It would be helpfull if you can post some parts of your converstaion (maybe some screenshots)

In the end if the owner of the site made a mistake (do you have any proof - again screenshot would be great) you can just ask for your money back.

I would try to keep contacting the support, if you don't get any satisfying reply it might be worth to send a real letter to their company.

Make sure to store every information.

I think time spent playing a betting game (even the free ones) should at least be proportional to the value or benefit derived from playing the game. Bettors need to factor in time and not just money in their betting activities. Time well spent on things is important in most cases.

But it's free, No company can just offer free money for a long period of time without any return. If you would give every gambler benefits for their time spent playing your free game, the casino would just go bust. It's all about having a lot of people invest their time and eventually real money, for a few lucky guys to receive a prize.

In the end if the people would just work on an hourly salary everyone (except for the winner) would be better off monetarily.

I think it is possible for China to become the next superpower. If you look at human history all empires rise, peak and then fall. Look at the Roman Empire, Dutch Empire, British, etc. No Empire can last forever. Me living in the USA I can see how everything is falling apart.

I agree but at the moment the Chinese military is no match for the USA. It will still take a long time for china to surpass the west. The trade wars will likely continue and intensify. Don't forget China is being build on the back of their own population offering products to the west.

I don't think the West will just follow China in their communistic dictatorship approach to run a country. Eventually the chinese people will demand more rights. I would assume we will see an alignment of China with the west in the long run. You can't controll your population for ever with increasing technology.

It's almost 6 months since the coronavirus took its toll on every aspect of human lives. it has been accompanied by widescale job loss, a rise in the unemployment rate, a reduced standard of living, and intense hardship. From the economic perspective, what will be the fate of the global economic situation and normal day to day business if this pandemic doesn't go away by the end of this year?

Unfortuanelty the chances of corona still being around next year are not so small. COVID 19 infected the hole world with million of cases everywhere. There is not one circle of corona around the world, but different states in different countries. Like NZ already being corona free or European countries already containing the virus and reopening the country. But in South America or India for example the numbers are still rising.
Once international travels become normal again a potential spread of corona could happen very fast again. Especially if there will be new variants of covid, smiliar to the flu.

Then, would it be best if they have just visit some fancy aquariums? (a certain place where you can find good quality whores) There are also some certain clubs that has VIP Rooms and they can do what they want especially gambling.
That would be the best choice if that was the aim rather than a casino LoL
That will be a side effect if they visit someplace which have a fancy aquarium lol Grin
But I am sure that the luxurious casino will have that room, and not all members can use those rooms unless they are a VIP or VVIP member who always spends a lot of money on playing gambling on that casino. Although they have those rooms, they still need to check every VIP or VVIP members and all of the employees who will enter that room, so all of them are clean from the virus.


As always the big wales will be playing seperatelty from the peasants  Cheesy Own private rooms, private dealers, better food and drinks, etc.

But you can't be a 100% that a employee is not carrying the virus. You would have to test that person everyday and still then its not guaranteed. I think the security especially for the high rollers will be very good.

5926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: June 24, 2020, 05:31:54 AM
If someone is keep winning more bets then casinos will intentionally ban them from playing there, this is biggest untold truth behind every successful casino.They offer lot of free perks for you to enjoy and make you guilty about not spending enough money.
I don't think that casino's will ban someone unless they are caught cheating or suspecting that they are cheating. Of course if you keep on winning, alarms will be raised and you will be put under the microscope. If didn't find anything suspicious then you are good, but we all know that  luck doesn't last. Sooner or later, the house edge will caught up on you.


If you play every day in casino and go home every night with some winnings, the casino security will definitely notice after a while. Security will first of all monitor and keep an eye on you if you are cheating or use any other other tricks like card counting before baning outright people from their casino.
And if you are just winning randomly big time on the roulette table there won't be any security coming to escort you out of the casino. Most of the times people who win big in casinos will gamble most of it away afterwards.
5927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING on: June 23, 2020, 06:27:47 AM
This means that there was something wrong with the preparation for the return of sports matches due to the fact that there was a player who was confirmed to be in the coronavirus. And in that case, sports events can be stopped again and the rest of the league will be lit. Maybe they are too excite and rush so there are missed processes and not all are safe.

The best would be to put all the athletes with their families and teams into one isolated city where no one is allowed to enter or leave. Then there would be no risk of corona virus getting in or out. Also the players wouldn't need to travel and fly anymore as everyone is in one place already. You would only need playing fields as there won't be any visitors except the camera crews. Every new person wanting to come into that city would need to be on a 2 week quarantine to ensure safety.

