Topic: Two Carreer skill benefit of gambling (Read 687 times)

Just to add on your list, I think the benefit of gambling is that it teaches you how to manage your expenses. It also teaches you to practice decision-making skills since you are on the very platform where it should definitely matter.

While there may be thousands of negative aspects about gambling, there are also some positive effects that we cannot overlook. But in all honesty, it is just not worth it to gamble purely if you want to experience its positive effects.


I agree that it is definitely nice to see people to look for the positive on the negative. But in all honesty, there are far better alternatives that people can exercise instead of doing gambling. I do think that making gambling as a habit can be destructive at the very least- that is why make it only as a recreational activity instead as a hobby.

Doesnt matter on what type,kind or etc. of  gambling you are involved into on which you would naturally be able to get those kind of learnings along the way which it isnt really just that limited
on gambling activity but also in other things as well if we do speak about learning those kind of traits. Skills could be acquired normally basing up on the thing that you are dealing with. You are someone whose really that mindful when it comes to enhancing skills and behaviors then it would be naturally be coming into you and something that do talks about improving yourself into this aspect
on which this could really be that something that would really be beneficial for you on longer runs.

You're right about that and it depends on who's doing it and what kind of gambling he's playing. And I mentioned that it's not impossible to get, but to get it is very difficult. And when it comes to sports betting, this type of gambling seems to promise us enough to be able to win, because in practice this gambling is very dependent on the analysis techniques we do and depends on the club that is competing. So the opportunity to be able to increase the possibility of us getting the victory is always there.

When we talk about card gambling, this depends on the knowledge and a trick that you play when gambling. because if you have a good enough trick to weaken your opponent, then you can win.

I'd really like to see how a gambler who plays dice all day on auto is training his critical thinking or social skills
Your average online gamer is training the same skills without risking any money and is probably going to be better at both.


I think that you're trying to justify gambling by looking for positives where there are none. Maybe you are making decisions faster now, but idt doesn't have to be associated with gambling but simply... getting older and gaining life experience. Our characters change as we get older.

It's interesting because the thread deals a lot with what we get out of the game to apply it in our personal life, and in this very specific case you emphasize looking for a job and yes, there are some things that help, for example, outside of this it is analogous to being a musician, mastering one more language, or the simple fact that you are good at mathematics, but that you play chess is something that helps a lot with all this, in response to the critical question, you are right, it is always good to show confidence that whoever It will be there and it will solve and in terms of interpersonal relationships it is always good to have someone who likes everyone so that they do not create problems and that causes internal problems in a company, but I consider that the best skill there is is that those who have played chess, it helps them to think faster, to learn a language much faster and, above all, to predict, and by predicting they can intuit many possible problems that the company has or that there are some vulnerabilities that only we see, that is where nsotoro we have to enter.

There are people who are very dedicated to their jobs, but there are always ways to optimize the work so that they can rest a little more and that does not mean being lazy, it means that the work takes another role, and does not become boring or repetitive , so One of the things that I always focus on is knowing how to strategize with respect to time, so that I don't arrive on a Sunday to do a job under pressure that I need to do on Monday first time and that it is very difficult for me to finish it, sometimes in The sense of planning must have or exist the vision of how we will do it, he who has the vision of how he will do things, sees them first in his mind, and then materializes them, something like in chess, whoever plays chess is intelligent. , good strategy and knows how to manage his times, that's why I say that he knows how to play that sport is the best.

Of course because it is a fact, all impacts in gambling will always depend on what you are looking for in gambling, if indeed your goals are positive and not out of line then maybe you will get some benefits  such as fun and many new friends as a result of socialization in your gambling involvement, I'm sure you will remain fine and will not experience some financial problems in particular. Changes in mindset and goals cannot be completely avoided, because after you play all possibilities are very possible, such as for example you come with the right goals but because you are disappointed because the final result is absolutely nothing good enough then that's where your consciousness will start to be tested, you will completely forget all the plans you prepared at the beginning including some restrictions and goals, and I'm sure after  that it's no longer fun that you are looking for but you will think of ways to restore something that has been lost there and also obviously that negative impact will continue to accompany you.

