Topic: [POLL] Are you in profit? - page 2. (Read 273 times)

There are many types of online gambling. So it depends on what type of game. Online gambling in general, I do not make a profit and I do not feel disappointed with the results I receive because the aim of the gambling I play is not to seek wealth.
In this type of sports betting, I am often lucky because the team I bet on in the betting list is often right with the results even though the wins are small. In other types of online gambling such as slot games, I often lose.

Most likely that I am in losses just as the others. And those that are in profit then that is good to know that they have been sitting in profits already.

With what we have been as we are gambling for a very long time, and we are to calculate our entire run with it. The majority of us are likely to agree that we are bearing with our losses. 

Whether we like it or not, that is the real thing as we gamble, the percentage of losing and being at loss is high.

My vote is no and it includes on this result

YES   - 4 (20%)
NO   - 14 (70%)
EVEN   - 2 (10%)
Total Voters: 20

The result is not surprising to me it just proves that the house edge always wins and for every winner, there are 5 losers since this is a fact we should just enjoy and have fun, and if there's an opportunity to make a profit, by all means, grab it and cash it out and never look back and think that its possible to recover your losses because eventually, you will lose everything, its better to end a session with a smile and plan to treat yourself than regretting that you should have quit after you won.

Maybe it's their lucky run but I doubt they can continue this lucky run, you may be in profit for a whole month but you cannot guarantee to make it two in a row I voted no because I want to be honest with myself, and I accept the fact the longer you play the chance for you to experience losses.
Why do we have a poll like this when it is too obvious that there are more losers than winners and the majority of the players will say that they lost, I don't think we will have a poll like this where there are more winners than losers, I will consider not realistic.
Well, the poll just reflects what we always know and that is the house always wins,

I’m on profit honestly speaking but not that huge amount because I’m not a regular gambler and mostly I play using small bankroll just to have fun. I’m always ended up winning even if I have a rough start.

I was supposed to have a terrible loss but I recover it when I chase my loss. It’s possible to be on total profit in gambling but I agree that it will be hard for those people that consistently playing since the house edge will surely make everyone lose in long term. Not exposing much on house edge is the only reason why I’m in profit.

I voted NO and whoever voted YES most likely is lying to himself   . Like , let's be real , how can one be on profit when he gambles ? And even if he is , he most likely placed 1 bet and ditched after but he can say he is on profit as no one force you to bet extra.

I would say that is hard to break even as well as that requires more gambling , more bets and more risk to take in order to be on even balance between you and the bookies.

Wait, profit? I thought gambling was entertainment...

Didn't vote, but I generally can say am overall break even. Small and modest successes here and there, utter losses elsewhere, but I set aside a budget every season and expect to set a new one aside every season. Winnings I spend, enjoy. Just isn't that ehat gambling is meant for? Enjoyment?

Oh and OP. You ever wonder why the actual gamblers who post betslips don't generally respond to these kinds of polls? Your first page alone, apart from maybe one or two nams, I don't recognise anyone I know who actually bets snd gsmbles with enough records to answer your poll honestly.

Happy to be proven wrong.

My vote is a capital letter NO

Gambling is not what can generate profit for you because it will only take money from you and will never give it back to you in a profitable way. Although there are some people who will claim that they have made more of profit than loss, which I know that to see such person is rare.

When I was new to gamble, I had the wrong mindset on gamble and I thought that I can make profit from it, but I got disappointed because it thought me a hard lesson that made me to understand what gamble should be seen as. There are still new people who are also having this same thought that they can make profit from it and I just talked to one of them yesterday about the consequences of seeing gambling as a profitable activity

When people first start gambling, they get caught up dreaming about scoring it big.  But let's be real - the casinos and bookies are the ones who end up benefiting in the end.  Most of the time when people lose, they try to forget about it and only focus on those rare wins that keep them hooked and  we've all been there before, chasing those wins.  Everyone's got their own tale when it comes to gambling.

I've been gambling for a while now, longer than I'd probably like to confess.  It's been several years since I tried betting with bitcoin, so even if I broke even, which I doubt, Id still be down in dollars.

If we consider the PnL since the start of my gambling journey then heck NO because I loss a lot during my newbie days while the price of crypto that time is low compared to now that it’s massive. I’m already a millionaire if I didn’t lose a lot of crypto back in the days and just hold it.

But if we consider only the $ value and the time which I’m already not careless then I’m in consistent profit because pf the bonuses and VIP rewards of casino nowadays. I’m sure that many user here is still in loss if we will consider the time when we are just starting since no one here start as a pro on gambling.

You are right because there is a pleasure factor that we get from gambling that keeps us coming back to gambling. But you know that it is actually a small trigger that can make us addicted to gambling if we are not careful in using gambling.
Many people are so carried away by gambling that they will continue to return to gambling even though they have experienced a lot of losses.
We must not experience as many losses as they do, so we must really take care of ourselves while gambling.
It is normal when we know that many people have been gambling for a long time and have experienced a lot of losses because, in gambling, it is difficult for us to win.
If we don't want to lose a lot, we can manage our gambling time and really limit the money we spend on gambling. That's to prevent us from experiencing that many losses.

