If others are selected, does it indicate that these things do not affect the winnings at stake?

We are not talking about any loss or dependence on gambling here.
We are just explaining the meaning of gains, or more accurately, the meaning of gambling wins and that this is not a random occurrence, but rather an occurrence of some of the factors mentioned above.

I would say that:

(1) Luck - specially if you are playing a luck based game, then obviously, even if you play with just small capital you can win big if "lady luck" is on your side.

(2) Knowledge - this is my second on the list because if you have been playing this game for so long, you can have strategy in hand that can help your chances of winning

(3) Experience - Almost the same with knowledge, the longer you have been in this game, the better you can pick the winners specially in sports betting.

So for me, those that I mentioned can have an impact or could be a factor for anyone's success (or failure) in their gambling journey.

It all depends on what kind of game you're playing. Some are purely based on luck, others need a good brain (like poker).

For me in my own believer gambling is game of luck without luck is all nothing I stop playing, we know even the veterans gamblers is failed to get win without luck we the veterans gamblers are full of knowledge ideas skillls and strategy but without luck he/she got lose.

IMHO, if you are into games like poker and sports betting, the huge impact is with experience. These games as mentioned by TheNewAnon really requires a lot of thinking before proceeding your bets or folding or calling an all-in with poker.

But if you're playing slots or dice and any other luck-based games, it always goes with luck and discipline. Discipline in a way that you know how much you're betting and proceeding with your bankroll.

so for the OP, the major factor affecting the results of your game depends on what type of game you are in. if you want better chances of winning and you are a loyal fan of a particular sport, opt for sports betting. combination of knowledge and experience will give you an edge in this game.
luck is basically the common element in other gambling games except poker.
i guess you already know these things, just want to confirm from other users here.

For me, it always works in the following order

1. Luck - Every gambler needs the luck to gamble.
2. Monetary power - Without it, you cannot gamble.
3. Discipline - It helps me to know when to stop and when to start.

Depending on what game you are into but;

Luck would be the most important factor among on the list since this is the reason why we do able win in a game of chances specially if you do engage on a
luck based games.There were games that it do need Knowledge and experience for you to win then a sort of luck- we talk about strategic games like card games and sports.

It is the discipline that matters everytime because all of the mentioned won't take effect if we cannot discipline our self after winning.imagine if you have all of the above but you continue to.gamble?in the end you will lose still so better to known your limits and control your temptations and that can be done if you are discipline person

I believe in luck for most of the gambling industry. You can hardly found games that would solely consider some other factors like the brain(intelligence). In some other games you could add beliefs for some people and I was wondering if it is true but I think it falls to just pure coincidence maybe. In our place theres that local lottery and most of the common people get their tickets on a daily basis, it is popular to all and some old folks played it, and as i was saying they believe if they get a dream in their sleep with number they use that on their next bet believing it would come out and some of them really does wins.

In my game which needs consistency, I have to rely more on my skills and knowledge on the game, otherwise I would still loss in the long run even if sometimes there's luck in me.

It's not easy to learn right away, as a gambler, you need to be gambling more and more for you to figure out on what yo do in every situation, especially when you are in a winning situation, you have to understand that greed has no room for success in gambling, instead you have to be discipline all the time to play with your game plan accordingly.

I only believe in luck whatever the game of gambling you have played. Either it's skilled or lucky based games, luck still haa the highest impact of your winning. Playing with safest way on gambling just waste your time and you won't realized if you would lose in long run.

Yeah, luck is still up there as the top factors in my opinion.

Even in poker though, there are times that 99% you have a chance of winning, but you can still lost that one. Obviously though, you need capital to be able to gamble so that maybe in top as well.

And then experience and knowledge next so that you know when to exit and play another day.

That might cost a lot of time if you don't ever have any experience yet. Some of the game not just requires discipline but rather a working brains that know their limits on when to start and stop. And of course, a monetary power to continue to play despite of thinking you were just looking for an entertainment, it still obvious that you want to win too. So I would say experience, monetary power, and luck.

There's obviously games like roulette and dice where no skill's involved and it's purely luck-based whether or not you win, but with games such as poker where there's some level of skill and thus creative potential involved, skill's actually a pretty large factor of whether or not you win. Luck's still obviously involved and you're more likely to lose money in the short term thanks to variance, but this variance gets smaller and smaller as you work towards a higher timeframe.

Luck's still a major factor in my eyes nonetheless.

for me its the Knowledge that i gain from my long time engaging in gambling,from my younger years i have been playing any local games from cards,to coins and paper money and even other materials that can be used to make the gambling done,we even uses calculators and even Papers just to have a Lucky nine inside the classroom since cards are very prohibited.
until i learn to go in local gambling places,then in casinos and now online gambling.

but after all?what i earned is knowledge for not to turn your life miserable just because you become a gambling addict.

now i can proudly say of being disciplined gambler and can deny the call of betting whenever i wanted to.

All you've mentioned in your poll has an impact on how you win in gambling, but luck always plays a big factor in gambling, even if you have a small amount you can turn this to ten folds if you are the lucky guy of the day, no wonder 6 voters as of now agreed to my choice.

