I agree with your post but knowing a gambler’s mindset, it will be more fun if you are also winning your game. That’s the reality in gambling. It will be more entertaining if we are also making some profits out of our losses. However, if one will certainly stick to your post, which I think that’s how gambling should be, yes you may play for fun and entertainment with your favorite games, but it’s still inevitable for most of the gamblers to bet on a bigger amount and expect for a higher rewards most especially if you also know how to play the game well. Thus, you are  satisfying yourself with your games while your wallet is filled with profits as well.

BetKing is a scam casino, it's better for you to choose other casino that's more trusted and reputable, check the representative account in this forum whether the account has negative feedback or not.

According on your experience, it's true greed can cause a lost bet because you're looking to make huge amount of money and accept the higher risk.

But it doesn't mean if you're not greedy, you will not lose in gambling, after all gambling is pure of luck and the more you gamble, in the end you will lose.
I guess greed at some point will make you profitable as well. Although there’s no guaranteed winnings from gambling, but sometimes if you are more greedy to win, that will attract positive outcome as well. It’s like when you feel you can be more lucky to win, you decide to increase your bet and end up winning a huge amount. However, at some point, it’s also true that if you are not greedy, you will not lose anymore. Remember that once you decide to gamble, you are prepared to lose your money. So being greedy when gambling could sometimes lead into winning or losing, depending on how you manage your greed.

I’m not actually siding those gamblers who always tell that they were banned because they have always defeated the casino, although I know it’s also possible, but maybe there’s actually deeper reasons why they can’t bet anymore on that site. Let’s just say these casinos have been eyeing these particular gamblers if they have been doing fraudulent activities or they have been cheating all along. But whatever it is, a reputable casino will always be credible of its own actions so if they decide to ban that gambler, most likely he had been breaking the rules numerous times.
1164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: October 01, 2023, 11:59:26 PM
Why would anyone willingly give their control to centralized platforms of their own money? Are you 100% certain that the platform you chose will exist for a lifetime? Remember, anything could happen at any time when we are dealing with anything related to the internet. And not to mention that it is a centralized platform. It is advised to read every TOS before agreeing to them. I don't think anyone will choose a gambling site to keep money after reading them. There are tons of rules and regulations that need to be followed in order to even use the platform. So, my question again is, WHY?

Anything could happen to your account at any time. You are required to do some tasks before you can withdraw. You could be restricted from using your account at any time. I don't think it is the best way to save money for later use. And the gambling with it comes later.
You nailed it right mate. It's never a good decision to save your funds in a gambling site no matter how trustworthy it is. You don't know what awaits for that casino in the following days so never act as if you trusted it your whole life. And you don't know either if it will still be accessible in the next days after, if that happens, then all your savings will all be gone and you cannot do anything about it except to regret your decision because your decision making is very wrong.
1165  Economy / Gambling / Re: Restricted on casino bonuses on: October 01, 2023, 11:39:58 PM
I'm glad you understand how the casino reacts. If you can still avail those bonuses, you will put their business in danger. So if you are being restricted in any gambling casino, don't take it too personally. Instead, still feel grateful for them because they give you profits more than you expected. For now, take a short break from those bonuses. Your decision to focus on trading is a wise decision, at least you know even if you make consistent profits, you will never be restricted.
1166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: October 01, 2023, 10:59:14 PM
My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?

I do not place my bet according to the weight of my financial need. I am okay with whatever amount I win irrespective of whether it is small or big. If I have an urgent financial need to be met, I find a second job , I asked a family or friend to loan me some money, I sell some personal items or my Bitcoin and solve the money problem.

Well I want to believe that it is only newbie gamblers who would only gamble base on potential winning amount. And it tells me that the mom in they are going to use for gambling is money that they know that they cannot avoid to lose.

Better to have a limit  and be satisfied,  I mean if you already have some amount of winning and you can quit or stop on that spot, you should do that,  those who seek for something that  isn't easy to achieve might suffer a huge losses, unless you really practicing that kind of strategy and you are willing to let go the amount of money that you  deposited,  then you are good to go.