I'm not particularly sure but at the same time, there's not really much in terms of me being able to spend whatever winnings in a life-changing way, so I'm just gonna say NO. Whether it be no or yes, it's really pretty close anyway and you'd still be at a loss even if it was really even. In the first place I probably would've stopped gambling, or have at the very least minimized it if I actually won big in gambling in the past. A lot of stuff I want to improve on, most of which needs money.

In the first place though, I think most gamblers lose out when gambling. Just the existence of house edge puts most of us in the loss after all, what more with more cases of us actually lose instead of winning anything big.

Exactly my friend, it is a true fact as you said that there is absolutely no certainty in gambling especially for the results at the end of the session, it always and greatly depends on how lucky you are at that time, so what reason do you bring that makes you act aggressively and out of control just for the sake of winning? obviously it's the wrong way and your mindset is not reasonable, very far from what should be done properly. There are some people who say that they can succeed in gambling, which is a very ridiculous statement. It's like they are gambling addicts or potential gambling addicts who have such statements, the initial cause is because they are too serious in seeing the winnings and opportunities that exist in gambling so they put very high hopes and expectations for things that are actually uncertain and fortunately.

Yes, it is usually the beginners who are prone to making many mistakes and making wrong decisions, it is because they include you in bringing the wrong mindset when you first come to gambling, maybe you think that you will be able to get money very easily just for gambling, but now you know the real facts, and thank goodness if you have realized and corrected all your mistakes. So the point is especially for beginners do not let you bring the wrong mindset in gambling, it is dangerous.

I vote No outrightly.

Gambling is an uncertainty, so no one can ascertain the outcome of this game, That is why losing is inevitable in gambling, I had a very bad experience when I started gambling newly, am Nigerian to be polite, I made stake with few selection, I wouldn't like to mention the amount that I used to stake it, but the amount is big to me and it in naira, my selection looks very encouraging but unfortunately I lost that bet, from day till this moment I stopped using big amount to stake game, I have even stop losing, if I compare my losing to my winning, the lost gamble is more higher than the winning and I think that this is natural because it is never sure even though you win.

Answered no. But I do wish I was part of those who answered yes. Maybe someday I will be.

It's difficult to find luck in casino games with the house edge against you and sometimes it becomes exaggerated and winning becomes impossible especially for original games with high-risk bets as the choice of option to play.
I always play high risk because I want that one hit jackpot but it's too elusive and sometimes when it gives that high multi-win I am deep in my wallet. Like for example I am in 520x loss and it will only give 300x. That's high multi but it won't cover all the losses that I got upon starting to play.
There are times that I feel like it was on the seed that I pick or it is just bad luck that I got ever since I became a VIP.

You can deduce from the poll that not everyone is on the profit side with their gamble habit and that's includes me also as I choose NO. It's moment like this that I tend to succum with the saying that trend the forum about gambling for fun because although we experience these loss, we still tend to gamble sometimes just for the fun that's in it and I do this sometimes when am not knowing or planning for the funds I want to use although it's Been long I fully get involved with my gambling but I know my overall rate are more of loss than profits.

I'm not in profit yet and I'm not in a hurry to get there. I spent so much money when I was overwhelmed by greed, so its going to take some time for me to recover that because my pattern of playing now is small wins and gradual growth. I realized that when I target big wins, I end up in losing streak. So it is better to take it slowly. Gambling is all about what works for you and that is what I'm doing.

I choose "NO".
I gamble always on weekends and have limits too, but I don't play only on one site, I always change gambling sites to play, it's good with the aim just for entertainment so I don't chase the losses I've felt, even though I lose more than I win it doesn't matter because I play just looking for the thrill in exchange for money, gambling is a game that uses money as a medium of exchange, but many people make gambling their main income in their lives, of course this is wrong.

Losing money in a manageable amount for gambling is okay, because I myself already know what the end will be like so I play just looking for the thrill of the thrill, because I don't know what's more interesting than gambling, either I also feel my pleasure is in gambling, even if I lose sometimes upset but that's normal, but if they become gambling as their main income it's a big mistake that will make them miserable in the future. They should play only for entertainment and nothing more, because if they are lucky there will definitely be a win even though it's not much hahaha.
what do you think?

you can see by yourself my "journey" in crypto gambling during recent years.

Unfortunately, over time I have become "less good", because I don't have enough time to play and study the events I have to follow.

in general the experience is profitable and positive but I believe that the more you play the more you tend to lose. the trick is to understand when it's right time to stop

It is so hard to know since i have been gambling for quite a while but overall i would say i am either even or in a slight negative. I have a feeling i must be in the minority here and the poss shows that aswell, quite a few are in the negative.
