Gamble with small amount, even if you lose it won't really affect you in any way, and when you win, using small amount of money always choose to take your leave, you won't know if this luck is meant to play out just once, if you keep playing you will start losing everything back to the casino.

I always believe that every lucky win when gambling is a excuse to keep on gambling, it's nothing but a strategy that can easily trap you and never let go, do not fall for such trick, this is the only way you can always beat the casino.

Still nothing is guaranteed, but if what you are risking doesn't matter ( using small money ) you won't be affected by whatever plays out while having fun gambling.
422  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews? on: December 25, 2023, 12:19:29 PM
Reviews consist of lies and truth, and the crazy part is that some casinos have their ways of getting rid of those truth reviews if it's really going to affect their reputation.

I would rather not look into a reviews much, and I can only find out if it's a scam casino or not, everything else is left for me to find out by experimenting the casino myself.

Forget reviews, if you have to do it make sure you use this forum, there are good casinos on here, enough to fill your gambling fantasy for you, there is no room for scam casinos on this forum, this is why it's the right place to find them.
423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: December 25, 2023, 10:58:21 AM
The casino employees aren't licensed psychic doctors, so they can't decide who is mentally sick and who is OK. I'm sure that if a guy starts acting weird, they will kick him out of the casino.
I assume that some physical signs can show that someone is not mentally stable. And I pointed to the fact that can such a person be barred from gambling based on some of these clear physical signs and not a psychiatric check.

Mentally deranged or unstable persons are well known for their violent behaviors of causing harm to others, they don't work for money neither have a sense to gamble for money but this man from the op does the opposite which makes me count him as not mentally unstable but as someone suffering from a depressive condition from life's challenges that had overwhelmed him making him to care less of himself
I don't think it is all mentally unstable people that are violent. I also feel that the ability to work and gamble is not a yardstick to conclude that somebody is sound. Many emotionally unbalanced people still work and are not violent.   
Not all mentally unstable people are violent, some are so gentle and they have no sense of their environment, they are trapped in an illusion, and no matter what you say to them they will never get violent, but where I am confused is how such people will need money.

I doubt they will feel the need to take risks, there is one I know here, who knows the importance of money, but he prefers to ask people for money, the sense of hustling is no more in his mind, and even no one will want to hire such people.

I think the chances of mentality unstable people going into gambling is very limited, I have never seen such people in a online casinos, if they have families they are always with them for montiroing, such people can't be left alone most times as they can do something stupid.

So you are literally considering every other alts as shitcoins, that's where you are wrong, many people won't be here today if there is no alts, the hope and dream of making money like those who buy Bitcoin from the beginning is why many people are in crypto space, they knew that getting such ROI as those who bought Bitcoin years ago is now not very possible with Bitcoin anymore so they are looking elsewhere. 

If we are to consider that all other coins except bitcoin are shitcoins, what about those that bought Ethereum at $1? I am not going to consider all other alts as shit, yes Bitcoin is the best and the safest, but the most part where I made the best money is from altcoins.

I am not afraid to take risks on alternative coins, and right now I am reaping what I deserved, taking risks makes you stronger, mine thought me how to pick the good apples from the basket of bad apples.
425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted on: December 24, 2023, 02:34:09 PM
Both are gambling, either online or offline it makes no difference, and I won't advice you to get addicted to any, the damage that online casinos can do to you is the same as the damage that offline casinos can do to you.

If you want to make crazy money it will take time, accept this fact of life growth, if you plan to go faster you will crash, making money will take time because it's normal, it's the right path, every fast way to make money also have big disadvantages, like getting you addicted because you believe that you can make life changing money.

If you know yourself too well you should be able to figure out if you can cope with gambling, some people get addicted to everything they came in contact with, either businesses or entertainment, such people won't do well in gambling, they will get addcited easily.

426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: December 24, 2023, 01:45:10 PM
Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.
Betting restrictions is not available over here and I wish it is available, there are people who don't know how to stop and their families tried to help but they couldn't, if this restriction law is here I bet they would have taken the steps, maybe it will be effective for those addicts that don't know how to stop, they know they are addicted and they want to stop too but they just can't, restriction law will be a perfect solution.

