1501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale Betting Strategy on BlackJack, how effective it is? on: July 23, 2022, 12:59:47 PM
How about you what is your thought on Martingale betting strategy used on blackjack? Is it effective for this type of game?

It's effective if you play it right since after all, the game is not just a luck-based game. Just do your best on every round especially if your losing streak is now growing continuously to the point that it will reach already x5 and your bet at stake is now higher.

If you lose here for about over 5x streak, and it is always what happened, then don't play Blackjack anymore lol.

Choose other games instead as you don't have any skills in that game. Imagine losing over 5x several times in a row in strategy-based games. That's worst.

I understand that and we know the power of SMB, they can make it yes even with a small contract, they will bomb it with many perks that is away from the contract, legally, the contract may seem small and negotiations will take place, but Yes I agree we might be better to wait for Wright as he also have other options aside from playing inside PBA.

As far as my wild analysis is concerned, Matthew Wright's talent will not use much on Ginebra. They are already a complete team.

Tim Cone is the type of coach that doesn't make things mixed up. If he thinks that the current players on the floor are already good, he won't hesitate to bench a player even if that's a good player to start with.

Wright will also have limited minutes of playing time on Ginebra and I'm sure he already knows it.

I'm sure Wright won't sign to Ginebra but maybe on their sister teams like Magnolia. And maybe he is just waiting for the right moment that he will now sign to play overseas as imports are having good playing time there plus a wonderful big contract.
1503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If There's No Casino Signature Will The Gambling Board Still Be The Same on: July 23, 2022, 12:09:00 PM
If you're promoting a casino-based campaign you need to post at least 5 to 10 posts in the gambling section

Just for clarification, that rule depends on the campaign manager.

It's not that users need to post in the gambling section although it is just reasonable to do it for a gambling-related casino and company.

Currently there are  1136622 Posts and  5903 Topics in the gambling discussion alone the gambling announcement not included making it the most active board

Regardless, that number will still grow no matter what.

Even before, gambling discussion is already active.

If There are No Casino Signature campaigns Anymore Will The Gambling Board Still Be The Same will we have the same stats as we are seeing right now

Obviously, the numbers won't be the same but surely, this section will still be one of the most active here compare to other section

The reason is, that the number of real gamblers here is decent and they need a one-stop pit-stop place for a discussion related to their activity.
1504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it profitable to hedge/cashout bets before end of sport event? on: July 23, 2022, 11:58:06 AM
Well, if the team you bet on.... is starting to lose.. then it is profitable if you "cashout" before the game ends, because you would have lost everything if they have lost. It is very difficult to "switch" bets in Live games, because the odds change so quickly... and if you have a slow internet.. and the site lag, then it is almost impossible.  Roll Eyes

Profitable? The cashout amount should be lowered than your bet if you are losing that bet or am I missing something here? That said amount is even lowered to the point that you won't have any interest to cash it out but rather go straight to the final result.

There's no such thing as betting sites that will give you a profit once you cash out while your team is close to losing that game.

It's just minimizing your possible losses and they are giving you a chance to do it.
1505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in Moderation, Pros can out weigh its Cons in Financial and Health? on: July 23, 2022, 11:46:05 AM
Moderate gambling is easier said than done, but it is true than gambling in moderation won't really be that bad to a certain individual. The only problem is that most of the time for most of the gamblers out there, pride always dictate them, as well as their ego. There are so many things that eliminates the word "moderate" in the world of gambling, I'll add up greed, frustration, and depression.

As I pointed out, just be on our usual. If we force ourselves to gamble moderately, it will just make us feel not contented. Learn how to control the emotion as much as we can as that's a problem if we allow ourselves to be slaves to gambling.

Even if we turned into gambling addicts, it doesn't mean we are at doom. Just be responsible. I know some people who don't gamble moderately and lose a decent amount regularly but still, they are the people who are still in control of themselves.

In other words, gambling moderately is not the solution but rather being responsible even how addicted we are.
1506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 22, 2022, 11:58:48 PM
It makes sense for NBA to change some rules, if one player was taking advantage of it too much. Harden is not the type of guy that "needs" fouls to dominate, of course he is good even without them, but he was abusing them for some reason.

Abusing? Who's the one that controls the officiating? Who's the one to blame that players leads on taking advantage of it?

His move was clean and since that was effective, then he will keep on doing it. The same goes for other players. That wasn't new in the first place.

Anyways, what is the rule related to that recently changed? Can you share it here?
1507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: July 22, 2022, 11:49:27 PM
Maybe that's one of the reason, Spence is not willing to risk his records or someone from his camp sees that possibility.

