The first thing you should establish is whether or not you guys are living in the same country. If you are not, then you can't expect the same arrangement as his at all times. However, his own narration best fits my country and many countries I've been to, you get to purchase the farm products very cheaply when you are living near to the farmers, and it could be ridiculously cheap at times to the point that what you buy there might be priced x5 elsewhere in the city. It might not necessarily be a far place, it might be a neighbouring town to you, and this kind of jumbo happens in many places in my country as long as they are border towns. There are many petty farmers who are primarily farming to feed their families and make a little money for other reasons. Once there are many in that neighbourhood, supply will crash the price and you can be surprised at what you are buying for your money. I've even seen Youtubers making mention of this. So, it's real. Alright, that's basically what I'm saying. 5 times cheaper, eh? Don't have such market near you, take a ride to a neighboring town. I mean, there's always a solution. But still I suggest to ask people around. Maybe such market is organized once per month and you keep missing it. Because I'm not talking about the place I live, I'm talking about many countries. I forgot to mention Cannes in France and Istanbul in Turkey. |

~The truth is that nowadays there are no more morals and ethics. films came to destroy society, people love films in which the main character robs a bank and is not punished, robs a casino and is not punishedNot all the people, right? I hate such movies, you hate them, and I don't think we're all alone. But we are grown-ups, we can handle it. What I hate is that they are showing such movies to kids, and millions of innocent souls that don't know how to resist are watching Aladdin, where the protagonist is a thief wanting to marry a princess. What do you expect from kids raised by such garbage? |

If a person once undergo through the feelings of success and large amount of money then what do you think will this taste be ended? No. Once a person realized that how worthy is it then be never let it go without getting more.
Dreams never ends so if you get larger sum then you will wish to play once again to get even more but unfortunately this dream will turn your meaningful profit into empty bucket containing no bucks.
But if you know this, you won't fall into this trap, right. Most people won't. They'll be tempted, but they will resist the temptation. It's hard, yes, it's very hard. If you won a lot once, you know it's possible, and you want to win again. What should stop you is math. You should know that the probability of you winning a lot is smaller than you losing a lot. That's why you shouldn't chase big wins, and just relax and have fun with your gambling, and then maybe you will win a lot one day, because the probability is small but but not zero. |

I understand. I too think this way sometimes. But it's not a scientific way of thinking, right? Whether we lose or win doesn't depend on what happened to us before. We can win right away after a big win, and we can lose and lose again after a long losing streak.
But of course you are right, reckless gambling doesn't' necessarily start after a win round.
The factor of your old loss will not affect your current win or Los.But logically,if the gambler had started to learn from all the old loss,the old loss may indirectly cause for the new win. When the gambler learn from the gambling,he should take a short note on the winning methods.Some gambler will lose the entire winning money by this way.After making the big win,they never worry about the loss in the gambling.This feeling will be survive to the gamblers till losing the entire winning money.After the winning money,the first dollar itself make the gambler to worry about the loss.This only recover after the next big win. It doesn't apply to purely luck-based games like slots, dice and the likes. When you start taking notes on "the winning methods" in those games, you are doomed. Your winning and losing totally depends on luck. If you repeat your "winning pattern" next time, you can lose big because of the relying on it too much. To poker, on the other hand, it applies absolutely. You will not be winning all the time because a lot depends on luck in poker too, but it is very helpful in general. |

There is an AI that beats a Poker professional player. On a live game. What do you mean it requires ten hours? What kind of things does the AI/program/algorithm study? The gameplay strategy or the opponent plays? More importantly, what is the name of the AI/program (machine) that you know of? Here are the things. There is an AI that has been developed which able to beat a professional player in a live game. I have said it many times. For example, Pluribus (no-limit Texas hold 'em)and DeepStack (Heads-Up No-Limit Poker). Furthermore, there is also Libratus. Yes, I'm aware of the existence of the machines you've mentioned, Pluribus, DeepStack, Libratus. But from what I know, they can't start beating anyone right away. They need to study the opponent plays for hours before they can start beating the professionals. And even theoretically I can't imagine how it can be otherwise. Do you have any link link proving your point? |

