1901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why going for 1.02 odds and below on: September 20, 2022, 01:12:20 PM
I am thinking it does not worth it at all. Why are some people going for non valued bet of such low odds? It would only encourage them to increase the amount of money they stake on a bet and yet losing it at once is possible. Not a good strategy at all.

What is your opinion?

Because newbie or amateur gambler see them as lossless bets; bets you can make in last minute and with 99.99% probability win. A situation when you hesitate, but 1 cent is always better than nothing. When you are scared to bet, but gambling addiction and greed cant let your money not work.

Such odds always leave a big mark when you lose. Because it is always hard to realize you have lost $10 while trying to win few cents, which makes feel like a pathetic looser.

I agree it's mostly something we do as amateurs and newbies, especially in betting on sports, when I was younger (to not say kids under 18) we were searching for +10 games with very low odds, we thought that it will be easy money... we never won anything! Smiley

But when it comes to lucky games I felt pathetic many times, I usually played these odds when I had fun with wagering for some competition or race, I make some pretty high bets at lower odds and I got burned along the way! I am not participating in those for some time, luckily!

The first thing you should do before depositing funds in a betting platform after creating account is to check their deposit limit and minimal deposit and withdraw after which develop your time to know about their KYC procedures. Is essential for every gambler to detect all these steps before hastily make deposit, and also try to know about rating is very important. For about Duelbits they are good and have not seen bad rating and they should be able to pay such amount of money.

In the past, we saw some people winning really big in some crypto casinos, and when they wanted to cash out problems started... We also saw different excuses from casino management why withdrawal is delayed, in some cases, even accounts got closed. It's not easy for high rollers in crypto, because when something happens there are not many things they can do to fight against it.

I agree with others, Duelbits is here for a long time and they are doing very well! I never saw any serious complaint, so if they have so high betting limits I believe they will pay to winners, why would any reputable casino put limits they can't afford to pay if someone wins? No sense...
1903  Economy / Gambling / Re: Some Crazy Fun Facts About Casinos And Gambling You Might Not Know. on: September 19, 2022, 09:14:19 PM
I can see that everyone wants to stick to success especially the one of FeDex that looks very risky and interesting. Sometimes when we take risk luck can accompany us along that can make us earn big from what we are doing.
What you develop or what you said so far is exactly what is in mind mind to say that is not the way that when someone make announcement or point that you like so much then you continue to repeat such. It is truth that no one that does not like to be successful and anything that will make you to be success is something that you enter into with  seriousness

This is just a story with a lucky ending, I guess we can't imagine how many people tried to do the same and lost. It's gambling in the end, seriousness is measured with money someone gambles with, and higher stakes always mean more serious playing! Definitely, it's not so smart to risk everything you have, but I guess some people get trapped and see gambling as the only way out, and it's fucked up situation when someone relay on gambling to survive! It's like real gambling with the highest possible stakes! I have never been in such a situation, and I hope that I will not end up in such a situation, simply said! I gamble for fun.

1904  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Now it's time for staking on: September 19, 2022, 04:45:37 PM
Famz is there anyway someone can early month staking a altcoin? I don't want the yearly ones APY right? I want monthly and also I will like or prefer to stake BTC or USDT or any top altcoins like XRP or BNB just to be on the safer side, the year we are in a bear market but I am in for the long term so I really don't care about market situation.

At these rates if you don't own a huge pile of it, you'll be better off with just buying it more what ever you want to stake. Even if it was just small amounts it's probably way more profitable for you in the future even more so if you are in this for a long term. With small APY you need a huge pile of crypto to make that staking meaningful income, while if you own small stack you can buy like 5% more to your stack with small amount of money instantly.

