It doesn't matter where anyone is, I think it's a similar thing everywhere... it's the location that matters. The better the location, the higher the price per square meter both when renting or buying. In my opinion, it's better to buy a property, even with credit... after 20-30 years you will have your own house, and with renting after 30 paying for rent all that time you will still not have anything.

I decided to buy a house 8 years ago... I'm still paying it off, but if I had been paying rent all these years I would have nothing of my own.

I'm glad that the problem was solved and that everything turned out well in the end. I hope Miki will confirm the same, at least it would be nice to hear from his side if he is satisfied now, with the money received and the compensation for waiting.

I know that these things happen for a reason, but when the casino is quiet we players get a little restless. Anyway, it's nice that you explained the case and were transparent about it, I respect that.

I haven't had a bad experience with crypto casinos in years. I guess the bad experience mostly came down to some glitches while playing, deposit/withdrawal issues, and probably the worst thing is the bad communication with support agents. I don't have such problems in casinos where I play, so I can't mark any crypto casino as "the worst", except the scam casinos known for shady actions against many players.

There are casinos where I was really unlucky, losing multiple deposits without any wins. I won't call them the worst casinos either, it's just a time when I was unlucky and it wouldn't be fair to accuse a casino of cheating without any evidence. Sometimes things really don't go our way, and the best thing we could do is to just move to another casino.

The Wiess sports book looks interesting, it's a bit different from the others and I like it. I didn't bet much, I played more slots on this site. Definitely one of the more interesting crypto casinos, but the mandatory KYC is probably one of the things people don't like on this site.

Not all casinos are good even though they have a nice UI. So in the end, UI is not as important as it is important to be able to trust the casino itself.

It's simple, we like to win, and when it comes to gambling profit means win, losing money means losing... So we are competitive and we will give everything we have in some moments just to win and prove that we are "better" than the opponent. In gambling, we are ready to spend the last dollar because even if we are on some long losing streak we still believe in the "last seconds" win, like with all other games.

Of course, not all people are the same, some are less competitive than others, but I believe that we all have it in us, desire to win in whatever we feel passionate about. I guess that we all feel passionate when we gamble, in some moments when we get "deep into the game" and excitement is at its maximum... we are focused on the win and we probably feel that the winning hand/spin is so close.

I read it to the end and there is nothing new, from the very beginning to the end everything revolves around the fact that the banks didn't want to lend money to someone who showed up at their door and said "I have a great idea, give me money!". Whatever idea/business it's in case, banks have their own conditions under which they grant loans, and it is ridiculous to just go to the bank and ask for money without any business plan, or with a business plan that does not have any guarantees/collateral.

I agree that we should not be naive when it comes to banks, their main thing is making a profit. But if someone has already chosen to take out a loan (for anything), he should look at the conditions (ToS) of those loans if he doesn't want to be surprised once he starts paying it back. That's something we should all know, don't sign a document until you read everything it says, even the small letters. Especially when it comes to money and all other important life stuff.

As the title of your thread says, any strategy fails if overused, but as you can see a bigger problem than choosing a strategy is our greed. If I understood correctly you started with $3.5 and managed to get to $18, that should have been a nice game and that's the moment when you should have stopped the game. But greed is what we all face and often lose because of it, I think something like this has happened many times to each of us, at least to all of us who gamble often. Many times I also made x2 and much more, but I did not know/want/wished to stop and I lost both profit and deposit. It's gambling and when we are excited it's easy for us to get carried away and to believe that we can win even more...

You don't need to have a boring day just because you lost some money... you enjoyed the game and you lost, next time try to stop on time and everything will be fine. It's something we all need to learn, and more importantly to remember to apply that in the heat of the game.

When we consider his bankroll I think we can't say that he wagered a lot... just x6.4 of his bankroll. With some luck and better playing people wager a lot more than just a little over x6 with their bankroll.

I guess this man started losing and at one point he decided to up the stakes (it's happened to all of us at some point) just to get back the millions he lost... but unfortunately, he was unlucky and lost it all.

Because of these things, bankroll management is very important, $10, $10k, or $100m is the same if someone bets more than 10-20% of their bankroll. When we lose what we have because of reckless gambling there's no point in complaining and blaming others for that. We are responsible for everything we do.

+34k Golden Tickets, +39m lottery tickets... this guy is gambling like there is no tomorrow. Probably one thing leads to another, that's how it is with gambling and wagering huge amounts, he wins most of the contests and has a higher chance to win all the lotteries. I guess we can say that he is more than an active gambler:


He is a shark, I would say "Great white shark"!

I don't see this as a trick to prevent gambling addiction, it's just a trick to spend less time gambling. To be a gambling addict you don't need to gamble a lot, gambling addicts who bet on sports don't need to be active all day on the computer, they just log in, place some bets and that's enough for them.

As Oshosondy wrote, the only way to prevent gambling addiction is to set up a gambling budget, it's a limitation that will work for people to keep some control over their gambling habits. And that is the most important part, as long as there is some control gambling will not be a problem and will not cause problems.

