261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 07, 2024, 05:58:46 PM
I’ve been on losing streak for almost 3 weeks of gambling, not daily but in random basis for over 3 weeks. Mostly I play only live blackjack using small bankroll around 50$ to 100$  . No matter what I do, slow play or whatever betting strategy makes me lose since dealer card is always so good around 90% of my game.

What I did is I stop gambling for a week and decided to try different game so that my mind will be fresh and positive. I play slot games and manage to win huge amount that is enough to recover my 3 weeks losses and gain a decent profit. I’m just using small bet on slot games when I hit the huge jackpot.

In conclusion, if you are already having a rough time on playing same game over and over despite you have a good experience on it before. Trying new games to you and taking break will help you to snap out of your losing streak because chasing losses usually make us trap on our losses.



In your case, how do you approach when you are on losing streak so badly on specific game. Does changing game works for you?
Changing the game didn't snap your streak lol. The game you were playing, maybe you were playing incorrectly. Are you hitting 16s? Are you doubling down correctly? Are you standing correctly? There's more to blackjack then most think and if you play it incorrectly, you lower your odds of winning greatly.

Hey! 8 months later, the project has changed and grown and I'm extremely proud of it, The project is now called AutoPlus, supports Litecoin, Dogecoin, USDT SOL and Solana. Over $23k has been handled by the bot with over 230 unique users and over 450 trades completed and our biggest deal was a deal of 1500$. Discord doesn't really like this kind of business (especially the type of trades carried out using the bot), which is why the server was banned yesterday. Before the ban we had managed to reach 1500 members on Discord. And now, after the ban, we're already down to almost 100 members. To prevent people from falling for imposters, we've set up a site with the invitation link to the current server: https://autoplus.gg
You're giving us stats and numbers but where to see proof of such transactions? I'm not saying your service does or doesn't work, but people on this forum are going to use a more reputable service like Zenland or escrows on this forum before they go trusting a random person in discord.

I was expecting a response, perhaps response with anger from GekkeBelg but he seems gone or have no idea about the topic but it seems you and Martingaleboy so far are doing the job for him.

Maybe they are all part of the same group so they don't all 3 need to respond? Obviously I'm just speculating.
Maybe you and BitcoinGirl are the same person? I mean, you are both equally clueless about this topic. Obviously I'm just speculating.

By the way, did you place your daily losing bets so you could help out the operator? I hope you didn't forget, they are really counting on you buddy.
If you take a look at most of all 3 of you guys post histories, it's mostly scam accusations. If I went through and checked I'm sure that some of them are on the same sites around the same times. My speculation holds a little more water than your silly deflection. You don't have to agree and you're free to defend yourself if you feel you need to, but at least show some sort of intelligence if you expect me to reply anymore.

If you lose a bet, just bend the wife over and take out some frustrations hahahahaha. Not joking, idk how many times I have had angry sex with the wife when I've lost a bet. Never know, your significant other might like you to lose a bet now and then.

Can the representative explain to me how can someone cheat placing 4 nba player prop bets?

Why would I multi account on a shady page that love to hold peoples money when they beat them on sportsbook?



They have already stated they will not comment further on this matter.

I personally have never faced an issue on betcoin. All the support people have answered any question I may have and David has been easy to deal with. I have never tried circumventing limits and made multiple accounts though. Likely the case with you, you got limited or something and thought you would make a new account and be good to go.

268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it right to advice other people against gambling for personal reasons like?? on: April 06, 2024, 04:00:31 PM
Hi guys and ladies,

Sorry I can't share the Facebook post this thread stems from, as I lost the post, hours ago before deciding to bring it up as a discussion on this forum.

Like 6 to 7 hours ago, I was over there on Facebook scrolling my life-time away  Grin, I came to this post where the user was advising readers on how bad gambling is, being a gambler myself, I decided to open the post in fall to read and know what the dude is all about, and from all the story, it seems the dude went all in on a gambling sprey which didn't turn out the way he had anticipated, according to him, he had lost all his life savings (over $60,000) to gambling and it all started with a bet of $10.

And right now, the dude is all out to castigate and discourage as many that are willing to give him a listening ear; from gambling, all for what? Because gambling didn't turn out well for him, he lost his entire life savings, and he now believed that that is exactly how every other persons out there gambling will lose too.

What do you make of this, I honestly do not know but deep inside of me, I feel it's absolutely wrong to advice people against doing something, just because you did the same thing and it did not favor you..

Do you guys think it's OK to advice other gamblers to quit gambling simply because of your own bad experience, does your bad experience mean that every other gambler out there will also have the same bad experience?
I will like some really useful discussions around this topic.
Even your big streamers tell users don't gamble. Watch the trainwreckz dude and he will pop a message up saying "don't get it twisted, he is down millions" or some shit. Eddie on the stake weekly when people get called for a bonus buy or win the raffle, he tells them don't gamble and cash it out immediately.

