Why is it so hard to win at gambling?

[ultrloa]

Fantasizing to win a huge amount of money somehow slaps us on reality that we will struggle to get those winnings and we will reallt get a huge frustration when we chase up for wanting to recover up then gain even more. So to avoid experiencing this and get dismayed about those experience that we find hard to win om gambling we should gamble only on moderation and also set some limits because if we enjoy for sure we will think about those hardship and the one we notice is good experience about our gaming experience.

Casino games are designed that there are higher chances of you losing than winning. The negative expected value in gambling is what makes the casino money, without it casinos would go bankrupt. The first problem is to look at gambling as a form to make money and become rich. That's not the case, casinos are a form of entertainment and not a guaranteed win. You can also look at it this way: for you to be able to win big in casinos, you need others to lose. Getting away from the focus on winning makes it much easier to gamble regularly.
Gambling addiction is the most extrem negative consequence from excessive gambling which is terrible, especially if it's happen in our own family. So far I haven't met anybody with this addiction but I read many articles about it. When it comes helping a family member with it, I think we can learn from other addictions like alcohol. We need to be aware that we can't change somebody, he has do it himself, they only thing we can do is help and support. Telling a family member that we love him and we want to help him in his struggle is important. This of course doesn't mean we should enable him, like don't lend him money. Rather offer him to take care of his finances for him, if he can't control his own money anymore. Having fixed budgets for every part in life could help a lot.

Hello good day to all the members in this forum, Did you know that even if you win at gambling, you lose as well? Don't you think that's how it happened? and that’s the thing that I'd like to tackle about this topic, Because it’s hard to win at gambling, now if you want to know why? Join the conversation here.

 Honestly, I haven't seen a banker or a casino close; the bettor always loses; why is that?
~

One word. Emotion.

Banker or casino owners are playing with our emotion. Bankers are playing with the gambler's emotion.
This is the reason why even though gamblers are winning consecutive times, in the end they will lose all of their money. It's because gamblers find it hard to control their emotion. Gamblers are losing money because they don't have the control of their emotion. Emotion is the reason why gamblers are making reckless decision sometimes.

This is the reason why bankers and casino are always winning. If only most of the gamblers know how to control their emotions. Some find it hard to win in gambling because they don't know when to stop, and again it's because of their emotions.

Now let's not prolong this conversation; what if one of your family (Father, Mother, Brother-Sister, or Wife) or relative (Uncle, Auntie) is addicted to gambling or becomes addicted? What do you do? Here is my answer as follows,

- Don't feel guilty

- Never ever blame yourself for their Addiction

Yes, why would you blame yourself for their mistake? I agree with that. It's their problem and as much as possible don't let them receive anything from you especially money when they are suffering from an addiction problem. What you could do is offer them help instead. Push them into how they could forget about it or lessen it.
I played a lot of casino base online games but I knew to myself I never went to a point that I could not end it. There must be a limit to everything.

when someone already knows their passion, they just assume it's a habit, usually from trying. The thread you mentioned is true and fortifies anyone and is informative. No one knows when the prediction is wrong. In the game, I think the capital will be maintained even though the profit has run out and it doesn't come back. Assume there is a reserve fund for tomorrow and don't take other funds to play tomorrow. That's what I have observed from several players who have given their experience poor across the world of gambling.

This is true. We are becoming greedy once we are on the winning streak that makes us want for more profit until we got busted. The casino wants us to play more so that we will lose eventually that's how gambling works. The result is always in favor to the casino because they are just serving the game while players deals a lot of emotion problem that causes massive loss for them.

I always feel this greediness whenever I loss already a significant amount of my bank roll. The more I play, the more I loss that's why I always keep my gambling activities short as possible.

Winning in P2P gambling isn't that hard if we are more skilled than our opponent.  It will be a walk in the park for sure.  But if we intend to beat the house that set up the rule then that is a different story.  

Beating the house is not hard but next to impossible if we keep on playing.  Even if we are winning the session if we keep on playing we will end up at a loss.  One way to beat the House is to quit when you are winning and never come back but I bet that would be impossible to never come back .

We can only feel guilty if we are the ones who encourage our family members to gamble but if it has nothing to do with us, it would be unfair to blame ourselves.

Winning in gambling is as easy as shelling pears - for example, make 10 bets on any event with odds of 1.9 and you will win about 5 times. Another thing is that gambling is difficult to be and remain profitable. But in fact, this is not a problem, since gambling exists not for making money, but for entertainment, so just treat gambling as entertainment (paid) and you will not be tormented by such problems.

[rahmad2nd]

basically gambling is entertainment, be it traditional or online gambling which has been viral in recent years.  we need to realize that every human being has a bad side is greed, even that we often experience in any form.  The most important point that I usually apply and do is:
1 that gambling is entertainment nothing more.  
2 is very necessary luck and patience.  
3 You must know when to stop.  make it as your grip so as not to become a very deep damage.  
the most important point is: never interfere with your routine to carry out obligations such as work and others.

