Your intention might be more appealing for those who have never start to gamble for all their lives because it's surely easier for them not to engage in it anymore. But for those who have started to gambling already and are now experiencing losses, it's certain that this post will no longer affect them. Instead, they will be more eager to pursue gambling to recover their losses and chase for more profits in the future.
1182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: September 29, 2023, 08:30:22 PM
The outcome of the majority of casino games is mostly controlled by luck rather than ability. Examples that are often used include craps, roulette, and slot machines. Players wager on numerous outcomes in these games, and the casino has an inherent advantage that ensures they will profit in the long term.
Casino gaming is a popular source of entertainment. Instead of looking at it as a means of making money, players should approach it with the intention of having fun.
We all know that casino games are meant to be enjoyed since it’s a source of entertainment, not a source of earning a living. But people will never settle on that. Most especially with inexperienced gamblers, they’re more than greed to earn like an instant. That’s the reason why most of them lose a lot aside from those who get lucky eventually and make decent amount of profits.

Recently I've seen alot of threads where people just jump into writing an incredible episode without putting their readers into consideration.
I'm not a fan of reading very long articles and most times I think some posts ought to be simplified and summarized to get ease of attention and from my observation,  it seems most users confuse quantity with quality and think, writing very long post simply means the post has quality  which is wrong.

I've seen very short and straight to the point post doing extremely  very well on the forum and people ought to them learn from  them.
However, not all topics need to be short and precise as there are broad topics that need to be explained well and it can only be possible by making a long post so that all the important details will be listed there. That's up to the readers if they can't still get the main content of the post. As long as you never miss all the important factors, I believe that post is still a quality post.

Whatever you do at a certain point, especially when it's all about making wealth, make your family aware of it so they can back up you when you're no longer capable of what you used to do, like having a terminal illness or you're no longer existing anymore.That is one way to prepare yourself and your family as well so they can still pursue all the time and efforts you have put in a certain investment, and enjoy those benefits you have store for them.
1185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 28, 2023, 10:36:22 PM
At some point, you're right; gambling has never been good in terms of finance. It's incredible that someone could win a large sum without working hard for it, while others can lose a fortune instantly through gambling. It's crazy putting a lot of money into an unknown future with no guarantee of happiness at the end.

Many people criticize gambling for this reason. However, what's good about gambling is that it can provide entertainment from time to time. You can do it just for fun, as long as it doesn't harm you financially. I mean, there are people who gamble with just $1 or even less per bet, and they do it for enjoyment or to improve their mood, which in my opinion can be good for mental health if you can control yourself.
Well the fact that gambling is never designed to give us an income but a source of entertainment instead. So if you want to gamble because you want to release your boredom and improve your mood, gambling will never fail you on that. But if you want to seize every profit opportunities for gambling to the extent of saving your hard-earned money for it, well you are making a wrong decision. It's never bad to gamble but make sure to gamble on your spare money, not literally spending the whole amount of your savings.
1186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Youth Gambling on: September 28, 2023, 09:23:43 PM
Among young people is a result of the availability of gambling alternatives, such as sports betting and online gambling. Gambling disorders can have long-term effects on a person's ability to complete their education and choose their future, and young individuals may be particularly susceptible to acquiring these illnesses
While gambling brings a health risk most especially for young and less knowledgeable individuals, that is why parental guidance is of high importance so that no more teens will be able to gamble unless they have reached their legal age to access gambling. Otherwise, they will become doomed and will definitely fall on the traps of gambling while leaving their education second priority next to gambling.
1187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which games offer the best chance of a big win? on: September 28, 2023, 12:03:42 PM
Let's settle this! Based on your experience which game is more likely to bring a big win - slots, table games or crypto games?

