841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Glitches still affects online casinos? Or it's the casinos that sucks on: August 21, 2023, 10:42:54 AM
~
It's either your connection with the server got cut, so there was no response so the game just crashed, but I'm assuming the logic behind still ran and sent the response to the casino, which resulted in a loss hence why you lost money or B, there was something wrong that happened with the connection but again, the result still happened and was sent back to them, and only on the receiving end did you disconnect.

There might be instances where any loss in connection, like the moment you were sending data you disconnected, the server didn't receive anything so it just assumed a loss but afaik, it should receive something before the bet actually happens, so I'm assuming my former assumptions, where the data was sent, but you failed to receive the result (which was a loss) was the correct assumption. Technical glitches aren't anything new though, we all use different systems so it isn't odd that it happens.

Because
Sleep dreams that the tendency to suddenly become rich Cry

This is not really normal because meme coin is more dangerous in this crypto market. They always collect money from investors by showing amazing attractive offers. In reality their project does not last long in the market because most of the team members of meme coin are new generation and they have less experience. They are coming to the market only to grab the investor capital completely.
Because influencers and news outlets often portray memecoins as "successful" coins because of the massive profit growth that some of these have when in reality most of it is merely being manipulated by someone. This showcases the "capability" of meme coins to make someone go from zero to hero, when in reality said capability is actually nonexistent. And while I guess some people do luckily profit off of some of these shitcoins, they're closer, if not already a gamble imo. They might as well just go to a casino or hope to hit the jackpot on a lottery really, heck that's a lot cheaper compared to buying shtcoins imo.
843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What micro games is best for you? on: August 20, 2023, 11:14:43 PM
By my definition of micro games, It’s a game that let you bet small amount such as penny that has an option to scale up slowly.

I play slots, mines, dice and live game show. What I really like the most in terms of return is slow games because it can give you a possibility of high return on small bet in random manner unlike dice and mines that you need to setup the difficulty just to have a chance to get that target huge profit.

What micro games works well on your gambling style?

Does crash count? It was an absolute favorite of mine once I discovered it, I always try to squeeze in a few sessions every time I gamble at a casino of crash. It's just rather addicting visual-wise compared to say, dice. Slots were one of my faves in the past but eh, without changing it I gradually got bored of it so Crash is my current favorite. I'd say one of my most least played ones but still enjoy would be plinko? It never stuck to me but whenever I get back to it, it always comes as a kind of fresh experience, so I just let it stay that way

That's a very concerning situation. Young people can get addicted to anything very easily (alcohol, smoking, drugs, gambling...) and they are stubborn as fuck too. Sometimes they are so unwise and dumb, they think they know everything and that's a recipe for a disaster. She should talk to her son first imo. She should explain why getting addicted to gambling is a bad thing and maybe, this teenager will understand her. There is a small chance but sometimes talking works. Maybe your nephew didn't steal yet but if the situation advances, you'll never know what will happen in the future.
Let's probably give them the benefit of the doubt, the kid might be pretty knowledgeable for his age, and it's "addiction" that's a bad thing, gambling? Not necessarily. The mother can even help in monitoring so that the kid can be kept properly under control. While it may seem like too controlling, hey what can they do, the kids, well, a kid. I myself started gambling at around 18? 19, and I didn't really have issues. Granted I never continued for like, 4 years (my entire college or so) and only came back to gambling after that.

Hrm, I don't think I do, it's pretty random. I usually play in the middle of the day, alone as well, so I don't think others would have any influence on that. I also actively try to not to link everything to patterns, it's the number one gateway to thinking I have this under control when I don't. I think the most notable past I had of losing was peer pressure? I absolutely lost it when people were around me, talking about the game. This was one of my few instances when I started out, playing with others, it was devastating imo. Well it might have really just been me wanting to show I can, well, show something, and that turned out rather badly.
846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you will do? on: August 20, 2023, 12:25:11 AM
Everyone must have experienced loss, whether it's a big or small loss. And he experienced loss more often than he won. Has anyone ever experienced boredom playing gambling because they have been losing more often than winning? If anyone has experienced this, what did you do?

I'm giving out a poll to find out what all of you did and which one all of you voted for the most. I choose the number one because if I can take a break from playing gambling, I feel that I can handle my emotion with good, which can save some money. I already tried to take a break for a while to calm myself down and that worked for me.
I usually keep playing but not because of the reasons indicated, but just because I had a limit I set, so I'm confident I won't go past that and suddenly go goodbye money in my bank. I get tilted yes, I also take breaks every time I lose, but not to the point where I'd stop, just a bit of breather, take in nature, calm yourself you know, the usual stuff you'd always do when you're talking with an incorrigible person in an argument.

