I think that people learn patience and common sense in gambling in very different ways. And they also learn to find a balance between their emotions and the state of euphoria and the logic of actions in a gambling game. If a person who has become a player quickly learns to find such a balance in his psychological state, then this will further ensure that he will play and learn the maximum pleasure from the game.
If the process of finding balance takes a long time, then such a player may indeed become completely disillusioned with gambling and may either stop playing, or, alternatively, become a gambling addict who must be forcibly excommnunicated from gambling.

I think you are right, completely agree with, like we have discussed in another thread on this board or the gambling discussion board, many who came into gambling didn't do so on their own, majority started gambling because of the kind of money they saw another gambler win, or were told about it, and this made the person to decide to try out gambling since he or she will also like to win such an amount of money too.

And from my own personal experience, newbie gamblers are highly spirited, highly confident in believe that they would win, this pushes most of them to risking far more than they can afford to lose, it's only a matter of time, they will discover that winning in gambling is not as easy as they thought it was, and by this time, they come back to their sense that gambling aside being an activity that requires luck to profit, it also requires patients and open mindedness.

But this is if by this realization, such a person is not addicted yet, for the person who is addicted already, they may never come to this sense until help comes thier way.

Probably new players are not only energetic, but also very gambling. They probably have much more adrenaline in their blood from the game than an experienced player. This is due to the fact that an inexperienced novice player very often finds himself in a gaming situation that he has never seen before in his life. And this naturally constantly forces his brain to actively decide what to do next. And all this in a state of euphoria. And of course, such a player often makes mistakes, which also adds to his worries.
And you are probably right that a lot of novice players think that they can make money by gambling and, in general, do not put in much effort. But gradually, of course, they become convinced that this is not at all the case.

Without a doubt, gambling does provide a unique opportunity for people to foster patience and a balance between euphoria and reason. Although steep, this learning curve is necessary. By quickly mastering this balance, gamblers learn how to control themselves better, which makes the experience more enjoyable and fulfilling. Ignoring the other side, though, is not an option. This constant search for balance can, in fact, lead to disappointment or, even worse, addiction. When walking on a wire, mistakes can have very bad results. Although the path to developing self-control in gaming is dangerous, it is also the place where the most important lessons are learned

And in this sense, gambling can probably even be compared to some extent with a very strict and unforgiving teacher.
And by the way, many of us probably remember our teachers who were really strict, but also fair. I even think that any person, becoming an adult, often remembers just such teachers who really taught him something useful in life and taught him well becaase of rigor and fairness.
I think that gambling can be considered a strict and fair teacher in a broad philosophical sense.
