Title: Is the ‘All-In’ Gambling Strategy a Smart Move or an Unhealthy Risk?
Post by: DragonSlots on May 12, 2025, 11:12:51 AM
I’m curious to know if others in the community have ever considered the All-In gambling strategy. In a game of pure chance, could it actually be smarter to bet everything in one go instead of spreading out your bankroll over time? As you know, most casino games come with a house edge. Let’s say around 5% (Actually it's between 0.5 to 6%, and it depends). If you start with $100 and place $1 bets, you lose about 5 cents per hand on average. Sure, the results may change, but the longer you play, the more accurate the math becomes. After 1K hands, you’ll likely be down around $50.

That got me wondering: if more hands mean more chances for the house edge to win more and more, wouldn’t betting it all in one shot give you a better chance to win, at least in the short term? One crazy move could double or triple your stake. Of course, it could also make you regret it for the rest of the month if you spend the money meant for 30 days of play and lose it in 1 second, then find yourself bored for the rest of the month.

To be clear, I’m not advising anyone to do this...IT'S DANGEROUS. Personally, I don’t see the “all-in” approach as a responsible way to play. I prefer having fun, staying in control, and knowing when to stop. But I’ve seen some seasoned gamblers who really believe in it. Maybe they’ve found a kind of excitement or satisfaction that I haven’t quite found yet.

I’m just sharing the idea here, openly and curiously. Have you ever tried this method before, and what was your conclusion?

Of course all-in betting is bullshit strategy to do.

House edge can’t be experienced immediately since it’s just a small percentage on the bet.

Most importantly you will not enjoy the game if you will all-in immediately. We are gambling to be entertained while doing this will defeat the true purpose of gambling.

I do quick bets like splitting my bankroll to 10 parts but not an all-in bet.

I do not call it a strategy but it is not a bullshit for me. Sometimes I just go all in all on a roulette which I gamble most among casino games. I have lost the last 5 rounds since some weeks ago now but I just feel like not to stay long but gamble all at once. I am not expecting money from gambling. I use little amount of money to gamble and I am satisfied with it.

There are times that I use small amount for more rounds but I am very busy these days and I feel like gambling for a short time recently. 2% or less of my weekly income on gambling.

I also tried all-in betting and I end up losing all my funds. You’re lucky if you end up hitting a big win, but I believe majority only lose their money and regret their decision afterwards. Although I don’t mean to say that any gambler shouldn’t try it or just avoid it, but my advice is, gamble what you can afford to lose. You can maximize your wins by not going all-in, as long as you stick on skill-based games rather than luck-based slots or roulette.

It is totally an unhealthy risk for you to go all in in a bet when you know that you are not financially in a position to handle the risk or a situation where you lose everything. It is better to stick to a budget and stay disciplined while gambling because that habit and attitude will save you a lot of stress in the future. Gamblers who usually go all in without having any strong financial backup end up being depressed after a loss, the same loss someone who gambled within their limit will experience and let go off more easily.

The all in approach isn't for people that are struggling financially. If someone like drake the American rapper decides to go all in he wouldn't get affected much when he losses because he's rich and definitely other channels of income are going to give him the money he lost. Before you decide to go all in think about what happens is going to happen if you end up losing that bet

It is primarily an unhealthy risk just because it's not always going to work, and it's like a go big or go home mentality that is not assured in the long run. I think the best move is with care, not going all in. Once you are up, you should go out of it so you can take profit.

After 1K hands, you’ll likely be down around $50.
1% house edge equals to 99% RTP. The RTP is calculated over long sessions of play. 1 thousand bet is a very small number, you need 1 million bets on average to see the effect of 99% RTP. You should also consider that short-term, RTP fluctuates a lot and won't give you a bright image.

That got me wondering: if more hands mean more chances for the house edge to win more and more, wouldn’t betting it all in one shot give you a better chance to win, at least in the short term? One crazy move could double or triple your stake.

You answered to your question. All-in approach is like risking your life and your life is too valuable to risk on a single bet. Different people have different approaches, I don't love making such risks but there are people who do. Some succeed and some fail. I believe that all-in gambling strategy will lead to someone getting addicted to gambling, so it's better to gamble slowly and smoothly to enjoy the process.

I won't recommend this when your playing slots. An all-in strategy could be expensive in doing it. Plus, there's a little chance you can win in one go. I've seen strategies where slot players are just buying the free spins over and over again with high amount of money bets. This is also an expensive strategy and it is not recommended.

I have been playing slots for a long time and the returns are mostly below the price of the free spins.

I guess I've tried it a few times hoping to get a good return but boom it goes in seconds. The algorithms most time is designed in a way to monitor when you make changes to your regular bets. Though just a speculation from my experience in gambling. I noticed anytime you increase your bets let's say your regular $5-10 and you try to risk as big as $20 in a single game, the algorithms notice this change and you may loss that round. Going all in is a bad move for any gambler who want to manage his risk. There's no big return but bigger risk and loss will come your way. It's better for stick to splitting your risk into bits.

More hands doesn't mean more chances win if you're going out of budget, but can mean more fun time if you're gambling moderately, in fact you can still  lose them all regardless, and you can still get some wins. The point is to have fun for a longer time.

Going all in is a bullshit of a strategy, you'd lose everything sooner and end your fun, even if you win, it isn't a very good strategy. Most guys that go all in ends up redepositing and losing a great deal of funds if they're experiencing losing streak. Why not spread those funds across multiple stakes to increase your fun time in the casino and who knows, a good win might come by and not only would you've fun, but enjoy your wins too in the process

Going all-in is a short-lived way to enjoy your gambling experience. Why would anyone want that? Most people do it out of frustration or excitement maybe, but I would not go as far as to call it a "strategy".

If you need to gamble to get it out of your system, 1 bet is not going to do it. So why not just use small amounts of money instead?

I would rather bet with pennies than with large amounts of money. It is the same fun but not the same financial damage.

Perhaps it is a desperate move for someone who wants to leave the casino early. Yes, and I don't try it again, as my experience taught me about how it ruins our day. If you are a real gambler, you won't do that. Either you are doing this to recover losses, or you feel lucky. That is still not a good decision.

I'm not sure if they're still using this strategy because I believe that we have already learned. We don't say that not doing this could save us from losing, but what we are trying to say is that we should manage our bankroll properly.

