Any comment on this?

https://twitter.com/robertsepehr/status/1662917294379655170

The US media has been largely silent on this story. The released pictures and videos are extremely graphic and if it was anyone from the GOP, then that individual would have been arrested by now, but to jail and his political career would have been finished. But then it is Hunter Biden, who belongs to the left-wing political spectrum. The only platform that is covering this story is Twitter and any related posts are being removed immediately from other platforms such as Facebook.

Well.. I got one article from Fox News:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nearly-10k-photos-hunter-bidens-laptop-hit-web-truth-transparency

There about 40 people in the category "Next President" on sports betting sites, and there's no Hunter Biden in there, so, I don't understand why is it relevant. Oh, the FoxNews. You know that Fox News is pro-Trump propaganda, right? And they are so desperately want to denigrate Joe Biden that they resort to such dirty methods as citing Russian media known for their constant lies. FFS!

It can be very useful in poker, but for those of us who have been taught and have been taking courses to learn how to play poker better, I think that it is not nice for one to play and get a lot of AI where it will not give you the opportunity to to win, because it feels like the time learned in the game has been wasted, and that is something that is so angry that just like the others use AI to play poker, it will not be enough to continue losing, the same thing is done, it is sought an AI to also play and whoever wins the best AI, that's what it has been becoming in games.

If you, eventually it will turn into a competition between AIs, I disagree. With everything taken into account by AI, humans will have a decisive vote anyway. AI is just a tool, and people will be competing in how to use it, so, the competition will be among people. Much like with Formula One races, it's the drivers who compete in the end.

I think, unlike chess game, poker will never be disrupted by AI, because chess is a deterministic game, and poker is not.
1503  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: June 03, 2023, 11:37:18 AM
I think the biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom is an economic condition that is difficult to guess, I work with a monthly salary of around $ 560 and can be said to be $ 560 always run out every month because of a lot of expenses, I try to leave $ 100 for saving or invest but this is very difficult because of me Also help younger siblings to school.

Earning $560 per month and saving $100, considering all your other expenses, looks like a great achievement to me. Of course it's difficult, but you manage to do it nevertheless. Good job!

From what I see, you have achieved your financial freedom, since you're even helping your younger siblings. Why are you saying that there's an obstacle to achieving it?

I am liking this super extreme high volatility slots like Clash of Camelot,I won a lot of money but I can't post a bet that is further than my last 1000 bets in Stake so I am posting the big wins during the last 1000 spins,I played at work,the usual bonus of 20 dollars and got to 257 dollars in total.As I said unfortunately I cannot share the 1700x win so I am sharing the big wins of my last 1000 spins in this game.I think people who have enough balance can give this a try by playing at the lowest bet like I did because with higher bet this game will crush the hell out of every one.

https://stake.com/casino/home?page=34&iid=house%3A160477582734&modal=bet

This is the nature of most Play n Go games, the chance of hitting free spins is bigger than the other providers but the result of the free spins is usually around few hundred X only. I can even say that Play n Go is better than pragmatic in this case. Hitting 1000x up is a really huge luck in Play n Go games like what is shared by roycilik few days back. I have to say Play n Go is a good provider to build up bankroll, but it is not good enough if the main purpose is to hit huge multiplier.

Slots by Play n Go are nice slots and I like playing them, but usually my wins are more like these



with my $0.20 bet, and I very rarely hit few hundred X on them. But it doesn't matter because the slots are great by themselves. I like the music and animation. Rise of Merlin is, I think, is among top slots for any slot aficionado. What I personally like about this slots is that you can bet with as little as $0.01, a rare case among slots. And, of course, who's not fond of Book of Dead, Reactoonz, Honey Rush, Moon Princess and some other famous slots by Play n Go? It's a great provider imo.

