it doesn't matter how many followers and how many sign-ups there are if only a few of them put money into casino.
This is why it's important to know where and with whom you share your referral links. To get good results, you need to share your links where people who are interested in gambling can see it and you need to give them a reason or incentive to click on it and register under your link.
Referral programs can be very profitable but it's not for everyone. This is why you see many gamblers complaining about not making any profit from it.


Targeted marketing is very important. If we randomly send our referral links to people, no one would join under us or even it they join they won't deposit their money in the casino.
The right thing is to spread our links to the relevant audience which includes the groups and communities related to cryptocurrency gambling.
In this way, we have more chances of getting engagements from our referrals. Of course, we need active referrals as dead referrals won't contribute to our cause.

Have seen fixed match argument several times and my answer is always same, winner is only known by wwe bookers and not to anyone else.

Would bet on wwe matches if there were bookmakers taking bets for it.
You really think that it will be fair and do you really think that the bookies will be accepting bets for something that is fixed. Even for legit games it is hard to contain the fixing issues during certain sporting events and imagine what will be the shit show with a match that is scripted from top to bottom, even the promos the wrestlers does are scripted and even the commentary is scripted.

Don't you think this is too risky for gambling sites and bookmakers to accept the bets on fixed matches such as WWE ?
If even a few people know the result of the match, they can place high amounts on those matches and make big money. That is why we don't see these WWE matches bets on every sports betting sites.

Damn, even that staged, for a regular viewer and follower of WWE, who doesn't want to see their WWE Superstars live? It's like these people are watching movies with their favorite celebrities. If I'm given a chance, I would not even skip watching WWE Live as I'm a fan of it before during my younger days.

It does not matter for the viewers if the WWE results are fixed. They will get entertained watching the live fight between their favorite superstars?

It is more entertaining to watch WWE live match than to watch a movie. However, as long as the general public do now know the results in advance, they will continue to have an interest in WWE matches.

The truth is none of us really know.  I know there are some sites/games that they say are provably fair, but I'm still not so sure that is the case.  It's the same thing when you go to visit casinos in person whether that's at some place like Las Vegas or Lake Tahoe.  I just don't think there's truly any way for us to know if the games we're playing are actually not cheating us.  I would lean toward the latter, that they are..but I of course have no proof of this.

Well the good trusted gambling sites will always give you proof that the games are provably fair and you can check them at their sites. We should only play at sites where we are sure the games are provably fair. In case you play at a casino where you have doubt of provably fair games, you are likely to lose all your money.

Psl 8 have been s hige success interms of revenue and viewership and Pakistan cricket board can add new teams in upcoming league to grow .
Pakistan is a cricket loving country and people are diehard  fans of cricket   they would love to watch more games and as far as financial basis is concerned Pakistan can settle that as people of Pakistan are pretty good in terms of finances.

I think PSL has been on a successful track and every year the tournament gains more popularity. However, the Pakistan cricket board should focus on getting more International players in PSL. We have seen limited numbers of International players and that is the reason PSL lack behind the IPL.

If PCB can manage to attract more International players, I am sure the league will become even more popular, however, they need to have enough money in order to do so.
3065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Game do you think is a Game of Chance or a Game of Skill? on: March 23, 2023, 04:55:53 AM
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned sports betting so far. I agree with the majority of responses that consider poker to be a game of skill, where luck plays a part in the short term, but skilled players can win money consistently. But in sports betting too.

Sports betting is also not a game of skill. Yes, the previous performances of the team will help you analyze the performances of the team but i would no call it a skill.

As skill is something in which you become perfect, will always give you rights results. However, in this case, no matter how well you know a player, the betting results will still remain uncertain and a weak team / player can also win the match and may give you higher odds if you take risk and bet on low rated players.
3066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread on: March 22, 2023, 11:57:16 PM
If countries join hands and form a league then it might give competence to the IPL. Maybe something like Asian league can be formed, and can be hosted in every participating country. This could increase the viewer base as well as popularise franchise cricket same as that we see football being played on the Western nations.

