Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success?

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! Grin

If you play skill-based gambling, you certainly need skills to be able to win. But that may not apply in luck-based gambling games because we rely more on luck. And that is why many gamblers try to have analytical skills so they can win their gambling games. But for some people, luck is only a secondary factor, especially for those who often play skill-based gambling because they feel that if they can analyze a match well and find a team that can win, they have the potential to win.

Those which may like to enjoy some level of success when they gamble have no other option but to try skilled based games, and this is because as attractive as it can be to win in the games in which we rely on our luck completely, since we do not need to do anything in order to win, it is also true we have no control whatsoever over the outcomes we may get by choosing this route, meaning we have to discard it and choose the only option left over the table that allows us to have some control over our gambling outcomes.
