Its always nice when we have the chance to win as many bets as we can and thats a skill game. Skill-based game are quite challenging if you have a fairly reliable and hard to beat opponent at the table. I rarely bet on skill as I prefer luck-based game like dice, slot and sport. Even though skill can help to win, but in gambling there is no guarantee that we will win, especially when played online.

I would not believe that people with gambling skill can win more bet and thus get a lot of money. In fact, many of the people who experience big losses at the gambling table are those who have the skill to play. Skill does not guarantee victory, only to increase the chances of winning when playing.

I would love to bet on skill based games like 8-ball pool, clash Royale, PUBG, Carrom etc. I usually play such kind of games a lot but since no betting option available for such games, it's just for killing some time. It will be great if we can also bet on our own abilities!
I think it'd be fun betting on our own abilities. It comes with analysis. I mean, if you win, great. You'll just have to keep it up. But if you lose, you'll also be able to determine what to improve the next time you play. I personally love to watch skill based games. And I think it would also be interesting to watch slots relying on skills and not luck alone.

There are other games that is not mainly about luck, but also skill and knowledge/experience. People also include Poker and Blackjack as one of those skill-based games, I don't know if esports is included in sports betting but it is another example. As you said it is a about gather information and putting your money into a team with a higher odds of winning, it is usually all about analyzing and experience and some luck.
...
AFAIK, just betting on e-sports aren't considered as skill based games. It's more on knowledge and trust on what will happen to the game.

And I quite confused where would you put esports betting since we only have skill-based games and luck-based games, I think it is obvious that it is in skill-based game. You already said that it is more on a knowledge, knowledge about the game, the teams and their capabilities that is why you could analyze what might happen, just like sports betting.

Every game/match odds can be selected based on skills. This will get winning, but that too depends much on luck. Upon the same I believe everything with gambling have little connection with luck. Always a combined strategy leads to win apart from relying on true luck or on complete skills/strategy.

Skill games, as the name implies, requires a certain skill in order to increase your chances of winning in a said gambling game. Compared to most gambling methods like slot machines, the latter requires pure luck as you only need to pull the lever and pray that the odds may be in your favor. On the other hand, poker (which is a skill-based gambling game), involves several methods and techniques in order to increase your chances of winning.

Even if you have a winning combination of cards in a poker round, if you lack the necessary skill to execute a strategy, a person with much worse combinations may steal the victory due to a bluff.

Skill-based gambling games usually tend to last longer in a given round. If you prefer to throw your resources and wish for a lucky day, then go for slot machines or other related gambling tools. On the other hand, you want to at least test your skill in a gambling game (which is usually longer), then poker would be the fit for you.

If you are always playing that specific game such as poker, you don't need to study or exert more effort to know the information about it. It's already on you because you are already playing the game and the winnings depend on your experience and approach to the game. Skill games are better than traditional games, we shouldn't always rely on luck.

The more experiences and strategies you have in a skill-based game, the more chances of winning.
Experience and mental are the most important in the game that we will do, including betting in the traditional way that skill is needed because with experience, skills can be combined into a useful combination to play because in every game we want to play, of course we must have skills, including sports and I think the game of luck is just dice and slots don't need much skill to play.

Personally I am a big fan of these types of games.  Not just for slot machines but for all casino types games.  When it comes to slots, it seems like the machines that hit are those that have been played for a long time without any wins, so my strategy has always been to scope out the slots first, see which ones have been played hard, then play.  This is why I prefer skill games, takes a good bit of luck out of the equation.
I think you should be able to provide more experience about this game and be able to provide other strategies besides that because I believe gamblers will not only have one strategy, because until now what I know in gambling venues only relies purely on the luck they have.

There are pros and cons for both skill and luck games. but they do both intersect to the goal of having fun or despair.
(1)With skill base games, you can factor out luck and have a greater chance of winning given that the game you picked to play has something to do with the skill you already have to have an advantage. For most people, pride gets in their way even if they don't have the skill required to play the game, they always take the low road and play this games without thinking at all. Ergo with skill based games, respect to the game, self discipline, and confidence are the main skills you need to have the chance to win. (2) With luck based games, it is mostly a pass time and definitely only luck, but there had been issue of this games being rigged and manipulated to lower the probability of the person to win.
So If I would choose, I would prefer skill based game cause not only that I will have fun, I'll also be able to rely solely on my skills and ability to win these games.

Hey guys Wink

Do you know what skill games are?

Skill games are casino slots where you are rewarded based on your ability to play a game.
In other words, the outcome is determined by your skills, rather than by chance.