As of now Sri Lanka Premier League have got 7 teams. Bangladesh Premier League have got 7 teams. Afghanistan Premier League have got 5 teams and Everest Premier League have got 8 teams. Among this same player will be playing different leagues for different teams. Only in such occasion there arises problem.
This is a good suggestion. So we have 5 countries - Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Either they can have 2 teams each from these countries, or add one team and then can have additional teams from UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia. The tournament can be either held in Super League format (group based), or a shorter Super Cup format (knockout only). That said, teams from different countries are involved and therefore deciding on the revenue sharing and hosting rights may be a bit tricky.
Adding six or seven countries are not going to happen realistically because we will have many problems foremost this will be needed very long period and right now we have not been spacing for the event which is having more than 45 days even IPL is now having too many teams and longest event which bringing problems for the players here just having few countries like Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be also good because Bangladesh most chances will be not joined this event as they are already doing good for their BPL even this is not bringing enough revenue but still they will not join anything which involved Pakistan like India.

Having teams from Oman, UAE and Saudi Arab is also not ideal situation for them because most these countries not have native players so in case of they will have few matches in these countries will be also good but having more teams will never been ideal.

PCB cannot afford to increase the duration of the tournament as players have also domestic and international commitments and they cannot spend all the time in these tournaments. Also if there is a conflict in date in the PSL and IPL, many international players will prefer to play in IPL as compared to PSL and for sure PCB won't want this to happen.

One suggestion is to increase the number of teams in PSL but schedule more than one match in a day at different venues. This may achieve the purpose of increasing the teams in PSL yet the duration of the tournament will remain the same.

From my understanding of wrestle mania WWE,I see it as a fixed fight,which there is an agreement of who will win the fight. Despite all these people still buy tickets to watch the fight. I don't see this as a transparent fight,but people still bet on this fight. Is it that they are ignorant of this fight fixing or they are addicted to gambling and just bet on whatever come across them. As a gambler will you bet on such fight,when you know that the fight is fixed and the outcome of the fight is not for real,or will you go ahead to bet for fun?

Let's suppose the WWE fights are fixed and they are just simulations but the general public does not know who will win the fight. So for us, it is just a fight where the result is unknown and we can place the bet. There is no advantage to the people betting on WWE as they do not know the results in advance.
Yeah, if someone insider knows about it and places the bet accordingly then for sure he or she can make easy money. Also if you know someone that works in WWE and knows what's going to happen, you may also want to take advantage of this.

While going through different websites I stumbled upon many websites which were about the top most played games in online casinos in 2021-2022. I have listed down the top 4 most played games below but my question is which one of these do you consider to be a game of skill or a game of chance?

  • Slots
  • Balckjack
  • Baccarat
  • Poker
 

I think Slots is a game of chance and Poker is a game of skills. Do you agree?

I would say that all of the casino games are games of chance and none falls in the game of skill. Yeah Poker is a bit tricky and people think if you have the skill you are better at playing poker, which is not correct in my point of view.
Usually, poker is not an easy game for someone who never played it first. People will first learn about poker and think that it is a skill based game.

3rd ODI match is India Cricket Team vs Australia Cricket Team.  Australia cricket team won the toss and batted first. Australia cricket team gave India cricket team a target of 270 runs.  The Indian cricket team is batting in the second innings to achieve the target.  Two batsmen of Indian cricket team fell at the beginning of the game.  The Indian cricket team needs to play with utmost responsibility remaining batsmen to win the match.  Having played two matches previously, Australia and India have  1-1.  The team that wins today's match will win the series.  Nothing can be said about which team will win until the end of the game
I would not say that 270 runs are a bad collection on this pitch. Because the performance of India's batsmen is somewhat irregular now. And so collecting 270 runs is not easy for India at the moment. The match is getting competitive. India lost 6 wickets and collected 185 runs. India needs 85 runs from 88 balls to win. Both Hardik Pandya and Jadeja are quite talented batsmen batting now. If this pair can perform well then it will not be difficult for India to collect 85 runs. But if this pair is not tall, Australia will win the match.

