4281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: August 03, 2023, 10:57:10 AM
It isn`t easy but it is possible. I know several men who get money only from the gambling for few years. And not $100-300 but several thousands every month. Of course, the main part of gamblers don`t even think about making the gambling major income, but it doesn`t mean, that it is impossible. But gambling becomes a job and you don`t get fun from it like before.
That is something that gamblers can rarely get their hands on because most of them will just lose and maybe they will lose a lot. And they wouldn't be able to make a huge income from gambling because it's so difficult. But people you know are really successful and maybe you can ask them what's the secret to making thousands of dollars monthly. I thought it would be worth a try but I guess it would also require other skills to be like them.

Activating the ad filter can allow you to avoid advertisements appearing when visiting various sites. That can be one of the solutions not to feel attracted to visiting casino sites because our attention will be diverted from what we are looking for and will avoid the casino. But those who don't care about the advertisements and can still limit their gambling time won't be tempted to visit the casino because they already have their gambling time. I think people can use any method they are comfortable with and will seek it out where they can.
4283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 03, 2023, 09:37:31 AM
I noticed that when I start to play games like keno, limbo, dice, etc. First some bets don't hit and after wagering some percentage of my balance it starts to hit,
How it works? like when we wager we have more probability to hit win, anyone noticed this? Do you know how it works and what is the calculation behind it?, do server sends outcomes by checking our wager?
Each game is design of course to give advantage to the house so expect losing first before small recovery , not unless you are the lucky one that wins comes easily such time.
and don't look straight to that Provably fair because that is not completely happening when we are dealing in those sites.
Meanwhile, we also don't know whether the game provably fair. But I think as long as we play at a trusted casino, the casino will show they are fair. This can be seen from some of the gamblers who managed to win and some of them even won a lot of money. So maybe we only know about provable it's like that and don't know how it really is. And if you want to continue proving it, I don't think it will be easy because it takes time to prove it. Meanwhile, we will not be able to enjoy gambling time because we are preoccupied with writing Provably Fair.

There is no mystery why more men are addicted to gambling than women. But maybe it's because men spend more of their free time playing gambling than women, who use their free time to relax.

And there doesn't seem to be any personal reason why men gamble more than women. But maybe men find a challenge in gambling while women do not see it as a challenge but an endless waste.
4285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 03, 2023, 08:31:14 AM
Either you borrow money or you are using your own funds for gambling, the gambler will always have positive thoughts of winning the game. There is no gambler that will stake on a game and put it in his mind that he will not win the game if not he wouldn't bet on that game. That's why it is the dumbest thing for a gambler to borrow funds for gambling and thinks that he will win and pay back his loan. Most times our games result turns out the other way from our thought and one will loss. Greed and addiction is what makes such people borrow money for gambling and at the end of the loss,they will regret their actions.
Borrowing money to gamble would never be recommended because we cannot always win from gambling. And when we lose, we still have to be responsible for repaying the loan, whereas if we don't have anything, we still can't repay the loan. Defeat in playing gambling can occur at any time and playing gambling using our own money will not cause more problems because our money is lost because of gambling and not other people's money.

it is part of the critical mindset of a gambler who views gambling as a place where multipliers borrow money from other people in the hope that it can be doubled in gambling on the one hand it is also supported by the level of addiction or even chasing previous losses.
such a critical mindset is very misleading because how is it possible that gambling can give him a win on the one hand it is a business to benefit the casino owner and also he has to bear the risk if the money is lost or lost in gambling. I know maybe most of them just use borrowed money to bet on sports betting which has a bigger chance of winning than casino games but lucky or unlucky is still a major factor in gambling.
so if a gambler borrows money to bet a large amount in the hope of doubling it I think the person is a bit of a fool, except he borrows every now and then a few months just for fun and certainly a small amount.
We recommend that gamblers who are used to having such a mindset change their mindset because, after all, we are just gamblers hoping to win some money. But the casino owner is the owner and he certainly wouldn't want to see the gamblers who play in the casino always win. The owners also know that winning gamblers must have good luck and that luck can't always come their way. So casino owners try to attract more gamblers because many gamblers must lose. At the same time, gamblers who win will be less than gamblers who lose. So, after all, the casino owners earn more than the gamblers.

