3361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Expect Consistent Winnings From Gambling - A Lesson I Learnt. on: May 24, 2023, 02:24:37 PM
Consistent winning in what way? There is no way you can keep winning on a online casino unless you are playing a game that is based on skills, and most gambles on casinos are based on luck, so if consistent winning is happening you should be aware that you are just lucky, I don't expect you to keep playing the game while you keep winning, I expect you to take your gains off the gambling platform, if you keep winning to a point, the gambling platform might think you are using something and they will restrict you.

Some casinos will even stop you from withdrawing your wins because they will believe that something is off, maybe after proper investigation they can allow you to withdraw your funds.
It is a mistake if we expect to be able to win continuously in gambling because it is difficult to get. We must feel lucky if we can win at gambling because not many people can win, and no one can win consistently from gambling. And I agree with you that gambling in casinos is based on luck, so if we don't get lucky when we play, we won't be able to win.

And when they play in a big casino, maybe the casino can make a requirement before you can withdraw the winnings. So be prepared if that happens.

I think the story above is related to the religion his father adhered to, so his father refused money from gambling and would not allow him into his house. Perhaps, we will think that it is better if the money is accepted so they can do something with it. But if the father still insists on refusing the money, maybe the son will return the money to the casino or maybe the son will share the money with other people and not enjoy the money. Many possibilities could happen from the story above that we won't know unless the child tells the story on social media so people will see it.

The funny aspect of this is that you will hardly see this forum being advertised on any social media platform but yet it's ever relevant and well recognized globally, but through the use of the search engine as you've mentioned, one can see this platform as one of the recommendation given on articles or threads created about gambling on the forum, but for the sake of those already on the forum, they have the upper edge to utilize every opportunities found with the gambling sites present on this forum.
And on that search engine, gambling ads sometimes appear because I saw them when looking for something related to gambling. And it seems like Google or other search engines should provide stricter filters so that gambling ad results don't show up to people looking for information that isn't related to gambling.

And what's important is that when they can be on this forum, they will get many recommendations for gambling sites trusted by members here. It will help those people not to get scammed by scam casinos.

Yes I agreed with you that as a beginner, it's better to focus on a single coin to learn about that approach and then add coins gradually once some experience has been acquired
Not focusing on one coin but focusing on market analysis lessons. If you can learn it, you will have no problem analyzing any coin because they all use the same analysis. And if you have managed to learn about the analysis, you can try to analyze some coins to trade. You can start earning, which is the effort to make dreams come true. And not many people have succeeded in learning to analyze so it is still wide open if you are serious about learning.
3365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't gamble if you don't have patience on: May 24, 2023, 10:31:32 AM
Online casinos are different, you need to have patience when trying to withdraw your funds, and make sure that you get your funds before doing anything else on the gambling platform, because any thing can be used against you on a gambling platform, even if you have let day some money like 200$ and you want to withdraw half of the money, make sure your withdrawal went through before you continue to gamble, because if your withdrawal is not yet processed and you continue to gamble, there is a possibility that all your 200$ will be deducted.
Usually, trusted casinos don't take long to process the withdrawals of their members, especially if the members use coins that can quickly get confirmation from the network. But indeed, some casinos require a longer time to be able to complete the transaction, so we have to wait for it to finish. And I agree that we should first complete the withdrawal process before we continue playing gambling. It is also useful for us because we can take a break from playing gambling so that it can refresh our minds for a while.

the solution for fake news is not the truth or regulating what people see, but educating people on developing critical sense
unfortunately in places like Brazil the people will be doomed... RIP democracies.

maybe some other countries will escape it

the level of video and audio deepfakes now is already absurd.

Yeah, I agree.

But at the end of the day it's very hard to fact check every single line you read, you need some level of trust to actually live a normal life.

That's the whole point of having reputable sources, you can trust that what they're publishing went through some checks.

But yeah, at the end of the day we still need to have our own filters, and I think most people don't have that, specially with things like ChatGPT saying false things so sure about itself.
Unfortunately those sources are not to be trusted either, while it is very difficult for a news agency to remain impartial and neutral, the truth is that most of them do not even try anymore and everything they report has a very strong bias, and this has caused people to stop trusting them.

Now this is sooner or later going to create a huge problem of trust among the whole society as now we cannot even trust our eyes as everything that we see could be manipulated with the use of AI, a scenario similar to the one depicted on the novel 1984.
Perhaps, that's what triggers some countries to want to regulate the use of AI because of misinformation about the news they want to find. And this makes many developers continue to work hard to improve AI to provide more valid information and not provide wrong information to users. And we as users have to be more careful in using AI, and we also have to have more sources that can provide additional information about the news we are looking for. Before we use AI to predict the results, we must compare the information obtained by AI with the information we get to know whether the information is valid or have to look for additional information.

