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

[betswift]

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?

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?

There are numerous resources available online that teach people how to gamble responsibly and increase their odds of winning. You can find gambling content creators on YouTube like Vegas Matt who teach people how to play slots. You definitely do not need a school for this. Gambling is supposed to be fun and not work. I’m one of those people who gamble to relieve stress, gambling would not be fun for me if it seemed like school work.

There is a saying “You can take a horse to the river, but you cannot force it to drink water”. Gamblers who are addicted to gambling or practice “revenge gambling” are not oblivious of the dangers of gambling with more than they cannot afford to lose. They choose to chase their losses and risking their money to get back a win.

I agree here with you! Entertainment should be the goal of a gambler ideally, in my opinion, in order to have a good time and no hard feelings after spending the money you are willing to spend for that exact entertainment. Also, YouTube is really "rich" with these videos, thanks for the heads up! It can be a school of its own

Everyone has a different IQ and perceives things differently. A person makes choices based on their experience and mental capacity. You can not expect an exceptional analysis from a below-average mind. Similarly, when it comes to gambling, every person has his understanding and way of dealing with things. You can not teach gambling strategies and theories at a school, these things come in naturally with experience. Gambling is an addiction and a very bad one. No school can control the greed of a person and in the end, a gambler is bound to lose his money. It is all about luck, if you are lucky you will hit the jackpot or else lose all your money.

Sometimes I feel like "gambling school" and "trading school" is quite similar, in the sense that there's no way you can develop a systematic learning curve and test to guarantee that everyone who passes the lesson will do well. If anything, most trading lesson or influencer in my country is viewed negatively because most people consider their lesson as unreliable/gambling in disguise. Even if gambling is allowed and popular, I don't think taking lessons seriously is a good thing since there's no way you can sue a gambling school because RNG hate you. Scammers or shady people will probably profit more from stuff like this instead the average joe like us.

I don't think it will work as the problem is no matter how good is the idea to learn people responsible gambling when these very people that had done a thorough course and education exactly in such school,when they will be gambling no one can guarantee that the rage of gambling emotions will get the best out of them and get deep into addiction forgetting every thing they have learned in that school.Exactly because emotions cannot be controlled because we are human beings  that school won't work overall and most people would waste time if its free and time and money if that schools is with payment.

Does it really needed? People have their own minds to determine what is right and wrong for them. If they abuse their selves towards excessive things then then they should face the consequences of the action he do. Some may learn how to became a responsible gambler and some goes in bad position where they experience addiction.

Gambling books might be helpful for people especially if they want to learn more about gambling, But also for sure they can learn a lot of things thru their experience and by that gambling school is not really needed since right now we have an access for lots of information by help of internet.

It's amazing that there are so many people who still think that gambling is something that people should do professionally and make a living from. How will you teach people to choose the right number or color on roulette, or to roll the dice in the right way or to pull the handle on the slot machine at the right time?

People should be warned that gambling is only entertainment that should be approached responsibly and that any winnings are only the result of luck, not any strategies and knowledge. Some will say that this may not be the case, but I mean classic gambling here, not sports betting, in which things are a little different.

Let's be realistic in this way now,I just want to lay a point tho.
What if we say here now it's the gambling school and we learn every basics to become a responsible gambler,that includes using the lowest of your income for gambling at most 2% and gambling with the amounts you can afford to lose,also knowing how not to chase over losses and not making gambling as a medium of livelihood.

We are here now, learning all that and alot of us here and making good use of it but the ones that think they want to get it all at once,they want to make quick money and all that,take chances and risk inorder to achieve that which makes them to violate the rules that they ought to be responsible gamblers but they don't adhere and become addicted and be vulnerable to themselves and the society.
Just like people go to school and do malpractice to pass exams more than the ones going through the process,that's what it means here in my illustration.

You learning here is worth going to gambling school to learn, you'll get every detailed information here just digest it an make good use of it.

The highlight of your comment reminds me of the fact that some countries government are bold to require tax from winnings from any kind of gambling activities.
A country like Brazil for instance require almost 15% from gambling wins as taxes, all in a bid to curb gambling activities but I think this is just a way the government earns majorly and it is sort of an encouragement for gamblers to gamble more inorder to win better and pay their tax and be left alone.

Perhaps such a government decides to create a gambling school so as to manage gambling problems and challenges and help the citizens become more responsible gamblers, who knows, it might just be a good idea that's worth trying to solve major gambling problems and addictions.

Well I think that's the main point that needs to be considered first before finally executing the idea, as you said which does not mean it is impossible for those who have completed their gambling education to remain a responsible gambler, I believe that change will always be a possibility that will definitely happen, meaning that falling into impulsive gambling is very possible for them.

And also on the other hand I think it is also unlikely for society to accept the idea, the majority of society has a negative stigma against gambling, meaning that rejection is very possible even though basically the goal is good enough to make gamblers responsible, so I think before executing the various ideas that we have it is very mandatory for us to consider them from various sides about whether it will really help or just waste time.

The question is whether this gains the interest of the public, knowing that we can learn freely through online searches. This is why I don't believe that someone really has the guts to spend money learning gambling by going to school, if it ever exists. And besides, this won't change anything, knowledge is not the only thing needed to win in gambling; luck is also needed.

I may not be sure if this gains support from the government leader, knowing that the impact is not acceptable. This is like pushing people to learn to gamble rather than learning beneficial things.
 

