Do anyone else win at poker but blow it on sports bets as I do all the time! I won a tourney for about 800 pounds then I blew it in the bookies on the horses as I love horse racing

I would never bet such amount of money on an event in which I cant effectively affect the outcome. The horse may just fall and there goes your bet

Try only playing poker. Being a skill game, we are less likely to gamble foolishly while grinding.

With other forms of gambling (where there isn't a human component to abuse), you need to understand pure statistics and be absolutely rigid with bankroll management.

With poker more elasticity is allowed due to there being a non raw-stat component (skill of opponents).

I sometimes make bets on tennis when there are major competitions and I watch matches.

Yup, definitely been there but if I stick to just blackjack then I usually win at that too. I get into trouble when I start playing roulette and baccarat.

That is nonsense, mate! If you are a winning poker player but blow your winnings on other bets, then what's the use? Stop it altogether and pick up fishing or something.

But why fish when I'm the shark eating them all day long? ;)

I usually have an edge on the field that i'm playing poker, but on other gambling games like blackjack I usually lose, which is expected, cause it was made for losing, although there are a lot of tactics and theory behind them.
By the way, I wouldn't consider poker a gambling game, cause it's a game that sometimes ou don't even need to see your cards, just play the other guys game and make a very nice and well spotted play on him and he may fold his hand, on the other side, poker is a game of cards and has luck envolved, but in the famous "long run" all poker players that make profitable plays, will be profitable in the long run, that is more than proved, so don't feel bad when you lose in the other games and only win at poker, cause that's normal hahaha

Sports betting requires some kind of knowledge in the business. If you do not quite know what you're doing, better stay away or just bet a few dollars just for fun.

In horse racing I have no idea whether they require knowledge or just luck. Either way, if you never win it's best to stay away.

Recognizing that you aren't winning is the first step. Quit playing, study up and start playing for smaller stakes when you're ready.

Definitely true. I lose at horse racing but I stopped after losing cash.

They are fastest way to double up.. but its very confusing to me.

One of the Underdog horses win the race ! it happens all the time.

I wonder why would they keep the odds like that..

Like a horse with 14.30 wins.. I never keep it as I think why would they give that much if its going to win.. and bet on 4.4 or 5.4 horses and they lose..

So confusing. UFC betting is better lol

Poker is not gambling



It's gambling trust me! Just some people are more favourite to win! I can make plenty of examples of why it's gambling but I will just say if it was not gambling like you say then the pros would win every session but the truth is that no poker in the world have won every session they played! In fact it's mathematical impossible! Just like the casino don,t win from there punters every session!

That happens to me really often aswell. It feels pretty bad, because I don't play high stakes poker and then I lose my winnings.

In my personal case, I am very competitive I want to win everything I play, play without motivation or to hang out is not my thing as in poker and other games
