Aside from considering the amount being loosed on each bet we made while gambling, there are gamblers who don't mind about the rate of amount being lost on gambling as long as they get their maximum satisfaction while gambling, which means not everyone gambles.
There may be very few gamblers to whom the loss does not mean much to them. They are the ones who are usually rich gamblers and losing money does not matter much to them. However, the majority of the gamblers are middle class and cannot afford to lose and when they lose they will feel regret and sorrow. I haven't seen a gambler in my life who loses money in gambling and his mood and emotions remain the same as it was before gambling. I wish i become one of those to whom losing money would not matter.  |

If you are sure your computer is 100% impenetrable to attacks and completely free from all malware 100% of the time, then you should probably present your findings to the CIA or something and be paid handsomely in return, since you'll be the first person ever to create a 100% secure system.
Well, i thought that since I did not download any extra software on my system, never click on unknown links, and had an updated anti-virus on my system, so it is hard to get any malware on my system. Also, i wondered why would any hacker try to intrude on my system, I do not store even a full Bitcoin. Also, another thing that made me confident of my system is that i haven't faced any such issues for the last few years, using Electrum as a hot wallet. Anyhow, reading all of the replies and none agreeing with my point of view, i have started to feel scared. I am testing out making a tail OS through USB and then using electrum through it. This can be a cost effective and better solution rather than making a computer or a mobile an air-gapped device. With tail OS, the Electrum wallet comes by default and there is no need to install any more softwares. Secondly, you can keep save that USB like you save a hardware wallet.
Since i do not have any extra system with me right now to meet this emergency, is the tails USB with the built-in electrum can be trusted? |

When you score only 164 runs in a one-day international match, it is very hard for the bowlers to defend this small score in 50 overs. The same happened with Bangladesh bowlers today. They managed to take two quick wickets at the start of the Srilankan innings but as the target was very low, the SriLankan team never came into any sort of pressure. It is a difficult task to defend a target like 164 runs even when you have the best bowling lineup but what was surprising was that the the bookies were still giving Sri Lanka decent odds, which confused me while placing a bet when they lost two wickets in quick succession, sometimes you get lucky getting good odds and Sri Lanka are cruising towards victory as they need just 44 runs from 22 overs. I didn't saw the odds at that time of the match but what odds were given by the bookies? If the odds were good, i hope you would have taken the odds in the favor of Srilanka and won some decent amounts  Well, we have seen two matches in this tournament till now and both of them were one sided. Will the next match between India and Pakistan be a thriller with a close finish? |

If you don't need to spend those other outputs now, then just wait. At some point in the coming weeks or months the fee will be likely to reduce somewhat.
I have been watching the mempool ( https://mempool.space/) often now, but found that instead of decreasing fee, it is always on the rise. Is there any particular time of the day, when the transaction fee is less ? and one can do the transactions at that time. Also, when more people are using bitcoin, then the mempool fee is high and less when few people are using the bitcoin network. Is it so ? |

There is absolutely no basic or advanced technique that can make you win in gambling, it's all based on luck and that is the only factor that matters when you are playing gambling games. You might use some techniques to improve your research and analysis abilities when you are betting on sports events which might increase your chances of winning but even after that, there is no guarantee that you will win a bet because luck will still have its influence.
The mindset that you can make guaranteed money from gambling is wrong because it is not a tool that you can use to earn money but it is something that you should use for entertainment and just trying your luck because if you think of it as a source of earning money, you will keep losing your money.
It does not matter how many times we warn those people they are not going to listen, in their minds making money with gambling is possible and nothing that we say to them is going to change their opinion, so the only thing that can convince them this is the case is to lose their money several times at the casino, and maybe even that would not be enough, as people like them could develop a gambling addiction and keep gambling just to try to recover the money they have lost. People who see gambling as a way to earn money are also those who could fall into gambling addiction. Because of the wrong mindset that they have, they might end up chasing their losses because of too much goals to reach their target profit. Because of this wrong mindset, the possibility of developing greed will always exist. We should have the proper mindset right from the beginning so we shouldn't fall into worse situations in the future. Gambling was made for entertainment purposes but if we expect consistent wins, we might only end up with regrets. It requires self-control, right mindset and discipline for us to have a successful gambling journey. If anyone is going to gamble with the mindset that he/she will become a millionaire in very less time then he should know that his dreams will be shattered very soon and he will realize the reality of gambling. Gambling was never made to make people quickly rich but most of the gamblers have this vision in mind. The successful gamblers are only those who know the risk involved in gambling and also who have the knowledge of how to manage the risk. With this, gambler will only lose money over a long period of time. |