I mean yeah, sounds interesting. Just that, it's boring. You gambled to play and feel adrenaline. Betting you entire bankroll all at once in one game cuts off the session to like what, 10 seconds? Like tf a person gets enough enjoyment out of gambling from 10s. But that's in terms of enjoyment. In terms of statistics wellll, in terms of the casino profiting off of you it's still generally the same. I think the only thing you saved up was the crunched up time you spent to gamble $100 in 1 game instead of 100 games with $1.

I've personally done this before BUT not at the start of a session. Imagine I'm on a middle of a session and I get a call that needs me to do something. I just go yolo at a game sometimes and leave immediately after the game, whether it was profit or not.

Going all-in strategy in gambling is not a smart move, I honestly do not recommend it to any gambler no matter how rich the gambler is, And I myself will never try it either.
There is something I normally do which I believe is very different from this, and that is, after I've been playing for a while and already running low on bankroll, and the funds remaining can only fund 5 or lesser number of spins depending on how much I am betting on each spin, I sometimes decide to put that into one spin and, I win - it's my lucky day and I get to recover some of my previous loses or maybe all, I lose - I call it a wrap, close the casino and get on to other important things.

This is the type of all-in strategy I sometimes get involved in, not the type explained by you where I have to spend funds meant for one month of gambling on a single spin, this is absolutely crazy and I will never try such, I won't forgive myself if I lose money under such circumstance.

If by "all" you are talking about budgeted money, and not all your money, then how is it more dangerous? You are literally risking same amount of money, just in shorter timeline.

More likely it's just more disappointing way to gamble, as you don't get to spend time gambling (which is the fun part for most people), and it's most likely over in shorter time.

Sure, there's more excitement over that one bet you'll make and if you win you will be richer, in which case you'll have good time for a long time. But in terms of changes, it's likely that your gambling session just ends after one bet.

No need for 'all in' strategy unless you're in a hurry to check out, if not you need to spread your bankroll to increase your chances of winning. I think that gamblers that goes all in at once are the ones that are business minded who wants to risk their funds once to get a chance to win. Some of us that gamble for fun will plan our time in a casino and stake accordingly, when the bankroll is exhausted we leave with or without winning and plan again for another day. 'All in' is not recommended by me because I don't consider it as fun, if it's not your lucky day you will lose your bankroll so fast that it'll amaze you.

The answer to the OP's question is relative.

There is no doubt that going all-in with all your money is generally a bad strategy (unless you sold everything to buy Bitcoin several years ago and you moved with your family to a tent, like the famous guy). No one should face such a risk, and too many people do.

But if you have a reasonable quantity allocated to your daily/weekly/monthly gambling activity, it can make sense to go all-in if you don't feel like it or you don't have much time to gamble. In addition, the more you spread your bet, the smaller the chances to win (but also to lose) big.

it's a non sense placing "all in" bets while you're gambling.
most of the times these are "critical" reactions by players, maybe frustrated for previous losses and want to recover.
no one (even in real life) would ever made this critical decision. Also if you have a strategy for your gambling you will never consider this possibility .

There are gamblers who prefer to go all in; we do not have the exact data on who does, but we encounter people who just prefer to go all in on one bet, they are more excited doing so, and it's their money, their preferences and that's what excites them.
Gamblers have no one character when it comes to betting, as long as they are ok with how they bet and it will not ruin their finances we cannot judge them as obsessive gamblers.
I sometimes do this when I feel the gut feeling that I will be lucky in an all-in-one bet, it's exciting, but you feel there is a regrettable feeling if you lose it.

As you have said, it's dangerous. So, it's an unhealthy risk but whether we label it healthy risk, the risk remains and it cannot be taken. Most gamblers sort to this idea when they are frustrated with their bets and that causes them to lose more. I've been one of the all-in boys when I was young and that happens when I have less money on my pocket to the local gambling games that I used to attend. It's thrilling and makes sense if you're into having fun but when the pockets are left empty, that's when we realize that it shouldn't be done and will never solve our losing streaks.

Why it is bullshit while there are many players who like to do this YOLO strategy or others call it as BIG WIN or GO HOME.
Bullshit should not be related to the strategy, but it should be more about how you deal with the result while gambling us the strategy.
Some gamblers may enjoy the game with this YOLO strategy, we never know how they feel while betting all-in.
If the question is whether it is smart move or unhealthy risk, it depends on the gamblers who do this all-in strategy.
If they are ready for the worse case, it is still healthy risk because they can accept whatever the outcome and it is even better than those who bet by small amount like me but I'm not ready for the worse case (example).

Each person must realize that gambling is just a form of entertainment. When a certain amount of money is allocated to play, that person must be clear about how long they intend to play with that amount of money and know that that money will hardly ever come back. So let's imagine that a person earns a salary of $1000 per month, after paying all the bills they have $500 left, and they always take out $100 per month to play.

They know that the $100 will not come back and that they play every weekend with $25. That person can go all-in with their $25 every week, which is fine, or they can choose to play with $1 each round to spend many hours playing with the $25. The most important thing is to have good financial and bankroll management and to know that gambling is just entertainment.

I think it's an unnecessary risk, in my opinion it's better to divide it into a larger amount of bets, in my case, I would divide $100 into at least 20 bets. I would have some good chances of making a profit, I would have fun (which is what makes me bet) and I wouldn't be bothered for the rest of the month (as mentioned in the OP's example).

I have seen some gambling YouTubers and streamers to go with such mentality of "go big or go home" and getting deep in the "all-in" "strategy".
To me it is rather a dangerous and almost pointless to anyone who wants to get entertainment out of a casino, to be honest.
Someone who does such a thing has money in their mind and do not care to have a long and entertaining gambling session.

Needless to say, most of the cases I have seen on YouTube those people who go all in end up losing all their money and regretting their choice, it seldom ends up with a happy end.
It is better to have a minimum of bankroll management and understand the value of money and only risk what we can afford to lose in a blink on an eye...

Some people may be up for the challenge, but I find it extremely reckless and unnecessary. You're risking of losing your entire bankroll in a single roll/bet. If it happens to you, then what? Are you going to deposit more money and continue the same tactic, trying to recoup what you lose earlier? It won't happen, you'll just enter a vicious cycle. The more money you wager, the more you're capable of winning, but from my perspective, the risk outweights the benefits of this so-called strategy.

