Check the Casino's Reputation, Before you jump into any online casino, take some time to research its reputation. Find out if others have used this casino and whether they've been able to successfully withdraw their winnings. A trusted casino should have a track record of fair payouts.
This is actually what is more important before a beginner explores online gambling, they must be able to research casinos that are truly fair and always actively interact with their users. I suggest looking more deeply at the ANN in this forum because from this forum we can find out which sites are good. has a good reputation and is played by many users because the casino review sites out there are not necessarily accurate.

Apart from looking for a reputation for online gambling on this forum, new users can also get advice from community friends to gamble wisely and responsibly because most new gamblers often exceed budget and time limits when gambling so they experience big losses at the start, let alone become addicts, so as A good suggestion is that this forum can be used as a place to find information as well as important lessons for gambling correctly.  Grin
Absolutely. Knowing the casino’s reputation will help you decide whether it’s safe to gamble at this site or just avoid it because the reviews are telling you to do so. That way, your funds will never be compromised especially if you end up gambling at a scam casino. Furthermore, tracing the history of the casino will also help to confirm whether the casino or reputable or not. Otherwise, first time gamblers will rush into gambling into random casinos because of greed, and end up being scammed and eventually lose all their funds.

Free spins are actually giving some opportunities for lucky players to win some decent amount, but since we all know that most of the time the casinos get lucky more than us, then it’s seldom to see winning from free spins than losing it. However, I can tell that those free spins are real and not manipulated by the casino as we have seen some gamblers who are very aggressive when it comes to playing free spins.

I don’t even have remarkable winnings from gambling so I can tell that I’m not paying taxes with my gambling habits. And if ever I won huge amount, most likely from lottery, the organization itself already deduct an amount intended to pay for the tax. So I don’t pay it personally since the prize amount has already been reduced probably by 20% out of my whole winning amount.
1224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? on: September 17, 2023, 04:26:41 PM
That's right, gambling is just a matter of luck in the person who gambles. If we gamble because of a hobby or to entertain ourselves, of course we won't regret it if one day we lose, and it's different if someone gambles to earn income. There is still doubt because we cannot predict when we will be lucky or win, maybe we will lose. Yes, I agree with you, no matter how good we are at gambling, one day we will definitely lose and if we can't manage the money we bet, of course we will regret it and in the end, like it or not, we will lose and we have to be ready to accept this.
And if they haven't been lucky, they don't need to force themselves to continue gambling, especially if they have lost several times. They should immediately stop gambling and leave the casino before all their money is gone. Never make gambling a hobby because it is a very expensive hobby, and it is better to choose other activities as a hobby, especially those that do not use a lot of money. And we will never know when we can win because we can only gamble as usual and just try to enjoy our gambling time.

Yes, some says that gambling is the most expensive form of entertainment/hobby so it will be much better to find another activity to spend some time with specially for those who don't have much income. Money is somewhat important because it can help us if we use it in a useful ways mainly if there is something that is needed to pay with rather than finding out yourself if you're lucky or not on that specific day by gambling as that will just make your situation even worse.
1225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Stevenson vs De Los Santos - Nov 16 on: September 17, 2023, 03:45:32 PM

Shakur is a top-level which many had turned down fighting him, even Loma and Isaac Cruz but I think DLS can handle him. Though Santos can hurt with just jabs, he hasn't fought someone with skills like Shakur.

De Los Santos is younger with 1 loss, so losing another isn't as frightening as the first for him. He's got his run though but Shakur could stop him from picking up while he is still trying to climb up.

Well, one thing is for sure, both boxers wanted the vacant belt even if it's just an interim title for the meantime but that is still the same because if Haney will continue his journey at 140 then that means that whoever wins this bout, he will be a regular champion after Haney will be stripped.

Correct, the winner might be relegated to full status by the WBC if Haney will be stripped because he doesn't want to defend or campaign at 140 lbs.
It could be a duck for Haney as clearly as him and Shakur has been going on in social media prior to the announcement of Shakur's fight, (including the failed Frank Martin fight).

But I got to say though, Shakur really got an upper hand because his IQ is different and with experience, I know he can handle Santos. Shakur wouldn't be feared at 135 by Loma, Isaac and even Haney if he's not even that hard to fight but he is really hard to crack that is why those guys chose to avoid him rather than face an imminent embarrassment.

