Luck and gambling

[Luzin]

It is never possible to win continuously from gambling, because luck will determine your win, but the truth is that luck will not be with you all the time. So even if you get small wins in the short term, in the long term such wins will never be consistent, because the casino system is designed in such a way that consistent wins will never come.

Starting these periods, I see that the problem of online gambling is a loss. I don't know if it's because they're unlucky or indeed they don't understand the system, or they cheated the system. But from some podcasts on youtube in my country, there is a confession that quite makes the world of gambling especially slots bad. There is a system that has been set by the owner so that luck comes only 1 or 2 times. The rest of the users will continue to lose. So the system will continue to benefit the app owner. They continue to cheat and try to keep making users addicted and unable to control themselves.

It is called luck because it occurrence is not frequent and I believe because winning gambling or bet isn't often that is why it is associated with luck. Therefore, to be lucky you have to make attempt on the gambling. Some people say don't concern your mind on whether the owners of gambling business do manipulate it or not but concentrate your energy and effort on winning either through luck or whatever means. Playing gambling is luck base and so we have to play with reasonable caution so that even when the luck does not come to us and we lose, we can still be fine and not feel bad all day.

If the casino influences the outcome, then luck will never help you, because everything will be in the hands of someone who can manipulate the results. The dealer can be on the casino's side and the player will not suspect anything, it seems to me that cheating can be widespread, to some small casinos where they do not value their reputation very much, but with large casinos everything is different and reputation is very important to them, so they mainly make sure that the players play fairly, and in this case, luck will be decisive.

I would even go as far to say that the game is 100% luck, because even if you have the best knowledge of a game, and are an expert player, you can increase your odds substantially compared to a new player, but in the end, the casino will end up still with a better odd compared with the gambler.

That's just how the probability of winning works, it's all against the gambler really.

You are right, in fact things are like that in casinos, I talk about strategies only to not make a totally flat and routine game, where ideas run out quickly, strategies sometimes work but they are consequences of having good luck at the moment, being a very good player does not guarantee that we are going to win, even in poker, being the best player of all, we depend on luck and randomness, a novice in poker can beat the most expert player, that is what makes games of chance different and curious.

Another thing to consider is on the cards that you pick. If you're not lucky, you will make the wrong pick and your opponent will take that as an advantage over you to win the game. When two professionals are gambling, only luck can make one win the other.

I have accepted to put all my believe in my luck whenever I am gambling. This will enable me accept my defeat and not chase my losses because I know that luck comes by chance.

I think so too, there are games where being skilled counts but let's say that the truth is always and only one, the luckier you are the more you win and that cannot be controlled with skill, you either have it or you don't, the fact that you can then be a good poker player certainly helps, but if the cards are never good you will never win

I do not relate luck to gambling because it is so much evident that the games and odds in gambling (but odds betting) are programmed in a way that gamblers will eventually lose. Gamble more and lose is the reality. Win and do not gamble for that time wise decision. Also with the little amount of money I am using to gamble, it is like that because there is nothing like luck to me in gambling. Most people will lose while 1 out of thousands of people would win which are the lucky ones. I am not saying there is no lock in gambling but understand what I mean.

Well I guess everyone will have a personal opinion on this issue of luck being a major factor in gambling. But to be frank, luck is. it play so much role in our gambling activities than we do. When we aren't lucky our bets turns against us. But I'll agree with what you said about the loss being more than the wins of which is true. But the luck plays equal roles on each of them. What matters is that we understand that when we loss we weren't lucky for that day but when we make wins then we were..

You have a good point, but as we say of luck, we should also say of skills, luck is not the only important factor to be winning in gambling, it's just more dominant in some branches of gambling than others. You can't tell me that luck is all we need to win a poker game and in sports betting, we must understand these games and be good at them to be able to win more. Luck is important in them too, but it's not as important as it is in other casino games, especially slot games.

luck is an unpredictable x factor that can be found anywhere, even in gambling that requires skill in playing it, people think that luck is something profitable for us that we did not predict before and like simple language we react to it with the expression of luck, and yes, many games in gambling that only rely on luck itself to get victory with a level of confidence in things that come suddenly to give us luck, such as in slot games.

There's no such thing on this world on which it would really be able to influence luck or would be able to alter or be able to changed up and this will only be that something you can say that you are lucky on the time or moment that you do become that profitable or having those winnings situations or conditions. There's no way that you can be able to tell that you will be lucky on your next rolls or bets.

