1081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title on: August 11, 2023, 08:46:43 PM
Anyway, I agree with your words that Inoue do truly have an advantage over Tapales and just like what happened to Inoue at 188, it seems to me as well that after he fought and defeated Fulton, I don't see anyone at 122 that can give Inoue a good fight and he might be an undisputed boxer again without trying his very hard to achieve it. Unless if Casimero will catch up because I definitely think that he is a much better fit compared to Tapales, no offense.

As far as I know, Angas ng Pinas is also in that Division.  The same thought as you, I believe that Casimer can give a better fight than Tapales and Casimero had been provoking Inoue to have a match after their failed match way back when there was a pandemic.  Fulton maybe the champion but there are also newcomers in that Division and one of them is Casimero.

Though I agree that Tapales is a heavy underdog if the match realizes, Tapales have two hands to punch too.  We never know until an upset happens and it often happens in boxing. We have seen too many of these upset wins to be recalled.


Yeah but we can only rely on upsets for so much. Just cause it happened way too often doesn't mean it will happen everytime. The fact of the matter is that Inoue could take punches as much as he could deal it, and if Tapales' only saving grace is a well-placed smack in the jaw, then I say he better practice and prepare for it cause no way Inoue's going to let him be that close to beating him. I wanted to see this fight through with enough action and all that but Tapales' is at a disadvantage in stats with a tactical advantage over Inoue. He has nothing to lose but so much to gain, the same can't be said for Inoue who had this undefeated record and is still in his prime. Hope both teams bring their A-Game to this fight.
I wont really say that Tapales isnt capable on doing such thing yet we cant really be able to see him on owning or holding those belts for nothing.If Casimero is much better than Tapales then he should really be the ones holding those belts in the first place. Checking out on this site https://www.boxingscene.com/rankings You would see that they are now on the same weight division which is on 122 or on superbantam weight.
I dont know on what are the exact reasons why this fight hadnt been able to push through or it could really be able to happen but of course Inoue would really be focusing on getting those belts of Tapales
to be an another undisputed champion on this current division. Dont know on why Inoue is really that trying out to avoid or not really that interested at all.
Don't get me wrong I know for sure that Tapales' got something to prove, he won those belts for a reason as you have said. But judging by how Inoue's not showing any signs of stopping, with a tank of a body and a ballistic missile of a fist all I'm saying is that Tapales is going to have a really hard time pinning the Japanese down, at least based on the comment of the person before me talking about how Tapales' only saving grace is a hail mary punch, which I doubt but it makes sense when you think about it. Add to this the fact that Tapales' camp already said they weren't confident about winning this match and we have a game where the challenger is at his full capacity and the champion is going to do nothing but stall the fight for as long as he could.

So why don´t we see, at least alternative media, with an other type of advertisement and inform the public about crypto.

If I may ask what alternative source of media publicity are you talking about.  So far the social media, television and radio aspects of advertising have been consistently on in promoting Bitcoin and Crypto world wide. Crypto has a wide range of coverage globally only what is left now is adoption and integration and that has to do with the government policies Governing  each country to be favourable for smooth adoption process for Bitcoin and Crypto at large.
He's basically seeing Cryptocurrencies and projects that dabble into it, gambling or not as some form of affiliate/collaboration program where he can partner up with for money and clicks. I think it's good and all that since collaboration has its benefits but in my opinion, you wouldn't make it out alive in the cryptocurrency world if all you want is a way to express your brand, even if you want to do it while elevating cryptocurrency's name. Gone are the days when people see bitcoin and crypto as spawns of satan. If you ask someone who's at least aware of what bitcoin and crypto is if they want to pocket one they'd say yes in a heartbeat. Which is more than enough reason for crypto to not need anymore advertisement of sorts.
1083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Technology is Changing Sports Betting on: August 11, 2023, 08:07:44 PM
Sports betting AI

We add a question mark to number two. Eventually, AI will get so advanced that an artificial intelligence program should allow sports bettors to quickly identify bets with the highest probabilities of scoring wins.

Ah, but what’s good for the sports bettor is good for the sportsbook. Sportsbooks won’t ever shut down wagers on AI driven bets one-hundred percent, but they may request a larger vig, more juice, to place bets on AI driven options.

