You probably heard the negative sides of gambling, some people who dont gamble has this bad impression towards it and we cant blame them for thinking that way because of the bad affect of gambling to a person who dont have control and let himself became addicted.

Now what did you realize or learn as a gambler (regardless if you became an addicted or not) that you can share to others?

As a former addicted gambler I realized that gambling is not the answer if you're desperate to grow your money and should not be our last resort in times like this because there's other way that can be the solution to our problem when it comes to money.

I have learned that gambling will never be a good source of income, there are some people who can really earn from gambling but it won't last longer than we expected. I have learned that making it a priority to earn will never give me a decent/stable profit, instead, it will be the only reason for me to lose everything I had.

Im already addicted with gambling i was play gambling with crypto within 5 years till now.
sometimes i lose my money and one day i get a whale there, that is indeed gambling but sometimes if we are addicted to something like that will not be able to stop to continue playing even every day.

but after 5 years I learned how to control myself and now only play when I have free time and have more money and dont be greedy with gambling

Gambling is not a good thing even though I am already addicted, there is no point in just throwing money after it is destitute, now I can refrain from that addiction because there is someone who tells me that it is also not a good job but it will add burden to me thinking gambling it's endless, but on the other hand I want to continue playing gambling every day.

• Formulating strategies which includes mind games.
• Understand patience better.
• It's a constant battle between greed and satisfaction (learning when to stop after winning).
• Learning when to control yourself when you are losing

The above is a good list of positive things that can be learned when you are into gambling. It's not exclusive to gambling though.

yes we hear so many negative or bad effects pertaining to gamble and now what you wanted to hear  ? the positive effects  ? hmmm i think the positive effects that gambling dealt on my life is that it provides me an income ( extra income ) to be specific aside from working online  . gambling is really helpful to me but i dont know about the others  .  also i learn that we must be patience and embrace the small income what we got on the gambling platforms . we must think our family first so that we wont over gamble   .

I learned that from gambling can come both good and bad things,bad things being a majority.I learned greater level of self control and I learned that you cannot expect to be rich or win every time in gambling.I learned to consider gambling as a daily activity which can bring loss or profit and to live with whatever result it yields.

These are some things I learned from being a gambler:
1. Who truly wins in gambling is not its players, but the house itself.
2. Tricks, style, any strategy has no actual effect on your winning, it is more on luck, timing and being cautious.
3.  Being greedy will only lead you to chaos.

This is the common learning that each and every gambler learn at the end of experiencing a massive loss. Myself too lost big, and has learned to keep myself within control. Personally I developed control and learned to take breaks between gambling which will help in overcoming loss. When I chase losses I go uncontrolled and loss my funds, ans taking a break and making my mind makes me avoid unwanted losses.

I guess a better form of gambling is combining gambling with a business related to that type of gambling. For example, you could gamble on football/soccer if you own a football club or you're employed as a football analyst. Better still, gamble on what interest you especially the skill-based ones. The education and skills aquired will benefit both your gambling career and your company/job. More like plucking two high hanging oranges with one stone.

By gambling, I understand better about income management, according to experience, I was bankrupt just because of gambling, and at that time the mind was automatically connected to other sources of income (trading, etc.) with a forced condition. If I had never experienced that, then my mind would not have developed so far. Then, I understand not to pursue maximum profits in gambling, one definite rule is that bookies always win more, this is always a reminder when I have to hold myself with profits that have met the initial adequacy limit that I set.

Indeed, gambling shouldn't be a source of income and that's what I learned many times. As I lost and wasted all my extra money in my pocket I realized that gambling has no positive impact on the progress of my life financial struggles. Unfortunately, I was not having peace of mind, even though I was winning good but I couldn't control myself when got addicted to it. Losing time will be a redundant trend which kept on erradicating while you're tempted to bet again and again.

I did not get any lessons from gambling, maybe quite a lot of the negative side that I will share with others and I will never recommend gambling to others.
sometimes just spending money and time, without getting anything.

Thank you for sharing your experience and I fully agree with that.
The problem with some gamblers especially the poor is they think that gambling is their ticket to get out from poverty, look at the poor countries,, they thought betting on lottery will solve their problem without realizing their chances of winning, some just like to change or earn money instantly in a risky way.

Being a long time gambler too, I have different experienced, both bad or good and what I learn is just it's always safe to treat gambling as an entertainment than being ambitious to make money.

I've learned a lot about my self. I was able to realize that I have a tendency of being greedy when I gamble. With yhat, I learned how to control and limit my self when gambling. I like gambling but I know when to stop and I don't look for it everyday. It maybe an easy way to earn money, but it is not a good habit to start with.

Being gamblers I have learned a lot.
--know how to control my self and the amount that I must spend.
--I understand very well that gambling is not an alternate way to have a source of income.
--Learn to accept mistakes and move on.
--know what is provably fair than probably fair. (sounds weird) :D
--most of all we warned about addiction and we educate it well.

What? You mean you're still doing what you are doing since you started gambling? Even if you are not addicted to gambling, you should have realized things that you need to realize.
Anyways, I learned a lot of things, here are some.
I can stop being greedy by limiting the amount of money to spend and the amount to bet. I have also learned that setting terms and conditions for my self is really effective and if I were to break those conditions, I have also set a consequence that only I can know what it is.

many factors can be learned for them when gambling addiction increases, despite losing the match, the mind remains focused in the desire to bet, every defeat is found there is just the urge to continue the game to the gambling machine table.

Which is very noticed is, gambling is not only an element of victory, for gamblers heavy in him embedded strong motivation and supported by habits that are often done and can produce two elements in the human body adrenaline and endorphins that drive stronglyfor the victory of abundant money and as entertainment, ironically not for gambling addicts.

I believe, "I have learned a lot" went i lose went doing a gambling xD.

Point 1 : For me, its kinda hard to control the amount balance at the gambling site, but went doing a trade that was really easy.
Point 4 : Just know, but dont know how to verify by my self.

There are many lessons I learned from gambling. One of this is to not put too much emotion when playing. Not to use borrowed money, and set limitations. Know your priorities with your money before using it in gambling. And put in your mind that gambling is not a place to earn money. Yes you can win there but it's not the best solution when you badly need money. Instead of gambling, just work for it. Gambling is just for extra money.
I am not a gambling addict yet I have learned a lot. And I believe I can still learn more. Gambling is not bad, it's only how you handle yourself when gambling.

other than the obvious that gambling is not a great way to make money or can ruin someone's life etc.. I realized as I gamble this past few years(though not constantly) that gambling can also test your self-control, discipline, mental strength to better yourself(at least if you think it that way). but most people I know don't see how can gambling help you.

The thing that i learned as a gambler is to have a self-control for me not to be greedy in betting a huge amount of money because a long time ago, i am also addicted in gambling that makes it very difficult for me to control myself in betting a huge amount of money, and it all turns out getting myself bankrupt. Good thing, with the help of a friend he teach me to control myself and to have patience, so i could not be greedy and to continue myself to play gambling for a long time.

The biggest reason why people gamble is because they want to earn quick and huge money. But most of them failed to do that (even myself) due to our greediness. From past 3 years until now, i realized i can calculate more clearly about possibility in gamble (thanks for that) and also about money management which i didn't knew before

I think i learned from gambling is not to become greedy and learn how to limit myself from spending a lot of money because when i started to win in a consecutive times that's the time i became greedy that i don't limit myself from spending my money, that is why i always lose a lot of money in the past.

I have learned that we can't rely everything on gambling because it can't be a source of our necessities. I have learned not to be greedy and to take control of my emotions so I wouldn't regret things in the future. Gambling has a lot of risks so we should be smart enough to know our limits.

The nature of surrender to someone certainly exists especially in gambling when we win continuously there greed will appear, I think it's not good and we must refrain, when we win there we must stop gambling in the sense of not being too greedy better to play that Other appeals from gambling continue.

Gamble occasionally and don't consider it to be a source of income, especially not your main source of income. Gamble on the things you are familiar with. If you are into sports gambling than bet on the sports you understand and follow. Don't look at the odds and make predictions based on them.
A serious gambler plays single matches, maybe a pair but no 10+ accumulators. It is better to invest more on one selection you are comfortable with than adding a 4th, 5th...10th selection to get a bigger payout.   

If it's not a financial problem I won't play gambling. I'm sure most people play gambling because of financial problems and personal desires. But maybe more dominant financial problems, there is no job that can give you money quickly and a lot. Every gambling has risk so the gambler must accept that.

There are many learnings in gambling, we need to be disciplined and we need to realize what we really aim to set amount we can lose or until amount to win. But even we realize it we need to really put it an action as many only know what is needed but never really do it. I learned we should make an action in what we really need to do.

I learned that you cannot win and that's a fact, and because of this fact, you should be aware of how much money you will allow playing, people become a worse gambler because they cannot control on how much money they will allow playing and how many hours they allocate and extend everything in gambling calls for moderation if you don't have this, you are in trouble.

maybe most people will say the learned from gambling like being not greedy and controlling emotions, and in my opinion that's a good lesson can change someone's nature because of gambling.
but actually that is the nature of each person. I already had that trait before entering the world of gambling, so that I could control my emotions and not be addicted, I could stop whenever I wanted, and of course I have realized that.

I do consider this as the last option beacuse I know how quickly people can lose money and end up even getting addicted to it . So in order to avoid all such things I enjoy the game and have fun which gives more enjoyment and less worry about money .

That's one that I have learned in playing gambling and the worst thing is if you keep on playing gambling and you already having a losing streak it can cause losing a lot of money. The second thing that I have learned in playing is to control your emotions because sometimes in order to regain your losses you will keep on playing and the eagerness to win will also result in losing a lot of money. The third is to learn to quit or to stop if you already experiencing losing a lot of money.

I learn from gambling is how to control my self and stick to the plan once I reached or achieved it that's I learned in gambling.
Yes more people thinl gambling is always bad even me before but when I realize how to manage my self I saw the good side of playing gambling all we need to do or player to know to controlling ourselves to have good result in gambling.

If there is something that I realized in gambling, that is determination doesn't always counts. In my perspective before, I though it matters but after gambling for a short period time the truth has been shown to me. Gambling for a short period of time gives me more profit thus I can say that it's really a pure luck and finding when is the time that it gives luck is a challenge that can be solved by your very own strategy.

What I learn from gambling or as a gambler?
- patience
- self control
- money management
- time management

Sounds good, doesn't it? Surely it depends on ourselves, I do even believe that there are many people do not even realize that they can learn something good from gambling as their main focus is about getting more and more money only.

If someone who thinks gambling can help them earn money, then lets be honest, he isn't wrong over here. Gambling can in fact help you earn money over night. I have heard people and seen people earning thousands of dollars within few seconds. Though, the risk associated over here is extremely high, but the profits are also equally good. Think about investment. Investing on a good place will give you money, though slowly, but with risks. One bad investment and boom. All gone. I am not encouraging anyone to gamble to earn money. I am just saying the truth over here.
Just gamble what you can afford to lose.

I played gambling for about 4 years, I learned about more appreciating time and money, sometimes what I have done so far is not good and does not earn anything. but I can get more money without gambling. maybe I will share my experience then give direction about time and money, they must realize that both are very valuable and it's better not to be used for gambling.

Nothing much really because I play gambling just to sustain my own needs, mostly personal things like gadgets, clothes, etc. That's the reason why I'm playing and taking a risk to make profit. I don't have any problem regarding daily needs that's why I don't care much about what I learned in gambling like some attitude, or any kind of moral thing or something. As long as i'm not addicted into physical casino, I'll be fine.

