Not a good idea to deal up with bitcoin since the fee is so high and we cannot be so sure the transaction speed since its also hard to get stuck while we really want to play the game immediately. Maybe its time to look for better alternative and litecoin is better option for this, they could also find other alts which offer more convenience to their user so that there will be no problem if the same issue with bitcoin will occur in future.
Maybe now we can switch to using altcoins for gambling because the costs are still high. And we also don't know whether if we keep using bitcoin it will run smoothly or whether it will get stuck in the network. It's better if we avoid it for a while or maybe rest a bit while waiting for the network to recover. Those are the only two solutions I can see right now, except if we already have balances at multiple casinos, it will make it easier for us not to deposit any more money into them.

We may have no choice but to use altcoins, as even high transaction fees for bitcoin transactions don't guarantee quick confirmation. Fortunately, we have many options available, and gambling sites have already prepared to address this issue by adding more payment methods. The gambling sites I use have a variety of altcoin options, so gambling isn't really a problem nowadays, unless you're using funds from your bitcoin wallet.
This is the advantage of playing gambling at crypto casinos because we can use many altcoins in cases of increased transaction fees that we don't know how long they will subside. We can only hope that the transaction fees will return to normal so that those used to using bitcoins for gambling will not feel like they are now. Casinos now provide support to users by providing many altcoins to gamble with.
5582  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 09, 2023, 02:38:21 PM
I like welcome bonuses without wagering and also rakeback bonuses. Monthly, bonuses is also something I like to give to active members no matter how small your bet is. This will encourage the gambler to be active with the casino.
I love free spin rewards but most times it is hard to win because it is a game based on luck,and if you are not on your lucky moment,you should take it for fun.
Everyone likes a welcome bonus without wagering, especially if they can withdraw their winnings without any tough requirements. And it is a very attractive promotion for many gamblers because they will be interested in trying the casino. And maybe giving bonuses like that can make gamblers return to the casino.

I also like the free spins bonus, especially if the free spins are given after I make a minimum deposit. I often see this given by the casinos to their users to reward those who deposit money and play at the casino. This is a form of gratitude from the casino to its users.
5583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Politicians behind the development of gambling platform on: May 09, 2023, 01:10:03 PM
Politics is not gambling, if a politician want to get population or voters with gambling I think that people that may follow the politicians don't know their what, so I believe that for politics people get votes during election for some things they have already done or their reputation base on the what the person brought to the masses
Politicians can own a gambling business to get funds used for campaigns. And it's from the money from the illegal gambling business that they can pay people to vote for them, and that has been the case for a long time in many places. They think that money can buy people's votes and by making sweet promises to them that they will provide welfare for the people in the future. But once elected, they won't give it away and instead focus on growing their business to earn more money while in office.

I mean, in every bet there is always a research mechanism that we do before betting on a team that is not superior. is it worth it, if not we can choose many options. also, don't just rely on fun vibes, because usually that will interfere with the research we've been doing. interestingly, in football offers opportunities that make more money. as you said, especially if we choose the parlay option. of course, the odds on offer make gamblers very interested.

While research can make your gambling journey more entertaining, it doesn't guarantee you a win. The real experts in this field are the oddsmakers, as they make odds that will likely attract both sides to ensure that the bookies generate consistent income from the juice. So, in addition to research, luck plays a major factor in winning at sports betting.
Doing research can give us predictions about who will win so that we will get a great chance to win, even though that is also not a guarantee to win. But we can't deny that luck plays a major factor in gambling, so we have to see it as a determining factor in getting a win. If we don't do research, we won't be able to choose to bet, so it will be difficult to win.

This is the time when you really appreciate the roles of altcoins in gambling. The likes of Dogecoin (Doge) and Litecoin (LTC) and stablecoins are great options especially when spending relatively small amounts for gambling. I feel like we are going back in time with this rising Bitcoin fees. We're moving backwards. We're brought back to the time when the strongest argument against Bitcoin is its fees. Now it is still the same, if not worse, thanks to Ordinals.
It looks like it's time to see altcoins being able to become popular again after the cost of bitcoin has skyrocketed. Maybe we will see a lot of altcoins on the list of every casino will grow because many gamblers are switching from using bitcoins for betting to preferring altcoins.

