2021  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: September 21, 2023, 01:49:06 PM
Yeah, many families have been destroyed because of gambling, where the head of the family basically gambled all their money away, leaving the family with nothing.
Incidents like this have happened a lot even before online casinos developed there were already lots of similar cases and what worse they actually dared to take risks by borrowing money from owners or loan sharks in traditional casinos.
It's a shame that many families are destroyed because of gambling and what is really worrying is that a child when his father becomes a crazy gambling addict then he forgets his duties as a father and responsibility as the backbone of the family who needs to provide education, guidance and finances for children but instead prioritize gambling.

When a gambler who dares to take the risk of borrowing large amounts of money just to gamble is the beginning of his addiction and this will be very bad when a regular gambler tries to get a loan to gamble and becomes addicted because he loses all his borrowed money after that he tries to pursue it in any way possible while The pressure of having to pay back borrowed money is one of the causes of gambling addicts becoming crazier about stealing or robbing, even worse, borrowing again in large amounts to catch up on any losses.
This problem is the downfall of a gambling addict who is determined to fulfill his addiction and most addicts who have started to take this bad step will usually end their life and go far away and move to another city.


When you borrow money and then again put all that money into gambling, this means that you are totally addicted to gambling and you are too desperate to win.

I have never seen such a gambler win anything that could help him return the loan and at the same time get any money for this profits too. The gambler will usually lose all the borrowed money too and now he would be helpless as he has to repay the loan as well. Such a bad financial situation will lead to suicide and other social evils.

I wish, somehow gambling addiction could be eliminated from society.
2022  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the drive that makes women go into gambling? on: September 20, 2023, 11:36:12 PM
I think for many women some of the few reasons they go into gambling, is that gambling provides them with the opportunity to be sociable and enjoy time with friends and also use it to escape boredom loneliness or even stress, excitement is also part of the reasons why women goes into gambling the sense of winning creates an additional anticipation of something bigger having the spotlight on you as a winner can make you feel good even for a brief moment. This has eventually turn into frequent trips or long session in gambling.
People goes to gamble for main reason, that is to earn money and increase their profits. Even women would see it as their first goal. Socializing and making new friends are just some of the little factors that make them excited to gamble. But I don't think married women are still capable of doing this. Enough for them to see their men gambling, and just consider theirselves as home buddy while taking care of their kids.

Gambling is being played by men and women in the same way and the reason for women gambling are the same as the reason for any men to gamble. It varies from person to person but the major reasons can either to win money or have fun or both.

Yes, i understand that women gambling is not considered good by our society and many people think that gambling is a men/s passion but actually there is no difference of gender in gambling and since the online gambling has become popular, the many girls are involved in gambling behind the scenes.

You are overrating India here. This is the same team that lost to Bangladesh recently despite some senior players being left out. My point is that their performances have been quite inconsistent recently.

They have the lineup to win the World Cup, but teams like Australia, England and South Africa have better chances in my honest opinion.
True and that's what I am worried about.

Before any ICC tournament Indian team gets tagged as a favorite and everyone puts extra pressure on the team and virtually in every knockout match the Indian team goes into their shell and then the bashing follows. 

The reason is that cricket is one of the most loved sports by the Indian nation and people are emotionally attached to cricket and the Indian players. When you have such a huge following, of course they will all support you for a win. They will want Team India to lift every ICC major event, the World Cup being the biggest of all events.

Instead of getting under pressure from such big fan followings, someone needs to teach them to take this love and affection in a way to further increases and boom up your spirits to perform even better.

The fear of losing should be overcomed by the will of winning.

withdraw your profits time to time, so you cannot stuck in a situation that your account got banned with all of your winnings (if the user wins).
The truth is you will not making money in gambling, so there's no such withdrawing profit from time to time like you're making a regular profit through gambling.

Assuming someone is win in gambling, they must be withdraw their profit to know how trusted is the casino. But the casino only allow withdraw for small amount winning, the casino's reputation is tested when someone win a huge amount that exceed from the gambler's total deposits.

