501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: June 22, 2023, 01:52:16 PM
New casinos can come with various innovations, especially to attract more members. But that doesn't mean we don't need to be careful. However, we must be more careful because we need to know how innovation can benefit us or the casino. New casinos are looking to grow and our job is to ensure they can get a good position in the gambling industry. And looking for reviews from this forum can help us decide whether to play at the casino or are still waiting for more reviews. I don't trust reviews from outside sites and trust the reviews I found on this forum more because this forum already has many trusted members. Many of them are veterans in the gambling industry and also experienced so they can provide valid reviews about new casinos.
there are new casino sites that appear every day but they fail to get a lot of customers because the innovations given do not give us confidence and look like a scam so many gamblers don't want to register there.
new gambling sites that want to join the gambling industry and be successful at least they provide attractive offers and any promotions that can make customers feel comfortable with these promotions. so that new casinos can compete in the gambling industry with old casinos and slowly become popular.

but all that is not easy for new casinos because they at least have to have a slightly large amount of money to be able to compete in the world of gambling.

Developers of new gambling platforms must have the courage to build their products so they can be known by many people. By carrying out various kinds of marketing as done by many gambling platforms in this forum who are holding signature campaigns to introduce their gambling platforms. New innovations are needed, but if there is no strong marketing, these innovations will not reach customers. and by providing some promotions will also help new users start registering with some bonuses that will be obtained.
all of this is not easy and requires a large amount of capital, but look at the long term benefits. All of that will be replaced when many customers start to enter and trust the gambling platform.
502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 22, 2023, 01:14:15 PM
Doesn't really matter to me if they see me as a gambling addict because I'm not entitled to make some explanation to them so that their view towards me will change, I already accepted and expected some stuffs like these that will happen to me as no matter what I will say to them, their view will stay the same because they see me as an active to that specific injury. Actually, no words will sway them to make change their minds and most people are actually like that.
Yes, but there are some of them who think this is a problem and can offend him. But for me personally, it's the same as for you guys who think it's not a big deal because I really feel like I'm in that position and I most likely won't be offended. The location factor can also affect whether or not someone is offended when someone is called a gambler, for example, if I am gathering at an event and one of my friends in a group calls me a gambler openly in public, then, of course, I will be offended because I don't want many people to know my bad.

if your friend says that you are a gambler in public and witnessed by many people, that includes harassing you and can even give other people a bad look. I would even be offended if said in public. But even though they are not in public, there is no right for them to say they are gambling addicts, because only people who say that do not have any activities. Gambling is sometimes only used as entertainment, nothing more than that.
503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: June 22, 2023, 12:05:35 PM
Maybe for new casino yes if they are not well prepared for calculating the winning amount of their players. They should think about the percentage to be won versus the overall money they have so that they will not experience this huge loss then might turn a fast scam because their casino cannot afford to pay their costumers anymore.

Its just proper planning is needed to avoid getting trouble regarding on this situation.
This is an important task for those who operate gambling platforms. But calculating these tasks are not complicated anymore. Because most of the works are software based. Bet results can be found within moments. Moreover, the gambling authority knows how many gamblers they have and what their betting ratio can be. Gambling platforms that have large number of gamblers are also financially sound. There are also many gambling platforms that run away with gamblers deposits instead of refunding gamblers rewards.

Gambling platforms that do not provide gambler prizes are fraudulent platforms that are only created to drain the money of many players. for gambling platforms that have many users and are able to survive for a long time then they certainly have good management, but it is not impossible that they will also lose if the management is not done properly. The developer's tasks are also quite difficult, managing the gambling platform determines how many jackpots will appear. If it is not done correctly then the system will be messed up and gambling will issue more bonuses. then the active role of the developer is very important.

