Topic: Does hard work in gambling count? - page 15. (Read 12175 times)

Gambling is something which you make money on the spot or lose 100 percent of your money .

Many of games does not require any strategy and are purely luck based games. Some of the cards games do require strategy and experience which will help you to win the match .

Instead of hard work one should be doing smart work and decide which is better game which will give better chance of winning.

Agree skill based games need some experience but of course since it's a gambling, you still need luck or a combination of both. But if you study a game like dice, even if how many years you will put on research, it doesn't make sense because it's a luck base game.

Correct. The house always win.

Where is the hard work there?

Hard work is a great deal of effort or endurance and either of these two is not applicable to gambling since effort is not a thing on gambling either endurance. Hard work may work to some jobs that really requires effort and endurance but if we will be only talking about strategies and intelligence, that is not hard work. Also, even if you use strategies and intelligence of these games that you've said, you also require a huge amount of luck since even if you have a good effort and strategy, if you are not lucky you might not be able to win.

Some games do use pure chance or luck just to win, like lotto, plinko, dice and so on. how strong you try and make a strategy, it won't change the chance in your win but there are some games in gambling that use strategies and your intelligence in playing like poker. your hard work might change the chance to win

No, it is almost impossible, at least for me, i think that there is no way that you can win to the house.

Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose, but most of the times you are always going to be the losing one, because that is the trick and the way that all those casinos earn their money.

So, welcome to the capitalist era, that is how things works

I know its hard but if other people can make money in gambling then it's possible.
Of course we should know our skills if we can make consistent money in gambling, there are a lot of games in gambling, if we can master one
and will make us win consistently then it should easily bring us decent profit.

I am curious to know if someone continually invested a lot of time in studying a game involved in gambling, further if he had played the game a lot to understand the intricacies involved, then can we call him an expert in that gambling game? If we do call him an expert then we clearly differentiate his experience and expertise from that of a novice. This clearly shows that the person is capable of winning more as an expert than the novice who really does not have the in-depth understanding of the play.

This brings us to an interesting question if hard work in gambling really pays off? If one puts in a lot of efforts to understand a game involved in gambling, does it mean that all his time has gone down the drain? Certainly no. If gambling were simply a blind guess or a wild shot then even years of studying it makes it useless because one is simply guessing the outcome blindly. But such is not the scenario with gambling in reality. What makes hard work count in gambling?

This further sets off the question of addiction in gambling. Work can also be an addiction for many. But here the addiction could be for perfecting the game and the art of playing. This kind of addiction is to struggle every time for success by proper calculation and review. However, addiction can also be due to pure greed of winning with no clear knowledge of the game. If hard work counts, then we may actually find a solution for a healthier addiction towards success in gambling.

We can't really say completely that we can be a successful gambler since there are a lot of times that people who are aiming for these position that flops down, most of them regretting that they've even gamble. Gambling is a good source of income, it is efficient and don't require any energy just skill, knowledge, skill and especially luck but we all know how low the percentage of winning here right? Better keep myself from these games since I can't risk my money on luck-based games, better work on my investing and trading skills.

I don't usually focus on that kind of games as I know my chances is very less and I will loss in the long run.
There are skilled based games, if I aim to become a successful sports gambler in the future, I will focus my time on it but of course with limitation.

Some games do use pure chance or luck just to win, like lotto, plinko, dice and so on. how strong you try and make a strategy, it won't change the chance in your win but there are some games in gambling that use strategies and your intelligence in playing like poker. your hard work might change the chance to win

well, gambling envolves so many games that it is impossible to answer this question...
If the game is run by pure chance, it will be difficult to have any results by working hard...
I am not a gambling person, but a friend of mine has dedicated himself to learn and improve his poker game with good success... but poker has a great deal of math and probability... not only chance...
cheers and good luck on your gambling 

The only thing that is going to matter during gambling is luck. Even if you do some hard work, there will be little impact of any of that. In the end, we need to realize that gambling is a hobby rather than an avenue to make money.

I definitely agree to you on this one. There are gambling games that can be won with enough research using stats and more but on games of chances like dice and roulette as you said, no matter how hard the work is given, the chance of losing is still greater than your chance of winning even on a game with only 1% house edge

someone who continues to focus on gambling they can certainly find a solution to play with the right calculations and reviews, this causes his addiction to gamble only to perfect the game and look for gaps in playing style with mature strategies. another case with people who are addicted to gambling only hopes for victory, it can have a bad impact because they continue to play greedy without calculation.

Yes that lucks always matter, but there are many people who did hark work to master a game to able to make more money or have advantage to other player specially in offline gambling. But in online gambling i think this is only pure base on the luck of player.

It is the luck that decides the fate whether you will win or not . Very few games where your skills comes into play and which will help you to win the game and poker is one of them where experience and skill is very useful to make you win the game .
