As a gambler,I know that we have done so many mistakes in the pass base on our bets and wrong strategy or calculations that we have done which led to losing the game that was suppose to make you win big. I want to use myself as an example,I love sportbet and I bet more on it. Last months I placed my bet on 7 games that was to be played for two days. When the 5th game was played,all matches came out as predicted and I was called by the casino,to offer me a cash out of $200 in my local currency and I refused it because if the other two games was played and the I got the predictions right. I will win $1200,so I turned the offer down. The painful part of it was that the two games were to kick off on the same time,and after the games,my prediction for the two games was wrong. I felt so bad because I allowed greed to control my emotion. For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.
Greed is good if you know how to harness it. Unfortunately for us gamblers it's something that we can't really be expected to do especially those of us that are either gambling for profit or chasing a win goal for some reason. I've been like this in the past too, counting all my losses and using it as a reference of how much I need to win tomorrow to break even and all that. I couldn't bag any win I acquire cause I always have to bet on it again to chase bigger wins, and on days that I was able to break even, I still push through to get wins and a positive win rate so I can bag some profits but as you guys know, I didn't and what ended up happening is that I lost more than what I gained in the process. It's pretty common for us to be subjected into this, it's almost some sort of a rite of passage sometimes. |

I didn't encounter any issues with them in the past, So it might be something that's bugged in their system leading to this or perhaps a problem with your payment processing. Best to actually just contact them instead. Although judging by the amount of money you're trying to withdraw from them and it having no issues with them since they didn't ask for any KYC or whatever during that period, it might've been something wrong with your bank. It would be equally smart to contact them as well regarding this issue as most often than not they'd have records of every transaction coming in and out of your account regardless of if it went through or not. Update us too if something comes up so issues like these can be raised to the concerning authorities and casinos.

Almost expected it. Not really surprised. As what most people here have already said. KYC is the meta amongst casinos due to jurisdictions and in the name of following the law and continuation of its service to the public, Freebitcoin will be forced to implement KYC. I think it's only fair, I've lost a couple of accounts in their site in the past and got a few of my deposits stolen too which is a lapse on my part I know, but with this new KYC mechanic it may become harder for hackers and scammers to steal my stuff you know? Worse comes to worst all we'd have is just a few minutes of irksome KYC processing, so I think this is a win-win. It's been a minute since Freebitcoin implemented massive changes in their system anyway so this is more than welcome at least to me.

It’s sad to see this project of won’t continue anymore since you seems honest on developing your game. The only problem was there’s only low demand for live roulette games since there’s tons of them on other live game provider like evolution which has low players too for their roulette category. If only you manage to add different games aside roulette, I think you have a chance to get some popularity here.
I’m just concern on the sustainability of the live feed for this roulette. Seems like you are the only one who program those cctv or get that live feed from that casino. What will be the setup in case this will be transferred to the new owner. How can he assure that live stream will never be interrupted? Will you offer lifetime support for the sustainability of the website since this casino is relying only on live video provided by that unknown casino.
In the grand scheme of things this is the best thing that they can do. Some projects aren't even as lucky as them as to be able to sell their source code. As for the setup once the ownership was transferred to the buyer, I think they won't be the one to provide live feed for roulette anymore? Since it doesn't make sense that they'd still be the people who'd provide live feed with the delays in transmission and all that once the transfer process pushes through. But what do I know lol I'm not the one operating the roulette anyway. your casino was launched on the 24th of february, that means it has already been running for 4 months, in my opinion it would be good if you could put details in this thread of how much money more or less your casino will need for marketing or what is the price of your casino , you could also post in this thread a summary of how these 4 months that your casino has been operating were, what were the biggest obstacles your casino had to face, what were the profits and losses (you don't need to talk about exact value, but at least you can talk about an estimated amount of profit and loss you had )
another important point that I think you had to mention in this thread is about the operational costs that you are having with the casino, when talking about all this people will be able to better analyze whether or not it is worth just putting money in your casino, how much profit and how long to make a profit they can wait, this is all very important to mention when you are looking for a partner or person to help you, at least that is my opinion, I wish you luck
That's good advice right there, maybe even urge some angel investors out there to help them out and fund the project for them beyond just the marketing budget that's needed you know. Best if NakamotoRoulette could advertise themselves on other channels beyond bitcointalk to reach more people, I hear Twitter's pretty good with connecting projects with investors. |

