Why is it so hard to win at gambling?

[AakZaki]

~snip~
Gamblers will do anything to be able to return to play even if they have to owe, the hope is that he can win far more than he loses and actually profit is not just a return on capital.

Actually I do gambling just for pleasure not as the main job. Perhaps this is the difference. I feel more happy not to have a burden with the money I use. Indeed, I have heard of people who are addicted to gambling like people who are not aware. They are trying all to get money to return to gambling. But I think that's not all. Actually, gambling must also have money control, emotional control so that everything can run normally not harm. Sometimes gambling is also a fortune so no matter how good we are, sometimes we will lose. So I think gambling for pleasure is not for making money.

To be honest with you Sir, I like your advise, let me try to rest 1-2days then play again. In fact, I've seen this style to my friend where
once He played in the crypto gambling He will took rest after a couple days sometimes after 1 month before He come back again
in the gambling games, and I never know that this effective based on His style as a gambler. Thanks for this advise Sir, Good day.

I'm happy if you like my suggestions.
I wish you a good rest and when you get back to gambling again, you can enjoy the game and win some money.
I'm sure it will also work well for you so you can work it out well.
I am waiting for good news from you.

You mean that specific gambler would still play on the 4th day and see if that gambler is still lucky? We can't exactly say if that's a good idea as for sure that gambler is really pushing his or her luck. Having a rest day in-between days is really a must to ease or mind from thinking about gambling stuffs, having some quality time or developing some habit or hobbies would somehow suffice.

I mean, the gambler should take a break after playing 3 days in a row and take 1 day off to gamble.
I think it can be tried by anyone who finds it difficult to quit or take a break from gambling and it can also be applied by gamblers who don't want to get addicted.
Having a day off from gambling will help the mind to rest too so that when he wants to play gambling again, his mind will not have too much desire to win the game.

It's true, we must always clarify that the house will always have the advantage, that we are fighting against that advantage and apart from the advantage that it can have within the same game, sometimes the games that can favor us are the PVP and yet the which is random, and that is already something that is impossible to fight, however some people in games like poker can attest that strategies are very valuable, strategies can work if and only if you play in PVP mode and in a tournament, I think this is something that we all have to face, and the casinos know it, also the other possibility that a person can win more is with sports betting, because there is no way, the result is what it is and that's it.

The house will win and we have to know that and never force ourselves to be too eager to win it.
But when it comes to poker, it looks like they can win poker games as long as they have the ability to play and keep learning.
Sports betting can also give us a win as long as we know how to choose a team or player that has a chance to win.

I think that's too much to make us discipline, limiting the days we need to gamble is stricter than limiting the budget. Because your mind will force to gamble and you will feel tormented if you not do it. I'm not an addict but I'm a regular gambler who gamble everyday, perhaps different person has different treatment.

[Maslate]

so, even though i am a gambling addict but i understand that winning is impossible so i can control myself

but don't you have the will to win?

i have the will to win, but not expect too 
sometimes i get emotional too when several times i place bet on blackjack, always losing, the desire to win makes me even more angry. but when i'm emotional and angry, my friends and wife always remind me by saying "control your emotions it's just a game".
so with my habit of always being given advice from friends or wife when angry, i became used to it and when i lost placing a bet i calmed my own mind by saying "this is just entertainment"

Myself doesn't really need any advise yet I could able to control myself yet I've been putting into my mind that stop immediately when I'm at deep loss or spending the funds which aren't supposed to be spent on gambling and when you are a type of person who do have this kind of behavior then you do really have a good self control of everything specially on gambling situations.We do always mind about winning but entertainment should be your main priority.

