I’m curious to know if others in the community have ever considered the All-In gambling strategy. In a game of pure chance, could it actually be smarter to bet everything in one go instead of spreading out your bankroll over time? As you know, most casino games come with a house edge. Let’s say around 5% (Actually it's between 0.5 to 6%, and it depends). If you start with $100 and place $1 bets, you lose about 5 cents per hand on average. Sure, the results may change, but the longer you play, the more accurate the math becomes. After 1K hands, you’ll likely be down around $50.
That got me wondering: if more hands mean more chances for the house edge to win more and more, wouldn’t betting it all in one shot give you a better chance to win, at least in the short term? One crazy move could double or triple your stake. Of course, it could also make you regret it for the rest of the month if you spend the money meant for 30 days of play and lose it in 1 second, then find yourself bored for the rest of the month.
To be clear, I’m not advising anyone to do this...IT'S DANGEROUS. Personally, I don’t see the “all-in” approach as a responsible way to play. I prefer having fun, staying in control, and knowing when to stop. But I’ve seen some seasoned gamblers who really believe in it. Maybe they’ve found a kind of excitement or satisfaction that I haven’t quite found yet.
I’m just sharing the idea here, openly and curiously. Have you ever tried this method before, and what was your conclusion?
