I guess you should mention how the site/sites scammed you... maybe this forum members will help you with useful advice. And I think the advice could even help you know whether you were truly scammed or not. Have you checked to know the country the betting site is based? That should help you find the contact address (phone number, email etc) of the country's regulators to lay your complain.

I mean Proof Stake (PoS) that places huge Stake limit on those who want to become Validators. It will favour the few who have powers over the printing of centralized currencies like fiats. The PoS is like handing community power back to those who controls this opaque and centralized currencies/world. They include those some activists call bankster or something. Such PoS is a kind of takeover mechanism built into lots crypto for the hidden centralized powers(knowingly or unknowingly). If fiat currencies are not that transparent, then bear in mind that they could be abused and printed limitlessly for the buying up of PoS coins for consensus/governance. And the so called banksters (who most likely know themselves) could become the validators of "Decentralized" Network. They(instead of all community members) will control the Network. This is crafty way of centralizing and controlling a Network

I am not too worried about tokens/coins getting concentrated in few hands, assuming the token getting dumped in the future is why people are worried. I think you can put some kind of mechanisms in places to prevent the prices from "dumping" as a result of massive sell-off by whales.
What I worry mostly about is Consensus/Governance limited to such big holders. That is very wrong and dangerous.
By the way, if you could encourage/incentivize users to create and spend on thriving self-sustaining markets/ecosystem, a token/coin will be dumped less. I think this should be one of the most important part of many of such mechanisms to be put in place to prevent people from selling their coins

Community/stakeholders owned protocol is not the only thing that matters. What can the project do that is unique and better? Is it just a clone of the original project... perhaps with little modification, for the sake of making money? Or do want to make things better and unique without compromising on the crypto decentralization standards/principles?

I wonder what will become of the so called Blockchain patents If Satoshi had patented Blockchain/Bitcoin? Maybe in the future the cryptocurrency communities that are based on Bitcoin/satoshi principles will organize and defend their rights from people who will try to sue them for copying a technology that is meant to be free and open source. Well, I think such patents will unlikely stop public projects/communities that are well decentralized. Decentralization is different ideal/concept from their world of centralization.

Would have recommended herbs to people who don't like the "artificial drugs". Certain herbs(from tree, plants...) work wonders in my body (very quick relief). You will be surprised how quick/effective the green plants/leaves you see around in abundance can heal illnesses. It'll takes good research and "intuition" to know what works well for you and how to use it.
Eating/drinking healthy, taking such herbs and working hard help alot. And it's important to know how to eat/drink to avoid undisirable side effects of certain food/drink combinations. Mine is usually Bad foods/drinks = bad side effects.... Bad foods/drinks + good foods/drinks = bad side effects.

Spider betting is just a normal game and sometimes it's called a kid's game because there are many kids in the province playing that game. Betting on spider game makes the game thrill, similar to cockfighting and I know that it's still illegal because they're just kids.
But in this case, social distancing is the main problem, not the spider betting because we aren't allowed to have a social gathering.
Well, as long as it doesn't involve encouraging the creatures to fight and kill each other and then betting on the event. Maybe "spider racing" will be tolerable. Oh, so the raiding is just about Social Distancing and not that they bet on spiders? We should be aware that we have different cultures and norms.
Ofcourse, we all have! But not all our norms and cultures are good. None of the worldly cultures that currently exist has more "good way of life" than bad.

Template looks very similar to other casino we seen here like EarnBET. I was looking for the game "who wnats to be a millionare" unfortuntely one has to register to see it. https://chips.gg/casino/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-microgamingFound out there is also DEAL or NO DEAL which is fun. If they make it easy to login without registering emails I guess they can easily get users. The "Who want to be a Millionaire" interest me the most, but the "gamble" made me to be cautious. I wonder how much is needed to participate or bet in the quiz game, what kind of questions they ask and how many bets is required in a single session? Would be interesting if it's nice quiz... something suitable for even children

If you can't verify their results then it is a scam probably considered as cheating but its legal or illegal depends on their origin.But if it a reputed crypto site then you can ruin their reputation if you provide valid proofs or people will consider you as troll.
It's illegal to run a scam casino everywhere in the world and it's universal rule lmao. Even if casinos were legal in a country doesn't mean scam casinos are legal. So technically, a scam casino is illegal everywhere but a legit casino will be illegal or legal depending on the jurisdiction of the country. I think a licensed casino is assumed to have met the right standards required for casinos to be registered in any country. Such licensed casino could even go as far as following the best standards available outside of the host country's required standards. And there is the possibility of a casino that meets the required host country's standards going below the standards or avoiding best practices... that could be considered a scam. So it's possible that licensed scam casino will exist if regulators are not doing very good job.

