A few years ago, slots appeared with the purchase of bonus games. Within a short period of time, almost every software has implemented this feature.
For me, the game of slot machines has changed a lot. The winnings in the regular bonus have become smaller, and the purchase of bonuses breaks the whole ideology of slot machines. By the way, the chances of a big win in purchased bonuses are much higher, but I do not like to buy them.
How do you feel about slots with purchasable bonuses? Would you like to do everything as it was before, without buying bonuses?
These sort of bonus and side games have been around for a long time, at least 20+ years and are nothing particularly new. It's part of habit building behavior by the casinos, chasing the little side games is what can keep someone hooked - if you're at 9 out of 10 on some special bonus bar, they might be able to squeeze another 20 minutes worth of cash out of your pocket while you chase the final randomized step, that is probably not worth the amount that you paid to unlock it. They can often reward bigger than the regular slot game and become an additional stage of the slot machine, maybe even allowing them to advertise bigger winnings that are very difficult to actually attain. |

It's the process of making money and reinvest make money and reinvest. If you made just some lucky 10x profit but you can't keep up your stradegy for the long term then you don't build any wealth. If we talking about trading and you don't build wealth with starting capital of 50$ then you woun't do it with 1000,3000,5000 either. If we talking about real estate , first you need to understood the " mortgage markets " If you make like 10 year Investment plan because you been told real estate always good Investment then it's gamble everything what you don't know about and can't control it's gamble. And gamblimg is not business so dont call yourself like investor or traders  You think by holding the gold,silver and you always stay in profit that kind of mindset it's gamble not investing. You think inflation always goes up and money printers working always its also the gamble. You need to know everything about the topic you deal with specially when money is involved. 2023 year Will be good year to teach you Lesson don't take nothing for granted but learn first how it works. It's an important lesson that many people do not learn early enough in life, especially with the amount of "get rich quick" type activity that surrounds us in the world today. There will be a handful of people that get lucky with things like the lottery or inheriting money. However the majority of people who got rich, did so over a long time, through either building up a company or getting a salary which is then invested wisely into the markets. There are all sorts of routes to wealth, however spending all your paycheck every month on unnecessary junk is an easy way to live an average existence through life and the faster you learn that it takes a lot of time and commitment to build wealth, the better off financially you'll be. |

This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it: Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it. Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider. Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably. Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone. Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling?  The biggest one that I can think of is to completely cut yourself off from gambling if you're starting to feel guilty about playing for any reason. Maybe you've had loss after loss, or are spending too much time playing the game that you're not doing anything else with your life. Some people like to advocate restricting or weaning yourself off slowly, however in my experience that does not work. You've got to just reach the point where you decide one day that you'll not do it again. Continuing to play, even small amounts, is just reinforcing that habit and it will creep back up to the original point. It's liberating starting to feel in control again, but it'll take weeks and months of tough times to reach that point. |

Like my username we are in 2007 the 2024 year 2008 ..so 2008 started Strong money printing. Also btc halving next year So everything calculated  It definitely feels like we're in some sort of calm before the storm. We're starting to see problems emerge in economies like China, so maybe it will be Asia's turn to have a deep recession and the rest of the world might be able to get away with it a bit more lightly. China is having huge problems with their property companies, which were effectively retirement savings for many people, so it could cause difficulties that ripple throughout their society. The fact that certain countries have raised interest rates will mean they have a different lever to pull on before resorting to money printing. They can notch the interest rates back down and free up money to mortgage holders/renters if things get difficult. |

