Two Carreer skill benefit of gambling

[Wiwo]

I say the biggest thing that gambling contributed to me as someone who pursues a professional career is the way it helps you manage your stress and pressure levels. Initially I lack self-control and I am often driven by my emotions more than my brain and logic, but as soon as I was able to finally break the code to better manage your gambling habits and discipline yourself to save bankroll and your future, I find that not only did it help me save money and be more disciplined, it also helped me gain proper management of my temper, emotions, and stress level during intense situations. I say this is the biggest contribution that gambling could give you if you're looking for a job, but as with everything, this is not gambling-specific, you can also gain these skills in other fields besides gambling.

Some gamblers try to keep the gambling as their professional business,but it is not the wise decision.Because the gamblers who get continuous loss will get into the emotional imbalance in the game.So he allow his emotion to play every game,this made the continuous loss again.So the gambler get addicted,gambler addicted always loss many times.The gambler get loss because of losing the self control in the gambling addiction.The gambler who get addiction will loss many times because of the loss of self control in the game.Gambling addiction should be overcome by the individual gambler to be successful in gambling.

Anyone who wants to take gambling as a business or a means to make passive income is doing so at their own risk since gambling result is filled with uncertainties and at that, and no one can tell what direction the next game will go so by that, so you may only rely on your luck and take the risk regardless.

For me, I can never take gambling as a means of income or as a profession since I am aware of gambling's resultant effects if it be pursued too closely to meet a wrong target,  since gambling shouldn't be taken for such aims but just for fun and nothing more than that.

I think that socialization or interpersonal skills will depend on the nature of a person. There are two kinds of people, some are introverts and some are extroverts, among extroverts, there is a category of people who don't realize that they are not introverts but are extroverts with just a requirement of some polishing and the environment where they can open up their mind and their communication and connection abilities can grow and they can become more open-minded and easy going with things.

Such people will benefit from gambling or other activities where they might be communicating one-on-one with other participants and players as that will develop confidence in them. However, if a person is an introvert from the beginning, they will barely be able to develop such skills no matter how much they try.

1. Critical thinking: there have never been any job opening that doesn't require candidates to have this skill, because every company needs it to grow. And under critical thinking include skills like problem solving, idealist etc.

You don’t have to be a gambler before you think critically, mate. We have many people who think critically before making decisions and not gamblers; however, do gamblers even think critically before making a decision or placing a bet? If that is what you are thinking, then I can tell you that gamblers nowadays don’t do that based on how the team is performing. Can we call that critical thinking? No, mate, so just know that critical thinking can be developed by ourselves, not even gambling; it’s something that we can develop naturally and utilise in our daily lives.
 

There are other benefits of gambling, and how it has helped your gambling life. It'll be great if you shared some of it with us. Cheers.

You know when they said that anything that has an advantage must have a disadvantage? This sentence is also applicable here. Gambling helped my life before. I can’t deny that because before, I was using my last money in my pocket to place a bet just to make some changes and survive. by then When we don’t have a job, we ask for help from elders to get what we want, and that was when I gambled. But currently, I often gamble, but not like before again, because right now I do it for fun, unlike before, when I gambled when I needed money.

Sometime when we talk about critical thinking in gambling games it may sound like a statement out of proportion,  since most games don't require some form of thinking e.g dice, which is just a game of numbers and luck, so there be no critical thinking when you want to roll the dice unless you want to think of the games since what is required of you is just to roll the dice and wait to see the lucky number.
But one of the essential attributes of gambling is in the area of socialization that you mentioned, gambling helps us to socialize with others easily since we may be on the same table and facing the same game when playing against the house, but this can only happen in physical casinos and not online casinos.

[Kasabus]

There exist over one million and one reason why people hate gambling, but few benefits of gambling can make a player to outsmart his colleagues in the office. Or even in an interview. I was able to check how gambling benefits relate to what HR officers look out for in a candidate before hiring them. There are 2 main benefit of gambling that improves the major skills people look out for in an employee in every offices.

1. Critical thinking: there have never been any job opening that doesn't require candidates to have this skill, because every company needs it to grow. And under critical thinking include skills like problem solving, idealist etc.

2. Socialization: Mainly the corporate world will call it interpersonal relationship. It's a very crucial skill anywhere we find ourselves in the world. And gamblers who participate in board games, easily develop the skill. When in the office, they'll always socialize and make friends with co-workers.

Personally, I've experienced these two, in my daily conversation with people. And realized that my responses are now more effective than it used to be in the past, before I began gambling. I'd always think fast and respond accurately what the next person wants to hear. And most times it makes them laugh. 

