First thing every player has to keep in mind is that sports betting (and gambling as it is, including casinos, poker, machines, tables) is the way to spend your free time and not the way to earn money. Once you bet to earn money, you have to prepare for serious work: on a daily basis collect information, analysis, follow statistics and keep an eye on all what is happening in sport.
Everybody knows that gaming machines (online and offline) are programmed to win, but very often they give you a chance to win (otherwise nobody would play them). And this is the way you can keep winning in a long-term perspective.
100% winning strategies exist
In case of roulette you can use math and calculate your chances to win. Yep, math and probability theory will give you all answer on your questions, but this is not what a player wants. Everybody wants a magic formula to beat casino, and that formula exists: Martingale roulette strategy. This strategy MATHEMATICALLY will bring you success in a long-term run, but not in a real life. Owners of casinos are not dumb and they broke the system and made it useless: they just put a limit on a maximum stake. Done!
Done, but not only for your. Casinos’ owners cannot beat math and probability theory. This is the reason, why “zero” field appeared on a roulette table. Yep, just to lower down a players’s probability to win. But again, casinos didn’t appear to make your life better and allow you to earn money.
How to earn?
Everybody who has ever tried gaming machine (at least offline) knows, that every time you time, there are occasions, when you win. Believe or not, this is the core strategy to beat casino or gaming club. One should understand, that the main vulnerability (assuming winnings) of every gaming club is that they will always allow to win (at least once) to keep you playing more.
Here comes the biggest psychological issue of the whole gambling. If you are a gambler or even a person, who came to casino to spend your free time and buy adrenaline for your cash, you will never stop playing until your’re done with your funds. But now we are discussing and analyzing the strategy to keep your budget “plus” after you visit offline or offline gambling house.
The only rule you have to keep to earn funds is .. simply take your money and go away regardless the amount you win.
Yes, this strategy works for all types of gambling. In case you win, just say “Good bye” and go home after your visit of casino. The main issue is, that this is the most hard thing to do. And nobody can argue that while spending your time in casino you have plans to spend your time in a funny way. Just imagine, you came to a casino with your lady (ladies) and friends and once you have “plus” balance, you say that you quit. No way! Moreover, if you spend money in casino, they will do all they can to let you feel good and continue to play (free alcohol, cigarettes, accommodation, transfer service etc.).
Now you know you can win for sure. Then think about your total balance: the rule to end the game is applicable regardless the amount you won. Sometimes it means that win amount cannot cover even your transport and accommodation costs, but again: it has nothing against the strategy we described.
Are you sure you calculate your winnings correct?
Very often people, who are keeping their excel-tables with amounts they bet, don’t calculate good. Bet amount is not the whole thing you are betting. In case you plan to calculate correct, you have to add lost “working” time you’re dealing with betting. Sorry, two hours you’ve spent to get statistics of games of your favorite football club cost you an amount you can earn while .. OK, cleaning your friend’s office! It is a part of your “lost earnings” as well.
In case you plan to visit a betting house or casino, you should count with costs for transportation! Those costs belongs to you gambling activity because they’re directly connected to them. And yes, those spendings must be counted as costs for your gamble, but a lot of players don’t think about it. To be more correct, they just don’t want to think about those costs, because it makes their “betting balance” worse in the end.
