1981  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino can play a role in changing fortune? on: July 06, 2022, 02:04:54 PM
Many of us who play casinos, suffer more or less. Many are blaming it again that it is a money-losing machine. In this regard I would like to share a success history by playing casino game. It is only for knowing the truth especially those are don't know the fact.

Many of us may know the name of an international courier service known as FedEx. This courier service company headquarter is in Tennessee, USA. FedEx currently distributes about 1.2 billion parcels a year in 220 countries with an annual revenue of about 3 billion. Smith, founder of FedEx, started his business with 84 million us dollar. At that time he started operations in 35 countries with 8 planes. But at one stage, the price of plane fuel increased and that contemporary time courier service did not become very popular. His company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Smith come back to Las Vegas feeling sad. At that time Las Vegas was known as the capital of casinos. He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week. Smith come back to FedEx headquarter and invest his money on his company even though his money was not enough to run the company but with his hard work and enthusiasm he arranged to send all the parcels. in this way he established his company.

This is really a good success of smith as well as FedEx with the favor of Casino. By the way, i am not sharing it to encourage anyone to the casino.

Nice story,I didn't know this one.There are very few persons on earth compared to the earth population which in percentage is less than 0.0000001% that have experienced a life changing event by going to a casino.These people are the ones who have hit a multi million dollar jackpot,only this can be considered a true life changing event.I have seen people winning small jackpots from 50.000 dollars up to 250.000 dollars but most of the time they have lost it again,while winning a multi million dollar jackpot can at least change your life for a minimum of 5-10 years even if you gamble that money away.

I didn't know this either it's not a popular story and this is something not worth sharing because the moral of the story is to try or bet in a casino who knows if you win you can setup a business-like,  what the owner of FedEx did, he is just lucky and he has control, this is one success story coming from gambling and its an exception to the rule if he loses his $5k he will be in big desperation.

1983  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: 1xbit SCAMMED MY 6500 USD on: July 06, 2022, 08:27:29 AM
I really didnt expect that something like this can happen in 2022 and it gives me more urge to share the story and awful experience i had with 1xbit gambling site (https://1xbit1.com). Everything can be supported by screens of conversation, tx ids on blockchain and others. I have nothing to hide and everything to show.

What made you think that something like this cannot happen in 2022 what industry you are in for you to think that these things are unlikely 1XBIT has a lot of complaints and almost daily their new complaints not only from 1XBIT, the worse thing that can happen is thinking that its safe to put money on projects that you are not diligently research always DYOR.

Quote
Even when i am not a fan of lawsuits or sharing "Business" information publicly, attitude of 1xbit gave me no other choices than to share this with everyone who could also get affected and scammed just like I got.
You should that's the right thing to do let people know your bad experience so they will not experience the same thing, sharing is caring.

Quote
If 1xbit decides to reward me and pays what they owe i will update this thread and state that everything has been sorted. Until then, the ads will run infinitely.

You're lucky if you get it, but there are some instances where player get their deposit but not their winnings, I advise that even if they refund you, you still marked this thread as a scam complaint, if you won fair, its just right to get your winning




1984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction. on: July 05, 2022, 10:16:25 PM


Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?


That's not guaranteed one example is me no one in the house or in my work is into gambling we have the internet and this is where I learn how to play dice as a start and no one is aware that I'm playing dice for a year, times are changing right now you learn things on the other side, which is the internet, people close to you may not aware what you're doing online and one of this is playing in online casinos.
1985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 (September 17) on: July 05, 2022, 10:30:30 AM
Will be for Canelo in this one , Yeah Golovkin is one of the favorite in this division but according to my review it is Canelo's advantage in this fight so my Bet will be for Him.

though we are Month before this happens but  the votes stands close to the boxers so we will be having a very exciting fight coming .



Obviously Canelo has the advantage because he won the last fight, and if you will look at the previous post, you will see that Canelo is heavily favored in this fight. You can bet on Canelo to win, but mind you, the betting odds are very low, hence your winning will not be as much if you win.

Canelo is highly motivated in this fight he cast a lot of insults on Golovkin he tells the press
Quote
He pretends to be a nice guy but he's not, he's an a**hole.
he means business this time, on the first two fights both are professional but this time Canelo wants to make it personal even if Golovkin treats it to be another fight, it looks like we are going to see a different result this time, the first two fights are exciting but this one will be more exciting as both fighters promised to resolve their rivalry for good.
1986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is for big bag holders on: July 03, 2022, 10:29:20 PM
After this experience I believe gambling is for the big bag holders, if you're in urge of making a win. Very much disappointed, because it is the last few dollars I had as a cryptocurrency holding. If I had more funds I wouldn't have encountered this big loss. Martingale once again a failed strategy when you don't have big bag of money.



