As a computer science student at NYIT, I ran 12,000 simulated Aviator rounds using Python and real-time reinforcement learning. What I found shocked me: most 'winning strategies' are mathematically flawed. This isn't about luck — it's about understanding the hidden mechanics that silently drain your bankroll. Here’s how to spot the traps, from RTP illusions to false streak patterns, and why your gut instinct is lying to you. Real data. Real code. No hype.
