Do you find Success in Gambling?

[Juggy777]

If you're looking for a answer why don't you look at bitdice Ann thread and see JustPoor bets, and I'm not even talking about one or two btc bets, he plays upto 40 btc at a time and higher amount in ltc. Seeing his story tells me success comes to those who take risk and believe in themselves. Yes I know gambling is risky but then so is life so it's worth a shot.

In the past where I think gambling can give me good money for my future, it did not, it brought the other side to me. Success can be found on gambling but there are just a handful of people that can do that except the casino and gambling site owners obviously. Gambling is a game of luck, if you are not lucky then you must not gamble, I do not know if there are people that are lucky either.

Most of the people have the same thinking. First they think that they can make money from gambling, they become more excited in very early stage, but later on when they lose some money in gambling then they realize the fact about gambling, some time then restrict themselves from gambling while those people who become addicted then they find it difficult to quit gambling.  

Well, you will not learn the lesson or know the truth about something if you did not experienced it before hand. Gambling will not give you any success nor profit since it is just a game of luck well, that is unless you are an owner of a prestigious and one of the most popular gambling casino in the world. You will not find a success in gambling as gambler but you will find it as an owner.

I find some success in Online Gambling because all my deposit are only coming from free faucets when I started the crypto currency last April, 2017. Just like they said gamble only what you can afford to lose.


Here is my stat on one gambling site I played

11.10082714 BTC WAGERED 0.14142170 BTC PROFIT
   
119.82957774 ETH WAGERED 0.82918252 ETH PROFIT

Those profit is too small than compare to others but those profit help my family a lot.

If you play long enough the odds of having the websites edge is all the same. If its %1 house edge and you play long enough you will see that its %1 for all of us on a long enough run. I played on multiple websites and gambled away many of my earnings on them and never had I gambled just once any place,

I play for the long run and when it comes down to it no matter what strategy or what tactic you use, the house always wins because of the edge and not a bit more. You may get lucky on one bet or get a losing streak but it all evens out on a long enough run if you stay.

I had success in gambling many times, I won some big amounts in my gambling carrier with small starting amount. That doesn't happen all the time, it's great when it's happen, but that comes from a lot of playing and having some aggressive styles of playing. Risking is something that you need to be ready for, to risk all amount to win something big. Success come, but that's the one of the things that are good in gambling, I gamble for enjoyment. I love to gamble and spend time for that and money normally. I don't think I'm successful in gambling generally, because I don't play with big amounts, who play in big money and can live from that can be successful, others like me just have fun and occasionally big win.

I play gambling many times and i still do not find any success in gambling because players won't get any benefit from gambling. Players do win a huge profit but it won't last long they will still lose all of it in gambling if they still play. Only the owner of a casino and dealer who get success in gambling not players.

How many times have you not found yourself facing simply losses and that you still pin hope on success?

Countless times when I'm totally one of the most addicted gambling person in our family. Losing isn't even a thing to stop to look for better results and success in gambling.

But time passes by, realizing on how much I'm losing, time, effort, money and almost every time it made up my mind.

I found success in gambling before or it should be a temporal success which those times are giving me some happiness and a couple of amount to spend with for my wants.

Usually for most addicts, every success in gambling is always a temporary one anyway since they will still end up gambling it all away. The thing here is that the success you get from gambling is not guaranteed and only when you know it is by a huge luck you could even get that before you can appreciate what you have gotten and silently walk away with it.

For someone who is so much concentrated on winning than losing, and kept pushing, they always lose everything as they push their luck further and when they even win big, they still push it further thinking of winning more out of greed until they lose everything over again.

With addiction as a side effect of gambling, I do wish to know what exactly the success rate of your gambling is. How many times have you not found yourself facing simply losses and that you still pin hope on success?