Hardik Pandya and Jadeja managed to put on a partnership of 33 runs. Hardik Pandya returned to the dressing room with 40 runs off 40 balls. And India lost their seventh wicket by 218 runs. India needs 52 runs to win. This is not an easy task at all. Indian batsmen are not playing well on this pitch. However, there are experienced batsmen like Jadeja at the crease. As long as he stays at the crease, India will expect to win this match. But I think it is not possible for India to collect these 52 runs. Australian bowlers are bowling very controlled.

This can still be anyone's game from here on in. Five overs are left in the match and India needs 45 runs in 31 runs.

Jadeja is batting at 17 and is the key person for the Indian team if they are to win this match. The Aussie team needs wickets and one or two can change the game in their favor.

Edit: India got all out and Australia won the series.

All of that could be part of the terms of service (TOS), or they are required by regulators to verify their clients once they hit a big amount of money. Sometimes, not all the information we need to know is present in the TOS, but as long as it's legally enforceable, we can't blame the gambling site for doing their job to comply with the regulators.

Unless in the case of scam casinos.

Well, the scam casinos can keep on rejecting your KYC in case you win big however if you are playing at a reputable casino, once you win big the casino can ask for KYC and upon successful KYC, you can withdraw your funds. For me, it this clause is listed in the terms and conditions, I will prefer to do KYC beforehand and will not wait unless I big win and demanded by the casino to do the KYC.

To be honest, i dont understand why some ppl so mad at KYC... and would like to know opinions of who is against that, just to understand an their view.

Think in a way that you do KYC at a site, they will get all your personal data and a scanned copy of your ID card, passport or any government-issued card and later that site sell you details on the dark web. Scary isn't it?
3071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 22, 2023, 03:29:51 PM
India's 3rd ODI match on tour of Australia has started today. Australia batted first and set a target of 269 runs in 49 overs. India did not perform very well in bowling in the beginning but in the end they performed very well. Hardik Pandya bowled very well. 44 runs in 8 overs.  took 3 wickets with Australia batsman not able to score more than 47 runs all got out with very few runs. India batting now. 82 runs in 14.1 overs. But India lost 2 strong wickets. The game looks very tight now.
India is now batting against Australia's target of 270 runs.  So far India have collected 146 runs for two wickets (27.4 overs) now with Virat Kohli (45) and Lokesh Rahul (32) at the wicket.  India need just 124 runs to win with eight valuable wickets and 22 overs to spare. If Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul can put up a good score then it can be said that India will win the series deciding match between Australia vs India in Chennai.
Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul settled for the wicket but could not last as Lokesh Rahul was dismissed and returned to the pavilion. Not only Lokesh Rahul but also Aksar Patel was run out in two balls and made his way to the pavilion. But still Virat Kohli is steady on the wicket. Hardik Pandya comes to the crease to form a partnership with Virat Kohli. India can win this match against Australia only if Virat Kohli can bat responsibly and if the rest of the team can support Virat Kohli. However, losing two wickets in a row, India is under a lot of pressure. Till now India had the match in hand. But hopefully Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya will overcome this batting disaster.

I don't think that India can win this match. Auston Agar just took two wickets in two balls making things even more difficult for the Indian batting. Virat Kohli made 54 runs and every batsman scored some runs but none of them could convert them into big inning and this is the main reason why India is struggling. The required run rate is 6.0 an over which may not seems much but since India has lost 6 wickets, this could be a big problem.

Earlier I thought that Australia scored 20 to 30 runs less but now the batting collapse by India has given them an advantage in this decisive match.
At the end of 35.2 overs, India is struggling at 185 for 6 wickets.

I stuck in a critical confusion , need your opinions ,
I am going to get admission in a undergraduate course in some days not yet decided, I want your opinion on it, is it important to get college education and certificates about that specific field/subject/degree, because i don't have enough money to invest in education and thinking to buy bitcoin by half of education money ,
not getting the undergraduate course, you think it is a right decision, or i should learn at college, it may make me socially shy if i don't go to college,
If, I will learn everything from books/online, will any company will give me job by just completing school/12th class.? and without any type of certificate .?

please answer by quoting every question and word may i forgot to add question mark(it seem annoying like Huh)
it's important for me please give your opinion i will get broader overview.