For that option, I think luck will give the highest impact, but all of the options will include inside the gambling. If we don't have one of those options, I think we cannot survive in gambling. But luck will be the most important thing that every gambler must have regard to winning the games. Without having luck, then that will be impossible to win so that that luck will be necessary for gambling.

After luck, it will need discipline and then monetary power. Discipline will also be needed in gambling because without discipline, and we will use more and more money to play. And that will impact the monetary power we use.

Luck luck luck luckkkkkk. It's called a gamble for a reason naturally. It's almost pretty impossible to talk to skill when winning after all. Plus, even if calculations are involved, there would still be times where no matter what, a loss would still occur a 100%. Just like choosing a queen out of a deck of cards, with pure luck, it almost seems impossile, but its STILL possible.

Luck applies to all gambling games, partially in sports betting and card games which require skills, experience, and knowledge. Monetary and discipline also applies to all games, but you can apply monetary the most in games such as poker where you can make a bluff or intimidate your opponent by placing a huge bet. But all in all, luck drives the games even an underdog wins due to luck, and sometimes luck beats experience, knowledge and skills in gambling.

I take the positive side of gambling. through decision making where we have to be brave. but we are wrong in making decisions for gambling. sometimes often do not think long to take the decision but there is also a positive side that courage must be taken. we shouldn't delay the opportunity too much.

I choose Lucky, even if you don't have all the others in your poll but if you lucky, you can still win in gambling, gambling is not a sports where you can calculate everything, you can have a method or a discipline but if you do not have luck for that day you are not going to win, that is why we have people calling us lucky if we will in gambling.

Luck, knowledge and experience.

Luck - because I think, luck is one of the reason why we win in a gambling game even we also have the knowledge to play that game, luck is always there.

Knowledge - we earned also some knowledge especially if we are playing that game for a long time. We are also learning some strategies and techniques and at the same time, learning from others experience.

Experience - one of the best we can earn when playing gambling because, with this, we can learn so much.

So these three are the impact when we are winning or playing gambling/any type of gambling games.

Yes, winning and profit in gambling, not in a randomized system, winning is caused by several factors.
factor:
1. Know and understand the gamble that you play.
2. Place bets casually not with emotion.
3. Thorough, in playing keep your opponent's account in mind, do not underestimate the opponent, consider the opponent more advanced than us.
4. Of course there are many other factors.

you should include an " all of the above " option from your poll because that will be my choice and that will be the choice of other gamblers because those you listed on your poll are all needed in order to succesfully earn an income on gambling  . if you lack atleast one , i dont think that you can earn succesfully  . like for example you have experience , knowledge   , etc but you dont have a luck ? do you think you will win on a 100 percent luck game such as slots  ?

Lucky dude beats smart, wise, knowledgeable, discipline dude all day long, especially in gambling ;D

The question is, how to increase luck in a pure game of chance? Do you guys think with more experience, skill, etc., you'll get luckier?

Among the list above, I don't see that Monetary power have an influence or impact to gambling. Gambling is more about luck, though you have knowledge, skills and experience but not a guarantee of having 100% or even just 90% winning trick cause it is all about luck driving us to win.
It sometimes we say depend of what game we are playing but still we need luck.
Well, it be lucky if we have it all day cause it seems to be impossible.

Luck with discipline will allow you to maximize your potential profits. With good mindsets the luck that shows around will not be wasted.
Gamblers forget about discipline which really impacted to the nature of their game, every opportunities being missed since instead of
quitting most are continuing thinking that they will keep the luck. Discipline yourself and you'll be getting more wiser around this activities.

it's obvious that luck would have the most impact unless you are playing a skill-based game like poker, mahjong, tong-its  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong-its)(just in case you're not familiar with tong-its) etc..
then the gambler will have to rely more on his experience and knowledge more than luck. although luck is still needed in skill-based gambling game player will not reliant on luck
unlike in dice games, slot, Plinko etc.. Discipline is a principle and will always have an impact no matter what type of gambling game you play.

When I play for fun and entertainment this helps me to learn much more than just running after money in gambling . It also gives me peace and I enjoy the time spent and also money even I lose but it goes in my entertainment expense and not as a frustration .

Its more on luck regardless if the game require skills and strategy because we cant really say if we're going to win or not despite of our knowledge to the particular game.

Luck is on top then skills, strategy and experience are the other factors to be able to win.

Luck decides whether you will win or lose while gambling,its just random occurrence so you cannot increase your wins by increase your skills or discipline or any other thins which is the reason why gambling owners are in profits.

Yes I also agree but we should also consider the discipline because without it a gambler could also lose all of their money.
So for me those 4 should have a huge impact on your gambling there are times when a gambler already won a lot of money but doesn't have a discipline so that gambler would end up with nothing.

I think that you can have all the experience and knowledge of the world regarding gambling,mostly in gambling where skills are involved like poker and sport betting and still lose a lot of money if luck is not by your side.Luck is the only factor that determine if you will be a successful gambler or not.