I don't think it that way. If Spence is not willing to risk his records, then why does he plan on moving up where there are even lots of boxers that are even much better compared to Terence Crawford. There are more dangerous boxers that Spence will face once he moved up that can destroy his record.

It's not about the Spence record but there are other thing/s they are addressing why the fight is still not official.

For what's that thing, we don't know, and all we need is to wait.
1508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The characteristics of people who are addicted to online gambling on: July 22, 2022, 11:42:37 PM
You are just pointing out the cons and negative characteristics.

Just because gamblers are addicted, they will automatically show negative and unusual behavior? That's a wrong impression. There are lots of gambling addicts but still responsible in the end. How about those professional gamblers, considered gambling addicts, that always gamble every day?

In the end, it's our responsibility to make good things out of our gambling activity. If we allow ourselves to fall into the trap, then that's a big problem.
1509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Telegram Group and new investment plattform on: July 22, 2022, 11:29:27 PM
You mentioned something about chargeback. I thought chargebacks are not possible here in cryptos?

Clearly, the user is shilling the site about that chargeback.

There's no such thing as a company that can cover the loss of a user when got scammed by a shit company, especially in the crypto world.

How that company can even make profits for such service and doings where in the first place, scam sites don't engage or talk to anyone. Avoid any company that claims can recover the money from a scam site. I tried to visit that chargeback site to see more of their shit information but I can't access it.
1510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet (UPDATE) + fixed match on: July 22, 2022, 11:19:15 PM
Anyway, the bet won easily so I couldn't help but feel like I should've taken out the loan... Sad

What did you mean by that expression? That the community is wrong at their advice? That you blame the community as you should bring big profit?

Then what's your goal of still posting here?

If you really believed in the inside information you are getting at whatever source, then just follow what you like to do and don't engage the community asking for any advice or suggestions so you won't feel regret next time. Go take a loan and take the risks. No one will stop you.

Simple as that. Smiley
1511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Looking to start an online casino on: July 22, 2022, 11:09:28 PM
So I am interested in starting an online bitcoin casino, yet i have no idea how to start from.
I have a background in coding, and I know the in and outs of integrating crypto, yet i have zero game development skills, and i have no idea how much it will cost, and will it even get users.
Any help would be well appreciated! and looking for partners if anyone wants to start that.

That was a tough and difficult task as you don't know anything. At least if that's your plan, you have already done your homework for a long, not by asking here, but by engaging in real-life persons that involve in such activity. I also doubt that you will find a partner here since what will be your contribution as you don't know anything.

Not discouraging you but it's better to talk that around your circle so that you will not find a random partner here that might take advantage of you.

Building and running a casino should not just because you are interested in it. As I mentioned above, try to find some people around your circle first.
1512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Tips To Aide Successful Sports Betting. on: July 22, 2022, 11:00:26 PM
As far as my sports betting journey is concerned, we really don't need to memorize these sets of tips but it's a big help for staters.

When I first engage in sports betting, I don't know or even intended to learn the basics. What I did is to just stick to the sports and leagues that I personally know and have knowledge of it. While continuing to do sports betting regularly, I have become used to doing it and the rest is history.

What I'm trying to say is that EXPERIENCE is the best foundation we have. As long as we progress, we will automatically learn what to do on the way.

1513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in Moderation, Pros can out weigh its Cons in Financial and Health? on: July 21, 2022, 11:48:06 PM
I don't mind this stuff honestly. I just gambling on my own.

If you are responsible enough to play wisely, there should be no problem.

Just play relaxed and be comfortable so that we are not stressed. Gambling in moderation is good but it doesn't mean we should always keep it that way. Look at those professional gamblers, gambling almost every day but they are still disciplined and responsible gamblers in the end.
1514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 21, 2022, 11:42:22 PM
I read an interesting post moments ago about none of the active NBA players has ever faced the Sacramento Kings in the playoffs. We always talked about the top teams but never really noticed how long it has been since they reached the top-8.

16 years without playoffs appearance, no seriousness on this team. I didn't even hear them joining the free agency hunting or looking for a big fish.

What they are doing is just allowing their current roster to develop on their own. But with that strategy, look at them now.

Yes, they are a powerhouse team before but that is just history now.
1515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: July 20, 2022, 11:08:12 PM
That is the problem of the 4 belt era that the industry has now because the respective have so many so-called champions that even an avid fan of boxing will still have a hard time sinking all this information and follow all the boxers who hold the respective belts in each division. In GGG's case, he won't budge to heed the WBA's order even if the said organization/association is putting pressure on GGG to fight his mandatory challenger because GGG is not that young anymore to do more than 2 fights per year and he's just given an approx. 4 months to fight this challenger after this trilogy.

