You can't win gambling if you only know math. Gambling requires luck to win. Because we have seen that sometimes strong teams lose to weak teams. So it is wrong to say that only maths is required to win at gambling, you need both luck, maths and skill to win at gambling.

Quote
math and gambling seems to go with each other, what do you guys think? Am I wrong or right?


Like Op eventually said, they both could go with each other and not one alone for the other.

Maths can be used for certain games though like for poker games or cards and a few others but definitely not for majority of gambling games. For example in sports, you can't rely on maths alone, you need the calculations if at all to know the goal strength of players, teams home and away but the football skill and knowledge you have is very important to your gambling success too. So maths and skills are not in isolation from each other.

1042  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: December 05, 2023, 06:51:43 PM
This is too sad news op. why you did it? Gambling with loan money is double risky then gamble with your own money. if you loss your own money then You may suffer but there will be no pressure to repay the loan. if you gamble with the loan and lose it then you lose money and on the other hand you have to repay the loan by earning money from another source. you have taken a big risk, if you win the gambling then your loss might be recovered but because of the loss you have to repay the loan which is a lot of trouble. And not only the principal amount but also the interest has to be paid. After that gamble according to your ability sometime.  Stay away from activities like gambling with loan
You don't need to ask why OP did it, it's obvious that OP got addicted to gambling, I mean that's the only option as to why OP got in this pickle, no way that a healthy person could get to this level of depravity in gambling. I think OP gets the consequences of his/her actions, pretty sure that this is a cautionary tale to what gambling addiction does to someone financially, mentally and physically.

It is unfortunate but an uncontrollable urge that some gamblers fall into. One of the major reason for taking loan in gambling is where the gambler has lost out but he is trying to come back into the game. This is the real factor that causes it. Ordinarily, gamblers don't begin their game with loan but they are forced to do that because of the losses that they begin to chase in the middle of the game. I have seen seen many like that in offline gambling places that ended up dropping their iPhones and android phones to come back at a later day to retrieve their phones when they pay up their debts. So loses can make a gambler without control to take loan and at the end they end up not having back the loses they were chasing. Gamblers need to learn to let go when it doesn't go their way.

Yes, unfortunately the majority of people have to lose for others to win... that is how gambling works. You have a  Sad face when you lose and a  Smiley face when you win.

That is funny and sarcastic too. Yeah sure from the countenance of a player you should discern if it was a winning or losing when he is done. I usually don't feel sympathetic when a gambler losses because I believe before you go in there for the bet, you already understood what it is and that the pendulum would swing anywhere. This is the reason gamblers need to risk what can still make there face look cool.
1044  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: December 05, 2023, 02:20:39 PM
Sadly it varies from society to society, country to country. If I talk about my place it is not as great as your place, I assume by your writings. You said in your country citizens aren't allowed to gamble and with gambling tax money government are building many healthcare infrastructures. Well that's a very positive thing. I didn't knew that, gambling platforms and casinos were involved with charity works. Now if I talk about my society, my country it's the opposite. It's spread like a wildfire, from young to old everyone is directly or indirectly involved with gambling activity. The sad thing is there are rules and regulation but the government aren't able to control it. It's harming the common folks. The governments should at least protect the citizens from gambling like your one does.

In such country where you see rules are available but government is not handling situations well, it effect is majorly on the younger generation because they abuse gambling and you see under age gamblers alot afterall who would check the casinos from stopping them to gamble since the casinos are there to make money. The moment where there are gambling rules but are not followed even the house edge becomes absolute and extortion may also become a routine.

Government need to step up in places where casinos are freely allowed to do whatever they like because government slso need revenue in tax from them to carry out their social amenity function that will also generate employment for the people of the country.
1045  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: December 05, 2023, 01:45:58 PM
Usually when you hit a big profit , you should insta cash out and buy yourself something or you will end up making another deposit with the money you just withdrew a few hours or days ago. However ,if you have hot streak day , you should give it a try and keep playing a bit more but as soon as you realize you are just losing money , just leave and cash out for good.  Cool
That's what gamblers who win big should do. But the reality is some gamblers continue gambling because they still have the belief that they can win big again. But as we know, greed will not help him to win any more money. He had to realize that.

