Gambling is based on luck for real but that doesn't mean you should be dividing your attention into poker, soccer, horse racing, or roulette all at once, you need to choose a side and learn everything you can about the game. This is the mistake that many gamblers are making, they believe since it's all about luck they should expand the possibility to get lucky and it always end up badly for them.

It's no doubt that Poker for example is all about been cunning, logical and deception to gain power over your opponent, it's called upper advantage, this is way different from games like Blackjack, roulette or Slots.

So imagine doing all these together, most gambling games needs your understanding of the odds and taking them into account, especially when wagering, so how can a gambler get involved in all games at once just to increase their chances of getting lucky? Stop this as it's not a strategy to win, it's a strategy to lose.

The only game I do not know how to play among the ones that you mentioned is poker and it is the only one that I can not go for. I can go for the rest and other games. There is nothing hard about those games and everything are luck. But I prefer casino games than sport that have low odd to casino games.

I am not a fan of most of the games you mentioned here and I even find it very difficulty to cope with those games except sport betting, at least I have been giving my attention to that area and I can easily know how it works and the little tricks behind them, although not that I frequently win but I can bear it in mind that my winning are luck based one. So what you said is actually right most people don't know where to channel their skills or attention rather being diversifying in most of the games to see whether they could hit winning one day as they said gambling is a game of luck.

Perhaps some people haven't matured enough to realize this, and they might still be in the phase of exploration, searching for their niche and the gambling game they enjoy the most. I believe that once they discover a game that piques their interest and offers rewards, that's when they'll dedicate their time to mastering the finer aspects of games like blackjack, poker, or sports betting.

Just as with acquiring any other skill, one needs to explore, find what sparks their interest, and then work on becoming proficient at it.

I don't know how you came to the conclusion that gambling is all about luck. I don't seem to agree with this because luck cannot take the place of risk management, skill and others. Luck is just a factor but not all there is to gambling. If you a strategy, you can actually make good winnings and you don't necessarily have to rely on luck to win. There is no logic that can explain that the multimillion dollar gambling industry is entirely governed by luck.

Playing poker and intentionally losing is one thing. Playing any other game and intentionally losing does not really get you anywhere. Yes you can say that you are playing and you are putting the odds in your favor by losing intentionally...but that is just a fallacy. In rare circumstances will this actually help you, it's nothing but belief. Even in poker, faking your skill level by losing will only get you so far and the facade can only be kept up for so long before smarter players realize what you are doing.

Every gambler has their own views so I still respect your perspective on poker. I like the game of poker, especially having great opponents. Playing at one table is very fun. Talking about winning and losing strategies depends on the person's goal of gambling, whether it's for money. or just looking for entertainment and having fun.

I personally always enjoy any game but sometimes more in sports betting although sometimes I play some casino games and poker but it's all to fill my free time waiting for the sporting event in question, so I think we all have different views on that, I gambling doesn't think about making a strategy to win, gambling is just for entertainment, winning is a bonus for me  ;)

The multimillion dollar gambling industry are growing all because they make money from people than people make money from them. Games played are in a way the gambling industries are favoured than gamblers. There are some strategies that can be used to gamble, but that does not mean gambling is not still about luck. Because you have risk management, that does not mean the little amount of money used to gamble is not luck if you win.

Most people know that and there are quite a few winners in poker that when they want to take a break they get into slot machines for example and they learn the hard way that is much different than playing poker as most of the times you lose money in these type of games.There are also people who are great at sport betting but that are also greedy as greediness is in our human nature and they get to play other luck games like roulette or dice when they want to "take a break" from sport betting.If you are involved in gambling no matter which strategy you use in the end you will be on the losing side.

Well, if it's casino-based games like Keno, Plinko, Dice, and Limbo, there's no such thing as strategy there. But, when it comes to poker we must think twice about it. There are a lot of professionals in this gambling game and they are not fooling around, they are good at what they do and they study it very well to analyze every possible situation they will bump into.
It requires strategy, knowing the game, reading your opponent, and loads of experience to be a pro in that game. And yes I believe jumping from one game to another without knowledge about it is suicide, we are just giving away our money without even thinking ahead.
Sports betting has the same concept, without knowledge about the game we are like blind men betting for a team or a player that we know nothing about.

If a gambler has enough free time and money, then why shouldn’t he play everything? It seems to me that the mathematical chances will be the same even if he plays dice for 10 hours or different gambling games every hour (it is clear that the casino advantage is slightly different everywhere, but the general meaning does not change) for 10 hours.
The most important thing is to have fun, there is no winning strategy (even in poker).

All the gambling games except poker and sports betting are just based on luck. I believe playing different games will not gonna affect win/lose percentage of a person since the result of each bet on different games is independent to each other.

I think the only repercussions on playing multiple games is that the players mind might not be properly manage bankroll since he has different games to think but if the player can play one at time these games then I don’t see any difference playing one game alone or differently games but one at a time since all of them is just based on luck.

If you're looking to derive pleasure from gambling, you can rely on luck. However, if your goal is to earn money, then you should treat it as a job. There are numerous games to choose from, but for serious gamblers, it's essential to narrow their focus to a select few that fall into the category of skill-based games. Poker, for instance, is an excellent choice in this regard. When you're committed to making money through gambling, the pressure can be high, but the potential for success is real. In contrast to gambling purely for enjoyment, where winning is a bonus, here you're aiming to achieve specific financial goals.

It is true that we cannot be good at every games but we can increases the chances of how we know about them if we are the regular type of gambler, we have to understand that gambling is for having fun, not for making money, if we are well aware of these, we could see it of more fun having varieties of games to try and play while gambling just to make fun wether we are winning or loosing, if we are to maintain a single game type as well, that is not a guarantee that we are going to always have winning experience without loosing as well.

