Being a gambler could actually help you succeed in running a business…

So I’m curious, do we have any successful business owners here who could say that their experience as a gambler somehow helped them succeed in business?

We must remember that we are gambling with uncertainty in a casino. In contrast, when running a business, you expect a profit based on a feasibility study and your knowledge of the industry, which eliminates the element of uncertainty.
You can be lucky in gambling, but when it comes to running a business, luck is not a significant factor; your knowledge and expertise are.

I was just thinking about this because gambling is all about taking risks, where nothing is guaranteed and we don’t even know if we’ll win. so in a way, gamblers are natural risk-takers, and when someone starts a business, they also need that mindset which is taking calculated risks, making bold decisions, and having the guts to push through uncertainty.

Being a gambler helpmed me to land a job in a casino, where salary is higher compared to the rest of the businesses. There was a vacancy of Product Owner in casino and the salary was big, so I applied for this position because of my past experience and after a few interviews, I successfully landed the job but before interviews, they sent me a link of Forms that I had to fill within few minutes and this forms was full of questions about games like Poker, BlackJack, Roulette and others. My experience in these games helped me to successfully fill the forms very quickly and with a good score, I managed to get the next interviews and then landed a job.

I don't think being a gambler could help someone to succeed as businessman. ..

Not necessarily. It really depends on the type of gambler you are. For example, if you already have a running business, not yet that successful, but you start becoming a compulsive gambler, there’s a big risk that your business will take the hit because where else will you get the money to fund your gambling addiction, right?

But if you’re a responsible gambler and you already have a business, sometimes gambling just serves as your escape from the stress of running that business. In that case, it might even help you relax a bit. But honestly, that’s rare, because being a gambler doesn’t mean you’ll be a good businessman, and being a businessman doesn’t mean you’ll be a gambler. They don’t really go hand in hand.

I have never seen such before, but I think I have Heard story  about a business man who was trying to grow his business through gambling, and guess what happened....the man gambled with all his savings that is supposed to serve as  backup funds or emergency fund should incase there is any emergency, still it wasn't enough and he decided to gamble from his business Money, according to the story teller that the man lose everything to gamble both his savings and as well his reserve funds or backup funds everything was gone. So this is supposed to serve as a Big note of warning to those guys who are trying to make attempt or trying to double thier capital through gamble, so is better we change our plans and look into something that is a little bit guaranteed.

I don't think being a gambler could help someone to succeed as businessman. It's more about the personal characteristics, traits and personality than being a gambler. If you are a responsible, committed and focused individual, you will do well as businessman, while also doing well in gambling, from the responsability point of view.

This is much better, we should avoid connecting ourselves being a gambler and being a businessman. While there are a lot of businessmen that have been involved in gambling and made terrible decisions, it's not the good trait of doing continuously taking risk based from the experience that the gambler has got. And I agree that if we're responsible, we'll be able to grow our business in a way that we've got knowledge of. Not every gambler can do that but it's understandable that some aspects of being a gambler could add to someone's success but not entirely credited to it.

Gambling is very risky and the chance of winning is 50/50 if at all it is even 50/50 because apparently the chance of winning now seems lower, the uncertainty in gambling is too much but people still don't give a fuck because they are so much concern in the profit and despite the uncertainties gambling always have this feeling that they will hit a jackpot one day even though it took them years. Business is somehow different from gambling and the risk involve in gambling is entirely different from that of business and I don't think a gambler can use the energy gambling in business because the energy and vibe are different.

A gambler and a business man thinks differently, a gambler thinks about only making money for present needs but someone that's business oriented thinks about the future because he's more of an investor. Someone that's a gambler might end up ruining a business if he continues to think like a gambler. Running a business takes a lot of self control, sacrifices and discipline, this is something majority of gamblers don't have

You have said that for real and it's the truth. It takes a lot of control for someone who gambles and at the same time manages a business.
These two won't come together but there are a lot of fomer gamblers that were able to transition in becoming a business minded guy.
But they understand that it is going to ruin their business if they will not sacrifice the other activity which is gambling for their business to thrive.
It takes a lot of guts to do that and as you've said, self control. Because gamblers will always be gamblers and even if they're already in the line of business, some fails due to having of no control and they're able to spend their business funds and profits for gambling unknowingly.

I agree, being organized and have that personal skills can give you better chance of success, if you know what you are dealing with you can come up with a strategy and preparation that may help you in achieving your goals, either you are in business or in gambling not just leaning with luck to succeed but a pattern that you can follow to achieved the success that you are aiming,.

