Can a mathematician figure out how to win in gambling?

[Rockstarguy]

In mathematics, there are patterns and rules in solving problems, and if you understand mathematical rules, you can be able to solve any problems in mathematics. Problems in mathematics are solvable when you understand mathematics, but in gambling, it is not like that. In gambling, winning is not certain; it is by luck.

No matter how intelligent you may be in predicting gambling outcomes, it is not a guarantee. Nobody knows it all when it comes to gambling; it's very uncertain. The reason why the OP thinks this way is that he feels mathematics is so difficult, and if there are people who are good at solving problems in mathematics, they can handle gambling to win. It doesn't work that way in gambling; nothing changes gambling from what it is.

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.
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.

In in gambling like slots and lotteries, he won't be able to use mathematics to his advantage. In the case of card games, he might have a better chance when playing in casinos. For sports betting, mathematics can also be very helpful, but it will depend on the amount of time he spends researching and how much information he can gather. He will also need to watch games to learn about the teams, their players, and their coaches.

We might see experts solving problems with formulas, but gambling is something different. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a topic like this. Some of my colleagues have also discussed it. Until now, I still can’t believe there is an expert who can calculate and predict with near-perfect accuracy. I only believe that gamblers can be very lucky or unlucky.

I don't believe there vdn ever be experts who can solve calculations that can lead to winning in gambling, there are different formulas for different mathematical equations but there are no formulas and solving equations that leaves to winning in gambling the only thing you have to hope for is the luck factor. I have also engaged in different discussions relating to this subject of discussion but none of the people involved could come up with a different calculation it's still based on luck so says everyone.

I think it all depends on the type of gambling game. Not all gambling games can be calculated easily.

In soccer gambling, there are many factors that can influence the outcome of a match, whether it is the weather, the players, the field, and so on. Even using statistical calculations, the final result can't necessarily be predicted. Essentially, it is all about probability. If the probability is small, then calculations can be made, and if the probability is large, then calculations become more difficult. Even if you are playing a game called "Toss Coin", you might assume there are two possible outcomes in a single flip: heads or tails. However, you can't always be right based solely on statistics, such as game history.

So, do you think mathematicians can win at gambling? I don't think so; there will always be outcomes that can't be calculated or predicted in a given spin. If calculating probability were as easy as you imagine, I am sure many smart people would have made a fortune from gambling, but in reality, that is not the case, right?

A long time ago I worked at betting shop , and among the clients who came in there were some very good mathematicians  both by profession and by natural ability. I can note that they won much more often and took home solid winnings. Of course, this didn’t fully protect them from losses, those were also part of their experience, but overall the picture was clearly positive. I personally attribute their success to the fact that they were able to calculate probabilities and the potential final payoff. Still, I think it’s not that simple, which is exactly why not everyone can master such skills. And overall, it seems to me that having such a sharp and powerful analytical mind could be used more productively than earning money through gambling.

Sports games cannot be predicted using mathematics. Humans are involved in games and the behaviour or efforts of these players cannot be predicted. Mathematics can be helpful in other types of gambling, but it will not have a significant impact on sports.  If maths were helpful many mathematicians would have been making money from gambling. Those who are skilled at analyzing games will do better in sports betting than mathematicians.

There's no method of cheat that can work in gambling except that the casino or bookie is facing a technical problem like bugs or system malfunction and then the mathematician figured out the loophole and then start taking advantage continuously, that's what might likely make the person to become rich because of steady wins. Your maths teacher is probably not a gambler and even if he was, his knowledge can not cheat the casino because of house edge, only lucky gamblers can win and because rich through gambling.

[ejikeme24]

A mathematician doesn't have anything to do with gambling, have you ever wonder or ask yourself why it's said that knowledge is not enough in gambling? That is because no matter the knowledge you build towards gambling yet you can't win in the long run, because it is purely based on luck. Although a mathematician can make use of their strategy especially in those games that requires strategy but in sport betting I don't think if they can bring solution, as a matter of fact I don't even see that thing that requires solving in sport betting.

A mathematician cannot win consistently on gambling because gaming itself is a branch of mathematics, the casino uses statistics and the laws of probability in order for them to guarantee a profit in the long term, so a mathematician cannot do anything in order to increase their chances of winning, mathematicians can only analyze and understand their chances and calculate the edge of the house.

If mathematicians could win against casinos consistently, then casinos would go out of business, since there are thousands of mathematicians out there.

