    Raising the Bet after x losing hands on 8 deck CSM

    Is there any value in raising the bet after say 5 (or x) losing hands in an 8 deck CSM game, S17, 3:2, DAS game?

    I understand that each hand is discreet in CSM, is there anything statistically unlikely to lose x hands in a row?

    I am prepared to be flamed, just asking.

    thank you

    A coin lands heads 5 times in a row. Does that mean it's more likely to land tails on the next flip? No! It's still 50/50

    Of course losing multiple hands in a row is unlikely, but having lost multiple hands in a row, losing one more is just as likely as losing a hand ever is. You can't profitably bet with or against streaks, instead you must bet with advantage.

    You can answer to yourself.
    Just use a coin.

    Pretend it just landed on the face ten times.
    Flip it again.
    What are the odds it lands on a face a eleventh time ?
    Wayne Gretzky once said that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Life’s too short for regrets.

    yeah , if you win the next bet . what you are actually doing is using one " big" bet to hopefully catch up your previous lost( many ploppies do that ) . What if you lose a few more bets with a much higher amount of $$ As everyone already told you here . You are not more likely to win even after losing several hands .

    Obviously I’m referring to OP who’s displaying classic gambler’s fallacy
