First off, don't tell us what to do with our own money lol. Huge majority of people like me who are able to responsibly gamble got sizable investments and multiple income streams that could keep us afloat for years on end. Gambling is more like a secondary hobby for us that we turn to when we couldn't enjoy our primary pastime activities fully. So yeah, while you're correct with the concept of "investing what you can afford to lose" (no shit captain obvious by the way) you'd come to realize that everyone in the trading industry/crypto world's already known about this since time immemorial, matter of fact the crypto variant came before we even realize that you could implement the same thing in the gambling industry and expect the same results.
Again, don't get me wrong, I appreciate the sympathy but the thing is that those would've worked well for other people who needed it, not for us responsible/sensible gamblers who knew how the game operates from the get-go and have managed to find ways to enjoy gambling even when we're losing money. Not gonna call you out on how hypocritical the post is considering you're promoting a casino (although it's a little minor to begin with so nothing out of order here really).

Every day, thousands of dollars enter or leave the treasury of casinos, and we always hear about a gambler who wins or loses a large sum of money.
The thing that caught my attention is that the casino never loses. The money that you win is not the property of the casino, but of another player. The casino is in the process of recycling the money that the players have invested. There is always a winner and a loser, and when you bet with an amount of money, you bet against the money of all the other players. If you win, they will pay you from their money, and if someone else wins, they will pay himBTCBTC from your money.
So the casino remains the biggest beneficiary, right?
Ever heard of the saying "The House Always Wins?" it's cause they do. Even when you win huge wads of cash. The thing is, the amount of people who win within the casino is for the most part controlled, but the amount of losers in a casino will always be at a massive disparity against those who win or breakeven against their bankroll. When you or someone else wins, you can bet your bottom dollar that not only will the casino have a piece of the proverbial pie that the winner's gonna get, they are also going to make sure that the losses they incurred from granting the winner their prize, they're going to get from someone else. Which is why I don't really see how supporting a casino works, if anything the only benefit that you're ever getting from the casino is the variety of games to play against and the sense of security knowing that they won't dupe you out of yoru winnings (at least for the most part). Also partly the reason why I got into the gambling business in the first place. My friends marinated me into playing with them knowing that I don't really play back then. They painted the picture of us playing with each other and using the casino as a medium, and had assured me that it's just our money that's going to be played with. Could be the same for other people in here as well, especially those who got into the gambling world because a friend of them invited them to play. |

I had a friend who use to play the gambling only when he consumed drugs,Sometimes he use yo win the money.But most of the time he loss the funds,when we have a chat on the weekend we shared our experiences.The reason of the loss in the drug consumption is the gambler will play the game without any hesitation to take risk.The gambling is the risky game,the gamblers who take huge risk some times make the huge multiple of betting dollars.But the risk doesn’t make him win,because the meaning of the risk is the possibility of losing and winning.Every month we meet each other,the odds between us is gambling.
My friend also added when he had huge winning in the night games without drugs,he had an habit of playing the gambling at the earning morning after wake up.It doesn’t mean an addiction,it was his dedication towards the game.But the sad part is he will loss sometimes if he wake up in the few hours sleep.When he had shared this I had advice him not to do the gambling in both in drugs or early morning games.Because we should not play the game at the early morning,because we are beginning the day.If the game give the loss in the early morning,the entire day will goes in a negative vibe.The new gamblers should take it as the lesson to avoid loss in gambling.
I'll do you one better, DON'T DO DRUGS EVER, yeah? Why set a precedent where you'd sound like you're kind of okay with people using drugs as long as they don't gamble afterwards. That's kinda stupid and some clown out there's gonna take your advice at heart and is going to really gamble sober, and then take hits of his drug of choice after his gambling session. Might as well just preach about not gambling at all at that point cause not having any addiction at all's better than having something to play with and then be addicted all at the same time. Pretty sure this friend of yours acts the same way whether sober or not. Could also be true that you're making this shit up although the percentage of people who are addicted to gambling that eventually became addicted to something else is pretty high especially within brick-and-mortar casino settings. But I digress, next time be more mindful of what you say, people are stupid and would take your word for it. Don't do drugs whether or not you're gambling, you're going to ruin your life more than it would ruin your game. If you can't help it, seek assistance and surround yourself with support, be with people who are willing to help you out of your addiction problem and if possible and necessary, admit yourself to a rehabilitation center. Be smart, don't wreck your life. |

