1601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: November 16, 2023, 07:43:43 AM
~snip~
Part of the gambling industry the slot games, These games do not require too much effort or strategy just to play this game as long as you make the designated pattern to hit the score or jackpoot you can earn a profit, most of the slot games are no brainer game, reason why people are still addicted on it becaus the number of multiplier it can gives to the person once they hit a jackpot, and no one knows how much it is reason why they keep make a risk but of course like the other games not all the time player wins the game. Some people manage to win but because of being greedy they lose again their wages, and somehow others doesnt really have a bit of luck. So if you don't want slots what kind of game do you prefer in gambling?

Slots usually don't have the best odds compared to other games such as blackjack for example.

An advanced gambler might get close to 50/50 odds when playing correctly. You can't really apply any strategy in slots to maximize your odds.

There are some sort of "strategies" that you can apply in slots as well,they are not real ones of course but when I used to play the Play n Go provider if I didn't get the bonus for 300 spins I used to increase the bet as I knew most likely in the other 300 would surely come.This was the case in the majority of the times but since the bonus was also empty the majority of the times it was not a winning "strategy" yet a really good one to get the bonus with higher bet and hope for the best.Overall though there is no real strategies you can apply to games that rely 100% on luck.

Yeah, why not?

If someone is lucky and you see him win multiple bets and big amounts, why not just copy what they're betting? It's like a common thing on this industry especially in real physical casinos.

You may be intrigued why that person is so lucky to the point that you just want to win just as them and that's why you're asking their bets and strategies if there's any.

I don't know what odd it was that I got in a bet from tonight but I think it was somewhat on the upper side as I see that guy had gotten right all of the ice hockey,baseball or basketball games and only one game was remaining,a 1.31 odd in tennis,yet this time I was smart and did cash out the bet,it was just 11.000 IDR from a low base bet enough to cover all my bets placed yesterday and to add some 6-7000 IDR as profit.I know I am going slow with this but so far it is working for the better,it is like an ongoing lottery for me  Grin,I will share bet ID when I get home meanwhile I have quite some other bets ongoing.

If I hit an x100.000 with a good base bet no matter that I have lost big it means that I have won big enough maybe not to buy 25 laptops for those who can't but surely can buy some cheap tablets to them,like Blackview tablets which cost very little compared to other brands but their performance leaves nothing to be desired with their competition.I of course would not say the source of this income,I would say it is work I do online as a free lancer as no one knows I gamble the hell out of it,the people know me for a good Christian who goes to church every Sunday  Grin.
1604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For sports bettors, are you attracted with bet builder feature? on: November 15, 2023, 08:35:41 PM
I just recently explored the bet builder feature of the sportsbook I'm currently using, and I find it interesting as you can have more bets combine in just one game which is impossible on parlay bets. So I'd like to hear your thoughts regarding this, is it also profitable or just a waste of money?

I rarely use it as to win it means you have to get most of the different bets put into a single ticket,like one team to win,over 2.5 goals,both teams to score yes,both halves over 1.5 and all sort of those bets all in one,we know it is very difficult to hit many of these bets yet when we hit one of them of course the odd is minimum over 3 or even more so this type of bet is for someone who has a lot of money and is obsessed that at a certain game there will be goals,a team will win and both teams will score together with some other bet to add to it,most normal people are not that attracted to this,even when I stay copying other people bets I rarely find such bets available.

I woke up from such dreams long ago and now I am in the future because my past has taught me never to dine with an old lady who never showed me the road to her home,  even though she promised to take me to her palace.

Just being sarcastic anyway,  but hey mate never put your trust in gambling because doing so can ruin your life,  I have never expected anything outside fun from gambling,  I don't know but I believe gambling can never make you rich,  or give you a platform that can aid you into filling any dream.

What can ruin my life,100 IDR bets which are 0.01 dollars each and with 30 dollars I can place a huge number of such bets.For me this is entertaining myself and a way to stay away from the real gambling which are the slot machines that are the old lady you talk about,they promise you big things and most of the time are plain lies but people fall for beautiful lies easily.