While gambling is a choice, I don't support people defaulting the laws of their country and putting themselves in situations where they can be cheated on. If a users uses a VPN, he should first confirm if it's okay by the casino or gambling site that he's using it on.

We have many accusations when members accounts were closed for asking them to verify their identity after they won big amounts and they found out that the users are accessing the sites illegally through VPN as their country of resident isn't welcome on the casino.

Online Gambling makes it easy to forget that there are laws and regulations that need to be followed so we should be very careful about the decision we take and make sure we know every terms and conditions of the gambling sites or casinos that we play on.
Besides, they can be caught if they keep gambling because our country prohibits gambling. And when they do, they're just getting into trouble we don't know about. And while we can use a VPN to visit the casino and gamble there, we must be aware of the risk of being found out by our government. And we'd better not have to take that risk.

And casinos can also identify their members easily to find members from countries where gambling is prohibited. Casinos can also impose penalties on their members by closing their accounts without notification, which is what has happened so far. But that doesn't stop people from gambling at online crypto casinos because they find lots of interesting promotions from these casinos.

~snip~
Gambling does provide benefits, but only at times, so one shouldn't think of it as a way to gain benefits constantly since it is not something that makes everyone rich. Only the luckiest people in the world manage to become rich through gambling and those are a few out of millions that gamble from all around the globe at different casinos online and offline.

So one should only see gambling as an opportunity that might do something good for them but the chances are mainly against them, so they need to make sure that they are not giving away everything they have only for that.
Profits from gambling can only be obtained when we can get lucky, but we cannot expect that luck to be with us while playing gambling. Indeed, some people can become rich people, but only a few, while others will lose a lot of money, especially those who do not have good self-control.

We should use gambling for fun and not turn it into a money-making opportunity. And that is why gambling is an option that we don't need to think about seriously.

~snip~

What you said is true, it is still up to us to decide whether we will play gambling or not. That's why the good advice of others is useless if we don't follow it. Because everyone's mindset is different when it comes to gambling.

Just like there are countries where gambling is legalized like Casinos and in others it is illegal, the same for every individual person. But in reality, it's not good for children or minors, we know that. That's why there is other gambling that is made legal because it helps the charity program and at the same time the tax that it gives to the government.
As long as we can anticipate the risks, I think playing gambling is okay. But it must be remembered that "only" if we can anticipate the risks and control ourselves. If not, it will only be a place to waste money without being able to make money.

If it is a child, gambling is indeed prohibited. But we know that today's children already use sophisticated mobile phones that can make them visit many sites, including gambling. They use the cell phone without their parents knowing so they can freely visit any site. And it can trigger them to gamble if they see gambling advertisements. And when no one knows, they can play gambling secretly, and it is possible to use a lot of money.
3368  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Before investing on meme coin or shitcoins consider this. on: May 24, 2023, 07:28:45 AM
meme coin investment is all about trial and error, you just don't expect something big coming out of your investment as it resembles gambling a lot, and the odd sometime even lower than gambling, such a bad idea if you think your investment will always give massive profits.
I'd say it's more like gambling because we don't know what the future holds for investing in meme coins. Most meme coins cannot survive the competition among the meme coins themselves, let alone compete with other new coins or coins already gaining a place in the market. Meme coins that can survive in a good position in the market are few; even then, they can disappear anytime. So maybe this is why meme coins are like investing and gambling at the same time. And strangely, many people are still interested in investing in these meme coins and even buying them with a lot of money. It's all because of the hope of getting huge profits from investing in meme coins.
I do agree that it is not going to be simple to invest into these things because they are just too volatile and based on excitement and hype nothing more. If you can rally up people then you can get them to invest into any meme, it could be pepe, it could be doge, it could be shiba, it could be ape. You can start a rick/rolled based token and you could get people to invest by just sending them to the video lol, there will always be people who will invest into memes.

All you have to do is rile them up, and if you can do that then you can do wonders. Obviously there are good versions and there are bad versions, the ones that rank in top 200 are the good ones, the ones who can't even get the funding are the bad ones, they will not worth anything and just trying to make money based on the hype.
And it turns out that the strategy has succeeded in increasing some meme coins and getting their peak price. That is also what makes many people also get the biggest profit by investing in this meme coin. But others could not get the right moment to create hype in the market, so the project could not survive and eventually disappeared from circulation.

But it can be risky because we don't know which meme coin project can go high and manage to get hype, so we can get stuck at the high price and not sell it anymore because once it reaches that high price, the meme coin price drops drastically and can't get up again.

