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

[ethereumhunter]

I do believe that anyone can be profitable in gambling, so I feel I'm welcome in this thread.

Yep. Anyone can win in gambling, anyone can get profits, and anyone get money! Both experienced and beginners, have the chance.
But to get profits consistently, to get a good luck every time, or to win every time, it is something different. Gambling isn't the right place for the people who expect to get profits/money every time. There is no guarantee for any one to always make money. It is the place for entertainment or to get fun activities with a bonus of earning money.

But the problem is that only a few gamblers can make profits consistently because most gamblers will experience losses and it will cost them all their money if they don't have self-control. And that will have an impact on the wins we can get if we can get lucky because with that luck, we can win. But there is no guarantee that anyone will be able to make money from gambling. Gamblers who have been gambling for a long time should be able to know about luck, which cannot come all the time when we gamble. But every gambler wins, regardless of whether they can win consistently or occasionally because it also depends on the luck and skills they have.

This really depends on on the gamblers mindset. This is like a rich and poor gambler comparison. The rich one sees gambling as an entertainment while for the poor, it was different because in third world country like mine, majority of poor gamblers desperately want a winning streak because of something and that is "money" so they can bring food to their family. I know that some of you might not understand this but that is really what had happen even today.

But that isn't the topic mate. We aren't discussing how the rich approach gambling vs the poor. The thread is about how you can profit from gambling and those who don't believe in that, as OP said, can stay away from the thread .

I think we all win in gambling sometimes but the problem is that we keep gambling more and more until we have lost everything. Knowing when to stop after a win can go a long way to securing profits in gambling. Remember, the casino is a giant fish and you cannot eat the big fish so be happy with what you have won and cash it out!

[jostorres]

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

I am optimistic that profits can be made but I am also of the opinion that it cannot just happen randomly. You have to strategize how you are going to achieve it. I will suggest some options:

Sports

1- Arbitrage Betting: Find 2 sportsbooks offering different odds on the same event. It's usually easier to find on low-ranked games.
2- Cash Out: There are markets where you can bet and within a few minutes cash out in profit. For example, a dota2 game where one team has early game, they are likely to have a lead and then lose the game. You can take advantage of the fact that you know they will have early lead and odds will drop.

Casino

I think the only way to make money from casinos is by using promotions. It can be Eddie ve Stake, deposit bonuses with low wagering requirements, etc.

I would like to point out that many casinos do not like arbitrage. They may increase the deposit/withdrawal percentage (the arbitrageur often deposits and withdraws funds - so he is easy to track), impose restrictions on the number or size of bets or simply block the account

[Franctoshi]

It's just like in trading where they say only 5% of the traders earn money through trading, So it doesn't mean that you won't see people or traders that make profit in the market, so bringing it back to gambling, there are also profitable gamblers but the percentage that earns money through betting is small in relative or compared to the number of people who lose money. Experience and good knowledge, and strategy, discipline are the key things that help one to become a profitable gambler. The majority of gamblers get it wrong and are not willing to learn, they're only desperate about earning money without proper knowledge.

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!

The thing is that although they have this believe and they still gamble, it's because of the thrill and fun experience that most person acquire that makes their brain and mind always want to gamble despite the believe system that gambling can't fetch them steady income, of which I do tend to agree with. Sometimes I wonder the criteria that is behind someone actually being a successful gambler because am sure success and the term gambling is hard to used together and that's my opinion but the way.

Sure, there might be poker players out there, who play professionally and actually make profits somehow. But this type of "career" is almost impossible for most people. And I believe that giving someone false hope that gambling can be a method to earn a stable income is wrong and should not be encouraged. There are enough people with problems in the world of gambling, I see no need to further add on to those problems with such ridiculous claims.

If you want to convince someone that gambling can be a source of income, then you should lead by example and provide proof.

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.

The point is not that you believe or don’t believe in ways to consistently make money in gambling, but the harsh truth of life statistics that most gamblers end up losing. If this were not so, the casinos would have gone bankrupt long ago.

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.

According to the theory of probability, there must be such people. Of course, it’s good to believe, but can you give examples of such gamblers?

What perplexes me is why many discourage gambling as a means of making money.

Maybe because in practice it is almost impossible to implement? Have you thought about this?

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.

Maybe because these correct strategies don't exist, it is impossible to minimize the risk of bankruptcy, as well as increase the chances of winning? What if this is true?

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.

You can officially announce that I am not welcome here.

I'm looking for people who maintain optimism about their chances in gambling so they can share valuable insights.

It is this optimism, bordering on the edge of recklessness and greed, that leads gamblers to debt, poverty and broken lives.

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

Finish.

