Health Benefits of Gambling

[Warkop]

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

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

While winning can certainly have health benefits, such as boosting dopamine levels and reducing stress, it's important to note that these benefits may not be present when you're not winning. In fact, losing can often lead to feelings of disappointment, frustration, and even depression.

I am interested in knowing whether people who gamble frequently and responsibly experience any health benefits from their activity. I am particularly curious about the positive impact of gambling on their mental and emotional well-being, even when they are not winning. How often do you feel positive, even when you lose? Do you believe that gambling can relieve your stress, even when you are not winning?

Everyone certainly knows that winning in gambling or whatever brings us health, because winning is always eagerly awaited by gamblers so it can change our mood or make things relaxed and calm in our minds. This will certainly influence the body to stay healthy, think and do the things it wants.

You need to know that it all depends on how the person does it, whether the person gambles just to have fun for a while to find entertainment or really to make a profit from gambling. In my opinion, if people gamble just to find temporary pleasure, they will definitely stop if they keep losing and it will not have an impact on their health condition. However, if they are really serious and looking for profit for themselves, of course when they lose they will definitely get hotter and more emotional to continue betting bigger and that can have a bad impact on their mental health.

I don't think anybody gambles for the health benefits. I have never sat down and though of gambling as something that can benefit my health.
Also, I don't believe "helping us to take risk is a health benefit".
To me these as just excuses we give ourselves to gamble more, just like the people that tell themselves sex everyday is useful to the health.
There's no shame in saying you enjoy doing something for yourself as far as you're not breaking any laws, or hurting anyone while doing it.

We don't always have to justify everything with the excuse of it's health benefits.
There are people that eat food just to fill their stomach, they dont care about the healthy benefits, people like that still gamble. So how will a person like that care about the healthy benefits of gambling?

Gambling doesn't even help relive stress. Lol. How on earth does gambling relieve stress?

    In my opinion, there are no health benefits of gambling. Gambling will ruin you financially and it also affect your health in a negative way. I know gamblers who are broke (and I mean broke, drowning in debts with no money for food or a roof over their head), depressed, have panic attacks and have no real friends or a stable relationship. The fact is, gambling is Not an advisable method for earning money. It is a fun way of spending money though. It is entertaining and has the benefit of possibly increasing your money. other forms of entertainment only drain your money. While the odds are low, it is possible to win in the short term.
   If you say benefits you may somehow be wrong just as you can't say what are the benefits of smoking. Everyone knows that it's either a win or lose situation. As almost everyone would say the house always wins. But this totally depends on what you are betting on. Gambling covers a lot of aspects from trading stocks down to sports betting. You must have a strategy to beat the odds. Gambling doesn't only mean betting on a 1500 odd game, it can also mean taking profits of 30 to 50% of investment daily and this is equally very profitable. So it solely depends on what you are betting on. You will surely see returns when you have a better betting mindset.

In gambling most people always focus on the positive part of it without regarding the negative part of gambling. All they always think of is gambling is a get rich quick scheme. And it is not because if gambling is a get rich quick scheme gambling would have been the only thing people will be doing. And most people that have such mindset always end up losing all their funds. And will end up being bankrupt. So in gambling always try to be cautious of the risk you're taking. And always know when to stop.

They want to win from gambling, so they focus on getting it. But the reality is that they will not be able to get it or will have difficulty getting it and experience many losses. Most people would think gambling is a quick way to get rich because by winning gambling games, they can earn a lot of money. But not many people can get a lot of money from gambling, but many of them lose. People must be aware of this and immediately change their thinking patterns again so as not to be trapped by their own thoughts, which can cause them to experience bankruptcy. When playing gambling, you have to understand the risks so you don't lose a lot, but you can also get entertainment from the gambling game.

It's possible to win in the short term but very unlikely to happen, many individuals that are gambling are losing money but can't stop gambling as they're addicted. The only health benefit of gambling that I know of is that it can make you happy when you win but many individual that are gambling aren't winning therefore that health benefit isn't getting to every one that's gambling. When gambling you have to know that you'll be more sad than happy as you'll lose more.

