Why wouldn't it, people believe it so some casinos capitalize on it by advertising they have it or they believe in it so people who believe it would actually chose said casinos to play in since well, it aligns with their belief or something along the lines. Some people have had a good experience with it though honestly, it's all just luck to me, nothing more, nothing else.

I have some habits I do, something like how choosing C on an exam would bring you the correct answer one way or another kind of habit, it's something I subconsciously do when a certain/specific scenario pops up or happens to me whenever I play.
2102  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can all (or most) cryptocurrencies rise and fall at the same time? on: July 16, 2022, 10:32:51 AM
They follow a general trend and Bitcoin stands as the one that pretty much they follow since it's still the top coin to choose (and would probably stay as one). Besides, the general sentiment on one part of the market would usually influence the other parts, so Bitcoin being down also inevitably brings up a negative sentiment (for the most part) in the altcoin department. Not to say that altcoins don't have their own market, the pumps and dumps still vary from coin to coin but most of the time it's infested with whales manipulating the amount a market would dump or pump.
2103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This clearly damage the gambling. on: July 15, 2022, 11:59:57 PM
That was one big bruh moment. I'd say it'd be better for him to go into acting but with skills like that I reckon he'd also be pretty bad at it.

That aside though, I'd want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that it was an accident but... Only if it were on a idk, scale of a college or even highschool level at most. It just isn't possible to make a mistake like this in an official match when you're playing in an official match.

On the side of bookies though, I think they would've voided the bets for the entire match if match fixing were to be noticed? Cause if they didn't there's a high chance groups would take advantage of it and intentionally fix matches and make bets for profits.
2104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Discussion] Should Gambling be Banned? on: July 15, 2022, 01:24:36 PM
I'm against it. It's a legal business imo with a pretty clear statement of how they earn money and how they offer their services to their users/customers. The main issue here imo is about addiction but really, it's an issue that affects both the user and the business, mostly on the user side imo.

It's already being controlled and regulated imo, but it isn't up to date. Especially with how easy it is to look up guides on how to bypass stuff, casinos should improve that system of theirs. They don't particularly do it since it doesn't really affect their profits and would only incur them costs imo.
2105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Popular Themes for Online Slot on: July 14, 2022, 10:39:44 PM
No particular favorite. If I were to be forced to pick though then the most notable one for me would be fruit-themed and Egyptian-themed. Those two are by far the most memorable ones since they were one of the first themed casinos I've tried iirc. Recently though I just choose whatever attracts my eye and just play on it if I ever want to play slots. Not particularly picky about it nor do I believe that one slot theme is better for luck than the other really.

I might have a specific theme in mind when playing, just that I don't really remember it and just pick it subconsciously. I just know I'm more on the attractive/brighter color schemes.
2106  Economy / Economics / Re: Thoughts on CBDC's and long-term effect on the cryptomarket on: July 14, 2022, 12:04:21 PM
I'd say it's more of an improvement if you were to consider originally how fiat is and how governments are making it work right now. It also opens up improvements on money transfers in different situations which makes it a lot easier for the regular person, kind of how the advantage of centralization is supposed to originally be. If you look at it from another perspective, CBDC is simply fiat but made more secure (for the government that is) and transparent (hopefully). I honestly don't think much is gonna change for us, whether it be as users of fiat or users of crypto.

I don't think it's going to ruin or damage the crypto scene, maybe an initial FUD of sorts after it officially releases as a form of currency, but other than that, they live their lives there and we live our lives here.
2107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more uses to deposit. on: July 14, 2022, 06:04:44 AM
Definitely. It opens up a LOT of ways for a gambler to stop gambling and possibly use the money they got from winning to buying, say a gift card or two, or maybe just loading it up on their own cash wallet where they can use it immediately to pay bills or buy something. It also opens up a lot for newbie gamblers who have limited options that are available for them (I've been there, and it's a real pain ngl). This is only on my perspective though since that's honestly what I thought up first if casinos were to expand their withdrawal options.
2108  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Many people become binance futures full time traders as job on: July 13, 2022, 12:42:45 PM
Now many people becomes binance full tome time fututrs trader as full time.
Its a good full time job reasons:
All ur earnings on binance debit card instant.
U dont need to go anywhere u cam even do job with smart phone.
Well if they know what they're doing and they have the time to do so, then yes it is indeed a job that you can profit off of pretty well. That's why trading is also a job in general really, as long as you have the time, skills, and budget to start off your road, you can pretty much do it. It's rather easy and quick for one to go bankrupt though, especially with crypto.