In this case, altcoins provide convenience for those who gamble because users can choose coins with transaction fees that are not too large. Yes, I also chose to use LTC or stablecoins to bet later after checking the bitcoin transaction fees.

Again, pragmatists are not on my side, is it because recently I've had such bad luck that I've been unlucky or whatever but unfortunately there's always a loss.
This time I tried a slot game that had just been launched and usually a new game gives a pretty good RTP but this only gave me a loss where I played with a remaining balance of around IDR.200,000 but it was all used up.
I don't know what kind of slots to play but I'm getting bored with some of these games.
I don't know about you, but I advise you to choose slot games from other providers instead of playing at Pragmatic Play. I also lost a few dollars playing on that provider so I decided not to play with it for a while.

You can try new games on Stake and I have shared that in the Stake thread Grin

Who knows, of the 18 new types of games that have been added, you can win a lot of money from several slot games. I didn't check the RTP of each game and just chose which one I liked at that time. Happy playing Grin
5587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer Original Slots or slots from 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 09, 2023, 09:20:39 AM
I prefer third party slot games to real slot games from casinos although I sometimes play them if I want something different. But even if you play in original casino slot games or slots from third parties, you still have to have luck.

Slot games from third parties vary greatly, especially in terms of images, background music, or the amount of bets so that we can adjust it to what we want to play. Sometimes we can play several slot games from one provider at a time. But sometimes we only play one slot game from one provider.
5588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Expect Consistent Winnings From Gambling - A Lesson I Learnt. on: May 09, 2023, 08:47:39 AM
When you start winning and keep wining for some time (gamble/trading/other stuff) you feel like you can't lose. This is such a delusional state which is hard to predict first time you are in. I had it with trading and if you come from it with minimum loses it's such a worth trade in experience and money related stuff. I'm lucky it happened to me when I was pretty young and didn't lose much money. Be careful when things go bad, and even more careful when things are going good.
I would say if you're always making money in trading, you can quit your day job, in case you're already make a lot money and you can earn passive income by investing your money you've make from trading. The passive income you get are expected to cover up your daily spending, this mean if your trading goes wrong, you can still life with your passive income. Having a business is a good decision too especially if you're interested in business.
But the problem is many people have not been able to make money trading but have decided to quit their day jobs. They forget that in trading, there are cycles that make the market go down and they will find it difficult to survive if they don't have enough expertise.

But if they still have their day job, they can use their salary to survive while improving their skills to profit in trading. But passive income is different from trading profits because you get passive income by owning something that can give you money without working. But in gambling, you can not expect getting the win because you may lose many times rather than win.
5589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ridiculous Bets that disappointed you on: May 09, 2023, 08:24:46 AM
  Guys Share bets that disappointed you...
Disappointment is something that most gamblers are used to, and if it is not something you are used to as a gambler, you should prepare yourself. I have been disappointed many times gambling, but the most recent one I can recall is a recent sports game that Arsenal disappointed me a lot. The game that arsenal lost the lead they had to Westhampton was most disappointing recently. That game on bet for me was a straight win for Arsenal, we had the lead and it was supposed to end that way, but the game ended disappointingly in a draw.

It seems to me that if a person decides to gamble, he must accept that losing is more likely than winning and there is no point in getting upset about it. It is clear that sometimes we put too much hope on this or that outcome, but we all need to be more pragmatic when it comes to both gambling and betting on sporting events. Not having high hopes is always easier to accept a loss.
By accepting the results, we will not be more disappointed and can try gambling again next time. Who knows, later, we can turn things around and be able to win and, at the same time, recover the losses we experience. So even if we feel it is a ridiculous bet we are making, as long as we can accept it, it will be fine. And so that we don't make ridiculous bets, we are better off betting a small amount to accept the result, whatever it is.

