Why is it so hard to win at gambling?

[GigaBit]

I agree that sometimes it's better to lose because it discourages us from playing. In the case of a win, our hunger for winning increases and it is certain that in the log run we will lose much more than we have won.

I fully support your statement. I myself was once addicted to this gambling. I thought I might not be able to give it up anymore. Most of the time i lost my money. As I was losing continuously, I had a question raised in my mind that is why i am abusing my money? It has no return. I was annoyed because I deposit and then lost my assets. when I was able to bring myself under control, my addiction disappeared. It is true that if you have greediness then you must be lost your all assets in gambling.

If you want to use gambling as a way to earn money then you will start to make mistakes. Because just as you can win in gambling, you will also lose. Now after losing a game, if you become more aggressive and start gambling, it will lead you in the wrong direction. Since you have seen the reality, you may know how one wrong decision in gambling can make you more addicted. Those who gamble the right way and can control themselves over time. That gambler does not easily cause his big loss by making wrong decision.

a winning streak

I always try to avoid thinking about streaks, as really each bet is independent, and if you've say won 10 in a row or lost 10 in a row, it doesn't make you any more or less likely to win the next bet. Whilst streaks can sometimes mean that you are making good decisions (especially if it's a streak in a certain specific area where you have a lot of knowledge), more often a streak is simply brute luck, almost like flipping a coin 10 times and getting 10 heads... it doesn't make the chance of getting heads next time any more or less likely.

When it comes to betting on sports events, many bettors track the winning and losing streaks of individual teams. Obviously a team can never always win or lose and there are record streaks (knowing the records we can assume that the current streak is unlikely to break the record). Therefore, at a certain point, it makes sense to start betting against the continuation of the series, the problem is that such a strategy requires a lot of money, like any Martingale.

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?
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.

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

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.

It's hard to win in gambling if you don't have luck and certain strategies to make you win. The house will always have to win, and the bettors will not gonna take the winnings all the time. However, even if you have the luck and the strategies needed in a game, it does not guarantee profits but you can minimize your losses somehow. After all, gambling is a game of chance, something that we can never fully control its result.

It's because the casino has house edge, so by design, they will always going to win specially if you play long games in any casino. And that's how they make money from us gamblers. Of course, who doesn't want to win more? it's just human nature that we are greedy. So unless you don't control yourself, you might end up losing and then become addicted to it. So if you chance, you won some money already, don't stretch your luck, maybe it's better if you will exit and enjoy your winnings.

Gambling will always favor the house, so the house will always have to win, and the bettors are mostly left with more losses compared to their wons. And while these players continue to chase for their losses, looks like they are adding more profits to the casinos and making them still in the losing end. So there's no easy way to win in gambling, even if you think you are professional gambler, that won't make you avoid the inevitable losses in gambling.

Exactly, the house is always in favor, Every time you lose you will think I lost for a little while, if I played a little more carefully I would win.
Next time you will play again to win but if you lose then you will think that you will definitely win next time. It creates a lot of fascination,

I saw one who wanted to sell his Gold Membership gambling account,

I asked if you spend over $1k weekly on gambling then why would you want to sell the account for only $100? He told me that if he had an account he would want to do more gambling but if he did not have he would not be able to do it,  it's kinda funny but true.

By the way, I saw reports on TV where they talked about people who won a lot of money in gambling, but they are not motivational stories, on the contrary, they are sad stories. in gambling, in the case of lotteries, for example, a person can spend years playing and one day win millions of dollars (getting very rich) and looking at the cost of a lottery ticket, realize that it is a very low cost, that is even if the person plays for years the person will not be spending a lot of money on lottery tickets, but people who win the lottery even if they win millions of dollars they end up poor, because they don't value the money they won and from what I realized they are few people who win at gambling and do something good with their money in the real world. most end up losing everything they won in the gamble

It's hard to win in gambling if you don't have luck and certain strategies to make you win

Aside from being lucky on playing gamble i want to believe its a pleasure one has to build over time to gain experience in playing it in other to make a win, there are many gambling games in which luck goes along with wining them while others has nothing to do with being lucky but rather on how proficient one is in playing it, this is where the use of playing techniques and strategies are applicable, but the reason why making a win seems more difficult to newbies is because of their inexperience in playing such.

I agree you should first learn to appreciate or enjoy playing while working on your plan or strategy, you cannot strive to make money first and enjoyment just secondary to what you want to achieve in gambling, if you put making money first you are likely to lose and you will lose everything you've had if your put enjoyment first you will only allocate funds to use for gambling just enough for you to say that you use money that you can afford to lose.

If we get successive wins or losses, it's better we don't continue and prefer to stop as soon as possible because the next result can make us want to play longer.
Many of us have experienced consecutive wins and continued to play, but they lost all their money.
Some have lost in a row but are still playing and the result is instead of getting a win but instead getting more losses.
That's why we have to understand the situations and conditions we experience so that we don't fall deeper into what we don't know the outcome.

