There are many disadvantages of excessive gambling that we need to talk about, and I do hope that newbies who plan to start gambling will learn something from this thread.

Gambling is not for everyone, some people tend to always get attached to whatever they do in their lives, too caring, too foodie, too protective, all these comes with disadvantages too, because I believe that too much of everything is bad.

If you are someone like this, stay away from gambling.
~

I want to say that in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether you're quickly getting attached to things or not ... It's really hard to tell. What matters is your monthly income, and that's what you can easily tell by looking at your paycheck. If it's too low, like less than $400 per month(or, it can be $1,000 per month in some places. It depends on where you live.), you shouldn't gamble at all, period. No excuses. If you want to make additional money through gambling, then you need to see a doctor, a good professional who is able to explain to you have much more chances to make additional money elsewhere rather than through gambling.

do you think, this is possible or they are already doing it? popular game providers like evolution, pragmatic, etc.

Reputable game providers will never do things like that, that's what I'm sure of. Morals aside, they are making good money without cheating anyone, Why risk ruining their reputation?

Many gamblers "feel" that they are cheated by casinos, and so when there's a demand for this kind of info, there's going to be a supply.

There are many of online casinos cheating their customers, no doubt about that. But saying "we are showing ... exactly what's happening with online roulette", like this guy in the video, without adding "on some sites" or something like that,  makes this video looking more like a conspiracy theorists' stuff. I wasn't surprised by seeing this comment below the video



Yeah "Wake up peeps! The governments are cheating everybody!" Bloody hell.  Grin Grin
1643  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcasino.io 🖤 #1 VIP Crypto Casino 💠 Come in and explore our new design ✨ on: April 26, 2023, 10:06:40 AM
I'm not a slot player and this is my first time trying one using my money since I always play using free spin rewards from the casino. I became interested in trying out Bitcasino exclusive slots after browsing some huge wins shared in this thread.

I was already down by 200INR on my total bankroll and I thought that I don't have beginner's luck. I decided to activate the chance x2 feature by paying extra INR and this changed everything. I started hitting free spin and won some massive win that made me recover my loss and take home some profit. I didn't manage to screenshot all my profit because the profit display is very quick to disappear I'm on auto spin mode.

This slot game is so good for beginners like me. I'm hesitant to try it because it has a high volatility level but I took courage and it's really worth it. This is the best slot game I ever played so far.  Shocked



Thanks Bitcasino!


Congrats, @AbuBhakar! I'm glad you've discovered this amazing slot, Bitcasino Billion

I won 27x on this slot today



and, yeah, it's a BIG WIN like it says and all, but I'm so spoiled by my previous wins on it, I mean, wins like these:



that now winning with 27x of my bet I'm thinking "Hey, Where are those over 100x guys? I wanna see them!"  Grin

~
With a good source of information I'm sure AI will beat them but in terms of emotions things that only human experts can play and weight the possibilities, there's something that still needed to consider unforeseen cases that might affect how AI will decide with their recommendations, the good thing here is you can use AI recommendation or you can go to the other-side.

Something that you'll going to be against the favorite, which is most of the time I believe that AI will provide after sorting all the available information around.

Expecting that with all available information provided AI will always be right in its predictions is not wise. We shouldn't rule out the possibility of a team winning against all the odds. The question is, will AI predictions be more cumulatively more accurate than those of the human experts? I think, we are less than a year from the time when AI will beat humans in this regard.

What is the Return to Player rate at casinos?
Simply put, RTP is a measure of how much money a slot machine will pay back to players over time. It's expressed as a percentage, so an RTP of 95% means that for every $1 you wager, you can expect to receive $0.95 back in winnings, on average. The remaining $0.05 goes to the casino.