Staking is fun even with some small amounts, profit is not big, but something is coming, and you grow some coin you like and believe in. Why not? It's better to put your coins at work than to just put them in some wallet... Small APY safer staking, higher APY more risky staking, I always advise to diversify, majority in small and with some amount try higher APY, without risk here and there there's no gain.
1905  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The economic danger of China and Taiwan war on: September 18, 2022, 06:35:23 PM
China stands high as one among the grown economy. They've got all that is necessary to invade Taiwan. Though they're high in all means, a war against Taiwan will surely make China suffer big decline in its progress. Realising this China might avoid the invasion over Taiwan. The recent truth that caused world Countries suffer is the invasion over Ukraine by Russia.
China should think if it’s Taiwan really worth it, or better to have a good relation with them instead of making such pressure. War is not good at all, it can cost a lot of lives and money which is not good and with this, WW3 can happen any time. My country is on the middle of these countries, probably we might ended up the battle ground for bigger countries especially with China and US, so I hope there’s still a solution for this and not the war.

I believe you hit the point, China should think if Taiwan is really worth as much as they can lose. I guess China knows that and they will not make a move, but they will not forget it either, that will be like a cloud over Taiwan, as it was until now. So except for big words, something we often come from China, I don't think we will see anything here, at least that would be the best option. Any conflict here can be devastating for the entire world.
1906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: September 18, 2022, 05:46:17 PM
It's so weird that a country with many restrictions on basic human rights gets to host the World Cup. Heck, Qatar even enforce its rule on the foreigners and tourists, people come to Qatar for the World Cup. Should a World Cup host country be a place of tolerant, natives willing to set aside their traditions, laws, and such for a good host?

Your comment made me think deeply about this... As far as I know, the sale and use of alcohol is prohibited in Qatar, let alone drugs! What will do all these fans who go there? Some countries have "fierce" fans, how will they all be there without alcohol, is that even possible? Smiley This will be interesting for sure!

"No, my country, my rules. If you have complaints, take it to FIFA". "Who care about international value or being a good host? I pay good money for FIFA to grant me this event and I can flex whatever power I've" Many of you here defend FIFA but the organization has become so shit nowadays.

Well, I guess you said it all, they pay good money! We all know it's wrong, but what we can do about it? To boycott World Cup? Smiley


1907  Economy / Economics / Re: Savings during inflation on: September 18, 2022, 03:42:19 PM
You can't trust fiat enough to stand as a strong hedge over inflation. Any amount cooling in the bank is never the owners because the government can decide to do what ever the wish to it when ever the chose to. Investing is Bitcoin since 2020 would have given more value to your fiat and also increased your purchasing power

People still don't get this... not your keys, not your money! Aside from people who are in crypto already, others don't have a clue that banks can do whatever and people will stay without options, we depend on them and they know it, one of the reasons why they keep making tons of money every year.
I think the time is coming when people will have to decide whom to trust more, corrupted banks or decentralized coins and algorithms. And before that, they will need to learn what "not your keys, not your coins" truly means!
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Rise of Mobile Gambling Is Leaving People Ruined and Unable to Quit on: September 18, 2022, 07:45:42 AM
Before the introduction of the mobile phone, people were addicted to gambling. Now, they have introduced online gambling, the addiction has become deadly. Even the underage can now have access to gambling without being cautioned or monitored. Which is not right.

Having easy access to the Internet is good but it has ruined the lives of the young ones. Which has led them to the wrong part of life.
Yes, because gambling was invented long time ago but the number of addicts before are only less when compared to now that people can now access the web using only their mobile phone. Underage people can access the gambling site but they are only limited there. They can't sign up on it because they are not 18 years old or above as we know that many crypto casinos now are asking for a KYC.

What underage people are addicted at is not mobile gambling but it was mobile gaming. I don't generalize them because there are still kids who have a self discipline and know how to use their gadgets properly. Thanks to the parents that raised them.

With a phone, everything is more accessible, and it's not a phone anymore it's a little computer! When I was a kid my first comp was PC 286, 640 KB RAM memory... discs and floppy discs. Now, these phones are like supercomputers.

