In games dominated by chance- dice, slots, and roulettes, a streak is usually just a normal cluster of positive outcomes. Luck/ randomness creates streaks both ways, good/ bad. Most gamblers usually assume that being on a winning streak means that luck is on their side, but statistically speaking, it doesn't change the probability of the next outcome. What matters more here, is whether or not your decisions remain disciplined. Increasing your stake size cause of a few wins usually turns into disaster. Not saying you shouldn't take risks, but don't make the mistake of thinking you're invincible. Streaks usually feel meaningful with emotions, but mathematically/ statistically, they don't guarantee anything

Yes, in fact, winning streaks are nothing that exist in reality, they are reconstructions we make of past mathematical events. It is a very human way of projecting regularities in order to understand past events. But as for the upcoming event, or in this case the outcome of the next bet, they don't tell you anything, contrary to what many people believe.

To sincere, I do not even think that winning streak is luck or losing streak is luck, to me I seriously believe on randomness and one could be that lucky enough to get it at the random position where the winning is streak is positioned for that person to be winning at that very moment. Sometimes, when they are on losing streak they would feel that things are getting worse and of course anyone who is on long losing streak should be that worried because there is no luck on them, where they would now be feeling that increasing their bet size is the best option without knowing that they are also doubling their problems.

You can move this topic to the gambling discussion section.

You might be right, everything around us is by chance, the result of the dice, roulettes failing on our favorite number and then you think that you are lucky. But if you look closely the next result is independent of the previous one, but we gamblers tries to connect everything, and blame everyone. As for increasing your stake size in the next spin, then that is the very definition of gambling, you are betting on a unknown outcome, so it could work with your or you're going to lose. So everything is up to you, listen to your guts not to increase your bet, or even better stop betting and take that win. Or the feeling of illusion that you are in control so you continue to bet. So that's it for us gambler, risking everything.

To me it seems very simple. It would be a mistake to think that a few wins in a row in games like dice, slots or roulette mean that luck is on your side. These are completely random, so there is no guarantee that if you win today you will win tomorrow too. I have seen many times when people get a few wins, they increase the amount of bets in excitement and in the end they lose big. In fact, what is most important is to keep yourself in control.
You can take risks, there is no problem but it is not right to think of yourself as being in top form all the time. Streaks sound attractive but in reality it is not safe to rely on them.

A winning streak can feel like a sign of luck, but it’s really just randomness. The real danger is letting emotions change your decisions and once you increase bets out of confidence, that’s when losses hit hardest. Staying disciplined matters more than any streak. A smart gambler isn’t the one who wins the longest streak as it’s the one who knows when not to let a streak change their strategy. Staying grounded, keeping your bet size consistent, and respecting the math behind the game is what separates controlled play from disaster.

Yes actually, luck is on their side until they don't know when it no longer is. And because luck remains unpredictable, many gamblers will not know when to stop gambling when they are on a winning streak, and when to actually gamble when their winning streak ends. This uncertainty is a part of the thrill in gambling. With this thinking, you will remind yourself not to become too overconfident and go outside your gambling principles by increasing stake because you are on a winning streak. It will remind you to remain disciplined.

It's usually common for most gamblers to over risk when they'd re in some winning streak. They some how feel like the losses are over and then you see them increasing their normal risk. Sooner or later, they find their selfs questioning what is happening and why they have been losing for too long. As a responsible gambler, you should be able to minimise your risk so when losses comes in, it doesn't have to be the end of your gambling session. Winning games will surly come, but what happens when you no longer have money to gamble? That's where many would begin to gamble with money they cannot afford to lose.

We would have to know if we are talking about games that only involves pure chance like slots, roulettes, dice or games that require some form of skills to play like sports betting, in order to draw a proper conclusion on if winning streak is just randomness.

I would just conclude by saying that games of pure chances are likely to just be pure randomness even when there is a winning streak, while skill based games like sport betting may experience a winning streak because of better performance, increase in confidence due to much play and this can cause one's chances of winning the next few bets as a streak.

The point where most gamblers usually get into trouble exactly the point where they allow the emotional rush created by these streak mindset to influence their decision making, it’s true that a few wins can create some level of confidence, and confidence create bigger risks which often leads to bigger losses. That’s why even the casinos loves streaks, because they know that it can make players to change their behavior and increase their interest to keep going.

It is completely random, assuming that changing the bet amount will break the streak is stupidity. ::)

As you said outcome of each bet is not affected by both the past and future bets, so if you are on a winning streak irrespective of the game type means you are lucky to be at the right time at the right place.

If it happens, just enjoy it instead of analyzing or trying to find a pattern.

Your totally right, I have a friend that gamblers an at a particular time, he was on a massive winning streak, and all he thought was that he was good and it's something that happened because of the skill he thinks he has. But he had no Idea that this was just a coincidence in favour of him, and after a while he started loosing.

People Fail to understand that gambling is a game of luck and chances if you happen to be in a winning streak appreciate it and keep your profits well because this does not always happen every time, the only skill you need in gambling is proper risk management, and strategic considerations, after these the rear that follows is total luck.

Streaks are random luck; they can happen to any gambler, and it's not something that you summon or plan. If it happens to you, be thankful you experienced it and made money from it, but never make the mistake of trying to duplicate it, because every session is different.
Winning streaks are something we hope for in our session, but we cannot guarantee they will happen, however hard we try.