You know there is a saying that goes "Jack of all trades, master of none." This phrase summarizes everything about your post. You can't be a gambler you will want to master everything and expect to win something reasonable, most likely you will not win anything because you will only be chasing after a win while a loss will be chasing you back to back, there is no reason to master all gambling games except if you are doing that to increase casinos revenue daily, weekly and monthly.

All my life has always been Basketball and football, the reason is that bookies have the right information I need to use to predict out of next matches, but I'm always mindful of the sportsbooks I use because of the lower line, that's very important one as bookies use that to spread their target for players to lose their stakes. So, anytime I played, If the week is full of weak matches, I do only Football and when there is too much loss, I picked the few ones from Football and add reasonable Basket balls to increase the odd a little bit but I do my assignment before the inclusion of Basket ball matches.

This is another statement that seem plausible but not entirely balanced. If gambling industry make so much money while their clients continue to loose so much, then there will be a void, an imbalance that will shrink the system.

What I consider as a factor that is fueling the growth of the industry is that while the companies are making money, many people are also winning as winning gamble now is easier than it was before... all thanks to increased options. Before now, there was no option to be on 10 minutes, 5 minutes and even 15 minutes option. There was no bet on the player to score, corner, handicap and many others. So, introduction of more options now male it easier for people to win more and that is how the business is sustained.

Without more winners, there will be no new and increasing customers.  

There's no strategy to win, the so-called "strategy" is only useful for allocating bets / minimizing risk so that your balance can last longer. For partially skill games, however, sure you can learn to get better to increase your winning chance. But your skill can only affect those odds to a certain degree since luck is also involved, so it might not be worth it to become a poker/sportsbets expert compared to other jobs since it requires a lot of work.

So since gambling is only a form of entertainment, don't bother diving too deep into the making money realm. Just play whatever games you love with basic knowledge about the mechanics and bet allocation, except you love crunching numbers and stats, counting cards, etc.

I only did it a couple of times and its not good multi tasking when it comes to gambling, its not profitable and its not even exciting if you're playing poker then play poker if dice then dice enjoy the moment in every game, gamblers who do this are trying to make money from the games he is playing, and this is not good when you're doing something you should have your undivided attention to enjoy the experience and come out with a better choice.

Multi tasking will not work on gambling in fact when playing you should take it as easy as possible to enjoy every moment you're playing, casinos whether online or offline are entertainment platform and you will not enjoy the game if you have an divided attention, it should be undivided.

If a person wants to become a gambling expert, say at poker, he must learn more about the game of poker. During the learning process, he must also practice what he has learned to know which parts must be improved or developed. But some people can learn many things at once and can do it. But to win a gambling game may require other things, including luck.

And maybe it's better to learn one type of gambling game until you really master it than to learn many gambling games. Perhaps that will confuse you about what to learn first, and if that happens, you won't focus on the game but will want to win as many games as possible.

Why in the hell someone will play poker if he doesn't know how to play in the first place? it's not a problem for newbie only play for few matches in order to know what's poker etc, but I don't think someone will keep playing poker when he doesn't know anything about poker.

Most people will play in a game that they understand and good into it, playing in a game that you understand will make you feel fun because there's a hype or something like that.

I've never played so many games at once. I will focus on one game before I get bored and move on to another game. In my opinion, playing all games is not a good choice, it doesn't increase your chances of winning but increases your losses because we don't focus on analyzing and tend to only place bets.

If I play at a sportsbook, I bet on at most three matches at once but I rarely do that, I prefer to bet on one match with a fairly large bet rather than splitting the betting money across three matches.

We can divide this into two major types.

1. Luck based game and 2.Skill based game.

Roulette, dice, slots, and every similar game purely rely on luck and we don't have anything to do with the results of such games so just having a basic understanding of how the game works is enough to gamble and since it completely relies on luck factor then you can't have any expectations at all while betting on them, if it works then its good and if not then you can't do anything.

Whereas in poker the skill comes into play, especially the skills of beating your opponents with what you have by making them that you have better hands where you can work on generally its natural talent and we may see the phrase pokerface.

Lol, I haven't seen any person who gambles on multiple games at once. Besides that what's the point in doing that anyway.
You won't be able to focus on any one game. Playing games one by one is a far better thing to do.
At least we get a satisfaction of actually playing the game and having fun.

Luck is not always a winning factor but a predetermined strategy and risk involved to play a game. Before  one engages in a game, one must have done their analysis put together with experience to play a game. All the listed sports here does not really  express luck factor but of ones calculated techniques implored in the course of gaming. If not why is that on is not allowed to gamble on a game for and against with a particular account? because the casino too knows how the system works for them as well.

To achieve success, you need to choose one direction, because if you try to play in all types of gambling at once, you will have no use anywhere.

If you base your bets on luck, then you should at least choose events that have two outcomes, like tennis, or perhaps totals in sports games. But I don’t like it when a bet is made on guesswork (luck), because I am convinced that in this case, losing the game deposit is only a matter of time. You need to choose one direction and try to become an expert in it, only then will you have a chance to achieve a good result.

Reading this, I am just smiling because it is clear to me that there are some people in the forum who are thinking in the same way like I am as I have talked about this and even raised a topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5468209.msg62906148#msg62906148) where I mentioned some reasons gamblers should learn to focus gambling on one or just very few games, not playing too many games at once because of how much it will not only reduce chance of winning but require a lot more money for gambling, leaving you to be wrecked faster.

The way you proposed it, it doesn't work like that, at least for me, in fact if you know how to do things well, when one of those ways doesn't work another if, for example, in sports betting, you get a profit +$x,  it's compensates for a loss of traditional casino games '-$x'.

Your approach is not necessarily the right idea, in fact for many, like me, diversifying my bets works very well.

