Between that small fish, there will be the whales but the casino owner will not know who is the whales on his casino. When the casino owner can have thousands of members, that doesn't mean all members will be small fish. The percentage of the whales on that casino will not be too many but that is worth it if they still give them comfortable playing many games and give the best services to them.

The casino owner will likely have more members, no matter if they are small fish or whales because if the casino owner can give the best services, sooner or later, the whales will show up to them and play using the big money that was already before.

But what the casino wants is addicted people to gambling who will gamble on their site day by day and of course, they will use so much money to gamble. These members will enjoy on that site and playing many games and if there are new games, they will play longer than the other, especially if they like the games.

The reason gambling sites do promotions as attractive as possible and provide the best service, this is done to attract the attention of  many people.
So that many people come to play, gambling site owners sometimes spend quite a lot of money on promotion costs. It was done to attract
whales, because as you said from many people who join gambling sites, there must be some whales that will join in as well. The problem is  
that it is not easy to detect the presence of whales, unless the whales are comfortable playing on the gambling site and finally make a very large
deposit. It would be even better if eventually there were whales who were addicted and spent a lot of money on the gambling site.

This is why many gambling site owners do various ways to make their platforms popular, and provide the best service to its users. That is to
make gamblers comfortable and not think about moving to other gambling sites, especially if the gambling site manages to get whales on their
platform, it is a jackpot for gambling site owners.
Even if the casino owner uses a lot of money on promotion costs, that is still worth it to do as that will work to attract many gamblers to playing gambling on their site, especially if they can do the right promotion. Whether that promotion can attract the whales to join with them or it will need more time to get their attention, the casino will not think much about that because once they can get many new gamblers playing gambling, the whales can get inside on that. Still, they will not reveal themselves before the whales feel confident playing gambling on that site.

The gamblers search for the comfortable thing in the casino and the casino did really know about that and trying to give the best services to all of their members. Sooner or later, the casino will start to profit from that gamblers, and if somehow, the gamblers use a lot of money, the casino will take care of them and give them more services because they are the assets for the casino.

How can you not win if you don't have the desire. In psychological knowledge, if someone does something, then it is based on a strong impulse in him that flows to the brain and is responded to by action, then executed in real on the basis of the desire in the heart. You don't necessarily move without a command from the heart, which is responded by the brain and is done by the hands.

Unless you are sick, I will give an example: even though the heart desires to gamble, the brain responds but because there is one part of the body that is not normal/sick, then based on medical knowledge you are 100% forcing what is not allowed by the body part.

Therefore, I say it is all relatively broad in the realm of gambling. As long as everything can be controlled under normal circumstances and supported with all the potential that exists, without thinking you are the winner.
Let me give an example. You have the desire (a very big willingness and passion) to get work in the office. You send applications to many offices but none of the offices give you the chance to work with them. Is the desire help you to have a job? No, right? That will depend on the office (in this matter, it will depend on luck). But someday, you can have "luck" by being accepted in one office as what you want.

If you are sick, your mind is telling you to gamble still but not your heart because if you are sick, your body and heart can not reflect what your mind wants. In this matter, the mind will take part in your body, but your body does not want to do anything except take a rest.

If you can control everything with consciousness and realize that gambling is not the way to make money but enjoy your time by spending your money, you will not have difficulty playing gambling or stopping gambling. A matter of winning or losing will not be a problem for you because you know what gambling is.

Desire is nothing but once we do gamble then this emotion and motive in mind would already be there but its true that it has nothing to do with the winning odds.

Motivation is good but only good into those things which you can assure that would give out good results specially on career taking but not really that good when you are applying this in gambling.

Dont tend to apply this if you dont like to experience huge losses because you are forcing something which doesnt really work.
Yes, desire can trigger our emotions to become bigger and that can make us forgot to control ourselves and once it happens, we will lose the money.

I prefer to use motivation when I work than in gambling because no matter how good the motivation, we still depend on luck and we know that luck will not stay with us every time we gamble. So we need to think that playing gambling is okay but do not too excited.

