Topic: Is gambling all about luck? - page 9. (Read 4869 times)

It is not easy to make these conclusions because, in general, all gambling bets depend on luck, while the one who studies the issue notes that the intervention of the luck factor occurs at different levels and that these levels are somewhat distant.

There is a clear difference between the results of bets between sports betting and slot games, although both depend on luck. The same difference can be observed between roller games and card games such as poker or blackjack.

The concept of luck is somewhat general, especially in gambling, because there is a partial role for human decision, even if only in a small part, and this is what makes the game enjoyable so that users are encouraged to try it with the conviction that they have the decision to win.

True! skills in gaming or smart people doesn't have the thing to win if they are not lucky, some games depend solely on luck, like slots machines, roulette, and many more. That's why I avoid those games as long as I can because I know I don't have enough luck to win in this kind of gambling game, because if I push through to win in this game, I know I will not go anywhere and will only lose money. That's why I'm more into gambling games that require skills and using the mind—card games, to be exact—or sports betting. In these games, I can have a basis and more likely have a chance to win and earn a lot. But of course there is still a factor of luck in these games, but it doesn't matter as long as it's more on skills and wits. Then I'm confident enough to gamble in them.

I completely agreed about this all with gambling is all about luck no strategy or fundamental is going to help if your luck is not going ahead with you because we have many examples around us which are clearly indicating gambling are mostly depended on luck even you have huge deposit which can go down without any problem quickly and sometimes your small amount can bring you huge jackpot which is all depend on luck.
Recently we had a good deal of news about few big wins which all happen just because of punters luck even they spend nothing and enjoy huge prizes and in many cases we have people's bank corrupt as they were looking for the huge jackpots with their huge funds but at the end they have empty hands.

While knowing when to quick is surely considered a skill in gambling, I'm not sure the actual game is anything but luck.  2 players with the same strategy could see entirely different outcomes just based on the amount of luck they have.  Sure, some will say that there is a science to it, but at the end of the day gambling is about odds, and odds are just the expression of luck.  Whether someone beats the odds or not (or gets lucky in other words) is typically the deciding factor on whether or not someone wins money, especially over time considering the odds (or luck) is skewed towards the house.

Making cash from gambling is not really good because you will not gain anything from gambling. If you enter gambling to make money good luck, you will not get anything good from gambling if that is what you are after, only addiction and destruction of life will happen to you. Yes, there are people who win in gambling but that does not mean that often, gambling is not a short cut to get a lot of money, it is not easy to get money from gambling, the opposite is even happening because gambling money runs out quickly if you do not have a budget and discipline in self

I said that I often lose in gambling but that doesn't happen to me, yes I lose but I still only win more. I also don't gamble every day and I always have a budget and discipline so my wins are more than my losses. It also seems to me that if you gamble every day there is a chance that you will become addicted to gambling and that is not good.

Gambling mostly depends on a individual and his game management. Cause some games are totally on luck like slot machines! No need skill just try luck and some samilar games  available. then Cricket, football, basketball are kind of games where a gamble can calculate team performance and only can predict what could going to happened but things will depend on players, so this is also kind of luck and kind of skill matters. Then blackjack, rolloet depends on luck but also how strategic a gambler are! And with experience and Stategy, a gamble can make result in his favor, in my opinion

I agree with you, if they really understood what we were talking about, perhaps the misunderstanding would not have occurred, including the gambling addiction. and what we need to remember is that we have to be able to understand that the chance of losing is greater than the chance of winning, so it is impossible for us to continue winning at gambling, indeed we can certainly win once in a while, but that happens very rarely so if we have won I think it is best to cash it in, there is no other better option. and we shouldn't have thoughts that can win in the long term.

I've read that where they think the more often they gamble they will be closer to winning, but that shouldn't be done because that's not the reality. I think thoughts like this only exist in those who are seriously addicted so they don't think about anything else, so they think like this.
It is clear that the winnings you get will not fully cover the losses and losses that have occurred. that is almost impossible to happen.  the fact that the host will always win, in my opinion, is enough to make us realize that we will not always be able to win, because the aim of the host in holding this (gambling) is to take or reap profits from many people.

