in gambling. As you said about financial management or management in terms of finances by always applying limits to the allocation for gambling, and yes it is true that most gamblers today always experience problems with their finances due to experiencing too significant losses and obviously the mistake is in unrealistic or poor money management and this financial management is useful for everything in our lives and not just in gambling involvement.

Another mistake yes of course you have also said the right thing that they are too excessive in responding to gambling, one thing I know is that they think that getting a win is easy or even they think that gambling is a place to earn, so when they experience a loss they do not hesitate to make a decision to chase their losses which is actually clear the idea will only lead them to a much greater amount of loss because however long you run the session then the possibility of losing will continue to lurk and will always be a definite possibility. Therefore, it is clear that this is the reason why we are always advised to focus better on risk management such as putting limits on the time of involvement and also on the amount of budget and the other thing is also to put limits on expectations, do not let you put excessive expectations on winning because after all gambling will always be an activity that does not have any certainty or guarantee to always produce.

Indeed, prevention so as not to cause too high a negative impact is really needed when playing gambling, namely by limiting bets and the time when gambling. Yes, each person has a different way of filling boredom in their daily life, especially when they are sick, they might take a way to look for activities that don't use maximum energy, namely playing gambling using only capital as much as they like and just sitting or sleeping. while resting to restore his health.
And it's true what you said, don't forget that playing gambling also poses a big risk if played unreasonably, therefore gambling is fine as long as you can apply a money limit when playing.

We have seen many instances on the past about people losing control even when they are healthy and they have not consumed any substance that may impair their judgment, so doing this while being sick and taking medicines which could produce such an effect is not a good idea if you ask me, as even if I understand that a person in that situation wants to get some form of entertainment in order to distract themselves, I do not think gambling in such condition is the best way to do this.

But if a truly gambler falls ill, for whom gambling is not just entertainment, but a part of his life, then it is quite difficult, of course, to stop gambling and do something else while sitting at home and without going out. 
Well then, of course, only online games can partially brighten up the life of such a player.  And of course, it is completely unacceptable to walk around and spend a lot of time in public places with such a disease.  This can even be said to be a crime against other people who may become infected with this dangerous disease. 
But isolation for six months or a year before recovery is still not so critical compared to the danger that such a player can pose to strangers around him.

Scrolled through various topic and found your thread by saying  Another health benefit of online gambling I just stumbled and said whattttt online gambling now has health benefits :D Jokes aside

I feel sorry to your friend TBC is crazy frennn I mean I never had a friend or family that had TBC before I know this disease from the game Red Dead Redemption 2 and when the Main character get hit by this disease damn i feel it and it is very sad until the game finish. But you are kinda right friend I mean for his own benefit and other people safety I would suggest the same thing and that is online gambling for people who had long journey with offline gambling it would be hard to move but this is different.

I heard that TBC is curable so tell your friend to cure his disease first while play online game and this better for everyone

We have seen many instances on the past about people losing control even when they are healthy and they have not consumed any substance that may impair their judgment, so doing this while being sick and taking medicines which could produce such an effect is not a good idea if you ask me, as even if I understand that a person in that situation wants to get some form of entertainment in order to distract themselves, I do not think gambling in such condition is the best way to do this.

There are many things, many effects that can be given to a person to affect their way of playing, personally I believe that everything is in people's emotions, if there is no control over people's emotions it can happen that they become addicts. , even if they are healthy and do not take anything, or are not medicated, I will always think that when it comes to gambling you have to control things first of all the money and second the person has their emotions, so in any case to me That's what affects me the most, if it's not simple, we have to stop playing and protect our money and our health.

Of course, only by implementing or focusing on preventative measures will we be able to avoid the worse possibilities in gambling, in fact everyone can win and winning is a situation that most gamblers always look forward to, but it is a fact that most gamblers don't like it. with such a thing as losing, especially in large amounts, therefore of course the main thing we have to pay attention to is thinking of various ways to prevent this bad possibility from happening. On the other hand, everyone has the freedom to choose what they want to do under any circumstances, including relieving boredom when they are in their free time for some reason, such as illness or whatever, and remember that gambling can be very unpleasant if you treat it with care. the wrong way as you said above and of course the tension along with some pressure will be felt by someone when they fall deeper because they ignore caution, meaning you have to be able to ensure that you will not exceed your limits and if For example, if you feel unable to do it, then of course it is better to look for other alternatives to fill your time and avoid gambling.

Those who are used to playing in physical casinos may feel comfortable playing there. But online casinos are definitely better than those casinos especially if we review in view of convenience. A physical casino requires a gambler to spend time there. But online casinos can create a good environment for spending time in the privacy of the home. Using money in online casinos doesn't have to cost a lot. This task can also be easily completed at any time through bank transfer. But the most important thing is that the person who is suffering from a serious disease should conduct online gambling without any medical condition. Health protection is hard to maintain by in physically casinos.

Well said Mate.
One of the most important factor online casino provide is Privacy in terms of you playing at your own will, not necessarily being in a public place.
This sheds one from any possible transmission of disease, also avoiding conflict with others, security guarantee. I understand the fact that those who play in physical casinos will also give reasons as it subject to individual perception.  Online gambling is safer in terms of publicity relation than physical casinos. I know of a guy might who had respiratory tract disease just from gambling in physical casino, if he was the online casino gambler I don't think such would have been the case.

