Topic: Is gambling all about luck? - page 41. (Read 4859 times)

Yes it's a matter of luck, but what uses that strategy is sports betting but the reality is that luck is the highest in gambling.

If you expect more from gambling then it is not good let alone make it as an income then it will be bad something happens to you, should not expect more unless you want fun by losing money in this game.

Gambling can make you addicted, if this is already in you then it will be difficult to get rid of.

Don't get it twisted,  making money from gambling is not a bad thing because most gamblers gamble to keep winning whether you are playing for fun or for the fun either way making money and winning games is fun so it all balls down to the same thing which is that.

Gamble with the amount you can afford to lose and always take out all your balance leaving only the tour percentage play balance which should be set every week.

You can't just say no, all gambling involve or need luck. Whether you like it or not luck is involved and part of the process or the fun in all gambling. Tricks, skills and luck are all involved in gambling and if any of these is not well utilized in the gambling process, you can't do well. I don't think any gambler depends on luck but luck comes on it own in the process of gambling.

Analysing games to win still need luck. You can analyze A to Z without luck you can't win, luck is abstract which only appear in the winning.

Referring to the title of this thread.
The answer will really depend on what game you are playing. If we play a game that is purely based on luck, of course luck plays a big role in our need to win the game session. However, for several other types of gambling, it's not all about luck, although luck also plays a role. In some gambling cases, luck is another supporting factor, apart from us involving several methods or mechanisms in determining every bet we make. It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not and that is your right.

For me personally, luck is another factor in every bet I make. for example, in football betting, if we only rely on luck, that means we don't need to bother researching and analyzing every match between the two teams that will be held. we just choose randomly to choose the team we will bet on, because basically we believe it's all about luck.
However, in practice, it is not that simple in all our actions in football betting. Apart from the luck factor, there are other factors that become our mechanism for minimizing defeat. In this way we must have an understanding of football itself, the system that the coach applies, the players who are absent, the players who are on fire, and how the opposing teams are like. then, which option is close to ideal as the bet we will make. the rest, let luck decide.

Strategies I can think of that will work on casino games are usually just Martingale and max bet upon x times of loss, which to me does not make much sense as these can be considered as bankroll management and not directly a strategy to defeat the game. I don't know what kind of 'strategy' will work to a game that is governed completely by luck and variance, because if there's one then I'm pretty sure people would know about it and use it all the time.

If we consider there is 100% fairness in games like slots, plinko, dices, etc; then indeed we can say it is all about luck. On the other hand, when we talk about betting, poker and other card games, then I would say there is a small percentage of the win chance which is directly dependent on the player's ability and intuition to foresee and outcome.

That is why when I read people talking about mindset or strategies for games, like those I first mention, to me does not make much sense. It would be easier to talk about strategy when playing poker instead.

As the thread title says, gambling is a way to examine your luck. It doesn't have anything to do with one's skill. There are exceptions that had happened with gamblers, but what they had followed doesn't work with another person. With sports betting we can say it is not completely on luck. Based on our understanding about the players, team, venue, and different other factors we can predict the winning possibility. Even this fails, so there is little of luck necessary. Overall we shouldn't have the mind considering gambling as a way to earn.

Well, that is quite obvious. That is why there are advices everywhere on this forum telling you to only gamble with money you can afford to lose and to never chase your losses. Only the minority of gamblers will be able to make considerable profit from gambling through big wins and jackpots. Anyway, if they keep playing, losses will be faced on long term, without any doubts. So, if you are a lucky gambler, make sure to use your earnings wisely instead of spending everything in another bets.

You believe in luck so you have to try as hard as possible... isn't that wrong? Will luck come every day or week? No one knows..

You should not expect too much in gambling because the results will not match your expectations! Gambling is a game scheme that must please you. If you expect more than that, it will be bad or become a problem in your life.

Many people say gambling is for fun... Use cold money... if you lose don't worry about stress or anything...

Most of the game yes though there are still games that you need to analyze and make a good decisions in order for you to win against other gamblers. Sports betting didn’t depend on any luck as you have to analyze and winning are more possible in betting. Luck is important in gambling and you are lucky if its present every time you gamble.

Luck is something complex to define, i mean, you need a lot of luck to hit $10 on x100, but with less luck you can hit $500 on x2. Both bets would pay the same, but one of them was with a lower value.

