1301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: November 14, 2023, 07:16:21 AM
~
It's good that you are honestly sharing about your losses. Those who want to gamble should expect possible losses too. That's why it's very risky to take Gambling as a major income, unlike with any regular job, you can lose while "working". But I like your position on this issue: although earning from gambling yourself you are not encouraging anyone to follow you. What works for you, might not work for another gambler, and you take this into account.
There are no two same people in the worlds. No one can make the same thing. And i often make bets during the match, so i can`t fast predict the result and odds.
As for me - trading looks the same with the sport betting - we try to predict the result, using some skills. But the gambling is just for fun and trading is a job. It is strange enough.

Trading is very similar to gambling, I agree with you on that. Especially if we compare trading with sports betting. That's why trading too shouldn't be a major income for some people. I personally know a guy whose "job" is to trade crypto currencies. Luckily for him his wife is very wealthy, and it's nothing for then that he loses several thousand USD each year with his "job". If you ask me, this guy would better be trading for fun. Smiley

I would say if you have 600k, not telling anyone about it would be a smart choice to be fair. If you put all of that into bitcoin, and just slowly spend it, I can say that in my nation that is good amount of money to live forever and not end. You could get some interest on it, and bitcoin could go up, so if you spend something like 2k per month which is a lot in my nation, that is 300 months, by logic 10 years is 120 months, so it's 240 months for 20 years, and 300 is 25 years.

That means you get 25 years worth of money already, maybe not enough for your entire life if you are young, but bitcoin will go up so you are going to get a lot more and that means it should be enough for your retire life. You will not have to work a single more day in your life if you could just ignore all the need to tell others and just stop yourself and keep it a secret. Just make them think that you have an online business that makes 2k a month and that's it, forever.

I don't know if it's possible for anyone to win that bid and don't tell anyone. I think it's a big part of your winning: telling others about it. We are social creatures, we can't keep it to ourselves, be it a big win or a big loss. Just think carefully of to whom you tell it, but it's impossible to not tell anyone.

This is why it is very important for us to learn to manage our finances, know when to stop betting and know how to spend money from gambling more wisely.

If someone won millions from the lottery, say, 5 million, and spent 4.5 million "just to have fun", as you said, I personally don't see anything wrong with that. Imagine it was a rule: only if you won big money, you can spend it on yourself, or, on anything you want. Only in that case, the case of winning a huge amount. Otherwise you should just work and spend money on your family. We would have millions of happy families, wouldn't we? Unfortunately, people don't have any money and they borrow it and spend "just to have fun". And that's a problem.

One of my best memories was winning and receiving pretty fast those jerseys and scarves from Sportsbet.io



It happened in a relatively short period of time and that's why it was doubly pleasant. I gave one jersey to my friend, and it's "My best t-shirt ever!" as he says.

And I'm wearing my best t-shirts and scarves from Sportsbet.io till this day, although it was two years ago when I won them, ’cause I use them only on special occasions. Smiley

Thank you and Congrats, Sportsbet.io!

Wow , did not have this in Mind you have given me a best act towards participants in which I mostly love the outcome but yes let us be the judge if not partaking , like you I have limited time now because of personal things (having my Son have married so yes  busy father here) will keep an Eye in all roobet contest and will award those artworks that will satisfy my taste specially in Hand drawn category that i truly love.thanks for sharing thought mate will do the same as yours.

You are welcome, mate.Yes, if we have no time/skill to participate ourselves, let's be the judges then. Smiley After all, merit is a valuable prize too. I had never made it to the prizes in Roobet art contests, but I did earn some merits from my participation and it' definitely better than nothing.

~ Launching a token is not difficult, it's easy and scammers do it with thousands of scam tokens without any value for community. Roobet team only have to think very carefully about tokenomics for their token. It's headache. I hope to get an answer from Roobet's representative in Bitcointalk about this idea.

I think running a casino and making your own token are two different things. Roobet is very successful in casino business, so,  why should they be bothered with tokenomics? What are the possible benefits of that in your opinion?
1306  Economy / Gambling / Re: Evolution — report for Q3 (HOW THEY EARN THAT MUCH?) on: November 13, 2023, 10:48:20 AM
~ But some casinos do sometimes take it too far and lower your odds of winning even more without giving you notice, but this will usually only happen to unregulated casinos which have their headquarters in some corrupt third world country. Luckily, with some DYOR, that can be easily avoided.

