This is my result in searching the meaning of “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?

My own definition of winning in gambling is; having the require profits after gambling with my initial capital within a time frame on the capital. There is nothing called successful profits in gambling as these games are games of chance were looses can also be recorded within the time frame.

For me it's definitely the latter. If I was chasing profits with gambling I really don't know when would I stop.  How much would be enough for the day? $5? $10? What if I lost $15 the day before? Should I at least "make" that amount today? I try to never think this way, because gambling for me is not about money, but rather about the game. Of course I can feel a bit better when I win some money in the process, but that's just a bonus, while the main prize is the game itself.

Its the satisfaction that makes you feel its enough and you already won. Why does people keep on betting even though they already in negative? Because they are not contented and want more. Its the same when people are already winning and ending up lose again because of uncontentment. Its okay to go home happy and comtented even though you lose all your gambling capital.

In my opinion, winning in gambling can be term as be happy and having fun while play either for win or for lose. I derive pleasure whenever i gamble with friends and also be applaud. Whenever i gamble i never look at my lose for any reason but my happiness in the gambling, i feel relief when i gamble unlike others.

For me winning is not all about making profit, it can also depend on your contentment. I’m happy for a small profit that I get in gambling, I can consider that one as a true winning because I was able to control myself to focus on my limit and don’t play go beyond my target amount. If you able to control yourself, its a great success.

The definition of winning in gambling is winning at the same time, I don't care how big our previous lose is and let it go, because the next test we have to go through is to get the next day's winning. Yes, everyone has personal assumptions, but sometimes when I have a high bankroll, I will try to cover the previous lose in the next day, this is something that can not be explained in my opinion, because in gambling we definitely feel a little breathing relaxed when getting winning even though it did not cover our previous lose.

When I first started gambling I was thinking that I would be a winner when I will accumulate the amount of money that I was targeted to. This made me only playing and playing more, making me be far away from my target as the gap was getting bigger. From that time I realized that this is not gonna happen, I see gambling as a way of entertainment and this is how I win from it.

Winning for some people is to gain profit and for sure they are more satisfied if they are able to achieve that. IMO, there is no specific decision of winning because every gambler have their own standards that defines winning. If you ask some gambler about this, money can be the reason why but its really depend on that person on how they treat gambling.

Tackling the gambling for long in your life for long run will be considered as winning in gambling in my opinion.The people who are gambling for longer period in their life without got much influenced by the gambling in their life also the one won in gambling.I don't considered winning about money in gambling because its not going to happen in the long run.

On OP, definition of winning is the literal one but all players do have their own definition.On my part, winning for me is on the sense that you do able to get the leisure and satisfaction on enjoying while you play which you aren't being stressed out and not really minding on how to make income from gambling because if you do treat the other way then you will surely wont able to be satisfy unless you win big time.

If you made massive profit in one time and every individual have their own profit tolerance.
For example :
Player A gamble with 0.01 and made profit 0.01 , Player A stop gambling because it's succeed make 0.01
Player B gamble with 0.01 and made profit 1 BTC, finally player B stop gambling !

We i guess its harder to go home happy and contented if you lose the capital after you gambled ,i believe that for us to carry this attitude when in gambling is to have a enough capital before going to betting.and to have one goal and that is to play enjoying and not looking for profit ,so if chance happens you win atleast thats only a bonus ,isn’t a good idea?

The winning trick will not be derived from gambling because no one is the right person to say hundred percent profit will get from gambling is possible because gambling will not understand by the people at anytime but it can be definitely find by some people in take period of time.

I think the winning in gambling says winning after getting profit from how we entered into that so we are winning lots of time in gambling but at the end the profit will not BA required about this will be the big problem for all of us so the required profit will came for us then will be the true winning in gamble.

yes right, the definition of each gambler will be different. they have their own standardization and that will determine what a gambler wants to achieve. to me that gamblers must be able to think as well as possible and they must determine whatever target they want. indeed this is basically entertainment, but it doesn't matter that when a gambler decides to determine how much money they want to get.

There is no definition of winning in gambling or as a skill, simply luck decides everything. People who take money on gambling praise how well they play, and in fact they just follow them happily. But one good advice I received from a friend who is no longer in my country is that before I sit at the table, I watch half an hour what happens on the table and I follow the game. It has helped me many times, I followed closely and I easily won what really means to me.

When the gambling gives you the winning then it will be a most important things to notice in our mind because the prophet will not be always happened in the gambling so once you entered into gambling and leave that field into profitable amount it will be a huge success for you so I think it will be the right meaning.

No matter how worst the losing stats is, once a gambler won, it's a "won". In here, they achieved a purpose of getting a win against the risky gambling.

But what is the real definition of winning in gambling in deeply general means?

My thoughts? There is no general answer for this as different gamblers have their own means of the term "winning".

The bottom line, "Satisfaction at it's finest".

Will not go deeply anymore with my thoughts as it requires more writing but Im open at any discussion. As of now that's my quick statement.

I believe winning in gambling is having fun , spending the least amount of money possible. Also, it's possible to make money, but that's a plus.

When I was younger I used to play poker with my friends. My goal was to pay the pizza with my profits (I was able to do that often). It was a very pleasant experience to eat that pizza for free

I will go with sstisfaction.
When you start to become a gambler you tend to not enjoy the game anymore. It doesnt satisfy you anymore and you are there just to get back the loss from the other day or last week.
When you cannot forget about it anymore then that is when you should realize it aint a game anymore.

Gambling is part game and part addition of excitement while betting your money.

I remembered before when I enjoyed playing poker but there is also a time that it just gives me stress in my life.
 There should be rest for some time and try to miss the game. Forget losses and just play the game. That is Victory.

In other word is that winning is to achieve a greater reward in just a single day? Anyway, it doesn't matter it just really depends on how people want to define winning because some of us may treat winning as an accomplishment, satisfaction, getting the target, or an all-in(it's more like a YOLO ;D). The bottom line is that no matter how long you gamble but if you hit that jackpot right there, that's a total winning.

Honestly difficult to stop playing gambling specially if i think it's my lucky day rapidly get the betting money on that's day but i have experience on that scenario I cant follow my greed control during that time so at the end all my money are lose. But I am not regretting  on that happen because the money I'll bring is allocated for the gambling but I regret because I can't control myself atbthat moment huge money to got win become nothing.

This is what I was thinking about, the continuous, probably never-ending gamble that everyone doesn't want but continue to gamble. Has anyone here got a record from the start of their gambling days and the present and see how much would you chase or how much you have gained?

---

Would you also consider it in trading? Basically, it's a prediction if the price is going up or down, almost 50-50 but you could increase your chances of winning by analyzing the market or something like that. I think it's just our human instinct that wants to get back our losses.

---

It had become a habit of theirs that they manage to incorporate everything related to them. They have enough experience to manage in gambling their losses and debts because when one person already knows what they are doing, they could have the advantage on it.

---

Definitely unrealistic in my opinion. If you could make 0.01 BTC to 1 BTC, that person would be more motivated to gamble, hence continuous gambling.