No batsman could make a long partnership today except Bangladesh's only batsman Nazmul Hasan Shanto. If any batsman of Bangladesh could have made a big partnership with Nazmul Hasan Shanto then maybe Bangladesh's run could have been more than 250 runs. For now, Bangladesh has lost six important wickets out of 161 runs. Do you think Bangladesh's run can be 250?
Nazmul Hasan, the most dependable batsman of Bangladesh, got out quietly with a personal 89 runs. I don't think that Bangladesh will be able to score 200 runs in today's match. Sorry to say BD all-out only for 164... When you score only 164 runs in a one-day international match, it is very hard for the bowlers to defend this small score in 50 overs. The same happened with Bangladesh bowlers today. They managed to take two quick wickets at the start of the Srilankan innings but as the target was very low, the SriLankan team never came into any sort of pressure. Now they only need 60 runs and more than half the overs (25) are still left in the match. They have seven wickets in hand which means that they should easily win this match. |

I think you do not get my point of view, I just want to know that in an IDEAL WORLD, the Electrum wallet on the computer with an internet connection is safe if there is no Malwares, no hacker's attempt etc We use Cold Storage only to avoid any possible risk that comes through the Internet, Right? There is no other reason. 1- If we connect the Internet to that machine once or sometimes (to update the Electrum wallet) , will it not remain a cold storage? Technically No. But still possible, Yes? 2- If we are sure that there is no malware or something in the computer, what difference does it make to connect that cold storage computer sometimes to the internet to make transactions?
As per my understanding, we do not connect cold storage to the internet because we fear that any malware may get our electrum seeds etc. Is is right ? There is no other reason. Connecting to Internet, does not mean that the Internet will know the private key or leaks your private key. The actual purpose of creating the cold storage for crypto wallet is to mitigate any potential vulnerabilities so in case if you want to take the risk that you can be sure the device is entirely malware free then it's your choice. Look here, you said "potential vulnerabilities". if we are sure that there are no vulnerabilities in the system, then we can connect to the internet. 3- If we install electrum on computer (which is malware free and connected to the internet), make a new wallet, keep a note of the seeds and then uninstall electrum from that computer and also remove the wallet files, isn't it secure too?
Uninstalling and deleting doesn't necessarily mean files are gone permanently because we know it is possible to retrieve data back even from the formatted hard drives. Again, assuming the computer never gets stolen, uninstalling the electrum keeps the coin safe even if some malware later comes in that computer and we never re-install the electrum in that computer without formatting it first. |

Note: These allegations remain unverified at this time, pending further investigation.
Don't you realize that you just sound stupid here? If you have no proof or evidence about the said unethical practices, then shut the hell up and don't waste our time. I didn't know people can be this cocky. Most probably OP wants to wins the gambling sites contests and in case he loses, he will put the blame to the gambling sites being rigged. Maybe he forget that there are other people participating in the contest for a win too and we should not find the excuses for the loses. Just accept them especially in the gambling world. One can argue that casino have their players who win the wagering contests etc but without a proof, its not a thing to be discussed. |

When we talk about cold wallet, we mean that the wallet is stored on a machine/phone, which has no access to the internet. Even if you install Electrum wallet on machine which has no internet access, it is the Electrum cold storage. The same goes for the Airgapped devices. Here I have few questions. 1- If we connect the Internet to that machine once or sometimes (to update the Electrum wallet) , will it not remain a cold storage? 2- If we are sure that there is no malware or something in the computer, what difference does it make to connect that cold storage computer sometimes to the internet to make transactions? As per my understanding, we do not connect cold storage to the internet because we fear that any malware may get our electrum seeds etc. Is is right ? There is no other reason. Connecting to Internet, does not mean that the Internet will know the private key or leaks your private key. 3- If we install electrum on computer (which is malware free and connected to the internet), make a new wallet, keep a note of the seeds and then uninstall electrum from that computer and also remove the wallet files, isn't it secure too? |

