The topic covered here is probably the most fundamental problem that most gamblers fail to overcome. First of all let me say that you must first be playing a game in which the odds can be larger than the actual probability at certain points in the game. This is the first fundamental flaw amongst gamblers. They prefer simplicity citing complexity as the enemy when in actual fact the opposite is true. The greater the complexity the greater the opportunity, usually. Just ask a punter why he plays the slots in preference to horse racing and he will say that he has a better chance of winning !, what he really means is that he has fewer variables to consider. The other problem that faces gamblers or at least those playing a game which offers opportunity, is that their approach is based around finding winners and not finding value. In horse racing they focus on whats going to win rather than is their a bet in the race. This is not surprising as their first exposure to Racing is via 'experts' in the media who operate in exactly the same way. Finally one thing the speaker did not touch upon which I think might be interesting is what value or opinion do successful gamblers have towards money. My guess is that ironically they are less driven by it than people think.

Mark Littlewood .uk uhh

[@mydogskips2]

+Mark Littlewood "First of all let me say that you must first be playing a game in which the odds can be larger than the actual probability at certain points in the game." What does that mean? Are you saying that the player/gambler has to be able to get a mathematical edge at some point during play?

[@ZakBurrell]

Mark Littlewood bloody well said mate. You got any tips going?

[@mydogskips2]

@@ZakBurrell To my knowledge, it is fairly well known and accepted that the only casino games which can be consistently beaten by strategic play are blackjack and some types of video poker. To win you have to learn the proper playing strategy for each respective game, and in the case of blackjack, you have to learn how to count cards. But even after someone does this they only gain a very small advantage over the house, typically a fraction of a percent on average. On very rare occasions some slot machines, namely progressives and those which are required/guaranteed to pay out a mini jackpot before a certain value is hit, can be beaten as well. But the progressive jackpot has to be very high, or you have to play a slot machine when it is very close to paying out the mini jackpot. If you have some idea of the average theoretical payout for the game you can calculate how much you are expected to lose before you hit the mini jackpot(which is guaranteed to hit by a certain dollar amount; there is a "counter" which tracks and moves, increases, by a small increment each time a given amount of money is played. However, my real tip and best advice is to not gamble.

[@mrniceguystylehigh]

@@mydogskips2 he means that value is found when the probability of winning and the payout odds intersect. For instance putting a smaller amount on a long shot win can be a great opportunity because there is less upfront cash you must risk to make the supposedly riskier wager. These opportunities can further be examined by the prospective bettor to find instances where for whatever reason the betting public has come down far too much in favor of the favorite to find truly great value bets. The psychological trick here is to never fall too far in love with your evaluation and remember that dogs are dogs for a reason and to keep value bets modest.

[@Veaseify]

Expert gamblers exploit market inefficiencies, they make bets where the odds on offer are higher than the 'true' odds of the bet winning, thats all it boils down to in every situation. Card Counters increase their bets when a deck or shoe is unbalanced enough. Sports bettors take advantage of lines that are inaccurate based on their models. Horse Players make their own book of prices and wager on the runners that are underbet by the public. Poker winning is based on accurately assessing the range of hands your opponent is likely to hold and calculating your equity as a percentage. You bet if the pot odds are higher than that percentage, although it gets more tricky because of implied odds and variance.

I am a poker and blackjack player who also played Baccarat. Many people think that Baccarat is a pure game of luck but it is not. Professional Baccarat players will not lose in the game as easily as novices do. The issue of skill in Baccarat lies in knowing the safer bet, the amount one should bet, and when to walk away. In a sense, it is also a game where important skills shall be exercised to increase the player's chances of winning.

He too prescribes putting a number on hunches and estimated subjective probabilities. His name is, if i remember correctly William T Morris. The ideas in the above TEDX runs parallel to Prof. William T Morris ideas. The prof's book was thought provoking. Iread it in 1978.

+Jose Francis I wanna add some more. William T Morris also suggests drawing a systems chart showing how you and the market interact. You draw one and two weeks later you draw another systems chart/diagram. 88 per cent chance the second one is far better than the first one.

Intelligence when considering risk it’s what the speaker talks about here. To make the analysis and end up with a number saying if something have this and that percentage chance of working out. Then look at the market and see if the odds is good enough and decide to give it a go or pass. Betting is never a game of "who will win". You need to go that extra mile and decide how big chance in percent a bet have to hit home. Either by calculations or by making estimates based on gathering data and process it and come up with that percentage number as he describe about those people that was betting on horses and they did the process in their head without any calculations. Don't believe, don't put confidence or pessimism into the bet, simply look at the numbers and do the call based on that.

