They are entertaining at the beginning but soon they become your worst nightmare and I never recommend anyone to play slots,in poker and sport betting you have somewhat much more control while in slot machines you just hit a spin button throwing yourself into total randomness which is programmed to make you lose money in the long run.

I wouldn't go so far to say that no one should play slots. Slots should be forbidden for minors, that's for sure. But for adults it's a good thing in many ways. I myself still play slots, but not more than 30-40 minutes per day, and not every day, of course.

That's a little harsh not to recommend playing slots; I believe he had gambling issues. To begin with, you already know that there is a 60% chance that you will lose your money and a 40% chance that you will profit when you gamble. We gamble to have fun; we occasionally win but frequently lose; we play for the happiness it brings us. Slots have been in the gambling world since then, and while it is already programmed to have a slight chance of winning, if luck strikes you, it has the possibility that you can win big. Until now, a lot of people have played slots, and others have tried to have a strategy to win them.

I don't know, Why those chances, mate? Smiley If you simply mean, we are more likely to lose, I agree with you, but if we are talking about some real percentages of winning/losing when playing slots, it is more like 52% to 48%, not 60% to 40%, imo.

As for your saying "we play for the happiness it brings us", I totally agree with you. There are not that many things from which you can get that "happy hormone" so easily. Only this dopamine mining have to be approached wisely. You should not lose a lot of your money on it, lest you regret the whole thing later.

If you truly believe that he is doing all he is doing just to make this world a better place, then I am very sorry for you. First of all, a "better" place according to who? Maybe some people will like it, and some people will hate it, how are you deciding who it is better for?~

"What is better?" is not some kind of philosophical question here. Having at least some basic food is better than not having it at all. Having water and electricity is better than not having it. These kind of things.


Secondly, is Elon the one who will decide what is better or not? Lastly, I understand EV, tesla is great for the world, but how about twitter, how could that make our world any better?

Twitter in its current state is hardly making our world better, but that's why Musk has acquired Twitter - to change it for better. He paid  $44 billion of his own money for this opportunity. Who else could do that? But someone should. Twitter was really in a bad shape.

Betting in a crazy pattern doesn't really scream smart to me to be fair, but that is what gamblers like to do. We have also seen people who wagered 1-10 dollars on like 10-15 games total, and win like tens of thousands of dollars. The highest I saw was a guy wagering 5 bucks on a 15 bet slip, with some good chunk of underdogs too, 2-3 games with 3.00+ odds, and they got 5000+ back, does that sound smart to you?

I am sure there are thousands of losses like that for each win, but that doesn't mean that everyone loses, at least one of them won and we saw it, so even though it is not "smart" perse, it is also very profitable for those people.

Yep, it's profitable if you are making bets with 1,000.00 odds many times, like 100 or 200 times, without winning anything, but one day you win 1,000x of your bet(not after 1,000+ bets, of course, but earlier). I've never won something like 1,000x so far, but I'm trying. My personal record is something around 100x, and once I was very close to winning 200x, but cashed out 42x of my bet only to see later that I could win 200x.

2327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch To Ban Gambling Streaming By October 18th. on: December 12, 2022, 01:09:17 PM
This was a tricky move because gambling streams weren't really banned at all as you can see in the next link:

https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Slots

People keep streaming slots, and the question here is, Then what does really change?

People can't promote casinos or use their affiliate links, and that was the main reason why the main gambling streamers decide to quit twitch.

So you are telling a completely different point of view of this ban. Initially, I thought that gambling streamers were banned from Twitch but as you said that Twitch only stops the usage of affiliate links and streamers themselves quit the streams because they don't find it useful to live stream gambling without mentioning their affiliate links.

Is this the real reason and it also means that for those streamers who do not want to go live on twitch, it's their personal decision and twitch never banned them?

Well, if affiliate links is the only concern here, the streamers can share their telegram handle and on telegram they may share their affiliate links ? I mean there are a lot of indirect ways to capture and direct the audience to the affiliate links so why quit streaming?

If it's only about the affiliate links, then indeed you can just stop showing them and keep streaming. And maybe they did just that, because this guy is steaming slots right now



and not only him, I'm sure. So, after all, streaming gambling wasn't banned on twitch, as we can see. Or maybe I'm wrong and he's streaming against the twitch current rules?

