Can a mathematician figure out how to win in gambling?

[Felicity_Tide]

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?

You might find such qualities in some random Netflix series, but trust me, it doesn't happen like. Knowing maths doesn't entirely make you a very good gambler. Gambling_{(different games in particular now)}, all have their own rules and approaches, and even if you master them, it still won't guarantee you a flawless victory through out your lifetime. And In the cases of mathematics, I don't think it necessary related to the rules of majority of the games that people bet on. A lot of these games demands your knowledge_{(what you already know)}, IQ, and a very things I can't really think of now. And Geometry/Algebra isn't necessary part of them.

Take sports betting for example, you as a gambler can't influence the game because you're not the one in action. But with the help of previous stats, H2H, etc, you can at least draft out something that doesn't demand too many mathematics. So OP, it is best you know that gambling is a bit beyond mathematics.

Sports betting and casino games do not rely on statistics. You have to rely on luck to win. You don't have to be a mathematician to understand sports betting statistics, just be active with the game and stay informed about your news. A mathematician might have an advantage at poker or blackjack, everything else is based on luck.

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 isn’t calculation, and gambling isn’t mathematics it’s completely different so because you are good mathematician doesn’t mean you going to be a good gambler. I don’t even think there is any similarity between gambling and mathematics, or maybe am missing something.

When you are gambling, you are making predictions, you not making any calculations, gambling analysis is completely different from solving some mathematical problems, so I don’t even know why you think mathematics teachers are suppose to be richest in gambling.

Know that gambling is all about luck, and if that is the point, know that you can’t always predict what will actually happen in gambling. If it were that easy, I believe many mathematicians would have started using their mathematics knowledge to win bets.in casino games now, they are programmed, and they are always programmed in favor of the betting site. In sports betting, mistakes are what are likely to get our predictions wrong, as we can’t predict which players will make mistakes. Our predictions are always based on luck, and that is the reason why no one can actually always get their predictions right.In fact, I have seen mathematicians gambling and losing, so there is no point thinking that anyone can use mathematics knowledge to beat gambling.

[JunaidAzizi]

Being good at math does not mean he can be the best at gambling. We know gambling is full of predictions and based on probabilities. If someone is good at math, he can't even predict the game results. In math equations, you will get a single answer, and you will know it, but in gambling, probabilities, randomness, and imperfections come into play. For a mathematician, it's too difficult. However, maybe he can use his knowledge to be a good gambler, but he will not be a profitable gambler solely through his mathematical knowledge.

Mate, that's not how gambling works. Don't you really think that casinos have thought about math before they added these games? Casino products are 100% backed by math. It's backed so well that there is no way on earth anyone beating it because it's a very simply math. Games have Return To Player, which means that in case of 99% RTP, they return 99% of money to gambler and take 1% for themselves. To say it more directly, it means that from every $100 bet, they basically take $1 from you. Now tell me, how can the best mathematician in the world beat that?

No, a mathematician will not figure out how to win in gambling because the casinos have a house edge which balances the odds of winning on their side more strongly than on the players side. So the scales are already weighted in favor of the casino.

So the mathematics of probability is on their side.

And there is no way to change the laws of mathematics so that probabilities work differently.

In terms of sports betting (football), several factors influence the outcome.  Factors like injuries, form, management decisions, coach's tactics, weather condition and some other factors not mentioned here. Mathematical calculations will not be neccessary in situations like this when unexpected events or circumstances like weather condition or a player's injury disrupts the game which may affect your own prediction too.

No. Even the greatest scientist who has ever lived cannot solve a game of luck.

Gambling is totally random, it is a game of luck, especially in casino games. Betting is also included. Mathematics cannot solve the problem of choosing the right team or odd market. Many things can influence the result of a game.

I saw a movie where there is a genius person who is very good at mathematics and later they and their professor form a group and gamble in a casino and win millions of dollars with their mathematical skills. But here we have to remember that these things are only possible in movies or fictional ways. And besides, it will not be possible for a person alone no matter how he is genius in mathematics.