Yes. It's just random. So, might as well just play randomly, too. Don't spend too much time in front of it.

Some winning streaks come from the RTP. Let's say you have been rolling 1000 times and lost half of them. There's a chance that you might get a big multiplier in slots. It's the system trying to keep you and give you hope that you can win large amounts sometimes.
I think I played way too many slots to realize that. Still, there are times the given amount back cannot cover all the losses, and you will rely on the randomness to win again.
It's very rare, but it's there, just the right timing, but no one knows when it will come.

It's just a perception that's championed by the thought that because you're winning that you're going to continue winning consistently. Some even make the mistake of assuming that their short term winning streak is as a result of Thier ability to identifying a pattern which gives them the ability to winning that much.

Everything is all about luck and not an atom of certainty or super understanding of the pattern involved in games.  You might win five straight times and fail in the sixth time, that's how random games can be.

Some people feels that they will be lucky throughout the day because they have being on a winning streak for some hours and they forget that it doesn't last for long. They become greedy and increase their bets thinking it's an opportunity to make more money. Before they know it, they have lost all their bankroll. This is why setting a time limit and be satisfied with your win is the best way to enjoy gambling.

Playing any of these games shows that you understand them to be strictly on luck, which can come in as a winning streak or the same way on a losing streak, because this does not have a test on our individual knowledge about how it is being played, instead, it just a matter of luck and how we got positioned for it the right time.

"Don't make the mistake of thinking you're invincible." I like your point, OP, because in most cases, gamblers often lose control and forget about risk management when they're on a winning streak.

One thing to remember is that big wins or streaks happen because of luck that strikes at the right time, not because you're great. Speaking of luck, I think we should all know that it's something that can't be predicted when it will come or go.

This means that just because you've reached that point doesn't mean the next outcome will be the same. It's better to stop and cash out your winnings than to end up with regret.

Truth it doesn't change the probability of the next game being lost. As gambler that is already on the winning streak, your confident will always grow to the extent that you will begin to trust the next game to be the same like as other ones. But when you start to have too much confident on the games you begin to lose your bet. As gambler you are, always be discipline so that being over confident will not make you lose your money when you are supposed to win.

Yes that’s what matters, but increasing staking money is risky in my opinion, it sounds like greed since you are indirectly saying that the money you are earning in your games aren’t enough for you, and if you stake more and lose the bet, it means you lost more money than the one you have been staking before now. Gambling probabilities is not always in the same favor, so use your opportunity wisely some people are suffering the losses while you are enjoying now, time will come when you will also lose for them to win; no condition is permanent.

If they are newbies, they would be taught lessons after seeing themselves losing after thinking that they are winning. If they are not newbies, that could only mean addiction if they have winning streaks but they do not stop gambling. If I win just little amount of money in gambling, I will stop gambling that the week until another weekend and I use the money for fun which is the reason I like gambling but I'm many times I lose, I stopped and only lose little amount of money. That is just the fun.

Winning streak is not randomness, although it may appear to be like that sometimes. There are some days in which everything you play will work especially if you bet on sports betting and there are times everything you play will fail. These are not random events, what causes it might be timing because you may be playing certain teams to win ignoring certain factors like players returning from international breaks, injuries and many other things. Winning streak is a product of diligent work.

So you are saying that if we closely observe the betting results then we may able to deduce some patterns?

The results are based on maths but how it happens is just a coincidence. If you are winning then you are lucky there is no explantion beyond that and if you say that it is due to your analytical skill in sport betting then why don't you think that maths geniuses can't able to replicate that and bankrupt every sportbookies?

Winning streaks are just won out of blue and nothing so special about them that you begin to feel somehow special that you’ve really masterminded the whole process of making more successful wins in gambling.

Winning streaks in gambling is very appealing but when you get too overconfidence in it, you’ll be prompted to risk more which the next game doesn’t guarantee a success and most probably a big failure that may collect back all what you’ve won during the winning streak.

They most likely happen when you get too confident and risk more of what you’ve been risking to increase your wins. They are randomness and treat them as such while enjoying it with caution while it lasts.

Usually I don't really encourage anyone to increase their bet size immediately they had winning from the casino they are gambling, sometime you may not know what the next results could turned out to be, so I suggest anyone who makes winning at their initial bet shouldn't be that desperate to increase his bet or even double it because it still relies on randomness. There are some people who also increase their bet when they are on long losing streak with the hope they would recover their loses but, then turns out to be something else where regrets and pain follows after such action might have been taken.

Maybe we should believe also that there's randomness is playing bets to an extent, but there's no evidence to proof this is true, however, we should be aware that all these doesn't matter the way we are being placed with the opportunity to play and have fun, as long as we are not being focused on winning our bets, we can't be much interested on this by any chance, as every gambler have their own targets to ensure that meet up with in gambling, some for fun while some for income.

yes increasing stake size as a result of winning can leads to a loss . There is this feeling that we will always be lucky as a result of frequent win hence the urge to increase the size of our stake will set in. In gambling the fact that we were lucky with our frequent stake doesn't mean that we are going to be lucky in our next stake. This feeling will always leads to staking more than we can afford to lose which leads to a bad gambling habits

In the world of gambling, it is difficult to say whether a winning streak is part of luck, sometimes even unlucky gamblers can experience the same thing, sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between strategy, luck and so on.

