Can maths help you win in gambling ?

[fuer44]

no, not at all. math cant help you win gambling. gambling is about luck. think about it, if mathematics can help win gambling, why do mathematicians and professors not gamble? its just my opinion, what about you?

[Kimi80]

No way. Math can help you if you are creating some system that you will apply on gambling. All the gambling games are perfectly made so you can have no chance to beat the house. As people mention here you can count cards when playing blackjack but if stuff of casino notice this, you will be ejected from the same and will be banned to enter and play again. If something like that could be possible, gambling would lost any sense and there would be no more casinos.

I don't think mathematics will help in gambling. Gambling is not a science. Then if you are lucky, then you win money, and if not - you lose.

I do not think so, because I think gambling is not about counting but about predictions and luck, and math has no effect on those two things. Gambling is not about counting, it's about how big your luck is and how great you are in controlling yourself.

What the F**k. I am really astonished to see the answers of those people who are trying to project that math is something out of the world of gambling. Come on guys use your brain. Gambling is all about calculations, no doubt luck plays a vital role but if you are not able to use brain then you never win. Even the simple cards when you are playing need some calculations to when and where to use which card.
I feel pity for all those who don’t know the connection of math and gambling.

With this answer, I assume you like gambling more and don't want to accept its results depend on luck finally. Whatever calculation you do but you can't say that 100% you can win your bet or game right? Whether you play card games or any sports betting because there is still an unknown factor which you can't calculate is called a luck. If you don't believe this and continue gambling based on your calculations then everyone may need to feel pity for your losses later on.

If math could help then I guess Steve Hawkins would be one of the riches man on earth and he would have closed down all the casinos for bankruptcy. I don't think it is that easy to say that math can just instantly make you a winner in gambling. Maybe it can help in games like poker where you can just count cards and improve your chances of winning.

Haha be calm dude. Everyone has a different opinion, and I do not think math will affect the victory much if you're out of luck. So even if you use your brain to make calculations, if you're unlucky you'll never win.Because luck is the thing that holds the greatest role to win.

Whenever there is a house advantage/edge it means that there is no way to truly beat the game at least long term. Some casino games have a skill element, where the player makes decisions; such games are called "random with a tactical element." While it is possible through skilful play to minimize the house advantage, it is extremely rare that a player has sufficient skill to completely eliminate his inherent long-term disadvantage. Keno can have house edges up to 25%, slot machines can have up to 15% that's just huge and yet a lot of people still play them, why? Addiction and not understanding math.

[justdimin]

Definitely mathematics can help to win in gambling, and here we're talking about statistics and probabilities that are directly related to those games.
Since all gambling games are based on these two sciences in order to guarantee the gain for the owner, however it is necessary to mention that this science is not easy to master at all.

Statistics and probability cannot help us becoming the winner of a dice game or a slot game. It cannot bless a roulette player with victory every time or even most of the time but some simple operators can help us in staying safe by calculating the total loss. We cannot control our fate by any strategy however poker players and sports bet players apply analysis in their bets.

Are you making millions trough gambling because you are doing calculations? I don't think so.

I just read one article that's about math can help you win at roulette game then i want ask with you all, did you believe math can affect to gambling games? i'm not expert in math so i don't know


this is the article that i readed.

When it comes to roulette and dice etc, I think what math can to, is to prove than you can't actually win those games, at least in the long run. You can get lucky short term, but that's about it. If you talk about poker, or blackjack with just one deck, then math can help you, otherwise it can't.

Yes true math is useless on gambling its not helpful even they are so good in math if they have no luck i think they will lose all their money.
If you are a gamblers i think you need a lot of luck for you to win.

Math is all around us, and everything can be calculated, in one way both of you are wrong, like others that thinks the same like you two. There are laws and theories about probability, and math is researching that, you can find that in math books, I had it I remember from high school.
What is the trick then, gambling is calculating the odds ( calculate that is math, right? ) and casinos knows that, its hard to calculate everything in your head you need to be very smart for that, some people are banned from casinos because of that, they can count cards, calculate and win in some games.
Casinos are using math, that's why they have max bets and other limitations. Some winning strategies require huge bankrolls, with using math it's the same, you can use it but do you have enough time to calculate every next bet, and enough money to until the end.

Mathematics coupled with statistics can help you with statistical analysis and make correct future predictions about your games. Noone shouild down play mathematics because all successful gamblers are strategic thinkers and they use mathematics in their strategic thinking.

Maths don't count in luck based games like dice but I think it becomes useful in sports betting especially football. It helps you calculate and make future predict based on previous analysis of the teams you've intended to bet on.

Maths don't count in luck based games like dice but I think it becomes useful in sports betting especially football.

When betting sports or setting a DFS lineup, maths have proved to be king.

DFS punters are often looking at many models of upcoming games trying to pick out both consistent and high variance players depending on the contest.

For pure sports betting, the maths of the vig charged is often too great to overcome, but a sharp bettor will find value in rare situations.

Math is useful in some gambling activities such as dice and roulette. In this kind of activity, you can get the probability of winning. Math analysis can be a help specially when looking for the probable winning choice, math knowledge is more like related with logical analysis which is a good factor on winning. But there are also gambling activities that do not demand Mathematics, like sport betting which math is not necessary because your bet will depend on the previous  game winning history. Still, gambling is a matter luck there is no definite prediction even with the use of math.

If we also use the word of luck with math then i think it is better. Because in all other games, we always say that strategies, skills and luck wise we win, then how could it possible that we win only for math wise, especially in dice and roulette. I am not play roulette but i play dice and i give you guaranty if you have luck then you never need math and skills to win in dice, then same here in roulette. But i have no meant that i deny about math and skills, i accept these things work but if we have luck then everything will be good for us in gambling.

as far as I can judge about professional gambling, then the knowledge of mathematics is not only welcomed but must also be mandatory. Just otherwise, no victories for Roma and hand can not be seen if his knowledge in this science is very weak.
