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.
I thinks it’s curious that they didn’t catch onto these pattern plays sooner but as you said his 4th - 6th days even the patterns there didn’t work and he was back to the drawing board. I would imagine casinos go though great lengths to try to keep their winning percentage as high as they can and I’m sure they have they ways with keeping that percentage as high as possible, maybe even have a full time pattern checker guy! Lol