Gambling allows you to think that you will win every time in spite of the losses that you incur. You feel that success is just missed by a margin as thin as a hair. Every time you lose, you do feel that success was almost there and you could have had it almost certainly. And since it was almost a success story just missed by a very thin margin, you do not mind going in for another try only to miss again by a thinner margin! One success and you are happy. But does it stop? No. You feel that your efforts have now borne fruit and here onward you will surely win every time you take a shot in that game. But what happens? You lose again by a margin thinner than the previous time.

In this way we are lured every time for that success almost at hand, which we saw but could not get hold of. And we try time and again because it is so near. The truth is that you will find you end up losing everything in the hope of laying your hands on that success. Only the extremely self-controlled man will stop himself from further gambling the moment he tastes success.

True, many times one success can compensate for all the losses incurred. But what we miss is that that success itself is extremely rare. It is not a bad thing to have hope. But hope serves when we work hard towards success not otherwise.

I have played gambling a long time and i do sometimes win huge prizes with it, but i do not feel any success in gambling because even you won many times you will still lose in gambling. Only the owner of a casino who have success and be rich in gambling.

I do not think that 5% people can claim that they have made money in gambling and are succeeded in gambling. To me as i know about most of the people around me who are related to gambling, but still i cannot see a single person who have made a good amount of money from gambling and now stopped playing gambling any more.

I have had both success and failure @ sports gambling.

OP describes the perspective of someone who has not much experience in gambling or in studying the approaches people take in attempting to profit from it. Many sports gamblers are well aware they cannot win every bet and so there are many who hedge through props in an attempt to play both sides of a bet to profit.

Likewise, sports betters recognise they cannot win every bet and tend to be very selective about which matches or events they participate in. Knowing which games to avoid and when to quit can be one of the most difficult to learn and adhere to skills.

When it comes down to it, a large portion of gambling could be defined as a mathematical venture. Certainly there are gamblers who gamble purely on emotion who are used as the poster children for why gambling is evil. But at the cutting edge you might see mathematical equations and formulas being employed.

Overall, I'm at a loss of at least 1 BTC almost, I know this because Crypto-Games offers stats for your win/loss ratio.
Mind you, this is over a period of more than 2 years, so it isn't that bad.

I just make sure never to gamble more than I can afford.

LOL, you seems working with CryptoGames and you lost the 1 bitcoin means how I could reply I do not know mate. I see the investors gambling with the big fund but normal campaign participants and other task earners will not go with big fund.

Since part of gambling campaign. Try to hit the post with the positive views about the gambling mate. lol, You may get rewarded for it.

If a gambling site is running for years means it is in a profit and players are losing money. If a site can't make money then they will close the site soon. I'm also an investor on that site and it is giving me profit but may not be huge but better than keeping my coins in my wallet. I invested some coins and happy with the investment.

In gambling games most of us losses at the end if you play for long and no need to hide that part. You can win only if your lucky and nothing wrong with OP post.

[ImHash]

With this year world cup there is a chance to win for real, I mean there is no rigged games or any provably fair system in place or lack thereof, We could actually win big if we try our chance now. I'm personally not fond of gambling, Yes maybe I used to like gambling a lot, But not for a long time now. So I believe that these days are exception and there are some chances of success if you could find a place to bet your money and let the players decide the fate of your bet.

[imadmirer]

You have just summarized the answer to questions that surrounds ''Why do you keep coming back'' to gambling and most times the reason why people still keep on going back is greed and that is when addictions sets in. For a mild gambler, there is nothing wrong to lose its part of life. Several times you attended interviews and you just didn't know what you said wrong just that you were not called back, its a thin line as well or a thinner line. For me, I am going to play, when I lose, I come back again next time only when I can afford it alone.
@the bolded, its not only at the point of winning that a self controlled individual is needed but also at the point of losing not to be blinded by the quest of revenge and end up losing the more.

Yes what you say is very true. The quest of revenge after successive losses can also get extremely addictive. I do feel as I mentioned in the post that working for success is important and I am sure that will be rewarded in the form of luck. But shall I share what I have observed with your post? It is the same gambling aspect that you want to come back again when you have enough resources to spend. And may I ask you if this spending after you have enough resources is also part of an addiction?