There are other benefits of gambling, and how it has helped your gambling life. It'll be great if you shared some of it with us. Cheers.

That could be an advantage if you are a long time gambler but still gamble responsibly. You gained higher experiences on the development of critical thinking skills because you are exposed to different game analysis and creating decisions that support your critical thinking. You are faced with different challenges to win, so most probably you have wider critical thinking analysis than those who are not exposed to gambling.

However, on part of socialization, not really limited to gambling but as long as you are used to mingle yourself with different types of people, you will enhanced more of your socialization skills. Of course, with having positive attitude, rest assured that you can socialize well with others.

In fact, humans are social creatures and easily blend into society, so it's not just gambling that helps us socialize with other people. We can even socialize with people in our neighborhood and engage in interesting discussions with them, and we don't need to gamble. Gambling is an activity that can be a place to chat with fellow gamblers without any age limit. Everything changed when online casinos existed, but we still chat with people via the chatbox provided by the casino. That's where our discussions or chats move, and this can reach players from various countries so that we can find out what was happening in other countries at that time.

the OP just want to create positive impact of gambling here.  but yeah, i do agree, such skills can be acquired in other worthwhile activities. we are just looking for positive side of this industry to people. but ok, we can learn those skills while we are at gambling, then why not use to your own advantage and improve yourself in other aspects of your life?

That would be better to do because at least we can get something better than hoping to win from gambling, which will be difficult for us to get. If we can use it for other aspects and it is useful for us and provides opportunities to improve ourselves in other aspects, it will be more valuable to continue doing it because our potential will also increase. This will have a positive impact on our lives, which will provide something better too. If we work in a company and can increase our potential through this, it will clearly provide a good assessment from the company so that we can be promoted to a higher position. But if we bring that to gambling, we can indeed prevent bad things, but that's all while we can still lose as usual.

It would really be that a costly kind of learning on which this is something that you could gain free on other involvement which it wont really be that needed for it to be on gambling field.
You arent really just paying on something or spending but also you are really that putting up yourself at risks on becoming that addicted and this is something that you must avoid.You cant really make that yourself tending to gamble just because you are really that planning to learn up something with those kind of skills or behavior which is something that you could get on
different conditions or situations in life? It doesnt really make sense honestly.
You can benefit it naturally and there's no need for you to spend up money first just to make your socialism to be better. lol

[justdimin]

Dont know OP has added socialization to his skill list, but gamblers seems to be a very close people. Dont know if gamblers socialize much, as many prefer to be silent and concentrate, and if we talk about online gambling, that few real gamblers really use chat (I mostly see people that try to get tips or obtain rain money in chat). But what really gambling develops are cold headed and being able to work under pressure skills. Because without them, you would either lose or be broke.

Gambling or not, I still think it depends on the person as there are also who are shy and won't socialize to the people around them. For those who are not like that, it can still/also depend on what type of gambler they are or what type of game they are playing. But for sure they will socialize once they are over with their session or once they are on their breaks.

There are casinos who are not social based. Meaning they don't have a chatbox, personal message function, and a forum. I don't care if I'm playing here. I still enjoy the game anyway and there is still social media sites where I can use if I want to socialize, other than hanging out with the people out side.

[wallet4bitcoin]

The 2 reasons as stated by the OP as to why gambling and gamblers are mostly hired are concrete.

The world is driven by people who have certain features; like critical reasoning, but it doesn't just end at critical reasoning, what you have constructed with your reasoning ability has to be birthed through a process and it needs to be communicated to the public, the more reason why socialisation is next on the list.

After thought processes has birthed solutions, these solutions has to be utilised by customers but until you socialise, you can not know how best to engage from a standpoint of marketing than sales.

People tend to pay more attention to the uses of your solutions and how it prioritises them than you trying to attack their finances. The truth is, when you meet their needs, you must be rewarded.

That's why companies hire those kind of applicants more than the regular people

I am not sure of the socialization part. What you say is true. But true for how many. To be able to win in gambling you have to be a critical thinker, yes. Second of all, socialization. How many gamblers have you seen gone outside or to casinos to gamble? I bet there are many but not as many as online gamblers. As you see, nowadays many of the gambling activity are done through online. Online betting platforms, sports bet, casinos etc. How are we able to socialize there? There is no chat option there.

