Are you in profit?

[cafter]

I have noticed some individuals claiming to be successful in gambling.
but, my personal experience with online gambling platform over the past 8 months has been consistently unprofitable
I haven't broken even or made any gains. I'm curious if anyone in our community has actually achieved profitability through gambling. If yes, we can calculate that how much percentage of us are profitable.
I know most of the people pay to win and deposit to recover previous losses.

Most people gambling aren't exactly rolling in dough.  That's how casinos stay in business after all.  They've got the edge over us. 

I've heard the stories about people hitting it big, but those are the special cases in my opinion.  As for me? My online gambling escapades haven't exactly made me rich.  Probably just like you... But that's the gambling life, isn't it? Sometimes it feels like the luck's on your side, and then there are those days that make you question everything.

Ever think about calling it quits? Haha just messing around, of course.

The gambler posses the loss sometimes and gain sometimes,but the same was depend on the specific time.No one can say the certain gambler will do the loss all the time or gain all the time.The gambling site will provide the chance for the gambler to win and loss.So making loss or profit doesn't important one at the certain time,the gambler should wait like the vulture for the food.One day gambling will allow the gambler to win the big amount.So the gambler who survive in the market after the specific amount of the loss.The gambler would not share their loss in the gambling sites.Because their friend will make the fun on them.So when the time comes,the gambler will made the profit more then the loss money in the gambling sites.So at the time of the profit the gamblers can share to their friends.

I've also read some gamblers claiming to be successful in gambling, but I don't see any evidences they are really being. Everyone who I know is having more losses than winnings, and that is expected, since the house edge is against them on long term. There are few exception of successful gamblers and personally, I don't know any of them, although I'm sure they do exist. They are the jackpot and lottery winners who are lucky enough to hit a huge prize once in a lifetime. Every other average gamblers you are aware of, are just killing their time and having some fun betting, because in no way they are profiting from gambling on long term.

never bothered checking whether I'm on the green or in the red. Why? Cause I know that gambling is beneath me.

That's not to misconstrue, I gamble just like any other guy in this board, sometimes even more than some of you lol. It's just that, for me to be so invested about checking whether I'm on a net profit or net loss would require so much mental work that I could've invested on other important stuff, like actually looking for a job that could pay me. To circumvent the negative effects that not checking your winnings and gambling history could bring, I make sure to be disciplined and smart with my gambling decisions as always. I even employed (and I will die in this hill) this particular system where you stop gambling for the day after earning either 3 wins or 3 losses cumulatively. That's how I make sure I don't go off the deep end.

Although the house has the hedge there are gamblers that might have broken even and had profitable gambling life except that his profitable sets of gamblers in gambling their number aren't significant compared to the losing number of gamblers in other words we have a greater number of non profitable gamblers to profitable ones. To bother oneself on which side of the radar you fall in can be daunting it is like keeping the records for losses and winnings - but the question is to what purpose when you can't choose what will happen next win or a loss.

I am also curious to know how many successful gamblers are present on this forum.

I must admit that I am not a successful gambler. I have never been consistent in keeping track of my wins and losses, which has made it difficult for me to keep track of my progress. I have reduced the frequency of my gambling activities and only engage in them when it's necessary. This way, I can avoid losing more than I can afford and maintain a responsible gambling habit.

@OP profitability in gambling is define by how they control their gambling session.  How they are able to stop when they are winning and to be able to stop playing to cut their unlucky session.

So far I am still on break even, I could have been on a green if only I decided to stop when I am having a 3x to 4x win of my bankroll.  But alas, greed sometimes dominate me so I keep on playing until my bankroll got depleted.

I believe most of us here are in negative especially those who are playing without time limitation.

As I stated profitability is dictated by the decision to stop when winning.  Those who are able to win in gambling are those who are able to decide to quit the session and withdraw the winnings to come back again another day.

You are not alone on this.  There are thousands of people out there including me who have been consistent in gambling yet can't boldly say we have recorded one significant win or be made successful through gambling but this does not in any form indicate that there are no genuine persons who have become successful through gambling.

This set of people who are successful in gambling have years  of experience in that field, they study past records and current trends, including slight changes which aid them in making accurate or near-accurate predictions. While we emphasise on the fact that gambling is base on luck, we should also note that having vast knowledge and the right information at the right time helps to some extent.

[Frankolala]

In gambling, it is a norm that you loss more than you gain and this is the reason why it is advisable to see gambling as dun and only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose. I have always gamble and sometimes I win and loss but I don't like thinking of my losses because it is something normal and as long as I enjoyed the entertainment, I am cool with it.

Most people that we hear about their wins, are just one sided people because most of them must have lost big but they wouldn't tell us this so that we don't see them as reckless gamblers. To be successful in gambling is not easy because gambling is based on luck.

[yahoo62278]

Most gamblers are in the red. The only way for most to be in green is by betting once, winning, and quitting forever but what's the fun in that? Me personally, I would say i'm in the red, but I'm not betting a million dollars either.

