Topic: Is gambling all about luck? - page 29. (Read 6421 times)

If they deliberately take the risks involved in gambling, it means they are ready to lose the money they put in, but there are people who can't accept the losses they get. are they not ready for the risks involved in gambling?
To get the jackpot is certainly not easy, because this is slot gambling where luck has a big role, even if they use a lot of money to pursue a big win or jackpot but luck is not in their favor, they still won't get the big win called the jackpot. And vice versa, even if someone has strong luck in their favor even with a small amount of money they can get that big win, but I see slot gambling streamers who use capital even up to millions of dollars, they don't hesitate with the amount of bets they play, maybe they work with slot companies to advertise their company, and also I see that streamers always get winnings, although the winnings I know are difficult to get. If you have a lot of time on your hands, you should make sure that you have a good idea of what you are going to do.

Therefore, the slot machine works randomly and the slot machine itself is set to make a profit for the company, the chances of the players getting a profit are very small, unlike companies that always win in their spins. with its random performance in each spin, there will be empty spins and spins that get small wins, and big wins are very rare in slot gambling.

Well, that shows that everyone's luck is different, right? where our friends who are struggling in gambling financially, maybe they will be lucky at some point in the future and it is not predicted either, while we ourselves are not sure that we will be lucky at gambling, and as a result we get luck at work whether it is a monthly salary increase, a promotion , bonus or something else.

Luck is very important in gambling and we should be ready to use it significantly for us to become a consistent and profitable gambler. It is not easy to be making consistent profits as a gambler but their are so many things that can trigger us to be making sharp profits. There are bets we can gamble on that we need skill to win and we can nit ignore that even though we have luck that would trigger our winnings but without skill, it could be very hard for us to make profits as a gambler. It is important for us to do things that would trigger us to be a better gambler.

Yes, I know I am not the only one who may tried to go that way and got burned in the process, that makes me feel a lil bit better. It was not much money, but still got me blue for a while. In my opinion, it is better to learn those kind of lessons as earlier as possible before one gets too enthusiastic and start to exponentially increase the wager without thinking about the consequences.

I am not sure if it has also happened to you, but that initial experience made me think about switching from dices and plinko to sport-betting, but I am afraid I still do not have enough experience to put money on the table when comes to football or e-sports. What about you? did you feel the same about changing your patterns or games when you first had that bitter experience?

Hispo, sad to know that you learnt the hard way but that's what it is statistically speaking, so sooner or later it was very likely to happen. I have also done that before, like: 97.5% of chances of winning, and roll just a few times. Fortunately I stopped before I lost everything, because I was aware of the probabilities, but it could've gone wrong in the first roll. Not only, but especially in the games that are purely based on luck, one must be aware of the risks, responsible for accepting the consequences, and financially able to manage them.

Winning and losing in gambling depends on how people manage risks and predict games. It's stressful to think gambling is mainly on luck. We gain authority in gambling when we feel in control of the game by devising a strategy to follow the house. Playing solely on luck wouldn't yield us enough profits. But, a gambler can have few observations on the game they normally play as gamblers. Given time, they'll be able to follow their instincts and try to win some more. Because we ain't sure whether we'll win or not, doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to win. Gambling to win money, isn't bad, abusing it is wrong. So, if a gambler turns losses to be win and win losses what would his reactions be? I think more happiness. As awkward as it may sound, the more we are celebrating losses we tend to win due to the benefits of a relaxed mind is calculated predictions. Playing games just because we want to gamble, can be different for individual gamblers. Some stake without calculating, for the fun. While others try to understand why their instinct suggests they play a specific game. Hence as gamblers, we have different motives and perspectives. Figuring out the unique reasons why people engage in gambling differs, but a good number play for the money. And also many gamblers have won big money via gambling. Where the game gets more interesting is, winning big more often. There the players don't solely depend on luck, but techniques and valid moves that'll help them stay rolling as gamblers.

Yes, there's the adrenaline that a gambler feels when he/she experiences the entertainment, the way of making money in gambling and that's just the start. It's not all about luck and what you are about to gain but the overall experience is what makes someone go back to gambling whether he wins by luck or not, as long as they are decides to get back on it.

