When gambling what do you measure? Luck or chances?

[EarnOnVictor]

It's simple; the higher the dependency on luck, the more foolish the gambler is, and the lower the chance of winning, the less attractive the bet should be, and vice versa.

I totally disagree with your point. A gambler that depends on luck is not a foolish gambler rather he's someone I'll actually classify as a realistic gambler. There is virtually no gambling activity that doesn't involve luck because if it never involved luck it won't be regarded as gambling in the first place.
Getting accustomed with betting tactics doesn't necessarily mean you have a strategy that's guaranteeing your win it only makes you turn the odd for yourself as much as you can which in the end still could go sideways if you run out of luck.

Perhaps you got me wrong there. For clarity, a gambler faced with a single game that is 100% luck-based has no choice, and such is not foolish gambling because he just wants to gamble, which is a different case. But foolishness comes in play if there are options where you need to choose between the game that is 100% luck-based and the one where your skills can still reduce the dependence on luck (no matter how little). Everyone knows that luck is always present in gambling, but the dependence on it varies in games.

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

It's simple; the higher the dependency on luck, the more foolish the gambler is, and the lower the chance of winning, the less attractive the bet should be, and vice versa.

No need to waste money unnecessarily, so long as we can't control luck, why risk the game that will highly depend on it? This is why I like to lean more on sports betting, and in sports betting, I lean more on the 1x2 category. This is due to the fact that I want to lessen my dependence on luck with the help of the track record of the team and increase the chance of winning.

Everyone has their own style when it comes to betting. Since I don’t have much time to do research before placing bets on sport betting, I usually stick to games that rely more on luck than skill. Ideally, I’d like to develop both the skills and understanding needed to improve my chances, but I just don’t spend enough time on gambling to get there yet.

Whenever I am too busy to analyze the match and do some research, I just bet one any team that is the favorite by the bookie and allow luck to do the rest for me. However, if I have enough time, I prefer doing my own research and analysis on the match that I want to bet on in order to have an edge than depending on pure luck.

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.

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

Well, in my mind I know that all the games in a casino have a house advantage, that is, the chance of me winning is less than the chance of me losing.

So, instead of focusing on that, or luck, etc, I simply focus on which games I get the most fun at, and also how much time I can be entertained with a certain amount of money.

For example, I like playing games like craps and blackjack, because it's quite social, a bit slower, and I can usually find tables with low minimums and chat with people while playing.

On the other hand, slots and other games are not as fun for me and they can consume all my money in a few minutes.

You get the gist, and by the first approach, you are still applying wisdom. You didn't just place the bet randomly without any reason whatsoever, but at least followed the pattern of the bookie. Many people do that often, and they win. My experience has proven the same too. The favourites of the bookies are associated with low odds, and this tallies with my favourites in my own analysis, with over 90% analysed games, except those that are keenly contested with almost the same possibility to win.

[Silikiem]

I just make my gambling experience very simple to just rely on luck per game.

Yeah I understand what you're actually trying to say and the fact is for casino games like slots and crash you have to depend on luck almost every single time in fact I don't think there is a strategy for it since it's based on randomization algorithms. But most of the time for sports smaller odds can hit a win more easily.

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?

Although probability has a role to play I believe luck cuts it out most of the time and it is the reason why you see it is very possible for games with unimaginably thin winning chances to still play out more than once so yeah I'd go with luck.

Quite often, in gambling there’s a 50-50 chance of Winning and losing, but for me I first of all try as much as possible to select the best placed team if I’m betting between two teams especially in sports betting. I select the best placed team to win, I try to analyze their previous meetings and also consider their current form and then make my predictions to decide the team I’ll bet on. Even though I know anything is possible In gambling but most of the time you see that the best placed teams always comes out on top and that’s why for me I measure with my chances first and not just to rely solely on lucks.

When I place sports bets, I like to study the statistics of previous games, check the lineup, and consider the importance of the match. If I’m unsure about the odds, I’ll most likely avoid betting. Only if I want to watch the game and make it more exciting, I might place a small bet. I rarely go for pure luck, and usually, I don’t win that way.

Man city has stand firm to their decision and they do not want to face loss at the long run so they stick to their decision “no replacement no sell” so they will have to find a replacement for Sanvinho before making the arrangements of his next contract. So unfortunate for Tottenham.

City have put their interests in Tottenham on the table , I'm sure that Pep's vision is clearly in that decision, and City this time want to start with everything and leave no doubt that they can do it, Personally there are many Things that are Going to look much better About City , but for Now that sale is Closed and I don't think they will take any kind of Action.

When I place sports bets, I like to study the statistics of previous games, check the lineup, and consider the importance of the match.

This is just a common way for a bettor. Sure, it is important to check the stats of previous matches and know the possible lineup. It sometimes has a big influence for the next matches. However, sometimes players' mentality can change everything during the match. This is something difficult to predict or to analyze.

If I’m unsure about the odds, I’ll most likely avoid betting. Only if I want to watch the game and make it more exciting, I might place a small bet. I rarely go for pure luck, and usually, I don’t win that way.

