Didn't know about this, I just assumed that they are all strict since Islam is a strict religion that has been following their Qur'an for a long time, not meaning to offend but being more liberal even though your primary faith is strict is a progressive thing to do.
But if that is about gambling, I think the government will not let gambling allow in their country because that can break their rule. Gambling is haram in their country, but we do not know if their people do not play gambling publicly because that can attract the officer to arrest them. Islam is a strict religion and if there something that is not matched with their Qur'an or Hadist, they will not tolerate it. But we do not know more about that, and maybe we need to wait for the next news from them so we know what happens in that country.
Doesn't matter how strict their religion is, I am sure that there are people in their country that is going to break the rules, one example is how come there are gays in Islam dominated countries even though it warrants death? That's the same for gambling, people will do what they want to do because they have free will of some sort.
Yes, that is right. Not all people can follow their religion without making a mistake. There will be some people who will try to break the rule and try to make money from the "hot money" and hide their activity from the authorities. It will become interested if gambling can be allowed in Dubai because that will make many people from other countries visit that place and play gambling.
6382  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sumo betting seems rigged - can you make profit with it? on: May 19, 2021, 03:21:55 AM
It has been said that Sumo, the Japanese fighting sport is not as clean as it should be. Apparently, in the maximum cathegory - short of a premier league - there is tendency to let win those who need to win in order to remain in that cathegory. This was studied and mentioned later on a book called Freakconomics.

Do you feel that knowing that a sport may be rigged you could actually turn it in your favour?
Japanese is one of the most trusted people in terms of Credibility , I don't know what is that articles motive but Sumo wrestling stands for the whole japanese community and not just for sports world .
so i believe that this wont be rigged as they will stand for what they believe is true.
Japanese is one of the countries who really strict with loyalty and honor, so if the sport is getting rigged by some people or officials and the officer or the authorities found that thing, maybe they will investigate deeper to search who is behind it. They will punish that corrupt official and will not tolerate it. Sumo is their sport and popular in Japan, so we do not know if Sumo is getting rigged or not.

Based on the explanation I got from the doctor who vaccinated me, it can be concluded that complete vaccination can't prevent 100% of virus transmission at all because in reality people who have been vaccinated can also be infected if they do not practice health protocol. Not wearing a mask in a crowd can increase your risk of infection even if you've been vaccinated.

That is not true and one must always stick to health protocol. The fact is that currently, orthopedic specialist who have received complete vaccination are also infected with Covid19, it is evident that virus transmission can still occur even after receiving complete vaccination.
Do we have a list of current available vaccines made out by different companies and showing it efficacy? Im trying to find out to make out some comparison but i failed to do so.
Time would only tell if this kind of method will work and wont really be showing off some negative effects on releasing the protocol.

How i wish that we would really be going back into normal living without hesitation on going out.If this one turns out to be good then this might
be the start of going back to our normal lives but i still hesitating because vaccines arent 100% effective.,
I do not know what companies produce the vaccines because I think many companies are trying to do that to help people. We do not know how high the accuracy or effectiveness of the vaccine to people. I am sure that every company will work hard to ensure that their vaccine will have a high accuracy or effectively reduce the virus's spreads in the infected body's or healthy people.

All people want to have their normal lives back, but we can not do anything except what happened today. But I believe that the situations will end and everything will be back to normal like before with a new situation for all humankind.
6384  Other / Off-topic / Re: Slapping Tournament on: May 19, 2021, 01:51:32 AM
If that is on TikTok, I guess that will be to entertain the audience, and I do not think they will slap with full power. They do that for making money because I heard that they could get money by doing something like dance or other things. But if you watch the video on Youtube, you will see the real slap because the video was made for the tournament.

I doubt that the participants will be able to control the strength of their muscles in this "sport".
In the first rounds, it was okay... but after taking a few slaps the guy becomes vindictive, and I think for women it must be even tenser.
Definitely, this is a sport that deserves respect, in a little while they will invent an "ear tug" as sport... it doesn't exist yet, right!?
I was thinking about the player can getting mad and tenser after getting a few slaps because his pride was down and that player will feel not right getting those slaps. Uh, that will be chaos if a player can not control themselves and know that is just for entertainment. "ear tug"? Maybe, but that is not a game in some country Grin
But let see it later.
6385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ohio offering lottery prize worth one million for those that get the COVID shot on: May 19, 2021, 01:17:34 AM
absolutely not ethical linking a prevention treatment for a deadly disease with a lottery prize.
get an active treatment is not like buying a lottery ticket.
Maybe that is their way to attract people to get vaccinated, as I see that some people do not want to get vaccinated. Maybe they do not realize that they can get protection with the vaccine, although not 100% safe from the virus. If people have interested in the prize, they will go to the health center and get vaccinated and who knows, one of them can win the prizes. But that will depend on whether they want to accept the offers or do not want to get vaccinated.
6386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas on: May 18, 2021, 04:06:05 PM
...

