All the winners in the OP's example were spending from 30 cents to $50, not big money for anyone living in the West. So, it wasn't a "biggest risk", if you ask me.
This formula, "the more money you can potentially win, the higher the amount you have to put at risk", is true when you are betting on Red/Black in Roulette, but in slots and lottery, it doesn't work like that.
They spent small money, but we know just about money they used for winning. I think that they spent more money without winning. But you`re right about the risk, if we are talking about the bet. If we can know the chance of such a win for a such sum - the percent will be really scanty. You mean, they spent more money than the jackpot amount? More than $18 million, or $40 million? I don't think so. There are a lot of such cases among slot players. When they win, say, $1k, we all know that they have probably lost more than that previously. But with slots or lottery jackpots it's rarely the case. People normally don't have such money. |

After the initiation of Faucet where traders were gifted 5 btc each,
5 btc is quite a lot now, reading this is making me wish I was one of the beneficiaries. I was curious after reading this and made some research of my own to see if this early bitcoin exchange faucet developed into another current day exchange, but couldn't find any information to that end. Any information on that? I would bet a dollar you would have sold all your btc at the first all time high  ,~ That's what I heard too. Many of the early adopters sold everything they had at the point of the price reaching like 50x or 100x compared to what it was when they first entered the game. I can't blame them, I would surely do exactly the same thing. Only now I know that when dealing with BTC, it is better to not sell everything at once. Keep 20%, at least, just in case it will cost much more in 2 years than the 80% you are selling today. |

Hey Bitcointalkers,
What games do you like to play (mobile, board games, easy game with friends, etc.) that you would love to see put into an online casino for real betting?
There have been a lot of successful yet simple games in online casinos like Heads or Tails, Over/Under, and more. We are looking to see what games you guys love and wonder if we can turn them into an online betting game!
I think monopoly will be more interesting if it is used as a part of betting, because as we know monopoly is a fairly easy game and where every player can face each other in a player vs player game. so the level of prowess and luck will appear real this is just hope Imo, monopoly is a great game for friends and relatives, who came together to spend time just to relax. It's important to sit around one table, in real life, for this board game. But they used to say the same things about poker, and look at online poker now. So, who knows? |

I'm not certain if the proposed Akon City in africa, linked to the cryptocurrency akoin, ~ I think it's not linked to akoin. If you google it, you get this result:  and I personally believe it. ~
There are interesting and innovative ideas being proposed. The saudi arabia project is constructed around a mass transit length of rail. Built above the surface of the desert like a skyscraper. Elon Musk has discussed building a city devoted towards space exploration in texas. I was hoping UAE dubai and middle eastern real estate development would explore the viability of building cities underground to save on insulation and cooling costs. That seems like a natural progression. Interestingly enough, no one seems to like the idea.
~
Although it is very likely that a "paradise on Earth" won't be built with just following those innovative ideas, I think it's a good thing that talented people keep trying to do such things. Often, the ideas, when developed, can serve other purposes, making this world a better place. |

Newcastle.. so close yet so far. This table is shaping up to be super interesting, Arsenal to lift the trophy in the end?  I thought the same for Newcastle,judging from the great performances so far from them and from the poor performances of Wolves I did put them as winners in the predictor. I bet on Wolves win, 2-1, and wrong too. And yet, 19 people from our pool made a perfect pick, earning 3 points with that, and 3 others predicted 0-0, which was close. Good job, guys! Also I never thought a West Ham win would be possible but they did it finally and got out of the last place in the standings,they even had a very good odd to bet on them at 4 which I think very very few people did. And here I was among those few predicting West Ham win:  Very proud of myself.  If only Nottingham held on to that 0-1 scoreline it would've been a nice recovery for me to end the round but still happy with how it ended. I had a bad start going down almost 10 spots at the start of the round and then going back up a few spots thanks to that draw on the Newcastle game.  That was the only 3 pointer for me in this round  so I can't remain silent about it. |