It's forbidden by regulators to do it. A company of the level of Evolution will certainly not lower your odds without a notice. There so many regulated casinos that I don't know why some people are still playing on unregulated ones. Is it the "profitable games" they are attracted to? Unbelievable bonuses? It's their own fault they are scammed then.
1307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: November 13, 2023, 10:11:22 AM

Trump is not likely to be the president while being in prison, actually, he is running for his second term because he knows that being the president of the United States will likely save him from having to step into a federal prison in the short and midterm.
Also, it is very likely prosecutors won't have much of a case to keep the president in a cell.
Even if procesutor lawyers tried to wait for Trump to end his second term before enforcing the sentencing, I bet Trump will try to build a strong case during those 4 years in power, in order to never pay for the alleged crimes he committed.

Trump is no doubt a leading candidate now(among gamblers)



and I'm not going to argue whit that. It's a fact. How long will it last? We'll see. I personally don't think Trump can win, but from now on I stop saying "Don't bet on Trump", I think it's ridiculous in the current situation.

The USA would only ashame itself if they allowed someone to run the presidency from a cell during 4 years, how would be Trump even able to meet with other leaders in that position, as a inmate?

That's why I asked is it even possible for a President to run from jail. It's something I can't imagine.
1308  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: November 13, 2023, 09:33:31 AM

Yes it's a very good suggestion but I would not fully say that it will work because of course there are still some of us who are quite difficult in managing finances in life or even in gambling, but yes honestly I agree with your suggestion, management will always be the best and main thing in any case it is especially money management, because of course if we do not have it then we will not be able to balance between expenses and income. So if you really feel that this gambling activity only causes a lot of financial problems in your life then in my opinion there is no longer the best way to stop and avoid it, yes I understand it is difficult but that does not mean it is impossible friends, you can do it slowly by trying to reduce the budget at each of your next gambling sessions, after all this is also nothing more than a profit - profit activity, meaning that if you are for then you will win, so therefore it does not matter and it is better for us to put just enough money.

Reducing the budget of your gambling sessions is a good start. Some people can't do that because they are  addicted already, but if you feel you have the strength to do it without external interventions, you should try to do it.

Do not be willing to borrow money just to gamble, it is not recommended, and also I think there are many examples that can be used as examples that those who borrow money end up in debt and experience many problems. That's right, the fact is that there is absolutely no way to get a win, so it's better to prevent it from now on, that's all.

I would argue with that statement. Anyone can win, and win big, but the thing is that it's just a bit less likely than to lose, so, it's stupid to count on win. No one can forbid us to be stupid sometimes if we like, but that's only for entertainment purposes. Do not gamble because you don't have sufficient money.

Investing in real estate and business must have a high threshold of funds to start developing real estate or business, but cryptocurrency investment is a different thing that cannot be compared with any business because everyone can start investing with unlimited capital according to the funds allocated for investment crypto portfolio.

Dominant crypto investments tend to be preferred higher than real estate and business investments, they have generated huge profits from the impact of the current market bulls and other profits will come in the next bullish period, high profits cannot be achieved in a short time when compared between real estate and business and even investing in gold, but crypto investment is high risk if you don't have the knowledge to manage crypto investments, and we have the knowledge and experience to survive in crypto investments until now.

I agree, investing in crypto currency it's incomparable to investing in real estate or business. You can invest $100 in crypto and get good returns one day, but hardly that's possible with real estate or business. Maybe if you have a lot of spare money, like tens of thousands USD, you should consider all three options. But if it's just hundreds, you have just one option then, and it's crypto.
1310  Economy / Economics / Re: Cracking the Code of Saving Money... on: November 12, 2023, 10:44:40 AM
I saw this tip on how to save money on social media. It says that if you receive your salary before anything else or before distributing your expenses and such, the first thing you will do is allocate an amount to your savings, and after that, you can distribute it to other things, such as bills or other things you will spend.
What about those who don't earn a lot? Someone with a limited salary cannot separate a specific percentage from it for savings and then spend the rest on other things because the rest might not be enough. If you earn $1,000 a month and have expenses that covers almost the whole amount or even higher sometimes, you can't have much savings or any savings in that case.

Some people earn even less than that, and it's extremely hard for them to save something. You know what, I was one of those people during some period of time, for years actually. And I can tell this much: if you earn so little,  you never give saving a thought even. You just live. You are happy you can buy a loaf of bread, and if you can "save" to buy a bus ticket to not be walking for two hours to your home, you are super happy.