---

I agree that there's no definite meaning for winning (concerning per player). Most likely satisfaction could lead to more gambling. Think about it. You only get satisfied if you win then disappointed when you lose. If a player loses but is still satisfied is kind of weird to me.

yes that is another definition of winning in gambling but for me i have a different definition and that is to win or earn a profit  . i dont see online gambling as fun though other types of gambling that we most see in live carnivals are my kind of fun  and i dont mind if i spend hundreds of bucks just to enjoy my self playing them along with family and friends .

The true winning in gambling for me is when I can control my emotion, I can stop the games in anytime I want, and I don't feel any pressure in the game. And if somehow, I can get a win in that game, I don't think that is winning for me, and I'd rather think that my winning is a bonus for me because so far, I cannot win in big money, so it's not a true winning. But it will differ with the other gamblers, and perhaps they think that the true winning is all about how much money they can get in the gambling games.

I rather choose winning a game when satisfying my desire for gambling, means that if I enjoy win or lose that can be a winning experience for me, though most of the time gamblers seek for earning real cash before they can call it a win, but I guess if we continue doing that addictions will follow, as we will continue chasing to win every time we suffer defeats, so I prefer to enjoy as a definition of winnings so I can cope up after I play no matter what will be the end results.

Yes, but people today are dissatisfied with little profit and not enough, so greed does their own. There are a few people who understand, I think it's easy to actually not do that much, and someone to earn 2 hours, while someone in 5 minutes.

it seems like every player has his own definition with winning. I myself am realistic that win is when you profit in the form of money with any type of game and any game strategy. but of course there are many types of players like you who think that fun is the highest win in gambling

People today are dissatisfied with little profit? As far as I know that is been a thing even before we are born.

We all know how greedy humans are and you don't need to say that it just been a thing these years, it is already a thing in the past. That is the reason a lot of things happened in the past, it started with their greed. Winning in gambling is possible but it is still not that easy since we all know we are dealing with a great risk here, depending on our lucks will not always cut our way through to good life.

That is correct, others are happy to win little amount, but others tends to be greedy and target more. But others just wanted to have some fun and it they won then its just some consolation. So the definition varies and there's no generalized term, in my opinion.

In gambling, you will be a loser or winner as long as you have won more than lost in a currency value. Say you have won 1 BTC and lost 0.90 BTC in one day. At the end of the day, you are winner. That's how I think gambling. No matter how much bet you have won or lost. You have to count it in currency value.

Walking away with your profits is always a win for me. Any kind of win big or small as long as you don't gamble the money that you've won from the casino that's considered a win in gambling. Having the guts to resist yourself is tough i've seen a lot of people share their gambling stories here in the forum winning multiple times and then they go back again just to give it back to the casino. It happened to me more than once and those kind of scenarios really hits you hard if you can't contemplate on your decisions.

Agreed with your opinion. As long as I am in profit, it's win for me. People can get a huge win but if they give it back to casino like as you said, where are the winning. In fact, it happen to everyone who gamble at a row.

Yeah it depends like you play the first bet / game and win and it just take 5 mins to walk away with profits. Anyways i think that gambling is not only for profit.

The definition or benefits of gambling should include

1- Time spend while playing gambling and relaxation of mind
2- having fun with friends while enjoying in gambling
3- Last but not the least, taking profit from gambling

If money is least consideration, gambling can be used as a piece of mind.

The definition of winning of course making profit in gambling, some people maybe pay attention to their history winning log, they care about how many times they win or lose, they care about their winning reputation , but for me winning is about making profit, it doesn't matter how many time you win or lose, as long as you got profit then you are winning in gambling

If you made some profits from today's gambling then you won it today it may change tomorrow or even in the next bet if you want to gamble again.It is just an entertainment purpose so as long as we are using it for fun not for serious life matters we won the fate of gambling.

To me win in gambling is simple. One doesn't need to win successively for a long term or number of events. One who has got an earning out of gambling when he calculates his entire spending on gambling if he has got excess earning than money spend from the pocket he's a winner. In this perspective I'm not a winner, but learned lot about the do's and don't in gambling. Hope I'll get turned to a winner soon.

Yes, every gambler definitely wants a win, but it is a difficult thing to achieve. The gambling game is more directed towards entertainment, in the gambling game we will find it difficult to determine the target we want to achieve. We only need to do what we want, we try and try to win.

Everybody can have their answers to describe winning from gambling but i have my own answers to describe it and for me the definition from winning in gambling is very simple that you can won your bets and get decent money and quit from the game with feeling satisfied because the profit too were satisfied me

I think it is the amount of time to amount of money you spent on gambling. If you are spending less than 1 dollar an hour of gambling then you are kind of winning. Not winning in the money sense but if you spend time on something for an hour and spend less than 1 dollar on the hour that is really worth it.

For example, I try to calculate how much money I have spent on gambling and how many days I have gambled (its hard to calculate the hours every time, sometimes I forget to check the clock) and so far I spent about 3.5 dollars per day of gambling in the past 6 months, that to me is easy.

By the way this is not every single day, not like I have spent 3.5 dollars every day on gambling, this is 3.5 dollars on each "gambling day" which is probably like 100 days at max. So if you can drop the price low enough to make it less than 1 dollar per hour, the entertainment value is enough to say you are winning.

For me, the definition of winning in gambling is not by simply winning, you in yourself would know what WINNING is, and in my own perspective of winning in gambling I think that you are winning if you know that you're making trades perfectly, trading your money and getting out the maximum potential profit out of it, and that is simply winning in gambling.

This was the reason why many casinos were opened, maybe the human greed is smaller may not be the case. The biggest profits for people who hold this casino come from the greed of people. What do you think the casinos would open if there is no profit, it's not a billiard club, nor a darts club, it's a place where "luck" brings results.

Crazy things maybe crazy, and yet playing the game is also a risk that anyone should be aware on it. Losing money all the time you play but enjoys a lot of it is considered as winning. The fact that you're only there just because you want to relax and play then you might not consider winning all the time, you can afford losing money if thats the reason why you'll end up being happy.

---

It's also the case, both the house and gamblers are way too greedy in terms of money. Nothing can change that, all is well in the house not unless they're capable of doing something for the gamblers always win.

Money is loved by people, as long as it can provide them what they need, money will always be the number 1 thing in terms of business and so does the attitude of being greedy, wise, and selfish.

It is just a normal feeling as a human, we could be alive today because of money and so the others things. Money will become a vital thing for us in order to survive thats why people will tried and do something just to have it.
Yes, we've been need to be greedy, wise and selfish if that's the only way to sustain our needs and fulfill our dreams, we can't deny that. Many were become billionaires because they do that things and so do I.

The definition of winning in gambling is having a luck and earning a lot of money after leaving at the casino.

It's true that winning in gambling is all about winning a lot of money. How does luck show the definition of winning in gambling ?

Luck is really one of the reason why people start to win in gambling because without luck you will end up losing a lot of money in gambling. That is why i only gamble and go to the casino whenever i feel lucky to win a lot of money, so i could buy the things that i wanted and used it to play again. Winning in gambling is really difficult because you are not the only person who has luck or has a chance to win, that is why playing gambling (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/stellar-spins?utm_source=cc-ss) is risky for every person who enters inside a casino because not everybody in a casino has a luck or a chance to win.

