Gambling's okay as long as you keep winning?

[JoyceBTC]

Is gambling okay as long as you keep winning? An interesting take here by a gambler guy in the subway 58 years of gambling, argues that gambling was okay as long as you keep on winning.
I mean, for sure, it's okay if you keep on winning, right? But can we keep on winning? In the end, he ended up saying about the fun and enjoyment, which I think is a denial, he knows that gambling was bad.

No one can be sure if they will keep on winning, in gambling it either you win or loose, but nevertheless there are professional gamblers who luck is always on their side most times, but not possible to keep on winning forever, which is very rare.
The most important thing to know in gambling is to gamble responsibly, gamble with what you can afford to loose, stop chasing loses, to avoid regrets in the end.
No one can ever be too lucky in gambling, that’s why it better to just enjoy it for the entertainment rather than using gambling as a business or way of making money.

There is a common parebles that our people usually says " he who wants to fight should be ready to receive the blow" meaning if gambling and winning is okay then wait for the loses then you would understand that winning is never that okay till you faces the opposite of it that is losses. There are people who has never won since they started gambling and whenever they win it seems to be their happiest day of their life, this is directly to those who keeps believing on gambling to make ends meet.

There's certainly nothing wrong with consistently winning, but the question now is, is gambling designed solely to give gamblers free money? Who would give away money for free without any risk? Absolutely not.
This means you can't gain anything without sacrificing something. There's always a downside to the upside. Winning consistently in gambling is impossible unless you're a bookie, the owner of the casino itself.

the problem with this is that there is no such thing as continues winnings, there is a chance that there are lots of loses , but some gamblers do some technique where they try to bet small then make a bigger bet, although this is not a guarantee win, its okay to continue as long as profits are being kept or there is a part that are save, expert gambler does this playing only the profit and capital are keep safe, most of them does this strategy, but those who are newbie totally gamble all and lose it at one time.

The fact is that no one can continue winning forever, everyone has to face losses at some point. So, whether someone is experiencing losses or winning, if they are gambling for fun, it can still be enjoyable.the main reason some people feels so bad when experiencing losses is that they are gambling with more than they can afford to lose. Therefore, winning should not be the reason someone believes gambling is okay, because it is impossible for anyone to keep winning in the long run without experiencing losses.In fact winning in gambling is largely depend on luck.

I don't see anything wrong with gambling if you are winning and making profits from it, it's only becomes bad and frustrating when you gamble as if your life depends on it and at the end of the day you keep loosing, yet you won't take a break from it and be losing money here and there trying to chase looses in other to recoup all you have lost which is not possible in gambling because the more you chase to recover the more you are open to more looses and you end up being depressed and frustrated at it, so it's perfectly fine if you bet and win consistently.

But on the other hand there's no way one can be consistently winning no matter how knowledgeable you are with selecting games there must be a time you loose but majority of it should be winnings and if that's the case then gambling is not entirely bad because you are winning back your money, so I agree with the aged Man.

That’s a very controversial claim, and the information is very vague!
If we’re talking about card games like poker, it’s possible that something like that could happen… Although I still find it hard to believe
But if we’re talking about classic games of chance based on random events-I DON’T BELIEVE such a situation is possible! Because it contradicts the theory of probability.

believing that you will make your ends meet through gambling itself is a fallacy. It is not the best way to think about gambling. It is a poor mindset towards gambling and it can cause a bigger gambling problems because that is a pure running away from the reality. Gambling is two sides. Wins and Losses. If a gambler does not acknowledge the both and in fact pay attention to the losses as high possibility of it occurring, then the person will just be living in their own dreams. Gambling is very difficult to do, we should not even whitewash it so as a gambler prepare your mind for the worse but work hard for the best.

Have you ever seen where they call those wining huge money in gambling an addicts? No is only those that are lower in gambling we call addicted gamblers. Winning makes you look like a smart and responsible gambler.

To stay wining in gambling in very rare, in fact is just few people that win always in gambling not because of their experience because they are very lucky gambler,  they play lesser odds and huge sum of stake.  That's the only way you can stay wining in gambling.

This way of playing is safer, but staying disciplined with it is not easy. Many players still get tempted to keep raising their bets once the profit goes past the target they set, instead of stopping and taking it out.
So besides the strategy of betting small first then bigger, maybe what matters more is knowing how to stop at the right time, whether winning or losing.

