The font and color scheme made me think it was something alomg the lines of mahjong lmao.It is my first time seeing it though, and it looks to be something like dice but with a bunch more rules, bets and odds? Seems interesting enough tbh.


Though i think its proof enough of how unpopular this game is, just by the fact that most of us here haven't even probably heard of it, let alone play it.
3282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advanced settings for dice bets on: October 07, 2021, 11:18:03 AM
It probably depends on the player's point of view. 

A player with a magical mind thinks they have a chance to win at dice in the long run.  For a guaranteed win, certain rituals must be performed.  For example, put on a green jacket or play in online casinos on an empty stomach and to the music of Bach.  In this case, the win is guaranteed. 

The rational player does not believe in rituals.  He knows the basics of the mathematical theory of probability.  Therefore, he understands that with a long-term game of craps or roulette, he is guaranteed to lose. 

His motivation is to enjoy the game itself.
The ritual part made me kinda laugh ngl, gotta wear my lucky jacket before playing 100 rounds of dice. Though you can't exactly say that only the latter enjoys the game though, we never know, the former way might just be their own unique way of enjoying gambling itself.

And yeah, in dice I prefer manual betting most of the time. It's only when it's a roll hunt I use the bot.
Well auto bets is something you'd use only if you're lazy a f but you got money, or if you're doing it for the money imo. Manual players actually do enjoy the process of clicking, tapping and winning (actually losing most of the time tbh).
3283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $2.7 billion merger - Bally's Corp and Gamesys - one of the biggest in gambling on: October 07, 2021, 07:04:31 AM
I think that crypto gambling will continue to be unregulated in the USA.
The fact that cryptocurrencies aren't illegal in the USA doesn't mean that crypto casinos and crypto gambling will become legal.So you think that soon crypto payments will be allowed both on online and offline casinos in the US?
Do you have some insider information or you are just guessing? Grin
Anyway,I don't know what to say about this merger.I guess that Ballys Corp wants to expand in the world of online gambling,that's why they are buying an already developed online gambling business.
The price seems a little bit high.Perhaps the 2.7 billion USD investment will payoff in more than 10 years.
They're pretty much undecisive with it no? So they're just letting it sit with the natural rules which is viewing crypto as securities iirc. I wouldn't take upon them actually doing something till the next few years tbh, so it'd only remain as such in the upcoming years. I'd highly doubt this would influence anything at all with crypto, that is, unless, Bally's Corp and Gamesys actually have some sort of relationship with crypto where they would actively push for it's regulation, then other than being a big merger, there's really not much relation with crypto.
3284  Economy / Economics / Re: Investors Spent Millions on 'Evolved Apes' NFTs. Then They Got Scammed on: October 07, 2021, 05:39:02 AM
We could simply sit back, relax and laugh at the stupid idiots who throw their money at this. But what do we achieve?
A good laugh maybe? There are tens of projects like these each day that pop up and leave after sucking their customers off, nothing really new. Heck, in the first place I'd reckon it's to be expected that stuff like these would naturally come out, the NFT scene is full of hype right now that people would jump up on every new project they would probably see just because it's an "NFT", without even bothering on properly studying the project itself. Not that I mind tbh, it's they're money they're throwing around after all.
3285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice for fun or profits on: October 07, 2021, 01:58:31 AM
It doesn't work mate. On long term the casino is always going to overcome us, because they have a slight advantage percentage. Those 1%-2% house edge make all the difference and proportionates guaranteed profit for the house the more gamblers play dice game. When I started wagering on dice I thought exactly like you said in your post, but as time passed and I started losing money, so I had to change my mind, like many others have also done. And I believe that is why many gamblers have been migrating from dice game to sports betting during the last years, because sports give us an impression our knowledge and skills can make some difference in the results on long run.
True, people underestimate that small percentage but really, in the long run, it's us who's going to suffer and not them. There's a reason why people always say that the house always wins. Though in the end, it doesn't also mean that you should actively make big bets instead of small ones, it's really just a matter of what you're budget could hold and to pretty much enjoy the game as is, a game, and nothing else. I'd honestly suggest just looking for beer jobs that you'd enjoy instead of gambling if you're in need of money.
3286  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is There Problem In the Crypto-currency? on: October 06, 2021, 03:38:54 PM
The only problem in crypto is that it's either directly again against what people want (or against the current financial system where they can take their own liberties), or that the people are completely ignorant and would 100% believe info like Bitcoin is a scam since their friend got scammed by being uninformed (or an idiot). It's not really something an external party could fully fix, they could help, but without the other party themselves realizing and understanding it, then the problem would always stay there.
3287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SEC Chair Dodges Question About Regulatory Status of Bitcoin on: October 06, 2021, 10:26:17 AM
I'm guessing they're still in the middle ground about it? Basically still being undecisive since they can't judge on which side they should actually place crypto at. I'd reckon they have their answers personally themselves, but I guess they have to view the bigger picture of the system hence why they're still at the indecisive point. It is rather disappointing though since there are opportunities that are being missed with them being indecisive like this.

