1  Economy / Gambling / Re: Winna.com | Casino & Sportsbook | Industry Leading Rewards & VIP Service on: Today at 01:33:23 PM
Good evening everyone, I’m a new user on Winna. I discovered the site through the forum and decided to register. On Sunday I signed up and placed my first bet, I won and decided to withdraw part of it. On Sunday the withdrawal went into pending because they said they are checking my bets.
But if I only placed one, how can that be?
This is the first time something like this has happened to me.
My account is zip3268, can you check it?
It’s the first time I find myself stuck in this situation, and it’s not pleasant

As far as I know, there is 1x wagering requirement of your deposit before you are allowed to withdraw, so did you place the whole amount of your deposit before you requested a withdrawal?
If your bet was less than your deposit and you only placed 1 bet, seems that it is pending due to you have not wagered your deposit 1x which may trigger their system and they have to check your bet.
Nothing you can do except waiting for them to check, checking 1 bet should not be that long so maybe you can try to push them after 1-2days since their last reply.

I might be thinking that maybe he is newbie here, but for sure he should know that there is a betting requirement before he can withdraw his money?

Otherwise as what we have said, there are a lot of newbie accounts suddenly popping up mushrooms and then accusing every new casino that we have in this community. Some are even successful or what we call serial accuser to hostage casinos and black mailing them to give them their money.

But's let see about this case.
2  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Steady at $114K While Shutdown Looms on: Today at 12:56:09 PM
Bitcoin is holding around $114K despite a ~2% dip earlier. With the U.S. government shutdown risk tonight, volatility is on the table. Meanwhile, China launched its AxCNH yuan stablecoin in Kazakhstan, and the SEC is weighing blockchain-based stock trading.

I’m watching for either a BTC breakout above $117K or a pullback to $110K. Altcoins could rotate if BTC stays flat.

You must be prepared for all phases and not focus on one. If you were anticipating a Bitcoin price increase above $117,000, that's already past the current price. Your wait may be delayed beyond your expectations, due to Bitcoin's volatile price.
Still on the subject of price fluctuations, issues and events that directly impact market price fluctuations are unavoidable because they are related to investor confidence in making buying decisions.

By now it's obvious that the shutdown didn't bring any negative impact on the market. On the contrary we are going to almost touch again $120k. And that is the good sign that at least in the last 3 months who are still going to be in the bullish state as there are some who thought that the bear has taken over and so they are very negative about it. But some of us are still very positive so it's good to see that it has translated to what we are seeing today.

So let's see, I have said, $120k is very much possible for this month. As for the shutdown of the US government, I'm not that familiar with the history of US with regards to it's shutdown and what not. And I can only hope that the people behind are smart enough to not let politics goes in the way.
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Predicting and setting odds are not the same thing. on: Today at 12:09:31 PM
Odds can often be very confusing and people somehow decide on a favorite based on them, although as already said there are many different factors that can affect the final outcome. In the past, I often lost bets because I didn't take the weather into account when it came to outdoor sports, and rain or wind can often steer games in a completely different direction than they would have gone if the weather had been stable.

It wouldn't say it's confusing, on the contrary, it's very easy to read it, as it will just be based on who is the favorite and who is the underdog. It's just for outdoor sports though, but yeah, that could be one factor. But for most indoor games like the second favorite sports in the world like basketball it's non factor. And usually sports like football are being scheduled to be played in good condition or at least chances of weather affecting the game is put into consideration. But in any case, they are going to continue like in American football wherein even if there are snows and temperature going below 0, they are going to play the game no matter what.

However, we should always remember that none of us are prophets who can predict the outcome of any sporting event with certainty (unless it is rigged), and even if we could predict such a thing, sports betting would no longer be interesting at all, would it?

Very hard to predict the outcome, I might be speculating that the best sports bettor could be around 80% successful. There is one that is becoming famous right now as betting in the US football as his tips are really that good and his followers exploding to like from hundreds to 20,000 right now.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Back then, people gambled whole Bitcoins - imagine the value today on: Today at 11:33:50 AM
Do you think the players back then had no idea about the future value, or they just didn’t care?

It's very obvious mate that those early gamblers didn't know that the value will go thousands fold and they don't care about it. And that is why we said that gambling is the first use case of Bitcoin because of this.

