$shfl whiepaper is out, and while i am still browsing it, it looks balanced, and i am seriously impressed about the professionality of this. Token issuance was quite confusing a first, but it looks balanced. And buy back & burn rate of 15% is very impressive too.

https://shfl.shuffle.com/

Probably there's more details to come, like are they buying back and burning the tokens indefinitely, or is there going to be a limit where they quit that? Because if it's indefinitely, it strips away the meaning of marketcap, and technically there's no limit how much the price can rise. And funny thing here is, if the token value is good enough, there will be more people gambling to get the second airdrop, and that rises the buyback burn rate, rising the value of token, and creating even more volume. This will be interesting.

Also questions like how much does it cost to move in erc20 layer, and if we can use L2. And if the personal size of it is related to amount of money gambled, or are there exact grades for each vip status. That could make a huge difference in higher ranks if someone didn't quite manage to get the next rank, that they at least would get their money's worth.
342  Economy / Gambling / Re: I've Made Millions abusing Exploit in a Crypto Casino - AMA on: February 14, 2024, 09:30:01 PM
Main question: How was the exploit performed?

The casino used provably fair dice game. They were about to release new version for their site, before release they had separate beta website for small group of players to test and look for bugs before the final version would be released. I was one of those players who got access to the beta testing site. Finally the testing period was over and new version of the site was released to the public. The beta site was still online. The mistake that the casino made was that beta site account and main public site were sharing identical server seed. Meaning that i could reveal the server seed on the beta website while still having it active unrevealed on the main site. The way probably fair works is that with revealed server seed i could calculate all the future dice rolls before they would happen. And thats what i did. I did it for over 2 months i believe. I abused it in a way where it really looked like at the end i was just getting lucky and that the EV would catch up in the end. Over 2 month + period i was withdrawing big amounts in btc totalling thousands of bitcoins overall.


1. I still have majority of thay money.
2. I never felt guilt or wanted to return the money. Casino is a very shady business and the owners of these platforms dont care about their players or their losses and will do anything to milk their customers out of their last dollar. So i feel no sympathy. I outplayed them at their own game.
3. I did diversify my btc investment
4. Yes i am
5. I could sign wallet containing good chunk of those coins but I wouldnt say that would be the smartest thing to do
As long you aren't doing a long scam here, i don't even care if you are lying or not. As this this actually plausible explanation and a cool story. Morally speaking it's iffy, as it's not a robin hood story or anything like that, just an exploit that you abused and stole money with.

But this is definitely something that might have happened. Back then btc was cheap and tech was new, there were scams left and right, so different exploits that happened under the radar were definitely a thing. And no one seemed to track the missing money from real scams, so changes that anyone even noticed anything funny are probably small.

i can't see any good reason why you should sign the wallet. Because of what reason? To impress some random people in the internet? Wanting to get caught? I definitely wouldn't. Although i am so paranoid that i would even make this tread, even though 10 years might have passed, and this crime might be expired in most countries.

In our society the increasing rate of immorality and nonchalant attitudes can be linked to improper upbringing of our wards by some parents compared to the time were traditional means of training was still practice.
This days you see children dictating what they want or how they want to live there life, spending less time doing house chores,am confused is that the improvement in technology is also increasing the rate of lazy, gullible,and immature children in our society
Children are been exposed to different materials present on the internet...what your take on this guys, should the traditional means be advocated for so we can have a better society.
Technology has nothing to do with it. Why would anyone let their own kid browse internet without supervision anyway? Age limits exist for a reason. Don't blame the outside world for your kids behaviour if you throw them out in the world alone without supervision or explaining it, of course they take it like a sponge. Because teaching is parent's job, and if parents don't care enough, kids learn everything, in good and bad, from anywhere they can.

Imho people let their kids dictate rules, because they are lazy and hate confrontation. When a kid get just one thing that he/she wants by arguing and yelling, they learn that it's a valid tactic.
Saying no after that will get harder and harder if parents give up, and it hurts both parents and kids. They might even end up hitting kids and are amazed how they can't behave, even though they brought this with their own lack of parenting.

These kids also might grow up to be pretty horrible, as they definitely use yelling and violence or threat of violence in life, to get what they want as well. Because we unconsciously and knowingly use lessons we learned as a kid.