And that is one point that Devin Haney's father said in one video.
Shakur is above his son, although Devin is getting closer as he won championship, he still thinks that Shakur might overcome his son, hence they got up to 140 lbs and chase Regis for his belt.

I don't think that could be is the right term for it because Devin Haney indeed ducked Shakur Stevenson in a mandatory fight and just like what you said, even his own father admired Shakur's talent because he know that he is a serious boxer that can give his son's first defeat in his career and worse, replaced being the unified champion. We may not see how will the fight go but I think we can already assume what would happen.
1226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 17, 2023, 03:13:50 PM
I agree as Looney will still be on the rotation and if ever Howard will be signed by the Warriors, he will have lesser minutes as Warriors can also do an experiment to play small.

Instead of having Looney or Howard, they can go with Green, that if CP3 will be included with their starting 5,
Chance to see Splash bros with Green, Wiggins and CP3. Small lineup that will focus with good offense to counter
whatever the system of their opponents.
And yet I still believe this will not work out fine.
This is a new roster and I think Draymond Green is way over his head. For a lot of times, a team with so many superstars doesn't work out fine. Take the Lakers and the Miami Heat. Both tried the same strategy but ended up badly.

But, look at what Dallas Mavericks made. Marion, Dirk, Jason Kidd, Terry, and some roleplayers. Chemistry is at the highest level because they know who is the leader of the team. Now, they are breaking chemistry just because they want a super team. It doesn't work. I am repeating it over and over again.a

Yeah, and on the other hand, I read some criticism saying or questioning the Warriors, "Is Dwight Howard the missing pieces for them to win a championship"? My answer will be no, they still need to have a good chemistry inside even if they have the traditional big men in Howard.

There are super teams that work and there are super teams that didn't. So it's really hard to compare them, it's really up how this superstars are going to give up their status, like the DWade and Lebron + Bosh in Miami.

I think everyone is making too much about d Howard.  He was a good piece 10 years ago.  He couldn't land in the NBA last year what is going to make a guy with 20 nba years of mileage on him make a difference for this team.  It's all about steph and klay.

They know what Dwight can do and can't do these days but the fact is, they had a meeting because they have an idea that Dwight might be useful to them. You know, just to man their center and do the rebounding for them because Green will do the rest for the Warriors defense and they got Looney and Wiggins as well. He is not expected to do all the chores because he's not the way we used to know like in the previous years where he can really dominate any team that he was up against. Let's just trust the Warriors because we're already in the point where they know what they are doing.
1227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your perception about crypto games? on: September 17, 2023, 10:12:58 AM
I do not understand what you mean that some games do and do not rely on bull run. What I know is that there are many gambling sites on this forum that may not make money in bear market time unlike the bullish time if both are compared. Bullrun or bear market does not affect any game. But if it affects any game, the gambling site will be the one that will know better, not the gamblers.
You’re exactly right in there. The bearish or bullish market does not determine whether these crypto games may probably decrease its value or not. But as long as there are crypto games lovers that consistently play on them, these types of games will never be gone out in the market. And if ever they will, only the gambling sites will feel it and will highly be affected.

What I like about my favorite casino is that KYC is never compulsory. You can still play and withdraw your winnings even without KYC verification. What I don't like but still continue to play with it is it's high transaction fee. I just do a one time withdrawal just to lessen the price of transaction fee.
1229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage your money on gambling sites. on: September 16, 2023, 06:31:41 PM
I've been following a few gambling channels on Twitter and Telegram, and whenever they share a screenshot of a bet slip or winning ticket, they occasionally also include the balance of their wallet. I've seen this happen several times, which made me wonder why they don't choose to withdraw their winnings instead of storing them in their gambling site wallet. Why do they leave that much in there, or is it simply for show off? A gambling expert should know better than to save their money on casino websites. 