Risk management is also responsible gambling to me, there isn't a lot of difference here, if you know how to manage your money in gambling you are in your right state of mind, you are trying to be responsible and you don't want to get wrecked like other gamblers.
427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Features of the worldview of a gambler on: December 24, 2023, 12:28:37 PM
Risk management is what many people overlooked unfortunately 🤦 and this is what is killing them, if the risks they are taking is the most minimal, they won't be affected, even if you are poor you only need to cut your clothes according to your size.

If you are poor you can still be a gambler, but make sure you are not jobless, they are both not the same, someone who still have a source of income, even if it's very thinly is better than someone who have no source of income, they can be both poor but the difference will be there.

Assuming you have a source of income but it's very little but you have interest in gambling, you need to avoid comparing yourself to friends or people that can afford to risk $50 on gambling, if $50 is your monthly income, I expect you to risk $1 on gambling in a month, yes, some people won't like this but people still place bet with $0.20 in my country and they won in sports bet.

Nothing beats cutting your clothes according to your size, if you lose the $1 it's just a small amount of your whole monthly income of $50, way better than risking when $10, you can food yourself that $10 is what you can afford to lose, but for someone who makes $50 monthly, risking $10 is too much, it's simply something you can't afford to lose, you shouldn't even try it.
428  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ‘MS Drainer’ scammers used Google Ads to swipe $59M in crypto: Report on: December 22, 2023, 06:38:41 AM
Try using ads blocker on your PC, also stop using google search, they have many malicious links apart from ads, I believe that Microsoft Bing search engine is far more safer than others, there is no single link to any ads in the Bing search results.

This was why I don't like using my PC for storing crypto and also using the same PC for surfing the internet, many garbage will arise from the dept just for browsing the internet on your PC.

I recommend using uBlock or other ads blocker just in case and also get a hardware wallet instead of running a software wallet on your computer.
429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 21, 2023, 10:31:21 AM
That's not a good advice, it only encourages gambling addiction, don't take loan for gambling, it's a ridiculous way to become a good gambler, I use the smallest percentage of my income on gambling and I have lost it all, countless of times, if I have used a lot more I would have lost it all, gambling is not that safe and you will find out sooner enough if you think I am wrong.

Taking a loan or borrowing money is even worse, because you will be left in debt to pay up, if the money was all yours it would have been your loss anyway and you will find how to move but debt? It will affect you in folds, to get yourself will be tough because after paying up finally you still need to solve your own issue of not having anything.

I will never encourage anyone to borrow money for gambling, and to be a better gambler its good you have a job or any source of income, then make sure you use a small percentage to gamble, if anyone tells you that you will win on your first games it's very unlikely, don't compare yourself to others.
430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have any one had experiences with banned bank/providers because of gambling? on: December 21, 2023, 09:28:37 AM
Lesson of the day, always read terms and conditions of any platform you plan to use, either it's online banking or casinos, unless there is no deposit of money involved, if you are going to risk money on any platform its wise to do your own diligent research first.

I have never seen this happen to anyone around me before since I don't use Fiat for gambling, and right now in my country banks are really misbehaving, doing anything the feel like with customers fund and others so many people are getting wiser, moveinh money out of bank accounts into Bitcoin and stable coins, it keeps getting worse and worse.

If your account get blocked you are to reach out to tell and solve the problem out, they should be able to unlock it and accept your apology, it's not as if they will never return the money you have worked your whole life for, they just want to take their rules very serious.
431  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: STOP! Before you become a prey of a scammer! on: December 21, 2023, 08:46:19 AM
Newbies and beginners greatest enemy in crypto space is strangers, this is not a field where you get PM from friend of a friend who want to hire you because you have a skill that they need or something else, total strangers online are creepy as hell, don't even try giving them any attention.

From my past experiences with strangers online, they always have a plan to get the best out of use, either by scamming you or using you, some will pretend to be different but their true color will eventually be shown to you, they are literally looking for stupid people to take advantage of, since 2017 I have never seen stranger that DMed me with just pure mind and no evil plan in mind.