So it is calculated overtime and not instantly as many of us think.  Aside from that we are unsure if RTP is calculated individually or as an accumulation result of all players playing the slot.
~

I'm pretty sure that RTP of a slot is calculated as an accumulation result of all players playing this slot. And not only on the site you are playing, but on all sites altogether where this slot is presented. Often we here complaints about the announced RTP is bullshit because "I lost $200 playing this slot and nothing was returned to me, not 95%, nothing!". But these people don't understand that what they expect is wrong.

1647  Economy / Gambling / Re: Researching for Upcoming Game on: April 25, 2023, 12:43:57 PM
~ I wouldn't try to get information regarding gambling sites anywhere else. I'm not saying they are lying on all other sites, but what I like about this place is that any a lie will be exposed here pretty quickly, while anywhere else, I don't know, it can take weeks, or, posts may be moderated, and lies can stay forever there.

Here in forum as a gamblers we have many information we get and about online casino for sure we can get some tips by users who already try in that casino. And also through this forum we can search the upcoming casino because some casino made their announcement thread even though they are planning to build a casino and this is the most advantages if we are a user here in our community.

Unlike on other forums, here many of us are incentivised to make informative posts by the sig campaigns we are working for. If talk nonsense all the time, we don't get merits. If we lie, trying to promote a scam coin or a scam site, we can get a negative trust.  I don't know is there a site with the same unique conditions as here and with about the same amount of users(which is important). I really feel sorry for those gamblers who try to find the answers to their questions in other places.
1648  Economy / Gambling / Re: chinese bookmakers with tf gaming platform NO KYC on: April 25, 2023, 12:18:47 PM
That's right. I'm not sure about the site in the OP, but scammers use "NO KYC" sign as often as unreal bonuses and stuff like that today. If you are not a high level criminal or corrupted official who want to launder millions of dirty USD you shouldn't be afraid of KYC. Don't be lured by shady sites, guys, only because they promise no KYC. Research further.
Don't get me wrong friends, there are still some big non KYC casinos that have been around for a long time and are now quite popular with a pretty good reputation.
Maybe there are some casinos that are non KYC and only aim to cheat but not all of them my friend.
Regarding the bonuses given by non-KYC casinos, they must be real and realized, even scam casinos will also provide bonuses that they provide to attract more gamblers.
I know that you mean well and you don't want many gamblers to become victims of casino scammers, but your presentation is still not quite right, friend.

Of course there can be honest non KYC casinos. No doubt about that. KYC is required by the regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions where the site is registered. The gambling sites themselves don't need it, they just have to comply.  That's why I said "Research further.", not "Stay away from such sites". Smiley
1649  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - 🦉 Drake, UFC, Everton Main Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: April 25, 2023, 11:46:43 AM
No, no, that's what I'm talking about: no "feeding mode" in in-house slots either. As I said, sites of the level of Stake don't do that, they don't keep track of your winnings and losses, and they don't adjust your future performance accordingly. Everything is completely random. That's the point.

The site does keep track of the winnings and losses of an account, since if they don't then why do the site have the statistics of the amount wagered, and the amount won in each cryptocurrency they accepted?  I don't see it the wrong way, in fact, it is helpful for players because they can check their statistics.  So the casino keeps the records but I don't think they use it against their player.  The "feeding mode" happens in every casino but I do not think it is what some of us think where the casino intentionally modifies the house edge making it bigger and more favorable to the house..  Remember apart from the randomness of the result in gambling, there is also a universal law called the law of average, so if you are winning, it will eventually even out by losses and vice versa.

But it takes many millions of bets for that law of average to work. That's why it works perfectly for all players on the site, but not so much for one particular gambler. For all players it works like this: what's lost by one part of users is evened out by what's won by another part, minus the house edge. The universal law of average doesn't work on small numbers like a thousand, or 2 thousand, it works only for much higher numbers.
1650  Economy / Gambling / Re: What else should an established crypto casino add? on: April 25, 2023, 11:07:23 AM
~ Online casinos are not like some dictatorship states where you are forced to subscribe to propaganda newspapers, watch propaganda movies and buy tickets of the state lottery. It's a free world, where gamblers choose what games to play and no one is forcing them play games they don't like. So, what's the point of adding a game that no one would play?
Yes you are right but if the casino can't take big profits and gamblers don't like it then the casino will never add the game ever.
Maybe some want a game that has a skill base but most others prefer games that are fun and can get adrenaline.

