I think it would make more sense if you add a few examples of these threads you’re referring to, because from what I can see there are lots of discussion threads here in gambling board, the only issue here is the rate at which threads of the same topic are being created.

Remember that there’s gambling board and gambling discussion board, for the gambling board we have so many Ann threads there (I’ll assume that’s what you’re referring to) and if you check those threads you’ll still be able to see so many discussions to engage in and learn from.

It’s actually a stupid move if you ask me, rather than risk your funds by using a site that has the document of a different person I’d simply just advise that you look for casinos that won’t demand for kyc and also allows the use of VPN. There are other ways around the restrictions without having to involve yourself in buying of KYCed account which in the long run would make you lose your money to the casino.

Incase you don’t know, sites like stake.com ask users that are already kyc verified to re-verify their account and if you happen to be one of those people who get asked to reverify their account you’ll be stuck and if you happen to have any funds in that account that would be the end of it since you won’t be able to submit the same documents that were used to verify their account account since you bought the account.

Liverpool definitely have an edge over Chelsea, slight edge by the way but I just didn’t feel like going with them because I think Chelsea is going to turn the tables and come out victorious. As much as I would have loved to see them lose this game, I just had to overlook that desire to them lose and favour them for the sake of the contest. I am not expecting some sort of miracle play from them that’s the reason why I just went with 1-0.

@gunhell16, I’m mentioning you just incase you’re also interested in predicting the time of first goal and exact score, there’s one that’s active you can also take part in it along the bitcoin price prediction contest.

I’d like to dwell on these last two questions because we’ve already been discussing the others for quite sometime now. For the transparency about the risk associated with gambling addiction, I don’t think these companies are being transparent about it, in most of the ads they do they rarely include any information about th risk associated with it and we all know that those ads are working wonders for them as it usually showcase how people can easily win millions from just a few bucks meanwhile the reality is very different from that illustration.

As for the contents displayed to young people I think they should be some kind of restriction, every contents posted only should have some kind of protection and as long as it contains certain content it shouldn’t be allowed to be displayed to those who are not yet of age - and those content creators found breaking this rule should be punished and that will prevent younger ones from viewing ads about gambling on their social media platforms.

Old generations are still very much watching and enjoying sports, and the same goes for new generations and even newer ones to come and as long as sport itself doesn’t go out of style then I don’t see anyway sport betting would go out of style.

A lot of people who bet on sports, do so or started it because of their involvement in the actual game. Myself included, I switched from casino games to sport when I finally started watching some certain sports and whenever I bet on a game (irrespective of the amount) and it goes as I had predicted, there’s this feeling of satisfaction and excitement that comes from it and that’s why I keep betting on sport till this day.

You don’t owe anyone anything and if I refuse to give them money to Jamel they have not right to come to me and complain, if they can’t even afford to fund their account then it’s clear that they have a bigger problem than just gambling, they need to fix their life.

I don’t know the kind of relationship you had with him that made him come to your with that kind of request but I know for sure that no one is going to approach me and then demand for money to find their gambling account, they might try other means like try to lie about what they intend to do with the money but not come directly and tell me that they need money to gamble.

And if anyone happened to approach me, and I refused his/her request I’m 2000% sure that they’ll never in their life time come and face me to complain, I’m not working for anyone so I don’t owe them a dime.

It’s just stress, and I think his gambling activities might have contributed to it. If you’re among th few gamblers who doesn’t stress over their gambling activities or who use minimum amount to bet then you really wouldn’t feel any impact on your health or appearance wise, he might be looking unkempt because of what I mentioned before (stress) or because of other life challenges that he might be facing but just doesn’t want to share with anyone.

There are lots of things that if not handled properly can lead to deteriorating health and a strong healthy person would start to look sickly within a very short period of time.

Gambling without loss of money or that you won’t use your money to play, is the same as just playing games. According to stats on profitable gamblers I don’t think something like this exists, if you are referring to people who are only using the demo feature to play then it’s no different from kids or youths playing video games just that theirs is now being done in a gambling site.

I don’t know if others are of a different opinion but I do strongly believe that nothing like this exists, it’s the emotional strain and stress that comes with losing money or the emotions of wanting to chase after what you’ve lost that contributes to gambling addictions making it difficult to overcome and if that’s not available and the games are just being played like that it would be too boring for anyone to stay long enough to get addicted to it.

The one you described sounds like a sport betting tipsters, which I usually considered as scammers because if truly your tips were correct and you have been winning for a long time with a win rate of up to 80% you wouldn’t even need to come out and start putting pennies as the price tag of your so called tips.

Mine is plinko, although there are people who still claim that they have signals for casino games (which is obviously a scam) - this specific example I’m using is a user on X than usually posts plinko all the time with some insane multipliers and this is the same game that will run your entire bankroll dry before you even manage to hit a high multiplier.

