Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why...

[bluebit25]

Orienting gamblers to the opportunity to have a sustainable income is important, but of course we aim for honesty so we can all understand that that opportunity is not for the crowd.
I can agree that skill is an indispensable part of this field, and almost anything requires good skill to be able to achieve victory. I have a lesson in life, "instead of getting stuck in every game in life, control it by letting go", which means being in control always gives you an advantage over tinkering with everything.

But I still want to express that I have no intention of becoming a professional player because this field is too stressful for me, and moreover, psychological control is not a strength that I can take advantage of in this field. So I can only consider them as means of entertainment.

To believe that you can consistently make money gambling is one of the worst thing you can do. We all know that casinos are designed to have a house edge. it is how they make their profit. This means, over the long run, the house is always more likely to win than the gambler. Sure, some guys do hit big wins or have lucky streaks, but this is more about chance than skill or strategy. Relying on gambling as a steady income source is risky 'cause, in the end, the odds are always against you. Thinking positive won't change the math behind the games.

Those who think like that must immediately change their mindset by realizing that they cannot make money consistently from gambling. They need to know that gambling is not a place to make money but only to get entertainment so they will not try to win every gambling game. They can only enjoy every moment of their gambling activities and cannot expect to win their gambling games. That is why they must be able to think clearly, not make gambling a permanent source of income, and prefer to look for other places to make money.

However, I haven't seen or heard anyone say that he or she have built a house or bought a house with gamble money, maybe as it is hard to win in gamble it is also hard to use gamble winnings to achieve what we want.
Even if we have make a plans to buy something or achieve something, as long as it is while we are gambling, it will be hard to stick to the plans at that time we win money from gamble.
Although, it is only hard for those that are addicted to gamble and the new gamblers but if in any case they are so disciplined, then it will not be a big deal for them to stick to they plans that they have.

If you're someone who doesn't believe anyone can be profitable in gambling, you might as well consider yourself not welcome in this thread. I'm looking for people who maintain optimism about their chances in gambling so they can share valuable insights.

Now, let's hear your opinion. In 3...2...1... go!

I do think that we can be profitable in gambling over a long period of time. In case we want to make profit during every gambling session I don't think it's realistic. There are always winning and losing streaks and we can't force to change them. It's like in life, there will be good and there will be bad days. That is why when I notice I am having a bad day in gambling, I will just take a break for the night and try again the next day. Chasing losses is one of my earlier days mistakes that I am trying to avoid now. The best approach I have to longterm profitability is to try and limit losses as much as possible. Avoiding to go broke is very important, because only with capital we can recover our losses in the future again. Also, when I am running good and have a winning streak I try to increase my bets to get the most money out of it.

Maybe some people can really build a house or buy a house with gambling money but they don't tell it to many people and only those closest to them. But it is difficult to get big wins from gambling so many people cannot get it. They experience losses more often than wins so they cannot earn money from gambling.

If you make plans to buy something but use the money you earn from gambling, you should forget about it because you won't know when you will be able to make money from gambling. You should look for money from other places that have more opportunities to make money than from gambling.

Based on your experience as a gambler, do you find gambling profitable? What I mean is you're able to win more rather than losing your money? Being optimistic that you can indeed make money in gambling often leads to disappointment because everything didn't go according to planned.

It's because regardless of what skills you have, the strategy you use and the way you manage your bankroll, the fact still remain, that in gambling you need luck. It's the major factor to win (even in skill-based games). Therefore I don't believe in consistent winning or you can can make money through it. Unless, you became lucky to hit a jackpot like in lottery.

[redsun114]

Personally, I firmly believe that there are people who have achieved real success in gambling. What perplexes me is why many discourage gambling as a means of making money. Instead of outright saying no, they could guide gamblers with the right strategies on how to stay disciplined, enhance skills, minimize the risk of bankruptcy, and increase the chances of winning.

I start to doubt if you are gambling. I have been gambling since February 2014 and I know a lot about gambling when it comes to profit and loss. It is good to let people know the bad side. Nobody is discouraging gambling, but newbies should know that gambling is not a way of earning income, this is where the addiction starts. As for most people, the success in gambling is not actually the money you make from it, it is what you achieved from it and a way you will be able to avoid losses with the money you can not afford to lose by not using such money to gamble.

