How to Gamble for a Living: The House Always Wins Against Bad Strategy

Do repost and rate:

In two of my previous articles released this weekend [bottom of the page are some links], we explored how casinos will incentivise you through all sorts of methods to wager as much as possible. Be it through "wager mining" like Betfury introduced with their BFG tokens that earn you dividends and are "mined" based on your total wager. Likewise, my casino of choice, BC Game, rewards users with level ups by increasing your VIP level and unlocking you more and more rewards based on total wager. My exclusive interview with a BC Game platinum VIP who has over 1.2 million USD wagered on the platform revealed what one can expect at the upper levels.

If this is the first post in my how_to_win series that you're reading, I highly recommend you start at the beginning and see how so many manage to stay in consistent profit, and even make a living, by gambling smart. And you don't have to deposit a dime in order to test these methods as the three casinos I listed below, and fully reviewed here, all afford you free coins to play with, either through BC Game's Lucky Spin, available once a day, or LuckyFish's faucet that allows you to claim a variety of coins as much as you like if your balance is zero, and lastly through Betfury's 20 minute BNB and BTC faucets that allow you to claim as much as you like. Yes, with Betfury you can even claim enough to withdraw if you keep at it. 

That's my little intro on my blog in general. For reviews of these casinos in more depth you can read my single review piece here.

It's also free BNB now too.

If you're unfamiliar with Betfury check out their site here and read up on BFG token staking.

My casino of choice is BC Game though. Sign up and get free coins every day with the Lucky Spin.

 

Anyways let's get to the content. I say that a lot don't I? I found a post on the BC Game forum advising users on a method to level up very fast. Simply deposit 100$ into your balance and choose a game with a 1% house edge, set your payout to the absolute minimum, and start max-betting. If you're a regular reader, you know I'm a big fan of using charts, all of which I make myself during the research phase of writing my How To Gamble For A Living series, and today will be no exception.

Let's run that method with "100" in balance and see what happens. When set to minimum payout your chances of winning are 98% and your payout is 1.0102x. That means that for every 100 dollar bet you win you'll increase your balance by 1.02$. One loss and it's all gone. However you're rewarded with 100EXP towards your level every bet - win or lose. Here's what happened on the first try.

Now that's not normal. That's just plain unlucky to the max, but as if to illustrate the catastrophic failure of such a method that was legitimately the result of one single minimum risk bet on dice.

I'll run a few more graphs and show what this method looks like on average.

Again, massively unlucky. Another.

There you have it, a "good run". By a good run I'm referring to the fact that it took a surprisingly large amount of bets to fail. Chart number 3 is well against the odds, and although you would only have lost 22.48$ [as well as potentially even made a 76.50$ profit had you not pushed your luck even further beyond the odds and stopped before the failure] it still shows that the method is high risk.

The casino makes a lot more when you bet at so-called "low risk" with a high wager. That's why they incentivise you to do so. If you found yourself looking at the above graph you might even say to yourself "well it won 76 times out of 77, I only lost once, I only need to repeat that with another hundred dollars 20 or so times". And you'd be correct, the graph would correct itself should you get lucky enough. But you're in dangerous territory and your chances of recovery are small. And my next graph will tell you why.

When you bet just to bet, and not to win, you can expect this.

 

I see many gambling blogs out there recommending silly methods like the Martingale, or variations of this kind of low risk betting. They are outdated strategies that make no mathematical sense. As a gambling fan, a probabilities nerd, and a self declared enemy of the casino, I only want others to win. Hence, I'll point out when someone recommends a garbage strategy. I care about the success of my readers, and if any of you happen to join one of these casinos I'll be sure to send a tip your way next time I'm grinding.

 

For some winning methods, check out my posts below. All methods were personally tested multiple times and provided by professional gamblers.

You may not always win, but if you can maximise your wins and minimise your losses, that house edge doesn't matter. Here's a graph from an earlier piece that illustrates a winning method.

That's how you win.
