Yeah, even in male dominated games like poker, you can see that there are women also who are engage in this sports and maybe we can see them winning in the future as well.
~

They are winning already. Vanessa Selbst has won $12 million during her poker her poker career. Liv Boeree - almost $4 million. Maria Lampropoulos - almost $3 million. There are many others like Maria Ho, Vanessa Rousso ... There are so many of them women winning big money in poker that I mentioned only very famous(in my opinion) ones. Women are playing with men and manage to beat them sometimes. Check this out, for example:

Poker Goddess Destroys Everyone in $7,551,857 Final Table!
wow, that's a big win, actually women can be invincible when they manage to focus on what they are doing such as doing business and also gambling, ...

Same as men, right? If the level of education is the same, they can do the same, not worse and not better, just on the same level as men.

i have long noticed that there are quite a lot of women who are really very skilled at card games and also dice, they seem like having natural talent, but often their romance is very bad, well that's because usually women are like the women above, they don't depend on men and are independent, ...

You can't be skilled in dice games, it's impossible. It's against the rules of the universe. You can't master something that doesn't depend on your skills in the slightest.

... they fight to obey the rules that women have to take care of the family.

And they are pretty successful in that too. They don't have to take care of anything. They are free individuals.

It is good to have self-control for everything, so we prevent things from getting out of hand. When a person has self-control, they do not overspend and control their emotions more and do not lose. What they lose is what they were predestined to do. That is, the casino will always be one of the ways in which we can get excited and have very strong emotions, because many things are activated within our body and it can make us happen or do things that sometimes we do not want within reason , but The emotion sometimes makes us play for ourselves because we have the hope of winning and that is only worse because if you lose , the problem is to recover the money, and you do not have to try to Recover the money inside the casino, because you lose more , many has happened to them.

Whether to recover the lost money or not, shouldn't be even a question. You don't think "How I will recover the money spent on the tickets?" after watching a film in a movie theater, right? Even if the film was bad, which would be the equivalent of losing some money to gambling, you don't start thinking how to recover the money. You just move on. Same approach to gambling will save you from troubles.
Very funny analogy but very true, the long and short of the whole thing is that, majority of gambler do not see or take gambling for what it is, and that is "having fun".

Majority of gamblers are just chasing after money, nothing else, and because of this, they never consider that fun part of gambling, they never find any gain in their losses, rather, they see it as loss, and nothing else but losses .
~

 I don't know, I think you are talking about people who are problem gamblers, and they are not the majority, problem gamblers constitute about 5% to 6% of all gamblers. So, I think most gamblers are there for fun indeed. Of course they want to win, we all want to win, but if we lose $5-$6, or whatever, we don't chase our losses, we consider the lose money as spent on fun.

Someone who goes into a movie theater to watch a movie, paid for it and came out disappointed because the movie was a bad one, can not go asking for his money back because he or she already got served what he or she paid for, it's just that he or she doesn't like it for personal reasons.

If like you said, gamblers can apply this same mentality to their gambling activities, all will be well, that is' for example, when a gambler plays and lost, he or she can look and consider the fun he or she had playing as the profit, rather than just all the time, focusing on the money that was lost .

Exactly.

It's obviously a superstition that a lot of people have. They believe that they will lose a certain bet if they share it with someone else who is unlucky, and when they don't share their bets, they manage to win. It might have happened once or twice in their life coincidentally and now they think that it is actually something. Some people have utterly foolish superstitions about gambling and you start getting annoyed when you see or hear about them.

A lot of people believe that they win in gambling during a certain hour within the day and they also believe that this certain hour works better on a specific day within the week, and I find that stupid because your luck doesn't have a time and gambling is completely based on one's luck.

Yes, it's a very dangerous situation when following your superstitious beliefs you win coincidentally and then you believe in that crap even stronger. It's better for you to lose all the time than this.

~
I think it's true that basketball players themselves also have some belief that they bring their luck charms while playing the game and win. It gives them the motivation or at least they believe they'll win when they have those jewelry with them.

