181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Max Win is the worst thing that could happen to you. on: May 07, 2024, 08:05:06 AM
Most casinos nowadays don't let you do the KYC process until they request it, this means you will not get KYCed unless a lot of money or fraud is involved, but it would be nice if users could do the KYC process before deciding if to deposit or not.

Well, this time i have 3 questions for the community, i want to see what people think about how gambling works nowadays.

If you could do KYC process before making a deposit, would you do it?

When a user wins a huge amount the real nightmare starts, the users have to complete the worst KYC process he will see in his life, so, should users be afraid of getting a Max Win?

Casinos ask for KYC to avoid money laundering, but if the gambler isn't able to give the requested data then the casino keeps the money. If the casino keeps the money isn't that Money laundering?

I am never afraid of hitting the max win as I always do at least level 2 KYC so I have the limit of 10.000 to 50.000 dollars depending on the casino,nowadays most of them offer that 50.000 dollars level.So it is better to do the KYC and after you have done it the best thing that can happen to you is exactly a max win and not the worse thing,so it all depends from what perspective you look at something,yet I insist hitting the max win is the best thing that can happen to a gambler.

It is funny as I was watching Eurotrip,a movie of 2004 and there is a scene with the Manchester United ultras where they say "this is a private members club of the greatest football team in the world,Manchester United" and right after that movie I saw the game of Crystal Palace vs Manchester United where they were thrashed from Crystal Palace 4-0 which made me laugh a lot yesterday night,I wonder when they will sack Ten Haag if they ever will.

Due to the subsequent demotion of Sainz by one position, the points have been reduced for most people, as they have for me, but nothing has changed in terms of the yellow cap.

The fact that such decisions always have to come so late from the FIA is still incomprehensible to me...



I had him exact and 1.5 points so now it means I have lost a position in the ranking yet I don't mind that much as most persons have also lost these points as I saw many to have him in 4th place.Anyway finally we are getting there where tracks are more beautiful,in Europe where hopefully emotions will be even bigger than they were in this last race in Miami.Can't wait for the legendary track of Imola after 2 weeks.

Its a good idea to have the customer service but also I guess the model is the faucet and simply run bets etc.  not quite the same as other casinos with a more premium based game setup.   Its best for everyone if queries are answered etc.

If my maths is right 34,688 tickets even though it sounds alot for winning 3 BTC is not a bad return on the likely cost of the tickets.    My guess of a possible low ticket amount winning is sadly not the case this time though I still believe its possible.

Well that was the last round winner and it is the first time I see such a huge number to win the Golden Ticket draw because as far as I remember the number,the biggest number has been 107xx tickets in any round,still 3 Bitcoin is a great prize and it can be the sweetest one if you happen to have a lot of referrals and you only claim those benefits,it is a great situation.However I believe the winner of this last round to have been a huge gambler and to have gambled a lot or to have taken profit of these last Golden Ticket boosts that have been here lately with us,either way big congrats to anyone who wins 200.000 dollars.
185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: May 06, 2024, 05:38:19 PM
Gamblers need to learn to keep their feet on the ground and avoid dreaming with their eyes open, without a doubt it would be great if we could make a big bet and win it with a big multiplier, this way we could get a lot of money with little effort, and while this may happen to a few people out there, this is not very likely, with the most common scenario being that instead you will lose your money and you may even begin to accuse the casino of cheating, even if an honest casino will never cheat as it can beat most gamblers anyway given enough time.

I agree with you. Never hope that you can win a jackpot or a big bet with a multiplier. The possibility is very small. Casinos must also have put together a system that works in their favor. This is not cheating but the casinos create a probability system that will be more in their favor. For example, you bet with a multiplier of up to 10 times your bet. Casinos definitely don't create odds of around 10% but they are definitely below that number.
Or in other words, this is the same as hunting for meme coins which have returns of up to 10 times. There are hundreds of new meme projects and don't expect to be lucky enough to get a good one in the early sales stages. I have seen many people lose money due to scam meme projects.

