Is Gambling a Losing Game in the Long Run

[YellowSwap]

There is no escaping from gambling once you turned into a gambler, it's a vow that said until death do us part, it takes an extremely strong determination to quit gambling for good after several wins and losses.

Once you are in it becomes a part of you forever, this is why I think that gambling space is a prison, you can go on leave for a while and you will be back.

It's only a matter of time, this is why wins from gambling feels like loan exposure, it's like they lend you the money for a while and you will surely pay it back, unless you use the money right.

[Kelward]

After the finding your purpose on why you are gambling, then you could discover whether gambling is profitable on a long run for you or not, some may see it as lost to them because they are with the intention of earning from gambling and this is not happening as The wanted it, while other gambler who sees gambling as an entertainment will always appreciate every moment they engage in gambling because it is not a loss to them but an entertainment they are benefiting from.

That's really a good way to put it because even if one advises them to bet responsibly, they will still end up betting their own way and might still decide to take gambling as a way to make money from it, even if they are aware that gambling is not meant for that but if they stick to the right rules of gambling, they will be able to make informed decisions that will be helpful to them to avoid betting in a way that will cause them more harm than good and also help them to be in charge of their emotions.

What I can add is that whatever our reasons are for gambling either it's for entertainment or to make money it is important to gamble responsibly, if you gamble responsibly with small amounts it wouldn't matter if you win or lose on the long term. It is better to gamble for entertainment for our peace of mind, even when you lose you wouldn't see it as a big deal and you can still feel thrilled despite the outcome of your games. It is not good to be desperate to win in gambling, the more desperate to chase loses the deeper the gambler would go into addiction, when you lose you should move on, if you win take it and don't gamble with it.

My brother was actively involved in online gambling casinos and gambling for about three years. During that time, he invested a lot of time and money and he also gained considerable experience with casino games. However after those three years, the result was that he lost most of what he had.

Watching his experience led me to believe that, in the end  people who engage in gambling usually end up losing..

First, have you try to figure out what exactly makes your brother to lost everything he ever had while gmabling?  i am not sure that is all what happened because he gambled for a year and he didn't lost everything, he gambled for two years he didn't lost everything so why the third year? Maybe there is something he did wrong that makes him lost everything though I'm not saying one can not make loss at the end but it depends your approach and your luck but the answer to your question is No and Yes because not everyone that do loss in the end and not everyone that do make profit in the end too 🤣.

I think it's inaccurate to say that once you become a gambler, there's no escaping it anymore. The way you say it, it's like facing a hopeless problem. but as you can see, many former gamblers has been able to stop for years or decades and never once returned. They just need enough time and a few people to believe in them. Sometimes, those are the reason for their inspiration to recover and to become a better person.

There is nothing to gain when it comes to casino, you can learn how a casino game work in a minute or two, so that's irrelevant here.

And he gambled for 3 years and invested money for it? If what you are saying is true then you are saying that your borther gambled with the intention of making more money but ended up knowing the reality that is the possible outcome for anyone who does that way.

No one should gamble more thn what they want to lose.

Gambling is not a losing game; it is an entertainment, and we play it to achieve our desire of being entertained and for having fun playing, but when you see that a gambler turned gambling to be a losing game, then it shows that they have a different motive to why they are gambling and this cannot be fully achieved because any intention overcome blend that is not aligned to being entertained will only be a waste of time, if you see someone gambling to earn money, it shows that they are deceiving themselves or does not understand the purpose to why they should gamble.

Majority of gamblers would really be on the losing side, only a few or rare gamblers would be able to hit up some jackpot or make money but of course it would be that still depending whether they had made out some money totally or they had just that lose it back again into the casino just because they've played it again except for those gamblers who had purchased something on their gambling winnings then they are considered to be truly a winner not into those who had won up then lose it back again. Also, its just that so wrong that you would be thinking that you can make money long term in doing gambling and just said that its better not to expect something from it because if you do then it will really be just that making you desperate on which it would be causing up those actions on which it could lead into your demise when it comes to financial aspect.

The earlier people understand gambling, the best for them.  Gambling is made to make profit and also for you to lose so that the casinos or the companies in charge of it can also make profits, as a gambler you should bear in mind that as you gamble you are liable for the consequences that comes your way and no one should be blamed for your actions and it either you are gambling to make profit or you are gambling to be entertained. One must gamble with a reason not just wake up and start gambling and be loosing money there must be a reason for gambling so you don't end up hurting yourself at the long run.

There's no way someone will be gambling and he won't loose and majority of gamblers if they calculate their bettings what they have lost is greater than what they have won and that's how gambling is, if you don't follow up with wisdom you end up being used by the system and no one should gamble beyond what they can't afford to loose.

What I like the most in your write up is when you said that the motive behind your gambling harbit is what's determine if it's a losing game or not, and in all honesty, you are right, because nobody that takes gambling simply for fun will take it that way, but you see those gamblers that takes it as a means of making money? They are the one that sees it as a losing game, because of their intentions, which is making money from it, but when their bet is not going as expected consistently, they now tag it as a losing game, while it's not.

This statement is too strong and I don't agree with that because you make it look like someone who gambles cannot decide to quit. Not only that, you failed to distinguish a normal player from an addicted player which are the people you seem to be addressing. Even at that, addicted do overcome the challenge through the hype of people like psychologist or even people they listen to, so I don't know where yiu are getting the idea of gambling being a one way traffic. Some of us have even shown the characteristics of addiction in the early stages of our gambling, yet we are able to overcome and gamble the right way.

