La ONU para mi será siempre un organismo que es títere de los grandes en el mundo, la verdad no creo en la ONU, ni la OMS u otro organismo que haya sido creado para  "ayuda" de pueblos, para mi es la excusa perfecta para ellos manipular a su antojo lo que desean que la masa cumpla, en parte los medios de comunicación también lo son, siempre he sido partidario de ir en contra de ciertas cosas y la mayoría de veces acierto, por ejemplo con la OMS y el covid-19 cuando dijeron que era por el murciélago, pangolín , entre otros, cuando todos sabemos que fué una creación de los Chinos, o gobierno Chino, y ahora se les está saliendo de las manos el poder económico, que estos días el Euro se equiparó con el dólar, en países con economías estables están presentando problemas de inflación, lo que indica que las cosas en el mundo no están saliendo bien y en control de "los" que siempre lo han ejercido, ahora más que nunca hay que confiar en BTC, así no sea un refugio seguro como lo es el oro, pero pienso que es una opción muy buena.

Well, I hope Christian Eriksen is really in good health although indeed, previously Christian Eriksen has played for Brentford as well but I think playing at Manchester United will certainly be more physically and emotionally draining. Moreover playing at Manchester United certainly has higher pressure and hopefully Erik ten Hag doesn't just make Eriksen a second tier player, considering that there may always be concerns if Eriksen continues to play for the full time.

For me, when Eriksen plays for Manchester United, he will not only be a fundamental pillar, but he will also become one of the best players, it is true that in Manchester they can demand a lot from him, and I am sure that he will give it, maybe at the beginning The level of this football hits him a little, but everything is a matter of habit and things go well for him, besides with the coach he has, I know that he will demand a lot from him, the pressure will be unique, but he is prepared for that for many more demands If we take into account that it will be very useful for your career but with more effort, I think it is a welcome effort because it will help you grow in your career.
If there is no good club offer for Ronaldo then there is a possibility that he will stay for Manchester United, I think it is quite difficult for Ronaldo who wants to play champion league, another team has already chosen their desired striker and Ronaldo is offered anywhere it will be difficult for me to reach I think one season with Man United you have to be willing to play in the Europa League but there is a possibility for next season he can play Champions League again, because I think Manchester United will now be better and won't be bad anymore.
If Ronaldo continues to play for Man United next season, I think his performance might not be as good as last season because his heart is not completely for Man United anymore. He is indeed a professional, so he should be doing his duty but if he does it without full passion then the result will be different. In addition, that condition could affect the whole squad and I think there must be someone who is not happy about it.
now Ronaldo has many choices, there are several top European teams who want him like Chelsea and Bayern but no agreement has yet been made, if Ronaldo stays at Manchester United it is because of his own will and because of his love for Manchester United even though this team does not play in the Champions League stage next season , and I still believe that next season Ronaldo will be able to do better at Manchester United under the tutelage of coach Erik ten Hag.

The truth at this point I think that CR7 should not stay in a team just for love, I think that it is the last thing left for him, he should go to a club where at least the UCL plays, Bayern seems to me a team adapted to the level of he is strong, has a lot of class and is highly respected in the PL, if Lewa leaves or stays, I would still like to see those two play.
8563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mind Over Matter In Gambling Using Pendulum on: July 15, 2022, 03:06:23 PM
no one can explain scientifically about pendulums and such. However, things that don't make sense can happen. In some Asian countries, rituals such as using a pendulum are not taboo or strange, the main factor is cultural influence. I think gambling that uses a pendulum or similar rituals is a dupe for sure players must use reason, skill, dexterity and strategy, although that does not guarantee someone gets a win.
I think it will have to do with intuition or feeling that will tell you something that can lead you to victory. But what is clear, you can win if you have luck, and everyone cannot obtain this. We must realize that using a pendulum or something like that can't give victory, even though some people still believe in a pendulum that can help them win. We can't do much other than allow them to keep using the pendulum, and as long as they don't cheat, we'd better keep playing as usual.