Again, it's balanced by the odds, meaning that if a team has a good chance to win, the odds will be around 1.10 and it will be hard to win anything decent unless you are risking a big amount of money. That's why luck plays big role even in skill-based betting like sports betting. In poker it's not balanced by no odds. If you are a good player, your win will not be divided by 10 and then given to you, it's all yours. Luck still plays plays a big part in poker but in the long run good players make good money from poker.

Exactly, basically gambling is not a place to earn but only a risky game of chance activity and as a feedback is that you have the possibility to get a prize (winnings) if you are lucky, this is the understanding that really should be applied to most gamblers especially newcomers, because usually a beginner is still very vulnerable to knowledge and they don't really understand what gambling is and what the level of risk is, I see that on average they come with the excuse of seeing the opportunity to win so if this understanding is not correct then obviously it doesn't take long for them to end up addicted and suffer from its bad effects.

Another thing is that I also often see scenarios like this happen to those who have weak finances or mean financial crisis and their goal is to come to get a win in order to improve their finances, it is very ridiculous and from this I can already conclude that there are quite a lot of factors that influence a person to get involved in gambling and one of them is due to weak finances in a person's life but they instead create new problems by making gambling an alternative to making money which is precisely the starting point of a big disaster. On the other hand as you said if one wants to be successful or okay in gambling then they must have some preparation such as skills, experience, information, determination and strategy, honestly I will not bring the word "luck" here because obviously this is not something that can be learned.

Gambling is exciting, and winning is part of the enjoyment. You're right—realistic expectations are crucial. I gamble for fun, not profit. Like a movie ticket, you pay for entertainment and win if you win.

I agree about strategy. A plan helps, but gambling is fun and there's no guarantee of success. Bet management, when to play, and when to stop are key. This balance makes gambling an enjoyable, sometimes rewarding hobby rather than a stressor.

I completely agree about using winnings properly! Like finding a rare diamond. Celebrate your win, but save or invest some of it. Gambling gains are like shooting stars - spectacular but rare.

Planning to get money from gambling is common with most gamblers and it isn't wrong in it's entirety but the desperation to making sure to meet up with such expectations is what turns out to becoming the problem we do face most of the times but this doesn't mean that we can't meet up with our gambling expectations if they are realistic and followed diligently.

Profitability from gambling is sometimes or if not most times under probability and never with an assurance but with diligence on a particular strategy you can be sure to winning at some point and not loosing too often that you don't get to be profitable gambling, there's no certainty with gambling and so it should at no point be relayed upon to doing anything but if you are lucky and you get a good win it will be wise to make good use of your winnings because it doesn't come often but once in a while.

well, this is what I mean, all of this must be truly understood by all gamblers because whatever happens if we bet on a type of bet that depends on luck, we will never be able to win and will always lose in the long run, so we would be better off if gamble using the smallest amount and think of it as a small amount of money to try your luck or think of it as paying the casino for giving us a place to have fun.
If a gambler can understand what we are talking about, there is definitely no addiction or no misunderstanding in understanding gambling.

In fact, there are still many old gamblers out there, even a very large number of beginner gamblers, who think that gambling is not about luck, but the more we gamble, the closer we are to winning big, and they always ignore the house edge which always eats away at our balance slowly without us realizing the budget we have. already empty.
even though it is true that we will get quite a big win, if we take the time to calculate the total, the win will certainly not be able to cover the losses.

we must always remember the house edge not to bet excessively and use bets with a budget that we can afford to lose.

It's not. Sports betting needs deep analysis about the game that will happen or else we are either betting blindly or just relying upon the odds given by the sports bookies. The accuracy of the results cannot be seen just using that. We first need to check the roster, the history of one team against their opponent, the winning chance, and more. Now, it's not like we can win 100 percent by doing that, it's just to increase our chance to win.

Casino games. I've made my share of amount of bets in casino games on my preferred gambling site which is Stake.com. All I can say is, there's always a system and not really about luck. You win big sometimes but it doesn't mean it will keep on going. The chances of the system taking it all back are there if we play longer after a win. Even by changing seeds, playing other casino games, or whatever strategy we are thinking, a losing streak may come after a multi-win.
It will be better if after we win a big amount in casino games, we put it in sports betting afterward. That way, the decision will be on you, your pick, your choice, and your own analysis.