One hell of an innings by Iftikhar Ahmed who scored his maiden international century and as usual their most consistent player Babar Azam played the captains innings and a partnership of 214 runs which was incredible for the 5th wicket and helped in taking the team to an impossible target for a team like Nepal. Nepal is struggling to get past 100 runs as they already lost their 6th wicket and it is going to be a huge win for Pakistan.
Well, Pakistan started this match nervously but they ended up with a very strong win by a big margin. Baber Azam 151 runs was a mature innings while Iftikhar Ahmed runs showed the Pakistan's batting depth. This may be an eye opener for other teams in the tournament and they can't take the home team lightly. But most of the matches will be played in Srilanka (except 4) and hence the home ground will be of Srilanka and we will see how the players will bat there on that pitch. |

Surprises were common with Tennis matches and now I see it with the match between Huesler and Hurkacz. In the previous Cincinnati Masters Hurkacz played the semifinal match against Alcaraz and gave tight competence losing with a tie breaker win from Alcaraz in the second set. Today he had lost the first two sets 6-4 7-5 against Huesler, and now the third set is being played 5-5 which could move to the tie breaker.
Matches with a 3-set system often provide an opportunity for players who are already two sets behind to change their situation, and Hurkacz managed to turn this situation into a match he won, and the fifth set was relatively easier for him because his opponent was only able to get 1 game. What was no less surprising was how Borna Coric failed to beat Baez after he had also lost to the same player in the previous tournament, Baez didn't take long to beat Coric, especially in the third set where his opponent seemed to have lost the power to change things. Alcaraz was able to save his energy for the next match because in the first round, his opponent walkover from the match due to injury in the second set. It is rare to see someone who is two sets behind come back and win the match. This was one of the interesting US open first round match where Huesler having won the first two sets lost the next three consecutive sets and hence lost the match to Hubert Hurkacz. What a good comeback from someone who is at rank 17th. Now he (Hurkacz) will play Jack Draper in the next round.  |

Surprise to see Multan stadium is empty for limited overs cricket. I was expecting a packed house in the opening match and Pakistan is hosting only 4 games.
I get it, Nepal is a weaker opponent but Multan has one of the cricket hungry crowds in the subcontinent. Hope stands to get filled as the match progresses. At least there is some support for Nepal.
The way Nepal started the game, they did not look like a weaker side. Pakistan were 25 for 2 wickets down and Nepal had the upper hand in the match. If Pakistan had faced any other opponent but would have been in deep trouble by now but since Nepal is the weakest team in this Asia Cup, Pakistan recovered well and now are 82 for 2. Yeah, maybe the crowd wanted to see the India / Pakistan games in their country and as a result, they are disappointed to know only four matches are being hosted by them. |

They have been banning casinos and gambling sites in their country for as long as I can remember. Took them a long time to also crack down on the advertisers of casinos, it should have been done a long time ago.
But this crackdown is just in their country so I don't see this going to affect crypto casino's revenue nor players. Those Chinese gamblers who are already playing in Bitcoin casinos know well enough to avoid getting caught.
So if Chinese gamblers continue to gamble on online platforms (using VPN or whatever methods) and if the casino operator in China also continues their business the direct effect of these restrictions only be on the gambling steamers  I guess the main purpose of this ban was to stop people from gambling, as when people will not see gambling streams they may not be tempted to gamble, but here it seems that the Chinese government is targeting the wrong audience and only the gamblers streamers are going to suffer and they are being at the edge of starving and getting hanged.  |

This happened in 2022 and although I do not know the outcome of the court case, my thoughts are that the discussion about casinos should go beyond security measures to cover how prepared they are in the event of a health emergency . I think that well-equipped First Aid Kit and trained paramedical staff could significantly contribute to ensuring the safety and well-being of casino patrons. Although casinos are primarily places where people go for entertainment and profit, the operators should put in place health emergency measures could potentially mitigate the impact of unforeseen events. On the other hand, I would argue that the family of the deceased is trying to obtain money from the casino. Do you think the casino is to be blamed?
This is really a sad incident.  I do not know who is right or wrong in this incident but the people who can't control their emotions and who feel a lot of tension about losing on gambling or being treated in a wrong way, they should not play gambling. Gambling is made for those who have big hearts and strong minds and who are able to absorb the pressure of the game, the pressure of a loss. Gambling is not designed for weak-hearted persons. I have seen people faint upon having lost in the casino but this story of a deceased person is a new one for me. |

