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.

In my opinion, creating your own luck is like working hard or continuously trying to find the point where we get luck and it can also be said that it is like a way to chase luck, but as luck should not be something that should be pursued in my opinion, so creating your own luck is less convincing unless you try hard. Basically, luck is something that will happen by itself and even if we try hard it will not guarantee it, and what makes them dare to make decisions like this is a strong sense of self-confidence, so they still think that luck can be obtained by trying hard.

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.

I'm sports betting, yes. Most people forget that they still need to carefully analyse the game to be able to successfully determine who is actually going to win a game and who is going to lose it and right now it's not just about winning or losing anymore, there are a lot of other parameters involved which also tends to increase a person's chances of winning but you can not just be going for the most unlikely odd because it's bigger and then telling yourself that your luck will carry you, that kind of mindset will lose that person a lot of money.

I believe he has resolved to stand by his decision after doing his hard work on his research. If you have done your best in trying to put your games together, you should take the outcome the way it comes and in his case, having a winning streak means he has taken the right decision without confusing himself or allowing friends to push him out of what he has decided. There is a part of confidence to our decision we take when we gamble, you have to believe that you have taken the right step if you have analysed well and whatever outcome gives you joy and as your luck.

[Somegory]

The cocky gambler is all I see, people have their own strategy that works for them, I accept this but what I will not accept is you winning and not losing, I won't copy others strategy because I believe in none.

There is no strategy that works forever, and some times you will mistook lucks for working strategy, thinking it's your will that makes you win, in gambling protecting your hardearned money is the best strategy.

I make my own luck not on gambling because that's suicide mission, I am not going to bet on the future when I am not a seer or a god, when skills meet hardworking you get proper results, if hardworking is combined with skill you become formidable.

This is better than diverting all that energy into gambling.

There is no doubt that we can create our own luck by doing research and finding the best strategies to get results but we should also know that as far gambling is concerned you cannot absolutely create your own luck. You can create chances to position yourself closer to success so that at the right moment you will stand a better chance to get lucky, I think that is the least we can do to create our own lucks. No matter how confident you feel about winning in gambling remember that you cannot control luck so it's better to play safe and use money that you can afford to loose.

[Doan9269]

We can decide to make every necessary commitment to gambling and see that this also shows from the outcome we have each time we are on it, we should also count every opportunity  seen from gambling as luck and not by our efforts, because such may not be prevented by us when the time to lose also comes, so those that are found in this category often claim their expertise each time they gamble and have a winning opportunity, but they wouldn't take any effort to also say it in public when they have series of losses upon every attempt they made.

In life,just like in gambling,mindset matters.A lot of people would wonder and question his level of confidence,and saying this can intimidate or motivate others to boost their confidence too.This impression can make his fellow gamblers assume he knows something they don't;feels like he's operating in another level of insight and strategy beyond their reach.

I don't know but this seems to be very effective method to me or at least when I have a positive mindset it seems that the universe is conspiring on me to win. Just last night, I said that I will just play with certain money, so I deposit some and lose, all, and then again.

But I shift my mindset to be positive and I feel confident that in my third deposit I will win. And that's what happen to me, I will able to get back what I have lost and then double my capital. Withdraw all and never play again that night.

There is nothing wrong with his level of confidence; it is sports betting we are talking about and it requires some level of skill and knowledge of the game. The bettor who won may have dedicated his time to learning and studying a few pattern with the teams involved and was able to arrive at the choices he made. This is not slot game where skill is not neccessary, a bettor can influence his win even though luck still has a role to play here.

The bettor is simply acknowledging his contributions towards that win. Even if he lost the bet, the fact still remains that he didn't gamble blindly, he put in some efforts!

And most likely he will feel great even after losing, because at least knows that he did his bet to analyze the game if you are a sports bettor and you see your money fighting but just feel short on taking that win. For luck base games, it's the rush that we feel whenever we are playing. And when we are confident, then again, maybe we feel some sense of pride that we push ourselves to the limit and go all-in. And most gamblers here are just looking for the dopamine effect but learn how to control our emotions when we have lost our money playing slots. That is the very definition of gambling.

I think the reason for your friend's winning declaration is a combination of factors. Your friend must be very happy for recording that win, is also possible that he has discovered a new strategy that is working for him. However, no gambler wins everytime and no strategy is 100% sure. There are gamblers who declares their bets on their status and some of them have good number of followers, sometimes they don't only declare wins but also predicted games for their followers to get access to them and play if they wish. Remember, bear in mind that you may not also make thesame profit as the person declaring his bet because the amount of money you win will also depend on your staking power.
Be very careful following people who declare their bet on their status because you might be lured to gamble on their bet think they win everytime.

