An Intriguing article: How to Perfect Your Gambling Strategy

[flipme]

I think the general advice given on this subject is correct advice. But when we gamble, we get so emotional that it's hard to think logically. That's why I use the simpler Martingale strategy more often. It works when I'm not experiencing consecutive losses. Still, I think the best advice among the recommendations on the subject is know when to quit. Sometimes we need to know how to say enough for today while winning or losing. Everything becomes safer when we know our own limits.

point 11, know when to stop, that is a good point because gamblers sometimes don't know when they have to stop and close gambling sites. They keep playing and playing without stopping. although they will win and get lucky it will be gone when there is no downtime to stop.
To perfect the betting strategy there are many things that can be done as mentioned in this thread. but whether they can run it or not, of course it depends on each gambling player. players without strategy and management will only waste their money.

So what do you think about the list of instructions stated by the article, are they good enough to keep a person to have an edge against the gambling platform?

It's a good read however gamblers should keep in mind that it doesn't give any edge against the gambling platform.

The article states more of not doing suicide gambling or just relying purely on luck. Doesn't mean though that gamblers can have the edge against the gambling platform but it's more of helping a gambler to be responsible enough to take care of their respective bankroll to last long.

You are right that others say there's no perfect gambling strategy and it's true as we are dealing with unknown circumstances here in gambling. What we should take care of is how to manage properly our bankroll in order to take our gambling session in the long-run. And more importantly, once we already nailed some decent winnings, force ourselves to take a break and enjoy the profits we have made.

The hints they gave are helpful, but it's not on a level where we can beat the casinos, and strategies won't be enough to offset the house edge. On the other hand, they can still serve as a reminder to avoid bad decisions while playing because we sometimes forget or ignore these hints even though we've heard them several times already.

Thanks for reminding us once again. This is what happens normally when gambling though it has a not all the strategies listed there are well known to me specifically the number 4. I have not seeing in any of the sites I have visited. And not all the casinos have that 4 (Demo game).

The demo mode is usually available in games offered by third-party providers, and you can easily look up the games on another site since there are always some gambling-related sites that let you test several third-party games. Also, some casinos have them as fun mode, and it's the same as you'll be using free funds to test the game.

Good or Not is depend on each person. Sometimes someone doesn't need to strategy when playing gambling, they just put in the money and then win or lose, they just play the luck like how the Chinese play. And I really sure the professional gambler out there is still playing luck, and doesn't have any strategy to play, they only choose No. 1 and immediately jump to number 11. and ignore the no.2 - 10.

So, I don't know why we have to against the gambling platform. Because they are looking for profit, and we do the same (profit) if gambling. it's good to be at peace, like how to benefit for each other.

No matter what we do, we can't say how effective (or less effective) our strategies in gambling are because, in the end, we are still the losers of the game while casinos are earning more. The message that the article is telling us is that there is a way to avoid big losses from gambling addiction. Now, it was on our part how we manage ourselves and listen to the advice of old-time gamblers. But seems not to believe someone who will say that their strategies really working, that is not far from being a liar or scammer.

Choose a game

I agree with this, Gamblers who have a specific game they gamble on and have been gambling on for a time usually have a higher chance of winning although it is still not guaranteed. But playing one game can greatly affect and improve the knowledge of a game that you play and increase your chances of winning.

• Choose a game
• Create a logical system
• Record the data of the bet
• Try the demo of the game to practice
• Do bankroll management
• Make sure that you have enough money for gambling(play only what you can afford to lose)
• Put a limit to losses
• Listen to the advice of the winning pros
• Focus on our bet
• Learn to accept losses
• Know when to quit.

In addition, just as traders are adviced not to trade with emotions, gamblers should avoid gambling with uncontrolled emotions. Just as emotions can affect your bets, It can also make you gamble more than you have planned to, loosing more money in the process.

[Doan9269]

The article suggested that one should Develop a style and stick with it.  For those who do not know how the list below can give you a hint.

• Choose a game
• Create a logical system
• Record the data of the bet
• Try the demo of the game to practice
• Do bankroll management
• Make sure that you have enough money for gambling(play only what you can afford to lose)
• Put a limit to losses
• Listen to the advice of the winning pros
• Focus on our bet
• Learn to accept losses
• Know when to quit.

All these are good suggestions and there's nothing bad in taking them into considerations, but I think they will rather be more effective on beginners, those are the gamblers that are just coming in and needs to set some targets and plan to how they needed to engage their gambling lifestyle unlike those that have been well experienced enough in gambling and to even implement any change or alterations to how they have been used to in gambling becomes a tedious task for them, an average gambler can manage himself right except for those that are too outrageous to how far they can go in gambling.

I think focusing on number 5, 6, 10, and 11 will be fit for gamblers so they can manage their time and money for playing gambling. They have their limits on gambling and not trying to break it for their good. I agree with @OP saying that number 10 and 11 is the key not to chase the loss and being addicted to gambling. But it is not easy as it say because we must always remember our purpose of playing gambling and not breaking our rule if we don't want to lose much money. Knowing when you must quit is another preventions from a big loss but not many can do this so you should always remember to take care of yourselves.

[_act_]

The author is not even sure if what he wrote can provide a perfect strategy to a reader who wants to gamble.

Learn to accept loss. Really?  And then quit!
At first he give you a list of ideas that would make you hopeful at some point that you may hit big thru them but if it ain't a success. Just learn you lose and then stop?   