In a recent interview with SEC chairman Gary Gensler, there was something that caught my attention. The chairman stated that "Bitcoin is not that decentralized". That's "partially due to the prominence of centralized crypto exchanges". You can read all about it here: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/14/cnbc-transcript-sec-chair-gary-gensler-speaks-with-cnbcs-squawk-box-today-.htmlI'm afraid he's right, especially when CEXs hold most of BTC's circulating supply (eg: Binance). It's even worse now with the recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC. Institutional investment companies like BlackRock, VanEck, and MicroStrategy are accumulating large amounts of the cryptocurrency. We're essentially selling our BTC to companies driven by mainstream governments' own interests. With this, Bitcoin's true value proposition has failed (banks win). At least, the code is open source. If BTC becomes compromised, what's stopping us from moving to a more decentralized chain in the future (Litecoin, Monero)? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.  It's certainly got some elements that you could mistake for being a little on the centralized side, but at the end of the day bitcoin is decentralized through and through. Like considering the fact that no one owns bitcoin besides those who had them in their wallets, are also far-reaching and global with little to no-wait time (in some cases let's be real here lol) sets the precedent that bitcoin's as decentralized as it can be. ETFs however would make you think it's centralized since now, companies could effectively sell bitcoins but at the end of the day, they aren't selling the coins, they are sellign you the rights to own the coin so you're basically paying for a title and not for the property/asset itself. So yeah, Common Gary L. He's always painted bitcoin in a precarious spot ever since he stepped into the throne. I don't like how he's painting bitcoin to be when millions of people around the planet had benefited from it and none of this would've happened in the first place if bitcoin's unreliable and centralized. Let that sink in. |

On July 17, 2023, Russia withdrew from the “grain agreement” and officially notified Turkey and Ukraine, as well as the UN secretariat, of its objection to the extension of the “grain deal” for the export of grain and other agricultural products from Ukrainian ports to the world market. In connection with the termination of the Black Sea Initiative and the curtailment of the maritime humanitarian corridor, from 00:00 Moscow time on July 20, 2023, all ships en route to Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea will be considered as potential carriers of military cargo. Accordingly, the flag countries of such vessels will be considered involved in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of the Kyiv regime, the Russian Defense Ministry said. Thus, Russia stated that it intends to sink any civilian ships that will be sent to the Black Sea ports of Ukraine. This will greatly complicate the delivery of agricultural products to many poor regions of the world. Due to Russia's sabotage of the "grain corridor" in recent months, the world has not received an additional 25 million tons of agricultural products from Ukraine. In total, 1,002 vessels left Ukrainian ports during the year of this agreement. According to the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, since the start of the “grain agreement”, more than 33 million tons of products of Ukrainian farmers have been exported to 45 countries of the world. It is worth noting that after withdrawing from the grain deal, Russia has been attacking Ukrainian ports with missiles and drones for the third night in a row, trying to hit terminals with Ukrainian grain. So, on July 19, 60,000 tons of grain were destroyed in the terminal of the Ukrainian port of Chornomorsk, which was planned to be delivered to the world market two months ago. With its piracy, Russia is blackmailing the whole world, trying to partially lift sanctions for its military invasion of Ukraine and jeopardizing food security in the world, thereby increasing the threat of hunger in many poor countries of the world. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://1prime.ru/state_regulation/20230719/841129477.html&ved=2ahUKEwjp-8fln5uAAxUCGhAIHUh2CGgQFnoECB4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw2Y-4 amIIxS74jQpfr8rfTw https://news.zerkalo.io/world/44156.htmlhttps://m.gordonua.com/news/war/rossiya-zayavila-chto-budet-schitat-vse-suda-idushchie-v-ukrainskie-porty-perevozchikami-gruzov-voennogo-naznacheniya-1673774.html This only relates to countries directly dependent upon Russia's export, which mind you is not a lot of countries to begin with. And while yes it could affect them drastically, we have better exporters in the form of Thailand and South Korea for the Asian Continent and Perhaps the temperate agricultural countries like Brazil and Portugal (correct me if I'm wrong) for the western hemisphere, so it's not like the countries who were just outed because of this selfish tactic's out of options. It's pretty much the same thing as what happened with Ukraine and Russia, the latter wishes to annex it once again just like back in the Soviet Union days to make use of their resources and increase power against the opposition that's brewing against other countries. In any case, we'll see how this pans out in the long run. I'm thinking countries affected by the grain agreement will eventually find a way to circumvent the issues that they will face from this which would effectively hurt Russia's economy even more considering that's one more country out of their alliances/payroll. Oh well. |

