Fate or lack of control - Gambling

[Silberman]

Some used to pacify themselves with the term it is their fate to loss in gambling. Some say it is the lack of control that makes them loss big. Here I'm taking this into discussion relative to the game - Dice.

Same as this some used to mention winning as fate and some term the same as luck. I believe win out of dice is trick, and right exit strategy.

What is the truth in this regard, because users like me are always go lack of control even when luck is on our side. End of the day used to pacify thyself terming it as our fate and move on. Hope you guys don't do this mistake.

It is simple probabilities, the casinos have an edge on their games, you can think of this as a way for the casino to remain in business otherwise they will have to close down and you will be unable to gamble anymore in that casino, but what this does is that while on the short term there can be extreme fluctuations, like when you flip a coin 10 times and 10 times in a row you get heads, over the long term the probabilities to win should be close to the predicted probabilities, so for example if you flip a coin 10 million times it will come up heads roughly 5 million times.

It's because that is the only "logical" explanation for gamblers, if they lose.

Everything is still base on luck. If you are winning then stop and enjoy it. And don't push yourself to win more as lady luck will not shine on you for a extended period of time, specially in a game like dice.

I personally believe that huge losses are caused by people lacking the self-control needed to mitigate these losses. It's always guaranteed that when you gamble, at some point you will incur losses, and it is up to you the gambler, on how you will act about it. Wise and responsible gamblers will think twice about gambling more, not because they are cowards, but because they know they can only gamble money that they can afford to lose.

It's too hard to predict the winning outcome because the code only giving a random number if you are trying to use this code in programming this object gives you a random number

Code:

Random random = new Random();  

and if you are trying to make sure the outcome all you need is to set a parameter or just a limit on your codes to make sure the outcome will just depend on your decision lets say you want to set the outcome into just a 10 and 20 with the use of the code of

Code:

random.Next(min, max); 

all you need is to set the parameter with the range you want

Code:

random.Next(10, 20); 

and it will generate random between these numbers. Well, I just show the possible process but if you are the developer of a gambling platform all the outcome still depends on the head manager.


I think those people who want to play gambling depends on their beliefs and fate on their gambling skills, but I think we need to consider too the possible outcome if we cant control ourselves on exceeding too much playing.

Yes, huge losses are because people lose control of themselves and do not enjoy gambling as entertainment. If they always remember that gambling is part of how to enjoy this life, they will not gamble out of the limit, instead always controlling their money and stop at the right time. When we gamble, we must know how much money we will use and don't try to add more money when we lose because that can attract us to gamble for more and lose more money. If we win, that will be our luck, and if we can, we should stop the game and leave the place before our minds change.

gambling is like a society . there are rich and poor so if you are rich you can gamble huge sums and you can loose this sums if you are in badluck but this dont mean you dont have a self control of course because you can stop the moment you lost all that huge capital you prepare . when it comes to enjoyment we also have different enjoyment because some are poor but they enjoy gambling if they bet huge amount . lastly there are people that they feel they are weak if they cant bet huge or limit them selves in gambling

[robelneo]

For me, it's both, lack of control and fate, gambling is basically a game of luck you can lose all of it in just one round or one bet if luck is not on your side, for the most part, control of your urge plays a big factor too, you should know how and when to stop when luck is on your side, because if you do not and you cannot your luck will run out and you will regret it later.

[bitzizzix]

Entering into gambling is tantamount to determining fate and there is only a choice of winning or losing bets, so before playing we must be able to read ourselves and our abilities.
Control is the main thing in gambling, don't get carried away in the game and stay calm and try to play casually, because emotions and ambitions always surround us in gambling and it's best to rest if they can't be controlled, to avoid more losses.
playing with emotion and not being controlled is a trap that the house always wins.

It is both luck and lack of control that causes people to lose everything in gambling. And people always tends to forget that casinos always have an edge over their player. In the long run, it is always the casino that will win. Hence, when someone manages to make some profit, they should stop playing, take their profit and leave. The longer they keep on playing, the higher the chance of them losing everything. So I would say, lack of control is what mainly brings the disaster.

