I think people don't understand that there is no strategy in gambling. Gamble but consider your spendings on it as an entertainment expense. Got luck on your side and won? Good. If you don't you still had fun.

 

The strategy is only used for those who can control themselves in gambling no matter what strategy is used or found because the house will always win, that's why I always bet just for fun meaning the meaning of fun not targeting a certain win , gamble to relieve boredom on weekends when winning means it's my lucky day or the bookie gives me my winnings but if i don't win it means it's not my lucky day, after all i only spend $5 to $15 for a month so no problem

If you mean strategies such as martingale and its variants, certainly not. No strategy is going to beat the House Edge. The problem with this is that some people put too much hope in gambling as a good way to make money, when it is a sure way to lose money in the long run.

Gambling should be seen as entertainment, as you say, where you can occasionally walk away with extra money, but the money you use in a given session should be seen as money spent, like going to the cinema or going out for dinner. If you want to make money you'd better buy bitcoin or make an investment, but people are not patient enough and expect to win a jackpot at roulette or similar.

yes indeed in gambling there is no strategy whereas gambling is just a place to have fun not a place expecting profit.
but i have one question in the sports betting section. Is arbitrage betting a strategy in gambling? or just a method to win?
yes, I fully understand that there really is no way to beat the house and that arbitrage betting is so frowned upon by bookies that led to banning of gamblers, but I consider arbitrage betting as one of the strategies in gambling that has a definite outcome. although it has to use a long time and strict precision.

Arbitrage betting isn't really a gambling strategy, it's merely taking advantage of betting odds. You're not guaranteed to find the opportunity for arbitrage betting and the gambling aspect is taken out of the equation because you're returns are guaranteed when you place the bets.

Gambling inquires inherent risk and there is no risk if you know the precise return.

Traditional casino games have a built in house edge so you know the return over time. The immediate return remains unknown.

You are right that people should gamble and only see it as fun and entertainment, but there are strategies used in gambling. If you are a gambler, you use only small amount of money to gamble, or an amount of money like less than 5% of your weekly income to gamble, it is still part of strategies used.

Anything that you are doing not to fall into big losses that can devastate your life is a strategy. Also some people read about things like martingale strategy and many others, they are also part of strategies that can be used in gambling. But you are not wrong that no matter what, gamblers should see gambling as a means of not making money, they should see it as fun and entertainment only and they should not use more than the amount of money that they can afford to lose.

Can't emphasize more about having fun. I mean I wouldn't mind people exploring whatever "strategies" they think works or found, it's part of the fun if they really wanted to (just like how it is in most games), but since gambling directly deals with money most people (if not all) use said strategies to assume that they'd win money (at least majority of the time) and if they don't, well, they forget often that gambling is simply just for fun.

Just the fact that House Edge exists is enough to say that a user isn't going to win against a casino at all really.

Gambling can really turn to be a problem for those who feel they can actually gamble just to have huge profits and this habit will definitely turn out to be an addiction if the huge profits you are chasing is not coming as expected. Gambling in a general sense could be seen as a fun even and I can tell you that there is no technically strategy you can use to actually become a successful gambler rather that will land you a successful chaser of your losses, it all depends on luck because the more you try to win big if you are not lucky you can end up loosing big so it's better to flex it and see this act as a fun event and don't ever gamble more than what you don't have if not you will ruin yourself through this act.

Let us say wining in total, because a gambler wins does not mean the overall result will be win, it can be loss later. I have known many days that I win very well and because of that I have more energy to gamble more and finally lose that day. This has happened to me several times. We should not take gambling to be beyond entertainment because house edge always existing. I get what you mean though, I have lucky days too, but they are the days I do not gamble that much, I win and I leave the house immediately.

I agree. We can only strategize on winning when we are playing against other gamblers like card games. Casino games are for fun and I don't know what strategies we can make out there when there's the house edge that would favor the house in the long run. Martingale is one of the most popular strategies that gamblers used but I am not really sure if these gamblers are in profit in general since they started the strategy.

In sports betting, we can analyze and have a vast knowledge of the sports we are following, but that's only it, there are no technical strategies that are directly aimed toward beating the house.

ur wrong..

there r strategies but not in all form of games..

there is definite skill involved in some type of gambling..

like poker and sports betting and that could be considered as strategy.

in last 5 years, i have made more money through gambling than by any other way..

if u play right, u can make money in long run, although at times u do encounter short term losses

but that's where u need to learn how to manage ur money..

so, yes, there is a strategy, money management, and a bit of luck.

Strategy in gambling has many applications such as strategies in managing finances that will be used for gambling strategies in choosing games or bets that will be made strategies in placing betting positions so that there is a chance of winning.
But what strategy do you mean, friend?
If the strategy is to guarantee wins and profits when betting then there is no strategy that can have a 100% guarantee or percentage of success to win.
Basically strategy is a way that gamblers do so that they have more confidence and suggestions that they can complete bets correctly but do not provide guarantees, only make it possible to increase the chances of winning for gamblers.

there are a lot of strategies that can be applied both in casinos and in classic sport-bets but this does not mean that they are "simple" methods to win or that they "guarantee" a sure win on every play.
those that give a certain guarantee are practically prohibited or lead to you being banned (example... counting cards in live blackjack).
With some strategies you can get a kind of advantage but nothing that really dramatically changes your chance of win ;)

there are several known strategies such as martingale, d'Alembert, handicapping in sports and others. however, knowing them has certain advantage but won't give you a sure win on your bets. if you think your strategy is working and you're winning, better get out while you are on the positive side. because if you will continue, you will soon find out that you are already losing what you won from your games.
so yeah, there may be gambling strategies but it will only work for certain period. and if you will not follow your instincts, you more then likely go home empty-handed.

Martingale strategy is legit as long as you have unlimited money which mean it's impossible.

It's obvious playing poker need a skill to understand how to play and how to win, but you still need a luck to get better card than your opponent.

In sport you can analyze the team or the fighter, but you still not able what will happen during the match. Except you're the player, so it depends on your performance, either you want to win or lose :P

If there is no strategy that works for you, that is okay but you cannot invalidate strategies that works for the others. The suggestion of yours is a great one because you will be able to flee from disappointment if ever it is not your day.

But if you have won with or without strategies being done, I agree to just have some fun and do not forget that purpose when you gamble so when losing streak comes to you, it won't give a heavy feeling of pain.

If its luck based, like dice, slot, or crash game there is no strategy you can employ the house always have the edge over you and this is something that is hard to overcome, but if its sports betting, you can rely on your analysis and expertise on how you know the game very well, but there's a chance that it will still not go your way.
You don't have to lose a fortune to finally come to the idea that gambling is for entertainment because it really is, just read about other people's experiences and you'll know that no strategies that can be employed to win in gambling continuously, have fun if you win then good just don't attribute it to skill or strategy.

It's no fun when you lose an amount of money though. Whats fun is wining some money.
With so many disappointments in the past, some of us do not believe in those strategies already. I did some strategies in the past from dice to roulettes and blackjack, but I always end up losing it all. If there is one strategy that works, it's to stop playing while you won.

This is why I stick to sports already like the rest of us on NBA, boxing and MMA.

Well one strategy that i just realized is that if i would gamble on wrestling (and i mean WWE as in show wrestling). I should bet the one with lowest odds and therefore highest multiplier.

And hold on you say, isn't that predetermined? That's the beauty of it. Technically that makes every match 50/50 to me, as i can't use my insight to predict anything. Then why in the world i would settle for lower multipliers? Obviously this would not guarantee anything but it would give me slight edge over the people playing low multiplies, assuming they don't have any insight either.

Only way to get real results in this is somehow to get inside Triple H's head who presumably decides who wins. But without that it would make sense to only bet on the one with lower odds.

We have to have a strategy for how much money we use to gamble so that we don't experience big losses. But unfortunately, there are still many gamblers who don't use this strategy because they are still tempted to use a lot of money to gamble. They do this because they think that by using a lot of money, their chances of winning big wins can be obtained, but this is not true. It all depends on your luck; if you are unlucky, you will still lose. And consider that gambling is entertainment for you but you have to limit yourself.

In sports betting, the winner can be predicted by doing research on the team or fighter that is currently competing, plus insight and knowledge about the sports industry is also the most important thing when making predictions for bets.
This is a strategy that must be followed by all bettors who are going to place bets on sporting events, but what is surprising is that many gamblers bet on sports bets, but they do not have knowledge and experience in sports knowledge, so they will make predictions randomly and eventually lose.

After all, if you want to seek knowledge and insight in the field of sports, it's not difficult if  really have the determination to learn so that one day when betting sports bets can make the right predictions and not carelessly.

This is more over slot machines and games of luck.When we play texas holdem poker or sport betting which also involves a level of skill beside luck then different strategies can make you win and beat the casino over the long run.I know this is more easy to say than to be done but if we are thinking our betting in sport betting for example we can choose heavy favorites like teams with 1.20 odds and make a parlay of 3 such games,we all know that most of the time these type of tickets come true,it is us who just are never happy with our winnings and want to make more and keep choosing higher amounts to bet on and higher odds and that is why even in sport betting we end up losing.

Its a fact and it's hard to change that and nobody will succeed in changing this fact, the casino works in a way that they have an edge and it will come to play anytime, you may be lucky when you started but as the game drags on the house will show his edge, you will be off and you will be wiped out.
Casinos on their terms clearly stated that they are an entertainment portal and reminds all their player to only use money that they can afford to lose and they promote responsible gambling.
If you're chasing your losses then you're not a responsible gambler.

Gambling strategies work at times and the same can't be expected to be realistic all the time. Even the success through strategy is out of the gamblers luck. Gambling is more luck based than strategy based. With sports betting mathematical calculations help in winning bets on live betting. Apart we've got good list of strategies like martingale, D'Alembert system and so on. These strategies would work, but to try this we need good wallet balance. Another thing is the risk with the strategies. Most of the time these strategies were used on recovering lost amount. At some point for a very small amount we'll be risking very big money, which means beyond certain limit the strategies were very risky.

There is a strategy in gambling but unfortunately even though we use strategy in every gambling activity we will not always go as expected, always win and get profits because gambling is not a predictable activity, playing casino games or also sports betting there are times when everything becomes wrong and only get losses, and gambling strategies should be made to control ourselves from greed by continuing to play, when we win and also continue to play to catch up with defeat, because as you said gambling should be made into a fun activity regardless of the result of winning or losing, so don't stress about the results.

Well, building a casino here in cryptocurrency is not that easy, unless the owner only aims to scam players who enter their platform.

Because I see that the ones who have funds are the ones who are really the ones who survive in the crypto gambling industry, they gamble even if they lose a bit at the beginning, but for sure they have a time frame and a cruel strategy to attract more gamblers that the rich are always their main target. Because if a casino lacks or does not have funds it will not last long and will immediately go into bankruptcy.

But if the gamblers are good in strategy at least they beat the house through the luck they have not for the skills for sure of course.

Yes, let's just have fun playing gambling. That is the reason why new people in gambling tend to be broke and lose too much money because of these things, they often become a victim of addiction, I just want to remind everyone that yes maybe some tricks and tips are good and be effective but it is all in a short term only, we should always think the golden rule of gambling, invest what we are only afford to lose.

In fact this is exactly what happened.


To be honest, I've done various types of games and various strategies that I have and on several online crypto gambling sites, whether it's poker, blackjack, dice, slots, sports, Crash, Roulette, plinko and many others, the strategy that I did really didn't work as many people said, instead I ended up disappointed.

Now I realize, gambling is exactly what you said, luck, if on a day where you are lucky all the dealers can be defeated, but on another unlucky day, whatever the balance and type of bet you make is still unlucky.

Gambling originated from recreation but it is no longer limited to recreation or fun. Many may mistakenly think of it as a source of income. Where they want to adopt various strategies to win. I think this strategy is not a big deal in gambling. Because in gambling usually only the lucky ones win. If strategy played a major role then many would have succeeded in gambling by applying their strategy. But some tricks can make it easier to reach your destiny. Many are talking about martingale strategy. If gamblers have such a financial backup then applying this strategy can increase the chances of winning. But there is no guarantee.

There is strategy in gambling if we are referring to games where skills are involved such as poker and sports betting.
So we cant generalize that there is no strategy at all in gambling, but we can say that there is no working strategy in gambling for luck based gambling games.
Many gamblers use some different strategies when they play their own favorite games.
Simple example is martingale in dice game, it is strategy and it is being used by many people.
Other example is when you play roulette and you choose to bet on specific number(s), specific color, or specific combination, it is still considered as strategy.
IMO the best phrase to say is that there is no working strategy to make you always win

Correction, There’s a lot of gambling strategy in different game to have a guide on betting. Martingale and Labouchere strategy are one of the many strategies available and each game has their own unique strategy due to its different gameplay.

The only problem out of this bunch of strategy was there’s no guarantee that you will or increase your chance of winning because this will just help you to bet logically and not by emotion.

I think we have to separate out what strategy is. I mean sometimes people get confused with betting strategy, so these are 2 different things that sometimes we see as one unit, gambling strategy and strategy in the game. The gambling strategy in my opinion is financial management so that we can control the extent that we will continue to play when we lose and win. As for the strategy in the game, I think it doesn't exist, and it's pure luck, unless we bet on certain bets.
But sometimes these 2 different things are always seen as one, that's what gets confusing in the end.

Indeed, we must not see gambling as a full-time job or source of income but anybody that claims that he is just gambling solely for entertainment might not be saying the whole truth. Nobody likes wasting money matter how small. Every gambler has expectation win that is why he stakes his money. But we must control our gambling life because if we don't it might affect our financial, family or personal life. For me seeing gambling as entertainment means staking within your means, controlling your emotion when you lose or win, and never depend on gambling for survival. It means enjoying your gambling life because your can control your behavior and finance.

There are different types of people in gambling some of them are in it for fun and some are in it for the profit.
When you are gambling for fun you don't seek any strategy you play how you want it and how you'll maximize the fun.
When your on it for profit you would seek for the best gambling style or management to gain from your capital.
We are all aware that using a strategy or method on gambling would burn you out on the long run.