I'd give them probably another year or two maybe? If they still don't understand what to do by then they've probably just going to retain their stand as is.
3288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice for fun or profits on: October 06, 2021, 06:06:27 AM
Hey being a casino all the time doesn't mean that the person is an addict, the opposite could also be the same. Gambling in a sense is both for fun and for profit (though I'd really say that it's not for profit, the system says otherwise imo). I'd say it's mostly for fun, though considering that winning is also fun, then it just simply means that winning money is also fun. Just that putting profits as the end goal in itself isn't the fun of gambling, it's like a side result imo, compared to actually winning games.
3289  Economy / Economics / Re: Is budgeting still effective in tackling the need to constantly withdraw money? on: October 06, 2021, 05:05:19 AM
Why would you constantly want to withdraw? Isn't that just getting yourself killed with the fees? It's like your donating free money to the exchanges you're using lmao. I've honestly never had the habit of what you speak of, I only put whatever money I wouldn't really use in crypto, and that's separate from the funds that I'd immediately need in case of emergencies. Really, it's just proper finance management, and you wouldn't really have these issues imo. Budgeting is always effective if you know what you're doing.
3290  Economy / Economics / Re: Just because prices are high, doesn't mean that is a good investment. on: October 06, 2021, 01:51:18 AM
Judging investments should be done on what it would be in the future, and not the current. That being said it also doesn't mean that when the price is low, it means it's a good investment. That's why finding a good investment at times is hard, it's like predicting the future. Identifying what the trend is, looking out for possible advancements that a project could bring, stuff like that. One should probably look at multiple factors instead of just a single factor before judging an asset.
3291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To what extent can sport be strengthened with cryptocurrencies on: October 05, 2021, 03:56:31 PM
Imagine the impact of sponsorships via cryptocurrency like people would be aware of its existence, thus increasing its popularity on the long run. The application of cryptocurrencies into sports may be difficult to materialize but sponsorships and pledges can do the trick.
I wouldn't really think so....? I mean in the first place, sponsorships are done by companies, as a sort of advertisement for their business, they don't really specify what form or medium their sponsorship is, that would just be... well, odd. It could even be a damn waste of time which instead could be used to lengthen the duration or increase the size of their names popping out from whatever sort of sponsorship they are doing. Maybe if a sponsor was centered around a coin instead of their company, then maybe, just maybe, it could work.
3292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: YOUR FAVORITE GAMBLING? on: October 05, 2021, 11:25:32 AM
Best advice mate? Never gamble when you are not In good mood because this will trigger your frustration and will desperately looking for win and with that you will end up making wrong decisions.
i should know because i use to be one in the past when i am playing whatever mood Im in and this results to multiple Losses.
i believe that our Good mood attracts luck also and may bring us good effect in our gambling activities.
just learn to stop gambling sometime and not just playing whenever you wanted.
Self Discipline .
Just don't gamble if you're triggered about it, easy as that. I'd reckon there are countless amounts of games out there that could possibly make you enjoy your time more instead of tilting hard due to losing and earning money. You can even play some luck-based games out there if you really want those types, just don't gamble about it. Mood definitely does not influence luck imo, it's just that you learn to accept losses in a good way if you actually play while having a good mood. It's like no matter what happens, even if the house next door is getting bombed, you'd still be able to live life quite normally.
3293  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: can social network run on decentralization on: October 05, 2021, 10:54:26 AM
I don't think it's needed tbh? If you're that afraid of your data from being leaked when the social media app you use gets hacked, just don't use it in a way that reveals your personal data, easy as that. Use a different name, info, use giveaway infos for emails and phones (ones that are still legit ofc, but not ones that you actually use). Plus, you lose a LOT of uhh controllability? That you'd usually have compared to using centralized social media since you wouldn't be able to edit stuff about your profile, info is given out, and much more. All in all, centralized is much better imo since it can cater more to what it's users actually want.
3294  Economy / Economics / Re: Why exchanges are charging a big amount as transaction fee on withdrawal on: October 05, 2021, 08:20:10 AM
Probably try to find suitable coins with reasonably lower gas fees to convert into before trying to trade it into fiat. I use XRP or Litecoin most of the time, they're pretty reasonable with fees from what I've experienced. I'd reckon there's no really exact exchange that has low fees, they're all pretty high depending on the coin you're using. Honestly, fees are quite expected from exchanges, just that it's close to unreasonable at times really. Guess you just have to plan out most of your transactions do you don't get hit like this next time.
3295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $5000 to $1 million in 3 years and little over 2000 bets! on: October 05, 2021, 02:06:14 AM
I posted regarding this before back in 2018. Many said couldn't be done but i followed the methodology and the picks religiously and here we are. Spreadsheet shows all the picks in the log sheet and the dashboard shows the summary.