All beginners must feel that way, motivated and even more enthusiastic when your comments or threads are appreciated by someone with merit. it proves that it really deserves it.
But it's quite rare that beginners don't get merit because they don't progress. not only beginners, with a legendary rank account can't even get any merit at all, because that will depend on everyone's insight. I also still rarely get it and I admit I don't deepen the topics I comment on. Still need a lot to learn and require broad insight.
505  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between pi and bitcoin on: June 21, 2023, 10:00:48 PM
WTF, why should it be compared to Bitcoin, can't it be compared to other Altcoins. Even other altcoins on the market are still better than Pi coin which is obscure and only promises stupid investors. Pi doesn't really want to mainnet, it's just a bullshit coin giving false hope. rather leave it and choose altcoins that are obvious.
many people who adore pi coin but they are impatient that they are just being fooled, only used as a tool to enrich developers, until a few years have not been mainnet and only promised.
506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do gambling addicts bother about the consequences of their actions? on: June 20, 2023, 11:21:38 PM
I would also like to add that probably, in the mind if a gambling addicted person the ultimate consequence of their actions is to hit a jackpot which would cover all the losses accumulated through years and would allow them to improve their life in a substantial way (assuming they would not go back gambling the next day with the money of the jackpot).

That is an important part of what gambling addiction is about, I think. The unbearable feeling that next time it may be the lucky roll which could change their life for good. Of course, we all are area of the reality, they are not as much as they are supposed to.

But the Jackpot was never hit until they became addicts and spent all their money, even selling their homes and belongings. this will look crazy, being an addict will never think about the consequences, the only goal is the Jackpot which the casino never gives. The addict does not realize that what he is doing will only enrich the casino, there is no control, no planning.
The roll of fortune that is always awaited cannot be guessed, it will still be a mystery and the gambling system has arranged it. 1 jackpot will indeed change his whole life, but waiting or getting a jackpot turn will be a very long wait.
507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Friendly Match is Hard to Predict on: June 20, 2023, 08:19:35 PM
Yes, it's true, friendly matches will always be difficult to predict, because usually they also don't have big ambitions to win. After all, because the title of the match is only a friendly match, it is very likely that they will also only play with strategies and tactics that are only limited to trials and or the team will only play players who are usually only on the bench. Therefore, friendly matches are always more difficult to predict if we compare them to the main match.

But there is also no reason to underestimate every opponent in a friendly match. Every match is important and will be a moment to remember. Big clubs usually only play substitute players during friendly matches because they think it's quite worth it, even though some fans are waiting for the main players to play.
Whether it's difficult to predict or not depends on which club is playing. If Argentina's class competes against Indonesia, surely all predictions will point to Argentina as the winner of the 2022 World Cup.
508  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Luck is what you need in gambling but you have to get to work with trading on: June 20, 2023, 07:16:43 PM
Even though people think inflammation is synonymous with gambling, in practice the two activities are different in carrying out, trading is still trading and gambling is still gambling. Trading is more flexible and measurable in generating profits, but must be based on correct knowledge in practice, while gambling is just a much bigger gamble that does not have a specific method for carrying it out.


trading is trading and gambling is gambling, it's true. It won't be any different, but some people trade like gambling because they don't have any knowledge in trading so they just make guesses, up or down. this will be more similar if you trade futures, Long & Short and it will be done easily by anyone and will lose easily. Real trading is about analyzing coins to predict where they will buy and sell, not just guessing. Gambling is just betting that doesn't have a definite basis of knowledge because gambling only relies on luck and everyone's luck will be governed by the gambling system.
509  Economy / Exchanges / Re: When scammers lacks crypto updates on: June 20, 2023, 06:29:54 PM

It's good to always stay informed about what's happening around crypto lately, get a crypto news app on your phone or subscribe to crypto news feeds online to stay informed, this person was busted because she knew nothing that's presently happening with the exchange company she claimed she is working for.  
The truth is that, scammers are the dumbest set of people and in most cases, if you are not covered in greed that becloud your sense of judgment or you are ignorant of the happeninhappeningscryptocurrency market only then the scammers can easily get you.


But once you can put in a little effort to check on the scheme you will easily point out the red flags when you are having a conversation with a scammer, we have busted a lot of scammers just by having good and adequate information just like in your cases.

scammers a bunch of stupid people who will fool even more stupid people. Then they will get the target easily. Remember that scammers are constantly evolving and have many methods. It's not impossible for you or even other people to fall into their trap. Greed will always be a loophole for scammers to manipulate anyone. Make sure nothing escapes inspection or analysis. Scammers are easy to spot, I often find scammers trying to reach me.
510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 19, 2023, 08:41:27 PM
I'm not an addict, but if I told someone that I gamble and they started talking about me like I'm an addict I'd feel offended. It's the same as lying about someone. I'd try to explain that I gamble occasionally and I have my funds under control and if that did not work, I'd have to cut ties with these people.
To me calling someone that is addicted the way it is should not be offensive, but smearing someone's reputation should. The problem is that many people who are addicted don't understand it and may be offended. You can't do anything about it, to be honest.


