Without a doubt a casinos like that will be in high demand, but we must not disregard the power of marketing, there are also some dishonest casinos out there which promote themselves in an intense manner all over the Internet which can get a lot of costumers to try their games, only to scam them in the end.

And with gambling getting more popular each day, it is as if there is an unlimited number of new costumers ready to gamble which are simply too naive for their own good, and decide to gamble in those dishonest casinos despite not having any of the characteristics which make a casino any good.
A casino can be perfect but how will the people discover and play on it? This is why marketing is important and is very powerful. There are so many ways to market a gambling site. It can be done here in the forum or on a marketing service outside. The dishonest gambling site you're referring to must be 1xbit because I can see them all over the place. I only feel sorry for those promoters and the people who thinks they are legit.

There are still wise people who will make a research first. Once we know the truth, it will be a good idea to spread the awareness about them and we can also report them to the gambling authorities so that they can not victimize other people in the future.

The match between Juventus and Inter Milan is always interesting to discuss. The two teams do have a long history of rivalry, so if there were several incidents in that match it was part of the seasoning for that match.

If you look at normal time, Juventus had to bow down because the victory that was in front of their eyes was shattered in the injury time minute due to Bremer's handball in the penalty box. Lukaku, who became the executor, did not waste this opportunity. However, after the equalizing goal was created, Lukaku made a silent gesture in front of the Juve tifosi, thus provoking the atmosphere on the field. And the referee also awarded two red cards to Inter players, namely to Lukaku and Handanovic, and one red card to Cuadrado from Juventus.
It's a biggest Italian soccer rivalry which is currently in favor of Juventus as in last four matches they won two and ended two into draw have another fiercely end of this match specially injury time drama bring back Inter into competition as we have second leg match on 27th April at San Siro Milan could be interesting because both teams are looking for better end of this season with Serie A title is not in reach and having this cup could be also good in 90 minutes game both teams were at same level even ball possession was in favor of Inter, but both were trying their best for having good end, but we have good drama in last 16 minutes with first goal by Cuadrado which give lead to Juventus, but injury time penalty bring Inter back and three REDCARDS now have their impact as well which is surely important even I have feeling still Juventus is capable of going into final and win the title in this season.

If you are lucky and you are using a system that helps to add confidence with your gambling the chance of winning huge can happen, as long as you are good in limiting yourself and following your set goals, the quicker you act with your winnings the better you can withdraw a good amount of profits.

Sometimes or most of the time greed also influences instead of using your luck you missed the opportunities by keeping pushing for more.
I didn't quite understand what system you are referring to as being a boost for the confidence of a gambler, but I agree that discipline and limitations can really put a gambler ahead of others, and patience too, of course. Knowing when to stop and withdraw if you have had a win is probably the best thing one can do on a gambling platform.

Those who don't act quickly and think they can multiply the amount they've won will surely face the consequences and will eventually lose it all again, so it's probably not wise to try your luck again if you have won a significant amount already as the house can win it back anytime if you allow it.
1264  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it risky to invest in new crypto coins/tokens on: April 04, 2023, 06:59:33 AM
all old coin which people are now trusting was first New coins. investing in new coins are not but the problem is that most of the coins has no back and no big devolping team and idea which lead them well for long time which cause failure of tokens. some token soon after listing and some coins remains for some time because of hype and trend.

New coins can give very good profit because big whales not entered in start. if we take entry and specific token make big partnerships then we will be in bug profit. before entering in new coins we should check the partnerships, Vc, listing cex and idea of project. If all these are good enough then i think its worth to take entry in new coins but we should wait for low rate despite of entering in Fomo
People still have a hard time on trusting the old coins when they first came out. Many thinks they are just scams. Many didn't hold for too long. This is why many people have regretted later on after seeing the coins value have pumped up a lot.

