Money management can extend the life of the deposit, but you will not change the likelihood of losing in any way. The advantage of a casino is a constant indicator in any game (in the sense that a player cannot influence it). All these strategies and tricks taught by experienced players to beginners (often for money) are self-deception.

I agree with that, I was deceived that I can regain my losses through playing martingale because I can see that by doubling up you can regain all your losses with one bet, but it did not explain that I need a large bankroll so I can keep up, it took me some games before I realized that it will not work all the time, you can him some time but most of the time the strategy will not work.

I think sports betting are more popular than in the casino, most of the popular games in the casinos are the card games and those luck based games like roulette and the machines, you know what I'm saying.

Sports betting always belong to the skilled based type of game, one can succeed here if he has the right skills, it's not easy because according t the stats, lots of bettors are losing than winning, but the most important thing is we have a chance and there are people who succeed in sports betting.

Different games appeal to different kinds of people, there are many people that only want to relax and do not want to think too much when they gamble so they prefer games like dice and similar in which you do not have to think too much, but there are other people that prefer skill based games like poker or sports bets because even if they are not professional gamblers and they have no chance to become winners over the long term they still want to do what they can to improve their odds thanks to their knowledge of the game.

I don't quite agree with you. Luck can bring you a win, but you can't bet long on the distance with wires alone. Obviously, there is no guarantee of victory in betting and no one can give it. However, you can reduce the probability of losing with analysis, but it will always be there. Analysis will give you an understanding of what to look at and what factors can contribute to the result.

Money management can extend the life of the deposit, but you will not change the likelihood of losing in any way. The advantage of a casino is a constant indicator in any game (in the sense that a player cannot influence it). All these strategies and tricks taught by experienced players to beginners (often for money) are self-deception.

In a conglomerate luck influences, it is a factor that must be taken into account, statistics too, knowledge is also another factor, if we put these factors together we have to add the percentage that will always be that of the house, I think that to be a professional it is It takes a long time, the most feasible way is by playing or betting and having micro gains but taking into account that the bets or games have a higher efficiency index, the bad thing is when you play with a lot of money or bets with a lot of money and you lose more than what is available, there must be a loss control in each gamer.

Control is vital in order for you to stay in the game, professional bettors have that control, in fact I believe their bankroll is ready to withstand a long losing streak and they will not loss their focus as sports betting in order to be profitable too, you need to take it slowly but surely, and it should be a long term gambling which consistency is your main key to winning.

Sports betting will depend on luck many depend on this game but must have skills it is very difficult to win if you do not become proficient in gambling

If you're not proficient in gambling, you're doing a YOLO.

And that's confusing if you tell that sports betting depends on luck and you say that it's difficult if you're not skilled. But in reality, you need to be more skilled than to be lucky on sports betting.

It is why you'll see professionals in sports betting because it's better to be skilled on that niche than depending on luck.

IMHO, Luck is the most important in gambling regardless of what type it is. There is no guarantee that you will win 100% on sports betting no matter how skilled you are, Maybe 70% to 80% is your chance of winning if you are a good analyst but not necessary you can guarantee a won. Luck is the one who fill the remaining on the 100% winning probability and this is what people always missing out.

There's no sure/guarantee win in sports betting because it is a form of GAMBLING. You need to have a balance of that attributes if you want to become proficient on sports betting.

Gambling is a profession, I know. But this job is not long, and it cannot sustain you for life. Consistency needs training, but is it possible to deny the threshold of ambition? Very few people have success with gambling in both calculation and luck. So, entertain and stop at the right time. Gamblers are often rooted in nature. Grin

There are always both sides of the story. We know that it cannot sustain for life but you should ask someone who's been gambling all of his life and remains to be a gambler up to this time. There are ways that they can sustain their lives and if it's already their life, they can make a living from it and won't just give up when they lose. As you said, there are few people that are successful in making it a living so if they are, they are sustaining their lives through it.

They can only sustain if they themselves are making money in gambling.

No one can last long in gambling if he is risking a decent amount and not making money at all since the reality will bite us which is we lose in the long run, good thing for some people this is not a threat to them as in the long run they become more consistent and they are making money.

Even if we say that no one can last long in gambling, many people still play gambling and hope to make money from gambling. No matter how much money they already lose and will lose, they will come back and play the other gambling games. If they can not realize that, sooner or later, they can become addicted to gambling, and once they addicted to gambling, it is hard to stop their habit and solve the problem.

Gambling really attempts to attract and seduce people to come back over and over. And that will depend on how strong that person to stop gambling and not thinking gambling as a source of income.

The word "if" is a difference making, few will last because they are profitable, and that's the real definition of gamblers making a living or they call themselves professional but some are really professional but they are hiding their real identity, for them winning is what matters, they don't need to brag their success.

Gambling is played by many as a profession and by many as a form of entertainment. Sports betting will depend on luck many depend on this game but must have skills it is very difficult to win if you do not become proficient in gambling you just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people there are many professional gamblers who make their living by gambling it is better to take short term bets as you have to incur losses for long term holdings. All kinds of bets will benefit if you can master the right technique of the game.