For crypto, the government has the authority to ask every crypto exchange to implement KYC so that no money laundering activities occur there, but for casinos or the gambling industry, KYC is actually carried out not only to suppress money laundering but also to suppress gamblers who commit acts of fraud or deception.
Everything is a business and none of the business owners is willing that what is being built has to be destroyed because there are irresponsible persons such as criminals who launder money to remove traces or even those who like to cheat.

Nowadays the gambling industry is growing very rapidly and there is more and more money circulating in it, that's why some people want to take advantage of it for their personal benefit.
That's why casinos have started enforcing KYC on their members who are seen spending big money or looking suspicious so that the casinos can immediately find out what's happening. Casinos also don't want to get involved in any problems that could disrupt their business because casino owners want to run their businesses long-term. At the same time, the government is trying to cooperate with all businesses to track down money launderers so they can reduce the amount of money laundering and clean up illegal businesses. With the development of the gambling industry at this time, the government is trying to be more serious in dealing with illegal businesses by providing supervision to all business owners and their businesses.

Crypto was initially design to be an anonymous platform with ones privacy intact but now the reverse is the case. Actually, it was the crypto exchanges that were held responsible by buy the government to enact the KYC policies which was followed and it has been a regular norm with the crypto exchanges now that every one member must undergo a KYC before they transact. Even at then, there are limits for verified and unverified account holders on Crypto exchanges based on your level of KYC accessment with the exchange with limits members to some certain amount of withdrawal.

With these measures, withdrawals are always tracked easily but the more the government of press, the more new means are implored by people to escape the KYC measures and as you have said, I would not doubt the fact that black market would be their alternative means or source of transportation.
But along with the development of crypto and the exchange business and other businesses, the government is suspicious of money laundering activities using crypto so the government is trying to find out who are the people who use crypto in exchange, gambling and other businesses. The government doesn't want to lose a moment. It can be used to track down people who do illegal business because it could potentially lose huge profits for the country.

Exchange or gambling businesses seem to know already the account characteristics of someone involved in illegal activity so the owners of these businesses may have started to suspect the movements of the perpetrators of the illegal activity. Business owners will immediately ask them to do KYC to find out the background of the account owner. And if they are suspected of having anything to do with illegal activity, they can immediately report the results to the government.

come on mate dont give up try more and more Im sure you will get it (if lucky Cheesy)
well, I understand, maybe you are jealous of seeing the links shared by some people here with big wins and I understand that one day you want a big multiplier with maxwin, but after that, try to calculate the total money you spend with your big win, Im sure you myself will laugh a little. Grin

and also Im not sure that after one day you get a large amount of maxwin Im sure you will continue to visit slot games more. Tongue
Hahaha, you are right, mate. Well, I'll have to try again and see my luck later. I've very rarely had a win and have never made hundreds of dollars like them. And it would be nice to get hundreds of dollars in winnings like that with a small stake. But you are right in saying that if we count the total money we use to gamble until we can get a large multiplier with maxwin, it may be almost the same amount as the money we use to bet.

If I can win big multipliers with maxwin, maybe I'll take a month or so break from gambling. It will make me really want to get back into gambling to try and get maxwin again.
4288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: August 03, 2023, 06:57:48 AM
That is really good if people are like you, but mostly on where I am right now, most of them are keeping silent and not wanting anyone else to be successful, and they are just selfish people; they don't share their predictions, and sometimes they won't be giving tips when they win. It really depends on the person because we are the same. I always share because if both of you win, that person will do the same with you, and you'll be both good friends and company while gambling.
So from your story, it's better for us to share it with them so they can later share it with us when we can't find any clues. It can also be a way to find a good friend because if they won't share their predictions in times of trouble and only want predictions from us, they are not a good friend. And we have often met so far that we don't need friends like that. And that corresponds to giving and receiving with others so that if we can win, we can feel it with them and vice versa.

not as easy as you might imagine. something related to money, especially if you have to bet combining money with your friends, maybe we imagine sharing predictions is beautiful, but in reality, when the predictions you share lose, maybe your friends will get angry and your friendship is destroyed. you can see from the other threads of this case as this kind of problem has happened a long time ago and it's better for me to close the prediction for myself after experiencing my past experience.
Well, it's not as easy as we imagine but it's up to us. If we want to share our predictions with them, we can do so but if not, we also don't need to share them with them and maybe we can hide our predictions. And if we win, we also don't tell them that the winning money came from our predictions, but we can celebrate with them without telling them about our victory. And if we want to share it with them, we need to explain to them that this prediction can be right or wrong so we are not responsible for the outcome so they understand it.
4289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: August 03, 2023, 06:24:23 AM
With a small bet, getting a big win is extraordinary luck even luck like that might only come once in a lifetime.
Getting small wins with decent profits is fun enough, especially with big wins maybe someone can become more enthusiastic about gambling, but there will be a negative effect that occurs, namely gambling addiction because I am curious to want to have the same win again.