I've seen news about those mathematics teacher who's solved the lottery. I'm not sure if I'll believe those stories but they look genuine.

Well then, I don't think solving or applying math to gambling is possible to all even if that's their profession.

We can think of it as if they can solve all of the arithmetic that the games possesses it. But, it's the reality that will tell us that it's unlikely for most.

[danherbias07]

I don't think so. It's all made for the profits of the online casino and not the other way around. They are using algorithms, but I don't think a mathematician can break it unless they hack the whole system and set it to their advantage. But, not only the hacker make profits, but also those who are playing at the same time that it was hacked.

They say everything can be solved through math, but when something is set to make a gambler lose, and the house edge is leaning to the business, I don't think it will be solved. It's not a cheat, but that's how house edge works.

[Agbe]

Smart question, but the answer to that is very simple, emphatically no. Even with casino games that has to do with arithmetic and using probability formulas won't really work. people just need to accept the fact that winning in gambling is based on luck especially when it comes to casino games. This might increase your chances of winning but it is not guaranteed and relying on this is capable of making you addicted.

because it would indeed be strange if there were an expert in calculations who could make accurate predictions or bets but still struggled in their own life. The person referred to as an expert could make themselves rich even with a small salary from their job. 
After succeeding, such an expert might create a paid prediction class or group and earn profits from referral codes and registration fees from their followers.

I was cutting my hairs somewhere in a barber shop just to hear someone saying he figures out who will win a match by calculation, using some mentioned formula but I kept my cool because I don’t belong to the conversation if not I would have debugged, but in the end he still mentioned that he just lost a game because he miscalculated but I laughed to myself because of course I know gambling is luck and some kind of skill but not for you to bring in all the algebraic stuffs just to place a bet on who will win.

[Achalugo BTC]

As for me, I don't think one can win so easily in gambling without having challenges, such as having losses at times, which arises the feelings of wanting to chase after losses. Which is its better and essential that people treat gambling to be what people will be entertained with and not what one can think they can become rich through it.
That is why, I don't believe anyone that said they can predict gambling for one to win or profit from it, because gambling is unpredictable in nature, which one can't beat.

There is slightly an edge if you are a mathematician given that you are aware of all the probabilities that happen in card games.

While this may be the case, gambling companies are also equipped with this knowledge which also explains the reason on why they know how to combat this. Instead of presenting a full deck of cards, most of the cards they deal are randomized and specifically chosen to prevent any counting of cards that may happen.

In my opinion, however, even if you are a mathematician this still wouldn't work in modern gambling. The reason is simple- if these people have an advantage, then gambling companies wouldn't be as profitable in the modern times.

Firstly, been a mathematician doesn't mean you can win gamble but rather mathematics only allows someone to be very deep and fast in thinking and reasoning though gambling required deep and fast thinking and reasoning but it is kinda different because it is luck based game and not fixed because it do varies with time, days etc. there are secrets and mystery behind gambling which is very difficult to comprehend most times and sometimes it looks like there are supernatural powers.

[Findingnemo]

Nope, they can't change the fact that randomness wins in gambling, not the formulae.

The only game they can win is blackjack by counting cards but mathematical solving skill won't be enough, you need to have photographic memory but it is banned in casinos so if they smells that you qare counting cards then you will be banned forever from that casino.

[AmaGold70]

Gambling and solving mathematics are entirely two different things. If gambling is all about solving mathematics, all the mathematicians would have been very rich. Gambling is all about technical analysis, to become a good gambler you should be able to analyze sports based on present and past performances and records, even though this records are susceptible to change but with good analytical skills you will likely make more gains than losses. Gambling being what it is , their is no skill that can give hundred percent accuracy.

A card counter simply shouldn't pretend they know how to do it and sometimes lose. Dealers aren't stupid either, especially those who have been in the business for years. Incidentally, besides blackjack, you can also win in poker through skill; your opponent's skill plays a very strong role there, because if you sit down to play against a professional, the idea of ​​making money loses all its appeal. I remember professionals telling me they'd hunt inexperienced players at tables to try to beat them, but I don't know what the situation is now, as I haven't played poker in a while.

Card counting is extremely rare and I don't know anyone who got the skill and mastered it. What we see is are rookies who tried to count card but they ended up getting caught.

In poker, the skill is involved but it's more of beating the opponent psychologically with confidence and bluffing like strategies.

But in online gambling counting card is not possible but in poker they can do it but I doubt they can win for sure.
