Topic: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income - page 16. (Read 6781 times)

In the end its just about self control. Regular bets as long as you have the money can lead you to VIP. But don’t push yourself too hard just to get there. There is a lot of benefit when you get into VIP but the risks  are high too so better be ready. I mean when you get there it means you are already capable right?

It's better for us to gamble with enough money rather than force ourselves to pursue the VIP level. However, by gambling regularly and self-control, we can reach that VIP level. There is no need to think about how long it will take us to reach the VIP level because if we enjoy the gambling, we will get there. And there is no need to take promotions that we think are difficult to get to reach the VIP level, let alone use a lot of money because we need to fill the wagering requirements. Indeed, the VIP bonus is higher, making many people want to become VIP members. But we must be aware of our abilities so we don't risk losing more money to chase the VIP level.

One more point to add: Clear mindset
Having a clear and fresh mind is really important when gambling. It helps us to make better choices and understand the risk. If you are tired or stressed in that moment, your mind may go blank, and you may make quick decision that you regret later. Therefore, it is important to relax and play with fresh mind. A clear head will help you make better decisions and lead to better results.

Right. Casinos offer bonuses as incentives as a trick to retain players and attract new ones. VIP bonuses are higher and it motivates players to achieve VIP status for more bonuses so its a simple logic that only those who can afford the VIP level of betting should be there and gamblers shouldnt push theirselves especially if they dont have money anymore. Remember, if you cant afford to lose the “VIP amount” why would you even bet in the beginning?

You`re talking how not to lose and a small chance to win. But there are examples how to win often. Of course nobody can get 100% win rate but if you get odd more than 2, it is enough to get stable profit. I can`t say about casino games, it mostly depends on luck. But poker and sport betting give a chance for gambler to analyze situation and make some changes in his strategy. And if the gambler use money management all the time - he can increase his income until it becomes big enough.

Discipline is the key
Control is relevant
Awareness of situation is important
Greed should be minimized

If you do have these things then you wont really be making yourself getting wrecked with gambling since you are that aware of the situation.
You would really be messing up yourself with gambling if you do have that kind of intent or goals towards gambling.Its never been that considered to be a
major source of income because it is really just that good for entertainment.

You would most likely or definitely fail if you would really be that pursuing this kind of target. Odds is always against us on winning but if you are lucky
then there might be some chance but we know that it doesnt last forever in speaking of luck factor.

Executions of sets of strategy works on them as they are good in controlling every emotion that they've got each time they play the game, and like what both of you said, they are not exempted with losing streak but the best strategy for them is they know how pause and not to follow whatever emotions that keeps pushing them to play more.

Experienced dictates that they need to stop and not to follow that lust to try recovering back or trying to win larger than whatever they already got.

They also have experience as well which in some cases will help them take rational decisions on picks they place bets on, some of them has also attained some level of discipline which the have gotten from experience over the years so combining all these together gives them the better edge the have over amateur and newbie gamblers at the casino.

Discipline is on factor that it's application cuts across all works of life and it's results is always best in the interest of the person who applies it in what ever they are doing but sadly some persons do not stay discipline enough and they end up blaming their losses on the casino thinking it resulted from manipulations. A disciplined gambler is usually profitable and almost never gets to addiction as compared to others who would just hit the casino at leisure and hope to win but mostly don't end up with a rather opposite results more often.

I thought the same. But several tournaments with high skilled players made me to think one more time.
In poker you are playing against over gamblers and it is much more difficult than sport betting. You results depends on luck, over players skills, your skills, your well-being, etc. As the results you can`t only win. With money management it is possible to get some income, but it don`t looks stable. In the sport betting it is easier, but you have to work really hard to get stable and nice income. May be i had to spend more time practicing, but i don`t sure in the result.

Thank you for the advice. Yes, that is the main advice we must always remember when gambling. Only use the money you can afford when gambling is another advice we should always remember. This made me remember an incident that happened to a close friend who gambled excessively, causing him to lose a lot. Fortunately, he understood his mistake and decided to reduce his gambling.

Totally agree with you, mate, I'm doing the same too. I used to think of making gambling my major income only in the very beginning of my gambling journey, probably like the most of us here. Back then, knowing almost nothing about gambling, I thought I'd figured out some winning strtegies and stuff like that. Can you imagine, just after 2-3 weeks of playing I already had those thoughts? Today, ten years later, I know you can win big, but I also know that you can't count on it, and thus you can't make gambling your major income.


I think, I'm one of those more than 90% of gamblers, who just play for fun and have no problems with it whatsoever. As for the gambling addicts, like you, I also hope our advises help some of them. The main advice I would give: don't even try to make gambling your major income.

Well, it's still a good entry of money, obviously when things happen it's over time, it's not all at once, but the fact that you've won like this is an example, because you can see that consistency is essential, Obviously you have not lost control, you have known how to maintain yourself, you have not lost friends or family, that is what should be seen, and of course, it is a great example for many players, I say it is to hear the following, I have seen you here In the forum there are many topics about gambling addiction, obviously it is a warning, people who need our help, advice, and I wish one could do more for them, because this is a very big problem, everyone can give their opinion and say, self-control, don't play anymore, don't risk more, but being in that addiction problem things are very strong, things are usually seen from another point of view, and that is what we basically have to avoid at all costs, when a A person in addiction runs the risk of losing not only money, but of losing friends, families, getting into debt with friends, family, with banks, these are things that basically should not happen and try to avoid, because this is a problem that besieges people. many, and it must be avoided.