The 4 points that you said are true about gambling are about self control and don't be greedy when we win again.
Indeed, many gamblers make a lot of money because they can control them all while gambling, I want to learn like that because there are people who say that gambling cannot become rich whereas if we can control ourselves and be patient there will definitely be a lot of money from gambling.

I never felt a positive learning from gambling, maybe i never be an addicted gambler. But from my point of view self-control is the most learning can be taken.
Just one thing from gambling that I can take good lessons, gambling can be my stress relief, because gambling can be a fun activity.

Here's, something I wanted to share that might help some people.  Whenever you want to gamble always remember that you're going to lose most of the time. Before putting in money on your account you need to know that its unlikely to get it back you'll rarely break even if you try your best on making a recovery its always a losing battle. Once you've accepted what's going to happen you'll be less affected and quickly move on.

You don't have to be addicted to learn from gambling, looking back at your past losses and style of betting is one way to learn something out if it.

I agree. Gambling will be just the source of depression in my opinion, the source of every negative vibes you could get while playing then you lost. What I've realized about gambling is that, trying it out to figure out what future you have in gambling is a waste of money and time already, it is too risky, and in the long run, even if you are winning, you won't be happy, totally, because what if someone of your love ones ask you where do you get your money, and of course you'll invent an alibi and so on, you will never be proud of it since in the first place, you are hiding it from everybody.

I could say that it never results in all into negative ones, of course, there is a positive effect on us. What I could find in gambling is that it teaches how to control myself in terms of money spending and to be strategical enough in times of difficulties. But the worse thing that I couldn't imagine and even could easily forget is when I lose half of my 1month salary in just an hour.

I've been gambling for a few years now, and oh I've learned a lot of things! That include how to make a good prediction based on past performance, how to control and separate emotion from gambling, how to recover from losses, knowing when enough is enough, not being greedy, risk management, etc. I also learn the math behind gambling: what is house edge, how do sportsbook set odds, etc. Most importantly I realized gambling is very addictive and I realized that being the house in a very unique gambling game can be very profitable. LOL.

Precisely, we should not definitely rely on gambling when it comes on money because first of all it is based on luck and even if have enough luck there is still a low chance for you to hit the jackpot. I realize that I should only use this simply for entertainment. Moreover, we should also learn how to manage our emotions in order to prevent us to fall out into addiction which could destroy our life and the persons who surround us. Just don't earn profit in this kind of way but rather use it for fun, if you want profit then you could try another way which is more reliable.

^ I can't count using my fingers because there are too many of them and I educated my self very well and luckily I am not on a gambling addict now. Self-control is one of the first I have learned as a gambler, I can adjust my emotion and greediness and should have not to chase losses. This is what I have realized now, gambling is a form of entertainment to have a fun activity that something you need when you are alone or probably in a boringness. Nevertheless, I can't deny the fact that when I am in gambling I still hoping to always win.

I learned that you shouldn't been driven by your emotions. It's probably one of the reasons why people are getting a lot of loss instead of getting wins. Just like trading, the will of getting back with your loss, and unfortunately you'll continue your lossing streak , it's the same as gambling. Another thing is formulating a good strategy. It's not just luck in gambling. It's a combination of both.

In some of my activities in gambling, I have learned that you cannot always win which is what I think everyone should apply in his daily life. Everyday in our activities whether schooling or working, there will be battles to be fought whether with colleagues, family or friends. In all of these battles, some would be won, others would be lost, to those you won, celebrate and move on, while the losses, count it, learn your lessons and also move on. There are still more to be fought to lose or won.

If this is subjected then let me be straight to the point. What I learned in gambling is nothing. But what I've experience in gambling is many. Why I haven't learned? Because in a game where the only chances is 50/50, you couldn't really see the winning bets and usually end up in taking the same risk over and over again so its pure luck. But in experience, I can say, each plays provides me with happiness and joy especially when winning.

I can't think of anything besides of having someone by yourside who will be taking away your time or at least, a catalyst that will motivate you to stay away or who will mold you to gamble practically and not too often than you used to. Not a lover, but might be a companion or some sort of a person that will serves as a period for your some not-so-influential story.

I realized that it is impossible to profit from a casino, it is simply impossible, or if you first went and got it, your psyche tells you to go again and so it goes on to lose money.
No one wanted or wanted to create a place where everyone would be happy and receive money for free.
Gambling has been sent from hell itself, to come to the world with us and for non-controlling and seductive people to lose material things.
As a man who genuinely thinks casino is a place to enjoy, I also say that gambling is very, very bad and not for everyone.

I learn and realized that if you make a false move in gambling, you can end up losing everything, and I also learn that control is the most important characteristics of a gambler, without it you could end up in quicksand whenever you moves you goes down.

As a gambler, I learned a lot of stuffs, the main thing that I learned was how to control myself under different conditions or even pressure (self-control), by this I can't be addicted and I can just know my limits. I learned also the patience, while you're gambling you need to be patient and smart and of course you need to be so lucky to even get a profit from gambling. I'm happy that I'm gambler thought, I didn't make a lot of mistakes like being addictive and loosing a lot of money.

I learned two really big things:

1) losing money will teach you more than earning it.
(and yes, money can teach a lot about yourself and the way you behave).

2) pay yourelf first and take breaks, never gamble until the end and give all the earning back.

As a gambler I never allow emotion to overwhelmed after a consecutive losing streaks because I had made up my mind to always bet with the amount of money I can afford to lose, more so I am not too eager to place a bet of which I am doubting it outcome I would rather leave it and wait for another chance or opportunities after all we have more sure games ahead especially in soccer betting which has been my area of specialization in betting.

I learn the basic fact, that no one can beat the house edge you can beat him sometimes but most of the time the house will always comeback to beat you, now if you put more time and money on the gambling table chances are you will not be putting something in the family's table, so better choose your priority.

Wayback where i do first met this gambling activity. i do really have the thoughts on becoming rich with it because we do know that we can make easy money on a short span of time
with gambling but when i do experience loss which is something big enough to let myself  realize that those impressions and beliefs arent really real to happen.
Yes, we can make money but not to that extent on easily to win from time to time and gamble doesnt work that way.You would only realize when you lose up money.
Important here is that you are aware on its total risk.

I learned to control and being a mindful gambler.

There's a lot of things we can learn through gambling, not only this, and it depends on our approach to gambling. We can learn such probabilities in this game and might create an idea or strategy for winning a game. It can be a tool for you to make good decisions in life and not to be reckless in situations.


This is true also, the house edge are the one who keeps winning 'til the end.   ;)

as one of the gamblers.. I just suggest not to be too confident in gambling, every decision you make must be based on careful consideration, because I've had a few big losses due to overconfidence.  and another, don't gamble when your mood isn't good, because you won't be able to make the best decision if your mood is bad.

This what I have learned in gambling.
..know how to set the money that I can afford to lose if ever.
..know how to analyze the match and compute possible chances of winning.
..Not to become greedy
..patience
..self-discipline
..how to avoid possible scam/fraud gambling sites.

When you are in a bad mood it doesnt really meant that you shouldnt play unless if you are doing strategic games but for dice and other luck based
then i would say that you can play at all.Main purpose why we do play is to seek for entertainment and gambling do really have it.The difference here is
that it depends on how you do percept about it.If you play on making money,then losing some bucks will surely frustrate and stresses you even more.
So it isnt worth to try on.

I learn that gambling operators won't allow their business to go down, therefore they will do everything to stay profitable and we can't win that way.
The odds are not in our favor and we can't win in the long run, so enjoying it or treating it for fun will minimize the risk and could give us the possibility to enjoy.

There are games with not house edge like sports betting which I like to play, but still I can't get my expectation it tells me that it's really hard to win in gambling.

Gambling business is very profitable because there's always house edge. If you will really treat gambling as a source of income, you will end up in despair. And one thing that I learned from gambling is the simple fact that you should only spend your extra money on your gambling. Otherwise, you will feel disappointed if it doesn't turn out that way you want it to be.

The lesson I can take from gambling is Learning to refrain from losing everything in one day, because life is not just today, there is still tomorrow to change luck.

In gambling loses are have the higher chances than winning people should realize that and dont put your money and wish to be rich, being rich is not a one time bigtime, dont put you family at risk by spending your salary, keep amount for you family and make sure they are well and safe, because no matter what happen, you will be responsible for them

Gambling is a game with a full of fun and excitement; many people are playing this because it satisfies their desires to play and taking the risk. In gambling there are just two people, first is the one who won the game by using their skills and knowledge in playing, many gamblers have already a lot of experience came from their previous games and used this as an advantage to the others, and they want to compete to test their skills and ability to win the game, one of the goals of the gambler is also to win and earn profit. Next is the one who loses their games; many people cannot avoid losing their games with some reasons that may cause losing their money. In gambling, you must think positive and aim to your goal, and you must handle your emotions and self to make decisions that can affect your whole game, it is better to play safe than taking a lot of risks.

This topic must be read by a lot of people. Because from first page until now, a lot of people really agree if gambling is something that will make us lose our money if we get addicted to it. And gambling itself wouldn't help us to be rich if we not luck on it. Because out there, a lot of people maybe think if they use small amount of money to win and without think how much they already lose.

I learned to be patient as a gambler. Gambling made me realize that winning is not easy and that it cannot be achieved most of the time. I also learn to control myself especially in times when I am a little bit carried away by my losses that I try to recover them right there and then. That is not possible and that is not wise to get emotionally affected by it. I also learned to have fun most of all. That is probably the most important learning that I've got from gambling, that fun is there even if I lose.

so what do you do now?losing every other day?lol (joke)

that is the best learning we must have because only few realizes and make this actions.

many gamblers says this always but the truth?when they are starting to play again and start to lose?they forgot this words and chase the losses again and that brings another failure.

Losing is always there, LOL, no one wins in consecutive days without losing.

That is where gamblers should realize things, once they have started playing they already forgot their words. But it is not about chasing their losses, it is about their hope to win

Not to mention how many times we lose before we win? But gamblers never takes such a big and even realize that cause in the first place, gamblers aren't counting how much they lose but of how much they win.
Thus, if we would like to win millions, we also have to sacrifice millions before that.

I learn that you can't mess with gambling as that will kill your finances.
When you are gambling, you need to have full of discipline so you will not end up losing what you are not suppose to gamble.

most of the time we lose, that's the reality that we can't change, at least for most of us, however, having fun can be done every time we gamble as long as that discipline is with us since that's gonna help us avoid losing a lot of money.

Being discipline is one that I learn from gambling. Yes I'm not a addicted gambler but I learned from gambling how to control myself especially my funds.

Another one is being excited when I'm watching games. In the past times when I'm watching sports games, I'm not enjoying but when I started gambling it turned around and now I'm always enjoying whenever I watch games either I gamble or not.

Definitely, I learned discipline and also to take risks. The discpline that I got is from my own mistakes because when I was a beginner in gambling, I do not have proper risks managwment and I do not also have limitation in gambling. After my major losses, I learned that discpline is my problem and that's I worked hard for me to be a discpline in terms gambling and investing. It is really hard to become a risks taker but gambling help me removing my fear of investing.