The little information of crypto in the past and as well as experience, makes it difficult to invest in newer coins but now, it's much easier. Many of us can now easily differentiate a scam from the legit ones but the rate at the legit coins spawn have also reduced by a big percent. I think that is because many of them have been released already. There are now plenty of coins in this market. They must stop creating new coins and people shall focus only on the existing ones.
1265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A crypto world without CEXs...How would it be? on: April 03, 2023, 06:23:25 PM
I think we'll find a way, like we always do. For years, crypto has faced challenges from many parties, but we're still here to survive and thrive. Beside, at the beginning, crypto was meant to be decentralized, so it is actually all about P2P trading and, later, DEXs. Although there is no doubt that CEXs played a significant role in the development of crypto, If major countries reject crypto and blockchain technology, there could be a risk of CEXs shutting down their operations, but the crypto industry is not solely dependent on CEXs. With the massive development of crypto and how big the industry became, I think many countries will also think twice before banning it; they probably will regulate it instead. By doing so, CEXs could then adapt to the regulations and survive.
What way? There is still DEX, hellow? And DEX was in fact the best and should be use the most by people because this symbolizes the true purpose of cryptos not CEX as it pushes centralization which are opposed to the main objective of cryptos. CEX will only be affected if it was established on the same country who banned crypto but if not then they can run fine though they will only remove the banned countries from their supported list.

It can still affect their income. Some countries don't really care about the achievement of crypto or if how big it was already but they only think about themselves. They will still ban cryptos no matter what.
1266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Skill Based Slot Machines on: April 03, 2023, 03:18:40 PM
Poker based rules to slot machine is one I've seen.   Not sure I'd call it skill based as its still not actual poker, only if you were playing other people also with that same model in a connected way perhaps.  Again I do think thats possible but havent seen it recently, not common so far as I know either.
That's effin cool. It was like you are playin two games at one. It does saves money and we also have the chance to double, triple, and so on.. our money easily because skills does matter in here. Anyone can be really good at any skill based game as long as they will dedicate enough time to learn and study how to take more advantage of the game. Each of us has sometimes has our own definition of skill games.

There are even some who treat a casino games like dice a skill game only because they can formulate a strategy with it but for me I don't consider it as one. As for you, you only consider a game a skill game if it's played by a player versus another player and not by a computer.
1267  Economy / Gambling / Re: British Horse Racing - With Prediction To Win on: April 02, 2023, 08:23:03 PM
I just remembered during high school that this game was illegal at this period of time. And now it was very rampant where anyone can play it online.

But its hard to predict in which number will going to win, due to this kind of gambling is not easy to play based on my experienced.
The outcome of a horse racing competition is definitely too hard to predict, and that is the reason why there aren't always too many people betting on them. Even in reality, only very rich people bet on horse racing and I don't know how they decide their bets, maybe they have experience and know which horse has a better speed.

I find it really difficult and something that I wouldn't bet on online since you can't really do much research about who would win and who wouldn't, so it's better if someone goes for another sport that is a bit easier to bet on and decide which side will be the winner.
1268  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: April 02, 2023, 06:19:59 PM
Thinking that the odds like 1.01 give you a 100% chance of winning is wrong in the first place because there is a small percentage difference and we all know that casinos and all their games have the house edge factor, so it should always be in one's mind that they can lose literally any bet, no matter the winning odds, and that's why it's better to set the base bet carefully.

I think it's not a small amount even for a billionaire. No one becomes a billionaire or ultra-rich overnight, so they definitely know the value of money, it doesn't matter how much they have or they spend, losing $1m in a single bet is still a lot.
Any chance of winning that has been analyzed in sports betting must consider the risk and the gambler must determine the betting limit, I don't care whether he is a billionaire or not but his betting strategy is not exemplary in gambling, he must suffer from the loss and do not accept the final decision of the losing bet , so don't ever bet all the funds you have but share some funds for small bets in some of your favorite gambling games.
You are right that one should determine their betting limit and evaluate the odds and everything, but those high rollers don't really care much about that. A couple of days ago, I saw a high roller in Stake playing a game with a base bet of over $14,000. It might not be a very big amount for some but for the general public, it's a lot of money.