No, luck is a part of the game. But you can minimize luck especially when it come to sports betting. There is a reason why people (even they are less) living from sports betting. They have a good knowledge and access to (mostly paid) statistics which help them to have an advance.

Sport betting is as much about knowledge about the game itself as it is knowledge about statistics, hoping to somehow become profitable in sport betting without a strong background on probabilities and statistics is a mistake, obviously luck still can play a factor but the whole point of sport betting systems is to reduce the luck aspect of the game because as we know this does not benefit the player especially during the long run.

There are a lot of bettors who gamble big money in sports and compared to casino, of course sports betting is huge since one can gamble at home and they consider sports betting as a game where they can capitalized on their skills.

When we talk of casino, first thing that will come out in my mind is a luck based games, yes because I don't play a lot of poker which some consider it a game that requires skills to win, I'm more on an easy game but when it comes to sports betting, this is my passion.

Sports betting or casinos can be considered as source of income for living, but the bitter truth, it requires patience and shouldn't go out of control. Most of the time people loss out of gambling due to emotional failure. This means people slowly make an earning, and by the end of the day due to greed of making big money and lack of self control empties the Wallet within minutes.

It can be. But not many people can be wise to use sports betting or casinos as their source of income because they want to win more after one or two wins on sports betting.
If they can hold their emotion from becoming greedy, they can use sports betting as a source of income, but they still manage their bankroll carefully.
It will no problem if they are slowly earning from sports betting because they will see that their income will become bigger, and once it becomes bigger, they should very carefully.

Sport betting is one of the few gambling games in which the player has an actual chance of beating the casino but it is not easy at all, as we know casinos are very good at placing the odds on each match which means that you will need to spend a lot of time in a lot of casinos trying to find the perfect odds for you, and even then there is no guarantee that you are going to win, but if you are able to administer your money and reduce the amount of losses that you get there is the possibility that you can become profitable.

That will depend on how good we control ourselves in placing the bet because once we make a mistake on the bet, we will lose the money.
Spending a lot of time in many casinos will not always allow us to find the perfect odds as the casino will not give that to you.
But we can select the recommended casino from the list that we got so we can place the bet on that casino.
But I am afraid that there are no perfect odds that can work for us as the casino will not let you win easily.

If you are good at analysing the matches you can always find a way to keep up with the sportsbooks,more years go by and you evolve,but sometimes when a bad streak strikes better to lower down the bet size and not to chase those losses.

still it's really dependent on luck, in my point of view.
wouldn't try to do it for a living, too risky... don't you think?

Yes, that is a very high risk to take, especially because you are relying on others skills and mindset to make profit. We never know for real how the players of a team are feeling physically and psychologically during a match, so everything can happens and someone's financial life shouldn't depend on that.
For this reason I think people who live from gambling probably rely more on their own skills, playing at cards games like Gin Rummy where they are on the control of the situation.

I have a friend that does Sports betting full-time and he specialize in horse racing, because he has been doing that for most of his life. He gets some inside information from the Jockeys that gives him a bit of edge over the other gamblers, but he rarely win something big.

I also have friends doing part-time Poker tournaments, but they say they will never do that full-time. The competition is just too tough and it only last for a few years. (Younger talented players are constantly pushing older players out of the circle and sponsors also look for young and new talent)

Will I do this full-time on what I get from gambling..... never! (I do it for the entertainment value, not as a job) Wink

I have a friend who lives out of online poker, it's not the healthiest lifestyle but he likes being his own boss.

he plays aound 9-12 tables at the same time and also teaches.
it's stressful because he plays many hours in a row.

No I don't think so, in casino gambling game I'm ok it's very hard to win on the long run because the probabilities are fixed and remain the same, but in activities where probabilities move like in sport betting you can win on the long run and even earn your life with it if you are able to better evaluate the probabilities than the bookmakers(and the edge they take).

That's why they're called professional gamblers, win or lose, they can tolerate the situation and they have long patience than us. A gambler can last long if he's even risking a decent amount because he can put it to good use unless he triggers his emotion.

Gambling is a place that arouses so much human nature, from greed, laziness to the desire to be rich overnight, it is the world of dreamer and finally, they end their lives in dreams, even when they wake up, it is too late, starting a new life was not possible and they continued to indulge in gambling. However, despite such warnings, life is too pressurized and poor, gambling continues to welcome a large number of dreamer, don't talk to me about the downsides or life always has two different endings, almost gambling brings only one outcome, failure and addiction, no career called gambling exists.

That is the risk of gambling which most of us know. But unfortunately, even we know about the risk, many of us are still playing gambling and not trying to stop for a while and leave it. We are pretending that we can use gambling as a profession and we try hard to make money. When we can win so much money, we forgot about how much money we already lost, and we still playing the other gambling games because we want to make more money.

It is normal if we dream of having a better life, but we will hard to get it from gambling, and many people already prove that is wrong. If someday you meet a person who can live from gambling and use gambling as his profession, he might tell you that using gambling as a profession is very difficult.