To me it was obvious from the beginning that Trump was not very fond of the idea of NATO. I don't know why, some will say Putin has managed to blackmail him with very sensitive material, that is a rumor though.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know most of the European Countries, specially those in Weast Europe, Germany has their own army, for example. Also, membership in NATO itself requires for the countries to have military capabilities, otherwise it would not make sense for it to be a military alliance, Europe is not a protectorade of the United States, but much of the funding and logical support come from there, so it would be possible for Putin to feel ressured about his advantage with Trump as a president of the United States.
Keeping in mind the United States has one of the biggest military budgets on the planet, I am not sure the European Union would be in the position to spend an important fraction of it to defend themselves.
It is quite a messy situation, but we are not supposed to be pessimistic either and assume Putin is going to invade Poland as soon as Trump steps into the White House.
Also every nato country that has a border with Russia, is meeting the required 2% of GDP on their own militarie. Poland almost doubly so (3.90%). So either Trump can't read map, or he is just talking to his own voters, who can't read map. But this situation might actually lead to European armed forces, as popularity of patriotism is rising everywhere, that used to be far right thing, but i am glad that people are taking that stigma away from it. And distrust in US stability is growing as well, making us more prepared. And our country has been building defence and security of supply since 1944.

I always wondered how patriotism rised in the past, but after seeing left and right, every party and even old anarchists agreeing on the thread of Putin, and because of that, many other things related to values and nation security as well. That's really interesting to witness.

I will not deny that I also bought it before, and I also farmed it using Biswap before, but now it is listed on Binance, right? I'm not very updated on BFG now. I also used to gamble on the BFG platform, which is their casino.

But I also have holdings; that's why I just left them in my wallet because they're long-term. Last year I stopped doing DCA there in BFG because there were others because I was accumulating crypto's for the bull run that will also come this year.
Why would you assume it's listed in binance? It wasn't listed when you were DCAing it last year, and you are answering to a conversation where people have been listing pros and cons if it should be listed to ANY CEX at all.

Surely you would have noticed if your protfolio would have been spiked because of it. But wise choice not doing DCA anymore. I wouldn't surprise if BFG didn't have a bottom. I guarantee you that binance won't be listing this one if they don't want to end up being Aliexpress for altcoins. They at least used to value quality.

sir i don't care about airdropp, or bonus...i just win betting. I have nordvpn extension on my browser, as 99% crypto people, no need to mask my ip, i am kyc2 verified, with id and proof of address that shows that my address is the same of my IP, expect for 1 time when i connect trought vpn in moldavia (and i do not place any bet in that case). I would be very happy if shuffle could answer here. So you are telling us that if an user access shuffle one time trought VPN, they have the right to void al his bets since the beginning? You think that this kind of rule could have a sense? But i repeat, i don't care about airdrop or bonus, i just want my winnings, nothing else, and i have not received 1 cent bonus. These are my bets, no surebets, no strange things just bets ]
ndumm, care to weigh in?

llateman100: I wouldn't worry, i didn't imply you were doing betting for an airdrop, and that wouldn't even matter.  What i meant was, i am assuming that they might be doing mass banning several people using vpn, that were abusing vpn and creating accounts for it. And you might be collateral because of automation they need to use. So if that's the case, they are quite busy at that with the moment and you'll get your change to appeal when. The fact that aidrop announcement is late so much would support this theory.

ndumm: And about that airdrop announcement that meant for last week. I really would hope shuffle would be more transparent if there's a problem and least that they would tell if they can't keep the deadline. As that creates trust and gives a caring signal. This is like promising a date and not showing up or answering to texts. I get it, you got your reasons, but ghosting after the deadline is just weird.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: February 12, 2024, 04:50:00 PM
Gambling could affect your real life only if you start gambling for money. Otherwise there's no problem. And your one more question was, if gambling can make you addicted or not? Actually its verily possible that gambling could make you addiction. That will happenen when you gambling for earning and when you loss, you'll naturally again do gambling for recovery. And if you win, then money can makes you greedy and then it also inspires you to gambling again! Actually gambling is depends on you how you consider it. gamble for fun, not for making money. And don't gambling higher and control yourself
Gambling with the intention and purpose of earning money or income is the goal that most gamblers bring with them and now most of them have entered the addiction phase where they just spin on the cycle of getting winnings and losing and gambling again with the purpose of wanting to restore something that has been lost, there is absolutely no time limit that can determine about how long you will be in such a situation, the point is if you can identify the mistakes in terms of the approach you have in gambling then I think change is something that will not be too difficult for you to do.