And we it followed with giveaways and captcha solving that  give from 50 to hundreds of even thousands of Bitcoin.

But that is the our rich history, it's good to see and look back at this kind of stories. Maybe we can just laugh it right now or those who are involved early might regret it. However, no one really knows what the future hold and so we just move on with that and then just save as much Bitcoin as we can.

DeAndre Ayton looked good at his media day appearance.  I really think he is being underestimated as an addition to the Lakers.  His contract and abilities make him one hell of a pickup for them.  I think he was an underrated piece of the Suns championship run and as soon as he left they became terrible.  With him as a #4 option on the team, I think he will thrive this season.  He just needs to stay healthy and get a little more aggressive.  He's the perfect piece for the Lakers though, and I think they're 1 or 2 additions away from a championship roster.  Wiggins would address one of those missing pieces...

Yeah, but with the Suns, I think it's more of the coach to blame. It's obvious that he didn't like Ayton, maybe he was expecting big on him that time. But still he is one important piece as to why they reached the finals that time but just fell short against the Bucks.

But let's see with the Lakers, he has gained so much confidence when he left the Suns. And he will be the Center, so more playing time for him. And with players like Luka and Lebron who is know to be a lob passer, for sure Ayton will have a lot of time scoring from the assists and might blossom to be a good center next season.

New 50 FREE SPINS giveaway to celebrate the release of a new game. I'll be trying this new game in the next few hours, as there might be some interesting offers. The campaign payment has been received, so I'm allocating a percentage to try it out.

wbu, interested in playing it too?

Seems that Razed is a bit slower or late in adding new games from 3rd party provider because this game is available in most other casinos since few weeks ago.
Of course it is not that important, better to be late than not adding it at all Smiley I also do not really understand about the process of adding new games whether it is depending on a deal between the provider and the casino or it can be done as soon as the provider released a new game or not.

It could be, but it doesn't mean that they can't add this new games from a 3rd party provider. Maybe they have their own reasons behind why, perhaps they are working on it early by faces some hindrances.

Most important thing is that even if there are this games in some casinos, there could be gamblers that are loyal to them and that they are going to play it in Razed regardless if they are late or not.

And it's better to have this, than nothing, everyone can take a slice on the big pie, like Razed and other casinos.

If I'm not mistaken, it's inclusive in his contract that he shouldn't get overweight otherwise he might not get the perks included or the additional laid out in his contract. I think in the case of Lebron, yeah he is spending a lot in his body but I will say that it is also with his genetics that he was able to stay away from big injuries.

You can say that to even to John Stockton, who throughout in his career was not sideline by injuries. So there are also that factors that it's hard to measure as to why some players didn't get injured during their long careers but there are some that is very fragile.

It's all individual, because many factors can influence a player's susceptibility to injury. One of them is simply bad luck. Even a disciplined player who stays fit throughout their career can still get injured. It's obvious, but any player might suffer a serious injury just by slipping on a wet court or landing awkwardly on an opponent.

Yes, it could also play a role, but let's say we removed bad luck out of the equation, then we can say that generic has something to do with it. If you have a good DNA just like Lebron is, maybe his tendons and muscles are really solid and attach to each other, and then he has the money to throw and invest on his body, then that's what we are seeing in him right now as he was able to stay 20+ and continuing and still on his average ppg without any deterioration in his game.

And as for others who might had a bad DNA in them, they can't simply stand on the hard and pound of a 82 games. Like AD who are prone to injury and same as with Zion and other players in the past.
Those DNA can do some things, but as far as i know, most players are injured due to their routines, i can make an example for fisherman's who plays basketball, if you have experience to play with them, when you bump them guess who will fly you, their body were built different, its not the DNA its what they do daily, also they were running on the court every play, but their energy never goes down, meaning, if you are use to something, makes a lot of different, maybe players that got injured most often and star players are doing something more often than practice and play basketball, but Kobe Jordon and LeBron Stockton do lot more basketball thing, with health conditioning also.

That is the very basic definition of DNA as you have said, they might be fisherman, but their body is used to this kind of brutal that they could have inherit it from their father, to their father's father as being a fisherman is passes down to generations.

