I would blame the gambler for reasons not to have gambled responsibly. That's why gambling is reserved for sensible adults. Those who can say 'No to themselves' and stand by it. Clearly your staff isn't that person and let's greed get the best of him.

He should pay up what he owes, he incurred the debt and is liable to pay.
well, maybe this is one of the mistakes of gamblers, maybe if the gambler has control and responsibility for every bet he makes, it certainly won't be like this. because we know that casino agents only offer something special for their customers and it is only the gambler who must refuse the credit offer.
if the gambler could control himself not to use large sums and control himself not to borrow more than he could, I think everything would be fine.
but nevertheless you said something true that the debt still has to be paid and it has indeed become a valuable lesson for gamblers not to make the same mistake.

But indeed for Newcastle now it looks like they want to find the fastest one because if you look at the current movements they are also preparing for Tonali even at a very large price because there has already been an offer of 70 million for the player from Milan.
Depending on who accepts the offer quickly it seems for Newcastle this time because they don't want to wait with their money this season.
yep that's right. Newcastle at the moment have a different strategy and they want some of the best players to buy and add to the Newcastle team to be able to get a title that can be scored in history.
After the success of last season, Newcastle are aggressively wanting to continue to improve their player's performance strategy to be able to get the Premier League title or even become the UCL champion. maybe it seems impossible but we will see how Man City makes new history from the past few seasons.
at a high price for Newcastle getting Tonali was not in vain because Newcastle believed this player from Milan had good talent to form a strong team at Newcastle.

Keeping it while hoping that there will be a change in regulations might be a good choice because we know how the price of Bitcoin continues to grow from time to time, but actually between Bitcoin and gambling is different because a country can ban Bitcoin but not prohibit gambling or vice versa. If the country prohibits gambling then obviously we cannot play because it will endanger ourselves whereas if Bitcoin is banned we will still be able to gamble but use fiat as payment at the casino.
but apparently neither. because what I know so far some countries may have banned gambling and also Bitcoin but in reality there are still lots of people who use Bitcoin in everything such as gambling and any investment.
and vice versa even though gambling is prohibited but there are still a large proportion of gamblers from countries that prohibit gambling to continue to gamble in various ways.

so this is actually just an illusion for me because the more sophisticated the technology, all countries will recognize what bitcoin is and it will not be possible for all countries to ban bitcoin.

as has been quoted by @AbuBhakar
getting $ 100 thousand using a budget of $ 1000 is not impossible even in 2-3 months it can be obtained as long as doing prediction research is a little complicated and of course you have to be consistent with every bet you place.
nothing is impossible to make big profit from sports betting as there is already solid proof in this forum except using $1 bankroll to get $100k win is very impossible.

Newcastle just got what they wanted to get the got the ticket for champions league even if they didn't have enough potential for it.
But for the next season, I don't think Newcastle can stay on top of the table.
Next year is expected to be harder for every team but this doesn't mean that Newcastle are any lower comparing to the others. In fact Newcastle are trying to consolidate the team especially after money joined their management.
Manchester United are doing the same too. Liverpool and Chelsea are trying to repair the damage done this year. Spurs are useless whatever they try. The other teams aren't that bad but I don't think if they could compete top teams.
at every change of season there will definitely be tough competition between other teams and of course the whole team is trying to get new, stronger players to be able to strengthen their performance in the new season. so it's not surprising if you say this because it's true that top teams like Man United, Newcastle, Man City and Liverpool will definitely be tough competition this summer because judging from their previous performance it looks like NewCastle and MU want to compete strictly and of course they will compete with Arsenal.
3487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: June 22, 2023, 03:44:00 AM
Is it possible for a casino to go bankrupt because a player gets a very big win?

I think maybe that's hard to happen if we look at casinos that are already big and well known. But suppose there is a new casino, and there are some players who are very good at playing, so they can win continuously, can the casino go bankrupt? or do they already have an algorithm or a way so players can't keep winning?
you already got the answer to your own question.
and one question from me, have you ever seen a casino go bankrupt? i think never.

old casinos or new casinos they all have a way of limiting the maximum withdrawal and deposit amount or even the maximum bet amount that the casino has offset. so that the casino will never go bankrupt even though its customers win many times.
you can check or try from some new casinos or old casinos and see they have max bet limits.
this is all i know and let me know if im wrong.