And besides, I will say that there will be no benefit in searching for topics like how to win at gambling because ultimately the results of gambling will always depend on your luck. So don't face big losses while applying any strategy or tricks here.

Mathematicians usually focus too much on numbers, but in sports betting that’s only a small part of the picture.

What really matters is good analysis. If you have that, then there’s at least a chance to succeed. It’s about reading the game, including things like line movement, which pure math can’t fully explain or capture.

With experience and real familiarity with the sport you’re betting on, plus a bit of math of course, you’re more likely to get the decision right.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Not really mathematical experts understand probability so they know the odds are usually against them. That often makes them more cautious, not more successful. Gambling success usually depends on luck, emotional control and sometimes risk taking not just calculations. Knowing the math might help avoid bad bets but it doesn’t turn the odds in your favour or guarantee wins.

Sports betting involves analysis and mathematics is analytical in nature. Mathematics isn't just all about numbers as you have said it involves reason.
A good mathematician should be in analysing games however without luck it is all a waste because no matter how good they may be in there analysis luck is plays the major part here.

Are you talking about gambling? I think you need to understand how the game works before coming back to gambling because this question does not make sense at all. However, being a mathematical or whatever you might call it isn't for gambling, this is how some gamblers normally make things difficult by themselves without remembering that winnings only happens when the luck is on your side. If you don't know there are many experience teacher out there that even knows mathematics more than your teacher still, they are finding it difficult to win.

[Odusko]

There's a difference between solving mathematics and analysing a game, the mathematics that are being widely done is a game of number and equation coupled with formula to solve them, unlike gambling games that doesn't follow a known formula or code fo winning it which make the predictions of such impossible.

If there's a mathematical formula to win a game, by now a lot of mathematicians are already rich. However, it is totally different. They may solve some statistics and count cards, but this is gambling, and luck plays a big role on how you will achieve profit from this game. And besides, not many mathematicians are interested in gambling, they know the chances for sure.

So many mathematicians already lived and die, and yet, up until now, we know that only few of them were successful in deploying their math expertise to outwit casinos. Just to name a few - it means, very few mathematicians across the globe explored their luck in gambling. Because for sure, it needs calculated moves and of course very good statistics on hand.

How a Santa Barbara Mathematician Beat the Casinos

[nelson4lov]

If it were possible, I'm sure we'd have a lot more millionaires than we have currently in the world because it's either they'd win the entire bankroll of casinos or bookmarkers or their skill or services will eventually be made public for collective draining of owners bankroll. But that's not the case at all. Being good at maths is just one part of the puzzle. In sports betting, it goes above basic maths and statistics.

No, because you don't even need to be mathematician to understand that math is against you. There's no equation that would unmake the rules of statistical mathematics.

However, there are some games where maths are giving you an edge. People have used math to count cards in blackjack for example, and when you combine that to using group of people, you could technically use it as your advantage in physical casinos. Until you get caught, and i wouldn't recommend getting caught. There's a movie made from that called "21", starring Kevin Spacey if you are interested to learn more.

[Moreno233]

This is not possible because even though gambling is governed by algorithm,  such algorithms are not straight forward for a mathematician to crack so easily. Assuming such things were possible, we would have seen people wreck the casinos and bring an end to the business. Casino is strictly a game of luck.

[Japinat]

There is no person who can figure out the results in gambling, even if its the best mathematician in the world. The real edge is only on the casino itself, while leaving us taking the real challenge on how we can beat the casino even at once or twice.

If we're lucky, hence winning could be easy, but most of the time we're not that's why its hard to win in gambling.

Mathematicians could be real math wizard, but gambling is never math at all, its more on being wise and discipline on taking the real gambling challenge. Those who are highly disciplined and strategic wise end up winning in gambling.