This isn't the true definition for winning in gambling. When one gets into gambling what he has is limited knowledge about it, further by the end of the day when he calculate what he earned out of various events if he have at least a single penny above the amount he spend on the entire events then it is a winning. This is how I consider a winning in gambling.

The definition of winning depends on the goals set by the player.

Some players gamble juste for the sake of the game, winning or losing doesn't matter for them as long as they are enjoying the game and having fun.

If you gamble to earn money then you are a winner only when you stop gambling and get out with more money than you depisited.

TBH if I only lose a little bit I consider myself a winner at gambling.  Taking 100$ to a buddies house and going home with 50$ is still winning to me.
Part of your gambling experience has to be fun otherwise it is similar to your job.
If we share a few laughs and a few drinks then I consider myself a winner  even if I dont take home more money.

That's exactly what I was trying to say.
You didn't lose that money but you spent it to have fun in return.

Well, before one enters a gambling site he already have the goal in his mind. Does he wants to win or just to enjoy the game. Whichever of the two goals is met then there lies his success. If he lost money in gambling but that didn't really matter to him or did not really affect him but he was satisfied the way he played the game and he was happy then that is also another form of winning. Winning is not just money matter. If your expectations are met then you have won no matter how much money you've spent. Just my opinion.

In gambling everyone of us has our own definition of winning.
For me, everytime I win, I already called that winning and I don't really seek for consistent winning in gambling as I know it's a hard job to do.
I win and loss because that is gambling, but one thing I know is that every time I win I feel the happiness in gambling and for me that's winning.

True that gambling is entertaining but it could satisfy us more if we can win, though this does not happen most of the time, but the happiness we get in gambling is very different compared to other things, seems like only gamblers would understand how a gambler feel in this kind of entertainment.

Then it will be difficult because we don't know when the luck comes. Besides that, we are difficult to make a lot of money from the casino although we are lucky to win the game. But when the luck comes to us, we could win in just one-time no matter how much money we could win. But still, to detect the real luck is not easy because sometimes we can win the small money many times and I consider that it is the other small luck too for us.

Well, we don't know whether we are lucky or not but all we know is that if we are winning good amount of money we should consider getting out of the casino or logging out of our gambling site account to ensure the win. There are a lot of times that gamblers win and I know that there are also the share of losses but if we are good enough, we can earn a lot.

The definition of victory depends on your strategy in playing, and the strategy I mean is that you have to stop playing when you win the game and calm down in playing.
in general when you always win there will be a feeling of lust to continue playing and without control and without realizing it will plunge you into defeat and will lose everything.
playing with intelligence will give you luck to win and stop when you win.

Yet winning is depend on each gambler how they consider a win or not,because as we know what characters made by gambling to every gamblers and many of them turns more greedy and un satisfied

If you really want to have fun,you will not consider losses the amount you play for satisfactory because even in normal ways of enjoyment we spend money to satisfy our wantings

Every people have their own measure or objective on how much they want to gamble.
Personally I stop gambling or winning when I reach 10% profit from initial deposit.

Yes, it's small but if I can do it every day, it's yield more than you can obtain from bank's interest

Because we don't know when we will stop to gamble completely, I described winning as gaining profit in a single session. There are days when I can change a small amount of money into the amount I desired and usually I will cash out it or save it into my personal wallet. To be honest, there are many days when I am unlucky and lose my balance. But because I only use the amount of money that I can handle, I am able to forget such misfortune.

In gambling it is not as easy as you say to stop when you get a winning because to get a win in gambling is difficult and again on the other hand there are also those who stop when they are beaten for lose streak and bankruptcy. So, the definition of winning is when you make a profit target in gambling and if you can reach the profit target then you are able to stop then that is the right decision in gambling which means you can control everything well.

The definition of winning in gambling for me is when you reach the streak. If I am on a winning streak, I can consider myself as a winner.

The definition for me of "Winning in Gambling" is when i could finally stop gambling. Ive been on and off from gambling and cant manage to stop completely. That is what the meaning of "Winning in Gambling for me. I know everybody wants to stop at some point of their life but its just hard to do so.

---

I did stop a few months ago and i though ive won, but theres some force that keeps me attracting to gambling. Once it runs it your system its hard to let go of it even if youve stop for moths.

It's impossible to reach the winning streak in gambling especially in dice feature gambling. For me, what is the thing that we consider as a definition of winning is if you found that you have your profit and your balance has increased the amount. But the problem is when at the point would you stop in gambling. Be contented with a small profit and stop and come back in the next day.

If you return and lost everything you won, then honestly, i wouldn't even consider my previous sessions as winning. In case of gambling, its the total amount of game you played until you stopped for good would be considered as a session.
The definition of winning in gambling is different for different person. One might think he won when he is able to make profit. Again, one might think he won after is able to chase back his losses. Heck, some might say he won after he is able to quit is gambling addiction.

Its good that people end up on the winning streak and consider them self very lucky because majority of them will end on the losing note as wining from gambling is not a easy and then people who specifically just play for making money would have a bad time. Instead if played for fun and won money much better it is.

Because I have so many losses in gambling, my definition of winning in gambling already changes, and is now to extract fun from this industry.  :P If I am enjoying the game without overly thinking that I will get broke afterwards, then I consider myself just giving a break from this life and winning in the situation. But if I truly win the game, then that is a good bonus for me.

For me, my definition of gambling is that "you are going out of gambling with a profit". Simple as that.

Its obvious that you can only win in gambling if you are going out in gambling with profits but to be honest, this is hard to do especially for those gamblers who can't control themselves and will gamble until their money runs out. If you go out with profit then you can call yourself winner "for the day". Your luck doesn't be the same everyday so I specified "for the day".

Most times we all win in gambling and that is because you can only loss and some on win.  It is actually 1 to 2 . I gamble for fun and with little amount of funds as possible in other not attached my thinking on winning and lossing.

My definition of winning in gambling is when I can win the money especially if I can hit the jackpot, that will be simple for me. But I admitted that it will difficult to reach since, in the gambling game, I still depend on the luck itself which I don't know when it comes. So far, I can accept if I only win small money and I will consider that it is my winning in gambling.

Interesting question.
But I really doubt that people can get satisfied after playing so well and lose a game. Maybe the winner takes it all culture in gambling could be changed to reward all impressive/entertaining players?

NIce mindset here mate,but ofcourse you need to limit the amount to be spent right?because if you will deal with that BROKE word I guess the happiness will be just short while when you still playing but after that and return to reality then you will realize the losses os not enough to make you truly enjoy

For me the definition of winning in gambling?If you can control yourself from losing high amount and just to consider this for fun and enjoyment without spending too much

There is no winning in gambling,what matter is we made profits or face losses is going to determine our thinking about gambling.I am not a fan of gambling because we are not going to make profits in the longer by doing it so just need it for excitement but we can make it from other ways for less costs.

Gambling playing for fun is the best way to think about it. You cannot control the lose or win in gambling and it is only the fun which is in your control. If you free up yourself from the fear of losing, then only you can enjoy the gambling. But for this to achieve you have to have a lot of money so losing some of it does not matter to you.

