Topic: Do you gamble to earn money? Have you been successful? - page 3. (Read 373 times)
It depends how high you set your success in gambling. For me, I find myself successful in gambling not because I’m constantly in profits, but because I don’t lose a lot when gambling. There are those who have been winning huge amount but little did we know, their losses are even bigger compared to their wins. So I don’t find it successful. Success means to me you gamble on your betting limit and still hit a big win, not because you are also losing big when gambling so you have to chase your losses to recover from your previous losses and also make substantial earnings.

..and top result is to win money. Now, I have been at this phase before trying to win money with gambling and I fell face first that I find this idea absurd these days.
Now, those voters, have you been successful with making money with gambling?

Although I chose to get money but I did not succeed at all, but the desire and ideals are there when I want to gamble, it is a big vision and has not been achieved.
Yes if we talk occasionally a fairly large win like 50x the capital has felt it, but I do not know if it is said to be successful or not if we accumulate all the money we spend in gambling more losses than the benefits we get.
To be honest it's all just a hallucination, but maybe there will be a chance to get a huge multiplier later on in gambling that can change us for the better, hope is likely to hurt.
Personally, I have done it both for the possibility of winning money and for the thrill of betting, honestly more for the latter because it adds an extra element of entertainment when watching sports. I read that the adrenaline from gambling releases dopamine in the brain, which makes us feel good. The unpredictable reward of money reinforces the behavior and makes you want more, so, overall, it doesn't matter much if you have lost more than you have won because you are creating a cycle of satisfaction. You just have to enjoy it and not overdo it.
I really like that thread as it exposed much. For example it has brought about this further conversation. There are times when I gamble for the money. Do I always win, no. In fact the last win I had when my intention was to win money, was less than $15. I couldn't even withdraw it. Well it is just going to be there. The next time I play may be because I want to experience the adrenaline rush and not exactly for the money. I know that consistent wins are not possible but it you lose most of the time then something is wrong.
Go back to that casino and start your fun gambling as you mentioned in the last paragraph of this text, use that remaining balance of $15 that you mentioned to have left in that casino, who knows you may be lucky enough to win some money from that balance since it all about risk, instead of abandoning on the Said casino, what we should know is that gambling as means to make money will always put the gambler at risk and pressure to meet up all the time, but then when the odds are against you and you are chasing the money you will be in a rush to meet your target which defeats the real sense of gambling.
If I do a total estimate between the amount I have spent on gambling and the amount that I have actually withdrawn from my account I don’t think that I would be categorized into those that have successfully played and won in gambling I’m currently at a loss to gambling.
The more you spend time gambling the more the loss margin becomes wider and a few times you might get to win and that wins will confuse you or make you think that you’re at balance with your win and loss ratio but if you do the actual calculation you’ll discover that those little wins are just there to play psychology tricks on you.
I also did not count my exact losses, but I am absolutely sure that over the entire time I have lost more than I have won. I understand that the more I lose, the more likely I will be a loser. But nevertheless, I have reduced the number of bets I make per month, I have decided to make them less often, but at the same time I cannot completely give up the game, because I like to relax by betting on my favorite teams and leagues. And yes, I am ready for losses if they happen, I do not have high expectations, but if I win, I am very happy about it. The more you spend time gambling the more the loss margin becomes wider and a few times you might get to win and that wins will confuse you or make you think that you’re at balance with your win and loss ratio but if you do the actual calculation you’ll discover that those little wins are just there to play psychology tricks on you.
The thing is after winning money, we all go back to the same routine. Perhaps just taking a break and then we go online and deposit and play again and obviously since we can't guarantee that we will always win, then perhaps your success the other day turn to zero the next day.
Same with the biggest windfall for a lotto winner, and that is already a success in itself. However, in matter of years, majority of the winners, who overspend, and buy this and that without thinking of the long term future, thus as a result lose everything. So it's really boils down on how you deal with your winning in order to be called successful in gambling.

it's really hard achieve a profit after many years of gambling.
if you trade your odds and chance of win its something diffferent... you become more trader and not still a gambler.
However, to become a profitable gambler you need to have a lot of skills, experience and knowledge.
most of people will lose huge amount since they are missing something

I don't think there are skills in gambling that guarantees winning, because gambling is mainly about luck , if you ain't lucky you ain't winning. So I don't think there's any skill that will help you control your luck .
Rather they might be step one can follow in gambling just to increase their chances of winning (but the winning is still not guaranteed), all am trying to say is that is possible to acquire some skills in trading that will help increase your chances of winning for sure, like been a pro trader , but I don't think gambling works that way though.
If you are learning trading skills like technical analysis it is in any case better than trying to become rich by gambling.
There are some techniques in gambling that could give gambler some edge like Martindale system, but it is limited just to some games like dice and roulette. And even with those systems gambler risks huge loss (like in my case).
People should not see gambling as opportunity to gain money but as opportunity to relax or play game, but they will lose money for sure.
Nice point mate "people should not see gambling as opportunity to gain money/ get rich fast" should be something done for fun or to while away time , just like relaxing and stuff.
When one start having such mindset of not taken gambling as a means of getting rich , they can easily secure an healthy gambling life , without having any issue of gambling almost or ruining ya lives, because the way approach gambling matters alot .
Only few people have been successful with gambling, and they never intended to gamble for profit but luck turn their life around with gambling. Gambling is not for profit, neither is it an investment that profit is guaranteed. You gamble for fun and the only way for you to be a successful gambler is by limiting your losses, because losses are inevitable.
I really have plan for these.
Maybe do a deposit of around 800-1000$ and try to earn 900,000 IDR around 50-60$/days by using 3 section/days (morning, afternoon, night). Still on my planning, after all of my bank problem sorted (cause buying some house last years).
Maybe created some thread for these journey hahaha.