I don't want to support superstitions, but I think it's important to note that there is a big difference between superstitious gamblers and superstitious athletes. The former are just dumb. Since the outcome of the game does not depend on their mood in any way, it doesn't matter how they feel. With athletes, on the other hand, their mood is important. So, if they believe, even wrongly, that something might help them win, it can improve their spirits and indeed help them win.

That's great. Now, win that Lambo, mate. It's around 1.5 million Golden tickets at the moment. Whether you have 1 ticket or 1.5 thousand, the probability of winning is very low and I think we can call it "the same". You have to get very lucky to win with 1.5 thousand tickets, 0.1% probability, and you have to get very lucky to win with just one ticket too. So, like I said, "the same". Smiley Just win it, and make all of us happy for you here. I sincerely wish you that.

Guys, do you know that there's a new game in the Money Train series, Money Train 4? Released only a week ago, and, of course, it's already there, on Bitcasino.io:


(Just click the image and go right there)

I was such a big fan of Money Train 2 that Money Train 3, when it was realesed a year ago, didn't impress me at first. I even wrote a big post about how I disliked the new characters and stuff, and it took some time before I started playing Money Train 3 more and more and realized I was wrong with my criticism, the game is awesome. ... But Money Train 4, I fell in love with it from the first try.



Won 30x of my bet so far, and something tells me it's not the end. Smiley The max multiplier of the game is 150,000x. Try it, guys. Let's share our biggest wins here.
1047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: September 26, 2023, 11:44:23 AM
The current ChatGPT version only has 2022 data iirc so you're better off using Bard AI if you want to test out an AI's prediction on sports, Bard's still in experimental stage so tread lightly when you plan to use it for real.

OMG, you are right! I just checked and indeed Bard's knowledge is up to date:



I didn't know that, thank you! Have you tried to use Bard for predicting outcomes?

Regarding the morality of using AI for sportsbetting I think that it's not a bad idea to use them especially if it helps you put in perspective on the teams you want to bet on but using AI to bet blindly, I think it's stupid.

There's nothing immoral in using AI for sportsbetting. Unless it's forbidden by the site, you are good to go. But I undeerstand why the question arises. Anything new encounters suspicion and hostility at first. Like using zippers instead of buttons was considered "infernal" by some.
1048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: September 26, 2023, 10:48:30 AM
~

I would love to say this is the sad truth but how do you explain that the slot provider and I am talking exactly about Pragmatic Play they know exactly where you left off and even if you come back after some days the slot continue where you lastly left off.In the case you hit the max win or near it chances are almost non existent that you will hit it again as the game knows that you just won this amount even if you come let's say 1 week back after your initial win,how do this provider know where we left off despite that have been several days that we didn't play that game?

Not only with Pragmatic Play, I think it happens with all slots, and I see nothing strange with it at all. It doesn't mean they "remember" your past winnings and adjust your future spins accordingly. They are not programmed to do that. All spins are random. Actually I like that the end of your last spin is where you start next time. It can be very useful. Once I lost internet connection right after hitting a bonus round. And I was very happy that the next day when I opened the slot the bonus roud continued.

-snip-
There are such times, I agree with you, but it's not like slots are programmed that way. It's just bad luck. Coming back again on a different day will not change anything. You can win big on the same day when you had a losing streak, and you can lose again on a different day, and then on another day too. It all depends solely on luck.

However, many people think that the luck of each account is different. What do you think about this? Does luck depend on the account?
I don't know, I'm personally not sure about that. Because, the random process provided by the system does not favor certain accounts. That's what I thought. because no matter how many players change accounts, if he don't get bonuses and jackpots it will be same and it will be useless to have several accounts.

No, it doesn't. Regulators wouldn't allow that.

I can`t say about know - o lost all contacts with him. The last time i was talking with him was about 5-6 years ago and he was still in the game. We didn`t talk about details and sums but he said that it was enough to get on vacation 2-3 times a year and not to have any problems with bills.
He played small enough tournaments so i don`t think that he is well known player.

