201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bankroll management discussion on: June 09, 2023, 02:16:24 AM
What percentage of your bankroll are using as your bet size. I read an article online before that 1% to 3% is the ideal for low risk gambling while 4% to 5% for aggressive gambling. I use the aggressive type bankroll management on most of my game because I’m always bored playing with minimum bets or low percentage of my bankroll because I knew that house edge will kill me long term.

Are using a fixed percentage on your bets or you are just betting random amount? Also do you deposit your total bankroll and just withdraw if you are on target profit or stop loss or you are just depositing exact amount of money for your gambling without extra.
I wouldn't consider 3% of the bankroll as the base bet to be low-risk gambling since if your bankroll is $100, your base bet will be $3 which is pretty high in my opinion unless the person doesn't play slots and only plays games which have only 2 outcomes where one can use martingale to recover lost bets in which case, even a small loss streak can take away your bankroll in no time at all.

I personally prefer using the smallest bet possible when I'm playing slots because that would allow me to have as many spins as possible since which will increase my chances of maybe hitting a big multiplier because it sometimes takes time.
202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: June 08, 2023, 05:16:56 PM
unfortunately, there are many people who bet on games they do not understand anything, and these same people do not make any effort to understand the game they want to bet on, it is normal to bet on tennis first but have never watched a tennis game or do not know one tennis player, but even so they will put money in the tennis game, and what is most shocking about all this is that when people who know tennis games are looking for scam casinos because they see that in these scam casinos they have higher odds and how they believe they dominate tennis

and in the scam casino that has the highest odds when they bet a lot of money they will win a lot, but the problem is that when they withdraw the money they realize that the casino is not allowing them to make withdrawals, so they lost money, see the things, people lose money because they don't know the game of tennis, people lose money because they use casino scam, so it's very important that people know everything that is part of this game: casinos and the games themselves and only use reliable things and after doing a lot of research to confirm that it really is a reliable casino and they know the game they are betting on it
While sports betting has its own essence in the gambling industry since the outcome doesn't totally depend on luck and your knowledge and experience can do wonders, betting on games and teams or players that you don't know anything about makes it the same as other luck-based gambling games. Because whether you will win or lose will totally depend on how lucky you are since you didn't place a bet based on any experience, knowledge, or analysis.

For such people, it is better if they take that money and go play in some slot machine where they might hit some big multiplier and win or simply lose it because they can also have the same outcome from sports betting with their attitude.
203  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 08, 2023, 04:16:02 PM
The smaller casinos might advertise that they are "VPN Friendly" in the beginning, but as soon as they grow large enough, they suddenly come under the radar of the regulators and they remove that feature from their site.  Roll Eyes
Agreed and that kind of thing happens a lot more in new casinos.
However, actually using a VPN is also very risky if it is not allowed by the casino because if you never get a big win, maybe you can safely and easily use a VPN, but when you get a big win, the thing to fear is that the win cannot be withdrawn because they are a having problems using a VPN.
I used to use a VPN but only in casinos allowed it and after I thought it was better to change DNS than having to use a VPN.
When a casino doesn't allow players from a country where you reside, it is obviously not a good option to use a VPN only to play at that casino because even if you can play using a VPN, you won't be able to make a withdrawal since if they ask for KYC, you won't be able to complete that because they won't accept documents from your country, so you will be left with no options.

A VPN should only be used in a casino if you are a regular customer but for some reason, you are not able to access the platform, maybe because of relocation or something, and even in such cases, it is still better to first ask the support before going ahead with it because if they don't allow it, they can always ban your account for doing that.
204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: European Sex Championship 😳, Will you Bet? on: June 07, 2023, 01:30:11 PM
Is this a joke lol?  How would you bet on sex.  How long it takes 😅.

Seriously.  With an open mind how would this ever be considered a sport.  I'm open to dialog but I don't get it, and then second what are some of the things that you could bet on?  I'm not getting it lol.
Though the possibilities for it are very low, if sportsbooks decide to add this for bettors to bet on, it will probably only be about which team is going to win or score more points, etc. Since as said in the OP, there will be a number of rounds and parts in which a couple would perform and there will be a jury that will judge which couple did the best in each round and probably provide numbers based on their performance.

