How about we give away another Sportsbet.io merch bundle  Cool

The winner(s) of the Round 32 Yellow Cap will also win:
Choice of Arsenal or Southampton Shirt AND Sportsbet.io Hoodie + Hat combo

*Limit one Sportsbet.io Hoodie + Hat combo per person*



I finally got the shirt I won after my cargo waited at customs for some days.  Grin

Thanks again Sportsbet.io and @jeremypwr for this and the extra Arsenal shirt you have sent to me also.  Smiley   Both of them look really great and I'm even happier about taking that yellow cap now.

And of course thanks @hilariousandco for creating this entertaining pool.  Smiley

I hope that Arsenal can keep up fighting for the league title until the end of the season too.

Congrats, @ILuckyGuyI! You are lucky indeed, aren't you? Smiley

As I said earlier, from my own experience, they are not just shirts, the quality is amazing. Top teams can afford their jerseys made by those top in the business. You'll see it for yourself.

Great performance from your side and great reward from Sportsbet.io's side either. Congrats again, mate!

I wouldn't blame them if they were people of low income.

Most people here have a low income.
To get a start up Capital you can even get a a smallish budget if going hungry now and then. What do you need 15 pairs of low quality shoes for?
That is the art of saving, saving for a purpose.

I agree. It's better to have 2 pairs of high quality shoes instead. This also applies to many other things: clothes, food, utensils, various tools. That's how we lose money, we buy stuff that we don't need or of low quality. We are left with nothing to save because of that.

I think it is a dream of any artist that his/her work was appreciated to the extent that it was placed on the official site of of such a big casino as Roobet. Although it is hard to compete with those professionals that create images for the casino, I hope one day someone from our forum will create an artwork of the level of that you presented as an example. It is is a very beautiful art indeed.
It is double win for an artist.

Joining an art contest, win its award in money, free spin to play games on Roobet and have entertain time.
Later if lucky enough, some of his arts will be chosen by Roobet to put it on the official site. It can be a resource for that artist CV which is very helpful for his career and potentially help him to find more jobs.

Exactly. It's not only about the prizes in the art contest, and the fame here on this forum. It's bigger. That's what I'm trying to tell people I know who can actually create something worthy. They listen and they agree, but they never create. You have to put your time and your hard work in,  and it's not as easy as it might seem. I admire people who participate in the Roobet Art Contest, and I wish all of them the best in the future.

If the OP could pull it off as per the title of this thread, and have a decent job that pays well worth it. then do it, at least it's better than you wasting it. let's reflect for a moment, around us, there are many people who are not well off. even to meet their standard of living, they have to look for additional work. since post-covid, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, its impact on the economy has been felt in all sectors. it's hard to find a job, even if there is one, the salary we get is below the minimum wage.
In other parts of the world, there are still many hungry people. don't save, just to get food today, it's very difficult for those who are lacking. so, share those of you who still have decent jobs.

If saving is good for you, then do it. but before that, you must have a plan and know what you are saving for. at least, you have a goal to save. By the way, in life, sometimes things come unexpectedly. good and bad in life, is a cyclical process that everyone can experience.

Yes, and during those "bad times" you might need what you've saved, no doubt about it. But even if you'll never need to spend those saved money, it's a good habit to not spend all you earn at once. Realizing that you can actually live with smaller amount makes you less dependent on your current salary, and one day you may consider moving for a less paying job but less exhausting too. We need that move sometimes to have more time to spend with our family, to learn new things etc.

This is true, but only if he/she is not a dictator. Since we are talking the USA elections here, it's true, the president has a team, and this is what actually counts. A team of professionals that supports the president will make things work properly. A wise person can get a team of wise advisors, he/she doesn't need to know everything, the team will help. Voters know it, and they will elect someone with a better team.

As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with your entry. But the manager (AleksandarZ) has made a mistake in the reward link. He had posted the week 51st reward link for week 52nd. There are less then 330 eligible entries in 52nd week challenge, while the link was for 373 users Cheesy.



Anyway, I have discussed about it to their live support and they updated the link after a few minutes. Try to claim your reward now.

Wow! That's a reply! Thank you, @Mahdirakib!

Did you participate yourself? And if yes, did you receive your bonus?

Because, even though the link was updated, I'm still getting this message, "Bonus code cannot be found or is unavailable." :

From what I know, AI could beat good poker players long before ChatGPT was introduced. But it was able to start beating human players only after playing many games with them, particular players, at the same table. There's no universal formula for that. Imo, if you analyze the moves of great poker players and play accordingly, you'll do maybe a bit better than poker bots, but still not that good to be winning most of the time. Winning poker strategies change with time, and those guys best in the field change their style too. Maybe one day AI will be able to do that too, but at the moment it is not superior to good human players.
Without AI I should also be able to beat other players to play poker because I am talented at playing online poker but not against poker machines, sophisticated technology does not mean that making poker games easy to beat with AI but only to analyze how the opponent plays so that they are easy to beat does not mean defeating .

I think people are overusing this technology, even for online poker gambling games. Obviously, this is something that doesn't need to be done, in my opinion. use AI wisely to do a great job besides gambling which can benefit yourself and many people.

