Expecting is much different. Which is clearly evident by dozens of posts you've made alluding to this.

You WANT to win, sure, everyone does...but you don't actually EXPECT to.

At this point of realization, many draw the line, and simply choose not to gamble at all - because they expect they can't win at it. This is sound, but very basic logic. The house ALWAYS has the advantage, mathematical fact. That's true in this silly game, it's true in a real casino too.

And there's the problem. You're content with accepting losing (and complaining about it) instead of thinking, and learning just enough to maybe get smarter at how you approach it.

Which if applied correctly, can be profitable.
Gambling is not about maximizing what you win, it's about minimizing what you lose.

The people that lose the most will not grasp the second part of the above statement...because they bet high, yet expect to lose.


good counsel. played a mess of 10 buck LIR hands, no indication of winning hands, so kept the bets low. when it starts to pay off multiple hands, then i start raising bets, hoping to catch the big one. have noticed that hands are streaky, lots of losing, and a bunch of winners all together. wading thru the losers takes time and patience, and low bets.

A lot of both. Mostly charity. LIR can run 100k down in 10 minutes, so I'm playing the 100 chips on video crack.

This.

You have to at least have a clue at what you are doing and bet accordingly.
