-Development of Risk taking ability; to win big in life, you must be willing to try, and gamblers have so developed their risk taking ability.

You need to take some risk in real life in order to have some real experience of what would have happened if you try this and that. Sometimes we need to try the hardest things to make our life easier in the future and continue to explore some businesses that would suit our daily activities in order to further expand our source of incomes. This is not possible unless you try to use some big capital of money in order to try it and you will have some idea on how to fix it whenever things are not going your way. Unlike you were just saying "What if?" doing the actual things will give you the reality on how to handle it well.

I prefer learning all these things in other fields than learning it on gambling, in gambling we are up against house edge and there's always an urge to continue and lose everything, it's hard to set up a calculated risk in gambling I'm better at learning these stuff on trading where you have a better chance when you have tools to analyze the given situation, you cannot do that on gambling it's pure luck-based, even if you have those good attitude you still can lose.

The same in trading, while everyone is losing money, they are developing skills. Like to point out the taking risks with an assurance that it won't be wasted. Other people are just taking risks without preparation and will just depend on their luck.

With proper risk management, we are making sure that we will get that difficult win with big rewards if we do it right. Not a suicidal bet.

I don't think risk management applies to gambling other than trading.
In trading, there's no house edge so the long run can be profitable if you're placing smart trades against other traders but in terms of gambling, odds are against you long term.
In gambling, you should only bet with the money that you afford to lose.

If we go into details, we can actually find a lot of difference between trading and gambling. However, if we are talking about the habits themselves that can be learned and the experience that are acquired over time, in my opinion a lot from gambling can be used in trading and vice versa.

Relating it to real life, we live in day to day that we have to gamble and has options for which we have to gamble in able for us to attain our goals.

Just like gambling, we don't gain if we're not going to bet and risk anything for that particular better future that we have. Going back in gambling, still be a responsible gambler, don't let all things you do rely on gambling.

You grind and look for other things to reach your goals and gamble only with affordable amount to lose.

I see that no one has mentioned yet the psychological aspect of gambling - sometimes in the most difficult situations gambling gives hope for a jackpot/big win and this hope supports a person who would otherwise break down. I do not mean at all that this belief is rational and that you should hope for gambling if you find yourself in a difficult situation, but the fact is that even an irrational belief in a miracle sometimes helps people.

It's the same as what I always say here that to become a responsible gambler, these people will really have to experience losses while in the process.

While they are moving forward and building their gambling experience, eventually they will now learn how to minimize their losses and do everything to maintain their winning stats.

And the result? All those things that were mentioned by OP.

Absolutely, despite the negative words that we've been heard from the people around we are also getting back the benefits that they never have. And it is all about building ourselves to become a better person internally and having a positive mindset.
I'd found myself now being a patient and risk-taking personality which I had never seen before. Too many changes have been made and I could be proud of it.

-Development of Risk taking ability; to win big in life, you must be willing to try, and gamblers have so developed their risk taking ability.

This is the most important thing for me as a gambler, I learn to take risks and learn how to minimize the risks by calculating them. Knowing the winning probability is the first thing you have to know in order to calculate the risk, and if you master it, you should not face a problem in gambling because you know your limit and you know your chances.

Some gamblers blame gambling on their misfortune but in reality, they should blame themselves as they were the ones who did not understand the risk and their chances, they got aggressive thinking only on the bright side but not the losing side, your ability to handle your losses will define your future.

From self evaluation and the evaluation of a few gamblers around me, i have observed that over time due to gambling activity, some characters worthy of emulation have been unconsciously developed by some.

These positive impacts and also development may only happen to certain people who do really utilize gambling as one of the fun activities, earning money, and also professionals. However, it may not happen to certain addicted people who only love gambling, gambling and gambling without considering the risk and also the benefits.

Well, most people really get these benefits. Moreover they can really manage good funds to spend and also the most important thing is to control their self emotions when gambling. Because gambling is a a very addicting activity so that if we are really desired to gambling, we may be really pulled to this world and forget our control.

And other positive side is related to income. Many gamblers can earn money so much from gambling and this may help many people moreover during this pandemic

Yeah, positive sides of gambling can be found if you look closer, the more you gamble the more you understand how things work in this industry. The chances decrease to hit big multi due to the actual house edge and you decide it is not the right time to gamble anymore. Risk-taking ability and consistency to keep chasing with the hope of calling good ending also help us to analyze the real-life situations when it is time to take risks.

Although some countries prohibit gambling, but that does not mean that gambling does not have a positive side. Sometimes we understand gambling
correctly after experiencing several losses. At first I was also confused why I liked playing gambling, even though I lost a lot of money when playing
gambling. But slowly I began to realize that playing gambling is not just that we want to win, but I can be entertained and reduce stress when
playing gambling. And I think that's a positive thing that I get, another thing by gambling makes my ability to increase in managing risk in running
a business. I also don't give up easily in any case after I regularly play gambling, because gambling teaches us our luck will come as long as we can
be patient and not despair. Gambling isn't a bad thing actually, as long as we can be responsible gamblers.

I can give answers to those you have enumerated by my own definition.

-Development of Risk taking ability; - this is like every gambler aims to hit. The bigger the bet the bigger the risk.

-Development of the ability to quickly let go of things and move on; - When you play with your emotions, this could turn out negatively. When you play and had been lossing a lot than winning, you might get frustrated and bet more to get back what you have lost.

-Positive mentality - This is my most favourite feeling when I am betting to my favourite team as well as the other non-favorite but would love to bet at a certain time.