If you play on a trusted casino, you will still get withdrawal if you have won a big amount. The reputed casinos will not stop your withdrawals.

It is only with the new casino, that they may or may not pay, if someone tries to withdraw large amount of money.

By the way, the new gambling casinos and with new narrative of web 3.0 or AI based casinos, it is hard to navigate the whole world of casinos.
I would prefer to stick to the one or two casino, where you feel comfortable and do not experiment much playing at different casinos.
2025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: September 20, 2023, 03:52:12 PM
I have personally watched several family got seperated, and it's all as a result of husband man always gambling away money that the wife believed would have been used for something much more important.

In my area where I live, there have been several instances where the neighborhood had to rush out to separate fights between husband and wife, and when tracing the root cause of the fight, it was discovered that husband man is unable to properly fend for his family because he spends more of his money and time gambling.

A very good friend of mine got seperated from his wife and kid, all as a result of his addiction to gambling, till today, this friend know not where his wife and kid are, it's more than 5 years already.

Gambling does affect relationships.

This is a sad aspect of gambling, isn't it?

Can the husband and wife come to some mutual consensus that the husband will allocate a certain amount of money to his personal hobbies and the wife will have no objection to it? So the husband gambles with that money or does whatever he likes, and the wife should never get upset about it.

Similarly the wife will also be given some money by husband and she can spent on makeup or whatever hobby and husband will have no objection about it. Until or unless there is mutual agreement and understanding between husband wife, it will only result in the end of relationship.

The match between England and Ireland will start in the next 30 to 40 mins. Everyone knows that England can easily win today's and the series because Ireland is a small and new team and England team is an amazing team, according to ODI. Ireland tour of England. Smiley

The match hasn't started yet and the reason is the wet outfield. Although there may not be much viewership for this match but England would be hoping to have a play so that they can get a win and also this will give them the match practice before the World Cup. If we do not have the match today, then it will be a draw, a result that more favours the weak Ireland team.

Perhaps if the match starts quickly in about 30 mins or so, we can have T20 between them meaning the overs reduced to 20 overs a side.

As I understand, many users of our forum who are accustomed to writing their messages here and those who do this often do not like Telegram and the atmosphere of chaos and the avalanche of idiotic posts that exist there.  And this is understandable, it’s just that no one wants to waste time scrolling through stupid dialogues like, well, you’re a fool... you’re a fool yourself. 

I doubt many users don't like Telegram. Sure, if you try to find some useful information in telegram chats, you will just waste your time because there will probably be tons of spam messages. However, the convenience of Telegram is that many projects create separate channels for announcing news or bots for operational support of users.
I certainly agree with the relative convenience of individual channels for individual serious projects in Telegram. 

But what I fundamentally dislike and disgust, for example, is that even in such channels, admins or some Telegram users often constantly insert various colored and bright pictures, gifs, etc., and of course sets of emoticons and other visual spam.  It’s unpleasant for me to scroll through the feed and all the time my eyes are dazzled by all this unnecessary rubbish.  This is not observed on our forum, or rather it is observed very rarely, and you can calmly read what our users write and, without being distracted by streams of emoticons, understand and study the meaning of the post.  This is a little more difficult to do in Telegram. 
But this is so in my opinion, I don’t insist on my opinion, I think those who have long been accustomed to this diversity and “fireworks” of multi-colored pictures have simply already developed the skill of ignoring all such spam. 
But it still pollutes the brain, no matter how you look at it.

A read only telegram community is still much better than a telegram group where everyone is allowed to post. But here we have two problems. One if the telegram group is restricted for positing, then the gamblers will won’t be able express their feedback. We will only see the version of the admins and they will be sort of “All Good”. However, if they open up the chat, the you will get a lot of spam and people will start to share their own links which may be harmful too.

The discussion of this gambling threads, on ANN gambling threads is much more neat and easy to read without any spam etc. Ann thread can give true feedback of the users playing at the gambling site..