Self-control is a hard challenge but when you master controlling yourself then you would be in a much different phase, much different from a person who's a slave in his mind. Personally, it's just a matter of mind over body and if we don't want to see ourselves in a rough situation then I guess we should try to control ourselves more often. That's right, entertainment is the one we should covet and if we had some winnings along the path then just consider it as a bonus because we came for entertainment and surely that comes with a price.

i also gamble everyday but i only do sports betting and i dont put money i cant afford to lose i look at sports betting as fun but i am also aware that i am dealing with money and naturally i strive to make a profit because if I'm not making a profit then I'm constantly making deposits to play and that's not a good thing. By this I mean that even when we look at games as entertainment we have to be aware that we are dealing with money and therefore we have to make a profit, our account should grow. what I have seen is that when people play these lottery games which are games of chance they have no way of managing money so they start to lose money and become easily addicted

Maybe for addicts it will be very difficult but when you say you are not an addict, even though you do it every day then in fact this can still be anticipated by busying yourself with other activities so that our minds are distracted.
At least something like this will still have an effect on people who are still not completely addicted, even though it is less effective for those who are addicted.

It is easy or not for a gambler to control his gambling addiction, depending on the aspect of what the goal is to gamble. I believe that if gambling has become his source of income or his daily job to make money, then his addiction will be more and more difficult to get rid of. It is different with the gambler who gambles for pleasure or to gain some things regardless of whether it is experience or knowledge.

Then I also think there are some people who are very unlucky in gambling because they find it very difficult to win bets. Basically it also depends on what game they are playing and what odds they want to win. If the goal is to win, then in my opinion the gambler should choose a game that has greater odds and less risk.

gambling addiction is like drinking addiction - the more you lose the control on yourself the more you get out of control .. .
And there are so many suggestions and advices gamblor give to new gamblers but everyone does what they feel like doing. . Most of the gamblor learn the skill hard way.

The main reason why is hard to win in gambling is greed, most people prefer using just little amount to win hug amount which the chances of you winning is very low, some people will want to gamble with just $10 and they will want to win $500 which makes it hard to win, but if you gamble $10 and expect to win $20 that's kind of reasonable and the chances of winning is kind of high. Also some people will always be happy whenever they are gambling which they will want to win more, they don't really know when they should stop which at the end they will endup losing all the money they have win. So in gambling we shouldn't be greedy and we should always know when to stop.

[Zilon]

Gambling is a fun spirit as greed is a misery. Losing is part of gambling, it is like a calm peel but winning is an instigator of lack of contentment. But what ever the case the result turns out contentment and budget should be the leading factor during gambling. Addictions are real and can be very disastrous, if infects worst than viruses. It is better to be contented with loses than seek help over gambling addiction

I definitely support the idea about addictions being dangerous and such. I think misery part of gambling is not gambling itself but not having fun through it - consider you play 3 times a day, you will most likely lose more although whenever you win once if you feel enjoyment that can hide your loses, you are not misery person. People should just gamble responsibly and enjoy every experience through gambling.

The single hope win will add hope and once again focus will turn towards gambling. Having fun out of gambling is really a big thing to enjoy, but very few does it. What really happens with a person who is already exposed to gambling. When he wins one out of three attempts, he have lost once as a win is compensated with a loss. Now mind things of giving a try and recover the loss. This is what happens than enjoying it.

Would end up to be a continous process on which it would really be normally be putting into your mind that you do only lost once and able to have chance on acquiring or getting back again or simply talks about chasing losses and as long you do still have funds or money into your pocket then you would really be continuing to play until you do blow it all.ITs a common human behavior and even myself do really have a hard time on
resisting on playing more whenever i do know that i could really spend something with those leisure times.One thing to be mind off is on how you should really make out some control midway which
you could able to stop if you do see or aware that you are already losing too much.Gambling is for entertainment and not for money making and its a must thing for someone to realize on in the first place.

~ Honestly, I haven't seen a banker or a casino close ~

Just think of it a little bit. If it were true that every casino was never going bankrupt that would mean the money making machine were invented. You just take a loan to open a casino. Then you paying out the loan from the profits. And then you are a casino owner with no debt, just making money for the rest of your life. Easy, right? No, no, it's not that easy. In fact, many of the newly opened online casinos don't last more than 3 months, first of all because gamblers don't want to play in new places, they prefer the established ones. Secondly, even if you managed to attract people by, say, a low house edge, maintaining a casino with one the lowest house edges is a hard job.

