101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: August 01, 2023, 09:58:55 PM
When I go to play in a casino that I don't know and want to make a deposit, I always check the requirements to withdraw the money, the requirement that they demand now is KYC, that's something they always have to do, the rest I haven't Having achieved other requirements that are so demanding, unless a bonus is chosen where that bonus is decisive to withdraw later, with difficult requirements, I have learned that for everything you have to read well in casinos, because every detail counts to change the things or the probabilities of withdrawals, and it is money that is being put at stake, then with more reason.

^ When exploring a new casino and considering making a deposit, I always make sure to check the requirements for withdrawing the money. One common requirement they demand now is KYC (Know Your Customer), which is something casinos typically do for security and regulatory purposes, and next is the wager requirements which are pretty common now.
In my experience, some casinos may have other demanding requirements, but unless I opt for a bonus with difficult withdrawal conditions, I have not encountered excessively challenging criteria. Nonetheless, I have learned that in the world of casinos, attention to detail is crucial because every aspect can impact your chances of successful withdrawals, especially when real money is at stake. Therefore, it is important to read everything carefully and understand the terms and conditions, as this can greatly help the outcome of your gaming experience.

Thoughts Huh
^ Watching casino streamers can be entertaining and offer insights into different games and strategies. However, playing casino slots yourself can be more interactive and immersive. It is important to enjoy yourself responsibly and set limits to avoid potential addiction. Streamers' success can inspire some, but it put in a possible risk for viewers to maintain a balanced approach to gambling.
Those casino streamers play a crucial role in providing entertainment and advertising for the platforms they stream on. It is important to remember that they are performing a job and fulfilling a role in the gaming community. While they may showcase their wins and successes, it is essential for viewers to approach gambling responsibly and not let these streams influence them to overspend or become addicted. That is also one reason I don't want to watch streamers and I don't even know about them who are those popular right now.
103  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are memecoins tarnishing the image of crypto? on: July 29, 2023, 09:21:01 PM
Memecoins are better invested during the bull, this is the best time because you should be ready to cash out soon with the pump before it dumps. So it is not all of them that are scam but they are low volume as they hardly create demand because of their usage which doesn't really reach out to large number of people niche. Another factor to look for is who is under the memecoin, who controls or hypes it. Like Elon musk hyped dogecoin, many people began to buy it because of who was identifying with dogecoin .
^ Investing in memecoins can indeed be profitable during bull markets, as these periods often see significant price surges and hype around certain coins. Timing your investments to catch the pump before it potentially dumps can be a strategy some investors use to capitalize on short-term gains. It is definitely right, it is true that not all memecoins are scams, their low volume and limited usage can hinder long-term sustainability and mass adoption. Many memecoins cater to niche communities, which can limit their mainstream appeal and demand just like for example Elon Musk's support for Dogecoin is a prime example of how influential figures can impact a coin's value. The hype generated by well-known personalities can attract a surge of buyers, but this should not be the sole reason for investing in any cryptocurrency.
104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Community research: To drink or to buy coins? on: July 29, 2023, 09:14:21 PM
~snip~
So, to drink (alcohol, or cola or tea or whatever  Roll Eyes ) or to buy Bitcoin???
^Haha, deciding between indulging in our favorite drinks and investing in Bitcoin can be a fun dilemma!
Let us break it down with some global perspectives, considering purchasing power parity (PPP) and dollar-cost averaging (DCA) for more interesting insights. So now, my favorite usual drink is a cup of tea. In some parts of the world, a cup of tea might cost around $2, and now, let us see how many cups of tea I had to forget to save up for one BTC.
Let us assume that the price of one BTC was around $30,000. Now, keep in mind that BTC's value can be highly volatile, so it probably has changed significantly since then. For the sake of this example, let us assume the price is still around $30,000.
Now, let us imagine that I decide to employ a dollar-cost averaging strategy to invest in BTC. Instead of buying it all at once, I will invest a fixed amount regularly. For instance, I will put aside $15 every week to buy BTC.
At that rate, I had been able to buy 2 cups of tea per week with my $30 budget. To save up for one BTC at $30,000, would take me a whopping 2,000 weeks, which is around 38 years and 5 months, I guess.
105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: July 29, 2023, 08:57:40 PM
^ Wow, that is quite a fascinating and humorous story you witnessed at the sports betting house!
It is not uncommon to encounter superstitious beliefs among gamblers, and this instance exemplifies one such belief. Some gamblers may feel that sharing their predictions could somehow alter their luck or reduce their chances of winning. However, in reality, the outcome of a bet should not be influenced by how many people share the same prediction. Gambling is based on probabilities, and each bet is independent of others, regardless of whether they share the same prediction. We know that gamblers do this but I can understand that some gamblers probably feel reluctant to share their predictions due to such superstitions. In the end, gambling is a game of chance, and sharing predictions with others should not affect the outcome.
106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On First Time Lottery Bettor Who Won Big Amount? on: July 29, 2023, 08:50:55 PM
Lottery here in our country is being run by our government and the majority of the citizen in our country are lottery bettors for many years, I personally know people who are betting for ten or more years but they still have not hit the jackpot I wonder what these people think or if you're a lottery bettor for many years and you read that one first time bettor hit a huge jackpot in a lottery.