Everyone has their own luck and everyone has had their turn, just waiting for their time to come.
But there are not a few gamblers who never have luck so that they only get continuous defeats and it is this kind of thing that can make a gambler disappointed or even regret it.
At least with that small bet, we can avoid losses that can get bigger. But if we keep using small bets but gamble for a long time, it will also be a big bet because the money we use will accumulate in the day.

Getting a small win is enough but most gamblers refuse it and still want to get a big win by continuing to gamble. And who knows, with that small bet, we can get a big win by hitting a big multiplier. It's already happened to a few of my friends here so we might as well get one someday. And yes, our luck will also come later so we can keep waiting and don't force ourselves to play gambling if we have experienced a losing streak.
4290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: August 03, 2023, 06:02:04 AM
And even better is to have a job and then do other useful activities, and with this time to play even thinking about gambling there will be no room.
and most do gambling activities because there are no other useful and productive activities for them and only think about gambling, and this happened to my friend. And after he works from morning to evening, after that he goes to the gym and other positive activities, finally over time he doesn't think about gambling. But all of that must also be assisted with a real intention to do so.
That will benefit those who want to reduce gambling activities or even leave gambling. So, in this case, we have to be able to find a distraction for us so we can be preoccupied with that activity and not think about gambling. Thus, we can slowly reduce gambling activities and leave gambling if we really want to stop gambling. There are many things we can do but the problem is that we may not want to do it, so we think there is nothing else we can do. It's just an excuse for those who don't want to quit gambling or reduce their gambling habit.

The same advice is given when someone decides to stop smoking. And it is good advice. The only thing i want to mark - the gambler mustn`t begin doing something when he is thinking about gambling. The best way is to find a new hobby and be really interested in it. And of course his friends and family must help him. If someone has problems with gambling - often he can`t stop without help.
I agree with finding new hobbies unrelated to gambling or saying no money in those hobbies. And I think there are a lot of things we can do that don't use money and we just have to find them. Once we find it and like it, we will continue and slowly, we will not think about gambling so we can start gambling less and even leave gambling. We can ask friends and family to help us find new hobbies so they can also get involved in helping us.
4291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: August 03, 2023, 05:43:53 AM
Its actually quite easy, if you really want to bet on sports that you did not know before, we can bet on the favorite team, even though it do not always give a guarantee, but if we are lucky, we will definitely get a win. but unfortunately this is not only about luck but also about favorite sports like for example you really like football and are a fan of one of the football teams but have no knowledge of other sports after that you will always bet on football because thats the only way you can win.
Its really not recommended to bet on something we dont know, because even though everything still depends on luck, its better to get bigger odds from sports we know, so I agree with you.
But often, we don't know which team is the favorite, so we can only guess based on the betting positions on the market. And that also doesn't guarantee us to win because everything might still depend on other factors. If you bet on your favorite sport, your chances of winning will be greater because at least you already know the details of the sport and only need to analyze each team that will compete later. If you can already find a team that has a bigger chance of winning, it will be easy for you because you can place a bet on that team and wait for the results. Betting on something we don't know about is just for fun and want to have a different experience so if we are curious, we can find more detailed information about the sport.

We really never know our friend until there's money involved, friends will agree on the terms when you're betting but it's different when you all win, there's also betrayal and quarrel along the way like if the person who thinks of the number ask for more shares.

So many things have to be settled or at least get the help of an attorney so you can all be guided on how to proceed in case your group the jackpot so everybody is bounded by an agreement created by lawyers, to avoid this hustle its better to just bet on your own if you hit the jackpot there is no agreement to follow.
That's what we must be aware of if we want to make a deal related to money because money can change everything, including friendships that have existed for a long time. Maybe we really should be able to know which friends are real friends and which are not so we don't run into problems later.

