Gambling activities as a path to curb irresponsible decision making in adults.

[Jaycoinz]

You don't need to be a gambler to start making responsible decisions. as an adult you should be able to make decisions that are reasonable and beneficial to you, it doesn't matter if you are a gambler or not  it you are not mature you are going to make stupid decisions. I don't think gambling has anything to do with this although you can learn some lessons from gambling responsibly

That is very true. It is your prerogative as an individual to be responsible or not, not only with gambling but in your life, in general. As the outcome will depend on your choices, it is a must that you assess every decision you make and not just because someone else ask you to do so. It is understandable if in some cases you will be out of your normal way, but you need to re-assess your situation and see where you will put yourself into. Because if you won't and just go with the flow, it would be easy for you to go deep and dig yourself into trouble. Hence, there should be lifestyle check every once in a while.

This idea only sounds interesting in theory but not suitable in practice for anyone who already has a problem of irresponsible decision making. Using gambling as a tool for this purpose is very risky, infact, this tool may backfire and create negative impacts on the gamblers instead of helping with the problem it was meant to solve.

This is because,  gambling on it's own comes with a reward for those who would be lucky to win. This reward system pushes gamblers to put in more efforts. In that process, they make impulsive decisions, become addicted and get greedy. In addition, gambling can also be a fun activity which will keep the gambler glued to it. It is not wise trying to solve a particular problem using another problem as the solution. In the end, you will successfully be creating a fresh problem for yourself.

In everything we do, there are positive implications as well as the negative aspects from them, but as we may wanted it to be for us, everyone will want to have something good and also reflect a positive influence on them, that is why it is expected that we are a gambler is not a reason to be a miserable type.

Yes, gambling does not make you responsible, it takes the disciplined thinking of an adult to be responsible. An adult gambler starts betting repeatedly on impulse or greed, so instead of being responsible, he gets more excited and loses control over himself and continues to gamble, losing all his money. Gambling can never truly make you responsible, I think gambling with this mindset is risky.

The idea is not easy to accomplish especially with gambling, good decision making to stay responsible should not be done base on gambling or other related games. A good plan must not involve gambling basically gambling is a game base on luck and before winning you don’t need to stress much needing a strategic method obviously many still fail with a strategic pattern. Gambling has thought many who are ready to learn from previous mistakes never to gamble carelessly but, not in relate to decision making, life lesson are practical experience aside bet you need to learn other responsible ideas not always gambling.

We should also be taught to make prudent judgement when we are faced with a scenario that demands a big decision and the urge to make an impulsive decision should be halted. Gambling which is based on chance gives no formidable basis in the direction of our subsequent action. Rather we need to look at facts, experience and thoughtfulness to ensure that we do not make judgments based on mere chance but based on gaining more insight.

Do you mean that gambling helps a gambler become responsible in making decisions, OP? Nah, that is not really what I see. Instead, this makes them emotional (mostly) and irresponsible. There is a big influence on gambling, and when emotions are out of control (which happens to most), it changes their behavior.

If we want to become responsible people as adults, we won't use gambling as a tool. Or if you say it works for you, don't assume it works for everyone, because that is what I see. In fact, I have a close friend of mine who was a gambler, and gambling changed him badly.

What I know about this is that, excessive gambling can cause an adult to not make a good decision in real life, I can't tell if been a gambler will trigger the good decision hormones in a man, but that's not true. It's more scary to be a hardcore gambler and be thinking smartly with a good mental health, no, that won't be possible.

A gambling free adult is a good mental health personality who thinks clearly and make a decent decision for himself and family. Gambling can't make you be good in decision making at all.

[Chibit01]

…This might be correct since gambling decisions are mostly made within a short period. I also think that relating gambling decisions to other life situations has its disadvantages. Sometimes we make gambling picks depending mainly on luck. If decisions are made like that in other endeavours, the results may turn out unpleasant. It is better to make decisions slowly than to make wrong ones hastily.

That might be correct but I don’t see gambling helping someone in terms of decision making just like I don’t like when someone compare a gambler that like to stake on risky games to be a real life risk taker, some could be very fearful when it comes to their money while others do that when it comes to their life, anyone who is don’t always find it easy to make decision in real life event gambling won’t help them either.

Good point, not alone in gambling but also in other way around, it's more on how you handle situations and how you perceptions your decision making, though in gambling, it will test your own will on being responsible and it will affect your financial and mental aspects so it's very important to have that good and responsible decision making at time.

Gambling activities make one to become hardened and swift and when controlled, it calls for more discipline at making real life decisions.
Although, it is a pure game of chance and could lead to addiction quickly, if one happens to control it by defining it in an environment as a high skill, and with high feedback, with controlled risk management activity, I am certain it could work well and be effective to curb irresponsible decision making in a young adult who is going through life confused.