When we talk about gambling there is no winning or losing since it is a long process and you are going to have a taste of both of them on the road. I would say winning is applicable only if you are a normal person that is gambling once a month to try your luck and at the end of your session you are in profit, then you can call yourself a winner. Otherwise, if you gamble often you can't say if you won or lost since this is a constant battle.

each definition has a different meaning how to win its just luck, well about expertise at gambling there is no one who is very expert like the story in the movie. I often read gambling discussions and examined some of the threads initially just trying to gamble and it was difficult. by the way win and lose are just words everyone who gambles I see just want to have fun

Winning in gambling has a broad meaning. It could not be literaly making profit in every bet you made in general, because you cant really win everytime, and even if you win today and tomorrow, you'd still comeback on the other day If youre into gambling real hard. Gambling are supposed to be just for fun and making a profit out of it is just a bonus. So, imho winning in gambling is, being satisfied with the outcome after you walk out of the casino, no matter if you had muliplied or lost your capital.

You cannot feel us because you are not fan of gambling.

There is winning in gambling and I can tell you that based on my experience, and not only that it's fun in gambling.
Maybe when it comes to consistency it's hard to achieve, but sometimes if we are lucky we also have a chance of winning.

Depends on what you value more. If you are playing for fun, no amount of loss should make you feel bad. If you  want to earn money though, winning is when you made a profit on your capital. Something that is difficult to maintain in the long run.

That's correct, therefore we should convince ourselves that gambling is only for fun.


With the house edge, it seems impossible.
Gambling is not a place for people who are ambitious to win big but lack of skills, you have to be smart in order to win and that requires dedication.

You proof your point but to me winning in gambling doesn't have to do with the W but self satification with what you earn for the day, be able to walking away with instead of spending it all on gambling or setting a limit and sticking to the planned. Since such person have nothing to loose then he's a winner.

It could be different for different people. People have different approaches and mindsets which results in different opinions. In addition, for me, you are a winner in gambling when you can control your nerves. This is a winning mindset. Gambling is a game of uncertainties and the output could be determined by the way you make your strategies and the way you play. In addition, if you believe in luck, you might feel a bit more at ease.

Keep in mind that there are gambling games that dont need any skills or knowldege  . all you need is luck and you can possibly win big on them but it might require dedication due to the gambling difficulty and luck dont also strike all the times  .  


Why not ?  People actually play gambling because they think that they can double their money ( which is a bit true , as long as your luck gets you )   gambling do also have big jackpots that you cant find anywhere  .

The definition of gambling is not determined by the victory we have won, for me personally that victory in gambling is when we can control emotions.
Gambling is not based on a victory because in my opinion gambling is a way to get pleasure. When we can get pleasure, we have won.

No doubt in it, gambling has a broad meaning, we have a lot of sentence to explain about the definition of gambling. But in short, every gambler explain about it, what we want from gambling. Just like for me, i spend my time with gambling because of fun and entertainment with my friends.
But in the other side an addicted gambler play gambling for earn money and his definition will be about gambling that gambling is a source of money where we could earn money in a minute.

For me, winning in gambling doesn't really have much meaning. Once you gamble, dopamine will control you and will try to tell you to gamble for more. It doesn't matter how much money you win, you'll only use it again to gamble. I think it's about that game that makes you a winner. As long as you are having fun and doesn't really care much about how much you profit, you are winning.

Winning in gambling cannot be defined to what it is as long as we have not seen anyone yet making a living full time from gambling as it is impossible.

I know about some persons posting in different gambling blogs and forums of how make a living from gambling but they are only statements of different individuals and they are not true stories which would let us define the winning in gambling.

There are two types of gamblers, those who gamble for money and those who gamble for the excitement, there are some gamblers who even if they lose is satisfied in  how they play and there are who wins but never get the satisfaction because in the back of his mind his past losses are higher than his winnings hard to define winning in gambling.

If you already satisfied such enjoyment that you've desired and you are capable to quit after, we can call that as winning, not unless you are such addicted and you can't no longer define what are the reason why you are dealing with this activity, most of the time people who's looking for quick way to earned are those who can't survive addictions.

For winning in gambling indeed It is surely now possible to earn if you are not having any idea about what you are doing and what you will do in case of being stuck by the opponent gambler, for winning in gambling means having whole command over rules and over the mind of other gambler to win and beat him with your skills at his weakness and mistakes.

That's a very nice definition, it shows your maturity towards gambling and you understand your chances of winning.
If you will stay discipline and do it with the purpose of having fun, I'm sure you will enjoy everytime you gamble as any loss will not affect your negatively.

I think the only time one should look at gambling as a fway of earning money is if the person don't have to spend his own to play. I've seen on show that there arrangements like that, people pool their money and have someone play for them. The "investors" get their share and the player is given his commission. If they went bust then the player losses nothing and the financiers don't lose much.

They got addicted because of money, if the purpose is having fun then they will choose video game to fulfill his passion. I haven't met someone who really use gambling as for having fun only, most of them play gambling just for money, just it. They got addicted because they have been losing a lot of money so as they will try hard to recover it. Because of this, I just believe that the definition of winning is when a gambler won and got a lot of money so as they can recover the money has been spent before.

That is very true mate; I think my own definition of winning in gambling is having that feeling of utmost contentment and fulfillment in the game irrespective of the amount gained. Maybe because I gamble for pleasure but I do not give up until am satisfied on the game and been satisfied is not as a result of money, there’s just this point I would feel like I’ve done enough for the day and am happy with our without winnings, that kind of feelings is what I call Wining

This will only apply to people who view gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a method of earning a quick buck or as a scapegoat to answer debts/payments. Like what you guys said, no matter how large the losses may be, if the person sees gambling that provides him/her satisfaction then no amount of loss could ever make them feel bad.
The only problem that both people have is addiction. In order to win in gambling, the key here is to have self-control and discipline.

That was right, having self-limitation and be contented as what you have set amount that you have to afford in a gamble. Whether win or lose if you've reached the limit you should stop right there. That is your winning definition in gambling because you know that it is for fun to you and get entertainment on your self not chasing your losses or think that gambling is your source of income, which is a big mistake.

For me gambling is game which give you fun for money. You put in your money, play gambling and have fun. If you go with this mindset then there will be no issues even if you lose, because you have already made up your mind that you will spend money to enjoy the fun of gambling and any win in gambling will be considered as a bonus.

Yeah because win is not just about profits in the form of money right ? Winning can be mean as you feel happy also when playing
gambling, win is when your goals in gambling are fulfilled, yeah many people have a goal to find pleasure in gambling

Winning has one definition; victory.
However, the meaning of victory for everybody is different, it is also in the gambling.
In gambling itself, IMHO, winning means where we can manage and control ourselves being involved in gambling, not only about winning on the game but also winning on how we can see the prospect, the strategy, and also the chance to win. It is about how we can gain certain profits, not for greedy.

The definition of gambling for me is when I feel satisfied which mean either I lose or I get profit. Gambling just for an entertainment for me, I don't care how much money I spent when I start to gambling and how much money I get when I have a lot of win, because my intenstion is feeling satisfied, feeling happy and feeling that gambling is one of the place that can make me calm down.

Unless you get too carried away that you lost more than you can afford haha. But you're all right. The definition of winning can vary from a gambler's motive and point of view. I know a rich person who can stay in casinos for days and would lose big amounts but plays anyway because it takes his mind away from stress. From my perspective, it seems a bad idea but i'm not him and he's not me. So whateverakes you feel better should in a way be a win already.