Start slow, use a budget and slowly work your way. Gambling isn't a joke, such abrupt and sudden moves are setting you up for destruction.

The chances of being successful as an all-in gambler is less than 10% even though there are several variables in the all-in strategy. By definition, going all-in suggest that the gambler is sure that he will win the bet and therefore decided to put all his capital into it. This is deceptive because no one can be sure of anything in gambling as it remain a game of chance in which luck is an indispensable factor. Therefore, all-in strategy is not a recommended strategy since it will lead to serious big losses. Instead of using all-in strategy, I prefer using not more than 10% of my capital per bet so that there will be room for losses which must come no matter how careful we are.

There is nothing like infinite bankroll. If you keep on gambling from time to time, everyday or weekly with your money you will definitely reach the end point of your bankroll. Don't forget money is easily to spend but takes effort to replenish.
I like the idea of gambling all in, if you one believe the chances of wining is high on that game. Most importantly in sports betting, having multiple games in one slip can reduce chances of winning.

That's what we call YOLO, specially if you are losing already, your judges is clouded and you think of a way to get back your money very quick by going 'all-in'. And maybe there were times that this is going to be effective, but for sure this is reckless.

But I admit that I will do this strategy once in a while, and again, if I'm losing already, I just try to go all-in and if it a success like in a game in baccarat then it's quick way to get back some money and confidence as well that you can climb back and win.

I think all-in strategy is a path to nowhere and losing balance as quick as possible. All-in lost bets are most bitter and disappointing. Instead of going all-in, I think it would be better to deposit a larger amount and increase regular bet size. What is all-in for most of gamblers? Not a confidence in prediction, not a wish to maximize risk, but a greed. Simple greed. Wish to achieve maximum with least time spent. Those who wants to win more money just increase regular bet size and follow gambling strategy and habit.

The all in approach isn't for people that are struggling financially.
Don't be surprised it is actually people who are struggling financially and are desperately looking for a breakthrough that does this all- in bet. A student who desparately need to pay their tuition or accomodation rent can fall in this category. They will not think of the other possible ways to get it but rather think that if they go all in on the finals or on their best team, they will double it and pay their tuition or rent from the win.

Only those with an infinite bankroll can go all in but still it's not something I would advice gamblers to do.
Even those with infinite bankroll as you put it will give it a second though before going all in. A person with a bank roll already has a strategy, it is mostly those without bankroll and a strategy that will do this.

@OP, what do you really consider an "unhealthy risk"?

Understanding what an unhealthy risk is answers a lot.

About unhealthy risk, if you would do your research, the outcome is something that would lead to either growth or development, while an unhealthy risk puts you in danger financially, physically, emotionally, etc. By that simple definition, you can argue where gambling as a whole falls into.

So it is an unhealthy risk to an extent when you are gambling, and you are making it worse by going all in without a strategy unless going all in is your strategy.

I think all-in strategy is a path to nowhere and losing balance as quick as possible. All-in lost bets are most bitter and disappointing. Instead of going all-in, I think it would be better to deposit a larger amount and increase regular bet size. What is all-in for most of gamblers? Not a confidence in prediction, not a wish to maximize risk, but a greed. Simple greed. Wish to achieve maximum with least time spent. Those who wants to win more money just increase regular bet size and follow gambling strategy and habit.

It's obvious though that if you go all in, there is a 50/50 chance that you can lose all that money in one go. And why would a gambler do that though? We can understand that you wanted to win, but it's a reckless attack for us.

So for me, I won't do this, and I have to take control of myself before making that kind of decision. This is what I've learn from a old gambler who plays a lot of slot games. We all know though that the odds are against us, but he tells that sooner or later there will be a slim chance that lucky luck will smile on you. So you don't have to push yourself and be reckless and just go all in as the next spin might be a jackpot and so if you don't have the money already, then you just missed your chances.

@OP, what do you really consider an "unhealthy risk"?

Quite funny seeing that title from someone who is promoting a casino and knows basically everything in gambling is a risk :D

Anyhow, the strategy doesn't matter if you take a long period of time, playing 1000 days and betting $10 from the first spin will eventually end up close to playing $10 each day but in batches of $1 per spin, it's just like a parlay it will take ages to finally nail a 100x compared to strictly betting ona single games but it will happen, the same with the all in strategy, you mgith lose for hudndred of games but somewhere down the road you will get a huge win from it.
The problem with slot is that whatever you choose, you will still end up with the same balance, closer to zero than anything else no amount of tricks, strategies, distribution of bets, bankroll management or anything else can save you unless you hit like a $1 million jackpot and you quit the next second.

I’m curious to know if others in the community have ever considered the All-In gambling strategy. In a game of pure chance, could it actually be smarter to bet everything in one go instead of spreading out your bankroll over time?
That would be like playing russian roulette. You're extremely testing your luck in gambling and a single mistake could actually ruin your life. No sane gambler would do that.

A desperate gambler could tend do it if he is chasing his losses. I did that before when I went all in on a single bet because I was having a lose streaks. It ended badly that I kept thinking about it all day. That experience helped me manage my emotion when gambling. It thought me how to stay calm and avoid greed to control me.

This has been done by desperate gamblers and they think about they might hit a big luck for placing all they have. But usually those what they expect didn't happen and lots of people lost their money for taking this kind of insane decision.

That's why I'm more comfortable depositing larger balance then increase our bet size depends on the situation we encounter while playing or totally do martingale since somehow we provably enjoy using this without getting much larger stress compare doing that dumb decision to engage on bet all betting strategy. If they always do that for sure that they won't achieve something and will get disappointed on bad results they get.

That got me wondering: if more hands mean more chances for the house edge to win more and more, wouldn’t betting it all in one shot give you a better chance to win, at least in the short term?
That is so risk and crazy. Think about this... You have a $100 bankrolls to bet with $1 per stake and you lost the first round, what would make you think hopefully that when you bet your entire bankroll of the $100 in a stake that you will stand a better chance to win?

That is absolutely not advisable because you will just end up going home empty handed and in a very short time.

You either don't know which of your games if played multiple that is to bring you winning, so then, playing in the long term is what would give you the better chance to win but still. Not guaranteed that you will beat the house edge.