Firstly, USD and the global economy won't crash. Only gullible people think of such doomsday scenarios. Secondly, BTC won't magically rise to a million bucks in such a situation logically speaking.
I might disagree on this one, USD is crashing in such a way that they are controlling everything not to make it totally happen. Global economy heavily rely on US we all know that, though there are countries that might survive if it falls but generally speaking we are all connected to USD. But I agree with the 2nd sentence of yours, BTC won't 'magically' be a million dollar asset *1BTC* but with crypto sky is the limit. I'm not saying that it could be a million dollar asset, but it already happened, just think the growth of BTC compare to its early days, it's been a million times, million percentages. I'm not a BTC guy but respect on this coin who opened this industry. ~ I think it's important to keep in mind that "a million dollar for 1 BTC" means nothing without knowing how much you can buy with that $1 million at the time. If we are talking about the "rise and rise of Bitcoin" we mean that the "rise" isn't happening because other currencies, fiat currencies, lost lost their purchasing power and being stable Bitcoin is "rising" relative to these currencies. We mean that purchasing power of Bitcoin is rising, right? |

~ You can't make any conclusions from just hundreds or even thousands of bets. You need tens of millions for that.
Well you only really need the underlying math for calculating the probabilities, you really don't even need a single instance of the experiment being done to know the odds. Of course if you want to see the odds in the real world, yes, you need lots and lots of data. That's what I'm trying to say. You can calculate the theoretical probabilities without resorting to any tests, but if you want to check how does a particular slot work in reality, you need to make simulations at least, and that's where you simulate millions of rolls, or your data will be unreliable otherwise. |

Of course not. Only about 5% of gamblers(it's 2% to 8%, depending on the area) are problem gamblers. Most people just gamble like you said, an hour or two per week, and some of them just buying lotteries once per month and that's their gambling. Positive effects you ask? Lots of them. I wouldn't say I'm in big profit from my gambling for 10 years almost, but that's money-wise. I had dozens of hours of good time, that's for sure. If I lose $30 in a week, but then another week I win $30 with betting just 10 cents, I feel good, right? No money won, but I feel good. I like how simple you think and that's actually true. Whenever we won something against the house it's almost like an achievement because not too many gamblers will experience the same. For me, I have already withdrawn money out of a gambling site for like 5 times at $20 to $50 but it took me so long before I could make that. I dont bet much, I just like the fun of the game and I think thats where I feel really blessed when I saw my balance increasing slowly until I reach a good amount that is able to be withdrawn. I think what I have learned the most is being patient about it. I dont trt to double my bet even if I feel a losing streak is happening. I dont try to be greedy and change my plan midway just to chase the losses. I stay with one amount and try to wait for another lucky roll. Good. I can't say that I myself always succeed in that, although theoretically I know it's the right way to act. Sometimes I do chase my losses and lose even more because of that. The good thing is that happens rarely, once in two or three months I can lose $20-$30 in one day and it's much more than I can afford to lose, but rarely is the key here. ~
~ Of course there are people who there are weeks or even a month where they cannot play, as it has happened to me because in particular it has happened to me that I have had to stop playing for a while to be able to fulfill my duties and for me first is my family and my obligations as a father, as head of the family, as long as they are well, well I think that after all that I give way to my fun, in the meantime no, because that would be completely irresponsible. Great. You can be called a responsible gambler, imo, if you put your family first. That's how it should be. |

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! |

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. |

I absolutely agree with you. If we manage to predict the outcome it makes us feel good, and that's why we are making our predictions. The money we win with the right prediction is not big, because if you don't want to risk big amounts, you never win big amounts either. It can be something around $10, not a life changing amount, but it's a day changing amount for sure. You feel good that day and that's what counts. Indeed, as you said, "if you follow other people's bets then where's the fun in that?".
A lot of people aim to make money - hence following people's bets has even become a business where people sell betting tips on sports. On a side note - I agree with you on the point of gambling the amount that would brighten your day and not cause a sharp pain upon loss. That to me is what I would define as "recreational" gambling. I saw them selling, but never saw someone's buying. Did you? Or, maybe you bought a sports betting tip yourself once? How it went? And yes, I'm all for the recreational gambling. You can turn your a job into fun, but don't turn fun into job. Anyway, fearing of sharing your bets with others is weird indeed. It has something to do with superstitions, I think. |

