Is gambling all about luck?

[Cookdata]

I think casino games are 100% dependent on luck. But betting on sports organizations is based on analysis of current data. Therefore, betting on sports organizations is based on knowledge rather than luck. I bet on sports organizations because I don't trust my luck too much. However, I can't say that I always win. Because I always feel that I need a little bit of luck. Sometimes I get lucky and win, sometimes I get unlucky and lose, but I find it more consistent to bet on sporting events.

We should be realistic. When there's a house edge, no one can win consistently using their skills, or at least they will lose in the long run. That's why games are divided into luck-based and skill-based categories. If your game belongs to the luck-based type, it's pretty obvious that you can only win when you are lucky.

The question is, will you risk gambling if that's your only chance? You know, casinos or the house do not rely on luck; they rely on their advantage.

The company aren't fooled to designed a fully functional casino that will continue to allow players to win, they have to lose so that the house will keep running the company, and even before public lunch, this thing is run and tested many times before are been rollout for real business but the advantage of it is that when wager at the right time and it flip to your favour, you will appreciate gambling for real and if it happen that you wager a reasonable amount of money, you will work home with a fortune but I don't think sports betting works like that they are always based of the statistics and available analysis.

In sports betting, if you don't have the skill to analyse and use the available information to bet, you will lose everything before even starting the gambling journey, that is just the plain truth about sports betting. Better to use your skills to make decisions that you know can give you good results, you will likely win before someone that is betting based on luck, they will not even win anything at all if we are been frank.

[Yatsan]

Most of the time but in some gambling games, analysis works. It is just that nothing guarantees a win unless it is a fixed match and you happened to have a trusted source of information. But with analysis, perhaps in sports betting, analysis does really work. In a match between teams you may look for their stats; previous matches, records, attendance of players during the game you would bet (there are instances wherein best ones are injured so it is also a factor), and the likes. Still it won’t guarantee a winning bet but atleast it would increase your chance of a winning bet. There are also other strategies such as betting against or with odds. However, betting against odds would be risky yet rewarding. And with betting on lower odds, you’re more likely to win but sometimes it won’t be as rewarding as it should be to satisfy a gambler.

In my opinion making cash from gambling is not a good option and the statistical probability that you will win every game at every casino is very low.

you will win , depend on your knowledge in gambling and ability to find your luck.

but that doesn't mean there is assurance at all.

I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there.

wait, what you said is IN OUR HEAD? how come ? winning or losing? sorry but I think it is not what gambling is all about.

However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.

and know when to stop mate.

Gambling is all about luck but sometimes your knowledge on that type of sports can help you win and that's when you're betting on sport games but when you want to play real gambling that depends on you having to guess, you will need luck because there's no strategy that you can use when guessing and it works multiple times. In gambling there's no assurance of winning because when you know everything about a game you'll still need luck to be on your side.

Because gambling is all about luck that's why, it shouldn't be depended on as a sources of income because you can't be sure you'll make profits everytime you gambling and if you chase after profits always you'll end up always over gambling and would be addicted, which will be bad.

There is no ability that can guarantee victory and there is no ability that can find luck because luck always comes unexpectedly and without us expecting this luck in gambling will usually come by itself somehow and we cannot determine when we will have luck.
Most gamblers believe they can get lucky if they keep betting but unfortunately they don't realize that luck can never be achieved easily.
But usually there are some people who understand that big luck will come once in a lifetime and they choose to risk a certain amount of money in games or betting that have jackpots such as dice or lottery games.

I don't think gambling is all about luck. In many different games gambler mainly reviews and tries to maximize their chances to win money. There is certain statistics and mathematics behind many games. There are some luck based gambling games but many many of them are skill-luck combined. Also, sports betting for example is nothing about luck. Your knowledge helps you win at it - luck may affect match but in general 90 minutes professional game (soccer/football) will have decreased amount of luck influencing it.

I slightly disagree, because it will depend on what game you're playing. For example, in a slot machine, your chances of winning depend on probability. There will be a certain time and probability that you will hit the jackpot, poker, or any other card game. It requires your capability to think, or critical thinking, because you will think that if you have the winning card, you will also consider probality and odds. and many more. In short, yeah, any gambling requires luck, but not pure luck. Consider the probability and your capability to do critical thinking.

