Winning first and not stopping, luck or skill?

[abaeze]

When I first bet, I won $50 and was very happy, but later, when I kept betting in the hope of winning more, I lost. Then, a friend of mine bet double than me and won.

Most people say that they gamble for fun, but at some point, it turns out that even though they played for fun at first, they became addicted to gambling and later they are the ones trying to get out of this addiction. Is it the winning at first and then losing and trying to improve their skills after losing and then losing or winning again that keeps people from not getting out of gambling addiction, or is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.

It's sad that you could not hold onto your money and winning. You need to be more responsible on gambling. I hope you learnt a lessons today. The more you play the more you'll learn.

I think you should not judge most people based on your experience, in this world you will find both catagory people who gambles and who don't even touch gambling . So it's you who you wanna hangout with. If it we're me, first winning would trigger me to withdraw my funds instantly. It's my first rule , hit and cashout. Your last part , yeah you would defenetly gain or built a skill if you play more.

or is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.

There is nothing to develop that will make a gambler not to lose. In fact , many gamblers lose more than they win. So losing and winning is part of the game and that is why when you want to stop gambling you may win again and that encourages you to play again. Then after you lose again you want to stop.

It takes a strong will to stop yourself from gambling especially if you are addicted to it. That's why some people say there is a spirit behind gambling but what I believe is that you need discipline to gamble or to stop gambling. Whichever way, it is the decision you make that will stand for you.

Because there's always unsure results in Gambling. It's not like trading that I'd you practice chart youll nailed it all a perfect good gains. From the word itself gambling, that's something like 50/50 when doing it. Yes it may sound that there's chance to gain on gambling but that would be depend on some strategy game or betting. But I'll tell you even they got that theres still uncertainty of not winning at all.

Gambling skill only help you to minimized the lose that may come to you. And skill only meet if you are gamble that can be analyzed such as sport, card. While slots, roulette, just a game of chance, your really need for this is your control. No way to make you save from lose in gambling even with your skill, it's depend on how luck you are too.

... is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.

You should learn first how to enjoy it, some people enjoys having more money than enjoying the game itself and that's where it turns to be an addiction. You should also be aware that gambling sites were made for people to lose as it is a business and in long run, no matter what you do, you'll always going to lose. There's no such thing as a skill to never lose, since there is a house edge and you can't beat that, although in sports betting, if you are good to analyze data and teams you can win, but there's no guarantee that you'll never lose, it wouldn't be called gambling if you're only winning.

You can develop skills such as bankroll management and personal skills to control your emotion and your desire to play more or earn more and be contented if you already in profit and enjoy your profit.

[rbynxx]

you will never lose again.

This got me thinking but I don't think that's a thing, you'll surely lose even if you think you'll not. It's really those first time that gets us, it goes with winning streak then after some bets you'll lose, that's probably a law of the universe lol. If you're playing game of chance it's definitely a luck but if you're playing with some statistics in mind that could have been some skills.

I once read about how betting sites work. They make you feel confident when you win $50 for the first time. There are articles that say this win triggers your brain to release dopamine, a chemical that makes you feel happy and want to repeat that sensation. Remember, each winning spin is the result of a predetermined spin. This condition will not affect the outcome of the next spin. When your friend wins, it is an illusion of bias that influences you. Because online casino creators have considered all of this, they have conducted research, so in reality, the winnings you make are just luck for you. Therefore, you should think rationally and logically to avoid getting more trapped in biases that make you suffer more. IMO

Winning first immediately after you start gambling is luck and not skill. The ability to learn how to control yourself is also a self-control skill. The reason why many get addicted is because of how they lack the ability to control their own greed and accept defeat. Instead of trying to beat the system, the more they try to prove they have better and improved skill, the more they will hook themselves with the game, which is a step towards getting addicted.

Same as the first lesson I got when I started gambling years ago, I won at first which draws me even more and on my second try I lost, I could have walked away but I continue because I felt maybe I would win the money I just lost back but another losses happened and that was how I kept losing every money till I have no more.

There was a time where I was prepared to gamble for fun for few hours because I quit because I have taken some weeks off without gambling, but on my first game I won some cool amount of money, I had to quit gambling for that day even though I have wanted to keep gambling for hours but the money I won won't make me keep going. The past experience I got as a beginner still stuck with me till this day, I have chosen to never look down on every win because it is an opportunity, seizing your win is a skill, this is the only skill you need in gambling. Many people find this hard to do because they can't help it.

There's no such thing as "never lose again" in gambling that exists, because eventually, you will gonna lose if you continue playing. Regardless if you're winning at first, if you continue, you will eventually end up empty handed. What makes people come back for gambling is that feeling that hitting a huge win or a jackpot is close, that it is within your reach, so you need to push on a little more. Until you realize, and everything is too late.
Gambling is supposed to be fun and not excessive, that's the only way you enjoy gambling without risking what you have.

