Type of gambling and Intelligence

[giammangiato]

Practice alone isn't enough, you also need luck, but I think it's all so fickle that even if you get lucky once or a few times, it won't be enough to win consistently, and in the long run, you'll still end up losing. Even if you're good at poker but have catastrophic bad luck with your cards, how can you win? I know some will try to say you can bluff and rely on experience, but I don't believe that's enough to win.

For those who think like me, many talk about strategy, and even those who call it a job; a gambler is simply a gambler.
Luck isn't forever, and in the long run, it could turn against you with bad luck.
To be considered good, in my opinion, a gambler must know how to manage his winnings in such a way that he can afford to play again, increasing his chances of winning and reducing his losses.
Luck will decide the rest.

Does the type of game you play at a casino or sports you bet on show an individual's level of intelligence or how smart a person is?
Blackjack, Poker, slots, roulette, baccarat, sports betting, horse racing, betting on sociopolitical events, keno, etc.

Any games in gambling that requires skills needs intelligence, so far calculations and making choices is involved. But we need to understand that luck overrides every level of skills that we can have when it comes to gambling, so skills are secondary where it concerns gambling. Don't rely so much on you skills and use huge amount of money to stake your bet to over gamble because you need luck to win. I know that professional gamblers relies on their intelligence to gamble although I don't know how profitable gambling business is for them.
