The Definition of Winning in Gambling

[suzanne5223]

Depends on what you value more. If you are playing for fun, no amount of loss should make you feel bad. If you  want to earn money though, winning is when you made a profit on your capital. Something that is difficult to maintain in the long run.

You proof your point but to me winning in gambling doesn't have to do with the W but self satification with what you earn for the day, be able to walking away with instead of spending it all on gambling or setting a limit and sticking to the planned. Since such person have nothing to loose then he's a winner.

The definition of winning in gambling for me is when you reach the streak. If I am on a winning streak, I can consider myself as a winner.

It could be different for different people. People have different approaches and mindsets which results in different opinions. In addition, for me, you are a winner in gambling when you can control your nerves. This is a winning mindset. Gambling is a game of uncertainties and the output could be determined by the way you make your strategies and the way you play. In addition, if you believe in luck, you might feel a bit more at ease.

With the house edge, it seems impossible.
Gambling is not a place for people who are ambitious to win big but lack of skills, you have to be smart in order to win and that requires dedication.

Keep in mind that there are gambling games that dont need any skills or knowldege  . all you need is luck and you can possibly win big on them but it might require dedication due to the gambling difficulty and luck dont also strike all the times  .  

Gambling is not a place for people who are ambitious to win big

Why not ?  People actually play gambling because they think that they can double their money ( which is a bit true , as long as your luck gets you )   gambling do also have big jackpots that you cant find anywhere  .

The definition of gambling is not determined by the victory we have won, for me personally that victory in gambling is when we can control emotions.
Gambling is not based on a victory because in my opinion gambling is a way to get pleasure. When we can get pleasure, we have won.

[MFahad]

Winning in gambling has a broad meaning. It could not be literaly making profit in every bet you made in general, because you cant really win everytime, and even if you win today and tomorrow, you'd still comeback on the other day If youre into gambling real hard. Gambling are supposed to be just for fun and making a profit out of it is just a bonus. So, imho winning in gambling is, being satisfied with the outcome after you walk out of the casino, no matter if you had muliplied or lost your capital.

No doubt in it, gambling has a broad meaning, we have a lot of sentence to explain about the definition of gambling. But in short, every gambler explain about it, what we want from gambling. Just like for me, i spend my time with gambling because of fun and entertainment with my friends.
But in the other side an addicted gambler play gambling for earn money and his definition will be about gambling that gambling is a source of money where we could earn money in a minute.

[meanwords]

For me, winning in gambling doesn't really have much meaning. Once you gamble, dopamine will control you and will try to tell you to gamble for more. It doesn't matter how much money you win, you'll only use it again to gamble. I think it's about that game that makes you a winner. As long as you are having fun and doesn't really care much about how much you profit, you are winning.

[swogerino]

Winning in gambling cannot be defined to what it is as long as we have not seen anyone yet making a living full time from gambling as it is impossible.

I know about some persons posting in different gambling blogs and forums of how make a living from gambling but they are only statements of different individuals and they are not true stories which would let us define the winning in gambling.

[coin-investor]

There are two types of gamblers, those who gamble for money and those who gamble for the excitement, there are some gamblers who even if they lose is satisfied in  how they play and there are who wins but never get the satisfaction because in the back of his mind his past losses are higher than his winnings hard to define winning in gambling.

The definition of gambling is not determined by the victory we have won, for me personally that victory in gambling is when we can control emotions.
Gambling is not based on a victory because in my opinion gambling is a way to get pleasure. When we can get pleasure, we have won.

If you already satisfied such enjoyment that you've desired and you are capable to quit after, we can call that as winning, not unless you are such addicted and you can't no longer define what are the reason why you are dealing with this activity, most of the time people who's looking for quick way to earned are those who can't survive addictions.

Depends on what you value more. If you are playing for fun, no amount of loss should make you feel bad.

That's correct, therefore we should convince ourselves that gambling is only for fun.

If you  want to earn money though, winning is when you made a profit on your capital. Something that is difficult to maintain in the long run.

With the house edge, it seems impossible.
Gambling is not a place for people who are ambitious to win big but lack of skills, you have to be smart in order to win and that requires dedication.

For winning in gambling indeed It is surely now possible to earn if you are not having any idea about what you are doing and what you will do in case of being stuck by the opponent gambler, for winning in gambling means having whole command over rules and over the mind of other gambler to win and beat him with your skills at his weakness and mistakes.

That's a very nice definition, it shows your maturity towards gambling and you understand your chances of winning.
If you will stay discipline and do it with the purpose of having fun, I'm sure you will enjoy everytime you gamble as any loss will not affect your negatively.

I think the only time one should look at gambling as a fway of earning money is if the person don't have to spend his own to play. I've seen on show that there arrangements like that, people pool their money and have someone play for them. The "investors" get their share and the player is given his commission. If they went bust then the player losses nothing and the financiers don't lose much.

They got addicted because of money, if the purpose is having fun then they will choose video game to fulfill his passion. I haven't met someone who really use gambling as for having fun only, most of them play gambling just for money, just it. They got addicted because they have been losing a lot of money so as they will try hard to recover it. Because of this, I just believe that the definition of winning is when a gambler won and got a lot of money so as they can recover the money has been spent before.

Every people have their own measure or objective on how much they want to gamble.
Personally I stop gambling or winning when I reach 10% profit from initial deposit.

Yes, it's small but if I can do it every day, it's yield more than you can obtain from bank's interest

That is very true mate; I think my own definition of winning in gambling is having that feeling of utmost contentment and fulfillment in the game irrespective of the amount gained. Maybe because I gamble for pleasure but I do not give up until am satisfied on the game and been satisfied is not as a result of money, there’s just this point I would feel like I’ve done enough for the day and am happy with our without winnings, that kind of feelings is what I call Wining

This will only apply to people who view gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a method of earning a quick buck or as a scapegoat to answer debts/payments. Like what you guys said, no matter how large the losses may be, if the person sees gambling that provides him/her satisfaction then no amount of loss could ever make them feel bad.
The only problem that both people have is addiction. In order to win in gambling, the key here is to have self-control and discipline.

That was right, having self-limitation and be contented as what you have set amount that you have to afford in a gamble. Whether win or lose if you've reached the limit you should stop right there. That is your winning definition in gambling because you know that it is for fun to you and get entertainment on your self not chasing your losses or think that gambling is your source of income, which is a big mistake.

For me gambling is game which give you fun for money. You put in your money, play gambling and have fun. If you go with this mindset then there will be no issues even if you lose, because you have already made up your mind that you will spend money to enjoy the fun of gambling and any win in gambling will be considered as a bonus.

Yeah because win is not just about profits in the form of money right ? Winning can be mean as you feel happy also when playing
gambling, win is when your goals in gambling are fulfilled, yeah many people have a goal to find pleasure in gambling

[kawetsriyanto]

Winning has one definition; victory.
However, the meaning of victory for everybody is different, it is also in the gambling.
In gambling itself, IMHO, winning means where we can manage and control ourselves being involved in gambling, not only about winning on the game but also winning on how we can see the prospect, the strategy, and also the chance to win. It is about how we can gain certain profits, not for greedy.

[ballerin and giroud]

The definition of gambling for me is when I feel satisfied which mean either I lose or I get profit. Gambling just for an entertainment for me, I don't care how much money I spent when I start to gambling and how much money I get when I have a lot of win, because my intenstion is feeling satisfied, feeling happy and feeling that gambling is one of the place that can make me calm down.
