It is better to have a poor strategy than no strategy at all

[Julien_Olynpic]

It is better to have a poor strategy than no strategy at all. We often focus on luck and forget about strategies. And in my opinion, this is the key for a person who sets a goal in gambling to make money, and not just to enjoy a random win. But in my opinion, people underestimate most strategies. You have a strategy and you are trying to figure out how good it is. I would suggest comparing it to a blind game, in which you have no strategy. So, we can compare no strategy with a poor strategy. Most likely, a poor strategy will just drain your money more slowly. But isn't that better than losing quickly, lol?

It is better to have a poor strategy than no strategy at all.

In an activity that is not related to luck (gambling), this rule probably works. But when you have no control over the mathematical calculations of the probability of an event (in the case of gambling, this is where luck comes in), does having or not having a strategy affect your performance? I think not.

We often focus on luck and forget about strategies.

It can't be any other way in gambling. Any of your strategies are no more useful than a four-leaf clover in your pocket before you spin the slots.

And in my opinion, this is the key for a person who sets a goal in gambling to make money, and not just to enjoy a random win.

It has been discussed many times that gambling is not a place to make money. 

But in my opinion, people underestimate most strategies.

Maybe because all these strategies are useless?

You have a strategy and you are trying to figure out how good it is.

Here we need experiments with a large sample of event outcomes, and it is also better to apply to a large number of gamblers for the accuracy of the results.

It’s better to have a poor strategy than no strategy at all when betting . A strategy even a faulty one to me is at least better than having no strategy so that I wouldn’t be making totally blind decisions. In general, gambling may be alright if chance works out okay however if the main goal of someone is to earn, having a strategy is absolutely necessary.

Sometimes, people do not realize that strategies are important. Even if a strategy is not so good, it is still a way of allowing you to measure your progress and understand what is successful and what is not. By having a strategy compared to playing a blind game, you can understand the difference between the two. It is true that a poor strategy will eventually drain money at a slower pace yet it is the only approach that gives you a glimpse of hope as you gather more experience and knowledge.

Sometimes a no strategy win without any hassle thats a fact. A guy went to casino goes without any thoughts of winning but just to relax then end up getting a jackpot money. Theres cases like that, but for some experienced gamblers they can use of all strategy they have and still ending losing. So theres no guaranteed with both types of gamblers. Its just having no strategy and meant to enjoy got no pressure to win.

I believe you need to work on seeing the bigger picture which is the end game because it would just lead to losing but it's just slower than i don't think that's better because it still going to be the same. Maybe if luck was by your side then maybe that could have been better but we all know that's not always the case

The best strategy in my opinion is still having risk management.

[Tempaccount1157]

Let’s be honest
There isn’t a strategy where the house lose. Albeit, the house always win.
It’s game of luck and nothing else. So working with probability is a better strategy if it may be said.

[radjie]

It would be much better to always improve the strategy we do when playing, if we are not given a win, why do we continue to use a bad strategy when playing, In fact, it is clear that the final result of our game will be bankrupted. Even if you have a winning target, correcting the less than ideal strategy that we have done is the main benchmark to be able to minimize the risk of defeat

You are right, both strategies are bad and you will end up with nothing.
But i hope that poor strat will soon be better and become a good strategy. i hope that the gambler will not go big pot before he have a very good strategy.

different people different perpective and different strategy, we hold on what we have. and i hope people will come to gambling by fun and winning and never become an addiction.

Why push a poor strategy when it is known that no strategy will work?  I think it is better to have a full self-control or game awareness rather than implementing poor strategy.

Havinga self-control and game awareness can lead us to better judgment because:

1.  We know that no strategy will work, this will make us more cautious.
2.  Having self-control can make us implement responsible gambling.
3.  Having game awareness can enable us to implement limitations thus avoiding gambling fallacies.

While implementing a poor strategy can lead to more devastating outcomes. Like

1. Implementing martingale without limit.
2. Undergoing revenge gambling or chasing losses thinking that eventually we will win.
3. Risk of emotional decision-making that can lead to stress, frustrations, and eventually financial ruin.

In addition, with poor strategy we might end up committing these mistakes.^[1][2]

Poor strategy is something that could soil our overall performance in gambling and such person often parade themselves as a gambling guru. Lacking of knowledge is truly a hindrance us from making winning, even if it is said that  gambling entirely subjected to luck and that is by almost about 50% probability rate in gambling and the rest solely rely on the gamblers to make research and increase their knowledge towards having a good strategy before successful in gambling field

[danherbias07]

Poor strategy meaning lazy research?