But perhaps what disappointed us the most was when we were playing gambling, suddenly our internet connection had problems and caused us to lose. That happens to me often and maybe I think it's a ridiculous and disappointing bet that makes me lose.
5590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 09, 2023, 07:07:03 AM
Gambling is supposed to be for some certain people who can control themselves without causing harm to themselves. We need to try and help people who are having problems of gambling addiction or some other problems that might be as a result of gambling unnecessarily. We are liable for any result we get fr our various gambling activities.
If many people gamble in a controlled manner, they certainly won't have gambling addiction problems because they can gamble without chasing after wins and know when to stop. You can help these people but if they don't have the intention to cure themselves of gambling addiction, you won't be able to do it. Even if you have to force it, you still won't be able to do it.

They are responsible for the results they get but most of them cannot accept the results and continue to gamble using more money. Gambling responsibly will not cause any problems and we can enjoy it too.

Congrats! Good wins, mate!

I know Red Tiger. I used to play a lot slots from them. Small wins, but frequent, huh? Smiley

Since I have not been playing them for quite some time I decided to give it a go. At first it were indeed only small wins like these







but just when I decided to quit I hit this one



It was a nice experience. Great provider Red Tiger is. Thanks for your post, @ethereumhunter! +1
Thank you Grin

But you are superior to me because I see you often get a big winning. Although your ID is @Betwrong, that does not mean you are making a wrong bet.

I will give it a try with the other provider soon. Geez, it slowly makes me anxious hahaha.

A big congratulations to you guys, playing slot of one of the easiest and fastest ways to make some money in gambling, but this is possible if one is lucky..
Amongst all the providers listed, I only know and have played slot games from pragmatic play, and play n go, the rest and basically new to me, I still know some other that are not listed by the way..
I will try some of this new games later tonight, most especially those from unknown providers, would love to see if I could be lucky like you guys..
@Betwrong - the win you had just when you decided to stop playing, is a good lure to keep playing, I hope you didn't fall for it? 🤓🤓
Thanks bro Grin

Well, if everyone thought that and tried to play slots, they would not be able to win easily. Most of them would lose their money. Be careful when playing slot games because they can consume your money.

You can try the provider that I play. Play'N Go is one that I like. Oh yes, I haven't played Pragmatic Play for some reason. I don't really like it at the moment, maybe because of my $20 loss at Gate of Olympus a while ago.

@Betwrong is a reliable gambler who often gets big wins, so I don't think he will be fooled and will win a lot of money Grin

As a slot addict i wanted to test out these immediately.
Sugar twist seems to be sugar rush with few different objects and scatters, i guess that's the twist in it. It has the same music as well but am in no way complaining as i loved the sugar rush and this feels fresh.

Power of olympus was a weird ripoff from gates of olympus. I don't want to support those as i want to reward originality. There were lots of beautiful and interesting ones when i was skimming them
I mainly have been playing Pragmatic so i wanted to test their slots first but athena's glory had a nice demi gods series feel that i loved in spinomenal.
So far i haven't won anything big on those, but i continue to try rest of of them later.
At first, I wanted to play Sugar Twist but for some reason, I was more interested in playing Knights of Avalon. And finally, I was able to win and for $6.36 Grin

I didn't hear the music because I turned off the sound on my laptop so my wife wouldn't hear it hahaha.

Maybe I'll try playing Power of Olympus and see how it works. Hopefully, I can get that win again Grin

For now, I want to stay away from Pragmatic Play slot games because it seems the provider dislikes me playing them. Spinomenal is also good to try. Ugh, too many slot games from various providers.

After I updated my browser, stake wasn't accessible to me yesterday so I flushed cache and change DNS to be able to access the casino. All good now.

Before I was able to access however, I tried several browser I have and one that I discover was that search result tend to point me to another stake with different domain extension. Sorry if this had been asked before but i just discovered
Code:
stake.bet
. Is this casino related to Stake.com?
I am not familiar with that site.
You can try it by using a different browser. I use Chrome and do not face any problems. But it is strange because usually, after changing DNS, you can visit Stake without a problem.

Thank you, @danherbias07, for providing the mirror Stake site.