Sports and card betting does not only depend on luck because there are analytical factors behind it before we decide to place a bet. By gathering more information about the match and each team, it can be useful for us in making betting choices. And it's not just about luck but about how we can analyze well. Especially if in researching it, we find there is a tendency for changes in the middle of the match so we feel the need to analyze more deeply for each team. But when the gambling game is a slot or dice game, it depends on luck so if we don't have it, we won't be able to win.

Making gambling a major source of income can't really be considered a good choice by anyone, as the person who will want to turn gambling into their means of earning might end up using their entire savings to wage on games that might end up disappointing them.
 
On the aspect of gamblers winning their games bringing luck or their skill put to good use, some people might claim that their chances of winning are based on their skill, which they use to predict the outcome of a game, but most times I ought to disagree with that, because most of the time the games that might appear to be a winning game based on their predictions end up disappointing them, and winning doesn't always happen the way they expect it and when they expect it, as there is no sure game in gambling.
 
Although when someone knows how to predict a game, by using those they plan to predict the outcome based on previous performances and other criteria they look at before making their conclusions, the skill they use in doing that most times increases their chance of winning, and luck does the rest of them, that's just what I believe.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yeah, that's true about winning but it also varies from time to time. If you're here to make cash then you expect that you're also about to lose so, if you're going to have the ratio of winning and losing, losing has that higher ratio than winning. And you don't have to be putting all that you can into gambling and the same goes for the hope that you'll make quick cash on it.

I'm sure that because in gambling there is no guarantee of certainty, it is true that in terms of winning it also varies greatly, the budget you bring really doesn't matter, no matter how much capital you bring, you still won't be able to know the statistics of how much you will win, and maybe we can only guess. Agreed, if there are some who come with the aim of earning then it is very clear to say that defeat will always dominate them, because something that is only limited to luck will always make the brain and mind always curious and obviously the percentage of victory will be lower than victory, because the house creates a system only for their own benefit and the gamblers who are made victims.

The capital matters only on how to prolong your stay but if you're lucky and you're doing a great job in maintaining that then you'll definitely prolong your stay and might get some profits along the way.

Of course buddy, basically it will only keep you there for a long time because because of the big capital it will make you strong enough to stay there, although the final result is really no one knows, winning or losing are two definite answers and it is clear as we discussed above that the percentage of victory is much lower than defeat. So the big or small capital you bring will not affect at all, it will only be able to make you stay there longer before finally losing again. I think it's better for them to bring only the capital they can afford to lose, or that means they have full responsibility if they lose in the end, anyway if they are lucky even if the capital is small, they will definitely be able to win, so this is not a good alternative but this way you may indirectly increase the amount of your losses.

It is in the books. About tricks or you mean strategies, they're there but it just so happens that they're not going to work at most times. We've got luck yes and it's part of gambling but you can't be too depended on it because you will not know if you're lucky this or not.

I think it's just a waste of your time, do you believe in all these methods or strategies? I think by understanding that gambling is only limited to luck, you should be able to think with your common sense that of course whatever strategy you bring will not have an effect because it is clear and very real that it is only about luck, therefore as you said this often does not work. I think this fact is very clear, and maybe it's just that you are too much by adding a lot of ways and believe that it will work, but in fact it's nonsense and still lose.

Somehow I do, there could be strategies that might work for me but not for you and for the others and vice versa. But these strategies are just within us. It's like a practice on how we do the games we're playing and it's hard to think of any other new strategies when most of them aren't really staying for so long.

Well indeed every gambler has their own ways and assumptions every time they gamble, honestly I don't mind this because winning or losing you and they themselves feel it. But maybe here I'm just talking about gambling that really only requires pure luck that doesn't fully affect even if you try various ways. And well there are many versions of gambling that actually do require a way or strategy to increase the chances of winning, such as poker or sports betting that requires skill and analysis, but still refers to luck.

[inthelongrun]

Most of the casino games are purely based on luck. But there are also some games like poker and other card games that involve strategies and some other mind calculations but still, luck is part of gambling.

Sports betting is also another form of gambling where I am mostly focused nowadays. It's a challenging bet since our knowledge and analysis of the sports, teams, and athletes are super necessary to win. This has been my favorite form of betting ever since my college days. I also had my fair share of winnings and losses over the years. I love testing myself in the sports that I am following the most.

And in the end our bets will again depend on luck. I really agree with you that in soccer betting we can learn many things in order to determine the possibility of a team winning. However, football betting is a common thing that has often been used as a reference for a long time, or more precisely, placing bets on behalf of the club. So if the club is considered a big club, it has a high reputation, a winning record and the condition of the players is very supportive in every match played. So the betting choices will be easier, although sometimes I go against the odds and test my luck on weak clubs due to tempting Odds.