Health conditioning will come along as well. Again if you have bad genetics, maybe after a few round you get tired and you are not build for that kind of endurance. That's why there are great college players too that when they entered the NBA, they've exposed as doesn't have the body to play and it could also be attributed to bad genes.

9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin still king of crypto gambling, or have stablecoins taken the crown? on: September 27, 2025, 10:25:36 PM
In the past, Bitcoin gambling was huge, some even say it’s what made crypto popular in the first place. Instant bets, no banks, and privacy.

But now with KYC everywhere, BTC doesn’t really give that privacy edge anymore. Add the price swings, and stablecoins (USDT, USDC, etc.) start to look more practical for gamblers.

So what do you think - is Bitcoin still the king of crypto gambling, or have stablecoins already replaced it?

I wouldn't say that stable coins has taken the crown, but the good news is that we have a lot a lot of choices now, not just Bitcoin. Because in the beginning, it was all about Bitcoin and we all just needed a Bitcoin address for withdrawal and deposits. But as casinos expanding and then a opening a lot of options specially during the time that Bitcoin has a exorbitant fees, then most of us might have shift to stable coins.

But now the mempool is not that clogged, heck even a 0-1 sat/vB is possible to used, majority of us could have shift back to Bitcoin already when playing. But still though, as I have said, stable coins will be their as options no matter what.

11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin hits $150k by year ending? on: September 27, 2025, 09:30:17 PM
Bitcoin has been moving strong this year, and some people think it might hit $150K by year ending, irrespective of the recent fluctuation. Do you believe it can really get there, or it's just hype?

Anything is possible with bitcoin but with the recent move in the market that saw it trading below $110K caused a lot of fear and panic in the market. If not for the much hope many of this holders had for Bitcoin, I don’t think most of them will still be holding to see what will be of the market after the very much fall in the price of the market. Hype in the market is part of what moves the price of the market and as for Bitcoin, it goes just beyond this hypes but other things that makes the market to move.

Yes, others say that we might be already in the bear market as the price suddenly goes down very hard and so panic and fear to the investors. Although I still think that we are still in the bullish sentiments and this could be just another test for Bitcoin holders not to sell and push the button.

I’m still not convinced that the market will reach $150K after this fall but anything is possible with Bitcoin which makes one still become much more sceptical about it, whether to hold on longer or to actually sell now. We are still some months to the end of the year, anything can happen within the last three months. So if Bitcoin reclaims its momentum back before that time and gets back on the bullish trend, we may see it reaching $150K but for now it’s not showing that features.

We shall see what the market will offer in the last 3 months. Let's say that we keep our positive attitude as we don't know what the future holds. Maybe there will ne a big news that will finally bring the confidence back in the market for a $150k.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in a Responsible Way is Beneficial on: September 26, 2025, 10:55:50 PM
We see that gambling, if done responsibly, can be very beneficial to individuals, from personal enhancement, mood betterment and relaxation to social and economic benefits.  I experienced it myself, did you? Do you have any positive experience with gambling that help you in any way?

For me it's more on relaxation, but you have to understand that you should gamble what you can afford to lose in the first place to take advantage of the benefits of gambling. There were times that some of my family members are going to play at the same time with the minimum bet in the house.

And so it will be very noisy. When someone like hits a bonus round, then we will be behind the back cheering him to get some good pay and big multiplier. Or sometimes we are going to tease or mock each other like kids. So at some point gambling is like a bonding time for us.  Grin
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs Uisma Lima – Oct 11, Philly (WBA Eliminator) on: September 26, 2025, 09:15:08 PM

Do you think Ennis can dominate at 154 the same way he did at welterweight? Or will Lima surprise him?


I'm sure he can; that's only a few pounds added to his body, based on what I saw in his previous matches. He can add more muscles and be comfortable fighting in the next weight division, which is the Junior Middleweight.

Ennis is underrated in the welterweight division because he has not fought credible opponents in that division. I don't think Lima can offer any resistance against Ennis, but this is a good fight for Ennis now that he is in the Junior Middleweight division. I love to see him fight for the title.

I love seeing him challenge Fundora for the title; both fighters are dangerous and at the peak of their careers.

Maybe one reason is that the current division is very weak, that's why there are no money fights for him. He is still chasing Crawford at 147-154 lbs. But we all know that Crawford is too big now, in terms of popularity. And he said that he doesn't want to fight Ennis, not that he is afraid, but there are no rewards for him.