Actually there are a lot of lessons can we learned from gambling such as being discipline, do not be greedy, control emotions while gambling and many more but while gambling and lost those lessons sometimes ignored to us because we always be curious want to recover our losses and if we won too from gambling sometimes we ignoring people advices to not being too greedy

yes i hear lots but gambler are hard headed and they still play even though they also complain about how bad the gambling or the gambling site that they are playing with because they know to them selves that they cant drop gambling so easily   .

 lets admit it , gambling gives us happiness and extra cash when times we need it the most  .  all gamblers learn their lesson and those lesson can be good or bad  , some apply those lesson why some  are urghh..   -_-

I agree with you. You can relate to gambling either from a position of making money and approach this approach very thoroughly, like work, being a professional,
or like entertainment, in this case you need to be aware that the main goal is not making money, and consider money lost as an investment for your own pleasure.

Unfortunately, most people combine earnings with entertainment, which ultimately leads to disappointment and lack of gambling pleasure.

Myself spend my days into gambling when I didn't got any job after hard try and attending so many interviews. Not out of frustration, but to have some earning I spend what I had in the wallet on sports betting. This went smooth for a while and later things got away which means my luck came to an end. Why I felt my luck is over, because till then without much of analysis I just go on random pick. When I started to analyse better I didn't smelled win. If luck is there with you it can make you a millionaire, if not it can make you poor.

I found myself super indiscipline after get to know gambling lol , that's a bold difference isn't it? Curious how could gambling makes you discipline? If you talking about trading and being disciplined then that's still makes sense to me , but gambling? Hell no , you can ruin your whole life with gambling as your habit , there's a lot of stories about this out there and can't see any of them being disciplined during the process.

I learn that gambling won't makes you rich (most of the times) but when you have one time chance , you shouldn't missed it , hit that chance and whatever the result, don't comeback.

Fortunately, I am not addicted to gambling. I learned from my past in gambling that teach me to manage my money every time I gamble. I know that gambling is not the answer if we want to make money because gambling is only for fun and entertainment while you must search for the other work to get the money. Gambling is not a solution to your problem related to making money, but gambling is part of the life in which we can avoid it or try to have fun.

The most basic thing I learned from gambling is that we cannot win continuously. But we have a chance to win. So I believe that we can actually get profits every month from gambling sites as long as we can do it professionally. For example we can do it through live betting on sports betting. Although the odds are small, but the important thing is we win.

Yes, many will say negative about gambling. But in reality, a mature person will not be dragged into gambling addiction. I learned that there is no easy money. There is no quick way to become rich. I learned how to be contented and be happy win or lose.

Sport-betting is a more complex skill-based game.
You need to have access to lots of info.

Depends on how much information you had access to, where you got your information from. Or maybe you weren't a very skilled, talented or well trained analyst. I guess the right information will cost alot of money, energy or will require good talent to figure out.

I must agree with you here, with all you said. Its true, many people speak negative about gambling, some people lost a lot and they blame gambling for that, others actually never gambled, and they don't like it and they just speak negative about it.
Mature person, a younger person with strong character will not be dragged in any addiction, especially not into gambling addiction. Person with strong character can set goals and will not give up until they achieve them or decide those goals aren't worth it.
I can say for my self the same like you, in gambling I learned that there's no easy money, about how to manage your money, how easy is to win or lose, and that you can apply that on life, but in the end you need to be stable person what ever happens, win or lose, bad or good, you need to stand on the ground and be happy with what you have.

It may sound funny to many, but I am proud to say that I have learnt better money management as a gambler.
How is this possible? Many will ask as gambling is always associated with spending.
For me, I learnt how to spend my money wisely and to restrict myself from unnecessarily money spending. It because when gambling, if I lose, I Never trying paying again. Through it, I cut down impulsive spending.

You still need to be Lucky, no matter how skill-based is that if the players aren't performing well in a game, it is useless. Even Michael Jordan have ups and downs. He had a very bad performance in a certain game in his career. Nothing is certain in this world.

You can't control luck, in terms of gambling you will always rely on that thing. If you're not lucky, you'll lost everything as you continue to play. If today isn't your day, try it in the next day. Maybe the luck will follow.

The gamble that I often play is poker because it can trigger Andernalin and I play online or traditionally, what I can learn when playing is self control and mental testing when my opponents bluff.
Discipline in gambling plays a role and is not carried away by lust and the most careful for me is not to try to bluff when I feel my card is good and confident will win and without realizing that my opponent's card is far better than mine.

Luck does really differ from time to time and each person do have that random times on being lucky but other people do have wrong perceptions towards it yet they do believe that they can be lucky most of the time
which in result they do push out themselves even they are already hardly losing.

Learning is always happen in the end where you do find yourself been doing bad things or out of control specially on fund handling.Just make sure that things wont go on extreme conditions where
if you dont like to experience hardship then better be aware on what gambling can do unto you.

It happened as you are thinking that you have an edge over your opponents and aiming to win but likewise shit happens same with how other gambling games where you are expecting to earned but things goes in a different directions. You will learn how to extend your patience and not to aggressively rush things out as you will surely lose everything if you will play like that inside the house.

2 things:

Beginner luck is true.

You'll never win against the house unless you employ the members of the house.

I have seen such instances wherein a person always wins the blackjack every night. Turns out, the card dealer and the gambler in question are accomplices and are doing this stuff to make money every night. This happened in Macau and after that incident, I never had any news with the duo. Perhaps they were prosecuted, though I'm kinda uninformed ln what laws can apply to that kind of activity done against the gambling house.

I honestly think that the beginner's luck is true, but that it is not a coincidence, but that the first time the game is not shot so much and does not have as much knowledge and does not pay much attention. Here is an example, when I hope for something, it never comes to me, and when I forget about it, it usually comes to fruition.
So with a beginner, he simply plays without the load and thought and wins. Scientists to examine more closely

There are negative effects to everything. And don't worry too much about what people think.

Well, happy realization. I'm not an addicted gambler or anything but from gambling, in general, I learned the value of money and how it can control your life. I learned about addiction and how it's never enough. Mine only advise to addicted people is  - Live Life, there are better things that would keep you happy.

i learn that gambling was also a good was to earn a profit here in cryptocurrency especially like a bounty campaign. Here in cryptocurrency it is always risky to invest your money anywhere but especially in gambling where it was all about luck if you are going to win the bet or not and sometime gambling sites are also scam sites so the risk of losing your money is always high what you need is always have a discipline in your money to not grt tempted in betting a risk amount of money.

Just learned so many fucks and shits about playing this kind of junk, LoL just my expression on describing my experiences, I'd rather tell this in case there are still few who doesn't get what they are about to do with their money. Gambling isn't so bad after all there are ways to have fun without realizing that you're just giving away money on these set of companies instead of doing charitable works that can help other people that's said to be poor in every aspects.

This game of life is also a gamble, ever since we were born there are already consequences, so all we have to do is to know how should we use it. Crazy addiction isnt so bad also, necessarily because if you don't have anything to put your stress away. This is just another way of taking a break.

AFAIK, this thing has only a 75%-25% of that ratio when it comes to effects for every users. Or rather make it 80% for the negativities and 20% for the positive vibes of gambling.

Where did you get the 75-25% ratio from? For example, what are the negative effects of studying too much? Only 75% positive and 25% negative? I doubt those numbers can be used universally to categorize everything. I don't the proportions are accurate of gambling either. Image if user wins 1000 BTC off 0.01 BTC, where does that 80% negative stand?

I've learned that you have to treat the money you gamble with as lost from the moment you deposit them in the casino. It's not because you will really lose or because it's some kind of scam. It's just better and healthier for you to think of a loss even when it didn't happen. It won't come as a surprise and you won't try to win the money back by depositing more and more.

I learned that gambling is a test of character, if you cannot control it you are going to lose badly in terms of monetary and your character, it's also a trap, if you cannot control it, it will control you and you will become its slave and it will impose everything on you until you become nothing.

Then I think the essence of being a gambler isn't with you if you just easily surrenders in winning after losing just one time. Because for me, what I learn in gambling is to not just accept the losses from our investment, we should always take into consideration that at least we could retrieve even not the hundred percent of our loss but to not go home without anything in your pocket. Though, this might be risky, but through this I see myself as a gambler who knows the risk in gambling.

I'm just started in gambling in the past month and so far it was more of a bad experience but sometimes I win the bet and gain a good amount of profit and that's whats make me continue in a gamble to win,
I think winning is the thing that makes us addicted and continues doing gambling even though it was so risky at all the time.

Yes it is the reason why we are getting addicted into it. We are expecting that if we won consecutive times at that time, it will continue and will give more profit but all things has an end and so with gambling too.

The problem is if a gambler is winning consecutive times, they tend to become more greedy instead of stopping and as a result they end up losing all of their money which is the problem. We are the same, most of my experience in gambling is bad but I learn some good attitudes too because of it.

Self control is what I learn from gambling, it is expected that we will play more if we experience consecutive times of winning and there is effect to our psychology. There is a greed that forming because we will encouraged to continue our bets. The self control will help us to have limitation where we consider the risks while we are playing in online gambling sites.

Those who don’t like gambling will say bad about gambling and those who like it will say  positive but every one has different experiences with gambling but I think gambling is a kind of job in which you will earn money along with your own effort. I got one lesson from that nothing is for free you will have to struggle for it and work hard for it.

One of the many things that I have learned as a gambler is to know your limits whenever you are playing or betting your money in the line. Knowing your limits as a gambler will also help you to grow the critical thinking of yourself in other things and also you will be able to think about different perspective of different people who are doesn't the same with your perspective. I have also learned that if you want to grow your money you must look for a decent job and don't just gamble your money just because you want an easy or instant money. Gambling teach me so many lesson just like for example on how to think twice whenever I am gambling and I can use it in my actual life.

I really didn't learn much. All the things you can learn in the gambling industry are the simple truths of life like the ones that it's easy to manipulate people with promises of money, that people are greedy, that people are easily addicted, that by trying to get to the top they will bury themselves and their families.
I'm not a pro gambler and not aspiring to be but I've seen people get dragged to the bottom by hopes and delusions.

I learned how to control myself while gambling, how to use my current balance effectively, and how to take my player psychology out of control. In gaining these experiences, it became the most costly and most painful psychology control for me, because I learned to control both the gain and loss psychology in the process. Even though it is a very difficult, troublesome and a bit costly process, I know how to control psychology today, and when I gamble, I can control my own psychology in case of possible big wins or big losses. Gambling actually taught me so much and contributed a lot. When played correctly and effectively, without exaggeration, gambling can be both a fun and effective information tool.

Gambling has a good side to it and a negative side like people don't like gambling they will continue to denounce me as a gambler even if I'm not addicted too, but in playing casino gambling there is always a good business and strategy not just playing gambling then getting a lot of money but there are several factors that are in gambling, let others talk what is important we work without distressing others.

I think the best things I learn from gambling is being patient and learning to control my greed being contented with what I have and being thankful even for little things that you would get.
And also there is no short cut for being rich unless you're one of those who have a huge luck on their side thatcould win some big jackpot.
Learn to accept your mistake and take it as an experience so you could try to avoid it in the future.

The fact is not the case, even I once took the final path to gamble to be able to fix financial problems. Indeed, gambling is not the right choice for the problem but when we can do it with a mentality and good confidence, then we will most likely get the luck. But still, when you have other more methods then gambling should be immediately abandoned and I don't recommend that if you just force yourself to keep gambling without any good preparation.

I learned that despite what you do, your loved ones will never, I mean ever let you suffer alone. I am so thankful that I have a partner in life where she accepts me as what I am and despite the addiction I have, she continues to love me and even helped me to take myself out of my addiction.

