I understand and agree with your mistrust. Gambling is by definition a game of chance and odds. Considering recommendations that potentially boost winning probabilities is intriguing, but lets be realistic. If there was a definite technique to win, wouldnt more gamblers be millionaires?

Every gambler has their own strategy, but its still a risk. Your friend's silence on finances is telling. It either suggests he's very private or the results arent as great as expected. Gambling involves skill, chance, and superstition.

Im not rejecting your friend's assertion, but be cautious. Never expect a steady income from gambling. Entertainment has highs and lows. Your method of questioning and proof is correct. Great if your friend copies his achievements! Remember: one win doesnt guarantee the following dice roll in gambling.

Everyone knows why they joined gambling, and the purpose of their habit in their personal life. The strategy they choose to play is left for them to master and understand. Gamblers utilize strategies differently and it's not a simple task to gamble and win. Many criteria get involved. Although some people would think because they've won 3 times on a row that their strategy is the best. That doesn't guarantee the validity or the accuracy of the strategy. It's a way of getting some reward for their gambling activities. It's great to have those trusts in us that we made it happen. That's true, the gambler made it happen, by being able to stake his money then tried whatever his instinct felt is right, if they win during this process, the person feels great himself. But he easily forgets that he's been gambling for quite a long time without experiencing such win as he just did recently, using same strategy.

Hence, luck plays some role, even when you said the player needs to hope for a better odd, isn't it a good example of luck? Knowing when to stop or continue could be hard, but the strategy is perfect. As some gamblers don't realize that they're losing more money and hope the next win would come on the next prediction. Others may accept within themselves that they've understood how the machine works, slot players, but in some days, it wouldn't play according to their expectations. While Op did a great job by sharing his method, readers and newbies need to observe their games closely before implementing such method. It's some slight way of doing Martingale, which is risky. The next game after a win, doesn't mean we'd win.

Some people have developed an addiction to gambling after realizing that they consistently win when they put a wager. It will therefore get harder for individuals to give off gambling, even while they are losing. They will continue without gaining anything since all they can think is that even if they lose today, they won't lose tomorrow. I would rather introduce myself to business or investing so that I can know where my money is really going, which is why I don't have an interest in gambling. And in the modern world, a lot of people decide to make gambling their full-time career. Which is not a smart idea, even though gambling can be a permanent not everyday you will be winning.

The first statement is partly true. But be reminded that winning isn't solely reliant on luck. It will depend on what kind of gambling game you are betting and playing. If you are into non-complex games, most likely you will just really rely on few working strategies for you and more on luck. Praying for the odds to be in your favor could possibly help. Although it still won't be guaranteed that you will win despite having much luck on your previous games outcome. So still manage your expectations so you won't get hurt. Do not go betting everything you have if you aren't confident and if you can't really afford to lose it in a snap.

Be a responsible gambler so you won't beat yourself up when things go south. Learn when to stop and when to continue. It will save you from trouble.

Not only in blackjack but also in other games or bets, we must have much better limits, increasing the number of bets is actually not recommended because it will speed up the loss of most of the balance we have.
Even though I also do it it just that it not like increasing the amount of betting but adding to the balance amount for the purpose of being able to gamble longer, I gamble for fun and even though it increases the budget it remains an amount I can accept to lose.
Most gamblers are unable to control their emotions when they lose and of course this kind of attitude will bring about the beginning of disaster that could occur, they on the other hand will lose more money because of their efforts to chase wins and recover losses.
Of course, gambler attitude will never be stable because they will have mindset that changes depending on what conditions are happening.
I sure you understand how feel when win or lose.

I agree that every gambler must follow their instincts, but the instinct that must be followed is the instinct to stay safe and avoid various mistakes that could occur.
Sometimes instincts in gambling can make gamblers more careless and not careful.

So that's what's on my mind and what I want to ask, if he really wants to share tips or ways of gambling that can be profitable by increasing the odds then I think he should be one of the rich people by now by getting lots of winnings from gambling, but I doesn't know the real facts because he didn't say anything at all that would lead to his current financial situation. And of course, for people who are careful enough, they will definitely think about it and ask questions like what you said, friend, where did they only do that in one try? and did not carry out any other experiments at all to confirm that the method they did could really increase their chances of winning.

I really want him to say or answer this question, and I'm a little doubtful if in the next try he gets the same results in the sense of getting a win like that again, what I'm sure of is that he seems to have only done one try and coincidentally at the same time luck came so that he succeeded in getting that good victory. In fact, it is very difficult to be lucky enough to get such results because this is a game of chance.