Definitely you will still rely on luck to win in the case that winning is not predicable but if you are to bet with the whole of your bankroll @ $100 and are lucky to win on the attempt, then you are made a successful bettor for the day because it is sure to bring you huge profit in just the short term.

Increasing bankroll just for the sake of avoiding all-in while the bet amount is still the same will just result to same risk.

The idea behind this all-in bet is to cut house edge on game and rely solely on your luck to win the one time big time bet. I don’t like this strategy because there’s no fun on doing it.

However, technically that’s the right way to gamble if you want to avoid house edge as much as possible. I’m not saying it’s correct approach rather that’s the correct strategy to limit house edge to the minimum.

Well, it is time to think that gambling gives us no assurance of winning. Spending too much is a dangerous and unhealthy decision. Let us open our minds and think that gambling could make us lose. All-in is not a winning strategy but a suicide. If we want to enjoy gambling, we don't have to chase winning or our losses. Because the more we think about them, the more they go far from us. Manage your bankroll carefully, and don't let your emotions decide. We can be responsible gamblers if we know what is right or wrong.

When you play your own money in random games you will kill all the process in one round. The only advantage is that you will save time.

It is totally an unhealthy risk for you to go all in in a bet when you know that you are not financially in a position to handle the risk or a situation where you lose everything. It is better to stick to a budget and stay disciplined while gambling because that habit and attitude will save you a lot of stress in the future. Gamblers who usually go all in without having any strong financial backup end up being depressed after a loss, the same loss someone who gambled within their limit will experience and let go off more easily.

I have never experienced that all-in bet because I prefer to play longer when the time I play lasts. Unless I am sure I will win, it is possible, however, I have never really done that.

Because it seems like it is difficult, especially if you are just starting to gamble, go all-in right away when you bet, then when a gambler's action is like this, he will think about going all-in right away, which is probably a bit of a nervousness, right?

First time I read about “unhealthy risk” - very interesting thread title, gotta say!  :D

Well, just by the words “all-in,” you already know it’s not a smart move, unless its on sports betting and you secretly have tomorrow’s sports results, which sadly, we don’t.

Going all-in is like being that gambler who’s lost control, hyped up by emotions, and starts betting recklessly. I’ve been there too, and let me tell you, most of the time, it ended with me sitting in silence, questioning my choices and promising to never do it again… until the next game.

No, just like what I said in a different thread. That’s one of the things I regret the most, going all-in. Although I managed to raise it to 0.5 BTC quickly, it also disappeared quickly. I had quite a lot of all-ins back in the day, and that's one of the worst things to do. Just pause or stop your session if you feel like you're getting hot, because most people only do it when they're getting hot-headed due to consecutive reds. So just follow your usual betting amount. Even if you lose in the end, at least you’ll make more wager. Plus, you can prolong your balance and might turn the situation in your favor.

Well, I used all in strategies in poker, which is completely different from this.

Regarding what you are referring to, neither one thing nor the other. If I were to maximize the odds of winning I would prefer the all in but as long as if you win you fold and log out. The odds are almost 50/50 and there HE does not apply so effectively.

But if you do it to entertain yourself, you are not going to play a game alone, and even less if you have gone to the casino in person. It is true that playing many times a small percentage in the long run will reduce the variance and by the HE you will lose but what you have to do is to forget about it if you are going to play a session. Deposit or change the money for the session and see how it goes.

Playing gambling games based on the luck will not recommend to use all-in gambling strategy. That will be a quick method to lose your money without having a chance to enjoy the games. Although you get a chance to win but the percentage will not too big than the lose. You don't have to take that risk instead just use some small money, best using minimum bet to enjoy the games so you can stay longer with your allocation money. Yes, that is dangerous using all-in strategy because you may trigger to deposit more money to recover your losses.

Experienced gamblers certainly do not decide to just double their bets like crazy, they have a strategy or can read the game pattern first. What is clear is that professional gamblers will not immediately place bets at once in large amounts, the possibility of placing a small amount first, when they already have strong confidence, they will do the all-in method and of course the results they will get depend on luck because the all-in method has a fairly large risk, resulting in immediate bankruptcy or producing an extraordinary Jackpot.

To be clear, I’m not advising anyone to do this...IT'S DANGEROUS. Personally, I don’t see the “all-in” approach as a responsible way to play. I prefer having fun, staying in control, and knowing when to stop. But I’ve seen some seasoned gamblers who really believe in it. Maybe they’ve found a kind of excitement or satisfaction that I haven’t quite found yet.
Every gambler is to each his own I have seen gamblers doing that; they are risk taker, and with the mindset that if they are going to lose, then they are going to lose, they are more focused on making a profit, and they don't want to prolong it.
I seldom do this, I do this when I have no time, and I am still in a status quo where I am winning and also losing, so I do all in and log off and accept whatever the result.

I have commented on this topic many times before and I will make the same comment here that gambling is completely based on luck. So no matter how good your strategy is here, in the end you have to rely on luck to win, if you don't have good luck, there will be never gonna work any strategy.

However, there is a strategy you can adopt that will help you maintain self-control over gambling, and that strategy is to set a specific budget for gambling and set a winning limit before gambling.

I agree some strategy to win that also prioritize time but of course sometimes, it's not about only winning, people also chase that thrill and entertainment. Also, they want to trigger that luck in multiple chances because in 1 try of course, it's just gonna be 50-50 or sometimes close to losing due to house edge.

Majority of the jackpots don’t happen in just one shot. That’s why people keep betting, having and taking every chance to bet.

Tho we all know that pity bar doesn't exist in real life, but people enjoy in that way, so I think it's valid for some people hoping for luck.

Yes the phrase 'All in "has now become viral among the people, instead some use as a daily conversation in their lives, although initially all in was once used as a jargon in poker gambling.

For that, although "all in" many people who say they have high dedication we understand that we are in the digital age, the times are increasingly sophisticated, for that we need to understand risks and balance in gambling, even though we are currently industry General gambling develops digitally/online does not mean that the attitude of "all in" can be used 100% in betting, it is necessary to know most of the online games are controlled by the operator/human, all in not functioning in front of humans, the city has a way to manage all games.

