Is the ‘All-In’ Gambling Strategy a Smart Move or an Unhealthy Risk?

[DubemIfedigbo001]

I’m just sharing the idea here, openly and curiously. Have you ever tried this method before, and what was your conclusion?

I do it a lot in poker tournaments, but unfortunately we're talking about live games. So I'm not going to do those strategies that can destroy my fun. I mean, I have a budget to gamble small amounts to enjoy some free time in a few weeks or even in a month. And I will use it as wisely as possible betting and enjoying what I want to do without ruining my mood. And for me this kind of strategy is more suitable for gamblers who are chasing momentary gains or more feasible if the remaining budget is only 2% or 1% left and go all in.

Permit me to presume you are very good in it, P2P games even scare me the more since there is a possibility of being merged with a much stronger opponent every time and I would be very afraid to go all in.

It also appeals more to me to be able to go on for a longer time in gambling, still within my budget which is the main reason I gamble with little amounts for a longer time instead of going all in and last only few minutes.

In poker? Yes it is.

Casino game? Stupidity at its peak.

This makes sense.

I typically all in in poker when I think that I'm winning with the cards in my hands. But if I know that it won't make sense and have upperhand, I'll fold.

But in casino games, I don't think it's stupidity when someone does that. All-in doesn't mean that you should only do it with huge amounts but, if we have a remaining small amount of bucks, we could all in with that as well.

Going all in can still work if you got the less likely cards to win because you don't have to win, all you need is to make everyone on the table that you're winning and that's what I call it as an actual strategy.

But in casino it's just random so going all in just taking a leap of faith without even knowing what will happen.

I’m curious to know if others in the community have ever considered the All-In gambling strategy. In a game of pure chance, could it actually be smarter to bet everything in one go instead of spreading out your bankroll over time? As you know, most casino games come with a house edge. Let’s say around 5% (Actually it's between 0.5 to 6%, and it depends). If you start with $100 and place $1 bets, you lose about 5 cents per hand on average. Sure, the results may change, but the longer you play, the more accurate the math becomes. After 1K hands, you’ll likely be down around $50.

That got me wondering: if more hands mean more chances for the house edge to win more and more, wouldn’t betting it all in one shot give you a better chance to win, at least in the short term? One crazy move could double or triple your stake. Of course, it could also make you regret it for the rest of the month if you spend the money meant for 30 days of play and lose it in 1 second, then find yourself bored for the rest of the month.

To be clear, I’m not advising anyone to do this...IT'S DANGEROUS. Personally, I don’t see the “all-in” approach as a responsible way to play. I prefer having fun, staying in control, and knowing when to stop. But I’ve seen some seasoned gamblers who really believe in it. Maybe they’ve found a kind of excitement or satisfaction that I haven’t quite found yet.

I’m just sharing the idea here, openly and curiously. Have you ever tried this method before, and what was your conclusion?

To those who are aiming to make money and doesnt want to have fun, then this kind of strategy would be the main thing that you will be trying out to make use on which having that all-in bet then it will be a do-or-die thing for you on which just like been said that it will be costing up that entire budget for the entire month that would be blown up away on a single bet on which it will be that a very sad thing to happen on this case.For those who do wanted to make use of their budget on gradual or slowly manner then its common sense that they will be trying out to make it by parts and whether they would be losing or winning on a particular day then this is the time that you would be having that complete pause or break or you do call it a day. Usually people do failed up on doing so specially at the moment that they've been that wanting to have more or simply being greedy then it will be that so hard to stop on this case. There are just that those conditions that some could think off well and others could not.

Its an unhealthy risks as we do all know when you do have that behavior on trying out to all in because we dont want to have longer sessions and much prefer that the game will be just that ending up on instantaneous when dealing up with luck based games and neither be going all in when betting up on sports on which it will be basing up on someones choice or preference on what type of gambling that they are getting involved into. Smart move will be only considered at the moment that you do able to stop at the moment that you are neither winning or losing. Strategy on gambling like all in is just suicide.
Majority will be not that thinking about the consequences if they would be doing it out but since they are aiming for making money then they would definitely be doing it.

There's no Wisdom in doing a thing like that, especially with that mindset -- unless on special cases of you being a big bettor, then I can agree with you. The aftermath of this story strategy hits hard like the way Martingale does... What you stand to lose might be more greater than what you're anticipating. On top of that, chances are that you might lose 9.9999 times out of 10 tries, not worth the risk at all.