Have you already tried again this strategy? or just this one-time trial and error?. We cannot say this could increase the chance if you didn't test a lot of probability.


This strategy is a martingale double when you lose but again it doesn't apply to all, all the time. If you are on momentum still a good strategy to make a continuous bet and try until when you will last long, revenge wage is not ideal if you lose you just increase the number of losses you have. If you can strategies the winning of course having a designated plan of the amount you will need stick on it prevent getting greedy and of course cutting lose your too many consecutive losses.

Actually using the Martingale strategy is not difficult, it's just that sometimes if we can't play with proper control it will backfire on ourselves, but if you control yourself correctly using this strategy can usually be profitable, it comes back to your luck too, I also can't assume that martingale is a good strategy to use because on average it is commonly used by beginners and in the end they will get a losing streak of 15x rounds that will make them bankrupt.

It's okay if you regret it when you get carried away by emotions and try to recover your losses, the usual thing that often happens when gamblers play is to try to recover their losses, I also sometimes do that, although I don't do it all the time, but now I'm more focused and I like to gamble on sports betting compared to playing casino games because in my opinion it makes much more sense betting on sports betting for now than casino games.

But it all comes back to yourself, your failures, your mistakes will teach you to be wiser in the future in gambling, never regret what has happened as long as you learn from your mistakes, everything will definitely be fine. There are many strategies you can use but the most important thing is to gamble responsibly. 

That's cool share. I think I have those wrong things by increasing my bet on Blackjack too. It's difficult to control that emotion where you want to get back all the losses in one go. I know it was a wrong decision and I did regret it because the next round was a loss again. Luckily, I don't have enough money to double it more so I switched to different bets on the next rounds. Lower, but sometimes bigger if I can get a winning streak. Yeah, sometimes you will have to follow your instincts and avoid relying on strategies like the Martingale because it will just finish all our money in a blink.

Knowing when to stop is not only difficult but also not realistic for some people, you can't just know it, you can only show some restraint if you think it is necessary to show it at that time. Gambling issues are just too uncertain so there will always be imperfect advice for it either, nonetheless, the wise will always use their senses rightly to know what is good and what is bad so that they can do the good and shun that which is bad. Imagine yourself gambling for a week and winning nothing, but on the 8th day, you won money, like say $500, and start gambling the whole money again. That means you are not wise, you are just practically showing uncalculated behaviour toward gambling and before you know it, you lose that money back.

In this regard, I believe that just like in trading, in gambling as well, we need to prioritise our budgets and plans before and after every gambling activity, and no matter how good we think we are at gambling, we should know that we can lose money and even get emotional and lose more. So we should always show restraint and be conscious of our actions. For this, we should know what we are to do when we open the gambling platform or stop at the casino house. The money to use, and how many times we will use it to bet for proper accountability must be known beforehand. Even in winnings, how we are supposed to behave no matter what happens needs to be known. All these will certainly be a better guide for us instead of just wasting money anyhow or gambling without any basis.

Those who experience gambling problems are unable to use gambling as entertainment and instead make it a job to make money. Even though it's not what they imagined because they will experience a lot of losses and also waste their money. And even though he gambles more and more often and can have experience in gambling, if he can't learn to be responsible in gambling, he will only experience bigger problems.

We have seen what happens if someone gambles too much, so those of us who still enjoy gambling must be able to anticipate this. It's also for our good so that we don't have to experience an incident like what they experienced where they lost a lot of money and also experienced a gambling addiction. We must be able to make gambling entertainment and not try to make money instead of losing a lot of money.

Know Your limit and stand on it, you don't have to gamble every single day, choose some days out of the week and pick a particular amount of money for gambling every week.

When you win some money, there is no point to continue gambling, some will say it's better to continue if you are on winning stake, that's their ways, I can't say it's bad, but it's gambling anyway, what do I know?

I will rather stop gambling the moment I win some money and go away, until my next gambling day has arrived, it just makes sense to handle gambling using this strategy, get a job if you are jobless, it will make you become a responsible gambler, not having a source of income makes you a reckless gambler, you don't want to be dependant on gambling.

That's why we've got a lot of people that have a gambling problem because there's more losses than winning in gambling so people are mostly frustrated when they're gambling thus leading to them having to bet even more, it's basically a cycle that once it gets worse, even a win so big might not be enough satisfaction because they know that they're still at a loss with all the money that they've put in the gambling for that time and so it's another cycle for them.

Knowing when to stop is a difficult thing to do especially if you've been gambling for a really long time already, although you can learn it, it's going to take a lot of time so if anyone plans to learn that self-awareness thing, you need to be patient about the process.

