" gambling is all about luck" yes gambling involves luck but that those not mean skill and knowledge is not involve, if you gamble on sports you know nothing about then you are gambling blinding and your chance of winning are very small compared to when you know everything about that particular sport, when you know a lot about a particular sport prediction will be easy for you.

Every sports betting still involves skills before you can be able to gamble confidently regardless that winnings depends mostly on luck but without applying the rightful skills and knowledge, it will be difficult to be presented with the possibility of winning. Most sporting events has different strategies with which a gambler can follow up with so that they don't gamble blindly because gambling blindly can lead to emotions when you gamble without knowledge of the event but when you have an understanding of the kind of event you are dealing with, even if you lose you won't feel it because you actually placed the bet based on what you felt is obtainable.

The narration that gambling is a game of luck is what some people may still use and go ahead and play a game they know nothing about. There is calculated risk even if you don’t know anything about a sport, you should seek for some kind of analysis that will give you an heads up before taking the risk. If you’re so bent on seeing it as a game of luck, you may play the game several times and still be losing because you don’t know the basics of which is necessary to know before trying your luck on the games. A gambler knows better when and how to play a game they’re use to, so reducing risk by only playing games you’re familiar with is better, then learn more about others you’d want to try out the next time, when the time comes for you to also try your luck there.

Some people love and knows everything about soccer why some people love and knows everything about basketball, so also table tennis, volleyball, baseball, horse racing, handball, snooker, boxing, cricket, golf etc. Any sport you know very well, you can gamble on those sport and avoid gambling on sports you know nothing about, one of the reasons why some set of people lose money a lot when it comes to gambling is because they gamble on sports they know nothing about with the slogan " gambling is all about luck" yes gambling involves luck but that those not mean skill and knowledge is not involve, if you gamble on sports you know nothing about then you are gambling blinding and your chance of winning are very small compared to when you know everything about that particular sport, when you know a lot about a particular sport prediction will be easy for you.
Is true that knowing everything about a particular sport those not grantee you winning always but is an added advantage when you are gambling because it brings you more wins.

Jack of all trade in gambling is one of the reason why alot of gamblers lose money a lot. There is one gambling community I am on Telegram and there is something I noticed many of them do. If some predict a game on a particular sport, could football, basketball, handball or hockey. As soon as they noticed one gambler has won one particular game, they rush to play it and the funny thing is thag casino tend to change things when they notice an Influx of user to a particular game, they know someone must have win so they increased the lower line to make it harder than the way it was before.

If you are very good at what you do and I don't have a little knowledge, if you share me such kind of game to risk some money, I will not unless I want to have some fun but the amount I will put is going to be too small that it wouldn't be enough to feed me or for transportation to go buy something, that's how serious I'm with gambling on what I don't know.

What about sports that is fun to watch, but I am not fully familiar with. Like basketball for example. Its always fun to watch. Teams score all the time, they do tricks. I know basic rules, but for example I dont understand difference between personal or team foul, or why it is indicated below score table? I know only most popular players, but dont know 95% of all team rosters and who is the strongest team or player (as they all score during game). However, it is fun to bet on any NBA game while watching.

Yeah I agree one can bet on different sport which you aren't too familiar with too, although it's a personal decision and so not everyone does it but I do normally bet on basketball and even baseball even though I don't even have the full knowledge about the game and it favours me most of time too. Sometimes I even get tired of playing most of the soccer game am familiar with especially the premier league as it's very hard sometimes to get their predictions right.

I strongly agree that when gambling should not be blind, because it can provide a small chance of winning in gambling, I think it is not only small but very small for the chance of winning. Therefore, there needs to be an analysis in every gambling, especially in sports matches, because it will have an impact on getting a big chance of winning in gambling. From this point we can conclude that gambling cannot only rely on luck, if possible there needs to be an analysis to reduce the risk of losing in gambling.

they may actually want to try everything not minding how much they know about the sport literally and that isn't ideal if you are gambling for the purpose of making money alone but if you are gambling for both fun and making the money you may need stick with what you know best at some point in time.

