There exist over one million and one reason why people hate gambling, but few benefits of gambling can make a player to outsmart his colleagues in the office. Or even in an interview. I was able to check how gambling benefits relate to what HR officers look out for in a candidate before hiring them. There are 2 main benefit of gambling that improves the major skills people look out for in an employee in every offices.

1. Critical thinking: there have never been any job opening that doesn't require candidates to have this skill, because every company needs it to grow. And under critical thinking include skills like problem solving, idealist etc.

2. Socialization: Mainly the corporate world will call it interpersonal relationship. It's a very crucial skill anywhere we find ourselves in the world. And gamblers who participate in board games, easily develop the skill. When in the office, they'll always socialize and make friends with co-workers.

Personally, I've experienced these two, in my daily conversation with people. And realized that my responses are now more effective than it used to be in the past, before I began gambling. I'd always think fast and respond accurately what the next person wants to hear. And most times it makes them laugh.  ;D

There are other benefits of gambling, and how it has helped your gambling life. It'll be great if you shared some of it with us. Cheers.

It would be depending on what kind of gambling activity you are dealing with but since you are dealing with physical gambling on which you would be going against with other player then there's no doubt that
you could be having that socialization but i dont see for it to be the sole reason on why you have enhanced yourself in speaking about socialization considering that we are dealing with things
on day to day basis on which we might not be aware that it is already enhancing our socialization with other people but if you do see that your gambling involvement did make out some change
then its good for you. Same goes for critical thinking on which its not only gambling that would be able to enhance your critical thinking on which we know that we could really be able to enhance
this thing naturally if we wanted to.

This is why i would say that it is really that a little bit irrelevant if we do speak about enhancement of these specific areas of a person on which we know
that these things could be acquired into other method and we might not really just that wary of it.

I think the reasons why many people hated gambling is beyond what you have mentioned. There are people that see gambling activities as something we don't ought to do based on the risk and addiction that is involved. When we look at it from the religious aspects, their are too many reasons why religious organizations do not support gambling. We all have the right to do anything we like or associates ourselves to whatever organization or activities we want inasmuch as it is not illegal or something that would jeopardize the activities of others. There are so many benefits to gambling especially when we are lucky enough to be making consistent profits over and over again.

Socialization with gambling is one of the few good side-effects actually.
People sitting in their neighborhood cafe or restaurant would play some card games to pass time and do something together.
So it's an old tradition.

But see, the thing is, you can talk and socialize even without playing cards. And also, online gambling doesn't really do much in terms of socializing.
So especially when it comes discussing gambling with crypto, I think the effects of this specific benefit aren't that noteworthy.

Not everyone enjoy or sees gambling as a means of earning extra change, some envisioned to be one of these activities that tend to liquidate our bank accounts because once we're in the system, there's no going back, we tend to continue gambling until we end up with absolutely nothing. We are different human beings and our goals do differs, we learn alot from the system, that's for those of us that re acquainted with the system and knows how it operates, but for those individuals who don't believe the system, they've no concerns about the system, just full focus on their jobs.

I somewhat agree to critical thinking or the ability to perform an analysis, but not with the second one. There are a lot of gamblers out there that are scared of socialization and would rather play solo rather than play with another person. A lot are also shying away from the discussion of gambling thinking they're going to be judged just because they're engaged in an activity that is prone to culminating addicts.

I myself am not a social gambler, and would rather sit in an empty room and gamble and make my analyses and predictions there. I am easily distracted, therefore I do not want another person interfering with what I'm doing, especially if it involves losing or winning some money.

It's almost true to everyone that if you're a gambler, you're likely to have developed this career skills with gambling because you will be a social person being a gambler and you will also you will have to be a fast and accurate thinker because you will have to be in some situations that may warrant making the possible fast and accurate decision with gambling, while being all through this with some gambling platforms, you're learning and developing your career skills with gambling.

There are two kinds of gamblers, one is extrovert and the other one is introvert.  Maybe you have encountered lots of introverted gamblerss, the reason why you stated that these people are scared of socialization but if you happen to be a frequent visitor of a gambling establishment, you will found out that most people who are hanging on the gambling vicinity loves to interact with other people.  Some even make offline casinos as hangout and one way to meet new friends.


I am also one of the few who want to spend my gambling time alone.  I also don't want others prying their eyes on what I am playing so I often gamble online to suit my needs.  But sometimes, I go out with my friends and try to have fun in the nearby casino.

Yes there may be "some" degree of critical thinking in gambling but to be fair, it's not required, so probably most people don't. Like me! I just turn off my brain whenever I play simple games like dice, crash, slots, blackjack, heck even poker. In sports gambling, though I do indeed try to delve into the deeper side of things when it comes to matchups, but it's not to the point where companies would hire me really just based on that. Might've helped a bit when developing it but that's about it.

As for socialization, don't really count online conversations for my side really. It just feels different in real life, and I mostly suck at it so I know. Even in instances where I gambled in some local casinos I don't really do small talk with people.

It seems that when compared to people who feel happy with their gambling activities, it is much less. because in fact nowadays most people complain about the gambling they do, perhaps because they often lose. And whatever it is, even though they often complain about their gambling activities, this does not make them stop their gambling activities and in fact people like this continue to increase their hopes that gambling can change their lives.

And if we talk about critical reasoning power and social skills, this is indeed quite important so that we can become better gambling players. Because with sharp critical reasoning, this will enable us to make quite mature analyzes and calculations.
And with good socialization skills, this will make it easier for us to search for and find information and solutions.

I'd definitely be keen about the first point you made - critical thinking.
Its wise to say the thorough investigations and comparisons between different teams, just to be able to speculate what the team plays at the end definitely needs "critical thinking"

it could have an impact in your personal life on the inside-out; do you actually think you'll become a responsible gambler ?? What critics that would be on the opposite.

The strain and stress gotten from trying to be logical enough to get the best picks for you to be lucky enough to win while gambling may possibly have a positive effects on your thinking skills because you become more logical than regular especially if you are experienced gambling.

Gamblers are known to effectively communicate amongst themselves especially when they have to share ideas as to how well and safe an option is to increase their chances of winning, sometimes some of them even offer education on gambling to each other for free because they get this bond amongst themselves and that helps them communicate effectively but I think outside the gambling arena some of them are not able to apply that professionally or I'm their daily lives.

Well, if you are playing live poker and sports betting those things can be acquired.
But what if you are just playing online Plinko? :D There's no such thing as critical thinking with those games. You just play the game and let the system decide if you are lucky or not.
Sure, there are benefits to gambling and one of those is how to be responsible with your money and being careful with it. We gamblers somehow know the importance of spending it because we don't want to just throw away money on a bet that we know is on the losing side. Sports bettors especially do care a lot about their bets. They do deep analysis and try to enhance their chance of winning by reading articles and looking at the history of teams and players so that they can make sure the money they will be risking will have a better chance to gain double or maybe even better in parlays.

Not against gambling by any means, but I guess we can have this two, critical thinking and socialization acquire even without playing or gambling. I mean we are already born with this traits we just have to sharpen it up as we grow and mature.

And there could be other ways, theoretically, we can go to school and improved our critical thinking, or maybe we have other experience it life that made us interpret and then make the correct decisions. And games like slots machines or luck base, do we really need critical thinking?

Same with socialization, as a human being, we have friends and families or even if we meet new individual, we might developed chemistry with them as we go along.

Socialization becomes relevant when gambling primarily for enjoyment, particularly in a physical casino. However, critical thinking is very important every time you engage in gambling serving as a guide for making the right decisions.

Employing critical thinking implies consistently making sound choices, steering clear of letting emotions dictate your actions. While winning in gambling isn't guaranteed, critical thinking does provide assurance in minimizing the risk of exceeding your limits and losing beyond what you can afford.

I sort of think you’re reaching here. You might as well throw in hand eye coordination and statistical analysis. The truth is though, trying to use your gambling experience as career skills will mostly likely make you look like an idiot to a recruiter, as the statistics show it’s against you so a critical thinker wouldn’t engage in that behavior…

This sounds really bogus for me " career skill in gambling". Is this even possible for anyone to have such a thing with gambling? I can relate with the part where you can will be social as a gambler because am also a gambler myself and I know one thing about gambler they really can socialize, just like the way smokers relate with one another  ;D. Over here in my place all the gamblers are fund of having a level of social skill that I can relate.

One factor can't change a person, there are lots of other things that helped to advance my critical thinking skill and interpersonal communication skill. Gambling with friends is one of the multiple factors. Provided we hang out and discuss with people, our interpersonal skill may increase. Yet, we require critical thinking to contribute effectively to conversations and answer difficult questions. Thereby, building more network with mutual friends. Communicating with new people in the gambling house, helps us create a feeling of not being afraid to begin a conversation with people we just met. It could end well or be the best conversation we've ever had. Gambling helps me to think better, especially black roulette game, which I play in my private time. It's one game that improves my brain power to reason uniquely, when required to hit an outside the box idea. And these skills are not common kind of skills you can read in books and master them, without practicing it. Yes, solving mathematical exercises, taking quiz etc can help critical thinking. But, this thread is showing the benefits of gambling as regarding critical thinking. Not saying it's the only form of being a critical thinker. Isn't it great that we learn and boost our skills through gambling? same activity everyone thinks, nothing good can be made out of it.