It's better to ignore any stranger, chance your app security settings, they won't be able to get to you unless you are the one that PM them first, strangers don't always have the best interest in mind.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Michael Jordan a gambling addict ? on: December 21, 2023, 08:01:03 AM
Anyone that is spending an amount of money that he can afford to lose on gambling, the person is not an addict.

But if someone is spending small amount of money on gambling but seeing himself not leaving gambling but prefer to just gamble and gambling taking his time, the person is an addict.

If gambling is not affecting someone financially and also not spending the time he supposed to spend on other important thing on gambling, then the person is not an addict.
Agreed, it shows how much the person understood the world of gambling, the last time I had a similar discussion with some friend, they believe that spending much time with gambling is what makes you the real gambler, and they believe that been laggy when it comes to gambling, maybe gamble twice in a week until the following week makes you a unserious gambler.

I would rather become an unserious gambler because it's the right way to go with gambling, if you really want to avoid getting addicted you need to spend most of your times with things that really matters for you and your future, because if you focus too much on gambling and you avoid all the necessary things you will end up wasting your time.

To me my time is the ultimate tool I have left in this world, I have to use it to my own advantage, once it gets passed you, there is no turning back the hands of time, it's gone for good, use it wisely.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has gambling ever whispered you with different strategic prediction measures? on: December 20, 2023, 10:11:35 AM
This isn't anyway close to be called strategy, closing your eyes to play Slots won't bring you good luck, if you are meant to lose you will get your result once you open your eyes, stop deceiving yourselves.

For Slots games there is no strategy involved or any that you can apply, poker is a bit better with some skills but not Slots, you should be concerned only about how much money you can afford to lose, do not be fooled.

it's very easy to get addicted to Slot the most, and that's because of the games simplicity, the only strategy or skill you can apply to this game is how much rounds you are willing to go with the money you have, the more rounds you can go the better.
434  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Should I buy bitcoin ETF now? on: December 20, 2023, 09:51:37 AM
I won't advice anyone to spend money on Bitcoin ETF, why not buy the real Bitcoin instead? This is what I keep telling some people that are out of the country living in the U.S now, it seems people are just looking for an excuse to be able to trust Bitcoin, those who are after the ETF instead want to be under the government permission to invest.

I will never have any interest in any bitcoin ETF, I want the real thing and I plan to retire with few good numbers of Bitcoin, I am not going to do that with ETFs rather.
435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Heritage is Some How Spiritual on: December 20, 2023, 08:26:03 AM
You are a bad gambler if you believe that a team will always win, even if the club has the best player simply because they have the money to buy all best players, it still doesn't change the fact that they can lose matches too, it's been proven right every time, a club can take lead for long but when the finals is close they will start losing.

I will advice to place your bets wisely, just because a club has the best teams doesn't guarantee that you will make money betting on them, this move have cost many a lot of money, don't do the same mistake they accomplished.

Always gamble with what you are ready to lose, there is no guarantee in any gambling games, or sports, even if they are the best we are humans, they will not always perform the best always.
436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 20, 2023, 07:38:51 AM
The most captivating casino game globally is slots, the jackpot element and payout ratio makes it a non fading option for millions of gamblers, as per data, the second most addictive gambling game is Roullete and Black Jack.

Every gambling games can turn you into addict and that's because of what gamblers want, money is the major reason every gamblers are gambling, but since it's almost impossible to win, many have gotten smarter and decide to gamble only when they can afford it and with the amount they are ready to lose.

Now gamblers prefer to enjoy their times betting on games or sit back and watch a game with little money bet on the game, which makes it a entertainment idea.
437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Target your wins in a series of bets on: December 19, 2023, 12:21:50 PM
I just felt I should bring this up here maybe it will help someone in managing expectations and the entire gambling process.

From experience, I have realised that many people run into problems when they focused so much on winning a particular bet amd when such bet fails, they easily slide into psychological crisis.  Considering that gambling is a game of probability with the chances of losing higher than that of winning, it is therefore expected we work out ways of approaching it so we can remain profitable.

One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.

