Health Benefits of Gambling

[danherbias07]

If you try to find out the advantages and disadvantages of gambling, you will find some advantages of gambling, but I think the disadvantages of gambling will be more. The downsides of gambling outweigh the upsides. You might say that one of the good things about gambling is that the person who gambles can take risks in any activity, gambling increases one's courage but it is possible to do these things outside of gambling. I became addicted to gambling so I can tell how bad gambling affects a gambler. If you can gamble without being addicted to gambling then you are welcome to gambling site because if you can gamble without being addicted to gambling then you can surely make good from gambling site. But it's hard not to become addicted to gambling by gambling.

Yeah, that's right. I guess the downside starts with stress and then it creates more sickness to our body.
I do love the emotion swings though and I think that's one of the upsides of gambling. You get happy when winning and then angry when losing while blaming the gambling site for how rigged their games are.
I mean, that's healthy. It means you are normal because you have different emotions that come out and it somehow boosts your blood circulation too. If that won't happen then it means we are not normal.
Lately, I have been losing a lot of my bets in casino games but just hours ago I felt like I was loved again. Multiwins coming for like every 50 bets and I double my capital in just 2-3 hours. I felt real joy when that happened so I stopped and just savored all the profits that I made. I need that because it's a rare thing to happen for me ever since I reached the VIP rank. Now, I cannot decide if I should go back this day or call it a day and maybe do it again tomorrow. Having a plan is a healthy thing too.

Hey @OP ,You have considered only the positive aspects of gambling but you should also have pointed out some of the negative aspects of gambling.
Nervous stress is an important aspect within the negative aspects of gambling, moreover, if one loses a large amount of money in gambling, there is a possibility of mental breakdown and also the risk of having a stroke.
Gambling also has a long history of many people falling into poverty after gambling. Then there is a possibility of mental instability in him and later involvement in various criminal activities.

While emotions are part of life, gambling stress may have deeper, less evident health effects. Stress can cause long-term health problems, and your temporary blood circulation boost? It's more like a fight or flight physiological stress response, which can strain the body over time.

Doesn't the rarity of such wins show gambling's risks? Your planning and self-control are great, but gambling's volatility and house always wins character remain. Could these wins' transience be a warning to be cautious? It's up to you whether to play again, but may you consider the long-term repercussions of this emotional and financial rollercoaster on your health? It seems wise to balance gambling's pleasures with its risks.

One of the famous casino streamers, who was in huge debts, said that having previously lost $300 for the first time, he was in severe depression for a whole month. Now, having lost 10k$-15k$, he won't experience any emotions, because this loss has happened to him several times and even larger amounts than this. I have seen several such people with extensive experience as gambling addicts. I got the opinion that they have neither joy nor sadness, they probably had too much dopamine and adrenaline throughout their lives, and their emotions were completely burned out.

When I was young and took my first steps in gambling, I broke 1 mouse, but the monitor remained intact. Now it’s very funny for me to remember this, I will never do this again.

I don't get the point of this photo; it's not bad to admit that gambling doesn't have actual advantages that can counteract any possible repercussions that may occur. It's a pleasant way to entertain yourself and test your luck. On the plus side, if luck is on your side, you may end up with a decent sum of money, but by being a responsible gambler, you accept the condition that this won't always happen, and ultimately, there's a fair chance you'll eventually lose. There's no point in trying too hard to prove that it's beneficial. It's an entertaining and fun activity, as it boosts your mood due to the dopamine rush, especially if you win, but that's all. I'm never going to claim that I gamble because it has the X benefits, I do it occasionally because it's pleasant and full of surprises.

As for the advantages, this only applies to professional players, of whom there are very, very few. They should use anything that increases their EV. Starting from hunting for weak poker players to receiving increased cashback due to a partnership with a poker room when playing a large number of hands. You and I, as ordinary players, don’t need to know about this at all, because we play for fun. I only dipped my toe into this one time for personal research. Ultimately, just like you, I prefer to play at an amateur level and relax, and also get the excitement from the unpredictability of situations in the game from time to time and jump for joy if I win at least something valuable.

It helps release stress but could also be a source of stress. Better to approach it with care and see how it affects our thoughts and emotions.
Also going little by little will be better than trying to win big and risking to lose it all.

Stick to the plan.

Another benefit is it can help you to improve decision making and practice discipline

Well, that's true and correct, all the impacts of gambling will always depend on how you do it. Like when you drive  a car, if you step on the brake pedal on a downhill road then you will still be fine, but on the other hand, if you don't step on or use the brakes on your car when going down a downhill road and even step on the gas pedal then the car is clear. it will not be controlled and what will happen will be your accident. It's the same as in gambling, when you can't control the activity well then it's clear that a downturn will happen to you as a result of carelessness or even deliberate action.

Well, your car analogy is incomplete, there are those who while on a downhill, still step on the gas even harder than ever, which adds way more extra speed to the car, and they are still fine with being able to perfectly navigate and control the car perfectly well. Atleast, I know this because I am a driver myself.