True, many influencers are scattered around the internet and live stream their gambling journey or while gambling, and as they have watchers and followers, many viewers take inspiration from what they are seeing or watching, resulting in them copying what the streamer is doing, which is, as we know, wrong as not all are happening the same to the other person. Don't be blinded by their winnings; of course, they will not let the viewers see their losses.

That's the reality: for the sake of promoting their paid promotion, they will convince you to gamble more, which will result in your downfall. If you keep on believing their words, remember that it's not them who will make you have money or win; it's you who will make them rich and have a profit, so stop taking inspiration from the streamers that stream gambling games. You will get the wrong inspiration if you keep on watching them and thinking that you can also win the amount they have.

But how to make sure that the pattern is suitable for us? Is it by doing some experiments like for example doing 5x experiments and getting 4x wins, can we make sure that the pattern is suitable for our gambling? but wouldn't it be a very possible thing if you do another 5x experiment and the result is that you get 2x wins? you can try it to prove whether gambling is about applying the right pattern or strategy to get a win or not more than just luck. However I can't be sure that this method will be useful  in gambling, we agree that gambling is an activity that has absolutely no certainty for the end result because it is always about winning and losing, anyone who is involved in gambling then they will be one of the gamblers who will experience these two things in every session they do, it is never known and if indeed strategies or patterns can be applied to gambling then isn't it very easy to become rich?

It seems we have to go back to the  original understanding of the concept of gambling to justify this, which is that this activity is nothing more than a game of chance which means you can lose and you can win. We can't take winning too seriously, because casinos outweigh everything and if we're just a gambler then there's no other way but to keep your gambling activities under control by implementing many precautions.

Everyone has the pattern of gambling that works for them so we don't have to do copy and paste but rather we can try other patterns if they will work for us. Whatever thing we are doing that does not work for us, we better stop it and look for how we can adjust to suit our gambling winnings.
Most mistakes I do avoid is to wanna copy pro traders that had been in the gambling for very long time. This alone can affect us mentally if the pattern we want to copy from them looks different as difficult for us to handle. Their should be a way for us to guage whatever we are doing so that we don't ride too fast to the extend of creating loses for ourselves.

Believe me, I've tried it in the past, reminders don't work when you are all hot in the game using the martingale strategy, and the loss streak keeps getting larger over time. You lose once, you use the strategy, recover the losses with a little bit of profit along with it, you continue gambling, and the same thing happens again, the losses increase but you manage to win a bet back and recover the money again. You have no sense of anything at this point.

You are completely lost in the game and you are totally satisfied that you can easily recover your losses if you lose a bet because you have the best strategy, and in those thoughts, comes along another loss, you try increasing the bet to recover the loss but you keep losing every bet, you keep doubling the bet in the hope of at least winning one of them, however, you lose enough consecutive bets that your bankroll gets exhausted. That's when you realize your mistake but to no avail.

Great!

Many people think that they should do exactly the opposite... never stop playing while they are losing, under the pretext that they need to recover the lost money.
Even worse is when these people use "unbeatable techniques" like the Martingale which in theory should mean that the bettor never loses money... big mistake.

However, I would just like to add to your OP that even during a winning streak you need to stop playing, because depending on the style of play and bet you are making, it is possible to lose in just two moves what was won in 10 or more past plays.
If it is "not possible" to stop playing, then you should at least reduce the amount, returning to the initial contributions, making a reserve of what has already been won.

This what makes this industry becomes that too profitable because of human greed and being that impulsive on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be ending up on playing more. Being responsible or sensible on the actions that you are making towards gambling could really be that definitely be that different to each other when it comes to reactions and actions be made up by a certain person. Knows on how to ride and stop? It would really be that pertaining into someones actions and control on which we do know that it isnt something that you could really be able to do
on the time that you are really that emotionally unstable or something that you dont like on having those losses.

It's true you gather more experience gambling but it in no way guarantee winning, experience doesn't means you can win ,it doesn't matter how long you have actually win been gambling to the point you become very experienced and strategic, you are still at some point prone to loosing so let's just keep an open heart to it.

Knowing that losses is inevitable gambling, will help a long way to keeping people away from addiction except for those who are kin and would still keep a straight head at it. Knowing that your level of experience dose not remove the fact that you will definitely run into some losses will help keep of ome mentality and also not relying on some other persons predictions because such person is said to have experience enough gambling, the day you decide to play their game, may be their bad day and you may end up joining them to suffer losses.
