141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: House always wins? The case of Trump Plaza. on: March 29, 2024, 05:00:15 PM


What caught my attention about his casino is the fact it seems not to have been in the mind of the Trump organization to save the casino from its end (in comparison to other successful resorts) and it was actually demolished in the end.
One must wonder what happened for a casino of this level and category to get in bankruptcy?
Do you think this is one of the few cases when the house did not win or perhaps it had something to do with factors external to the casino snd it's management?
Have you ever heard about casinos this big failing to the point they need to be completely demolished before? Because I have not.

House always win. There’s no way a house can lose on games that designed with house advantage plus human error distribution on players side. Casino can hit a severe bankruptcy if there’s no much player entering in the casino due to competition while their fixed expenses on running a casino is greater to their profit.

They are paying taxes and other fees too which is why operating a physical casino is very expensive and risky if there’s a lot of competitors in the area.

The rise of online casino might be another reason on why some physical casino decreases customers.

Btw, are there more merit source applications from your local board, considering the fact that @crwth submitted his almost 6 years ago and still hasn't been approved?

If I remember correctly we have 1 active merit source 2 years ago while this application happened 6 years ago. I think this is the reason why @Theymos don’t consider this merit application but @cabalism13 becomes less active prior to his issue on his foundation thread.

He doesn’t fulfill his merit source properly after that issue and leave us on this current condition that has no new merit being distributed to local members.

Hindi na din ako masyadong active sa local board natin dahil mostly gambling content related ang post at madalas ako magshare ng gambling experience ko sa mga casino thread na nilalaruan ko. Mas nakakkuha din pati ako ng merit sa post ko sa global thread kaya doon ako madalas tumatambay.

Matagal na yung merit application pero hindi pa dn napapansin hanggang ngayon dahil kulang tayo sa push hindi kagaya ng ibang local boards. Hindi na din pati active yung karamihan ng kasabayan ko dito sa forum kaya halos hindi na dn talaga ako tumatambay dito maliban nalang kung may nais ako ishare na related local.
144  Other / Off-topic / Re: What if an employee of a betting company misuses company funds for gambling? on: March 29, 2024, 02:44:12 PM
Do you think a betting company or casino will understand and not arrest an employee who has access to company funds and then misuses it for gambling? If this employee claims that he is battling from gambling addiction, will he be considered for a lighter punishment? If you own such a casino or betting platform, what will you do to such an employee, understanding that addiction to gambling can make people make decisions that are unexpected.

I really doubt that this incident will be forgiven since trust is everything on casino industry especially if it’s involved money. If I’m a casino owner, I will not tolerate this behavior because my company life is based on the funds for gambling so if I have an employee that can’t handle his addiction then he is already considered as incompetent to the job description he is taking part.

Immediate termination is always the right choice here because trust is already broken while there’s a lot of chance that this will occur again in the future because it’s an addiction problem and not a simple mistake at work that related human error. Allowing employees that mix their personal problem to work especially if the problem is related to his work is already a big red flag.

I mean when you think about it, VPN is a risky move by any gambler and if they use it then the yare very well aware that they could be asked about it later on as well. It is not a shock that if you are using VPN then some casino may ask you about it, you are not using it and then get shocked that you get asked about it, you know the possibility even before you start it anyway.

So, it should not really be all that shocking at all. We should be considering this as a normal part of the situation. This is why I believe that when this happens, gamblers who react to it are either faking it, or very newbie in the crypto gambling world. Because anyone who has been around, knows that this will eventually happen to you as well if you use VPN.

The use of VPN is only trivial if you are using it to hide your restricted country but if it’s not then there’s nothing wrong on using because you are not breaking the casino ToS with or without VPN. The use of VPN always cause a confusion to many user here despite there’s already a lot of thread and official answer regarding this matter.

Casino knew if you are using VPN. They typically investigate on your account if you have a questionable gambling activity that usually connected to VPN such as hiding your IP due to multiple account, restricted country or bonus abuse. It’s just VPN is always being use by cheater that’s why it’s always involved in every issue in the casino but that doesn’t mean is the use VPN per se is bad.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Becomes of Gambling if Sport book is taken away. on: March 25, 2024, 03:09:39 PM
Just as the title stated, what do you think will becomes of gambling enirly if we wake up one morning to the news of global banning of football,  or a country ban it citizens from participating in football both as a game and also a sport.

Do you think gambling/casinos will lose it popularity since chunk number of their clients are from sport bookies section?

I’m sure that casino industry will be affected but there’s a lot of sports available for gamblers to bet on. Football is indeed the biggest sports that contributes bet on sportsbook industry but gamblers will always find a way to gamble despite their favorite sports is already ban.