If you have $100 and you staked it all at once, you have two options, to win or lose all the money but if you split into half or 5 place, you can staked 5 conservative times which could still make it possible that you could be lucky once or twice and for that once that you became lucky, if you hit a big multiplayer, you have succeeded in getting a profit that surpass your initial bankroll. For me, going all in at once can cause you to lose everything just in a few minutes or seconds, so it's not really smart. I don't gamble like that, I usually like to go bit by bit.

No one should go all in on a casino game like fed-up with something and decided to spend their entire balance (decent to big amount) then it's not going to change the fate of us and we are decreasing our chances of winning with all in because mathematically you got more chances to win if you bet more times so be sensible and don't bet in a rush.

In casino games, that is a bad idea, no matter if you get lucky at that instance, i agree that no one should be advised to gamble in such a way because it is closer to ending badly than being profitable. In a casino game, the chances of winning a spin may not be up to 1/10, understanding the risk of going all in makes it not an appropriate strategy to use. People with $100 bankroll are still gambling on $0.4 per bet why don't they use $1 bet because enjoying gambling doesn't work by just how you play the risk but time spent playing and how enjoyable it is to lose some bets and win others, most at times a particular deposit can last for days instead of blowing it all away quickly.

I typically all in in poker when I think that I'm winning with the cards in my hands. But if I know that it won't make sense and have upperhand, I'll fold.

But in casino games, I don't think it's stupidity when someone does that. All-in doesn't mean that you should only do it with huge amounts but, if we have a remaining small amount of bucks, we could all in with that as well.

How do I feel about All-in bets? This is a rather difficult question, oddly enough. And the answer to it differs depending on the situation. Let's consider the situation with casino games. As such, there is no reasonable strategy here, and when playing in the long term, your chances naturally fall - that's the paradox. In other words, when playing in a casino in the long term, you are almost guaranteed to lose all your money with a probability of 99.999%. At the same time, when playing once, your chances of winning are slightly less than 50%. The probability of winning 2 times in a row is slightly less than 25%, and three times in a row - less than 12%. What do you think, in which case your chances are higher - with a one-time bet or with a series of bets or with a long series of bets? Of course, your chances of winning are higher with a single bet. In truth, chances of slightly less than 50% are very high. For the lottery, for example, this is an unprecedentedly large value. The only question is that the loss does not become a tragedy for you.

And I will use it as wisely as possible betting and enjoying what I want to do without ruining my mood. And for me this kind of strategy is more suitable for gamblers who are chasing momentary gains or more feasible if the remaining budget is only 2% or 1% left and go all in.

All-in money in gambling will give you a big risk of losing the money fast. It should not be like that because you can split the money and use the minimum bet so you can play gambling longer. Besides that, you can control your money and that will be money management for you because you don't spend most of your money at once.

More rounds could give you more chances to win although that still does not guarantee you will win. But the chance to enjoy the games will be bigger than you bet all-in at once. You will not feel enjoy or happy by gambling but you can feel desperate seeing your losses.

Sometimes there might be reasons why anyone can decide to go all in one even with there own money even for me not a good one and it is not advisable too since it reduces the chances of getting a winning. However we can consider a scenario case where a gambler might not want to to stay too long in the gambling environment and might just decide to make it all in a go and exit the premises whether he wins or losses it doesn't matter ls to him  but for some one that still want to stay long and enjoy his gambling they will not dare go in all to avoid leaving the premises so soon.

No need for 'all in' strategy unless you're in a hurry to check out, if not you need to spread your bankroll to increase your chances of winning. I think that gamblers that goes all in at once are the ones that are business minded who wants to risk their funds once to get a chance to win. Some of us that gamble for fun will plan our time in a casino and stake accordingly, when the bankroll is exhausted we leave with or without winning and plan again for another day. 'All in' is not recommended by me because I don't consider it as fun, if it's not your lucky day you will lose your bankroll so fast that it'll amaze you.
I think that no strategy is useful in gambling, because in gambling everything depends on luck, no matter how good our strategy is. And besides, relying on strategy is one kind of risk because when a  gamblers become overconfident, they stake a large amount of funds and face bad situations after losing.
So I think there is no need to rely on any strategy except setting the loss and profit limit strategy in advance. Moreover, I have experimented myself and found that even if the strategy actually works, it only works based on coincidence.

This strategy makes sense for games with high variance. For example, for roulette. However, if you lose, you really won't be able to enjoy the games until you have a bankroll again. Therefore, this strategy is primarily suitable for the person who wants to win, and not just enjoy the game process, even while losing (however, I do not believe that there are gamblers who enjoy losing, even if they say so).
However, this strategy is not suitable for people with weak willpower, as well as those suffering from gambling addiction.

In fact, in a situation where you play a gambling game (like roulette) just once and never play again, your chances of winning can be significantly greater than 50 percent.

How can this be? The roulette wheel contains 36 numbers plus 0 (0 and 00 in American roulette). Accordingly, if you place 30 identical bets on different numbers, your chances of winning are 30/37 or 30/38 (81 percent or 79 percent). So, if you play roulette once using this system, you will win with a probability of about 80 percent (which is significantly greater than 50 percent).

However, if you continue to play, your chances of winning will begin to decrease.

And as you quite rightly noted, in the long run you will definitely lose all your money.

This has a lot of if-s before deciding what to do. Most gamblers that are very rational and pragmatic I have seen they divide their bankroll into equal chunks, for example the 100 dollars they divide into 5 twenty dollars bet and they try their luck in a game of their choice or place some sport bets by doing so. Now there are of course other type of gamblers who want the maximum of adrenaline and want to place a single 100 dollars bet, usually these guys do a buy bonus feature in any game of their choice and hope for the best. Lately though in my personal experience this is the best thing to do, going all in at a game you like in order to find out immediately if you will win big or lose it all or a big chunk of it, this way your exposure to gambling will be short and as such addiction is likely to not hit someone with these attributes.

I guess I've tried it a few times hoping to get a good return but boom it goes in seconds. The algorithms most time is designed in a way to monitor when you make changes to your regular bets. Though just a speculation from my experience in gambling. I noticed anytime you increase your bets let's say your regular $5-10 and you try to risk as big as $20 in a single game, the algorithms notice this change and you may loss that round. Going all in is a bad move for any gambler who want to manage his risk. There's no big return but bigger risk and loss will come your way. It's better for stick to splitting your risk into bits.