In the end, we should prevent huge losses from gambling by always manage the money and realize when we should quit gambling.

If the update can bring a new thing for ethereum in lowering the fee, it will make the investors who already move from ethereum back to use ethereum or invest more in ethereum. In this way, that can lift the price to increase because the demand from the investor will be bigger but I do not think that will happen so soon because the investor will see what will happen with the latest update.

The market position will gives ethereum a stronger position to lead the altcoin and still behind bitcoin and maybe BNB will lose the competition for a while until BNB can announce the next update. But ethereum can still defend its position in the market.

upon checking the eth gas tracker today -


it seems the fees are still high, maybe, we will see the reduction of fees later on. but the market is showing very positive movement, not only eth, but btc - as we are above 42k level again. for most of us, this hard fork should lower the fees in eth platform. it may take some time before we see it working.
I think the impact will not happen in a short time as it needs to change slowly. But yes, ethereum gives a positive movement right now, and I think the price will be back to $3,000 as the price now is at $2,900. So it needs $100 more to reach $3,000, which could reach on this day or tomorrow.

Bitcoin shows positive movements as now the price can break $43,000, which can still rise to $44,000. Hopefully, this month can bring new hope for us to see crypto can grow again.
5704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge Coins? on: August 07, 2021, 03:21:17 AM
In my humble opinion doge coin will not go up just like what happened before without the help of Elon Musk. And I believe Elon is the secret founder of the following coins: SHIBAINU, & BABYDOGE. Look at their price now!
It won't anymore.

We only saw it pumping because of Elon Musk so without his help, there's no more pump that shall happen to Dogecoin unless another famous person starts to shill it again.

I think Mark Cuban did it but he's not that effective just as Elon.
Yes, maybe next in the future, but that will be the same as before, so the price can get higher. But the price is hard to increase back as before and maybe there will be a time for Dogecoin to lowering the price and stay at that price.

Elon made Dogecoin increase so high and amazed many people but he will hard to do the same thing again with Dogecoin. Maybe his next target will be Shiba but that will not be easy to lift the Shiba like a Dogecoin.
Doge will be having its downfall since it's just hyped made when it has pumped.

I don't think that he can still do this on Shiba. There will be the effect but it's not as big as before with dogecoin. But well, he can do it anyway with any coin that he wants.

It's that most people are now aware of this trick.
Indeed. It is because that is what happens in the past with so many other coins.

Maybe the guy or group who will pump Shiba is not Elon but the other people or group because they need the other guy who can replace what Elon did before. People do not believe in Elon and they tend just to wait to see which coin can increase later.

It seems people now follow where the water flows so they can profit from the situation.
5705  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is not getting above $41,000 on: August 07, 2021, 02:32:32 AM
Whoa, calm down for a while. It is not easy to lift the price and break $41,000 but it will increase to that price. I am sure the price will rise to $50,000 and back to $64,000 but we need to be patient. It is better to enjoy the price movement while we can also have a chance to buy low and sell high because bitcoin price will be like that. It is no problem if somehow the price is down to $39,000 because that will be a good time for us to buy back more bitcoin and the price will be back to $40,000.
The funny thing here is that OP has just seen the price movement for only about two or three days and OP has been ranting over it that it's moving slow. Dude, you waited for the price to move from 29k to 40k and I didn't see you OP creating a thread about this. What's special now or are you just so impatient?
I think he is impatiently waiting for the market moves. But suppose he realizes that the market has a positive movement this month. In that case, he will see the price slowly increases because bitcoin now touches $43,000 but I think the correction will come again before the price still increase. The market is now back on the right track and hopefully, the price can sustain from the bad news that might release so it will not drops again.
5706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take for a game to "hook" people on: August 07, 2021, 01:41:03 AM
Maybe that gambling site needs to improve their game, interface, or bonuses, something like that, to attract more customers. I guess that will work to get more attention from them so the number of visitors on their site can grow. Yes, I admitted that every gambling site wants to get as many members as possible because that will make them make much profit and grow to be the top of gambling sites among the other sites. But that needs time and constantly update their site to gain that thing.
I think it is not just about being crowded, I rather have 10 whales gambling on my website than a million small fish. Obviously the more people you have on your casino that means there is a good chance that you could end up with a lot more chance to get whales as well.