I do feel like there is another reason for you guys to be vaccinated! You can actually experience normal casinos like before pandemic if you do wear the mask and follow the protocols.

There is no guarantee that those who have been vaccinated will not contract Covid 19 again...

not wearing a mask is indeed very comfortable, but we don't know who is the carrier of Covid 19 in the gambling room. keep sticking to health protocols is a wise thing to protect yourself from covid 19.
We still limit our outdoor activity and public because the virus is still out there and we do not know who the carrier is. Even if we are vaccinated, it does not mean we can free to go out because we still need to follow the protocol. If we can stay at home and not go to an offline casino or other public areas, I think that will be safe for us because that can limit our contact with other people. I am afraid that the next wave of Covid-19 will come if we do not follow the health protocol because we already saw what happened in India.
6387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling becomes popular on: May 18, 2021, 03:34:06 PM
Basically online gambling has indeed grown and become popular even before the pandemic and besides that, land-based casino gambling should keep up with the times by having your own online gambling site. Well, but not all online gambling players have a goal to gain profit because most of them are just for fun with their free time. So yes, we shouldn't think badly of someone who gambles online because they have different goals and most importantly as long as they don't harm other people then there is no problem with online gambling.
That is right. In this digital era, if land-based casino gambling does not follow the trend by having a website, they can not grow and expand their business to many countries. By having a website, their chances to get more customers or members from many countries will be possible, and if they can get more members, that means more income to them.

Yes, maybe they only want to have fun while they stay at home. I do not think badly if someone gambles online because that will be their decision. I only hope they can take care of their money.

If you think that people who are choosing online gambling just to make money since they have no money due to lockdown then its wrong!

Most people knows that gambling has risks and millions of people have it as habit like how people used to visit their social media, so those people need to do it some way that is why there is a spike in the lockdown time since they used online to satisfy their urge.
We never know what their reason is to gamble because I am sure they will not tell the truth. Maybe they will say that they want to feel like playing online gambling or maybe they really want to try to make money from online gambling. They can say anything they want because they decide by themselves without telling us.

Online gambling could be a new thing for offline gamblers because that will be a different experience for them while they can not go to the offline casino. Maybe they will moves to online gambling, especially if they only stay at home.

I just watch girl slapping tournemnt on tiktok but not sure her name, its like this the first girl seems like didnt want slap her friend so she just slap it slowly when its turn for her friend she slaps her almost she like fainted and almost fall and her face pretending everything okay and its looks like her jaw a bit moving its funny and terrifying at the same time.
If that is on TikTok, I guess that will be to entertain the audience, and I do not think they will slap with full power. They do that for making money because I heard that they could get money by doing something like dance or other things. But if you watch the video on Youtube, you will see the real slap because the video was made for the tournament.
6389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the motive behind the anti gambling campaign on: May 18, 2021, 01:00:45 PM
Gambling its like habits some people concern it as bad habbits or for some people who are really religous tought gambling also restricted in many religion. but still everybody had different mindset about it as long they only saying it without doing any act against law i think its totally fine.
People should not use gambling as a habit because that can make them in trouble if they do not have control. But we can not blame them because that will make their decision to play gambling and spend much money as we are not responsible for their money. But we can suggest they not stay at the gambling place for such a long time because that can make them play gambling games longer than others.
6390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling becomes popular on: May 18, 2021, 12:10:11 PM
Lot of gambling sites appeared, even casinos opened their own online gambling platforms after knowing the importance of having online customers even though they are making a lot from the land based casino since a virus spread can cause all their business to be closed down for years.Well, people also got bored of watching the Youtube everyday so they enter into the different kind of gambling including fantasy sports, esports, and the traditional gambling.
If people can not filter what they can visit and only visit online gambling, they will not get an experience or knowledge that can be useful for them. They will drag into the deep of gambling games without realizing unless they can move to the other website, which is not related to gambling games. People must realize that they need to find out how they can still make money at this moment. There are a lot of things that people can search from the internet and not just gambling games.
6391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling risks during coronavirus pandemic on: May 18, 2021, 11:07:32 AM
Not doing anything while this pandemic its doesnt mean the gambling its the option for filling time. there is many thing to do such read book . watching movie . planning for project . gambling based on habits and mindset doing something productive in some area for future will change those habits and mindseet .