There are some who can and some who can't,  all depends from how a gambler deals with the setup that he's aiming for that sessions and the level of satisfaction that they have.
  If you are a long time gambler, I bet you  know already that gambling will not guarantee secured profits, so it's really better to be satisfied even with small winnings because that is already your profits. Trying to chase more for additional winnings will only put your profits at risk, thus eventually losing them in the process. Although some gamblers still hesitant to stop when they are winning already, but it's always the best thing to do for a gambler.
1167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New ID requirements for Gamblers in Australia on: October 01, 2023, 10:31:37 PM
I can’t imagine a physical casino not doing KYC on their customers. Don’t they do that already? If so, what’s the purpose of this new law?  I believe they make lots of money from gambling in Australia. If they make it harder for the players, then the Australian government will lose lots of money. That means less health care, less infrastructure, less security etc…

I think they are trying to ban gambling without directly banning it because they don’t have the balls to do it. The sheeple are not sheep enough.
But I don't think banning gambling completely will be possible. That's why if they can tighten the requirements even in online gambling, they will bound to do it so that minor gamblers will not be allowed to gamble anymore because gambling will only make their lives miserable in the future. And parents should be responsible as well to not tolerate their minors steal their IDs as they can also be blamed for that if these minors will get addicted to gambling.

I can see that Australia is just trying to prevent their citizens not to fall deeply in gambling addiction. And they find online gambling could make a good start.
1168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Navigating the World of Online Gambling on: October 01, 2023, 09:24:47 PM
I fall under the category of those gamblers who take a break after losing a decent amount of money in gambling.
Mostly the breaks are for few weeks until I make a new deposit again and start gambling.
I think it is necessary to take short breaks so that we don't get addicted to gambling.
It also makes us a responsible gambler by keeping a track of our losses.

This is a great practice as a gambler. This is highly recommended for those gamblers who are unable to stop and get addicted eventually. Chasing your loss instead of taking a break to analyze what your mistakes are is not what a responsible gambler would do. It's all about the psychology that goes on in our heads. The best way to counter this is to take a break from what is causing the issue. The moment we divert our mind from gambling, we can realize the mistakes. Because our mind won't be in a rush.
Only taking short breaks won't help totally if you don't want to get addicted to gambling. But it is a great practice. It will minimize your losses.
I must agree with this. When you think that your losses have obviously outnumbered your winnings and your funds have been affected already, I think the wisest decision is to stay away from gambling temporarily because that’s the only way you can save again and regain what you have lose. Maybe divert your attention into something useful and entertaining as well. Gambling is certainly a game of chance and luck, so you can’t assume that you’ll be lucky the whole time. If you think you have earned spare cash to gamble again, then try your luck but this time set your limits already before you will lose all your.m funds again.
1169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: October 01, 2023, 08:51:06 PM
My first experience was amazing. I won just a small amount, probably some beginner’s luck. So I my urge to gamble became more intense that I definitely want to put a higher bet. I did but I was disappointed after that since I literally lose all my money even my previous winnings as well. Maybe that’s how gambling is all about. They make you win first and eventually get back all those that you have won. I actually learn the gambling site from a trusted friend. And he did warned about its risk. But as a newbie, you will definitely think that you might be lucky and get the chance to win big. And that was my first loss, and I surely learned a lesson from that.
1170  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casino repeated live payout results on: October 01, 2023, 01:19:34 PM
-snip-
As long as you are gambling on reputable casinos, you won't question that kind of live results. But if not, you might doubt it's not reliable.
Which casino that was at would be quite interesting, yes. The result and its falsification would be almost too obvious for a manipulation, so there must be another reason why the live payouts look like this here. This would be in my opinion definitely worth a question at the support or in the forum of the respective casino ... and I would also be very curious about the answer.

Basically I agree with you: Especially live payouts are very easy to manipulate and make you believe that there is a high activity of players, especially on smaller casinos... which in turn makes the casino more attractive for new players - and of course larger deposits. Hardly anyone would make larger deposits on casinos where hardly anyone plays.

Feedback is still the best way to measure a casino's reputation. If a casino has the courage to create an announcement thread here, I guess they are legitimate and they understand how big the market is here, which would help them grow their business. However, if a casino just spends on paid reviews, which obviously the website will create biased reviews, then they're likely planning to scam gamblers.
1171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 01, 2023, 12:48:58 PM
I’m seeing reports that Blake Griffin is considering retirement.

If Griffin ends his career in the NBA, it would be an expected decision, as he's already too far away from his prime based on his stats from last season. However, as far as I know, the Celtics are still interested in re-signing him for one more season. So, I think Griffin should take advantage of this opportunity to earn at least a couple more million dollars.

Yeah, why not grab that opportunity for at least a year and see how it goes for him. Still added bonus for him even if he is not given enough time, maybe his presence as a veteran or a reliever for the PF to sometimes Center might be good enough for him.
Paul is also playing on a championship contender team, so if their teams are good enough to make it to the NBA Finals, one of them will certainly win their first championship. Griffin played 13 MPG last season with the Celtics, but his output was very low with only 4.1 points, and what's notable is his rebounding is not good.