Because people are so blinded by the promise of earning huge amounts of money in the quickest time possible which makes them think that trading is an easy process when in reality, the amount of time it'd take for you to really become an effective a trader as anyone's at least 2-4 years by my estimate, and that not only includes actually applying practical knowledge but also learning every single little thing, past, present and the future about the trading landscape of the venture of your choice.
Most traders especially those who haven't been oriented to the trading industry would jump a couple of steps thinking it's all good and wouldn't do them any harm when in fact it could very well cause them all their bankroll. People so eager to earn money but so lazy to learn the methodical and surefire way to get there. And of course, we get the defeatists who would quit at the first sight of loss and would immediately blame bitcoin/the trading venture they invested time and money with, it's been like that for these early folks and it's not gonna change anytime soon. At least in my opinion. As time goes by however, these people wrongfully critical of trading will eventually learn the ropes and would become effective traders. Supposing the losses they incurred in the past as "charge to experience". provided that they keep with it. So while it sucks there's some silver lining to it at the end of the day.

One thign I am sure that we cannot neglect as crypto enthusiast is the our need to continually be informed and make good decisions, to be a part of a fast growing and information based space like ours(crypto space) does come with a responsibility that all of us must bear for ourselves and that is to seek knowledge.
As members of this community, relying on our past information would be very shortsighted of us especially when
Scammers are continually looking for new ways to compromise our security and get to us, sudden news can happen that can throw traders off balance or even make us holders to miss out on opportunities to buy cause we were ill informed. Just one wrong move, like clicking on a malicious link or ignoring critical news, can have very negative consequences. Also, the right information can lead to significant gains or safeguard your holdings.
It Is important and for our own good that we dopt a culture of continuous learning and upgrading our selves, by staying informed we would not only protect ourselves, but also increase our chances of success, there are countless reasons why making informed decision is good, but action on this solely is our responsibility and only we can make those decisions for ourselves, yes indeed the community is here to help you, but at times before you know it your already and victim. knowledge is power, and it's up to us to harness it for our benefit.
More important than being very informed, is being very critical about the information that you receive/gain. It's one thing to be a wet sponge for all the information on the planet that you could acquire. It's another to be very smart about choosing which information to retain and which not to. But how would you do it specifically? Well, you first have to have the innate ability to be utterly skeptical about information you deem suspicious, and even if it doesn't give you the heebie-jeebies, I suggest you still go the extra mile and be very critical about the information in question. You also have to compare and contrast information against different sources, and with that being said receive information not only from a single source to make sure you're not forming biases and creating your opinions and decisions around them. It's your responsibility to always be on top of what's happening in the crypto scene, but the sense of community that we have in this industry induces people into sharing their best practices and information towards each other. Being very critical and skeptcial about the information that you receive will ensure that you stay well-informed, and you keep misinformation at bay for you and the people you'd share these valuable information with. |

For those of you who would make this their first rodeo if ever, I suggest not rushing things headlong.
Even during bull-runs there is the high propensity of losing your money in the process, and it could very well happen to anyone, more so people like you who have limited knowledge about the bitcoin landscape. I know you guys are eager to turn a profit while the iron is hot but I can guarantee you that ensuring your money's secured is just as important as making profit while you're in the bull run. In the event that you do make bank in the bull run ensuing, and you lose it all eventually, don't beat yourself up for it. There's a great chance you'll lose all of your money from your first bull run especially if you're not really that acquainted with financial literacy but at the same time, pushing to continue working with the crypto industry even during months/years when money's low, is going to be your greatest bread and butter for success in the industry.
DCA but don't agressively push for it. Keep it at a natural pace that you can easily follow through. Invest in knowledge and make sure that you don't fall for obvious whammies in the industry, this is going to be very common especially during times when the crypto industry's at an all-time-high. That's all that you really need to know. You stand to gain everything that is good in this industry, just play your cards right.

