Does patient applicable to gambling?

[programmer3666]

As we may know it often said that patient is a virtue and of course I believe that with patient you should be able to achieve whatever you want through consistency.
Please, try to get my points as I am trying to drive something from this post, though it may actually sound different from the usual way you may know; as they said patient is very important to everything we are doing, now I would want to know how long would you keep having patients while gambling and if you don't make the expected amount for around 1-3 years do you think you should keep gambling or stop? Whereas, as it is said patient is virtue and through patient you could be able to achieve whatever you want. But then again, does it mean it's only patients we need to become a successful gambler?

You can drop your argument, let see what it would results and those who strictly believe that patient is virtue.

Patience is good for many things in life, but I am not so sure if that applies to gambling. You can be patient for years and still lose because gambling is mostly luck, not hard work. It's not like farming or building a business where patience and consistency eventually pay off. Being patient for 1-3 years and still not winning, that's not patience, that's just wasting time and money. At some point, you will just have to be real with yourself and know when to stop. Patience only works if there is a plan and progress. Without that, it is just stubbornness.

now I would want to know how long would you keep having patients while gambling and if you don't make the expected amount for around 1-3 years do you think you should keep gambling or stop? Whereas, as it is said patient is virtue and through patient you could be able to achieve whatever you want. But then again, does it mean it's only patients we need to become a successful gambler?

To become a successful gambler, patience alone isn't enough; need a "fat and deep wallet". Because if you wait 1-3 years for your coveted jackpot (and why would you say no longer? many gamblers end up never winning their long-awaited prize), you'll need a sizable sum to wager. And, in general, is it worth it to continue "suffering" by spending money? Considering the RTP, the longer you gamble, the lower your chances of winning. So, the most profitable tactic is to play for the shortest possible time, win the required amount, and quit gambling. This is from a practical, financial perspective. You should also consider how much money you'll spend on bets over 1-3 years (or even longer) and whether your "coveted win" (if it happens) will cover these losses.

Being able to hold for almost all the time keeps you sane from being addicted. Thats right patience is a virtue,  its not a golden rule or standard followed lately hence some gamblers can achieve an ultimate win. For the most part, being patience can take longer than expected without any sureness of success. I guess we can do that saying on other things like work, business l, lovelife nd other stuff more efficiently than gambling.

I don't think patience will improve your results or even bring you closer to victory. Money is lost in the same way. Some compelling arguments are needed to prove otherwise. It's okay to speculate, but what's the end result? Is there any evidence that this is true?

I've been playing for years. I have plenty of patience, but what has it brought? Nothing good. Deposit after deposit evaporates in the same way.

I believe in the word patient is a virtue, but I don't think that it is applicable in Gambling. Being patient when gambling does not guarantee that you will succeed or be successful. You may be patient and succeed, you may Also be patient and not succeed. There is no criteria to justify that being patient will make you succeed in Gambling. People just try to apply the strategy to see if it works for them in Gambling, and in that process some people becomes lucky while some are unlucky regardless of how patient and endurance they are in Gambling.

If someone gamble for a period of time and observed that he or she is not making any progress I guess the right thing for the person to do is to stop gambling though sometimes we don't just win immediately we start gambling because sometimes it can take longer and if you are the kind that don't have a good discretionary income to gamble will give up on gambling or you will start using your money that is meant for your needs to gamble which can be very bad.

[Proty]

 There is nothing like patient as long as gambling is concerned. Infact even if a gambler thought that they are being patient this won't change anything or help them in any way because patients cannot make them to win. A gambler can be patient by enduring losses and believing that they will win in the future. However, if there is no luck on there side no matter how patient they may be it won't change anything at all.

Well, even though patience is a virtue, I don't think it is applicable in the way you're describing. What is patience btw?

PATIENCE

A) the ability to accept obstacles or delays in a calm and self-possessed way

B) the ability to act with calm or restraint under provocation or strain

C) the ability to persevere over a long period of time despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity

Persevering over a long time even when at loss, in a calm way is patience. But then again, Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. When you keep on gambling (especially sports betting) for years, then you say you're being patient that one day you'll hit it big, I honestly think the Stupidity definition is applied to you   .

But, if it is the lottery, or purely luck based games where you have no control over, then in this scenario, I think patience has the ability to be virtuous hopefully; if only you don't run out of cash before then

Gambling is an activity that completely turns our usual truths on their head. You claim that patience is important and necessary in life. And I don't disagree with you, but in gambling and betting, patience can become the very trait that drives any gambler to addiction. Because they'll keep playing, patiently waiting for a win, when it's high time to quit. After all, they'll likely end up in debt and loans. Therefore, all these life truths don't quite apply in gambling, and you need to be able to navigate the situation, sometimes by re-evaluating the situation.

At first patience has nothing in common with gamble, it can't align no matter what. We don't gamble for expectation but rather we gamble for fun and that's all. However, trying to merge gambling with patience in anyway isn't  making sense to me, perhaps the only reason this can be possible is when you are desperate for it, maybe you take gamble as a possible source of income which is unacceptable. Gamble should be treated for what it is, striving further after three years of constant losing and hoping to hit a jackpot some day is literally a joke to me and it make no sense to me in anyway.