May I ask you on which sportsbooks you are gambling ? Because unfortunately at most bookies, if you make substantial and consistent profits, your account will get flagged and limited or banned, and they will try to keep your funds and to dissuade you to open a new account. Only betting exchanges and parimutuel sportbooks don't care about that, along with very few bookies like Pinnacle.

There are games based on skill and strategy, People who think hard about strategy in gambling are really loosing the main focus of what gambling should be, which is for fun as you have mentioned. Don't waste to much time on trying to formulate a strategy for gambling when you can focus your energy on more important things that require a constant update of strategy like trading. Gambling is for fun, and that should be your your primary aim when you gamble, to have fun and not to turn it to a source of making money.

Well, if there were 100% successful strategies, then most casinos would have to close their doors. There are some DICE strategies that give some profit, but it does not work every time you use it.  ::)  (Just go to youtube and google dice strategies)

The casino software work with a RNG and a Server and Client seed, so it is predetermined what you are going to win, so no strategy can change that. The casino set the RTP so that they can get their house edge and then the rest are distributed towards the people that are playing.  ::)

Folks, there's this bigly misconception that gambling is a strategy-free zone. Sure, Lady Luck calls the shots in many casino games, but there are ways to tip the odds in your favor. You wanna win? Focus on low house edge games like blackjack or video poker. Use the best strategies, and you'll shrink the casino's edge like a cheap suit. Suddenly, you're the one with the upper hand! Another winning move? Set crystal-clear goals and limits before hitting the tables. Maybe you'll stop after a set time, or when your winnings hit a certain threshold. Stick to your plan, and you won't find yourself chasing losses like a chump. Knowing when to walk away? Thats real power, folks!

Strategies might work on a different way though but when it comes to winning, there’s no strategies that allows you to earn more, this is gambling and your luck is still matter here. Whatever you think your strategies are in gambling, you can’t expect a huge return from that losing is still possible. If there’s a strategy that works in gambling, then casinos will make a move to counter that because they can’t afford to lose.

I guess what people need in gambling is more of luck than strategies or skills. Because even in games like sportsbetting, though it’s a skill-based, but I believe if you don’t have luck, you will never have the chances to win too. That’s the reason why gambling is not to earn a living but only for fun and entertainment purposes only. Otherwise, you will never see the good side in gambling.

This is gambling, better to be more responsible than to look for a strategy because it doesn’t exist in gambling. I’ve tried using Martingale strategy before but still lose the money, its not working for long term and I can say that there’s no strategy that can beat the house because they have to win always. Casinos are prepared to counter every strategy, and they have the data if you are already winning for sure their system will adjust on that.

That's what we must have in mind because we can never win without luck. Unfortunately, many people do not understand this. People think that betting big bets will give them big wins. Even though it will only make you lose big money if you lose, and the truth is, we'll lose more often than we win. So whatever strategy you use in a luck-based gambling game, you might lose money or even all the money in your account. But if you can be wise in playing gambling, perhaps, you can still have money to use for gambling another day.

There are lots of strategies in gambling but all of them are deemed worthless in the long run.  It is wrong to say that there is no strategy, instead, we can say that there are strategies in gambling but it is only effective if paired with timing.

The best strategy so far and is proven to be effective is quitting while winning.  It enables us to bag our winnings and save us from possible losses.  There is also a strategy that is not applied on the game but rather on the bankroll management which enhance the player's capability to play another day's session.

It is more like a plan on how you will proceed with your gambling rather than a real strategy. As you said, gambling is more on luck especially if you are playing luck-based casino games. But you can always plan ahead on what will be your move when you are winning or when you are losing. If you have an exit strategy, you will not lose too much when you are losing and not lose your winnings when you know when to stop.

About other strategies, if it gets you a better batting average in your games, then you should continue using it. If not, then just move on and know that it does not work.

Wrong. There's a strategy for gambling. We are not just relying on luck here especially if we talked about gambling types outside of luck-based games. I found it bullsh*t to just play with fun and treat gambling for entertainment purposes. Damn, there are lots of ways to entertain ourselves without risking our money.

Didn't you realize that with so much fun as your purpose on doing gambling, you never noticed how much money you are losing now, in the long run, to just fulfill your fun and entertainment? Isn't it fun to lose? That's a sh*t approach in gambling.

If you don't care for any strategy, gambling is not for you. Don't say that people don't understand that there's no strategy in gambling in general because if does true, then there should be no gambler that reaches the level and tier of being considered a professional gambler.

It wouldn't hurt to find the best strategy while gambling because there are strategies that have different purposes like for example if you're participating in a wagering contest you'll use the highest win probability in every roll so you can efficiently accumulate wager amounts with fewer losing rolls. I'd still recommend using the best strategy that we know even though strategies overall won't be enough to help any gambler win when most if not all games rely on a lot of luck.

there are several or many people that still successful in gambling and even making their life better and easier in gambling(maybe they are a friend of Luck) but of course majority are loser.
i may not say that there are no complete strategy in gambling , but I would agree that we must have fun.
I have been gambling for many years since childhood and I must accept that never that I consider this to change my life, instead I seek for winning but accept the defeat .

So you are gambling without any strategy, then how do you gamble? For example, you are playing dice game then you must do some setting on the game like which payout you want to bet and how you do it (over/under and auto or manual). Dont you call it as strategy? If you do not call it as strategy then what do you call it? Another example is when you are playing slots, you must be selective enough to play which slots based on its RTP (high/low), based on its volatility or maybe based on its grid setup, as well as how will you play it (normal manual spins, auto, or even buy bonus). I call these all as strategy, so I wonder if you have no strategy at all then how do you gamble? Just by doing random click on any game?

When it comes to the majority of the games and the majority of the gamblers out there you are absolutely correct.

However as we know there are a few exceptions and it is on those exceptions in which most gamblers like to focus, a game like poker can be profitable if you know how to play it, however every single gambler playing poker is trying to make money with it and only a minority can do so, but despite the evidence right in front of them gamblers will keep trying to make money in this way, as the allure of making money while doing something that you enjoy is simply too difficult to resist.

@Libert19, not everyone comes for the fun, it may interest you to know that many gamblers don't interest themselves with the fun associated with gambling as their mindset only focused on doubling their stake by winning the game and the next after. This is because, to them, a part of their source of livelihood depends on it, it's only those rich boys that develops that mentality of fun while engaging in gambling activity as a means of leisure for them as they really got nothing to lose going by their source of income.

I meant people using strategies to make profit, sooner or later you are going to lose no matter what strategy you use. Yes, I use martingale to play dice, find it simple and fun. If one wanted, they could give name to even random clicking of buttons.

There's a strategy, but no strategies are proven to be effective that can work in gambling in the long run since the house always win. However, if we're pertaining to skill based games of course knowledge is your edge. It's the key to somehow increase your chances.

Nevertheless, it's just right to only gamble to entertain yourself with less hope to win. That way you won't be disappointed incase you lose your money since you're just playing to have fun.

yes it is, because the casino will still win. even using any strategy at all bets in the long run you will lose because of the house edge.
maybe this is the reason you say gamble using whatever strategy you end up losing.

but after all the strategies used in gambling are only to look for opportunities to be closer to luck.

If there was no factor of luck in gambling and it was based strictly on strategy, many people will take gambling as seriously as they take trading since they know that a greater chance of them winning depends on how good their strategy is. Gambling if so will become a full-time job for people just as you have full-time traders and there will be more discussions about how to introduce gambling to our children earlier to be aware of it since it is something they can make money from. I believe gambling is based more on strategy than luck.

Trading really need luck, it's wrong to say if you will always make money in trading because if all people seriously learn about candle stick, trend, scalping, etc, most of people are become rich via trading.

You can only hope the future will be same like your analysis, if there's a news Bitcoin is completely banned in US and Europa, the Bitcoin price will decline a lot and not like your analysis.

Gambling is same, you're predict the strong team will win, but surprisingly the weak team is win the match.

And those people will continue looking for strategies to help them win. Even if they have to use more money, they will not stop until they find the right strategy. It will make them use gambling as a job but they will find it difficult to earn money. But if they bet on sports betting, there is a chance they can win by getting as much information about that game as possible. Maybe we will see more people who will experience gambling addiction if they cannot manage their time to gamble.

There are some people feel comfortable when they think they find a good strategy to use while playing and they really enjoy doing this. And nothing wrong for believing that they have high chance to win even if the game is based in pure luck since they can enjoy what they are setting up compare if you just rely on luck and randomly placed some bets on each set.

Just don't expect to much or even being hardcore on your expectation since you can fall into addiction nor came up to unsatisfied on each result of your game.

Do you believe gambling requires strategy? I don't think so, gambling is only limited to luck in your life. Can't be sure you can repeat it again unless luck comes again to you. I am a gambler and really feel the difference between gambling and trading is different. If you want to get the chance to win again, then you have to spend more money to bet, and even then the results are uncertain, you can get them. I reiterate that I think winning at gambling is just luck.

My strategy is that I don’t have it. I play for fun, this is my main priority.There is always an amount that I spend on various games and bets, and if I don’t win anything, it’s like a payment for a good time and nothing more.I know that there are people who make big money on games and they have a plan and strategy for the game, but it doesn't always work.

I have read a situation a gambler already budgeted the money he ought to win from gambling even when he has not won the money.
This is the level of expectation that leads people into losing huge amounts of money.
In everything that has to do with risk-taking and risk management. There is always some standard rules, but when we overlook these rules, the repercussion will now be on us to bear the consequences.

It is better to gamble for fun by using the list amount of money that you are able to lose.
This is also applicable to bitcoin investment. But when there is a sign of bull run people will forget about the rules of investment and place emotion and instincts over reality. Then the end result will be a disastrous loss.

Strategies are mainly used to assist you managing your bankroll properly, making it last longer, so you can play for a long time with a relatively low or average budget, while a gambler playing crazily without any methods or strategies in mind is much more likely to spend a fortune in a short time period, without having any fun or solid gameplay. I've already seen gamblers losing 2,000$-20,000$ in few minutes for that reason. That is completely foolish.

So it totally worth to adopt a strategy to your gambling session. You may not always win, but you will have more chances to win if playing in an organized way, plus having more fun.

I have a alot of methods adopted in my gambling lifestyle serving as strategies and i love to alwa gambles whenever i am excited about trying something new maybe i could get a better results, this doesn't mean whenever I gambles i use an entire different techniques, but the vibes only comes in an occasional occurrence which i alwa like to tryout something new, despite it takes risk of loosing money but it's all fun to do.

EV Negative games obviously will be profitable for the casino owner in the long run. EV Positive games will be profitable to the player at times but not always. The gamblers often get swayed by that thought of getting rich such that the concept of logic goes out of their heads and they consider themselves to be at war with the casino and that perpetuates the house edge to catch up to them in an EV- game.

Most of the gamblers go in for the excitement that it provides but dont know when to stop and come back to the reality. It is addictive for someone who has a problem, but being able to quit is maximally going to profit them.

There is no strategy in an EV- game, it is all luck. For EV+ games, skills are involved.

Are you indirectly saying gambling is a game of luck?
To me is far above game of being Lucky to win because whenever you don't seat properly to make your predictions correctly you may stand little chance of winning but whenever you forecast how the games are being played (Sportbooking precisely) then you stands another best chances of winning the game for the week or day. So gambling more than being a game of Luck, there are some cases where you could predicts and never win does it mean you don't luck or you are lucky for that day?
We truly understand is a game of fun but whenever you don't apply wisdom to get your scores correctly then you may hardly win the game.

Another word for strategy is a method, you have your own way of gambling from the results of your experience of gambling or adopting it from other people, I think that is also a strategy that can make you more happy in gambling, I also do it, not in gambling there is a specific strategy that is most effective and gives consistent wins, but there are indeed some moments that we realize after doing a lot of gambling that we can consider it a lucky chance with several supporting elements to get a win, and I think that is included in a strategy that relies on the hunch of victory and that's what makes gambling even more fun.

There are strategies that work depending on the games you select, your knowledge of the game and your experience playing.

Thanks to video poker I have gotten comped hotel rooms and buffets for the past 15 years. I can play for hours and run my points up and walk away at least at break even every time.

Your (at times unrealistic) goals and expectations have a lot to do with rendering a winning strategy ineffective.

Is it not an exaggeration if you think gambling can get consistent wins. The strategy you are referring to will not work in gambling that relies on luck, no one will know luck and cannot be predicted. But when talking about soccer betting, it will be more technical because it can use analysis on teams and players. but for gambling that relies on luck such as slot gambling, technical strategies will not apply.

It's good to stick into those sports that you've been winning and even if you lose there, that's fine because you're enjoying the sport and you're doing it because you know what you're doing and you just place bet randomly there.

Many gamblers forget that when they've won such amounts, they're not leaving for that day and keeps on going thinking that there shall be more.

But, with proven experiences, that's not really going to work properly if you've been there. Sometimes, small wins are better than having no wins but losses.

Easy to say but would really be that hard for you to have such control on the time that you do gamble.You cant really assure that you could be able to handle yourself on the time that you would be doing gambling.
We know that gambling game could be classified into 2 categories which is pure luck ones and strategic which means that it would really be just common sense on what would be your approach when it comes on what game you would really be that dealing.If you are involved on a game which is heavily purely relying on luck then it would really be just that wrong on pushing yourself to win and really that
trying to make your strategies do work which is really not really that ideal at all.You are just piling up your losses even way more worst.

That's just the point.... Vividly expressed.
I use to hear 'em peeps be bragging how they all make a leaving outta gambling and I keep asking, how?? How could rely on such inconsistent source of income? What if it turns out bad for you in a whole week or month?? (Cus it might actually happen?)?...
I normally see the process as -- simply paying to have virtual fun or something, but with an advantage of gaining sometimes at the end of the day, as an incentive....it's that simple..some peeps push too hard and when it doesn't cut, they feel like running into a homicide.

