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.
There's no Wisdom in doing a thing like that, especially with that mindset -- unless on special cases of you being a big bettor, then I can agree with you. The aftermath of this story strategy hits hard like the way Martingale does... What you stand to lose might be more greater than what you're anticipating. On top of that, chances are that you might lose 9.9999 times out of 10 tries, not worth the risk at all.
Maybe they’ve found a kind of excitement or satisfaction that I haven’t quite found yet.
in an actual sense, what sort of satisfaction can one derive from spending everything they should have budgeted for a month on a single ticket, but then still lose? I don't even want to try it. Any strategy that tells me that the more money I can bet would get me more profit is a scam.