What you mean is having a chance to win in martingale is for big bag holders, anyone can play even if you have $25 as long as you meet the minimum deposit requirements, when implementing or adopting martingale strategy in a dice game, be sure you already calculated the possibilities that you will lose your bankroll if the string of losses reach to a number where your bankroll cannot keep up and how much you can keep up based on your bet.
Don't assume after 10 successive losses the next roll will be in your favor.
1987  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inherited gambling on: July 03, 2022, 09:41:05 AM

 now come to think of it since it is difficult to escape our genetic makeup,
- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?

No, I will not, it's like prejudging a person for something he has not done yet, you become addicted to gambling because of having a weak character

Quote
-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?
Yes it can be done and it's advisable for everybody to always check yourself if you are becoming addicted to gambling if you are putting hours and too much money to gamble, it always gamble money that you can afford to lose

Quote
-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?

I don't see the difference there's no level in being a compulsive gambler, all I know is you are at your worse if you are gambling too much and you cannot stop yourself from playing until you are exhausted.

A flag is waiting on this thread if they failed to honor what they promised to the complainants, I find it uncomfortable playing in a casino with no active representative here, if you have an issue they have no one who can address it, and you are left at their mercy on their own terms, such a huge amount I hope they can strike a fair deal to one of their players if they failed I will support a flag if the complainant decides to create one.
1989  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rocketpot.io refusing to pay out 170k win on: July 01, 2022, 09:41:40 PM
Ha I feel they are purposely delaying things in hoping that I actually go and use the balance to play. I will not be though, I feel like at this point there’s no point. Either I lose some of the balance or I make more taking even longer to get all the balance out following their withdrawal policy or I make so much, say 500k giving them more incentive to not pay out. So the way I see it is playing with the funds right now is a lose,lose scenario

Many gamblers faced a situation like this, they are waiting for the withdrawal to get unlocked and while waiting they're tempted in the hope that their earnings increase or they are just tempted to play and then eventually lose everything, you are now in that scenario if this happens Rocketpot will be saved from paying you, so have the courage and do not be tempted to play at least wait to get half of your winnings, before playing.
1990  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any changes experienced within body - Gambling??? on: July 01, 2022, 04:34:03 PM
Every gambler has problems with their life and even their personality. Indeed, for a gambler who is already addicted, of course playing at the casino will give the body its adrenaline.
I think improvements for addicts like this can be overcome by gambling patterns and a more organized lifestyle. the effects received by the body could be the result of us being too tired and stressed. we must be able to control the exact time. And don't stay in the casino too long. limiting time is a pretty good solution I think.

I agree, personality differences. Though I haven't experienced this conditions once or maybe I haven't noticed, I think it is purely psychological. I  may be wrong but I think it is called psychosomatic symptoms. I wonder though if a gambler experiences this whenever he is on a winning streak or is this associated with a loss?

I also think the same.  The body reacts due to some mental disturbances caused by possibly too much disappointment or too much excitement.  After all, gambling does affect our mental states such as stress and happiness.  Possibly it is associated with losses since stress comes in when we are disappointed or depressed. 



It has something to do with the lingering effect, a case where you still of your losses, especially if you're coming from a big win and you lose it all, it will have a lingering effect in your mind causing depression and this could last for several days and it will have an effect on your sleep, on your work and on your thinking
1991  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rocketpot.io refusing to pay out 170k win on: July 01, 2022, 03:57:08 PM

Their terms state all withdrawals will be processed within 24 hours. It’s been over that now since I requested the $6000 withdrawal as I was instructed to do. I was told yesterday by Sofia who’s their vip manager it would be today latest. I’ll be giving reasonable time, but also taking any action necessary asap. With all my proof and evidence and them even agreeing my winnings were legit(see previous update).  Black and white, it looks like rocketpot is further delaying to not pay out what is rightfully mine.

Based on that terms they already cannot keep up with what they are promising, their being absence is questionable although there are no complaints against Rocketpot as far as I know this one is big that it depends on what road they are going to take, will they choose to not pay you and just close or pay and build their reputation as a casino that can fulfill its promise even the amount is huge, it's their decision where they are heading.
1992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Self Exclusion on a National Basis, Australia 🦘 on: July 01, 2022, 01:52:01 PM
Australia have just announced a plan where the players would be able to exclude themselves temporarily or permanently from all the gambling platforms in the country. Which I do think is really amazing since it can help control the problem gambling in the country they already have loads of complains as well.

https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/16954/new-self-exclusion-register-to-launch-in-australia

What do you think about the news ?
Should it include other platforms as well since most of the players know that there are casinos which uses VPN and they would still be able to access it there. But I overall like the idea to control the whole Gambling addiction.

Thoughts?

We'll have to see how effective is this, this is something new if effective it could be implemented by other countries and make this as their model, but permanent self-exclusion should be coupled with help coming from professionals if they want to really curb gambling addiction, you cannot trust compulsive gambling alone doing permanent self-exclusion, he'll only find a way when the temptation to gamble comes in.