It sounds insane but if they actually go ahead with it, I'm sure there will also be ways for sportsbooks to implement this as well among the available sports that gamblers can choose to bet on. I personally don't see sex to be a sport and I don't understand how it is being categorized this way.
205  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: June 06, 2023, 12:18:04 PM
Many will still ask for a proof and they will not believe on this easily, well this is how gambling works and even the top site have their own hidden strategy to get more wins over the gamblers. If you want to fee that you are safe from any cheating then play on physical casinos with the card games. Playing with slots are also possible to get cheated, just try to have fun and try to unseen this.
gambling is meant for cheating that is what makes it a gambling so it is something that people does not understand if you are not being kicked in the morning it is very clear that there is nothing good that will come out from that particular gambling platform so we don't need to think about it otherwise because it is something that we experience every time in gambling session
They don't have to cheat to beat you at roulette. The odds will beat you.
Exactly, most people ignore the fact that the house already has an edge over the player and even if they don't cheat, they will still win most of the time. Casinos earn all their revenue because of the house edge because even if a gambler manages to win something and if they still keep gambling, they will eventually lose everything back to the house and goes out empty-handed.

Only casinos that have created their platforms for the sole purpose of cheating people might try things like this to get more money from those who are gambling with them, otherwise, they already earn a lot of revenue with their business model being against the players.
206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: June 06, 2023, 03:51:58 AM
Until this series is over, it is impossible to say which team will win the series. However, West Indies cricket team is leading 1-0 over UAE. If West Indies cricket team can win another match against UAE. Then the West Indies cricket team will confirm the series win. On the other hand, for the UAE to win the series, they need to win two consecutive matches against the West Indies. If you enjoy the second match of the ODI series, you will understand the result somewhat
In this series UAE having no chance to win against West Indies because even they are weaker but still capable of beating team like the UAE without any problem as they have done in first ODI West Indian board are trying their best for having something improvement but due to geopolitics things are going from bad to worse which is never been ideal for the game and West Indies recently they bring good new white-ball coach which is having good cricketing heart and experience in white-ball but still many things which need time and work hopefully they will be able to settle these.

Now we have 2 more ODI before West Indies heading for the qualifier for the ODI World Cup which is going to play in India in October, hopefully they will be able to have better results in this event for having their spot into world cup.
207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to altcoins ? on: June 06, 2023, 03:15:22 AM
I feel your pain, I also bought some Bitcoin and ETH at higher prices and now I’m waiting for them to recover. The altcoin market is very volatile and unpredictable, especially in a bearish trend. Some altcoins may have strong fundamentals and innovative features, but they are still affected by the overall sentiment and demand of the crypto market.
You do not really have too much of a choice but to keep waiting, I know this is not precisely the most comfortable position to be in but if you are able to endure it then sooner or later you will breakeven and then your problem holding your coins will disappear almost immediately, still this does not mean that you can idle away and do nothing, you could try some DCA and lower the price at which you bought your coins if you still have some cash on hand so you can breakeven as soon as possible.
New investors tend to not invest more money once they have bought some and are seeing them in negative still, they can only believe in the market and buy more if they see themselves getting some profit out of their previous purchases, so a person who has bought at a higher price will hardly buy more when the price is down if they are either new or out of funds.

It is basically a good way to accumulate more coins when the price is low so that you can have a much better average buying price and you can even get some profits if you sell the coins you've bought later even if the price didn't reach the target where you've bought your first coins.
208  Economy / Economics / Re: Bank loans and securities. on: June 05, 2023, 03:24:34 PM
A school diploma is not necessary to obtain a loan from a bank; if it were, it would undoubtedly be declined.  That is all I am aware of regarding job application requirements, though.  Maybe it will apply if you mortgage it to a pawnshop or borrow money from one.  Banks require collateral, applying for a loan is difficult, and loans of any size require land, home, or company certificates in addition to car certificates.
Only ID's are needed to apply for a loan and maybe some nice collateral. It is when we apply for a job, we are required to show a school diploma. Applying for a loan in a bank can be difficult. Banks do also have high interest rate but there are still lots of loaning companies out there (including the online ones) that we can try. They might not be strict as the banks and you can get your money in short period of time.

