1341  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: June 04, 2023, 05:14:55 PM
I watched a youtube video, a guy is showing how live roulette in online casinos scam us. after watching some part of video, i check the comment, and on 4th comment i found this guy telling how they scam us.


"The practice when the roulette balls are made of piezoeletric ceramiC.The material used is Barium Titanate BaTiO3 on the surface, and Barium sulfate BaSO4 on the inside insulation.
The ball caries polarized surface charges when hit by anultrasonic sound wave. This is sent from the inter- digital transducers placed in the pockets of each number.
They send a wave to the ball that polarizes the surface with a negative charge.
The spoon/ pocket  of the number olso negative; thereforethe ball jumps out trough electrostatic repulsion.
Each number pocket is controlled by a transistor called IGBT.
This transistor turn on the switch so that the pocket is negatively charged.
The control room computer leaves the pockets that it wants the ball to go in neutral or of.
This is akk maneged by the sophisticated software and computers.
So that why you can see situation when the ball geteither pushed out violentely od sucked into the exact to a number.
I am positive you know that the ball stick to a number like a dart and also ball being pushed out from the pocket after almost completestop.
So this would be yes this technique could be possibly used to manipulate the outcome.
This is happening on you live dealer wheels."

in comment of this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0rNhLySb0k

do you think, this is possible or they are already doing it? popular game providers like evolution, pragmatic, etc.
I'm not gonna challenge the credibility of the science behind this comment because I don't know anything of substance when it comes to physics and chemistry (which is what I assume is what is at play here) but as with my previous comment, and as with the comments that people have left here I think this is a bit far-reaching. The game is rigged against the player from the get-go, with little to no agency needed from the casino to bump those odds towards them so to actually cheat on these games against the gambler is a little overkill in my opinion. Although if the science is correct and you can really influence the pearl's/ball's movement, this could lead to speculation where some gamblers could exchange the ball for something that is of the same substance as you said above to help them win more games, don't you think?
1342  Economy / Gambling / Re: Empowering Individuals Through Statistical Analysis: Building a Casino Simulator on: June 03, 2023, 11:38:33 PM
As I looked upon the world around me, I saw a great need for a tool that could help people make more statistically sound decisions when participating in the games of chance that are so prevalent in our society. It was then that I decided to build a web application that would simulate various casino games and provide users with valuable information about the odds and probabilities of winning.


In my quest for excellence, I turned to the great Vue 3 framework, a tool of immense power and flexibility that would allow me to create a responsive and intuitive user interface. I crafted every detail of the application with care and diligence, using HTML, CSS, and Vue 3 components to create a beautiful and user-friendly experience.


But a tool without substance is of little use, and so I set out to implement the game simulations themselves using the power of JavaScript functions and algorithms. With a focus on statistical analysis, I calculated the probabilities and odds of different outcomes to provide users with the information they need to make informed decisions.

As I sought to inspire individuals to be their best, I integrated third-party libraries for data visualization and charting to display the statistical information in an easy-to-understand format. With every line of code, I strove to create a tool that would empower individuals to make strategic choices and live their lives with purpose.

And so I tested and deployed the web application to a hosting service, sharing my creation with the world in the hopes that it would inspire others to strive for excellence. I continued to update and maintain the application, adding new features and improving its performance over time, always with the goal of empowering individuals to make the most of their lives.

May my creation serve as a beacon of excellence, inspiring all who use it to be their best and make informed decisions that lead to success and fulfillment in life.

Really nice of you to invent something like this with no incentive. Just from that you gained my support!

A lot of people downplay the odds when you gamble especially during games of chance which leads them to make belligerent plays and decisions that are pulled from their nether regions, so something that will help them visualize how rigged the system was against winning is definitely welcome, and it's free as well to boot! Props to you my guy. If there's anything we could do to better market this application of yours, so it could reach a bigger audience than the 50k+ active users of bitcointalk, let us know.

