No gambler can win in the long term, friend, because victory can be obtained when luck is on your side, while luck cannot be obtained every time.
Maybe playing with limits and self-control can minimize the number of losses when no luck comes, but many people out there prefer to chase luck rather than waiting for the right time to get lucky.

Basically, strategy is just a small way to win but you are still at risk of losing, so no strategy is successful without the support of luck.

As said in War Games, a great movie from 1983:


You can of course play to enjoy some fun, but maths tell you that you're not going to win in the long term.

yes it is true, but if luck is on our side, but if not? maybe we will just continue to bet using all strategies to minimize losses when betting and sometimes these strategies will be destroyed when we fight our own emotions when we lose at gambling.
any strategy that is carried out if we cannot commit ourselves to controlling emotions, it will only be in vain.

That's the power of linguistics, the way we use language and how we label things can affect our perception.
So, for example, we end up throwing various things like sports betting, classic casino games, or poker into one bag labeled as "gambling" and see them as one category, but the reality is all of them should be approached entirely differently.
Poker is a good example, despite some jurisdictions already classing it as a skill game rather than gambling, it's still pretty hard to shift public perception.

No one can accurately predict the outcome of any game, either game of luck, strategy and sports betting all are depending on how you predict and analyze the possible outcome, with luck behind you even the percentage to lose is 99% that 1% can still happen and eventually you will win the game.

So with losses, even you think that you are done and fully convince that your pick will bring you the win, if luck is against you then expect the outcome will not favor you.

Strategy or better to say experienced, if you have good experienced to apply, you might minimize your losses and possible to enjoy decent winnings when luck is playing beside you.

Some games are designed so that the gambler thinks they did alright, when in reality it was way off.

For example, let's say someone got 14 numbers right in some form of lotto, the gambler might think, well at least i got 14 right, or something like that, without realizing that the game can be designed so that 14 is the absolute minimum you will get, so basically the worst performance ever, yet still create the illusion of winning.

Yes, because in betting a game, the odds that will be generated can already be seen when we play it and it's not us who determine the odds, but the house.
The game that you mentioned is going according to the plan made by the provider so we don't know what will happen or it can be said that there is no clarity or certainty about the game opportunities.

I wonder friends why some people equate betting on games and sports betting.
As you said, I agree, because sports betting has odds that will change from time to time depending on the course of the match, so that will provide more certain odds for our bets.

The strategy can be created based on your own experience all the time. Every gambler will earn own strategy from his past experience on that game, mostly the game he played will be mastered by him. Even though the gamblers had their own strategy on the particular game, this can be changed on the luck was changed on your part. The unexpected result comes at the unexpected change in the luck. Whether the game was changed by the luck or not, you should have an habit of playing the desired game with the desired strategy. When the strategy was adopted at the correct time, the game will be changed to your advantage one at any time. Not all have guts to play the game with their own strategy, they will try to use of maximum money winner strategies.

No perfect strategies in gambling no matter how it works out, it may just be a luck and nothing more, when you gamble and wins then what comes next to your mind is the adoption of the best strategy used of which it's not in most cases, things happen coincidentally sometimes, we need to find a best match plug to strategize our games in orther to win, this now determines how skillful we are and how lucky as well we are when gambling.

Yeah right, casino always has a good share with the odds. They calculated it according to how they will gain, no brainer in terms of the cut the casino always has in each bet that gamblers are taking using the platform. Each bets have corresponding profits for the house. Whatever game you are taking, there are always portions of it for the house.

