Are risk takers in gambling better risk takers in life?

[Webetcoins]

I think there are non-gamblers but takes a lot of risks in other stuffs. Gambling is about risk too, so yes that it can develop someone's risk appetite. Maybe there are only some that aren't? I mean for me, I already tried risking a lot in gambling before but there are areas on my life that are still the same.

I am still afraid to get out of my comfort zone. In gambling as long as we have money that are ours and we don't have a history of stealing, we can be confident to risk more but if it is outside gambling, it depends. Maybe if our life is already at risk, many are not brave enough to do it because life is only one and can't be returned again once it is gone.

Gambling risk is entirely different from real life risk, if you're taking risk while gambling, its because you have an understanding of the kind of game you're playing and know that you can afford taking it base on your conviction and level of satisfied information you have over what you're betting upon, but in real life, we also have to apply taking risk based on what the condition for that risk requires and if we are being able to fulfil the terms and conditions or not, some risk are worth doing without than taking them.

Totally agree here. In real life i can calculate deals with the information i got and the risk is, that those information are wrong or incomplete. In gambling it is a diffent story. Yesterday i realized that i am not a good poker player, because i had taken too much risk too often. But in the end i guess its some sort of learning curve with progression while you earn more experience.

Do you think that gamblers who take risk a lot in gambling are able to take the same kind of risk in real life because I've been thinking lately what the similarity will be between taking a risk in gambling and taking a risk every life and if a gambler would be in a position to be a better risk taker than a regular individual who does not gamble? Does gambling develops one ability to take risk?

I believe there's going to be a level of influence based on this, if you can take risk when it comes to gambling, I have believe that such person will not be afraid of also taking a life risk or other investment risk, because if you can bear your losses you would incur in the course of gambling, there's literally no other risk investment opportunities I expect a gambler will be afraid of taking on a risk.

You're just circling around the real point. It is about the relationship with risk itself. Everyone gambles. Some gamble with money, some with time, some with relationships, some gamble their own sanity away after stability or status. The difference is not in gamblers from non-gamblers. Some people gamble on purpose, while others gamble without thinking. Often the riskiest people are those who believe they are playing it safe. Living as a machine, defaulting to comfort zones, not willing to stake anything real. But isn’t that the biggest risk? To gamble away from living in order to escape uncertainty? True, life is only one, nevertheless, locking it behind fear is no less of a gamble than less honest. Every second we decide on inertia and gamble against ourselves. Gambling allows one to see their risk with money. The risks outside? Though less obvious, career, relationships, purpose, voice, are costlier. And most never pay attention to the chips they have already pushed into the middle of the table. Staying in your zone does not help you to avoid risk. You just gamble in disguise.

Gambling risk is entirely different from the risk we take in real life no doubt, moreover most of the risk we take in real life can never be compared with that of the risk we take when gambling so there's no need of asking. aside from the risk of gambling with what we can't afford to lose is there any big risk that you know a gambler can take? Of course, I think this is just the major risk that a gambler can take, apart from this I don't see any much risk is gambling.

In my own point of view i don't necessarily see gambling risks takers as people who tend to take some risks in life.. it's a total different thing altogether but sometimes it takes just few that are risks takers in gambling to be able to utilize the risks involved in life. Cause for me I see gambling as another life altogether where the decisions you make matters in giving you the actual results or outcome you want, so taking risks doesn't really stand a chance to say you can be a good risk takers in life. But looking at it ik another dimensions I'll say sometimes gambling risks can energies you to take some level of risks outside it.

I think it exists a kind of risk addiction and a part of gambler addicts, but not all, are addicts to risk actually. It's certainly the category the more likely to get the bigger losses of money unfortunately, because they seek the thrill of risking big amounts of money and putting their lives in danger. Risking few dollars doesn't interest them actually. Many risk addicts like gambling because unlike other risks you can take in your life like driving fast, at gambling you get an instant reward for this risk.

Decisions are part of our life but its not something that you would really be trying out to attached with on having that gambling kind of approach because if you do have this kind of consideration then every decisions be made will really be that look like a desperate thing because if you do wanted something and since you do want to take up that opportunity then you would definitely gamble specially if we do speak about relationships on which taking up decisions that you do really know that it could cost you then its not really that worthy at all.

I do really that disagree that making up life decisions on gamblers perspective because it is really just that two different things. Yes, we do really need to take up some decisions in life but we should really be that choosing into those decisions on which that giving out that benefit for us on which its common sense. Although we are just human beings on which every decisions be made is really that being affected out with some factors on which it will that be different on what most people that might do or choose up.

Life situations and dealings when it comes to decision making then it will really be that basing up into someones mentality and sensibility on the situations that they are into. Selecting out on whats the best for them and would act out accordingly. Taking up risks will be that ideal when it comes to investment or something that pertains about business and economical approach on which this will really be that pertain about financial development and progress but of course risks is always present.

Being a risk-taker is a kind of behavior of a person. If you can afford to risk money in gambling, that certainly shows who we are. Maybe some people are not like that, but I believe the majority are doing this.

I could really say it is because I observed some of my friends who are into gambling, as they had changed already when it comes to money. Before, when I talked about investment, he felt worried, but now I could feel aggressiveness in his actions. I realize that gambling could help a person gain courage and strength.

Taking risks in real life is a broad statement. Those who loves to take risk in life are the kind of people who are adventurous and are not afraid of stepping out of their comfort zone while trying out new things that are unusual to them. I think taking risk in gambling is different. The only thing that you will lose in gambling are just money. You can earn it back though.
In real life, there are a lot of things that only come once.
I knew a lot of people who are risks takers but not gamblers.

A lot of people are risk takers when it comes to gambling, especially when they have making money on the forefront; they can take unthinkable risks, but most times they later land up losing money because of that decision. But when it comes to real-life situations, they are far behind every other person in terms of risk; they mind what they do in anything that involves taking risks that they are not sure of. You will never see them take part in it. I have seen people like that; they behave differently when it comes to money and other things in life.

Everyone know that gambling is all about risks, people who gamble know that two things is involved in gambling, neither you gamble to make profits or you gamble to lose, and that’s why we don't need to feel that gambling information is good something to us, sometimes the disadvantages of gambling is higher than the advantages of gambling, from my experience in gambling even though you understand the game you are about to play, gambling is risk, it doesn't have assurance that you are going to win gambling,  hundreds percent, so that's what we need to understand in gambling and it's functions.

I really don't see it like that.The thing there is that people would always go the extra mile to make more and more money without being instructed on what and what not to do.
Life ain't gambling and on a reality check there are procedures in it that are still unknown and difficult to relate with.

Life is not a gamble meaning we should make the right decisions in life where our strategy planning and awareness are important. Life is always risky everything is never a straight path and sometimes we face decisions that may seem like a gamble or uncertainty. However checking the facts gathering the right information and planning for the future can all help make our life path stronger and safer.

Cmon, gambling will be much better if you would make right decisions too. Every business is the risk, every businessman risks every day. In such way he improves his life. If you have friend with business ask him how often he risks and recommend to decrease the quantity of risk decisions.
The question was if risk taking is connected in real life and gambling. And i can answer for myself - yes. But in another way. I think that i have too much risk in my life, so i don`t interested in risk in gambling.