I imagine soon enough we'll be explaining our failures in poker like "It was a f**king AI next to me at the table! You can't beat f**king AI, can ya?" Smiley  While in fact it was just a human player better than you.

Beating poker bots is easy, everybody knows that, and it's too expensive to employ an AI for it to learn your style and win your $50 in the end. The server costs won't be covered.

That's what I think regarding the current situation, but it can change in the near future.
1869  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: May 14, 2023, 09:22:20 AM
~ Indeed, we should concentrate on our goal. Buying anything you want right now and achieving financial freedom in the near future are two very different things, things things that are mutually exclusive, I would say. Expensive things that are proposed to you by some "beautiful sellers" shouldn't be a temptation for you at all. All your expenses should revolve around your main goal - achieving your financial freedom. Without this set of mind you will hardly achieve it.

You should have that limit when dealing with your expenses, if you are planning to have a better life in your future investing and saving while you are still young and you are still capable is the right timing for you, don't be bothered by those tempting things which you can buy as a like and not a need, it will reflect on you after some years of avoiding and trying to save some portions of your salaries to attain success in terms of financially established.

Spoiling yourself with unnecessary buys is never a good thing, but if you have such a big goal as achieving your financial freedom, it's double worse for you to spend money that way.

~
So true. But avoiding the temptations that come to us is sometimes quite difficult to avoid. But yeah, building commitment and focusing on goals can strengthen us to remain unobtrusive and on the right track, namely to get to the financial freedom that we have planned. I hope all of us here who are struggling to get to financial freedom can stay strong not to be tempted to spend money outside of our financial plans.

I hope for that too. I think this community here is helping people. It has helped me in a lot of ways, and I hope many others have read important advises here.

~ But that doesn't make sense at all. mempool was actually going up since January, because that's when ordinals started but we saw the biggest price increase in such a long time.

Also if there is no btc in exchanges, shouldn't price then be higher? Less supply?

I still think it's because of USD increase, which is now higher strength in a month's high versus euro Smiley

But what do we know right??

People don't like it when they need to pay over $10 for a single transaction, and when it's getting even worse they they start losing faith in BTC, and the price drops. Old timers, they saw it before, so for them it's nothing to worry about, just an opportunity to collect cheap satoshis, but apparently there's a lot of newcomers. But I think we can see over $30k in the end of the month because there were over 300k unconfirmed transactions several days ago and now that number dropped 10% to 270k. Those who bet on this range



still have a good chance, I think.

They will. Not all of them, but might be enough for a casino to go bankrupt. The algorithm for the whole process of a bonus program should be something that allows some gamblers to win big and withdraw, to spread the news, and, on the other hand, something that doesn't make the company to go over their promotional budget. It's good if the company is big enough to allow some unexpected expenses, but for a small company it can be a challenge.

I'm pretty sure that they would have a stop mechanism in place that would stop withdrawals if something goes wrong.

That has happened many times in financial institutions when they stop trading, so in a casino I'm sure they have similar mechanisms.

There's no way a casino will go bankrupt because of a bug like that.

Just stop? Without saying a word in advance? I disagree with such policy. I mean, bonuses are are there to attract people to the site. To make them register. If a site has a stop mechanism in place, like you said, they should state it in their ToS: "We reserve the right to suspend your withdrawal if something goes wrong through our fault". Without something like this it's not fair.

For small casinos, if someone bets big on slots, they will get nervous because they may not be able to pay the player's winnings. It's a pretty common case for slots, so better play at a big casino if you want to bet big, especially on slots.

Big casinos are usually better than small ones in many ways, including the case you mentioned. I wouldn't recommend to bet big for anyone, but still it's better to play on big and recognized platforms.

It was for this contest, [$800] PD Weekly Heroes Wk52

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Far from it. I love Primedice. I'm rolling on the site since 2014, it's always a great experience. If it will be a mistake on their side, it will be for the first time. But I think it's my bad, I just can't figure out why I'm getting this error message

Limbo didn't "figure out" your plan, mate, it's just so happened. And I congratulate you on such a big multiplier, it's amazing! You won $2.57 with betting something really close to zero. I like making such bets myself. My biggest multipliers were 9,900 several times on dice, but moneywise it was never above $10. Again, congrats, and don't feel bad about not staking much more, like one or two dollars. Responsible gambling above all. Smiley

But not to criticize, any full adult that can make decisions for themselves really knows what is best for them and should go for it; gambling is full of fun, and the wins that come along, gives someone happiness. (Haha), I sometimes get too busy to even think of gambling, but since I love gambling on sports, my friends are very good at sending me some booking number,  I just need to put the number in the betting platform and stake the amount I want. The funny part is, sometimes I don't even remember checking if I won or if it got buste (just me being lazy).

Wins from gambling do make people happy, I know it from my own experience. Thanks to gambling I had so many happy moments. Thousands of them. And since I bet normally with pretty small amounts, I've noticed an interesting thing: in gambling winning not very significant money like $5-$6 is what makes you happy, while if $6 just appeared in your pocket out of nowhere you wouldn't even notice it, probably.

