Topic: How often is your luck in gambling? (Read 1944 times)

Interesting, though, that even though we know we may lose, the faint chance of victory keeps us back. Gambling is based on chance, not sure things. Hope typically trumps reality here. Why do we persist gambling when we lose? Excitement and the rare "big win" keep us coming back, right? Remember that self-control is a talent, not a choice. The appeal of "recovery gambling." is another major issue that nobody wants to discuss. The cycle is terrible: losses motivate people to get back on track, which causes further losses. In addition, we're gambling with our mental health. Before stopping or continuing, consider financial and mental investments.

Another reason to not accept monthly payments instead of a lump sum is that inflation will make that amount to buy less and less, and even if it is unlikely that out of control inflation will hit the US dollar during that period, it is also not impossible, so if given the option receiving a lump sum of money seems like the best choice if you got to win a big jackpot or the lottery.

However after receiving that amount of money is important to invest that money and only spend a small amount of it, as it is very common we see the opposite and the money runs out in just a few years.

Actually one of the leisure time of the filipinos here are having a good time taking a long line into a lottery and hold their favorite for a long time even though they just making a risk of around 0.30-0.50$ per ticket still they keep doing this as a habit, and many of them hoping at least 1 day this number they keep holding for a long time gives them a luck and hit a good amount of jackpot. If you ask them instead of save the money why you keep doing lottery they keep answering "wala namang mawawala" means there's nothing to lose on them just wondering their luck.


Just my opinion still ideal to work at least but not the old work that giving you a small amount of money instead having a business or investment with the large amount of money sure you can know properly manage because you came from a hard work experience.

If we gamble for long enough, we have the possibility of experiencing increased emotions and this will affect our gambling game, which it can cause us to lose more money. We must be able to control ourselves by managing the amount of money for gambling and even though we only use small bets, if we don't understand when to stop gambling, we are at risk of losing a lot of money. It will be even greater if we cannot stop gambling games because of the pleasure we get from gambling games.

If we have been gambling for a long time but never or rarely get big wins, we have lost a lot of money in gambling games so we have to think about what we are really looking for in gambling. If we still want to have fun, we can continue gambling. If we feel that it is just a waste of money, especially if we never win big, we should immediately decide to reduce our gambling activities or even stop gambling. And the casino will not force you to continue gambling, especially if you have experienced repeated losing streaks. But because of our greed or the desire to recover losses, we return to gambling another day.

If that's the case that your winning money is not given in a lump sum amount then it's best not to quit your job for now. Make a solid plan on what you will going to do in the future and If you want to earn more while receiving installment amount from your winning worth $6.6k monthly, better to continue what you are currently doing right now. In that way, you will be able to earn from your job while having extra funds, you may invest it to properties, crypto, and Build a business that you want so when the time comes that you want to quit your job, you can definitely say that you are financially stable in your life.

Ive been planning to post in this topic for a long time, but resisted because I dont understand the question What kind of answer does OP expect? Philosophical or numeral? My luck in gambling is determined by the amount of times I withdraw, meaning I have deposited, gambled and did no lose Or I am lucky in gambling every time I gamble with faucet funds, because I dont gamble with own money.


If I my jackpot is 2 millions, but I'm gonna receive only 6.6k during 300 months, then I am not gonna quit gambling or job. This looks like a bonus, then a real jackpot. With extra 6.6k a month a still wont be able to afford many things. Still it will be buying stuff in credit and overpayment of interest.

Basically luck is always unknown, it comes and is not picked up and goes home it is not delivered, meaning you will not know when luck will come and when  luck will disappear, that is a strong reason why the final result of a gambling session is about winning. and lose, and maybe now you or  they already know the reason why you can't maintain your luck at certain times. And once you understand this, I think you will no longer be interested in making previous mistakes such as continuing to play to chase victory or to determine whether luck is still on your side or not.

Of course that's true, with your method like that, I'm sure that soon you will enter the addiction  phase because you are too addicted, not everyone succeeds in not following their curiosity, and usually they will fail to control themselves. I think it is a fact that this is the starting point for a gambler to become addicted, agree it is true that losing control will destroy everything and I think that applies to anything.

Experience is key and there is no substitute for it, luck or not, you have to know what you are doing and plan your way around it for you to ascertain if you are even on the right part or not. It is after this that you would be waiting on the outcome but never anyone thinks about luck in any guise as the hero in gambling, it may occur but the strategy and plan on how to gamble well and be productive should be the priority of any gambler.

Luck is just a circumstance, something one cannot feel, summon or control, it shouldn't even be talked about not to say that anyone should believe that their outcome depends on it. I see luck as a mere expression to qualify what happens to the game but in the real sense, the gambler who permutated and combined efforts to play the game in the first place wasn't a dummy when he was playing the game and using his God's given brain to put things together in getting such an outcome. For me, the work done by the player deserves appraisal as the effort of the players in relation to the opportunity that presented itself at that time gives the outcome and not the luck per se as people perceived. Something they couldn't even feel or know how it functions, it's just an expression nothing more.

Is it certain that if you gamble for a long time, you will get lucky?
I think even beginners can get a win if they are lucky, for example, suppose there is a gambler who has been gambling for a long time and has never gotten a big win, even though he has spent a lot of money on gambling and even sold all the things he had just to gamble but still did not get the big win that everyone wants. They will learn the algorithm of the gambling site, it will not be easy to realize learning the algorithm, because most of those who gamble do not think about this, they just focus on each round by expecting a big win. It is true what you said, if they have continuous losses in the sense that luck has not been on their side, they should pause to take a short break from gambling to calm their minds and emotions that have risen, but it is difficult for this to be realized by gamblers especially with those who cannot control their emotions so they play the game endlessly, that way they will lose a lot of money and get defeat in the end.