Because they usually don't buy too expensive players and don't pay them too high salary. I felt they changed their strategy a little with the transfer of Osimhen two seasons ago. I also believe Napoli will sell Osimhen soon so they will not break their salary policy for their star players. If Napoli continue their transfer and salary policies, they will maintain good finance in future but with such strategy, they will hardly win another Scudetto.
whereas for me it was actually a mistake for Napoli to sell Osimhen and this is one of their best players. but however maybe this has become Napoli's strategy to keep balancing their finances which may have a bit of a problem so they are forced to sell Osimhen to be able to get new players in the transfer market later.
losing the best players is not a good choice because Napoli without several excellent players is very difficult to win the Scudetto unless you can get other top players in the transfer market.

As far as I can see the best thing PSG can do about their players like Mbappe who won't extend his contract is to keep him for another season when his contract ends and until that time they can use this player to achieve their goals. Also, PSG would use another coach and Luis Enrique can be a good option for them in the next season while they still can have Zidane as their first priority.

it is a little difficult to keep Mbappe to stay at PSG while Mbappe has the goal of leaving PSG and getting a better team to be able to win the champions league title.
because this champion league title is one of the dreams that Mbappe had to get a long time ago and by joining PSG this Mbappe cannot get what he wants and on the other hand there are many rumors that will buy this reliable player and one of them is Man City and Real Madrid.
but I think Mbappe will at least stay at PSG until January 2024 and for the PSG coach it seems that Zidane has no interest in becoming a PSG coach.

Manchester City has their policy to allow players to leave their clubs if those players submit a request and show that they are no longer want to contribute for the club. Gundogan is not an exception and his age is another factor to help him leaving from Manchester City.
you are right that Man City might allow Gündogan to leave City because he is indeed quite old. so that Man City has the goal of releasing Gündogan and trying to find young players who have better talent to be able to bring Man City to the defending champion in the champions league.
I know maybe Guardiola has another new dream to keep winning the treble again in the new season so he sells several players who are not performing well to welcome next summer.

 A good alternative remedy is not to let those who you love to stay alone.

If you will take some time to spend with them, the chance that they will divert some of their attentions and that will help
them to speak about something. Though there are people who are not vocal but the companionship will allow them to
lose focus on what they are doing. It helps not to let them getting addicted.
exactly. family is one of the drugs that can help an addict distract from gambling.
because family can help provide any motivational spirit to get rid of thoughts of gambling and on the one hand family is the main factor for gambling addicts to be able to recover from their addiction.

Even though the Riyadh Master has quite a large prize pool and is almost similar to TI, the TI tournament is the tournament that every team wants to win later on.
of course. TI is one of the biggest match tournaments in dota 2 with huge prizes so the whole team will fight for the title to get TI dota 2 aegis and of course a huge prize.
from this DPC match we can already predict who has already qualified for TI and who will become the champion of The International dota 2 later. it's not only the dota 2 team that will benefit from the TI tournament later but as bettors we can benefit from betting on this match.

I'm not sure if my answer has been answered by other people here, but what I know is that all decisions are up to the gambler himself.
but that doesn't mean that I fully blame gamblers because betting agents should also consider before giving credit permission to customers whose work they don't know.
well, from here it's clear that both of them are wrong because they both want to benefit each other. like gamblers get the advantage of gambling using credit and betting agents can benefit because they have succeeded in taking a lot of profit from the losses that have been obtained by gamblers.

Not all casinos offer fee-free withdrawal options, especially small online crypto casinos avoid this option and deduct the withdrawal fee from the player's balance. Using alternative coins such as TRX or XRP can be a suitable option for such players because of the cheap transaction commission and faster processing speed. BTW, some big casinos offer a free withdrawal option after the player reaches the specific VIP level. Bc.game is included in last category since they offer free withdrawal after VIP level 38 while Stake and DuelBits always have fee-based withdrawals for users.
for me actually the problem of expensive transaction fees is not too complicated because we as gamblers have many other coin choices that have cheaper costs as you said such as using TRX.

btw I want to ask because I'm no longer active on the site you mentioned, does the VIP rating on the site you mentioned still have a free withdrawal feature until now? because what I know maybe the site used to have this feature but I haven't been active there for a long time.

As per the title of the thread, this is what happens in a friendly match which is very difficult to predict. Grin

Like the results of the friendly matches between Brazil vs Senegal and Germany vs Colombia which were unexpected, the hosts lost in this match. It should be obvious Brazil and Germany will win this friendly and there will likely be so many bettors who lose money betting on the team that is the favorite to win. It's no wonder why this could happen to Germany because out of 15 official/non-official matches Germany only won 3 times. Meanwhile, Brazil did not make sense this time and even though Brazil has the best goalkeeper in the Champions League this season, namely Ederson, they conceded 4 goals instead.
maybe my mistake betting carelessly.
Initially I placed a draw bet because I watched this match live and I saw the two teams between Indonesia and Argentina trying to draw a bit and after that I decided to place a draw bet.
even though in the first half Paredes was able to score the first goal, I still believe that Indonesia can keep up with Argentina's game by scoring 1 goal.
but in the end not according to my predictions.