Now, what you should do is at least be a specialist in one of them, in my case the one that dominated the most is poker, then sports betting and then any other bet in whatever.  8)

Not all games are based in luck so we need to understand the kind of bet we are going for so we can understand how we are going to be making profits and what will really works for us. Some games are majorly for strategy and if we don't have a relaxing and profitable strategy, we might not understand how to make profits from the game we are betting on. Games like soccer and others can be mostly base on strategy because we need to understand the weakness of a team and what we think about the opponent if they can really win a particular match.

You're right that you should not be splitting your attention, but you're wrong in thinking that people will long term be winners on things like soccer or horse racing - at least without taking advantage of certain bonuses on offer. Poker can genuinely be profitable if you are very skilled, play consistently and constantly adapt to your opponent's tactics. This can be a very draining experience for some people and it may not be able to keep up over a long session. However other sports betting like horse racing or even soccer bets are much less successful for the average gambler, primarily because the gambling sites do a lot of fairly accurate data mining to produce their odds and also add a margin of error buffer on top, so those placing a bet are at a heavy disadvantage.

Totally just that a common sense but it isnt really that bad to deal up yourself with multiple gambling games as long you dont really chase up for profits. Gambling should really be that something entertaining and not that stressful but having this kind of multiple selection does really that shows that you are really that trying to hook up yourself on trying to make more money or profits but we know that gambling isnt really something like this. You are really that removing the real essence of gambling which it should really be that entertaining and enjoyable but showing off with this kind of behavior then it do really shows that you are really just that simply being that greedy.Its true that it would really be that ideal that you should really be sticking on a  single game on which you could really
make yourself that being expert with it and having that good chance on making yourself that profitable.

Stick to one or a couple of games which you are really that knowledgeable or having that skills or interest into it or else then you wont really be that making yourself that get entertained
on what you are doing.

I think everyone knows what the odds are for the above games you mentioned, but still though, gamblers will be gamblers, even if we say to them that slots are one of the worst games, they will still continue to play and try their luck and hope that they can win big by just one spin and won a jackpot.

As for Poker, yeah, but you need years of experience just to have that kind of advantage against your opponent, so it's not very easy and most likely although it is already famous, not gaining traction.

And I guess there is no bullet proof strategy to win in gambling.

In terms of gambling poker is your best odds if you learn correctly.  The way I see it, the easier the game than the worse the odds.  It makes sense to learn a little bit about what you are playing.  Slots being the easiest is the worst odds.  Blackjack and roulette type of games are worth playing if you research enough

I would not go as far as to call poker logical. Its all based on hoping to guess the right hand to win, but then again poker in person is completely different than poker online. When playing poker in person you require further skills in order to analyse your opponent's face and body movements. In the latter case, winning money would become a completely different playing field. One that the online version of poker does not have. I prefer that kind of poker to the digitalized version.

I had to read your thread many times to understand, in the end the case is this: not all games depend on luck, sports betting and card games are games that do not depend on luck. and when a person is into sports betting, that person can place bets on basketball, football, tennis, volleyball games, this is because they are sports in which a bettor will have no problem analyzing and betting on these games. So this idea that a person should only focus on a single game is not a good idea, because each person has their own skills and in sports betting as well as in all games of chance, it is always an advantage to know the largest number of sports and games

Now when a person is someone who doesn't have a lot of time because they have a job and a lot of business, then that person should just choose a small number of games to suit their time, but like I said that doesn't mean that everyone should just If they focus on just one game, I myself place bets on football, tennis, basketball, boxing, MMA. because they are sports that I know, but there are people who are good at sports betting and casino games like dice, slots and blackjack.

If you depend solely on luck to win games, you might become frustrated. Gambling is a combination of skill and luck. For you to place a bet on sports or game you should have at least basic knowledge of the rudiments of the game. Some games have interested me recently, but I will never place a bet on them until I have spent some time understanding the game. It is also more exciting to place bets on games that entertain you. Don't forget that gambling is not all about money but about enjoyment. So betting on games you are conversant with will help you to combine fun and profit making. Depending on luck is the wrong approach to gambling, rather it is important to develop plans and strategies that will assist you in winning. In football, you need to check the history of both teams and analyze their present performance before placing your bets.

When we want to gamble, before deciding to play, we have to determine what type of gambling game we will play. And make sure before you play that you have mastered the game or at least you understand the rules of the game. The easiest game in gambling is the slot game because we don't need to prepare any tricks or special knowledge when playing it, which is different from card games where knowledge, experience and tricks are very crucial in being able to achieve a win or betting on football which is the case in this bet. We must have as much information as possible and don't miss out on information because this really determines everything as material for analysis in order to win the bet.

Personally, I get lucky with games that would end as FT DRAW results. I won't say that I'm all knowing, I'll call that luck.

Some are due to luck, some are good at what they do it has nothing to do with that.
But I agree with your opinion, it would be perfect if you master a sport and begin betting on it. Football is a good example, if you want to win hear, you have to know clubs that are very good in form before taking picking them for your betslip.

It's a wrong strategy, but lose has got to be one of the best teachers if those it decides to teach wants to learn. Betting is toxic, if you can't cope let it go.

I used to like almost all gambling games, my strong curiosity always wanted to try every game, especially if there was a new type of game. But of all the existing gambling games, the ones I like the most are Poker, Baccarat and sports betting. Lately, after slots have become more popular, I have started to switch to playing slots. Simply put, this game is very easy to play without having to exhaust your mind like playing Poker. But now, I am back to football betting even though I have been away from it for some time due to busy work activities.
In short, I was an addict. However, gradually as my understanding increases with age. My pattern of thinking has changed a lot, from always gambling to now just more about entertainment. and now, I mostly bet on football, occasionally playing slots when I'm in the mood to play it.

