Gambling activities as a path to curb irresponsible decision making in adults.

[Nathrixxx]

If we have been found gambling over time and had nothing to benefit from doing this on other aspects of our lives, then we have to take a look into it and try to make some checks, gambling have to positively reflect an image of responsibility and positive achievement in our lives, some has gained a lot from gambling is it helps in their decision making process, we are not just gambling for nothing sake, but gaining from doing so unconsciously.

[fredericktaylor]

honestly I feel like it is a bit risky especially for someone who’s already struggling with decision making, for me it doesn’t naturally teach structure. Most people get emotional because of it the wins make you overconfident, the losses stress you out. There are safer activities that offer the same benefits w/o the addictive element like strategy games, trading simulations, decision making workshops or even sports, those still give feedback, pressure & require discipline but w/o the financial & psychological risks.

That's right, gambling can be very risky for people who can't make good decisions on their own. A person's strong mentality is very important for gambling in a controlled manner, it's a matter of understanding how people who can't make normal decisions to manage their daily lives can manage gambling in a controlled manner, it can be even more risky. I think these people can become more emotional through gambling, which can increase the risk of losing money many times over and gambling can become an addiction.

Some people who have problems with making real life decisions as per making a one pick and sticking with it, should try to use more structured methods with gambling as the focus activity, that is considering they love the idea of gambling already, because I believe that it would help replace every emotional reaction with systematic analysis, which is a core definition of disciplined decision-making.
‎
Gambling activities make one to become hardened and swift and when controlled, it calls for more discipline at making real life decisions.
Although, it is a pure game of chance and could lead to addiction quickly, if one happens to control it by defining it in an environment as a high skill, and with high feedback, with controlled risk management activity, I am certain it could work well and be effective to curb irresponsible decision making in a young adult who is going through life confused.
‎Don't forget that the focus of using gambling activities here mandates that it must be done in an environment with structure and a feedback team or system to take note.

No one can control gambling, unless it's poker or blackjack, because chance plays such a large role. Even in the games I mentioned, chance plays a very large role. The thing is, many poker players admit they're upset when they lose first-place matches simply because their opponent had a lucky day.
Yesterday, I saw a poker match where, after going all-in, the guy I was rooting for had an 89% chance of winning. And you know what? He lost.

In gambling, luck plays a significant role. Even if we lose, perhaps we should consider ourselves unlucky enough to win, rather than being unable to accept the loss, which can only make matters worse.

The match you saw proves that luck does play a significant role in gambling. Even if we have a strong chance of winning, as you mentioned, the situation can turn around, and even those with strong odds can lose.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Gambling can teach discipline and managing emotions when done in a structured, guided way, but it’s still a risky activity so the real improvement comes from the system, rules, and feedback, not the gambling itself. Without proper control, it can just as easily create bad habits instead of helping someone make better decisions.

Also if someone got some problems in their personal life. I doubt this is a good recommendation to choose from.

[Dunamisx]

If we allow gambling to furnish ourselves the way we want, things will drastically change about us because the transformation is process is rare and not only the negative values are being appreciated alone in gambling, but we see the impact of the positive ones on users, which all depends on us and how we allow for all these things manifest upon our gambling era, influence them and make positive change.

That happens a lot in sports betting. It's happened to me when I play dice, I say dice because I practiced that game a lot since I started in casinos and it's my benchmark But I like poker and I've studied it, but it's one of those things that you study and study and you can't have a formula to always win There are many ways to play the game Poker is the game that makes me think the most, and the best thing is because it's about quick decisions.

[yhiaali3]

I disagree with you. This is a misconception. I don't know how you came up with the idea that gambling can be a way to reduce irresponsible decision-making.

I see the complete opposite. We see that most gamblers, especially addicts, are irresponsible and undisciplined in their lives and decisions. If gambling helped in making responsible decisions, addicts would be the most responsible and disciplined people, but this is absolutely not true.

It's about taking quick decision that may lead you to win or the otherway around, there's no accurate formula than experienced that you already have from your previous games, no matter how good you think your strategy and patterns there's no assurance that you'll always win as there's always a chance being upset and the outcome will not favor your side.

Though, if luck permits and you are good in timing, you can cashout while you still in green and enjoy the profits that you carry after stopping.

[OgNasty]

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me because I wouldn't consider gambling a responsible decision.  There are worse habits out there though, like smoking crack, so I guess as replacement therapy for something worse it makes a little sense.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

As a matter of fact, if someone can not make a good decision out there there's also a higher chances that such person will not also make a good decision when it comes to gambling. Gambling is not a means to help someone make a better decision. It can only provide entertainment to you and not the other way round.

