I agree about the luck but for the strategy? I think it depends only on certain games. It can be applied on poker, blackjack, on some other card games and also in sports betting. For someone who is serious about winning and making a profit then there is no way they can forget adding a strategy to each of their games but there are some who just wants to test if how lucky they are, and there are newbies who don't know if what strategy is good to use so they just play the game directly.
Other than calculating the strategy, I think it's best to also calculate the odds or our chances of winning, so that we can decide if it's worth the risk or not.
this statement is more about the strategy of calculating the odds that we will get on sports betting.
actually sports betting doesn't require a strategy that is too complicated when we can see the odds we will choose. but we have to remember that in sports betting low odds are not guaranteed to win, sometimes low odds are like misleading.
on betting poker, blackjack and roulette, today I tried again to apply the martingale strategy to 2 games, namely blackjack and roulette.
In the game of blackjack, I managed to use the martingale strategy, but in the game of roulette, I failed to run out of funds after several consecutive losses.
I concluded that it would be easier and more promising to use the martingale strategy in the game of blackjack. if you want to use this strategy in roulette, you really have to have a big budget.
but if my conclusion is wrong, please let me know.