Everything has been systematically prepared for the house benefits and even they lost to you. There's always another gambler that will cover it and will bring money for the business.

all people who play casino games like dice, plinko, and many other casino games are people who believe in luck, and casino games that depend on luck for people to win are games that people will not have any strategy, no matter how long it takes the person will not create any strategy, for example games like lottery, the person just buys a ticket and nothing else, there is no strategy, of course when the person is very rich he can buy a lot of tickets, but that is not something that will guarantee that person will hit the jackpot. the same thing can be said about plico or dice, even if the person has a lot of money and spends many hours playing it is not a guarantee

that the person will win a lot of money, on the contrary the chances of the person leaving with little money are very great, most of the time the person even leaves the casino poor and in debt, because nowadays with so much technology the person can call a friend and make a debt to play at the casino and lose everything and become poor. sports betting and card games are games that do not depend on luck, for this reason I prefer sports betting because in sports betting it is possible for the person to create strategies, plans so the final result is thanks to the strategy of each person, if someone you can do a good analysis of the games so you will be able to profit

True, at the end of the day the difference appears in the estimation of the odds. In games like roulette, or slots, etc, the odds are fixed and simple to calculate, say, 1 in 6 to roll a 4 on a dice. It's done, then the casino pays less than those odds, and that's the game.

For the sports bets though, that's a different story because the odds change all the time. Even in half time for example the reality has changed and the odds need to be updated. What remains the same is that the casino always pays less than what their estimated odds would indicate.

The difference is clearly visible, slots are games that are bet on and operate with machines where there is a system that works to run this game, while football betting is a sports bet that is directly related to the course of a match that is taking place.
But regarding the house edge, I need to say that the house edge can't do anything to beat gamblers in football sports betting, especially because the winning outcome is determined by the competing team, not the house edge.
But on the other hand the house edge cannot beat gamblers on sports betting they can still give very low odds against a team that has a high chance of winning the match.
The opportunity for gamblers to outsmart the low odds given by the house edge is only one, by placing more bets because when placing bets earlier the odds are still slightly higher.

Yup, that's a good example of the fact that we, as humans, are primarily driven by basic hormonal instincts rather than by cold-calculated rational decisions.
I'd argue if the slot-machine playing actually provides the "enjoyment", it's probably more related to getting addicted to the dopamine rush they provide and to satisfying that addiction. It's probably in the same category as young men being addicted to porn. Both behaviours are very destructive in the long-run.

It's money and the fear of losing it each time you play/bet really affects your emotions, different reaction from both winnings and losing streaks, if you can't control that emotions even you have a good understanding with mathematically probabilities and some luck behind you, you can still lose a lot, worse, you can lose all your bankrolls with a small mistake in following your emotions.

You need to work everything together to enjoy and yet to gain some benefits during your stay inside the house.

I think that emotions are involved in every game, and it cannot be avoided, unless the person playing is a bot, and that is something I rule out, because we all like to play and enjoy, but when talking about emotions, one may think that you have to control them, but it's something too difficult, if there are people who just because of their emotions give them a high tension and just because they can't control their emotions, now in the game where everything is so busy it's something very different but it has a Same effect, only that in the game things go to another level because it is money That is involved.

Slots and soccer betting are completely different gambling games, but they both attract a huge number of different gamblers. As your opponent pointed out above slots are the most common games of chance, and soccer can safely be called the most famous sporting game in the world and, accordingly, this game is the most popular sports betting.

Uh of course, how else is the casino going to make money?

The question is not about what games involve luck or whatnot because honestly everything that involves gambling must at least involve some level of luck as well to go to your favor. Be it slots, or even boxing matches. Other games may have been played but as it stands today based on statistical empirical data, slots turns out to be the most played game in every casino you'll frequent in, and for good reason too. With other games you have to know the mechanics and whatnot which honestly is a tedious process especially if you're only looking to let off some steam and relax, but Slots on the other hand offers that relaxation and release significantly faster as there's very little to no rules that you need to follow. Just crank the lever and go to town with it.

Slot are the most played? But others are played too very well. Can you see football, house edge is obvious and you do not have to look deeper before you will notice that. If you gamble, the chance that the house would win is always higher while gambling with them. That is why you will see gambling sites generally generating money and growing and getting richer as they have more people that are gambling with them.

Are you referring to slot games when you say that the games basically make the casino win almost all the time and give users only small wins and the ratio is mostly in favor of the house? Because that is what happens in slot games but if you look at the stats or conduct a survey, slot games are the most favorite of all gamblers and they are the most played games in any casino.

The main reason why most people play these games is the engagement and enjoyment they provide, some also like their graphics and display elements, and only some play for profits which is very hard to get in them.
