561  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: February 19, 2024, 09:59:47 AM
I am curious to know who are their targeted audience and at what age group. In general gambling people target countries like thailand more but probably this is not the case with crypto. Do they target nerds or total dumbs? How efficient they are between their marketing tactics?

That's a strange question, to say the least. Are you a gambling addict who lost all his money and now going around mudslinging honest businessmen from gambling industry?

For your information, gambling is here for entertainment and relaxation, and some people have been cured from mental illnesses like PTSD even by gambling, both on-line and off-line.

Also, gambling industry doesn't "target countries like thailand more". Don't spread lies. Get well soon.
562  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: February 18, 2024, 11:42:53 AM
Gambling at work is tolerable if you are working at home. At least when you're working at home you can contain yourself when you lose, you can make  yourself at ease because you know that you are in your own safe space. But if it is in office, I think it is hard because your workmates can notice your change of mood, either you are sad or angry, and it much harder to contain yourself because you are in the office. And yes, it can affect your performance. Because of your bad mood, you tend to get lazy and much harder to work.

So for me, let's prioritize our work first because it is our source of income. Without work, you have no money, when you have no money, you can't gamble. Gambling is just there for side hustle and for fun. Do not let gambling ruin your work.

For me, working from home or working in the office doesn't make much of a difference. Only you will hardly punished for your gambling if you are doing it while working from home.

My advice, if you are working from home, allocate some time, like 7-10 hours for your work, and don't gamble during that time.
563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: February 18, 2024, 11:11:02 AM
When we talk about religion we cannot dine the forbidden things like alcohol, prostitution and many other things in this topic we will discuss why do gambling is forbidden (Haram, interdit) .
So can you tell me why is it forbidden in your religion?
And for the non religious persons what you think ?

Not a religious person myself, but I know about it a thing or two. The main reason why gambling is forbidden by many religions is that when gamble you rely on money too much. Not on your God or Goddess, not on yourself, but on money. You believe it can bring you happiness and if it's a big amount it can make you happy forever. I personally think that it's wrong way of thinking regardless of someone being religious or not.

565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: February 18, 2024, 09:36:03 AM
~an expert. You can easily spot the parts that are different from other sites, and pay more attention to them.
If people want to read it, that's even better, even though sometimes it's not much different from other casinos, of course reading it is better, you don't have to read the whole thing because you just have to read the important points, where I'm sure every important point is also the same for other casinos, but maybe there are very slight differences. a little bit, not a lot, sometimes there are also casinos that are lazy about making copies of the terms and conditions of other casinos, as we can see, many casinos with templates that are not much different because they are lazy to develop further.

But actually, if you want to play gambling just to try with a small amount of money, you don't have to read it further, just make sure you don't break the casino rules. Usually each rule is not much different from other casinos, but for gamblers who want to play with quite a lot of money, you should read it. terms and conditions to avoid future problems just for not reading them, after all sometimes casinos often make changes to the terms and conditions on their sites without needing to notify their users.

The thing is that even betting a small amount you can win a lot, thousands of USD. And what a shame it would be if won't be able to withdraw you winnings in that case! So, I would say, no, not only you want to play with quite a lot of money you should read the terms and conditions. Save yourself from possible unpleasant situations, read them.

As Panjul said, there's no shortcut to play slots... It's all based on luck, hence exploration is also part of the game.
But some information is better than no information, therefore you can find:
- Live RTP if you play on bitcasino.io or sportsbet.io
- How many players are live on a particular game on stake.com
- And public high-roller live data on various casinos

But yeah these data cannot be used for any serious analysis, IMO just use "many players are live" as an indicator of popularity if you are new to the game.

I've always  been interested in this part. If you want to be kind of a guy that is watching which slot machine hasn't delivered anything for a long time, Live RTP is for you, my friend. Yeah, I know it all doesn't matter and stuff, I want to that guy sometimes. Just for the hell of it.

