Hi everybody,

Many people think that casino play is purely based on luck. It isn’t entirely.
While there is an element of luck to playing at a casino, there is also a large amount of skill involved. The elements that the player has in their own control can be manipulated in a number of ways to make a game more or, in some cases, less likely to go your way.

There are a lot of different strategies for playing poker, dice, baccarat, roulette, etc. You can also find useful tips and tricks from professional players.

How about you, is it important for you to learn, or do you have your own strategies and techniques?

Thanks,
Karl from Bitcasino

Card games are not my favorites, I prefer games where luck is the one that defines whether I'm going to lose or win (roulette and dice games) and so I don't have a defined strategy ... I just press the button ;D

I have said several times that I don't play for win money, just for fun. But I have tried several "techniques" and I never been successful... martingale was my biggest disappointment.

The strategies can only be applied to skill games like Poker and Sport Betting.No matter many persons claim to have successful strategies for roulette,dice and slot machines these persons are not saying the truth as you cannot have a strategy against games who thoroughly rely on luck like slot machines for example.

Sure you can extend your gameplay session by playing with a minimal bet in slot machines which makes you play longer and consequently you may hit a win.This can be some sort of strategy in luck games like slot machines.

Gambling sure use luck "A LOT!!!" you can not play without luck and without luck you can't win.


I really don't want to call them strategies or techniques, in my opinion, I would like to call them ritual or base on a game you are playing you would tend to do something before playing it, for example on dice I would like to wager a certain amount before proceeding in large wagers, and stopping on the certain amount that I think may cause me to lose some more and call it a day. but not certain techniques that may end up defeating the casino, No offense but that is what I think.

That's right. In a casino, not everything is at the mercy of luck. The games that you mentioned have a degree of skill involved. For example, you can often make your way out with some gains in a poker game even if you have terrible hands. But I think there are also casino games which are really luck-based. The skills that you need to have in relation to those games will be regarding fund and risk management.

I would be very happy to learn certain strategies and techniques from expert gamblers. Even if I have my own, it would be best to know theirs. I am not an expert gambler after all. There's always something new to learn in gambling. It is best to get them from the best.

I would like to hear and learn those strategies and this might be helping me to enjoy gambling because this might give me a chance to win any card games or it enhances my skills in card games. It is known that gambling can't be just only a luck base game especially when we are talking card games and so it is important to have this knowledge level than being an ultimate noob playing just to lose.

Not even it gives assurance about winning but this will give us some advantage over the others. This is a big help for the gambler, really and I believe that many gamblers would likely have these tricks with them.

I do believe that we should separate games from skilled based to non skilled based, and we should treat their independently.

If I play a luck based games, I do it for fun, pure fun, while if I play a skilled based game, I am usually serious and I aim to have a what we called consistency as I want to last and to be profitable in the long run.

I am completely against this topic due to these reasons:

1. In gambling no strategy nor tips will work for everyone as those are only playing 20% role in deciding final results as 80% role is belonging to luck factor.

2. When you agree with my 1st reason, there cannot be any professional players existing in gambling as your luck factor cannot be a consistent one to help you all the times.

If gambling is meant for entertainment then why you need any tips? To lengthen your play? I do not agree this as no tips will work forever. I have seen most gamblers do spend their time in gambling life in search of a perfect strategies and testing them.

For me there is common strategy I use for almost any game, in poker, blackjack, dice or even sports betting, and that is too look closely on my bankroll. All my wager, bets and gambles are usually in relation to my overall bankroll. So once I lose money I just lower my gambling amounts and when I win, I tend to increase them. After following such a strict rule I didn't really lose everything anymore more. It gets though some times when I feel like I should win and want go all in, but that is just some thought we need to protect ourselfs from.

Let's take into consideration that Karl is connected to a gambling platform and his post is about encouraging people to study these strategies so they can gamble even more :P While I strongly believe that the games he mentioned are based purely on luck, there are some players who may think they found a "trick" or a "strategy" to beat online casinos. That's all good until their account are banned for suspicion of cheating.

I think that there is room for skills in betting on sports because the success rate of betting randomly vs betting with prior research seems to differ in my experience. I also know a guy who's clearly way better than average in poker, so I can see that there's room for strategies there as well. As for dice, crash or something similar, I believe the only strategies which are indeed useful are finance management strategies like decreasing bet amount when you lose or under some other circumstances. They won't help to win, but they will help to lose less, which is also important.

In fact, the strategy I adopt while joining gambling, I try as much as possible to wager with small amounts because I become aware that whenever I try to implement a certain strategy I lose my bets. And the strategy varies from game to game, I always focus on sports because they are my favorite! So you can always choose the right matches to bet and win. Also, the luck factor remains responsible for making some profits if beside you, and vice versa.

And I don't like applying other people's strategies because it causes me some trouble!!

the martingale that we keep using to profit from dice isn't really a strategy to win a game but a strategy to earn with just a win despite the losing streak and this is still trying on luck. i have applied martingale to almost all games even if its not really meant for the game like cockfighting which is common in my country if lucky i could go home happy if not then its just another day of loss.  its another story with poker because the game really has to be played by someone who has skills.

I prefer doing it my own way for a better experience, if I try to follow other strategies it usually goes badly for me and later on i'll overthink about that loss.

While I agree with what you've said, strategies and tips still helps because gambling as a whole isn't limited to just casino games. There's also poker and sports betting where learning certain strategies helps you improve.

It wouldn't be gambling anymore if we'll not rely on luck because we all know that gambling has risks and that's what's making it more exciting. We could have our own tricks and strategies but that couldn't guarantee us continuous winning because if that happens, most of us who are applying strategies and techniques would have became millionaires now.