I can honestly say that if they come in with the goal of making money then obviously they're going to feel addicted, because making winnings is their main goal and fun is another thing that's actually more advisable but it's something that they ignore. Actually there is no good situation if you have entered the addiction phase, you have also said here that when they win they will be greedy and when they lose they will be curious and try various ways to achieve recovery, but restoring something that has been lost in gambling will not be that easy, and the opposite happens where the amount you lose will be even greater, so we must be careful and always apply awareness and caution to avoid addiction.
Often there are no mistakes, nothing to learn from and nothing you could have done differently. Sometimes you'll just lose for a long time. Everyone has a goal to make money on back of their head, hree's nothing wrong with that, as without any incentives, we wouldn't most likely gamble. But when that's a main goal, then the whole experience gets loaded with expectations and assumptions.

I often see my gambling budget as a money for having fun. It's a similar to budget planned for night in the bar or trip to somewhere or something like that. I am confortable that i lose it all, but the whole experience is giving me a thrill as i actually might win, even win a lot. While starting to play i am often happiest, as i don't know what's coming. Even when i win, it's not that exciting anymore, as just right before bet gets solved, i am feeling the rush.
348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where Do You Want To Go To If You Win $2 million On Lottery on: February 12, 2024, 04:27:08 PM
This discussion came out when a friend told me that he planned to move out of the country if he happened to win the biggest post in the lottery at that time the lottery pot was almost $2 million in our currency, he then asked me where is the best place in the world to moved in case he wins a lottery,

So I check the internet for the best place and I stumble this article

The Best Places to Move When You Win the Lottery

So if you happen to win an equivalent of $2 million in your currency, will you move out of the country, from the article I posted and the poll I created from where country you would like to move to in case you win $2 million, you also have the option to stay in your country and why?

I prefer to stay in my country, because the living cost is very cheap here in my country, $2 million is very much enough for all my family up to three generations and I can even help my country by setting up businesses.
I would actually stay in Finland. I wouldn't need to even pay taxes if it was a Finnish lottery.

Living would be costs would be more, but i could afford it, and the quality of life, clear water and safety is what i want. And i like where i live, so i would probably buy a decent house that's cheap to maintain, and invest majority of the money. And i would probably save money with free healthcare in the end.

But i would definitely want to visit places like Japan and Korea. I just watched a youtube video from japanese content maker who said that usually people have a honeymoon phase for the new place, when everything is new and we see only the surface. Then we can feel even like we found our new home, but after awhile reality hits and we see deeper on the cultural differences. We start to miss our things from our own culture, and place is getting more and more on our nerves. We often end up feeling outsiders and eventually want to just move back home.

And obviously all the cheap places would be on my travel list. Everyone wants to live like a kind for a while and able to afford luxury. But i couldn't help wondering if that would mean that i would be missing moe autenthic experience if i was spoilng myself and drinking expensive drinks, while really interesting people wouldn't even invite me anywhere as i would seem as another rich annoyting tourist.
349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the most underrated sport? on: February 12, 2024, 03:59:25 PM
All martial arts, especially mixed martial arts
Firstly, it is not as popular as other sports, such as football and basketball, and it did not receive sufficient media promotion due to the lack of sufficient support and sponsors. It has a small group of followers.
I thought that UFC is huge already. Not as huge as others but there is a logical reason when you think about it.

People who are good at soccer or ice hockey, basketball and others, have been trained and supported by their parents since they were kids, so they just continue their path. As those are traditionally seen as safe, sane and healthy sports.

And Not many parents want to encourage their kids for violence, and that's how most people see UFC, violence and head trauma. Even though everyone that practices martial arts that i know are nerds, and i mean that in a good way. Parents want to keep their kids out of the fight, and majority of them doesn't really understand the whole sport. But the trash talk for tv promos and brutality doesn't really help to sell the idea as a honorable hobby or that it's safe for kids.

What comes to underrated sports, imho parkour should be huge, as it's visually very pleasing and dramatic.
350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cardano vs Ethereum on: February 12, 2024, 03:42:55 PM
Do you think Cardano will replace Ethereum?

Personally, I think that both blockchains will develop in different directions in the future.
Both blockchains would therefore be relevant and coexist.

I personally think of something like this:
Ethereum = DeFi
Cardano = dApp

I also thought of something like this:
Ethereum = NFT & Gaming
Cardano = dApp & DeFi
That doesn't make sense. DeFi is an umbrella term and covers dApps, so are you saying that Cardano is focusing to one niche section of all the DeFi? And right after that you seem to change your opinion that actually Cardano is more DeFi How does that work?

