I wonder what would be a 5 year old kid bet, 3 candies and a lollypop? 

You can start gambling when you are ready to realise what and how much you can lose. Some people understand that at the age of 5, someone dont understand that at the age of 55. There should be no age restriction, but person should understand all the consequences.

You already clarified that there are classifications in gambling.



Decent gamblers - Playing with limitations and self control


Occasional Gamblers - Plays only to have fun and to Kill boredom


Addicted Gamblers - Plays continuously without any care for future but only needs to win and justify His addiction.

so Yeah it can be a Bad reputation or Not depends in which you are from those 3.

I doubt we can ever come back to normal life style again. The virus will be gone by that time but precautions will become a mandatory part of our life. Some of the major changes will be that people will never shake hands and social distancing will be practiced and will be considered a good habit. Another major thought will be that people can work form home (as it would have been tested successful for 2- 3 months) and hence a lot of costs could be save for office rents and travel to office costs etc. The world will be different before and after covid-19.  

That could be a good basis if we have to define a being a responsible gambler. You have limits, budget and time wise. So it's not just about the capital you're going to spend, but you also need to understand that time is only one element that you need to consider when you're a gambler.

If you can't control your money and all you have to do is to play and spend more time on gambling platforms whether it's online or physical casinos then you can be categorically call gambling addicts.

Now this is again a problem: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/covid-effect-icc-member-boards-running-serious-risk-of-financial-bankruptcy/articleshow/75207196.cms

Their investments are all stuck and all predict that this year there won't be any matches played. This business is so risky? No cricket for a year and they can go bankrupt?

I saw a gambling platform that has raised funds for helping the medical care front liner in the US.
I always impressed those big companies who are willing to help any frontline people because I am one of them and I know that protecting gears is very important to them.



And the gambling platform fundraiser said,


We all know that they are the oldest crypto gambling that until now has been existed, I think this is the time to share their profit.
What do you think, a fully established gambling platform like this should need to help and share their revenue to the victim of COVID-19?
Let us discuss below, probably if there is another gambling platform owner who has a kind of heart and helping people.
Nevertheless, let us know other's opinion.

Disclaimer: I am not promoting them, I just want to discuss those gambling platforms who are willing to help those people who are the victim of COVID-19.

The Australian government did an exceptional job and it is one of the handful of countries where the number of actives cases is going down. A month ago, they used to have 400 to 500 new cases per day, and this number has been reduce to 40 to 50 cases now. Those countries which refused to implement lockdown (such as Brazil and Sweden) are now paying dearly for it.

Okay, just now visited the official announcement and highly no chance of playing this year based of cricbuzz statement.And I don't think they will host matches on statiums which are mentioned by other members because they may not get enough audicence to watch and also we don't know that we will control corona in that real soon.

I've been reading the archives of this forum over the past few days for the first posts about Ethereum, Binance, XRP etc.

Many posters calling them scams and shitcoins initially and a number of posters praying for Ethereum to get to $10 so they would become millionaires. I want people to look back at this thread in years to come and highlight the posters that predicted the next huge altcoins and it would also be good to see what people are investing in outside the top 100.

I'll start - NULS.

Maybe the best tech I have come across with an extremely dedicated team and great community. With it's easy to use staking platform, chain factory and Nerve - the decentralised digital asset service network I think this coin will start making moves into the top 20 over the next year. Constantly ranked in the top 10 projects on CCID (China based crypto ranking) it's only a matter of time before this project explodes.

Let me know your dark horses for the next big altcoin..

you're right, we can only reduce it. however, they will continue to try to make new things as real, but that is all a fraud. even some people make the project a scam at the end of the project.

Yes, specifically the coronavirus impact on cryptocurrency is invisible, only in this case everyone is alarmed by the covidand pandemic19, which has inadvertently affected the cryptocurrency market.

I just wonder about freebitco.in's business model.

I started using them as a faucet (at that time I was not aware of what is dicing nor hi-lo games) but I have been a daily visitor of them for obvious reasons like some free satoshi and affilaite income.

Purpose of this topic :
It may trigger some ideas to business people who are right now hunting for concepts for their upcoming gambling business.

The unique cases of freebitco.in :
1. They are not showing any clickbait advertiements even they make us to visit them every hour.
2. I guess only gambling house which allows its users to withdraw without playing a single roll and without any deposits.
3. Other houses started adding options to play even with stablecoins after altcoins but they are sticking with ONLY bitcoins.
4. Afflicate program applicable even with faucet claiming.
5. Lots of other rewards like daily interests for the balances and redeemable reward points.

Their statistics are showing like so far they have paid out (or won by users) 208,000+ number of bitcoins which makes me think about like, is this house owned by Mr. Satoshi Nakamotto for the reason for spreading awareness on bitcoins (which is the basic functionality of faucets)?

I don't know what Trotting, I just read it above and in terms of marble, I never thought it would be that mainstream this lockdown.

Been seeing a lot of streams playing marbles and I even saw a Facebook video in the past shoutcasting a marble tournament in a track or obstacle he just made. I also watched a tournament in 2018 in Southern England about a Marble Tournament and I don't even think that people would bet on it, I mean people are just that bored I think.

No need to feel bad about the terminology. That is a standard one. The match was abandoned due to crowd disturbance and Sri Lanka was declared as the winners, since they were ahead as per the Duckworth/Lewis rule. Back then, it used to be very difficult to control the crowd. After a few such incidents, the BCCI ordered the construction of barricades around the stands, and these sort of incidents never got repeated.

I know people who are day traders and they are living for that but it's the other way around and not in crypto. The comparison of day trading and gambling isn't vague and odd. There's really similarity for both ends but they are entirely unique on their own ways of making strategy.
How you will win your bets and same goes by for your trades.

The logic is just the same with gambling and that's why you see gamblers taking back their losses and gamble again.

If you have got the bankroll to handle it, and are not aversed to losing large amounts before recouping your money, then the Martingale strategy should eventually return players to parity.

It's easy to determine a photoshopped id, try to zoom in and check if the pixels are unusual, which means it's being warped or something edited on it. Valid ID always has patterns, some are government logos printed, and watermarks so you can check if it's symmetrical or not. But agree that KYC isn't a biggie unless you've made a scene on a casino house.
