Topic: Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why... - page 2. (Read 1409 times)

Usually the gamblers are not disciplined and therefore they know that it s not possible to make consistent income in gambling. Others who are disciplined also know that consistent income in gambling is not possible because everything depends upon the luck.

No matter how much discipline you are if there is no luck on your side then of course you will not be able to gain any big significent profit. I think if any gambler is able to mentally satisfy himself that he can incurr loss or he can make profits and if this thing is pre plan in his mind then of course there will be no stress if he gambles and loses.

I think that those people/gamblers won't say that, if they never experienced it themselves. But there may be a few number who just go with flow/current in which they just follow what the majority are saying but the truth is they are not really a gambler. They are only here in this board posting for the sake of meeting their requirements for the gambling campaign that they have joined. I like them.

I mean I'm also a gambler, and I mostly experience a loss rather than a win, but don't worry OP, I still believe on you when you say that there are people who achieve a success in gambling. Their numbers are only low though, but the point is, it is possible. It only needs a lot of effort (trial and error) and maybe a massive amount of luck. A lot of people don't have that quality, and they think others too, or they want others to not face those difficulties, so they just say that someone shouldn't hope too much in gambling.

With such arguments, you'll see people that only see the bad gamblers think that they cannot make money. That's going to be their example and you're not going to win over those arguments because that's their proof of living that gambling is bad.

At first, they may sound right and you don't want to break their belief but when it gets too much. These people don't really gamble at all, they just like to backlash people that they see and are against to their belief.

With all of that, don't waste energy arguing with these people because even in other things. What they can only see are the bad sides of it because of irresponsible people that does those activities.

How is it that someone can even think of making gambling a steady source of income because I don't ever see the possibility of this, gambling wasn't designed to even let the public win at ease as it's a system that offers the actual owners of the casino more funds while you get back entertainment from it and nothing more, maybe sometimes rewards or when you get luck then the big jackpot. So saying or even thinking of making gambling a habit that can guarantee you successful wins is just a mirage of the highest order.

A gambler can gamble and have the confidence to win, but he cannot force himself to continue gambling if he has not been able to win after gambling for a while. He must understand that if he cannot win at gambling, he should not continue gambling and should think about stopping gambling right away. It was all for his good because he wouldn't have any more money, especially after he had been gambling for a while. If he places a rather large bet, his deposited money will decrease, and he would be better off stopping immediately rather than losing all his money.

But gambling is not a place to make money because it is just one of the entertainment that uses money. We should not be too hard at gambling because we cannot always win at gambling. And rather than losing more money, we should limit the use of the money. After all, gambling is just an activity to fill our free time.

You play every game with the believe that you'll win, and if you don't win, you dust yourself and try again. There's no point in not being optimistic when doing something that is either win or lose.
There's a difference between believing you can win and having all your hope only on gambling. You'll quickly lose it all if you put all your hope into gambling. Believing you can win every time won't make you win every time because you don't win gambling based on your believe. You win based on your skills, analysis, and luck.

Gambling can be fun and at the same time a way to make money. I don't believe it should be a source of income. When you take gambling as a source of income, you will end up always chasing your losses and that can place you in a very bad situation.

Gambling can be enjoyable, but it's important to be aware of the risks involved. Just like drinking alcohol, it's easy to become addicted and end up losing a lot of money. To avoid any negative outcomes, it's important to set limits on how much money you're willing to win or lose while gambling. Remember, gambling should not be seen as a source of income because luck is not always on our side. Some people tend to bet higher amounts than they can afford, thinking they can consistently make money from gambling, but this is not a sustainable way to gamble. By setting limits, you can stay in control and prevent any problems from arising.

If you don't have enough money to gamble and sustain your needs then it is something that you couldn't pull off.
The way I see it making a living from gambling or trading needs a huge amount of capital because we all know that we wouldn't always get a profit from it, we couldn't guarantee a consistent income from it.
There would always be a time that we would lose or couldn't make anything from it.
We are discouraging others to gamble or trade because not everyone is cut off to be in that profession or consider it as their main job.

Probably the best way to go is choosing games where you can have some kind of edge. Even if a small one
Usually these are skill games like poker or even sports betting
Consistently betting on things like plinko or slots is a recipe for disaster

That willingness part is what I can hold among all that you said. It is key and it is until the gambler is willing that his problem becomes half-solved. Gambling addiction is bad and I'm glad I am not always addicted, it only happened to me once and that was all. If you asked what helped me, it is just willpower and it was easy to let go. I was indeed willing to get out of the mess, and it was so easy for me because I have a mind of my own, to say the least. Everyone can build this too. Just like the OP, believing that you can be set free easily in gambling is the first issue that causes this, and trying to win back your lost bets is another problem.