I do not think that this point is valid because the practice of gambling is frowned upon according to customs, in almost all societies. Religious laws that prohibit gambling prevent individuals from having the right to do so on a societal scale. Given the harm that gambling is capable of causing, it cannot be considered a factor for social harmony.
I believe that practicing table gambling is not an expression of sociality because its participants are characterized by great individualism. As evidence of this is the great prosperity of online gambling compared to classical gambling methods

Men such as Aristotle and Socrates are widely regarded as critical thinkers. Where they gambler's? Am just asking for a friend! ;D

Being a gamblers doesn't earn you the position of a critical thinker or as a person with a socialize personality, anyone can possess those traits without becoming a gambler. There are countless activities a person can get get involved in to build a critical thinking ability and gamble is the least of them all. For a hiring manager knowing you are a gambler can be a red flag for you because the general believe about gamblers in the society is that they are irresponsible people. Don't get me wrong op, I do understand your point, but the reality is that out of a 100 hiring manager 99% will absorb a gambler into their company based on your points.

For a fact,  the risk of addictions or losing shouldn't be the only thing that cross our mind as a society about gambling,  reasons being that gambling hand gone through a lot of misconceptions and at that it has become more clearer to us to take gambling based on individuals perception,  conviction and commitment,  so if you see people that detest gambling,  as a gambler you have to avoid them,  and also when you see anyone that have free spirits towards gambling then such person you can roll with,  to me fhat is how best I have handled that situations in the past and it has helped me a lot.

It just means you engaged yourself with gambling in a very deep way. You developed an intense interest for gambling, so you have to keep talking to friends and other gamblers about things related to this matter, consequently upgrading your social skills. You keep thinking about gambling techniques and strategies to be practiced, so your critical thinking is also under constant activity.

Of course the same social and critical thinking skills could have been being practiced through another ways, but it was gambling which awake your interest for improving yourself, and from a humanistic perspective, that is great, since we have to respect and endorse unique and autentic ways people have to develop themselves.

If it's being benefical for you, go ahead.

Well, the skills such as "critical thinking" and "socialisation" that you've mentioned can be acquired in other things, like in sports such as board games, chess, for example, basketball, and many more, so I would not say that gambling provides this kind of benefit because you will not engage in gambling if you don't have critical thinking and socialisation, or if it's not that advanced, then maybe with the use of gambling it could enhance your mentioned skills, but still, I'm not convinced that only gambling could provide or enhance those kinds of skills. Maybe some people will be given the idea that they need to gamble to hone their critical thinking and socialization. It's more like you need to enhance or develop those two skills in order to do better at gambling. I developed my critical thinking and socialisation without gambling, so don't give up the idea of gambling as a skill enhancer.

there are still several benefits of gambling and it has also been said in other threads that I dont need to say anymore, what is certain is that the benefits of gambling like this are really a positive thing for ordinary gamblers, not compulsive gamblers and unfortunately only a small percentage can experience benefits like this because the percentage of compulsive gamblers is so large compared to regular gamblers that the positive benefits as OP said are very rarely felt by all gamblers.

TBH, I also feel things like this, not only at work but in everyday life, I can always think quickly and more thoroughly before making any decisions and I think these are all benefits of responsible gambling.

Yes, this is why you would really be that might be saying that you have made yourself getting better or having that improvement just because you had deal up with gambling but you dont
notice that you had been able to acquire those things in other things that you are getting involved into. This is why you cant precisely say that it is really due to your gambling
dealing and might really be in other things that you are getting involved into .It doesnt matter though on where you do get those things or learnings as long you do
make yourself did improve when it comes to those skills or benefit you do say then it is the most important thing to have.

Doesnt matter if you do able to acquire it via gambling or not, thing here is that you do make benefit on which this is something that will really be
useful as a type of person on which you could make use on different life situations.

To me you are just overthinking things out, without a doubt there could be some benefits to be had out of gambling, however if you want to improve your critical thinking and your ability to socialize with your coworkers, there are cheaper ways to achieve this with better results.

As there are many books written about those two topics in particular that could allow you to obtain the same benefits at a lower cost, so we must stop to try to make gambling something that is not and just treat it for what it is, a great way to obtain some excitement for a reasonable cost.

critical thinking may be a good skill in gambling, but socialization skills are not that important, it is better to have a positive attitude. by having a positive attitude, gamblers can face various situations more calmly and don't tend to get messy. they will be self-motivated and optimistic both in their gambling and their personal lives. by staying positive it is very good for gamblers and they can build a better life and not lose control when they lose or the plan does not go according to what they expected.

We rarely see people talking about the benefits of gambling, generally everyone only sees "problems" among people who have the habit of betting.
Certainly every activity, as long as it is lawful, has some benefit for the person and also for the player, however it is important to remember that these benefits, whatever they may be, are only valid as long as gambling does not become an addiction, as then the The harm that gambling brings outweighs any good it may have.

Regarding the "socialization" topic that you mentioned, I think it is only valid for those who play in physical casinos, because for betting sites (which is certainly the reality for most of us) this is an aspect that only gets worse and causes more isolation than socialization.

This is a positive influence of gambling if you're playing a skill-based games. Critical thinking can really apply to your career, and it's an advantage since you are used to it as a gambler. Thus, if you're able to use this attitude positively in your job, it just shows that you are a responsible gambler and didn't let the bad experience affect you. What I mean is the losses, because many of us are having a hard time accepting this situation resulting to the obvious changes in our personality (like bad temper, easily irritated, sadness etc.)

Some people consider gambling as very bad while some people try to learn something through gambling. There are many people who gamble but don't disclose it because if they do, people might criticize them. Gambling is frowned upon by some people due to their condition. Some people in the society think that all gamblers seem to go through such a bad situation after seeing people who have lost all their money and got into huge debts due to gambling addiction, that's why people look down on gambling. You mentioned here that people can learn two things through gambling but I think people do not gamble to learn these things but the main purpose of gambling is to improve their financial condition by winning gambling. Most gamblers, when asked, will answer that they gamble for their own pleasure and profit. If I speak for myself, I don't see gambling as fun and I see making money from gambling as a possibility to increase money.

I don't know whether this is wrong or right, but I still can't really understand whether this can really be useful or have positive impact in the company or at work.
But I don't think these two factors can really have big influence.

Maybe people who have critical thinking can have more freedom in solving problems because they tend to be able to think about complicated things that may be difficult for normal people out there to think about.
It just that people with critical thinking can also have negative impact on the company because they tend not to want to think long and hard when taking action and only care about what they think is right.
And they can only assume the truth based on what they see.

If you gamble at land-based casino, maybe you can have socialization, but here we gamble online and some of us still always talk about privacy and anonymity.
Moreover, when playing at a table with several people, it just live broadcast so it doesn't have any influence on self-confidence to have good social life.

Maybe another benefit of gambling is that you can train discipline, train yourself to manage your finances and train yourself to control yourself so you don't gamble excessively. But unfortunately, behind the benefits of gambling, there is a temptation for people who can't practice everything and they are eager to get more money than they have won.

This makes gambling not a place for these trainings because many people fail to train them. However, some people manage to have all the things needed to gamble so that they are not tempted or influenced to continue gambling, especially if they feel they have had enough of gambling.

Religious sentiment and social misconception is the reason many people are against gambling. They just assume that gambling is an abnormal behavior because few people have gambling disorders. They forget that gambling gives revenue to the government and also has some positive financial impact on the individual gamblers.
 To be a good gambler one has to develop analytical skills. The ability to pay attention to details, observe, and reason is what makes one a productive gambler. Gambling helps people to think constructively and make accurate predictions. I do not doubt that gamers one the smartest people because they can generate and interpret ideas to make predictions.
 Although gambling shouldn't be used as a substitute for boredom it could serve as an option for acute isolation. Introverts will find gambling useful to socialize and interact with people. This benefit is more pronounced in physical casinos but online platforms also offer the same privilege. The friendly atmosphere of casinos is one of the reasons I visit it occasionally. If you want to develop interpersonal skills responsible gambling is a good option.

If a person does not have a positive attitude towards gambling then this training will never be useful. He can learn everything through training but if a person cannot control himself to take a place like gambling he will become greedy this greed will prevent him from winning and he will suffer. Although advanced gambling addicts understand the harm and try to stay away or quit gambling it is not possible for them to do so. Gambling draws them like drugs they gamble again and again hoping to get back the money or wealth they lost in the past in the next game and gradually lose their composure. That's why you have to keep your financial management right even if you lose you can't spend more than that. This requires your goodwill first. You have to believe that many have been able to break through the gambling trap and you can too.

