I am curious to know if someone continually invested a lot of time in studying a game involved in gambling, further if he had played the game a lot to understand the intricacies involved, then can we call him an expert in that gambling game? If we do call him an expert then we clearly differentiate his experience and expertise from that of a novice. This clearly shows that the person is capable of winning more as an expert than the novice who really does not have the in-depth understanding of the play.

This brings us to an interesting question if hard work in gambling really pays off? If one puts in a lot of efforts to understand a game involved in gambling, does it mean that all his time has gone down the drain? Certainly no. If gambling were simply a blind guess or a wild shot then even years of studying it makes it useless because one is simply guessing the outcome blindly. But such is not the scenario with gambling in reality. What makes hard work count in gambling?

This further sets off the question of addiction in gambling. Work can also be an addiction for many. But here the addiction could be for perfecting the game and the art of playing. This kind of addiction is to struggle every time for success by proper calculation and review. However, addiction can also be due to pure greed of winning with no clear knowledge of the game. If hard work counts, then we may actually find a solution for a healthier addiction towards success in gambling.

Its not because the player is a gambling experts, He can always win at every games, Of course they can still face loss because nobody
is perfect, not all the time luck will always there for every gambler of course not.

Agree, even professional gamblers cant win all the time, I think they are considered experts because they can remain calm and positive at gambling and that they can come up with better strategies compared to those who are too emotional in gambling.

you are right it is very important to work hard because without hard work no one ever got reward. So I consider this hard work one of the important rule to get success in gambling. We will have to struggle and gain knowledge about a game in case of gambling only luck is not good to rely on but hard work and luck combines together to make a gambler win.
