Lol
I'm sorry it seems I'm  laughing  but the truth is that, these are exact similar cases and news allegations I always expect from people who try out a new casino and suddenly  makes losses because there is always this disbelief that the casino is provably fair and the player might want to investigate  into reasons why he made such losses.
At some points, there have been threads talking about how casino  slot games are been designed to have more house edge against the player and  with this been said, I think anyone who is doing well in slot shoukd count himself lucky.

Well you did a very great job and if this is true, then I now see reasons why a casino isn't expected to just easily go bankrupt if they play their cards well.
In sure every every businesses has the primary  goal as to make profit and casinos aren't exempted and I have no issues with all these calculations and the gambler because the casino never forced anyone to use the welcome bonus but rather a personal decisions.
I personally  don't make attempt or enjoy making attempts to use the welcome bonuses because of the hello of terms and contains that will be associated and I just simply prefer to skip.
4363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: June 16, 2023, 10:30:32 PM
I've seen case scenario where people make good profits and never visit gambling a again and already invested in other businesses and today are still doing well.
Most times people want the easy way to make money and gambling seems to be that way that's why most persons wouldn't mind to lavish a huge profit with hopes or getting a bigger one and that's one thing that also drags people to addiction.
I personally can quit gambling  after a huge winning bjt it all depends on the amount won because money worn are sweeter than money earned and that's one thing  that will  keep dragging people to gamble.
4364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can One's Religion Compel A Compulsive Gambler To Quit Gambling on: June 16, 2023, 09:39:41 PM
I'm not specific to any religion and hopefully, no members here will mention any religion, the topic is in general and not specific to one's religion

Can a compulsive gambler that is newly converted to one religion, compel him to stop gambling?

When we talk about religion it's about changing our ways, ideas, and beliefs so when we successfully help one compulsive gambler to convert from an example to an atheist to one's religion can we compel him to stop gambling?

Is it possible that he will continue playing but secretly?


Well the truth is that none of this things will ever happen suddenly and I wouldn't say that the convert will stick so easily but the fact is that fir a newly converted to actually focus and not get distracted to gamble at any point, he or she will actually need someone to be with them or constantly remind them of the consequences of the actions of persistent gambling  and that is why the best place to get someone corrected from addiction is to take them to a correctional center or hospital so that they can be taken proper care of.
I know of cases where some religion speaks against gambling so hard and forbids its members from gambling  but you'll agree with me that some of their members still gamble in secrets which is a prove that religion doesn't really matter but it's one's choice and behavioir.

I don't want to speak ill or talk you down but I also want to know if you've ever  practiced this things you listed or you just assumed after your researches from net because most of this things would have been better explained if you already got the experience  yourself.
Nevertheless  your points are great and I love the way you took your time to express each of them.
I don't also think that comparing odd from different  bookmakers will actually have any serious impacts on the decisions of one's bet because from my little observations, it seems most of this bookmakers have almost same odds and if we depend on this then we might make some awful decisions

My goodness to what essence  is this entire episode that I have to read?
Did you get your caption after writing the message? Meh this is so long and there is no way you'll  expect me read all of this just to know the ambivalent attitude to gambling and also your choice of words aren't impressing to me.
I didn't also notice any references  to your work except that of the world population count from Gitnux which simply implies that all your writings were typically from your head without any  citation.
I will advice that you have a recheck on your work  and possibly  add some references to it.
4367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 15, 2023, 09:35:11 AM
People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?
This is simply so because the society wants to earn money without stress working with flexible time and space rather than been stocked with the regular 8 to 5pm job.
Gambling is promising  and mkst persons enjoy the promises it gives and it is much more tempting  when we have gamblers around us who only share their wins and not their losses.


2# Returns the lost money
This type is those who lose a lot/little of money. They play gambling and hope that the lost money will comeback. But that never happened

3# Gambling addiction
This type is those who are no longer logical. They keep playing even if they win or lose. They are real gambling addicts. they can't stop before all the money is gone

This last two listed caught my attention because from curiosity, one gets trapped and now wants to get back their money through chasing their losses and then end up being addicted which makes them want to do some incredible things like stealing  and all the rest and no parents would want such for their child.
4368  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling addiction causes ear deafness? on: June 15, 2023, 08:27:46 AM
Your topic is actually something  else and at first when I came across it, I was really  interested  and wanted to know how possible this could be for gambling to cause physical deafness.
With that been said, I don't think an addict will ever pay any listening ears to advice wanting him to quite gambling  and at some point, if you persist with your advice, they might want to see you as an enemy against their success.
One funny thing about addicts is the fact that they always believe that their days of glory will come or be restored and that's one belief that has kept so many addicts trapped.