I believe the platform to copy other people bets and place random bets with huge odds is just like playing the lottery but playing it daily and waking up with hopes,this is great for my mental health and I don't suffer from any of the above syndromes you say gambling will bring.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: November 15, 2023, 03:10:07 PM
Recently, I've had some issues with bankroll management. Although I've been gambling for years, sometimes I feel the urge to get more action because I'm not satisfied with my winnings. It's as if there's no tomorrow, and seizing the moment seems like the best option. However, whenever I become undisciplined, it usually doesn't end well. My realization is that no matter how good you are at choosing the right bets, without discipline in bankroll management, you'll still end up losing.

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?

If you are winning and you are not happy it means that you are winning which is great in itself as I have been losing consistently from quite a long time now.Since this is happening quite a lot I manage the balance now by placing small bets in sport by copying other people bets and I don't touch slot machines or other games that can drown your money in a very short amount of time.I know managing the bankroll is super difficult if you feel the urge to continue playing but if you let yourself loose on it only problems will be on your way,so better to stop one moment and reflect cold headed.For me the strategy of entertaining myself by copying other people bets works great.

I think Stake needs to fix the error of giving people who place bets in short amount of time,I mean sport bets from copying other people,they just keep giving me the http 429 error which is too many request in a short amount of time,they need to fix this,I am just placing 2 bets now before being put in that error,I just am there waiting,seeing other people bets and copying what bets I find suitable to copy them,however I want to copy lots of such bets as I believe someone will hit it big and I need to be there with the bet copied  Grin.
Well, been a while since I last copied any bet on stake, even though I used to really engage myself in doing that a lot in previous times for the same believe as yours   Grin, but I haven't really been lucky since I've never copied any bet that made it to winning.

In all the times I've engaged myself in copying bets from other players, I've never did encounter the error you are talking about, and neither have I ever encountered any error per say, so if indeed, the error you are talking about is a system error from stake, I trust that by now, they must have discovered and possibly are fixing it already.
I also will try making some deposit to my stake account this afternoon and try some bet copying, since I don't have any particular match in mind to bet on, and I also don't want to play slot or casino games, will try some bet copying and I hope by then, the said error you are talking about must have been fixed, if it's from stake side by the way...

They need to fix it as to access my account I used 4G from my phone for some time.Of course by copying bets is just some random play but I have won about 6 bets already in 5-6 days doing this,copying bets,I just give a quick scan to the games that are in different parlays and then choose to bet on or not.May be since I click a lot of multis to check,maybe it is because of that that stake gives me error 429,too many requests in a short amount of time,hopefully they fix it as it really need to be fixed,I want to copy a lot of bets and I don't want to delay the process  Grin.
1608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 15, 2023, 09:39:09 AM
Lewandowski is starting to get sharp again, but Barcelona must improve performance on all fronts. Especially the defense line which has been a little fragile lately. Luckily they have a goalkeeper like Ter Stegen.
Yes, Barcelona should work more on performance to upgrade the team. It is true that Lawandoski is a better striker, but now Barcelona should also work on him to provide some assistance from the midfield. Guys, I noticed from about 5 matches recently that in the absence of Frenki De Jong, Barcelona has shown extremely poor performance, and even tactic had the effect of Frenki de Jong, but at the same time I noted that Lawandoski also had an effect. Hua de Jong's absence. Because De Jong, Pedri is the one who mostly raises his assest to aim Lawandiski, meaning he mostly passes it to create chances.

It's not going to work without sending money to Barcelona. They need to spend more money and invest more in this team and because of the financial issues they have this is hard for them. I think Barcelona needs to hire another forward and finisher like Lewandowski as soon as possible but they can't and that's why this team will have even more problems in the next years because Lewandowski is getting old and he can't have good performance in Barcelona like old days.


Barcelona has financial trouble and the club has lost ability to recruit the new player. As you can see that if the club is still also having a lot of debts. La liga has been warned this club many times but the thing that is quite strange to see how barcelona was not getting a sanction.
some players will leave as free agent. Barcelona has no money to pay their salary anymore. This club may go bankrupt in the future due to the bad money management.