So AI driven options may present a double-edged sword. All advancements in all technology isn’t always the best thing. Sharpening your handicapping skills will always be the best option to finding winning wagers because AI will never develop sports betting intuition.

Advancements in sports betting acceptance

Acceptance isn’t exactly a technological advancement. But it qualifies for this list because it’s a major advancement in online sports betting.

U.S.-based organizations like DraftKings and BetMGM have opened the door for sports betting as a viable, accepted, form of entertainment. However, organizations like DraftKings and BetMGM are running traditional operations, meaning they are as centralized as a brick and mortar Vegas sportsbook.

To get true decentralization, to have the power of a sports handicapper in your hands, you must use a bitcoin and blockchain sportsbook.


I was just wondering how cool it would be when an AI would do the data analysis work. Imagine it analyzing the data and picking up the best odd for a bettor. There is a possibility that an AI could outrun a human being in those spaces and they might excel in it. But, we cannot ignore the fact that a sportsbook won't work on improving their side. Eventually, they would catch up pretty quickly and would limit a bettor's profit from an AI. Do not forget they are once who are known to adopt new and innovative technology first than any other industry. So to an extent AI betting would help the bettor but it wont last in the long run.
It would be cool. But judging how complex a simple game of football is in variation and probability, predicting a game's outcome through AI will take lightyears of paperwork before you even come up with a workable algorithm. While the process of winning in a football match is linear, the process of getting into it is what makes it a little complex. Same goes with any form of team sport with a point system, and casual individual sports with points basis as well. Determining who's got more chances of winning is a little difficult for AI to do so. We could make these predictions since not only do we use a crude form of prediction which doesn't really get anywhere, we're at the same time able to process these eventualities and account for them with pinpoint accuracy.

I told them yesterday on telegram group, for the person who is victims or at-least has a balance left on (Betnomi) to create a flag/scam assumption on the bitcointalk. The message is getting deleted, and my account getting banned.
So this is a clear evidence there are moderators or owner in that telegram group.
There is no reasonable explanation why would they delete your message and ban you without any explanation, but I think they want to to make group more dead than it really is.
It is only a matter of time when more people will come to bitcointalk forum and open scam accusation against them.
Well there is a reasonable explanation, and of course there will be moderators in that telegram channel, otherwise that channel would've been a massive cesspool of scams and all that from the get-go. Although this banning and deleting of messages is either damage control to make it seem as though they are still operational and lure in more people/investors that they'd dip out of in the future, or they are outright doing something, but I'm leaning towards the first one cause it's been a whole month now and no matter what you tell me creating a working website shouldn't take that long, and even if it did the least you could do is to remain communicative to your users all throughout the journey so they don't think you're scamming them. Seeing as they never did both it's safe to assume they're trying to one up on the people.
1085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anonymity is no longer a benefit of gambling with cryptocurrency. on: August 10, 2023, 10:59:24 PM
I totally disagree on the use of KYC to counter money launderer since it’s useless in crypto because everything is decentralized and it’s very hard to spot user that laundering money and differentiates it to the normal player.