Thats a risky one if its on sports betting unless they follow someone with experience or friend who are good into it. Betting blindly on a sports you are not familiar is like trying to win something you dont know how to win. Most gamblers might just copy paste some others bet but its always on advantage if you lile the one you are gambling money with.

For those who really wants to gamble safe and profitably while employing their skill and knowledge with some involvement of luck this may apply so well to them but for others who would want to be completely luck dependent, they may actually want to try everything not minding how much they know about the sport literally and that isn't ideal if you are gambling for the purpose of making money alone but if you are gambling for both fun and making the money you may need stick with what you know best at some point in time.

It is true that you will not experience massive lost amounts of money by betting on sports that you have followed every week for years for example although in the long term this will not save anyone from being in negative. Also most people once they win something from their bets they will immediately expand to another type of game because this is mostly inevitable in casinos, I don't know yet a single gambler who only bets on the sports he knows most better and that he has been following from a lot of time for years during many seasons. That is the catch if you stay only in sport betting you will evade devastating loses like slot machines but in the long term no one as I said can save you from being in negative.

Of course, to be a successful player (I mean sports betting), you need to be well versed in the given sport.

For example, I willingly bet on football, hockey and boxing (and very rarely on baseball, which I do not understand). I was into hockey, football and boxing even before I started gambling. All members of my family loved to watch football and hockey matches on TV. And I am no exception!

My grandfather even played football professionally. He was considered a very promising player until he damaged the ligaments in his leg. That is why he did not get into the national team.

Does it help me in gambling that I periodically watch football, hockey and boxing matches? Yes, of course.

However, of course, this information (definitely useful) cannot guarantee me a win in gambling. To be honest, I lose more often than I win.

Sports games which you mentioned if one has good knowledge about these games then he can earn good family money through gambling because sports can always be predicted well if you have good knowledge about that sport.

But a big problem is that most of the gamblers who play gambling do not have good knowledge about gambling games, they jump into gambling only because of the greed of money and seeing the success of others and continue to bet with huge expectations and they end up losing a lot.

Its not only more wins, but you have engagement in the sport you love. Whenever we watch our favorite games, we also give our input even if we are not betting, but what more if you have a stake in your money?
Even if you lose on your bets, there's excitement if some of what you analyze turns out to be correct. It's hard to analyze games in casinos, but when it comes to sports betting, its different, and it fuels your excitement by analyzing these games.

It is better to bet on the sport that you know because that can increase your chance to win although that still need luck to help you win. We can still place our bet in the sport that we don't know but we must be careful selecting the sport because we can lose anytime and that can make us sad if we use too big money. Betting on sport needs knowledge and luck so when we can analyze the match using our knowledge, we will get the team or player that have more chances to win. But we must remember that we may not have a big chance to win because we need luck to win.

Betting on a sports which you have a good knowledge that creates confidence. There is no guarantee that we will win the bet, but our chances of winning are very high. If you do not have experience in sports betting, the chances of winning are very low. Moreover, the excitement that can be obtained by betting will not be there either. That is why knowledge is definitely needed in sports betting. I have bet on games about which I do not have a good idea several times despite my reluctance, but even though I won a few bets there, my total bet result was very bad. If we do not have confidence, you cannot expect to win there. Even if luck favors someone very well, it is not the same for everyone. A sports bettor should bet on such sports so that he is able to win.

This is not always the case, I agree with this if we are talking about football, I understand this sport best and therefore I will bet there. But what if I also love poker and I think that I am a good player, but each time my opponents can be different and I do not know how good they are until I start playing. In this case, it is not only how well I know the game that matters, but also how strong my opponent is in this game. And luck in this case also matters, how good a card I get.

Indeed that is what bettors should do, but before reaching that stage we also cannot ignore the beginning of our betting on sports. of course in the beginning there are many things that we do not know, but because of experience and because of our love for one of the sports, consciously or unconsciously we will try to learn everything related to the sport, including betting options or strategies. well, since we already have a lot of experience related to the sports that we like, it helps us in the practice of research and analysis. there is no guarantee, but at least this is what we can do to minimize the ratio of defeat. but still, everything has risks. but anyway I agree with what you said, because a bettor cannot always rely on luck. if that is done, it means the same as throwing money away in vain. one more thing, even though we bet on the sport that we master or like the most, we don't have to involve every match or league in betting. just choose the ones that you really understand, know, and especially follow. thus, conducting research and analysis will not be too complicated.

