Doing something particular and consistently for a while that may span more than 21 days to a month will produce results in the form of developing caluses or finger tip skills or instinct that may become like a second eye.
It is necessary and mandatory to be able to tell the difference between the skills learned during gambling activities, because some skills are genuinely embedded in muscle memory and other skills may rely more on cognitive function to be accessed.

Therefore, whenever the subject of fingertip skills especially when it regards the context of gambling is in the mix, what are some fingertip skills that you won't ever forget even if awoken suddenly from slumber or one has left gambling activities for a very long or even short time?

There's no trick, it's pure luck.

Probably card tricks that we can use it to cheat on friendly poker game by swapping the cards with another set of cards in a way that no one notice comes under skill? ;D

I still classified all gambling skills to be fingertips skills because already when a skill is developed or formed it's already being programmed to the finger as the human brain and fingertips mostly functions alike in terms of writing, operator or gambling they functions according how the brain releases the sets of commands that is basically fit for that function. We can take example of racing (sports racing is something that is basically in skill based game or sports which one uses their hands, legs to drive quickly as possible) in this we can say this sport is a skill based game. Another is bicycle, is another skills based sport which is you don't know how to ride you can't balance your weight, so it needs skills to be able to do.

21 days might give you an opening towards learning a skill, a taster on whether you think you can be successful at something, but it is far from enough time to truly master any skill. The saying which I think it more true is along the lines of needing 10,000 hours in an activity before you can say that you are proficient at it and from my personal experience in life that is much truer. I'm not sure about fingertip skills or how they'll be relevant to the majority of casino game or even sportsbook type gamblers, but I can see poker players becoming very quick at using mental arithmetic for calculating the pot odds on every single hand which helps them determine if the price is worth staying in or even raising in their situation.

Decision making skills.
Rather a quick decision making skill. For instance in a sports bet I need to do a quick risk to reward analysis and decide immediately if cashing out is going to be of advantage to me or not. If I delay in making a decision in this regards, I will likely lose.
This one is kind of like the soft skill that I have learned through gambling.

Don't get it twisted, having to do things for 21 days becomes your habit but we can't say that if gambling because gambling is pour lucky game thing and even trading that one could develop a skill it's still very impossible for one to win all the time just because you have being doing it over some time, so for that we need to avoid making such mistakes that we can become an experienced gambler, when there is nothing like experience in gambling winnings what we have is luck and nothing more.

Skills are easy to develop, but proving that we’re actually profitable in gambling is a whole different challenge.

For me, the best skill I’ve developed so far is better self-control as I no longer lose unexpected amounts, and that’s something I’m really thankful for. After years of gambling, at least I’ve learned how to manage my bankroll smarter.

Next goal: Winning consistently.. still locked, but I’m working on it.

Gambling has a lot of skills that those that the gambling already become addicted to their body will never forget in gambling, first is lost know matter how a person get money reach if he/she mistakenly put huge money in the gambling is lose them without single profits it will be a painful things; which will be very hard for him to forget

That’s why know matter how a person gambling should never allow it to become addiction to his body even is his try to leave the gambling it very difficult; because it has already addicted to the body and the problem of some is that instead of them to have some control for themselves: but they will not that’s why they fall in victim easily.

You can become skilled in something, but that never guarantees your success 100%. This could be extrapolated to business; you can be a great merchant and never succeed due to external factors. Since there are so many external factors, which do not depend on your skill in games of chance, you will almost always be relying on luck to succeed. Maybe if we talk about sports betting, your skill greatly influences, but there is still a touch of luck involved.

A card trick is not a skill; it's a shady way of winning using your trick to take advantage of the table, making the honest players look stupid. It's pure scam and cheating to win, if you ask me, and it's not a skill and shouldn't even be considered to be one.

It's very common for our brains to begin to feel like they are getting use to some things we do unconsciously more like we are knowing a better trick to what we are doing but then in gambling it's all luck yet some times I do get more lucky with some little things I have observed which can possibly be called skills.

Some things I've learnt that I can call skills are betting on games with almost equal odds for both home add away to end up draw it's just a natural instinct but sometimes it works more for me.

But let's not forget that it's still luck not skill or tricks.

do you know that some people who is addicted in gambling does not know when they became addicted so I believe that gambling addition it's been determined by the person's emotion and it is control level if you want to control it why people think that for you to be addicted in gambling it is abnormal the reason being that you can go with the what you cannot afford to lose but if you don't know with what you can afford to do there is no addition there, the process whereby you can't control your gambling motion that is to show that you will be addicted in gambling forever but whereby you can control your emotion that means you can never be gambling addicted so that is what I want us to understand the concerning gambling addition sometimes people does not know when they are gambling addict.