However since we do not have any sort of method to only get whales, people (casino owners) usually focus on getting as many as possible with hopes that many whales will come that way as well. Once again, this is not because they want a million people, sure that is a good thing as well but if none of them are whales then it is not a good thing, only good if you are brand new casino.

A place like stake for example do not need a thousand new gamblers who will not gamble even 10k a month, they would rather have a guy who bets 10k per bet, this is a fact and I am sure of it (did marketing for 2 casinos in my life). So, the "hook" is basically stuff that attracts whale customers.
Between that small fish, there will be the whales but the casino owner will not know who is the whales on his casino. When the casino owner can have thousands of members, that doesn't mean all members will be small fish. The percentage of the whales on that casino will not be too many but that is worth it if they still give them comfortable playing many games and give the best services to them.

These members will enjoy on that site and playing many games and if there are new games, they will play longer than the other, especially if they like the games.
5707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will physical casinos accept crypto someday? on: August 06, 2021, 03:05:30 PM
I haven't see or know any physical casino that accept crypto as one of their payment but I do see some fiat only casinos that started to adopt cryptocurrency as one of the payment they have. You can see some of the casino in this forum where they created their ann thread and some people said they didn't know the site because it is a fiat casino that just accepted crypto as one of their payment.
Maybe not now but that could happen in the future, especially if the government allow people to use crypto in their country. That can attract offline casinos to start integrating their system using blockchain and they will introduce to their members that at that time, they accept crypto be used for gamble. The online casino will be the earlier to adopt crypto to their casino because they are aware of it happening on the internet, so they do not want to be late to take advantage of using crypto.
5708  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do any casinos offer cryptocurrency staking? on: August 06, 2021, 02:30:59 PM
You can stake your bitcoins at freebitco.in.

Any amount bigger than 30k sats gets paid daily from the annual rate of %4


Why would anybody be happy with an annual rate of 4% when practically every DeFi platform pays far more... even non-custodial ones.

I understand investing in casino bankroll is a good way to diversify your investment portfolios, but at least go for more than 4%.

Seems like some technical wizardry should allow people to bet their tokens while they're staked if the casino were to allow it. It could simply divide the wallet into two pools: staked and unstaked, ensuring people can only wager against either of these bankrolls.

Would like to see if any casino owner can chime in on why this hasn't been done yet.

I think no one keeps their bitcoin on freebitco  for staking and getting the 4 percent annual profit. It's just a bonus which people get by having the amount in freebitco wallet. This also discourages people to withdraw the gambling profits as people get some Satoshi added in their wallet on daily basis.
Unless they do not mind using a small amount of bitcoin and let it for more than a year. But still, people can try to use freebitco.in to invest as freebitco.in is a trusty gambling site that operated for a long time ago.

But I feel it is not right to stake the coin at the web-base as the site can disappear anytime without knowing. That is the only risk that we should know before we stake or invest any coins.
5709  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: once again the market is trying to break the resistance on: August 06, 2021, 02:00:33 PM
I think it's happening, and I hope we have a very happy week with the markets. The new trend of playtoearn is stimulating many new and returning people to the market. I think if there are no surprises, bitcoin will be somewhere between $40k-45k and all altcoins will go up with it.

I also hope that will happens and I'm sure there will be another bull run in the near future, so all cryptocurrency will increase very high again and create a new ATH price, so before that happens, then this is still the right time to invest in cryptocurrency, because you will definitely get a big profit from investing in cryptocurrency at this time if the next bull run occurs.
When the bitcoin price can be at $45k, that will give the altcoins a chance to increase because the altcoin will not want to be late to lift the price. We still have time for this year and who knows, we will get another surprise from bitcoin and many altcoins to give us the chance to make a big profit. But we also need to prepare for the worst scenario that can come to the market because we do not know what will happen later. I believe that the new ATH will come again to the market. However, you need to have more patience to wait for that time.