I personally believe that long-time gamblers are highly likely to lose everything if they cannot control themselves and stop gambling during a losing streak. This has nothing to do with experience or strategic skill, because gambling is fundamentally a game of chance. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to me when old gamblers go bankrupt because of the activity itself. Ultimately, hardly anyone can truly sustain profits from gambling—save for perhaps a handful of gamblers who possess truly exceptional luck.

Statistically speaking and with the presence of house edge- YES.

House-edge are the reason on why most gambling platforms are profitable. If there is no edge that gives these gambling platforms the slight advantage, then I doubt that they would survive in the long-term. The fact that lots of gambling platforms are steadily increasing tells us that they are indeed profitable.

While this may be the case, you need huge amounts of capital to start your own gambling website. The moment that you fail to pay someone else's win, then your platform would quickly destroy its name thereby losing the opportunity to attract and maintain your player base.

Is Gambling a Losing Game in the Long Run

When you gamble with the intention of getting rich, it often turns into a loss because many gamblers are in debt because they invested their money which they took from other people and they thought they will rich fast and will pay to these people. Some people got some amount by gambling but after that they were habitual to do gambling on different sites and they want to do no hard work and they are in debt and they will be depth of debt. When you are gambler you will think that number which will give you money but there is no logic behind this And that is reason they are not getting anything but they hope to get more money from that .

We have different types of gamblers, and they all have different motives for gambling. For gamblers whose motives are to make money, it is possible that gambling will be a losing game because when it is all about money, it is difficult to be responsible or even to have limits.

But for gamblers who have the main essence of gambling and are not driven by money, gambling is just a game of fun, and even if they lose, it is an amount they can afford to lose. It can be a losing game for some people based on how they perceive gambling.

I haven't kept any formal records, but from casual observation of my memory, I am sure, I should be in overall loss too. But, I ain't really bothered by it either, I have mostly gambled for entertainment purposes, and it has given me with money's worth — I don't count how much money I have spent on video games or the cinema tickets, it's same with gambling.

I can tell you they plays with us psychologically in first 4 to 5 bets they give us money just to trigger our dopamine so we invest big and lose all. And yes! we can end up in a net loss.

No. That's not true, unless casino is shady.

The longer you gamble the more likely you are to fall victim to statistics. That being said, you are also more likely to win a jackpot that way. The only sure way to come out ahead is to be constantly increasing your bet over time and then never gamble again when you hit a jackpot that puts you ahead. Most people can’t do this.

It will be better for you to simply gamble responsibly because it will even help you become a responsible gambler. Gambling responsibly is the best, and you will even have a better chance of winning than gambling every time. It is simply better to learn to gamble occasionally rather than daily. That is the same faith that will typically meet anyone who gambles consistently. And one of the main reasons why people act in this way is that they are very avaricious and want to gain money quickly. We should all know that this won't work, but people aren't patient enough. You must be aware of the strategies you will employ when you gamble if you want to profit from it.

The main reason why a gambler gets into trouble in gambling is that he cannot accept losses. Once he starts losing, he starts betting more in the hope of recovering the losses, and from there the situation goes out of control. That is, where he should stop and refrain from gambling, but instead of stopping, he increases the amount of play, and this wrong decision of his leads him to a worse situation. Continuing to play in the hope of recovering losses is the biggest wrong decision. gambling will definitely cause losses, and within the ability to accept these losses, we should gamble for entertainment. But most gamblers cannot limit gambling to entertainment, at some point they lose control, and start playing uncontrollably and from there everything starts to be destroyed. Therefore, following the limits in gambling correctly is the main thing, without self-control and limits, gambling will become harmful immediately.

Gambling responsibly is the best, and you will even have a better chance of winning than gambling every time.

From what example does responsible gambling increase a gambler's chances of winning? I think responsible gambling is a way for gamblers not to lose more. Of course, it can reduce the risk of gambling addiction, but it doesn’t increase the chances of winning. 
Those who gamble regularly also can’t really be said to be irresponsible. They might also have free time and planned budget allocations. 
Even though in the long run regular gamblers might lose more, it shouldn’t be a problem if the gambler has already set certain limits.

The first mistake he made is investing a lot of time and money, it is not an investment that he will invest a lot of money and time. It is not something he is sure of winning since winning is not guaranteed, so he is suppose to prepare him self for that, when he was putting a lot of money there.
Nevertheless, everyone cannot be the-same when it comes to gambling, not everyone who engage in gambling end up losing. Just gamble with what you can afford to lose.

Many people can make profit by gambling and by showing that, many people invite to his referral link. Because when he invites some active gamblers, he will get commission from their losses. It is a very lucky thing to keep the profit while gambling. I was able to make $1150+ profit recently but because of gambling I lost almost $600 from it again so now I have deactivated my account for 15 days. If I continue gambling then I will keep losing. You must remember that gambling is entertainment for us and some people think it is a place to earn income but those who run casino sites it is their business. So they have arranged their business in such a way that even if someone can make profit there, they will not be able to keep it if they cannot control themselves and come back from there. Gambling increases the dopamine hormone in our brain so no matter how much we want to stay away from it we fail