Will you feel envious? Ok with it? or motivated?

Filipino first-time bettor wins 15 million Dirhams in Dubai lottery
^ In our country, the lottery has been operated by the government for many years, and it has become a popular activity with a large number of citizens participating regularly. It Is not uncommon to come across people who have been placing bets for a decade or more, hoping to hit the jackpot someday. While some probably wonder what keeps these persistent bettors going despite not winning, their reasons could vary significantly. When hearing about a first-time bettor hitting a huge jackpot, reactions among long-time bettors could differ. Some may indeed feel a tinge of envy, as it is only natural to desire the same level of luck and success. Envy, however, need not necessarily be negative, it probably is an idea to keep playing and hoping for their turn to win big.
107  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: July 29, 2023, 08:42:53 PM
That is the fact,  any casino that is truly ready for business will do everything within their power to make sure that they satisfy the customer's and work out a way to build a good reputation that will increase their user based on the community,  and those casinos that have cases of change in the TOS changes and funny acts are set out to defraud their clients at all cost and their are not interested in building a reputable business in the casino.

We can easily spot such fake casinos with the ways their treat their clients issues and how the constantly changes the mode operation.
^Definitely right because reputable and legitimate casinos understand the importance of customer satisfaction and work diligently to establish a good reputation within the community, the same as here. They strive to create an enjoyable and fair gaming experience for their users. These trustworthy casinos prioritize their customers' needs and concerns, actively addressing any issues that arise.
Also, casinos that engage in deceptive practices, such as making frequent changes to their Terms of Service (TOS) without proper communication, are likely to be attempting to defraud their clients. Such establishments are more interested in maximizing profits at the expense of their customers' well-being and trust and probably these unethical actions can seriously harm the reputation of the casino and drive away potential users.
108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will be the impact of this news on Bitcoin adoption ? on: July 28, 2023, 10:38:36 PM
This is a good move by the Europe government and the company in charge of the 60000 EV charging points across Europe. Although, this is a good move toward Bitcoin and a lot of Bitcoiner will be happy about it but this doesn't mean more countries will follow the step now.In my opinion, I believe the company that make the decision do it now so they could accumulate Bitcoin to maximize their chance before Bitcoin ETF was accepted.
^This was also what I believed.
As more positive examples of cryptocurrency integration emerge, it may help shift perceptions and foster a broader acceptance of digital currencies as a legitimate and viable form of payment especially in BTC.
While the decision to accept Bitcoin at EV charging stations in Europe is good news and is commendable and suits the interests of BTC enthusiasts, there could be a combination of factors behind it, including strategic considerations for BTC accumulation.
109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'll always tell people about bitcoin on: July 28, 2023, 10:05:18 PM
Your intention is good but I don’t think other people will have the same mindset on you. And even if you tell them about the risks aside, the fact that you introduce bitcoin to them and they’ll see that it has made you who you are today, then that will be their prime reason to believe in bitcoin too.

