There are event you can predict on that even though it's not 💯 guaranteed that you're going to win, a level of certainty makes you think that you're surely going to win.

The downside of that feeling is that you might become over confident to use a big amount in the game since you're to a large extent certain that you're going to win.

Can we still say we are gambling if the event is something we are at least 90% sure that we are going to win?

If we aren't calling it gambling then what else should we call it? so-far-as it involves staking of your hard earned money that is gambling of course, just that it is more like a sure game in other words sure banks, however gambling sometimes can be very unpredictable, nothing is certain in the game is either you lose or you win.

Yes, that is still gambling because money is involved. But we don't have to feel overconfident because we don't know the final result. There is a possibility for the result to be different from what we expect so when that happens, we may feel bad and want to try more.

That will just make us keep playing without thinks that we are already playing enough gambling. Gambling involves uncertainty even if we are sure with our analysis. So we must be wise in gambling.

And when you look closely this overconfidence is really what traps most gamblers it’s not even the initial loss that hurts the most it’s the idea in their mind that they should have won so they keep doubling down to prove themselves right instead of just moving on they believe the game owes them a result but gambling doesn’t owe anybody anything it only plays by its own rules the continuation of this mindset often leads to dangerous spirals someone starts small then increases the stake because they felt 90 percent sure and before they realize it their bankroll is damaged and the stress starts to kick in this stress then pushes them to gamble more hoping to recover losses but all it does is make the hole deeper and deeper until there is no way out except stopping completely this is why many experienced players always say discipline and self control are more important than any strategy because once you believe there are guaranteed wins you are already halfway lost in reality gambling is always uncertain and the only thing you can control is your own decision making if you treat every game as uncertain no matter how confident you feel you will protect yourself and give yourself the chance to stay in the game longer without destroying your finances and your peace of mind.

And that’s the real secret if you ask me it’s not about chasing the next big sure win but about learning how to manage both the highs and the lows because gambling is designed to test your emotions if you can stay calm in both moments of victory and defeat then you are already ahead of most people once you understand that it’s more about the journey than the illusion of guaranteed profit you will realize that patience and discipline are the only true allies in this game.