Great idea but I don't think it will easy for people especially  from the forum to patronize  you because of the recent scams and hence people wouldn't want to deal without an escrow with a newbie account offering  a relatively  new service.
I want to also suggest that you get someone  who can help you design your ANN  thread and also possibly get a much more reputable member who will help represent your team over here and help manage your services because I believe this is one of the only ways you can gain the trust of people to patronize you.

Welcome on board and it will be nice you stay transparent in all your dealings in the forum  and beyond.

Now the real comment, football season in Europe is over currently, any addict should have enough reason to rest now because there’s literally nothing to play

Basketball season as well has ended, every addict has nothing to play, let’s see if he won’t rest this period

You call him a bet addict because he has money to play bets all the time, some of us who can’t even afford to feed, how do we go about raising funds to bet? Talk of turning to addicts😂
I'm sure an addict doesn't need all the money in the world  to become an addict because as an addict, one might want to do everything possible to make sure his what he is already addicted to.
Take for  instance, some.drug addicts and their behavior and if you haven't seen a drug addict, also think of a drunkard who always want to be drunk and most times this addicts go to the extent of selling their properties just to satisfy their addiction desires and if you haven't dealt with an addict, I'm sorry you wouldn't understand  and might want to take all of this for granted.
Addiction is real and one doesn't need all the money into the world to be addicted.
4371  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: dinabot scam 2023 on: June 14, 2023, 09:00:39 PM
hey guys today dinabot scamed me

i tip them for change coin but they never naswear in emails
 
they take our coins for few hours and gambling with it till they make profit and if they win they will refund users if they lose they wil find reason  if u lucky they answear u

This should be in the scam accusation  board but I'm sure with just a writing like this, it wouldn't qualify  to be in such board and if you must make any post of this nature in there , you should trybas much as possible to gather enough evidence and proves  to back up your claims and if possible, you should also show the email proves of you trying to reach the customer support service as well as your balance and your transaction history and then you can make the post in the scam accusation  board.

I hate it when  people talk ill about others business without having any valid proves to back up their accusation because at some point, I think it creates fear in the minds of some of their customers and reducing the business trust and reputation.

I don't know if I missed any line but I didn't see you guys talking about kyc and its terms because I'm very sure you already  know how much people want to be certain of their privacy.
Another thing is your terms and conditions  and how manipulated it can be because lately, we've had alot of discussions  along with alot of controversies about how casinos and gambling houses use their terms and conditions  against their customers and end up ripping them of their winnings.
I want to plead that you stay transparent in your dealings and also try your best to be considerate in all you do.
4373  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is the name of this bookie ? on: June 14, 2023, 08:47:37 PM
I don't think it will be easy for anyone to give you a precise name of any Sportbook simply from the betslip.
I don't also see this image looking like any of the betslips  of the popular Sportbook  I've used lately and this is why I always advice people to stick with reputation over few dollars or odd rise.
I think you should try figuring out where you got the slip and maybe that will be a good starting  point if you want to figure out which Sportbook owns the betslip.
But I also want to know to what use are you wanting to know the Sportbook because the game already ended and I don't think there is any much reason to bother over the slip.

It is so because gambling  is one of the places that promises money that seems free because I see them as a place where you make money by just being right and I'm sure that you know most persons want to make massive money with very minimal efforts and that's one thing gambling seems to offer.

I'm not sure if everyone in the world sees gambling or gamblers as bad because there are countries where gambling is fully legalized as long as you're of age and such country wouldn't have the time to look down on gambling.

Gambling  has caused people more harm  then good and that's why everyone seems to kick  against it especially  in Africa countries where gambling seems almost like a taboo even for women as well.
People still gamble because they hope to make a life changing winning  through gambling.
4375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 12, 2023, 09:23:22 PM
The question is if you're a gambler or have someone who is, what's the best way to help out. And what's your story on escaping that addiction (gambling)...

How do you fight this battle?