I also see that mate , is there really a profitable gambling ?

Yes there is a win and loss in gambling , but having an assurance to be profitable is not a best word to deliver because we knew how hard to win in this area of money making.

I would rather say that "Fun and chances to profit" that is the appropriate term to deliver in this thread.

But what made me think twice of this site is that how OP's style of posting , delivering  multiple thread but never made any comment in one of those.

Yes, it looks more like a bot posting. If OP is a human being he should reply to all those comments and questions in his threads.

I personally want to ask this. What are those "benefits for newcomers" exactly? What apart from "profitable games" his site can propose?

And I have some advice to give. If you are serious about your business, start from announcing a challenge, like "Guess the slot" or something, with good prizes, prizes worth hundreds of USD, which will be credited to the winners' accounts on your platform.

Just saying "we have safe funds storage and profitable games" is not enough these days.
1312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: November 12, 2023, 09:22:06 AM
I'm surprised that most people have voted "Not me". Is it even true? I mean, unless you are a night guard at some warehouse, you can't gamble all the time, but have you guys never rolled a dice during your work? I mean, just for a minute or two, never? I'm not saying I'm doing it everyday, but once in two-three months I can find a minute to roll dice or spin a reel, or place a bet on a team I think should win. But it depends on the job, of course. I wouldn't be happy about my Uber driver making a bet during a taxi ride.

Actually gambling while working is okay, but it depends on the job as you said. Because sometimes gambling can interfere with work, it is best to avoid it, especially if the manager/superior finds out, there is a risk of being fired. However, there are also jobs that are not too busy, aka can be relaxing, making us bored. There is no harm in seeking luck through gambling to relieve boredom at work. The point is that gambling is allowed as long as we can manage our time so that it doesn't interfere with work. I used to work as a security guard in a factory, often gambling while working just to relieve boredom.

That's exactly the kind of work where you can spend some time on gambling, in my opinion. Unless the factory is producing nukes, you are totally fine, I guess.

Gambling can relieve boredom, it even can fill you with energy like a cup of espresso. You just shouldn't overdo it. At work or elsewhere, don't overdo it, guys. Make it your source of energy and good vibes.

Even though it just for their own enjoyment, they come to the casino more often actively and gambling addiction is term for anyone who always gambles and can't get away from gambling, whether it for entertainment reasons or for the purpose of making money if they have consistent activities all the time then that it can be called gambling addict.

Well, I disagree. Normally, we call someone "addicted" if the activity he is constantly engaged with harms him. If someone is gambling for entertainment purposes and never loses more than he can afford to lose, we should not call such a person a gambling addict, even if, in our opinion he spends on gambling too much time. And we never call him a reckless gambler.
1314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: November 12, 2023, 08:08:08 AM
I wouldn't say "destroy", there were already some software that gave out the odds, so it is not like this would bring in anything new. Any AI would be able to collect the data from what you give it, and the odds will be there, anyone who wagers with odds on the screen knowing what are their chances to win, will be a bit ahead of everyone else, obviously there are a lot of people who already know this by heart and on their minds, without needing it, those are professionals and no GTP would be able to beat that at all.

I think the fact that we are talking about something "special" here is wrong, it is just a normal situation and doesn't feel like it will make any type of change for the long term results of poker gambling.

No, that is certainly not true. Pluribus, an AI, can beat top poker professionals, and not only heads-up, but  in a complex multiplayer game too. The question is will it be available for regular folks to use and how high are the costs of learning in real-time during its online play, but it's not a question that it can beat even the best humans at poker.

correct mate, it is not hereditary not unless their family is engaging in gambling day by day then that might be considered as hereditarian but not in ours yet my brother still gamble .

When OP said "inbuilt" or people in this thread were saying "hereditary", it wasn't to say that some family members of the kid that started gambling all of a sudden were gamblers. Rather it was about all humankind. It's in our genes to gamble, it's our basic Instinct.

1317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: November 11, 2023, 08:41:50 AM
I want to pose a question that I believe is quite expensive for many of us here, and it's a dilemma most of us can relate to. We all know that gambling is a game where we put our luck to the test. However, there's a crucial moment in every gambler's journey. the moment when you hit that big win. Do you cash out and savor your victory, or do you continue playing in hopes of even bigger winnings?

