..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?


Gambling is typically to make money, alot of persons gamble to make more money for their livelihoods because if you win the money is usually big, just like a jackpot, which can change their lives instantly and since they know gambling very well,they don't hesitate to get involved and they are doing very well , either by winning or by sponsorship just like  those involved in Casino,these are the professionals.
But it cannot be certain that you will alway win, making money always from gambling is not a good and dependable alternative .
I see many gamblers who have thoughts like you where gambling has actually used as a livelihood, but does it make them successful and rich?
Precisely not, because when we make gambling as the main livelihood then we will enter the realm that does have a considerable risk of loss, in addition to many uncertain factors in gambling during this time, of course the instability of income from gambling also makes it unfit to be our main source of income, maybe often we see someone getting  big win in gambling during this time, but sometimes we don't know how much money he has spent so far before the victory occurred.
My advice, it is better to find other sources of income that can guarantee financial stability and make gambling only as entertainment and fun.
Yes, it is reasonable to assume that gamblers will gamble for entertainment purposes from their alternative income and will sometimes win as an extra which will keep them entertained and continue gambling. In your opinion, those gamblers spend more time on expenses than they earn and definitely waste that money. It is good to take risks in gambling but it should be in proportion to your income so that even if you lose, it does not negatively affect your daily life. Researching bets with big winning expectations is a good idea if you are in a casino, so get more experience.

I also agree with you that it is important to have a stable source of income and consider the time and be prepared to lose every time you win. Some gamblers may choose gambling as a short-term scheme to get rich but this is only possible from jackpots whereas the chances of getting rich from small slots are much less.

Gambling to get money will end in disappointment when you lose and suddenly emotions will soar because desires do not match expectations. Although most gamblers basically want to make money, the success rate is very low. I prefer to gamble for fun because I always consider losing as a certainty and winning as a bonus, I will also stop for a while if I lose continuously.

Now, those voters, have you been successful with making money with gambling?
HELL NO!!!!!!
Just like in trading, I also lost a substantial amount of money in gambling already. You know what's worse? I can't stop myself because... because I love watching sports, and putting some bets on them makes it more entertaining to me. Cheesy

Anyway, gambling for the sake of earning money for me is a wrong mindset because in the long run, you can't make yourself profitable in gambling. You might win tomorrow and the next week, you might lose it all. Gambling for the sake of entertainment would be a better option and that's what I'm doing right now that's why whenever I lose money in gambling, I don't feel any disappointment or anything since I'm ready to lose it anyway.

TBH, I can't think of any way on how to make money in gambling aside from the fact that you win huge amount of money today like in lottery or in poker, or maybe in some slot games, and you will stop eventually and will use those winnings to invest into something more important like real estate, but I doubt that a gambler will do that. Of course, they will try and risk it all hoping that they will win more money again. Cheesy

The only reliable method I heard of to 'earn' cash is via bonuses and by their very nature you cannot rely on it always to be there.  If you are given a bonus then its a good increase in favorable terms to you, not quite free money really but it can be played with to an advantage and I guess I would agree it could be argued as gambling to earn money.  

The casino gets more activity and you get to feel like a Las Vegas fully comp'd star but of course you can still lose so its best not to get carried away and think its actual free or a certain win.   Some people have systems to make the most of their bonuses but thats another topic and no doubt someone wrote a book on such systems etc.
Well, promizes are not true indicators of profit in a casino, but they still can serve as a nice bonus for anyone who decides to play a casino. Though the bonuses open more chances to play, the final outcome always depends upon luck and decision-making in playing. Everything in the casinos is created to give players an adrenaline rush, and indeed, make them feel as though they are getting more than what is being provided, but still, dangers are involved. As a result, there is a need to moderate on how to use bonuses is basic in the sense that one should not be imprisoned by the expectations. Despite that, the bonuses can be used specially worked-out ways to achieve the desired outcome with high probability, there is no certain way that can guarantee sure success. In fact, what the casino offers in bonuses is the chance and how to make the best out of it depends on every gambler.

The key thing to understand is that our human brains didn't evolve to be good at probabilities. It evolved to be good at things like Newtonian physics, as in, how to throw a rock to hit something.

We intuitively can calculate the trajectory of a thrown object, but fail miserably at the probability of some event occurring.

