Older recreational gamblers are even healthier than non-gamblers, according to a surprising Yale University study. The results are the opposite of what researchers expected, though the findings are not rock-solid. They are based only on telephone reviews.The survey showed that recreational gamblers 65 and older reported being in better health than their peers who don't gamble. The older gamblers also reported less alcoholism, depression, bankruptcy and imprisonment than younger recreational gamblers.But the social aspects of gambling — whether it's slot machines at a casino, poker games with friends or bingo at a church hall — may be an explanation for how the study turned out, Yale epidemiologist Rani Desai said. "There's this whole concept of healthy aging — that folks who continue to remain engaged in activity, especially in the community and in social activities, stay healthier longer, so I think this is a reflection of that. It's not that gambling makes you healthy, it's that gamblers are healthier," Desai said.

They seem so still and foolish directly they're written down on white paper with black ink. Fancies are like shadows. . . you can't cage them, they're such wayward, dancing things. But perhaps I'll learn the secret some day if I keep on trying. I haven't a great many spare moments, you know. By the time I finish correcting school exercises and compositions, I don't always feel like writing any of my own."
"You are getting on splendidly in school, Anne. All the children like you," said Gilbert, sitting down
