What did you learn as a gambler?

[Leo]

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

[hahay]

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.

[Rosilito]

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.

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 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.

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".

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.

What did you learn as a gambler?

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.

[sweetbet]

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.