The difference on here in between that certain types of gambling is whether you do deal up with strategic based and those luck based on which we do know that into those strategy on which knowledge and skills will really be that relevant or something lets say that it will really be that making you having that kind of upper hand or lessening up the risks on losing but of course dont always remove into your mind that there's no such thing about assurance or guaranteed win on gambling space and doesnt matter on which one you've been that dealing or been that engaging into.

Basically every game in gambling requires a certain level of luck for anyone to win In that game, That is, the gambler need luck to win any type of gambling game, it's doesn't matter is the game is a pure luck based game, or skill or knowledge based game.

Think about this, in sports betting which I consider to be a knowledge based game, one still need to be lucky to win his or her bet even after the much analysis and predicting based on the result of the analysis, it's still possible for one to lose the bet, as well as the money used to place the bet if the bettor is not lucky.
Same goes for skill based games as well, then we can begin to talk about slot and casino games which are all pure luck based games.

So, in every gambling game available, a player still need luck to win, without luck, it's impossible to get any thing good off gambling.

[Josefjix]

That's directly, an expert can have it all a waste of time after generating informations from different sources as a point of analysing the games which sometimes takes period of days monitoring the table before deciding but at end it still looses While a newbie who could be lucky can make a decision on the game in just a minute and could be lucky to win since no one knows the secret position of the house edges being against the players.

Most winners got the outcomes from a lucky pick and not from much analysis on a fixture, h2h analysis, table position and previous score lines, most of my winning tickets are from my pick that I don't even bother to cross examine during my betting experience.

Too much analysis had drained the data and energy out of me to the point I gave up, and it didn't work for me, not saying it's isn't proper but that doesn't work for me.

Yeah, there’s only much that skill can do for a gambler, but there are actually some card games that requires more skill than luck. If a player has the skill the be able to dictate and predict their opponent’s moves and also know how to counter the moves, then they’ll have have higher chances of winning. But when we talk about other games, like sports betting and other games like slot, then luck is exactly what’s needed 100%.

You know dude, if you just gamble for fun, you wouldn't think that you'd get lucky while gambling. Of course, all you want is to have fun, so it doesn't matter to you if you lose, right?
Now, others gamble to forget about their problems or because they feel stressed, they see that gambling seems to relieve them, so they play for a while.

But most people still see gambling as a source of hope because with a small amount of money, if they get lucky, the small amount of money they put into the casino can become a big amount. So it seems that this is the mindset of other gambling communities in the crypto field.

You are on the right track, although in the end you have confused concepts. Sports betting is more like poker in that it is a game of skill, or so it is known, and you can make a profit in the long run, although only a few make it. The difference is that in sports betting you are not betting against other players, but against the odds that the house gives you, but sports betting is more similar to poker than slots in this sense, which have a HE that you will not be able to beat in the long term.

I would rather describe luck within the context of gambling as an expression of something called entropy, you should read about it. It is quite interesting.
It is the lack of order what makes gambling to be unpredictable and one can only get approximate answers or results when casinos games are ruled by the laws of entropy, such science which gives those approximate results is called statistics.

Needless to say, confidence does not have anything to do with luck and is not a factor which can change the outcome of our session in anyway, shape or form.

It is never possible to win continuously from gambling, because luck will determine your win, but the truth is that luck will not be with you all the time. So even if you get small wins in the short term, in the long term such wins will never be consistent, because the casino system is designed in such a way that consistent wins will never come.
So the wisest thing to do is, If you are lucky and then have a good win, So just enjoy that win. because if you expect to win more, you are definitely going to lose it. Because you have to understand that luck will be on your side temporarily, it never guarantees long-term success.

Luck is one of the factors that gamblers are always dependent on because you will gamble all you want if you are not lucky enough you might not win anything because people are always very inpatient and always want to win all the time and gambling comes with uncertainty and this is why they always warn everyone to gamble with there brains because when you are to deep into gambling you start to face trouble stopping and your mind will always be focused on how to recover what ever you have lost.

And we all have this problem  if you are gambling all your attention will be focused on how to win, this like one of the biggest mistakes because how on earth do you even have that kind of mindset and its our value for money that have given us this kind of mindset so we need to control how feeling so that we don't do what will make us become addictive to gambling.