For me, gambling is part of the game, where the game is very much determined by the knowledge and experience we have, such as dice games, slots, roulettes and so on, The more often you play, the greater your chances of winning, whether it's consecutive wins or regular wins.

Nothing should make you increase your stake size when winning or losing in gambling. Chance always happen by luck which some gamblers don't know in gambling but they want to do what Mr A did to win yesterday not knowing that luck doesn't happen in that way, because you have to research to know more about the games before you take your final decision.

Winning is not randomly in gambling, and new gamblers should know that it happen sometime base on your knowledge towards gambling. You can lose in some hours in gambling and make some challenges in your strategies to win to recover your losse.

I completely agree with everything that you have written. I feel that deep down gamblers know that this is the truth and facts but our emotions gets the best of us. It is completely emotions over logic. That’s why responsible gambling saves the gambler a lot of wins and loses.It is common sense but we have a say that common sense is not so common as we think.

The desire to bet more according to the past performance usually causes many of them to make foolish choices, and it causes us to understand that the game cannot be played easily through imitating the decisions of other players. Although the knowledge of mechanics of the game is helpful, it cannot still do away with the element of randomness that is constantly present. In trying to pursue larger bets on the losses that have been incurred, the risks that are involved actually multiply. With the realisation of this fact, we are able to play at a moderate rate which does not turn into over-playing such that our bank account empties.

A winning or losing streak is based on randomness and it doesn't actually last very long as some people thinks that it takes long, it could be that a gamble can win in their first 3 role at a stretch, that's just all for that winning streak, the next minute the person is losing again, all of that is just controlled by randomness, there's no strategy that can hold up a winning streak for a longer times, it's just how lucky the player is.

In as much as we try to say that winning streaks might based on having a good strategy that might not actually be the case, it's just random luck because you can do a proper analysis and still end up losing. Winning streaks are basically just based on luck, it's all about hitting the right timing. But one thing I've come to accept is that you can start losing at anytime, winning streaks isn't  permanent thing

True — winning streaks are normally mere chance at work. Clusters of wins or losses occur naturally in the games of chance, however, they do not alter the odds of the following result. The issue is that when players believe that a streak has made them suddenly hot, and begin to place more and more bets. Bankroll management and discipline are more about any short-term luck. Streaks are exciting, and mathematically they will give nothing.

But when people increase their bet and win we tend to celebrate them. You might not be able to win big if you don't risk high. What we should also consider is not to gamble more than we can afford to lose. But if you are spurred to increase your bet, do it if it doesn't exceed your budget. My earlier comment is in no way opposing or contradicting the observation of the OP. A winning streak shouldn't be associated solely with luck because it is related to randomness. Don't assume that it is your lucky day and you start gambling above your budget.

This is the gambler's fallacy that you think you are doing something great, but in reality, it doesn't help you in any way. It's just making you "feel and think" that you are winning and in the long run, if you don't get satisfied and stop after some time, you can lose all your capital there.

I agree with this because if you don't discipline yourself in terms of the amount you are betting and not limiting yourself, in some shape or form, you could reach a point where it could bite you in the back and lose everything again. Plus, the casino's house edge is in play. Better be careful with that.

If justinlamode believes that he can deduce the patterns, maybe he should tell us his secret :D

As most of the members who have participated in this discussion so far, I also believe that streaks have more to do with randomness than with skills, at least in most of the games we know. We could argue that, in poker or blackjack, streaks can correspond to moments of greater lucidity, but we would be underestimating the luck factor, which is always present, even if the game is mainly based on skills like the mentioned. With other games, or even sports, to me it's mainly if not complete randomness.

Mathematicians do manipulate dice for the casino and in their field they're all aware of the kind of dice used in the casino. It's not easily solvable and would require lots of techniques to steadily stay on winning streaks. When the wins is rolling in then luck is the best term, replicating the results won't be in the gamers hand to deal with.

It’s a random event considering the game that he mentioned is a luck based game. What he mentioned is correct that all bets made on this game are independent to each other therefore even a winning streak is a just random event if it will occur or not.

People is just relying on luck or pure guts to bet with the hope of encountering this winning streak.

It just happened when multiple random wins occur consecutively.

Winning streaks are often due to luck, whether in slot games, which rely purely on luck, or in skill-based games.

In skill-based games, the chances of winning increase with the skills we master. Therefore, if you're interested in these types of games, you should learn them to improve your skills and increase your chances of winning. Even if a winning streak occurs, it's not entirely due to skill but also luck.

IMO the result or outcome cannot be influenced by you , so nothing like winning nor losing streak most folk usually use it in terms of regularity, for instance someone has been lucky lately and kept hitting the jackpot , so such folk will say his on his winning streak, mean while is just randomness cause he or she can still lose it all in an instance just that at the moment luck is on their side.

Many gamblers like this where when they win lucky are considered good and will continue to play it but without realizing that continuing to bet the winnings will return to the casino because you lose again.

Because people feel that if they are lucky and win in a row then that day is considered luck is always there in their imagination today will continue to win without realizing how to maintain the existing winnings continue to increase bets.

This post is like how related to what I experience last week while gambling, there was a game I was playing and after hitting the first multiplier I felt so regretted while I didn't increased my bet, then something in me now asked to increased it, I know that was greed but I had to follow my instinct to be sure I didn't do something else apart from what my instinct was telling. I had to do it with the hope that I could hit the multiplier or something a bit here than what I had already won before, but to my greatest surprised, I ended up losing everything including my initial winning. Then I had to understand that, it's not good to keep increasing bet after winning or after losing the initial bet and be it whether on long losing streak.