But then again, does it mean it's only patients we need to become a successful gambler?

The only thing needed to be a successful gambler is to forget about every possible benefit that's attached to it and just enjoy your gambling experience. Because by this your peace of mind is gauranteed, your money is saved, your are free from desperation, aggressive bet and many other stuff that would have get you addicted.

I think hope is a trait similar to patience, which can be detrimental in gambling. Hope is very important in life; those who hope for the best always achieve victory sooner or later. But if this person persists, as you described, they can become addicted. I believe gambling should be treated superficially, as a light hobby.
And nothing more. Because only a real job requires hard work and a constant desire not to tire. Gambling is a place where it's best to take frequent breaks and give both your psyche and your wallet a rest, which allows you to maintain a passion within moral bounds.

The very statement of the OP's question about the duration of patience indicates an attitude towards gambling as a way to get rich. It looks like a person is willing to suffer setbacks in order to achieve the goal of a conditional jackpot. And this is called virtue? Gambling is a way of entertainment, a way of idle pastime, but definitely not a way to get rich.

The way to get rich is to launch your own online casino (with investors' money or with your own money). Therefore, instead of losing for three years, it is better to spend these three years looking for investors in your business (not necessarily a casino, but it was just an example).

[Olatundespo]

Patience is a great virtue but if you regularly lose money at gambling it would be unreasonable to continue gambling or you might not want to gamble for very long. Even if the purpose of gambling is entertainment, if you lose regularly, you will not want to gamble for a long time. In trading, if a trader is patient, he will be able to profit at some point as his experience increases. A gambler will not conduct his activities aimlessly for a long time. One objective they may have is the hope of winning the jackpot but there is no guarantee of that.

Because persistence and patience are essential in jobs and businesses where they're truly necessary. Even in relationships, when you're trying to win a girl, persistence is crucial. But in gambling, it's crucial to be someone who lacks persistence, someone who gives up easily. If you're losing at gambling and your deposit is already at zero, you absolutely mustn't persist. It's important to say, "Yes, I was unlucky today, and that's enough for me for today." Don't try to get your money back, because that's the biggest mistake a bettor or gambler can make. The key is to let go.

Yes, but don't forget that we're talking about gambling, which encompasses many different types of games. Yes, in slots or Aviator, it's best to give up immediately when you see that luck is clearly not on your side.
But think about card games like poker. Don't they require patience? Think about how many approaches there are, like the Sklansky-Chubokov approach and the like, and how long it takes to master them to become a decent poker player. You need to be able to calculate quickly in your head, and this also requires persistent learning. Therefore, poker and blackjack are exceptions.

Hmm... I generally understand your point and appreciate it, but poker has the same downsides that become apparent when a player perseveres. Yes, they improve as they gradually learn and discover new things about poker, but who said every poker player becomes more successful because of it? Aren't they setting themselves up for failure by thinking they're becoming a professional? After all, luck still plays a significant role, and they can still show financial results. But who's to say they're not on a lucky streak right now?
Maybe they'll try patiently, but they'll remain the same weak player who'll still lose everything because they simply show weakness at one point or go all-in due to an emotional breakdown?

If the sole reason you're gambling is to earn a certain amount within a set period, you're doing it for the wrong reason, and you should try to forget about it before it becomes a bigger mess!

• But then again, does it mean it's only patients we need to become a successful gambler?
  

  Regardless of how you classify someone as a successful gambler, patience alone is not going to be enough to make someone a successful gambler ^{[if it were that simple, all/most of us would've already been successful in this field]}.
  

[TedMosby]

“Does patience apply to gambling?”
IMO, no, it doesn’t. The way you talk about patience here is like the hard work bias in life.
They say if we work hard, we can be anything and achieve everything in life. But in reality, it doesn’t work like that.

There are many people who work hard in life, but in the end, they don’t get what they want. Many people work less than these hard-working people, but in the end, they get what they want. The same thing happens with "patience."

What you need the most in gambling is luck.
Some say luck is preparation meeting opportunity, and I agree with that.

For example, people who keep buying lottery tickets for years and finally win the lottery. If they didn't buy the lottery tickets (preparation), they wouldn't have a chance to win (opportunity). What I am trying to say is that patience and consistency are not enough in gambling. They are just the preparation for you to meet the opportunity.

If anyone has been gambling consistently for 1–3 years without achieving their profit goals, the first question shouldn't be, "Should I be more patient?" It should be, "Is my approach actually working?"  " What can I do to improve my strategy?"  " Is it affecting my financial life?"

Patience is valuable, but it should never be an excuse to keep repeating an approach that consistently loses money. That's stupid

Good opinion because most people may think that patient is the main factor that pushes winning more quickly, and of course people should not be that too naive not to re-strategized and think of other possibilities that would give them winning.
Gambling is not for profit making but solely for an entertainment purposes and whenever someone is gambling they should be able use the money they can afford to lose to gamble without expecting a particular amount in returns.

no, patience does not improve results but sometimes patience allows you to calmly wait for the right moment
For example, in poker patience is very useful, when you have to fold hands that you would like to play, because you want to play and not look and wait for the right hand... here patience is really needed!
