281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Socialtournaments-A way to stop gambling addiction on: September 03, 2023, 06:49:18 PM
I have no idea how can free tournament help addicted gambler, afaik when someone is addicted (no matter what kind of addiction), he/she should start to leave anything related to the addiction.
Dont you think that it will not make them at all because they will still playing slot games although they do it without risking money?
Afaik it will not help them to reduce their addiction but it will only help them to spend less money for a while only, once the free tournament is over then they will continue with their own money.
To stop addiction effectively, gamblers should start from themselves by a great will to leave it step by step.


You are right about that, with a tournament even though not risking money it is the same as still playing slot games and has no effect to leave the game, in fact the addict will be more active in participating in the game and more likely to be able to return to betting with money.
The correct way is to change all the addict's activities, which were initially full of gambling games, into activities that are more useful and not related to any gambling games. it will help reduce their addiction and slowly forget about gambling. it's not good if you have entered the addiction phase, it will be a bad and uncontrolled life.
282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? on: September 03, 2023, 06:14:02 PM
<snip>
I think yes, since they are one the factors for a team to win, it just meant that their attendance affect odds of the match. Moreover, they gameplay and the list you have provided also affects the odds. Why? They are players – they have an impact to the odd's calculation, and if you will think of the game's odds base from players, you should also have to know if they are star player or not. Surely, they increase the odds of winning of the team that they are in.
Star players will always be star players and can influence opportunities, and within a team, having star players will increase the players' self-confidence. They can play better because their performance has also increased with the presence of star players. This will affect the chances of the match against the opponent, so the team's chances of winning will be greater. This is a psychological game against the opposing team because they will think that the team with star players will perform better. Usually, the opposing team will pressure this star player so he can't move as agile as usual, and the coach is aware of this. But that doesn't affect the other players because they will help the star player.

For a team that has star players it is kind of a good strategy to implement. Star players serve as bait so that opposing players focus on star players and other players can freely arrange strategies to attack. In fact, star players on a team will have a good effect on a bet, but also look at the condition of all the players, what strategies are used. It's useless to have star players if you don't have the right strategy.

What I do hate is when a gambler acts like he knows it all on how to bet on games, like his own prediction on bet is the best, and final. Whatever correction or suggestions you bring to his notice, he would counter it, making you feel less of yourself that you don't know what you are doing concerning betting on games.

That kind of attitude display pains me to the bone marrow

Absolutely agree with you. I also do not like overconfident people when it comes to gambling as luck plays a very big role in this area. That's why you can never rule out that even a professional's bet may not play out. But I am very amused to see these overconfident gamblers at the moment when they lose their last money. The faces of these guys perfectly convey the resentment they feel.

In fact, the probability of losing has nothing to do with self-confidence. Rather, self-confidence in gambling as in everything else depends on a person's outlook on life - an optimist always thinks about only good while the pessimist is always ready for the worst case scenario. It is likely that these self-confident gamblers are optimists in life, so we observe such behavior.

It's like there is no doubt in him when gambling, even though every gamble will give results that we cannot predict. Being too optimistic is not good for a person's mentality when in the end he experiences disappointment in his beliefs. The effect is that the psychology will not be stable, such a gambler will become a gambler who believes too much that he will always win. There are times to win and there are times to lose, it's just an opportunity and each opportunity will give a different result.

As for me I dislike when gamblers complain of their losses, meanwhile you hear them complain when they are getting winnings.
I also hate the gamblers who blames us because they get losses. Moreover, if they ask for help or they follow the same way with their own intentions. They know that there will be always no guarantee for wins. But when they really get losses, they don't want to accept it and blame us. It is like the lazy gamblers who always want instant wins but they never accept the risks. To be honest, I will never to share anything again with the typical gamblers like this.

I believe no gamblers will complain when they win. Why they complain? All gamblers expect for winning every gambling game, but it is always not easy because no exact way to determine the wins.  Grin




The attitude of a gambler that I hated the most is that when that gambler loss their bet and then we you talk and shared your experience on that game suddenly he rise his voice and get angry because he will not able to cash out because all his money will gone. And then when he light up you are the one who is being victim cause of his attitude. Then that's the reason why I dislike that kind of gamblers.

Such gamblers are temperamental gamblers who take out their frustrations on other people regardless of who that person is. They tend to get out of control and go crazy when they are angry. Losing a bet is certainly a very annoying cause. Many gamblers have bad attitudes when they lose, but being crazy and temperamental is an attitude that cannot be forgiven.
285  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are some cryptos decentralized while some are not? on: September 02, 2023, 07:48:04 PM
Honestly, the term decentralized is being used and abused by many project developers. They tend to mention that they're a decentralized project but lies behind that, they're not. Bitcoin is decentralized and that's what the meaning of it. And don't buy onto those projects that have been labelling themselves as a decentralized project. Another thing, DeFis are no longer a thing today.