Regardless of how fascinating or valuable such tools may appear for statistical purposes, there is simply no way to outsmart the law of probability in a gambling casino. The outcomes of casino games are inherently random, and luck plays a crucial role in determining success or failure. So, no statistical tool or AI can provide a solution to overcome the law of probability. Gambling outcomes will always involve an element of uncertainty and luck, which cannot be eliminated by any tool or technology.
I think for few games this might come in handy but overall especially on luck-based games this is just a nay for me. I wonder if AI in the future has the ability to outsmart it which I don't doubt in the first place considering how robust our technology gone by. Yeah you'd be correct on that but AI might have the slightest chance in it though I think only in skill based gambling.
AI, no matter how close it looks is still a little too far to even be considered in the new age of gambling industry. So if you're only basis for your statement is because "this will become irrelevant when AI takes over gambling", it's going to be wrong. It doesn't aim to "show how AI can outsmart games" it's to show that "games are outsmarting humans"
1343  Economy / Gambling / Re: chinese bookmakers with tf gaming platform NO KYC on: June 03, 2023, 09:45:36 PM
maybe someone knows such bookmakers as https://www.zhb77.com/ or btc365.com (5 month ago) who have tf gaming or other chinese platform without KYC

would be very grateful if you could share these
Rule of thumb of mine whenever I deal with these kinds of casinos is to check if they have an announcement channel over here at bitcointalk, that at leasts sets me up that these people are confident enough of their credibility. If they aren't here, it's a big no-no for me no matter how much licenses can be bought, but credibility and reputation couldn't be purchased. I've seen a lot of people saying that these sites you're talking about appears to be derivates of the same fraudulent site, although I don't want to confirm nor deny these allegations as that would mean I'd have to waste my money over sites that are already shady, all for the sake of bypassing KYC which isn't even that hard in the first place.

I suggest you stop looking for no-KYC casinos, this field is a breeding ground for scammers and hackers.
1344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: June 03, 2023, 09:01:41 PM
It's really a shame, this is really one of those sad stories that really tell the dark side of sports betting and gambling in general, I could not help it, but had tears rolling down my cheek while reading this story..

Another future father, a future millionaire maybe, young 22 year old boy with a promising future lost to suicide after losing his school fees, and that of his friend to sport betting due to gambling addiction..

We are in the 21st century, until when before people realize that suicide does not put an end to problem, but rather create more for those living??

This is really a sad story though, ya all can read it on https://punchng.com/how-ogun-student-committed-suicide-after-losing-school-fees-to-sports-betting/?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=social

I hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted..
I pray non of us, and any of our relative shall ever be a victim of such a sad story 😢😢.
This is definitely saddening, as a life has been lost needlessly because of gambling, at the same time it also opens the fact that this is a common trope when it comes to gambling and gambling addiction, most people who find themselves in a rut will definitely resort to these types of activities to rid themselves of the suffering and the ensuing problems that would come with such a grave issue.

You cannot blame the people who did the deed, they saw nothing but that option during that time and to them, it's the most viable solution to their problem, it doesn't mean that what they did was right and should be justified, but in the case of suicide victims, you can't really put the blame on them, as that would only cause them to resort to that later down the line.

Ultimately, one should make sure that you only gamble what you can afford to lose. Money that's so important such as school fees, utility money, and others of the same priority shouldn't be touched, and gambling should only be seen as a way to let off some steam, never as a way to gain profits.
1345  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 7 tips to know about crypto trading on: June 02, 2023, 10:19:22 PM
It's like riding a bike, it's true that you will fall and get scratched, but 3 minutes of riding a bike equals hundreds of hours of trying to read books to learn to ride.
That's a nice advice, experience almost always trumps theory, not most of the time though (i.e. theoretical physics), but I do agree with the analogy. Only difference is that trading is much more painful than riding a bike when it comes to mistakes, some people will experience loss in trading and that's it for them, they won't try again.

This advices you've got OP, are pretty basic in my opinion, most of them are common sense in trading in my opinion. I don't truly believe in the advice about giving your crypto to other people to trade them for you, copytrading is a profitable way to make money when trading without trading yourself. Also, it's a stockbrokers job to trade for you so it's not that solid of an advice.
Copytrading is more like a gimmick in my opinion, and it doesn't really instill that discipline and the knowledge bases you're looking for if you're shooting to learn the ropes of trading. Worst of all is that I've never even heard of people advertising copytrading, therefore solidifying my theory that it just doesn't work as advertised. But I digress.

