So far I would say I have been more reliant on my old gambling skills and strategies seeing that I no longer have friends that are generous enough to share betting codes and give updates on new strategies to gamble with, so I want to know how successful in your gambling activities you have been so far if you compare;
a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies, versus,
b. Gambling alone depending on pure wits, knowledge and personal developed strategies?
Friends can't help in gambling, because they can't change the fact the house always win on long run. It's actually noxious to have friends helping you on gambling matters, and I say that based on personal experience, since I used to talk and exchange experiences with someone who was an active gambler.
He claimed for several times to have a working strategy which would ensure profit on long run, especially through dice bots, so I trusted him for a while and gave it a try as well. In the end, it always stopped working after a while, so after few situations of that kind, I reached the conclusion I shouldn't follow his experiments anymore.
Follow your own intuition, and be careful with advices and hints from others. They might not even know what is better for themselves, so how could they put you on the right track?
