Gambling

Theoretically speaking if you could predict the algorithm in an online casino wouldn't you be able to predict the game and win a lot let's just say you had access to the algorithm and you were able to replicate it you would practically be able to win all the games

You are talking about digital games I guess, because there is no algorithm into a dice roll, a wheel throw, or a shuffle of cards, especially when it's done by one human. So you won't be able to crack any live casino game by trying to do that, and it's almost the same for digital games, if the entropy/randomness of the game is fairly provided by an efficient RNG generator, especially a TRNG using a physical source of entropy(randomness), you have no chance to find a loophole for guessing the outcomes.

Yes, in theory it is very possible to do that by reverse engineering the algorithm of the online casinos and their games but in real life it's not an easy task and can't be done by a person with no knowledge of programming and reverse engineering. In fact these days most of the famous casinos detect such activity easily and if a player does something shady then they directly ban the player's account with any warning.

The casinos are there because they mostly rely on the house edge and if someone get success in doing something that may cause the casino losses then surely they work on their algorithm again and fix such issues by changing their algorithm. I know that there can be some advanced level reverse engineers and hackers who can easily find vulnerabilities in casino games but they won't be able to gain any profits for long term and they might not be able to withdraw the profits because casino will freeze those withdrawals.

Unless the system is fair enough, the algorithm used for those games and how they generate their numbers can't be predicted. That's why games based on randomly generated numbers are won by luck and not by skill because there is nothing there for you to study and understand what number will come next and which one will not come next.
 
Like I said earlier, unless the casino is using a genuine system where they only use the random number generator to back up their fraud, somehow someone will notice their techniques and how they predict the game and use that against them; if not, I don't think it's possible to beat their algorithm.

For Casino games, I think it's not as simple as you are thinking. These algorithms are complex and random too. However I always believe the games are designed to give benefit to the house, not the players. The algorithm also ensures that the players do not lose interest and leave games.

For sure they would really be making out those tweaks that they would really be always having the advantage on which its understandable considering that they are running a business and we do know that they would really be having those edge against their players but of course they would be setting out that those advantage wont really be that heavily be going into their side and they would
really be normally setting out that their players could really be able to win up. So that it wont really be that removing the fun and excitement because they do still know and feel that they can
really be able to win up on the time that they would be playing. This is why it would really be that normal on having those kind of set up.Tweaking? Its not really
that an easy thing, if it was easy then everyone could be able to do so.

Theoretically speaking even if we know the algorithm it is hard to predict the outcome of the game due to the result is random.  I do not heard anyone who can precisely tell the result of the game even if they knew about the algorithm of that game.  It is because it was created to have a random result, the algorithm itself can't detect what would be the next random thing, it is like drawing a raffle that although we know the list of number inside the drawbox, we still can't tell what number will be picked next.

Because this is just theoretical thinking and not reality it will not be possible. There are many things that if theoretically they can be determined, then it means that gambling would no longer be unpredictable, but we know that that does not happen and that would not happen anytime soon. Even if you manage to get your hands on the algorithm in an online casino, I am sure that it will be changed or updated on the notice that too many people are winning through it or a particular gambler like you is recording a series of successive wins without any losses.

In theory, everything is possible! In practice, the casino team would catch you and very likely confiscate your entire bankroll... so it's best to be a fair player and not risk being accused of fraud.

Casinos can have bugs that can be exploited, but instead of cheating the casino and risking your deposits that can be confiscated you can try to report it and you can get a fair reward. Good luck!

It's easier said than done, that's the reality.

You know that these casinos are doing their own business and they have all the measures to counter anything that goes against their fairness for their players.

Naturally, they always the have edge against their players but if they've seen some players that have been constantly winning and that doesn't go according to their normal process then you know what's coming next.

This could be possible theoretically, but in reality its hard to know the algorithm and many are still struggling to get a win because the house will always win. Imagine if all gamblers know how to beat the house then for sure there will be no casinos anymore as they will go bankrupt by paying every gamblers who hit the jackpot, so let’s be more realistic here.

[Wexnident]

Don't the algorithms and formulas used by casinos use random (or pseudo) numbers? Even if you knew the algorithm, as long as you can't find that key number that lets you discover the result, it doesn't matter if you had the algorithm or not. It probably increases your chances of being able to guess a game though by brute forcing it across x number of games, but it's not necessarily a guarantee to winning one. Otherwise devs or anyone who knew the algorithm would have quite the field day for it.

[AjithBtc]

Predicting the algorithm and winning is really tough, and very few might have succeeded in the past. Nowadays, things are much more advanced, and the technological advancement never lets the gamblers find an opportunity to win out of the mistakes at the casinos. I've come across the story of a gambler The professor who beat roulette who had collected data and won in roulette in different casinos. Before the usage of algorithms, he studied the wear and tear of machines and made a fortune. Some casinos banned him from gambling.

