Casino business always have funds to start the business and enough money to pay winners, it still won't affect the business because big winners don't always pop up every time, it takes a lot of luck and grace to win billions of dollars, some only make thousands and many more will lose thousands per day, this business is something that can't go bankrupt that easily unless it's mismanaged by the people in charge.
Before the big winner appeared, the casino had made a big profit from many gamblers who had lost, either big or small.
And even though a few more people will win the game later, the casino can still pay out the winnings while benefiting from other losing gamblers.
In gambling, there will be more losing gamblers than winning gamblers so the casino's total profits will be greater than its losses.
But maybe some casinos can experience losses and cannot pay the winnings and if this happens, the casino must have the courage to be honest with its members because that is what really happens in their casino.
1062  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My step to promote bitcoin on: January 28, 2023, 03:35:01 AM
This idea is different from the ones we've seen before, and it's another way to introduce bitcoin to people around where the @OP lives.
But there is a next question for me what will @OP do after this?
What if the people who got the stickers wanted a more detailed explanation of bitcoin?
@ OP needs to think of another way so people don't think it only works for some people so they can start looking for more valid information and join using bitcoin.
By promoting by distributing or sticking stickers that say Bitcoin is the first way to make the public curious so that further questions will arise starting from what Bitcoin is, how the benefits and disadvantages are.
Here we need more insight and knowledge and experience to explain in detail. In this context what we need is a delivery method that can get people interested.

What I worry about with such methods is that people's paradigm arises that these efforts are a mode of fraud instead of not happening. I think you're right that OP needs to make a sustained effort after this promotional effort has caught people's attention.
If people can find a trusted source to learn more about bitcoin, they are lucky because most people can make mistakes when learning bitcoin, so they can't get the benefits like others.
And even though they can use the internet properly and correctly, that doesn't mean they can find a good place to study.
This is why there needs to be ongoing action from @OP to invite them to study together to gain knowledge from people who know about bitcoin.
Maybe, in this case, @OP can find other people who are more skilled in explaining it so that people who want to learn can get explanations from people who know about bitcoin.

This idea is different from the ones we've seen before, and it's another way to introduce bitcoin to people around where the @OP lives.
But there is a next question for me what will @OP do after this?
What if the people who got the stickers wanted a more detailed explanation of bitcoin?
@ OP needs to think of another way so people don't think it only works for some people so they can start looking for more valid information and join using bitcoin.

Nowadays, the internet is very developed, and everyone has a smartphone. If they want to know what bitcoin is, just search them on social media. Our job is to let people know bitcoin exists, what more could you want from the OP when he doesn't need any profit from what he did? We just need to give the idea and they can grasp it or not, it's up to them, don't ask for too much.
I do not recommend looking for information about bitcoin from social media because social media has now changed its function and is not a place to spread true information, but much of that information is wrong.
As ordinary people, they will believe what they read on the internet and will not look for more info and that's what causes a lot of people to get the wrong info about bitcoin.
On social media, their focus may shift from wanting to find out about bitcoin but instead, they will be interested in investing in projects that offer large returns in a short time.
That's why I said there should be an effort to inform or invite them to learn more about bitcoin.

1064  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: shiba inu coin, now ranked 13th in cmc on: January 27, 2023, 07:23:59 AM
I don't see so much potential for this coin. First, it is just a meme coin. Second, it is nothing but an imitation. Third, it is thriving on hype. But I'm not saying you cannot earn from the opportunities this coin is giving. But you need to remember that it has already multiplied many times. It has already risen through the ranks. What will happen when the hype of this meme coin is over? Take note that top altcoins come and go. One day, this will also be forgotten. So make everything short-term when dealing with Shiba Inu.

