Gambling sites like Bc.game and Rollbit now include trading feature in their casinos. In this game we need to predict small fluctuations in price over a short period of time.
This is became my favorite game. What do you think of this game?
Do you think this game gives us some advantage/edge to casino? Because most of the time, prices tend to Follow a repeating pattern like Up-Down Up-Down in a range.
You mean currency speculations?

Because seeing the title of gambling trading feature is new and something that we have not really had any successful projects that can combine both in one place,  this is because both casino and exchange are two different services that their operations are widely opposites each other and can be hard or almost impossible to combine the two.

But from your explanation,  what you describe is still gambling as long as you are just taking part in the coin price predictions,  and not engaging in those coin exchanges at some point let's say we have some level of freedom to speculate the directions the price of that coin we go and it works in our favour,  you win.

I think even cogitex will go to a $1 billion capitalization faster than bitcoin to $20 trillion
2026 is a long time from now,  and I guest your coin would have been dead by then or being the next bitcoin as you speculated,  but I am sure that a lot of things will happen in the market that will effect the piece of Bitcoin in a multiple ways before the year 2026 but then also we may still fine some alleges distraction from the market,  and this could also affect the price of bitcoin or any other assets in bitcoin.
2163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 16, 2023, 12:11:25 PM

most probably, these gamblers have one way or another experienced addiction at one point in their lives. but people have their own approach in addressing their addiction. so some got out successfully, and learned to manage their gambling activities to their own advantage.
whereas, a lot are still struggling to get out from their holes owed to their financial troubles. if you won't address your gambling situation, you will absolutely give yourself a desperate life.

The gambler who play for the longer period already get addicted to the gambling,So the gambler who had their continuous game,the other players seems this like the gambler as the gambling addicted person.But some gamble will play for the longer period to understand the game at the beginning stage.But the gambling addicted person had some advantage of predict the game by the use of their gambling addiction.Some successful gambler should try to teach the less experienced gambler and become the parent of the gambler winning by sharing your experience to the gambler win to the new game.
The fact that,  no matter what the level of your self discipline,  as long as you gamble excessively,  you are already an addict,  the only difference between the so called successful and the cure addicts who become overly indebted die to they non controlled gambling and spending that make them ruin in the first place and the only differences between both is that the successful gambler have money to sponsor his addictions.

Unlike normal addicts who may have become broke due to the fact that they borrowed and have spent family savings on gambling and may be in the financial worst positions,  so this is what differentiates the two characters from each other.

This forum is very useful for everyone who has joined as a member here especially for the crypto industry and also online gambling on cryptocurrency basis.
There is no doubt the fact that bitcointalk forum has been the best place to gain verse knowledge on a lot of things and also most things that I have learned in gambling were all from this forum,  member of the forum have helped share their personal experiences in the comments and also have shown us some other sources where to learn one or two things as far as gambling os concerns and this is really great to be part of this movement.

Being a member of this forum have helped me a whole lot to escape a lot of things that could have possibly resulted in scam sometimes,  but with the knowledge I built from this forum,  I could easily detect such attempted scams at such.
2165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: October 16, 2023, 07:13:02 AM
I admire the countries that ban minors from gambling and the countries that also ban the use of credit cards in casinos. Because of these governments, you can see their true concern for the people and what will happen if they violate their prohibitions.

From any angle, it is not good to see that a child is gambling. We know that gambling usually does not really bring anything good to the majority, although I do not. All that is needed is to be wise in the decisions we make. Just gamble based on being able to triple the amount in any casino.

The government already guideline the gambling site to fix the age for the gambler,because many kids get into the gambling and loss their school fee by hiding their parents.If the kids win the game,it may help them to support their studies in the next level.But the loss due to the less experience in the gambling the kids was loss their money in the gambling.So the gambling sites also enable the kyc for all the participation will help the less age kids to elimated at the beginning stage of the gambling.The kids who use the id of their parents will can’t be find by the gambling sites,but it’s very negligible in number.
Just like Alchohol consumption which have an age limit for consuming it,  same it is with gambling many all the countries that approve for it gambling license have all followed to minimum age requirement needed to be able to gamble,  but just like every other government regulation and law,  there is always a problem of follow up with implementations and at that you must have to discover and follow the right part yourself and being able to protect yourself from becoming worst while gambling so for that you need to place your own limit even if and when the government already place such limits.

