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

[Accardo]

Sometimes, according to the gambling condition of the gambler, they have different feelings about winning. They think that they will win in that bet, but in reality, it does not happen. They lose, but this is not always the case. There are many who win when they feel like it. When a gambler places a bet, he relies on uncertainty. He can get either a win or a loss. But the thing is that instead of being sure of winning, gambler can protect himself from the feeling of a sudden big loss.

Gamblers go through a lot of challenge whenever their instincts claims to be sure and then they double down along the line for bigger win, and end up losing. Whoever thinks they're right or sure of their prediction could be getting hurt in different ways, when they don't win. The blame might eat them up on the inside, maybe for not following the right instinct or choice, or they begin to have self doubt. Gaming shouldn't be a thing to conclude the result when it's not yet out.

I think the basis of calling a bet a sure one relies heavily on the clarity and the understanding that the gambler has gotten about the gamble. For instance, when we talk about sports betting, you look at the teams involved and you're able to tell easily what club wins and what club losses, then you minimize your level of risks through reducing your odds and probably increasing your betting funds though.

It's a very good strategy When I'm going to bet on a Sporting Event , I Study it a lot I'm not capable of making 2 bets at once I only have to make 1 and with that one , I just have to wait and see the game and get it right But there are bettors who make paydays and I don't think I could handle that There's a lot of drain and waiting for the majority to get it right is difficult.

Exactly because when your instincts is going twords doubling your money in gambling is pretty obvious that you are dragging yourself into more losses at the end of the day. Because you might likely go extra mile just to make your dream come true, sometimes I used to wonder why someone would purposely take such conclusion of a game that luck plays a significant role in determining the final outcome. Since our instincts can not easily generate winnings when the luck is not there, we should always gamble for fun and entertainment with the amount we can afford to lose.

The chaos of bets that we believe are sometimes very safe, we must be very measured when making them because if we lose it is like being on a cloud and falling suddenly, the blow will be very strong, the only way for a bet to be safe is because it is Already rigged and that is Something very unethical, personally I do not like those things because it is very low Morale and Cheating , for that reason we must be a little more honest people, only then is fun Guaranteed.

It's even very difficult for common gamblers to know about rigged games because it requires the person to have and inside information before they can be able to have a game of assured score to bet on. The people that have opportunity of betting in rigged games are big bettors that have hands in rigging the game, but if they have the information leaked, that's when other common player take advantage of the information. Apart from that there's no way of being 100% sure about the outcome of a game.

[The Cryptovator]

When a gambler is confident about gambling against a game, it means he is sure of winning but not one hundred per cent at all. So yes, this is gambling as well. In the last US election I was 99 per cent sure Donald Trump would be the winner. In such a case, even if I bet with someone, it will still be a gamble. Because there is no way to predict something one hundred per cent at all.

Even if you are overconfident but not sure, it means you are playing with luck, which is called gambling. We can't really gamble that we know one hundred per cent; only unsure things matter to gamble.

[giammangiato]

There's no such thing as safety in gambling. I say it over and over again. It's impossible to be absolutely certain of a win. The only way to be 100% sure is to bet on a rigged game.
We can be as sure as we want about any bet, from a presidential election to a basketball or soccer game, but assuming we're certain is a mistake that could prove very costly.

There’s a sure way to betting but it’s not allowed and this method sample is arbitrage betting that allows you to gain +EV on each bet to received guaranteed profit.

But on this case, the OP point out that there’s only 90% winning percentage that he attached guaranteed word to make this thread confusing.

There’s no such thing as guaranteed below 100% like what you said.

[Stormisover]

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

Yeah even at 0.1% or 99% wining or not you are still gambling. Though even at 90% chance you can still lose.

Gambling isn't just about the chances of winning, it's about risking something of value on an uncertain outcome. That 10% chance of losing still means you're taking a risk. And the danger is, as you said, overconfidence can make you risk more than you should, thinking you're in control. Even the bestlooking bets can go sideways. That's why true professionals always manage risk no matter how "certain" something feels. Cause that chance can flop too anytime.

I love your presentation and to add more to it I would say that provided the exact event is not mastermind or controlled by us where outcomes are not certain then it is gambling because it bound to be a risk irrespective of our confidence and how much positive we are, some times when this winning happens it boosts our confidence and we will be like we knew it was going to be this way perhaps we were not 100 percent sure, I remember betting a football match to have an over 1.5 goals for full time game luckily enough at 3 minutes starting of the game I have already saw 1 goal I was happy with the hope that before the end of the game the goals is going to be more than the over 1.5 goals but unfortunately there was no other goals till end of the game and I lost the game.

