2101  Economy / Gambling / Re: What else should an established crypto casino add? on: February 06, 2023, 03:38:18 PM

Gamblers will be trying new casinos all the time. You can't do anything about that. Your goal should be to make them want to stay on your platform, while playing on others too.
I would also add that in the process of developing and refining the ability to play new games or old games known to players with improved interfaces, the time factor is important.
 Such software changes must be very dynamic and fast.  Otherwise, of course, competitors will outrun the developers of this casino, and then, of course, players will begin to gradually move to other gambling sites that they like more.

 But for this, of course, you need constant monitoring of competitors' developments and, of course, a strong powerful devs team.

I don't think an attractive gambling platform should perform constant software changes. Changing something on your site once in 2-3 years period is enough. You should just make deals with reputable slots and other software providers, and it's their job to make sure that everything was up-to-date. Unless you want everything on your platform was made by you, but it's so hard, it's almost impossible.

That's definitely something nice, and always has been. I like the freebets in a sense because I like to do the most impossible bets ever, like the favourites to win, so that should be easy right? Like the team I bet on has 1.40 odds, so I should win right? Yeah, but I pick like 15 of them if I can Cheesy.

Or whatever max I am allowed at that moment, 15 was my max but maybe one day I can manage to bet on more. That's the type of thing I like, when you have 10-15 bets, in a single ticket, with odds ranging from 1.20 to 1.70, that's still pretty insane to hit. Never managed to win anything with that before, it is definitely something difficult, but I bet I will get it eventually.

Your post inspired me to do just the same. First off, I was surprised how hard it was to find 15 available bets with the odds around 1.4. At first I was planning my bets in the range 1.35 - 1.45, but then I gave up and made them in the range 1.32 - 1.54. Now I'm sure that I could find something more appropriate than 1.54, but it was my last bet in that multibet and I was too tired to search again.

It was a question to me, what the final odds might be with a 15-leg multi bet with average odds being at 1.42 (I just calculated it). Now I know, there they are:


...


Almost 200.00. Not bad, considering that each one of them is the most expected outcome.

I think from now on, apart from bets like this(my favourite ones):



I'll be making multibets with the odds around 1.40 on average. It's interesting to see what strategy will be more effective. Smiley
2103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Roller Tailing on: February 06, 2023, 12:30:02 PM
Have you guys tried tailing high rollers with their bets on sports and electronic sports?
Because today I tried doing it just for an experiment and I took a bet on 5 games even without knowledge about them. I didn't put too much money into it because like I said, it's just for a trial.
It didn't end up well and these are the results. 4 losses and 1 win.


I copied the bet of users who are mostly playing above $1000 per bet. Some 1 Ethereum and the other with 0.1BTC if I remember it right.
So I thought, these gamblers are not joking about their bets, they must have researched hard and knew who has the highest chance to win or the end result of the scores.
Question: Has anyone been successful in doing this?

I know it's not right to bet on a game without knowing about it, I am just curious if someone does this kind of strategy.

I think your experiment is a very interesting one. Thanks for conducting it and posting the results here. We can't make any conclusions from just 5 bets, we need many thousands of bets for that, but we can discuss our expectations from this kind of betting.

I personally think that money-wise it's not worth it, or, in other words, it's the same as copying any other bets because in most cases people betting $1,000 at once are not more knowledgeable. They just can afford to lose $1k, same as we can afford to lose $1 or $10. But entertainment-wise it is surely interesting because we can make such bets and discuss our experiences in this thread, and kinda compete with each other in making more successful bets this way.

2105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: US casinos set new record of revenue on 2022 on: February 06, 2023, 11:53:05 AM
Gambling is getting more popular, just at the US casinos produced almost 55 billion dollars in revenue during 2022, an amount which surpassed the previous record that was established last year, and since any trend going on the US is most likely taking place all over the world it seems safe to assume the same is happening at many other countries.

Have you noticed this as well where you live? Are cryptocurrency casinos experimenting the same kind of boom as fiat casinos?

Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/willyakowicz/2023/01/13/us-set-gambling-record-in-2022-with-more-than-549-billion-in-revenue/

I'm sure they are, only I don't think it's possible to find reliable stats on that. Online crypto casinos are, of course, still less popular than fiat casinos, but I think we can safely assume that the online crypto casinos' yearly turnover is measured in billions of US dollars. And this industry will only be growing in the future because people want to spend more time at home than outside(because of pandemics and many other things). Land-based casinos will not go anywhere because for some people the experience is irreplaceable, but most of the gamblers, I think more than 90% of them, will be gambling online.
2106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Interesting Facts About Online Casinos on: February 06, 2023, 11:26:49 AM
Fact number 8 is a well known one.That will continue to be the top for many years to come and the reason is simple,in slot machines we have a huge variety of slots,themes,sounds,graphics and what is most important different bonus games mechanics in almost every slot,almost all of them have a unique bonus.Beside this in most of these games you can have the option to buy in the bonus game or feature game when you are feeling that luck is not on your side at specific times so you don't go away bored without trying the bonus game.

