The Accidental Win

[Dump3er]

I want to paint a scenario. I got a friend that won without any research. Just went ahead to pick random teams and placed a bet on them. And another friend that did a lot of research, spent hours doing it before he picked the team he would like to bet on. At the end of the day, my  friend that did so much research lost. Gambling is all about luck. Nothing more. But there are instances were proper research gets you wins. That's why I call it luck.

The information you provided is just not helpful at all. You said that one friend picked randomly, the other one didn't. Hmm, hard to believe because what does random even mean here? If your friend "randomly" picked teams, did he pick that Curacao beats Ivory Coast? Or that Iraq beats Senegal? It seems he made the right picks and even if he thinks he picked teams randomly, he may still have been influenced by whatever information he got via the Internet or on TV or whatever. If he truly picked random teams, it would mean he got away with accidentally picking huge underdogs. But it seems he magically picked all the right teams then? Doesn't sound like random to me.

Gambling is luck, and luck is gambling, you cannot separate the two, research and analysis is not a must to win your games, if you're lucky you win and if not, even with all researches and timing, you continue losing. I think my luckiest win is $150 or thereabout. Maybe the person in question is having a beginner luck just like I had in my early days of gambling, I hope he/she doesn't think it is always that way and start gambling irresponsibly.

Gambling and luck are not the same thing although you will need luck if you are gambling but you can become lucky even though you are not gambling that is why I say they are not the same thing. Beginners luck happens to almost everyone and I think at a particular time I used to think it is a trap being set by the casino to make new gamblers addicted to gambling since if they notice they can win easily then they will continue to gamble but with time I understood it is just beginners luck and it happens in everything not only gambling.

I have had so many big wins and I won't lie some of them are accidental as I was not planning for such win but there are some wins that I had that I planned for it and it happened the way I wanted and such I won't call accidentally although I know I needed a little bit of luck to win that amount of money. $150 can be considered a big amount of win for some people but there are some gamblers that that is just the money they use for staking on games as I see a lot of big gamblers that spend more than $1,000 to $10,000 gambling frequently.

That's so true, man. I have seen the same thing happen way too many times. One guy studies stats all day, checks injuries, form, head 2 head records ends up losing. Another guy just picks random teams because he likes their jerseys or names and somehow wins big. It really makes you wonder if all that research is even worth it. Honestly, I think gambling is 90% luck and maybe 10% knowledge. Research can help a little, but at the end of the day, the ball bounces however it wants. You can do everything right and still lose or do nothing and hit jackpot.

[Onyeeze]

Doing research doesn't guarantee profit, this is why it is important to not overthink the options when gambling, always learn to keep it simple as much as you can. There is no point in treating gambling like it is some kind of rocket science, don't think too much on the options even though you are trying to increase the chances of winning. At the end of the day even after doing all your analysis you still require luck to win the game. Don't put in too much efforts into analysis and also don't always assume you can win by getting lucky.

see sometimes when you make a deep research in gambling that can help you to know what to bet, I believe that gambling winning is by luck, but you're seriousness and the observations in the previous matches can make you to win but I cannot assure you that making a research can give you 100% chance of winning, but it can only give you a clue for you to know what you are doing and also know some certain team and cannot will stand each other based on their performance and the players that is involved in any of the team

[LUCKMCFLY]

I believe that the research or analysis we conduct on the two teams about to play is merely to increase our chances of winning and build confidence in one of the teams. But aside from all that, luck remains the dominant factor, it plays a crucial role in betting. That doesn’t mean you should keep placing bets at random, though. If you keep doing that, you’re sure to suffer more losses in the long run, because you might keep betting on weaker teams and forcing your luck there.

Accidental victories are just that; we can't just expect to have victories of that kind. It's something that can happen because things occur by chance, but in these matters of sports betting, we can't be hoping to win by luck. In sports betting, we must appeal to reason, to logic, to our conscience. If we don't have that, we're in trouble, we're lost. It's better then to go to a casino and gamble, which is all just pure luck.

If only one ali bet and he managed to win it was indeed luck, try to invite your friends back with a few bets made or not just one match that is bet on, for example you give a challenge to 10 bets that must be taken, and you try to compare more wins on him who does research and bets relying on analysis or your friend who bets by random selection by relying entirely on luck, from the results of it all you will see who has more wins, if your friend who only chooses randomly is more successful, then it can be stated that your argument is correct that luck is the main thing without having to make an effort, but if on the contrary you have to withdraw your words, looking for the answer you have to do a thesis first so that your assumptions have a stronger basis.

Research isn't a requirement for placing predictions, so there are no accidental wins because they've already prepared the funds for betting. Bettors only use research as a reasonable standard for betting when they have room to speculate on a particular bet. This is an exception, especially in the case of AI in devices that place bets without being instructed and then wins.

Anything can happen  as a gambler while you continue to check signals and make predictions before betting on your favorite team. You could be lucky enough for you to be profitable betting and when your lucky season has not come, you might be making consistent loses which might look like you have to give up due to your inability to gamble and make profits.

