Actually Roulette gambling I've known for a long time, however, never playing, maybe this is the time.

My question is: there is something to learn about roulette gambling, or just luck in this game.

Regards.
Its all about luck. There is no such thing as strategies or winning "tips". If someone tells you he has a certain strategy that helps you win, ask him why he isn't a billionaire by now. I mean, using his roulette strategy he could have cleaned out all the casinos in the world. Others saying martingale strategy, you will need a very large bankroll to execute it, and you might still fail. The only way you will succeed with that strategy is through having an infinite bankroll. But if you had one, why would you even think of gambling?
The best you can do is to learn to control yourself to limit your losses.
2702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling thoughts. on: October 20, 2020, 05:24:40 AM
1. I am not a gambler, so if I ever want to do casual gambling would choose online casinos.
2. Not much to be honest. I would rather spend somewhere else and have fun.
3. Since I am not an avid gambler, doesn't matter if I make a profit or a loss. I accept both.
4. Won't stick to a specific game. Will try out different games like slot, dice, plinko.
5. Don't chase your losses. You will end up losing more. Don't gamble more than what you can afford to lose. Remember, you are gambling for fun. Don't turn this fun into an addiction.
2703  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Message to Bounty Managers and Participants on: October 20, 2020, 04:33:13 AM
Wait, how are they joining the same campaign using your username? And how are they even doing this? I am guessing they are applying from another platform using your bitcointalk username? If that is the case, how come the bounty managers aren't even cross checking anything? I means that is not even that hard to do. All you have to do is using the find function on the sheet and check if the user has already joined the campaign. Or they can tell them to send him a message from his bitcointalk account before enrolling. Looks like its just the managers that aren't doing their jobs properly.
2704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Card Counting in Blackjack on: October 17, 2020, 03:01:33 PM
-snip-
In my opinion, card counting is applicable to online and physical casinos. I think iit works better in online casinos because there is nothing the house can do. There are other solutions and the solutions above are applicable mostly in physical casinos.

How to count cards in blackjack link:https://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/how-to-count-cards/
I highly doubt card counting is easier in online casinos (unless you are playing blackjack online with live dealers). In fact, its easier to do in physical casino and there is nothing much the house can do to stop it other than telling you to leave the table ( I don't think they call the police for such matter, since if I am not wrong, counting card is not illegal). They do take measures, but most casinos avoid those extra precautions you have mentioned since the games ends up being really slow. If you keep on winning or act suspicious, put you under surveillance. It's easier to avoid all those hassles in online casinos because everything is automated. Shuffling cards after each and every hands with multiple decks just takes few milliseconds!
2705  Economy / Exchanges / Re: localbitcoins is still exisiting im surprised on: October 17, 2020, 02:41:56 PM
It is illegal in some countries to buy/sell bitcoin. Some banks bans accounts that try to transfer to crypto exchanges or block transfers. For them localbitcoins is the only place to find seller/buyer.
So you are saying some people use it to break the laws? If it is illegal in their country, then they should not buy or use crypto currencies. The risks aren't worth it at all. There are chances that you will get caught eventually. After you buy bitcoin, at one point you might want to convert it to fiat, but there is no way you can use your banks to transfer those money you get after selling your coins (unless you plan to receive cash money and stash it somewhere).
You are also able to buy/sell without KYC, and without any trace. Anonymity is a tier 1 thing for some.
As far as I know, they added KYC. And as long as you are connected to the internet you CAN be traced!
2706  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I'm very worried about my Crypto Trading. on: October 17, 2020, 06:01:24 AM
I'm very worried, Will I ever be able to make some income by trading crypto? Everything I buy is down. If I want to earn something from Crypto trading, then what do I have to do? What do I need to know?
By trading? Maybe, depends on how good you understand the market. If the coins that you buy falls, as long as it is a well known crypto currency such as bitcoin and ethereum, keep holding. If you don't sell anything, you don't make any loss even if the price falls.
You should keep trying. You will make a lot of loss, but eventually with experience you will figure out anything. Or a safe way to make profit is by investing in crypto currencies and holding it for a long term or until your profit goal is met.
2707  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin price are decreasing? on: October 16, 2020, 06:56:01 PM
Yes, it’s time to buy if you don’t already have bitcoin stock in your wallet. Prices will rise slowly even suddenly it could happen. According to CMC data, Bitcoin in 24 hours decreased by 0.32%. Isn’t this good to buy? Daily charts show bitcoin trends move down.
I wish people would stop asking "is it a good time to buy now?". Don't wait, just buy! If the price falls down by 0.32% buy! If the price rises by 0.32%, please buy. Try googling "is it good time to buy bitcoin" and look at all those threads you will find in bitcointalk and reddit. People were asking back then when the price was $200 if it was a good time to buy. They though its too late to make profit and the price was high. They though it would crash back to what it was before and waited for that to happen. It never happened and now they regret.
You don't want the same thing to happen to you, do you? So even if the price "rises" or "falls" slowly or the trend says its going to crash, dont listen to those and buy your bitcoins. As long as you don't sell them, you won't make any loss.
2708  Other / Archival / Re: Potential shortage of bitcoins? on: October 16, 2020, 06:47:25 PM
How is that going to happen? I mean, there are fractions on coins with the lowest one being 1 satoshi. Now if "shortage" does occur, then the price is bound to go very high and in the case 1 satoshi might have a value of hundreds of dollars. In that case, wouldn't we all agree to make a  unit which is smaller than a satoshi (not an expert over here. So I am not sure if this is even possible)? Or people will start using altcoins. Or there might even be some alternative tokens or something that will be pegged to the price of bitcoin. Like they can exchange those tokens for bitcoins.
I am a bit confused though, buy shortage did you mean shortage in supply?
2709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you read the TOS of a gambling site? Honest answer please. on: October 16, 2020, 06:37:47 PM
I want to make a survey from gamblers in the forum if they are really reading the TOS of the gambling sites they are playing with.