That is right that the chances are low but most gamblers play almost daily and they say the same in the chats of many well reputable casinos "keep grinding" meaning they are in trying to hit that huge multiplier and of course the higher the bet the better the payout of the jackpot or max win if they happen to hit it.I also think that the risks are much higher as 99.99% you don't hit a max win or jackpot so why bother in the first place.
186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: May 06, 2024, 05:05:31 PM
I will never make a suggestion to a gambler to gambles when he is financially incapacitated, because even if he manage to look for little amount and use for gambling, there is no hope or certainty for him to win, so I don't see the essence why he should not rather uses the money and feed himself or for other purpose and wait till he is being able to afford having enough to be used for gambling purpose, we shouldn't forces ourselves to gambling, it has to be done under free and convenient atmosphere suitable for us and not for us to gamble and leave other things to be done undone and we are also affected.

I think that poor people can be financially different, after all, this stratum of the population also has those who earn more and earn less.
Nevertheless, the only thing that matters in gambling is that you are very rich, or you are poor or middle class. The difference is that the rich play for emotion, and the poor play for hope. And only in rare cases, they do not hope for a monetary victory, but only for getting good emotions.

an idea to contemplate and discuss is if poor people remain poor for lack of skill, lack of opportunity, a combination of both or something else that is different than that.
emotional awareness is something to consider as you mentioned but risk management too, many such stories of rich people who become poor and vice versa.

You have one very important thing, because when it comes to doing things better it is based on obtaining new skills, that is why you study, that is why eprosna looks for a way to earn money doing a job that is not so complicated, but given. that complicated things are the ones that make the most money, it is understood that when we are generating some money in a casino, Whether poor or Rich , the Person has to be aware of collecting that money, challenging things can be very easy. In this case we are people who every time we do something to Improve it is out of knowledge, and although a lot of knowledge does not guarantee winning in a casino.


It is really true that having extensive knowledge is not a guarantee to get earnings. That's why it's better to gamble for entertainment only. Now there are enough or not many people who do that in gambling, gamblers.

So we are just a game to have fun, just don't be the way or allow things that are not good that can push us into addiction that can also destroy us in the end, instead it should be a good result in the end.



It is true that most people start gambling for fun but it also true that because of the economy of anywhere in the world is getting tighter and tighter that in Europe for example in some countries people are moving from the city center to village life because of unbearable living costs,many people also think of gambling as an escape route from their daily problems.This is a dangerous double edge sword as it can make people fall even deeper in their economic problems.
187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 06, 2024, 04:48:21 PM
Im gonna expect a PSG comeback and a Real MAdrid simple win without so much margin against Munich for this two second games of the series.

I dont think PSG is gonna fail in two games in row, and also i dont think Bayern Munich can be the solid it was in Germany and also the lucky because they find two super fast goals who overthrow the whole game.
The matches for the second leg of this season's Champions League are actually equally interesting to watch because each team is not far behind on aggregate. So the matches between PSG and Dortmund as well as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will be equally fierce because they will both try with all the abilities they currently have in order to qualify for the final round. Because the second leg match is quite an important match for all of them and this will make the audience even more enthusiastic about watching their two matches later.

These matches are equally entertain to watch but i will prefer to watch bayern vs real madrid rather than PSG vs dortmund. Bayern is now facing a very difficult situation when the team must have won the game against real madrid. Real madrid is just getting its main goal keeper back again.
We do know that how good curtois, He is in the same level as neuer. It's possible for bayern feels more difficult to score against real madrid in away game.


My pick for the upcomin game will be

Real madrid win
BTTS for PSG vs Dortmund.

Many will pick Real and Paris to win their respective games and that is the right choice because I don't see any surprise element left for these return legs,Real at Bernabeu can just beat anyone and also Paris in Parc de Prince can usually win any opponent there.The great job is all left to the German squads to pull it off if they will be able to do so and one of them to reach the final.It would be the biggest surprise if the final is all German Wink.