All that is true, and yet I think that the main reason why online sots are so popular that no other type of online games can be even compared to them is that people find unpredictability exciting. When you place a bet of $1 on one number in a roulette game, you will either lose your bet, or you will win 35x of your bet. And you can say with certainty that whatever you do, you will never win 40x of your bet or more. While with slots you can win $0.10 or $10,000, or more, and it's totally unpredictable what's going to happen.

Yes congrats to all the winners. As usual my prediction is far from reality. Grin
Lol. My predictions are almost always close, but not close enough. As these competitions become more and more popular, it will become tougher and tougher to win them, but the silver lining is that they become more entertaining this way.


Absolutely! There's little fun in ending up in the top three when there are only 5 participants. But when there are more than fifty of them, like the last time, you feel special when you win, right guys? Congrats, lucky bastards! Smiley

~ Any suggestion from anyone which games are good to make some cash? Suggest me three, I will try.

I suggest you to play these two:

Bitcasino Billion

Gates of Bitcasino

with the minimal bet possible if you want to have fun for longer.

And play this one, if you want to wager it quicker:

Expansion!

I still suggest you to place minimum bets, because this way you have more chances of hitting something great(in my opinion), but they are 0.3 mBTC on Expansion!, so it will take less time to wager your prize. Good Luck! Smiley
2108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: February 05, 2023, 11:50:53 AM
... But my question is, how, even theoretically, we can use AI for the games of chance? I mean, it can tell you what part of your bankroll to stake at once to, theoretically, last longer, but in reality your very first bet can be that with the highest multiplier possible, and no AI can tell you for sure that it won't happen.

It won't be very useful for games with mathematically determined odds, where the house has an edge. But (when it's able to collect data from external sources) it could be good for things like looking for positive EV opportunities on numerous different gambling sites (i.e. with high enough Jackpot and low number of players, the mathematical edge can sway on your side).

Yes, it could be, but in reality, if using an AI for that you would likely to end up on a scam site with very favorable odds, but no intention to pay you out ever.

Another problem with positive EV games is that you need to make many millions of bets to really take advantage of that.

But it'd probably most useful for gambling with "judgmental" odds, i.e. sports betting, where it could be looking for arbitrage opportunities (but I think we already have that for quite a while) or it could run an advanced analysis on teams performance, past results, patterns etc and could help you find good value bets (i.e. with pay-out rates higher than they should be). Then it could help you decide on the size of the wager for best long-term effects.

The problem is, if such tools will be available to players, bookies will also be using them in order to not get screwed.

Yeah, bookies and other gamblers too. And this will change the odds in such a way that you will need to risk $100 in order to potentially win $5 with a 94% win chance. Sounds familiar? Yeah, those are the odds for a dice game. Smiley
2109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Casinos Want you to Gamble Responsibly on: February 05, 2023, 11:07:32 AM
I don't believe online casinos enjoy seeing a gambler lose money.

Casinos have their house edge, and that's how they make money: the more people wager on their platform, the more the casinos earn. They don't care whether you are losing or winning as long as you are wagering. And, of course, they don't enjoy someone losing much more than he/she can afford to lose. It can potentially create troubles for a particular casino and gambling industry in general. No one needs that. So, contrary to popular belief, casinos are not interested in people losing all their money to them. Casinos want to see responsible gamblers on their platforms, not some gambling addicts.

There is nothing wrong to treat your work/family seriously but remember you have to draw a bottom line. If anybody tries to take advantage of you in whatever reason,  please cut them off immediately. If not, an endless horrible life is what you'll get. I believed in good heart and being kind to all the people around me but this ideal does not work in real life. We have to know when to be an asshole in order to survive. Winners always take it all and losers get nothing.

Not letting to use you is one thing, but being an asshole is entirely another. We, humans, have been building a world where assholes have small chances to survive, and sympathetic and helpful people have bigger ones. The times of those "winners" that "take it all" have passed, but, as we can see, many people haven't noticed that.

Again, don't let leeches to use you and keep you apart from your financial freedom, but know this: being an asshole is bad for your survival at the present times.

It's probably also the same when you're trading cryptocurrencies. The thrill of taking a risk in a shitcoin will perhaps release more dopamines in your brain than buying Bitcoin, then sitting on your hands for the HODL. Hahaha.

It might also be why 90% of people trying to "trade" lose their capital because they can't stop themselves from looking for their next dopamine rush.

And probably also it's the same with any other risky activity that can potentially give you a big reward. Those are the tricks our mind plays with us. The thing is that our brain has not changed since tens of thousands of years ago, and this behaviour, always taking the risk to potentially get something big, was the right one for our survival for many thousand of years because there were no slot machines, no crypto trading, and we, humans, rarely had this opportunity to get a fortune of a lifetime within one day.