If you go to X you’ll see lots of sponsored videos like this, still by stake and if you check the comments you’ll then realise that a lot of gamblers don’t know what’s going on in the gambling space, because how they heck do you see someone post more than 5 images of them hitting x1,000 on plinko more than 3 times and yet you’re saying that they should give them tips on how that user managed to hit that amount.

Before I use any gambling I usually go through their reviews on sites that actual people make reviews on and not those bots generated reviews or those paid reviews you see everywhere, because of that I don’t use any site that’s not here in Bitcointalk (apart from my local casino) or altcoinstalks, because here you’ll see people who have used the site and have first hand experience of the site so you’d get to know a little from there.

Another criteria is the duration they have been in the gambling space, I know that this isn’t a reliable factor because a lot of old sites have switched from being good to being shitty overnight and we have betnomi as an example, so if they are here and have been providing good service for a long time without any issues or having minimal issues or complaint, then I won’t feel any hesitation to recommend or use them, just like coinroyale.com.

I think this should be a case by case study, because there are people who till date don’t know or still think that they are just a regular gamblers meanwhile in reality they are chronic gamblers and can’t even go a day without gambling and if they don’t have money to fund their account they’ll go to the extent of selling off their assets to get gambling money. There are people like that and also there are people who instantly feels weird by the way they are beginning to handle their gambling activities.

The first set of gamblers, find it very difficult to get out of gambling themselves because they don’t even know that they are addicted to it, and if you tell them they’ll start doubting you until something else happens that will convince them to see that they are truly addicted to it. While the second set can easily get out of the addiction because they know their problem and with a little determination they’ll get rid of the addiction.

There are lots of people out there who usually gets addicted to things easily, they might be able to do other things without getting addicted to it but once they start a certain activity they’ll get addicted in a very short time and because of that I really don’t disagree with what your post is saying.

I have seen people who got addicted to drinking or smoking after just taking their first shot or after smoking once, and now they can’t do without cigarettes or alcoholic drinks. The same also happens in gambling, some could just go there to gamble or try it out and before they know what’s happening they’ll see theirself going everyday just to gamble and that’s usually how addiction starts.

I’d say it’s an innovation and not an exploitation, I don’t see anything bad in that. We should keep in mind that gambling is just a business, and if a business implements something to help them get more customers which in turn increases their revenue, I don’t see anything wrong in that.

If I’m being honest, I don’t think I have seen any other business that has this implemented in their system and I’d like to see it spread to other businesses too especially banking services because there are lots of times when you’ll get stuck because you don’t have data and you need to access your banking app to make a transaction - businesses like that should also take a look at this and make good use of it.

I think mine has lead me to more losses than wins, because there are games where I know that a certain team won’t play well due to their previous performances, but then my instincts would kick in and suggest I support them because sometimes an underdog can win a game and despite all stats saying that there is a very low chance of that happening I’ll still pick it and at the end of the game it will be the stats that would be right and my instinct would be wrong.

I have lost a couple of games and now I don’t even bother to change game even if my mind is telling me to change it because I have done it a couple of times and I think I have regretted most of them.

The painful thing is that most gamblers still haven’t realized that this whole bonuses of a thing is usually a trap, they tend to look out for the ones with the highest percentage bonuses without bothering to check the wagering requirements.

I don’t even bother to look at deposits bonuses anymore because like you said it’s just a waste of time, they’ll just use it to waste your money while giving you hope that you’d be able to get 200% of what you deposited if you can just meet an outrageous requirement.

I’m curious these guys are they facing kind of punishment? Or is their position allowed to participate in gambling activities? I know for certain that some government officials are frowned upon when they take part in gambling activities let alone go and spend as high as $350,000 in a single week in gambling.

I think it’s high time I started chasing a little position even if it’s not too high so me too can still gamble away a huge amount without feeling too much pressure since I’ll be gambling government money.

I think I am among the few people who have been lucky enough to have never bet an amount that’s more than what we can afford to lose, although, when I started gambling I got too immersed in it to the point that I became addicted to it.

Around that time I said to myself that I was going to stop gambling and I did for sometime until I gained control back and then resumed gambling and up till this day I don’t think I have played like an addict again. I know this doesn’t really follows what you asked but it’s still part of those “never again” moment for me.

I think for most people is it’s usually “frustration” I know this might sound a bit off from what other people have said but if some gamblers go to a site and then play for a long time without having good wins some times they’ll think that the system is rigged and even if it’s a provably system they’ll be too frustrated to even believe it and would want to switch to a different system.

That’s one of the reasons, others could be boredom - there are people who usually want to explore and check out what other sites are doing and that could lead to them switching to a different platform despite loving it at the beginning.
