Is it still gambling if you're sure you're going to win?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

The answer is up to you, yes & no,

The answer doesn't depend on what he thinks but on what the truth is, if you think that you know the outcome of a game and because of that you can use the opportunity to take betting as an investment or a means of income, you will get disappointed when you don't expect and on that day you might lose everything you have. Whether you know what the outcome of any game can be or you don't know, it still regarded as gambling because in gambling you can not determine 100% of what will happen. You can still be sure about the result and then something unexpected will happen.

You can't really say that you are sure about something because you said that there can be unexpected things to happen. How would you be sure of something if there are factors that could change the outcome you expected? The simple answer is that no one can read the future so no one can really 100% figure out what could happen and be sure of it. Even those people who say they can see the future always put out disclaimers saying they aren't 100% sure either. No one can ever be truly sure.

Being confident in winning is like being confident, and while confidence is good, we must be able to limit it. Overconfidence in gambling can be disastrous, I have no doubt about that.

I suspect that many people who become addicted to gambling and experience significant bankruptcy initially had high self-confidence, so even after losing, they still believed they could turn things around by winning enough to cover their losses. However, instead of being confident in winning, it only leads to despair.
We must remember that luck is paramount in gambling. If we're lucky, we'll win, and if we're unlucky, no matter how hard we try, we won't win.

All this is absolutely true and when some gambler says that this only happens to other stupid people, then he needs to be afraid that he too can fall under the influence of excessive self-confidence, which will ruin his deposit.
In many life situations, self-confidence plays a very positive role. For example, if you are too confident in yourself at your regular job, then others will think that they do not know something, unlike you, and will give in to you, changing their opinion. But this does not apply to gambling.

I think this is just overconfidence, and if you overlook it, it can lead one to lose. Even if you think a game will be a win for you, that doesn't make gambling predictable, and this doesn't mean you can now gamble with any amount of money because you think you will end up winning.

Let's be careful about our thoughts in gambling; gambling is very much unpredictable. Whether you think you will win doesn't make it easy or make winning certain. For me, I think this is a wrong mindset in gambling, and it can mislead one on how to go about gambling. Gamblers need to gain a real understanding and set personal thoughts and mindsets aside; this will really help one handle gambling better.

Even if there's only a %1 chance of losing, it's still called gambling. I've lost a lot by betting on football matches with 1.05 odds All bets that seem easy are actually harder. There's a lot of match fixing in football, so you can lose on games you see as guaranteed.

Can we be sure of winning a bet in gambling, because this cannot be what is certain that we can have a preset mind upon what an outcome of any bet is, except we are going to collide with others to cheat on others as a result, because in gambling, anything can happen, that is why we make use of a reputable gambling platform in playing our bet and to remained secured for the best that could ever comes out of it.

[Zackz5000]

No gambler is sure that they will win what they do is try their luck if they will win or not anybody that is sure of winning will definitely bet with all his savings since he is fully aware that he is going to win.
You can only just conclude within your imagination that you will win but not sure if gamblers are always sure about their winning i believe most casino company would have close down before now, so winning in gambling is never a sure that rather a thing of luck.

This may not be about been sure of winning because even in coalition to cheat you never can be too sure as the other gamblers can possibly betray and that which you were hoping on with the mind of certainty to win the system ends up turning against you because someone betrayed.  Even the reputable site can have some fowl play but because of their reputation, they never get noticed as they have built reputation big enough to make up for some of these misconduct wheennit happens.

I understand your input here, but lets take it in this manner of approach, maybe this can be more applicable on physical gambling casinos, whereby you can decide to play games with a fellow gambler and if not smart or experienced enough, you can be cheated, but talking about the probability of this same thing happening in online casinos may be difficult, because everything is almost done virtually and we cant determine what a game outcome maybe and not even by any other player that is involved or the casino itself.

Even those people who say they can see the future always put out disclaimers saying they aren't 100% sure either. No one can ever be truly sure.

If there was certainty, everyone would take up gambling as a profession. I think if someone could assure 50% win rate, many would still try to get rich by gambling. But in the true sense of the word, there is no certainty of winning from gambling. Those who want to claim that this uncertain platform is somehow certain have a high chance of losing because those gamblers will try to use more money to ensure a win. Just as humans cannot predict what will happen in the future, they also cannot guarantee anything.