And besides, it's sometimes fun to lookback and see how much of a dumb mad ass I was in some of my sessions. 
847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top altcoin that you won't buy anymore on: August 19, 2023, 10:22:55 AM
Hmm I've never really deviated from the altcoins I've always wanted to buy, I've never had any issues with other altcoins as well (other than me being dumb in the past and selling them at a low price). I guess some would be XRP and BNB? Stablecoins are also one, I've never seen any use in trying to hold them, I've used them before and still use them now, but mostly for transfers and whatnot, for hodling/investing? Not so much. There's also a bunch of altcoins that I used to buy that just died down, so I just gave up on them later on after selling whatever I can.
848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to tell if a new coin is worth investing in! on: August 19, 2023, 07:11:17 AM
If a coin introduces a completely new technology that enables a different function and is sustainable in the long term, does it have the potential to be a worthwhile investment?
It depends on what this "new" tech is. I mean, look at NFT, it was completely new and innovative back then but look at what happened. Look at what it's users made the scene be. While the idea was there, it basically ruined the market. Early on though I guess it was a good investment since literally everything was new, and the market was booming so you can get away with making a profit off of something no matter how bad it was.

Just that, there's a LOT of worthwhile investment, idea-wise. Execution wise? They just run away really, scam their investors and get some bit of money off of that.
849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What sign should be noticed before investing new altcoins? on: August 19, 2023, 01:42:52 AM
Everyone including newbies are busy with old altcoins. And it is always advised to ingore new altcoin! But if none of us don't invest in new altcoins, then how will altcoins successful without any investors? Thus all new altcoins will be flopped???
Whatever new altcoins are risky what is known to all but what sign should be noticed before investing altcoins?
I think no one said to ignore new altcoins? They were just warned since newer altcoins have higher risk ratio in comparison to old and well-reputable altcoins. New investors should build up their portfolio and the best way to do that imo is to start with well-trusted coins, and then deviate from there slowly since you'd have a passive way of being able to maintain your money.

While thrusting yourself into the newer altcoin market could bring in a lot of profits if done well, newbies don't know how to do it in the first place. It wouldn't be any different from gambling if they just entered and invested in any altcoin they'd see that would look like would grow, especially if you consider how a LOT of new altcoins are just scams, or will end up to be scams.

A tad bit too early, but I guess I was the same really. I started gambling when I was in late high school, nothing too big or even official really. If you've seen a few of my past history, I started gambling in high school with my friends, but it never went outside of that. If he can manage his spending, and if his mother is actually going to help with that instead of actively just stopping it, then I reckon everything should be fine. If they have conflicting opinions and never meet in the middle though, it might create a rift between the two.
851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A person who won 600k$ in lottery on: August 17, 2023, 11:00:15 PM

It may also have something to do with the lack of perception some people have when comes to money and the meaningful of it. Let me elaborate:

In our daily life we manage certain amounts of money and we are well aware of what those amounts are supposed to mean. A hamburger can cost 5$, a bottle of water about 0,5$-2$, etc. But then we turn on the TV and we hear about governments doing investments and plans for 1 billion $ or we see on the news on your phones that Apple may sue another company for 20 billion $. We only hear those sums of money and we don't truly know what they represent.

With that mind set, someone who wins the lottery and becomes a millionaire is someone who does not know what their new money is capable of, they may think that they can buy anything they want and go into a spending spree, not realizing that a big house in a developed country may be worth a couple of millions by its own. So they spend and spend without realizing the true magnitude of their wealth, and before they even realize, they have to fill for bankruptcy.
[/quote]
I agree. I've had some instances of this happen to me, it was when I first managed to make a successful investment, I spent like $300 and got back to like idk, $1000 - $1500? in the span of like 3-4 months. It was a big amount, especially if you consider how the initial $300 was already a big amount for me. Making up to 5x of that in a few months was insane for me, and I honestly had no idea what to do with it. I spent a few hundreds with my hobbies but I still had plenty left over back then, so I just went ahead and invested again. Never really made the same amount since then.

It's also why I don't blame lottery winners for ruining themselves, regardless it be the way of helping others (donating it willy-nilly) or spending it on anything and everything. We all have greed in us, but a greed that doesn't yet know of what it's upper limits are is scary, since you don't really know when to reign it in.

Now, from my business understanding, in order to go after the dominant players in any industry and create a successful business, you need to do either something that they don't (ex: a unique exciting slot game that no one else has), or acquire customers through a channel that is overlooked by others (ex: Stake flooded Twitch when the other didn't look at it) or go after a dissatisfied customer base ...
~
Or just, idk, offer better service than them. It doesn't need to be new in the first place, just, well, better. A lot of companies underperform, but sometimes due to monopoly people have no choice but to use said service. If a competitor who actually does things right pop up? Take a few years and people would naturally migrate imo.