Disappointment and surprises are the part of the game. And in the cricket game we mostly saw these kind of things. But today's match is showing the total favor of Pakistan. But Nepal will also try to show its power but we can't expect more. Because Pakistani team has a good Squad which already been shown its power against Afghanistan. By the way fully excited to watch the first Asia Cup match. At least Nepal should be happy that they are getting a chance to play against two of the top ODI teams. Asia Cup remains the only continental cup in cricket. None of the other continents have anything similar. I would have liked the ACC to add two more teams to the tournament. But then that would mean useless matches involving mercenary teams such as the United Arab Emirates and Oman, who doesn't have a single national playing for them. At least in case of Nepal, all of their players are citizens of that country. The reason why we only have Asia cup and not other continental cups because there are not many major teams in other continents. If we have European cup then only England will win always as there is no 2nd team of same level. The Australian Cup will be only between NZ and Australia and we cannot call it a continental series. However, in Asia, we have India and Pakistan, the two strongest teams but at the same time we have Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Srilanka which are also competitive teams.  |

Now OP claims the casino wasn't trying to help him maintain addiction.
I'd call the complaint is baseless and OP will not get any support from the community and the casino.
The only thing this conversation proves is that Cloudbet's support is active and reacting to customer's requests.
Other than claiming this baseless wish, he also wants some refunds. My goal is to have the deposits made after my account be reopened, refunded.
He did not mentioned whether he played after the account was reopened ? Edit: Wait, is a casino supposed to close an account with funds in it without first asking the user of the accounts to withdraw his funds?
This is a bit confusing though, and funny at the same time, funny in the sense that when he had no money in his account, he requested that the account be permanently closed, but cloudbet partially closed the account, op later on his own requested that the account be reopened hoping it can't be reopened since it was permanently closed, but cloudbet will open the account, op then went ahead to deposit money into the account, then contacted customer care to question why they will reopened the account when he asked that it be permanently closed, now cloudbet decided to permanently close the account as op requested, but this time with funds in the account, isn't this funny ? 🤣🤣..
Someone please explain to my understanding just in case I made a mistake, or fail to get something correctly .
But why OP deposited again ? It is purely wrong on the OP part as he is addicted to gambling and he does not know what exactly he is doing. Remember account was reopened by the OP will and money was deposited by the OP himself. No one forced him. |

Alright people. It's Asia Cup time. It's good to see several new teams in this edition who could actually compete with the top dogs. As usual, India + Lanka + Pak are the strongest, but I hope that there are some unexpected twists.
Am expecting Sri Lanka to win this edition which is an extremely early prediction. Whoever wins will have a great advantage in the upcoming WC.
In my view, the possibility is very low for Sri Lanka to win the Asia cup again in this year. Both Pakistan and India are strong, and I'm expecting one of them to win the Asia cup. Nepal is the only new team in this Asia cup. Hong Kong was the new team in the 2022. They were in the same group of India and Pakistan, and the new team Nepal has replaced them. I believe Nepal will loss the both matches with big margin. It is foolish to make predictions before the game starts. It is true that Nepal is a bit weaker than all the other teams. But it would not be right to consider Nepal as such an insignificant team. You may have noticed the matches of Nepal team, Nepal plays much better now than before. So without watching this year's Asia Cup game. It is not possible to say by how much margin Nepal team will win or lose. Now when the Asia Cup starts, it will be understood how well any team can play Pakistan and India are two of the top ODI teams in ODI cricket whereas Nepal is one of the bottom ODI cricket team so the difference will be that everyone is expecting Nepal to go out of the tournament without winning a match. If it was a T20 tournament then Nepal had some chance to win but since it is played in ODI format it is very difficult for Nepal to win against India or Pakistan. It is very difficult but impossible for Nepal to win against India and Pakistan, but if Nepal performs well and if India or Pakistan do not play at their best, then Nepal will definitely have a chance to win any of the Asia Cup matches. Even if Nepal can't win a match, Nepal fans will be happy with Nepal's performance because Nepal has performed well recently and they have been doing great in cricket recently. The first match of the Asia cup between Pakistan and Nepal and I do not see any upset being happening at the start of the series. Pakistan should easily won this match and we can bet on it. I just checked the stake to see the odds for this match and was disappointed to see the odds of 1.01 for the Pakistan win. It is not worth taking the risk. Also, do not take the risk on Nepal's 12.50 odds either. Nepal will not be able to win this one.  |