Well, referring to what you said in this thread, there's nothing wrong with that. because, of course, our focus will be divided and cause inconsistencies. But in reality, you can actually play any type of gambling that you like, especially those involving skill. for example, you can bet on football, basketball, and even play poker. However, on condition that you really have to understand the type of betting you like. In sports betting, the essence is actually almost the same. The first basic thing we have to know is to understand the sport. I take an example, to achieve something we want or at least to minimize defeat. You have to understand everything related to the sport. for example football, the point in a match is not which team is stronger and which team is weaker. because, every result cannot be predicted accurately. Therefore, understanding football starting from the system, coaches, strategies, players, and everything else will be our consideration. Actually I could explain more, but it seems this is more than enough.

After we research and analyze it, then we can refer to the betting odds, there are various options, and look for options that have a fairly high probability of winning. If it doesn't match, you can choose to bet on another team. In essence, not all matches involve betting. Likewise with other types of sports, the concept is not much different as I said for football. Remember, we don't have to involve all matches in betting. If I can be honest, of the 4-5 matches that I predicted, 1 of them naturally missed the prediction. meaning, the probability of winning in the gambling that I do is not always detrimental. so it is with poker, get to know the game, learn the strategies and become a smart gambler. The matter of luck, is another factor after what we do before carrying out a betting session, except for games that are purely based on luck.

Yes, I agree with you on what you just said above, because despite the outcome of a gambling game been said to be as a result of luck, let's not forget the fact that luck is just a mare 50% attributes to why a user is likely to win or lose a game, whereas others such as in-depth knowledge about a game also plays a big role to why most people win a game, and as such, it is very harmful to rely on luck alone,

Okay if it was poker, slots, dice, etc you can choose any amount of games imo, as they're relatively simple and easy to learn, considering they're mostly based on luck. Even the tricks involved are easy to understand (though they're hard/rare to put into practice tbh). It's game in the first place, the variety can almost be considered as "mini-games" instead so it should be fine imo. It's a strategy to have fun, not a strategy to win/lose.

Now if it was sports gambling, then I agree 100%. It isn't that easy to understand the game itself, not to mention the teams, players, and even coaches and strategies involved. This, on the other hand, relies more on your insight than luck. It's much more probable for a person to have a 100% win rate in sports gambling than in gambling itself after all.

Trying to study the repositions in every game isn't just gonna totally increase your chances of winning either... It still relies on how lucky you are... Peeps ain't gonna wager on everything they see on the speculation sheet as you said...but, there's always a way for everything and that's the reasons why we've got different options in the game. It's believed that peeps Will definitely see them predictions differently.

It may seem hard for you but there are people who can handle it all, so why bother? I won't end up with a conclusion and say: " it's a strategy of losing " when the games we are talkin about here mainly depends on the knowledge and skill of the player. What if the player posses both of those qualities? I know in gambling losing is still possible.

It happens because maybe on some games their opponents are much better, but if they can try again on other game, maybe they are now much superior than the other players? And they can now win this time. Same thing goes with the pure luck games. In a way that their results are random. So we may be unlucky on some of them but the results can now change on the other.

A jack of all trades is a master of none so they say and truly if you master the act in a particular game you gain more experience enough to be able to get yourself to the winning advantage in the game , but spreading your options across every game gives you less opportunity to get a win as you may get confused and mixup things in some cases and this will definitely affect your results.

It's best to master a particular game and be experienced I'm the art of that game, that Way you have created an edge over other contenders which gives you more chances of winning than you would loose but with too many options you don't tend to build that edge around your games enough as the dynamic of each may vary and switching in-between would probably not be good enough to give you the required dedication to achieve desired results.

While there's some truth in your statement and I know that there are some people out there that are doing this to maximize their "luck," I don't think this is the reason the majority rest does this. Everyone of us here who's a responsible gambler bets and plays games on a tight budget, as someone who's playing on a limited bankroll, will you stick to playing just one game, or would you do whatever you can in your power to maximize your enjoyment and bankroll which is to play different games?

I play a lot of games when I gamble and it's not because I want to be able to win at least on one of those games. I just want to have fun and sometimes sticking to one game isn't going to cut it. The idea that a player gambles on many games to earn more profits is a notion that's rooted in the thought that everyone gambles here for profit, which is simply untrue.

Well, if you gamble and just expect on your luck the whole time, then never anticipate that you will get to improve your chances of winning. No matter how luck based those games are, you still need to gain knowledge and understanding on whatever game you decide to play, and even master your skills so you can deceive your opponent at some point. Gambling is like trading somehow. Mastery will gain advantage over other players, and if you gamble on the games that you have high background on it, you will definitely have an edge on defeating other players.

There's nothing wrong on making yourself having involvement on different bets on different types of gambling games whether you are engaging with luck based or strategic based which we know that its our money that had been used on and its normal that you would really be playing on the games which you are interested in. Of course we are really that trying to maximize our winning and if its really that really getting in line with your interest and the money or bankroll that you could have then you could always opt on dealing with multiple games on which it would really be just depending on you as long it would fit out into your budget. Not all would really be that having the finances or money could deal with multiple games and this is why they would really be just sticking into 1 or 2 games
on which they could really be able to bet on. There's nothing bad on having multiple as long your budget would permit you and we know that there are people who are really that having huge money
which they could make out multiple bets.

Expanding your luck doesn't make sense because it is not something you can control when it's more of a scenario that will eventually come randomly as you gamble. I understand why you don't recommend gambling all over the place, but it shouldn't have much of an impact when the same thing happens at some point in the future. There's no point in overthinking these luck-based games when even using the best strategy isn't always enough for gamblers to win their bets.

Right, luck is ofcourse is unpredictable in gambling because you cannot control it when it comes, but eventually, it will. Focusing on one game gives you a better shot when that lucky moment arrives but it is okay to enjoy and play many. Overthinking won’t help. Should do responsible gambling instead and understand the risks, set limits, and know when to stop.

