Can you explain me why i need to learned gambling?

Simply put, here only millions of money are managed by asset owners, so where i have no money. In fact, i have ideas about gambling, but I don't have the ability to spend money there.
Well I don't think learning gambling is must and beside I don't don't think gambling should be learnt  but rather practiced and there are several sites with demos where you can practice and have some fun when doing so before diving in with real money.
Gambling  should be done only with money one is willing to lose and if there is no money you're willing to lose,  then there is no need trying  to gamble as there might alot of regrets at the end if the day.

After reading your post, it's pretty evident that gambling isn't for you op since you are clearly not willing to lose your funds. If you still insist on gambling, you will end up regretting your decision badly.

Lol this was too raw and I never wanted to say this straight to him but I couldn't stop laughing  because I have this strange feeling that things wouldn't end well for op if he still has this mentality  without changing  it anytime soon.
Op if you must gamble,  then you must be ready to accept loss without having to chase after them.
4282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 09, 2023, 08:31:22 PM
Now let's be sincere, will you also classify a successful gambler as an addict?
Addiction is those who are into gambling and have a bad result from it but if you are winning and more serious about gambling, then we cannot say that as addiction. Many are trying their luck with gambling and once they are able to find it, they become more active until it became their daily activities. Maybe its a positive addiction since it brings money most of the time and if a gambler are more capable for this, then there should be no wrong and we should not call them addict.
Wow I've gotten a great message from here that we have two types of addiction in gambling which is the positive and the negative  addiction 🙃
So now anyone who is making  some good money from gambling and taking it very serious then is a positive addiction and anyone who is losing without control is already getting into negative addiction  and now money is the determinant of morals and that's very wrong.
Op has made me have a very deep thought and I think an addict is addict irrespective  if your financial status.
I don't think successful gamblers are seen as addicts because for one to attain the height of success, such a person must have  been food with money management and should be knowledgeable and wise enough to when his getting addict and when to pause and take a  real off it.
4283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your rate in betting base on odds alone? on: July 08, 2023, 09:00:12 PM

I'm hoping to make more BTC so the more bets from now on the more chances of winning. I think that's what I'm going to do now before the bull run takes full speed.
Regardless of which game. To me, I bet on Soccer but I seem to have lost every day. How often do you win in Soccer games if you just bet based on odds by picking a team with 1.50 and 1.70?

Soccer betting is more popular than other sports since it is more understood. Even when it comes to betting, people still like to put a wager under soccer. I understand how younger people can win;D I think you should be careful how you set up your games because sometimes if you lack patience, it will be challenging for you to win. I've also noticed that when you rush, you win and you keep winning in the hopes of winning, which is when addiction sets in. Even though I play for fun, it's not always simple to win even when I do.
In as much as soccer is one of the widely known games, that doesn't place any guaranty on it and there was a thread here where someone lost a whopping sum of about  one million 400 thousand america dollars on a 1.4 odd game and that was an eye opener that no game is too small  and regardless  of the odd and how sure we might be about a game, we should always try our best to have a good risk management strategy  that will always keep us in market irrespective  of the losses  because always are always in control  of all we do.
4284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between futures trading and gambling on: July 08, 2023, 08:28:37 PM
Gambling and trading are not similar. There are quite a few differences between gambling and futures trading in terms of type. In gambling, money is completely put at risk so the gambler gives up hope of that money. There are chances of winning and losing the bet money. The amount of money a gambler will win or lose on a bet can be determined in advance. in addition trading is basically speculative. There the gambler can have no preconceived notion of profit or loss. Futures trading is also risky as it is highly volatile. Although some consider gambling and futures trading similar in terms of risk but they are different.
I was reading your response  with so much keen interest hoping to see the difference  between gambling  and futures  but I didn't see you mention any difference between them and I don't know if I'm wrong.
To the best of my knowledge,  I've always seen trading in general  and gambling as one and I personally  will always chose trading above gambling because I think I feel more secure and at some points, I have to use the money received from trading to gamble and thats to say that i would see trading as a major job and see gambling  as a side hustle.
4285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 08, 2023, 07:58:46 PM
To break free from the cycle of losses, the gambler has to gamble qualitatively. Have a budget, set a time frame for gambling and do not go above your budget or the time you have allocated to gambling. Have other outdoor habits too. These are the starting points or the baby steps that should be taken to break free from the cycle of losses.

Your solution would be helpful to gamblers but will be hard for gamblers to do, gamblers are known for gambling continuously without taking break. It isn't the best practice but still gamblers do it with hopes of winning as they believe the more they gamble the higher their chances.

Exactly mate, it is always very difficult  for a gambler to implement having a budget and I always have to relate gamblers to traders in this very space because it is very difficult for a day trader to have a daily budget as it is always believed that the more he or she trades, the more chances they have to win and that also applies to what a daily gambler believes especially those of them that play virtual soccer.