Well they are playing a part of a successful gambling. Even though you are disciplined alone that doesn't mean you'll be having a good gambling run, well, even though you are lucky alone or either have a long time experiences. They are all connected to each other one that will make you a neither good nor best gambler but it will definitely will bring you a sufficient fortune. On top of that, which I voted, is the disciplined in every way but I ain't taking that alone.

Being Lucky , having the Discipline, Knowledge and Experience is a good combination needed to win in gambling.
This is a game that we need to be clever with our decision making since majority of the gamblers are losers and we are exceptional if we ever have the success in gambling. Some people are saying that you can make "easy money" in gambling, but in reality its actually the opposite, there is no such thing as easy money since its hard to win in gambling consistently.

Poker requires skills but it does not guaranty a win it still requires luck, I picked Luck and the majority of those who participate in this poll also picked it, the house edge will always beat you even if you have a method or strategy set up, honestly I have a good chance of winning when I randomly pic my bet or my roll and let luck decide my fate.

Luck is certain, experience because often loses and wins, then can make a disciplined attitude and use knowledge to get back all the time and money taken and hope to recover lost and make more profit.
the impact of gambling, from profit to regret and must be able to return to profit after everything experienced.

All in a gambling game is luck because it cannot be said that it will win when playing gambling, but the thought is what makes the luck, as long as playing is also not allowed but the important thing is we have to know how to play for luck in gambling betting.

Because even experienced gamblers who played with skill based gamblers experience shit things. Without luck the chance is next to nothing even your done with good looks with your strategy over and over unexpected loss can trigger your bets and lose your money.

Gamblers are hoping that each time they've play luck will be there to back them up to win.

Prayer must be the key on this one because even if you have a lot of experience but if you are not lucky, then you will still lose. The impact of gambling to me is very positive simply because I can play without worrying about my finances and I know how to limit myself I can say that I'm lucky because of this. Discipline is also important because the impact of gambling to some people is very negative, gambling makes them addict and ruin their life, I hope we can escape from this trap.

Impact in gambling after winning on my thought will be
 
Monetary power - because winning from gambling will get money then i think i slightly have power to increasing my wealth
Experience - because during gambling winning results will have an experience that is always be remembered and it can makes people more confident to start new games

So regarding the vote i think i will pick for these options

It's pure luck - but if somehow you find yourself on the upstreak you need to know to take off the table and vice versa if there's losses, cut them.

If it's pure luck then strategy doesn't work right? So those games which needs startegy also depends on luck. I don't think that gambling only works with luck, it should have discipline and monetary control.

Tough to generalize op. Basically, there are 2 types:

1. Casino gambling(Dice, Roulette etc) : Luck is the major factor while strategies like Martingale etc work in the short-term.

2. Sports betting : Luck is still the major factor, but strategies(Fixed stakes etc) and experience help to a greater degree here.

It is possible to take luck completely out of the equation though using methods like Card counting, arbitrage betting etc.

its always LUCK thats the impact for me as what i believe in gambling even how skilled you are and experienced but Luck don't go with you.
and i can vouch with this,for how many times that i am pretty sure that i will win in local gambling as i am betting in a Cockfighting .the opponent is almost dead but in my surprise it gives a last blow and hit our rooster in neck cutting the head and instantly died ,this happen not only once but in some occasions also,thats why i from then believe that its all luck that will make you win in gambling.

And for those strategies to work you need discipline. Discipline is the most important thing you need in gambling, if you have luck and strategies but you can't control yourself for betting a high amount of money or when to stop gambling, then you will just lose your money if one thing goes wrong. Greed is the number one enemy of a gambler, so we need discipline to beat the greed on our self.


Luck is still a factor in card counting, if you don't have luck you may be noticed by the dealer hahaha, and card counting only works on real word casino. Blackjack in online casino's have various way to counter card counting.

Stastically you are bound to lose in gambling on the long term because of that house edge. The only thing that can help you win on the short term is obviously the lucky factor aka the variance. You can have 4 wins in a row when playing with a 50% chance to win dice game, but you will eventually still have more losses than wins over a big number of iterations.

Of course that if you play with a big bankroll and your stakes are small compared to it and apply a martingale or other forms of averaging your bets to "cover your losses" then you'll have some winning very short term periods, BUT when you lose you lose your whole account.

I think the most important in gambling is discipline, once you have the discipline, you can effectively follow your game plan and of course you will win.
Knowledge and experience is a must for gamblers to have a better chance of winning consistently but we can't deny that sometimes we lose control and it happened due to lack of discipline.

Both times, whether we lose or win, we need discipline since there is no room for gamblers who are weak emotionally to succeed in gambling.

yes i agree it all depends on what game's you are playing because there are some that need brain in order to win. And that's for card games which need a certain strategies and etc to minimize losses it's not based on luck in my opinion ,because it requires more knowledge unlike other gambling games wherein base on luck and efforts is a must only.

absolutely right.. it all depends on what you play, on dice or crash game, Lucky and Discipline is very important..  but in Poker and Sportsbet it's usually very important knowledge and experience.

