About Riikka

Riikka Nieminen writes for the Betsobet blog on game mathematics and responsible gambling.

Return to player, volatility and the house edge are explained in the same terms the game info panels use.

The arithmetic is written out so a reader can repeat it with their own figures.

Betting systems are not recommended, because they do not change the expected value; the texts show why.

The responsible gambling sections are about limits and sources of support, not about willpower.

The texts promise no wins and quote no return percentages that cannot be derived from public figures.

How the articles are written

  • Writes on return to player, the house edge and table-game rules.
  • Writes the arithmetic out so readers can repeat it.
  • Recommends no betting systems and makes no promises of return.
"The only decision entirely under a player’s control is to stop at the agreed point." – Riikka Nieminen
