As usual and as in general that those who are addicted have a different mindset from others, they always overthink, create their own assumptions and expectations, not in accordance with the facts that always happen, cannot accept advice from others that their decisions are really wrong and out of control. Simply put, those who are already addicted do not want to lose but on the other hand always create new hope and enthusiasm and say "maybe today is unlucky", it's that easy for them to encourage themselves, even though on the other hand it happened not just once or twice, and yes I said they like creating traps for themselves.

Often end up disappointed? obviously that's for sure because this is just a purely luck-based activity, if you pursue victory it doesn't necessarily work because there is no real certainty whether you will be lucky or not, always put high hopes? it looks like you have to check your mindset on specialists, how can your expectations be so high while gambling runs only depending on how lucky you are. Especially in slot games, it is very difficult to conquer and not recommended, but it's up to you if you really have the ability to bad results at the end of the session then do it, hopefully this session you are lucky.

There is never a guarantee that you will be a successful gambler and always make money in gambling in the long term. For this reason, it isn't correct to say that a person is completely successful in gambling and it is never possible to be completely successful in gambling.

In order to say that a person is a successful gambler, that person must not be addicted to gambling and must have good risk management. In other words, if a person can ideally control his/her capital when he/she gambles and doesn't become addicted to gambling it will be possible to say that that person is a successful gambler. Yes, being able to manage risk management is a success but it would be more accurate to say that a person in this situation is a successful gambler rather than that he/she is successful in gambling.

I'm not sure if I could explain exactly what I mean but the most basic thing I want to say is that it isn't possible for a person to achieve regular success in gambling. In other words, if we think that the criterion of success is to win regularly it would definitely not be right to use this term for anyone but if the criterion of success is good risk management and not becoming addicted to gambling, then it would be correct to say that a person is a successful gambler.

For a newbie, I think they'll mess it up first before they know how expensive it was to just let the greed consume them. It's best if they learn it first-hand themselves, they'll surely grow in the process and for sure will engage in healthy gambling the next time around.

This is especially true if decide to play slots, or some other lucky-based games. If someone hopes to win too much, the disappointment will only be greater, and with lucky-based games there are no guarantees, especially with slots. When I decide to play slot I expect to lose my deposit, maybe that sounds crazy, but I know my chances... I play them because I like to play slots, and if I win it's a really nice surprise.

People who wish to have higher chances of winning should try +EV games.

Yah that's right, if you have this mentality you will never get addicted to gambling. Just think that your loss in gambling is compensation for the entertainment that gambling gave you. Don't expect a big win here because your money will surely run out if you think about gambling like this.

Well your question is very appropriate in this discussion, honestly I also never thought and did not really believe if there were people who were successful in gambling, this is personally and according to my own perspective. Let's think logically, the first point is that gambling is random in terms of winning and for the results it will always depend on how lucky you are at that time, the second point is that there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone to be able to win there, and the point when there is no certainty for anyone to achieve the results they expect. Honestly, I don't really care if they are responsible gamblers or not but even if you are responsible, this activity is really not recommended, no one will be able to achieve success in gambling because there is no element of success at all such as the process to achieve their goals and also on the other hand how could they seek success in a place that only relies on luck for the expected results? And there is also no consistency in it, the fact is that defeats will occur more often than the occasional victory and with this it can be concluded that there is no consistency in achieving something in the final session, everything will go randomly about how lucky you are at that time. Does this make sense? Think about it.

Of course my friend, that is the best way to be a responsible gambler, and for anyone who only allocates a small amount like 5% of their money to gambling then I think they will avoid addiction, provided they always gamble with the amount they can afford to lose. Because with that I am sure from the beginning you have agreed with yourself that for whatever the result is, especially the loss, you will not mind accepting that fact. As in general, usually people who put large amounts they want a big win and not come for fun, we can see that usually people like that actually experience a lot of losses with large amounts, none other than that happens because basically it's like you said they came with ridiculous intentions, how could they think that they could make money from gambling? yes I understand that for occasional wins it is possible but if you want to be consistent then it seems like your mind is disturbed. So better reconsider, there is nothing better unless you stop or just reduce it.

I wouldn't use the word success as a gambler but it should be a disciplined gambler, This is because when you are disciplined in whatever that you are doing, you will do it with care and take some risk management into consideration before coming to conclusion and finally, it can lead to success.

There are different ways in which one can discipline himself in his gambling activities by set a time limit for his gambling, only use the amount of money that he can afford to lose to gamble and that gambler should never allow himself to be carried away by his emotion and start chasing his losses. With this three orientation, it can help you to be disciplined on your gambling activities so that you don't end up becoming an addict. Then maybe someday, you might hit it very big.

What can we call success in gambling?
° Is it been a responsible gambler with falling to addiction all the years of your gambling?
° Is it even capable of having winnings and making money out of gambling that can be referred to being successful?
I wish to know as a result of how success in gambling could have variance to people.
I endeavor to use 5% of my  income monthly for gambling I don't have to exceed my bankroll be it in loss or winnings knowing that there are still other days to continue with my gambling. Gamblers that worry letting it to get a better part of their feelings are those that take gambling as a means to make money and when the money is not forth coming it becomes a problem for them.