After completing a comprehensive series with New Zealand, England once again hosted a three-match ODI series with Ireland, with England as the host team and Ireland as the visiting team.Ireland will take on England tomorrow in the first match of the three-match ODI. The team that England have fielded against Ireland looks like England may have selected a third row team against Ireland. Most of the players from the original team will not be seen in this series. Still, the team that England have fielded against Ireland is certainly capable of winning against Ireland. The chances of England's victory in tomorrow's match are very high. I hope that England will win the first match and start this series well.eries'

Today we will witness the first ODI between England and Ireland at leeds. England are favorite for this one day series too. We have seen in the last test match between the two teams where England won this match comfortably.

Seeing the performance of the Ireland team in the test match, I do not accept any big change in the results and Ireland will face a hard time in these three ODI too. Meaning that the chances of upsets are close to Nil and hence the odds for the England won’t be good to bet.
2029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Free Entry ]🏏CONTEST ICC MENS WC 2023 AND DISCUSSION on: September 20, 2023, 06:39:01 AM
I think this is the beauty of this contest that it will be totally concluded in the this forum and no third party will be used for getting any data. I am always thinking of new things and this will be my first try to manage whole contest manually.


I really like your enthusiasm and commitment to this contest and wish you the very best of luck.

By the way, add me to the contest too.

Here are my very first predictions about the tournament.

One Time :

1: Who will win the World Cup final:  Australia
2: Who will score high runs throughout the tournament: Shubman Gill
3: Who will pick more wickets throughout the tournament:  Kuldeep Yadav
4: Who will hit more sixes throughout the tournament:  Virat Kohli

Just curious, if you think Shubman Gill will score the most runs, Kuldeep Yadav will take the most wickets, and Virat Kohli will hit the most sixes throughout the tournament, what makes you think that India will not win the cup itself?  Grin

Well sometimes, you will find a lot of good performances by the individual players but they are unable to win the tournament. Another point is that this tournament is being held in India and they will have a lot of home ground pressure and sometimes a home team can fail to perform well in from of home crowd and can choke in the knock out stages of the tournament.

Well, India can still manage to win the cup but I feel that it is difficult for the home team to life the cup. Anyhow lets see how it goes, I have given my prediction which I think may be one of the possibilities.
2030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 20, 2023, 06:18:12 AM
It will be very hard for gamblers to pay tax so it is better for the casino company to pay the tax that collect the tax from the gamblers indirectly. Why I said indirect because poor gamblers do not like to pay tax because they are there to look for their daily meat and if a casino try to tax them directly they won't agree for that. Though the rich gamblers can pay their tax directly because they have enough to gamble and pay the tax but that is contrary to the poor gamblers which is more in the gambling field. Therefore tax efficiency can not found in the lower class gamblers but can be in the middle and upper class gamblers.

When you say that poor gambler cannot pay the tax, then we should know that not every one has to pay the taxes. Only those who have certain amount on income falls in the tax net. If a gambler is poor, the he would not have that much money on which he need to pay tax and therefore he would be exempted from the tax.

However, if that poor gambler win big amount and he suddenly become rich and have taxable income, then he would be need to give the tax and I think in that case, he should give the tax if it is the requirement from the law of his country.

2032  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: September 19, 2023, 01:02:56 PM
Not secret but not broadcast either, its nobodys business but your own really much like many activities.   IF you mean secret from your family especially your wife who you split finances from then yea I would prefer not to have to do that but I understand if many people do avoid that aggravation if its not really needed to do.   The only real reason you have to disclose gambling is when you fail to control or  balance your finances then likely its problem for you and everyone around you unfortunately.
True, the worst problem you can encounter is getting addicted to gambling and losing a lot of money because of it which can lead to real trouble. IMO the best thing to do is to be open with your family and your tell about your gambling activities and you shouldn't hide it. Things tend to get worse when you hide such stuffs like that and if they find out, it can lead to a lot of troubles, sometimes even resulting in divorce or major problems within your family.

Of course when you defaulted utility bills, its definitely time to pause and think through. But as long as you manages to make it and you spend the money that your wife has allocated for you, there is no need for her to know how you spend the money or your gambling activity.

Wives talk to other wives. They even talk how big your dick is. So your habit is just another that will make them despise you.

