You've done a great job of keeping your money in crypto because if we deposit money in the bank, we get nothing but paying fees every month. And the value of our money will not be able to increase but decrease until finally, our money in the bank runs out if we don't save every month, but that also doesn't guarantee that we can get good interest because of those costs.

The economic situation in my country seems to be stable and under control even though there has been a slight increase in basic goods, but so far, it's still good. We hope the government can solve every problem, but we cannot rely too much on the government. For this reason, we must prepare for our future by investing in bitcoin. And I think that step is right for those of us who have invested a certain amount of money each month to prepare for our future.

As a player when you already see that you cannot win immediately, the best thing is to stop the losses, and the only way to stop the losses is not to play anymore, I don't know any other way, and even if our adrenaline demands us to continue playing we must do everything the possible to dominate with reason but not with emotion, I know that the aspect that we feel that things did not turn out as they should cause some frustration for the loss, but it is better that way than having a greater frustration of losing everything, I prefer to lose only a part and not all my capital, because that is much sadder. 
I wouldn't call it a strategy, but I use that method all the time, whenever you are playing on a slot machine, when you start spinning, after a few spins, you will come to know if the machine is going to pay off or not, and that is the moment when you need to take the decision and stop right there, you should take a break and come back later.

It worked a lot of times for me, but I don't guarantee it would work for everyone. For me, when I see luck is not on my side, I know it's useless to just keep wasting money and I should try again later with the same money and I may get something out of it.
Perhaps, it's not a strategy, but it's a way to avoid bigger losses, and by stopping playing gambling, we have tried not to experience more losses. Usually, when we play slot games, after playing a few rounds (usually 100x or more), we will see how much balance we still have, and from there, we can decide how much money we have lost.

So by stopping that, we prevent the next loss, which will reduce our balance. It's better to stop first and continue gambling another time because we might be luckier than today. And maybe that can also be said as a strategy for playing gambling to avoid big losses.
3403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sending bank statement for verification on: May 17, 2023, 04:35:30 PM
A bank statement is a reliable document to verify the identity of a user, and yes, you can provide a bank statement as long as the transactions on that statement are not significant enough to put your personal security at risk. Banks are obligated to keep our records confidential due to bank secrecy laws, so sharing it with a casino may pose some risks. However, as long as the transactions are not substantial enough to jeopardize your personal safety, it can be considered acceptable.
Yeah I think people aren't comfortable because they worried if something bad will happen due to their big holdings in banks. However from this case we can learn to create a new bank account on other banks, don't hold a lot money, use this bank account for gambling or other risky activities, so you will not worried in case the casino or centralized site ask your bank statements.
But still, the bank can suspect our new account, especially if we often transact by sending money to the casino site and will ask us to verify it. Maybe the bank will ask us to check whether we are responsible gamblers and really have good control of gambling.

And those who use a bank account for transactions should be careful with all the possibilities that can occur. And if they want to send a bank statement document, they must make sure the casino is really trusted in maintaining the confidentiality of the data of its members.
3404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question about slot machines and RTP on: May 17, 2023, 03:47:08 PM
Some gamblers like to play the latest slot games launched by casinos, and some continue to play them frequently and rarely check the list of new slot games added by casinos. Each slot game in the casino has its own fan, and the providers know this, so they launch slot games that may be almost the same as those already on the list of slot games in casinos. Some gamblers pay attention and check how high the RTP is, and some gamblers don't even care about the RTP, like me, who chose the slot games I like. Although I sometimes play the newest slot games that are in the casino. Gamblers only care about how they win at slot games and will probably keep playing the same game every time they gamble.
3405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Questions of the day for gamblers on: May 17, 2023, 02:27:40 PM
If a casino claims to decentralized,  then I believe  same thing should also apply to their games and transparency  should also be seen to prove this decentralization.

Well I don't think one should boldly hit their chest to claim good when playing on slot machines because these games are basically  luck base but of recent I've heard of slot machine who gives extra chances to players to show their skills which means slot is also skill based but I think its more of luck than skill.

I don't know  of any slot that has to regulate their own games and I wouldn't have to even play on such slot machines if I ever get to find out that the games are been regulated by them because there isn't any chances of winnings over there.
But in reality, decentralized based casinos ask their members to do KYC especially those who manage to win a lot of money. That's because the government is watching them and trying to pressure them to follow the government's rules.