Does this kind of stuff outweigh the negative effects of gambling because critical thinking and socialization can still be improved even without gambling, take reading non-fiction and fiction books as a way to improve your critical thinking skills or even doing proper debates, that can help you with socialization and critical thinking skills. As much as others want to make gambling a force of good, I do not believe or think it is ever going to become one because there is already a lot of alternatives already to those said benefits, I am just lazy to add the others.

Can casino gambling be considered a career? Can casino gambling be considered a skill here in the cryptocurrency business? We all know that we have our own reasons why we gamble here in the crypto space.

Most of them are just for fun. And it is also inevitable to consider gambling as their way of making money here in the crypto space, and others just to relax, even for a short time.

Gambling has various benefits Here I am sharing some of the benefits that we get from gambling. Bravery: Gambling first taught me bravery. I was so afraid of gambling, I always thought I would never be able to handle it. But one day I boldly participated in this gambling game and won in that gambling game since then my courage increased and now I regularly participate in gambling boldly. Second Patience I made myself very patient by gambling. All these benefits I got through gambling which has brought many benefits in my life.

That socialisation with gambling works with games you can play with people only, what about online gambling? Its you against the house and that's it, yes I accept that you will get used to making friends with people but I still find it hard to make friends with strangers, if I have to physically gamble it will be friends and family members that I already know.

The smartest people in the world are not gamblers, and the few that are considered to be very smart use their knowledge to win big in gambling, like those mathematicians that are so good in math that they form their own gambling strategy and it worked for them.

My own believe is that gambling can't make you smart, because anything that requires luck more than skills makes you vulnerable, if skills is the most important many people will have good news almost everyday to share about gambling, the most effective thing you can do is to be very good at managing your bankroll.

Know how much to risk, know when to leave and know when to take your profit.

Well I agree for critical thinking because you have to analyse the game or your next step especially for card games but for socialization except for board games, I don't see it having effect on majority of gambling games. In football for instance, it goes beyond socialization but whole unit of oneness because if the coach realize you are intentionally not releasing the ball to a certain player or players for your personal selfish reasons then you will be off the pitch and another player would replace you.

Therefore, I believe critical thinking is important, in some certain games you have to think fast like the speed of light like in football, to make quick, accurate and appreciated decision to the cheering of the spectators.

There really are skills that you can learn from from gambling. Maybe some people just hate gambling because of how it can affect people when they had too much of it. Well, too much or anything is dangerous right? And tho it's true that some aspects of gambling can involve strategic thinking and social interaction, it's important to note that gambling also comes with risks, including addiction and financial loss. Theres nonharm in being careful and responsible with our habits :)

I agree with you, somehow you can learn some life skills while doing gambling, like developing the correct mindset and goals, Practicing bankroll management ,and most especially you will excel in your self discipline. those skills that I've mentioned will assist you in developing your strategy by analyzing the game, In that way, It will increase your awareness and comprehensions in a situations. Learning new set of skills while gambling is one of the good benefits that we can get aside from earning money but be careful because once you didn't apply the skills that you've acquired will leads you in a negative outcome.

You know... Your employees may want to know if you gambles or not which your "yes" or "no" may stand an advantage or disadvantage to you which is considered if you are are if you are an addicted gambler?, Fun gambler? Or a responsible gambler?.
Addicted gambling would present you untrust Worthy before your employee, Fun gambling presents you unserious but a responsible gambling pictures you to be trust Worthy, careful/mindful and a productive serious one before your employees which offers you a safe opportunity.

The nature of your job would also determine the nature of gambling your are exposed to if either a skill-based or chance-based categories before such terms to enhance problem solvings of differs where you have to crack your brain as you plays or you just have to play as a raffle draw.

The nature of the company you seeks for employment may also be considered if your socialism would offer you benefits to be employed because there are series of organizations with the aim to general profits that doesn't look forth socialism on either introverts or extroverts as an advantage but however, on every organizations socialism is essentially necessary whereas, there is a networking amongst colleagues, clients or even the executive bodies.

It depends on how the person views gambling, even though it may not always have a negative impact, at least we know that the more that gambling generates, it is still always negative, perhaps you are only a small portion of the people who have managed to benefit from gambling directly, whether it makes you a people who think critically or are socialists and may have an influence on your work too.

But sometimes not everyone succeeds in getting good results from the gambling they do, on average gamblers never take their positive side to do the right thing, in fact most of them spend their time gambling without thinking about work, let alone thinking critically and socially because they are too busy with gambling.  ;)

Risk management is my favorite skills I can use on my career that I improve a lot through gambling. My side hustle is being a financial advisor which I assess all my client investments based on the risk appetite they have. Through gambling environment, I can explain well how risk work and what’s real impact through investment.

Being careful too is one of the skills I develop on gambling which I always apply to my client investment.

Whats poker without a sharp mind and a sharper tongue, right? Some people gamble because they are good at it, but others do it for the thrill, the unknown, and the dance with chance. Each time you roll the dice or shuffle the cards, its like getting a mini-lesson in chance, risk assessment, and making quick decisions. Skills, yes, but the excitement makes them better! About those HR people now. Isnt it interesting? Its important that they can stay calm in stressful scenarios and make plans on the spot. What a seasoned player! There is a thin line between a measured risk and a reckless gamble, though, so lets not get too excited. How to open it? Playing smart by knowing the odds. Cheers to the risk-takers, who are the unsung business thinkers

But we still have to remember that we are using gambling where we will not always be able to make money. There will be more times for us to experience loss than win, so we must prepare ourselves to accept it.
Most gamblers cannot accept the loss and try to improve their skills, but they still have to remember that the chance of losing will still be greater than winning. By realizing this, they will not be too hard on themselves in their pursuit of winning because they realize that getting a win will not be easy.
And they also have to be aware of the dangers of gambling addiction that can come without them realizing it, so this requires better self-control.

having critical thinking skills can help gamblers to be able to solve their own problems, analyze, and easily find new opportunities, which will help gamblers to achieve success in their games

this also makes it easier for gamblers to understand a problem and find out what is best for them to choose. even though it is quite difficult to train this skill, this is the most important skill that gamblers must have

Socialization developed from gambling activities is important in the real world. Only the extreme introverts would probably say otherwise. You don't come off as awkward when talking to people at work or at any place if you already know how to socialize. A positive attitude is great but it's not a substitute for this particular skill.

I think gamblers develop these skills very well. But they distort the meaning of these skills and this is certainly very bad.

Critical thinking? Players who are on the verge of addiction are ready to make quick, and often wrong decisions. Take out a loan to recoup ? Easy. Sell a car and a phone to try to win at roulette or betting? Easy. And that's bad.

So is socialization. If a player has lost control, he will lie and steal from everyone. At the same time, they say that such liar players are very good at persuading and putting pressure on pity, saying that money is needed for someone's funeral. And this is terrible, it would be better if they were self-contained.

I already have those two mentioned even before I started gambling and these skills can also be learned in career development school, and some people honed these two skills through experience.
The only benefit I got from gambling is the excitement I experienced whenever I am feeling exhausted from my job, it's better than having a drink going out, or even watching movies and concerts.
There's no feeling like a roller coaster ride and there are only a few places where you will experience this the best place is on casinos whether online or offline which casinos are known as entertainment portals, I don't think casinos can build you a better character than what schools and experience can do.

However, some gamblers hide their gambling activities from other people. especially now that gamblers play online. Social life may not be that important for some gamblers with certain characteristics.
but when we are in a work environment where colleagues have the same gambling activities as we do. sharing stories with colleagues will be fun.
positive attitude in gambling, I still don't have the picture. is when we lose and we will only think we are not with the goddess Fortune. everyone has their own emotions. some can control it and some find it difficult to control. Of course, you've never seen gamblers who get angry or slam their devices when they lose in an online game.

Sad to say those skills works only in gambling rather than in a job. Why? It is because job and gambling is two different things. Though it can be applied on vice versa but based on my observation with the people I know who are into gambling they lose temper so easily, they developed something that is unnatural to them like cursing, impatient and many more.

Do you really think gamblers are happy with their day job? I think no, because some of them are just thinking of it and even make it their topic during office hours and sometimes lose focus on their respective job. They were excited to go home just to gamble. This is like an addiction. We all know that not all gamblers are responsible and only a few are disciplined. Maybe we are part of the smallest percentage of responsible gamblers who has those skills without affecting our daily job.

Yes that's right, for the problem of what impact or what benefits they will get from gambling it really depends on their goals and mindset when it comes to gambling and their views as well, of course if you really want to get the real benefits of the activity then you should be able to apply some precautions that you think are effective to do, and vice versa if you consider gambling as an activity to earn then obviously for the matter of impact it will definitely be very bad and you will feel it yourself later. So no casino is evil or cheating you but all the impacts you will receive are according to your own decisions and point of view of treating gambling itself. Even though for example you can make money from gambling, it is still basically negative as you said, why? because there is something negative that you never expected that is waiting for you in the future, as we know that the more you are serious in responding to victory with joy, it is clear that great disappointment will definitely befall you someday, because the fact is that casinos build gambling systems only to benefit them not you, so don't be happy yet.

