It is a very natural thing to bet and hope for luck, although it is still not certain whether someone will really be lucky. Because people who bet without expecting to win or get lucky are just people who are having fun with gambling, so it wouldn't be strange if someone who bets doesn't want to tell other people about their luck. Because this kind of thing can actually be done by anyone who has the courage and ability individually without having to depend on other people.
Exactly, it's not like you have control on how the team that you're betting on will perform, your control stopped when you've locked it in and now it all relies on the skills of the team you've put your bet on. To be honest, most betting should be easy especially if you just bet on the one with the lowest odds, it's common sense that betting sites will put lower odds on the teams that's likely to win so why not just go with your common sense and secure an easy win?

It's never an easy win. Less than a year ago there was a case when a guy bet $1 million in USD on a team that had 1.01 odds, meaning it should have won almost certainly, right? He thought it was easy to win $10k with that. And the team didn't win, and he lost his entire million. I can't even imagine how much money won those who bet in the outsider, but my point is, even with  1.01 odds you can lose sometimes.

~ Won $200 in October 2016. How much is it now? More than $10k? Congrats, my friend!
I never sold that amount directly, but its slightly more than 10grands in USD at the current conversion rate. Which means that at that time bitcoin price was 1/5th of what it is today, which checks out around 600 USD.

What I mean is that if you have 0.3 BTC today , it's the money you've won back then. If not for that win, you wouldn't have it right now, right? 10 grands is 10 grands, Congrats again, mate!

FreeBitco.in is an amazing place where things like this can happen. I'm waiting for my 10000. I'll roll it soon, I can feel it. Smiley
Thats the spirit of freebitcoin, but I have been trying a number of times every day too but have not got it again. The probability is low, I was extremely lucky on that roll. Cheesy

I'm wondering how much it will be one day in the future, $200 in BTC now? $2k? Maybe more? Freebitcoin is a fantastic place. You can win that much in one roll and it's free.

804  Economy / Gambling / Re: ✨ BITCASINO - Elevate Your Gameplay 💎 #1 VIP Crypto Casino ✈️ on: November 01, 2023, 04:53:06 AM
Yesterday I went to Bitcasino and found a slot with an unbelievably low live RTP for the last 24 hours, 0.86%



Hunting for the lowest live rtp slots is my latest passion, so, of course, I started to play it. I set it to make the smallest bet possible, so, the smallest coin value and just one line, and I hit 5x of my bet right away:



Later, within 20 minutes of playing there were so many 5xs




that I'd stopped making them screenshots at one point, but this one, 40x, I surely couldn't miss



And today I went to that slot again, and, sure enough, it wasn't 0.86% anymore Smiley



Was it changed by my play? I don't know, but it was fun. Smiley

Regarding the morality of using AI for sportsbetting I think that it's not a bad idea to use them especially if it helps you put in perspective on the teams you want to bet on but using AI to bet blindly, I think it's stupid.

There's nothing immoral in using AI for sportsbetting. Unless it's forbidden by the site, you are good to go. But I undeerstand why the question arises. Anything new encounters suspicion and hostility at first. Like using zippers instead of buttons was considered "infernal" by some.
That's what I've said which I'm happy that you've agreed, although I frown upon the fact that betting sites would ban you if they ever suspect that you're using AI which is kind of stupid I guess because at most, the AI is pretty much just spouting common sense and you just want an affirmation so you can feel secure of your bet.

Is it so? I've never encountered a gambling site where it's said in ToS that they will ban you if you are using AI. And I think that's because they don't regard it as a threat to them, gamblers using AI. At this point AI is in such state that some people can feel secure of their bet after consulting with it, but that would be not more than illusion.

~ After 1 year or more ago because my passion there did not reduce, I began to see the tragmewaves as a stress reliever for me, so I already see it as that, but the people who see it and play to win because it has its problems, it is known that with little money It can be multiplied to a lot, and that's just some great players, there are some who make plays up to 200 usd in a single spin, and that's something that surprises me, the truth is I wouldn't be able to bet so much in one turn that in the race I could lose and oh, that's how 200usd goes, for me it's a lot, but there are people who gamble a lot, bet very hard and win dudtro too, but the unknown is, it will be that throughout their life how much they have played order? How does it compensate for all that life where they particularly leave some money in the casino? is it worth doing it? That's what I would like to read about people who have won big on a slot machine.