I think the definition of gambling means it will give the satisfaction and the success at the end when only we can see it will be the perfect gambling so I think it may be possible in very low ratio of percentage because most of the time we don't get satisfied in gambling till we are getting that success.

Success is what at the end of the gambling those who just play for the money has to win money and then only it is a successful thing. And for rest who play for fun and entertainment and once they enjoy the game they think they are successful in gambling and enjoying the fun.

Gambling is really created for the sake of entertainment but having that kind of winning definition then most likely
it would matter the most on winning the game and making some money in the end of the day and this is how most people
do really sees it but there are people who don't matter on profiting as long they enjoy the game and get the entertainment
they do seek then its already a fine thing for them and making money is just a bonus.

If you didn't lose everything you got, you can call yourself a "winner" in my opinion.

It takes courage to control yourself. It only takes 1 second to lose everything.

Some people make some real fat stacks from gambling though. They are not many but they are real. I wonder what they call themselves.  :D

I play gambling for entertainment and I enjoy every pleasure I attain from the game but that does not define winning to me.
No matter how much  pleasure I get from playing, I still feel depressed when I make few loses and the joy is much more increased when my bankrolls are increased.

Winning in gambling is simple; it just means to be victorious in the game or to stay on top of the game, so victory to me is winning to me. There’s just a particulars I get whenever I succeed.

Not every people who were gambling goes bankrupt so we can call them as winner of gambling?

But we should definitely call the people as winners who is capable of controlling while betting,if we don't have that then we will probably lose huge.

Maybe they lost their money but at least they enjoyed their time.
Think of it as they spent that money to buy a painting or classic car, would you call them losers?

Yeah exactly mate palying gambling is not all about earnings or making money is all about for satisfaction wvery player to make them happy.

Anything which give us pleasure and satisfaction is best one for us. I have seen many players who even win in gambling but are not satisfied and keep on thinking if they could have win more etc. 
If you are satisfied / Happy after playing gambling, then it means you have taken full advantage from gambling.

There are many people who say that winning can be obtained from fun, because they see gambling as entertainment. I think fun actually comes from the benefits you get from gambling ? maybe it's just my mindset, but I can't be happy if I don't win and lose?

True, if one is to make a living out of this, the person must not be a gambling addict himself. Else he'll just end up blowing through his allocated budget and getting more money from elsewhere to keep playing, hence the permanently indebted gambler stereotype.

It would have been great if we all play gambling for entertainment and fun. But this is not the reality in real. In real world, the definition of gambling is quite different. Gambling is considered as a source of income where people come to play gambling in order to try their luck and win. It is also a way in which people will lose their money quickly.

Accept it or not people going to lose money while gambling when they are doing it longer so the one who considering it as source of income were just lazy or not smart.Winning on gambling can be considered as like won 100000x profits on single bets but it rarley happen with one in million people.I don't think I am that much damn lucky so I never try to win on gamble,just play there with money I have.

So when you already agreed on the point about not having a handsome ratio of satisfied people, then it couldn’t be the definition of win in gambling. For me, there isn’t any happy thing to be considered or even concerned about gambling.

It makes you dead mentally and financially both. You start losing the concept of humanity and relationships and doesn’t worth any valuable item. So how can you assume anything happy with it?

Yeah when you win you feel good and you enjoy your gambling, while choosing a game try to choose the one which you have good interest for because taking interest increases the profit, winner is the one who plays but never let his money get deducted and increase it with his skills and with his way of gamble well on right time.

Well, winning for me is when you probably you double or triple your fund. Even if you lose but you still gain profits and did hit your winning goal, we can still say that we achieved our vicyory. As long as you felt satisfied with the results with having fun at the same time, you can still say that you won.

If the balance you really have has increases it means you are winning in gambling.  It is important for us not to be looking at the number of losing and winning but looking at the rate of change in the amount.

The number of our winning in gambling, it is hard to achieve. But it is right if we win in gambling by rating of amount of winning then it is good for us and definitely we have right definitely of winning in gambling. Again i said only few gamblers will be here who have more winning than losing.     

I will not call them as a loser, because they know how to spend the money on their hobby. People who still have money while they are playing gambling and decide to end the game and quit to gamble will be the winner because they can control their passion for gambling. Maybe they can call as the winner in gambling.

For people who do spend out money to buy up things like painting or classic car then it cant really be considered as losers but rather buying things related to their hobbies.Its
quite different when it compared to gambling yet we know that playing gambling do only gives out leisure and satisfaction and money is just a bonus compared to those who bought
physical things which once had been bought you can see it on your very own eyes.

Yes.Winning in gambling refers not just about money matters but also the satisfaction of a person he had felt while he was gambling.Even if he lose or win in that time,as long as he enjoyed the game,he is still a winner of his own.And winners are also those gamblers who can control their own emotions not to be addicted on it after a long time spent in gambling.

Winning is what you make of it basically. For some people it's about the prize money, in which case few can be called winners lol. There are also those that, as you've said, is playing for satisfaction and just for the experience. I think this category has more winners than the other one.

Simply speaking, it's only just a feeling where lost in never to be found on an individual while palying certain games. Though regrets has to be considered if only you have lost all of you can't affor to lose.

Getting a jackpot doesn't make you a winner unless you're happy about it. That's just a mere example of defining winning in these context.

Gambling for fun is not enjoyable if you will not win , thats why winning is still the one that defines them but they wont mind loosing because they arent playing to earn an income at the first place  . but i dont think many are playing for fun . i still beleieve that lots of people are playing a gambling because they always wanted to earn a profit but that unfortunately their expectations could fail them .

I dont think people should even play if the win is the only enjoyment because you are on dangerous ground of chasing the win not sitting back and watching  the cards for an opportunity.   

Exactly. You make end up betting and betting again and in the end you win a jackpot but this doesn't cover the whole amount of bets that you have made so far.
I don't think that there is a "winning" feeling in gambling. Gamblers should better watch it as entertainment rather than a competition.

As long as you enjoy playing I think you can call yourself as a winner because your goal is to have fun. But if the time comes that you can no longer control yourself because of too much addiction, then that is the time you are losing yourself and you can be as a losers. Its hard to compare gambling into buying things because in gambling its just a short term happiness while buying cars can give you more years of fulfillment.

  For me all those who play well and who defeat the opponent is a winner, in every game of gambling there are two parties, both are playing and the one who make the other lose call as winner, I prefer gambling with new gamblers as I am experienced but they are new so why not to take advantage and become a winner.

On some cases, competition can also be seen as a kind of entertainment in which it is only being abused that's why it isn't having any good effects of being fun.

Though winning is a serious thing in this kind of entertainment so we can't blame people for having focused on achieving that goal.

That goal is only achieved if you win a big jackpot or a lottery as this is a sum that you can't lose it in a short amount of time after you have won it.

Every other kind of winning no matter how big of a win is you can lose it shortly after you have won it, that is why the definition of winning in gambling is only when you win a lottery or a big jackpot.