There is nothing special about winning streaks because whether you say luck or Randomness we all all saying the same thing. Winning back to back should not make anyone think that he is special or has gotten the key to gambling that is not true what is happening is just chance and luck smiling on you. No body should be deceived in believing that he has gotten a perfect gambling formula that is effective in gambling because, that is the greatest mistake anyone can do.



There are sometimes in your gambling experience that you may find out that every thing you bet on lead to winning. This is just pure luck and nothing more this period is usually defined by happiness and emotional hype which may lead to one thinking that he has arrived. But this type of moment is short lived because, soon you finds out that you are back to losing streak again.

There are gamblers who think they cannot lose when they're on a winning streak, yes, they're invincible in their minds and not thinking that something could go wrong with that. But when they start to see the signs of losing and they're about to lose it, they still are undeniable and thinking that it's just the few loss out of the many wins that they've taken. Overconfidence makes us think that we're invincible when we are actually not. And when we're in a winning streak, do not forget the first reason why we gamble and that's to take that money.

You summarize it well. In games that are based on chance, streaks are only random clusters that seem meaningful yet won't change the odds. The danger is emotional confidence becoming bigger bets. The best step is remaining disciplined, keeping stake sizes steady, and remembering that a hit run won't protect you from the loss ahead. Streaks feel powerful, yet they won't predict anything.

I still classify the winning streak as luck because even if we impose other conditions such as saying that we have a very good strategy but still such conditions are not guaranteed which makes this still be luck and will not be more than that.

Many gamblers are now too naive with their thinking where they always believe that the winning streak is purely because they can do a good strategy and think that they can beat the croupiers but the reality is clear that such conditions cannot happen at any time because the name of gambling, especially when centered on casinos or original games, all look the same where luck always determines the results we get.

If I’m being real, I see it the same way. Winning streaks in luck games are just randomness playing in your favor for a short moment maybe long but ends against your favor. I had days where everything was hitting and I felt like I finally figured out the game, but the reality is nothing actually changed. The odds stay the same the game stays the same but only your emotions start tricking you.

A streak feels good when it gives you that confidence boost, but it doesn’t promise anything. You said it yourself, discipline matters way more than the wins themselves. The moment you start believing you can’t be stopped, that’s when you lose everything you gained and didn’t enjoy.

One good rule that I use lately, enjoy every little win in gambling by spending it as food or short trips. Play again with fresh money when you have time.

When a game is RNG-based, the winning streaks are random and the losing streaks are random too. The only thing that’s fixed is the house edge, and that’s what beats us in the long run. When you say “game of luck,” you already know what it means… you can’t rely on some strategy that will give you consistent wins.

So if you hit a winning streak, you should also expect a losing streak to show up at some point.
That’s just the realistic way to look at gambling.

It’s just complete randomness, just as you've mentioned.
Flipping a coin can continue to land on its tail for a good number of times continuously, but that doesn't change the fact that the next flip could come out as a head.
Everything revolves around luck. Luck can still be on someone's side, but that doesn’t guarantee anything other than changing the way we think while placing bets during those periods.

in gambling games consisting solely of software and producing random results, all patterns, winning and losing streaks, and other such things occur purely by chance. even if we like to assign meaning to them, this does not change the results. even if a family has three sons in a row, the chances of the fourth child being a boy or a girl are equal and still 50%.

assigning meaning to such things often leads to overconfidence and losing money, so it's important to be aware of this.

Winning streak do happen and it is a popular world in gambling. You can experience it more in sports betting and not in casino because casinos are designed in such a way that your winning is like 1:50 or even higher. This is why it is almost impossible to get big multipliers consecutively. I have tested winning streak many times and in those good days, I will win every bet I place as though I was some expert. It is a sweet experience that can make someone become proud and start losing if care is not take and those winnings withdrawn immediately.

TBH, I feel it is.. Most winning streaks in gambling are just randomness playing out..
Sometimes luck comes up for a moment and it feels like skill, but it most of the times balances out over time. That is why you can not rely on a streak, once losses comes, everything resets..

I don’t want to fool myself thinking I can use skills in a game that’s fully based on luck. The moment we convince ourselves it’s “skill,” that’s when we start getting more aggressive in gambling, and eventually that just leads to bigger losses. It’s important to understand the type of game you’re playing. If it’s skill-based, fine, think about strategy. But if it’s pure luck, then we should limit ourselves more.

The worst thing that can happen is for you to believe that it's real, because you will try to duplicate or find a way to make it happen, and you will lose a lot of money doing so.
Winning streaks happen when you least expect them; it's called luck.
We all want a winning streak in gambling, but we can only hope for it to happen and not plan to make it happen. This is a game where everything is uncertain, just wish yourself that you'll have a winning streak.

Winning streaks to me are just based on luck and it happens for just a period of time...its unwise to actually think that you cam always get lucky, gambling is a game of luck, no one can win constantly, some think that having a consistent Winning streak means that they can keep on achieving that. After making your profit from your first trial always gamble with nothing more than 20 percent of your wins

With maybe rare exceptions like a software glitch or cheating, it has to be randomness. What other explanation is there? I’ve seen basketball players debate whether having a “hot hand” is a thing or not. That at least makes some sense as it is a physical act. I don’t see how winning a bunch of slot pulls could be anything but random.