I’m not sure how to describe my skill in gambling, as their is no perfect one other than taking my time to predict my games no special skill to be called upon in the middle of the night and I will be able to prove it, I bet mostly on sport and I there is no magical skill that can guarantee winning in that area aside from me being able to stand firm each time I take a decision and to stand by it.

We usually use skill experience while gambling, and in our brain we shuffle the cards in different ways while gambling. At this time, the fingertips have a wide role, and we see the fingertips working exactly as our brain orders. However, we can express this through another example, we see different racing and their hands and feet are the carriers of expressing the skill of playing, because knowledge and brain are present in every person, but those who are disabled in hands and feet cannot play any role in racing. So I want to say that when we play games in the field of gambling, we have to press in different ways, and there, the fingertips are also much more.

Even with the skills the success in gambling is not guaranteed. And what you describe to be skill is very confusing. Skills in gambling can be considered to be familiarity in games, decision in difficult times and choice of odds. These are skill. I dont know how addiction and self control becomes a skill. The things you mentioned has to be the attitude a gambler needs in gambling.

Never experienced to develop calluses in my fingers when gambling; maybe those who are addicted have it. I only develop calluses when I play a guitar.

About finger skills in gambling, card games is the best to develop skills and tactics during playing, like blackjack or lucky nine. As a dealer, I can't forget what I did I always took a second card instead of a first card and they don't know what I do; they just think that I am lucky, I'm happy it's just a friendly game in my friends house.

However, in a real casino, you can't do that because they have their own dealer; the same goes for online casinos; they already have fraud prevention practices, and anyone can't do some tricks.

Fingertip skill, this is in card games, if we watch movies we see someone can do it, but isn't that a form of cheating?
I don't play card games except traditional card games but there is no fingertips skill but maybe other players.
But gambling is still based on luck, skill and trick succeed in theory because when playing there are other factors that are beyond our calculations.
Sometimes skills and tricks help but not always.

Finger tip skills you say, Well I can't tell because I think applying such finger tip skills in gambling isn't good as it encourages alot of bad attitude overtime that involves you to take some certain decisions. Applying skills in gambling can be seen as an influencing way of getting back at your losses because it's only one who chases over losses that tends to come back and apply some skills inorder to win but if you can just gamble far from all of this then you are rest assured of handling gambling fears that my hinder you in the long run.

Calculating probabilities is a skill that I consider essential for any gambler, because with practice it is possible to develop the ability to quickly calculate the probabilities of certain outcomes in order to make more informed decisions in games of chance.

This applies to any type of game, whether sports or card games... in fact, I think the latter is best applied because it is important to know how to calculate the probability of getting a certain card or combination of them using statistical formulas and techniques, such as the law of large numbers and probability theory.

Obviously, you need to be discreet, because many casinos prohibit card counting, but if you develop this skill well, you will also be able to consider factors such as the number of cards remaining in the deck, the number of players and the bets made to develop an intuition for these calculations and make more accurate decisions.

However, if you have always hated mathematics and statistics, perhaps it is better to try to develop a different skill :D

Card shuffling used to be hard when I was a kid. Whenever I watch older men play various versions of poker, the shuffling wouldn't fail to amaze me. Later on, when I started gambling with cards myself, rapid shuffling becomes nothing. Everything just becomes muscle memory.

The same goes with dealing. The more I played with cards, the faster I deal. As a kid, this only amazed me.

What I failed to master as a skill was the trick in both shuffling and dealing which allows you to get certain cards. Expert card gamblers can cheat this way.

I believe they are marking the specific card like it’s edge is not align to other cards when they are shuffling so that they can easily locate it.

I have a good shuffling skills and sometimes I can manage to this this with the help of my pinky finger as way to mark the cards that I want to pick specifically.

Good for you. Have you actually cheated and made money from that shuffling skill? This skill is actually helpful especially if there are side bets like first three or highest club. I've known quick shuffling cheaters making money from such side bets.

They also deal so fast that they could easily switch dealing from the top to the bottom and from the bottom to the top without others noticing it. Although their fellow cheaters could detect it. They have informed eyes as they're doing it themselves.

I have not heard about skills, but maybe I will change the meaning that to form a new habit, it is necessary to repeat the same thing for 21 days. I will not say that it can be a skill since I define this word as experience, and for a habit, it is quite acceptable. What can be said about a habit of gambling: not to exceed the amount that was allocated in the plans for games, not to spend more than is allowed. The habit of staying calm has developed since skill or experience says that gambling is just games, and planning some future expenses for money not yet won is simply ridiculous and unreasonable. Otherwise, it is difficult to say that certain actions cannot be forgotten even after time has passed; this is not driving a car or riding a bicycle. Gambling is the smile of fortune, and only she decides to whom she smiles more or less.

