Why is gambling so awesome?

[Anonymous No.12909691]

I started gambling one month ago and it's amazing. I play everything and bet on everything.
Why is it so demonized in media? It feels so good!

because it's a legalized instance of one group taking money from another group and the difference in intelligence is so great that people find it to be off putting similar to selling a fraudulent investment to someone with down syndrome for example. you have to be a complete retard incapable of understanding math to gamble

That's only with pure games of chance. Games like poker, billiards, and black jack reward skill and autism and the house has no vested interest in which person actually wins. They simply provide a platform on which players can compete with each other.

This isnt true. Ive mastered roulette after years of practice and reading books. I have an edge of 55% at this moment and this will grow to at least 87% based on my calculations.

Poker is pretty great along with blackjack but anything else isn't worth playing since the house always wins.

dont listen to the retards. i knew a guy that's so good at roulette he would be asked to leave after winning so much. roulette is fun but its harder to profit than some games. there still is absolutely a way to become skilled at the game and anyone that says otherwise is a coping retard. as my friend once told me: "only stupid people lose at the casino, smart people know how to win and walk away with profit." most people are stupid though so they will lose.

Gambling is great until the devil possesses you and you keep going until you lose it all. I played a game, sticked to a strategy and was doing well until I became impatient and wanted to make more money fast which resulted in a loss. It was a few hundred bucks though but no idea what got hold of me.

During the 90's there was a Spanish family that mastered the roulette and they would travel around Europe and USA making hundreds of thousands a month until they got kicked out of every well known casino. One casino even took them to court because they lost so much money thanks to the family but they lost the case. I just love when casinos get fucked.

You realise gamblers won't tell you when they lose do you? Ran a casino for 10+ years anon. Every gambling addict had "a way" in the end they lose. Some last a year though. But in the end, they'll lose.

forgot to reply to you, but you are absolutely right. We've all seen it before, like you said you get impatient and carried away, and then you've lost. I've done it once or twice myself. For anyone that actually wants to gamble, try not to do this.

>>12910009
Lmao. That's really funny that you say that. The guy I'm talking about is Spanish. At one point he was telling me of his exploits and I suggested he should travel the world just taking money from all the casinos. He's been asked to leave both brick and mortar casinos and at least 1-2 online ones as well. I wonder if it's the same guy? Where did you hear about that? Got any link or story?

>>12910034
Exactly, like I said to the first guy in this post. Getting emotional or whatever you want to call it is often the downfall of the gambler.

>>12910148
That may very well be the case. The fact is while these games may be designed to give the house an edge, based on what I've seen a player can study and understand the game to his advantage. It may not be perfect and foolproof but a player can greatly increase his chances of winning by understanding how the game works, odds and probability, as opposed to just randomly placing bets and hoping to win. I've seen it, and in the case of my friend, his downfall was almost entirely his own greed, nothing more.

lol at the retards ITT who say you cant "be good" at roulette.

it's fucking hard, but there is a way to beat the house >51% of the time.

see how the dealer spins the wheel, see the force he uses, the way he drops the ball etc. Because the roulette wheel always starts at the same position and the same ball is used each time and the same dealer drops the ball in each time, there is a slight tilt in the odds as to what colour/position on the wheel it will land on. e.g. maybe 505/1000 times the ball will land in the range of 1-5. It means there is a slight edge there. You identify the edge after days of going to the casino and exploit it.

[Anonymous No.12910847]

>>12910840
to iterate, no ball is 100% round, no roullete is 100% perfectly made. There is always an edge. And a dealer has a tendency to use the same force each time he spins the wheel and drops the ball.

[Anonymous No.12910854]

>>12910840

Your spatial reasoning probably isn't that amazing, and switching dealers or slight changes in technique will throw you.

Now if you had, say, a computer that was doing calculations on each spin in real time, then you'd have an enormous edge. You can bet that the casinos would check you out at some point though.

Roulette is one of the dumbest, most low brow games in the casino. In fact, it should be clear that any of the games that involve independent chance should be avoided.

[Anonymous No.12912555]

>>12911753
Yea, but you also encounter situations in poker where you get to bet after you already know you've won. It's logically impossible for you to lose. That's a unique thing in gambling, and that alone should categorize poker as the only real option if you find yourself in a casino.

I'm a semi professional Roulette player and belong to one of the black leagues in Europe, we're a private, invite only members group that travels to casinos across Europe, sometimes Asia, playing Roulette and on average we have a better annual performance record than the Renaissance fund.

Roulette, on the surface of it, is a simple game of independent probability, but this is only theoretical probability and unrelated to the physical manifestation of probabilistic entropy that is observed in the Roulette system. Therefore we refer to this as an entropic polynomial probabilistic system, from which we can derive alpha cohort probabilistic entropy, otherwise known as an 'edge'. Nearly every interaction between systems produces some correlation. Suppose that at some instant a pair of systems are independent, so that the composite system state function is a product of subsystem states. Then this condition obviously holds only instantaneously if the systems are interacting - the independence is immediately destroyed and the systems become correlated. Once you've groked that realisation, you can move on to countless paths into the game to yield winning strategies. Obviously I'm not letting on here, but there are lesser strategies that we don't deploy anymore that are still somewhat valid but not to the point where it's worthwhile (i.e. they work so slowly in your favour that you are likely to get banned from the casino before you've made an appreciable amount of money, ideally you need a big win and quickly).

An example:

Where R is observed rotational RPM of the Roulette wheel, n is the first number of ball contact, we solve for ∆ to produce the probability of observed i, which calculates the narrow range of number results for the spin:

Rn = ∆1 + · · · + ∆n, R0 = i

can you share one of your strategies with us gambling wizard anon?

So many brainlets ITT.

The only +ev forms of gambling are Poker or Betting on sports.

Roulette, Blackjack etc are all down to the house. You cant count cards anymore and this >>12913234 guy is LARPing. Enjoyable post though.

If anyone is actually interested in making money gambling, it can be done via sports betting, this is probably the easiest method. I spent a year doing this for money.

It's really hard in the USA though, I live in the UK we have access to a load of bookies that will have markets for all kinds of things you would never have thought of. Even asian bookies (the ones that have the highest limits and wont limit you) have a wide variety of games. All you need is an edge in one league or on one sport and you can profit.

You dont 'work one out' as such. Not with the way I am talking about anyway. There will be statistical models for different leagues but you can also get an edge by just knowing more than the bookies. Information on the teams/people involved that the bookies wouldnt have. Sometimes you can even bet on a fixed match.
