As one very smart person used to say, the most profitable strategy in gambling is not to gamble at all...
LOL, that means he is not a gambler, if we gamble we have fun and it doesn't matter if we loss as long as we control it.
Gambling could be a waste of money but you pay for the entertainment you have, that if you are gambling for real fun, and not for profit.
Exactly, if you did not play a game then there's no gamble happened, what is smart is when you play any strategy inside your minds and enjoy the outcome, both win or lose as long as you execute your desire and you experience the excitement and enjoyment of trying your luck to win some
game, for some people, playing dice is more on luck based gambling and no strategy that you can lean, place your bets and wait for the quick results,
nothing to be expect but to win or lose your money.
I'm a big fan of dice, before I spend a lot of time doing it, and of course making strategy but I never had a success to win.
Just like a typical gamblers, we win some and we loss some, our enemy in gambling is only ourselves, if we loss control that would lead to bigger loses.
Now I just minimize this kind of game, and I made myself focus on sports as I see better chance their.