Accident can only occur of the driver is not well experienced and does not know limit of speed he or she can control when it comes to speeding.
We could liken this to a gambler just as you did, gamblers are different levels, some are well experienced enough that they are able to safely navigate through all the gambling huddle safely, and still come out OK, while the inexperienced who try doing the same may end up in one problem or the other.

I'm just saying overall in comparing something that if you don't control it well then you will get into trouble because you didn't do what you should have done. You said that there are also people who step on the accelerator before entering a downhill road, I would ask what is their reason for doing so? even though they can still control the car in that condition but doesn't their behavior make the chance of an accident more likely? if there are other better options such as driving normally and not doing things that can make an accident possible then why choose something else? I can find indications that would make something bad more likely to happen from the statement you said.

Yes it is true, if we measure in terms of experience it is true as you say that ignorance due to lack of experience can make them end up with something that is not wanted, it can encourage accidents to be more likely to occur, but on the other hand I disagree if you say that "accidents will only happen if the person has no experience in driving", because fate is also involved in this matter, it is not uncommon for experienced people to have accidents. But forget it, because after all they still have the opportunity to be able to learn from experienced gamblers to have a little knowledge for prevention.

Its fun to win, but its usually frustrating to lose. But blaming "normalcy" in emotional display for this oversimplifies how gambling and psychology work together. While your recent winning run is exciting, you should be careful. Why? Its because gambling is a game of chances, not feelings. Because wins are short-lived, especially in VIP ranks, they point to a trend that is hard to predict. Unpredictability isnt just fun; its also a psychological trick that draws you back with the promise of more success. Should you risk today? Self-control and figuring out the risks are at play here. Keep in mind that planning is good, but only if its based on realistic goals and knowledge of oneself. It is important to be aware of how addictive gambling can be and the need for moderation. Excessive joy, on the other hand, often leads to sorrow.

I can argue that smoking has its own good effects, and so does marijuana and everything else you can add.

If you feel like want to gamble and you have the financial stability to lose money then gamble that is what we should insist on when someone says they want to gamble but saying it can improve the mood or what not is kind of deceiving, to be honest.

The majority of us aren't anywhere close to professional players. I believe that the largest group is simply enjoying playing some games to try our luck, risking relatively small amounts of money; at least that's what I personally do. Gambling is nothing more than an entertaining activity, for once in a while. This photo is the equivalent of trying to find advantages to drinking excessive amounts of alcohol because it can boost your mood and alleviate stress. It's fine occasionally, but not something to even attempt to claim has advantages. Do you see where I'm coming from? The similar scenario also applies in our case.

I don't think its deceitful because the feelings varies across various caliber of personality so it's very okay to say it feels beneficial in a certain to to a certain group of persons then you would with another just like you did sites an example with smoke and marijuana.

These things are bad no doubts but it doesn't eliminate the fact that at some point it give a certain type of satisfactory feeling to its consumers and at the point it's given them such feel, they consider it to be advantageous to their well being but then these is actually temporary and is in the long term not profitable to the health but with gambling, if it serves as a stress relief for a group of persons, I think what's left is how to maintain it such that it serves it's purpose and then still remains beneficial to the consumer by protecting the consumer not to explore the destructive aspect of such habit.

[Casdinyard]

Gambling is not bad after all but addiction is, gambling has been receiving a lot of negative reactions and feedback but gambling also has a lot of health benefits associated with it but you can only get these benefits if you are a responsible gambler and you have total control of what you wage and limit your bankroll

These are some of the benefits to see more of its benefits you can read the whole article here

Can you add more besides what's written in this article?

Surprising Health Benefits of Gambling

It's good and all, but are these benefits you're listing exclusive only to gambling? If so, then what does gambling do that sets it apart from other ways for you to de-stress, other than it outright asks for your money with no guarantee of return?

It's fine and dandy to actually find a way to put gambling on a new light. This industry's had its fair share of flak and hate over the years after all, but it just feels a little pretentious if not dubious to actually list stuff like these when we have gambling addicts who are already stressing about how they'd make ends meet and earn their money back. Perhaps let's just dial down and actually just stay in our lane regardless of the hate or whatever. If you're sending this not to dispel hate though, then what is the reason?

Your question is sensible but as far as I know we are discussing about the Health Benfits of Gambling, it is obvious and we all know it that when we engage in gambling, we need to have money to spend for our bankroll and that it may win or higher chance to lose.  I believe what gambling do to set it apart from other de-stressing activities is that it gives us a chance to either double our expenses or win an amount more than our inititial bankroll. It is the chance of winning huge amount of money  that separate gambling from other de-stressing activities, IMO>

It wasn't the gambling or a gambling platform's fault, it was the gambler's abuse of the gambling platform that made them addicted to it.  We all know that anything excessive is harmful.  Can you blame food for making a person sick due to overeating?

