Topic: Are you in profit? - page 5. (Read 1008 times)

Sorry to ask, have you been gambling for long or you just started online gambling recently? Do you play casino crypto games or you are strictly sportsbook man. The reason why I'm asking this is to give you the best answer to your problem and reason why you are losing since 8 months ago.

Just day before yesterday, I staked some amount and picked some basketball games, it was 6.25 odd and I lost 2 ticket, I did stake 3 actually. The ones I lost had more amount staked than the amount I lose but the smaller odd of 6.25 were actually randomly selected from the two long odd which I believe will come home and it did. Since then, I haven't played any again and the amount I made from that game help recover all my loss for this month of November.

What am I say, if you are gambling, stick to one of them and continue to improve your skills in them, with time you will master your way to win them. If you are a casino guy, learn first before you start playing and if you are sport guy, more experience will make you stand firm and don't forget to follow around some of this bets guys, they have experience in this and will tell you some of the mistakes they made in past which you should avoid.

You don't ever do sports betting or gambling in general as a side gig, I've learned it the hard way  . This is also the reason I've barely do sports betting as I know I'll be on the same place like my other friends where most of their profits are already gone. But, still with my continuous dice and casino games bets, I'm still on a red in overall of my gambling activity.

It's really fun and exciting especially when it's almost as tie match or your team is on the advantageous side but kinda depressing when it's almost a guaranteed lose.

This is very notable and important point that every gambler should have in mind at all time. Leaving with your winnings while you have them has always been a very tough decision to make in every gambler's life. You notice you've just made a x3 to x4 on your bank role which is a big win, enough for you to leave and celebrate your successful day of a good win but greed gets in and you want to make more profits lol and before you know, you're left with nothing but regrets. Another thing is knowing when to call it a quit. Some people never know when to call it a quit, not until they have nothing more to loose, a gambler should learn to set a limit for himself, and once you've reached that limit, walk away and don't go further because that's the point where you want to just recover your loses, the gain won't be your problem at that point, you just wanna take back your money and then you find yourself loosing more and more and more. Learn to set a limit and stick to that limit.

Am I in profit?  From sports betting?  Yup, of course I'm not!  Lolol.  But I had that one year of having a good run at betting the EPL.  It was during 2017...  I thought I could do it as a side gig for extra cash but then the next couple of years I proceeded in giving back the books the money that I've won.    So no.  Don't try to make sports betting as a form of 'work' kids.

It's fun tho cos it makes watching the matches more exciting.

First of... Gambling isn't a business you just go into with a 100% hopes of making profits, if that's how you see gambling then ylget ready to quite gambling sooner than you can imagine, because just like now, you might find out that you've really not been in luck and aren't making any profits yet, and when you see yourself like not making as much profit as youce anticipated after you've done your evaluations then the next thought would be to quit.

Gambling is a 50/50 thing, you get it or you don't, it's a two way thing, and one thing you must have in mind before entering into the gambling business, it's the fact that gambling was created and programmed to always be in favour of the casino majority of the time so if you feel like you're not winning most of the time then relax because that's how it's supposed to be. Sometimes you win, most times you loose, that's gambling for you bro. Then again, in all my years of gambling I've not heard there's a particular technique gamblers us in order to maintain a constant win, there are no hacks, just 100% luck, although in some cases you may be availed with materials and analytical tools that may aid you in coming up with a decision but it's still not certain the result would turn out positive.

Yeah there are people who became rich through gambling but it's still pure luck and majority are high riskers. Whether you're making profits or not isn't a big deal in gambling, you can either decide to quite or keep trying until the day it eventually favours you

This is the opposite for me and that is not only online, but also in real life that people brag about their winnings while never mentioning their losses. I am really puzzled now that this is different for you guys? How is that possible because everyone I know would agree that most people hide their losses or make them smaller as they are, but when they win big there is this one huge story to be told and how this 20 multi-way bet was successful and bla bla.

You're right. People tend to shout about their losses way more than their jackpots.  I bet it's 'cause there's tons more bum luck gamblers than high rollers.  Could be some sore losers even say bogus stuff like the games are fixed and  maybe they wanna trash the casinos rep, or even shake 'em down for money back after bad beats.

It would be good if the OP (since he created the topic and is interested in this question) counted the number of answers and compiled statistics.
By the way, if we take into account not only the financial side, but also the pleasure that we get from gambling, the number of players who are in the black would be much greater than in the case when we take into account only finances. In my opinion, this is logical, because we don’t complain about cinemas because we spend money on tickets, but for some reason we complain about casinos 

At the starting of cricket world cup season. I deposited 5$ in ball6 betting platform. Today is the ending of the cricket world cup season. This season I totally earn around 30$. My mainly intention was if I loss the 5$ amount then I will not deposit again. I play safely in this season I know the amount is to low but this is a part of gambling and I am in profit. I do every tile like this that's the reason when I faces losses that is not that much big amount.

