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.
Yes, that's for sure, what I mean is if we talk about experience especially when we are involved in skill-based gambling such as sports betting then of course it can be used as a tool to better analyze each match that we will bet on but as you said that it is still not enough to guarantee victory, and the other positive side is that we can know more about what things or actions should be avoided in each particular situation.
On the other hand, for the matter of luck, honestly I can't tell whether you are a beginner or already experienced enough because if we talk about luck then it exceeds everything, I mean even those who are experienced can lose to beginners who have good luck even though it can't be known when it will come, regardless of whatever it is I will say one thing that success in gambling is not about how much you win but how smart you are in organizing and managing everything.