[danherbias07]

The online gambler can only socialize on social media. As online casinos have boards for users to communicate on the website. But, the disadvantage of online gambling is the issue of not physically associating with other gamblers. I was wondering about the relationship between the other ways of getting those two skills outside gambling and possessing it through gambling. The aim is having the skills, not the medium we got it. I'm only concerned about the importance of gambling as one of those multiple medium. For gamblers who don't possess such skill to be aware of the possibility of becoming better conversationalist, by communicating with follow gamblers in the casino or gambling room. As we can easily discuss with other gamblers, regarding their strategies and ideas. The feeling of getting ignored is quite low while trying to talk, for the first time, to a fellow gambler. So, when players begin to envision that they can actually start a conversation. And end up making it fun for the next person. They'll easily use that skill in their offices. And improve their interpersonal relationship skill. We can't neglect the fact that gambling can offer such skills, because there are other ways of possessing the skill. 

I actually do agree with you on this. I've been in the chat room of Stake.com and I can the different people discussing things, saying a simple hello, taking out their anger, sharing their wins, and more. I think the chatbox provided by every gambling site will play a big role in all the gamblers.
Socializing is important as sometimes other gamblers can agree with you and it will somehow ease the pain of losses because it is not just you who have the same experience.
The greetings can also lighten up the day, a simple "Good Morning" can make the whole day of someone who is alone in his room and only have the chatbox as his medium to talk to other people.
There are gambling sites which doesn't provide a chatbox and I think that's somehow lonely. I have been used to watching the right side of my monitor which keeps on moving with people chatting and sharing their day.

[johnsaributua]

If you look at what you do every day, it can be categorized as useful as what you mentioned, socializing and quick response is your habit that reflexively responds to something with critical thinking until it becomes a habit.
You consider it part of the results of your hobby, I think you have been doing it for a long time and use your money to pass the empty moments either in the office or in the house. Likewise with other people's hobbies, for example from guessing or playing with other brain teasers, can get the same response on the five senses. I agree with you that any activity is useful as long as it does not harm others and enjoy it.

But currently, I often gamble, but not like before again, because right now I do it for fun, unlike before, when I gambled when I needed money.

I don't see how gambling helped your life because you didn't mention any wins or anything, and if you did win some money through it when you were in need, I would say you were lucky because the reality of gambling is that you cannot depend on gambling when you are in need of money because you will most likely lose what you already have in gambling and then regret your decision. I know that a person never leaves hope and keeps looking for ways to change their lives when they are needy but gambling isn't that way.

A lot of people turn their faces towards gambling and lotteries when they have a limited amount of money and want to have more but it's not the right thing to do. Losing $100 in pursuit of getting $1,000 is not something wise in my opinion, that's why, one shouldn't gamble whatever little resources they have only to gain more.

Socialization only happens when you play outside, not online, maybe you know some accounts and their names, but I don't think that is socialization per se, although everyone of us here might have different connotations about socialization, at least for me, it should be physical, like talking to them face to face.

But if it just a chat and nothing else, that should not be considered contact and socialization.

For critical thinking, I think you could consider yourself as street wise or something if you are into gambling. I mean you have the advantage for non gamblers specially if you are in the streets. But we all know that there could be levels of critical thinking as well that gambling can't give to us, in my opinion.

If we can get it for free from other places, we shouldn't have to spend any money and instead get the opportunity to improve these abilities so that they can really be useful in our lives. Of course, learning it will give you even better skills, especially since it is free. And rather than getting it through gambling, which can actually give us problems, it's better for us to look for it from other places while we can also learn things that will be useful for improving other skills. Of course, it will help us in developing ourselves well without causing new problems because if we learn from gambling, it might give us more problems before we can even learn the lesson.

This could be a good benefit that we can get from gambling aside from the possible profit, and yes if you do this activity most of the time you become more of what you are doing and might develop the skills that can help you for your everyday activity. Socializing might not applicable most of the time since some gamblers prefer to gamble on their own, and have fun alone especially those introvert gamblers and the online gamblers too.

[madnessteat]

I don't think gambling develops a person's critical thinking and socialization, as those skills are more dependent on a person's level of education and willingness to socialize with people.

I don't think it's a good idea to develop critical thinking in an area that is very much related to luck, as luck introduces a significant margin of error in any analytical process. 
 
I know several gamblers who have been gambling for a long time and all of them have different levels of socialization. Some of them prefer to work in a team, and some of them work online and prefer to minimize socializing with people in real life.

I know people who possess these skills naturally are not gamblers, and not all gamblers possess these skills I also know people who are gamblers but are introverted, so it's not because a person is into gambling that doesn't mean that the person will possess these characteristics.
The only benefit of being a gambler is you have a platform where you can release your anxiety, depression, and loneliness but when it comes to career development you learn it from your upbringing and from schools you attended and not as a gambler, I have a lot of friends who are good in socializing but they are against gambling, so it's an exception rather than facts.