So it basically depends on one's mindset and bankrolls too if what they consider to be an amount they can afford to lose. Maybe a base bet of $100 isn't a lot for me, but somewhere out there, it can be an amount one can use for a whole month.
1269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Skill Based Slot Machines on: April 01, 2023, 06:26:19 PM
based from the explanation of the article, i still don't know how it really works in actuality as i have never played one yet. when it comes to crypto casinos, i don't think they have this kind of slot machine already.
and definitely, there's still house edge on this game. casinos are here for businesss, so they won't just release a game that they will be bankrupt of.
Skill-based slot machines that are mentioned in the article given by OP are not yet available in online casino platforms and are currently only available at a few land-based casinos. They are not yet that much popular nor widely accepted and are just spreading around, and if they prove to be a failure, they will probably vanish from existence too.

It's pretty simple, you just keep spinning like a normal slot machine and then you get a bonus round (I don't know how it happens though) where you are given a skill-based game to play and you either get extra spins or multiplier based on the points.
1270  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you consider Bitcoin the best asset in the world? on: April 01, 2023, 05:18:54 PM
Many people think that real estate is the best asset, this is true because with the increasing population density and the never-ending demand for housing, real estate is really the best asset. But for me, bitcoin is the asset that gives me the most profit as well as a better life since I invested in it. Both are very good, so anyone with economic conditions should not compare but should diversify and should own both of these properties.
I've seen so many common individuals and celebrities who have invested in real estate so you might be right with that but I think investing in real estate is not easy, not instant and may require a bigger capital. Selling it is not also instant.

This is where Bitcoin becomes a better alternative, not only for real estate but also on other investment assets/instruments. Bitcoin's supply is also very limited which makes its price rise into a whole new level. No other assets including real estate can match it. If I were to diversify I will still pick crypto and I will only add some good altcoins or tokens in my bag. There is no need to look for other assets out there.
1271  Economy / Economics / Re: Bank loans and securities. on: April 01, 2023, 01:53:10 PM
Bank loans are really needed for economic development, without bank loans it seems difficult to make a business grow, and if we look at the current facts that many companies or businesses are very dependent on bank loans, I have worked in several companies and all companies where I work taking a loan and paying higher interest than for employee salaries.
What you are saying is true because this is what I noticed too. It's sad to know that employee's salary are low but we must still be thankful because if those companies didn't pay interest or took a loan, we won't also be there on their company working because they will never build or make their company grow.

There is nothing wrong with the bank loans as long as we have the ability to pay them. My family are not a company but we also took a loan because we are struggling financially. We are thankful that there are these loaning companies who allow us to borrow money to survive. My views towards them have changed because before I think they are bad and are only taking advantage of the poor.
1272  Economy / Gambling / Re: Kryptogamers Hive No KYC Casino on: April 01, 2023, 10:40:19 AM
Well, those people who blindly trust all the gambling sites with their KC data are doing a big mistake. Since their personal data have never been misused before, they do not know the consequences of it. I am not saying that anything bad may happen with them, but since they provide their KYC data to both reputed and non-reputed gambling sites, they are at high risk.

Will there be anyone who can say that his KYC data is not important and he can afford his data to be used in the black market? I guess no one will like this to happen.
It's not a mistake to give KYC to a trusted gambling site but there is still a risk because they can get hacked and the KYC will be stolen by the hackers. Your second sentence is true. I was careless enough about my KYC before but after researching more about it, I now understand the dangers that can happen to me once my KYC is compromised.

Now I am more careful and very picky if I will do a KYC or not. I just realized that the casino offered by the OP can also work as on chain. This is a good news for those who are looking for this type of betting. Now we know that not all of them have extinct. The only downside is that this casino only accept a few "not so known 'alts or tokens. It will be great if they can add more coins.
1273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Sports do you like bet apart from the the listed one here? on: March 31, 2023, 07:26:34 PM
It seems that it happens in sports that are not too well known so the competition is not as tight as in football where there are many unexpected possibilities, like in badminton we will rarely see the top players lose in the early rounds at least the top players will reach the quarterfinals so at the start a tournament will be very easy for bettors to make a profit by betting on top players but the profit is small because the odds are so low unless we do a multibet, but don't do that when it's past the quarterfinals because the battle is already fiercer and it is already more difficult the result will come out.
Most of the time, the sports that are not very popular like you mentioned badminton or any other game, people don't really watch them a lot so they don't even know who are the best players in those games and that is the disadvantage if one goes for betting on those games even if there can be countless opportunities of winning bets and parlays.