Interesting, what you say will have a varied response from the community. yes, everyone will have different assumptions and perspectives. but for me personally, I prefer to say "technique", not strategy. but really, there's nothing wrong with that. there is nothing wrong if some gamblers say they have a strategy in their gambling, as well as with a technique, or all kinds related to gambling, including as you said. every gambler, has the right to claim whatever they believe in. So, no more arguing with that.

To be honest, I prefer to say it technically. yes, I have techniques related to gambling, especially when it comes to football betting. supposing that I didn't have a technique, that way, every gamble I made could be said to be blind. that is why, I say technique. well, in a technique, knowledge, experience and insight, foresight, and combined into analysis are needed. so, that's how I describe it. a matter of winning or losing, that is another matter, let's leave it to luck. one more thing, the idea of ​​making gambling part of a hobby and pleasure is an idea that should be gripped by gamblers.

Gambling indeed should be for fun, but I disagree that there is no strategy, there are strategies, but what you would say, and I would believe is that, those strategies does not directly influence winnings or losses, it all still depends on luck, most especially, playing slot games..
As for sports betting, it depends on how lucky one is at predictions, and also good and deep knowledge of the game being played and the team playing the game..

Martingale is one of the strategies gamblers explore when playing slot, this strategy does not directly affect win or lose, but could make the gambler win more money if he or she is lucky.

Well said mate, like you l also believe there is such thing as gambling strategy for you to win big or even get fixed winnings,  I personally believe that for one to win a bet it all depends if on that particular stake luck falls to be on your side if not you will loose the bet. I feel the only strategy there is to gambling Is the strategy of you not loosing more of your money for example all your gambling expenses for a month should be fixed and you should never go against that amount to avoid more losses and more intensity to play more.

That is the reason why gambling casinos are making huge and consistent profits because they have always the advantage over the players. Even if the players are great and very skilled, as long as they got no luck the time they gamble, they will never have the chances to win. That’s why gambling is much better if you play it for entertainment rather than making it a source of living.

That is why the house always wins, house edge factor is there for exactly this reason. No matter what strategy or methods the player uses the house edge factor makes it unbeatable mathematically, no one can beat this equation without beating the house edge factor. Chances are high to win regularly but one red session may clean everything if the player refuses to stop aka cutting loss as it explained in the trading world. Entertainment is key and as it explained please stop when the fun stops. Otherwise, you gonna chase loss which ends in the same final scene, and you will never recover with this gambling mindset.

House do always wins in the end specially when you do prolong your gambling sessions on which HE would really be still ripping off the money or profit you do have unless if you do able to hit up some huge multiplier and put you up on greens or positive then it would be good but if you do still go or look after for more profits then those amounts would be surely be given back into the casino once again.

This is why its really that important that you should really be remindful about on the actions you would be doing, unless if you do go for more leisure or entertainment without minding
on how much you do spend on that particular session then it would really be entirely your choice. No one really knows on how lucky you are on a specific
period specially on gambling.

I highly agree, instead of saying that there is no strategy in gambling,  @OP should have stated that there is no effective strategy in gambling that can last for a long time.  Except for games outside luck-based gambling, strategy is often effective for only short duration of time.  That is because the gambling result is random and the longer we play in the casino the harder it is to win or the more frequently it triggers long series of red streaks.  

About playing for fun or playing to win, I agree that it is a waste of time if we only consider gambling just to play for fun.  And it is no fun if we see our funds slowly depleting.  Btw, gambling strategy does not only involve gameplay decision, it also involves bankroll management and time management.

At this point I am almost completely convinced that the best one can do as "strategy" while gambling is learn how to do budgets and manage both money and risk (about the same how traders do, but adapted to your favorite games)

Mostly the term "strategy"  compatible with the context of gambling if you are the house and are thinking about a future advertisement strategy to increase the number of concurrent players in your platform, otherwise, just avoid being a reckless gambler and irresponsible adult  ;)

We have some instances in this forum of what happens otherwise.  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5434506.msg61586158#msg61586158)  :(

LOL what the heck are you guys talking about. Not all gambling games are games of chance/luck..some gambling is a game of skill.  Even placing sports bets can be a game of skill /strategy.  Strategy is actually a pillar of gambling.  It's especially apparent when playing games like poker and blackjack.  There's strategies when it comes to bluffing, when to hit and when to hold, etc etc.  I could go on and on.  Sure, some games are pure chance, but many aren't.

People consider betting methods strategies in gambling, which is what has been going on for decades. There can be no strategy that can maximize the chances of one winning or reduces the chances of losing. The only strategy that one should use and that can save them from excessive losses in to properly manage their funds and the bankroll for gambling.

Setting a time or a specific amount for each gambling session can greatly reduce the risk of going bankrupt and can even make someone get a few wins at times. If one has a specific amount, if it's lost, they should stop gambling at that exact time.

Actually there are some winning strategies only for poker and some shady activities can make you win everytime on roulette but they are completely banned from casino side for example counting cards in blackjack is prohibited by every casino ironically it's not that easy to find someone is counting their cards especially while playing online however you need to be extremely smart with extraordinary memory power to succeed with such strategy.

So for commoner just enjoy the moment you're betting and celebrate if you win or else just hard luck don't regret and never ever try to chase you loss.

Lossing ain't fun though, and yes there is a strategy in gambling, but still it also requires luck.
Do you think analysing and researching about a specific match in sports gambling prior to the game isn't called a strategy? If you don't do that, you might end up betting on a wrong side.
Do you think a simple "poker face" in a game of poker isn't a strategy? You'll probably get exposed if you keep showing your demeanor and facial reactions every time you had a bad and good cards.
By doing these kind of simple strategy will give you lesser risk of lossing.

Betting strategy is essential to keep yourself away from many losses that could be prevented. There are different gambling strategies in which people claim to personally work for them. However, these strategies aren't really a solution that fits to all since we have different skills and luck that dictates whether we will win or lose. But to incorporate strategies in betting, you minimize the risk of losing your hard-earned money in a snap.

In gambling, the house really does win every time. No matter you win or lose, the house technically benefits regardless because you increase the traffic on their website, you give them profits through losses, and you serve as free advertisement through words of mouth by telling other people about  your experience with their service, and thus, they gather more and more clients over time. Gambling for fun and gambling for profit is the most common argument there is in gambling, but it's really a matter of preference and what you are after to, which no one could really impose to you.

This is true, many don't understand this, understanding this is understanding peace, gambling shouldn't be your sole way of getting rich, you will get burnt pretty fast, it is better to gamble like you are playing a video game, it's a luck game this time around so use the money you won't be needing any time soon.

The reason why many got rekt while gambling is because of the unrealistic expectations and the unrealistic dreams they want to fulfill through gambling.

That's the mindset needed for every gambler but we have different perspectives about why we are gambling. Some are doing it to double their money and have some spare after budget while others are just purely gambling expecting a bigger winning amount, almost like a job to them.
There is no stopping it though, I have seen gamblers who will even go to lengths like loaning and pawning their possessions just so they could continue playing.
I am not against it because that's their money but watching them made me learn a lot of things on what should be the mindset to avoid getting rekt.

I think main strategy to follow when you are gambling is to measure your funds in the best way possible. There is only one way to keep gambling and its to have enough funds. If you can properly do risk/return calculations you may turn into lifetime gambler. Other than this I also think strategies about gambling are generally exaggerated.
I also think there could be some strategies involved when you are doing sports betting but it is completely different case. It is more about skill and knowledge so. In general its better to bet on the least amount of matches possible there.

Therefore, we must be able to make gambling one of entertainment, the same as other types of entertainment. What's different is that you use the money to play gambling and hope to win some money, where it won't always be what you want. Knowing this, a person who gambles does not use excess money but only uses a small amount for fun and finishes when he has had enough.

But most people keep on gambling because they think that if they keep on gambling, they still have a chance to win. And the reality is that they will experience many defeats that they might not have imagined before. They hope too much to win some money without realizing that at that time, their chances of losing money will also be greater.

Not true, there's a lot of strategy in gambling it is just the fact that not all the time it is working and it is still depends on the odds whether you'll be winning or not. Not alone in gambling there is an strategy but also there is a strategy for your bankroll I think that too is effective not only in gambling but also in trading. We have different perspectives on whether a strategy is effective or not but I think it really depends on how do you understand it or how are you going to use it.

Gambling will be gambling. But you can turn gambling into business. Putting in data and creating a statistical guess where you identify when the odds are likely to be on your side and put your fund at risk. It is like investing is it? You can back it up with sound money management and risk-reward ratios.

Simply put if you have 2:1 RR. Toss a coin. If it heads, you lose $50, if it's tails, you gain $100. At the end of a series of trades with 50/50 odds, you still would end up with positive gains.
Is it luck? Probably. Is it backed with data and sound management? Absolutely.

Losing ain't fun. But it's a normal part of the game. The most important thing is you followed a system that when you put in play, chances are in your side.



Truly. gambling is making money fast and losing it faster. Some gamble for validation of having wins, impulsive betting, and chase of dopamine. And when they lose, it would be destructive.
There's the other side. Gambling turned into a business. It is making money smart and consistent. Which side are you on?

I think like this: every day every player is faced with one or another winning strategy, and no one knows for 100% whether he will receive a win at the end of each game. No matter what game you play - the chances of success are 50/50

I read about different strategies in games here - https://luckymeph.com/ (https://luckymeph.com/)

No, luck is what a gambler needs. However, luck is unpredictable, it can be on your side or against you at times. We should not anticipate winning every time we gamble. Just gamble for fun, not with the intention of making sums of money. If you are fortunate enough to win, consider yourself lucky. Even though this is rare, there are times when we get lucky and win big sums of money. That is the opportunity to strategize, not to win, but to secure the prize without losing it again through greed.

Gambling strategies as much as you wanna deny it do exist, albeit for some games but it is a real thing.

Counting cards in blackjack
Bluffing in Poker

There are a lot of strategies involved in games that find themselves in the casino. I guess you're talking about games like slots or dice which are all solely based on the arbitrary chance that you get a win but still, to completely deny it for the sake of "it's all a game" mindset is a little funny to me. I'm one to preach about how important it is to have fun when gambling rather than take profit (you can check my gambling posts) but employing strategies to mess with your opponents or to amp your chance a little is fun too!

Actually there is no fixed strategy for gambling. It totally depends on luck. In some cases like sports betting sites, if you consider wisely you will definitely understand which team will win, in that case you can change the luck a bit by adopting strategy. Moreover, other sites depend entirely on luck. And especially if I ever lose at gambling, I never have it badly, I have it purely as entertainment. Because we participate here for entertainment, I don't feel bad if I lose.

Gambling have strategies,and if not carefully analysed one can loose money in excess.First and foremost analysis matters alot. Like how many times the sides in question have met,the outcome of their meetings,current form and so on. Although iven after all this analysis things can still go the opposite. Ivents also like red card,injuries to key players can also have an impact in a match regardless of how much analysis was made.But with me I usually choose bookies who put corners in there games,with a proper analysis one can win regularly with this market. It has a more sure outcome.

Ideologies of such might really be working to them and there's no need for us, who are not having the same belief, to marginalize them or even criticize what they are doing. Remember; if it works then it is useful. It could be that they are lucky or the strategy itself is just valid or working. On my end, I still look at gambling as a faster way to lose money than with investments. Gambling strategies won't be famous if it did not work its proponent, therefore, discriminating won't do you any good. To name one, martingale is one of the popular strategy but for me it just a way to double the risk and put you into bigger tendency to lose more. But if you would ask others they are still doing such strategy because they're used of it.

Do you really think that in the modern world there is some information that people may not know? Or do you mean exactly the case when they see the information but do not understand it? With gambling, it seems to me that everything has long been clear to the majority. For normal people it's just entertainment (like most entertainment it costs money - it's normal), but for the minority who are addicted it's a really painful thing, but it's unlikely that you will change their behavior by suddenly "surprising" them with the fact that there are no strategies in gambling.

No one has ever won big in gambling without luck. But in all cases it should not depend on luck. Because in sports betting, if you don't know the players of the team well and their present condition or who are the player will play in that particular match etc, then the luck will stay somewhat away from you. If good analysis is done there then luck may close to you. So all I can say that your strategy can bring you closer to success in any gambling. But if luck does not favor, there is no value for strategy.

Gambling has no specific strategy. Gambling is for fun, its something you should do for fun at your leisure time.
People that think that gambling has a strategy for winning are those that makes gambling as a means of source of income or they want to make a living from gambling.
The only thing that looks like strategy in gambling is gambling with little amount of money that you can easily forget.
I don't have the mindset of making money from gambling so there is no particular strategy i use in gambling. I gamble when i feel like just to have some fun with friends especially when my favourite team is playing match.

That is indeed true and that is what we should do in gambling so that we don't experience too many losses. But sadly, people who make gambling as a way to make money try to devise a strategy (at least that's what they say) to win. But that didn't make them successful in making money. Instead most of them lost large amounts of money. Instead of their "strategy" working, they ended up going bankrupt. We can only make gambling a place to have fun with friends and you already know the purpose of your gambling.

^Definitely right that luck can still play a significant role in gambling, luck is a factor in determining the outcome of a bet, and careful analysis and strategic decision-making can increase your chances of success. Because even the bets against the underdog team can lose.
It is also good to remember that gambling should always be done responsibly and within one's means. While there are some strategies that people swear by, it is ideal to understand the risks involved and to make wise decisions.

There are specific strategies but their effectiveness should be the question.

Yes, and that's always being said by the most of us in here.

Well, even those that want to have fun. They want to know those strategies. You're not just here to have fun and lose everything, as much as you want, you want to see your bets and money win some money back even if you're just a casual gambler.

Gambling is never a parade of skills but literally it’s more on luck, and so even if you have the best strategies to gamble, that won’t guarantee profits as gambling is still mostly dependent on luck. However, if you have the luck and great working strategies altogether, I think profiting ahead is clear enough. But if you have strategies alone, that won’t make you easily profit in gambling. So gamble for fun, and not for profits.

Gambling isn't always just about luck, and it also entirely depends on what kind of gambling one's doing.  There are plenty of types of gambling games where skill is critical, and knowing what you're doing is 50% of the battle, making luck simply not enough.  Black Jack for example is in large part a game of skill.  I would argue the same for Poker. Of course there are games like roulette which are largely luck, but even that game requires skill.

