Gambling in Moderation, Pros can out weigh its Cons in Financial and Health?

[Reid]

Great share, I love it. Thank you. I always think of gambling that way after I had bad losses in the past. Mostly from dice.
When I felt that I was not having fun anymore, I stopped it. It became a habitual thing, not entertainment.
I think we all have to deal on some point about what is happening, gambling should be fun not adding more stress in our everyday routine.
Now, I love sports betting because it honestly hypes me up whenever I watch the game live with my bet being on the line.
I can say, I am now relieved with the stress and regrets that I experienced before.

The ancient Stoic philosophers wrote a lot about this in their time.  The most famous Stoic philosopher was the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.  

Stoicism is an ancient philosophical doctrine that promotes moderation in everything to achieve psychological and physiological balance.  In modern science, this balance is called homeostasis.  The Stoics taught that too strong emotions should be avoided, because they put a person out of psychological balance.  

Stoicism applies to gambling as well.  Don't try to win too much.  You also need to try not to lose too much.  The player needs constant control over their own emotions.

Seneca could be one of the most famous Stoics of his time as well (what's up with romans and stoic ideas? lol) and he had similar sayings about this as well. If you do not achieve that balance then you are going to be chasing one too much and end up with going too imbalanced and would result with something wrong.

The best thing in life is the moderation, if you do not live your life on that balance then you are going to lose your balance and fall. Gambling is the same, if you do not gamble at all then it's fine, if you gamble with just free faucet stuff then you will not find it enough, and if you gamble millions then you will be upset when you lose, so find that right balance.

Moderation is the key to appreciate the goodness of everything.
Because if you abuse one thing, that's when you will start having problems.
As mentioned by the OP, I can agree with those positive impact of gambling to people.
That is, if you know how to control yourself in front of the gambling table and know your limits.

I recently read a science fiction novel by the author Hamilton. 

It described a scientific invention of the distant future, which provided people with the achievement of homeostasis (physiological and psychological balance).  It was a combination of special medical sensors (which recorded the smallest changes in the human body) and a first aid kit implanted in the human body. 

At the slightest deviation from the norm, the drugs automatically entered the human blood and returned him to a normal psychological and physiological state.  This was how the balance was ensured...

Undoubtedly, such devices would be very useful for gamblers in online casinos!

It does hype you up most especially when the game are close and neither of the team may win. But it would be a different story when you bet on a team that's been down by a huge margin. That's actually very frustrating to watch. Your favourite team will have to lose with a big lead from the opposing team while your bet is on the line.
I've had it a handful of times and  i turned off the TV and went outside to vent out my frustrations lol.

I will have to disagree with almost everything on these points:

 - Makes you Happier: It will only make the person happy if that person wins the game, something that doesn't happen every day, which means that the person spends more time sad regretting losses than happy

Then the person gambles money that he can't afford to lose.

- Stress reduction:   definitely not, people spend more time stressed, the fact that they are losing money on gambling makes them stressed

Same thing, the person uses money that is possibly committed to elsewhere thus, it gives him stress when wagering or betting, hoping not to lose the money.

That's right. You wouldn't be stressed that much if you lost the amount you could spend on something like cake or coffee. In fact, it could make you healthier, if you didn't buy those later. But if you lose money intended for baby carriage, that's a big problem.

Gambling in moderation is possible. It's not only possible, it's what most gamblers are doing. It is wrong to take a real minority, summat around 5%, who tend to be addicted, and say that all gamblers are like that.

So it's something like forcefully making the state of mind of a person return back to normal? It's helpful but also kinda scary really since we'd then be able to pretty much force the body to produce the emotions that we want. I mean Pheromone exists but that's a different thing than this which is a simple stick that could control the state of a human being.

A simple mindset to have is to think of the money you spend to pay being like an entrance fee of sorts. Imagine computer rentals and stuff like that, you pay to play kind of thing (though the game being something simple like dice kind of kills the idea ngl).

TO me the financial instability and loss is a serious mental stress.
This destroys my health and make me sick too - I am not sure about other people but I have so much health issues when I am dealing with financial instability.

[Doell]

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

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

I remember something interesting in the past personally, gambling is a medicine for our expenses when we are doing refreshing, you're right the picnic will cost us money but it also puts our mind at ease and I was lucky to get profit the refund maybe almost 3.2x  during the picnic. Doing activities in nature is not bad, it is very good for your mind.

Moderating gambling is more appropriate maybe making rules for yourself, the money involved in gambling must be carefully calculated and only play gambling on certain days, well agree with that the pro players have even already do it but the problem it is not easy.

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

If I consider those who are involved in gambling, all factors cannot be separated from the individual himself in Moderation, my considerations in the article some of my studies agree but some don't.

Something interesting here that I read:
first.

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

And the second:

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

I've seen many studies that say as above and I myself admit and have experienced it, Skill and victory, indeed from some experience in gambling says so.

Conclusion: gambling is risky, for me health, profit, stress, happiness, social all of that cannot be separated from the way the individual thinks, the way they engage in gambling.

