Topic: Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why... - page 9. (Read 1501 times)

Don't ignore those people who earn the jackpot price on lottery since for sure those people can buy all things that they want for winning such huge amount of money. We see a lot of stories that lotto millionaires buy house and other expensive things. But for gambling on online casino games well maybe its hard to tell if there's really people making a fortune and buy house or other luxury things out of their gambling income. Maybe some didn't broadcast their winning but maybe there's only few of them doing this that's why it didn't get much noise.

I maybe agree that because of gambling we could not possibly buy things that we want but you also need to consider if the person is insane bettor since if this is really the real case then provably we can't really do that. Addicted person hard to control theirselves so expect a worst condition for them. And if we know that its reall bad to go thru this condition then we should set some plan and have good attitude so that we could follow all what we are planning to do.

First of all, I hope you understand that gambling isnt for everything and know how gambling works. Gambling as itself does not generate money out of nothing. When someone looses, other obtains a slightly bigger chance to earn. Of course casinos have their balances, but they arent infinite. In general, for casino to be able to pay you, someone must lose. And is what makes it not the best way to make money. Or I could say that to be able to make money in gambling, you must also lose money. And does not look like a work. The only thing we lose at work is time.

Gambling is a good way to spend leisure time but it is not good to overcome anything. Most gamblers do not believe that they can earn money consistently but they are in a different way in the case of responsible gamblers. They know all the strategies of gambling and their attitude is positive if they can become greedy or control themselves so these gamblers are gaining a lot of success. But not everyone's attitude is the same most gamblers become more addictive after greed when they lose control they cannot earn because they are at risk of losing money. Gambling addiction can have a profound impact on people which causes significant problems in various areas of their lives. Self control is good for gambling helps avoid harm.

OP do you really believe the success of a gambler depends on the optimistic attitude towards gambling, staying discipline and enhancing skill? OP I believe that if these were the case then we'd be recording more successes than losses in gambling but we all know that's not the case here. No one says gambling isn't a means of making money, but considering it a means of steady cash flow of as an additional stream of income is what we consider to be wrong... Gambling is just about skill mate, it's majorly about luck and chances, and we know that these things can't be a product of your gambling skills, what are your chances of winning and how lucky can you be, yes you can increase your chances of winning but what's the guarantee that you'll get lucky, or you don't also believe luck plays a vital role there?

No gambler gambles with the intentions of loosing, we are all optimistic about winning, and we gble with hopes for the best but it doesn't mean that our hopes would guarantee a win, losses would still come, you know what they say, too much expectations brings too much disappointment. If you go gambling with the expectations of just making profits and no losses and you eventually meet the opposite trust that you'll meet a load of disappointment. But if you have a win/win technique that we can use to avoid losses and always record more and steady wins, we'd be happy to hear it.

As I said in the other thread, it can be done but it might take a lot of time and deeper pocket. If not, small bets are also good but the time it will consume will be longer.
It's possible because I have seen it but not on a daily basis because there will be times that the gambling site will take away the money.
Now, after a win, it will be to the gambler on how he will manage it. Either withdraw early or look for a game that doesn't rely on house edge. Sports betting for example and then there's live casinos. Crash is also not a house edge style and if you are not that greedy you can win on this game.
Casino games, all the time, or most of the time take back everything, and trust me I have seen it because of the number of bets that I made in small amounts. It's like you are just playing tag with the casino where your money goes back and forth.
Those who are good with sports though will probably have the best chance of making consistent money and I think there are members here who already made lots of profits from it.

Many of us have started gambling when we are still a kid but as kid, we have a less understanding yet about how gambling works. It was only when we became an adult realize the truth about it. Of course it is very good, to let people know the bad side of it because what is often publicize is only its good side. It gives a wrong impression to the people.

Speaking of wrong impression, there are also people who only see its bad side, in which they can discourage people to get involved with it. I know this is crazy but I think that was also better. As they say, prevention is always better than cure. Among the 10 people who will try gambling, I think over 5 of them can get addicted to it.

Based on your experience as a gambler, do you find gambling profitable? What I mean is you're able to win more rather than losing your money? Being optimistic that you can indeed make money in gambling often leads to disappointment because everything didn't go according to planned.

It's because regardless of what skills you have, the strategy you use and the way you manage your bankroll, the fact still remain, that in gambling you need luck. It's the major factor to win (even in skill-based games). Therefore I don't believe in consistent winning or you can can make money through it. Unless, you became lucky to hit a jackpot like in lottery.

Maybe some people can really build a house or buy a house with gambling money but they don't tell it to many people and only those closest to them. But it is difficult to get big wins from gambling so many people cannot get it. They experience losses more often than wins so they cannot earn money from gambling.

If you make plans to buy something but use the money you earn from gambling, you should forget about it because you won't know when you will be able to make money from gambling. You should look for money from other places that have more opportunities to make money than from gambling.

I do think that we can be profitable in gambling over a long period of time. In case we want to make profit during every gambling session I don't think it's realistic. There are always winning and losing streaks and we can't force to change them. It's like in life, there will be good and there will be bad days. That is why when I notice I am having a bad day in gambling, I will just take a break for the night and try again the next day. Chasing losses is one of my earlier days mistakes that I am trying to avoid now. The best approach I have to longterm profitability is to try and limit losses as much as possible. Avoiding to go broke is very important, because only with capital we can recover our losses in the future again. Also, when I am running good and have a winning streak I try to increase my bets to get the most money out of it.