Barcelona needs to restructured its financial condition but i doubt it can survive with a lot of debts for long term. It just matter of time till barcelona will be give up with the situation.
The club has been selling everything to recover its condition but it's failed.

I don't think the situation is that worse for Barcelona.They are heavily relying on new players now with only Lewandoski being a senator and leading the team,we see a lot of difficulties for Barcelona when Lewandoski is not playing,they only have managed to turn situations around when they were losing when Lewandoski was playing.

I think that since they have not spent money at all for buying expensive players with the money they receive from tickets,advertising and the money they get from the Champions League plus some donations from the management they will be able to pass easily this financial crisis.

I don't think it's that difficult for Martin to catch up with the 14 points that Bagnaia has in the two remaining series this season, because if Martin has better focus in the Qatar series and the final series in Spain, I think Bagnaia will also have heavy pressure for that matter. So their competition will be presented again this week in Qatar.

With two series remaining, Martin only needs one win.
In one race series, Martin could possibly get a total of 37 points if he wins the sprint race and race. So, 14 points is very close and Bagnaia must be wary of the small mistakes he might experience.
The remaining two series will be very tense events for both riders. If Martin can get 37 points in one series, the Ducati Lenovo Team will be very disappointed with Bagnaia because Martin is only a rider from the Prima Pramac Team.

I don't think Martin will held such pressure very well compared to Bagnaia who is more experienced and also a World Champion.Bagnaia needs to be careful to manage these last two races to not crash in the early stages and then to recover gradually if it happens that he is behind Martin.Of course the competition here in the MotoGP is much better than F1 where the world Champion is already decided several races before the end of the season and this is a huge boost to better visibility and followers for MotoGp rather than F1 in this context.If the odds are good though I would bet on Bagnaia to win the season.
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 15, 2023, 08:32:39 AM
I'm not the type of person who is sure about copying other bets, even though that person's betting history is quite positive, but I'm just not sure. Because I think each person has their own analysis and luck, so when we copy that person's bet it means we don't depend on our own analysis and luck, which I'm not sure about. I would rather end up losing with my own luck than relying on other people.

That is one way of thinking about it,yet yesterday night I won two other bets,one with odds of 6.x and one with a bit higher,I am just loving to hit these bets which are multi games as before when I used to do my own analysis most parlays failed me but I was somewhat good in getting single bets right.The problem with single bets though is that they need a lot of money and once you hit a lost bet you immediately feel down dramatically,now I started this strategy of copying other people bets with 15.000 IDR and I am now at over 60.000 IDR,not the best but a good start I say,I will see how I do in the long term although the signals I got from this are positive so far.I also analyse other people bets before deciding to copy them.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 15, 2023, 08:12:13 AM
So I am tempted to inquire if skill is all that is needed to be successful in gambling or luck. Whichever be the option, which of them is the most important factor for gambling success?

IMO, skill is more important, because that is something what you can do about to minimize the risk of losing. Also you need analysis in the case of sports betting. Luck is something that is out of our control, so I don't think we put more importance to it over gambling skills and analysis.
Gambling with pure luck is the worst way of gambling IMO. I'd better have my own strategy, skills, analysis or whatever you call it to minimize the risk of losing on my bets which is far better than just depending in luck.
I have another interesting question. Does winning in sports betting because you did your research and analysis were considered luck?

Gambling with pure luck may be the worst strategy in the first place and I guess you refer to games that rely 100% on luck yet the biggest win on casinos are not on sport betting but on such games,the multi million dollar jackpots are all won on slot machines or on state lotteries which rely 100% on luck.Based on this I would say that luck is much more important in case you are after huge wins or after life changing wins in most countries depending on your base bet,if you want to win consistently then sport betting is the way to go as some analysis or insights greatly increase your odds for winning,of course not those huge amounts.

