losing in gambling is something of an unavoidable future, assuming one gambles or plays a certain game indefinitely. most times, a casino game is designed to profit the house in the long run, otherwise there wouldnt be much sense in running a casino. a lucky player may strike a few times and multiply their bank, but that mindset gets a player broke eventually as they keep playing. even more so if they try to recover their losses.

not really, if someone has the spare money to gamble with, its safe to assume that individual isnt exactly in need of life-fixing as far as their finances go. the way i see it, gambling in excess only leads to people digging themselves in a hole that's not exactly easy to get out of.

1000x is is doable, just pick the right games that end up in an upset victory. however, i think that getting your betslip to those ridiculous odds would be the hardest part. after that, its all a matter of the underdog victories coming though.

most likely he did a random 100x roll off the faucet on a dice site somewhere and went off that. that, or a giveaway from one of the threads over in the games and rounds section.
better off he stops altogether and sets it aside, more often than note others in a similar situation find themseves broke all over again, believing they can continue winning.

no house edge, but there is a rake the sportsbook site takes for hosting the bet. even if the odds were 50-50, you wouldnt double your money if you won, it would be a tad less.

if youre losing every time, youre just wasting time. try not gambling away whatever you get next time and save it up for something nice.

making a consistent income from gambling requires some impossible degree of luck, or more commonly, a fair amount of skill in a game with some degree of skill involved, such as poker.

dont forget, fixed matches in real life sports exist too, its just that these events are harder to prove. however, a fixed match in professional sports has nothing against the betters, and theres usually something bigger in the picture than a few sportsbook bets.

there's a lot more to gambling than just those sites, i guarantee the big casinos (real life ones) see as much money trade hands in one night than these bitcoin casinos might in a weeks or even a month. not only are there dozens of people playing in these casinos, a fair number of them bring a fair amount of money with them, and there is nothing like a "faucet" like online casinos might have. in fact, many table games, such as blackjack and hold em have a small fee to play a hand.

completely untrue, only very few, among even the professionals, make it big enough to "live it big." keep im mind that being professional only means you do that job or activity for a living wage, and gamblers that only win enough to make a modest living do exist in the middle ground. you make it sound as if anyone who dedicates their time to gambling can suddenly come out with 10 lamborghinis a year

lets think for a second: if a form or method of gambling that was safe and consistently made money, everyone would be making a living off the casinos using that method. there is never a "safe" way to go about gambling, it all comes down to being a simple game of chance. also, its possible that games that were "safe" and profitable for the player can be created, but no casino would ever actually open up one of those to be playable. makes no sense in opening up a stand that is expected to lose the house money.

there isnt a house edge, but there is a rake that the casino takes in place. the availability of options is, i think, what sets apart sportsbooks from more "traditional" gambling games. point spread, over or under, etc gives one the possibility of gaining an edge to turn a profit in the long run.

i think its still pretty risky to start up a gambling site, with the market for bitcoin gambling sites/casinos as saturated as it is at the moment. without some unique idea or feature that will attract people to a site, there isnt much aside from giveaways and advertising one can do to attract players. and with that much money put into advertising, its impossible to say when your site would actually start turning a profit.

not exactly, sportsbooks still take a percent rake from the bets, otherwise they would have no way of making money. however, those odds depend on their bookies, so there is a chance to take advantage of this and place arbitrage bets across multiple sportsbook sites to net a marginal profit.

losing isnt really fun now is it
if that were true, professional gamblers wouldn't exist. professional means you do that job or activity for a living.
think of this, to a professional gambler, gambling is nothing more than a job. they dont play for fun, they play to win and make money so they can maintain their lifestyle.

there are quite a few professional poker players who would disagree with your first statement investments are a risk too, don't forget that. if some investment was truly 100% risk free and guaranteed profits, everyone would be pouring money into it, and no one would work, they would just live off of the returns from this nonexistant investment.

playing with the faucet will almost never get you anywhere. maybe once in a blue moon someone will come out with a sizeable amount from the faucet, but its not likely at all. youre wasting time playing with the faucet if youre expecting to win.

if youre taking bets and chances that could actually lead to you being in a financial crisis and having to resort to having to sell off your possessions, i would definitely say you have a gambling problem. trading your standard of life and accumulated wealth for a few cheap thrills is never worth it.

we cant know that for sure, the casinos have nothing to lose from making a show out of every poker tournament, its possible that some of these tournaments are staged to attract the largest audience possible. after all, tens of millions of dollars can trade places in a single major poker tournament.

why would he want to? why share your secrets to being that successful, which might create competition that might jeopardize his chances/odds of winning his big games? doesnt really make much sense to do so. "a magician never reveals their secrets."

at the time when it happened, stunna and the rest of the PD staff didnt know he was using an exploit, so they had no choice but to pay him out or get a bad rep for not paying out big winners. also, im not sure how such a lawsuit would turn out: first off, stunna would have to actually find the actual person associated with the handle "hufflepuff" from pd, and the court would have had to rule that bitcoin was indeed property/currency at the time.