It is all that negative things you said about it, yet it is still doing well in the market. You have to stop hating on it. Investors are making money of it or have you seen anyone complaining that they got wrecked from Shiba? When you compare it to other altcoins will you still say it has not performed well? Look at where it is today on the list at number 15 top coins in the market and you still think it is a joke, a worthless coin?
Each person will have an assessment of all the coins on the market, including the assessment of the Shiba Inu.
Maybe it is true that there are still some whales who still buy Shiba because they believe that Shiba can repeat its previous glory.
But some people are not sure if Shiba can increase higher than the previous ATH.
What is clear is that before we decide, we better research first and gather more information about Shiba to make a good decision.

Yes, you do have a point there, but don't you think wouldn't that be risky? Knowing fully well that in as much as we have online casinos, some casinos restrict certain regions, and how sure are you Japan isn't restricted by most online casinos due to it's anti-gambling policy. As using VPN to create an account on any of those may end up causing yourself more harm than good (I.e when emergency arrives and there is need to verify KYC). But one thing  certain is that if "gambling" is banned in Japan, they most have a reason for it.
The risk is still there, whether we know it or not, but even if we play in online casinos while our country prohibits all forms of gambling, we can get into trouble later on, especially if our government investigates their citizens when they surf the internet.
And while we still want to gamble at online casinos using a VPN, it can still be against your country's regulations.
And we also don't know the real intention of the Japanese government in prohibiting certain types of gambling except for gambling games that the Japanese government permits.
Yes, I do not deny that the risk is not there, but it's more riskier in Japan than any other country, because gambling on any online casino while still on Japanese soil is considered as a big criminal offence, of which if you are found guilty for gambling, it's punishment according to the "Article 185 of the Penal Code" is that such individual shall be fine to pay a sum not more than ¥500,000, unless such gambling was made for the purpose of amusement. And the official age for gambling is given to be 20yrs and above, (i.e only on the regulated games by the Japanese Government)

That means if someone is gambling in an online casino and is caught by the Japanese government, they can immediately get into trouble and be found guilty.
Will the Japanese government block all online casinos on the internet if they implement this regulation?
Because that means they are really serious about not allowing gambling beyond what they have written so that no one will dare to try playing gambling at online casinos.
But I think underground casinos are still operating and controlled by a powerful group of people who may have connections to the Japanese government.
1067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big money bad for bitcoin in the long run on: January 26, 2023, 10:06:32 AM
If the market is going down and people are thinking about buying altcoins instead of buying bitcoins, they probably won't be as lucky if they buy bitcoin.
That is because after that market crash, the price of bitcoins will start to increase again and that's where people can see the amount of profit they will get.
The whales will also see it as an advantage they can use to buy bitcoins with their money.
For this reason, if you don't want to miss moments like that, you need to follow what the whales are doing so that you can have or add to the number of bitcoins you have.
But big money is not always good for the market because it could be that big money is a collection of many people trying to buy bitcoin at one or several bitcoin prices.

As far as I know Yakuza own underground casinos in Japan. Of course their casino offers a very narrow range of entertainment, but you have to remember that even if gambling is completely banned in your country you can play online casino.

If it were a slot game, it would be difficult for us to get a big win or even the jackpot. Many gamblers won't get it.
This type of slot game that depends on luck will eat up all your money unless you can control yourself and determine how much money you want to use for gambling.
And it is true that the longer we play slots, the bigger our losses can be, especially if we increase each bet for each round.
And even though we have been able to win large amounts of money, we are still losing money but don't realize it.
1070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UK fines online casino for only asking KYC from winning gamblers on: January 26, 2023, 03:33:17 AM
If we players can actually stay true to ourselves we'll understand that one of the only way the casino can stay in balance with regulatory bodies asking for KYC and gamblers not winning to do KYC and the casino wanting to stay in business is the fact that KYC should be with a triggered point and one of the points a KYC should be triggered is upon withdrawal but not just withdrawal but withdrawal above certain amount like $1k and any amount below such shouldn't have to trigger a KYC.
If gamblers could easily and willingly ready to do KYC, I wouldn't think there would have been any major issues with KYC and we should also understand that casinos is another man's business and being happy seeing them been fined over some irrelevant issues isn't fair.
It will depend on each gambler because many gamblers don't do KYC because they want to withdraw their winnings but the casino insists on asking the winner to do KYC.
And the casino is aware of this and does not try to apply KYC to the winner if the casino has limits on the amount of winning the money they can withdraw without having to do KYC.
But most casinos make that rule to the winners and it makes a lot of winners who have already won the game and want their winning money to be upset.
If there are such regulations in crypto casinos, surely the casinos will have to evaluate their regulations and may need to add other things related to regulations from those regulators.
1071  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | VIP | Instant withdrawals! on: January 26, 2023, 02:33:52 AM

