Am not lucky, I make my own luck!

[Fivestar4everMVP]

‎Your friend is yet to understand that winning in gambling is not all about his skill but luck, and he has been overconfident of himself.
‎He didn't recover any new strategy, because no strategy can give straight wins only. I believe he will be calm when he loses or just find one excuse to justify his loss. The only time he can make this declaration is by working hard and being creative with his work, not by winning from gambling. Then he can boldly say this. Professional gamblers are still losing their games, it's a matter of time before he will understand better.

Exactly, its indeed only a matter of time before he will understand better, over confidence have destroyed a lot of gamblers, we are told to believe and speak whatever we want out of life into being and some people think that things like this work in gambling, they don't realise that if it does work, no gambler will be poor because I've never meet a gambler before whose prayer and believe isnt to win, every body wants to win their games including those gambling for fun too, like I will always say that there is no fun in losing money in the name of gambling for fun and this is some thing a lot of peoe people out there believe too..

When someone is gambling and he or she luckily finds himself or herself in a long winning streak, they begin to think that they are smarter than the rest of other gamblers who are gambling and losing money, they begin to think they have a special kind of grace in gambling, this could give birth to pride which will make the say things they shouldn't say, but then, it's with time before they will finally realize that their winning isn't because they are special but simply because they were lucky at that very moment.

Can't think of any other way in detail to explain it in more simple terms than I already have, except you're not reading it properly to grab the explanation. Every strategy is gotten by analysis and when it tends to be giving positive results within the few times of applying it, some persons just as I shared in the op, would assume they have found the best working strategy that puts them in charge of their luck to winning their bets predictions. Yet, all these can give good results but in a short run and that's why it can't be said to be guaranteed about how long any working gambling strategy can go on.

In the short term I might agree although sometimes luck can't be separated. Some time ago, I placed a bet on soccer and it went very well for four matches, but then I lost the next match. Some people might consider this the best strategy based on analysis and applying some patterns that they think are much better, but others might not. In gambling, we might see a pattern that works perfectly in certain games or bets, but not always can be successful simultaneously.

In certain contexts, confidence might be good because it can increase desire and opportunities. But from my personal experience, I'm not entirely sure whether it works in gambling. Previously, I thought that sometimes being lucky enough to win a bet, but when applied repeatedly, it didn't achieve the same wins as before.

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.

Lots of people say such  things like this when they win a little bit 😅 then it seems like they are winning cause of their own skills or strategy . But the reality is different , luck always plays a big role in gambling. After a while the planing works, confidence increases, then people think they make their own luck. This is the first mistakes they made. Then when bad times come, it becomes clear that they don't always have control. I think excitement and recent wins are more important behind bold talk. Maybe he is in the flow now, that's why he is feeling like that. But in the long run, everyone has to face ups and downs. So it's better to stay cool and not be overconfident.

If it was in slots maybe what you said would make sense but when we are talking about sportsbetting like the OP was referring to it might be debatable.
 
We know that in the end luck always has a big role here but on the one hand we also cannot rule out probablity and analysis because in the end. Sportsbetting is gambling that not only expects luck in it but needs foresight before we actually bet the money we have because like it or not we are required to do that.
 
So it will be quite reasonable when someone says that they create luck with the probabilities they get from the results of the analysis they do.

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.

I totally agree with you, that hard work, and consistency increases the chances of success in life. But when it comes to gambling, it's a different system entirely. The outcomes are majorly driven by probabilities which are designed to favour the house over time. There are ways to manage risk which are, controlling your emotions, knowing when to stop, and setting limit. So, in real life you can build your own luck through hard work and value creation, while in gambling the best approach is to learn how to manage risk, because those odds ain't designed for you to win regularly.

You would be having that temporary boost up when it comes to emotions and when it comes to mentality. You would eventually forget all of the loses you do have earlier at the moment that you will be winning up with the recent bet. The main thing that you do have in mind is that now you are already winning then you are thinking that it will happen consecutively and thinking that you can be able to recover the loses that you do have earlier on which its unlikely to happen. We do know on what gambling reality is, if you are being that too hopeful and optimistic towards gambling winning the it will make you desperate and once this do happen then it will be pushing you out into your limits specially on the money that you would be spending. People would be only to realize things when they are already on the tough situation specially when it comes to money.

I think the gambler used the wrong words instead of using the word strategy, creating luck to win is not possible rather creating strategy that can help win sounds right. Possibly the strategy used as the major source rather the gambler used luck. I don’t think anyone can create luck, winning base on strategy is totally different from luck, whenever the gambler in question encounters lose I imagine what he might say because obviously bragging about luck when gambling is unpredictable except from few experienced gamblers who create out winning chance and yet it’s not always 100% guarantee reason why luck is needed to get winning streak.

