Topic: Are you in profit? - page 3. (Read 839 times)

Become successful in gambling? I believe that gambling is all about luck. I have been gambling for more than a year, not even months, and I haven't been the lucky one yet. I used to gamble on Sportybet, where it can at times be even harder to win for me. Because of this, I have stopped thinking about becoming a successful gambler. Since I have know myself, I have never seen someone claim to have achieved success in life through gambling and to have given up gambling. I believe that it is difficult to succeed in gambling, and I have yet to meet someone who can honestly claim to have done so. This implies that the individual will never experience going broke again. Gambling only give a win to some problems for a times, if you are still lucky; recovering past losses are very difficult and will continue to lose if care is not taken.

In fact, apart from bookies or gambling platform owners, we hardly find anyone who can be successful from gambling, let alone online gambling. Logically, if it is true that playing gambling can make someone successful, perhaps everyone will definitely prefer gambling rather than earning an income through hard work. However, sometimes we have seen in the media that there are people who get rich from gambling, but most likely that person has big luck and of course luck will not come forever so if he continues to gamble then slowly he will also experience losing everything.
Gambling is not a place to earn income but only to have fun in your free time.

It’s hard for me to give a Yes/No answer here, because I have been gambling for many years now and didn’t always keep track of my gambling spending. Now looking back across online and physical gambling I would say that I am probably made a loss. I had a terrible night in Las Vegas 5 years ago where I gambled completely drunk and lost more than 1000 USD. Trying to recover such big losses takes a long time and there were other bad nights with losses. Only for the last two years I keep better track of my gambling spending. This year I am definitely up overall with my gambling balance, because I won a decent poker Sit’n’Go tournament.  Accumulating all profits across all different type of casino games and sports betting can be a bit misleading. Also including new bonuses in our calculation can seem than we are more profitable than our strategies actually are. If I had the time, I would like to break down my gambling career across all the different games and see where I lost and won the most money. Unfortunately, I don’t have the data for such a detailed analysis and also it’s a bit time consuming going so far back.

Gambling depends entirely on luck and experience. Because currently I myself have been in the red color for the past few days. I just won a few bets in gambling games and then won't win for a few days. But I faced many losses hoping to hit the jackpot but somehow my forehead was not good. And I can't take a break from praying for the last time just moaning at the loss. So I think with good luck and experience it is possible to win at gambling for some time.

I am currently facing a loss because I paid so many dollars to win the jackpot, but by no means did I have the jackpot on my forehead.

I think all gamblers should remember the saying you said, so as not to gamble excessively which will make them trouble themselves because of the bad effects of gambling.
And it is common to lose more than you earn, most gamblers experience that, the bookies successfully drain the finances of the players who eventually become addicted to playing gambling.

The small winnings that casinos provide are just a withdrawal technique for players so that they continue to gamble without thinking about their losses, and with small wins it makes them more confident to get big wins that will change their lives like people who are successful with gambling. I think gambling involves luck, and people who are successful in gambling can also be those who gamble with limits and wisely but because they are lucky so they get a big jackpot.

Zilch, nada, zero, no profit. 
It is no longer a secret that the most of us are dwelling in losses. Whether we started late or not in gambling, that is for sure that we are all in losses. And to those that admitted that they are in profit, how much losses they have acquired first before they can say that they are in profit? That is a question that plays on my mind or they have already abandoned their record of losses and all they want to acknowledge is their profits. Because with everyone based on what they are saying, it is all about the losses that they have made. And  if it is not just all about boasting, they are doing a great job for retaining their losses and maintaining their profits ratio and winning accuracy but it is a fact that is hard to maintain.

I can say that I was in a profitable situation, but it all happened because I was actively playing when there was a promotion from one of the casinos which at that time was my favorite and after that I decided to reduce my gambling activities because I was busy so it was difficult to have free time to play because I was not typical who gamble in between other activities, and I can say that if I continued to actively gamble with the same portion some time ago, perhaps I would also be in the same situation as you because gambling to make a profit is not an easy thing, and all gamblers certainly know this because gambling is indeed not to make money even though there are those who can do it but there are more who are not able to do it.