There are two kinds of people that bet $200 USD in a single spin: Some people are blindly chasing big wins and they forget about anything else; and there are others who simply can afford it. For the latter it's like for us betting 20 cents for a single spin. They have a lot of money and for them winning something like $20 is not entertaining at all, so, they need to make higher bets to have fun. The former kind, on the other hand, they are seeking not fun but big profits, and those people need professional help.

That's true that in poker your result depends on all those things, your well-being included. With purely luck-based games like slots it's not the same. You can feel horribly and still win big. In any case, you should never treat gambling as a major income.
I don`t even think about slots. It is only luck, you have chances the same like a lottery. But in sport betting you can win good money. Not every bet of course, but enough for living. In my situation the profit from the main work is to high, but if someone has problems with the job - the gambling can help him. Of course it doesn`t mean, that everybody easily becomes rich - it is really great everyday job, like any other.

I agree that it's a hard job, but it's not like any other. For example, if you are a good coder and it's your job, you work hard and make good money with that, you are not risking your money in the process like with playing poker or sports betting. So, like I'm always saying, however skillful you are, or, however, you think, lucky you are, you better don't try make gambling your major income.

And I totally agree with you about investing the rest of the money in Bitcoin. Especially today, when the price is low.

What if that person doesn't have an idea when it comes to bitcoin? So what you've said about "investing the rest of the money in Bitcoin" is not applicable to all people who don't have a slight idea about it. But maybe for some people like us that are prominent in the field of cryptocurrency or bitcoin, the number one thing that we will do is invest some or a large amount of our winnings in bitcoin because we see the potential profit in bitcoin, which is good timing right now. But treating yourself to some luxury things will not be bad, either because you deserve it or because the winner deserves it. Just control the expenses and buy only the things that you necessarily need. How I will I will win in lottery I already have plans on how will I spend some and how will I invest some.

That's right, you gotta live sometimes, and when is that time if not when you won $600k in lottery?

Buying only the things that you necessarily need isn't exactly luxury, I would say. If you won big, you can afford spending on some unnecessary things too. Smiley

~
If I personally got the win I would definitely use some of it to invest in crypto especially Bitcoin.

And I think, fortunately, many people these days would do the same. Times when most people didn't know anything about Bitcoin history are gone long ago.

Celebrate your big win, buy some necessary but expensive things, and invest the rest in Bitcoin. That would be my advice.

Of course you are losing, what do you expect when odds are stacked highly against you.  Grin
That's why bookies love parley gamblers and eventually limit players that bet singles. It's much more profitable to stay away from big parleys.

Of course 1 hit can finance the next, I don't know, 100 bets but when these bets lose you are red again.

But I do understand the excitement of having a high odds parley, we all have dreams. It's like the "chip and a chair" saying at poker.  Cool

Going to switch to lower odds, like about 10.00 or so, for a change.

Don't be tempted lol especially for freebets it's kinda pointless to do anything lower than 2x, since you don't get stake back but don't lose hope so soon with these big odds.

I started also recently using bigger odds and it was tough to keep losing but if you hit a few streaks wins it's super worth it Smiley

Thanks for reminding me, guys, that betting with bigger odds is what I actually love and do. Having a long losing streak I almost gave up. But since low odds are not doing good for me either:



I'm switching to the high ones back again. Indeed, if you win with super high odds once, that makes the whole thing worth it.

casperBGD and efialtis are the matchday winners with 18 points each. congratulations to both of you - the sportsbet.io free bets will be credited to you soon.
efialtis has even forgotten to give the picks for one game...
on the first three places all three participants have the same score
the overviews will follow soon...

I don`t know what`s wrong with me and how I forgot that one when I entered my picks for all the other games of that day... Cheesy Thanks for managing this Cygan!

Still, even without that game, you've managed to earn 18 points for that round. You predicted 6-1 for Bayern Munich vs Darmstadt. Closer than anyone else to the actual result. And although you've earned 2 points, same as me with my lame 4-1 prediction, it's impressive, to say the least.

And, of course, I'd like to join you in this: Thanks for managing this Cygan!

I know that we are not going to end up with all that many people like that, most of the people are just professionals, and they are aiming at trying to make money

that makes the competition more valuable because of those professionals that uses those kind of events as money making place , their ability will be a challenge to them.