Saw from LoyceV what you're talking about and I must say, you kinda had it coming with those weak-ass posts lol.
Forum's come far from the Satoshi Nakamoto-centric posts and the ones that you have made in regards to this thread you created are just a little too weak to my tastes. Initially I thought you had your own thread locked cause you already got your answers but I guess you just got your thread locked cause it was way too elementary. Next time, focus more on creating worthwhile content that are thought-provoking, or perhaps don't create posts at all if you couldn't do that.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to create constructive and smart posts anyway, just conduct your own researches, all it takes is a single search on google and it shouldn't take you a while after to find really compelling crypto-related topics that doesn't just involve Satoshi Nakamoto's identity cause it's all been established that he's not gonna show up now or ever. He's living his own life now having fun with the billions he inadvertently made . Invest in knowledge, create constructive posts, and I'd bet you your sweet bippy that you won't get your posts locked next time.

It is not like that for everyone. It depends on the kind of browser and VPN you are using. The more private your connection is the more captchas you may likely solve. You can try using If you have persistent difficulties with the CAPTCHA, go here after logging in. to bypass the captcha but be careful as that link can be used to brute force your login because captchas help slow down brute forcing process since they have to be solved manually. As for screen verification when you try accessing some pages especially when you click ALL it happens when the forum traffic is high. The last DDoS attack was on BPIP so an Enter button was added to first be clicked before being able to access BPIP. It was like that on me, and I wasn't using any VPN although I do have an ad block present on my browser right now which I don't think is enough to interfere with the internet connection. I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Cloudflare Human Verification redirection page that you happen upon when you load on a certain page in this forum, which I have experienced for a while now but has not been that big of a nuisance to me as it apparently is for the OP. In any case I don't think it's got anything to do with you internet connection or how fast it it. I have a 150 mbps connection connected directly through LAN and I also used my phone's data service to open pages in the site, both times I get the cloudflare human verification redirection page when loading on specifically large threads. So my inference is that it's got something to do with the loading times or the data size that some threads in the forum carry. To buffer the site and allow the whole shit to load while also preventing brute-forcing the forum through these vulnerabilities cloudflare which is a hosting service automatically places these to slow the user down to an acceptable degree. I personally wouldn't mind it unless it always asks you to complete the CAPTCHA (it automatically solves the captcha on my end) and if that were the case for you OP, I suggest you look for solutions on the internet. For the most part I think our guess is as good as yours as to why this happens and how to prevent it. |

I heard in a post a few days ago that this forum used to have paid advertisements but later Theymos decided to stop those advertisements. This question came into my mind so I thought to ask you guys that on which area of the forum those advertisements were displayed.
When were those advertisements stopped and what were the advertisers paying the forum to display their advertisements over here?
I think it was a great decision of Theymos to stop paid advertisements but when those paid advertisements were stopped?
If it's possible and if someone has any of the screenshots of that time then kindly share that as well so we can see how the forum used to look when the advertisements were displayed on the forum.
There was back in the days although I don't really know the specifics when it comes to dates of when it was implemented and when it was removed. Although from sources I have collected regarding this matter (cause back then I was kinda curious about how this forum earns money besides the traffic) and from what I could derive Theymos decided to take advertising away from the forum because they're practically swimming in crypto anyway and do not need the extra push in cents that ads will provide them. Still, personally I don't think advertisements' died in this forum. I'd argue that it took on a new form however in the form of signatures and signature campaigns. When in the past you'd get a massive banner everywhere you go on the forum, now, you become the driving force for engagement and interaction over products and services and you get to represent the product you are proud of while getting a portion of the payment itself, which is good through and through. While we definitely could make a different case for spammers and those who spread shitposts within the forum, one could say that the current system of advertisement in this forum works fine and dandy already, and it doesn't need any change whatsoever. |

People have their reasons, but generally speaking you shouldn’t really go out there flexing your wealth at anyone. The very mistake that these nouveau riche crypto bros who got their first big break commit is to flaunt and flex their money without a care in the world or a care for their safety. They are so intoxicated by the money and the esrnings that they’ve accumulated over time, along with the apparent fame you could get cause somehow every bull run we get a new opinionated crypto guru who happened to know everything there is to know about crypto. When they could’ve settled with being lowley and remaining on a low profile for the sake of your safety and sanity.
Trist me, as time goes ny you will realize that no amount of wealth could top off prime sense of security. Which you wouldn’t get from telling people you have x amount of bitcoins and you could make them as rich as you.