If you see your strategy isn't effective, It would be better to stop using it or try another strategy that is compatible with you and the game you are playing. Luck is always a factor on every type of gambling activities you do, Strategies are the one that makes the winning chance higher and put you on a better odds.

Every one of us has our own way of playing gambling, strategies, and techniques will not always applicable to everyone.

I can say that technique is one of the main idea that we need to have in order for us to gain and earn a good profit. And yes, I agree that you need always to reconsider your techniques if it is not that so effective. You need to have a good strategy and a better idea and knowledge in gambling. I may not be a professional gambler but I can say as a basic and simple idea or tips, I can say that we need to have basoc knowledge for us to be a better gambler and have a good earnings. This simple advice is definitely applicable or useful for all gamblers, professional or even newbies. Always play safe and not greedy.

i would recommend just go with sports instead. its just simple gambling, there is no need to be technical to that as long as you know the sports and the athlete. if you are betting on boxing then I'm sure you follow those boxer's careers, same goes for basketball sports because you follow the team. you wouldn't need a strategy for this, you're a fan and you always bet for the team you like. dice, roulette and slot is way difficult to implement a strategy. you'd better just praying for the luck on your side.

Not much of a strategy but more of an advice and a tip that I got from my peers: always, always, quit while you're ahead. I don't apply this too much on my gambling habit in general but just in a game or a session that I took a good profit in. While I'm playing for fun and generally my own entertainment for the most part, it's still good to turn around your entertainment into something extra money that you could spend on some things that you fancy without destroying your pocket.

For me, it doesn't really matter whether you win big or if the game you're in is purely based on luck or not. What matters the most if you want to minimize your losses is knowing when to carry on and knowing when to stop. People tend to overestimate their luck when they are winning, so they end up losing their money in the process, if everyone is fond of the concept of quitting while one's ahead, we will be minimizing our losses which is equal to winning too.

I don't belong to the many who thinks that it's only won by luck, that's absurd, otherwise people would not be interested on coming back trying their discovered strategy. There's a risk, or the chances that many not favor us but we have to understand that's how casino works, they always have the advantage but that doesn't mean we don't have a chance to win.

Those who are telling it's just based on luck, they maybe are not a real gambler, or haven't tried gambling in their life yet.

People who knows gambling and experience it, tells otherwise, the only tips i can tell is to be responsible, set up a bankroll you can afford to lose and manage it properly, win or loss, you'll be able to handle it.

Nice promotional thread but...
... coming here to say that there can be strategies, tips and tricks to win the house is a bit too much for me.
I can concede that if playing poker (f2f) luck is not enough, as the real world tension of a poker play can make a difference, psychologically, on the players.
If we talk about online games, come on, it is all about luck.  ;)

I believe that in games like dice, there is no other strategy to win the game but we have these betting systems that might help us win some. There are a lot of strategies in other games and I really like to focus on those games that require hugely on skills rather than on luck. But always remember that you can win some but you can't take down the house.

before i believe that casinos involved in skill and then later on i think that my skill wont really that matter because i can still be able to loose no matter what. some gamblers said that gambling requires a skill but im confused if il believe them or not but seeing a reply like this from a casino support makes me wanna think again that gambling really involve a skill but you only need to know how .

you mean that a casino can interupt our consistent winning ? this is true because i notice that once i won alot and play longer , the game suddenly changes . you need to be aware with this because if not, you will just notice that you dont have a balance anymore .

Poker is one if you have the skills but if you will be playing luck-based games like dice, crash, I don't think you will have edge here even if you have strategies to use. Also, sportsbetting has high chance of winning if you know the sports very well. In this game, the more you know the sports, the higher your chance of winning.

Agreed on this, a strategy or technique will not give you a winning more than one time. Instantly we'll get something striking the mind to try alternate under and over for every two rolls. This gives success, but the same when tried or experimented for the second time it ends in a big loss. If the person has got to be lucky, he could've won in the second trial. So, techniques and strategies has a role but the major thing required is the luck.

As far as I know gambling is an art that one needs to go in with a polished skill to be successful and on a personal level learning a strategy gives you a winning chance but it matters less because the house always wins.

If applying one of the popular strategies/techniques such as martingale to you play style you risk breaking the bank as its an expensive strategies to apply and this works for a few players who stick to their game plan and know when to stop.

Martingale....
Martingale with a twist....
As in....
Martingale flipped on many angles....
But the painful truth is I always end up blowing it all again after going up to a certain level

There is no any useful technique in luck-based games. The people who telling other just don't know probability to well. Each outcome is separated, so there is no chance to build some "strategy tree", like "if this happens, i will do this things, and if otherwise - i will do another things".

And yeah, what entertainment in rolling a dice or slots? Never can get it. Card games like poker or bridge this is about me  ;D

That is so true. the odds that people would win in sports betting is much higher than in those luck-based games like dice and roulette especially if you know the game since as you've said, the higher knowledge you have in the game, the higher the chance of you winning. But that doesn't mean that they will always win since there are those upsets that sometime happens.

Better not to aim taking the house down as they've got a lot of reserves that awaits you, in the long run your chance is slim winning if you'll not be playing smart.

Outsmarting the house means to quit before you lose everything, using patterns and system to find opportunities to earned from this activity is not that easy, you need to learn minimizing your emotion or better to remove every emotion and focus with how you understand the strategy that you'll going to use.

Well, perhaps there are no useful tips and strategies in gambling because, for me, it is different if we are talking about gambling that based on luck and gambling that based on skills. You cant use strategies in gambling that based on luck, like dice, lotteries, and others that based on luck. Even games that you can apply strategies, that are not pure strategies, sometimes will need luck.
However, I don't usually listen to tips and strategies in gambling but if someone will give advice, perhaps that is good for me.