Of course, winning $6 from betting $10 doesn't make you happy. But in a case like this



it surely does. Smiley
1875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: May 13, 2023, 07:13:55 AM
In my opinion, I think referral bonuses are typically waste of one's time because of its processes that seems so impossible to claim and recently I came across a thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437603.0 seeking for Casinos with paid referral bonuses and I tool out time to read most of the responses there and they all seem impossible to claim referral bonuses.
I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses and how easy was the process and what Casino did you claim those bonuses

I've never had refs myself, but I heard that it's not "waste of time", as you put it. In fact you don't waste any time, do you? The whole thing works on the background without your interference. I remember a funny case on freebitco.in, when a guy won the main prize in the weekly lottery without buying tickets, or even playing on the site during the week. He just got 1 ticket from his ref and won with that single ticket.

There's no point in achieving anything by gambling, because that's where addiction begins. All those addicted to gambling want to be something great in life, but choose the wrong path.  

Wanting to be something great in life isn't a bad thing, and you may be even hoping to get it through gambling, through poker, like several great people we know, or even through slots, if you want. The key is to not lose more than you can afford to lose in the process. You shouldn't think that after many fails you are bound to succeed. That's not how gambling works.
1877  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: May 10, 2023, 11:32:10 AM
Thanks for your support mate!

Indeed, I'm tired of watching such videos, and it's even more annoying to see positive reaction to this garbage. 4k likes from losers that can't accept their losses without blaming someone!

And look at the pinned comment to the video:



A winning strategy for a totally luck-based game, FFS! What else do you need to see what kind of guy this RouletteMan is? But, no, some people just choose to be blind.
In a way this makes sense, if people came to accept the fact that they lost the money against a particular casino simply because that is how the games are designed to work and learn to move on, then how those which sell useless strategies are going to make money?

So they need to convince naive players that it is in fact possible to win in a luck based game, and some of the reasons that explain why this has not been the case yet is that they have been cheated and that they have yet to try the strategy they have created, reasons that we know are false but which will resonate with enough people so they keep trying those useless strategies.

Well, before I saw that pinned comment to the video I thought they were just a bunch of idiots on that channel, with another bunch following them. But saying they know how to win in roulette makes them liars, apart from still being idiots, obviously.

There's so little reliable info on gambling anywhere apart from this forum so that people watch and read some total garbage and some of them believe it. It's terrible.

I always use other’s achievements as motivation to keep me positive when gambling. Jealousy will just make people greedy on hitting higher win without thinking logically. I have a long weekends this Saturday and I’m planning to do a marathon slot games on my free time.

I hope that we both hit more than 1000x win and share it here again to inspire other user. Wink

I didn't have time to be rolling on slots on this last weekend, but today I had 20 spare minutes and I used them playing my favourite slot.

At first there were many spins without any scatters or with 2 of them max, and I started thinking about wins I was getting not through free spins, but during a regular game. I'd noticed that wins like these:







when you get 10x+ of your bet, they are also something that makes you happy. I started to be satisfied with such wins and dropped the idea of chasing those scatters. Well, as they say, when you stop wanting it so much, it happens, you get it.  





Not 1,000x+ but I had my fun, that's for sure.

What about you guys? What were your biggest wins without hitting free spins?
And what were your biggest wins with hitting free spins? They say the max win on Bitcasino Billion is 15,000.00 of your bet. Anyone was close to that?
1879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: May 10, 2023, 09:06:01 AM
~

Development of AI is guaranteed in the next few years. It's possible that AI will level up in a way we can't really imagine at this point of time. But as time passes by when technology and innovation gradually progress, for sure it will pave its way to thrive as well. Nowadays, AI can be used for various reasons such as in academic related and even in programming. Perhaps in the future it could predict and even empathize with emotion and relate to circumstances if ever needed by the person who asked.

AI has still a long way to go. It can definitely be useful in gambling, but for me, it's still much better if personal considerations are still going to be the main basis for decision making.

I agree with you, it's more fun, innit, to use your own mind when making your bets. I can imagine how boring it can become to use AI all the time, especially when everyone will be using it and hence the outcome odds will be decreased to something like 1.02. I  think it will be fun in the early stages, though. During the first couple of month when AI is possible to use for sports betting, it'll be fun, imo.
1880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: May 10, 2023, 08:21:39 AM
~ When a gambler tries to win back his past losses, he is clearly not in his right mind. This contributes to making bad decisions and repeating mistakes. So I agree with you. Every gambler should know how to lose, how to let go of lost money and how to stop in time. Without this, gambling will simply turn into a losing streak, which will eventually lead to not only financial but also mental problems.

Mental problems are the worst of it all. You can lose all your money, and being in the right mind you can earn through various jobs, you can earn it back and more. But if you lose your mind it goes down the hill right from there: You try to recover your losses through gambling borrowing money here and there, and losing the borrowed money you become even more insane. And it's harder and harder to stop, but what's important to know is that, although it's very hard, it's possible to stop at any point.