Increasing your bets isn't a smart move even though it looks like an easy way to make profit and also too recover your losses but if you consider the risks involved it's not worth it. It's a hard pill to swallow but people who go all in are addicted gamblers, some claim to do this because of several reasons just to avoid the topic of being addicted. No bet is worth a high stake even if you are sure of the outcome.

I hardly believe on crazy strategies that would easily drained my bankroll, I mean that could easily emptied my account, and for that I count on having fun any longer instead trying to chase to the bag knowing too well that is very risky involving oneself towards a strategies that would easily drained up our balance. The real fun of gambling is playing gradually while we catch up the fun along the line, so to me I wouldn't go on all-in-one strategy trying to chase what I had already lost.

I’m curious to know if others in the community have ever considered the All-In gambling strategy.
It is either an act of desperation or excitement. Like a last act. Usually it is followed by a winning streak or a losing streak. Usually in movies we often see the main characters while playing in casinos that go all in and they usually win. Might not happen as much in real life lol.

In a game of pure chance, could it actually be smarter to bet everything in one go instead of spreading out your bankroll over time?  
How would anyone think that this is a smart idea? It is risky it could pay off but most likely it won't. You would have to pray for it to work but the chances of it happening are too low and I would rather lose with small amount of money than lose all of my money all at once.

I`ve seen lots of players with such strategy on freeroll poker tournaments. They often "all-in" in the first rounds. For such situation it can be good strategy.
When you play your own money in random games you will kill all the process in one round. The only advantage is that you will save time.
For freeroll poker or for any game in which the player is given the money for free, they can use the all-in strategy, trying to hit their luck with one shot. If it goes sideways, they accept their fate, and if it goes according to plan, they take it that way.

But for situations where the player is using his real money, I don't consider that as saving time, although the chances of losing in gambling are higher than winning. But that doesn't mean we should rush and lose it all; the longer we could maintain a small balance and gamble, the higher our chance of winning something will increase. That's my own strategy.

Sometimes there might be reasons why anyone can decide to go all in one even with there own money even for me not a good one and it is not advisable too since it reduces the chances of getting a winning. However we can consider a scenario case where a gambler might not want to to stay too long in the gambling environment and might just decide to make it all in a go and exit the premises whether he wins or losses it doesn't matter ls to him  but for some one that still want to stay long and enjoy his gambling they will not dare go in all to avoid leaving the premises so soon.
But most cases are those who do All in because of time constraints or are in a hurry because there are things that require them to leave gambling. And there are also those who do All in in determining the final bet because they are tired and want to stop, because I have experienced such a situation but the remaining balance is not too large.

And in my opinion if there are gamblers like that and only bet with the All in strategy, I think only certain people who have unlimited money can do such a reckless strategy, and not ordinary gamblers because it will only drain their bank accounts if they only do such a silly strategy.

To be clear, I’m not advising anyone to do this...IT'S DANGEROUS. Personally, I don’t see the “all-in” approach as a responsible way to play. I prefer having fun, staying in control, and knowing when to stop. But I’ve seen some seasoned gamblers who really believe in it. Maybe they’ve found a kind of excitement or satisfaction that I haven’t quite found yet.

I've seen this all in method many times in movies, and it's driven by profit and making money. I don't find any fun in doing an all-in method , only professional gamblers are doing this, and they find thrills doing this.

I prefer the natural method or small bets until I find my hunch that I should go all in, but at that time, I am ready to quit and accept whatever outcome, I'll quit, even if I lose or win.

The all in approach isn't for people that are struggling financially. If someone like drake the American rapper decides to go all in he wouldn't get affected much when he losses because he's rich and definitely other channels of income are going to give him the money he lost. Before you decide to go all in think about what happens is going to happen if you end up losing that bet

That notwithstanding,as for me,I wouldn't even call it a "strategy" that stuff replaces the word "mistake,"The all-in gambling strategy whatever is a mistake entirely.And to people who use it, having the mind that it's a strategic thinking, there's no risks management attached to it and to think that's the most annoying part for me.Please stay away from"All-in gambling strategy and attempt smarter alternatives.😁

I’m curious to know if others in the community have ever considered the All-In gambling strategy. In a game of pure chance, could it actually be smarter to bet everything in one go instead of spreading out your bankroll over time? As you know, most casino games come with a house edge. Let’s say around 5% (Actually it's between 0.5 to 6%, and it depends). If you start with $100 and place $1 bets, you lose about 5 cents per hand on average. Sure, the results may change, but the longer you play, the more accurate the math becomes. After 1K hands, you’ll likely be down around $50.

That got me wondering: if more hands mean more chances for the house edge to win more and more, wouldn’t betting it all in one shot give you a better chance to win, at least in the short term? One crazy move could double or triple your stake. Of course, it could also make you regret it for the rest of the month if you spend the money meant for 30 days of play and lose it in 1 second, then find yourself bored for the rest of the month.
If anybody could have tried this strategy and won, then I'm pretty sure it's ratio must be 1:1,000,000 (i.e only 1 gambler to be lucky, out of a million gamblers to try it). Because I literally see this as the worst strategy any gambler could ever think of trying while gambling, because it is literally the easiest way to lose all your money, most especially if you are gambling on a slot game, whose outcome are usually a product of random algorithm, unlike Sport betting that could be a bit considerable, but it's still not an advice to go-all-in, but start with it's least minimum bet "$0.2" or a dollar, depending on your bankroll.

it makes sense but how many gamblers do you know are only playing to win? a lot of the gamblers are playing to spend the time and have some enjoyment but if they risk everything all at once and they lose they are not gonna have anymore to play again which was not the intention in the first place

while mathematically smart, its impossible to do this all the time as people would want to preserve as much of their bankroll

In my opinion All In strategy is a double edge swords that tends to be in the end an unhealthy risk and personally I avoid going all in as whenever I did it , most of the times I ended up losing. I wouldn't even call it a smart move if you win a lot of all-in bets because at some point the losing streak will occur and from these kind of bets you will develop real depression , especially if you are high roller or you place random bets on random leagues on random games , thinking that the next one will be the one.  :-\

When you spend your own money mostly you don`t want to lose it in a moment. You have no any guarantees of winning, so it is good idea to have an opportunity to continue the game.
All-in can be a part of strategy, but as for me it can be used only in latest rounds of the game.  Or may be some situations when you have a choice between long time losing or fast win with small chances.