I always withdraw all my winnings and only deposit the right amount i want to use to gamble whenever i want to play a game. I’d like to know everyone’s opinion on which way is better and which one do you practice in managing your funds on gambling sites.
For me, you are doing what is right. As a gambler, we should know the limits of the coins we store in the gambling site. If I have won consistently, I will secure my profits first and withdraw them from the gambling site. Maybe if I have still plan to gamble more, I will only leave a small amount that I can easily manage to lose. Money is very hot in gambling, once it's there, it's hard to stop yourself from gambling until you see your balance has been completely used up.
1230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has your Responsible Gambling had any of these Effects on You? on: September 16, 2023, 04:52:22 PM
Not on me personally, but I believe it VERY important that every casino take their responsibility to inform their players how to gamble responsible and provide all necessary links where players can seek help if they need.

Of course, and if I'm not mistaken, they are mandated by law to ensure that their players know what responsible gambling is. To the casinos that I go, they have this sign in front and even have leaflets that you can get to learn about it.

That's why for us gamblers, we really need to control our gambling habit because we all know at the end, it's not going to be good for us. So we should have prioritize things and just enjoy our gambling and have some fun when we go to land base casinos. We have seen and read the devastating effects of being a gambling addict and we don't want to be another statistics to the growing numbers.

Gambling is good for us, I think we can all agree with that because it helps us in times whenever we wanted some time off from the real world with the problems entailed and just wanted to have some alone time to entertain ourselves. But just like any other things in this world, too much is already bad for us and in this instance, too much gambling will just ruin our lives in the long run and will probably going to have an effect to our own family because they will also suffer from it.
1231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: September 16, 2023, 04:23:04 PM
A successful gamblers maybe we can say that they are  addict cause we all know that they will career Thier gambling cause they don't win if they don't care gambling or let say they don't win once they are quiting in gambling and maybe Thier perspective is that they want to persure Thier goals which is being a successful gamblers that's why they didn't stop  betting.

To avoid confusions, we ought to add another word after the "addict" so that it will not be misunderstood by someone who are reading our post as it will just lead to another argument thinking that you mean the opposite like a negative word when in-fact you are not. So, I can say that these successful gamblers are addicts, "addicted to winnings" because sure, they got their own losses as well but they made that as a lesson to lessen their mistakes and getting a much bigger chances of winning, hence why they are called by that name. The opposite of that, well, we already know what is the meaning for it, it's certainly a negative.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: September 16, 2023, 04:00:26 PM
Following your argument, it's true that after Inoue unifies all the belt from the previous division and manages to un-strip the current
champ from this new division, he gains lots of hypes and confidence.

While with Casimero, after being un-strip due to regulation, he's still trying to find that momentum to earn the position of being a title challenger.

They've got different position as of now, and we don't know if Casimero will have that opportunity to meet Inoue inside the ring.

I'm following Casimero's YouTube vlog and it seems that he is just taunting Inoue to fight but he is not so keen if the fight will happen or not, I mean he also got his own fight and make money out of it, the Inoue fight will just be a bonus of his career if they meet one day in the square ring fighting.

Casimero is not getting younger but he has his own money-making schemes like endorsement deals and business outside of boxing so I think if he can't fight Inoue that would be okay for him.

If it were only about the money, he could earn a decent amount. However, as a boxer, it's about achieving something significant before retirement. Just imagine if he could beat Inoue; that would elevate his name to the ranks of the greatest boxers in the lower divisions and open up opportunities for even bigger fights. I believe that if Inoue agrees to fight Casimero, he might ask the promoter to include a rematch clause in case he loses, giving him a chance to reclaim his title.

I agree in that part, Inoue will place that rematch claw to make sure that he will have that chance to regain his belts in case
Casimero upset him.

And also, in terms of career, beating Inoue is something that will be remembered trough out your career. Imagine the hypes that it will create.

So if Casimero will have that opportunity, it's better to leave everything that may prevent him from making it happen
and try to push for the fight to meet Inoue inside the ring.

And if Inoue will not secure a rematch clause against Casimero, then we already know why and that is because they are not viewing Casimero as a threat. We cannot blame them if they will choose that but in that case, they should be careful because anything can happen because if ever Casimero upsets him. Then I don't think he's in the right page to call for a rematch because Casimero is not obliged to give that to him, unless Casimero wanted that as well.
1233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learning from those who have experience on: September 16, 2023, 10:11:30 AM
Gambling can be very challenging when we have not made the right decisions for ourselves. So many people especially the newbies may think that gambling is a very easy activity but never it's not so. One need to pass through some rough time and if we are not careful, we can lost ourselves in the act. Those who think gambling is very easy and cool should go in fully and see for themselves what it is really all about. We need to make plans as a gambler or we are going to get lost in the process.
Experience from pro gamblers will aides us in most sectors of gambling, more like a step to step. Making plans not to end up like other worse gamblers that have liquidated their accounts due to the significant losses they recorded in gambling. I'm always exploring more options because I have no excuse to settle for losses, bouncing back to the system witn appropriate strategy. Gambling is considered an easy activity for some of us and complicated for most of us. We only tends to be on the safer side if we apply an effective gambling strategy and know our risks management.

