youre not going to get very far with free tickets; you wont win anything if youre not willing to put anything on the table after all. also, free draws with lotteries are usually an advertisement more than anything. no one is going to be giving out free money like that if there wasnt anything in it for them. in all sense, getting something reliable like a job is more likely to let you retire early than constantly trying your luck at a lottery.

i agree that there is no safe method of gambling, but the faucet should never be considered as a way to "earn" anything. it should, at most, be a took for players to try out the site before depositing any of their own money to try their luck. of course, there is the chance of hitting some ridiculously high multiplier for a nice chunk of change, but the chances are low enough that it shouldnt be seriously considered as any form of reliable profit.

having bitcoin and feeling a need to gamble have absolutely no correlation, its the fact that a platform to gamble is easily accessible, and you have the money to use it. its no different that with a major casino such as winstar. addicts that have money will feel a need to go over to a casino and throw away whatever they have, wheras nonaddicts wouldnt feel at all compelled to go to a casino.

no strategy will work in a game that's designed to have you lose money in the long run. a strategy is something that should work in the long run, not a few bets. take the house edge that exists in all games into mind, and any strategy, no matter how good it may seem in your head, becomes a losing plan.

how exactly is it more fair? there's no system in place that explicitly makes a sportsbook more fair. nowadays you can verify whatever casino's bets that you make, just like how you can look up the results of a match you might have bet on. the only thing that sets sportsbooks apart from traditional gambling sites is the bets arent tailored to specifically profit the house, they take a flat rake from the bets, and thats it. compare that to dice where the player can never have a 50% chance to double.

if you're relying on gambling to repay loans, its more than a bit possible that the person took out a loan to gamble, and likely way past being just a simple addict. there really isnt much to benefit from gambling, other than the possibility of profit and the few seconds of fun it might bring. if anything, gamble with small amounts when you can afford to, and know how much of a downward spiral gambling becomes so you dont fall into it later in your life.

a lot better than martingale in my opinion, with martingale, people only seem to stop after their bankroll hits 0. if youre pulling out after 1 roll at least youre showing self restraint in your bets. if you just win a few times and never touch the game again that would be even better i think.

the addicted gambler may not enjoy losing the money, but i would bet that they sure enjoy the act of gambling itself regardless. theyre addicted to gambling for a reason; they wouldnt be addicted if it wasnt fun now, would they?

martingale does not work, and anyone that tells you otherwise has no idea what they're talking about. the only instance where martingale can be considered "safe" is if the player has limitless bankroll to fall back on. however much bankroll anyone claims to be safe for any form of positive progression betting in dice will always have a chance to run out.

even if one might claim to "know what theyre doing," it remains a fact that gambling is all chance. the most skill can do is play a part, and no amount of skill can make up for a string of bad hands that are impossible to use. even in poker, bluffing every single one of those hands wouldnt be worth it, and neither would it work more than once or twice in a given case where youre playing cs other players with experience.

this is probably the only answer that matters, but people are too obsessed with correlating gambling with "earning" like a job for some reason to actually pay attention. casinos are for-profit, and their games are designed to profit them, not you. its very likely you will end up losing whatever you bring in.

payment received, post count is 1069 after this post.

betting any amount of money when you depend on whatever bankroll you may be considering on betting is stupid in the first place. you are knowingly endangering your financial stability for a few cheap thrills. that isnt a matter of greed, its more a matter of common sense than anything. dont gamble at all unless you have an excessive amount of money to spare.

wrong, gambling is a game of chance, and by that, it is most certainly possible to make a person wealthy overnight. its only that there's a limit to how low people can go (when they go broke), but in a gambler's mind, there is no limit on when they should stop after winning. assuming it would take a lot more wins than losses to make someone fairly richer, its more than likely the person will gamble themselves into poverty.

faucets and promotions like those should be used to test and try out the site, not actually think of profiting. of course, its still possible, but very, very unlikely.
no strings attached no deposit bonuses are almost nonexistant though, too much history of people abusing those types of giveaways.

i had a pretty hard time understanding what he was trying to say too, english is rather poor. either way, "wise" decisions dont have a part in a game of chance, unless there is some skill involved such as in poker. is anything, staying away from gambling in general would be the wisest decision.

not really, in a real life casino, there's plenty of staff to kick anyone out who wins too much. and i dont mean "wins too much" as in a few hundred thousand, but those people that come in with never before seen luck and actually endanger the casino's profits. big winners are great for the casino's advertising too.
this can include anyone who's suspicious of cheating as well of course.

i would imagine that is partially true, there's a lot more to bitcoin than anonymous gambling, but in its current state, the way bitcoin facilitates gambling online and makes it so simple with depositing any sum of money with minimal fees is surely attracting a fairly large crowd of gamblers.

not really, most of the value in a gambling site is in the bankroll and the site's built up reputation. nowadays, since moneypot exists, people can create a gambling site or casino without having to worry about buying hundreds of btc and supplying their own bankroll. use their api and a simple casino script, and you have a working casino. all that would be left is to advertise and get some players.

a player can wager 200 btc in a matter of seconds with these online casinos, but imo, the chances of the player that just puts out a few max bets is higher than the chances of the delusional player martingaling 100 satoshi or something. it may seem unlikely, but it is incredibly possible to go bust in a matter of a few dozen bets even with a low starting bet. i say this because 80% of dice players have deluded themselves into thinking martingale is some magic formula.