Some gambling are based on skill and some based on luck. We can’t be on one side for the both, because skill also help us to earn some money. The only way to get happiness from gambling by considering the gambling for fun and not considering gambling as money making platform like trading. Play gambling without any expectation and enjoy the every moment with the joy. If you don’t have huge money, play the gambling with less amount of dollars. Even if you loss some money, it will be learning loss. Some experience people ready to loss some money for experience. When come to experience of individual players, it surely take some time. It also vary to all the players, for few people it only takes 1 month to complete full analysis and experience. But to many it takes huge time period.

Generally, there's a strategy in anything that two or more people can do and be successful at, which gambling is one of them. There was a report of some set of individual that use a strategy to win whenever they gamble and didn't get caught until a very long time.

Although gambling has to do with much of been lucky but you can also find a way to come out successful most times.When gambling just consider yourself having fun and not get pressured into wanting to win whenever you bet or you'll always encounter bad lucks.

Been luckily is one of the ways to always win your bet and there has been ways of making yourself lucky and been prepared is one of those ways, always be prepared.

Depends on who you are asking. I feel like losing is "fun" in certain situations. I am not saying that I have fun just by doing regular dice with boring results and just straight up losing my hand. But for example, being in a tournament for a poker reward and then losing as 6th in the tournament of 1000, could be very fun, you still lost and maybe not even got anything because the first three got rewards and 6th got nothing, but you may still have fun there.

So it depends on how you lost, was it something boring that you did and lost, or was it something entertaining and you lost anyway, they are very different two things. Make sure that you participate in things that are fun, that way you could make a lot more profit in the end.

In gambling we have two types of games here, one is luck-based and the other is skill-based. It was the skill-based is the one that people take seriously. They can make strategy in hopes of increasing their winning chance but there must be a little luck needed here in order to be successful.

There are still people who take luck-based games seriously and just like on the skill-based games, they too can come up with their own strategy but this only have a little effect. In trading, a little luck might be needed. There are so many people who take trading seriously but unfortunately, they are mostly losing. That is because trading is not easy.

If we can play both sides, that obviously can give us a big chance to win but it may not be easy because we have to be able to divide the focus for each game.
Maybe we can look for sports bets first and analyze them, then place bets and then play games based on luck.
If many people could think of gambling as fun and not spend a lot of money gambling, they would not regret losing a few dollars.
But we see many people have used too much money. Instead, they have lost almost all or even all of their money.

Card games are really skill-based games because you can't just jump at the table and try to play the cards given to you because you don't know the rules and also because you don't have a strategy, unlike slots or roulette, where you can just sit and try to bet whatever you want and you'll try your luck if you win. As long as you can play the gambling games without prior experience or knowledge of them, they are luck-based games for me, but for those who have more complicated rules and strategies, they are skill-based games.

Even though they are on gambling sites for fun, they will not be willing to lose too much money just for fun.
Gamblers who say they are playing for fun are just small thoughts because in their minds, their thoughts will always be filled with the hope that a win can provide an advantage.
That's why every gambler definitely wants a strategy that is good enough so that they can still play for fun but on the other hand they can win and reduce the percentage of losses.
After all, many gamblers are starting to find out ways or steps to minimize the number of losses.

Skill-based games should really be taken into consideration because they require the ability to distinguish what actions should be done in order to win. To win a skill-based games, of course you have to build a strategy. A strategy and techniques that will give you the higher percentage of winning against fellow gamblers or against the house itself. Although we should still remember that there is only a specific RTP you can win against the house, so combining everything you've got to get the favorable outcome is necessary.

Luck-based games players have their strategies too, yes that's right. It just depend on people whether he'll have one or none at all and just rely on the chance and probability given the nature of the game.

There is no need for anyone to be indirect about that, gambling without a doubt is a game of luck, and you cannot win no matter what you do unless you are lucky. No strategies, no planning, and no betting method can make you win a single penny if you got no luck at all. I know people win sometimes, some win very big amounts, but they don't win because they have a specific strategy for that, it's just because they got luck on their side.

If we talk about sports betting, even the results of that can be based on your luck, though there are more chances of winning if you understand the sport you are betting on and the team that you've chosen, but still, if the win isn't in your destiny, even the favorite team will lose that day.

It's true, a sports betting is more predictable than luck based games because if we're understand the sport, the player or the team, we know how good they're and how possible they will beat their opponent. While in lucky based game there's no clue about the next spin, if you say we can take a look with the pattern, it's wrong because I've done it before. It's really unpredictable and I don't think there's a legit strategy in lucky based games.

in recent years I could see people who make a living with gambling, I could see great professional gamblers who support their family with sports betting since years, they are people who spend many hours doing analysis of many leagues like bundesliga, premier league, serie A, portuguese league, brazilian league, Ligue1, la liga, NBA and many other sports. these people can analyze many games, when they analyze a game they have to take into account which are the good players of each team, which are the players of each team that are injured, where they will play, if they will play at home or away from home, what is the history of confrontation between the two teams, results of the two teams in the last 5 games until they reach the conclusion that the team is the best option to bet on, this has nothing to do with luck. in sports betting you should not count on luck


honestly I don't see how dice games, plinko and so many other games that depend on luck can have any strategy, if a person right now takes 100$ and goes to play pliko and I ask him the following: what analysis did you do before playing plinko to define a strategy? did this strategy work? The person's answer will undoubtedly be that he didn't analyze anything and just started playing and was lucky to win something or lost everything. but if I ask the same question to a poker player, without a doubt he will tell me that he thought of things X and Z and then created strategy Y and with that he managed to win and made a profit. that's because in games that depend on luck there is no strategy. near my house there are those slot machines, I see that few people in my neighborhood play in those machines, but when it comes to sports betting, many people in my neighborhood bet, that is, people in my neighborhood know that slot machines slot depend on luck and easily they can lose all money

Sports betting don't totally rely on luck because we can have basis which could also be an edge upon betting. We can research the strength of players and their background history.
However, there are really luck based games that even if we apply any strategies, the result will still rely on our luck. Lottery and slots are some of them. I also tried applying the pattern strategy but it still didn't work for me.

One of the basic strategies on gambling is take more time to carry out some basic expensive research on the particular game or odd you want to place on, you can also follow a trusted tipsters or some good prediction site, to enable you know the previous performance of the particular team you are following. You have to try as much as possible avoid over confidence in any particular team due to even the best can lose any time. Handicapper is also advised to be applied,. It can reduce your chances of losing.

If we make a poll about what a gambler gets pleasure from, most of the participants will obviously answer that winning, because actually winning is what makes us play gambling again and again.

Therefore, all who gamble do it for pleasure, only someone is able to enjoy the game after losing $100, and someone after losing $100 is trying to win them back and gets not pleasure, but irritation.

Apart from sports betting and poker, I don't think that any other game can be made less risky by using any kind of strategy, one can just play around with their betting method and keep changing games every now and then when they are losing consecutively to reduce the risk of losing everything at once but have more opportunities to get a win based on luck.

Your luck may not change completely in such a short time but this trick sometimes works in your favor when you take a break or keep changing games back and forth when you are losing and not winning at all.

 ;D I have never read anything more funny about gambling. Just be lucky - here is a unique strategy that will bring you success!

As for the presence of strategies in gambling in general (as in any activity), it is obvious that when gambling strategies are discussed, it is understood that they must be profitable. Losing strategies are of no interest to anyone and everyone knows them.

That is what the OP is saying, that there is no strategies in gambling but we only need a luck to win on them. Luck is unpredictable so we must not expect too much but we should only play the game the normal way. If we win then great. If we don't want this to lose, we better withdraw it as soon as possible.

This is the real strategy here, to make use of the money properly. Before, I am always itchy to gamble and I always end up re-depositing the money that I win but to be able to solve this, I just convert my profit in physical money. I can also use these money to buy important things in the house. If the winning are huge enough then maybe I will use it to open up a business.

Certainly there is no strategies in gambling. And if by any means there is any strategy then it should be the cautions to gamble or to gamblers.
Gambling for fun and gambling with the intentions to make much money are not the same. People who think that gambling has a certain strategy are those that want to make a living from gambling. Gambling is a fun thing and nothing more.

There is no winning strategy towards gambling, especially when it comes to casino gambling. The closest you could come is in the sportsbook but even that too comes without any assurance as you still could be beaten on your best bet.

Though, there is nothing wrong with having a style or format of play. It's one way to ensure control over what funds your ready to gamble with and how many tries you would want to take before you either win or exhaust your gambling funds.

It's aways cool you approach gambling with some permutation, even though it's a game of luck.

I've always gambled just for fun, but at the same time I'm aware of many peeps who are using gambling to make a living. I've never asked what they're doing to be successful but they're probably using some kind of system or strategy. I mostly do betting and I have to say that it's very hard to earn money by placing impulsive bets or just following any kind of betting tips.

I guess, it's not that simple. and we can't generalize to all gambling. in fact, there are some bets that require technique or strategy and one simple example is poker. if we talk about pure luck-based gambling games, I agree with what you say. but actually what we discuss there will always be pros and cons. The reason is, there are many gamblers who believe that every game has its own tricks. although, the game is purely based on luck, yes, apart from myths or just mere justification.

As I said, that not all of us can generalize for all types of gambling. for example, I like to bet on football. I'm not saying that in sports betting you need strategy. however, we will always involve many factors in every betting consideration. I usually call it a technique or method, some other gamblers say strategy. in fact, there's nothing wrong with that. One more thing, I agree with what you said, that the idea of ​​gambling for fun is the most appropriate choice of words. it's just that, it's not very nice to say, if people who have a strategy are equated with people who make a living from gambling. believe me, almost every gambler wants to win, because that's the sensation we get from the fun side of gambling.

Easy to say but when you are on the losing side of things then it would really be totally different in speaking about losing which it would be normal that you would be having that kind of common reaction which you would really be that disappointed on the current situation you are in.For those people who do accept their fate on the time that they do gamble and accepting their losses then its good as long they do able to get that leisure time but its normal to have still those impulsive reactions along the way.

Strategies is just really some things that would be spicing up your gameplay and it isnt something that guaranteed out profits or assurance that you would be having a good run.
This is why it would really be depending on your approach and emotion towards your gambling session.

That's right, you just expect that your money won't come back anymore once you stepped into the casino whether it's physical or online. But to say that you're good to lose everything seems not right, a gambler for fun or not doesn't want to just giveaway the money he's got into the casino and doesn't have any thoughts of winning. Well, winning back is another topic to talk about but you just don't give it willingly as you gamble and you don't lose that enthusiasm of winning in an instant. Why not just give it outrightly to the casino if you aren't thinking of winning and let them have your money anyway since you're not thinking of winning regardless of your reasons to gamble? The idea of winning is always there but you set boundaries that whether you win or lose, you're not heavy hearted with any of them.

Gambling should be for fun and nothing more than having fun and entertaining yourself, but gambling has strategies. What is needed is to never go against your strategy and never go beyond your budget. As a gambler, you can use strategy or use no strategy, but what make something fun for someone can make it not fun for another person. Because you do not like using any strategy is the fun you have while gambling, but having strategy is the fun for another person. What is important overall is discipline of emotion not to overcome you while gamble.

Black Jack is not entirely a game of skill as the cards that you get will determine the level of your luck, I know there is a strategy called card counting for Black Jack but it isn't something that everyone can do nor it's so easy to determine how you can win a game. It might even be a working strategy if you are gambling at a land-based casino, but in online casinos, the game is totally based on your luck.

Poker is arguably a game of skill, I agree with that. But apart from that, except for sports betting, all gambling games are mainly based on one's luck and whether a person will win or lose depends on their luck.

There is a strategy but I think what you are trying to say is there are no strategies that can work 100% in gambling but if it can increase our winning chance by some percent then why not make use of it? There are different types of strategies and maybe there are some who are useless because the game fully depends on luck.

When I am playing those types of games, I don't usually apply a strategy because I think the result will still be the same. I will only waste my time and it can cause some disappointment if I lose while I'm using a strategy. To play for fun or profit, indeed that we must only spend money that we can afford to lose so that things are not going to be hard later on.

Yes, if you take a large number of bets (distance), then the result will always be equal to the casino margin. Even if we put two players at roulette, for example, and one will have the task of winning as much as possible, and the other, on the contrary, will have to lose as quickly as possible, then if they have an adequate limit on the size of the bet (so that they cannot go all-in), then at the end they end up with roughly the same result. It may even turn out that the one who wanted to lose will have a better balance than the one who tried to win.

I used to use this strategy with my friends in live roulette or roulette in my city. my friend is in charge of putting up to lose and me to win so that the results are certain and still get a profit by calculating all the bets.
but unfortunately this strategy will still lose to the dealer when one day the ball stops at a number that I didn't choose and my friend didn't choose either.

any strategy in the real casino is still based on luck alone and you have to be brave to take risks.

There are gambling strategies actually working perfectly for some people but not a must that we use same strategies others are using for our own, everyone has to think about what's best for them and adopt using any strategy they think is best for themselves, we should also be reminded that gambling takes risk, despite the more we get involved in it doesn't mean we must alwa win or loose in whenever we gambling because the main focus was to have fun.

Yes, if there is a strategy, we must use it. But from what I've experienced that strategy is useless at all, instead it makes me unable to enjoy the game. Strategy usually requires us to focus, and for me personally it detracts from my enjoyment of playing. especially me who sometimes plays while enjoying food and other relaxing things.
I meet a lot of friends who always talk about strategy and the result is that they still lose just like me who doesn't use any strategy. And what @libert19 said is true, don't misinterpret strategy, because the strategy that is meant in gambling is how to manage finances so as not to go over the limit.

There is no strategy that working perfectly, if it does exist means that there are some people who become billionaire by using the strategy.
If you say strategies are working perfectly means that it will never failed and it should be able to be used by all gamblers.
However I think you want to say that there are some gamblers who win some money by using specific strategy but it does not mean that the strategy is working perfectly because these gamblers may lose their money as well using the same strategy.