Maybe they’ve found a kind of excitement or satisfaction that I haven’t quite found yet.

in an actual sense, what sort of satisfaction can one derive from spending everything they should have budgeted for a month on a single ticket, but then still lose? I don't even want to try it. Any strategy that tells me that the more money I can bet would get me more profit is a scam.

Well, for me it's not a good idea unless you're in hurry to win/lose and don't want to stay longer. Often, this is happening if a gambler is in bad losing streak. Using a martingale strategy or going all in can recover the losses with profit, place for being desperate.

Anyway, for luck-based games, it's a big NO. But for skill based like sports or poker, the case would be depending on how confident I am.

[Nwada001]

Increasing your bets isn't a smart move even though it looks like an easy way to make profit and also too recover your losses but if you consider the risks involved it's not worth it. It's a hard pill to swallow but people who go all in are addicted gamblers, some claim to do this because of several reasons just to avoid the topic of being addicted. No bet is worth a high stake even if you are sure of the outcome.

It's a risk some people are willing to take; they say it's best they go all in and accept the fate of whatever the outcome will be, even if it doesn't end in their favour. Some will argue that they are not addicted to gambling for doing that; rather, they try to save their time and energy by making such betting decisions, knowing fully well that they could also lose the entire amount of money while going in little by little.

Of course, in this case you will experience a rush of adrenaline, but keep in mind that this is the fastest way to lose all your money. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule when you are playing poker and you have a Royal Flush in your hands.

[Raflesia]

I wouldn't say that this is a smart move but on the other hand I wouldn't say that it's unhealthy either because in this situation I would rather say that it's too aggressive and a rash move to make as a gambler.

All in in betting is allowed but in the end aggressive moves like this should be full of consideration because you don't want to get into trouble just because you go all in in betting.
Gamble naturally in the sense that not only do we manage our time, finances and mentality as gamblers but in terms of gambling strategies and the steps we take when we gamble so that we don't fall into something that cannot be anticipated as a form of consequence.
I will not say all in is a mistake because it is also not prohibited but as long as you are not ready to lose quickly then it would be better to avoid aggressive methods like this.

Randomly in casino games is like betting all because you have to go.

But in poker, you've got the confidence of doing an all in because you know that your cards are about to win and you are the strongest for that time.

It is a strategy to also bluff, only you know it if you're bluffing.

[blockman]

But for skill based like sports or poker, the case would be depending on how confident I am.

I typically do an all in if I think that I am confident as well. But it's also a good strategy when you can scare the other hands in the table if you do that earlier. It's giving them an idea that you've got a good hand at that round so, it makes sense to do such when your having some pairs or high cards at that moment. Someone who's going to do that probably won't get a huge pot because others who will also going to do an all in at that moment is also a risk taker just as you. I have encountered with those kind of poker players before and it's a make it or break it moment.

Of course, there are exceptions to this rule when you are playing poker and you have a Royal Flush in your hands.

Also the other notable strong combinations, full house, etc...

Basically this is a strategy that is not recommended for responsible gamblers, especially those who gamble for the purpose of just getting entertainment, however, i personally have made all-in bets, have different reasons every time i do it, but most often it is caused by curiosity and the hope of getting big profits in a short time, in this case adrenaline is very high here, not infrequently when finally experiencing defeat feelings of annoyance and anger arise and of course regret.

This is very high risk, therefore it is not recommended for gamblers who do not want to lose money in a short time, sometimes placing an all-in bet looks like a desperate person, but not infrequently this brings big profits at every momentum.

[qwertyup23]

Of course all-in betting is bullshit strategy to do.

I do not call it a strategy but it is not a bullshit for me. Sometimes I just go all in all on a roulette which I gamble most among casino games. I have lost the last 5 rounds since some weeks ago now but I just feel like not to stay long but gamble all at once. I am not expecting money from gambling. I use little amount of money to gamble and I am satisfied with it.

There are times that I use small amount for more rounds but I am very busy these days and I feel like gambling for a short time recently. 2% or less of my weekly income on gambling.

I consider such strategy as an all-out desperation move of a gambler especially if they are in a high-risk situation.