Betting on sports is both easy or difficult for many aspect. You will analysis the two teams before the game starts and know their statistics but the results will not always be in your favour because in some matches the underdog team plays well and wins. Some gamblers forget that the statistics they see can be proven wrong. The team that is statistically more likely to win can lose and all your calculations can be reversed. And this is the unexpected result of gambling where your skill is evaluated very little.

I am not lucky, I make my own luck

Said the gambler, once again borrowing money from his neighbor.

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.

Every gambler begins to feel like a "king" as soon as he wins something.

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

I'll give you a hint: the feeling that he is in control of the situation in the casino and that this win is certainly his personal merit (because he is such a wonderful gambler), and not the result of simple luck \ chance.

Could it be a new strategy he has discovered that has being pulling in winnings for him,

What betting strategies can there be when the outcome depends on chance?

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.

Pride (illusion) for achieving a result that, in fact, didn't depend on his personal qualities at all. His merit is pressing the "button".

Exactly my thoughts too. Luck is not something you chase because that will be like chasing what’s on the thin air, something intangible and something you cannot see. Gambling is a thing of fun and winning money in gambling is entirely driven by luck. Luck is not something you can see or compete against, luck is something that happens unplanned and unexpectedly. This is what is domiciled in gambling and in fact that makes gambling more interesting and unique. So if you say you are going to chase luck, it will just invariably means that you are trying to chase your losses or wins which can lead to addiction subconsciously.

Randomness is ubiquitous in most aspects of life, and neglecting it is just a proof of ignorance, if you ask me, but especially in sports bets, not to talk about gambling. I would warn him that if he continues seeking luck this way, most probably he will end losing more than what he won in the sports bet that night.

Anyway, I understand that his declaration was just a sign of his euphoria after winning, and it is normal, but it shouldn't last for too long, or bad results will eventually do it, if he believes too much on his skills and risks beyond all logic.

This is why nobody should claim to not be lucky, saying that you won a bet entirely because of your analytical skills is just delusional, you are good with your analysis, nobody is arguing with you on that but as far as gambling is concerned your analysis can never be 100% guaranteed so with all that skill in the bag a person still needs to be lucky to win a bet, once your lucky plays out in your favour you will win, provided that your analysis is legit.

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.

Hard work do mostly pay in conventional career pursuit aspect and that's why we hear people say preparation meets opportunity. Such preparation is the crops of hard work that have being put towards the expectation of an opportunity. But definitely not it works in the gambling world, you don't win huge or hit a jackpot by way of hardwork and strategies developed, because if it was so then a lot of gamblers would have being in more profits than they're losing, reason being that every gambler at each point of making his bets does it with some strategy and analysis.

It's worthless chasing luck since it's not within our grasp, just as we can't catch up with chasing our losses but land at precarious end, same would be the result for when a gambler tends to chase luck. We can't chase what we can't predict when or not it would be in our favour.

If OP is true and if that's the case, then I would have to say that friend would lose. Everyone would, there is no strategy that wins you are right on that, even if someone got lucky and won with something, they can try 100 more times and may lose, it's gambling and there is a reason why house always wins. So these people who think that they figured something out, are just tricking themselves into losing money and doing casinos job for them instead.

If you won a big amount, the best thing you can do is to withdraw and hope that it gets better for you because otherwise it is not going to be good at all, it will end badly. I personally hope that we can do a fine job on the long term and not be bothered and just lose very low amount, that's all I care, not the wins.

In betting, such confidence mostly comes from a just concluded winning streak, a new method they have believe in, or simply the joy of a large win. Some gamblers have the feeling that studying teams, statistics, and form brings down the luck and gives them an edge, even if chance yet plays a huge role. Such statements mostly shows mindset more than reality. Gambling usually is filled with uncertainty, therefore while strategy and experience is helpful with better decisions, results are not completely within the control of a gambler.

Gambling is base on luck but there are people who claim they have strategy to win, some go as far as studying past record or analysis and they come up with some reasonable prediction that has been confirmed for many years, and this has captivated the mind of some people to believe that even if there might be loses, the chances may be slim. My dad is one gambler that is confident in his prediction. He wins more but loses as well but his courage and confident is top notch. So I don't doubt if people announce their victory even before the end of the game.
