Yes one should first control his greed in gambling otherwise this person will become a big reason for gambling addiction very quickly.  Gambling site games behave the same for everyone so it is foolish to blame the games, if someone panics and over greedy gambles for long and loses gambling then it is entirely his own responsibility. The foolishness of blaming others to avoid one's own fault will not solve it

Indeed, although some gambling addicts might say that this is not the case. I read couple of times someone claiming that a "program" is watching him and makes him lose when he places higher bets. Can you imagine that! Some people really lose their mind because of the addiction. The games are the same for everyone and since only 5% of all gamblers are getting addicted, it's a tragedy, of course, but they should be blaming themselves and no one else.

It is very difficult to be able to control ourselves when gambling and we will continue to hope that we can get a big win from the bets we place by hoping that luck will be with us from the many risks they take, maybe only a few times they will have luck from betting risks. that they play and when they are aware of what they are doing of course they will be able to manage their gambling well and will make the gambling they play not cost them too much money which will harm them, by complaining about the casino will certainly not give any results without us changing our gambling habits.

We can always hope for big wins, but that shouldn't prevent us from controlling ourselves. Isn't losing control the biggest mistake gamblers can make? None of us should make that mistake. If you enjoy gambling - enjoy it, but don't spoil everything by overusing and abusing it.

Yeah, that was harsh. Just one leg lost and the guy didn't win $600.

On the bright side, he lost only $2. Always make smaller bets with higher odds, guys, that's what I'm always saying. If you lose - you lose a little, if you win - you win big.

Betwrong is one of the luckiest guys I see on this forum, not always the biggest wins but your profit vs loss ratio must be pretty handsome.

One day you’re going to hit something big, I can sense it.

As always guys, we really appreciate screenshots and real life gameplay experience, keep them coming.

Thank you, thank you so much, LFC_Bitcoin! Like they say in Ukraine: "Tвoї б cлoвa тa Бoгy в вyxa!". Which translates as "Your words go straight to God's ears!"

I mean, my bets are small, like 20 cents, but if I hit a max multiplier on Bitcasino Billion which is 15,000x, it will be a big hit indeed. Smiley

Today I played it and although my multiplier weren't that big:

 



every single one of them made me a bit happier. Smiley
265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lottery Fever. What are your range of thoughts in response to Lucky Winners? on: April 15, 2024, 09:50:32 AM

I prefer spending less on luck-based things and spending more on businesses, investments, and others, risks are present but one is bigger than others.
~

The risk in the lottery game is huge. The chance of you winning is incomparable with your chance of succeeding in business, it's way smaller for sure. BUT. The question is what amount of your money you are putting at risk? With lottery it's $2-$3, and with business ... Often people risk everything they have when opening a business or at least they risk thousands of USD. Again, amounts are incomparable.

This is a very correct clarification. Everyone blames online gambling for its easy accessibility, but everyone forgets the other side of this: leaving is also easy. And if we are talking about offline gambling, then I can hardly imagine how a gambler, having lost his deposit faster than he expected, immediately leaves the casino. Most likely, he will take more money (from a credit card or something else) because he is forced to “recoup” his costs of getting to the casino and still having fun.
Everything is as always: advantages from a certain angle can be regarded as disadvantages and vice versa.

Yes, we shouldn't ever forget look at things from another angle. Easy accessibility of online gambling can surely be counterbalanced by the ease of exit.

~

Play in the comfort of your home so they say. I sometimes eat my meal in front of the desktop so I won't miss a thing. Users today are doing the sane thing while playing and at the same time twitching.

But it's entirely different when you have to travel a few miles and dress up for the night to play cards on the table. But I think it's more fun to actually go out than online if I had the choice I would prefer to go out and have a drink and chat with real people so that we can meet eye to eye.


And no one, absolutely no one has the right to blame you, mate. If you enjoy it like that, if you like playing with real people instead of icons on computer screen, then do it that way. I assume you are talking about poker? I just want to say that I personally can see real people behind those icons. Especially when we talk to each other in the chat box. So, for me it's no different from a game inside a brick and mortar casino.

~If you are losing badly on a specific game, my advice - change it immediately.
Well you do got the point on which on the time that you are losing money on a type of game then switching games could really ease out that kind of disappointment and anger on which
it is really just that a normal thing to wipe off or lessen out that kind of impulsive feeling on which this one really works and i have been into this kind of situation too
but im not really that expecting for other wins on other games. ~

You are absolutely right, don't expect anything from another game. It's just it will be less frustrating if another game will bring you nothing too. I mean, for me it's like that: if I'm not succeeding in something and yet keep ding it without changing anything and keep failing, it gets on my nerves, know what I mean?
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: April 15, 2024, 08:06:25 AM
Hey gamblers' community, hope you're all doing great.
I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).

I'm sharing this because I saw this issue with my kiddo who was once watching me gamble at a website playing blackjack and she started asking me more about the game. Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.

