Am not lucky, I make my own luck!

I am not lucky, I make my own luck

I viewed the declaration on a friend status after winning his sports bet tonight in the first games of the first leg of the round of 16 Champions League games that have being concluded today. And I didn't think to ask him what could have given him the confidence to make the bold declaration. Could it be a new strategy he has discovered that has being pulling in winnings for him, what do you all think can make a gambler so bold in making such statement in an activity like gambling that winning outcomes are predominantly of luck not approach nor experience.

Let share thoughts.

When I saw the topic of this thread I immediately got excited that somebody wants to share with us how he makes his own luck only to see  the content that it was just a question to all of us. As far as I know there is no how any gambler can create their own luck in gambling because he or she doesn't control anything in gambling, the only thing that you control in gambling is your money and time. It is fine to have positive mindset about winning in gambling, you can have high confidence in your ability to analyze games but none are enough to give you a sure win. I think your friend is a confident bettor but about making his own luck I seriously doubt it, if he's sincere with you the bold statement is to make him feel confident. I hope he uses amount that he can afford to loose.

Many people believe that luck is the main thing that decide whether you will loss or win. But when someone says "I'm not lucky, I make my own luck" this quote has different meaning. most gamblers are experienced because they have gamble for long time which helps them understand how some games works, even when luck is involved, experience helps gamblers avoid mistakes, not just in gambling even our daily lives, that's why they say, "experience is the best teacher" when you have experience you cadon'tn avoid some risky bets and choose better options, but always have this at the back of your mind that gambling is not 100% predictable, even when you practice the best strategy it can't guarantee stable wining. Just the way football surprises people anytime, that's how gambling is, so one need to apply discipline. When gambler says he make his own luck, he means that he believes in the method his using.

The phrase I make my own luck is just a motivation for gamblers. In the world of gambling, you cannot create your own luck because the outcomes are unpredictable. Experienced gamblers know about gambling strategies and financial management, but they don't have power over the outcome of games. It is common for gamblers to devise different means to encourage themselves because many of them are losing more than they gain from gambling.

Almost all gamblers put in their best in gambling since nobody wants to lose money. But in the end, only those who are lucky will end up making gains.

For a moment I almost thought “who’s this ignorant fella?” Just after reading the subject of the thread, not until after getting to read the body of the thread and got a better understanding of what the thread is talking about.

Well, it’s true that some people who actually manage to win often make the mistake of believing that it was due to their own skills and strategies and whenever I see such a person, I only ask them this one question, why is it that this same skill can’t make them win consistently if they’re just that good and none of them have been able to give me a reasonable answer.

[Orpichukwu]

That guy in question is a sports bettor, like you already know, and instead of being among those who rely only on luck, he depends on his strategies. He believes the amount of hard work he can put into his prediction will determine the result he will get. He doesn't need luck to determine that for him; that's his belief, and he doesn't see luck as a working factor for him.

And I didn't think to ask him what could have given him the confidence to make the bold declaration. Could it be a new strategy he has discovered that has being pulling in winnings for him, what do you all think can make a gambler so bold in making such statement in an activity like gambling that winning outcomes are predominantly of luck not approach nor experience.

I don't know what is on the guys mind but I think he must had dropped that post only to hype himself. You also never can tell if he is one of those influencers who claims to have good gaming formats with 100℅ guaranteed.

Well... Irregular gamblers or those players who rarely place bets because they only bets on favourites especially when the big team is playing with the underdog that by stats, you can be convinced that the big team must win based on their strengths and underdog teams weakness or inexperience performance in the game.

But still, this states of datas does not seem reliable where a bettor would boast he does not rely his wins wby luck but by his self skills.

[Ruttoshi]

I think that you should have asked your friend OP, because everyone has their own reasons for making statements they feel motivates them. I don't think that there's any gambling strategy that can fetch consistent win in the long run because gambling isn't an investment or a money making machine.

Over confidence is the road to more losses which is why a gambler shouldn't be too confidence in himself so that, he doesn't use more than what he can afford to lose when placing his bet. Don't be deceived by what people says about gambling because you will experience the opposite.

I think that in many cases such things come actually from the excitement of the moment of victory.  When someone wins a bet it is natural to believe that they could have understood the match better or made better decisions than others, especially in sports. It is from that confidence they express that people say I am not lucky, I make my own luck. However the reality in my opinion is a little mixed, In some cases the experience or analysis may have use, but in places like gambling there always is uncertainty. So if someone wins it is not right to give all the credit to their strategy nor is it right to blame everything on luck, But at the end the percentage of luck is higher.

I can correlate that statement with things which do not have anything to do with gambling, actually. People who make their own luck or who are able to build their own fortune, are people who focuses their time working, studying or taking care of their health. The kind of stuff which helps to guarantee one's own good future.

In reality, there is almost no chance to get a reliable strategy on betting on sports. It would be equivalent to find a money printing machine, honestly...

