How to Find a Gambling Mentor Like Yoda
How to find a gambling mentor like Yoda. Gambling is similar to Star Wars. People in all walks of life use mentors to take them from ordinary to exceptional. You don't have to have a mentor to become great at something, but it will cut the learning curve.
How to find a gambling mentor? Find one who is passionate about the subject you are interested in. Find a mentor that is an expert in your desired field of play. If you want to become a professional blackjack player, you need to focus on that specific area. If you're interested with sports betting, poker, black jack, DFS, or the newcomer esports, then you will need a Yoda. For example, when Henry was young, his mother was best friends with the wife of the stable manager at a major racetrack. He took Henry under his wing and they became good friends.
Gambling Yodas are hard to find. You can meet people organically through your interactions while gambling. One of the most successful sports bettors I know is a fellow I met in a sportsbook after giving him a light-hearted verbal jab for wearing an Astros jersey. He has taught me more about sports betting and finding value where others miss it.
I was listening for knowledge and it showed. Look for a mentor that likes to ask you questions. Do what is asked of you. If your mentor asks you to break down a day’s games, you should jump at the chance.
Luke became a Jedi only with the guidance of Master Yoda. It's not uncommon for mentorship relationships to bloom into partnership. Having two parties looking at all angles is better than one. For gamblers, striking up a friendship is the next goal. For others, finding a coach is a good step. They can be a tremendous step for gambers who haven't lucked finding their Yodas.
Poker coaches are mainly used by poker players. They are not interested in money, but they do benefit from the relationship. There are many expert-level pokerplayers available. For some people, finding a poker coach is difficult. For others, it's not necessary. It's a matter of personal preference. You can find a coach for you. If you win a lot of money it might be useful to offer to pay the mentor.
Some of the people looking to mentor you may have their own motives. Always be cautious of bad gambling advice when dealing with finances and "friends".
The most effective step in finding your gambling mentor is to make some connections. These relationships might grow into some of the strongest bonds in the gambling community.
