1381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 04, 2023, 11:59:59 AM

I have not seen a female gambler in my life but I heard that women are also gambling. A male gambler told me that, there is a girl in his compound that play all kind of games, plus virtual games. As for me, I will not agree with that you result because if female are playing gamble then there are some women that would also play. Women see porker game as calculative game then men would also it from that angle, porker is not a skillful game but a calculative games.

What do you mean? Isn't calculating the probabilities a skill? Isn't creating the wrong impression about your style a skill?

Just use Google before posting, mate. And then you'll learn that it's poker not porker.(You used the word two time so I guess it wasn't a typo). It has nothing to do with eating pork or something. Smiley It's an interesting game of skill. And yes, some women are very good at it.
Does mathematics a skill? Well everyone see things in different ways. So there will be no argument on that. Hey! I am not a google master searching engine, everything produce from experience. It is not a typo but it is already my keypad generated word and I was unconscious to correct it, thank you for bringing it to my notice. I think you also have a similar issue above.

You mean, you think that your personal experience means more than Google results to you? Well, "everyone see things in different ways" indeed. Smiley

And yes, math is a skill, look:



But it probably proves nothing to you, right? Smiley

There are people that say that "my opinion is equal to your facts" way of thinking is dangerous, and I agree with them today, but when I was younger I used to be like you, mate, so, I really wish you all the best from all my heart.

If you mean by all their customers taken together, then you are right. But how does this apply to us individual players? It's a false statement that "no one can beat the casino". You know this, right? There are tons of examples of people winning huge amounts through gambling, so, I think, we shouldn't repeat this false statement over and over like a mantra. Leave it to dishonest journalists.
I understand what you're saying but here what I mean is about luck and as I said before that there are no guarantees.
what I say is maybe some people will disagree, but from my experience, if I tell the truth, I think someone who wins a lot of money from gambling, if you calculate the overall losses and profits, will not be equal.
like for example I bet the first day I lost $500, the second day I lost $1000 and the third day I won $1000. despite getting a $1000 win but a $500 loss.
but back to that there are no guarantees because the luck of every gambler is different and all of this depends on a commitment not to be greedy. even though someone is lucky to beat the casino make a lot of money but greedy want to earn more I'm sure he will lose even more soon and fail to beat the casino like the problem of that time a person won over $500k but wanted to win $1m and finally all his big win was gone and failed to beat the casino.

I understand, there are such cases, there are many of them, that's true. But it's not like a rule that everyone loses in gambling in the long run. It's simply not true. It's like saying that everyone who drinks alcohol becomes an alcoholic eventually. Or, everyone who eats cake eventually becomes obese.

I, for one, am in profit from gambling, especially from playing poker, but I know it proves nothing, because it's a single case. What is more important is that neither online games, nor our brains are designed so that we will necessarily lose in the long run.

Yes, I don't doubt it, that's pure luck, I like to read a lot about game strategies, because when I'm playing sometimes I don't know what to do at a certain moment and if there is a good strategy, then it is feasible to apply it because you have another way of playing and doing things well, if they work or not, that depends on how lucky you are , if we have things in common with other players it is that a strategy works well for some but not for others, that It is normal, I do not think that if a strategy works for 1 or for a group , it is just a way of seeing things as they are , this in roulette is pure luck.

Testing out new strategies that you have learned recently is quite interesting because if we've known some methods then we could really think that it would really be giving out advantage and this is where most people been thinking but the truth is that we should really make use of these strategies for prolonging our gambling sessions and not really that believing that we could really take advantage against the house or something.
Now that we have seen this roulette type of rigging those rolls then we do have at least the idea about those probabilities which it could be seen on some casinos but its impossible that they would really be doing this publicly because once been caught then their business is over.

I just want to emphasize that there is a difference between a strategy in poker and a strategy in a purely luck-based game like roulette. With the former it makes perfect sense, and with the latter it makes no sense at all.

Yes, you can have fun with "testing out" new strategies for roulette game, but you should understand that whether you win or not totally depends on luck. And that's why I'm saying that those who are teaching you a winning strategy in roulette are just wasting your time.

