361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tim Tszyu - Seabastian Fundora For The WBC And WBO Super Welterweight March 30 on: March 31, 2024, 11:45:40 AM
Fundora’s freakish height caused this to become a really messy and bloody fight after Tszyu’s head clashed with Fundora’s elbow. I expected this fight to be stopped by the ringside doctor or the referee but the pace slowed down significantly and the injuries on both fighters didn’t get too much worse.

Despite the height difference Tszyu was still able to hit Fundora cleanly and it looked early on like he would get a clear win. Unfortunately, the cut was affecting his vision. This allowed Fundora to jab his way to a close decision victory. The situation with the titles now becomes complicated because Crawford successfully petitioned the WBO to become mandatory but PBC had other plans involving Errol Spence. Tszyu also deserves a rematch against Fundora.

I would agree, the referee should stop the fight as obviously that elbow really did damage to Tszyu. But they let it go throughout the next 10 rounds and we can that if affected Tim in the fight.

I think it boils down to Fundora's decision, he is the champion, so he can either go with the rematch in Australia, or fight Crawford as per WBO. So let's see what his decision is. But for me, I wanted a rematch for Tim, I think he deserves if after what happened in this fight. And Fundora should be all-in to settle this score. He will have to travel though to Tim's Australia.

It's one of the bloodiest fights I've seen, both fighters soaking wet with each other's blood Tim Tszyu loses his focus because the blood is dripping in his eyes and he doesn't want to slug it out with Fundora because the punches might aggravate and worsen those cuts.

I have it drawn in my scorecard, but it can either way, but both fighters deserve a rematch Fundora proves he is ready to become a champion.
Checking the poll I created no one among us voted for Fundora, so we can call this an upset?

Tim Tszyu by KO   - 8 (100%)
Tim Tszyu By Decision   - 0 (0%)
Fundora  By KO   - 0 (0%)
Fundora  By Decision   - 0 (0%)

I only get to see the highlight of the fight it is a massacre of Isaac Cruz on Rolly Romero, Isaac Cruz is unstoppable pummeling him with a barrage of punches.

Isaac is very motivated to hurt Romero right from the start because of the insult and Romero thinks that he can hurt Isaac but the Pitbull just eats up his punches.
This is the second loss of Romero and the second stoppage of his career maybe this will end his bragging and insulting his opponents.

It's just so funny that the two fighters who stop him are small guys who he insulted, I guess this is the end of the road for Romero.
363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: House always wins? The case of Trump Plaza. on: March 31, 2024, 12:41:15 AM

Have you ever heard about casinos this big failing to the point they need to be completely demolished before? Because I have not.



Davidvictorson, already provided the information that Trump has nothing to do with the casino they used his name to become a popular casino, and in turn, Trump got a share of the revenue, that's the easiest way for Trump to make money out of his reputation so he has nothing to regret if it has blown up.
And in the question of the house always winning, they have the house edge so they are on the advantage against every player.

It's not their edge but the competition among casino owners especially in online casinos, big and well-established casinos are eating up the newly launched and small casinos and if the small casinos cannot keep up with the promotion they will likely close, same goes with physical casinos, they need to keep old clients coming back and new players coming in.

Online and offline casinos are profitable provided they can keep up with their marketing there's an influx of new players and they can maintain their reputation.
364  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: March 30, 2024, 03:52:47 PM
The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.
It's not only on the understanding but on the character of the individual, some people started to gamble and once they experience winnings and how easy it is because they get lucky on the days they started to play, they will throw everything they know about how to get addicted to gambling, these people have weak characters

Quote
I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.
We don't have data to sustain but coming from my experience, I knew that gambling addiction will lead you to bad things, but I eventually got hooked to gambling, and I'm just thankful that I found a way out.