Allure of gambling which is driven by the thrill and fun experience it provides is a sentiment shared by many. The excitement and unpredictability associated with gambling can indeed be captivating, drawing people despite the prevailing belief that it's not a reliable means of generating steady income. The notion of successful gambling raises an interesting paradox, as success in gambling is often considered elusive due to its inherent risk and dependency on chance. Many people engage in gambling for entertainment rather than with the expectation of consistent financial gains.

Becoming a successful gambler is a complex and multifaceted challenge. It involves a combination of skill, strategy, discipline, and luck. Professional gamblers often focus on games where skill plays a significant role, such as poker or sports betting, and employ a disciplined approach to managing risks. it cant be forgotten to recognize that even the most skilled gamblers face uncertainties. Responsible gambling involves understanding the risks, setting limits, and viewing it as a form of entertainment rather than a reliable source of income.

Yes it is possible or very likely that there are some or even many people who can earn from their gambling in any gambling, but I would not really believe if there is the word consistent in income because in general the risk will always be greater but maybe they have a pretty good way that can minimize the risk and increase the percentage of winning or luck. Of course, when it comes to career I really don't believe a gambler can build a successful career, if there are some people who motivate others that they can use gambling as a place to make a "consistent" income then I think their mindset is disturbed, and as you said it is really not recommended because of the level of risk that is much greater.

There is enough evidence and facts that show that anyone who brings the mindset of wanting to make stable money from gambling always ends up with a downfall and many other problems.  It is just a push of nonsense, and it makes sense as your suggestion if there are people who say like that then we will be able to believe if they provide real evidence, so we must be more careful.

When it comes to consistency then it would really be that surely a non possible thing considering that we are speaking or talking about gambling knowing that chances and odds are really that against
us on long term manner. If you do mold up something like on the idea on having a living with gambling then you are really just that making yourself desperate on trying out to reach something
which it cant really be that too easy to attain or simply it cant really be just that possible. This is why gamblers do really play further because on having these kind of beliefs
on which trying out to achieve and make it that happen that gambling could really make them rich which we know that there are really that slim chances for it to
happen. Greed is what makes you that thinking up that way.

Looking at the Op's perspective, gamblers shouldn't think a player can't make a living through gambling. Because as gamblers we are supposed to have met players who actually earn significant amounts through gambling. Don't know for online gamblers, but physical casinos comprises of these kinds of gamblers. And they also have comps that help gamblers to stay winning by earning points. On the other hand, it's not wrong to think of gamblers not winning consistently in gambling, especially for gamblers who haven't seen or read about such people. Somehow, these people who make a career out of gambling begin early to master how the machines work. Though risky for any other gambler, but a well strategized player that understand the house edge can make a consistent money via gambling. Your second paragraph is right, and it's one of the strategies of professional gamblers. They don't worry about winning big in gambling. The motive is enjoying the process and mastering slot machines or poker games. I grasp Op's obsession about such gamblers, as it sounds like they don't trust the power of gambling. The risk is high, but I keep telling people, that doesn't make it impossible.

There is no one plus one two multiplication formula in gambling, which is why people believe that gambling cannot provide consistent profits. I don't necessarily agree with what you say and everyone has been involved in gambling so they have their own ideas every time they respond to a post. Gambling can make money, but not consistently as you are talking about and if today you win, it could be that tomorrow you will lose.

There is no way to make money consistently in gambling where we win today and lose tomorrow and so on. If you think there is gambling that can produce consistent profits, let's discuss it and show us what gambling you mean? Because if we only discuss assumptions, it's the same as discussing wildly and without references.

No way I will use trading to compare these two. Simply because in trading you are not up against the house, Binance is not fighting you there it's a human being on the other side and Binance (as an example) is just using both parties for their profits.

Gambling is very different when it comes to profit-making. You will need a lot of luck and some skills. Trading can be done using skills or high capital to manipulate the market, as a whale.
How I wish I screenshot all my bets so that everyone will know how bad it is whenever the house is trying to get back what it has lost. Also, do consider that they won't let anyone win when the money comes from bonuses. No way.
Here is my take using experience only. A gambler who used his bonuses can deplete his wallet in just a matter of hours. While a gambler who deposited can deplete his balance in 2 or 3 days. I think many gamblers will agree with me because it's easy to see it once you made hundreds of thousands of bets.
Today, I only made $200 wagered amount from a $10 bonus, while last week I made $1000 wagered amount from a $5 deposit. My point is, defeating the house is impossible and trading is defeating the other guy and the market which I think is more possible than with gambling.

[moneystery]

some people may be able to get consistent profits from their gambling, maybe they have above average analysis and skills, but that is only limited to board games or sports, they will not be able to make money consistently on slot games which are completely based on luck.

and it also only happens to a few people, we cannot generalize that everyone can make money consistently from gambling because it is related to skill, analysis, type of game, etc., that's why consistently making money from gambling is difficult to achieve (not impossible, just hard to achieve).

