Thank you! This is an interesting information. Of course, I heard about something like that before, but the way it's explained in the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is amazing, and it's definitely worth watching. The "middlemen of surveillance capitalism". F***ing hilarious! And a bit scary, I must say.

I think it's obvious that she didn't win $43 million, and so the title of the article is clickbait. The maximum allowed to win on the slot machine she played is $6,500, so, it was a malfunction, and no one actually scammed the women.

However, the fact that she was offered only a steak dinner after having all that emotional distress shows how shitty that Resorts World Casino in Jamaica is. I would not recommend to step inside such places even once.

OR, if you are loaded with everything you need, be ready for the pirates to visit you. And not the romanticized clowns you can see in movies, but the real ones, dirty scumbags pissed off at the world because they are losers. They won't be smoking a pipe and drinking rum with you ... They will turn that "unknown and inhabited island" into hell.

Again, if there's a global war, you can't hide anywhere.

Indeed, the lack of the right information is one of the main obstacles here. There are so many people connected to the internet these days that if we could know where we can apply our work and knowledge, who needs it right now, we would never be jobless. At the moment it's not that easy to find the right info, but, I'm sure, in the nearest future there will be apps for that that really work.

Actually, I don't understand how are those things different? To me gambling for fun and gambling for entertainment is absolutely the same thing, and it differs only from gambling for profit.

I think in the old days most gamblers were aiming for a profit. When they were throwing that six-sided dice 5 thousand years ago, they weren't thinking like, "the probability of each outcome is the same". Rather, they were hoping that gods will be on their side and they will win. There are still such people, but they are the minority among gamblers today, I'm sure.

I hope our requests for this counter will not be buried under other comments, and @wetsuit, @TheQuin or @freebitco.in PR will reply on whether it's possible to install it. I think such a counter would increase wagering on the site, because many of those that are mainly there for the faucet would try to wager 500,000 satoshi to have at least one Golden Ticket.

Well, that can be enough, actually. Being not big figures in politics we cannot affect the unfolding of events on a high level. It will go its own way, regardless of whether we are pessimistic or optimistic about it.

Thinking of yourself and your circle is more realistic, and can be more productive for you in the end, than contemplating about the world's problems.

No, you are absolutely right, it goes without saying that practice is very important. What I meant was that you don't necessarily need to play with the best of the best to learn from them, you can watch how they play on YouTube. But, of course, as in any other field, theoretical knowledge is nothing without practice.

I personally think that playing in free-to-enter tournaments is bad for your knowledge of the game, but starting from a $1 buy-in you can get a good initial practice, and then move to a $10 buy-in, which is actually better.

I don't know how they do it technically, probably buying some stable coins right away, or something, but that's how it is. Your USD balance on Duelbits is always the same, regardless of the rate. It's good for you if you make a deposit when BTC is on its peak, and not that good if BTC starts rising right after you made a deposit, but if its not significant amount, it doesn't really matter.

Please do it. Maybe you will find a way to circumvent this restriction



but I personally can't imagine how to do it. I think for sports betting you need the latest information about many things that can contribute to the outcome, and if the AI doesn't have access to this information, it can't make the prediction.

NOT go the Full Distance 7  

In this particular case it was totally worth it. At first I lost around $10 before hitting that 159x and winning $31.80. I knew with my 159x I won't make it to the top 25, and I was right



see, you needed at least 506x to win $25. But since my account is Level two verified, I'm getting 100% extra on the basic reward, so it was $4 instead of just $2



So in the end I was $25 in profit from participating in this challenge.  What can I say? I'm happy. Thank you, Stake!

Actually it's still a question to me whether Video poker is absolutely the same as slots, where you can't affect the outcome in any way. Like, for example, if you were always ignoring a good hand, like a full house or four of a kind, or even better, that were given to you, and were holding nothing, but were exchanging all the cards all the time, would the result after, say, 50 games, be the same as if you were holding the "good" cards? I read that skillful poker players have significantly higher odds of winning, but I'm not sure if that is the case in reality.

As for SWC, I support you. Currently it's one of the best sites to play crypto poker, from my experience.

Not only new gamblers, but also those playing for years on the platforms they trust and love, they will surely try out a relatively new platform about which people around are talking positively. They will not switch to that platform even if they find it very attractive, but they can add it to the list of their favourites, and will be visiting the site from time to time.

Thank you, @wiss19! I too wish you profits and fun.

After all, that's all we need from gambling, profits and fun, right? It's always small profits for me because I'm making very small bets. But then, for the very same reason, my losses can't ruin my fun.


Do it, mate! I sincerely wish you to win a good multi bet because for me, as I'm sure for many others in this thread, it's a pleasure to see good wins, ours or others' doesn't matter.

Being in your place, I would hope for that too. I would also hope for them to stay rich as they are today so that they could afford to wager such big amounts.


But you do need an audience. A big one, and also with many rich gamblers in it. The thing is that, if you are not an influencer, people will just ignore your posts. They won't be reading them, let alone registering via your links. That's what I think, but maybe there are places I don't know about, where everything is different?

Gambling is risky, but playing(and especially depositing your money) on a random platform is not "risky", it's stupid. Everything is arranged in such a way that if you can find no reviews about an online casino, it's almost guaranteed they will scam you. It's like playing a lottery, only there's no jackpot as we know it. The jackpot in that case is the site turned out to be honest. I don't know why anyone should play this game.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean!

I just placed a bet after reading your post



for this very reason. Regardless of whether I'll win or not, I like seeing those numbers, my potential win. I think my all time record odds were around 10k. I lost that bet with 10k odds, and since then I'm making more realistic ones, but I think once in half a year it's cool to make such bets, so I'll keep making them, with that frequency.


Exactly. A five-leg multibet is incomparably more exciting than 5 separate single bets. And if you try to bet with minimum amount, like I do, it's 5 times cheaper too.
