Winning for me can be measured by both, the profits and satisfied game because if your winning but you are not satisfied or you didn't have fun then it's useless, same goes with having fun with no profits, yes you enjoyed it but deep down you'll be sad because you didn't have anything. Also in gambling, I consider also a win is when you're able to have self control over anything, it is so hard to do that only few people was able to be successful in doing so.

That is how gambling attracts the gamblers to bet because of the winning process. This some sort of motivation for the users to gamble every time they lose. The more lose they take the more aggressive other gamblers will take the risk in betting and become reckless especially in decision making.

However, it is still good to gambling after some losses and this cannot be explained why but maybe this is because of the motivation and that is winning especially winning money.

When a gambler says he will not stop until he wins, he really means it, so don't get surprised if you see gambler playing straight for 12 hours or more, and even if he losses he always comes back with that goal, that is why these people need professional help, they lose control of their senses to stop.

well, gambling 12 hours or more put serious pressure on the gambler nerves. No matter if he wins or loses (probably both, otherwise it would end earlier, either because win enough, or lost everything) he should get an emotional exhaust at the end. And likely a physical too.

Is it successful profits or satisfied game even if you lose?

In my own opinion, winning can be both. It all depends on the mindset of people playing. If it's just for fun, then no matter the result of the game is, win or lose, you still feel like a winner. But if the mindset is about merely gaining profits, then you wouldn't find satisfaction, thus no winning.

But personally, I would define winning if I have gained successful profits. That definitely feels better.  Wink
I have been part of sports gambling and all that happen in sports gambling is what you try to anticipate and predict will happen. You do the mental calculations based on the power data of each team and you come up with a name. In Poker, it is not that thing but a whole probability and you never know what’s going to happen when you put in all your money. A Win could be a random result and not LUCK.

When it comes to gambling you are the only one who can define it, you can play and win but if you lost so much time I don't think you can consider this as winning, you can lose but if you still can control your urge to gamble more, it can still be considered a winning.

The simple definition of winning in gambling will be how we can control ourselves to not go deeper into gambling, and we can prevent ourselves from another loss. People will have different things to define, but as long as we can take control of ourselves, then we are the winner in gambling. Not all gambler can control themselves in gambling, especially if they can find or get fun in gambling because, at that time, they will spend more money.

"Not losing money" Wink

This definition of gambling is true when someone recently join the gambling and he is hopeful that he will not lose the money. But most of the time, he end up losing everything.

Since many gamblers lose money, so for them the definition of gambling should be  " Recover you lost money"  Wink

I think we shouldn't be joking about it because gambling addiction is a serious issue for some people, and what leads to it is the intention of recovering their losses. Regardless of how much you lost, you shouldn't think of recovering it through gambling. Yes you can be lucky and win even more than you lost, but the probability of that is low. While if you will be working hard on a job, the probability of earning money that way is very high. Although there are cases when people are not paid for their hard work, those cases are rare, very rare compared to cases when people lose money with gambling.

For me, if a person has the strength to restrain from chasing their losses, this person is a real winner. In fact, such an ability can help in many real life situations, not only in gambling. Be strong, guys. Play safe.

for me victory in gambling is luck that can double capital so that the results obtained can provide satisfaction and pleasure. many gamblers feel happy if they are able to win the game and of course it can provide extraordinary satisfaction
Gambling is to different from of lottery and we can't just rely on luck cause it will not be the only tool in order to win the game but to work for it will be great. It only give us a higher chances to win if we have luck but it turns into useless if we never have good strategies that we apply in gambling and losses will still be in our end.
Skilled gamblers always have plans and strategy to performed and a system to allow your chances to be much higher than anyone around, luck have a bog influence for you to get something good out from this field but having good system to follow will always paid off.

There's very blur differentiation between what is gambling and what not but talking about the pure gambling, it's totally luck and no one gambling for a long time would make any profit from it. There can be cases of beginners luck, someone hitting a bonus and never coming back to gamble, but a regular gambler would never in life make a profit from it.
Well there have been people who have made great fortunes in gambling and according to them, luck is nothing else but only a form of randomness and this is exactly what we call luck. When you are not sure about the happening of something and that happens, you call it LUCK but people expert at gambling call it a mere random output. In addition, experience does matter.

Most of the gamblers will agree.

But there are some that will not agree with this since they will say that they are having fun. Some of my friends do the same, even if they lose or win, they still think they won since they are gambling with us and having fun with it. For me, the definition of winning in gambling is learning something and that is usually that gambling will not take you anywhere since you are dealing with infinite risks.

Luck is what drives the winning or losing in majority of the games and thus it is important that people do not get carried away too much that can lead to either too much losing if just played for money and not to just entertain themself .

And all the games are different from each other but some has different nature and some of different nature. We know that some games are almost full of luck and you have the only way to win it if you are lucky enough such as dice. Other than luck dependent games the strategic games provide you high percentage of chances to win such as in poker you can take the game to the final bet if you play well.

This is my result in searching the meaning of “Winning”

Definition of winning (Entry 1 of 2)
1 : the act of one that wins : VICTORY

From: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/winning

How would you know that you have really one? Is it just one game? Only one chance where you get the W or the L? Is that already the Victory that is defined or Defeat when you lose?

This came into my thoughts when I read somewhere here in BTCT that when are you going to stop? And a lot of people have suggested that they will stop when they have already won. It got me thinking, how would be a Win?

There could be a lot of factors on when someone is going to stop. It probably depends on what type of person you are but seeing everyone has their own opinions, you could share everything here.

We are in a fast paced world where people would want to have instant income basically instant gratification. Could that be a win already? What is the motivation knowing that you are continue to win and lose when you gamble. What is the TRUE meaning of ”Winning” in gambling for you? Is it successful profits or satisfied game even if you lose?

This is seriously a good question to ask own-self.
Each and every site I deposited my coin, I never withdrew more than I deposited. It's not that I didn't win but I was reluctant to cashout until I had no amount to cashout. And I have repeated that mistake many many times.

LOL. That's the reason why I stopped gambling. I lost 0.5 BTC within few hours and I was too tensed. My girlfriend asked me about it. She knows when I'm lying so at last needed to tell her the truth. She made me promise not to bet again and I have been keeping that promise for last 21 days.

everyone must have a definition of victory in different gambling, for me the victory in gambling is experiencing satisfaction while playing even though not getting a big win but with a little victory that can be experienced can give satisfaction because gambling is only for fun do not fully expect big profits from him
Indeed, thats the right word to define what really winning is in gambling.

But its different for others thus I think the important point is your own satisfaction when you gamble because we have different experience and treatment to gambling.

Well as long as you enjoy what you're doing then its all that matters.