Besides effectively managing bankroll, mindset, and control of the urge to extend are very important is also important, I remember that I always extend my session and keep losing my bankroll, because I'm having a hard time managing my urge to stop gambling, especially on weekends when you can play the whole night because of rest days.
This is the start of addiction when you cannot control your urge and you don't know how and when to stop, you will find yourself deep into addiction and this is because of keep extending your time and not controlling the urge to continue.

Lately there is an understanding that I have heard some gamblers talk about especially in soccer bets. They believe that having lesser games and staking a little more higher help to limit the losses chances and then boost the potential winning. Like for instance instead of gathering odds that amounts to 20 odds, they could bet on only 2 odds in total and truly there is chance to win more than multiple of 20 odds. For such gamblers who have diverse means of such kind of betting using increased bankroll, gambling is not just for fun or entertainment but they want to win and profit from the games they bet as well.

Yeah, maybe we have read success stories here, like winning big or let's say in sports betting wherein you hit a good parlay and x100 or higher. But there are also horror stories wherein someone could have lost a big amount of money that is supposedly to be used for something important but the gambler chooses to take a big risk. So it's really up to us whether to listen from that stories and then learn a thing or two.


Of course you should learn how to mitigate risk as well and not just bet all your money. That's why the advise is just play with the money that you can afford to lose and just enjoy and be entertained. If you are lucky then good for you. But gambling is not something that you can really depend or rely upon as far as making like money to bring food in the table for your family. You need self control and not be carried away, and on worst case scenario, be a gambling addict.

Bankroll management for newbies is the most challenging, it's hard to keep or maintain the percentage that you are going to spend, and newbies get excited that they forgot the plan they laid out when it comes to bankroll management, from this point or phase, where newbies can develop their control and discipline themselves, they will either go astray or become a responsible gambler.
Bankroll management and controlling your time can only come if you have other endeavors in your life, newbies should always remember that there is more to life than gambling, gambling is for enjoyment only, and gambling is not for making money, getting a job, or launching a business is the right way to make money.

But the thing with gambling is that no one's consistent. This is true, you may be a good gambler today and tomorrow you'll hate yourself for being unlucky and having more losses than you can ever imagine. And even with that, that's still healthy gambling because if you're not experiencing both then there's something wrong with you.

That is only if they want to listen to others' experiences. Because the typical ones don't want to listen to anybody and all they listen is to themselves. They honor the experience of others but if tips are given to them, it is unlikely that they're going to listen. And that is because their reasoning could be it is their money, it is them to believe and not with your money and your belief.

Bankroll management is actually a good skill, yes, it's a skill since it requires you to manage your own bankroll. And from being a good one with that, you also need to be good in decision making. Because when you gamble, it is all about mix feelings and results and as I've said about decision making, the outcome of your bets will affect it because it can pull you out of good move and make bad decisions.

What is your game? The advice you give is useless if you are going to play roulette. Well, maybe to make your money last a little longer. But I think you're lumping all gambling together and that's not the case.

You are probably a sports bettor or you play poker.

Anyone that wants to be successful in gambling should go and open a gambling site if he has all necessary things that are needed for it. For gamblers, they will lose more than gain if they think of gambling as a way of having success. Gambling is just a way of having fun and entertaining yourself. You are right that there is always a house hedge.

The real purpose of gambling is for entertainment and not to achieve success. Even though there are people who have succeeded in getting success from gambling, that doesn't mean other people can get it too. Not many people can learn more about gambling, especially those who specialize in learning one gambling game, such as cards.

Most of them will lose when playing gambling. And if that's the case, they don't need to continue achieving success from gambling. They should seek success in work or business. That will provide more opportunities for them so they can make money.

The most important thing about gambling is how you can control yourself while gambling. In addition, you need to reduce the risk of losing money from gambling. This is difficult because many people become tempted to continue gambling. And that causes them to lose more money.

You must be referring to a gambling called sports betting, because you can't use "finding value" on games that are purely based on luck. And yeah, bankroll management is very important as that would show how discipline we are as a bankroll, if we are good in managing the bankroll, the only factor that we need to consider next is finding value on match up, means we have to win more bets than we lose.

Seriously this issue of success in gambling needs to be clarified. Gambling is a game of chance and even the most experienced and disciplined gamblers can experience losing streaks. Majority of us believe that winning money is the ultimate goal of gambling and that's what we consider being successful in gambling forgetting that the odds are usually stacked against the player. Even the best gamblers lose more often than they win. I think it's just better to approach gambling with realistic expectations and to focus on having fun rather than just trying to win because staying positive and consistent can actually help you avoid making emotional decisions when you're losing but it's not a guarantee of success.

Good sincere advice! I would advise all beginners the following: imagine one of your hobbies that helps you avoid stress. For example, this is buying delicious food. Let's say you spend $50 a month on it. And now think about it, if you play gambling for a similar amount - will you have enough fun? Note that I suggest in no case to consider gambling as earnings. I suggest understanding how much you can potentially spend, and how well you will have a good time. If you think that for $ 50 you will get a lot of fun, then so much can be postponed for gambling. The main thing is not to wait for a win, but to just want to have a good time for this amount. And you need to mentally say goodbye to this money.

Having patience and sticking to healthy gambling habits can make for a more controlled, maybe even satisfying, gambling experience.  But it depends on what you want to get out of it.  Just remember - being successful at gambling doesn't automatically mean you'll make money. There's always risk involved when you gamble, and the house tends to have better odds than you.


What do you mean by 'value will catch up'? Could you elaborate on that?