I think with the KYC on some crypto-centralised platforms like exchanges or casinos, money looting or ill-gotten gains with money can still be detected, but that's when the wallet that holds the coin has been flagged, and if it's been flagged, the centralised platform to which that coin is being deposited can freeze your asset. Depending on whether they are aware that the sender's wallet is flagged or if it's a casino that you deposited to and you also pass KYC with them, they can hand over your personal details to the investigation team that is involved, and the victim can be traced and get caught. Unless it's a crypto casino that doesn't require KYC, even if they don't require KYC but get notified that a deposit has entered their platform from a flagged wallet, if they fail to comply, the casino can still get charged by the government.
That's basically the logic behind the implementation of KYC protocols, to deter money launderers, scammers, and every form of malicious actors from using the casino as a way for them to store their ill-gotten funds without getting caught. Virtually everywhere in the cryptocurrency world you can keep your money without getting caught if you're a scammer, but if you want to use it in real life you'd have to run it through an exchange, or convert it to fiat through online casinos, good thing that most of them do these since at the end of the day it stops these people from being able to get a hold of their funds outright. And while it's a flawed system that needs some form of improvement to make sure that it doesn't inconvenience anyone but those that need to be inconvenienced, it's a much needed one.
1086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: August 10, 2023, 10:39:33 PM
^^
Unfortunately, most people don't think this way. Most of the gamblers I know, started gambling because they had a conviction that gambling is the quickest and easiest way to make money, and why not a fortune. Most of them, if not all of them, ended up being broke.
The worrying part is that they knew how casinos work and that the odds are against them but, still, they decided to take the risk. It seems that greed takes the best of us especially when we are desperate.
Rookie mistake basically. And it's not really their fault cause for the most part, advertisements and campaigns made by some casinos exploit the bias that "casinos can give you quick money" which is far from the truth. Ending is they lose their money out, they become addicted since they wanted and they need to chase that lost money back otherwise they'd feel like a total failure, only for the whole cycle to repeat over and over until the person shoots himself in the foot one way or another. The only surefire way to avoid this is to actually stop thinking of gambling as a way to earn money, rather as a way to entertain one's self from time to time (not everyday) and only by then would you find inner peace, might even save yourself from the trouble of succumbing to gambling addiction too!
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Collective bets in local lotteries on: August 10, 2023, 10:14:00 PM
Would like to know your takes on betting as a group to raise chances in local
Lotteries

I know that mathematically the chances are still really low even if you multiply it 100x but in Brazil at least we’ve seen some local lottery prizes given for small groups of 20 or 30 people betting betting with 5000x tickets let’s say

If dreaming alone is cool dreaming in groups can be even better
Never have known this but I think even with 30 or more the chances will still not be that great and this could just lead to more conflict of things. Having 5000x tickets is really a huge deal for one but as Casdinyard is saying having that Jerry and Marge Go Large debut is not sustainable unless you're really that genius. I don't know if there's a group that doing this but mostly will fail in the long term, it's only good when starting, the hype and hope is present.
It's not about being genius though, it's all about having enough money around the group to work around, plus the fact that the thing they did in the movie only worked cause there's a flaw in the lottery system that made it so people who buy more tickets get higher chances of winning the prize pot. That couldn't be the case now especially for certain types of lottery that took this into account. If you want to earn money as a community the best way you could actually do that is by employing cooperative methods lol, like a lending business, grocery and stuff like that, where the profit is shared between stakeholders. I've seen this work so well on some communities and cities, so it's something that is feasible give that you have to put the mind and the effort into it however, but honestly between that and pushing your luck for a lottery you can't even guarantee a win, I'd take the surefire way any day.

Dice happens to be my luck charm game, i have been lucky with dice a couple of times before but that was before I started losing rapidly and that situation made me to have a rethink and I decided to give it a break for a while.
I haven't tried slot before but I believe both dice and slot oar e the same category since they are both luck base games but at the same time, it requires skills to aid the winning in some cases, but then in your own case, you were so lucky to have won such amount in your first attempt and that shows that indeed you get some luck working for you that day to have made such an incredible amount in winning.
Dice is many people's lucky charm game. The variables are little since you only get up to three dice, while in other games of chance you literally play against all odds. That being said it doesn't make winning in it any easier, as I've lost quite the money in dice games as well. Slots are in the same boat as dice but at the same time it's harder to win in it cause you play against a lot of variables. And there are mechanics to winning it too wherein in dice, all you really have to think about it betting on the right denomination and you bag the win. And as I said earlier, it's relatively easy to win on dice compared to slots, since fewer variables determine the outcome of every roll. Still, I find people losing money over it for some reason, which I don't really understand.

