Those users that usually spam the forum with bunch of post above their average post just to get the campaign bonus is the main culprit why the post count decline.
Most of the previous campaign including mixers and Stake usually reward their members that contributed more(huge post quantity). Right now, most of the campaign doesn’t have this bonus system while Stake adjust their post quota that contributes a lot on the decline of post count.

I had suggested my friend to quit gambling and I had feel that he totally get addicted to the gambling.Which was the cause for the many high risk to get into the complete loss.But he clarify me,he had loss the money because he had follow the same betting strategy with the changing algorithm of the gambling site.From his experience,I had learned we should not follow the same betting style for the changing algorithm.
This is the most bullshit excuse for his losses. Everyone knew that there’s no strategy that will work on gambling in long term while the gambling algorithm is completely random that’s why it’s very hard to develop a working strategy to have a consistent profit. Now he had decided to start the gambling again with the loan money to balance the previous loss of 2000$.What is your opinion on this,I had suggested him to go to the regular job to reduce the loan in step by step to reduce the loan burden.But he had word of “We can earn,Where we had loss everything “.Share your opinion on this. I will not be surprised that he will pursue more gambling to recover his losses since he seems doesn’t fully understand the reason why he loss is because no one can beat the casino no matter what strategy he is using. Getting a loan just to gamble while his family is already suffering financially is a suicide. He needs to set an appointment to psychiatrist ASAP. |

Biden administration proposed DAME tax on Tuesday, which would charge Bitcoin miners a 30 % tax on the cost of the electricity, but crypto industries are not happy with this proposal, have shared negative opinion against this decision.
Tell me who’s miner will be happy for a 30% tax exclusive for them while every business on the world consume same energy that they are using to operate a mining rig. Unless a mining rig use different electricity that has severe effects that harm the environment. This action is the way of government to fight the spread of Bitcoin since they can’t regulate it so they are just imposing unjust tax to slow down miners. In my country, Tax is near to 30% for capital gains greater than 40K USD if user will declare their crypto assets to our tax agency. Our government is against crypto in general that’s why they are charging us unfair taxes even though they can’t execute it properly. |

You can find their rules here - https://blackjack.fun/provably-fair/tocI know that your question is ironic but you are right, they should put their rules on the game's page. For example, Evolution has live blackjack and game rules are available on the page. You have to click on round ? icon and you'll get answers to every possible question that you'll have about blackjack. I think that they should add a similar icon on their website where Blackjack rules will be written. Btw I read your recent posts and your concerns are legit, considering them will only help the casino to make their service better, good. This is my realization too after @Jackpotracer pointed out here. I didn’t notice it because I’m familiar on the basic rules of Blackjack but I decided to check all the house blackjack of different casino and I notice that they have rules and fairness option available on the game option itself and not pn the faqs. I realized that he raised a valid point to Blackjack.fun for improvement since this casino main game is blackjack which is superb for me in terms of user experience because I played a lot on their house blackjack a lot. |

Right now, the mods is not that aggressive on moving repetitive topic/useless topic on gambling board to off-topic. I'm not sure what’s the real reason but gambling discussion is now back with those topic that has similarities to the previous topic that move on off-topic lately.
I’m not sure if the mods will still take action soon. I will just watch for now and lock this thread since there’s no mass move of thread already happening on current topics on gambling.

Maybe some gamblers doesn't like 2FA because they don't understand it, but once they'll get educated, maybe they'll consider it.
Hopefully they'll be able to read our discussions here.
Gamblers usually want a quick access on the game that’s why casino usually offer an instant account creation or web3 connection for an easy access to the casino. This is the reason why some gambler doesn’t use 2FA to secure their account and just rely with their password. They are lazy to open the authenticator app then copy paste the code whenever they login or withdraw funds. I like 2FA security because it can give you assurance that you will not gonna compromise even if you accidentally exposed your login details to scammer. Safety shouldn’t be considered as extra step because its our insurance to the money we are depositing in the casino. |

That's right, of course casinos will never spend the funds they have to give to other people and they are the ones who really benefit from the many players who play at their place and the winnings that some people get are only very small compared to the money they have spent at the casino so that the party who is really disadvantaged I think is only the gamblers who cannot manage their gambling so they spend too much money on the casino and use gambling as entertainment I think it will be better for our finances and we will not be addicted to gambling.
Casino spends their funds which you can casino bankroll. They are spending it whenever players hit jackpot or bets. They also have fixed cost from their operations expenses. They are just recovering it through the lose bets of players wagering on their casino. It’s not always positive for the casino because some them experience bankruptcy if their operation cost is greater than what they can earn in their casino. So they are using their own money but it just easily replenished when there’s a lot of players losing money. |

Just like the popular saying on gambling there’s also a counterpart on it on investing which is invest only what you can afford to lose so that you will not feel the pressure of selling your holdings immediately whenever there’s a price correction sign.
Most of the bitcoin holders purchased Bitcoin using their life savings or other money with different purposes rather than investments. Because people will surely neglect the risk of holding assets on exchange if they will suffer more losses when still holding it during correction.