@OP I know the feeling on why banks or other loaning companies can disregard a school diploma. They think it's only just a piece of paper with no value but they did not know the struggle of the student only to get this piece of paper.
209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: June 05, 2023, 12:04:00 PM
Match fixing increases the probabilities and chances of bettors winning their place bets; understanding how this complete sector works leads one closer to obtaining more from gambling. Everyone in the space needs experience, and it triggered a good style of gambling and strategy. Given the odds, betting on soccer is pretty adequate for one to gain big income from gambling; betting on renowned leagues and also becoming acquainted with the team all make gambling process easier. Gambling on popular leagues give me heads up for significant gains.
No, it does not increase their winning chance but it gives them a guaranteed win once they already given an insider info. Only those who will be affected is the bettor who knows nothing that the match they bet with is being fixed. They think they will win because they analyze the game properly and are now very sure about the team that they are picking but they don't know those teams are being paid to lose their game, making the innocent bettors lose too.

Only the sports betting needs experience but playing in casinos are open for all even for the newbies. I also think that the odds in casino games are much better than any other sports betting game. I mean their max multipliers are much higher.
210  Economy / Gambling / Re: Question about casino, sports bet on: June 04, 2023, 07:02:53 PM
Hi, i would like to know if there is any android application for casino sites, sports bets where you can bet with crypto thanks
Are you looking for android applications in particular, if so, then I must ask you why ?
If you are looking for casino platforms which can be accessed from an android phone then there are plenty.
Most of the reputable gambling sites are mobile friendly and so you can directly access them using your web browser.
So there shouldn't be any need for andoird apps in particular when the same website can be run on desktop, android and iphone/ipad.
I think there is a very big difference between using a website on your mobile and having an application for the same service, most websites these days are probably mobile-friendly but they can't give you the same experience that you can get from a mobile application, so someone looking for an application will definitely not be satisfied with a website being used in a mobile browser.

And when it comes to casinos, most cryptocurrency casinos don't have mobile applications because there is basically not much demand for that, most users are satisfied gambling on their laptops and computers so they never demand mobile applications.
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 04, 2023, 02:58:30 PM
There are several reasons people use a VPN when playing at online casinos, the most common reason is because in their country most online gambling sites are blocked and they need a VPN to be able to access these gambling sites. I personally use a VPN to access gambling sites through my browser and fortunately the ToS on my gambling platform they say not prohibit their users to use VPN, only that they require KYC to do WD. It's pretty annoying, but I'm okay with that because I can get around it LOL.
Since the usage of VPN is allowed in the gambling site you are using then there is no issue there, but assuming yours falls under those that don't allow the use of VPN would you still use it?

It's commone sense to always seek out what best suites you and as soon as you start forcing things that are not meant for you to start working for you then you're bound to have some repercussions, same with the casino if you start to force a casino that don't allow it's usage in your country to start working with the use of VPN then it means you're ready for the consequences that follows and one thing I have noticed is that once the casino finds out your behaviour the will wait for you to make some deposit before they block your account.
I've never heard of what you said at the end, that a casino that suspects you are going against their terms of services will wait until you make a deposit and then they will block your account, that is totally wrong if casinos really do that. If they already know that I've done a mistake and I won't be allowed to use their platform anymore, they should simply let me know and don't allow me to make any deposits.

I think some of the big and reputable casino platforms allow using VPN, and when you have an issue like you're out of the country or something similar, you should simply ask their support through email about it and if they say that you can use a VPN to access the platform, then you should face no issues.
212  Economy / Gambling / Re: Empowering Individuals Through Statistical Analysis: Building a Casino Simulator on: June 03, 2023, 06:12:45 PM
Regardless of how fascinating or valuable such tools may appear for statistical purposes, there is simply no way to outsmart the law of probability in a gambling casino. The outcomes of casino games are inherently random, and luck plays a crucial role in determining success or failure. So, no statistical tool or AI can provide a solution to overcome the law of probability. Gambling outcomes will always involve an element of uncertainty and luck, which cannot be eliminated by any tool or technology.
Obviously, such tools can only show you examples of how the outcome of your betting might be based on the statistics or strategies that you might be willing to use when gambling in a specific game, but the actual results in the casino when you are gambling with real money might differ since the random outcomes generated by the RNGs can always make it different.