I can without a doubt say ==> NO

We know the old saying that says, if you continue gambling, then the house will eventually win..... well, that is applicable to me. I had won a few Jackpots in the past and it had kept me going for a few years, but over time.. I lost more than what I gained. 

We know casinos let's you win small amounts ....just to keep you gambling and there are a small amount of people that are winning those big amounts, but they are scarce.

We feel like that hamster in the wheel.... running but getting nowhere. 

That absolutely true, but most gamblers don't think about it and especially those gamblers who are still relatively new, of course they really trust an influencer that they can always win, even in large amounts.
This kind of thing creates the desire to be able to get the same win or profit, but in reality, when gamblers try to get the same thing, they end up experiencing bad luck with various losses.

But there are still many gamblers who come to look for number of benefits, not just to look for fun and leave when they get it.
Just look at the many cases where gambler tries to recover his losses or really chases his winnings until they spend more money isn't this an attitude of someone who cannot use gambling properly.
It little surprising but there are still so many people doing this kind of thing.

        -  The influencers or streamers who show that they win a lot of money gambling are really just bullshit, but they don't show anything that they actually cashed out of their account from the casino they are promoting. So I agree with what you said.

Also, I think a lot of gamblers today are doing the same thing you are doing when you gamble right now. Because that's what a responsible gambler should do in reality.

Yes, it's not bad, but unfortunately not all gamblers can do this even though they should do it like that, so maybe they won't lose a large amount of money. But before doing things like you said, there must be self-control first so that you can do what you said, because if they pull it and can't control themselves, they can go back to playing again and return to gambling at the same time because high curiosity makes them want to gamble again.

There are those who play using minimal funds but when they play their funds go up because of small wins gradually, a wise person or one who can control himself will withdraw his small winnings no matter how small the winnings he gets, while it is profitable it is better to withdraw it. And I think people who play like this are smart, with frequent play and always get small wins and also always withdraw them. So they are only looking for gambling capital again or for their snacks, so they don't pursue big wins with risks that can result in losing large amounts of money.

I don't even think about counting my profit and loss in gambling; maybe I should start giving it a try since I really don't expect anything big from it and I don't depend on it for survival.

I just don't think it was necessary for me to start thinking about how much I have made from it. Come to think of it, how much do I even spend on gambling on a daily basis? I can count that even without giving it a second thought, because I don't gamble on a regular basis.
 
Those who said they have made it through gambling, which I have seen a few of and have also read about a few of them too, which is their luck.

Everyone has something to focus on, and gambling is not just one of the things I see as a means of earning, so I don't give much attention to whether I make a little profit from it or not, but I will probably give it a few tries and see if it's worth the record and checking.

Would like to say the same thing on which we do only play for fun and even if you do know that you are at loss but well it doesnt matter as long you do play for fun and this is something very usual
that we do have or must have on personal basis  rather than on making yourself that hoping that much on making money with gambling because this is where desperation do comes from
until it would really be making you that getting derailed on what you should gonna supposed to do. Profit is really just that a bonus on the entertainment that you had able to get.
You wont really be able to make yourself experience problems of addiction if you do really just stick into the idea that you should really be just only playing for fun
and not to making it as a source of income on which usually most gamblers are really targeting into.

The current gambling outcome was   NO

But being the experienced gambler,I had huge hope in the gambling site.So the continuous loss was not the permanent loss in the gambling site.If the loss happened in the gambling site,it mean the god tell us to keep some wait for the next game to the gambling sites.The practice should be made by the gambler on the specific game compared to the random betting.The most of the gambler do this blunder by doing the random bet in the gambling sites.So being the gambler,it was essential to build the tactics for the game which you used to play for the many times or to your favourite game.The gambler should not get affected their mindset to the gambling losses,the loss can be recovered in the short period.

In gambling there used to be lucky streaks before but now it seems every body has run out of them,very few times I have seen people hitting max wins lately while before this was a matter of the day,in different slot machines people used to hit the max win if not daily,at a minimum weekly,now this seems to have finished,don't know what the slot providers have done but their RTP is suddenly changing,so there is no more lucky streaks,only constant losing of money and yes profit is a distant thing now that we need a telescope to look at it,that is how far it has gone  .

