It's not gambling that can build your character but it's important that you have a good and strong character if you are going to gamble, you cannot justify that you are gambling because you want to develop a good trait, it's like justifying why you are spending and losing a lot of money, I prefer to look at gambling as it is and that is to get entertain, and spending more money and time will lead you to lose money and time.
Are you going to recommend gambling to build character it's like heading them into a quicksand.

I agree in order to develop good characters of out of gambling first we need to be capable of learning out of anything. Addicted gamblers will never mind about learning anything while they are gambling. Such type of gamblers will keep on gambling regardless of whatever outcome they are facing so when they are not focusing anything outside from gambling then you cannot expect them to be developing good characteristics from their activities.

Overall, the positive evolution of gambling is possible only for the gambler who are all open to learning. If you ignore everything then there will be no room for any of positive things.

-Development of Risk taking ability

Really gambling is mischaracterized. I see gambling as risk evaluation and sure its shown as a game but some of the games in a casino are also taught within Maths lessons during probability theory studies, a subject hundreds of years old. The main thing that is incorrect is to have people borrow money in some way to spend, straight away thats a negative because this is a game and to borrow is incorrect but thats true for every leisure activity dont spend money you havent got and nothing to do with the risky part. Some people should stay away from gambling its true but thats a lesson required on a few things in life, drinking all sorts some should avoid.

Most probably if we are more positive, we might attract good luck in life and that could give you the benefit of making good money even if you are not that active. There is always risk, we always make decision to be better both in life and in gambling, try to think positively and just enjoy life and gambling.

I do not like this idea of positive thinking when talking about gambling, there are much more positive think with gambling addicts, they are losing but having more positive thinking to hit the jackpot, but they continue to lose more and more until the positive thinking got them into trouble.

Gambling is not about positive thinking, it is about learning how to balance it with normal life in a way it will not affect our normal life and not getting addicted.

Gambling is far different in life because we can control our own future while gambling depends only on probability no matter how try or struggle just to win.

Well you find the slight difference between gambling and life. But at least in gambling we can only try to control defeat and control emotions to avoid carelessness to risk everything for the sake of ambition even though in gambling it is a very fatal mistake. Controlling to rest defeat is the best way to avoid addiction.

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

As a gambler then this kind of behavior or ability is a must to have because this would limit out yourself on getting addicted if you do just know on how to handle things up without
going into that certain extent.

You should be aware on how thing works and how to make out actions varying on the situation and at least you do know on how to react and make out actions
on a specific condition.

-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 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.

Positive mentality

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

Quote from: Rruchi man on November 15, 2021, 06:06:08 AM

Consistency/ Not quiting attitude

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.

As a gamblers, been affirmative about one's game and results is very important which can help and bring luck to a person. Gambling is mostly luck so when your luck comes, it always come in a massive way making you to have a big results that could bring fund that will cover previous loses.
A full term gamblers always win big most time because they are updating their strategies ways with bigger expectations.

there is a saying "a knife will be sharp if you keep sharpening it", gambling is the same when we do it often then our instincts will wake up and we can have sharpness of thinking because not all gambling is based on luck

if you only rely on luck and don't have a sharp mind then you will never win at poker and blackjack, I guarantee that

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.

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

I didn't realize it until I read this thread of yours so I really appreciate the efforts of sharing it with us especially the gamblers in this community. When I lose my bet in sports, I am not that mad anymore or stressed out the whole day because of it. I just let it go and try again tomorrow.
It's somehow funny when I remember it. I didn't think there will be a positive side to gambling, not that I gambled way far.

Many do not realize the other positive effects of gambling and that is normal. I really believe that professional gamblers out there realize that gambling builds their mentality and mind, so don't always think that losing is bad, let's learn and grow from that bad experience.

