This is true that in majority of the games you need to have luck only and strategies generally do not work. Though in few strategies does work but if combined with luck you would end up on a very high chances of winning from that game. So play wisely.

OK but that's only possible in a real game where decks are used. In a online game it's a pure gambling or I'm wrong?

The online game is also a real game with same decks used. It is also pure gambling and there is literally nothing impure in it. (LOL) You should verify your own bets on third party verifier sites to make sure that they were not manipulated by the site and are mathematically fair rolls/hands.

I would say EV+ when real game and EV- on online sites

Wrong.

Strategies dont increase chances. People think that they do because people like to make themselves look like geniuses. They are actually fools who dont understand that in gambling the house always wins and trying to beat the house the player will end up losing a lot.

Well consider the things outside of the actual game. Like the amount of money you'll put in. Or the amount of time you'll play. These are things that you can control and are also essential in any kind of gambling game. Having a strategy helps you be in control in most situations.

Yes, I believe that. We only can win if we have luck. That is the most important thing in gambling games. The strategies cannot always work in the game if you don't have luck but luck will always work in gambling.

I think many gamblers realize about that, but they decide to continue and hope that their luck will be coming to them so they can win, but the truth only makes them lose again.

Strategies can help in gambling but not helping you win huge amount of money as gambling is purely based on luck. One of the strategy that may work is use small amout of money that you can afford to lose rather than using all your money and small amount only return in which did not reach the half of your capital and it's not good. Small amount = gamble = Fun = Win (if lucky enough) = more fun.

Gambling is a game of luck and I don't see anything strategies in it.
~snip~

I would not define it that way, it's not a game luck, otherwise we have no chance to win.
Strategy can still apply but not on a luck based game, your luck cannot make your consistent but with your strategy, it will make your consistent and you might last longer. Focus on games which you can use your skills, these are luck based games, sports is one good example.

Even strategy will not help you much on gambling and i have never seen anyone who is consistent in winning through strategy.
I have total difference experience from it. Gambling is 100% luck based and no strategy worked for me for long term.  You may win few games based on strategy but then again you will start to lose.

There's a strategy that can maintain your control in the game, that strategy exists in gambling. I know it's really risky to play in gambling but if you might control the game, you can win but sometimes loses and that losing is just a bit of your money. Therefore, there's a little profit you're gaining in this game sometimes it's huge.

Strategy in gambling was just to serve as a guidance for gambler not win because what  determine ones winning in gambling is the level ones knowledge in terms of knowing the in depth of the game rules, luck and stop/take a break whenever it seems right.

Gambling is mixed of both luck & strategy.You need to be strategic and also having a luck will give you tons of profit.Sometimes gambling is just luck or sometimes I feel it is Strategic.So I believe this is mixed of both luck and strategy.           

[Pffrt]

Strategy doesn't work at gambling. I will say it a totally luck. I have seen people to use some strategy but at the end of the day nothing works. No one can sure a 100% winning deal.

Find a way when to stop like setting an amount that you are willing to lose no matter what happens. If I'm a successful gambler, my strategy to is to use the money that I've won into something that I can benefit like buying things that I need, invest it somewhere or save it if I have nothing to do with it. And as for quitting, you need the will power to do it and if you can have it alone, talk to your friends or ask any relative to help you to get out of it and join their company.

Either of the two, I guess. Realistically the industry is based purely on Luck (not unless, a gambler could decode such flaws in a game). Basically, strategy do only works on card games especially poker. A good game plan or strategy would literally give a player an edge towards its opponents. In example, Bluffing or Body movement reading, We all poker is also considered a mind game if you can read your opponents movement then basically the chances of winning is increasing. Though, luck would still be factor nonetheless. But, playing with your opponents mind could be an advantage. For that, strategy is an essential to the Game.


For slot machines, roullettes, and etc. Well I guess that's pure Luck (+intense prayer and rituals, Haha).

At any time it should be strictly followed, you are gambling with the amount of what you can afford, it's responsible gambling.

You will not count it a win until you end your session, normally successful gamblers have target and they choose a game where they can utilize their skills, and it should be a game where there is no house edge. Winning does not happen all the time, but with target, you will be satisfied and will be able to quit on time.

I don't know about it but there are a lot of games you can try that don't require luck.

I asked my friends about gambling addiction and surprisingly, they are aware of it even though I think they are already addicted. Though they are addicted, they said that they don't risk their money on luck-based games as there are a lot of other games that can depend on your analysis and knowledge like sports betting.

[MFahad]

I have seen a lot of people discussing about gambling strategies, are there really working strategies out there that can outrun the pace of losing.

They say that the house always wins, that i believe. I can see a handful successful people winning a lot of money, but a see a thousands or maybe millions of people getting addicted in Gambling even though they are losing small amount of money everyday, but when you some it up its already a retirement fund for you.

Well i'm one of those addicts, i still don't know when to stop, well i'm trying, but this and impulse to gamble is like my inner demon.

I'm trying to find the strategy to bet less, lose less and win more -  well if these is one out there.

If you are a successful gambler what is your strategy?

If you already quit gambling how did you overcome the sense and impulse to gamble again?

Well, we could say that sometime strategy work but not all the time. You know we use strategy in some games like sports, not in all games you could use strategy like dice. You should start sports betting, because in this type of games you have a chance to use strategy, but while mostly games are depend on luck.

Somehow there's an edge with strategy games like pokers and reality games like sports betting, you just need to select types of games where
you can apply your knowledge but still luck will influence the most in order for you to win, even a good analysis can be wrong when luck won't
accompany them from what they've think to win.

The gambler should follow his own rule if he's ever going to follow and commit rules like this one. Discipline would be the best tool to follow this kind of strategy, it would be easy for each individual if he's really pushing it.

Main rule, don't play a game that you are not good. There's also a bad side for setting a target, what if there's no way for you to reach that certain target that you have set? you will continue to reach that until you bust out.

Nope even in sportsbetting still strategy is not perfectly applicable because this is gambling and no one wins without a help or Luck never forget that,so even if you are good in strategies yet lucky must be on your side before you totally get the winnings that you need

I tend to agree with such statement.
There is no strategies when it comes to chance based games. Notion of strategy existence in gambling, can give us false understanding and unrealistic sense of security. Gambling technique or systems can be considered true but not tactics nor strategy is adequate here. Most of the time it all comes to "try and error" - pure luck, adding extra ideology to it is potentially dangerous and can bring unnecessary losses.

If we are talking about been a successful gambler you cannot ignore strategy and rely only on luck because strategy is what you bring you back to senses when the gamblers seems to be high. Dont get me wrong me, luck is needed in terms of winning while strategy is apply to secure what gambler winning and to prevent him from loosing/addiction.