Either way, a responsible gambler would have known and try his best to avoid them, and it is not a must that we follow the advice of others or go by the way of their plan as the OP wants. We should be Us and get to shun others, and this will be easier if we have all it takes to gamble and win as well. But if we lose, we should also know how to comport ourselves so that we will not misbehave whatsoever. It is enough for us to get back on the right track later and make the best bets thereafter. Gambling is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, and if you could make money from it, fine. But it is sad that people often engage in it wrongly and with the wrong mindset, which explains the spate of high losses in it these days.

True. Winning is a rare thing to happen for every gambler. Uncertain and mostly losses. I think I have made enough bets in casino games that I could say I've lost more of it than winning. It's not even near 20 percent of wins on my total amount of bets.
Well, trying to win the jackpot is also fun stuff. Before I was playing 3 lines only in a slot original game Tome of Life and I had my best moment on that game too. My largest multi-win was x1500 and I was so happy that I even shared it in the chatbox and most of them were surprised because that is too rare to happen. Then, I got another x500 which made me happier and after that, I only tried to lose 100 more bets before I withdrew everything.
It's a super lucky day for me that I cannot forget, but when I go back there and try it one more time, I cannot do it again. Most of the time it's a losing streak of like 50 bets without a hit and if ever it gives back it's not even 50 percent of what I lost.
The online gambling system has its own way of taking back from us. We won't mind the slow loss but if we add them all, the sum could be near what we have won recently.

Excessive gambling put you in the place where you will continue to aim for more even in the time that you already make some from gambling but due to that mindset that you can win more, that's how excessive gambling comes in, it will push you to keep playing instead of stopping and controlling yourself.

Both winning or losing side you should have that mentality to kep your control over your emotions, most of those who thinks that they can
make steady profits ended with dissapointment as there's no one who can control result of each gambling session, it's your set limitation and ability to follow when it's time to stop.

The problem is that most gamblers can't stop after a few spins because they want to recover their losses or get even bigger wins. This makes them gamble more and more and don't care about how much money they use and many of them become addicted to gambling. They cannot spend all their money at once, especially for those who allocate a certain amount of money for gambling. If they can rest for a while after gambling, they will not lose control of themselves and can enjoy gambling as they should. Winning will come to them by itself and without their asking, so it will surprise them.

It should be easy for those who can control themselves well so that they will not experience gambling addiction and can stop easily. This all requires a new habit to be adopted where those of us who are used to what we do must really limit our gambling activities so that we don't experience any problems. It's difficult but that's what we have to do if we really want to avoid gambling addiction.

Setting a bankroll is important so that we stay within the limit and still have money that we can use to gamble another day. If we lose self-control, we will lose more money and we will become addicted to gambling.

Every experienced gambler will experience difficult times. But it depends on how we overcome it because there are still many gamblers who are unable to overcome it and instead get deeper into gambling. We really have to be able to stop gambling after gambling for a while so that we can avoid the problems that come.

If we are not willing to try, we will not be able to stop gambling easily. This is just about wanting to try to stop gambling or not wanting to stop even though it is all for our good so that we don't experience gambling addiction. We may believe we can win, but we must look at the situations and conditions when we gamble to see the reality. If we think there is no need to continue gambling, we should decide to stop gambling immediately before things get bad.

Yes, their emotions will definitely increase along with what they get in gambling and most of them will start to lose self-control so that they cannot control the use of their money. They must be able to stop gambling for a moment to avoid increasing emotions, which could influence their thoughts to continue gambling. They can suffer huge losses if they don't pay attention or don't know when to stop and they will only regret it after they finish gambling. By stopping gambling, they can take a break to lower their emotions and will not have the desire to chase bigger wins or recover from their losses. They can also think more clearly after they finish gambling and learn what mistakes they have made so that it will not affect them again the next day.

Experienced gamblers will indeed know what they should do when gambling and how to reduce their losses. They have learned from many sources and from their experience so they can know the actions needed to avoid greater losses. They also won't chase bigger wins because they know they could experience bigger losses.

There are many strategies needed to play gambling, but they still have to have good self-control so they don't experience big losses. They can apply many strategies but must maintain self-control because when playing gambling, they will encounter many temptations.

Yes, that's true, but on the other hand, there is only one thing that can make them exercise such limits and controls, namely a correct understanding of gambling along with a good level of awareness, because I think some controls and limits will not be able to be implemented if they don't Having a proper understanding or having a point of view is not advisable on gambling as it comes to earning. Basically it is very difficult to be able to do something like that if their main focus is winning, because I am sure they will always carry out experiments with quite high hopes and expectations.