Winning streak in a game of chance is just randomness, so yeah, I agree with the title.  We all know that chance-based game is affected by RNG and is not ifluenced by any skill or strategy.  With the randomness of the result, it cannot be claimed ay won by strategy or knowledge about the game.



Winning streaks at least guarantee a player that he is bagging money, but the question of whether it will continue or not is uncertain.  So just enjoy while in a winning streak and make sure to stop the session at the right time, and don't get trapped with chasing wins or revenge gambling the moment the winning streak reverses.

A winning streak should still be considered a stroke of luck, and they should not cause you to lose control and start betting more aggressively. You shouldn’t become overconfident when you’re in that kind of momentum, because in gambling everything is tied to luck. I think it’s the same as when you experience a losing streak, even if you’re betting on sports that involve skill, you still have the potential to experience a losing streak.

Try not to be easily deceived by a winning streak, because at another time the situation will be different and luck may not be on your side. Stick firmly to the personal limits you’ve set for yourself, and make sure not to gamble beyond those limits.

When someone experiences a lucky streak, they'll feel like they're the lucky one. However, when they're lucky and win at gambling, they'll feel like they're the bringer of good fortune and that Lady Luck is always on their side. This leads to an addiction that leads them to continue gambling (unbeknownst to the subsequent effects).

On the other hand, some people win consecutively because they have skills (cheats). This is a misconception. Usually, if it's due to cheating, the casino will notice and be aware of the streak, and they'll quickly fix the bug. And this happens continuously: there's a cheat, a fix, another cheat, and so on.

The common thing we hear from most gamblers is that they double their bets just to have a way of recovering their past losses, believing they were too lucky this time. Unfortunately, things are not in our hands. Sometimes we're right, but most of the time we're wrong. But what I notice is that when our greed controls our mind, luck goes away. If you experience this one, if we bet a small amount, we win, but if we stake a huge amount, we lose. It somewhat says that we should not be greedy here.

Strategic win or randomness depends on the game especially when luck is included, mostly luck and we’re all aware gambling games are unpredictable no matter the strategy but, if considering random event then we should expect less winning streak basically winning streak is quit difficult because a consecutive win always is kind of impossible but, I understand when people get the record although winning streak is not about luck alone rather strategy matters yet strategy sometimes can create another chance losing the whole profit for example increasing bet size is still not guarantee.

This is the reason why I don't increase most of my betting whenever I am in a streak. While it feels like I am dominate and could go for more bets and increase each of its size, I'm not doing that at most times. Of course there can be some games that I increase a bit of it for my own thoughts of being a possible winner, this is mostly not with those casino games but sports betting which is a good one because I have full control of my bets and not relying with luck at all. So, it's true that increasing the betting size because you're in a streak can be the reason for one's downfall and ending of a winning streak.

It's quite logical to say that winning streaks are simply a coincidence. After all, everything can be lost again in a single incident, as in gambling the odds of losing are greater than the odds of winning. If a lucky player on a winning streak continues to crave winning, they could lose everything again, potentially even more. I believe this is due to luck, and I don't think it takes more than five consecutive wins in gambling.
Everyone reacts differently to situations like this. Some believe they're good because their strategy is accurate, while others conclude it's simply luck.

Yeah it's pure of randomness.

We suffer more lose streaks over win streaks, usually win streaks happen when my bankroll are in low, however the win streaks usually didn't bring much return. Whenever I'm in win streaks condition, I tend to decrease or bet the same amount because after win streaks usually we lose, so don't get tricked to increase your bet.

It is why increasing your stake will not be a good decision especially if you have win before. You may be greedy for the next win but unfortunately, that will not happen as you want. Your win can turn into a loss once you lose self control and your discipline is also gone.

If you win, you should realize that is because randomness and you are lucky to be part on that. You can win money through gambling but you will not have a high chance in the next rounds.

You should control yourself and discipline and not try to increase the win amount. It is better to enjoy your winning and take a rest.

In games that are dominated purely by "chance" like dice, roulette and  slots, these winning streaks are not a "good run" but rather a form of randomness where small stretches deviate slightly from the expected pattern. This is completely normal if you take a look in long sequences... you will see these blocks of wins and blocks of losses together that even seem special, but mathematically speaking, they are expected in any random process.

And then, the danger is precisely when our brain tries to "romanticize" this, thinking you are in an "invincible mode", making you bet more than you should, and then suddenly it all ends and worse... in an attempt to recover what you lost, you enter a bad run, where this time it is the stretch of long losses that prevails, taking all your profits and leaving you at a loss.

So, there is only one way to "survive"... maintain your betting rhythm even during good times, have a stop loss and also a stop win (realize your profits) and never think you are invincible. Be wise enough to learn that variance in results can be good at certain times and very bad at others... it is part of the statistics... manage your bankroll and administer your balance wisely.

I remember having the illusion that god of luck in my side while I was chasing some rare items in the past. I got incredibly lucky where super rare items drop in a short time frame. I was excited and wanted to grind some more, but it takes a ton of time to see another drop with a lower rarity. Safe to say I've never been that lucky again in that game.