- Consistency/ Not quiting attitude; - Yes, I am consistent betting on my favourite teams, and so far they gave me more wins that losses.

I agree that there are still positive traits that you get from gambling, but most effects are negative. As long as you manage to keep yourself out from being addicted, then I can say we're all good!

Out of the dark clouds having a silver line shows the possibility of success out of gambling. The hard part everyone can't be on the silver line. Gambling is all about fun, and to stay safe setting our limits is a must.

Gambling can be compared with the cryptocurrency market, because if our calculation have gone against our prediction we might end up losing. Once after losing, out of stress should not take decisions to recover the loss. This will make you go for investment on shitcoins. Same as that one should not loss patience once after losing, because lack of patience will force the user to spend big. If lucky the recovery happens else it'll be a big loss.

That is the case with everything in life, there are positives and negatives. Gambling, in essence, is meant for FUN and only FUN, consider it like watching a game of soccer live, you had fun you spent money, no IFs and BUTs should be there. I don't really agree with the positive points in OP because I feel you start taking gambling too seriously when you seek positives from it.

Remember, gambling should be only for fun and if you are gambling or betting for anything other than fun and time killing, you are making a huge mistake and potentially digging a hole for yourself.

This observation are just necessities to build a good mental health for each gambler because some days come with massive win and some days might visit with disastrous losses so developing the mindset that suits both scenerio will keep good mental fitness in preparation for the luckier day which will definitely come

Consistency/ Not quiting attitude like that includes selfish character so he doesn't care about anything to gamble ! I don't have a positive mentality but I have a friend who has that mentality and he say will definitely get money but the result is nil' he always loses ,I have a negative mentality by the way all of that like the character of every human being not just a gambler positive character is who can always control his emotions so he has time when he want to play same with Development of the ability to quickly let go of things and move on but the reality on the ground is different and difficult to on control

- Consistency/ Not quiting attitude; Always trying regardless of previous results.

This is the point that brings about addiction in gambling, its the only point that doesn't really put the gambling idea at right for most individuals involved in gambling. Looking at gambling this way can easily put you in a position of encountering loses through an addiction build-up that naturally you would have hoped to never exist. Its not such a bad thing to develop these attitudes towards gambling and other spheres of human endeavor but then, its an added skill even to determine when it's either working or not so as to know the point at which, you could channel your energy and focus some place else.

From self evaluation and the evaluation of a few gamblers around me, i have observed that over time due to gambling activity, some characters worthy of emulation have been unconsciously developed by some.

Some of the characters that i have observed from the life of a few core gamblers around me and myself are;

-Development of Risk taking ability; to win big in life, you must be willing to try, and gamblers have so developed their risk taking ability.

-Development of the ability to quickly let go of things and move on; Dwelling on the past and the possibility of "what could have been" is really not healthy and it can weigh you down and distract you from "what can be". Though not so easy, gamblers have developed this ability to easily look ahead from the "near win" of yesterday, to try again today.

-Positive mentality (that is always believing that everyday we gamble, it may just be our lucky day for the big win).

- Consistency/ Not quiting attitude; Always trying regardless of previous results.

If you see yourself as a gambler, i implore you to put yourself in perspective and please share any positive trait that has been developed in your life as a result of gambling.

PS: The purpose of this discussion is not in any way to encourage you to gamble more, but a pointer to show that amidst the dark clouds, there is still a silver lining.

People ultimately need to identify what they want from gambling to be content. Some people are super intelligent and play games like poker, where they are able to eek out a small edge over the long term against the house and many other players, based on skill. Other people are content with gambling for fun, with a controlled and reasonable budget, where generally they lose but they win enough that the losses stay relatively small and it's a price they pay for the thrill of this type of entertainment. The last type are the problem - those who chase losses, thinking that future bets are in some way tied to previous losses (had so many losses this next one must win) and put in way more money than they can afford (damn, I just wasted the rent). It's generally the last one that need to hold of gambling forever and find something else that is less likely to ruin their wealth and health.

It's refreshing to see someone talking about gambling positively because sometimes people forget that although there are lots of negatives of gambling but eventually it's meant to be a fun activity where if you gamble in control and within limits, you will never have any issues with it.

I completely agree with the development or risk-taking ability point because while gambling we start taking risks and learn how sometimes to win you need to risk something. Now again, what's important is to make sure you are not risking more than you should have.

Not sure about the not giving up attitude because actually because after gambling for a long period of time, you get in such a state of mind where you don't care if you win or lose and you don't react much either.

This was the way that got me addicted, gambling should not be about winning big in life, it should be about fun and entertaining. I found good mind when I found gamble as just a way to have fun, this helped me to cure my addiction.

Development of the ability to quickly let go of things and move on

Not a good ability, it is a way to addiction. This was what was happening to me when I was addicted. Now I am using the money I will not even think about if I lose it to gambling because I use very little amount of money that is affordable for me. If I lose just that chicken chnage, I am still happy.

I have positive thinking more about my business with little risks not gambling. I do not take gamble seriously.

I don't take gambling serious, then I can no more quit like when I was addicted, to help me deal with the addiction at that time.

Great to hear from your personal experience and give your inputs regarding this topic.
Addiction is a serious matter so I'm glad you are out of that situation.
Not many people can overcome such situation. Maybe, for the wrong approach how to address their problem.
There are positive attitudes that you can get from gambling, but you should know when to stop and how to use it, and not get too deep in this habit.