It becomes extremely hard for anyone to hide gambling activities within the home. For example, for a husband, it is almost impossible to hide that he is gambling (even if he is using his own money) as his wife can catch him gambling online on his system or mobile. Yes, you can keep your gambling habit hidden from friends or relatives but it becomes extremely difficult to hide it from the people living at your home.

So in my opinion, it is better to talk to your family, take them in confidence that you are gambling, only allocating certain funds, and show them the profits earned.
2033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 19, 2023, 07:33:03 AM
I would consider it only as bad news for the Pakistan team. Just before the start of the world cup, they lost of one their major fast bowler., Naseem Shah as he is injured.

Although we know about Muhammad Amir as he is also a good bowler however i do not know if he is in the form or not. I haven't seen him play for the Pakistan team for a long time. Yes, he has got the pace and he is sort of a furious bowler like Shoaib Akhtar, but I do not know if he could be successful on the pitches of India.

Muhammad Amir career from Pakistan is very much over, currently he has got UK residency and is settled there. There are few options to replace Naseem Shah like Muhammad Hasnain, Hassan Ali and Shahnawaz. I think Muhammad Hasnain is a good option as he has got pace and can be effective on Indian pitches.

So what is the official news then? Will Muhammad Amir represent Pakistan in this World Cup or will the PCB will look for other options?
No matter who they play with, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi bowling was one of the best fast bowling attack but now I guess Afridi has to find a suitable partner who can keep the pressure at the other end.

He said that I don’t need this money. I will give all the money to the workers who made the tournament. If there is no gain then this tournament would not have happened and this money is too little for me but this money is too much for them so I will donate this money to them.

This is a very good gesture by Muhammad Siraj. Only a few people think for others and this initiative may compel more crickets to donate their money to the ones (grounds men etc) who work day and night to make ground arrangements for all these matches to take place.
2034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 19, 2023, 07:08:13 AM
It does not matter if the players playing for these small countries are native or from the other Asian region but I think that all those people have the nationality of that particular country. Is it?

We see the South African team including the white players and not only the black ones. The teams like Ireland and Scotland have Asian players, not only English players. So there is nothing wrong if we see Asian cricketing nationals playing for the national teams of the Gulf region. They have the contract and agreement to play for those countries.


All players in Gulf cricket teams don't have passport of the country they are representing. Gulf countries never give nationality to foreigners. All these players are on work visa. So we can't compare Gulf cricket model with South Africa and Scotland. Now icc is giving more funds to teams from Gulf then to teams with 100% local like Nepal and Thailand.

In that case, ICC needs to be strict as to which players can be included in a national team and which they cannot include. I think only the nationals should be included in the team where they are native or have a permanent visa /Nationality.

If you just start to include other countries' players by offering them high incentives, this may lead to a bad trend. The rich Gulf countries can even hire the best of the best crickets from the Asian regions (India / Pakistan / Bangladesh / Afghanistan) and they have the money to give them better salaries and incentives.

ICC should have a clear vision on this.

Thanks , I remembered your IPL contest which was much better and I hope this will be big one too. Welcome mate, doors are open for everyone.

I am a bit confused as how will you keep track of all the matches and the entries by the people. All of the old contests used the third party site superbru and every calculation was automatic and managed by that site.

Let's suppose you have 20 members participating and each member will give his prediction about the match wins, toss and other stuff. Wouldn't it be a headache to manually update all these stats?

Also, you need to be online at all times, to check the member's predictions and verify them (by quoting or any other means so no one can edit their posts and change the values).

I really do not understand how this will be managed yet to ensure transparency.
2036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No KYC vs KYC enabled casinos (Facts you need to know) on: September 19, 2023, 06:22:40 AM
The people have already made their choice, and it's clear they prefer a KYC casino over a non-KYC casino. I believe it's more appropriate to refer to it as 'decentralized gambling' because some casinos claim to be non-KYC but are still regulated. It's important to question the longevity of such claims. When a casino is regulated, it's obligated to adhere to the implementing rules set by regulators, including KYC compliance. So, it's wise not to trust those that claim to be non-KYC casinos.
Clearly, there's no guarantee that a casino will continue operating as a non-KYC platform, as government policies can change over time. Perhaps there's a specific threshold of funds that would trigger KYC requirements, and yet casinos may not make this information readily available to potential gamblers to avoid discouraging them. Instead, this requirement is often buried in the Terms of Service (TOS), and many gamblers simply click the 'Sign Up' button without reading the full TOS, remaining unaware of the KYC conditions.