Quote
I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.
There's no guarantee of that gambling, companies already have warnings on their terms and on their homepage but those addicted to gambling or those who are starting just ignored that warning, I believe casinos want their players to be responsible gamblers and want to warn people about the harm of gambling addiction.
They don't want to be portrayed as evil in the eyes of society they promote themselves as an entertainment portal.
365  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Tuloy Ang pag Ban Ng Binance Sa Pinas At Posibleng Dahilan. on: March 30, 2024, 03:16:44 PM

Unfair kasi talaga sa mga local exchange natin na may license tapos nagbabayad ng tax sa government natin while yung mga international exchange kagaya ng Binance ay ang pinaka nakikinabang sa pera ng PH users tapos no license at tax. Ayos din itong regulation para maging fair sa mga local business natin pero sana talaga mag step up naman itong mga local exchange natin para magprovide ng high liquidity sa orderbook dahil napaka baba ng volume sa mga exchange natin while sobrang taas ng price spread kya sobrang nakakatamad gamitin compared sa Binance at iba pang international exchange na sobrang taas ng volume at liquidity.

Kung susuporta lang talaga ang lahat ng PH user sa sariling exchange ay kakayanin din natin na magkaroon ng matinong exchange na masasabi natin sariling atin talaga. Takot kasi mga banking natin na pumasok sa crypto exchange business kaya sobrang tagtuyot ng liquidity sa mga local crypto exchange natin dahil walang namumuhunan.
yon ang tamang point here , nasasaktan lang ang karamihan sa atin dahil talaga namang binance users na tayo for many years now but yah paano naman yong mga local exchange at yong mga international exchange na kailangang mag comply sa licensing pero binance ang humahakot ng pera para sa mga users na pinoy?
tama lang din talagang mangyari  muna to  para naman lahat ng exchange eh need sumunod sa batas natin at makuhaan ng tamang pagbubuwis.

Sumasang ayon ako dyan ang bola talaga ay nasa Binance para maging fair ang labanan sa taxes kasi nasilip na rin ng mga regulators yung laki ng kita ng mga malalaking exchange tulad ng Binance, pero kung nagawa nila ito sa Binance maaring gawin na rin ito sa mga popular na exchange na ipapalit ng mga kababayan natin.

May mga thread dito na nag rerecomend ng mga international exchange, kahit ako naghahanap na rin pero hindi ko inaaalis na pwede rin nila itong i ban pag naging very popular na dahil sa kaparehong feature tulad sa Binance.

Kaya wag tayo pa kampante nag oobserba pa rin ang mga regulators dito sa atin.
366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What nature of the the rewarding games would you prefer playing with friends on: March 30, 2024, 01:53:25 PM
When I'm in with the company of friends and we decide to have a game I want something that will build our relationship so I don't I will recommend the loser shouldering the cost of the events.

I prefer that we pool all our money and the winners get special food or drinks or anything, games should be friendly there should be no place for cheating, and no one is pressured to win.

It's different when you are in the company of your friends, the atmosphere should be light and there's no pressure or quarrel and everyone will go home thinking that they have fun and we all feel looking forward to the next event.
367  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can family members help a gambling addict? on: March 30, 2024, 12:42:00 PM
Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction?
As a friend, I have a responsibility to tell his loved ones about his condition, so they will know what course of action they will take and they will not be surprised by his actions and manners, the family also suffers if one member of their family suffers from addiction, they are the one who can help because they know very well the member of his family and if they decide to rehabilitate their addicted loved ones they will be the one to should the cost and spend the time, so they have the right to know the condition

Quote
Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.
It can help because of their ties with one another, and the only effective way to cure addiction is through rehabilitation, it is the only way to take out the symptoms, the rehabilitation center has a facility conducive to those who want to take out addiction to their system.
368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rolando Romero-Isaac Cruz to meet on March 30 in Las Vegas. on: March 29, 2024, 03:43:09 PM
^^ if we look at the odds though, it seems that odd makers see Cruz winning this fight. I think it's based on Romero's recent performance as he really didn't look good but we all know that Cruz is a pressure fighter.