On one hand, I know slots bring in large X's, but it is quite rare and you have to be really lucky. On the other hand, I saw people get massive multipliers on crypto games like Crash after a couple of minutes of playing. So which is it?
Slots can offer huge amount of winnings but at the same time the chances to lose is ultimately high. So if you decide to play slots, make sure you know how to manage its risk so you can minimize the chances to lose. However, with table games or crypto games, they are mostly skill based games so if you have the knowledge and skills to play them, you will have an edge over the house. But still, luck is still crucial in all types of gambling games. And the more you chose to play games based on your abilities and skills, the bigger the chances you will end up with massive profits.
1188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: September 28, 2023, 09:30:16 AM
I actually don’t have negative opinion about using credit card for gambling. Although it would make you easily overspend and become doomed to debt, but hey if you gamble responsibly, things like this will be avoided. So I don’t agree with banning credit cards for gambling, instead it would be more reasonable to ban those gamblers who always gamble without caution. Even if you use fiat, as long as you don’t know how to control your funds, you will still end up with a huge debt and worst become homeless.
1189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: September 27, 2023, 11:30:50 PM
While watching TV with my kid, I've watched various advertisements of gambling nature (let's say for example, Rummy123, RummyCircle, A23 Rummy, etc.)
These are all specifically Indian ads, but I'm sure you may have seen various gambling advertisements, some banners at boundaries when cricket is ongoing, even in any other sport. How would a kid ignore those things, they might just come and ask you about what is it. Till when can we lie to them? Don't you think that the frequency of such ads must be less in order to let the kids not get trapped into gambling and don't do it at such a small age?
Here in my country, I don't see any ads about gambling probably because gambling creates a negative impact on most of our societies here. So I don't worry things like that. But a lot of gambling ads have been flooding all over the internet that's why I have to set the notifications on their smart phones. However, I really believe that whether it's in television or in social media, gambling ads should always be prohibited so that gambling casinos cannot recruit their soon to be slaves for gambling.
1190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons you should not gamble on too many things at once. on: September 27, 2023, 10:53:59 PM
If you have the habit of playing and gambling on different sports and game, I think it is not good because of some few reasons like;
YOU WILL SPEND MORE MONEY ON GAMBLING.
YOU CAN BECOME MORE EASILY ADDICTED THAN A GAMBLER WHO PLAYS ONLY ONE GAME. 
YOUR CHANCES OF LOOSING WILL INCREASE, BUT YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING MAY NOT INCREASE.
YOU WILL SPEND MORE TIME GAMBLING.
Which other reason?

Just accept the reality that once you decide to gamble, you will surely lose your money at some point. Especially if you cross your limits in gambling, expect that you will only lose all of them and you might still end as a gambling addict. Whether you bet on one sport or another, I think that's only normal for a gambler who knows every game. If you don't win at this sport, then try your luck at the other sport. But never cross beyond your limits, because that will only push you to lose a lot of your money without having any guarantees if you can still recover them or not.
1191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes just flex it ( luck is all you need) on: September 27, 2023, 10:30:51 PM
While you are at your luckiest day, your fellow gamblers might probably be at a huge loss, and that's normal for gamblers. That's why if we are gaining some house advantages, I think that's still reasonable to flex them so that other people will realize that gambling is not just all about losses but there are exciting winnings as well. But still, we should play the games with caution. Gambling is still unpredictable, we don't know if we will lose or win every time we decide to play.
1192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Education. on: September 27, 2023, 09:48:26 PM
Instead of outrightly banning gambling, how about if the concerned countries officially include gambling education in their academic syllabus, just like sex education is taught in schools. Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?

This is not a bad idea if there’s really a way to have an edge against casino. The problem is most gambling games is just based on luck while only few games that is skill based which typically very hard to master even with proper education.

Banning the gambling in the country is still the best thing to do so that they can control the general public. Only few people keep gambling even with the restrictions and risk of freezing account while the majority is still avoiding it due to the law. I believe having few violators is still success compared with a general public that has a gambling problem that will affect the output of their economy due to the manpower problem.
Gambling, regardless if people will be educated or not, it will still remain a threat to an individual's life. That is the reason why it's better not to educate people about gambling because once they will learn on how to minimize the risk in gambling, then it will be easier for them to engage in gambling especially if their country is legalizing it. So the best decision is still to ban gambling so that addiction will be controlled, at least for a few individuals who have been relying into gambling for most of their lives.
1193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is only Bitcoin and nothing else on: September 25, 2023, 04:28:00 PM
I still remember some of the project I invested in, and I can say the same that most of those project was turns into dust. They always promise something big like 'the next Bitcoin' or 'better than Ethereum' but none of them could deliver the promised product. This investment mostly happened on the ICO boom like 4 years ago, tho there might be some projects that actually booming, and the profit is quite satisfying, I still learned from those mistake, and now like more than 80% of my portfolio is on Bitcoin, and I barely invest in any new project.
Those who have experienced huge losses from those altcoins or shitcoins, surely they will never invest in them again to avoid another losses. But for those who are still new in the market, I still think they will still be deceive with those too good to be true altcoins. They’re actually cheap compared to bitcoin so if you invest because of greed, you will chose to invest in them and expect maximum profits.
1194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: September 25, 2023, 03:58:55 PM
So, if users had to compete against an AI in poker online, it would be almost impossible for them to win, unless they used AI themselves too.
Maybe. Maybe not. AI could prove to be useful in various ways while playing poker online, but it cannot destroy it since sites will definitely come up with secure protocols to tackle them right away.

For example, some forum members who were using chatgpt to write posts got caught exposing its weakness.
Casinos have already anticipated this AI, in fact they are certainly much more sophisticated in dealing with users who try to use AI, so it will not be possible to give opportunities and wins to users who try to destroy it, after all AI technology cannot fully be used to earn money by beating casino, because of course that would also seem difficult.

