Topic: Is AI going to affect gambling in any way ? - page 3. (Read 1839 times)

I knew that manipulation is what would first come to the head of many when AIs are being mentioned in gambling but it is not supposed to be so. If you think you can use AI to perpetrate evil, the house will also use AI to stop that from happening, and since they have more money, they will be more techy than the customers at large. As a matter of fact, it is already happening, many casinos are now investing huge amounts of money in the next generation of gambling where AIs will be performing enough tasks in place of human in so many facets which include, verification and security, and I wonder how people would get to cheat that.

And no matter the amount of AIs the customers use, they can't just beat the system of the casino game they are playing. The algorithms are there, and only a hacking system will be able to pose a threat. But unfortunately for the cheater in that case, it will be so obvious, they will get caught easily, and no casino will pay such winning when it is obvious that hacking was used to win the game. For this, in the future with the invention and use of more AIs, I believe that the gambling industry will be more advanced, so we should perish the use of AI for manipulation for gamblers to win. I also believe that everything will be the same as it is now, where it is difficult to cheat the house and when you use automated systems too much, I think the house will frown at it.

I think in the future AI will become an inseparable part of our lives, just like the internet and social media. The use of AI will be very diverse in casinos and gambling. I don't know if you are asking something negative or positive about the use of AI in casinos. Using AI to cheat casinos is certainly illegal and bad. But I think the positive impact is that AI will really help casinos develop their business even better. They can use AI to create new games that have never existed before. I think it will be one of the revolutionary breakthroughs in the use of AI in the future.

Even if you say so, a few years ago the capabilities of AI were much smaller than today. I think that AI will progress exponentially. I’m even very interested in how all gambling will end up, and I don’t exclude this possibility with the rapid development in the field of AI.

And the examples can be very diverse for the use of AI for the benefit of casinos, both in marketing terms and in many other ways. I don’t want to look even very far, because it’s quite difficult to make assumptions with many variables, but I have no doubt that there will be fundamental changes, although I find it difficult to say negatively or positively.

I believe it is already happening. That's why most software engineers are creating better captchas for bots. Because what happens is that gambling manually was being replaced over time by robots and casinos are losing tons and lots of money. They can no longer compensate the damage from their projects. Bets are being spammed and their system are unable to organize and pair it. This kind of issues. Other times, the house itself or the casinos develop their own bots. So it's just like war of automation. But at most part, the most affected will be those one who can cope with these type of changes.

I can imagine that this is the most that can be done using AI software and is in the interest of the users. But any potential role cannot eliminate the human role in making decisions because artificial intelligence cannot make accurate predictions, regardless of the type of game.
Artificial intelligence has been able to amaze us with its capabilities in analyzing data and processing various complexities, from which the gambling industry has greatly benefited. But it would be naive to expect unreasonable results or trust programs on the basis that they will achieve miracles. I think we should be a little rational.

On the other hand, we should not forget that any development programs using artificial intelligence are carefully programmed to perform specific functions. Even casinos will not be able to adopt any software that disrupts the system or increases house profits at the expense of bettors. Current licensing laws may consider this to be fraud or an attempted scam if any tampering is discovered, even if it was produced by artificial intelligence and not by humans.

AI and betting cannot work together as far as I'm concern about it.

Sure,  we can implement some AI programs to make the betting system a bit better and safer but I doubt anyone can use AI to predict or find out outcomes because it's not meant to work this way. However, AI is still at the very beginning so next few years should give us a way more detailed plan of what AI can achieve in betting system regarding both sides ( house and the bettor ).

That would not be called as a house edge anymore if there's a system that could beat it. That house edge thing is has been there ever since, so no one could beat that, otherwise casinos will go bankrupt because of AI. Sometimes it's misunderstood, not because an AI can do a lot of things to make our job easier it will beat everything, maybe some but not the gambling industry.

If we can make an AI to work on our favor, I'm sure casinos are also exploring that possiblity to gain on their favor.

True that would help, if we use the information effectively, that will increase our chances of winning but will never guarantee a win.

AI will not make anyone gain an upper hand over the house, that isn't possible, especially when it comes to gambling games, because an AI model cannot be used to change the algorithmic outcomes that are automatically generated using random number generators. So, games that we play on gambling platforms and their outcomes will always mostly rely on luck first and then the algorithms that they are built upon.

An AI model can be useful for a sports bettor for doing research and analysis because it can grab and bring data and statistics from all around the internet in a matter of seconds and the bettor then can evaluate those results and reach a conclusion for their bets.

Interesting points made here! I think AI could change how we approach gambling, offering deeper data analysis but possibly taking away some of the spontaneous fun of the game. It's a tool with limits, especially where luck’s involved!

I think that it's most probable that most casinos are already using AI in different ways for years.

For example, they could create ads using large language models.

They could use models to identify who to give free drinks, etc.

