3081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is It An Easy Transition From Gamer To Gambler In Casino. on: October 06, 2022, 02:25:27 PM

It really depends on that person if he enjoy the games that are offered on gambling casinos. I'm a gamer myself and I don't find gambling to be enjoyable the same as when I'm playing computer games. There maybe some elements that can be seen as gambling when playing those computer games but spending money on those are very optional. You can still get those powerups just by actively playing unlike in gambling where you don't get the satisfaction of it if you don't spend money.

Wait till you hit a match where the underdog or the player with higher odd wins. I have the similar experience on volleyball few years ago. I was using the same strategy as yours and I managed to x5 my capital that time. With my greediness thinking that I break the sportsbook's secret, i keep gambling until in just one match I lose most of my winnings.

In the end, gambling will always be gambling where luck plays a huge role to win no matter what strategy you use. You can't just rely to it as a main source of your income.
3083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling, tourism and legal gambling age for gamblers around the world. on: October 06, 2022, 01:18:59 AM
An interesting question is, If the younger person wins the lottery from the gifted ticket, will the state agree too pay them or wait till they come of legal age??

I don't think the casino will pay a minor if he manages to win the jackpot or even allow him to claim it when he reaches the right age. First of all, it is already stated on their law that gambling is illegal on their age. It would ruin the casinos reputation if they pay him and put them at risk if the authorities found out that they tolerate gambling at such a young age. Even if the parents of that child pushes to have his prize like telling them they give him the consent to gamble, the casino can just easily counter it with the gambling law on that country.

3086  Economy / Economics / Re: A great resignation is incoming to the IT powerhouse of the world on: October 02, 2022, 11:01:17 PM
Personally, I lead a team of 70+ associates and around 40% of them have expressed their intent to resign if they are forced to come back to office. It's a huge challenge for many other Indian companies as well.

Working in a office is really inconvenient especially if the traffic condition in your country is not good. Like here in the Philippines, many IT employees prefer to work at home not just because it's less expensive but they are able to save plenty of their time when going to work.

Work environment also affects the employee's decision why they prefer to work remotely. Maybe they have a toxic workmate that feels too priviledged in their company.

3088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Is this statiscally possible in a lottery? on: October 01, 2022, 11:59:14 PM
Yesterday, many people were surprised on the result of our lottery. The number that came out were are all divisible by nine. There are many speculations now that the lottery is rigged and the result was already fixed. It's just hard to believe that since they always do live draw to show transparency about the result. What do you think? Is this really possible in lottery?

3089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Woman Abandons 4-year-old Child In Gambling Shop As Collateral After Huge Losses on: October 01, 2022, 10:19:58 PM
Firstly, I am shocked because it is the male gender who have been known to go to any lengths to satisfy their gambling addiction.

That's just a stereotype. Anyone can have an extreme level of gambling addiction whatever their gender is. It's even more dangerous sometimes when a female gets addicted because they can do things far more worse thaan a male that has gambling addiction also.

How do you think about this?

That women lost her sanity that she reached to a point that she used a child as a collateral. No one in the sane condition would do that to anyone. Authorities should arrest her and should be brought to a rehabilitating center to cure her gambling addiction. She might resort to do more worse things next tine if they still allow her to gamble.
3090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing and the casino business. on: September 30, 2022, 11:26:27 AM
If it was that easy to invest on a casino then everyone should've already done it since we know that gambling businesses are always a thriving industry. Just like some other huge business establishment like hospital, hotel, or mall, casinos are funded by a group of business tycoons who are already popular in other field of entrepreneurship. A regular citizen can't just invest their money to it even if they have the financial capability.
3091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you change your mind on gambling ? on: September 30, 2022, 09:26:13 AM
You are a core gambler,I mean you have a reserved or particular time that you use in gambling everyday, just the way some of us are,we even add gambling expenses to our monthly budget because we gamble to entertain ourselves.
  A new government came into power, and enacted a law that nobody should gamble anymore in the country i.e gambling becomes illegal. Will you just behave yourself and abide to this new law that is depriving you from having fun as a good citizen ? or will you ignore the law and keep on gambling since there are online casinos that you can gamble secretly with your mobile phones with out no one knowing ?

As long as the government didn't mentioned any online gambling website, gamblers will just easily transist to those platforms. Even if they do, there are still some ways to bypass and gain access to those websites through the use of VPNs. Imposing a law about gambling is not enough to stop those gamblers, they will always find a way to do their habit whether if they're just a casual or high-roller player.
3092  Economy / Economics / Can commodities return to its price last year? on: September 29, 2022, 01:37:10 PM
Inflation rapidly increased this year. Basic food stuffs like egg, oil for cooking, meat, and fish here in our country almost doubled compared to its price last year. I'm wondering if it's possible that the price of commodities will return to its previous years. If so, how or what will cause it to happen. It's just scary to think that our money continues to depreciate over the years. Will there be a time that will come where average earners like me won't be able to afford a basic life anymore.
3093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Online casino/gambling projects on: September 28, 2022, 08:25:11 AM
is there any old project that live this long and still functions?