Because however I look at it, most of the casino games are really based on luck. One strategy may bring you further than others but at the end of the day everything boils down to luck. Just like what you are saying, you may twist Martingale however you want, do some tweaking here and there, personalize it up to certain degrees, and so forth, it will still always end up less likely to win against the house in the long run. One variation may let your funds last for a longer while than another but the end result is a drained wallet. That is something I'm almost 100% sure of.

Techniques in spending are about all I really want tbh. I'd long believe that there are no strategies to winning any "luck-based" game, after all, all I can do is to stop myself from losing much whenever I play such games. In the case of card games such as poker, there really isn't much of a strategy imo, if you get a bad hand, fold, good card, call, or maybe bluff every now and then. There isn't much, and it all comes down to how you would play the table, and how much you could fool the others.

Probably 1 tip that I'd always think of whenever I play, its that I'd never win against the house, ever. I'd always expect to lose money rather than win whenever I exit the casino.

While there are many strategies and ways, I don't really learn them because it's just added stress. Now, this is exclusively for those games which I think are based on pure luck, which are games like dice, roulette, keno, crash etc. In these games no matter what strategy I use, result is always based on pure luck and a single bad luck can shut down the entire cards of strategy. While in games like poker, black jack, a great amount of skill and calculation is a must, even then it's based on luck on many levels, however it's necessary to learn the skills in these games to have as much advantage as we can!

Yes, we need to learn any gambling games because that is how we can play better. Even if we don't chase the win money, we still need to learn, and who knows, we can have more chances to win by we learned. Finding useful tips and tricks from professional players can improve our skills, but we still need to depend on luck.

Perhaps, if we play gambling games that are not based on pure luck, our chance to win will be bigger because we can improve the skills and make some strategies against the other players. Those games can be card games, sports betting, and other skills gambling games.

The past month, I am doing some strategies with my dice bets.

It is not something that could give you profits of course but I am just trying to do some bets using some strategies. Most of them did well in the first days but after some time, the loss streaks hit me. It is more fun to gamble doing your strategies than doing normally. I am not hoping that gambling could give me profits, it is just fun doing these strategies.

I'd never find myself being lucky in gambling and much more if we only need luck just win like lottery games.

If we are going to gamble we are meant to lose. Maybe it was fun for others but for the many, they gambling likely because they want to win, not to lose. People got crazy when they won and mostly they make a double bet as they are thinking that they can make more winnings again.

I'd never see a very effective and working strategy in gambling, learning the basics could be enough. What we all need is to have luck(sometimes) in order to win.

Though there may be some strategies which could work for some and might not for others and as there is no sure shot startegy available which could help people make money so things then come to luck. If you are lucky the startegy could yield you results and same strategy applied later gives you losses. So why does that happen is a question that could arise. Well it’s fun to play till the time you are not running behind money in gambling.

If these gamblers wanted to win, they should stick with skill-based gambling.

They can't still take down a casino but for sure, their chance of winning is higher than risking themselves into luck-based games like dice or roulette. Another thing is that there are a lot of strategies that they could use or apply that would increase their chance of winning more and if you have the knowledge, that would be even better.

I can agree that certain games involve an element of skill like Poker would be a good example and even Blackjack might be called as a game of some skill while obviously luck is required in all games. But, games like dice are really random and no matter what strategy you apply but the house edge will keep working against you and yes you may play with the same amount of funds for longer period if you are smart and manage bankroll and don't chases loses but the loses are inevitable.

There is a good chance to win when you are playing skill games and specially against other players instead of the house because the house has massive bankroll and in the long run big fish will swallow the smaller one.

True.
What most people see as luck is a die hard mixture of hardwork and constant knowledge through trial and error. It's interesting to know that a tiny piece of it is luck. And this does not work in all gambling games.


Many so called professional players won't tell you the tips they use or their strategy so it's best to discover it yourself.

I haven't tried gambling with cards with other people I only do it with my relatives or close friends,
But there are really some strategy and tricks that could work when you are playing cards like poker face to deceive others and card counting could also work on some games but only few could do it.

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

Not all the games can apply a skill to have the advantage of winning because some are only luck-based on which you don't have to do something to win the game, those strategies can only be applied for those skill-based like poker and blackjack, these are the games that I commonly play but for sure there are still many games wherein you can use your knowledge and skills so you can have the advantage of winning.

Tips and strategies coming from professional should be welcome because it comes with their experience and you have nothing to lose if you are going to take their advice, you should take their advice try it, and compare it to what that are yours so you can come out with the best strategies
of course, luck will always play a big factor but some tips and strategies are exploring how to turn that luck to your side.

If you regularly play with acquaintances, the strategy of memorizing cards and reading their thoughts through facial expressions is a winning strategy but this only applies to inexperienced players and gambling for fun, instead of money, if you are actually dealing with semi-pro players, real casinos, you won't have any chance of winning. The casino has never been the right place for the unskilled like us, even when I received advice and strategy from a pro gamer, the chances of winning are still not when I understand that I have no talent in the field

I'm not really keen on strategies, I always say they work, until they don't. I also always say, you should know the odds, and probabilities, and have fun. I'm almost strictly a martingale guy, easy and simple, and that limits how much I can play, lose or win.

But if you play dice a lot, for example, or sports, and you're loyal to a few bookies or dice sites, then it's always a wise strategy to build up your levels first before playing most of your time there. Why? Loyalty. Every bookie or dice site I'm at gives you benefits for loyalty -- measured usually in wager amounts.

More cashback, lower house edge, cheaper fees for withdrawals, less juice, boosts. These ALL add up.