I have a friend that thinks that he wins consistently from crash games because he always keeps his phone in a particular way that makes the plane fly higher. Others believe that if they tap their phone in a certain way they'll keep winning. These are all delusional thoughts that can cause obsession and addiction. Gambling is nothing but pure luck especially when It comes to casino games, there's nothing you'd do to constantly make profit, there are no trick or hacks to it. People keep looking for ways to cheat the house but it's not something that can work, just gamble with the intention of having fun to make things less complicated.

This is the first time I've read about something like this. I doubt very much that you can acquire any muscle memory by betting on football or even just playing in an online casino. I think it's more suitable for a game like billiards, which is also played for money, just like gambling. Moreover, real billiards. Well, maybe this phenomenon can manifest itself in some card games, and real ones, not online ones. In general, I am skeptical about the phenomenon described specifically in relation to gambling.

What are finger tip skills??? Do you mean actual tips of your fingers literally? Like motor skills? I do not know if this is a common phrase among the gambling community but I really have not heard of this before. I do not think that there is such thing as finger tip skills. Especially when it comes to gambling. What possibly could you do well that is played with fingers? Usually games played by hands (slots for example, or games you need to click on like crash games) depend on luck completely and has nothing to do with skills of your fingers.

In casino games? There's no such thing. All you have is the hope that the algorithm will give you a good one. Even if you grow calluses as big as your fingers, you might not win that much or you will just have the calluses forever. :D
I would understand it more if it's about sports betting or maybe poker. Sure, even if you haven't played for a long time your instincts of how it is played will still remain but you will still need to heat up and practice before you can be at the same level as you are back when you are playing often. Poker is an easy game but it's the opponents that will be difficult to read.

the first and most important thing to hold at your fingertip as a gambler is that it is more of luck than your expertise or level of experience in the game that guarantees your win. if you have this at your fingertip, even in games you seem very sure of, you won't get tempted into gambling above what you can afford to lose. it is the false hope that you are an experience gambler that knows too much about the potential outcome of a game that leads to aggresive gambling which result in a regretable loss at the end.
 

To be honest, in my personal opinion, winning in gambling, whether online or offline, is really just luck. Because from my experience in gambling here in crypto for several years, even if I only play once, I rarely win a decent amount of winning.

Therefore, in the few months I have been playing, I have never won more than 30$. I do win but not more than 20$, so I can say that most of the time I really lose.
But since my purpose is just for fun, it doesn't hurt me to lose in my gambling.

That is my episodic memory which will give me the ability to recall that gambling is a game of luck. That is Incase I would sometimes feel like I have got a sure game especially when I come across a casino streamer that is tasked to convince the audience that following his footprints will lead to a 100% assurance winning.

My episodic memory would as well remind me that it is difficult to keep winning in a consecutive role. That is when my instincts try to make me feel I will continue to win if I keep betting more just after a single winning.
Same episodic memory helps me to maintain disciplinary order in case I am tempted to go against my gambling plans.

I literally don't lay trusts on my fingers when it comes to bets because I am more of betting on the sports event and not skillful games.

For me, I don't think there's any tip, because before I place my bet, I usually do a quick or careful delayed analysis in order to come up with better prediction that have a high chance of giving me a win. If it's slot games, there's nothing to analyze I just bet and expect what ever result I get, there's no tip. The only thing is to remain discipline so as not to become addicted and that will be prevented if I don't cast all my hope on gambling winning.

Skills in gambling are what you believe made you win often than you lose and that is what gambling is all about.

When I was playing card P2P, I believe I had a skill of reading the next move of the next player or my opponent, so I think I read their mind. Therefore, I try as much not to provide a suiting card for the next player which will ulter his move and subsequent changes the plans of the other players until it gets to my turn. Sometimes I succeed in that and at other times it doesn't work with me the way I plan it.

Gambling is like where luck is still the highest compared to relying on skills, maybe some people believe in their hunches about tricks whether they have won or not they still believe in this.

Card games still rely on skills as well as sportsbooks.

I've never had any skills at my fingertips except betting on football and knowing what's competing, that's all, I've never been concerned with where the tricks become the chances of winning.

I don’t dare to this on actual gambling since I love my life but I knew some other player that do this on regular basis and branded as cheater in my neighborhood that makes him unable to play with us.