The casino could use or arrange its original slot game because it's already there in the casino and not from a third party. But if they do that and get caught by the members, the casino will be abandoned because it's unfair. Even though some gamblers often play real casino slot games, this can disappoint them.
3406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things that still make feel awkward with some online casinos on: May 17, 2023, 01:28:09 PM
The withdrawal fee is charged to the gamblers but there may also be a withdrawal fee paid from the casino although we have to find and confirm it through the support service. And it also happens on exchanges where we as traders also have to pay a withdrawal fee which is taken from our withdrawal amount. It seems like it's to cover the costs that the casino or exchange should have incurred so they did it that way. And it is also income for the casino because of those costs there must be something the casino or exchange can keep. So we shouldn't be surprised by that.
3407  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational Parade on: May 17, 2023, 12:26:05 PM
I don't think the parade will work to awaken people who are already gambling because I feel it is people's choice to gamble or stay away from gambling. Of course, some people will continue to gamble, covertly or openly, because they are used to gambling, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to stop. Perhaps, it can help if people keep reminding and inviting people who often gamble to do something so they won't think about gambling. Besides that, with today's technological developments, people can play gambling quietly and will not tell their friends that they are still gambling.
3408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BEST TIMEZONE FOR SPORTsBETTING on: May 17, 2023, 11:24:35 AM
It's okay if you have time to bet on sports betting because it can help you manage betting moments. But I don't use it because I don't think it's needed. What's important is that when I want to bet, I can check who will fight, and if I'm interested, I'll place the bet immediately. If I miss placing a bet, that's also okay because I think there are still many sports bets that I can choose to bet on and that will also allow me to analyze each team that will compete.
3409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 17, 2023, 10:17:50 AM
Normal gamblers mindset in terms of playing. If you a responsible gambler you always stick to your plan and limits. Gambling gives too much excitements to the players reason why they urge to play more.
almost all gamblers find it difficult to do that, being responsible and sticking to the original plan is difficult for a gambler. although there are gamblers who have succeeded in implementing all of them. but I think there will be more gamblers who will not be satisfied with what they won. even more, gamblers will chase bigger wins.
all of this applies to all gamblers across a wide range of games, even those who bet on sports betting. planned to only bet $100, but in reality they could bet much more than that.

That's a human nature, we are born to be discontented - so whether you gamble for fun of for profit as your priority, there will always be a time that you will go beyond your limit. Well, being a responsible gambler doesn't only mean setting a limit and following it every single time.  Being a responsible gambler also means, you are mentally capable of accepting losses and know when to stop to avoid emptying your pocket or your whole month of paycheck.
Winning in gambling isn't really that hard if our satisfactory level doesnt set at higher standards like $100/day, because that's almost impossible to achieve. Winning $1 is still a win which means you have not lost anything plus you have enjoyed your stay in the casino. That's one way of being responsible.
However difficult it may be to be a responsible gambler, we must keep at it to prevent the worst situations. And the worst thing is that we can become addicted to gambling, and once we are addicted, it will be more difficult to cure. So playing gambling is normal, but we must remember that setting limits is very important to avoid bigger losses so that even though we have experienced defeat, we can still be responsible for our remaining money. Let the other gamblers continue playing gambling because they want to win or even recover their losses. We must stop immediately when we have experienced a losing streak.
3410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 17, 2023, 09:26:23 AM
Even if you are not in green, you've lost a significant amount but it was what you had decided as the budget for your gambling activities for a certain period of time, that is where you need to stop and don't gamble anymore until the time resets and you get the allocated funds to renew again, but most people don't do this.

Things get out of hand when you don't have a dedicated budget for gambling or even if you have one, you don't act according to it and gamble more even if the budget has been lost already, that is the wrong approach and never does any good.
It is important to determine a budget for gambling so that you will not cross your limits and be able to stop when your budget is running low or the time you use for gambling is running out. And not many people indeed do this because they are so tempted to continue gambling that they forget to set those boundaries.

They are even more tempted when they can win some money so they will be even more excited to keep playing gambling. And when they continue, it's time for their money to spin and lose more than their win. We really have to prevent this from happening so that the money we deposit doesn't run out that day.
3411  Economy / Gambling / Re: Researching for Upcoming Game on: May 16, 2023, 04:58:33 PM

For this reason, if people can visit this forum regularly, they can find many things related to crypto, not only gambling, and it will open their eyes to gain a lot of knowledge about crypto. But sadly, there are still people looking for casinos who experience scams perpetrated by casinos and end up complaining in this forum. Those of us here who don't know much about the casino can't help them either because the casino has no representation in this forum. Scams will always occur depending on how they can protect themselves while gambling at one or several casinos.