Best way to gain loyalty or wager amounts? Microbetting on lowest payout and lowest house edge. Stretch that dollar, let those satoshis martingale themselves;) I'd go for easy 1 to 5% bankroll profit on tiny amounts. Then use those 1 to 5% as microbetting on lowest payout. When that's busted, rinse and repeat.

Doing gambling for over a decade now and no matter what side I've looked at, casino games e.g dice, roulettes are slots are all luck-based. How come you can increase your chance of winning if you are dealing with the site house edge.

Can you elaborate on how these games can't be considered luck-based?

Technically, work on a betting strategy instead of thinking on a strategy on how to win literally at that kind of gambling games.

If there’s a good strategy to win on gambling, then I’m sure many casinos will not allow it and you’ll get banned later on because you are playing against the goal of the casinos, which is to make money on you. Strategies might work at first, but later on when the system finds the unusual transactions with your account then you’ll be tagged and you should know what’s next for that.

Yes...
This is due to the house edge....
thats why its always a better idea to go for casino with a house edge of 1% or even lower....
Sometimes I believe just maybe if the house edge is smaller than 1% there could be a possibility of being in the positive if you wager systematically....
I mean the house edge could be overcome

There you go, right there, good strategy from professional gambler!

Okay, maybe you're not a professional gambler, but the strategy still stands.  Maybe we can't beat the casino unless we are extremely lucky, but at least we can get everything we can out of it.
Loyalty programs can be pretty good at some of the casinos, especially rakeback bonuses. I mostly gamble on roobet and yolodice and both of them have rakeback.

Really greatly differs based on the situation, the game you're playing and even the casino you are playing in. For sites like Betfury, where you are given the chance to stake, its optimal to go for that while minimizing your losses too. By the way, AFAIK Betfury gives everyone who gambles in them the ability to stake their BFG tokens which can then be withdrawn into real money, so you're getting paid to gamble, and this is besides your possible winnings.

I will choose both, there is no perfect and establish strategies when it comes to gambling, it's better to take a look and check other gambler's strategies and test it, if it works then you can integrate them into your own, gambling is luck based but you can manipulate that luck in some ways.

In card games, I play what my mind tells me what to do and don't want to do. If I feel like it's not what I have to do then change it to another decision. In poker, If I think my card is not much value to win then I will base my decision based on the decisions of the other players whether it's a bluff or not.

I always wanted to learn different strategies from time to time, and I don't rely only on single technique. Seeking tips from professional players would be a great idea, because you can live all alone in gambling you also need the advices of other people. Even professionals need others to cooperate with them in order to successfully build up their best skills on it.

Well, you don't need to do it since you are just playing with your close friends and your relatives. As card counting is effective to use, the problem is that it is so hard to do and obviously, it is banned in casinos. Bluffing on the other hand can be done by a lot of people and be successful depending on how they use it.

There is nothing wrong on playing casino games for fun and based on your luck because bet games are made for entertainment and not for earning. When you really want to earn while having fun, that is when you need to learn different strategies and enhance your skill as a gambler because pure luck never always wins. You need to learn from different situations and different scenario while you are playing gambling and you need to memorize how the play goes and what is the possibility of the winning goes. You also need to learn how to mind read other but you can learn that thing on a simple psychology class because you need to know if the enemy is getting nervous and if knows the he will lose on this round so that you can raise your bet. In Team betting or sport betting, you also need to learn how to do statistics because you can base on that but you also need to deep study about the two team because there is a lot of factors you need to consider like injured player or substitute coach or training schedule.

It only matters for games where you can actually gain an advantage in - e.g. Poker, Blackjack etc.

For instance, I watched a lot of Blackjack Apprentice videos and found it to be super helpful in terms of bankroll management and dealing with heat. Similarly taking poker masterclasses can give you an edge against other amateur players for sure.

But when it comes to sheer games of chance such as dice, then no - there is absolutely no point on taking courses from the so called "experts". They're not going to give you an edge whatsoever and could probably charge you exuberant amounts of money for their lessons.

Hi, Karl, I hope you are healthy and not infected with COVID-19, which is still spreading right now. And thank you for making this topic, because
in recent days I often experience losses playing gambling. Maybe in this topic I will find some strategies that can be used when playing gambling.
Although indeed I play gambling just for entertainment, so I don't really chase victory when playing gambling. But if I have a losing streak, it makes
me in a bad mood. So sometimes I want to taste big winnings too. Hopefully in this topic I can find tips that I can use to play Dice, Roulette, and Poker.

Hey Karl,

You really Making Boost gamblers in this forum everytime you create your own thread , there is no Bias opinion from your part instead everything is in fair judgement.

Actually in past i believe that gambling is Purely Luck and you'll win  if Luck is your friend that time, but since i start to get involved in Online gambling and play more ? and meet many online Players here in forum , also in joining events ?i prove that there are chances to win even Luck does not Favoring you , and that is indeed .

Thanks for this another enlightenment and i Know this comes from the heart and not for Business.

I was wondering the same and as a casino owner they should be well aware that gambling is all about luck and if someone calls it a skill-based game then either they are talking about betting on chess or sports otherwise there is absolutely no way gambling has much to do with skill.

Can you please mention which games are there that you play and are dependent on player skills rather than luck?
I really cannot find any such games out there.

Yes, the provably fair system at least ensures the house edge is actually what is mentioned unlike some slot machines where the whole system is rigged and no way to determine house edge.

That's right, gambling games are not just all about luck and fate. If you get to play those games that requires skills and experience, you'll depend on those once you found out that you can do it with those.
It's a continuous learning, a gambler or any person that wants to excel in one thing has to learn non stop. I don't have my own strategies, it's like when I'm lucky for that day and what I do works, then I'll just keep doing it until it dries out.

