The paradox of a person's behavior when he gambles, I think, is that even knowing this person well, you can make a big mistake.  The reaction of this player to both losing and winning can be in a way that you could not even imagine.  Someone, because of losing even a small amount, can become depressed, while the other person, on the contrary, cheer up or just pretend to have fun.  By the way, it is at such moments that you can get to know this person much better, which is generally good for further communication with him. 
This is where I see the great benefit of such paradoxes.

Yes, if a person is duplicitous or hides something from you in a stressful situation he is more likely to show his true gut. Losing in a casino is a good situation to see what a person is capable of when he loses self-control. I have seen first-hand experience of a man becoming uncontrollable while losing and throwing his fists at the people who came with him to the casino. Such situations are a great demonstration of who can fail in a really difficult life situation.

Everyone can but there's only few gamblers that have actually did it because of mere luck, it's just they need to know and understand that it's not an easy path towards that way and there's a very high chance that you could lose a couple bucks first before you win big time as we always have experienced. But yes, I do a agree that we should have to know our line and when to stop even if it's too tempting already.
The stories of those successful bettors and high rollers, we'll never know how much they've lost along the way. It's great to see them win such amounts and rolls high.
True, they have to control themselves and decide how much they're willing to lose within a day. If it's small for them and big for us, that's not a matter and it's still their money to gamble.

We will never know how the player got these funds and we will never understand his goals, but I think this person was fully aware of the likelihood of losing these funds to the casino. I could easily spend in the casino some of the money I earn due to favorable circumstances on the crypto market. Perhaps this man, too, after a big deal, decided to relax and take a risk. We will never know for sure.

Awesome write up, though I found it difficult to understand some part, but still does not dispute the fact you passed a message @op.
Gambling has helped me earn a few buck in the past, even though it's not something I do consistently or constantly.
I think one of the cons is the fact that gambling is highly addictive, and online gambling with payment in bitcoin has opened the doors to under age gamblers, children or rather, teenagers who should really pay more attention to their studies easily turn to gambling as a means of earning some extra pocket money, and they easily get addicted this sometimes destroys their academic goals if they are not rescued on time.

I absolutely agree with you. This can be attributed to one of the disadvantages of online gambling, but if you look at it on the other hand online casinos allow people to play gambling that are not able to visit land-based casinos, for example disabled people who have great difficulty in moving around in a wheelchair. Parents can prevent teenagers from gambling, but it is unlikely that anyone will want to contribute to the organization of leisure activities for the disabled.

Видимо где-то выводы просто прикрыли, поэтому арбитражники и отдыхают. Я попытал удачу на споте (закупился на $1000 по $1.8, продал на $2.96), вышел в плюс $642. Немного конечно, но можно на эти средства других альтов прикупить.

Мне кажется что на таком рынке каждый думает только о своем портфеле, поэтому мы и не наблюдаем спасателей. Атаку на протокол конечно очень грамотно провернули, лично я не ожидал настолько сильного падения. Радует что не держал средств ни в LUNA ни в UST.

I think that all the pros and cons are identical with the case when we consider fiat versus cryptocurrencies. The only difference (although I may be missing something) is that there is Provable Fair in crypto gambling - this feature is unique to blockchain gambling and cannot be fully copied/replicated in fiat gambling.
One of the main things i do really able to see if we do really make out some comparison in between the two on which in crypto which you could really make yourself that somehow assured nor really get that confident

that you are dealing with a fair site or platform which is something that you could really get the feeling specially when you are dealing with fiat platform or casinos which is indeed right or precise on what you had
mentioned.

One of the pros or the reason on why this market or industry did really grow up fast is about on its payment system where you could play anonymously without any verifying yourself or something
which majority of people do really prefer.

You can also play anonymously in a regular offline casino - as far as I know, no one there asks to pass the KYC. If you wish, this is also possible in fiat online casinos, with small amounts, authorization is not strict and you can go through it with fictitious documents (however, I haven’t been to fiat casinos for a long time, so I can’t be sure that nothing has changed there).