"Gamblers can use a small amount of dollars at their initial stage to a gambling site. So he can easily win the game in a short time." if they are lucky, because in my opinion it is not easy to get a win even with a small amount. Even so, it does not rule out the possibility that they will get a win, especially easily. Even for experienced gamblers, it's not easy to get a big win. And that's the premise in my opinion.

No one has any method to manipulate their luck, even the professional gamblers have no methods to do that and instead concentrate on what they can control and get really good at it, and if anything they can win despite their bad luck.

So it is imperative that anyone that has any desire to try to become a professional understands this, because if they do not and they still try to obtain profits while gambling, chances are they will make a great deal of mistakes along the way, and that is money that most likely they will never recover.

Quite often I used to be in luck, but I don't know to maintain the luck. I just do the wrong by placing bets continuously. At times I even spend on unknown games and on sports events that I don't have much knowledge. This is kind of addictive move and this is where I fail and I need to control myself to be on that profiting side. I'm personally feel lucky with gambling, but my loss of control ruin my wins.

I think still depends from how luck will back your sessions,  even a newbie can hit the jackpot and enjoy  his winnings, though we can say that experience gamblers do have some small edge against those newcomers,  like what you said, they can use previous experience to anticipate and maybe possible to be more familiar with how the game works and what will be the possible strategy  that may work for them and let them win from the house. Not always though as there's no such kind of outcome when you are dealing with gambling. But yes, experienced may give them that kind of opportunity to anticipate and make a good use of it to assess the potential outcome.

The gambler who had their long run in the gambling will get the luck,the gambler who was new to the gambling sites and make use of the less dollars won't get the big win most of the time.After some continuous loss the gambler will learn the correct algorithm of the gambling sites.So this help the gambler to make the real tactics to tackle the algorithm.If the gambler had realised he doesn't have the luck in the current time,he should get some pause in the game play of the gambling sites.The gambler can use the small amount of the dollars at their initial stages to the gambling site.So he can easily earn the game in the short period of time.The same will help the gambler to make the big win from the gambling sites using the experieenced gained from the loss games.

I think that luck goes out of the window when you gamble long enough, because it allows you to make sure that you are dealing with something that could turn it all around, and you should be careful about it. I personally believe that the best thing to do regarding gambling would be calculations, if you make calculations that are in regards to this, then we are going to end up with something that could change it all together.

I realize now that if you could gamble for long enough time, the house edge will be the result, that is what you are getting every single time. Surely, you are not getting that with just a small amount of bet, but if you gamble for years, and bet thousands of times, you are going to end up losing, that is a mathematical truth that can't be changed. The casinos are telling you this, they are not hiding that fact, and the more people gamble at their casino, the more they will earn. This is why they make wagering competitions.

There is no need to quit what works or what pays the bills as long as it doesn't harm you or cause some damage to you nor your lifestyle. The only reason why one will quit is to build something bigger and better or when an offer better than what you currently enjoy is offered.

Bounty hunting, to me, isn't gambling, its part of the regular jobs people do, its just that the way its been regulated is not structured to any particular industry but the process is pretty transparent enough

This is similar to what we see with trading as well, in which once a trader develops a strategy they can use it to trade the markets and beat them consistently, and the last thing they want to do is to bring any undesired attention to themselves so it is easier to keep their secret.

And professional gamblers are the same, since the profits they can get out of their hobby are considerable, and they will refuse to share their secrets with anyone else, as it is likely it took them years and several losses to create that winning method and it will be unfair in their minds to give up their secrets just like that to others that did not had to suffer as much as they did.

Playing the lottery of course, requires luck so even if we continue to buy the lottery regularly, it doesn't guarantee we can win. We have seen people buy lotteries in the hope of being one of the winners but it takes work because they need luck to win. And it is true that when someone wins the lottery, it will be a way to change their life because they managed to get a lot of money. And talking about luck, only a few people can be lucky in gambling because luck will only come to the right person and not to people who really try to get their luck. Luck often comes to people who have no intention of gambling and just want to spend a short time. But they turned out to be lucky.

You are lucky if you win a few times especially, in casino games. Because there are other gamblers who have not won any and some just only once before they were able to withdraw.
My luck was gone ever since I became a VIP, I guess the giveaway from the rakebacks, weekly, and monthly is all the profits that I could get. But last week, I got to prolong a $5 capital and made a $200 wager which I think is a decent number for a small balance. But again, it always ends up with a loss. I have never even got the chance to make it $10 while playing small wager bets. It got to $3 then it just goes back and forth to $5 until a losing streak comes even if I keep on switching on any games.
I guess I reached the right amount of wager for the gambling site to take all the money. Now, I am just waiting if all that effort is worth it when I see my monthly prize.

So far I have played many lotteries to create a chance to change my luck but without any success. Not only in lottery but also in gambling sites my luck is not good. Maybe gambling is against me, but betting matches usually go in my favor even when the outcome of the gambling is against me. I now bet on various sports to change my fortune. Most of my bets are on football and cricket matches. I don't take the risk of betting on matches where both teams have equal chances, but I usually bet on matches where I have a better chance of winning. For example India Pakistan cricket match is always very exciting especially in this type of match I don't bet as the result of such match can go in favor of any team in a moment.

And if we track our performances, sometimes it's hard to extract and absorb all of those results that we're getting because at most times we don't get the luck that we are thinking that we deserve.

Even if we have done the mistake and we're wrong with the move we did for our bets. We are going to be in denial for so many times just for us to satisfied ourselves based on the results that we've got. We don't want to look at those bad results because it will tell us on how bad gambler we are and luck isn't with us and that's why if you track your own performances, don't be biased to yourself because it happens mostly.
