What if Gamblers had to go to Gambling school to learn?

...

It would not change anything when comes to the distribution of money actually, the house will inevitably earn the same in the end. It could change some of the perceptions and wrong ideas people have about gambling and the actual chances the average person has to become a millionaire from it.
One does not need to go too far to learn how gambling actually works, by the way, in the most of the universities and science courses there is a segment completely dedicated for people who wish to learn statistics. I have myself seen some statistics classes and the basic concepts are quite straight forward.

If the nations of the world where gambling is very common started to give intensive statistics courses to anyone over eighteen years old, then I believe there would be less gamblers and more people willing to earn their money by working or investing.

What if there was a legit gambling school that teach responsible gambling for maximum benefit in nearly every country that have gambling citizens, will it help to make gambling a profitable career or investment for potential new and old time gamblers?

It is going to be more of a business than learning. The casinos can have this initiative or did they already? I have to stop from here because it won't make sense as you've said that it can be a profitable career and someone has to learn from it or even an investment.

Because it's not ideal for everyone, there will be interested people on it but I don't think it's going to work.

Also, will the study or reading of books on gambling theories and strategies help to brush up one's understanding of how games are won, more than videos and podcasts would?

That type of choice varies.

Someone likes to read text books than listening and watching videos. The result can be said that the other is effective and the other one isn't based on someone's liking.

I think a lot of people have quite a negative experience about their school time, but remember mostly friends and how they hang out. Going to gambling school to hang out, to have fun with friends, and possibly pay money for that? I dont know, I know a better way to spend money and time. Cant imagine what teacher is going to teach. Imo he is going to be sort a guy who gives hints and helps to predict outcome. But in a topic «do we believe in predictions», many have said that they usually dont trust other people opinion.

To be honest with you, I find it extremely humourous that someone somewhere is even thinking that people in their right minds will want to go spend time, energy and their resources just to learn about gambling when there are other meaningful things to study about in today's world. The uncertainty about what could be taught and how it'll be taught by teachers is another thing that makes it almost impossible for us to have such institutions.  Though some people with their weird thoughts might go on to have something like that in the future.

Very strange to hear that one will want to go and learn gambling and that shows some sign of unseriousness because nobody will want to waste their time on something that will not be fruitful. However, this is gambling and some people who don't have a good reason faculty who are too greedy might go to such school.

If such school exist, it will be a school of irresponsible gamblers because I don't know what they will be learning about. Some people can be so foolish to make such move because they don't want to work hard and earn a living.

Reading books will not help you, unless you want to become a pro poker player or something like that. There are games that depend on both skill and luck and games that require only one of these. Chess depends on strategy and you have to learn it to play well. Poker is about both, knowledge and skill, while some games like dice or slots are just luck and nothing more. How are you going to teach someone a game that depends on luck? Also, the government would never finance this. The school should have to be private.

[Juse14]

True, researching the theory and strategy would give one a better edge at the game table but let's not forget poker is a gambling game hence luck is the ultimate decider. Instead of wasting time studying gambling, we could be studying other subjects that have set benefits or outcomes.

Moreover, dedicating time and effort to learning other disciplines, technology, business, or creative fields, may later reveal more concrete and profitable prospects. Such educations do not only fill one with widely applicable knowledge but also double one's potential of growth and success in the long term. Gambling can be fine as long as it is done for recreational purposes only; relying on it as your primary source of income is imprudent. On the other hand, by widening your expertise in different spheres you stand a bigger chance (though not from a single gamble) to gain financial stability and actual personal success.

Most casino games are based on luck such as dice, hi-lo, roulette, crash and more. Only few like poker are based on skill and luck. If you will put a school or course related to gambling, it will be more on responsible gambling or how not to screw your funds in front of your games. Because let us accept the fact that even if there are known strategies related to gambling, it still boils down to luck. So how are you gonna teach a game based mostly in luck?

Gambling school?
I see no urgency in setting up a gambling school to learn how we operate in gambling.

What kind of strategies need to be taught to gamblers if at the end of the day it is only based on luck and unluck in gambling, this is not something concrete to learn to maximize profits in gambling, if it were me I would rather set up a marketing school, because I think it is much better to be educated to increase profits in business than you are in gambling.

(if the orientation of gambling that you do is to get money, it's better to build a business)

[BITCOIN4X]

Study business knowledge instead of studying specifically at school so that you become a responsible gambler. You will never again get pleasure from gambling when your mindset about gambling has become the main source of income, so gamble rationally and just enjoy the game even if you win or lose. You just have to be aware of the impact of gambling when you can't control yourself, you don't need to go to a special school because basically you can learn it yourself.

If you have a capital budget, then start taking advantage of this industry to increase your financial strength. You can become the owner of a casino and launch one of your own, it is better than you are interested in always winning bets. If you are a gambler, then gamble responsibly with a rational mindset.

