3621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 05, 2023, 03:56:42 PM
To break free from the cycle of losses, the gambler has to gamble qualitatively. Have a budget, set a time frame for gambling and do not go above your budget or the time you have allocated to gambling. Have other outdoor habits too. These are the starting points or the baby steps that should be taken to break free from the cycle of losses.

Your solution would be helpful to gamblers but will be hard for gamblers to do, gamblers are known for gambling continuously without taking break. It isn't the best practice but still gamblers do it with hopes of winning as they believe the more they gamble the higher their chances.

Placing bets based on guess work will only lead you to losing. If you want to profit from sport betting then you have to familiarize with the sport that you're interested in betting on and get to know what make a teams to have advantage over the opportunity, like home advantage.

Another reason that make gamblers to lose in sport betting is because they become addicted. Sport betting can be very addictive as the games are interesting to watch and when you get some prediction right, you might get tempted to risk more money to make more profits then lose .
3622  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 02, 2023, 04:01:07 PM
I came across an article How Old Do You Have to Be to Gamble in USA?. In this article, i saw that the minimum age to gamble is between 18 to 21 years. I wonder if the online casino do follow this minimum age for gambling.

Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?

The article should be correct because from the data I have seen online it's between 18-21 but some countries have lesser age like 16 but it isn't common like the age of 18-21 years. An adult should be able to make good decisions and an adult age is from 18 years.

Through KYC verification procedure that's how the online casino enforce the minimum age limit to gamble. With your KYC details casino can determine your age and allow you to continue gambling or stop you but this isn't a 100% perfect because KYC data can be bought online.

If any casinos or gambling platforms is found to be guilty about allowing under age gamblers on purpose they will be persecuted, but the authorities will have to prove that the platform knew that there were underage gamblers using the platform before they can be fined.

Actually I want to give up gambling altogether, but it's very difficult. Now I limit myself to only playing on weekends.. But sometimes I still lust, and spend all my weekly pay. If that happens, I will ban myself from playing until next month.

If you want to give up completely from gambling, you first have to restrict yourself from any forms of gambling relating activities which could also be promotions like what you're doing by wearing your signature campaign codes that's a gambling platforms, you have to cut all connections.

It might be because you're always writing on the gambling section of the forum due to your campaigns requirements that's why you're finding it difficult to quit. When you noticed gambling isn't benefiting you, you have to stop playing because you'll be causing more harm.

We have other campaigns that aren't focusing on the gambling boards, you can enroll in any of them and post on other boards without been denied payment because if you do that while in your campaign, you'll not meet up the weekly demand by the campaign and not get paid.
3624  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: July 02, 2023, 12:33:26 PM
We cannot consider any betting without money as gambling. There are some situations where money is not exchanged but is treated as a bet. I have some friends who sometimes bet with some others friends where they don't prioritize money. But if they lose the bet they are obliged to give treats. Can i consider such bets as gambling? Definitely not, Because there is no direct relation to money. Moreover, no one has any regrets even if they lose.

When gambling you have to risk something that if you lose you also lose that thing that you staked earlier so what your friends were doing was betting or gambling depending on the name you want to give it. Betting or gambling isn't done with only money there's other things that can be used.

People can bet with anything that represents money to them or they have value in. Example if I was to stake my Bitcoin for a bet and someone doesn't know what Bitcoin is then they won't value it but for those that are informed about what bitcoin is, they'll accept the bet.

In your words there was an obligations that has to be done if anyone lose and that's what makes it a bet, the treat that had to be given is what's used to represent money in your example. Value was given to the treat like what money represent in the gambling world.
3625  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: July 02, 2023, 12:22:45 PM
All the people are not the same so there are many variations in their way of thinking. KYC seems normal to some but dangerous to others. Overall casino gambling platform can benefit a gambler in several ways. In particular, it is possible to get proper solutions for withdrawal and account related problems. Now a days a gambler's personal information is stored securely in all the reputable casinos or gambling platforms. A gambler can be involved in various types of crimes. Once KYC is completed, casino gambling platforms have information of the customers so that no one can commit crimes.

I agree that everyone isn't the same and some people won't care what happens to their information but for those that are security cautious when casino make it a must for KYC to be done they're not been fair to this users and besides they can't protect the users information.

All popular casinos are centralized and centralized system don't have a good record for protecting users information. The servers are hackable and our private information can be stolen then sold to those that might use them for crimes and we get indicted without knowing.

