One of the big takeaways I learned as a person who occasionally gambles is that the odds are against you in many cases, and that's just fine. House edge is present in almost every game imaginable, and you just have to accept that and most importantly realize that it's not realistic to expect massive profits or even a little profit from gambling at all, but rather losses most of the time. I still gamble because there's a massive amount of entertaining games out there on various casinos and new ones releasing every day, and I'm fine with losing the relatively small amount of money I gamble weekly for entertainment.

It's amazing how gambling makes losing money interesting, but until you try it you won't know?
There are a lot of interesting games that you can play without being hooked up, but again, hooking up is far more interesting because it gives that adrenaline rush and irresistible feeling.

I know that there are many gamblers that use borrowed money to gamble. That is a characteristic of a worst gambler. In gambling, there is no certainty to win your bets or else many became rich with gambling. And it will be more difficult to pay the borrowed money because there is an additional interest on it.
For some gambling addicts this might not be problematic enough, because many gamblers also have strong beliefs. But in my opinion if someone has reached that point, borrowing money to gamble then that person is already at the stage of a heavy gambling addict.

What did you learn as a gambler?
It seems like this question is very simple but I have some answers for OP,
  • Learn how to win, tricks, and tips that still work, It is inevitable that many gamblers will find out from various sources how they can continue to win. Learn tips and tricks that are usually shared by gamblers on Google and even from the experience of friends themselves.
  • Control emotions, This part is difficult for most gamblers. Many gamblers cannot control their emotions because of various things. Gambling makes many people feel curious so that sometimes they don't realize that the contents of the wallet are empty.
  • Manage finances, Too eager to win more is a gambler's fault in my opinion. I think a gambler must be good at managing their finances both when they win and even when they lose. When they cannot manage it well, they may become poor because they have used up all their wealth to gamble.

Like any industry, I think there is so much you can learn from gambling that you can never be completely equipped since most if the tips change with the different platforms played even if the games are the same familiar ones you know. One important rule I 'd say though about learning as gambler is to now yourself such that you can quite the game when you need to.

There is nothing bad in gambling more but it shall be paired with great control over emotions and especially greed. Greed makes thing worse when you are gambling often. When you win some good money, definitely you get inclined towards big bets which are offering great money. I like gambling when I am playing with the money from my savings not with the money that I have borrowed from someone.

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.

What I have learnt from my gambling experience is that the more you gamble the more you will lose.
If you want to try your luck it is the best to do it only once. And the thing that everybody is aware of "Do not gamble money that you cannot afford".

There is another point which is very important that is if you want to continue for longer and do not want to be empty sooner then you have not to go for bigger bets. Better option for any successful gambler is to gamble with lower amounts which will not only keep you in the game for longer time but it will also give you much knowledge for the future purpose and with that knowledge it is possible that you may win good number of bets.

I havent able to reach that certain state where i do become addicted with gambling because as early as i do able to realize that making money out of gambling is really hard to sustain.
I do have that thing in mind to become rich with it but it does work on the opposite way which made me realize that luck what matter most in here and we know that we arent lucky anytime.
Before i do lost up soo much money i do able to stop midway and preventing myself to have more damage when it comes to financial.Dont let yourself get addicted before you do eventually learn.

It is something much more deeper than stopping though. Somehow complicated to elaborate but as you go play and gamble, you'll sooner handle much more differently than you used to. Some personal perspective prior to playing. Anyway getting back to the topic itself these are just the most learning I am taking off more important.

Just some takeaways I am living off whenever I gamble.
  
  • Always have a plan before playing
  • Don't let emotions take over on what you are playing
  • Alert yourself on when to stop

It may all sound simple but it is very important to me.

Apart from being a good entertainment that helps me to relax after a busy day and to regain my strength so that I could do my job, gambling has helped me to understand probability better. I may be wrong, but I think that the better you understand probability, the easier to come up with a right decision in your everyday life.
Yes this is what I am talking about. It is not only for us to have money or to make it as a source of income but rather it coule be our source of fun. If you are having fun in gambling I think it more likely you will win your game, and also you may accept every lose fairly because you are enjoying it. It teaches me to enjoy little things and little earnings.