Experience they say is the best teacher hence i would prioritize that over the other factors in terms of its impact on gambling. Once you have the experience then it means you have advanced past just having mere knowledge about the gambling activity. Anybody can be lucky but you need to be able to play your cards well when an opportunity pops up your way otherwise you would waste that luck.

mostly luck,no matter how u Discipline,no matter how high your experience on gambling , no matter about your Monetary power . the keys is totally luck.
even on 50 : 50 chance , its doesn't mean if u bet 3 times , u can win 2 times from it. if u doens't have a luck.

Luck doesn't work in all games. There are games where you don't need any skills because the outcome is generated by the system. But in games like poker, sports betting, you will need to analyse well before you make a move.

No matter what game you play in the casino, only LUCK revolves around everything. Although experience and knowledge may give you an upper-edge compared to players who are relatively new on the game, if luck decides to screw you over, then there is nothing that you can do.

The problem with gambling also stems from the greed of people especially when they are on a winning-streak. Regardless of the result though, most people would just gamble and try their luck once again to continue the streak. But if they experienced a loss, they will try to recover their losses and ONCE again gamble. This creates an endless illusion and cycle wherein a player gets stuck and gambles until their resources are gone.

Luck will be the highest impact on gambling because, without luck, we are difficult to win. We see that people who don't have skills, unknowledgeable, can win in gambling, and that is because of luck. But we cannot close our eyes that the other things will be in gambling. That thing, like discipline, knowledge, monetary power, and experience, will also be needed in gambling. All of the things that OP mention is related to each other and without having all of that thing, we cannot control ourselves, and even we can not win.

for me the first is

Discipline: because without this for sure there is no future ahead of us since the effect will be severe to the extent that we will lose everything and sometimes even our love ones keep distance from us

the second is

Lucky: this one is important part of gambling,without this winning will never come your way and the worst is continuously losing is what you will get

the third is

knowledge:the most important towards maturity because the longer we play the more learning we have got and without this nothing is for you in future.

In my own personal opinion, during winning in gambling the only impact that you will get is luck because knowledge, skills, discipline, monetary power, experience and others are the things that will also help you to win in gambling, but having luck is the most important thing that you should need in gambling because even you have the 5 things that i have mentioned you would probably lose without having luck. That is why there are gamblers who has their own beliefs or superstitions for them to have good luck while playing gambling like wearing their luck shirt or accessories.

gambling is entirely about luck, but in my opinion, there are some small factors that help you get lucky in gambling, like knowledge for games like sports betting, then discipline, because luck sometimes doesn't come for a long time, so don't play too long and greedy.

For me,,, experience.

The thing with us is, most of us know how things work in luck and probability, but especially when it comes to crypto gambling, I only understood properly about provably fair and counting house edge after a bit of time. Things like this you do not learn at live casinos!

And then,,, even with understanding, you only know your emotions and how you react to wins and losses after gambling for years. Hopefully this helps you manage your personal style after gaining that experience!

experience is mine,since we wont progress if we dont have experiences specially in sportsbetting so basically this is what we need to grow in gambling world

and experience as well,because all you've mentioned wont come reality if you are always a newbie so thats why experience s more important than everyhthing

Among the five choices, I would say it's the discipline that gives a bigger impact on gambling. Yes luck is a part but I don't think it has a bigger impact since you don't just depend your bets and winnings on luck. Knowledge is needed but sometimes knowledge is not enough to win on gambling. Monetary power? Does it mean the capital? Experience is also there to avoid repeating the same mistake but your Discipline will control and manage you throughout the whole game. If you have the discipline, you know how to balance things, knowledge, experience, money, and even your luck.

I will split my choices, for me, that is luck and experience. Throughout the experience, you can able to enhance your skills in those kinds of based skill gambling and the second one is about luck. Both of them for me is having a good impact on gambling probably will give you possible profit gain. Nevertheless, you are lucky enough if you have all of these and gamblers wanted to have about these when they are in gambling.

The point of this is I only see the impact of gambling itself, regardless of the outcome, whether it is winning or losing because basically gambling is very related to luck, but the impact that might be increased during our gambling or when betting is about experience. So in the case of gambling experience will be the main factor regardless of luck or not, but when we have enough experience, then at least we can gamble with confidence.

When we are playing cards like poker, luck is not involve, you might call it luck if you don't know about the pattern of cards and the algorithm of it, that is how professional poker players win, by pure analyzation using math and other complicated additional spice to it.

Cockfighting game is somehow fun and can be enjoyed locally at a village fiestas and other special occasions, but we need to see one winner so either of the two rooster must be dead to have a winner. That's right we don't need skills of that, because all you have to do is to train the cock that you're breeding and then preparation for the cock fighting is ready.
This local gambling game has only two probable choices of winning, and most breeders will have to predict a hype judgement on the opponent in order to gather followers to bet for their fighter cock, so the game commences within few minutes then there it goes a lucky winner.

