A positive evaluation of gambling.

[Findingnemo]

I think what I have learnt from gambling as well as crypto trading is how to move on from the loss, if we keep regretting about past is not going to change anything so that's what I say about gambling made me better which also helped me personally in lot of financially tight situation to overcome it but never misunderstand that I overcame with gambling wins because I am sort of unlucky so didn't made any considerable amount to be honest, I just let it to drain for fun and nothing more serious.

^ I have related your situation and we are almost the same and I think this was on the OP criteria, it should always positive mentality at all times even if you experience losses you don't need to quit or any regret that you gamble. That is our choice to gamble, so any negative outcome that will come just accept and move forward because regretting has nothing to do. However, thanks to the OP many of us here are enlightened about the fact that we must do, that is why there is no gambling addict on our community because they have already oriented.

It's not really possible to say we don't have any gambling addicts here because no one literally want to express that even still we can hear some of the losing stories from the newbies and who knows it came from one of the veteran but they don't want to express it from theirselves.

Best not to look for positive instead find the negatives so you will not get deep into it the more you seek for goodness of gambling is the more you get deeper in playing in which will makes you become loser.
Gambling is not a place where you can just enjoy and win , we are either to Enjoy or accept being loser.

You may be surprised, but a lot of people do this: they lose and have fun. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with delving into this topic. The fact that entertainment requires money is normal, but for some reason, only in the case of gambling is it called some kind of monstrous problem. While travel enthusiasts, collectors, etc. spend no less money on their hobbies.

Nothing on this world doesnt have negative nor positive impact once you do engage with it and gambling isnt an exemption to that which you should really mind off on how things should be done on a controlled manner.

If you do let yourself get lost in track then you would really be having those kind of common problems with gambling.If you do really mind off
on how things do work then you would really able to save your ass.

Just be mindful on your actions then you would really make yourself able to avoid unfortunate things.

yes, things have multiple sides, and even if sometimes one person can see one or two of the sides it's often hard to see ALL of the possibilities

bringing awareness to daily life and actions will always help

Gambling taught me to be careful with my money and increased my literacy because after losing a couple of times in any game of chance a person begins to study it more deeply. In addition, I believe that by trading cryptocurrencies and gambling a person can increase the level of self-control.

Nothing is needed to be taught about on the first place if you do know the risk on the time you had decided on dealing with gambling because

it would really be just sensible if you do all sorts of things on not to make yourself get fall into the pit of addiction.I cant see anything wrong

if you do just know on how to control out yourself because this is something which does involved with personal choice.

You are right, a lot of negative and positive learning and feel there are many things that need to be adept at controlling thoughts, emotions and must pay attention to situations and conditions of the heart. Because a lot of uncontrolled emotional recognition only causes us to get dizzy when gambling. It is true that many people around me say gamble calmly and enjoy every game.

[Rengga Jati]

The most thing influence from gambling is about the way we control our self and our emotions. gambling will teach us really great about self-emotion control and this is very important. Although it is very difficult to do, to control our emotions while gambling, at least we must learn and we must do this. Or addiction and stress will push us and being dropped.
And about getting profits from gambling itself is varied. We may see ourselves to win a game but lose in another game, It seems that we make it as  for fun only, it doesn't matter. But if we make this as one of the earning money activities, it will be a problem, big problem.

Enjoy every game is a must but on general sense it is really hard to retain that posture or emotion specially when you are losing money thats why we do commonly seeing those impulsive kind of reactions which turns out to make out some bad decisions towards their gambling activity which it did result into a disaster.
Doesnt matter whether its on positive or negative aspect though towards gambling but what people should be thinking that this isnt something
that fits into the category of money making but rather purely on entertainment.

[goinmerry]

I have to agree at most. To those people who become responsible gamblers, in the long run, they are actually learning new skills to help themselves in any challenges they will face. They are not gambling just to have fun but enhancing their skills how to profit from it. I never put that only gamble the amount afford to lose since why I gamble in the first place if prior doing it, I will have a mindset that my funds will just lose.

Maintaining winning stats is the goal, not to lose those amounts that I afford to lose. Even if I afford to lose those, I need to make a win.

PS: The purpose of this discussion is not in any way to encourage you to gamble more, but a pointer to show that amidst the dark clouds, there is still a silver lining.

Sounds more like "amidst the dark cloud" you are looking for an excuse to make yourself feel better for gambling.

-Development of Risk taking ability; to win big in life, you must be willing to try, and gamblers have so developed their risk taking ability.

It's true that to win big in life, we must try. If we fail, we must keep on trying. Now try that while. The exact opposite will happen. If you keep on trying to win big, you will end up with nothing. So yeah... not the best way to compare real life situation with gambling.