[Dunamisx]

if you put making money first you are likely to lose and you will lose everything you've had

you're right mate, it would have been more better in seeking for the right path to learning than fortune wealth expectations which eventually turns a disappointment in later live.

if your put enjoyment first you will only allocate funds to use for gambling just enough for you to say that you use money that you can afford to lose.

there are some sacrifices that it takes one to bear and give it all it requires just in other to make things work out, going by celebration is good but it is not good enough in using part or investment fund for live pleasure and enjoyment, there's a certain level one Will reach to be successful and no amount of money used for live pleasure will be too much then.

[Wakate]

Gambling is a risk and we all should be ready to face it if we want to gamble. Although their had not been much cases where gambling platforms fold or close due to lack of funds or due to gamblers having a great win that the gambling platform could not afford to pay their costumers. Addiction is one of the major problems of gamblers because the urge to gamble more is always there due to influence. We need to measure out risk to our gain so we can be sure that we do not make a wrong step that will affect our gambling lifestyle.

[Sanitough]

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

Well, there are also some instances where casinos are the loser and eventually go bankrupt because they failed to take-in bettors as their regular clients. Business needs clients and when there are no clients then there's certainly no business, casinos are almost everywhere in some modern countries so they need to meet the client needs so that they will be visited frequently as other casinos are also competitive enough. But that case is not often because there are lots of bettors than casinos, so each casino can somehow cater enough clients.

That is a very sad situation to face when addiction hits someone you love too much. All we can do is to offer active support in order to help them overcome this personal challenge on their lives. Of course it demands a lot of patience, time, effort and money to help someone completely out of what we consider a normal behavior due to addiction, but that is the right thing to do, since we can't abandon people on their difficult moments, otherwise the addiction can get worse and then only God knows where it can lead them to. Moreover, I think we can't feel guilty for others' mistakes and weaknesses, unless we have contributed for them reaching to that point due to our negative impact on their lives, what does happen in the relationship between parents and children.

That gambler does not easily cause his big loss by making wrong decision.

I agreed and supported you on this statement of yours dude, gambling cannot become a passive income in return. Sometimes, if the players or gamblers win in the games several times, they didn't notice while playing, their motive and goal is to win even they loss several times they are already blinded by it and turning into addictions until it become their vices.

This is exactly what I am trying to say, where no matter how expert you are in the gambling games in the end you will go home for nothing but to loss. This was reality happened most of the time actually. The house edge always undefeat and the bettors always lose. Even though sometimes the house edge is getting bankrupt in some other reason.

[lienfaye]

Do not expect that you will always win in gambling, that's never gonna happen. Casinos are businesses so before they come to the market, they have anticipated already the situations. They may give profits for some beginner's luck but after that, they will also take away all the profits they gained. So casinos have prepared their strategies for that. And in such cases that addiction occurs, you can't do nothing about it. Only the gambler itself can only solve that problem if he also allow himself to be treated.

Indeed. Casinos are business which means they build it to gain profit hence dont expect they will let their business to go bankrupt (although in some cases its also happening for some reason). Thats why many gamblers are losing than winning, the reason why its not right that you'll decide to gamble with a goal of earning money because if it didnt happen you might get disappointed. So gamble to enjoy the game and much better to have less expectation to win.

[Jawhead999]

The only way to more easier to win in gambling is become the house or invest in casino bankroll, since based on math... casino have a guarantee to win in the long term, so investing in casino would be profitable since it's higher chance to have a share of casino profit. In the past, I've ever invest in casino bankroll and mostly I got a share everyday, even though there's a day where the gamblers are win more than lose. However in this year, I don't see any profitable casino who over this feature.

If it's made so easy then making money become easier which so everyone will become rich.

Winning in the bet solely depends on the probability so if you take a dice you have 1:6 of winning chances so it means 20% lets add two dices the chances will go too down and follows, if the chance of winning is high the rewards will be low and take lottery you have one in million chance but the rewards are too huge compared to the ticket money.

It is hard to win be it gambling or any other venture of life. Winning is not an easy thing.
In our culture - gambling is prohibited to we do not gamble. The only time we do is for fun, where the winners either get a lunch or a drink or a gift. But not more than this.

It is good to keep in mind that the casino faces the same risks we do. In case a whale makes a few large bets and wins than this could really hurt a casino, and in the worst case even let them go brankcrupt if they don't have the necessary funds. Especially for new casinos trying to build up their brand the risk is high to not be able to cover large outflow of funds from the website. Gambling is a zero sum game, for us to win the casino needs to lose, and the casino has not unlimited funds. So in the end for us to win some other gambler has to lose that the casino can payout our winnings. Gambling is not designed that all players win and become rich. In my opinion we shouldn't be looking at gambling as game that we must win. There is a lot of randomness in gambling and only a lucky few player really manage to win big.