Well, some parents are trying to provide other options for their kids. My kids are little, but they spend less time on phones than other kids of their age I see around. Simply we try to find something interesting for kids to do throughout the day that isn't a phone or cartoons. It's easier to manipulate kids while they are little, we will see what will be when they grow up and when the world and friends become a more important factor in their life.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When betting becomes to high on: September 17, 2022, 05:54:50 PM
...It was not a financial problem, but left me wondering how easy is to actually fall into a bad habit and how difficult is to break it.

It's easy to fall into bad habits, really easy, for all of us. But when it comes to controlling bad habits or quitting I think there's no universal answer! It's the moment when our characters are on the life test, and I am sure that test affects all of us differently, and our actions/answers are different. So is there a bottom line? I guess it's that each of us gets into the fire (all sorts) through life, and how need to learn how to handle fire or it will eat us, we either build our character and swim or we go down the drain.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 17, 2022, 02:36:15 PM
After reach to 7th position last season i don't know why Fiorentina this season is so weak that from 6 last matches they were unable to win and today against Spezia i think they also will be difficult to get 3 points because Spezia has slightly better than them because at least Spezia has get their first winning this season but their statistics meetings good as the reference of my bet that both of them often to scoring goals each other and seems for bet purpose both teams to score is good for this match
I think they can't get a win but they can defend because in some games they managed to draw, so I think the problem is that the strikers from Fiorentina are not ready to contribute in this match, because the defenders from Fiorentina have worked optimally to defend but the attacker is still not optimal because they can not get a single victory.

The Fiorentina team will not play against Spezia today. They will host the Hellas Verona team today.
This match will be very competitive. The performance of the two teams is weak. So both will want to earn points. The overall situation of the Fiorentina team is very weak. However, Hellas Verona's defense is very weak. They have conceded 11 goals in 5 matches. Fiorentina's forward players will be able to score full points in this match if they play well.
Four matches have been drawn in the last five matches in the face of these two teams, and Fiorentina won one. The interesting thing is that every match was drawn 1-1 goals. So in today's match, both teams will want to share points.

Both teams are bad, they have not been able to connect since the beginning of the season. In ECL Fiorentina lost with 3 goals difference, they didn't manage to do much, that's why I think this game will be a draw, if there are goals it will be 1: 1 again. Simply both teams playing slow with not so many goals per game. An interesting fact about Fiorentina can happen again tomorrow... maybe I'll try this bet on the correct result seems interesting!
 
Today, Spezia expects Sampdoria on its home field, Sampdoria is still without a win this season, I think they won't win this game either. I believe Spezia can win, but I played 1x just in case, odds x1.44.
1911  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's next for cryptocurrency? on: September 17, 2022, 08:01:50 AM
What do you think,is it the beginning of a bullish period?
Looks like a good correction in a positive direction
Even if prices keeps moving higher it will take a while to draw a complete conclusion on what direction the market is finally heading. If its bullish correction then there will be series of consecutive higher highs made for every support and resistance formed and the opposite if a bear market persists. As of today Bitcoin price is trading below $20k so telling which direction the market will make now is difficult
it would be difficult to see the current situation. the market is in a downtrend and most likely this will hold Bitcoin.
if you expect a bull trend, it looks like we have to be patient. the market hasn't been strong enough to start the high pumps. if that happens I guess there will just be a pump on some assets and then corrected again.

I also don't see something that can push the market at the moment, we have to be patient and wait for the bull trend. Random pumps happen all the time, followed by a correction, which is good, and keeps the trading interesting.
Some people are way too optimistic if they think we will see some serious bullish run in the near future. I only hope that we are at the bottom, or at least near the bottom, and to hold this level for another year and more would be an awesome starting price for the bull run that will come after halving.
1912  Economy / Economics / Re: MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think? on: September 16, 2022, 07:05:37 PM
The influence of money is too strong, maybe only a few people don't really think that money is everything, nowadays all things should be judged by money, even the easiest measure of happiness is money, it is difficult to be happy when we are hungry, many debts, etc., but with money then 95% of happiness we have got.