Casino benefits gamblers that's why they have to respect the rules of the casino to pass the KYC so they can withdraw theirs wins but it's because they don't have an alternative way out if not gamblers won't have been completing KYC because we know they aren't saved.
3626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: July 01, 2023, 09:24:26 PM
Don't worry yourself mate, you will need to be a very infleuncial person in order for you to actually gather up some referral bonus from sites that gives them. No doubt this referral thing is very stressful and I have tried so many times myself and it all seem to not be working and I deduce my final conclusion that only influential people who has lots of contacts thats if you are sharing by contacts or followers on their handle that can possibly work out this referrals

Social media algorithm has changed so anybody that has interest in commission based income can do it now and become successful. You have to be innovative in your marketing and not only depending on your contacts or followers. Both twitter and tiktok has a new algorithm.

This new algorithm can make your contents to go viral and trend on any of the platforms even when you don't have lots of followers and from your contents been popular you can get your new audience to register and generate revenue for yourself through referral.

Gambling as a source of income can be very risky because just like the cryptocurency market, gambling is very unpredictable but the business aspect of gambling like owning a franchise, been a promoter of the casinos or sportsbook can be a major source of income
3627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: July 01, 2023, 08:35:01 PM
Well, some people continue playing even after winning big, hoping to win even more. I assume that most of the time, these winnings are only added to the player's bankroll, without deciding to withdraw any or even a portion of it. I think this scenario is primarily observed among common gamblers who lack discipline. On the other hand, those who are disciplined enough will cash out some or all of their winnings and then take a break, enjoying their profit.

Life is all about experience, those who had experience losses after they won a big bet but didn't take a break from gambling would quit the next time they win a big bet but those who hasn't had the experience wil continue gambling until they get same results then they take precautions.

When you win big, just relax a little don't put yourself under pressure to win another bet because you'll be operating under the influence that you can replicate the similar big win you had with the previous bet and this can lead to you losing all the money you won or a large part of it.

All gamblers should be wise, take profit when you win. It doesn't have to be a big win because you have to start building the behavior now so it won't be hard for you to do in the future. Gambling isn't an investment that you can keep holding, one wrong move and you could lose everything.

I don't have a gambling addiction, but I acknowledge that there are issues with my gambling habits that need to be addressed and corrected. One of the effective ways to tackle this is by observing, imitating, or modifying the patterns of other gamblers to suit me best. I'm curious about your own gambling lifestyle. Do you set aside specific times each day or week for gambling? If you enjoy sports betting, do you bet on games throughout the week whenever they're available? When it comes to visiting casinos, do you play at one today or this week and then try out a different one the next time you want to gamble?

Gambling addiction doesn't just start from anywhere it's as a result of the ways you have been gambling. It could be you gambled too much without taking a break and this lead to you getting addicted or you mishandled you're finances by exceeding over your budget.

When that continue, it became a lifestyle for you. As a gamble you have to have a pattern and not just gamble whenever you feel like doing so, you have to be in control of your gambling activities.Personally I gamble during the weekend so if there was to be any games going on doing the weekdays I won't gamble

I'll have to wait for those that'll be played during the weekends for my to be able to gamble. I love watching the games while I bet . My job also makes it possible I don't have any free time until it's the weekends so it fits into my routine perfectly and makes me to have a pattern.
3629  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will fall or rise? $30400 the recent price on: July 01, 2023, 04:35:58 PM
After the SEC did not want to approve bitcoin spot ETF, bitcoin fall from $31000 back to $30400 as of today price. Bitcoin has been staying between $29400 and $31250 since many days. The support as been at $30000 while the resistance as been at $31000. The market is difficulty to know which position to take. What are you people predicting that bitcoin price would be? Is bitcoin breaking the resistance and increase above $31000 which could take the price to $35000, or bitcoin price is getting back to $25000 again?

I didn't know Bitcoin dipped but the quick corrections took Bitcoin price to $29,500 and Bitcoin has recovered and the price is back up to 30,560. This time around I know where I'll be placing my bet and that's for $31,000 to be brokens before the first week of the month is passed.

The resistance at $31,000 won't hold up long, the resistance that we'll have at $35,000 that's where we should have more worries because if there's not much buy pressure we can't cross that price but if Bitcoin pass that price and stays above it we're in good hands then.

The market handled the rejection news quite well because it didn't affect the market that much and that means we're having less investors that wants to sell their Bitcoin and it could be because investors are now interested only in accumulating instead of selling due to fud.

Even though people realize how bad gambling can be, it doesn't stop them from continuing to gamble because they see an opportunity to earn a lot of money from gambling. But if they learn from other people's experiences, they shouldn't try to play gambling because from seeing other people playing gambling, they will know that other people have lost a lot. Besides that, these people also experience gambling addiction, which is the biggest problem that must be cured immediately.

People don't stop playing because they know gambling isn't a bad thing to do and it's an avenue to give you extra income that will help in making you have a comfortable life. What everyone is after is been able to afford what they need to survive in this world because things are expensive.

Gambling with precautions isn't bad and if you can do that then you don't need to stop gambling. Gambling has given lots of people good life and also causes many to regret ever betting and this is because they didn't take precautions and weren't careful when gambling.

