A Thought On Gambling Strategies

[DoublerHunter]

No, luck is what a gambler needs. However, luck is unpredictable, it can be on your side or against you at times. We should not anticipate winning every time we gamble. Just gamble for fun, not with the intention of making sums of money. If you are fortunate enough to win, consider yourself lucky. Even though this is rare, there are times when we get lucky and win big sums of money. That is the opportunity to strategize, not to win, but to secure the prize without losing it again through greed.

No one has ever won big in gambling without luck. But in all cases it should not depend on luck. Because in sports betting, if you don't know the players of the team well and their present condition or who are the player will play in that particular match etc, then the luck will stay somewhat away from you. If good analysis is done there then luck may close to you. So all I can say that your strategy can bring you closer to success in any gambling. But if luck does not favor, there is no value for strategy.

^Definitely right that luck can still play a significant role in gambling, luck is a factor in determining the outcome of a bet, and careful analysis and strategic decision-making can increase your chances of success. Because even the bets against the underdog team can lose.
It is also good to remember that gambling should always be done responsibly and within one's means. While there are some strategies that people swear by, it is ideal to understand the risks involved and to make wise decisions.

Gambling has no specific strategy.

There are specific strategies but their effectiveness should be the question.

Gambling is for fun, its something you should do for fun at your leisure time.

Yes, and that's always being said by the most of us in here.

People that think that gambling has a strategy for winning are those that makes gambling as a means of source of income or they want to make a living from gambling.

Well, even those that want to have fun. They want to know those strategies. You're not just here to have fun and lose everything, as much as you want, you want to see your bets and money win some money back even if you're just a casual gambler.

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.

 

Gambling is never a parade of skills but literally it’s more on luck, and so even if you have the best strategies to gamble, that won’t guarantee profits as gambling is still mostly dependent on luck. However, if you have the luck and great working strategies altogether, I think profiting ahead is clear enough. But if you have strategies alone, that won’t make you easily profit in gambling. So gamble for fun, and not for profits.

Gambling isn't always just about luck, and it also entirely depends on what kind of gambling one's doing.  There are plenty of types of gambling games where skill is critical, and knowing what you're doing is 50% of the battle, making luck simply not enough.  Black Jack for example is in large part a game of skill.  I would argue the same for Poker. Of course there are games like roulette which are largely luck, but even that game requires skill.

Some gambling are based on skill and some based on luck. We can’t be on one side for the both, because skill also help us to earn some money. The only way to get happiness from gambling by considering the gambling for fun and not considering gambling as money making platform like trading. Play gambling without any expectation and enjoy the every moment with the joy. If you don’t have huge money, play the gambling with less amount of dollars. Even if you loss some money, it will be learning loss. Some experience people ready to loss some money for experience. When come to experience of individual players, it surely take some time. It also vary to all the players, for few people it only takes 1 month to complete full analysis and experience. But to many it takes huge time period.

[Weawant]

yes indeed in gambling there is no strategy whereas gambling is just a place to have fun not a place expecting profit.
but i have one question in the sports betting section. Is arbitrage betting a strategy in gambling? or just a method to win?
yes, I fully understand that there really is no way to beat the house and that arbitrage betting is so frowned upon by bookies that led to banning of gamblers, but I consider arbitrage betting as one of the strategies in gambling that has a definite outcome. although it has to use a long time and strict precision.

Generally, there's a strategy in anything that two or more people can do and be successful at, which gambling is one of them. There was a report of some set of individual that use a strategy to win whenever they gamble and didn't get caught until a very long time.

Although gambling has to do with much of been lucky but you can also find a way to come out successful most times.When gambling just consider yourself having fun and not get pressured into wanting to win whenever you bet or you'll always encounter bad lucks.

Been luckily is one of the ways to always win your bet and there has been ways of making yourself lucky and been prepared is one of those ways, always be prepared.

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.

Lossing ain't fun though, and yes there is a strategy in gambling, but still it also requires luck.
Do you think analysing and researching about a specific match in sports gambling prior to the game isn't called a strategy? If you don't do that, you might end up betting on a wrong side.
Do you think a simple "poker face" in a game of poker isn't a strategy? You'll probably get exposed if you keep showing your demeanor and facial reactions every time you had a bad and good cards.
By doing these kind of simple strategy will give you lesser risk of lossing.