While i don't underestimate Cardano's achievements, it's far from ethereum ecosystem and adoption. "Build it and they'll come", doesn't work if everyone wants to develope in somewhere else. As long as most of the value and activity stays on ETH, so will the developers. Also, Cardano doesn't have anything eth wouldn't have planned, and trying tp scale cardano will most likely be the point where people give up.

Hi sir

what you say has completely non sense. I did an aribitrage bet only on one bet (ncaa basket women), and i covered my bets on other website. Realy do not understand. I don't think it's your business if i cover exposure using third bookmakers, it's part of a common trading strategy, that most gamblers apply, expecially in live events like basket where odds moves quickly. You talk like somebody never place a bets in his life and i don't know how people with so lack experience could running a sportsbook business. About bonus, i never claim any bonus, just place many bets (normal bet, only one i covered elsewhere). About VPN, i forget to swicth off the VPN one time, and i appear to be in moldovia, but i did not place any bets in that case. So do not uderstand where is the problem. My other ip are all italian ip and i am from italy

even when you say "you are trying to hide your original IP to dodge being connected to other account which you are using to cover the sure bet"...you know what a sure bet is? Surebetting is making profit placing different bet on DIFFERENT bookies (how can a single bookie offering arbitraging odds itself!?!?!?!??!), and i send you also screnshoot of the third part website (goldbet.it) where i placed my bets to cover the ones un shuffle.

I understand you are a small bookie, and probabily you need to do trick like this to save same money, but here there is not realy sense on what on you are doing and sayng. I can lost my money, it's part of the game when you place bets on little bookie like shuffle, but have to tell people to be aware of a bookie like this. Will advice people on arbusers forum too, and in any other gambling site. If loggin trought VPN (once time) and cover bets placed on shuffle on 3rd bookies (what do you care), give you the right to void all the bets, shuffle is not a saefty place where placing bets. ps. most of crypto people have vpn addons default on their browser so the risk to connect trought VPN is high.

Well it's directly prohibited, so you definitely broke the rules:
Quote
7.4. Any attempt to conceal your true location through the use of a VPN, proxy, or similar service or through the provision of incorrect or misleading information about your place of residence or location will constitute a breach of these Terms of Service.
So VPN rule alone would be enough depending how strict they want to be with the ToS. But hopefully you'll get your money back. Maybe you'll get a change to appeal again, and maybe they'll accept the reason that it's by an accident. Or maybe you are not telling something, like the fact you accidentally used same ip on that vpn that you had been used for alt account. We don't know as we only have your side about it. But obviously "accidentally" is going to be everyone's go-to excuse. Imho leaving the VPN on, could happen to anyone, but it's now just a matter of their interpretation.

But after googling $shfl, i am pretty sure that you are not the only one getting this treatment. There are youtube influencers encouraging people to use VPN in shuffle, and twitter accounts admitting they are using vpn to get an airdrop. I am now actually hoping that these people get busted so that there will be less participants and bigger shares.

I got so many questions from this, like "why not do it more?". You do realize how much money $3 Billion is? It's like asking, that if Jeff Bezos can make so much money so easily, why not do it more?

And as you very well know, stolen crypto can be tracked by anyone as blockchain transactions are transparent, no matter where they trade it, and it's just not by government officials that have been tracking groups like Lazarus Group. Maybe you could dig up the proof as you obviously seem to know more then rest of us. And let's play that even if it wasn't because for some weird consipiracy NK related, those hackers still exist and how is that not tarnishing the name of the crypto more then some freedom of making meme tokens?

While you are right, if they manage to get listed on a popular exchange, it could generate a lot more attention and people would probably be more interested in it which could give the volume a (massive) boost. But as you mention, the chance they will get listed on a good exchange is rather low.
Listing on a good exchange might kill altcoins, as first they receive price boost, but later they might suffer a huge price drop. Not everyone recover from that. People see price go up and down, and loose believe in the altcoin, considering it as «just another token for pump&dump scheme». Imo technically it is easy to keep tokens price on the same level with no listing on a major exchanges, then rebuilding reputation if it drops.
As a disclaimer, i don't think that listing in CEX would help in any way, in fact i can see that paying the listing fee can affect negatively t the price, but i don't see how would spike in price would kill BFG? Pump & Dump schemes happened in the past often long after people pumping it had time to accumulate majority of it. Those to my knowledge didn't have anything to do with the timing of listing. Price can pump & dump in DEXes as well, in fact it makes more sense to do that there, as i think that DEXes are not obligated to prevent those schemes by regulations, like centralized exchanges are.