It's not necessary to be a well known player to make your living from poker. Well known players make millions during their poker career, and Daniel Negreanu has made $40 million in winnings($50 million according some sources), Phil Hellmuth - $30 million. While, depending on where your friend lives, $50-$70 thousand per year may be enough for a luxury life. Where I live $20 thousand is more than enough. You won't be a well known player with these earnings, but it could be said you are doing well with gambling as your major income.
1051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A person who won 600k$ in lottery on: September 26, 2023, 01:29:04 AM
I think buying materialistic things shouldn't be the priority in case one manages to win such a large amount, and it should be used to create businesses and income streams so that they can earn a lot of money through those income streams and then they can use that money to build whatever they want in their lives including houses, buying cars, or whatever they like to do, they can even start investing in cryptocurrencies or real estate once they have their income streams set.

The reason why I say that is because when you have multiple income streams, you will have a good cash inflow which will make your money keep increasing so that when you spend money on something, your wealth doesn't go down over time and it stays balanced or keep going up in the long run.
Your advice is right but the people that do that are the minority among the lottery winners, and we know this is true as many of them lose their fortune just a few years after they won it, so to those people the idea of creating a business with that money or to invest it never crosses their mind and that is because those thoughts never crossed their minds before either, so the first thing they do is to spend that money in all kind of luxuries they do not need and that they cannot maintain.

But we shouldn't forget that if you open a business it will not necessarily be profitable. It's not like if we buy luxuries - we are broke, if we invest in a business - we prosper. All money invested in a business can be lost. I would suggest to spend half of your winnings on "luxuries", I mean, on the things you've been dreaming of your whole life.

Chelsea and Manchester United ruining your bet?
I think you are taking too much risk when you put Chelsea and Manchester United in your bet. I don't know why I recently or even from last season always think long when going to bet on Manchester United and Chelsea. And actually this is something annoying for me, because when I bet on them, they will lose, and when I don't bet, then they win. It's unbelievable to me. Lol
If you can win, the odds will be very favorable. No problem, just not yet. Keep up the good work buddy.

Thanks for the advice! No Chelsea and Manchester United in my future multibets. We'll see how it's going to work out for me. Anyway, it's all for fun, innit? Smiley

Congrats, everyone who was rooting for Newcastle! I can imagine how you feel, guys. Smiley

@Betwrong things can't get any worse than they did for both of us and we must and can only improve. those 4 points from last weekend that was my worst performance ever in a pool - it can't go on like this Lips sealed
so buckle up so slowly - efialtis has already kicked off and we both will do it next weekend then Grin

@cygan, you've moved 4 positions up.  Not a bad performance. Not so much from my side. When it seemed like there was nowhere to go further down, I managed to go down one position more. Smiley

And efi, with that pace of his, he'll be up soon, I'm sure.

Why didn't I put more trust in my favourite German team. I knew they were going to win by a wide margin, but I predicted 4-0, and they won 7-0. Next time I'll have more faith in them. I hope they won't let me down. Smiley

And I have nothing against it. It's their contest, their money, so, they can decide whom to reward with free spins.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much with my entry


I saw better works than mine in the thread in the Hand Drawn category. And this one by @Scripture


is an amazing artwork in my opinion and it didn't receive any prize, so I definitely shouldn't complain. Just wondering, has anyone received the free spins?
it is not comparable for me mate because each art you guys sent in the contest
are something you do with love,passion and effort in which spent time making your master piece , and also it is not about how it looks good but what it is emphasize and that is for me what brings value to your work man , your art its own beauty that can also represent the brand of Roobet and can be used as their campaign materials.
good luck on your next piece mate.

Thank you for your kind words! Sometimes it's not prizes, nor free spins, but amazing words like yours is what matters most. Thank you. I was going to stop participating, but now I'm thinking of taking part in this one. Roobet.com | Art Contest "Yeti Cash Dash" | $5000 up for grabs! | Ends Oct. 20th. Clearly your words were inspiring. Smiley

Just wondering, has anyone received the free spins?
Ive been asking this question here in ANN thread and the contest thread but I still haven't received a reliable answer.
The only ones who can answer this is the management team running the contest and those who have received the free spins.
I guess I participated in the contest five times if I'm not mistaken and won three times but never received a free spin. To me it seems like it's just a prop in the consolation prize.

