Topic: What did you learn as a gambler? - page 3. (Read 2845 times)
The negative side of gambling can indeed be addictive and it can happen to anyone who likes to play gambling. When I play gambling every day, I have learned tricks and strategies in gambling, but in the end I still lose too, even though I have won, but the number of my wins is only a little.
Spending money on gambling can be done in minutes but it took years to earn that money so be aware of what I am doing while betting is my primary learnt less from gambling.
Be greedy to make money but don't choose the easy way is my another lesson from the experiences of gambling.
This is true, gambling is all about luck. In very limited cases people get to make an earning using some strategies. In simple learned the value of money, because when I don't need much money I had it in my wallet. This is all through gambling and trading, but when required my wallet is empty. This made me realize the true value of money and how to spend it. Be greedy to make money but don't choose the easy way is my another lesson from the experiences of gambling.
I am not an active gambler but sometimes I play gambling with my friends and bet playing gambling cards, and what I experience does not seem to have an effective meaning to be learned from gambling other than being patient and controlling myself.
and that is all possible in theory but difficult when directly experienced and I limit gambling and do not want to be an active gambler who in my opinion is not good for me.

I agree. Everything is easier said in theory than in practice. Saying is always easier than doing. I also agree that a person like you who is not really an active gambler can easily practice patience and control compared to the older gamblers. It is my general observation that old gamblers are already addicted to a certain extent compared to those who are only playing for the sake of having fun with friends.

Suppose I were given the opportunity to share a lesson about gambling with those who have never gambled, maybe I just want to say there is no need to gamble because there are many other more ways for you to make money. But, what is happening right now is that it is difficult for me to find people who have never gambled, and when they have known gambling then at least they have their own way of life and understand what should be left and not.
i hope everyone of us have this same learning,that we must expect losing so whenever we play let us consider about the chance of risking our money again so limit the playing time and lessen the gambling habit.this is what we need to be for safe gambling.
Expecting to lose is just like gambling to waste money, it's not a good mentality IMO, I think what's important is you accept if you lose but you still aim to win because aside from entertainment, winning is our purpose in gambling too. Would it be better to consider if we are expecting to lose, we are being pessimistic and being prepared interms of psychological impacts if it really happens to us? Because if we are always looking forward to win and to expect to win will just make our emotional aspect weak especially we might be depressed if we lost too much despite of all the hope we have to win.
As a gambler, I knew how to not underestimate myself. I figured I could compete with myself quickly and I could just control myself. But when I tried to leave gambling after a couple of days, the gambling urge was so strong and then I realised how I could go against myself and it wasn't that easy to quit. So what I did I just stopped completely and now I barely never gamble just a few trades here and there on sports.
That is what we need to do in gambling. Controlling ourselves will be the important thing in gambling, so we can prevent the worst thing that can happen. We learn many things in gambling, including how to limit our money. And we can learn how to stop as soon as possible if we see that we don't have a chance to win. Stopping gambling will be the last lesson for gamblers because that will not easy to do because we need to have the power to control our minds to leave gambling forever.

Every person has a different mindset, sometimes there are some people who find it difficult to leave their habits. Actually leaving the world of gambling is easy to depend on yourself and will seriously leave it. Also, finding habits and doing useful activities will make you slowly leave gambling. If not the habit will come back again and destroy you slowly.

Never lose your money, yes I've really learned this from being a gambler. Maybe it's very easy to make money from gambling but it doesn't really make it and you're at the highest risk of losing all your money so when I want to place bets mostly I'll try not to deposit any new money I'll just play with what I've got and if I'm lucky to win I can make it big if I don't have to.
Never lose too much that is the right thing. We cannot avoid the fact that we are prone to any losses, because we cannot perfect each game , I mean I think the online casino for example has a unpredictable result so I think we need to think that in every game losing is part of the game, but losing too much is bad and we need to change our strategy .
Being gamblers I have learned a lot.
--know how to control my self and the amount that I must spend.
--I understand very well that gambling is not an alternate way to have a source of income.
--Learn to accept mistakes and move on.
--know what is provably fair than probably fair. (sounds weird)
--most of all we warned about addiction and we educate it well.
-I wish that most or all of the gamblers know that attitude that you learned too --know how to control my self and the amount that I must spend.

-It isn't and it will never be
. Those who are thinking that gambling is another source of income are either gambling addicts or stupid gamblers.-I didn't learn this in gambling but in playing online games although I have learned it too while I'm gambling.
-No idea what this is and don't need it anyway
.-I don't want to educate other people especially if they are not interested into it.

Life can be very tricky and I don't really have the calmness that I claim I do. Sometimes I win a lot of money while gambling thanks to sports teams winning when they should and everything is great, if I lose on sportsbooks it is a 90 minute match so I think I get used to the idea of losing as well.
However, sometimes when I play the casino games they are super fast and even tho there is a chance of you winning a lot of money back to back, there is also a chance you can lose ALL your money in 30 seconds, like lets assume you did martingale (bad idea) and you lost 10 times in a row, that would eat up all your money and 10 bets in a row takes at most 30 seconds, so all of your money could be gone that quickly. I just don't like that risk anymore, at least not at this age.

You probably heard the negative sides of gambling, some people who dont gamble has this bad impression towards it and we cant blame them for thinking that way because of the bad affect of gambling to a person who dont have control and let himself became addicted.
Now what did you realize or learn as a gambler (regardless if you became an addicted or not) that you can share to others?
As a former addicted gambler I realized that gambling is not the answer if you're desperate to grow your money and should not be our last resort in times like this because there's other way that can be the solution to our problem when it comes to money.

I would categorize my learnings throughout my gambling experience into two (2) categories, namely: Personal and Social aspect.
For the first category, my personal life has been continuously improving especially with my relationship to my family. Ever since I moved on from my gambling addiction, I always make it a point to overcompensate to the people that I have affected throughout my stay. I try my best to support my family members in both financial and in the spritual aspect.
On the social aspect, my relationship with my peers have been better ever since I got out from my addiction. I also managed to save up some cash in order to start my own business soon.

at some point, the loss is not always intentional, and also not something to be expected if it only depends on luck. In a different perspective I learned more ways to anticipate with Martingale and other techniques for managing money and profits that must be saved. This basic understanding makes me better understand how to play gambling comfortably. 
It's true that there's no gambler that is always on the successful path because there are rough roads that we'll take. But there will always be successful gamblers that applied what they've learn and corrected the mistake they've committed.
Responsibilities over hobby is what makes you a better man but before doing it, always set aside the other things and settle it so that you gamble at peace without anything to worry.

i love gambling after doing my responsibility as a good father to my kids and wife . this makes me gamble with a peace of mind and that is good too because i can act and think properly .
it makes me more succesful on my short term goals . still it does not mean that you will win like me if you do that strat because like what you guys said , there is no always succesful when playing a gambling and even the pro themselve do also know how to loose .
Despite of the bad thought that it's getting from most people, you are proving them wrong that it won't change the way you provide things for your family and also, they can learn from you as a gambler.
