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

[Muba20]

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.

Being overconfident means that the gambler is facing a big risk. When a gambler is overconfident in betting, he tries to use more money in betting. There is a kind of arrogance in him. He does not pay attention to the suggestions of others while placing bets. If he loses, he thinks that he will win in his next bet. In this way, he keeps losing. Winning in betting is never guaranteed, so it is better to think that there is a possibility of losing in every bet.

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

Why not? We are still predicting the probability of an event that's yet to happen. Gambling is all about prediction and try to make some good amount of money from our prediction skills. We can gamble on anything aside from games, we can gamble on nature like if it rains today or not. And place some money on it eventually if it does, we win.

Though I can't say about an event that has a 90% it's mostly a 50/50 that's because when predicting, we have a win and a loss. So they both have to be equal. When you hit the win, guy take your 50 and a loss same thing happens. So even if you most likely know the outcome of a future event, you can't be 90% sure since it's yet to happen..

Even though the high passage of winning is 99%, games can still change at the last minute.In sporty bets, this stuff happens often.
Hence, in as much as you stake a game even though it's a 99% sure odd, it's gambling because money is involved and you are expecting to win.

Are you talking about sport betting or SportyBet? We have a local casino with that name, and sport betting is general; that’s by the way…

I agree with you that nothing is certain; even when we consider the game-winning chances to be 99.9%, that 0.1% left can still give a chance of failure to that game. Until we see the game result announced, we should be prepared for the impossible, as we don’t have any sure wins out there.

Is there any event that you will be guaranteed that you going to win when gambling? I don’t know about other gambling events, but I gamble on football alone, and I don’t think their is anything like 100 percent guarantee when you are gambling on football, because being disappointed is something that’s so common. A strong team might be playing against a weaker team, and you will be confident that the strong team will be winning the match, but at the end, the team which you predicted to win will be the team that will end up losing.

Exactly, You can never guarantee that you will win any game you stake. Because is always unpredictable anything can possibly occur. Anyone that stake game do it because he sure of it, he will win that is why he play it but since gambling is always unpredictable you can't know what will happen at ends. If you have stake money in any game you are already on gambling so they is not anything like if is still gambling if you're going to win. Many people gamble so that they will get profit is just few that will say they gamble for fun but what I know is that anyone that is gambling is because of the profits that he will benefit that is why he stake to get huge profit. In my opinion many people that said they are gambling because of fun if they win they should leave the money and continue betting and losing without using the profit. Any odd you play not everytime he favours because if small odd favours always no one we be playing big odd they will play small odd and stake high and get huge returns.

Even if the chances of losses is just 2% then it can indeed be considered to be gambling, except of course for some reason the odds of winning is 100/0% then we can say it’s not really gambling. What makes people call an event gambling is the odds of winning and losing, regardless of what those odds are, for some games, the odds of winning are more and for some, the odds of losing are way more and that’s just the nature of gambling.

[Oluwa-btc]

Exactly it's still explains the fact that you're gambling cause you're using some money but then having certainty about a win could be a normal aspects of gambling and it's thus described as gambling from all indications. So in a lighter shell even the least percentage of certainty proves that you're gambling so yes I agree to it.

As long as it's a gambling event, like sport there is no certainty that you will win, I said it and will keep saying it. Even during die minutes last few seconds in a football match or basketball game, things do turn and around and your certainty then leaves you unchecked, what I'm saying in essence is that gambling is gambling, whether you're sure of it or not it's gambling. But always remember that their is no certainty in gambling.

[junder]

Whether I was winning or losing, I've experienced this. At the time, I could say I was in a phase of extreme gambling addiction. So, I was pursuing winnings at that time. Yes, I often gambled, and I certainly lost more often, but this didn't stop me from gambling because I believed I would win the next time, whether I won or lost. But it's important to realize that this kind of thing is the key to destruction.