Personally, I got my bank closing/freezing my account on me and leaving me unable o touch the money I have in place in there all because they find out that I am using or at least is earning money through cryptocurrencies. This was during the height of the crypto craze in 2021 and out of nowhere UnionBank, a very lenient and top banking provider in the Philippines decided that one day they’d start going against the very reason they received an upsurge of usage and trust within this whole time period, and they couldn’t even bother having us retain usage of our money.
Or don’t, I could care less at this point as I accepted that I wouldn’t really be able to get a hold of that account anymore without proving that I am who I am in the documents through mountains of paperwork which honestly I don’t need to really worry myself with.
So yeah, given your question OP, I think thats still dependent on the banking/provider to really prove whether they are suitable for crypto users or not.

Do you think Bitcoin has gone against Satoshi Nakamoto’s original intentions and embarked on a non-decentralized path?
Whether it did or didn't, Satoshi's got no say in how bitcoin works anymore at this point. His brainchild's began to grow its own pair of wings and fly away from the coop, away from Satoshi's influence and reach so no matter how much bitcoin's strayed from the ideal path that Satoshi has created, if he even created any in the first place, it wouldn't matter at all because bitcoin's the people's property now and not his. Personally speaking I think Satoshi even intended for it to be this way, otherwise he wouldn't implement a specific feature that will eventually centralize the whole supply of the network to the few millions/thousands of users at the upper echelon of the bitcoin hierarchy. He understands that bitcoin, as decentralized as it is isn't going to be decentralized through and through, and would require a little bit of centralization to service millions of people with no issue. I think you're overthinking this, the fact that you're appealing to someone who didn't even bother to show his/her/their face to the public's a little too tangential. I say you focus on your investment first and foremost if you have any, and make Satoshi's desires the least of your worries. |

If they start print money they can print money but they have to make sure that money does not stay in USA If too much money stays in USA that Will trigger inflation and yes they can give to companies but the Same time in order to make sure companies don't make wages higher there must be a lot company taxes per employers so this way the companies don't make wages high and this way money does not going in to real economy like shops and local business enterprises so this way we avoid inflation.
Also If the global money markets rates will be cut and federal reserve will cut rates then the commercial banks will keep the rates still up for the retail customers.
And war will take money out of USA to ukraine and Israel so that will make israel and ukraine currency lower but it will save the USA dollar from inflation.
If the Europe Will do the Same how i just said then they can start print money and avoid inflation the key point is to make sure the money does not getting into circlelation in real economy but it will stay on off shore banks and financial instutions accounts and on the markets and assets like crypto stocks commodities and gold oil.
So this time no stimulus for people but instead of that goverments together with some hedge funds and wall street can give people what they need like food and housing.
So this way no inflation and no danger of dollar devaluation and If we reduce using moneuy for everyday expenses instead of that we can pay with reward points gift cards and with credit cads and probably soon the food stamps or vouchers.
Becouse the inflation is serious now If we want to produce money and support markets and give money to wall street so they can make profit to support the leverage trading and give funding to margin maintance to keep well short and long market system them we must be sure no matter how big we print brrrrrr and keep rates lower we don't let the commercial banks rates much lower and we make sure real economy don't get much money in circlation and we rise taxes more If there will be companies who make some wages higher so higher the wages the higher will be taxes this way it Will keep economy stable not over booming only boom can be happening in the markets but with strickt capital control to make the companies don't let the money in to real economy.
We tell to companies to use amex or other high limit cards for their puraches just to avoid the fact that there Will be too much money in real economy this time we can not let the real economy to prosperus we need to be very careful with inflation.
Could work but I don't think countries will be willing to buy out a weakening currency right now, not unless they are willing to trade resources which the US doesn't have. The best case scenario for the US to thrive amidst this economic turmoil is not only selling their currencies to unassuming countries who still think the US is the only superpower on the planet. They could also lean into mobilizing their economic efforts on countries they have attacked like Iraq who is apparently rich in natural oil, and perhaps also look into mobilizing their economy instead of allocating a massive amount of their budget into military. While I understand the risks that this may ensue especially against a brewing war between the western and eastern hemispheres of the planet, Mutually assured destruction still sets the precedent of an equally-devastating attack against opponents even if the US's military weakens because of the budget allocation. So it's not like the countries in question's just gonna attack the United States of America just cause they are struggling with money. The US is in a precarious situation at the moment that disallows it from committing any more stupid mistakes in the process. What they need right now is not necessarily a stronger army but an economy that will save them from recession, which changing the definition thereof wouldn't really do. |