1. Choose stats based on the bet
Sounds simple enough, but a lot of times, we don’t study the right stats. For example, let’s say we’re thinking of betting over or under an MLB pitcher prop.
The total is 10.5 strikeouts. The most important stat to study isn’t how many strikeouts the pitcher averages, but how many strikeouts the pitcher has had versus today’s opponent.
We must take it even further for the stats to be more relevant. How many strike outs has the pitcher had versus today’s playing opponents. Baseball players don’t play ever day. They often do, but not all the time and turnover happens a lot in a 162 game season.
Always think of and choose relevant stats based on the wager.
2. Look at relevant stats in relation to each other
We can continue with our MLB pitcher example to illustrate the second most important use of stats on our list. But let’s switch it up.
Let’s talk about an NFL against the spread bet. Suppose Team A is -3.5 to cover the spread against Team B.
You determine the most important stat is Team A’s ability to pass the ball. Team A ranks second in passing yards per game. Ah, but after looking at Team B’s passing defense stat, you realize Team B is excellent defending against the pass.
Do you ditch the bet? Not necessarily. What if you see that Team A’s RB1 averages 5.4 yards per carry? Now what do you do?
The most relevant stat in a situation like this isn’t even a stat. It’s the head coaches and offensive coordinators ability to change strategy depending on the opponent. So if the HC and OC are willing to lean on the rushing attack to open up the passing attack, your bet on Team A might still be a good play.
3. Use trends to support or deny the validity of statistical information
Let’s say you see that the head coach and offensive coordinator have leaned on the passing attack in every game of the season. They leaned on the passing attack last season.
That doesn’t mean they won’t change the strategy for this particular game. But it does mean the chances of the two changing the strategy isn’t great.
So you could be making a losing bet. Stats may be valid overall, the Bills did average over 28 points per game last season, but may not be valid for every game, the Bills also scored less than 28 in 7-of-17 regular season games.
There is definitely a lot to be said about using statistics and looking for unusual correlations that bookmakers might have missed, however they'll always be learning - especially if you start hitting big money with a new found combination. Doing it consistently can also be hard to prove, because natural variance can make something look successful the first five times and then it may fail the 15 times after that, how much money do you pour into it before you decide to cut and run? A good one that I came across in the past was when a team is 2 goals ahead to nil by half time, there was an extremely high chance that they would end up winning. Seems like an obvious metric, but finding the highest paying odds can also make a difference.. between a 1.03 or a 1.09 at different sportbooks. |

so a 56+yo hispanic person earning under $20k, their general data is worth $0.09
so a 20yo middle eastern person earning $130k, their general data is worth $1.31
data can also be worth more if specific demographs also have data that relates to an industry/product interest of the data buyer. EG a SCI-FI movie fans data would be worth more to a company that sells SCI-FI merch/entertainment products
It's interesting to see these numbers and I'm guessing that they correlate to how much money they can make from marketing towards you. I guess the fact that many middle easterners (at least in places like Saudi and the UAE) receive an income from their government and have vast amounts of disposable cash it what contributes towards that, maybe religion plays a part in it as well. I might have expected the white demographic to be higher placed, but there are quite a few in that group so the pricing can range a large amount depending on geography and the demographic. In general you might find specific peoples are worth much more, so these are very broad averages taking into account the large poorest groups. |

As a morally upright person that does not like to cheat people, but gambles and has lost a lot of money to gambling in a casino where you have sometimes been cheated even without your knowledge or betting on sports, will you take an opportunity you get and go against your moral standards to cheat a casino or sportsbetting place, just so you can win big at least even once.
Will you try a trick to win on casino game machines if you were told and it is a 100% working trick to cash out? Will you bet on fixed games if you get the tip early?
Cheating in any aspect of life will usually lead to bad outcomes. It is short term thinking behavior or trying to screw over people around you. There is very scarcely a chance to ever cheat against a casino, unless you're talking about things like card counting - which is extremely difficult to pull off in a modern casino and is not really cheating, just using good memory skills. If a slot machine has these sort of bugs it will be detected very quickly and they often have centralised control systems these days, so it'll be shut down to be investigated. |