So I really find it wiser to just bet on sports that you have some experience about only to be sure that you know what you are doing unless someone is ready to sit and research about the not very popular game to find out who is the best player and how all of them play, etc. It's a time-consuming process but might be worth it.
1274  Economy / Gambling / Re: What else should an established crypto casino add? on: March 31, 2023, 06:56:16 PM
Some of the important aspects that you mentioned are definitely owned by established casinos so they don't need to add them anymore.
But not having KYC is not an aspect that most casinos have to do. We know that KYC is applied only to casinos that have certain licenses so that when a casino is licensed and requires KYC they cannot eliminate this KYC policy.
KYC has been an issue that has been debated for a long time and even until now no one has really been able to provide a solution to the KYC problem for gamblers who don't like KYC, while many large, trusted casinos with a good reputation will enforce KYC.
There's basically no solution for those who don't like doing KYC because as we move into the future, cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency gambling platforms are becoming more and more mainstream, take Stake as an example. When it was first launched, who thought that it would become the number one crypto casino and sportsbook which would have this many influential mainstream partnerships and all?

And since the casinos are getting more mainstream, there will probably be more regulations that will be necessary to everyone to comply with to be able to use those casinos. And with time, almost every casino will be that way.
1275  Economy / Gambling / Re: How succesful will AI projects be to win the house? on: March 31, 2023, 11:54:45 AM
Well. Putting it simple. If there is an edge, AI (and future AGIs) will find it. No doubt
The thing is we’ll probably move to a scenario where there is no edge at all on the games and in the long run the house wins.

Still possible to use AI to manage bankroll strategies and try to find an edge on some skill games
A long time ago many casinos have no house edge but they all didn't last long. House edge is where the casino owners earns a profit so they will always operate their casino with it. I don't think an AI can negate the effect of the house edge and if it's possible I don't think it will be released for public use because creators of those AI knew that it will only cause a trouble. It will only destroy the entertainment factor that casinos are bringing and I am sure they don't want that to happen too. Maybe AIs will only work like the gambling bots. They can still help us in some ways but not in an abusive manner where some parties can suffer badly.
1276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 30, 2023, 08:49:59 PM
Actually, this league is not really boring compared to other leagues, for example in Serie A there is more gap and in Bundesliga, we had always Bayern Munch in the first place. But this time is French League I guess PSG is closer to other teams considering the situation they have. They have got many superstar players in their team but still, there is only seven points difference between PSG and Marseille.
There is no doubt in this season we have good competition in few leagues but still PSG is dominating here with 7 points difference and Serie A is completely boring with Napoli is leading from front by 17 points but here in Ligue 1 we have big gaped of quality which needs to be settled but sadly other clubs are not capable of doing this because its needs huge funds and no one having luxury like PSG which is surely problem but with the limited sources and available quality things are good which are helping teams like Marseille, Monaco and Lens which are giving tough challenge to leaders for the title race.

But if we have some investment from these clubs then surely things could be more interested in fans of this league because this could be created good interested and competitive matches which will increase entertainment.
1277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Chinese Banks Welcome Cryptocurrency, as the USA cracks down on: March 30, 2023, 07:22:02 PM
i remember when china banned bitcoin last 2021, and now, it seems that table is turning upside down.
With the way the Chinese nation operates, it is unlikely that Bitcoin would be allowed to thrive independently and unregulated. They are foremost in the quest for a Government backed digital currency and have attempted to halt all crypto transactions and activities, terming them illegal.

