to keep dice "on afloat" there exists 1% house edge,to satisfy your "capitalist math"
and this increases dramatically,since not so many gamblers are playing the best way,I have seen many having 5-10% of the total wagered lost
I agree, the biggest mistake that people make is to leave when they are losing (or betting much more than they can stand if they face a losing streak). In that way, if you are 10% down, it is supposed that, at long run, you can recover to (at least) that 1% House Edge.
Yes, in the long run you can recover to the 1% House Edge, but the question is how much more money will you lose until you reach the statistical 1% House Edge?
1) Player made 100 bets x $10 = $1000 wagered and unluckily hit a temporarily 10% House Edge = $100 loss.
2) Player continues to play as you advised attempting to reach the 1% House Edge to "recover".
Let us assume player makes another 10000 bets x $10 = $100,000 wagered and reaches the 1% House Edge = $1000 loss.
So even if the player reached the statistical 1% House Edge after 10,000 bets, he still lost $900 more compared to stop playing after he unluckily catched a 10% House Edge.
I don't think its the house edge that makes most gamblers lose money. Its more or less greed and fear.
If it wasn't for bots and API, I am sure most sites could have 0% house edge and they would even make money.
People basically martingale and get 20 losses in a row and end up losing their entire accounts, that's greed, fear and not the small 1% house edge.
People basically do the same when trading bitcoins. They buy bitcoin, wait until it goes up $50 and they take profit because they are afraid of losing money. However when the market goes against the, they keep holding on to their losses until their $50 profit ends up becoming a $500 loss.
Basically exactly the same way how everybody was panicing last week when BTC hit a new yearly low.
Gambling with dice is no different. There are a few $50 winners, but the sites probably makes most of their profits from the people who lose $1000-$10000.