I think the gambler used the wrong words instead of using the word strategy, creating luck to win is not possible rather creating strategy that can help win sounds right.

Though, talking about luck and at the same time talking about strategy are rather incompatible definitions.
Strategy is about getting consistent results from one's choices, while luck cannot be controlled in any way, shape or form; with luck strategy does not matter at all, so there is no chance to "build" one's own luck by any action.

One needs to separate those two definitions and constructs in order to understand what gambling and betting are about and possible consequences on it.

Luck supercede strategy in gambling. Your strategy may be 100% perfect but if it go against luck, then the bet will lose. Just like you already said, luck can't be creates but luck may favour your predictions and strategy.

I believe you understand that gambling and real life results are two different things you do things over and over again to improve but when you are gambling the number of years or months you spent while gambling doesn't have anything to do with what you would become as a person or what you will achieve. You can't win it you are not lucky and no matter how much you try if the luck is not on your side you will be trying and keep losing money while the game house keeps expanding. Always make a calculated risk and when it is about gambling do not gamble expecting to win always.

I see gambling as a recreational activity and that should not make us want to gamble everytime when there are more important things we can involve ourselves that will make.lufw better for us. The life of a gambler is less serious than the reality they are meant to face to take care of what they need and other things to make lufe better.

And it's also more sound and comfortable for me to use either strategy that works but not add 100% to it, even if it's by assumption, as we already know that there is nothing like a 100% working pattern in gambling. Luck has its way and if there were ever a pattern which can guarantee 100% winning then luck will definitely be part of the things the person also rely on after his skill.

The outcome of gambling is dependent on probability. That is why the certainty of winning in gambling cannot be predicted. When someone controls their emotions, brings self-control within themselves and sets their own limits, they keep them away from big risks. Risk management reduces risk but does not guarantee winning. Risk management basically keeps risks under control but just because someone survives without losing much does not guarantee long-term profit. In different areas of real life, we can influence the outcome with our own skills, hard work and education but these things cannot control the outcome of gambling. Therefore, there is a difference between taking risks in gambling and taking risks in different areas of real life because risk in gambling does not create value but money moves from one medium to another.

That saying obviously means that someone doesn't trust luck, even in luck based games. So they are trying to take pride for their skills, which is something they believe to have, but actually it's not relevant factor.
So when someone is doing that, he isn't bragging of their luck but their alleged skills.

In reality "creating luck" or creating strategy doesn't have an effect when it comes to luck based games.

The truth is that we need a strategy to be lucky in gambling. That is why you may have a strategy in gambling that might not even work for you, while another person using the same strategy might be lucky enough to win. What we need to understand is that no matter the strategy we have, strategies in gambling are not certain.

However, if you are lucky, then it means the strategy works well. Nothing guarantees a win in gambling, not even the best strategy, but even so, we still need a strategy to win in gambling by luck.

[Bright0515]

Overconfidence is indeed a killer, I'm not saying that it is impossible to increase the chances of winning but being confident that he created his own luck shows that he is being too cocky. One thing you need to understand about gambling is that having strategy can increase the chances of winning but it does not guarantee profit. Before you get ahead of yourself as a gambler it important to know that winning most times is based on luck, even when you think that you are gambling based on skills you might be winning based on random luck

Strategy is definitely necessary, that's true, but we shouldn't be overly dependent on any strategy in gambling. The results are random, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, that's why we shouldn't be dependent on them. Everything is governed by luck, so we should always keep ourselves away from uncontrolled things. In the end, luck plays a big role, and that's why gambling should never be considered a reliable source of income.

This can indeed happen, but it's also important to understand that winning is based on skill, not luck. For example, someone who doesn't understand this simply plays with great faith that they'll succeed, and they'll likely become very upset and may even fall into depression and tilt, which will simply consume them. When I was winning, I realized things were going too well and wasn't overly positive, but then a bad streak hit and I started losing. Then I started cutting my losses and took a long break to reflect. After that, I even started playing with micro-stakes because I realized that I was content to have fun without having to think about complex strategies. I simply set aside a small amount of money each month for the game.

There is a need for research to win in gambling, but I think luck plays a big role in winning. No matter how many strategies I use to gamble, I cannot predict the outcome of gambling in advance, we do not know the exact information about the future, it is not possible for anyone to know. Through research, a lot of information is known about a match, through which which team can win or which team can lose, it can only be guessed, nothing more. To win, you have to depend on luck, so I think you have to be lucky to win big while gambling.