Whether physical or online casino, they all have their own benefits to gamblers and we just have to go for whichever one we so much love to use. Gambling is quite interesting but we just have to be wise so we don't attractively spend all our funds and have nothing to use and bet again. We need to be smart as gamblers be sometimes we could make money with a strategy and it is the same strategy that would make us to lose money if we are too confident with such a strategy. We need to be wise and do things in a way that is going to benefit us rather than contrarily which could have effects on us.

Just like gambling habits differ from gambler to gambler, so does Their benefits and views or perspectives also. For this simple reason I will not totally agree with all your points because I really don't think that aside from the financial benefits, they are many other general benefits of gambling. Every gambler has his personal reasons for gambling However this reason is not same for all gamblers and so are other aspects like benefits and even expectations.

This is not to say that general gambling benefits don't exist rather, some of these benefits are not general and therefore can differ from individual to individual even when it comes to financial benefits, it also depends on the water and odds especially in case of sports predictions.

Of course you gave your neighbor a nice tip. If he has such a problem, he should not go in crowds because tuberculosis can be spread from one person to another and also because the outside environment is not good, it will be very beneficial for him to participate in online casinos. But your neighbor might have had a lot of fun at a physical casino. It's true that gambling at a physical casino can be a lot of fun because a lot of fun is hidden in many people. Since his health problems he can certainly use the online casino platform and continue gambling once his health problems are resolved he can participate again without the need for physical gambling. Explain him well and talk about the online casino surely he will understand and participate here later.

It is true that these two types of casinos have their own advantages, which maybe I will explain a little that if you talk about physical casinos then maybe you will feel a different atmosphere where the game might run quite lively because you can meet many people or many typical gamblers and you can find many new friends to build social relationships with them but the drawback may be that physical casinos have opening hours and closing hours that require you to come when they are still in working hours, While for online casinos it is clearly different which is the advantage that more people like is because they can gamble whenever and wherever they want without any time restrictions or simply put you have full access which makes it easier for you to get involved and you can choose one of the two according to your criteria.

The other thing is obviously like you said that we should really be able to be a wise and intelligent gambler by being able to control gambling activities according to our abilities and not gambling that controls us, gambling is very interesting and usually people are more interested in the winnings that are there than entertainment or fun. and in my opinion there is absolutely no such thing as a strategy in gambling because after all gambling will always be a game that will never be predicted at any time, I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

Actually the benefits of gambling away from winning game is supposed to entertainment such that it should help you retire from the whole days stress and take out time to relax but then it's really sad that even the time we try to bring out for ourselves we end up using it to probably getting everything possible to win games which ends up stressing us which actually shouldn't be because it's expected these games relive you actually.

I don't like the fact that we try to be too smart going by all that you have mentioned because at the end of the day you find out that you just can't be too smart around the casino and that the casino is originally tilted to favour the house most of the times because the house edge always supercede the end or the system of the player as they have made it so naturally so you hardly be able to beat the house to their game which definitely may not get to work because it's always a gmaw of luck which you may not get lucky some  days rather you get to loose your funds.


Sometimes having a very good and effective strategy has got its own role bit plays in keeping you ahead in the game but sometimes it could fail and your defense then will be your risk management and how well you distribute your bank roll so you don't get stocked well enough i situations where you are unlucky and you happen to loose all that you have been able to make or that which you did came with and have assigned to gambling for the day.

What makes you think that a person can't use online gambling the same way? The only difference will be that now if they spend their night in gambling centers or casinos currently, they will start spending the nights at home doing the same thing because online gambling is more convenient when it comes to accessibility and you can access it from anywhere at any time.

So, I don't see any reason that can stop such people from doing the same thing in online gambling because online gambling gives them a lot of advantages such as easy accessibility which makes it very easy for them to gamble since they don't need to go outside anymore only for gambling. The second reason is that they get easy and quick payment methods which are not found every time in a land-based casino.

It's true that we lose self-control and don't see the situation that is there because the loss of control is purely based on the thought patterns in our heads that are no longer good or can be said to be unstable, therefore many people lose control even though they are not sick or healthy. . because he lost control based on the intense greed that had penetrated his heart and mind, not just because he was sick.

We can get  a positive impact in gambling when we are Inoue home alone . If we have  and illness and advised by the doctor that we need to hide ourselves in public then the best thing to do  is playing and gamble in some online casino everytime we want to gamble. but also w exist remember that gambling is one of the best exercise of our heart cause through gambling  there's a time that our heart beat faster when the crucial time we have in our play.

That is absolutely right. That is one of the advantages of gambling online it helps you minimize or reduce the risk of contacting some communicable disease. Sometimes when I go to offline gambling hall, I notice that most people don't take good care of themself. Some will be producing some unpleasant oudour from the body or the mouth, making you feel uncomfortable in gambling. at times you don't even have privacy, some addictive Gamblers whom are out of fund will keep on pesting around you, by beging you to help them with some money to gamble, after they might have spent the little they have on betting. So all this I have explained are the things that make a most people not to gamble offline likewise me too.