Addiction is already a very wide issue we're  still battling in the gambling industry and one major reason that leads to addiction is chasing after losses and is should be a gospel to ne preached against.
4286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What attracted you to gambling?Share your experience whether good/bad. on: July 08, 2023, 07:48:41 PM
About yesterday I came across a friend looking so depressed and sad and tried to interrogate with him then he said he felt like giving up in life and i asked why, he said he used about 80% of his savings to stake on a particular football game and lost, I felt so pity for him and had to encourage him with some advices.

His very lucky  he still has about 20% in his savings to still star with. I know how situation like this  can demoralized someone especially  if the money lost was expected to be used for something else and ended up been lost in gambling  anders just imagine him.starting afresh again, meh thats awhole lot to make someone give up but brings is worth a life and the fact that you lost is a lesson and we should rather build from those lessons than let them weigh us down.

The major thing that has attracted me most to gambling is the fact that it give me the leisure and pleasure to earn flexibly without having to work from 8am to 5pm regular job.
4287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: July 08, 2023, 06:54:12 PM

Only a mentally strong person who has control over emotions and have money management skills would be the real winner here and will become rich eventually.

This basically isn't just in the gambling industry  alone, because it takes a mentally stable individual with a good money management skills to be able to succeed in life generally.
I will always say that people should rather work on their greed and contentment level and it is also true that money, wealth and power is never satisfactory but we should always get to know when to stop and when to play and we should.also learn to appreciate every win as a win rather than wanting to make millions from  bets made in hundreds.
Greed and contentment  are two great factors that shoukd be considered when we want to make positive growth while gambling.
4288  Economy / Gambling / Re: Whats happening with Betnomi? on: July 08, 2023, 06:12:46 PM
Some users already reported that they received their pending withdrawals. But the website has been down for almost a week now. I wondered how they proceed with withdrawals while the website is being maintained. Maybe some team members are working on the backend, but the process is slow. Some angry players are raging for their funds.

I don't think Icopress has anything to say regarding this since he awaits their answer. Whatever is happening, at least they should announce that we are doing something and we will be back in (ETA). This does not look to me. I hope I am wrong.
Well I'm already feeling skeptical about this whole issue and i think it is taking so long than expected and the fact that people already reported  that they receive  their pending withdrawals is a good news and hope from their end but they should  at least make a post on their thread to keep the hope of their players who are already growing impatient and we wouldn't  have to blame them, we all know how gambling winnings goes  because no one wants their money to be held.
If you are going to take your website down for maintenance, then you should inform all your customers about this before proceeding.
I think they Informed their customers  through their sites but their patients couldn't hold any longer as the process was taking too longer than expected.
Op receiving his money was a clear evidence that the company is working and hoping to get everything fixed from my personal observations.
4289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: July 08, 2023, 05:52:38 PM

Good marketing skills must be possessed by someone who wants to become an affiliate of a site. And not many people have that ability. Some time ago, I followed an influencer on his social media, he was a person who rose because of some of his joke content. After a while I followed him, and when I saw the stories he made on his social media, I found out that he was also an influencer promoting a gambling site, and I noticed he was getting a lot of new users. One of the things he did was that when someone won on the site he was promoting he made a new user win through his story too, well from there I saw that it was a form of strategy he did by taking advantage of someone's victory, indirectly some people might be more interested and register on the references he spread.
Yes, I have seen some of the influencers who also promote their own referral code and at the same time give new users who register on the casino using their affiliate code some bonuses and this has really promoted them and at the same time earn them a huge commission.

But then we must know that an affiliate program comes with a lot of tasks because sometimes for you to be able to earn a good amount in your affiliate commission you need to have wagered and also those who registered with your referral code need to have wagered a lot during the space of time.
I guess op thinks claiming referral  bonuses  are impossible but the truth is that they are actually possible  to claim but it all depends in how much gamblers you know and how much community of people you have and I've also seen some online commendy skits where comedians display their referral  links and codes and always make adverts with them and I believe  they should getting some engagements from that too and you should know that It must have taken a while lot of effort to grow such pages
I've always been on the stand that referral  bonuses  on gambling is always very tasking and anyone getting involved should be ready to do the work.

I know of how hard or easy it will be for  Anthony Joshua to KO Whyte in this match because i believe this is a rematch and a chance for whyte to right his wring with also capitalizing on the changes Anthony Joshua I've got now and I also though I was the only one who  noticed the changes with Anthony Joshua but regardless  of this, I don't think Anthony  will be willing to leave any stone unturned as he might still want to maintain his name.
I've been a great fan of Anthony  Joshua  but I don't think this match would be an easy one for either of them and if Anthony isn't careful and take this match gently,  then he shouldn't be surprised  if he losses to Whyte.
4291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game Winner Result Changed After 24 hours (Defaulted) on: July 07, 2023, 10:17:22 PM
There are supposed to be profits as well as losses  in a business  and the casino isn't exempted  on this losses.
Rather than wanting to deduct this winnings which is already settled, why not count it as loss and if the casino can easily just temper with my betting balance without getting permissions from me then, I wouldn't have to see them or consider them as trustworthy because every civilized person is supposed to follow due process and not just temper with a winning that was already settled to me.