I only use this skill on friendly game like pusoy dos which I frequently locate 2 of diamonds and that’s all since I’m just playing with my friends for fun but I never done this on real gambling since    player on real gambling is very violent. LOL

Fingers tips may come in different dimensions depending on the game you're playing, for instance, when you're playing a board game or let's say dice, all these are more or less of being under luck for playing them like you will do when it's card game or car race, the same applies to any casino games we may play, using our fingers for various skills is tied to the specific games we are playing, we must not also forget that virtually all games comes with their own skills.

Definitely anything we do more frequently or consistently for 21 days to 1 month, we will be able to learn a skill from it, Be it gambling or whatsoever.

Gambling skill is mostly brain skill, which means you must be able to learn how to make decisions and stand by it without being moved by other peoples opinion. You must develop the skill to gamble without being afraid of losing.
You might also be conversant games that are likely to win without proper research even if you are awoken in the dream to make a prediction you don't need to make any research online because almost all the club and their pas record are stored in your brain. So all this are the skill to learn in gambling.

Making quick bookies withing some few minutes is a fingertips skill. Funding casino account, withdrawing wining. How to play casino games roulette and slot . I don't know if this what you mean but if Yes, this are the few I can think of now.

With gambling, there is nothing as fingertips. Everything is dependent on luck. The simple trick is to determine your luck for the day with a small amount. If lucky, things might go in your favor based on how well you move forward with control. With sports betting, I have a fingertip skill, which is very common. That is to go with the lowest odds provided by the platform, giving you the highest chance of winning.

more often than not it’s just all coincidence and the more it happens the more you get convinced you are actually good at something so you try to keep doing it the get frustrated when it doesn’t work you might end up becoming superstitious too and too calculated when it really has no effect whatsoever

the sooner you realize that only luck can save you, the more fun you will get

Talking about skills they are needed to achieve something, so a finger tips skills that I can't ever forget in gambling is learning how to be in control of my myself and everything, it includes being in control of my actions, decisions and results this is something I can't forget in a jiffy when it comes to gambling because it enables me to be on asafer side other than looking for ways to chase over losses and all that, so having this at my finger tips in being discipline and responsible for my every actions.

not sure if this is a skill(I think it isn't, but I think it is worth sharing) but one thing that stuck with me because of gambling is being able to properly manage my finances and be more responsible about it because of how I follow the quote "Only gamble what you can afford to lose". in the past I am reckless when it comes to my money to the point that if negatively affects my quality of living, and yes, impulsively gambling is one of the main reason.

Well one thing I understand in gambling is that follow your heart. This may sound stupid but it has worked for me and also not worked for me, but still I strongly believe in it. I would rather prefer losing to what I predicted than losing to what someone else predicted for me.
Also learn to call it a day, gambling is also emotional and when you can control your emotions you hardly run into much troubles.
And the last but very important, make sure you gamble responsibly.

What I can share/recommend for the community is to always chase big multipliers, that's the real way to make profit, making big bets to low multipliers will makes you lose all in those yo lo bets, but low amounts on big multipliers can become a massive profit.And when I talk about big multipliers I mean x9900 or bigger.

I think critical analysis is one good skill I learned from gambling, detailed critical analysis where I'll have to gather every information about team form, players availability, track history and H2Hs before placing my stakes.

Emotional stability too and the beauty of having a budget for whatever financial involvement. After my addiction struggles, I've learned to always budget myself for anything to help checkmate excesses. Such a discipline can't leave me easily.

I kinda like that, that's a big win for you mate.Having some of these skill amay seem and look unprofitable,but just a matter of time would reveal that it actually going to pay off.
I don't think I have a special skill power that works for me all the time, it's just the normal method of brain work,brain power and energy to manouver exclusive strategies that comes swinging to your face.Gambling big time is processed and revolutionized by the brain.

In all your sticky methods, emotional stability favors me, and it's presumably among the best skill for any gamer to harness. Without being sound emotionally, even budgeting would be difficult and financial maintenance will slip off the player's hands.

Since I only place sports bets, I don't have any fingertip skills, but something very important that I learned while placing sports bets was bankroll management, I consider this an excellent skill that I gained with experience, I know that many people may not consider bankroll management as a skill, but in my case I do. Today I place my sports bets and I don't get upset when I lose and it doesn't harm my finances.

I also bet on sports and I have learned not to get upset when I lose, because I understand how the owners of gambling establishments earn money. My loss means nothing and it is important to look at your long path in betting, and it is important what result we have in total for all the time we have played. I will always understand this, because I have come to this on my own, but most players are very worried when they lose, they are ready to bet all their money on one match, I think that this is completely wrong.