The guy you are talking about is basically trying to tell people not to be like him. He played like an idiot to lose 60k I would say. A very small % of people are going to be full time gamblers and winners, most everyone else is going to lose. That's what it's best to set aside a certain amount weekly or monthly and just have fun. Drink a few drinks, hang out with some friends, and don't think about the money.
269  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why not create a Gambling platform on Market narrative? on: April 06, 2024, 02:54:36 PM
You would be spending lots of money to create a website for something that may only be popular for a few months. Not sure anyone would risk it.

I believe the user GekkeBelg is foul-playing
If that's true, it means several different casinos all allow foul play in their system. In that case they should change the system, or maybe even stop offering sports betting all together, instead of blaming the players who found a loophole.


So because they found a loophole you are ok with them taking advantage? I agree that sportsbooks should not offer bets that players can take advantage of, but I also think that people in general shouldn't really be shady anytime they can.

As you have shown in the rest of your post, this guy has accusation after accusation against multiple casinos. If he had 1 or 2 accusations I think his story would hold more weight, but when he has accused more than half the casinos on here, something just makes it feel very shady on his part. On top of that, the community being so quick to judge, has cost the forum multiple campaigns according to replies BitcoinGirl.club posted.

I see the same thing starting to happen with stake.com and their campaign. Some people have opened up multiple threads about the campaigns participants and instead of trying to help stake improve, they are just getting out the pitchforks and trying to crucify the manager. How long til that casino decides to leave the forum as well?

A decent number of replies in all scam accusations shouldn't even be posted IMO. Some are just posting to get a post. Some are probably even competition trying to taint the casino and bring them business.

I'm not saying that casinos are always 100% right and I'm not saying that none of these scam accusations that pop up are not their fault, but I do think that instead of looking taking advantage of "loopholes" that the bettors should spend their time helping make the casino operate better vs taking their money. This user may have a legit complaint but they're all tainted due to the number of complaints. He should realize that casinos all share information.

271  Other / Off-topic / Re: Just another gambling addict story. on: April 06, 2024, 10:30:10 AM
So, just recently a piece of bad news came out to my wife that his brother ran away to the city because he made trouble in their home in the province.
I asked why and she said, it's all about borrowed money and stolen funds from the family.

This is not just once that happened so I really know the reason behind it and it's gambling.
I did understand it before because it's from his own pocket which he made from mango picking which is their business. But that business is seasonal and there will be times when there will be no funds coming in.

What he did: Borrowed 15,000 PHP from a neighbor which is his gambling opponent. Pawned the tricycle (trike) for 12,000 PHP. Stolen 13,000 PHP from the piggy bank of his nephew. And more hidden borrowed small amounts.

Who will pay? My wife (which means my money too) and his sister working in Italy.

What did he do so that his mother would give up where the hidden piggy bank of the nephew is was the unacceptable thing to me. He threatened his mother that he would kill himself if he didn't give it up.

That's when I told my wife that this is a gambling addiction and the brother should be rehabilitated once he goes back. He will just do it over and over again and we will be the ones shouldering all the problems.

Do you guys have other solutions to this kind of problem? Because that's all I can think of. He will probably lay low for a month or two but he will be back to gambling again.
Well, I would let the guy go and hope he stays gone. Pretty cowardly of him to run away over less than $300. If small problems like that make him run off then what kind of life or marriage will he ever have? He will just run off everytime life gets hard. This is not a solution that leads to a happy ending.

Realistic solution would be you guys can choose to pay the debt for him and let his wife move in with you. When the guy decides to try to come home, don't let him. Tell him to stay away until he changes his ways. Then he has some decisions to make.

If you're going to use a service, shouldn't you do a little research and make sure there are or haven't been any issues before sending money? If there are, then use another service right?

Unfortunately the said mixer has an issue, there is an ongoing discussion of them regarding their exit scam on this thread[1], also it was labeled a possible problem on the altcoinstalks thread mentioned above.

Before the final draw I would like to ensure that we did not leave any valid entry from the survey. The following set of address are eligible for the draw. We had to remove many entries because the address provided for the blockchain was wrong. Example: Eth, Tron etc. We did not mind an address for Bitcoin which is not bech32 though.

Do I missed something?? I see that I am not on the list.. I have participated to the survey the first day and made a share on other social network for another entry too  Roll Eyes
Did you enter before the deadline though? They may not have accepted entries after the proposed deadline.


**EDIT**

Looks like you added a post March 26th in this thread so I would assume that means you completed the survey around then as well? Join the telegram group and have them check.
274  Economy / Lending / Re: Why do you take a loan on this forum? on: April 05, 2024, 10:05:32 PM
If people wanted the reason for their loan to be known, they would post the reason. Most of the reasons that have been given are correct though. A person can take a loan here and repay with sig campaign payments. To get a no collateral loan you have to have a history of quick repayment or high rep here, but most of the lenders know who is and who isn't a risk from previous loans. You're also not risking real estate for the loan, you're risking reputation which some consider more important.
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: April 05, 2024, 09:08:12 PM
Lets take a look at the family aspect of everyone gambling and try to give our individual opinions concerning these questions i will like us to discuss from regarding how we are gambling and how that can affect the family for the benefits of those already having one and those that will soon be in the league of a family man, lets make it as simple as possible in giving our earnest contributions on our take from this following questions i have for us.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?