There are more health disadvantage from gambling than the benefits, gambling has alot of negative effects. When you're a gambler, you'll always be looking at that your phone screen gambling and it can affect your eyesight. We have gamblers that gave been addicted to gambling and spend hours on their phone screen gambling which they later in future have eye sight problems.

Surprisingly even people do see about negative things about gambling but we do actually have those health benefits. lol

Increased social networking
It sharpens the mind
RELAXATION AND COMFORT
Stress reduction
Happiness

https://holycitysinner.com/imported/surprising-health-benefits-gambling/

Dont know if these are really that indeed something that gamblers do able to feel on the time that they would really be dealing up with gambling
on which i do somehow agree on some points above like increased social networking an sharpens the mind but comfort and stress reduction
is something that questionable. Why? Losing money would be your primary experience to this and we know  that losing money isnt something
that could bring up happiness.

Not at all if that's the mind set of everybody then maybe everybody is rich already , always think that gambling is already negative for our health not just having fun but in the end everybody new exactly gonna happen in the long run of playing losing of your self , being too addictive and yes being bankrupt at the end of the day which wrong and already ruined life of your future. Im agree to you that you should have control over your self which know to stop when winning or losing tomorrow is always another day

Everything has a negative and positive side. It's also true for gambling. But as gamblers we always neglect the negative sides and try to live up to the positive ones. But it is needless to say that will never be possible. Everything comes at a risks, so is gambling. Thats why we all should be prepared for the worst. The last thing a gambler needs to be is being responsible.

What I mean is that the misunderstanding of gambling makes most people have the point of view that gambling is a quick way to become rich, and they come with high enthusiasm to achieve that success. I think that mindset is a fact that they really have especially when in the early stages of getting involved in gambling, because we have seen a lot of evidence that the level of people who are addicted is increasing because they come with the wrong mindset and understanding as I said above, but unfortunately they put their hopes in the wrong place which of course makes them suffer a lot of money loss.

That is why gambling is synonymous with something negative in the eyes of society, none other than because society has proven that they have seen many people who have experienced major problems as a result of gambling itself, such as losing all assets or even the destruction of family relationships. So the understanding and point of view on gambling must be correct from the start so that you don't get lost, this is nothing more than a probability activity to fill your spare time when you are bored.

But negative really outweighs its positive side and this is why its not really that shocking that people would really be laughing or would really be believing that
there are no positive things that could be acquired through gambling or dealing with it but instead people would really be getting losses.
There would really be no issues in overall if you do really just that make yourself that responsible. There are really those people who are really that treating gambling as a source
of income and this what makes them do able to mess up their lives instead on playing alone for leisure. Bad or wrong intentions and beliefs would really be causing for you to mess up yourself into
gambling field.

I have never come across this kind of topic in the gambling discussion before. It was just funny to me to be able to see this kind of topic but I had no option than to read in between lines to understand what the topic is all about. As it may sound, gambling has health benefits as op has said above. I have to agree with the point that gambling improves mood which I know is realistic. Also have to agree that gambling relieves stress but both the changing mood to a happy mood and relieving stress depends on the outcome of the gambling. Me someone who is sad and eventually loses big amount of money will even want to commit suicide. The point that gambling makes people happy is only relevant if there is a win.

The only point that sounds ridiculous to me is that gambling helps one to take risk. Although the point is valid however gambling itself is the risk so it does not help anyone to take risk. Should also exist it is not a calculated risk so it is just gambling.

Gambling should never be a source of income. No way it is. Gambling is played purely on luck, sometimes it can be good sometimes bad. Its not a steady job which gives us stable income. One moment we have everything and the other moment we don't. That's why I never treated gambling as a job or any source of income. Instead I think gambling as a source of fun, entertainments. Something to relieve our stress from this harsh world.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

During gambling, you get to feel very alright after a hard day at work and its a stress reliever for someone stressed from the days activities. It gets you to think more critically and creatively, improve concentration and quick decision making. It helps your emotional management too as your ability to manage emotions promptly within your involvement in it spreads to other activities.
One thing is certain, with a  clear mind,  you can achieve anything you want to and gambling helps clear your mind and set it on the default configuration to focus on other necessities.

