GAMBLING: Skill-based vs. Chance-based

[kawetsriyanto]

I think you don't be stuck in chance-based games only, sometimes skill-based games can be more interesting and funnier if you know how to play them well. So, expanse your knowledge even to skill-based games.

It is a choice. Try to expanse on skill-based games is okay, but it is no problem if he only wants to play in luck-based games. There are some gamblers who feel comfortable playing luck-based games, they don't require too much effort in thinking. I think we must appreciate them, it is acceptable as long as they are happy. Not all people have a serious goal in gambling, some only want to have fun. In this matter, to expanse knowledge on another gambling category isn't a very crucial thing.

Gambling is simple if you don't chase profit from it.

Unfortunately, it is not as simple as we assume. Most people target profits (money) when they are starting to gamble. You must realize that people come to gambling sites mostly for money, only a few people who gamble for fun only. I have some friends who play gambling regularly, and none of them who play for fun only.

Indeed, the reality is that more people play gambling because they really want to make a profit, there are even some people who think that
playing gambling is an instant way to get rich. So it's not surprising that many people end up addicted, that's why playing gambling is not
as simple as we imagine. We sometimes have to control ourselves when gambling, because it is not easy to control ourselves when playing gambling,
especially when we experience losses. Always comes to mind to cover the losses that we experience and that is the beginning of the problem.

If they think that playing gambling is an instant way to get rich, they are not fully wrong because we can see that some people can have their luck to win big money in some gambling games. But that will not work for most gamblers because that will depend on how good their luck is. The number of people who become addicted is also increasing because they think that playing gambling does not need much to prepare, so they still play even if they already lose their money. If they lose in the chance-based gambling games, they will try playing skills-based gambling games because who knows, they can win some money and recover their loss.

I also know from several articles on the internet that there are indeed some people who become millionaires after winning the lottery. This means
that gambling can make someone rich instantly, but that's because that person is lucky. But don't let it be because of knowing that we are obsessed
with wanting to get rich instantly and every day just thinking about winning the lottery. That means we're addicted and that's not a good thing.
That's why I suggest don't think that gambling is an instant way to get rich, so we are not even obsessed with winning the lottery, even if we win,
consider it a bonus because we are lucky. But if we fail, we will not be burdened to continue to pursue victory.

It's a choice that gamblers need to decide. Some might want to stay with luck based games and enjoy
while others wanted to explore and try using their knowledge to take advantages, most of the time,
gamblers who aimed for money choose to play with skill-based games, as they know that understanding the
game gives them a good chance to win over another.

Both types of games are enjoyable if you only looking for entertainment, but if you are on the other side, both also dangerous as addictions will hit you up.

Yes, gambling can make some people become millionaires but if we compare it with the losing people, the number will still be bigger than the losing people as those people who win a lot of money can win the games because of their luck. When you become obsessed because reading the articles about someone becoming a millionaire, you will play gambling and always think about winning that much money. You will try to play many gambling games, whether it is based on skill or chance, because your obsession is to win and become the next millionaire.
Gambling is not an instant way to get rich, but gambling can be your instant way to get poor because of losing money.

Playing with the games that you are familiar with and easy to play, is a good decision. Don't force yourself to play in skill-based games. You can try them when you already have some knowledge about skill-based games then. I think you don't be stuck in chance-based games only, sometimes skill-based games can be more interesting and funnier if you know how to play them well. So, expanse your knowledge even to skill-based games. 

It's okay to keep on trying without forcing yourself into games that you're not good with. But if you are eager to be good at that skill or luck-based, you have to keep on doing it.

The more games you know and good at playing with, much better.

[Wakate]

For me all gambling games were all risky whether it's skill-based or chance-based, the difference between skill-based and chance-based is you will not see the win probability in skill-based and in chance-based you can see but both are just the same but I think sports betting is much popular but very prone to fix games or cheating.

Cheating is limited when it comes to sport games and it's a skilled base game that many gamblers can easily gamble on without much risk and the betting platform does not have the skill to know the correct outcome of the results. I think sport games are more harder for gambling sites to manipulate cause the results is always obvious and universal. It requires less or no skill to forcast the sport games.

It boils down to your real purpose, I mean, just do what you love to do, besides, gambling is created for entertainment purposes. However, if you are serious and you would really like to be consistent in making money, then I guess you should focus on skilled-based games and focus on few games only, so you can master what you are doing.

It's actually for both.

Cannot be removed the reason by those gamblers that are doing it for their another source. It cannot be denied that there are people that are going through with that.

Of course, no one would gamble without having fun, and no gambler would have fun if he loses, that's common sense I guess. However, we just have to look at the reality that most gamblers believe they can use their skills in a wrong game, just like bettors playing a roulette thinking they have 50/50 chance where in fact the house edge of a roulette game is high, except for the black or red betting.

Since I dont great in any skill-based gambling games, I just play with my luck like dice and slot machine games.

but skilled games are safer than just something we love to play in which Luck based games.
imagine you will just play slot machines or roulette because those are your game that loves to play but the question is, you are winning, or mostly losing.

but in Skilled based game you have more chances of winning mate as long as you know how to try learning this deeply and can make you winner more often than losing .