Well, it seems that what you said is the most appropriate wording and I agree with what you said, no strategy works perfectly and this is the most correct answer to the statement that the OP said in this thread. in the process, every gambler has a different understanding regarding gambling. some people say that there is no strategy in gambling, some others believe that gambling always requires a strategy. although each person has a different definition or version regarding the gambling strategy itself.

But for sure, there will always be related pros and cons which we discuss in this thread. even so, everyone will agree that in every gambling / betting will always involve a factor of luck. be it for amateur gamblers, even professional gamblers are no exception. by the way, overall I agree with what you said in this post.

There's no indeed strategy on which we should bare up into our minds that these things are really just making that games to prolong out but doesnt mean that it would be increasing out your chances of winning.

Well, it cant really be just avoided for you not to mind on that you would be having some advantages on making use of these strategies which it is really that something a normal or common approach.

Just go with the flow and make use of strategies on making your capital to sustain for longer duration or time spent on gambling if you are really that looking or finding for leisure.
If you are really that looking for that thing then you wont really be making yourself that desperate.

I have that in my mind that I only gamble to have fun and whatever is come to my losses, they'll serve as my entry ticket to the casino to have fun and that's it.
That's a good thought that someone don't want to feel guilty with his loses because it's just too stressful that you've been losing.
We don't want to have that in mind so just think of those loses as what OP said, as an expense for entertainment. Regardless of the strategies you make, that's actually a good strategy to trick our minds as we gamble and whichever will be result of it.

No offense, but it was a very stupid strategy - didn't you know that if you bet on every number that is in roulette (including zero) you would still lose? The payout amount will always be less than the bet amount (by about 3%, depending on how many zeros are in the roulette). In some cases, this may make sense (using bonuses or increasing the wager in order to receive a bonus), but this may be against the rules of the casino.

As long as you play within your boundaries, there will be less to no reason for you to regret because of course, in gambling, there's only a win or lose situation. The moment you placed your bet, you decided to accept whatever fate will give you. But if you will play because of such a rush and impulsive decision due to peer pressure or just by greediness, there's a high chance you'll lose and you'll end up regretting big time. You should be able to control your emotions and your urge to bet otherwise, losses may come knocking at your doorstep.

Playing gambling is not easy money, it will only bite you to win in the beginning and after that, it will only make you lose. We all know that gambling always depends on luck and not on strategy.

That's why it has a house edge that always wins over players on their platform. Because most of the casinos here in crypto gambling are really programmed to lose most of the gamblers and the gambling platforms make most of the gamblers become addicts here, that's what is really happening.

I certainly agree, no player could beat the house edge and we should accept the fact that if we expect high winnings on gambling, we might just lose all our funds.
Gambling was originally made for entertainment purposes and it's just that people nowadays see it as a shortcut to getting wealthy which builds a wrong mindset and wrong purpose.
We all want to win but we shouldn't expect too much because no matter what strategy we may use, luck and destiny will always be our winning basis.

You really need to be disciplined to control your emotion when gambling, if you want to gamble for fun why don't play a video game? I think deriving fun from gambling can't be the only reason we are all gambling, that hope of making some money is still lingered inside of us.

Like many, I enjoy gambling for fun, but I am still hopeful that I will be able to win some money with the very small amount I use.

I only make sure not to pass my boundary by using money that's intended for another expense to gamble or borrow some money hoping that I will make more and return the loan.


Ensure you play within your means and enjoy your gambling.

And that loss will make you keep coming back to gambling and using more money. People return to gambling for many reasons and usually want to recover their losses from yesterday's gambling. And even though some people use strategy in gambling, it can't always give them victory.

We can indeed become gambling addicts but if we have strong self-control, we will not end up becoming gambling addicts. That's why we really have to be able to take care of ourselves while playing gambling and don't continue playing gambling if we have experienced loss.

Strategies are really just that trying out to spice up your gaming time or sessions which it isnt really something that been built for you to make some sure win bets which it is really that a wrong mindset or idea to have in mind and there are people who do really pushes up their luck to the limit where they do really tending to make things to work on using up these strategies without even trying to understand on whats the reality of it.

If you are that someone who do really have that kind of mindset who do forces out on what they are trying to believe specially when it comes to gambling then it would really be bringing up that kind of disaster
on which you would likely be losing up bigtime before you would be able to make out some realizations about this one.

I deserve that it is not possible for any player to beat the house edge. Every gambler has a limitation. And if that limit is crossed, gamblers existence can be threatened. To enjoy the gamble of gambling one must bet within a certain range. Gambling platform will be one of the cause of disaster for those who take gambling as a get rich scheme in short term. Winning and Losing A key feature of gambling that a gambler must develop the temperament to accept both wins and losses. Controlled gambling is enjoyably for every gambler.

It’s just that people have a lot of strategies to use but certainly, they don’t work in gambling. The only weapon that we should have for gambling is luck. Without it, you’ll never be good enough in gambling. That’s why we often heard that when someone hits the jackpot prize, a lot of people will make a compliment that he/he must be lucky enough. It’s always luck with some sort of skills that comes winning in gambling.

yes indeed this can be said to be a stupid strategy which in the end will still lose a few percent of each of my bets. but I have calculated everything and I also don't always place bets on every round. so my friends and I placed bets on several rounds.
so I still get a little profit even though it's risky. maybe I think you know the strategy I mean.

Well, in this condition, the strategy that was actually carried out was just being sure and suggesting, I think in this case because it's true, as you say, nothing can really have an effect because the main factor, of course, is luck.
But on the other hand, when talking about strategy for several game conditions, such as in a sportsbook, for example, it can still be done to minimize the results of defeat, even though luck is important, the strategy for not betting carelessly is also quite important here.

Gambling is literally dependent on luck, so even if you have the best strategies to use while gambling, that won’t give an assurance that you will actually win in the end. The casino operators have seen it coming, so they have already set plan for it. And to think that gambling always gives edge to the house, that’s why if you don’t have the luck to win, gambling experience will never be a profitable one.

There is a reason why gambling business is a very lucrative business.
No matter what strategy you will apply on regular casino games, you will likely end up losing.
They won't survive if they are not earning more than enough for themselves.
Most casino games are based on luck and coupled with house edge, you will be on the losing streak if you won't stop playing.
Poker and sportsbetting are just few gambling areas where skills and experience can help you on the winning side.

There are a lot of strategies out there but they are based on flawed concepts, most of the strategies we see being shared have to do with increasing or decreasing the size of your bet at specific intervals, but such a strategy does not change the expected value of the games and they are ineffective.

The only strategies which have any hope of working are the ones that change the EV, and this can only be done in a very small number of games, and even then there is no guarantee you will make any money with them.

Strong self-control can make a person avoid gambling addiction, but are there gamblers who are really capable of having strong self-control.
Not everyone can do it and most gamblers fail to exercise self-control.
Many people out there say that self-control is important. Self-control is the main aspect of a person when gambling, but I'm not sure those people can control themselves.
Even I, who often advises and provides an understanding of the importance of self-control, sometimes I still fall asleep and forget about my own self-control.
So it is difficult for anyone to avoid gambling addiction except for one thing, namely leaving gambling and never betting again.

I wouldn't say this is quite true, but there are few games where you can potentially get an edge. Theoretically there is enough room for arbitrage in sports betting if you are knowledgeable and able to distinguish where sportbooks have mispriced a bet. However you have to imagine that they are constantly refining their data analysis and may even potentially ban you from betting if you do have a long winning streak. I remember reading a while back about a fairly large scale (in the millions) Australian betting syndicate that was able to grind out a consistent profit every year, however they had a large scale that might offer some possibilities not available to individual gamblers. Poker is another game where your skill can put you ahead, however the house still wins there and you are just taking money from other players if you can.

There isn't really a general gambling strategy, but seasoned gamblers may have created their own unique one that occasionally works for them. I used to believe that these specific gambling strategies were created with the idea that their losses should be kept to a minimal. Because the house usually wins in the end. Gamblers lose if the house wins, but then they shouldn't lose a lot.

I agree. These strategies used by gamblers are not really an effective strategy to profit but more on minimizing their losses so they will not get busted early.

If you gamble and had a strategy in mind to use, it's not guaranteed that it will work as planned since gambling are mostly depending on luck and you have no control on it. Hence, it's just right to gamble with less expectation in to win so you won't have regrets that you spend your money in gambling, only to gain nothing.

Right, there are no working strategies for gambling. But people still chose to gamble more believing that their own strategies or styles are effective and would somehow attract luck and profits in the end. That’s the reason why gamblers lose more money than make and earn significant amount of profits. So if you are not cautious and disciplined enough, gambling will definitely used up all your hard-earned savings and put you into its worst situation.

It was fine if they thought that way because they would see how it would turn out sooner or later. Maybe after a few results, they will change their way of thinking but some still try it for a while because maybe they still think their strategy is not right.

I never thought much about gambling because what I did gambling was just for fun. After all, I knew that gambling would not make me rich and should be able to prevent losing too much money gambling. I had lost a lot of money gambling before, so I didn't want to lose any more.

There are two groups of people who gamble. Those who think they are having fun because the amount of money they gamble with is not worth crying over if they lose, and then there are the people who gamble their entire life savings away because they have the goal of making themselves millionaires by the end of the day. The first type usually have fun and see gambling as nothing but fun. The second type will be quite furious that you referred to gambling as something "fun" and demand you take it seriously.

I bet small amounts for fun. So I guess I am considered the first type of gambler.

Seasoned gambler, maybe sometimes gets some tips from casino people maybe. But then, due to their numerous experiences and lot of people that they already met they can gain strategies to each and everyone. But we all know that most of them are just enjoying to play and they are not really after the money, they just want to have a good time with their companions in casinos.

There are many different sports betting strategies. There are a number of similarities and differences, but the biggest similarity is that no system offers a guarantee of success. Waterproof systems do not exist. Martingale system is best known for Roulette, but you can also try this system at sports competitions. You could look at point betting in tennis, or perhaps the number of points scored in basketball. Then you just need a lot of patience, but here too you could theoretically lose each other 10x. MartinGale is therefore not good management.

When it comes to betting or gambling Strategies, I guess there is none that can offer you 100% guaranteed success. Think for a moment that there exist  a winning Strategy where one can always win. It will then be a nightmare for the gambling sites as everyone will be using that Strategy and printing unlimited money from gambling.

I would say that if you know how to save yourself from excessive gambling and how to control your emotions in gambling, then you are good to say that you are ready for the gambling and may not lose everything in gambling as other 95% of the gamblers lose.

But are you sure that there are gamblers who can save themselves from gambling and can control themselves over gambling to avoid losing more money.
I myself am not sure that there are gamblers who can avoid losing more money when playing or betting.
I myself often say that gamblers need self-control and keep their finances in order not to experience big losses but I still can't really apply it to myself.
I might be able to stop gambling and control myself over gambling but I can do this when I have no balance at all.
After all, gambling is a high-risk activity and anyone who is involved in gambling must be prepared for all the risks involved.

Not even casinos win 100% of the time so any gambler thinking they can do this will end up being disappointed and they will lose a massive amount of money, it is better that gamblers accept gambling for what it is, a nice way to pass some time and pay for the privilege of doing so.

Most attempts to try to go beyond this will be meet with failure, a failure those gamblers most likely cannot afford at all, as on their belief they can win all the time they will bet money they cannot afford to lose.

The Martingale strategy cannot be used to make consistent profits in gambling, let alone other strategy techniques, there is no guarantee that you can get big wins, it all goes back to how we control ourselves in gambling. Sometimes there is no point in using strategy in gambling, even though the martingale strategy is a strategy basic for beginners.

I have never tried martingale in sports betting except in casino and in crypto trading, it's true that martingale is not good management in casino betting or sports betting but useful in crypto trading this strategy I still use to trade crypto coins its full of bot pump and dump , back again to gamblers how they use the strategy itself it all depends on how to control themselves when gambling.

Strategies ain't effective in gambling nor it works because whether we like it or not, the only thing we ask for is luck in order to win otherwise, we lose. If we win today, it is possible we lose tomorrow or if we lose today, we only have very slim chances to win tomorrow. Meaning, we can't be reliant on any strategies that have been taught online or any of the gamblers other than being dependent on ourselves and luck. Other than that, I don't think it could help.

If you do have that kind of mindset on which you do believe that strategies does work then you would be definitely be thinking on pushing it until it would work but of course if you arent that lucky enough
then you would definitely be losing before you could be able to say that it is working when you are winning but if its not and you do lose big then you would say that it isnt really working at all.
This is its really that important that you should make yourself that aware on whats the real deal with strategies.They arent tools for you to make yourself that profitable with gambling
but rather these things are really that being used to make gambling session a bit more longer or having that duration which you could really enjoy.

To gamble and consider the spending in it is strategy. If you gamble all your money without checking out your balance because you are greedy with the money to win you are not doing good gambling but if you are careful to staking a little according to how much that you have and keep some for your tomorrow, that is a strategy. Addict have no strategy, they will gamble to chase for the lose they record in the account. Having discipline in gambling is a strategy.

That's true. Casinos are not winning 100% at all times because there are also players who wins. Meaning, there is truly a chance to win so a gambler must not give up and they shouldn't think negatively. Thinking negatively can attract negative outcomes too but if we think positively, we can expect that positive results can also come. If ever we lose, it's okay and it might be a good idea to take a rest.

What important there is we already played our favourite game on our favourite casino and our mood are boosted already. Time to move on now on other things. That is how gambling should be. Not that it makes us more depressed and feeling unmotivated throughout the day.

I think what you are saying is what we called discipline. If a person in any particular things didn't practice a self discipline it will going to reflect in his behavior, in his work and his life. We need to have a discipline when we doing gambling because if not it will only  make us more miserable and we will be a subject to addiction. I believe that there's no precise strategy for gambling, it is just a matter of luck, patience and discipline.

Making errors is human, always will be. Gamblers who have lost often go on tilt, then you are fed by emotions and there is no longer room for a rational thought process. A lot of people have already gone wrong on that basis. If you lose once you have to stick to your own strategy, otherwise things will end even worse. People often make bigger bets to recover losses incurred, but in practice that kind of thing almost backfires with all the problems and consequences afterwards.