I mean there's little investment advice you can give people really. But I would advise OP to at least do a modicum of research for himself instead of asking total strangers on the internet bout trading and then be given useless crap he wouldn't really be able to use.
The newbies we haave now in the trading society, are the impatient ones, i do see alot of them in my every day life, some dont even understand RISK MANAGEMENT because this is even the most important KEY for a consistency profitability. what we have now ARE THE ONES THAT WANTS TO MAKE THAT MILLIONS AT STRETCH.
I don't know how this helps OP with his trading journey, you could've at least given him insight on what Risk Management is.
1346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: A long term investor here, thinking about adding RoLLBit Token on: June 02, 2023, 09:34:52 PM
investing in casino token is something very risky, but if you put it in your head that it is a lost money then everything will be fine, but the moment you think about getting high profits then be careful because the casino tokens to go up in price depend on the casino performance and in this market of online casinos every month a new casino appears making this market already very saturated, the competition has become very big and the casinos are forced to have to see the number of customers being reduced, and if the casino offers some high bonus it risks going bankrupt, and from what I could see these casio tokens have the purpose of offering advantages in the casino

these benefits that the casino token offers in the casino will be creating conditions to bankrupt the casino when the casino needs to reduce or end certain incentives and bonuses, so if the casino reduces the benefits of the token, people will not be interested in buying the token token, therefore the price of the token will not rise, on the contrary it will fall, with the tendency of many casinos to appear each month so it is inevitable that the casino reduces the benefits it gives to the holders of tokens, well in any case I do research before to buy any casino token
I think this doesn't just go for casino utility tokens but for shitcoins in general. Most of these people think they're some sort of penny stock iteration that provides them with massive gains for little to no cost when in fact it's the biggest money drain in the industry. Invest for the hell of it, use it as some sort of warm up as you're trying to invest long-term on new currencies beyond bitcoin and ethereum, but don't really expect to get massive gains from it as Slow Death here has said cause there's no real world use case for these coins besides being the utility token for their sites, and since that kind of utility is a little self-centric you wouldn't really see people flocking in to buy this coin, and sometimes the casino would even limit public purchases to make sure they have enough to go around their site.

So yeah, invest if you have to, but don't really expect gains from it no matter what the charts say, save yourself from the disappointment.
1347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $90,000 all in bet on: June 02, 2023, 08:23:19 PM
I have been able to turn $4,000 into $90,000 over the course of a week. Today, I am going all in on a bet I am very confident in.

FRANCE LEAGUE 2: GRENOBLE - GUINGAMP






Welp. Congratulations on your previous wins, I'm looking at the game now and it seems as if you're on to something here as the goal's already 2 with chances of going for three in the next couple minutes or so. Good luck man. I must say though this type of bet is risky and is not something that I would recommend everyone to do. But it looks like NAPK1NS here is a high-roller so he can stand to lose a couple hundred thousand dollars or so.
This bet is actually too risky and I think it's already 45 minutes into the match and the decision  of the op to me isn't a nice one as it would have been better if he took out atleast $10,000 rather than risking everything in just one match.
Well we ought to always remember  that we should  never gamble with money we can't afford to loss and also remember that nothing is certain in gambling  and at such,  your predictions aren't certain and has no guaranty.
Well since the money is yours and we can't actually tell you what to do rather than make suggestions,  I think you are not even ready to loss this money because it seems you're making the best because you think you are certain of your pick.
Goodluck mate.

It depends on what 90k is to OP. If he's making 200k a year, betting 90k might not be such a big deal. Still risky as fuk, but not the end of the world. Someone like me, who barely makes 50k a year would shit himself betting that much and my wife would probably kill me if I lost, so I'll say it again, it depends on who you are, how much money you have, how comfortable you are betting this much. I'd at least split that into multiple smaller bets.

Good luck OP, you have about 30m left. Don't chicken out before the end Wink
Exactly. Not really a bet that you'd be willing to play let alone recommend to everyone. Just pure risk and the payoff's real fine if you win but for the average joe that's just a death wish. QueenVera's a little cranky bout this guy's betting behaviors, but from someone who strictly opposes belligerent gambling, I can get behind that.
1348  Economy / Gambling / Re: What else should an established crypto casino add? on: June 02, 2023, 07:56:00 PM
Pristine-level customer service first and foremost. If you are an established casino and you're not banking on customer service for complaints and assistance, you are basically saying that "I don't give a damn about my customers as long as I got my money" which will not sit well with these, especially your long-time customers. It's not that hard either and wouldn't cost you much to have a couple hundred people on the payroll, that is given the fact that you are indeed an established casino.