That's a good differentiation, gambling enjoyment can be treated as a good source of using your spare money and time, you can call yourself as a winner each time you enjoy your stay, but it will be a big concerned when you already loses control of your engagement, when you are longing to stay not using spare money but using your entire savings.

Well if thats the case then for sure addiction will spread the world of gambling and the occasional gamblers will be doomed by this.gambling should be enjoyed win or lose and not just for winning

What if they gamble because they have goals not for entertainment or hobbies? but to make a profit. if they lose,
of course it's different from what he planned, would you call him as a losers?

Yes that is what I feel about winning at gambling. You can increase the possibilities of winning if you are able to stay cool throughout the game and think of strategies fully devised to counter the predicted strategies of your opponent. This way it gets more enjoyable when you understand about what you do. But ultimately everything boils down to your experience and understanding of the game as well.

One of the biggest enemy for human kind is our own ego,so when it comes to competition with others then it is just normal to win the games because we want to prove that we are really good at that than others so even in gambling it will just follow up no matter even if we about to lose our hard earned money.

We are just fooling ourselves if we want to feed our own ego.
At the end of the day, it is our hard-earned money that is going to disappear.
Let us accept the fact that there's no such thing as true winning in gambling.
Gambling will always have an uncertain outcome, so always watch out your assets every time you gamble.

This is defined as great when we luckily win, but overall impression wasn't that good if we afterall we can't recover all we've lost previously. Having fun despite of the failures cannot be measured, and as long as you're gaining more chances of winning I think that's the most rewarding when we enjoyed gambling in the same ways as other's did. Gambling's unpredictable outcome might be positive and sometimes negative particularly on financial aspects. Don't be stressed, discourage or put any emotional attachments. Just be cool and have patience, because one day you'll be the luckiest one.

Agreed, ego is main thing but as a gambler, sometime we can't bear our loss. Most of the time, we play with strangers and on the spot we loss the game, then our loss is bigger than our ego, and we are not in the stage where we could bear it that's why we again start it.

I think it's not different. Just imagine for a gambler who spends his money to gamble in every day, but he knows when the time to quit. And whatever happens with his games and no matter how much his money left, he could still quit from gambling. I think it's not a loser because as I said before, he can control their passion for gambling, and he doesn't have to lose all of his money. The feeling of satisfaction between painting or classic car will be the same and it cannot shows by the amount of money because it's a feeling that does not appear to us and only heart that will know.

Agreed.There's no such winnings in gambling because all we got is just lose in the end.Maybe we can say that we won today but if you try to trace your losses in the past,it's not enough to cover up your previous losses.For me,as long as i'm still able to control my emotions towards addiction,then i still considered myself a winner of my own.

usually people will stop when they find new things that can make them busy and forget about gambling. for example new jobs or new hobbies. because even if the money runs out, if the person does not have any activity, they may be in debt to return to play.

Again the thing is, not all gamblers gamble for the money. Many people gamble just for the sake of it and doesn't have in mind what the putcome would be. You can't just assume that it's because of making profits by winning. A lot of gamblers are aware that they're likely to lose a lot but still are willing to make bets because that's what gambling is for them, plain and simple.

Awesome guys! Also, you should check this blockchain gambling system!  http://Faireum.io                  
                  
                  

Maybe but not in all cases, some are even busy with their real job but can still find time for gambling.
I think this is cause by the influence at our younger stage, and we were able to carry it as grow older, gambling is full of excitement
that's why it's addictive and it gives a greatest reward of money if you win.

Yes. Winning in gambling is all about learning how to control your emotions not to gamble again after making profits. If you continue to gamble because of the greed you have, surely the amount you had won a while ago will be back to the casino again because of higher chances that you'll just lose them all.

Well, winning in gambling is a once in a million times thing for most gambler here or at least that is what I am experiencing so far. Unless and until you win a billion dollars in a lottery, you would find gambling quite risky for it is normal for a common man to lose money at gambling.

I think that when you gamble for entertainment, you do your best and give it your best shot and only then things start leading from there. Do not think about wining at gambling. Moreover, make sure you do not rely on gambling for your expenses.

This is the reason why I don't usually play luck-based games. You don't know what could happen and most of the time you are charging with your money blindly, that is a risk though there are a lot of people that do that to earn money. For me, winning is getting out of casino or gambling site with good amount of money won. If people knew that usually in our country, they ask for "balato".

Script allow you earn some funds as the set limit given by the developer team. If you play the dice or any casino games this usually applies to those gambling sites. Please be careful on casinos and then sportsbetting is not working on that way buddy.

As you said for entertainment and for the skilled gamblers this field maybe work well but newbies you need to do more research before you towards it.

One thing I have come to agree with is that in gambling we have more people chasing their loses than actual winners. So saying that one will stop when they win hints addiction is likely to be the result

I wouldn't say this is a win because if money comes in easily then for sure it will go faster than it came! So this isn't a win at all.


For me winning is having more wins than loses, or basically having grown your bank roll from its initial:)

Winning in gambling means that you get a profit with the amount that you use to play even if you don't withdraw it. But if you wish not to withdraw it because you like to play again and lose it then you are not winning anymore, you are losing. We must have to control our emotion when we are playing gambling because it will change everything once we start to be greedy.

I don't really understand what you meant by "stop gambling or winning" because I don't believe gambling can in any way be referred to as winning since there is no guarantee of you winning all the time you gamble with your money.

For me winning is to withdraw more money than I deposited, however, gambling is also about having fun, some days you will win some and other days you will lose some. The goal is to win more than you lose in the period of days, weeks or months you are playing.
The amount you deposited need to be something you can afford to lose, if you're not afraid to lose everything then gambling feels more fun.

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

I do agree. That is one of the best definition I have read so far and I do believe playing gambling does not primarily about just winning but also having that fun and satisfaction whenever you play gambling games because it all that matter after all, gambling is still a game we must enjoy and have fun not just focusing on how we can earn profit from it. That is what I truly believe upon defining what winning in gambling is because that is what I feel and I am satisfied about it. Which I do always apply and have in my mindset whenever I play into the  crypto casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/wild-pixies?utm_source=ccwp) I am currently up to so that I will not take any pressure on playing gambling by treating it as a game to enjoy and have fun with the variety of games they have like poker which I do love and it gives me shiver and satisfaction whenever I play into it considering every game I play as an opportunity to have fun as well as enjoying their great deals of bonuses for doing my deposits in terms of Bitcoin giving me a convenient gambling experience which I enjoy and satisfy me.

I a gree with you. Because I also define victory as you said above. Actual victory can be done by anyone. And they certainly have their respective definitions. For me, victory in gambling is certainly satisfaction in playing every time we play. Indeed, if you think with logic, of course what you feel is defeat, but on the basis of the defeat of the game is certainly what I feel is a victory.

It's definitely true that the true definition of winning in gambling is having satisfaction in having a great experience in playing it that you don't aim to have a huge profit. Honestly, i only gamble for fun and entertainment that i don't usually aim to have a huge winning in playing gambling in a bitcoin gambling site because i know that it is hard to win. I also have experience playing in vegascasino.io and i have enjoy playing on these site because I see great features on these site that will help every users for them to be convenient on using their site which are fast payouts, user-friendly, outstanding bonuses, hundreds of casino games, and great supports.