The 4-month timeframe is too short and GGG is now catching his age.

Regardless of the result here in the trilogy, GGG can't really make it to the point to become in 100% shape after 4 months after the trilogy to fight his mandatory challenger. Canelo might give him strong damage that needs months to be fully healed.

But as we are just speculating here, only GGG knows what to do in that situation and all we need is to wait.

Going back to his fight here against Canelo, the odds are really tempting for him. I'm sure he won't retire right away if he loses to Canelo here but will also put some money to him as maybe this will be his last fight.
1516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This clearly damage the gambling. on: July 20, 2022, 10:57:39 PM
And those gamblers who know about this situation won't just stop sports betting but it clearly visualized how sports betting is not the right place to gamble. This it ruins everything, trust, and reputation of the football fed as they allow this kind of game. They are supposed to think about the possible output as this has a negative impact on the gambling industry especially when it talks about sports betting.

Seriously, that will be the effect of that shitty situation that was shared by OP? Do you really think people will lead into thinking that sports betting is not the right place to gamble just because of that? Sports betting is a big market and it can't be just ruined with that small fix match.

There are lots of sports and matches!

What may be appropriate here is that gamblers won't trust that league anymore since it's prone to game fixing.

Not unless that league will be serious in giving sanctions and penalties to all those involved to build their reputation again. Although it will take time.
1517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment on: July 20, 2022, 10:44:55 PM
Play for fun and dont go into a certain extent that you are already risking out your finances just for you to play or indulge that leisure that you are seeking into.
It isnt really just right nor really that worth for you to do so.Only spend on the amounts which you can afford to lose and dont go beyond your limit.

Playing for fun doesn't make sense. If you want to play fun, there's another way without risking your money.

We gambled to expect money in return. That's more fun, right?

If you guys will just keep gambling for fun, you don't realize how much money you are losing now to make you fun. Smiley

Only spend on the amounts which you can afford to lose and dont go beyond your limit.

It's not easy to do. There are no exact figures about the amount we afford to lose. If we set a $100 bankroll and lose it, there's always a high chance that we will another money on our bankroll to continue our gambling session.

Be responsible enough to stop. That's the only solution not to go beyond our limit.
1518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: July 20, 2022, 10:33:09 PM
Harden definitely still could play amazingly. Just because he hasn't been at his peak for a while, doesn't mean he is going down and playing badly. This dude played with 21 ppg, 10+ assists and 7 rebounds per game for the sixers. I mean think about it, that's what we are going to see this year as well, maybe he will score a bit more, but that's the thing he is good at.

In fairness to James Harden, even though already considered out of his prime, he is still consistent in getting good numbers. Since departing from the Houston Rockets, he has a good average and stats playing at the Brooklyn Nets and some few games in the Philadelphia Sixers, especially in the playoffs.

It means chemistry is not a problem with James Harden and he easily adapts to the Sixers system even though there's already a main scorer there.

It also shows that Harden is a good pair and better duo with a player on another position and not the same type as his unlike on his previous teams where he shared roles with other main scorers in the PG and SG position making it a bit of hard execution in making good plays.

I was quite surprised when I read this article for the first time because they gamble not for money or pleasure but because of the culture to test luck.

this does sound funny but what do you do if it turns out that your culture requires you to play gambling?

The question is not valid to ask here. Why? Simply because we don't understand why they do gambling out of culture.

Therefore, how can we even answer that if in the very place we are not used to or grow up in that kind of situation? If we were born in a culture like that there will be no question like that obviously. I know there's a freedom of expression here but to say it sounds funny is out of the line.

If you don't understand their culture then stay out of it.
1520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in Casino tokens such as BFG, OWL or TFS on: July 19, 2022, 11:59:03 PM
When you invest in a casino token you risk that:
casino goes bankrupt
casino gets banned in some countries
casino scams and gets bad rep
token gets delisted on some exchanges

That's why it's called "risk" in the first place, right? Obviously, what you have mentioned are all "what if".
 
Of course, we will just face the risk of something that is worth putting a shot. Why invest in casino tokens just that simple without even doing further research if those are somehow worth putting money into? The DYOR acronym is not created for nothing.

There's no point in comparing it to Bitcoin for obvious reasons our options are not only limited to Bitcoin-related investments.