What was originally decentralized then changed to centralized because of several changes made. Related to the ecosystem is the POW consensus Network change to POS and Bitcoin stays with POW and ETH changes from POW to POS. However, when it comes to exchange platforms, exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, etc. are centralized, and there will be many obstacles and risks that could occur. Not your keys not your coins. and projects that claim they are decentralized must certainly prove it by the consensus network they use

There's a lot you can do to become a crypto influencer, but it's not easy. It takes persistence to build your own brand, build your network with lots of followers and provide useful things for others. It's not easy to build your own brand, you also need a partnership with a well-known influencer and there will be a price for it all.
The ability to discuss crypto, provide your own analysis, create quality content and explain what is happening in crypto, all really have to be mastered. Influencers will be role models and they should know about everything related to crypto.

The faces of these guys perfectly convey the resentment they feel.

There is a very popular saying that- it is good to be confident but it is very self-destructive to be overconfident, I find that to be true almost all the time. First of all, no one actually should gamble with the money that they worked really hard to earn. Secondly winning money by gambling is definitely not going to be a regular thing for anyone. But the thing is once you are winning, you are already hooked. You are going to gamble even if you keep losing, in the hope that one day you will earn so much that the losses are not going to mean anything, but sadly for most people that day never comes. So it is better not to gamble the money that you can't afford to lose.


Addiction and becoming a gambling addict, it is a problem that will be complicated and be the beginning of all destruction. When gambling has reached the level of addiction and is never satisfied with the winnings that have been obtained initially, gambling will always be carried out without any further management. Hoping to get a bigger jackpot.
I played slots without any strategy, kept playing and playing even though at first I won and made a profit, but playing continuously without a break made all profits and capital run out in the game.

Actually believing is good, but not good in some ways that must be forced when gambling. Too confident that they will win and get lots of jackpots. Even though it was just luck. Many make big bets and confidently laugh and belittle those who place small bets, even though every moment in betting such as football or horse racing can change, luck is the first. Feeling too confident will make anyone mentally down when they lose in the end.
290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is exchange based tokens worth for hold? on: September 01, 2023, 01:45:36 PM
In crypto, we would look at all coins with a fresh mind, because crypto is a game of chance sometimes, so we couldn't say that we will always be at a loss or we could not say that we will always be in a win situation. We could take care of both loss and win.
Unfortunately, having fresh minds doesn't give us assurance as well, still, we fall into investing shitcoins if we never do research and background check. It was indeed we had to look deeper but rather make choose of those projects that we already know it was better as it gives us confidence that we can earn a profit from them when the time has come. Although we can't assure that everything went so well and can't avoid losses but there is a way to minimize losses and that is to choose coins that already have support from the community, not it was because of the exchanger.

Like Bitcoin, ETH, BNB, and many more that are recommended based on a strong community and continuous development. There is no need to do any research to hold onto this top coin as it is just a matter of time. Now maybe everything is bearish but when bullish comes everything will leave the current bottom price. Instead of falling into unclear investments such as shitcoins and memecoins, it's better to choose something that is certain, it will be safer and more secure.
291  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Free promoting a project by managing careless manager! on: September 01, 2023, 12:38:56 PM
Now look at the performance of trusted Bounty Managers such as Hhampuz, Roysee, Yahoo, etc. which I cannot mention one by one. They have done their job well and provided the best campaign that they have researched. There are many other bounty campaigns that are held by their own project managers. Most of them are social media bounties, videos and articles. But I prefer to write articles because the allocation is bigger and the task is done only once. Compared to having to do social media bounty work that has to be done every day and has a small allocation. Moreover, it will affect the reputation of our account because there is a lot of spam being carried out. The higher the reputation and account level, there will be more decent jobs with commensurate pay, so increase the quality of the account to get work that is worth it.

As bad security or not, I use all the security methods mentioned like face unlock, fingerprint, 2FA and security via SMS. But the main security thing you need to pay attention to is how you secure the device used to store crypto or as a personal wallet. I only have a mobile wallet that contains several assets and the main assets still use Ledger wallet hardware with better double security. The security of devices and wallets is the responsibility of each user, so don't be careless in doing all kinds of things related to wallets and other sensitive access.

Parents always have different ways of leaving an inheritance for their children. As someone who works in the Cryptocurrency field who has benefited a lot from Bitcoin, of course he will give his children insight into how to manage Bitcoin well. I have considered this, when my child is ready to accept knowledge that is a bit complicated, I will start to introduce Bitcoin to him slowly. Nothing is impossible as long as you keep trying to encourage your child to learn knowledge about Bitcoin. Your child's level of knowledge will be honed slowly if you consistently teach him every chance you get.