People should only use these simulators to see a few possible outcomes for their budget and initial investment and the settings that they might use in a casino, but one shouldn't take the results of such a simulator very seriously and think that they will actually get the exact same results when they are gambling in a real casino because they might have to face disappointment.
213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $90,000 all in bet on: June 03, 2023, 05:31:11 PM
Even if you deny it I'm sure it hurts not everyone is so lucky that he can turn his $4000 into $90,000 go all out then lose everything I mean for me this is greed, if you're comfortable with losing that huge winning it still hurt.
I hope this is a lesson learned for many if you made a lot from your bankroll enjoy your winning so you have something good to remember on your winning, I don't know, but you seem to be ok as you are going back to the drawing board, I hope you still going to win and you find the control you need to withdraw your winning and enjoy it.
He is going back to drawing board to turn another 4k to 100k and then he will go ahead and blow the 100k. I don't see vision and purpose in his system of gambling. No matter how rich he is, it hurts the way he is approaching gambling. I know too well that it Hurst Op more than he made it look here.
This type of gambling life will not give Op some peace of mind. After winning 90k, he should have restarted his strategy with almost 10k and use the 80k to take care of life and his wellbeing.
He is either too rich and isn't being totally transparent with us or he is not having enough sanity to understand that turning $4k to $90k isn't a joke and then betting $90k on a single game is the worst thing one can do if they have actually managed to turn their bankroll of $4k into $90k that too on the number of goals to be scored in a game which is never a guaranteed win no matter what.

A normal person would never bet $90k in a single match no matter how much surety they have about them winning the bet since there is always the risk of losing it as well, one should simply bet with smaller amounts and try to turn that $90k into something bigger gradually instead of wasting it like that.
214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2022/2023 on: June 03, 2023, 03:26:45 PM
Manchester United continues to absorb pressure from City, which is a fantastic method to preventing them from scoring.  Gundogan's early amazing goal and Bruno Fernandez's fantastic penalty kick leveled the score. Both club managers appear dissatisfied with their clubs' performances; we anticipate a better second half bounce. The first half closes with a score of 1-1, indicating a difficult and stressful encounter. Cityzens dominate the game in terms of ball possession and shots on goal, but they finding difficulty in netting another goal against the red devils.
I think both teams played with a fairly high tempo but even so, not many opportunities that can be obtained by both. Man City indeed dominated the match, but for some reason, they didn't play as usual, and many of their passes were not channeled properly.
Gundogan and De Bruyne deadly combo for the Manchester United as again in early minutes of second half they give lead to Manchester City games tempo is still high, and we can expect more goals from both teams in 60 minutes we have 4 shots on goal which produce 3 goals, so hopefully some more action is waiting for us in next 30 minutes of this final.

Manchester United is also at their best for this final as they are going for the double and trying their best to stop Manchester City for having dream end of this season after winning Premier League in style now it's big question can Manchester United go for the level or Citizens will celebrate their second cup after 30 minutes.
215  Economy / Economics / Re: how to overcome inflation for the community on: June 03, 2023, 01:25:23 PM
At the present time, instead of complaining about the problems and inflation that they are causing, we should focus on other things to better improve our lives. Inflation is something that no one wants to happen to their country, but when it does appear, at least accept it, so don't have a too negative view of this issue. Instead, focus and try to find some extra work to improve your salary. In addition, this is also an opportunity for you to improve your spending and time management skills when the cost of materials increases.
Your point is understandable but it cannot be applied to everyone. In an economy, there are also people who can barely earn a minimum wage and they mostly struggle to feed their family twice a day, for such people, it is not possible to find more work or earn extra money when the country faces extreme inflation, mostly because such people are not educated nor have any access to technology or other ways one can use to learn skills and earn more money.

For such people, it is not possible to just ignore the increasing inflation and focus on creating extra income sources due to a lack of resources, and these are the people who suffer the most when there is an economic crisis and extreme inflation within a country.
216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Intriguing article: How to Perfect Your Gambling Strategy on: June 03, 2023, 09:23:45 AM
There's no perfect gambling strategy that could fit everyone. We have different strategies, skills, and level of luck after all. But the list you provided can really help a gambler maximize his chances of winning if he will do the aforementioned steps. Betting and playing wisely should be done in order to win. You can't just impulsively play and bet, then pray for winning because that would be nonsense. You have to put these things into action so that you can avoid unnecessary losses, especially the last two advices.
There is basically no strategy that can make you win in gambling, it's only your luck that can make a difference, other than that, there are only ways that can safeguard you from excessive losses, like having a break when you are constantly losing, changing the game, or simply stop gambling when you see you are not winning anything at all because you can't make yourself win by doing anything.