On July 17, 2023, Russia withdrew from the “grain agreement” and officially notified Turkey and Ukraine, as well as the UN secretariat, of its objection to the extension of the “grain deal” for the export of grain and other agricultural products from Ukrainian ports to the world market.
In connection with the termination of the Black Sea Initiative and the curtailment of the maritime humanitarian corridor, from 00:00 Moscow time on July 20, 2023, all ships en route to Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea will be considered as potential carriers of military cargo. Accordingly, the flag countries of such vessels will be considered involved in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of the Kyiv regime, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Thus, Russia stated that it intends to sink any civilian ships that will be sent to the Black Sea ports of Ukraine. This will greatly complicate the delivery of agricultural products to many poor regions of the world. Due to Russia's sabotage of the "grain corridor" in recent months, the world has not received an additional 25 million tons of agricultural products from Ukraine. In total, 1,002 vessels left Ukrainian ports during the year of this agreement. According to the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, since the start of the “grain agreement”, more than 33 million tons of products of Ukrainian farmers have been exported to 45 countries of the world.
It is worth noting that after withdrawing from the grain deal, Russia has been attacking Ukrainian ports with missiles and drones for the third night in a row, trying to hit terminals with Ukrainian grain. So, on July 19, 60,000 tons of grain were destroyed in the terminal of the Ukrainian port of Chornomorsk, which was planned to be delivered to the world market two months ago.
With its piracy, Russia is blackmailing the whole world, trying to partially lift sanctions for its military invasion of Ukraine and jeopardizing food security in the world, thereby increasing the threat of hunger in many poor countries of the world.
Russia grows weaker every day they leave the lunatic Putin in charge, and the rest of the world grows stronger. Maybe one day the Russian people will wake up a realize the fool they've left in charge while he's gone senile. Sadly it is the poorest in the world who will be most affected by Putin's actions in attacking one of the biggest grain producers in the world and restricting grain exports during this war. It's funny the leaders in certain African countries praise him, while he kills their people via starvation, but we know they are untouched and living the lives of luxury. The sooner this war ends, the sooner everything can start to heal. Construction is a lot more positive and helpful than the destruction he brought for no reason. |

Hi guys !
I'm following up on my previous thread "Opinion on crypto casino project". It's pretty clear that building a decentralised crypto casino isn't viable. Therefore, going for a centralised platform is the way to go. Now, in order to differentiate ourselves from the crowd it seems that providing a world class customer experience is the most realistic opportunity.
So the purpose of this thread is very simple, as a crypto casino player what particular challenges, problems, or complaints do you have ? Or what particular improvements would you wish to see in your favorite casinos ?
Thanks for the help !
It's really surprising that there isn't a big poker site out there in the crypto space, but it would take a monumental effort to reach the "critical mass" needed to keep it going and you'll be competing against some solidly established fiat currency equivalents. However it is a space that is currently under served. Maybe actually organizing things like live drone racing events, with a good cash prize to participants and possibly exclusively hosted on your platform, but these are definitely end game scenarios. Just getting the foundations right is going to be a huge challenge for you. Free promotions and giveaways will draw in the most players, but besides that being a cookie cutter casino and bookmaker at the start is what you need to strive towards. |

Any Crisis or economic downturns its impoosible because we are now days use to with good life My day start with morning fresh cofee from the beans only Quality coffe and then i'll go out eating out Im use to with buying only cheapest brands Are Armani or boss because now days those Are essential products to have. So my point here IS people Will go out of mind becouse we Are use it with good food travel around world and relax. We Are use with Nice life ...we eat what we want and always full stomack and thre is no question about If you want to eat good food in nowdays you get it 24/7 and it's normal to drive new nice Luxury cars. The living standards Are good as normal and we don't eat bad food always must have fresh food. Always must have brand new clothes and always need to get services for my money. So it's impossible to have any crisis people not use to with any Crisis as Luxury life is our new normal life Who is this "we"? There are so many people on these forums that have different costs of livings and different incomes from various sources. Back in 1930? Tv's and the internet did not exist, with all the simplications they bring. Many people did not have indoor plumbing or showers. There were very limited global supply chains, you'd generally be eating whatever grew in the local area year round. Clothes? You'd be wearing the same sets year round and repairing them, washing would be done by hand. Mass produced cars were in their infancy. The world has come a huge distance in the last hundred years and it's ridiculous when people make comparisons which don't have any context. |