1. You gamble everyday. Walking down the street a vehicle could crash into you, Same if driving. Severe weather may come and blow you away. Random robbery while you're out shopping or whatever. So kids are gambling from day 1 IMO.

2. People stop gambling when they die. Whatever age that may be.

3. Anytime I win more then I start with I am happy.

4. Nope

So my answers to questions 1 and 2 are obviously not what you were looking for, but true none the same.

JB and the Heat won’t do it this season because if Miami wins the play-in tournament, they’d have to go through Boston or Milwaukee in the first round, and that won’t happen in 2024.


Sure about that? because last season they were not expected to be in the Finals and boom it happened. Miami Heat is just so unpredictable, so you can't count them out. The same scenario last playoffs, Boston and Bucks both have the home court advantage but Miami Heat upset them.

You can talk about other teams but not Miami heat because they have proven this many times in the past, so I think we should respect them even against the top teams in the East.
Boston has been a bit more aggressive this year vs last year. I don't think any team is looking forward to having to face them in the playoffs, even if playoff Jimmy Butler shows up. Boston seems to be on a mission.

278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lately I've been thinking about this a lot. on: April 04, 2024, 03:39:17 PM
So I happened to watch a UFC related movie yesterday and the main character is a very strong one who never loses a fight but during a fight he decided to lose the fight, I found out that he did it intentionally because his uncle and his uncle's friend bet a lot on the biggest odd, which is the other fighter.

He lost the fight and he still made a lot of money from his uncle and his uncle's friend, how brilliant? Since they use a large amount and also on the biggest odd, but I think about the other gamblers who chose to bet on him because there was assurance that he would win the fight.

Now I started to think about the real life UFC, maybe this is even happening underground and we don't know? Jake and Mike Tyson's upcoming fight for example is gearing up, many believe that Mike will win, but maybe something like this will happen?

Many gamblers are placing bets on this fighter since its more reliable than you against the casino games, this is all about agility and skills, but the possibility of intent loss to make more money is also possible in this game, what's your take on this?
I only place low wagers on fights due to the fact that they could be fixed. I don't think Dana White would allow it and would likely ban a fighter for life if he found out, but I'm sure that it has happened.

Far as Jake Paul and Tyson goes, Tyson would kill him if they were going at it. I am pretty sure they are just doing a glorified sparring match and Jake is supposed to be the winner. It's a joke.
279  Economy / Reputation / Re: Solana SSHIB project ignores payment to Bounty Campaign participants (scam) on: April 04, 2024, 12:57:33 PM
At first it's your core responsibilities to secure your participants payment as a bounty manager.
All bounty manager's should put their participants first and not what they received as payment to manage the campaign, whenever I noticed delay in bounty campaign then I term it upon the campaign manager because they were only interested of what the project will pay out to them at that very moments otherwise, what they could have think is to set a standard of securing participants payment before even launching the campaign. I think there are some bounty manager's who is accepting escrow before launching their campaign, this shows that their participants is their most priority than just rushing to accept a campaign and launched before even thinking of paying bounty hunters.

At this point whom do you blame, yourself or the project owners? To me you have yourself to be blame, excepts you made it clear on the campaign thread that bounty is going to be distributed by projects owners that anyone joining is at their own risk. If the project doesn't pay then no one is permitted to hold you responsible.
You start by saying that managers should secure payment and not worry about their own pay only, then you end with as long as you put a disclaimer it's ok. You are just a walking contradiction IMO and shouldn't comment just to comment.

Just because a manager doesn't secure a payment doesn't mean they were in a rush. Promises might have been made by a team to the manager, token may not have been generated yet, or whatever other bullshit excuse a team tells a manager. It's not the managers fault more then half the time. There are managers that will just accept any project and not care if anyone else gets paid as long as they do, but hunters should learn and not join that managers campaigns rather than just keep on joining and being disappointed.

Now, I do think that unless tokens are secured, bounties shouldn't be launched anymore. It's getting old to read the same shit over and over. Most don't respect bounty hunters but whether you respect them or not, if they did the work they deserve their pay.
280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Land Based Casinos in the Digital Age on: April 04, 2024, 12:38:58 AM
Hey everyone,

As online gambling platforms continue to grow in popularity, I’ve been wondering about the future of traditional, land based casinos. With the convenience and accessibility of online betting, will brick-and-mortar casinos become a thing of the past, or will they evolve to offer experiences that can’t be replicated online?

Do you think they’ll manage to hold their ground, or will we see a shift towards exclusively digital platforms?
People still like to be social. There's a big difference between sitting at home gambling and going out and enjoying a few drinks with friends and maybe some blackjack or something with a buddy. At home you miss out on the social aspect, while those who would rather gamble from the comforts of their home don't have to worry about large crowds.

I don't think that land based casinos have too much to worry about, too many people love the social aspect and feel like online they could be being cheated.