The strategies that people use in gambling are nothing more than a death trap, you might be able to recover your losses once or twice but if the session is not working out for you, you will eventually lose it all back to the house if you don't stop at the right time.
217  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: June 02, 2023, 06:16:23 PM
Probably. The general opinion is that when you send KYC documents they are potentially compromised, but this happens even on large exchanges like Coinbase, where data can be hacked or even sold by them. In general, the more reputable the casino or the site in general, the less likely it is that there will be a problem with your data, but once you have submitted it, you can't be sure of anything.
The information on the databases is stolen and sold. No one from a casino is going to come out publicly and say that information has been compromised. In fact, the casino may not even know since most of the time it's an inside job and an employee just sells the information.
Well, it's not as easy as you say it is to steal the information and documents of users if you are working in a company and sell them out, it doesn't generally work that way since everyone in the company would know it's you who did it because you were the database manager who manages the databases for the company or a website or exchange. So you can't simply just get away after doing something like that.

If the information is compromised or sold, it will be done by the company itself and not by an individual employee without the company knowing about it. That is why it is better to just stick to the ones who are trusted when it comes to using services like casinos or exchanges, etc.
218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: June 02, 2023, 04:26:34 PM
If a gambler seems to present himself the way he was being an addicted gambler and feels comfortable or that nothing is wrong with that, then there will be situations coming ahead over time that will lead to the frustration he never expect coming, by then it would have been an inevitable consequence on addition, that is why we have to treat addiction before it goes beyond the normal control that we may not be able to handle later in future, most addicts are also drugs addict base on some people's believe according to the research they have conducted.
A gambling addict doesn't necessarily have to be a drug addict as well, some of them might be but those are very rare cases. A drug addict generally doesn't have any money to gamble and even if they do, they are mostly not in their perfect senses and someone without any sense cannot gamble and even if they do, they can never manage to win anything.

Gambling addict who doesn't think that they are addicted or need any assistance is never going to let anyone help them out of the situation, only those gamblers who acknowledge the fact that they are in trouble because of their gambling habit can be helped.
219  Economy / Exchanges / Re: I've lost $10 when depositing to OKX (formerly OKEx) on: June 02, 2023, 03:46:32 PM
OKX's suddenly raised the minimum deposit amount of BTC to 0.0002 without any informing and I have 2 transaction sending to my account, one is confirmed and one is in pending on the network. They're both 0.00019xxx (around $5), which is less than the current minimum deposit amount of BTC now so they refused to make the transactions credited to my account.

The matter is they've never sent email to inform their customers about this raising since April (I still got deposit transactions credited which was also 0.00019xxx in April so I believe they've just changed it recently).

After this case I am considering to switch over to another exchange as I think what they've done is not fair. Anyone still using OKX should take caution about this new minimum deposit amount as once it happens they are not willing to help you to get your funds back (I have tried to contact their support).
They probably should have informed their customers about the change but even if they didn't, you should always double check the address and minimum deposit amount before making a deposit in an exchange because things change every now and then and you should understand that they can miss a thing or two and we will need to take care of our money ourselves as they wouldn't care about it much.

You should first try contacting their customer support and see what they have to say about this, they should either add your deposits for this one time or refund the money if the transactions have been confirmed from your end already.

Personally my favourite was Gujarat titans they have been phenomenal in all the matches their batting and balling both were outclass. But Chennai super kings nailed it at last moment ravindra jadeja last 2 balls will be remembered till next ipl he was the reason they won . Mohit sharma did really great job in balling .
Gujrat done good job in their two early seasons with their competence in bowling and batting surely right now they are most favourite in IPL hopefully management will be also tried to keep this moment for the future as well because their selection of players and strategy surely working for them, and they have ideal results even CSK is still one of the best team in IPL, but now things are going to change with MI are losing their ground, but we can't put them out they are finding their ways for the future and management involvement is also good.

With the arrival of Gujrat now things are looking more tough their bowling package is surely one of the best with batting is having right now one of the best player in India who is giving his best and surely going to keep things at their best as well because keeping momentum high and giving quality like this in every season is big challenge.