I completely understand your point but the fact that he is a truly gambler cannot be an excuse for his irresponsible behavior towards others. Yes, he can make choices regarding his own health and life. However, he also risks the health and well being of others which is inexcusable. A responsible people would promptly take all necessary measures to improve their condition or ensure they do not infect others especially in crowded places. In such cases, support from relatives or friends can be extremely important. And yes it seems that he is just desperate.

This may be true but at the same time it could be false practice to think that online gambling will help you to avoid contacting communicable disease because if you do go out to gamble you still engage in one or two activities that still require you to have contact with others because gambling alone is not a enough toake you remain indoor for a long time without needing to seek service or render service such as going to work or market this activities will always warrant you to have contact with other by all means.

It's sad to notice that no much gambling in some vicinity is conducive. I think visiting such places would be a red flag because not everyone would be comfortable staying there. Most players may not be physically and mentally sound such that they will end up getting into more sickness or suffer more pains. While those who have little to no disorder could develop one by spending lots of time in an environment where such people spend most of their times. The best things would be avoiding the company of such players and focus online. Then when a better conducive casino arrives cool people can be there to focus on their games. I understand that gambling online can be boring when done alone. Hence some players prefer playing offline some of the time. Yet it's important that they look around their environment and avoid unhealthy places which may end up putting them into trouble.

Absolutely, its crucial to approach it with the right mindset. Maybe think of it as a form of training, setting boundaries, knowing your limits, and walking away when necessary. harnessing those skills not just in gaming experience  but also to apply them in broader life contexts.


For sure, adjusting our expectations is essential. and it's inspiring to see how this awareness can foster a disciplined approach to financial and risk management turning gambling into an opportunity for personal growth in decision-making and self control  :D

It seems to me that there can't be a definitive answer here. Yes in this situation opting for online games appears to be a reasonable alternative. However, for this particular player the issue should be considered more comprehensively. We can't simply suggest switching to online platforms. If a person is unwell, they need support from relatives, friends and alternative methods of recreation and entertainment possibly including a change of scenery.

Of course ,Gambling can be a good helper for a lonely person because if he doesn't have a companion or partner to spend his time with, he can spend his lonely time gambling.
Also, one thing I can't accept is that I don't understand how gambling can be helpful for people with heart problems. A heart patient may be happy if he gets a profit from gambling but if he gambles with huge losses then he is more likely to develop heart problems. In that case, whether he can control himself is also a matter of consideration.
However, for patients who are told to avoid public contact, gambling can be an important means of passing the time. For those patients, gambling is an important way to pass the time of solitude.

When lonely it's best to read about gambling than to gamble with no experience. A gambler who is lonely is quite considerably, but a non gambler who as a result of illness engaged into gambling is a wrong choice. Because nothing profitable will be made out of the player's game. When playing games alone, truly, it requires experience. Nothing should be right with a non experienced player to engage into gambling, blindly. Talking of a patient with a heart disease, I think such people should focus and dread after their life. Other than undergoing the stressful path of gambling. It's not advisable for a sick person to be lonely, having a helper is crucial. Gambling in times when our health is not stable will only put the player into a bigger trouble.

What if he gambles away money he's meant to use for treatment. Some suggestions look very risky that I wonder why, because gambling when sick is unrealistic. Players must focus more on doing the right thing other than dangerous looking moves, capable of derailing their self control and leading to severe mistakes. Unless a player like in Op is advised not to play around people in the public, it's a nice choice, so that they'll not contaminate other diseases or spread theirs in the environment. It's healthy to also gamble in a quiet environment, then communicate with people around us, after the session is exhausted. Than just staying all alone gambling with no body to discuss with and spend quality time together.

Well, without going too far, when the Covid pandemic was going on, I don't think that was the golden age of casinos, because there was a lot of income, a lot of people were giving up, and the truth is, some won, others lost, but that example fits perfectly. with what they are talking about, so basically the things when it comes to avoiding contagion from diseases, yes, obviously there is the advantage of being in an online casino, and hopefully with the KYC already completed to play with complete peace of mind, that is what you are really looking for, I am a person who really likes casinos, whether online or physical, for me convenience is important and that means that I can enjoy things at my own pace, that is why online casinos are the solution ideal for many players who love to have fun.

This is not at all a benefit. I mean if the user has a disease which spreads upon contact, then definitely the person need to take care of that and have to avoid any type of meetings with other person. You just irrelevantly joining this with gambling mate. Yes he is gambling in order to pass his time or for recreational purpose. But this is not at all a health benefit, and I am sure on this.

Seriously, what you describe is not a health benefit of online gambling, that's just a positive side of online gambling. When you talk about healthy benefit, it means that something should give a boost to your health, i.e. improve your cholesterol, insulin sensitivity, heart health, energy levels, adrenal fatigue, collagen production and so on. This is healthy benefit but since casino is not a herb or a drug or a sports, it provides no healthy benefit. The only benefit that casino can bring you is lowering of stress level and that's only possible if you get fun from casino but some people experience increased stress levels instead of low one.