Most of the time,  some gamblers still went ahead to default in the age attainment before gambling and this has led them to a lot of problems both in online casinos and physical casinos but mostly online casinos since there is no mechanism to check whether or not the gambler is above 18 at the point of registration and the only way to confirm the age are through KYC which doesn't happen all the time.
2166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 16, 2023, 06:27:35 AM
Best practice is to never go against your wishes, use the money you can afford for gambling, don't be too greedy for high win, learn to minimize risk, calm down and be patient with hile gambling and don't always push too forward being overconfidence whenever you are gambling, some people do bet because of the odds provided even though they aren't good at that particular sport betting, but because of the odd, they got attracted to giving a try, some losses were just from our personal gambling weakness.
It's obviously not a wise idea to bet on sports you don't know anything about even if you see that the odds are in the favor of the side you choose. Still, the results can always go against you because there can be things that you must know about the sport or the teams before you place your bet like maybe a player that has a big influence on the overall team isn't playing in that particular game. The odds makers didn't consider that fact when deciding the odds.

That's why, it's important for a sports bettor to have complete knowledge about a sport before they start making bets on it, and one should also know the teams and the players playing on that day so that they don't make a wrong choice and lose. It isn't a problem if the bet amount is low but if you are betting big, you will need to be careful with everything.
Sometimes,  I bet on clubs I don't know anything about them but in doing so,  I will only rely on two things,  which are my gots and luck at the same time,  and I only will bet on already playing games such as live games that I see have the best chances of ending with their current scores,  this way I just chose the team that I believe ha e a stronger chances of winning the game and then bet on them,  although I also do games analysis which is the best approach to sport beating,  that this will only work on pre matches selections.

Having general knowledge about football l or an in-depth analysis of the teams is a sure way to play safe while betting on sport,  but since we know how very unpredictable football matches can be,  this makes us also to rely so much on luck to win our bet in most times.
2167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker coming to stake.com in the near future ! on: October 15, 2023, 11:25:46 PM
After a long silence about poker on stake we just got a little update on stream.

Some person asked in chat what's happening and Eddie said poker will first come to stake.us "very soon" as yet another "social experience", funny how they are still trying to frame it as a "social casino" .

If the test run on the us site turns successful they will also offer it at .com, so that are interesting news for people who want to use their poker skills on stake in the future.
If the software will actually worth be anything is a different story.

Good update i must say, i personally have never played poker before, and neither do i know how to play it, but i do have friends who are really into the game, and in the area where i live, one will have to travel several miles to find a physical casino where they can play poker, since the online casinos that offer the game is very limited.

The news of the game coming to stake is a good one sincerely, and since they have chosen to test it on the us version of the site for now, all i can hope is that all goes well as they expect, so that they can also get the game listed on the main stake .com site, i possibly may learn to play through my friends if they get the game integrated on the main site.
Poker is a global game and integrating it into Stake will boost their traffic level because poker is an internationally known game and among the most referenced casino games,  I don't know what the main reason for the special attention to poker games

But then also we have to encourage more poker tournaments we have some food managers and organizers here also, so this will help a lot and I believe this could be in the pipeline for the long term.
2168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: October 15, 2023, 11:20:57 PM
There is a legal age for gambling, and many more rules and regulations are there, but in reality, should the government take serious action against it? And the laws are so strong that underage people are not going to gamble. Each country's laws and order change, but I am sure every country is trying to set a certain age bar for gambling to protect youngsters. They are starting it out of curiosity, and maybe soon it will become an addiction. So these rules should be strong enough, and awareness should be given properly. And also create some special team for supervising this area to make sure everything is going accordingly.