Yes, I do agree, I mean just imagine you are down with your last money, and yet you still insist that you take that risk and bet everything and then, you lost... I mean the feeling of that, for sure it's not going to be healthy on your mind as there could be hundreds of your thoughts going on and saying that if you didn't do that and so that regrets will have a big impact on you.

And worst cases, early on I have personally experienced a fellow gambler who did that. And then di the "walk of shame", crying because he didn't have the money to haul a taxi or a cab to go home. And so this is the worst gambling strategy and even if you say that you are ready, there will be thoughts of you saying that it was all wrong to do that.

People think that going all in makes you a real gambler but it actually means you are immature.A mature gambler stakes responsibly because he knows the dangers involved in gambling. Going all in is an act of indiscipline and a sign of gambling addiction. If you lose all you have due to an irrational decision you would end up regretting. In order to avoid all of that it's always better to gamble responsibly.

I do it a lot in poker tournaments, but unfortunately we're talking about live games. So I'm not going to do those strategies that can destroy my fun. I mean, I have a budget to gamble small amounts to enjoy some free time in a few weeks or even in a month. And I will use it as wisely as possible betting and enjoying what I want to do without ruining my mood. And for me this kind of strategy is more suitable for gamblers who are chasing momentary gains or more feasible if the remaining budget is only 2% or 1% left and go all in.
Permit me to presume you are very good in it, P2P games even scare me the more since there is a possibility of being merged with a much stronger opponent every time and I would be very afraid to go all in.

It also appeals more to me to be able to go on for a longer time in gambling, still within my budget which is the main reason I gamble with little amounts for a longer time instead of going all in and last only few minutes.

I typically all in in poker when I think that I'm winning with the cards in my hands. But if I know that it won't make sense and have upperhand, I'll fold.

But in casino games, I don't think it's stupidity when someone does that. All-in doesn't mean that you should only do it with huge amounts but, if we have a remaining small amount of bucks, we could all in with that as well.
Going all in can still work if you got the less likely cards to win because you don't have to win, all you need is to make everyone on the table that you're winning and that's what I call it as an actual strategy.

But in casino it's just random so going all in just taking a leap of faith without even knowing what will happen.

To those who are aiming to make money and doesnt want to have fun, then this kind of strategy would be the main thing that you will be trying out to make use on which having that all-in bet then it will be a do-or-die thing for you on which just like been said that it will be costing up that entire budget for the entire month that would be blown up away on a single bet on which it will be that a very sad thing to happen on this case.For those who do wanted to make use of their budget on gradual or slowly manner then its common sense that they will be trying out to make it by parts and whether they would be losing or winning on a particular day then this is the time that you would be having that complete pause or break or you do call it a day. Usually people do failed up on doing so specially at the moment that they've been that wanting to have more or simply being greedy then it will be that so hard to stop on this case. There are just that those conditions that some could think off well and others could not.

Its an unhealthy risks as we do all know when you do have that behavior on trying out to all in because we dont want to have longer sessions and much prefer that the game will be just that ending up on instantaneous when dealing up with luck based games and neither be going all in when betting up on sports on which it will be basing up on someones choice or preference on what type of gambling that they are getting involved into. Smart move will be only considered at the moment that you do able to stop at the moment that you are neither winning or losing. Strategy on gambling like all in is just suicide.
Majority will be not that thinking about the consequences if they would be doing it out but since they are aiming for making money then they would definitely be doing it.

There's no Wisdom in doing a thing like that, especially with that mindset -- unless on special cases of you being a big bettor, then I can agree with you. The aftermath of this story strategy hits hard like the way Martingale does... What you stand to lose might be more greater than what you're anticipating. On top of that, chances are that you might lose 9.9999 times out of 10 tries, not worth the risk at all.

in an actual sense, what sort of satisfaction can one derive from spending everything they should have budgeted for a month on a single ticket, but then still lose? I don't even want to try it. Any strategy that tells me that the more money I can bet would get me more profit is a scam.

Well, for me it's not a good idea unless you're in hurry to win/lose and don't want to stay longer. Often, this is happening if a gambler is in bad losing streak. Using a martingale strategy or going all in can recover the losses with profit, place for being desperate.

Anyway, for luck-based games, it's a big NO. But for skill based like sports or poker, the case would be depending on how confident I am.

It's a risk some people are willing to take; they say it's best they go all in and accept the fate of whatever the outcome will be, even if it doesn't end in their favour. Some will argue that they are not addicted to gambling for doing that; rather, they try to save their time and energy by making such betting decisions, knowing fully well that they could also lose the entire amount of money while going in little by little.

I wouldn't say that this is a smart move but on the other hand I wouldn't say that it's unhealthy either because in this situation I would rather say that it's too aggressive and a rash move to make as a gambler.

All in in betting is allowed but in the end aggressive moves like this should be full of consideration because you don't want to get into trouble just because you go all in in betting.
Gamble naturally in the sense that not only do we manage our time, finances and mentality as gamblers but in terms of gambling strategies and the steps we take when we gamble so that we don't fall into something that cannot be anticipated as a form of consequence.
I will not say all in is a mistake because it is also not prohibited but as long as you are not ready to lose quickly then it would be better to avoid aggressive methods like this.

Randomly in casino games is like betting all because you have to go.

But in poker, you've got the confidence of doing an all in because you know that your cards are about to win and you are the strongest for that time.

It is a strategy to also bluff, only you know it if you're bluffing.

I typically do an all in if I think that I am confident as well. But it's also a good strategy when you can scare the other hands in the table if you do that earlier. It's giving them an idea that you've got a good hand at that round so, it makes sense to do such when your having some pairs or high cards at that moment. Someone who's going to do that probably won't get a huge pot because others who will also going to do an all in at that moment is also a risk taker just as you. I have encountered with those kind of poker players before and it's a make it or break it moment.

Of course, there are exceptions to this rule when you are playing poker and you have a Royal Flush in your hands.
Also the other notable strong combinations, full house, etc...

Basically this is a strategy that is not recommended for responsible gamblers, especially those who gamble for the purpose of just getting entertainment, however, i personally have made all-in bets, have different reasons every time i do it, but most often it is caused by curiosity and the hope of getting big profits in a short time, in this case adrenaline is very high here, not infrequently when finally experiencing defeat feelings of annoyance and anger arise and of course regret.