The answer here is what i can give to myself because i know it will work but I can't guarantee that it will also work for another person, when you want to quit gambling, it's a very easy thing to do provided that you're not an addicted gambler, all you just need is to delete every gambling apps and websites on your phone, clear the cookies and history, change your gambling enabling environment to where you can't have access to gambling, engage your money in doing business or invest them on profitable assets, if you're addicted already, then try to find a suitor that will replace your gambling addiction after taking these necessary steps above and get yourself busy doing something.
This is funny to me and don't you think those measures can easily  be reversed?
I don't think this your technique might even work for you because  the same apps you mentioned  wouldn't cost me nothing but just few megabytes to reinstall them and clearing the cache and history  only made room and space for me to adventure the gambling world more and also o don't think the VPN will work or getting a partner as well because you might still get a partner and still decide to hide your gambling habits from he or she  and hence one of the best ways to stay in check is having someone stay around you to keep you in check and also having periodic counseling session.
4376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guilty of promising not to gamble for specific days but back next day on: June 12, 2023, 06:37:05 PM
I used to be like this when I first started my gambling journey. I would always break my promise to stop gambling or even just resist the urge the following day. When I lost most of my funds, that's when I started to exercise self-control and discovered that we can't discipline ourselves if we have too high of expectations for gambling. I'm constantly eager and working so hard to achieve my target objective despite risks hoping that I could get lucky but when I started controlling my emotions and tried my best to resist from gambling temptations, it became my habit and I started playing gambling occasionally and just considered it as a source of entertainment and not a passive income.
It will be hard in the beginning but with perseverance and willingness, we can get rid of guilt and we can't also control ourselves. It only needs determination and self discipline.
You're right and I do agree  with you that gambling actually starts gradually and if not stopped on time then it grows to be a habit that might be very difficult  to stop.
I think op should know that, he is already growing  a negative attitude  and with the help of the forum through gambling addiction threads, gamblers present here shouod be able to know when they're getting out of hand and sboukd immediately  seek for a solution  and possible counseling rather than just flag it off.

This incidence at some points, seems to have been experienced by most gamblers but the ability  to over come it truly matters.
4377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 12, 2023, 10:32:13 AM
I just realized  your question and had to read it extensively  and yes I will have to use VPN in cases where it is inevitable  like the case scenario you just mentioned  but the trust is that most of these casinos are very silly and don't even think before they act because they already have their T&C to back up their silly behaviors.
Using VPN on a casino is already a very risky act which can lead to possible ban of account especially  if there is some money in it and they might not even be interested in wanting  to hear things from your angle.

The best thing to do is avoiding VPN  use except in cases where it is inevitable.
4378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: June 12, 2023, 10:20:40 AM
I won't consider this as threatening in any way unless the partner may gain financial benefits from it so its more of guiding the partner who lost his way and at the verge of getting addiction but thank God she found before its get out of their hands.

I would say threating only if someone gambles and have success streak which can be a problem to casino bankroll so they will simply ban the person from playing in the casino anymore and its only possible in offline casino.
I think the partner blew up because she found out that the husband had a huge win in the past and never told her and worst of all is that the losses are now getting out of hand.
So just as op already said, the wife threatened  the husband with marriage and gave him a choice to choose either the marriage  or she which the husband had to choose her and hoping to convince her to see reasons with him and I'm sure that  it will have to be on a term that the husband will give her some path of his winnings.

Whatever the case be, I think God used the wife to safe their marriage and the husband from gambling addiction because it already seems  the husband was getting addicted and was already chasing his losses since their was a huge win in the past and he was so trying g to get back the good old days
4379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: June 11, 2023, 10:49:28 PM
Match fixing is one of the major problems with all this local leagues because I've heard of stories about how some gambling whales have to influence this matches and be able to stay in control of the matches.
Away from match fixing, those leagues are one of the best leagues to bet on because they can be easily predicted.
I haven't gambled lately on any of the foresaid leagues strictly because of the fear of losing money with the awareness of matches been fixed.
Champions leagues are also one of the easiest just incase one isn't comfortable with all this little leagues.
4380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Confident Are You In The Reliability of the KYC system on: June 11, 2023, 06:55:49 PM
in my opinion, things should be forward and more precise, like KYC is not required for this amount ex $9999, more than that a user has to provide his documents and a selfie and write a text on a paper or even a video call, and to avoid not accepting some documents they should list the accpeted documents for different countries with examples of which and how they look, but a lot of casinos make it so vague that people would doubt themselves if they don't accept the documents they provided, i don't trust them at all, sometimes when i make a bet that could get me a huge profit i doubt that i can get my money because of so many cases of users claiming to be discriminated aginst because they won big, online casinos are very sketchy to me.
Most times the way these casinos present themselves makes it really look suspicious and rather than making their terms and conditions clear, they choose  to make it very vague because maybe they already have thoughts and plans on scamming their customers if anyone accepts the terms and conditions and at some points,  I feel the gambler has nothing guaranteed For them because every rule has been made to favour the house and not the gambler.
If the casino sites are trusted and approved by the government then I have no problem submitting personal information but if the casino site is temporary and weak in terms of security then doing KYC remains a risk.
I think there have also been Some cases with registered casinos who end up scamming their players with kyc and as well as T&C because  the players had no control over this.