~ There is still a free trial to see if the op is really good at it. I think the op isn't selling a kind of e-book or pdf but he clearly mentioned that he was a coach so I expect that the lesson that we will be getting are delivered in real time. This is a proof that no stealing is involved in here.

I personally don't think OP was aimed at stealing someone's money, but spending your time on some useless courses is what we don't need too, right? Then, also, the following can happen: you learn a technique, you win with it, and thinking it's working you pay for the courses, while in fact you were winning just because of luck, and the technique you've learned simply works like any other, it works until it doesn't.

~When it comes to bonuses and promotions then expect that house would be always at advantage.
They cant just be offering on something that will really be costing them money but rather they would be finding ways on luring in players to make money.

The advantage of the house is over all the players on the site combined. All those players will certainly lose from 1% to 10% of their money to the house. But 90%+(and usually it's more than 95%) will be returned to players in the form of wins and bonuses, and it is absolutely not necessary that everyone who's winning or getting bonuses will eventually lose it to the house.

~ But usually, if we are at an event from a casino, the casino will give a bonus with a deposit amount that is not too big to attract ordinary gamblers and it's a good time to try it.
Nope , I never do that in new casino mate , What i wanna try is their probability and fairness instead of getting the Bonus  because what is the bonus but in the end you'll get scammed or cheat by the site?
let us not be lured by those promises mate instead learn about the site before going bigger.

You are right, fairness is what counts the most, not the bonuses, if we are talking about a newly appeared gambling site. If it's a well known site, however, we already know it's fair, and then bonuses is what worth looking at.

As for the probability, I think you mean odds in sports betting, and what I personally have noticed is that odds can be good on one site for one game, and on another site for another. You will never find a site where odds for all games are better than anywhere.

~ Maybe in religion, it is not explained clearly that gambling is prohibited. But actually, people already know that they should not do that.

Jesus Christ never said anything bad about gambling, and Judaism, like Christianity, doesn't oppose games of chance. So, gambling is not a sin, but greed is. "Don't be greedy", that's what religious people say. But it sounds familiar, innit? I keep encountering these very words on various gambling forums, including this one. Gamble for the sake of entertainment, nor for the purpose of profit. And entertainment is nowhere forbidden, neither in Bible nor in Quran.

So, as I promised earlier, here's my experiment on what would left of 5 mBTC after wagering it 10 times. For that I took one of my favourite slots, a slot that holds my personal record, , Bitcasino Billion.



Balance: 1,000.00 FUN

Let's imagine it's our 5 mBTC

Let's try to wager it 10 times

Experiment #1 - Highest bets possible: 200.00 FUN(1 mBTC)

It was gone after just 7 spins

Experiment #2 - 100.00 FUN(0.5 mBTC)

Gone after 12 spins

Experiment #3 - 50.00 FUN(0.25 mBTC)

Result after 40 spins(equivalent to 2x wagering):



Gone after another 8 spins.

Experiment #4 - 10.00 FUN(0.05 mBTC)

Result after 100 spins(equivalent to 1x wagering):



Result after 200 spins(equivalent to 2x wagering):



^^It's almost 5 times of my initial balance!

Result after 500 spins(equivalent to 5x wagering):



Result after 1,000 spins(equivalent to 10x wagering):



Do not draw any conclusions from the above, guys, because it wasn't a scientific experiment. But the funny part is that I was kinda expecting the results I obtained: the lower your single bet, the higher the probability of hitting something good within the same amount of money spent on spinning the reels. It's just my theory, and absolutely coincidentally it was "proved" with my little experiment. Smiley

Semi finals - Brazil vs Argentina & France vs Portugal

Brazil vs France in the final


Before the World Cup has started here's what was my prediction for the final:



Now, I was extremely wrong about Germany, but I still think England can win the World Cup.

I'm going to say:

Semi finals - Brazil vs Argentina & England vs Portugal

Argentina vs England in the final.