I think it's hard to be objective about it unless you've been exposed to similar things in the past, though. Your brain can say one thing, but your feeling tells you another. Even in playing gacha games, you can feel it, not to mention playing casino games where you don't know the real odds.

At the end of the day, having a long winning streak can mean nothing if you lose them all from a single play. CMIIW.

Winning streak doesn't always last longer, which is why we need to be more careful with it because if you don't know when to stop when you are on winning streak you may likely end up with empty handed. However, most gamblers are just deceiving themselves by being greedy because increasing your bet when you are on winning streak doesn't increase your chance of getting winning, rather it will still increase your chance of losing.

In games that rely purely on chance like dice roulette or slots what people often call a lucky streak is simply a random occurrence within the laws of probability in any sequence of random outcomes you will always find patterns that seem special clusters of wins or losses that appear meaningful when they are just the natural result of statistical variance our brains are wired to look for patterns even when none exist so when we hit a few wins in a row we begin to feel like we are on fire like we suddenly found the rhythm or discovered the secret behind the game but the truth is every roll every spin every round has the exact same probability as the one before it.

The real problem starts when emotion takes over and the gambler starts to believe that the streak means something and that is where discipline gets tested many people raise their stakes after a few wins thinking luck is following them and that is how they lose everything just as fast as they gained it random games will always correct themselves and when the losing streak hits it often wipes away the entire profit and more the trick is not to fight randomness but to understand it.

Only a few gamblers can remain disciplined when they feel lucky, because almost in general many gamblers will definitely increase the nominal bet if they have won several times in previous bets, sometimes I personally will also increase the nominal bet because I think when I am lucky I should win the bet but in reality we do not realize that luck only lasts a short time for us and so far we see many who after increasing the nominal bet it is almost impossible for them to win in that round so that in the end we only get losses.

Yes, gambling winnings are always random. No one can ever guarantee what the outcome will be. Everyone says that gambling is based on luck because no one can predict it, which is why those who win consider it luck. If gambling winnings were not random, gamblers could easily win and bankrupt a casino site. So casino sites will not put any glitches or bugs in gambling games that cause them to suffer huge losses. So no matter how clever a gambler is, he must always accept that his winnings will depend on his luck.

Yes, but with some nuances. In terms of individual results, it is unpredictable. But casinos make money based on the predictability of large numbers. Neither you nor the casino can know what will come up on the next roll, but the casino knows that after X rolls and due to HE, it will win Y amount of money. The larger the number of rolls, the more accurate the calculated result.

Based on my experience, it is practically impossible to win at Dice over a long period of time. Sooner or later, the bankroll allocated for the game begins to decrease, and at that moment, if you want to win back your losses and increase your bet, the bankroll decreases even faster. There are situations when the game program gives you the opportunity to win something back. At that moment, you think that there is not much left and you will win back everything you lost, but then the bank starts to decrease, and if you don't stop, there is a chance that you will lose your entire bank.

I can consider a winning streak to be a coincidence and I can also consider it a luck factor if the type of game played is dice, slots and roulette.
If it is said that it was a random win, I also don't blame that assumption.
A series of wins taken from statistical calculations, maybe yes, that doesn't guarantee anything.
A series of wins that continue to be based on emotions that cannot be controlled will be detrimental. For example, feeling like there will be another win so the bet is raised again.

In some person's head, they thought that winning streaks is going to be a time when they are winning for a whole hour or a whole day, they make the winning streak sound as it it's continuous or even easy to catch and make all your profit that time but it's just random, if you wager 3x and win all at a time, it's a streak at randomness, if you think the next wagering is going to be a win too, you could just be falling into a trap.

Those are superstitious belief, like there are conditions met to achieve this streak

 We definitely can't control winning and losing streaks, and we can't know when one will start or when it will end. But I do not think it really matters, I have always accepted it as part of the game. I know that some players, during a winning streak, start lowering their bet with each next bet, and if they face a losing streak, they start increasing their bet. This is part of their strategy, but I do not apply it for myself, except maybe in rare cases during a long streak, but that happens very rarely.

Discipline will be the thing that prevents you from gambling excessively. If you have win streak, that means your luck comes at the right time and gives you the winning money. You can't repeat it and expect to win more, because that depends on your luck. You do not know if your luck still with you or just leaves you after giving that. You should realize that you will not have another chance to win much. Besides that, you should realize that winning streaks are rare so you should stop gambling if you get one.

Of course it is just randomness, if it is not randomness then what we should call it?
Since every single bet is independent which has nothing to do with the next bet, that's why losing streak and winning streak may come depending on our own luck.
Although the possibility of winning streak is lower than the possibility of losing streak but both are still purely random.
Increasing bet amount after winning streak or after losing streak because you think that it will increase your winning chance is a wrong mindset so increase your bet amount when you are ready to lose it only not because you think you'll win.

It is, everything is random... We wake up and we have a good or bad day. And, all of us have gone through those streaks, good & bad ones.

But we can't experience good or bad streaks if we don't participate... so as long as we are trying, we will go through those streaks. It's luck or a skill to survive a red streak with low bets, and to push with higher bets in green streaks.

Yes, winning streaks are random.  If you play long enough then you will have some hard to believe long winning streaks.  That doesn't necessarily mean that luck is on your side and you are going to have better odds going forward.  It is just the result of millions of potential outcomes sinking with winning for a while.