I've often wondered how many of us can truly stop playing when we are ahead. It's a challenge because the allure of winning more can be irresistible. I've witnessed situations where a friend deposited money into a casino, faced losses, and just when he was on the brink of frustration, he struck a significant win. Did he stop playing? No, he left his winnings in the casino, only to lose it all again.
So, I ask you all, what would you do when you finally make that big win? Would you cash out immediately to enjoy your winnings, or would you keep playing in the hopes of an even more substantial prize? Shocked

To me it's neither of those things most of the time. When I win big, I don't cash out immediately, but I don't keep playing either. What I do is I stop for the day, because I'm gambling for entertainment purposes and winning something like 100x+ of your bet is entertaining enough. Then I may come back the next day and play a bit, and then the next. And thus I can lose my initial win in a month, or in several months, but I'm glad my win is enough for such a long time for me to have fun with gambling.
1318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: November 11, 2023, 08:13:05 AM
~ The case for most gamblers is that we're starting responsible but when we're already in the middle of it, that's when things change. We want to gamble more even if we don't have money anymore because we've lost a lot of money and we can't accept the fact that we're losers so we chase, we recover and then we lose again. The cycle continues that makes us stuck on that which makes gambling is harder for us because the reality is there but we can't accept it.

So, when a gambler has already lost everything that's when he's going to be knocked by realization that he did the wrong thing. When he's got the opportunity to gamble and then made some profits, he didn't withdraw and stopped.

The key is even if you are chasing your losses, you shouldn't risk more than you can afford to lose. Yes, it might be a painful loss, but not a catastrophic one still. We, gamblers, all have those unfortunate moments, but it's not like we are losing everything and borrow money to gamble more, like irresponsible gamblers do.
1319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: November 11, 2023, 07:06:07 AM
It is a very natural thing to bet and hope for luck, although it is still not certain whether someone will really be lucky. Because people who bet without expecting to win or get lucky are just people who are having fun with gambling, so it wouldn't be strange if someone who bets doesn't want to tell other people about their luck. Because this kind of thing can actually be done by anyone who has the courage and ability individually without having to depend on other people.
Exactly, it's not like you have control on how the team that you're betting on will perform, your control stopped when you've locked it in and now it all relies on the skills of the team you've put your bet on. To be honest, most betting should be easy especially if you just bet on the one with the lowest odds, it's common sense that betting sites will put lower odds on the teams that's likely to win so why not just go with your common sense and secure an easy win?

It's never an easy win. Less than a year ago there was a case when a guy bet $1 million in USD on a team that had 1.01 odds, meaning it should have won almost certainly, right? He thought it was easy to win $10k with that. And the team didn't win, and he lost his entire million. I can't even imagine how much money won those who bet in the outsider, but my point is, even with  1.01 odds you can lose sometimes.
When it comes to betting game, it's true that there's no easy win, some bettors lose so many times before they get to win, it's just that you need to lose almost half of your money before you get back the money that you've lose. It's a matter of luck and some winning strategy that you build in yourself.

I won 151x  of my bet recently



but I lost around 80 of similar multibets before that. And I think I was very lucky to win that 151x. This might not have happened in the next 80 bets and I would be in the red. You should never count on getting your money back like it's guaranteed to happen when you make a lot of bets.

~ It's never an easy win. Less than a year ago there was a case when a guy bet $1 million in USD on a team that had 1.01 odds, meaning it should have won almost certainly, right?

Yes, I remember that thread about someone betting at 1.01 and thinks it's a sure win, unfortunately it's not. But then we have seen someone also bet on a parlay with just small amount and the odds are like 100x or higher and then won that bet. ~

See my post above. I did bet with just small amount and the odds were actually more than 100x. Smiley

The amount is huge today because that amount of bitcoin back then was only 200$ but its gone 6x and thus the fiat value has increased again courtesy of bitcoin's price rise.

No man, not 6x, it's more than 60x today! I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. Although it wasn't the price of Bitcoin Pizza days, it was still so much lower than today's price that it's hard to believe. Smiley

I'm wondering how much it will be one day in the future, $200 in BTC now? $2k? Maybe more? Freebitcoin is a fantastic place. You can win that much in one roll and it's free.
Hence make sure to stash more bitcoins and use their 4.08% investment scheme more often to grow your coins that you can spare, no one knows how big even a single satoshi might become in future.

Still I have not been able to replicate a similar winning again now.

Yes, Bitcoin is still unpredictable, and FreeBitco.in is still great place to visit for those who love Bitcoin.
