Look after your health - very important..

[Felicity_Tide]

A few days back, I came across a thread on this gambling board that talked about violence in sport, and I went on to suggest that the main reason why this happen, is as a result of what sport _{especially football} is built on, which is purely emotions and passion. There are too many emotions in football, and it often goes on to affect some fans both positively and negatively depends on how a particular game went.

A lot of people don't know how to handle the pressure that comes with losing a game, and not just ordinary games, but important ones. Checking yourself is a good way to start, but building yourself to handle football pressure and disappointment should also be a priority.

If it is just an ordinary fan, it is very rare to feel that way. But if that person is both a fan and a bettor, then it would be much harder to accept when his team loses.

That is why being emotional can really become a problem, especially if the person already has that kind of weakness. As for me, I was already a fan of the game before I started gambling, but when I got into betting, I realized that games can sometimes feel rigged or unpredictable.

So I learned not to be too attached to any team. No matter how good they are, sometimes they still lose. It is sad to know that there are people who die just from watching a game, but yes, this kind of thing can really happen.

There are many people leaving with health conditions that they are unaware of, regular health checks is limited and ignored because of poor economic status. It is sad that the one thing that they turn to for solace, for enjoyment and relaxation ends up killing them.
It raises some importance on health and why being conscious of it helps.

if you are too passionate about a sport that it endangers your health, you should be careful of it so you don't die.

It is with tears, sadness and sorrow that this young man by name, chibuzor from Anambra state in Nigeria was laid to rest either yesterday or today (not sure).
It is reported he died while collapsed, and died while watching the Arsenal verses PSG UEFA champions league match that was played on Saturday where Arsenal lost to PSG with penalty.

The deceased was a die hard Arsenal fan, those who witnessed the event said he collapsed during the penalty stage of match after PSG defeated Arsenal..
Cause of death was not ascertained, but my own personal assumption is that he must have had a heart attack due to blood pressure rising from the intense pressure, and what this means is that the deceased had an underlying illness, possibly BP which he may not be aware of..

https://x.com/i/status/2061423688310726720

This is how I almost had a heart attack due to one of the AFCON seasons when my country Nigeria went into penalty shootout against South Africa, I was watching that match alone in my room and at a point, it felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest, at a point again, I noticed I was beginning to struggle to breath properly, I quickly grabbed my TV remote, turn off the television and rush outside, I started breathing heavily and sweating profusely, since this incident, I started being careful of the match I watch, if its a match that will get me too tensed, I will avoid watching it and simply follow up the scores online..

This is from me to you today, football is very exciting to watch, but you have to know it's not worth dying for, go for test from time to time, check yourself and know the status of health so you know what and what to avoid to stay alive and healthy ✌️

Oh, it is a very sad incident, but in all cases, we must remember that health is wealth, nothing can be done by harming one's health. Maybe the man was already sick or the man had high blood pressure, due to which the man got hurt watching that game and had a heart attack, but such patients should not watch such excited matches. Here, the man died, maybe you are saying that I or we knew about it, but no one knows, so one should never watch games by putting one's life at risk because if something happens to me, it will be a loss to my family, a great loss to my child and a great loss to my wife, so before doing anything, one should definitely think carefully and not do anything under pressure. Here, the two teams for which the man died of a heart attack due to high blood pressure, will these two teams ever compensate him, and these two teams will never know or inquire about his death, so one should not sacrifice one's life for all these games.

[Hispo]

It must be very sad to die because of a heart attack because one sees one's favorite team to lose such an important match, but people who are so try-hard fans of those clubs do not realize that in the end, it is just a game and it is not supposed to be taken so seriously.
Even after this defeat and all this disappointment, the Arsenal will continue playing and they will eventually recover from all this, while those who have died during those football games because of their poor health won't be back to see their team playing again.

It is kind of ironic how people lose their cool over those matches, when not even the owner of the Arsenal would get so upset in order for him to suffer a heart attack due to a loss.

Take care guys, remember it is just a game and it is supposed to bring good things to our life, not disappointment and death.

[danadc]

We as human beings bring about our own demise with the problems we create for ourselves. I know that sports are very exciting in their finals, but you have to have control. If you lose a bet, what does it matter? There's nothing more you can do; it happens. But those who take it to heart often experience these kinds of things. The heart is very delicate, and if we eat fatty and sugary foods, don't sleep well, and have anxiety, that can happen.

Damn, I guess he had a lot riding on that game! Having a heart attack at the sheer outcome of a bet is enough of a reason not to have placed the bet in the first place but then again how would you ever have known. Don't play with fire man you might get burned. Dont place bets that might kill you either ! I know we dont know for certain but its a good theory.

[Kelward]

I heard stories about a couple of people that died from possibly high blood pressure due to the pressure of watching arsenal lose the match against PSG, there is also an insidence that I also heard where a fan committed suicide after Arsenal's lose. It is sad that these people lost their lives after Arsenal's lose while the team has accepted defeat and moved on, I believe that players are given strong orientations about handling loses.

Sports are about wins and losses so whichever happens people should be strong and not allow what happened during a match to affect their health or worse them dying from it. If you understand yourself and know that you don't have what it takes to watch a live match maybe as a result of your bet or you're a diehard fan it is better to avoid such games. There are people who don't watch penalty shootouts, if you're one of those it is better to stick by not watching it and get results later.

[Tetu100]

The whole thing boils down to the issue of taking something so personal, there are people I mean fans who are always very serious and personal whenever they are talking about football teams and some can easily fight if someone say something against their team they fan and it is very wrong. Perhaps the deceased person must have sworn with his life or used his life savings to play Arsenal to win PSG because he trusted his club but that will be really insane because the game was indecisive, you can not really tell who was going to win.

