Thanks V8, appreciate it.

But now I really have to go to bed, please don't let me wake up to a 15 pages backlog.

Get well soon Arrie! Frankly, after all the crazy stuff Swedish government was doing I'm not surprised at all the first WO with confirmed COVID19 is from Sweden. In fact, I'm even surprised you have so few deaths there so far.

3842  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why there are so many people who get addicted on gambling? on: May 16, 2020, 10:46:39 AM
It has to be something with being bored I am sure. There are so many people who have nothing else to attach to and that results with them being addicted to gambling because they are basically feeling like they are doing something finally and actually spending their time with quality but in reality they are hurting themselves. There was basically nothing in the world that would help them to spend time better and they got addicted to it.

Just to give an example I know someone who gambled for 30 years because he just had a very good business who didn't need him, he was the boss but there was managers and so forth and he didn't had to go to work, he had a office at the top of the building so all he did was gamble for 30 years. 4-5 years ago he started this collective of group or whatever its called and hasn't gambled since that moment.

Well, 30 years of gambling is really a long time. Obviously that person has strong character if he didn't develope addiction.
The question why people become gambling addicts is similar why they become drug or alcohol addicts, there is no simple and unique explanation, each person is functioning on different ways.
However,  when gambling adrenalin and hunger for money that people can't control very often lead to  addiction and many players are not even aware of thst.

The problem is that that no one knows why they are addicted to gambling. People don't even realize that they have become gambling addicted.

For me, if anyone plays excessive gambling he is likely to get addicted or is already addicted to gambling.

Have you tried youtube? I have not also much knowledge of poker. But I have tried to learn through youtube for a few days. Now I have some basic ideas about poker.  But not much. You can also try to get some help from youtube. Maybe you can get some basic ideas about it. But I don't sure about pro strategy.

Through youtube you can learn poker and other games too but you cannot practice it live on the gambling platform. If OP do not want to spend money in playing and learning poker, he can play poker on sites which offer free faucets. He can claim free faucets and try to learn poker.

I think the faucets amounts are too less to play poker. Poker is not difficult at all. You can just learn it through youtube and then deposit your real money to play/practice only. When you play with your real money, you will focus more and will learn poker much more quickly.
3844  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Corona virus exploited by some scammers on: May 16, 2020, 08:53:06 AM
We all know the changes that started in the world because of the Corona virus and its risks and because of the risk of its spread, the World Health Organization asked people to stay away from the use of paper currency for a period of time in order to reduce friction between people and reduce the spread of the virus, as it asked everyone to use cryptocurrencies for a period of time Also, there are many charitable and health organizations that requested donations through the Bitcoin currency
This is what made many fraudsters take advantage of this issue, as many fraudsters asked for donations from people in the name of health and charitable organizations. Where people donate to these organizations that are fake and the money is stolen by the fraudsters Unfortunately it is difficult to follow the addresses of these fraudsters so I hope that everyone will pay attention to this matter and not donate to any organization before verifying its authenticity and credibility

Those who take donations in the name of covid-19 donations and later do not distribute them to the needy, I think those people if spotted should be put into jail. They are criminals and should be dealt with legal actions against them.

@virasog I believe that all the members registered on Stake have got the mail, and I don’t think they’ll enforce it but i strongly feel that we all should enable it, as it’s a good security measure to protect our account in case it gets hacked.

Read here to understand importance of 2fa:

https://kelleyconnect.com/two-factor-authentication/

https://forum.stake.com/topic/22364-2fa-notification/

I understand the importance of 2fa but I have not enabled it on stake.com. I keep around 100$ amount on stake.com and wouldn't want to always check my 2fa device to login. However . if you keep large amount of money on stake, then it is a good option and should be enabled.

Means that you do not really worry about your money of maybe $100 is just so small amount for you.
IMO, no matter how much money you have on your account, it is always better to have 2fa activated.
If money is not the one you are worrying about, bear in mind that once your account is compromised then the hacker may use it for something else like scamming other by using your account.
In this case indeed you wont lose anything, but it will give you a bad reputation (at least for a while). Better to be safe than sorry later. 

Thanks for your kind advice. Just out of the box question, if my account become compromised at stake.com, can't i ask the support and disable my account so it is not misused. What are the options do we have if we loses control over our gambling account ?

Guys, We have just pushed out a new release that includes a new Dice game.
Everyone is welcome to try it out.

With this release we are also enabling our faucet.
We are still testing out the faucet and it might change in the coming days.
For now it will work as followed:
The total faucet amount that people can claim each hour is 4 USD.
Every player can claim his/her faucet only once every hour.
The faucet amount will be around 0.10 USD each time you claim it.

We have also added a preferences page where you can enable instant betting and toggle the sound.