Good day everyone,

I'm interested to launch a crypto casino and I'd like to get your opinion.

My assumption is the following. The time where anyone could create a crypto casino and had a chance to compete is over. There are now very large companies like stake who have a dominant enough position to attract players with their affiliate deals, celebrity endorsements, welcome / retention bonuses and so on .. Most of the crypto casinos have the same platform design / game offering as stake which means trying to compete with them with bonuses isn't realistic.

Now, from my business understanding, in order to go after the dominant players in any industry and create a successful business, you need to do either something that they don't (ex: a unique exciting slot game that no one else has), or acquire customers through a channel that is overlooked by others (ex: Stake flooded Twitch when the other didn't look at it) or go after a dissatisfied customer base ...

I've come across multiple posts where the original bitcoin gamblers regretted the fact that none of the crypto casinos are anonymous like they all used to be, almost all of them requiring KYC at some point of the customer journey.

I think this is an opportunity to build something :

A real decentralised crypto casino platform - 100% anonymous.
Same principle as a decentralised exchange like Uniswap, all you need to get started is a non-custodial wallet with funds. No KYC.
Being fully decentralised and using exclusively crypto means we're operating within a grey area in the eyes of the law and therefore "no need" for a license.
I believe that in order to gain trust, using only provably fair games would be a great idea in order to show that it isn’t rigged.

It's just an idea so far but I think getting feedback from real players is the first step to validate my assumption !
Isn't this basically any other new casino out there promising anonymity? It usually doesn't last long, and as you've said it operates in a "grey area" so it's highly unlikely for it to be trusted early on, it'd probably take years before it builds up a proper reputation.

Honestly, KYC isn't bad (imo, don't burn me), the process that casinos ask for KYC is bad, dumb, and slow, and suddenly halts the user, freezing their funds without no rhyme or reason. Ofc if a casino can grow and build itself without KYC then sure, I'd go for it, but if it can't, the least it can do is provide quality service when it actually uses it.
853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling discussion effect on: August 17, 2023, 01:00:47 PM
I’m not a regular gambler before I start participating on gambling discussion here due to campaign requirements. Right now I have urge to gamble everytime I saw someone post here about discussion on profit or winning jackpot. Even a simple discussion about strategy makes me want to gamble because I’m excited to try the strategy that I’m thinking.

Right now, I’m still not frequently gambling because of my work but I do regular gambling once or twice a week even if I don’t do this before just because I’m always exposed to gambling discussion and the thought of it makes me want to try.

What’s the effect of gambling discussion here to you? I’m thinking to quit participating on signature campaign that involves gambling discussion in an event that my gambling activities is increasing above my normal habit.
It hasn't really affected me really. I was already a gambler before even taking up gambling signature campaigns, heck I'd consider myself as a gambler even way back when I was a highschool student really, minus all the depressing stuff that comes along with it, but a gambler nonetheless imo. It opened up a lot in terms of other people's circumstances regarding gambling though, which a lot of them are rather interesting reads (though a lot of them are also rather similar from each other).

I think you're fine man. No need to quit the campaign, just learn how to manage and deal with gambling habits and tendencies you develop, the bad ones that is. There's a lot of people that you can ask for help here anyway, as long as you're willing to work on it I reckon you should be fine.

I'd slap them with money and/or a ticket to a trip somewhere where they are fully monitored and serviced. Probably the best way to actually tackle the problem is by making them focus on something else, and with supervision at that to make sure said tackling is actually done properly.

If you want the free method, then you'd spend time with them. Actively make them participate in other activities/hobbies, ones that they'd actually enjoy and can take their minds off of gambling. Sure, self-exclusion, website banning and stuff like that can be used, but as long as anyone with the knowhow knows about how the internet works, they can easily bypass that. So actions where someone is personally taking note of what they're doing is probably a 100% better.
855  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could Bitcoin potentially serve as a safe haven in the upcoming economic crisis on: August 16, 2023, 11:10:49 PM
Hello everyone,

there's a lot of discussion about an impending economic crisis. I'm curious about how Bitcoin will perform during this crisis. Will it function as a safe haven similar to gold? Or will its value decline significantly?

what do you think ?
Possible. I mean I don't think people who have Bitcoin would suddenly run away and trade their coins for gold (or any other asset)all of a sudden in an economic crisis since there's no connection between the local currencies and Bitcoin in the first place. People would then scramble to come and look for assets that would help them avoid the devaluation of local currencies which inevitably would lead them to Bitcoin (as one of the options that is). It is volatile however, so I guess that's one risk of it in comparison to gold.