He might have bulk up because he was the sparring partner of Alvarez. Yes, I do agree, him and Fundora will be a great match and we will see if Boots is the real deal fighting champions or even the likes of Vergil Ortiz.

But let's see if he can go and beat Lima to make his stock grow a little.
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: $BTC is back testing the $109K–110K zone. on: September 26, 2025, 08:39:19 PM
Those 4 years cycle was already broken. The current price movement is already doesn’t follow that cycle imho.
Not true. Just put the charts one over the other and the price still largely follows the trend from the previous cycle. September was not a good month, the following months were good.

Based on the second cycle, there was a short term with this date and then the price surge after next few months. It's not yet broken, to be precise, we don't know what will happen in the next few months.
The next months have to be bearish for the cycle to be broken or the other options is that we don't enter a new bear market in 2026. The second thing is an emerging possibility with the ETFs and institutional investors. That would be a positive change though.

I think I will have to agree with you, it's not yet broken, although we have a new ATH prior to the halving, we still need to see what the next three months will bring. And if we are already in the bear market and hit the peak at $123k-$124k then that could be the end of the bull run.

So it was just like in 2017, we had the ATH at December, then 2021 when we had it at October.

But this year, it's much earlier because of the pre-halving ATH, but still follows the 4 year cycle.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2025 NBA Season on: September 26, 2025, 11:19:41 AM
Zion could last longer in a season but he doesn't even come close to taking care of his body. He has all that extra weight destroying his joints in his legs. Losing weight is only 1 part of the journey he needs to complete to even think about being active for a whole season. He needs to hire a fitness coach as well and get his muscles into shape.

Look at Lebron James and how long he has been in the NBA. He's over 40 and still dominates, why? He spends over a million dollars a year on his body.
https://lakersnation.com/does-lebron-james-really-spend-1-5-million-per-year-on-his-body/

Whether the number is true or not, the point is he does spend a large amount to get in and stay in shape. Zion probably spends $5000 on his body and it's not on fitness or exercise, it's on cheeseburgers on some dumb shit.

I don't know how much Zion loves fast food and how often he places orders like Big Smoke at the drive-thru, but the fact is that his injury proneness is related to being overweight. You're right that it puts a lot of strain on the legs, especially with such a busy schedule as in the NBA.
As for LeBron, it's worth noting that it's not just how much a player spends on fitness, proper nutrition, trainers, etc., but above all, discipline and motivation that matter here.

If I'm not mistaken, it's inclusive in his contract that he shouldn't get overweight otherwise he might not get the perks included or the additional laid out in his contract. I think in the case of Lebron, yeah he is spending a lot in his body but I will say that it is also with his genetics that he was able to stay away from big injuries.

You can say that to even to John Stockton, who throughout in his career was not sideline by injuries. So there are also that factors that it's hard to measure as to why some players didn't get injured during their long careers but there are some that is very fragile.

Yeah, Jake Paul happens to be just one amongst many others who’s jumped into the gambling scenes and we can’t deny the fact that is it actually a profitable one. But from an honest perspective, this whole influencer gambling thing that has now become a trend is more of a double edged sword. From one side, it’s actually a smart move that they’ve capitalized on it but on the other side, if we check very well, we’ll see or observe that a lot of their audience are usually younger people and they end up having the wrong perspective about gambling, seeing it like one glamorous business, without actually realizing or acknowledging the risks that are involved.

I don't think that influencer look at it that way and we can say that they don't have moral compass. Just imagine the likes of Edin Ross losing millions in just a couple of minutes playing roulette. If they are in the right frame of mind then they wouldn't go down that kind of lifestyle.