Of course in fiat casinos no one will ask you to show your documents if your appearance indicates that you are of legal age to gamble, but nowadays the identity can be determined even by video cameras that can read your biometrics. I do not know how things are in other countries, but I read that in our country they collect biometric data of citizens even without our permission.
in your country, maybe offline casinos are legal and can be found at some points in the city center bro? that's interesting, and just like playgrounds and other public facilities, friends, show me your ticket to enter and have the right to have fun. in my country maybe not or the place is hidden. But the progress of the times wrapped in web browsing or a unique domain brings someone to the internet which may be served especially for casinos and other gambling.
it makes it easy for players to access and easy to play. As great as supervision is, there is still a gap to come or play



In my country gambling is only allowed in certain government zones, but in the past casinos were everywhere and I often spent my free time playing slots without presenting any documents. Of course if a person looks too young they may ask for documents to avoid possible trouble from the law, but I don't think that they will ask an adult person for documents.

Судя по сообщениям из различных телеграм чатов многие решаются принять на себя значительные риски закупаясь LUNA на этой щедрой распродаже. Ситуация очень интересная поэтому тоже слежу за всем происходящим и пытаюсь понять, какая вероятность того, что команда все таки найдет выход из этой ситуации.
2308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Horse Racing and Gambling on it should be banned on: May 11, 2022, 10:09:16 AM

You nailed it.
But many people do not care about it. They just want to have fun and money at the same time. I am not sure what goes on in the mind of horse owners. Do they really have soft heart? I doubt that.

Let alone horses, considering cock, spiders, and dogs, if they just want to make fun, they will make everyone fight just to make something to bet on. Maybe they cannot resist the old habits they have and don't care about the animals after all. When I saw the no-choice in the eyes of those animals, I translate them as cruelty and those people involved in this somehow don't have any hospitality towards those animals when they lose the game.

Romans used dogs, lions and tigers in their games and had a lot of fun watching either people slay these beasts or people being eaten. We crave blood and cruelty, that's why in many countries animal abuse still isn't punished. It's common especially in countries where animals are considered to be working machines that we're supposed to bend to our will and throw away, because god or whatever prophet said so. I'm against animal abuse of any kind, but there's a thin line between making a horse perform for the audience (jumping, parades) and racing. Should we ban all activities that involve animals, like dog agility contests and such?

As strange as it may sound, animals can die of natural causes. No one knows when or where it will happen, so consider that if an animal dies at a race, circus or any other place it does not mean that it died of cruelty.

I'm against cruelty, but you have to understand where the line is between cruelty to animals and quite natural. Personally, I think the Spanish carrida, cockfighting, dogfighting all fall under animal cruelty. But horse racing is an entirely different matter.

With online gambling nobody has to worry about this situation as they are already at home or playing privately without anyone watching their game and winnings. Thankfully it's much safer on this aspect.
Actually online gambling it's not really that safe like you think, perhaps you played with small amount and the casino is still trustworthy until now, but you don't know what happen in the future. It's really hard to believe a reputable and trustworthy casino right now will turn become scam casino, but there's a chance behind it. If you ever send KYC to the casino, your KYC could be sold and your personal information can be used by a scammer.

You can protect yourself from all of this by following some tips:
1. if you are worried about your privacy then play only in reputable casinos that do not require their users to pass the KYC
2. If you are afraid of losing money in case of closing a gambling platform, do not keep a large sum of money on your deposit and replenish your deposit before each game session.

What is the practical purpose of this? I can't understand what this would be useful for other than to amuse someone's vanity. In the gambling section, people write/read in certain topics and quickly understand whose analysis is interesting (after all, you can always look at the history of messages). I don't think this hall of fame will be really useful to anyone.

Well, why? Anyone who wants to amuse his ego can himself create a thread about his achievements and share there his story of winnings.

Many of us give some advice on the forum and I would be interested to know which of the forum users has a really advanced skills in a particular game of chance and such a theme would contribute to this.

вот и рынок увидил 29к, я сейгодня откупил много альтов. После такого падение обычно рынок дает отскок.

Или второе дно в подарок) Как показывает практика активы лучше всего покупать на серьезных просадках, что мы и наблюдаем в последнее время. Тоже закупаюсь немного, но стейблкоинов не так много как хотелось бы, т.к. выйти по хорошим ценам из альтов не успел. Странно, но это падение я переживаю не так эмоционально как прошлые, хоть и мой портфель в очень серьезных минусах.