The fact is that from the outside everything seems easier than if you do it yourself.
For example, if you look at the cryptocurrency trading market, or for example at the forex currency pairs chart, it seems that it is obvious where the price bottoms and price tops are. And it seems obvious where to buy and where to sell.
So in life, when you play in the present moment, you will never be able to understand whether there is an addiction or not. At the same time, it will be clearly visible from the outside. And of course then everything will seem simple in words.

But it's not just words of someone watching from the sidelines, it's stats, it's a fact that addicted gamblers constitute around 5% of all gamblers.. Check it by yourself.

~

Sometimes greed can play us in different ways, because when we see that there are many options to win, we decide to risk it or not, it has happened to me when I play that it makes me want to bet more, but on other occasions I have listened to that type of thoughts and I end up losing almost everything, so that is not a good idea, when I try to ignore those thoughts, which are rare, I leave with some gain, not with what I would like, but with something in my pockets, at the end of it all, it's the best I can do to be able to come out happy when I play, it's better to come out like this than with losses , the feeling is much more satisfying.

We all have those moments when we can't stop and we lose more than we can easily afford. We act as addicted gamblers during those times, and one might ask "What's the difference?". And the difference is that it happens very rarely with us regular gamblers, like once in a year or even less often, and with addicted gamblers it happens all the time.

You are right my friend, to earn such an amount as a referral reward is not so common, and to be sincere, without evidence, I find it hard or difficult to believe that he actually earned an amount that big as a referral commission.

I have a particular crypto exchange where I have more than 80 users I referred to the exchange, and to be sincere, total amount I've received from the exchange as a referral commission is not up to $10 for about 9 or 10 months now, I know crypto exchange are different from gambling casinos, and if my assumption is correct, people are supposed to make more money from crypto exchanges since very many use exchanges to trade, but not very many do gambling, so like I said before, he's claim of making $27,000 in three months as referral commission on a gambling casino is hard to believe with any evidence.

That's a lot of users you've referred. And although getting around $10 per month isn't that bad, you certainly can hope for more. I hope one of your refs goes big one day and you'll get some good get some good commissions.

As for the claim of making $27000 within 3 months from refs, I hope @bhanu31 will provide us with some evidence in the future. It is hard to believe without any evidence, like you said, but it's understandable if he doesn't want to do it, imo.

It takes some time for the payout script to run and then the cache needs to update again to show your winnings. I think you looked at that after it was marked as paid out but before your payout was reflected.

And so it did, indeed. Thank you for taking the time to explain that. I'd checked probably in the same hour and cache needed updating -- it now shows the winnings -- proving that the estimate was actually correct.

Not much to shout about, but the Golden Ticket was all that I was after so I'm golden Wink

I'm glad to see that you didn't lose your 500k sats and got a Golden Ticket. In 100 days we'll see how it turned out for you, but like everyone with a ticket you have a chance of winning that Lambo, and I personally think it would be great if you win with just one Golden Ticket. We all know that you can win, but would be nice to see it in reality. Smiley

But this is what I got from playing Popeye, where I tried to buy a $3 Bonus Feature by getting 10 Free Bonuses Grin



What provider is this slot game from? It’s new to me to see a 3$ bonus buy since most of the slot game that I play typically charge x90 to x100 of the bet amount. Seeing that you almost get a x2 profit from your small buy bonus amount is really intriguing because this slot game offer low risk game play by having a cheap buy bonus with good return.

The game graphics looks like from one touch due to the similarity of game design of wild coyote.
That's all because I read a chat from Darla, who said she has 3 slots of games that are her favorites: Popeye, Mr. Alchemister, and Spin Joy Society Megaways.

I just tried Popeye and haven't tried the other 2 slot games yet. And that is the result I got. Popeye is from Lady Luck's provider. It was new for me.

By using the Bonus feature for $ 3 get $ 5.51 Grin

Maybe I'll try to play in two of his favorite slot games. Who knows, I might get lucky again Grin

Thanks Darla, for the advice and also thanks Bitcasino Grin

You mean Daria from the Bitcasino Telegram channel?