In my opinion, it is better to keep the gambling activities that we do secret, than other people's perceptions hurt us, it is better that they do not know anything about our gambling activities. Someone who says we are addicts only sees how we gamble, but addicts and non-addicts will clearly be different. Addicts are more aggressive in gambling and seem indifferent even though they always lose. people who are addicted also have higher levels of stress and if they are easily irritated it is a cause and effect of how they gamble too often and always lose.
511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: June 19, 2023, 08:08:34 PM

This lottery gambling is just like trying your luck with a small bet and getting a big multiplier if you are lucky.
So it's not surprising if someone does it every day and for me it's not too bad because lottery gambling doesn't need to use large amounts of money, you just have to buy a ticket for the number you predict with a few dollars which doesn't make us lose too much and there's no harm in trying a few times. a week.

Many try their luck by guessing lots of numbers and not even just buying one number, but many numbers they buy. Several times I also bought it but it always failed and was not right on target. Seeing my friends always buy with various numbers and strategies to calculate what numbers will come out. several times he won the lottery which gave many benefits. Somehow predicts the number that will come out, but he always buys the right number several times.
512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 18, 2023, 07:14:04 PM
I am very sure Arsenal won't spend 100M to sign Declan Rice to break a record signing according to another news source Man City is also showing interest in him probably that is why West Ham aren't rushing to release him to the gunners for agreeable terms, however majority of players signed that worth 100M or more by other clubs were overated and ended as flop except few of them using Chelsea as a case study despite huge spending yet the club remain not formidable consequently a lot of clubs will be a little bit hesitant following that path that is exactly what is playing out with case of Arsenal bid for Declan Rice personally he shouldn't worth than 80M as a a reasonable price tag
David Moyes is willing to make a good replacement for the departing player, but he would cost the Hammers a fortune. Declan Rice's performance in league games for his club was great, and his market value increased rapidly after he won the European Conference League this season. Mikel Arteta has a keen eye for emerging talent. Elite clubs are vying to sign the Englishman from West Ham, but he wants to join Arsenal, which appears doubtful. Declan Rice remains the Gunners' top priority. West Ham United are hoping for an uptick in bids for their key player, definitely the hammers will missed his presence.

It will be a tough competition, because Arsenal will not be that easy to get Declan Rice. Manchester City will be a strong contender to be able to bring in Declan Rice, Manchester City are also looking for a midfielder considering they will reportedly be left behind by Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva.
Arsenal made a second bid of £100 million, which includes bonuses so that Rice can wear the Gunners uniform next season, but that figure is still slightly less than the valuation set by West Ham.
It seems that Arsenal did not want to let Rice go easily and had to go to Arsenal rather than to other clubs.
513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Improve Your Sports Betting Skills and Win More Bets? on: June 18, 2023, 04:06:17 PM

For me, if you want to bet on other sports, it doesn't matter as long as you understand everything before placing a bet.
Because I myself understand that almost all people who bet on sports betting sometimes want to increase their profits in other sports bets which have higher odds and of course with a little risk of losing that can be minimized.
Football is one of the favorite sports for almost the whole world to know about this popular sport, so it's no wonder that betting on football is really fun with all the strategies to increase profits.

I always understand what I want to choose. Placing bets on soccer is what I really like and it's easier to do research. this will increase my chances of being able to win in betting because I have researched it first.
Apart from football, maybe cricket, horse racing or basketball can be an alternative as long as you know and have a passion for these sports.
If you can only do soccer, then don't switch to anything else, it will be at risk of causing losses. So don't take a bigger risk. stick to sports betting that is mastered.
514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why haven't anyone created a crypto currency name Merit yet? on: June 17, 2023, 11:47:10 PM
I don't really understand this comment or post?  Are people down to just looking at coin names at this point?  What's the difference if something is called merit, tree, Bob, etc.  It's just a name.  I would counter with I can't believe people made coins with some of the crazy names they called them.  It's about the underlying project behind it though right?
well some people are interested solely by name, you can say it's the same like meme coin trend where you just have better name than the others will means that you might be more succesful.
though i'd agree that these naming are just some nonsense if there's fundamental.

