Topic: Do you find Success in Gambling? - page 34. (Read 33080 times)

i had a pretty successful season in europe last season but the world cup has come with a lot of upsets and i have suddenly lost a lot of money which has sort neutralize my wins this year but you can be successful if you work at it and remained disciplined as a gambler.

Oh no. I know that gambling is just not for me and I'm trying to stay away from it. I'm afraid that I can become addicted to gambling easily and lose a lot of money.
Sports betting is the only type of gambling which I'm playing. It has least luck factor and I can use my knowledge in sports there. But sports betting is just for fun, I'm making just few bets a day on main sports events. I'm not looking into sports betting as way to earn money.

I was glad to hear that even though gambling generally don't have an impressive thoughts due to possibility of losing. That earnings from gambling could be used again for betting, and yet not be saved for a good purpose but still for gambling. So that means successful gamblers doesn't conform in exact definition on how success works. Losing lots of money in gambling is a frustrating situations that could lead a person to become worthless financially, and I think that those gambling owners the will be successful compared to gambling clients.

I personally think people who find success in gambling are those who are lucky in terms of gambling their money because not a lot of people do find success in gambling itself. It is very risky and the percentage rate of losses are more than the success rate through online gambling.

I think you good a great success in gambling section because not much player that could get a good stat like you especially to get 0.14 btc profit and 0.82 eth profit. and yes, I agree that we need to know how much money that we want to use to playing gambling and don't play gambling if you cannot accept your loss. it is better to play gambling for just fun and not for chasing the winning money.

We can't say that there is a hundred percent success in gambling because, there is a like hood of losing more before you gain. There are some people who couldn't make their success even after gambling for quite a long time and this is because they just play without reasoning or calculating their time and chances of playing. They don't know when to stop but keeps on playing.

Although I've lost to gambling on different sites around 0.1 BTC during the whole time of my engagement with it, my overall profit is positive due to just one lucky play in a poker tournament with 1 BTC prize pool one year ago. I won 0.17 BTC back then taking the 3rd place in the tournament where very good poker players(much better than me) were participating. I know that I took the 3rd place not due to my skills but rather because I was lucky that when 5 players left, me included, two of them, having much more chips than me, lost in all-in showdown to another player.

It is true that you need to be luck to be able to be successful in gambling, but also you need to be smart and have self control so you won't lose, if you make a bet and you lose once and twice in a row you don't need to keep going, there is no need to multiply your bet in order to compensate for you loses, just call it a day and leave, because successful people are not just winners they are also the ones that pick their fights and know when to quit.

The successful gamblers can be only found in once in a million so everyone can't be successful in the gambling earnings.I never consider myself as successful here because I lost more money and just earned very few from here and there so no ome can't make money from gambling in long run.

Every people have their own success so for example sweetbet , you're feel failed but as long as you can afford to loss, you feel no regret, do you ?
But for other people , not have same just like you because they want to success or at least get some profit before stop betting.

So you can see people like Dan Bilzerian, Professional poker player that I can consider him as success gambler in the world right now

I've had a few decent wins here and there, but when I look back at it, I believe that I lost much more money than I actually won over time. It doesn't bother me too much though, because I rarely gamble, and when I do, I only gamble with small amounts of money that I can afford to lose.

The same situation as here mate, I also tried my luck on gambling but it doesn't fit me in I've always a loss when I'd play gambling.
Gambling is not all the times that you are successful even though those experts on gambling nothings happen to them if they only wanted is a success of gambling because it depends on pure luck when it comes gambling.
But if you have enough money to gamble why not, who knows the good luck will be yours at that time.

I have tried my luck with gambling quite a few times. But it was a loss-making exercise for me, and therefore I stopped doing it. But I know a few people, who profited out of gambling.

People with gambling problems don’t know about maths (specifically, the maths of gambling) and/or self-control problems. But for most people gambling is a way of entertainment, and they don’t ruin their lives, otherwise gambling would be banned and severely punished in all countries.


This is they key: to play versus other and not to play versus the house. In sports betting or poker you can be successful but you need to acquire deep knowledge and to make an effort.


I’ve had a similar experience playing poker some years ago, when it was easier to make money. I used to spend quite a few hours because more hours meant more money.



I totally agree.


Something similar happens with winner poker players. They know they can’t win every hand and tend to be selective about the tables they play, the sites and times.


I totally agree.

Being lucky itself means to people being successful. Because not every one can be lucky and if you are lucky then mostly success will be near or with you and you can easily achieve money, fame, name etc. In gambling as well you require the luck with you to be successful in making the bet win.

Yes what you say is very true. The quest of revenge after successive losses can also get extremely addictive. I do feel as I mentioned in the post that working for success is important and I am sure that will be rewarded in the form of luck. But shall I share what I have observed with your post? It is the same gambling aspect that you want to come back again when you have enough resources to spend. And may I ask you if this spending after you have enough resources is also part of an addiction?

I would be happy to learn from the experiences of many of you who have had a good hand at gambling whether you have always found that most people complain of losses repeatedly in spite of knowing the fact that gambling can wreck us neck deep in troubles? It is difficult to distinguish between habit and addiction. Addiction is deriving pleasure irrespective of losses, if I may put it that way. That is the very reason we talk about addiction in gambling and never as taking to regular gambling a habit.

I also wish to learn how generally people cope with losses in gambling. As you said they may feel like taking revenge and can end up losing everything or they may take it with a smile and not venture into it again. Am I right in understanding that people who take gambling for fun and enjoyment are happier with gambling? But here the serious question that arises is that can those who are simply enjoying and having fun be serious success seekers? And can those who seriously seek success enjoy the game as fun?

With this year world cup there is a chance to win for real, I mean there is no rigged games or any provably fair system in place or lack thereof, We could actually win big if we try our chance now. I'm personally not fond of gambling, Yes maybe I used to like gambling a lot, But not for a long time now. So I believe that these days are exception and there are some chances of success if you could find a place to bet your money and let the players decide the fate of your bet.

If a gambling site is running for years means it is in a profit and players are losing money. If a site can't make money then they will close the site soon. I'm also an investor on that site and it is giving me profit but may not be huge but better than keeping my coins in my wallet. I invested some coins and happy with the investment.

In gambling games most of us losses at the end if you play for long and no need to hide that part. You can win only if your lucky and nothing wrong with OP post.

I have had both success and failure @ sports gambling.

OP describes the perspective of someone who has not much experience in gambling or in studying the approaches people take in attempting to profit from it. Many sports gamblers are well aware they cannot win every bet and so there are many who hedge through props in an attempt to play both sides of a bet to profit.

Likewise, sports betters recognise they cannot win every bet and tend to be very selective about which matches or events they participate in. Knowing which games to avoid and when to quit can be one of the most difficult to learn and adhere to skills.

When it comes down to it, a large portion of gambling could be defined as a mathematical venture. Certainly there are gamblers who gamble purely on emotion who are used as the poster children for why gambling is evil. But at the cutting edge you might see mathematical equations and formulas being employed.

I do not think that 5% people can claim that they have made money in gambling and are succeeded in gambling. To me as i know about most of the people around me who are related to gambling, but still i cannot see a single person who have made a good amount of money from gambling and now stopped playing gambling any more.