It is basically true that maybe only a few people can really benefit from gambling, because most of the gamblers usually always apply the wrong mindset so that they experience more adverse effects than benefits. Of course, getting results in accordance with what we want is very difficult, none other than because it is gambling that everything is always unpredictable, sometimes we can get a win even though we never hoped before but luck comes by itself, I think this is already a strong reason that this activity is nothing more than luck, so we should not overdo it. On the other hand I'm sure for those who spend a lot of time just gambling it's because they want something that is beyond their capabilities, such as wanting to win consistently when the casino will not allow all of that to happen.

There are people out there thate are not gamblers nut have these two skilss that you have mentioned OP. Also a gambler woth these two skills can't win the house hedge and he always secure more losses than profit. So how have these two skills help this gambler positive. It is not good for you to use your gambling ideas with your job because those ideas are not accurate and as a matter of fact, it is too risky.

Socialization is something that depends on the individual, there are some gamblers that don't like to socialize with people because they love a private life but that doesn't mean that they wouldn't be efficient in their jobs. Online jobs give one privacy, and a choice to socialize or not, also with an online casino. The bottom line is that it all depends on the gambler's life style.

In my opinion, it depends on the person, if the person basically has talent that is already within him, he will gamble, use drugs or other negative activities, if basically the person has great talent as mentioned by the OP, skills in work and also socialization which is good, I don't think it has anything to do with gambling. And I think many people are like that, because it has been there since birth and maybe it just developed and coincidentally there were gambling activities and thought it was because of gambling.
As far as I know, most gambling always conflicts with something, including work and socialization. Gambling can interfere with work due to time, finances and thoughts and this will make work messy or neglected because of gambling activities.
And in socialization, in my opinion, gamblers tend to be more silent, aloof and always behave in a relaxed manner. And during socialization in gambling, most of the discussion is about gambling and has nothing to do with socialization outside of gambling because the discussion will vary according to the activities being carried out at that time and with many different people. And this will make him mentally weak, if he doesn't have the abilities that already exist within him.

I may be seeing things wrongly, because what I see is that most people who are involved in gambling are people who focus too much on games and move away from other people and as a consequence of this attitude they move away from other people. , they become people with serious problems socializing with other people, this happens even with a person who has been in a job for many years and when they start to play games of chance or even normal games, I'm talking about computer games, Playstation, xbox and other consoles the person starts to dedicate all their time to games and starts to distance themselves from the workplace. for example, let's say a person works in a company for more than 10 years and in these 10 years he has made many friends

On the weekends he goes out with his work friends to have fun, but one day he discovers casino games and starts playing, he has to work on weekdays so he has little time to play, so he starts playing all day on weekends and telling his friends at work not to look for him because he is busy, this type of behavior can be seen in many people who work and then get involved with games, and it doesn't stop there, After he starts to ignore his friends, he starts to ignore his relatives and if he has a wife and children, he also starts to ignore them. Even in cases where the person is not yet dominated by addiction, the behavior of this gambling is exactly as I described.

By this I mean that I do not agree that players are very social people who can think critically, to have critical thinking they would need to be people who are more focused on their work and who pay a lot of attention to the company's employees and how the company works, something that It's difficult for many players, because they just focus on the games, the only thing that goes through their heads is that they finish their job early and they rush to play early. I saw some people in my country who are like this, they always think that the days must pass quickly to get to the weekend because there is no work at the company on the weekends, so they have more time on the weekends to play.

I think the advantages outweigh the benefits, they may have these two skills you've mentioned that will likely make them candidates for the jobs but if their employers and their co-workers find out that they are into gambling, this could ruin their chances to remain on the job or promotions, they have all those skills but the company always look for reputation when hiring and maintaining their employees, and how about your co-workers they might create a big issue on your gambling activities and this may ruin your image in the company you're working with.
There are characters that gamblers can develop to be better for their jobs but their being a gambler will backfire on their reputation and character.

The brain works differently for every player, and not all would possess the benefits gotten through gambling. Many players already envision gambling as a bad habit hence, they careless about its benefits. Your illustration best describes naive indoor gamblers, who, by locking themself in a room, are moved by the funds over the fun and benefits they could earn. Wishing to be left alone. Young video game players, face this type of challenge. Yet, contrarily, they'll still find it very fun to discuss the game with peers, who also have the game. PC games and online gambling can help critical thinking, but derails socializing. Especially with non gamer. Why do CEOs and top managers of companies participate in offline gambling? because they're lots of gamblers topping their industry. I've played Poker with managers topping US companies. And they've been gamblers even before reaching the managerial seat. I made this point, to help readers understand that despite being gamblers they still climbed ahead of others in the company. How do you expect such a player in your illustration to be successful. If they can't control their gambling habit. In gambling and in their work place they'll definitely fail. There is always lots of time for people to gamble. These type of people bring bad name to gambling. Because they lack being focused in executing their daily task. It doesn't happen to gamblers alone. Take for instance, an employee that has an appointment to see his girlfriend during the weekend. If he has less self control, wouldn't he act like the gambler you just described? Such people can't delay gravity, and it has nothing to do with gambling or video games.

Speaking from my own experiences, handling those betting risks forced me to make choices under some serious pressure.  Shockingly, that skill seems applicable in all kinds of situations.  Also, keeping my cool with money on the line - a common theme when you gamble - has really helped me stay composed when work gets stressful. So, yeah! Gambling can actually teach some useful life skills, despite its risky nature.

I say the biggest thing that gambling contributed to me as someone who pursues a professional career is the way it helps you manage your stress and pressure levels. Initially I lack self-control and I am often driven by my emotions more than my brain and logic, but as soon as I was able to finally break the code to better manage your gambling habits and discipline yourself to save bankroll and your future, I find that not only did it help me save money and be more disciplined, it also helped me gain proper management of my temper, emotions, and stress level during intense situations. I say this is the biggest contribution that gambling could give you if you're looking for a job, but as with everything, this is not gambling-specific, you can also gain these skills in other fields besides gambling.

IMHO, it's the same as the actual games that we play nowadays online.

There's always the critical thinking where we need to apply that for decisions that we need. But the difference with gambling, of course there is a money that's on the line that you need to take care of.

And the same goes with socializing, you make new friends in online casinos and the same goes with online games that we play. We're increasing our network and as they say, network is net worth. LOL.

Yes, so this means that this isnt really just that talking about gambling games but also in other games as well or things that we are dealing off with. We do know that these
kind of characteristics could really be enhanced out on those various ways on which you could really be able to make yourself something more better if you are really that
sensible or really that mindful about on what you are doing. Enhancing those personal qualities and behaviors could really be achieved if you are really that been exposed
into certain conditions which it isnt really limited only by this kind of scenario but also with other situations in life on which it would really be causing
up that kind of changes or awareness of things which it would really be something beneficial on your part.

Dude, you just made me remember about the things like "working under pressure" which we're experiencing in gambling too. We bet, we take risk and we become pressure.

And you're right that it's applicable in many aspects of our lives and situations.

A lot of things is being taught to us by gambling but many don't seem to look at that part because they're only thinking about, gamblers are bad people. We don't learn, we lose money and after that comes with nothing.

But critically thinking, how do we make friends online while gambling? Or you mean if you do chat people in the casino chat box? Well probably but I don't think I can rely on the friendship of people on the casino chat for a friendship that is meaningful and moreover you can also get scam one way or the other from their if you meet someone with bad intention. I can only associate with a physical friend offline.

Just look at our forum, we're gamblers and we make friends here. And yes, in the chat box, when we see usual names that we get to gamble everyday. We chat with them.

I don't know about you but socializing doesn't mean that you need to befriends with them.

I'm not thinking about getting scammed there but just typica socializing and having some good chitchat.

Being exposed in different situations will make you learn new things and that's in gambling as well. Aside from the given skills that have been mentioned, there are a lot more for sure.

Yes critical thinking skills and socialization skills are indeed developed over a long period of time as you gamble on specific games not just any games. These are games that you bet against another user and not against the casino itself. Table games gives you the greatest place to build up your critical thinking and analytical skills as well as socialization skills too. In games like slots you play alone and you don't require socializing or critical thinking and analysis. You click a button, it the wheels and the outcome is produced within few minutes.

the wider your network, the easier it will be for you to see opportunities, that is a real thing that happens, when you have lots of friends it will be easier for you to gain knowledge and also profits, you will get new things that you have never experienced before. Gambling is something that requires money, and forever there will be many people who try hard to make a profit from it, whether they are gambling business owners or gamblers themselves, maybe you will get big relationships when you gamble, and you open a business together, who know! haha

Yes online gambling may be a reason but you have to be a complete shut in to not even learn how to socialize.

I agree that it's fun. People who interact with others usually have some common interest like certain sports so that's one way gambling could help. You may have some little arguments and will probably bet against each other on the spot.