It's true that friendly matches are full of surprises.  Cheesy

Betting is all about luck, because the chance of winning is only a few percent of the total money you bet.

That's not true, you could place bets with 99% chance of winning. More important factor to consider is the house edge.
How can a gambler bet with a 99% chance of winning?
As long as I play gambling, I have never come across this opportunity. If anything, it's only very low Odds but comes with a great deal of risk because to make a decent profit requires large amounts of money to be wagered.

Talking about the house edge, there is no such thing as a house edge that lets gamblers win easily.

don't know where he got the idea of placing bets with 99% chance of winning. but that's the dilemma by most users, thinking of their chance but in reality, it is not.
if he believes he has that kind of chance, he should be taking advantage of the game he believes has this chance of winning. and for sure, he will learn quick that it is not what it seems to be.
@tusandii @AmoreJaz
try to understand again the words that I marked were spoken by @pawel.

he said about placing a bet with a 99% chance of winning not about a guaranteed win but what @pawel meant was always considering the house edge like a 1% dice game.

I'll give a simple example and to the best of my knowledge so sorry if it's wrong.
for example, you bet on a dice game with a 99% chance of winning. maybe from a few spins you get a win but after a few spins you will hit this 1% which is determined by the house edge.

maybe my explanation is enough to understand. but if my explanation is wrong, please correct it.

If Manchester city coach can maintain his potential players till next season, I think the opportunity to embrace the title is there for them because we saw the excellent performance they displayed in this season that made them to over take many teams to maintain the first position till the end of the tournament. Despite, other teams are signing new potential players in this summer, I don't think they can still withstand Manchester city next season because Manchester city coach is a talented coach and he will like to bring new tactics that will improve the players more in next season to defeat any strong team.
for the next few seasons it looks like Man City will continue to dominate the premier league and for next summer it looks like there is a new dream for Man City to win the champions league title again and of course Man City management will retain their best players or even add some talented players from the transfer market to strengthen Man City's performance.
After successfully winning the treble title, all the Man City players and coaches became more enthusiastic about being able to get more trophies.

of the options you have listed this seems to be for professional gamblers. and for ordinary gamblers like me, it really doesn't need to be this complicated, but just betting responsibly and having a commitment with the bankroll you have.
I mean as long as we gamble using money that we can afford to lose with a small budget and always commit to a minimum bet amount, this will prevent us from big losses in gambling. unless gamblers only think about profits and maybe the options written by OP are very good to apply to betting strategies.

Casinos will also have it in the future when AI is widely used, and gamblers have also started using it to increase their winning chances. So casinos must be careful in anticipating this by looking for solutions to beat gamblers who use AI. Casinos can still beat gamblers who don't use AI or who don't know how to operate AI. But the casinos will surely have a hard time beating gamblers who understand how AI works because those gamblers really know how to figure out how to win. We may see that the competition between casinos and gamblers for wins will be tougher. So let's just wait.
don't worry the casino will be smarter than the gambler.
I mean whatever dares to compete with the casino or wants to beat the casino, of course the casino already has a way to prevent this problem from happening.
so there is no way to beat the casino using AI or to take advantage of the casino using AI even though AI has been developed more perfect but the casino will be more perfect with an anti AI system.

A question that bothers me concerning this issue is;
1. Do gambling addicts ever take a second thought on what the consequences of their actions can be not just to them but on those close to them? 
2. Do they in reality genuinely feel any remorse about  how those affected by their actions might be feeling? 
3. Or, are they a dispassionate victim of their own uncontrollable addictive gambling lifestyle?
first of all gambling addicts also have a sense of regret and he can also think twice about what they are going to do. but that feeling of guilt and positive thinking will just disappear and be forgotten with the addiction that has taken over his own mind.
for example, the gambler stole his wife's jewelry, even though before doing this the gambler thought about whether this was the right behavior, but the addiction in his mind replied that stealing his wife's jewelry would not be a problem because if he later won at gambling, he would definitely be replaced, but in the end he lost again.
and after that because of the defeat he got he came home with a sense of regret for stealing his wife's jewelery and he started to get emotional with gambling doing the same thing stealing valuables again in the hope of chasing defeat to take back the money he had lost at gambling and would do negative things like it's continuous.

so that the gambling addict has been controlled by thoughts that have always chased previous losses because of a sense of emotion that overpowers these positive thoughts.