Personally I focused mainly on discipline as my first priority when gambling I have to inculcate discipline while placing my bet secondly because my betting is based on soccer bettings thus I have knowledge in majority of the team I am placing my bet on I can identity the stronger and the weaker team thus giving me an ample opportunity to have an edge over my bookies, thirdly which is luck this is absolutely crucial to any gambler in any bet placed I always hope for a good luck. 

And that's a big "IF" but not all would really be dealing with skill based games but rather on pure luck ones.It doesn't really require experience though
but some sort where it is really needed where you should know on when to exit when you are losing much.This do pertains with discipline and experience
and if you don't have these kind of traits where you do gamble then for sure you would mess up along the way that's why its important to considerate these traits.

Le'ts quote what's on the poll: "Lucky , Discipline , Knowledge , Monetary power , Experience"

a) House-edge gambling games e.g dice, slots, roulettes are based purely on luck therefore a gambler needs:
  - Discipline - to know when to stop
  - Knowledge - to not just hit that GO button
  - Experience - to somehow be aware of the system

Since it's pure luck, it doesn't affect the winnings literally but everyone can manage to gain profit in the long run by properly managing their bankroll.

b) Strategy-based gambling games e.g poker or any card game, skill games, etc. is based purely on skills and ability to execute the strategy, therefore, a gambler needs:
  - Discipline - to know when to stop
  - Knowledge - to obviously know the game mechanics
  - Experience - ability to turn a bad situation into a good one

By following some of these basic traits, it will affect the gambler's winning at stake. Even with a bad set of cards, chances of winnings is always possible.

c) Sports betting is based on both strategy and luck*. Gambler needs:
  - Discipline - to know when to stop
  - Knowledge - to know the ability of a certain team to cope up with the given odds or if they can cover all the spreads provided to them
  - Experience - to make profits out of playing with the odds

Yes, this needs luck but with gambler's knowledge about the game and ability to play with any given odds, it can surely affect their winnings at stake.

Pretty obvious what the answer is... Experience.

Luck doesn't exist, it's just a human construct we use to describe somebody defying mathmatical odds, e.g. a description of how much an outlier someone is.

In games of pure chance, experience matters practically nil, but in games of skill, experience is a huge advantage.

No need to specifically say that luck doesn't exist.

You are taking the word of luck literally. Of course, those bets are produced by a certain algorithm but not all the time, the results are being favored to the gambler that's why you need luck for that mathematical odds to hit our numbers since it can't be controlled by anyone.

Experience does matter in a game that relies purely on chances but you don't want to just wait for that mathematical computation to hit the right hash without expecting a bit of luck. :)

When a program or algorithm is set to be random especially when there's a machine learning, probably there's a luck. As long as probability exist in each things, we can say that luck also exist.

The fact that you can't compute and predict an algorithm 100%, and at some point you've predicted it correctly, then there's a luck. You can't just rely on experiences 'cause not all of the experienced people win the game of life.

But I think that still because of luck because we have a chance to get a better card than the other players. What can we do if we don't have a good card? We can lose the money while the other player will get the money. So luck will be the number one in gambling, but besides luck, there are skills, money management, time management, discipline, and experience inside gambling. Even if we could only win for little money, that still luck that will take part to help us to win. That is what I think so far, although I don't know much about the poker games.

For me it woud be discipline . Because if you have that you can minimize losses and you are able to prevent any risky situation . Honestly gambling is the most difficult game and i don't believe  being lucky can impact in it. Because even we say for example, you have all of the options above except the discipline , ,there's still no way you can succeed ! Because being have a discipline in gambing ,you can control everything, less worries and you are always feel safe while playing.  

All of them are important when you are gambling but it will be useless if you don't have luck on your side.

Some are saying that experience has a huge impact in gambling and there is nothing wrong with it but for me, even you are gambling already for a long time already (lets say 3-4 years) if you are not lucky then you will not win. There are some games who needs more brain than luck (like poker) but being lucky when you are gambling has a huge impact on you.

Discipline is important, yeah, but we should not forget that knowledge is also important when we are gambling. The level of knowledge is what we call experience and we need this three in gambling. Discipline, Knowledge and Experience plays a great role in gambling like Poker games, or sports bet.

Discipline is the important thing that needs to their else you would lose out a lot of money just in anticipation that one of the bets you could win big which may happen later or might not even happen. Also with experience people will learn that just making money from it is not ideal .

Depending on your experience, if your experience is bad like you are not making money in gambling, of course you will not going to seek for long term success since you understand you will only lose more in gambling. Experience only makes you wise, maybe instead of risking more money and getting aggressive in gambling, you will just treat it for fun and just spend a little amount for entertainment purposes only.

We cannot avoid that we sometimes are getting greedy, but with experience, we will be able to control our emotion as we've experience that many times.

in my opinion, the experience is not very important, even people who are new in gambling they can get a victory. what do you expect from the experience of playing gambling? whereas gambling is about luck. so I think experience only helps a little, what to do when playing gambling.

