Who are you in gambling (winner or loser)?

[Somegory]

I am not a gambler yet, in short I am even scared of gambling for my own personal reason, but due to few research I have done it seems like there are so many losers in gambling, more than ninety percent of gamblers are losers.

The problem is none of them are ever going to quit on day after they won big amount of money, as far as they will keep coming back there is a higher chance that they will lose more than they have ever won.

It might not happen in a go, the gradual gambling activities can slowly make them lose everything that they have ever won in the past.

By the time you read this thread, what is your status: a winner (in profit) or a loser (in deficit)?

Emphatically, I'm a winner in gambling, and I always appreciate seeing questions like this because it helps in self-reflection and evaluation. I managed to stay positive because I don't take gambling seriously in such a way that could trigger the desperation for money.

Also, I admit that the system at which casino games play cannot be hacked with any strategy, which makes me lean towards sports betting. This has been the major reason why I stayed in profit, because my choice doesn't solely rely on luck (as in casino games), but also on my right efforts.

[Dunamisx]

I don't see myself as a loser in gambling because I'm not doing that to earn money and make a living by gambling, instead, I make use of my time wisely gambling because I love to do so. I'm much more comfortable with the time spent; it's engaged me and also makes me feel enthusiastic about having fun. I'm not a loser because I don't win my games, but I'm being fulfilled because I like what I'm doing, and this is a win to me.

[Kelward]

A direct answer to the question on your topic would be 'loses, like most members here who are open about their experiences we lose most often than what we win. You might wonder why we continue to gamble when we're not making profit and the answer for me is that I gamble for fun so I don't take note of my progress whether I'm making profit because I know the obvious. Initially I thought that I might get rich through gambling if I'm dedicated to it but it didn't work as planned so I'm all about entertaining myself with gambling. I think that nothing good can come out of tracking our gambling wins and losses, just gamble with small amounts and enjoy yourself, take wins and move on from loses.

Or, due to the approximate ratio of losses to wins, you've earned and lost approximately nothing. That is, at zero.

In this poll, I don't mean the number of wins and losses, but rather how much you earned or lost (expressed in money).

If we’re being honest, the vast majority of gamblers fall into the deficit category over time, because the house edge guarantees long term profit for the casino while short term winners absolutely exist, but sustaining consistent financial profit from gambling requires either exceptional discipline, strategy, or sheer luck that rarely lasts. That’s why many threads like this often reveal a hard truth. Gambling is designed for entertainment first, and anyone treating it as income is statistically swimming against the tide. Prolly Im on the losing side all in all but the experience totally enjoyed. (Cause most of the time I gamblenfor relaxation on casino)

Diversionary pleasures in gambling gives a healthy outlook to deal with the statistical facts of gambling lines. It is a prudent action by all to realise that the house will benefit in the system. Relaxation in the casino game is more satisfying than the aspiration of non-financial gains. This thinking is used to keep us sane mentally and not overambitious. We should treat gambling as a form of relaxation so that we can escape the bankruptcy.

I will be honest with you that I'm a winner, nothing more than that. Ever since I started playing gambling I have never seen myself being this lucky before, it was absolutely the best year for me.

I won bets almost every weekend because that is when I normally gamble, I don't gamble everyday and I'm pretty sure that I would get more winnings before the year ends because I know how to follow them up, so I would boldly say that I'm get it correctly without losing much.

So with your reply, will assume that you gamble for fun and entertainment and in nut shell you don’t get moved by the outcome of your gambling activity instead you enjoyed the fun and the entertainment in it. Well but even if you gamble for entertainment and fun but at least hope you apply risk management and risk control to your staking power because even with playing for fun and entertainment some losses might triggers our emotions and cause regrets.

 Well for me I don’t gamble that much and I prefer myself like that, it not that I don’t know how to gamble but I always fall in victim of those that don’t get lucky when it comes to gambling. Anytime I gamble it always results into loss and on the contrary I don’t gamble for fun so I just avoid gambling and stay far away from it.

[Bitinity]

It is hard to say my actual situation because I do not make a self-report for my gambling activity. There were many times when I lose but there were also some time when I won decent amount. The main important thing for me is as long as my gambling activity is not affecting me financially and emotionally, I will take profit as a bonus while I take loss as something that I need to pay for my gambling activity.

[red4slash]

I think the category of winners or losers should not be based only on profit and loss but also how self-control we have and how gambling activities they do.

The category of winners and losers eventually becomes diverse depending on the situation faced for me because maybe for a moment when we lose in gambling that we do then it will be considered a loser but for those who lose for the long term just because they can not control themselves over their gambling activities it can also be another condition.