I think it's both since you can't decide what's next to roll over that dice and if you are in loss you can't afford to lose or a win that's already good to be keep then that's lack of control. There are things we can control and those we can't as well.

Sorry but is there really someone's accepted that it is FATE that they lose?

Exactly , exit strategy is the important way to win in gambling , even if you only win small amount but you have to quit if you felt like Luck is not on your side.

I still trust Luck and Self control , that is what i am relying in gambling.

[Questat]

If you do believe in just fate alone, you'll never learn to improve because it could be a great excuse to justify your mistakes. Gambling is risky, and we know that from the very start, therefore we gamble with a game plan and all we do is just implement it exactly as we plan it, outside that, that's what you called out of control or lack of control (whichever) and it will destroy your life as a gambler.

[mu_enrico]

Fate means your destiny, and your destiny will be always yours to make, so if you lose in gambling, it is your fault, not your fate. It's more acceptable to say that a gambler losses his money because of lack of control that leads to huge losses in the long run.

If he'll say that it is his fate so it is unavoidable to happen, that's just him making an excuse to gamble again with the same habit that he has when he started playing gambling.

Amen brother, blaming fate means taking no responsibility for your own actions. People tend to blame "outside forces" for their own failure while praising "inside qualities" for their success (read about the "locus of control").

Anyway...

If you lose in gambling, it's because the game is designed that way. You will lose in the long run, if you play long enough, doesn't matter if you have self-control like a Shaolin Monk, you will still lose. lol.

When you experience luck, you should enjoy and be wise withdrawing your profit and winnings. It is not always the lucky days, one Moderator in a particular gambling site once told me that if you are lucky today with dice and the next day you aren't, do  not push to play it again because the winning seed for that game might be depleted already.

You may want to try other games if your lucky days on dice has finished, that's what I am doing. Instead of sticking in one game, playing other games can also be the othe option.

[Shasha80]

Regarding Dice, the game is that really depends on luck, because during the 3 years I played Dice there was no proven strategy. All the strategies
I use, none of which can work in the long run, therefore Dice is just for fun. And I don't believe what determines the outcome of Dice is fate, because
fate can change depending on what we have done. When it comes to losing in the Dice game due to lack of control it still makes sense, because indeed
we will lose control when winning streaks or losing streaks. So the conclusion is don't play Dice have the burden of having to win, playing Dice is just
for entertainment. And when we've won big enough, stop immediately, because if it continues it will suffer losses.

[Pmalek]

I really don't think the universe or God (if you believe in God) decided that you will lose on Dice. Those are excuses that people come up with to make their personal losses or failures seem to be out of their control. You decide what to do. It was not written in the stars.

Gamblers lose money for various reasons:
- They are unlucky.
- They are never satisfied with what they got or won, and they want more.
- They don't understand that the house edge in every game will eventually work against them.

If you won once or twice, you are already performing better than many other players. Don't push it. Take your money and spend it on something you need away from the tables and the machines.

I know for all of us here this is about stats and maths and probability and luck,,, but I grew up in a culture where fate is everything and even those who are not religious believe this about life, like it is a way of life more so than a belief, and that you can affect your luck and fate especially with karma.

Which is why sometimes I feel myself I should not gamble more than I can afford as that is bad karma:)

It's ok to lose control if you are playing for fun, fun is having out of control and being entertained, but what is wrong is putting your money that is meant to be your savings and your allocation, when you play what you can afford to lose, it's ok to lose control as long as you will not go home sorry for playing.

The case is different if your losing to much money on it and you will not get any fun anymore if you lose and chasing. Sometimes we feel to play but have fun but ending we get stress counting the money we lost although this is not applicable to anybody especially they are rich but this is common scenario happening to small bettors.

[Vaculin]

Games that are won solely by luck is mostly depends on your faith, however, you need to be smart in your bankroll management and controlling it wisely so you will not lose more than you can afford to lose.

Lack of control in gambling will make it a high risk activity for you as you will never get satisfied if you win and you will not give up if you loss.

Discipline is very important, there's no way we can win in gambling in the long run, so we have to be realistic and that's the first thing we have to do, understanding our chances so we can make the right decision.