[tusandii]

I do believe that anyone can be profitable in gambling, so I feel I'm welcome in this thread.

Yep. Anyone can win in gambling, anyone can get profits, and anyone get money! Both experienced and beginners, have the chance.
But to get profits consistently, to get a good luck every time, or to win every time, it is something different. Gambling isn't the right place for the people who expect to get profits/money every time. There is no guarantee for any one to always make money. It is the place for entertainment or to get fun activities with a bonus of earning money.

But the problem is that only a few gamblers can make profits consistently because most gamblers will experience losses and it will cost them all their money if they don't have self-control. And that will have an impact on the wins we can get if we can get lucky because with that luck, we can win. But there is no guarantee that anyone will be able to make money from gambling. Gamblers who have been gambling for a long time should be able to know about luck, which cannot come all the time when we gamble. But every gambler wins, regardless of whether they can win consistently or occasionally because it also depends on the luck and skills they have.

Yes I agree with you because gambling always related to luck which means very impossible to win consistently even if various strategies will used but still gambling always win because they have full control over whatever decision they have, example when someone bet on sports betting with consistent winning after choosing club with low odds will eventually be prohibited gambling authorities for several reasons.
I got this experience after I was told by other people here who gave me advice that betting like that makes gambling owner not like it, meanwhile betting on small odds not always win but at least looking the match situation we can win but comes back to the problem namely gambling don't want to go bankrupt and be defeated gamblers so consistent winning is very difficult.

Correct, a very specific set of circumstances need to come together for a person to become a profitable gambler, and those circumstances are very rare, because even if there are a lot of gamblers out there looking to obtain profits, the number of those that achieve it is really low, so they are either not making the necessary efforts to achieve this goal or achieving it is way harder than expected, with my preferred explanation about why this is the case being the latter by far.

If the gambling they do is based on skill and analysis like sports then perhaps your assumption could be correct, but on the other hand I would not say that they will be able to win consistently because basically whatever type of gambling you do it will always depend on your luck at that time, so maybe I will just say that if you are skilled enough in terms of analysis and have broad enough insight in the field of sports then maybe you won't experience too many losses, it could be that your winnings happen more often than defeat with the condition that you have to have very good skills and analysis, from 100% you can have a 70% chance maybe and the rest refers to your luck.

Obviously, the slot algorithm is very difficult to crack and this game is 100% pure luck, to confirm this I have proven that whatever method or strategy you use will really not be useful for winning, therefore you have to be careful In slot games, it's like you are betting on your own luck. One of the reasons why it is difficult to achieve consistent results is because there is absolutely no certainty of achieving victory or being slightly better and even just an indication is difficult to find. So it's better to just look for another alternative.

Whether we believe in consistent profits or not, we should always try to make profits for ourselves e en thought it's not consistent. Betting can be different everyday. We might not be having that same luck of making consistent profits like before and that should not make us to overlook the way we bet and refuse to bet again. If we have the mindset of becoming a consistent gambler and even though we might have not reach the level, it is good for us to relax and keep working on becoming a good and skilled gambler. We might not be getting it now but with time, it is certain that we are going to make better profits as a gambler.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yep most gamblers don't believe they can make consistently money beacose gambling carer is very high risk carer. If you play reckless then you will loss huge amount and it's actually happened most of gambler face losses for going to make constantly money. It's risky to your economy if luck fevour then sometimes you can make consistently money but maximum time it's highly risky work. That's the reason they don't believe to making constant money.

We must always differentiate two things, playing unconsciously and playing consciously with the money willing to lose, we all know that the money we have willing to lose is the first thing we must determine before entering the game, if we determine in our session game that we can spend 50usd and that 50usd will not affect our daily life at all, we can play unconsciously and in a crazy way, however we want to play, with the style we want to play, but it is very important that it is respected that the money that can be spent is only 50usd, you cannot go beyond that, if it happens that you end up losing the 50usd, even if we really want to spend more or spend more we should not do it, that is a single rule By spending what we were willing to lose we were left with fun, there was no extra money left, but if that was left, the enjoyment, that is what interests us, it is what I consider should be done.

 Why do people lose control? because before playing they do not think about the consequences of the game if the money we are willing to lose runs out, some are very lucky and if that 50usd takes them to 200usd, if that happens, we have to be smart and withdraw that money, you can't start investing, we'll take it to 400 or 600usd, we can't think in that greedy way, because in the casino things are programmed to favor the casino and as I have said on many occasions in various threads, the house always wins, and we should not be part of that percentage that always loses in a casino, when we had the opportunity to get some winnings, when we had the touch of luck to have won some money, we must apply intelligence, reason , cunning in a casino, we should not act like beings who do not learn anything, because that is what differentiates us from animals, that we have the ability to improve and do things better.