As expected, luck comes first but like I have always said, there are different gambling games. Some are purely luck-based, some skill-based, some experience, and so on. And since sports betting is also gambling, knowledge, critical analysis, as well as careful monitoring of news and developments will also be playing a big role here. But I guess gambling is already closely associated so much with luck-based games that is why it is generally considered luck-based.

Experience is a good teacher for anything we do in this world including in gambling but it is not always related to victory or winning.
It is true that gambling is about luck but you forget that there are some games requires experience and knowledge in order to push your luck such as sports betting and poker. In these two games, experience is really needed or will you rely on pure luck while playing poker game and sports betting?
Experience is also related to how you manage your gambling activity, so you wont make the same mistake repeatedly.

I suppose you *can* have a short term working strategy but over time variance nips you and you suffer loss streaks. Discipline can help limit losses but it won't make gambling 'work'. Only luck can do that in the long run.

When playing strategy games it's important to have those things but it will still remains that luck will make everything to workout. gambling
needs to have the compositions that extent your chance to win each time you play inside the house. It's very important to stick with how you
created the plan and don't allow yourself to exceed to your limits it will increase your chance to win.

I used to play Sportsbook and my winnings might be based on 70% Luck 30% Knowledge. In choosing bets, I previously looked at their match history and analyzed and then executed what market had the highest chance of winning.

I went for been experienced from the listed voting pull cause I believe it matters most.
Though, looking at the statistic from the poll, many people actually believe that lucky is more important.
I feel that good winning impact is determined by a mixture of experiences and luck. It is because to be lucky, one should as least know how to play the game (experience) before luck comes in.

Whether it is sports betting or something else, the winning depends majority on luck. We can gather more information relative to the game and the players of that team, but the game gets changed in no time with unpredicted results getting success. An example for the same is the recent T20 between India and Bangladesh. None could've thought Bangladesh will win the game, but it happened.

i think knowledge and discipline is bind together in this area ,look if you are a disciplined person that means you are knowledgeable right?because people that has these both is surely has the more chances of winning.
and besides this is the attitude gamblers must have if they wanna have advantage in gambling.
well sportsbetting is somewhat can be analyze and can easily find who will win(in a certain occasion and not all the time lol)because if we are a true fanatic of specific sport,then we have idea what will be the outcome of each game

Well you're right there are gambling games that needs more knowledge and not relying 100% on luck just like on sportsbet. Having an idea on each team's past game is necessary to be able to predict who will win. Luck + knowledge + strategy.

Being in sports betting is different from the other form of gambling. I have to understand that it never needs luck because we possibly know what would be the end of this game unlike we do in dice, poker and some other card games which are purely base luck games.

But I agree with you that, these( Luck + knowledge + strategy) things are very important in every time we visit casinos, having in online games and other forms of gambling. But we can also justify that above all, it is all about the decision we made and that would lead us either to win or lose.

all gambling games require luck, even though Sportsbet looks easy to analyze, but the final result still relies on luck. like I did in the last few months, when I bet on a big team and they played at home, the result was unexpected, even though in analysis they would win easily. I like games that use strategies like poker.

It will really vary on what games we are playing into which there are games which requires skills which isnt really necessary on other
games as well.Luck is the biggest factor among all because even if on how good you are on making decisions but if luck isnt on your
side then it will turn out events on an instant to the opposite way which would cause a loss for you.Decision making into different
scenario is needed and also you should be aware and sensible enough into your actions.

I feel that lucky, knowledge and experience is the factor for a gambler to gain money through gambling. At a glance gambling is pure about lucky moreover if you ask to someone who didn't know about or at least he never plays gambling before.

But when you have played it and know the ins and out about the gambling place then I believe you can make it become a startegy. You can use it as an ability to control your emotion and yeah the experience will be useful at this case. Just my opinion, if you can manage these thing and even you can overcome them, at least you will be spared to lost a lot of money and you can have many opportunities to gain more profit.

I dont bet too often, it is because i am not lucky with it. I often lose and make me run out of money so I tend to think about wins that I havent gotten. I think it is not good for me to continue, at least I chose experience as one of the things I got when gambling.

Discipline is just really good for controlling losses but over all luck would be the main factor on here no matter what kind of game you are into.

Experience,monetary power, knowledge would be just the next in line.If you do know how to control these aspects then its good but not literally a thing that can affect luck factor.

I would say only Luck is the most crucial.
if you have luck then you have monetary power - as you are going to win more and more and accumulate money from that.
And if you have luck, you just win so there is not any need for discipline that would make you stop and when you start. You just keep gambling.

Well, that is right. The luck factor is the most important even if what is a form of gambling it is, the highest percentage is based on luck not by the skills. And probably the next one for me experiences, just like betting and poker games they are not pure luck and you can apply your skills via analyzing fundamental or technical.

Base on what you've said you really are lack of experience because you're not betting most of the time. And you need to have it more so that you can create strategies out of those losses that you will have.

Your choice would also matter. The choice of games that you're going to play and bet will have difference from each other, the impact will be seen for those games that you will be playing. And after that, you can figure out and tell what's the one that has the most impact base on how you gamble and what game you bet.

