Is gambling all about luck?

[sotelorene]

Well in my own opinion I think it depends, reason been that their are some people who has experience in gambling and also familiar with the betting options. their are also some people who doesn't have experience at all talk more of knowing the betting options, they always end up making the wrong selections, reason is because they don't even understand anything in gambling. probably they can just decide to give it a try,this set of people can only win in gamble if luck is on their side.

Yes gambling is a game of luck and skills,  because not all gambling games depends on poor luck to win them,  some games don't come out based on uncertainty which makes them be categorized as luck, that kind of game always results based on the individual contributions in terms of skills and experience of the gambler,  many times games are based on skills and experience and just less luck is needed.

Please specify for us what you mean specifically when you use the concept of “skill,” because, as far as I know, gambling no longer requires more than proficiency in using smart applications that operate on the Internet. What skill are those who are making profits using, or what skill are those who are losing missing? I have tried many times to establish the belief that there are skills that can be relied upon, but I found that they are also theories based on prior speculation and not on verification proof.
If we limit ourselves to the concept of entertainment, they are nothing more than games that do not require a great deal of intelligence or any special skills to play. But when it comes to the concept of profit and loss, the matter is nothing more than pure luck. Perhaps in sports betting it is possible to follow a specific betting strategy, but this does not reduce the chances of relying on luck.

When it comes to professional gamblers, they rely not only on luck, but also on their skill. Some poker masters can win a round even with bad cards only thanks to their ability to bluff. Therefore, in certain gambling games, skill is as significant a factor as luck. Personally, I do not rely on my skill, because as much as I have tried to learn all the wisdom of gambling, I have never succeeded. I rely to a greater extent on luck.

I think you are right and that's another aspect of gambling but in sports bet there's nothing like skill or professional in this aspect of gambling and most times even the people we call professional make the highest loss and at same time the highest gain and I believe on grace though most people mistake it to luck just as op said it's luck.

Grace? I am much more comfortable using the word coincidence instead of luck or grace.

Sure, even professionals will lose. I mean, just look at what happened recently, almost all the basketball analysts are predicting that the Dallas Mavericks would win Game 3 and yet they didn't. How much money was lost that day because almost every basketball fan thought the same thing unless you are a Celtics fan.
Sports betting is not an assured bet, it can go south and we must still be ready if that happens. Losing is part of gambling and understanding that as early as possible will be the key to be a better gambler.

Many have thought about achieving same but didn't succeed. It's almost impossible, but some games like poker drops more opportunity on an experienced player. Talking about luck it's quite an attribute, but gamblers also have the expectations of winning some day in gambling . The luck may not come as a surprise to some gamblers anymore. Winning should have made players calm if it was a complete luck, without expectations. The luck most times gets the player sad, because it came the moment they wagered little amount of money. Many times I think of luck as something we receive without expectations. Regardless of how sizeable or small it is the person would be happy the moment they get lucky. Gamblers only feel lucky when they win huge amount of money. The happiness in them would emerge.

I believe gambling depends a lot on luck, as I have gambled many times before to win the jackpot. And many times I have bet to win the bet but I still compete in the hope of winning the jackpot. But there is no way to win the jackpot, but if you notice that the only luck is not written then there is no way to win the jackpot.

I mean skills that can be acquired. What is called skill in poker is nothing but the ability to read the psychology of players and influence their decisions, and it depends on the gambler’s personality, that is, his psychological makeup, and is not a skill in the strict sense. That is, no one who knows the rules of poker can acquire these qualities, and even if he acquires them, he does not necessarily have the ability to apply them.
Even if we consider these gains as skills, this does not allow us to say that profit in gambling in general depends in part on skill. Can you tell me other gambling games that rely on these skills? I do not think these descriptions are accurate to any extent.

Not only sports betting but all gambling, there is no chance of certainty in any bet. When one places a bet he must think that he will lose that bet. Those who only try to win will never win. I would agree with the OP's topic that gambling is all about luck. If one does not leave it to luck in gambling then he is bound to face huge losses. Those who have skill and experience will be ahead to win in gambling but there is no chance of guaranteeing the win.

I like your opinion because basically many people are like that, I on the contrary trust a lot in my ability, but sometimes I really lack a lot of luck, because sometimes I make games that I say wow or I knew I could develop something like that, but as the game depends almost more than 50% on luck, sometimes things don't work out, but I invite you to have more confidence in your ability, it's the only way you can gain experience, if you gain more confidence with what you know and if luck is on your side, I think things will go better for your playing style.

It is sad to realize that not even all winnings for gamblers are happiness.
After all, there is also a FOMO in the casino, and if a gambler has multiplied his bet several times, he will regret that he did not bet enough money this time.
But if I had bet all the money, then the huge resulting winnings would have closed all the financial problems of this gambler.
Although we all know that most likely such a gambler would continue to play, because it's not enough just to close debts, he needs to make a full life change in his life.
Although by all the rules of logic, after a big win, a gambler needs to stop playing at the casino.

Losing in gambling is indiscriminate; whether you are rich or not, lucky or unlucky, you will certainly experience it as a gambler. Then it's likely that other gamblers who believe that
gambling is a source of income may be saying this because they are really just relying on luck.

For example, if you play slot games, no skills are needed here because it's purely a matter of luck so that you can win a large amount of money.
That's all I see in slot games, honestly speaking.