Celebrities who are into gambling most of the time didn’t reveal it in the public and remains private, so I think those celebrities who are exposing themselves that they are into gambling is just like a passive marketing campaign or at least part of the contract. Once they have a good number of followers and they start promoting indirectly any gambling site, I believe both parties will benefit from it and they will not do it without getting anything in return, because their reputation are more important honestly.
It’s different on Poker games since they have a special table dedicated for celebrities or a celebrity joining on a casual today for a friendly game only. I think I watch several time a celebrity play the shark tank version of the poker which is fun to watch due to the additional punishment for bluffing and caught when the card reveal. They might receive some guesting fee but it’s different than to the typical celebrity playing gambling in a casino for promotion just like Drake doing. On this case, they are actually just having fun playing real poker against other players. |

Thank you very much for your kind answer and help to see their Blackjack Rules. Their page for their BJ game shows this, and unfortunately the BJ tournaments are now private, so we cannot see what rules they show, if any. Since you are confirming that the rules are now published, I am proud to tell everyone that at least I have succeeded in getting the rules finally published. But as you can see in the screenshot above, a visitor cannot see the rules in full. Very unprofessional as Blackjack players and lovers will want to know the rules before they register to play Blackjack. I could tell you exactly what house edge they offer according to the rules you showed us. Thanks again for that.
I agree that they should at least put the link to the rules on the game itself even in the form of information button. I finally understand what you are trying to emphasize here since some Blackjack games have different rules in terms of when the dealer will stand or hit on soft 17 or not. BTW, they also added the Provably Fair later, as it was not there when I played, so you can thank me whenever you want, as it was also added because of me.
Signature Spammers and Jackpotracer attackers are welcome to remain silent.
Cheers
It’s easy to become misunderstood if you started your criticism from a dispute of your bug finding before. At least your suggestions was being heard despite you and blackjack.fun have a negative arguments.  |

This has also reminded sometimes ago when a friend of mine told me that he has lost too much in couple of times in gambling because he has been engaging on too much risks of picking big odds all just so that he can have huge profits at his winning.
Ever since then, he said to have decided on picking low odds and accumulate the profits on a gradual process and yet he still lost even at the low odds.
He feels so frustrated and beginning to doubt that he does not think if there is ever going to be possibilities of winning in the gambling again.
I just smile because this is the same game who has been so comfortable in gambling simply because he could win then.
Now he feels the gambling sites is playing some trick on their games.
There’s a lot of gamblers think like this that they can beat the casino by applying some strategy that involves low and high odds in the process which doesn’t matter in reality since all games in the casino has a house edge which is impossible to beat especially in long term exposure on gambling. In general, it’s impossible to beat the casino even using sure bets, arbitrage betting and other strategy that can guarantee profits because casino will surely seize your profit once they caught you doing this since it’s considered unfair for them if you bet without any risk. |

They are going to slowly decrease though. Over time, traditional casinos will eventually just fewer and fewer and may only exist in major cities where tourist travels a lot. It's going to be the place where people celebrate their stag parties and business success and then attendees are just going to stay on the casino til the night is over. Physical casinos will slowly die. AFAIK even before, land based casino main target is huge city because that is the place which wealthy person usually leave or stay for work. Land-based casino customers target is still the same and they are still performing well even with the existence of online casino. There’s still a lot of new casino being constructed in our country after pandemic since there’s still a demand for this. Online casino become a hit because it’s target audience are those people that can’t afford playing in land-based casino due to different reason but that doesn’t mean the old players of land based casino will choose online while they are already playing the upgraded version of casino experience. It’s just the market for gambling industry grow significantly due to the existence of online casino while land based casino target market is still the same. |