What I wanted to ask, @mu_enrico, do you know, Live RTP refers to the RTP of a particular slot on a particular platform, or globally?
567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever introduced an elder gambler to online betting? on: February 17, 2024, 02:10:30 PM
Studies have shown that older adults are particularly susceptible to gambling addiction due to factors such as increased leisure time, potential loneliness, and reduced financial security. This can lead to devastating consequences, impacting not only their own well-being but also their families and communities.

However, it is important to approach this issue with nuance. While shielding older adults from all forms of gambling might seem like a reasonable solution, it may not be the most effective or respectful approach. Many seniors enjoy participating in low-stakes games or social gambling activities as a form of leisure and social interaction. Banning all forms of gambling could unintentionally deprive them of these positive experiences.

I absolutely agree with you. Low stake gambling can be like a medicine for older people. A medicine that costs much less than what they are usually taking, but at the same time more effective too. I'm not going around telling older people to gamble, but I know that I don't actually need to do that. All of them know what gambling is and using it for their entertainment, and I think they are doing the right thing.

That's right! depending to how you choose your way, if you think that by following those influencer might give you decent chance of hving some edge the outcome will be the deciding factor, though blindly following those influencers will mostly brings you to a sudden losses, it's better to have your own research and do your own analysis instead of believing from those lies which being presented by influencers who are only caring for their referrals and advertisement fees.

Most of them are not telling lies. They just show how they play and how they win. If they were saying that they win all the time, that would be a lie. But who of them is saying that?

You can research and do analysis for million years, but that will never give you an edge in the totally luck-based games.

Yes it seems that you already feel the benefits of the right approach to gambling and one of them in terms of putting a very small amount of budget, one of the benefits is to minimize the number of defeats and also minimize your emotions when the results lose, I understand that with a small amount the chances of winning are also small as you mentioned, but this is gambling as I mentioned above that all the final results cannot be known and therefore it is really very advisable to put a small amount that will not make you emotional when you finally lose at the end of the session. On the other hand the gamblers who end up getting addicted are the ones who can't accept losing and it makes them emotional, you might be familiar with how emotions work, most people do things out of control without considering it first and this is gambling where you have to allocate money if you want to be involved and it means it's very possible for you to put a much bigger amount for the satisfaction of having uncontrollable emotions that drive you to do such things, this is the reason why addicts like to lose bigger amounts.

The chances of winning are the same, but if your stake is small you need to win with the multiplier like 100x to feel something. From my experience I can tell that actually it's not so rare as it might seem, but of course winning with 100x+ isn't happening that often. In my gambling career I won with 1,000x+ multiplier couple of times. That's a feeling, I can tell you that. Smiley

I think each type of gambling has its pros and cons. Depending on each person's preferences, they will choose to play outside or play online at home. Maybe crowded and cramped spaces will make us more susceptible to infectious diseases, but I think we don't need to worry too much about those things, because we can get infected anywhere, unless we just stay indoors. This is the case where you clearly know his illness, but suppose you go to a restaurant or a shopping center, there are thousands of people there and there will probably be someone near you who has the illness that you don't know, right?
Personally, I still prefer the experience of gambling with people around me rather than playing online. Being able to compete directly between people, along with discussing and chatting together while playing cards is a very interesting feeling, online gambling can hardly give us those things.

It heavily depends on the area you are visiting your favourite land-based casinos in. You say you like chatting with people around? Lucky you! It means they are good people to spend time with. Not all areas are like that.

And normally there are chat boxes in online casinos where you can chat with people too. I personally enjoy chatting in poker rooms, and I wouldn't say those the only places I chat with gamblers. Dice lovers are pretty nice to chat with too.

The BTC price has looked so bullish in the last few days, and it seems that the $50k level can be easily broken soon. So I also think that the range of $50k to $55k, as well as the range of $55k to $60k, looks tempting to place a bet even though there is still quite a lot of time before the end of the month.

Now that we have arrived in the range $50k to $55k already, the only interesting (and realistic) region that's left is "$55,001 - $60,000"



Remember when I made my post, the multiplier for the "$50,001 - $55,000" range was 15.10? Well, that's not the case anymore. I think I will get something extra due to the Time Weight Multiplier if we'll end up in that range, but it won't be anything even close to 15x.

