~If we can't control strong emotions like anger, fear (maybe, greed too) once they are triggered, we should do our best to avoid situations where such emotions arise and take control over us.

That's a possibility, of course, but since it is very important for our daily life to know how control those emotions, we can use gambling as a great playground for practicing the necessary skills. I mean, when someone is bad at math, he can avoid situations where his lack of knowledge may cost him, but, alternatively, he can learn math from engaging in such situations, and this will help him a lot in the future

Well, I can't say that I particularly disagree with your point

Basically, what you are trying to say comes down to rendering a particular trigger harmless, i.e. stopping it from being a trigger of a certain emotion. For example, you may suffer from acrophobia (extreme fear of heights) that makes you panicky whenever you find yourself in a triggering situation (e.g. on the roof of a skyscraper or within close proximity of a panoramic window near the top of that building). Technically, you could work with this fear and probably get satisfying results after some effort (or should I actually say pain and suffering?). But is it worth it when you can simply avoid such situations and happily live with that?

I know for sure that acrophobia can be treated and overcome(a friend of mine has successfully done that). Was the struggle worth it? Absolutely. Living in a city with many multi-storey buildings, it's very inconvenient, and sometimes embarrassing, to have this phobia.

Now back to gambling. The inability to control emotions is much worse of a problem than acrophobia. If you can't control your emotions, you can get in trouble several times per day even living on a desert island, let alone in a city. So, I think, curing the inability should be a top priority for anyone possessing it. And gambling can help in this regard. You may lose some money in the process, but if you will finally learn how to control your emotions, the outcome is priceless.

There are always going to be some days that you win and some days that you are just going to lose. I like to play a little Blackjack every now and then. But the issue with that and other table games and slots is the house always has a better chance. I try to stick to sports betting for the most part as the casinos make their profit off of bets placed. I also like to stick to playoffs when it comes to sports as it seems like that is when games are least likely rigged. During the regular season someone in the team could place their money on them to lose (being the favorite) and make more off of one game of losing then they would the entire contract. Then play their best in playoffs.

I feel like anything can be rigged but sports is always going to be a 50/50 chance. You will always just win or lose, and for the most part if you bet favorites you (SHOULD) win more then you lose. Though it will pay less to bet the favorite unless you are to bet the spread.

After playing gambling games hundreds of times, without much effort in winning substantial profits at all

In here you have already answered the question below as after a hundred of times without much effort in winning,that means you as a long time gambler found nothing about the secrets(of gaming from playing)so for me as like yours no secret at all but only a Chances to win or to lose

Quote

Which is why, I'm deeply curious to know if there's actually a secret within gambling that would allow me to win more than losing? Any thoughts about this will be greatly appreciated.

After reading pages of this thread we can finally conclude that NO there’s is nothing about secrets and if does it’s not really functional and effective

The secret to gambling is that you should not do it unless you have some kind of edge so the odds are in your favor not the opposite.

We all know how difficult it is to have the odd in our favor and one will see this statement as that which can bring discouragement to the likes of a gambler if odds are the ground to gamble. Personally I gamble based on fun and to just entertain myself, not for the purpose of odds.
Gambling has no secret because its a game base on LUCK and not by any form of specialties from gamblers. The only game that deviate from this is: Poker game, which I understand it rudiments.

Mainly there is no secret in gambling only pure luck when comes. You should not do it if not willing to lose because we may ended up nothing. Indeed difficult to gamble when odd not on our side when playing. Just control our emotions because sometimes it is the result of being in loss in a game.

....

If someone offers the secret in gambling, that means he is going to trick you, and you should better not to trust him. Maybe the secret is how we can trick the opponent so that we can win from them.

Absolutely correct; there is no secret but, we must promote them for those who believed in secret to play. Those secrets some gamblers speak to be are not what they are in the actual sense. Saying you have a secret to gambling is a total fallacy. With the exemption of poker game which actually need learning before play.