She's usually great with her posts and suggestions. I'd like to play her favourite slots too. Smiley

Unfortunately, Bitcasino.io is unreachable for me for a couple of days. I don't know if the site is down temporarily, or is there something wrong on my part, but I can't play my Bitcasino Billion slot and those suggested by Daria right now. I hope things will change for better soon. Smiley
1388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: July 03, 2023, 10:37:13 AM
beyond this, the only evaluation that an AI can make is of the statistical type, it fits
but you could have done it before
perhaps now the advantage is that the complexity is hidden by a prompt, knowing which one it is obviously, because it is not really immediate

Yes it's true, but it's always like that with skill-based gambling, be it poker, sports betting or whatever. Your probability of winning can be high but your win is never guaranteed. Can AI better than us humans in calculating the probabilities? I think it can. And you are right, it heavily depends on the prompt.
1389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: July 03, 2023, 10:01:40 AM
I always failed when I tried, which is why I prefer dice over slots. I followed this guy called "That's Profit" on TikTok, and most of his uploads are a loss. Even when Eddie is playing on Saturday. The majority of his plays are likewise negative. The only good thing about slots is that it is entertaining to watch while others play. I tried Pragmatic slots a few months ago since I saw someone mention their slots are good, and the outcomes were the same, negative.

Getting negative results most of the time is absolutely normal thing for slots. We play not because we expect winning with every spin, but because we hope to hit a high multiplier. This is how it is with high volatility slots.

If you want to win more frequently, try playing slots by NetEnt. Theoretically your wins should be lower, but in practice, from m experience,  they are not that low pretty often.

1391  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: July 02, 2023, 10:48:27 AM
It's not free. someone pays for it
You are making zero sense here. People who post contests in the games and rounds section like me pay for them out of our own volition. The winners are receiving the prizes free of charge as long as the contests are legit.

The winners are clearly getting a free lunch which implies that your statements are wrong. Think!

as I said, someone pays. not sure why you do it, but you recieve something back. merits can have value for example. I think I know the goal here.

Oh c'mon, man! There's an established meaning to the phrase "there is no free lunch". It doesn't mean "someone pays", rather it means you are paying without realizing it. And, in fact, you are paying nothing when using free bets. So, this phrase that our grandmas are so fancy to use all the time, it's not completely accurate in some cases nowadays. Smiley
1392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's on! 2024 US Presidential Election Biden+Harris Vs Trump Bitcoin betting.... on: July 02, 2023, 10:15:01 AM
If you are talking about conviction of a presidential candidate, or even ex-president to be fair, then you are talking about a terrible historical moment of a nation. No nation should ever have a presidential candidate that is a convicted fellon, plus not something they did as a president for sure. If a person did something that makes them a criminal due to a crime committed thanks to being a president, that is a historical problem. I am not saying he is guilty, nor am I saying he is innocent, I am saying in both cases this is terrible. If he is guilty, you guys have a president who used his presidency to commit a crime, if he is innocent then you have a president who is being scapegoated, there is no "fine" result in the end, one way or another, its terrible.

Let's let that amazing statement slip, "in both cases this is terrible". The situation in the USA is terrible in any case. Well, isn't that just f⊂cking amazing? Grin But, let's not dwell on that, shall we? We are not in the Politics & Society section after all.

What I see in your post is that Trump has very small chances to be elected. It's not like around 30%, as we could conclude from the current odds



but much less than that, and so, we shouldn't bet on him with these odds.

The global economy is increasingly difficult to predict, inflation that is happening globally makes us worry, if we only rely on current income then next month or next year we will experience difficulties, before bad things happen we have to be creative by utilizing all the potential that can become money .

In the face of this uncertain global economic challenge and with rising inflation I think it is very important for every individual to take proactive action to overcome this challenge.I think By exploring creative ways to maximize earning potential, embracing innovation each individual can adapt and be familiar with the current changing economic circumstances in an independent effort to reduce the impact of uncertainty and I think it's good not just say it but do it for ourselves first .

I don't think we are in the midst of a global economic crisis, but certainly there are countries where economic situation is not looking good, and if we are happen to be in those countries we have to act accordingly: we have to cut our expenses to save money for the necessities, we have to find additional sources of income and stuff like that. I think, there's nothing to be scared of. It's life, it has never been easy for most people, and yet people always, in any circumstances, were finding ways to live and to be happy, at least sometimes.

