About Gambling Math
Our Mission
Gambling Math exists to provide free, accurate, and accessible education about probability theory, expected value, and risk analysis. We believe that understanding the mathematics behind gambling is essential for making informed decisions.
Our target audience includes students learning probability theory, educators teaching statistics, curious individuals seeking to understand the games they play, and anyone interested in mathematical literacy related to games of chance.
We are committed to transparency, accuracy, and educational integrity. Every calculator on this site is designed to teach fundamental principles of probability and demonstrate why the house edge is an insurmountable mathematical reality.
What We Don't Do
- ✗
No betting advice: We never recommend specific bets, strategies, or gambling systems. Our calculators demonstrate why such systems cannot work.
- ✗
No casino partnerships: We have zero financial relationships with casinos, gambling operators, or betting sites. We receive no commissions or referral fees.
- ✗
No promotional content: You won't find signup bonuses, free bet offers, or affiliate links anywhere on this site. We actively discourage gambling.
- ✗
No misleading claims: We don't promote "winning strategies" or suggest that skill can overcome negative expected value in games of pure chance.
Our Mathematical Approach
Every calculator on this site is built on rigorous mathematical foundations. Our approach is evidence-based and transparent:
- •
Transparent formulas: We show our work. Every calculation includes the formula used and explains the mathematics behind it.
- •
Rigorous testing: All calculation engines are unit tested with 100% code coverage to ensure accuracy.
- •
Educational context: Each calculator includes detailed explanations, real-world examples, and answers to frequently asked questions.
- •
Simulation methodology: When applicable, we use Monte Carlo simulations with thousands of trials to demonstrate theoretical probabilities.
Our Values
Education Over Profit
This website is free and always will be. We prioritize teaching over monetization and have no financial incentive to promote gambling.
Responsible Gambling Awareness
We actively promote responsible gambling resources and encourage users experiencing gambling problems to seek help immediately.
Mathematical Literacy
Understanding probability and risk is valuable beyond gambling. We aim to improve general mathematical literacy and critical thinking.
Accessibility
Complex mathematics should be accessible to everyone. Our explanations are written in plain language with visual aids where helpful.