I do not expect that it would become a Bitcoin friendly state at any time in the future, this could be a marketing strategy for their stable coins, a way to instill confidence in people to use it.
Let's see but I think it's still fine if they allow Bitcoin with some conditions. What is important for now is people on that country can use Bitcoin again and it will have a positive impact in the price of Bitcoin. I think they banned cryptos before for some reasons and not that their government is creating its own digital currency but this is unavoidable and even on some countries where crypto is not banned, it's also happening.

It may have an impact with crypto but not too much since both of them are still different. For a country to be called Bitcoin-friendly, they may need to have a legal tender status of BTC first and have created Bitcoin cities and Bitcoin hubs.

I understand this and see that forgetfulness through every market cycle, but generally not everyone will see and be skilled enough to master this skill in the market.

Risk and return will still exist, nothing is completely true with the current volatile market, so I don't want to impose more than one formula or pattern that only gets us stuck with your investment.
They won't see it if they don't make constant researching on how to improve their trades and how they will know if they can't handle it if they themselves won't try it? We better not judge our ability first only with our instincts and if ever we fail at our earlier tries, we can continue trying again and again. I am sure that time will come will now be able to master it. The key is to not give up and lose hope easily.

Volatile market in crypto is true. Can you see the ups and downs in the price? There is nothing wrong in implementing more than one or two strategies but they are in fact beneficial because we can switch on them when the market switches on the other side.
1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 30, 2023, 03:16:02 PM
The french ligue 1 has two tittle contenders PSG and others. PSG has dominated the french league in the last 10 years and they have won it 8 out of 10. But when it comes to europe they are no where to be found, their most desired trophy, the champions league trophy is always out of their grasp yearly no matter how much the spend in the transfer market.

They have sought the services of different mangers to make this dream a reality but none have been able to deliver their most desired trophy. I think they will have a great shot at winning the champions league if they can clinch the services Zinedine Zidane. He's well experienced and his records in the tournament is remarkable.
In last one decade we have two leagues in Europe dominating by two teams with PSG at Ligue 1 and Bayern Munich at Bundesliga but in current season we have tough challenge for the Bayern Munich with currently Borussia Dortmund is leading by one point but sadly here things are same because no other team having consistency like PSG for challenging them even Marseille and Monaco are also improving but not as we have expectations from them in current season PSG is also having some issue regarding their form.

But after 28 rounds they are still leading by seven points which is clearly giving impression how strong they are so if someone want to challenge them then surely they need to improve their quality and having few top ranked players are important as well which needs big investment so if we have something improved then surely we can expect some better competition otherwise PSG is not going to have any challenge in domestic league with their dream of Champions League is also needed good strategy and well experienced coach.
1280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 30, 2023, 01:58:29 PM
After failing about their Champions League target once again I wonder if PSG would have a problem on keeping some of their stars in the summer. I don't know maybe I'm exaggerating the situation but they have been targeting the same title for many seasons in the end. Even after completing an incredible attacking trio like Messi-Mbappe-Neymar they are still unable to get even close to the title. Their performance against Bayern Munich wasn't good enough I'm afraid.

I think this would depend on if they sign the right manager for this team. For now Messi intends to take his time before making a decision about his future. Maybe Mbappe wouldn't leave already but I'm not sure about Neymar. Because there have been rumours about Neymar as well.
Winning trophies in UEFA is now never been easy because for this we need complete package and PSG is having good squad but sadly never been ideal coach with their few inner politics is also never been helpful for having things which are important for the win of Champions League there is no doubt they have one of the best attack in soccer world with Messi, Mbappé and Neymar but sadly in last few years things never been ideal for them which bring success in UEFA, so now it's time for Qatari owners sit and think about their mistakes with having good coach and squad may be help them but for this foremost they need a discipline team as well which is the most important part of success.

Now next season is surely going to be important because we have too many rumors about their future with few stars are looking for the leave of club so how they will handle this all and can they bring ideal coach it's all going to clear in June because this is going to be important if they want to win Champions League in near future.
