Is gambling all about luck?

[Z_MBFM]

Imo gambling is 50/50 about luck, and other 50 goes to money. I have stated for myself that people gamble for two reasons, to test their luck and to earn some money. I saw people say that gambling is about having fun, I even myself have thought like that. But lately, when I started to feel pressure or be nervous after placing a bet, then it does not looks like having fun. However, I cant say that being lucky is enough to be good at gambling. Can we say that in gambling luck=random? As gambling is full of random occasions.

Trying your luck and gambling for money is the same thing. When you are trying your luck, you are doing that to see if you can win some money or not, and when you are gambling for money, you are basically trying your luck, so they are the same thing in different wording. However, when someone asks if gambling is all about luck or not, one should say that if you are talking about gambling games, then yes, it's all about luck when you are playing a game as the outcome will be random and dependent on your luck.

But, if they are talking about sports betting, then one can say that it is more about knowledge, experience, and skills with just a small influence of luck because it's your knowledge and experience about a sport that enables you to choose the best side when a match is happening and luck will only intervene in some cases where the team that is unlikely to win manages to win.

For casilo slot game is all about luck but sports betting require gaming skill and knowing about team and players. All casino games can win a huge amount with a small bet as it appears in their advertisement but when actually played, nothing like that happens. But the addiction to winning something makes us continue to gamble. Chances of losing are greater than winning in gambling. I recently lost something big myself which gave me a bad experience. So we should give up the bad habit of gambling while we have time and enjoy gambling with the amount that we have the ability to accept loss.

[Betwrong]

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. I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.

The probability of you winning every is almost zero. Even if we take poker, a game that is not based on luck but mostly on skill, the top players like Daniel Negreanu can't guarantee winning every game. However, if we are talking about winning any game, the situation is entirely different. Especially with totally luck-based games. Anyone can win in them. It shouldn't be in your head whether you'll win or lose the next spin in dice because you can't affect the result in any way.

You can control yourself until the desire to win something big works in you. To win big you must gamble with big amounts.  And when you gamble with a large amount, once you lose that amount it will not be easy to recover. And you will panic.  And once you panic, you lose control of yourself. And if you lose control, you will face huge losses. That is why one should gamble only for the enjoyment of gambling.If one wants to earn from it and become rich or meet his daily expenses, he must face losses.

Gambling is not completely all about making money, some gamblers still gamble as a means of just having fun and making time to wind faster, though they are still very happy to make some money if and when luck smiles on them.

And to answer your question in the subject of this thread, gambling is not completely all about luck, though the greater part of portion of it still very much depends on how lucky the gambler is, there are several types of games, which come with different categories when we talk about luck based and non-luck-based games.
Like for example, slot and casino games are completely luck-based games, which simply means that winning in any of the games in this category will have everything to do with how lucky the gambler is, but coming to sports betting, i personally believe that sports betting is a knowledge based game, together with luck, this means that one have to be highly knowledgeable in sports to increase his or her chances of winning every bet, and the gambler also have to be lucky as well.

And we still have other category of games that are skill-based games, we find person to person (PVP) games mostly in this category.

The scenario you described is quite good and easy to understand, it is true and I agree with you that indeed, to get a big win then you have to put a large amount of budget as well, but the question is whether you are sure or very sure that the final result will be in accordance with what you want? I would emphatically say NO, why? how can you expect something in a place that always depends on luck, doesn't it make sense? and that means the final result will always be unknowable and what is more likely is that gamblers will usually experience more losses than wins because just think the casino will not be so easy to give you free wins. Another thing that is more likely and in accordance with the facts is that as you said, they will be able to get a win if they have sacrificed a lot of losses, instead of getting a big win but the opposite happens, you actually experience big losses and have difficulty breaking even.

After that, I'm sure you will gamble with the intention of catching up with the previous losses and you will definitely enter the addiction phase like others who always suffer from downturns and will also gamble with the impetus of emotions that end up losing control. That's right, so it's better to gamble for fun so you don't end up in a slump.

Right, I really agree with what you said. So I think most of us gamblers believe that our winnings are always based on luck. That means that no matter what others say, if they have a technique to win, you will always end up being lucky in the end.