[bettercrypto]

I agree that gambling is helpful and can provide stress relief to anyone who is going through problems, and sometimes gambling can be instrumental in relieving us, even if it is only a short-term entertainment that we feel in this matter.

So, I am one of those who will confirm that this is true and that it really helped me somehow—not even 100%, but I was able to think better to solve the problem I was going through, to be honest. Which results in my mood returning to normal.

Gambling has lots of untapped health benefits. But the only problem with most gamblers and nongamblers is that they're more concerned about the bad aspects of gambling. Everything has a good and bad aspect. Cars are good, but people also get injured through it. Yet people wouldn't stop using it because of the benefits it provides to mankind. Why people gamble is different, and the definition of gambling for each person is different too. Due to their view on how gambling works. Most people who have seen an addict's actions and how they put their family in long-term trouble, wouldn't believe anybody that says gambling has a health benefit. However, a gambler who is mainly focused on the health benefits gambling can provide, has no reason to bother about the thoughts of people around him, regarding his gambling habit. Because he's learning each day he gambles, how to manage money, maintain his emotions not to chase loss, and guide himself on when to stop gambling for the day.

This process helps the human brain to stay in control whenever required in real life. What Op enlisted in his threads is true, gambling helps a player to relieve stress, even critical thinking, and I saw a member add building social networks. Excessive gambling is bad and leads to problem gambling. It needs an experienced player to understand the importance of gambling. Not every gambler would be able to know what gambling has to offer the human brain. The results one gets via gambling, be it compulsive or reckless gambling is as ignorant of how gambling works. Out of many other benefits, one could get from gambling, the masses only publicized money as the meaningful reward gambling offers. Hence they go after it, chasing shadows, and end up addicted. Then run to the masses again to tell them that gambling is addictive and that they've lost all their money.

[HelliumZ]

Most people know gambling as a source of negative entertainment. But even though gambling has many negative effects, gambling can have positive effects on those who are under extreme stress. Mental stress is more in the case of people who live a lonely life and if people spend time in gambling then their mental stress is reduced to a large extent. Moreover, gambling can be said to be a place of peace for those people who live in family turmoil. Yes, but even though gambling has many positive effects, it cannot be called to make people addicted to gambling, but gambling should always be considered as a problem in the social context.

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

The health benefits of gambling for me, is only when you play and win more often. Or just playing and offline game which involve two people using there brain power to play rather playing online which you are not sure of the results. In offline game you believe in yourself before staking and if it didn't go well you can blame anybody for the failure rather you put the blame on yourself. Because you know quit well that it's due to your incompetency.

The health benefits of gambling come from winning more often and from engaging in offline games where you can rely on your skills and accept personal responsibility for the outcome. While I understand your perspective, it's important to consider the potential risks associated with gambling, such as addiction and financial loss.

How do you balance the enjoyment and potential benefits of gambling with the need for responsible and mindful gaming to ensure a positive overall experience?

Maybe we can get something from it if we win but also we can be a healthy individual if we are not asking to much about it and instead just enjoy the experience we encounter. But unfortunately that's not actually happen in the since since commonly we can see people gamble because they want to earn a easy money from it and they didn't realize some things that its important to settle up our expectation since this is our main enemy while gambling since we always look for unrealistic way that's the reason why there's a lot of gambler lose since this people always think about huge pot prize to take home by them if luckly they win in the contest held by a casino.

Many people fall into the trap of solely focusing on winning a large prize without considering the potential negative impacts on their well-being. Many people gamble with the primary goal of earning easy money, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and, ultimately, losses.

How do you think individuals can strike a balance between enjoying the thrill of gambling and maintaining a healthy perspective on the potential outcomes?

The first thing worth saying: this is that you need to play only for an amount that you wouldn’t mind losing.
The second important aspect is not to make gambling the meaning of life and as a habit. If you want to play constantly and no matter at what cost, this is already an alarming signal that the player has an addiction that will lead to bad consequences.
Therefore, you need to play responsibly to yourself, first of all,otherwise you can lose all your finances and get into debt, and this is not the worst thing that can happen.