By knowing that gambling is mostly prohibited, we already know what the options are for us, whether to decide to gamble or not to come into contact with gambling. If we decide to gamble, we must be prepared for all the risks, including if later we are caught gambling by the officers, and they catch us and give us punishment. But that didn't deter many people, and they immediately stopped because some of them continued to gamble even though the officers had punished them.
Not only gambling if something is prohibited and we do the same thing we are indulging in illegal activity which is punishable offence.This is why many people are shifting to online gambling because you don't have to face much restrictions as well you can try lot of of different casinos with lot of games.But if we talk about street gambling then people still do it even if it's banned because corruption is there and those areas are under government supervision but still you see people gambling over there.So there is risk factor there to players.
By playing at online casinos they can play cross-country gambling and also use a VPN so that they are not detected by regulations in their country. Online casinos now also provide various kinds of conveniences for gamblers where we can use crypto and still hide our identity as gamblers from other people. And this means that playing gambling is a choice because each person will choose what they want to do in their spare time. And by using crypto casinos, gamblers can keep their activities hidden in gambling.

We live in an amazing time, where not only automation replaces people working with their hands, but also a chat that can replace people whose job it is to invent new things. No one could have guessed that machines would develop so much. And soon it may become not only a problem of the:
- forum (plagiarism of messages),
- poker (unfair play),
but also in all other areas of the Internet. And how to deal with this is unknown. It is time to create regulatory commissions.

No doubt because of that automation is already happening from now on. People could lose their jobs if the automation process was working in all areas. And no one thought that technology could develop so far and has become a basic need for almost everyone. And soon, maybe chatgpt or whatever it's called will also be a technology that can help gamblers to fight against casinos while casinos also won't let them win.

It's true that after some time I left slot games, my mind could be calmer and less stressed because of defeat, which made me even more curious.
Maybe need you to try it too so you can be calmer and can come back another time when your heart feels happy.

I will not leave gambling  because gambling is a place that can make me feel happy or relieve stress from a long day at work.
I prefer a few other bets first while watching the progress of the match I'm betting on and this is fun enough that I can forget some of the losses some time ago.
No, you don't need to give up gambling, but you need to take a break for a while, not visit any casinos, and use your time to do other things. That's what I suggest, and I think it has worked for you because you can be calmer and less stressed. I have also done that when I have lost too many times and feel that my days are too bad when playing gambling. And the result is, as you said, when I return to gambling again, I can enjoy it, and there are no obstacles.

Taking time off or a day off from gambling can help you forget about the defeats you have experienced. And once you return to gambling, perhaps you can have fun and win at the next slot game.
3373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another side of Sports betting you may not know about on: May 22, 2023, 03:52:59 PM

What you are saying will actually just be a chain that rotates in a gambling because the insiders who participate in betting also use larger amounts of money so there will be no possible operation that will succeed because everything will return to the money where when there is money in huge amount no one can stop it.
Actually this is very detrimental for us because it can change the results that should already be obvious.
But it's also those with the bigger bucks who will reign supreme in sports betting.
And they can also use money from corruption which is then used for betting, and we know that is part of laundering money from the proceeds of illegal activities. And when it is money from money laundering, the amount will be huge, and we will not be able to imagine it. We can only go with the flow and hope we get lucky and win with them. After all, if we win, it's a great result for us. But if they can change the match's outcome, we have nothing to do and can only accept their loss.

~snip~
As long as the insider relationship is good, I don't think anyone will leak the information.
Actually, insider bets will only be known between one dealer and another, only 2 people or three people, and as long as the dealer is fair in distributing the results of the money, of course they always work well together without divulging any information.
Because if one leaks insider betting information, of course he will also reveal all information related to one another that has deceived many people.
No one will leak it if those involved in the bet have agreed beforehand and can take care of each other. And that seems to have happened where they can bet and benefit from it. They are the ones who will win a lot of money because they can find out more detailed information, while outsiders won't know and will experience defeat if they don't follow the dealer.

To be honest, there is not a single reason why ChatGPT could not easily help in online poker. The bot writes articles perfectly and shows creative skills. And calculations are very simple for him, because mathematics is the basis of computers and their logic. I think that there are already online scripts with a built-in ChatGPT that can play as a bot owner.
I think this will soon become a big problem.
But perhaps the online script cannot be used properly because it still requires the development of codes that are expected to help players play poker for real. We cannot deny that the development of ChatGPT has advanced so far because of the involvement of many parties working to improve the code in the bot. And if this continues for the next few years, massive shifts in various industries may change everything. Perhaps, that's what you mean as a big problem because the existence of robots can reduce labor in many industries.