Depends on who you are asking. I feel like losing is "fun" in certain situations. I am not saying that I have fun just by doing regular dice with boring results and just straight up losing my hand. But for example, being in a tournament for a poker reward and then losing as 6th in the tournament of 1000, could be very fun, you still lost and maybe not even got anything because the first three got rewards and 6th got nothing, but you may still have fun there.

So it depends on how you lost, was it something boring that you did and lost, or was it something entertaining and you lost anyway, they are very different two things. Make sure that you participate in things that are fun, that way you could make a lot more profit in the end.

[fullhdpixel]

but after all the strategies used in gambling are only to look for opportunities to be closer to luck.

If there was no factor of luck in gambling and it was based strictly on strategy, many people will take gambling as seriously as they take trading since they know that a greater chance of them winning depends on how good their strategy is. Gambling if so will become a full-time job for people just as you have full-time traders and there will be more discussions about how to introduce gambling to our children earlier to be aware of it since it is something they can make money from. I believe gambling is based more on strategy than luck.

In gambling we have two types of games here, one is luck-based and the other is skill-based. It was the skill-based is the one that people take seriously. They can make strategy in hopes of increasing their winning chance but there must be a little luck needed here in order to be successful.

There are still people who take luck-based games seriously and just like on the skill-based games, they too can come up with their own strategy but this only have a little effect. In trading, a little luck might be needed. There are so many people who take trading seriously but unfortunately, they are mostly losing. That is because trading is not easy.

Play gambling without any expectation and enjoy the every moment with the joy. If you don’t have huge money, play the gambling with less amount of dollars.

If we can play both sides, that obviously can give us a big chance to win but it may not be easy because we have to be able to divide the focus for each game.
Maybe we can look for sports bets first and analyze them, then place bets and then play games based on luck.
If many people could think of gambling as fun and not spend a lot of money gambling, they would not regret losing a few dollars.
But we see many people have used too much money. Instead, they have lost almost all or even all of their money.

Card games are really skill-based games because you can't just jump at the table and try to play the cards given to you because you don't know the rules and also because you don't have a strategy, unlike slots or roulette, where you can just sit and try to bet whatever you want and you'll try your luck if you win. As long as you can play the gambling games without prior experience or knowledge of them, they are luck-based games for me, but for those who have more complicated rules and strategies, they are skill-based games.

Well, even those that want to have fun. They want to know those strategies. You're not just here to have fun and lose everything, as much as you want, you want to see your bets and money win some money back even if you're just a casual gambler.

Even though they are on gambling sites for fun, they will not be willing to lose too much money just for fun.
Gamblers who say they are playing for fun are just small thoughts because in their minds, their thoughts will always be filled with the hope that a win can provide an advantage.
That's why every gambler definitely wants a strategy that is good enough so that they can still play for fun but on the other hand they can win and reduce the percentage of losses.
After all, many gamblers are starting to find out ways or steps to minimize the number of losses.

Skill-based games should really be taken into consideration because they require the ability to distinguish what actions should be done in order to win. To win a skill-based games, of course you have to build a strategy. A strategy and techniques that will give you the higher percentage of winning against fellow gamblers or against the house itself. Although we should still remember that there is only a specific RTP you can win against the house, so combining everything you've got to get the favorable outcome is necessary.

Luck-based games players have their strategies too, yes that's right. It just depend on people whether he'll have one or none at all and just rely on the chance and probability given the nature of the game.

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.

There is no need for anyone to be indirect about that, gambling without a doubt is a game of luck, and you cannot win no matter what you do unless you are lucky. No strategies, no planning, and no betting method can make you win a single penny if you got no luck at all. I know people win sometimes, some win very big amounts, but they don't win because they have a specific strategy for that, it's just because they got luck on their side.

If we talk about sports betting, even the results of that can be based on your luck, though there are more chances of winning if you understand the sport you are betting on and the team that you've chosen, but still, if the win isn't in your destiny, even the favorite team will lose that day.