I don't know for other people boy making important choices isn't close to my views about gambling, I do not care what it look like but then I know gambling by definition using the money you can afford to bet on events but decision making about something that can even be what will affect you forever and it's not something you may want to use to affect you, you can quickly gamble $100 and not think about it but you can't pick about who you are getting married to and think you can do it simple, they are different.

The only time I think I might gamble little is when I run out of small options and I be like f**k it, whatever happen should happen but in my mind, I'm only doing it because I know the risk is not that high compared to when I know that "this decision I want to take is going to affect my life a while lot and I gotta to be very careful with how I made the decision."

[TelolettOm]

I'm not sure about this; it could happen, but I'm not sure many cases are solved by gambling.

Even someone who is usually very responsible towards themselves, their family, and their job can become irresponsible when they become addicted to gambling, becoming an irresponsible gambler. Especially if the person is usually irresponsible, this will worsen the situation.

But if someone manages to become more responsible through gambling, that's a good thing. But so far, this hasn't happened much; more people become irresponsible when gambling.

That's what people don't know, what makes someone responsible is based on who you are, someone who is not responsible can't be responsible,from my understanding, it's clear that gambling doesn't make someone irresponsible, responsible person will ought to be responsible both physically and appearance, but sometimes we that is into this platform will continue to think that gambling is a part of the things that made people irresponsible, nobody is above learning, someone can amend his way for the environment he or her found themselves, so we need to understand it, one thing makes some of us to look irresponsible why gambling, is because of lack strategies in gambling

[EluguHcman]

I am having this wave in my head that a similar discussion had taken place here and majorities were on the conclusion that gambling should not be what would shape your personal life and while we are talking about gambling as a game of influence, it is advisable that whoever tending to gamble should had worked on your disciplines before gambling.

For gambling to aid to your discipline life, then you must have gone through it difficulties and then you learns from it experiences but it is not supposed to be so because given it such chances may lead to addiction and you will be struggling for your way out.
Would you afford to have this experience before you can structure your disciplinary life? Of course it could be dangerous.

[tread93]

Some people who have problems with making real life decisions as per making a one pick and sticking with it, should try to use more structured methods with gambling as the focus activity, that is considering they love the idea of gambling already, because I believe that it would help replace every emotional reaction with systematic analysis, which is a core definition of disciplined decision-making.

No, im sorry but teaching gambling to children doesn't seem like the greatest idea at all and you wouldn't be doing them any favors down the road. How about just play monopoly? You get all the same principals with some real life scenarios without all the lights and glam bullshit. For a kid a casino might look like a pretty interesting and flashy place where they are star struck and that's not the type of environment any kid should get comfortable in at a young age. If anything maybe bring them there as aoon as rhey turn 16-18 and give them a basic run down on gambling fully explaining every scenario that could happen and teaching the psychological perspective of what can happen in certain outcomes like id they win big or lose big etc. There should be some sort of gambling education course or something for this exact purpose and mainly teaching the risks of gambling

So... I agree that gambling is a good way to measure how responsible a people is with your money, but I disagree that it is "a cure" to someone who has difficulty to make responsible decisions... I think if a person already has an impulsive tendency to make bad decision... if they start gambling, it will only worse your situation.

Honestly, I think that someone who already has these kind of problems will always have higher levels of impulsive decisions, difficulty to evaluate long term consequences and underestimating risks... they are do very bad decisions even when they receive clear feedback about losses and gains, that is... they have a distorted understanding of what is right and wrong, and for someone like that, only professional help can improve their situation, and that involves staying away from gambling.

[danadc]

Though, if luck permits and you are good in timing, you can cashout while you still in green and enjoy the profits that you carry after stopping.

That should always be done, but it's very difficult to achieve because when we focus too much on playing, we get excited and don't play with reason but with feelings. I've felt like I could keep playing and win, but that's what my adrenaline does. Reason and the right thing to do is to stop so I don't lose more money, because if I continue, what I would do is lose money.

The dismay creeps in some hours after the game when the player goes to his/her feelings to consider how they felt while gambling. If what the player felt led them to make multiple mistakes the feeling would be sad afterwards and when proven other wise, in a scenerio where the gamers focus on doing the right thing, they'll feel just ok and would work hard on retaining a sweet memory of their gambling experience. This reactions do reccur and in all its greatness stays to apprehend players based on how they feel about their gaming decisions.

Yes, I agree with you on this point. Gambling can be a good way to gauge someone's financial responsibility, but it can't be a "cure" for someone who struggles to make responsible decisions. Quite the opposite, in fact.

If a gambler isn't already responsible and doesn't know when to play and when to stop, gambling will only worsen their situation and lead them to make more irresponsible mistakes.
