Can gambling be profitable in long term ?

[Eastwind]

of course it might be profitable in a long run everything depends on how lucky you will be you can loose all your balance in a day though you can play with it for a year if youre lucky

It depends on how long term you specify. In a year, you will lost all. If you do not lose all, it means the design of the gamble is not right.

This thread is reaveling itself for what it is: a useless thread in which everybody randomly says random things.
Gambling will not make anybody rich. Unless one is extremely lucky. Gambling, on the long run, will make us all poor.

Except from the owner of the site which will be extremely rich.

Like that this topic got a complete answer.

Not sure what is considered long term, but in over 60K+ hands, even I, an amateur poker player, am in profit playing micro-stakes poker cash games for bitcoin, not even counting rakeback or bonuses.

I think not only base on luck it depends of your decipline and self control if you some profit dont be greedy just keep it and have profit.. you can win it again if play it continue so i you need a better wise decision...

I think it's pretty safe to say that gambling can be profitable, but no one will ever know how profitable it can be for the short term... in the long term, I think everybody will clearly realize that you will end up losing because the odds always are against the better for every gambling website.  But that's what makes it fun for the short term gambler who wants to have a couple drinks and gamble fractions of bitcoins with no fear of losing the shirt off their back if they lose.

Betting aint about being lucky, it's all about managing your bank well and not beeing greedy!

That's true but it's easier said then done, someone once told me that if you do sports betting and try to do it responsibly and just aim for 10-20 % of your investment every day you might just end up making profit over the course of time but as soon as we start to gamble our first aim is to double up the money as soon as possible and that's where we end up losing.

I'd say no, long run no. If you're smart about when to quit, then I think it could be

Simple said: NO, it cant be profitable long term. Maybe when you will be mega-lucky.

If gambing sites were at loss there should not be milion gambing sites. In long run "house edge" will be the winner...

EDIT: I am talking about Dice, Slots, etc.. (Sport bets yeah I believe they can be profitable when you know what are you doing...)

Yes no one can make money from gambling in the long run or can generate continue profits from gambling. But still some members claim that if one have a skills then they can make money from certain games where they need to skills to win. We should know for any game to win we also need some luck also so luck will come only sometimes not ever time.

Luck is the highest factor in gambling...maybe in some games skill too, but without luck you cant be "rich" with gambling.

Of course you can. You need to see how many pro poker player that make money to live just from playing poker. They are not fiction and they are real. They are the proof that if you got skills then you can win

No one can be profitable for ever in gambling

I am right now profitable in my poker + sportsbook gambling. I may not be profitable forever but atleast right now im in profit. Some people can get profit if they know how to do it correctly

What does  it mean to be correct in betting or playing poker? There are rules that must be followed or strategies than make you win? How time have you in betting and sport gambling? How is the time in profit during all this time? Can you be fair in your answers?

Luck is a good factor in gambling. However, the law of statistics is the most important. That is the reason why somebody will operate a casino.

Yes, I might not die today but I may die tomorrow. Therefore, I may win today and I might lose tomorrow. Hence, on the long run we will all be dead.

Luck is how the gambler makes his profit. Statistics is how the house makes its profit.

Which do you think is going to be more reliable over time?

[Sowik]

It could be but you must have really strong self control and luck.