The age factor is the important one in the gambling because of the children get into the violence for the money need after the gambling addition.Some children who involved in the gambling may not get the continuous money supply from their parents or from their pocket money.So they start to do the taking the money money from their parents pocket without their knowledge.Since the children had access to their parents credit cards,they also use their credit cards to play the game by the gambling addiction.So the children below 18 should not be allowed by the gambling site and many trusted gambling sites follow the age factor.
Unfortunately, several online casinos today only have it in their terms of service that underaged gamblers are prohibited from playing on their site, but it actually ends there as they don't take further steps to make sure they do not entertain underaged gamblers.
There are several underaged gamblers today who secretly use their parents of their elder sibling's government issued documents to verify their gambling accounts without the knowledge of the casino, most especially on casinos that do not engage their customers in video or live verifications.

And in terms of the above, i will not completely blame the casino, Parents and teachers at school have their different roles to play in the upbringing of this kids, if parents give their kids good attention as required, such kid will not end up gambling while underaged.

So, this is my advice to parents to look after their wards, be interested in whatever they are interested in and teach them what is right to do for their age and what is not right, this will save parents the stress of trying to get their ward out of gambling after they have become addicted.


Let me tell you something, even though online casinos may not have any system in place to check the actual date of births of those who create accounts on their casino unless they conduct a KYC which is something that not all casinos take into consideration unless in the case of suspension or operating above stated limits and maximums.

This has made it clear to all on the need to have attained the minimum age requirement to create an account on any casino, because sometimes some of those who engage in this kind of thing,  also make the mistake of crying out tomorrow if they become unable to get their account verify when KYC may be demanded for,  due to this caught in between,  we have to make sure that we always come clean before we think of creating an account and meeting the minimum age requirement is to the gambler's advantage.

Sounds very interesting, but what will happen when bitcoin fees start to go super high again in next bull run?
Minute payout can turn into hour or days payout very easy on mainnet.

Thats out of my control. But you will have a transaction ID in a minute. We do have two withdrawal options, Slow and Fast. The fast fee is calculated by two block confirmations. So during those times of high fees, you'll just have to pay more and you'll get your money in 10-20 minutes.

Well, I think that's a really amazing feature which will work really well during network congestion times. With high fees the users will get priority withdrawals and soon they'll get their Bitcoin into their wallets. The network congestion isn't an internal issue of L0tt0 but still the high fees is a great option during such times for priority withdrawals. I believe that high-rollers might use that feature even if the network is stable as they want to receive their money as soon as possible.
I guess this is not too different from the manual transaction fees bursting when there be traffic congestion in some instance when the networks become highly congested to the point of not letting transaction with lower fees not to get confirmations and also possibly being able to keep in touch to accomplish the success status of that transactions,  so those made relying on high fees to get the transaction through becoming the only option left.

Well, having such a feature on a casino will really help a whole lot and in the long run, when we have such issues with the network, these casino players will have other options to operate with just a few fee increases.

Real Madrid great stars before Ronaldo has played El Classico and it has been a competition between these two clubs since. But what made Ronaldo and Messi period more interesting is that the two are both superstars at the same time and they are rivals to one another in clubs that are also rivals too. So it made it more interesting, and another thing is that, these two players have their own separate fans that prefer one to the other. These two players were also adding a lot of effort to make sure that their club is the best, and competition between themselves.

That is how great time can be if you have the right men on the teams,  what make football more interesting is the fact that the presence of strong contending team,  and that is why the extra time and the penalties are there to use to settle such incidence of two strong opponent,  when Reall Madrid hard the right players on board in the last couple of seasons back,  their games where up to touch and always strongly contending with a lot of winnings even though sometimes,  there are few records of loses also which is what football is all about.

El Classico is also a strong team who have done well previously and has also been able to set up a formidable team when they had the best hand on the ground a few seasons back,  both clubs have similar histories but let's see how their features will be.
2171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: October 15, 2023, 09:31:08 PM
Lotteries are indeed probabilistic in nature. There is ideally no guarantee and one of the biggest motivators is the evidence of one who has won and then the dream of winning sets in.

Often times people tend to dream beyond the point of seen evidence and imagined even more, this makes them damn whatever probability exists and face the possibility, when the equation is actually on the reverse.