You like to chase that "over 3.5" bet. I took a look at the stats, both teams seem to be playing with a lot of goals. If statistics are to be believed, you have a good chance of winning this bet. I had a feeling that you would continue with high bets, once you start it's hard to go back to smaller bets... not interesting enough, missing that excitement, and the profit we expect is unsatisfying.

Well, good luck SavingForMedSchool, I am cheering for you!

Well, it's not so strange... I have also played some games where the "inactive player" got ITM. I have witnessed this many times, a passive player can survive many all-ins. I don't like that this time I was the "inactive player", unfortunately, I couldn't avoid my work obligations. I hope that we will have a chance to meet again at some poker table.


Same here, I would also like to play more tournaments with people from here. We had a great time and many great games... Maybe that will come true for us one day, who knows?

This game should have got more attention, but unfortunately, it didn't. We will see what the next steps are for the TON poker team, however, if they want an active poker site they need to invest in it! To attract people they need to have tournaments with guaranteed prizes (GTDs), free rolls, special promotions, and bonuses. Without all that I doubt they will be able to create anything that can come close to some Fiat poker sites.

I didn't forget about the tournament, I was supposed to be free but due to some unforeseen circumstances I had to be at work yesterday... when I got home the tournament was already over.


If there were 17 players, of which only 5 were active, I wouldn't call it a successful tournament... some poker tournaments with a much smaller prize draw a lot more people. So we can say that this tournament did not attract much attention and people even though it had a nice prize.

Congrats to the entrants, it looks like everyone got some kind of prize, and I hope this isn't all from TON poker... maybe they should have some regular freeroll game with smaller prizes.

Congratulations on this win. Brave bet, no doubt about that, you went all in and luckily you won. I didn't expect you to do something like this, but you did it.


Well, don't push too much. I think it's not the time to become too greedy, you recovered your losses and maybe you should continue to play with some smaller bets... But of course, it's up to you, whatever you decide to do I wish you a lot of luck. I really hope you rock the casino and take their money. Good luck man! And think about changing your username to "GamblingForMedSchool"!

I have never gone into debt because of gambling, even when I was younger I could spend all the money I have at the moment, but that's it... until the new money comes in I don't gamble. It's so wrong to play with borrowed money, with credit cards, once you get into these debts it's hard to get out of them. A gambling loss doesn't hurt as much as a debt does, the constant reminder of that mistake.

But I understand this situation, it has happened to me many times that I am at a loss after several deposits and a lucky moment comes that gives me back everything I lost plus some profit on top of that... and instead of stopping and taking a break I continue to gamble and lose it all. It's happened to me too many times in my gambling life, that's why gambling is full of ups and downs. It's hard to be in control when we are losing, sometimes it's even harder to stay in control when we are winning and our heads are in the clouds.

And what will we do if... Well, when something happens, we will think about it then, certainly the world will not stop spinning because some countries have banned gambling. I guess some people will find a way to gamble, some will only do it while traveling, and some will surely turn to other things in life. That's usually how it is, you shouldn't despair when you lose something, raise your head, and move forward.

But this will not happen, we can expect online gambling to be more regulated, but to ban it is difficult, it seems to me that too many people gamble and it brings a lot of money to casino owners and the state through various taxes. So gambling stays where it is, it can only grow.

They do not force us to do anything, we accept everything that is served to us... maybe there is a choice, but mostly that choice is reduced to choosing between many bad choices. It's a system, we are still slaves in a way, not like 1000 years ago, we are not chained, but we depend on money, there's never enough money and that puts us in a tricky situation.

It is a contradiction, the global economy is not in decline, but the gap between the rich and the poor is bigger than ever. While it is difficult for many to push through the month, some people prosper and have more money than ever. I guess it's all a matter of perspective, but for sure not everyone can advance in this world, it's individual... some people are going up and some are going down.

The new name is BaseBet.io, and it's very similar to the old site, as far as I can see it has the same games as before.

A few members were refunded, but some were not... and where are all those who don't know about this forum? Those who are really interested can read the last few pages and everything will be clearer.

I'm going to stay away from the new site... I wasn't harmed by what Bethnomy did, but I believe it's very bad and there's a possibility that it will happen with the new site. So why risk playing in the new Betnomi casino when we have many other casinos around that are far more trustworthy?

Unfortunately, the game ended with 2:1. After that goal in 64 min. there were no more goals and this bet was lost. I was rooting for the OP to win this second bet, but it didn't come to that. Maybe it's too late to talk about what he could have done better, he tried and failed... but he should definitely study some tips from this thread if he wants to try again.

So Savingformedschool do you plan to try again?

Well, casino rewards are like that... there's always some catch. And mostly that catch is about some wagering, there are no rewards without wagering a lot, or if it's not that it's some lottery/raffle system where it's really hard to compete with people who have more tickets (from wagering/depositing).

Many casinos offer different types of rewards, but most include playing (which is understandable)... active players and the ones who wager more will get higher rewards, but there is something for everyone. It's gambling after all, it's on us to try different casinos and various promotions, and if we are lucky enough we can win something, if not we will get some cashback/rakeback and that's it. I guess the bottom line is simple, if we don't play (try it) we can't hope to win, and if we try it and lose it we can't complain too much, we can just hope that we will be more lucky next time.
