Topic: Do you gamble to earn money? Have you been successful? - page 9. (Read 2500 times)
Not particularly to win money but it's also the reason for gambling and to be honest everyone's reason as well. I haven't been successfully in a way that I never made a win that can change the fortune of my life forever. I just play hoping to win one but not obsessed with the win alone, I knew that not everyone can get such wins and that's how the games are designed so just trying my luck until the day comes.
Nope, I didn't earn in the long run, so I'm not successful in terms of gambling for money.
It's really hard to make money from gambling, I salute for people who can make money from gambling especially they're not join any events or promotions which give them higher chance to earn.
Technically, if you can achieve break even in gambling (not loss or earn), technically you won against the casino because the system designed to make them will win.

Since I’m already earning, yes I gamble to make more money. But let’s make it clear, I have my stable job and I do gambling only whenever I have some extra funds to gamble. Losses are still inevitable, but the good thing is I’m now more capable winning more than losing a lot. Luck and sort of skills are the keys, and definitely being disciplined in gambling.
This is something that my boss always tells me, as a gambler if you don't have an income then you shouldn't be anywhere near gambling. Any deposit you make must go with a question in your head, what If this money doesn't come back? Do I have any other way to get it? Asking yourself questions like these would probably prevent you from making careless mistakes. From what you said it seems you earn more than you lose and that's not really common, is there some sort of strategy you use? And you made mention of skills so If I'm deciphering correctly you must be into sports betting.
Only people who do become successful with gambling are to those people who had been that doing good in sports betting and poker games or other card games or simply in strategic games in overall on which we know that this is the only way that gambling related games could make you sustain but of course only a few will be able to do it.This is why its not ideal that you do make yourself that being optimistic in regarding on achieving up such target.
Nice topic op. No one can be successful by gambling. But everyone hopes to win the big jackpot. And those who won big jackpots used them to gamble again and at some point lost it all again. Everyone wins in gambling but loses more. so on average very few gamblers can successfully profit from gambling. A regular gambler, on the other hand, can never be in the face mind. Sometimes you are depressed due to gambling losses and sometimes you are worried about how to manage your gambling money. Others borrow and gamble to pay off the loan even more in depression. A gambler is never successful after all

Yes, I gamble to win, but making money is not my main goal. If you could make money from gambling, then most people would probably get into gambling. Because, what could be as easy as gambling? None of your experience and knowledge will be of any use to win at gambling. Maybe, when you get lucky. From a distance, you see some people making money from gambling, there you only see their earnings inflated, but when you take a proper account of how much they have lost, you realize how much they have harmed themselves. Gambling is good for you as long as you take it as entertainment. If you take it to make money, you may be losing everything.
I can say it can be possible in sports betting but I would not use this kind of strategy in casino and slots because those are based on their system and they would not input something that is a losing system.
Sports on the other hand have many strategies that could make a gambler win it. There's basis on records that can predict an outcome of the game and there are analysts who are really good at it. I bet there are some who bets for sports and kept on winning it up until now but they will not let anyone know about it.

I may not be considered by others as successful gambler because I have losses and win sometimes. But that doesn't mean in my own perspective that I am sad and broke gambler. No, I am not and I am happy to do it from time to time because with all of the success that this world is giving us, we have to find an outlet to release that stress and find some things to make us happy. So, whether I bet for fun or for money, it's all good for me to be honest and that's giving me some satisfaction and happiness after all. And that is because the fun is in it and if I win the bets I make, I look at each of them as successful so definition of it varies per gambler.
Your mental approach is very good, you mustn't be seen or recognized as a successful gambler because you are not in competition with anybody, you don't do it to stroke your ego or pride, you are simply entertaining yourself. I think one problem with some gamblers now is that they try to out do each other forgetting that it's just a game of luck... No one can be crowned as the best or most successful gambler, iif gamblers had this type of mentality they wouldn't be losing carelessly, but i don't think gambling should be a source of happiness because overtime it might cause a dependency issue.
I'm not gambling with the hope of getting rich but for fun and for a side income, I win games but haven't been able to recover all or win upto the amount which I have lost during the time I was a newbie gambler, I do have both wins and loses but the rate of my winnings now are way higher than when I was a newbie base on the amount I used in gambling and the rate, maybe in the future I will be able to recover all, so in the overall view, I wouldn't say I'm successful until I have recovered or gain back more than I have lost, I'm still down on loses up to about a $100+

