Can a mathematician figure out how to win in gambling?

[Nahl]

I think it is possibly to happend but only special people who can able to do that and i have been read the story about how the person who can beat the house even this story was made into a movie and this person is really genius which is very good on math and all he have to do is to counted or calculate every possibility to won the lottery based on the previous outcomes and data but surprisingly his method was successfully to make him won big prize from lottery several times but this thing happened decades ago and recently gambling has the evolution which not easy to predict or calculate even on math

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.

This means it can be concluded that no, I don't think they are stupid if gambling can be calculated using practical knowledge such as mathematics, bookies will not dare to open casinos because that will definitely be the target of those who are smart, which means that gambling is not based on mathematical calculations to get a win, gambling is related to luck and luck, there is no calculation method that can achieve that.

A mathematician can solve complex problems but he cannot fight against randomness, nor a statistician or people dealing with different probabilities and outcomes. The games are already programmed by the slot providers in the case of the slot machines and they have what are called algorithms, for example in No Limit City they say you hit the max win once in 15 million spins though no one can really test that. I wonder what a mathematician can do to bypass these pre-programmed games and I think he cannot do anything at all, he is just a random person like all of us when playing slot machines or totally luck based games, simply because no one can beat luck, even if he wins the max win it is not because he is a mathematician rather it is because he got lucky and got it, as simple as that. Mathematicians are not magicians and they are just normal people like the rest of us maybe with somewhat a higher IQ but for me mostly because they deal with math all the time that they may be better than us.

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.

The answer you gave is correct but let's assume that you didn't come up with this answer, It is very simple for anyone to comprehend that the will of course be no reason being that gambling is an unforseen circumstance, it means we can actually tell what happens at the end of every gambling session, that's where the luck you mentioned comes in, individuals are going to far to get to the root of how to win gambling, question like this from the op, makes me think that some persons have not yet accept the realities that's accompanied with gambling.

Few days ago I came across a punter that used arithmetic to get the correct predictions of sport virtual games and out of five picks he got four correctly. But he actually that he was able to be so close to winning because he used numbers but I think it's just random and abused on luck. you can increase your chances of winning but it doesn’t automatically mean using mathematics would put you in profit.

Well, real world problems are beyond mathematics and algebra, you dont conquer the world with maths but discipline and consistency. He could be good at maths but that cannot be applied in a gambling sense to predict accurately outcomes in a match because there would always be variables and unforeseen circumstances in most games. The knowledge of maths could help with narrowing possibilities and probability of possible outcomes but it's never always accurate.

[Grace333]

Now, you have to understand that gambling is based on luck entirely, if there were ways mathematicians can predict or solve randomly and know the next games outcome, then casino manager would not want to venture into something that he knows the loopholes are obvious to mathematicians. So if a mathematician won a bet, that doesn’t mean he predicted the outcome of that game, rather he was lucky on that faithful day.

Gambling does not genuinely require mathematical or arithmetical knowledge in a way that can guarantee success or prevent loss. If gambling were something that could be controlled or mastered through calculations, formulas, or advanced knowledge, then many people would use such skills to protect themselves from losing money in gambling. But in reality, gambling is fundamentally built on chance or luck, randomness, and uncertainty. Most gambling systems are carefully designed so that the olds always favor the operator or house, and not the player. Well basic mathematical understanding may help individuals to recognize probabilities, or understand how the games work, this knowledge does not change the outcome in the long run. Even people who are highly educated, intelligent, and mathematically skilled still experience losses sometimes, when they Gamble. This is because no strategy, prediction, or calculation can fully overcome the elements of luck that governs gambling activities.

True. Still being a mathematician doesn't mean one can accurately deduce probabilities or affect luck. It only makes one make better more logical and reasonable decisions that lead to better probabilities of the luck you need.
Gambling platforms uses algorithms and codes and this is the work or programmers and developers with a knowledge of mathematical reasoning.
As as gambler the best mathematical knowledge is knowing risk management and understanding that the house already has an advantage over you.