Yes that's right if indeed the negative impact always accompanies you then obviously the only option is that you have to take a little time to rest, give just a little time for  your brain and mind to rest, because I'm not sure you will be able to survive with so much pressure, the point is always to keep your self-control.

yeah.. I think that's The potential duality of casinos as both a platform for social interaction and a source of temptation. I have seen some individuals utilize casinos as a means to enhance their social skills and forge new connections. However, the allure of gambling and the carefully crafted atmosphere within casinos can easily spiral into excessive or problematic gambling behavior. All I feel about casinos are meticulously designed to evoke strong emotions and heighten arousal, making it challenging to maintain self-control. The flashing lights, enticing sounds, and constant promise of winning can cloud judgment and lead to impulsive decisions.

Maybe some individuals find value in visiting casinos for social purposes, because it's a good place to exercise caution and maintain strong self-control. I think that the decision to gamble should be made with careful consideration of the potential risks and benefits. For those seeking social interaction and entertainment, alternative avenues should be explored to minimize the exposure to the enticing yet potentially harmful environment of casinos.

Don't think so, a person who frequents a physical casino, regardless of his game type, would find people who also participate in such games to associate with and share ideas. Players who think they need help can easily start a conversation with the person next to their slot machine. A times players can try convincing you not to play the predicted game in slot. Conversation always will erupt, leading to more intense one, which could make both parties friends. However, the whole aim is for fun purpose, whether their idea worked or you chose not to listen to them, and followed your choice. Unless the person doesn't want to associate, as most times we can't wait for players to talk to us first. The skill improves for people who wish to increase their social skill, they'll need to enter conversation with gamblers around them. Because they'll easily have a good conversation, without thinking of being neglected. Most people don't start conversation, due to the fear of getting snubbed or not having a nice talking time. But, when with fellow gamblers, some would have enough confidence to engage in the discussion. And they'll be equipped with more details to talk about regarding gambling. It all begins gradually, and sooner the player would adapt. With the newly achieved skill, the gambler can easily engage into discussion with colleagues in offices.

It's nice that someone's able to get some benefit out of gambling, I hope that this is the case for everyone that's gambling out there, for them to be able to get something positive out of gambling instead of just frustrations, anger and greed. As much as I congratulate OP for having gained those skills and seeing it improving his daily interaction with other people, I can't help but feel like this might not be applicable to other people, maybe you're already a social butterfly before you have gambled and it just so happens that you've improved more your already innate ability to socialize because sometimes there are people out there that's not really good at socializing and even when they gamble, they didn't improve in that aspect.

I believe physical or land-based casinos can have other benefits as well for gamblers such as boosting their confidence. A person who is shy and doesn't talk or socialize much can have this vanish for sure after some time if they go to a land-based casino on a regular basis because they can interact with other gamblers and talk to strangers which will boost their confidence and make them feel like they can also ignite conversations and they won't be shy anymore.

A lot of people barely care about the losses when they go to land-based casinos because all they want to do is enjoy their time and experience the thrill, so even if they lose everything they have taken with them for gambling, they won't regret it because, at the end of the day, they had a very good time.

Perhaps some people can change or improve their skills so they can socialize better through gambling, but some people don't because they are influenced by what is in the casino, so instead of being able to improve their skills, they fall into gambling. But it is true that casinos are meant to evoke strong emotions and have risks that must be taken into account by each gambler, so each gambler must realize that they need self-control when gambling in casinos. But when there are people who visit casinos and gamble and have the intention to use gambling as entertainment and a place to make new friends, maybe they will get something useful from visiting the casino. That is why we really need strong self-control so that we can avoid the temptations in casinos and avoid the desire to gamble excessively. Once we get our goal, we will leave the casino because we have got what we were looking for.

You are right in what you say because it all comes back to our purpose of going to the casino and how we can achieve what we want. But if our desires change when we gamble, we are no longer trying to get positive benefits from gambling but will instead get negative impacts from gambling because we have lost a few dollars. We will not think about making friends from the casino, but we will think about how we can get money from the casino, so we will only try once we can get money. Actually, we can continue gambling as long as we can control ourselves well because that is one of the keys to avoiding problems in casinos.

Perhaps you need to leave the casino for a while so you can take a break from gambling and also improve your social relations with the people around you. They will choose it, and hopefully, they won't choose the wrong path by making gambling a place to make money instead of wanting to use gambling as a way to make some new friends who might become business buddies.

Definitely critical thinking and decision making would be the great factor or benefit of gambling. Me personally love critical thinking when gambled, first I am thinking about where should I guess in and the final is decision making. Even in real life we can use it not only in gambling, even when you are loosing you have the decision to make if you are going to continue or not.

