When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?

[crwth]

I agree that it depends on the game whether or not you rely on luck or chance to play it. Recently, my go-to has been gambling with luck just because I do not want to think or analyze anything and just want to go with the flow and see what it will give me.

Sometimes, when I'm with my friends, I gamble on sports because it's fun and entertaining when you are with other people.

What's usually your pick as a gambler since sometimes some persons are luckier than others?

I personally believe more in luck. No matter how good our gambling skills are, luck is crucial in gambling. I experienced this when I won a significant amount with only enough capital from a previous gamble, which was only enough for one round, and that was at the lowest bet.

Now, even if you deposit a large amount of money but luck isn't on your side that day, you won't win, whether it's big or small.
Perhaps this also depends on our perspective and the type of gambling. I personally prefer slots, so luck plays a big role.

[Mate2237]

Both comes to play because critically looking at the topic you will understand that winning in gambling can't be differentiated from luck and chance the both are connected as luck and chance goes together luck because gambling is one thing that is difficult to predict even though sometimes we try to predict due to the performance of a team based on current form but still yet that is not a guarantee that the team will deliver.



Chance also play a role because someone mostly on on slots games you may be chanced to win as the games are programmed which most people call luck but actually the game is structured in such a way that everyone playing have equal chances of winning

[BABY SHOES]

Slots... Luck
Sportsbook... Choose a chance.

I'm not sure if in slot games there is a chance of high win or jackpot? Unless it's just luck, right? If in this game never think about opportunities but luck and depending on a strong hunch should play in which slot in order to win big.

While sports betting will clearly choose the opportunity even though small odds do not guarantee victory and we have lost, many bettors choose low odds rather than high.
But behind it is the same actually depends on the luck you choose, basically the strategy in sports betting will not have an accurate victory.

As noted that some bettors are just being luckier, sometimes, I don't really make out my time to analysis the games to consider which team in the sport bets has the potential to win, I just pick on random teams although, but I do still practice on the effort of analysing the games because I applies whatever strategies that I have think would make good outcomes.

But I don't see any of these a better strategy because the winning in sport bet can not be undermined from luck no matter how good we are in analyzing those games or how lucky we have been in past experiences. Being lucky to win can be seasonally undefined to determine when we can win.

Different gambling activities have different chances attached to them and when I mean chances I am referring to the probability you have for actually win the bet or hit the jackpot in games like crash and slots. This is basically because sometimes unrealistic bets can sometimes play out as a win and some other times bets that have a high winning chance can eventually become the losing bet.

I believe people who gamble on sports may understand this better since sometimes in sports betting some gambler's prefer to go for the smaller odds that usually have a higher winning chance and sometimes they can still end up a losing game however some prefer to go for the big game with big odds and smaller winning chances.

I try to choose profitable quotes. Sometimes an outcome with a small coefficient is undervalued, sometimes an outcome with a high coefficient is undervalued. The point is to bet on profitable outcomes. Although personally I prefer large coefficients (more than 10), but if we reason strictly "how to do it right" then we should look for profitable quotes first and foremost and only them.

[Slow death]

As a sports bettor, I prioritize my own analysis. Whenever I look at a game, I prefer to focus on personally analyzing both teams and then determine which team I consider the favorite. I don't base my analysis on the odds that bookmakers define as favorites. For example, let's say there's a game between Real Madrid and Bayern today.

Bookmakers place odds of @1.80 in favor of Real Madrid, @3.00 for a draw, and @2.50 for a Bayern win. I won't bet on Real Madrid without first carefully analyzing both teams. If, after my analysis, I conclude that Bayern is the favorite, then I'll bet on a Bayern win.

For me I doubt everything in gambling because it's just a total waste of money if examined properly so I go for a higher chance of wining than fool myself trying our luck that will never be luck. Since we have smaller chances of winning gambling, the the best thing to do is stick with whatever that is likely to work out that depending solely on your luck as your lucky is bond to fail you because you don't know exactly when it will be your luck, it varies.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Luck and chances work ''Pari passu'' because it's luck that breeds chances, if you are not lucky then you probably not going to have the chances of winning and chances is talking about the probability of two things happening which is either you win or you lose so definitely, one cannot work without the other in gambling.

I believe people who gamble on sports may understand this better since sometimes in sports betting some gambler's prefer to go for the smaller odds that usually have a higher winning chance and sometimes they can still end up a losing game however some prefer to go for the big game with big odds and smaller winning chances

The fact is that those who goes for the smaller odds are likely to get the win because that is the odds that comes after the bookies have done several analysis and scrutiny about a particular game and discovered the side that will possibly get more advantage than the other. Betting on big odds is the real gambling which is done for fun because as a gambler who is gambling on big odds you already have it in mind that it is unlikely to win but if it does it will just be a surprise to the gambler and big odds doesn't work often as the smaller odds does.