This will not be easy; I have yet to hear of anyone who consistently earns money in a casino. If this is your primary source of income, there are times when you can't buy food on your own, but if you lose all of your capital, you will have to stop gambling because you do not have an alternative source of income.
Unless this journey is just for testing purposes only on how you can make a profit with the $1000. If you are going to start this journey, I would suggest try the skill-based games like poker live, not the bots or sports betting because you can analyze the game easier compared when you gamble with slots game.

The fact is that it doesn't happen that simply, wins and losses adorn our journey in gambling until we don't know how many wins we get and how many losses we have gone through so far, for me personally if I feel everything is more loss than winning money, although there are some people who think they are for fun and others, in simple logic no one will refuse when they are given money for free in this world especially if it is with a large amount, more or less hope to get the winning money is there even though it is not dominant in him.
I have tried it in the past and failed. Not because it wasn’t possible to make money from gambling consistently, i just figured out it is not worth my time and effort. You can make money from gambling if you are dedicated enough but you should also keep in mind, any long term gains you made, you took them out of the casinos bankroll and casino owners don’t like that.
So when they figure out your betting behavior, they’ll show you the door. I didn’t want to go through this mess. I think having a day job or better yet creating your own business is a much better idea.

Despite the voters votes more on win instead of fun, that does not mean they must win or be successful if they gamble for money. it is has been said repeatedly that people should gamble with what they can afford to lose. this implies that even if they gamble to make the money or for fun, it should be in a state that even if they lose it will not affect them. one thing you should know is that even as people hope to win, yet there is no guarantee that winning is assured. Now, those voters, have you been successful with making money with gambling?
i am not one of those voters, because i myself do not gamble just to get money, although i hope that my gambling can produce something, but i do not put more hope that i can become a successful person by just gambling, because i realize that gamblers gamble against the casino edge and what can make them win is only their luck... if they hope too much that their gambling can produce a lot of money then in the end they will only be left disappointed.

Do you gamble to earn money?
Yes, honestly, I started gambling hoping to make money, as it looked very tempting to me in a young age, with the amount of advertisements about people making huge profits. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for me, I fell for that trap, without understanding how gambling works, I discovered the truth about gambling later after losing money. When I started playing for fun, I had few gains and almost recovered my losses. I wasn’t a heavy player with significant amounts. However, the problem wasn’t about the amount of betting, but the amount of time spent there. Until my last incident losing important money, I realized how addicted I was and decided to take a long break.Quote
Have you been successful?
It’s not about success for me, as winning a Jackpot or losing significant amounts of money. The real success is when you finally understand how things work, starting to set limits and budgets for this activity, enjoying it the right way for fun time. Playing for long term without setting any rules will make you lose not only your money but also your time, friends, job and many precious things even your good taste of life. 
Imo the reasons why we don't normally get the winning we want from gamble is because we are gambling because we think gamble is a means we can generate money easily.
However some times I gambe for the money and I sure to say that I haven't been successful through gamble am just happy that I haven't gone too far by gambling excessively. Sometimes I also gamble because I want to keep myself busy and it's with the money I can afford to lose.

I don't know what edge martingale gives? That thing danger in my experience, can wipe up your bankroll if luck ain't on your side and this unlucky day surely comes where no matter how long you play, you just ain't having a winning bet.
I meant it gives you more chances to profit from winning, but you have big gambling fund. Theoretically if you gamble with small bets chances of profit are big, but with bets doubling with every loss they can rise up pretty quickly. That way I lost almost all BTC portfolio when I had dice game on autobet after loss spree of more then 10 losses.
The edge is a rule on the casino and not o the betting method, if a game has a house edge of 1% thats a constante and will not change.
With martingale we have the same chance to win than placing a single bet. And with martingale we can lose all too if a win doesn't come in the next rolls
I expressed myself wrong, I did not mean edge but higher chances for profit. Thanks for explanation.
As for Martingale I used it but I would not recommend it to anyone as the bets rise sharply after losing a few times in a row. I was thinking I was clever when I started to use it, after some time grew confidence and even started to autobet (I usually gamble manually). As I said above it costed me most of my BTC funds when I came across loss spree.
Now, those voters, have you been successful with making money with gambling?
I can only say, I make money when I win and complain money when I lose.
Gamblers can't get consistent wins to make money. I think all gamblers know that. Sometimes or more I bet because of money. But sometimes I bet because of interest in the match (sports betting). I think there will be a separate drive for each gambler who finally decides to gamble.
If asked overall more money was made or lost, I will be honest more money was lost. But that fact I believe will not stop gamblers from stopping gambling.