To many lapses on Warriors team and for sure the lacking of height will be there weakness and for this they will be taken advantage by other teams. To many question on their current roster if they could able to go to playoffs since to many teams already know how to counter the small ball line up build up by Warriors.
They know their weakness that's why they sign new players just recently.
https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/09/warriors-sign-six-players-including-rudy-gay.html
Quote
The Warriors have signed free agents Rudy Gay, Rodney McGruder, Donovan Williams, Kendric Davis, Javan Johnson and Jayce Johnson ahead of training camp, the team announced on Thursday (via Twitter).

That's the reason why Griffin consider to retire since he already feels that his numbers are declining so its good to decide that way rather than been rot in bench so that he can still get a decent retirement compare if he still decide to play where maybe he's retirement might get ignored by fans or the teams he played through out of his career.

If he wants to be a champion, then I guess it's not bad if he would accept a small contract and help the Celtics in any way. Veterans could help the team, especially Griffin, who has been in the playoffs so many times already. Just look at what the Heat did with Udonis Haslem; though he isn't playing much, he was still kept by the team because he can help motivate the players.

Is that your account that is in the screenshot? It's just one name, so it's probably yours. If not, then most likely the casino does not have a lot of gamblers playing on the site. Regarding the time, there's a seconds difference, so more than one outcome would result in a minute. As long as you are gambling on reputable casinos, you won't question that kind of live results. But if not, you might doubt it's not reliable.
1173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: September 30, 2023, 09:45:47 PM
For me, I started to gamble when my friend showed his earnings to me. I got jealous because of that and me want to earn more, I become greedy and it makes me frustrated because I want to earn more. I gamble not because I have insufficient funds but rather because of my greed and I want to earn more like my friend. My money is sufficient in our everyday needs, but when I started to play unendlessly it becomes an addiction but luckily I caught myself so early.
Many gamblers only show off their profits but hide big losses so they don't want anyone to know, don't make your motivation for gambling from other people's gambling profits, you are addicted to gambling to gain bigger profits than your friends, I hope you should consider the purpose of gambling not to Getting a profit from anything related to gambling does not guarantee a profit apart from the impact of large losses, so determine a financial allocation for gambling that you can afford to bear losses without affecting aspects of financial allocation for other needs. The most important thing is that gambling minimizes losses because if you do not limit the use of finances in gambling then greed will worsen your financial management, without you realizing it you will lose half of your assets due to greed which influences you to get high profits from gambling.
Greed is something that we should learned not to chase for it because we all know the outcome how it can be threatening for us. Regardless if it's trading or gambling, as long as you let yourself motivated with greed, that will only ruin what you have started and will eventually break your finances because you set high expectations that gambling will definitely bring a lot of profits for you.
1174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage your money on gambling sites. on: September 30, 2023, 09:19:01 PM
If you gamble on a trusted crypto gambling site, why should you withdraw all your winnings from there?  Does their reputation not make you feel comfortable to put your money there long enough?

i noticed on several online gambling sites that when you make a large withdrawal, their system will automatically detect it and you will make it a little difficult for them, so i never withdraw all the money that i win, i will withdraw it periodically, until reaching a certain nominal value, this is more of an ethical issue i think.
Even though it is a trusted crypto gambling site, we should withdraw all winnings from there and leave a little money in our gambling account to gamble another day immediately. That will make it easier for us because we don't have to wait for the deposit. The casino's reputation has made us comfortable because we have not encountered any problems but if it is money, we should withdraw it as soon as possible. Especially if it is a casino, we can be tempted to return to gambling and instead use the winnings to gamble.

Most casinos will ask users to perform KYC before they can withdraw large amounts of money. Moreover, now the regulators are monitoring casinos more strictly so that casinos cannot do anything other than comply with the regulations. You can also withdraw it periodically if that is the best thing for you, but you must be able to control yourself not to use the winnings for gambling.
I also agree on you. No matter how reputable a casino is, that is not an enough guarantee that your funds will certainly be safe always. There are sudden incidents that made some casinos to collapse, and if your funds are still saved in there, that will be in danger of course. That's the reason why I don't trust long term safekeeping with my winnings in a certain casino, even if I have definite plans to gamble again.
1175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ban from a Casino for Nothing Other Than Winning Too Much Money on: September 30, 2023, 02:46:15 PM
Actually this is nothing new for high roller or professional gambler, first the casino will limit the account, if he's keep winning and drain the casino's money, they will take the last step to ban the account.

