Luck or chance depends on the type of gambling that you're engaged in, although no standpoint of viewing gambling can guarantee wins. If it's mostly casino games like slot then it is basically luck but if it is sports bet you can analyze the chances of winning your bet. Bettors who don't analyze games are depending on luck to win because they don't rely on statistics. Whatever strategy that you choose to measure, whether it's luck or chance remember that it is mostly luck that you need to win. Always use small amount to gamble, that is the only tool that you have a control over.

I think that experience is often worthless in gambling regardless of luck or chance. In sports betting, experience is valued, but ultimately luck determines victory or defeat. In gambling, slot games are 100% luck based while in sports betting winning chance is same to experience and luck. No matter how you look at gambling statistics luck is a major factor in every scenario. When you bet on sports strategically you might think that the best team will win but it turns out that the team that perform best on the field always wins. Your observation and research of teams throughout the week can be considered useless simply because of luck. Many strong teams lose to weaker teams. That is why a recommendation is valuable. You said to always use a small amount of money for gambling this is the only way to minimize losses.

You made a great comment there, in most cases, most especially with slot and casino games , experience doesn't, really give you an edge cause those games are designed to run on pure chance, and no strategy can change that, with sport betting it's actually true that research and experience can help but just like you said luck actually do play a big role. So that's why to me betting small hell's and protect you from loosing heavily most especially when luck isn't coming your way.
It's actually safer that we have the mindset to take betting as a game for entertainment and not a way to be successful.

Well said,Gambling always circles back to luck no matter how much experience someone has slot games are completely random and even sports betting where research and strategy can add some edge still depends heavily on unpredictable factors injuries bad calls weather or simply an underdog outperforming on the day experience might improve judgment but it can’t remove the role of chance. Keeping bets small is really the only safe approach it helps minimize losses and keeps the activity in the realm of entertainment rather than a financial plan when seen as just a game it’s easier to accept both wins and losses without letting emotions take over the danger starts when people believe they can outsmart systems designed to favor the house.

Treating gambling as entertainment instead of a path to success is the healthiest mindset it protects from unrealistic expectations and prevents disappointment from turning into deeper problems balance discipline and perspective are what keep the experience safe. Another thing is knowing when to walk away because chasing losses only makes things worse the more someone tries to win back what they lost the deeper they usually fall gambling is supposed to be fun not a source of stress or debt so setting limits on time and money before even starting is one of the best habits to develop. In the end luck will always decide the outcome no matter the strategy or experience so the best approach is to enjoy the moment play within limits and never expect gambling to be a solution for financial goals that way the enjoyment stays while the risks are controlled.
