I always tell and advise my friends who are new to gambling to never look for a pattern in luck-based games because there is none even the ever-popular martingale is not a guarantee that you can find a pattern that will give you a continuous win.
I have a friend who boasted that he had found a pattern where it allowed him to win 10 successive bets on Mine Sweeper, he used that pattern two successive days with success but unfortunately for him on the third day those patterns are not working anymore even on the 4th and fifth days, now he is back on the drawing board again..
I told him that the house edge plays out and since this is luck based game what works now may not work tomorrow every day is a new session with new patterns
How about you have you at one time of your gambling experience experienced finding patterns that you think are effective and consistent only to find out later after several days that it's not working anymore..
And are you still looking for patterns that you think will work in the long run for you.
No strategy is infallible, because if it were, we would certainly have many bankrupt casinos today.
What happens is that a certain strategy can really work in a specific condition, but it will only continue to be successful if the player knows how to manage his bankroll and mix this strategy with others.
The Martingale, for example, is valid up to a safe multiplier that you can afford.
If consecutive losses are very high, then it is necessary to give up this strategy and use, for a few rounds, another that is more conservative, until the bankroll is recovered.
Sometimes, no strategy will work, so it's time to change sites or even stop playing that day and start over from scratch another day.
Anyway... strategies help us, but they should not be seen as something miraculous or infallible.
