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.
I think that experience is often worthless in gambling regardless of luck or chance. In sports betting, experience is valued, but ultimately luck determines victory or defeat. In gambling, slot games are 100% luck based while in sports betting winning chance is same to experience and luck. No matter how you look at gambling statistics luck is a major factor in every scenario. When you bet on sports strategically you might think that the best team will win but it turns out that the team that perform best on the field always wins. Your observation and research of teams throughout the week can be considered useless simply because of luck. Many strong teams lose to weaker teams. That is why a recommendation is valuable. You said to always use a small amount of money for gambling this is the only way to minimize losses.

Gambling is a thing of luck winning bet game is something of luck having a smaller odd doesn't guarantee winning the smallest odd can fuck your bet slip up. Odds are just numbers given to teams base on their strength and how inform they think they are but football is sometimes impossible to predict correctly which team will win and not base on odd number again so this has made me not to go for a direct winning again when gambling because the team you hope on to win can disappoint at any time so i prefer going for other betting option than straight winning.

You made a great comment there, in most cases, most especially with slot and casino games , experience doesn't, really give you an edge cause those games are designed to run on pure chance, and no strategy can change that, with sport betting it's actually true that research and experience can help but just like you said luck actually do play a big role. So that's why to me betting small hell's and protect you from loosing heavily most especially when luck isn't coming your way.
It's actually safer that we have the mindset to take betting as a game for entertainment and not a way to be successful.

And I like to bet on a direct win, but I try to do it in those matches where there is an underdog and in my opinion the odds should not be so high. This kind of implies that I should win due to this, although of course my strategy is not very good, because losses happen more often, but at the same time I understand that this is part of the game and I need more situations. In addition, it is better not to rush and even if we doubt the bet, it is better not to make it, because in the future there will be much better situations from which we can get a win.

I will say one thing at the end of everything in this case that whether we bet on luck or chance is basically a big fact is how much of our fund we are using in that bet. Because even sports betting shows that here our results also depend on luck, and also sometimes we can also win based on chances, as you said in underdog situations.
But in the last match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano, we all assumed that Barcelona would win but the match ended in a draw. So whether we bet directly or based on luck, we should keep the amount within our limit and then place the bet.

I haven't bet on sports in a long time. I now much prefer casino games like slots, which don't have a win percentage, so we can't gauge how much we'll win if our predictions are correct. Essentially, if you stop when you're winning, that's your win amount.
But I don't really care about the outcome; I prefer the process, whether it's a pleasant or unpleasant experience. It really gets my adrenaline pumping and trains my self-control.

For casino games, we don't really need to measure the odds of winning. What we can feel is playing and enjoying the game. Let luck come, and we can have fun. But for sports betting, of course, there are many bettors who calculate the odds of winning rather than relying on luck.
Although some bettors certainly just bet randomly or only follow their friends' bets. They consider the odds because they have an understanding of what they are betting on. If they do not have that understanding, I think the bet would be the same as in a casino game.

I agree with you sir, but In as much as strategy plays a vital role in aiding success in a game, luck will still speaks louder in most cases, in the best of my knowledge gambling is unpredictable, have seen a match were the lesser team with the bigger odd won the bigger team hand's down tell me who would have place his bet against the bigger team, so you see being lucky is also part of the game because so far as gambling is concerned nothing is certain it all depends  on how lucky you are that day.


Yes, but you have to know how to differentiate and be clear about our Possibilities , because at the end of the day we are the ones risking the money, and what we would lose would be our money, that is why currently even making Sports ads is delicate because any factor Influences a lot, on a personal level I have had many failures Because I have bet on teams that are very Strong and good to a Small team and as you say, the small and not so Famous one beat the one that has Everything.

I agree with you sir, but In as much as strategy plays a vital role in aiding success in a game, luck will still speaks louder in most cases, in the best of my knowledge gambling is unpredictable, have seen a match were the lesser team with the bigger odd won the bigger team hand's down tell me who would have place his bet against the bigger team, so you see being lucky is also part of the game because so far as gambling is concerned nothing is certain it all depends  on how lucky you are that day.