Basically if she doesn't help you to get out of your addiction, your relationship will not go any further as you both need the funds to take care of your future. Any ways, I see that it would be good as well to convince your partner to play and enjoy betting platform as well. Then all the profits should be shared by both of you. But you should also consider becoming aware of your situation to avoid losing too much that is supposed to be for your future.

A negative review will always be associated with gambling since most gambling are going to end up lossing more than they can earn. People review badly when they're affected. That those negative review are present doesn't automatically make gambling bad especially when you don't over do it and can have control over your decision making by not getting addicted. Those trying to invest into educating themselves and acquiring the required knowledge plus luck been on their side can make gambling a professionally source of their income and might be successful.

My lesson so far has revolved around been able to control my emotions and not letting my greed make a fool out of me. Supposedly I was to give an advice to those trying to profit from the industry it'll be the same, (control your emotions).

I am a typical gambler for almost a year now. And from that, I have learned the negative side of me. I AM GREEDY. YES. Whenever I win, I want more thus ended up being a loser. But hey, it is hard to control greed but you can lessen that emotion by setting up a target profit, have a positive mindset.

Another thing, at first I am depositing money to gamble. But I have learned now, I don't deposit anymore. Thus, earning some bucks even if I don't deposit. That's a good part, not need to get some money from my pocket, from my salary but still I manage to gamble and manage to payout.

I agree with you, do not make gambling as an alternative way that can generate profits quickly because even after all gambling is very high risk, if the only way we can do to get money quickly by gambling then most likely we can lose everything

Gambling is truly taught me some lessons.
1. To use the head over the emotion. Some time emotion use to take over when we are continuously losing the ego/ or emotion come into play and we made mistake by taking big chances and ending up losing big. Even in life when it is a bad day we need to be clam and take rest.
2. To take control of greed. When you are winning we need to stop at the right point some greed could push you onto a dead end. 
3. Keeping hope alive.  Be patient your time will come
last but not least 4. How to get rid of an addiction.  :D :D

As a gambler, I learned how to waste money and time. Gambling is nothing but a waste of money and time. So there is no better learning as a gambler. Another thing I've learned as a gambler is how to become rich or poor overnight. Besides, I think playing gambling cannot be learned. However, many have learned good things about gambling.

Beside learning the game itself and getting good at it, I also learnt the importance of money while gambling for few years now. Getting broke at times and saving each bit to get back to the game with hope to win big and cover losses did make me realize importance of money. Now I am more cautious with my spending and I save too.

what I learned from a gambler, gambling is not the right place to make money especially in a state of urgency when needing money in a fast time. the effects of gambling can be fatal yes besides addiction surely everything will always be negative, emotions change, when win feels unsatisfied and when lost, feelings of anger will overflow is not clear.
and I've realized, instead of gambling it's better to take a safer way to trade, this is what I'm doing now.

Thats a sad fact, its a waste of time especially if you often lose but cant refrain yourself to keep coming back to recover the losses or to have fun even you're aware that you might lose your money again.

Thats why discipline is important in gambling, if you let greed control you then making you poor in a short period of time is possible.

this is why i always ask to myself that people are tended to play when they already knew that losing is mostly what they have got?is this a curse ?of gambling for the people?
but trading is partly gamble also right?because you will never know the growth until it happens so there is some gambling in that area .

Now many gambling sites provide free money and other daily activities that can make us able to get crypto even without playing, I mean these events are different processes than we play to make a profit. I use this condition continuously so I never make a deposit using personal money.Means I have never felt the slightest loss while I played on the gambling site

Personally, it taught me a lot about variance, calculations, distributions and the like in a real sense. It's one thing to see charts, it's another to physically experience them on a day to day basis. It drove me insane in the beginning and once I got over the hump, I was really grateful for what I had learned.

One thing I learned about gambling is that Gambling is not a get rich quick scheme so if you see others claiming that they won this crazy amount of money from gambling, just say congratulations and don't ever think it can happen to you as well because we all know that gambling is a game of chance. I remember a few years ago, I was in debt at that time and all I have is just $20 and the person whom I borrowed money from is asking for repayment, I thought I can get lucky in online games so I bet my whole $20 and I ended up going home with no money left and still in debt.

the curse that is in everyone's mind when gambling (it's possible) :-\
a little agree and have a point, so yes it's still part of gambling but in a different way as I said it is safer than gambling. here I focus commodity trading not cryptocurrency trading.

---

so what did you learn from a gambler? play for free without a deposit? hmmm ,, it could have happened, but the process really takes a long time only with free capital. but if you can get profit from it, it's good then.
so your solution is to keep playing gambling but don't try deposit, if can, try to get capital for free to bet, okay I get it.

Imagine being able to claim only when the balance is empty but the minimum withdrawal amount is at 2 figures before fees. While I've seen people bragging about making bank from their dailies, those takes some extreme luck.

It's actually possible on certain sites that deal with virtual items besides crypto and the withdraw requirements are pretty lax (e.g. wager 100% of deposits and/ or attain Level 1).

what i realized about my gambling journey?that never use this place as profiteering area because if you does?for sure you will be ending nothing.i have already experienced the hardest way gambling life must be and believe me this is not good.
you may lose your love ones or even family and friend if you put all your eggs in gambling so be aware and keep living like normal ways.

When you will put your friends and family share of time and money into gambling, definitely they will leave you eventually. For family, you need to have money and time. Towards your family, you have countless responsibilities and ignoring them simply leads to destruction of family which neither good for gambler nor the family members. So simply gamble to enjoy not for earning and satisfying greed.

Probably one of the most important things that I have learned from gambling are my money management skills, very soon I understood that playing a game in which I was at a disadvantage required that I took care of my money, and eventually I was able to transfer those skills to my everyday life and to my trading activities and those skills are responsible for my moderate success when it comes to trading so despite the losses that I have suffered while gambling I was able to learn something positive from it.

Certainly, money management skills is always the number one every gamblers learned through their gambling journey but in my aspect i learned both money management and how to schedule time. Although, I'm not gambling addicted but I'm a kind of gambler that find it too hard to leave the game.

You make a good statement because gamblers need to learn how to put his family first not that he will get carried away by the game through the act of satisfying his greed but i still believe lack of knowledge about the genuine theory of gambling is what make some gambler to be greed and addiction.

These gamblers became greed because they allowed themselves to be a slave with the bad habits. But I don't understand why other old gamblers both managed family and being an occasional gambler. Most probably they earned bigger amount of money I guess.
Unlike what I've learned from gambling was to always value hard earned money not to be used for any form of gambling, just a simple mindset to share reality for everybody.

I learned all the facts about gambling, that you cannot win all the time, but you can lose most of the time, and you should only allocate what you can afford to lose, or if you will it's going to make your life misery, your chances here is always 50 - 50.

Find out why do you gamble, if it's to make money, stay the heck away from it, if it is a leisure activity and you wouldn't mind losing then give a few rolls, nothing wrong with that.

Beside learning the game & getting good at it, the most important thing for me that i learnt while playing was the importance of money. Gambling , especially the losses I faced taught me how to play safe, have a safety money and also how to restrict my spending. Also, I learnt to control my emotions while there is a rush on the table and taught me how to control my excitement.

Nothing wrong if you are getting the enjoyment that you desire to get out from this activities. But make sure not to engaged too much as you can be
addicted and lose all your savings if you fail to separate leisure to vices and what you are aiming. Don't look for this venue as source of your earnings
most of those people who do that suffered from big loses though there's some who can avail to win but the percentage is much lesser.

No, it not that the old gamblers earned big amount of money was the reason they are able to managed their family and still be occasional gambler. What happen is that they simply understand the practical, theory of gambling and built a strategy to gamble profitable which what most of these days not make as their number priority.

@Ahimoth, it not that they let themselves to be enslave with bad habit because what happen is lack of knowledge. When someone lack knowledge about something he'll an ignorant of what he's doing and before he know it, he will be slave of the consequences of his habit.
@Hulla, most gamblers of these day usually said they gamble for fun etc while they do it because of the rewards instead of them to first study how to control their buzz and how to gamble profitably.
 

Addiction will start if you gamble an amount of money that you can't afford to lose, because that will remain in your mind, you will chase your loses because you can't accept your mistake until you create another mistake.

TBH, it's hard to move on when you lose an amount you are not expecting to lose, but there is no way to stop the bleeding but to accept and move on.
That's why gambling is too risky, not because you may lose but because you may get addicted which eventually you are only gambling to lose.

That is when you are being so in to gambling that you people considered you as an addict, with that, you can definitely lose everything, here's my point, there are things that people do the most but with a positive implication to them which could be called passion, and things that most people do but implies negatively to them that could be considered as addiction.

So if you are playing and you think that it is not making any sense but you still plays, probably you are already an addict in gambling but if you mostly win when playing and it is too often, then consider it as your passion

Those are all part of the learning process, and if a person has few awareness of what's he's doing on gambling? Certainly he will be tied up with those consequences. No excuse for that mate, all of us learned from the experiences that we had regardless of how bad or good it was. Don't let the failures pull you down, always be strong and use that as your core strength to achieve success from what you've learned.

Certainly and you're right about not letting the failure part to let you down but what I'm saying is that there are some rightful process a gambler need to be aware of in other to be a successful gambler and not be slaughtered just like how some not knowledgeable crypto trader are prey in the market.
That the logical truth of every business and investment setting.

There's nothing bad in using gambling as a profiteering area if the gamblers have required knowledge and understanding about the game. However, I have a couple of friends which does no other job than sport gambling and they are doing good simply because they know what they are doing.
@Debonaire217, gambling and thinking it doesn't make nay sense and gambling go the extent of using fund meant for another purpose which I believe that through an act of addict are actually different.


Good expressions and there's a saying that "If you are not inspired by being informed, you will expire by becoming deformed".
I also believed the power of knowledge is needed to thrive in every circumstance.

I realized the importance of money as a gambler. It taught me how to control your spendings and limit them. Also , beside getting good at the game itself, it somewhere taught me how to read people , think about next move and also control my excitement in rush situations. Through gambling , I also got into BTC trading, so somewhere it taught me trading too .

As a gambler, we shouldn't be addicted to it because in most cases we will lose money continuously. While gambling we should always gamble on the timely manner because if we continuously gamble definitely we are going to lose money. Gambling itself indicates there is no word for guarantee while investing your money.

There are many things I've realized already even I don't have a lot of experience in it. Patience is one of the things I learned in gambling, it's a key to win in the game other than strategy.

Control is a must too, if you don't have control then your future will be affected if you've done something wrong. I highly recommend having experience in gambling because it's a similar thing when you're having a difficult decision in life, it will help you to gain knowledge on what to do.

Experience is the best teacher and also learning from other experience has made me learnt that gambling consider it for entertainment and not as a regular job where you want to just earn money. Play to enjoy and not to only make money and if you win be more than happy as it is bonus. This will only make you happy and not greedy.

Gambling is really not the solution when you are in need of money, it is not the best way to make money, it can ruin your life more if you lose at the end if you rely on it. Those who are not playing gambling really does have a bad impression of gambling because they never try their luck or they never experience it for them to know the feeling when playing gambling. Maybe they have just contented already on what they have that is why they don't really care on some other things.