Of course, AI will affect gambling, I don’t know whether this will happen soon or not, but it will certainly happen. To be honest, I thought 5 years ago that it was no longer worth learning to play poker because I saw all sorts of programs that calculate a lot of all the opponent’s indicators. And after that my desire to play poker went away. I don't want to play against opponents who have all the statistical indicators about me and my actions. With AI it will become even more uninteresting. It’s better to just go and play offline if you want, there won’t be any AI there. Of course, time goes by and the improvement of AI will naturally occur, because it concerns money in gambling and first of all it will be used here.

I really think that AI is being underestimated, Hollywood studios are already making use of AI to try to predict how a script could perform if it was actually made into a movie, so producers can compare that data with the expected cost to make it and market it and try to understand if the movie will give them profits, and all of this before they spend a single cent on making that movie, and if this can be done now, I do not see why an AI may not be used to try to predict the outcomes of sport matches.

Yeah, that's the end of it really.

Once something is a clear way of making money, the casinos will quickly change the rules or stop the bets, or change the odds, etc.

They are in control, so of course they will be reacting fast if suddenly they are losing money in a specific bet.

It is true and indeed something that is more advisable which is better to gamble by using our own way and not rely on other people or AI-like systems, however gambling will still be an activity that can never be predicted accurately no matter how skilled you are which means that if the time is lost then yes you will lose or vice versa. And in addition for me gambling is a matter of luck which means when you are lucky then you will win, regardless of where you gamble even if you bet in the type of sports betting that does require skill to increase the possibility of victory but still ultimately will refer to luck because sometimes we often find some unexpected events on the field that make the situation turn around which there is a great possibility for your favorite team to end up losing.

On the other hand, of course, by gambling using our own way, we will really be able to enjoy the process whatever the results at the end of the session we do about winning or losing, so I think betting using other people's methods or depending on other people will not be completely influential.

Exactly, gamblers uses Google for researching the points and quantities of teams performance, it's mostly used on sports games.  Today AI might not be used popularly but in future to come people will use it because modern days we people don't like stressing them self for anything, so AI will not become a threat to the house or to a gambler. What I believes is AI can not give us an accurate predictions, we need our own brain to do any predictions and AI is just an artificial intelligence that guides us in any thing that's deals on internet and the answers are not 100% sure mostly when it comes to predictions, not if you try to ask an AI the future price of Bitcoin you won't get the kind of answer you want because AI are not  a reliable source.

It seems that you are very optimistic about the development that artificial intelligence can bring with it. I don't share the same ideas as you, and I don't think many do either. For a simple reason, which is that algorithmic equations cannot be developed in the interest of achieving greater returns for gamblers unless the house will achieve multiple times.
It would be good to employ artificial intelligence to develop the industry from various aspects, but I doubt that artificial intelligence will succeed in developing to the point where casinos will become losers or even their returns will decline. Users always believe that using artificial intelligence is always valid without taking into account all parties involved.

"Enhanced analytics" and similar things are simply ways to make money by selling those stats, but in reality you can't make money by gambling with that information.

At the end of the day the odds are a given, and the more possible an outcome, the less the casinos will pay.

That's simply the reality.

I don't know how far AI is in gambling but I did a bet with a friend of mine that he had the Premium version of ChatGPT 4.5 or something like that and told him I bet 10 dollars that you cannot find the name of my grandfather,to all my stunning he was able to come back to me just two days after and told me is this your grandfather name,he was absolutely right.I asked him how come an AI can do something like that and he told me that at the beginning it was difficult but after asking about some 30 questions he was able to get into the civil register and get the name there.

Hopefully one day this Premium version can have that much information and studies in order to give us some really nice prognostic for the sport games that we bet,so far I have not seen anything even in the Premium version so most likely we are going to wait sometime until AI to impact gambling.

Well, I'm not really into making bets based on instincts, but I agree with you that sometimes it might work, and human analysis is without a doubt better than the analysis of an AI model because an AI model can miss a lot of points and things that a human eye and mind would never miss, things such as most recent injuries, fights inside the team or club, exchanges that aren't yet public, and much more.

All these things can be found and understood by a human but an AI model will struggle to find these things and that can reduce the winning probability of an AI's predictions.

So, I'm also a kind of a person who would rather make their bets using their own understanding than using an AI model or a bot or something.

Of course.... from both pov , namely gamblers and platform owners can use AI as a tool for their assistance. AI adoption is likely to increase over time, considering that each platform requires different AI models.

I read a lot of articles about AI and gambling, and one thing that is interesting to me is that platforms can use AI to find out strange patterns in gamblers' bets that allow cheating, thereby preventing cheating in gambling itself.

Meanwhile, from a gambler's point of view, well... maybe silly predictions can be a reference for gamblers to bet on sports betting. yeah... you know that AI is quite good at managing historical data, so it's only natural that this machine can generate its own opportunities.