Besides, most of online casino has slot games and live games which generates profit that can compensate on the loss of football on sportsbook. It’s a big deal for the fans but gambler will surely find a way to entertain themselves on casino.
147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 25, 2024, 01:27:18 PM
Offensive battle, LA LAkers versus the Indiana Pacers. What a score! That almost went to 300 points total. 5 points shy.
And because of that, the stats of every player are filled. And thanks to that I won this.

Crazy stats for Anthony Davis 36 points and 16 rebounds, he dominated the painted area and underneath the rim, that is where he got most of his points.

Even with monster stats of Lakers including AD it’s really surprising to see that score of Pacers is just 5 points lower than Laker. Pacers score aside from Siakam is just below 20 points that shows a team effort to counter the aggression of Lakers star line-up monster performance. This all the Lakers get with that AD total control on the paint.

Haliburton just score 12 that shows how important to create a play instead of personal stats just to win the game.

Nice win on your bet with that long betbuilder bet.

I have already join on blackjack.fun and I want to try game play on this site
do you have a recommendation a game for happy fun to play it?

Most of the game on the Blackjack.fun is just the same with other casino if you are looking for a 3rd party games. Their blackjack game and the roulette game are the exclusive game that you can play only on this casino.

The best feature of blackjack.fun is their robust rakeback that is 20%(Correct me if there’s already a changes) on every player regardless of your VIP level. So any games here is good to play due to the rakeback.
149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your take? on: March 25, 2024, 12:06:35 PM
Straight to the point most people are afraid of compiling big odds and now decide to go for lower odds with huge staking power which is not even guaranteed to give the predicted results. For example, there could be a match between Newcastle VS Tottenham Hotspur and both teams are having 1.5 and 1.3 odds respectively, a gambler may decide to bet only on Tottenham to straight win by only selecting this one game on his slip, what is your take on this kind of gambling, risking bigger money on some low odds with a small potential win and still the possibility of your pick to win is not even certain.


I’m not how you do gambling but obviously the lower the odds means the higher percentage you will win. There’s no guarantee win on any gambling but there’s a choice to bet on less risky way and that is by choosing low odds. Bookmaker set an odds based on the statistics of the game which gives a huge impact to the outcome of the game.

If you are a gambler. A lower odds with high chance of winning is much better on higher odds with low chance of winning because having profit is the most important thing to consider and not the potential big outcome.

Salamat sa patuloy na pagcontribute na mga useful trading thread lalo na ngayong hype ang market. Alam ko kung paano gamitin itong mga indicators na ito pero sobrang nahihirapan ako kung paano pumili ng tamang time frame para tumingin sa indicators since may magkakaibang signal ang indicator base sa time frame na gamit.

If mahpgkaakroon ka ng time para gumawa ng guide para sa tamang pagpili ng time frame na akma sa trading strategy ay sobrang makakatulong ito sa user na kagaya ko na may struggle pa dn sa trading. Sa pattern at fibonacii lang ako umaasa para sa long term trades ko pero mahina ako sa scalping.
151  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 190K in 2024? on: March 24, 2024, 02:55:11 PM
Bitcoin in past have seen a good price boost after the halving. And many prediction models place the future price of bitcoin into 190K.
Is 190K too humble or very generous in your consideration? What's your price plans for selling your holdings?

 An you provide the prediction model that shown a 190K target on 2024 because you are just using Bitcoin halving as reference to your prediction while you provide an exact target price that can’t be justified by your current thread.

I’m interested to know how they come up with 190K prediction because the typical price target using the past crypto cycle of doubling the ATH is just around 140K and this is my basis too instead of using exaggerated price predictions.
152  Economy / Economics / Re: Insurance is important on: March 24, 2024, 01:22:37 PM
Insurance is good and need to be encouraged even though the awareness is low in developing countries we need to ensure our asset, life, house etc
So Incase of emergencies we will not be crying so much because we know that we got insurance covering up

Most challenges encountered by people especially those who are on 3rd world country is the poverty makes their salary only sufficient to their daily needs. Not all people can avail insurance even though they really need it due to the low salary grade of the country while the cost of living is just making them just enough of having a food.

On OP story subject which are that has good source of income from their job and businesses, insurance is really a must because they have a way to pay the monthly bills but this is not applicable to those people that is under the minimum wage earners with family to sustain. I have insurance myself because I have a better job but some of my co-worker still doesn’t have insurance because they have more fix bills to support their family necessity that’s why they are investing only on health by doing healthy lifestyle.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Always check the deposit address on: March 24, 2024, 12:55:49 PM
I think you are quite lucky because the casino doesnt use a 3rd party payment gateway like coinpayments, so they can solve the problem straight away.
If they use third party services, it will certainly take time to resolve this problem.
It could take 1-2 weeks or maybe more depending on the response from the payment gateway company.

This is true base on my experience, my deposit on local casino that use 3rd party payment    got stuck for a long time just because it expires already before my transaction confirmed due to increasing fee on Bitcoin network while I use wallet that doesn’t support RBF to bump my fee.