You are right. That's is why is never advisable to be more dedicated or committed to all of this that concern gambling or being a fan. Some time I just wonder because of how some fan normally react all just to answer a faithful or a die fan, it's funny honestly. That is nonsense to me because the people we are bend on fighting for or even breaking our heads for don't even know us in person and some people are here killing themselves while they are their making their money. However, We should wake up from all of these and face reality  because their some thing we do that in real sense make no sense at all.

It’s actually hurts when your favorite team lost a game and you’ve rooted for them to end up the game with a win.It pained my emotions when arsenal lost the game but no to the extent where j would fall down and die,there are certain things we should ask ourselves;questions like what if I die today because arsenal has lost the match,would they stop existing?absolutely no.In everything,learn to manage your emotions,I know feeling emotions is involuntary but there’s a way you can get rid of certain things that could result to heart attack.Always look out after your health because high blood pressure kills faster than other things,a man was angry to a point that he had to hung himself all because arsenal lost the match.

The case of the guy op was talking about i believe it was as a result of an illness he didn't take notice of because if he had visited a doctor he would have told him to stay off things that would increase his anxiety level. Football isn't worth dieing for besides there would always be next season, so it's important to take care of our health irrespective of work or anything that might consume our mind and time. I'm also a fan of my club I feel the pain when my team loses but I always find a way to switch emotions by doing something else that also excites me.

[viljy]

I've had a similar condition before, like OP. I try to avoid such stressful experiences. In general, these symptoms suggest that it is necessary to check the level of LDL in the blood.

Of course, it is a sad case that a person died due to severe stress. This tells us that we don't need to get carried away so much. And of course, you need to take care of your health too.

[Cointxz]

The heart is very delicate, and if we eat fatty and sugary foods, don't sleep well, and have anxiety, that can happen.

I believe eating habits of this kind of food is the real culprit for this case since the victim can overcome even a huge gambling lose if he has a strong heart.

This is something I’m battling these days since I have high blood sugar that complicates my eye condition. I started to decrease my gambling activities due to this medical condition and started a healthy living food intake.

As a gambler, our health is the top priority over entertainment from gambling. We shouldn’t ignore even a minor pain if we feel something is going on in our body. We can use our gambling for medicine or check ups instead of losing it to the house.

[maydna]

We need knowing our status of health so we will not takes any risk. If you are healthy, you can do anything you want without worry if bad things comes to you but if you have heart disease, you should be careful and avoid something that causing problems for your heart.

Fatigue factors can also influence death so you must be careful with your healthy and if watching the match attracting something to your health, you do not have to watch and doing other things.

Our health is important so we need to test from time to time, check yourself and make sure that we are in the good conditions.

[Livingleged]

Trying as much as you can to staying healthy is never overemphasis, it ranges from healthy eating to and also healthy environments. A lot of things can actually cause/ lead to death but checking up something might save you.
There is this saying that “what you don’t know doesn’t kill you” It’s a false statement of course the earlier we get tested and attend to our health the high chance we have for survival. The guy that passed may probably be a complication from high blood pressure that might have lead to a heart attack attacks. If one is tensed or in serious fear you could tell how the heart really beats fast, a lot of gambler experience this and if you don’t take care of your health it can happen to anyone.

It's certainly important to understand what's happening to our health right now, but most players simply won't do so and will find a million excuses. Players will most often dream of winning, thinking that luck will strike and bring them the jackpot, and they think about everything else secondarily, in my opinion. Those who take care of their health make up a fraction of a percent of the total, and many don't even have proper healthcare with high-quality equipment and testing machines. I also often see many players from poor countries betting everything they have, even if they can't afford clothes, and they give little thought to healthcare.

[AmaGold70]

Every health challenge has a way of managing it, and do not try to be careless over it. In this case, this Arsenal fan must have been battling with an illness he could not control, possibly blood pressure.
Many people who like football, are fans of one team or the other, and this kind of a team rarely happen, though their might be some effect on you when your team looses an important match like the UEFA champions league, and more especially in the final stage, but is not enough to take ones life.
As fans we should be very careful the way we give support to our team, do all you can to cheer them up, and give your team all the necessary support that you can, but do not give your own life for it.

[ZeroVinsonN]

People who know that they are not healthy enough shouldn't be involving themselves in things that they know will disrupt their health and lead to a health decline, it's just that so many people are so careless about their own health that they forget that certain occurrences can affect them negatively, especially things that lead to such rush in adrenaline, it's sad that he died in such a situation but if he had such a health issue Arsenal winning might have still lead to the same outcome.

[swogerino]

I have grown strong over the years and even my national team when they achieve something special I don't celebrate much nor when they lose a big event I am not that sad. The only time when health problems started for me was at the peak of my addiction in slot machines as stress and constant losing of money made me look older than I am and also skinnier. From that time I now keep a very healthy diet and lifestyle so nothing has happened to me since I am doing like that.

[bakasabo]

It is so hard to believe that stress after placing a bet can lead to heart attack of young person. I know that stress can cause weigh loss easily, stress can cause hair loss and issues with stomach. Heart attack - it is when blood can not get to heart muscles, due to arteries being blocked. But dont we have a high blood pressure when we are at stress, heart beats crazy. Crazy heart beat vs no blood to heart. That does not look the same for me. I am not a doctor, but it does not look that heart attack and stress from gambling are connected. Overall bad health imo causes heart attack.

Yeah and I don't believe that to. They are blaming gambling as the reason on why that incident happen, but for sure there are underlying causes on why it happen to those young people. Most often the reason is stress and their lifestyle that's why it happens.

Although we cannot really point out the exact main reason, but this is the reason why for gambler and non gamblers we should maintain having a healthy lifestyle. Its not good to sit all day on our homes doing nothing, since risk to experience hearth attack is high nowadays.