Controlling self is what I learned in the gambling too before I did not discover on how to control my self unless I will lost a lots of money  and after I came back playing I will practice myself to control playing gamblinv in every situation to target my winning amount and when I play when I lost my capital that extra I did not play again unless I have more money to use.

while everyone is saying that gambling must be for entertaining yet no one is truly unto it,because we can only say this but we cannot fulfill specially if we have enough money to play right?

only those people that is not really into gambling are those people that can manage this kind of advice but the majority/fails to do the same thing lol

Yes, but the problem is when the gamblers are playing gambling games for a long time, they will have a chance to become addicted. They will not think about the time and the money that they will spend because they want to win the money. So the only way that we can do is prevent ourselves from playing for a long time, and we must have control of our minds. It is hard but that will worth to try so you should learn how to control yourself.

It's easy to say that you need to control yourself, but actually, that's the tough part of it. I suffered from gambling addiction a few months ago it's hard to recover from it. Because if you have nothing to do at your house you will think of playing some games and spending a small amount of money but when you are losing the bet is getting bigger and eventually you will lose all of your money. I think for me what I've learned in gambling is to don't treat it like a habit or a part of your entertainment time, because eventually, it will destroy you. Sometimes enjoy when playing but don't do it regularly, and If you are suffering from gambling addiction, focus on other types of entertainment and spend your time doing other things.

The only way to get rid of envy gambling is to spend some time with other things without paying attention to the dice.
Because when a vicious person has a chance to gamble, he will gamble without hesitation, maybe not necessary and he doesn't think he should, but simply tells himself "what not to do".
But if he turns his head to other things, he soon forgets about the dice, which does not mean that he is now cured, but for some time without a dice, he will open the paths to life.
And the addictive gambler will never work out of pure peace, but the need for armor and sacrifice of the environment.

The only problem that I see here when someone is gambling is that they gamble to double their money or profit hunting through gambling. Which in fact is the main reason why most of these gamblers became addicted because they always chase their losses. Gambling is a good way to become as a source of income. Gambling is designed for entertainment purposes only and when it comes to entertainment it comes with a price.

Ive learnd that we need to be grateful, thankful in everything that we have and will receive, when we win a game we should save the half of it for assurance that in case we lose , still  will be having a profit, when we lose we need to accept it and not to be greedy, because being greedy can only.make us lose more money that we have.

I learned a lot of lessons in gambling, I know prioritize the risk and management after I experience to lose big amount of money. In every type of investments, I always identifying the risks first before I make a move. We can lose our capital if we do not know what we are doing so we should always have a plan about entry and exit points. Handling the risks are not easy and that is why we should train ourselves in terms of taking high risks investment.

But do you think your control over yourself is really good or not? As you said, your control helps you limit the loss and time spent on gambling but obviously, you are still gambling while you know it only brings such loss, control only is relative. Because if you are a good controller, you stop gambling early and don't continue to participate in it until now, it's also the lesson that I get when I become gambler, to throw money into games stupidly, sometimes fun can happen but most only live with sadness and losing money.

I am sure we have a time that we are struggling so hard to control ourselves in gambling, and I am sure that many of us still cannot control ourselves while we want to recover the lost. I like what you say that we don't have to treat gambling is like a habit because we will not make money from gambling. We should use gambling as a part of enjoying life, so we know that we only need to have fun in gambling. When you can do that, I think we control ourselves better than before.



We can build a new habit so we can distract our minds from thinking about gambling because we are too busy with the new thing. But so far, I think it is difficult to start a new habit without help from other people because we need support from them to help us to raise ourselves.

Learning from other experience is really good because you do not taste your money in there. In the time when I came to this field I was very worried about my money and afraid from risks so I not invested in gambling and I played with the bonus of the sites and from there I learned that it is risky to rely for money on gambling and we have to play only with what we can afford for entertainment.

Having a good mindset like this will allow you to keep enjoying, gambling as a source of entertaining makes you feel complete whenever you play the game. But if you will take it as a source of making profits, it will stressed you up and most of the time greed will not let you succeed. Think more careful before you decide if whatever things you might direct your destination learned more about how to control.

I learned that I don't have the temper I used to have as a young adult back when I first graduated.

I used to see gambling as something fun and entertaining and only gambled to pass the time or relax but nowadays when I gamble and things don't go in my way I get angry, don't get me wrong I am not an idiot and I don't chase the losses at all but that doesn't mean that I don't get angry at all I still do.

I am not entirely sure if I should stop or give up gambling all together or if this is just a period but if I keep getting angrier and angrier with time I may actually end up stopping and not gambling anymore unless it is a special occasion.

The purpose of gambling for some people is money but for me it is relaxation and if I don't relax then whats the point of it?

Gambling is a business because everything where you invest is a business for you and in business one has to be fully aware of the outcomes in regard of profits and losses both. I personally analyze risk factor and expected losses prior to the profits offered. Gambling offers great risks and we shall really analyze the game we are gambling on before making bets. Also considering your budget is an important rule. Gambling imparts in you risk management techniques indeed.

thats why it is called gambling because the risk of losing or winning,and you cannot blame them for looking to double their money as that is their target when playing.
but let also credit that in gambling the risk of losing is too big than winning so if we can consider this before playing then enjoyment will take place together with looking for the win.

As a gambler, I have learnt how I take myself so underestimated. I used to think that I could easily fight with myself and that I can just control myself. But when I tried to leave gambling, after few days, the temptation to gamble was so intense and then I knew that how I myself can go against myself and it's not easy to suppress oneself so easily.

You were not underestimating yourself rather you were simply overconfident about your will and power to fully control your emotions and cravings. This is amazing that you have discovered hidden things about you and self discovery is never a bad thing. This will help you in future life for making better decisions. I hope you are not suffering from any kind of addiction. Try to divert your mind towards physical games.

But it’s a problem to find such useful habits that can help us to leave gambling that’s why Better keep gambling but make a limit for it and never cross. We have so many more activities but the chill and income we can get from gambling are hard to get from other ways so I learned to be wise and to be patient in this matter from gambling.

Not only fun brings the gambling to me, Ive learned that I need to control my emotions, emotions can affect really in every game that I am playing, I need to control it, have some patience, I need to accept the fact that I am not always gonna win every game that I am playing, and lastly , it teaches me not to be greedy, and be thankful in every gain and every profit that I am getting, with all these traits, it really helps me in every day trading that I am doing also.

I think that it will not be a problem if we can try to search for another habit. Maybe we can take a look at around us so we can get a new idea to build a new habit that will help us not to think about gambling every day. You can try to visit your friends, hanging out together in some places, and I think that you will get that idea so you can start to do a new thing. You can learn to be wise and patience in gambling so you can have the power to control yourself.

Never lose your money,yes really I did learn this from being a gambler.Maybe it loos very easy to make money from gambling but its actually not and you have the highest risk of losing all your money so when I want to place bets mostly I will try to not deposit any new amount I will just play with what I got and if I am lucky to win I can make that money into big one if not then I shouldn't have to gamble.

I learned as a gambler is to be contented on what you have won, even it is in a low price because it makes a person greedy if he still wishes to win a huge amount of money or a jackpot prize just to be contented with his winnings. I also learned as a gambler is not to have too much expectations on what luck do you only have for you not to be disappointed on what will be the outcome.

It is important to have a discipline, not to be greedy and make good bankroll management. should not create high expectations, should not have emotions. These are things that I realized in the first weeks, another thing I realized was that we should not give up when we have a lose, the most important thing is to have more wins and fewer loses.


I see a lot of people struggling to win the jackpot, I wonder if when they lose they don't get frustrated

Two things I learned in gambling is one discipline in when to stop. Maybe a lot of gamblers are having a hard time when to stop specially when they keep on winning, but in my case I can stop when I need specially when I reached my goal already. Second is how to bank my profits, others will just keep their funds in their accounts but in my case learned how to transfer my profits in my BTC wallet to secure my gains and keep my capital in my account (casino or dice site).

Well, just like the others said "self discipline" will be the first thing that someone will learn after you get through gambling addiction. I may not call myself an addicted gambler since I already had self discipline before I engaged into gambling. Earning money through your day job ain't easy, I'd rather spend every bit of it to feed my family to spend it in gambling.
What I ultimately learned is to gamble with just little money and enjoy the moment while you're gambling as this is just a form of an entertaining yourself with money involved.

if a gambler come to apply these two?for sure there will be no Losers in gambling because this is the total meaning of being disciplined gambler.

learning when to stand from the table win or lose?and learn how to keep the money from winnings and not spending for just luxurious things.

Little did we know that when we start to gamble, we're going to be on the short end of the deal. I have learned it the hard way. Became addicted, lost a lot, that's why lately, I just play and have fun and entertain myself. I'm no longer have the adrenaline rush to wager big amount of money because I know that chances to win are very slim.

Might as well play some small money, enjoy the time, simply as that.

no doubt for most people who are very fanatical about gambling, of course he assumes that gambling can have a bad impact on his life, especially for those who are already very addicted to always playing it. there have been many cases of gambling addiction that caused gamblers to lose all their possessions, so I strongly disagree if there is someone who wants to get money quickly he must go gambling

If you have that control then you will be contented with how things works there's no need to rush things out and desire to win big. Always be reminded that this activities is really addicted and if you failed to control your emotions then you will ends up losing. Worse, you'll ends up addicted and lose everything inside your savings.

You really are a very professional gambler. How long have you managed to control yourself in gambling? I am still not consistent in controlling myself. However, I was successful enough not to experience addiction and other bad behavior because of the effects of gambling defeat. Indeed the most difficult part is to stop. You are really good at it

For being a long time in cryptocurrency most of the time, I spent my whole day playing gambling because I want to play card games and dice and by the Influence of the peers they support and give a knowledge how to start in gambling and by the time goes by I learned a lot of things that can improve my self to face a good opponents, in gambling you think you are strong enough to play against another player but that's wrong because there is a player too that can conquer the whole game and can defeat you all, gambling not just full of excitement and win the game it is for lose also because in every game there is a loser still, those lose is bring you down to lose hope and play again else use those failure to improve more and perform again.

I have learned that as a grown human and I can still cry.. lol. All jokes aside it did helped me with my math a bit, I wasn't really caring about math equations before I started all of this, I am not working in a job that requires me to have any math at all so my last mathematics related thing was back in high school 15 years ago when I started gambling but now I can do off the top of my head mathematical calculations, sure they are not really that difficult normally but they were difficult when I first started, I used calculators back in those days, now I can do two digit times two digit numbers and that is not half bad for someone who neither needs or wants to know any math at all and normally pretty horrible anything related to math.

If your job requires any math at all or if you had any previous math experience you may not know what I am talking about.

What I have learnt from my gambling experience is that the more you gamble the more you will lose.
If you want to try your luck it is the best to do it only once. And the thing that everybody is aware of "Do not gamble money that you cannot afford".

I've learned alot from gambling,  one of the best lesson is not to make a decision when angry, and never chase a loss money during gambling,  because you will be more eager to win by all means thereby neglecting to calm down and think about the strategy or technique that ought to be used in winning

Well, gambling gives me a lesson not to gamble, because when you choose to gamble with any reason then in the end you will continue to gamble unknowingly it will make you a gambling addict. At least that's what I realized when I was active in gambling every day and even so, after leaving gambling the thought of returning was always there so that the real lesson could be learned was about self-control.

The other lesson from gambling is always limit the money that you use to gamble because without limiting the money, you cannot have a chance to save some money to play gambling on another day. Besides money, you also need to limit the time that you use in gambling so you can stop playing gambling if you think it is enough to play gambling for that day. Besides limiting the money and money, you should not be greedy in gambling because that can make you lose the chance to save the money if you win.

