What did you learn as a gambler?

[acroman08]

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?

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.

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.

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.

[Pmalek]

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.

[dimonstration]

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)
--most of all we warned about addiction and we educate it well.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

[julius caesar]

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.

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.

[bitcoin31]

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.

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

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.

[panjul07]

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.

[Shinpako09]

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.