All those things could wait, if you show empathy and care for your gamblers, set guidelines and assistance channels where they can get immediate help when needed, it's going to be awesome for everyone, as you get to keep your high-rollers and loyal customers, while they feel like you guys care and are more confident to stay with you, and recommend your casino to other people.
1349  Economy / Gambling / Re: Question about casino, sports bet on: June 01, 2023, 10:29:11 PM
Far as I know there are android apps. Although you might have to download them directly from the site as most countries banned gambling apps on google play and the app store, especially the ones that were established in the industry. In any case for the most part these apps are just a reskinned bookmark that redirects you back to the mobile version of the site so I don’t think the trouble us worth really.

It’s your choice, personally I wouldn’t play on a mobile phone as that would just insinuate opportujities for me to gamble anytime I could but you do you.
1350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Behavioural signs that suggest you are Addicted to Gambling on: June 01, 2023, 09:28:26 PM
The behavioral signs of gambling addiction mentioned by the OP are true, but there are actually many, especially those that seriously harm others by committing crimes just to get money to gamble after there is no other solution.
and he is always looking for ways to gamble constantly. People who are addicted to gambling will look for ways to play gambling continuously, even if money runs out or time is free, addicts will always have a way out. And once the option to make a loan is no longer trusted, and goods for sale are no longer available. And the final choice will most likely be stealing or committing a crime to get money to gamble.
What you mentioned may be true, but for the most part those are of the radical part of the spectrum that these gambling addicts subject themselves into all to get their fix. It doesn’t necessarily represent the whole population of gambling addicts as they are a little small compared to the general, but they are just as detrimental to the people around them as the ones who have not committed heinous acts of crime. My thought for this is because one way or another, these people will want to get money in order to be able to gamble again and win their losses. Some of them subject themselves in shady deals, with loan sharks and the mafia. Some of them resort to the sale of illegal drugs to finance their addiction, and some just commit suicide.
1351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 01, 2023, 08:50:00 PM
Nope. I don't understand why you would use a VPN anyway? KYC already regulates and records your place of residence so the issue of "getting tracked" is already out of the question. You can't argue "cause I wanna get rid of the cookies and trackers on my data" cause again, you willingly gave your data through KYC from way back then, and most of these sites don't issue that much cookies that it's worrisome. So I personally wouldn't risk getting banned and barred from my funds all for the language of safety. Cause if safety's the discussion then as an online gambler we have pretty much relinquished that a long time ago, right from picking which casino to play with, to allowing ourselves to be KYC'ed.

And it's not like these casinos and sportsbooks are taking advantage of us for "collecting our data" if anything they are just doing this to protect us against hackers for all I know.
1352  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: May 31, 2023, 11:14:42 PM
It’s relatively safe if it’s stored and collected by a trustworthy casino. Otherwise expect your data to be sold to ad agencies for research and targeted ads. And I know how important privacy is to most of us considering how aggressive these agencies are becoming by the day, and with news circulating that the government is spying on us. Anyhow, my point is that there’s really no use protecting our data if we have already sold it to somewhere else unknowingly. Facebook, Twitter, IG, and many other social media sites already did this in the past. So the least we could do for ourselves is just finish KYC so we can get on with our lives and be able to do tasks inside a reputable casino per usual.

Not saying we should just give up, but since this battle is already lost right from the get-go, efforts should be allocated over something else that people still could benefit from.
1353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: May 31, 2023, 10:06:47 PM
Honestly I'm getting tired of these types of threads where people keep on saying that gambling shouldn't be a profit venture or "you shouldn't look at gambling as some form of cash-grab opportunity". Not because it's wrong, but because there's so many of these that it just doesn't feel right seeing one of these every single week.

Everyone at this point should've known by now that gambling isn't a place where you go there with your sights set on earning money, you're going there balls on your throat knowing that you'll lose your bankroll, but the best part of it is that you get to waste disposable money knowing that you had fun. Any other way you think of gambling is completely wrong, and unless you're a pro cards player (poker, blackjack, whatever they play with the cards nowadays) you should expect the worst when you're gambling, thus you lose your money.

That's all there is to it really.