So just like Jake Paul here, he has become so big in the last 4 years that everything he touches turns into gold. But it doesn't mean he has someone to be look at a a good example. In this current generation, it's all about the money that you can make and not thinking of influencing younger people.
17  Economy / Economics / Re: The Vicious Cycle of Poverty on: September 25, 2025, 10:38:06 PM
A person can never escape this cycle unless he/ she invests. Remember, you can't invest what you don't have or what you haven't saved. Saving is just as important too. Investments in one's education, health, finances, and so on, is what takes a person out of this cycle of poverty.
I agree of what you highlight here OP about the importance of investing. But let's not open the idea of people working with high paying jobs, they don't have to invest and that's the next thing for them to do on how they can escape poverty. They have the money and the management depends on them. It's true that saving and investing are important for a person to get out of poverty and people think that it's hard to do because it actually is. It requires a lot of patience and delayed gratitude for people to reach that and get out of the rat race.
Anybody that want to escape from poverty must be ready to save money for investment. Majority of the millionaires we are seeing today have one time or the other save money for investment purposes. This is not a science rocket where a person will be looking for ways on how to save money. Poverty is not something everyone should be against but most time it is due to the poor ideas of a person without making sure they invest what they have so they can make money in the near future. It is better you are poor today and you are able to save money and find your way out of poverty.

But that it contradictory, how can someone save money when you are in poverty? Those millionaires are built differently, maybe they really have the money to invest in the beginning. Or if they don't have the money, maybe they have a benefactor.

So it's very hard for the poverty people to just turn back their lives and become self made millionaire. Unless you start a illegal business, just to be honest. But if you start with fair and square, gonna take a lot from you to succeed in life.
18  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is BITCOIN going to rise still, or will it later go down on: September 25, 2025, 09:56:54 PM
I think if one wants to know where the price of Bitcoin will go, they would look into the S&P500 quarterly earning requirements and how MSTR will be reporting Q3 earnings. Was the balance sheet adjustment we saw last quarter a one time thing, or do the S&P500 requirements look at year over year quarterly earnings? I suspect the lack of earnings this quarter will not be good for their inclusion chances… We would need a massive pump right now and it seems like the market is out of gas.

I'm not sure about the S&P,  but I will have to agree that somewhat, money is not on the Bitcoin market right now, or at least the crypto market. There must be a compelling reasons why investors just pulled out their money on the crypto market.

Or are there big entities trying to manipulate the price. We will only know the reason behind after everything has settled down. Hopefully, this is not going to be the sign of a bear market already as we are about to enter October. And just like last bull run, October was the peak so we might have some gas left to push for next month to at least $120k++.

I complained because I had zero wins and my account was banned. hahaha
very bad site dont put your money here

Another newbie looking for ways to accuse casinos of not making profits lol. Can you show your proof that you have used razed.com before? At least you need to show us games you staked that did not ended in winning too. My advise for you is to bet on games you have a high luck of winning when you play them.

You don't have to keep complaining about your loses when you know that nobody forced you to gamble. Please, always gamble with what you know you can afford so in case you finally lose the bet. No casino is responsible for your losses. Let that stick between your balls.

Or maybe try to hostage and then demand that Razed give his money back, otherwise there will be a scam accusations against them. And that has been the "weapon" of this newbies Or maybe they are not newbies anymore but players that try to game the casinos.

Perhaps it was just out of luck that you have zero wins. And maybe there are reasons why Razed ban your account. Casinos are not going to banned any of their customers if not for violation of ToS.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When Gambling Apps Got Unlinked From GCash/Maya – My Experience in PH on: September 25, 2025, 11:24:28 AM
I’m curious if anyone else here experienced the same thing. Did your gambling habits change when the easy cash-in options disappeared? Or do you think it’s just a temporary inconvenience until people adjust?
I don’t think my habits has really changed, I just shifted over to using crypto, and tbh it turned out to be even more convenient than the old cash-in methods like GCash and Maya. So for me, it wasn’t that huge of a hassle. If anything, it more like streamlined the process. I get that some people has slowed down at first because of the hassle, but I feel like it’s just temporary. Once people figure out there's a lot of alternatives and get comfortable with them, they’ll adjust pretty quickly I guess.

Yes, I do agree, it doesn't change a thing, as long as you have the internet access and you know what crypto base websites you play or even fiat based then you can gamble as long as you want. It's good thing to hear that the Philippines as per the hearing on this and Senators ordering those e-wallets to removed or unlink gambling and they follow it.

However, I don't know if it affected gambling in the Philippines because there are two ways that I'm seeing it,

1. go on underground and play on illegal sites
2. those gambling sites have apps of their own so they will just have to download it and play like nothing happens and uses their e-wallets to deposit.