A few people who don't think that money is everything either have a lot of money or live in nature, under the radar!

Let's be real here, we need money if we wish to have some "normal" life! So yes, money is the motivating factor, we need money to buy things we need/like for that "normal" life. But what's the next question? Is there enough? You bought yourself a new tv/phone/you name it, but you wish for an even better one? You have a house but you need a bigger one? That desire that drives people (ambition) to have more and more is what creates a problem... global problem! In order for some to have more many others has to suffer...

Having self control and setting limitations is easier said than done. There will always be moments when you won't think rationally anymore and will place crazy bets with much higher amounts than you would normally do. Happens to a lot of players, including me. Only thing that helps for me is keeping the balance very low.

As far as I know, some casinos even have a feature that allows them to restrict access to gambling if a player loses a significant amount of money both per day and month. This is a very useful feature, especially for those players who are unable to control themselves. To be honest, I didn’t even pay attention to whether there is a similar function on the Betfury website.

I don't believe in self-exclusion! Why would anyone do that when simple logging out would do the job?! It's either you want to stop gambling and you find some other things to occupy your mind, and you force yourself to not even think about gambling... if you really wish to quit gambling! Who thinks that self-exclusion helps by itself is in delusion, most of those guys who do that simply create new accounts and do everything over and over again. Of course, they blame all others for their "addiction". I simply can't buy that!

As Baby said, the only thing that helps us gamblers not to jump directly into the fire is "normal" balance, something we can always afford to lose without any consequences! It's on us to have control over our actions and to know that things we do come with consequences. Who doesn't respect that will feel how hot fire can be...

... I wonder: why OP just enters the forum not post anything in the thread since June?
You seem so personal about this. OP logs in once in a while but probably too lazy or doesn't find it worth the effort to post a single update hehe. I don't blame them for not being active here since it's only natural to spend your time on the most productive things. Maybe the number of sign ups here hit a plateau?

Maybe he is just checking if everything is fine and clean here?!

I doubt that the number of signups here hit the max, but even if that's the case why not keep all of us interested and continue to post updates about changes, promotions, etc? What's there for a casino if people just signup but don't deposit a play regularly? In the last posts we can see that most of us don't play at Chip's anymore, we have little fun with div payouts, but we don't deposit and play regularly as before.

And it's not like they don't have what to offer, even with some little effort they could keep this thread active.
1915  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is this Gambling Bot real or fake? on: September 15, 2022, 03:41:27 PM
The bot is very suspicious how can something that is already two years in existence but does not have reviews coming from their clients if they do have clients, there are many gamblers who like to use bots like you but they are unfamiliar with the gambling community, the owner of that bot should ask testimonials from their users, it's better for OP to use a virtual machine if you want your machine to be safe since you already purchase a subscription, but like all the others here I doubt if this can help you win in dice, and using bot take away the excitement of playing.

Using a bot gives you different excitement, there's something interesting in creating different strategies and trying them... not some simple dice bot, I am talking about Wolf expert settings, for example, it's crazy how many options their bot has! So it's strange why some people decide to take that huge risk with an unknown dice bot that needs to be downloaded and installed on a computer when there are some online casinos that offer the same bot settings. And all that without any risk for your computer and everything you hold on it, the only risk comes from losing coins if you make a mistake with setting up that bot!
1916  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: trading strategies how to turn 50$ into 100k$ in a month ? on: September 15, 2022, 02:52:59 PM
First thing is to set aside profit assurance and accept the fact that your 50$ could be gone. It won't always be a winning investment or trade. Second is to research for projects and to know what indicators of a good project or coin to invest your money with. Also, make it a habit to ask but learn how to conclude for yourself. As what most of the people here are saying, it will be hard because the gap is too big. Even long time traders are losing money, so you're bettrr prepared.

When you see "x2000 profit in just a month" promise just walk away, that's the first and last thing we should do! It's just money thrown away, people think they can invest $500 and harvest $1 million just like that?

