What did you learn as a gambler?

[avatar_kiyoshi]

I never felt a positive learning from gambling, maybe i never be an addicted gambler. But from my point of view self-control is the most learning can be taken.
Just one thing from gambling that I can take good lessons, gambling can be my stress relief, because gambling can be a fun activity.

Here's, something I wanted to share that might help some people.  Whenever you want to gamble always remember that you're going to lose most of the time. Before putting in money on your account you need to know that its unlikely to get it back you'll rarely break even if you try your best on making a recovery its always a losing battle. Once you've accepted what's going to happen you'll be less affected and quickly move on.

You don't have to be addicted to learn from gambling, looking back at your past losses and style of betting is one way to learn something out if it.

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.

I agree. Gambling will be just the source of depression in my opinion, the source of every negative vibes you could get while playing then you lost. What I've realized about gambling is that, trying it out to figure out what future you have in gambling is a waste of money and time already, it is too risky, and in the long run, even if you are winning, you won't be happy, totally, because what if someone of your love ones ask you where do you get your money, and of course you'll invent an alibi and so on, you will never be proud of it since in the first place, you are hiding it from everybody.

I could say that it never results in all into negative ones, of course, there is a positive effect on us. What I could find in gambling is that it teaches how to control myself in terms of money spending and to be strategical enough in times of difficulties. But the worse thing that I couldn't imagine and even could easily forget is when I lose half of my 1month salary in just an hour.

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've been gambling for a few years now, and oh I've learned a lot of things! That include how to make a good prediction based on past performance, how to control and separate emotion from gambling, how to recover from losses, knowing when enough is enough, not being greedy, risk management, etc. I also learn the math behind gambling: what is house edge, how do sportsbook set odds, etc. Most importantly I realized gambling is very addictive and I realized that being the house in a very unique gambling game can be very profitable. LOL.

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.

Precisely, we should not definitely rely on gambling when it comes on money because first of all it is based on luck and even if have enough luck there is still a low chance for you to hit the jackpot. I realize that I should only use this simply for entertainment. Moreover, we should also learn how to manage our emotions in order to prevent us to fall out into addiction which could destroy our life and the persons who surround us. Just don't earn profit in this kind of way but rather use it for fun, if you want profit then you could try another way which is more reliable.

^ I can't count using my fingers because there are too many of them and I educated my self very well and luckily I am not on a gambling addict now. Self-control is one of the first I have learned as a gambler, I can adjust my emotion and greediness and should have not to chase losses. This is what I have realized now, gambling is a form of entertainment to have a fun activity that something you need when you are alone or probably in a boringness. Nevertheless, I can't deny the fact that when I am in gambling I still hoping to always win.

[spadormie]

I learned that you shouldn't been driven by your emotions. It's probably one of the reasons why people are getting a lot of loss instead of getting wins. Just like trading, the will of getting back with your loss, and unfortunately you'll continue your lossing streak , it's the same as gambling. Another thing is formulating a good strategy. It's not just luck in gambling. It's a combination of both.

[audaciousbeing]

In some of my activities in gambling, I have learned that you cannot always win which is what I think everyone should apply in his daily life. Everyday in our activities whether schooling or working, there will be battles to be fought whether with colleagues, family or friends. In all of these battles, some would be won, others would be lost, to those you won, celebrate and move on, while the losses, count it, learn your lessons and also move on. There are still more to be fought to lose or won.

[Debonaire217]

If this is subjected then let me be straight to the point. What I learned in gambling is nothing. But what I've experience in gambling is many. Why I haven't learned? Because in a game where the only chances is 50/50, you couldn't really see the winning bets and usually end up in taking the same risk over and over again so its pure luck. But in experience, I can say, each plays provides me with happiness and joy especially when winning.

I can't think of anything besides of having someone by yourside who will be taking away your time or at least, a catalyst that will motivate you to stay away or who will mold you to gamble practically and not too often than you used to. Not a lover, but might be a companion or some sort of a person that will serves as a period for your some not-so-influential story.

I realized that it is impossible to profit from a casino, it is simply impossible, or if you first went and got it, your psyche tells you to go again and so it goes on to lose money.
No one wanted or wanted to create a place where everyone would be happy and receive money for free.
Gambling has been sent from hell itself, to come to the world with us and for non-controlling and seductive people to lose material things.
As a man who genuinely thinks casino is a place to enjoy, I also say that gambling is very, very bad and not for everyone.

[Saisher]

I learn and realized that if you make a false move in gambling, you can end up losing everything, and I also learn that control is the most important characteristics of a gambler, without it you could end up in quicksand whenever you moves you goes down.

[Aikidoka]

As a gambler, I learned a lot of stuffs, the main thing that I learned was how to control myself under different conditions or even pressure (self-control), by this I can't be addicted and I can just know my limits. I learned also the patience, while you're gambling you need to be patient and smart and of course you need to be so lucky to even get a profit from gambling. I'm happy that I'm gambler thought, I didn't make a lot of mistakes like being addictive and loosing a lot of money.

[l3pox]

I learned two really big things:

1) losing money will teach you more than earning it.
(and yes, money can teach a lot about yourself and the way you behave).

2) pay yourelf first and take breaks, never gamble until the end and give all the earning back.

[gabbie2010]

As a gambler I never allow emotion to overwhelmed after a consecutive losing streaks because I had made up my mind to always bet with the amount of money I can afford to lose, more so I am not too eager to place a bet of which I am doubting it outcome I would rather leave it and wait for another chance or opportunities after all we have more sure games ahead especially in soccer betting which has been my area of specialization in betting.

I learn the basic fact, that no one can beat the house edge you can beat him sometimes but most of the time the house will always comeback to beat you, now if you put more time and money on the gambling table chances are you will not be putting something in the family's table, so better choose your priority.

Wayback where i do first met this gambling activity. i do really have the thoughts on becoming rich with it because we do know that we can make easy money on a short span of time
with gambling but when i do experience loss which is something big enough to let myself  realize that those impressions and beliefs arent really real to happen.
Yes, we can make money but not to that extent on easily to win from time to time and gamble doesnt work that way.You would only realize when you lose up money.
Important here is that you are aware on its total risk.

[finaleshot2016]

I learned to control and being a mindful gambler.

There's a lot of things we can learn through gambling, not only this, and it depends on our approach to gambling. We can learn such probabilities in this game and might create an idea or strategy for winning a game. It can be a tool for you to make good decisions in life and not to be reckless in situations.

I learn the basic fact, that no one can beat the house edge you can beat him sometimes but most of the time the house will always comeback to beat you, now if you put more time and money on the gambling table chances are you will not be putting something in the family's table, so better choose your priority.

This is true also, the house edge are the one who keeps winning 'til the end.

as one of the gamblers.. I just suggest not to be too confident in gambling, every decision you make must be based on careful consideration, because I've had a few big losses due to overconfidence.  and another, don't gamble when your mood isn't good, because you won't be able to make the best decision if your mood is bad.
