Understanding Variance: What it is and How to handle it?

Gambling is a mix of winning and losing. Everyone, even top professionals, experience these ups and downs, known as variance. The difference between pros and average gamblers is that pros know they will win in the long run.

Here at Tilt the Odds we give you the data, and possibly the tools, you need to give you the best possible chance of being a long term winner. We can do that but we can't do anything about variance.
It is a fact of betting life and you have to think through how you will deal with it. If you are confident of winning in the longer term, variance should only affect you if you run out of money or it’s affecting your mood.