Cant really be avoided on why most people do really think off that gambling is always been a bad thing which i couldnt really blame them off yet most of the time we are seeing off with negative effects most of the time and wont really tending to see the other side or simply with good things. It isnt really that bad if you do know on how to control up yourself and on what perception you do have
towards gambling.Some might be seeing this as a stress reliever and some do sees it as a source of income. Things do happen but basing on what you do have anticipated.

Good findings.The problem though is that only a few people and few gamblers apply the skills unconsciously developed by gambling in their real life scenarios.If a lot of them would implement those skills in their real life scenarios surely we would see much more successful people than we already know.

Still though a good topic and most probably I would make this one sticky here if I were a moderator so that many other gamblers can see this and keep those skills in mind and try to apply them in different real life scenarios.

I would argue that not many gamblers develop those positive aspects to begin with, and the reason is that since the majority see gambling as a source of entertainment and not as a way to learn anything about themselves then most of the time they they will learn nothing from their experiences, it requires a person with some tendencies towards self-reflection for this to happen naturally, but still gambling can be a way to develop some skills that will help you later in other aspects of your life as long as you keep your eyes open and learn from your gambling experiences.

If we learn from small mistakes and see changes for the better, it's very positive. However, there are reasons why gambling is banned in many places around the world. Unfortunately, many people do not see the negative effects of gambling and it is very dangerous for them. My point is that such people can get addicted easily and then unfortunately it is very negative.

The character that we had before must be really strong because in any gambling it can change if we can't control it, then about the real character that must be able to animate where when playing gambling it remains normal and not influenced by its emotional style, sometimes people judge it because it can but all we can do according to our own control.

I see friends around me who have good character lost due to misdirection in gambling, meaning they can't control the passions that they put forward, and make their real character disappear.

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.

I particularly like the first points and on reflection I think I have developed these traits
and only since I came to the gambling board. While I wouldnt be a big gambler
and only playing with an initial pot of 1mbtc I am able to keep my gambling in check,
assess the risk and if a bet doesnt work out, move on constructively while staying
positive and assessing the next risk.

Two more I could add:

Moderation - like almost everything in life we should moderate our activity and
balance that with other tasks and hobbies.

Patience - everyone in the crypto (Bitcoin) space should be well versed in
practising patience and realising it all doesnt have to happen today.

If we can create a balance between all these positive traits and habits it should only
lead to positive results.

For me the first and second point really make sense because in my own experience I'm a type of a person who is afraid to take a big risks in my life and sometime it's hard for me to move on especially if it has a huge impact so I can relate on it. As a gambler it really help a lot of having the ability to quickly let go of the things, let go of failure and move on and try again but in myself I always set a limitation and practice moderation, many of the negative side that we heard about gambling is because these people were too much engaged and forget to practice moderation in their gambling activities.

These are just assumptions and they are not back by studies I Google if I can find any articles that can back up this analysis coming from a reputable author I find this article coming from

An author who is a professor of corporate strategy and policy at the School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University.

Thesis and studies are always late to happen in my observations and if you have noticed this community members are always sharing like they learned lots of lessons out of their day to day gambling activities. So, these are all not just assumptions but some perspective view of how gambling could help you to develop your habits and skill set.

Comparing to the problems we are facing out of gambling, the skills and habits we are learning from it may not be significant in my opinion. I mean we do not need any such skills out of gambling and I will not recommend anyone to go for gambling just for the reason of developing these skills.

If you think about it, it means that I feel that life is like a gamble, determining our fate based on the decisions we make. Then decide between forward or backward. In terms of gambling, they are also often faced with large bets or withdraw and do not enter the betting contest. But the fact is that we miss something that can make life more profitable than other people.

Yes sometimes but not always, I agree on this because in every decision that we made, There's only 2 result which is to become successful or failure. The good thing about life was we can always improve ourselves on experience and training which improves our success rate compared on gambling which is based on pure luck. Gambling is far different in life because we can control our own future while gambling depends only on probability no matter how try or struggle just to win.