Your own and others strategies are worth using if it is effective, it's not bad looking and checking other strategies, a wise gamblers always look for the best strategies to implement, analyze each other strategies and come up with the best method to implement whether it is coming from his own or from other gamblers.

I agree with you, learning is important in every part of life. Education is what makes us different from animals. We can learn from our surroundings and adapt to everything new that comes our way. Gambling is exactly the same, we are making mistakes and losing so we need to evaluate our strategies and make necessary adjustments. But we need to distinguish losses that are actually due to a bad strategy, and losses that are due to luck. Luck definitely plays a big part in gambling.

Experience is our way of learning from mistakes. And if we end up having a new strategy, it is part of the resolution through our experiences. There is nothing wrong if you are losing and your games are luck based. But you need to accept that losing is really more in gambling.

Sports betting? There are a lot of games where you can bet that is hugely based on your knowledge and skill as you can make adjustments on your bets based on your analysis of that team or player. If the other player won, I don't think that is luck since every player has their own time of day when their performance is so well. Those are the games I am talking about.

Why talk of sports betting? The discussion here is all about casino games. Sports betting is not a casino game. I think it is not even a game.

There are casino games which are not really 100% dependent on luck. The likes of dice games, slots, etc are luck-based while games such as blackjack, texas hold em, etc are not 100% dependent on luck because you've got to play your cards. So you can maneuver against stronger cards if you have the skills.

it's not a casino game but I think it's a game because you are playing by predicting which team will win. Anyways, we don't have to further discuss that because overall what we are doing is gambling, regardless of its form.


Lots of games actually, most of them are card games, my favorite is poker, though I'm not making money on it but I admire people who made a fortune being a poker player.

That's what I also noticed. Most card games require a certain amount of skill. There is still luck involved but there are also certain strategies which allow those unlucky cards or hands to somehow compete with the better hands or cards.

I have played poker many times among friends and workmates. Most of the time, the money is just rotating among the players. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.

I am also amazed at world-class poker games. The players are playing in such a way that the phrase poker face is well justified to be originating from them.

Well, he's asking about a game that is not dependent on luck and dependent on a player's skill that is why I brought that up. Poker and Blackjack is also one of those games that don't depend on luck if you want to focus on casino games but still, let's be real, it may be a skill-based game but you also have that times that you need to rely on your luck.

I'm no professional but I did this and I continue in doing this simple trick that helped me save a couple hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. It's no magic trick. Just self-control. I follow a gambling regimen where I automatically stop gambling when I reach a certain win amount per day, or if I lose a certain number of games. I believe in the saying that avoiding losses is a win in itself, and frankly, I've felt like I've been winning ever since I tested this strat. You should try this tactic out brother. I get that losses and gambling for money can indeed be a pain in the butt and can oftentimes lead to even bigger problems. Start this tactic as soon as you can.

That's exactly the fact and should everyone bear on their mind. Gambling isn't base on skills it most likely is based o luck.

I don't hear such news, because it is rare to solve the problem of having such kind of ability that we could believe him. That's why if you will gamble, don't follow on self claiming they are pro. Learn to have some research so that you will not rely on others.

Just gamble because you enjoy, not for seeking money.

It's a strange topic - games for luck and games where there is at least some element of skill and dependence of the result of the game on the player are dumped in a heap. I think OP is not very experienced in gambling, so for a start, he really should read the advice of professionals. I think there is a lot of such material and he can even start by watching the relevant videos on YouTube.

Well said, if someone is successful out of gambling then they're not Pro gamblers. They made fortune out of luck, so we need to have our own strategies and luck to be successful through gambling. There are teams that made study about the casinos and failed them winning millions. They can be called Professional Gamblers. :D

I could see where your getting at but if you know how to roll a certain way in dice, you can actually have higher chance to land your numbers than others who just do a Hail Mary dice throw, I don't know if that is a real tip but I have done it a long time ago and in my experience, a certain dice throw can help you get your numbers much higher. Lottery can also be based on skill, the statistics is just too big and the players that play it are just too dumb to do it.

A wise gambler will know if that strategy can work for some time or not, and the best part is that gamblers will know when he must stop gambling. He will not force himself to use the other strategies if the situations are not right for him. His intuition will tell him that time will good or not to continue gamble, and with his experience, he can analyze everything needed before he decides. That is why some people search for the strategies that will work for him and test it to find the other strategies.

If you try this method in other gambling games, it might not work. The reason is that card games are something that requires simple  abstract thinking and common sense. Here luck can seem to be effective.
For poker and disc, you have to calculate your games factually else, the prayer will loose more than he or she is winning.

Seriously, I feel nervous when playing card games, I indulge in luck but we should have to be wise enough, using our skills and knowledge which could possibly attract our luck. ;D

To be honest, gambling couldn't be relying on luck but we should have to do something in order to win. If we are playing any card games or putting a bet in sports betting without basis, that is really no work. You are certainly giving your self to lose your money. That is why we have to learn something from knowledgeable gambler or to watch in youtube.

Both skilled-based and luck-based gambling are different thing, if you have knowledge and skills for a game that is considered as skill-based gambling then that should be the game that you have to play so that you can have the advantage but if you only looking for a fun and you don't want to have a hard day learning game then you may go for luck-based gambling on which you don't need to do something to win the game but only to wait for the result of it to know whether you win or lose.

Mostly we do have luck-based games only, but yes if somebody has mastered an art in certain skill-based games like in cards specially you can have a good advantage over other and can make good money from it. But again, luck factor is very important as sometimes in skill based games too little luck if it’s your favour can lead you to big wins.

So which is which ? what are those gambling that Based on Luck and what are those for skilled Base ?
because for this to be learned then you should Give example , games are more luck but like what Karl says it is still our strategy that matters all.

the only strategy I can think of about dice, baccarat, roulette is money management while playing these gambling games(I don't even sure if it is a strategy). these games heavily relies on luck and I am sceptical if a "strategy"(other than money management) that would influence the result of the game actually works in these games.

