can gambling give you lessons in life?

[Ziskinberg]

I think the only that anyone will learn from gambling is greed will only destroy us. It's what drives all people to try gambling and it's not just your money that is in the risk but it could be also your whole life once you are trapped in your gambling addiction.

You have to discipline yourself as a person to gamble safely and for entertainment. You have to have many other variables in your life stable.  Most people who end up with gambling problems dont have the control over their life in other areas and try to find the quick easy answer with thrill of gambling. Good things come to those who are smart about their life approach.

You are right, gambling is fun but it's a risky game therefore we need to be smart in order to discipline ourselves.
Never think of the big reward because you need to take the big risks in order to have the chance to win, but as you keep your dreams chasing on that big reward you might spend beyond your limit and you won't notice you are not making a progress but only you are losing money consistently.

[Carreuh]

Gambling for me is an activity that's difficult to control, in the sense difficult to determine end point of each game especially when there are friends always ignited to continue game. Gambling always invites emotion to climb higher.

Surely it can. It teaches us that there will be always a winner and a loser in a game. Secondly, it teaches that we have to accept every lose with a big heart in every game.

That is big lessons since we all need to have a big acceptance when it comes of losing in a game in gambling. We need to accept every loses we take for us to move forward and forget all our loses in the future.

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.

Your short or long-term experience in gambling can give you lessons in life especially when you are at your downfall and you start to realize the consequences of your actions. Gambling can never be profitable in the long-run and will only cause serious damage to the people around you. It also may destroy one's life if one gets addicted to it, and starts prioritizing gambling instead of their own career or family. I have seen countless friends who loss their way due to their addiction (not limited to gambling) and I've also seen people who get-up on their feet and face their problems directly instead of evading it.

Acceptance would really matter specially when we do lose on playing gambling.We should really treat those situations as normal knowing that gambling do only have 2 outcomes which is losing and winning.If you do already come to a point on where gambling did mess already into your life for sure you are already aware and you wont really repeat the same mistake again for sure.

[Hobo66]

I would say yes gambling can give you a lesson in life,
When you gamble it is 50/50 you will win, I allot of people end up broke because of spending their last cent on this addiction of gamble.

[serjent05]

Definitely gambling can give us good lesson in life.  we cna just observe gamblers from those who have good faith and those who meet disasters in gambling.  We really do not need to experience things to have lessons.  We just need to process the sample situation to know thing that might happen when we are in such situation.

I never understand why people consider such a trash as fun. There is nothing good and ecstatic in losing money, getting depressed, going bankrupt etc. there are countless cases where people have gone homeless just because of this game and here you guys are treating it as means of fun. It is an easy way of grabbing money of innocent people. Avoid this game as much as you can for a peaceful life.

 Yes, gambling can give us lessons in life specially when you are already addicted to it. I will site an example and it is based on my own experience. I was once became addicted to gambling. That was a year ago. I won a large amount of money when I first gamble my money, as gambling first showed me that I can win instant money, I thought that I will always win so I ended up gambling everyday. Until I did not noticed that I already addicted to it. Gambling everyday just made me loss my money, and so the money I won from the first time got lost. I became eager to win back all of those money so I spent the money I saved from my work in just gambling it and instead of winning it back, I also lost it. It became hard for me to even go to work because I did not have allowance for work because I also spent it on gambling. I was really depressed during that time, problems also came consecutively, and I did not know how to solve it without any money.

Someone I love told me to stop it because it will just get me more problematic, that's why I stopped myself from gambling anymore. Months later, my life went back to normal. I was given a chance to save my money again. Up until now, I became addicted in earning money but not from gambling but in a proper way. And that is why I am here in bitcointalk forum now, because I am earning here.

Gambling can give you one big life lesson:
Losing money is lot easier than earning money, if you understand what I want to say

Gambling can give us a lesson in life. Because life is as unpredictable as gambling. Therefore, we must be ready for anything.  We can lose everything we have, but we can also win the jackpot at any time.

Once you entered the world of gambling there's no way out for you, it's rather to win or to lose. When you lose everything that's the time you will understand and realize the meaning of something. I already experiences bad tragic n my life because of gambling , that's why if you some time to escape go for it while you can. Gambling is easy money, easy to win or easy to lose.

Depends on a person. Well gambling can really gives us a lesson in life. It teaches how we value money normally when we already losses a lot. It somehow helps us to practice our decision making in which we could use in our daily living. Others might said that when you enter this industry you can't get out but I beg disagree, Why? It's a matter of self descipline, we can either choose to stay or to leave. Only ourself hinders us to do avoid or leave such a thing. Ourself is our enemy in this type of situations, but we must set our mind not to make or commit the same mistake twice.

[lili song]

Yes of course give you lessons for your life. When you lose, you can control your emotion not to play again to much for lose your money again.
And you can set for budget to play, is same like you set budget or target to your real life for your goal to achieve it.
Life is unpredictable, pretty much like casino games !

[Gotottack]

Surely, it does give gamblers lessons. Well, not only gamblers learn from it but also ordinary people who come across a story of success and failure brought about by gambling.

The following are considerations to take on:

1. What to do with the winnings to ensure it will not be foregone?
2. What to do when you lost in order to not incur debts or bad debts?

All these are common albeit written to give due emphasis.

I agree with you, For sure that gambling give some lessons to gamblers. They maybe learn how to control yourself, I mean emotions and stop when you should stop, and gamble when you can gamble, Also to be protected from lossing a huge money, you should make some limits,rules to follow and the goal.
Personally, I learn many lessons from gambling, Like patience and the self control.

Yes that is right that we can get good lesson from gambling. I think in very beginning when a person is very new in gambling he make different mistakes and from these mistakes he usually learn lesson and after that he try his best not to repeat such mistakes which can cause big losts to hi.

Well i know a lot of people who have been changed persons because of gambling. There are also who are that stubborn and would probably learn when it's already too late. You're fortunate if you have the right mind to learn immediately because you're not going to lose as much compared to those that doesn't want to change themselves

[MrKapoor]

of course yes the main lesson i learnt from gambling ( never gambling ) lost 20k in 1 month . never do gambling again in my life.

That's true, which is not good. Even a cent remaining will use in gambling addiction. You can just save it instead of spending it which we don't know if we can really win in that game or not. Gambling is no assurance so we need to accept that gambling will takes our money from us if we are not lucky enough to win.