Well, I think that all this about the pendulum and everything that has to do with things like that, for me I see it as beliefs, as things that can happen and that many people cling to believe that it is thanks to it, I know that there are people who read pendulum, who even look through the pendulum for information, but I think it's more subjective than quantitative, if the pendulum gave details of a number or something like that I think I'd dare to try it, but I know it's not, in fact if in Asia they do it, I imagine because it is part of their culture and that through it they give it that value directed towards gambling, but I think there are many more things to apply in gambling.
8564  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Problem, Is it Possible to be a Thing of the Past? on: July 15, 2022, 02:09:49 PM
Definitely yes,it is possible to forget about gambling and focus on other things that will give you money.What I see about gambling is when one is jobless,and he decides to try other means of making money,gambling might tend to him as the surest way to make quick money,and therefore,he will choose to try  gambling,but before he knows it,it has become his habbit.
But one can still leave gambling and forget about it change is constant,and the moment one takes a strong decision on gambling,and decides not to try it again,it is possible to make it a thing of the past.But this has to be a decision that you will never go back on.
What happens is that with gambling you can make money fast and it would be a solution, but I see this as a piece of water, 'because the person in his emergency will want to have all the luck in the world and maybe he will be given and win, but I think that on another occasion if you are looking for the same thing it is more difficult for you to achieve it, since you are already conditioned and it is a huge mistake to see a casino as the best option to put everything there, in money and energy. I know several cases of friends who have gone to physical casinos to play with the intention of seeing it as an ATM and most of the time they return with more losses, they even lose more than normal.

Any good casino that wants to grow will always seek for possible means to resolve any bad reputation as soon as the can because it takes recommendation  from players to help spread and boast the popularity of their operations. But most casinos tends to ignore this. the fact id no matter how reliable and popular a casino might be or claim to be a single bad reputation can reduce their clients drastically.

Yes, for every casino the most important thing is reputation, when there is a claim about problems, they focus on solving them quickly, of course there are always people who take advantage of this and create accounts to make all kinds of claims as well as invented if they find a vulnerability, but according to what we have seen in the casino reputation section, it is very likely that by showing the case the members also help to solve everything, for this reason, the big casinos always make their contests transparent, and This in turn can not only be boasted about but they are placed in the top 10 of the best casinos.

Not all degree will allow you to make a thesis about gambling stuff especially your degree has nothing to do about it. If you're an IT, economic and law degree, then it's possible you create a thesis about gambling. However it also depends on where you live, if you live in where gambling are prohibited, then your thesis will got auto rejected.
Thesis on gambling can be done in all discipline the key factor is finding how it help tackle gambling addiction as it is more of a global concern therefore will fit into any discipline at all .  I don't think any country will reject  thesis on gambling no matter how strict their laws are on gambling because it is done as a research that will give even a better conclusion on how to handle gambling in their locality.

It's actually a good thesis topic but you have to be well prepared to defend it. Studies about gambling and gambling addiction would sound new in universities and colleges because it's too broad. It will take a lot of time to research and do a series of studies but it will surely be an interesting thesis.
Yes, the truth to be able to prove a thesis that has to do with games of chance is very ambiguous, because obviously a thesis about this is to be closer to being rich and to be able to beat a casino in some way and this is something really difficult , and I think that in some cases it is impossible, for this reason it turns out to be very good, because the statistics for some games can be more accurate, perhaps in sports betting they can make a difference because they have to be taken into account There are some studies that are really conformable, but even so, the percentage of alettorieage is very large.
8567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Casino Trends For 2022 on: July 15, 2022, 05:33:39 AM
The drop for land based casinos did in fruition started at the start of the pandemic, it had made people to stay at homes while the online casinos continued to operate.

As a matter of fact, there's a news again in Macau that there's a spike of covid-19 cases and that can result in another implementation of lock down in some of their streets and likely gambling houses.

I'm waiting for one more thing in these physical casinos that will be a big trend for sure, acceptance of cryptocurrencies.
Now as the Covid has brought the whole world online there are new trends and techniques - people have learned the online gambling and that is how many people who live in the areas where gambling is ban are enjoying gambling and are menting money. There are pros and cons. Ofcourse!
It became like a pastime because we're all at our homes.

But it's now up to those who have discovered crypto gambling to leave it or not. Because it seems that there are many of those who have tried it became addicted to it or hooked into it.

The side effects are there and they have to take accountability for their own actions just like us. We know who we are and what will be our reactions as we gamble and those that gambled so much ended up addicted.
I am sure with the online casinos the gambling increased and there is an increase in the gamblers. Even the regions where gambling is banned people got  chance to become gamblor - - So this increase the spam and fraud as well.
For me the casinos will always be booming, it will not stop no matter how much they are prohibited, the governments cannot go against the tide, in fact the governments in most cases have a high participation in the casinos, on the other hand physical casinos always have their way of winning and always getting the best profit, this is something that can never change, in online casinos the house edge is also maintained, I think this is something that every player has to have Of course, for now we as players have to keep in mind that in a casino it should be taken just to have fun, that way it is better to take it.