Gambling can give a person temporary pleasure. If the gambler is healthy but if he is sick and at that time the plan to keep himself healthy by gambling is not necessarily correct. I think it's better for people with health risks to stay away from gambling until they recover. There are many instances where many have become seriously ill due to gambling losses. If the gambler is not aware of gambling then no one else will take responsibility. The gambler must take decisions carefully or else he will face many complications. There are many gamblers who have no problem with losses. Gambling is not suitable for those who are not ready to take sudden big losses even though the effect of gambling is not seen in their case. Moreover, gambling while ill is never supported.

Yup right, there is nothing better in approaching gambling that is to first focus on your recovery and then after you recover then you can engage in gambling, no other because it is like you said that there are quite a lot of examples of people who end up experiencing worse problems with their health which is because they are too forced to engage in gambling even though the situation and health conditions are not possible so that when they experience things that are not wanted such as losing streaks then obviously it will create unusual pressure and tension which in the end actually makes their health worse.

However, it is always recommended to be cautious and vigilant when you are involved in gambling, sometimes even healthy people can make unrealistic decisions even though they are in good condition - well especially for people who are experiencing problems with their health which usually can interfere with their focus in terms of making a decision which in the end even makes things worse, I understand that gambling can provide pleasure but please consider again, if for example your situation and conditions are not favorable then of course it is better to focus on your health first.

He's looking for an excuse to gamble and this is such an extreme case that I feel like there's no larger one that I could think of. It's comparable to a situation when someone is a pervert who gets aroused by the very presence of women, he could benefit from online gambling because that wastes his time on something that doesn't involve women and makes him stay at home.
Grasping for straws is a good phrase to describe what OP is doing :D

I agree that the psychological state of such a player will be extremely negative and depressed.  But even these players, who disappeared due to their illness in such a difficult life situation, can be completely different people in terms of mental abilities, character and attitude towards the people around them.  Some of them, who are among the most irresponsible people and often stupid people, simply do not care that he can infect other people with his disease.  But I think that such players are still few among those who find themselves in a similar difficult life situation.  Sometimes it’s true that relatives monitor the behavior of such a player and do not allow him to leave the house in public places. 
But if a person lives alone, then this does not work, he is his own boss and decides for himself whether to appear in public places.

If the meaning of someone who is unhealthy means someone who is still sick, of course what is more suitable for him is seeking treatment, not playing any games online or offline. Because most of the online game players nowadays are to entertain themselves and their friends when they gather in one place, but if the online game they play is in the form of a bet where in the end there is a loss and a win. Of course, this will only be done by himself without inviting others to play, although nowadays it is not uncommon for someone to invite their friends to play like that in a game.

When someone is struggling with illness their priority should definitely be on recovery and getting the right kind of treatment. Games, whether online or offline should take a backseat until they’re better. And I completely agree with you about the nature of online games these days they're really about having fun and connecting with friends. But as you pointed out betting games where there’s something to lose can be a whole different story. Those types of games might not be the best idea for someone in recovery, especially if it's done in isolation. So you need just choosing the right kind of interaction.

I agree with this. Because when you are sick and alone, you are more likely to get sick especially if you are not allowed to make interaction with other people. So you need recreational activities to past your time. And if online gimbling allows you to participate with other people, give you sense of achievement and self-confidence then it will really make that person feel better.

But I don't think that will be sustainable in the long run. Because gambling in relation with money is tough and stressful. If ever, may that person also find happiness in other means could be in form of art, music, or nature.

To maintain your fitness you need to eat healthy food along with regular exercise and physical activity. Now if someone tells me that gambling will keep my health and mind both good then I will say that this is totally absurd. We read in textbooks that playing sports is good for body and mind, and I believe it, but gambling never matches the game you actually play. In reality the games that you play are the games that win or lose will not have any bad effect on you but you will be happy but in gambling it is not like that but something different so I could not agree with your words.

so meaning he has no Job mate? he stays in home because of His severe case?

but the title says better about He must gamble in house to not fall engaging in other sick people , but for me she better off gambling because even if he is responsible  yet this attitude shows how he is adopting gambling to make him stay in house enjoying the game.

You're not alone on this thought. No matter how many times I've read the post, but still I didn't get the idea why there is an element of health benefit while the person who had severe lung related disease is gambling at the comfort of his home. I mean, where is the health benefit there? Is there a remedy in gambling, does the person's condition became better and better as he gamble every day?
Well, if that person is really into gambling, then online gambling would be best for him as the disease maybe contagious. That is not what we call benefit, it is prevention and that is better than cure.   

I think gambling should never be played thinking that gambling will cure my loneliness or gambling will only give me fun but we should take gambling seriously and gamble seriously. If you feel lonely you can go on a trip or you can play video games as well as spend time with friends, I don't think you need to gamble to get rid of your loneliness. If you gambled to relieve your loneliness or thought about gambling to relieve your depression, but at that time you gambled and lost, your depression will increase. Gambling will not keep you mentally and physically healthy because gambling will not only bring results in your favor but also against you and when it goes against you, you will naturally feel a little bad mentally. So gambling should be played carefully and should be given utmost importance.

