the old trick of increasing the bet after a loss. Yes, I've tried those strategies and, at first, they seem to work. You achieve a small increase in your balance and feel on top of the world. But as you mentioned, everything collapses when the losses pile up. A losing streak and your bets start growing exponentially, devouring your entire balance. In summary, I've tried it, but I wouldn't recommend relying on them to win consistently. It's very difficult to beat the casino; you need luck and patience, as I doubt there's a systematic trick where you win 100% of the time. That would be the holy grail for gamblers.
