A Thought On Gambling Strategies

[KingsDen]

I think people don't understand that there is no strategy in gambling. Gamble but consider your spendings on it as an entertainment expense. Got luck on your side and won? Good. If you don't you still had fun.

 

I have read a situation a gambler already budgeted the money he ought to win from gambling even when he has not won the money.
This is the level of expectation that leads people into losing huge amounts of money.
In everything that has to do with risk-taking and risk management. There is always some standard rules, but when we overlook these rules, the repercussion will now be on us to bear the consequences.

It is better to gamble for fun by using the list amount of money that you are able to lose.
This is also applicable to bitcoin investment. But when there is a sign of bull run people will forget about the rules of investment and place emotion and instincts over reality. Then the end result will be a disastrous loss.

My strategy is that I don’t have it. I play for fun, this is my main priority.There is always an amount that I spend on various games and bets, and if I don’t win anything, it’s like a payment for a good time and nothing more.I know that there are people who make big money on games and they have a plan and strategy for the game, but it doesn't always work.

Strategies are mainly used to assist you managing your bankroll properly, making it last longer, so you can play for a long time with a relatively low or average budget, while a gambler playing crazily without any methods or strategies in mind is much more likely to spend a fortune in a short time period, without having any fun or solid gameplay. I've already seen gamblers losing 2,000$-20,000$ in few minutes for that reason. That is completely foolish.

So it totally worth to adopt a strategy to your gambling session. You may not always win, but you will have more chances to win if playing in an organized way, plus having more fun.

EV Negative games obviously will be profitable for the casino owner in the long run. EV Positive games will be profitable to the player at times but not always. The gamblers often get swayed by that thought of getting rich such that the concept of logic goes out of their heads and they consider themselves to be at war with the casino and that perpetuates the house edge to catch up to them in an EV- game.

Most of the gamblers go in for the excitement that it provides but dont know when to stop and come back to the reality. It is addictive for someone who has a problem, but being able to quit is maximally going to profit them.

There is no strategy in an EV- game, it is all luck. For EV+ games, skills are involved.

Are you indirectly saying gambling is a game of luck?
To me is far above game of being Lucky to win because whenever you don't seat properly to make your predictions correctly you may stand little chance of winning but whenever you forecast how the games are being played (Sportbooking precisely) then you stands another best chances of winning the game for the week or day. So gambling more than being a game of Luck, there are some cases where you could predicts and never win does it mean you don't luck or you are lucky for that day?
We truly understand is a game of fun but whenever you don't apply wisdom to get your scores correctly then you may hardly win the game.

Another word for strategy is a method, you have your own way of gambling from the results of your experience of gambling or adopting it from other people, I think that is also a strategy that can make you more happy in gambling, I also do it, not in gambling there is a specific strategy that is most effective and gives consistent wins, but there are indeed some moments that we realize after doing a lot of gambling that we can consider it a lucky chance with several supporting elements to get a win, and I think that is included in a strategy that relies on the hunch of victory and that's what makes gambling even more fun.

There are strategies that work depending on the games you select, your knowledge of the game and your experience playing.

Thanks to video poker I have gotten comped hotel rooms and buffets for the past 15 years. I can play for hours and run my points up and walk away at least at break even every time.

Your (at times unrealistic) goals and expectations have a lot to do with rendering a winning strategy ineffective.

Is it not an exaggeration if you think gambling can get consistent wins. The strategy you are referring to will not work in gambling that relies on luck, no one will know luck and cannot be predicted. But when talking about soccer betting, it will be more technical because it can use analysis on teams and players. but for gambling that relies on luck such as slot gambling, technical strategies will not apply.

If there is no strategy that works for you, that is okay but you cannot invalidate strategies that works for the others. The suggestion of yours is a great one because you will be able to flee from disappointment if ever it is not your day.

But if you have won with or without strategies being done, I agree to just have some fun and do not forget that purpose when you gamble so when losing streak comes to you, it won't give a heavy feeling of pain.

It's no fun when you lose an amount of money though. Whats fun is wining some money.
With so many disappointments in the past, some of us do not believe in those strategies already. I did some strategies in the past from dice to roulettes and blackjack, but I always end up losing it all. If there is one strategy that works, it's to stop playing while you won.

This is why I stick to sports already like the rest of us on NBA, boxing and MMA.

It's good to stick into those sports that you've been winning and even if you lose there, that's fine because you're enjoying the sport and you're doing it because you know what you're doing and you just place bet randomly there.

Many gamblers forget that when they've won such amounts, they're not leaving for that day and keeps on going thinking that there shall be more.

But, with proven experiences, that's not really going to work properly if you've been there. Sometimes, small wins are better than having no wins but losses.

Easy to say but would really be that hard for you to have such control on the time that you do gamble.You cant really assure that you could be able to handle yourself on the time that you would be doing gambling.
We know that gambling game could be classified into 2 categories which is pure luck ones and strategic which means that it would really be just common sense on what would be your approach when it comes on what game you would really be that dealing.If you are involved on a game which is heavily purely relying on luck then it would really be just that wrong on pushing yourself to win and really that
trying to make your strategies do work which is really not really that ideal at all.You are just piling up your losses even way more worst.