Just think that people always need a reminder on this matter, thus, the frequency of the similar topics .
But even though we've been seeing this often, many gamblers still have their approach that gambling can save their day.
People don't want to accept the reality most of the time, they are still in the bubble of dreams that one day, they can hit it big time.
Maybe, those who are creating similar threads need a reminder to themselves, if it will bring good to them, then so be it.
If you'll have to create a similar thread to remind yourself, Isn't it a little shitpost-ey? I'm not trying to be cynical here and I know there are benefits to these kinds of posts but one too many of these a week riddling the gambling discussion board is just a little too redundant in my opinion. If everyone who's ever thought of gambling for profit would post their life stories here and their realization this child board's gonna be filled with people just talking bout their silly little stories that we've already heard in the past.

Reserve the right for more fruitful posts to be made in this board. I know, gambling for profit is still a thing and I'm not saying we cut down on all posts that advocate for its relinquishment entirely, just one of it every month is more than enough, not every guy who lost their bankroll telling people what they realized after, only to gamble away their pots soon as they get the chance, posting all their stories. It's a little hypocritical in my opinion.

Again, I'm not trying to be cynical, not trying to antagonize people. Just wanted to see better posts here.

Hello mates

I thought I should drop this update here though I still count myself a newcomer and am still learning so don't know if this is actually the right board but am open for all kinds of corrections.

Well I donno how many of us here are familiar with the website @hesgoal.com, as its one of the major site football fans use in streaming of matches and getting updates on current scores in different games around the football  world. But for some reasons the website has been seized by the US government prior to violation of copyright rules as it appears on the website.

I donno know if anyone has actually notice but the rate at which major sites are proven to be unreliable is becoming alarming and I thought I should drop this so we the community can deliberate and discusse on some reasons to why this actions keep happening...

Sad news for football fans from over the globe. I don't personally use it as I'm not really that big on football but considering how massive the sport is, and how indispensable free stuff on the internet is nowadays, it's definitely going to be a big loss not having hesgoal for usage. In any case, I'm pretty sure there are other sites on the web that people can use, albeit some of them are perhaps riddled with ads and are definitely a little subpar compared the hesgoal, but it would suffice, until such site that's on par with hesgoal comes around once again.

I understand the laws that people must abide and all that but growing up on the age of internet as a poor bloke, I'm really saddened to see another pirate site going down amidst the huge crackdowns that the governments take to "protect intellectual property" which is just a load of bs.
1356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which New Technology will be adopted by the Gambling Industry? on: May 30, 2023, 07:13:27 PM
With technological advancements, a gambler can now enjoy his favorite casino game from the comfort of his home and even on the go. Convenience, accessibility, and expanding selection of online gambling platforms are sure to entice more players in the coming years. What do you think will be the subsequent big adoption in the Gambling industry in the future?

According to my understanding, there are two important innovations that will be adopted by the Gambling industry.

VR/AR Casinos:

Apple is in the process of launching its own VR/AR headset. After the release, I reckon that  Virtual Reality casinos will get a boost and will revolutionize the way we experience the thrill of the game. Imagine being transported to a virtual casino floor. With realistic sights and sounds, and interacting with other players from around the world.  I am assuming that VR technology is poised to create an immersive gambling experience like never before.

AI:

AI is gaining a lot of momentum in different business sectors. Considering its ability I guess casinos can use AI to monitor, analyze betting patterns, detect fraud, and prevent multiple security issues from AI bots. I do feel this technology might have been already implemented by gambling platforms. If a user can easily create bots to generate profits then casinos can also do the same for security purposes.


What do you guys think?
AI would have much of a place in the industry as the gambling world's already working with it right from the get-go. RNGs, interactions with virtual hostesses that aren't even humans in the first place, and many others are just a good example that AI has the industry in a chokehold. Albeit improvements in the recent renditions are definitely a welcome addition, but it doesn't necessarily equate to it becoming the next big thing because ever since the introduction of digital gambling means AI/computer brains have just been in the background of the success. VR on the other hand is a lost cause. Metaverse died off as fast as it took traction, AR is more of a novelty nowadays to play beat saber more than anything useful really, and people are starting to become more connected with the environment. Plus the industry relishes in its accessibility, if it implements VR it's just another thing that gamblers have to buy and what for? As if that would increase their chances of winning games.

If I may, I think the best case scenario is that every advertisement on the internet is going to be from gambling sites. I'm seeing it now, it's growing as we speak, and it's not that much but it's definitely taking over the mainstream social media.