The context is that of users of Coin Cloud Bitcoin ATM users in USA and Brazil. Though the company file for bankruptcy in February 2023, and I believe that all their Bitcoin ATM network is now non-operational, somewhere along the line hackers claim to have managed to make away with a bunch of very concerning personal data for something like 300.000 customers, alongside some 70.000 selfies provided at the ATMs themselves. The hackers are sharing their claims in private channels. Specifically, the stolen information seems to be: <…> Social Security Number, Date of Birth, First Name, Last Name, e-mail address, Telephone Number, Current Occupation, Physical Address, and more. <…>
Once more, KYC sensible data has been (potentially) filtered at a very dangerous level, including information of user’s home addresses and complete names. Though not mentioned, one wonders if linked addresses and/or TXs may also form part of the breach, which would only worsen the situation by providing some tenancy information on top of the above (this is my speculation, not information cited in the below referenced sources). See: https://cointelegraph.com/news/coin-cloud-data-hack-united-states-brazilhttps://twitter.com/vxunderground/status/1723749038057574425 Fuck. The very moment that you put you guard down and actually try out a bitcoin ATM, you subject yourself to risks of not only having your bitcoins stolen, but also getting your identity stolen at the same damn time. Since Coin Cloud's not operational anymore, who's gonna be responsible for the recompense that these 300k users will have to receive given the fact that their important info just got into the wrong hands. As someone who personally experienced a similar situation as these poor folks (I got my PC contracted with a malware who not only stole my wallet's contents, but also stole important files on my harddrive and even went so far as to use my PC as an ethereum miner), what I would highly suggest they do is immediately get to the police to file a formal complaint even if the details on how to get the perpetrators apprehended are a little cloudy at the moment. The thing is that the police and justice units must know about this first and deem this as a major threat to mobilize their units and have them get to the bottom of this whole situation. Plus it's not that hard to imagine these hackers being in the same state or perhaps country as the victims considering that they only attacked a singular brand of ATM, which means investigation could go smooth and safe for the users who just got their information leaked. While investigation is carrying on they need to secure their information by making sure that all their emails, if unable to be deleted, have their passwords changed and their 2FA activated. Their mobile numbers must also be changed, these are the most important things one should do soon as they find out they are exploited for the information they can provide. |

Hi everyone!
I have arranged an interview with the owner of a crypto casino (I will not disclose the brand name yet).
I think the interview will be more interesting if I add questions that other gamblers are interested in to my questions.
So, if you would like to ask anything, drop your questions here.
The interview will be posted here, so you won't miss answers to your questions.
I have a couple if you'd bother including mine in your interview. Also, is this for the academe or are you going to post this on a platform for content? If you would do the latter I'd highly suggest you get back to us with the content itself after you've conducted the interview. Would be really awesome to see how it goes for you and the casino owner you'll be having on your panel. Anyways, here are the questions I have: - How do they take part/charge in ensuring that their gamblers/casino enjoyers are protected from gambling addiction? I ask this question not to put the blame on casinos for inducing gambling addiction amongst their players (even though let's be real here, gambling addiction wouldn't be a thing if casinos didn't exist in the first place) but to see how they take part in helping the common Joe be safe from this destructive mental affliction.
- Going technical here, what are their house edge percentage? Does it vary from game to game or is it uniform across the casino? How did they come up with that number? Asking this question enables us to understand the inner workings of a casino including their profit structure, giving us a glimpse of what it really looks like when you're a casino owner
Anyways, that's all of the questions I really have for casino owners. For the most part I'm not the type to inquire everything and would instead research every question I have by myself but I'll take this opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of casino if I could lol. |

I know everyone has their own strategy and somehow most people can be using same strategy that I am about to share here.
The strategies includes:
1. Club position: most times the position of a club matters a lot because it tells you whether a club is striving to top the table or whether they are striving to leave relegation zone.
2. Point: This is another strategy i use while betting because it also tells you whether a club can or will loss a match or not, sometimes a club can be topping a league with 8 -10 point difference and because of this point difference they can decide to play anyhow they want better still reserve players for more important match because whether they loss or win they are still topping the league.
However, a club that has this point difference, let say they are expecting a champions league quarter or semi finals, it is very possible that they can loss or draw their league by reserving players for the upcoming champions league.
3. Head to head: a club head to head (history) is very important because sometimes it could be that the people topping the league always loss or draw with the people fighting to go out of relegation. No matter how form the people topping the league is the possibility or chance of losing the match is 80% because of their history that's why sometimes you see a big club always losing to a small club.
These are mine strategies and there are some i can't remember for now, try this and thank me later.
Isn't this common for football? I mean as what others have pointed out this strategy's the basis of some bookmakers already so what difference does it really make? Most games are 50-50 anyway when broken down. The only strategy I bother myself with learning when I tried sportsbetting is knowing what the team you're going to be betting on and against. I don't bet on teams that I don't have knowledge about since that's going to cook me in the end when I realize that I made a bet without even knowing what the wager is. For the most part this is pretty much the only recipe for success that gamblers/bettors should look into and to top it all off, it's not gonna cost them brain cells to even learn and routinely use. Trivializing things that are supposed to be easy is one of the biggest mistakes you would make as a gambler, sportsbetting definitely has its own sets of kinks which could change the percentages of wins across teams but you're not part of any team, you're an observer who could put his hands on all the teams of your choosing so in theory, whether you play more or not the chances of you earning back all your losses or your losing back all your winning's pretty up there. |