At the very least, I don't think I see Bitcoin dropping in value in an economic crisis even if people don't buy it to avoid fiat.
856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dreaming That I'm Playing In A Casino, Do You Have One, on: August 16, 2023, 08:37:27 PM
This happened 6 days ago and on two successive nights I dreamed that I was playing in a casino, I thought I'm spending too much time playing dice games at our fiesta, which usually starts at sunset and finishes before sunrise this is a record for me, it happens when I stopped playing because of the long hours.

I thought it was alarming but doing research online I found out that there's nothing to worry about it's just a relapse dream, it happens when you are trying to shut one habit in this case gambling too much.

How about you have you experienced dreaming that you are playing in a casino, is this alarming to you?

Resource :
https://gamblershelp.com.au/lets-talk-gambling/gambling-dreams/
I'm surprised there's such a "specific" answer for it. Does that mean that any other dream I have, say about a certain game, means that I'm trying to shut it down? Honestly sounds really far-fetched to me. And while I do dream even if rarely, it's never in an instance where I was really bothered by it in the long run, heck I often forget about them after a few hours so I guess you remembering about it does have some sense of meaning.

Well, I reckon anyone playing for almost idk, 12-13 hours maybe? would experience the same thing. I don't really think it's saying to shut down gambling, I think it's just telling you to take a break.

I think it's not even a matter of religion really, just a matter of mentality itself. It just so turned out that the mentality of those people who developed the religion viewed gambling as something negative, which I don't blame, I mean the idea that gambling was bad originated from that era after all, it just continued on since no one bothered questioning it simply because they were the minority in each of their community.

It is hilarious how people associate the devil with almost literally anything they don't like though, in their eyes it's like a free pass to hate something.

True. People can want their privacy without having the need to give a reason. Gambling is an activity that is legally allowed in most countries anw, and if it wasn't then that might just be a reason itself. But anyway hiding it isn't anything weird if it was legal, I mean I hide what I eat everyday, hows that any different.

Now with online gambling and casinos always browsing adds where a gambler is enough to get addicted to gambling. In this case, he must stay away from electrical devices, especially laptops and mobile phones, from those browsing that are directly related to gambling and casinos.
No matter what is said a gambler will never be able to stop himself from gambling and casinos if he does not change his mindset. It is possible for a gambler to refrain from gambling only when he develops an anti-gambling attitude in himself.
Just clear browsing history and cache but if that doesn't help, I agree to your suggestion to just avoid all devices and even smart phones.

That's going to force the mind of that gambler to stop doing so because he's got no way of doing and accessing. Also, in alternative for it, try to find another hobby.
Does this work the same on apps I wonder? Like clearing the data would hard reset everything you see. In the cache thing though, I'm not totally familiar with it but isn't the data stored within a specific cache tagged to your account? That is why your ads are matched whether you view them from a phone or laptop/desktop. At least that's how I think it works, so I don't think clearing the cache would actually work. Not familiar with how they store data so idrk, might be better to if needed, just create a new account and format everything to remove any possible connections, maybe even stop using devices as others have said altogether if possible.

This looks like it's a game of luck, but no it isn't. Anybody who has tried it out would know and realize that after a few flips, you would be able to determine how strong you should start out to make it so that the bottle flips properly the way you want it to. Maybe if it was randomized with varying levels of weight and only like, two, three tries (with no practice), then it could become a possible game suitable for gambling, but eh, I don't really think it would gain traction as a gambling game. Might work on a small group though, since it is kind of fun once you get into it.
860  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Whitepaper just Buzz Word in Alt and Meme coins? on: August 14, 2023, 11:03:38 PM
Hi Friends,

I often come across Alt Coins and even meme coins showing white paper. IMO, they are absolutely ruining the meaning of Whitepaper, aren't they?

Some of them use it for showing Toeknomics, some of them show their Utilities & Use cases, some show Roadmap and Planning, and some show just Memes in the paper.

There are many Crypot New Enthusiasts who just jump into the Project as and when they see Website and Whitepaper link. Hardly check what is even inside!

Just wondering what is your take on it!
It's not that they're ruining the meaning of whitepaper, it's just that the whitepaper is mostly needed for their project to even attract someone to read their use case if there actually is one. In most cases, the whitepaper they have is simply a template used by the majority, with a few keywords changed to match their project. It was a standard that was created to present the project, especially in crypto's case where most projects can be considered as investments, and a lot of people do actually check on it, a matter of understanding it is a separate thing though.
