Gamblers will just laugh at your recommendation, you cannot make them quit gambling just like that, and it's not really a good strategy, they always think no pain no glory, it's not really gambling strategy that they will want to implement, they want strategy to win money and have fun winning than not playing at all.

I'm not trying to make someone quit gambling. That's a different and very complicated topic. But many gamblers would benefit from spending a few minutes learning how gambling works. If this thread can make at least one person pause and think - that's great, if it doesn't - I wasted a few minutes of my time.

Well, it all comes down to it, but it's hard to explain to a person if he doesn't go through with it, but it's not until these years that I realize that in fact I didn't play or lose. But one has to have a lot of experience to understand the point of this sentence, and young gamblers do not understand it enough, how accurate it is.

It's not that complicated even without going into math and randomness, if you consider that all of those casinos would go out of business if there was a winning strategy. Business makes money - you lose money.