Something I learned about randomness...  Did you know that you could spend your entire life shuffling decks of cards and the odds are that no 2 decks will ever be shuffled in the same order?  Hard to believe, but odds are a crazy thing...

Winning streaks is the condition where gamblers frequently experiences a win more than once or twice, in slot games it's just a good fluctuations of randomness and a taste of the gambler's faith, that won't change the outcome of the next stake which is 50/50. If gambler falls into illusion because of the test of faith by the casino winning streak, the next outcome would be a lose that takes all the gambler's deposit including the haul.

In sports betting, winning streak is the indication that the bettor's predictive approach and analytical plans is superb, the streak can last long if a bettor continue with his fantastic predictive approach but when he become winning streak drunk, he can also lose so much.

And do not forget that you can have a long winning streak that still does not mean profit because you have even bigger losing streaks. ;D ;D

You can never see the full picture when you see a big win on the internet, you can only know that between billions of games someone is going to beat the odds and this is just him being the chosen one in the universe of luck.

I'm talking about a Web3 game, apart from dice, slots, and roulette. There's a single box, and it clearly states that there's a 5% chance of finding valuable items inside. I've been grinding this box for 4-5 months, and my stats are very different. The last time I opened 40 boxes, I failed. I once got 4 valuable NFTs out of just 10 boxes. This is purely a lucky streak of winning or losing. This is the same with all RNG gambling.

Well, I think that's the right name that was made up for such randomness, when you mention winning streak, someone already knows that you are talking about how you won many rounds of game at a time. There's what I was saying before, some people mistakes this streak as something that last too long but they don't realize that the randomness can just happen so fast and the next minute the person is losing again, while he is still thinking that their luck is on, they will start losing again.

When you are playing a casino game than yes. Streaks are random, each spin of the wheel or roll of the dice is not connected to the last one. Imagine that the wheel, ball or slot machine does not know what the outcome of the spin before was. Each spin is totally random, and it does not know that it is time for you to win, that you lost 10000 times in a row, or won 10000 times in a row. It is important to understand this and always keep it in mind when playing any casino game in order to be realistic with the outcomes.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence. If you hit a winning streak for a while, either the casino opened the faucet for you to win or you’re trying something different.
Last year I found a lesser known slot game and played the same game on 4 5 different sites. I kept winning for two weeks straight :) After that, the game got an update.

A losing streak or a winning streak if the place you play is a reliable, controlled place is completely random.
I have done an experiment in the past for probability, playing roulette and on probability calculation the number 0 averaged out every 40 shots (not with mathematical precision)
If zero didn't come out by the 40th shot I started betting starting from 0.10 (considering he pays for 36 when you guess a number) I shot 0.10 30 times to have a profit margin, so I arrived continuing the series to get about $100.
So you can say that I guessed the win round, took a day break so as not to arouse suspicion at the casino and the next day I started doing the same thing, well the result was also satisfactory on the second day earning $80, on the third day I had $180 in my account and I continued with the same strategy, but this time I had the wrong day, I turned the wheel a good 190 times (a few shots without betting) and the zero didn't come out 190 times in a row, obviously I lost everything.
So absolutely randomness.

Winning streaks in gambling are mostly just luck and randomness. Sometimes random outcomes cluster together, so it feels like you’re on a roll but nothing real is changing behind the scenes.

Each bet is usually independent meaning past wins don’t make future wins more likely. Streaks happen but they don’t mean you’ve found a pattern or special skill.

I usually don't play Dice games now. But play  roulettes, it's all about probability game. If you analyze previous rounds on Roulette you would see some Numbers have high cance of winning. If I play it, I usually do this , you should try lightning roulette, multiplier could give you a extra boost😁.  But if you're winning you should stop, don't chase more winning you could have end up losing all

Timing is very important and if by chance luck gave you that opportunity to have those winning streaks best to wisely use it and make a had stop while you are still in green, most of the time those gamblers who failed to recognize the chance of making money using that winning streaks ends up losing every back.

As you mentioned, everything is random but if you are good in controlling yourself, patience might give you that chance to detect and timingly take a good advantage of your winning streaks that a green sign to make money.

While you were winning for 2 weeks straight, someone else was probably losing during that period and thinking also that game must have been rigged.

this should be reported
I wouldn't want it to be a different percentage and therefore a scam
These are the things that personally make me a little angry, if you say 5% and it seems like a very low percentage to me
At least that's what it should be! If it isn't, please report and document everything.

We all know it’s mostly luck when the game has a house edge. Those random positive moments are nice, but sooner or later we’re going to hit the negative side too. That’s why you celebrate wins while they’re there, because they don’t last. In the long run the house edge will always catch up.

What’s scary are the gamblers who think they actually found some formula to beat the system. Their expectations get too high, and when reality hits, the disappointment can be huge.

Everything related to the slot, roulette or etc is completely random. Even a winning streak occur just caused by you were lucky enough. However, a dumb guy might treat a winning streak like a fortune given by the god to him. Meanwhile, it will bring him to the sensation to do "one more time" that will turn him going back many times.
When that guy trapped into the "one more time" odds, then casino is obviously winning in the long run since that guy is addicted.

and yes the house edge, that's what it's called, it's the casino's profit
OK, if the casinos don't make money, what are they working for, to do charity?
you just need to know and understand that they always earn money anyway
We play to pass the time and not to make money, and that's how it should be.

