Can a mathematician figure out how to win in gambling?

[Hispo]

For the fact that a person is great at mathematics should mean he would do numbers with winning streaks should he be gambling because most often than not it's not about how much calculations you put into the game before staking that determines the outcome, just be that person who's very lucky and effortlessly you can be making profits more often while someone somewhere with all that equations and calculations about a game be it casino games or sports hasn't made a single win after multiple plays.

Ironically, the more a person understand about mathematics, the least likely if for such person to start gambling in the first place, you know?

Being good at math or being a professional which is involved in the world of mathematics, implies one has a very solid knowledge on statistics, which is the branch of math that studies chances. And knowing how statistically one is destined to lose on casinos, it would be reasonable for anyone to become discouraged to gamble.

There is a saying I read somewhere on the internet about lotteries and those who played them: "Mathematicians do not play lottery".

Being a mathematician in the field of gambling won't make someone crazy rich, but it helps them avoid getting bankrupt. That's the only thing that I can think of, on how being a mathematician helps them with their gambling journey. Outside of that will depend on luck, probability, and a little bit of analysis (not necessarily needs complex maths).

One of the advantage of being good at math, is that they easily understand whether or not the odds are good or off. They also understand winning percentages and of course they are also good at calculating their bankrolls, so most likely they can manage it well, as well.

Is this different and difficult for them to solve and figure out who is supposed to win or score in the next rounds in football?

Your opinion is highly appreciated.

It’s to figure the math behind the game if it’s using a complete random way to determine the result. Mathematicians can just know well the winning percentage of each bet but definitely can’t figure out how to take advantage of the game except on poker, blackjack and sports betting which analysis can improve winning percentage.

this your response it just exactly what i was thinking about especially the part i bolded. yeah.. if any game, be it sportbet game,  slot or roulette game was programmed to follow a pattern or a mathematical formula, and that formula is discovered then the house will definitely go down the mud because that will be the end of such game. so i believe this games are programmed to produce result randomly and not follow a pattern. because if it was a mathematically formula, by now the best mathematician would have solved the answer and all casino closed down.

Some times I ask my self this question,when I was much younger schooling in secondary school I saw one of my teacher who is a mathematician he solve different maths algebra, statistics,in fact they normally pay him to teach in many private school,but till now he is still suffering in the local community,and this question enter my mind if mathematician can solve different equations why can't them be the richest in gambling.

Gambling it's not by power or smartness, it is a game that luck plays a significant role in determining the final outcome. Please and please don't reason that way because gambling it's not a source of income, there's no skill or strategy that can easily guarantee you winnings in gambling, because the game is program for the house to benefit more than the gamblers.

Never you in any way think of become rich quick through gambling so let your mathematics teacher be managing as he is managing and hope on something else because gambling is merly for entertainment.

I don't think so,a mathematician can understand gambling very well,but that doesn't make him a guaranteed winner for gambling.They can understand probability of the game and it's easier for them to identify when something in the game is not functional or yielding.Don't try to tell me every gambler that wins is a good mathematician.If maths does it all then there'll more wins of course.Maths helps with playing gambling using structure,but it doesn't make you win.

Don't believe in those things you see on movie, they are just fiction. Yes we may be able to calculate the probability of how events occurs but most times they are simply theory's that doesn't always meets up in reality.. if it was possible then alot of young scholars would have by now cracked the code and be making themselves rich through gambling.. and as for casino games they are simply algorithms mixing ups random outcomes making it hard to guess which time or moment a win or loss would occur. And even if such person were able to study the algorithms, the casino would either restrict them from playing on the casino or increase the difficulty of their games..

I don't think that will make him win. The problem is different, in my opinion, from gambling, which we know depends largely on luck. But let's say everyone will do their best in their bets to win, there is still no certainty of winning, even if they are mathematicians.

Even with so-called professional gamblers, I don't think it means they can win consistently or that their wins can last long-term, because gambling simply can't be predicted with complete accuracy.

[asriloni]

Being so good in math won't guarantee someone to win in gambling. I don't say math ain't really working, but in some games such as blackjack and poker math are quite useful in help you in winning the game. Why i said that? It's caused by other games already designed to put the casino in favor.

In Blackjack, you can win it by smartly counting your cards, calculate your deck to win it. Meanwhile, in poker, as long as you can outsmart other players, their money is yours.

However, it totally different when it comes to the slot game. Your match is just being useless. The only luck is the thing that can help you to win it.