Won three times? Wow, mate, congrats! You don't need the consolation prizes then, do you? Smiley
1057  Economy / Gambling / Re: Whats happening with Betnomi? on: September 25, 2023, 07:49:26 AM
$20k? I thought there were millions of USD on the site. I'm not a whale or something, but I had around $400 on the site. My balance was $150 and I would never deposit more but my friend offered to sponsor my poker game and I deposited $250 more just couple of days before the site disappeared. Was I among those few unlucky ones who had much more than $100 on their balance? Too bad.
It's possibly around the 20K range for the exit scam, but it could have been a little more if they were selectively scamming all along. If the amount was in millions of USD, we would have seen a lot of noise on sites like reddit, trustpilot, casinoguru, askgamblers and this forum.

For a website that was already struggling, I would say it's just the unlucky few that got struck by the exit scam.

That's what I was thinking too. I was sure they had millions of USD of users' money on the site, and since there had been no news about their "exit scam" or whatever, no news even today:



I thought we just had to wait till the issue was resolved. Apparently I was wrong.

Btw, I just checked, and they have reappeared on LinkedIn.:



But what could it mean? I have no idea.

There is still more than 1 year left in the election and currently the clear advantage is still held by Biden and Trump who are also candidates with former presidential status, but it does not rule out the possibility that there will be an increase in the advantage of other candidates such as Gavin Newsom and Ron Desantis.

Of the several existing candidates I think that as the election gets closer and each candidate's campaign becomes more active predictions of who will win the election will become clearer and it cannot be denied that the top two candidates will have a very tight competition gather mass supporters or gather more loyal followers.

That is certainly true,and most likely one of them will become the president. But for us here it's important to predict who of them will have better campaign, who will gather more supporters. We should predict it beforehand, the sooner the better, and this will help us to win with better multipliers.

The voting style in the US is very complex and has a long history.

In most other countries it's usually one vote per person, and then they just count it, in different ways sometimes, but basically one person, one vote in the end.

In the US, your vote could literally no matter at all, because they take the majority per "zone", with each "zone" having a certain weight in the final vote. It's weird.

It may seem "weird" for us, non-experts, but it doesn't mean it's wrong. My thoughts: if they are doing it like this in the most powerful country in the world, maybe we should learn from them?

I don't quite agree with you. Almost any person can get rid of addiction even without the help of specialists once and for all, but only he must have a clear understanding that addiction brings him problems and a sincere desire to get rid of it. Most gamblers with gambling addiction are not ready to admit even to themselves that they have a problem. This is the main barrier in getting rid of addiction.

Well, it would be great, but in reality we don't see a lot of such cases, do we? It's like saying, anyone can go to university and graduate. Yes, in theory, it's true, but what about reality? In reality you need professionals to train you so you could at least be enrolled to the university. Of course, there are exceptions, and with getting rid of gambling addiction too. But those are rare cases.

What? No. The percentage of earth that is inhabited is approximately 10%. Overpopulation is a myth from the 19th century. We are very far from the point when any land has a value because "everyone needs a place to live". Real estate brokers tell this myth to their clients to make them buy the land that is not as valuable as it appears. And then you end up in a situation like I described above.

I still think that Bitcoin is in more cases than not a better investment than real estate.
No doubt with real estate brokers give unbelievable promising about their land or property will up drastically more than 100% few years later to make client believing with worth for investing in property. Actually all real estate broker are true depend many factor make some land or property have lower values in the future from difficult with bureaucratic process when selling property or real estate assets until geographic impact when government move their business activities to other place. Regarding with my country want move capital to other regions give bad impact for real estate in capital before have highest values will drop slowly in the future when new capital will ready for releasing.

I think more profitable when investing in Bitcoin than real estate or property without face difficult when selling bitcoin assets than time needed with real estate.

Yes, it happens all the time. And the price of that real estate in that region goes down, and people lose on their investments. With cryptocurrency the same happens pretty often, but the difference is it can move in the other direction too, with will hardly happen to real estate in foreseeable future.