This can also encourage you to be more responsible and always stay in budget, this is what I’ve learned the most with gambling. This could be the positive side of gambling but still it can out weight it through its negative side especially if you can’t control yourself. Gambling is still risky, don’t make this as your primary reason to gamble because there’s a lot of way to earn such skills by not losing that much.

Some gamblers try to keep the gambling as their professional business,but it is not the wise decision.Because the gamblers who get continuous loss will get into the emotional imbalance in the game.So he allow his emotion to play every game,this made the continuous loss again.So the gambler get addicted,gambler addicted always loss many times.The gambler get loss because of losing the self control in the gambling addiction.The gambler who get addiction will loss many times because of the loss of self control in the game.Gambling addiction should be overcome by the individual gambler to be successful in gambling.

If you will indeed think that this path will give you income, then, you will learn quick that you are wrong at this thinking.
Being responsible is I believe, gambling can teach you. Because if not, you will find out soon that you will be in deep trouble with your finances.
Discipline is what you need here to enjoy the games without encountering issues. Because if you will stay with your limits, you won't get screwed.

I do not really see this applicable to online gambling.

Co-workers that are not gambling too can socialize together. Some peoole will have things in common and become friends with another person because of many things the person is doing which is similar to his. This may start because both of them are seeing themselves in a casino but online gambling may not be a good reason.

It can go beyond this because there are other things that make people socialize, especially because they are co-workers and if they have similar way of seeing things right and wrong.

It's also followed with time, effort and money because when you have many friends, you need to going out with them. If you're just only know their name and their face, they will not offer you something special since they see you almost like a stranger.

Don't forget there's no guarantee your friends will give you an opportunity because the priority for their family is higher than for friends.

The only benefit of gambling I like it is when I hit near max wins or max wins from my playing sessions,socially I haven't seen any improvement,if at all dis-improvement as socially speaking when I have had a huge play session and I lost and go out with my family I tend to talk a lot less than I normally do.

The opposite though is great and helps me talk much better when I go out with my family or friends I tend to talk a lot more and people really laugh with my jokes,so I can say overall gambling is what my mood depend on most of the time and I behave based on what I have experienced in my last betting session.

You can only have the positive mindset on gambling when you gamble responsibly and have discipline but then I believe it is same of same when you are not discipline then you are likely not to be able to manage the bankroll. The skill of money management is such a big one but where you can not manage the little you have, then if you see big one you are likely to misuse it. Having a smart way to budget and management of it, is such abig advantage to proper reasonable gambling.

You can build your self esteem and socializing with other people if you are gambling in an actual casino areas but is it applicable if you're doing gambling thru online site? since a lot of gamblers more likely to choose playing online casino site rather than going outside because it is convenient for them.

If you are gambling online, this may not help the socialization, but it will be good for land based gamblers to socialize. I can be gambling and my co-workers to be gambling but of which we may not really get close because of that if it is online gambling. I may not even bother to let anyone know that I am gambling. There are also other things that can bring socialization that are not gambling related.

Critical thinking might play a huge rule with our gaming activities or action done per bets we place since we need to think some scenarios or count some win or lose encounters to get a huge chance to win.

But I don't think socialization will play a huge part on our gambling activities since we can play without anyone come to our side and sometimes this is just total disturbance especially if they are there talking nonsense also suggesting that things we don't like. Also huge disadvantage with it is they will ask some part of our winnings since some of those people will think that its our obligation to give something to them since you win.

I may find some of it effective but not always it is so if you think you are comfortable with methods or strategies you use then its fine after all you are the one who enjoy your games played.

Dont know OP has added socialization to his skill list, but gamblers seems to be a very close people. Dont know if gamblers socialize much, as many prefer to be silent and concentrate, and if we talk about online gambling, that few real gamblers really use chat (I mostly see people that try to get tips or obtain rain money in chat). But what really gambling develops are cold headed and being able to work under pressure skills. Because without them, you would either lose or be broke.

Gambling is associated with improved social and critical thinking, which is both intriguing and perplexing. When gambling, hurry and risk drive critical thought, not thorough, complicated analysis. Gambling involves rapid decision-making. This is unlike how people make decisions at work, where they take their time and discuss options. Comparing gambling judgements to professional critical thinking is pointless. Internet gambling is popular, but it doesn't offer real-life friendships. It's done alone without social cues or teamwork like in a corporation. If you don't retain an open mind and learn, gambling doesn't automatically transition to effective workplace social skills. Still true when gambling with others, such in board games. Skills you develop in one area may not transfer to another

The online gambler can only socialize on social media. As online casinos have boards for users to communicate on the website. But, the disadvantage of online gambling is the issue of not physically associating with other gamblers. I was wondering about the relationship between the other ways of getting those two skills outside gambling and possessing it through gambling. The aim is having the skills, not the medium we got it. I'm only concerned about the importance of gambling as one of those multiple medium. For gamblers who don't possess such skill to be aware of the possibility of becoming better conversationalist, by communicating with follow gamblers in the casino or gambling room. As we can easily discuss with other gamblers, regarding their strategies and ideas. The feeling of getting ignored is quite low while trying to talk, for the first time, to a fellow gambler. So, when players begin to envision that they can actually start a conversation. And end up making it fun for the next person. They'll easily use that skill in their offices. And improve their interpersonal relationship skill. We can't neglect the fact that gambling can offer such skills, because there are other ways of possessing the skill. 

Anyone who wants to take gambling as a business or a means to make passive income is doing so at their own risk since gambling result is filled with uncertainties and at that, and no one can tell what direction the next game will go so by that, so you may only rely on your luck and take the risk regardless.

For me, I can never take gambling as a means of income or as a profession since I am aware of gambling's resultant effects if it be pursued too closely to meet a wrong target,  since gambling shouldn't be taken for such aims but just for fun and nothing more than that.

I think that socialization or interpersonal skills will depend on the nature of a person. There are two kinds of people, some are introverts and some are extroverts, among extroverts, there is a category of people who don't realize that they are not introverts but are extroverts with just a requirement of some polishing and the environment where they can open up their mind and their communication and connection abilities can grow and they can become more open-minded and easy going with things.

Such people will benefit from gambling or other activities where they might be communicating one-on-one with other participants and players as that will develop confidence in them. However, if a person is an introvert from the beginning, they will barely be able to develop such skills no matter how much they try.

You don’t have to be a gambler before you think critically, mate. We have many people who think critically before making decisions and not gamblers; however, do gamblers even think critically before making a decision or placing a bet? If that is what you are thinking, then I can tell you that gamblers nowadays don’t do that based on how the team is performing. Can we call that critical thinking? No, mate, so just know that critical thinking can be developed by ourselves, not even gambling; it’s something that we can develop naturally and utilise in our daily lives.
 
You know when they said that anything that has an advantage must have a disadvantage? This sentence is also applicable here. Gambling helped my life before. I can’t deny that because before, I was using my last money in my pocket to place a bet just to make some changes and survive. by then When we don’t have a job, we ask for help from elders to get what we want, and that was when I gambled. But currently, I often gamble, but not like before again, because right now I do it for fun, unlike before, when I gambled when I needed money.

Sometime when we talk about critical thinking in gambling games it may sound like a statement out of proportion,  since most games don't require some form of thinking e.g dice, which is just a game of numbers and luck, so there be no critical thinking when you want to roll the dice unless you want to think of the games since what is required of you is just to roll the dice and wait to see the lucky number.
But one of the essential attributes of gambling is in the area of socialization that you mentioned, gambling helps us to socialize with others easily since we may be on the same table and facing the same game when playing against the house, but this can only happen in physical casinos and not online casinos.

That could be an advantage if you are a long time gambler but still gamble responsibly. You gained higher experiences on the development of critical thinking skills because you are exposed to different game analysis and creating decisions that support your critical thinking. You are faced with different challenges to win, so most probably you have wider critical thinking analysis than those who are not exposed to gambling.

However, on part of socialization, not really limited to gambling but as long as you are used to mingle yourself with different types of people, you will enhanced more of your socialization skills. Of course, with having positive attitude, rest assured that you can socialize well with others.

In fact, humans are social creatures and easily blend into society, so it's not just gambling that helps us socialize with other people. We can even socialize with people in our neighborhood and engage in interesting discussions with them, and we don't need to gamble. Gambling is an activity that can be a place to chat with fellow gamblers without any age limit. Everything changed when online casinos existed, but we still chat with people via the chatbox provided by the casino. That's where our discussions or chats move, and this can reach players from various countries so that we can find out what was happening in other countries at that time.

the OP just want to create positive impact of gambling here.  :P but yeah, i do agree, such skills can be acquired in other worthwhile activities. we are just looking for positive side of this industry to people. but ok, we can learn those skills while we are at gambling, then why not use to your own advantage and improve yourself in other aspects of your life?

