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

[traderethereum]

One thing I have learnt over the course of time . . is - that you are your only true friend.
And that your mental health is important and your health too.
So try to avoid trouble as much as you could.

If you feel you can't keep yourself from gambling, it's best to leave gambling for good because it's not good for you.
You can use many ways to fill your spare time by not playing gambling if gambling will bring badness to you.
But unfortunately, many people do not understand and instead continue playing gambling because they think gambling does not require control.
Gambling with control will protect you from the risk of loss, therefore, take care of yourself before things turn bad.

• 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.

There is truth in what you mentioned mate, almost most of the people who have a lot of money or rich people don't care if they lose a lot in a game whether it is landbase or online gambling. while the majority of gamblers seek and struggle or participate to get a gambling jackpot. Sometimes others even lead to bad things because they become a vice without realizing it, they no longer control themselves because of being greedy for money to get from a gambling that their actions are out of control.

If you feel you can't keep yourself from gambling, it's best to leave gambling for good because it's not good for you.
You can use many ways to fill your spare time by not playing gambling if gambling will bring badness to you.
But unfortunately, many people do not understand and instead continue playing gambling because they think gambling does not require control.
Gambling with control will protect you from the risk of loss, therefore, take care of yourself before things turn bad.

Sometimes, when a gambler is addicted to a gamble, he doesn't know what is called self-control anymore, because he doesn't think about anything else but to win the gamble and get a big profit from it and that's not on his mind anymore. he is the one who loses, so most of those gamblers lose a lot of money and others even lead to the destruction of their families and the sale of their properties and the destruction of their lives.

he may be very easy to get money in my opinion it is not an important problem because the money he gets is very easy and by gambling he is just looking for entertainment and does not intend to make his assets go up because if you gamble with the hope of increasing the value of assets then it is a big mistake because in a gambling place no one can guarantee that he can double his assets in an instant, use gambling to play not to make money and if it is difficult to make money then you have to work so that it is easy to get money.

Anything excess is always harmful.  Even with the limitless bankroll, if we don't moderate our gambling activity even if it is for entertainment, we might find ourselves having health problems since if we gamble excessively every day, we deprived ourselves of proper sleep, physical exercise, and relaxation for emotional balance, not saying we might forget to eat balanced foods too since we are too hooked-up in gambling.  It isn't just a financial problem that we may encounter but actually, every aspect of our daily lives might be affected if we don't moderate our gambling activities.

[lienfaye]

It isn't just a financial problem that we may encounter but actually, every aspect of our daily lives might be affected if we don't moderate our gambling activities.

Thats why we must limit ourselves. If you know that you might end up becoming addicted due to lack of discipline then dont even try to gamble. It has a pros (like what op have said) that can be benefical for gamblers who are playing in moderation but lets admit, thats not always the case for many gamblers especially to those who cant accept the losses.

So youre right, gambling affects the every aspect of our lives and it depends on us how we will let gambling influence us, is it for the better by playing in moderation, or for worse for not limiting ourselves.

I think gambling is sort of simulation in life where you play and directly win at financial means. So it has escapist mechanism in itself. Because of this I believe, gambling can be very fun to go away from stressful things in life. I don't count financial benefits even. But gamblers should be respectful to their family while escaping from bad sides of life. It can be damaging to totally escape life.

Yeah, totally escaping life is never a good thing, especially if you want to do it frequently and for a long period of time. Maybe you should reconsider your way of living instead of trying to escape it through gambling, alcohol, drugs or whatever. In fact, I think gambling shouldn't be in one list along with drugs and alcohol even. Gambling, if done in moderation, can be a healthier way for you to relax.

I don't see any respect for the family when you tend to go to gambling to escape the stressful reality rather than spending your time for your family. Well, there's an exception to that If you're not frequently doing it, but as you label a person a "gambler", first thing that comes out to your mind would be, this person gambles regularly.
Another exception would be, when you're working from home and you have enough time for your family, so I can say you're perfect fine to gamble regularly as long as you will not exceed financially.

Its easier said than done you cannot do that unless there's an intervention coming from an outside source like your relatives and professional help, the interference includes curing and replacing the urge to gamble without this you cannot stop the gambling if you are a compulsive gambler, I have seen people promising themselves and their family that they will stop gambling but they end doing it in secret because they cannot keep up.

Many respectable people put gambling, alcoholism and drug addiction on the same level because all of these activities negatively affect the human psyche in the acute phase. If you drink a glass of wine on Fridays or play poker, it does not mean that it will negatively affect your health. But you should always remember that any hobby that can grow into a habit must be controlled.

Even on intervention it wont really assure that it could really make you stop midway.For sure you would really be having in mind on how the hell they would care? Its your money then its your right to play.
Everything should be in moderation not only on gambling but also in other things as well because everything thats excessive will really be giving a big problem.
It would be mainly affecting finances and health if you dont really make yourself to have good control or discipline thats why you should be mindful on making decisions.

It's pretty much the same thing. That's how addiction is formed, you do something, get the dopamine effect, you feel good at the moment, and then in the long term you have negative consequences.

It doesn't matter if the thing is tobacco, alcohol, chocolate, or gambling. You feel good in the moment, and you continue doing it because of it.

Short term mindset vs long term mindset.