I think it comes natural when you've basically lived your whole life thinking that this is all there is to it, that you'd remain a regular wage employee and you'd have to make ends meet if you want to get the nicer things in life. And then you get hit with the reality of the situation, the desirable reality that all you really need is a good break and you're already set for success. I've felt that too when I got my first massive earning in cryptocurrency. I adjusted quickly but at the same time the identity crisis lingered with me for a good while as I try to make sense of why I think I deserve to earn this much money in a week. It's really common is what I mean to say, it just hits you harder the more money you have looking in front of you.
You would totally find yourself lost in track on what are the things that should supposed to be done or those typical things that you've been doing specially on the time that you do able to experience huge profits or wins then

you would be basically be buying all sorts of things that you do want and would really be having that limitation in hanging out with your friends or would really be that more secretive even with your own family.
The main thing that you would be having in mind is on how to keep those money in safe and would really be away on other peoples awareness specially if this is an amount that you havent experience on holding on your entire life on which you would really be having that kind of boost of emotions that you could buy everything that you do currently have now.  Grin

On the time that you would be experiencing that deplete of money and cant be able to catch up on making it grow or making some profits then this is where you would be starting on panic
because you dont like on getting into the situation on where you are before.This is where new problem would exist or would really happen.
It's not just about that really, cause for all we care when we have the money we definitely know how to spend it. But in my personal case the one I got most troubled with is the fear that perhaps I'm not cut for it, and I only got lucky this time so if I fuck up and fail I won't be able to get back up again. Funnily enough this was disproven back in 2020, literally fell and lost everything in 2019, until the bull run came and helped me get back up my feet. In my opinion the stress this induces is what causes you to relish on these thoughts even more, the fear that you might lose your money one day, the fear that your friends are only there cause you can take me to dinners and drinkouts, the fear that your spouse may have been lying to you about her sincerity cause at the end of the day, you had the money already.

Dana is also behind the hype of this as he had been setting up the two yet he can't give a final date of when the battle will be.
But in an interview no one is ducking anyone and he got a point when he says the two are not professional fights for a living.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boRl-jOJ9IM&t=362s

I still think this is not happening because of Dana's response. If he had been talking to both of these billionaires and still are unsure of the dates then its the billionaires is the one playing Dana.
Yeah, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg are one of the most powerful people in our world right now and it is still their decision if they will get along with the hype of Dana created. Both of them are had their own footage of doing MMA trainings and both of them are trained or guided by professional MMA fighter. There's still a chance that they will both fight and honestly I'm rooting for them to fight. I'm speculating that if the fight happens, the losing player will either X(twitter) or facbook stocks will be affected by the outcome.

I can only assume Zucker vs Musk fight will happen in the metaverse since later in this interview, you will learn that UFC and meta ventured into the metaverse. I guess only their avatars will fight in the Metaverse. Nothing serious about this especially because they are not really into combat sports.

In the Metaverse, anything can happen. Everyone onboard in meta can have their own avatar created by AI and can do all sorts of sports. Thats where we are heading I guess yet we still can bet.

A unique take but one that will cost them a lot if they followed through with this. Not only are people anticipating a full on knuckles-to-face fight between the two of them, you also have to consider the fact that Metaverse isn't the most accepted Web3.0 concept as of the moment. So people will see this as these people bullshitting on everyone and making them wait for nothing. All of those preparations for nothing? Elon even got his shoulder blasted for some reason cause he's trying to look tough on the camera by carrying a dumbbell during a zoom meeting! All of these exposure, powerplays and stuff is made to build that fight up, if they chickened out and decided that they'd do it in a metaverse they might as well just have said that they'd fight using Street Fighter 6 lol.

I would say that this is a common business practice among A-list casinos like stake, but at the same time it doesn't really justify the fact that you were inconvenienced by the lengthy KYC process you had to undergo, which is something that all stake users experience by the way, just at different points in our gambling journey. With that being said, I would've suggested you take these documents you took a picture of, and sent them to customer service so they could help you with the KYC process, personally never did this but at this point in time you're basically left with little options anyway, and then followed any form of instructions that they may put out for you. At the end of the day it's something that we all go through as gamblers for Stake, it just happens on random for some reason, and while it's not allowed, it's still at the same time within the law.
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's safe to say - gambling is a guy thing. on: August 09, 2023, 10:55:04 PM
Gambling used to be a predominantly guy thing, though at recent times, I'm seeing more and more girls also engaging into gambling activities.
I believe gambling will always be dominated by men (whether in the past, now, or in the future).
Gambling is surely made not only for men, but it is basically more suitable for men than women. That's why we call it as a 'men stuff'. Even there are more women to join gambling, they are unlikely to dominate it. Most women prefer to avoid too risky stuff, only men who like the risky stuff. And only a few women think gambling is a fun stuff, most of them probably feel not happy since they hate to lose money.  Grin