The fact is that being overly confident is not always a good thing, often, it can lead to disastrous results. No matter how confident you are about the bet you place, luck is still the key factor in gambling, this is common knowledge that everyone knows. Don't be too confident, as the outcome is still uncertain. When you lose, it's not just money that's lost, but also self-confidence and inner peace. A wise gambler will view gambling as a form of entertainment, and if they win, they'll consider it a bonus.

We cant be sure of wining in gambling, so we shouldn't allow anyone lure us into deception that there is anything of such, i have been hearing about how some talked about going for fixed games and so on, which at the end, they eventually got disappointed because this cannot continue to happen like that in an untrusted manner, we cant be sure of the game we are playing until after the end, that is why we take the risk to lose or win in gambling.

I wonder where some gamblers are getting the idea of receiving a fix match prediction because the fixed match information is not very common among every kind of gamblers, except for the high profile gamblers that has an upper hand of connection in linking up with those that take part in the match fixing. Like you already said, the outcome of a match is seen or known after the game is over, anything before then is just an assumptions.

Though the topic is about sure bet but the nature of this venue is all about risk, there's still chances that even how good your analysis and assessment there's still possibility that upset may happen, and following you with your statement aggression might be trigger when you made a mistake placing bet, things that very possible to take place when you confidently think that you'll gonna win your pick.

If it really happens that the player had 100% chance to win with no risk involve I guess this is not gambling anymore. Because if we talk about gambling it possess uncertainty and risk without this elements gambling is already out on the picture.

But I don't see any like this happening on gambling scene since even if we got some tips that we may have huge chance to win still the risk is there and provably that losing chance still there.

I guess this is why people got confuse and learn from bad lesson in hard way since they believe that this 100% chance to win exist on gambling.

Fixed matches might be existing even before, but still, there's no guarantee that the result will end up as what you expected it to be. That's why there's still risk of losing your money no matter how confident you're to win. Moreover, probably there are many gamblers who became rich by now if sure win is existing. So when it comes to gambling, don't set your expectation high because upset can happen.

[Judith87403]

The truth is whatever thing that you're 90% sure of the outcome will no longer be considered as gambling, if gamblers is 90% guaranteed or 80% I think we are going to rephrase the word "gambling" to a different thing.

Because gambling is supposed to be an activity that based purely on luck, though whatever thing that requires betting with your hard earned Money is supposed to be considered as gambling whether you're sure of wining or not is still gambling, but is almost impossible for everyone to be sure that they're going to win in gamble.

[Leahized]

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.

According to your comment, it is true that it is a gambling game. Because so much money is never used everywhere. Are only used for investment. However, since you say the predict. So it is never possible to say for sure, whether it will happen. However, since it has been said is possible, too much money should never be used. But if another aspect of this is called, it is to trade. Although it is a predict that works and it is not sure. But it is never based on slot games or all other bets, and to use money in any game, I will take it as a bet. If you watch social media, you will see a lot of bets ads and the result 100% it says they work. But they can never give all the privileges and they take a lot of money from them. So we have to remember, prediction never works completely.

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

Even if it's 90%, there's still a 10% chance you'll lose, so it can still be considered gambling, because gambling is essentially an activity that involves the risk of losing something of value in the hope of gaining a greater reward, for example, Barcelona vs Como 1907, most people would have guessed that Barcelona would win, but there's always a chance of a different outcome, no matter how small, so people who bet on it could be said to be gambling.

[Fuso.hp]

If the outcome of a game were known in advance, a gambler would spend all his money on gambling. Those who say that they can predict the outcome of a game are either cheaters or crazy. From my experience in gambling, I can say that before taking a gamble or placing a bet, I carefully examine the odds. If I think that I have a high chance of winning the match, then I take the bet. I have lost money in many such matches where one team, despite being the favorite, lost to another weaker team. The outcome of gambling is completely uncertain, so here you have to make a decision to gamble using only your skills and experience. If everything goes well, the outcome may not be in the gambler's favor, otherwise the outcome will go against him.

No body can accurately know the outcome of a game 100% unless it's a fixed game and then the fixers are aware of the outcome, otherwise game that has a high chance of winning, also has the slight chance of being a lost game and the lose can happen out of the luck by the losing team. I thought know why some people thinks that there's professionals in knowing the outcome of a bet when the game is not yet over, they don't realize that it remains a prediction until the end of the game.

It's true, for example I'm one of those who thinks that the League and very good world football is rigged for the most part, refereeing decisions, that freedom with which the referee decides and doesn't give importance to the VAR, that's bad, that's something that hasn't been corrected yet and as long as that continues I'll continue to believe that all or most of the games are rigged, if this is the case for these leagues, I can't imagine it would be for lower level leagues like the amateur ones.
