I've spent a year in excel simulating trying to find a good strat, and found nothing. Or at least not a golden goose, stuff goes down, goes up, and super long term trends are all down due to edge. A good strat should explode on good results, and than luck pays more. In simulation there is no human touch, its kind of like a formula, and a formula cannot beat gambling, or at least not a simple one. And it's really hard to simulate explosive results, because profits need to be captured. Based on simulation a human touch added to good progressive system might capture some profits, but it might end up being $14 an hour with a bank over 50k, betting 100 bucks per unit. These type of low profits, and such a high entry point is not attractive, and no guarantee of any profits.
The thing is, there's a tendency that you get tremendous amount of reds/losses so you're going to need a bankroll that's enormously larger than your base bet as your bets are increasing exponentially. Any strategy will only work with unlimited bankroll and unlimited bet amount. This is simply impossible because no one has unlimited bankroll, for one. Secondly, most gambling sites have a limit on the bet amount but then again someone can't have unlimited bankroll, thus, no unlimited bet amount.
It's just not worth betting with so much money for so little gains while exposing yourself to the tendency of losing it all once you've hit the maximum losing streak your bankroll can cover.

Uh there are many pro poker players out ther like daniel negreanu and they can even earn a living by playing poker competitive. Skill, strategy and luck are important on gambling including poker too.
And you know this because? You have watched him on TV, right? The things that you see in TV aren't the same things in real life. Competitive poker has so much cut so that what they are going to air are interesting rounds. In real life, they fold so much until both the opponents have good cards and are ready to play big. You can be right, that you can earn a living by playing poker. On the other hand, you are not a professional poker player and you don't get paid to play in a casino. You are just a regular player holding on nothing but luck and strategy.
