Really nice to see a topic I created here amongst your collection of your best gambling topics @Pmalek. I never expected the discussion to get the attention that it got, but it was a discussion I started because I noticed that many of the discussions about gambling always portrayed it in a negative light.

As for the other threads and discussions, I enjoyed reviewing them and I really understand why they are your best gambling threads and discussions. If it was possible for everyone to make a topic and list out their best gambling threads and discussions as well, some of these threads and discussions will also be mentioned because they are really good topics.
1122  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Avoid Ponzi/Ponzi scheme is a scam on: May 06, 2023, 09:03:24 PM
some people who invested with site because of a skirt Maker who promoted the site and many people thought with the skirt Maker who is promoting the GMG website that the site will be legit.
So people invested in something they did not research about simply because a skit maker promoted it, very silly! the truth is they invested because of their greed in wanting to get rich quickly but are now blaming the skit maker who was simply doing a job he was paid to do for everything.

There have been more terrible Ponzi schemes that have been done in the past that many people fell victim for that should be enough to teach a lesson to not just the people who experienced it, but anyone who hears it. But as long as there is greed, there will always be people that will be victims of Ponzi schemes.
1123  Economy / Gambling / Re: Land base slot vs Online slot RTP on: May 06, 2023, 08:52:43 PM
Conclusion: Land based slot is only good to play if you only want to become entertained since their RTP and max payout is ridiculous. Online slot on the other hand offers high return since they have lesser operating cost and high payout is there main attraction. People should stop hitting the land based casino if there main purpose is hitting a jackpot because it’s really not worth it.
I can agree with what you have said about hitting Jackpot in Land Based Slot and online slots, but we need to add that this is the situation in recent time, and it has had to be so because of how much things have changed.

What I mean is this, before Online slots, people have won jackpots playing in Land based slots, and considering that the operational cost was not always as high as it is presently, we can assume that they offered better Jackpots.

Online slots also have had to increase its jackpot significantly higher than the Land based slots as a business strategy to gian attention from gamblers, it is also normal to reason that these jackpots may be reduced with time.

 Guys Share bets that disappointed you...
Disappointment is something that most gamblers are used to, and if it is not something you are used to as a gambler, you should prepare yourself. I have been disappointed many times gambling, but the most recent one I can recall is a recent sports game that Arsenal disappointed me a lot. The game that arsenal lost the lead they had to Westhampton was most disappointing recently. That game on bet for me was a straight win for Arsenal, we had the lead and it was supposed to end that way, but the game ended disappointingly in a draw.
1125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Experienced Winning Bets By Upsets on: May 05, 2023, 04:01:09 PM
Have you bet on the underdogs and won?
Last year's world cup held in Qatar was a tournament that has many upsets, with many countries tagged as underdogs in their respective groups surprised a lot of us.

The first game that prompted me to bet on the underdogs was seeing how much people made from betting on Iran the underdogs to win Wales, and they did scoring two goals and not conceding any. The second game were people made money unexpectedly from betting on the underdogs to win was Argentina's first game against Saudi Arabia where Saudi Arabia won unexpectedly coming from behind to score unexpectedly.

After those two games, I made it a culture to bet on the underdogs in the tournament whenever they play.

How many times you did this?
During the world cup, in the game against Tunisia and France, Japan and Spain, Belgium and Morocco, Morocco and Portugal in the quarter finals.

And what made you bet on the underdogs is it because of insider tips or just an insight based on your analysis?
I bet on the underdogs because I saw other people made money from it, many people follow odds when betting on games and they go for higher odds sometimes. I do not do it all the the time.
1126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling or gaming sites on: May 05, 2023, 03:24:00 PM
Recently one of my friends told me about some gambing / gaming sites  or apps like Orion Stars, Milky Way, Fire Kirin, Gamevault, Riversweeps,   Ultra panda and few others. 
He told that these are very popular games but i told that i am not aware of these sites. I first thought that they could be gaming sites but later i find out they have gambling games and are in fact casino.
Gaming and Gambling are not the same to me. Gambling involves playing games and staking your money to win more, but in gaming, there is no need for money to be involved. I have never heard of this website that your friend has mentioned to you, but regardless of your relationship with him I still advice that you be careful with this referral. There are two things to think about, your friend might be making the referral without any motive, but it still does not mean that the people behind the website do not have a motive. If you want to play on casino's, play on casino's that you know have earned their credibility even with forum members who are gamblers.
1127  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does the world still see Bitcoin as a scam, or is it just a lack of interest? on: May 05, 2023, 12:43:31 PM
This question has been raised several times, and I have noticed that some people conclude that the lack of adoption is due to people not understanding Bitcoin or seeing it as a scam.
But I don't think the world still views Bitcoin as a bad thing today, though I know a lot of you thought that, but it is not the case.
The most popular view about bitcoins was that it was a scam before, but now it is not perceived as much as that before although some other people and in some areas such views are still held strong.