 I think that replacing live labor with automation is always a good thing, because that's how the first conveyor robots were invented for monotonous work. But I always feel sorry for those people who lose their jobs because of this. After all, they were replaced and then corporations start spending less, but unemployment increases. All this leads to globalization, when the rich get richer. But there is not an obvious good side - each robot must be serviced by someone. And therefore, the workplace may not be lost, and the employee will be retrained for higher qualifications.
They will lose their jobs because robots have replaced them, so there will be no more jobs that use human hands. It will be difficult for people who are used to working like that because they have to find other jobs that are not easy to get. And I think before that happens, they have to be prepared to look for another job or they can improve their skills so that if that happens, they can still work in the company or the office. But I think it's still a few years away and won't be immediately applied in many companies or offices.

I totally agree with what you said that gambling is just fun that should be done without spending too much money and avoiding chasing defeats.
Actually it's quite easy to gamble responsibly, but people think too much of gambling as a place to multiply money and always expect to win.
Even though this gambling is like a game where there are always wins and loses without having to win continuously, gamblers ignore this problem.
When we can win several times at gambling at different times, our minds will automatically think that this is a good profit that we can get, so we will think about continuing to gamble. But unfortunately, it makes us lose and the amount this time will be bigger than our previous victory. We must be aware of this so that it does not happen to us and must prevent it before we experience it ourselves. So gambling can only be fun for us without being a way to make money.

Will the gambler ever accept the fact that gambling is for fun, I don't think the number of gamblers that have that line of thought is much and we must know how to set the priorities right and by doing so we must learn how to control the phr emotion and never to go above our boundaries.

Setting a timer could help, but having self-control helps more since that will have psychological effects on your mindset other than a timer.
Whether they accept it or continue gambling for fun and money is up to them. We must control ourselves and not indulge in our desires to continue gambling because that will harm us. We will lose money and become addicted to gambling after playing gambling for a while.

Yes, I agree that self-control can help from all the bad possibilities of gambling. And even though it seems difficult, we must convince ourselves that we can do it.

I have not heard of source game before may be it's because of my region since street gambling is a ban and illegal in my jurisdiction,  but then we may have to open up ourselves to some further questions about whether or not it the greed that drives us into them instead of paying close attention we decide to risk taking chances.
Gambling is mostly ban in some area which is not practised except it is done without the awareness of the government or people knowing about it. Whatever results we get from gambling, we should be ready to admitting the result since we are not forced to go into gambling. Those that are making money from gambling are doing that because they are prepared for whatever outcome the get from it whether is for a lose or it's for s gain.

Gambling is always a choice and if ever you’re being lured to gamble, then you should be responsible enough whatever the outcome of your decision. And to note that gambling is more on losing than gaining profits, so it’s already an initiative to never gamble an amount that you can’t manage to lose. I guess the lady is a first time gambler and she has no idea that gambling could emptied her pocket when all she believes that gambling will give her huge profits after consistent betting.
From there, we can conclude that gambling does not provide benefits but will give us defeat, so we must try to prevent too many losses. And gambling is indeed a choice, and we don't need to choose gambling to make money because many people have tried it but failed to make money and instead lost a lot of money. This is different from if we work, we can earn money for our lives. In gambling, we will only lose the money we earn at work. But she should have known that gambling could cause her to lose money instead of making big profits. Hopefully, she can learn from his experience.

There have been many examples when a gambler has no limits when playing gambling to become bankrupt, and that is a lesson for us to always remember that we must apply good management of our finances while playing. I am also a bit of a gambler in that I only play with money that I am prepared to lose. I'm thankful I can suppress my urges when I want to gamble but I don't have extra money to play with. The reason is if I force myself to play it will disrupt my financial flow in the end. So I do my best to control myself when I don't have money to play with.
It's good if we know that gambling is just fun and we don't have to pursue that pleasure to the point of spending a lot of money. And when we realize that we are only playing with money, we are ready to lose and will not chase to win because we know it is not easy to get. And I agree that we must have good self-control to avoid being tempted by the many casino games. We must limit ourselves to gambling so that we are not affected by gambling where we can experience gambling addiction.

Bitcoin does not offer loan services because it is individual, so if someone wants to buy it, he buys it with his own money. Perhaps, if someone signs up for a third party service, some services offer loans to their members so that people can borrow money to buy Bitcoins. But you have to watch out for this because usually there will be requirements that are difficult to fulfill, but we don't know the truth.

And if you want to create a company with a service to borrow money from members, you have to ask the members for guarantees so that if your members can't pay off the loan, you can take the guarantee.