I agree. If only people like me were taking part, it would be not that interesting. It's competing with the pros what makes it exciting. And if you don't win, you can at least enjoy the artworks made by others.

Now, it's two weeks left till the end of the Art Contest "Halloween". Remember, guys, this time you can submit your artwork in four different categories.

I have question - how do they make that much money if their games are fair?

Their profit per month is 73.7666667M, le'ts imagine this is 20% of total comission...And it's shocking. Don't they suppose to have negative months, or years? Like operators have?

I mean, all of this videos of their rigged game shows, blackjacks...I'm about to think that all of them are true

Their games are fair in the sense that they officially have an advantage over players, and they are not hiding it. Their profit is only telling us about how many gamblers are using their products, I don't understand why do you think it implies they are cheating. Like other people said in this thread, they don't need to cheat because they are making big money legally. Why risk your license?

Trump may be gaining steam and momentum, as so many predicted it could happen. In a normal world, we would agree those indictments would have ended his political career, but not in this bizarre context, he is getting more popular.

Well, the world has been like this for many thousands of years. People sympathize with the martyrs. Why? Because it's in our genes. Because those who didn't have this trait have died out more than a million years ago. Compassionate people are those who have survived. Now, this situation has been abused by some politicians for the last couple of millenia.
~

I do not think Trump is seeking to become a martyr, he seems more interested on continuing to be a leader. He does not want to face defeat in the hands of the legal system of the United States of America.
Rather than a martyr, his opposition has compared him to a cult leader, someone who is not supposed to be questioned and someone who is secretly doing good deeds against the "deep state".
And since he is not an idiot when comes to politics and Public Relationships, he does not miss the opportunity to capitalize on it.

Also, since some codefendants have started to flip on him on the RICO case within Georgia, I would have expected his odds to be affected by it, I have not checked yet, I am more interested on the polling.

Regardless of what he's seeking, Trump is a martyr in the eyes of his supporters. How would he get such popularity otherwise? "not an idiot"? Many people would argue with that, I can assure you. Right now Trump is ahead:



The question is, for how long. Seriously, I think his chances of being elected are close to zero. I mean, it will be more obvious when we are closer to the elections.

People have different strategy that they use for their success and that is different for another person. Like talking about soccer betting, some people stay with odds that are even in number before they stake on it, they believe whatever is even is positive and whatever is negative is odd or bad so that is what strategy that they adopt and it works for them more times that they have won which is why they stick to it.

Therefore what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B as far as gambling is concern, everyone has to play with what luck they can get for their bets.

Sticking to only even odds for whatever reason is not a strategy, it's a superstition. Of course this "strategy" can work for someone, because among many millions of bettors there can be one or two for whom it's "working", but it has nothing to do with anything but luck. To rely on such a "strategy" is irrational, but if it's fun and you are only risking what you can afford to lose, you can try your luck, why not? Smiley

It depends on your knowledge, expertise and passion. If you are doing business and doing well then there is no point in looking for ways of generating money in crypto. Why take a risk on something you don't have passion for or knowledge about?

But if you are looking for an option to get rid of inflation then it is advisable to gain knowledge about crypto as i think bitcoin is better than gold in terms of fighting inflation. Don't be like those guys who watch a video about dogecoin and start investing in it without any justification. You should learn about where you are putting your money and whether the associated risk is bearable for you or not.

I agree that Bitcoin is better than gold in terms of investing. More risky? Yes, but so far it's been worth it. Of course, a year or two may be not enough to see some profits, but let's not forget that BTC always surpasses its previous ATH sooner or later. I wouldn't advise to look for ways of generating money in crypto, especially to someone who's not an expert in the field, but I think for a successful businessman it would be nice to think about investing part of the profits into Bitcoin.
820  Economy / Economics / Re: Cracking the Code of Saving Money... on: October 29, 2023, 11:28:20 AM
Billionaires have said poor people save money while rich people invest their money. Well, from that point of view we can clearly see differences and it's possible outcome. Saving money is much better than wasting it but investing it to something that will gave us more than the amount we save is the best and wisest choice.

But in many cases investing is wasting. Especially investing in something that seemingly will provide you with high yield. I wouldn't encourage people to invest instead of just saving. Those billionaires you've mentioned in the beginning they usually lose millions on the wrong investments before finding something profitable. Regular people can't afford that.
