Am not lucky, I make my own luck!

[Smartprofit]

In my opinion, this is pride... And pride (in Christianity), as we know, is a mortal sin!🙋

In my opinion, a person cannot create their own luck. Such statements seem very presumptuous.

A person can increase their probability of winning (for example, the probability of winning was 48 percent, now it's 56 percent). Yes, it's possible.💁

Your friend (who won a sports bet in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 32) probably did just that. I think he developed his own betting strategy that increases the probability of winning his sports bets. I really hope this wasn't just a fluke. Because if so, he's in for a big disappointment in the future (he's way too overconfident).🤔

[Accardo]

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.

It's considerate to think that way for a winning opportunity that somehow worked out, gamers do have a way of assuming that they're responsible for any wins, which is true, because they made it possible, had the player not wagered or placed his instincts on a positive side of winning, the money wouldn't have been won. However, the statement seems a little bit unnecessary yet personal, as it wouldn't work for somebody else, who has begun to reason in such a manner, strategies work differently, so players are eligible to say, think, or conclude over what they feel like brought about the positive result they're enjoying right now.

In a game of luck, the outcome is beyond your control. You can never make your own luck in a casino playing dice, roulette, slots, and the like. You can only cross your fingers.

It's a bit different with sports betting, but you still can't make your own luck. However, you can deepen your analyses, improve your monitoring of updates and developments, and so on, thereby possibly improving your bets. But that's not luck, either.

Casino games and house edge cannot create their own luck, except for the random winnings that casinos provide.

In sports betting, it relies on team analysis to see the squad in it, when some of the main players are injured, it usually affects the game later, so sports betting can be won like creating your own opportunities then choose small odds, but it all doesn't fully work sometimes with odds of 1.1x only bettors can fail.

In gambling, you can't be overconfident, because those players are punished more than others. They think they can win big, but at some point, a long losing streak inevitably occurs, which tests their resilience, and those players who think it won't happen to them simply won't be able to handle it. And losing is essential; otherwise, we'll simply burn out, so I wouldn't be overconfident, because it can easily backfire. It's better to think about how to cope with difficult moments, and they inevitably come in every player's career.

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.

In football betting, I don't think that we mostly rely on luck; in fact, it entirely depends on analysis and also predictions that arise after we look at the statistics. So it's natural for someone to say that they create their own luck because their bets are according to their own choices.

There are many types of betting that I often do, casino or slots, but I always think that football gambling is different; it is purely the result of the luck we create ourselves.

Those were just words spoken in a moment of happiness, when feeling happy about a recent victory. To be honest, your friend didn't create his own luck, rather luck was on his side, which is why his confidence kept growing. But you can ask him whether his gambling has been profitable since he started gambling until now. I dare say it will definitely result in losses in the long run.

In sports betting, we can only increase our chances of winning by analyzing (statistics, the players who will compete, etc.). Even then, there is still no guarantee of winning, the rest depends on luck.

[Davidvictorson]

You adding skill makes it not dependent fully on luck and I don't consider that as being lucky. Taking the time to do research before gambling is not luck, and winning a bet tonight especially after placing bet on Liverpool and Barcelona must be remarkable and I won't say such a person is lucky.

Dude, you may want to slowly read and comprehend what I wrote. I do understand your point but for the sake of clarity, and in the context of the OP, creating your own luck in gambling is higher when you are skilled in a casino that the outcome depends upon it. And again, most of these types of games in my estimation are casino games that such as poker, blackjack. Most of the times your opponent is another individual and not the casino.

[Shadiq]

Fate can never be determined. You can predict future results using your own experience, but you cannot control them. If you look at the matches yesterday, you will understand, did your friend win the Newcastle vs Barcelona match? Were you sure about the Galatasaray vs Liverpool match?

If your friend can make his own luck, then advise him to use all his resources in betting. Through this advice, you will be able to verify its truth. It is a big mistake to think that you are the creator of luck by winning a few things, helping luck does not mean creating luck.

Yes, there's nothing wrong if the winners are not going to give credit to luck. But we know that deep inside for each of us, we all want to get lucky because that will reflect to our wins. We wouldn't mind if others are telling that to themselves and other people, it's none of our business if they say that it is them who's the main reason why they've won. Because that's even true, without them gambling won't even make them win.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

The only thing that can make your friend say such boldly is probably due to the fact that he put in a lot of time and effort into making sure he does proper analysis and does not rely on luck to win. But having such confidence is rare even if you are good at making predictions, getting overconfident can be very dangerous.

This is also a good point to look at it from which that probably could have been the reason why he said so but that was also accompanied by the excitement that filled his heart after realizing that the game was successful just like he said it was going to be. Even with how he claim to make his own luck to happen, why can't he also make his own luck to happen in other unsuccessful bets that he has had before that one, unless he is also claiming that all his bet are always successful.