During harsh times it is especially important to not occupy ourselves with negative thoughts, the thoughts that  are imposed on us by propaganda of dictatorship regimes around the world. It benefits them to make us think
that the global economy is in deep crisis and  that we are heading towards the end of the world. It makes us cling to them dictators, the only "saviors".

Moving out of KYC discussion, do you know Roobet donated to Canadian Red Cross as their contribution for the massively horrific wild-fire in Canada?
It's $2000 donation from Roobet team.

They not only run their business but also do care about community through donations for meaningful activities and sure they sent it to trusted party.



If you want to donate to Candadian Red Cross, here

Once again, the Roobet team has demonstrated their kindness and generosity by donating to the Canadian Red Cross. I believe every user of the site can feel a sense of involvement and pride in contributing to such a charitable act. It is heartwarming to witness the positive impact we can make together.

The "perception" that you win more when you play randomly rather than logically may be a cognitive distortion called "illusion of control". When we assume our "random" plays affect a game of chance, we overestimate our control over occurrences. The games' house edge ensures that losing always outweighs winning. Remember that gaming results are unpredictable and independent of previous results. The previous round does not affect the next. It's termed "gambling" not "winning" because of this. Therefore, gambling should be seen as fun, not a way to generate money. This way, you can enjoy the process without worrying about the end.

The House Edge only ensures that the probability of losing is slightly higher than that of winning. Same as your win is never guaranteed with whatever advanced strategy, your lose is never guaranteed too, if the HE is less than 100%. And let's not forget that the house edge is never even close to that number, rather, it's in the range of 1% to 10%, right?

Overall, your win is quite probable if you are making sports betting with knowledge like the OP here.

What I think it is happening is that bettors realize there is a silent majority who does not attend to neither leftist events nor MAGA gatherings, the so called moderated voters, they are more pragmatic and do not go along with whatever of the things Trump says, political related or in relation to the charges he is facing.

That is why Republican candidates in the mid terms under performed, on the news you only see fanatics but those who stay calm in their homes also vote and they do it in a more rational manner, there is where the Biden's changes of winning come from, from normal people who may not agree on several policies of Biden but approve his economical advances.

From what I see, Biden is still strong despite all the dirt spread about him by his detractors.



Not exactly the odds I would place a bet with, because I don't want to risk big money, and with a bet of like $5-$6 it won't deliver much in the case of winning. But I'm sure there are some high rollers who find the odds attractive enough to place a bet.
1398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: July 01, 2023, 09:38:42 AM
If it's to win at odds, then maybe, if you can.. sometimes in gambling, profits will be more attractive than the ideal of being a fair player. because it's not certain that other gamblers or the odds will also be fair to us. let alone in gambling, even in games as usual there will usually be cheating activities, so this is not a taboo or new thing anymore

This is a poor excuse for cheating: "maybe they are also cheating us". Thieves often try to justify their actions by saying saying something like that. It doesn't work. Judges and people overall don't take their words into account. And rightly so. If you think a casino is cheating, stop playing there and open a scam accusation, but don't try to become a scammer yourself.
1399  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: July 01, 2023, 09:06:45 AM
When facing financial difficulties, it can be challenging to avoid borrowing money. However, continuously relying on loans can lead to a cycle of debt that is difficult to break. One way to break this cycle is to create a budget and stick to it. Start by tracking your expenses and identifying areas where you can cut back. Another option is to increase your income. This could involve taking on a side job or finding ways to monetize your skills or hobbies. You could also consider selling items you no longer need or use. Prioritize paying your debts. Focus on paying off high interest debts first such as credit card balances, as these debts can quickly accumulate and make it even harder to get out of debt.

That's what I would advise to anyone with debts. Unfortunately, many people wouldn't listen. Typical situation: having many debts already they are taking a loan to go on holidays and spend it on buying unnecessary things. Then they have more debts than before, and it's harder to deal with the situation.

Guys, take on a side job and pay off all your debts first. Trust me, you'll feel happier than after any holiday when you are free from all your debts.
