Before I started trading I did take on a few casino bonuses using a matched betting type site. Given the known % returns of certain slots I was able to use the bonuses and minimum bets wagered to make a grand or so. Likewise I created a bot to play perfect blackjack, using join bonuses to wager enough to withdraw profits

That was a one off per site\login and is the only way I'm aware of to beat the house edge, otherwise it's a mugs game

It's funny, I have a mate who is insistent he has an edge on roulette, using the "system" he's picked up. I spent a while taking him through the maths, showing him for every 40 bets, he'll lose x% of bank. He refuses to accept it as he's up at the moment. I'm waiting on the crash.....

There are none so blind as those who won't see.

Watched this ages ago, but the guy ya can see at approx 47minutes....has always stuck with me with the question of why? He seems fully cognizant and accepting of what he's doing...

I guess some people see excitement, some people see danger.....I presume those that see danger become statisticians