It's not an easy feat but if you put your mind into it, you can really achieve it, this is sports betting where it involves analysis and luck, you are lucky that you analyze the majority of your bet correctly, I think you're not the only one doing this, there are hundreds or thousands of sports bettors doing the same, you are also well organized you are a true sports bettors.
It's not a matter of putting your mind into it imo, it's really a matter of luck. Underestimating it could lead to a lot of losses. Even with capabilities, if it fucks you up, it just does that. Not to mention that to keep trying, you'd actually need the money to still continue after all, and that would limit what you could do with hard work imo. That's why it's mostly for fun tbh, since if you start considering it as a job, then damn it's not going to be fun. JUst the money you'd need in the first place is enough to make someone despair after all.
3296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen after 21 million bitcoin have been mined? on: October 04, 2021, 12:08:54 PM
- Will the total supply be increased because some bitcoin holders have died and others have lost their private keys?
Not really no, even if the coins were permanently lost, it just means that the available supply would be reduced. It can even reach the point where we would use smaller units of Bitcoin such as satoshi to count the amounts (or maybe even smaller) if need be. There's nothing really wrong with the intended 21 million I must say, even if we lost hundreds of BTC, the network would still run faithfully since the price would naturally adjust depending on the total amount of available supply together with the demand.
3297  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Pandora papers <== They said Bitcoin was used to avoid taxes! Think again on: October 04, 2021, 10:19:57 AM
Please, corruption would only cease to exist if the concept of politicians were to entirely disappear. Other factors have close to zero relation on them avoiding the rules that they themselves, as OP said, made. It's really nothing new tbh, it's just that there's a lot of know-it-alls on the internet that seem to disagree with that fact, though whether it's actually their own belief or was simply hired by some random dude with money, we'll never know. Really, if people were to just stop for a minute and think, they'd realize some arguments are darn stupid.
3298  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if stop believing about bitcoin ? on: October 04, 2021, 06:35:28 AM
There's no believing or not believing in something you actually use ngl. It's like saying that everyone who uses fiat believes in fiat, and therefore I can safely assume that everyone that uses it is in a cult of fiat believers now am I right? Damn never knew I joined one lmao. Using my common sense again, using something doesn't need you to believe in it or not, it's just that, being used. It's like everyone is trying to put some overdramatic explanation over something so simple, beliefs? No, it's just Bitcoin being usable, that's it.
3299  Economy / Economics / Re: Are banks needed for crypto? on: October 04, 2021, 05:15:54 AM
Isn't that killing DeFi idea? Is there a future for loan mechanism in crypto?
Loaning was never something that was solely limited to banks though. Crypto was just being your own bank, it never said anything about removing the concept of what banks are, you just become one yourself imo. Plus, there's a lot of centralized exchanges out there that have the lending system, just that you need collateral to go with it. I dunno if it's actually in demand, but I don't think it would actually disappear, it's always been a part of the financial system after all, as long as transactions exists, loaning would definitely be there imo.
3300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING: Skill-based vs. Chance-based on: October 04, 2021, 02:12:37 AM
There is that old joke about gambling to just illustrate this.There was a king and had a son who started drinking alcohol and the people near the king told him about his son,the king said no problem.The son then started going with women,prostitutes and the king also said there is no problem.When the son started to gamble the king said,stop him immediately as he is going to destroy us all.

This joke illustrates perfectly that gambling does not look at who you are and most people who do not have a great self control can easily fall under addiction from gambling.
Sad thing is it isn't even a joke imo, what the king said was perfectly reasonable, it WILL destroy them. Gambling is like a plague, it doesn't just damage one person, it damages everything around that person slowly but surely.
Some people will prefer to select skilled-based gambling games as they know more about them than other gambling games. Besides that, they think they will have many chances to win on that skill-based because they already know how to do with the games and try to win. At least, if they can learn more details about the game from many lessons, they can increase their chances to win. But we know that both skilled-based and chances-based have a risk and we should know to prevent the big risk.
Honestly, there's no such thing as "skill-based" gambling games, it's still dependent on your luck imo. If they were looking for something they can win by having more knowledge about it, gambling isn't the game for them. Yes, I know what skill-based gambling games are, but those are still called "gambling" games, see my point? They might just be better off playing games like Hearthstone and participating in tournaments and the like.
