I've tried countless times, and my own betting methods didn't seem to work. So, I started following the winning strategies of my fellow gamblers. If my friend bet on the banker, I would follow by betting on the banker, and the same goes for the player. Many times, this miraculously turned my losses around. Since I couldn't come up with a winning strategy on my own, I borrowed someone else's luck. It's rare for someone who's riding the wave to sink the ship, so we all ended up happy.
My British friend, Holloway, is an outstanding gambler who emphasizes data collection and analysis. He simplifies betting on "banker" or "player" and "staying" or "switching" into four categories: "banker-stay," "banker-switch," "player-stay," and "player-switch," just like the "1, 2, 3, 4" pattern in Fan Tan. Additionally, when your winning or losing streak falls behind by 2 rounds within the first 10 rounds, it's a sign to follow a winning streak. If it falls behind by 4 rounds or more within the first 20 rounds, it's a must to follow a winning streak.
For those who want to become "casino investors," the most crucial skill is understanding the "gambling cycle." What is a "gambling cycle"? It's the cyclic variation of luck that occurs during gambling, the rhythm of fortune's ups and downs in the casino. Anyone entering a casino may feel like there's a hidden force at play. Sometimes you're incredibly lucky, hitting whatever you bet on, and other times, even when you should be winning, you only manage to lose a little. To truly win in a casino, you can't rely solely on luck. Luck may bring you short-term gains but can't guarantee long-term profitability. Instead, if you solely depend on your intuition, you'll often end up losing. That's why we study the "gambling cycle" and sometimes follow others instead of following a specific pattern. The trickiest part is that while we don't rely on luck, we still need to understand our own luck and make decisions based on it. The so-called "DB cycle" requires a lot of time and effort to research and compile data. You accumulate experience in the casino by studying and constantly learning. With enough exposure, you'll start recognizing different "gambling cycle" patterns at the gaming table. When the time comes, you'll be able to quickly recall various patterns from your memory and make the right decision. In other words, intuition or luck relies on momentary inspiration, while the "gambling cycle" relies on long-term accumulated data and analyzed decisions. |