Withdrawing winning money is something that gamblers who win a lot of money should do. It was something he rarely got, so it was the best moment to cash it in and buy something to celebrate.

Some gamblers believe that when you give up or cashout and go then you have given up your chances of winning more,this is usually the views of those that are addicts. So the idea for them is to continue playing and trying more luck . But for a random gambler or the newbie, a one time big winning is enough for them to run away feeling better despite how much that they have lost through the time before the winning. The losses are what an an addict consider more to keep going and not running away.
1046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 05, 2023, 01:12:04 PM

Ideally betting like a pro requires a lifestyle change and when you take up gambling as a lifestyle you will experience significant financial changes.

What aspect of financial challenges are you expecting? Is it negative or positive growth because there is no guarantee with being a professional gambler. No doubt that you would also be making some profit but he will also be losing big because he will have to stake higher. I believe maybe streamers can have probably a steady outcome either they are in collaboration with the casino but to be a independent professional gambler doesn't have a guarantee of financial break through.

It is good that you brought this up op, so that guys go know wetin dey sup abt these scammers wey dey search for means to collect people money. Although, me I never experience this before but na eyes opener to guys wey dey expose their wallet anyhow.

1048  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: House rents frustrating while solutions are ignored on: December 05, 2023, 11:21:58 AM

Imagine houses built between 2018-2023 where a single rooms rent is placed @ #130K which the rent fee is evaluated according to the nature of the economy and the cost of building materials which would be extremely expensive and houses built between 1990s-2017 charging its house same 1 single rooms at same rates at #130K even when the houses were build when the economy was kindly impressing comparing to today's.
    

My broda e no matter oo. E dey inconsequential wen dem build the house that na why house and land still be the best investment for naija. Oya see, shebi you know say that old house go still need repairs and maintenance, so if landlord go market dem no go give am dat old price na, him go buy on current price so na the thing be that. If person pack in now dem go request for repairs for inside the house and na still new price for materials wey landlord go buy.

Also, owner of house or landlord na still part of the country and dey go same market, transport, pay school fees for children, so na the one wey you get you go still take sustain yourself.

The bulk of the issue na bad economy, make government fix the economy and rejuvenate price control system.

Bitcoin has performed well since last 6 months despite the predictions flying say the price go go back to $10,000 but e no happen and na so the year don dey waka finish.

This year halving bull potential is very high as the dominance too na big plus for the ride next year.
1050  Economy / Economics / Re: Goverments must have good plan very soon on: December 04, 2023, 04:33:43 PM

But goverments should have some plan i wait airdrop of money for each people AT least 2000-3000$ without working ubi income

You can keep waiting for airdrop money while other people are struggling the little they can to survive. There are no free money, even in refugee camps people don't get that. Some people in the past prefer to be listed in refugee camps because some government and NGOs take care of them but not happening the way it was.

If you are waiting for airdrop money maybe you can wait for another pandemic like some countries were magnanimous to show financial support to their people but that is not what you need because it is not sustaining.
1051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Include Or Always Include Gambling In Your New Year's Resolution on: December 04, 2023, 03:51:48 PM
New year resolutions are good and in fact very good because it guides you into what you want to achieve the coming year, it sets you into a level of achievement which could either be to drop certain things you are doing that is setting you backwards or it could be you have been trying to add something more to what you are doing which will help you in getting to the level you want, like if you have been procrastinating on something that will be good for you so you may resolve to stop procrastinating.

So regards to gambling, someone who have been having bad gambling habits, gambling responsibly and losing money  can have that resolution to stop but if you have been a moderate gambling that is not seeing it have any damage to you and you are having fun from it, you may not see a reason to have a new year resolution on it.

1053  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I could have won bigger. on: December 04, 2023, 02:39:49 PM

Let it be, sometimes we always have the same fate that when betting small money with big odds we always win but when increasing the bet the odds become difficult I don't know what happened maybe this remains the principle of luck no more than that.