It is indeed more like that. Dice, baccarat, and roulette are more dependent on luck than skill. You just place a bet on a color, number, range, odd or even, etc. All these are not going to change because a player is doing something which the others are not. So therefore luck is the main player as far as the game results are concerned. And more often the reason why gamblers of these games are going home with a big loss is that they lack money management.

Overspending habits make people go crazy and sometimes we forgot time especially when are enjoying the game but in the end, it was a surprise that there's nothing left in our pocket.
With all these games mentioned, luck is what we need, nothing else. Skills and knowledge could either give help but above all, there is nothing more about luck. If we don't have this thing, we can certainly imagine what will happen to us.

I don't think any strategy or skill works when it comes to gambling. Luck is the main thing here, because you know that only 20% of casino players will win, and the other 80% of players will lose and lose their money.

However, your skills and strategy play a very important role in sports betting. If you check a team well, and bet on that team then you have a chance to win there. So skills and strategy are very effective in sports betting.

Hi guys,

Thank you for your comments.
As I can see there are some of you who think gambling is just based on luck and some who are convinced that learning strategies could boost your gameplay.
In our blog, we have a separate section of Tips & tricks (https://bitcasino.io/blog/tipshackstricks) where you can find all kinds of advice about gambling.

I am not here just to promote our site, I wanted to figure out how many of you are actually reading that kind of material, and are you practicing it.
Would it be useful to find some tips also from some professional players who do believe in strategies and applying these?

Thanks,
Karl

This very statement, I don't totally agree.

Luck is use when the game is luck based, but when the game is skilled based, use your skills, that's the way to treat gambling. It started with how we see and think of gambling, example in sports betting, if you think you can only win through luck, you'll never grow as you'll not challenge yourself to experiment and learn how to cap games.

Can someone please suggest me strategy or tips how to increase amount wagered in safest way or with minimum losses.

Some competitions in Games and rounds (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=71.0) require to wager the amount won. For example I can win 50$ and I need to wager 50$ to be able to withdraw my winning. I can place a 50$ bet and fulfill requirement, but I can easily lose in a second. I can play dice with 50/50 result, autobet  and 1 cent bet, for example. And wait a week to wager winning. But imho this seems wrong. There must be an easier way to do this.

Or some casinos have level system and with higher level give higher cashback and other bonuses. To level-up, I need to wager a lot. It is easy to level when you are not limited with funds. But when you have several hundred bucks and need to wager 0.5BTC this might be a challenge.

Even the professionals loss in gambling. In reality gambling is much depending on luck and strategies/tips increase the chance of winning. With gambling one in ten makes money while the rest loses to the house. Gambling is all about fun, and to win in gambling sports betting is good. To check your luck casinos is the right choice.

That's right, in the end it is luck that determines the success of our strategy. Even if we play poker with a very good strategy, but the cards that were dealt last do not suit our strategy, it can be said that luck is not with us. when gambling is not provably fair or lucky spin or similar games, then the strategy must be carried out, including in making decisions for every play.

That's right and its based on mathematics and I saw a thread where someone rightly said, 2+2 will always be 4 and no matter how many strategies you apply you cannot change that because its proven. Similarly you will always lose because the casino has an advantage against you at all times.

Like you don't feel fun rolling dice some players don't have any fun playing the card games so it depends on the player. I was one of the guys who used to roll dice all day when I first heard about primedice years ago, but now I myself feel bored and quite boring.

Taking advice from gamblers in a casino is the last thing I would do as is lending money to gamblers. I believe people who give advice are overconfident gamblers who lost everything and now are looking to gamble with others money by their tips and predictions, like sports betting.

Actually when you are playing dice, roulettes and other games that are only based on luck then I think there's no need to have strategy or any tips I can provide when that's the game, but when we are talking about card games especially poker, baccarat and blackjack then probably you need an extra effort in order to have strategy in order to win. In poker you doesn't need an high cards or good cards in order to win, all you need to have is confidence to bluff the other players so that you will be able to win the round, but this doesn't effect always you also need to learn when to call and when to fold.

I do believe that the games can be divided into :
1. Skill Based
2. Luck Based

For the skill based games such as : Poker, Games related to Cards. They do need a lot of experience and honestly you won't be able to compete in the same games if you do not know how they work.

There are techniques that can be used for example people might :
1. Count cards
 Now the thing is it can be done during an online game but one should understand that this won't work 100% but will increase your chances of winning statistically.

For other kinds of games there are things that you can try like the martingale strategy but I do believe that it does not really mean that you will win but they will just increase your odds.

Luck is a factor in every single game what matters is where it is a big factor and where it isn't.

You can also add from skill based, knowledge-based like sportsbetting.
The more you know the sports, the higher your chance of winning.
This is the reason why a lot of sportsbettor can make this gambling a living.
Especially those who knows the sports at all angles and at all aspects, even knowing the personal life of the athlete.
It is like, they live and breathe the sports. I believe, sportsbetting is not totally luck-based but knowledge-based.

When it comes to gambling then the only thing i do consider where strategies or skills can be applied is through card games and sports-betting and the rest like dice, roulette etc?
Is purely luck-based ones which simply means you wont really be needing any strategy with that and even if you do then those are just typical ways on how to bet into those games
but the odds of winning in the long run wont really change up unless if you do able to take profits and completely stop mid-way then that would be considered as a good call.About
on the question on hearing out tips and tricks? no i dont and i just love to use my own than on hearing others way.

Main factor or things needed to win.