I think your friend simply put that on his social media or whatever, because he wanted to show off how much of a professional gambler he allegedly is.

is there an approach to be applied in gambling that can guaranty winning ? i doubt
hence i would say that you should, maybe direct the question to that your friend and then come share the answer with us on this thread so we can all learn and apply the strategy if there is any such strategy.
from my end i think that your friend have made some series of losses and couldn't hold back his joy as maybe his game wet according to his predictions but that's  not enough reason to say gambling isn't a game of luck

My taught about this is that he obviously has discovered a new strategy that is giving him the luck to win more frequently, and he may have also built the discipline needed to follow up with such and that too has helped and so he has all the confidence to saying that, but then this will not mean he will not loose some of his bets some times but understanding that it is part of the game and there are times he will get back on winning that will outnumber the lost makes the difference for him in this and so he can be confidence to say he makes his own luck and not that he waits to het lucky, its about building systems and strategies that works and gives you the advantage over the casino for the longest.

The only thing a gambler can confidently do is use their skills and knowledge of the game to increase their chances of winning, since gambling is a game of chance after all. But the whole idea of they can control luck is a completely flawed mentality, one that may potentially trap the gambler in a kind of loop that becomes difficult to break out from overtime. When the idea that a person can control their luck sinks into a gamblers mind, and maybe they even get lucky a few times, when they eventually run out of luck, they’ll still keep on pushing, sometimes not because of the wins but simply to prove a point that they are indeed in control of their own fate in gambling.

I would still separate the creation of a profitable strategy, improving it, and improving yourself as someone who's moving toward professionalism. Luck itself is a separate issue, because something you can't influence—you can't improve it, or influence it to happen more often. Professionals do a lot to improve everything else, which is why they become professionals. They understand gambling better than many players. It's just that if luck doesn't last long, you'll go on a losing streak. Pros know that a strategy is still profitable, and you shouldn't tilt, but just wait a little while for it to pass.

Ask him to repeat same success and when he fails, remind him that status

What I see is that a guy luckily won several bets, named himself as gambling god and started teaching others how to live right. Just wait till this cocky dude get in series of losses and troubles, and ask about why his created luck did not help him. I always laugh at such guys who turn into I-know-it-better after first success. Gambling has beaten thousands of such "life-winners".

That is why we should refuse most informations we see from the internet, someone might see that statement and decided to use it as a motivation, I hope nobody does because gambling don't work that way.

It is either the guy is being playful after winning the bet, if he is serious, why did he take this long to realize a perfect strategy that assures him a steady win and how long has he lasted with the strategy, and what has been the outcome, a further update on his betting story, he must incur losses that the statement will appear ridiculous.

[hyudien]

I think that statement is just meant to be encouraging, and that's a good thing. Creating your own luck doesn't mean you already know the pattern for beating the bookie. Perhaps what it means is creating your own luck by constantly analyzing before betting, meaning not betting randomly, as there's still a chance of winning if you apply skill.

I am actually very suspicious about this matter that if he is unlucky in terms of gambling then how will he change his luck. Here of course my question would be that is he a black magician who can make his luck better by doing magic?

I think people who are overconfident like this, especially in gambling, lose most of the time and gradually become addicted. I will tell you to watch his next bet results. I will definitely see some replies where he is saying or trying to defend his loss with some other illogical argument.

[Yorubek]

From my point of view, gambling is a game of luck, if our luck is not good then it is never possible to win through gambling. However, if we gamble through research then the chances of losing money can be reduced to some extent. However, no matter how much research we do and bet, we have to believe that luck plays a big role in winning in gambling. I give a lot of importance to my own research along with luck, as a result of which we can protect ourselves from additional losses. I never believe that you can create your own luck through gambling.

If you are really curious, you can ask him how he can make his own luck.  If it is not just a statement, he, being your friend, can share the secret to you. After all you are no this competitor or opponent.  By then, you can judge yourself whether the person can really make his own luck or not.

As for me, I look at luck as something uncontrollable; science can explain it, but cannot create it.  So I am also interested how can your friend create his own luck.  I hope you can get the answer from him about how he can create his luck and share it in this thread.

[passwordnow]

That is me when I am in a winning streak. I will say that it is me and not my luck. 
But isn't that an issue? because for me it's not if someone is telling everybody that they've won a lot and that's because of their skills. It's a fact that we've got individual gambling skills and if they say that they've won it due to that, I won't complain because I'm also doing that when my bets become fortunate.

[HustleZ]

I am not lucky, I make my own luck

Hahaha, well he surely would've found a reason to say such a bold statement. Or it might just be because of a dopamine pump after winning a bet. It's really common for gamblers to feel lucky and confident but it only lasts till their first loss. Then the whole confidence fades away and they repeatedly gamble in search of any return of that luck. And that mid period where they lose is the phase where they either blow their savings or learn to gamble effectively/responsibly. But that only a few % of users are able to do and mostly people tend to blow their accounts. So gambling shouldn't be something that makes us make such confident and bold statements as it lasts only for a while.

[shawonngp]

I believe that luck plays a big role in winning at gambling, only lucky people can win big at gambling, we can only gamble by researching and nothing more, we have to depend on luck to win. Only lucky gamblers can win repeatedly at gambling. If your friend does not believe in luck, that is his personal matter, but from my point of view it is never possible to win at gambling without luck. Where the results of gambling are completely predictable, it is never possible for you to create your own luck.

I totally agree that luck plays a big role in gambling, but can you win solely by relying on luck? I don't think you can always win just by luck if you don't have your own strategies. Of course, hard work is needed, and if your luck works, then a big win is possible. For example, if someone randomly places a bet without doing any research, the chances of winning are very low. First of all, you have to pick a good team, especially in sports gambling, and then you can rely on luck. If you place the wrong bet, you won't win more than one by luck alone.