This can be compared to money in the stock market or the cryptocurrency market, when stocks, or rather altcoins, flew up and you earned a lot of money. So with such a profit, you must definitely take a large part for your life and spend it. It is to spend, because if you don't, then the money that you withdrawn, you can make a deposit again.
-
I honestly do not get what you were trying to say with this one. I cannot understand how does gambling (specifically lottery)is related or comparable to stock and crypto markets. I mean, yes, they both involve risks, however, I really cannot think of each characters that are alike. Perhaps he is comparing money in the stock market or the crypto market where when we get profit, the profit can be like when we win in the lottery. But that's clearly different because when we play the lottery, there is money that is lost because we can't win, and we have to accept it even though there are still many people who will buy lottery tickets. It's because they still have the hope of winning one day. Meanwhile, in the crypto market, they can get their profit back if they keep holding the coin while waiting for the market to reverse so that the coin's price will increase again. But there is something in common between the two: if we cannot manage the winning money from gambling or profits from trading in the crypto market, we cannot change our lives for the better. We will use the money for things we don't really need. Well, people who win big money unexpectedly, they usually become greedy and will try to invest in other things like trading or perhaps going more gambling and may lose all the money. The best thing is to keep the money saved for some time and not further risk it. Yes, you can fulfil your desires, and spend on eating, and outing but do not invest in risky markets. Better they should get some information from their close family and friends and then make wise decisions. Remember it does not take long to lose all the lottery money if we make the wrong decision and re-invest our money in the wrong places.  |

Maybe those who rarely gamble can have a strong desire to stop gambling, especially after they know what impact they get from gambling. But usually, the impact of this gambling will make them return to gambling even though they want to stop it. It is a dilemma that each person must be able to resolve.
The fact is that in life there are different situations with people who are able to change people very much internally. For example, tragedies, or mistakes that those are no longer able to fix. And such deplorable internal states will stop pushing people to not quite deliberate actions or to a rash lifestyle. And if such a person visits the casino, but will play regardless of the chances or the concept of money management. It is especially difficult for such people to give up the uncontrollable desire to play. Because the root cause lies in themselves, in the events of the past. And gambling is a kind of answer to any problem, because they can bring a lot of money. And money is needed by any person in any condition. Exactly the way it can bring alot money that's the same it can also collect alot of money from you. If such person enter into gambling I aslo agree that the ability for him to stop will be very hard and he might be insink to such habit making his current situation even worst than before. It's actually kinda hard trying to stop this habit especially those of us that lack control and discipline because it's just as similar with same as taking illicit drugs for self pleasure once it's sinked can't stop. Again, quitting gambling is not impossible at all but it requires only one thing, that is the individual will to stop gambling. Unless you have a will to stop from your inner self, you will not be able to achieve it. No other person can make you leave gambling. Now the question is whether it is easy or difficult for the gambler to quit gambling. If the person has control over himself, then he would be able to do so. But the problem is that gamblers do not have control over their mind, so that's why they are gambling addicts. So this gives us the conclusion that it is indeed hard to quit gambling. |

I suffer from Gambling addiction and I requested my Cloudbet account to be Permanently Closed.
It was closed indeed but two days later, due to my addiction I requested to have my account reopened, and it was reopened immediatly.
.....
My goal is to have the deposits made after my account be reopened, refunded.
I am a bit confused on reading your whole story. At one point of time you asked them to close the account and then you requested them to reopen and they reopened it. So is there any issue with it ? Now what do you want ? The deposit which you made after the reopening of account to be refunded ? Did you play at the casino after reopening and lost the amount/bets ? Or you did not play and the deposit are still there in your account ? |