Well, I don't doubt what you said, perhaps you probably have had your experience before sharing, but honestly, I have tried that too and all the effort was futile, I did hit some high multipler but when I think that I was beginning to see a trick that works, I still go caught up and lose the whole winning.

Even in sports betting there is no great skill about it if it where that possible Many would have turn billionaires through gambling, or it would been thought in a class room too, there is no guarantee they are all embedded with luck in form of being at the right place at the right time, we keep seeing surprises performance from various sports games with unexpected results, just that it can be very difficult to gamble blindly without making certain research and analysis of which we are not meant to completely rely on them.

Hmm, that means this is for skill-based games, which require analysis. But if it's a simple based ages, it seems like no matter how many times, the percentage because of luck is very high. Or unless we are really smart and good at cheating the system, this might be different. However, for others, it is indeed a luck factor that is very influential.

Well, if it's about skill-based games, and also some sports betting, it might be possible to analyze and consider several factors that allow our guesses to be correct, but it still doesn't guarantee 100% that it will be in accordance with the prediction.

I always thought I had some skills, but the results say otherwise. Maybe I’m just delusional, which is why I keep trying and trying, only to end up losing money without any positive results. The only real win I can be proud of is that I’m enjoying gambling. And by thank God, I’m no longer addicted to gambling. Maybe that itself can be considered a skill? not the kind that helps me win, but the kind that keeps me in control.

Maybe the context will be different but for me this is a trick or skill that is rarely owned by gamblers, a simple way that cannot be done easily, requires a long enough practice and also has a conscious thought when doing art with a finger that is owned is to stop before reaching gambling satisfaction, someone who has won, for example, very rarely immediately stops gambling but they do further gambling, while only a few people make withdrawals after the big or small wins they have obtained at gambling for me it is a skill that is very rarely owned by a gambler.

Normally it is better to gamble for yourself. rather than trusting on somewhere who might just be lucky for the first time. Most of the telegram groups and Channels on X are owned by gambler who just got lucky in predicting games. Yet, people who can predict even better than them because of desperateness will subscribe to their channel to receive games which at the end of the day it is still based on luck. Try to read under the comment section of those pages on X, Facebook or Titktok you will see that people are only complaining that they are losing instead of winning. The only positive review you will get there are fake review.

I think finger skills do not guarantee or become a benchmark for your complete success, everything is systemized by the gambling site creator. I think it's just a hallucination of every player that their finger skills can influence the result for him. Even if you gamble traditionally, when you shuffle the cards you can't arrange the cards and of course those around you want to reshuffle them again so that there is no cheating in gambling. This ensures that all players have equal opportunities and that the outcome of the game cannot be manipulated by individuals.

I don't competely understand what you mean by fingertip skills, but I am assuming you are indirectly referring to strategies here, if this is actually what you are talking about, well, to be honest with you, I did say that it's completely of no use, over the years and counting, its been established that there at no strategies that has any form of guarantee to work or has worked, winning in gambling has always been completely based on luck, most especially if what we are talking about here is slot and casino games.

If actually there is such a thing or skill as a fingertip skill which any gambler could master to better their chances of winning most of their bets/games, don't you think this would have become a viral tactics practiced by every gambler out there, seeing how desperate alot of gamblers are in terms of winning their games?

Is good that you are not an addicted gambler again and you probably must have some finger tip advice to give to any one that's having some symptoms of addiction. Apart what I have said before now, my own tip is that, I will always accept cash out offers if the amount is 2 to 3x more than the amount that I have staked.

In my opinion, muscle physical Memory is not related to gambling at all, because if you play in an online casino you do exactly the same actions as usual, then click the mouse and this does not contribute to the deposition into physical memory.
And speaking of a physical casino, I believe that there is no impact on physical memory there either, because people perform absolutely habitual actions from laying out cards, throwing dice, or pressing the lever of a slot machine.

Of course even in sports betting there is no skill that would going guarantee you winnings. because just like as you mentioned had it been is possible like that many people would have make through gambling by now. But still people are struggling in times making a winning in gambling, because luck plays a significant role in gambling, there is no strategy or skill when it comes to sports betting.

I believe the thread could have been locked after this reply and we wouldn't have missed anything significant of the further replies.


