I was just thinking about this because gambling is all about taking risks, where nothing is guaranteed and we don’t even know if we’ll win. so in a way, gamblers are natural risk-takers, and when someone starts a business, they also need that mindset which is taking calculated risks, making bold decisions, and having the guts to push through uncertainty.

So I’m curious, do we have any successful business owners here who could say that their experience as a gambler somehow helped them succeed in business?

Every time I see an interview with CEOs and huge entrepreneur that are worth hundreds of millions and billions, they all say that taking risks is one of the most important things. And that this is what they would say to someone starting today. So I have to agree with you here.

But just blindly taking risks isn't enough to be successful. Many people failed to get there because they went all in on a broken company that was doomed from the start. The same can be said about gamblers that just go doubling their stake when they lose, until they go bust.

OP, I don't think business and gambling goes hand in hand. Gambling doesn't give one the business spirit but the truth is that if as a gambler you don't put your gambling urge under control, your business could be heading for a doom because it is believed that gamblers who are addicted could wreck their business as a result of their addiction. There have been lots of cases of businesses shoting down as a result of the owners addiction and carelessness. It is not possible to be an addicted gambler and also run a successful business at the same time.

He said that being a gambler could help you succeed, not an addicted gambler.

Gambling is all about knowing that you are risking your money but you could get paid big. Most people that start today need to gamble and risk their money on a new undertaking. Since it's always risky, many people don't even try and thus they don't get to become a successful businessman.