Yes that's right but not everyone thinks in the same way. While some utilize their time to do productive things the others procrastinate.
So yes there are chances of people gambling too often than they used to and probably get addicted to it.
This is where we have to be aware of what we are doing and OP has done a good job posting this thread.
If people can find what things can make them busy to make money, they will not think about playing gambling because the important thing now is how they can fill their needs in this pandemic and how they can survive. But that will not happen to the gambler who is often playing gambling in the offline casino because they will search for the online casino and try their luck to play any gambling games they know.

Having a positive mindset will make them productive and have a chance to make money besides surviving in this pandemic.
6392  Economy / Gambling / Re: Very immoral marketing strategy. on: May 18, 2021, 09:51:57 AM
The argument they provide is as follow, ''we are entertainers/performers''. This need to be stopped. I am creating this thread to discuss such issues and to warn other new comers about the potential loss. If you have found such streamers please post here so that it can be helpful for new players to make realistic decisions.
Old members should remind new players of this manipulation, many gambling sites popular and new gambling sites are using this strategy it's effective for new players but for old players they know it's not possible and only a gimmick to entice new players to bet more and try their luck in hitting the jackpot, they want all the money that you have, to gamble and try your luck and motivate you that you will end up what you are seeing on Youtube.
gambling is about losing then best to stay away from gambling if you don't wanna lose because ghambling sites will do everything just to lure players and even if they Mislead or fool people at some time.
Even large site or smaller there are some like this happening so lets not be so rattle because in the end of the day? it is our decision that will matters all.
The casino will attract the gambler to come back to their place by giving them interesting offers because they see that way still be the good way to get them back. If you can not control yourself, you will be back to that place without thinking about how much you will lose. Even if the old player always reminds the new player not to play gambling often, that is their decision because that is their money and we do not know what they want to do with their money. Maybe we need to take care of our money while suggesting the new player not playing gambling too often.
6393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the best Sport to bet on ? on: May 18, 2021, 08:45:41 AM
For me personally i prefer to gambling in e-sport games like DOTA . CSGO not only easier to predict based on their record its also you will watch it their game its much fun . for real sport games i would like to choose MMA sports or for soccer game i am only betting for the first goal . the odds quite balance even for match champ team vs normal team.
It's also true what you say friends, we have to bet on the sports we wrestle with, even though we lose we don't feel disappointed, because if we bet on sports that we know, we are likely to lose. succeeded ...
I will only bet on football, because I already know about the sport of football ''
Betting on football needs us to collect much information before we can bet as we need to have many strategies if the situations change in the middle of the game. If we bet on the sports that we know, we will have more chances to win and do not have to feel difficult to select the team or player with a big opportunity to win. But sometimes, we can bet on the other sports that make us curious because of the trend of that sports increase. Maybe that will be fun for us to bet on that sports.
6394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: May 18, 2021, 07:50:59 AM
~
Kyc seems normal nowadays but we need to double check what website we are doing it. Kyc were required now in many countries to provide details if their customer for the business permits in whenever country that casino or exchanges staying, as long as we know that the website or casino is legit and have names to take care eith then having KYC is not really a problem.
Being careful should be a given thing when you are providing a KYC to a website because if you aren't then you will probably be a victim of stolen identity because you aren't careful as to which site you are giving your personal information.
It is better if the website does not need us to fills KYC as we want to keep our documents in our hands. I am sure many casinos will still protect their members' identification by not applying KYC for them because the crypto casino knows that anonymity will be important for people who use crypto. We need to be careful to handle our document and not verify our account or send the document to the suspicious website as we do not know if they can take care of our document or use it for their benefits.
6395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: May 16, 2021, 09:18:56 AM
We have our choice, whether playing gambling on the casino which applies KYC or not and we will have our favorite casino to playing gambling. But for me, I do not want to play on the casino, which applies KYC because that means, I need to verify myself before I can withdraw. I don't need to verify my account as I do not play gambling too often, and I do not use gambling to make money. If you are a high roller and already sent a document to the casino, you need to be careful as the casino can do anything with your document.
6396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the best Sport to bet on ? on: May 16, 2021, 08:10:20 AM
Almost all sports such as golf, wrestling, cricket are used as a betting arena, even some countries and large companies in the world have made sports one of the businesses to get large funds.
So because I love the sport of football, I think this sport is very good to bet on and very much in demand.
I also agree with your opinion, friend, it is undeniable that the most popular sport of football, in Europe and Asia 80% likes football, so in my opinion the best bet is also in soccer, because in soccer there are games. interesting to watch ..
It is no coincidence that football is considered a king sport globally, with relatively high viewership ratings in each country, especially in major tournaments around the world, football really attracts a lot of people who have a passion for sport and of course, a little bit of betting is indispensable in every game, too easy to analyze the teams, enough knowledge will help us to achieve many winnings in betting but also quite a lot of addiction, when their odds are relatively large and in many different variations.
Maybe it is because football popular in almost all countries and many people can play that game in many places. And when the world cup starts, all people's attention will go to that event and they will focus on selecting their favourite team to bet on while searching for the next winner. But betting without proper knowledge and knowing how to analyze the team will not give us a chance to win instead of losing the money.
But there is also Boxing and Basketball specially NBA?

