And I think the psychological factor and player's bankroll to stand for a bad streak is also important: a missjudgement like a gamblers fallacy can put you out of the game before you can achieve at least that 1% HE
if you quickly skim through the player's wagered and profit/loss,
the ones that keep it not hidden,you can see that way too many players have loss figures much bigger than the estimated HE of 1%
means that either the strategy is not optimal or the "meaningful" bets went wrong
for example: you can bet a million 1 satoshi bets at 50% chance and then place one 0.01 bet and lose it all
and too many players believe that if they just had ten reds in a row,they simply must win the next one-gambler's fallacy number one
the main cause of so many tears and scam accusations
Sounds like they have no bankroll management to be able to make a huge number of bets and had to stop after they catched a negative variance streak. Because the more bets you make, the closer you will come to the 1% HE.
This is true for maybe a bot but humans are crazy unpredictable.
Even if a player plays for a long time and has a HE of 1%, they will most likely switch their bet values around and basically get more larger losses and less small wins.
Basically a good example is someone who is betting like 1 satoshi on 50/50 and they find that luck is on their side, and so the next bet is like 100x larger which results in a loss. So their balance is much smaller but their win/lose streak is still within the house edge.
it is amazing how people gamble without knowing the basics sometimes
when you go to a bank and deposit,you tend to read about it,read the contracts,fineprint etc.
but in gambling and politics people think that they will get lucky ,come on we can't have the same crappy politicians 5 times in a row-
the next try is going to be a winner for sure
if all of the gamblers are educated about bank management,gambling basic strategies and do not chase losses or go full retard
IMHO,the casinos would have had much less profit,but on the other hand,the player's base would be larger
it seems like the same group of people is gambling at every single casino I'm registered