And it's not like it needs killing by CEX, as team is already doing all they can for killing it by not communicating. It has been slowly dying since launch.
354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Real World Assets, AI Trust, and the Crypto revolution on: February 11, 2024, 07:29:53 PM
Because, in reality tech isn't here yet. There are ton of hurdles to overcome. You don't hear about tokenized property because it doesn't make any sense yet. You can't move legal rights with just a token. As an example what would happen to the rights if you forgot your private key? Or if your private key is stolen? And when you need legal documents, kyc, ability to reverse transaction with that token, that makes the token meaningless.

Token isn't a legal contract for many reasons, but AML laws come to mind first, and after that consumer protection laws. I could go on but that pretty much covers the main problems.
theres already tokenized gold and many things becoming NFT. So for property probably will be more complicated procedure for things like legal right but with favorable regulation it is feasible
That's really not what i was talking about. Because that "tokenized gold" is whole different issue. You are talking about synthetic assets, they are just mimicking the value of gold or stock or whatever. These are nothing new or revolutionary. Nor they are in any way near the problem that needs to be solved, and that is to trade actual tokenized properties or stocks in permissionless way, that would come with transferring legal rights with them.

There are projects that are trying to solve these issues, but there are so many unanswered and unsolved issues left that i personally and very skeptical if they are ever going to be solved in a way that would be cheap and secure enough to be adopted.

They are literary spamming the Bitcoin network and making it unusable to the common users. Have you been paying attention to the Bitcoin transaction fee spike in the past few months due to the BRC20 spam? If you did, then you know why they are not popular.

They add no value to the Bitcoin network, and they definitely throttle the Bitcoin adoption rate.
True, we can have feelings about it, but we can't really decide how bitcoin network can be used. Freedom always brings annoying and impractical things with it. But that's the cost of freedom, as we can't decide for others what's important and what's not. It's the public who decides. Ordinals are being traded so public has spoken. I remember back in time when people were annoyed that blockchain-based betting was basically DDoSsing the bitcoin network.
356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you quit gambling for a friend? on: February 11, 2024, 12:09:14 AM
So I heard a story of some acquaintances that in their friend group, some person really got addicted recently.
At first it was just fun and game, they would sit together and play some slots together in a big screen with some 10€ or so for as much as this would last them with small stake spins. And this is something they would do on big occasions. Only when together as a group and only for big days like birthday parties etc.

But the thing is, unbeknownst to them, one person in their friend group was really compulsive. So in the course of a few months, he became really addicted. He would spend much of his own money from his salary on slots and sports betting, eventually losing most of it regularly every month. Then on nearly every get together he would ask his friends to chip in so they can play slots this time in his account. Every time asking for more significant amounts too.

This guy hasn't caused any trouble to his friends but it's a worrying situation to see him waste most of his salary every month... So now the other guys were contemplating to quit their poker playing hobby because it was really affecting their friend negatively. And they had a somewhat regular get-together to play poker with very small stakes just for the fun of it. It's a petty that they might have to abandon their poker games but to them it's either that or abandoning their friend and worsening his compulsion.

Would you do the same for a friend? Me personally I think I would have just confronted such a friend and told them to seek help instead of me altering my lifestyle for his benefit. If they didn't seek help to the point that it was affecting me I would've just stopped hanging out with them silently I think. A friend would've had to be a real good one to make an exception at least.
For support, sure, i wouldn't drag them to casinos or play in front of them, i wouldn't quit, because me playing is not the issue. And if they didn't know, how it would hurt them? Even though i can't imagine any of my friends wanting that even if they wanted to quit. They don't think their friends are dropping their lives for them as they don't see themselves as main characters of the world, that somehow others are owing everything. If my friend wanted that, i would seriously support them in any way possible, but i would seriously ponder what kind of friends they were, if they thought they would be so entitled that they can ask that.

Because it's not like drinking, as we don't only see in casinos, or gambling related events, nor we talk much about gambling. It's very easy for me to do other stuff with them, like go to swimming, shopping, walking and talking and even composing music and visioning new projects. I wouldn't hang out with friends who have only gambling in their life, as that would probably make my addiction worse as well. I gamble mostly privately, and sometimes play poker in the group, but that's it.