Therefore, I request you to vote and give an explanation on why you voted yes or no?
Not really. In general, if its a well known site or used by many people, I don't bother reading the Terms of Service. But, when it comes to like casino or other "controversial" sites, I do read the Terms of Service. It like each and every word, just skim through it and look for specific details (like their identity verification policy, country  restrictions and other important details). When it comes to services like this, I guess everyone should read their terms. I have seen people breaching ToS and then make a huge post over here and crying because their account got blocked.
2710  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not store your wallet on the exchange, store it on your crypto wallet. on: October 16, 2020, 06:30:07 PM
You can't store your wallet on an exchange. But yeah, based on your post, you mean the funds. True, one should not be using an exchange as a crypto wallet. We have already seen a lot of cases where the exchange gets hacked or they scam people. Still people don't learn anything from those unfortunate events. They still store their coins in an exchange. Its not only exchanges which are safe to use as a wallet, any kind of online webwallets aren't safe at all! If an online wallet doesn't provide you with your private keys (or they have access to your private keys), don't use them!
2711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: the cheater bounty participants began to act again on: October 16, 2020, 03:54:15 PM
currently I am one of the assistant bounty managers, currently there are many cheaters who follow the campaign that we are managing and what we find that the cheaters are starting to act again with multiple accounts by creating a new bitcointalk account to join the bounty then using other people's social media link profiles
-snip-
What's wrong with using other people's social media account? As far as I know, you are allowed to have multiple accounts (as long as you are not ban evading). If you don't want users to with multiple accounts to join your campaign, mention it on the rules. Do the same if people aren't allowed to use other peoples social media account. Not, if participants break the rules, it is your responsibility to remove them from the campaign. You are getting paid for that.
I also have difficulty handling it because they also create PoA in every campaign so that it makes us not know who the original owner of the social media is
Like I said, you are getting paid for it. If you think you can't handle it, then tell the person who hired you to find someone more suitable to do the job.

so I invite all of you to do the same by double-checking the bounty spreadsheet that you are following and if you find your social media profiles on other bitcointalk accounts to give negative trust
Not going to happen. I mean, why would someone care about the participants breaking the rules if they themselves aren't a part of that bounty program?
2712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My best investment strategy on: October 16, 2020, 06:09:54 AM
I wouldn't call that a strategy. It is more like a diversified investment where you will invest on different crypto currencies to minimize your loss and maximize your profit. But that doesn't always happen in case of crypto currencies since since the values of other altcoins are somewhat related to that of bitcoin. If we see the price of bitcoin dropping, we will see that the price of other altcoins also going down.
Diversification is good, but make sure you are investing in the right altcoins. There are lots of shitty coins out there! Best thing to do is invest maximum of your funds in bitcoin while using rest of your funds to invest in other "well known" altcoins.