Since the history of gambling, there's never been a time that it was dominated by women and I believe it was first introduced by men (Chinese men) if I'm not mistaken and it fact that it is dominated by men would male it easier for men to be introduced into it, men love taking risk even if it involves losing money and that's one thing a woman can't tolerate,a good number of wives would not mind staking their money on something that involves high risk and could be lost easily but would rather support their husband that's successful and made lots of profits from it.
 I've come across a thread that talked about people especially men using gamble as a form of entertainment or to ease stress during their leisures and that's one thing most women won't do, they'll rather focus on other entertainment areas or go on picnic or clubbing with their men for fun, and I've also noticed that a good number of women that were introduced into gambling got introduced by male friends or colleagues
Historically speaking yes, Men have dominated this space. But that doesn't mean that girls couldn't get addicted to it too. And you're right about women having more avenues to look for when it comes to relaxation and unwinding compared to men who has a higher propensity to gamble than to do something productive lol. Anywho, I think the competitive edge that male gamblers have over themselves plays a crucial role at this as well. For the most part, male gamblers are prone to ending the gambling session on a win, which makes them lose more in the process. I don't think women are susceptible to this but I've seen gambling addicts that are women, hell just look at the Vegas slot area and you'll find middle-aged women that are almost at the point of zombification with how invested they are in their games.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🔻 List of Casinos and Sportbooks to Avoid on: August 09, 2023, 10:24:14 PM
Hey everyone! It would be great if we could get more specific insights on why MegaPari made the list. If you follow the ANN thread, you'll see that we've received pretty positive reviews from forum members. Plus, there was a review campaign with clear reviews of the platform. If you've personally had any issues while using the platform, we're here to help you out anytime. Also, the statement about 1xbet seems a questionable as it includes uncertain stats. MegaPari is actually an independent team that operates on its own platform and with its own team of professionals. The design might look similar to some projects, but that's pretty much where the resemblance stops. If you've been following some cases that you personally consider scams, I've explained all the scam accusations that have appeared on the forum. Usually, these users were restricted due to arbitrage gambling, multi-accounting, etc.
Hi there team MegaPari and thank you checking out my topic.
I wrote most of the things I didnt like about MegaPari in my campaign review that was posted on your thread, and I was overall not very happy with my experience.
This is nothing personal and I hope you can correct some of the things I wrote about, but I never said you are a scam, just that you have a lot of connections with other casinos.
If I notice that you changed, corrected mistakes and improved after I revisit website again there is a chance I can remove Megapari for my list or move it to my grey list.
But dont worry about it to much, this is just my personal list that was released in public, some people dont agree with me.  Wink
 
While I think being opinionated is fine and all that, and I know this is your list so you have full agency for this, please keep in mind that "agreed or not", it's best to be aware that your list if anything would be used by people in this forum who's not that much aware of how the whole casino thing works. So best believe that some of these people will take your word at face value and dodge these casinos outright. I wouldn't so hasty about posting MegaPari on your list of casinos to avoid if all you ever had with them is undesirable experience cause that one can be improved upon, perhaps on a slightly more tame list like "lists of casinos I've had undesirable experiences with" so people know that they are to be avoided not because of any scam related issue or whatnot, but only cause your experience with them, which I might add is an isolated case, is a little suboptimal.
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 09, 2023, 09:47:26 PM
Well most violence that has been seen in the gambling world can be traced to either using borrowed money to place bets or by not paying up a loss bet. I think just like it's not advice to use borrowed Money to Invest in Crypto-currency, so it is not wise to use borrowed money to gamble.

I personally see gambling as fun in as much as money is involved I try to gamble responsibly that way you would be able to avoid Lossing more than you can bear or getting into violence in the process.
Exactly. Either through people taking loans from tigers or sharks or whatever the hell they're called for nowadays, which is the worst thing you could do for yourself. And although I must say you're thinking rather radical, this is something that happens on the daily everywhere and if you could inform someone to stop them from doing so at the very least then that's one person saved. Anyhow, I think OP's looking to take a loan from someone that's legit and trusted, which doesn't make it any better cause at the end of the day you're literally asking for money so you can fund your vices and as I said in my previous post, that's one good way to shoot yourself in the foot.