Whole month's almost over, the least you could do is to supplant proper text to your website instead of fillers so the people who'd stumble upon your site would know what they are dealing with. (I haven't read about your issue regarding a dev leaving you for good without finishing his work, I'm sorry). In any case if you're looking for someone capable of creating and managing sites for you this forum will not have any scarcity of that. The dev you're working with is a total asshole as this template's been used for other projects already and he probably never told you about this too.
What bugs me more though is how did you come up with cry-ex? what does it mean? it's not a cryptocurrency exchange for sure and that's what's on top of my head right now. If you could shed light on this cause it intrigues me and it's probably going to be a problem for you too cause some people may assume that this is a joke site for people that are still not over their exes (and I say this with absolute seriousness).

Nothing new, people want to beat the system which is doing illegal things one of example is cheating to the gambling casino, we know how people are knowledgeable into computers especially with bots, and other formats or ways just to by pass the current system but of course the developers not called as developers if they cant see this hole in their system that might abuse by the players reason why some of the accounts came from cheaters and abusers getting freeze because of their illegal activities. They see gambling as easy money because of their knowledge but of course at the end there's a consequences of doing this kind of act.
Yeah, I agree such developers and gamblers always look for loops in the algorithms of the casino and then use such holes for gaining an advantage against the house. It is a matter of time to get the attention of the casino developers who gonna freeze account activity and maybe sue the user for such illegal activity. Anyways, nowadays casino managers do bug bounties for findings possible vulnerabilities and they send big rewards to the hunters, AFAIK. It is better to use dev skills on the related industries, IMO. There's a difference between abusing or using a found flaw in the game and actively wearing the inner workings of the game for the sake of a guaranteed win. With the latter I can't stand by cause it's just a crime at that point and it ruins the integrity of the game. The dilemma only follows people who have found a flaw, not those who actively made it within the system for their personal benefit. If I ever see one close by I'd be telling the guards on them or the whole gambling site nevermind being called a snitch or a rat. First and foremost you shouldn't gamble for profit and should only gamble for fun. If I see you actively deteriorating the integrity of the game just so you can bag some win that's going to be a different story buckaroo. |

It is quite sad to see even people here, in the bitcointalk forum where you are already in the high tech world for people who are usually young and more developed and smart to be able to do crypto trading, end up showing so much hatred towards them...
I would not say that it is specially surprising, since in this forum and in the gambling section we can find both people from open-minded and tolerant societies and also people who come from societies which are highly intolerant towards others who may have a different sexual preferences from them. It is a matter of fact that on the internet, does not matter how far you go, there will always be users who have a contrary point of view. Besides, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole have been turning into technological tools which are not relegated to gambling and tech-savvy people only. People from older generations in developing countries have found Bitcoin to be useful to preserve their money, even if they do not share the values of personal freedom which are often associated with this ecosystem. I guess that's just the curse of having an open channel to voice out your opinions and all that, but in my opinion just cause it's happening doesn't mean that it's normal. Not trying to be PC here but people on the spectrum are genuine human beings with feelings and sentience, sometimes more than us that are cisgender lol, so the least we could do is to reciprocate respect if given to us you know. I've had friends in the LGBTQ+ group tell me that they are mostly prejudiced in the crypto scene, with most of them made fun of in live events and all that all because of how they present themselves, same goes with casinos which is the main topic of this discussion anyway. This is just saddening to say the least and I would keep on saying it, that just because a lot of people do it doesn't mean it's normal and we should condone it. |