I've learned a lot from gambling,  one of the best lesson is not to make a decision when angry, and never chase a loss money during gambling,  because you will be more eager to win by all means thereby neglecting to calm down and think about the strategy or technique that ought to be used in winning
The other lesson from gambling is always limit the money that you use to gamble because without limiting the money, you cannot have a chance to save some money to play gambling on another day. Besides money, you also need to limit the time that you use in gambling so you can stop playing gambling if you think it is enough to play gambling for that day. Besides limiting the money and money, you should not be greedy in gambling because that can make you lose the chance to save the money if you win.
I don't think the limit is the perfect way to save oneself from overspending or spending too much time on gambling and the last time i checked learning how to balance both emotions, buzz and losses are the right characteristics needed the most of be a profitable gambler and these are what i learnt so far through gambling.

Well, gambling gives me a lesson not to gamble, because when you choose to gamble with any reason then in the end you will continue to gamble unknowingly it will make you a gambling addict. At least that's what I realized when I was active in gambling every day and even so, after leaving gambling the thought of returning was always there so that the real lesson could be learned was about self-control.

I have learned that as a grown human and I can still cry.. lol. All jokes aside it did helped me with my math a bit, I wasn't really caring about math equations before I started all of this, I am not working in a job that requires me to have any math at all so my last mathematics related thing was back in high school 15 years ago when I started gambling but now I can do off the top of my head mathematical calculations, sure they are not really that difficult normally but they were difficult when I first started, I used calculators back in those days, now I can do two digit times two digit numbers and that is not half bad for someone who neither needs or wants to know any math at all and normally pretty horrible anything related to math.

If your job requires any math at all or if you had any previous math experience you may not know what I am talking about.

Two things I learned in gambling is one discipline in when to stop. Maybe a lot of gamblers are having a hard time when to stop specially when they keep on winning, but in my case I can stop when I need specially when I reached my goal already. Second is how to bank my profits, others will just keep their funds in their accounts but in my case learned how to transfer my profits in my BTC wallet to secure my gains and keep my capital in my account (casino or dice site).
You really are a very professional gambler. How long have you managed to control yourself in gambling? I am still not consistent in controlling myself. However, I was successful enough not to experience addiction and other bad behavior because of the effects of gambling defeat. Indeed the most difficult part is to stop. You are really good at it


For being a long time in cryptocurrency most of the time, I spent my whole day playing gambling because I want to play card games and dice and by the Influence of the peers they support and give a knowledge how to start in gambling and by the time goes by I learned a lot of things that can improve my self to face a good opponents, in gambling you think you are strong enough to play against another player but that's wrong because there is a player too that can conquer the whole game and can defeat you all, gambling not just full of excitement and win the game it is for lose also because in every game there is a loser still, those lose is bring you down to lose hope and play again else use those failure to improve more and perform again.

Well, just like the others said "self discipline" will be the first thing that someone will learn after you get through gambling addiction. I may not call myself an addicted gambler since I already had self discipline before I engaged into gambling. Earning money through your day job ain't easy, I'd rather spend every bit of it to feed my family to spend it in gambling.
What I ultimately learned is to gamble with just little money and enjoy the moment while you're gambling as this is just a form of an entertaining yourself with money involved.

Little did we know that when we start to gamble, we're going to be on the short end of the deal. I have learned it the hard way. Became addicted, lost a lot, that's why lately, I just play and have fun and entertain myself. I'm no longer have the adrenaline rush to wager big amount of money because I know that chances to win are very slim.

Might as well play some small money, enjoy the time, simply as that.
If you have that control then you will be contented with how things works there's no need to rush things out and desire to win big. Always be reminded that this activities is really addicted and if you failed to control your emotions then you will ends up losing. Worse, you'll ends up addicted and lose everything inside your savings.