Gambling is a very addictive thing that when you start if you're not watchful of how you're betting you might have gone too deep before you realize your mistakes. If you noticed you're getting addicted, you have to stop before it gets too late to correct yourself.
3631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: June 30, 2023, 07:26:53 AM
But not many gamblers have that and often they lose control of what they have been doing. Self-control is the most important thing when gambling, it functions like we use a helmet to ride a motorbike and if an accident occurs, we will still be safe because of this safety. I am very concerned when there is such an incident and it is very unfortunate what his son has done, maybe from this story we should be more aware of how dangerous gambling addiction is and it comes back to each individual how they overcome existing addictions.

Gambling addiction has caused people to do many harmful things without realizing what they're doing to be bad. Addiction makes you only think about satisfying it first before any other thing that matters so you'll go the extra miles just to get that money you need to gamble.

Self control can't be forgotten when you get addicted to gambling, when you weren't addicted you can easily control your self to prevent you from spending too much to gamble or doing unreasonable things but when you get addicted, you forget all about self control.

As for the boy that used the money meant for the medicine of his parents to gamble, that's one thing addiction can do to you. As of when he had the thought he would be very certain that he can double the money and still have money left to use in buying the medicine.
3632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Let's find out which gambling game is the most played among our community... on: June 30, 2023, 06:51:09 AM
This poll is purely for fun, I would like to hear your opinion on the best gambling games out there, and I wonder which games are the most popular in our community. I am sure there are numerous less-known gambling games played around the world,  so if you choose "Other," please specify the game in the comments section below, and I will add it to the poll.

Sport betting is winning thebpoll next ti duceband slots and those are the games I have played, sport betting is the easiest firnmnrinwin that's why I enjoy paying it. Sport betting winning probability is based on how well you know the sport that you're betting on.

Since soccer is the game I watch the most, I play it always during weekends when matches are been played. Watching the game you bet on with all the anxiety that follow is an awesome experience. I also bet in other sports like basketball, American football, boxing and tennis.

Sport betting is enjoyable when you know the game and not just betting because you want to make money but you're enjoying watching the game. When I want to enjoy a game more I always bet before watching the game then at times I play live bets as the games are going on.
3633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: June 30, 2023, 06:42:27 AM
I believe that people's belief towards lottery has something to do with poverty as well. They know it would be impossible to win, there's even a saying in my country that you are more likely to be struck by lightning than winning a lottery. But why do people still continue betting? 'coz they know there's someone who won and they are simply hoping that oneday they would be that someone even if it is a punch to the moon. Lottery speaks for luck. And believe it or not, I know someone who won two times in lottery on my country. It was hard to believe at first but seeing how fast the transition came to their family, I understood why many people are too hooked up with it.

That's correct poverty is the main reason many people engage in gambling at first, it could be sport betting or casino games, poverty is the main reason they play because they want to get extra income. lottery wins comes with big money than sport betting or playing slots games in the casino. People believe they can win that's why they keep playing.

I know someone in my country that has never won a lottery ticket before but he keeps on playing and hasn't stopped. The person is good with sports betting but instead of putting efforts in that type of gambling he prefers wasting money on lottery ticket and always fails.

The chances of winning with lottery are impossible, I only hear of stories of how someone from some part of the world won millions in lottery ticket but I haven't seen one myself. It feel some of this stories are fake just to make people to continuously buy the lottery tickets.
3634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: June 30, 2023, 06:28:00 AM
This is the reality mate not all gamblers open their situations in their family but some of their friends already know about them.  And the reason why is that happened is that they are more open to their friends rather than to their family because when their family will know about their situation then it will cause minor or even major problem fro their family.

If a gambler is having problem with addictions I think it'll be better they tell their family instead of hiding it from them because if they find out from outside it won't be nice and embracing to them. Hiding things from your family never ends well from how I see things.

Friends will understand if they find out you were addicted to gambling without telling them besides your family are those that'll take you more seriously and try to help you by all means you recover from your gambling addiction problem. Only a very few friends will try to help.

You shouldn't be scared of getting shouts from your love ones, those attitude at time is how they show their love to you. No family member will see one of their own in a problem and won't try to help them out if it. Sometimes they might threaten you just to get you to quit.
3635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet on live game or while game hasn't started yet? on: June 30, 2023, 06:16:48 AM

Cast your bet in a match that have yet not started or bet when the game is already live?
It must have been asked before but in case new sports bettors have not yet read such thread, reply back your opinion about it.

I'm comfortably doing both, I bet on games that haven't started when I kwonthe two teams playing very well that I can easily predict which team is going to win due to the form they're on and their passed history between both clubs and where the game is been played.

If I don't know anything about the teams playing but I want to bet on them then I'll only place my bet during the live games as by watching the game you can see who will score first, win the first half or other options that your sportsbook gives you to place your bets on.

