500 Casino - Probability for Games of Chance for American Scholarship

Gambling can be an exciting leisure activity when done responsibly. Our motivation for creating this website wasn’t just to help our readers enjoy their gambling experience, but to do so in a responsible manner as to improve their chances of winning.

We constantly strive to inform our players on the lessons of gambling and in doing so, impress upon them the fact that there are algorithms and probabilities that can be applied to gambling, and that “luck” is not the only factor which goes into winning and losing.

We also believe in the importance of education in a broader sense, not just in terms of gambling. A good education can change a life for the better in many ways, not least by providing opportunities that would otherwise be out unattainable. We feel, as a successful U.S. company, that we have a responsibility to contribute in some small way to the education of young Americans.

This is why we operate our C$1,000 annual scholarship for those studying Statistics, Physics, Accounting, Chemistry, Computer Science, Actuarial Science, Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Abstract Mathematics and Engineering.

Scholarship Background

We decided to make our 500-casino.org scholarship available students working towards degrees in Math and Math related fields.

We wanted the Scholarship to be associated in some way to what we do, and the field of Math plays a vital role in all aspects of gambling. Some of the most successful gamblers of all time have been great mathematicians, statisticians, etc. and have excelled in the understanding of this Science and how a solid and disciplined approach can improve your chances.

What is the Scholarship Prize?

The deadline of entry is June 30, 2017. We will pick a winner by July 31, 2017. If you’re the lucky winner, a C$1,000 check will be sent directly to your college by August 31, 2017 .