How pathetic!
Pathetic right? But these things happens. Perhaps not in the same way but,once therr wasn't any pre-agreed sharing formula amongst gamblers, there would always be one person who would sort out means to cheat the other with some entitlement argument like we have in OP. In the real sense, it's wrong of the account owner to seek a lion share in this as, it wasn't agreed upon, the risk was equaly shared and as much as they would have had to carry equal amount to a lose, same ideology should follow instances of profit. I don't see a reason why i would go physical while gambling as my model for gambling is very simple although, I would hate to discover that I was being cheated on a good bet. Heat of the moment more likely. Us men however we deny it are susceptible to drastic measures when we're desperate and backed into a corner, sometimes (as in this case of the fucking idiot who thought it would be actually nice to dupe a fellow gambler off of his fair share of win) we even cause these drastic situations to come around. But the thing is, most of us right here wouldn't even dare get into fights like these let alone get into an interaction that would lead to an altercation of sorts. Dare I say we don't even have friends to do this with cause we're either embarrassed to barge them into this thing/hobby of ours, or we just suck at socializing, so while this is a general possibility through and through, I don't think this is something that happens everyday. |

While I love both fighters and see them as the new face of boxing after Pacquiao's fall into grace lmao. I gotta hand the preemptive win to Tyson Fury this time. Francis is a fucking powerhouse I give him that, he's a tank that could take punches and give the blows back twice as hard if not more, but Tyson is a better fighter through and through and provided that he doesn't get smacked in the face by a pain-packing punch he's going to win. There's a lot of win conditions for Fury and only one for Ngannou, plus he's lost his charm all these years for some reason and now I don't think he's as confident about his abilities as he was back in the day. Tyson still has a long way ahead of him and he's probably still not in his prime (although I say this with a full clenched fist of salt in a hand).

Gambling gambling gambling everywhere there are gamblers everywere either online or shops and some gamblers are not happy to be one because they are addicted to it, now come to the present day question, how do you feel after making a stake? People on these forum mostly gambling board, lot of people here do say we should use spare money to make a bet (stake) but we all know that there is nothing like a spare money if people save money for future use I don't think a well thinking person will also save money for gambling, I think everybody who gambled sometimes does not know when they are in a gambling shops, just imagine you're about to check your past bets and you find your self about to stake another, please don't see it the other way round.
So if you use our saved money to stake a bet, what really comes next to your mind? I will like us to talk about this.
Who say's we're saving money for gambling? Lol that's not the point of "gambling only what you can afford to lose" you literally only gamble with what's in excess out of your pocket and not dedicated a bankroll on it or something cause that in itself is grounds for becoming addicted to gambling. I don't know about the other peeps in this forum but I never go so far as to dedicate money from my budget to fulfill my gambling habits cause that's just stupid and excessive. For the most part I don't feel anything about it, no regret or remorse cause at the end of the day, it's money that I willingly spent and something that didn't come out of my savings or whatnot. |

