not sure how this "fork" you're talking about is going to happen when decentralized crypto casinos already exist and they fare pretty well user-base-wise. Fork only happens when a specific niche need isn't being met by the current market standards, but as in the case with crypto gambling, the need is already met and it's just up for the people to huddle upon it and play. Plus fork only happens on crypto tokens, how can you fork a concept exactly?

While I think you're onto something with these predictions, I don't think these things you specifically mentioned will come to reality, just because they aren't possible within the same stretch of reality that we're in. In any case. why not? right?

While it was a frustrating experience for that matter, I don't think it's something that is debilitating cause for the most part, casinos and games issue refunds and moneyback returns when their games freeze or glitches occur, which means that you can get back to betting and playing slots again if you wish to. It's annoying at best, and for superstitious gamblers like some they may take it as a sign of bad luck or the casino duping them into getting into a lose streak, but at the end of the day you come in gambling knowing that the odds are never in your favor, at the very least when you're dealing with online casinos the least you could do is expect for things like this to come up every now and again no matter how "revolutionary and state of the art" a casino's technology is.

Occam's razor buddy. Sometimes the more you overthink on a certain topic or a school of thought, the more you're becoming receptive to biases, heuristics, and unnecessary information that could very well steer you away from making that big win. I myself only use initial conditions, odds, and skills of both teams before betting and I don't delay. The more time passes between deciding and making that decision, at least for me, the more you're risking getting the wrong read and betting on the losing team. So might as well think less, find out the easiest answer out of all situations, and stick with it. The moment you let doubt take over and cloud your judgement, you're pretty much done in.

While I don't really condone "looking at casinos as a source of income rather than a form of entertainment" I can't really make you guys stop from thinking of it so might as well make sure you don't fall for death traps and stupid mistakes that will lead you to losing all your baknkroll. First off, you gotta play with games that you're either confident winning in, or well-versed at. The confidence boost that you'd get from being familiar with a game will help you find the ground to play in and possibly earn massive rewards. Another would be setting limits upon yourself. The biggest reason why gamblers lose all their money eventually is because they fail to consider the implications of not setting limits upon yourself. Belligerently placing bets and hoping for the best is a massive death trap that killed a lot of gamblers' dreams in the past. If you're going to gamble and win, might as well make sure that the wins you do get, are kept safe and secure.

I don't think this has got anything to do with casinos pulling a fast one on you and faking you out for profits. It's just a common way of life and in gambling. I myself have jumped into three different casinos altogether and have found that I claim more prizes when I don't gamble consistently, meaning I only gamble when I really feel like it, compared to actually allocating time and money on my schedule to support gambling. I don't know if it's got anything to do with my mental state or whatnot, but the fact that it happens is one of the only things I can be sure of regarding winning constantly for a while and then experiencing massive losses on the other days. I suggest you reconsider and reinvent your gambling strategy before gambling again, to at least maximize your win streaks yeah?

People are over-analysts at the core. It's much better researching something over and over after all than coming in unprepared. But this also comes with the caveat that causes people to fall for heuristics and biases that leads them to overlook important stuff that would've been beneficial to them. The solution to this is Occam's razor. Wherein the simplest answer is the right one. So if you find yourself in a dilemma pushing you to make the choice, like in sportsbetting, always go for the simple stuff. That way you can at least maximize your potential for wins. I've seen many a people analyze games that didn't need to be analyzed, which then lead them to overthink and lose the bet anyway. If you don't want to be like this, might as well ensure simplicity is taken care of.

First off, props to you for doing your homework first before jumping the gun and losing a lot of money. A lot of people in here lost funds from shady casinos and sportsbetting bookies that aren't to be trusted, all because they were tantalized by the bonuses or whatever fake feature they offer. As for your post my friend, I'm pretty sure Pmalek made a post about bookies you could trust and all that stuff. You should give him a visit as it's one of the most merited posts on this site anyway. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5333602.0 You also might want to visit btcgosu as they act as the de facto trust rating site for all bookies there are. Armed with all these, you should have the confidence to play on casinos and sportsbetting now, so good luck and happy gambling!

you might wanna read upon his post further. He literally said that he once was able to withdraw money form vave.com until he tried one day to do so and was disallowed, he got hit with a new change in their terms agreement that specifically bars russians from playing in their site. Such a change was weird and so they contacted him, under which they compensated the guy for the trouble with some extra as well. This is clear admission of guilt and a massive misplay on vave's part. Not in any way whatsoever the gambler's fault. He's borderline scammed if not for the fact that they paid him back his winnings and extra bonus for the trouble. which reinforces the fact that these gambling sites and casinos should always inform their players of changes like these.

You're not far off. The practice of intoxicating the chickens are no longer used though. There are casinos that offer these games, although it must be said that these casinos aren't that well known per se, and they are mostly catering only to their local country like the Philippines who had a dedicated cockfighting betting site during the height of the pandemic. It was open on some Sports Channels too back in the day although I don't watch that much TV nowadays so I don't know if they were still up and running.

It's a fairly recognizable sport around the world. The only reason why it's as obscure as you are trying to paint it out to be is because of animal protection laws that prohibit some countries from televising or even setting up these kinds of sports.

provably fair games are okay as it is. They don't need to be improved upon or whatever. They basically speak for themselves even lol. While I think your idea is great and could see some use in the future once gambling becomes larger, I don't think the problem of "cheating" or whatever is a large-scale problem really. After all it's already randomized as it could get. Plus you could basically have it verify its validity. I think it all boils down on "fixing what doesn't need to be fixed". Provably fair is great as it is so I don't think this improvement is needed. Although with your skills, you're definitely going to come up with an awesome idea with real-life application that people will ponder upon for years to come. Keep at it brother.