Of course, if you doubt it, you are better to avoid betting on the match. That's why most people only bet on the matches that they know well the teams playing for the matches. Even, some people bet on the favorite teams only. Yes, sports betting is about luck only, it also requires good analysis.

[junder]

I personally believe in luck more than chance, especially since I enjoy slot gambling. So, there's no specific strategy for winning, and I'm not even sure there's a way to increase my chances of winning, so I rely solely on luck.

This was evident when I discovered that my balance, which had been down for a week, was only enough for one spin, and that was with the minimum bet. However, because luck was on my side, I clicked on it on a whim and got a free spin. Luckily, the win was quite substantial. This is why I believe that luck plays a bigger role.

[Mindyspace]

Honestly, I've never gambled, so I can't say whether I prefer more risk or more security. But I found the way you compared it to sports betting very interesting, because it helps me better understand how it works.

In the case of casino games, is there really a strategy that increases the odds, or is it just luck?

And injuries, too. Don't forget about that. We must check it all if we want to increase the chance of our winning. But you are right, if we are unsure about what we are going to bet, then we might as well just take a pass. It's not like there will be no other games the next day, and we will avoid losing something that could've been used for the next game to come.

Regarding luck-based games, I have played way too many slot games in different providers, and all I can say is that it can become a waste of money in the long run.

[TheUltraElite]

Small bets winning big and big bets winning none, is the crux of the discussion here, which only stamps the unpredictability of gambling games. There are instances of both and hence one should keep a limit as to what they are gambling with. Keep it limited to games you understand and games that you feel confident about and keep the budget on a limit too.

You cannot win every game and you will more likely lose more than you win which is why you should limit everything.

[Nightwatchmare]

I bet majorly on sports betting, and i prefer picking big clubs with small odds because they have a higher chance of winning. Before i pick any big club with small odds in my bet, i will first of all check the team news if there's any injury in the team and i will also check the last 5 matches of the team to know if they have been winning their past matches so that i won't be deceived with small odds because most times small odds cut games in sports betting. And I used to predict unrealistic bet because if you are lucky it will play out and the bet you are more sure of won't play out.

Luck or chance depends on the type of gambling that you're engaged in, although no standpoint of viewing gambling can guarantee wins. If it's mostly casino games like slot then it is basically luck but if it is sports bet you can analyze the chances of winning your bet. Bettors who don't analyze games are depending on luck to win because they don't rely on statistics. Whatever strategy that you choose to measure, whether it's luck or chance remember that it is mostly luck that you need to win. Always use small amount to gamble, that is the only tool that you have a control over.

Luck, unfortunately, cannot be controlled and therefore all gamblers try to find some other levers with which they can achieve winning in gambling. And you are absolutely right that sports betting is a more controllable tool. Although in fact, we should not forget that in gambling there are card games, where the player can also make a very significant contribution to winning.
But in my opinion, those types of gambling where only luck controls the outcome of the game are needed simply for relaxation, and not for making money.

[bakasabo]

While gambling, I think I pay more attention to chances to win, then try to predict if I am lucky enough to win a bet. As a realist, I dont think how can I measure luck or rely on it. My honest answer would be I value time spent and emotions more than luck or chance to win. Within the topic, I pay more attention on % chance to win a bet, instead of thinking that, for example, I have lost several high risk bets, and not high rish bet is definitely going to win.

[Oluwa-btc]

Honestly when I gamble basically sports betting I'm more intentional about my chances of winning than mere lucks cause I'm aware about the role luck plays in every game and when one bets it's best not to hope on luck cause you'll have your mind shipped so instead paying close attention to the chances of winning it's preferable as it gives you medium to know the level of risks you're taking and how to manage it properly.

Yes chances is the main thing because whenever I'm betting any game I will first of all no if I have a chance to win this game or not and if I see that there is no single thing that justify the game to be fruitful then I consider it inappropriate to use so actually between this two one is very ineffective in terms of results because it has high chance of losing than the other one, currently betting with chance has the highest usage because every gamblers want to make sure they no the games they are chosen that's why even if there was a high profile club the moment things began to go South for them that is how they will start being careful to bet them because the gamblers are considering the chances.

My measurements are on my risk tolerance, luck? I am not in control, chances? They can turn to bad luck, the only thing that I am in control of is my money, how much I am willing to risk and how many rounds I can go in a week, this is what I can control.

My gambling habit is neutral I don't expect anything to happen until it does, and I am not ready to be caught in the Web of emotions, this is the part why I choose to risk small amount of money always.

It's not worth it, because gambling doesn't always go the way you plan it, if money making is all you have in mind you are already in trouble, chasing wins and losses is what I scared the most with gambling.

[nullama]

As a slot player, I prefer luck. Chance certainly has strong influence on the outcome of our bets, but as we all know, gambling is actually more about luck. Even if we have 99% winning chance, we can still lose when we experience the remaining 1%. Remembering how my friend had a bad experience because he was too fixated on the chance, he played "Slide" on Stake.com, made x1,1 & bet $1000 on it, do you know what he got? the result came out was x1,08 .

The reality is that events that are rare can happen, but not very often.

The most typical scenario though, would be that the most probable outcome will happen. But you never know which will happen next.

Our minds didn't evolve to understand probabilities natively as we understand Newtonian physics.