Making kids focus on their studies instead of introducing them to gambling? Who would argue with that? Even if it was possible for them to constantly make money through gambling, what money can bring to an uneducated person? Nothing apart some troubles, I think. The greatest wealth lies in knowledge, not money.
269  Economy / Gambling / Re: What are your expectations for Casino coins in this coming bull run? on: April 15, 2024, 07:35:35 AM
Hi ladies and guys of the gambling board..

I believe by now, we all should already know that the bull run is fast approaching, and like it's often said, "Do not put all your eggs in one basket", I've invested in different coins from different narratives like Defi, Ai, Rwa, Gamefi and so on and on, but one narrative I've not put any money in Is gamblefi, or simply put, casino tokens, that is a token or coin owned by a casino, and this is not becuase I don't know any, I know quite some, and in all that know, I think two or three stand out, and those are..

1. RLB - from Rollbit
2. FUN - from freebitco
3. BFG - from Betfury

Investing in casino tokens I would say comes with rather a high level of risk, why? Because to me, they arent well known, they don't seem to make waves like coins or tokens from other narratives, and the chances they may remain stagnated and the same price even during the bull run; is quite high.

So, I am brining this dicussion to the gambling community here, and I have just three questions to ask, and they are..

1. Amongst the three casino tokens I mentioned above, if you were to invest in one, which would it be?

2. Are there any new casino tokens you think will do well in this coming bull run? Please tell the community and briefly introduce the project to us..

3. Overall, how are you expecting casino tokens to perform generally, in this coming bull run.?


I'd say FUN token from freebitco.in is the best. Why? Today the price of it is 7 times lower than when it was peaking 3 years ago. But it is still alive, and freebitco.in is a legit company that is surely not going to disappear in the nearest years. But, like always, I want to warn all of you guys: Don't invest more than you can afford to lose!

And replying to the 3rd question, will casino tokens will perform pretty well, imo.

On the other hand, I am sure that any gambling company will not want to include the bad effects of gambling because obviously their goal is to make a lot of profit from gamblers who always act excessively like those who have entered the addiction phase, because if the casino gives gamblers an announcement about the bad effects of gambling then obviously it can make the casino unable to achieve greater profits while the casino's goal is to achieve maximum revenue.

Again I'm reading something about gambling companies being interested in making profits from gambling addicts. I strongly disagree with this and expressed my point thoroughly in my post above. Please read it and make your objections if you have them. I'm open to discussion.

As speaking about being a business then it would really be just that normal that they would really be catering out services on different market. In return then they would really be
having those deductions or commisions simply on which they do make money or simply makes income.

Yes, and yet if we compare casino to Stoc,Forex&Crypto Broker in terms of earning money, I think they are almost the same. In any of those other options luck still pays a big role. Is it harder to earn money there than in casino? I wouldn't say so. But, in my opinion, they are at the same ball park.

~ I had 3 Golden Tickets this time



and I was hoping to win, of course. Smiley

Now it looks like the drawing for the latest round has already taken place. But I think these data  



relate to the round before the latest(look at the number of total tickets: there were more of them in the latest round than in the round 9). Can someone please clarify the situation?
I want to understand you correctly, you mean that the number of tickets that won in the last round is higher than the number of tickets that win the lambo draw this round?
~

No, I mean there were more tickets, 1,633,865, before the last round was ended, than the total number of tickets in the round 9. That's why I think Round 9 wasn't the latest round.

I have read all the replies made after my precious post, and my question still remains unanswered. So, I 'll ask it again: Was it the Round 9 that had finished recently or was it the Round 10? I think it was the Round 10, and so this info



has to be updated.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you avoid some games because of racism? on: April 12, 2024, 09:07:06 AM

Though, there would be a problem with taking such measures and adopting such a rule to deal with bad refees. See, referees are supposed to be respected by both teams and clubs in the match, regardless of the decision, if a referee alledgely does something which would benefit one of the teams playing and it could be considered to be unjust, then removing the referee would not solve the problem, because neither of the parties/teams playing is supposed to have the authority to remove him from the game and program a rematch or something similar, a third party evaluating the referee would be necessary and that will only make things more confusing an would not solve the dispute.

I'm not talking about a referee just doing something that can be considered unjust. Of course it can be very confusing and overall inconvenient. I'm talking about obvious racism. It can be spotted if it goes on repeatedly, and also if it's only confirmed by his/her social media posts.

As it stands today, it should be enough to keep a league or organizations of referees who have a very spotless behavior and had proven themselves to be unbiased. Also, I believe the salary of referees is an important thing to look at, of they are well paid, it is less likely for them to get involved into match fixing.

I agree with this. But unfortunately they can make unfair decisions based on their racism even being well paid.

I'm not quite sure why you would want poor neighborhoods to not have casinos. In my opinion a rich person can afford a lot more entertainment than a poor person. Keeping a poor person from gambling is not a very fair solution even if you think that his level of education and financial literacy does not allow him to manage his money properly. In addition, a rich gambler to get emotions must make a bet of $100, and a poor gambler is enough to make a bet of $1 and he will experience similar emotions.   