We have to accept that gambling depends on luck. No matter how much knowledge and analysis we put into betting, you can't win unless you're lucky. My favorite sports are football and cricket I try to bet on these two sports. I have no idea about other sports so I don't try to bet on all other sports. Yes, if you leave sports betting to luck, you are blind because using analysis and knowledge in sports betting will give you an advantage but cannot guarantee it. Now how gambling depends on luck, last match I bet on Liverpool and I was confident to win but lost the match as a draw. So it is better to bet on the games that you know about. But we have to trust our luck, knowledge and analysis will not win you if luck is not good.

I totally disagree with you on that if you said gambling is just luck, now let me ask you one simple question. If you don't have any idea/knowledge about how gambling works how can you be able to indicate those options and also what it means? Are you trying to tell me that you can just choose any options as long as luck is involved? That's totally wrong, if you're doing this definitely you will keep experience lose all the time. obviously gambling itself is all about luck but first you need to know those options very well before you expect luck to be on your side, because if you can't indicate those options very well definitely luck will be very far from you. though you can win by mistake but it will be very hard I guess by then you must have lose a huge amount of money in gamble, So don't say that knowledge and analysis does not matter in gambling.

I couldn't agree more. With sports bettings statistics and expert predictions are so widely availible that anyone can make an educated guess and win big its really not all that complicated. Even if you know nothing of the team there is a chance and that is where the luck comes in but you're right OP I would surely advise to stick with what you know and create a betting niche that could pan out for you. The tricky part is that some players or teams have their hot streaks but may lose and throw you off, I think its slow and steady wins the race. Don't let any drawbacks crumble you and don't bet any more than you're willing to lose of course.

Gambling is indeed a game of luck but that does not mean that one should be ignorant of themselves and the process. Utilizing your skills and knowledge while gambling should be a major focus and not just depending on luck to win a game. Have you ever seen a sportsman depending on luck to win their games? the answer is no, every sportsman does train and utilizes their skills and capacity to make sure they play their game very well so is a gambler. It is pertinent that you also use your initiative to be well-strategic while betting.

At first, your betting should be within your strength and what you can analyze so easily and without much stress. You can bet on games and clubs you can easily do your analysis on to save you the stress of losing your belt as the case may be. It is good you take time to do all these and avoid betting blindly because making such a mistake would cost you your time, effort, and funds. Although betting or gambling is done for fun at least it is nice to do things properly rather than just rushing into things blindly.

Even the best knowledge sometimes brings absolutely nothing. Speaking from my own experience. I myself play basketball for like 30 years, watching a lot of leagues, know so many teams and players, plenary of them personally as well. Gambling wise basketball is pretty much the only thing I bet on and yet I often get so unlucky, it’s actually amazing. Team has a 10 game winning streak and plays a weak team, I bet on them and they lose. Betting on a mediocre team that plays against a team that lost every single game so far and stands at like 0/13, the last place wins easy.
This happens all the time, don’t know why. Haha
You can have the best knowledge ever and still fall because of these strange outcomes. Same with crazy comebacks by opposing teams, happens so often. Just today my team was down 18, recovers like crazy and leads by 3 with 10min to go, and then they lose by 15 even though they carried all the momentum while playing at home. Just how?? Grin

This is both true and wrong at the same time and depends on what kind of betting you do. I have never bet on any game that I do not really know. I mean I do bet on super bowl, while not watching American football that much, but that's super bowl, it's more about entertainment than sport for me to be fair and betting on it makes me support one side, because normally I do not care about any team there.

However, contrary to me, there are friends I know who just like to bet on whoever is the favourite at the closest possible way. Meaning, if they see a 1.40 odds on any team on any sport or person, then they may end up betting on them as well. So it's clear that we are not going to really get a certain way that people bet, most of them do end up changing a lot and they all have different approach to it. I believe that this is going to be pretty similar for everyone. Some will avoid betting on any sport they do not, and some will just stick to strategy and not care about what they bet on as long as it fits their strategy.