Exactly, we live in a generation where knowledge is free and I don't think people would spend money to learn gambling cause why would someone learn something that doesn't have a guarantee of a stable outcome, this is one of the reasons why I don't even want to pay for any mentorship class to learn forex trade, many forex traders use it as a means to get money from people, why would I pay to learn it when I can just download videos on YouTube.. a lot of people wouldn't even sign up to learn this

I think instead of a school, a better and more efficient education would take the form of a forced tutorial on the first-time play on whichever gambling game the users chooses to play- So the user is forced to learn about the betting mechanisms, gameplay, options and etc. And until you learn the game and everything about it, you are not allowed to gamble with real money.

You think school will teach you discipline, kill greed in you and make you more emotionally stable? Or you think that before attending such school you won every 10th bet, but after you will win every 8th bet? That is not going to happen. You cant learn luck. And basics like "dont spend more than can afford" does not require school education or diploma. I suppose that instead of attending school like that it will be more valuable to psychologist and understand yourself much better.

I agree with you. Gambling cannot be taught in schools and gambling schools will never be possible because it will have many negative effects on children. I might agree with gambling universities even though I don't like the name. But things like emotional management and not spending a lot of money can't be achieved by making a curriculum. Besides, every gambler's problem will be different. That's why as you said we need a psychologist more than a teacher who will teach you gambling. Trust me, theory can't be applied to gambling.

At first sight one would think that if information on statistics applied to casino games were given, what would happen is that people would not bet on them, perhaps only doing so in skill games, or what they would do would be to set up a casino, to be the casino's owners.

But as it happens in other parts of education, there are people who learn very well what is explained to them and then apply it to their lives, and there are many other people who, even if they pass, do not learn it and do not apply it to their lives. Nowadays there is more information than ever about gambling and the number of gamblers is not decreasing, on the contrary, with online gambling it does not stop growing, and with the problems related to gambling the same.

So I think it would be of little use.

That would be an interesting decision! And it wouldn't be too hard to do everything right for one time, or even two And read everything that's needed. After all, a person will do whatever he wants afterward.

School will not teach gambling but school can teach about self control, discipline but not too far from that because that will be our lesson that will not taugh in school. Gamblers can go to gambling school to learn but they must also learn about discipline, self control and many things to prevent them from the bad thing that can occurs in gambling. They must realizes that they are weak from the temptation that can comes in gambling anytime so that is why they must learn seriously to avoids the problem.

If that school have a lesson about upgrading the personality, that will be useful for the gambler to learn about how to take care themselves when playing gambling. They will have a chance to hold themselves from getting deeper in gambling while they can also minimize their losses. That gambling school also need to learn about gambling is not a way to make money or a source of income but only for fills their spare time occasionally by playing gambling.

Before I point out my view on this thread I must say that I like this thread and the reaction it's generating and that being said, one of the problem we're facing generally in the society is that we know thier is a problem but don't want to address it legitimately. Most of the things we've discovered that youths can't do away with, if we're matured enough to critically look at how to moderate how people use it through proper sensitization, it will go a long way to help users engage in those things Ina more responsible way.

I wouldn't say getting a gambling school is the best option but what I will rather say is that putting it as a cause of study in the school curriculum would help out to a very large extent. I did peace and conflict resolution in my first year in school that has nothing to do with my course of study but it's made compulsory because in life, it's something I will have to experience and so it's just best I get introduced to it earlier enough. This is also what should be done in the case of including gambling as a course in the school setting.

absolutely. Some people don't even have details on what's going on in the world of sports and some of the politics that's going on behind the scene that's not visible on the main sporting event but still determines the outcome of most of the events. These are part of the thing  one could also learn. But then, gambling is a probable event, your research can guide you but shouldn't be the sole reason why you gamble above what you can afford to lose.

It is logical that the state wants its share from gambling, and I believe that Brazil is no exception in terms of taxation of winnings in games of chance - in my case, for example, the law says that I am obliged to pay a tax of 10% on every winning over 100 EUR, and even 30 % on every winning over EUR 66 000. There, of course, automatic tax collection is applied, which means that the player receives the amount of winnings less tax.

What countries that have big problems with gambling addicts should do is simply detect such people and offer them professional help - and for starters ban them from gambling. Maybe some will say that it is too radical or that it violates human liberties, but such people should be removed from gambling at all costs.

Are you kidding me? Gambling school? Making gambling a profitable career or investment? Several professional poker players and probably several thousand sports bettors are making somewhat consistent money out of gambling. The rest of the gamblers around the world are simply wasting money and making the casino owners rich. AFAIK, there are e-books, tutorials and videos, that are available online(both for free and for a fee), teaching the gamblers about strategies, tips and tricks. Most of this info is just "snake oil", that was made for naive people. You can't trick a system, that is rigged against you. You can't outsmart the casino/bookie. Just play for fun and don't waste big amounts of money.

Provably they won't teach about how to play gambling since if they do that instead they get positive result since maybe this is their intention, maybe they can open up the interest of people to gamble especially if they didn't teach their potential students right. Provably gambling education will be teach there is all about self control, discipline and how they take risk about possible risk then get away with addiction.

I also don't see any need of gambling school since gambling can easily learn anywhere and there's lots of helpful information where people could locate if they want to know more deeper about gambling. If the gambler is sick already then maybe psychologist is needed. But if there's still a chance that people near him could change his attitude towards how he head with his gambling issues then family and friends support is I think enough for them to recover if we talk about healing from possible addiction.

[Strongkored]

Only a few types of gambling games require skills so it's can be learned, but the rest, which have a larger percentage are based only on luck, without knowledge or skills gamblers can play them directly, so in my opinion, gambling schools or whatever they are called will not help at all except for skill games, and also that is almost impossible to happen because gambling schools will only bring more people to gamble, so what is more important is to teach how to be a responsible gambler, not a gambler who plays to make money or learn about the game.