Now, I'd like to know your additional perception of this discussion; let us share our knowledge
to grow more here, your opinion, advice, or suggestion is much appreciated.

Most people know that engaging in gambling is risky to lose, that's the main concept, 99% of gamblers know that, why do people keep doing it and keep betting even if they lose or occasionally win.

I remember one of the sources I've ever read, the person answered the question perfectly, I think the answer is very suitable for this topic, I've quoted below.

Gambling gives great hope to its members, just imagine once gambling can get money up to 1 billion, but in reality it is not as easy as what we think.
Even if you use a strategy, the ending is sad. A person continues to gamble because he has a dream to make millions of dollars in a short time, he is given a big win, after that he was given a defeat, because he felt he had won big, so he continued to play in the hope that he would win the game.
Continue like that until the Day of Judgment. However, the lucky and rich person is the bookie.

$200 of profit from the sale, is worth more than $100 thousand on the gambling table. Nothing can stop someone from gambling, except you yourself.
Look for a lawful activity or business, gradually you will stop gambling.
Indeed to stop gambling can't be done quickly, it takes a long period of time, but if you really intend to stop, there must be a way.

The quote above can reflect and make for gambling addicts, why they are so difficult to win and realize the meaning of gambling.

I wont really feel guilty obviously but will better try my best to get them out of it. But yes its so hard when its to deal with others, but I feel its my responsibility to guard / save those whom I am depended or who depends on me. So yes, Its my responsibility to get them out of Gambling.

You have said, a better will always loose. I am not sure on it but have a question, if a better is born to loose then why should there be a slot there as a better?

[BobK71]

 Honestly, I haven't seen a banker or a casino close; the bettor always loses; why is that?
And when we win, how do we feel like that? Isn't it the joy we feel, and we still want to win more and more? And when we feel like this, it is called Greed. So, in other words, the real winner is the Banker and not the gambler, so even if you win 30 times and on the 31st you bet on all the results, you lose, which means it doesn't matter what you won 30 times.

I just want to share a real life experience. I went to a casino in Singapore a few years ago. I and 2 friends got excited to play a game in casino. I made about $1700 profit a day playing a game and then I left the place. At that night when I came home and fell uncomfortable to get more chance. I just wanted to go the casino. My mind was anxious to visit this casino again and again. I was there as a tourist, my other two friends stay there. I persuaded them to go again the next day and lost about $900. Immediately i get out form the casino.

There I realized that maybe at first It gave me a chance to win and later I started losing most of games.

[bitbollo]

it is hard to win because people doesn't have a "scientific approach" or a professional approach to the gambling.
I think that addiction in gambling is a serious issue that could create a lot of other problem in real life, like drug addiction or any other dependance.
Here there is not "overdose" but it could be really easy waste big sum of money in a short time that sounds equally as a complete disaster for the well being of a person.

The feeling of greed from the previous win seems to be very low and you think you can get 2x higher profits the next day, so in the end you feel you have lost more than half of the previous profit. you are still lucky because you can cover losses so you don't incur big losses, so you still get profits even though they are lower than the remaining losses due to not being able to control greed.

[Pandu Geddon]

people who are addicted to gambling see only a great obsession to win. just try your luck from the experience you have at the gambling table. That is what makes most gamblers become very greedy and have no control.
This is a game, of course, there are winners and losers. I don't think people will always lose the game if they want to learn. what makes us stuck losing at the gambling table is our ignorance to stop and feel satisfied.

Reaching for things that we desire without control could usually lead to too much greed which results in gambling addiction. The mindset of winning after betting a lot is wrong. There are times that our winnings would rely on our luck. One common mistake of gamblers is that they bet without limit. If we know how to put control emotionally and financially on gambling, we're still far from gambling addiction.

[Newlifebtc]

Gamblers expected to win whenever they bet game either from internet or from the other side of gambling offline what you have in mind is to win and get from someone who lose. But it is not like that because gambling is very hard to win because it is luck and the most luckiest person is entitled to win. The hardiness of winning from gambling started from the prediction

[Doell]

The fact is like that, gamblers are very hard to win in gambling because they are inexperienced or do not understand the strategy tricks and tips. So experience and knowledge are the main things in gambling, we may not be aware of the concept but gambling is not just about multiply your money, but still controlling the game with your money.
To be honest my brothe last year became an irresponsible gambler, without known by he family. He was broke to the point of losing his job, but every human being has common sense and a clear mind. Finally he was able to be free from addiction and it was because of family support, so was not left alone but was given advice and thought cleanly.

at times gambling will go out from some people like or as entertainment. Some people take gambling as hubby of making money and we know that what is involve in the physical gambling is fate ship power to win because it is a game of luck, the patient now in gambling had turn to another thing if care is not taken

thanks, the advice you give is good advice. I'm lucky that I don't have other family members (father, mother, brother, uncle) who are addicted to gambling

but if one of my family became a gambling addict then I would definitely try to advise them to try to control themselves and reduce their desire to play gambling
