Now I am not an expert in gambling but this day was a really eye opener for me, you can never win in gambling. Imagine when you can't win in lotto , soccer betting or whatever you call it, you don't have a chance in slots.

To be fair, gambling is too broad a term nowadays. We cannot generalize gambling as if all gambling games can be categorized as one. I mean, I cannot classify dice as the same as a game of poker. They are obviously two different bananas. In the same manner that you cannot classify gambling on a lotto and gambling on a soccer game as one.

The huge difference is that the other one is purely based on luck while the other could be won based on skills, or perhaps based on a brilliant analysis. Gambling on a slot machine is definitely a world different from gambling on a game between Roma and Brondby on Italian Serie A.

Perhaps you are just having an unlucky day, mate. There are always better days ahead.

The better day comes out of luck, and the skills make way to be luck. Sometimes out of fate even after getting close to luck things go out of track. This happens often, and most of the gamblers could've experienced it. Dice, poker and other forms of gambling vary with the requirements, but those too has dependence over luck. Skills were the base and luck is the concluding factor.

Well, I won't have to argue with you here. Gambling is really based on luck to a significant extent. But I would not be putting skill off as a major factor especially if we talk of poker, for example. As I have pointed out in another post days before, a 3 and 9 in your hands could actually bust a pair of aces. And a bettor who constantly monitors the players' skills, condition, chemistry, etc. is bound to win more than the one who just looks at which teams are playing.