That would be better to do because at least we can get something better than hoping to win from gambling, which will be difficult for us to get. If we can use it for other aspects and it is useful for us and provides opportunities to improve ourselves in other aspects, it will be more valuable to continue doing it because our potential will also increase. This will have a positive impact on our lives, which will provide something better too. If we work in a company and can increase our potential through this, it will clearly provide a good assessment from the company so that we can be promoted to a higher position. But if we bring that to gambling, we can indeed prevent bad things, but that's all while we can still lose as usual.

It would really be that a costly kind of learning on which this is something that you could gain free on other involvement which it wont really be that needed for it to be on gambling field.
You arent really just paying on something or spending but also you are really that putting up yourself at risks on becoming that addicted and this is something that you must avoid.You cant really make that yourself tending to gamble just because you are really that planning to learn up something with those kind of skills or behavior which is something that you could get on
different conditions or situations in life? It doesnt really make sense honestly.
You can benefit it naturally and there's no need for you to spend up money first just to make your socialism to be better. lol

Gambling or not, I still think it depends on the person as there are also who are shy and won't socialize to the people around them. For those who are not like that, it can still/also depend on what type of gambler they are or what type of game they are playing. But for sure they will socialize once they are over with their session or once they are on their breaks.

There are casinos who are not social based. Meaning they don't have a chatbox, personal message function, and a forum. I don't care if I'm playing here. I still enjoy the game anyway and there is still social media sites where I can use if I want to socialize, other than hanging out with the people out side.

The 2 reasons as stated by the OP as to why gambling and gamblers are mostly hired are concrete.

The world is driven by people who have certain features; like critical reasoning, but it doesn't just end at critical reasoning, what you have constructed with your reasoning ability has to be birthed through a process and it needs to be communicated to the public, the more reason why socialisation is next on the list.

After thought processes has birthed solutions, these solutions has to be utilised by customers but until you socialise, you can not know how best to engage from a standpoint of marketing than sales.

People tend to pay more attention to the uses of your solutions and how it prioritises them than you trying to attack their finances. The truth is, when you meet their needs, you must be rewarded.

That's why companies hire those kind of applicants more than the regular people

In a social setting like a casino, even shy people are slightly affected by their surroundings because of their natural need to connect with others. What if these settings affect how people act and connect, even if they are naturally social?

Regarding non-social gambling, you're okay with the privacy they provide. Actually, isnt this a limited view of how complicated gaming is? Gambling is a microcosm of human contact at its core; its not just a solo activity. Shouldnt we not consider an important part of gambling's appeal: the thrill of sharing the experience with others, feeling the highs and lows together?

I am not sure of the socialization part. What you say is true. But true for how many. To be able to win in gambling you have to be a critical thinker, yes. Second of all, socialization. How many gamblers have you seen gone outside or to casinos to gamble? I bet there are many but not as many as online gamblers. As you see, nowadays many of the gambling activity are done through online. Online betting platforms, sports bet, casinos etc. How are we able to socialize there? There is no chat option there.

I actually do agree with you on this. I've been in the chat room of Stake.com and I can the different people discussing things, saying a simple hello, taking out their anger, sharing their wins, and more. I think the chatbox provided by every gambling site will play a big role in all the gamblers.
Socializing is important as sometimes other gamblers can agree with you and it will somehow ease the pain of losses because it is not just you who have the same experience.
The greetings can also lighten up the day, a simple "Good Morning" can make the whole day of someone who is alone in his room and only have the chatbox as his medium to talk to other people.
There are gambling sites which doesn't provide a chatbox and I think that's somehow lonely. I have been used to watching the right side of my monitor which keeps on moving with people chatting and sharing their day.

If you look at what you do every day, it can be categorized as useful as what you mentioned, socializing and quick response is your habit that reflexively responds to something with critical thinking until it becomes a habit.
You consider it part of the results of your hobby, I think you have been doing it for a long time and use your money to pass the empty moments either in the office or in the house. ;) Likewise with other people's hobbies, for example from guessing or playing with other brain teasers, can get the same response on the five senses. I agree with you that any activity is useful as long as it does not harm others and enjoy it.

I don't see how gambling helped your life because you didn't mention any wins or anything, and if you did win some money through it when you were in need, I would say you were lucky because the reality of gambling is that you cannot depend on gambling when you are in need of money because you will most likely lose what you already have in gambling and then regret your decision. I know that a person never leaves hope and keeps looking for ways to change their lives when they are needy but gambling isn't that way.

A lot of people turn their faces towards gambling and lotteries when they have a limited amount of money and want to have more but it's not the right thing to do. Losing $100 in pursuit of getting $1,000 is not something wise in my opinion, that's why, one shouldn't gamble whatever little resources they have only to gain more.

Socialization only happens when you play outside, not online, maybe you know some accounts and their names, but I don't think that is socialization per se, although everyone of us here might have different connotations about socialization, at least for me, it should be physical, like talking to them face to face.

But if it just a chat and nothing else, that should not be considered contact and socialization.

For critical thinking, I think you could consider yourself as street wise or something if you are into gambling. I mean you have the advantage for non gamblers specially if you are in the streets. But we all know that there could be levels of critical thinking as well that gambling can't give to us, in my opinion.

If we can get it for free from other places, we shouldn't have to spend any money and instead get the opportunity to improve these abilities so that they can really be useful in our lives. Of course, learning it will give you even better skills, especially since it is free. And rather than getting it through gambling, which can actually give us problems, it's better for us to look for it from other places while we can also learn things that will be useful for improving other skills. Of course, it will help us in developing ourselves well without causing new problems because if we learn from gambling, it might give us more problems before we can even learn the lesson.

This could be a good benefit that we can get from gambling aside from the possible profit, and yes if you do this activity most of the time you become more of what you are doing and might develop the skills that can help you for your everyday activity. Socializing might not applicable most of the time since some gamblers prefer to gamble on their own, and have fun alone especially those introvert gamblers and the online gamblers too.

I don't think gambling develops a person's critical thinking and socialization, as those skills are more dependent on a person's level of education and willingness to socialize with people.

I don't think it's a good idea to develop critical thinking in an area that is very much related to luck, as luck introduces a significant margin of error in any analytical process. 
 
I know several gamblers who have been gambling for a long time and all of them have different levels of socialization. Some of them prefer to work in a team, and some of them work online and prefer to minimize socializing with people in real life.

I know people who possess these skills naturally are not gamblers, and not all gamblers possess these skills I also know people who are gamblers but are introverted, so it's not because a person is into gambling that doesn't mean that the person will possess these characteristics.
The only benefit of being a gambler is you have a platform where you can release your anxiety, depression, and loneliness but when it comes to career development you learn it from your upbringing and from schools you attended and not as a gambler, I have a lot of friends who are good in socializing but they are against gambling, so it's an exception rather than facts.

Ultimately just because someone gambles doesn't mean we know much else about them.  Stereotypes might not apply.  And while parts of that world could build useful skills, it shouldn't replace addressing the root of personal or professional challenges.

I think it comes back to each of them, basically there are many ways that we can do if we really want to build socialization with other people, there are many intermediaries that we can do to be able to achieve it and that is outside of gambling activities. I think they are the only ones who try to make excuses by thinking that gambling can improve socialization or good moral relationships with many people.

On the other hand even though I think that it is an excuse for them but there is also a point that when we visit a physical casino then obviously we will meet a lot of people which of course we will be able to get to know a lot of people or improve socialization relationships with other people especially those we have just met, it is good but there is a risk impact that we will face because we choose gambling intermediaries as an alternative to socializing with other people. And also on the other hand as you said since the emergence of online-based casinos, our socialization opportunities will be reduced and even for myself honestly I never socialize with other gamblers when I gamble at online casinos, I am less interested in using the chat feature to other users because I think there is no chemistry that runs when socialization runs virtually.

You are right because we can socialize at the same time as doing physical activities and meeting other people. This will allow us to build relationships with other people and help improve our communication with other people. That is one of the lessons on how we can communicate with other people and gain a lot of knowledge by exchanging stories with other people, which might benefit us.

If we visit a physical casino and meet lots of people, it can also help us socialize with them so that relationships may be formed between them, which may provide good opportunities for other things. And as long as we only use gambling as entertainment, we can definitely get something from our chats with people in the casino because we will definitely find out things that we didn't know before. We can also socialize in online casinos via chatbox because there are lots of people who gather and greet each other. It will be like the experience we had during the last pandemic, where we could only chat with people we know via phone without being able to visit them in person.

Professional way of critical thinking and what gamblers does in gambling have got difference. Gamblers look for a way to overcome the loss, which is to try the strategies and simple tricks. Not everyone succeed, only the luckiest succeed whereas the majority end up losing. In professional manner of critical thinking it needs to give effective outcome of atleast 80% success.

When it comes to socializing most of the gamblers feel isolated because they weren't able to be successful as the fellow gamblers. Through gambling many things can be learnt, but how good it helps with our life is still a question. It turns effective when people consider gambling as a means of entertainment and not as a source of income.

