In many countries where gambling is a taboo - and people do not gamble because its not legal and its considered as a sin.
The people there can do online gambling and satisfy themselves. However - those people have a thought behind their mind if they are doing the right thing or not.

Gambling can be subjective. Those countries where gambling is a taboo has a very simple definition of gambling. Don't they realize that in real life we also gamble or take risks? Gambling is a form of entertainment, it only becomes a sin because most people get addicted to it with the mindset of it can make them rich in short amount of time, which only happens to very few people that are lucky. Gambling is a business to entertain people, they did not promise some returns.
Despite of illegalities of gambling in some countries, i believe gamblers do not settle on that and won't gamble at all. They will always have the time to gamble, it's just that they should be extra careful not to be caught by the government officials. Maybe that's how they see it as a sin, contradicting the laws of the government. But in real life, people somehow need to gamble too because its just a form of entertainment but in a business way. And you need funds for you to be able to gamble, whether you win or lose in the end.

truth is that most of the time the state is not really effective on forbidding people of doing what they want to do
take drugs as an example, most countries make it forbidden, though the only result of prohibition is creating a parallel market where drugs are more expensive and harder to check provenance and quality
with huge horrible externalities for the population (in the worst case being war and people getting killed)

Just in. 1 Lucky winner already hit the x10,000 max hit on the duelbits plinko with just 181 balls with 0.1$ bet value. This is an insane win honestly and I never thought that the max win can be hit easily with such small attempt.

Full tweet of the winner: https://twitter.com/botairtx/status/1530188986739720193?t=8VWcBOYdBL6zxarz9S3J-g&s=19




Wow what a lucky guy, for just 18.1$ he won a total of 10,000$. I thought it would take thousand and thousand of attempts to reach the 10,000x multiplier but this is a lot faster than expected. Personally, I will play on Plinko for time to time but I never tend to be really lucky on that game.

that is really impressive
this was 1 attempt with 180 balls or 180 attempts?
I'm not so familiar on how Plinko is played.

will look into it
this got me curious

2424  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Still Supporting And Playing On Newly Launch Casinos on: May 31, 2022, 08:14:34 PM
yes, this points to a possible way for new casinos to differentiate from competitors too:
to bring new and fun games that their competitors don't offer
duelbits and roobet do it with their own characters and design choices...
That is by far the best way for new casinos to attract new customers, after all if they are only offering casino games that you can play in other casinos then why would you try this new casino when most likely you have better bonuses unlocked at the casino in which you usually gamble and you trust them with your money? However if a new casino also offers new games then they can attract a lot of customers, and if the games are any good then they will rise in popularity extremely quickly.

yes!
- new games
- new and attractive design
- promotions, giveaways and partnerships

this goes a long way

I wonder how many try to enter this kind of business and fail.

a maioria das pessoas aqui já se ligou que web3 vai mudar tudo, bitcoin veio pra ficar e não vai morrer, e ainda veremos milhares de dapps criados da eth que nunca imaginamos serem possíveis.

quais são algumas ideias que vc acha que podem ser criadas nas próximas décadas nesse mercado e ainda não vimos?

vou jogar algumas aqui, sem muita preocupação se irão acontecer ou não.

- aplicativos de micro-crédito baseado em reputação nas redes sociais e permitindo empréstimos "under colaterized" (DoxFi) - será nefasto e muito interessante ao mesmo tempo.
- NFT-zação de ativos reais (de imóveis à apólices de seguro)
- mercados de NFT com taxa 0
- uma moeda baseada em fiat algoritmica que funcione (brincadeira, não acredito nisso)
- DAOs maiores que países financiando iniciativas educacionais, culturais e artísticas.

o que mais?

The Queen's Gambit opening is considered one of the strongest opening for white due to its aggressiveness. There are lots of traps in that position where you can win a piece or even sacrifice a piece to checkmate the King in a specific move order, but I will highly recommend for you to master it!

Another fun fact, that is also the reason on why the series on Netflix is named after such opening. It has been used by chess GMs over and over again to the point that they already know or encountered the same position repeatedly.
wow, interesting, I confess I didn't know that! thanks @qwertyup23
I confess that with each passing day I am more interested in chess, although I am a beginner, I need to learn several things, tactics and moves!

When I see some chess pros playing I feel useless lol, I'm extremely impressed with what some people can do during a chess game

when I started I was really impressed with people being able to predict 3 turns ahead, lol
now I can do it

finally climbed back to 1300 ranking on blitz games
still a long way to go but I'm having a lot of fun

regarding openings with whites I keep using the Queen's Gambit, for some reason I prefer it that opening with e4, the most traditional way.



another vote for the seris "Queen's Gambit" here, it's a great series, and also my favorite opening when playing whites.

