2341  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a web3 casino for you? on: May 10, 2023, 05:46:16 AM
Everything in web3 gives advantages to the owner/user itself but since it’s still in a process, we can’t actually give its precise meaning. However, for me, web3 offers a lot of advancements like we don’t have to face problems like KYC since everything that the casino will ask has been input already in our own non-custodial wallet.
But what about the future, there is possibility that the government may want to attack the web3 gambling sites and asked them to make KYC compulsory. Making KYC compulsory on web3 is very possible. Gambling sites, decentralized exchanges and other platforms that are using web3 may become a place of know your customers in the future.

That is why I don't buy the web3 hype. It's another buzzword created to market something that has already gone stale because the words they try to label it is something that isn't catchy and appealing to the masses. Even if Web3 goes full-blown and almost everything becomes decentralized, one swift order from the government to make KYC mandatory and all of those years building up said technologies to combat centralization will be wasted and left at the mercy of the government.

Especially for casinos, it will be an easy target for the government to impose their laws and regulations to these platforms because they need to be registered in order to operate. And if you're a registered entity, the government knows who you are and can basically make arrests if you do not comply with their demands.

All in all, the idea of a web3 casino is to just bypass KYC restrictions imposed by the government, but in the end this wouldn't matter that much because the government can just do what they usually do and impose their KYC regulations and get what they need/want.

Satisfaction does not equate to happiness. Whatever you spend money on may satiate your hunger or thirst into something, but IMO it isn't happiness if it doesn't make you feel contented. It will, at best, just make you hungry for the better, more advanced variants of what you bought in the long run which will be a never ending cycle. While there may be some form of happiness entailing your purchases, it will be short-lived, unfortunately, no matter how much you want to get that item that you really wanted to get before.
2343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer Original Slots or slots from 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 09, 2023, 11:39:29 PM
If I'm feeling lucky, I'd go for 3rd-party slots providers. They offer better lines compared to in-house casino slots though the latter provides better RTP compared to the third-party ones. If I'm planning to stay longer in the casino and want to get more from my money, I'd stay with in-house slots from the casino. But in the long run, what we want is winning, and third-party slots providers give just this for the better pay rates.

I always suspect that some form of manipulation on the balls and the pockets are happening when the high rollers come in. Though for a normal table with low-medium bets, I doubt they’ll risk getting caught as most of these people in this bracket are the ones who are overanalyzing everything. But yeah, it’s not really a shock to me if in case they’re really doing something like this given how sophisticated tech has become and how much money casinos are making to have access to this type of tech and apply it on their games.
I don't want to say much about the casinos that do this because not all casinos are cheating because there are some big casinos that are provably fair so they are more worth playing than the small casinos, sometimes only the small casinos might be able to do that because they want to earn a lot of money from gamblers.

Wouldn't it be too obvious for small casinos to do this since there will be a lot of incentives for them to do this. Also, most of the small casinos are relatively new, and people are still on the process of reviewing every single detail on the platform and that includes the games, the functionality of the site, and the overall feel of the platform. With big casinos, they can pretty much get away with it although of course the risks are a lot greater for them compared to the small casinos because they can potentially lose a lot more than the small casinos.
2345  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is a new pandemic imminent? on: May 09, 2023, 10:41:24 AM
Maybe not in this decade, no. They already succeeded in the reset, and the sickness that you’re stating here can easily be treated with the available medicine that we have. Also, since the people are aware that a possible pandemic might happen again in the future and they know what it could bring (lockdowns, quarantines, etc.), they’ll be more smarter now and probably resist those things before it can even happen.

It will take a new engineered virus (hopefully not fungi) to take the world by storm again. When the ones who hold such power deem it necessary to do another reset, that’s when all of these will happen once more - but not right now that’s for sure.

But in GG, even if he goes aggressive, his support is always there on the right place to back him up. And it is working for them for quite some time now. Even on this new patch, they quite adopted very quickly and maintained their dominance in DOTA 2.
That and having an active squad hunting in different parts of the map is much needed during this patch since kills are more rewarding and their drafts are too good.
Seleri and Tofu are really a good tandem, no offense to other pos 4 and 5 support tandems but them, they're noticeable and have brought the team very well.

Seleri has been a silent beast since Team Tickles and all it needs for him to get that Major title is for his team to get better and for the patch to favor them. They really do well on high-tempo heroes and Seleri knows this as the captain of GG. The patch also made these high-tempo heroes a lot more effective because of the map control those teleporting things give. Overall, GG played extremely well against a team that also uses the same strat thanks to their captain who knows how to play with heroes and maps in this patch.
2348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 08, 2023, 11:32:24 PM
I did what I said I wasn't going to do.  Laid in on the Knicks and the money line here.  This is pretty much the series for them.  They shot like garbage the entire series so far.  Not gonna lie it looks bleak for them but if they can just get back to playing the way they did during the year they will be fine.

And I'm taking golden state money line to round out every series at 2-2!  Good luck everyone and enjoy the games.

I'm going on the opposite though, Lakers at ML at 1.75 here. I think they know how important this game is, and they are going to play at their home court so they might as well pour everything they got to have a good 3-1 advantage.

