Gambling can be profitable in the long run! It is possible!

[Erza]

Gambling in the long run is possible if you have unlimited money because someday you're going to face a losing streak..
besides the house edge will gonna chew on your profits slowly.

C'mon even if you had 1k btc you can just lose those in minutes.

There is no unlimited money in this world. Everyone will not have this kind of money and this thing has many time being discussed and it seems like you dont really understand what it means. So it means you will lose all of it if you dont know how to stop your bet

Okay almost 1200 odds with 14 match and won 11 btc wow!wow! What a lucky guys? Wow he did it all in tennis matches.
But If he didn't stop gamble i beleive his 11 btc will turn to -11 btc. Why? Always hard against long run. unless he know when to stop or only bet on small amount.

it can be seen in many ways, your OP is only based on theories, not fact.

I think gambling will not provide full-time jobs. The only job leisure.

Sir, I think their some cases that you don't know ? I won 0.003 satoshi right now and I only use the free faucet which is amount of 200 satoshi only. It depends on how you play. I can say we can win gambling and its possible to profitable in long run. If your to hot to play gambling so better luck next time. But we can say patience is a virtue if you have that to the gambling then its gonna be change. try to play without losing your own money.

Who said here anything about full time jobs?

I was only saying that you can be profitable if you are lucky. It all depends on luck.


You can win big once, or you win small for longer, but the same goes for losing too.

This is what differentiates losers from winners:

I've been wondering for a long time about long term gambling profit myself. Recently I came across very interesting research done by Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal summarizes the results of two years worth of data from thousands of online gamblers playing virtual casino games and here is the result:

"On any given day, the chances of emerging a winner aren't too bad - the gamblers won money on 30% of the days they wagered.
But continuing to gamble is a bad bet. Just 11% of players ended up in the black over the full [two year] period, and most of those pocketed less than $150."

These numbers apply whether you're playing blackjack and roulette online, or in person at a casino. A change of location will not improve the statistics for you.

In other words, you'd be far better off financially picking up a single penny off the sidewalk, and then doing nothing else for two years, than you would be by gambling continuously for two years, even if you consider yourself the embodiment of luck itself.

Flat betting would be just as hard as using any system, it actually seems that flat betting it's way harder because you only win the same amount of money in each of your bets, you would have better chances using a risky method because when you get lucky you win a lot, of course you have to be extremely lucky.

Actually from a risk standpoint, flat betting is the most efficient strategy.

Sure you can use martingale or all-in if you want the big buck , but in terms of survival rate, flat betting is the only option.

It seems pretty hard to win more than the house edge constantly with flat betting even if you are lucky. If i were to make a system to survive long term would be, bet on a really low % and get lucky, win a big amount and start betting flat after that, it's silly but it might work just to survive.

Yeah I can't say this is luck or he is pro at tennis betting but to get that 11btc in just one parlay is a great achievement. I dont think he will lose his coin like that. He can still play low bet or save some before he continue on betting it so if he lose he will still earn some of his profit

well if you have the right tips from a expert tipster you can easily triple ur money with events such as football where upsets don't happen 70% of the times from what ive experienced

But the house edge does matter. You can improve your odds by playing a smaller house edge game.

In bitcoin, to my knowledge, the dice sites are your best bet to achieve that.

Assuming if you've a valid point and your theories are very accurate why would you say "it all depends on luck".If it all depends on luck it dissolves the entire point of your mathematical notations.However you can't live a life with double standards as Einstein says "Live life like everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle".You just did that by saying its based on mathematical expression in one of your posts and not supporting it by saying "it all depends on luck".

That is not how probability works. Probability follows a pattern, and luck is only the outcome of 1 variable, or a random pattern in the distribution that is unique to your situation.

In your case ,the concept of Mutually exclusive and independent events seems more accurate as we have multiple variables and different outcomes .Lets start by considering definition of Mutually exclusive events

Two events are said to be independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event.  

If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of the probabilities of the individual events
Hence,If A and B are independent events,
P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B)
This does satisfy your mathematical notion of Winning in Gambling in long run is possible but disagree with the fact as luck is to be considered as a positive entity in the process.

Gambling will not provide full time jobs for most people. Most of us are not professional gamblers, we do not have the skill to win against the casinos and other professionals. We just gamble for fun. We know we will lose in the long term. The hope of winning keeps us playing.

I dont know, because we dont know how luck works or what luck is.

It arises out of the quantum level but we cannot know how it arises or what is the nature of it. It all comes down to determinism vs free will.

And that will remain a mistery.

How can one develop a skill to win against the casinos? You either have to hack them or inject your code to overtake the random functions used to code the casinos which again makes you a skilled programmer.And a skilled programmer doesn't need to gamble to make money.Fact is, people with less scope of earning money through legit ways choose gambling.People with skills make money easily by hard work and dedication.I'am totally against such criticism for gambling,its all based on an individual's point of view.

Haha this makes a lot of sense.Probably in near future we can study the luck patterns of a particular player playing a casino for 24 hours and examining his luck appearance between regular/discrete intervals .Analyzing the pattern we can develop an algorithm which calculates luck for every user and predicts when is next luck event will occur.

The only way gambling is profitable in the long run is to set up your own casino and house edge the degenerates.
Gambling itself is a huge money sink.. and likely a good 33% of all BTC is gambled I'd bet.. Its sort of crazy.

BTC: For Drugs, Gambling and shady prostitution things!

id bet that 99% of people on this board probably dont want to hear that, even though its 99% right (1% in the case every player has some insane luck and ends up sucking the casino dry, which is rather unlikely to happen). in most cases, i would expect a bitcoin casino's profits to be higher than what the house edge would lead people to expect because of the way people gamble.

Well if there is demand for gambling, so what?

It gives a new purpose and usefullnes to bitcoin. Gambling is a good entertainment, and if bitcoin can make it more enriched, then so be it.