I don't want to sound racist as I am a pro feminist guy yet I think that guys are more resistant to loses because of their nature that are used to endure more in their life but that is a general statement,that is in the majority of the cases,in specific ones females may be much more resistant to loses,especially those women who happen to have married the wrong man and are used to troubles in their life,they can endure more than anyone else.

My disaster keep going in this pool, seems like i can do nothing, only cry and drink.

Well lets put all the mind in next year Tongue

You are not alone,except the beginning weeks where I was in the prize spots I have been going from bad to worse and it does not look like it will stop.I thought at least there are some yellow cap prizes for grab to have some free bets yet it looks like I am doing really bad this season,last season I managed to get the last prize of 0.005 so I played with that winnings during this season.Now I also look forward to the next season like you,at least we are doing somewhat better in the other pools so that is somewhat reassuring,while in here there are three other yellow caps for grabs until it ends.
190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: May 06, 2024, 02:52:51 PM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.
Risk plays an important factor in gambling. Those who can usually take big risks can excel in gambling. A rich person can take big risks if he wants to but a poor person cannot. Poor gamblers find it difficult to take risks as money is limited. Due to which rich gamblers have increased chances of winning. Although their rates are not low, their scope is high. But it is also true that if luck never favors then even a rich person won't win no matter how many times they try and on the other hand even a poor gambler can hit the jackpot. Poor may win more then rich in terms of winnings. Although there are no statistics, those who have more money have no problem taking risks in gambling.

The big risks usually do not excel in gambling in fact quite the opposite I would say,it is a sure way to go to misery and total failure in every aspect of your life.You know if someone is addicted with whores he spend some money and that is it,the same with alcohol they spend some money and that is it but when it comes to gambling the more money you spend the more the risk increases of a huge failure,I know a lot of persons who have lost everything in gambling.There a very few persons who have won a huge jackpot by going bold and taking risks yet these very same persons have lost it all after they have won such huge jackpots,you can just google about it and at least 10 or more persons will come up that won a huge jackpot and lost it after in different ways,that is why taking risks never excel in gambling in the long run.
191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: May 06, 2024, 02:34:27 PM
If your hunch says today is not lucky when playing bets, then you should stop because if you are forced to keep playing, you will finally experience defeat. Thinking to continue betting to restore the previous defeat is the wrong behavior because we are not able to guarantee in the next bet we will get a victory. I will stop if I experience this and return to play the next day if you want to continue.
You're absolutely right.
It's important for gamblers to always follow their instincts especially when you're struggling within yourself on a certain decision, for example, if a gambler is on a winning streak and then you get to point where you start losing, a gambler's instincts will always tell him to quit and walk away with what's left, but the greed in him will push him to continue so he can be able to recover all the losses. So it'seft for him to make his choice, whether to walk away or to continue.
Without being told, a responsible gambler would know that continuing to gamble in such a situation and ignoring his instincts would lead him to doom and regret.

Very often it happens that intuition fails a person, so always follow only intuition in gambling is not a very good decision. Act within your risk management and strategy and then you will be ready in advance for any result in gambling. Only cold calculation allows you to remain steadfast in the most incomprehensible for you situations. Intuition in such situations can lead to error, as well as emotions.
Yes before anything else, it's advisable to always acknowledge and recognise the level of risk you're willing to take and be sure you don't exceed that level, to avoid risking more than one can afford to lose.
Not just in gambling, but in every area that involves putting or staking money. This often helps to keep the person in charge of your decisions and to always manage one's emotions regardless the nature of the situation.

That is correct but to counter it also fortune favors the bold or if you don't risk it don't win it are also correct so it all depends on the point of view of the gambler or person involved in the gambling activities.I mean it would be great if most persons thought about the first option and they put a limit on their money that they will spend in gambling before they put them in and stick to it rather than the 2nd or 3rd option but unfortunately the reality is that most gamblers go with the 2nd or 3rd option and they have these statements as their leader thus leading to brutal loses in most of the time during their gambling activity.

