That's right, I was confused before about what this discussion is about, which makes it have many perspectives that are very biased with the meaning of success itself, if you think that gambling behavior and success cannot get a correlation that makes sense in the context of business, the question is quite ambiguous.
I really question too that success in this case, because I also have never found anyone who is successful from gambling, even though he can get big wins for example, but he will play it back to gambling, with the meaning of his success to earn income from gambling inconsistent Meanwhile, if we compare it to other professions, even though it is quite difficult, such as traders, they can consistently make profits and we can see that their financial stability is going well.
Well that's right, the word success in gambling I think is nonsense. The principle in gambling is to prioritize luck and how can someone who gets lucky in gambling be said to be a successful person. Someone who manages to win at gambling means that luck is on their side and it is only temporary. My question is, is there a gambler who supports his family from his success in gambling, of course not. Because gambling is an action that is done for entertainment only and as a prize if they are lucky then they will get a win. Well, on the other hand, maybe some of them think that when they succeed in achieving something in gambling, such as winning, it is a success. But basically, we still can't categorize a win as success, because this is a gamble, as you said, there is no consistent word in it, and that means that all wins in gambling are just luck.
Yes, maybe you can mean that success is when he really gets a big win, that can be assumed in the context of gambling, but maybe success in this context cannot be compared to success in the economic world in general.
I don't know if this feels ambiguous and we don't know where the context that the OP is actually pointing is going.
I think it depends on how you look at it or interpret the word addict because it's almost undeniable that there are even some positive things even after labeled as an addict. But in most situations, addicts are synonymous with crackheads or someone who does things excessively because they already lost total control over themselves, cannot think clearly and the ability to weigh things correctly as well is already lost.
Addiction is a terrible thing, and we should avoid it by all means. Addicts are willing to go to any length to gamble on games, even if it means selling their valuables in order to obtain money to place wagers. Furthermore, an addicted gambler will not be profitable since he has no objectives, no risk management, and zero principles, only wagering without an alternative strategy. Although they are financial gamblers, successful gamblers cannot be regarded as addicted. They forecast games and provide profitable outcomes. It is imperative that we understand how to categorize these sets.
But saying that what is a "successful gambler" we really don't understand it properly, and this widens without direction, whether it's an addict or not, but related to gambling, it will be very difficult for us to categorize what a successful gambler looks like, anyway in terms of success as conveyed by Joddy, there are many offenses about this, even people who are said to be legendary gamblers in terms of predicting their accuracy are still in doubt.
