Lucky in gambling, not in business.

[UNIVERSE]

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?

Sometimes luck in gambling really matters. Because after all, many things can happen that are beyond our expectations. Even if it's slots or something else, this will definitely have something to do with luck. Except if it is a skilled gambling activity that is based on observation and analysis of success. But that also wouldn't be completely appropriate. Just like when we bet on a football club that wins, sometimes the club we are leading will lose unexpectedly. Why? because there are many influencing factors.

And not only that, when it comes to slots, I heard that it can be manipulated well by the developer or owner of the slot. I don't know if this is true or not, but it could be. And if we win slots, it could be that we are really lucky given by the dealer. I don't know, there is nothing certain about gambling.

I do not believe in things that would not be backed by data. Not that this wouldn't be something we can't back with data, but we just don't have it. What we simply need to do, would be check the finances of everyone who gambles, you do not have to go around the whole world and find everyone, go find a big place like Stake for example, and check their users, even that alone would give you the results. All the stake users should provide their info, how much they won/lost at gambling and how much they won/lost if they own a business. If this data is provided, then I will believe this, which we all know that data won't be provided, but in every case, without any data, this is just made up thing and I won't believe it.

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 can't help but Lol, gambling is a gambling of luck while being able to manage a start-up to a successful business is skill that so many people don't have. Although, I would want to believe that the idea of your friend is true but at same time I don't want to believe it because it have not even been proven.  I have a few friends who won heavily in gambling but am actually doing well in my business, my friends don't have any business, they only have a small employment job that they are managing, while I have my business and I am an employee in a fin-tech company that is into financial services. Since I started gambling, I have not made any huge more than my friends, I just see it as circumstances.

I disagree with this. Luck can fall on anybody whether you are business-inclined or not. That is why it is called luck. Being successful in business has nothing to do with business management skills. There are cases of businessmen who were lucky to win the jackpot. Gerald Muswagon and Brad Duke are examples.

Gerald Muswagon was a Canadian businessman who won a $10 million jackpot in 1998. Brad Juke is a businessman from the United States who won a 220 million dollar jackpot in 2005. In Nigeria, Twitter influencers and businessmen like Mr Bankz, Mr Bayo, Mayor of Ekiti, and even a business masquerades like E-money and Kcee are still gambling and winning.

The above exceptions made it clear that there is no correlation between being successful in gambling and one`s ability to manage a business.

While reading this post, I'm asking myself. Am I lucky at gambling? Am I l good in business?
Well, it turns out, I'm not good at both gambling, and business. 

For you, it might be the case, but it wasn't for others including me. There are some who are lucky or good in either gambling, or business. There are some who might be good at both gambling and business, and there are ones like who aren't good at both. Kind of unfortunate that I'm included in the "not good", but... that's life.

I don't see any correlations between the 2 TBH. Gambling purely relies on luck, while business purely rely on knowledge. You can gamble without any knowledge on the game you're playing, and you can win. In business, luck itself will not work if you don't have any knowledge on it. Anyway, it might be the case for you OP, and congratulations I guess for you being successful in your businesses.

Maybe true, maybe not but one thing is for sure for me, never gamble too much if you are into a business because there is a high chance that you will fail in your business venture. Seldom I see businessmen gamble so that only means that gambling is not for businessmen.

Well there also sayings in our country that if you are not lucky in gambling, then you might be lucky in love, hehehe.

But we all know that in gambling is based on pure luck, except for few games that we need skills but how many of us are playing that game. Business acumen is different though, maybe small percentage could be viewed as luck, like establishing your business at the right place and right time and other factor. However, you still need to have a plan in you have business, lots of parameters involved to be successful and not just luck.

You need a feasibility study to know all that and not luck. Luck has nothing to do with business. You need to learn and apply certain principles and ethics to excel in business but it is not so in gambling.

In gambling, no matter the research carried out on a particular game, winning is still not guaranteed because most times there are factors that affect the outcome of a game like in sports betting that may not be foreseen. So, there is luck in gambling but it is not so in business.

Business and gambling are both types, but there are risks involved in each. If one invests in the business without identifying the principles and risks of the business then he may face loss in the business in this case luck may or may not favor him but the risk is 100% sure. On the other hand in gambling risk is 100% sure but winning or losing in gambling bet depends only on luck. If luck favors it is definitely possible to win a bet or if luck does not favor it is never possible to win a bet.

Well to be honest it had never came up into my mind about this belief but it also took me a minute to think for possibilities while I am reading this thread post. But based on my experiences it won't work as I don't have successful businesses on me and neither I got lucky on gambling especially bigger prices or jackpots. For for the people I know they have it all that is why sometimes I can say that life is unfair. 😅 And I know some of us have the same feeling as well.

There is no connection between business and gambling, you know 99% of slots are luck but for example if you choose sports betting then you can say that you need skills in analysis before bets are made, so there is no connection between gambling and the business you are promoting.

Business - This is a skill that is needed to run a business so you can succeed and I think many people succeed here so we believe.

Gambling - This is absolute luck here there is no skill let alone playing slots so don't connect between the two.

There's no correlation between gambling and business success. Gambling is a luck base and some are skills and knowledge, this is about sports bet, but in business, it's all about knowledge, decision-making, experience, connections, communication, discipline, dedication, etc.

Do you know business people do gamble too, even casino owners gamble? And it doesn't mean that a business person will not win in any gamble. Plus, there's no study or statistic stating that comparison is true.

There are no businessmen or entrepreneurs around me who gamble, perhaps these entrepreneurs already know what the risks of loss and profit from gambling are like.
In fact, those around me who gamble are mostly workers, those are my friends at my real job. Remember, they are workers just like me, not entrepreneurs and they are gambling.
But I also don't know whether they experienced luck in gambling and winning or whether the results were bad. But I noticed that my work friends seemed to keep losing because they rarely talked about winning at gambling.

I noticed that luck in gambling is very big, many people suddenly become rich due to online gambling.
For example, a gambler who just deposited 14 USD but he made a profit of up to 1400 USD overnight, this seems strange but surely among the gamblers there are friends who are like this.

I don't gamble and don't want to gamble because I have seen from my boss who has gambled and lost a lot funds.
As it is a specter of fear for me if I see someone gambling and being Lucky in gambling, I put it aside because I am afraid of the losses caused by gambling.

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 have never indulged myself in gambling much in my life. However, I have gambled several times due to greed. Gambling makes me feel miserable. Earlier when I started gambling on a site with 10 dollars and after making some profit, I hoped to double the profit. But instead my wallet got empty. After that I didn't dare to gamble anymore. Also lotteries on various occasions, I have never gotten anything but disappointment from them. Instead I prefer to invest.
