Re: Gambling activities as a path to curb irresponsible decision making in adults.

Some people who have problems with making real life decisions as per making a one pick and sticking with it, should try to use more structured methods with gambling as the focus activity, that is considering they love the idea of gambling already, because I believe that it would help replace every emotional reaction with systematic analysis, which is a core definition of disciplined decision-making.
Gambling activities make one to become hardened and swift and when controlled, it calls for more discipline at making real life decisions.
Although, it is a pure game of chance and could lead to addiction quickly, if one happens to control it by defining it in an environment as a high skill, and with high feedback, with controlled risk management activity, I am certain it could work well and be effective to curb irresponsible decision making in a young adult who is going through life confused.
Don't forget that the focus of using gambling activities here mandates that it must be done in an environment with structure and a feedback team or system to take note.
Your opinion is welcomed!

No one can control gambling, unless it's poker or blackjack, because chance plays such a large role. Even in the games I mentioned, chance plays a very large role. The thing is, many poker players admit they're upset when they lose first-place matches simply because their opponent had a lucky day.
Yesterday, I saw a poker match where, after going all-in, the guy I was rooting for had an 89% chance of winning. And you know what? He lost.
In gambling, luck plays a significant role. Even if we lose, perhaps we should consider ourselves unlucky enough to win, rather than being unable to accept the loss, which can only make matters worse.
The match you saw proves that luck does play a significant role in gambling. Even if we have a strong chance of winning, as you mentioned, the situation can turn around, and even those with strong odds can lose.