I was thinking about something close to the topic some month ago. I was wondering why don't humans use more of nature to solve their problems instead of using mostly man-made and unsustainable things. You could even get most of the birds in your community's airspace to wear small cameras and internet relay devices for the good of their owners below who feed and take good care of them. We guarantee them abundant foods, good health etc in exchange for the beaming down internet and surveillance camera videos/images.

That is why I also consider external limiting feature to reduce our losses in gambling. Especially if we don't have someone to provide advice for us.
I learned self-control by having as much as many hobbies as my time permits me to do so and do an extreme time-management thing for myself. That, perhaps, is my limiting factor in gambling and it has been working pretty well I must say. I am living alone and I haven't been into a serious gambling spree thankfully and it seems that I wouldn't develop such an inclination towards an activity since I am always engaged in a lot of things. Well I always lose $100 a month in dice. I am okay to forego the amount though if you think about it, that's $1200 in a year that could have been put into good use but whatever.. Im not really fan on totaling my loss in annual basis as long i havent able to spend such amount nor presume that it would really be a fixed amount because it would really be having some changes along the way. It isnt really needed to have that external limiting feature because you can make yourself to be in controlled if you are really aware on what you are doing even if you do have lots of things to be done or not as long you are aware that you are spending that much into things which arent really worth to spend on then thats the time you do make such immediate action. If failed to do so then think back on whats the matter or mistake then try to realize and presume things on what would happen if you do let yourself do continue to have this bad habit. Such limiting features could be more suitable for frequent "big" bettors who aren't consistently profitable in their bets. It could also be used to prevent people from betting what they can't afford to lose aka gambling, or better still prevent people from taking too much betting risks

If the casino is not using a strict health protocol, the new case will increase than before, and that will make the government difficult to handle the people. Every country uses that too because the government doesn't want to see the new case every day, but people still don't care about their health. We see that many people disobey the health protocol, and they always need to remind by the officials, and the officials always searching for people who don't obey the rule.
We need to follow the health protocols to prevent the virus infection, and that is what we need to do when we are in the public area and the crowd. We need to survive before the vaccine can be found.
If the supermarkets, saloons.etc are open, then it doesn't make sense to continue with the suspension of casino operations. All the business establishments are supposed to follow the strict protocols established by the government authorities. And regarding the customers, it is up to them to maintain social distancing and to follow preventive measures such as wearing of masks. The government has done all that can be done. Now it is up to the general population to play their part. Perhaps the governments do not see much good in the Casinos considering the problems and low/bad value contents lots of them add to society. I think if you have good casinos that are filled with good games, encourage responsible betting and help make their customers better people, the governments will see little to no reason to keep them closed

Betting on Lower odds is a good strategy but you should be careful and know your timing when you should not bet. Because it is also a big risk especially since you can lose a lot. It is better to study each team first so that you know who is better than them so that you have an idea who will win.
I think if alot of time is put into researching & and understanding competiting teams, bettors could make a headway with large occasional bets, than say betting frequently with little to no understanding of the competiting teams. They could spend a whole month (for example) researching and understanding the teams that will be involved in future matches, then bet something reasonable, depending on how good & confident the bettors are