Are you sure that players can claim faucet once every hour only?
I just claimed my first faucet and I get 1126 satoshi which is very good amount from a faucet especially for new players with low wagered amount.
Why I ask about once every hour? It is because after I claim my first faucet, the countdown time for the next claim shows as "5 minutes".

Edit:
Just claimed my 2nd faucet, now the countdown time for my possibly 3rd faucet shows 1 hour.

Does this means that we can claim this faucet every hour even if our balance is not Nil ?
Each person can claim a maximum faucet of 4 dollars ?

No, it is not like that. You can only claim the faucet if your balance is zero. If you balance is greater than zero, you will not be able to claim faucet. Faucet are meant to be used as temporary and you should play with your real money if you like the site.

Nice implementation of popular Bustadice game style Smiley

The first game is not bustadice game style as it is not dice game but it is like a simplified crash game so you should call it Bustabit style instead of Bustadice.
The game is basically the same as Limbo at Stake and Boom at Bitsler. A dice game has just been added some time ago so there are two games now, Dice and Blaze.
Owner seems to be working so hard to improve the site at the moment so he can make an announcement here about the new game. I do believe it is now the time for Jacksclub to offer something like introduction promotion to make people aware about the site.


Marketing is as important as the development of the site. I think the Owners need to be more active here and announce each and every new game being introduced on his site.

After blaze, Hilo and video Poker coming soon.

3854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Enhanced restriction in gambling casinos is it possible on: May 10, 2020, 11:02:18 AM
There are boxing events that are being held, there are talks that some sporting events are going to push through with enhanced restrictions, is it possible with gambling casinos, of course, you can play a slot machine on your own, they just need spacing on every slot machine, on roulette games they can install glasses to avoid every bettor coming near to each, other so are on the other games .

Do you think it's possible for gambling casinos to open now with enhanced restriction and customized set up, what do you think ?

People go in casino to enjoy and have a party time. Most of time they are drunk and it will be very difficult to make them follow the new rules of social distancing. I think it is not a good idea to open casinos even with a more restricted environment.
3855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health 🤕symptoms on: May 10, 2020, 10:45:06 AM
Moderate is good but the higher it is the more dangerous they are. People become addicted to drugs and drink when they constantly have the high adrenaline level in their body.


That's likely the effect of gambling addiction as no gambler would just gamble all day, sometimes this addiction would not allow us to sleep since we don't have a peace of mind, therefore these addicts will try do drugs and drink so they can be calm and they'll be able to sleep when they are too drunk.

I was not gambling addict and never wanted to be one but in this 1.5 months I have played gambling more than usual. I am afraid I could become gambling addict if this lockdown continues for long. When i have nothing to do, I just go to the gambling site and start playing dice.

3858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: House Edge vs. Luck - the Last Stand on: May 10, 2020, 06:38:11 AM
The problem is not that people do not understand this fact. The problem is people believe they can beat the facts. We all know gambling is favored towards the house in a big way. First is the house edge, second is the limits on bets (which limits martingale tactics for example).
Then,,, you have to deal also with normal emotion of chasing losses or believing in streaks.
Lot of people tend to think this way, they think they are winning against the house but literally they cannot. People always count how much they win today but did not count how much they have lost yesterday, even me it does not matter to me if I lost this day, what my mindset is that I can get it back tomorrow then I'm going to win tomorrow the half of what I have lost yesterday, it repeats itself. If you are gambling just for the sake of entertainment then good for you, you won't might even notice the house edge.

You can be lucky one day, two days but you cannot be lucky forever. One day you will lose all of your earnings from gambling because on a unlucky day you will lose all your profits too. People do win because of luck sometimes but more people lose because they are unlucky most of the time.
3859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep track of your gambling? how? on: May 09, 2020, 11:07:54 PM
if yes, how do you track it?
simples spreadsheets, physical notebooks or maybe some different way?

Although I do not track any of my gambling win or loss, but for those who want to track is there any ready made software available in the market where you just input the value and it will give you graphs and data for analysis ? This will be easy for people who really what to know how much they are winning/losing in gambling.
3860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering More or Wagering Less on: May 09, 2020, 10:54:04 PM
It's a general perception that if we gamble more, we can get more profit. Also we see gambling sites offering wagering competitions. The more you wager, you become eligible for a reward or prize money.

What's your though on this ?   Wagering more makes you win more money in gambling?
If the only given option in order to (possibly) win the prize is to wager more then, gamblers will take that option but I'm wondering if it gives us profitable in such a thing that the more we gamble, the more lose. And for that sake ( eligible for the reward), maybe I sound tempting but I don't have to take the risk either but rather to play in the normal.

The gambling site gives this temptation gamble more and wager more because they knew that if you wager more there are chances that you will lose more and hence who will benefit when you lose ? Right, the gambling casino is the direct benefiter. Since many people wager and lose, they can easily give bouns as they have gathered so much money from such competitions.