We also cannot overemphasize the need for people to know that probabilistic systems involve a high degree of quantitative information and high degree of uncertainty.

Gambling on lottery or sports are all the same and we should consider them as both luck based and we even have a higher chance of football bets more than we have in the lottery due to the possibility to easily analyze football games than we do have in the lottery since with lottery what and all we have is just the number and our luck to win,  but football bets is not the same and some times we have and made accurate predictions based on our analysis of the team previous games.

Why some people still prefer the lottery winning to other gambling winning because of the possible total amount,  some lotteries can transform the ticket holders' lives overnight and the reason why many still go for the lottery such as the American Lottery and the rest.

2173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: October 15, 2023, 08:35:06 PM
My question is that how will you integrated the AI with the poker with an external gambling site that is not owned by you. The gambling sites will not let you use any API for the AI to play the poker and therefore I don't think that any gambler can take advantage of any AI in gambling.

Also the initial distribution of the cards in poker is done by the gambling site system and it cannot be controlled by any external AI that is in the benefit of the gamblers.
I may have missed some things regarding the steps of integrating the IA with the gambling algorithm because gambling will not allow the API to be connected to any system, as there could potentially be bugs that could be exploited and could be linked to the AI.

I don't know specifically about IA technology, all developments in AI technology are very sophisticated so many people assume that AI technology can enter the realm of gambling, but in fact, AI technology plays a role in helping all information and is not used for negative interests that are detrimental to gambling sites.
Exactly the more reason why we already commented that there be no need to continue this discussion now that we know the level of the impossibility of having such features integrated and operated on the casino at whatever point.

Casinos have their own algorithm and this has been the major contending factor that hhaslimited such development in the past and even present at some point.

All
Thank you again for your help on this

Daniel from BaB contacted me and we found a solution

So all is well

Thanks again for your kind assistance
Glad to see that this issue was resolved and you say all is well at this moment and this is a big relief to the Bustabit team for being able to help gamblers out even though is obvious that the mistake is from the gambler.

This is what differentiates between a scam casino and the reputable one through his professional they treat issues as regard with large funds withdrawals,  you can also lock this thread right now.
I doubt if OP will ever be back to lock this thread, he or she can only come back if he or she encounters another issue which will require the help of the community, unfortunately, this attitude is very common with newbie accounts whereas they only tend to remember this forum when they encounter an issue.

Anyways, the above is not so important after all, the most important is that the OPs problems have been solved, and thanks to the Bustabit team for reaching out to the op and providing a solution to his problem without putting him through any form of hassles, this is very commendable honestly, and also adds positively to the reputation of Bustabit.
Well I already did report the thread for moderators lock,  this is the only option if the old have abandoned this thread after having is issues resolved quite unfair to other forum members when newbies don't read the rule for the creation of a thread and what to do after your problems or questions have been resolved by locking the thread to point out to everyone that you do already received answers to you queries.

But then some just decide to use the forum the way it suits them,  I am sure the ops could have still been around if his issues had not been resolved,  and more also we have to look back at something we must pay details to while answering or commenting on this thread going forward.

Drake's net worth is $260 Million. He lost $0.85 million. Probably he can afford to lose it. Not all days are good for gamblers. There are days he also won.

But if I am Drake and have money like this, I can not spend on gambling like this.
Sometimes I believe that the bigger the asset the higher the level of risk you take both in gambling,  trading or any other aspect of life,  losing such an amount is not a big deal for a high roller like Drake,  he has won a lot of money for such risks,  we only hear of his loses,  but what about his winning days.

He has a lot of contracts going on for him right now,  so I am sure losing that amount is not a big deal for Drake at this point in time.

The house has that edge, almost like they've cracked the matrix to always win, right? A legitimate scam, but isnt that part of the gamblers' excitement and game? They enter the arena knowing the gladiators (casinos) have refined their swords and techniques. The house edge and VIP levelling are ridiculous, but they're part of gambling!

