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?
I am not a businessman, but I don't think the risk in gambling and business are the same. Some people might argue that it's all about taking risk, yes that's true but a gambler risk taking is different from that of a businessman, because for you to venture into a business; you already have a vision and plans set aside for the growth of your business. A businessman just don't take risk, but calculated risk, why some gambler's just take risk without even being calculative, although some gamblers take calculated risk but it's still not the same as that of a businessman.
A businessman has a drive and works towards what he or she aims to achieve and they tend to be very calculative before taking any risk.