Yes. The only way not to fall into gambling addiction is through having discipline as a gambler, and by learning from the different experiences from those who have been gambling for quite long. Although gambling addiction can be a tough one, but if you know your limits and priorities in life, for sure you will never end up with deep gambling addiction that may eventually ruin your life. However, if you can seek medical attention like most of the gamblers do, the earlier the better. Gambling is fun and also profitable at some point, but if you come to cross the limits, gambling will definitely become your life’s destructor.
1234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: September 15, 2023, 10:59:05 PM

As everyone's income is not the same that is different from each other, the percentage that needs to be spent depends on the individual's income and expenses. If someone with a good income spends 12 percent a week, it will not be a problem, but for a person with a low income, it will behave negatively. Already some users have suggested using 5 percent which is definitely a good percentage for gambling. If a gambler regularly spends this small portion of their income on gambling then their gambling will not affect their personal life.

Maybe in some countries, the standard of living is good, and people who work can earn a good income that allows them to lead a comfortable life. In such cases, it's easier for them to allocate a certain percentage for gambling. However, in poor countries where their income isn't even sufficient for a comfortable life, then they have no business gambling. In the end, it's not about the percentage but your capacity to gamble. I believe in the principle of gambling only what you can afford to lose, so if you can't afford to gamble, you should not venture into it.
Gambling is never an obligatory thing that one should actually engage in it. It’s an individual’s choice to gamble and to reserve an amount that you won’t be regretting once totally lost. However, for those who are only earning low income and have difficulty in making end meet, then do not pressure yourself to engage in gambling. Gambling can definitely wait, so do not be obsessed with it, and while you are busy thinking how to create luck and change your life’s status, just focus on looking for a stable job that will certainly put food on the table without relying on gambling on one side.
1235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ads for online gambling should be banned. on: September 15, 2023, 10:20:03 PM
As long as we are willing to look for and try ways that allow us to filter advertisements on the internet, we can block them. Perhaps we can set preferences on each of our devices, especially on our children's devices, so they don't abuse it and end up gambling.

And this is an obligation we have to do for our children so they can use their devices well. In this way, we can rest assured that our children can use their devices well, and we can also filter out advertisements that will appear later.
first of all, we have to consider how old our child is and if he is under 12 years old, it is quite easy because in certain countries, as long as the smartphone used is never used to search for gambling, I am sure that gambling advertisements will never appear in any media and another way, there are several social media that currently have features for minors, so as parents you can activate this feature so that advertisements sensitive to minors will be automatically blocked from these media.

but for children over 15 years old it will be a little more difficult because in this era of advanced technology, many young people know any way to access whatever they want, so the most appropriate effort is to always check and limit their children use of smartphone, even though it seems restrictive, but this is for the good because gambling advertisements are now mushrooming everywhere, even in countries where gambling is prohibited, advertisements will still appear on any social media.
That is right. As much as we want to protect our children from the harm that they can get from gambling, then as parents it is our responsibility to manage what’s been appearing in their smart phones so they won’t be attracted or influence by the gambling ads. Gambling is only suitable for adults since they have the means to control their gambling habit if ever. For minors, at least they should not be exposed on it so they won’t develop the urge to gamble at a very early age.
1236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: September 15, 2023, 05:13:52 PM
The primary aim of anyone who's gambling is to win his games and make very good financial profits from those winnings and that's why anyone who's involved in gambling will do anything possible to win his stakes.
I don't think it's sane to test anybody's integrity through how much the person cheats in gambling or not because definitely a gambler will cheat provided it'll guarantee his winning.