I am very curious to know how people are playing Slots.
Option A : Do you play one slot for a long time, until you hit the feature or until you win something big?
~
Yes, most of the time I'm trying to play like this, but it's not like I'm hitting something big in the end all the time. Sometimes, after losing 4-5 times more than I can easily afford to lose, I stop without reaching my goal. I would be very surprised to read about someone's always achieving their goal. |

Another round of Sportsbet's Premier League Predictor on Superbru, and although I hit EXACT in the very last game,  it didn't improve my position  What I like to see, when I click "VIEW FULL LEADERBOARD" here to see where the hell I am,  is that this time we have 60+ participants. I remember like in the last EPL Predictor we were struggling to get 50+, but ended up having 48 only. So, our numbers are growing. And that's good thing. Overall I see that many people from Sportsbet's BitcoinTalk Pool are very good with their predictions, being either exact or close to the correct result. Wondering, if you, guys, are in some other pools too, how are you doing there? |

Hi guys, quick note... 6 more predictions for our Bitcoin Predictor in > Games and rounds today and it's this year's record participation  Do you think it's possible? I actually expect more predictions to come in today. -Karl from Bitcasino So, as I see, 9 more predictions were made after your post and before August 24th, 23:59 GMT. Congrats with this year's record participation! But the year is not over yet, and I wish you a new record each month ahead! It's possible because Bitcoin Predictor is an amazing promo. |

In fact, games on gambling platforms are quite conservative and I don't think that too complex game engines will be available in the near future, since a winning game should not last long and have some kind of complex plot.
I disagree. If the only purpose of gambling was earning money with it, then you'd be right, and we would not need other games than a simplest version of dice. And, indeed, for some gamblers it is like this, and they play dice games only. But the vast majority of gamblers are looking both for winning money and getting entertainment. And for them complex plot is a must. |

I went with the link to eBay which you provided, and there's nothing there except some paper garbage with Trump on it, that is not legal tender. But, indeed, there were large-denomination banknotes issued in the USA, you can see all of them following the link below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_denominations_of_United_States_currencyAnd, yeah, you are right, today they cost much more than their denomination 
As for removal of $100 bills from circulation, it will never happen. Not in our lifetime anyway. |

Freedom of speech is not absolute. Google it. So, to keep order in our society, we have to give up our freedom to say some things. Same here with KYC on gambling sites. In order to stop money laundering, financing of terrorism and some other bad stuff we agree to give up some of our privacy. Just a little bit of it, actually. Because no one is gonna see your KYC data unless there is a police warrant.
I tend to agree since more and more we're already losing privacy due to governments, anyone even posted his address and where's his live in social media lol. I mean, they're self exposing their privacy and I think it's already become a normal habit due to flex life style. I don't think there's so much difference between centralized exchanges and casinos, after all it's had relation with crypto. If anyone really had 100% privacy concern, why they're playing on centralized casino? Maybe we are not there yet, but I think in the future , trying to avoid gambling platforms with KYC can be dangerous. Scammers will be trying to exploit this, almost irrational, fear of losing privacy, offering platforms with no KYC. ~ Because no one is gonna see your KYC data unless there is a police warrant.
KYC has been major concern in the crypto space because people want to be anonymous so they were playing in this crypto world but then under the AML policies and all that stuff KYC was implemented so if we continue to gamble then we have to comply with the rules of that casino but this is threat to our privacy if some data breach happen our information is at risk and who knows when they see the documents.I'm not trying to say that there's no risk, but normally your KYC data is encrypted, as far as I know. |

~ Btw, how did you mange to take a look at the 60th round? The oldest I can get is LOTTERY ROUND 325.
Most probably he used the mobile version where you can add the homepage of Freebitco.in as some app.Every time I check right after the lottery has been drawn it shows the 60th round for me too. That is plain luck and I doubt anyone of us at the forum here will ever have such luck to hit the top prize of the weekly lottery. I finally have stopped completely buying even a single lottery ticket and these last rounds from WoF spins I have had nearly 1500-2000 tickets every week but of course as always without winning anything. Yeah, since some time ago I'm getting my lottery tickets only from the WoF spins. I'm not buying them(although I used to in the past) and I've even disabled getting free lottery tickets with my free rolls in favour of Reward Points. ~
It also shows that a lottery is purely based on luck. You get have millions of tickets and still not be able to win any prize. Before the WOF spins, I would always buy 1 lottery ticket as you never know that you would really get lucky.
Yes, although the chances are very small, it is much better to have just one ticket than none. If I had had zero tickets for a lottery round, I'd buy one, but normally I have hundreds of them from my WoF spins. |

