So I am tempted to inquire if skill is all that is needed to be successful in gambling or luck. Whichever be the option, which of them is the most important factor for gambling success?
- I believe that skills play a more crucial role than luck in gambling or any other field. Interestingly, I just read a post on this forum discussing the use of mathematical skills to win in gambling. You can check it out here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474432.0- Gambling is a game based on probability, and if you can calculate the probabilities, the chances of winning are high. To achieve that, you need skills. Luck, on the other hand, is just a secondary factor. If you lack skills, then, of course, luck becomes the most important factor for you!

And so taken that into account, some of us doesn't do good at math or probabilities, after all we all play for fun and entertainment. But there could be other sides who wants to win money but they are not good at math.
So for them, everything will be just on luck I guess. And most likely they are going to play games that are easy to understand like slot machines, but we all know that its one of the worst odds for us as the games itself, based on numbers and data are not going to favor us.