We should all fight to bring as many people to the first way of thinking and that is you put a limit and you try that,whatever happens you then immediately quit that session.

Nothing is profitable nowadays so what I would suggest mine a coin that you believe to have a bright future and make some of them,you can also change in different coins that you believe as you may believe in different coins.You can also mine other coins and exchange them in the coins you believe,there is the only way to make this card profitable in the long run as for nowadays I keep running my GPU with 2 x 3060 ti and I am mining Raptoreum because that is the coin I believe in from the alt coins and the card consume less energy,options are there,you just have to be creative.

Circlehash does not have a good reputation, so it cannot be trusted with real investment.
They may offer mining devices and give you profits, but there is no guarantee that they are doing real mining. Do you get mining pool data and the blocks that were actually mined, or do you get a circlehash balance and then withdraw it?

I will avoid Circlehash and will buy bitcoin or ask friend to buy miner than trust Circlehash
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/circlehash.com

This is a great observation and we should bring back the memories of old time when Hashprofit and Hashocean did the same thing except that they cheated a huge amount of persons because at 2014-2016 time they were hitting hard on cloud mining and at that time it was not mining as popular as it is now.So anyone offering such services should be seen with at least the benefit of doubt for the simple reason,if someone makes money with a form they most likely are not willing to share their secret with everyone else for free,they would keep it to themselves and make money with it.I don't trust any cloud mining service,even the ones like Genesis and some others who allegedly had real mining hardware in Iceland  Grin.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you disguise on your real gambling lifestyle just to help a friend/relative? on: May 06, 2024, 01:39:30 PM
I beg a pardon if a thread like this has existed here.

I have been around my gambling friends and I have always acted to be 100% sticking to my gambling budgets such as how many times, a specific time and how much to spend on my gambling.
Once awhile I actually breaks that budget but though it does not affect my daily life and my bankrolls.
I literally claim this righteousness on my friends who are running out of their emotional control from gambling and psychologically I expects them to have me as an example whom they should emulate from in other to be recalled and take back control of their emotions while gambling.

Does any of you guys have any negative side of gambling habit in you which literally you advices anyone not to exhibit it?
Or can you afford to hide your real disreputable gambling life just to help an astray gambling friend or relative?

If that friend or family relative has gone to far I am glad to hide my real identity and to advice them to stop,in fact it has been long enough I only gamble online and except my wife no one knows I gamble,so in the eyes of the world I am a clean regular guy who happen to go to do his job and go to church on Sundays.I would think that when someone really goes ashtray in such a way because of gambling and it looks like they are having difficulties coming back I would definitely love to help them and bring them real advice from my experience without telling them that I gamble but telling them that I worked in a casino before,in fact many years ago I worked in a small lotto club that had some slots and there I learned gambling,so as I said I am definitely pro helping.

First win for Lando and deserved.

He was the fastest in the track but without the safety car he was probably unable to win, he gained 2 position only for the timing of the safety, when Carlos and Oscar went to pit 20 seconds before the accident.

Anyway, as I told yestarday Mclaren was able to win this week with the big upgrade.

Next race will be the time of big upgrade for Ferrari.

The race I decided not to watch turned out to be interesting.  Lmao.  Cheesy  But yeah, I will surely not miss Emilia Romagna.  If the books again line Verstappen at 1.05 or something, and disrespect Leclerc and Sainz ny lining them at 20 - 30 then I'll def bet on both.  Miami GP showed that it can be done...  That Red Bull could lose at any moment.  If so then why not in Italy too.

Can't wait to watch it!  Can't believe I'm rooting for Ferrari out of boredom for Red Bull.  Cheesy

I think the car that can beat Redbull is clearly McLaren,they showed it yesterday and although Piastri had only half of the upgrades that Norris got he managed to race brilliantly with the medium tires,the same for Lando,he kept getting to Sainz in a very fast time,in just a couple of laps,that shows that McLaren is doing great.I watched not only the race but also the post interviews in Skysports and Andrea Stella the team principal said that it is incredible work how many upgrades the team at Uoking has been bringing to make the car like it is right now,it is truly incredible work and this race win was well deserved,so based on that I think we are going to watch a beautiful race in Imola too.That 1.05 if is again needs to be betting 1 dollar for top 10 drivers to be a winner.