I agree that practice helps to improve, but studying and learning more strategies and techniques too!
Hmm... interesting! Thanks for your recommendation and shared with us.

Talking about learning, yes, sure, because one thing complements the other!
It is interesting to study, learn new strategies, see tutorials and strategies and put all this into practice.

That's correct I started watching Queen Gambit after I read it is recommended here by one of the members.
This is very beautiful series and I liked it so much - particularly how the game changes the life of little  Hermon. Is it based on true events?

if my memory is correct the series is based on an homonymous novel, but not a true story, a fictional one
still amazing Smiley

I should watch it again one day now that I know a bit more about chess

what i am worried about axie is do they really have long term plans here? like many other seemingly solid projects, we have no clue about the real plans of the axie team. what if one of the members decided to cash out and leave? so if you are an axie player, i think, better cash out some of your coins at least getting your initial investment. and then, the rest you can always cash out whenever you want to. but secure your initial investments so it won't be hard for you if in case something goes wrong with the platform.
Very high likely that there is vesting term for internal members so their internal staffs can not cash out all AXS or SLP they have if it is from their investment internally.

I don't think a big project like Axie Infinity will have rug pull. With this great success, their internal team members can easily buy their tokens 2 years ago, even on the open market with cheap price and sell in bull market last year at all time highs. With huge trading volume in last year, it is not a big issue for anyone to cash out.

Now their project is in trouble after the hack and side effects from bear market. They are builder and leader in blockchain game so no rug pull.

The axie team doesn't receive any money in SLP
SLP is minted by players and burned by breeding with future burn methods/ sinks to be added.

I'd guess they earn in USD directly or stablecoins with some minor distribution in equity as AXS, but I could be wrong of course.

LUNA's case shows why most casinos, even the small ones, should be careful when adding support for different cryptocurrencies than the main one, bitcoin, ethereum, doge and maybe litecoin.
too much risk.
It's true that indirectly they must also be aware that this kind of thing must be seen carefully which coins are worthy and which are not because regardless of anything, of course they also do this for business and in business everyone does not want to feel a loss there even though it is inseparable. of that but minimizing is the right way. therefore apart from managing and managing a good site they must also be able to filter about which coins are suitable for gambling.

The casino will incur losses also if in case the alt that they are accepting crashed badly. Because it is already part of their bankroll and if that payment method crashed, it means, their bankroll may be affected if they have large amount of it in their vault. So for casinos which have long list of payment method, they should think of this possible repercussion before it happens to their coins they have.

yes, in the end this thoughts have to enter on the same basket as general risk management for your portfolio/investments
not a good idea to put a huge % of your bankroll on something risky like let's say dogecoin
so in the same way, if you're a casino owner and decides to list dogecoin, % of reserves shouldn't be a huge amount of the total
even better if it's <5%

You're not gonna to get the chance.

Most of the time, that code always full after 5-15 mins at the time that code posted. They not only posted in twitter but also discord, that's why don't really like the promotion like this since we don't have a chance because we not always online.

Don't hope to much, anyway is 2$ ~XD.

yes, it's quite a small prize at this moment
but for those interested on getting promos as soon as they are posted the best way is probably adding the twitter profile to notifications so you receive an alert on phone when they post new tweets

downside is that you'd have to check each and every tweet

Comprei R$ 10,00 de ETH pagando uma taxa de R$ 0,17 e recebendo 0.00114061 ETH. A cotação estava ~0,5% pior do que no par ETH/BRL da Binance.

Aqui esta o nosso TESTER oficial.  Roll Eyes

Pois, não compensa, como esperado. Alem dos limites da plataforma, ainda se paga mais 0.5%.

pelo que entendi esse 0.5% foi a diferença de spread Joker e não uma taxa específica da plataforma

então agora rola de fazer uns trades in-app?
a única implicação disso pro IR seria caso o ganho de capital fosse acima de 30k/mês, não?

Maybe the expectation to earn a lot of money make people fantasies something in gambling and if we look at certain scenarios we can figure out that this is hard to achieve knowing that mostly the house always win and their gamblers end up losing their money in quick scenario.

Cons maybe the capacity to lose our money is so huge so most provably that we need to be more careful since living on unrealistic scenario that we can win is so dangerous.

anything that creates a fake scenario that makes us ignore reality for a long period of time is a con imo.
better to have a rough true than a lie that makes us comfortable in a scenario where we can work and fight to create a better situation on our lives.
so... when approaching gambling it's probably better to know the game odds or be completely comfortable on losing all the play money... it could happen
It is that games of chance always open up to the possibility that you can win a lot of money with the least possible effort just by being lucky, that is what many are struck by, but of course they do not take into account the more real side that is losing, and losing is the safest thing to have when we enter gambling, be it online or in a physical casino, if we take into account all these premises, our thinking regarding gambling would change, that is, we would put in context that we would only use the casino to be able to have fun and not as a means of obtaining easy money, because everything is in the hands of luck.


there's luck but there's also math
so... calculate the odds
of course if you're doing just for fun I think is fine, the problem begins when people lose control and gambles compulsively.