If they already making withdrawals from accounts with available balance,  then what happens to those accounts that the withdrawal  has already been made ?
4292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Olympic Games, but doping is allowed?! on: July 07, 2023, 10:09:57 PM
I don't think the idea of wanting to beat all previous records of winning through performance enhancement drugs is a good one because i don't aso think anyone will accept this results except there is a category  for this kind  of winnings.
And I see this as not right for the Olympics to consider this kind of games and it's  results because I believe that just as our faces and body stature are different,  same thing also applies  to our body system and how it absorbs things because it might take another person 2 hours for a drug to get activated while it might take another person lesser or longer time to activate same drugs  and I believe  when judging this results, it will be based on the dosage given forgetting this setback I mentioned above, hence I'm not in favour that the Olympics support this kind of sport.
4293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 07, 2023, 09:39:03 PM
Everybody should not quit gambling because they hate it. Gambling is not a profession; it's not an ideal means of making money. Whoever gambles for fun will not think of quitting. Even those who see it as a means of earning money will not stop gambling because they believe that's what can fetch them quick cash. The least likely people to quit gambling are those who have become so addicted to it that they are doing crazy things (like picking pockets, borrowing money, etc.) just to gamble, but it's even more difficult to convince an addict to stop gambling.



Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺
Bitter truth.
No one will easily stop gambling because someone else don't like it, there are people who have been disowned by their families  because of gambling and Invariably this persons abandoned by their family choosed gambling over their families and that's a clear sign of how addictive gambling can be and it's  not ending anything soon.
Alot of people take gambling beyond fun and there are people who live their lives from winnings from gambling and it will definitely  for such persons  to quit gambling.
Irrespective  of the class of gamblers we fall, it is always difficult to quit gambling  knowing  fully well that it can fetch us money without much physical effort.

The casino have no real players left
They even put fake giveaways at giveaway.com with no end date so the chat in the site is full with people from that fake giveaways wanting a code but they will never get it ( i was a player and joined the giveaway too fulfilled the deposit one but never got anything)
Probably the site is dead rarely a real player
Fake vip program too whatever you aarn there you should wager it for 70times.  On games 5% + esge other games will multiply the wager requirement.

Not sure why anyone want to play there anymore
I guess someone is already having a bad time with another casino and I hope your case gets looked into before you get out of control and based on all you've said, it will be better if you get some evidence and proves to your claims so as to give people more clue to what you claimed happened.

@op 6 months is a hell lot of time to keep waiting for a resolution  and from the look of things,  it seems the investigation isn't done directly by the company  but a third party because if it was to be done by the casino then it wouldn't take upto such long wait depending  on what case they might be investigating.
@op it seems you already got the needed answers and solutions you desired and it wouldn't be a bad idea if you lock this thread now.
4295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: July 07, 2023, 09:16:40 PM
Before diving into the nuts and bolts, the idea of "easy" passive income from casino affiliations appears appealing. After all, the casino is not some kind of charitable organisation that gives money to its partners as a gesture of kindness. Instead, its a complex enterprise in which the winners typically come from the losers. This skewed perspective colours the whole thing in a cynical light.

In addition, initiatives like token purchasing water down the casino experience. By diversifying its revenue streams away from its original business model - gambling -the casino risks becoming little more than a commodity in the long term. A casino isnt supposed to be like that, right?

Last but not least, casinos are within their rights to stop providing players with some profitable services. Its simple to label them as traitors, but perhaps they're just doing what has to be done to ensure their own survival. Its just the harsh truth of the cutthroat economic world, not a betrayal.
On the issue of affiliate program and commission it's left for the casino to make the final decision as for who get what and how much since the percentage commission are calculated and distributed by the casino itself,  so if a gambler want to earn a good referral commission,  he must be ready to engage multiple people under him so that his individual percentage earning can come in multiple fold and sources.

Casinos that go into token development have faced a lot of set back and this set back are triggered by a lot of factors and unavailability of an exiting ecosystem and low volume have affected them a lot.