I think it's hard to judge the hole economy just after a few months. We should wait a few more months to actually look at the economy numbers.People still have money in their pockets and the governments are print more of it to inject into the economy.
Due to corona every big investment is kind of on hold until the we are having better outlooks for the future. Home sellers are waiting instead of selling at a discount at the moment. Car buyers are waiting too for better prices or just an up tick in employment again.
I believe for most people cash is king at the moment. Investments will pick up again.

Trump is quietly calling some troops home... 9500 from German NATO.

Cool

I thought they were going into Poland now.

Time for Germany to step up their own military expenditures again?
5930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Poker Odds Calculator is a Perfect Tool for Poker? on: June 23, 2020, 06:11:42 AM
This seems like a great tool for beginners to get better in poker. But once you play for a while you will be familiar with your calling and betting ranges. Eventually you know by heart from which positions you can play which cards.

To find any mistakes in your game it should be a good tool. In the end having a slightly higher winning rate might be nice, but if you can play 2 more tables at the same time with a little bit lower winnings but therefore more winnings. It's better to increase your numbers of tables you can play at once.

Don't forget there is a huge variance in poker involved. It might takes thousands of hands to actually see your higher winning rates.
5931  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin vs. Cash Inflation — A discussion on which is better on: June 22, 2020, 07:08:37 AM
Fiat and cryptocurrencies complement each other. One cannot do what the other can. The combination of fiat and crypt in our life can help to achieve better results than it would be if you chose only one side. Cryptocurrency has adopted a lot from fiat, but fiat has now begun to connect to this race. So you can use traditional cryptocurrency tools now. For example, a bank card with the ability to exchange for cryptocurrency. I am using gekkard now. We must use these bridges between the two worlds of finance!

I agree, a country without any FIAT currency will be having a very hard time during crisis when it's only relying on crypto currencies. Controlling the money supply is the standard tool for central banks for decades to fight financial crisis. Without a tool like that the countries might experience much stronger financial crisis than before.

Also we still have many old people without knowledge of crypto currencies and many people are lacking access to the internet. It will still take generations to get mankind ready to swtich to crypto currencies alone.
5932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker games that are providing free plays to earn real money on: June 21, 2020, 06:27:46 PM
its not really fun, if you play in the freeroll tournament, some retard will call your 4BB with 67 45 32 or another worse hand, and guess what.
they win in that round Smiley, so if you want win in freeroll tournament you should play like retard too, i mean you should play shit card sometime.

I agree, freeroll tournament are not really like playing a normal poker tournament. As soon as you have a decent hand AX, KX or any connectors you will just push all in. Either take blinds or hope for a good coin flip. It's all about building an big stack in the beginning. And if you stick to your normal calling range you will just get frustrated.
5933  Economy / Economics / Re: Lives vs Economy -- sad truth on: June 21, 2020, 03:41:46 PM
Unfortanetly the oldest and poorest part of the population is hit the hardest with corona. And now with most countries starting their economies again, the death numbers will probably rise again.

Just look at Sweden, they never really managed to impose a lock down and have much higher fatality rates than the other nordic countries. Which most of their deaths being from the retired population. We should be taking better care of the older people than this. 
5934  Economy / Economics / Re: world war 3 is coming ...do to coronavirus / economy ... on: June 21, 2020, 08:42:19 AM
If USA has riots and Trump is president ...and if i was Putin i would call my best buddy Xi Jinping  and tell him to prepare the army and get ready for invasion...  

Putin: - Xi it's time to visit America !

In the current conditions, I think Russia is a close friend of America, as evidenced by Putin's and Trump's agreement to stem the strengthening of the communist movement in the US. Trump asked for Russian help and Russia accepted the invitation of course with the privilege given by Trump to Russia regarding gas prices.

Racist issues and tensions that occur in the US were ridden by China through its proxy in Venezuela to be more soothing to break Trump's concentration. Trump currently has 3 main issues namely the pandemic, racist and Chinese issues. To win the second round, winning from China is the key. So Trump really concentrated starting from the possibility of restructuring at the pentagon to summon presidential advisors in the Reagent era.

If Trump is seen as megalomania, I think that at this time Trump is jealous of Putin and Xi Jing Ping who can perpetuate his rule for life. So Trump's goal is not just for the second period but to build the Trump dynasty. By perpetuating power, Trump's wealth will also increase and last forever.