Although everyone want to play at the non KYC casino but the risk playing their and getting our money stuck is more as compare to the kyc casinos.

Sometimes the non-KYC casino may not ask for KYC until you won some big amounts. Or they can even ask for the KYC if you deposit any big amount in the casino. For this reason, i will usually deposit less in a Non-KYC casino so in case they ask for KYC or do not accept my KYC, in both cases my risk of losing money will be minimized.

2037  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betcrypto.cr |No KYC Casino & Sportsbook| 100% welcome bonus + 100% reload bonus on: September 19, 2023, 04:58:03 AM
I just discovered this casino and thread today and the first thing that caught my eyes were the No KYC and the bonuses. It might mislead new users in the future.

Well, they are a no-KYC casino for sure. They already have told that they aren't going to ask for KYC from any user ever. Regarding the bonus (200% welcome), it has been paused due to a significant number of abuses. A lot of people tried to claim the bonus by creating new accounts. Right now, their bonus has been set and the site has been developed as par but they are having the final test, having some more exclusive updates, etc. as per the chat I had with the team.

It is because of the cheaters, that the casino aren't able to give bonuses and that too without KYC as then people will just make many accounts to misuse the bonus. I think in the case, gambling casinos does not have much choices other than to limit the bonuses etc.

Anyways, i liked the fact that they are non-KYC casino. The good casino with no KYC are very rare and this one is a good find.  Smiley
2038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 18, 2023, 05:58:40 PM
I'm researching the topic on how many users actually report their winnings or losses to the tax authority, and from the current research there's a major discrepancy in the processes from country to country;


Well, most people would not tell the tax authority that they are gambling or that they have made that much money which needs to be taxed. This becomes more common in countries where gambling is prohibited and people only gamble at online sites. Think for a moment, that gambling is restricted in your country and you tell your tax authorities that you made that much money through gambling. No one can declare this income and it happens in mostly underdeveloped countries where laws may not be strict.

If the laws of your country are strict, then only people will pay taxes on their gambling income.
2039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When the fun stops on: September 18, 2023, 05:35:09 PM
For people like you and me, gambling could be fun to some extent, beyond that mind always looks for some profit. This is the real expectation, and when we look for money we're at the risk. Because, we start to spend beyond our ability. Fun stops when we consider gambling as a way to make money.

For us, gambling is fun as long as we are making money out of it. How many times we have seen that we go to a physical casino or sit in front of our system, to play at an online casino and we are so much enthusiastic and hopeful to gamble. As long as we are winning the games we feel happy but as soon as we start to lose the games, our mood changes instantly.

We cannot remain happy because we lose money in gambling. Money is important for middle class people like us and we cannot afford to lose money. So for us, it is actually the money which keeps us happy in gambling.

Casino rating sites are often faked like loaded dice. Casinos manipulate these sites to score higher. Additional warning: restrictions and licences. Does the casino operate under a reputable jurisdiction? No crowd or big wins can replace such validation.
Very true. I keep seeing so many gambling site review threads within this forum who promote various sites with their own ulterior motives ignoring the fact that they are liable for leading some gamblers to scam sites.

Proper research by checking gambling site ANN threads in this forum is necessary in order to check their legitimacy.

Even if those gambling review sites do not lead us to the scam sites, they definitely promote their referral links and therefore the gambling sites that offer the most reward for referrals, those reviewing site will first promote those sites so people register on them with the site owners link and he gets the referral commission.

In short, gamblers need to make it a habit to read the content on the site carefully, whether it is the announcement at the gambling sites or people's reviews on the review sites.