Strategies can be applied in some certain games of gambling which does not entirely depend on luck.

Games such as slots who are completely dependent of luck do not kind any strategy at all since you just spin and pray that the results be favourable. But in some card games like poker, there are some certain strategies that you can employ in order to at least increase the chances of you winning in a given set.

For example, in poker, you can either bluff or employ some techniques in order to give you the advantage at the board. While it may not give you a guaranteed and absolute result, it at leasts increase the chances of you winning from time-to-time.

So in essence, in betting winning and losing is a cheap thing. For example, if someone doesn't want to experience defeat, it's best not to bet or gamble at all. talking about strategy in gambling, or can we say methods, techniques and all kinds of things. of course, really needed. regarding the OP's statement, I think everyone is entitled to express their opinion, even us. Gambling is a gamble that carries risks. therefore, we must anticipate it in various ways. no exception, with games based on luck. Next, let luck decide.

So, whatever one's claims or reasons are, everything has its own point of view and that is a right.
For me, i like betting on football, to win the bet, automatically i need skill, knowledge. besides that, the importance of insight. plus, intuition also helps a little sometimes. with all I said, into a complex part that we usually say analysis. also, requires foresight. we call it a method, you can also say technique, some say strategy. it all depends on the gamblers. why this is done, none other than to minimize defeat. also, that we don't gamble blindly. well, whatever the technique, method, strategy, everything always involves luck. and also keep in mind, that so far, no one has been able to formulate luck.

So, there is no other word, other than just enjoy every moment. if you lose, just end it. if we are in a winning session, remember not to be too greedy. because usually, the end result, the house wins.

True gambler? They persevere and stay positive even when bad luck strikes. Darkness breeds darkness. Gaming is fun and won't ruin our life. After a loss, rest and recover. Strong gambling mind? Important because ignoring it can harm mental health. Gambling is a little part of life. Other techniques to enhance ourselves and boost our emotions exist. Keep gaming in check. But deep!

Well, I’ve also known some gamblers who are making a living out from betting but it’s not like they are making consistent profits since other days also bring losses for them. So just imagine how they will provide for their family if they are not making profits that day. That is why gambling is never meant to be a source of living but rather a source of entertainment. As a gambler, profits do not just mean pure money, it may also mean you were satisfied with your gambling experience and that make you somehow profitable that day.

Martingale in sports betting? Hmm, I've personally never thought about it and now when I think of it, it might be useful since sports betting is not only luck-based but experience and knowledge play their role too. So if someone has great knowledge and many years of experience in a specific sport, they can try this strategy.

But it won't be easy, because choosing a team that you believe will win won't always give you the same odds, so if you have lost an earlier match where you had a bet of $100, now if you place a bet with 1.5 odds, you won't even cover the betting cost for both games. One will need to place the bet with the amount based on the odds in that case.

No one can vouch for you in gambling that you must win, including the odd source providers and many prediction sites that make promises of winning big on their odds, you take the risk of gambling and uses your money to bet and if lucky you win base on your efforts and strategies adopted, if you're good at gambling, then you have an increased chances for winning than we you always rely on others sources for help whenever you gamble.

Strategies may only be suited for investing and trading, but definitely it never works in gambling. I say this because all gamblers are not exempted from losing, as even experienced gamblers have also their own share of losses. Because if strategies certainly work in gambling, those who have been long time gamblers might have been very good on it and are already experts on how to avoid losses and maximize their profits. But that is not what happening in the real scenario, as the more you’ve been attached to gambling, the bigger amount of losses you might have been incurred.

Martingale will never work in a game of skill like sport betting, even if you had a legitimate strategy to pick winners, this is because of the nature of martingale, even professional sport bettors at most pick the winner 56% of the time, now this may not may seem as impressive as the claims of scammers which supposedly can pick the winner 90% of the time, but it is enough to make profits.

However if you used martingale and you increased the size of your bet thinking that at some point you are bound to win, you will find out that sooner or later you will lose more times than what your capital allows or you will hit the max bet limit imposed by casinos, so if you are one of the few profitable sport bettors out there then stay away from martingale as it will only make you to suffer huge losses.

We totally agree, if the so-called strategy, it is very suitable for the field of investment and trading. but that does not mean, the strategy cannot be applied in gambling. I mean, if gamblers don't have a strategy, method, technique, or whatever it's called, then we're gambling blindly. I understand what you mean, we are very aware that losing is part of the risk of gambling. in fact, even for investment and trading has its own risks. although, we cannot generalize it. Therefore, gamblers who have a lot of experience, or can we say veteran gamblers, I'm pretty sure, they have various ways, techniques, methods, strategies, or whatever you call it to minimize the rate of defeat. btw, we are talking about gambling in general and not just pure luck based gambling.

Well, if we talk about gambling that is based purely on luck, I agree with what you say. I would quote it, "because the more attached one is to gambling, the greater the possible amount of loss we incur". that's exactly right, if we relate to gambling that relies purely on luck. but unfortunately, your assumptions do not apply to some types of gambling. for example, sports, poker, or anything that involves knowledge, technique, knowledge, and experience. some people say skill, others say strategy.

But the important point is, gamble according to the standards of ability that we have. that way, we will only consider gambling nothing more than fun entertainment.

That's cool that they are using gambling to make a living but yes it is not sustainable, it is not always rainbows and butterflies no matter how good they are and how long they are playing still they will encounter losses and even a straight of losses. We should learn that our strategy may be useful sometimes but it is not consistent, algorithm will change everytime.

Well, we can say that we can control ourselves and say that you have to be patient or that you have to be in control, but it is difficult to control emotions, it is so difficult that many times, without being a matter of the game, an emotion can make you lower or raise your tension. blood pressure of a person and the first thing they are told is to control themselves, but how? how to do it? It is too difficult, it is possible, very possible and we are in a position to do it, but how? You have to work little by little and go on doing tests, that's how casinos also work when some players are in front of a game that the adrenaline has taken them.

The thing with gambling is it is a game of luck and no strategy would be useful for you to win more. You might think that you have that strategy since it so happens that it works out of luck in some of your games but in reality it is still a matter of luck to win and the strategy does not help at all to achieve so. I think what gamblers need as a strategy is about managing their own money that is allotted in gambling, If one really wants more profit, a gambler should really know when to stop since it is better to achieve self control over these so that at the end of the day you can minimize your losses and be able to have profit for yourself.

Yes, casino games work like they should equal the wins and losses, or worse they must always be on top. It's not just the algorithm but I believe there's also a record of how much you won and soon the system will take it back in any way possible.
I don't believe in any strategy that works unless you have deep pockets to get back to the game after a loss. There must be gamblers who really make a living out of this industry but as you said it is not a consistent profit unlike those who are working in a company. Anyway, as long as they are having fun with what they do, then I guess it will still be worth the time spent trying to win against the house.

Every gambler will have their own way of being able to control themselves so they are not controlled by emotions when gambling because emotions in playing gambling can make a person lose more money.
There is an easy way to be able to control yourself so you don't get carried away by emotions when playing gambling, namely by using really limited money and having positive activities such as homework.
When you experience the loss of that small amount of money, immediately leave the site and start doing homework activities so that your emotions can subside and forget a little about the defeat you got.

I'm sure everyone can do it if there is a strong will.

This makes sense, however this only works for those which are able to accept their losses, now this may seem to be easy but there are people out there that simply cannot do this, so when they lose money against the casino they feel indignant about it and they begin to chase their losses.

That is when a strategy like martingale comes to them and they figure out this will be enough for them to recover their money, and for a time martingale may seem like the perfect strategy to do this, as if you employ it you can recover your money more than 99.99% of the time, however once you finally lose your losses are going to be amplified many times over, creating a vicious circle from which people like that will find it very difficult to escape.

    -  Among the gamblers who believe that the gambling strategy to win is not true but their mentality believes that winning gambling depends only on luck, these are probably the gamblers who only want to have fun gambling.

But for gamblers who believe that this is a way to make money, for sure they think that it needs a strategy to get the jackpot or bonus in a casino here in cryptocurrency.

Gambling is a severe form of addiction, I used to think of gambling as a fun simple game but as time progressed gambling became more and more addictive to me. Now gambling has reached a point where I can't get out easily. Now Sportsbetting has become like a casual routine for me. Now I visit gambling sites at least once a day. I have faced more losses than profits yet I have not been able to get out of this fun intense addiction. But for those who involve themselves in all these addictive sites during their academic career, gambling should be called harmful rather than fun.

It's no exaggeration to say that losing money stinks. Nobody likes losing money, and nobody likes losing money in the dark, depressing abyss that is a casino. However, will we be able to accept the setback and recover without falling into the martingale's trap?

Well...perhaps? Listen, there is no silver bullet that will solve everyone's problems. Some people are able to brush off defeat and go on confidently, while others require additional motivation (martingale, anyone?).

To pursue losses with a martingale, however, is like trying to catch a slippery pig. You're bound to fall sometime, and when you do, it'll hurt. Finding your own rhythm, a way to recover without risking it all, may therefore be the real deal.

I admit that not all gamblers can do it and only a few of all gamblers can accept defeat and refrain from being controlled by emotions which can actually make a person chase defeat until in the end you just lose everything without any leftovers.
Yes, I know that the martingale strategy might be able to help restore gamblers' losses, but also this strategy can make gamblers suffer big losses and enter into a vicious circle where there is only emotion and excessive irritation, which has a negative effect a gambler.
However, there is no strategy that can guarantee victory and strategy is only a way that can be done to increase the chances of victory and bring good luck.

As a player when you already see that you cannot win immediately, the best thing is to stop the losses, and the only way to stop the losses is not to play anymore, I don't know any other way, and even if our adrenaline demands us to continue playing we must do everything the possible to dominate with reason but not with emotion, I know that the aspect that we feel that things did not turn out as they should cause some frustration for the loss, but it is better that way than having a greater frustration of losing everything, I prefer to lose only a part and not all my capital, because that is much sadder. 

I wouldn't call it a strategy, but I use that method all the time, whenever you are playing on a slot machine, when you start spinning, after a few spins, you will come to know if the machine is going to pay off or not, and that is the moment when you need to take the decision and stop right there, you should take a break and come back later.

It worked a lot of times for me, but I don't guarantee it would work for everyone. For me, when I see luck is not on my side, I know it's useless to just keep wasting money and I should try again later with the same money and I may get something out of it.

Perhaps, it's not a strategy, but it's a way to avoid bigger losses, and by stopping playing gambling, we have tried not to experience more losses. Usually, when we play slot games, after playing a few rounds (usually 100x or more), we will see how much balance we still have, and from there, we can decide how much money we have lost.

So by stopping that, we prevent the next loss, which will reduce our balance. It's better to stop first and continue gambling another time because we might be luckier than today. And maybe that can also be said as a strategy for playing gambling to avoid big losses.

That is the smartest way to play, with money that is quite available to lose, not money that I am willing to risk and is already committed, personally I have always made a part of my money available to play, and that Part of me forget that it exists, so it's much better because my brain doesn't get the idea that I should get that money back, but Rather that this money is taken just to play, so there is no Regret and it is Played with more ease and there is no danger of Addiction.

You need to be a bit more specific because gambling includes games like poker and anyone who has watched the masters playing on TV will tell you that there is certainly a learned talent that can be applied to it. There are people that make huge amounts, with regular appearances at these tournaments that include the best players in the world, who are able to walk away with a massive paycheck consistently. They will have mostly refined their skills through online play and grinding out a profit from others. That all comes under the umbrella of betting, but they simply play the long term odds combined with a knack they have acquired through practice for bluffing people or feeling out the cards others hold.

Much better if most of the gamblers are like that and have that approach towards gambling. Because for the most emotional gamblers, this is going to be another phase of their lives that they'll need to tackle seriously and who doesn't want to win? All of us do want it but then, if the reality ticks in and you understand that not everyone is gonna win everyday. Tough times and losing days could come to you anyday and much worse if it's a streak. The idea of chasing your losses is normal to everybody when we're losing but then, the acceptance of it is much appreciated if you're having a clean mindset just as what you've said. This will save you with a lot of emotional hit if ever the outcome is the worst.

We are emotional and we do feel up those things since we are just human beings. No one really likes on experiencing on losing money and this is why on the time that we would be experiencing losses then it would really just normal that instinct would kick in and we would really be minding on taking up more bets to possibly be able to get back those losses or at least breakeven and this what makes gambling industry boomed out
just because of this kind of wrong behavior of people or gamblers. We should really be that sensible in regarding of our actions on which gambling should really be for fun and not some for income making
on which this is usually a normal approach for those people who do gamble on where they've been even thinking about getting rich. Speaking about strategies then it would be a never ending kind of hunt
specially when dealing with luck-based games but for strategic ones then these things are really that considerable but on the otherhand it wont really be giving out assurance that you would
be succeeding anytime.

In some gambles, luck is another factor. I will agree with what you say, if what we refer to is casino gambling. like slots for example, and many other games. but in some other bets, you need insight, skills, knowledge, and all the references you have. for example, sports betting, or poker. however, let's discuss football betting. if you bet solely on luck without involving the knowledge you have about the bet, that means you are only betting with your luck, you will be faced with the ignorance of choosing which team has more probability of winning.

Well, if you say that there are no strategies, methods, techniques, which are useful in gambling. I will interpret your words as defeat, yes, because you only bet on luck without trying to minimize the possibility of defeat. in sports betting, especially football it will be very helpful. you will try to do research to choose which team is more ideal for your bet. if the scenario is not like that, it means you are gambling blindly. because, you only rely on luck as you said in this post.

Yes, gambling with money that is ready to lose because of will be better than using money that is ready to bet because the money that is ready to be risked is not necessarily acceptable when you lose and for sure you will chase victory to get the money back and in the end you will lose more money .
This is not a strategy but a wise bet, but unfortunately not all gamblers can accept the defeat they get so they become gamblers who have no self-control.
My advice is to always forget about the money you lost while gambling and stop, leaving the gambling site when your balance runs out, but remember that the balance is only in the amount you can accept in the event of a loss and limit each deposit.