That is the problem that leed to Gambling loses and addiction, The casino will allow you to win a big amount at the beginning of your gambling and this will make you think it's your day, and you will think you will win more after that first win, you will only end up chasing loses until you find out you have lost too much already.

Sometimes I wonder how people say they gamble for fun when we know everyone is looking for money. If Gambling was for fun what do people chase loses. Because from my own understanding people chase loses out of aggressiveness and that will leed to Gambling addiction. If not for money why would people keep losingimey and chasing loses and still keep on betting and betting when they are not wining?

How to develop skills in gambling, especially for slot games or other games? Because I see from the many people involved in it, there is almost no special method that can be carried out to develop skills, especially in slot games.
Who can guarantee that if you have the skills discussed, you won't lose again at gambling and how do you explain this problem?
Sometimes we are lucky enough to win in slot games and vice versa, we always lose in these games, there is always no certainty so what we can do is limit ourselves so that we don't get too addicted and perhaps what can be applied is how you can maintain a limit on the budget spent on these games.

It's called beginner's luck, and yes you will feel very happy winning the first time and you can say that it's easy money. I just see my friend recently, not close by still we talk from time to time. And suddenly she disappeared, but lately we have a talk and she admitted that she become addicted. Initially they had a party a couple months back and so they stayed in a hotel. And someone ask her if she can go down with them and play in the casino.

So that's how it started, small capital and then she won $1000 or more. And she tell to herself that it's very easy to make money out of it. But then when she play again, she lost that money and then she started to think to recover until she become addicted to it. What I'm telling is that that beginners luck is very dangerous as this could be the emotions that will let you think that is easy money and that you are going to be lucky and always win.

In gambling, 80% of luck and 20% of skill work. In the first case, a person starts gambling like you and in this way he becomes addicted to gambling after a while.

I can give you a real example, what happened to my father, when he was young, my father gambled once and he won a lot of money for the first time and he kept it and the next day he gambled again with all the money he won and some more money and he gambled all the money at once and he lost. After that, my father never gambled again he always kept himself from gambling. You are in the same situation now if you can quit gambling now then it will be very good for you and maybe you can have a beautiful life in the future.

That’s just the gambling cycle. I’ve been through the same thing when I was betting on Stake, playing roulette with around a $50 budget and ended up winning about $700. But of course, I kept playing and in the end I only had around $400 left, so I cashed out.

It really comes down to the gambler’s mindset. If someone treats gambling just like a fun activity, like playing a video game, they’re not gonna get addicted. They already know that winning or losing is totally normal. But gamblers who don’t have that mindset usually keep chasing the amounts they once won. They keep betting hoping to hit that win again, thinking they can somehow improve their skills, but in the end the losses just keep coming.

The reason it becomes hard is because... Once you have tasted the potential win from gambling, you will want more.. to you it's like free money .
Gambling companies know this that's why some of them cheat... They allow you have a win and then let you lose a bunch.. because you have tasted a win, your brain asks for more and that keeps you going.. they allow you win again and then make you lose another bunch... And so you are losing money while chasing losses. If from the onset, there has been no winning at all, it will be easier for you to stop because you just see it as losing money.. but since you had a win at the beginning you begin to see the potential wins you'll have in the future

That’s a normal experience, people call it beginner’s luck, but as they always say, you can’t beat the casino. So sooner or later you’ll lose. The only way to win is by conditioning your mind to limit your action for the day and just label it either a winning day or a losing day. That way you’ll still experience wins from time to time, even if your losses end up happening more often because that’s how the system works. At least it satisfies the habit a bit.

But the moment you get addicted, that’s a whole different story.

or is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.

Sports betting can be called a skill-based game, but the idea of never losing is impossible. No matter how good you are, losses will always be part of it.

[Ishicryptic]

I don't think that winning first and not stopping has anything to do with luck or skill, it has to do with character, if you are greedy to keep winning and you are not lucky enough to sustain it you will lose everything. Every gambler needs to learn self control because gambling can be addictive, you won't know when you start to over gamble and begin to chase loses. Determine how much you intend to gamble with before starting and try to stick by the decision and tell yourself that if you win you are going to take it. Without going into gambling prepared your emotions will be directing you and most times it's direction is to chase for big wins.

Too much of everything is this life is bad, the same goes to gambling. You need to have a sense of responsibility and know when to stop regardless of how good you've gotten, no matter how many skills and tricks you've learn. Otherwise, if you continue on placing bets, especially when you are either chasing wins or loses, you're gonna end up depleting your wallet, and become addicted.
In my opinion, the root cause of gambling addiction is not being able to control your emotions. Bad decisions typically happens when you give in to your emotions. Wether you're feeling euphoric when you've got a winning streak or having a ton of desperation and chasing loses, controlling those emotions and thinking rationally is I think the hardest skill to learn in gambling.
