When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?

[eisen33]

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.

Luck is a fickle thing, and when you play you don't know what you'll get, but with chances you can choose the odds you want, or get a big parlay with a small bet that can bring you a big win. Although in reality I do this very rarely, for me it's better to choose an event in which I'm confident and get a small win and satisfaction from the win, than to hope to get a big win someday.

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.

That's a bulletproof way to lose money.
Higher odds mean just that the event is more unlikely than a lower odds one, it doesn't mean that betting 1000 times on 1.5 odds will for sure beat betting 100 times on 5x odds.Chasing odds is foolish, chasing the value behind those odds it's a different thing, and that's what professional gamblers do.

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

I've done this experiment with favorites twice for both a season for the entire league and only favorites as in top teams and even in the best case the wins are below inflation rates and even losses for some, so unless you're cherry-picking teams and matches, this is not a viable strategy by any means.

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

Usually my chances, when I bet on sports, I can rely on my analysis. Although I cannot guarantee my win, I can at least summarize my chances, something that I cannot do with luck-based games. Luck-based games cannot be analyzed; even if you analyze them, you will still depend on luck to get your win.

To be honest, when I play at the casino, I only play for fun and make small, consistent bets

When I bet on sports, mostly soccer, I don't look at the luck aspect
I do my analysis, look at the odds, and see if those odds are worth the risk and return
Obviously, luck is involved, but it's always good to do a thorough analysis to increase your chances and maybe have more luck, hehehe
I don't usually play games with very low odds because the return doesn't end up compensating for so much risk

How about you Mia Chloe?

For the fact that analysis can give you more chances of winning in sport games makes it a lot different from casino gambling. Like you said, luck is also involved but the percentage involved isn't that much compared to casino games...low odds are little risks that are not worth taking, it requires you to stake high to get a substantial amount of profit and this is not a guarantee that you might end up winning, it's even more dangerous because you are risking a huge amount

For those of us who like to play slots games we can hardly relate to having any measure per se. However, we play with the hope that we would be lucky and to be lucky is to believe in some crazy "ritual" when playing your slots. One of such could be, how you tap the spin button, what time of the day you play, what posture you take and all of those.

Sports betting, is the only gambling activity where you can actually have a concrete measure that is objective even though not hundred percent but way better that in slots games.

Actually, I am in the group who do not like to take too much risk. And that is why I do sports betting most of the time, even in small odds games. It is true that there is no guarantee that you will always win in that match by looking at small odds, everything depends on luck here.
However, the winning ratio by betting on small odds games is slightly higher than in high odds games. And that's what attracts me more to small odds matches. I gamble on casino slot games with low risk and a very minimal amount.

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.

Some people are just very lucky but it also depends on the quantity of playing. If you play a lot and I mean for long and lot then this increases your chance of having a lucky even one day. Technically the more you play the better your odds are of this happening.

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.

A lot of people actually make this mistake, adding a few smaller odds games to their ticket and this ends up destroying them. A lot of people don't understand that betting on something with very low odds is a mistake. It creates a big risk for little potential game. Every now and then the huge favorite makes a big mistake and your otherwise perfect ticket ends up being a loser. There must be a balance between risk and the multiplier for the profit.

I always still believe there is nothing called professional gamblers or bettors or whatever they are called online. This is because many of them that said they are professional either have other means to make money and they do not need to depend on gambling at all, but while gambling, some fall into trouble because they are not able to manage their money appropriately or because they thought they are professional gamblers. But when that thing will hit them, it will not be easy at all. The gambling sites sets all the odds in favour of themselves (the gambling sites).

Playing for fun is the best way to overcome gambling disappointment. And in gambling both the slot and crash games are lucky and chance oriented and anyone that comes the gambler takes. But when playing with fun, and you loss, it will still painful but it will not painful as the gambling to win profit or gain.
It is good to use small amount to gamble so it will not be painful when losing. But one thing is that when you gamble and win big you will be motivated to gamble higher and that will lead to another dimension of gambling.

As for me, whenever I am gambling, I don't rely on either small odds or big odds. I pick games based on my analysis. So, sometimes I bet on small odds, and sometimes I bet on higher odds  it always depends on the result of my analysis.One thing I like doing whenever I am playing sports bets is betting on over like the match to be over 1.5 or 2.5 goals. I always believe those teams I bet on are likely to score goals. But still, I will just say gambling is all about luck.

Sometimes, even matches where I expect them to score like 3 goals end up with hardly one goal scored.This just makes me remember last season when Manchester City met Southampton in the second leg. I bet on the game, expecting Manchester City to score 3 goals based on the fact that they were in form at that period, and Southampton had already been relegated  even though the season hadn't ended yet. Manchester City was also fighting for the top four.but surprisingly, the match ended goalless. Not even one goal was scored.

Luck doesn’t choose people, people just find luck, you may be lucky today and not lucky tomorrow and I may be unlucky today and very lucky tomorrow, when ever you find luck make sure you don’t think you are special or gifted because you probably will lose all your wining
So when gambling on games like slot I measure chance because you found luck, you did not do anything special it just happened my chance but if I am gambling on sport betting I measure prediction which goes hand in hand with luck. It’s complicated but what I will want to stand firm on is that if you win you aren’t special.