Lakers ML is a relatively safe bet, although I would stick at the over/under just to be on the safer side of things. The Warriors can still pop off and put in a performance to even the series score even when on the road. Lakers at home is a force to be reckoned with, but the Warriors on the road is also a team that can do a lot of things to even the tides of battle. I can't really discount either of the teams in this match up, and both of them have good odds as well. I'd say it's a coin toss, but the Lakers has the edge in here.

I'd just go for over 228 points instead.
2349  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: May 08, 2023, 08:39:14 AM
This kind of people should be banned on playing in any casino or gambling platform.  This brings more trouble than profit to the gambling industry.  Not only they are blaming Casinos for the losses, they even put a lot of effort in defaming the platform where they got their huge losses.  We have seen several cases like this in the forum, even filing a scam complaint on the casino platform which at the end is futile because they have no evidence in hand, and the thread is created due to hate and unacceptance of losses.
We must keep balance in our thinking. With any scam accusation from a gambler against a casino, we must wait for a casino response to see how true the accusation is.

It is more easily for a gambler to file accusation against a casino with their screenshots of proof.
It is harder for a casino to show screenshots of proof because as a business they have agreement and responsibility to protect user privacy including personal information. However, they can show some proofs that don't break their Non-disclosure agreement but still enough to confirm a scam accusation from a gambler is invalid (lie).

Quote
Obviously it is the sly scammers since they are the ones inflicting damages and losses to the victims.  whether the victim has neglegence on their part it is still not right to exploit and scam others just to gain profit.
If they are cheaters and got detected, limited, restricted on a casino, they will try to be victims in their scam accusations with hope that they will be awarded something from a casino.

The problems with these types of casinos is that their terms are ambiguous with clauses that state 'We have the right to suspend any account at any time for any reason'. This makes it justified whenever they shut an account down since it is in their TOS.

Even Rollbit have this in their Sportsbook policy... 3.13. Sportsbook platform reserves the right to suspend a client account without prior notice.

This just happened to me, where they suspend my account when I was winning and still haven't given me a reason why. I didn't lose and blame the casino, I had 10.2k USD in there and they disable my account.


See the thread here with PROOF of everything. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5449402.0

Rollbit still silent on this case and a few others. Be cautious with them!

Almost every casino enforces this rule on their platforms. It might be kind of unfair to us bettors since we are the ones giving these casinos money but then again, the opportunity for us to make money are being laid on the table by these guys. Not that I'm trying to justify that shitty ruling that they have regarding account suspension, but we know that people won't really admit that they're doing something wrong unless they get caught red-handed (and sometimes they don't confess to the deed, still). Casinos do this as a way to prevent further damage until sufficient investigation is carried out. And as always, you can always come to public forums such as bitcointalk to let everyone know of this unfair decision that they made towards you, and that other members would, on their own volition, just not play and support that casino you are referring to.

It sucks, but consumers are always at the mercy of the producers no matter the industry is.
2350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 08, 2023, 08:12:01 AM
Free spins and matched bets, low-wagering requirements to activate some bonuses (highly unlikely) and some trickle of cashback for every X amount bet. These things are not always available in one casino but you can find in different ones. Cashback is what I usually would only aim for since I'm only playing to enjoy right now. It would be nice if they would be lowering the threshold to activate the cashback feature on casinos that offer these because not everyone can literally blow thousands of dollars a night on casinos as most of us playing are just average Joes.
2351  Economy / Gambling / Re: Punt.com | Win $1,000,000! | Biggest Crypto Casino | Instant Withdrawals! ✅ on: May 07, 2023, 11:53:35 PM
NEW Bonus just landed on our official Punt.com telegram!

Check out the newest bonus code that landed on our official Punt telegram. Link: https://t.me/Puntcom

Lately the bonus code activity on Telegram has been slow you posted new code today since 15 days ago do you need additional admin?
wagering requirements have also increased $900 - $1500 and today $2500 we are not sure if this is good news or not but for me personally not really
come on Punt.com we need something new competition in this industry is getting tougher  Tongue
$2500 isn't much honestly. I don't know if you're a user of telegram and are in other gambling sites telegrams, but lot's of sites offer different bonuses to players. This wager requirement isn't the biggest out there.

If anything I would say they need to add more frequency of coupon drops, but I'm sure that probably depends on a number of factors.

The frequency of giving out bonuses from other gambling telegram channels is really more than what this platform currently is doing. They have a good site, a relatively okay list of games, and some promotions going on here and there. Maybe their telegram channel isn’t really doing that good, or there aren’t that many active players in their telegram channel. Whatever the reason is, it’s good that they have a these codes, and would be better if they’re out regularly even though no one might use them.

2353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Experienced Winning Bets By Upsets on: May 05, 2023, 11:47:02 PM
I sometimes parlay underdogs for the fun of it, and I usually do this on NBA games which I know has a chance to be a winning game, especially if the opposing favorite team has some key players that are missing but are still considered the favorites for some reason. I won two times from doing this, and the returns are quite handsome as you say it, although you must really be aware that there is a huge possibility of you losing your money that easily.

