You can't expect to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels in the machine. - Flip Wilson
True, you cannot win anything if you are not betting, right? In order to trigger the chance of winning, we must spend money to bet. The more we bet, the bigger the chance to hit the jackpot. It is that hitting the jackpot is really hard so we tend to spend a lot of money and yet not able to hit the dreamed jackpot price.
So the two methods that you have conveyed are just an opinion, not a method.
No one can deliberately make gambling a profitable place.
In my opinion, profitable gamblers are those who can control themselves and their finances so that they don't experience too many or too many defeats because in gambling what is certain and real is only defeat.
Going by your second sentence, I think people are now deliberately working their ways into making gambling a profitable place. These people have made it a business venture either because of the economic hardship. They have brought a business angle towards gambling especially in soccer that I'm sure of because they can do their analysis and go for best odds no matter how small it is then they increase their staking power. They have realized that in soccer betting, if you bet so much games at a time in a slip that the chances are there higher to lose than if you bet very few games or even just one game at a time. So that is a deliberate attempt to be profitable in gambling when you reduce your losing chances and increases your winning chance and this is very possible in soccer because that is what many families are now surviving with.
I actually disagree if you say that gambling is a business because of economic difficulties.
Are you sure you understand what you are saying? So if gambling is not a business, then why is there a gambling industry?
Business venture is a place that is used by someone to work and earn income actively and consistently, while gambling is an action taken to gain profit by relying on luck and is still passive.
So what do you call Casinos and gambling platforms? Aside from that gambling if you are talking about it as a verb, is an action( << remember action = active and not passive.) where a person put a bet in order to win something.
It is not recommended to make gambling as a job and the main source of income, especially for those who are experiencing economic difficulties because they might actually lose more money.
There are many gamblers who are starting to feel devastated because of their belief in making gambling a job and this happens in all circles of gamblers.
Gambling is not limited only on playing and betting. There is more than that. Gambling can be a business, can offer jobs, can offer entertainment and can offer profit. Though gambling can also make you lose money if you failed to control yourself. So what I am saying is that gambling has a larger scope ng just betting and winning.
