Topic: Experience is needed before one can gist/talk about gambling - page 4. (Read 436 times)
Just like every other thing you need to get a certain level of experience before you can have a comfortable conversation with those who understand it. Take football for example, you can't expect to hold a conversation with those who are knowledgeable about it, if you don't expose yourself to information you would not be able to talk about it. This is also the same for gambling, without having experience in it you can't have talk about it with other gamblers or have something. This is why people who don't understand gambling and the addiction that comes with it can't relate or understand why gamblers go all in.

An experience in gambling is of course needed before you should have or hold discussions regarding gambling and specific games played in casinos, but the truth is that some people do not wait for their own experience but rather will leverage on the experience that other gamblers have from the years they've been gambling. Whether it is experience personally gained or from the experience of another person, just make sure that you have an idea of what you're talking about because it is totally immature to hold discussions regarding gambling to people who have knowledge in gambling without you having any knowledge at all, your stupidity will be easily noticed. 
as long as you are one that is a active gambler, you don't need to do any research first engaging in any gambling related discussion or argument. of course you need to be knowledgeable on the gambling related topic that is being talked about and sometimes it is not all the happenings that you might be conversant with but still, one that is familiar with the niche of gambling he is involved in would always have something to contribute when the situation to speak arises.
on the forum, we have often time found people sharing experiences that are not real on the gambling board or engaging in conversation that are not familiar with. it is always easy to point out those kind of people because it is usually easy to dictate real from unreal.

I do not know if this is familiar with others but from my location a lot of people do see gambling as such a bad thing so when it comes to gambling discussion it only takes people who knows each other to discuss or talk about gambling with each other. And of course experience is need to talk about gambling activities with others but perhaps experience doesn't just come from ones personal encounters it also comes from hearing, seeing others experience it. conclusively I think one can really discuss gambling with others without having personal experience on it.
Not entirely true, one can talk about gambling through data gathering, hearing from the experience of others, seeing others got devastated or elevated by gambling. Remember knowledge can be acquired through different options. One having a personal experience and another one having a second hand experience (others telling their tales about how they are lucky or sucks on gambling and many more). Another is through reading books documented by professionals that study about gambling and anything that goes under it.
So yeah I agree that to be able to have a sound conversation with people about gambling, one should have the knowledge about gambling but obviously whether one needs experience in gambling depends on the topic being discussed. Personal experience is needed to connect to the person when talking about the thrill, excitement and frustration a.k.a emotions while gambling, while anyone can discuss about gambling addiction theories even without experiencing gambling and by simply reading books and data about gambling and its effect on individual.

Although I do not think it compulsory for one to have personal gambling experience but for one to be able to have a conversation with others who do gamble, there must have been research on the topic, there must be some understanding of the rules and techniques involved in gambling, there must be knowledge of the gambling industries recent trends, statistics and upgrades, there must also be the knowledge of responsible gambling practices and all the potential risks involved with it.
Otherwise, why would one be bold enough to talk about gambling with others who have better and recent experience than you who have no idea nor have ever tried to gamble away some few bucks just to have a story to tell?
I think that when one has a prior gambling experience somehow, it qualifies such a one to openly gist/talk about it and even share strategies that may be accepted and logical enough.

I like to think the opposite of what you are implying, infact that's the cause of so many off topic talks from users here because most of them don't even actually have the experience and it results to poor insight of knowledge in whatever they are trying to contribute on when it comes to gambling discussion. With gambling I feel experience is highly needed for you to offer the exact image of what is being discussed.
Of course, before we can engage and about various gambling topics, we should be really have some experience about it. And in may years that I have stay in the community, I know who are the people that have that kind of experience under their belt, like really bet on certain sports or have been in land base casinos or played poker as compare to those people who just say something about some topics but clearly is not a gambler.
Or maybe their experience is not that big, and just started playing some years ago when the advent of crypto. But as long as they have admitted it, it will be OK. But there are individuals who went beyond saying stuff but they haven't experience it yet so when you question them, they might not defend themselves or explain fully what they mean.

Personal experience is what is very important both for discussion sake and also for practical sakes because what is the need to research and have knowledge about gambling when you are not gambling in real life, being informed theoretically is not enough, one needs to be active in gambling to be a master in it even though it hard to achieve such a status in gambling, but at least let have our own first-hand experience and information and not based on research and discussions topics alone it can't give us that true and real info we need to apply to our gambling conditions.

Some people who engage in gambling related topics might not be real gamblers but have seen, heard and learnt from other gamblers' experiences and drew a conclusion that certain actions are either good or bad, or that a certain pattern is good because it had favoured someone they know. Although drawing conclusions this way and giving opinions on matters they don't really have experience in can be sometimes bias, any reasonable adult who understands that gambling is all about luck and risks will not fall for any kind of advice thrown at him. What he should focus more on is his ability to manage his risks and not about arguing blindly about strategies that he obviously knows that is not real.

Anyone can start a conversation about gambling whether they have any personal experience or not. They can gist about the experiences of others and how they suit them in a way. I can only agree with you that sharing opinions in gambling conversations should only be done by people who have had first-hand experience with gambling. If they forcefully share false information they they are misleading the other parties. To be honest the conversation can only get better if both parties have a clue or deep experience on the topic of discussion.

If you have some experience with gambling, when you engage in a gambling discussion you will have more to say just saying "Gambling is bad."Knowledge of any area at all make you articulate and when you speak on that subject you are able to fashion out your points in a logical and coherent manner. In gamble, your view will be balance, hence instead of saying that gambling is bad, you argument will be based on the fact that if an individual gamble irresponsibly, they can ruin their life. Then you go on to highlight some examples of irresponsible gambling.
The knowledge of gambling will also make the person know the stratgies to help a gambling addict. You don't don't say haow to gamble safe, you also mention how to help an addict. There is also the mention of the different gambling types, the difference between sports and casino games. There just many of them.
A situation I see frequently when people talk about gambling is that they claim it's possible to make consistent profit from it. I tell them it's not possible, but they insist the opposite. Then I keep quiet and let them talk about their awesome winning experiences. People also believe there are safe strategies to gamble, like placing huge bets with small odds.
With that in mind, anyone can talk about gambling on their own way, but of course experience makes total difference in order to not look like a fool or to lead other potential gamblers into mistakes.