So that these winners and losers will continue to exist for all gamblers because at one moment we can be winners and at another moment we can be losers depending on the situation.

[Rockstarguy]

So far as gambling is concerned, you can't be a complete loser or a complete winner. Though one of the outcomes will be more than the other, in gambling you just have to know that you are both a loser and a winner because gambling is all about winning and losing.

One thing we need to pay much attention to is that if one continues to be a loser in gambling for a long time, it is advisable to take a break. Losses must be something that you can afford to lose, and when losses in gambling are always big, it is important to approach gambling with caution.

[maydna]

I vote "I gamble for fun and don't count the money" but if in total, I may lose compare to the win.

But that will not be a problem because I just gamble for fun and limiting my money. I know the risks playing gambling are losing money so I only need to limits my money and prevents the big lose.

I don't count how much I lose already but that still in under control.

A large-time windfall on a weekend bet brings about sufficient happiness to us. Win streak is indeed a great thing, however, the betting market always has something in store to all of us. The only solution is to be very vigilant in securing ourselves against the danger of incurring huge, unexpected losses. One would be thankful of current success but should not forget the fact that the probability of winning always varies among us.

[Finestream]

The only true currency is good times.

I like that a majority of the people so far have indicated that they gamble for fun and not money. It shows a mature audience that understands the name of the game.

Exactly. The amount of losses we have lost are nothing compared to the fun and entertainment that we have gained.

This is also a reflection that we are still gambling responsibly in the sense that we don't chase our losses nor wins, because we are here not for money alone but also to seek fun and relaxation, and to socialize with other people, strangers or not.

However, regardless if we fall as losers or winners in gambling, as long as we experienced fun and entertainment, I think that alone is already an undeniable gain for us.

Since I don't track my gambling activities but I can do that from the amount I assign for my gambling budget weekly. If I also consider how much I have won, I can confidently tell you that I am at loss at this point. Though, that is not a problem because I know that any money I assign to gambling is gone since it's a consumable activity.

Yes, having gambling budget is very good. It can be used to calculate the amount you spend on gambling. I have an amount of money that I am using to gamble every week, this can easily be used to calculate the money that I am spending on gambling every week. But there are sometimes that I would win and not fund my gambling account the following week which can make the calculation difficult but from my rough estimation, I am losing in gambling.

I’m happy for you that you’re consistently winning, and I wish you continued luck moving forward.As for me, it varies. There are periods when I’m on a winning streak, and there are also times when I lose several times in a row. Usually, after a series of losses like that, I stop playing for a while.The most important thing is not to lose your common sense and to remember that gambling can end in different ways.

[Ronsbit]

I gamble for fun, but we are all humans, and at some point, sometimes I do a rundown of my expenses on gambling, and it happens that I lose more than I win, and in the real sense, nobody would feel alright with it, but with fact that we see gambling as fun, that reduces the pressure of wanting to recover losses or to gamble for profit because we have instilled discipline to our gambling life so that makes it feasible to have a gambling budget of amount we can afford to lose.

[Agbe]

The number of gamblers on the losing side would be higher than the number at the winning side. We can't predict the number from hour sitting rooms but the prediction is that casino is designed for the house to win at all time but only the lucky gamblers wins and it is not foe everyone to win at all time. I am at the losing side of the gambling act.

[Hazink]

I gamble mostly for fun, but I still care about the money I win and will win. What I don't do is calculate my winning rate and loss to combine how much has been made from it. If I'm to go with the overall rating I will say I have lost more than I have ever won from gambling I don't see the impact because I don't go in with large sum all at once, I have also used gambling winning to sort out bills in the past which was on my neck if not for that winning I could have end up explaining myself when it's a situation money can just solve.

[Swordsoffreedom]

We can be quite certain that the voters who have chosen that they gamble for fun and do not count the money are certainly included with the voters who have deficits because of losses heheeheheh.

In any case, it will not be very shocking if all of the gamblers in this forum are on a deficit or will be on a deficit. We are only gambling for fun and we do not count the money, correct?

I have been involved in gambling for a long time. And my personal opinion is that most gamblers face losses. Especially those who play games that are completely dependent on luck. Like  slot machines or roulette. They  are completely dependent on luck. If we win, we can win a large amount. But most of the time we face losses.

And that is why I have  distanced myself from this type of  gambling. I am now more interested in sports betting. It is not that I do not lose money. But if you count at the end  of the week , I have faced losses very rarely. Because I am very careful in sports betting. I do not bet on all matches. Even if the return is small, I want to avoid losses . Also , sports betting is not just for gambling. I love sports, and I enjoy it.