Sometimes it is confusing, you can take your chances based on your predictions on how the game will play, and it will come as you predict; while sometimes, your predictions are well in your opinion and even based on current form of the two teams playing against each others, but luck will be needed because the team that you might expect winning from might not even get a draw, that’s coming in sport betting.

Sometimes, even the smaller odds don’t play, because if you bet a long game, the bigger odds do play, while the smaller odds are the main problem because they mostly cut out tickets which is usually annoying because no one will expect such small odds to fail; therefore, I think luck is needed and good analysis is also needed so as to take the right chance in betting the games especially in sport betting.

We can't measure our luck but we can have some idea if we're going to be one. As for the chances, we only measure it with just high or low chances of winning.

It doesn't matter if the chances are low when we believe our bets and the games that we'll support to watch. As long as the chances are there and that's our favorite that have the potential to win, we'd go for it.

If the luck comes to the teams that we're betting for, then that luck is also passed on us and so our bets.

It is good to use small amount to gamble so it will not be painful when losing. But one thing is that when you gamble and win big you will be motivated to gamble higher and that will lead to another dimension of gambling.

If you will stick to this mantra, it means, you are only spending not so big amount in gambling because you only play for fun. And you won't have financial issues because you surely stop when you already busted your budget. This is actually good because you won't resort to borrowing money or getting more money from your savings just to continue your games. Also, it also translates to the reasoning that maybe, you have other important things to attend to and gambling is just a side hustle that you keep it just like that. If you will keep such route, you won't have problems in gambling. You may lose from time to time but that's part of the game, but not to the point that your life got screwed owed to your gambling.

Slot and crash games are pure luck game. Therefore, when I am playing slot, I put all my hope on luck and nothing more. When I am gambling on sportbet, I do my analysis and research to know the club to bet on
However, when a club is the favorite to win the match, the odds will be high and I prefer to bet on such match with little profits.

Actually, it is another difficult question to answer.  For many people, it is easy to answer this question, but in my case, I think it is actually difficult to answer whether you can win more by playing gambling games by analyzing them or if you just choose one depending on luck. I am calling this difficult because we all know that gambling is based on luck and the final result of the analysis is also determined by luck.

However, I would like to add here that since gambling depends on chance, it would not be wise to just blindly bet without any analysis. In my case, I keep both of them related to each other, just like I believe in luck and I bet by analyzing. And because I believe in luck, my amount is always within a certain limit that I am capable of losing.

I believe gambling is more of luck than chance. I don't believe that anybody is good a prediction,  because gambling is a game of luck. You might pick odds you feel you will win and end up losing. So I advice that you gamble just hoping that luck will smile on you rather than thinking that you already make the right predictions.

Doesnt matter if Luck or chances on which if we do speak about literally then it would be just that all the same. Why? if you do have those chances then you would consider yourself that lucky. When gambling then it wouldnt that much of a problem if you do know on what you are dealing into and made out that appropriate actions and the risks that you would be needing up to do for you to be able to avoid up things to get messy.
What matter the most on here is that you do enjoy on what you are doing and not compromising up things accordingly on which you would be needing up to be mindful. The most important thing on here is on how you would be treating up gambling in the first place. If you are that having that kind of mentality and impressions towards gambling and do really believe that you can make easy money with it then sooner or later this one would be the main reason on why this gambling business is profitable into its owners. Measuring something like being lucky or being that having that good chances will be just that making yourself that become that addicted because you would be that trying out maximize out that luck and chances on which you are that currently experiencing. You are the ones will be having that kind of decision making on how you would be gonna doing it but in the end of the day you should be that careful and mindful because no matter what angle that you would be tending up to choose, it would be still having that chance for you to get addicted and we do know that once you've been shackled with addiction then it would be that so hard for you to be able to get out and thats something that you do need to watch on. There are just that those times that you will be that getting dragged with that positivity on which it will be leading out into those times that you wont be thinking up on what are the chances that you will be that experiencing or losing it back against into those amounts that you had win up earlier. Gamble for fun then you wont be having any problem but on the moment that are that switching up then this is where things would become that messy. If you dont like on experiencing those potential problems then you should be that sensible into the action that you are taking and not just that trying out to chase up those wins and hope even more.

Is pretty obvious that the chances of winning in gambling is quite slim while the chances of losing is quite higher. However, as far as gambling is concerned luck plays a significant role in determining the final outcome because it is only when the luck is on your side that you can easily get a win with your strategy.Though, most times we normally have this feeling that after doing some analysis and research that winning is satting, without realizing that gambling depends.

I mostly go with the higher odds with the bets that I make. And that is a combination of thinking that I might be lucky to win those matches and as well as I am taking chances. I'm not just betting blindly without doing some little bit of analysis. So, for me the measure that I do are both but if there is only one choice to make. I am taking my chances. What if the chance that I am lucky with those high odds that I am about to bet will win? 
People might get confused to that and say that there is not that much difference for both of them. But as a gambler, we know that at most times we just take chances.