Not all AI works like what we think, even if it is beyond the limits of our minds, AI does not necessarily provide that information, because human artificial intelligence will never be able to exceed what is beyond the limits of the human mind itself and in any case it is still needed. human touch is also used for gambling and does not fully use AI in playing online poker gambling.
AI may work at some point but it’s not completely reliable when it comes to gambling or let’s say online poker. The works of AI is still a lot different from a human being intelligence. Probably AI may somehow work but maybe it’s more on chances rather than using our human mind which creates more probability to win even in a very unpredictable gambling games.
1195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [WARNING] Crypto casino scam on teh move again. on: September 25, 2023, 03:35:59 PM
general rule: if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Unfortunately these scams continue to run because people believe that it is easy to get rich at the expense of others and they think that there are actually people on the internet who want to provide you with opportunities to get rich.

this discussion/warning, although it is connected to the gambling sector, I believe it should be included on scam accusations board.
You’re right. Strangers offering you some instant opportunities are indeed too good be true. Note that people will never give us an edge if they can’t take advantage on us first. That’s why they need our funds first so they can fulfill their promises as well. And if you are greedy enough, you will surely bite this kind of offer and easily believe that you will really get rich. And when you fall on their trap, that’s when you realized that you were taken advantage and get scammed.
1196  Economy / Gambling / Re: casino rating on: September 25, 2023, 02:58:36 PM
Ratings can be biased because they are based on individual experiences, and we never know the credibility of the rater. The poster above is right; just check their ANN thread. If you don't see any bad feedback and the thread is active with forum members of higher ranks sharing their feedback and participating in discussions, that's an indication that they are a reputable gambling site.
In addition, casino ratings can be paid so that the casino will look credible to the eyes of the gamblers. So if you want legit and not fake ratings, visit their ANN thread so you will know how most of the gamblers have experienced playing in that certain casino. And if this casino is still credible and reputable up to these days as some ratings might be too old for us to believe.
1197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Flip or Trade? What’s The Bigger Gamble? on: September 25, 2023, 02:36:12 PM
What’s your take? Does day trading seem more of a gamble compared to a straight-up coin flip
Coin flip has a defined winning chance rate while day trading has a dynamic winning chance rate depending on how good you are on trading. So I say trading is more on gambling if you don’t know what you are doing such us newbies buying bunch of random shitcoins without doing research first.

On trading, you have a chance to improve your winning probability while gambling is purely relying on luck since you can’t improve the outcome no matter how good you are.
Well, I can’t say that day trading will fall as a gambling simply because you don’t rely on pure luck as you have your skills and winning strategies that will keep you an edge over the market. But coin flip will always be gambling as it is because the chance to win is very low while giving a higher advantage on the house itself. The only way day trading becomes gambling is when you day trade knowing the fact that you’re not a reliable trader. You only trade because your peers are telling you to do so, clearly it’s a form of gambling instead.
1198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: September 24, 2023, 11:59:14 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?


First and foremost, I come to casinos to satisfy my need for excitement. If I was interested in money I would invest that money and enjoy the interest on the deposit. There is no way to predict how my gaming session will end, but I always try to finish the game at the moment when my deposit is higher than the starting deposit. If I can not win, then by and large I do not care so much whether I lose all the money I put in the casino or withdraw some of it for the next game session.
Investing is definitely the best option if you want to maximize your profits. However, gambling on one side is not that bad, as long as you entertain yourself and you get to win at some point, then that's fair enough. But it's inevitable that some gamblers see gambling as a do or die. Or they won't bet at all if the prize is not impressive for them. For me, I don't usually bet looking for the jackpot prize, whatever I'm going to win that's good enough as long as I got to win consistently.
1199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Trust RNGs (Random Number Generators) in Casinos? on: September 24, 2023, 11:30:18 PM
Yes I trust RNGs, but only in big gambling providers e.g. Pragmatic Play, Play 'N' Go, Microgaming and NetEnt. This is because we have no way to verify our bet, all we can do is trust the providers.

If someone can't trust RNGs, then the choice is avoid slots and only gamble in own casino's games, you can verify your bet.

If you still not trust both of them, you can gamble in sport bookie.

However if you still think sport is rigged, never talk about gambling anymore and go away from this place.
Right. It's useless to gamble if we resort into believing that these RGNs are rigged. If that is the case, we will never see ourselves winning some decent amount at some point. However, probably for those fake and scam casinos, there's no way we can trust those RGNs but for big and famous casinos, either we need to trust them or we just have to avoid gambling at all cost.
1200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: September 24, 2023, 10:56:54 PM
In my opinion making cash from gambling is not a good option and the statistical probability that you will win every game at every casino is very low. I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.
Gambling is mostly associated with luck, but for you to win you should also have knowledge and working strategies that will eventually attract your luck and enable you to make profits. At some point, skills are also essential in gambling most especially for sports betting, aside from luck that one should always have. However, we can't force the universe to make us lucky the whole time we are into gambling. That's why some resort into committing a lot of losses before they gain luck and eventually ends profitable.
