How I stopped expecting my luck to work

[eisen33]

often those who are lucky can actually be defeated by those who are experts like in card games

yes but there is also a chance for someone lucky to defeat the expert one though it will not happen a lot of times but it can definitely happen once or twice in a lifetime those who win through luck may grow too confident and end up trying again without any expertise and knowledge and that is when they will keep losing afterwards when their luck has gone out

You may get lucky once, or even a few times, but if you play only with the hope of luck, you will eventually lose more than you win. Even if you get an early win (I'm talking about a big win), you will continue to play because you will believe that you can win again until you lose everything, and maybe even continue to play further. I know that luck plays a big role in gambling, but it is definitely not something you should count on if you want to earn money in gambling.

For me, luck can’t be found specifically.

It’s intangible and a concept. Where will you even find it? You wouldn’t know if you have found luck until you get a good result. You don’t find luck, it finds you. So the best way you can do is to hope that it finds you and give up on trying to forge luck for yourself.

Well yes, anyway I think that everyone has a different concept of what luck is , I Think that one can build one's own luck, mostly with one's actions, with one's learning and with Everything that has to do with knowledge and experiences, and Although in the casino and in games of chance Everything is given to luck, well it doesn't hurt when we want to have good luck and we hope to have the best of luck, sometimes strategies can bring us closer to having good luck , it's not a guarantee but it's good for something.

I agree with you when you said that strategies can bring us closer to having good luck which is true, is just like those gamblers who always go for single games. You know by so doing luck will not be very far from them, than when you're betting on multiple games. you know is always very difficult before one can still experience win when you're betting on multiple games, which is why it takes a lot of time before most people can still experience win in gamble.

How? When you stop gambling as well.Because as long as you are gambling, winning is always in your mind. Yes, and what happened to you has also happened to many gamblers, including me, and so I wonder why. It is because luck is not in our hands; it comes to us mostly at the time we never expect it. That is why I could say that the more we think about it, the farther it gets.

I tried to change the way I think when gambling, but honestly, that is more difficult than I think.

Certainly, it is quite difficult to change your thoughts during the game or simply stop thinking about winning and imagining what you will do with the money you win.
Perhaps, for this you need to have quite a lot of experience in the game or just be a very cold-blooded person. But at the same time, the very feeling of the game and the risk that always takes place in any gambling game is obviously dulled. And this makes the game itself completely unemotional and, in general, one can even say uninteresting. So here you have to choose for yourself what you like best.

I am sure everyone who gambles has hope with luck, hoping that the gambling they do will be accompanied by luck that will give victory, I myself gamble sometimes with full hope, but the results that tend to be disappointing cannot be hidden. Here self-control is tested if we cannot control ourselves, then maybe what will happen is that gambling that is done continuously with results that tend to be the same will make us have difficulty with the situation. It is better for the city to be able to limit our own expectations in gambling by not expecting too much because what is feared is behavior that should not be done with an attitude that cannot accept the defeat that occurs. In addition, we must remember that luck will not always happen according to what we want.

What I came to understand is that with all the hopes of lucks, not everyone have that thing called luck and this is where some are making use of skills and strategies in gambling cause in most cases their lucks can guarantee them any win rather they'll always end up in losses. It's just like when you are forcing things to work out when it certainly won't and at this point controlling your habits it's something that should be reckoned to and reduce your expectations cause your lucks ain't playing out well.

Basing your gambling on just luck is never enough for any gambler out there, you will need to go beyond just that. You cannot continue to capitalize on your lucks to play bets. If will definitely not last you long. For those who are lucky enough to have won big games from the early periods. It is not enough to seat down and expect to win more games by chance, it is a responsibility on you to begin to work towards learning the intricacies involved in winning the category of gambling you decided to explore. Narrow down to games with which you find easier and work hard to learn strategies towards winning more games.

If we can't rely on luck, then what else can we do to win?
So, as you mentioned, luck plays an important role in gambling. We can therefore say that it is difficult to stop thinking because I know and am very certain that once we gamble, we always hope to win. Whether we are just betting small, it remains in our minds. To stop expecting our luck never works; it seems impossible no matter what.

Many players do not think about strategies and other things that can affect their winning, basically most players just believe that they will be lucky, but of course they are no different from others. Then why do they think that they will definitely be lucky, they just do not want to look for answers to these questions. Of course, they can think about this only when they lose, and before that, no one looks for strategies and other useful tips to win more and lose less. I hope more players will start thinking about strategies.

But still, I might get lucky. Where do I use my luck? I've told myself that if I'm going to be lucky, I'm just going to try my luck with something that has even greater rewards. For instance a multi-bet ticket that is full with 25 matches can reach even higher multipliers maybe up to the hundreds of thousands. The odds to hit it are virtually non existent. But so are the odds of hitting 10 10000x hits on the slots to get a 100k multiplier.

The other advantage is you can just bet an amount of 0.01$.
This way I know I tried my luck and feel much less of an urge to try it in games that suck your money fast.
Do you have any similar tricks?

I very much agree with all that you have said, it's all basically true, most especially the part you said or meant that it takes usually the same level of luck to win a 100,000x multiplier on a sport betting parley with 25 games just as it takes to also win a 10,000x multiplier on a slot of casino game.

A very thoughtful thing to say really, I myself after having lost so much on slot and casino games in the process of chasing big multipliers all to no avail, decided to chase after same in sports betting, and so far, I've made a 51x win on a parley of 7 games, a multiplier I've never won on slot or any casino game..
So definitely, I also will choose to chase big Xs on sports betting than on slot or casino games, betting on sports saves more money, and I guess the chances of hitting a 100,000x in betting is even higher than hitting the same on slot or casino games.