Self-restrictions are crucial yet often disregarded. Gamblers on this perilous journey require those protections! Could blockchain solve this? Imagine a decentralised gaming platform with transparent losses and gains and smart contract-protected limitations. Exploring tech to enforce self-restrictions while letting people enjoy the ride safely is a strange thought, but isnt it fun?
Yeah the casino is designed to take from the gambler by all means and that is what makes them remain in business,  and as long as the house edge remains,  the casino is always placed at an advantage against the gambler,  I won't call this scam because that is what makes it gambling compared to other risk ventures like trading where there is nothing like house edge which is why we can refer to trading as a less risky venue compared gambling.

This is also the reason why gamblers are advised not to take gambling as a means of earning a lively hood, but rather as for avenue to just have fun,  unlike the other aspect where one will want to struggle to level up to VIP rank on the casinos,  which requires a lot of wagering and huge balance spending.
2177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Drake's Curse. on: October 15, 2023, 04:44:08 PM
Feel for him though,  but then it's gambling and he shouldn't take it seriously to the point of betting with an amount he can't afford to let go,  Drake has been one of the lucky celebrities to have enjoyed some endorsement from casinos.

Drake can afford to let go as his part of support to the casino if he had placed the bet online his loss is the casino's win reason why there is no sure bet,  even though he had all the statical support for his straight winning but then gambling results are unpredictable.

Just checked Wikipedia about 1xbet and the truth is visible to everyone.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1xBet#:~:text=These%20are%20%22Sergey%20Karshkov%22%2C,case%2C%20with%20penalty%20of%20imprisonment.

The site was declared a scam a long time ago. It was also declared to be bankrupt earlier this year itself. It's still up and running somehow just like 1xbit. Also, the co-founder died way back in June itself. Trash Russian sites!
Really?

Because the link you shared only redirected to Wikipedia profiling of 1xbet and there is no mention of being declared a scam there and also 1xbit who are the primary actor in most scam accusations is not mentioned there and I wonder why it is so.
But I won't doubt if there are declared scams on the international web search engine which is something we always look forward to so long as they are proven scammers to avoid getting others sucked from the suck pupid act of scamming gamblers.
2179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play equal to deposited funds before you can withdraw on: October 15, 2023, 05:31:43 AM
Simply put this mean,  1x wager requirements,  and this is fair enough if you ask me because this is the standard procedure with most casino and some that may even go worse will go as far as asking for x5 wagering which at that point becomes a big challenge to gamblers,  because in trying to meet the wager requirements,  you may sometimes end up losing your already won amount.

So I don't see anything big or wrong is having to wager your entire deposits once before being able to withdraw them,  this is to avoid casinos being used as money laundering tools where people just deposits get the coins mixed and withdrawn without traces
2180  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake phishing on: October 14, 2023, 10:09:48 PM
I don’t know what’s really suspicious about it, some user is being targeted for phishing and that’s it. Now the point of wonder is who is at the end of all these phishing mails, whose the jacket here; is it stakes or some rogue officials within its ranks of any (which I don’t want to believe as stakes have proven to be fair and bigger than petty theft) or it’s the work of some out of the box hackers.
Suspicious is that the user has been accused and was online even last active today but the user has had no update on the topic for about months and the user has locked the topic without any update. Why anyone will lock the thread without any update?
You have a very good point here bud, sure the attitude of the user is suspicious.
And answering to what Smartvirus said, there is no way Stake them self will engage in such petty stuff, Like I believe I have said here before, if at all the claim of the user is true, then I personally stand on what i have said before on this thread, and that is that, its likely the handiwork of some rogues in the stake team engaging themselves in sending out such phishing emails to users they have seen to have a nice sum on their stake account.

How much is $10k to $20k us dollars compared to what Stake makes every day as profit, that they should engage in such things as trying to scam their users?.
The point is that,  we should choose between ignoring the ops or continued to present him with contending facts as it exempt stake from the phishing that he accused stake of,  this is very easy to achieve in our own end but I don't know how serious the ops is to stake up a bet with me.

That if he has any genuine problems and complains about stake, and if yes then he should approach the who.