Casinos don't need to go ham on advertisements, especially those that are already established. They basically sell themselves at one point in their lifetimes when the whole stuff is already settled. As with those that do advertise, they can pretty much just settle for cheap adsense advertisements which doesn't cost that much, or they can go the beaten path and hire influencers and content creators to vouch for their safety and validity.

I suppose it's not going to be possible since it's pretty much advertising your competitors in one way or another. Perhaps twitch streamers with contracts signed on them like xQC and stuff are given Non negotiables when it comes to advertising these casinos. for everyone else, they can advertise as much as they want, price-wise I think it's not that far off from how much gambling streamers on twitch are getting paid through sponsorship.

Honestly this makes me so hopeful for the introduction of Web3.0, the fact alone that everything is individualized without compromise makes me think that things like this will find no place in the future of the internet. Imagine not being allowed to create accounts on a gambling site as a gambling addict, with your information passed around every gambling site as data is decentralized. That would literally force you to touch grass lol. While it has its caveats and downsides I know, it's still amazing to think that gambling addiction could be prevented by such a change in the framework of the internet. Only thing we'll only have to worry at this point is how to get there but everything else is covered for the most part.

That's what I've been saying, you literally just paraphrased it lol. It's happening all the time, arguably at the same rate that it happens in regular exchanges. The thing is that people are just not that fond of hearing about exchanges losing millions of dollars in 10 minutes due to hacking than a couple thousands of accounts from different gambling sites losing all their funds through a hacker attack. It's literally just easier to fetch data and scoop about exchanges than it is to gather news about gambling sites crashing due to hackers.

It's not a matter of what's more secure and what's not. It's all about which one's going to make more clicks in the long run at this point. And since exchanges are a hot topic in crypto right now, they are getting the brunt of the work.

More games, a systematized KYC system so people don't get asked out of the blue to provide proof of existence or something along those lines when they want to withdraw large amounts of money. The introduction of more games and same bonus parlays wouldn't be so bad either, so that's something you might wanna take a look at as well. Plus more secure ways they can keep their money so we don't have to worry about losing it to hackers. Just make the casino experience safer and more accessible and a lot of people in here would be happy with it already. We're easy to please after all, just make sure that the basic things we want to see from a casino is met and we're over the moon already.

I won't recommend it. There's no argument you can make about saving money on casinos that you couldn't use with other savings method like banks or private wallets. Cryptocurrencies are wide-encompassing, so you don't have to get it on exchanges and gambling sites for it to accumulate in value. You can just save it on your own wallet and watch the money pile up lol. Plus it's not safe either, people get their accounts hacked and their funds stolen all the time, if you don't want to be a part of this demographic might as well make sure that you don't put funds on your gambling account that you couldn't afford to lose.

Lastly, just use something else man. Gambling sites are meant for gambling, and unless they offer bonuses for holding cryptocurrencies (which I don't think they do) I say just keep it in a wallet.

That's a massive misinformation brother. Hackings on casinos happen every other day in here too. I'd argue that it happens as much as exchange cause hell, there's nothing that's different about these two anyway when it comes to security features. The thing is that since centralized exchanges are on a keen eye given the fact that news outlets within crypto and out are looking at its whatabouts, you'd get more news about hackings in centralized exchanges compared to casinos.

They offer the same thing, KYC, 2FA, the works. It's all just about the sensationalization of the media that's targeted towards these centralized exchanges. nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah nah I would say to only let the ones you trust the most know that you're gambling. Not those who aren't on your side. It could backfire horribly if you do so and you might even end up becoming the butt of the joke eventually. So might as well just let the ones you know and care about the most in on what you're doing, so they can intervene when things go south. The common misconception about this is that people think "asking for help" is equal to "surrendering autonomy and depending on other people for assistance" which can't be any farther from the truth. You could always ask for help without being a needy person, that's called having friends lol. If you're too shy or too prideful to ask for help, you have a problem.

I would agree. While it's not the casino's nor the bookie's responsibility to handle your gambling behavior, helping customers out when they sense something is awry is good as it ensures that everyone is healthily playing and is not succumbing to gambling addiction or anything. The hard part about it is how you would implement such on a gambling site or an online sportsbook. It's just exceptionally hard to ensure that people aren't sneaking up on you since it's so easy to create accounts now as well as to perform KYC. You can pretty much just borrow a mate's ID and you're set to go on your merry way. In the future more stricter systems could be implemented but until then we have no choice but to take gambling addiction measures into our own hands.

Way back then, gambling is a decentralized. It's played between players and there's no casinos that act as intermediaries. This both serves as a blessing and a curse since it ensures that there's no house that takes a major cut out of the prize pot, and at the same time it limits the whole gambling system to limited prize pools, games, members, etc. The introduction of Casinos in the late 18th century revolutionized the gambling world for better or for worse. Right now, it shows no signs of ever stopping or becoming detached from the gamblnig world no matter how much we try to boycott them. The closest thing we could is a decentralized casino which is pretty much the same thing, with the added benefit of knowing that they only ever act as a mediator in the casino, never someone who facilitates it.

This first match of theirs is a sight to behold. Draw on Move 35 is just something massive for Pragg, but a little impactful for Magnus. He can't afford getting more draws now if he's shooting for a higher rating which he is. Anywho, ratings not considered, while Carlsen is still not in his prime focus considering that he's sick during the entirety of the match I think both will be able to put up a good fight in the process. Pragg is feeling the pressure but he shouldn't let this get to him if he wants to take the top spot. Carlsen, the man who always have to prove himself will as I said in the past, do Magnus Carlsen things. Next match is coming soon and I hope they bring the same level of performance in the board if not better. Future's looking bright for Pragg!