Yeah, and still upset can happen even in that small chance of losing gambling is a risky venue where assurance is not possible, unless there's inside job or manipulation that already been set up for a sure win. As there's no sure deal like mentioned until the game is not done there's still chance that you my lose your pick, you can only conclude once the game has been decided.

That most have been a typo error and of course I'm from the same local so I understand that the two mean different things but which ever we take it for it still goes with the same thing and spreads same meaning. But meant sport betting.
About the  certainty of a game or gamble, I don't always see people say their gambling or sport betting is sure, it's rare but in local sport betting you will hear that more and I also try to put people to the understanding that nothing is guaranteed even the next minutes of a person, so even if you have an insider knowledge or information it can still be changed.

That is why it is still gambling no matter how sure you are, as you can't say, you are 100% sure about the results. There's a percentage that you have no assurance of. I don't think there is any gambling game that you can say, you are 100% sure that you're going to win. Even in poker or sportsbetting, the percentage goes higher as you become like the expert. But to say guaranteed 100% is still not common. If someone will promise you such winning chance, doubt its motive as he may just be deceiving you with such promise. These are commonly found in some social media channels promising their subscribers to have high percentage of winning, but the reality is - it is not.

As far as I know, gambling is an activity that involves risking something of value for the purpose of receiving a reward (if the guess is correct). So, we can say that all bets that still have a chance of winning or losing are considered as gambling. However, I don't know of a gambling game that has a 100% chance of winning, does that really exist? I don't think there is such a thing. Even for businesses, there is a chance of loss, and I have never seen anything with a 100% chance of winning. Has anyone ever seen one?

[r_victory]

If the event doesn't guarantee a 100% win, it's a gamble. If it's guaranteed, it's a scam.

Joking aside, even if the odds are 90%, it's still a gamble. You'll still have 10% against you, and I don't advise anyone to bet a very large amount, even in such a case.

You are right, nothing can change the fact that staking an amount of whether or not you are sure about winning is still gambling...a friend of mine staked his last card on a low value odd recently, it was the match between marseille and psg, his pick was over 1.5 in full time which had a possibility of 97 percent, he was certain about winning but he was surprised to see that they only scored one goal...even though you are sure it's still gambling

[laijsica]

I put more money on those bets because I know I can win those games. But when luck is not in our favor, 100% sure bets cause us to lose. When the underdog team plays against the strong team, it is assumed that the strong team will win for sure but if the good team for that day loses to the opponent strategy, then you will also lose. You said that if you are at least 90% sure of winning, then is it a gamble. I think even if you are 99% sure that you will win the bet you can still lose so there is no such thing as a sure bet in gambling.

Yeah, you are right because the situation can change anytime so we should understand that there are no 100% sure bets. We may lose even if our analysis suggests we can win easily so we need to avoid feeling confident in gambling. That is because we never know if we really win from our analysis or if we lose.

The underdog team can win against the strong team and we know about it. We see many times that happens in many sports, so we need to be careful placing our bets and not put a lot of money in the bet because the chance of losing will be there.

If you still risk your money, you need to realize the chance of loss. So you can accept whatever will happen later.

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?

Having the belief that you are very certain about the game you stake also makes you a gambler, the same thing as the person who stakes and loses.

There's a certain point an expert gambler can reach that any game being staked by him will definitely enter; that's what we call belief in risk. Quite alright, no one stakes to lose; however, some gamblers are just so lucky all the time. I knew of a person that within a week, if he staked like 20 games at that period, like 15 games would luckily enter. Overconfidence and too much expectations in gambling kill a lot.

Still a gambling, Even it is 99% you are still gambling because that 1% you are missing can be the reaso to lose the game.
As long as it is not 100% we are still gambling and hoping to win.  As long as we have some amount to bet and waiting for a bigger comback we are gambling.
Just like in NBA with 20+ lead with OKC vs Indiana that was more than 90% chance of winning having in 3rd Q. but INDIANA won the game.