Good to see Duelbits already list FIFA Club World Cup in their site, well there are a lot not really known teams, I think it's worth to bet on underdog since there's a good chance it can pull the upset. But if it's Real Madrid match, I don't want to take a risk to place a bet on the underdog because the popular team mostly will become a champion. Just like on 2016-2018 where Real Madrid win 3 streak in a row.

Lol there are indeed a lot of not known teams and I don't really like to bet on a team that I don't know. Why would the underdogs win against the favorites? Yes, we will have some upsets but I would look for some value bets instead.
If it's just for fun, it will be fine because sometimes we also want to bet on something unknown out of curiosity.
And if the statistics of the two teams are not too far apart and we have difficulty choosing the team, we could choose the underdog because sometimes the underdog can turn things around and in the end, they win.
I once casually chose a team from two teams that would compete and I didn't know either of them but I wanted to place a bet at that time and by chance, I won Grin
1072  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Start of a Bull Season on Bitcoin? Or a Trap? on: January 25, 2023, 11:47:07 AM
I don't think these New Year's positives are a trap, it's the natural driver of the bitcoin trend.  I'm not sure if the winter bear market will actually dissipate, that's just part of the optimism about the market's recovery.  Next time will prove it but clearly the market is not in the bull season yet
I also thought that, maybe it really was time for bitcoin to start increasing and finally to this point bitcoin has been above $20k.
This $22k figure is very good because bitcoin can already start to recover even though it will still be difficult to reach a bullish season and we don't know when.
But this gives us hope, especially new people who don't know about the bitcoin cycle or are confused about the price that hasn't started to rise high again.
And bitcoin is currently trying to come back on the defensive after a correction came into the market again.
1073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cheat the Lottery Winner on: January 25, 2023, 08:29:01 AM
The valuable lesson that can be learned from the story above is that if you want to remain anonymous for your lottery winnings, do it yourself, and don't entrust money-related matters to other people (even if that person is someone close to you)
You can stay anonymous if you're not the one who will personally claim the prize. The risk is, it's hard to trust someone (even your own family) when it comes to money because they can deceive you, just like what happened in this situation. So if you're too concern on your privacy then before you gamble, think of what casino is suited for you to remain anonymous even you happen to win a huge amount.
Well, maybe we just have to choose family members who are honest and can hold the trust we give them.
Beyond that, never give too much trust when it comes to money unless the people we choose really can keep the trust we give.
We can ask the casino to keep our identity as winners secret so we can take the winnings safely.
And the casino can do it for our own safety and they might even help security personnel escort us to our house or directly to the bank to deposit the winnings.
1074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Too accessible of online casino grows addiction faster? on: January 25, 2023, 05:17:25 AM
Your close relative is right in saying that online gambling can make a person addicted to gambling because I have experienced it Grin
The ease of internet connection that is available anywhere makes me want to play gambling even though it's in a public place.
But actually, playing gambling or not playing gambling will depend entirely on us and we should not use our cellphones or computers just to play gambling.
And this is what makes the level of gambling addiction high because easy access to the internet and the devices they use can help them to play gambling immediately.
1075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Common Online Gambling Fraud on: January 25, 2023, 03:48:01 AM
I have even noticed this sense that some of the gambling platforms fruad people with the name of owners are the which many people in this forum always fall into. So with the bonus some of the platform issues to people make many people to kill up in the platform and the deposit forms and the after deposition the platform can decide to have a server problem. And it will be the end of the platform
If that platform is really scamming people, then we should warn other people in this forum because we don't want to see many people having a bad experience playing in that scam casino.