You are on point my friend, in trading, we can be so strategic and managerial and they will help us not only to know the right direction of the market so that we can win if we plan the position well and this will also enhance our account security by managing our position and account for us. This is a little bit possible in some games in gambling as well, but in most of them, the effort of the gambler will always be futile, and as you said, it is all about luck which I will agree with in this category, yet, the gambler must work on his instinct and have some preference of time and reservation in some of these games.

Now, whether the gambler knows how to bet on these games you mentioned very well or not, there will always be a little effort to make to profit with them but more reliance on luck must happen. So the two have to mix in this, and the same goes for almost all the games in casinos. But not of sportsbooks, at least most of the games could even be more of the function of how good the gambler is in predictions and all that just like how it is in trading. In all, gambling relies more on luck so much that even if the gambler is such that is good at what he does, luck is still needed even if it is just an expression as I like to view it at the end of the winning, the outcome is not something that anyone can predetermine based on how good and experienced they are in playing the games.

One shouldn't really depend on gambling as his main income. Gambling is risky. It has a lot of consequences when you lose control, winning isn't guaranteed, and therefore income isn't as secured as having a stable job to pay for your bills and to buy food. If you will engage in gambling, make sure to only do it moderately and responsibly. You don't want to lose all your money in a snap because you deposited it in a casino website thinking you could double or even triple it overnight. There's no such thing as instant money. If you will have to resort in gambling as your side hustle to make additional income, be sure to be knowledgeable first. You need to have what it takes to be successful in gambling such as determination, information, skills, strategies, and luck. Otherwise, your money will be gone in a blink of an eye.

There is nothing wrong with planning to get money from gambling but don't expect too much to always win because in fact gambling is completely dependent on luck, making gambling as a source of income is indeed riskier because it is like doing work, even though there are other jobs that provide a definite salary while the profits gambling is uncertain. In each casino game there are different opportunities to make a profit, but actually the way it works is the same, namely relying on luck, if you are not lucky then you will be faced with a loss.

And it is true that gambling is always profitable, of course there are many gamblers who are rich because they can make a profit just by relying on luck. But the public seems to already understand how gambling works so there are some gamblers who are not really involved with income from gambling so they just take advantage of it time by gambling without thinking about profits.

Luck plays a huge role in gambling. It's not a game with certain results. Gamblers know about this but try to beat around the bush with winning strategies, which doesn't happen. Vendors even sell predictions to gambler, and it won't play accurately. So, gambling is a personal arrangement between the gambler and the house. The player needs to have a personal skill he uses to try different means of beating luck. Though it's not possible to beat the house edge, but with a little bit of luck a gambler can win more money that he'd ever imagined in his entire life. That feeling of being rich came to play, the gambler may not be able to get hold of previous days lifestyle before the day he won big. His price increases, change of utilities and wagering high amounts on gambling. Which dwindles the amount of money left in the player's bank roll.

Gambling fascinates me as mental gymnastics. It can be a treasure trove if you play your cards well. I've always thought a good gambler is a mathematician and psychologist. You calculate odds, read individuals (or the scenario online), and act. This delicate interplay of numbers and intuition thrills me.

When discussing tricks and luck, I've always favored strategy. A lucky break is wonderful, but I feel more in control when I use my game knowledge. Understanding patterns, reacting to the game's flow, and trusting your instincts are key. Luck feels like a bonus, not a need.

Last but not least, gambling is fun. Its a distraction and a rewarding sort of entertainment when used appropriately. I consider it a hobby where winning is as fun as playing. Sharing tales and tips makes this forum more fun.

Most of those who have won want to repeat their win by gambling again. Unfortunately, they couldn't get another win for a while, and that made them curious, so they continued their gambling game. Yes, gambling depends on luck, but there are indeed gambling games that rely on skill and knowledge to play gambling. But still, if you don't have luck, it will be difficult for you to win, and there is a possibility that you will lose a lot of money, especially if you don't have self-control in gambling. We should not put too much hope in gambling to win and make money because gambling is just entertainment. And the longer you gamble, there is a possibility that you will experience loss, so you should always limit your gambling.

I would like to point out that casinos, slot machines or online gambling and sports betting are different things. In casinos, online bandits and similar slot machines, people lose money because the machine is set up this way and a person does not see how honestly the machine works. in sports betting, a person immediately sees how these teams played and the result of the boxing match. I also agree that sports betting can be calculated, although it is not easy to do.