How do you define financial stability for yourself? Do you believe that there's a thing as too much money? With what kind of income would you be satisfied and felt successful, at least in the sector of finances. Is it the more, the better?
The subject of money in particular is controversial, speaking for myself, I'm working a regular job, getting paid above average each month, while also doing some online work such as signature campaigns and staking coins on various platforms. I'm making enough money to make ends up and on the plus side, setting aside a decent sum of money from my salary, as well as any other amount earned online, is set aside as savings.
While in particular, I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of money I'm earning, I definitely wouldn't mind earning 10% or 20% more, I'm not sure though, if I'd say the same even if I supposedly received the previously mentioned raise, which is falling to the category of, the more, the better.
However, the general idea is that I'm currently okay, if I were to pursue something in life, in terms of money and finances, it'd be to make enough money to make ends meet and have a decent amount of purchasing power, while at the same time, having a savings account. This is something that as a 23-year-old student I've managed, but I have a pretty long way to go.
What's your take on this?
To me, Financial Stability is achieved when you get into a point in your money journey where money is no longer going to be a problem for you. You could comfortably buy anything you want or finance anything you desire like a new car or a house without getting negative'd, and most of all have something for yourself when shit hits the fan and you lose your main source of income. Most people think that to be Financially stable you had to be filthy rich, without knowing that there's pseudo-levels to it lmao. - Financially-Free: Able to get what you want without worrying about your utilities.
- Financially-Stable: Able to support whatever you want, while remaining secure for when times get rough and you lose your source of income/profit.
- Financially-Capable: Get wealthy and be able to virtually anything that money can buy and more, and still have enough to buy the same kind of stuff over and over again without becoming poor. It also helps if you have an immutable money-making source/plan that's helping you with lining your pocket everytime you make a purchase!

Inflation is really biting hard, and nobody is doing anything about it, should we all just go with what Tupac said, "that's just the way it is, things will never be the same".
A lot of person's have ascribed this global inflation to the crisis Rocking Ukraine and Russia, a lot of person's have also said it's as a result of shortage of gas supply across Europe and other countries.
The whole story is not just clear, as to why inflation is biting so hard and IMF AND WORLD BANK are not doing anything about it and the people are just left to face their fate alone.
The prices of goods and services are constantly going astronomical high and there is no hope insight of this ugly situation coming to a halt.
The purchasing powers of citizens are getting weak and I don't understand if the consumer protection laws are even effective anymore this days.
You buy something for a certain amount today, in the next one week, that same item you bought has charged Prince without any reason.
How are you guys pulling it through with this inflation?
I see where you're coming from, good thing for you cause you have savings to use when times get rough compared to most people out there raw-dogging life without any form of safety net against this dangerously expensive world. But no point in pointing fingers about who's got it worse cause in my opinion, we all share the same problem, we just feel it differently. Getting off to a tangent here but what I'm trying to say is that, what I did to help save myself from the underlying dangers that inflation would cause to my savings is well, save in other forms of assets. For instance, a lot of us here had put up their savings into cryptocurrencies and precious metals like gold and silver. I myself did that to avoid impermanent loss. Some of us went all-in on investing and ditched the savings part to maximize profits (which I will not suggest unless you're a baller and you have enough money lying around to help you when times get rough). But all in all, it's more than enough sometimes that you're saving. |

Data analysis by kaiko shows that the XRP token currently have a higher trade volume in comparison with Bitcoin the data shows that XRP leads with 21% and Bitcoin 20%, the catalyst behind it's growth since last week was caused by the legal battle won by Ripple against the US SEC
Despite XRP taking the lead on trade volume, Bitcoin is still the the greatest coin with its current price over $30k and Ripple $0.73, by comparison the price of Bitcoin is way too vast for dethronement
I still believe Bitcoin is the best coin ever and will continue to soar higher till there is nothing to dethrone or compare
Trade volume for Bitcoin is a little low, but market cap will say whether the coin is leading or not. As for bitcoin with its less than 600 billion dollar market cap, carrying the whole industry with it by the way by constituting approximately 60% of the whole crypto industry's market cap, it will remain king for a while. Also need to consider the fact that a good reason why people aren't trading bitcoin anymore is because they saw fit to instead save and hold it! Which in most cases is more profitable than exchanging it for an altcoin with a lower market cap! So when you say bitcoin is going to be dethroned in trading volume people wouldn't be surprised, it's how they intended it to be anyway. With market cap however, that is going to be a rather different and improbably story. |

I'm guessing since they are essentially just fiat in digitized/tokenized form the government still would have enough access and responsibility to manage your money in certain occasions. For one, such as what has happened in the past with criminals holding massive amounts of wealth, their money and assets were pooled into the national treasury instead to amp the taxpayer's money and basically promise to fund projects that will better the common person's life. Of course we know where the money goes but it's one of the possibilities wherein the government can seize control of your money, be it fiat or CBDC. I can't really think of any other reason or way a government could take control of your funds and money other than as a result of criminal liability. But for the record, CBDCs aren't absolved of this and just like their paper money counterpart, they can be controlled too.