In a scenario wheee everyone has a bitcoin, and they all use said bitcoins they own for transactions, effectively circulating the supply and fostering a currency-type economy, there is a huge possibility that bitcoin’s price will stabilize, but it must be said that this will also dump the value of bitcoin by a huge margin. There’s also the discussion of regulation which will definitely play its part when the topic of global adoption is raised. Still, it’s gonna take a long time for this to even warrant discussion, as it stands today bitcoin is valuable not for its currency nature, but for the fact that it is used by many to gain profits, so not only is bitcoin’s volatility rate really essential in rhe growth of the cryptocurrency king, but also its massive kryptonite.

I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big. Cheesy

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.
all my life, only my parents could threaten me to stop gambling even though in the end I returned to gambling after previously making promises to my parents

Over time, I have become more and more convinced that it is we ourselves who can change and direct our lives, as long as we can control our gambling habits then why should we stop gambling!!
I mean, if intervention was necessary to even have you consider stopping from gambling, then maybe something is really wrong with you, and I would've wished you did something in the past that will make sure you don't get back to gambling again but at the very least you knew the error of your ways and are now (I hope) making sure that you gamble responsibly, if not discontinue gambling at all. Realization is the first step towards successfully changing yourself, it's not necessarily going to be the definition of your success cause it's a long way from that but at the very least you got there already.

Let this be known, that if your spouse/relatives are already concerned about your gambling habits, then it most likely is really somethign that is dire no matter how much you downplay it. Have yourself checked and stop gambling altogether. Save yourself and the people around you the trouble of losing a valuable person from gambling addiction.

This is why I use incognito when I search for something or watch YouTube videos but I forget it sometimes so, I typically browse with the normal browsers that have cache/cookies recorded on them, and then eventually, I'll get to see the ads, and videos related to what I've most recently watched.
They may not be related to gambling ads but the most recent videos or searches that we do is what they'll throw us with the ads that they have.

Obviously the more you avoid such content the lesser you will view related advertising.
Avoid typing keywords that are related to the ads that you're annoying or when you do, use incognito or browsers that don't have these ads. There are browsers that are helpful when it's to these ad-blocking features. Or if not, download those adblockers for your sake to avoid these ads coming out to your browser.
Incognito browsing is great for the most part since it keeps your cookies from being traced (cookies are basically what they call 'internet trackers' which are the tiny bits of data that tells the site a lot about the user), but it still doesn't shield you from the gambling ads altogether. The best way you could really rid yourself of these pesky advertisements is through the use of ad blockers which they themselves blocks all ads, saving you the trouble of ever worrying about getting cut off from that stuff you're watching on Youtube by some unrelated advertisement. Plus using an ad blocker also disallows these sites from getting your cookies, and since you don't need to go incognito your search history is saved, which is especially helpful for people who tend to go back and forth on some sites and pages.

I have this kind of problem ever since I started online gambling. I’m always bored playing same bet amount while my bankroll just keep coming back and fort to my initial bank roll.

The real problem starts when I’m on a long losing streak with same bet amount let's say 5 win streak. My mind set change from relax gambling to chasing loss. Even after I recover my loss, I bet already in abnormal pattern so that I can earn profit in a fast way. I always conclude my mistake after gambling. I keep repeating this cycle. My gambling time only ended up if I’m on profit big time or 100% loss my bankroll. I don’t know but it’s very hard for to quit gambling when my bankroll is at loss or on a little bit profit.

Anyone here is successful doing a long shot bet? A point were you can be satisfied without considering your bankroll status and just pure fun on gambling experience?
I'd be a hypocrite if I say those kinds of losses didn't get to me back then. Way back then, I'm betting religiously so to speak. I only bet 1% of my bankroll to make sure that I have more games to play. The stress of losing a lot and winning a little will get to you really. So I tried doing the Martingale strat (you double your bet after every subsequent loss to make sure that your wins cover your losses). Until I realize that I don't have that hefty of a bankroll to carry on the strat after a few plays. It might work for you especially if you have a bigger pot, but for regular players this will never be the long shot solution they are looking for.

This was until I found out about just moving on. Sometimes losses can't really be recovered no matter how much games you play, and no matter how big your bag is to support your Martingale strategy. The best thing to do sometimes is to just quit while you still have something to keep, and then carry on the next day. It has saved me tons of money, and altogether allowed me to stay sane and safe from gambling addiction. I know this is not the conventional tip you're really looking for but it's better than belligerently wasting all your bankroll on one go.
