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.

That's right, it's a bit different with reputable gambling platforms than with centralized exchanges, even with those used by millions. We've heard lots of stories about big exchnges disappearing with people's money, but I don't remeber a single one about something similar happening with a big and reputable gambling site.

These industries are so different that I wouldn't expect a "domino effect" here.

Although there are thousands of seemingly different slots, most of them start looking the same after you play them long enough. I would like to see a slot with a totally new conception, something gamblers have never seen before. I know it's something that is extremely hard to translate into reality, but what I'm pretty sure about is that most gamblers would try such a slot at least once.

Very nice! Congrats, mate!

Bitcasino Billion is one of my favourite slots, and today, since it's my birthday, I couldn't resist from trying my luck with it. And although in theory the slot shouldn't be caring about it being a special date for me, it did care in practice.

Even without doubling my chance of hitting the bonus round, I got four of these nice guys, , within the first 10 rolls:



and from there it went good, as always.



Will buy some great beer with the winnings.

Thanks, Bitcasino Billion!

Those calculations are correct, and I would call them scientific ones in the sense that the more experiments conducted, the more obvious it becomes that it's a positive EV game. But the thing is that by the condition in the OP we can bet only once, and thus we have 83% chance of losing and we have no opportunity to recover the loss in the future taking advantage of the fact that it's an EV+ game. In such a case betting more than you can easily afford to lose is not a wise move.

I didn't know about that, and now I don't know how to verify this information, but considering your reputation I believe you. I must say, it sucks then. And not because I think all governments are evil by nature(I'm not an anarchist), but because it's a fact that there are bad guys in any government, and they can try to use the info against you.

I was lucky during the year 2022, and although I don't completely understand how to rate it on the scale from 0 to 100, I'll say it was 60%, meaning that I definitely won more than I lost.


And as for the plans, I don't have any. I think planning to earn money through gambling would be a bad idea for anyone. We should gamble for fun, entertainment and relaxation, and earn money through other ways.

Yes, maybe not all the people in the world will be killed at once. They say, with all the heavy nuclear warheads employed, only around 400 million people will die immediately, but writing "only" here is hard because this is such a big number. But no one on the planet can avoid the impact, that's right. Imagine, you have miraculously found a place in Australia or Argentina, and survived. What next? No one wants to live in the post apocalyptic chaos with a "nuclear winter" on top of that.

Game 1:  22, 22'
Game 2:  22, 22'

This is really sad to hear, but I think it's not like a rule for everyone, rather, you were just unlucky. Or your goals were wrong. You see, if you want to impress your "friends" with either your courage or generosity, it always ends badly. Find friends whom you don't need to impress, who accept you as you are, and move towards your financial freedom along with them.

Haha, I remember using the same strategy when only starting with dice. Then I dropped it. And not only because of my personal experience, but rather because I understood that it was as pointless as so called "prerolls". It's like written in stone, it's in the code of any fair dice game that each roll is absolutely independent from all the previous ones. Those "extra bets" exist only in our head. In reality you are always starting anew.

Good idea! I don't know how difficult it is, but if possible, please, FreeBitco.in, install such counter.

I myself have 5 tickets(won them on WoF)



and even though I know that with over a million other tickets, 5 tickets or 6, doesn't make much of a difference, I would still wager like 20k sats, if that was what I needed to get another one. And for people with zero tickets it is especially important.