Yes, but you have to know how to differentiate and be clear about our Possibilities , because at the end of the day we are the ones risking the money, and what we would lose would be our money, that is why currently even making Sports ads is delicate because any factor Influences a lot, on a personal level I have had many failures Because I have bet on teams that are very Strong and good to a Small team and as you say, the small and not so Famous one beat the one that has Everything.

Gambling always depends on luck, you will analyze your luck in different ways and decide what will happen. So since it is confirmed that winning in gambling will depend on your luck, you should not bet a large amount of money in gambling because if you lose, you will have to lose the money. Whether you win or lose, you have to enjoy everything. Why should you take risks and bet a large amount of money where there is no guarantee of winning? Despite understanding all these things, the only reason why you cannot stay away from gambling is emotion. No matter how much you understand the things, your greed will force you to think that if you gamble, you will win.

I tend to look at the odds, even though I know it's ultimately purely luck. I base my bets on the odds when I bet on sports. When I bet on slots, I have no way of knowing my true chances; it's a game where I rely entirely on luck. So I don't think there's a definitive answer to the question in the topic's title.

Gambling is a thing of luck winning bet game is something of luck having a smaller odd doesn't guarantee winning the smallest odd can fuck your bet slip up. Odds are just numbers given to teams base on their strength and how inform they think they are but football is sometimes impossible to predict correctly which team will win and not base on odd number again so this has made me not to go for a direct winning again when gambling because the team you hope on to win can disappoint at any time so i prefer going for other betting option than straight winning.

This is about the bettor and not the bet itself. People that are very experienced in gambling don't even look at the odd, they look at possible outcome and not things that are unrealistic. If they see that team A has high chance of winning team B, they will take team A with small odd than take risk that isn't possible. They can go for other options that are best for the game even if it's not enough to give them something, the reward to risk is always small.

Luck is one thing you need but you need gambling survival skills, you can have survival skills and not be luck and you are gong to make your money but if you can't have luck and no skill and expect to win. This is what many people don't understand with gambling. There is no way you are going to gamble and think you are going to have it easy, luck will only comes when you have already master the skills, you wouldn't expect luck but it will becoming your way.

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.
I think that experience is often worthless in gambling regardless of luck or chance. In sports betting, experience is valued, but ultimately luck determines victory or defeat. In gambling, slot games are 100% luck based while in sports betting winning chance is same to experience and luck. No matter how you look at gambling statistics luck is a major factor in every scenario. When you bet on sports strategically you might think that the best team will win but it turns out that the team that perform best on the field always wins. Your observation and research of teams throughout the week can be considered useless simply because of luck. Many strong teams lose to weaker teams. That is why a recommendation is valuable. You said to always use a small amount of money for gambling this is the only way to minimize losses.
You made a great comment there, in most cases, most especially with slot and casino games , experience doesn't, really give you an edge cause those games are designed to run on pure chance, and no strategy can change that, with sport betting it's actually true that research and experience can help but just like you said luck actually do play a big role. So that's why to me betting small hell's and protect you from loosing heavily most especially when luck isn't coming your way.
It's actually safer that we have the mindset to take betting as a game for entertainment and not a way to be successful.

Well said,Gambling always circles back to luck no matter how much experience someone has slot games are completely random and even sports betting where research and strategy can add some edge still depends heavily on unpredictable factors injuries bad calls weather or simply an underdog outperforming on the day experience might improve judgment but it can’t remove the role of chance. Keeping bets small is really the only safe approach it helps minimize losses and keeps the activity in the realm of entertainment rather than a financial plan when seen as just a game it’s easier to accept both wins and losses without letting emotions take over the danger starts when people believe they can outsmart systems designed to favor the house.

Treating gambling as entertainment instead of a path to success is the healthiest mindset it protects from unrealistic expectations and prevents disappointment from turning into deeper problems balance discipline and perspective are what keep the experience safe. Another thing is knowing when to walk away because chasing losses only makes things worse the more someone tries to win back what they lost the deeper they usually fall gambling is supposed to be fun not a source of stress or debt so setting limits on time and money before even starting is one of the best habits to develop. In the end luck will always decide the outcome no matter the strategy or experience so the best approach is to enjoy the moment play within limits and never expect gambling to be a solution for financial goals that way the enjoyment stays while the risks are controlled.