For one to be eligible to gamble, you must have the money needed to gamble and that's why it's believed that most gamblers gamble to get money from their gamblings.  So whenever a gambler decides to gamble in multiple ways, it's also believed that he does so to make sure he wins at the end of the day. It's actually not a bad thing for people to think whatever they wish to think of a gambler but what is more important is what you get at the end of the day after gambling in many games.

The ones you mentioned, I haven't actually played. I mostly play slot games; sometimes I play Baccarat, but very rarely. I like it because when I play gambling, I don't have to think about what bet I'm going to make. Just bet, and it's the same as in slot games.

Also, passing time is often the only reason I play gambling; I don't do it seriously, unlike others; the aim is even the jackpot or getting rich gambling; you know what you want to aim for; that's just my gambling trip here in the crypto space.

So, what you say, maybe it makes sense to me that betting on some types of games is not a good idea, especially since we don't understand well what is being bet on, for example: as you said in Blackjack games and the like, if you don't really understand the cards all bets can fall apart.

I might have to agree with you, chasing wins is not a good idea to mix all kinds of games, understand the games we understand betting on them, I think it's the best thing if they understand it, whatever gambling site we plan to gamble on, play on the type of game that we really understand and understand.

Yes, everyone knows that chasing victory is not a good way to use as the main goal for gambling, let alone playing lots of games just to get a win or catch up on previous losses. Gambling should be able to enjoy the game because if we can enjoy the game, victory will definitely come by itself if we are lucky. , consider the win as a bonus.

gambling should only be used as entertainment so that when you experience defeat it is not too painful, winning should not be used as the main goal, basically luck will come by itself because I have experienced that if the time comes to win then we will win, depending on how we have to take advantage of that opportunity when win, I usually withdraw the money then come back later to gamble again. we must have a strategy to take advantage of the moment. Just play games that are easy to play and can be enjoyed

To focus only in one gambling game in order to become a "specialist" on it doesn't guarantee considerable advantages on outcomes compared to less experienced gamblers in a particular game. I think it's important to have knowledge and understanding of how gambling games in general work, what you can expect from them on long term, what the house's advantage against you is, strategies to enable your bankroll to last longer. However, it seems a waste of time to put so much effort into a single game which is based on luck attempting to find a trick to increase your winning chances, what is impossible.

I only gamble on soccer, some people might be able to divide their attention between different sports, and it might work for them. I am not interested in most of those sports except soccer because it’s one of the most popular sport in my country. If I want to focus on other sports, then I won’t be able to give it full attention, and it will be like a waste of money. Gambling is not all about luck, you have to learn to do your analysis as well. If you depend on luck alone, then you are getting it wrong. Some people might be able to combine different sports together, and they will still be able to do their analysis perfectly and win, but some people will get confused if multiple sports are combined together.

It's not guaranteed, but at least he can improve his ability to analyze a bet. And it can work in sports betting when he only focuses on one sport. Someone may be quicker to get the data if he knows where to look for it. And the analysis won't take long because he already has much experience in that sport.

But it might be more difficult if it was a luck-based gambling game because he needed luck to win. As we know, luck-based gambling games may not be as complicated as other gambling games because one only has to determine the value of the bet and start playing.

If someone wants to focus on studying analysis or learning card games, he may have a greater chance of winning. But it depends on a person's intention in learning this ability.

Luck will always play a keyrole in gambling. But with choices in gambling games, we’re not required to try as much as we can with the number of games we should be betting with. Well, indeed there are instances such strategy works to some gamblers but to majority, it would be much better to engage only with games you know about than to just bet for the sake lf increasing the chance of winning, however you are doing the opposite ‘coz by doing so you are just making random bets without creating any analysis. It is like answering a test you did not study for. I do believe proficiency with a particular game would be best before engaging to another one. To lessen the risk of losing is simply increasing the chance of winning. Analogy is betting 4 times in 1game; all which are winning bets. 10 bets with only 4 of it winning; which would you prefer?

We hqve different ways we see gambling and not to talk about the individual games we play, you're right mate, gambling is most about being lucky, when we place a bet and uses a small amount of money and wins, compared to someone who aleo gambles and uses a big amount to stake his bet, but eventually lost the game, there's no justification for either of the two conditions than how their luck works for them, but when we are gambling, we should focus on the area we are expertise on to increase our chances of winning.

The OP has no idea of the difference between games where there is a house edge and games where there is not. As you rightly say, in casino games, and I would qualify where there is a house edge, spending time and losing money to supposedly become a 'specialist' is a waste of time, which at best might make you lose less quickly in the long run. In games where there is no house edge, such as sports betting or poker, it may make more sense to invest time and money because you could make a profit in the long run.

I think the OP also do not realize that gambling is a game of luck and no matter how many times you play and how much experience you have, every game is a new game and it does not matter if you have played many of those games before or you're a totally newbie in this industry.

Also the typical casino games always have the house edges and there is no casino which will let you gamble without the house edge.

Sports betting is something different and it comes in the betting category. Here also having experience will not matter much because every game is a new game. However if gambler have experience and knowledge of the sports then he or she might have a bit of edge while batting on that sports and game.

Yes, people possess those qualities; playing, very well, more than four games. But, those who focus mainly on one game can outdo them in that particular game. Because the time allocated in playing different games, if used to maintain a single game, they'll be more progress, In such game. Over the multi talented player. That doesn't mean one wins more than the other. They could be rounding up at a specific amount of profits. The more experienced player still got to lose. Despite supervising the game for multiple years. Similarly, the multi-talented player is expected to win too in all different games, a fraction that could amount to enough money. Those who are not experienced could be missing out on the profits playing multiple games brings. We all are expected to lose, regardless of the method we apply. Hence losing is not a method, because we don't plan to lose, when engaging into different games. I only expect the one game focused player to advance quickly in the game than any multi game player. And the disadvantage of playing a single game is that the multi game player gets a diverse fun. They can communicate or participate with slot, and poker players. I enjoy playing different games, and also maintain my loses. It's all based on luck, the kind of card rank a player has, will determine the strategy he'll use in the game. It doesn't mean anybody cannot play, just that they chose to focus on a single game. As one day could be their lucky day as well. Not every player can endure the boredom of playing a single set of games for long time. They'll like to switch and learn new things. At least the few knowledge on the game can place him within a group of poker game players.  

