301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling still pays regardless of our losses on: March 01, 2024, 04:18:58 PM
So I brought this topic to let us know that in gambling, if you just play it as though you don't take it seriously whether you win or lose then you might surprisingly win an amount that will amaze you one day and it would look as if you're smart or you know how to predict the outcome of events and in most cases, when a gambler wins they doesn't really care much about their previous losses regardless of the amount they won.

As it has been said many times, gambling life is full of ups and downs. When we win we forget about all the previous losses and we think that our time has come... until we lose again. It's a magic circle, and many of us are trapped there. I guess only some huge win or huge loss can get us out of there.

I think it's pretty simple actually. We win & lose in gambling, but chances for winning something are there as long as we continue to play... once we stop playing the chances for winning will disappear. But that trying and playing should be in a responsible manner, if we can't risk some money we shouldn't play at all.

...
But should a pastor should be gambling? Pastor need to be leading by example...

I think you are right, a Pastor needs to lead by example if he truly believes in what he preaches, but I know that many religious persons think/believe in one thing and do the other. So it all comes down to one thing, we are all human, and we all have passions. Maybe this Pastor is in confrontation with his beliefs and his actions, but it's on him.

I am not a believer, at least not in some traditional/most spread religions. So I don't have this kind of conflict in my heart, I think that everything we do is ok & fine as long we don't hurt people around us.
303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: February 29, 2024, 09:49:41 PM
logically if the business is not profitable then it will go bankrupt, and in my opinion casinos will get more profits from their customers, and moreover it can be compared with companies and their staff which of course have companies that receive more profits

While some casinos go bankrupt others are striving and making big bucks. I'm not sure if we can check anywhere how many casinos there are in the world, how many of them go bankrupt every year, and how many of them are making a big profit, I guess it's even trickier to follow up some stats on crypto casinos.

So who is winning more... I would say casinos! If it were otherwise there would be more winners around and fewer casinos! Simple as that... Smiley

...
however, my question here now is : is gambling restricted to some certain kind of individuals or class?  or is there any stratification when it comes to playing gambling ?please your opinions here here will actually quench my curiosity.

We have had many similar threads here... Religion or government restrictions, or maybe your wife/girl/parents don't allow you to gamble, whatever it is we have discussed it before. So I am not sure what you really want to know here...

Anyway, since you brought it up I have a few questions for you... Does anyone forbid you to gamble? And who? Do you gamble and do you get some satisfaction from that? Or you gamble only to make a quick profit? What is your perception about gambling and how free you are to share that with us...

Last week, and I think the winner will be decided in a photo finish! Once again I expected more participants, it's the free "GOSUBETTING Tipster Challenge", anyone could join. All we had to do was to predict the result of some games from the top leagues.

Well, good luck to all the participants. We have a lot of time to make predictions for the next round! Smiley

...all the earnings photos are available, there is a time difference between us, the shots I took, the investments, I will send them all.

You should have shown all that in the first post, I think we all know the saying "Pictures are worth a thousand words". Like this, we have just your own words, and to be honest they are not worth much at this point. I am not taking any sides, but you decided to accuse a casino, and to do that you need to present some evidence except your words.

From $30 to $32k is crazy, and definitely, it's not something we see every day. If that happened to me I would have a lot of screenshots about my wins and correspondence with casino support.

Well, if you have some screenshots I would like to see them before I decide to trust your words.
307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: February 28, 2024, 10:22:53 PM
you need to remember that gambling is just for fun, if you feel uncomfortable gambling it is better for you to stop immediately, don't gamble just to chase wins, but do it as entertainment

Well, you are 101% right. People should remember that gambling is here just for fun & excitement, but how many people actually gamble just for that? We all put profit before everything else, it's what we think about when we gamble, but some people chase wins and for recovery of previous losses, that's the wrong path that usually leads to even bigger/deeper losses.

It's hard to come to this point where gambling is just fun & games. That doesn't happen over night, that comes with experience, and sometimes (for many of us) that experience is not cheap.
308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Support, do not criticize. on: February 28, 2024, 09:36:57 PM
If you know anybody trying to stop the addiction of gambling to become better for themselves and their family, try and show them support by not criticizing them. If you observe that they experience some kind of relapse and go back to gamble even when they said they were not going to gamble, try to encourage them to remember why they wanted to stop gambling for the time. It is not an easy decision for some of them to make, and even imagining that they will never gamble again can make it worse for them, most of them need all the support they can get to help them maintain the decision to give gambling some time away. If you criticize and mock them, they may nurse in the heart the mindset that gambling is impossible to stop, or even stop trying to stop gambling because you have already made them feel like they can never do it.

I agree that people who are "down" need support, but that support is different for all of us. We can't generalize this... Each of us has a different character, for some people, a "softer" approach is better than a "harder" approach. So while some people need some gentle approach and sweet talk to change their mind, some people need to be criticized and maybe even have a tougher approach. Understanding someone's psychology is not easy and simple, usually, we need to take some steps before we learn what works better... I guess that means knowing someone deeply and how that someone thinks and reacts is crucial for making/creating the best approach.