This is my approach and through it, I don't get depress over few loses. This method works for me and I feel it will also work for others. Your opinion are highly welcomed.
You can't remain profitable in gambling, the only way to remain profitable is to not gamble at all, because there is no game that will give you constant winning without taking money from you, if you have this mind of staying in profit while gambling you are making this whole thing up.

Gambling is not a business where you sell brand to consumers, gambling is not a job where you get paid after using your skills at work, gambling is an act of predicting an outcome of something far greater beyond the human sense, we can't see the future.

Have less expectation, rely more on your job and business, risk small money in gambling, have hopes and dreams on your skills, you will live a healthy life compare to someone who believes in nonsense, you are not in control, those who make money on your own losses are the true profit earners.
438  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do NOT overpay your transaction fees. on: December 19, 2023, 11:19:53 AM
I agree, but this transaction seems more like a problem with the wallet’s programming than panic. I don’t know, but no matter how urgent you are, waiting a few seconds does not lead to panic. Most of us usually wait 10 minutes to 30 minutes before making the RBF decision.

You might be unto something here, I think we are basically seeing a script been placed on That address, this script seems to be a sweeper bot and it works in a way that once that affected address receives a transaction the wallet is swept immediately. if you check properly the parent transaction was initially from here https://mempool.space/tx/d59646028c4b1934dc9bb5d00991a9baf0be5148d156ad3c8321dfafcb702af1. This first transaction had many different addresses receiving bitcoins which we can say is a batch payment done. Then this particular address bc1qkdlefzs9w0yhauf54d8xrxzpu96562g6zsgg6w had his own funds swept immediately and had to under go series of RBF to a new address every time, with few seconds apart from each one as shown by OP.

I first guess was maybe since that address was the address holdings the higher amount the sender used would use that to do a CPFP but the address hasn’t received any bitcoin before so as to have extra funds in it for that.

My guess is the wallet is under attack from a sweeper bot and it kept replacing the transaction to avoid the owner finding out and spending it. This isn’t a normal human error as the time between Those transaction replacement is just too small.
Bravo Zaguru12, you got it right, it's very rare to see people behaving like this, I mean Bitcoin wasn't released yesterday, it's not new anymore to know that you need to wait to get your transaction in a block, why would anyone rush anyway? As I was reading through OP I detect that this could be the case, some is indeed trying to do fast transaction because they are robbing people.

I was a victim of this sweeper bot too and I don't know how it happened, I just abandoned the wallet and move into another, crazy things are happening in crypto space we need to be on alert to avoid getting ruined.

I just pity newbies that will be coming into Bitcoin by 2024 because we will already be in a bull season then and the transaction fee of Bitcoin will be so much unbearable.
439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet company (s) bridges the law over unexpected winning from bettors on: December 19, 2023, 10:07:39 AM
Is this 1xbet a local casino in your country because that name is scary as shit to me, the name is already tagged as scammers running a casino on this forum, so which one are you talking about?

The lesson to learn from this is just the same with online casinos too, always go with the best online casinos, they have a lot of reputation and they have already pay many customers millions in money, those new casinos that are starting up are probably broke, so if you win an amount that they don't even have you will never get paid.

Stay away from online casinos that are just starting up, watch them closely and see how they build their rep, if you are in hurry to start gambling it's better you go for popular casinos online.
440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: December 19, 2023, 09:40:07 AM
What is the gain if they do so? Because it does not make a lot of sense to me, if you lie that you win some amount in gambling and you've never gamble yourself, it means you will end up gambling one day because you are simply encouraging yourself with lies and you will also come across others revelation in gambling, it will get to a point where you will think that you are missing out.

I don't encourage lies but those who are doing it are deceiving themselves, who cares anyway? You should still focus on yourself and try to avoid getting addicted to gambling, it changes nothing if someone lied about their gambling experience, that shouldn't have any impact on you because not all experiences are lies and as a gambler you will find out if you can cope or not after giving gambling a try.

How is your own gambling experience going? This is the oy thing you should care about, who cares if someone lies? With gambling you don't have to be told that you will win or lose, online casinos are everywhere online, do some findings yourself.