At the end of the day, it's all about control, not the lack of money. If you don't have enough money to fund your gambling vices in the first place, don't subject yourself to bigger problems by taking up a loan.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ADVICE]Boy Wins $46k from Sports Bet but Can't Tell Strict Religious Parents... on: August 09, 2023, 09:35:45 PM
If the boy cared about his parents and didn't want to upset him because of his juvenile delinquency, then he should never have gambled. OK gambling is great for fun, but if you do win a lot of "tens of thousands of dollars" one day, then you shouldn't owe anyone for advice on how you should spend it.

Have fun, throw a party or have a great vacation to several countries and those are just the options that might be worth thinking about. While the boy can also spend it on something that is beneficial to him even though it is not for food costs, but for example something else.
yeah but at the same time I'm thinking he doesn't want that cause that's one good way to burn your whole winnings away. I'm thinking he's looking for a way to break the news to his parents or something along those lines without them going ballistic on him which is borderline impossible. That's why I said the same thing, I would rather keep it to myself and build up on that lie than to let all hell break lose and cause more trouble than what was intended. If he doesn't want them getting all suspicious since it's almost always certain that someone his age would slip up signs here and there that they got good money now, put all your winnings into an investment portfolio and have him tell them that he got all that money through that. Not only is he going to be saved from the years of berating coming from religious parents, he's also probably going to be bragged about in thanksgiving dinners so it's a win-win.

I know this is completely against my previous comment about "anti-gambling parents being against trading and investing too" but who knows, OP's parents might be just strictly against gambling after all and are open with stuff like these.
1097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots fever on: August 09, 2023, 08:27:01 PM
I always played on slots with RTP so at the very least I don't get zeroed out when I play. Although eventually especially if you're a gambler who likes to consecutively place bets or play games, it's no surprise you're going to lose all your bankroll. It's all about proper bankroll management as well as a set mindset of what you wanna do in that particular gambling session. I find that if I just gamble without a clear goal in mind, like at the very least getting at least 3 massive wins or something along those lines, I wander and gamble aimlessly which leads me to spend more than what I know I need to. Ending with me losing more than just my bankroll in the process. Slots are really addicting in my opinion so if you don't control yourself, you'd find that you're going to lose more than what you've earned in the game.

While you could be right, I say reckless gambling really starts after that first 2 losses. People can easily just dip and take their cuts after the first win, I do that all the time and yet there are instances when I let my greed get the better of me and I continue gambling away since I don't mind losing the bankroll anyway. Losing 2 games in a row however is more mentally pressuring since you've already lost a considerable amount of money by then, one that you couldn't recover outright in a single win. So people tend to go ham during these situations and actually push through instead of cutting their losses and stopping from there, which as we all expect leads to them losing more money than they know how to work with.

First off, let me just start this with an "I told you so". It's been established since time immemorial that you shouldn't use gambling site accounts as a repository for your funds, even if you're a high roller. Secondly, why would you not read the instructions/terms before logging in? It's been established that you'd have to undergo some form of KYC first and foremost before you deposit anything just to make sure that your funds won't get locked out.

Best thing to do right now is to actually just wait for them to resolve your issue, not sure if they have a dedicated thread in this forum that you can go to to make them aware of your issue, but for now, remember the above pointers and never gamble belligerently again.

I would say that my friends and peers had an effect in my gambling habit now, but I wouldn't so much as call it peer pressure as they didn't force me into it, only ever informing me that if I wanted to join them, they had this stuff/mini competition that I can be a part of. I figured that since it's the pandemic and people are literally dying just by going outside and I'm bored as balls I could use some human interaction. Things took off from there and now I embraced gambling as part of my life but not so much as a routine.

I know some people out here are forced by the people around them to gamble as they do, to which I say you should find new friends. Peers shouldn't coerce you into things you're not comfortable of doing and you know that.
