List of the most popular Betting Strategies see here: http://sportstatist.com/betting-strategies/

Someone told me it was close to the Martingle method. But when I play games like Blackjack, Dice and Roulette.  I use the strategies

X's 1, X's 1, X's 2, X's 2, X's 4, X's 6, X's 10
Play it until you loose.
So if your first bet is $10 it would be:
10,10,20,20,40,60,100

I have recently start changing it though to:
10,15,20,30,60,100 it gets you to the 10s 10 bet quicker but if you catch a BJ the first 3 hands then if you loose you are up 20-40 dollars!

The page you linked is extremely difficult for me to browse from a desktop at 100% zoom- the text font is tiny and all the same color, and I have to scan through all this. It's accessible, but not very neat. The page overall seems like something out of 2008 or something of the sort, too.

I like that the flaws of the Martingale method are linked on the site. There's been lots of discussion here and elsewhere about the method, and although the consensus is that the method really doesn't work at all, there are always people that ignore advice- nice to see that you pointed out the flaws of the method with math to make it clear that it doesn't really work.

Rather than on sites design one thing that caught my attention is on this.

Btw, going back on topic no matter how these betting strategies are popular it would still have the same outcome or results would vary on how lucky you are.

Yeah. I think the title of this post should be: "Popular strategies to lose your money". Casinos are very interested in teaching people "strategies" so they believe they can beat the house but they will lose their money.

That's right. I have never counted how much I lost when trying different strategies one after other. Every strategy claims to be a winning one which would beat house edge until we find out its not. As you say, casinos are encouraging players to discuss strategies so, that it would eventually end up as beneficial for them.

I dont disagree exactly but this site seems to be a lighter then directly giving out some system that would work for certain.   No bettor should assume they can read something and acquire a certain device for winning, its always going to have to be a personal buildup of knowledge and good practise.

This is the same for any guide to 'how to'  actually interpreting that into a personal method is another step beyond that.   In this case I think its just padding out ideas on betting or even just winning mindsets roughly, seems to me its alot of reading and also digesting required which is no sure win for sure and to their credit I dont see them implying that exactly

Here some more good strategies from both Primedice and Stake gamblers:

https://forum.primedice.com/board/45-gambling-techniques/

https://forum.stake.com/board/105-maths-probability/

Definitely an interesting list you've shared, I like that it's all just listed there in a compact format, worth a bookmark for sure.
Thee article about bankroll management might be useful for me in the future, interesting read for sure.

http://sportstatist.com/bankroll-management-odds-edge-and-variance/

They're not the typical strategies you'd usually see, I appreciate that the focus is more on education than anything else.

So many strategies you got there. Its a little confusing to follow every strategy you shared but it's good to have some copy of it if not all be followed. I think it is best to just enjoy gambling rather than take it seriously and eventually lose.

I think this website would prove useful on the different things to consider while betting. For example like the article of "Past performance is not an indicator of Future Results," I have thought of this and reading it now in the website, and the conclusion is excellent knowing that you should still be subjective on whatever the data you have on an individual sport. Who can even predict the perfect thing right?

I also like the opportunity cost to sports betting like taking advantage of the possible opportunities that can be grabbed and having different bettors. Knowing that you could grab it and take advantage of the potential ROI in a given term. I haven't known that before reading the article. Great site.

I don't really use any pattern or technique when playing with gambling but I surely want to lessen my losses when it comes to betting, And my only method is to just play games that are easy to understand and will bet on it with a minimum mone at hand then call it a day, And because my mindset is thinking that winning in gambling is just a chance you can accumulate only by luck so lessen your money at hand or lose only the money that you only willing to let go.

Martingale works much better in sports betting. Choose a better opponent.  Go above 1.75 odds in 1v1 result games.
Let's say you bet 1 token on a tennis player at odds 1.75. If you won, you're a winner. If you lost, place a bet of (lost amount)+1x(new odds/lost odds).
You'd have more than 50% chances when you know your game rather than less than 50% in all of gambling.

I think we all want to lessen losses and increase profits, just like in business. I think you need to have the knowledge of different strategies like showed in the site and like you said, understand the settings and when to stop. Stuff like that, and correcting your mindset that it's not always Christmas every day that you are going to win.

I haven't thought about adding the amount of what you lost then adding the multiplier. Have you used it a lot?
I don't recall using that type of strategy, just the usual doubling of the amount you bet the last time but I tend to disagree
with continuous gambling, but with proper management, I think it has better chances when you track your bets.

It's complete on the site but I want to add one moment when you are stuck in a confusing situation that everyone might experience.Well something that is indicated by a subtle whisper within someone that you must follow is not lust because it is very different,you will know later if you are at the gambling table humans are created with unique advantages.

His betting method is not as good as martingale strategy. You can easily lose a large amount of money if you continue using this method and the chances to make a profit is lower than 50%. This is just the same strategy as "Fibonacci" but this method is better than martingale strategy.