•Luck
•Skills and Knowledge
•Intuition/Guts

Depending on what kind of game you are playing on and you would eventually discover on your own self on which one
does really depend on luck and which one does need skills/strategy the most.
Application will depend on where it would fits.

I've had been a roulette and blackjack lover since long time and I can say that there are chances of games going in our favor when we have higher probability of knowing where to bet and when to bet, and the most important of them is how much to bet and when to stop. If a gambler recites these things and plans to stop once a target is reached, there are least chances a gambler will lose and will even make exceptional profits in the long run (except if the house edge maintains to beat us whenever a site commits cheats to stop letting their users win).

I prefer to spend my spare time on live card games but the unfair conditions can lead to a long red streak sometimes. For hitting the green, I prefer to gamble on high roller tables but I leave that table if the game session doesn't give back anything after 5 hands. The gambling strategies are not reliable in the long term, maybe at the first sessions it will work but the house always wins at the end. Beating house is almost impossible, so I prefer to play low house edge games like Blackjack and Baccarat.

I confess that I found it interesting and liked the strategies of some users of this topic.
I recently started gambling, I am not an expert on this subject (as I said in other topics), but I bet just for fun and to spend my time. Basketball and Boxing are my favorites, especially NBA.

I dropped by quickly on your link. And, man, was I amazed. Those are a lot of strategies, guides, tips, etc on all kinds of casino games. Will definitely spend some time reading one after another. I won't probably read all of it of course. I will only be reading those which are in line with my favorite casino games such as blackjack.

Some titles are somehow controversial for me such as How to win the lottery... So probably I will also be checking out those for curiosity's sake. We'll see if I agree with the experts' opinions on certain games.

There is no specific strategy so far that I am aware of, because even though I won using strategy A on that day, in reality using the same strategy the next day does not guarantee that I will get the same win. So I feel that there is no specific strategy because it's just about mentality and how much we like gambling, until you finally have an experience that will certainly give you a strategy to put into practice.

professional players are too professional to not talk or share thier own strategies and why will they share it when that was working for them ? and if they share it their opponents will know thier preparation and beat them if that is a head to head game like poker .

i can get strategies to gamblers that are not so professional but im afraid that it might not work .

i choose to make my own strategy because im more sure of my self than them .

Even some youtubers who claim to be expert winners are not entirely truthful. Many of them won't want to expose their strategies to avoid oversatulation. So they can just say things for the views.
Your best teacher should be your own experience. You will lose but at least you will learn to play well.

Well, this is like what happens with trading strategy, a lot of people just sharing about how to trade and learn indicator but will never give his original strategies. Following other players strategy will make us loses more money. sometime that strategy are missing and the gambler doesn't have a reason to blaming other person because his losses.  Learning from own mistake will be the best think for us. If we are being luck because of running a strategy, so we can try it for another one to make sure its working well to minimize our lost.

Gambling is a never ending thing for us to find out what strategies would work and what strategies are not but overall speaking all of those things doesnt work guaranteed.

Some people might share it which they say it is actually working but to know that not all that works for them works for you.It all matters with luck and all of us do know that.

Professional players? I do only consider these players on that level are into those who do play poker and sports betting in a decent winning rate or simply on the profiting side.

Gambling enjoyment is much more worthy to be felt when you do gamble on your own without needing following others suggestion or recommendation.

I think that you will give us the tips and tricks as a professional gambler.
Well, every gambler has their own strategies, this, and also tricks in which it may not work for every other gambler.
And I am also not sure enough that a professional gambler will tell us their tips and tricks here, I am sure that they will only tell the common tips, nott the secret tips and tricks that they commonly have.
ANd I am also here, actually searching for this.

I think I don't believe in YouTubers because as you said, they will not tell the truth. Most YouTubers only care about getting more subscribers because that means, they can make money from them. They can win on that game, but that is only for some rounds, and the next rounds, they will lose, but they will not say to the viewers.

But still, it is worth learning from some other gamblers' tips so that we can get more experience from them. By learning from them, we can make a strategy that can work for us. But we need to remember that the strategy will not work every day.

This what i think ever since Karl until i met a Good gambler that wins many times than Losing , and he tells me some stories that changed my views in gambling forever.
 This is what i am trying to expertise now , yeah will take time but i won't surrender until i find ways to.
Yup karl , we are lucky that aside from Experts Co-Gamblers , there is You , even as a Gambling Site representative Yet the concerns for gamblers are indeed truthful , Spreading Good thoughts for the benefits of the players in this forum.
Still Learning now , but i know at some point that i will be Good at it, maybe not today but Soon.

Thanks Karl, you really bring Good in this thread.

That is exactly the case there are not strategies, else all who play would make money if there was startegy and gambling sites would have to shut down their business if they do not make money. For that moment you might win using that startegy but next moment you might even lose so that means there is no formal strategy that guarantees a win.

Strategies can only be applied usually on card games like poker since there are different styles, strategies, and ways to win on it. Even with the ugliest pair if you know how to deal with your cards you can outplay any cards by bluffing. However on dice, I am not sure if the same can be applied, it is all based on luck and bankroll management.  Reading tips and strategies for gambling is not that bad, but we all know luck still plays a huge role when we speak of gambling.

Beating the house isn't almost impossible, it's totally impossible :P because they have the exclusive advantage of house edge which we don't have, so technically, what we are doing is "gambling" while what the casino is doing is purely "business" and this house edge is what distinguish the gambling and business in either side ;) if there was no house edge, both party would be gambling and both would have the chances of going bankrupt :D

Exactly but they add something called variance to the house edge to make the gameplay irregular before reaching a certain amount and then the house edge come into play.This variance is what makes slot machines change their RTP to give out more than 100% when in fact the theoretical RTP is for example 95% and this is what makes us coming back to play slot machines although we now there is the house edge.