The basics definition of winning in gambling is we can get some money from the game, and we are the winner in the game. But if we talk about the other things, then keeping the money from gambling could be called as winning too because we don't spend too much money and we want to avoid from the losing bigger money. Besides that, if we are playing gambling for just getting fun, then we still winning in gambling because we can stop the game anytime.

I think that winning in gambling is achieving the goal that we set for ourselves. For most people, this means being the best in this game and win a jackpot, but sometimes it's just a sense of complete satisfaction in how you spend your time. Being happy and happy is what true victory means.

Gambling should always be seen as entertainment. In gambling, you really haven't won anything before you do a withdraw that's bigger than your deposit.
If you just keep playing with your balance you will end up with a lower balance than what you started with, its only a matter of time, before you will need to add a new deposit.
Set some goals where you want to do withdraws, that can be a number you want to win or a date where you will reset your balance.

If it is I only lose some money so my mood is not affected I am winning in gambling.
Sometimes when i lose more then I should I will be is worse mood then if I only lost small amount.
If it makes you a worse person because of your losses then you are not winning in gambling.
Then you must decide if it is entertainment or it is a addiction.

The true definition of winning on Gambling in on where you do get the entertainment you do seek regardless with your losses.
If you do aim for money making with gambling then it isnt really that appropriate yet these things are for entertainment purposes
on the first place.Winning would vary on each gambler because some do concern on winning money literally and some do concern on the leisure
that they do seek.

I agree it is more wise than the people who play gambling games just for money and in the end they have got addiction of gambling games then blame the gambling games, there are many people who don't know how to make investment in gambling games related with cryptocurrencies. They don't know how to make investment in gambling games, should they choose the gambling website which give passive income from their profit of gambling games.

Nobody walks out the casino happy with an empty pocket. Not unless, if he won and made enough profit that satisfy him after the gambling session. Lets be real, when we gamble, our aim is to win. I know some of us gamble for leisure, but lossing aint make it enjoyable, its frustrating instead.

Who would want to lose, but if we already accept that we have a big chance to lose, we will be happy even the result is not good.
The session in gambling is necessary to be enjoyed, especially if you are in a casino, that experience gives real entertainment, we will be more happier if we will also experience a wining moment although in the end we will lose.

Gamblers who play for fun and gamblers who play for profit has different mentality.

With this kind of thinking, it is most likely that they'll end up being broke. It's dangerous to not have a specific strategy. If they won $1, I'm pretty sure they won't stop.

Actually, we could use any achievement word for winning definitely, which give us pleasure.
But when we talk about gambling, then winning mean has been different, just you said i agree with it, but in my opinion, when we win in gambling above our losses then it is our winning.
Actually most of the time, we loss in betting and only one bet we win then we can't say that it is our winning in gambling. 

  There is a lot of definitions on winning. Gamble is very risky and it is about our individual strategies on how to deal and win. Thus, learning from mistakes and complying it to create liable aspect to perform and earn in an appropriable way can be called as victory. And I think it is about the attachment to earn quick profits, so they don't stop playing even it will lead them to failure.

Looks like you have never tried making money in gambling because from your comment, I can understand that you purely play/gamble for pleasure. That is not bad but is not a definition everyone would agree with. We got people around who would do anything to win at gambling and never call it a victory if they lose. How can someone who loose money be victorious?

Pretty sure that people will gamble to earn quick profit though some says that they do it just for fun. Greed might one of the reason why people can't stop gambling easily. They win now and yet they are not contented and looking for more/bigger winnings while promising that if they could pull this off they stop but they just broke that promise and the cycle continues until ending broke.

  Yes people gamble for earning money and it is only possible because if they will put all their effort on learning about gambling, winning is playing well with all your concentration and never consider anything above your approach as all gamblers are the same as you but you will have to win with tricks and confidence.

It depends on what your looking from gambling,if you are not satisfied without making from gambling then don't exoect everyone to be the same but I have to disagree that definition of winning on gambling is winning money from gambling,its just how long we are managed to gamble with fun andnot getting addicted to it.

Same with mine too. My definition for winning in gambling is being able to control your emotions when you gamble not to be addicted. Many people have win a big amount of money but still end up losing the following day and this happens because of their addiction in gambling.

Gamblers usually play particularly to make profits but this does not come to all gamblers.Many have take risks in gambling but still they end up lossers.I think the best definition about winning in gambling is not just about money making but also learning how to control your emotions without involving in all gambling activities.

I see myself winning in gambling if my capital has increased for a long-term when calculating my trading profits and lose account.  If I am losing in number but my capital is increasing I will see myself as a winner.

That was the happiest moment by the gambler if the saw that they had won by increasing their capital as starter money. For me the definition of winning in gambling when I saw that my capital has been doubled and increase from overall I was wagering. But I think that is not an easy indicator in a way of winning if we can talk about long term profit maybe we've won today but the loss was more than you've won.

Sometimes it is not possible to estimate because they won't bother about the money won through winning because it is impossible for anybody to control their emotion who are completely addictive to it. Even though they set goals it might damage if they are continuously losing them through the gambling.

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

Controlling emotions doesn't only imply or can be learn by means of gambling so I don't see of this reason to be valid.The best definition of winning in gambling is on how you do able to attain for the seek of enjoyment while playing it without minding the money being spent or loss.Winning is just a bonus but for most people winning money or profiting would always be the primary concern.

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.

lottery is gambling, so where are the differences?

the definition of winning in gambling is something that profits are obtained, but not all profits cannot be defined as winning, because when you have gained a lot of defeat then little profit is not included in the definition of winning

I strongly agree that strategy is indeed needed in gambling and on the other hand good luck is important but we cannot control or ask for luck when we gamble. If there is no strategy, of course you will experience defeat more often. And as you say that luck cannot come at any time. Therefore gambling needs a little strategy.

How can long term profit be the happiest moment for a gambler? well maybe some gamblers but definitely not my kind.  I understand that I can be cool to see after a long time of gambling that the capital we started with would have increased and looking back at all we have been through in the game, we get condolence from the overall profit but the truth is if a good estimate is made, as a gambler, you would also discover that during the process of playing, we still made some loses.

For me there is nothing like instant cashing out. LET ME SEE WHAT I MADE FROM MY GAME IMMEDIATELY THAT IS WINNING FOR ME. I consider myself a winner in gambling immediately after the end of the game.

Your idea on winning is quiet Unique mate. If your capital increases after a long time in gambling, that can absolutely be seen as win but if you say losing in number and as well seeing increase in your capital, How possible is that except as an investor in gambling. Consistent losses will not definitely have a great effect in your bankrolls and startup capital. But maybe you decide to go into gambling investment and also play as usual; you can be losing in playing, while your investment in gambling might be growing. That is also cool.

For me, winning in gambling is when I am able to successfully set limit to play a game and I do not supersede my limit to playing. 

For me it's winning a significant amount, something that is ten times greater than what I can afford to lose in one day. If I win such an amount or greater than that, I stop. It is around $10-$15 in USD equivalent.



Of course it can be a satisfied game even if I lose. That's why I can stop playing not only when I win a significant amount. I wouldn't stop ever otherwise, because I rarely win significant (for me) amounts. I enjoy gambling, especially poker games and dice, and after some time I stop regardless of whether I won or not, being satisfied with the game itself.