At this time in life it is imperative that people quickly look for information of all kinds,forums like bitcointalk are what normally give very Specific information to be able to do anything safely,the Community has experience in gambling and they have players who are whales,in addition the have verified everything in the casinos and can do many things that a Player has not done, that is why it is so important to review which casinos are the most Reliable in the forum,in this sense it could be said that we can differ from other casinos thanks to the reputation that bitcointalk has.

If people could directly find this Bitcointalk forum through search engines, social media, or other sites, they would not have a bad experience of feeling cheated by a scam casino. And for people who want to create a new casino, you can also interact with us here to find out what games you want to add to the new casino so they can immediately work and create a casino with a different look. But those people may have their own views on making casinos, and maybe they follow the existing trends.
3412  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: May 16, 2023, 04:02:01 PM
Your example is considered as gambling because you have something to lose (regardless of if it is money or not) since you'll treat your friends for being the one who lose the bet. It is also quite common for us to have bet with family or friends in something but it doesn't involve money directly as the price, it's still gambling.

However, if the prize is replaced by money, but you'll not lose anything if ever you didn't win then it is not gambling. The prediction contest without asking you to risk your money is like a giveaway though the chance to win is slim.
Well, I think so because sometimes I am in a situation like that. Maybe not for those who have never or rarely been in the same situation. But I don't know. People have different perceptions about this. Perhaps, it seems that it depends on the object or subject so that it can be categorized as gambling or competition.
I agree with what @lienfaye has said because anything that risks goods or money with the aim of multiplying is gambling.
But on the other hand, it is also true that everyone's perceptions must be different on this matter because everyone's thoughts will never be the same.
It's just that the name of risking anything if you have the opportunity to lose and also gain is the same as gambling.
If you say competition doesn't make sense because it's risking for the sake of profit.
In gambling or betting there is no word perception of competition that there only wins or loses except in business maybe it is more acceptable to say competition.
I also agree with what he said because the name of betting could not only use money. And look around us, many people who have bet using many things and have fun doing it. I remember betting on the world cup or local football games with my cousins in school. And we don't use money because our parents forbade gambling. And even so, it already makes us happy to do it quietly Grin
Reminds me of my elementary School days, even though we were children then, we were still forbidden from gambling, and one might want to ask how we get money as children?
How we get money was easy, there are days we don't have what to eat in the morning before leaving for school, our parent will give us a small amount of money to buy food either on our way to school or during school break, some children save this money or part of it and use it to play games with their friends, for us (that is me and my siblings) we were clearly warned and forbidden from ever gambling) but still, we still enjoyed some games in the form of gambling, but we do not stake money so our parents don't see it as gambling.
It also reminds me because I used it to gamble with my childhood friends, but I didn't tell anyone Grin.

Well, childhood often makes us remember because that's where we get many interesting and unforgettable experiences. And at that time, we never thought that what we were doing was included in gambling. There are also times when we gamble but don't use money with friends, and that is also a fun experience with them.
3413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Online casino always take risks? on: May 16, 2023, 03:03:09 PM
I am just curious about how does online casino pay for their promotion on their influencers? Where does their earning comes from? How will you get scammed when you try online casino? How can you tell that online casino is safe?
if you ask where gambling sites get income, of course they make money from player and sponsor deposits besides that the influencers they pay, of course that is payment that occurs privately as an endorsement and the nominal received by each influencer will be different

it is important for you to carefully read the high-fives from each gambling site so that you don't get caught up in the dirty tricks of some fraudulent gambling sites, besides that, don't take risks by playing on new gambling sites, focus on old gambling sites that already have a big reputation
And gambling sites earn income from people who play gambling and lose. It is from the many people who lose that casinos can carry out promotions and pay influencers to help promote their gambling sites. Also, if online casinos have earned a reputation, they may accept offers from other companies or sponsors to display the company logo so that people can use that company too.

And it is true that to avoid scam casinos, be careful in choosing the casino. Don't be tempted by the offers provided by the casinos because the more attractive the offer and looks good to be real, the more likely it will become a scam.
Online gambling, a real spectacle. Fortunes made, fortunes lost. Casinos? They cash in on player losses, funding their flashy promotions and influencer partnerships. It's a give-and-take between the gamblers and the house.

But beware the glimmer can blind you. Just like the saying goes, "Not all that glitters is gold!" Scam casinos are out there, reeling you in with tempting offers. Watch out! They're often hiding something.