That's the trick there, gambling house are keeps on showing left and right means that they are keeps seeing potential earnings from this business, else, like what you have said they maybe gone by now.

In most cases, strategy may work with one person and not with other one, even they'll be using the same system,
the chance of losing still high unless you also keeps enhancing your method, you can try working and find what suits
you and what will be the best way to increase your chances of winning.

It's not all the time based on luck since even if we place on the game of chances still we need some brains to put up so that we can figure out on what is our next move. But in this type of category we cannot really rely on the strat we do since for sure it will be busted in the long run. Although many got profit on this but those people knows when to quit and won the jackpot.

Hello Karl, I hope you and the Bitcasino team are always healthy. I am among those who like to play on Bitcasino, and I got some experience playing
there. I think the best tips when playing gambling is how we control our emotions. Do not play gambling but our emotions are not controlled,
we will continue to play until our capital runs out. If we play gambling with controlled emotions, I believe we know when to stop gambling. Do these
simple tips, we will be surprised by the results.

Hi Karl,

A lot of casinos have their own "original" games that are not developed by 3rd party developers. I have found that the casinos will always offer a higher RTP on their own in-house games and for that reason I would much rather play that, than having to dump a lot of money into games with a very low RTP percentage.  ;)

Some review sites offer the RTP on many of the Slots that are on offer on most casinos, so I always look for the Slot with the high RTP (Return to Player) and I play them more. (You will still lose money, but you will be entertained for a much longer period)  ;)

I rarely follow certain strategies but I have to say those tips and tricks are definitely helpful especially the one about soft hands as blackjack is one of my go to casino games.  ;D

That is true a lot of us tend to get carried away when we're in the moment, imo it's okay to gamble with emotions but you need to know your limits and consider taking breaks when you're having a bad gambling session.

When I was an active gambler, I did noticed one thing, if I first started to gamble anytime I got money, I do gain a lot, but if I continue to gamble, I will later lose the gain and also later lose the whole money, including the one I first start gambling with. That made me known that gambling is very risky and discipline is very important, else, it can lead to losses. Anytime we gain, we should just stop to gamble, but many people will want to gain the more, but later lose more than they can think. We should build good risk management, but not only that, we should also build good mind set and discipline. And lastly, gambling should be for fun to make us have all these qualities..

Sharing is caring these experts and professionals have also learned their tricks from past experts and their mentors, so they are sharing these tips and strategies to help newbies and those who are starting out and if I am a newbie I will accept these tips and tricks, so I can prevent my losses from simple things newbies are likely to commit.

If the game has a negative expectation value, and If you can't physically manipulate a slot, roulette or baccarat, count cards, etc., you will always be behind. No 'techniques' or tips could help you overcome the negative expectation.

This is the reason for me to stick to sports betting and poker. The only slots I'm playing are some penny slots, rarely and only for fun.

That is so true.

These luck-based games is really hard to win since, well, you are basing yourself to luck. The tips people would be telling to those gamblers would be:

1. Stay out of it, and
2. Just bet an amount you can lose.

If they wanted a higher chances to win, stick to skill-based games like poker but they should remember that they are still gambling and they can't take down the house. It is just impossible.

A gambler can not manipulate, but well they can do that one or two time, but the rest of that, they will not do that and will lose their money.

If you stick to sports betting and poker, you should have good information about selecting the right team, and you should improve your skills and info to have a bigger chance to win. Sports betting and poker can be a good solution to gambling as that type of gambling game does not always rely on luck. But always be careful to manage your money to be used to gamble.

There is a point with it, those skill-based gambling cannot guarantee you a straight win or a 100% win, it only gives you an advantage in the game, well that is way better than a luck-based on gambling on which you'll just going to wait for the output of the game and that kinda boring for me but there are still so many people who are playing those games because some of them have a huge amount of prize pool like a lotto roulette wherein you can be a millionaire someday once you have won the mega jackpot.

Yes I have my own startegies in different kinds of games, before did not use any startegy because I based only to the luck but I still won during that day. We need to know that using strategy will not gives you assurance that you win but increasing the chances of winning or pdecreasing of losing your money.

Tips and guide is very nice when you are beginner because you have idea what you are going to do, but after few days of playing gambling you must create your own startegy that can fit to your or you think it's gonna work but getting help each others is good like if you get it to the professional players who win a lot of money in playing gambling.

There always a probability that black bar will be 1000 games long while white - only 1 or 2  ;D
Yep, this is not often to happen, but variance  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance) for dice games as i remember enough high (will check it later)

Interestingly enough, even in games where there is a dependence of the result of the game on skill, in the end the situation develops so that luck becomes decisive. This is mainly because in card games (or any other gambling) the skill ceiling is very low (compared to Go or Chess) and top players reach it easily.

Actually this is the only *strategy* that works in gambling games which are purely based on luck. A gambler must know how to manage his bankroll properly to extend the period of time he can enjoy gambling while not bursting all his profits chances at once by impulsive behaviors.

I could compare the gambling activity to tasting a delicious dessert or meal: some people go avid over the food, eating fastly and agressively to finish it fast. For this reason they don't feel any pleasure in the end.
While others eat calmly, enjoying the flavors and the moment at all.

With gambling it's the same thing: those who become impulsive enjoy nothing, while the professional ones will enjoy each minute of their experience, probably playing more with less.

Well, I mostly consider using strategies as stress and time waste because strategies are of no use in games based on pure luck but sometimes I think, players who believe that strategies actually work, actually do gain and make money off gambling at a higher rate than those who play randomly, and it's because of psychology and placebo, because a player feels that their particular strategy is working will play with a more calm mind than one who's playing randomly and has the fear of loss, when we think positively, positiveness follows, even in luck games!