It's good to have a source of income at first before you start gambling but I want to talk about this even more, do you know that even with your source of income you might be at one spot and not move forward?
No progression means you are no different from someone who have no source of income, I know someone who work so hard, I mean the hard jobs, that I can't even do, but at the end of the month when he gets paid he always waste everything on gambling, as if something told him that gambling is the way in this world for him.
He can't stop this, he can't help it, he is addicted to this way, I knew this after he start going around asking for things that he should be able to afford as a worker, he confessed that he lost money at first but the same thing kept happening for months and I find out that he is risking all his salary on gambling.
Is there anyway to help this person? I have given some advice to start using small percentage of the whole salary and safe the rest but still couldn't, and I don't want to help him to hold his money for him, he is over 28 years old, not a underage.
He have gotten used to this way because he started gambling all by himself and he won some money but end up even fuelling his addiction. What is next? Any tip?
Ahh, I see where you're coming from and I quite agree with the fact that some of our gambling friends here are "not addicted to gambling per se" but are oftentimes seen wasting all their paychecks on gambling, not good if I do say so myself. Which is why I started incorporating a gambling bankroll that is self-sustaining cause nowadays being safe from gambling addiction's just not gonna cut it anymore, you have to make sure that you also aren't using your pocket money to support your gambling indulgences if you wanna stay afloat. Personally, I have a bankroll that I don't use for anything else than gambling, it's not that much anyway as it's only a couple thousand dollars in there separate from all of my bank accounts and all that. I use money from that bankroll to support my gambling desires, and have made it self-sustaining by incorporating a net-profit system of play (three losses or three wins = quit for the day) which allowed me to preserve the immediate value of the bankroll for quite some time now. You don't have to be scrooge mcduck to have your own bankroll and support your gambling journey without taking it out of your pocket. If anything I say this is something that you should look into the moment you decide you want to gamble more. |

I was discussing with a friend yesterday about the choice of Casinos and the great incentives that comes with trying out these new legitimate platforms. He told me bluntly that he doesn't try out new platforms because it will make him gamble more and will waste his time trying to understand their UI, terms and conditions and their support system. He stressed that he has already developed fondness with a few sites that treats him fine and he even has their support hot lines in case of any issues.
I challenged him that there were exciting offers in these new casinos that he's missing out on but he stressed that he was not interested in their offers, he has already built his gambling life around these few casinos and until they disappoint him, he's sold out to them.
what do you think?. Do you believe he is right with the rigid approach to gambling?, also should I continue convincing him to try out something new and enjoy these great offers?.
Your friend has a point. The average gambler wouldn't have a dedicated bankroll that's meant for gambling only anyway, so it's not like they would be able to have a strict budget to be used across all gambling sites that they have frequented over the past few months/years. However, what I wouldn't really recommend is being so sentimental about something that wouldn't even care for you soon as they chew you up and spat you out. I gamble for entertainment and visit sites that have awesome offers in my opinion. I don't stick to one casino per se because it helps me make sure that I keep my options open should things between me and my current casino sour. It also ensures that I don't just build a parasocial relationship with the casino and the folks that built it which your friend clearly has started to create with the casino of his choice as, it's going to foster even more opportunities to be addicted to the casino that he's devoted himself into. As for UI, let's be real here, a lot of casinos on the market are pretty much cookie-cutter versions of giant casinos like Stake, you wouldn't have a hard time figuring out the things and offerings that they have so getting lost in the UI's going to be the least of his worries when he starts exploring other casinos. |