All casinos identical to the house are the winners. Although as a new casino it also all depends on how they provide satisfactory service. Moreover, reputation and feedback from gamblers. Making low house profits is based solely on individual percentages. But the truth is that the casino can make a lot more even if it only takes a small advantage from the players.

It can, but only if many thousands of players are registered there. What I meant to say in my reply to @gunhell16 was that opening a casino is never a guarantee of success. It's hard to attract people to your place, and it's even harder to maintain it on a proper level.

Returning to the topic, Why is it so hard to win at gambling?, I would say that it is harder to profit as a casino owner than as a gambler.

I'm not an addict but I'm a regular gambler who gamble everyday, perhaps different person has different treatment.

Too many? I think the discipline is worth learning because it will help us discourage gambling curiosity.
And if we have high discipline, we can limit the finances we will use to gamble.
Thus, discipline helps us not become addicted in the long run.
In addition, by self-discipline, our minds will also learn that if the time is enough for gambling, we must stop as soon as possible before things change drastically.

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

And I saw both a bankrupt banker and a bankrupt casino. In case of a bank, maybe you've heard about the famous Lehman Brothers?

There's also many casinos that were advertising on this forum and became scams because it was a faster way of making money than simply being honest to your customers.
There are even some shady businesses in here now like 1xbit.

The main reason why is hard to win in gambling is greed, most people prefer using just little amount to win hug amount which the chances of you winning is very low, some people will want to gamble with just $10 and they will want to win $500 which makes it hard to win, but if you gamble $10 and expect to win $20 that's kind of reasonable and the chances of winning is kind of high.

It's the same with investments. People are up 4x on their Bitcoin bit never take any profit until it goes down and they lose money. I'm also guilty of that. The more you want to win the more you lose.

 gambling of different platform is a pleasure or entertainment of any person can do for a free time. And people misused the proportion of gambling. In actual sense if we can count low and reason carefully for this gambling of things. It's what is measured or created for rich men for purpose of resting after work in form of play, but so many of us is using it to pay for shopping and apartment and also Start up a business. And that is why when we lose it and it caused Truman to us and caued mental derailed to some people.

Whenever you investing in any business, we shouldn't be too greedy, we should always learn to take profit. Most people that gamble the more they win they more the amount they use to gamble increas, whenever they lose they always lose all their money both the profit they have make and the capital which they used to gamble. In gamble I believe their are some time which you just have to take a break at that moment, but some people don't care they just want to gamble which at the end they will endup losing every thing they make and some people even take loan to gamble which is very bad.

[jostorres]

It is always hard to be the winner in gambling because by design itself you are bound to lose and the casino is bound to win. The casino is designed to earn and make big money from gamblers. The gamblers are designed to have fun and lose. And as if this is not enough, the psychological effects of casinos and their games are such as that the loser will not stop gambling. He will continue to gamble and chase his loss and will end up with a bigger loss. That's the reason.

It's only odd that people still continue to gamble despite of this fact or idk maybe they aren't smart to figure that out yet? But it's impossible since the result can also tell but for those who are playing for fun and not for the profit, losing is not a big thing to them. They can lose their money but as a return, they feel more relaxed and stress free after leaving the gambling place.

Those who tends to have fun only are unlikely to feel an addiction because having fun is not a kind of objective like leveling up your account to be a vip or gambling to earn a specific profit. It's not only about chasing the loss you know but it's also about chasing a big win as they know that losses won't be recovered anymore.

So in gambling we shouldn't be greedy and we should always know when to stop.

The reason for the difficulty, as you stated, is not the case, there are some casinos that allow a minimum deposit of $10, and with that amount, you can wager it on any slot with a reasonable multiplier and get a huge return, the return depends on the multiplier you choose, for example, if you choose 10x, you should get back $100, and if there is a bonus, that is a plus. However, when a gambler who wishes to use $10 on a 100x multiplier is greedy, you don't make container money out of thin air, it doesn't work that way. Some casinos don't even allow up to that kind of multiplier so that players don't make them go bankrupt.