Yeah, I think that's okay especially if the person doing it is too busy to give effort and do more. But I think the best decision is to just not bet at all if we cannot find ways to at least make analysis that will increase our chances of winning.

Or we could just continue the poor strategy and make it better. I mean, there should be no gray area. Its either we do it or not. If we are too lazy to do it then better just take a day off and pass.

It is better to have a poor strategy than no strategy at all.

Actually in this case it might be better to just have no strategy at all because at least you are not tiring yourself just to receive the same result had you just bet blindly. The most ideal situation is of course you try your best to learn and make use of the best strategy possible. If you lose still after learning a better strategy then at least you did your best but a bad strategy just implies laziness and foolishness.

We often focus on luck and forget about strategies.

As if we can focus on luck. How will even someone focus on luck? It just means they are betting blindly and wishing for the best. They actually have no control over how much luck they will receive.

[Ishicryptic]

Having a strategy for your bets whether poor or well calculated is not enough to give you wins on it's own, luck plays a role but it is good to have one, it puts you in charge of making your own selections. It is not good to make blind predictions for the games that you want to bet on, you can atleast weigh the chances of a team or a player winning or performing. Making analysis is part of the fun in sports bet, you will want to check recent performances and come up with what you think the outcome of a game will be. We cannot rule out luck in the outcome of any games so we should not be overconfident on strategies.

[retreat]

If we talk about gambling on games based on luck, then there is no strategy that works, because in the end the one who will benefit in the long run is the house. But when it comes to sports betting, either no strategy or a bad strategy will produce the same bad results, but I will go with a poor strategy, because it is better than no strategy at all. At least with that bad strategy I can continue to learn to improve it and optimize it so that in the future I can minimize mistakes like that.

Having a strategy is always better than having none at all, at least we make an extra effort to increase the chances of winning our bets. Live casino & sports betting are a great place for that, but what about slots?

There's no strategy, because 100% of the results depend on our luck. Unfortunately, I'm not really into sports betting & live casino since a few months ago which makes me focus only on slots, so it's useless for me, I mean is a discussion about betting strategies.

Strategy does not always mean winning, there are many strategies, and until you find the one that works for you, a lot of time may pass. While you are testing one strategy, you do not know whether it will work for you or not, while you are testing it, you will spend money. Perhaps you will spend your budget more slowly, but until you find the strategy that you need, you will still lose. Without a strategy, you can also play for less money and spend less, so having a strategy does not mean anything, but I agree that without a strategy it is unlikely that you will be able to win.

[traderethereum]

Better you have strategy, whether if that is a bad or good strategy. By using strategy, we can learn more if that strategy is not work so we will have the right strategy. But we must consider that gambling don't just need strategies but also luck so we can win. So using strategy will be better than no strategy at all although we still need luck to win.

With strategy, we will not spend too much money but that will depend on how good we control ourselves. If we can't control better, there is a chance for us to loss more.

[Yucky]

Your method for figuring out if poor strategy is better than no strategy actually works for determining the effectiveness of any strategy versus luck. I saw a thread on if the luck and gambling strategy posts have not been exhausted but I think gamblers are still testing different approach and have more post on luck and gambling to make . So I think your approach to comparing different methods is would help in bringing clarity to that topic.

For instance, you could compare results when:

Guessing based on intuition without a strategy
Or using a specific strategy, like carefully analyzing teams against luck
Then combining luck and strategy

To see the outcomes of each approach, you can determine which one works best. It's a good method for identifying whether luck or strategies or both work better.

I meaan, either works? Keep in mind I'm talllking about playing the game itself. I mean at the end of the day it's mostly just self-rationalization so that you can explain why you lost or why you won since it's a lot easier to explain through that than explaining that you win/lost due to luck. Still personally think doesn't matter. Just do whatever you want, however process you want it to be. A lot more enjoyable than trying to force a so called strategy that would only work not because it's strategy, but again, because of luck still lol.

Sports betting is a whole different thing and so if you want to think, craft, and analyze, I'd go there instead of playing dice.

Although I often disagree with your statements, it is difficult to disagree with this statement about the advantages of strategy. You are absolutely right that having a strategy is better than a disorderly approach to gambling or sports betting. However, there is an exception to this principle. For example, a Martingale strategy, instead of slowing down the loss of a bankroll, can, on the contrary, accelerate the loss of money. So it is important not only to follow the strategy as a principle, but also what kind of strategy.