The author did not mean if a gamblers lose he should quit gambling forever, he only meant that the gambler should quit gambling for that day or for that period of time until when he will have the correct thinking about gambling again. This is one of the best strategies that good gamblers are using because when to lose most in gambling is when you are losing but not quit and continuing gambling, this is the period some people are tempted to use more money to bet in a way that all their money in bank can be used to gamble until they have lost all to gambling.

I can see through what article aims. Logic must be the most important part of gambling. When someone bets or gambles, he should be able to calculate results. Mathematics is a must for sure. Wheb you see someone only chasing his/her luck, you will see that person is not good gambling personality. Recording data of bet is obviously another best thing to do because there is no better way to measure chances. Its first party data received. You can measure your weaknesses through.

I think the strategy in gambling should be used for fun if to fight against the casino in the end you will lose as well as you feel, I mean to have fun gambling is not to focus on targeted wins, for example chasing losses or chasing certain profits, just play to fill the void and seek pleasure because it will be better

I have tried any strategy, it is true that in the end the casino will win, if we control ourselves to stop playing when we lose, then we have won against ourselves, including the casino will not get our money until it runs out. victory is defeating our emotions in gambling.

[Frankolala]

In gambling your strategy that works for you,might not work out for me. As a gambler,it is better than we get our winning strategy ourselves in order to make us enjoy the game and when you lose,you can know that it was from your wrong moves or you were unlucky in the game.

Gambling should be for entertainment and not for profit making,if along the line you win so be it and enjoy your wins. But if you lost,you should also accept your loss and move on with life. When you gamble for profit, you will end up chasing your lost and let yourself be controlled by your emotion. You should also have time duration for your gambling activities and when the time elapse you should quit, in order to avoid gambling addiction.

I think there have been a lot of people by now who came up with the magical recipe that turns others allegedly into winners. Usually it is about selling products on a website or getting people to play on certain websites because the article suggests that this strategy works with a casino. Eventually if you gamble long enough you are usually ending up with a loss. The best example is doubling your position when you lost, trying to make up for the round before that. In roulette that is done often by people because they think it is impossible for one color to not show 20 times in a row or something like that. But it turns out that even that strategy is a losing strategy in any case if you play long enough. If there was a legal, guaranteed winning strategy, wouldn't most casinos be broke by now? If I as a casino provider knew a winning strategy, I could go myself to other casinos and exploit it.

A strategy is only a guide which may focus on risk management or actual game plan. But still, it won't guarantee winning 'coz that makes gambling, "gambling". However I agree with your point that if a strategy works with player 1 it won't give an assurance to player 2 that it won't work as well into him. Factors are there such as different amount of capital, playing time, game perhaps, and the likes. Every player should have their own strategy atleast to minimize the tendency of losing that much than to focus with just winning 'coz such mindset will just result to frustration and bigger cuts. No matter what strategy you are using, even if it came from big shots of this industry, if you are unlucky, then you'd lose. So just choose to enjoy.

So what do you think about the list of instructions stated by the article, are they good enough to keep a person to have an edge against the gambling platform?

[1] https://ftnnews.com/other-news/44458-how-to-perfect-your-gambling-strategy

Those instructions are good enough to keep you from getting in any kind of trouble when you gamble but this is not enough to become a profitable gambler, as not a single one of the points given deals with how to overcome the house edge the casinos have over the player, and without it then no strategy can become successful long term.

Now it is true that doing such thing is possible on only a handful of games, which means the number of games gamblers can pick are extremely limited if they want to become a profitable gambler.

I personally think all these gambling strategies are a bunch of crap. I have yet to find one strategy that are 100% foolproof. I have trawled the Internet for years to find a strategy that will work 100% of the time and they all fail eventually. 

There are too many "random" things happening with gambling... like your RNG and your client/server seed ....and all of these things are used to determine the outcome of each individual bet.

If we are looking for a strategy to beat the house, then we can only find one piece of advice.  Quit when we are winning and never come back.  If we do that, we can say we beat the house because we pocketed the winnings.  But the moment we come back we might need to find something that will guide us to reduce our losses because every gamblers know, in a marathon play, no one will beat the house.

The guides stated are just a guide to minimize losses, get familiar with the game by knowing the statistics, changes, triggers and more.  Coupled with it are the bankrupt reduction advice like Bankroll management, stop losses, limit losses and eventually quitting or taking a break.

There are too many "random" things happening with gambling... like your RNG and your client/server seed ....and all of these things are used to determine the outcome of each individual bet.

True that gambling is all about randomness but one thing can't be random and that is how we manage our bankroll and how much we are betting each round.  These are the area where we have full control, and if we don't want our bankroll to get busted completely, applying some advice on the list will help us do it.

Yes, in gambling, bets must use logic and of course take everything into account using mathematics so that what we spend can be proportional to the profit we get because if not then gamblers will never have experience and insight in playing. gamble.
Whereas in gambling, you don't only use a certain amount of money to bet, but you also have to use reason to calculate it. That way, gamblers can be said to be professional gamblers.
I like what you're saying but it's very rare that I meet gamblers who have that kind of thinking.

A logical fact with your last question, it's true if there's a real winning strategy we might see lots of casinos that's already broke now.

But the fact that we continue to see more and more gambling business to open up, meaning to say that
there's many losing gambler than those who manage to gain something from the house.

I like that argument that the winning chance playing in the long-term might lead you to lose your money
and that's mostly the case.
