OMG, this is the umpteenth thread I see where the OP is trying to lay down the law on gambling and is missing the point. For starters, as Igebotz and $crypto$ have said these are not winning strategies, they are responsible gambling tips. To believe that if you follow that you are going to win at gambling is to be clueless. In the short term there is no tip or trick that will make you win at gambling, and in the long term, in most games, which are of negative mathematical expectation, you will lose money.