This is what I see when I click your link... I looked you up through Google, and from there I could access your site and see more about your casino. I like the retro look, but I think the wheel can look much better. Anyway, it's nice for the start.

I like your promotion, I will try to make 36k Roul1 with a 10k starting balance. I see that one member already won, so good luck to everyone trying to win this one.
310  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲BetFury.io| 💸Join BetFury Crypto Staking |🔥Get the highest APRs up to 170% on: February 28, 2024, 07:22:38 PM
I doubt that we will see BFG rising up in price, so definitely it's better to stake it for other coins... at least those other coins have a higher chance for some future rise in price.

In comparison with many other crypto currencies BFG performed extremely well and you get on top % return so it's not such a bad investment.

Well, I can't say if it's a good or bad investment, investors are the ones who can say more about it, after all, they probably invest in other things as well so they can make some comparisons. I am just a player and I earned my BFG's (and lost many of them) simply by wagering on the site. From that point of view, BFG is great, we have some passive income over time, I guess we can say like some "extended rakeback".

By the way, I am sure many of you spin that Fury Wheel once or twice per day, did you ever win something nice? Or like me you are just winning 100 SHIB, 5000 BTT (NEW), and rarely 3 BFG?

I'm glad that the casino is doing something to boost the token's price. Perhaps this initiative won't immediately affect the price of BFG. But if Betfury continues to come up with more initiatives to increase the token's price and doesn't stop there, then it's quite possible that sooner or later they will find a way to raise the price of BFG and please us. I hope Betfury will continue to cater to BFG holders and come up with new initiatives that will positively impact the token's price.

A solution like this will just lessen the sell pressure but not gonna boost the price. The price boost still relies to new investors or if current holders buy more just to lock their tokens for a year.

Voting is already over and this proposal is already approved. Here’s the summary of what’s gonna happened now with BFG tokens.

X2 APR for lock BFG tokens for 1 year.

The feature of decreasing circulating supply is not entirely true with this proposal because they just lock it but they are not removed which means they just delay the release rewards for mining for a year but increase the circulating supply more once the lock period is over. Also this kind of feature will just create more sell pressure in the future since those  user that locked tokens will obviously dump hard once their token unlocked. It will be first to sell token games after 1 year.

If the team is really serious on decreasing circulating supply, just burn all their reserves token including the token allocated for marketing because these tokens are mainly burning the LP of BFG tokens once they are using for their operation expenses.



It’s funny how people think that lock tokens will decrease circulating supply. It’s just a band aid solution that will amplify the problem in the future.

They wish to earn more, as you said, people who lock their BFG will not earn other coins (which is good for the casino) and in the end, they will get more BFG tokens (which is not a big expense for the casino, they made it so they have it in reserves). All in all, the house is winning...

I doubt that we will see BFG rising up in price, so definitely it's better to stake it for other coins... at least those other coins have a higher chance for some future rise in price.
312  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: February 27, 2024, 08:28:48 PM
I agree with you, I was just trying to show that "team from small town" is not always a positive thing. In such leagues, the favorite can “accidentally” lose to the underdog with a significant score, or we can see own goals with a huge coefficient. By the way, fake games are typical and for e-sports, and also in the lower leagues. Betting on sports is similar to betting in a casino - no matter what strategies you follow, there is a very high chance of losing.

I guess we can say that even in skill-based gambling games like sports betting we still rely on some luck. Without luck we can't win, small or big odds, there is no "safe bet" in any gambling game, the "luck" factor is essential in all games.

I can't say that I have some special strategy when it comes to sports betting. I like to follow some tipsters and I compare their picks with mine and I make a bet (usually parlay) after that. I can only say it's hard to win in the long run, I have some streaks of wins but after that losing streaks eat my balance,  I feel like I am trapped in a magic circle. I guess we need to have a lot of patience to win in the long run (which I don't have) and to make long breaks between bets. Of course, there are no guarantees that it can help, but after some wins, we definitely need to make a break before we get into betting again... another one of those things that is easier said than done.
313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? on: February 27, 2024, 07:30:14 PM
Of course most people bet with the intention of making a profit, only a few do it for fun, that's why many people are miserable due to chasing luck in gambling, those who think like that will lose a lot of money compared to people who just have fun

We all bet with a wish to make a profit, but only a few know that making that profit in gambling is hard. So when we make a deposit we wish to have some fun while we play our favorite games, but we never know whether we will make a profit or lose everything... we play for fun & excitement, and if we make a profit it's great, but if we lose it's not the end of the world we know we will try again another day.

People who gamble solely to make a profit often lose, it's because they push and they think it's their turn to be on the winning side. It's not so bad as long as they play with the money they can afford to lose, but when someone goes too deep and starts chasing losses just to recover and return debts it turns ugly in most cases. 
314  Other / Off-topic / Re: Should AI replace VAR? on: February 27, 2024, 06:00:52 PM
More like, the AI can auto dictate whatever foul or error that was commited by a player and just gives a final verdict that's obviously going to be unbais

To be honest I have some concerns. Will artificial intelligence really be unbiased? Can AI make mistakes? Can someone "mess around" with decisions AI makes? Too many questions here, and while there are some good points for AI to replace humans in VAR I think that people should stay in charge. I guess that AI should be included in VAR somehow, it can be used to point out some things in disputed situations, but the final decision should stay in human hands.