The reason behind why gambling business is booming because of what you mentioned reasons, emotions forced gamblers to put more money
on their initial capital,

instead of just enjoying the games that emotions affect the decision making of a certain individual who is participating
to these activities, it's a really tough battle with you as both winning and losing your emotions always drive you to what you will do in your next
moves.


Different people have their own intentions before playing, but due to addictions, such control most of the time got dominated
by factors that are really hard to fight when your engagements are already deep.

No assurance to whatever the potential outcome, it's just more on luck and how you handle your game plan and try not to exceed.

That is why regardless if the gambler is making or losing money, as long as they get what they want: validation, continuous and addictive dopamine hits, excitement out of boredome, what they do will make them feel a win. They lack the necessary self-awareness. Afterall, that's what casinos are made for, to make them continue playing.

But if you are a gambler and want to find an edge over the house. You must have a system with rules. How much you will risk, when will you stop, when will you take breaks, when will you put less or more bets. That is the strategy, along with the skill of truly analyzin yourself, your emotion, and your psychology.

Outcomes are uncertain, so one must learn to bet on probabilities.

There is still an iota of strategy in gambling even though it doesn't guarantee 100% win. Gambling is more likely 30% strategy and 70% luck in which most of the luck has a minute percentage of strategy. Just that the house always wins but on rare occasion it is the reverse and why it is always like that is because of desperation and emotional involvements. Sometimes a gambler makes a massive win and feels it should continue that way then end up losing everything.

Very well said sir, very well said, the thing is careless gamblers are always the ones at risk of losing more, and unfortunately for the gambling community, we have more careless gamblers than the careful ones, but then, it is a fortunate thing for the casinos because they make their most monies from careless gamblers.
Careless gamblers are the ones who easily get addicted if not already addicted, that is gamblers who don't subject themselves to regular checks,  a careless gambler hardly know how much he or she spent on gambling in a period of 30 days, or let's just say, a week which is 7 days, and they can't also tell how much they won or lost in the same period of time, simply because, they aren't keeping record, they just gamble blindly not minding to know whether they are making a profit or loss.

It's not that new anymore to see gambler playing like that and lost everything he/she had after just having a massive payout. That is the main reason why there are still a lot of casinos surfacing now in any given city mainly the most improved ones and competing other establishments that offers the same games, etc.
These casinos are just taking advantage of the fact that there are a lot of people that will go towards them to play with a different variety of reasons, but those reasons doesn't matter to the owners as long as the people are playing and losing their funds, while some are going to the extremes just to get their goal even if they are already having the opposite thing.

Or, the gambling business is booming maybe because more people are getting greedy and wanting to get rich quickly or those who used to gamble at land-based casinos are now turning their faces to online casinos since using cryptocurrencies for deposits and withdrawals is way more convenient and easy for everyone to use.

Most people gamble only because they want to get a lot of money in a very short period of time. Only a very small percentage of gamblers actually gamble only to have some fun and pass their time because they have extra money to do so.

Yes, as long as we manage to cut losses, it is the most intelligent thing to do, especially in slots, because that is where the greatest danger of losing money is, it could be said that any game in casinos can make us lose money, that is something obvious, but keep in mind that now things are going another way, such as looking for quick wins, this is what makes many players leave or rush to win, in roulette it is also another option that in my personal opinion When I play roulette, well, if I'm looking to win, now a way that I've seen one of the greats like Drake play on Stake.com I think that motivates anyone, of course the amounts that Drake uses to play are stratospheric , I would like to be one day like him and his way of playing.

They should forget about looking for quick wins in gambling because that will be even more difficult than just wanting to win. We know that gambling games can give us quick defeats instead of winning games, but we're going to lose, but we just keep on playing. So whatever strategy we use, we must realize that we can still lose in gambling games, so we have to limit the amount of money. If not, we will regret it later because it will be difficult to recover from that loss, especially if we lose very much.

I don't have a lot of experience like other members of the forum, so I really take my hat off to them, I don't have a large balance willing to risk in a casino either, but I know that with an opco balance I can have fun and I don't deny it, sometimes I win , I take into consideration that I have lost more than I have won, but for me it is normal, because I know that those who win big, well, they bet big, in my case when I have big profits it is because I have really bet more than normal (I take risks) I rarely do it, but sometimes it is worth it, it is said that sometimes you have to take risks and there is the option of winning big or losing, but if we do not risk when we are going to win then ?

Well, we cannot do something about that as we are just humans meant to commit mistakes. What can we do is to make a safety precaution so that before we involve ourselves in a gambling activities, we already know what to do in some instances where emotions will lead us to an unknown road. At least even if we commit losses, which is very normal in a gambling world, we can also get the entertainment that we wanted as that is one of the reasons why we gamble except from the fact that we are also talking about money.

If undoubtedly things can look good when you have money willing to lose, not all things are given to win or only to lose, at some point you can win big, but as I have said all things are given so that at some point When the events we most want can take place, we all seek to win and sometimes that ambition is to be able to win, it is the one that comes to teach us a lesson about what we can do when we have a losing streak, and in addition to this we must not leave everything to chance , because the more losing streak our mind tells us is to keep betting and betting until we have a good profit, that is where the biggest mistake is and the key for a casino to survive, because it will always make us lose.

The system was designed for us to record streak losses in every bet, but if we use proficient gambling technique, our chances of loss are reduced to a medium. I'm always ready to hit hard in the system, especially when I'm confident in my predictions. Gambling strategies have really helped me in the space, I know countless times I would have been hit by heavy losses but my strategy saved the day, and sticking to it, not placing more than 4 good gambling bets a week, despite how profitable my game turns out, remembered losses, it's real and when it comes, it hits our portfolio very hard.

You are right that we as gamblers can only make mistakes and lose.
If you think about the strategy, then there is no single strategy that can give a 100% guarantee of winning, because the truth is that victory only belongs to the house edge and gamblers can win when luck is on their side.
Strategy cannot bring pure victory but at least by using the strategy correctly we can still minimize the number of bigger losses.

Not all gamblers want fun or entertainment because there are also many gamblers who aim for profit and in fact no gambler can really take advantage of the losses that have been obtained.

sticking to the commitments that you have previously planned is very good and even if you are able to always control your financial strategy it is much better in other words you have strong self-control not to be too greedy for the profits or losses you get.
in your way I really appreciate that you can firmly avoid addiction and can have fun at gambling even though sometimes you lose betting on the team you choose.

All gamblers consciously know that the dealer always wins for that. I always see that maybe out of 100% of people who play gambling in casinos, only about 0.1% will win there, I think 0.1% is 70% luck, you mean, I don't know. I sometimes don't really believe in casino games that seem like they're set up to win the bookie, but apart from that it's very possible to win in big casinos too.

Playing casino games is only limited to having fun and never betting for it seriously, just filling in the blanks when I'm betting on football sports betting while waiting for a football event to finish then I stop playing casino online. after all, 30% strategy will not make us win too. so playing casino is just looking for fun.  ;)

People will have to gamble either through relying on each other or independently, everyone has his own personal plan and interests in gambling, not everyone is after making money through this medium, the fun alone is worth making more than money to some because they already have the money, some gamblers have to depend on each other as well to enjoy gambling through the sharing of ideas together and this is the kind of lifestyle they have chosen with gambling, you can also discover that some actually rely on odds providers for their strategies, while some were their friends, just as the taste in gambling were different same we have gamblers of different categories.

A strategy cannot minimize the risks or prevent a gambler from bigger losses, but a strategy mostly makes a gambler have bigger losses, take martingale as an example. A gambler might not lose much if they keep their base bet intact and don't increase it, but if they go with martingale strategy and keep increasing the bet after every loss, they might end up losing all their capital in just 5 minutes or so if there is a long loss streak.

I say that because I have seen that happening to myself in the past, that is the reason why I don't recommend using strategies especially in chasing your losses because you might end up losing everything you have instead of recovering what has been lost.

slightly disagree with your statement that strategy cannot minimize risk or loss.
there are many types of strategies in gambling and you cannot think of martingale as the only strategy in gambling, but there are still strategies from the gambler himself to minimize losses or risks by controlling and committing without chasing defeat. well, I call this the gambler's strategy.

so there are still many ways to avoid losing too much at gambling, but it depends on how the strategy is to manage your money at gambling.

The only strategy in gambling is, the ability to gamble small, what you can afford, probably 2/3% of your bankroll, this is the most reasonable and diplomatic strategy.

That's why I say it, looking for quick wins is one of the most common mistakes of all players who join casinos, I don't blame them when I started betting I also had that belief, but it is one of the biggest myths that exist, I see it as a business playing in the casino, if the profit is small it is a profit, and the profit always adds up, so if I win a little in one day, I stay put, I don't do anything else, I already have profits and I don't start with ambition, if there is ambition, everything is lost, especially with the effort involved in having money to risk it in the casino.

Well in all this you always learn, we as casino players when we start we always want a lot of information, maybe that's why we are so active in the forum, because we look for very detailed and good information, fortunately there are Players who always have the money, time and the ability to play and they discover some strategies and tell them here to see if we learn a little more, so when I place bets in the casino they are always very low, Firstly to have fun and enjoy the game and secondly if I win little , well I don't care, something is something , worse is nothing, one must be satisfied with what one has and keep looking for more and more, but I think that what matters here is to be patient, and always be somewhat afraid or careful of money , so as not to lose All.

Your experienced dictates that the strategy didn't work for you, but who or how many gamblers can tell the difference? How many
can say that they use it and they manage to quit with good results.?

Strategy is something that gambler thinks they can use to have an advantage, but not all can make it work, as most of the time it's just
leading you to lose more money. With a high hope that it will work, you will keep adding more to your capital while waiting for it to favor you.

We have learned a lot from gambling, and after all, those who think they can get quick wins from gambling should be able to forget about it because it does not guarantee they will. They can lose quickly, especially if they can't control the bet amount. It will only speed up losing money at the gambling table. And many people are ambitious to get fast money from gambling, but it doesn't work. If there is ambition, it will only lead to losing big money in gambling.

They could make a strategy when playing, but that's only temporary because the casino won't let them always win. Casinos will surely try to hold back their steps to get the biggest profit, and we have seen it happen to us where we have often experienced that defeat. For this reason, we shouldn't be overly confident that we can beat the casino with many strategies because, ultimately, the casino will get big profits.

The thing about quick wins is something that influences if and only if when we have little balance or money to bet, because a person who has a lot of money invested in a casino, let's suppose $100k, is very easy to bet on with one shot or any game that bet 100usd can take you to 200usd, because your balance helps you, it is obvious that something like this can be done, it is not the same as having a 100usd net balance and wanting to quickly take it to 200usd, it is almost impossible, and the same thing happens in trading, only that in trading the total responsibility for what happens is ours, luck and other factors influence the casino, but you should never look for quick and high-amount profits.

Every gambler tries to use different strategies to win in gambling. But in reality this strategy is not always effective. Sometimes there are wins in the use of strategies, but there are also many defeats. Since gambling depends on luck, there is no possibility of getting good results depending entirely on strategy. But those who follow some basic things in gambling will be able to gamble for a long time. Should not pursue after a win or loss. The main motive should not be to win or gain more profit from gambling but to enjoy the real pleasure of gambling.

I don't really agree with your statement. It's true that gambling is all about luck, if our luck is good we win, otherwise we lose, it's that simple. But that's not entirely the case, because gambling also requires strategy, especially with regard to poker, soccer matches, and several other games. It also requires strategy and analysis, because many people have done something like this and they have succeeded in getting their profit. You can also search for some references on Google about strategies in gambling, there are many references that you can find about how to implement strategies in a game. So gambling also requires a strategy to win.

Nothing to strategize in gambling unlike trading where a trader is expected to have a working trading strategy, however in gambling analysis of pre matches especially soccer is well encouraged, however that doesn't guaranteed an outright win because it is a game of luck and an upset is bound to happen that is why there isn't consistent winning in gambling, personally If I luckily win massively in gambling I ultimately quit to avoid losing back my funds I am still trying my luck having known or read stories of how some gamblers who won huge amount of money due to greediness lost their fortunes in their bid to win more money in gambling.

Indeed, the promise of instant gains and massive rewards have drawn many into the gambling arena. While this notion is widespread, it's fundamentally misguided. It's laudable that you debunk this myth and espouse a measured strategy. Yet, even with caution, remember each bet, however small, pads the casino's pocket due to the sure-fire house edge. No strategy can ultimately beat this mathematical guarantee.

Moreover, portraying gambling as a business is questionable. True businesses create value, but gambling is a zero-sum play. In the end, the house, with its mathematical upper hand, triumphs. Therefore, see gambling for what it is - paid fun, not a steady money-maker.

Nope, You are treating sports bet as luck based game only like slots, dice and other gambling games that winning probability is decided randomly. Sport betting can be analyze and predicted the outcome with a good understanding on the sports that you are betting. This is almost same with trading in terms with analysis because you will just need to analyze data from previous matches and comparison of players stats to come up with a better strategy for your pick.

There’s no guarantee profit even on trading just like gambling. Everything that involves risking money to earn needs luck in able to succeed.

Everything in the space operates according to a strategy, and gaming encompasses complicated actions that are both unpleasant and rewarding for gamblers. I'm playing it safe in order to avoid huge losses; there are certain losses that will result in liquidating accounts, slowing the rate at which I gamble, and focusing my energy on other areas. Gambling does not operate well with strategy; rather, it moves in the route that produces profits while also recording losses. Its predictions are never 100% accurate; rather, it guides some gains, but not all, constantly expecting to seize the little money I've found in the system.

Yes, in gambling and sports betting strategy makes sense but none of the strategies can guarantee a win. In my opinion correctly chosen strategy can increase the time of the game session and even increase the probability of winning, but luck plays a major role, so if you are unlucky, no matter what strategy you have chosen you will still lose. Don't chase the winnings and then you will enjoy gambling.