I've known cloudbet, bitcasino, and primedice since my newbie days way back 2016 and those gambling websites are still operating until now.

Also what are the things that kills such project because even one or two survived for long I don't see many alive till now, they fail easily or turn scam later.

If you are pertainining on gambling casinos, there are many factors why these platforms shut down. Reputation  plays a big role to it. If a gambling website have many bad reviews, users will definitely not play there. If that casino doesn't have enough users in the long run, they are likely to close the website once they don't have enough funds to maintain it..
3094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My worst day in gambling on: September 28, 2022, 06:25:16 AM
How about you do you had a worst day on gambling  that you will never forget ?Did it affect an aspect of your life and how ?

My worst experience in gambling happened on my college days. I was new to crypto that time and looking for some source of income that can provide financial assistance to my studies. I stumbled to a sportsbetting website and checked how it work. A money line bet got my interest because the mechanics of the game are very simple, you just need to predict what team or player that is going to win the match, usually the team with lower odds is likely to win the game. I asked my friend who also knows bitcoin to send some to me and I will pay him in cash when we see each other. I can't remember how much exactly is the value he send to me that time but it was 0.002 btc and I managed to make it 0.01 just by betting on lower odd teams. I was very happy that I can't contol myself out of excitemement. On the last game I put a bet on, I went all-in thinking that if I will win, it would give me profit half of my current capital. But after few minutes and I haven't receive any amount, I look at the bet history and found out that I lose the game. It was evening that time and I wasn't able to sleep until morning. I always keep thinking about it for few days and regret what happened.
3095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About Casino Licenses on: September 28, 2022, 04:40:59 AM
Is it possible and legal to open an online casino without a license?
I have heard that a license only allows to put users in confidence
What do you think about this?

You can run a casino without a license but do you think users will gamble on your platform if they found out that you don't have it? As a user, I don't want to play on a website that has no license because there is high chance that I will experience some issues especially on withdrawal. License is one of the basic necessity on any type of business. Even if it becomes successful, authorities will still bring it down since you're illegaly operating.
3096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Reputation on: September 28, 2022, 03:48:57 AM
You're a professional like a lawyer or a teacher in a respected university, will it harm your reputation if people around you or your students discover that you are into gambling, you're not really a compulsive gambler but gamble for entertainment, how will you explain this to people around you or will you explain to protect your reputation or just ignore them.

The stereotype of gambling to many people is it just causes addiction. If you can withstand some words that you will hear from them then ignoring would be better for me. Arguing that you're not what they think will make things worse and just ruin your mental peace. Changing their mindset about gambling will be difficult if they are narrow-minded about it. They don't realize that anything that is done excessively can ruin someone's life not just gambling.
3097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin island in the Philippines? on: September 26, 2022, 01:26:45 PM
What are your thoughts about this one guys especially Filipinos here on this forum? Would love to hearing some feedback, reactions or opinion from you all here.

The article mentioned Boracay and it's not surprising if someone will make it into a bitcoin island. It's a place where there are more tourist than locals so it's a good marketing strategy if businesses will adopt bitcoin. It would attract more visitors especially crypto enthusiast to visit that place. If they own bitcoin, they can directly go there and won't need to exchange their cash to our local fiat. My friend recently went there and he said that most of his transactions were already cashless.

Quote
As per Pouch vice president Bill Mill, around 120 big and small businesses in Boracay have so far signed up to allow users to make payments in BTC.
3098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: What are the most developing play to earn games right now on: September 25, 2022, 11:19:48 AM
I need the list of the most developing games on the blockchain right now, I think 50% of my crypto portfolio will be play to earn games.

Star atlas and embersword are the play-to-earn games I follow right now. I like playing MMORPG games with my friends so I'm looking forward for Embersword's full release.

Star Atlas is a strategy exploration game where players are divided into 3 factions and will fight for resources. There is no exact gameplay yet but what I like from them is its developers are always giving updates about how they continuously polish the game. They already release 2 tokens now that will be used on their game in the future. $POLIS which is the governance token and $ATLAS which is the utility token.
3099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i get banned for Card Counting in online casinos? on: September 25, 2022, 09:19:13 AM
Here the question is, have you ever seen a user getting banned from an online casino for card counting?

To be clear, card counting isn't a method to always win, it's just a method to have better odds.

I don't think there is someone willing to risk to see if they will get banned on using a card counting technique. Even though it is not illegal, the online casino can easily disable withdrawal on their account if they noticed something suspicious on their betting activity where they have a consistent win-lose ratio. I'm pretty sure that you will avoid complying to their KYC since you are aware of using a method to have an advantage.

Do you think it's a responsible content creation & moderation on a platform which is used by teens, kids, and young adults?

For me, gambling contents should really not be permitted to stream on any platform. It encourages all ages of people to gamble and try their luck when they see their idols winning some huge amount. There are also some streamers who just takes advantage by promoting their affiliate link so they can earn some commission.

Will this be the straw that will finally break the Camel's back and will force Twitch to ban gambling streams?

They did not totally ban gambling streams. Only some games like slots, roulette, and dice games are prohibited. Poker, sports betting, and fantasy sports are still allowed to stream on their platform.