You can never predict who will win a game with math. It can be said that it is almost impossible because it is never possible to predict a player performance in a game. Even when the players participating in a sport cannot be sure of their performance, how can a good mathematician expect good results in gambling with math. Maybe some people can get some good results but that will never be possible on a regular basis. So, in my opinion, it is better not to rely on any expert for betting. It is not bad to do good research or analysis, but you have to remember that there is uncertainty gambling and you have to bet based on that uncertainty.

Five bets, four wins, and one loss.

I think that's a common occurrence for all gamblers, regardless of their mathematical abilities.

I've also experienced this frequently with parlay bets, and such occurrences are frustrating and common because anything can happen in sports betting, no matter how skilled or expert a gambler is.
Since any skill can only create opportunities to win, it's possible to win more often than you lose, but it doesn't guarantee consistent winnings.

Gambling is a game of luck, it's either you are going to win or you are going to lose.

Any body can figure out how to win in gambling including a mathematician as called it, non mathematicians and even a dump person that is just passing by. If you are referring to how a mathematician can figure out how to win every of their bet without losing, then you are wrong because that's not possible, if it was possible, your maths teacher would be among the people that will get the update of how to become better winners in gambling. If mathematician can figure out better ways of winning more than anyone, then everyone might want to study maths.

[Queen uloma]

The answer is no, one thing people don't understand is that, people win gambling only by luck, there's no way a mathematician can figure out how to win gambling, A mathematician might know the probability and statistics before booking a game, the way people understand mathematics is different from the way gambling works, Anyone that has made up there mind to gamble should be ready for both to win and to loss. No matter how smart and Intelligent you think you are, isn't for gambling.

[Royal Cap]

In mathematics there are rules and patterns, so there is an opportunity to learn and there is a way to correct mistakes, But in gambling there is no such opportunity, because the outcome is often beyond your control. No matter how much you know about mathematics, luck makes the final decision. I believe many people get confused here. They think that if you are good at mathematics, you will also get an advantage in gambling, In reality gambling does not increase one's knowledge or change the situation. So this notion that you can win everything with intelligence doesn't work here.

[GiftedMAN]

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.

mathematicians can not predict games accurately because knowing maths has no nothing related to football both are entirely different as maths is based on knowledge while good predictions in football and winning are quite different. Winning in gambling is a factor of luck you may be the best soccer analyst but still can't win in football it is better you forget about the thought of comparing mathematicians and what they can do don't bring them closer to gambling because they will just keep losing.

Your first 2-3 lines of statement is no really what op is talking about but you are right when you said luck makes the final decision. Gambling naturally is a game of luck it doesn't matter how good or perfect someone think they are in gambling once you didn't pick the right option you are already at loss before the game will even start. The probability in gambling is way much that losing is inevitable and it is very unwise for someone to think because they are good in maths they can figure something out.

[Orpichukwu]

If mathematicians could be able to solve the gambling issue, then AI could have been able to end the gambling industry and send them packing. Some things are just not about the knowledge you have in education; they are far more than that.

The man in question should seek for better opportunities out there and leave his place of comfort, as his profession is something with better pay out there. Gambling is not the solution for him to escape poverty.

Yes, there's a way he figures it out and that's if he wrote the algorithm that the game runs on for luck-based games and the outcome isn't randomized, then he would be at liberty to knowing how to manipulate the game and win long-term, else it's not possible.

Skill-based games is not in the least possible because even if for example, you predicted games to perfection, the activities on the field still determines the outcome and those are things beyond your control.

A mathematician cannot figure out how to win in gambling whether it is in sports betting or in casino games. Only the game providers can. I know gambling is a game of probabilities but there are more than a million outcomes that it is just impossible to be successful with any calculations to win.

[Stalker22]

LOL!!  Funny question!

So let me be straight up with you - there are some top-notch mathematicians working for every single bookie and casino who use their maths skills to create the odds.  In fact, this is why your teacher is smart enough to keep his cash and not bail out like someone who doesnt understand the gambling industry!