8568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can You See Or Tell If A Fight Or Event Is Fix ? on: July 15, 2022, 04:15:00 AM

I agree that as per fixed games, it will remain a rumor and a speculation unless there will be some people who will stand up for it and begin an investigation and as long as it's not proven then it's safe to assume that these things are actually rumor.

Locally, there are attempts to expose those kinds of activities but a magic hands coming from nowhere easily remove any rumor about it and the individuals who attempt to bring it out either stop the claim or being ignored. Fixed games will continue to run the business without any doubts, though again, it's tough to recognize and every speculation will remain at it is until something will be proven that the game is being manipulated.

Nonetheless, only those who are involved will also continue to enjoy the luxury of keep sucking their winnings after settling the game.
Well, in every sports ecosystem there will always be corruption and when you try to be discovered, those who have more (economic) power buy all those who want to echo what is bad, this is something that will always exist, according to what they are more connoisseurs of a sport, they can realize when it is fixed or not, but there are times that they do it in such a shameless way that it is impressive how they do it, this reminds me of a local tournament game in Colombia, which the players let the goal be scored in such a crazy way, that everyone said it was fixed, that's a source of shame, in fact those teams were sanctioned by FIFA.

8569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ryan Garcia vs Javier Fortuna - July 16 on: July 15, 2022, 03:55:59 AM
I believe Ryan Garcia has a strong punching power but I have watched many of his fight he is not too strong in withstanding punches from opponents, he has a weak body language and should work in that, he should also work on his off the ring drama, Ryan is very popular for calling out opponents and still not going ahead to fight them, he has called out several big names like tank Davis, and Haney and so on, i wish him well in this fight I believe he is better than his opponent and he should be able to win it.

Well he was caught once during the Campbell fight, but he was able to recover and won. So not sure if that is a weak body language, Campbell punch was so fast that he didn't see it.

I guess that is his strategy to get the attention from media, calling fighter like Tank Davis and Haney or even Manny Pacquiao pre-pandemic and before his mental breakdown, however it didn't materialized. If he wins impressive, we will make that call again to Davis for all the marbles and then Haney to get his belt.

One of the things that you have to take care of a lot in boxing is the blows, but body language responds to a basic instinct and if there is not much in it, it is because good training is clearly lacking, if there is not a strong training that demand enough from the boxer he cannot get a good form, and any blow he receives can even leave him in a knockout, the most valuable thing for a boxer is the ability to resist blows, that's why I think that intelligence in a boxer is very important, much more than strength, because the boxer must study his strengths and more his weaknesses to be able to face his opponent.

Haha, I saw Indonesia is leading the poll on this thread, guess there are a lot of fellow Indonesian in this forum. Though Indonesia has grow a lot this year, I don't think they will make it to the final, surpassing group stage will be very good. But If I would bet my money, I would bet on Qatar or South Korea. Moreover Korea already bid to be the host, so their chance is getting higher. I wish Indonesia will also bid for the host so I could watch some of the game live.
Well Indonesia is a country that can really surprise, if I would like them to be the champions, although basically I am leaning much more towards South Korea, it is a country that is very confident and really has experience going to world championships, in fact with Italy it did a great role in a World Cup (extracting and leaving out the fact that the referee at that time represented being a drunk) and the history of South Korea is quite extensive, the players make very different plays, their way of playing and their style He likes it on occasions, also when seeing the last games of that team he promises, they are very fast, they have improved remarkably.

~
They don't trust the casino as the casino might misuse the kyc documents

This situation is impossible in established and trusted casinos. The KYC process is performed by a trusted third party, and the gambling site itself can't steal your personal details. But, of course, scammers are doing it all the time. Do not register on shady platforms.