When gamblers are talking about skills, it's mostly about sport betting as there are very few other games that needs your skills for you to win. For the rest, you only have to depend on luck because there's no way you can know which bets are the winning numbers unless you're being told by an insider but there are some game were there's no way for you to know the winning tickets unless you're a future traveller, which isn't realistic yet.
No strategy can be guaranteed to have a 100% win ration hence don't bother asking about their strategy as it might also not be perfect for you when you try using it. Gambling to earn money or for fun when done moderating is no problem but how you're going about gambling that's the main problem because we're beginning to have more irresponsible gamblers as gambling becomes more popular and easy to play.
When was the last time you have made calculation how much was deposited and withdrawn in total? From what I see, people remember their losses, and rarely remember wins. I think if I look on my withdrawals minus deposits, total amount will be positive. I feel like on a distance I have earned with gambling. It will be wrong to count is as a money source or that I gamble to earn money, but I dont remember being disappointed with money losses, which means my gambling total is positive.
Do gamblers calculate their wins and losses regularly like once a month? I dont think there are gamblers who track their deposits and withdrawals.
The easiest way is just to look at our financial account such as bank account, if we feel that our money is reduced a lot while we feel that we do not spend much for daily life, it is simple sign that we are losing on gambling.
While if our financial account is increased significantly or at least it remains stable while we think that it should not be on that amount, it is a sign that we are on winning.
This is what I used to do when I was still gambling regularly, I do not track my deposits and withdrawal but I do the simple way by looking at my bank account.

And this happens to every gambler, every gambler thinks at first, "I'm just gambling for fun, and if I lose this money, I'll stop gambling", but they can't do it, when they win, they gamble greedily, and when they lose, they gamble emotionally. And only lose money. And in reality, this is what happens to most gamblers.
Although some people are able to control themselves and play within the right limits, and They are the only ones who can avoid big losses.
I don`t think so. It is just some part of the gamblers. Lots of others play easily, without any greed or sorrow. You`re talking mostly about gamblers, who became gambling addicts or near it. Although some people are able to control themselves and play within the right limits, and They are the only ones who can avoid big losses.
And there are people, who in gambling for profit. They very far from such emotions - gambling for them is a job and they have to do it qualitatively.
I just read this topic — Survey: Understanding Gamblers and Their Feelings
..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?

I can't say how much I've lost and how much I've earned; it's a recycling process, you win some and lose some to the house. Gamble with what you can afford to lose and target what you can't afford to lose.
This way, if you hit, it covers all your losses, and if you miss, you laugh and move on. This may be difficult for some to understand, but OGs will understand my statement.

Believe it or not, I gamble for fun and excitement. Having money on the line gives me that additional adrenaline and makes the sports event a bit more interesting to watch.
I also gamble to make money, I don't deny because I don't give money away when I win, I don't fund charities or something. If it wasn't for the money I'd have given away every win and just kept losing money
That said, money is not the only thing that matters here.
I pity people who bet and then take every loss hard, like it's the end of the world.
Betting is fun when it is practiced in a healthy way. Sometimes I use it to increase my logicality by comparing a lot of possibilities and arriving at a definite conclusion to place a bet and I'm very happy too when I win, at least something for the hustler. I try my best to gamble with amounts that means nothing to me, so that it doesn't get to me upon loss of such funds.I also gamble to make money, I don't deny because I don't give money away when I win, I don't fund charities or something.

Chasing losses s very bad. Gambling is not anyone's birthright, so it's not a must you would win, so accepting your losses are still very much as important as celebrating your wins in gambling. Also whether you're winning or loosing, you should be disciplined to leave the gambling session as soon as your session expires because prolonged stay beyond your schedule even when winning can lead you to overstay during losses and chasing your losses since there's no Moderation in your gambling life.

I think that's just the right approach. Gamble for fun and also try to win as much as possible. I don't believe that someone gambles just literally for fun because there's this thing that will make you angry when you lose, so it's not fun at all. It's either about their ego or the feeling of being robbed and that is why we must be careful with every bet that we will make even if we are having fun.

I do the same. I don't bet in large amounts because it's not like there's no tomorrow for me. Minimum bet amounts in slots and a max of $10 on sports betting. It's very rare for me to bet large amounts in sports betting too, I have to make sure that it has a high percentage of winning before I do that.
We gamble to have fun, and that fun, which we are enjoying, we place money to have that fun; the money we place bets with to enjoy the game, if there was no little chance and possibility for us to luckily get something out of it, the limit to which we play and the amount we spend will reduce that mindset we have inside of us, and the possibility of winning by chance is what keeps the zeal going for us to keep on playing.
Isn't the fun worth being paid for? Atimes the gambling settings gets confusing to people who wouldn't realize that they are not paying to get paid. It's a game, and whenever the house deems it right, they'll pay out to gamblers. However the casinos derives more profits from the player's expectance of winning. Additionally, the house makes it more difficult so as to prolong the time players spend wagering in the casino.

Now, those voters, have you been successful with making money with gambling?
If you feel this is unreasonable then I can conclude you are not one of those people who are addicted to gambling because it is impossible for the idea of making money to be applied in gambling and there are times when we will experience losses. Gambling is not a place where you can make money consistently and if you are involved in gambling just to make money then I am sure you will suffer many losses.Now, those voters, have you been successful with making money with gambling?
Sometimes it works but it is not always able to make money consistently in gambling because there are times when I also experience unexpected losses. The conclusion is that gambling cannot always provide victory so that getting money consistently in gambling is not possible all the time.
first for fun. then there will be a question, will gamblers still feel happy when they lose?
second, to make money, then a question will arise like the one asked by OP, have you made money from gambling?
I'm not a gambler who will bet all the time. only gamble when I want to do it. of course, the goal is to win some money from betting.
