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.

Whatever the main reason might be for your gambling, every time you place a wager, there is a chance you end up winning big.
Certain games such as video slots are capable of producing wins that are worth several hundred or even several thousand times your bet.
Albeit rare, when this happens, you’ll get to feel like a big winner. But it’s not just about emotions.

If you’re gambling in moderation and only spend a certain amount of money each week or each month, if you are lucky enough to hit that big win, it will provide you with a small fortune that you can put towards a specific goal.

For example, you could go on a nice vacation or spend it on something you’ve always wanted to buy but never had enough cash handy. It is essential that you put your gambling winnings towards something that you actually want, and not put them all back into the casino or poker software. The thrill of a big win can be quite overwhelming and make you feel invincible. However, the nature of gambling is such that you will eventually lose the money back. There is absolutely no reason to increase your stakes or your gambling budget just because you had won. Use the money for something non-gambling related and stick to your usual playing style.

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?

Everyone has negative connotations when it comes to gambling activity but little that we know that gambling when done in moderation can offer great benefits to our mental and physical health and finance.

Everything that is of excess is harmful what more on something where you're putting money and had a chance to double or triple it, gamblers should strive to moderate their gambling activity and the money they're pouring, but gamblers after many sessions go for higher dopamine they want to more of the excitement, they want more of the challenge to win and this is where addiction came in and this is where we lose control we want to reach our dopamine level.

Dopamine is known as the “feel-good” hormone. It gives you a sense of pleasure. It also gives you the motivation to do something when you're feeling pleasure. Dopamine is part of your reward system.

This is where i do see where most people do really focus on on which the pros would be seeing on this spot where someone could potentially earn huge amount of money specially on hitting
big multipliers or jackpots which you could actually say that majority of us gamblers do see this as a pro but we know that having that intent on a severe manner could really be ending up
on someone on ending up on being addicted thats why it would really act out as a double blade if you dont really make yourself in good control then you would really fall into the pit of addiction.
Majority of those things above are indeed the pro sides but if things turns out to be excessive then it would be eventually goes to the negative side of things.
So lets just be wary and careful on our actions is the key on making yourself safe.

This is an interesting article- most of the time we associate and perceive gambling addiction as something negative. But with the article you posted, there are at least, some positive effects of gambling when done in moderation. I guess, we often times overlook the things that give us positive effects when done in moderation.

Though I am curious- is gambling done in moderation considered also an addiction? I mean, if something is done consistently, will that tantamount and equate to addiction? I just hope that the fact that gambling in moderation can bring positive results, this does not rationalize and advocate gambling in general.

This is why most experts advise doing things in moderation.  Anything that is excessive is harmful both to our health and finance.  Gamblers often ignore this kind of advice since they are too hooked on getting huge multipliers.  We all know being greedy do not give a good result.  We will end up either losing more or worst than that.  That is why we should strictly implement gambling moderation.  Let the big win take its course while we are playing in our perfectly planned responsible gambling engagement.

• Makes you Happier - When you win.
• Stress Reduction - increase the stress when lost. Very few consider it for fun/entertainment.
• Relaxation and Comfort - Recalls the loss and always think of the way to recover.
• Improves your Skills - I don't know in what way it is improving one's skills, because all we learn is strategies to win. Apart from that we do collection of information.
• Helps with Socialization - More gamblers have turned friends through online and offline gambling platforms which is true.
• Potential for big wins - You need to be extremely lucky or in the process of being lucky what you get out of the luck will be lower than what you have spend to achieve it.

Don't think that I've made things with a negative perspective. This is the reality that happens with the normal gambler. What is being mentioned through the article is all about the gamblers who have a big bag of money and never mind of win/loss.

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

I fully agree.
Gambling, as well as any type of entertainment, is very beneficial for anyone's health.
The problem is that gambling is highly addictive and most people who indulge in it cannot control themselves.
Then, what was supposed to be something pleasurable, fun and healthy ends up becoming a big problem.

Gambling needs to be seen only as casual, moderate entertainment, not a way to get rich or be played constantly.

[Rengga Jati]

As we know, someone who will be happy in gambling is not those who consider gambling only as for fun. ut in my opinion is someone who can really manage and control their eagerness, emotion, money, risks, and also activities in gambling. So, they may not be too happy when winning, and not too sad when losing.
if we have good on those things at least, we can control our emotions not to feel depression every time we are losing or not winning. But, this doesn't mean that we only control the emotion, but we must also analyze and learn why we are losing, there should be any evaluation and expect to have winning later.
SOmeone who are often losing in gambling commonly will easily get stressed and depression, moreover if they are not using free money for gambling, itis a big mistake and disaster for him and also for family probabily.
The influence as you said not only in our financial problems but also on ourhealt both physical and also mentally, moroever this will also infleunce our social problems in daily life

Anything excess is harmful so players should really gamble in moderation to avoid any huge damage taken from what decisions they do and gambling is made for entertainment, so people should not defeat the purpose on why this type of games created since if they exceed on their expectation and want for more especially on earning a huge money for sure they will never go anywhere and will just put on risky situation.