~snip
you have just ~9 hours left and the matchday starts today with the game augsburg vs. leverkusen (where everything is possible)

yeah, anything is possible, Augsburg is generally tough at home, and Leverkusen is better after restart, although lost home match to Dortmund last round

generally this is one of toughest matches to predict this round, Stuttgart home match is also difficult, most other matches have clear favorite for a win, and Bayern is chasing a win after three matches without a win, and Wolfsburg is a right place for that, despite their good form lately


These words of yours were so right, and yet even you didn't bet on Augsburg to win(none of us actually did). Maybe if I saw your post yesterday, I would bet on Augsburg, but, well, I missed it.

At least I have submitted my predictions for the upcoming games. I predicted Freiburg to score a goal, but still lose to Borussia Dortmund, and Union Berlin, Eintracht Frankfur and Bayern Munich(although playing away) to win without other team scoring. Soon we'll see how it will turn out for me. Smiley

But I don't really look for arbitrage. As I mentioned, my bet was $5. I prefer to either We gamble for funor win 23x5. Instead of "guaranteeing" $1 win. If odds were 2x it would be different I would definitely risk a further $50. Then I either win $55, or $45. Smiley

I agree with you. We gamble for fun, and trying to win over $100 is fun, while trying to win "guaranteed" $1 is rather depressing. I mean, if you can easily afford to lose $5, I totally understand what you did, and I think it was right. Counterbetting to have a tiny net profit is boring imo.

On the other hand I have doubt about you too - who would write garbage to make other feel small.
Everyone has their opinion - and you can't control the whole world opinion and you are not the only wise person to tell other what they should write. You have made a personal attack here.

It was rude. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. What I really wanted was to to make you open your eyes and see that the world isn't that evil as any dictatorship's propaganda making its listeners to believe. No one wants to start wars(vaccinate people with deadly vaccines, or whatever) and kill millions of innocent people only to reduce the world population and stuff. It's only totalitarian sect leaders and totalitarian governments tell their slaves that the only good force in the world is them. Don't be one of those slaves. You deserve a better life.

Yes, i buy 4 tickets. But i try to choose tournaments where it is enough to play until the final table, after that you prize is more than ticket.

If you don't rebuy/re-enter along the way, it is, but a couple of rebuys makes it not enough to be in the paid places to get your money back.

And while you fold cards your opponents think that you never bluff. Near the end of the tournament you can change strategy and the opponents still think that you never bluff.  

Interesting. I'm using exactly the same tactic, and it works most of the time. It doesn't work only when your opponent has a really good hand. Then, of course, he calls your bluff and you lose.

If you play in one tournament it much easier to understand your tactics.

I'm not sure about this. In my opinion, if you keep changing your tactics all the time, it's impossible to understand it.
2117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rejecting odd provider's limit on: February 04, 2023, 09:56:25 AM
The best way is to monitor gaming providers, because they're a different section but exist in all casinos, and that makes it look like all Casinos communicate with each other to detect players. I think if a gaming provider flags a player for being underage or fraudulent disputes they can easily track that person on other casinos using their detective systems. And this time the player may be unlucky and the account will get restricted after they've won some money. They could be a way other than changing IP, proxies, or even Kyc how these people determine a suspicious player. So, the way out is to change games and try focusing on games that has different providers. That way the user can be difficult to trace.

Keep in mind that there's another reason for someone being limited, and it's his/her gambling addiction. In some jurisdictions gambling providers are obliged to limit someone's stakes just because they are too big, or there are too many of them to consider them affordable for the gambler. So, providers put a limit on the stakes of such person, and then this person goes around forums saying he was limited because he was so good at betting and that casinos fear him.

I personally think that this is the main reason why someone is limited, but I have no proof of that, so, let's just keep in mind that there are such cases.

I don't know whether you have already sent a DM to @efialtis(and if you have, and he hasn't reply you yet, please don't be upset, he's a busy man), but I want to tell you this: he's a trusted member of this community, and I personally have encountered with him on many occasions(via this forum and other sites), and it has always been a nice experience. He's a trustworthy guy, and I'm glad you've found the info on his site, BTCGOSU, helpful.

And, yes, it is his site. I remember him creating it and naming after his dog, Gosu. Smiley

This is really fun because it like hunting jackpot on slot using minimum bet. What’s your percentage on winning on doing this kind of bet and what’s your minimum odds to bet on pick like this. I do this sometimes on Basketball when the underdog team is behind by huge score hoping that they can still give an upset match in the late game but I always lose on an odds more than 20 or so.

If you place a single bet with the odds 20.00+, you will almost definitely lose your bet, but for multibetting it is not so certain. Like today I placed a multibet on Duelbits with 43.61 odds:



I'm hoping to win because all the outcomes I bet on are pretty likely to come true, and, also, I won a multibet with 101.00 odds once, so why can't I win with 43.61 odds? Smiley