If luck favor then any adversity is easy but if it is bad then nothing can make up for it. I have been focusing on one game for the past few days but luck has not favored me there. I tried again and again but I lost there. When I thought I needed to make a change. I bet on another game at that time and won. One method doesn't always work because you don't know what or how fate contribute. So sometimes if such a situation happens to someone then he must make a slight change in his bet. Maybe this strategy may be perfect for someone or  not that is not the fact.

You are right. In fact, everything depends on luck, and when it's come to gambling is not supposed to depend on anything other than luck.
If we think about things in the way that OP has explained, then in any sector you go, first you need to get knowledge or experience about that sector, only then you can adapt yourself to that sector. That can be investing in our Bitcoin or joining this forum or trading and including gambling. First you have to understand the environment and then you have to invest, otherwise it always depend on luck and if you invest without understanding then you will definitely lose. I will say the same thing about gambling, experience and knowledge must be there, but if you want to gamble, you must know where you are investing, whether it is safe or not. But in the end it all comes down to one thing, no matter how much experience you have in gambling, it always depends on luck.

Poker games are the hardest amongst the games you mentioned, and I do say that the gamblers who bet on them are the ones who are dedicated to gambling, although it is true that gambling is for fun for some people, and it is all about luck for those set of people who view it as a side hustle.

I bet on soccer games and I do add basketball or table tennis too, and I can't even see myself betting on poker games because, from the start, I didn't understand it and I didn't even know about the odds and all the rest. However, I am just beginning the gambling journey, and I am not specific about the odds I bet on because gambling is all about luck. Maybe on the day I might bet on the poker games I might win ;D ;D as they said, it's all about luck.

Gambling, the primary definition of wining gambling is a luck and whenever you are lucky in gambling is when you will win gambling, and basically what I wanted us to understand in gambling is that we need to mind one particular gambling that we gamble with, when we lacks concentration or being divided in gambling it will make us not to understand a particular kind of gambling we need, and secondly, gambling is what we suppose to know that diversification of it can make us to continue having issues of losing instead of wining gambling.

The games that you have mentioned is hard to see a successful gambler who have won money from casino be a master at all of them. What did they say you're about jack of all trades? Yes a jack of all trades is a master of none. I can also say a jack who is a gambler of all gambling games is a master of none. I know some people who say that for games like slots you don't really need any skill but remember that even slot games have themes. And believe me you there slot games where the RNG are for some are higher than the others.  You can only know this if you have focused your attention on playing slots.

This seems a bit of hopelessness actually, if you think that everything depends on luck then you just have to sit and believe that some billionaire will spot you and give you a million dollars. This is lame.

I think you're missing the point of OP, there are games in casinos that does not 100% depends on luck especially card games where you need a lot of card readings and statistics to play great, yes there is luck but with games like poker? Uh uh that won't work.

Our experiences makes us smart enough what and when to decide. Don't believe that it is always about luck. It's about your decision making.

I agree with you.... when we are talking about increasing the chances of winning, we cannot think about diversification.
In standard investments, this is quite common and highly recommended: Diversify your investments in order to reduce risks.
However, in gambling games, the most sensible thing to do is do exactly the opposite... delve into something you really enjoy and aim to become the best player in the world in the choice you made.
Some types of bets have less risk, others are more profitable, so I believe that there is no such thing as which would be the best type of bet to make money, but rather which one appeals most to each player.

Even in a specific segment of games, we need to be quite an expert... in football games, for example, I understand a lot about the European and South American championships, but I still don't know anything about the Arab league, which is on the rise. So, I don't risk playing it.

Why people do say gambling is luck because when it comes to game that they predict, it is totally luck because no one can look into the future and predict what will be happening in the next moment.

As for those skill based games, luck is also part of it because if you are playing poker with a professional like you, then the cards that you pick will determine your win and if you are not lucky in your card picking, your opponent will use it as an advantage to win the game. Most gamble depends on luck, this is why one should only use the amount that he can afford to lose and not to have that full confidence that he must win the game.

Having basic knowledge to every game on gambling is enough for you to join or start the game and gamble as just you've luck is the main factor or essence needed in gambling. However, there are instanses that strategy, observation, knowledge and wittiness are required to win your game such as Poker. On Poker, you might have a good card but you may still be afraid to face someone with a bad card due to his bluffing. The same goes for sports betting, you can't just go blind betting on a team especially just because your favorite player is there, rather you must assess which team is most likely to win the current lineup of players they have.

The gambler should use the online or offline gambling based on their wish.Because the gambler who like the online gambling will not like the offline gambling,because they don’t have the time to go to the venue of the offline gambling like horse racing.But the online gambling was speed and fast execution of the winning amount.The time taken to withdrew the funds from the online gambling was very negligible one.Some time the owner of the offline gambler won’t pay.Some of the co participants starts to fight for the fraud happen in the game by the false blame on the owner.So my wish is online gambling all the time.

If one is playing a game of skill like poker, or black jack, he cannot play any other games because he is focused on the game.  Same goes with slots, although it can be played with auto spin, it is a bit troublesome to play other game because the auto spin is suspended when there is another application in full screen in the front of computer operation.

I do not find any problem playing  in multiple games.  If a player is lucky, he is luck, if he is not then even with a single game play he will lose.  So I don't believe that it is more effective in terms of winning to play or focus in just a single game or single kind of games. 

How about betting on the few matches at the same time and also playing a casino game while awaiting the results of that bet. This can be done and i would not call it a strategy to lose. However, we do require capital to place simultaneous bets and also play a (single) casino game at the same time.

