iamsheikhadil Posted September 19, 2019 #1 Posted September 19, 2019 It might feel strange, but I have given a thought and sensed that gambling can actually reduce a person's suicidal tendencies and depression. A gambler knows how luck and life works. A gambler knows this by experience. Just like there can be a huge win after a long streak of losses in gambling, there will bs a sun rise after a long darkness in life. When you feel too low because you busted some amount and suddenly hit the 1000x on plinko, you feel happy. Then you realize life works in the same way. You can't always win. You can't always be happy. But you can't always lose. There will be times when you lose but then the winning will be so huge. And unlike gambling where it ends at busting of all, in life, in the end, there's only happiness that wins.
zulfandina Posted September 19, 2019 #2 Posted September 19, 2019 yeah .. you are right ... in life there is always reciprocity if there is already and patience in living life ... patience is not enough .. Likewise in gambling ... if you are patient and always try to find a solution to every problem ... one day you will definitely get a victory ...
Hoffguy Posted September 20, 2019 #3 Posted September 20, 2019 Woah deep into the philosophy nice! Nice way to link life with gambling, for people that play with their head yeah I think good point! Problem for alot of gambler tho is they play with dumb part of brain and not smart rational part so then they might chase losses get into losses and think why world so mean! But if can stay smart then can be like your idea and learn from lessons at the games and bring into life! Even people say poker is like a mini world, you experience lots of life lessons at the table:)
SLFJ Posted September 20, 2019 #4 Posted September 20, 2019 Sometimes it's opposite, sometimes it's not, it's all dependanton either you win or you don't.

Thepug Posted September 21, 2019 #6 Posted September 21, 2019 I’m sorry, I know that your points are valid and you are allowed to have your own opinion, but I completely disagree with you. Gambling addiction and mental health issues are drastically increasing. People that can’t control how much they are betting and don’t know when to stop betting, will just end up with an increased risk of a mental health illness. Depression, anxiety and bipolar are rapidly increasing in society from one main issue, gambling addictions. It can not only have an effect on the individual, the lives of the people around them will change. Therefore, if you were to say something like “casual gambling reduces negative externalities and is a fun past time”, I think that it would be more suitable in this situation. I know of people that were addicted to gambling, so they overdosed and unfortunately they died. If only they had been given help or someone would have seen the amount of money that they were losing and took them to a help centre, they would still be alive today.

On the other hand just by looking at any chat on any of these sites, I would be willing to say gambling is a cause of some people's depression. It is absolutely a source of anxiety for me personally.
Mahdirakib87 Posted September 21, 2019 #9 Posted September 21, 2019 Nice topic. But you know people who think to do suicide run through huge depression, stress. They lose all their hope and become disappointed. Finally they take the bad decision. We can't win always. But if we try we can find the happiness in lose too.
DCYuma Posted September 21, 2019 #10 Posted September 21, 2019 It's depend on your win and loses I guess you can't be so sad and think alright when your busting so hard but I think you will get to the point the you will do such thing.
Vusal Posted September 21, 2019 #11 Posted September 21, 2019 All things in life has its alues and minuses. There are good and bad sides to gambling. But life is a chessboard. Igrat - one must act with open eyes and with the mind.
CntryBoy Posted September 21, 2019 #12 Posted September 21, 2019 There are ups and downs in gambling, just as there are in all other aspects of life. We just have to know how to cope with the downs and know that the ups may be right around the corner. Good outlook on it.
Enzo Posted September 21, 2019 #13 Posted September 21, 2019 That's quite interesting to learn. I used to suffer from thoughts of suicide and was heavily depressed but not so much anymore. maybe its the gambling!
Ivan43 Posted September 21, 2019 #14 Posted September 21, 2019 Many suicides happen because of casino,but if people stopped,then it will help him in price,because to merge all the casino and lose everything in life -different things,but one way out and it's not a suicide and move on and error analysis
sugam Posted September 21, 2019 #15 Posted September 21, 2019 Does it really ??? 😂😂😂 I thought it was just the opposite .... Gambling gives you anxieties and depression
Goyst23 Posted September 21, 2019 #16 Posted September 21, 2019 Yes, if u loosing, u probably start feeling bad and depressed, but if u probably winning, then u would be happy, but anyway u need to do everything with all your mind control, without emotions

Gambling gives you anxieties and depression Lol it does. But so does jobs. And so does studies. Even bearing a child in womb is full of torture and pain. But in the end, if things go right, you gain precious gems. But, control, persistence and patience is the key. The balance is right there, you just have to not let yourself to an extreme and you will see how it all balances out. And even if you lean on an extreme side, just try to loose it all, and it will automatically balance for you