5711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this another Ethereum season on: August 06, 2021, 01:01:36 PM
I believe, this year Bitcoin stopped at $45K, not at $42K.
When you create this thread the price of Ethereum is $2,580, so when I respond to this thread, the price of ETH is $2,771.
From the development of the market, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum, I believe this is the time for Ethereum to prove itself as a top coin that is difficult for other coins to match.
The price seems slow to increase to the high price because right now, the price is at $2,768, which does not increase too high than your price. But we need to be careful because we do not know if the correction will come to ETH in the next hours and make the price down for a while. I see the red candle comes to the market in the daily time frame after the green candle appears for some time. But hopefully, the price will not get down or making a correction instead of still trying to increase more.

whether it's easy or not is relative if we have a strong desire to win by any means the motivation comes when we are in a state of urgency. Some arise because of a need that you must fulfill.
There was even someone who said, luck could be created when opportunity met ability, ability could be honed and opportunity could be sought, so luck could basically be created.
But I do not think that the desire will help us win in gambling games because we know that luck will be part of that to win the games. A strong desire can not always fill what we want and we need to realize that when we are playing gambling, we can only play without a hard feeling because that can make us become stress. Yes, you are right in saying that luck could be created when opportunity met ability but not in gambling. However, you need to think about how much money you will use before recovering or winning big money.
5715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man lost £20,000 in one night after becoming addicted to online gambling! on: August 06, 2021, 11:01:33 AM
you wont realize it if you start small and gradually increase or deposit more because what your only thinking is how can you recover your previous losses but if you start with a huge amount its impossible to not notice it but some people are not business minded  .
they dont like to commit a hard work or dont like to wait for the result but they only gamble because they think it was more easier and faster .
If they do not like hard work and only expect to make money from gambling, they only dream about that because all of us need to work hard to achieve what we want. But playing gambling for making money will not be a solution for them even if they add more money to tried to recover their losses. But I do not deny that some people can recover their losses, even winning a lot of money from gambling. But not many of them will have big luck in gambling.

Don't think so, I am pretty sure that someone who gambles are sober enough to know that the money that they spend on gambling is pretty big and they know that what they're doing is right. If you have the money to lose that much amount, I think it's pretty alright for them to spend it plus it's not like those people who spend money on gambling is always poor.
I guess they will think that what they did is right because they do not ask about the other opinion how if they do that. But if they try to ask others, they will see that what they did is wrong and they will only lose that money. Yes, they are sober about playing gambling, but their minds seem closed by the passion for winning much money. That is why we might see other people lose some big money from gambling without getting a chance to recover.

There are lot of other useful things we can do with what we are spending in gambling but while gambling you will ever realize this fact which is the reason why you are spending all your hard earned money in gambling in quicker manner. I am sure this kind of lessons have been shared in this community for more than one hundred times still people are committing same kind of mistakes again and again which means people will never learn anything out of this forum but each and everyone coming up with their own lessons for others and that too after losing big bankroll.
I think they already learned much from these stories, but that does not make them always realize what they did in gambling. So that makes them continue playing gambling and pretend that someday, that will be their time to win much money. It is worth keeping our hard earned money for our life instead of using it for playing gambling, which does not guarantee us to win the money. We really need to take care of our money and if somehow we want to play gambling, we must remember knowing how much money we want to spend.
5716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take for a game to "hook" people on: August 06, 2021, 10:36:16 AM
For me first of all is the gameplay, if you enjoy the gameplay of course there's no way you would be hooked for that particular game just like bomb sweeper like game, I don't know but I do like that game for unknown reason, probably because there's thrill and you are the one to choose your destiny? The next one of course is the prize, the higher the prize the more people will be hooked for that game and lastly promotion, this is the powerful one I think. Who doesn't like promotion? but of course with low wagering requirement.
Enjoying the games will be one thing that can hook gamblers back to the casino more often than they can realize. It feels like when we play games or do something too often, and if we do not do that, something is gone from us. Yes, the thrill will be there inside the games and that makes us always curious about the games and finally, in the long run, that can make us addicted to that games. If the casino can update many times and always try to be the best casino, that will hook people to stay at that site since they find a new thing that they do not get from the other site.
Games offered and bonuses will be the primary things that will hook up players and make them stay to play on the site or gambling place.This is something which is hard to attain

