Why is it so hard to win at gambling?

[Razmirraz]

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.

Winning is not felt, while losing can be felt, which is why gambling players always lose. It's like if you've lost $50, you definitely don't accept it, and you'll try to play again in the hope of getting your capital back, if it's a percentage of 70% losing, 30% winning.

Gamblers are always in the subconscious when winning a lot, curiosity always arises in his mind this is his lucky day which makes him continue to play with bigger bets. Usually, after doubling the bet, it will continue to lose until the capital runs out. When capital runs out, usually gamblers are poisoned by curiosity and borrow money from friends to gamble again.

Gambling also requires strategy and being able to control emotions in conditions of winning or losing.

Just remember that casinos are made to make & earn money for themselves and they will never let you win. Why would they ? They are here for a business.
Even if you win a few games, they will make you lose others, and overall you will be at a loss if you do not have a plan. In order for you to win, you need to be focused and play with a greed-free mind. Either keep your profits aside or keep your seed money aside and play with profits only.
You will win some games while you will lose some games too but you will only be in the overall profit situation if you have some money and risk management skills.

Unless I was the one who introduced them to gambling, I don't see why I should blame myself for their addiction. I could be blamed for not helping them to recover, but that's it. The majority of gamblers who don't pay attention to their wins and losses are probably losing long-term. But if you are betting on sports and games that aren't exclusively luck-based, it's possible to maintain a healthy profit if you have patience and a professional attitude to only play when you are confident of the outcome. Not just to play for the sake of playing and risking your money unnecessarily.

I know a few guys who were successful athletes in their sports. Some of them are even coaches or ex-coaches. They have a very healthy attitude towards sports gambling and only gamble on the events whose teams they are familiar with. They understand local rivalries, they can get to information about injuries or out of form players that isn't always public, and know stuff like which teams and players don't like paying at a certain venue or under particular weather conditions. They make bets based on that and come out with decent profits. But that's not your average gambler nor do they have such a mindset.

Gambling addiction is as bad as any addiction, just know that in any betting the odds are for the house, not the gambler.
it should be a pleasure, if not and it is your case, and it will be a big problem, for you, and those around you.
and must seek help and there is no shame, no weakness in asking for help. And I'm sure there are many organizations or teams of professionals or people who can help you.

Do it for your loved ones, stop gambling before you become addicted and gambling just makes you have feelings. Losing makes you curious and winning makes you addicted, without realizing it, losing is more than winning and so on until the apocalypse.

Winning in gambling makes it too hard on us because its just all about luck and a little bit of strategies. And since we don't get lucky every time we gamble, the reason why we mostly lose than win. And knowing gambling is a form of business, and that the house has always an edge, so expect that they will always find ways to win over losing. And we always lose in gambling since it involves a higher risk.

[smartaction]

It is hard to win at gambling The reason is the greed in us. Greed often blinds us. A lot of times we can guess Win.  But when it comes to making extra profit, we push our conscience towards loss. That's why winning gambling is a difficult thing for us. All we have to do is pull the reins of greed. And you have to gamble with your conscience. Then it will be very easy for us to win in gambling.

Why is it hard to win in gambling? Well, because that is how it works. The system is designed mainly for the advantage of the gambling owners and if they set it in the opposite direction where the bettor has a high chance to win against them then they will not last a long time as there are lots of bettors but there is only one owner.

Now that we know this fact, let us not assume that we can win at all times in gambling but instead we can play gambling to get entertained and to relieve our stress from a whole day of working. When you enjoy effectively enjoy and feel good, that is what makes you a winner or that is the true definition of being a winner here in gambling.

It is important to not blame yourself for the addiction but at the same time it is important to understand that, you need to take responsibility for it, as long as you are not able to understand the reason why you are in the problem then you would have to take a step back. You do need a lot of professional help as well, apparently gambling addiction needs specific medicines which would make it easier for the user to get out of it.

You have to get your relatives, if they are addicted to understand the problem and seek medical attention, it's never to late to start you do realize that we have seen people taking their own lives over the years, this also may lead to them doing illegal stuff, therefore best way is to not try and be the professional yourself and go to the doctor.

With just sticking on the basic principle if there would be lots of winners then gambling industry wont really be that big because it does signifies that there are lots of losers than winners thats why whenever you do

tend to engage yourself on gambling then consider those money or funds to be lost completely thats why only use on the amount which you can afford to lose.Dont hope nor anticipate that you would make profits

with gambling, winning is just a bonus if you are lucky enough but most of the time on where people do really lost up in the end of the day.

OP when you mentioned about addiction of a family member in gambling and said of giving us answers , firstly I thought you were to ditch out solutions from such addiction for the addicted person but only to discover they are all part of a kind of advise to the family members benefit only.

As for winning in gambling it takes a lot of resistance from greed. How do I mean, many persons after winning a certain amount of money in a bet they placed instead if calling it a day, they rather grow a spontaneous believe that they could make more winning should they go on with extra more bets for the day only to end up losing even to their capital.