I believe patience & consistency are two key elements in recognizing winning opportunities. I can say this because I apply them directly when gambling. When I'm feeling lucky, this is where my self-control is tested through patience & consistency. Often, when I'm on a winning streak, I tend to get greedy, increase my bets & never feel satisfied with my winnings. Ultimately, all those winnings are lost. Therefore, patience & consistency are crucial when gambling to control myself & enjoy your winnings.

Exactly, the typical "gambler's fallacy." Randomness is randomness. As the saying goes, if you put a monkey to work typing indefinitely, sooner or later it will end up writing a bestseller.

But the illusion of luck is often captivating for us humans. Sometimes life smiles upon us so perfectly that it seems like divine intervention. The important thing is to keep our feet on the ground and know that this won't last, and to take precautions in our decisions.

It's crucial in gambling to have a time limit or to manage your time well when experiencing a winning streak. Without proper time management we can become greedy leading to continuous losses.

Winning streaks in slots often occur due to chance but this chance is also influenced by our increased gambling. IMO gambling on slots is mostly luck and chance because we can't predict wins we can only control our emotions and timing. This differs from sports betting where there's less luck involved because we need to analyze and assess the team's strengths before placing a bet.

It is good that you are learn to be patient and you also recognize your winning opportunities and you don't gamble irresponsibly when you are on a winning streak. However, there are more gamblers who will not do so because of excitements about the winning they are getting, and this is really what is making many yo lose back all the money that they are winning.

As for me I continue gambling when I'm not done gambling, I don't gamble to make money I gamble for entertainment. Anytime I feel like to try my luck with what I can afford to risk and I win. I immediately stop so that I don't lose back all the money that I have won.

Often, this kind of mindset causes a gambler who initially gambled simply for entertainment to become a heavy addict.

Winning consecutively is indeed extraordinary, bringing feelings of happiness that are difficult to express, but realize that it is not a sign that you will always win, luck will not last forever.

This is where you will be tested. Many gamblers get caught up in the euphoria, feeling that their victory was achieved because their instincts improved, when in fact it was just a coincidence. If this happens to you again, stop immediately and enjoy your winnings, because often gamblers will increase their bets even more, and ultimately end up losing everything.

Absolutely, just go check the streamers playing and you will see some of their games will come back strongly after they lose but most of the time they won't. They will keep losing because in the long run the games are programmed against us, the funny thing like a celebrity said, we are so smart to know this and yet so absolute idiots to continue playing them. I did the same tonight as adrenaline went high for the weekend and I got back to an old game which reminded me the hardest way that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is nothing more than insanity, so I am a definitive idiot to fell for it for the thousand time but I promised on God this time will absolutely be the last as I will be hoping to get some extra money in December and it will be my trail if I fail or succeed. In fact tonight I wanted to wager to get prizes from the 25th anniversary in the casino in my signature but my most loved prize were fully claimed, the lottery draws, I was hoping in vain to get that 10.000 dollar bonus money, I am a dreamer.

I agree with some of your points except the part you said winning is just a coincidence. I don't share that thought for sports betting because skill is required to win consistently in sports betting. That may be true for casino games where everything is based entirely on luck but not in sports betting where skill play a dominant role. You cannot win sports betting consistently by mere coincidence, that is my point.

Yes, these illusions in the minds of gamblers are what keep them playing. They have a strong belief that they can win. Most gamblers fail to realize that the outcome of gambling is controlled by the house and that in the long run, the house always wins because the structure is designed to favor them, not the players. This isn't cheating, but rather a business whose results are systematically designed through random mathematics. And you're right, sports betting is more about personal skills and predicting a match. Of course, any gambler, regardless of background, who experiences a winning streak will become addicted and repeat the same practice.

"Don't make the mistake of thinking you're invincible." I agree with that opinion, because from my experience, it's usually that confidence that makes gamblers so bold to play more aggressively or make decisions beyond their capabilities. Therefore, the only solution to stay in control is to maintain the understanding that gambling is a game of chance. Winning doesn't mean you're great.

I believe that winning streaks are purely due to luck, but it also depends on the type of gambling. For example, if you win in sports betting, your skill and knowledge may contribute, but in casino games, it's clearly all down to pure luck.

Sometimes players trust their winning strategy, believing it's completely accurate, when in fact, it's simply luck on their side. After all, you're right, luck doesn't last forever. The strategy they believed guaranteed victory is broken when luck is no longer on their side.
However, those who are addicted won't stop there. They might return to finding another strategy, which becomes an impulsive mindset and action.

Most gamblers are the cause of their problem, they allow their self to have this mindset of being invincible because of the slight chance they get to win, they don't remember that they can not beat the casino and that when they are not careful, they can still lose the money they have won back to the casino, there's a thread that was talking about how a gambler can lose twice the amount they have won, and it's true, if a gambler is lucky to have winning streak, it's just a randome lucky and they need to withdraw the money, else they will lose it back to the casino.

Anybody that sees gambling as a way to make money faster than other means that requires a skill must be doing a severe mistake they don't know about yet. If a skill worker can go to school, write exams, pass and failed, graduate and get a work and later get paid handsomely, they deserved good salaries and a suitable lifestyle because they have worked for what they are enjoying. If all these things were done to get good salaried, what can we say about someone that is in a hurry to win big money without any risk management skill or other skills that must have shown hard work input as a gambler.