Everyday i put in minimum a couple hours of home work and there have been days 15 hours all home work and no poker playing because i needed to understand the ins and outs of a situation to gain a edge on other pros that i play with on a daily basis. I even have revisted it the same home work situation multiple times hours at a time for a few weeks so i can ingrain it in my brain and come up with a over all strategy and multiple counter strategies based on how they react to it. Then i go play test it out and find a new reaction or adjustment i didn't think would be made and have to go back and understand how the adjustment effects my decisions whether it was in my favor or against me and how to counter it. Most poker players are lazy as shit and that is why so many can not beat poker online no more because it rewards work ethic.

[@fturla]

I can't verify that the risk intelligence test is actually helpful because the variables and selection of questions used aren't properly attuned to what is actually tested for. A word, phrase, or some altered statement of fact can be used to change the eventual true or false result so having a client give a proper percentage degree as to if a statement is good or bad is not accurate but if you were to present situations and ask whether certain outcomes are probable then I believe you will find better candidates for risk intelligence either the ones experienced in the matter or those that have applicable knowledge through other disciplines. The given examples are purposely difficult because the test doesn't actually want someone that knows the precise answer to each question. The test wants someone that has some doubt as to the evidence given as to whether the material you are presented will give you a proper result. This seminar doesn't actually give insight into what faculties and thought process are used by the best risk-takers therefore sadly won't be in a recommended list.

It's a shame the website is down now. Without the test I don't think we get any insight on the sports betters in question from the video. The 2 groups were computerised gamblers and the intuitive gamblers, with the latter being discussed. Once you take into account the 3 decision points (thresholds, bet size, & expected value), with other data, you are close to creating a system. If you have a systematic strategy it doesn't matter whether it is programmed (automated), or manually performed, the logic behind them is the same. What's interesting (for me at least) is how exactly they think, rather than stating they take some variables and eventually come to a decision.

Not all gamblers are fools. The vast majority are, though, because: they bet on games that have the worst odds, such as Keno, Big Six and Slots. Even if they play the games with the odds least against them, such as Craps, Blackjack and Baccarat, they often don't know the best strategies and even worse don't know how to manage money.

He was nervous. But the intent was clear. Blackjack players.

[@SportsBoss999]

LMAO!!!!!

[@nigelskinner2442]

Look at the pollsters compared to the betting companies. The betting companies are far and away more accurate. Experts in betting study the bookmakers and make rational/mathematical decisions. Ask yourself do you make better decisions when more is at risk, or whether to have bacon or eggs for breakfast. I suggest when risking money you take more care. We experts are risking our own funds, in many cases a large amount of funds, so we don't take this decision making lightly. Our reasoning process has been honed.

Well, do this then: Bet everything you have and everything you can borrow on the Bills vs. Kansas City this Sunday. As of this writing the Bills are getting 2 and a half points. Not sure which is the better bet: The Bills or betting the game under 56 and a half. Thank me later. Mahomes is toast.

[@plexasm3623]

For casino gambling you need to be a savant to find an edge. For sports betting if you're good you can find edges quite easily

[@skinovtheperineum1208]

Bet the house on the Bills this coming Sunday vs. the KC Chiefs. Bills get 2.5 points or go under 56.5 pts. total.

This guy clearly knows sweet FA about poker :)

[@davidmiller-zf8zl]

The real victim here is this guy’s work. It’s probably valid and interesting. Too bad we’ll never know by listening to him deliver his research.

[@acool6401]

The only way to win as a professional gambler is to have a solid substantial edge in the game that will play out in the long run due to "The Law of Large Numbers" Understanding your data set and finding that edge is the hardest part, the rest is all just money management, adherence to the system and mental discipline.

[@user-bb1qo1px7s]

Perfect. Just have to remember: long run cant be forever. Some may never find any Edge and lose a lot of lifetime. For others they may get rich...I would advise to buy that edge from another expert player ( not Gambler, thats pejorative), that Will buy you some time.

[@sweetasuwtb]

I beg to differ with you. Roulette is strictly a game of chance only for the novice who doesn’t understand math!

Your website is down sir.

He said pokerplayers twice in the beginnin, I think he meant blackjack players the second time. Also the site is down. It started somewhere in 2010 from what I can see.2017 it is obsolete?

[@MKrip808]

I was just on the site and took the test. It must be back up.

[@maheshkrshnan8064]

Here is an example of a poor communicator, though knowledgeable ,failed to put across his thoughts in a simple, elegant manner and share practical and actionable insights. Instead watch LIV BOERLEE on the same subject who has 2 talks on this subject. Just brilliant! It's on TED website. Watch the 5 minute talk first ( 3 lessons in decision making..)

[@mzervoudis]

Although the general approach is correct, the presenter is not presenting the information correctly for the poker segment at least, it is more of a strategic game than a physiological/emotional intelligence game.