But if Rolly Romero changes his style and likely be the aggressor, then we might be looking for a knockout win by either fighter. If he caught Cruz, we will see if his chin is strong, or if Cruz landed one of his wild shots, can Rolly withstand that?


Both are knockout artists they both have good records, and the fight could go either way but I like Isaac Cruz chances because he can take punches, he eats up Gervonta's punches something that Rolly Romero failed to do and if they slug it out Isaac has a better chances because he can do rapid punches compared to Roly Romero who picks his punches.
The Tszyu - Fundora match will be exciting to watch but this match will even match or surpass the excitement
369  Other / Off-topic / Re: What if an employee of a betting company misuses company funds for gambling? on: March 29, 2024, 03:19:55 PM
Do you think a betting company or casino will understand and not arrest an employee who has access to company funds and then misuses it for gambling? If this employee claims that he is battling from gambling addiction, will he be considered for a lighter punishment? If you own such a casino or betting platform, what will you do to such an employee, understanding that addiction to gambling can make people make decisions that are unexpected.

This is a betrayal of trust and malversation of funds or can even go to qualified theft, gambling addiction is not a good reason why you steal from your company.

The company puts you in that position because they trust you. You are so lucky if your manager forgives you but even if you are forgiven you should pay the money that you diverse, because if the manager tolerates your wrongdoing and forgives you without paying.

Those who will hear this story will think that using other people's money is ok as long as you ask for forgiveness.
It is okay to forgive and to make mistakes is human but you have to be responsible for all your mistakes and pay for them.
370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does affilate programs work in casinos? on: March 29, 2024, 02:47:12 PM
You need to be a gambler to become a good affiliate, some casinos have dedicated domains for their affiliate and some of them have tutorials on how to promote their casino, they even provide everything, like banners, bonuses, and giveaways all you have to do is to get your affiliate link and promote on places where casino links are allowed.

Promoting a casino and getting leads is not that easy you need to have your platform and a reputation for gamblers to trust you and sign up using your link because they know you are going to get a portion of what they deposit, which is why some marketers are offering cashback to their referrals and to motivate their referrals to deposit and play more
371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: March 29, 2024, 02:17:09 PM
I was just playing Hi-Lo, making small dollar bets, if it's 5 number card I select higher card and win, if it's 10 number then I go with 'low' and win.

Then I was greeted with Ace card, minimal possibility for equal card right (i.e, Ace), so I go all in, and guess what happens, the result is Ace means I lost the bet.

Then I have all sorts of thoughts blaming casino, like do they manipulate the result of the game when user goes all in. I am sure they are all fair, it's just that the possibility of losing the game may be minimal but it's never 0.

It's rare but it happens, who would have imagined that only one card would beat you but it did beat you, it happened to a friend and it made him lose his faith but things like this happen, there are cases when you lose all hope to win because of the odds but you beat the odds, just like what an upset in sports, it also happens in luck-based games.
I'm sure when faced with the same situation you will not go all out with your bets.
372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been kicked out of a casino? on: March 29, 2024, 01:37:37 PM


Have you been in this situation before?
It's a pleasure to hear your story.

It's not me but my group on a gambling platform in our fiesta, we are so noisy that we become unruly that the operators called up the security on our localities to throw us out of the premises.
It's a lesson learned from me, and from then go I only go with friends who I think will not cause a scene, when we are in a gambling premises we have to respect people's space and privacy.

In online casinos, I have never been restricted or thrown out the only cases you will be restricted are violations of the rules and cheating or exploiting the platform you're playing.

As long as you have a good standing in the online casino you're playing, you will not encounter any issues, Casinos want their players to stay as long as they do not violate any terms.
373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: User experience Trends in Online Gambling: What's Next? on: March 28, 2024, 03:51:08 PM


This discussion aims to discover what users really value and want to see in the development of online casinos.