You are right, scammers will do everything in their power, a simple KYC is not good for one of these beings, for this reason is that sometimes we have to be careful with casinos that are recently launched, we do not know anything about their security, how they handle it because they are relatively new, and this means that problems of very bad taste can be added, both for the players and for the casino in general. Even when the casino is new and managed by a well-known campaign manager, you must be very careful and very measured when playing, because it may be that a whole scenario has been set up where the main potential is the welcome bonuses and in the end it is not possible. comply, as has recently happened with one casino in particular.
8572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 15, 2022, 02:43:00 AM
PSG has successfully get Vitinha from Porto with 40 millions euro and he was officially announced to the public yesterday and Vitinha will get long term duration contract 5 years until 2027 this is good for PSG because they really need new player on midfield position and he can be good choice as the substitute of Idrissa Gueye or Marco Verratti especially last season he is one of the key player who help Porto get Portugal league title
Well, hopefully Vitinha can really contribute to PSG because even though he's one of the good Porto players, he's not that great at making goals and assists. Because for the central midfield position of course it would be better to have a good collection of assists, but not for Vitinha and moreover Ligue 1 will certainly be more difficult. I personally can't expect too much with statistics like this, but let's look forward to his performance next season with PSG.
Well, for me, the role that Vitinha will play is very important, since I am one of those who think that by dominating the midfield you have a won game, of course, very different from Italian soccer, who are experts in defense, in the case of the French I think the team is very well balanced, they could need to strengthen the defense, they have a good midfield, very good forwards and recoverers, but I don't see the center backs as very complete, it's strange to see a center back like Canavaro was in Italy, or as he was a full-back like Roberto Carlos or Paolo Maldini, if PSG are looking for a good full-back and central defender, I think they would be consecrating themselves as one of the best in the world.

I don't think they (Lille) will have another chance to win Ligue 1 next season, it will even be difficult for them to be at the top of the table. We can see their achievement last season, they can only finish in the 10th place. Even if there are teams competing with PSG next season, of course they are Marseille, AS Monaco, Olympique Lyonnais, Rennes or Nice. Do you think that any team except them can compete with PSG next season? Let me know.
No doubt all people here will bet for PSG winning Ligue 1 again for next season, but not pessimistic about other team like Lyon, AS Monaco and Marseille become candidate winner of Ligue 1. Ligue 1 transfer player still not dominance by other team except with PSG because other team not have enough money. Last season only Marseille as competitor for PSG and at the end league have AS Monaco but almost league ended but can't give anything difficult for PSG to be the winner of Ligue 1.

If anyone in this forum opens the topic of betting on which team will win Ligue 1 for next season, of course I will choose PSG, LOL Cheesy.
Exactly I will bet for PSG but I want to predict which one next team can destroy with PSG dominance for next season, will Lyon, Marseille or AS Monaco can be candidate with Ligue 1 trophy.

Well clearly PSG is a team that is undoubtedly the best candidate to win the French League, even though they had problems at the end in the UCL I think they can overcome and win everything, if they continue to have level 1 players it's obvious , but I think that to ensure they need to have another coach, one like Zidane. In the end, I don't know what happened with the Zidane case, there was speculation that he could go to PSG and at the same time be the technical director of France in the World Cup.

If the operators will allow bonus abuse, then for sure there's a risk on their side. Bonus are created in favor of the casino, it's like a bait for gamblers to get attracted and try their platform and once they already fall in love with the the platform, that's where gambling sites will already make profit consistently.

I think they didn't allow that kind of bonus to be spammed or to be abuse, it is just that since they are new in the market they used that thing to promote and to reach more people. But they should not tolerate this since it will be considered as cheating as well, users are benefiting from them, they will lose something sooner if they will not check the algorithm or the codes to remove this abuse in bonus.

They would not know that they were abused if they don't have a good system in place, they would think that the bonuses they are paying are just from legit winnings, so they are abused without knowing. What I'm saying is, "they will allow abuse", that is if they are not operating with a good internal control to prevent this.

When in a casino there is the possibility of abuse of any kind, you have to stop all operations and immediately look for the programmer to correct that bug, you can never let so much time pass because that is where the problems come from, most players are not abusers and follow the rules, usually those who get vulnerabilities get the bug and exploit it, but they do it so badly that they make multiple accounts that expose it and those who meet all the requirements take away the benefits and that's where The bad thing is, I think that a recently launched casino should have very good vigilance to avoid these problems.

8574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: July 15, 2022, 12:06:57 AM
I think it's better when a couple of strong teams miss the tournament due to the high level of competition than when the tournament turns into a huge number of meaningless games (due to a large difference in the teams' classes) and interesting games can only be expected in the 1/4 finals. Even in the current tournament, the group stage will not be very interesting, and in the next one everything will be much worse.