This is the most interesting part. I think many people in their lives have met people who criticize gambling (or other "bad") spending, but at the same time have an expensive hobby that eats up a lot more time/money. Moreover, if you point it out to them, they get angry and say that "this is different" and cannot be compared 
In general, everything is obvious: any activity that brings pleasure is good if you do it within reasonable limits and do not become a fanatic/addict.

What could always be missing is enjoying the game.
Before it was easy because you get to interact with different people in a small casino. Now, it's not that easy anymore. You will need to join a group in discord or telegram but its still different when you talk to people physically.
Now, I have a hard time enjoying every table game unlike before when I rest for a long time after standing up at a poker table because I just like the discussions with other players.
Being alone in a room can be stressful and the fun given by gambling is short-lived.

Any disease is a way out of the equilibrium state.  

Diseases are treated with chemicals (drugs) and surgery.  

However, the problem is that diseases are diagnosed very late, when the deviation from the initial equilibrium state is already very large.  This is due to the fact that at present modern medicine and psychiatry conduct medical examinations of the human body only periodically (once a year, and sometimes much less frequently).  But there is another approach - to conduct medical examinations of the human body constantly (in real time).  

And if a problem is detected, immediately and automatically carry out treatment by introducing appropriate chemicals into the human blood.  

This will prevent the disease at an early stage. In particular, this will completely get rid of gambling addiction.  

Painful arousal will be diagnosed at a very early stage and the player will be injected with appropriate sedatives into the bloodstream.

I can say that it was a very good strategy that you could stop when you were no longer having fun, not only do you save yourself from losing money, but also from falling into one of the possible things that some people fall into, and that is addiction, however I I understood in a long time but I apply that same power when I play slots, I just do it for fun.

Regarding what you say about sports betting, you are right, for me betting on sports the chances of winning are much stronger than winning in a casino game, unless you are in a PVP poker tournament, it is what I most I like it and I also know that the chances of winning increase, of course this is what I think and according to my little experience.

[agustina2]

Aside from that, sports betting is not just gambling but entertaining us well especially if we are familiar with the sports and to league itself.

The gambling part is a bonus for me since the sports I always bet on are the sports that I really liked since my childhood. Now that I can afford to do gambling, I step and advance a bit to take advantage of my favorite sports which might bring good profit to me.

But of course, gambling is gambling regardless if it's casino games or sports betting. Don't engage if anyone doesn't understand the risks.

When you know that particular game is over then majority of us do really have or ending with the same behavior where we do usually walk out away neither taking up some cigarrete or would be distracting ourselves on doing something that will really diverged out our anger and frustration on the said bet.Yes, even though we do bet for fun and thrill but cant really be avoided on things that would really makes
your frustrated or getting annoyed with it which is something cant really be avoided but its not something enough for us to stop completely. Play in moderation and play fun
and as long you do have control into your finances then you wont creating any problems.

I fully agree, that is why any activities in moderation will always save us money.  Imagine if we go out every day to party up with people and moderate it making us join the event twice a week will save us 5 days of spending money on that party.  The same goes for gambling.  If we moderate our time playing, not only do we save money but we have more time to do different stuff that will greatly help us to keep a tab of ourselves from gambling addiction

It is always better to assess your activities especially when it comes to spending out your money.
If you think about it, gambling is more on losing money rather than gaining money.
So you do need to think if you can afford this kind of lifestyle or just allot the money to other worthwhile activities.
If you know your limitations, you can possibly enjoy gambling. However, if you go deep, that's when trouble starts.

We do have different situations and status when it comes to financial aspect which means that spending and earning  income would be totally different to each other.
Some do earns big which they could able to sustain their other activities specially on leisure without affecting that much since they do know that they could earn
still big not like into those average earners which their income is really just good for their daily living.It would really be that dumb and no sense if you do still gamble
hard despite of the condition or financial status you do have. Try to balance everything and dont go beyond with your means and leisure times because this would really
be putting you into big trouble if you do tolerate it.

The result of gambling will really influence to our mental and also physic. I am sure that everybody has different conditions when they win or lose from gabmling. Some people may be so frustrated when losing from gambling, difficult to sleep and eat, and being sick because of the loss. On the other hand, some gamblers may be too easy to eat and sleep whenever he is frustrated because of loss in gamlng.
So that when they are winning gambling some people may be too happy without considering the next result rpobability. But some are able to cotnorl teir emotion when winning, by still amnaging the feels during gambling.

As long as people understand that they should gamble for fun and not for profits then gambling can be really affordable especially if they bet with cryptocurrencies, after all the minimum bet on a physical casino is very high and not many people will be able to afford it, but in the market of cryptocurrencies the minimum bet is so low that as long as you only gamble occasionally the amount of money spent will still be on the low side.

If they don't think too much about how to make money from gambling and can accept whatever the result is after they gamble, they will not experience what you say. It will depend on how we treat gambling and we should consider and use gambling as one form of entertainment with more risks than others. Retaining emotions is a factor every gambler should have if they do not want to lose more money. By being able to contain their emotions, if they get a win from gambling, their reaction will also not be excessive and they can enjoy their victory.