To answer it correctly, you need to tell how much is money which you will be willing to cut from your educational expenses and invest in bitcoin ?
Let's suppose it is 2000$ or 4000$ , then you must think that this investment may become 4x in about a 2 to 3 years' time. (If bitcoin reaches 100,000$ after the next halving).
However, if you get proper education and skills, then you may earn much more than this amount and then also invest in bitcoin too with your savings. You need to decide for yourself and do not think of any shortcut or easy way to earn.
3073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why people promote gambling sites . on: March 20, 2023, 11:59:28 PM
You must understand the fact that Gambling sites are people businesses, and building a Business the aims is to make profits, so casino operators just like every other business look for ways to generate income since there have a lot of expenses and operational costs to bear.

-So expecting gambling sites to keep losing is like chasing them out of the market because there will not have funds to run the business, so casino need to generate revenue so that the business can keep going.

People do not promote the gambling sites themselves, they have been hired by the sites to promote their business. Just like any other business that needs marketing to grow, gambling sites also allocate their funds for their promotion.

Whats the need of promoting a supermarket or a luxury brand, it brings business for the brand and for what we've done we'll be rewarded. Gambling industry is a business and for revenue it is being promoted. With each and everything we'll be having specific terms and conditions. When we enter it request our consent, and we just move on with the agree click. That's our mistake, whether it is gambling or something else we need to be responsible and if something doesn't feel to be good just ignore the platform and find the one that suit our needs.

I would say that marketing gambling sites are becoming a necessity due to competition. There are many gambling sites out there and they want to attract gamblers. They need marketers and also social media influencers who can project their gambling sites so people can prefer certain sites over the other.

There are still things to be taken care of if ever someone wants to use and AI. The pros and cons should be weighed to know whether it possess much risk or not. It's not really bad to get an idea using an AI, but of course, we must not fully rely on it without using our knowledge. Since afterall, at the end of the day the bet you made is your responsibility.

I guess that even if AI cannot predict sports betting perfectly it will still be used and marketed as a tool that has this ability to predict betting. People may custom develop this tool to claim it is fit for betting while it still be an ordinary AI tool which has been built to know the future outcomes.

Today I was reading some most successful businessman and other such successful people that are millionaires and also billionaires like Bill gate, Mark Zuckerberg and Other Gamblers that became millionaires because of betting.
My point is that Normal people see only their Success but they do not know that How much dark secrets are behind this.
I want to tell you a story of Successful Businessman in country who is Real Estate businessman and Rich people love to Invest in their housing Schemes. But He Gets access to most valuable land whom he gets it by hook or crook. My mean he Is partially a landlord and he has Done high damage to the poor people and they have lost their homes.
And Normal people do not know these kind of Secrets behind all of this and also on Gambling thing where a very minority of people gets succeeded.
I know that a lot of OP will not agree with me and let's see what are your opinions.

Not every businessman is bad nor every business person is good too. It varies from person to person and you cannot give the same opinion about everyone.

I disagree with your point of view that every Successful businessman has dark history or secret. There are many successful businesses that are running honestly and they have a clean past. Remember that for success you do not need to be a cheater, but if you are a hard worker and honest, success will follow you.

Who is watching the Legends league final today between World Giants and Asia Lions ? Giants did not start the innings well and they are now struggling at 114 runs in the 17th over. The top oder batsmen failed today but Jacques Kallis scored 50 runs and is still at the wicket giving some sort of reasonable target. He was helped by Ross Taylor who scored 32 runs before he was bowled by Perera.

The good thing about the match is that you can watch it live on youtube. It's rare that you see a match being broadcast live on youtube.

After 31 over Ban 179/2
Today also Bangladesh will score 300 plus it can be guessed by the image of the game at present. Bangladesh has already defeated Ireland by a huge margin in the first match. Even today, Bangladesh is batting with the aim of giving Ireland a big target. How reasonable it was for Ireland to win the toss and invite Bangladesh to bat will be understood at the end of Bangladesh's innings. For now Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan are unbeaten with 66 and 14 runs respectively.