However, we cannot play few casino games at the same time as it will result in a loss (lack of dedication on each game) and also you will not find any entertainment while doing this type of gambling. Those who do this, may also not able to manage the money properly too , as they won't be able to calculate instantly as how much they won or loss and whether they are in overall profit or loss.

I think it's not actually too tasking to be good in sport betting, poker game, dice, and other gambling options, it's a game of luck but you also need to have some experience or better still try to understand how the game work.
Thinking gambling is a game of luck might be setting yourself up for failure, gambling just like any game has rules and how the game goes, doing your best to out play your odds gives you a better advantage in tilting the luck to your favor. The rule is to learn the game and play responsibly.

While most of the gamblers only focus on attracting luck, few of them are definitely working on their own interest and passion in gambling games, and that’s when they build their skills and even game mastery of their desired games. For me, this gives more possibility to win and beat the house because you don’t just play with luck alone, but you have the finest skills and put best interest on your games to make you more motivated to win. If this has become your mindset with playing gambling, most likely you will never suffer from numerous losses but you might be gaining profits most of the time.

I agree, those who have knowledge on the team in sports betting will find it easy to choose which side is to win, and this person can also be versed with poker game, while dice can be played even without knowledge prior to it since we can just bet and wait for the result.

As long as the person allocate a fix budget for his gambling activities, it does not matter how many games he is playing simultaneously. The only downside I see here is that, the person won't enjoy his gambling session because he is too occupied with lots of gambling activities.


I agree, nothing beats being a responsible gambler and learning the games and how to manage the bankroll wisely.

Profits and losses are the possible outcomes a gambler faces daily. It's our decision to choose which results will be appropriate for us and our standing. No matter how a gambler gained experience and possess the good attributes to win games, there's always moment and scenario were he would tend to face heavy losses in the system, regrettably he would always match back to elevated levels because he's brilliant and not reluctant like other gamblers. We also determined to developed the proper positive mindset because there's that's exactly what keeps us going.

It might be a strategy to lose if you’re playing a lot of different games without taking the time to really learn them, but it’s also the way that you learn games. There’s nothing wrong with trying a lot of different games to see which ones you enjoy playing versus games you aren’t interested in. Just don’t bet more than you can afford to lose.

Haha I agree on the poker issue because I also always avoid poker because I think poker games are games that are difficult for me to master but on the other hand for other games I think there is no problem even though we are opposite in the issue of sportsbook betting because I think this is a fun bet to do especially when we have gotten a few bets in multi which the odds are quite good even though I admit that sometimes it is quite a bit but I like sportsbook more than casinos. I also play casino but this is just more entertainment for me in gambling because the focus is more on sportsbook.
But whatever the choice is it is free to do because we have our own views and we are free to choose whatever we like.

Depending on luck alone to win a game is really a big mistake our luck is indeed one thing that decide if we win a game or not, if luck is not on our side even the most game which appears to be the surest and it’s winning chance is very high can still end up disappointing us.

I gamble only on soccer games because that’s the only one I have idea about, at least I have been able to learn how to make some simple predictions that can give me winnings, I select my favorite teams with the option I want to bet on them, and I use my experience which I can call my predicting skill to choose my winning side at the end of the day if luck is on my side I will end up winning the game and if not I end up losing it, but at least my skill is on them.

When talking about games with fixed payouts such as Blackjack, Baccarat, Three Card Monte, roulette and other games, we already know the returns when we win and we know that competing against the casino not only is the profit limited when you win your bet but we also aware that the casino has a higher chances of winning against us. This differ so much with poker especially traditional poker in real casinos (not live poker), where skills and various factors significantly effect your results. This is why we see professional players made fortunes playing poker, as it's entirely different from other forms of gambling where the only thing that matters is luck and your bet size.

The other category is slots and games with fluctuating payout rates. These games can occasionally give us higher payout rates and jackpots which making them more addictive. Gamblers mostly play them chasing bigger wins, sometimes switching between different games in the hope of finding better odds or more entertaining games.

Everyone certainly knows that the definition of gambling is that you can win if you have luck and no matter how good the algorithm system in the casino is it can be beaten by gamblers who are lucky but luck cannot be obtained all the time and gambler does not know or cannot pursue luck to win.
However here I still don't understand what you mean about certain types of gambling because I think everything is the same.

Focus is one of the main keys to calm and when gambler can have calm then he will be able to avoid mistakes such as greed and excessive emotionality.
Two forms of attitude will really destroy the gambler when they reach their peak.

I mean, sure, there care certain games in gambling where skill is a factor. Like what you have mentioned, poker is the best example for this where you can apply various techniques and skills in order to have the advantage over the other person. But remember that the skill involved here is only up to a certain extent- luck still plays a role here.

While one may argue that it is a strategy to lose in poker, I humbly answer that it is not. It sucks to lose- losing is what makes gambling addictive. If a person loses, the initial reaction here is to recover such losses by gambling again. In this way, you are trapped in its ecosphere and the cycle continues endlessly.

When there are gamblers that are dividing their attention into different games, that's because they think that they're good and have the potential to win with most of it. While it's true that it's a strategy to lose it's better if you gamble only one at a time so that you can focus on your bets. It's like multi-tasking and you don't know which is going to be the first one or the second one that you should go on to. And it's not all about luck based on the games you're betting because you know how it goes when you bet for some that require you to do such analysis. Sometimes a gambler does this because of the entertainment that he or she is looking for. When you see one does it, you can give a reminder why it's being done but if not and you've already given the reminder, let them do what they want to do and if they want to bet with everything, that's their money after all and expect that they're willing to lose them all and they're prepared to let it go.

Right on, we all have our free will and choice to make on which we're comfortable to gamble. In which what we think we'll win more and have more odds of winning, we'll go there but remember to do it with moderation.

