Come on....how can someone believe that there is a system to beat any casino sinos would go out of business. Casino games have negative expected value and you would lose. It should be for pure entertainment, not a money making strategy. All you guys need is a basic understanding of statistics to get this.

Only live poker and sports betting are the only form of games where you can use skill to give yourself advantage but even those are hard work and grind.

It depends on your definition of a system.

Positive expectation play exists and many folks here make good money. But none of that fits the common definition of systems betting.

As gamefreak alludes to, you have to understand the difference between systems. Card counting is a system that works, Martindale is not.


Systems that only involve changing the bet size without other knowledge and or other changes will fail.

from what I understand a system that works is no longer considered a system but a method.

indeed. Apart from a slight advantage from BJ card counting, Systems per se, such as progressives, money management, hit and run and hot streaks etc are all of zero financial value, though they may add extra amusement value. *
However, there are some real and exploitable opportunities in the careless or reckless ways that some casinos and their marketing managers, operate. Enough to be a career for some players. Surprisingly, there are sometimes massive opportunities with life spans that may extend from minutes to years. Don't expect those in the know to reveal these opportunities except at a superficial level after they are closed down.
* Some members vocally insist that they whup the casinos with hit and run and streak betting. Heck, one guy "knows random" so well that he used to suggest he could
whup roulette, though he's less vocal on that theme nowadays.
Exponents of mathematically unsound strategies have their posts derided by others, often robustly and even often rudely.
Beware. The earth is NOT flat. Hit and run is not a winning strategy: Pressing into trends IS not a winning strategy: Progressives are not a winning strategy: Don't Buy It! .Don't even take it for free.

Hey, Once Dear, that second paragraph is a gem. Couldn't do better if I spent a month trying to say the same thing.

Absolutely nothing. Say it again.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

When an established, but rather lucky member suggests to a newbie member and all newbies who may read it, that he follows a rubbish, losing strategy then that matters. It really matter.
It's totally academic that you have had previous (unbelievable) good luck with that strategy.
It's a bit like a previously destitute person who became a million dollar lottery winner suggesting that poor folks should spend all their worldly wealth on lottery tickets. It does a great disservice to those poor folks.

This forum does not support such malice, mischief or ignorance, whichever it is, whether wilful or not.