I'm absolutely certain that math whizzes are the most successful people in gambling. No, they don't have extra chances in slots or dice to win endlessly. They succeed in games like poker and blackjack. Especially in poker, because in this game, only a mathematician can be strong. No other mindset can help in this game as much as the ability to quickly calculate the odds in a deck. Knowing how "overheated" it is.
And that's great, it's a shame casinos now specifically track such people and kick them out.

It seems to me that the answer is right in front of you. If your teacher has to work at a school and solve students’ homework for a small extra fee, then there is no way for him to make money gambling using his mathematical knowledge. If that were possible, he would have been rich a long time ago and living somewhere in a house by the sea, instead of solving homework assignments for kids.

Not in history I have seen a maths wizard won a jackpot, it's always some random person that doesn't even understand where their life is going. As a sporty better, you don't have to be a maths wizard to understand gambling fully, if it works like that I'm very certain that with the numbers of mathematics and statistics first class student's that we have today, many of them will be wandering on bookmakers trying to make a win that will change their life.

You just need to be a simple analyst and that's all, sport gambling doesn't need much from you because even people that are not educated makes money from sport gambling, they watch match more than even the educated people. It's from those matches they watch and analyze outcome of the next event, this work very well for them. If you imagine such kind of people to be making money without understanding anything about maths, now imagine how much maths gurus will be making from gambling if what OP says it's true.

If mathematicians can figure out how to win in gambling I believe we will have maths professors who will be billionaires, I know many people that are highly intelligent, they will all likely leave their jobs to figure out equations on how to win in gambling. I believe that many mathematically skilled people have tried to beat the house to win but nobody can figure out how to beat luck. Casinos must know that mathematical knowledge cannot guarantee wins in gambling and that is why their business is thriving, if it's possible to have sure wins through calculations gamblers that relys on AI for statistics should be winning millions everyday.

It’s possible in the past when card counting still exists on Blackjack table. There’s a group of ex MIT students that manage to win huge money by playing blackjack on different casino.

Card counting requires a good memorization skills on number which a mathematician have an edge for this game.

However, casino already solve this loophole by introducing continual shuffling and multiple decks to fight card counting.

[YOSHIE]

Can a mathematician figure out how to win in gambling?

Yes, but not in all types of games, as far as I know a mathematician can calculate the chances of winning and playing strategies to minimize the possibility of winning.

As has happened in Blackjack or Poker games, a mathematician can calculate the advantage of the dealer's cards, of course by using mathematical formulas or other things such as analyzing certain cards that come out, In essence mathematicians changed gambling in their way of calculating numbers and risk games to Blackjack or Poker type games.

Some questions are just so funny, how will being good in maths help you to win football bets are they solving equations on the field with the football? Football is a sports game and those with the best players always ends up winning in most occasions. They don't set mathematical problems for the athletes to solve, that's why maths tutors are not the richest when it comes to gambling.

Mathematics and statistics works better in dice games some of the die are manipulated and maths professionals get better wins from playing with manipulated ones, they are the sellers to casinos and have a working algorithm for calculating a manipulated die.

Yes, but not in all types of games, as far as I know a mathematician can calculate the chances of winning and playing strategies to minimize the possibility of winning.

That is the keyword there, calculate the "chance", but still there are this slight of varies that might not give us a win despite the calculations that we have made based on math and think that is reliable.

Blackjack's card counting is one as it is well documented already. But in sports betting, it's not a guarantee, and that's why there are odds for that matter. Even sport bookies who are making those odds are not safe even if you bet on the favorite with even 1.1x odds.

There is a saying I read somewhere on the internet about lotteries and those who played them: "Mathematicians do not play lottery".

In that case their mathematical knowledge helps them to stay away from it, having statistically analyse what the probability is more likely to turn, they focus on statistical outcome, one that's informed by data than luck. Meanwhile going by the data, gamblers are in huge losses and people that are mathematically sound wouldn't want to take the chances maybe that's they don't involve in any manner of activity that's determined by chance such as lottery.

If he understands gambling better and also mathematician, he may trying solving different equations and figure out who will win. But that is not easy because he must really know what he must do and starting it. But some people who can mathematics sometimes don't want to involve in gambling and their ego's could be high than others who curious about mathematic. Besides that, we don't know what algorithm that the casino used in their games so that will not just expert in mathematic but also have another skills needed.

As you have already been told, the answer is no. In addition, mathematics is now done by computer, bookies who adjust the odds use statistical programmes to do so. A mathematician cannot compete with that. He can use another programme but he won't be able to beat the juice long term. What's more, mathematicians are among the professions that gamble the least, buy the fewest lottery tickets, etc. Because they know what's what.