Urs Fischer is coach at Union Berlin since 2018. He achieved promotion and managed to play internationally. But it seems he is not the right coach for the current crisis. Okay, I have already written it here, the problems are also due to the transfer policy during the summer break. But Union Berlin should slowly start scoring 3 points again. The international break should be used intensively to prepare for the next game.

This International break will be short unfortunately so only one week will be off,nevertheless though Union Berlin can use this break to their advantage although judging from the actual performance I doubt anything will change.I also agree the main problem is not the coach but the transfer window which they let go quite some good players in it,now the actual group of players is struggling a lot to get good results both domestically in the Bundesliga and also in the Champions League.I don't think changing coach is the right solution to this crisis.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most you have ever lost in one session? on: November 15, 2023, 07:22:01 AM
Is it really believable? I don't think someone to lose that amount, nobody does in just one session.
Besides, you have noticed that OP hasn't complained about his losses, and never felt regret or sad about the results as it was easy to make a story that never happened in real life. 

Anyway, losses are usual in gambling and if we can't control our expensing habit, losing more is very possible. A reason why we should have set limits on the amount that we can spend in one day.

We do not really have a way to know and personally I would prefer that it was not real, since in my case it would really pain me to lose so much money over such a short span of time, however we have seen people like Drake losing way more money than that before, with the difference he is incredibly wealthy, but this makes me think that even if the story of the OP was not true, there are probably many gamblers out there which have experimented those kind of losses before.

It looks like I keep losing more and more money every new gambling session I take playing slots so I decided to quit for good and to follow only sport betting.I also am not that knowledgeable in that area too so I just prefer to copy other people bets.When I do so I check the odds,if the odds are low I copy the bets no matter that there are a lot of games into a ticket.

I have not lost a large amount of money in slots,no more than 100-200 dollars but that feeling is the same no matter if you lose 200 or 200.000 if you keep hitting those red attacks on your balance.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 14, 2023, 09:52:48 PM
Pep Guardiola had difficulty finding the right player to replace the injured De Bruyne, so he often rotated one player with another for the same purpose.
City are definitely missing the creativity of Kevin De Bruyne, what he brings to this City side makes him somewhat indispensable, but huge praise must go to Julian Alvarez, he is the player who has replaced KDB in the team, playing behind the striker (Erling Haaland), and he has been doing exceptionally well. I know he is not close to being as creative as KDB, but he is such a wonderful player and he has helped  City not to miss KDB as much as they would have if he (Alvarez) wasn't in the team.

Footballers are getting injured quite often these days and it is because of the enormous amount of games they are made to play every season, with little to no break; it is so exhausting, and the people fixing these games have to look into this. These players are also humans and it is not just about the money that the footballing bodies want to make.

Creativity, effort, consistency and precision. His passing is above everyone else's and that can make quite the difference. He really is the engine of the Manchester City game in both directions. Whether they attack or defend, De Bruyne is present at all times and decides whether to speed up the game or be calm in a certain situation. With Gundogan and De Bruyne being gone both at once, this specific kind of character is missing in the team at the moment.

I was thinking on Sunday how come it is possible for Chelsea to have won most or all duels in the midfield,I forgot about these two great players that made up a huge chunk of Manchester City success and I fully believe in that saying in football,your midfield either wins you games or lose you games,showing the importance of this department of the team,for me being the most important in the team,just look at all the glorious teams through the years not only here in Premier League but also other leagues and you will see super performing teams had always the best midfield.

Here is the first win which I hope many more to come,the odd is 42 but will be a bit lower as out of all these games one is a half loss,I have also another wounded win as one game is void and one is half win,the odds of the second ticket is lower,I have started to copy both super high odd bets as I mentioned before and both low to medium bets,I bet based on my balance although I lost all my monthly bonus playing slots like an idiot which is the last time I do,now I only focus on copying other people bets  Grin.