Yes, but here, again, we are talking about games of skill, which the OP doesn't seem to distinguish, in the same way as many forum members who comment in this section.

yes it can be redundant many topics here in the forum are about luck vs skills all the time

but if we want to talk about card games then yes there can be hands skills that you can use in order to win first of all you do not want to reveal your cards and would want to hide them as much as possible from prying eyes some players can even use some techniques to move their cards without their opponent/s seeing them

another skill is not having a tell some players can get anxious and start tapping their fingers or start fidgeting with an item or something else this shows the strength your cards may have and your opponent might get an idea from this so those are the only finger skills i can think of related to skills

I doubt if fingertips stuffs do actually work in gambling, even skills don't work in gambling rather everything happens by chance and luck in gambling so we shouldn't get confused or complicate things though to some extent you will be thinking or feeling there is something like skills in gambling but there is not, is either you are lucky to win or you are unlucky to win there's no magic anyone who claims to have a skill in gambling is lieing but knowing some teams ability can give you an edge to know what to play just for sometime.

Maybe to learn to let it go, I mean if you know that you are losing and so you should learn to quit and maybe go on fighting the next day. Thus, you can also apply this in IRL. And there is a hard decision to make, then it could be the easiest is to just don't go and continue, just like in gambling.

Of course, there is luck involved specially in games that we played. But maybe if sports betting you can have a small edge here. 21 days though is very short amount of time to really learn and developed those finger tip skills like the one I mentioned.

Gambling is a game of luck but in sport betting, you need to be skilled enough to make possible prediction, even if it takes luck for your bets to be successful, you still need to also rely on your ability to produce good predictions. Another tips could be how to prevent yourself from being addicted and also how to be responsible gambler.

Games like Slots, Crash games etc will probably depend entirely on everyone's luck and of course any way it is done depends only on the system that works and usually the algorithm that is created will give an advantage to the casino platform, let alone an illegal casino that does not even give any winnings to the player.

But for football betting, it will partly depend on a prediction made from existing data, such as in football betting, it will be able to be predicted according to the strategy applied,
the players who play and what factors will affect in winning, the rest will also be based on luck.

I saw a revealing video about an illegal casino where they set up an algorithm system where the player is never given a win... It's obviously an illegal casino committing an indecent act but for a regulated casino they can't possibly be committing fraud... even though I know the real win is the platform.

Yeah sports betting does not rely entirely on skill, at least there is luck on your side as a bettor, it's just that in sports betting we can analyze a team then this can increase the chances of winning, yes although it will not be entirely correct.

I am not understanding the topic. Nothing you do is really going to help you on luck based games.

When playing live poker i like to shuffle my chips. It helps keep me relaxed while I am making a decision as to what to do with my hand or the action to take in the middle of a hand.

That's about the only skill I could think of as far as using my fingers.

I agree with your opinion, it is a fact. Luck-based games like slots do not require any skill in playing, even someone without any skill can win the jackpot if he is really lucky. Skill games like cards or the like are certainly different and this does not depend on luck completely because in some cases you can win because of your skill.

Regarding sports betting, data and team performance can certainly help make decisions. The difference in squad depth of the two teams will make the probability of both winning different, so there must be one of the two in the favorite even though sometimes the result can be contrary to predictions. For example, Manchester City's draw against Brighton today.

The point that you are making is very clear, but you have to understand that it does not completely apply to all types of games. In sports betting, you need skill before you can be able to secure your chance of winning before luck will do its thing. The same thing is applicable with games like poker; without skill, it's hard to win on those games. If you are talking about slot games, you're completely correct that luck is what's needed and your skill really doesn't count.

It might have something to do with some people's superstitions. I have also seen people who think that they tend to win more if they gamble on particular days of the week, such as only Tuesdays, etc. What it means is that they wait for Tuesday so that they can gamble because they believe their luck works on that day only, and if they play on Monday or any other day, they will most likely lose. These are all superstitions and have nothing to do with logic or reality.

In reality, gambling games can't be played with skills or anything else that can increase one's chances of winning. Some people use strategies, but those strategies are also mere betting patterns and do nothing in the context of making you win. You only change your bets and believe that you are applying strategies but you are not.

Or rather say, there are tricks that can only exist your mind...
I don't even need to reminded about some certain facts -- especially since being too forgetful can come with a fearsome price... Can you help but not learn from the unceasing cases of catastrophic setbacks from gambling, as a harsh effect on their victims? I do whole lot of reading...

So theoretically, we can all agree that we need them just as they need themselves together, at the same instance to produce a win win..
Well I feel sad for the fact that some set of humans can comfortably wager on games that have been programmed to display random numbers on the screen, and yet they feel very okay about it

I think your skills as a sports handicapper are the most important factor, because  with the right skills you can win whether you're betting on favorites or underdogs. What really matters when analyzing games is finding value, if you're good at spotting that, you'll end up with more wins than losses. And in the long run, that’s what makes you profitable.

Looking at the data will only lead you more to choosing the favorites which would make you one sided, not a key to succeed IMO.