Many things have changed on Blackjack.fun, I haven't visited this website since Covid pandemic ended and I am very impressed, I wasn't expecting to see a complete casino. I was expecting to see an improved blackjack game app. Now there are Sports, eSports, Games, Live Games, slots, etc... added on the website. BlackJack game still feels the same (I bet the font is the same). Btw congrats on your achievement, this website grew from blackjack oriented website to a completed casino and most importantly the UI/UX design is different from competitors that gives blackjack.fun a unique vibe but I would love to see a light version of theme.
would you please so kind and tell us the Blackjack rules of their game? I could not see any rules and rules are very important IMHOcheers What specific rules you are looking for? There"s a rules listed for their house blackjack under their ToS https://blackjack.fun/provably-fair/toc>Frequently asked questions. Blackjack.fun BJ is a very typical game which has basic rules of Blackjack while 3rd party game rules can be read on the menu option of each game. The website has indeed received a major update judging by @shield132 last visit to the casino. Thank you for trying to answer my question but very interesting that after I asked few times to explain the blackjack rules that are used that I did not get any answer that will show and explain the rules that they use! Does the support doesn’t point out to you their FAQS section since they specifically write the rules there for their house blackjack. I’m not sure if they just recently added it or not because it’s been a long time since my last game here but they are upgrading their website based on your criticism especially the probably fair feature on their blackjack which is visible now on the game. To answer that they use basic rules doesn't tell anything. If you know the rules, why not write them here? If I were to offer a Blackjack game, I would use the rules that I think are best for me and show them to the players in all details.
Why are they hiding it? I’m confused, here or in their casino because the rules is disclosed in there. Number of decks of cards used: 8
Insurance is available when Dealer has an Ace
Insurance pays 2:1
Dealer must hit soft 17
Dealer peeks on 10 value cards and Aces
Player can double down on any two cards which sum to 9, 10 or 11
Player can't double down after a split
Hand receives one additional card after doubling down
Split up to 4 hands
Aces can only be split once
Only one card dealt to split Aces
Making Ace and 10 after splitting counts as 21, not Blackjack
Any two cards with a value of 10 can be split
Blackjack pays 3:2
Malfunction voids all pays and plays
The shuffle is done with a fair and certified random number generator. |

NYK -2.5
This game is not anymore important for the Celtics, so I wouldn't be surprise if the starters will not play just like what the Clippers did, so I'm counting on the Knicks to win on the road.
Boston last 10 games is also not important anymore yet they are still playing starters with 100% effort to win the game. But the bookie is now giving 2.0 odds to Boston which is a clear indication that Boston might really not gonna play full force on their remaining game. Boston last game yesterday against Bucks is a blast. They might consider resting on tomorrow’s match or they will use their remaining games as preparation for play-offs since they have time to rest during the play-in season. Nevertheless, I will bet on New York Knicks ML and not with handicap just in case Boston will seriously play this match. They'll only be serious if the starters will play, if you aren't sure then just wait until the game will start and bet live. I guess -2.5 is just so easy, and once the starters will be announce out, that will increase to probably -5.5 or even more, so in my case, I would take it early and be contented on that spread. A win here will ensure the Knicks position to be at the 3 or at least at 4, still would be getting the home court advantage. Boston started the game with their original starters but was still defeated by the Knicks. Yeah, the -2.5 is manageable for the Knicks since they are desperate to secure a position in the Playoffs for a better opponent for them to advance to the second round. I feel a bit regretful for not choosing a negative handicap pick but still, a win is a win even though the profit is a little bit lower. I was a bit afraid at the start of the game when the Boston starter announced, but everything worked well in favour of Knick when the game progressed. |

Seems like a scam site to me.. Whats with your exchange rate counting? Why doesnt it say there is not enough reserves and why would you let anyone send ANY amount which you cant handle? So obvious in my world.   What the heck is wrong with their liquidity pool. Yeah sounds like a scam to me because there’s no warning about the price impact and the actual price of the token during the conversion. User will be forced to involved on unfair trading if they didn’t notice that the converted token amount is not equivalent to what they are trading. Not only the liquidity reserves is odd to this exchange but the rip-off name to shapeshift.io just attract customers. Nice find on exposing this exchange. |

Does anyone here know how to get my computer's approximate power consumption while running a node? My wife keeps asking me why my computer is always open 24/7. She is already threatening me about our electricity bill. Tell her not to use the hair dryer so often or empty the water heater every time she takes a shower if you don't mind sleeping on the couch for a few night.  I don't think it's that easy to calculate. If you are serious about it, you might need something like a watt meter. There are also third-party software you can run to measure the consumption for you. Like with anything, use them at your own risk. Here is just one article I found on the subject: https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-pc-power-usage/I hope that I can tell her this to her face but I’m afraid that I might reduce my computer time if I made a comment about his electricity usage. I’m very serious about my wife getting crazy about our electricity bill even though I’m the one pays it using my salary. Anyway, I have my previous electricity consumption in average to check as reference on how much electricity it adds during my node challenge period. It just calming if I can show her some hard proof about the actual consumption measurement. I’m using a gaming desktop with 16GB ram, GTX 1080i GPU and I7 10th gen with water cooling setup. It usually consume too much electricity when I’m playing games on high resolution but I knew that running a node will not consume much power based on what I read. |