Naming that capitalizes on a particular moment is just bullshit, it will only work in the short term and will be abandoned when the hype is over. The trend of meme coins really illustrates this, where many meme coins appear with various names and in the end only the main meme coins can survive. even the same name appears on all Blockchain networks.
in the end this kind of coin is just a pump and dump practice and will hurt a lot of people, not for the long term because it will just be abandoned without further development.
515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How the casino takes money from you with a deposit bonus on: June 17, 2023, 11:23:33 PM
Personally,  I try as much as possible to avoid deposit bonuses this is because of it accompanying conditions because as a gambler the hardest and most painful experience is when you see that you lost all that you have won trying to meet the conditions of the casino,  because of the usage of bonus code and the requirements that comes with it.

Deposit and any other type of bonuses always come with these conditions and if a gambler is not careful enough to read and properly understand these conditions it may become the failing pits because they may be confronted with high wager conditions to meet up with which may become difficult to do.

I do think that these casino bonuses that are being offered are somehow misleading in nature- there are lots of conditions that must be met in order to receive it. In addition, sometimes, I often experience difficulty in withdrawing my cash due to some internal issues that the gambling company must first determine.

As much as I appreciate the bonuses being offered by these gambling websites, nothing beats a reliable gambling website that offers superior security and reliability when it comes to disposing of payments and cash in the process.

Sure, these casinos may offer higher rewards/bonuses but reliability is what makes me stay consistent and loyal at a certain casino even if they offer lower bonuses as rewards.
My friend once said that the casino is the boss and any offer their make must come with conditions and in this case they made the rules and the most appealing condition for the casino is wagering,  since this condition brings in more money for the casino.

So every bonus is always attached with a wager condition and this condition always leads to more losses for the player and not the casino as the case may be.

Bonuses are only a marketing strategy carried out by gambling to double their profits and attract more new users so that new users will make a deposit with a certain amount that is stated in the rules for receiving bonuses.
Terms and conditions are really a must read, as every online casino has their own rules. You really have to be careful not to be disappointed, don't just be tempted by Bonus Ads for new users, it's even the same as bait that will attract big fish to enter.
516  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Categories of Unrealistic Sports Betting Expectations on: June 17, 2023, 11:02:52 PM
honestly I don't even know if these people who bet with 1000$ and want 100k can be said to be in some category because what I've seen are people who bet a lot of money because they also want to win a lot of money, hardly the people who want to have 100k are betting 1000 $ that for them is a very small amount to bet because the guys who want to win a lot of money don't make multibet bets so they have to make single bets which forces them to have to put a lot of money in each single bet, last year when I was run soccer world cup games

out of curiosity I went to see who bet the most in the games and I was shocked by what I was seeing, the guys bet 10,000$ in each game and there were people who made bets with much higher values than these, they were the whales, so I honestly doubt it very much that someone can turn $1000 into $100,000 with sports betting, although I've seen people say they've done this, these people have not shown proof, and I very much doubt that professional bettors would have that kind of goal. As for the guys looking for guaranteed wins, well I imagine it's a matter of time for them to realize that they're looking for something impossible in the long run.

only few people can turn such amount into 100k, and more then likely, those are professional sportsbettors where they live and breath that particular sports. they already know the techniques how to grow their money thru time. but aside from their knowledge of the sports, it would take time and dedication to grow such amount.
a lot of gamblers have their high expectations but they should remind themselves that this is why it is called gambling, because you have no assurance of winning.