There are some sports that I'm eyeing on wherein the underdogs are usually the winners (Korean Baseball). It is a very tempting market, and there are a lot of games that you can pick and that is where you can gain some knowledge on the teams you would like to follow.
2354  Economy / Gambling / Re: Land base slot vs Online slot RTP on: May 05, 2023, 11:00:20 PM
Any land-based casinos aren't really known to be generous when it comes to RTP. They'd screw you ten times over and you will not have a word on what they are running on their casino. In slots, what I would suggest is that you watch people play first, ensure they haven't won anything substantial, and immediately fill their spot and play where they left off. IIRC, whatever they lost on that machine will carry forward to the next user until the win threshold is hit, and those are the machines you want to be on. It takes a lot of patience though, but it is worth it, especially if you hit the jackpot off of those machines.
2355  Economy / Economics / Re: Have a Income? Invest in Crypto or Not? Let's think realistically on: May 05, 2023, 09:19:12 PM
I'm still into crypto trading although what I'm doing is more of a buy and forget thing rather than actively devote my time buying and selling crypto. It's worked for me in the last few years and it's still working now. I have long accepted the fact that I will not be able to learn the trading scene or devote that many hours into it, hence I moved on to the more passive option but still try to keep myself informed on what's happening in the crypto scene. This way, I still know when to buy and when to sell.

If you're really dedicated and have the time to spend on, read more and try trading using fake money and see where it takes you.
2356  Economy / Economics / Re: So is SBF the reason for the possible upcoming global finance crash? on: May 05, 2023, 06:26:50 PM
SBF is a small drop in the pond, a really negligible loss on the grand scheme of things. He may have caused a lot of changes in the crypto market, but I don't think it's that severe that even the big banking institutions around the world are gravely affected. The banking industry falling apart is, IMO, more of an internal issue on how the banking system works and not really about crypto gaining prominence all over.

What I cannot comprehend is how these banks lose a lot of money but still are capable of operating and not getting behind bars. A lot of banks have gone under in the past but are still saved somehow, whereas other businesses are just left to rot with no aid whatsoever from the government.
2357  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can we trust 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 05, 2023, 10:14:30 AM
I’m pretty sure before these providers are chosen by the platform, they are being audited first for what they offer and checked for any possible irregularities they may have on their system. Third-party auditors of these game providers also exist, so there’s that. As for us users, we can’t really know if the casino or the gaming providers are being straight with us; heck, we can’t even trust the casino’s own game if we start to doubt their third-party game providers too. It is a system built in trust, and something that is hard to completely ignore when questionable stuff starts happening here and there.
2358  Economy / Economics / Re: SPENDING MORE THAN YOU EARN on: May 04, 2023, 11:59:26 PM
Spending more than you earn is something that you shouldn't do if you are just living from paycheck to paycheck. There are just tons of reasons why you should plan your budget ahead, and make sure that you still have something you can use on for a few days if possible. This is a very hard mindset to develop, but something that is worth it once you have mastered it.

It takes a lot from people to change their mindsets and habits to something that will benefit them in the long run, and this right here is one of them.
2359  Economy / Economics / Re: Wind Power Has A Profitability Problem on: May 04, 2023, 11:43:33 PM
Wind power is still useful in some places, but unfortunately it isn't really possible to make a lot of money off of this because there are a lot of renewable sources out there that does fair better compared to it. Solar energy, for example, while needing to spend a huge amount on the initial costs, returns a lot of energy in the long run which makes the investment and the maintenance worthwhile. Wind turbines are still useful on small villages that aren't reachable by the power grid, but you don't expect someone to just donate one and run one on a far-off place without getting anything from it.
2360  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 04, 2023, 11:16:47 PM
One of the factors that sky rocketed online gambling  was the covid and its lock down policy and since after the 2019 covid, the demand for online gambling  has been on the steady increase and I don't see it dropping  anytime soon.
And online casinos  are extremely  doing very well in promotions and I've seen alot of prominent celebrities endorsing a particular casino and all of a sudden, the casino records massive growth in their business which is an evident that celebrities have some good influence on casino growth.
I think one of the major reasons for the widespread  of online gambling industries  is the ease of access.
^That is exactly the reason why the rise of the online gambling industry because of the covid.
With many people confined to their homes and seeking entertainment, it is no surprise that online gambling has seen a steady increase in demand. Because it is the convenient way and ease of access that online casinos provide them an attractive option for many of us. For now, it will be interesting to see how this industry continues to evolve in the coming years.

And people actually found out that it's one of the easiest ways to make money while enjoying your time at home. It has stuck to a lot of people now and it could also be one of the reason why sports betting in general has gained a lot of followers.

Here in my country, a lot of people began to watch sports for betting purposes, and have since learned to enjoy the games as well. They are being encouraged by a lot of online influencers by posting wins online, even though we know that it's only a marketing strategy to get people invested and hooked in it to shell some money out.

Casino games are also slowly being recognized by a lot of people as well. Even in my workplace, those who previously don't know how to gamble are starting to do so because they are seeing wins, and they believe they could also get the wins for themselves.