The gambling had both positive and negative effects based on the win or loss at the end of the game.The gambler should not get over excited by the big win and depressed huge by the same loss due to the bad luck.If the gambler see both the win and loss in the same way,then he become the better gambler.He possesses easy win by the emotional control while playing in the gambling site.The gambler who play for huge duration in the gambling site will get nervous impact due to more pressure in the loss time.The gambler also depressed after complete loss in the gambling sites.He doesn’t involve in the random bet will have save from more health problems.

Apart from when one wins a game,I don't think gambling has any other advantage to human being.The reason I said apart from winning is because 90  percent of problem man faces in life is as a result of lack of money,if there is money,the challenges that face man atimes won't be a burden to the heart to the extent of it affecting his physical state or mental health,but becuse there isn't money to solve the problems we have,it would put man in a devastating state,but when there is money,he can just easily walk past the problem because he has the answer to the problems.
But the rest are negative things that gambling brings,which are so much to be mentioned.If we want to start mentioning the bad effects of gambling,it will be too much to mention.

The reality is that with or without money, humans are constantly unhappy with something. When we lack money and a wealthy life, we think that must be the solution for every problems faced in life, however, if that was true, there wouldn't be so many millionaires and billionaires depressed, stressed, anxious and feeling empty inside for some reason. An example of that are the celebrities, who even reach to the point of commiting suicide, because the reality is just to harsh to be faced. And money isn't a problem for them, so why are they on this situation?

Gambling is more powerful, positively speaking, treating stress and anxiety on gamblers than making them rich. If richness is the final goal, I fear gambling will only contribute to make these people more frustrated in life...

Agreed, this idea that money can somehow solve almost all of our problems is not true, and we have seen this being demonstrated many times before.

Lottery winners are the perfect example of this, as they went from having a normal life to having everything they could dream in an instant without the need to work hard for that money, and yet many of them end up believing the money they received was a curse instead of the blessing that it was, simply because they lacked the ability to manage it and they created thanks to that money more problems for themselves instead of solving any.

Although common, your claim oversimplifies the complex relationship between income, happiness, and mental health. Does it make sense to think that money is a universal happiness poison? According to psychological research, income has declining benefits on emotional well-being. However, financial stability can reduce many basic human need pressures. Gambling as a stress reliever is risky. Understanding gambling's addiction and stress is crucial. Gambling addiction increases despair, anxiety, and suicide thoughts. We shouldn't romanticize gambling as a stress-relief or happiness solution. Isn't it important to recognize these details rather than paint broadly?

We must walk carefully while tackling celebrity issues. It's a myth that affluence protects against mental illness. Living under continual public attention can increase loneliness and pressure. To think their affluence should protect them from such challenges misunderstands mental health. No matter their income, mental health difficulties can affect anyone. Shouldn't we approach this matter with more empathy and less judgment, knowing that mental well-being is complex and influenced by many things outside finances?

You are right about that, because gambling is like a double-edged sword. Which can be profitable and can be detrimental, depending on ourselves in responding to gambling. Because it is not gambling that is wrong, but we are the ones who have misinterpreted gambling and assumed that gambling can give us great benefits and can change our financial condition or multiply the money we have. And if you assume so about gambling, then as soon as possible to change your mindset in understanding and responding to gambling, before it all ends badly and leads to a loss.

[sompitonov]

Still, these things can have a positive effect to some extent. Of course, the benefit from them is at a minimal level, but if I make a small bet, for example on the Champions League final or some other major tournament, then it will definitely bring me a little joy even if I don’t win. Probably for some it will be a little more than the usual involvement in a tournament with his favorite team. For me this is true, but I repeat that with small and infrequent bets so that this doesn't affect our wallet too much. If someone doesn’t like it and wants to make a big bet, then the fine line is erased and there will be little benefit there, and perhaps this will affect the wallet and nutrition and well-being of the family.

When you say that gambling is double edge sword where you win some games and lose some games, do you mean that the ratio of winning and losing is similar? I really doubt it because i myself experience more losses than winnings. Also, I hear more stories of gamblers who lose more games as compared to the winning stories related to gambling.

Now coming to the health aspect of gambling, even if we neglect the number of loses and wins in gambling, the stress in gambling is enough to make us ill. For example you start to gamble, you are in doubt and tension that you will lose or win. This tension is in all games and hence it can have a bad impact on the health of the gambler. Some gamblers may take pills to remain clam but those may still have the site effects.

[red4slash]

Talking about gambling is actually like a double-edged knife and it depends on us in seeing the perspective because after all what you mentioned is indeed positive and it can be felt by some people but another problem that occurs in this case we also cannot let go of the negative effects that exist in gambling so I don't think we can fully say that it is only about positives because in the end we have to realise that the negative impact is still very much felt compared to the positive impact generated.
But even so, itdepends on the attitude we have towards gambling because after all the attitude we have will make the perspective different so with this we must realise that it depends on ourselves if we are in gambling whether we can only see the positive aspects or we are carried away by gambling which makes this negative.