I agree with you, the benefit is more appropriate if the gambling winnings can be used to buy medicine until he recovers and can return to his normal activities. If you just want to avoid crowds because of your illness, but still want to engage in gambling activities, that's more of a choice. So the choice is between going to a physical casino or gambling online.

Help from family friends and relatives most times goes a long way to help someone who's suffering a medical condition, gambling at such stage isn't the best recreational activity such person should be doing bas it's not medically proven to help FasTrack healing process of someone with a medical condition but i think like you rightly suggested, there are other alternative recreational activities that such persons can engage in that has been proven to help their healing quick enough, some of these activities could be tailored at a target part of the body to enhance the process of their healing.

Going for recommended recreational activities at the time of suffering a health condition is still the best approach and not going to do something you think will help nd probably end up with even worse condition, gambling is only recreational when someone is in their right health and State of mind and just want to have a different kind of fun.

If he realizes he needs to buy medicine, he will do that but as we know if someone playing gambling without control, he will not thinks about himself. He will forget that when he wins, he must trying to cure himself by buy medicine and take a rest for a while and not playing gambling. But if he feels that he is ill, he doesn't needs to comes to casino instead stay at his home and cure his ill. It's not recommended if someone still playing gambling in offline casino while he is ill because that can makes other people contracted his disease. That can makes panicking in that casino, especially we already survive from Covid-19 which is terrible experienced by many people. Selecting online casino is the best option for him when he is ill while he can take a rest until he gets recover from his ill.

Well right, there are actually many other things that can be utilized or made as an alternative to entertain yourself when you are feeling lonely, because no matter how fun gambling is, gambling still has the possibility of risks that are sometimes very large and that we never expected before, On the other hand, I do not prohibit you from gambling but certainly you must reconsider your intentions before finally making a decision, if for example you have considered everything from various sides, especially by understanding that gambling can no longer be fun when you experience a lot of losses then it is up to you if you want to stay involved or make gambling an alternative to loneliness.

What is certain is to always have the ability to take responsibility for whatever you have done, because only then will you not feel regret or emotion when things do not go your way. And I will tell you that gambling can give you pleasure when you are able to control everything well, but if not then there is definitely no health or entertainment benefits whatsoever because all you will feel is a lot of tension and pressure.

In my opinion going to a physical casino has its advantages as well as disadvantages. It's okay to be entertained but there is no real guarantee of winning in gambling. If the person loses if he is sick it will be worse for his health. He will never recover physically if he worries too much after losing. In order to maintain his health he should keep himself occupied with activities other than gambling that will help him recover quickly.

Tuberculosis is a very scary disease and such patients should not go to public places because of the high probability of spreading the disease.

How gambling affects this person is of little interest to anyone. This person is endangering other gamblers because of his irresponsibility. This person has a great alternative as online gambling. Why he does not play only online remains a mystery to me. 

If one knows about his health conditions, then it's better he moves far away from gambling if he can't maintain the ability of how to control himself while gambling, then it also have to depend on the desirability or sole reason why such gambler is gambling, considering his health condition, I don't expect such gambler to be gambling for money, instead for him to have fun and play, not minding whether he won or looses, these are my expectations on such gambler, as long as he could achieve that and control himself, he can gamble by having fun.

One of the main things that you would really be able to avoid on is on the time or moment that you would really be getting this kind of contagious diseases specially on the time that you do go into those public places on which we wont really be able to know that there would really be those people who would really be tending to go into these places without minding about their healt conditions. Speaking about TB or tuberculoses on which this is really that easily could really be spread up and if you are a fan on going into these places then high chances that you would really be getting one. This is why there are people who would really be that much more prefer on playing online rather than on going into those places considering that there are really those tendency that it would really be happening on a certain individual.

that's for sure, besides when someone is unwell their cognitive functions are likely not at their peak, making it difficult to make sound decisions or enjoy such activities fully. This could lead to not just physical and mental exhaustion but also potential negative outcomes in the games themselves which isnt ideal.

You've found one minor benefit that will be useful to probably a tiny minority of players. I'd say the biggest one is being able to compete with others around the world and pulling in vast profits (let's say poker) that you'd never be able to do face to face. Say if you're an expert player in the Philippines, early on at least you'll never get a visa to join a high roller table in Europe, but you can still clean the table out if you're truly skilled. On the flip side, having that sort of access can get you cleaned out much more quickly too, unless you identify you are leaking.

considering his compromised health condition, it is better to avoid gambling first until he recovers.
However, if the person is a gambling addict, and cannot give up his gambling activities. It would be better in my opinion to keep gambling online rather than going to a physical casino.
At least by continuing to let him gamble can make him feel happy and increase his immunity. but sticks to a smaller budget allocation than usual when visiting the casino, and he also doesn't mind losing some of his money. rather than forcing him to immediately leave and stay away from gambling which makes his mind confused and that can also affect his health.

Well, for others gambling is a stressful hobby especially those who lose way too much and that's inevitable in all online gambling sites.
But I do agree with OP that one of the health benefits of online gambling is avoiding contagious diseases like the one example that he gave. Especially in these days where different kinds of disease are spreading out, well the pandemic made a good example of that.