Most people think that gambling and betting are luck based only while few are of the point of view that sports betting involves some sort of skills and strategy but they are wrong. Sports betting just allows you to see the history of that sport and its players and based upon that you cannot take your decisions. Still, we cannot predict 100% correctly the outcome of the game and hence in the end it is also luck that we win the sports bet.
Yes, we can calculate odds, and make up different strategies as to go with low capital on higher odds and high capital on lower odds or some other ways, but in the end, it all comes down to the luck. If you are lucky, even the most favorite team may lose and you may win the bet if you placed the bet on the underdog team.

[samuraijin]

It's not a matter of luck, but of courage in betting and seeing the moment to place a bet, because luck is not a matter of the day or carrying a talisman, but knowing the right moment is where the luck will come, indeed not all gambling requires luck, there are also fraudulent gambling  or gambling that has been arranged, and all players hope for luck but it is difficult to get that luck, but if you play the right gambling then there is a big chance of getting luck.

Of course, because basically some bets will be able to provide opportunities for gamblers to create their own opportunities in completing games or betting predictions, this can also create sense of confidence even though it does not guarantee victory.
Gambling has many options given to gamblers, and indeed, whatever the game or betting that relies on skill, only few gamblers can really enjoy it easily.
Most gamblers still really like games of luck because they are much easier to play and do not require skills and thinking in analyzing or predicting the results.
But if we look at the results and the winning percentage for gamblers, we will all see that the chances of winning are much greater if we choose bets opportunities by using skills or knowledge.

Well, why not? Many gamblers feel the happiest even when they increase their bankroll in 2-3 times. In my opinion, the main problem with many gamblers is that they set themselves such goals, the fulfillment of which is sometimes unrealistic. Set yourself easily achievable goals and then gambling will meet your expectations more often. Any gambler should realize that gambling is a zero-sum game, and in such a game, the higher the winnings, the less likely it is.

But there is no way to win the jackpot, but if you notice that the only luck is not written then there is no way to win the jackpot.

I believe more in chance and coincidence, and then there's the RTP.
Let's say you are losing about $500 and suddenly you will have a max multiplier equivalent to $500 too. That just means the gambling site is giving back what you lost but it just took a lot of time before it did.
I realized this when I was playing original games. Keno for example, you will be surprised at how exact the given amount will be from the amount you lost and then it's going to take some because the house edge is working.
Playing that long in different games, even Plinko, I've seen that it's not about luck but mostly about the RTP.

I'm not sure that we have a clairvoyant eye that can see the lucky moment that can come in gambling, almost every sense when it comes to gambling shows that in just a few more games, it will be a miraculous victory, but the senses seem to be working in the wrong direction, these are just feelings created when gambling and as a result, no magic happens. That means we don't know the principles of how luck works or when it comes, it's very intangible and figurative, sometimes it's just endless beliefs that a gambler deifies but clearly, proper arrangement and planning contributes to increasing the odds of luck being activated

That is for sure because they feels luckiest person if they can increase their bankroll. Not many people can do that instead just lose their money no matters how hard they try.
They can set their goals but they must be realistic to see that gambling can not always gives what they wants to they must understand that if they can not achieve their goals, they must stop gambling immediately. It is better not have anything to achieve in gambling because that will makes us enjoy the gambling games as a fun thing.
We will not trying so hard to wins the games because we know that gambling is just part of the entertainment. We must realizes that when we playing gambling, we risks our money but we can limits our losses.

[Gaza13]

Maybe one of the reasons why others think that winning in gambling is really just luck is that those who don't expect to win the jackpot in gambling are the ones who often get the jackpot.
And those who still hope and always gamble are the ones who will never experience luck.

Those who lose a little while playing gambling are the ones who often win the jackpot, and those who lose a lot while gambling are still the ones who often lose. It's weird, isn't it?

This is not always a benchmark. How little or how much we play there will influence that person's victory. It was very difficult for us to shoot or get lucky (jackpot) that night. This depends on how one controls the game. If they get more chances to win that night, then you could say they were lucky that night. It could be that they are really free in playing, they gamble just to channel their hobby or have fun and if they do experience defeat then they are ready for it and don't think too much about it.

Most gamblers see gambling as an opportunity to make quick money, but they forget that at the same time it carries great risks. I have already mentioned that sometimes I can finish a gambling session increasing my bankroll by 20-50%. This is good money for me considering that the casino has an advantage over me. Naturally, it is not always possible to leave the game on time, very often I leave the casino with empty pockets. If I had set myself the goal of ending the gambling session when my bankroll increases by 5-10 times, I would probably more often end the gambling session with empty pockets. So, properly set goals in gambling are no less important than luck.

[Bravut]

Gambling is all about Chance, not necessarily luck. I believe the probability of winning is low when it comes to gambling, so it then means gamblers gamble expecting to win based off the chances available in such probability game. If we say luck, does that imply that others who loss are unlucky..!! While Gamblers that win are lucky...!!!.
There is no such thing, it based off your interpretation of the game, analysis and chance present.
When Chance meets opportunity based on your predictions and analysis it leads to winnings. 

Nothing concerns the Algorithm of Casino with Luck.

All gambling games is all about luck be it sport betting or casino games. Because even the most obvious wins in sport betting could latter turn into loss. A game of 4:0 can end up with 4:4 draw so there is nothing you can do about it. We only make predictions to make the games more fun by thinking and using our own perspective to make predictions, and if we eventually we often take the glory as good predictors, but we only won because luck was on our side. Anyone who don't believe in luck is likely to spend their time making up assumptions how the casino program works in other to ensure continues win. Yeah I heard of some folks studying the games with respect to time, thinking they can accurately make predictions just by learning all those tricks.