It's the usual thing for gamblers.

We're too confident to do things that we think we're good at even though that we aren't. That's why we're gamblers and ready to do things even it's not for us.

Some people will prefer to select skilled-based gambling games as they know more about them than other gambling games. Besides that, they think they will have many chances to win on that skill-based because they already know how to do with the games and try to win. At least, if they can learn more details about the game from many lessons, they can increase their chances to win. But we know that both skilled-based and chances-based have a risk and we should know to prevent the big risk.

Gambling is not an instant way to get rich, but gambling can be your instant way to get poor because of losing money.

It really can happen if the gambler has no good self-control and use inappropriate way in gambling. That's why a gambler must be aware of the risks in gambling and choose the right way to avoid huge losses + addictions. In this matter, both skill-based and chance-based games have the same risks leading people to get poor instantly. If someone is too obsessed with being rich through gambling, he probably ends up losing all money and be stressed. In reality, I have seen many gamblers who ended with bad stories.

[Saint-loup]

I am not pro gambler but for me it depends upon the game you're playing. If I am playing cards tongits, I must manage my card well because it will not always be a good card ahead. My mother plays lotto loke keno and swertres, she has some analizations but failed most of the time. But for me playing lotto is more on luck because we cannot really predict it like dice results. All in all we should still enjoy when we are playing. Choosing what to play and where we think we are good at is also important.

I don't know all your philippine games but you're right at lotto and keno you can not predict the results as dice games but at least you know your exact chances of winning unlike card games and other skill based games. Then you know what you are paying for.

Op didn't in any way of his submission talk about risk or not risk in his submission and I wonder why the main point of your response here center on how both the chance based is risky and the skill-based is risky for we all that gambling generally is risky. You should know that nothing in general is free of risk and is out that risky situation that do making a living and not taking risk is the most risky decision.

There is that old joke about gambling to just illustrate this.There was a king and had a son who started drinking alcohol and the people near the king told him about his son,the king said no problem.The son then started going with women,prostitutes and the king also said there is no problem.When the son started to gamble the king said,stop him immediately as he is going to destroy us all.

This joke illustrates perfectly that gambling does not look at who you are and most people who do not have a great self control can easily fall under addiction from gambling.

I love you illustration with that particular story for have head it before but the truth of the matter is that if the make good return from playing gambling they will all benefits from it. We should have it at the back of our mind that odd of the game is always against the players but be that as it may, good numbers of people are still making money from playing gambling.

Sad thing is it isn't even a joke imo, what the king said was perfectly reasonable, it WILL destroy them. Gambling is like a plague, it doesn't just damage one person, it damages everything around that person slowly but surely.

Some people will prefer to select skilled-based gambling games as they know more about them than other gambling games. Besides that, they think they will have many chances to win on that skill-based because they already know how to do with the games and try to win. At least, if they can learn more details about the game from many lessons, they can increase their chances to win. But we know that both skilled-based and chances-based have a risk and we should know to prevent the big risk.

Honestly, there's no such thing as "skill-based" gambling games, it's still dependent on your luck imo. If they were looking for something they can win by having more knowledge about it, gambling isn't the game for them. Yes, I know what skill-based gambling games are, but those are still called "gambling" games, see my point? They might just be better off playing games like Hearthstone and participating in tournaments and the like.

Gambling is not an instant way to get rich, but gambling can be your instant way to get poor because of losing money.

It really can happen if the gambler has no good self-control and use inappropriate way in gambling. That's why a gambler must be aware of the risks in gambling and choose the right way to avoid huge losses + addictions. In this matter, both skill-based and chance-based games have the same risks leading people to get poor instantly. If someone is too obsessed with being rich through gambling, he probably ends up losing all money and be stressed. In reality, I have seen many gamblers who ended with bad stories.

A gambler who is often playing gambling can have a big obsession to win much money from gambling. But that can prevent by having control over himself to prevent his mind from thinking about his obsession. Self-control will indeed be a must-have for every gambler to prevent anything from becoming worse without controlling it. As long as he does not lose control over himself, he will be okay playing gambling and not worry about losing big money because he will have a chance to prevent that thing happens.

Games in which your winnings depend on your skills are safer for your psyche.  Why are gambling dangerous?  They lead to the development of learned helplessness. 

Acquired helplessness is a state in which a person believes that nothing depends on his actions.  This applies not only to the game itself.  In games, a person masters behavior strategies that he uses in real life.  Learned helplessness can negatively affect all areas of human life. 

It's another matter if gambling is based on human skills.  The player can improve himself and achieve success in gambling. 

This strategy is very useful in all spheres of human life.

Actually both are dangerous (skilled-based and luck-based), the only way to minimize or manage the risk is if you gamble responsibly, no one would survive if they are no responsible as in gambling, you can easily loss all your money and even the money that you are not suppose to gamble.

it is always given that Self control and having direction in gambling will save everyone from drowning .

also know your limit , put specific amount each time you gamble and never exceed from that.

also put time frame each playing , in case that you still not growing consider that this is not your day and try next time