The first investment maybe good and profitable, but since they invest without much experience in the market then we can expect that sudden price crash will create a negative impact to them, thus making them fear to continue their investment and end up losing them in the end. And when it happens, you’ll be the first person that they will think the one to be blamed because you never warned them in the first place.
^ That is admirable.
Introducing others to BTC based solely on your success story probably leads them to invest without fully understanding the risks involved. The initial investment probably yields profits, but without market experience, a sudden price crash could cause significant losses and deter them from continuing their investment journey. Consequently, they probably associate you with their financial troubles, feeling you did not adequately warn them about the potential risks. Instead, it is crucial to promote important investing, educate others about the market's volatility, and encourage them to make well-informed decisions that align with their unique financial situations and risk tolerance levels.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: July 28, 2023, 09:50:27 PM
I knew that there's many topic like this in the past that asking advice about loaning for gambling. The intention of this thread is determined what's the actual feeling when you are using a loan money on gambling knowing that there's an interest rate on your borrowed money which means you already lose part of your money before you start gambling.

I saw many high rank users here that asking for loan and directly deposit the loan amount on gambling account. I want to know what's the experience on using loan money. Is there additional pressure on gameplay or just the same using regular money without an interest rate.
^ That is a bad decision, why?
Firstly, the act of using a loan for gambling can intensify the pressure and stress during gameplay. Knowing that you not only have to win back what you wagered but also cover the interest on the loan can create a heightened sense of urgency and desperation. This added pressure may lead to impulsive and irrational decisions, which are often counterproductive in gambling.
Secondly, by using loaned money, you are essentially starting the gambling process already at a loss due to the interest on the borrowed funds. This means that even if you win some money during your gambling session, you may still end up losing overall because you have to repay the loan along with the interest. This can lead to a vicious cycle of borrowing more money to cover previous losses, which can quickly spiral out of control and result in significant debt. So now what do you think?
111  Economy / Gambling / Re: Exploring the Math Behind Crash on: July 28, 2023, 09:38:37 PM
~snip~
However, there is a youtube video which explains it from a simple mathematical standpoint, so even if you do not have the necessary coding knowledge, it is still easy to understand.
^Not that easy, but yet it is better than coding.
In the video, it was explained well but I don't know if that will work in a long game.
It seems like it will give me a headache instead of enjoying playing crash games that are supposedly for entrainment purposes only.
Now I am just thinking about the owner of the gambling casinos who has a crash game if they are worried about losing their money because there are a lot of people won this game.
112  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: July 28, 2023, 09:18:19 PM
It doesn't matter what race, gender, or nationality you have in gambling because it isn't really that necessary. It's not like a sports event wherein a particular gender plays a bias over who's going to win. What people need to take note is that you have to be smart, strategic, and lucky in gambling. Otherwise, you are just wasting money over betting on something that you take a small chance of winning. One must be prepared enough especially if it involves sports betting that needs knowledge and not just pure luck or odds siding on you. There's certainly a probability of losing, but you can lessen the rate if you will be informed enough.
Anyone can play gambling, whether it's a man or a woman. What matters is that they have the money they can afford to lose on gambling and nothing more. They could easily win at gambling, but more people still lose at gambling. But it is not a wasted bet because the people who bet are aware of the risks and only use the money they can afford. And if, in the end, they use or deposit more money because they have experienced loss, that's a different story, and that can happen because they want to recover from their loss. But it will be difficult for them because they have lost before and must be ready for the next one.
^ Definitely right.
Anyone, regardless of their gender, can participate in gambling. What is the difference part is that they approach it responsibly by only using money they can afford to lose and that is right that while some others may experience wins, a larger number of people tend to lose in gambling. However, it does not necessarily mean their bet is wasted if they are fully aware of the risks involved and are financially prepared for any potential losses.
That is why we should remind them to understand that the odds are not necessarily in their favor, especially if they have lost before. Being prepared for the possibility of further losses can help them from gambling more responsibly and avoid potential financial hardship.
Gambling should always be seen as entertainment, and it is important to set limits and exercise self-control when engaging in such activities. Responsible gambling ensures that the experience remains enjoyable and does not lead to significant negative consequences.

