There are not many benefits from gambling that I know of, other than passing time and seeing it as a form of occasional entertainment.
I really don't understand what is the benefit someone from gambling. Specially if you have been in the gambling world for so long. You may have experiences losses but you still don't stop from playing. I guess is just passing time or sort of entertainment. But if you are losing money so it doesn't give you that much benefit isn't it?
I also used to gamble and based on experience i agree with the benefits that you gained on gambling. However for me, mentally i had been able to improve my analytical skills since card games which i used to play requires analytical skills and the longer i played the better i become. Emotionally i think it help me improve my emotions on winning and lossing. In addition to this i think gambling somehow helped me make some money since i was able to buy some useful things at home whenever i won something big. But to top it all i thinks it really developed my personality now. How i see life today and how i control my life now is based on all the experiencea i had in gambling
LOL mate. There are other forms that will enhance your analytical ability. Yeah, if you make some money that is good, but what if in the long run you almost got bankrupt or your bankroll swept? You going to lend money to continue and try to recover or just completely quit gambling? (which is hard).