Sometimes I think luck is a place of mental peace because when we lose most of the time we blame luck similarly if we win, it is because of luck (in most time betting /gambling). In fact  what should your own feeling be? This question may seem to most of us gamblers that if an experienced gambler loses the same way, then how is it possible to identify the main algorithm of gambling?

I think the answer to this question may be easy or it may be very difficult, but the secret between us continuing to gamble and winning or losing is a manifestation of the latent state between the developer and gamblers like us, winning or losing.

You've left out entirely a major aspect to luck versus skill.  Not all gambling or casino games are one in the same.  There's a big difference between playing say black jack than there is in playing slot machines.  Games like black jack, poker and roulette all take a level of skill and know how and while luck is certainly a factor, skill is also a major player when it comes to being good at these games.  So luck wont cover it.  However if you're just playing slot machines lets say, than yes, it's 100% luck driven.

Even in online Blackjack you cannot really be skillful enough to beat a software controlled game. The cases where you had the perfect cards and dealer still won are numerous even on the forum here I have seen some complaints regarding this. Of course I agree when playing poker against each other and the house only get 0.02% of each pot is truly a skillful game  and people can show how brave they are. In sport betting I would still say it is because of luck that you either win or lose as referee can totally impact the game, same for slot machines, only luck determines it the outcome of success or failure.

[DYING_S0UL]

Everyone who is into gambling has already known that gambling is all about risk, so winning gambling may be a lock to somebody because I've seen someone who has not participated in gambling before but the first time the person gambled the person win a huge amount of money through gambling so gambling is basically all about luck but some people disagree with such fact, that to gambling is not all about luck but for me prediction in gambling cannot give you a constant accuracy to win but someone who is privilege to win gambling through luck, mistakenly win gambling on aware so for me I own understanding gambling is all about luck

Luck and gambling does work together, I would prefer to be lucky in most cases because that's exactly the fate that keep us going in the system. Gambling is for everyone and at the same time, it's not for everyone. We know the distant dissatisfaction that follows when we're placing our wagers in the system. There's always a form where we can turn our plans and deviate to some formidable sides. There's something we call beginner's luck in gambling and trust me, not everyone have the desirable odds to be in possession.

I wouldn't say gambling is all about luck. I mean, luck certainly is an important factor, but it doesn't always determine the winnings or losses. To make it clearer, let's consider sports betting. Do you think it is a luck based game? IMO, it isn't! In sports betting, knowledge and experience comes before luck. You can't just leave everything in luck's hands. In sports betting, if you are well aware of the teams, their weaknesses, how well they play against others, and how fit the team members are, you notably get an advantage there. The odds of winning increase with greater knowledge. So I wouldn't say luck is everything, or above all.

Even though people claim that gambling victories are pretty much dependent on luck and chances, I believe it’ll be completely unreasonable to downplay the essence and importance of skills, especially in the games that you mentioned above. In gambling, there are luck based games and there are also skill based games. A game being skill based doesn’t mean that all you need is skills, it means that your skill and experience are the major player in such games and that’s exactly how it is for some luck based games too. Now people claim that they’ve been able to devise a strategy for rolling the dice, not like I believe it but it’s also not completely impossible.

Luck goes with gambling because I think regardless of what we do, we will always need luck to be on our side for we to win when gambling. It does not matter if the bets you are gambling on need some experience or skills, you will still need to be lucky or nothing is going to work in your favour. There are some gamblers that copied others bets then modify it with the hopes that they are going to win but that is not what use to happen. Either they both fail or one of them gets to win but it will always be the one that's lucky. Gambling is very unpredictable and that is why you need luck to win. There are some gamblers that happens to know how to use mathematical ways to win but they are not always right but some random kid can be lucky and they win outstanding prizes.

I don't get it. How? What are you referring to by this? In gambling games, one can't copy someone else's bets because that doesn't make any sense since the outcome of each bet will always be different, and copying someone else's bet wouldn't give you any win, and if it's about sports betting, copying someone else's bet in it might get you a win if the person you are copying is good at sports betting and has chosen the right side, but in that case, both are going to win and not just one.

Basically, it's not possible for a person to win in gambling games unless they are lucky because copying others' bets or patterns wouldn't get you anything, and sports betting is the form of gambling where one can win if they follow signals but one also needs to make sure that the signals they are getting are worth taking the risk or they are going to lose even after doing that.