Sorry in advance but it looks like you failed to understand my previous opinion pal.
In my previous opinion this meant that a game if it wasn't of interest to many gamblers then the casinos would not want to launch that game into their game roster.

No, no, I did understand you, mate. Smiley I just wanted to clarify for others that if a game isn't of interest to many gamblers it's not the same as the game is not in the casinos favor. There are thousands of games that are, both, interesting to gamblers and are in casinos favour.

I'd like to add that on a higher level of analysis, it's true that the games most people don't want to play are not of much interest to casinos because they are making money from the house edge and there will be almost no money made from such games.
1651  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: April 25, 2023, 10:34:59 AM
~ Right. For me, this is more of a marketing strategy so that those who might predict correctly might be gambling sooner and start to wager an amount to bet. Maybe for now, what the site is offering is not gambling yet, but knowing this is a gambling site, it will eventually tempt you to bet an amount the next time you play in it as the rewards are quite impressive and promising. The end point here is to see you finally gambling in their site so they can start profiting from your funds.

I agree, the site from the OP isn't a gambling site itself, but it refers you to a real gambling site(anyone can see it after going by the link). So, I wouldn't recommend using the predictor to underage youth and to people with potential gambling problems. Other than that, if it will be referring you only to honest platforms, it looks totally fine to me.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's on! 2024 US Presidential Election Biden+Harris Vs Trump Bitcoin betting.... on: April 24, 2023, 09:42:04 AM
Good observation. Is it worth betting on Kamala Harris now, in your opinion? I mean the odds are even better for us gamblers today, around 12.00, but closer to the elections they may drop significantly. Her chances of being nominated are less than 50% imo, but not less than 10%.

That's what I am saying. There is a very high chance (IMO) that Biden won't be healthy enough to run for election in 2024. 18 months is very long time, and lot of things can happen. And in case Biden can't run for POTUS, then who will be the alternate choice? At this point I can't think of anyone other than Kamala. And this is the reason why I am saying that Kamala's odds look crazy at this point. They should be much more favorable. But then always remember that winning the Democrat nomination is a lot different from winning the POTUS elections in 2024.

Absolutely. I bet on Kamala to be the nominee with pretty good outcome odds, 17.00



they will be lower int the future, I'm pretty sure of that, so, it's better to place your bet right now, if you believe she has a good chance. I placed a small bet on her just in case. Won't make a millionaire if I win my bet, but will be enough for a 4-pack of Guinness and a can of Pringles, I guess. Smiley
1653  Economy / Economics / Re: Without government job we can survive on: April 24, 2023, 08:58:09 AM
It is true that relying solely on government jobs for employment opportunities can be limiting, as governments may not always be able to provide jobs for everyone. One thing to know, however, is that not everyone has the resources, skills, or education to start their own business. In addition, government jobs provide stability and benefits that may not be available in the private sector.

I think it's not about starting your own business, for which, indeed, you need a lot of money and knowledge to be successful. You are right that government jobs provide stability and benefits that may not be available in the private sector, but normally wages are much lower there than in some private firms, so, especially when you are young, it's worth trying to work in a firm that pays a lot right now, although there's no guarantee that it will be like that for a long time.

My only consolation is that yesterday, closer to the game, I made the right choice:


~

Congratulations, but I must say that it was really bet wrong. It seems to me that you should choose much higher odds in order to maximize the profitability of your freebets.