Not really mate, I disagree with that statement. Not all gamblers, just like you said, will do anything just to guarantee their winning, well that is somehow true but in the sense of improving the chance by thinking about it thoroughly and certainly not through cheating because apart from the fact that this is about money, what about the entertainment and spirit that should've been made while betting? It makes no sense anymore because you cannot enjoy your bets because you already know what will happen.

Also, there are gamblers who aren't really aiming to win. They are just regular bettors who are just there to blow off some steam and enjoy the game regardless of what will happen down the road. They just want entertainment and money is just a bonus for them.

Well now things can be as you say, not all players are willing to seek profits without having fun, there are many players whose greatest treasure is winning while having fun, of course there are also players who do not like the path or how it is done. What they do, they only care about Winning Whatever they want and getting money, and if they cheat, it doesn't matter to them, of course now there are many ways to catch those who try to cheat and it is not something very Notable that a player has that thought , because it is not the right thing to do , Normally these types of people are the ones who dedicated themselves to doing and looking for the vulnerabilities of the casinos and making an exploit of it, that's just what many players are waiting to do, personally I don't see life there, because casinos currently have a large security arsenal, so these actions they make are not Adequate, in the end the casino prevents them from being able to hack or abuse the system.

The best thing about a casino is having fun, it doesn't do Anything but that, I still don't see why some players always think about getting money in a bad way , Maybe that's not good at all, there's no better way to get money with it sweat of the brow, in this case when a player has put in a lot of effort, play and play, trying and trying, that is what is most rewarded, I think there is no other way, for me that is more valuable and that I can make a good Withdrawal , that is the main thing , that is why I have always said that one must always follow the rules so that everything is fluid , and if the casino refuses to pay honestly what was won, that is something Else, it is a fault that is assigned to the casino and well there is the right to fight , Otherwise I don't see that things can Affect, and also things when it comes to playing in casinos that are quite reliable, with a high reputation, well things change, because a casino Like that does not I would have no problem like That.

Well, isn't someone playing the moral high ground here? I'll be frank, your love for the value of true gambler and shunning the cheats is...touching. But let's not pretend that casinos are these innocent entities; their goal, like most businesses, is to profit. Yes, there are genuine players like you, who go in for the fun and leave with some life lessons (or losses). But remember, casinos aren't charity events; they're there to make money. Some people see that and play the game in return, testing the system's weaknesses. It's a cat and mouse chase. However, I'll give you this: playing fair and square does have its own rewards, though they might not always be the money  Tongue Tongue

It's up to the gambler if how will he decide on the opportunity that is given in front of him, considering that he found a loophole or weakness to the system. But we certainly cannot really say that every gambler will just turn a blind eye and just do the game fair and square because every gambler is different and there will be always that others that will take advantage of every hint just to get strong chances that will in turn make money for them. In the long run, it won't give them benefits but who cares, for them, it's a now or never world.

This Edwin De Los Santos can do as a replacement for Frank Martin and I think he's going to give Shakur Stevenson a pretty much good taste of how lightweight should be because this is also his chance to show the public what he is capable of instead of just being a nameless #5 boxer in the lightweight division.

Comparing their records, Edwin is decent enough to test Shakur in this division. The latter may have some advantage, of course, but I still think that this will be a good fight to see.

Meanwhile the Miami Heat and Nuggets were the strongest qualifying for the final to win the title and the Nuggets won and took home the NBA trophy.
The Miami Heat didn't start that strong and somehow, we didn't even expect them to reach that far because of how they started the season poorly. But they managed to turn the tides in their favor and had a good run in the post season until they faced the Nuggets in the Finals while upsetting the heavy favorites along the way, namely Bucks and Celtics.

For this season it seems like the Suns will still have difficulty getting to the top with the players they have even though there are Kevin Durant, Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal who always make big contributions in every Suns game.
Maybe yes or maybe no, either way, I think they can somehow make it work but it will be a challenge since they have a history of choking when it comes to a series game.

These tips can be very helpful especially for newbies. However, I always believe that there’s no such working strategies in gambling. Although there might be some tricks or techniques to limit your losses, but at the end of the day, you will realize that once you gamble, you are destined to lose. I think the only proven strategy in gambling is only gamble an amount you can afford to lose. As long as you’re not addicted to gambling, I think you are still capable to manage your expenses in gambling.