Gambling is simply game of luck, so there's no trick at all, and many casinos are countering it by their own rules just like in blackjack there's a counting card trick there, but the Casino's are countering it by shuffling every deal or using a four-deck of cards with special rules. For me, gambling is just a form of entertainment don't believe in any trick or what, enjoy the experience and thrill when you are playing. If you are lucky, go all in! haha

Is there anything really? I don't think so. If you win then win, if you lose then loose, What is your secret? if you compare with cryptocurrency-based gambling to conventional gambling system then it's a different issue, we know crypto-based gambling is much safer than fiat money based gambling, not only that but also crypto-based gambling would give you more pleasure than the other existing thing. so do you want to say crypto-based gambling is the secret of your gambling? I agree with you on this point, but self-control is top-secret for gambling for me, I have discussed a lot of gamblers who gains a lot from gambling, most of them emphasize on the controlling and well managed your money. I think the platform is not a matter, self-esteem and control is the main element of this gambling segment.

Managing our emotions really matters in playing gambling and I think that is the reason none other than that. If we can able to control our emotion it can somehow prevent a big loss ang prevent us for getting addicted on the game. Besides, gambling is all about luck, luck dictates the game whether to win or lose and that's what most of us lack.

There really is no secret to gambling at all. Anyone who believes there is is either gobbled up fully with this vice already or too badly hoping to win that he is already resorting to embrace a myth.

But I don’t understand why people have to seek that secret which is no more than a mirage. Instead of chasing after nothing why don’t they just start to shape up and treat gambling just the way it is? Gambling is not a way to make a life, or money, or even fun. If one cannot get over the fact that gambling is actually losing rather than winning, one should try to find pleasure somewhere else.

The secret to gambling is that you should not do it unless you have some kind of edge so the odds are in your favor not the opposite.

You should play a skilled based game and not a luck based since luck based games always have a house edge.

But I like to tell you based on my experience in sports betting, even if we think we have the edge on our bet as we will only make bet when we are confident but that does not guarantee that we will win since we never know what the outcome of the game.

So that's not a secret after all, a secret is a winning formula that will give you consistent win.

Confidence has nothing to do with getting favorable results. It may even be the reason you'll lose big money. I think everybody knows already that there's no secret to making money out of gambling. Be lucky and know how to handle your money whether you win or lose a bet or a roll. That's the only formula and people who make good money out of gambling knows it.

Control is the key and not confidence. In gambling, you really need to have that inner control, whether you are winning or losing. If you think that you are in a roll of badluck then better stop and not rush and chase that lost.

At the same time, when you are very luck, I will also be cautious and we should stop while we are still on top. In my personal experience, when I started to gamble I don't have control when I in the positive and just continue to push even though I won a lot of money already. And then suddenly my luck turn against me and in the end, lost everything.

My professor in college once asked us (students) why do we play lottery (the reason is almost the same as gambling). Of course, we all said to win money. But he says that's wrong. We play lottery for the thrill and expectation if our numbers will be drawn. I don't agree 100% with that, but there is something in that feeling when you bet on a game and then you watch it on the TV. You definitely get more excited if the team you bet on scores, don't you?

Your professor might be right.
We want to feel a thrill in the lottery games, especially if we can win the jackpot which most people has cannot get that.
I think the feeling will be different if we compare with watching the match on the TV, but the atmosphere will be the same.
I think we can feel more excited when we can present in the show so we can directly watch what will happen next.
If we can watch the match in the same field as the other people, it will give more experience because we can express our feeling directly with the audience.

I think there's no such thing as secret in gambling maybe you were pertaining to the luck. Besides, you won't need any secret in playing gambling because it won't be any help in your gameplay, the thing all matters in gambling is luck. It's more likely a fundamentals. There's one thing I could consider as secret, to control our emotion so that we wouldn't engulf by addiction.

The only secret in gambling for me is to gamble with the limit and know your responsibility as a gambler. In short, self-control that you can able to manage. Yes, any form of gambling was based on luck probably there is a little percent that bases on skills but not too much.
However, people were always looking strategies on their own in order to increase the possible chance of winning but the fact isn't. It will always end up self-moderated.