Normally I bet with much higher odds, but my bets are very small then. Betting with 1 mBTC at once, I'm afraid betting with 100.00+ odds, like I'm betting most of the time. Smiley

By betting on a coefficient of 1.68, on average, you will win (1/1.68-0.045) * 0.68 = 0.374 mbtc
If you bet on at least 2.5 odds, then your average win will be (1/2.5 - 0.045) * 1.5 = 0.532 mbtc
The most profitable is to bet with odds in the range of 5-6 - so your average win will be in the region of 0.6 (almost twice as much as your choice gave on average).

I don't get this part, mate. Please, clarify it for me. I mean, this time in particular, my profit was 0.68 mBTC. That's higher than the average win from your example, 0.532 mbtc, for betting with 2.5 odds, and even higher than an average win for betting with odds in the range of 5-6. So, I should be happy, right? Smiley But still it's interesting to me, what did you mean to say? What does 0.045 in your formula stand for?
1655  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving is Wasting? on: April 24, 2023, 07:21:41 AM
One of the best ways for a student to save for future fortune is by going through investment, as an investment generates more profits. But it could be a little hard for someone who is not getting finances from family or relatives and that makes me a 0erfect example. As much as I love to invest, I find it difficult based on what I expressed above.

It is not necessarily so. Sure, if you are billionaire, you definitely should not sit on your money, and you should invest most of it in various assets and shares. But being a student, and not from a wealthy family, I think it's better for you to not play this games, the games rich folks are playing. The thing is, they can afford losing a million here and a million there, but, being in your position, you can't. For them losing a million may be like just a bump on the road, and for you it might be the end.

~ Nevertheless if you join in any contest always lower your expectation because even many people compliments you for a well done artwork, the decision is still on the judges and we know they have different taste on what artwork for them did stand out. Well, the winners are all great artists indeed.

That's right. People around me, in real life, often say "You gonna win this time! Your art is amazing!". But some of them don't even see the works by other contestants. Many people submit their entries in the very last day, and then it becomes clear that actually competition is tough. I take part almost in all Roobet art contests and when the thread is closed I always can spot couple of works that in my opinion have better chances than mine.

Well, the inflation in my country now is not extremely high but has already damaged the economy. The cost of living is increasing and does not seem to stop. Last week one of my friends lost his job after working in the same company for a decade. His life abruptly changed, putting him in a place where he could not support his family. If you were him, how would you survive this tough time ? As a friend, I am trying to help him as much as I can and meanwhile, I am planning to save more money to prepare for the unexpected challenges in my life. What about you ?

Saving money isn't something anyone can afford to do, especially having family to support. If you make enough money to buy textbooks and school uniform for your kids, you are a lucky parent, and your kids are lucky too. Education is the most important thing we can give to our children. I would suggest to invest in education in any circumstances rather than saving "for hard times". (Speaking from personal experience.)

major bookies will open such betting line under politics. but for now, only futuur has their betting lines on this subject. but once there are clear candidates, top bookies like stake and sportsbet will surely have their lineup as well.
do remember that US elections is like one of the major global political events, so the likelihood of showing up their betting lines in bookies is quite high.

Stake is accepting such bets already:



and Sportsbet.io is accepting them too:



Biden has the best bettors support on both sites, but it's not like 1.01 for him, it's 2.55 and 2.50 respectively. It means bettors overall don't think he's definitely going to win.

~
I would guess that someone who doesn't trust the election system of USA would not be happy anywhere else neither. It is true that postal is not a great way to handle if you do not trust the system because that looks like the weakest link to it all, because in place voting rarely gets any issues.

However, looking at that so far in history of USA both sides couldn't provided a single proof that it was rigged, I would guess that it should be fine. I do say that if you are worried it's rigged, find one case of proven to be rigged and you would be right. Right wing does say this a lot, like Trump vs Biden was a rigged one kept on being true, hell Trump won against Hillary and STILL said it was rigged, so it's a right win propaganda, nothing more. There is absolutely no proof of any rigging.

Yes, saying it's rigged, provide a solid proof, that's how it should be. It's not some Carnival Game, it's a US presidential election FFS!