The important thing in this case is to always stick to what we do and gamble with responsibility regardless of where you end up playing this is the most important thing because even though the desire to win big is always there but we must remember that gambling is ultimately a game to make ourselves satisfied not to make money in it.
As long as we do not violate such things and consider gambling only for games and fun I think wherever you eventually play it will not be a problem.

Isn't gambling a tough business? I can clearly hear you. While spreading your focus across several games can be a tactic, is it the most effective one? Most likely not. Better betting and a greater comprehension of the game are possible when one game is the exclusive focus. Similar to trying to view several movies at once, you miss out on the subtleties and the minutiae. Particularly in games that call for analysis, details are crucial when it comes to gambling

I understand that a major benefit of gambling is entertainment. It's exciting, enjoyable, and, well, entertaining. But, isn't there a line? an edge where enjoyment meets danger. It's usually a good idea to gently remind or nudge someone who has crossed that line. Ultimately, though, it's their decision. Their cash, their chance. They are aware of what awaits them. They are prepared for any eventuality. Just remember: gamble smart, gamble safe

The more money you risk the more money you stand to lose, it is a simple concept and this is how gambling works, so anyone that is trying to earn money by gambling at several different games at the same time is just asking for trouble.

Because instead of increasing their chances of making money they are instead doing the opposite, especially since it is unlikely they know all the rules and nuances of all of those games, so they will make mistakes that will cost them an additional amount of money.

Can you tell me one person in the forum that really believes that though? I highly doubt that there's one and that they're expanding their horizons in gambling games to increase their chances of winning, the likely reason that they're probably doing this is that they want to try new kind of games, gambling on only one game would get boring eventually and it's going to be boring much faster when you're losing in that game and I don't think that it's not a bad thing that people are gambling on different games, it's their money that they're spending anyways.

Of course poker and blackjack would be different, they would be both called poker or blackjack if they both have the same mechanics, it's just a matter of house edge calculation to see which one is going to give you an advantage. Gamblers don't need to involved in different games all at ones, just tell them to focus on one game and your topic would've been much easier to understand.

We hear that at most times it's a game for enjoyment, fun, and entertainment but we also need to embrace the reality that it's really making us aim to win some money. Regardless of that, you can determine what you really are on it because we've got different ideas that are circulating on our minds if it's about gambling and some may agree, some may not and that's okay because that's what it is if it's about gambling. As I've said, as long as there's moderation, that's better.

That all makes sense and it's true that you've got the same point as redslash and that's totally fine but there's also the fine line with that about those who are doing it because all they want is cash and win. That can't be removed for most when we hear about gambling but on point is that when someone is going through that point and he's forgetting all of those limitations despite the owner of the money they're gambling. If it's not doing them good anymore, much better to remind them again that they're doomed to fail if they've seen out of control.

That is the risk of gambling so every gambler needs to know it. If they are not willing to accept big risks, they do not need to bet big money and stick to small bets. But if they can accept big risks and still use big money to bet, they can keep doing it. So it depends on how prepared you are to face the risks of gambling, but most gamblers are not ready to take that big risk even though they are betting big money.

Betting big money will not increase the chances of making money but instead risks losing that big money in one spin. So this will only cost them their money if they lose. And we should determine how much to bet according to what we can afford.

Well, when we start to see things from a much more drastic point of view, offline games are a little more advantageous because they do not ask for KYC from the Game , at most entry identification but that is something that can be given quickly and provide once and for all, however when we do many things in online casinos, we know that it is or can be safer to make sports bets because everything is automatic and there is no Problem, well at least that happens at stake.com, and I don't know about others, but here things are fast, there are other sites that can present problems to do things right, or to pay, I have seen how many users use the Forum to Complain about the bad treatment they are Given in some Platforms , which they do not pay and Which Require a lot of them in the KYC.

With the topic that can be taken as the Best Strategy, well, I didn't know how to Say , there are Many Strategies to play , losing and Winning are the Options that can be Winners, the Majority of Players say that the best strategy is None , that everything is chance because it is not You have to stick to that, so I don't know, it could be like that, but personally I think that things can always be taken into consideration, I really like using strategies, I study strategies, I don't like to play in a linear way, I always like to do a lot strategies because with one applying only one or by pure luck either, it seems very boring to me, and it is something that I always like to see from the point of View that is Closest to reality, there is no good strategy that makes you Win at once, the strategy It can make you win, but not all the time that is what can be established, for me, I am a regular casino player, making sports bets, I am always aware of everything, I don't like to bet more than normal , because I It Seems dangerous, it's like a self-control that I have because I only Regret what I am Destined to lose, no more.

Maybe you are not reading carefully what you are posting. Clearly betting huge amount will increase your chance of making money since your bankroll is huge. You will earn 1M if you place 1M on 50% chance game which is more money than placing bet with 1$. It’s true that you are increasing risk too but that’s the part of high risk high reward.

I’m not saying that betting big will increase your winning percentage but rather the volume of money you can get as profit or simply make money.

I think there is a little misunderstanding here, maybe what @maydna means is that in gambling no matter how big you bring the budget, it still won't be able to guarantee you to get a more accurate chance of winning, we can see that there is the word "opportunity" or what it means is "possibility", it seems that your perspective is too directed at the high number of wins when we bring a bigger budget, And obviously the "number of wins" and "chances of winning" are very different, meaning the number of wins where you have managed to get lucky with a large budget then obviously the winnings will also be bigger, and for the matter of chances of winning it relates to the possibility of luck and is still uncertain whether you will win or lose.

Gambling is basically really a race to luck, nothing more than that. No matter how big the budget you bring if you are not lucky then obviously you will lose with that budget, big or small the casino will not care. So in this context I see some very useful advice, as conveyed by @maydna, which is that you should bring a smaller budget amount, because no one can predict the final result, and of course with a smaller amount, the risk if you lose will also be small, none other than this is just to minimize the amount of loss.