Normally, an all-betting strategy may work in poker as a bluff in order to trick the opponent into thinking that you have superior cards than them. Sure, this strategy works sometimes but when people call your bluff especially if you have weaker cards, expect opposite results on your end. In reality, an all-in strategy should always be considered as an calculated risk rather than a Hail Mary shot of risking everything.

However, if you consider the all-in strategy where you are in a worse position, then you should definitely be ready for the worst result. Sometimes, this kind of strategy also works in order to stop the person from gambling all together. The reason?- if they lose, they stop; if they win, they continue.

In poker? Yes it is.

No one should go all in on a casino game like fed-up with something and decided to spend their entire balance (decent to big amount) then it's not going to change the fate of us and we are decreasing our chances of winning with all in because mathematically you got more chances to win if you bet more times so be sensible and don't bet in a rush.

You are right, in poker it is a reckless move and can cause panic in some players, for that reason only the player knows in this case why he goes all in, I have done it and wow the adrenaline goes up to very high levels, in the casino I agree with you, it is something that is like suicide, it is putting luck to the test and for me that is not good, I would not do something like that with my money, even if I were very angry, it is like saying goodbye to money.

All-in isn't a good method to gamble. If it was worthy, people wouldn't have developed strategies such as Martingale, which are also pretty disastrous on long run, although much better than all-in on short run. If you use your entire bankroll to place a single bet, you won't have any means to continue gambling if you lose. It means you don't have a slight recovery chance, while by using other strategies you have at least some chance of making nice profit on the following bets.

All-in is just a desperate move by gamblers who don't know what to do anymore. Probably they have already lost so much money that only a single, heavy and accurate shot could bring them back to the game. Personally, I have never tried this method, but I confess I've already felt tempted to do when I faced harsh losses in gambling...

That is very true. Because if you want to prolong your stay in the casino and just want to have some past time or have some fun, you will bet small and not the "all in" strategy. You can do this maybe if you are doing sportsbetting, and you are very confident with yourself that you will win with your bet. So going all in is quite a good step to earn more profits. But you should not discard the side that you can also lose even if you know the sports very well. There are still blind spots in the game that you may not integrate in your decisions.

I personally could comprehend someone using such All-in strategy when comes to sportbettting, because there are cases in which it seems pretty much obvious what the outcome of a match is going to be. But I could not understand the case of someone going all in while playing a casino game like slots, mines, blackjack, or even Plinko.
It just rather like a way to end one's casino session in the shortest time possible and deplet ones bankroll as fast as possible, getting the  minimum of entertainment.

I have seen very few cases of going All-in and having positive outcomes for the gambler, so I would never recommend anyone to go for such an "strategy", specially to novice gamblers.

Placing small bets is still the best choice for gamblers who are just looking for entertainment by gambling, as you said, this allows us to be able to play longer, can enjoy every moment and also by placing small bets can minimise the risk of loss, can create more opportunities, even the opportunity to make a profit is greater here compared to gamblers who choose the all in option that only relies on luck.

Someone said, it's better to drown than to get partially wet. I think you know what that means when it comes to gambling, it means they are better off betting with all the power of their budget than losing it all bit by bit. Not many people actually win consistently over the long term, most will just lose and lose their money. All in may not be a good approach for some people, but it might be good for those who really try their luck, especially those who can handle the risks.

I would probably bet $50 on one game instead of $10 on 5 games, it's a choice although the risk is different. I am responsible for gambling decisions, so there is no longer a problem if I lose my deposit. Losing and winning is normal, what is unusual is losing in a row and never winning.

[STT]

Its the perfect solution if you only have 5 minutes to gamble, its the worst idea if you still got the rest of the day to kill time and now you got no capital for your game to have fun, all depends what do you want.    It could be the best idea for anyone ends up over thinking their gambling as you dont have time to screw it up, either you won or you didnt and a roulette might be the best thing for some people.   Im more of the drawn out variety personally and I at least want to feel like I played a game even if I lost the money while doing so but its horses for courses and each to their own.

[Apocollapse]

Yep.

I think the only way to profitable in gambling is bet large amount money in short time, if you hit the amount that can recover all of your previous losses + profit, then stop to gamble forever.

If you coming back to gamble whether it's tomorrow, next month or next year, you no longer profitable because the house edge will drain all of your bankroll.