People who decide to trade should check some tutorials first. Put some small money you can afford to lose and simply try yourself and make trades based on your own research, try to create some instinct and if you are talented you will see some profits in the near future!

No one else would be blamed but the casino ...

I saw many promotions abused by people, in most cases casinos had low requirements and many just saw the opportunity for making a few bucks in an easy way! In such cases, there's no one else to be blamed than casinos and teams behind. But I also see there are some professional abusers around, they are looking for new ways all the time, whatever security measures casinos make they will find a way to bypass it. So it's like the neverending war in my opinion, and all that makes it hard for us normal and honest players, more and more control.
1918  Economy / Economics / Re: What define your success, "money, fame or achievement"? on: September 14, 2022, 09:21:38 PM
For me success all comes down to happiness.  I think the measure of ones success truly comes down to their personal level of happiness. Like you mention there's a whole lot of people with a lot of money that are absolutely miserable.  So to me success is doing something you at least enjoy, and being happy in your personal life.  You could be financially poor but very happy, and to me that person is still highly successful.

I can't agree more with you here... It's all about how we feel through the day, are we happy or grumpy?! With money, everything is easier we all know, but sometimes satisfaction comes from little things, with what we can afford at that moment! Fancy dinner or pizza in some park with good friends?!

A lot of money goes when you have a family to support, but I still have some money for the things I like, so for me, that's a success. Never too much, but enough to be comfortable and enjoy life!
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to choose an online casino? on: September 14, 2022, 06:25:48 PM
I've been playing online casino slot machines for a while now, and I'm looking for advice on which ones are the best. I like to play the ones with lots of different payouts and bonuses, but sometimes the games take a long time to load. Do you have any suggestions for me?

You can start here: BTCGOSU - THE ULTIMATE BITCOIN CASINO GUIDE. Find up-to-date reviews of all bitcoin casinos, and much more! You can get a nice sign-up bonus, there's also check a slot competition Weekly GOSU Wins Challenge with $100 in free prizes. You can participate if you like to play slots and you choose to play at Wolf. In the last weeks without players for some reason, I am waiting for at least a few people to join so we can make it active again.

If you decide to play on your own I guess any casino active on the forum (almost every, check their trust reputation when choosing) is good and all of them have slots! Each of them has some perks, you need to check some of them and see what is there interesting for you!
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Popular Themes for Online Slot on: September 13, 2022, 06:50:02 PM
These themes are quite refreshing to the eyes because of the vibrant colors they possess as well as the graphics. Personally, I have no specifics in what slot theme to play, but I am fond of those which involve graphics of animals particularly cats. I am a cat person and it makes me happy and relaxed to see cat-themed slot games. As long as their graphics and interface are nice, then I'm most likely to be drawn more with it. I just don't prefer too many objects to the point it will look like they are all over the place. Balance and proper mix and match of colors and object content in a slot game is still of importance to me. Although I don't play often and I just do when I'm in the mood, but I guess those were my preferences, not just enclosed with the themes.
I thought you are going to say refreshing because they are new in your eyes but its called amazing or spectacular if it's about the vibrant colors and graphics but like you I also don't care much about the theme but I only play slots whenever there is a slot challenge in the casino that I am playing with. That way I can maximize my earnings like if I win something in the process, I can also win extra when the event is over.

I think there are slots which has a fewer reels on them. That will be perfect for you as well because you said you hate slots with too many objects on them but indeed it's confusing and I think it's also harder to win on them.

There are all kinds of slots, with fewer or more reels, there are megaways, and all of them can be interesting, especially when we win. As AicecreaME wrote, we look for graphics that suits us in some way, and probably when we run into something we like we will spend more time on that slot! I have my favorite slots, but sometimes I like to try new slots, and I always give a slot a few spins before I decide if will I close it or if will I continue to play it and mark it as a favorite for faster access in the future!
