In my opinion, hard work in gambling does not exist. I mean fair enough, you can be dedicated player with strategies in place and everything but at the end of the day the games are still based on probabilities and ultimately 'luck'.

Hard work cannot be put in gambling. Because in gambling, your mind is working not your body. We can say that before getting that money, it comes from your sweat, blood, tears, and basically hard work. But that doesn't mean that you put hard work to win in gambling, because if you do, you are not into gambling.

Because in gambling, you must put your mind into it. You must think exceedingly without having a doubt. You must put your 101% of trust and money.

And I've seen a lot who actually cracked it.

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.

You mean by luck or pure experience

Random results are obvious from gambling always hence targeting something with hard work is complete meaningless. No gamblers is ready to understand this fundamental of gambling that is the reason we are having such a topic of hard work for finding success in gambling.

If you consider clicking and typing (assuming you are online gambling because you want to be alone and not be bothered) to be hardwork, then it is. If you plan to study and create your own casino, I think that’s the best way I could think of to have the hardwork that you’ve done, worth it. You cannot have steady winnings in casinos, so don’t push too hard, IMO.

I agree.It would still be worthless for a gambler to make hardworks in gambling because it is not about a real profession,its only a form of entertainment.Gambling is mostly controlled by luck and not by the efforts being shown by the players.So hardwork will not really count in gambling.

People are not considering this and they will bother about their earning even it is from luck or through random. One thing i can say in trading there is no special room for hardworking because we do not keep any effort here to make money and every we can say is based on the luck we have.

But gambling does not require hard work because I have seen some gamblers spending long hours in innovating new strategies but they never found a method to crack profits, yes all their hard works ended in vain.

Bill Gates says he hires lazy people because they will always find the best way to do the least work and so find the most efficient process.  Compare that to this question and maybe the hard work is in not doing the simplest thing which is to bet always but to resist temptation and save yourself the loss sometimes.  The hard work is in when knowing to do less ?  

For luck basis game you don't need any effort, and the game results randomly as you said.

That's why I asked him if its about luck basis games, you can be lucky but we know that not all the time we're lucky correct?

You may not need an effort to win but still it's result is random.