Sometimes too I can bet on the game before it starts then as I'm watching the game and I see some conviction that the game is going to turn out in a  specific way then I can bet as the game is going on. Watching the games can give you the believe you'll need to place your bet.
3636  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: June 30, 2023, 06:03:58 AM
So does this mean that there is a loophole here and the money launderers can easily by pass this wagering requirement?
The casinos shouldn't have more attention on money laundering because that's not their sole responsibility and when they try to introduce such control measures against money laundering, they may be loosing their customers at the cause of doing that and it may not be well enough for them to adapt on this kind conditions because they will record a low income due to reduced numbers of gamblers.

OP that's not a loophole as it seems easier to be down with your thinking than doing it practically. There is every possibility for you to lose one of your bet and since you're waging all your money that means you're staking big and one loss will lose you a big part of your money.

Casino can't ignore money laundering because they're required to report any defaulter they discover are trying to use their casino for that purpose. If they don't report and the culprit get caught and it's been disclosed that it was this particular casino they use, they're an accomplice.

They won't be closed down immediately but after investigation and it's discovered that they knew their casino was been used for money laundering without doing anything about it and they can't prove to be innocent then they'll get punished and lose their license.

Operating Hours: Do cruise ship casinos operate 24/7 like their land-based counterparts?
Payouts: Are the payout rates comparable to land-based casinos?
Betting Limits: What are the minimum betting limits? I know that some land-based casinos start at $20.
Game Variety: Can I find the same range of games offered in land-based casinos on cruise ships?

I haven't been in a cruise ship before but from what I have seen in movies and on documentary about cruise ship, it surely going to be an awesome experience having to experience gambling on the sea. I think the operating hours won't be 24/7 hours because the operators will need rest too.

Cruise ship are very costly, you're on a vacation when you board a cruise ship and since anything done while on vacation are usually costly, I believe it'll be very costly to bet on cruise ships and since the bet will be costly, it won't be more profitable than betting on land casinos.

The betting limit will also be high because they know those on the cruise ship don't have other options than to use the casino on the cruise ship so they'll make it expensive and they'll have varieties of games because this cruise ship are well planned always.
3638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: June 29, 2023, 10:56:50 PM
Then whats the essence of wanting to waste time in following such groups. Most time some of these groups actually request for some kind cash to be paid by their customers for a particular prediction to be given to them guaranteeing that the particular prediction is safe to stake your cash on which obviously isn't the case after the match has been played.

Scammers will be always be greedy and they're the ones that open this groups and take money without giving the people what they want. There are legit ones that gives people correct games to bet on and they aren't fake. Obviously if they give you 10 games all 10 can't win.

Although when you use their prediction you get a higher possibility of winning them. Some people are just good and lucky with sport betting and they know they'll make more profits when they continue giving out good betting games instead of taking people money and run away.

To win when betting with bet group, it's better you bet big on individual games instead of combining games as those type of bet don't always end well because one or more games will always make you to lose your bet but with individual bet you can win on each game.

Mobile web apps are slowly becoming powerful, too. Web applications in general have become better and better in recent years. Developers managed to cram a lot of computational magic in browsers that are a staple on a lot of internet-ready devices, and it's just the device of the end-user that will be the obstacle here. It might also come down to preferences and beliefs as native apps are, in general, more efficient than their web-based counterparts. It may no longer be the case now, but that line of thinking still exists nowadays.

Mobile application have a very friendly user interface and those of gambling platforms are very easy to navigate so people will always be attracted to using them then the web version or going out to traditional casino to gamble. You enjoy web when using laptop or desktop.

A vast majority of this generation gamblers are teenagers and they preferred doing things with their mobile phone than laptop or desktop computer. Apps just makes it easier as everything you want can be gotten without having to wait on a reload like we have with browsers.

devil-soul since you're looking for casino mobile Application that you can gamble with cryptocurrency then search for crypto related casinos or sportsbooks as their mobile applications will have the same deposits and withdrawal option as their browser version

If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos? As we all know most established and new casinos come to bitcointalk to launch their ANN thread and carry out signature promotion campaigns which can be regarded as ads in a sense. If ads should be banned will their promotion in Bitcointalk also end?

It won't affect bitcointalk I don't think there are much casino operating from Australia on the forum unless the government target bitcointallk specifically then the forum has to willing restrict their members in Australia not to be available to view ads relating to online casinos.

Those the government of Australia are targeting are platforms like Google and YouTube that operate in the country and television commercial with that of radios as well. They'll have to avoid allowing gambling ads on their stations also doing sport games as they said.

Gambling has it negative effects and if it can't be contained then the solution is a ban as the government of Australia are suggesting. They could work out a solution to allow those ads while not endangering their citizens but that'll have to be done will the ads are still banned.