If he is a gambling addict then he is better off gambling. That way he may save that money and use it for buying his own medicine. It's not like the gambling sites are going away. They will always be there waiting for new customers to come in and I doubt they will just close down because of one gambling addict turning around and doing what is necessary while he is sick. Keeping himself healthy. Gambling is also a time consuming game, he might not be able to take care of himself if all he thinks about is playing.

Well that is one of the few benefits of the internet has given to us, specially those who doesn't like to socialize.
We could stay indoors all the time now because of the internet, we could order food, shop online and even for entertainment we have online casino or gambling, almost everything is online now.

It's true that a gambler cannot quit gambling immediately, but when he's sick it's quite risky for a player to still engage in gambling. I agree that the gambler can be made happy if allowed to wager few amounts and enjoy his session. This is valid if the player is ready to be under watch. Similarly, a sick person shouldn't be left on his own to do some things, especially financial transactions like gambling. Where he could be taken off guard and lose out lots of money enough to affect his health.

The situation as pointed by Op explains the cruciality of online gambling. How it's capable of reducing the way players with transmittable diseases go to the casino. It's all for the good of everyone. Both the gambler and his friends in the casino. Places fully crowded by people is meant to be avoided, as nobody knows who is actually healthy in that premises. I don't see any need of visiting a crowded gambling shop  enough to affect the ventilation of the room, when an online casino is available on his device.

The thread is not basically about how gambling affects someone's help but about how physical casinos can expose gamblers to some communicable diseases. It was about a neighbour who has an airborne disease called tuberculosis and has been advised by his physician to avoid public places due to the possibility of infecting others. People who are suffering from health issues like high blood pressure, heart issues or respiratory defects should gamble responsibly. Gambling more than they can afford to lose could lead to health complications that could be fatal. Any gambler who has been advised by doctors to quit gambling should avoid the activity immediately.

I am glad you understood my point of view. I have not insinuated that physical gambling is bad. I usually enjoyed physical gambling experience but I wouldn't risk my health because of entertainment. I still maintain my stance that any gambler who is suffering from transmittable disease should avoid physical casinos and enjoy online gambling. It will be better to forgo some level of fun for the safety of others. We shouldn't be selfish because the health of others matters.

I completely agree with that. Someone who knows that they have a certain health condition and that they can't bear a lot of pressure or stress, they are not supposed to be gambling or doing anything that might put them under a lot of pressure or give them a lot of stress or tension and we know how stressful gambling can be, especially if you are losing a lot of money in it.

Or as you said, such people should only gamble for fun and shouldn't do it for gains because those who gamble for gains tend to lose more money in it since they gamble irresponsibly, and when you gamble irresponsibly and lose a lot of money, you tend to be under a lot of pressure and be too much stressful.

I was randomly scrolling on Instagram last night and all of a sudden a fantasy football reel popped up and the guy talks about how playing fantasy football has been proven to help ones health.  Here is the link - https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6Y8nQuO-Wb/?igsh=a3d5ZGhsMzJvdmV1 .

You might have to be set up with an account to view it, but not 100% sure.  Anyways fantasy football is certainly a form of sports gambling that I love so much.  Definitely brings me a lot of happiness.

True, however what you suggest is the best decision for someone who is in a sick condition, a wise decision is to prioritize health over gambling because after all gambling is not a mandatory activity, and after all casinos never force gamblers to always be involved at all times in any condition, everyone must really be able to make decisions according to the situation and conditions. And yes it is true that if for example the story is that they are gamblers who have entered the addiction phase which I admit that it is very difficult to stop not gambling in any situation when they are already addicted then yes maybe the choice is like you said that make online casinos as an alternative, because if you force yourself to go to a physical casino with your sick condition then obviously it will be able to worsen your health.

But obviously overall the best option is actually not to engage in gambling at all especially when you are sick, but yes for those who are already addicted it is indeed difficult to do so, the other thing is of course as you said that we have to stick to a lot of restrictions that are useful to minimize things that are not wanted and actually this approach applies to all gamblers regardless of whether they are sick or not.

Even if a person with TB will gamble online, there is no guarantee that you will not get infected when you ride in the same elevator with him or stand next to him in the store. In my opinion, it is a question of whether a person infected with TB is motivated to protect the people around him. It seems to me that judging from the description of this person's actions, he does not care about the people around him. It turns out that the more such people there are, the higher the probability of catching TB without even knowing it. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

You have a very good point there. We can't entirely condemn gambling because we gamble for two reasons which are not only about money-making. People can gamble because of the fun they derive from it, while others gamble due to the money they want to earn from it, and if the former is the case of the person whose health is challenged, I see no big deal there. It might even be what will keep the company of the person during the time that he has to stay secluded for one reason or the other. But for the prevention of bad consequences in this regard, I advise that such a person should wager a very small amount of money per bet. This is how he can actualise the gambling fun and will not be burdened financially for whatever reason.