~ So if you play a Slot with a good house edge / RTP.... you can play a lot longer and get some small wins on a more frequents basis. I do not play long on those type of Slots.... I win something small.... and jump to the next Slot... and repeat this.. until I have acquired a decent bankroll ... to move to the high variance Slots. It's true, but it doesn't mean your win, even just a small one, is guaranteed when you play slots with "good" RTP. If it were so, if among thousands of slots just only one was such that allowed you to gradually win small amounts, it would be a money making machine. You could just put it on autoplay and do some other activities, while your bankroll would be growing little by little. |

You are right, there are always many referrals that are achieved through social networks, although I know that through Facebook and I think that Twitter no longer allows the use of these links, I understand that to put it they have to have a simplified link but it seems to me that it does too they have limited it in that sense, sometimes it is better because the amount of spam in social networks was unique. Not sure about twitters policies regarding this matter but am certain Facebook does not allow referral links and will not allow you to post the same comment or post multiple times. In my opinion, promoting your referral links on social media platforms doesn't seem like a good idea and will be just a waste of time. If you want active referrals then better promote your links on gambling related blogs and forums and if possible, start your own review website. True, competing with the platforms own ads is likely to get you trouble, if not banned. Curious that those same platforms are notoriously manipulative of the users and do admit a wide range of advertisers that are certainly not carefully (nor probably uncarefully checked) and have been known to use public names and figures without consent to promote scams. I think it's not about competing with a platform's own ads. Promoting online gambling can be either prohibited or requiring a prior written permission of the platform owners. If you see public figures promoting scams on the same platforms, it only means that the advertisers have cheated the platform's algorithms, and their ads will be there until reported. |

1. Be sure to check out which games they offer and compare each game's house edge.
~
I agree , more or less, with every tip of yours, I just want to say that according to my observations the significance of the quoted line above is highly overestimated by some gamblers. Take, for example, a game that has just 1% house edge. Should we play only such games instead of those with 2% house edge and higher? I don't think so. It's only if you had an army of gamblers, a million of them, under your direction, and your collective task was to win as much as possible(or, rather, to lose as less as possible), then looking for games with the lowest house edge would be a great idea. For a single player, it doesn't affect his performance that much. |

I believe it all depends on "alt" we are talking about. The problem with the word altcoin is that it consists of everything from ethereum and bnb to all the smaller ones that are not even in the top 1000 of CMC right now and even ones that are not even listed there. So, that means when we are talking about alts, we are talking about a vast one and I agree that majority of them would shrink it, but the ones like ETH would probably not cause that.
This is why I personally try to make sure that we do not invest into silly stuff that could be a scam, but we would definitely invest into high level top 5 ones that could go on to be major players like bitcoin in our future.
If Bitcoin price stabilizes at some point in the future, as many of us in this thread expect, then those coins in the top 5(I think it's pretty safe to say "in the top 10" even) will become more attractive to day traders. And unlike those coins you've mentioned that are not even in the top 1,000 on CMC, coins from the top 10 have low chances of being a scam. |

Well no words, another time were Manchester United defeat their derby opponent, its unbelieve how they mannaged to win this kind of match but they cant defeat lower tier teams.
I was expected a tought match, and for that i was put a 2-1 in Liverpool favour, but this..... incredible, its a hillarious team.
My pick was 1-3 in Liverpool's favour. Well, what I like about the "You'll never walk alone" song, is that it is suitable regardless of whether Liverpool won or lost. So, as an LFC fan, especially after a game was lost, I go to this video on YouTube  and it feels so good watching it . We still have a lot of time until May 28, 2023, and I'm rooting for Liverpool taking the top position in the end. |