Let's keep this as simple as possible and let's not shitpost! I see thousands of posts about football, a few hundred about other sports, and the rest are just almost non-existent. I'm a gambler myself but I stopped a while ago betting on soccer, all the Nxx in American sports and I'm just betting now and then on horse racing, from one penny at a time to some larger sums in case of a grade 1 event or festival. But here it seems like there is little interest in this, is that because horse racing is just unpopular or is it because, well,.... the casinos that sponsor most signatures here are not promoting it? So no post quota to make?  My old local gambling forum that covered this is also near death, I'm sitting in the sun 8 hours a day boring myself to death, so here comes feedback next part : - Do you honestly think running a prediction game (run with my own funds) would attract genuine interest in this and not just shitposting quota? - Would let's say 1-2 mbtc (per event, about one or two per month) be enough for people here to at least open a few links and take a look at what hoses are running and what their timeform is? - Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing? LE: I'm genuinely curious, a lot have stated that horse racing is way too complicated, I made a free prediction game with the above-mentioned prize so, I really want a bit of feedback on what you considered to be "too complicated"? I'm right now genuinely curious how people who deal with crypto, gambling, trading, TA and coldwallets can find betting on horse to be way too "complicated" So here you go: I'm really really curious about this thing! It's turning into an obsession! I think people like simplicity and being able to predict an outcome. If you have a football match, there is usually just a 50/50 chance one of the teams will win and there will be a corresponding odds payout for who is predicted to be the winner. I'm sure most people who have been gambling for a while have "dabbled" in horse racing, maybe won their first bet or two out of sheer luck, but once you've placed 3 or 5 bets you start to realize that it can feel very random trying to pick the winner out of 10 horses. The odds payout look absolutely amazing, get 10 or 50 times your money back?? But no, the chances of picking the winner or staging your bets in a profitable way is beyond the reach of the average gambler, so they stay clear. |

Since August in my country, the price of food, especially food staples such as wheat, rice and others, has experienced a very high price increase. This was apparently caused by the ongoing drought. Which makes several areas of plantations and rice fields fail to harvest due to lack of availability of water to water the plants. And this makes food stocks in the market start to run low from time to time. And yes, the price hike ensued. Rice prices here have even increased by around 9-10 percent in the last month in my area. And I'm afraid the increase will continue. Because many residents are starting to talk that if the drought continues longer then it is feared that the increase will occur higher and faster. For farmers, it can be said that currently they are getting big profits because they can sell agricultural products at high prices. but for ordinary citizens who do not have agricultural land, the current food prices really make them tight.
The residents' economic sector has actually begun to recover and improve in the past few months. But because at this time there was another spike in prices again, it made the people around me start to complain again about the current economy.
But I was wondering if this only happened in my country or in your country too?
It seems like food prices have shot up all over the world, there's even a distinction between the cheapest food and eating out. Prices in shops have gone up for the most basic ingredients like bread, milk, fruit and veg. What I noticed the other day, which is admittedly a luxury for some, but prices have also gone up in restaurants quite substantially - maybe even 50-100% just in the space of a couple years. It's a bit of a dangerous spiral, because unless it steadies you can end up with ever increasingly inflation which many people in developed countries have not experienced before. It makes it very hard to gauge good prices and hopefully things like an acceptable resolution to the Ukraine war will take a bit of pressure off. |