But what will happend if the Democrats are winning the election. Then everything would be changed back to Obama levels maybe. I don't think the Democratic party, which attacked Trump many times for his close ties to Russia, will continue in the same fashion. Same for the pressure on China. We will likely see a change in the foreign policy of the USA if there will be a new president.

WW3 under the Democrats? Probably not.
5935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel this pressure on physical gambling? on: June 20, 2020, 07:34:21 PM
I don't think anyone will force you to play more in the casino even if it's your friend, he should understand and not force you anymore when you don't play.
if it's like that, I think it's a shame, it's even better if you can control your emotions.
In peers, there's always a pressure or someone will tease you to continue even if you don't want to.

This happens most of the time when you are at the center of your friends and they feel excited whenever they watch you as you go. But you can stop the pressure, things will still depend how you react.

It's been so long since I played last time in a casino. Boring corona times  Cry

I agree thats very different if you go with a group of friends and they are watching you or if you play by yourself. I normally play a bit of roulette or black jack after a poker tournament by myself and don't feel any pressure my strangers just wachting. But when going with friends is all about betting and enjoy your time. The peer pressure makes it hard to take your winnings and cash out. But if you actually manage to win big time, it nice to go for a drink and invite your friends instead of losing again in the long run.

Indeed, there is a tool that can distribute cards under control by the dealer.

There's really no assurance that virus cannot be passed even wit an automatic card dealer machine, there's still always an instance that other players might touch your hands, or the dealer to check it. Unless they have sanitizers nearby that they can use every time to make sure that they always kill the virus. Remember, COVID isn't just transmitted through the mouth, if someone touches their eyes, they can still acquire it.

New Normal betting I think is possible with Slots and games which aren't requiring any physical contact with other person.

The most infections of COVID 19 happens through the air with small liquids. The spreading of corona virus through smear infection is fairly limited. Sanitizers and washing your hands regularly is the key. It's hard to control your body for a long time to touch your face so it's better to make sure your hands are clean of the virus. Also, just you touch something quickly infected by corona doesn't mean you are instantly infected. It seems to be taking a longer period of time. I heard that exposure of atleast 5-10 minutes increases the chance of a succesfull infection dramatically.
5938  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 2020 Democrats on: June 20, 2020, 07:57:54 AM
It's quite surprising to see Bernie Sanders as the favourite in this forum. I believe the Democrats have a good chance of winning this year, but it will be a hard fight and pretty close in the end. Let's see how a possible second wave of corona will affect the election campaigns this year.

It would have much easier for the Democrats if they picked another candidate than Joe Biden.

Is anyone actually betting on the next president?

5939  Economy / Economics / Re: A very positive sign: 39% of companies now have blockchain in production on: June 20, 2020, 06:50:47 AM


I don't click on links that seems untrustworthy to me.Anyway,here are my two cents:
First,I think that this is a fake survey and fake news.39% of all companies in the world is an insane number and it's really hard for me to believe that 39% of all companies have implemented blockchain technology in one way or another.This would simply require an insane amount of qualified blockchain developers,probably hundreds of thousands.
Second,blockchain technology adoption doesn't mean cryptocurrency adoption.We all want the second type of adoption,so the crypto prices would eventually go up.

How is Deloitte an untrustworthy link? It's one of the big 4 accounting firms. I am not scared that they are inclunding malware in their PDF reports.

Thanks for the news, it's always good to see more and more companies to invest in new technology. The growth in crypto currencies will continue as more and more people will use it.

But honestly, I wish the price of Bitcoins would fall again so I could buy more. During the pandemic the bitcoin price didn't really suffer that much. And entry levels to top up your BTC are still high.
5940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tricks and tips for esports betting on: June 20, 2020, 06:40:37 AM
I guess there is no trick in esports betting, you just need to be updated and knowledgeable on Esport you are about to bet. Like for an instance on Dota2. If you are watching some online tournaments it is an advantage because you are already familiar with each team gameplay and performance but Dota2 is a competitive game its patch is updated regularly, so the team will figure out which heroes are good on that particular patch. In short, if you are knowledgeable on a certain Esport you have a good chance to select which teams will win.


Being informed about esports makes sense before betting. But don't forget there is always a huge factors of randomness involved. There is a lot to take into consideration for esport tournaments. For example, are they playing on LAN or Internet. When games are only played on internet like during the corona pandemic factors such as a ping and latency have a huge impact. Having a Dota 2 player being based in North America or Asia, and the rest of the team in Europe creats a lot of problems. 

I would recommend if you have a lot of insights, make some small high risk bets with a lot high payout. Your losses will be limited and you can spread across more bets.