If someone says to the general population that something bad might happen to them with a 0.0001% probability, many people will be sure that it will happen to them, like a 50/50 chance, when in reality it's pretty much zero.

So, when you see the odds of lottery and other gambling games, most people simply ignore the infinitesimal probability to win, and just think: "I have a chance!", and happily pay the entry fee.

Of course, the vast majority of people end up losing their money when gambling.

Having said that, there are a few people who ended up winning a lot of money gambling, like David Walsh, who ended up creating a museum with his winnings.

How to define successful in gambling? winning one time with big money? winning consecutively with small amounts? or even one time with small amounts despite losing a lot of money? I've not that successful at anything and that's what I believe. All that I have won with gambling ain't that a lot and that means it's all about winning back and losing few for me. I'm just happy with the exchange that's on going when I gamble because it's not always a good day even in trading. But I cannot deny that I gamble for both reasons, to make money and also to have fun. While the others keep on mentioning that they only do it for fun but let alone their money lose, they won't enjoy that and it's no fun.
It is very unlikely to be successful by just gambling if our role is as an ordinary player. Even with those who are called professional gamblers, I think it doesn't mean they can be successful by gambling because no matter what, no one can change the chances of winning that the player has, the percentage is relatively smaller, while the chances of losing are relatively large, so defeat will still be the most common thing that happens and is obtained by all players and maybe no exception.
No one wants to lose money in any way, this is just a difference in views and perceptions because not everyone has the goal of making money in gambling, but I'm sure there are many like that.
Well, they won't be professional gamblers for being nothing. They have for sure proven themselves worth it and they've made a lot of money and that's why they have their titles. The success is already in them but that does not stop them for achieving newer goals and highs within their gambling career. But you're right that success isn't going to happen to a normal gambler because it's like we gamble for fun, we lose, win and then everything is balance again until we gamble again and we've got more lose.

Actually I sometimes play gambling because I inject gambling gambling I never use gambling to earn money. Sometimes I win some of my money. Those who actually come here for money income are some of the people win from here and most people lose all of their lives here by being defeated and disappointed. Again there are some gambling who constantly earn money by gambling through gambling they are the only gambling games in their profession but can benefit again by gambling. They’ve slowly gained experience in such a way that it’s hard to see them losing live casinos in my own eyes. Many have won the jackpot before my eyes and have become the owner of millions of money through this one gambling game.

I think many people’s want to big win in gambling and some are coming here to rich at overnight, they're taking big risk to big win, they think it seems source of income. And that's true a lot of peoples treated gambling is just fun, they don’t want to big win but no one want to lose in the gambling. So, two type of gambers here, some take it just fund, another is taking it seriously as making money.
It is normal if many people want to big win in gambling because gambling tempt them to still playing gambling without stop. That makes them difficult to control themselves when playing gambling because they want to win more money. Although they win some money, that will not stop them from chasing more money and will not consider that gambling is just an activity for having fun. Seeing that condition, it is better we use gambling for have fun and not for make money.
Gamblers may have big winning expectations which is normal and this tendency tempts you more. If he cannot control himself in the tendency to win big, he can reach the stage of addiction. You need to make decisions according to the reality of your expectations to win in gambling. For example you should not continue gambling with the expectation of winning and overconfidence and focus on the goal of earning.
You should initially try to win with small bets or other gambling. If you consider gambling as a means of earning, you will definitely lose and lose money. The consideration should be that if you win from gambling for passing time and having fun, then you are lucky and it is most of the time uncertain.

Well, that is indeed very natural considering that everyone must always like something called money, when someone comes by focusing on winning then it will clearly be very difficult for them to control themselves or apply limits because clearly what they want is to get as many wins as possible and of course to realize their wishes then they have to treat gambling excessively, and this fact reminds me of one idea that if for example you want to get out and be free from the cycle of addiction then there is no other way than to eliminate your focus on winning, meaning eliminate your obsession with winning and this is also the reason why I often say and advise anyone to first correct their knowledge and understanding of gambling because only then will awareness arise.

One of the most wrong thing that you would really be doing when doing gambling is that you do have that kind of mindset that you can be able to make money with gambling on which this is really that a very delusional kind of thinking because there's no way that you can be able to take advantage specially on against the house and this is why its really that impossible if you do have this kind of approach towards it and this is why its really that bad to have this kind of mentality because it will really be that only leading to addiction and would really be leading to make your financial status to become more worst. People wont be able to feel it out first when they do have the money but on the time that they have nothing then this is where realization kicks in.