If you see a streamer or influencer always winning and being successful, you are trapped in their marketing. Isn't it often discussed in this forum that streamers and influencers collaborate with casinos so that what you only see are their wins and success stories, I personally never think about winning when gambling, let alone think about how to make a profit, let alone recover the money you have lost.

I understand the risk of gambling, namely losing a lot of money, so I will not think that I am wasting money by gambling, I always think that I am playing a fun game and I pay for it and then leave when I feel happy, so I don't think that I am making money from gambling , just thought I could relieve stress from work on the weekend by gambling, so don't expect you to make a profit  

Wow, you've ignite my interest in checking out your posts. Honestly, I haven't come across many people boldly claiming they're super profitable in public. But if what you're saying is true, then I'm intrigued. Let's see, or maybe you'd like to share some strategies here?

+416k usd, that's a huge money man.

just creacted this month, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.63172216

Right I forgotten about the poll, I added the poll now not need to make a sheet.
also it will be anonymous voting no one can know that they are in profit in gambling.
And discussion will be continued here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/poll-are-you-in-profit-5474628

Obviously I am on the RED, only professional gamblers and those that got lucky are on the green and there are many of those gamblers that eventually go from the green to the red, but this is to be expected as the odds are against us and very few have the skills to beat the casinos at their own games, however I do not think too much of it as even if I am on the red the amount I have lost gambling is not really significant and I can deal with it.

Do we need to profit? LOL

Honestly, the most of us are not in profit if we are going to talk about it with gambling. But if we are going to talk about our profits with holding crypto, most of us will agree to say that we are in profit.

So, that is the statistics if you will take a poll here, the answer of the majority is negative.

Yes, take a look at my recent post. I have been very profitable by only placing matches I am 100% confident in.

It's quite challenging to believe someone who claims to be consistently profitable in gambling. Making consistent money in gambling has been an ongoing problem. When we talk about profit, it implies a long-term approach, considering it as a journey with income and expenses contributing to the overall profit. However, despite the belief that it's possible to be profitable in gambling, the reality is that most of us aren't.

Speaking for myself, I'm not among the savviest gamblers out there, so I'm not making a profit. I'm more on the side of covering expenses and having a bit of fun, you know.

there is no profit that you can get from gambling and this is a gambling business that profits the gambling owner who pays for the user losses with pleasure.

what I say is logical thinking and in fact that is gambling and I will never believe a gambler admits that he is a successful gambler unless he is a gambler who plays games that rely on skill such as poker which relies more on skill than luck and it all depends on how much his expertise in being able to get consecutive wins from the poker game and there are many examples of successful poker gamblers.

and the scenario I said would never believe in successful gamblers in gambling, especially slot games which are truly luck based as well as other games which have random numbers or depend on luck even in sports betting one still depends on luck because there are always surprises in every game.

I am sure from what I said some people will understand what I mean and I will answer "no"

This is going to be difficult to absolutely answer or even get the answer because I am not sure that people are going to be keeping a record of their gambling wins or maybe there are gamblers out there that are keeping a record but it is a tedious process so I highly doubt there is anyone that can accurately say that they profit. Of course anyone can say that they have made a profit because they are still gambling now but if you really want the accurate answer to that question then a full history of your gambling activity will have to be listed to see if you have really profited from your gambling since the beginning.

Just 8 months you are complaining that you have not see any gain, I gamble more than 1 Year and some months before I succeeded to earn a huge amount of money that helps me to recover all my losses and, money don't dry in my bank account for gambling because I do gamble $4 daily and enjoying what am earning.

You don't need to worry, if you are not profit now but just have it in mind that some day you will achieve profit that will make you believe that gambling is good when you are not addicted to it, because the moment you are addicted to gambling, there is no way you will enjoy your profits because any money you save will be going to gambling and your target will be in billions which you will never achieve in gambling.

I haven't addicted myself that hard in gambling but so far I have profited up to $50 sportsbetting max. Moreover, as a student, I do not give much importance to gambling but try to avoid gambling as much as possible. I think that when I have enough time after my studies, maybe I can spend some time with gambling, but I will try to do whatever it takes to protect myself from the social ill effects of gambling. And the gambling profits I had up to that 50 dollars, then I stopped gambling.