If you are having a hard time stopping, you should be aware of what you are because if you can't stop yourself. Then, you're going to have a hard time managing everything that's related to gambling for yourself. Because that's how it starts when a gambler becomes addicted, whether we like it or not, there are impacts that you're not going to like. It's okay to crave and want to play but when you get into actuality, make sure that you are doing it and everything is still in control.

Keeping in mind that nowadays there are many games and set of games which allow gamblers to manage risk, like plinko and dices, we as gamblers we can actually control how risky we want to get in a specific session. Still the laws of probabilities apply not matter how safe we want to gamble in a casino. It is something I have learnt the hard way while going for small multipliers in dices and using a relatively high wager. It is just matter of time before bad luck catches up.
Also, those how manage to get much money out casinos are the ones who got luck once or twice and then now and how to quit from gambling. Anyone who is not willing to set a limit to their gambling sessions and only thinks about getting profits should stay away from gambling.

I agree with you to some extent and still disagree with you somehow. Yes, it is all about luck, chance and increased knowledge and understanding as you pointed out here, but I will let you know about something, the gambling algorithm isn't solo, there are more than one gambling programs available for  particular gambling entity. These casino owners aren't fools at all man, when they begin noticing that users are predicting accurately the running algorithm pattern, they will change it to an entirely new one and that's why at some point you think you've learned enough and you're recording good wins, only to be surprised as things turn out and you start loosing heavily. the truth is that the software has been changed to the one you are not familiar with to help them keep profiting from the users funds.

As a gambler then in my country playing virtual games at betting shops, I observe the shop owners codedly changing the game plates when they sense they are paying out so much to the customers and I know very well that these online casinos aren't left out of that recovery tactics, lest people who have gambled for years on a single algorithm would hardly record losses as they have seen various combinations and can predict accurately. These guys are smarter than you think, know this and know peace.

gambling by just relying on luck will feel difficult, just imagine how long your luck will last, when you are tired there is a big possibility that your luck will run out and you will end up making big losses, even though you are playing slots (which many people say is a 100% luck game) you still have to have a good strategy to stay in the game, try not to run out of capital in a short time. The gambling you do will only be in vain if the strategy you use is not right and you only rely on 100% luck.

There is nothing wrong if you want to earn from gambling as long as you have a budget for it and it should be only 3%-5%, you should not exceed your budget. Always set a limit.
We all want to win in gambling and that will not be lost to a gambler. I believe that there are people out there who win a lot of money in gambling, not only do we know when we will win big, it is also true that gambling is all about luck, you never know when you will get lucky.

It doesn't make sense for someone to say that gambling is "sometimes about luck", if that's true then that means there's more to winning than luck, are they assuming that strategy and gameplay can play the same role as luck in terms of the final outcome? If you're playing on a purely luck-based bet then I'd say that idea is wrong, but if you're betting on sports-based gambling then maybe there's some truth to it.

Basically whatever the bet and wherever you bet the most important thing that can change the final result that can make you smile is nothing more than luck and nothing else. I quite often bet on sports even though I am very confident in my skills and knowledge but not infrequently I experience disappointing results, and that can be a strong reason why luck is very important, whatever the bet is still the final result will refer to how lucky you are at that time. Don't overthink it because after all you can't know when luck will come and it's better to emphasize the limits and controls you have.

I wouldn't want to say "sometimes" it's all about luck, because we need it everytime. Though there is something we can do to minimize the risk of lossing by doing some extra research like in sports betting to analyze the match up and better understand the odds, but that doesn't guarantee the winning either, so we always need that luck for us to get the win.
Same goes with card games. Again, you can do something to beat your opponent by either bluffing or playing it calmly all of the time to trick your opponent, but still you need luck with the cards on your hand and in the deck.

You’ve got to have some luck for you to win. But I don’t think it’s all about luck. Even combined with inspiration doesn’t cut it sometimes. You’ve actually got to put in some work with figuring out the best odds and chances for your predictions. And figuring out the best bets to play is no easy work too and it hurts a bit when the predictions you’ve painstakingly tried to put together thinking it foolproof fall apart and lose.
It now seems luck plays a larger role than the work put in doing research to get predictions to bet on.

