7 Incredible Things I’ve Learned Since I Began My Gambling Career
When I first launched down the path of gambling, I knew zero about casino games, gambling, and the world at large. I have since learned a lot of lessons throughout my gambling career.
Before, I would buy a lottery ticket, feel confused by the game, and toss it, never knowing if I won or lost. I’m 95% confident that I threw away a $1 million scratch-off in my early 20s. But now, I can look back over the past 20 years and be thankful that I didn’t have a million dollars back then.
Below, I want to share seven incredible things I’ve learned since I began my gambling career.
1 – Poker Is 99% Skill
When I first began hanging out in country club card rooms and private home games, I believed poker was all about luck.
I relied on luck and bluffing solely at the poker table, and I lost money hand over fist. There always seemed to be another player that was luckier than me or could read through my cold exterior. I soon realized that poker is 99% or more skill-based. The players that have the most skill will beat the player with the most luck almost exclusively.
That should be good news to any poker player. Playing a skill-based game means you can develop your skills rather than depend on luck.