I don't think the limit is the perfect way to save oneself from overspending or spending too much time on gambling and the last time i checked learning how to balance both emotions, buzz and losses are the right characteristics needed the most of be a profitable gambler and these are what i learnt so far through gambling.

Apart from being a good entertainment that helps me to relax after a busy day and to regain my strength so that I could do my job, gambling has helped me to understand probability better. I may be wrong, but I think that the better you understand probability, the easier to come up with a right decision in your everyday life.

Yes this is what I am talking about. It is not only for us to have money or to make it as a source of income but rather it coule be our source of fun. If you are having fun in gambling I think it more likely you will win your game, and also you may accept every lose fairly because you are enjoying it. It teaches me to enjoy little things and little earnings.

It is something much more deeper than stopping though. Somehow complicated to elaborate but as you go play and gamble, you'll sooner handle much more differently than you used to. Some personal perspective prior to playing. Anyway getting back to the topic itself these are just the most learning I am taking off more important.

Just some takeaways I am living off whenever I gamble.
  

• Always have a plan before playing
• Don't let emotions take over on what you are playing
• Alert yourself on when to stop

It may all sound simple but it is very important to me.

I havent able to reach that certain state where i do become addicted with gambling because as early as i do able to realize that making money out of gambling is really hard to sustain.
I do have that thing in mind to become rich with it but it does work on the opposite way which made me realize that luck what matter most in here and we know that we arent lucky anytime.
Before i do lost up soo much money i do able to stop midway and preventing myself to have more damage when it comes to financial.Dont let yourself get addicted before you do eventually learn.

There is nothing bad in gambling more but it shall be paired with great control over emotions and especially greed. Greed makes thing worse when you are gambling often. When you win some good money, definitely you get inclined towards big bets which are offering great money. I like gambling when I am playing with the money from my savings not with the money that I have borrowed from someone.

There is another point which is very important that is if you want to continue for longer and do not want to be empty sooner then you have not to go for bigger bets. Better option for any successful gambler is to gamble with lower amounts which will not only keep you in the game for longer time but it will also give you much knowledge for the future purpose and with that knowledge it is possible that you may win good number of bets.

I know that there are many gamblers that use borrowed money to gamble. That is a characteristic of a worst gambler. In gambling, there is no certainty to win your bets or else many became rich with gambling. And it will be more difficult to pay the borrowed money because there is an additional interest on it.

For some gambling addicts this might not be problematic enough, because many gamblers also have strong beliefs. But in my opinion if someone has reached that point, borrowing money to gamble then that person is already at the stage of a heavy gambling addict.

---

It seems like this question is very simple but I have some answers for OP,

• Learn how to win, tricks, and tips that still work, It is inevitable that many gamblers will find out from various sources how they can continue to win. Learn tips and tricks that are usually shared by gamblers on Google and even from the experience of friends themselves.
• Control emotions, This part is difficult for most gamblers. Many gamblers cannot control their emotions because of various things. Gambling makes many people feel curious so that sometimes they don't realize that the contents of the wallet are empty.
• Manage finances, Too eager to win more is a gambler's fault in my opinion. I think a gambler must be good at managing their finances both when they win and even when they lose. When they cannot manage it well, they may become poor because they have used up all their wealth to gamble.

One of the big takeaways I learned as a person who occasionally gambles is that the odds are against you in many cases, and that's just fine. House edge is present in almost every game imaginable, and you just have to accept that and most importantly realize that it's not realistic to expect massive profits or even a little profit from gambling at all, but rather losses most of the time. I still gamble because there's a massive amount of entertaining games out there on various casinos and new ones releasing every day, and I'm fine with losing the relatively small amount of money I gamble weekly for entertainment.

It's amazing how gambling makes losing money interesting, but until you try it you won't know?
There are a lot of interesting games that you can play without being hooked up, but again, hooking up is far more interesting because it gives that adrenaline rush and irresistible feeling.

Actually, we can learn much as a gambler, but sometimes we didn't realize that because we are too busy with the games. Some of us will say that they learn about how to play gambling with smooth, but the fact is when they got lost, they lose the power to control themselves, and soon or later, they become addicted to gambling. If they can realize the lesson from gambling, I am sure that they will not have trouble in gambling.

The truth is that many in gambling are learning their own lessons the hard way, some the hardest like those who really lost everything in gambling. I hope we don't have to lose our properties and families in order to start learning our lessons. Gambling is a vice whether we like it or not and we need to limit it to the minimum. That is my lesson from gambling. Controlling it is a necessity.

1. Understand the game before playing it.
2. Don't wager more than you can afford to lose.
3. Know when to quit.
4. Don't chase losses.

Gambling is all about skills and knowledge on how to play and win the game. A gambler who has a lot of experience in playing can win their game easily because they have a lot of techniques that they already adopt on their previous plays. Still, not all the time a professional gambler wins the game because honestly, there are a lot of good traders that can beat us even we have a lot of knowledge in gambling. If we lose a game, this is not the end and makes a better of you. A gambler who loses a lot of games getting more excitement on his self because we want to make a comeback and revenge that desire makes us more want to play gambling games.

I agree with you, except for the part about the probability of winning your game. What gambling has taught me is that the chance of winning doesn't depend on my mood. I can lose when having fun, and I can win when I'm bored and frustrated. What you shouldn't do when feeling bad is depositing again after losing your balance. That's for sure. But playing with your balance, which you can afford to lose, is okay. And even a small win can brighten your day. Yeah, enjoying little things and little earnings. You said it right, mate.

The fun factor could work more on skill-based gambling, especially if the gambler is willing to learn the game. I don't see it working on luck-based gambling unless maybe "luck" is on the side of the gambler. Fun factor removes fear & enables concentration. But concentrating on luck-based game wouldn't improve the game, (i guess) because it's based on probability.

We have so many things we learn from gambling. Above you mentioned is very right, we should learn the consequences before playing. When you chase losses the big lose you will get so just play that you can afford to lose. Others become addicted into gambling because of aiming to win big, no self control and being greedy. So many things learn from gambling and let’s serve these as a lesson.

Losing our money or our properties will be okay, but losing our family is a big no for us. We can't lose the family because they're mean everything to us, and we can do whatever to get our family fine. The big lesson that we should get from gambling is controlling ourselves, and we must try not to lose too much money in gambling. When someone can control themselves in gambling, he will have a chance to stop the game at any time.

Trying to recover amount that you already lose is a big no inside this industry, you will keep losing since you are aggressive and you do rushing
to in back those losses that you've got. Learning how to be patient and enjoy whatever the outcome might brings to your game is better instead
of engaging to much since your goals is to win or to recover everything.

not a big no because many are still doing it .  some failed and some succeed and they earn a little more just by chasing thier losses   .  

its not bad to chase losses and its not against the rules of every gambling site  but its only up to you if what you believe   .  chasing losses does not mean that you are an unprofesional gambler but what if its your first time to loose big  ? and most of the time you manage to win   .  would be a good idea to try to recover what you lost at least sometime   ?

Another thing I learned as a gambler: never loan somebody with a gambling addiction any money, unless you never want to receive it back.

Odds are high that they'll gamble with your money, lose it, then be further in the hole than they started. They'll often use a variety of excuses or tricks to get you to provide the loan, but you need to resist since a desperate man will say anything.

Those who do not gamble only for money are the ones who have learned amazing and healthy habits from gambling. Gambling has undoubtedly effects on gamblers patience; it makes them take correct decisions under pressure without losing mind and calmness. Gambling trains them for such situations of practical life where you have to take decisions within seconds and that too crucial one.

Losing your gambling money may be okay but not the properties. If one's gambling vice has come to a point that properties are sold just to support it, I guess that is already crossing the line and the gambler has to urgently seek a professional intervention to stop it and avoid it getting worse. If that happens, what follows is more devastating. Your properties are next to your family. Selling your house or lot or even your car and home appliances is already a sign of gambling addiction.

I agree, most people wanted to double their money when they play gambling but we all know that gambling is base on luck most of the time so we are not sure on that part that we can actually double our money. Not all people becoming successful and getting their goal through gambling butas long as we all know out limitations then its okay to gamble.

Absolutely. But another thing that I've learned from gambling is that even in skill-based games luck is still a too big factor to be ignored. That's why even if you are very good at playing poker, for example, and you are in a very good mood, and concentrated and all, you shouldn't go for huge bets anyway. You can lose Aces full of Queens to Quads(happened to me the other day) because of bad luck, and however good you are, you can't fold Aces full of Queens, ever.

Beside learning the game itself & strategy related to it, I also learnt the value of money & started spending it judiciously. Losses in gambling taught me how to save and limit of expenses, especially during the hard times when I had very lil money to get a blind to play. 

This is something you are going to value all of your life if you have learned this lesson from gambling i.e. being thrifty in regards of spending money. This is really something tough for young people to do. Controlling your desires give you massive success and advantages in practical life. What I believe is that you are not and addict since you never borrowed money for gambling and used whatever you had.

It's a great lesson that everyone will eventually learn. You will start to value your money when you have earned that very hard and you have nothing left when you allowed to lose all that you've got. Lesson like this comes from the hardest times that a gambler will face, we start to appreciate things like money when it's not anymore on us. So while it's on your side and you're in the turn of being lucky, don't waste it and spend it wisely and gamble responsively.

But if you lose so much money, that will not be okay because that means you risk your money in a large amount. Losing the property will be very bad to get because your property is like a machine to make money, and if you lose that property, that means you can not make money too. Once that happens, the next thing that you will lose is your family. You must learn many things about gambling from those examples so you can be careful when you play gambling and don't spend too much money.

provide emotional maturity and are always connected with improving learning strategies, no gambler is always successful and must always anticipate conditions. As an adult I always put more emphasis on family responsibilities, this is what always keeps me balanced when I am at a disadvantage in gambling.

It's true that there's no gambler that is always on the successful path because there are rough roads that we'll take. But there will always be successful gamblers that applied what they've learn and corrected the mistake they've committed.

Responsibilities over hobby is what makes you a better man but before doing it, always set aside the other things and settle it so that you gamble at peace without anything to worry.

i love gambling after doing my responsibility as a good father to my kids and wife  . this makes me gamble with a peace of mind and that is good too because i can act and think properly  .  

it makes me more succesful on my short term goals  . still it does not mean that you will win like me if you do that strat because like what you guys said  , there is no always succesful when playing a gambling and even the pro themselve do also know how to loose  .

Theoretically, gambling can teach someone to manage their money, but normally, it's the other way around. You should first learn how to manage your capital, and start gambling only after that. You can improve your skills in this regard with gambling, that’s true. But don't start to gamble before you know the basics.

Not only getting money is the thing that we can get, learning is more important and it can be obtain in gambling , patience in every game is ehat Ive learned as a gambler, especially in crucial times , when I almost losing the money , but still Im in moderation , I dont want to get addicted and frustrated , emotional learnings is what I get in gambling and it is good.

Your post reminded me of another significant thing I've learned from gambling. Sometimes to continue what you are doing is not necessarily the right thing to do. When you are losing again and again, it's probably better to stop before it's too late, instead of proceeding with pursuing your goal. Slogans like "Don't give up! and "Keep trying!" are inapplicable to gambling, as well as to some other activities in real life. For example, if you fail over and over again in attempts of finding a particular job, maybe you should stop trying to get that particular job, and focus on finding a different one.