The luck was suitable one to the gambling for the specific game and not to all the game.So the gambling site is not purely based on the luck,it also depending on the tactics used by the gambler.The tactics itself need of the continuity,if the gambler was stop or keep some gap between each gambling means the tactics will be forget by the gambler.The gambler who had huge experience in the gambling will do the practice of gambling game tactics daily.So he may remember of the tactics to the gambling,if the gambler get money he should remember of the tactics to make money from the gambling site.My opinion is tactics also help the gambler to make some money in gambling site.

I totally agree with you when it comes to the luck ratio in gambling although I know that they are some games in gambling that totally depends on luck like the casino games on many gambling website's. Sportsbet however, I can concur that a little percentage of 5% when it comes to the knowledge of the sport is need but still it depends on luck too because most of the time your knowledge on the sport won't cut it to secure a win or a positive result in your prediction.

Indeed the importance of skills cannot be overemphasized but the problem amongst most can glass is that they mostly tend to rely on their skill while forgeting that luck plays the major role, and without it winning is almost impossible ( not in all games though) so the question is which is more important in gambling. Is it the skill or luck? I always say that for some games lock please the major role while for a few other games skill is actually what you need. And if ad a gambler you make the mistake of interchanging one for another then the result becomes fatal.


Exactly my point Mate, with such an unpredictable algorithm, what are ge odds that you'll guess right and correctly? There's no way it's possible to calculate the possibilities. And this is where luck comes in, and some people are so adamant about this fact, and just because they're lucky today, they believe they'll also be in luck the next day. This doesn't only apply in slot games. Even in most other gambling games l, which makes it really difficult for gamblers to win and hence makes it always fall in the favor of the casino

It is nothing more than a thought that produces feelings and imaginations that are driven by luck to become reality or the intention of the final result according to what we want. One of the things that makes gamblers feel upset and unacceptable is when the imagination that comes out of their thoughts and hopes is not driven by luck, and that means that no matter how high you put your hopes on winning it is completely useless if luck does not come to you in that session.

Therefore we need to be more careful in gambling by always implementing many preventive measures that will be very useful for safety, one of which may be to put the budget with the smallest amount you can afford to lose, or it will not matter if you lose in the end. The dangerous thing is when you put money with little hope in it, it is not recommended because it is very likely that you will suffer from unusual psychological and mental stress when you really lose, and that is the time of excessive involvement when your emotions start to rise and some out of control actions will be easily done.

For games like this we all know we don’t know how those numbers are been generated so all we can depend on is luck and nothing more than that, this one’s don’t even require someone to have skill in other to win the game as I have played slot and aviator countless times even when I tried to master and learn how to use a tactic to win it all lead to no where.


For sport betting I think the winning percentage is much more than the 30% you rate it on, we seriously need skill to win those. As we have to analyze the game and pick out our options and 30% to me is not enough to guarantee our winning I can say it could be 50/50 luck with skill or less I said this because even with the skill we still need luck to win but the skills are not totally useless.

What you have said reflects a realistic understanding of the inherent uncertainties and risks involved on gambling. Indeed, gambling sites have randomness and unpredictability that makes it challenging for players to guarantee wins. Acknowledging that gambling is a high-risk endeavor and that luck plays a significant role is crucial. People having ups and downs experience in their gambling journey is common. Some may have occasional successes, but as you rightly point out, accepting the unpredictable nature of gambling is essential.

Regret can be a common experience for those who face significant losses. Peple who engage in gambling need to approach it with a clear understanding of the risks involved. Learning from experiences, both wins, and losses, is part of the journey for those who choose to engage in gambling. Responsible gambling practices, including setting realistic expectations and staying within one's limits, can contribute to a more positive and sustainable gambling experience.

I agree. I think that's when it all started for me. I've withdrawn for quite an amount in the past and I want to repeat that. But, it's getting more difficult to achieve that goal because of the urge to want more than what we got before.
I don't even know if it was luck that I received when I experienced that or if I was just too careful with all the bets that I made because I am still new in the industry.
Now, I am kind of rushing things and I want to be in that same position again where almost all my bets are going north and every time I check my graph it's always green. Nowadays, I don't see that anymore. It will always start on red and will keep on going red until I am buried and wrecked in the end.
That's why sometimes I don't really believe in luck. There's a possibility that everything is just being taken back from me. I've tried a lot of different strategies and still ends up with zero balance.