Predictions in gambling cannot be considered errors. The principle of gambling originally assumes setting probabilities that may go wrong or may be right. Since human thought is capable of anticipating multiple possibilities, gambling platforms bet on the error factor, which is probable and likely.
It is impossible for anyone to be able to predict the correct odds every time, and on this basis, gambling companies are always profitable. If we talk about sports betting, let alone electronic betting that has been programmed in advance.

Context:

NO

I play for fun, and even if I tried to think about impossible things like making a profit with gambling, in practice (playing) I would lose and end up with losses, so it's useless and unproductive and not worth thinking about playing with the intention of having profit in gambling, when a person has this type of thinking, it is difficult for the person to accept defeats and loss of money and always focuses on putting more money into gambling and recovering the money they lost. I say this because I remember that when I started making sports bets I had a lot of illusions, thoughts like: I'm going to deposit

but strangely, when I thought about giving up and not making a bet for a long time, I made my last bets and won and with that I recovered all my money and left with a profit and stopped playing, years later I started playing again and there are times I win and times I lose, but looking at the statistics, I have a lot of losses, as I play just for fun, it doesn't hurt me. I also don't feel sad about my losses, I look at them as part of the game and my fun, I don't play using money that I can't afford to lose, I play in moderation and to keep myself in control I don't play all the time, there are many times when I don't place bets and limit myself to just following the results of the games

I can't really tell how profitable I have been in the past since I usually don't calculate my profit and loss, but based on my eye gauge, I can really tell that I was not making a good thing out of it.
 
But for the past one week now that I have been trying out my luck on ring of fortune, wheel, and classic dice, I have been getting a lot of good returns, which I probably can't call my skill but just luck being on my side. Just yesterday I deposited about $0.98 in my local currency (about #1000), and at the end of the day I went home with approximately $11 if I got the conversion rate correctly. That has been going on since last week in lesser amounts. I don't gamble constantly, but these past few weeks have been blessed for me.

Are you in profit?

In this context what we are discussing is gambling. First, it is important to clarify what gambling you mean. I mean specifically, because there are many types of gambling bets. The point is that we can't possibly play all gambling games, in fact there will always be types of gambling games that we don't like or don't even understand. second, what type of gambling do you mean. because it is unlikely that someone will understand, even master all types of gambling, especially those related to several factors involving insight, knowledge, science, and the like which many people call expertise or skills.

Now we discuss profits, as is the theme of the title of this thread. Of course yes, and that applies to all gamblers. However, the problem depends on each gambler himself. Let me take an example, if you count from the first time you gambled until now. and you have experienced many defeats, losses and so on. Then, suddenly you are lucky to get half of the money you have lost because you lost. Would you still say it's still a loss, or...
and this is where most gamblers have different understandings. If so, it means you are chasing profits in the gambling you do. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just important for you to be aware of the consequences and risks of the consequences it causes. what is certain, you can win and become rich. or vice versa, you lose everything. There are many examples, in fact we often discuss them either from the side that lost a lot of money or from the side that gained wealth from gambling.

Now it's my turn, to be honest I never calculate the percentage of either wins or losses. the point is, I know that gambling contains risks. especially when it comes to pure games of luck. luckily I tend to like sports even though I don't always bet on them, there are times when I need other entertainment, namely slot games. But in sports, I can manage the bets I make.
Don't be greedy, to get 3 winning matches in a single bet, that's quite profitable. after all, we benefit from the many matches presented every week, take your time if you want to get the results you want and choose 1/2 of the many matches presented. provided that it has gone through a research and analysis process.

Well, now, the point is up to you, what you will do with your gambling.

It's been statistically proven that the amount of money that is spent daily in gambling is more than two times higher with the amount of money that gambling companies lose to winners but most gamblers doesn't know about this.
A lot of gamblers are absolutely ignorant of this and that's why they'll always want to win even when it's very difficult for them to win more than they lose in gambling. Gambling isn't a game that anyone can dictate the outcome but whatever happens, a gambler should know that it's either they lose or they win whenever they're gambling.