Oh, by the way, you can also visit on Stake page on Twitter. I also found another mirror site:

Code:
https://twitter.com/Stake/status/1451386087302045700

But that was from an old post.
5592  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Investing and trading in crypto: can make you or mar you. on: May 09, 2023, 05:54:59 AM
Supposedly in investing in crypto, we can get huge profits after holding it for some time. But the problem is that people don't analyze when they can start investing and buy it immediately even though the price is still at its peak. They were not ready to see the price drop drastically and panicked and immediately sold it. They don't think of keeping it on hold until their target is achieved in a few years. They think their bitcoins will continue to decline and not rise again, so they want to save the money they used to buy bitcoins. But that makes them lose money and they can't have bitcoin anymore because they have sold it. And when the price bounces even higher than what they bought yesterday, they regret it and can't sell their bitcoins because they already sold them.
They have a quick rich mindset that can lead them to make bad decision and incur losses, the problem is not the crypto but their mindset before they put their money. Majority of them are just focusing on  how much rewards that they can get and not how much money they can lose. In the end, it is now too late because they already lose so much money. Investing in crypto can really make us rich but it is not enough because there are things that you should also have focus on like what type of strategy that you will use when you already made your 1st investment? when you will place your cut loss,? what is your bias? where did you get your conviction to make an investment?

These are just examples of things that you should consider, you cannot become rich by just investing your money and holding some coins. If it is the key then everybody should be rich but it is not the case. Majority are losers because they ignore important things especially the organized planning. Instead of thinking how can they protect their hard earn money, they immediately thinking how can they double their money in short period of time and that kind of idea is very dangerous because you will get pressure to make money and you will create decisions that can lead you to major mistakes.
If they don't immediately change their mindset, they will never be able to benefit from their investment. Instead, they will suffer losses because they only want profits as soon as possible. They must know that investing in bitcoin requires a long time and must have strong hands to hold it for a certain period of time. Everything would yield good results if they had the patience to bide their time.

They can be said to be lucky because they have a lot of potential coins that can be their investment. But the problem is that they can't find the coins and rely on other people's advice which doesn't guarantee them big profits. And they shouldn't even think about getting rich quickly, even though it might happen at the right time and place. But investing does take time so they have to be more patient.
5593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: May 08, 2023, 08:46:35 AM
Well, it's not just slot games but almost all casino games are programmed and the owners just change. And all are programmed to beat most players who will play on their platform.
But even though we already know that we still play and do it, because there is a feeling that is difficult for a gambler to explain that the addiction or excitement is there even if we are not really addicted to it. Especially when the casino gives us the experience of winning, it's a strange magnet that we feel going back and forth and trying other casino platforms here in cryptocurrency.
I don't think that casinos program their slot games to keep winning because if that happens and many gamblers know it, they will leave the casino and will not return to the casino. Gamblers will think that the casino is cheating them, making them uncomfortable with it and they will look for other casinos that can be fair to their users.

But even without being programmed, it won't be easy for us to win in slot games because slot games are luck-based gambling games. So if we don't have luck, we will never win and only experience defeat. And when we lose many times in slot games, we will become curious and want to repeat gambling in other slot games because we think other slot games can bring us luck.

I see that Stake has added 18 new slot games. But most of the providers I've never played. Has anyone tried it? What is the result? Did you win or lose?



This seems like a challenge to try providers that are still unfamiliar to me Grin

So I tried to play Knights of Avalon. Using Buy feature with $0.1 as the bet which gave me 7 FS:



And that gave me total won $16.36 which I get profit $6.36 Grin



I know only six slot games from providers, namely Play'N Go, Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, Spinomenal, Hacksaw Gaming, and Endorphina.

Yes we pay for the transactions fees and about the bonuses yes maybe we can do that
It's interesting to know your casino pays the transaction fees. But what about when transaction fees suddenly increase? Do you still pay the transaction fee or delay the withdrawal process because of a sudden increase in transaction fees or will you charge transaction fees to users? We know that transaction fees can increase suddenly, so we need to be aware of this.

If it is about bonuses, it will attract a lot of reputable members to do a check and then they can give a rating about your casino. And if it works well, your casino will have many people who want to join and try to play gambling at your casino.