Predicting the algorithm? You will get nothing even if you knew it's algorithm, casino algo doesn't work like 1+1=2 that you can predict the outcome. Even casino can't tell the specific outcome of the bet if rolled. Because it uses random numbers using cryptography.
The only way you can do something like that is if you find a bug and abuse it, but don't expect it could be that easy because you will be in trouble later on.

[FatFork]

I guess it depends on whether the casino is being fair or not.  If they've got some provably fair algorithm that uses random numbers to decide each game, then nope - no way to beat that.  The whole point of RNGs is that the results are impossible to predict. 

But yeah, if the casino is shady and messes with the outcomes, then sure maybe their algorithm or whatever could be analyzed to figure out a winning strategy.  Like if they just re-use certain sequences of random numbers, then you could spot the pattern.  That's why the legit places make a big deal about being provably fair - it proves the games aren't rigged.

As long as its truly random each time, there's no beating it through math or anything.  You might get lucky for a bit, but probability always catches up in the end.  Unless you count card in blackjack - that's using your brain rather than an algorithm!  But they'll kick you out quick if you get too good at it.

I believe you have many misconceptions about how gambling is supposed to work. You may have already an idea on how it does in the real world, by the use of machines and mechanisms like roulettes and dices which help to generate results which are very difficult to guess by any player, those are generators or entropy, physical ones.
In the caso of the online casinos, you cannot cheat by "knowing the algorithm", because that algorithm itself does not pick the results, what it does is to use some source of entropy to generate random numbers which then are used to get a result on the display on the user who is gambling.

You are implying gambling is something which is already pre-set or pre-destined by a program, but that is not how it works, it would be rather fishy and unfair if so. If you have an advice, I would tell you to read hot random number generators work and their application on gambling, you will learn a lot, I am sure of it.

Algorithms for them are too random for anyone to crack. At least that's what i have been told. However, there was a case in Finland where man found a way to cheat with physical slot games, and no one seems to know how he did it.  Article is only in finnish so maybe you have automatic translation:
https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/mies-keksi-keinon-huijata-veikkauksen-pelikoneita-pumppasi-kasinolta-33-000-euroa-konsti-on-yha-mysteeri-kaikille/8638254#gs.3adxiw

Personally i feel that if someone actually managed to crack the code, they should get to keep the winnings, as it's the slot provider's job to make algorithm less predictable. But then again i don't know if he used some electronic devices to disturb the machines. Article says that he just recorded the games with his phone before he started winning, and that police knows cases where criminal groups have cracked pseudorandom number generator algorithms before.

So i guess at least in the past there has been a change for that.

You might be able to guess the game's outcome if you can predict the algorithm when playing at an online casino. But it's important to remember that online casinos might employ advanced encryption technology along with random number generators to guarantee fair gameplay and prohibit players from guessing the results of any given game. It won't be simple either since, as I'm sure you know, there are advanced security systems in place to track player behavior and, of course, they can identify any suspicious activity occurring in your account.
 You have no match for them because the house is always in the favor and will ensure that you do not win more than you can afford to.

[Chato1977]

Theoretically, Yes you will be able to predict and win all games.
Practically, it is next to impossible to hack the algorithm and if someone succeeded to do so, the system will detect the pattern and lock you out.

- Jay -

Completely correct , the system  will surely detect those who  have been closer to their algorithm and yes will either locked or banned your account confiscating  your funds , Gambling sites now are aware of either cheating or taking deep into their Algo so it will trigger the alarm and the team will confront or declare against your account.

Lucky for you if make it out before the system took action , but normally you will not because Gambling site is money making machine to favor the team and owner , and not the players.

Well, I don't think the account itself will suffer from the banning or locked account because an algorithm is a set of finite rules or instructions to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, meaning this algorithm is being used for the gambling games to generate the winning number or winning choices, so if you can access the website and its system, then you can access the system that is generating the algorithm combination for the gambling games, and you can always win 100%. Of course, if you are smart, you will not use your account, right? What may go wrong if, for example, the system or the website itself notices that you are always winning? Then they will go suspicious and investigate the case.
Technology is powerful; if you can locate the vulnerability of a website, you can access its system, and the favour will be in your hands, but there is a greater risk for that, and as we know, it is illegal. If you are caught hacking their system, then it's a sentence for you.

There is no specific algorithm that a particular casino game follows. Hence if you try to analyse each and every pattern for the outcome, then you will get nothing other than a deadend. It follows random generation technique to give the outcomes according to my knowledge. Neither you, nor the casino can control the outcomes. So in order to win a match, you need to be extremely lucky. That is everything that you need in order to win a casino game.

If you can predict the algorithms in online casinos, you can definitely win a lot. But you can't predict it accurately. There may be a standard algorithm used but the casino will not stick to that algorithm because this is a business. Casinos must have changed certain codes so that the algorithms will become increasingly difficult to predict.

If you can have access to the algorithm, it proves you know how to get into the system and only a few people can do it. Even if you can get into the system and have access, the casino will definitely not sit still and will change the security codes. We can't get into casinos easily.

Indeed, you can win all the games if you can access the algorithm, but it is very difficult. The casino will definitely monitor its security system well.