This is very high risk, therefore it is not recommended for gamblers who do not want to lose money in a short time, sometimes placing an all-in bet looks like a desperate person, but not infrequently this brings big profits at every momentum.

I do not call it a strategy but it is not a bullshit for me. Sometimes I just go all in all on a roulette which I gamble most among casino games. I have lost the last 5 rounds since some weeks ago now but I just feel like not to stay long but gamble all at once. I am not expecting money from gambling. I use little amount of money to gamble and I am satisfied with it.

There are times that I use small amount for more rounds but I am very busy these days and I feel like gambling for a short time recently. 2% or less of my weekly income on gambling.

I consider such strategy as an all-out desperation move of a gambler especially if they are in a high-risk situation.

Normally, an all-betting strategy may work in poker as a bluff in order to trick the opponent into thinking that you have superior cards than them. Sure, this strategy works sometimes but when people call your bluff especially if you have weaker cards, expect opposite results on your end. In reality, an all-in strategy should always be considered as an calculated risk rather than a Hail Mary shot of risking everything.

However, if you consider the all-in strategy where you are in a worse position, then you should definitely be ready for the worst result. Sometimes, this kind of strategy also works in order to stop the person from gambling all together. The reason?- if they lose, they stop; if they win, they continue.

In poker? Yes it is.

Casino game? Stupidity at its peak.

No one should go all in on a casino game like fed-up with something and decided to spend their entire balance (decent to big amount) then it's not going to change the fate of us and we are decreasing our chances of winning with all in because mathematically you got more chances to win if you bet more times so be sensible and don't bet in a rush.
You are right, in poker it is a reckless move and can cause panic in some players, for that reason only the player knows in this case why he goes all in, I have done it and wow the adrenaline goes up to very high levels, in the casino I agree with you, it is something that is like suicide, it is putting luck to the test and for me that is not good, I would not do something like that with my money, even if I were very angry, it is like saying goodbye to money.

I’m just sharing the idea here, openly and curiously. Have you ever tried this method before, and what was your conclusion?[/size][/center]
All-in isn't a good method to gamble. If it was worthy, people wouldn't have developed strategies such as Martingale, which are also pretty disastrous on long run, although much better than all-in on short run. If you use your entire bankroll to place a single bet, you won't have any means to continue gambling if you lose. It means you don't have a slight recovery chance, while by using other strategies you have at least some chance of making nice profit on the following bets.

All-in is just a desperate move by gamblers who don't know what to do anymore. Probably they have already lost so much money that only a single, heavy and accurate shot could bring them back to the game. Personally, I have never tried this method, but I confess I've already felt tempted to do when I faced harsh losses in gambling...

Basically this is a strategy that is not recommended for responsible gamblers, especially those who gamble for the purpose of just getting entertainment, however, i personally have made all-in bets, have different reasons every time i do it, but most often it is caused by curiosity and the hope of getting big profits in a short time, in this case adrenaline is very high here, not infrequently when finally experiencing defeat feelings of annoyance and anger arise and of course regret.

This is very high risk, therefore it is not recommended for gamblers who do not want to lose money in a short time, sometimes placing an all-in bet looks like a desperate person, but not infrequently this brings big profits at every momentum.

That is very true. Because if you want to prolong your stay in the casino and just want to have some past time or have some fun, you will bet small and not the "all in" strategy. You can do this maybe if you are doing sportsbetting, and you are very confident with yourself that you will win with your bet. So going all in is quite a good step to earn more profits. But you should not discard the side that you can also lose even if you know the sports very well. There are still blind spots in the game that you may not integrate in your decisions.

I personally could comprehend someone using such All-in strategy when comes to sportbettting, because there are cases in which it seems pretty much obvious what the outcome of a match is going to be. But I could not understand the case of someone going all in while playing a casino game like slots, mines, blackjack, or even Plinko.
It just rather like a way to end one's casino session in the shortest time possible and deplet ones bankroll as fast as possible, getting the  minimum of entertainment.

I have seen very few cases of going All-in and having positive outcomes for the gambler, so I would never recommend anyone to go for such an "strategy", specially to novice gamblers.

Placing small bets is still the best choice for gamblers who are just looking for entertainment by gambling, as you said, this allows us to be able to play longer, can enjoy every moment and also by placing small bets can minimise the risk of loss, can create more opportunities, even the opportunity to make a profit is greater here compared to gamblers who choose the all in option that only relies on luck.

Someone said, it's better to drown than to get partially wet. I think you know what that means when it comes to gambling, it means they are better off betting with all the power of their budget than losing it all bit by bit. Not many people actually win consistently over the long term, most will just lose and lose their money. All in may not be a good approach for some people, but it might be good for those who really try their luck, especially those who can handle the risks.

I would probably bet $50 on one game instead of $10 on 5 games, it's a choice although the risk is different. I am responsible for gambling decisions, so there is no longer a problem if I lose my deposit. Losing and winning is normal, what is unusual is losing in a row and never winning.

Its the perfect solution if you only have 5 minutes to gamble, its the worst idea if you still got the rest of the day to kill time and now you got no capital for your game to have fun, all depends what do you want.    It could be the best idea for anyone ends up over thinking their gambling as you dont have time to screw it up, either you won or you didnt and a roulette might be the best thing for some people.   Im more of the drawn out variety personally and I at least want to feel like I played a game even if I lost the money while doing so but its horses for courses and each to their own.

Yep.

I think the only way to profitable in gambling is bet large amount money in short time, if you hit the amount that can recover all of your previous losses + profit, then stop to gamble forever.

If you coming back to gamble whether it's tomorrow, next month or next year, you no longer profitable because the house edge will drain all of your bankroll.

I’m curious to know if others in the community have ever considered the All-In gambling strategy. In a game of pure chance, could it actually be smarter to bet everything in one go instead of spreading out your bankroll over time?
I have considered it, and it is a stupid strategy to stick to, it is very unnecessary and risky to do. That being said, I am not gonna lie and say that I have not done an "all-in" bet because I have done it once in a while.

Anyway, if you are playing a luck based game that has a jackpot or bonus games, spreading your bankroll gives you more attempts at hitting the jackpot or bonus games than just betting all your bankroll once.
