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 cannot get rewarded for studying games in gambling.
Platforms work with different rules and they have different house edges and algorithms behind. So whatever you study and how much time you spend on it, it will never pay back.
There is some sort of learning from the gambling also. You should know about the odds and how to play different games like poker etc. What are the different strategies and when to quit etc. In short, Luck will also favor those who has knowledge of gambling.