However, I haven't seen or heard anyone say that he or she have built a house or bought a house with gamble money, maybe as it is hard to win in gamble it is also hard to use gamble winnings to achieve what we want.
Even if we have make a plans to buy something or achieve something, as long as it is while we are gambling, it will be hard to stick to the plans at that time we win money from gamble.
Although, it is only hard for those that are addicted to gamble and the new gamblers but if in any case they are so disciplined, then it will not be a big deal for them to stick to they plans that they have.

Those who think like that must immediately change their mindset by realizing that they cannot make money consistently from gambling. They need to know that gambling is not a place to make money but only to get entertainment so they will not try to win every gambling game. They can only enjoy every moment of their gambling activities and cannot expect to win their gambling games. That is why they must be able to think clearly, not make gambling a permanent source of income, and prefer to look for other places to make money.

Orienting gamblers to the opportunity to have a sustainable income is important, but of course we aim for honesty so we can all understand that that opportunity is not for the crowd.
I can agree that skill is an indispensable part of this field, and almost anything requires good skill to be able to achieve victory. I have a lesson in life, "instead of getting stuck in every game in life, control it by letting go", which means being in control always gives you an advantage over tinkering with everything.

But I still want to express that I have no intention of becoming a professional player because this field is too stressful for me, and moreover, psychological control is not a strength that I can take advantage of in this field. So I can only consider them as means of entertainment.

Gambling depends a lot on luck but you don't always have to rely on your luck in gambling. Before relying on luck you need to take the right decision and you can take the right decision through your gambling skills. If you can apply the right skill in the right place then you have to rely on luck later on. The first step to relying on luck is to apply gambling skills. When it comes to gambling, if we sit down and rely on luck to make the wrong decision, that luck will never come our way because we made the wrong decision to begin with. If luck is not on your side maybe one in two gambles will go against you but without gambling skill most of your gambles will go against you so it is a good gambler's job to develop your gambling skills before relying on luck.

To believe that you can consistently make money gambling is one of the worst thing you can do. We all know that casinos are designed to have a house edge. it is how they make their profit. This means, over the long run, the house is always more likely to win than the gambler. Sure, some guys do hit big wins or have lucky streaks, but this is more about chance than skill or strategy. Relying on gambling as a steady income source is risky 'cause, in the end, the odds are always against you. Thinking positive won't change the math behind the games.

To be frank, I accept that one can have success in gambling but I don't accept that one can have success on a regular basis. The main reason for this is that gambling is literally based on luck. Of course, it is possible to classify gambling games and types within themselves and if this classification is made it is also possible to state that some types aren't entirely based on luck.

For example, a gambler may consistently earn profits by choosing sports betting but unless this is sustained it wouldn't be right to call this a success. Although sports betting is a type of gambling that requires knowledge and experience, I think that regular success will not be achieved because it is a type that is partially based on luck.

Since slots, plinko, dice rolling and similar gambling games are based entirely on luck it isn't possible to earn a regular income in such games and for this reason I don't think that any gambler can achieve regular success in such games.

In summary, although the luck factor varies depending on the type of gambling I don't think that a gambler will earn a regular income and therefore be successful in gambling since a little bit of luck is required in all kinds of gambling games.

OP, you would admit that the number of people who has in their total gambling history, made some good profits with gambling is really small compared to the number of people who in their gambling history haven’t had such luck.
There are people who has achieved “real success” in gambling. There’s no disputing that fact. It’s right when people dissuade others from the notion of gambling being a means of earning money cause it simply isn’t. If you want to make money, get a job or provide your services to others.

You say it like you’d recommend it to someone who is looking for a means of income, But that shouldn’t be. Gambling can be a good source of income but I think it’s too much risk. Because you’ll go and make money, and then stake it. What happens when you lose? The hard earned money/salary will get to the pockets of people who didn’t even work for it. Of course there are winning days, but I don’t see gambling to be one’s relied source.

Unless it is sports betting where one knowledge of the sports can play a significant factor in the result of the bet, I do not think that a person can continuously win on a gambling platform.  I have been engaging in gambling activity for years and I can say, it is hard for the the game I play to consistently earn a profit.  Even streamers I watch seldom bag huge amounts of profit.

With casino game result being random, and the factor that gambler tends to keep playing until their bankroll gets depleted, it is really hard for these kind of gambler to have a successful gambling career.  I think people who have a strong sense of self-discipline are the ones to walk away with winnings.

Besides winning in gambling is not affected by the belief of a person since each game machine has its own range of results that is not affected by the will of a person.



Funny how you ask people's opinions while not welcoming people who think or do not support your argument.

I assume that this gambling is just about fun and the rest is about the possibility of winning and the certainty of losing. And how can I possibly say that this gambling can provide continuous profits, while I myself often lose in gambling.
Winning at gambling is not something we can guarantee. And even if I win, I consider it only as compensation for the losses I experienced previously.

And I can survive in gambling, not because this activity is profitable, but because this gambling activity is fun enough for us to enjoy. So in practice I always try to control myself so that gambling does not become an activity that results in significant losses.

However, if the OP states strongly that this gambling can provide consistent profits, then please prove it yourself and if it works then I will call you a gambling god.

Staking on the gambling table has its goal to multiplying of your fund so periodically, I don't see why anyone would get on the gambling field with all that resources invested and hope not to make profits even before the game is kickstarted.
I really haven't seen anyone saying that gambling is not profitable or can't offer riches rather I have heard of people who basically says that gambling should not be a dependent source of income else one runs the bankrupt.

To me, gambling has the potentials to give and take (winning or Lossing) but the loosing chances is much higher because your winning is undetermined and doesn't matter about how skillful you maybe you posses though skills could be essential but depends on the nature of gambling you are on to if maybe a skill-based or chance-based gambling.
Gambling is a field of competition that is required logical and funding measures which literally is not reliable to making wealth because you don't know the capacity of your openents.
