- Mental discipline: Such as analytical thinking, emotional control, decision made under pressure and even training programs since professional gamblers spend time to refine their skills by constant practices and experience just as athletes
I don’t know why we have to discuss professional gamblers in this topic. If they indeed practice to hone their gameplay strategies like chess athletes, do most gamblers nowadays also do the same? I think gamblers hone their skills from direct gambling experience. Not many would think too seriously about studying it, except for those who really want to dedicate gambling as an income.
Ultimately, it's just an illusion, because they believe that luck can be derived from other people's mistakes in poker or from luck in slots.
I don't understand why they take this so seriously, when simply gambling responsibly, limiting ourselves from excessive spending, allows us to have fun without worry.
Ethical behavior is formed from mental preparedness and the fortitude to accept defeat.