The people with long term mindset tend to be healthier and wealthier than the ones with short term mindset.

Everything in gambling places can indeed provide additional money but it can't always be like that because in gambling places all possibilities can happen and there is no guarantee to always get a win, because sometimes you can get a loss until the money you have runs out or goes bankrupt, so it's better to stay Be careful when you want to gamble and don't be too influenced or have to be able to control yourself.

I worry that he will continue to gamble until he doesn't realize that he has become a gambler addicted to gambling.
It's very dangerous. After all, he won't think about anything else because he just wants to keep playing without stopping.
Yes, in the end, he will lose because he continues to play without stopping and it is only a matter of time for him to realize that what he did was a mistake.

he may be very easy to get money in my opinion it is not an important problem because the money he gets is very easy and by gambling he is just looking for entertainment and does not intend to make his assets go up because if you gamble with the hope of increasing the value of assets then it is a big mistake because in a gambling place no one can guarantee that he can double his assets in an instant, use gambling to play not to make money and if it is difficult to make money then you have to work so that it is easy to get money.

If I were him and could earn money very easily, I would think twice if I wanted to gamble and try to avoid gambling.
And if I want to find entertainment, I will look for other ways that can give me pleasure.
It would be even better if he could buy more potential coins, which had a chance to improve later on instead of using the money to gamble.

Its easier said than done you cannot do that unless there's an intervention coming from an outside source like your relatives and professional help, the interference includes curing and replacing the urge to gamble without this you cannot stop the gambling if you are a compulsive gambler, I have seen people promising themselves and their family that they will stop gambling but they end doing it in secret because they cannot keep up.

Yes, that's true but not necessarily if we become like that if we experience it ourselves.
It is a difficult thing to cure gambling cravings and it takes a lot more effort to be able to say no to ourselves.
More temptations will come to us if we can't avoid gambling and that's why we should always try to avoid gambling if we don't want to get a lot of losses.

I think everything in a gambling place has the potential to be negative and it all depends on the user being able to control himself or not, if you gamble until you get addicted and do all kinds of ways to get money to gamble then it must be rehabilitated at least the family limits it access to gambling venues first and substitute for other positive activities. Gambling is only used for people who have unlimited wealth and it is easy to get money because gambling is actually a place to find fun.

everything in a gambling place is potentially negative. referring to what you said, I think all things if connoted negative the result will be negative regardless of the subject. but what you say is true, it all depends on the user himself.

However, I think gambling is not only for people who have unlimited wealth, back to this topic, if someone gambles with a limited amount, there are many benefits that he can get.
Well, I think gambling can be done for anyone who likes this activity, with a note not having ambitions to make income or just entertainment, playing with self-control, limiting when it's at the maximum limit.

Everything should have limitation and wont really be exceeding because you do know on what are the effects on things that would really be affected whenever you do decide on doing excessively specially on gambling.
Moderation not only on gambling but also in other activities as well.Everything should be balanced and on proper way so that you wont really be experiencing problems whether on your health or finances.
Pros is not really that much aside from entertainment and the rest would be in con's but depending on what kind of approach you do have towards gambling.

I guess that is human nature, I agree that gambling is not the way, but for the majority, specially if you have the means and access whether online or offline, this people will go and gamble to get out of their stressful like, maybe physical or emotional stress.

And as the majority said, everything should be in moderation, and as an individual, you should be the one controlling everything. Not your addiction to gambling and any vices because in the end you are the loser here.

Yeah, gambling, like any other addictive activity, should be enjoyed in moderation.

If someone cannot control themselves gambling, then it's probably a good idea to not gamble at all.

It's a good thing that underage people are not allowed inside a casino, because their minds are still developing, and they can easily get addicted.

Short term mindset vs long term mindset.

The people with long term mindset tend to be healthier and wealthier than the ones with short term mindset.

In general, I agree with you and am not going to defend those who "burn through" their lives. I just want to note that sometimes there is such a paradox: the one who has a short-term mindset gets what he wants at certain moments, and the one who has a long-term mindset often does not receive anything at certain moments, since their achievements are "smeared" in time.

[Silberman]

It is really the most horrible because it will really take almost everything from you.  Financial stress often leads to depression and the only way to remove this depression is to have a regular income that can pay both our daily needs and debt.  It is worst for people who are hooked or addicted to gambling because they can be trapped in a loop wherein they keep circling in taking loans, work, and paying loans just to sustain their gambling addiction.

And this is not only a problem with gambling addiction, to be honest I do not know how people deal with being in debt for the most part of their lives as I know that I would not be able to sleep properly if I owed a great deal of money to the banks and I knew that I will need to work for decades to settle that debt, it is because of this I have remained debt free almost all my life and it is one of the main reason why I can be relaxed all the time as I know that even if I were to lose my job I have the resources to deal with it for a long time.

At least in the US it seems that it's pretty common to have debt.

Here's what type of debt people have in the US:

Which is exactly why I wonder how people can do it? I can understand that being in debt for the right reasons and for a low interest rate makes sense, especially in a scenario with inflation being this high, but even then it is something I cannot do, this has without a doubt limited me in some ways, but when I think of the huge crisis that is coming and how I will be able to resist it without going through that much of a problem I still give thanks for being able to avoid being indebted for so long.