If someone claimed they have the right strategy for gambling and winning more times than losing, why can't they use the strategy for themselves and change their lives first?
Why did they go around looking for people to teach? This is why experience after following a friend to a gambling group on telegram, but I am not ready to take the step in any other their predictions..
My question for you my friends is are there sport betting groups that gives betting calls that are legit? Because I believe that if anyone knows a way to change their life around, they won't tell anyone, they will enjoy the moments and pray it last forever.
The sports betting groups that most people are going to come across are not worth your time or money. They will primarily be selling a product, that product is not profitable bets for you to copy, but a single payment or subscription for you to join until you realize that they are no better than randomly choosing bets yourself. Lots of them will strategically manipulate people into signing up, like showing streaks of winning bets which are usually faked in a whole variety of ways, or they might only be able to offer something like 51% of winning bets, which is the same as flipping a coin. Besides all that, bookmakers are not fools and are constantly evaluating whether they are pricing their bets properly so will quickly shut down and profit leaks. |

I have two scenarios I want to talk about. One is fictiion, but possible. The second is possible and in the discussion of current space agancys and companys. Source: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Preparing_for_the_Future/Space_for_Earth/Energy/Helium-3_mining_on_the_lunar_surfaceExample #1 - Fiction - Planet X with huge amounts of gold Example #2 - Real - Earth Moon with huge amounts of Helium 3 and 4 What if, companys or countrys can built and run factorys on both, Planet X and Earth Moon. And we can mine gold and Helium 3 and 4 in huge amounts additional to the earth sources. What will it do with the earth market for gold and energy (Helum 3 and 4)? Are there big differences of the price of f.E. Helium 3 on the Moon-market and the earth market? And aditional: Are there big differences of the price of Gold on the Planet X-market and the earth market? Or will the earth market crash? How is it taxed? In the short term, space mining is unlikely to have any impact on metal or precious resources. There are lots of sources far below the ocean surface that are likely to be more easily extractable than trying to reach out into space. It'll probably be many decades before a feasible idea is even attempted, which might also be liable to government intervention. Unless you were able to find an asteroid made of something like gold, that could be mined in a special way, then the complexities are not even worth bothering to investigate. Asteroids of a decent size in close earth proximity are fairly rare anyway. We'll definitely see more research and probes going out to determine whether it is possible though. |

Playing for many years, I observe a certain series of wins and losses. It looks like it every time! Also in casino chats, a lot of people talk about it.
Most of the time the casino takes the money. But when the winning session comes, on this day many slots give you a solid win, it is impossible to lose. This successful session can last several days.
As soon as this ends, absolutely all slots begin to take money.
How do you win and lose?
There are all sorts of complex algorithms and advanced psychological tricks that casinos have honed over the years. They will run complex experiments with the aim of getting players to deposit more money and play for longer so they become more addicted. The behavior of gambling is very repetitive, but they also want to lure you towards in-game bonuses, which can seem attainable and they are - but only once the right thresholds have been reached for your account, to feed you back a little amount of winnings. There is also natural variance which will take place like most things in life - you might be able to string together 3 green lights on the way to work for 3 days in a row, there is nothing divine happening, it's just a random lucky string of separate events. |

Sometimes as a rational thinker, I've tried to wrap my head around how China has been able to sustain their economy with an estimated GDP growth of 3.00 percent and per CAPITAL GDP of 18187.98 USD, Especially owing to the fact that, they have to much people heavily dependent on her economy and population of over 1.400 billion people. I see a lot of countries with much lesser population struggling to sustain their economy at this point, with global inflation, the after effect of COVID-19 other multi-dimensional economic problems. Because I can remember vividly that China, are one of the highest hit of COVID-19 but yet they are still waxing stronger economically. The other day, Pawal7777 was talking about recession hitting CANADA, and that's how other countries are having one difficulty here and there economically. So my point is, what economical indices is china adopting to keep their economy afloat? There's no doubt that the Chinese government had brought hundreds of millions of people out of poverty in the last few decades. In the early years they achieved this by creating many millions of factory jobs which had rather "basic' conditions with health and working hour conditions that would never be accepted in developed countries. However lately they face the typical problem that new generations of workers are wanting to gravitate towards less menial tasks but there does not seem to be capacity to support them. Combined with older generations using property as their main investment/retirement vehicle it creates a rather chaotic situation which may unravel the whole economy. |