And usually, the problem of sharing money can trigger fights among friends. But maybe it's better if the agreement is done in front of a lawyer so that there is a legal bond that we and our friends cannot violate. It is also to avoid trouble between us and our friends.
4293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Bitcoins to never gamble again. Will you take it? on: August 03, 2023, 04:54:23 AM
The retirement age globally lies between 55 to 60. At that age I can understand our body won't be as productive as it was before. The age group that you wrote can still be competitive enough. At that age ambition and achieving more doesn't stop. When you stop competing with yourself every ambition would stop. For some an amount of 5 BTC can help them lead a an average life for others it is still less and they would try to get more. This is when they might try to gamble some of those BTC to achieve their target quickly. They might fail or win depends on their luck.
We must know how capable we are of achieving that ambition. If we are old, we should be able to reduce that ambition. Our children must continue our family's journey while we can supervise our children's life journey and still give them advice for the best. If we only want to fulfill our desires and ambitions, it will never be achieved, considering that our age is limited and our health and abilities will also decline. If we are old enough and can get those 5 BTC, we can try to help our kids with those 5 BTC so they can use them better than us.
4294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: August 03, 2023, 04:33:20 AM
That will depend entirely on the morality or the ethics of that person, I am quite sure the majority of the gamblers out there will never think about cheating the casino even if the financial gain could be high, however there is also a small number of gamblers out there which are looking for bugs or even trying to find ways to provoke them, and it is clear that for gamblers like that if they happen to find a bug they will take advantage of it immediately and hope for the best at the moment they ask for a withdrawal.
It's because they think what they're about to do to the casino could have a bad effect on their account, so they don't want to try it. Maybe a minority of gamblers or cheaters are looking to exploit that bug loophole to their advantage. But the casino will know sooner or later so that the casino can later block their account and they can't play gambling at the casino anymore. If they report it to the casino, the casino may reward them well.

It comes down to personal integrity, I suppose

If you're the honest, trustworthy type, you'll blow the whistle on the worm. Obviously, you don't want your fellow gamblers to lose their money due to a bug in the system. Plus, the bonus money from the casino if you catch it is a great touch, right?

But if you believe that "the world is a jungle" and that "every man for himself," you might try to take advantage of the flaw. A gift from the cosmos, if you will. However, keep in mind that casinos have hawk-like surveillance systems. They will surely attack at any moment
Surely the casinos will know. The accounts of gamblers who rigged the casino system would surely be banned until they could no longer register with the casino. And that is a loss for those cheating gamblers because if it was a trusted casino, they already lost 1 casino because of their cheating. It is very difficult to find a trusted casino, so we shouldn't do anything that can harm us. But that's up to everyone because we must also be responsible for our actions.

-snip
it do not matter if its just for fun betting a small amount at an unreasonable bet like you mentioned. sometimes i think life is also like a gamble between being successful or only getting worse. sometimes I also bet for fun with my friends but dont just use money but bet with cigarettes and bet on the number behind the license plate of a vehicle that will pass and its very fun.
Im sure that some of the people here have all made unreasonable bets like this, but the reality is that its very exciting and sometimes we as bettors need another betting sensation, not because of addiction, but a different betting atmosphere.
I often do that like you do and it's a lot of fun because it's a mystery that we don't know which vehicle will pass. Besides, it's a small stakes game between our friends and us so there are no regrets whatsoever. And if we play gambling at an online casino, it's really best to use small betting money to avoid big losses. Especially if we have often had the experience of losing playing gambling at the casino, we want to avoid big losses. But indeed, not many of us have succeeded in winning a lot of money from gambling, so we must be able to control ourselves while gambling.
4296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Olympic Games, but doping is allowed?! on: August 02, 2023, 09:58:40 AM
In theory yes, if doping was allowed then doctors should keep a close watch on the athletes and the reactions they have to the medicines they take to improve their performance, but at the same time it is not as if we can predict perfectly what will be the effects on a person after taking a drug, while at the same time some heart conditions are very difficult you detect, and when we add that many athletes will probably take drugs on their own without consulting their doctors then this could create the perfect storm for a lot of accidents to happen.
Besides that, doctors must also be wary of those who can easily get these drugs on the free market. Maybe the people who tried the drugs discovered something that made them want to continue taking them. And it impacts one's health in the long term, especially if there is no further research on the effects of these drugs on one's health. But for athletes, it will affect their health too because they are the first to use these drugs so doctors and researchers must routinely check the health of athletes.
4297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Bitcoins to never gamble again. Will you take it? on: August 02, 2023, 09:05:37 AM
Maybe it's not even about greed, rather it's because 5 Bitcoins aren't enough for the person to fulfill all their dreams and goals. Even though 5 BTCs look a formidable sum of money, it's not enough to live confortably until the end of your life considering all the expenses we already have daily, plus adding increasements due to having access to a superior level of confort, which demands more money and income.