Teach in an appropriate way then they will understand what is being taught. Teach about Bitcoin while playing or through cartoons with a Bitcoin theme. There are many media that can be used to teach him noble. Don't teach Bitcoin in the usual way which is quite difficult for children to understand. Playing while learning is the most appropriate method. Do it consistently and they will get used to understanding Bitcoin and how Bitcoin works. We will invest in Bitcoin early on so they are ready for a future with Bitcoin.
294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 30, 2023, 09:25:22 PM
Regarding Mohammed Kudus i have watching him while he playing with Ghana national team at world cup last year and he was very impressive and skillful so i have no doubt this summer he will linked to several big clubs but i bit surprised because he choose West Ham than Manchester United or Liverpool but recently Mohammed Kudus has heen spoke to the public when he choose West Ham instead of those teams because he likes West Ham long term project which is focused to the development of young players and besides that at West Ham his chances to playing regularly is wide open and West Ham have to spend 45 millions to gets him and he will gets 5 years contract with West Ham
He's pretty much like Sadio Mane who's solo carrying his national team, yeah he might not able to be included in starting line up if he join Manchester United and Liverpool. Since he's still young, he obviously want to learn many thing and develop his skill, this can be a stepping stone for him to join big team and they will consider to put him in starting line up. I hope he will join Arsenal if his performance is good in this season.

Now WestHam seems to be the right choice for Mohammed Kudus and it is also his dream to play in the Europa League. even though he missed Manchester United and Liverpool, it didn't make Kudus regret it. He is a talented player and yes, as you said, he is similar to Sadio Mane who played solo for the national team. But regarding your predictions about whether he is suitable for Arsenal, we can only see how his game develops. If he becomes a productive player then other big clubs will be increasingly interested.
295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: History of Gambling From Ancient Times to the Digital Age on: August 30, 2023, 03:53:12 PM
All these games are well known but we see that the modern time gets the most used game and most successful game of every casino which is slot machines.The slots are only created in the late 80-s and I mean the modern ones as before we may had classic versions with not many options.Since then though slots have taken the gambling world by storm and still continues to do so,if we see the slot providers they provide 2-3 new games weekly.In old and ancient times people were limited yet they were creative in creating all these games which for me I only find them nostalgic as I don't play any of them except a form of poker which is Texas Holdem poker.

Slots and Poker are eternal gambling games that will never disappear and continue to keep up with the times. I mostly play Slots just for fun with a few pennies so I don't worry about losing. Now slot games are very diverse with various themes and rules and different ways of playing. The more diverse and make players more addicted. Modern times like today are an era where the world of online casinos is growing rapidly. Many online casinos thrive by providing a wide range of sports betting and games and more. You just need to choose which one is the best and guaranteed.
296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Constant wins in the casino for several days, then constant losses. Noticed?! on: August 30, 2023, 03:11:45 PM
That is completely normal on the long run. There are loss and winning streaks which can be really long. Someone playing for several years in a frequent basis will surely face those two kinds of streaks from times to times. It doesn't mean the house is cheating in anyways. If you are suspicious about a casino in particular you have to investigate deeper and bring further evidence to sustain your claims, otherwise it's just gambling working as it was supposed to be.

It looks normal because the casino system has been set in such a way that the casino will get a lot of benefits. Those who have been players for a long time and already understand winning and losing streaks will research how they can overcome such a system. But for those who are new, this will really play with their mentality. Winning streaks may look like a lot of fun, but losing streaks can stress out gamblers and make them want to keep gambling until they win. Big, well-known casinos such as Duelbit or other casinos will not commit fraudulent actions because they already have a good reputation.
297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do the size and frequency of online casino winnings depend on the time of year? on: August 30, 2023, 02:40:27 PM
I guess it's just a myth for some gamblers because they will keep gambling no matter how many times they will win. And if they win, they will also come back to play again because their instinct as gamblers is always to want to return to gambling. It has become a habit. And because they always return to the casino, it is difficult for them to know when they can get lucky by winning the game. When betting on sports, certain events can give them bigger wins because they can get better information than other events. But it also depends on how the gambler can get information that can give him a chance to win.

But if a gambler feels he can win a lot in certain months, he should only play gambling in those months. Dan will not play gambling outside of those months because he can get defeated.