I think kids should also learn that in school instead of useless things but good job how to make decent incone without going anywhere or over work.
Yea no. It's like teaching art students famous art styles cause they're tried and tested. They have their own skills and judgments so that wouldn't really work. Maybe if it were a static type of job, but futures (or investing in general) is a rather dynamic type of thing, it's quick to change and different ideas and strategies are used for different projects/investments.
2109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in Casino tokens such as BFG, OWL or TFS on: July 13, 2022, 10:52:27 AM
Wouldn't really consider those tokens on the same level or at least attribute the market that they have as the same as the market of Bitcoin. Those tokens are for casinos after all, and the market that they have is rather different from the investors and users of Bitcoin, not to mention that they're relatively less known compared to the big tokens. There's also the possibility that it's artificially manipulated since it's much easier to control the market for these kinds of tokens imo.

Plus, the token seems to be used on the casino itself for benefits, so that may be a reason for the increase in price, though it may just be temporary in the end due to a temporary increase in the amount of players/users.
2110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Threshold of Loss in Gambling on: July 12, 2022, 11:50:05 PM
Not really no. Rather instead of a loss, I just set a maximum amount that I can use to gamble and I'm free to spend it all or not depending on how I feel. I consider that set amount as something I've already lost, so if you can count that as one then that would be mine.

There's instances though where money is left because I won quite a bit, but even then It'd highly depend on how I'm feeling as to whether I'd actually continue or not.
2111  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake making new accounts is too easy on: July 12, 2022, 11:11:33 AM
Idk, pretty sure it's not only stakes responsibility to do something about the problem, it's also yours?  They already did something about your og account, you making more is basically ruining the fix that they did.

Gambing addiction is not only the problem of casinos, it's also the problem of the involved person and blaming them like this simply pushes the responsibility away.
2112  Other / Off-topic / Re: Manny Paquiao vs Korean Youtuber on: July 12, 2022, 10:59:16 AM
Why though? If Pacquiao wanted to set exhibition matches, I think there'd be tens or hundreds of better choices that would've made sense. If it's a money issue I still think there'd be better options or offers? Though if time was an issue then it might be a different idea altogether. Still gonna support him though.
Although I'm still going to speculate Pacman had lost tons of money during his failed Presidential run.
It still wouldn't make that much sense even if he lost a lot on his run. There's probably a bunch of better options he could've chosen from, maybe even outside of boxing itself.
2113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Grand Lotto Winner on: July 11, 2022, 11:52:39 AM
O you don't have to worry about it that much, there's been a bunch of winners in the past and they haven't really (afaik) released any personal info pertaining to the winners. City isn't really a problem since there's a LOT of people out there living in the same city most likely.

And I don't think the winners don't know the risks involved with them winning. They're probably off preparing a bunch of stuff already to maybe move out or temporarily live somewhere else.
2114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Payouts in casinos on: July 11, 2022, 06:00:38 AM
I guess it boils down ultimately to the capabilities of the casino? They're able to give out higher payouts to players depending on the current state of the casino itself, taking into consideration factors such as player count, staff, financial situation, fees, etc.


I don't particularly concern myself with it tbf, I just mostly play on reputable sites in the first place.
2115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment on: July 11, 2022, 02:23:10 AM
I guess you could consider it as such? Though I don't think it's wrong,  I'm guessing those hormones are something natural, not just in gambling, you can probably get it as well from playing different types of games.