Ireland have got an important wikcet of Shakib Al Hasan, but still, Bangladesh are in a good position, and they can score 300 runs from here. 188 runs in 33 overs, and seven more players still come. Litton Das scored 70 runs, and Shanto is not out on 73 runs. Shanto needs some support from the other end. Otherwise, Bangladesh may not be able to big a big target.

Wow, Ireland has got a big wicket!
Najmul Hossain Shanto played a great innings in the second ODI, but unfortunately he couldn't carry on to triple figures. He did a fine job keeping Bangladesh on track until he reached 73 runs, although I must say I was hoping for even more from him. The pressure is now on Hridoy and Mushfiqur as they step up to the crease. It's up to them to take responsibility and ensure Bangladesh sets a strong total for Ireland.
In 2nd ODI Bangladesh is again in a stronger position as they have collected 254 runs so far in 41 overs and 4 wickets loss which is a really good one.
The partnership of Litton Das and shanto build this match and contributed alot in bringing target at such good point .

Bangladesh should win this match as they have scored 349 runs in their 50 overs. All of the players scored runs, especially Mushfiqur Rahim who scored 100 runs and completed his century. Litton Das scored 70 runs and Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 73 runs.

Anyways the match is delayed by the rain and I think Ireland will like this situation. Anyways the rain has stopped now and I hope we shall see the match resume quickly. However, the outfield will be wet. Let's see if the umpires deduct some overs or not.

A target of 200 runs in the final match is naturally a big burden for the opposing team. But the opponent team lost by just 1 run while pursuing  target, the entire audience felt repentance for them ‍as they chased this big target of 200 runs, the team's sense of victory and defeat changed again and again which made the match more enjoyable. But the player of the winning team Shaheen Afridi played an amazing match in the final, he scored 44 runs in just 15 balls and took 4 wickets as well. May be this was one of his remarkable matches till today.

200 is a big target on Lahore track but Multan Sultans chased it well. After 10 overs of Multan batting the game was very much in favour of Multan. Rilee Rossouw played his part but Pollard and Tim David failed to produce runs when they were most required. PSL 8 is now officially over and it produced some outstanding games. There were few names that are going in T20I series to be played against Afghanistan like Ihsanullah, Usama Mir and few more.

Although 24 hours have passed by the final, but the memories of this final is still fresh in my mind. Even though I have watched the match live on TV yesterday, i have watched the highlights a few times.
In the last 3 overs, Multan needed almost 40 runs but then the 19th over produced 22 runs, and the balance of the game shifted in favor of Multan. But that last over was bowled by Zaman and he will remember that for the rest of his life that he managed to defend the target.

I am not surprised at his confidence in freebitco though, we all know that this is one of the longest running bitcoin faucet, which also have turned into a casino, and I have no doubt that the platform will continue to run for a very long time from now as well, I just think that 0.97 bitcoin(and still counting up) is an expensive free money.

Freebitco.in tells you exactly how they make their money, and they are still standing 9 years after they launched, through bull and bear market alike. Meanwhile, more "trusted" institutions, like Blockfi, Gemini Earn, Voyager, Celcius, gambled away their users funds and have closed their doors and disappointed those who trusted them.


Well, no doubt freebitco is the only reliable faucet left in the market as rest have all vanished since the bitcoin price have been on a high price point. Secondly, its faucet has been running for years and have never dried up.

However, you could not compare with other intuitions mentioned above, as most of the are lending institutions wo contain a lot of users fund. I don't think at point point freebitco hold that much amount of capital as those firms. However, i really appreciate that they are still there and honestly providing their services.

Indian top order crumbled against Starc. SKY in particular not looking in good touch, king pair for him and it should worry the management.

At first I thought that this wicket will favor the batsmen as the Indian batsmen were unable to stay on the crease. But when we see the Australian team winning by 10 wickets, which shows that it was basically a Mitchell Starc. e took 5 wickets for 53 runs and Indian batsmen had no clue on how to handle him.

Last ODI India win convincingly and now Aussie takes the revenge and beat Indian team by a big margin. This now leads to the final match of the series being the series decider and it will be very interesting indeed.