I would say true luck is a big multiplier with a big bet because while bigger the bet it means we have fewer rolls. So, we need more luck to hit it.

It naturally isn't. Cash is involved in gambling simply to add a thrill to a really simple game. Let's be real here after all, the majority of the people here would not enjoy two dice going up and down showing it's results and telling you that you won/lost every time without anything involved. Well, you can consider it like an entrance fee of sorts for a tournament that scales up/down depending on the amount you put in.

Generally you lose money in the long run due to house edge so it isn't really fun to consider money in the long run, but I guess the thrill of receiving a big amount immediately, regardless of the amount spent is the actual fun part instead.

Yes, in gambling, the element of luck must always go hand in hand with the part of skill. We cannot play a game without understanding it, and we must understand its concepts and principles. Skills are still necessary, but luck will be the deciding factor in winning or losing. A good gambler will not be as good as a lucky person. Of course, luck is not always available. We feel enough and stop playing at the right time. That is a blessing for ourselves and our family. And also in gambling.

Obviously, considering gambling a form of income or a sort of money-making scheme shouldn't be a usual practice as it's not possible for everyone.

Yes, there are few gamblers who are able to keep their gambling career as their main source of income but they were able to reach that status because they build it alongside their unique skills. Aside from that, I found it too risky if we rely on our financial needs for something that requires luck + skills just to have a good and decent winning in return.

Is gambling all about luck? Simply, yes but there are gambling types e.g. sports betting, strategy-based games, etc. that do not rely and depend too much on luck but rather gamblers on these fields are working on something to somehow increase their winning chance rate.

Odds will always stack against the gambler, because the house with even a 0.1% house edge compared to a 99.9% luck of the player, the house still wins in the long run. That in itself isn't a reason to stop gambling, especially if it's being viewed as a form of entertainment from the perspective of the gambler. It's just that no one should be looking at gambling as a way to make money, as obviously it is not the case and they will just lose more money if they do so.

Of course, gamblers already knows that, the odds are against them, the numbers will be pretty much stack against you specially if you play in the long run.
That's why the best advise is that if you have won already, just stop and withdraw, and that is the trick.
The thing with gamblers is that they are going to play though, push their "luck" for that day, it's like YOLO.
And then at the end, you will see and hear them having this regrets that they should have quit while on top.
There are also no system in the world that kind beat the casinos, so don't believed any person that try to sells a supposedly method in the internet because there are none.

That is absolutely true for most slot games,dice,roulette and other completely luck based games.There is a slight possibility that people can make money from sport betting,I have seen a lot of high rollers in different casinos which implement the copy a bet feature that quite some of these persons win money over the long run.

I personally though love the slot machines as some games from Pragmatic Play provider are very engaging and sometimes you can even win up to x5000 to well over x30000 of your bet and that is what keeps people coming back playing slot machines,not for nothing slot machines are the most played games in every casino.

While luck plays a majority and crucial factor in winning games, gambling is not always about luck. There are certain instances where the game mechanics, skills, and techniques may play a vital role in order to gain a slight advantage whenever you attempt to play a single gambling game.

For example, the game of Poker is the game of cards against your opponents. You can employ various strategies that can either give you a winning advantage or a losing position at the end depending on how you would be able to execute it.

While gambling and luck are two things that are often associated with each other, there is still that degree of skill involve that can turn the tides in your favour.

Most people say things like that, that when talking about winning in gambling means talking about luck." But not me personally, who where I'm not too fixated on luck. and I assume that "when we talk about gambling we are talking about luck and chance."
Why is that.? Because if we only talk about luck then even a stupid person can win gambling as long as he gambles. But we must remember that everyone has luck, but not everyone is able to create an opportunity to win. and you can get this opportunity only through increasing your understanding, knowledge, abilities and skills in gambling. Then you can get a chance to win on the bets and gambling you do.

The system is designated for us to record heavy losses, it keeps collecting from us until we're wise and have full essential knowledge on how the system operates. We're in the system because we expects good results in our prediction, always keeping edge ready for games, and not minding the general instances of the system. Making cool cash from gambling is not easy, a complicated effort just to be able to withdraw one's earnings from the system. I consider it  to be based on luck and solid predictions, and not some kind of random analysis that will make one record heavy losses. Winning from gambling depends on the accurate ratio of your analysis and predictions.