When it comes to features and development there's really not much to talk about but to improve what's already been there, and these are bug-free platforms, with responsive and fair support, continuous marketing, and fair treatment of gamblers.
Gamblers know what they are looking for on a platform and the platform knows how to please its clients so the platform should work in the best interest of its players, there's a lot of competition in the casino industry the casino that can give the best experience will get the players' money and attention.
374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: March 28, 2024, 02:14:04 PM


Does gambling excites you? What motivates you, winning or just the fun in it ?


There are two things why people gamble, the excitement and the potential profit, a lot of games are exciting to play, and you will come back again and again because of the thrill and the excitement and you will come back for more if you experience winning while feeling excited.

Every gambler has their favorite games that excite them, mine are Crash game, mine Sweeper, and of course dice games we cannot get over these games, and some gamblers' primary motives for gambling is the profit, although it's useless to think that way, they still believe that they can beat the house with diligent research.
375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How about your experience in taking part in the same bet with friends? on: March 28, 2024, 01:38:20 PM


I have experienced placing bets with my friends and everything is fun and there's no pressure involved as long as you think it's all about having fun but when you're with your friends you should not indulge too much, you should not show them that you are a big bettor or try to show off that you can big bettor.

The only difference between betting alone and betting with friends is there is no pressure to win and you can accept your losses more because you are not the only one who loses.

But I don't want to bet with my friends all the time, there are some habits that you don't want to show when you are betting that you alone should know one of these is how you hate yourself when you are losing, you don't want your friends to hear cursing yourself.

This could be the next big thing in combat sports I love combat sports, we have a lot of karate black belter in UFC and other MMA organizations and karate was one big organization before Tae Kwon Do became very popular karate was first recognized.

I'm also very bullish on their Karate token because it passes everything that investors want to see in a project, a fully developed platform, and worldwide coverage.

They don't have an official announcement here in Bitcointalk, but I'm sure the developers behind this project are fully aware of Bitcointalk I hope they can launch an official announcement to gain more followers, this is better than PVE games let's see what the future holds for this new concept.

I'm using the Brave browser and I'm not getting any ads I use another email to watch videos on YouTube that have nothing to do with gambling on my searches.

If your account is subscribed to a particular interest YouTube will keep showing similar videos to build up your interest so for non-gambling related videos use another email and subscribe to more friendly channels like health concerns, old movies soft music and YouTube will show ads related to your interest that's how their algorithm works, its very similar to Facebook also.
379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make your bets when you're tired on: March 25, 2024, 03:10:16 PM


 In general, I realized my mistake and no longer made my bets while I was tired. Concentration is the most important thing in any effort we make, and we must always be at full mental strength, as there are many factors that may affect your chances of winning or losing.

I hope everyone benefits from my experience, thank you

But some gamblers will still gamble even if dead tired from work or daytime activities, there are gamblers whose day will not be complete if they cannot gamble, these people are so addicted to gambling that it's part of their daily routine they prefer to cut their work and allocate time just to gamble.

Concentration and adequate rest are very important if you want to have a pleasant experience in gambling so if you are dead tired better take a rest.

Online casinos are open 24/7 so you can take a rest and just play after you wake up when you are fully rested, you can fully enjoy the game if you are well rested and you can think clearly leading to a win.
380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamer's fan took his own life due to addiction on: March 25, 2024, 02:28:12 PM


Adin Ross is one of the most famous streamers in the world right now, with his content having hundreds of thousands of hours in watch time. Of course much of his content is direct promotion to slots games and such gambling. Perhaps Kick should add some limits to how "controversial" a streamer can be in their platform. People like Ross were banned from twitch after maaany violations.

What do you think about this? Do such people deserve a platform even on Kick?

Some streamers are deceptive and manipulative and they don't care about their followers all they care about is the number of people that will sign up using their code.

This is why I don't watch these streamers, they make it appear it's ok to lose huge money because there's always a chance that you can recover it.

But we must admit they are a big help to casinos to get more leads, they offer streamers money and bonuses to stream their platform, but with the way they sometimes do extreme streaming these controversial streamers will eventually lose the platforms they stream.