I think we are starting to get carried away with the shuffle strategy, we are increasingly curious about the launch of SHFL and of course that is good. In my opinion, there is no need for SHFL to rush, for me it is better to be late than to be in a hurry but with an immature concept.

However, because shuffle will launch SHFL in the first quarter, until today there has been no delay at all, we have to wait until March (1st quarter = January-March). I checked my shuffle account and it turns out my wager wasn't high enough. So sometimes I even hope there is a delay so I can increase the wagering on my shuffle account. lol  Cheesy Cheesy
High enough for what? I don't think they have announced any minimum limit for airdrop, or if you think you would have wanted to gamble more for it, i am guessing no matter how much volume people have, everyone is wondering if it has been enough for decent share. I know i didn't do enough. But i am hoping for dump so i can sweep some cheap tokens.

And there did you get that 1st quarter? And why would we need to wait for it? All i have seen is that Noah tweet that long time ago that sad "$SHFL arriving in early 2024!"

In my opinion this has been a long-overdue. We are currently working on Xenwave, a Web 3 application with a social-media spin that allows users to share and communicate using just their Web 3 wallets, and are interested to know what is the broader community's take on both the need for such platforms in the first place, but also on the features that would make them attractive to the crypto and Bitcoin communities.
These have existed already, like steemit, which was the closest working example imho. People are just not interested on them as they are mainly about competition of rewards, voting circles for people rewarding each other, bots for rewards and stolen content instead of people creating anything worth while. We have ton of hurdles to solve in normal social medias already, and adding distributed ledger to it doesn't bring anything imho. It doesn't solve anything important, nor it make posts more immutable and permanent, and when you think of it for 2 seconds, why that would ever be a good option anyway.

If you want to write something resistant and permanent, you can already put it on bitcoin blockchain. But i don't see why that would be a good idea.

I just watched Bitconned, a netflix documentary about scammers behind Centra. Guys like these with nonsense scam projects are one of the reasons why crypto is having a bad rep, not meme tokens like pepe. Thet don't come even close to this.

But even though this was one crazy scam, i would rather see protagonists of a documentary somewhat relatable, that they would be interesting outcasts and underdogs, or at least so weird like crypto couple that hacked bitfinex. That story seems to have really weird background. Or movie from Ben Mezrich's book Bitcoin Billionaires. At least the book was rather good.


I also happened to have watched this documentary in a free movie streaming site which I can easily access here in my country. At first, it would be the story behind Bitconnect but then when I started to view the whole thing it was the story of the people behind the Centra scam which I unfortunately also promoted as a bounty participant back on those years when ICO was the rage all over crypto. This move should be opening our eyes on how easy it would be to start a project and use even fictitious people or figures just to convinced people to shell out money with the hope to get good returns on their investments. Centra also got famous personalities like DJ Khaled, Floyd Mayweather, and Paris Hilton endorsed Centra Card and Centra Tech. One thing I hate with the story is Ray Trapani never meted a prison sentence due to his cooperation with the whole case. The judge could have used the case to send a strong message by getting all the scammers get prison terms with varying duration.
Yeah, bitconnect would be at least more surreal to watch.

I forgot to mention that sentencing. He was facing 100+ years in proson so it almost seems like he used some mob connections. He obviously didn't learn anything, he was ordered to pay $2.9 million to his victims, and somehow he had still luxury cars, and bought a house. This whole documentary got me seriously pissed off. He was bragging trough he whole document that he always wanted to be a criminal, how he scams people and how he wanted to exploit others.

So by ratting out his closest friends he ended up being only one no serving time. Even though he was the mastermind behind the whole scam. Unbeliveable.

How do you guys manage to take a break in gambling? I’m not asking for advice but rather I’m just interested to know what you are doing on your own or if you really do a break.

I recently decided to take a break since I want to hold my crypto due to its increasing value and I don’t to spend it while it’s giving me passive profit. I just claiming bonus now or anything that is free to still enjoy gambling without risking my money.

What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?
Sure, i have taken several breaks for various reasons. I took a break when i had better success rate by investing to random new microcap altcoins. It was sort of gambling as well though, even if it wasn't trough casinos. Few times i have taken a break when i gambled more than i planned. I wanted to punish myself and set a clear line that i can't cross. During that time i almost lost my house so i needed to take a good look at the mirror.

And sometimes i take a break from certain type of gambling, like live sports, poker,  slots and even crypto trading, or where ever i am having a losing streak.