Да, я тоже обращал на это не раз внимание. Индекс доллара снова подобрался к хаям и когда он начнет свое падение, а это обязательно случится, BTC начнет укреплять свои позиции. Можно посмотреть на историю индекса доллара и сравнить с движением цены BTC. Надеюсь что BTC уже нащупал дно и теперь постепенно пойдем вверх.

А мне кажется что как раз во время просадки крипто рынка такие проекты будут привлекать все больше пользователей.

Самый первый проект, использующий эту модель, о котором я услышал, был Genopets. Как говорят, STEPN подглядели их идею и быстро ее реализовали. Genopets до сих пор находится на стадии тестирования и вроде как выйдет в конце лета-осенью. Думаю, что их игра будет более продумана как в плане экономики, так и игрового опыта.

Токены их не покупал, но держу Genesis Genopets Habitats и слежу за проектом. Недавно сминтил беби-генопетса, но в тестовую версию пока не попал из-за ограничения количества тестеров.

This is one of the basic rules that I use when gambling. Immediately after any significant winnings I leave the casino. But according to my statistics, even this rule does not allow me to get rich by gambling. This approach allows you to spend money somewhere else and enjoy it rather than lose every last cent and leave the casino with nothing.
I agree with that but I don't just leave the casino and move to other gambling site but I withdraw it with no chance of playing those credits that I withdraw since my strategy before is if I win a significant amount I withdraw it and move to other gambling site which I lose at some point so I think this rule is good for not much of a gambler players.

So your goal was to try to beat the casino and I pursue a completely different goal - to develop self-discipline and test the strength of my risk management when playing gambling. Of course I've had mistakes when I've lost large sums of money, but lately I've managed to control myself very well.

It takes practice for some time to be able to stop immediately after benefiting from the games we play. But most people will try to double the amount of profit they have already made by playing longer but that does not guarantee they can win more profits.

Maybe it's okay if we play a round or two after getting a profit but don't increase your bet amount because it can make you lose. Being wise is very necessary when we play gambling to avoid big losses.

It is very important to learn to stop immediately after winning, because if you continue to gamble then in all likelihood you will lose everything. To make it easier to stop, use incentive practices such as spending the money you win on something you enjoy, but not on gambling. This will help you learn to control yourself and improve self-discipline.

When a rewards program is run by a well-known manager with a good reputation, it inspires trust among community members. Promotion in TikTok or Instagram is mostly done by people far from gambling who do not care not only about what they advertise but also about their reputation. Therefore, a rewards program with a manager is more preferable for a new casino.
2319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds on: May 08, 2022, 11:20:41 AM
I have heard many of these stories before.... people posting in gambling chat that they started with $5 and they pushed it to $150 and then losing that money within a few minutes. I think we are greedy and as soon as you won something big, you increase your bet size and you lose it quicker.  Roll Eyes

The old saying that says.... "The Only gambler that win, is the one that stops playing after a huge win" is so true. We win big.... and over time the casino just take back the winnings over time, because we do not stop playing.  Roll Eyes

This is one of the basic rules that I use when gambling. Immediately after any significant winnings I leave the casino. But according to my statistics, even this rule does not allow me to get rich by gambling. This approach allows you to spend money somewhere else and enjoy it rather than lose every last cent and leave the casino with nothing.

I did a little googling about horse racing and found this...

Quote
Horse racing is an ancient sport. Its origins date back to about 4500 BC among the nomadic tribesmen of Central Asia (who first domesticated the horse). Since then, horse racing has flourished as the sport of kings.

Even today, horse racing is still called the sport of kings. it's almost impossible to get banned on horse racing because the opponents are nobles who still love horse racing and make bets on it. Honestly, I really like watching horse racing and I don't really support this old sport being banned.

I have a neutral attitude towards horse racing because in my opinion it is a more humane entertainment than Spanish bullfighting, cockfighting or dog fighting. Horses don't suffer as much health damage as, for example, roosters, who are forced to take drugs and participate in bloody enough fights after which they either die or are crippled, or like bulls who die in the arena just to amuse people.