Luck plays a role be it EV+ or EV- in nature. Just that the luck factor is smaller in the former than the other but can often become significant to make you lose or win. If you ask me, for the common people, gambling is a game of luck because most of them dont know about EV+ games because they are like full time jobs, the players are studying it and dedicating full time to it.

Even then its not a cup or cake to conquer an EV+ game, hence if you dont want to get washed out, avoid gambling.

[Negotiation]

Although luck is an important factor in casino gambling especially when playing slots and related games other factors can affect the outcome of the game. Others believe that skill plays a major role in increasing your chances of winning it actually comes down to which game is being played. There are some games like slots and jackpots where it's all about pure luck players can increase their chances of winning by developing their skills, understanding the rules and managing their bankroll efficiently. Among these sports betting really good sports betting creates excitement in your favorite sport You can test your knowledge intuition and luck while cheering for your chosen team or athlete, making every moment of the game more enjoyable.

You're right, mate, gambling is all about knowledge and skill. I've seen a lot of people who only gamble and rely on it for their income, and they're still winning. We all know it will be very difficult to win every time, but those who have knowledge about it always have the luck to win, and the amount they have won rises above the amount they have lost. Most people won't have the skills to gamble, but they'll still pick it as their preferred method of losing money. I once had a conversation with someone who chose to bet on sports for a living. He has been doing so for over a year, and although he has only ever won once, I had advised him to stop because gambling was not something he should be doing. However, because he has become addicted to it, he always told me things based on his own beliefs.

Gambling is only luck for those who are supposed to win, not for the weak or the poor, and it is not a good idea for someone who doesn't have money to become addicted to it because it can lead to dangerous decisions. How did someone chose gambling as their source of income and make timely earnings without knowing anything about it?

It seems to me that anyone who decides to gamble should be fully aware of reality, namely that the probability of losing in any gambling game that requires the participation of the organizer is slightly higher than the probability of winning. And you need to treat losing as a natural outcome of the game session. Most beginners do not realize this and dream that they can get rich through gambling. Unfortunately, as much as we would like to achieve this only a few lucky people.

[Weawant]

To the best of my knowledge gambling is 50% luck and 50% your calculations or let me say smartness, in gambling you take what I call calculated risk so as to make the games in your favour, you don't just say it's all about luck and then place bets at random and expect to be a winner by virtue of luck. Especially for games like football that has statistics you could use that as your edge.

The luck in gambling come as a result of your careful selection with respect to possible history (statistics) of how that game has turned out in the past, this applies mostly to games such as football, basketball etc meanwhile card games are basically mind game and if you happen to have played with a certain player before you could understand his attitude and predict his moves.

In as much as lucky has a great role to play in gambling you have to be logical about your picks a d moves as the case may be. But this is not a guarantee you will be lucky enough to win so it's not and cannot be dependable or relied upon as a source of income, any money put into gambling should be considered gone but if you are fortunate it turns in your favor Your money comes back to you in bigger fold

[nimogsm]

The luck factor is of course present in the final win, but mathematics and probability theory still have a greater influence on the outcome of almost any game. The outcome of the game is also influenced by accurate knowledge of all the rules and the work of various strategies; these factors will definitely affect the final outcome.

Indeed, there are two perspectives on this issue, first from a fun and light perspective, we almost all affirm that luck is the god that brings us to victory in gambling while another perspective is that all games will have some special points to exploit. These special points are discovered based on the time we have experience with that type of gambling, the winning rate will not change too much but at least, our trust will increase by the points we exploit, of course, pure luck is still something very special here, we cannot use skill or experience to overwhelm luck.

Gambling is all about luck, that's why...

1. You must not take loan or borrow money to gamble.

2. You must have a job and steady income going on, to maintain your personal life before thinking about taking some for gambling.

3. The only skill that's there for gambling is been responsible and being a gambler, yes it's possible, if you want it to be possible.

4. You must accept the fact about gambling, it's not a way to get your rich, it's more difficult to make something valuable from gambling than your job or business, gambling certainty belongs to the casinos, they are always the true winners.

Sports bet on the other hand is a bit different from Slots and Dice, you can get good results using analysis with Sports bet but all in all, it's all about luck at the end of the day, make sure you use only what you can afford to lose.