While in the past word-of-mouth and testimonials stood as one of the best way you could sell your product, I believe those days are gone now cause marketing is sometimes even more important than the product's quality and purpose itself. Just look at NFTs like Bored Ape, do they have any unique feature or use case that sets them apart from other NFT projects in the space? No. As a matter of fact they are cut and dry shit NFTs with no real value to provide for their users, but they got into the millions price range cause they went ham on marketing their NFTs to the point that even celebrities and famous icons bought and held their Bored Ape NFTs for long.
I'm not saying you should stop creating good products all together and just focus on how you market your shit, if you do that you'd get into a lot of trouble and you might even risk getting boycotted by your buyers, level the marketing effort you exert with the quality of the product you're creating, and watch it succeed.

I see poverty as the inability to provide what you need. So when people assume that poverty is when you don't have money I don't agree. Now what if you have all you need and you don't require money to buy anything, are you poor? Some people live in communities where everyone lives agrarian life. They have all they need because everything they need to survive is available. Food is on the farm, water available and everybody is happy. Although it was hard during the Covid-19 lockdown many people lived without money. I have also seen many people leaving cities and moving to rural areas to live a natural life.
In summary when you have everything you need to survive and you don't need money, are you poor?
Poverty was born out of a currency-based society, you're basically talking about people who are well-off to provide for themselves, which ironically was still achieved through surprise-surprise, purchase of land for your agrarian argument, and whatever leverage for everything else. Now you might be asking, what of the people who moved to rural areas then? Well they moved cause stuff was cheaper in the countryside, and that once again, was brought about by the argument of money. Funny how you mentioned the COVID-19 Pandemic too, cause that's basically what poor people had to live with for most of their lives, not being able to buy anything and go anywhere, stuck in their dilapidated houses cause they're either unemployed, laid-off, or they couldn't acquire employment for whatever reason. You only think they are able to get by because everyone's in the same boat but honestly speaking, especially in the Philippines the poor people during the pandemic had it worse. it's fine to think that people could live without money, however, be careful not to discredit the struggles that people who live in poverty face on a daily basis all so you could prove that "poverty is not just about money". |

I want to start a discussion highlighting some points I read online regarding women as compared to men in entrepreneurship and the chance of success.
Men and women do not prepare for the launch of their business in the same way. The number one preparatory activity for women is specific training (43.3% versus 31.8% for men). Men are looking for potential clients (45.8%) and writing a business plan (42.5% versus 34.6% for women).
Market research is carried out by about 1/3 of men and 1/4 of women.
Women entrepreneurs are much less experienced than their male counterparts: 37.5% have less than 3 years of experience versus 25.7% of men.
82.5% of women start businesses alone (compared to 69.8% of men)
Men consider that they are more entrepreneurial than women (84.7% of men against 72% of women)
Men have much more confidence in the future than women (48.2% of women vs. 64.7% of men)
Men are clearly more confident in the success of their company than women: 72.4% versus 65.3
There are far more unemployed women than men among entrepreneurs: 25.9% versus 16.9
Women are 3 times less likely than men to have already tried the adventure of creating a business: only 5.3% of women had already created a business against 18.4% of men
As a result of the difficult economic times, do you consider that there will be more women entrepreneurs competing with men in this field which it so looks like they currently dominate? https://www.intotheminds.com/blog/en/entrepreneurship-differences-women-men/ While I want to be optimistic and say that the hard times temper the best people in the industry. It's worth noting that the odds are stacked against women too. The fact alone that most of them couldn't get the pay grade they deserve let alone be given jobs above clerical work is insane and is something that I see is what causes these people to go unemployed before starting their own business. Plus you also have to take into account that women most of the time are given more house responsibilities than male, which leads them to lose their jobs cause between caring for the house, the husband and the kids, going to work and then starting your own business, they won't have a life to live anymore. I hope the system changes to be more favorable to everyone who wishes to make a name for themselves but it's misogynistic and capitalistic you couldn't really fight your way through unless you exert every ounce of your strength and will power to your craft. |

