However, if you gamble with luck and skills, that will be your edge from winning your bets. Gambling is certainly pure luck, but having skills create a high advantage to boost the odds of winning.

I was thinking that luck is not something you control, it just happens. I see some contradictions in your statements. You first stated there are luck based games as well as skill based games. If you come around with the statement that gambling is pure luck, it because a case of inconsistency. I actually find your first argument very convincing because I have the feeling that skill is important in gambling even though luck play a major role.

Luck is not something that you can acquire or do anything to influence its appearance, if you get it on your side then good for you as you may get some profits during that period of time, however as we know the odds are against us when we are gambling at any casino, so given enough time regardless of how lucky a person may believe themselves to be, eventually their luck will take a turn for the worse and they will give back any money they may have won during that lucky streak.

Does this mean that even with luck on one's side, the casinos will always win? Do you think there are no people who have made fortune from casinos? I don't think I agree with you because there are people who have won millions of dollars from casinos who may have invested the money properly, they will not give them back to the casinos even if they experience the worst of bad luck.