It's true, a sports betting is more predictable than luck based games because if we're understand the sport, the player or the team, we know how good they're and how possible they will beat their opponent. While in lucky based game there's no clue about the next spin, if you say we can take a look with the pattern, it's wrong because I've done it before. It's really unpredictable and I don't think there's a legit strategy in lucky based games.

Gambling is never a parade of skills but literally it’s more on luck, and so even if you have the best strategies to gamble, that won’t guarantee profits as gambling is still mostly dependent on luck

in recent years I could see people who make a living with gambling, I could see great professional gamblers who support their family with sports betting since years, they are people who spend many hours doing analysis of many leagues like bundesliga, premier league, serie A, portuguese league, brazilian league, Ligue1, la liga, NBA and many other sports. these people can analyze many games, when they analyze a game they have to take into account which are the good players of each team, which are the players of each team that are injured, where they will play, if they will play at home or away from home, what is the history of confrontation between the two teams, results of the two teams in the last 5 games until they reach the conclusion that the team is the best option to bet on, this has nothing to do with luck. in sports betting you should not count on luck

Luck-based games players have their strategies too, yes that's right. It just depend on people whether he'll have one or none at all and just rely on the chance and probability given the nature of the game.

honestly I don't see how dice games, plinko and so many other games that depend on luck can have any strategy, if a person right now takes 100$ and goes to play pliko and I ask him the following: what analysis did you do before playing plinko to define a strategy? did this strategy work? The person's answer will undoubtedly be that he didn't analyze anything and just started playing and was lucky to win something or lost everything. but if I ask the same question to a poker player, without a doubt he will tell me that he thought of things X and Z and then created strategy Y and with that he managed to win and made a profit. that's because in games that depend on luck there is no strategy. near my house there are those slot machines, I see that few people in my neighborhood play in those machines, but when it comes to sports betting, many people in my neighborhood bet, that is, people in my neighborhood know that slot machines slot depend on luck and easily they can lose all money

It's really unpredictable and I don't think there's a legit strategy in lucky based games.

Sports betting don't totally rely on luck because we can have basis which could also be an edge upon betting. We can research the strength of players and their background history.
However, there are really luck based games that even if we apply any strategies, the result will still rely on our luck. Lottery and slots are some of them. I also tried applying the pattern strategy but it still didn't work for me.

^Definitely right that luck can still play a significant role in gambling, luck is a factor in determining the outcome of a bet, and careful analysis and strategic decision-making can increase your chances of success. Because even the bets against the underdog team can lose.
It is also good to remember that gambling should always be done responsibly and within one's means. While there are some strategies that people swear by, it is ideal to understand the risks involved and to make wise decisions.

One of the basic strategies on gambling is take more time to carry out some basic expensive research on the particular game or odd you want to place on, you can also follow a trusted tipsters or some good prediction site, to enable you know the previous performance of the particular team you are following. You have to try as much as possible avoid over confidence in any particular team due to even the best can lose any time. Handicapper is also advised to be applied,. It can reduce your chances of losing.

If we make a poll about what a gambler gets pleasure from, most of the participants will obviously answer that winning, because actually winning is what makes us play gambling again and again.

Therefore, all who gamble do it for pleasure, only someone is able to enjoy the game after losing $100, and someone after losing $100 is trying to win them back and gets not pleasure, but irritation.

Apart from sports betting and poker, I don't think that any other game can be made less risky by using any kind of strategy, one can just play around with their betting method and keep changing games every now and then when they are losing consecutively to reduce the risk of losing everything at once but have more opportunities to get a win based on luck.

Your luck may not change completely in such a short time but this trick sometimes works in your favor when you take a break or keep changing games back and forth when you are losing and not winning at all.

  I have never read anything more funny about gambling. Just be lucky - here is a unique strategy that will bring you success!

As for the presence of strategies in gambling in general (as in any activity), it is obvious that when gambling strategies are discussed, it is understood that they must be profitable. Losing strategies are of no interest to anyone and everyone knows them.
