I think you can. but maybe you need big bankroll and play smart. If i have big bankroll i will do it more safely and play smart.
my last long bet is around 5bitcoins win from 0.5btc. it's quiet big for me and because greedy i lose it all.

That's not safe at all to be greedy. You should learn to have some self control and gamble in moderation.

In the long run you simply cannot win

made 1300k doge from 20k in one of gambling site, well thought is good enough
cashout 1000k doge for bought new android phone.. lol
i think it would be easy with 300k doge to 1000k or so
ohh damn im wrong , it's not easy and yeahh lost it all hmmm Undecided

in other words we can not win in the long term

easy to says but hard to do so
although you think that's safe bets and will earn big profit from that but in the fact you can lost your money everytime if you do a gamble

If someone which follows the set of rules and be discipline enoff. Can people make 50-100 $ a day just gambling in online casino.....?

Short answer is no they will never make $100 a day over the long run unless of course they are diddling the site.

You may make $300 one day but get excited and do it all the next day plus any savings you had leading upto that.

If you are an expert and skilled and have some cash you could make a fortune.

if you are and expoert and skilled you could also lose a fortune. In a way it is luck and spending a fortune on luck is not my cup of tea.

Not mine either, I used to class my self as skilled winning around 30btc in my first 6months of gambling after studying bankroll management. It soon got the better of me though and ended up losing a big chunk of that. I stopped most gambling but still play and win at poker.

I think it can definitely be profitable if you keep up with all your winnings and losses.

That way you can actually see if you're winning more than you're losing.

This is for the frequently gamblers of course.

Some gamblers are really pro. They know when to bet, how to bet and also when to stop.

They can make and are making a living out of it.

Right, but this depends on the game. You can make a fortune with some games but not all. Long term profitability depends on strategy, patience, the game and several other factors.

Nope, this is not depends on the game. Most people are having a big winning only in poker games. I guess the rest is just for having fun, poker games need skills and some luck to get pretty good hand to win. And long term in a dice game wont give you any good result there so choose well which game you are going to play in long run

To make a living out of it, you need a lot of skill and expertise.

I am sure some people had some 'wins' but that's all. It's not lucrative for them.

Only if you have the balls and skill set you should try it on a full time basis.

For an example of a better strategy, try:

bet 0.5 at 33%
if you win, you get 99/33 = 3x, so you get 1.5 back, a profit of 1 - you've doubled your money

if you lose, bet the other 0.5 at 24.75%
if you win, you get 99/24.75 = 4x, so you get 2 back - you've doubled your money

the only way it goes wrong is if you lose both the 33% and the 24.75% - the chance of that is (1-0.33) * (1-0.2475) = 0.504175
so the chance of success is 1 - 0.504175 = 0.495825 = 49.5825% - a fraction higher than 49.5

I also seen something about a single martingale sequence being better than going all in on a certain % How does this exactly happened, if your chances are 49.5% how are you actually able to improve them, slightly. Is the math on casinos not perfect when calculating odds and results?

I gave an example of how the chance of doubling up can be higher than 49.5% - check the bold number in the quoted text.

It's nothing to do with imperfect calculations, it's a true effect. The strategy I outlined has a chance of doubling up that is closer to 49.6% than it is to 49.5%.

The trick is to risk less on average. If you always bet your whole bankroll on a single event, you expect to lose 1% of it all. If you sometimes double it up without having to bet it all, on average you risk less than all of it, and so expect to lose 1% of less than all of it.

Yes but it shouldn't I mean casinos calculate the % of win chance and then the outcome, if you have 50% chance you get double money and so on. I thought they might have not calculated every % and every outcome perfectly.

I think what it's not possible in roulette and casino games, but i think you can do it with blackjack.

why not go again with the same 0.5 on 16.50 % and then get the double profit .

edit: I see the chance would decrease then ..0.42 something.

Nothing is impossible if you gamble in gambling. You can win or lose everytime.
And it all depends from you if do you have skill in gambling. Possible profitable in long term.

skill isnt a factor in most gambling games, take dice for example, there is absolutely nothing even remotely close to skill involved in pressing a button for a high or low bet. there is skill involved in some pvp games however, such as poker, and to an extent, blackjack. very few can maintain a winning trend over a long period of time however.