Again I had a wonderful experience playing slots on Bitcasino.

First I played Chaos Crew a bit. Why this slot? Because I like this kind of images



Reminds me of the Spider Punk from Across the Spider-Verse



I can't help but I simply love the guy! And Chaos Crew gave me some pretty nice wins. Look:



And then I found Feel the Beat, also by Hacksaw Gaming, and had a bit of fun with it too



And, of course, my all-time favourite, Bitcasino Billion



couldn't leave me with nothing. Smiley

If you like playing slots, the Stake vs Eddie is a better promotion than slot forum challenge (non-VIP).
Why I say better, because the minimum bet is lower $0.1 only while the slot forum challenge is $0.2.
Of course in order to get the reward, we should be beat the chosen multiplier (mostly above 600x) but it is basically the same situation with the forum challenge where you need to be on top 20 to get bigger reward.
Here is the reward for the latest Stake vs Eddie challenge:

The reward from the previous one was around $80+, so basically it is better because the reward is bigger than the slot forum challenge with 50% smaller minimum bet.
You should consider to participate on it IMO but if you are not interested then it is good for others because the less players hit the minimum multiplier = the bigger reward we may get LOL.

Thanks for the info! You know, I'm intrigued. For me the opportunity to bet $0.1 in stead of $0.2 is very important. because I'm always trying to bet with the smallest amount possible. Right now there's no ongoing Stake vs Eddie promos, but when it's on I will try my luck there. Thank you!

No matter what you do you will never be able to increase the winning percentage to a more "likely" one because the casino has everything organized behind the scenes, and that means you will only be able to win when you are really lucky, or your winnings depend on how lucky you are at the time of the session if you are involved in a purely lucky type of betting.

I agree with almost everything you say, but, please, don't  say "behind the scenes". It creates an impression that gambling sites are doing something shady, while in fact they don't even need to be dishonest to make their profits. They provide services and take a fee in the form of the house edge, and they doing it openly; no need for cheating, actually.

It's worth noting that some people become overconfident even after the continuous losing
Are you gambling at all? How can a gambler be losing and be getting overconfidence for his or her losses? That is not possible. What can come the mind of the person is to use martingale strategy to recover his or her losses, but the more you lose the more you increase the amount of money that you are using to bet and that will make the person to be afraid but looking forward to win just one and win in profit.

That's how: if you toss a coin and you had 10 tails in a row and they were losing bets, you are confident that heads is going your way. It can't be all tails all the time, right? But the reality is, you can get another 10 tails and lose all your balance. It's good if your balance is not something painful for you to lose, you can forget it and move on. But if it's a big amount, you are in trouble. Martingale strategy is something to be avoided for sure in these situations.
579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You will do in this situation? on: February 13, 2024, 11:38:16 AM
Both are fun and both are gambling. But each of them offers a different kind of experience and entertainment. I think some people are gambling for the sake of having something to do, to spend idle time. Sports betting does not offer this kind of thing. In sports betting all you have to do is place the bet and that's all. Everything's finished in seconds. Slots and other casino games can offer more than that. There are times when you have a lot of vacant time and you don't know what to do, you're bored, and you want to have fun. Playing slots is one good option in times like that.

No. it's not necessarily so. You can follow the game after it has started. Then, if your favourite team is losing the odds will go up compared to what was before the game. And if you are confident that your team will win in the end you a bet on the live match with good odds and enjoy a good multiplier in the case of winning.

oh, yes
this is where luck comes in the equation
it's not only about skill, math and logics
all the odds are stacked against the gambler and in favor of the house

good point Betwrong
sometimes there's no way to bet right.


Thank you! Yes, skill, math and logic won't help you to win in dice, but if you think of it, the odds are not that much in favor of the house, if we are talking this particular game. On most gambling sites the house edge of the dice game is only 1% and although it's true that the odds are still against you, it's not like it's impossible to win, you know. And even with slots that have 4%-5% house edge your win is possible.

But that's not to make gambling addicts out of regular gamblers. Gamble responsibly, guys. Have fun, don't try to make money even though the chance of that isn't that small.