Because the gamblers who do what they thought were effective tricks that they experienced to win and their winnings grow and then, in the end, are still lost, such scenarios are still based on luck and bad luck.

There is no problem if you feel like trying your luck with gambling, the truth is some gambler do win money here and there with gambling, you can be lucky, sorry if many gamblers on here are making gambling to be scary, the problem is many of them took gambling as their only source of income.

If something is based on luck 🎲 you should understand that it's possible to lose money, and if you don't want to feel sad about this it's better to use only what you can afford to lose, this can't be really that hard.

Some people still gamble in a casino for hours looking to getting lucky, but they end up going back home with nothing, if it's a bad day for you there is nothing you can do to turn it around and if you start winning your games, it's better to take your wins and quit the casino.

In gambling, there are only two possibilities, winning and losing, so those who want to gamble must be aware of this and not expect too much to win. Some gamblers can win some dollars, but many also lose from gambling, so instead of gambling, they continue gambling. Indeed, gambling depends on luck, so gamblers don't need to be too serious about gambling.

If they choose sports betting, they must have the skills to analyze the matches to be able to choose teams or players who have a greater chance of winning. But it will come back to their luck because the results can not always match their analysis. But if it is a luck-based gambling game, you really need luck to win.

Testing luck for what? There must be a reason on why you are doing that. The main reason of the majority would be is to earn money after. When I do, I won't give 50% to it because I think that was a lot already and it was like I'm playing the game for real with that. I think I'm only allocating 20% to it, so that once I know that my luck is not there yet, I can only lose small amount of money.

There are people who play for fun, but it's not always 100%, as some of them are still hoping that they will get lucky and earn something bigger. Yes you are right that being lucky isn't enough. Even though the game we play is chance-based, we still need to be wise and stop once we think we are already in profit.

[junder]

Obviously the name of gambling or betting all the final results are always about how lucky you are at that time, no matter what type of gambling you do whether it is really purely relying on luck like slots or skill-based like sports etc.. With luck always determining whether you will win or lose in that session then it is clearly not at all advisable for anyone to be too excessive in his gambling, you will only really be able to benefit if you come with the right mindset and also with the intention of just looking for fun, that is more recommended.

There are many facts that prove that for anyone who is too excessive in his gambling involvement with the intention of earning income then usually what happens instead they will experience a lot of defeat, to be honest I really can't think of those who gamble with the intention of earning, when on the other hand this is just an activity for entertainment only. And also on the other hand luck is always unknowable when it comes, so it's better to gamble reasonably, don't overdo it and use small money that you can be responsible for whatever the results are, it's better because the results of gambling always depend on your luck which is unknown when it comes.

Our winnings could also base on luck and sometimes on how skillful we appear in gambling, especially when we are playing on bets we know how to do best, this is also what goes along with our experience and how we understand the whole procedures involved, even we may not leave one for the other in this context, we all need both luck and skills to make gambling enjoyable by us.

We cannot also assummed that only the experience gamblers are the ones always winning, as a matter of fact, a lucky newbie can also bet and win, while the experience gambler loosing, this is all fun to me because everyone gambling has thesame chances for winning or loosing.

Really that hard to believe on that people are really just that playing for fun and not for money. Of course there's fun but money will really be your main priority and lets not really deny to that
because it is really just that normal for human nature to have that kind of approach.  It is really just that they do lost that kind of right thinking on how they should really that get involved with gambling
or simply making themselves that responsible. There would be no problems if they are really just that mindful with their actions. Gambling is really just that relies on luck but there are types of games
on which it would really be that also needing that good knowledge and skills and of course luck will be always the main recipe.

[moneystery]

as the title suggests, gambling is not always about luck, sometimes you also need emotional control, strategy and good analysis in gambling in order to achieve maximum results. because even though luck is the key to successful gambling, there are still several other factors that are needed by gamblers so that they can become successful gamblers and not be careless. even though it is quite complex to explain this, i am sure that gambling is not always about luck.