Manchester United has never been lucky in these last couple of years with Crystal Palace when playing away and they have always been caught even when they were winning they were equalized in almost every game they have played lately as I said.Now they are on equal terms on Chelsea and Chelsea has a great opportunity to be better in the last three games and even pass Newcastle so to be them the last team to be joining an European competition.In the beginning of the season no one would believe that Chelsea would be in an European competition,there are still three games to play so let's see how this ends up.

What a race. Norris really deserves to win the race this time. However, it was very unfortunate for his teammate, Piastri, who had to be in 13th position due to wing problems, even though he was already in a very good position.
And for Ferrari itself, I think the improvements they have made are quite good, because in the last few races they were able to catch up with RB, but they just need to upgrade their car so they can be even better. Hopefully this upgrade can improve the performance of the Ferrari.

Talking about upgrades,McLaren had made many upgrades to their car and Lando took them all while Oscar only half of them and even with half of them he was doing really great in the first stints of the race.The best thing this race showed is that Redbull is far from being unbeaten this year,well it took about 20 or more races for someone to beat Verstappen on track without Verstappen making an error or starting from the first row,all other race wins in the previous season come because of some mishap that happened to him so this makes even more value as a race win for Norris who took his first win in the 110th race for McLaren,110 the same number of races Hamilton had with the team.

Without that safety car Piastri most likely would have won the race by doing on the circuit and not being helped by external factors like Safety Car or Max who suddenly had no grip or couldn't turn the car anymore...but this sport will always deliver stories like this and Norris deserved a win in F1 way before this race but I'm glad he finally achieved one of his dreams. Now , I'm sure both Norris and especially Sainz just woke that version of Piastri that will make him simply unbeatable when he is racing anyone besides Verstappen. The kid is someone you don't want to poke when you race alongside him or against him.

The problem with Piastri was with the hard tires,they were not as good as the medium for him while for Lando in both cases,medium tires he was doing fast lap after fast lap and we saw that when he was told to get Sainz and he truly got him,he just got more than 3.6 seconds from Ferrari in just a couple of laps,the same story with the hard tires he was driving brilliantly and managed to put a big gap to Verstappen.

In this race I can't say my favorite phrase that Perez is the most mediocre driver as the Redbull car was not delivering during yesterday race so nothing to say against him for me in this race  Grin.

The Pool results are going to be interesting, for almost two years no other car other than RB or Ferrari has won... LN Winning by +7 seconds...  Cool



Landon Norris 🎉🎊

Extremely happy for Lando first and secondly that my team won a race,that is absolutely amazing.I still can't believe McLaren executed such a good race without a single error and the Safety Car definitely gave them the luck needed to come first yet with the performance seen by Lando I am sure that after Safety Car,even he started behind Max he would have catch him and overtake him.

For the pool I doubt anyone has made more than 15-16 points,I think if nothing changes I have made a nice 12.5 points because if someone has made more than 16 points I don't know how on earth they can have done it,although that Hamilton 6 and Russell 8 maybe gave them such a big boost.

I don't think the small home miners,I mean the ones with really low wattage like Goldshell or Apollo providers would be not reliable,after all their are making a small ASIC.I compare them with a Cisco (best network gear provider in the world) who makes their switches based on ASICS and I consider them with the same power as the ASICS you are mentioning,rarely I have heard them failing in high rates,in fact it is extremely small the failure rate of these Cisco devices,the same I can said based on this analogy for the small ASIC providers.I know Cisco is a world Giant and Goldshell with Apollo are nowhere near Cisco,I just wanted to make a comparison as to why I don't think they are not reliable,they should be reliable.