The best way to profit IMO in gambling is via sportsbetting. I think if you research the teams and have solid info in front of you, you give yourself the best chance to profit consistently.

[GxSTxV]

I have been gambling since ages, It's so hard to calculate the overall revenue. The question for me is do you enjoy gambling and spend a good time while gambling?
For me YES

I would like to share my latest experience in gambling that wasn't good at all, I play a lot of slots on weekly basis (weekends). However, I don't feel lucky anymore especially after changing the casino, now I'm kind of chasing my losses which is a very dumb idea and I don't recommend anyone to do that.
In conclusion, I don't feel that bad while gambling and losing while enjoying. So Yes again I'm in profit.

[Marvelman]

Yeah, It's super annoying hearing people brag about how much money they've made gambling.  But for most of us it's more like we just keep losing over and over lol. 

I also wonder if anyone here has actually managed to come out ahead in the long run? You always hear stories about people getting rich at the casino but I bet most people lose more than they win.  Thats been my experience at least! anyway if anyone has figured out a foolproof system, please share! I'm tired of wasting my money haha!

Pretty sure that im in RED

But i dont really care if im on this kind of level or condition yet i do only play for fun and the amounts that had been used would really be those amounts on which i do able to afford to lose.
Doesnt matter if i do lose as long i do find myself having those entertainment or enjoyment moment or period. Yes, losses  is more than winning but this is the truth in speaking about gambling thing.
You cant really be finding yourself to have assurance to be on positive and you would really be finding yourself that desperate on the time that you would really be that aiming for money.

I agree on some points that the only way that you could be having an advantage on winning isnt on casino based games but rather it would be on sports betting
on which you could really be able to increase your odds of winning if you are really that simply that knowledgeable on the choices that you are making.
We could really be able to apply any analysis on which basing up with some research on which it would be increasing out that kind of chance on hitting the right choice.
Aside from sports betting you could also deal up with some card games which are strategic ones too.

[bittraffic]

It should have been a poll if you wanna know the stats.  For me, I'm not in profit. Reckless bets because of aiming too high. If I have to calculate my loss, it might not be a very huge loss to decide to quit already. Its still good to keep it going. I win today the next day I lose, its the cycle that I'm in.

Gamblers show off only the bets that they won but don't know how much was lost.

[salad daging]

Never profit from the casino because we will never win unless the croupier himself will survive with this business by continuing to be profitable, if calculated all then the percentage of losses is greater than the profit, so I never think that gambling to think of profit because we will not win, just gambling just for fun.

I never chase any losses in gambling, if you lose then it must be at the end of the day and return to play when the extra money is available again, the real thing is that gambling games are just for fun and don't expect too much for profit let alone expect your additional income then it will be difficult to achieve.

I will not do that format because I believe my gambling is in the red zone with many losses.

I don't think there are enough of them, and one of them might be on this forum, it's possible. Actually I think the point of view of successful gamblers can be divided into several things, I often hear that successful gamblers are those who can keep their gambling involvement very well and not too excessive, they only bring a logical and realistic mindset to each gambling session, and on the other hand there are also those who apparently consider that successful gamblers are those who always manage to get big wins consistently, I often hear both of these things.

I agree for the first point that I mentioned above, but for the second one it really doesn't make sense, how can they be so sure that there are successful gamblers who can always get big wins, while on the other hand the proven fact is that usually defeat is more common, because casinos will not be that easy to give them a win especially consistently, it's quite impossible. I think it doesn't hurt for you to check the number of wins and losses, it will be useful to remind you and provide information, if indeed the loss is greater then you should reduce your gambling, I see you have done that and it's good that you have chosen the right thing. Of course it's better to reduce your losses.

Well I am not writing in that format as the RED color would be imperative if I take into account the amount of years I have gambled,yet I have managed to be happy tonight playing my favorite slot Fish Eye,which I play with IDR and tonight I started with 10.000 IDR with min bet of 100 IDR and I am now over 100.000 IDR,it is a rare case for me yet it is true.

I am using my weekly bonus this time and never depositing again big amounts,only small amounts to entertain myself and to keep me going for hours like it is happening tonight with such small balance.As for in profit I need to hit max win with max bet and that would be the only way for me to forget all those reds.

Interesting, I myself if calculated in accumulated in total deposit and the benefits of my gambling is a difficult thing, because there are so many ways that I use to make deposits and also a lot of casinos that I play so far, but if it is felt, I think Feeling that if the nominal profits are calculated from gambling, it is certainly greater in my deposit than the benefits of the money I get from gambling.

But what might be some people looking for from gambling is a pleasure that cannot be converted with the nominal obtained from the casino, of course I feel lucky because so far I feel happy about the gambling that I do.


Yes

I think it all depends on the kind of games op is playing which could be the reason why he was not able to be making consistent profits as a gambler. I don't really know how those people that are always betting on Casino games make profits because I have tried playing many casinos games and I was never in profits. I think that might be based on strategy but It is not always do. Many casino games are not probably fair and that is why many gamblers would always complain that they keep making loses from gambling. It is good for op to check the kind of games he is betting on and now where he's making mistakes.