Can you really blame them though? The prospect of profit is not enough a reward. People nowadays would much rather receive immediate gratification than delayed ones, which is something that cryptocurrencies are good at. Plus you also have to consider the fact that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are in hot water right now after the numerous crackdowns that governments from US and beyond are making which definitely do not sit well with the average joe who doesn't know what cryptocurrencies are besides what he can see on the news.
In any case, we're sitting pretty nicely on our little boat right now, Rome wasn't built in a day as one guy in this thread said, proper campaigning and movements are more important than surge of users that are in here for the profit. We need people who would stay, not people who's here during bull runs and then gone as soon as the first sign of dumping comes out.

Actually, I'm always experiencing event like this even before but I just decided to post this here to find if other user experience this kind of bullshit bad luck situation. I'm playing on evolution gaming most of the time and I have a game like this which I lose consecutively even if I change table or stay. I'm still lose or draw whenever I have blackjack or 20 while the dealer hand is 6,5,4,3 and 2. What really surprising is they always get a lower card to get a perfect 21 or 20 to beat me or draw. I'm not telling they are rig but this kind of bad luck is really sucks to experience and make me loss my appetite to gamble more. I decided to immediately stop my game since I knew that this will continue while my temper will be very bad in long run. Never really had a bad experience with them when I was playing back then, and even the losses didn't really strike to me as them stacking the odds against me if you know what I'm saying. I would say it's all just in the luck of your draw as well as your strat too. I would highly suggest you lessen changing seats and all that cause blackjack, more than a card game is a game of maths, and you switching seats and all that (at least in my opinion) ruins your best chances at getting the win you want. Plus it even aggravates you cause you're out there thinking you're changing something to give you better odds only for you to be miserably disappointed when it didn't work on your favor. Or you can take a breather just like what you're trying to do now. That works too. |

Are you holding fiat? Do you not know that if you are holding fiat, it is like your government are scamming you, although it is not a scam, but it is a means to lose money as your fiat money lose value and unable to buy what you can use it to buy before.
Likely you have your emergency money in your local fiat too. You said emergency, which means it should be used for inconveniences time and for emergencies. You supposed to use your emergency money, not that you should sell you property that may increase in value, although I am just saying that because some properties like land, metals, jewelries and many others like that can increase in value.
It is better not to hold money in your local currency, bitcoin is still not that high, you can buy it instead. Ones the price is high very well and you have gained, you can convert some to dollar or other good foreign currency which are better than many fiat from countries like Venezuela, Lebanon, Sudan, Argentina, Zimbabwe, Turkey and many other countries.
Bro really out here defeating all the financial advisors on the planet lmao. Holding Fiat is a little out there you know, you got to be specific. For instance saving your money in the bank is considered holding fiat, and I dare say saving your money even if it's in fiat form isn't really that bad to be honest. You're also a little idk man. Your emergency funds are called emergency funds for a reason. You don't use them just cause your financial advisor asked you to invest your money on something. It's not money that is meant to be invested or be used to gain profits. It's literally there to be your safety net for when times get rough. I would much rather prefer OP using his assets as those can be reacquired anyway and who's to say he doesn't have assets that are easily recoverable? That way he doesn't have to spend his saving grace just so he can fund his investment? Cause I'd never go out there investing what's supposed to support me if shit hits the fan my guy. I'd much rather sell my other assets instead. |