Same as my view. He may engage the bet with the whole of the $10 and lose the bet. Sometimes it happens like that, that our fate takes us away from bad luck but we don't know it. Big staking value has its own spirit and small amount seem easy to win, that is gambling for you. Maybe he could have wanted to add more games to want to win even bigger amount of money from the $10 and the new games he added will become his ondoing and he could regret more.
1054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I could have won bigger. on: December 04, 2023, 01:38:01 PM

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.

Move on with the feeling that $1 was the right amount to use to bet that game from your side and that maybe if you had eventually increased your stake then you might have lost and in this light that your friend saved you the day.

So there is another day for bigger win and that day, there is nothing that will cause you disappointment to how much it is you want to stake. Congratulations to your bet winning.
1055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sympathetic gamblers looses itself on: December 04, 2023, 11:51:34 AM
I have seen some facial expression gamblers that I am emotionally touched about and feels they have loosed more than they can handle and feels they deserves an condolence winning.

No body gives a gambler a consolidated winning no matter the losses they have encountered and that is why we have to face every gamble like it is suppose to, bet as you can afford and you can move on in peace if you lose.There is no friend in gambling, every stake is weighed according to what options that it is opened for.
1056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos after the shutdowns of mixers on: December 04, 2023, 04:37:07 AM
I think the ban on mixers will not primarily affect casinos. In the first place they are regulated and before now many of them hold on to KYC requirements in their terms and conditions, so it is still as before to check for illicit transfers and money laundering. So it is still generally as business as usual, I don't think anything has changed.
1057  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The enemy of success on: December 03, 2023, 04:07:52 PM
This I have described as failure at arrival.

I think for me I will describe procrastination as laziness. Yes I think a greater part of what causes procrastination is laziness because it delays you to call for action on the process of achievement.

Most people who procrastinate are more of lazy people. To confirm this, most times that we procrastinate, if we check properly, we are lazy at those points. So, it is tied together, however it is not to mean that people who have been classified as lazy are not great achievers. They are, they draw their strength from zeal, passion and the need to survive.

1058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling are mainly for rich and lucky mind. on: December 03, 2023, 10:58:58 AM

Gambling isn't just for the lucky and rich its for anyone who uses it as a form of entertainment which I do.

But I think more people that gamble do that for the profit that they are aiming at and that is why they fall into addicttion because of the desperation of winning which is not usually the case. So looking at that, not much number of people gamble for entertainment like you, probably you are lucky for that  Grin At least you won't have to be losing money since you are only gambling for fun.
1059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: December 03, 2023, 05:36:34 AM
No one addected with it once. Giving time in gambling creats slowly addiction . Im not gamble addected person but spending  time with gambling addecting me with gambling slowly. I'm taking it as a entanglement purpus and i am not serious with it that's the reason im playing this for entertainment. But I thik that entertainment can create addection.

It all starts gradually and with time you will see yourself doing it more often by your own especially if you start having some little winnings then you start to get attracted and deep into it if you can't control your emotions. Nobody plans to be addicted to certain things or it is not always intentional but lack of control of your excesses lead you deeper. So it depends on what you want, keep getting the entertainment and don't risk more than what you have and enjoy your game.
1060  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Keeping Numbers Or You Allow The Machine To Pick Your Numbers To Bet on: December 03, 2023, 04:48:01 AM

My reason is I don't want to have attachments on numbers that I'm going to bet because it will make me a lotto betting addict, some bettors keep their favorite numbers to bet and they make sure that they bet on it daily in fear that it will come out when they failed to make a bet.


It is fear that makes a bettor to allow the machine to pick numbers for him, probably he has been trying his numbers by himself without success. Likewise the bettor who feels if he doesn't go with his selected numbers consistently, that time will come when he won't play them and they will appear as the winning numbers, this is some bettors believe too. Sometimes picking different numbers of 0-99 at random can be the answer, it is a lucky game .