I am trying to unpack the differences between luck and chances but can't figure it out yet. I hope someone here gives an explicit explanation to what luck means in gambling and what chances mean in gambling. Regardless, it depends on what kind of gambling you're engaged in. There are some people who are more accustomed to sport betting while there are those who are more accustomed to slots and casinos as well as those who play the both. Slots and casinos are more relied upon ones luck, which does not have any real and serious link with one's experience but if you know how to take good chances in sports betting, you will have the chance to win games you're sure of.

There is no chances in gambling  but they are all luck. Gambling were saying that there are some games that are for chance which are poker and sports betting which I might not agree with. If you are not lucky in sports betting, the team you trust most would disappoint you and many gamblers who have given serious faith on their strong teams have been disappointed in one way to another.
Poker game is the worst, so all games from my end needs lucky to 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.

What's usually your pick as a gambler since sometimes some persons are luckier than others?
I gamble to win but I know that the chances of winning is too small so I do not put much of my hope in the game as I know that I will not win. I will not win if I am concentrating on the winning, I can only win when I just gamble. My chances of winning is too small but I don't know for other gamblers if there's is not same as mine.

I tend to look at the odds, even though I know it's ultimately purely luck. I base my bets on the odds when I bet on sports. When I bet on slots, I have no way of knowing my true chances; it's a game where I rely entirely on luck. So I don't think there's a definitive answer to the question in the topic's title.
That is also a good way to make a bet, the strong team get the small odds the the small team get the big odds, big team normally win the all teams that is why they have small odds.

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.
The most important thing to realize about gambling is that it is entirely dependent on chance.  Forget about analyzing their previous experiences and assuming that their current performance is a result of their good luck.  Because all of your predictions will fail if you are unlucky, sometimes what experts say when it comes to gambling. It's highly important to rely on luck because it comes before the chances you measure initially. This is because there are instances in which you can pick all the top teams in the betting and the strongest team will end up losing.

I think it depends on the situation, the teams, the players, the conditions, and so many other metrics. Making bets on the same result or the same type constantly is not a good way, one should always experiment with other options if they think the chances of them getting them right are higher. If I know that both teams playing a game have equal chances or strength, and that the game can end in a draw, I will probably choose that option, or maybe if you know one team is generally stronger, but the other might score goals as well, you should go for both teams scoring at least one goal, etc.

Sports betting is all about understanding the sport and then having enough understanding of how the bets work, and a good strategy is also important for deciding what bet you are going to make for each game that you wish to bet on. Relying on luck in sports betting is a bad option, because you will most probably lose most of the matches if you are just making random picks and thinking that you will win if luck favours you.

Personally, I honestly don't really think about the chances of winning big or small. For me, betting is more about entertainment and a passion for a particular type of game. So, I usually play games I genuinely enjoy, whether it's slots, crash, or sports betting. It feels different when we play games that make us happy, even if we end up losing.

The thing is, if we're only chasing the chance of winning big, we can sometimes become too serious, easily disappointed, and even stressed if the results don't meet our expectations. But if we play a game we truly enjoy, the feeling of "winning" isn't always about money or a big jackpot. Sometimes it's simply about successfully playing according to our gut feeling, or simply enjoying the moment when the game goes according to expectations. For me, winning or losing is a bonus. The important thing is that I can feel satisfied with the game I choose.

It depends on the game I play. If I bet on sports, I rely more on chance, and the same goes for poker. However, when I play other games, I rely more on luck even though there is a chance. To play against the machine, I prefer luck.

I play slot games a lot and also Plinko. I so much enjoy the fun in the slot games, coupled with the sound mechanism, or sound system, as it gives me that fun-filled atmosphere to be in the game spirit. I do not play games for luck and chances, I play games for fun, and I do that in my leisure time, so I can enjoy the fun vibes and all of that satisfaction the game comes with.

However, if I win, I take it as a plus and a bonus for playing the game that day, but if otherwise, it does not bother me because from the onset, I play for fun, not for luck to make money from gambling.