I feel the reason for the low rate of adoption is just because people think it's not for them.  
I can agree to it. Some people have not seen reasons to buy bitcoins even though they no longer see it as a scam. Some people believe that they have already lost out and can no longer benefit from bitcoins since they cannot buy big amounts.


Many people today are not fans of investment, not to mention buying assets that heavily fluctuate in price. They would choose to save money earned from hard work, and a few might invest in low-risk markets, even though inflation is still eating them up.
These people need proper knowledge to know that saving money in banks will do them no good.
1128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: There are many advantages to the relationship between gambling and Bitcoin. on: May 05, 2023, 01:06:56 AM
Many people will come up with different advantages, some reasonable, others not making complete sense too.
Can you tell us another advantage of opening an account in a Bitcoin Sportsbook?
Introducing someone to gamble with bitcoins especially someone who is new in bitcoins can interest the person and turn them into people that know bitcoins and not just use bitcoins to gamble. Gambling with bitcoin introduces you to many aspect of the importance of bitcoins and it can make someone who is new to be interested in it.

I have seen and witness people involving in bitcoin, most people can not stay a moment without panicking. A colleague of mine who have Minuit bitcoin has buggy me with chats and calls to update if bitcoin will survive this years...
Sometimes people ask you this questions not just because they want to follow your answer, but because they want to validate their opinions and decisions. They already have an answer and opinion in mind, but they just ask to know what you have to say as someone who is more experienced or have more knowledge about crypto than they do.

why can't people know what you're engaging into first before diving into it and start acting like a child.
Don't get upset when someone ask to get your opinion as the more experienced person, rather encourage them to trust their opinions and not always seek validation from others. Some opinions can be lead you wrongly.
1131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why can't regular flash drives store Bitcoin on: May 04, 2023, 05:33:35 PM
In most part of Africa hardware wallets are not only difficult but expensive to get apart form using custodian wallets like trust wallet and metamask is there an alternative software that can help hodl Bitcoin in a flash drive. or otherwise
Everything has a purpose and a particular functions that they were created for, flash drives were never created to store bitcoins, so it not something possible for it to do. The purpose and idea behind the creation of flash drives was conceived without any knowledge of something called cryptocurrency or bitcoins in particular. Flash drives have their history as far back as year 2000 so you can understand why bitcoin storage was not considered as a function for them.
1132  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin network fee´s insanly high at the moment! on: May 04, 2023, 04:32:26 PM
Do you guys/girls think this will stabilize soon or will we see more like this, with normal fee´s one day and extremely high the next day?
There have been times before when network and transaction fees have been high. This is a regular and normal occurrence in bitcoins. There are times when the mempool is congested due to many transactions that need confirmation. The more the number the transactions to confirm, the more higher the network and transaction fee will be. This is normal and something expected when the mempool is crowded as mentioned already.

It raises concerns, but if you are not in a hurry you can wait patiently till the number of transactions reduce, as it will surely happen. This high transaction and network fees can be a challenge to usage of bitcoin in business as a means of payment.

Quote
Congress has long-recognized the potential harms posed by sports betting to the integrity of sporting contests and the public confidence in these events.
These concerns are real, and it is not just singular to only football but any sporting contest that has a large audience of sport bettors. During the just concluded FIFA world cup, many people believed that the competition was manipulated and that big sports betting companies may have had an influence, although these were just mere talks that were not backed by any facts, it does not take away that possibility from the hearts and minds of people who will begin to question the integrity of this sporting contest and reduce people's confidence in it.
1134  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Forget about exchanger search! Use BestChange! on: May 03, 2023, 11:52:51 PM
But then, why would an exchanger lie about the amount of reserve funds they have?

Why would someone who has only 5 BTC lie about having a reserve of about 500 BTC?
Sometimes I think you can never really tell the benefit lying about reserve funds offers to them, you can only wonder. It is not impossible that some exchangers lie about the amount of reserve funds they have but for Bestchange with a very reliable and consistent record over the years, they can be trusted.

