A lot of people here say that we can’t win in gambling, so I just want to ask - are you saying that because you’ve experienced it yourself, or is it just something you read and are repeating as a theory? It’s easy to say, but if you’re someone who doesn’t really gamble and yet insists that no one can win, isn’t that just discouraging those who are actually optimistic about winning?

I just believe being optimistic is not a healthy state of mind for someone who is regularly involved in gambling or sport betting, because we would be implicitly creating expectations on money we have not yet wom through our gambling sessions, as simple as that. One cannot count on money one does not have.

Also, I think those who day that usually have in mind the reality that the house will be always in the winning side when comes to the long term activity of gamblers, there is a reason for the house edge to exist, after all, to ensure profitability of the casino and sport books.

One can win money in gambling, but one should not take the experience of others (who have won a lot of money) and extrapolate those experienced upon us. That is a mistake.