I rolled already 16297 times on the free roll and never won anything higher than a 9993, I think I hit that a couple of times already. As you say, it is all about luck and if you just keep spinning, one day you might get lucky! Looks like you are there longer than me.  With my 13,233 freerolls played I expect the jackpot, $200, soon. Of course I know it's not guaranteed. From my experience with dice I know it can take 50k rolls for that, and even then it's not guaranteed, but only likely. We will keep rolling with the hopes that we will strike it lucky one day. And, of course, post about it in this thread. Then besides ourselves we'll others happy too. |

you are going to win.  Absolutely. That's the spirit we should have here. To be born is a big win already. They say, it's 1 in 400 trillion chance. So, we can expect to win with any odds. Unfortunately, my internet connection has trouble. Until now, sometimes it gets slower. I already phoned my ISP and they only said we apologize for your inconvenience. Please be patient and wait until it is fixed.
But in my last game, I did not win and only lost some money. After it is finished, I will try to see my luck. I hope it will change soon and get my wins. Your troubles with internet will be solved soon. I'm not a fortune teller, but some things are easy to predict. May luck be with you next time! |

Maybe in the future we will see AI and human interact together for the betterment of the world. But as far as sports predictions, as this point I highly doubt that they can predict the outcome as humans do as there are a lot of parameters to look.
~
But isn't it easier for AI to look at a lot of parameters? Machines have been doing it for many years, analyzing better than humans something with a lot of parameters. I agree that at this point we don't have such an AI or we don't know how to properly prompt it. But I'm sure, in the future using AI to predict outcomes with a good accuracy will be possible. |

Thank you Op for sharing very interesting tips with users on the forum to avoid losing streaks or bad luck when playing slots. I hope these tips are also useful for those of you who keep on losing streaks. The first thing you need to do is allocate funds every time you want to play slots to minimize bigger losses. Luck in slot gambling doesn't come all the time, there are certain times when a slot machine turns into a very scary machine that can drain all your money. When you are in this situation, you need awareness to immediately stop and then come back again on a different day.
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. |

I don't know the person that founded Stake and created it. But I can only guess it was a person that always in his live wanted money, fast cars, luxury life... and for him it's worth it, to steal from honest customers on his way to the top! That's up to him, but one day all this will come to an end, mark my words my forum friends.
KARMA .......... KARMA .......... KARMA ..........

What kind of garbage is that? Do you have proofs or you're just one of those unfortunate gambling addicts that refuses professional help? Stake is a solid site. Millions of people know it, and I can confirm it from my own experience. You believe in Karma, huh? The maybe don't spread false accusations. I mean, just in case. |

I`m sure that gambling can be a major income - i know several men, who have no any income except bets. But the same time i`m sure that not lots of people possible to make the same. It's interesting. Are they making sports bets or playing poker? Because I don't think it's possible to make a living through anything else in gambling. I talked about sport bets. But when you said about poker i remembered one familiar person who teached me to play poker. It was about 10-12 years ago and i don`t know how it is today but that time he got big money from online poker. How is he doing today? I mean, poker depends a lot on skills but luck is still involved. Liv Boeree set a good example. She has amassed around $4 million in live tournament earnings during her poker career, but today she is referred to as a "former professional poker player". She started playing poker in 2005 and she decided to drop it in late 2019. I think it was a smart move. She didn't give Luck a chance to rob her of her winnings. |

And this is once again an example of short term thinking, if we are lucky enough to obtain important profits out of gambling then it would be a mistake to spend them all on things that we want, a part of that money should also go towards a business which can generate even more profits or it should become an investment that can eventually bring you even more money down the line, but after such a big win people are not thinking clearly and they seem to think their good luck will last forever. By having thoughts like that, at least we already plan to use the money we will win from gambling. Starting a business will provide more money. Perhaps we won't need to gamble because there is already a source of income we can rely on, especially if we think about having an investment, which is a bitcoin investment, that will give us the opportunity to gain profits in the future so that we can have other sources of income from investing in bitcoin. But gambling shouldn't be a source of income for us. It's very important to keep that in mind. If you have spare money, you can gamble for the sake of entertainment. If you don't have enough money, do not resort to gambling to increase the amount of money. It's like a rule, a rule that you might really regret breaking. |