I learned that you should limit on the time you allocate in gambling, because the most time you are on it, the mind will always evolve on it, like if you always spend 6 hours daily and it becomes your routine, you will always looking forward to gambling daily.

Two things I've learned in gambling are one discipline in stopping. Some gamblers may have a hard time stopping, particularly when they keep on winning, but in my case I can stop when I need it, particularly when I have already achieved my target. Second, how to bank my money, others will keep their funds in their banks, but in my case I have learned how to transfer my money to my bitcorn wallet to protect my earnings and hold my resources in my account.

You need not to engaged yourself and allocate spaces inside your mind. Just play normally  and keep enjoying whenever you are betting with your favorite
games or sports bets with your players or teams that your are supporting. It will developed positiveness if you  don't think much regarding to your next pick or next set goals. Keep it moving normally and your outcome will positive since you are not going to overspend your time and money.

Gambling for some people is very negative because it gives people addiction. We should be wise together with our decisions because it helps us on what we should do and move in the environment of gambling. We should control ourselves interms of money because money is a basic need in order for us to live longer and survive in this world. Gambling is not answer in our financial problems but it makes the problem more critical. The solution for this problem is to work, be wise, control the money we have in order for us to survive and have sufficient money for our daily lives.

and those mentioned is the most important part of our gambling career,because if you can stop yourself from continues playing,you also know how to bank your money,things that i also learn from my npast experiences .

Very important thing as many would not be able to control themself in game of gambling once they start playing it . Even if they are winning want to win more and if losing then playing to recover more money from it. Stopping becomes difficult in such situation .

As a gambler i learn a lot, i learn how to be control my self and not to be greedy. I learn also how to save money when i won in gambling. When the time i enter gambling I'm so greedy and have no control to my self that is why i lose when i gamble. So many times i lose now learn that if no have luck i stop gamble and i go back tomorrow. Then when i feel I'm luck i go forward then when i got won i save some of my winnings.

From my own experience during gambling that there will be lessons that lead to negative effects, on the other hand because my initial purpose of gambling is to grow a sense of pleasure so maybe the effect of greed can be avoided, but more addicted and finally I prefer to play in games that don't even require bet.

The thing I learned was how to grow the adult way of thinking where we always take into account all aspects of playing (gambling).

They should probably just focus on skill-based gamblings and learn them well enough. I think that is the only way a serious person can profit from gambling without cheating. It's a matter of being dedicated and acquiring knowledge/skills to succeed in your prefered skill-based gambling.

The eagerness to earn profit and to regain all losses is always the reason why we hard to stop playing gambling. It also becomes my problem when I'm playing gambling and its totally hard to stop especially if keep on winning. One that I have learned as a gambler is to know when you need to take the risks because I want to apply it in my trading activity but right now I still studying it. Another thing that I have learned is how can you manage your money like how much money will you allocate to play gambling.

Well, without releasing or paying money in games to play or to gamble, there's no profit that we could get. Basically if you want to earn money in gambling, then you should have funds to risk, if you are just playing then it couldn't be classified as gambling, or else, bet something that has a value other than cryptocurrency or fiat money.

This two could be a different thing and it could be done in different approach.

If you think of just winning back your loses, then you will surely lose as eventually you will become desperate, however if you focus on your purpose which is to win, your approach is more professional as you are also willing to accept your loses in case you lose and give up that goal because you accepted you have no skills to win in gambling consistently.


I think it's more positive compared to not having the control to stop even if you are already losing.


Gambling is not only a game of luck because there are a lot of games where there is no house edge, if you really have the skills, you can capitalize it and be smart and willing to take the risk.

Or, maybe, they should just learn something entirely different. If you are inclined to learn a skill-based game to succeed in it, how about learning computer programming and finding a good paying job after that? You can treat that as a game too, and you can have fun with it, only this real life game is less dependable on luck and thus more interesting to play for those seeking a skill-based gaming.

I learned that people with gambling addictions will often stoop to lows you never expected of them just to make sure they can keep playing.

With that in mind, never lend to a gambling addict, it will not end well eventually.

It depends on gamblers that how much time they wanted to spend in gaming and how much time they get free to spend in gambling. Being a gambler I got to know that involving yourself in gambling is better than spending time frees but try to give your time to family as well and make a schedule for gambling and follow it.

Never lose your money, yes I've really learned this from being a gambler. Maybe it's very easy to make money from gambling but it doesn't really make it and you're at the highest risk of losing all your money so when I want to place bets mostly I'll try not to deposit any new money I'll just play with what I've got and if I'm lucky to win I can make it big if I don't have to.

And that's what you have learned as a gambler.

Despite of the bad thought that it's getting from most people, you are proving them wrong that it won't change the way you provide things for your family and also, they can learn from you as a gambler.

at some point, the loss is not always intentional, and also not something to be expected if it only depends on luck. In a different perspective I learned more ways to anticipate with Martingale and other techniques for managing money and profits that must be saved. This basic understanding makes me better understand how to play gambling comfortably.

Never lose too much that is the right thing. We cannot avoid the fact that we are prone to any losses, because we cannot perfect each game , I mean I think the online casino for example has a unpredictable result so I think we need to think that in every game losing is part of the game, but losing too much is bad and we need to change our strategy .

I would categorize my learnings throughout my gambling experience into two (2) categories, namely: Personal and Social aspect.

For the first category, my personal life has been continuously improving especially with my relationship to my family. Ever since I moved on from my gambling addiction, I always make it a point to overcompensate to the people that I have affected throughout my stay. I try my best to support my family members in both financial and in the spritual aspect.

On the social aspect, my relationship with my peers have been better ever since I got out from my addiction. I also managed to save up some cash in order to start my own business soon.

Life can be very tricky and I don't really have the calmness that I claim I do. Sometimes I win a lot of money while gambling thanks to sports teams winning when they should and everything is great, if I lose on sportsbooks it is a 90 minute match so I think I get used to the idea of losing as well.

However, sometimes when I play the casino games they are super fast and even tho there is a chance of you winning a lot of money back to back, there is also a chance you can lose ALL your money in 30 seconds, like lets assume you did martingale (bad idea) and you lost 10 times in a row, that would eat up all your money and 10 bets in a row takes at most 30 seconds, so all of your money could be gone that quickly. I just don't like that risk anymore, at least not at this age.

As a gambler, I knew how to not underestimate myself. I figured I could compete with myself quickly and I could just control myself. But when I tried to leave gambling after a couple of days, the gambling urge was so strong and then I realised how I could go against myself and it wasn't that easy to quit. So what I did I just stopped completely and now I barely never gamble just a few trades here and there on sports.

-I wish that most or all of the gamblers know that attitude that you learned too :(
-It isn't and it will never be :D. Those who are thinking that gambling is another source of income are either gambling addicts or stupid gamblers.
-I didn't learn this in gambling but in playing online games although I have learned it too while I'm gambling.
-No idea what this is and don't need it anyway :D.
-I don't want to educate other people especially if they are not interested into it.

i hope everyone of us have this same learning,that we must expect losing so whenever we play let us consider about the chance of risking our money again so limit the playing time and lessen the gambling habit.this is what we need to be for safe gambling.

Expecting to lose is just like gambling to waste money, it's not a good mentality IMO, I think what's important is you accept if you lose but you still aim to win because aside from entertainment, winning is our purpose in gambling too.

well we have our own opinion about how to treat gambling,because for me it is better to expect the losing than the winning and in the end failure is what we've got.

i have been in bad shape of gambling in past and this is what i have learn for me to get over and start to move to better way of gambling.whenever we look for winning this always brings us desperation and goes to addiction sometimes.

Every person has a different mindset, sometimes there are some people who find it difficult to leave their habits. Actually leaving the world of gambling is easy to depend on yourself and will seriously leave it. Also, finding habits and doing useful activities will make you slowly leave gambling. If not the habit will come back again and destroy you slowly.

That is what we need to do in gambling. Controlling ourselves will be the important thing in gambling, so we can prevent the worst thing that can happen. We learn many things in gambling, including how to limit our money. And we can learn how to stop as soon as possible if we see that we don't have a chance to win. Stopping gambling will be the last lesson for gamblers because that will not easy to do because we need to have the power to control our minds to leave gambling forever.

Would it be better to consider if we are expecting to lose, we are being pessimistic and being prepared interms of psychological impacts if it really happens to us? Because if we are always looking forward to win and to expect to win will just make our emotional aspect weak especially we might be depressed if we lost too much despite of all the hope we have to win.

Suppose I were given the opportunity to share a lesson about gambling with those who have never gambled, maybe I just want to say there is no need to gamble because there are many other more ways for you to make money. But, what is happening right now is that it is difficult for me to find people who have never gambled, and when they have known gambling then at least they have their own way of life and understand what should be left and not.

Spending money on gambling can be done in minutes but it took years to earn that money so be aware of what I am doing while betting is my primary learnt less from gambling.

Be greedy to make money but don't choose the easy way is my another lesson from the experiences of gambling.

I am not an active gambler but sometimes I play gambling with my friends and bet playing cards, and what I experience does not seem to have an effective meaning to be learned from gambling other than being patient and controlling myself.
and that is all possible in theory but difficult when directly experienced and I limit gambling and do not want to be an active gambler who in my opinion is not good for me.

I agree. Everything is easier said in theory than in practice. Saying is always easier than doing. I also agree that a person like you who is not really an active gambler can easily practice patience and control compared to the older gamblers. It is my general observation that old gamblers are already addicted to a certain extent compared to those who are only playing for the sake of having fun with friends.

This is true, gambling is all about luck. In very limited cases people get to make an earning using some strategies. In simple learned the value of money, because when I don't need much money I had it in my wallet. This is all through gambling and trading, but when required my wallet is empty. This made me realize the true value of money and how to spend it.

The negative side of gambling can indeed be addictive and it can happen to anyone who likes to play gambling. When I play gambling every day, I have learned tricks and strategies in gambling, but in the end I still lose too, even though I have won, but the number of my wins is only a little.

Yes you are right. Gambling must be done when a person gets complete sense of drawing a fine line between the responsibilities and fun. A responsible person would never prefer to get all his money into the stream of gambling without keeping an eye on his losses and wins. So in order to stay safe from the addiction one muse bear some level of maturity.

Right risk is all around us and we will have to face it bravely. We should learn from gambling that where there is profit there will be lose as well. Gambling teach me how to earn with enjoyment. Gambling taught me to be patient and it's joyful way of earning money. Being gambler I have become so confident to face problems.

Gamble from time to time and don't find it a source of income, particularly not your main source of income. Gamble on the things you know about. If you're playing sports than betting on the sports that you understand and obey. Don't look at the odds and make their assumptions. A serious player is playing single matches and only the matches they know about. That's the only way you can make money out of it.

Okay, gambling teaches me a lesson not to play, and when you choose to play with any excuse, you will end up playing unknowingly, making you a gambling addict. At least that's what I knew when I was involved in daily gambling, and even so after quitting gambling there was always the possibility of returning so that the real lesson could be learned was about self-control.

I learned in gambling that it shouldn't be treated as a source of income because it can wipe out your money in an instant.