Again, I need to disagree with you. We are already having meaningless games. Even top ranked teams from AFC and CAF are unable to compete against teams from CONMEBOL and UEFA. I will give you one example. Remember the Russia vs Saudi Arabia match during last world cup? (inaugural match). Russia destroyed Saudi Arabia with a 5-0 margin. Now Russia is not a top ranking team from the UEFA. And yet the match was completely one sided, despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is one of the strongest AFC teams.

Then I do not understand why you write that you do not agree with me? You repeat what I write: too many pointless games. And taking into account the change in the format of the World Cup, there will be much more of them. My opinion is that the old format is better, and it would be even better to switch to a new format where there are no weak teams at all in the final part. And I do not agree with the fact that, for example, African teams are weak - there have often been good teams from this region in history that have performed well at the World Cups - Nigeria, Cameroon, Senegal, etc.
Well what happens is that we are used to seeing high-caliber games, in Europe all the games are exciting for me, just like in Conmebol, which for me is the most difficult tie in the world due to the enormous effort that is experienced both the teams and the players, of course I know that the Europeans will say that the most difficult is UEFA, but it is not the same to play in European stadiums, than to leave a relatively high country like Bolivia where the height takes away your breathing and it demands a lot of your lungs and after 2 days go to Venezuela in Maracaibo where the temperature is always very high, above 38°C, those are the things that make it more difficult and the only trip, even if it is by plane, exhausts .

I dont think Asian teams can do something on this world cup they just dont have that quality. Maybe they can advance the group somehow but thats the max i see from them. I still dont see how players will survive the hot weather in Qatar on world cup
Yes, the temperature is obviously going to be a problem for certain players from certain countries. But the players will have to adapt.

Personally, I don't think any team from Asia is going to be doing very well. By doing very well I mean reaching the semi-finals of the world cup at least. But I do have hopes that they will perform more effectively than before. Korea holds the most promise for me. But realistically I don't think they will even reach the semi-finals. I see the leading contenders for this world cup as Croatia, France, England, Brazil, Argentina, and probably Germany. I am really looking forward to seeing a really stellar performance from Argentina this time.
I agree about Asian teams because I am watching few countries closely for years and now feeling Asians are at bottom if we bring things by regions with Africans are also having much better quality from them and here we are not having any quality team just usual Japan and Korea are doing some better performance for decades and all others facing problems recently we have Australia which is also good but still need some good time for having better results.

Here about favorite team nothing is predictable because we have four months left in this event and now after few weeks European new soccer season is going to start which is also going to have big impact on this world cup because any injury or other trouble can bring down any team as if any good player is going to have things like this here before world cup.
The team that I hope a lot is from Japan, I don't know but since Japan had those legendary players I really liked their way of playing, I don't know if they remember Nakata, and from that spectacular World Cup that was in France 98, in fact they had such star players at the time that they made the iconic Nike commercial.

I completely agree with the old adage: anything in excess is bad. what you are saying is completely good advice to reflect on all the damage that addiction can cause. but i am very surprised, i think cases of body changes caused by gambling are rare cases as far as i know. if increased anxiety, restlessness and even difficulty controlling emotions are common. but if the case that affects the body changes it makes me wonder.

That's correct and that is what I keep on saying all the time - excess of everything is bad. Be it gambling, alcohol, sloth, gluttony, lust or any addiction.
I am a very sensitive person - and I have a lasting span of stress after a loss. So i try to avoid situations which puts me in stress.

The game greatly influences the emotions of the people, just like the tradition I think that people suffer from stages that they will never lose, and that they feel that they own the world, but what they do not know is that at any moment everything you can come down and that things do not always go as planned, in the game you are rarely up and winning, but when the bad streak comes it is impossible to stop it if there is not enough willpower, sometimes the player experience that you have feelings of revenge against the casino, and that is when you lose more money, sometimes the person has no way to express these constant losses, and the body is the one who often extracts them.

Here is a question for veteran gamblers. Do you check the types of bonuses offered by an online casino before signing up?
I am not a veteran gambler, but I do gamble sometimes. Sometimes I check the types of bonuses offered by online casinos before signing up. Usually, casinos give them at the beginning of the release so we can know what bonuses they offer. But if the casino doesn't offer a lot of bonuses for new members, I guess that's okay because maybe the casino will give you another bonus as long as you play there. But sometimes I just register, and sometimes the casino immediately gives the bonus when we register.