Yes, I also know that, I saw the full video on the Podcast and a former programmer who made an online casino application that has indeed been set up in such a way that the illegal casino platform always wins.
But even so there are still many fools who believe in such illegal casinos, even putting in more money, hoping for the jackpot.

A draw is also unpredictable and this depends on the strategy and performance of each player.
But some fanatics or supporters will only choose their favorite team as a betting option even though their performance in terms of data and strategy drops and is superior to the opponent.

I don't want to have any special skills in gambling, what will it profit me if I still need luck to win, I can try to do some analysis in sports bet, nothing serious. I think that decision making skills is very important in gambling, deciding whether to cash out, knowing when to quit, deciding not to over gamble, not chasing loses and budget for bankroll. If you can imbibe these gambling decisions and make them a habit as skills you'd be a responsible gambler. I want to enjoy gambling without putting too much pressures of learning a gambling skill on myself, I only focus on making right gambling decisions.

It depends on the game you are referring into because if that's a slot game you will become dependent with the RTP chance or percentage but of course its base on the luck if you will win a large sum of profit gains which this game is takes a higher risk reward to play, but if you are into a strategic game such as card games, and analytics and statistics such as with sports betting in this you can get a strategy, technique or skills in making wins.

That's... a thing? I swear this is minmaxing to imaginary levels lol. I mean if you were to  have the satisfaction that you're losing because of this then I guess feel free to do so but for others, this isn't really true. Even sleight of hands isn't exactly a thing anymore due  to the numerous things casinos do to prevent tricks like that from being relevant again. It'd only matter IF the dealer was in it and security wasn't that strict. Usually you'd have security cameras on tables like this so I highly doubt that.

It's usually people who believe in ludicrous bonuses or offers that go to sites like that lol. Legitimate casinos offer some level of them yes, but illegal casinos to entice others offer crazy ones to the point where someone with common sense would think "aren't they losing money from that?".

This is not a skill based thing that you can develop thumb rules or ready reckoners to help you do quick math and outsmart everyone else, it does not work like that. The casino will win whatever game you play, the question is how long you can hold out?

So a general rule that I follow is sticking to the bankroll that I have allotted for the day. Once that is over or my wins cross a limit I would stop playing.
Another rule is not to regret the losses, because you are solely responsible for them and to stop them you have to stop gambling.

Indeed, many are attracted because the low Knowledge and greed to earn huge profits make them tempted to sign up and play using their money,
when in fact it is just a trap that will rob them of all their money.

Modes of large bonus offers are the easiest signs of illegal casinos to guess.
In my country where gambling is banned, but illegal casinos are thriving and even thousands of sites continue to appear and do marketing secretly on social media,
even though many have been taken down but continue to appear again and again.

The important point is knowledge on how to avoid illegal online casinos, so that they do not fall into the traps spread by scammers.

Haha maybe we saw the same video in the Podcast...
Until now there are still many friends playing in illegal casinos... you know this casino has a domain like IP for example - 109.xxx.xxx.xx I don't know, it turns out that there are still many people who believe in that casino. Maybe because of the ease of depositing using our local cash.

Have bet on sport bet shops and most time I play the virtual game so am kind of familiar with the odds, buh though sometimes the odds changes and this is why I do not wager big money on any odd. However majority of the games gamblers bet on are luck based games so wagering bigger amount on any odd is not a responsible way of gambling cause the odds are against the gamblers. Because the odds are against all gamblers this is why winning is entirely based on luck.

You are right. Sports betting requires skills; how good you are with your prediction will determine how lucky you are going to be in your games. It's not like you will just go and pick some random games and allow luck to decide if you will win or not. Your skill is what helps you pick the best among every other option. That's why one player with prediction skills wins more than the other player, even if they are both depending on luck.

In our case though, there are a lot of so called gambling influencers locally, who have shown their streamers but it's obvious like a demo account of that game that's why the person is winning big. But one time he was caught when he accidentally reveals his demo account. But I still believed that there are a lot of gamblers that he had influence to play on that platform because they thought what they see is real.

And that the player is winning big. So many of them try that game and wanted to replicated the style and the bet and then how much they are to win. And with this, the casino is on a win-win situation because they've fooled a lot of gamblers. And even if it has been exposed, many are still depositing with local cash.

What I have realised in gambling os that, no matter how long you gamble, there is no way to be place at a position of consistent winning, gambling os pour luck and it hard to develop a theory or patterns to follow to uptain the needed results.

Anytime you are set out to gamble, just have it at the back of your mind, luck is all that it take to win over house.