I would be happy to learn from the experiences of many of you who have had a good hand at gambling whether you have always found that most people complain of losses repeatedly in spite of knowing the fact that gambling can wreck us neck deep in troubles? It is difficult to distinguish between habit and addiction. Addiction is deriving pleasure irrespective of losses, if I may put it that way. That is the very reason we talk about addiction in gambling and never as taking to regular gambling a habit.

I also wish to learn how generally people cope with losses in gambling. As you said they may feel like taking revenge and can end up losing everything or they may take it with a smile and not venture into it again. Am I right in understanding that people who take gambling for fun and enjoyment are happier with gambling? But here the serious question that arises is that can those who are simply enjoying and having fun be serious success seekers? And can those who seriously seek success enjoy the game as fun?

[onrise]

There's no success in gambling. You just got lucky in a a very short time and then lose afterwards. I have lost alot many times in gambling and until now I still gamble a few times but i dont bet big amount, it's just like gambling for fun, I dont want to be broke just by losing all my money in gambling.

Being lucky itself means to people being successful. Because not every one can be lucky and if you are lucky then mostly success will be near or with you and you can easily achieve money, fame, name etc. In gambling as well you require the luck with you to be successful in making the bet win.

People with gambling problems don’t know about maths (specifically, the maths of gambling) and/or self-control problems. But for most people gambling is a way of entertainment, and they don’t ruin their lives, otherwise gambling would be banned and severely punished in all countries.

I've actually had quite some decent success in gambling. But that's probably because I stick to betting on sports that I know absolutely every detail about, and playing PVP games rather than playing against the house.

This is they key: to play versus other and not to play versus the house. In sports betting or poker you can be successful but you need to acquire deep knowledge and to make an effort.

I really wouldn't matter if I became addicted to gambling because I rarely lose, so I would only end up being an extremely rich gambling addict.

I’ve had a similar experience playing poker some years ago, when it was easier to make money. I used to spend quite a few hours because more hours meant more money.

I guess having an addiction is only a problem when it starts to negative impact your life, like being addicted to dieting or working out.

I totally agree.

Likewise, sports betters recognise they cannot win every bet and tend to be very selective about which matches or events they participate in. Knowing which games to avoid and when to quit can be one of the most difficult to learn and adhere to skills.

Something similar happens with winner poker players. They know they can’t win every hand and tend to be selective about the tables they play, the sites and times.

When it comes down to it, a large portion of gambling could be defined as a mathematical venture. Certainly there are gamblers who gamble purely on emotion who are used as the poster children for why gambling is evil. But at the cutting edge you might see mathematical equations and formulas being employed.

I totally agree.

I have tried my luck with gambling quite a few times. But it was a loss-making exercise for me, and therefore I stopped doing it. But I know a few people, who profited out of gambling.

The same situation as here mate, I also tried my luck on gambling but it doesn't fit me in I've always a loss when I'd play gambling.
Gambling is not all the times that you are successful even though those experts on gambling nothings happen to them if they only wanted is a success of gambling because it depends on pure luck when it comes gambling.
But if you have enough money to gamble why not, who knows the good luck will be yours at that time.

[sweetbet]

I've had a few decent wins here and there, but when I look back at it, I believe that I lost much more money than I actually won over time. It doesn't bother me too much though, because I rarely gamble, and when I do, I only gamble with small amounts of money that I can afford to lose.

Every people have their own success so for example sweetbet , you're feel failed but as long as you can afford to loss, you feel no regret, do you ?
But for other people , not have same just like you because they want to success or at least get some profit before stop betting.

So you can see people like Dan Bilzerian, Professional poker player that I can consider him as success gambler in the world right now

The successful gamblers can be only found in once in a million so everyone can't be successful in the gambling earnings.I never consider myself as successful here because I lost more money and just earned very few from here and there so no ome can't make money from gambling in long run.