Both are names that are common in Crypto space. And people seem to misunderstand the concept or get confused when they are both promoted/discussed. Permissionless is not Zero Permission... it simply is "Permission is Less". Same as Trustless - It is not Zero Trust... It simply is "Trust is Less" ✴ Let's Apply both Concept to a Decentralized Christain Community/Forum to Help You Understand Them more: Assuming such Community or Forum exists and new people want to join, they are allowed to join with small/verylittle Permission (maybe they just need to click few things, solve puzzles, register with only name & password etc) and they join automatically. The Permissionless applies as long as the new members do not break any serious/important rules of the Community. If they do, they will be suspended from the community, and may now be require to go through more Permission to ever be able to post or use the forum again. Same applies to Trustlessness. The Community/Forum doesn't need to apply too much Trust for interested people who wish to join... We assume they are going to be good members of the community. But they will probably need to be Brandnew users of the whole Decentralized Network (no bad or good reputation), or have fair reputation "score" from other good Communities within the Decentralized Network. The Trustlessness applies as long as the new members do not break any serious/important rules of the Christian Community. If they do, they will be suspended from the community, and will now require more Trust to ever be able to post or use the forum again. This^ mostly is how truely Decentralized Networks/Systems (which includes decentralized apps) should operate. ✴ However, Trust and Permission could increase for people with lots of responsibilities on Decentralized Networks /Systems... People who wish to be entrusted with lots of responsibilities could be required to have consistently good records, reputations, merits, morals, etc. Their real private information (such as, home address, full names, DoB, Nationality etc) could aswell be used/staked. Such Private info should be encrypted/hidden for the sake of the security/safety of the owners. It will be unwise/dangerous to expose people's private information to people who could abuse/misuse them. It's either people with strong morals, (trusted mostly by trusted/moral members of the community) should transparently verify and get the private info encrypted/hidden OR you just assume that no one can be trusted, and instead get multiple people with good reputation to verify and encrypt different parts of the info. The encrypted Private Information will need to be held(securely) on shared/decentralized network. If you understand/see Trustlessness or Permissionless this way^, the confusion will reduce and you will know that both concepts are good and natural to mankind. ——————————————————————————— ✳Edit: Added⏬ (11/9/2020) Related Post:Permissionless/Trustless or Permission-minimized/Trust-minimized https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5287793.msg55551891#msg55551891

Well, I have decided not to touch any coin/token that is not well decentralized, not very secure, not very useful etc The Uniswap token was abit tempting at first but I have decided to ignore it because I don't know much about it... whether it is according to the standard I'm looking for or not. If we all get the airdrop without this important information, it will likely encourage others to behave like Uniswap in the future. Just hope it's exactly what I expect. The exchange sounds fair to me though. Just not sure about the governance token & exactly how it works

In my opinion, a well decentralized Bitcoin/crypto will hardly be affected by major crisis as long as people still organize into communities. They will definitely need some sort of money or medium of exchange without the traditional fiat currencies existing or close to them. One of the most important ways to use a well decentralized currency without the usual internet is to use it on a localized internet network and probably print the coins out on things like papers and use them like you would use today's paper currencies. This is not just a theory, it can be done. Afterall, crisis or even war-like crisis is why decentralized currency like Bitcoin was invented. It's important to make sure it lives up to expectation. And I think it will certainly do, with better decentralization.

Teams staying anonymous does not mean they should not have their true private-ID verified (and hidden somewhere). The important thing is the verification of the identities of those working on very important/delicate/sensitive projects.... They can then use pseudonyms tied to the verified private identities in public spaces. The private identities of the teams will definitely need to be hidden/encrypted, in immutable forms, for access to the public or security agencies when they do something bad.
Staying anonymous should be optional, by the way. If most or some members of a team prefer not to have their pictures and other private information in public space, we should respect that. If others prefer to have this things in public, we respect that too,as long as the anonymous ones are not forced to be like the non-anonymous ones Maybe we can have some sort of tags (or checkmarks) on their profiles that show that their real identities have been verified by recognized professionals/organizations who are good at online identity verification. The tag would be on their profiles whether they are anonymous or not... and that should be enough.
By the way I would prefer a decentralized anonymous team members (with lots of responsibilities/powers) that have verified identities... And be a bit suspicious/uncomfortable with team members that have their real identities in public. My problem with the latter is that they can be kidnapped or used by bad actors to attack their projects or do their bidding

Ofcourse! Almost thesame rate in Crypto trading in order to be considered a successful trader... People would sometimes say it is impossible to be a successful trader, but when you do your learning and research (talent also helps), you discover it's not that difficult to be profitable. So I can relate with the experience.
* I'm not really that interested in sport-betting yet. I will probably try betting in other areas i won't abandon easily due to unprofitablity or lack of interest.
Yes, I need to add that the win rate alone does not tell much. That's why I stress balance/money management so much to be successfull. To explain, I take the following example: Bet A won # Stake 1mBTC # Odds 1.5 # Profit 0.5 mBTC Bet B won # Stake 1mBTC # Odds 1.3 # Profit 0.3 mBTC Bet C lost # Stake 1mBTC # Odds 2.1 # Profit -1.0 mBTC There you have a win rate of 66%. Wow, amazing! But your overall profit is -0.2mBTC. Ofcourse. So, in that case, what matters is the overall profits, and not a single profit on multiple bets. It looks a bit challenging though. I guess it's better to focus on bets one is very sure of winning (with good research/info) and increase the stake for bets. That could ease the risk of not being profitable overall