If we planned our gambling bet we should not be going crazy after when we have not meet up our target in gambling, what i expected every gambler is to make table of how much should be spend in gambling and how much should go investment, because money we loses in gambling continuously if we gather it together it will sum up to start a little business. I'm say play gamble with experience, don't use all you have for casino gambling
^You don't experience this problem if you always think gambling is for fun not for chasing money.
Yes, avoid chasing losses and if you lose, resist the urge to try and recover your losses by betting more because it can lead to a dangerous cycle.
We should set limits as always to determine how much money and time we are willing to spend on gambling and stick to those limits, think always gambling should only be one of many activities in your life. Ensure you maintain a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.
114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Irresponsible behavior at the Las Vegas Casino on: July 27, 2023, 09:16:27 PM
The Linq Casino incidents show an intriguing aspect of human behavior, don't they? Such "shameless" activities may be motivated by attention-seeking or alcohol. Gamblers who do so raise eyebrows! Casino restrictions usually result in eviction and blacklisting. If the person disrupts the casino or endangers others, legal action may be necessary. This gambler's motives are unknown. We can only guess and be amazed.
^Probably because it is not uncommon for some individuals to seek attention or act impulsively under the influence, leading to eyebrow-raising incidents, especially in the high-stakes environment of a casino, and when someone engages in disruptive behavior or poses a risk to others, eviction and blacklisting are common consequences. Such measures are necessary to protect the overall casino experience for other gamblers and maintain a secure environment.
As outsiders, we can only speculate about the gambler's true motives in these incidents. Without knowing the person personally, it is challenging to discern the exact reasons behind their actions.
115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if salaries were paid in BTC on: July 26, 2023, 10:49:33 PM
A friend of mine in our discussion today about Bitcoin was insisting that salaries and wages be paid in Bitcoin in some countries.
I was of the opinion that the government will not allow fiat to be replaced by Bitcoin .so what is your take on this will it be a positive move on the Bitcoin ecosystem or not

If companies decided to pay their employees' salaries in Bitcoin then this only means one thing, there will be a huge demand for Bitcoin because these companies have to buy Bitcoin in order to pay their employees, and imagine how many companies are existing out there.  Anything that provides demand in the Bitcoin market is a good thing for the ecosystem because it will strengthen the Bitcoin market and at the same time make the price of Bitcoin surge.
^Exactly and on the positive side, adopting BTC for payments could have some advantages for the BTC ecosystem. It could increase mainstream adoption and usage, leading to more widespread acceptance and potential price stability, and using BTC for salaries probably reduce transaction costs and increase financial inclusion, especially in regions with limited access to traditional banking services.
However, it is important to recognize the challenges and potential risks as well because it is possible governments and central banks often play a role in regulating fiat currencies and monetary policies. The Concerns about potential tax evasion, money laundering, and lack of consumer protections could further impede widespread adoption.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Other Things You Can Bet on Aside Sports and Casino Games on: July 26, 2023, 10:43:53 PM
Anything could be gambled about. Difference is the volume and interest to a certain topic. Ever wondered why not all games are having tournaments? Or not all sports are being displayed with sportsbetting platforms? 'coz it does not have enough fanbase or community to support the interest. With reggards to odd topics such as Celebrity's death, it would be possible IF you will have someone or group of people who you could /have be in contrast with. It will all start with two or more different stands in a single topic and the will to put money or anything in exchange for the consequence of having the wrong standpoint or guess. Therefore, anything is simply possible to be a betting topic.
^Definite right and that was also what I am thinking while reading the OP.
The possibility of something being gambled on depends on the level of interest and the size of the community supporting it. Not all games have tournaments or all sports have betting platforms because they might lack a substantial fanbase. As for odd topics like Celebrity's death, if there are people or groups willing to take opposing stands on the matter, it becomes a potential betting topic. In essence, anything can become a subject for betting as long as there are people ready to wager on different outcomes.
117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Irresponsible behavior at the Las Vegas Casino on: July 26, 2023, 10:32:32 PM