In my gambling experiences, winning is always a random occurrence which means my knowledge on gambling nor being disciplined nor my past experience with same type gambling and nothing do help me. It means I win randomly which makes me assume only luck factor is the reason for my winning which is not possible even with my monetary power of guessing next. Gambling is simply a random thing still winning is occurring to me very rarely for unknown reasons.

Yes, this is the reason some gamblers are successful in sportsbetting whereas some share their big wins on dicing. We need to watch and analysis our strength over gambling so that we may stick with most suitable/profitable gambling type. But, most gamblers are failing their reasoning part and losing their hard earned money as a final result.

I beg to disagree, you can earn experience but you can't earn luck, maybe to make it more realistic an achievable, its wise to say that we need experience and knowledge in order to win in sports betting, let the luck come but don't expect it since you cannot control luck.

No way that you can predict when your luck will happen to you. It's safe to say that experienced and skills can be learned and be enhance
but luck it will only fate can bring that to you. Gambling is for those who understand that risk is greater than the chance to win though if you
are patience enough to wait and you are willing to take your time till that luck happened to you.

Gambling wins only binds with luck of person,we may try to understand what will be the result of a game if it is a sport but we can't assure this will be the result so knowledge and experience may not hold the position to won bets,so it is supposed to be luck or fate or anything we call it as.

Obviously Luck comes in first because in theory luck really plays a big factor, experience, comes second after years of playing you will develop a dejavu like sense where you feel that you are already in this position several times and you can make the best decision out of that position,
but even if you are that experienced and having gone hundreds of bets, you will still cross your fingers and hope luck smile in you.

In playing gambling most of the time, you are risking all your money. There is a lot of reason why a person wants to gamble, and sometimes in gaming, there is a lot of people uses their experience to win in every game by this experience they always learn and gain more knowledge, every time they fail they are a lesson. They used this as a technique to win every game. Other people too are born to be lucky because most of the game they always win and it is the start losing their self-discipline some of them they become imbalances emotionally and become accessible to anger.

Your knowledge and experience may help you to win in few types of gambling but everything in this world mostly based on our luck factor, no one could argue against this. In luck-based gambling also we can use our knowledge and experience to delay the losses and when your luck is also on your side then you may enter into profits zone along with your knowledge and experience even in luck days gambling.

Luck is having direct impact on our gambling and other factors like experience and knowledge or any international powers are having secondary level of impact. I mean to say all the mentioned things are having impact on our gambling activities but level of impact differs on each.

Gambling need a smart,  discipline and most of all lucky this are the three that we need in gambling. Many people are gaining and winning in gambling because of the three i mention once you gamble and you have that i sure you that you gonna be gain and win. This is the most important you gonna be take if you enter in a gambling world.

I think luck is only 1x or 2x in gambling but our factors that control by playing the right strategy, experience in controlling it also must be considered when playing gambling, gambling can be said if the city is adept when playing then there we will get control of your luck.

Well, basically yes being lucky is one of the best factor or a gambler can possess but of course being well experienced and being a good strategists and player will put a gambler into winnings but I also want to add that discipline is also must be considered because without discipline a player can be too greedy and end up losing too much money so in order, to sum up a significant earnings in playing gambling then choose when to stop and to continue.

Actually, everything affects the win, and if experience and luck could be combined, then I would have made just such a choice.  But in my opinion, luck is most of all in gambling.  Without a certain level of luck, experienced professionals would not be with those who they are.  Of course, for example, when playing cards, you need to have a very good memory and be very friendly with mathematicians, but there are different situations when nothing happens without luck.

I'm coming back to this to argue that monetary power could be the key. If you risk say <0.1% per session and you have $100,000 in balance, you can still make or lose $100/$200 per session. If variance gets you on the upswing then your large balance serves you the best impact for winnings (as per the poll).

Mostly which affect in gambling is lucky. I think gambling is game when you are rely on your skills, and luck. Although have much money, if you not luck with a little percent win,you still can lose if not luck. For me, anything that you do in gambling, if not luck you can't win easily.

This is all about how we gamble our chances of winning and losing. Knowing the fact that not all our chances of winning are high nor our luck is always on our side (cause it can be on the other side). Decision making is very important in gambling and what it helps to come up an effective decision making if we know much of that certain thing. We can't just win in gambling because of luck but what it helps to raise our chances is because we have these things...knowledge and strategy.

It all comes down to your luck. I mean you can still rely on your skill, on your experience but it will all come down in your luck at the end of the day. That is why even if you don't have a skill or any experience, you can still win. That is why we have the term "Beginner's luck", despite you being a gambling beginner, you can still grab a lot of profits.

maybe its better to say that combinations of those is more positive?i mean you may use your skills and experience but you will also need LUCk as thats the main thing how gamblers succeed?

in some games there is a need for more experiences and in others need more skills as well,but remember that even how good you are from those still its the Luck that will give us chance to win more and plenty

we gamblers knows about that and no doubt that it is what we needs all to combine for more productive outcome.