Individual differences.
In my opinion, the only skill a gambler develop which could be beneficial is risk management but this is only evident to those who practice such thing since as we all know, not everyone in this industry are responsible of their gambling activities. Also, when a particular skill or characteristic is being used to two or more different settings then the result would and could not be as effective as it was with the setting of origin. Perhaps with the mentioned skill of socialization, wherein if it would be used in profession, then that would be different 'coz we have roles in a company or with any working environment unlike in gambling games wherein we are all equal as bettors.

Even with just those simple transactions or interrogations with other people with those common daily living routine would really be just that enough for you to be able to learn with those skills and not really that necessary
for you to deal up with gambling just for you to be able enhance or would really be able to learn up those skills. Its not really needed or necessary. You are just basically putting up yourself on potential addiction
considering that gambling is really a risky thing but if you do find yourself to be that  responsible then it wont really be a problem or an issue. Benefit about gambling? I dont see one but rather it would
be just for pure entertainment.

You wont really be putting up yourself on such problem if you are really just that responsible towards your spending or fund management. Gambling isnt bad as long you are responsible.
If you are specifically trying out to enhance your personal or socialism skills then it wont be necessary to deal up with gambling. There's tons of options on which
you could be able to deal with.

Well, we cannot that that 99% of the people fail in gambling and the reason for this is that if that were the case, why would people be willing to gamble and try their luck? There is something in gambling which compels everyone to take risks and try to change the fortune of their life. There are people who have changed their fortune and therefore the other gamblers want to try their luck too.


Gamblers have to face the loss in some games and win in some games. What gamblers need to do is to find a way to lose less money while gambling and win more money in gambling. There are a number of ways and strategies to achieve this and one of the most effective ones is money management.
Only if you know how to manage money and how much to gamble in each bet according to your portfolio, only then you will be able to survive in this gambling world.

You are right because by interacting using daily life routines with people, we can learn these skills so that we can at least improve our ability to socialize. When we are in a casino, we will probably have a desire to learn useful skills to improve the skills we have so that we will benefit from what we do in gambling. The benefits of gambling for each person will definitely be different depending on what they do and want to get, so we don't need to follow what other people do if it doesn't match what we want.

I agree with you because being responsible when gambling can prevent us from problems that will arise, which many other gamblers may have already faced. And because we can manage our expenses and the funds we use for gambling, we can also reduce the number of losses we will receive. We can determine how much money we can lose and accept the defeat without having anything to regret because we already know that in gambling, there will definitely be losses.

I don't think critical thinking has any kind of classification, critical thinking is just critical thinking. It's more like wisdom that you're talking about more than critical thinking since there's an applied field in it.
I wouldn't agree to this exactly but I understand why you think that way, socialization isn't really a strong benefit of gambling yes I do believe that because being a benefit from gambling, I feel like you're better off doing other things that might help you with socializing with other people instead of just gambling. I think that no matter how much we want to believe that gambling is for entertainment only, a lot will not think that way because people want the quick money possibility that gambling offers.

Critical thinking is nothing like what you are making it to be, everyone has their field or place where they apply their critical thinking, you can't apply this to everything, a genius gamer can't be a genius fighter in a battle ground, they will lose their life fast.

Even not all casino games need critical thinking ability, maybe poker games but others is just you and your luck trying to make a way, it doesn't make you a winner of every round when you gamble.

Do you know how many introverts are in the world today? Been this way doesn't make them a Dullard, some of them are so smart than many people out there, yet they shy away from people, been socialised isn't for everybody, and this doesn't mean they can't accomplish anything, I as a person don't like getting involved with people, it still doesn't make me a failure.

I dont see gambling as way to earn more, gambling is not a job, it can be an investment for the owners of the company itself but let's face the lets face the fact gambling is never a means of earning, you can go poor overnight because of gambling, you earn extra money by doing work that you were employed to do and agreement reached between you and the owner it might be an individual company, part-time job, but in gambling is not the same, you might not come back with the money you went to gamble with, so how do you make money from it, you are never sure of any outcome in gambling, this the reason why people tends to dislike gambling activity, they feel that it is addictive and poverty inclined.

I have witnessed how gambling can help in making an individual to be social because I have experience it myself. When you're a gambler, you'll want to socialize with others so you can gained from their experience on some things they know about a particular game. Gambling is a social activity therefore the more an individual get involves in gambling the more he or her social skills improve and that can be helpful in their place of work. Gamblers are usually very active and good communicators.

A gambler is always looking for a way they can think their way to success by looking for new strategy to use in winning the game they enjoy playing so this will also be helpful for an individual to have such skills and use it in helping the company grow. Gambling isn't totally bad as the society is making it look like. Any individual gambling rightly without getting addicted would have so many positive impact to the society starting from their work place.

It is difficult to create a chance of winning that reaches 80%, even if it is done by a professional gambler. Because gambling only gives a 50% chance of winning. Unless you are smart enough to be able to cheat when gambling. But cheating in gambling is not something we should do because it is too risky.


Of course, most people, to defend the gambling activities they do, will assume that they are only playing for fun, not profit.

And when gambling, never focus too much on continuing to pursue victory. but for the first time focus on how we can control gambling activities as best as possible. So we will always be able to avoid and minimize losses in gambling.

You know, I have never thought about that before. Does gambling improve your critical thinking and socialization? A very thought-provoking question, indeed!

I am sure that many gamblers have a lot of experience with other skill aspects as well. As to the other skills that a I could have learned by simply gambling with a passion: How about self-control, discipline, concentration, planning, risk-management and budgeting skills?

Although I would avoid telling people where I learned such skills, since gambling will probably be seen in a negative light to whoever you are trying to convince of your character and skill-set.

So far I have never come across anyone who eventually gave birth to critical thinking from the effects of gambling. This is very rare and probably hard to find. As for the impact it is more stressful quiet and often encountered easily explosive emotions every time they lose.  Luck is more pure and comes in unexpected ways.  Controlling critical thinking alone does not guarantee that luck can also be controlled.  The nature of the Socialization of gamblers  is that it is easier to attract people who do not gamble to follow them. Providing a tantalizing approach and then equally bringing them into the circle of addiction.

I think it's depend on what gambling a gambler play and the frequency of the bet, if it's luck-based gambling, it has to be fifty-fifty chance or lower. if it's sport gambling, there are 80% win rate at one attempt, but it provides very low odd/rewards, like putting bet on who will win the game Real Madrid vs Cadiz. lol

I think gambling is always luck-based bet at the start which potentially changes onwards. Poker for example, It's fifty-fifty or lower chance to before the cards are distributed, it changes after the cards are distributed. But when gambling is played on certain duration with some amount of bets, It will never be more than 50% chance of winning.

We often forget how daily interactions, especially in casinos, build our social and cognitive skills. Casinos are full of risk, reward, and human behavior. It's amazing how one can educate us about probability, decision-making, and emotional control. Casinos can improve talents, but do they promote positive social skills? Casinos are meant to evoke strong emotions and calculated risks. Instead of improving social skills, may this atmosphere promote transactional, even opportunistic behavior? Limiting oneself and accepting losses are crucial life skills. The question is whether gambling's unpredictability and focus on money really promote sensible financial conduct. Gamblers often get caught up in the thrill of what if, ignoring financial preparedness. Can we be responsible in an environment founded on uncertainty? Do we need to tread carefully in this strange situation?

All of that will be really useful or we can feel the benefits and wisdom if we bring the right goals, it is true that if we look at the positive aspects then maybe we will have  many new friends there. Of course, everyone has their own freedom to choose what alternatives or intermediaries they will make as a place to build good socialization with others. For myself, to be honest, if I have never known about gambling and if I have to choose, maybe I will prefer other alternatives which certainly do not have the risk of the possibility of things that are not wanted such as the bad effects of gambling.

It is likely that I would prefer other places such as for example a gym, karoke or other fun places that do not have long-term risks but can still get positive impacts such as one of them building good social relationships with other people. So the bottom line is that only they can choose it, I can't force them to choose something better, and maybe I would just hope that if you do choose gambling then you must be able to manage  everything well, especially applying self-control and some other limits so that you stay safe and don't end up with addiction.

It has been said before in many ways, but you said it briefly very well.

There are not two identical gamblers, and the attribution of behavioral or personality traits to the activity of gambling is like sayin' that the Taurus are closed-minded. And, tbh, if I had to hire somebody and I knew that one of the candidates is a gambler, it definitely wouldn't count as a positive point for him.

We should avoid to generalize when it comes to the benefits some gamblers can get out of this hobby, and I say this because even if there are indeed games in which you can get to know people from all walks of life and make all kind of new connections, this is only possible in some games, like poker, roulette, blackjack and other similar games, and that is assuming you are gambling at a physical casino.

However if your favorite games are dice or slots then you are not going to get many interactions that could help you to socialize with other gamblers.

I guess this will depend on what platform you use in gambling. If you are the type to use online website to bet and play, the chances are slim that you will be able to socialize because you are mainly focus on your game without interaction with other gamblers. Unless you have a community where you can share your ideas and talk to other gamblers. Meanwhile, if you are the type to visit physical casino establishments, it will be highly likely to develop intrapersonal skills that can be your edge over other people. Communication skills will be honed once you are surrounded with other people with various perspectives. So you might bring this to an interview and to the office as well. Showing collaboration and having a smooth talking skills will definitely get you somewhere.

