Does Skill Work?

[bering]

i do agree with you if you're playing poker and blackjack you will need not only just luck but also need good skill to do it because if someone doesn't have it i'm quite doubt they can win if only rely of pure luck

I think the only gamble that required skill is only Poker, because even with bad cards you still can win the game, using bluff technique

and the professional player also can use mimic or emotion bluffing tecnique

Yap, poker requires skill but not 100% skill. Players still need luck to win on poker, and I would say that bluff is not a skill. It is just a crazy thing to do on poker

[davinchi]

Well, do not know why but I always feel that betting on roulette at a particular colour maybe say " red " is better than betting on 50% chance at any site , simply because I have never heard anyone loosing 20 roulette bets consecutively, while I have seen in dice.

Yes, i think skills work on some gambling. Like poker and blackjack. These two games also need luck but the next step is your skills, like poker you need to smart to trick or bluff.

May be that will not happen in online poker. Mimic and some emotion that you let people to see that will just happened in direct play not online poker. And bluff too that is not 100% works because sometimes people will follow your bluff because they also have a good card so although skill your really need some luck when you play all gambling games

yah cause roulette is a very slow play. so it will tends to be quite hard to play too many times to experience 20 consecutively loss but still it is very possible in the long run.

[michinzx]

of course skill works, otherwise anyone with a bit of poker knowledge would be on tv at the major poker tournaments and making millions. there is a skill ceiling to poker and there are a handful of players who consistently play at that level and are constantly appearing at these events. that should be more than a small indication of how much skill can matter.

[Daijess]

Yes skill is working on gambling, if you have skill to not be greedy then you will earn your profit

Still , all you need is luck .

[Epicnicity]

Most of the lists that you made are true. Some gambling take skill and some just pure luck.
Depends on what you prefer to do as well.

That is a valid point. Probability speaking, it is more likely to get a long losing streak in 2x bet in dice (50.5% chance to lose a bet) than in roulette (51.35% chance to lose a bet). But with autobetting, you could be doing several bets every second in dice, while in roulette you would be doing 10 bets or so a minute only.

heads and tails game also purely on chances
at this game the skill doesn’t work i guess
depends on luck skill not required

[victoryboy]

This is not just skill which works but you also need little trick to win.Gambling actually is a combination of skill and trick to dodge your component when you are playing poker especially.

[pumz]

Yes skill works because there are professional gamblers who get their earnings for living just from gambling on their skills.As you mentioned at op in some games you really need luck to win.

Yes heads and tails game is a good option, I have seen some people martingale on real cricket match tosses and try to increase bet slowly when loose. While I think its a good idea but the chance are still same loosing and winning.

[Junko]

As others have said, skill plays a major role in poker. Other factors play a part also. And while skill is a big factor, one doesn't necessarily need to be the most skilled poker player to be profitable, just more skilled than at  least one other player at your table. Sure that player can get lucky on occasion and win a few hands, but in the long run, higher poker skills give you an advantage over less skilled players.

[camelson]

Poker takes massive amount of skill. You can always keep improving even after 10 years+ of learning it.

Sport betting takes a ton of skill too, to be a consistant winner, its a different kind of a skill set compared to poker though.

For the Poker i think this one is the best answer

Yes

Poker is played against other humans, not the house.  Humans are exploitable.  Imagine playing against a human whose aggression is completely out of control.  I play against them every day.  Imagine playing against a human who is afraid to take any risk.  There are plenty of them.  And they identify themselves.  The house-created games are almost always not exploitable (unless the people who created them are incompetent).  Bitcoin internet poker has a unique combination of advantages that none of the others (including brick and mortar poker) have. The very low rake (or even zero rake at the lowest tables on SwCPoker) allows players to gain the needed skill at very low expense.  It is not unusual to play over 100 hands per hour.  In contrast, trying to learn how to play poker in a brick and mortar poker room can be expensive and time-consuming.  It is Bitcoins that allow internet poker to be provided at such low expense.

Actually in every task it needs strategy and skills so as in gambling,it needs skills and strategy.Once you gamble right from the start you have your plans on how you can win and earned,not that just by putting up to something without even thinking.Don't just say it was just for fun ,once your into gambling to earned and win matters,so it takes skills.

I don't think gambling is skill-based. Just a few categories, like sports betting. Except them, it's all about luck.

I don't consider BlackJack being a skill-based game either, not even partially. There are still random cards, you never know what you're going to get.

[BitMaxz]

I think blackjack is not base on strategy its more base on luck.. 
Or almost all are need luck not only strategy if you have a strategy it won't work without luck.. it needs also luck..
Its not all base in strategy.. you will never win even you have a strong strategy without luck..