Here we are talking about those skills that do not depend on chance. For example, these are some skills in poker, for example, the ability to "read the mind" of your playing partners or the ability to quickly count cards. Even if you just learn to quickly count in your head, it will indirectly help you in life. However, this has nothing to do with long-term winning in gambling in general. We can do a lot "with our fingertips" and still lose a lot of money. In addition, 3 weeks is only the minimum time to consolidate simple skills. I once read that complex skills are consolidated for a much longer time.

In my opinion, 21 hours is not enough to form a stable skill. I read that it takes at least 1,000 hours.

If you plan to become a professional poker player, then you should develop your short-term memory. This will come in handy in order to remember all the cards that have already appeared in the game. It is also advisable for you to develop mathematical skills - for example, to add and multiply large numbers in your head. To play poker, it is very important to be a good actor - this will give you the ability to bluff and confuse your playing partners. You should also become an outstanding psychologist - a physiognomist, to be able to read the emotions on the faces of your gaming partners.

To acquire all these skills, perhaps 1,000 hours of training will not be enough.

Not sure about a gambling streamer... like they have a partner with a casino or use a demo account.
It could be, right, even though the streamer is playing with real money but the account has been provided by the casino?
Moreover, those who use demo accounts for streamers are like cheating.

That means there have been many cases with local casinos, right? Not only in your country but my country is the same with many local casinos cheating.

I will join/agree with other members who said it's all about luck... Be patient (but in some moments you need to push & be aggressive), have a plan (sometimes it's better to play randomly), analyze games & try to read the opponents (mostly in sports betting & poker), look RTP before you start playing, check is it the full moon outside, and other stuff & magic tricks. In the long run, you learn that we are either lucky or we are not.

So it's on us to try it (and how many people are trying/testing their luck at this moment?), and of course, each of us is giving the best we have, but it's gambling... some will win, some will win some huge money, but the majority is on a losing side. Reality...

I agree that it's not all about luck, it depend in the game we're talking about. Perhaps games like crash, slots, etc. are almost completely based in pure chance, and plinko a little bit less dependent on it, but with other games like Blackjack and, especially, poker, skills are a decisive factor in many cases (although luck is always decisive too somehow). With sports bets I have some doubts, but it seems clear that it lies between the two extremes mentioned.

You're on point mate. Sport betting is unlike casino games where you pick any odd randomly or even get any multiplier by luck. Here you have to attain a level of knowledge to know the best options to pick to be  close to wining the game, a gambler with no knowledge on sports betting could also secure a win but it won't last long before he start getting frustrated and abandon the game. But for a gambler who understands sport games, he can enjoy what he's doing doing because  he understands and can interprete odds based on the closest possibility of winning. Take for instance,  I'm  a football lover and I also derive joy when I bet on teams and can watch the games, most especially  on my favorite team.

Skill you can call what you gain from experience and as they say the experience is the sum of all your errors/mistakes. So let me put this into context, let's suppose you play Texas poker every night, be it with little money or in some free rolls and by playing every day you learn when you can lose even while having good cards and with the passing of time you know exactly when it is safe to go all in and play it safe based on your experience, in here these are called skills at your finger tip to always remember while you are playing this game of poker. Personally I have won a lot in poker but because of my lack of patience I don't play anymore as I used to rush, and rushing is an enemy in almost every profession, even in poker play.

There are certainly those form of skills when you come to certain Casino games like, Poker as you’ve mentioned. I’m usually stunned how these guys could know the what place what card is from the deck, despite how many times it’s been shuffled. Seen a couple of those tricks from the magicians playing with their cards but, that’s by the way. It’s one way to really know those good players you know.

Though, it’s a lot more different with Sports betting where you don’t get the chance to decide but, your hope of any skill relies on how well you know the team, history of the fixture and what’s their up coming fixture and performance at the time. The rest relies on how you play with the odds and the market to gamble with.

We do see the same podcast that talks about how illegal online gambling websites scam many people, even now keep popping up and even getting out of hand.

Yes they use IP as a domain to log in, but some use unique domains to avoid detection.
People who still believe are of course very addicted and even make small deposits at the beginning,
but then make continuous deposits because it is indeed easy to make deposits with local money, just scan the barcode and finish.

For me I would probably say the best "finer tip" skills that I've learned in gambling mostly center around Poker, or "Texas Hold'em".  I use to play like crazy, especially during the 2004-5 EXPLOSION of the game in the United States.  I mean poker took off like nothing I've ever seen before.

What I would say for poker, don't ever show your hands, ever.  Also, keep a straight face, talk as little as possible.  To me, when I started doing this my game got significantly better.  BUT, everything works different from one person to the next.