Many of us have started gambling when we are still a kid but as kid, we have a less understanding yet about how gambling works. It was only when we became an adult realize the truth about it. Of course it is very good, to let people know the bad side of it because what is often publicize is only its good side. It gives a wrong impression to the people.

Speaking of wrong impression, there are also people who only see its bad side, in which they can discourage people to get involved with it. I know this is crazy but I think that was also better. As they say, prevention is always better than cure. Among the 10 people who will try gambling, I think over 5 of them can get addicted to it.

[danherbias07]

As I said in the other thread, it can be done but it might take a lot of time and deeper pocket. If not, small bets are also good but the time it will consume will be longer.
It's possible because I have seen it but not on a daily basis because there will be times that the gambling site will take away the money.
Now, after a win, it will be to the gambler on how he will manage it. Either withdraw early or look for a game that doesn't rely on house edge. Sports betting for example and then there's live casinos. Crash is also not a house edge style and if you are not that greedy you can win on this game.
Casino games, all the time, or most of the time take back everything, and trust me I have seen it because of the number of bets that I made in small amounts. It's like you are just playing tag with the casino where your money goes back and forth.
Those who are good with sports though will probably have the best chance of making consistent money and I think there are members here who already made lots of profits from it.

As you've read the thread title, I'll continue the explanation here, as it cannot accommodate additional text. I've come across numerous topics and posts where gamblers express disbelief in the idea of consistently making profit through gambling. It makes me question whether these individuals are truly involved in gambling or if they're posting without the real experiences and knowledge. Personally, I firmly believe that there are people who have achieved real success in gambling. What perplexes me is why many discourage gambling as a means of making money. Instead of outright saying no, they could guide gamblers with the right strategies on how to stay disciplined, enhance skills, minimize the risk of bankruptcy, and increase the chances of winning.

Now, let's hear your opinion. In 3...2...1... go!

OP do you really believe the success of a gambler depends on the optimistic attitude towards gambling, staying discipline and enhancing skill? OP I believe that if these were the case then we'd be recording more successes than losses in gambling but we all know that's not the case here. No one says gambling isn't a means of making money, but considering it a means of steady cash flow of as an additional stream of income is what we consider to be wrong... Gambling is just about skill mate, it's majorly about luck and chances, and we know that these things can't be a product of your gambling skills, what are your chances of winning and how lucky can you be, yes you can increase your chances of winning but what's the guarantee that you'll get lucky, or you don't also believe luck plays a vital role there?

No gambler gambles with the intentions of loosing, we are all optimistic about winning, and we gble with hopes for the best but it doesn't mean that our hopes would guarantee a win, losses would still come, you know what they say, too much expectations brings too much disappointment. If you go gambling with the expectations of just making profits and no losses and you eventually meet the opposite trust that you'll meet a load of disappointment. But if you have a win/win technique that we can use to avoid losses and always record more and steady wins, we'd be happy to hear it.

[Negotiation]

Gambling is a good way to spend leisure time but it is not good to overcome anything. Most gamblers do not believe that they can earn money consistently but they are in a different way in the case of responsible gamblers. They know all the strategies of gambling and their attitude is positive if they can become greedy or control themselves so these gamblers are gaining a lot of success. But not everyone's attitude is the same most gamblers become more addictive after greed when they lose control they cannot earn because they are at risk of losing money. Gambling addiction can have a profound impact on people which causes significant problems in various areas of their lives. Self control is good for gambling helps avoid harm.

First of all, I hope you understand that gambling isnt for everything and know how gambling works. Gambling as itself does not generate money out of nothing. When someone looses, other obtains a slightly bigger chance to earn. Of course casinos have their balances, but they arent infinite. In general, for casino to be able to pay you, someone must lose. And is what makes it not the best way to make money. Or I could say that to be able to make money in gambling, you must also lose money. And does not look like a work. The only thing we lose at work is time.

Don't ignore those people who earn the jackpot price on lottery since for sure those people can buy all things that they want for winning such huge amount of money. We see a lot of stories that lotto millionaires buy house and other expensive things. But for gambling on online casino games well maybe its hard to tell if there's really people making a fortune and buy house or other luxury things out of their gambling income. Maybe some didn't broadcast their winning but maybe there's only few of them doing this that's why it didn't get much noise.