Trading and gambling is totally different but we know that there are indeed gambling games on which strategies could really be something that could be applied and this is where there's a notable difference
in between compared into those pure luck based games which is something that most people been really be seeing this to be more fun. Basing up on the demand then we arent that blind on not to
see the interest that we do have in gambling space or industry. The never ending seeking up of strategy is what causes gamblers do continue to persevere on playing gambling on which they would really be having mainly in mind that you would really be trying out to push your limits on testing out those strategies and make it work or having that in mind that it is really giving out that kind of advantage which is something
that a very common approach on things by most gamblers.

I agree that in gambling anything will not guarantee a win but the strategy can help the gambler to increase the chance of winning, if not increase the chance to avoid losses.  The unsure result even with a strategy is due to the randomness of the gambling but eventually, a gambler can have an advantage if he had learned of a strategy that enables him to reduce his losses every bet since he can play longer and have more chance to trigger a win.


It is an obvious that if one use the correct strategy, it is more likely that he will win.  It won't be called a correct strategy if a player losses.

Indeed. House always wins, no matter how many strategies we employ. Even in skill-based games like sports betting, luck plays a significant role, but your last sentence does not sound like me. I'm only playing for the profit, and I'll only have fun if I win. There is nothing else.

House always have its edge, of not what for is the gambling platform sites were run. Through some means there needs to be revenue, and this is assured with the house edge. With gambling we should have our limits and we should know the proper exit. This will help in staying without much of loss. As said in all means the gambling activity is much dependent on luck unlike the skills. So to be successful out of gambling you need to be skilled as well as lucky. Strategies never assure of the winning.

We need an ultimate gambling plan to guide us into being a lucrative gambler, even if it feels dreadful to be on the winning team, because it is the only evidence that gambling is solid and advantageous. Desperation is another reason people become victims or addicts to gambling. In my opinion, I would not be considered convinced to gamble solely because of the substantial earnings I've made in the past; rather, I adhere to my strategy and patiently wait for it to yield profits for me. It's called implementing the disciplinary principles into action, which means constantly being willing to take measured risks for significant monetary incentives, rather than the other way around.

Wrong. There is strategy in gambling and everyone can have their own if they are inclined to do so but the thing is, there are no strategies that actually gives guarantees as we don't really know what will be the exact outcome as we only have speculations about its likelihood and never the exact result. In the end, we really on luck and confidence alone as that two factors combined will increase your chances in winning.

Honestly, I have no idea what kind of strategy can be used when you are gambling in a casino. Is there really? Because the only thing I think about when I gamble is unless there is no one else, now even if I win, the rewards I get are not that big, I think it's just like a bonus. Because the only important thing for me is to reduce or disappear my boredom and to entertain myself and this gambling is what I am thinking of doing in this matter that I am facing.

when I started in the world of gambling, I had adopted some strategies that went wrong, in the beginning I only chose the teams that had odds of @1.50 and that were big teams playing against small teams. but even so I lost, then I changed my strategy, I started watching the games live and made bets on the moment that the favorite team scored a goal, so I bet on that favorite team that scored a goal, but even so I lost, until later I changed strategy and started to make multibet bets, but after some losing bets I also changed my strategy

this time I started making live bets but they were multibet bets, but again after several losing games I changed my strategy and started making single bets again. and I still keep losing money, until I realized that gambling is something that should be seen as fun, nothing more. the moment the person loses all his bankroll, puts in more money, and loses all bankroll, and starts a cycle of putting money back in the bankroll and losing without giving breaks, that person is already dependent on games of chance and is addicted to games of chance. bad luck, that person needs help and treatment

even if you feel you know the sports well, there is no guarantee that your bets will win because of some blind spots that we can't see. but the more you are familiar with the sports, with the athletes involved, the better chance of winning your bets. however, luck sometimes is the key factor in winning. you'll never know what kind of performance will the team bring to the table.
and with your experience, even if you say you alter your strategies, still you can't guarantee that it will change the results. so yeah, just treat gambling as a side entertainment and not really a source of income. because getting screwed is high on this habit rather than going home as a winner.

People are probably confused by the term "strategy" since it's used in a rather convoluted(or confusing) way. Said strategy doesn't involve the game mechanics directly, no matter what the odds of a 50/50 dice game would always be 50/50. What people consider as strategy in gambling us bankroll management as well as patterns.

Bankroll management is, well, being knowledgeable enough about how you spend money naturally. Patterns on the other hand, is like how people want to use martingale. Honestly, it's just a pattern that has a name, simple as that. So to say there's no strategy in gambling isn't exactly wrong imo.

Yes, even how good you think you are and how accurate you think your pick can be, the ratio of winning still depends on the outcome
of the game and no one can accurately predict while it's still in-play.

I go with taking gambling as a source of enjoyment and use it to kill some time, instead of thinking of it as your cash-cow.

There's nothing like that. Unless you are the house and you manage to establish your business, then you can make decent
amount of money from your gambling activity.

Indeed, your conception of "strategy" in the betting world is grounded and illuminating. Often, it's vaguely used, leaning towards self-regulation and betting trends rather than direct game-altering stratagems.

Bankroll management isn't strictly a strategy but a loss-minimizing tool. It demands self-discipline, a scarce commodity in high-stakes moments. It's less about boosting winning chances and more about extending gameplay, enhancing joy.

Likewise, betting patterns, like the Martingale, don't alter game odds. They are methodical staking methods that exploit statistical odds to offset losses, a gambler's way to feign control in an inherently uncertain scenario.

Hello libert19 ,

Your perspective on gambling is a breath of fresh air in an often misunderstood field. You're absolutely right that the money spent on gambling should be viewed as an entertainment expense, not as an investment. This is the kind of responsible gaming ethos we stand for at Chipstars.

However, I would add that while gambling is certainly influenced heavily by chance, there can be an element of strategy involved, particularly in games like poker where understanding probability, player behavior, and making informed decisions can influence the outcome. Of course, the 'house edge' will always exist in casino games, but the way one approaches their play can enhance their overall gaming experience.

At Chipstars, we believe in a balanced view of gambling:

1. Entertainment: Like you, we view gambling as a form of recreation. At Chipstars, we provide a wide variety of games that are designed to entertain and bring joy to our players.

2. Safe Environment: We're committed to providing a secure, transparent platform where players can enjoy their games with peace of mind.

3. Responsible Gambling: We provide tools and resources to help our players gamble responsibly. From setting self-limits to accessing professional help, we stand by our players in promoting healthy gaming habits.

4. Learning and Strategy: While much of gambling is indeed left to chance, we also foster a community where players can learn, share strategies, and improve their game. After all, part of the fun is in mastering the nuances of the games we love.

No question about that, house always has the upper hand and only luck can give you that chance to earn from the house,
I like your last statement, without money to win, the fun can't be felt.

Though maybe it's an opinion based, but if taking it in reality, without any winning amount, the enjoyment is not complete, maybe you
can say that you fulfil your lust of playing, but the actual enjoyment that's not being completed, in my personal insight.

Even professional gamblers have no concept of the different outcomes of a game, constantly hoping for the best direction, particularly if the game goes according to their projected outcomes. We should be able to accept both negative and positive outcomes from gambling. Losses and earnings are documented daily, and the objective is not to eradicate losses because they are introduced, but rather to ensure that profits exceed losses. In gambling, strategy is irrelevant; the ideal alternative is to accumulate significant odds, and luck will follow.

I think there is no strategy that can lead you to victory except luck. However someone makes all the preparations, in the end, it will not really affect the winning percentage. In my opinion, there is only one thing that can help someone not to be too exaggerated when it comes to gambling, namely the factor of self-control, having a loss limit and not being greedy when you win. But sometimes this method can also fail, especially for those who are already in the addiction phase because it is difficult for someone who has experienced addiction to exercise certain boundaries when gambling, especially when experiencing defeat.

I also think the same, for me things are not like before , some players say that the strategies are useless , but I am one of those who think that the game strategies are as important as possible , first of all not to leave all the time with the same strategy and secondly because at some point a strategy that is applied may work , it may be that it works for one person , but not for us, or that it works for us but not for another , it all depends on the possibilities, things Sometimes they are seen from different points of view, personally I think that what should be taken into consideration here is that when playing , what should be taken into account Before doing so is how much money you are Willing to lose , because sometimes There are no limits to win , Worse if you have to cut the Losses.

There is definitely strategy involved with some forms of gambling, but many people get confused or overestimate their abilities to judge odds in the right way. If you're in a game like poker it's possible to make educated guesses at whether you are the current winner of the hand or if you have absolutely nothing going in your favor. If you are into sports betting and have a very sophisticated setup you might even be able to calculate, over a long enough time period, ways that you can pick better winning outcomes than the bookmakers - with a hell of a lot of statistical analysis to confirm the outcomes. Even blackjack has the usually legal card counting method which can win, but is hard to pull off and will tend to get you barred from casinos.

If you look at gambling in terms of mathematical analysis and probability theory, it is clear that in the long run you will be at a loss compared to the casino. The right strategy helps to minimize this loss, or even stay in the black. But it's likely to be important not only the strategy, but also the amount of luck, because we all know that luck in gambling is very important.

As long there's house edge then we would really be losing in the long run and this is one is inevitable unless if there's that no house edge which giving out that 50-50% chance of winning but we know that this is

business on which it would be normal that they would be setting out those % for them to make revenue which it is really that a normal approach.There might be some time that they would be offering zero house edge but this would really be just promotional and this might look interesting but doesnt mean that it would really be still assuring that you would really be successful or making profits with gambling.Chances on reaching out would be still in half percentage which it would really be a normal approach. Gambling is really that truly talks about luck and its not something that you could really rely your life or living with it.

Its for entertainment and its normal to have an approach on having some strategies to make use but dont put up into your mind that these are ways on taking advantage but rather these are just prolonging your
gambling session and not on having advantage.

A strategy needs to give the long winning. When we lack this, we can conclude that the strategy isn't effective. As stated no strategy assure with the long winning, for some time period we were able to enjoy the goodness through some tricks and break. End of the day everything goes into the hands of the casino. This is the reality, some have the wise plan to withdraw whenever there is a better winning. In all way the strategy won't be effective if the gambler doesn't have luck, so being lucky is important than the strategy developed.

But under the term gambling, there are different games and not all of them are the same to sports betting so you should be more specific. The only way to get a guaranteed win in gambling is through cheating and match-fixing. There is no need to apply your existing strategy here if you are planning on doing them but you should only be careful because both are risky and can still end you up with a zero win once you get busted out.

Worse is, you are going to pay more. I like the idea of our playing time being extended. When I lose, I said to my self that; at least I have a good time playing the game. That is close to the goodness of winning and then stopping immediately.

In gambling, all gamblers have assumptions and the way they evaluate gambling itself. some people believe, that there is no strategy in gambling. some others think, that pure gambling is a matter of luck, some others like you and me have the same conceptual thinking. it's just that, I'd rather say method than strategy. in essence, everything is legal and there is nothing wrong in their respective judgments about gambling.

Well, referring to what you said. we agree, many people are confused or overestimate their ability to judge opportunities the right way. even in the game of poker, there is such a thing as a technique. technique in the game of poker, can be considered a strategy and there is nothing wrong with that. which in essence, every poker player has a way to beat his opponents.
For BlackJack, there is a card counting method called. and to be honest, I don't understand this method at all. because, I don't really like to play this type of game, maybe it's just for fun.
For sports, it is clear that to bet in this gamble. a gambler, at least must have the basics of knowledge of the sport itself. because to minimize defeat, we will involve many factors. I tend to call it a method, and it involves a lot of things. There are at least three points that must be known and possessed by gamblers who like this type of sports betting namely, knowledge, broad insight and experience.

Well, the point is whatever the community says in this discussion, there is no real justification. we have various assumptions, depending on how we describe gambling itself.

This is why it would really be ideal that it should really be something specific and not really just mentioning on things generally because we know that there is a different variation or types of gambling games which strategies could be applied and not which we could really be able to make out some comments in between those things considering that strategies could really be that relevant when we do sports betting and
poker and not into those luck based games that we do know like slots and other similar type of games on which strategies cant really be applied.

We know that gambling is risky despite on having that kind of application of strategy but still it wont really be giving out assurance that you would really be able to surely win a certain game.
This is what pushes gamblers to play even more on where they are really that tending to push up their limits and really hoping on hitting on something on which its never
been that a good idea to have in mind because desperate actions would lead into disaster.

The truth remains that there's no perfect strategy for gambling but people with wider knowledge about a particular gambling site tends to have higher possibility of winning and that's why some people think gambling can be mastered by learning so much about it.
There's no specification about the best ways to play gambling and win so I don't think there's a perfect strategy for gambling

stop saying that gambling only relies on luck ^{(you play carelessly without having rules for your own gambling activities)}

if you see lucky people winning a number of jackpots in slot games, they use various strategies such as martingale, anti-martingale or other strategies that can make them get the maximum results, of course while paying attention to the capital they have.  only 0.1% of idiots who play gambling without a strategy win big money, it's almost impossible, the majority must use a strategy to continue to make a profit when they play slots.

That's the truth in gambling, all can be done with strategy but not all of them are going to make you win at most times. You can win a lot for the rarest moments and bets of your life but you'll have to deal with the majority of the losses that you can make.

As long as a strategy that works for you where you think that it's going to give you more wins than losses, you stick to that and just repeat the process unless you notice that there's a drop of percentage rate of winning, you change again or you don't follow any strategy anymore.

Yeah, it's always about sugarcoating people with what they can become, we all know that at some point when we were newbies,  I at least fell in love with a lot of the things that some casinos offered, for example, sign-up bonuses, in the contest bonuses, the bonuses that were offered for anything, all this, many of the players fell, so it cannot be denied that many still like these Strategies because they keep falling , and this is not something new , it is something you always see on the Roads of the casinos.

I always like to make a lot of emphasis on the bonuses, here I have seen in the forum that there are many bonus hunters, and they don't care, if it's free they take it, and it's something impressive because people normally always go there to get benefits from the bonuses because of impatience, in fact I am one of them because it is something that is desperate , Especially when there is money involved , I really go for the bonuses wow if that does not go with me.
