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.

Gambling is a game of luck but it is wise to better your luck with wisdom, because most people would choose to play impossible odds over little odds that can make your luck come easier.

I know it is never accurate for any game but it is easier to minimize the risk by betting analytical and not blindly. Maybe a strategy could actually help with the accuracy of the game but that is not always a guarantee.

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.

Gamblers are like that when they start winning, they tend to think that they have found the formula for success in gambling, they will keep believing in that until they are busted and slapped by the hard truth that you can win in gambling, but you can't make it a cash cow.
There are a few gamblers who have made a fortune from gambling, its hardwork and a combination of luck. You cannot downplay luck as a factor because it's part of every game.

What strategy could your friend have discovered? I don't think there could be a magic formula known only to him and no one else.

This is simply overconfidence. Perhaps because he won the bet this time, he thought he'd discovered a strategy that made him certain he was in control of his own luck. I'm sure he's mistaken, and he'll realize his error and the falseness of this confidence with his first loss.

The more you know in sports betting, the luckier you get because the game is definitely governed by some statistics which if properly studied could improve the performance of a bettor. The bold declaration by the bettor is correct because relying on luck cannot make a winner, it is in proper study, analysis and proper management that makes a winner. There are just too many parameters that are within the control of the player which makes the statement valid.

This is your friend fooling himself.  If anyone can just create their own luck, then no one will be losing on gambling, nor getting rejected on a job interview, or failing a school entrance despite the hard work done because the set of questionnaires is not aligned with what the person studied.


If I can guess it right, your friend is someone who always wanted to brag to get the spotlight.  If yes, then his action is justified that it is all talk and nothing serious about it.

Any body can make a declaration like this for whatever reason and it won't mean anything other than a show off, I can decide to make this very same declaration and post on my status too for my followers to see, in the end, it doesn't change any damn thing, luck will still take it course in every bet I place..

On the other hand though, one might want to say that this is simply a declaration of faith, many of us know faith to be the believing and declaration of things not seen, there is another proper way to define this but I believe we are not in a class room and not taking an examination..
When some one post something like the one you shared, I believe they are just trying to believe in something they actually do not see or even feel, in the end, we all know that no body can actually make their own luck, if this was possible to do, I believe there won't be poor people in the world because every body will learn how to make their own luck so they too can be rich.

Simply put sportsbetting is based more on probability and I don't think that's a bad thing because even though the odds are there and some of the favorites do win these matches at the end of the day  we are the ones trying to create our own luck with the probability of our bets.

Even though betting on sportsbetting does require more in depth analysis before we actually bet but still luck must be considered because after all luck cannot be separated in gambling regardless of casino games or sportsbetting in the end luck still has control in terms of the results we will get.

[Makus]

Creating your own luck is a different of confidence and it's actually possible to achieve when it comes to gambling, but I think this is just over confidence because there is no way you can always make this happen. You can achieve this I'm gambling seldomly but you cannot always win by having a good strategy, no matter skillful you are there are times that you would need to get lucky. But we all know that the more knowledge you have on a particular game you would have more chances of winning but it still doesn't change the fact that anything can happen

Well said.
Some analysts in the sport bets whose knowledge had earned them profits in the long term will still claim that they don't experience looses with their bets because what the bettor is indirectly saying is that he wins all his bets.
Or I don't know if he lost experience should be seem as accidental or he just decided to loose the bet because I know that he will loose even though betting skills is a superb, he can not always win.

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.

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.

They're not giving harm to anybody unless someone gets triggered if other gamblers always tell that they've won because they're good. And not because that luck is with them, there's no need to be too hurtful with those words. We're all gamblers and we know that someone is just so happy to tell that they've won and on top of that, ask how much they've lost already before they've won that money.

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.

Oh, I get your point better, although I think this likely would be on sport games from the fact the Op saw the post the same night of an annoying UEFA  game for bettors. Yea casino games against individuals rather than an house or system have lesser luck factor than others. In fact games between teams or individuals are less luck dependent than against a system, skill is a often a major factor.