And we have seen that even though many people complain about the casino, the casino also does not try to fix and solve the problems experienced by its members.
This is why we always warn them so that no one else will be affected by the deception, even though I doubt it can work successfully.
Most people out there play gambling based on what they find from search engines and immediately deposit money without looking for more information.
They are only interested in the big bonuses they can get but don't know that the casino is a scam.
1076  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: January 25, 2023, 02:40:30 AM
Low odds are never a sure way to winning and anytime we bet on them we should be settled with one fact that the bet can go against us even if the odds are low ot, not garranteeand should not be taken as a pointer to big winning so why should anyone want to risk such a huge amount on such bets.
The most important thing we have to know is that even if we use low or high odds, we still need luck and luck can't always come to us all the time.
If you are sure of your choice, let it run until it's finished so we can see the outcome.
But to bet in large amounts is very risky because the losses we will get will also be large.
It's better to bet using the money we can afford and not exceed the limit like that guy so we won't regret it if we lose.
That is a lesson for us to be able to manage money for gambling so that we can enjoy gambling properly.
It should be obvious that such a bet was made by a gambler with problems, because even if the probabilities of losing such bet were very low they were not zero, and taking such a risk with such a huge amount of money for such little gain makes no sense at all, I just hope the person who did this is doing fine as losing 1.4 millions in less than an hour and in that way should be incredibly hard, and it would not surprise me if such a person was undergoing some sort of depression.
I think he could get depressed after that big loss.
Obviously, this poses a huge risk for a gambler, even for people who have a lot of money, because after they lose, it will not be easy to recover from their losses again.
But maybe he's betting above the average of anyone who's played at the casino, especially since he's had it in less than an hour.
If I were that person, with that kind of money, I wouldn't spend it in one day but would use it for days, maybe up to several months Grin
1077  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Success in futures trading after long wait. on: January 24, 2023, 09:26:28 AM
this is the best thing that you work hard and do not loss hope. A person always get failure if he get disappointed after a single failure. You worked better and now recovering your losses but I think that future trading is risky and its not a good option to be involved to get benefit. May be someone get fruitful results but it's not for every individual. Now there seems to be up in market so everyone who hold some coin will undoubtedly get fruitful results in recent year.
We may feel disappointed with what we have got from trading but that should not stop our efforts so that we can benefit from trading.
By continuing to try to trade and learn to analyze better, one day the situation will change and we will be able to make a profit.
But when we can benefit, we must not feel arrogant because that can make us forget what we have experienced.
But to try trading in the future requires not only skill in analysis but precision for buying and selling orders and don't forget to set stop-losses to avoid big losses.
Futures trading is not easy, especially for people who are not used to trading.
1078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Online Casinos with Easy Verification on: January 24, 2023, 06:09:35 AM
It's great if you remove KYC verification because, for crypto gamblers, KYC is very unpleasant and they always want to avoid it.
But what if we win a lot of money and want to withdraw the winning money? Will you never ask us to do KYC?
And preferably, your casino has main coins in addition to having your casino token coins so that crypto gamblers can have alternative coins for depositing.
Before I forget, you should change the link above to
Code:
https://www.mcl-token.io/
because the link you provided becomes
Code:
ftp://https//www.mcl-token.io/
.
For the list of games, I think you can add other gambling games if you feel the need.

The team behind the online casino did not need to show the public that they did KYC.
And I'm not really interested in knowing who's behind the casino, either.
The most important thing for me is that the casino has a good reputation, is trusted, can serve all its members well, and always provides attractive bonuses.
Gamblers will also think like that because they are only interested in everything I mentioned earlier so they won't think much about who the team is behind the casino.
