Topic: How much profit have you made from Gambling? - page 2. (Read 1834 times)

If you ask me, my biggest win was 0.015 on Primedice. I never gamble with big amounts, only with that I can afford to lose. My overall profit is minus 0.1 approximately. Not so bad. I think I'm a lucky gambler, if I lost only 0.1 from more than a year of gambling. )

Thanks, man. Just wanted to help show long term profit is possible.


Thank you. To your question of how I think my win rate would change if I were playing high stakes rather than micro-stakes, well, if I were to go from micro-stakes to high stakes right now, today and assuming I had the bankroll for it, I would guess that my win rate would be abysmal, as in some negative number: -XXX.x bb/100. No joke. lol

Note, that there are stake levels between micro stakes and high stakes: Nose bleeds > High stakes > Mid stakes > Low stakes > Micro stakes And within each stakes there are four or more level increments. Going from micro straight to high stakes is a huge jump.

Yes, it's the same game regardless of stakes in terms of mechanics. But it is nowhere near the same game as far as level of play and opponent skill, generally speaking. At higher stakes you will still see recreational players, but mostly you will find higher skilled/more experienced ones. At higher stakes you see more aggressive, sophisticated and adaptive playing styles.

So yes, the players who play at higher stakes, in general, are that much better. They study the game continuously, they know the maths and odds of each type of poker situation, they study their own past hands to fix their weaknesses and study opponents hands so as to exploit their weaknesses.

My win rate of 10.4 bb/100 over 60k+ hands indicates that I should move up in stakes where my win rate will be expected to decrease, but the amount of money I earn (compared to the micros) will be higher.


Thank you. To answer your question, as far as I know, the only btc poker room that HEM2 (Hold'em Manager 2) works for is betcoin.ag poker, which is what I am using it on. I don't think it works on swc poker (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and I don't know about the other btc poker sites since I've never tried them.

The old HM is no longer supported and not sure if HM works for any btc poker rooms. But HEM2 does.

Thanks for the kind words.

It costs $99.99 US for the pro version which works for all stakes levels. They do accept bitcoin for payment. There is also a smaller stakes version for cheaper, but you will only be able to use it for the smaller stakes. They also have a version for Omaha.

If you want to try it out first before you buy it, they have a 30 day free trial version which you can download from their site.

But before you decide to buy or try it, make sure that the site you play poker on supports it. (The only btc site that I know it works on is betcoin.ag) You can check on HEM2's website and forum which poker sites support it. See link above. It has more features to it than just charting your wins/losses that will help you improve your game which are all explained on their website.

It may seem to cost a lot, but it is more than worth it. It pretty much pays for itself and if you plan on long term profits, it's essential.

To download, you just click the download button. There may be a few tweaks you need to make on installation in order to get it to work, but they have all that covered in their troubleshooting support. I'm no HEM2 tech expert, but if you still need help with it, I'd be happy to. Just send me a PM.

Hope that helps. Good Luck!

Not sure what this means? So how much have you made gambling? Or was this just a plug for those sites lol

It would be nice if you really win that money. 
Do not just try playin dice on one site, you can crypto-games.net instead just play on dadice, primedice, satoshidice etc.

Haha so you rarely gamble,
do you never gets profit in gambling? so you rarely play in there ?

I think I read somewhere that winning at a casino your best bet would be to go with poker or sportbets... But I'm not sure of the source.

i thought i lose about 2btc is consider quite bad. so sorry to hear that you lose more than me. anyway, just treat it as a painful lesson. overall it is digital.

To be honest i have made around 2btc in primedice i am happy that i went on playing two high bets of 1btc and won both of them  

It's a beautiful chart. Start from 50 mBtc and now you're on 800 mBtc.
I never track my poker game with these 'chart software'.

How can i get it? HEM2, i will try to search it on google.
And i would be appreciate if you can give me know how to download it.

i gamble my money really rarely and i usually dont make any bitcoins out of it i only end up loosing nearly everything

180 BTC? W.o.w

You are really need some therapy now.
Unfortunately i also got loss on gamble, i got quite bit profit on the first time, but when i start to play serious on gamble. Boom.. i loss a lot.

Now, i already retire from gamble with big bet. I cannot get all my losses money back with that tecniques.
I just play for loss now. I always think gambling is "pay for entertainment" game.

Almost loss 10 BTC.
Crapp

That looks like a very good progress. By the way I'm curious, does HM works on btc poker rooms?
I used it a long time ago, but usualy it only worked in the well know poker rooms.

As for profit, I have some im poker and sportsbetting, but all made outside the btc world, since I only made the "shift" recently.

Do you post these picks?

I have made more than 1.5 BTC through sports betting as I found sports betting is safe as I have very good knowledge of sports so that I can predict the result. To avoid the losses we can also place cross bet on live matches, because of this Sports betting is profitable for me.

Lottery is a form of gambling, and you only little bit chance to win, your be lucky if your number drawn of the jackpot and will cover all your losses and have a profit.

Really good people will make profit on poker or sport betting. In other gambling games such as dice, roulette, etc. the only real way to make money is to place a big bet, win it and walk away. There might be someone that was lucky enough to profit in the long term but it's such a rare event that i doubt it even happened. I personally probably lost more than won in dice and in total really. Only a few people can really make profit on this, apart from the casinos of course.

for consistent profit in gambling you need to have guts to take risks.
i do take risks in sports betting and i loss more then win but still i am in profit because my winning is almost big enough to cover my losses

If you count lottery as a form of gambling, I lost 0.xx bitcoins. I have stopped playing lottery and deal with bitcoin now. Hope it will recover my losses.

Sorry I did't I notices that not  you win.. If I know the user I will ask her.

lol I'm not the lucky one, far from it, you'd have to ask the user that won.