I maybe agree that because of gambling we could not possibly buy things that we want but you also need to consider if the person is insane bettor since if this is really the real case then provably we can't really do that. Addicted person hard to control theirselves so expect a worst condition for them. And if we know that its reall bad to go thru this condition then we should set some plan and have good attitude so that we could follow all what we are planning to do.

wow , that is an amazing lesson in life , letting go is something hard to achieve but once you have this to be the lesson and to be a best on it then for sure you will never loss anything from bad experience anymore.

But I still want to express that I have no intention of becoming a professional player because this field is too stressful for me, and moreover, psychological control is not a strength that I can take advantage of in this field. So I can only consider them as means of entertainment.

I believe that very few in which wanted to have that profession lol.

Imagine being a gambler is already a hard task then what more about professionalism in gambling?

[Outhue]

OP if someone like you is living closer to my area I would have love to visit you and we will both visit some casinos together, asking gamblers how many wins they have got this month so far, the result will shock someone like you because it seems you strongly believe that one can make money consistently with gambling.

You claimed that some people may not be into gambling themselves yet they are talking nonsense about gambling, do you know how easy it is for everyone to become a gambler? This is the fastest thing to reason when you want to make money, most people are into gambling, even offf this forum.

I have gambled many times and today I still gamble, and I am telling you right now that they way you manage your bankroll is the only thing that makes you a better gambler, everything else is fake, luck isn't something that comes to you consistently, how do you think that you can keep winning consistently? With what method? How many old gamblers do you know that have shared their past years of gambling with you?

[Kelvinid]

Some people will say they could earn money from gambling and others will also say that they lose --and all of these are possibly based on their experience. Because as I was into gambling, sports betting, and lottery tickets, I could say that there is a different experience between the two where you have a bigger chance to win in sports betting than lotteries. Now, if you were just playing sports betting you can simply say that you earn more but those gamblers played in pure luck base games, the majority will say that they lose more as well.

Maybe it's possible as luck might bring you those opportunities and with good understanding and capability to handle situation like this you may leave the house and withdraw all your money to enjoy and use it for such leisures that you plan to do if by chance happens to you. Though the chances are slim, we never know, right? Lottery winners are a good example and they just learn with great luck to make it happen and to achieve certain goals.

Yes but the chances are very small friends to be able to get that much luck, so I don't think it's too much to gamble, another thing like you said if you have gotten a little luck and won then it's better to go home immediately and enjoy the money from your luck, going home with a face full of smiles is better than you keep repeating the same mistakes like acting greedy and again going home in tears, situations like that are very boring, so you should have the opportunity at least once to be able to enjoy the results of your struggle when you are really lucky.

I think whatever kind of gambling you do whether it's skill-based or pure luck like slots or whatever it is like the lottery you say honestly just never take it too seriously to get the results that match what you want, because if the end result doesn't match it's the same as you create a chance of disappointment for yourself by putting high hopes, so look for sure - just sure in my opinion.

This is correct. You can possibly earn on gambling if you knew when to stop. There’s always a time which a gambler experience on his game but keeps playing to earn more and that is the moment he started to lose.

Some gamblers manage to earn profit but that doesn’t mean they will not lose it all if they will come back again. Knowing when to stop is the key to secure profit on gambling since no one can have consistent profit on games that has a house edge advantage.

I do not know why the gamblers still believe that they can get consistent income from gambling. Yes, those who are new or those who have never been involved in gambling, they may have this point of view but those who regularly gamble, they know how difficult it is to win consistently in gambling.

No matter how good you are in gambling, or how much experience you have, it is not possible to get a consistent income from gambling. Sometimes you may win more than expected while at times you lose more than you anticipated.

Gamblers need to re-evaluate their thought process if they think that they can earn a regular income from gambling. If they think it is possible, i would ask them to share examples of themselves or anyone who has been able to produce constant income from gambling.

Well, as the OP said, we can't stop them from believing that they could win or that a gambler can earn more if they keep on playing. Well, what the OP says is true; we can't stop them from believing what they want to believe and to do; in fact, it's their own life. We are just here to give advice or whatever. It is also true that many people here are being hyprocrite about gambling, things about limiting the gambling habit, or whatever for the sake of posting here, so yeah, we can't debunk what they want to believe.

Gambling is all about possibility—the possibility to have luck and win a big jackpot, or the possibility to be a loser in the end. It's all about possibility. If they want to risk that, or a gambler wants to risk that, then it's their own choice. We can't stop them; we are just here to give guidance if they need it, but of course the only ones who have the right to give advice are those who really have experience in gambling.