The day before yesterday I rolled the cherished by many of us dicers, 99.99



I like betting on this number from time to time, but much more often I bet on the 99.90-99.99 range. In fact, this is my favourite range to bet on since lately. It was still a nice win, $2, considering that my stake was almost zero, but this feeling that the number was "wasted", this feeling was there, I must admit. Smiley

What about you, guys, do you hunt for 99.99, and what are your achievements in this field?
1506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Intriguing article: How to Perfect Your Gambling Strategy on: June 03, 2023, 09:00:24 AM
I stumble on an article[1] while browsing the net and I think of sharing it here because I find it intriguing when it gives an instruction on perfecting one's gambling strategy.  To cut it short, here is the advice stated in that article:

The article suggested that one should Develop a style and stick with it.  For those who do not know how the list below can give you a hint.
  • Choose a game
  • Create a logical system
  • Record the data of the bet
  • Try the demo of the game to practice
  • Do bankroll management
  • Make sure that you have enough money for gambling(play only what you can afford to lose)
  • Put a limit to losses
  • Listen to the advice of the winning pros
  • Focus on our bet
  • Learn to accept losses
  • Know when to quit.

You can check the explanation on the link below



Now, many of us think that there is no perfect strategy for gambling due to the fact that most gambling results are random and that we don't have any control over the result of our session.  I agree with that and I see the list above as minimizing losses and/or avoiding severe losses during our gambling activities. This might be a good suggestion to follow for those who have problems with their gambling losses.  I also think that the given instruction is far from being a perfect gambling strategy to win a session but it is good enough to follow to keep us from losing too much money.  

The last two (10 and 11) on the list are the key to keeping us from chasing losses and being addicted to gambling.  I believe gambling isn't a simple matter and it needs a lot of preparation and understanding to avoid bad consequences, not saying, it also requires a lot of self-discipline to keep us in check.

So what do you think about the list of instructions stated by the article, are they good enough to keep a person to have an edge against the gambling platform?


[1] https://ftnnews.com/other-news/44458-how-to-perfect-your-gambling-strategy

I think the following instructions are useful, and gamblers who don't know about them should read them carefully and bear them in mind from now on. These instructions are: Do bankroll management; Make sure that you have enough money for gambling(play only what you can afford to lose); Put a limit to losses; Learn to accept losses; Know when to quit.

As for the other ones, like "Create a logical system", "Record the data of the bet", "Focus on our bet" ... I don't know, I think following them may be dangerous, because this is how gambling addiction is formed: you do things like that, believing it should work.
1507  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: June 03, 2023, 08:31:08 AM
~ They are just bad losers, I am pretty sure you have met a lot of them not only in gambling but in life, they are the ones that cannot tolerate things not going their way and they even get mad when losing an insignificant board game or another non-transcendent activity.

So when they lose a lot of money when they gamble, they cannot help but to think that somehow they were cheated and create elaborate conspiracy theories about why this happened to them.

I agree with this. With many millions playing online roulette around the world, of course there are cases when gamblers lose more than expected, and some of them start creating these conspiracy theories. What they don't take into account is the opposite cases, when people win much more than expected. That's what makes the game attractive: you are not always losing exactly 5% of your money; you can lose all of it, or you can win a lot, depending on luck.
1508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 31, 2023, 10:00:46 AM
It's not the same for others and it can't be, because the outcome doesn't depend on the stake size. I mean, accidentally it can happen to me or anyone else, but it's not like a rule: you win with low stakes and you lose with the high ones. It's an illusion which many gamblers encounter, but in reality things like this are not happening in  online gambling. Mediocre screenwriters write those things in movies about casino, and then people think they "see" them. Happens all the time with many other things too.

You are absolutely correct, @Betwrong sir. I was just wondering if anyone does have such an experience—not as if it's like a permanent thing or something—but I find it to be a repeated occurrence for me, but it doesn't happen more frequently though.

Quote
BUT, if you want to gamble responsibly, you should avoid high stakes anyway.

Not at all, and it's indeed great advice, but many people to whom I have given such advice have never listened to me for any reason and have lost quite a huge amount in gambling, and almost every time they do gamble, they lose a huge amount. There is this my colleague; he doesn't go less than $20, $50, even $100, and most of the time he doesn't even win anything.

What can I say? He's a high roller. Give him your ref link! Smiley

But if seriously, it depends heavily on his income. He can be still a responsible gambler if he earns like $10k per month.

~
I am one of those people, I don't still believe that people are making good amount of money from gambling, my 1 out of 10 gambling is why brings me anything close to good win, the rest are waste of money, seeing is believing isn't it? And that's why I don't believe in stories talking about how much they win through online gambling, I knew the stories are either a fake one or the same gambling shit happened again, winning once in a while is the only possible thing with gambling.