You should have created an announcement when you are ready to launch your casino this is a pre-launch announcement and it should be in the project development because it is in the development stage, there's nothing to discuss here, and it's better to have a discussion the strong and weak points of your project, than having an announcement where we cannot see anything or disscuss

1994  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rocketpot.io refusing to pay out 170k win on: July 01, 2022, 09:59:27 AM
I already had a total of 4K in withdrawals earlier in the week. So according to their terms what was left on the limit was $6000 total for the week. Their limits are max 10k/week and 20k/month. So assuming they do pay out I’ll be able to receive another 10k starting next week.

It's still an insane good amount of money 20k each month if they intended to pay it out but depends on how their business is, they might back off from this deal as I don't think they can pay all of it to begin with and is just trying to stall as much time to retain their reputation. Anyway let all of us know if they will honor the remaining 6k for this week




I don't want to speculate or give OP a bad scenario but what if this happens to another guy where he won let's say $50k and they only allow $10k maximum per week, the maximum weekly withdrawal will be divided and they will adjust his withdrawal and it will take longer than OP's calculation, although this scenario cold happens I still wish OP the best and he'll get his money and Rocketpot honor their commitment.
1995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and MLM Schemes on: June 30, 2022, 09:52:19 PM
I just heard that gambling is just like MLM schemes as people only loses both in gambling and MLM schemes ?
Is it true ?

On gambling, you are guaranteed to lose, on MLM if you have a good organization and you are promoting a good and legit product you can make a profit the only way you can lose from MLM is if you are lazy to recruit people, there are still good MLM companies and they are license, a legit MLM should be focused on their products and services making money out of their profit plan is just a perk for actively promoting the product or services.
1996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons why people avoid KYC in gambling casino ? on: June 30, 2022, 02:40:17 PM
It's been observed that gamblers prefer to play on casino which do not enforce KYC. Well, let's discuss what are the main reasons that they do not want to show their identity and gamble anonymously.

They don't trust the casino as the casino might misuse the kyc documents or the gamblers want to gamble without telling anyone that they are the gamblers,  gambling is illegal in their region or religion and they want to hide their identity or there could be any other solid reason?

All you've mentioned are valid reasons, some countries are treating gambling as taboo or they have lower respect for people who gamble, and some don't want their sensitive information on a site where they do not know who is managing the casino, we are not dealing with banks where they take their KYC and they have obligation to the government to keep this information confidential, we cannot say that with certainty on online casinos.
1997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 30, 2022, 12:23:40 PM
snip
about pacman challenge to hold the Fight of the Century fight again has not been welcomed by Mayweather and I think if Mayweather later agrees to the fight, of course we will see the two boxing legends fight again in the ring, apart from Mayweather reportedly now Amir Khan is ready to face Pacman in the fight exhibition boxing event but so far there has been no official confirmation from Pacman to approve or reject the challenge of Amir Khan.
We have 2 collections of the best boxing rumors that are very convincing can come from one of them, the most convincing rumors for Amir Khan because he is reported to have answered the challenge from coach Pacquiao, Freddie Roach has contacted Amir khan for an exhibition fight via telephone, although Manny Pacquiao has not released the official news but the involvement of Freddie Roach is already very sure the fight will be released within this year.
That would be an easy fight for Pacman, the glass chin against an 8 division world champion, that would be fun to watch especially if we will see a KO. However, since it's just an exhibition fight, we don't know if they would really be serious with it or will just strictly follow the script.

Not really an easy fight for Pacquiao remember Manny's loss to a tall guy who just uses a lot of jabs, to ward off Manny and this is not the Pacquiao we've known that beats the unbeaten Thurman, Manny has shown old age and stiffness of his body he is good for exhibition matches only and for the sake of money not for another belt, he cannot keep up with the younger generation anymore.

I have made Rocketpot aware of this thread --> notified our contact person. Let`s see and hopefully, this can be fixed.

Their representative is not active here anymore and their thread is not getting updates or bumps anymore, I hope you can help and have them address this issue, OP has a case here it involves a huge amount they run a campaign here two years ago that is all I know of this casino.
OP can open a scam accusations here that's the right section for this complaint just be sure to add additional info or screenshots
1999  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin.casino domain name for sale on: June 30, 2022, 05:31:52 AM
Hello BitcoinTalk!

I am considering selling one of my prized domain names: Bitcoin.casino

Please send me a PM if you're interested. I don't have a BIN price set yet as I am welcoming and considering offers at this time.

Best Regards,
since you haven't decided on the price yet, I tried appraising it on "godaddy domain appraisals" and the estimated value is $5.4k. also, it seems that the domain has been sold before too(at least according to this). are you the one who bought it before?

anyway, perhaps try posting this and auctioning it on the Auction board if you are uncertain about what your BIN price is.

I consider this as a top-level domain, and will easily have an impact on the casino industry because on the domain alone you can easily tell what the domain is for, it could be more than $5.4k why not include the website and all its content the value will be 20% higher than the appraisal tool, I hope Bitcointalk can help you find the right buyer the industry is still welcoming new players so i'm sure you will find a group or company that will be interested to buy your domain.