-Development of the ability to quickly let go of things and move on; Dwelling on the past and the possibility of "what could have been" is really not healthy and it can weigh you down and distract you from "what can be". Though not so easy, gamblers have developed this ability to easily look ahead from the "near win" of yesterday, to try again today

This means they haven't moved on from "what could have been". They are trying again today because of what they could have won last time, and this is what makes them an addict and they end of losing everything.

-Positive mentality (that is always believing that everyday we gamble, it may just be our lucky day for the big win).

- Consistency/ Not quiting attitude; Always trying regardless of  previous results.

These are exactly what messes them up. Their "positive mentality" is what ruins their life while gambling. They don't think about what's going to happen when they lose, they think about the profit only. If they thought about the losses,  they would stop when thing starts to go too far.

Another quality that I consider very positive in gambling is the search for knowledge when it involves sports betting, mainly.
To be able to bet on a team or player/athlete, it is necessary to do a lot of research beforehand to check the status of the league, team or player to better predict the odds.
So at this point, the bettor ends up getting out of that addictive betting routine and looking for information about something that is actually happening in the real world.

Also as a bettor or gambler you learned a skill of having a proper research about the team or kind of gambling that you are going to try or enter. It's very necessarily that you know how to perform a project research and know how to assess the kind of gambling or betting sports that you are going to try. Talking about the essence why the thread were talking about the positive evaluation of gambling I do believe that the kind of negative effect applies to some or other gambler who have no self-limitation and control over the things that they have done, also in the first place when we hear about gambling we already figure out the negative effects.

However, I believe that most people would struggle to maintain the same level of calm , like my self but I do enjoy my game. I am not sure why, but playing a very intense game in gambling causes me to rattle and at the same time mental block, I am unable to think very clearly. This happens to me most often when I am playing card games, which is why I am not very interested in them. I am more interested in slots or dice games, or anything simple because the happiness that comes from gambling is an unexplainable

It's normal to see most of us struggle in certain situations as we tend to make mistakes and crumble at some point. In my case, it only becomes nerve wracking when stakes are getting high like doubling down in blackjack or one leg away from hitting a long shot parlay.

On the other hand experiencing the same situation allows us to develop some type of composure until we get used to it.

Way to go! It's like Never say Never!

The only way I could stay calm is if I had already secured my capital to which I may have already doubled my money and then I could bet without fear. Somehow because of the casino that does send dividends, I get to bet the tokens I earn without fear but then it's the luck that don't come.

By the way, I remembered the story of one successful bettor - Bob Voulgaris. Gambling had an obvious positive impact on his life: at first, he developed his own system for analyzing odds and finding inaccuracies (he specialized in the NBA) was able to win millions. After the world of big data (and apparently neural networks) came, he could no longer win as before, but he was hired to one of the NBA teams as an analyst.

Literacy? I am not sure about what you are exactly referring to. I am glad that you went for studying after losing in gambling but I just went to arrange new funds for my gambling bankroll. This must be the differences how gambling may produce positive vibes across different gamblers but it is purely depending on individual gambler's perception on how to take care of themselves or like how to create opportunities from available things.

I feel that I gamble with self control but not able to find any positive growth out of my gambling activities. I guess I must take time to analyse myself before continuing gambling because I could not figure out any chance in my view on gambling even after 5 years of vigorous gambling.

Yes, in that case it certainly makes someone more careful and considerate in doing things, but at least there will always be moments where deeper research doesn't need to be done also when we are sure of our personal thoughts. I personally believe that by gambling at least they or gamblers will be able to control their emotions to remain calm under pressure even though indeed, these factors do not always work well for all gamblers. But when a person or gambler can apply things like that in his life too, then of course something positive has been formed in his personality.

Yes, sports betting is very useful for developing a person's analytical skills. 

The player must learn to work with information.  He needs to develop critical thinking skills.  To be successful in sports betting, you need to apply the scientific method.  A person with irrational magical thinking will not be able to secure a gain. 

I'm not talking about poker! 

Poker allows you to pump a huge number of useful skills.  A good poker player is a psychologist and a mathematician at the same time.  That is, both the left and right hemispheres of the brain work harmoniously.  In addition, a good poker player is not only a tactician, but also a strategist. 

Such skills are very useful in everyday life as well.

For experience people who we see gamble and still we see them earning some profits on their plays maybe we can see that they are calm also can able to handle pressure in certain instance but this situation or attitude is not with those people who's just starting up and think about gambling as their possible profit generator where they can earn a decent amount daily, but it turns up that they are chasing for profits and end up losing. Hopefully new people have a calm mindset and always take gambling as for fun only.