I guess this will depend on what platform you use in gambling. If you are the type to use online website to bet and play, the chances are slim that you will be able to socialize because you are mainly focus on your game without interaction with other gamblers. Unless you have a community where you can share your ideas and talk to other gamblers. Meanwhile, if you are the type to visit physical casino establishments, it will be highly likely to develop intrapersonal skills that can be your edge over other people. Communication skills will be honed once you are surrounded with other people with various perspectives. So you might bring this to an interview and to the office as well. Showing collaboration and having a smooth talking skills will definitely get you somewhere.

In both, critical thinking is honed. It's really important for gamblers to know about risk assessment and management. Impulsive decisions do not have a place in gambling, otherwise you'll end up losing and you'll end up being stressed.

We should avoid to generalize when it comes to the benefits some gamblers can get out of this hobby, and I say this because even if there are indeed games in which you can get to know people from all walks of life and make all kind of new connections, this is only possible in some games, like poker, roulette, blackjack and other similar games, and that is assuming you are gambling at a physical casino.

However if your favorite games are dice or slots then you are not going to get many interactions that could help you to socialize with other gamblers.

It has been said before in many ways, but you said it briefly very well.

There are not two identical gamblers, and the attribution of behavioral or personality traits to the activity of gambling is like sayin' that the Taurus are closed-minded. And, tbh, if I had to hire somebody and I knew that one of the candidates is a gambler, it definitely wouldn't count as a positive point for him.

All of that will be really useful or we can feel the benefits and wisdom if we bring the right goals, it is true that if we look at the positive aspects then maybe we will have  many new friends there. Of course, everyone has their own freedom to choose what alternatives or intermediaries they will make as a place to build good socialization with others. For myself, to be honest, if I have never known about gambling and if I have to choose, maybe I will prefer other alternatives which certainly do not have the risk of the possibility of things that are not wanted such as the bad effects of gambling.

It is likely that I would prefer other places such as for example a gym, karoke or other fun places that do not have long-term risks but can still get positive impacts such as one of them building good social relationships with other people. So the bottom line is that only they can choose it, I can't force them to choose something better, and maybe I would just hope that if you do choose gambling then you must be able to manage  everything well, especially applying self-control and some other limits so that you stay safe and don't end up with addiction.

We often forget how daily interactions, especially in casinos, build our social and cognitive skills. Casinos are full of risk, reward, and human behavior. It's amazing how one can educate us about probability, decision-making, and emotional control. Casinos can improve talents, but do they promote positive social skills? Casinos are meant to evoke strong emotions and calculated risks. Instead of improving social skills, may this atmosphere promote transactional, even opportunistic behavior? Limiting oneself and accepting losses are crucial life skills. The question is whether gambling's unpredictability and focus on money really promote sensible financial conduct. Gamblers often get caught up in the thrill of what if, ignoring financial preparedness. Can we be responsible in an environment founded on uncertainty? Do we need to tread carefully in this strange situation?

I think it's depend on what gambling a gambler play and the frequency of the bet, if it's luck-based gambling, it has to be fifty-fifty chance or lower. if it's sport gambling, there are 80% win rate at one attempt, but it provides very low odd/rewards, like putting bet on who will win the game Real Madrid vs Cadiz. lol

I think gambling is always luck-based bet at the start which potentially changes onwards. Poker for example, It's fifty-fifty or lower chance to before the cards are distributed, it changes after the cards are distributed. But when gambling is played on certain duration with some amount of bets, It will never be more than 50% chance of winning.

So far I have never come across anyone who eventually gave birth to critical thinking from the effects of gambling. This is very rare and probably hard to find. As for the impact it is more stressful quiet and often encountered easily explosive emotions every time they lose.  Luck is more pure and comes in unexpected ways.  Controlling critical thinking alone does not guarantee that luck can also be controlled.  The nature of the Socialization of gamblers  is that it is easier to attract people who do not gamble to follow them. Providing a tantalizing approach and then equally bringing them into the circle of addiction.

You know, I have never thought about that before. Does gambling improve your critical thinking and socialization? A very thought-provoking question, indeed!

I am sure that many gamblers have a lot of experience with other skill aspects as well. As to the other skills that a I could have learned by simply gambling with a passion: How about self-control, discipline, concentration, planning, risk-management and budgeting skills?

Although I would avoid telling people where I learned such skills, since gambling will probably be seen in a negative light to whoever you are trying to convince of your character and skill-set.