That's right, on the other hand there is absolutely no certainty for anyone to make money just by gambling, I'm not saying that you won't make a full profit because maybe you can win on condition that you are lucky or luck comes your way in that session, but on the other hand The risk is much greater than the chance of winning, and one of the reasons is because only luck can bring you victory. So I think it would be unethical if you apply excessive behavior to something that basically has no certainty and guarantee, and as is often the case, you will just waste money and time.

Knowing when to stop, either if you are on the winning side or on the losing side, is very important. Such practice gives you that authority to keep your dominance in terms of emotions. It's a limit that you need to set up and needs to be followed by. Anyhow, failing in doing so will risk your bankroll, and most of the time it's the weakness of most gamblers, they can't resist the call of keep playing whether they are winning or losing a lot.


Realizing is your key to make sure that you will not overdo your gambling session, I mean, not to exceed to much and still allow you to minimize the possibility of losing your funds.

Knowing our limits and controlling our emotions are the best things to do when gambling. We have to note that gambling doesn't give us money in real life but just experience, happiness, and sadness. If can do this, then I could say that nothing bad happened to us. Winning is not as easy as most people think and from the word itself - gambling means the results are uncertain (whether lose or win). Unfortunately and a very sad thing to hear many people gamble because of aiming to win the jackpot prize, not by making themselves enjoy the moment. We hope that they will realize it and know the meaning of gambling rather than chasing their luck and losing more.

If you continue when things beyond your control or let just say luck is not really in your side for sure we can potentially waste a lot of money for that. This is why we need to know how to settle some things between our attitude or the way how we take some certain situations while playing so that we can easily leave once everything is not in our side.

Doing this might not easy since there are people ride with the flow since they are in climax playing their favorite games. But they really need to realize that they need to settle down on things they didn't expect since they need to think about how they can end up their session once they are starting to lose or already having a long losing streak.

That what experienced gamblers always do because they know that if they do it continuously and without any breaks to rest, their emotions can influence their minds and in the end the pursuit of victory to be able to get some money will definitely happen.
And things like this allow them to feel the losses are really getting bigger and in fact there have been many incidents like this that have happened.
Moreover, by stopping and trying to gamble in the future or the next day you can also maintain control to stay within the limits that have been set, losing money is the saddest thing, especially losing money just because of unreasonable ambition.

Experienced gamblers or professional gamblers always know how they should proceed in the future to minimize losses.
And experienced gamblers will of course prioritize financial stability rather than overdoing it or trying to recover losses when losses occur.

Talking about strategy, not all strategies can guarantee victory or success, but by having the right strategy, gambler can be more confident in his abilities.
But it is true that some games or bets require the right strategy and strategy like this cannot be had by all gamblers.

Successful gamblers who make profits through gambling have the right strategies and knowledge requirements for gambling. They've gathered a lot of experience in gambling and have mastered a few plans that may work out in gambling. The need to wager an amount of money is checked and they try big amounts at a time when the odds seem to be with them. Slot players whom I've read about their gambling journey didn't make much via gambling, instead, few competitions or raffle draws changed their game and made them successful gamblers in terms of money. While Op is right that many people have made a fortune in gambling and changed their livelihood, it's still great to warn people against such beliefs. Participating in gambling due to the success of another gambler has made lots of people addicts. Sending out good advice to gamblers not to repeat mistakes, that'll get them bankrupt isn't bad.

The pro gamblers have devised strategies that work for only them, and when shared with someone else it may not work. This means that gambling works for everyone differently. What works for me may not work for another gambler who wants to give it a try. Most of them also discuss with gamblers who have the same skill and vision as them and most time they're high bankers. They have lots of money to play gambling, yet maintain the rule of playing with little amount. While those who have little money to gamble disobey the rule and wager huge money and end up feeling bad or having a bad day. I learned from a pro that setting aside some funds to gamble more is great, that is staking money bit by bit until I'm able to gamble for at least 5 days, the same money other gamblers would spend in one day. Within 5 days and more of practicing the strategy, I'd be able to figure out how the slot machine works, and then devise or build my strategy from the experience.

I do believe that leaving gambling is the most difficult thing to do for a gambling addict, that's why It should take time and do it slowly but surely. Also if a gambler is willing to leave gambling, they should set a timeline progress. We have different ways of getting out and freeing  from our problems and as long as you have your willingness to do, you can definitely overcome it when the time is right.