Since Dana White was gamble in land based casino, it's more easier for the operator/staff to ban the high roller or professional gambler.

I'm not saying the casino is bad or unethical for doing that, but they must do everything to make their business not going to bankrupt, right?
You’re right. The only fear for business owners is to see their business collapse that’s why if they can still prevent it from happening, then even banning the said professional gambler is possible. So I’m not actually surprised with this type of scenario because the casino’s house is supposed to always win and not the gambler itself. But in the case of Dana White, its banning serves a very obvious purpose.

When the country is experiencing too much inflation that makes the people find it hard to survive, at least the country should also be responsible to provide massive sources of income so that the people can still sustain all their needs and make ends meet. Otherwise, people will be push to enter get rich quick source of profits most likely with gambling. Thus, instead of working for daily survival, they put all their time and efforts into gambling and eventually develop addiction. That’s when things become uncontrollable for them, that they become prone to committing crimes due to consistent losses of their money.

Youths are more susceptible to fall on this type of situation. Thats why advices from family is very important. Without discipline, there can be no good man in gambling.
1177  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Bitcoin really risky as they say? on: September 29, 2023, 11:28:35 PM
Generally, most people sees Bitcoin as being of high risk , meanwhile, others tend to disagree with the fact of being risky.
I'm one of those who believe Bitcoin isn't risky when compared to altcoins. Those who think otherwise haven't deeply studied how Bitcoin works. For me, the only risk there would be making wrong entry or exit predictions while buying it. If we're referring to market dump as the risk Bitcoin can be thrown into or exposed to, then we should know that Bitcoin is like a cat with nine lives. It never dies. It has the ability of rising from its ashes. We've seen it rise from serious dump on several occasions during the bear seasons after each ATHs in the past.
However, for me, I believe Bitcoin is really risky but the weight of risk depends on how much you are capable enough to manage its risk. But I have to agree with you that if bitcoin is risky, altcoins are even riskier as they are. With their pump and dump scheme, at the end of the day what we see is that most of them have turned into dead coins except for those who have established their credibility on the market.
1178  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Constant wins in the casino for several days, then constant losses. Noticed?! on: September 29, 2023, 10:56:27 PM
That’s what you call variance and luck. Sometimes, you win, and sometimes you lose. These really happen regularly on different casinos across the board, and it’s not pre-programmed in any way, it’s just how one’s luck play out. You could say that the casino is cheating you off your money, or is trying to lure you, but you can just check the seed every time you play. Of course, play on reputable casinos to make sure that you're not being cheated out of your money.
Precisely. You can never expect to keep on winning or to keep on losing from a certain casino. Gambling is just all about win and lose, so if you got the luck, you win, but if you are being unlucky, you lose the chance to make profits. It’s not like that you are putting the blame on the casino every time you lose, that’s an irresponsible gambling. As long as you know the casino you are playing is reputable enough, I think it’s not reasonable to blame the casino but definitely blame yourself for the constant losses.
1179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: September 29, 2023, 10:34:59 PM
Responsible gambling is not the same as responsible gaming. You can play game to gamble but you can also play game not to gamble.

Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.
Your post is just like a conclusion and does not worth it at all.

Just take note that the government do not care. It is you that will go for the option of self exclusion, not the government that will do that for you. And the best way you can help yourself is to discipline yourself.

If you go to Africa, Asia, South America and many other countries, you will see that gambling is more regulated in a way that tax are collected to the government, also in other countries, but some countries still regulate gambling more than the way some other countries do.
I guess OP might somehow be confused about responsible gaming and responsible gambling but let's focus on responsible gambling. Yes, you are right with this that the government does not care about us but cares on the funds that they can collect from those casinos. So as a gambler, it's our responsibility to limit our exposure in gambling and control ourselves not to completely bite the urge in gambling. Note that there is high risk from losing in gambling and if you are greedy and become uncontrollable when gambling, you will fall as an irresponsible gambler.
1180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Tips for Consistent Profits on: September 29, 2023, 09:42:53 PM
LOL! There are no effective betting tips for consistent profits. This is nothing but a myth. There are betting tips like OP mentioned, but they are not for consistent profits. It's simply because there are no consistent profits in gambling. If consistent profits were true following certain tips or strategies, NitroBetting itself would have already gone bankrupt. The idea of consistent profits is not true either in casinos or in sports betting. It isn't true at all.
I definitely agree on this. No matter how your betting tips look promising, there's no guarantee that you will make profits consistently. Because gambling in reality will never give us an edge to profit consistently. Even professional gamblers fail to realize that, most especially for those who are new and are still inexperienced about gambling.