However, if such a person is gambling for money and not fun, it has to be done wisely, and if it has reached the extent to which it is now affecting his health, the best consideration is to quit gambling. After all, gambling is never by force and "health is wealth." It's only addiction that will make people continue gambling when they fully know that it is not positive for them financially and healthwise. And to avoid disaster, it is better to strictly stop it outrightly.

Most people find it difficult to adjust to a new set of circumstances, so if they were used to do something when they were healthy, it is going to be very difficult for them to stop missing what they did before they got sick, and gambling, while a lot of fun, is not really for those that suffer from stress or a heart condition, but despite knowing this they may think they may be able to handle it and go against the advice of their doctors, and only once they suffer a very important setback on their health, they may come to accept their new reality.

When it comes to those illness or health problems which are contagious on which it would really be that making people get infected or would really be that getting on the same sickness if they would really be exposed into it. Some people are really that too conscious when it comes health which it is really just that fine or something that you should really be prioritizing because health is wealth. Money would really be totally
that useless if you are really that ill or having that extreme sickness. One of the reasons on why people dont really go into those public places due to this kind of probability on getting sick.
It isnt realyl bad to have that kind of approach but since each person is really that having their own risks handling then there are ones who do go into those places and there are ones who dont like.
We do have our own choice and its no one others business on how you would really be handling yourself on such conditions or situations.

Gambling is always benefit for a lot of people that have different kind of illness and it help you except yourself from people or contact several disease independent shop because different kind of individuals will be available handshake different things and if you’re sick, go out for company in the shop to use the online gambling so much, online gambling is the best if you should think about it.

Well, if you know that you have a health problem and infectious, be responsible to stay at home. Even the guy is a discipline gamble, he still have to think that he has an illness that can put the health of many at risk.

Anyway, It's understandable to have such worries because you are just concern for your own health. That's the advantage of online casinos since you can still enjoy the games without the need to go outside. This is for gambling. But when it comes to other things, it is still necessary to explore outside (work, physical activities, catching up with friends etc) you still need to explore.

Yes it happens, when I'm actually sitting in a gambling hall a lot of people are addicted to drugs.  For example, if a person is facing a loss, the person continues to smoke cigarettes, and polluting the environment, some people around him are unapproachable. But those who gamble online can sit in their room and participate in online gambling, but never get addicted to bad drugs under family pressure. Online gambling is good in all aspects, if one faces loss in gambling then automatic online gambling stops. But those who gamble in reality are always at a loss but take loans from others and face great danger if they default on these loans later. So I think online gambling is the best in any aspect be it health and unique aspect too.

Good point. Without having to concentrate more on the chills that comes with gambling, having to endanger the health of others by going to a game house while your sick with a communicable disease such a Tuberculosis is not any good idea and instead of that being a health benefit, it’s actually a health challenging factor.  It’s an air borne disease and can also spread by contact with saliva or infected fluid from an infected individual. Given the fact that the gambling house is literally filled with people in most cases and your likely to meet a few familiars for as little as a handshake while gambling, it becomes a risk of enraging the health of other gamblers. That’s not a nice way to be in the industry. The welfare of others should be taken in to account.

Gambling van be fun but we need to understand some certain things about it so we don't end up gambling too recklessly I'm a way that we might not make something reasonable from gambling. There are some gambling behaviors we need to be conscious about so we don't end up making the wrong decision so we don't later regret it. The only health benefits of gambling is the profits we keep making as a gambler. We can always make money from gambling if we have a better strategy which is one of the useful reasons why many of us are gambling frequently.

Yes, moreover it is Tuberculosis disease, which can be spread through the air. And for anyone who is nearby and inhaling TB bacteria can also cause infection and spread it to other people. Although the probability may be quite small, but there is still any probability, and it is much better to avoid the probability. That's not only bad for his condition, but it will also be detrimental to the people around him. Even if he is very addicted to gambling, it should be natural for him to stop this activity at casinos in such conditions. Online gambling is the solution, whether he likes it or not, this is the best solution at the moment that he can do in this condition with TB disease for the good of himself and also the people around him.
Of course, this will be difficult for him, but this is much better to do at this moment. 

You made a clear and correct statement where you iterated that both disadvantages and advantages could be attributed to physical casinos, which is what I would like us to extend to online casinos as well. This further explains why we should take advantage of the pros in them whenever we feel like opting for them (our option) and not look towards the disadvantages side only. But the negative side of the physical casinos you mentioned here has no basis and peculiarity as it happens generally to all casinos. Whether it is online or offline, loss is so possible, and it is more possible than winnings, so it is not peculiar to the physical casinos. Also, if someone is sick and loses big in physical casinos, the same can also happen in online casinos, and if not managed well, it could truly worsen the health situation.

This is why we should not gamble with the money we can't afford to lose, otherwise, it will make us lose more than the money itself, and this could be the cause of worsening health, which may cause depression and other things like that. For me as well, I seldom visit physical casinos, and if at all I visit, I will just go for the large one which is not in close proximity to my house, which makes me visit it only on purpose. The main reason why I visit such a place is to mainly entertain myself with some gambling extras that can't be found whatsoever in small physical casinos and online. This is reasonable enough and the outcome of my gambling can't be an issue because I've already known the money I would spend there and how to spend it as well.

