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

[o48o]

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.

Well that would depend on the odds and continuity of those changes, now wouldn't it? If that 90% winning change would happen on every bet with 1.5 odds, you can just keep on playing and you are statistically having insanely bigger edge to the bookmaker.

And if you would call that gambling, then casinos and bookmakers are gambling against you as well. Because bookmakers are also trusting on winning edge and calculating their odds for that.

This is how some people will think and stake their money on a game or bet and lose. They may think that they would win and just lose because they are overconfident of their decisions.

Or maybe you can explain what you mean better and also let us know the kind of bet. But I have not seen a better that is 100% guaranteed before.

No matter how confident one is, gambling will always be gambling and one can't change the fact.
Gambling is a game of fun or entertainment and one should practice healthy gambling lifestyle that will make not to spend all their money finish, because the earlier people understand that gambling is not a place where one can make money the better for them.

You put it well. It's true that the idea that gambling isn't a way to make money is the most accurate, as this way there won't be any major losses. But we can't hide the fact that some people believe they can win and continue gambling, even though the end result is loss. This still happens to most players, and if you yourself enjoy gambling, you've probably experienced it yourself.
This healthy gambling only applies to a small percentage of players, as the majority are unhealthy.

Gambling is indeed not a place to make money, but having the hope that something can come out of it is also not a bad thing. On the other hand, anything you pay more to enjoy should have a chance of getting some back, even if it's considered to be a bonus. The only place I hold something against some gamblers is when they consider it to be their major source of income; it will ruin them and make them spend the little they have without getting any significant thing out of it.

Gambling is of different categories in which an individual is deeply involved. There are those who only gamble for fun and there are also those who gamble to make ends meets. Whichever way it is I still believe that people are making money from gambling in as much as people are also losing money from it. The habit of seeing gambling as a major source of income is one of the addiction to gambling.

[lizarder]

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?

I'm not sure high confidence can increase our betting odds, especially regarding the likelihood of winning. Some people place bets with absolute confidence, based on their analysis. But sometimes, those predictions don't pan out as they hoped, and unfortunately, they end up betting large amounts on a single match.

We might participate in the event, but I'd still limit my bets to my usual amount and never increase them beyond my usual amount. That's my way of betting, and it might differ from some people who take a different approach with more confidence because they think their chances are higher.

You are absolutely right, but it's going to be a difficult thing for a gambler to enjoy what they are doing when they are not getting enough, ad this will surely lead to addiction because we as human being has this selfish and greedy attitude that one won't be satisfied with what they are getting from gambling no matter how small it is (most people though). That is why there are still eager to keep gambling even though they know they know till will ruin them, which is why it's better to practice healthy gambling lifestyle early as it will prevent them from unnecessary pressure or pitfalls from gambling.

[passwordnow]

It is if you wager, you're free to call it as gambling if you have assurance that you're going to win. Don't bet and even if you have assurance of winning, that's not gambling because you didn't take any risk and even your money isn't put with that. Gambling requires betting and risking and so, unsure or sure with the bets that you'll do, it's gambling and no person can change that fact if you've proven to put money into betting.

[Grace333]

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.

Exactly, gambling is gambling bro, no matter how much confidence you carry into it. Even if you feel 99% sure, that tiny 1% is what makes it risky in the first place...  BTW, what actually makes you so sure of winning the game? Because if there was really a guaranteed outcome, then it stops being gambling and just turns into a straight up certainty, which we both know does not exist in gambling..

[Accardo]

Is there anything like that exist? because there's no one will run a business if they give 90% chances of winning for their gamblers.

But I think that that of set up can still be called as gambling. Since even if you stated that they have great chance to win there are still 10% that can change their current situation and make them a loser. This is provably the dream situation of the gambler since for sure there are lots of people there are tired to have 50% chance or lower to win on the games of chance they playing.

That would be a kind of gambling where the house losses. They wouldn't want it this way, since they pay the huge paycheck to players, the house will deliberately run out of funds. If bankruptcy could get to them with the house edge intact, what more a 90% chance of winning, no way will it be possible to run a casino business.

And do you know that it's easier for someone who is solely gambling for money to get addicted to gambling than someone who is gambling for another purpose? Not as if someone who is gambling for fun can't get addicted, but when you are looking for money, you can easily start chasing profit, and when it doesn't come, you will start chasing your losses, and the higher the amount, the harder it becomes to recover, which is how deep the gambler will be getting into gambling.

Bruh, as long as there is still that tiny chance things could go the other way, it is still gambling. That still uncertainty, no matter how small, is what separates gambling from a sure thing. If it was truly hundred percent certain, then it would not even be called gambling anymore.

So yeah, you can feel confident, you can even feel almost sure, but the fact that you are staking something of value and waiting on an uncertain result makes it gambling..

[NurseHub]

Yes, it's gambling. Gambling is you staking money in expectations to win. As long as you have staked some amount, you are already gambling. This is another fun part of gambling; it doesn't matter the percentage of you being sure of the game. Even if it's 99%, it can turn at the end of the game.

Of course there's a level of certainty in even gambling to win a game he predicts. It's a normal feeling for gamblers. But it still depends on the game; it might not be how you predict it at the end, but some gamblers can get lucky at the end.

Technically there are instances where you are very sure if the game and you put your money on it just expecting to win, that's still a gamble. It reminds me of that story of a particular gambler that got so sure of a match and he put millions on 1.07 odd hoping to make an easy profit, for the fact that he put his money into it even if he was hundred percent sure of the game it was gambling. Turns out he lost the bet

It is not right to be confident about something that is not in your control. No matter how well the players of your supported team play, it is not right to be overconfident about this matter because the game can turn at any time and the players of the opposing team can also suddenly defeat the team you support. Let's say that 90% of the 100% is certain that you can win but due to the remaining 10% probability you lose and there is always evidence of this happening. It is better not to spend your hard-earned money in a place where you can lose it.

That is why I say, there is no sure game no matter the odds that comes out of it and how much you know the players and the team whether they are your favourite and you understand them better so you think it's sure yet it's not a sure game, for females like me I know as a nurse that there are hormonal imbalance in a woman that can change the outcome of a match, how they feel can affect how they play but for men I don't really know but that can make a sure game becomes so unsure.

Of course. Infact ehn anything that has to do with you betting your funds on something or someone is called gambling, there is shortcut or two-ways about it. And gambling as we all know has its own risk, there is not such thing as a sure game or whatnot, that is why it is Advisable that one gambles with the money he/she can afford to lose.

[Victorybit1]

Even if you think you are sure of the outcome as long as you wagered an amount of money then it is a gamble. There is always a chance of losing no matter how sure that bet might be. Let's take sports as an example, if a particular team is supposed to win and you are sure based on your research there are some little factors that can affect the outcome of the game, so even if it is certain it is still risky

[STT]

Ive heard of people playing with 99% odds and going ahead as if it couldn't lose because most of the time it never would.  Unfortunately, play it one too many times and you find out even amazing odds in your favor can lose the amount gambled and for these odds its usually a large amount.  
   I used to bet on under dog games, most times I lost but it was fine only bet a bit anyway but more often then should have been true it did pay and it worked out it was worth it because people are too confident of the win just because its the big favorite, so the odds for that can be bad in sports bets anyhow.

That's one thing I used to tell people that there is nothing like sure odds. If there is something like that I don't think if there will be any casino that will still be operating. Gambling is a game of chance and with this in mind we should know that the chances of winning and losing is same or equal.
