Internet is full of reassuring stories on big gambling wins like ten/hundred -thousand-dollar, or even more, while in most cases the gamblers are losing because they are either not the experts in on gambling they try or have not relevant skills and make foolhardy bets.
I'm sure everyone here involved into gambling has made such reckless bet at least once in life.
Did such bet/s change your gambling styles?
Have you become to be more eager in gambling or , on the contrary it has put a chill on you?
Well this is a great topic and yes, making foolhardy bets sometimes happens. The problem about them is that if they hit, they could then be misleading positive results for future bets. The thing is that a foolhardy bet is not necessarily a losing bet. That's where it is to important to realize that what someone did was foolish despite winning. But sometimes it is exactly these bets that have enormous payouts.
Though you are certainly right that over a longer period of time it would be a losing game to play. But on the other hand I think that all the knowledge and analysis in the world doesn't give you guaranteed wins either. You were talking about skills and while I believe there can be skill involved in gambling, I still have my doubts that some people turn it into a profession and can live off of it for many years. I am not talking about guys who get lucky gambling for three months and then let everyone know they would be professionals. I would rather like to see someone who can prove that professional gambling worked out for a few years as that would eliminate the luck factor if someone can have net positive results while paying attention to bank roll management etc. When someone says it, I am sceptical whether it is true or not.