In my own case, i try to focus on the two, when i bet in sport betting and football to be specific, i try as much to select more than five games, then place a number of cuts to them, for instance if the game selections were 8 games, then i applied cut 2 or 3 to them, if some of the games failed up to the number of cut i placed, is till have the opportunity of winning, except it exceeds, this shows that am more of being tactical and logical in my games, when gambling, i work by my risk assessment factors and play bets to minimize the risk and try out my luck to win base on this strategy i just explained.

But do you know what when you select 8 games like you said and play it cut 2 or more the return will reduce to the point that it will be almost same thing with your stake? Unless you play with a huge amount of money which is very risky and again the only time you can see something tangible from this cut 2 is if you select plenty game with a big odd. Whenever I'm gambling sometimes I look at the odd and after that I check statistics before making a final selection but at the end of the day everything is all about luck because no matter how careful you are in making selection you can not win unless luck is on your side.

[Oasisman]

I'd usually go with measuring the chances. Can't rely heavily on luck as I don't have that luck that much.
Games like crash, slots, and etc, rely heavily on luck. I'm not totally avoiding this game, but I minimize my bets as much as I could when playing this kind of game. I'd always have most of my best being in the sports betting, simply because I could calculate and analyze my  chances in winning the odds.

Chance and luck are almost the same thing. You get a chance to win, it means it was your luck. You can't guarantee anything because you don't know what your luck has in store. We think ourselves very clever by adopting different strategies in different ways and think that the prediction we made and the strategy we used will definitely win us. And with such confidence, we take very big risks. Although sometimes some risks help us get something big, it does not always materialize. You can never gain without risk, this is true and we must believe it. But this is not acceptable everywhere because we know that it is very difficult to win from gambling, yet we don't take risks because we expect that our luck can change at any time and we can win a very big jackpot.

[vanesha]

I gamble just for luck, because most of my bets are on dice and slots, only occasionally playing sports, but when it comes to sports betting then I will choose the odds, because it is easier to predict even though it is not completely accurate but there is a picture that can be seen

[Mrbluntzy]

I always go for games that has a high chance or high possibility of winning because to a large entente, the tendency of winning is secure while if it was a very low possibility bet, the chance of losing supersedes winning chance, but both measures are depends luck. Whether it's a low chance or a high chance probability game, without luck, you will lose. Like you stated, even small odd games can bring zero returns and while the unusual bet can bring a win, luck makes it possible, that's why I depend on luck.

[uneng]

I used to go for superior winning chances, and therefore, smaller odds. It worked nicely for a while, but ended becoming a complete disaster... In gambling chances don't mean very much if you are a casual gambler. It's better to rely on luck instead. So, if you are to be lucky, you will be among the small percentage of winners who hitted the jackpot and managed to "defeat the house".

I think chance-based gambling game is the same as luck-based gambling games because they are both referring to random results of the game.  I think it is the gambler who play luck/chance-based game would understand it than those who gamble with skill-based gambling game like sports betting and poker. 

What's usually your pick as a gambler since sometimes some persons are luckier than others?

I do not think there is a difference between luck-based game and chance-based game because these terms are used interchangeably meaning they are the same.

I like playing slots (currently) but I am the kind of person who gets bored after a while and finds a new favorite game in a week or two.

To me, gambling is more about buying the excitement and entertainment. The money won is just a bonus, as I see it. That is why I do not bet large sums of money.

The casinos always have a house edge that makes the probability of them winning higher, so if you were to play a game 1000 times, eventually you would realise that you lose more than you win. But there is no point in worrying about higher house edges unless you want to play the same game many many times. The more often you play the clearer the effect of probability becomes. It all has to do with mathematical probability. There is no such thing as luck, luck is simply something people made up.

[Dunamisx]

As we are gambling, we have to be more conscious of the two, because our luck in gambling will be a dependent of the chances we have to either win or lose, but if we take use of this privileges, then we are going to end up wining, as gambling is all about risk, then we take also the chances of winning or losing base of our various abilities in it, upon any game i also play, i relate the two altogether in knowing for what to expect and what to do in other to make me achieve the best on any game being played.

[nara1892]

It's true that each game has different odds, like sports betting and casino games, for example. In sports betting, a gambler can choose odds that are measured according to their betting courage. However, in casino games, there's nothing you can measure. Everything depends on luck, and that luck can never be measured. You never know how lucky you are at a given moment. You never know if you could have won much bigger if you had continued playing at that moment.

I'm one of those gamblers who prefers casino games over sports. There's no way I can measure anything to even get an indication of a win. I usually stop when the first win occurs.

[Die_empty]

I bet on sports more often. I consider the odds, but I don't deny that luck can influence the outcome. Those who have been betting for a while have likely experienced losing bets with high odds of winning.
So, while we consider the odds heavily when placing bets, we also recognize that luck can influence seemingly unlikely outcomes. While such bets aren't always accurate, those who bet on low odds of winning are also taking greater risks.

Betting on favourites has been my major and consistent sports betting strategy. Although the wins are usually small, they have higher chances of playing out. But sometimes I might be moved to depend solely on luck. In this case, I might follow the high odds even when it is evident that the team doesn't have what it takes to win against the favourites. Few sports bettors in my area won big because they bet that Chelsea would beat PSG, which was highly unlikely.