^ Everything that OP said was right but if we don't have self-control and everything turns into too much usage or it becomes an addiction.
The last one could be a risky one, (Potential for Big Wins) that is why many gamblers are addicted to gambling because of chasing this and hoping that one day, they will become an instant millionaire on gambling. Everything said was right but people should limit themselves to the possible consequences come.
However, thank you OP for this thread and it will motivate someone to gamble we hope everyone just gambles for fun not for chasing money.

I don't mind this stuff honestly. I just gambling on my own.

If you are responsible enough to play wisely, there should be no problem.

Just play relaxed and be comfortable so that we are not stressed. Gambling in moderation is good but it doesn't mean we should always keep it that way. Look at those professional gamblers, gambling almost every day but they are still disciplined and responsible gamblers in the end.

In short, it is on the gambler how he will handle himself in gambling.
As long as you know the limits, you can appreciate this activity.
However, if you are playing beyond your financial capability, that's when you will start getting problems.

[Zlantann]

Gambling can make one happy, reduce stress and help one relax only when the gambler is that game for entertainment. If someone is gambling for profit and is loosing, it would increase stress, cause discomfort and lead to sadness. Most gamblers in my area gamble to survive because the economic situation in my country is driving them into gambling. You can only see them smile or relaxed when they win. Gambling came improve coordination, creative thinking and other profitable skills. The gaming space is an agent of socialization where you meet different kind of people and also imbibe several norms and beliefs. But one must be careful to choose the right company and behaviors. Big wins comes once in many years, hence we would keep trying until mother luck shines on us.

The issue with gambling is those with an addictive personality may decide to lose everything they have worked for in life and become severely depressed and end their existence. This is obviously a con.

 I personally like gambling and it makes sporting events more enjoyable for me to have a little wager on them. So in a sense, gambling does make me a little happier on the nights I have a wager going. This for me would be a pro.

[Darker45]

Well, this could all be true. But this study's findings are not mutually exclusive. By finding out, for example, that gambling could actually make a person happy, it doesn't mean that it can't also make a person sad.

In which case, gambling can make you happy but it could also make you depressed. It could reduce your stress but it could also provide you sleepless nights. It could either make you comfortable or uncomfortable. It could make you relaxed but it could also make you worried. It could give you money but it could also take a lot from your savings.

[Kemarit]

It is me or it just they spin it around to look like gambling has a lot of benefits?

Sure, you can be happy when playing, I experienced that, but what happened next? specially after a big lost? So I guess it's very different from each individual, but I would tend to agree that winning is a big part why we continue to gamble. And I also don't think that gamblers think much of the government and the taxes and where it is going. We all just want to play try our luck and win, simply as that.

[adzino]

Everything starts with "moderation" and ends up being excess.

Makes you Happier - this is no doubt a known effect of gambling and is backed by studies.  It was said that the happiness of individuals rose when they are engaged in gambling activities.

Won't be happy if they keep losing even if they are playing moderately. And if they keep on winning, sure they will be happy and then will go seeking "more" happiness through gambling that will end up being a disaster.

Stress reduction - stress factor is one of the major reason why many people become depressed and possible mental degradation and retardation.  Gambling as an entertainment help to minimize this stress.  Gambling in moderation is also known for its stress-relieving effect.

Worst way to relief stress. Imagine you are on a winning streak and you have a feeling that you are going to lose the next bet. That would be very stressful. Place a huge bet and be anxious the rest of the time.
Don't even need to discuss about the rest of the point. There are several places were people can find comfort. Again, there are other places where people can socialize. To be honest, I have seen people being more busy in gambling than socializing with people (true in most cases when it comes to online gambling).

[Wexnident]

Everyone has negative connotations when it comes to gambling activity but little that we know that gambling when done in moderation can offer great benefits to our mental and physical health and finance.

This mostly happens due to people generalizing that anything in relation to the activity "gambling" is negative. It's like how the media portrays only one side of the story sometimes, and people would immediately believe it and never really bother trying to understand it deeply. Gambling isn't wrong, being addicted to it is. And in fact, any type of addiction is bad and would pretty much experience the same thing as what you would if you were under gambling addiction, if not worse. Moderation is something that should be practiced in pretty much everything.

[ethereumhunter]

People can get all those benefits ONLY if they can gamble in moderation. But unfortunately, not many of them can do this. Many of them will drag into gambling deeper. Gambling games can tempt them to use more money and although we already set our limitations, we can break by ourselves when we want more fun. Gambling can cause financial and health problems in the future if we do not realize what we do in gambling. That situation becomes worst if we get addicted to gambling as we will spend more and more money.
