Are risk takers in gambling better risk takers in life?

[Stepstowealth]

Do you think that gamblers who take risk a lot in gambling are able to take the same kind of risk in real life because I've been thinking lately what the similarity will be between taking a risk in gambling and taking a risk every life and if a gambler would be in a position to be a better risk taker than a regular individual who does not gamble? Does gambling develops one ability to take risk?

I think naturally yes that essemtially people who gamble on things like slots, cards, sports etc are inherently more open to taking risks in life.  You need a certain stomach to handle those times it doesnt work and losing at gambling helps build that up so you are more willing to take that risk.

Just because people are gambling their funds, they’re instantly considered risk takers? Know that some people only resort into gambling just to find leisure and entertainment, so I don’t see risk taking there, except for those who are willing to gamble all their hard-earned money for the hope of making it big with gambling.

While there are risk takers in real life, but they don’t gamble at all. So for some reasons, those who take risk in gambling may not also be risk takers in real life.

Not necessarily. While gambling involves financial risk, real-life risk-taking is much broader, maybe even far broader. Yes, gamblers take risks, but it’s mainly driven by the hope of making a profit or simply for entertainment. 

Also, why associate gambling with general risk-taking when most so-called “risk-takers” in gambling tend to be driven by greed and are more prone to addiction?

It depends on their "risk limits" since anyone who gambles is essentially a "risk-taker". Not all of the gamblers are playing with the same intence or amount or frequency, even if they all want to win. However, it's a different risk if you bet $100 in a dice roll instead of $1. Some people can take it, others can't even if they have the budget to do it.

I think they do, and not just as a gambler though, I think if life, in order to succeed regardless if you are a risk taking or gambling or not into gambling, you really have to take a big risk so that you will succeed in life.

We have seen a lot of individuals, visionaries like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs (RIP), which I do not see as gambler. But they risk everything in their life to come up with their inventions and now they are one of the richest person in the world.

Everyone should take risk as it is essential for our growth.

For me, it's a no. This kind of question for me really depends on the person, we all have different perspectives on life and gambling.
Which for me, I always separate gambling or any money related to my other part of my life, because I know how risky gambling is.

They have the edge but not every gambler who takes risks are also good in real life risk taking. Because the non gamblers might also be taking risks and the gamblers have also the same edge but, we will never know on how both ends meet when it's with the risk that they'd take.

Does gambling develops one ability to take risk?

I believe yes. But it doesn't mean that both worlds can make someone a guarantee to become a great risk taker.

There is an advantage because of how gambler's are but it might be a different story when the others take risks that's related to their life decisions.

I will go with “no” - the fact that you gamble or take risks in gambling doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll also be able to risk some other things - when it comes to gambling there is a lot of things that comes to play than when you’re talking about other aspect of your life.

There are gamblers who despite the fact that they risk insanely large amount of money are still very scared to take some certain risk in their life - personally as a gambler I still see so many things that are way beyond my risk tolerance but to some it’s just normal for them but the same cannot be said for me.

Not necessarily? You can calculate risks in real life WAAAAY more compared to risks in gambling, or at least in the games themselves. Heck if they knew how to calculate risks then they wouldn't really bother with gambling. Maybe sports betting since those also include analyzing a lot of data, just like risking some stuff in irl activities.

Now there may be some superstitious stuff like smelling danger or something but honestly that falls into the level of something like luck, which is just unexplainable, so it doesn't really need a discussion imo. And I don't think you can develop that. I mean if you could casinos would be out of business lol.

[Tungbulu]

Well, the thing there is that, for some it actually does make them realize just how much of a risk taker they actually are and then when faced situations in the real world that requires them to take some huge risks or just chicken out, they’d be like, “fuck it” if I perish, I perish, and then you see them taking the same risks in real life, which I believe pays off more than those taken in gambling.

There are also those who only take risks in gambling. It’s way more easier to be pushed by one’s greed into taking some really crazy risks in gambling and when they actually get the chance in real life to actually take some real life risks, they become scared and chicken out.

Not all, totally different environment and scenario so it will be different results. Besides, not all gamblers are taking big risk when betting, some of them might have been playing to have some fun or just to pass time. Although there are big bettors, but I still think that it's a calculated risk. Meaning even if they lost that huge money, they still have a fall back, another plan in order to survived.