Gamble on the money that you can afford to lose and never ever tend to go with that limit because if you do have that kind of behavior on trying out to go spend out even more and the worst is that you do took up some loan then you will be ending up miserable. Successful? The ones i do see about on being successful is into those who are good on sports betting and card games like poker on which there's really that possibility or probability that they can sustain out but still not an assured thing.

During my early days of gambling i experienced long time loses, i was not the fortunate gambler i must say. Experience to some level helped me recently, i noticed about few months behind now making profits than i did earlier, my history says better profitable than loses. I never made much from gambling as in millions like most people say they do, i will say so far i am successful and not unsuccessful not chasing profits, all my gambling acts i consider moderate.
Though experience cannot guarantee a gambler win, it will certainly help the gambler to do good research. Those who gamble without researching, gambling blindly, will certainly not be easy to succeed in gambling. Those who are new to gambling have less chance of winning if they are not lucky, and if they are lucky, there are many examples of getting big wins. Personally, I do not gamble with any such intention that I can earn money from gambling. However, if my gambling wining ratio is low, combining wins and losses, I think that is success. As such, I will say that I am successful.

All gamblers probably want to win at the casino or gambling, even if we say that the intention is just for fun, of course they still want to win. They just don't expect to win a big amount at the casino. This is probably the only difference between gamblers who gamble just for fun.

Also because some gamblers have really high expectations to win or are even desperate to win because they really expect gambling as a source of income.

Now, those voters, have you been successful with making money with gambling?
TBH, I'm not a part of those voters who say to make a priority in gamble for the money. I've said in many occasions, gambling is mostly for the fun, money is just like a bonus in gambling. If we too focus on earning money, we probably ends up to gamble excessively. It is because we should try to recover our losses.

By the way, if we often gamble, we are probably win or earn money several times. However, it is difficult to assume the success in gambling. People will always feel to earn more and more money, they will never feel enough to earn some money.  Grin

Having good self-control is the best tho , because it will definitely help to reduce losses because gambling often may only endup bringing more losses because most time losses is more common that wins , that's why you have to gamble wisely.
It is the main matter to have in gambling. Without good self-control, we may spend all the money in a day.  Cheesy
Sure, if we have good self-control, we can minimize the chance of severe losses. It is because we apply some limitations, both for the time and the funds to use for playing gambling games. If we have no limitation, we will try to gamble more and more. At the end of the day, we are probably gambling excessively.

What I will say with this is that the people who are trying to gamble and win money are POSITIVE in the short term, but reviewing all the games and possibly checking the wins, etc., it might be negative. You shouldn't treat gambling as something that you would need to depend on, especially if it's about earning money. It's better for entertainment only and not the income kind, IMO.

Most gamblers are positive while they are gambling because they have a winning mentality whether in the short term or long term, it's just unfortunate that they meet more losses in the quest to win. Just like it is always advised, we should treat gambling like something we can do away with, without feeling bad when we lose. It can become a problem if people focus more on winning and forget that it is a game of luck and winning is not assured. Gambling is supposed to be followed with a discretionary amount that you have kept out after meeting your most important demands so that it doesn't affect you emotionally when you lose and not make any profits from it.

When you gamble for entertainment there's this joy you get it's likewise applicable if you earn money out of it, but necessarily it shouldn't be a priority to gamble just for the sake of earning money. The thoughts of understanding a gamblers feelings is indescribable and unpredictable so coming down to gambling for money I have been successful but on rare cases tho, sometimes I think it's because I'm having self control over my gambling activities cause I barely gamble for the week and if I would do so it's just with what I can afford to lose,Beside other gamblers can gamble with high huge amounts and earn big or lose that's why I gamble with no intentions of earning.
Sometimes as a gambler, even when you are gambling for entertainment alone and when you have self-control over what you are doing, it will get to a point where you can question your main motive for gambling because of the type of choice you will be making.

Not because you are overspending, but if it's for entertainment alone, there are some game selections you make that ordinarily you shouldn't have.I always ask myself that question in some rare cases. On the other hand, regardless of what my gambling activities are like, I can say it's for both purposes, and in some cases I have made good wins, but if we are to add up all the spending and subtract the winnings, it will be obvious that we are on the losing side.