Anybody that's sure of the outcome of their bet isn't gambling but I don't think that's possible because despite you getting the scoreline of a fixed game, there could be some changes happening when the game is played. And when you're using a tempered game , something can still go wrong. The Idea of having the result of a game before you play it doesn't always work out that way and that's what there's always a note by those game fixers that there's no 100% guaranteed for what they're giving you.I don't get it with people looking to cheat the system always. How will you feel when you win something that you already know you were going to win. There's no fun in that and that's not something I want to experience if I'm gambling.

I think being too sure in gambling can be seen as been carried away by illusion, although I won't say this things don't happen, this kind of f behaviour is normally found among sport bet gamblers, there are some matches that a better will be convinced that one of the teams will will win comfortably but that doesn't mean that it will happen that way, there are many things that determines the outcome of any football match aside individual team form, something like red card, unexpected injury, sometimes referees can be biased to and many more so that's what no one should be too sure in their bet to avoid being disappointed, those that believes that they knows how to predict matches or those that are too convince by their instincts that their gamble will come exactly aa they predict it lose alot.

It's only a few times that bettors can actually be confident in the outcome of their bets and it happens like that, else it's not so simple that people can just get to know about the outcome of a bet. If it was that simple or easy, many bettors would be extremely rich, especially those players that knows how to do proper prediction. One can be confident in the outcome of their bet but yet lose the game because the least expect thing could bring a different outcome.

One can be confident in the outcome of their bet but yet lose the game because the least expect thing could bring a different outcome.

It is very true, at the end of the day we realize that this is a risk that will always be taken according to what we must do, the one who bets risks money, just as he can Multiply it he can lose it, when I bet even if I am sure I must accept my defeat if it happens, somehow I must learn for the next time to bet with more foundation, that is what must always be done, with that knowledge and experience mature.

[LogitechMouse]

There are event you can predict on that even though it's not 💯 guaranteed that you're going to win,  a level of certainty makes you think that you're surely going to win.

The downside of that feeling is that you might become over confident to use a big amount in the game since you're to a large extent certain that you're going to win.

Can we still say we are gambling if the event is something we are at least 90% sure that we are going to win?

As long as it's not 100%, it's still gambling. Even it's 99% chance that you're winning, there's still 1% chance that you're not. I've played MMORPG games for a long time already that's why even a 1% chance or even lower still matters - just like in those games where the drop rate is below 1%. I also apply it on gambling.

For me, as long as it's not 100%, I don't want to say that you're "guaranteed" to win. There's no such thing as certainty when it comes to gambling or even in investing. 90% chance of winning can still make you lose your money. I mean there's still 1 out of 10 chances that you will lose your money, and that's still a huge one. For me, there's no such thing as "sure win" in gambling despite the low odds or in this case, 90% chance of winning.

Yes that's true, no game is so sure that we can assume it not to be called gambling, even if the chances of winning is %200, it is still considered Gambling. I even wonder why op will think that a game that is too sure can not be considered gambling. If not gambling then what else is it? Just as the case may be, no game is a sure game till the final result is out. All game are considered to be luck base and not sure game.

I mean, yeah. Of course its still gambling even if you're sure that you're going to win, there is still a chance that you will lose which is not the greatest thing to think of but hey that is how it goes. Even when you're full in it 210 percent that 1 off chance that you think is so ooooo far out there and not even close to becoming attainable finally hits you're sunken down in the dumps and thats the pit for you!!!!! Oink oink piggy oh no. Thats a big mess, yes in deed.

If we aren't calling it gambling then what else should we call it? so-far-as it involves staking of your hard earned money that is gambling of course, just that it is more like a sure game in other words sure banger, however there are still some games that you will have the 100 percent guarantee of winning but yet it wouldn't happen as planned rather the reverse might be the case, that why it's always important you expect both at every game so you wouldn't get disappointed.

[Ishicryptic]

No gambler can be too certain about winning otherwise it is no longer gambling, it becomes a business that you are sure that you will make profit. It is that level of uncertainty that makes you want to risk your money to determine the probability of it happening, even when you are quite sure that little uncertainty will make you not to put all your money into it. Being overconfident in gambling is irresponsible, it is what leads to addiction, no matter how sure you are you still need to use amount that you can afford to loose.

Yes, even if you are 90% sure, it is still gambling. imo gambling is something where the outcome is uncertain and the value of your stake is always at risk. Also, if there is an element of chance that can affect the outcome, such as any-chance or dominant factor test, these are also considered gambling. Do you know about Snap card game?? it is 100% dependent on your skill, it also passes the any-chance test and considered as gambling.. Actually, we need to see how much skill or chance dominates a game, not our confidence level. so become cognizant of certainty does not blot out the wager.