It makes the person looks for more money yet, and then gambling will remain as a valid alternative for those who believe it can work as a source of extra income.
Yes, you are right it cannot be called greed. It is called insatiable wherein a person doesn't feels full even though he has more than enough. This is quite a common thing among youngsters who are never happy with what they have and want more for themselves. We all have gone through the same psychological condition some time in our life or may be going through it now. A gambler would always be insatiable and would always try to achieve more money for him. After owning 5 BTC if a gambler cannot stop gambling then most probably it is because of the addiction or because of insatiability.
If we only pursue satisfaction, it will never be enough. We must remember how far we can go to get more, especially if we look at it from an age perspective where young people can get more because they are in their productive period. Meanwhile, if we are old enough, meaning if we are over 45-50, our abilities have decreased significantly. Of course, we are also unable to compete with younger people, so we must know ourselves. So if someone gives 5 BTC and we can still find more BTC, maybe we can do it. But if we can't, it's better for us to enjoy those 5 BTC in moderation.

There is no problem in gambling if there is a very small amount of capital but those who do not have any capital are also involved in gambling by borrowing money from banks or other sources. The biggest problem in this case is that when he loses in gambling, he will face many problems including zero capital. Since he has taken a loan from the bank or any other source at a high rate of interest, he has to resort to some other means to repay the loan which will not be easy for him at all. Thus gambling is a severe curse for those who lose capital in gambling and become bankrupt. So if you don't have the capital, you should never indulge in gambling by taking a loan from the bank or any other source.
We recommend that those who do not have capital do not get involved in gambling, let alone borrow money from banks or other sources because that will make it difficult for them to return the loan money. It is better for them to find a source of income first to fulfil their needs than to gamble. There is no guarantee that they will win, let alone use borrowed money, but they may have a higher percentage of losing than winning. So if you borrow money, make sure you can afford it and you shouldn't use that money to gamble.

What is the most mad thing you have done due to your gambling addictions besides trying to win back what have already been lost and loosing even more or placing ridiculous amounts on ridiculous bets?

I will start with myself. I think the most weird thing I have done because of gambling is jumping out of the second floor. Dont remember whole story behind, but it all started with "I bet you are scared to jump", followed by people saying "are you a chicken?", "scared?" and etc, forcing me to do that Cheesy
This is crazy honestly making you to jump as high as possible that they themselves can not jump. This kind of bet is mostly based on your capacity and them trying to use money to lure you to do what you know you might not be able to do successfully. If they know you could easily jump without having any injury, they will never wanted to bet on that but because they believe that you might not be able to jump without having any injury, they decided to bet on you. This kind of bets is always 50/50. You to it and have the money and they are not concerned about if you break your legs, hands or not.
When humans face challenges that other people think are crazy, impossible, or even very dangerous, they want to challenge themselves to try. As he said, many people would probably say it was crazy to jump from the 2nd floor just for a bet. But he really did it for the money and for the money too, people would be willing or able to do things that other people thought were impossible to do. There we will see that if someone is under pressure but sees it as a way to show people he can, he will do it. For the sake of money, we can do anything.

Bitcoin is bitcoin and gambling is gambling. Bitcoin is only 1 currency but gambling has many different games to get different type of fun. if you use gambling only for fun then it will give you different type of huge fun but if you use gambling as a source of income and your purpose is only for earn then gambling give you a bad experience without fun. so fun is depend on your purpose. You won't always get fun from gambling but even if you get less fun from Bitcoin it will be long term
The fun I find in gambling is not the fun you get from trading bitcoins. Gambling acts as an addiction. Gambling has a variety of games. Sometimes, if you don't like a game, you can play other games, but do it in bitcoinNo.there are many differences between Bitcoin and gambling. The happiness I find in gambling cannot be found by investing in Bitcoin. Gambling has certain rules and reasons that gamblers must abide by.  There are some people who gamble for free time.
The pleasure of gambling is different from the pleasure of trading so it may feel different. The pleasure of gambling has nothing to do with bitcoins because bitcoins are used as a stake, in this case, the currency. You can use fiat for betting but it's no fun.

Meanwhile, the popularity of bitcoin has increased along with the influx of many investors who have bought bitcoin. And the popularity between gambling and bitcoin is different because it's not related to each other.