Referral  bonuses aren't no players entitlement  and it's a form of promotions and since the gambling  company is in business, you don't expect them to pump in money into what wouldn't be beneficial and if the Referral  bonuses isn't beneficial to the casino then they will definitely  seek a  way to stop it and channel such energy into something more profitable. I've always known that claiming this Referral  bonuses wouldn't be an easy idea and that's why I don't even have to bother myself claiming  them  because I know  I'm not good with marketing and I don't also have a circle of gamblers neither do I have a community of persons who would want to take any gambling advice from me so I had to let chasing after Referral bonuses slip.
4296  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to Know the Next PEPE on: July 05, 2023, 12:44:39 PM
That's why many people are hesitant to invest in meme coins and for a short term it is acceptable actually,
the risk is big and there is a safer option which is to invest in Bitcoin or other top coins,
there are many examples of meme coins that end up being nothing.

Memecoins are very dangerous to invest into because they're more volatile than Bitcoin and other altcoins that aren't memecoins. Memecoins can pump and dump very fast and if you're not actively monitoring the market, you might miss out on a good chance of selling and be left with worthless tokens that you don't know if it can pump again.
It'll be very difficult to know the next pepecoin because before you get to know about the memecoins, it would had already increase multiple times. Instead of looking for the next memecoins you can use this opportunity that the market is very down to buy altcoins that has lost so much value but has potential of pumping in the future.
If you want to risk your money you can be active on crypto twitter to see what's trending as new coins like memecoins starts to trend and from there more investors get to know about the project and invest in it. Many projects are scam so you have to be cautious unless you'll lose your money to scammers that create this scam memecoins.

Scam, death both have in altcoins market so why you want investing altcoins?
My opinion buy dip and sold faster on some profits like to be best revenge for all altcoins investors!
What's your skills and opinion? 

Altcoins are very important in the market because they give us an alternative to investing in the cryptocurency market than just investing in bitcoin. Some days Bitcoin loses its high volatility as there's no movement in the price that gives investor good profits but altcoins can give good profits in those months and that's why they're important.
Altcoins also bring many things to the industry like how Ethereum brought smart contract that has been used in building many decentralized applications and other altcoins has things they're working on that Bitcoin can't do. Bitcoin is only a currency but altcoins have different functions that make the industry very interesting.
Stablecoin which is also an altcoins helps us in keeping the profits we have made from the market very secured. Without stablecoin it would had been hard to keep profits we made. Many exchange could have found it difficult to get approval to use fiat currency but with stablecoin that are on the blockchain, it makes it easier for them.
4298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What tips you will give to a new investor to identify scam projects early ? on: July 05, 2023, 10:03:52 AM
Some specific signs that newbies can spot in scam projects early are:

Unrealistic promises of high returns or guaranteed profits
Lack of transparency or verifiable information about the team, the technology, or the roadmap
Fake endorsements from celebrities, influencers, or reputable organizations
High pressure tactics to invest quickly or miss out on a limited opportunity
Poor grammar, spelling, or design on the website, whitepaper, or social media posts

Poor grammar, spelling or anything that doesn't have to do directly with the project doesn't mean the project is a scam. Sometimes it might be they hired an unqualified community managers and they haven't noticed the manager to be inexperienced for the job. The management of social media is a community manager Jobs.
Some projects teams are anonymous but that shouldn't mean they're a scam, nobody knows Bitcoin founder but bitcoin isn't a scam and we have some other projects like Shiba Inu and they aren't scam. Some projects founder don't like to be the face of their invention but allow the community to be incharge.
Any project that has fake endorsement is a scam, as no real project will want to associate their projects with fake things knowing that if they get caught they'll lose their trustworthiness from their community but scam projects don't care, they're just lookimg for ways to trend so they can get more victims to scam.

I'm not sure if you'll get the possible solution you seek from this blank complain because how on earth do you expect people to give you solutions when you didn't even mention the name of the competition or even show proves to your claims.
Now  let me advise  that it will be better if you try getting in touch with organizers of this competition  which you said you already did and if there isn't no respond  after sever attempt, then you should atleast let people know of the name of the competition  so as to help tag it a scam to avoid others from  falling into similar situations.
I will be glad if the thread is updated frequently  so as to keep the community  and forum aware of the situation.

Even if you are saying the truth about BC.game. It’s very hard to prove that by using only the statistics of the result since coin flip is pure random games. I’m not a player of BC.game but this is same scenario with slot games with close source code. It’s very hard to prove if the game is rigged and the only thing we are relying is just the reputation of the casino.

Can you provide proof for the change of algo?
From what op said, I don't think there should be a form of prove except we try out the games ourselves, but op i hate it when people come out to speak ill of others businesses especially  in an open space like this which you know isn't right at all.
I haven't used BC games but I've known them on the forum to be cool  and I want to know if you ever tried contacting  them and I wouldn't have to blame them if there are cases that seem like this because I'm sure they know it will be a bad reputation  for them as a company  if players always complain of losses and if coin flip which is a random game has such issue, what they would simply  do is contact the game provider and that should do the trick.
But there is one thing I've also noticed in gambling,  when the losses are getting much, gamblers begin to feel cheated and I hope that's not the case with op.