Does it really matter when the time to play is right so you can get a big win?
I don't think that will happen, because the casino developers have already built the cryptosystem the way they want. If there is a certain time, maybe it has already been set and it will also change when there is another system update. Sports betting may be more realistic, there are several predictions or analyses that can be done so it doesn't always depend on luck and a certain time. Each supported team will have a 50:50 chance of winning and it also depends on whose team is the most superior in terms of performance and game skill.
298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: August 29, 2023, 05:42:01 PM
It's unusual to see such a performance from Atlético, and the Vallecano area is not the kind of team that can lose by a big score. The next matches will show how good Atlético are because they have three rounds to play against difficult opponents, Sevilla, Valencia and Real Madrid. But for Atlético, such a big victory is an exception, in the first round they played 0-0 with Betis, it's just more like Atlético.
You could even say that this is the first time that Atletico Madrid have managed to beat an opponent with a large enough score and it is extraordinary that goals have been scored by six different players, only Morata has managed to score two goals. This big victory could not be separated from the impressive performance of the Atletico Madrid players who launched non-stop attacks in the early minutes of the match, making it very difficult for Rayo Vallecano's defense to keep pace with Atletico Madrid's game.

This happened unexpectedly and if you look at their performance in the first and second weeks, Atletico Madrid's performance was not as good. Vice versa if you look at Rayo Vallecano's performances in the previous two matches and they are also not a team that easily concedes with big scores like in the match, even in the previous two matches Rayo Vallecano swept away wins against Almeria and Granada.

I actually did not want to say this, because I generally do not talk trash about any goalkeeper because they do that hardest work, and playing as a goalkeeper is actually really hard compared to playing as an outfield player, because if you make a mistake, you will be remembered for it, it does not matter how many great saves you make. But the goalkeeper of Rayo was pretty horrible in this match.

Of course, the defending was also absolutely trash from them. It was just a bad overall performance. And I also definitely agree that this is a type of performance that we generally do not see from Atletico Madrid. And unlike the goalkeeper of Rayo the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper performed well. He made some reliable saves and did not even let the ball loose, he actually caught them.

7 goals without reply certainly made Atletico Madrid win a landslide victory without a fight. It was so easy to score against Rayo, and this is history for Atletico Madrid to be able to win with that much goal difference. On Rayo's goalkeeper who can't seem to keep the ball from Atletico Madrid it certainly looks terrible.
Stole Dimitrievski, the 29-year-old player, is the goalkeeper for Rayo Vallecano who joined in 2019 ago and the contract will end in June 2024. In less than 1 year, his contract will expire, but because he conceded 7 goals in yesterday's match, it is a bad record for him. in 1 match conceded 7 goals will be unforgettable

^Why you are using VPNs if a casino is allowed in your country? Or you can freely open the website.
I currently making an account on Stake.com and I read the TOS which is you are right about, there is no state there regarding VPN but I think if you are in the US you can use VPN based on many articles that I have read.
I asked the Stake.com team regarding this and this is what I have got, they strongly discourage using VPNs.

Reading TOS is much better before using the casino.

There are game providers that block a country even though the player is not in a restricted region.  That is the reason for some players why they use VPN. But as for me, I won't dare to use a VPN just to access a certain game provider.  It is better to be safe than sorry.


Yes, it's better to look for games or online casino places that allow our country to open without a VPN. But if the country where we live has been banned, then just stay away, and blacklist from the list of places to play, it will be safer. because there are still plenty of places to play safely according to the Tos. Even casino providers provide a special domain when the domain normally used is blocked by the ISP of the local country.

Gambling addicts need some help and unfortunately, they cannot help themselves to get out of the cycle without the help of others. It will take time because an addict will always seek what he is accustomed of but he or she needs to endure so that sooner, he can pull himself or herself together and start living normally.

For the boy who just turned 18 years old, he might've been a responsible gambler but he is still in a risky position because at that age, he will still have some hardships weighing the situation which in turn make a bad decision in life. It's still to soon for him to take this path and it's best for him to find another hobby because he is still studying.

The gambling addict need of some fortune to get some win and get away from the gambling.After the win only he can get some stable mind,the win may change the gambling addict to the normal person.Most of the gamblers become a gambling addict after some continuous loss or continuous win.When they had good fortune,the gambler will win all the game.So the winning money will be huge.Some gamblers get more greedy to earn more dollars or to multiple their winnings and may plan to withdrew the funds.But some times,it may work and he withdrew the more dollars.

But will luck be on his side? Because gambling addicts can only play and keep playing. They don't care about anything. Continuous defeats actually make addicts addicted to placing bigger bets until their money runs out. When they win a game, they will do it again with bigger stakes, hoping to hit the jackpot. it will not stop and they will only get worse. the victory that should have been able to give him an advantage, was instead returned to gambling and finally lost and got nothing.
