I was thinking about my past experience with my grandmother when I was still starting in crypto industry and was getting familiar with gambling yet. Since I knew she was a gambling enthusiast (loved slot machines), I tried introducing her to virtual betting, telling it was an accessible and easy method to gamble from home with comfort and easiness.

So I opened a slots website on the laptop and told her to click the touchpad over the roll button, indicated by the arrow on the screen, to start betting. She did it for a while and had some fun when winnings were hit. In the end, I asked her what she thought about the experience and if she would replace the habit of going to physical casino by the virtual one, but she replied that it was too complicated for her to play online, and that she likes the contact with a physical environment where there are physical machines and other people to talk, so she could leave the boredom of staying alone at home to see traffic and flux of people outside the doors.

As you can see, it wasn't only about gambling, but also about interacting with other people inside a real gambling environment, besides the technological experience not being so rewardable when compared to playing at solid, palpable physical machines.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

I appreciate everyone's responses here.  I haven't had time to go through all of them yet, but the few that I have, have helped me to be able to understand things a little better.



Yeah exactly, I'm wondering how it can ( or can't ) be proven if the Casino is cheating you or not.  It feels like they have been lately, hence why I've asked this question lol

It is so unfortunate how some gamblers become so addicted to the extent of selling off most of their properties just to play gamble even when they're aware of the risk that is associated with selling ones properties as you may not be able to replace that same property again even in your entire life.

I remembered some years back when an addicted gambling friend of mine sold his father's car and used the money to play gamble, and he ran out of the house to an unknown destination for over 3 years such that the parents where even looking for him to come back home regardless of the crime he committed because he was his parents only male child, so this friend of mine was invincible and without communication for 3 years and afterwards he returned home looking so unkept and his parents saw him and started crying that regardless of what he did that he wouldn't have ran out of their sight and he apologized for his actions and started living a different life. Just imagine the conditions he went through just because of taking a reckless decision that may have even taken his life because no one knows his activities as he left home and moreover he had already spent all the money gotten from the car he sold on gambling, so how he managed to survive without money and help from his friends and relatives for good 3 years is a risk no body would wish to take in life.

No matter how deep you are in gambling never you sell a property because you will surely regret it when it doesn't work the way you expected.

Have you ever sold a property to play gamble and afterwards finds it difficult to replace that same property again?

That neighbour doesn't have a DT system, there's not even feedback like there is here. It exists, but it is very poorly implemented, so it cannot be considered relevant. So if someone sells their account in the neighbour's yard, it is certainly not part of the problem on Bitcointalk.
Certainly, there are administrators there too, who will react to the report in the case of impersonating someone else's profile from here. It is not particularly complicated if there is evidence and there is a desire to expose such accounts.

Investing is not gambling. In fact, if we invest carelessly, it is usually called gambling, but not in the true sense but only as a parable. Gambling is a game that involves risking money or something that has value and in reality it is very different from investment, and a ponzi scheme is a fraudulent motive that is usually affiliated with an investment motive, and I do not call it gambling but investment fraud

I never try to deliberately invest in something that will most likely be a scam in the future, but because you are ready for the risk and have good analysis before investing, then this is not a problem. But I like your way of managing risk

Of course! We agree with this. The terms for the bonus are specific to each bonus campaign. To find the tnc for this bonus. Head to the rewards tab by clicking on your avatar. The bonus will appear and you will be able to click the tnc and read them.

We are also adding tnc access to the deposit page next to bonus activation.

It might be allowed but it definitely should not be.

Imagine if there are shady practices that happen in the gambling company, a new member goes to complain and the *gang" who are blindfolded by the payments that they receive from their master, attack legitimate complaints and claims?

This is where incentivizing posts within the same thread that the employer is running, goes wrong.

Then you add merit into the mix, people are able to/see that joining this circle jerk gets you ranked up faster, adding to the blindfolded numbnuts in the thread.

It shouldn't be allowed.

If I remember correctly, I contacted LoyceV about this 6-12 months ago, asking if it was worth posting about several members meriting each other in the Sportsbet thread. I ended up deciding against it temporarily, though I am glad the OP has pointed things out. I'll be sending him my research soon too.

I just met a friend while playing in a lottery called Keno. He is a good gambler and sometimes hits jackpots. As a pensioner with grown children, he is a heavy bettor. I noticed that he is a generous gambler. He uses half of his winnings to treat friends, neighbors, and relatives every time he wins. He does this to invite good karma and since he acknowledges his gambling addiction, people who know him don't question him.

One of his friends asked him why he kept betting instead of saving so he would have something when he needed it.

His answer was straightforward, ' I was surprised by his answer. His friends felt guilty for asking him. Some gamblers are that generous to avoid questions about their gambling activities and to continue gambling.

How about you? Are you generous and if so, why are you generous?

In my case, I am a little generous because winning is a blessing that should be shared. However, I will not make people feel guilty when I give an amount from my blessing.

When I saw a survey indicating that the majority of voters chose the player that only a handful of experts expect to win over the player that has proven to be more dominant, it blew my mind.

I am talking about the boxing match between former champion and big star Anthony Joshua and mma star Francis Nganou. However, I remember not long ago I refused to place a wager on Real Madrid because I desired Girona to win La Liga. In addition, wagering against the Los Angeles Lakers when matched with the best NBA teams is difficult for me.

I want to find out if there are individuals like me. What percentage of the gamblers in Bitcointalk are wagering and not wagering to their dearest star player, club and team?

People that gamble in sports will know that grouping your bets in a single slip (often called paroli) is a way to increase the odds on your stake. The massive downside this has is that if you make even a single wrong prediction, your whole stake at the given betting slip is counted as a loss.

The big advantage multi-bets can have is that it can lead to extremely high multipliers even if many bets with small odds are combined.
So I'm wondering if people out there have a certain multi-bet strategy.
For me I'm trying to figure out if there's a good strategy for multi-bets but it's not something that easy.
Good thing is that when playing with high odds, let's say chasing 10x multibets, it's ok to have a losing slip every so often.

If you go for odds that are 10x for instance, if you win more than 1 in 10 times you are still earning more than you're losing. Might sound easy but it's not.
Luckily crypto bookmakers allow very small bets so it's easy to experiment.
So, anyone else here playing with multi-bets? Any strategies?

I didn't try them just like that:




I waited 7-8 hours before contacting support, they told me that the withdrawal can take anywhere from 15 minutes to several days. Maybe I would have waited longer, who knows, but BTCGosu provided support and speeded things up.


I am glad that I gave you a try! I had a great evening with some crazy nice winnings! In the end, everything was good for me and I made a nice profit! I am lvl 5 and I need just a few points to lvl 6! I guess I will be there in the upcoming days!