Still wouldn't buy or subscribe to it. The fact alone that you're setting up a gambling school, even if it was just a premise, is more than enough reason for me to think that you're trying to profit off of those who have been addicted to gambling and are looking for either an intervention, or a surefire way for them to recuperate their losses, which isn't going to happen. This is blatant fraud if I do say so myself, cause you're selling something that aims to offer something that only professionals could provide, for possibly less price, with no safenet for those who wouldn't be able to win even after learning all the tricks and shit you're talking about.

I'd rather just put them up for a rehab than make them believe to something like this, this is taking advantage of those who are already down on their luck my friend.

[Odusko]

Sometimes we need to stop dreaming shit so that our brains can function much better, and needless of us to have this discussion because gambling is not a professional activities so then why should anyone goes to school for gambling and for sure one can build experience from past events and be able to scale through gambling for some of us, we know how uncertain gambling can be and at that we should put in some clear stance against having such an academy that encourage gambling, the government won't even allow that to happens because to the repacuasion in the future.

I don't think this would be a sustainable venture because gambling is designed the way it is for continuity just like the traditional lotteries,  they are highly based on luck and everyone must not win at the same time. Building schools where they teach responsible gambling will do little to the gamblers because greed is inbuilt in us, the only cure for it being experience. If you have experienced what greed can cost you, you will try your best to avoid being greedy; it is as simple as that. It is not everything you will have to go to school to learn.

[GreatArkansas]

No, I don't think it will help.

Casinos and slots are meant to make us lose and there's no such thing as strategy in it. The algorithm that they created is just to play with our minds so that we can think we are winning while the fact remains that we will lose in the long run.
When it comes to sports betting, I think that's where some gamblers could be profitable. Well, as long as you know your game it can also increase the chance of winning although not 100 percent.
I will not forget what one game developer said when it comes to gambling and he said something like this: "The only way to win is to hit a high multiplier, walk out, and never go back." I believe that because once you go back, there's a chance all your profits will be taken away from you which is a fact base on my own experience.

Responsible gambling is also on us. Even if someone tells us what to do, there's a chance we won't even listen to it.

That makes sense, I am also curious about who will run these gambling schools and casino platforms. Lol.
Gambling-related topics must be learned in the normal school we have, that will discuss the disadvantages of it, and will not tolerate people or kids gambling, they must disappoint them as soon as at their early age.

There are always pros and cons of gambling, so my answer is still NO, it will not help.

There are some gamblers out there offering courses, but I do not think there will ever be a school like what you suggest, and the reason for this is obvious, the few people that could actually teach how to do that are not willing to do it.

And with good reason, as if I had a way to profit from gambling, you can be sure I will never share it, since who in his right mind will share the information necessary to achieve this, when most likely they had to discover how to do this on their own?

[Assface16678]

Well, for me I think it is a waste of time to go into a school or have a course just to become responsible in gambling, I think only insane people will do that because being responsible in gambling should always be from the gambler itself, or being responsible and being able to control yourself from gambling is based on yourself and you can self taught of that, why waste time to attend into a school right? maybe seminars yes but actually wasting time to a school to teach you how to become responsible in gambling is insane, you could use that time to do other things that might give you income or learn something new. Why not do that and improve yourself, if you know you are not that lucky in gambling then why waste money and time right? if you have time to waste money then you should also have time to improve yourself and learn new things.

[mamesso]

No, gambling has a greater potential for loss than victory, the theory obtained in gambling school is only limited to increasing knowledge about gambling, but to become a responsible gambler must be based on yourself. There are various types of gambling available including betting on football, as long as you understand the difference in quality between the two teams you have a better chance.
Gambling never promises victory, even though you have absorbed so much knowledge in gambling school, it cannot prevent you from losing. If you are lucky, you will win, and vice versa.

I agree with you. Losing is almost certain with gambling but you can win some of the time. You always strive to win but that equates to wasting your time in uncertainty. If you bet on a team, you cannot say for sure which team will win, even though the past history of that team is very good, that team can lose and you can lose at the same time. So no matter how experienced you are in every case you have to take risks and chances of losing are high.

However, I feel that it is good in some ways. It could be said that the idea of a gambling school devoted only to such concerned practices of responsible gambling, since it would have been much better if the school had provided education on how to control gambling behaviors that lead to addiction. On the other hand, in relation to educational aspects, it could offer advanced training on strategies, mathematical models, and the psychological aspects of various games. This would also secure much greater compliance with the legal and ethical requirements for a more responsible gambling environment. However, with education, the risks still occur in gambling; improving your skills doesn't mean you have guaranteed success and a reliable income in some of the games relying only on luck. Though the idea of gambling might still be approached more knowledgeably with risk management nowadays, it is still more of an entertainment than a reliable career. A combination of books with other media, however (like videos and podcasts) gives balance to learning in the field by catering to different learning styles with practical insight and theoretical knowledge.

It can help to become better or to learn from the mistakes of others, but, I agree with your main point. There is never a 100% that someone's mistakes or knowledge will gain you a win after a win.

Wont it be better than to have an independent person who will monitor gamblers activity and ask him to stop or take a pause if gambler gets to much involved in gambling? On the other hand, society seems not to like gambling and wants to fight it with any possible way to decrease addiction. And now people offer to create gambling schools which means introducing gambling to more and more people.