Just don't forget that hundreds of millions of people gamble daily, so, there's a high probability that some of them are winning big. They are not lying. None of us should ever count on being one of them lucky fellas, but they do exist. They certainly do.
1509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: May 31, 2023, 09:15:59 AM
~ About the gamblers who have no or little amount of money to gamble, I don't think that they'll able to earn enough only with referrals, except for very exceptional cases.

It's possible if you are a very popular blogger with many thousands of followers. Just one high roller registered under your ref link would be enough. Another option is having a friend in real life who's a high roller and who wants to do you a favour. Just a nice high roller guy, you know. In a long enough time span we gonna meet one, I hope.

Guys look at the email I got the other day from Freebitco.in

snip
And yes, it's because I did win the 2nd highest prize of $20 at FreeBitco.in:
snip
Also I posted about it here, and now I'm waiting for the additional $5. Smiley

All of you guys playing on the site for years know how I feel. Good Luck to all of you reading this post! And hit that 10000 for $200 prize too! Smiley

Wow, that's crazy. To be honest, it's the first time I am seeing someone from the forum hitting that number.
I know it must be feeling really great to win 70k sats right out of thin air even though the amount is not very huge in fiat.
Still it's a pretty decent amount to win from a faucet. Keep rolling.

I don't think it is the first time any user is winning it from the forum but many of them have already done it. Check out the link provided by @Betwrong which leads to the Games and Round section where a number of peeps have already posted their winning seed. Somehow it is from the newbies, maybe it is some sort of competition for the extra bucks. Anyways the endpoint is they are registered users of this forum. :-D
~

That's right, people are registering on this forum specifically to make that post about their winning and get additional $5 from FreeBitco.in. Once you've won you get this email:



~snip~
How many times you have claimed the hourly faucet until now? I played the hourly faucet almost 21k times, but I haven't won the top two prizes yet. I rolled the 9998 to 10000 a few many times in the multiply BTC game. Those lucky numbers never appeared during the free hourly rolls of mine. Congrats to you!

Thanks for the congratulations!

Here's my stats:



And, actually, with more 10k free rolls played now I'm waiting for that 10000 number to pop up any time soon. Smiley

Finally, I landed some massive bonuses back to back but this time I tried other slot games just to change my environment. I first try Book of Bitcasino by Spinomenal and manage to win x100 of my bet.

~img

I feel that I'm lucky due to my beginner's luck after a long time of rest on gambling. I try to play next the game that is currently casino boosted which is Ryse of Mighty God by One Touch. At first, I was hesitant since I'm new to this provider but the game design looks cool that makes me play a couple of spins. After 30+ spin I get the bonus round that gives me x272 profit. I thought the game will not gonna end because the board keeps dropping. I thought I will hit max multiplier but it stop giving profit after that massive win.




Overall, I enjoy this weekends gambling session. I'm done for this week.  Cool

Congrats on your amazing recent wins @AbuBhakar!

I'm wondering was it a "beginner's luck" or my Lady Luck decided to spend some time with you?  Grin

Because you got a bonus round just after 30 spins and I made like 200 of them and didn't see that bonus round even once. I did have some nice wins like 5x and 10x along the way, and was close to getting a bonus round 4 times, but I always was 1 scatter short from it.

Thanks for sharing 'cause now I know she hasn't moved to another universe, she's just hanging out with you these days. Smiley
1512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: May 30, 2023, 11:35:55 AM
ChatGPT is all the rage at the moment. I’ve seen that people are asking it to predict sporting events. Would you leave gambling decisions up to artificial intelligence? Do you see any potential drawbacks for outsourcing your bets to a software program? Has anyone here tried this yet? Do we need someone to put together a thread of ChatGPT predictions to see how accurate they are?  Any other thoughts?
ChatGPT won't be of a huge assistance when it comes to gambling since it's an AI that provides predictions based on the information it has access to. It could be that AI predictions can be accurate at times but they do not guarantee 100% accuracy for your bets. I would not recommend relying totally on artificial intelligence for making gambling decisions. However, it can be beneficial to receive predictions from AI as an additional tool to help you in making your own betting choices.