Meanwhile, we thoroughly check feedback from our users, and in case of finding out a discrepancy between the data sent to us with reality, moderators check everything and, if necessary, punish the exchanger for the discrepancy. A typical punishment for the mistake in the date is exclusion from the listing from several hours to several days (which means losing clients and money for their business), in extreme cases, we can completely refuse to work with a service that often and deliberately tries to deceive users even in less critical information.
To be able to have maintained such an impeccable record over the years and get good organic reviews, nobody needs to be told that Bestchange has been committed to ensuring good conduct and to have ensured that some defaulters along the way have been punished and others have learnt.
1135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODLing Bitcoin isn't merely an "investment" on: May 03, 2023, 06:54:34 PM
BUT we shouldn't forget that simply HODLing/owning Bitcoin could also be a kind of political movement, because its features could make Bitcoin weaken or break down political strongholds.
Whenever a discussion comes up about how the government has so much control over the citizens financially and how to reduce this power of government and give freedom to citizens, bitcoin always comes up as a solution. So I get the idea that accepting and Hodling bitcoins can be a kind of political movement that aims to restore some sort of freedom to the people. Endorsing and encouraging bitcoin use can also be equated to promotion of this kind of political movement. The government see it as such too, it is part of the reason why they are fighting so hard against it.

But Do You Have losses In Gambling That Still Haunts You Until This Day like you could have bought a new car with that loss
I don't have losses in gambling that still hunts me to this day, what I rather have are near win situations that I can still recall and I sometimes wish that I had won those amounts, that is cases where I should have won but ended up loosing. I do not gamble with money that is not mine and when I gamble, I am always cautious not to exceed a limit. I understand that this may not be the situation for others and I am not claiming to be better than them but that is my own situation.

For people who have such regrettable stories, It is in your best interest to examine and recall what made you put yourself in that situation, so you can try to avoid a reoccurrence in the future.
1137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 03, 2023, 04:18:03 PM
According to the articles shared, sports betting will have the highest market gain in the next few years.
What do you think?
The number of sports bettors is really on the rise and it is logical to imagine that it will have the highest market gain in the next few years. Because of the growth of the media and how well some sports have been packaged and also some other reasons, many people are becoming more interested in some sports that did not have popularity in their areas before and are becoming active bettors. 

For people in the gambling business, these statistics can be a tip that to increase their profit as the number of sport bettors increase, they can include sports betting in their platforms to be beneficiaries of the increase.
1138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Questions of the day for gamblers on: May 02, 2023, 07:50:23 PM
If slots games is all you are good at, are you really good at it or you are just lucky? Can you use the word 'good at it' with slots game?
There are some games that you naturally can be good with. The game is just your thing, because it works smoothly for you maybe not all the time, but most of the time more often than you have lost, and can perhaps be the game that you have experienced the biggest win you have recorded in gambling.

 Slot games are not skill based, so there is no need saying that you are good at it. You can rather say that the game is good with you.
1139  Economy / Gambling / Re: NEW Flush.com Crypto Casino - ♠️ $BTC ♦️ $ETH ♣️ $DOGE ♥️ $LTC on: May 02, 2023, 05:14:49 PM
Does the quoted part mean Flush will have both Cashback and Rakeback?
Yes, that is exactly what is meant.

I am playing in a few casinos. Some of them have Cashback, and some of them have rakeback. But, I did not find cashback and Rakeback on the same platform.
The Flush casino will have an edge over other casino's offering both cashback and rakeback.

3. The new VIP system will incorporate cashback and rakeback. Other casinos give rakeback but do not give cashback, we believe the current cashback system is more generous than rakeback, which only takes house edge into account, unlike our cashback which takes all wagers that do not generate winnings into account.
It is very attractive for casino's to offer cashback just as rakebacks. There are many gamblers that have preferences for casino's that offer cashback systems with good terms and conditions, I believe this new incorporation has the potential to attract more gamblers to the Flush casino which is something to be happy about.

Kudos to the flush team.

1140  Economy / Economics / Re: Food Crisis - Improved, Worsen or still the same in your country (No Change)? on: May 02, 2023, 04:35:52 PM
But I am currently curious about what is happening in each country regarding the current food crisis. Has it gotten better, gotten worse or hasn't there been any change?
In my country, things are pretty normal right now regarding food. Not like the prices have reduced generally, but some things that were scares before are available now. My country has a good number of people involved in agriculture both farming and raising crops and also animals, so whenever there is a food crisis or problem with importation, it is always easy for us to bounce back because we are not totally dependent on other country for food supply.