The fact that you, as a gambler, occasionally and relatively infrequently visit a physical casino, and even located far from your place of permanent residence, can be said to be the best option in general for the behavior of a reasonable player.  And in general, this is the behavior of a reasonable person who adheres to an active lifestyle.  I agree that the joy and fun of playing in such a casino is much greater than the usual and familiar online game on the Internet.

 If we think about health and the impact of gambling on a player’s health, then in my opinion it can be mostly negative, but in some cases it can also be positive.  I’m talking about the case when a person is sick with a disease that has nothing to do with gambling.  The game can seriously distract a sick person from thoughts about his illness for a while, and this is precisely the positive effect on the player.  Also, apparently the adrenaline in the blood that arises during the game seems to help a little in overcoming some diseases.  Even if it helps a little, after all, these are not pills or other medications, but still there will apparently be a positive effect on recovery. 
Also because the game is fun, it often inspires optimism.  Especially if you win.

Op, you might be right with what you are saying but if it was that easy i think most people would have contacted it since and beside there are people with strong immune system they hardly get affected by stuffs like that and if i may ask is that shop so small that he can infect everybody. Morever, i know that bet office are not always locked i mean the doors and windows are always open for air in and air out except those that have AC in their shop. Just like your neighbor said there are people who likes betting in shop whethere crowd or not and it is very hard for him to stop because he loves it and he knows the kind of fun he derived or get from the shop, though online betting can be very fun at times, you will lock your self inside turn on your AC or fan and if you have something  chewing while playing you take and make  your self comfortable, this one whether you lose or win no one will know unless you tell people.

What is the most important thing is your health  is much more important than whatever you can think of. I will advise you to restrict yourself from anything that help you if you’ve given instruction in the hospital on how to behave and we had to go to kind of place to spend time because of the police keep it impact because that is what help you Secure your life. If you are an addict yes you can just be at far and will explain it to you and explain to just be careful.

But it’s worth considering that all people are so different that not everyone follows the recommendations that doctors give you in the hospital or just at a doctor’s appointment.  Even often, people do not take medications and pills that are important for their health.  Although they know very well what needs to be accepted.  So the behavior of a person who has fallen ill with some kind of disease can be completely different.  And this fact should be taken into account. 

And in general, real life is much more varied than strictly following all the instructions of doctors, scientists and other advisers who think that they know how to act correctly.  But in reality, every person lives, as they say, with his own mind and does what is determined by his own thoughts.  Well, these thoughts very much depend on how smart a person is and how experienced he is in certain matters.

I'm guilty of the part of not following the doctor's orders, but that was just then, you know? people changed. There are even others who are stubborn and don't even want to go to check up or consult a doctor, what they do is search the internet for the symptoms they have and what the results are, that's what they will believe, most of the rest of us self-diagnosed and self-medicated, which should not be done, especially when taking drugs, you need a legit or valid prescription from the health care providers, because once you make a mistake in taking it, possible that your condition will only get worse instead of being cured.

Its like a flash back in time, because this post took me back to 2020 when covid hit the world like a brick wall and the whole world shut down. Of course sort of the opposite tho because if we were still in those times nobody could even visit a casino in person and their only choice would have been online gambling!

An interesting thread to stumble upon here, I certainly hope that the man fully enjoys what he is doing and living up his days to the fullest. If only your chances of winning at gambling increased due to the order of which your unfortunate circumstances lay would people who truly needed the money the most would win it all, I wish that was how gambling really worked.

Self-medication, after a person has diagnosed himself based on what he read on the Internet, is definitely absolutely evil.  And this is very often an erroneous diagnosis.  And accordingly, erroneous treatment.
 If we talk about the diagnosis of “gambling addiction,” then people around the player often begin to suspect it, seeing how often and persistently the player strives to play.  And they even become sure that the player is sick.  But in reality, only a practicing psychiatrist can confirm such a diagnosis.  Since only a psychiatrist has reliable indicators that a player has such a disease.  Although in everyday terms, many of the player’s relatives attribute this disease to him, and sometimes unfairly.

Yes, our health is the most important. If we healthy, we can do many things, including playing gambling and enjoy our time playing some gambling games. But we must always limits ourselves playing gambling because we must stay away from the addiction that can comes anytime without we realizes. It's difficult to cure our addiction because that will needs many things besides of will to cure ourselves from addiction. Many people already gets addicted but we can prevents it happens to us by always be careful when playing gambling. We must always control ourselves and not playing gambling excessively to avoids the big lose and addiction. Those who playing gambling can limits themselves in gambling but they lose control after playing gambling for some time. So we must takes care of ourselves and not use much money to stay away from the big lose.

On the other hand online gambling stints you  in physical activity which is beneficial for health of both body and mental.

Being inside big gambling shops you may wander around looking for the game to try next or throw your  bones somewhere  near the nearest blackjack table and relax. All these is up to you. Besides, physical  gambling shop is wonderful place  to   have a breezy conversations with your friends which is also provide positive effect on health. Thus  one can't fully deny these pros of gambling shops.