If you are looking for better a explanation about "Fibonacci" you can find this on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZyVEe1ORTE

That's awesome man, thanks for the link. But having those types of strategies are not a sure way to get profit but at least,
you can take the opportunity to make the chances higher. I think more gambling types could be seen on YouTube, and still,
the most popular one in the gambling strategies is the Martingale. The site has different types of gambling information.

For those of you who are following and suggesting martingale. It doesn't work with online games. You can martingale basic games of heads and tales but don't try it with dice. You will fail.
The most common betting strategy in the world is waiting for something to appear and choose the opposite. Like in roulette you have red and black. You wait for 2 reds in a row and bet on black. Chances of the same thing coming up 3 times in a row are very small. But that's a thing in normal casinos. In online gambling the same result can appear 10 times in a row.

In my opinion betting strategies will simply help a little by sinching it to your mind that all possible bet is going on be a random outcome but I really think this list of strategy can really help a mindset of engaging with caution, I really love their Betting Psychology and their crash course for aspiring professional bettors that would surely gain you more knowledge in a right decision making, But after reading every strategy it is still good to keep a limited money at hand because you may never know your need for gambling or you may end up wasting all of it without you even noticing it.

Thanks for the description of this problem. At the moment, improved display of site pages on mobile devices. For stationary computers, it is not yet possible to make major structural changes of site.

Well said buddy because no bettibg strategies were truly good and profitable secrets and the strategies ever existed are base on guessing the result of the game just like the cryptocurrency technical analysis in trading aspect. However, every real gambler won't believe so much in it cause we both know no one can beat the gamble company unless such person cheated through a secret means.

IMO, it's depend on what type of gambling do you play.
For example :
dice , martiangle is great way to earn quick profit
Poker, if you have guts and luck , you will win big ,today

So there are no guarantee that same strategy will make you win, you need to improved your strategy and recycle with new one every period.

That's why I always suggest mixing, it's the only thing that can work. Play dirty, aggressive, make surprised bets, but all that works for luck based games. Poker on the other side can be tricky, you play against other people and you never know how crazy they are, maybe they will try to bluff you and to get some crazy river card and knock you from your chair. I can say that losing some crazy poker hand make me more nervous than losing two times more money on dices, poker is crazy game and if you play it a lot you can see everything, with luck based games you know where you are, you play against casino.

There really aren't any fool proof strategies bith for luck based and skill based games. Martingale can only take you so far depending on how big your capital is. Being unpredictable in poker can sometimes backfire on you. And upsets happen even in the most lopsided sport matchups.

Yes its because these strategies will never work all the time, and in the long run due to greed and fear and emotion, you will lose money anyways.

Casinos don't care if you use strategies at all since they know that none of them work.

For example, I remember years ago I was at some casino. And this girl asked while she was at the Blackjack table if she could use the "Blackjack Cheat Sheet" which basically tells you how to bet, depending on what type of hand you are dealt and to my surprised they let her use it. And she lost anyways.

Casinos just want you to think there are some secret strategies so you think you have some "edge" and it gets you to gamble and lose your money.

It looks more like a "academic paper on betting strategies" rather than betting strategies.
I mean I was honestly waiting for stuff like martingale and stuff that are similar to it and not this one. This is more like what you would do on a research paper for your school on statistics or economics type of class as a project instead of actually making a website around it.

It is too professional and honestly too "different" in a way that it shows the ideas and descriptions instead of the actual simple wikipedia type "this is how martingale works, this is how bluff works" type of explanation stuff which I was honestly expecting when I read the topic title and clicked to get here.

I will not think too much about strategy when I gamble, no matter what kind of gambling. I only wish luck always sided with me. ;D

My opinion on martingale was always negative. It seems to work at first and than it doesn't and you lose it all. If martingale was a strategy that allowed to earn quick profit, like you are saying, people would be using it all the time and casinos would have to forbid it. They aren't forbidding it because it doesn't work.
Card counting in blackjack used to work but it doesn't in an online casino. For it to work you have to know they have only 1 deck, not 3 or 4.

When you are against the house then it is already normal for them to make such steps or prohibitions when it comes to a particular strategy that can be used against them so its no surprise to have such
set-up like what you have said on blackhack. There are lots of betting strategies which is good because gamblers can test it out and to make some enjoyment into your bets but sadly most
of us do treat it as a holy grail to make ourselves to be rich and end up to be wrecked because of those false hopes.

There is no perfect strategy in gambling and no exception with martingale. Martingale works for some time but if we use it over and over again, sure there will be a time when we won't able to continue our game due to lack of balance,  surpass the max bet that allowed on a gambling site and so on.

I just reversed the method when playing blackjack, only to bully opponents to force them to fold. so if the initial bet is $ 10, then the next is:
10, 50, 100, 30.10
but if the third round gets an increase, then the multiples are 2, and so on.

I have seen couple that really surprised me a lot. For example there is no really strategy that could potentially win on dice because no matter what you do house edge still gets you however during sports betting you could play the odds apparently.