But yes Football and Horse racing is for me the most popular around the world following by Basketball , Boxing , UFC and Tennis .
Yes, boxing and basketball are popular, but I think football is still more popular than boxing and basketball. The event is also coming to many countries and the audience like to watch the event.

Maybe horse racing, UFC, and tennis are popular in some countries. But for UFC, not many television channels show the events. After all, it has brutality by the player.
6397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: May 16, 2021, 06:58:50 AM
I do gamble, I bet on sports but not signature earnings, part of another income source is allocated for that lol. These goes to my shitcoin portfolio, I exchange them on pancakeswap into various baby coins and hodl.
It is good if you have another source of income to be used for playing gambling. But you still need to aware of the limitations of using the money to gamble because we never know when we win and lose. If you can do that, you will not have to worry about losing too big money as you can know when you should quit gambling before you run out of your money. But at this moment, I think it is better if you can stop gambling for a while because I see that some coins in the pancakeswap can increase so you can expect to make a profit from that coins.
The temptation is too high when you have a lot of money to gamble that sometimes we forgot about our limitations. It is very unfortunate turning that way. I have an experience before that I spend my budget for my school's obligation due to gambling addiction. And I was thinking it now, to figure out what certainly be the effect when you can't control your addiction, you can find it how could ruin your life. It is a terrible thing to see and that I realize is very important to control ourselves and stay on the limit. Gambling shouldn't have to take seriously because that could lead to addiction.   
The effect of losing control in gambling is losing the money and I guess we all have that experience before. We can forget the limitations that we set it before because the temptation of playing gambling will be too high. If we still do not realize that we are already losing the money and still playing gambling for more rounds, that will not take too long for us to lose everything, even if we decide to borrow the money because that will be lost. Gambling addiction can ruin our life seriously because we lose money and lose our lives with our families.

This is a proof that every sports either Human is in act or animal will is always prone to cheating and being rigged.

this really ends the games losing fans and trust.

I may choose separate game now, because i al a fan of Horse racing in my college time but since then there are rumors about having not fair in the system.
Yes, but even if the sports getting cheat and being rigged, the audience and the bettor seem not to care because as long as they can enjoy the sports and make money from the betting, they will not complain. They will not stop betting and if they see that the sports are rigged so hard, they will search for the other sports and continue to bet. That will happen to the audience and they will not have a problem finding out the other sports and enjoy the game.
I think he meant the fan audience, not the betting audience. As a former addicted sports fan who spent a lot on match tickets and branded merch, I can confirm that any cheating in a competitive sports competition causes hate from both the opponent fans and the team's own fans as well.
If the sports lose their audience, they will need more work to get their trust to come back to the sports. And if the game getting rigged, they need to clean the mess and show it to the audience, now they are clean and the audience can back to the game and watch the show. When the audience is gone, it will not be easy to rise and give a good performance because the audience is everything to the sports. Without the audience, sports will not be popular.

Though we can't deny that it attracts gamblers interest, there are people who wanted to have the same fate.

Not realizing that it's just part of marketing unavoidable to see that there are people who will lose a lot due to blindly follows those

influencers that they are trusting, part of the plan and it's really important to have your own responsibilities before taking your move

into this kind of activities, not all you see from social medias are true most of them are just to allure people, paid streamers who works with the site owners..
I am sure every people want to have the same fate, but unfortunately, our fate is different, which will happen too with our luck. We can not expect to have the same thing as the others so we do not have to use the money to just playing gambling.

When people can not think much about the market that they already saw, they will not have responsibilities to themselves instead of losing their money because they only follow what the ads offer. It is better to search for more information about the ads so we can avoid losing money.

It is our responsibility to filter everything we read from social media because the free information on the internet can make much fake information that can make us get in trouble if we can not be wise.

This is how marketing strategies work,  everything can be soooo interesting and also worthy to take when seeing from the advertisement and promotions . They will not care about what they use,  they only want to get more people to use the platforms.

And that is why we are ourselves that must be aware about it,  smart,  and also careful about that kind of promotion.  They will seem so legit. And many people become victims.
Yes, that is right. If we talk about marketing strategies, many ways that they will do and will make nice promotions to attract more people to come and play. It is our responsibility not to get tempted by their strategies and we should think wisely to visit their platform. We can not blame them because they only want to grow their business by attracting more people and if people come to their platform, people need to be aware of the risk because that is our money and we need to take care of the money.