considering that gambling industry does have fierce competition and it is something that gambling owners should really think off the best way for them to retain their players

and would able to make revenue on longer runs or duration. Games should be catchy and same goes with the design too.
Maybe that gambling site needs to improve their game, interface, or bonuses, something like that, to attract more customers. I guess that will work to get more attention from them so the number of visitors on their site can grow. Yes, I admitted that every gambling site wants to get as many members as possible because that will make them make much profit and grow to be the top of gambling sites among the other sites. But that needs time and constantly update their site to gain that thing.
5717  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should you own at least one Bitcoin? on: August 05, 2021, 02:06:26 PM
I think no one will force us to have at least one bitcoin because that will be up to us. If we prefer to have one bitcoin, we will try to have that amount, no matter how we can do that. If you believe that the bitcoin price will increase more than just $100,000 in the future or reach the fantastic price that we can not imagine, you should try to accumulate more bitcoin from now on before the price starts increasing. Besides that, having bitcoin or not will depend upon us and that is our option.
5718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Increasing acceptance level - Cryptocurrency on: August 05, 2021, 01:33:01 PM
That's nice, it looks like it just really needs some time before people will be able to accept cryptocurrency and also this might be a good advertising as well, some people who are not familiar with cryptocurrency would be able to get curious and probably do their own research on what cryptocurrency is. Let's hope that more and more people would be able to accept cryptocurrency as a mode of payment.
Totally agree, if everything goes the way it is right now for cryptocurrency, then time will be on our side but the only problem that we have to solve is that we have to continuously improve the network for the biggest cryptocurrency in the market because if it can't keep up with the demand, we only see new people not being impressed with it because of how slow it is.
It says clearly in the photo that he accepts crypto. That means his customer can pay anything inside crypto and not just pay using bitcoin. People aware of crypto will try to use bitcoin or other coins to see which one has a fast confirming transaction if the bitcoin network is busy or which coin does not need to pay a high fee. If that can become popular among the other services, people will start to adopt crypto and use it for other payment systems besides fiat money.
5719  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Platform Is Good For Price Speculation and Prediction? on: August 05, 2021, 01:09:28 PM
I could only refer you to learn more about trading because the market is not easy to predict, even with AI. The platform you know could only give speculation where the price will go but that will be 100% accurate to know where the price will go. But if you only want to make a profit, I think you do not have to search for the other platform instead, use your skills to buy low and sell high. That will work in the short or long term and you do not need to pay for that services and will not get scam by the platforms.
5720  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: you are interested low market cap coins that ? on: August 05, 2021, 12:43:29 PM
The coins with low market cap are mostly new coins, below 50M market cap, in fact this is my investment preference.  If you find it is undervalued compared to the potential and actual growth, sustainability of the product.  You get, first, they're all very cheap.  Second, it has not developed the final products,... These are the gems, if determined correctly you will have a great chance to reach x50-100x.
But that will look like we select the project without having a history before and that can be a gamble for us because their project might not succeed in the future. Many new investors do that and choose to invest in a new project. Even they did that before the project launches their token in the market. Maybe he needs to select carefully if he still wants to invest in a low market cap. Still, we can suggest that he choose the project with a good history before because that project can have a chance to repeat their success in the future, especially if their team can still manage the project.
