Slot Secrets - page №: 6

We explain clearly what the advantage of a casino (house edge) is, how it is related to RTP and variance, how much you "pay" at a distance and how to use this knowledge when choosing games, bets, bonuses and bankroll management.

We analyze the main reasons why casinos are stable in positive territory: house edge, margin and the law of large numbers. We explain the role of variance, myths about "stripes," why betting progressions do not work, what with bonuses and when there are rare exceptions.

In intuitive language about how "chaos" in gambling and betting reveals strict rules: the law of large numbers, DPT, regression to the average, the "illusion of clusters," the markiness of spins and how these ideas help to soberly assess risks, series and bonuses.

We analyze step by step how casino profits work: house edge, margin, RTP, the law of large numbers and variance. I will show the formulas of the "price" of the game, analyze bonuses and betting progressions, give practical rules for choosing games, limits and bankroll.

Step-by-step algorithm for different purposes: long session, drawdown control or positive EV maximization. We analyze the fixed percentage, "units," Kelly and fractional Kelly, volatility and the risk of ruin - with understandable formulas and examples.

I explain the Kelly criterion step by step: from intuition and formulas to fractional Kelly, rating errors, correlated rates and limits. I will give you quick calculation templates, examples, checklist and recommendations for risk and volatility.

I show why a fixed rate ~ 1% of bankroll gives an optimal balance between game duration, drawdown control and psychological stability. Formulas, examples, when to hold 0. 25–0. 75%, when you can 1-2% and why more is almost always a mistake.

Step-by-step methodology for assessing risk in slots: RTP and edge, volatility and frequency of hits, depth of drawdown, bet size and session length, risk of "not living" to the bonus and to the end of the wager. Formulas, mini-calculators and ready-made presets.

Learn more →

Step-by-step bankroll management system: goal setting, calculation of expected losses (edge × turnover), choosing a share of the rate for volatility, reducing the risk of ruin, fractional Kelly for positive markets, rebalance, profit withdrawal and anti-crisis rules.

Step-by-step method for calculating Risk of Ruin (RoR): what it is, what depends on how to estimate the risk according to the formula and "on the fingers" for slots, roulette and sports. I will give stress tests, working presets of rates, normal approximations and a checklist.

We analyze why martingale (doubling after each loss) is mathematically useless and dangerous: negative expectation does not disappear, bankroll and limits grow exponentially, a series of losses happens more often than it seems, and a rare "fatal" drain eats up all the small pluses.

Learn more →

I explain why "raising the rate to fight back" is a bad idea: independence of outcomes, negative expectation, volatility and the risk of ruin. I give clear formulas, examples for slots, roulette and sports, as well as safe alternatives to progressions.

I show why short, pre-planned sessions win the "endless" game: less turnover and expected losses, lower risk of tilt and bankruptcy, more control over volatility and bonuses. I give formulas, duration presets, stop levels and a checklist.

Step-by-step approach to choosing the length of the game session: how to take into account RTP/edge, volatility, game speed (spin/bets per minute), session goal and tilt risk. I give formulas, landmarks for minutes and backs, presets for different modes and a checklist.

We analyze popular strategies - from martingale to "hot/cold" slots - and explain why most of them do not work against the mathematical advantage of casinos. Where strategy really helps (blackjack, video poker, bankroll, bonuses) and how to distinguish between working mechanics and myth.

We analyze popular "strategies" for slots - from catching "hot" machines and progressions to buying bonuses. What really works (risk management, RTP/volatility selection, pace, sessions), and what - myths. We give formulas, presets and a checklist.

Learn more →

We analyze martingale step by step: the principle of doubling, bank and turnover formulas, the likelihood of a "fatal" series, the role of table limits and negative EV. Compare with soft progressions, show real risks and give safe alternatives.

We analyze point by point why doubling "to the first win" leads newcomers to a quick drain: negative expectation, exponential rate growth, table and bank limits, frequent long series and tilt. We give numbers, simple formulas, stress tests and safe alternatives.

We analyze the Fibonacci progression: how it works (step forward when losing, two steps back when winning), how it differs from martingale, what are its real pros and critical cons. We give bank formulas, long series risks, examples and safe alternatives.

Learn more →

I explain Paroli ("reverse Martingale"): how the increase in the bet on winnings works, how it differs from the classic doubling, where the real pros (loss control, positive asymmetry) and the main cons (rarity of winning streaks, the same negative EV). I will give options, probability formulas, presets and a checklist.

What is alternating rates and why is it needed. We analyze working schemes (by size, by pace, by volatility and by games), when it helps to keep risk and psychology under control, and when - a myth. Formulas "prices of the hour," presets and checklist.

Let's analyze the progressions of bets: what it is, how it works (martingale, d'Alembert, Fibonacci, Labouchere, reverse martingale/Paroli), where their real pros and critical cons. We give bank formulas, effects on variance and risk, examples and safe alternatives.

Learn more →

I explain why there is no "universal" winning strategy: fixed edge, variance, limits and the human factor break any schemes. I analyze what really works (risk management, product selection, discipline), where there are rare exceptions with EV> 0 and how to assemble your own "solution framework."

Learn more →

We analyze how the real strategy differs from superstitions and "magic systems": testable hypotheses, + EV sources, data, metrics and risk profile against patterns, will also accept after the fact explanations. I give checklists, tests for falsifiability, mini-formulas and examples.

In simple language, I explain what the theory of large numbers for slots means: why a long play leads to RTP, how it differs from the DPT, how volatility and frequency of hits affect, how many spins are "many," and why a series of failures cannot be "sat out" by raising the rate.

Learn more →

I clearly explain the variance (volatility): why, with the same RTP, different games are felt differently, how the variance is related to the depth of drawdowns, the frequency of series and the risk of bankruptcy. I give formulas, simple approximations, mini-calculators, betting presets and session lengths.

High volatility scares in long series without winnings - but it has pluses: a chance for a large upside, the best hit in asymmetric goals (break-profit, tournaments, missions), saving the "price of the hour" at a rare pace and flexible work with promo. I analyze when high-vol is justified, how to manage it and what to avoid.

I show you how to estimate the probability of "being in plus" after N bets/spins: binomial model for bets 1:1, normal approximations for slots, relationship with RTP/edge and volatility, confidence intervals and fast calculators. Examples and ready-made presets.

Practical guide for players: what is the "distribution of winnings by time," from which series and failures are born, what metrics to watch (hit frequency, variance, duration of "dry" intervals), how to build simple models (Bernoulli, Poisson, renewal processes), and why "timing" does not defeat RTP mathematics.

A step-by-step technique for quickly checking the "actual RTP" at a distance of 1000 spins: what to fix, how to count the average return, frequency of hits and variance, how to build a confidence interval (through empirical variance or bootstrap), and how to interpret the result without player errors.