~ Well, I can see you point. If for someone it is more entertaining to treat gambling like business, let it be so. Indeed, free people can choose to entertain themselves however they want, unless other people don't suffer from it. Only if we start treating gambling like business, especially when playing purely luck-based games, we may possibly lose so much money that our close ones can be affected. And that's what I'm warning against.

But the topic is about finding those casinos that are "really most rewarding", not about whether we should treat gambling more for entertainment, or more "like a business". Plus I don't agree that because a user is trying to look for better casino rewards, he is simply treating gambling like a business. No, a user SHOULD always look for better rewards for losing all his money in the casinos. If the reward is not that good, why lose money there? Lose it where he/she will be rewarded better. Cool

If by "reward" you mean dopamine release in the brain, I totally agree with you, but if the reward is money, no. I insist that seeking for a "most rewarding Crypto Casino" is dangerous. Because you can "find" one and win a lot of money during your first several days of playing there, and it can be the beginning of disaster for you, if you don't know that gambling should never be treated like a way of making money.

I thought all forms of gambling are prohibited in the Muslim religion? In any way... I have watched some Cock fighting in real life, not in a gambling setting.. but on a farm and it is not something that I would bet on.  Roll Eyes

The Cock fighting sport remains legal in Puerto Rico and in such countries as the Philippines and the Dominican Republic, where cockfighting clubs operate around the country.

The Animal Anti-Cruelty organizations will object to any kind of gambling that are done, where animals are harmed or killed for Sports betting. There are more than enough Sport to gamble on, without having to harm animals ....so let's keep it that way.  Wink

And I'm sure it's going to be that way in those places we are making our bets, and not only because the Animal Anti-Cruelty organizations involvement. I believe, many gamblers might leave the site that started allowing bets where animals can be harmed or even killed. So, morals aside,  it wouldn't be the best decision, business-wise, to start accepting such bets.

I believe that as time goes on, proof of reservations will be imposed by default for anyone opening a casino, just as KYC regulations will become stricter and stricter.

Here on the forum we have a recent case of someone who a rubbish casino let him win money he couldn't afford to pay.

I won $128,000 and it's been a week waiting for game provider verification ~

I think the thing is that in places where regulators are not corrupted they wouldn't allow a casino to open without proof of funds. I mean, even today. But in places where there's no order, where everything is done through bribes, in those places, even if there were a law about proof of reservations, inspectors would turn a blind eye on the absence of those funds after receiving a bribe.
2340  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Games' RTP, variable?? on: December 08, 2022, 07:12:24 AM
I a maner of 50/50 probability 13(and more) same result in a row can happen quite frequently ..  
But I think in the case of an inspection what they should do is inspecting your game/coin if it is all regular and searching for eventual shitting elements..

If they decide to just make some number of tosses what guarantees if you not just disabled the rigging system for the time of the inspection! ~

This is really interesting. Is it possible? Do you think it's possible to disable some rigging system for the time of the inspection, and then turn it on again? I mean, of course, it's possible, but I personally think that in reality inspectors are perfectly aware of such possibility, and there are measures in place for preventing it from happening.

I think that is depending on the licensing jurisdiction..
and I think that the thing is controlled like an administration/bureau is controlled.. I think that what is it.. or maybe authorities could ask providers/casinos to keep unalterable(like be backed online) registers/archives of all the operations made, and then the RNG should be encrypted by the licensing authority itself to put a signature certifying its use on the registers.

Most likely it is. Btw, do you happen to know, where we can read the requirements regarding slot games' RTP in any jurisdiction. Actually, it's so hard to find things like this, I would happily read any related information.


About the RTP,  Stake ordered/is running an enhanced RTP version of sweet bonanza (98%)  Grin

That's a pretty big enhancing! Sweet Bonanza slot normally has around 96.50% RTP, but are you sure it's Sweet Bonanza and not Sweet Fiesta?


 so the most of slot games operating are on the contrary repartiting the most of the returns on the small wins and making the big wins quite rare.. what should lead you to play more.. but (mathematically) the more you wager, the more you lose!

I think, it is more like, the more you wager, the more casino is earning. As for us regular gamblers, it all depends on luck, unless we are making tens of millions of spins. The more spins is done, the less it depends on luck, and the closer are we to losing exactly what we should lose in accordance with the RTP.