Almost every one who is into gambling known already that gambling is all about risk, and if you depends on gambling you will be disappointed because gambling doesn't have a clear trust,  but these new generation in gambling doesn't know that gambling is all about risk and that's why most of the that sell their belongings to gamble always do something of that nature, so I believe that gambling is all about insurance and when you gamble very well you will not be depressed whenever you lose, so that is why we need to plan ourselves before gambling

That's right, having a strategy or a pattern on how you'll attain in becoming a successful businessman, it's all up to you. But let's not just mix gambling and business because they're completely two different things and not all of us can do as much as the other good at both of them. Being good in one is even hard and let alone in the two of it. Just don't screw with your decisions in either of it if you decided to focus to one or both of them. And just a hint, it's much less harder in trying hit success with business.

Therefore, until now you are still working here at the casino you mentioned? It's good that you have a job that you are doing now and in addition to what you are doing here in this forum
of the crypto space that we are part of here.

What you are doing is right, at least you do not have only one resource and it will also be easy for you to accumulate crypto coins
that you think can give a decent profit to you in the near future.

As a regular gambler who knows how to be responsible, people often don’t realize they’re gaining valuable experience from everything they do. I went through the same thing when I first wanted to start a small business, I didn’t overthink it and just went for it. A few times, my business was slow and I kept moving around, but eventually I found the right spot, and now my business is doing a bit better.

This is one of the positive sides of gambling. It’s not always just bad.

Exactly but how can being a gambler help one in succeeding in their business? I was thinking you got tips on what to say to us concerning your thread that will really help a gambler that runs a business as well. Meanwhile it takes discipline to outrun that effect which is to say for one to be a gambler and still runs their business effectively takes discipline.

If I am the one plans to launch my business for sure that gambling will be out of my scope or I don't pay attention on gambling for a while since I know that it will be just a total destruction. Also provably that I will just get a problem with it that's why I really don't see any point of this thread that actually point out that it can help people to became a successful running their business.

The fact that majority of gamblers are reckless on their decision making that will make them a loser instead of gaining something from what they created.

Also I choose to get experience from other sources and will not correlate gambling to a running a business since is totally different.

I think OP is also trying to know if there are people here who has actually become successful in business because of the experience that they acquired from gambling as risk takers which I already said in my first comment that the both experience are not usually the same and the fact that someone is a gambler doesn't mean the person can manage a business effectively. I doubt there's any tip as to how this can be possible, this works differently for everyone.

But I think the connection between risk taking in gambling and success in business is so thin, that its almost unseen. For example its the same as saying that professional boxing helps to succeed in running a business, because people would be afraid not to accept your point of view or proposal. When OP meant being a gambler, he probably has meant that its a person who can control emotions, evaluate risk, respect hard earned money, dont rush at taking decisions. No doubt that these qualities will be useful, but wont play a main role. For me success in business is build on knowing the market, but we cant say that gambler who knows the game will get any success in it.

Probably there are some cause the main similiarities of gambling and business are likely it both incurred risk. Absolutely relatable, for me gambling taught me how to manage risk, stay calm under pressure, and make bold moves without guarantees same skills I now use daily as a business partner of one of my friend. The key difference? In business, you can stack the odds in your favor. Only the lame part on gambling is its too addictive while business isnt focus on that but consistency.

Maybe on risk taking part, but actually on other aspects its far to relate everything what gamblers done then link it to possible success of doing a business.

Since most of businessman have extra ordinary discipline since they need to make their business succeed. While usually gamblers rely only on their luck and for many times they do risky decision then think about that its fine since somehow they can recover their losses on other day. Those negative attitude will collapse a business if they apply those things on their business. That's I think separately and don't get involve any gamblers mindset if I try to run my business.

The similarity is only from the courage in taking risks, but of course there are differences, decision making in business is usually measured or a business actor usually has thought about various possibilities that could impact his business if for example he takes a risky decision and usually they have also prepared a plan B when the risk taking does not go according to plan, while in gambling the scenario cannot be like that, when your plan does not go according to what is expected then you will lose 100% of the money you bet and you have to start again from zero. Rationally, business can be learned, meaning that even though the results of taking risks are not as expected but they get new lessons or knowledge, while in gambling when you fail there is nothing you can learn.

The risks in gambling are different from the risks in business, in my opinion. You can't fully learn how to win at gambling, but in business, you can learn how to profit.

Perhaps it wasn't his experience, but the results of his gambling that helped him start a business, like someone who wins a jackpot and uses the money to start a business and becomes a successful entrepreneur.