The point here is why gamblers do such shameless acts and what the rules of the casino suggest the penality for these acts. Do you think the gambler did it purposefully perhaps to become popular in the headlines  Huh
^ It is difficult to determine the specific motives behind such actions.
But probably it could be seeking attention because he was drunk and out of himself. Some people may engage in outrageous acts to draw attention to themselves, either seeking fame or a moment of notoriety. However, this is speculative, and it is hard to confirm this motive.
Regarding the rules and penalties in casinos for such behavior, most casinos have strict policies to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all patrons. Behaviors that disrupt the casino's operations or offend other guests are usually met with immediate action from security personnel. Penalties may include ejection from the premises, fines, or even being banned from the casino.
118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 26, 2023, 10:24:29 PM
Greed is a negative emotion, hence it's results are always negative. Learn to identify and don't be carried away by it.
Please permit me to reason from the other angle of discussion. How about if a gambler is greedy and such greed leads the gambler into winnings.  Such that the more greedy he becomes, the more he wins. What do we call such a scenario or do we argue that such a scenario doesn't exist.

A greedy gambler might win because of greed but it wouldn't work in the long run because if he'll continuously be greedy, even if he has won huge profits, he could still lose everythinf in the end if he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.
Greed might work in a single time but it will affect our gambling journey if we will always have this characteristic all the time. It isn't a healthy attitude that will bring us success but rather a reason for us to draw nearer to failure. Self control and self discipline should still be an important attitude for us to grow as a gambler.
^Definitely right.
Without the ability to control their emotions and impulses, even significant winnings can be easily squandered, leading to potential financial ruin.
Greed can negatively impact the overall gambling journey and it can become a detrimental characteristic that hinders rational decision-making and leads to impulsive bets, thus increasing the chances of losses. We should not follow our emotions to become greedy it should be by setting limits on bets, knowing when to stop, and not letting emotions dictate actions that can lead to a better overall outcome.
119  Economy / Gambling / Re: How does AI gambling sound? on: July 25, 2023, 10:12:30 PM
Obviously, however we are not really talking about those games but games in which the skill of the player can overcome the odds given by the casino with skillful play, now computers are already better than humans playing poker, however this is a fair game in which all the players on average receive the same cards, however in theory it is possible to develop an AI which can beat the casinos in a game like sports bets, as there are already humans that can do so already and developing an AI with that level of skill should be possible.
^ I got your point which it is evident that some games can be skill-based and that computers have already surpassed human abilities in certain games like poker. However, the focus here is on games where player skill can tilt the odds in their favor against the casino. While poker is a fair game with equal card distribution, the possibility of developing an AI capable of outperforming casinos in games like sports betting is feasible. Human bettors have already demonstrated this skill, and creating an AI with such capabilities should be possible.

The main thing is:
The list of gambling that you provide here is not complete, but if you want to see a list of good and complete casinos, maybe you can visit here.
Under.
* Topic: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets
* Topic: Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos
* Topic: Loyalty Bonuses & Promotions on Crypto Casinos and Sportsbooks
^That is definitely a right list, nothing else, and why do you believe in the Trustpilot review?
They are unreliable sources when it comes to reviews because they are manipulated by someone. I think a good review that comes from the forum is genuine because it is actually experienced by the users. Because the most important when looking for the best casino is reputation and licensing. It should casino with a good reputation and a valid gambling license from a reputable regulatory authority, and the last part is the bonus offerings and promotions, such as welcome bonuses, free spins, loyalty programs, and ongoing promotions. However, always read the terms and conditions to understand the wagering requirements and other restrictions.