Doing proper research is not a guarantee to win in gambling. Gambling is full of surprises, and even someone who knows nothing about it can be lucky enough to win, while someone who has spent a lot of time studying may not be lucky at all. But despite gambling being a game of luck, it makes sense to do some research before gambling, even if there is no guarantee of winning; at least it prevents one from gambling blindly. By doing research, there is a chance of winning. Even if winning is not certain, it is very important to have some knowledge when gambling rather than just jumping in without a proper understanding.

It’s possible that everyone who enjoys gambling has experienced this where a win happens by accident. To be honest I’ve never had that happen with sports betting or maybe I just don’t remember it but with slot machines, I’ve had that experience and it was almost exactly as you described when I took it seriously I lost but when I played casually, I ended up winning.

Clearly, luck plays a role in all types of gambling, including skill based games and your story is a perfect example of that.

[nara1892]

That's the nature of gambling. Even if you're involved in a skill-based game like sports betting and end up betting without doing any research or analysis, it doesn't mean you're doomed to lose. There's still a chance of winning, and when it happens, it means you're truly lucky. But I'd also say that sports betting is a form of gambling that combines skill and luck.
I've certainly had unexpected wins like that, but I've mostly had them in random games like slots, as I'm not a big fan of football.

Its funny how it works out like that sometimes. One time I bet on a totally random team on a whim from hanging out with a friend and spontaneously accepting an invite to go and watch the game with him and his friends and coincidently we all decided to place a parlay bet and it hit and we won! It was epic to share that with all of them.

Yes mate, gambling is actually all about luck, it doesn't matter how predictive or smart you are, you might still lose at the end. Wether we do critical research or not, we will either win or lose. There are times I did good research an win , there are also times I make a random pick and lose, there are also time I do random pick and win while I lose after making good research. It is just a game of luck. But the fact is that you should try to make a good predicting because it will help a lot. It guarantees more than just a random selection.

[maydna]

Not many people have lucky as your friend who can bet by picking random teams to bet. People spend hours research and many times they picking the wrong team instead the right team so your friend is one of those lucky guys that can win easily, gambling is all about luck, nothing more.

But we agree that proper research gives much data to us so we must do this. We realize that we don't have luck like your friend so we must keep research to find the team to bet. We can't just pick random team without research but you can asking your friend about his choice so you can bet the same team like him.

Sadly, I haven’t been lucky with gambling. To be honest, I haven’t won any lucky bets. Maybe it’s because I don’t like taking risks. Generally, these types of bets have higher odds but a lower probability of winning. I know my luck isn’t great, so I avoid placing those bets. That’s why I haven’t won any lucky bets in gambling.

As for your friend who won those bets, he definitely has great luck. However, the other friend who lost despite doing research shouldn’t be discouraged. Research helps increase your chances of winning, but it doesn’t guarantee success every time. He may not have won this time, but if he continues to analyze his bets well, he can definitely make good profits in the long time.

Gambling is a game of luck despite some people still claim to be  skillful In prediction. I have seen people who claim to have skill fail countless times. Now I wounder what is skillful in predicting and losing? They might actually predic games and its likely to play but that doesn't mean they are skillful. Of course anyone can be skillful because before placing bet people do research of the past and previous performance and predic, and moreover  AI can even do a research for you about the past analysis and the possibility of the next outcome. But in all, what must be must be. It's either you win or you lose. Sometimes random selection makes you win, but that doesn't make it better than research prediction.

[Tetu100]

People actually know the true but will like to turn it around to a little bit in their favour. Gamble is mostly based and determine by luck, and that's the fact wether we like it or not. Though their are sometimes that skills and and being a good gambler also contribute sometimes in our favour by pushing the scale a slight in our favour but what can actually determine the final fate is luck and am not twisting words about it. That's the reasons we shouldn't be over hyping our confidence and start doing what we will start regretting later.

If we are talking about casino games then yeah since they are mostly random but if it was sports betting or some kind of an event, then a fundamental analysis can increase our chances of winning but what happened there to the OP is indeed not accidental. It is meant to be that some did his reach and some did not.

The true accidental win is for example I mislooked the chips that I clicked thinking it was still a small amount like 5 but it was actually 50. I only got shocked by the time my bankroll got added by a noticeable amount. The feeling is superb when this happened but too bad that I only experience an accidental loss. Arghh fck me

This just goes to show that even with all of a person analytical skills they can still lose a bet of luck is not on their side, it's regrettable but it is the sad reality of life and that's also why people shouldn't be too dependent on gambling, there are no certainties so it's smart to not base your livelihood on the chance that you might win, sure there are people who have been able to change their lives through gambling but not everyone gets to be that lucky, don't gamble with what you can't afford to lose, keep your gambling in check.

I've had multiple small lucky wins rather than one big lucky win. I don't remember winning a decent amount of money after placing a bet without even doing minimum research. I do believe that traditional casino gambling is 100% about luck(maybe except poker games, where there's a certain amount of skill involved), while sports betting gambling around 80% luck and 20% analyzing and using your brain before placing a bet. However, this ratio doesn't work always, since there are people, who can do zero research and analysis and still win, but that's only a one time lucky event. In the long run, the sports bettors, who do proper analysis and research tend to have relatively better results than the people, who bet on sports with zero analysis.
