I always tell and advise my friends who are new to gambling to never look for a pattern in luck-based games because there is none even the ever-popular martingale is not a guarantee that you can find a pattern that will give you a continuous win.
Patterns will never work in gambling. Yes, for a short time, you may feel that some patterns are working and you can make easy money but this won't last long. Infact sometimes when you see there is a winning pattern forming, you become greedy and decide to put more extra money into gambling. This is the point where you start to lose and you never figure out what happened. In fact, this technique would never work for a long term in gambling and it is just a bit of luck that certain patterns were working for you.
I have a friend who boasted that he had found a pattern where it allowed him to win 10 successive bets on Mine Sweeper, he used that pattern two successive days with success but unfortunately for him on the third day those patterns are not working anymore even on the 4th and fifth days, now he is back on the drawing board again..
That's what i explained above that no pattern would work for long term. If you are lucky to find a pattern of winning in Mine Sweeper or any other game, better take profits after a few games and do not become greedy. One more thing which we can do in such a case is to decrease the amount in every game so that even if the pattern fails, we lose very little money and our profit remains intact.
I told him that the house edge plays out and since this is luck based game what works now may not work tomorrow every day is a new session with new patterns
How about you have you at one time of your gambling experience experienced finding patterns that you think are effective and consistent only to find out later after several days that it's not working anymore..
And are you still looking for patterns that you think will work in the long run for you.
Usually, gambling houses offer 1% house edge and it is enough for them to win considerably. No pattern or strategy can work in gambling. Its only luck and you can name it pattern.
My advice is to focus on risk management as that is in your control and that can save a lot of your money while gambling.