That's just the point.... Vividly expressed.
I use to hear 'em peeps be bragging how they all make a leaving outta gambling and I keep asking, how?? How could rely on such inconsistent source of income? What if it turns out bad for you in a whole week or month?? (Cus it might actually happen?)?...
I normally see the process as -- simply paying to have virtual fun or something, but with an advantage of gaining sometimes at the end of the day, as an incentive....it's that simple..some peeps push too hard and when it doesn't cut, they feel like running into a homicide.

Interesting, what you say will have a varied response from the community. yes, everyone will have different assumptions and perspectives. but for me personally, I prefer to say "technique", not strategy. but really, there's nothing wrong with that. there is nothing wrong if some gamblers say they have a strategy in their gambling, as well as with a technique, or all kinds related to gambling, including as you said. every gambler, has the right to claim whatever they believe in. So, no more arguing with that.

To be honest, I prefer to say it technically. yes, I have techniques related to gambling, especially when it comes to football betting. supposing that I didn't have a technique, that way, every gamble I made could be said to be blind. that is why, I say technique. well, in a technique, knowledge, experience and insight, foresight, and combined into analysis are needed. so, that's how I describe it. a matter of winning or losing, that is another matter, let's leave it to luck. one more thing, the idea of ​​making gambling part of a hobby and pleasure is an idea that should be gripped by gamblers.

Gambling indeed should be for fun, but I disagree that there is no strategy, there are strategies, but what you would say, and I would believe is that, those strategies does not directly influence winnings or losses, it all still depends on luck, most especially, playing slot games..
As for sports betting, it depends on how lucky one is at predictions, and also good and deep knowledge of the game being played and the team playing the game..

Martingale is one of the strategies gamblers explore when playing slot, this strategy does not directly affect win or lose, but could make the gambler win more money if he or she is lucky.

Well said mate, like you l also believe there is such thing as gambling strategy for you to win big or even get fixed winnings,  I personally believe that for one to win a bet it all depends if on that particular stake luck falls to be on your side if not you will loose the bet. I feel the only strategy there is to gambling Is the strategy of you not loosing more of your money for example all your gambling expenses for a month should be fixed and you should never go against that amount to avoid more losses and more intensity to play more.

That is the reason why gambling casinos are making huge and consistent profits because they have always the advantage over the players. Even if the players are great and very skilled, as long as they got no luck the time they gamble, they will never have the chances to win. That’s why gambling is much better if you play it for entertainment rather than making it a source of living.

That is why the house always wins, house edge factor is there for exactly this reason. No matter what strategy or methods the player uses the house edge factor makes it unbeatable mathematically, no one can beat this equation without beating the house edge factor. Chances are high to win regularly but one red session may clean everything if the player refuses to stop aka cutting loss as it explained in the trading world. Entertainment is key and as it explained please stop when the fun stops. Otherwise, you gonna chase loss which ends in the same final scene, and you will never recover with this gambling mindset.

House do always wins in the end specially when you do prolong your gambling sessions on which HE would really be still ripping off the money or profit you do have unless if you do able to hit up some huge multiplier and put you up on greens or positive then it would be good but if you do still go or look after for more profits then those amounts would be surely be given back into the casino once again.

This is why its really that important that you should really be remindful about on the actions you would be doing, unless if you do go for more leisure or entertainment without minding
on how much you do spend on that particular session then it would really be entirely your choice. No one really knows on how lucky you are on a specific
period specially on gambling.

Wrong. There's a strategy for gambling. We are not just relying on luck here especially if we talked about gambling types outside of luck-based games. I found it bullsh*t to just play with fun and treat gambling for entertainment purposes. Damn, there are lots of ways to entertain ourselves without risking our money.

Didn't you realize that with so much fun as your purpose on doing gambling, you never noticed how much money you are losing now, in the long run, to just fulfill your fun and entertainment? Isn't it fun to lose? That's a sh*t approach in gambling.

If you don't care for any strategy, gambling is not for you. Don't say that people don't understand that there's no strategy in gambling in general because if does true, then there should be no gambler that reaches the level and tier of being considered a professional gambler.

I highly agree, instead of saying that there is no strategy in gambling,  @OP should have stated that there is no effective strategy in gambling that can last for a long time.  Except for games outside luck-based gambling, strategy is often effective for only short duration of time.  That is because the gambling result is random and the longer we play in the casino the harder it is to win or the more frequently it triggers long series of red streaks.  

About playing for fun or playing to win, I agree that it is a waste of time if we only consider gambling just to play for fun.  And it is no fun if we see our funds slowly depleting.  Btw, gambling strategy does not only involve gameplay decision, it also involves bankroll management and time management.

[Hispo]

At this point I am almost completely convinced that the best one can do as "strategy" while gambling is learn how to do budgets and manage both money and risk (about the same how traders do, but adapted to your favorite games)

Mostly the term "strategy"  compatible with the context of gambling if you are the house and are thinking about a future advertisement strategy to increase the number of concurrent players in your platform, otherwise, just avoid being a reckless gambler and irresponsible adult 

We have some instances in this forum of what happens otherwise.

LOL what the heck are you guys talking about. Not all gambling games are games of chance/luck..some gambling is a game of skill.  Even placing sports bets can be a game of skill /strategy.  Strategy is actually a pillar of gambling.  It's especially apparent when playing games like poker and blackjack.  There's strategies when it comes to bluffing, when to hit and when to hold, etc etc.  I could go on and on.  Sure, some games are pure chance, but many aren't.