42 odd bet

Less than 10 odd bet

Both bets as I said are copied meanwhile I have more copied for the night from American games,let's see if I have to add other bets tomorrow.
1617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 14, 2023, 09:59:53 AM
Although only their last two games have looked promising but honestly I will not fully believe that Chelsea will really change for the better, but on the other hand yes maybe the success in the last two games is enough to indicate that there are signs of change from Pochettino's squad, although I will first fully believe but at least this is a good sign. Last season was indeed as we saw that they really slumped by only being able to finish 12th in the standings, but let's just say that it was their time of change that we some good signs have begun to be quite visible.

Yes that's right, that indeed now what most Blues fans hope is that they expect Chelsea to be able to maintain their performance like this, they hope that there is consistency created for the next few games, although it might be quite hard to expect to win the title or even enter the top five of the standings because the season time is not long anymore, for this season yes maybe I won't have too much hope for them, but for next season I don't think there is any reason for them to slump again, after all it's time for them to restore the prestige of the club in the Premier League.
I agree with you that this season is really difficult for Chelsea to finish in the top four of the standings, so they can qualify for the Champions League next season. The most reasonable target for Pochettino squad is to finish in the Europa League zone, because we know these two matches are promising but we cannot fully believe that this is a turning point in their performance.

On the other hand, I am quite sure that this season The Blues can finish in a more decent ranking than last season, I can't imagine their spending in the transfer market being so large if they fail to improve their performance so that they can finish in a better ranking.

However, Pochettino efforts should be appreciated, perhaps his tactical qualities are now better than Ten Hag. Although we will never know in the future the Blues might slump again when faced with a mediocre club.

I think for Chelsea this is a big turning point,we cannot call it otherwise,they devastated Tottenham one week before and on Sunday they completely dominated the midfield and made Manchester City look like a below average team as they were failing all duels in the midfield.If this is not a turning point I don't know what this is,we have the International break on this week unfortunately and this can impact Chelsea negatively but I think most likely they will continue on this good run and the only one to be congratulated for this is surely Pochettino,it is his hand that is starting to be felt in Chelsea game play.

What two lost games can make you in the Champions League regarding the Newcastle team,they were brought down from 1st to 4th and they now risk to not qualify at all as they are facing Paris and Milan in these last two games where they need victory at all cost in order to have a chance to qualify,for me this will be very difficult as Paris is in a really good form recently and most likely they will win the game of return and get revenge for that 4-1 lost game in St.James park in the opening stages of the group stage.

They may have a chance though to win against Milan and hoping to get third place to continue to Europa League,unfortunately most likely their journey here has ended.

There is no such thing as luck, in the sense that it isn’t something someone can have or that can be repeated. Luck is merely the expression of someone beating the odds. Most commonly it is a word used by losers to justify why others have succeeded where they have failed. Don’t get pulled into such nonsense. Just do you.

That is exactly what I want to do,copy someone who will beat massive odds,nothing more than that,it is fun to place 20-50 bets daily with IDR 100 each as minimum and have a go to hit that huge multiplier that other people are trying to beat.I know I cannot do it myself as I don't have the knowledge to put all those winning games in a single ticket nor the patience to study events so for me this remains an entertaining thing to do,I place these bets on evenings,European time as that is the time where most US gamblers place their bets and I assume they are from US as they play baseball and basketball in their tickets,I go to sleep happy and hopeful that maybe I have hit something and first thing in the morning I check my account,so far 0 success but persistence is key as they say,I know someday it will land massively.

What percentage of bitcoin investors are gamblers ?  Where will this figure be if we consider worldwide users ? I think it will be somewhere between 10-20% ? Also, it is possible that most of gamblers are still not bitcoin investors ? I see  less chances of the later happening.

Most people who hold Bitcoin,the majority of them are sure gamblers.The reason is simple,the gambling industry being the most widely accepting Bitcoins as a form of payment and only few other industries are as open as gambling platforms to accept cryptocurrencies in general.That is why I think it is in the 70-80% of the users not just 10-20% as most people who hold a large amount of Bitcoins,also have some set aside to entertain themselves and what better way than gambling to have some fun.

Investors are people who invest in different businesses and I doubt Bitcoiners are also investors.