Não tenho a resposta que você perguntou, mas quero fazer um adendo à criptomoedas focadas em privacidade como a a Monero... a mecânica delas é magnifica, não acham?
Poder enviar e receber criptos sem ninguém poder bisbilhotar oque você faz com elas, de onde veio, para onde vai e o quanto, uma maravilha que concilia a segurança da blockchain com o sigilo que se tem com o dinheiro em papel.
Obviamente que se o Bitcoin fosse assim o governo já teria sufocado ele, assim como já faz para que as exchanges não liste essas criptos em vários países.
Eu concordo.

Um detalhe é que o pessoal conhecido do Bitcoin (incluindo o Core team) já explicou que eles pessoalmente preferem focar na adoção do BTC antes de sair propondo e incluindo features totalmente focadas na privacidade.

Como você disse, se o BTC fosse totalmente anônimo, a pressão governamental seria muito maior. Mas se deixamos para fazer isso quando ele já está no tesouro de diversas empresas, aceitos em diversos países, e com milhões de usuários, fica muito difícil voltar atrás. Funciona como um cavalo de tróia, sabe? Cheesy

wow, muito interessante
nunca tinha pensado nessa possibilidade, não do cavalo de troia, mas desse cavalo de troia específico
será que nos círculos dos master devs do btc falam sobre isso?

Também concordo que o Bitcoin tem capacidade para muitos features, mas que só quando for mais aceite é que as poderá implementar.

Talvez muitas das features que vemos no Etherium, veremos implementados daqui a uns anos no Bitcoin. E se calhar funcionarão ainda melhor.

Será que um dia teremos um mercado de NFTs com base no Bitcoin?  Roll Eyes

o bitcoin é por design muito menos sujeito à mudanças, para rodar NFTs no btc precisaríamos de alguma camada onde o usuário possa inserir dados e criar, estilo contratos inteligentes.

Sabia que há muito tempo antes da ethereum existir o Vitalik trabalhou num projeto chamado colored coins, que começaria a desenvolver mais a ideia de linkar outros metadados às transações.

This seems very good to me, but I think they do it as a protection measure for children and do not access pages that are potentially very dangerous for them, but it is good that children, parents encourage them to platforms or apps that are quite good As in the case of Duolingo, which teaches languages, or maybe you see a page that can teach them chess moves or that they play chess, I know that now everything in children's culture is digital because even the very tasks that they are sent in schools have to do with it, therefore children are now very expert looking for anything on the internet, so if these sites are encouraged with the respective guidance and supervision, everything can go well.


I don't think it's only that.
Phones can be an amazing tool, of course, like when you mention duolingo
but they can be addicting and destructive too

there are some interesting articles and news on that, check it here:
Silicon Valley parents banning tech for their kids



amazing! I'm still playing a lot, almost everyday, but want to get back to study more, I should improve my midgame and endgame
starting to get openings better lately
I'm practicing most of the times with the same opening and same defense, as advised by a friend who's really into chess (ranked about 2000 on lichess)

Yes Well, I'm very happy that you're improving your game, the truth is that this sport is very good, besides, it requires a lot of time to improve, I see it as analogous to swimming because if you want to lose time you have to train for many hours and chess you have to train a lot to improve, unless you are a genius and you understand everything quickly and see moves in a short time, which, that skill is taken based on more training, I do not know if you have seen a series called "Queen's Gambit"? It is an excellent series, it would be very good if you saw it so you get more motivated, they show it on netflix, I really recommend it.


Hmm....thanks for that info and the recommendation @LUCKMCFLY I'll check it out on Netflix.

@Lucasgabd @LUCKMCFLY
Just like in the most varied sports, for you to improve and gain skills and experience, you need to practice, practice and practice again!! I believe this is the best way for a player to improve in this sport.

Eu não sei exatamente em mês a Binance foi fundada, ela abriu na China né e pegou bem o ban do trade da China e precisou mudar, então dependendo do mês, ela só pegou uma parte da subida e ainda um ban governamental e depois só bear market. Então não foi tão bom.

a genialidade do modelo das exchanges é que ganham independente da tendência do mercado
mesmo no bear market a binance deve ter feito bilhões de dólares

concordo que eles devem ter menos inscrições e menor volume nas épocas de queda, mas para exchanges grandes isso não deve causar um impacto tão absurdo assim pois tem margens de lucros estratosféricas.