I like skill games I'm trying to do it with with horse racing and boxing but it needs a lot of time and effort, it's more challenging tham luck games but there are games that just rely on luck like Dice game and slot machines, even if you want to set up system you cannot because it's guided by luck and chance.

If I'm not mistaken there are some competition of skill-based games rather than the normal competition of fighting games. I saw that there are lots of kids that has been competing in the national championships in this category of games. Whoever passed all the levels with the fastest time, they're the one get the highest score and will become champion on that kind of sport. I was sure that I saw it somewhere on youtube I just can't remember which channel was it.

Poker is an absolutely a game that is not based on luck, it requires skills such as good analytical skill, if you don't have it you're probably just luring yourself into more losses in poker games. Self discipline is one of key skills on games like poker, your win or lose in poker depends much on your self discipline.

AFAIK, just betting on e-sports aren't considered as skill based games. It's more on knowledge and trust on what will happen to the game.

you should have fast instincts on whats in front of you to precisely do this strategy. however, skill games has better chance of winning if you know your game. because if we're talking about luck-based games, you dont have to think on this game, just go with the flow and hoping that luck will strike you. so dont expect also that you are on the winning side on this one.

If those skills games are sports betting, then we really need skill, and yes, I agree that the chance will be better than the gambling games based luck, especially if we really know those games. But sometimes, the skills games need us to learn more or gather more information to select the right method or team/player, especially if we are lack information to choose. If we want to win those games, we need to have more information from other valid sources to increase the chance to win.

Esports Betting is quite different, easy to pick which team has the potential to win, and probably have the higher odds. And winning is not possible but it should have to come up with LUCK. Do some card games require skill and knowledge as well as what you have mentioned but above all, it should also have to connect our instinct. I usually picked teams that have higher odds but still not a winning assurance, LUCK is very important.

But regarding traditional slots or skill games, I just believe that every game will always be good if it is accompanied by skill.
Opposite from what I believe to about slots, dice or any mini games in casino. I don't believe that these games required any skills at all to win, what you need is just a luck and good bet timing. In slots, there's nothing much that you do but to just press the button and see where it lands. In dice you just need to choose between roll over or roll below. If guessing right in consecutives is a skill then they might be. Anyways, all games are made for entertainment, so enjoy  Cheesy
Almost every casino games falls into this category so there is no point of believing we could win the bets no matter how much experience we got with these games in the past.When someone wants to play luck and skill based combo game then they should go for poker where you could win just with your skills but its not going to be easy anyway f the amount is larger.
I have be on the side of skill games as the best games in this century becasue, they are purely base on your ability in your skills. Don't gamble and expect fairness even when the gambling platform said so, we heard about this several times and nothing be done rather just blacklist from the forum. Most of these skill games are still my favorite, especially poker game. Poker is that game i played with 100% assurance of getting back my winnings if the opponent can't match my pick.

It is also the same with skill-based some times.

When we used to bet on a team, for example a NBA team, if they have a great record or a great run in a series, they have a high chance of winning in the next games that just means they percentage is high to win which we would be betting on them. Though sometimes, the lower percentage happens and we have no control to that. Don't forget that we are still gambling, it may be skill-based or luck-based, we are still gambling.

In skill games you have a good chance to win if you only do your assignment  of course you will have to allocate time and a lot of lessons and testing but once you master or accomplish this you are on your way to make continuous profit, many gamblers are making a lot of money from taking up skill games than traditional gambling that only requires luck.
It depends, in poker it is known that even if you have an advantage over other players the competition and the level of skill begins to go up as you go up in the limits, it is not the same to play in a tournament with a small buy-in than it is to play in a tournament that has a large buy-in, the level of competition and advanced play that you will see goes up, also it is known that if you play in cash games and all of you have a high level of skill you will not profit over the long term, you still need a few players that are below the skill level of the rest as poker is a zero sum game.

It differs about your own poker skill. You're close to my view, but with some things i can't agree: In poker, despite skill there big amount of luck in exact game. In a distance, yeah, more skilled person will win. But in one tournament a worst player can win. And it works in another side: you don't need "fish" everytime you're playing, because there is difference in luck, so if you're lucky, everyone who playing in this match against you - fish.

Skilled slots it's also zero sum game (you or casino). In fact, as every gambling game  Smiley

You have to consider factors that will give you some advantages, if you plan it ahead and you able to sum it up while playing
strategy/ skills types of gambling is your advantage.
People who knows how to calculate and have the skills of assessing their level of chances really makes it profitable while those
who are aggressive and wanted to take their lucks most of the time losses along the way.