I rarely win 5k sats too, but the chance, although a small one, to win something bigger, like $500 amazon gift card, or 50 Golden tickets, or iPhone, or Rolex, that's what excites me. I won 5k lottery tickets couple of times, and I remember that feeling. It was nice. Seeing that people win in the lottery with under 100 tickets quite often, you a still very small chance, but hope to win something. Smiley It's a good feeling.
The prize I get most often is RP and the second is satoshi. It is a good reward for me because at least it will increase my RP or satoshi amount Grin

I once got a 1x lottery ticket for the grand prize but it does take a lot of luck to win it. I once hoped to win an iPhone but realized you also need luck. So I accept whatever prizes I get from WoF rounds.

Wow, I haven't heard that phrase from the altcoin season for a long time, which was so common in 2017, now things have changed, bitcoin has had its good Rallies that have been considered an upward trend according to Expert traders and Investors, although for It hasn't happened yet, but personally the Altocin season when it starts to Happen is the best opportunity to make money and I think very Quickly, because eventually it's when bitcoin is bullish and doesn't stop, that's the best time to Make money.

The altcoin season is coming and so is the bull run for bitcoin. We must be more patient in waiting and preparing all our coins. And if we can find hidden gems for altcoins, it will give us a big advantage. We also still have a chance to find hidden gems and now bitcoin is experiencing another correction. Who knows how deep the price of bitcoin will fall this time?

I really regret why people ignore all of our messages in the thread that this site cannot be trusted even OP account has also been marked as a fraud.

I think it is happening as they are promoting many other ways except the forum. And for those promotions, a lot of people is falling on their trap. If you check then you would be able to know that no reputed member became victim of them as they are aware about the scam activity of the 1xbit.
We leave it to be the people who ignore all our messages in this thread and let them bear it because we already warned them not to choose their casino as a place to gamble.

We must continue to warn people to be careful when choosing a casino because we are concerned for them. And we also teach them about the scam casinos that are ready to take their money. What we have to worry about are new people who are still confused about finding the casino because they don't have enough experience to find the casino. And by keeping them alert, at least we are helping people to be vigilant and stay away from scam casinos.

Even with high bankroll martingale can easily eat and deplete you fund especially when you encounter a series of reds in your roll. 20+ red streak can possibly make your bankroll negative  and we all know that 20+ read streak is very possible.  I even experience this in spinning a slot. 20+ dead spin.  Imagine if I martingale my bet and I experience that 20+ streak. 
If someone doesn't realize that getting to 10+ is a sign, he should stop immediately and doesn't stop gambling. Instead, he will only run out of money if he uses big bets, especially if he gets 20+ a series of reds.

For slot games, usually after getting several losses, we can get a win which, even though it's a small win, can make us continue to gamble. So for gambling, I think it's really worth it if we stick with small bets even though we have a big bankroll because it sure hurts to see all our balances used up that day.
5599  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you consider moving abroad? on: May 07, 2023, 12:16:40 PM
I advise you to keep working as usual and try a side job online because now I see the need for online work has increased rapidly and many companies need a lot of freelance employees. You can use that method or you say that you have bitcoins, I think you can try to learn about trading while you work as usual. Of course, it will give you a chance because you don't have to go anywhere after work.

You have to make many considerations because it is not easy to move abroad without any preparation immediately. You also have to consider the cost of living abroad, which may be higher than in your country. If you can hone your skills to get a job in your country, I think it will be better than moving to another country. You also have to compete with people from that country for a job and if you don't have an advantage over the average people, it may be difficult for you to get the job you want.
5600  Economy / Gambling / Re: Land base slot vs Online slot RTP on: May 07, 2023, 10:56:27 AM
Apart from all the technical stuff, RTP, odds, etc., it depends on one's personal preferences and timetable about how they want to gamble, those who have enough spare time and love land-based casinos will probably prefer that, and those who like playing games and want more varieties will surely go for online slots since there are a lot of games available.

Personally, I think it's more convenient playing online since there is basically no hassle and you also get higher multipliers if you are lucky. As said by everyone, it's way more difficult to get any big wins when you are playing slots in a land-based casino.
We are more comfortable playing at online casinos because we have found something that can protect our identity or show the public that we are gamblers. Besides that, we play gambling using crypto, which means we don't want anyone to know that we are gambling.

But for the RTP problem, I don't think it's too affected because if it's a slot game where it really depends on luck, we won't be able to win easily. We will surely face many defeats that can bankrupt us if we are not aware of it.