I agreed with you,  gambling can not bend someone to become better decision makers, like you said, if someone is not good at making wise decision out there on other situations of life, they will not also be able to make wise decisions in gambling, the end result is bad. If OP says that some people can be changed by gambling, I might agree but generalizing it as if it makes everyone to make wise decisions, I don't agree.

I'm just thinking bit I think it is possible to learn how to be a responsible person through gambling responsibly. When you are able to train yourself to gambling in a well structured and disciplined manner, it makes it easier for you to structure certain things in your life.

Gambling is an addictive game that deals with the brain and have the ability to even alter your set goals due to its nature when you do not gamble responsibly, if that is the case, if you are able to properly train yourself to avoid such intimidation of gambling in an irresponsible way, then you should be able to withstand your urge towards other addictions especially of similar nature such as womanizing etc. I guess substance abuse should be on a different level since that includes an external substance that have the effect of altercation in your system.

The fact remains that negativity gets the most publicity, a truckload of non gamblers, seeing all the harsh situation of problem gamers, assume nothing good could be made out of gambling. If they had gone close to find out more about why these victims became who they're, self harm would be the answer, they won't have anyother reason to stigmatize gambling and all its participants.

I do not understand what you mean, so anyone that is having problems with making real life decisions should start to gamble or what are you implying?

That's not the point, he's actually talking about those that find it hard to make a decision in real life that they can as well find it hard to make a decision in gamble. And surely when you can't stick to your decision it is very hard for you to succeed or cope in whatever thing you're doing. take for instance when you are giving the opportunity to make cash out, you know at this point You would be having a double thought which is. Cash out, why the other would say don't cash out, at this point you might get confused as you don't know the one you would go for, and sometimes you might be forced to make cash out and if the game eventually play then, you start regretting why you hit the cash out botton in the first place.  but if you know how to make a decision and also Stick to it you won't feel kinda way even though the game played.

[Doan9269]

As mature adults, i don't expect for irresponsible decision, because this could show high level of irresponsibility on a general view and that shouldn't be introduced as well into gambling, we have to plan well and prepare for the worse in gambling, if we are true and genuine gamblers, we should then be able to know what is right for us to do and not to do, while the influence of gambling should contribute more to our personal growth and development on every sides, without negative impressions towards gambling and life in general.

I mean I can understand the gesture and thought behind your thinking which in most case is very important but gambling is not something you do for free, and if someone has a hard thing sticking to one thing in real life, in casino or on his phone he will be have 20 open bets and before you know it he is emotionally attached and immediately dependent on gambling, so gambling is not what an irresponsible person using to learn discipline. I mean if you lose enough money and enter debts, if you manage to come out of those debts maybe you would be forced to discipline but even that is not guaranteed because people make same mistakes 2, 3 times. So if you are struggling life with decisions, gambling Should be the last thing you should be doing.

[boyptc]

Being responsible and have the control to your own gambling activities will definitely going to curb down the irresponsible decisions that we make as gamblers.

We as adults have a lot of things to tackle in our daily lives. And if we can't be responsible with the way we gamble, we'll have hard time in solving other real life problems.

Because if we've been gambling for so long and that's not stopping us in making bad decisions and continues to do it, you'll also see that you'll be making bad decisions in other things.

[WhoYouCantKill]

I understand your point, yet mixing decision-making training to gambling is risky. Even in a setup that well structured, the line in-between discipline and habits that are harmful can quickly blur. People are able to study analysis, patience and risk control far more safely by strategy games, exercise on budgeting or even mentorship. The addictive nature of gambling made it a poor tool for development personally, mostly for those already confused and vulnerable.

Gambling honestly teaches us one thing: we’ll either become better or worse players but that’s just the reality. Because people experience it differently: for some, it helps financially; for others, it’s a way to cope with life’s problems and clarify their thoughts. And then there are those who treat it as their only hope.

The worst part? Gambling can corrupt everything, turning someone into an addict who shatters their own identity, destroys their family, and plummets their life into a miserable state
you know the kind I mean.

[Makus]

Not really accurate, you don't need to gamble as a path to learn how to make responsible decisions as an adult. Making responsible decisions is all about being disciplined and mature mentally. There are lessons we learn as gamblers but this doesn't mean it stops us from making messed up decisions. for those that are not gamblers it would be unwise to start gambling just to curb irresponsible decision making. Being in control over your gambling activities can indeed have a huge impact in other areas of life but you must understand that this doesn't really apply to everyone, some people can still make terrible decisions and still be able to gamble responsibly