Oh, if it were like this! If it were like you said, I would wholeheartedly support placing slot machines and some other gambling facilities in the poor neighborhoods. But unfortunately  if you are uneducated, more often than not, it's never enough for you to win couple of dollars. You want to win really a lot, thinking that big money can bring you happiness, and thus you risk a lot, and often you lose it. Maybe it wouldn't look like a big amount for a rich person, but for you it's all you have.

Gambling is not so easy to predict but people are better predictors with sports betting. Even at that, we should not see external advice as too precious when we ourselves can even predict it if we are determined to learn the way and act and give it better thoughts and actions. This is necessary because luck can never be left out and even if we pay for any external service, we should still be lucky in addition before it can work as no one is a perfect predictor in anything.

First off, predicting the outcome of a dice game, same as of slots', is not hard, it's impossible. In sports betting, on the other hand, it's pretty easy to predict a win for a highly superior team. But the thing is it's usually counterbalanced by very low odds(multipliers on your bet), so you don't gain much from your knowledge. And of course there's always a possibility of the underdog winning the game, or a draw, and then you can lose your bet because of bad luck, even though it was "easy" to predict.
276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Claw Machines: a category of gambling? on: April 11, 2024, 12:56:45 PM
I don't recommend playing this machine since there's no fairness certification, unlike slot machines with certification or a license. If the prize is just a toy, then it's not gambling by definition, but if the prize is money, then it's gambling. This machine is easy to tweak or compromise, so even if you're a skilled "crawler," you still can get bad results. There are many YouTube videos testing and explaining this machine.

In a casino the prizes are tokens, redeemable to money.

Not sure if that is the main difference as you can also exchange the toy for money.

I think the main difference, legally speaking, is that one is a game of chance (gambling) and the other is a game of skill (crawl machine)

It's not a game of skill, many people in this thread said it, and I agree with them. It's an illusion that the creators of this game bore in mind when they were making it. It would be a game of skill, more or less, if after you captured the prize it were guaranteed that you'll get it. Unfortunately, we all know that more often than not it's not the case.
277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: April 11, 2024, 11:56:54 AM
One of the most important thing is being patient with your game and I know nobody is encyclopedia of knowledge that knows it all but patient can really help a lot and gambling after taking your time to predict your game and you have studied yourself and you have known the best game for me to attack so I see no point you changing your decision just because of few new ideas that someone gave to you, but I will advise you to stick to your plan. The patience don’t gamble because you are saying people winning gamble because it’s the right time for you and how you have taken your decision on the kind of game to play and when to do it

Maybe you are talking about sports betting or poker with real human players(not Video Poker), because in purely luck-based games like dice, roulette, mines, slots etc. patience is irrelevant. No "plan" however good it was and no patience will help you there. But you never mentioned that you were talking about skill-based games, so, Idk. Do you really think it's possible to predict the outcome of a game like dice or slots? Just curious.

Indeed, experiencing hunger can affect our focus when playing gambling. Yes, it is better not to force our stomach to empty when gambling. It would be better to fill our body with nutrition. If you force it, it will definitely make your body weak. Avoid drinking alcohol when you play at the gambling table, especially if they play drunk, of course they will lose consciousness and they will definitely not focus on playing and they will definitely experience defeat. Usually people don't play again, usually they are frustrated. They lost a lot of money there and want to try again. They think more about their lives than gambling again.

I agree that drinking alcohol will make you making higher bets, and that's not good in general. But I disagree regarding not playing when you are hungry. In my opinion feeling of hunger can play a positive role: at one point you decide that you need to eat something and you stop playing and go to a cafe. Then you are sitting there and eating your food and thinking "That's enough of gambling for me for today. I think I'll do something else." And that's a good thinking when you have gambled for an hour or more already.

Casinos never manipulate a game because that game you play there in that particular casino can be played in another casino website and you can see the similarities.

I like your approach. Indeed, contrary to popular belief, well-known casinos never manipulate a game. That's what too many gamblers are missing: gambling platforms don't need to manipulate no game because they already have math playing on their side. They earn money thanks to the house edge and they don't need to risk their reputation manipulating a game.

Not well-known ones, on the other hand, situated on shady sites, do manipulate their games, a lot. Beware of them.
280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Land Based Casinos in the Digital Age on: April 11, 2024, 08:28:17 AM
Casinos have a vibe: the energy, the crowd, the whole scene. Its not just the money, its the experience. And these days, with everything online, people are starved for that real-world buzz.

Not all people, I can assure you of that. I'm not, for instance. And it's not only me. There are many people who prefer their home environmet to anything alse, and what others see as perks, they see as drawbacks: shiny surfaces, loud talks around them, alcoholic drinks served by seductive women, you name it. It's not for everybody, you know.

Casinos can win big, and I mean BIG, by being more than just slots and tables. Forget just gambling - we're talking shows, top-notch restaurants, maybe even classes on how to play. Its about that human connection.

And dont think they're going extinct, far from it. The smart casinos get it – people miss the personal touch. Its not about fighting the internet, it's about giving folks something they cant find on their phones. Thats the future. Its the Vegas experience revamped, and believe me, thats a winning hand.

That's what I agree with. AT least during the nearest 50 years there will always be some people enjoying land-based casinos.