Not even a professional would guarantee a $1000 bet to $100k. this was also related to one's luck, though doing some analysis wouldn't be that easy. About more realistic expectations indeed as the OP said i.e. increasing their bankroll. Few people can afford $100k amount in sports betting. many want a big win right now, even though that doesn't look realistic and is just a wish that won't come true, in the end they will waste bets with little wins.
517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: June 17, 2023, 10:39:56 PM
As far as I remember a year or so ago(when Mbappe interrupted what seemed to be a done deal) Perez said they wanted him for free, they weren't going to pay for it. In that case they will have a chance to do it in a year when Mbappe's contract with PSG expires. But I'm not sure he'll fit into Real's squad now...
Whether it fits or not is not seen from what has not happened, if indeed Perez wants Mbappe free, that means waiting is a good opportunity. Because by coincidence PSG still don't want to sell him even though this moment will benefit them instead of having to be in 2024. Regardless of where Mbappe is going later, so far the club that is closer to him is only Madrid and as he said Madrid was his dream club since childhood.
The truth is that Kylian Mbappe has had initial agreement with Real Madrid's president Fiorentino Perez even before the end of 2021/22 season but was surprised by Mbappe's last minute decision to remain at the Parc des Princes by renewing his contract with the French giants in a deal that made him the highest paid footballer in the world as of then.
That been said, Fiorentino Perez is a man whose interest for the player is still very much at it's peak. He still wants to bring the electrifying forward player to Santiago Bernabeu and if PSG fails to sell Mbappe to Real Madrid this summer they'll have to watch him go the Madrid next summer on a free transfer

The latest news about Mbappe's sale is that he will be sold to Manchester United instead of going to Real Madrid. The reason why he prefers Manchester United is that the relationship between PSG and Real Madrid is not going well and there is a crash because the transfer offer made by Los Blancos is rejected by the French club.
the bomber has a market price of 180 million pounds. Even though it is expensive, Mbappe's presence at Manchester United will certainly add to Manchester's strength on the field because, Mbappe is currently one of the best strikers in the world.
latest information, Kylian Mbappe has informed PSG of his decision: he will NOT choose the option to extend the current contract until 2025, That means the above deal will expire in June 2024 says Fabrizio Romano
518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Improve Your Sports Betting Skills and Win More Bets? on: June 17, 2023, 06:31:46 PM
Some good advice on this thread. Personally I think a good knowledge of the sport you’re betting on and familiarity with the teams is the best advantage but you can’t forget to check things like injuries, who has a day off, who is going through a divorce, what city they are playing in, who is in a contract year, etc.

Of course there’s nothing like some good old fashioned luck.
Indeed and also it will be good if the sports you are betting is really your favorite one because it will make you understand the rules and regulations of the game, he will be familiarize to the team yes and previous matches and strategies. From there, he can determine why the odds of the certain team is going to be okay than the other team.

sometimes someone just wants to try other sports matches besides their favorite sports. Maybe it's like trying their luck. regarding the rules of the game of course it has been studied in advance what can and cannot be violated. I honestly prefer soccer matches because I can analyze them easily because many people discuss them. Just need to choose which one is the best.

You should diversify your investment portfolio and consider altcoins. Altcoins can offer different investment opportunities and potential returns, but it's crucial to conduct thorough research and understand the specific characteristics, use cases, and risks associated with each altcoin before investing.


I've done that, and diversified my assets in some of the altcoins that I mentioned. But Bitcoin does become a major long-term investment. For some altcoins, I chose the top altcoins with quite good development, especially ETH which is everyone's favorite coin after Bitcoin. Research also needs to be done, although some coins are top coins, we don't want incidents like LUNA to happen again and LUNA was one of the top coins at that time.
520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is There A Time That You Calculated All Your loses In One Year on: June 16, 2023, 10:40:42 PM

It boils down to the emotions of the gambler, if he has total control of it, then for sure he might get out and not force his luck when he see that he is not winning. But it's really hard to control it when your brain is really hook up on gambling.

And with that I think majority of us will not admit that we might have lost more than winning. Specially if we calculate even in the last 6 months of our gambling activity. Which means it's really hard to make money unless you got lucky or have the control not to bet big. Just simply enjoy the game and who knows, maybe lady luck will smile on you and give you a good winnings.

The brain is already controlled by gambling and those who are addicted can no longer think about how to strategize so that gambling does not only waste their money. There is no control, so losses cannot be controlled either. Making profits from gambling is still very minimal, more losses. That will happen when you are forced to continue gambling, even though gambling with small amounts of money can also produce, you just need luck and that luck is only given a few times by gambling. there will be a system that already regulates victory and defeat.
