can gambling give you lessons in life?

[Cazkys]

Some people don't learned from their mistakes, keeping and making up excuses from the reality that they're trapped into gambling. Even what happened to them, still coming back until they achieved what they wanted and probably that time they will stop. Just blinded by the money and being selfish to their self. Not  realizing how's life without gambling?

Yes, gambling can teach you not to succumb to emotions and not spend all your money on entertainment so as not to be upset.

You are right, also gambling can teach someone gamblers to not be greedy, because greed is the worst problem when we talk about gambling. So with these lessons you can build your experience and to control yourself even in the worst situtations of gambling.

[Victorycoin]

Don't try to be greedy is the main lesson that I can get from gambling actions. Greedy at gambling and at any other type of activities will lead us to get a bad situation at the end.

The lesson of life to learn from gambling is that, life is a game of chance and the swiftest seldom wins the race, because every hand is a winner and every hand is a loser as best summarized by Kenny Rogers Grammy Award nominee for Record of the Year 1978 - The Gambler!

Lyrics
On a warm summer's eve
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us,
And he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life
Out of readin' people's faces
Knowin' what the cards were
By the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind me sayin'
I can see you're out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey
I'll give you some advice"
So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his faced lost all expression
He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die
in your sleep
And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
But in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
You've got to know when to hold 'em (when to hold 'em)
Know when to fold 'em (when to fold 'em)
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

Yes of course can give you a lot of lessons in life, in terms of financial losses that can teach  you how to value money in a matter of time. Because thar time you are engaged in gambling is you are not thinking to earn money for your family and the only thing you aim is to win and not lossing. If we generally analyze the whole idea here, you didn't expect to loss and yet you really loss because gambling always make's you loss rathen than winning. Having a bigger lossea that cannot be recovered by playing again will certainly give you a nice lessons that will also give you the principle of not joining gambling bets anymore; life will be change as well.

Well to me also gambling gave a lesson, which was never take decisions solely based on what you feel rather make decisions what your mind says and the market believes. I have lost enormous amounts and still I gamble and I feel I am addicted too.

Though I lost a lot but well, since the price of bitcoins has took off I had some saved bitcoins which helped me forget my losses. Trust me guys gambling is no good to life.

[pixie85]

Yes it can. Everything we do in life teaches us something and mistakes teach us harder and better than anything else.
Try losing a lot of money on a single bet and you'll remember it for the rest of your life.
If you're a card player gambling will teach you to stay calm, calculate the odds and manage your money. If you're playing in a real casino you'll have to also get rid of all twitches and facial expressions that could allow others to read you.

[Meraki]

Yes absolutely gambling gives many lessons in life, but i think the main lessons you probably should learn is not be GREEDY although greed is really hard to escape to because we all know that GREED is one of the 7 deadly sins in the world. If you wanna try to gamble your money dont be rash or greedy play it nicely then when you already won try to save or keep your capital and a little bit of profit so that when you still wanna play youre not going to lose any money.

And always remember that there will be always a bad day, when you feel you're losing consecutively then stop, rest, then play another day so that you will not be tempted to loan a money which resulting sometimes in heavy debt.

[CraigWrightBTC]

Yes, gambling had gives me lessons about focus on the aim that play gambling is just for entertainment and fun no more than it,
on gambling i could control my emotion, i take control feel greed and curious, i can be dicipline on the rules when play gambling games. I think gambling are not​ bad.

[goinmerry]

Literally about the usual gambling, yes.

There are gamblers that after losing a big amount but still continue to play gambling, are now being a responsible gambler. In here there is already a lesson. They can't easily left their gambling activity that's why to minimize the risk, they will now play according to their own strategy while doing a responsible gambling like managing properly their bankrolls.

There are also others that after losing a big amount decided not to play gambling anymore since they feel that gambling is not for them. That is a big lesson, stop gambling to see other opportunities to earn money with less risks.

Greed brings out the worst in us and leads us to failure. The problem is I find gambling encourages it rather than teaching us to control it.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

There are a lot of life lessons to be learned from gambling..things like not to be greedy, practice patience and have a better judgement of things can all be learned from there
Gambling will also teach you on how to control emotions and make better decisions.

[Images21]

Lessons learned from gambling? Hell very much yes! I learn to limit my bets even before I started playing and betting. I learn that I have be patient and stay compose.

[megynacuna]

Unfortunately gambling lessons are learned the hard way, everyone can indeed learn a lesson from gambling; it teaches us how to care for even the little amount we have on us. Through gambling a person can learn to be composed no matter the situation(emotional control).

[gandame]

Yes a big lesson in life like do be greedy on money, be contented for what for what you've got.  And most of it stay away from gambling its not good to yourself. Maybe you think that you are lucky person because you won every time you gamble. But i a sure you that no one in this world that gamblers become rich.

I think it can give you valuable lessons, on self control, bankroll management, and how to monitor possible addiction. The only problem in my opinion, is that some of these lessons can come with a big cost, since all of them are probably learned through failure and experience.

[RealPhotoshoper]

It has taught me that greed usually leads to failure and that there are very few shortcuts to success. I think very few gamblers learn this lesson though but if you take the time to think about it you will realize the real path to success is through hard work and a smart mind.

I believe those peoeple have learned from what they have experienced.
But unfortunately mostly ignore everything once the game get started.
Greedy always takeover you , and the lesson in the end feel like useless.

[serjent05]

Every experience gives lesson in life, gambling experience included.  If we observe gambling, we can see how life goes with chances.   Just like in life, no matter how prepared we are if chance is not given to us we will never show them how good we are in certain aspects especially when it comes to applying in jobs.

[audaciousbeing]

I don't believe that gambling is a place to learn because its serious business where people make a run for their money. They GI there with a prepared mind to either win or lose without any reservation so there is noting to learn from in the sense that whatever the outcome will be, its already known from the beginning. When its time to learn, we learn from other place but not on gambling. That's my humble contribution.

[Junko]

I've learned countless things from gambling/playing poker. Just a few things off the top of my head:

How to think, quickly, analytically under pressure.
How to control my emotions and keep my cool when things are going good or bad.
How to set goals and work towards achieving those goals.
How to better manage a buget and my money.
Never to lend or borrow money when it comes to gambling.
Improved my maths skills.
Improved my discipline and self-control.


I'm sure there are more lessons I've learned that I can't think of at the moment.

Mature people can take the lessons from gamble different from shit people who only care about gaining profit and profit, we face many different things and of course there's some life lessons that we can learn such like managing your money and avoiding greediness. We learn to use money that we can afford many people ignore that one due their ignorance and make them became angry when losing. Playing gamble with long term time will affect to your capital which is it will dried out due your loss in a row. Relying in gamble to get some income is a bad idea. 

[uneng]

Yes, gambling can give us a very important lesson, to don't be a greedy person, if you are, you will learn by the hardest way to don't be and if you continue being a greedy one, you will finish your life without one cent.
Many persons didn't learn this lesson and passed from the fortune to the misery.