I learned many things on gambling like self control, proper discipline etc. but when I start in gambling, what I think is gambling can be considered as another source of income but I'm wrong. I got lost so many times in gambling and in the end, I learned that it can't be a source of income. Maybe I'm stupid but I'm a newbie at that time :D and at least now I learned to my mistakes.

actually most of us old time gamblers had already this realization,and not allowing to lose all our money again.
we are all wrong,specially us who has already accept our mistakes and dont let it happen again,i am proud to be one of those also.
and that is what we need to accept for us to be saved from becoming a bad ass gambler.Congrats mate as i am also done in that stage.

Basically if you have allot of money, it is a good way to challenge yourself and to test your luck. If you are gambling in a daily basis and you hope it could make you a millionaire then probably not. What you need is a job that will enable you to live and if you've already saved allot, then try to trust your luck then.

Thats human kind sometimes they want to be a millionaire quickly yes they can get it with gambling but of course it won't be easy if we don't have luck like gods lol

Gambling is not a good way to earn money. This is not your point of view .But is not the perspective of individuals who have actually earned much through this method. In the long run gaming is not reliable but I have found that people are getting addicted to it. Moreover some others claim that they gamble just because of fun.

Due to many replies here and would surely take me long to read all of this so i'd just base this reply on the op. Most gamblers learned as a gambler is that gamblers losing percentage is higher than winning percentage but it would also provide you fun, satisfaction and other.

I just remembered jet another important thing I've learned as a gambler. If you bet on something to happen, and the probability of its happening is high, you are not going to win big. In fact, you can win only a fraction of your bet, sometimes less than 10% of its size. To win big you should go against the crowd(in sports betting) or against the odds(in games like dice). Of course you shouldn't risk more money than you can afford to lose, in the first place, but if that part is settled, the game is more fun when you go against the odds. And this applies to some things in real life too. 

If anything, gambling allowed me to discover the true power of randomness

And how far it can go and take us, in both negative and positive directions (in terms of wins and losses). Speaking in more concrete terms, it is the extreme variance of random events (remember, random is not uniform) that we should be well aware of and particularly careful with when dealing with such events. It is not regular outcomes that typically make our lives difficult and unpleasant but statistical outliers (black swans in Nassim Taleb's terms) that ultimately come to ruin us. Simply put, randomness can be your best friend as well as worst enemy

One prime example would be dice and an approach to playing it known as martingale. Most players massively underestimate the power of variance in this game when using such a strategy. They can play for a day or two, and then proceed to erroneously assume without critically evaluating the assumption that they are never going to see longer losing streaks. So they continue to stake more and more in pursuit of greater profits until variance finally catches up with their greed (which knows no limits) and gets them completely unprepared


Absolutely agree with this point unless you know how to change the odds in your favor

Gambling thought me to be fearless to continue betting despite the inassurance of winning. Though it leads me to be hanged for hours of continuous gambling, all I felt was fun tho. Hence, gambling is somehow negative indeed, but it gives you fun and excitement that trading or holding cant.

Yes. It has become difficult in today’s world to point out those people who haven’t tried gambling ever in their life. I think that giving lessons to gamblers and the people who are unaware of it can never bring desired results. Gambling addiction has become common and it is only possible to quit gambling when the person himself tries to get out of it. Otherwise advice is not the solution.

I have realised recently that gambling has taught me how to keep my mind cool no matter how bad is the situation. Patience is key to succed in gambling. I also learner to control my spending and understand my limit. Earlier I used to be careless when I was gambling now it has changed a lot.

I knew I couldn't underestimate myself as a gambler. I thought I could easily deal with myself and just be able to control myself. But after a couple of days I tried to leave gambling, the urge for gambling was so strong and then I realised how I could go against myself and it wasn't that easy to quit. So I just stopped completely what I did and now I'm just playing here and there only a few trades on games.

I have learnt many things and one of them is we can't really ever leave gambling. Ever. Period. Maybe we can control it, but can't leave completely.

Now, the effects of gambling is limited when we play with own funds and the real problem begins only when we start to borrow funds for it. That's when it's going to bite us. Never, ever ask for money. Busted food money? Starve for a day, work hard and earn that money back. The day you will learn that there's no one else from whom you can take money and going into debt trap, you will just be fine.

But you have not learned correctly about gambling and addiction in gambling as people do not get addicted in gambling if they do care while gambling. Many sensible people are gambling and they know that how to manage the timing and the money which he have for gambling. They are playing from a longer time and they still are not addicted like others to lose all of their wealth in gambling.

The point where wise and fools are differentiated. Wise gamblers knows the very reason why they are inside the gambling house making money in the process of using different strategies while fools are just there trying to find some lucks but didn't have any sets targets. Ending up completely busted.
Learned how to limits and value the purpose of your stay are the best things things to achieved from this activities.

Even if the hanging is excitement and freshness for you but doesn’t forget about the money that you can make with gambling so gaming taught me how to make money with enjoyment. It is a source of income for so many people the same as me so I use gambling to make money and also enjoy my spare time in gambling it’s the best way to spend your free time for me.

That's an interesting observation

Einstein is credited with the saying that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”. And while I certainly agree with the man on his definition of insanity since this is what most of us are doing most of the time anyway (known as behavior patterns), I can't quite agree that you should stop looking for something which you feel is your thing - let's call it true calling

So if you fail, it may just mean that you are using wrong tools and employing wrong approaches, or simply not properly prepared or motivated. So how's gambling really different in this regard now that we seem to have found a way to beat the house (even if only for a small profit)? The point is, there is false hope, but there is also false hopelessness. And the latter is generally considered much worse than the former

The other lesson from gambling is always to restrict the money you use to play because without restricting the money, you can't save money to play gambling on a different day. Besides money, so you can stop playing gambling if you think it's enough to play gambling for that day, you also need to limit the time you use in gambling. You shouldn't be selfish in gambling besides restricting money and money because that can make you lose the opportunity to save money if you win.

I'm actually not sure if it really is worse. Dozens of millions of people lost their lives in the 20th century exactly because of the following a false hope. At least from the sources I read, it can be concluded that it is better to have no hope at all than a false one. And it is definitely applicable to gambling. If you think you've found a way to beat the house, you better forget about that, mate, the sooner the better.

the problem is can we really restrict our expenses while in gambling table?limited gamblers can adopt to that because the way Gambling was created is to take all our money while casino's are pretending making us enjoying and happy but the truth is?they are taking our money in another way in which we cannot find until we spent all.

what you need is controlling your self from looking to Bet,in this way you can prevent your self from risking your money.

In fact, it's the other way around overall

And it is not just about the people in the 20th century or any other particular period as it is more about the entire history of human civilization. When you are hopeful, even if your hopes appear to be in vain, you are forced to act and still have a chance to succeed in the end, however minuscule that chance might be (as luck or fate may easily turn the tables at any moment). But when you are hopeless, you are giving up all hope and just waiting passively for the axe to fall. As you can see, false hope is better than false hopelessness in the long run specifically because the former forces you to fight despite all odds while the latter to cease all fighting


So far so good, bro

But I agree that this dilemma is fully applicable to gambling, and in a reverse, or even perverse, way. Casinos are exploiting and actually reversing the fact that false hopelessness is worse than false hope. If you feel hopeless, you will obviously avoid gambling at all costs, and thus won't lose anything. However, when you are filled with hopes, you will go on playing and most likely end up losing

Don't be addicted and always remember your families and love ones because, winnings are temporal and not permanent. Never reveal your true identities online and ensure to keep your big winnings to yourself alone. Never think of consecutive wins but be rest assure that; a day to win and a day to loose are very real, embrace them.

And that is the thing which most of the people forget about during gambling, a gambler always think about the money at the time of gambling, they do not think about their family and the greed of money lead them to be addict, most of the people pursue their losses and try to recover them, i think gambling is for entertainment and win and loss is a part of life.

when i gamble i think of my family  .

 i think that if gamble and win i can make them happy but im aware that loosing can occur anytime , that is why i make sure that i secure my coins once or twice i hit a profit  .  i never gamble thinking only of myself  . it helps when you have inspiration because you can control yourself to not be greedy     . 

that is the other thing that i learn as a gambler    .

that's mostly the nature of gamblers, they say they're not addicted, but they often play gambling, and will certainly think about winning and winning, and that's what I experienced too. the lesson that can be taken from gambling is learning to control yourself because when we can control ourselves everything should be fine, even though we continue to play gambling.

It makes me realize that gambling will never assure your fate, it's either good or bad and you can't do anything about it but to accept the fact that it is the outcome of your decision. It teaches me that sometimes luck is not favorable with me and it's fine as long as I know to acquire things from my own mistakes and experiences. It makes me think that I don't have to rely on gambling to satisfy and enjoy myself during leisure time because there are still various of activities that can entertain me like reading some books which can enhance my perspective when it comes to different things. My gambling experience build me for who I am today, maybe I feel remorse regarding my past but I have realize that those experiences help me by guiding me to be on the right path. It teaches me that my life should not focus on gambling because there are something much more important than winning the jackpot, I feel bad by just thinking how gambling affects me as a person. It gives a huge negative impact on my life because of my own mistakes and I admit it but I allow myself to grow and improve that's why I finally know my own limitations. 

As a gambler, the thing that I learn is .. all thing is uncertain until it happens.  Just like in betting, we do not know whether we will win or lose until the result happens.  I do not believe in luck but I do believe in probability. And for that, I think all things is govern by numbers/system.

Well, we are different I am not thinking to my family when gamble because if you lose so much in gambling it will hurt you too much base on my experience before. That is why I learn and gamble only for fun and gamble only if you have extra money because if you don't have extra and you just get money from your salary it will hurt if you lose.

That's the thing that I learn when gambling you need to make sure that you have control of your self and think that gambling is not a life saver.

I have learnt a lot in gambling and the particular I must mentioned here is PATIENCE and not to be too GREEDY even though things are working in my favor as at the time of playing gambling once I get my target Winn I pull out. This is because greed in gambling is one of the problem why people lose much of their capital.

Yes, even in trading you need a very lot of patience there since, we cannot win in an instant , but most of all we need not to be greedy, that is the main enemy of the gamblers since we are experiencing some losses, we become to greedy when we win as well, we need to be thankful for what we have and what we have already won, whether it is lose or not we need to accept all the happenings when we play.

Greed if you unable to handle mostly cause the damage into your capital. If you learned how to control this emotions then the chance to become
more pro from this field will be expected. Skills can be enhance if you are taking things seriously as gamblers making its move whenever they see
opportunities to take advantages within the situations that can lead them to more successful journey.

Yeah, addiction in gambling is really so bad and got many negative effects to the gambler, like probably mental health sometimes and also financial problems and many other bad things. I really dislike to be addicted to that and I just control myself. I learned how to control myself since few months though, as I was kinda addicted few years before.

Skills have nothing to do with the vast majority of games, since they're based on random chance.

However, games like Poker, Chess, Backgammon etc have a strong skill element, and are much less based on luck.

As such, emotions have very little involvement in a pure luck based game, and only alters how much or how little somebody wins over X period of time.

the problem is addicted gamblers treat no one as family but only the games he plays,for addict only gambling places are considered friend and family's.they dont even care what they will risk but important to sustain their addictions.the main thing is let us prevent not engaging in gambling as much as we can to keep safe and prevent from saddest outcome of being gambler,

As a gambler, I learned to have high patience and have right mindset. When I was new in gambling my mindset is just to earn money and I found out that I am wrong. I changed my mindset and my first goal was to enhance my gambling skill and also my strategies and gambling psychology. I can now also identify if an investment is worth it to take or not. We better stay to an investment with high risks and low potential rewards.
