What do you trust the most?

VictorOd · Oct 3, 2025

Maybe it’s a mix: science builds the game, logic shapes the play, but luck decides the story.

So when you gamble, what do you trust more – math, skill, or luck?

Very well said, so eventually I trust math/science, skill and hope for a luck.

What do you trust the most? – your brain, the math, or pure luck? As an Engineer by profession, I have always wondered whether I can crack the games using pure science. So, let’s first split them up:

**Science** is in every game. The wheel, the dice, the cards – all run on math and probability, with the house edge built in.

**Logic** is in how we play. Smart moves, bankroll control, and strategy matter, but one bad card can ruin it.

**Luck** is the mystery. A beginner can hit the jackpot while a pro walks away broke.

Maybe it’s a mix: science builds the game, logic shapes the play, but luck decides the story.

So when you gamble, what do you trust more – math, skill, or luck? For me, I feel it’s my brain clubbed with luck, while it can vary depending upon the game we play.

PS: This is my 300th post on Cardschat - help me celebrate the milestone 😁😁

In my opinion, poker is a combination of skill, experience and luck. These three components are fundamental and will determine a player's results. An experienced player has the same chances of luck as a beginner, but an experienced player has skills that significantly increase their effectiveness.

For me.. its luck.. i think me as beginner is more luck then experience

wakee · Oct 4, 2025

For me it's a mix, but good luck at tables...lol...

Viking26 · Oct 4, 2025

You need all three ..braines ..math and luck

FastOne · Oct 4, 2025

I think it's a mix of all three, but since the question is which one I trust the most, it is math and is not even close for me.

Newzooozooo · Oct 4, 2025

I trust mathematics. It's not logical to rely on luck

I rely on knowledge and discipline because that guarantees that the game will at least bring me pleasure and I won't experience negative emotions.

There is only one thing you can trust - a gun 🔫)))

Is trusting luck like playing bingo?
I trust my own knowledge and experience, which I have used to acquire skills and gradually improve them

I never rely on anyone but myself.

When it comes to slots, pure luck. Logic goes out the window. Luck and logic when it comes to poker.

Ultimately, it's all luck, because you don't control the cards.

It's true that you don't control the cards, but you definitely control the way you play them. So, I cannot agree with you when you say: "It's all luck".

Apart from mathematics, I don't trust anything else. Mathematics is the basis for everything and, first and foremost, the basis for good play. Intuition, luck, experience — all these factors are important, but without mathematics they are worthless.

A different view from majority, good to know.

I've had over 2700 and others a great deal more. Talk of milestones when you reach one.

As for your question, trust no one or nothing.

Being a new member here (having spent less than a month or so), it was indeed a milestone for me at 300. Of course, it could differ between individuals. 😇

Well, I have to trust my brain, that's it's doing the right maths. And good luck is always welcome.

Definetly I can say, My Logic lol

Sorry for laughing, but it is illegal in 3 provinces for me to use the words My and Logic consecutively lol

Ruslan L · Oct 12, 2025

I always rely solely on my skills and experience. Life has taught me not to count on luck, but to do everything in my power to achieve a good result.

What do you trust the most?