[AnonBitCoiner]

Sometimes a person when fixes a bet on something and have knowledge about it then he can win in gambling but in most of the cases the situation is opposite like you will bet again and again in order to make your luck better but as a result of if you are making gambling more complicated for you. I think one should leave gambling after every win or loss for sometimes because in such way you will not feel greedy after win and you will not gambler continuously to recover money after loss.

Lucky individuals win in gambling but who knows that when their luck will help them and when they become unlucky as luck is hidden feature of individuals about which no one knows. Gambling should be limited to only few hours because more you gamble more you will be addicted and more money you will loss.

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. I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.

The probability of you winning every is almost zero. Even if we take poker, a game that is not based on luck but mostly on skill, the top players like Daniel Negreanu can't guarantee winning every game. However, if we are talking about winning any game, the situation is entirely different. Especially with totally luck-based games. Anyone can win in them. It shouldn't be in your head whether you'll win or lose the next spin in dice because you can't affect the result in any way.

I think the spin we do in casinos is 100% based on luck, maybe some gamblers use some tricks to spin the casino wheel but that trick doesn't work in all cases. Spinning the casino wheel is largely dependent on luck, but betting on various sports is not entirely dependent on luck. Where bets are placed on sports, your sports based skills will make you more likely to win the bet. You know well about the sport and you have enough knowledge about each team on the other hand a person who has no idea about the sport or has no idea about the team then who will win the bet here is definitely the one who has knowledge about the sport. As gambling is divided into different categories, considering the different categories we have to say that in some cases gambling is directly dependent on luck and in some cases gambling is dependent on luck and skill.

[junder]

In my opinion, it depends on the type of game, if for slot games I think luck plays a big role, because there is no good skill to guarantee victory but luck plays an important role in slot gambling, why is that? Slot gambling does not need good skills even though there are people who are considered experts in slots, I don't think they will get their winnings if they are not lucky and vice versa, people or beginners who gamble slots play by basing if they have strong luck they can get a win just like the lottery,

Unlike poker where skill plays a bigger role, because poker is a game with math at its core, so people who are experts in math can do pokern gambling by using their expertise in math. this is clearly about skill not about luck.

[EluguHcman]

Without an opinion to making cash out of gambling then the goal of gambling is absolutely nuisance then I don't see it as gambling anymore but such as they may say it is a game of fun.
How ever, there are two categories of gambling which are skill-based gambling which has you a potential probability to win because an analytical and energymatic transformation is required so if you can surpass an opponents systematics then there goes confident chances to your winning while if you have to get into the chance-based gambling then that is simply where the lucks are termed relied.
In a chance-based gambling, everyone is flexible to winning and everyone is flexible to loosing and doesn't consider one being experienced or inexperienced as an advantage to win or loose.

It is always a choice to decide. So if you are confident enough to your skillful base, then you should have confidence to win but must know your level of skill is probably a low one to some person's. So, this could be a ,50/50 levels of confident while in the chance-based you have a zero confidence to loose and zero confidence to loose because its winning is specifically hover by luckiness.

Yeah, gambling is really all about being lucky in general, even though there are still some lapses, like playing some gambling games which ultimately requires skills or knowledge to win, games like sports betting and live card games for example.

But again., gambling is not all about winning all the time as well, for consistent winning is not something that is possible with or in gambling, most gamblers keep playing not because they expect to win consistently, but because, they are hopeful that one day, they may win an amount of money that will completely change their lives, this is for those who gamble for money though, as I believe that there are still gambler out there who play for fun.

Exactly, luck is something that no one can control and so we should not rely on it even if we believe in it, improving and relying on the stuff that you can control like the ones that you have mentioned is what anyone should be focusing if they want to be competent and get a lot of fun out of their gambling journey and experience. I do think that gambling is about luck but it is also about going against it and trying your own luck.

Luck will only come to the right person, but we don't know how long luck will be on our side. And after we get lucky by winning, we should be able to stop gambling because we can't hope that luck will always be with us. Indeed, gambling does not only require luck but also analysis and skill, but that is for skill-based gambling games. Meanwhile, for luck-based gambling games, we must have the luck to win. Indeed, sometimes we are confused about whether gambling is just about luck or whether there are other things, such as analysis and skill, because it depends on the gambling game we play. But whatever it is, we must still limit gambling activities and also limit the use of money.