I reckon the bad thing here is an excess or letting yourself be swept away by those? In simple terms it's like the feeling of thrill and such. To the point where if you feel it even by a small amount, you just get swept by it immediately.
2116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: General Information: Bet-at-home license suspended on: July 10, 2022, 03:28:22 PM
It seems like they might still be able to retract the suspension or something? Though it may need them idk, half a year maybe? That's a reasonable amount of time for the UK commission to let them fix what's the problem and recheck it again I think? I'm guessing the mistakes were around advertising or something close related to maybe their social media?


There is a lack of decentralized casino/gambling websites in the market, If someone covers this part, they will be ultra-rich.
Regulations are going to be strict with anything related to crypto, that's pretty obvious, a decentralized system will be really great and will secure anonymity too on the blockchain.
There really isn't anything crypto-related here, it's just a casino that simply failed to comply with the laws and regulations of the organization. Though I guess having a decentralized casino would pretty much avoid this issue of being regulated/governed altogether anyway.
2117  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance will be ban in the Philippines? on: July 09, 2022, 02:01:00 PM
Yes, they can, especially if Binance doesn't actually comply with what the PH authorities (whoever holds authority about crypto anw) actually want, which is basically applying for a license for their company to do business here. I assume Binance would do something about it if they were urged about it or maybe even doing it now, just that it may not be a top priority since again, they weren't really being rushed to comply.

Reading the article, it seems like CZ is already on talks about getting the license/s needed for Binance here. From OP's 2nd article
Quote
Just last week, the founder of Binance, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao was in the Philippines to discuss his company’s expansion. He mentioned that Binance is interested to acquire a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license and the e-money (EMI) license.
2118  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportbet.io lock my account. I cant play game or withdrawal on: July 09, 2022, 11:55:53 AM
That is just not rubbish but my own opinion, I just hate that some people may not take advantage of the deposit offer, they will register on a gambling site, their deposit will not be suspended but their withdrawal would be suspended, no one is againsting that.

But if their withdrawal is suspended because of multiple accounts, I then meant that it is not bad for the gambling site to still be compassionate and check if the person have abused the 2 accounts like through deposit bonus offer. Although that is not yet related to what OP said but my opinion which may lead to further discussion.
Accounts are simply not checked on deposit because they DON'T check at that point. Most accounts are checked instead at withdrawal attempts, hence any flagged behavior becomes known at that point, whether it was because of them doing an abuse or not. It's simply a TOS agreement, nothing more, nothing else.

From a legal point of view, the bookmaker has no right to close an account for the so-called multi-account. if he has sent documents, they are obliged to pay regardless of the number of registrations from 1ip.
I recently read that they convicted a bookmaker with a license from Malta in the same case and paid with the interest  Cheesy
Not if they included multi-accounting not being allowed on their TOS. That's the legal point of view.
2119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: P2E crypto - which ones are good and worth it? on: July 09, 2022, 07:40:09 AM
I'm most familiar with Ni No Kuni, MIR4, and Axie Infinity. Ni No Kuni and MIR4 allow you to play for free but you honestly wouldn't get anything out of it unless you pay since the default you get wouldn't really be enough to compete, so the rewards are abysmal as well (and afaik, Ni no kuni was a flop at its release). Axie infinity was brought down BIG time by hype (which was also the one that brought it up tbf), but it's still a solid game. Entry-level is pretty cheap now that the hype is gone, about $25-$30 can get you in.
2120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Am I doing the right thing on: July 09, 2022, 04:18:15 AM
You can probably make more with altcoins if you were shorting good projects (or even hype ones even). Just that it's a matter of timing so it's very reliant on luck, unlike hodling Bitcoin in the long term which hasn't really failed most investors so far. Well, as they say, high-risk high reward after all. I wouldn't really consider it a mistake but I would recommend studying up more on markets and the projects you're planning to invest in before doing anything. Learn also how to set up stop losses and the like that you need just in case the market goes negative.