That's my take on AI in general, it should be used to help, but we can give an AI too much power in making final decisions. Maybe I am paranoid, but it's my opinion.

If you want a contest that requires betting then only those members will participate, and usually you, iv4n, or xLays will win.

We try harder than others, and maybe it can be said that we really gamble. Smiley

Otherwise: Who would ever say "No!" to another competition? Wink
No one will never say no to a free competition with a generous prize.  Grin

You are completely right about that. And free competitions attract a lot more people than the ones where people need to risk some money. Anyway, it's nice to see another competition from BC, I hope it lasts a long time. Good luck to everyone!
316  Economy / Gambling / Re: CryptoFreebie.io - For The Players on: February 26, 2024, 10:35:20 PM
It's crucial for us to stay honest with everybody, if there's no honesty there will be no project.

Quote
Our partner casinos pay various % of the house edge as commission. An example of what CryptoFreebie makes when a player that is affiliated with us wagers $100k a week on a 25% commission rate will be: $100000(wager) x 0.01(1% house edge) x 25%(rate) = $250.

Those who can wager $100k per week (and it's a hell of a wagering) will not care a lot for $250. I know every return counts, but you aim to catch some high rollers. Maybe my math is bad, but it looks like there's nothing for us who wager a lot less per week.

I wish you luck in attracting high rollers, it's not an easy task definitely. Many of them already play under someone (who gives them back a nice rakeback), and I doubt they wish to play to earn for someone else just like that.

Good luck with your service.
317  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which Casino and Sportsbook have the best UI? Which others can improve? on: February 26, 2024, 09:30:27 PM
I like a fast and smooth interface with unique graphics.

Stake, Duelbits, and BetFury are the best casinos in this regard

All three are good, but currently, my favorite is Betfury. In my case it's always subjective, that's where I'm currently active both in the casino and sports betting section. Many casinos have some sports betting bonuses, but since I am more into casino games I don't pay attention a lot on sports betting bonuses.

Most crypto casinos are very similar, and so it is with their sportsbooks. There are some minimal differences, mainly in promotions and bonuses, but the interface itself is pretty much the same in all casinos. It all comes down to whether we like the casino itself or not, if we like the casino we will like their sports betting section and we will stay there.
318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it ethical to break your gambling rules on: February 26, 2024, 07:24:58 PM
Rules are there to be broken. We are all human and it's normal to break some rules here and there... I guess we chase after fun & excitement, or to impress someone, whatever the reason may be the most important thing is that we don't hurt anyone too much.

I broke my gambling rules a zillion times... and some other rules as well. The most broken rule is probably about making a decision to not play some games and slots. I have told myself a zillion times that I'm not going to play some games, especially some slots, and then I go back to them at some point and they disappoint me all over again.

It's life... what else to say? We all make mistakes, some mistakes we repeat... I guess it's a normal thing, and we do it until one day we get old enough and learn it finally.
319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A lot of gambling sites are scams ! on: February 26, 2024, 07:42:50 AM
To choose a credible gambling platform, you don't just need to review the website, but also look at how long they have been operating and what their reputation is in the industry. I usually choose a gambling platform that is reviewed directly by reputable members in the casino reputation thread on our forum. Usually they provide a list of recommended casinos along with their advantages and disadvantages. I trust the reviews of reputable members on this forum more than sites like Trustpilot, because what they say is usually their real experience and is not biased.

Well, this forum has its advantages, in some way we are all reviewers since many of us gamble for real and we speak openly about our good or bad experiences. I guess there are many things we should consider before deciding to try some casinos, but I wouldn't say that we need to look at how long some casinos have been operating. In many years here on the forum we saw the birth of many "now popular casinos", but before they became so popular they had to start somewhere. Stake, BC.Game, Betfury, and many others. All of them looked different at the beginning, but with developing and good practice they built their reputation and became so big. What I wish to say is that we need to be open to new casinos and to be free to give them a chance.
320  Economy / Gambling / Re: The most liquid companies in the gambling industry on: February 25, 2024, 10:37:10 PM
Liquidity is important for high rollers but it's not the best indicator about the quality of service. Some casinos can have a large liquidity because they've a huge number of customers and not because they have many high rollers playing there for example. And if such companies operate from offshore locations they won't care about being professional and customer friendly but mostly of making profits from their losses.

If a casino has a lot of players, it should mean that their service is good. Maybe liquidity is not the best indicator of quality but I guess that more money means that the casino can invest in its team and therefore in its site so that they can be even better. And liquidity is important when some unforeseen problems/issues occur, after all, money solves problems, especially if the casino gets hacked, how else do you cover the losses and stay in the business? Good service brings money, and maintaining good service will bring money in the long run and raise liquidity over time.
