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.
it makes sense but how many gamblers do you know are only playing to win? a lot of the gamblers are playing to spend the time and have some enjoyment but if they risk everything all at once and they lose they are not gonna have anymore to play again which was not the intention in the first place

while mathematically smart, its impossible to do this all the time as people would want to preserve as much of their bankroll