One funny part about gambling is that the money you won today is just a part of the total you have been losing in the past bets ever since you started gambling. I'll call that a return investment! Lol.

[Ratash]

In my opinion if someone is not able to make gambling as a hobby or does not have some spare money that he can afford to lose its better to stop gambling while he still can before it becomes an addiction, i agree with you that the bookmakers and the casinos allways win and in my opinion because the favourite odds most of the times are low and despite that there are many surprises in sports every day so wether you bet on the favourite or the underdog its still not favourable for us gamblers because if its the favourite you need to win multiple times to get a profit from your initial money and if its the underdog you barely win your bets that is why in my opinion betting is more a luck thing rather than how good you are at predicting.

many people forget the situation when they are excited because they are in a state of victory, It is this greed that causes many gamblers who ultimately end up losing. it is not easy for a gambler to be able to control himself but it can be learned slowly

a gamblers who wins big must stop if he wants the win to be complete, if he continues his gambling then he will definitely lose

That's why I never agreed to make gambling as a source of income, because from the beginning the gambling system was created for
the casino's advantage. So we are more likely to experience defeat, And that's a natural thing to happen to the majority of gamblers.
Therefore we must control ourselves so as not to get addicted when playing gambling, because if we get addicted to gambling we can be
sure our lives will be destroyed. Make gambling as entertainment only and as you say winning when gambling is considered a bonus.
So when there are people who are frustrated because of the difficulty of winning when gambling, it is because they do not understand
the world of gambling. Because any gambling game everything depends on our luck, and we must realize that, then there is no need to be
obsessed with winning when gambling.

It is difficult winning at gambling because of how the structure has been set where the odds of winning is highly in favour of the bookmakers. Contrary to the opinion that some unenlightened gamblers may hold that it is a fifty fifty chance (50/50), it is more of a ninety ten (90/10) situation. This is why winning is mostly attributed to luck for some.

Bookmakers/Casino House - these people/team are the ones who do make out profits in long term with so much losses out of their bettors or players and just like been said
above that this is a long time running profitable business and a big industry which is understandable that it is something that putting their players on disadvantage.

Winning or minding about it will really just push you to play even more thats why gambling is just for entertainment nothingless but people do really love
to go further into certain extent.

when it comes to sportsbetting, you have a "fight" with bookies. because not all odds that they will give will come true. but when it comes to casino classics, those luck-based games, the chance of winning is slim because it is based on luck plus you have the HE. so for me, if you are very familiar with the sports, like you live and breathe that sports, you have better chance of winning in sportsbetting. just take for example, how many times recently that bookies got it wrong when it comes to boxing? canelo vs bivol, pacquiao vs ugas, kambosos vs lopez...

The games at the casinos are designed to give a slight (or huge, depending on the game) advantage to the house. A gambler can choose to play in games that are closer to, say, 50/50, instead of really bad odds. Then, if you add some dedication, technique, and some bit of luck, you can actually win.

An example of this is David Walsh. He's an Australian that won his money gambling professionally all around the world. He opened MONA(Museum of Old and New Art) in Hobart, Tasmania, with part of the money he made gambling.

True , there is a lot of trap odds.

Making the game in sportsbetting looks like an easy winning but actually it's huge blow whenever you put your whole money in due the super low odds.
The point is to mastering your emotional feeling , once you have acquired that .. nomatter it's spirtsbetting or casino you would feel easy money everywhere.

I think gambling is something interesting.  What I mean is of course gambling is a game that gets our adrenaline pumping.  One of the things that makes gambling a popular game is the curiosity of a human being.  I think this is the most essential thing.  When we bet, it is because we are curious about the actual outcome that will happen whether it is the same as what we expected or not.  That's what makes gambling interesting in my opinion.  And of course, we have to be able to not get addicted to gambling because that would be something bad, especially for your money. 

[gunhell16]

I don't understand why blaming yourself and feel guilty for others fault is an option for a to do list when someone in a family member is addicted to gambling.

Real talk only, Sometimes people gamble that when they are confronted they turn the situation around, and they say I'm not like this before, you're pressuring me to make money fast and that's the only way to know, in other words, if sometimes they are even released when they are addicted to gambling, where in the end you or we are the bad and fault. And sometimes the family of the gambling addict will think " yeah His/her was right, I'm guilty of that and I put pressure on him (gambler) but the truth is that the addicted gambler only saying an scapegoat to use it as an excuse only.  So don't buy with that lie, it is not our fault.

Do you encourage gambling to your family members for you to be guilty when something unpleasant happens?
Or, do you support someone from a family member who's currently doing gambling activities?

I am only getting others side of their view in accordance with the topic we are discussing it now. Of course all of us here are not encouraging our own family to become addict in the gambling via online in the cryptocurrency. All I wanted is too see the difference advise, opinion or suggestions  where we can able to analyze and combine it for us to grow more here in the crypto gambling as an individuals community here in this industry.