But most of the crypto casino available in the forum use internal wallet to all their deposits that’s why it’s easy for them to recover transactions but some casino consider it a loss if you use old address which the casino doesn’t support anymore due to their upgrade.
154  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC go back to $40K - $30K range before a bigger rally? on: March 23, 2024, 02:15:18 PM
Currently anything can happen to be honest. Bitcoins are really going up and down in every hours. The traders are playing an important role in manipulating the price as I can see. They are buying at bulk quantity for which the price going up and similarly selling at large quantities for which the price also coming down. Most probably we will see a correction in the price before halving only. I am assuming Bitcoins will rest at 55k usd for now. Let’s see what happens next.

Some whales are playing on the crypto market because the price on daily time frame shows the obvious breakeven which means that it’s a target trading. However the overview of the Bitcoin chart is already showing a bearish movement that usually incomes with sharp correction if there’s no more whales playing the price.

I’m not expecting that the price will rally even after halving. This kind of strong price rally usually follow by sharp correction then long sideways until it will rally again for a possible new ATH.

Congratulations to fellow bettors who YOLO to Aurora team since they are bring down to Lower bracket earlier by Geek Fam on Dreamleague S23 SEA Closed Qualifier. I still believe that they are still the Strongest team on SEA as they are the previous Talon. Despite many top player on PH that already play on PH like Abed they still can’t beat the Talon Line-up.

They manage to complete a lower bracket impossible run after sweeping all the team that they faced including the grand finals and a rematch against GeekFam.  What a solid profit!

Hopefully 23Savage will find a team from Europe to carry because at this point Liquid should think carefully if they want to keep Mickey as their carry or simply try to get 23savage in the summer because so far Aurora made it clear they want to win a trophy with this current line-up.

I’m not updated on the players stats but I think 23 is already comfortable with his teammates on SEA since they are dominating the region compared when he will go on EU which has better strong team than SEA. But having the position 1 on Liquid will surely a good move for him since Liquid is pretty decent despite Zai already leave since 33 is much better replacement for the offlane.

Meanwhile , Tundra managed to defeat Entity in a Bo3 and I'm not sure if Wattson really believed when he said he is in his best form or if his teammates are really 2-3 levels below his style because DM, NoOne are bringing nothing new in this squad besides big ego's. If Entity won't figure a way out to actually put Wattson in a position where he can carry , I think he might leave in summer as well.

Yeah, they definitely have different game style. Player from the region of Noone and DM usually have different play style. This is the reason why DM is useless too on OG and less impact on late game because they have different objective in the game.

It’s already acquired by Justin Sun. Again Justin Sun. I never trust him and all of the project that involves him because there’s always a looming darkness of uncertainty when he was involved especially about legality.

Poloniex is one of the oldest CEX that still run until now but the change of ownership makes me hesitant to use the exchange anymore. If you are already interested to use CEX then why not choose the top exchange like Binance that has a fee discount if you pay in BNB tokens?

Team Spirit can't win a game in Dota 2 anymore! This patch really ruined their entire hero pool and I feel that some players might leave this team until summer or even earlier. Miposhka already said that if his team won't perform well in Q1 he will personally take a break from Dota2 pro scene. Today they lost again against Navi with a quick 2-0 and their dream to catch DreamLeague S23 is on the edge.

I believe team just catch up with them on this current patch. Typically TS dominance usually felt on the mid year tournament when TI is near. It’s really bad if their support team will be disbanded since they have the best support. I think the most disposable position for them is just the pos 2 but the rest is very solid on their own.

Probably the effect of total shuffle on roster to all region makes them so sensitive to follow the same changes when they are not performing well. NaVi is now very strong with the current line-up, it’s understandable that they are sweep by this team.

159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Airdrops are getting easier to get this year on: March 21, 2024, 02:55:49 PM
Sure Airdrops are much easier these days especially now that the Market sentiment is very bullish .There are lots of new project that runs airdrop campaigns some may not be worth it but others are really good and one can easily make some good profits from them .So it will be worth in engaging in many airdrops as possible

You and OP probably doesn’t experience the early version of Airdrop which user receives this airdrop token by holding certain token or by just filling up the form that enters your wallet address to get an airdrop token.

The current airdrop model has different task that usually needs spending on the ecosystem before you can receive airdrop. Same with the OP being promoting which is Bitget that requires actual spending on the exchange through trades before you can received airdrop. I’m pointing out that the process before is much easier compared to the current version but still both are very easy to participate.

Solana is backed by greedy VC that providing liquidity to all this shit meme coins that will surely become useless once they are abandoned by the VC investors. Retail traders are just being milked by fake pump of this worthless token on Solana. Solana is too centralized and controlled by VC that probably injected by SBF using his scam money.

Eth is much better to Solana in every possible way. Just wait until Solana will correct again once these scam VC shit bust by regulators for manipulative trading.