In both, critical thinking is honed. It's really important for gamblers to know about risk assessment and management. Impulsive decisions do not have a place in gambling, otherwise you'll end up losing and you'll end up being stressed.

Definitely critical thinking and decision making would be the great factor or benefit of gambling. Me personally love critical thinking when gambled, first I am thinking about where should I guess in and the final is decision making. Even in real life we can use it not only in gambling, even when you are loosing you have the decision to make if you are going to continue or not.

Perhaps some people can change or improve their skills so they can socialize better through gambling, but some people don't because they are influenced by what is in the casino, so instead of being able to improve their skills, they fall into gambling. But it is true that casinos are meant to evoke strong emotions and have risks that must be taken into account by each gambler, so each gambler must realize that they need self-control when gambling in casinos. But when there are people who visit casinos and gamble and have the intention to use gambling as entertainment and a place to make new friends, maybe they will get something useful from visiting the casino. That is why we really need strong self-control so that we can avoid the temptations in casinos and avoid the desire to gamble excessively. Once we get our goal, we will leave the casino because we have got what we were looking for.

You are right in what you say because it all comes back to our purpose of going to the casino and how we can achieve what we want. But if our desires change when we gamble, we are no longer trying to get positive benefits from gambling but will instead get negative impacts from gambling because we have lost a few dollars. We will not think about making friends from the casino, but we will think about how we can get money from the casino, so we will only try once we can get money. Actually, we can continue gambling as long as we can control ourselves well because that is one of the keys to avoiding problems in casinos.

Perhaps you need to leave the casino for a while so you can take a break from gambling and also improve your social relations with the people around you. They will choose it, and hopefully, they won't choose the wrong path by making gambling a place to make money instead of wanting to use gambling as a way to make some new friends who might become business buddies.

I believe physical or land-based casinos can have other benefits as well for gamblers such as boosting their confidence. A person who is shy and doesn't talk or socialize much can have this vanish for sure after some time if they go to a land-based casino on a regular basis because they can interact with other gamblers and talk to strangers which will boost their confidence and make them feel like they can also ignite conversations and they won't be shy anymore.

A lot of people barely care about the losses when they go to land-based casinos because all they want to do is enjoy their time and experience the thrill, so even if they lose everything they have taken with them for gambling, they won't regret it because, at the end of the day, they had a very good time.

It's nice that someone's able to get some benefit out of gambling, I hope that this is the case for everyone that's gambling out there, for them to be able to get something positive out of gambling instead of just frustrations, anger and greed. As much as I congratulate OP for having gained those skills and seeing it improving his daily interaction with other people, I can't help but feel like this might not be applicable to other people, maybe you're already a social butterfly before you have gambled and it just so happens that you've improved more your already innate ability to socialize because sometimes there are people out there that's not really good at socializing and even when they gamble, they didn't improve in that aspect.

Don't think so, a person who frequents a physical casino, regardless of his game type, would find people who also participate in such games to associate with and share ideas. Players who think they need help can easily start a conversation with the person next to their slot machine. A times players can try convincing you not to play the predicted game in slot. Conversation always will erupt, leading to more intense one, which could make both parties friends. However, the whole aim is for fun purpose, whether their idea worked or you chose not to listen to them, and followed your choice. Unless the person doesn't want to associate, as most times we can't wait for players to talk to us first. The skill improves for people who wish to increase their social skill, they'll need to enter conversation with gamblers around them. Because they'll easily have a good conversation, without thinking of being neglected. Most people don't start conversation, due to the fear of getting snubbed or not having a nice talking time. But, when with fellow gamblers, some would have enough confidence to engage in the discussion. And they'll be equipped with more details to talk about regarding gambling. It all begins gradually, and sooner the player would adapt. With the newly achieved skill, the gambler can easily engage into discussion with colleagues in offices.

yeah.. I think that's The potential duality of casinos as both a platform for social interaction and a source of temptation. I have seen some individuals utilize casinos as a means to enhance their social skills and forge new connections. However, the allure of gambling and the carefully crafted atmosphere within casinos can easily spiral into excessive or problematic gambling behavior. All I feel about casinos are meticulously designed to evoke strong emotions and heighten arousal, making it challenging to maintain self-control. The flashing lights, enticing sounds, and constant promise of winning can cloud judgment and lead to impulsive decisions.

Maybe some individuals find value in visiting casinos for social purposes, because it's a good place to exercise caution and maintain strong self-control. I think that the decision to gamble should be made with careful consideration of the potential risks and benefits. For those seeking social interaction and entertainment, alternative avenues should be explored to minimize the exposure to the enticing yet potentially harmful environment of casinos.

Of course because it is a fact, all impacts in gambling will always depend on what you are looking for in gambling, if indeed your goals are positive and not out of line then maybe you will get some benefits  such as fun and many new friends as a result of socialization in your gambling involvement, I'm sure you will remain fine and will not experience some financial problems in particular. Changes in mindset and goals cannot be completely avoided, because after you play all possibilities are very possible, such as for example you come with the right goals but because you are disappointed because the final result is absolutely nothing good enough then that's where your consciousness will start to be tested, you will completely forget all the plans you prepared at the beginning including some restrictions and goals, and I'm sure after  that it's no longer fun that you are looking for but you will think of ways to restore something that has been lost there and also obviously that negative impact will continue to accompany you.

Yes that's right if indeed the negative impact always accompanies you then obviously the only option is that you have to take a little time to rest, give just a little time for  your brain and mind to rest, because I'm not sure you will be able to survive with so much pressure, the point is always to keep your self-control.

It's interesting because the thread deals a lot with what we get out of the game to apply it in our personal life, and in this very specific case you emphasize looking for a job and yes, there are some things that help, for example, outside of this it is analogous to being a musician, mastering one more language, or the simple fact that you are good at mathematics, but that you play chess is something that helps a lot with all this, in response to the critical question, you are right, it is always good to show confidence that whoever It will be there and it will solve and in terms of interpersonal relationships it is always good to have someone who likes everyone so that they do not create problems and that causes internal problems in a company, but I consider that the best skill there is is that those who have played chess, it helps them to think faster, to learn a language much faster and, above all, to predict, and by predicting they can intuit many possible problems that the company has or that there are some vulnerabilities that only we see, that is where nsotoro we have to enter.

There are people who are very dedicated to their jobs, but there are always ways to optimize the work so that they can rest a little more and that does not mean being lazy, it means that the work takes another role, and does not become boring or repetitive , so One of the things that I always focus on is knowing how to strategize with respect to time, so that I don't arrive on a Sunday to do a job under pressure that I need to do on Monday first time and that it is very difficult for me to finish it, sometimes in The sense of planning must have or exist the vision of how we will do it, he who has the vision of how he will do things, sees them first in his mind, and then materializes them, something like in chess, whoever plays chess is intelligent. , good strategy and knows how to manage his times, that's why I say that he knows how to play that sport is the best.

I'd really like to see how a gambler who plays dice all day on auto is training his critical thinking or social skills :D
Your average online gamer is training the same skills without risking any money and is probably going to be better at both.


I think that you're trying to justify gambling by looking for positives where there are none. Maybe you are making decisions faster now, but idt doesn't have to be associated with gambling but simply... getting older and gaining life experience. Our characters change as we get older.

You're right about that and it depends on who's doing it and what kind of gambling he's playing. And I mentioned that it's not impossible to get, but to get it is very difficult. And when it comes to sports betting, this type of gambling seems to promise us enough to be able to win, because in practice this gambling is very dependent on the analysis techniques we do and depends on the club that is competing. So the opportunity to be able to increase the possibility of us getting the victory is always there.

When we talk about card gambling, this depends on the knowledge and a trick that you play when gambling. because if you have a good enough trick to weaken your opponent, then you can win.

Doesnt matter on what type,kind or etc. of  gambling you are involved into on which you would naturally be able to get those kind of learnings along the way which it isnt really just that limited
on gambling activity but also in other things as well if we do speak about learning those kind of traits. Skills could be acquired normally basing up on the thing that you are dealing with. You are someone whose really that mindful when it comes to enhancing skills and behaviors then it would be naturally be coming into you and something that do talks about improving yourself into this aspect
on which this could really be that something that would really be beneficial for you on longer runs.

Just to add on your list, I think the benefit of gambling is that it teaches you how to manage your expenses. It also teaches you to practice decision-making skills since you are on the very platform where it should definitely matter.

While there may be thousands of negative aspects about gambling, there are also some positive effects that we cannot overlook. But in all honesty, it is just not worth it to gamble purely if you want to experience its positive effects.


I agree that it is definitely nice to see people to look for the positive on the negative. But in all honesty, there are far better alternatives that people can exercise instead of doing gambling. I do think that making gambling as a habit can be destructive at the very least- that is why make it only as a recreational activity instead as a hobby.