The greatest sin is to deceive oneself and think of gambling as a business rather than a pastime. While winning is great, it is not always going to happen and losing streaks are bound to happen for every gambler. It's just focusing on the positive side of things. It is important to have realistic expectations and set a budget. And to be aware that losses are part of the game. Financial targets must originate in the job or investment. And gambling must be with money that can be lost. This attitude helps to avoid failure and gambling irresponsibly.

Gambling is never bad as long as the money you lose is your own and completely spare, its your own money to spend on whatever you want.   The idea you aren't allowed to spend it is ridiculous, where it becomes bad at all is spending cash you cant lose.  Anyone who presumes they'll win is setting themself on a road to a world of pain, the mistake is within assuming you get back the cash you spend.

All gamblers do have the mindset to make money and I have not seen anyone that will proudly admit that they are gambling for the fun only and not to make profits from their gambling. We mostly spend cash on gambling also when we have so much money and the plan is not to exhaust the money but to make money also. It is not as easy as we may think to make money everytime from gambling.
There are gamblers that are suffering and have been unfortunate when it comes to anything that is related to gambling.

What's your take on this?

Yeah he is right that gambling is good when you are winning but it is impossible as in many games of gambling there are many factors first of all luck factor as luck works in majority of the games. Secondly there is a house edge where odds works against the bettor and mathematically in the long run it is impossible to beat the casino owner or any owner of online betting apps . I also noted that when people loss a lot they will say they did gambling for fun i don't understand how a person gives a free money to someone and call it fun. What i realize is no matter what they say or what they call it like fun or something but deep down they always hope they will win.

Even though I get your point, I would say that logically, someone who has gambled for years and never won anything significant shouldn't be happy after getting a big win because it is probably just a small recovery of what they have lost so far, because if you have been gambling regularly for years, you must have lost a significant amount by now, and that can only be recovered if you hit a very big jackpot that gives you a life-changing amount, but if you are only getting big wins maybe like 5000x or 10000x or something, especially if you are not a high-roller and hit that win with a big bet, then you should just take that as a recovery, but still, one can enjoy the money if they have won it and now have the money in hand because they have lost more than that but not at once, but now they have it at once.

Talking about the topic itself or the title, I don't think any person who is in their right senses would ever expect to only keep winning from gambling, because if you have the ability to think rationally and understand logic, then you should know that gambling is not a one-way road where you can only head towards success and there is no possibility of failure at all, because gambling is literally based on a person's luck, and you can't expect someone to be lucky at all times, so you should obviously expect losses as well as wins from gambling.

I don’t have that kind of perspective. Addicts focus more on the negative impacts shown, not whether you win big or small.
You also have to consider the risks of betting; smaller odds don’t necessarily guarantee you’ll win the bet. Likewise, increasing your bet actually means you’re taking on a bigger risk.
Nothing is certain in gambling, so just enjoy it however you choose to play.

Very correct, the first reason why most persons gamble is solely for profits, that is why one can say that gambling is good if he is winning, top gamble losers won’t concur to the fact that gambling is good. Though in my opinion apart from the aim of making profits people still gamble for the fun, gambling gives the gambler that sense of participation, for example if you gamble on a particularly game it increases your interest on that game more than usual and trust me some people enjoy that feeling.

Who likes to lose their bets ? Ofcourse gambling is great when you keep on winning.
But is it the actual truth ? No right. Most of the times we lose money instead.
There are times when we win huge bets but we only lose quite often.
So I don't think we can keep on winning because winning streaks very rare.

[Comeacross]

What's your take on this?

Gambling is okay even if you're losing. It doesn't matter if you're winning or losing, what matter is you taking control of gambling and not allowing gambling to take control of you. Going by the idea shared in the video, it means gambling is never OK because there is no way you keep winning. Gamble with amount you can afford to lose, don't let gambling interfere with your important activities. Gambling can still be bad for you even if you're winning but you're addicted.

I don't like low odds at all because I had a bad experience when I bet on Argentina in this World Cup, which was supposed to beat Cape Verde in regular time, but it didn't happen. It seemed like an easy money, but I was wrong, so I'm going to think much better about upcoming bets, such as the Argentina-Spain final, where I decided not to bet even though Spain looks like a slight favorite. And so far I can't really answer the question of whether I would have a good attitude towards gambling if I were winning all the time, because I haven't experienced it. I have a lot more losses, especially lately.

That pattern might not guarantee winning. In fact, it has not been, but one thing about it is that the amount the gambler will possibly be losing in the long run and when winning comes it's easier to cover the loss quickly than someone who has been staking high and losing at the same time. Another thing with staking small is that the money budgeted for gambling can be used in a long run and there is more chance you can get lucky before it run out.