To beat the odds in this online game, you've got to be a sharp gambler. Research, learn from the best, choose casinos that play it straight. That's how you dodge scams and start an adventure you won't forget.
We already have experience playing gambling at scam casinos, so we can prevent ourselves from playing there. Don't be swayed by exciting offers from casinos that we don't know. It's the best advice we've ever gotten, so we must be careful. And it is true that casinos take most of the profits from losing gamblers and use that money to do promotions to attract more gamblers to play in their casinos.

But I'm afraid that in the future many people who are inexperienced in choosing a casino will get sucked into such attractive offers so that they will not only lose money but also feel disappointed and frustrated. And we can only help warn them to always look for more information lest they play at those scam casinos.
3414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 16, 2023, 02:01:06 PM
That's why I said it was a mistake if someone committed suicide because of his problem. They have to be able to get up and not give up and try to finish well and realize that it was a mistake they had made.

I have felt that pain, but I can still think that committing suicide is a wrong action and should be avoided. In addition, suicide is also prohibited in any religion. But some people cannot survive and get up after experiencing bankruptcy in gambling and eventually die of recurrent heart disease.

Indeed it is a mistake to take owns life, but coward people wanted the easy way out without thinking the people they left behind will be the one to suffer.  Not only coward but also inconsiderate and selfish.
They only think of using a shortcut to end everything. They lost even when they became addicted to gambling before finally taking their own lives, thinking that was the best they could do without ever thinking there was anything they could do. If they think long and hard about trying to change everything they do, it looks like there is still a way, but of course, it requires the support of everyone around them. Without the support of the people around them, they are alone and without any strength to get up and realize their mistakes.
Not because of cowardice or just want to take a shortcut to end his life so that their debt is paid off.
There are so many people in my city who are addicted to gambling that almost kill themselves or commit suicide because sometimes when emotions run high mixed with disappointment, it will definitely take away their common sense which results in a gambling addict committing suicide.
What I'm still thinking about is why it's so easy for people to commit suicide while having a family that is ready to support them.
I think it's because they don't want to suffer any longer and can't find a way out of their problem, so they feel suicide is the best way for them. We may have seen how they are depressed to endure their suffering, and they have to pay their debts when they are billed even though they can't pay them. And they no longer have anything with which to pay off their debts. And it causes the biggest disappointment in their life, so they don't think about continuing their life by looking for another way to pay their debts. And this condition is exacerbated by family members who stay away and don't care about him, so he has to bear everything alone.

3417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sending bank statement for verification on: May 15, 2023, 03:22:30 PM
I would like to examine the situation from two perspectives. Firstly, how does he verify the bank? And secondly, does the casino have a physical location where you can go if things go wrong? Most new businesses with an online presence usually have a forum or a group where you can discuss issues related to the business, get information, and make inquiries.

The way I understand it, he played at online casino, failed to provide documents required for KYC and now the casino demands additional documents (bank statement).
In a normal situation, an online crypto casino will not want your bank statement, as you aren't withdrawing to a bank, nor playing in the casino using a fiat currency. It will only be asked when other means of verifying identity fail.
In this case, it looks like he made a mistake, so the casino asked him to send us additional documents in his bank statements. We can assume that he used a bank account to withdraw his money, so the casino found a record in his account and asked him to verify it using the bank account. Or am I wrong about this?

And usually, online crypto casinos ask for our ID to verify the account, and that's enough. But perhaps, the casino can check his account through his bank statement records so that the verification process can go smoothly and he can withdraw the money.

Many people are satisfied with what they have got even though we often find in chatting with friends they want to get more. But they don't want to do anything else to be able to get better financially by getting more income. They can earn more income even if they want to do even better.

The financial satisfaction of a successful person does not depend on what he produces because it is relative. Those who receive less feel it is enough for them, so they do not want to try to find more.

And if you are doing business, you must have a well-thought-out plan to run the business according to the plan and achieve the goals you want so that it doesn't waste time, effort and money on promotion.

~snip~
The truth is that every single game in a casino has higher odds for the house to win, so eventually the gambler will lose everything to the house.
The casino has higher odds of being won by the house, but that doesn't stop gamblers from trying their luck. They don't seem to care about that and keep trying to play because they might get lucky in the next round. And that makes them keep playing slot games even though they know they can lose anytime. And this is where we have to be wise in playing gambling games, and if the opportunity to win doesn't come, we don't need to continue playing because it will only waste our money. But some people keep going so well, and it's up to them.