2713  Economy / Gambling / Re: Pretty sure Freebitco.in was hacked or emails leaked/sold -attn wetsuit on: October 16, 2020, 05:51:15 AM
That is probably a fake/phishing email. Look at the pattern of the email. Does it contain your username or address anywhere? Do they address you using your email address or name? If that is the case, highly likely its a phishing email. Your email probably got leaked somewhere else (a faucet or crypto related site) and now they are using to send phishing emails acting like random but well known sites. Don't click on the email. Make sure your account is secure and has 2fa enabled. You can safely ignore that email.
2714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Finally!! McAfee is arrested in Spain and now facing extradition on: October 15, 2020, 08:32:50 PM
I would be really glad if this loser is extradited to the United States. He ruined so many lives, and caused hundreds of millions of USD in losses to the cryptocurrency users, by promoting scam ICOs. He continued to promote them even after knowing that these projects were scams. Those who invested in these projects after listening to him lost their hard earned savings. I hope he will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
I am really surprised seeing people still following him and promoting his acts even after those stupid and dumb statements that he made against bitcoin after he disowned his prediction about bitcoin. I wonder why everyone still listens to him. He has branded himself as one of the craziest guy in the earth. All started back in 2012 after he went all paranoid due to those murder investigation and everything.
He is already 75 years old. Don't think he will be spending much behind bars.
2715  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Billionaires Are Suddenly Buying Bitcoin on: October 15, 2020, 07:55:23 PM
They are billionaires. They can afford to lose hundred thousands of dollars without any problem. They have enough money to even throw them away. So instead of keep those money idle (idle cash) in bank with low returns and no safety, they decided to invest in bitcoin. They know the potential behind bitcoins and crypto currencies, so they are just testing out their luck. If the price of crypto currencies skyrocket after years based on what they have heard, then they will be even more rich. If it doesn't and drops, they just lost "few" million dollars which they probably don't care about at all.
2716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did anyone bet on the sharks yet ? on: October 15, 2020, 06:00:10 AM
Yeah, and now we have to bet on sharks and when they are going to migrate  to the other part? How do people come up with these stupid games? The last time I remember seeing a post over here were people were placing bets on fighting spiders. What are they going to come up with next? Which celebrity is going to die first? Or which country is going to be nuked first?
And why do people even bet on those games? What's wrong with betting in normal games?
2717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Normal Game Setup - a success or a failure? on: October 15, 2020, 05:53:14 AM
Yeah, it is a success to be honest. Instead of canceling it for Covid, they took steps to bring back the leagues on. Even though, all those setups (virtual crowd) might seem a bit odd at first, but at least the games are back. The only difference is that all people are now watching the game live instead of being in the game. It is not like everyone goes to watch the game. The average audience watching the NBA game live was almost the same (around 3 million). Then there is this virtual live audience thing for hardcore fans where they are virtually present in the game as a crowd and can cheer for their team.

Even with low ratings and small revenue (as expected), I consider this new normal setup as a success. It's not that easy to set up an own bubble amid the dangerous pandemic.

The revenue dropped, but the ratings are the same as far as I know.
2718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin truly moving forward? on: October 15, 2020, 05:30:09 AM
If bitcoin has been appreciating gradually like you wanted, how would millions of investors get into the market? By now it would be close to 100,000 USD thereby keeping away would-be investors, thus leaving cryptosphere in the hands of whales and institutional investors. So prices have to fluctuate to let some investors in and out of the market. So let bitcoin be. It has garnered a lot of traction in adoption. So i think it has grown over the years
How would they get into the market? By investing in fractions of a coin. You do not have to own 1 full bitcoin or any other crypto currency to invest  and make profit. You can also make profit my investing in fractions of a coin. If a bitcoin costs 100k USD, you can invest in 0.0001 BTC and still make some decent profit. I wonder why people keeps on thinking that they have to own a full coin to make profits. If you still want to own a whole coin, then try investing in other cheaper well known altcoins. I am sure there will be tons of such altcoins.
2719  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is bitcoin just for investors on: October 14, 2020, 06:52:53 PM
I would never say bitcoin is for investors only. It is for everyone. Some people invest in bitcoin and other crypto currencies hoping that they will make some good profit in the long run. Others invest in it to use it as a regular currency due to its flexibility (i know its currently not as much flexible as fiat currency, but with government showing positive attitude and interest towards crypto currencies, we are getting there). Like look at those gamblers. They don't have to go through all those banks and other hassles. They can just invest deposit their coins within seconds on their casino wallets and start gambling right away. Again, there are people that are using crypto currencies "just for fun". They enjoy trying out new technologies and like to experiment with it.
2720  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Biggest Crypto Ponzi Scheme Story to Hit Movies on: October 14, 2020, 05:35:49 PM
Great. I hope the movie ends up giving a positive image towards the usage of crypto currencies and the blockchain technology. At least more people will get to know about bitcoin and other crypto currencies while watching this movie. The movie might also be able to make people more aware of this kinds of scams and schemes. But, if the movie  somehow gives out the wrong message, there will be those dumb people who will think all crypto currencies are scam and are just a ponzi scheme.
Please do not connect one coin to crypto and blockchain, it was sold as a decentralized crypto coin but in reality it was a fake coin that never existed on blockchain. So please we should avoid headlines that can negatively effect overall reputation of crypto market.