My way of seeing the bonuses is reading their terms and conditions, something that I did not do before, I always focused on how much the welcome bonus was and that's it, now when you read it well you can see that the welcome bonuses are associated with a wager corresponding requirement, for this we must be very careful, there is a wager of 30x, 40x and apart from that sometimes they ask for a deposit that is not common at all, and this is where what I call the "fool catchers" are just when they feel they have won something they have to make a very high deposit to only manage to earn very little money, so those things do not make sense to me.
8577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To build your Professionalism on casino on: July 14, 2022, 07:39:43 PM
Things to obey:
1. A gambler should gambling as an entertainment, not as a way to make money or the earning source of money.

Op this is a good list that would be adhered to in a utopian society. Having said this, I think it should be "Things to consider" and not "Things to obey". Obedience here doesn't guarantee "success in gambling". The fact is that not everyone has the luxury of gambling for entertainment. For some people is another source of income. So they take it very seriously. I am not referring to those who turn to gambling as a coping mechanism from life's challenges.
I think that the core of all this, or what it means by obeying is that if one plays just for fun (not looking for profit) the person internally relaxes, I think that the human brain forgetting that it is money that is being risked or he just doesn't care, he plays with a much higher level of being reckless, while if you play to win, you don't take risks, and those risks are necessary, that's why, when I play I totally lose money, I don't care if I lose it, because I'm satisfied that I got what I was looking for and it was fun, a very different thing if I win, I learned that quickly with the blows.

I wonder how much the Netflix series "Queen's gambit" affected chess' reputation
we know media can shape the culture in really interesting (and sometimes bad ways), in this case it probably affected it but not sure if we can measure how much and in which countries.

Well yes, the series is clearly good, at least I thought it was good, and it makes it clear that the great chess masters who for me are on another level are the Russians, I feel that in the film they focused well on chess, not her genius, but also how important chess is, and that it always takes several to be able to analyze the moves, at one point I thought that those who shared the moves and analysis at that time were the Americans and that those who they did not, it was the Russians, but in the series they focused on the opposite. For me it gave me many things to understand, and with respect to the level of each person, blitz and long games are always good, each person can become specific and expert in what they like the most.I would have to study the endings a lot.

The situation with the Super Eagles has entirely nothing to do with luck. A lot of issues have to be fixed, we have more big players in the squad now than ever and we still find it very difficult to qualify even for the group stages playing against other African countries. How lucky do we think we can be against European countries. There has to be constructive change, we need connection and a positive spirit in the team.
Totally agree with you. I do not mean to sound like a pessimist here but I really do not see a change coming anytime this year. John Maxwell said, "Everything rises and falls on leadership". I couldn't agree more. What we see playing out in the Super Eagles is a leadership issue. And I mean from the leadership of the nation and not just the NFF. Hopefully, see a change in the coming year.

Although it sounds ironic, luck has a lot to do with it, I feel that the eagles have certainly lacked good luck, and this about the eagles reminds me of my country's team that clearly before they were with players who were not up to the task, who were not they had luck and apart from everything there is a great internal corruption, and this is something that is very difficult to combat, but I think that at this point the government has already made an amendment, it has put one of the best technicians in South America and is making a good job, obviously the coach should be paid very well, and that should be the solution for Nigeria, because in Nigeria they have a lot of material, players who are forged from a young age.

Gamblers also suffer on market crash, there are some crypto gambling platforms that accept crypto but doesn't convert its value to $ value. While market price declines, we have to bet higher coin amounts for same payout. This is huge trouble especially when market goes down %60 and gamblers have to cover market losses before withdrawal on wining streak.
If that's the case for crypto gamblers, maybe they're better off leaving gambling for a while and saving their coins by just holding on to them. I guess it will be good for gamblers than them losing more of their coins on gambling either in value for money or in amount. But if they haven't been able to leave gambling, maybe they can convert their coins into stable coins, and then they can deposit them to a casino that accepts stable coins to gamble so they can continue gambling.

Well, one of the ways that players have is that those who have fiat money can buy BTC and be able to bet it on games, they may risk getting more satoshis than leaving them in Hodl mode, I also know that the risk of losing it is great, but i think its better for now to buy and play than those who are in hodl mode to risk it, in fact altcoins can take another turn, some know that when bitcoin rises it will have a lot of profitability, and some risk their altcoins to the maximum, but This does not end here, it could be that they want to give another meaning by betting only altcoins to try to multiply them and since their value is low it would not hurt so much.