I have seen several topics here and other discussion thread where many people talked about gambling addiction. So many procedures been stated to follow sequentially to reduce the rate at which one frequently visit online gambling sites and possibly their application if they do have any of them.
I remember in one of the threads I raised up a point which was long hidden as the thread became too numerous and lengthy to continue the conversation on that topic. It was my opinion to add up in profering solutions to gambling addiction. I believe not too many people saw it to to say something about it so that is why I had to bring it up as a topic hear. I want to hear your opinion and ideas towards it.
Here is it;
I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings by blocking casino adds and as well disabling gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve. This was just a little tip I gave as a possible solution. I had to put it up here for further discussions so that the bigger community can see it as well.
If you feel or think here is not the right place for this you can say it. I am open to corrections as we all are here to learn.
The most powerful measure to stop gambling would be a worldwide agreement between all governments to create an opt out scheme, which any gambling related company would be obliged to adhere to. However getting agreement on that is a huge task and probably be unworkable. At the moment you might be able to opt out from all US casino's via one program but then find other casino's in Europe for example, who would happily take your deposits. Hopefully this sort of cooperation will become possible in the future and allow gambler's to cut themselves off if they feel like it has become a problem outside of their control. |

Let's suppose you have a limited budget which can be used only for one of the alternatives below:
What is the best investment, in your opinion? To use this money to pay for your education, so you can conclude a superior course and achieve a higher degree, having access to a wide jobs' market, or to use that money to acquire an apartment, house or piece of land, so you can make a passive income from this?
It brings the following question up: what is more valued in life: to be or to have? Does it make someone fulfilled to have while not being or being without having anything?
Everyone's life is different, there is no catch all that will apply across all situations. There are some people who may have free accomodation from their parents until they are 30, allowing them to fund both. There are others that may be kicked out at 18 and fending for themselves who will find it extremely tough to fund higher education. Both things can also come at different times in life, student loans may happen before you're 25 and housing mortgage costs may happen after 25. You have to be careful with higher education though and be sure there are plenty of higher paying jobs in the field you are studying if money is your aim. |

This topic is not about the recent hacking of Stake there is a dedicated topic about this Stake.com Hot wallet robbed for 40Million + usd (Confirmed by stake)But it's more on the general opinion when top casinos are hacked - Do you think that big casinos can survive hacking because they have enough funds stored elsewhere - When they assured that users are safe do you believe it or is it just a way to keep their status in the industry intact - When top casinos are hacked and they still operate and still into their business without interruption do you believe that - Top casinos should be our priority because small casinos cannot operate normally after the hacking. - Do you believe that there will be more hacking after the top casinos? - Do you think gamblers will stop playing for the time being after this is all settled? This will cause destruction or at least major reputational damage to stake, but it is not necessarily ending their high market share. They would be making a lot of money consistently, so while it will hurt the owner to lose these vast sums, potentially if they are able to weather any storm and pay out every cent by skittish customers in the short term, they may be able to survive longer term. There probably won't be any bonuses to the staff this year though. However this attack could have been very targeted, even by state funded actors like North Korea, who are very patient and will work their way in - knowing there are no criminal consequences to their behaviour but bit reward from their government for the cash. |

It's been awhile I try daily to make profit
Stake casino mostly mines
But it take back profit.. I have 2k balance.. is there method
To get 100 $ per day
You're not making $100 per day on a consistent basis at any casino on unskilled games where the house controls all the odds and mathematics behind the games. They exist to make money and most are rudimentary, where they might just focus on games and not even offer anything like sports betting or poker. If you have to ask the question, then it's most likely that you won't have the ability to even work your way towards profitability without a very long learning curve, that will be expensive to complete. There are a lot of clever people out there who have developed certain strategies which may end up with profitability, but it often takes immense intelligence or a lot of practice - learning what works and what doesn't, which nobody is going to give up an answer to easily. |