It can provide logical predictions that are helpful, but it's important to remember that real-life results can vary depending on the specific games you're betting on. Anyway, I just voted "NO". Smiley

Like most people here, but I don't understand why. Why not try something new? Make the smallest bets possible, and if you are not satisfied with the results, drop it. But what if you'll see that the predictions are more accurate than yours? Will you still be ignoring it?  I mean, you might, if relying on AI isn't entertaining for you and your goal is to gamble for fun(which is the right goal imo), but for me it will be the other way round. Even if the AI predictions will be, on average, worse than mine, I will be still using AI from time to time, because it's fun for me.
1513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: May 30, 2023, 11:07:05 AM
I dont agree about changing machines or games too often.     I think you might lose what good luck you have saved up changing about too often but you have to play the game that entertains you also.  Stick with lower sized bets until you are comfortable and happy with that game and then stick to it.  If you bet smaller amounts to start it is more practice, less pressure and you can just walk away and suggested and its nothing much at all if anything I prefer that no hassle type of play rather trying or needing to win especially.
I think it was yesterday or so, I came across a user's comment on another thread where he said that the best way to make a good win from playing slot games on real life slot machines, is first, when you enter the casino, first monitor everyone playing the slot game at that moment, look for some one who's had a long losing streak, as soon as the person leaves the machine to go due empty bankroll , go and start playing on that machine, as he believed there is the possibility that after a long losing streak, the chance  to win some significant amount of money was already on the way, but the previous player missed it due to low or empty bankroll.

Ive not tried such, but it seems like a advice given out of pure wisdom.

I think it's a myth that on real life slot machines this strategy could work. Land-based casinos are interested in spreading this myth because surely some people will fall for it and casinos will get more customers. But the thing is, all outcomes are random and your chances are not improved by a long losing streak before you start playing. You still can win big using this strategy, but only because of luck, nothing else.

About review sites, you are probably right that most of them are biased or not honest with their reviews these days, maybe they don't actually review the sites themselves and write those reviews out of nowhere or by copying others.

I wouldn't say "these days" because the situation used to be much worse in the past. These days we have more and more honest reviews on various sites, especially here on bitcointalk. But the more such places, the better. They will compete with each other, and we, gamblers, will choose what is the best for us. There will be time, I'm sure of it, when these review sites will be reviewed and rated somewhere, maybe here on bitcointalk, because people need this kind of info.

I love poker. And even though Video Poker is not exactly the same thing, I love it too. So, it felt like this promo was one I couldn't miss. I played for 20 minutes, and I hit a lot of sets, couple of straights, and even three full houses



but I never hit 4 OF A KIND this time. Have you guys noticed that 4 OF A KIND happens more often in Video Poker than in a real poker game? Yes, it's true, so, it's not that hard to hit one in Video Poker, but nevertheless no Quads for me this time. Luckily, we have 6 days left, so I think I'll hit during my tries. Smiley Good Luck to you guys too!

Using artificial intelligence to make bets is not the best because we might suddenly get blocked and lose our funds if the casino we are using get to know about that. I think a time will come when crypto casinos would be using bot detectors to cach people or gamblers that are found of using rib to make bets. I still don't see good reason to use robot to make vet but whatsoever reason, we need to be careful.
This is weird claim. How would they know about it and how would that be against terms of service?

I see no reason to use AI either but people have been using scripts for crash-type games since forever. And at least one casino has their own window to write that script. It doesn't help because there are no algorithms that could beat casino's edge. But people still keep trying. I guess fot that same reason they would try AI as well. Casinos would know that it doesn't help so they wouldn't or couldn't ban it.

I agree with you, people are allowed to use various algorithms because as long as they play by the rules they can do anything that makes their experience more enjoyable. These days online casinos don't ban gamblers that win a lot, be it lucky slot players or poker pros. This practice was employed like 50-100 years ago in some land-based casinos, and people that have little to no idea of how modern online casino work keep repeating this nonsense here and there.

~ There's what people called free giveaways, where you're permitted to join a quest for receiving anything for free if you're lucky or being eligible, gambling is all about playing games, both live or virtual games and sports, you bet by using your money to stand in for you that if your prediction is accurate, you stand a chance to make a winning, i don't count anything that does not do with money a gambling because you're not staking anything for such.

And you are right, imo, because gambling, by definition, is about staking something valuable. Yes, some activities, when nothing valuable is at stake, still called "gambling" sometimes, but those cases are the topic of discussion rather on linguistic forums than here in Gambling section.