When someone says  “I make my own luck”  when talking about gambling,  I see it as more of a statement of confidence,  rather than a logical statement. In gambling activities, such as sports betting, luck is almost always going to be a factor,  no matter how much of a professional you think you are.  No matter how great a gambler you think you are,  no one is ever going to be able to fully control the outcome of a game.

That said,  I think some gamblers think this way about luck due to the way they place their bets. Someone who takes their time to analyze the games, stays patient,  and who is capable of controlling their bankroll is more likely going to make more better decisions than someone who places bets for no reason. In the long run this kind of behavior can lead to the perception of “making your own luck”  when in reality it is the gambler doing everything to avoid making a bad decision.

When it comes to gambling I think the most important thing is to always be realistic,  and to avoid setting yourself up for a loss. While it can be a good thing to have confidence,  it is important not to lose sight of the  outcome of the bet,  as it can go in your favor or it can go against you.  This is how  gambling works.

Such level of confidence is what make many people to lose in gambling, this is why we often preach that no matter the level of your strategy and how consistently it makes your win, you shouldn't over rely on it, I have seen people taking up loans just to stake it on a bet that their beliefs it will end in winning for them, but along the lines, their also discover that such bet can lead to losing huge amount that could be impossible for the gambler to recover From.

[Anayochukwu]

I think he's not serious about the statement, like others have already said I think he only made the statement because of over excitement. Although I wouldn't conclude yet because gamblers are not the same there are gamblers who are always like that they always see themselves as people that have the possible power over the game and that's very wrong because nothing last forever, especially when you are trying to do it as something that you are perfect it will definitely turn against you if you don't mind yourself and gamble responsible.

I remember I read a quote which states that ”luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity..”

I mean, it may sound cliche but it absolutely makes sense especially if you apply it on instances where you can control your fate to a certain degree. In gambling, however, I think it somehow is relevant but not as much given the presence of odds that really is out of your control.

While this may be the case, still, gambling is all about luck and you have to make the most out of everything. When you have the opportunity of winning huge, stop, call it a day, spend that money, and consider yourself lucky!

[Hypnosis00]

You can't create your luck, and nobody does. In fact, we never know when it comes. But if you say you create your own strategies, that is believable, and that is the only thing we can do.

Luck is a key factor in winning. However, it doesn't mean we can assume it will stay long or that you already have it, because you will know the next round will not be yours anymore. Believe me or not, even expert gamblers can't have it every time. Unfortunately, those with great skill no longer rely on it. Instead, they believe in their capabilities.

Take a screenshot and wait him to ask you some loan then show that screenshot Eventually he will lost his luck and he will knock your door trust me its a common thing

We can choose to follow strategies or simply depend on luck. There's always this thing called first luck and it's mostly for newbies. They have the potential to make themselves known in the space with ravaging luck. Not just any random luck but luck that will pull one out for the trenches, you feel me. Luck doesn't come like that. It's very selective and if it locates you, common you know what time it is. Huge profits will definitely come your way. Sport betting is not an easy activity and only wise gamblers can earn up reasonable amounts. We're in the system and already got acquainted with the whole thing.

[Japinat]

If you are lucky, you will make the most with gambling, because gambling is all about luck and chances, even in sports betting where everyone claimed that its a matter of skills and strategies.

However, luck does not favor us every time we bet, and so losses happen. But if we decide to find or make our own luck by not being greedy, I think that would still be possible. After all, we all have individual's luck, sometimes we just have to chase for it not in a selfish and greedy way, but in a very positive and valuable way.

~snip~ And I didn't think to ask him what could have given him the confidence to make the bold declaration. ~snip~

I guess, it’s called being confident in his own strategy whether it’s a new strategy or not, it clearly makes him very confident and able to make a bold declaration. In my opinion, it’s not about making your own luck, but about making the best decision based on what you have such like experience, confidence, a clear mindset, information, and so on. If I were in his position, I wouldn’t make a bold declaration, Instead, I would pray and hope that my bet wins.