We cannot really rely on luck since not every time it will came. What we can do is discipline and have good plans towards our activity since if we know how to do responsible gambling correctly then provably that losing a lot is not going to happen since we provably in control if we have certain good things to follow or consider.

Sometimes I don't think about luck since if this situation will came then fine but if not I make sure not to lose a lot of money since we provably get a lot of stress if we lose everything we have. Although each one of us have different opinion on this but what's important here is we should think about we are in control always on our activity so that we can avoid experiencing huge stress from unwanted situations.

You can choose one game or one type of bet, I know that some players limit themselves to even one or several championships for betting, in order to be able to study all the teams well. Maybe this is a good choice, but I think that it can limit the choice for bets to some extent. I do not consider myself a lucky person, so I think it is better to rely on your knowledge than just luck. Probably those who do not believe in luck will not play slots or other games where only luck matters.

Expecting luck on your games is the same as putting hope on the game because you probably expecting to win. However having hoped on your game is kind of the worst nightmare one would experience while gamble cause it's fuckes with their mind. Moreover when you expect to win from gamble, you get losses but sometimes even if you do not expect anything and wager with small money that's the moment you start winning the bet.

It happens to all of us. That's why it's best not to expect to win and just let that money lose or whatever happens to it. And guess what? we're winning with that money when we're not thinking of winning about it. But the more that we want to win, the more unlucky we are and that's why they're calling it reverse psychology and probably it is what will work for most of us. Do not try to think of it wholly but I'm still moving towards positive thinking when I gamble to attract positive results even with these circumstances.

I would make the point that I class this scenario as Luck in terms of casino games

Lets take slots for example - at some point the slot machine is going to pay out
on a top jackpot, this involves a massive number of pulls lets say.

So through out the course of a day the machine is being played and isnt paying
out or only on small wins, I walk up to it a begin to play and after a few pulls I
hit the jackpot - pure luck even though all the previous players did all the work.

If I was to start playing the machine and was there all day with no win and came
back the following day and continued playing the same machine until I hit
the jackpot I dont believe that would be luck, its just persistence .

It was a funny title, I give you @OP that. However, it’s a way to go, seriously. Better to be safe up there than having to wonder why just any market you decide to bet on always turns out to be the wrong one and a lost bet. Luck is something you can’t really place a time on, I get it that there are times in nature when you just feel this is it but, time and space gets to agree with you in that moment.
Other times, you just play and don’t think much of it. It gets easier to accept the outcomes then than hoping to win. Luck wouldn’t run out of you, just a low profile at it and let the games go on.

[ovcijisir]

If I understood correctly OP stated that the more you bet, you have bigger the chances of winning. That seems logical to me, you can't win if you don't bet.

My trick is to play more games that have higher chances of wins like dice. I never had much luck on slots so usually don't play slots.

[tread93]

Casino games generally speaking have a limited multiplier. Maybe peaking at 10000x. But to reach this multiplier and win something significant, you would need to also place significant amounts of money down and still chances dictate you'll put down more than you can expect to earn.

For this reason I've stopped expecting my luck to work. Even if I was to play slots and earn a 10 thousand x multiplier, it would be a multiplier on my 0.1$ roll so it would be 1k USD in value. Surely not a life changing amount. And the reward potential doesn't go much beyond that with most casinos games unless there's a special event.

But still, I might get lucky. Where do I use my luck? I've told myself that if I'm going to be lucky, I'm just going to try my luck with something that has even greater rewards.

Here is a trick that may work. Find the hottest single girl in the casino you're in and buy her a drink. Once you've got the drink take her on over to the crapps table and ask her to be your good luck charm, have her blow on the dice and see how your odds are. If its a parlay just have her pick everything and don't even think about it. I just talked to this one chick about an 8 leg sports parlay that she won and she has literally never gambled in her life or knew anything about the games but her friends convinced her to and then she won a pretty sizable amount of money.

[Julien_Olynpic]

The word "luck" in gambling should be understood not only as the actual winnings, but also as the sum of the winnings and losses. You can win $1,000 at one time, but lose $1,500 before that, and eventually you will be a loser. It all depends on the specific multipliers in the game and how often you win. Sometimes players lose so much (playing for fun, as they say) that no win can compensate for their monetary losses. Or it must be a truly fantastic win. So fantastic that the probability of its occurrence is practically impossible. From a certain level of losses, your luck will consist of simply winning back some of the losses.

It's just like when you are forcing things to work out when it certainly won't and at this point controlling your habits it's something that should be reckoned to and reduce your expectations cause your lucks ain't playing out well.

Gambling should be a combination of both luck and skill/strategy, (with luck being the most important one) the problem I believe why people end up losing more often in gambling, even when they believe in luck isn’t really because they’re not lucky enough or at all, I believe it’s often because they depend on only luck to do the magic for them, forgetting that your skills are also needed. Yes everyone needs skills and strategies to be able to increase one’s chances of winning, when you’ve gotten the skill and you’ve done your best, then you let luck take its course.

Luck is luck!

There's no way that you can be able to copy on what happen to others on which it will eventually happen into you but its not bad on trying out to do the same thing but the key on here is that you shouldnt really be expecting something positive through it because once you do have that kind of expectation then it will really be that resulting into disappointment once that reality would slap into your face. We do know on how luck works and its not really that hard to understand it. It all matters about self awareness and realization on what you are dealing on and not really just that trying out to prove something because you have seen it on others.

If you are really that curious whether it would works on you or not then it will be your call but make it sure that you wont really be finding yourself that being desperate because once you do have that kind of approach then it will really be resulting into such action on which we know that this is really that a very bad thing specially dealing up with gambling or betting. Expect the unexpected on which its really that understandable on which we do really know that outcomes or results will really be that different and this is why its not really that good for you to have that kind of expectation about having on the same results.