In this order of ideas, we must take advantage of both this thread and all the others that exist to give good advice, to contribute in some way, I don't know if through Bitcointalk, some casinos or some organization launch a special style of campaign to help for the addicted people, some type of organization, because thinking about it all these things are very relevant when it comes to helping, I try to help by saying that sport is the best option, and the best way to be a player who can have an income is by controlling each playing session, accepting the loss, and adjusting the balance when you win, is the best that can happen , that is why the income in a casino for a player like this is little Because it must be saved , saved.

Thx. It was really interesting experience, but after 3 months i was really tired and had a big list of unfinished tasks. I tried to decrease time, i spend on betting, but the same time profit decreased much more than time.
But i still bet for fun. Now it doesn`t brings me much money, but it is good for relax.

$800 per month? That's amazing! That's much more than I had with my poker playing. You could be making in one year almost the same amount I was making in 10! Congrats! Good job. I'm glad your income from the main job is higher, and you've decided to not dedicate so much time to gambling. That was a right decision, mate.


Depends on the time span. I said I've won around $10k during my whole gambling career, it's like 10 years, a lot of time, many many hours of playing(NL Holdem Poker mostly).

To think of making gambling your main source of income in the first place is a wrong mind set, firstly for you to be able to gamble you need some money at hand so if gambling now happens to be your mains source of income how do you get money to fund your main source of income? And on bad days when you happen to loose everything to the casino how do you get to replace your lost funds so you can continue the next day??

Because it's your main source it should be able to fund itself but where it can't then it shouldn't be considered as such because I don't think even a casino owner wouldn't advice you do such, getting to the level of professionalism in gambling is not something that could most likely be achieved in a day just like that, you must have gone through series of losses and built multiple strategy to get your self consistent with winnings such that you will be considered a pro.

But then is there ever a pro in the game of gambling? Because the casino takes from everyone and also gives to everyone on a lucky day, this has nothing to do with your level of experience, so t don't really see someone attaining professionalism in gambling except that by experience you get to a point where you take More calculated risk which most times turns out in your favor but also goes south too at times. So it's definitely not defined.

Using gambling as a source of income, if purely betting then I go with your sentiment very risky and if ever that there are people who can manage to do it surely it's a small percentage or maybe next to almost zero, gambling was design for casinos to take that edge, maybe there's time that you can be lucky but in terms of regular winnings that's something that very hard to do.

Though there are other ways to earn from gambling aside from betting itself, referrals or something that will give you some extra bonuses when you manage to wager some that may give a little amount of money but not as a main source of income just a small percentage or amount that maybe you can earn by doing a task.

I guess the guy already knows that there is no way to avoid the risk of gambling. I guess he was trying to talk about minimizing the risk. But I don't think whatever tricks work every time. If people start betting on low-odd games with the hope that the risk is minimal here, well that does not happen all the time. We have seen such a day earlier this week. Big teams lose against small teams the odds are too low. So, even if someone places bets on 1.01x odds, he still has a chance to lose the bet. So yeah, people already know about the possibility of losing their bet as winnings are not guaranteed.

In reality, it seems very extreme to me that things when a Successful player has an income of 8000-1000usd, it is something that I personally see as very Extreme , and it seems Very good to me at the same time, I believe that these things can This Occurs as long as a person has about $300k-$500k in a casino, because any movie could not make that money entry , so I think things can happen like that, otherwise I don't think that a balance of $20k can have that income, it seems like something impossible to me and to have income like that you need to have a lot of Patience, a lot of determination and the epxierecinaue is something that can determine it, so in this order of things, I believe that a jaguar to have that income can do the same thing, and with just a few plays you can do it, maybe in 30 days it takes more than a day, but it's easy to win in a casino when you have a lot of money, that's what I think you can do.

But if a person has that income, it makes me very happy, because he is successful in all his splendor, he does not waste time on it, he knows what Casinos are for, and well, he has a unique experience that can be used at all times, What I think about people like this is that they should always have their own strategy, which was discovered over time, and I find it quite curious that they can do something so effective in a short time, I would even want to reach that level and it also gives me uncertainty in which games you can do it, how you can do it when or at what time you use it, if it is in sports betting, if it is in roulette, if it is intra-round, how your bets Usually are, all this is what we must consider before To do anything, the income of a person that is greater than 500usd in some cases I already consider him successful, if a person does this, he is honestly above Average , then these types of things are what should inspire us to be Better at the game Every Day.

It's okay to chase the VIP level, but a gambler should be able to see how much money needs to be used to reach the VIP level. It isn't worth it if he uses a lot of money when he can't win too often. It's better for him to stick to his allocated funds each week or month and play as usual so he doesn't think about reaching the VIP level. He also won't rush into gambling so he can enjoy every moment of gambling. After all, if he continued gambling as usual, he would reach the VIP level sooner or later without chasing it.

Gamblers will keep coming back when they are curious about other games, have lost many times, haven't been able to get their big win, or enjoy gambling at the casino. If he is a wise gambler, he will manage his gambling time so that he will not have any problems in gambling and can also enjoy gambling to prevent his gambling addiction.

Hold on, there's no avoiding risks in gambling, that's why it's called gamblin, otherwise it would be called doubling your money.
And people who play all the time definitely acknowledge and think risks involved, they are just accepting them as part of the gambling. Yes, all gamblers take informed calculated risks, but they are still risks. No amount of knowledge about sports can take them away. Without risks there wouldn't be any possibility to win. Higher the risk, higher the reward and so on...