It’s always important to approach gambling with the right mindset, at least this is what keeps you safe when you gamble, and the idea that gamblers are the ones who entirely influence their own victories in gambling is nothing but a huge misconception and a misleading one at that, because newbie and inexperienced gamblers who see this could be misled. This is exactly what makes some online punter’s influence very dangerous because this is the very mentality that they possess and even pass it on to others, so that people can actually see them like professionals and experts and follow them, and they even succeed as some people start following them blindly.

[DPHOR]

Well in gambling everyone has to confess positively about their games whatever it may be they have that belief that they will definitely win the game although that does not mean that they knows they inner ways of the game or how the games are being played or maneuvered but what just happened is that they had that strong belief that they would win thus; this belief is not in anywhere or any way subjected to their winning but is a kind of linked to their prediction, focused on their review and, prediction towards all their matches or games they have selected and as I know, anyone who understands how the games are being run and also understand the history their past matches and their present or their past five matches they will definitely know there are heading that is why it is good to read head to head of a game before making their booking so that they will not in any way run out of luck.

[Nothingtodo]

You may be able to make your own luck in other things, but in gambling you cannot make your own luck, rather it depends on an uncertain probability and luck. If a gambler could make his own luck, he would never lose at gambling. In other words, a gambler cannot change his own luck, so he cannot win any bet in gambling as he wishes.
For example, you studied but it is not enough for good results, so you may not get good results in the first exam, but later if you work hard then you can make your own luck. But in the case of gambling, the opposite of real life is that no matter how hard you work in gambling, you cannot change your own luck.

Let share thoughts.

I think your friend only shares his happiness when he wins. If he is able to win consecutively and change his life, maybe then you will acknowledge that he succeeded in creating his own luck. But from your own point of view, is your friend capable of doing that? We know that we can reduce the risk of loss in sports betting, but not the luck.

[AVE5]

The only way to create your own luck is through hard work, giving your best at what you do and providing value to people and society. Creating luck in betting or gambling, however, is a complete contradiction, as it's impossible to predict anything or be certain of results. So, I think it's more of your friend's fallacy than anything else.

Indeed a fallacy which I don't even think the benefits of hardworking insights on the hopeful ness to create your own luck in gambling is still unbelievable to me because, if it's about how hard work pays, many bettors whom had invested lot of their resources such as times in studying the logics in their gambling journeys would had become pro bettors who should have no lost game records all through their master or professional gambling experiences.
But it's unfortunate that no gambler has ever proven it as the Ops friend's is bold of saying he creates his luck of winning instead of acknowledging the uncertainty.

[Richbased]

Anyone can say any confident statement when they are successful in anything, not only about gambling. There was a day i made a selection of many events that i wanted to bet on, then i started removing some of them that i didn't get enough conviction if they will play according to how i predicted them and i actually won that bet. Did you know how i felt that day? i felt like i was smart, i didn't even have any feeling of luck because of the process it took me to make those right selections. So let's assume i made a post about it at that particular time, did you think that i will say that i was lucky to win? i will even hype myself that am an expert in predictions. However, your friend was just lucky to win so he should stop that narrative of saying he make his own luck. I know that hard work and technical know-how can help people to achieve something but that doesn't mean you shouldn't embrace the natural occurrence of luck especially in gambling that we know it's a game of chance.

[Muba20]

In my opinion, a gambler will not win only by luck, but often the gambler's wise judgment and his strategy can bring him win in gambling. Every gambler should bet as much as he can afford to lose. It is natural for those who bet according to these rules to increase their self-confidence. Along with good analytical skill, if they have self-confidence, their chances of winning their bet increase to a great extent. Maybe that friend was self-confident before placing the bet and he became more confident because the result of the bet was in his favor. Being self-confident is good, but it may not work always for everyone. I don't think I'll ever be sure of winning when it comes to betting, but it's good to have confidence.

[xenomorfo]

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.

Sure you can make a fortune, but not through gambling. I always say this because people have the perception that they can win a lot of money through gambling and that it's easy. The fact is that if we all won the casino would close. So those who win are very few people.

[xLays]

But you still cannot change the fact that most of the time it is about luck. For example, imagine you bet on a player prop under points. Let’s say it is a player you cannot imagine scoring 30 points (You bet under 30 pts). Then suddenly in the first half he already has 29 points, and luck favors you because the player gets injured. Would you consider that luck, or would you still say you created that luck yourself?
So for me, in that kind of situation, you did not create the luck. It is simply what actually happened. That is why I believe in saying that everything that happens is already written.

People who say that are blaming bad luck for their losses though, they will never state that i lost because i am shit at this.
Talking credit for winning when you have a lucky streak and saying it's all about your skills is very understandable and emotional thing to do, as you would want to believe you are not gambling, but doing wise investments. It happens to best of us, especially in trading at bull run, everyone is suddenly a genius.

Call me pessimistic, but there's no new strategies and everything is being tried countless times. If there was a winning strategy, bookmakers or casinos wouldn't afford to exist.