I think we all have different ways of defining victory in gambling. Those who eye at making money in gambling will purely focus on winning and this would be the definition of victory for him/her. I like this definition because such people driven by their passion often end up making big money. Another definition of victory in gambling could be something around the utility one derives from gambling and not the monetary benefits.

I agree with that, satisfaction is indeed fulfilling, specially if it involves time and money, I think nobody wants to put their money in something that doesn't give them entertainment and fun which I agree with what you have said, and I agree also with your perspective about Winning in gaming since winning is not always about how much profit that you can gain but how well you enjoy their games since variety of games do affect the intensity of fun that we can obtained in playing and having such amazing varieties of games really do affect me as a gamer in which I have found in Vegas Casino, their variety of games specially the roulette,  allows me to wonder and feel intensive excitement whenever I play it and an additional great deal of rewards was given also especially for those first time depositors.

That is why winning is not just about money, it is also about satisfying your desire, gaining experience and more things that could help you. Personally, I don't use gambling to earn profit but rather for entertainment because I admitting the fact that I don't have enough luck to win in such game but still I choose to play because it gives me fun. Besides, even if I don't win I still felt that I am a winner because of what I have received like a lot of bonuses and I am glad for Vegas for giving me such thing that exceeds beyond of my expectations.

Anyone saying that they are going to stop betting when they have won, they say that and forgetting that there are days you can login and wont even win a dime. So what would you do on days like that?? Are you going to stop when your has finished because you were fighting to get a win? It doesn't make any sense. People should have self control. It's not everytime you get a win, there are times you have five up., cause trying to get the win at most times is going to cause more loss. So when you're winning, just quit and try another day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

LOL, as sad it is to say...

"Not losing money" ;)

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.  ;)

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.

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"  ;)

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I know right?. At the end gambling are games, recreation, entertainment.

The unbalances come when people forget that they are the things mentioned before. Happens with gambling, happens with online and offline games, happens with everything labeled as entertainment.

It should be done for fun if you want to have a balanced life. If you passed through something really awful and are depressed, seek MMORPGs and find shelter and relief in them, i personally recommend WoW or FFXIV.

Going to gambling without measuring the resources you will spend everyday will lead to self-destruction in a really fast rate. The same thing could happen with the other option but controlling yourself will be easier with those two games.

Winning is being achieved when you're satisfied with the results of the game.

That's the true meaning of winning in gambling. There's no real winner in gambling especially when you're there because of entertainment only. We have different states and the reason why we're gambling so we can't define a winner by having a wins. Everybody can be a winner based on the situation and the satisfaction that's needed by the player.  :D

Of course you will know that you are already winning when you have a positive profit while gambling(even a child can say it).

You can't win in any form of gambling when you always do it for profit only a small percentage of people will tell you their stories about their losses that's why your mindset will be always on winning but the old real fact is that you can't win with gambling over time.

I think the definition of winning in gambling is not about time, how long you play if you are only for your own satisfaction it is something different even though you can afford to win after playing for a long time but usually most of them play for a long time will only spend money and time. So in my opinion those who are able to win big in a short time with the strategy that he uses, then that is a winning that not everyone can afford to get.

That's merely a strong conviction towards expecting gambling profit. If we want to win, we should have that determinations and I think that's the biggest factor to become successful in any ways. Probably most of the drowned gamblers tend to be addicted, but enjoyment and fun were all together be experienced once you have won the betting games you prefer to play. Losing is always a part of the journey in gambling, so you as a player must be responsible.

because the gambling goals of each player are different, therefore the meaning of a winning is different for them. for players who are looking for profit, of course smaller losses and bigger profits are absolute wins, but different for other players that looking for fun, like you said

Each of us has a different version of winning, some of us will be happy on a small win, some are big, some are aiming for the jackpot, etc. It is all the same when we want to win it just depends on our main goal and that's what the real definition of winning in gambling. Your goal might change everyday but as long as you know how to win then i'm sure you will be happy with the result no matter what happens since you met your goal already.

To walk away with more money than you started off with.
To set a gambling limit and walk away when you have reached that limit.
To not gamble more than you can afford to lose.

victory and defeat are common in gambling. but when you get a certain satisfaction when you lose and feel satisfied when you get an advantage from what you give in gambling, it is one that you always feel victorious about.

Not only common, it's normal, as no gambler will not experience both.

That if you have the skills to control yourself and be very consistent in winning.
Normally, only few people can do that, most of us are losers so what we should learn is to control ourselves to minimize our loses.

I guess "get a certain satisfaction" is a wrong wording for what you feel in case of losing gambling.  Yes, you had some emotional surge during play, but it rather more regret than satisfaction. 

And I guess different emotions are important for a mental health anyway, just don't have overloaded with it.

Maybe the word "satisfaction" will define winning in gambling because if someone satisfaction with what he did, then I think that will means that he is winning something and it's not just related to gambling, but it's related to the others. That means, he got something from what he did before and he can have those feeling while he can stop in anytime. But as the other members said, we have a different opinion about winning in gambling.

In my opinion, it is a very subjective approach to define how you define win in gambling. For me, it is making some good money in gambling and it is not always about the money but also about the thrill and joy I get when I gamble. At times, loosing does not matter as long as you enjoy the game like it had been the previous night the final of champions league.

A victory for any gambler is also when he manages to end the day having the same amount he started with.
Staying flat is ok for me too. Having a good time and not losing anything.
Still you have to count anything you spent like gas, food, beverages, casino entrance and tips. So a 20$ win might not be an actual win.

Most gamblers cannot manage what he started with, and many of them get losing money in the gambling games. And if that is what they got, then that is not the definition of winning in gambling because we are losing the money. But maybe winning in gambling is when we can control ourselves, not being greedy, we know when we need to stop.

Somehow there's gamblers who can be  satisfied with the results of their activities even losing money is at stake, but for  people who can't afford to lose
stress will be followed when mistakenly lose inside gambling house, it's important to understand such capabilities accept and not being to engage with
this activities.

We must accept that each of one of us has a different treatment in gambling and it differentiate us from profiteering and enjoying so what others want might not ours to like.

Lol the victory of every gambler will depend on what intentions he played,because satisfaction is from us and not from others to give us

I think there isn't much to philosophize about *winnings* in gambling. The true meaning of winning is literally to win. If you play accumulating losses on long run and have some winnings meanwhile it doesn't make you a winner, because on long run your total profit is negative.
The fact is that few gamblers will win, others will just accumulate losses. But it's not important to think much about it, what really matters is if you are having a good time gambling, if you are exciting yourself and feeling emotions that improve your mood.

I think both, the hardest thing to do is to stop when winning and not to continue anymore when losing, these two are hard to implement and takes control of yourself this is how I define winning in gambling.

Yes, I have that experience. I remember that when I played dice games, I can get more than 3 times of winning and that tempting me to continue the game. But fortunately, I only continue in one time, and then I close the site and do another thing so I can distract my mind to not think about the game.

Controlling ourselves is very important from gambling because if we lose control, then we might continue to play and we don't know if we can win again or even we will lose the money. That is very difficult to stop when winning because many people want to get another winning.
