Yes of course they do, it's all just probability.
The problem is that casino's are much better at this kind of thing than anyone else, and after so many years they know all the angles.
This means that today's 'gambling systems' require large capital with small margins, and many hours at the tables.
And of course by the time you just about manage to break back even, everyone is on to you and you get blacklisted from all the casino's

Most don't.
Basically, those that don't require you to gather information and process it intelligently are useless.
A few - like counting cards in blackjack, or using a mini-computer to predict the result in roulette - can give you a slight edge over the house.

-Playing strategy in video poker -Card counting in blackjack -Card counting in baccarat -Card counting in spanish 21 -holecarding in blackjack -Shuffle tracking in blackjack -Shuffle tracking in spanish 21 -Card sequencing in blackjack -Hustling large progressive jackpots on slot machines -Detecting wheel bias on roulette wheels -Hustling casino promotions such as match plays or promotional betting terms -Dice control in craps All of the above systems, will work, or have worked successfully in the past, among them, dice control, and wheel bias in roulette are not applicable in modern casinos as they have security measures against them now. Dice control may still be possible, but nobody really knows for sure, its a theory, and its almost impossiblt to prove or disprove, the theory is sound in principal though. Husting progressive jackpots is not a gauranteed win, since you would need to play trillions of trials, however the odds will be in your favor. In general, the only game that is still readily beatable is blackjack and spanish 21, most professional players play poker, but that really isn't a casino game. All of the other "professionals" use betting systems that don't really work at all, if a player calls himself a professional roulette player, or craps player, or he/she plays any other game in addition to blackjack, they are not a professional gambler. Any system that instructs you to keep track fo wins and losses and bet accordingly, is NOT a valid system, such information has no effect on odds of the game. Most systems are bogus, but there are legitament ways to beat games.

Systems where you keep betting and doubling your stake until you win do work, but you have to make sure you always have enough money to keep doubling and betting with, and that the odds will pay back over twice your stake.

They all work to a degree but its still a game of chance. The saying that "the house always wins" is unfortunately true.
