Lucky in gambling, not in business.

[DabsPoorVersion]

Yesterday, I was with a friend, and we discussed gambling. During our conversation, we both decided to open an online casino to play some slots. However, we chose different titles of slot games to play. We both deposited an initial amount of $10 each to start gambling. As we focused on our devices, we tried our best to win our respective games. After some time, my friend informed me that he had already multiplied his money and cashed it out. On the other hand, I lost the money I had initially deposited into my account.

Later on, we stopped playing and sat down to chat while enjoying a beer. During our conversation, my friend mentioned his belief that some people are inherently lucky, while others are not. He then brought up the idea that if you are successful in gambling, it could mean that you are not skilled or fortunate enough to handle a business. Alternatively, if you excel in business, it may suggest that you are not lucky enough to win at gambling.

I paused for a moment and contemplated the possibility that it might be true. I have always regarded myself as an unlucky gambler, yet I have consistently achieved great results whenever I have ventured into small business.

How about you, do you also have this kind of belief, or do you believe this belief is true or not?

Although gaining success in a business depends on your skill and how you handle it, but it does not affect your luck in gambling. Successful gambler could become a very successful business owner and the opposite could happen as well. Also gambling is for entertainment purposes only. You willingly spend money in gambling in order to enjoy it and not to make money out of it. You cannot take gambling as your only way of making money.

Business on the other hand is done in order to accumulate profit. Luck also place a great roll in business as well but with skills and knowledge you can overcome that and become successful. So I am not sure how true your opinion is.

     -   I also thought about what your friend said. It also occurred to me that there are people who are destined to win millions in gambling, and there are also most gamblers who are destined to always lose in gambling, so no matter what they do, they will not experience winning the jackpot prize itself.

And I just thought that I was one of those gamblers who was not destined to win a lot of money gambling. That's why I just thought it was just a hobby and no other reason.

I don't buy that stuff, there's no relationship between the two, and there's no such thing as bad in business, you could lose in the business venture for lack of feasibility study or knowledge about the market you're tapping, in business you should have passion on it if it's not for you, then it's not for you because you lack the passion and knowledge and on gambling, you could not be lucky all the time for you to say that setting up in business because your luck is on gambling, these are just pure coincidence.

[bhadz]

That is just a coincidence ans we believe that someone whos not lucky in gambling could be luck on the other things. Maybe in business, love, family and any others. This has been like a belief that if you ever have been unfortunate with your life then on the next chapter of it you might be luckier. Next chapter in a sense that you will do something else and do another thing.

I don't really agree with the statement that says that "if you are successful in gambling, it could mean that you are not skilled or fortunate enough to handle a business. ... if you excel in business, it may suggest that you are not lucky enough to win at gambling" because whether a gambler is lucky or not doesn't depend on whether he can do business or not, it's just a matter of luck, for example in Macau there are many business people who gamble and on average they can make thousands of dollars in one gamble session. So your luck in gambling has nothing to do with whether you are a businessman or not.

I also don't believe it, to be honest. I must say, this is also the first time I have come across this belief, even though we have known each other for many years, he only said it that time. It has made me ponder deeply because I'm not the kind of person who has many beliefs, especially when it comes to gambling. I believe that the outcome of any game is based on a combination of luck and my decision-making skills, which is particularly relevant to me as I play card games the most.

I believe all humans have their own race and calling as well. Same it is to their talents. Every human have their own race to run. Like I always tell my friends, what works for Mr. A might not work for Mr. B vice versa as the case may be. That is why you see sometimes motivational speakers would be saying that it is good one discovers their purpose and calling so that they do not make wrong moves in life.

As your friend have said, I do not doubt it. Possibly his friend is lucky in gambling while he is not and as long as he has heard it from his friend it is already registered in his mind. He should focus on his business as he said it clear and see gambling as fun to do otherwise he would he might just keep gambling with the mindset of winning and it would keep going on and on like that.

[Rubel007]

Gambling has a great resemblance to luck. Those who believe in gambling must also believe in luck. And those who don't believe in luck will not get the expected results even if they gamble. A gambler can never guarantee that he will win if he is very good at gambling. Wins and losses can happen at any time so luck is an important factor. I believe in it sometimes.

Everyone knows that not everyone can win at gambling. We may not win most but we will win some which we can never deny. Those who win will definitely own a huge amount of money from the gambling platform but not everyone is so lucky. I believe that some people get wins that they never imagined. No one knows when fate will favour. I have never met a gambler who does not care about luck in gambling. I believe many have changed their fortunes through gambling but luck was on their side in that case. To Gamble no deny luck.

If OP feels unlucky or uncomfortable with gambling then it is best not to continue gambling because it will drain you mentally and emotionally.
Also, if I do an activity that doesn't make me comfortable, I usually immediately leave it and I don't repeat it.

Moreover, what I notice about gambling every day is that it has more negative effects than positive ones.
Believe it or not, I don't do gambling, lottery, dice or any games that use money like cards. Just giving advice to the OP because I don't really understand gambling, but "Luck" definitely exists and comes to everyone.

My question is what is the connection between gambling and business that makes your friend say that? In my opinion the two are not related at all, especially when discussing success or not.

In my opinion, this type of thinking should be eliminated, because maybe it will affect us in the future. For example, several times we started a business, but failed. Can we conclude that we will be successful in gambling?
and vice versa, if we are successful in gambling then we will think that we will not be successful in business?

If we think like that, then I think it is very dangerous.

[Zed0X]

The conclusion your friend came up with is not entirely baseless. In gambling or business, there's always an element of luck there.
For games like slots, it's 99% (if not 100%) based on luck while the rest (if any) is on skills.
For business, it's mostly skills and sweat with a stroke of luck.

When you are gambling, you need to learn to listen to your inner voice. You need to bet exactly when your inner voice tells you to. Then the probability of success will be higher. If you do not have inner confidence, it is better, as they say, to miss your move

Is this the right way in gambling? How do you know if it is your inner voice?
I don't really understand about this since I am a realistic gambler. Although I know gambling is mostly about luck but I am not really sure to use this way. Honestly, I'm not really confident to use the way for hearing the inner voice. Is there a reference to claim the inner voice is the effective way in gambling?

maybe its true. i wonder where i'm lucky at.  i'm not lucky in business nor in gambling. i guess i'm just lucky becoming an employee 
there are just people who have skills designed to be an employee and there are people with skills who also are good in managerial but are not really skillful in managing their own business.

i have a friend who inherited his father's AirBNB business. he struggles to keep it up, i volunteer to be one of his room attendant because no one survives his managerial. all his employees just quit. its a good thing he pays per room but his roosters win most of the time. he like cockfighting.