But our chances of winning are very thin.
What it makes experts are an advantage in gambling versus beginner is because they have more experience, they are knowledgeable enough and have their own strategy which beginners don't have. Luck really matters but can't just into that all the time. It maybe we have luck today but not a guarantee that it keeps all over the day. That why it is most important to have knowledge and skills as well in order to uplift our chances of winning than of losing.

Luck influence it all even you are not familiar with games but if luck permits you to win then you'll get your share of profits.


Not even you have the knowledge and skills but if luck is not permitting you to win then nothing will happen to your game.
Luck will still the very factor when playing and gambling.

In playing gambling, you must need to have excellent skills and experience because most of the time, this is the primary talent to play and to win every game you play, and by these, you can now test your luck if you can win all those games. Every time you play, you also gain more knowledge about how to defeat the game and also your opponents. By these, you can now handle your emotions sometimes. If you win, there is an overwhelming and being greed to because you are too confident in playing, in losing you must control your emotional state to avoid wrong decision in playing.


All of us are have luck in our selves. Still, most of the time is our lucky day, There is a lot of people that are good at playing in gamble, and most of them have a lot of experience. Even the veterans that are more experience got to be lost because the lucky day is not their time, and their expertise and skills are not enough to play with another player that is good too in playing the particular game.

In gambling, no other factors are as important as the luck factor. All other factors are small and they hardly impact. They are like countries with no power. And luck is a super power which can agree with them or veto them anytime it wants ;)

First of all, I do not think there is anything like an experienced professional in the world of gambling because gambling is not a profession and neither it can be learnt by practicing so experience is basically useless. You already know that most of the games gamblers play depend on luck. Poker and sports bets are where a gambler can use his knowledge and experience. Otherwise, they are at mercy of fate.

Like others said it depends on the game.

You play slots - pure luck
You play dice like a normal person - luck
you play dice using martingale -luck and money
you play poker skill, luck, experience in this order.

Gambling is pure luck, no matter what game it is if your luck isn't favorable to you, then all of the given options or impacts that affects your winnings in gambling are useless. On the other hand, other aspects such as experience, discipline and skill are the secondary cause since it determines a gambler or a player how he'll handle his money.

Pure luck indeed! But if we talk about poker and sportsbetting, skill/experience/knowledge play the major role in achieving success in these games. But all the others are really on the side of luck. Gamblers will use superstitious beliefs, voodoo something, but let's admit it, if we are not lucky on that day, we will not win no matter what. So if you are into gambling, choose the games that you know you are good at it, maybe sportsbetting will be favourable to you and you have better chance of winning if you are a fan of that specific sports.

There are only few who really think they have the skills to win in sports betting, majority of the gamblers relies on luck alone that's why they don't have the success in terms of profitability, however, I believe this is just right for most of the gamblers to consider what they are doing as a fun activity as that will make them less risky on what they are doing, we know we can always loss everything in gambling but if we are in control and we are enjoying, we won't loss beyond our limit.

Luck is definitely the biggest factor that drives if you will win or not and other factor I think is discpline because at times you will win but greed that will motivate you to play more and in the end you would lose the money where the control comes in power.

Yeah, playing in online casinos and playing slots is really only based on luck. All the games have a fixed return rate and in the long run they will always make a fixed amount of profit and give a fixed amount of winnings for the players. No skill there.

Sports, horse racing and poker are different as there is a possibility of a distortion in probabilities. For example football betting, a bookmaker thinks a team has 50% probability of winning but you are saying different, odds and the price is different and if you are constantly right with your probability estimates, you will make money.

Gambling should really be treated as an entertainment not a source of income yet as shown on the poll.
"Luck" would always be the greatest factor when it comes to gamble not only on few games but all of them.
Main thing here is that we shouldnt push out to the limits and compromising important things due to your
gambling habit or addiction.

Most aspect of gambling has actually been based on luck, except some few games that requires skill like poker, that is the only one that I really have respect for because you can be a master of it and your winning depend on your strength and your skills, but for others like casino, card game and the rest, I think it is based on luck and even sport betting.

One have to be very careful of this so that it will not have any negative effect on our financial life, any gambling game that is purely based on game of luck should really be disregarded and if we are to go for any game of gambling, it should be the ones that can also educate us as we play it and not the ones that looks like that of a drunkard or the ones they play by the road side.

The luck-based games like dice are "probably" based on luck. Though I think physical dice could be predictable if you factor in the surface area of each side of the cube and the sounds they produce. Each sides have different dots, and I bet the sides produce different sounds, though faint for human hearing. If you could detect the difference in sounds and train yourself to detect it alittle bit easily, you could make some good predictions, even in real physical casinos.
There are lots of other unknown factors that could make even luck-based games fairly predictable.

I get it that you're just a newbie, but it looks like you intentionally repeated this post and promoting this site or app, which is prohibited in this forum.

E D I T: Mods will delete this, I can see that coming

Absolutely, it won't be name as luck based game if it isn't.


You might be so good to win by jut sensing it through your hearing, that's kind of talent that will make you rich if you ever succeed on what you are doing.

However, I don't think anyone have done that already.