There was a strategy where gamblers use to determine which is more likely to win and look at the odds and even if the probable loser has a better odd given to them than the chances than they bet on the probable loser side. Just because of the better odds. If you are going to give some probable win team very very tiny amount of odd than there is potentially no reason to risk the money. I think that is why there are still people who bet on other sides of gambling and keep the sportsbooks honest about the odds because if you don't bet on the other side than they would slightly try to change their odds to that side.

I remember when I was using martingale to play dice and roulette, I just realized that at the end of it all, it is not that the strategy stuck, at least if you want to play long it is good, but at the end of the day, it is the luck that matters in most cases.

I see strategies just as a way to guide you in the way you play at least when it comes to picking the bets and so on, but at the end of it all, what will be would be, and that is one thing I have always known with gambling. It is either you get lucky or not, and since the odds always tend to you losing than winning, you will only require great deal amount of luck to get anything from gambling or a strategy.

I personally think it's better to profit through referrals, I recently started playing on EOSPlay and their referral system is really good.

;D That is normally most part of it. Strategies are just some times ways to make ourselves happy or have the hope that it can help us get something out of our gambling activities, but at the end it is all about the luck in most cases. 
Whether  it is martingale, labouchere or name them, it is still how your luck plays out as most of the time, there is absolutely no way you can easily beat the house edge to it as they always win anyway while you will keep losing with your dream strategy.

If it helps and it is safe then you should continue to use the referrals system. But also be sure that it is benefit to others as well and not just for yourself. Because people join based on your recommendations and would expect that even they can make money and not just you.

LOL. There are so many guys believe that they are much smarter than the house but seem like almost these guys lost all their money to the house :)). No matter it's dice, sport bet or any kind of gambling, no matter how many strategies do you guys have but the winner always be the house cause amount of money the house lose always much smaller than amount of money the house get from other gamblers

My opinion is that there are no real betting strategies if the factor luck is heavily involved. At the end the house always wins.

I only believe in becoming profitable in gambling by playing poker or by betting on sports. In both you have ' a little' bit of control. Also in both you can use extra software to support you. for example HUD for poker. And for sportsbetting you have several software providers to make sportbetting profitable.

Playin casino games or slots even with a strategy will never make you profits in the long run. Cause not a single strategy can exclude the house edge

I wonder why people don't try reverse martingale.
Instead of always betting high or low, every time you lose, switch your bet. The probability of you landing a straight series of < 50% is exactly the same as the probability of you landing a perfect sequence of High Low High Low..

Regardless of the fact that martingale can't work unless you have infinite balance, you should know that regardless of strategy, it's always the same issue. The only problem with martingale is that once you start streaking those losses, is it really profitable to keep going?
10,20,40,80,160. Just after 4 more bets, you're risking 16 times the initial amount, all that for what? A measly 10$ in case you win?

Luck based games should be taken at face value, they're luck based games. Don't push your luck because you're definitely going to get burned, best strategy imo would be to just split the whole balance you feel like gambling on 3, and test your luck with three 33% dice rolls. You either double your balance, 1.5x your balance, or lose it all.  

Martiangle if you know when to stop and you are lucky enough to dont get on a bad streak at the start.

There is no strategy to win in any form of gambling games even in poker you may win when your are highly skillful but you need to be lucky enough to get those winning cards on your hands.But we need to maintain some old strategies or strategies on our own to have control in games which may not give win but saves us from losing more money and also avoids gambling addiction.

Yes i agree that all you winning rate will vary on your luck that day, and the luck will turn to you at the right time that is why if you have lots of money as your capital that is good even you are skillful person you cant will if that is only your key.

Luck-based games and  Skill-based games do really have differences because with such skills and knowledge you can tie it up or do somehow increase
your chances on winning up the game but on all sorts we do still need luck on every movement because no matter how good you are but luck isn't on your side
then losing will be guaranteed.Lots of strategies exist being used of but it wont really precisely works anytime on each gambler.

It is impossible anyway, all the strategies have a point in where you are going to end up losing.

I tried a bunch during the last time when i used to bet and gamble, but it is impossible, it has been created to make you lose your money at some point.

Maybe there might be some good strategies, but they are not 100% fair.

During time a lot of different people have come up with different strategies. Unfortunately the conclusion is that none of these strategies work always or for a longer time.

Gambling is based on luck and even in games where skill is some part of it you still need a lot of luck. Best example of this is sport betting where the referee can impact the final outcome of the game.

Tried and tested, it's a recipe for disaster. I would not do this kind of strategy again even in sports.
I believe the most important thing here is our mentality, we should change our view in gambling, instead of focusing so much of the profit, let's be realistic and continue to learn on our mistakes. Be smart to think that it's gonna be a longer process and it's only profitable if we have the skills.
For me, I used flat betting and very conservative on my money management, just touching a small percentage in every bet.

True, there are bunch of strategies already made but unfortunately none of them able to give a sure win in gambling. Gambling isn't just about strategy. The ability to control ourselves is the most important stuff in gambling habit.