Maybe those who want to YOLO in gambling, but then IRL, there decision are totally different. So for me, there is no similarity, gamblers will only go that far in their activity, but not the same when face with a hard decision in life.

That's an interesting but complex question, and it doesn't have a black-and-white answer. But, certainly, there is a correlation between gambling & taking a risk in real life. Check out this source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886910002795 

Excerpt: "Personality traits and attitudes toward risk were correlated with both problem gambling and general gambling involvement." ​

No! I don't think this is true... I don't believe that players who take more risks in games are more likely to take other risks in real life... firstly because many of the things we do online we can't do in real life, often due to a lack of confidence or courage... it's like that person who feels very powerful when they're in traffic in their car but is terrified of facing people when they're standing on the street.

When it comes to gambling, players who take risks often do so based on a combination of factors, including emotion, intuition and probability analysis, and these factors are not directly applicable to real life, where the consequences of risks are much more significant and can affect not only the individual themselves, but also the people around them. ... it's impossible for people not to know the difference, because decisions need to be made with more care and consideration in real life.

In any case, we must remember that gambling is a specific activity with its own rules and consequences, and that the skills developed in the game need to be adapted and applied differently in real life.

There are gamblers who gamble because of stress and want to get money quickly, it seems that he is a person who dares to take risks but actually because he does not understand about gambling or is tempted to see someone who has succeeded in getting big profits, so a gambler is not always someone who dares to take risks and people who dare to take risks in real life do not necessarily mean they are gamblers, because daring to take risks can be interpreted differently.

i dont think that risk takers in gambling are risk takers in real life. when we talk about risk in real life, then there are varieties of risk which could be either involving yourself in life threatening situation that may savage you, or it could be investing in some illegal investment that may put you in trouble.
gambling does not develop the ability to take risk as i know, some guys may be risk takers only in gambling but not in all aspect of life.

They don't align same risk bearers. I real-life maybe in the stock or digital markets, investors are only willing to bear the risk of Investing their funds where is feasible to bear profits either by source of investment strategies or market volatility that basically demands a strick act of the Investors to be potential of making profits during and economy balance such as the bitcoin market. The risks involved there is just about your patient and endurance to hold on indefinitely maybe in a long run.
It could be uncertainty to hit the income flowing season but it's assured. So it's easier to store your values potentially to make profits in a matter of time.
Strict Investors may not have the desire to gamble because they believe the funds to take the risks on gambling could be an added value to their investment rather than trial to win with most chances to loose.
Gamblers on quick chase profits wouldn't as well have the patient to hold on for such a long demand of indefinite time for profits to come in a long run.
This is natural sn habit of addiction, they always chase the comfort of now without having plans for the future.
So they literally don't think the same although there're terminologies from gambling that can be applied and make good investment decision which could be courage of risk bearing and technical analysis.

It depends. There is a difference between a risk taker and just a straight up reckless person. If a gambler knows how to gamble responsibly while sometimes being able to take risks that give off some positive returns then I do believe that this could be applied to in real life. But gamblers who are irresponsible in gambling are most likely to be irresponsible in real life.

Does gambling develops one ability to take risk?

Could be. If a gambler sees the results he is getting from taking risks in gambling, he might apply this in real life and use it as a justification of the risks he will take in real life.

[Kelward]

It depends on the type of gambler, a gambler that gambles irresponsibly might not take calculated and reasonable risks in other aspects of life. They can take blind risk which can cause then harm like relaxing beside a sleeping crocodile. People who gamble responsibly can handle risk situations easily and calmly because they're used to risking their money. Apart from this we should understand that gambling risk is basically relying on luck with our money at stake. Some risks might involve trials and errors to be innovative at something that has not been tried before. Other risks could be trying a new venture that can be very risky so they're quite different from gambling risks.

[jcojci]

The risk in gambling and life is totally different. They can lose money in gambling but losing the money and the problem can be bigger if they lose control. While risk in life can ruin their lives and cause them lose everything. A gambler can not always to be a better risk taker because that depend on how he can be a wise person and how he can solve his matter. That can happen to a regular individual who does not gamble. We don't know how gambling develops ability to take risk because as far as I know, someone who uses gambling too often could be a gambling addiction. When he is addicted to gambling, many problems will come to him and he can confuse how to solve it.
