1301  Economy / Gambling / Re: What sort of Weekly & Monthly Bonuses do Bitcointalk members want? on: February 17, 2023, 01:25:30 PM
This is truly a great idea and love it when I see casinos tryibg to get their users(customers) involved in their decision making process because to me it shows that the casino has some degree of respect for their users.
Bitcointalk members always loves bonuses just as any other human would love as well and I guess if you give the the option to suggestions, some wouldn't mind asking for a weekly as well as a monthly bonuse and to be frank, I would glad be in the matitude asking for both bonuses.
I really don't have any formula at head but I mosre of free spins and rack back will be great.

Aside from data gathering from users, they are doing this too as a promotion for their casino aside from their ANN thread. Engaging on user here might convert to potential customer in the future that’s many casino always do a survey, review and promotion that benefits both user and casino.

Free spins and rake back are the most common bonuses given by the casino. They only varies on the amount of spin and percentage of rakeback. I think having a free bet on any games without any wagering requirements is the best promotion in exchange for a certain activity done in the casino.

actually it is just the name that gives it as Bonus but the right term to use? is TRAP lol. imagine they will give certain bonus but you need to deposit first them need to wagger before hitting that bonus in which the truth is? will only favor them and not us gamblers.
-snip
do my thoughts stands the same , because you need to deposit before taking the bonuses   Grin but let us not argue about that because we as gamblers knows what is best for all of us , and we can deal with prevention and how? play only with trusted site and also do not go for bonuses but for the safeties of your gambling activities.

Maybe you misunderstood the word bonus. Bonus is an additional money given to your casino account in exchange for completing the requirements.  It’s not a trap because the rules is declared at the beginning so you have a choice to claim it or not given the terms. A trap bonus has a secret terms which user has no choice than to play in able to withdraw the money.

I think you are describing a giveaway because that’s where free money always being rewarded without any hard requirements.

Are you damn serious? It's casino, how can you aim to hit a winning streak to recover? What if you don't recover? Are you going to lose your whole balance?
If I were you, I would dedicate certain amount of money for gambling and wouldn't care about win/lose ration. It would be better for my mood, better for my budget and better for everyone.
Just my piece of advice: If you have been gambling for money for a while and find it difficult to stop yourself alone and do double bet and similar budget destroying things, just write down the plan that if the balance reaches X amount, you'll just turn off the game and don't gamble that day! Remind this to yourself, stick with your plans. If you feel nervous, just go to the GYM and spend your energy there.

Your reasoning is not cut out on gambling logically. The only way to win in the casino is to have a win streak. Let’s say you are increasing your bet to recover your loss, it’s still useless if you are not winning consistently no matter what is your strategy.

If I were you, I would dedicate certain amount of money for gambling and wouldn't care about win/lose ration. It would be better for my mood, better for my budget and better for everyone.


Why you will dedicate money on gambling if winning is not your top priority. This doesn’t make sense and a common post by user that doesn’t gamble at all. You can play gambling games on playstore and appstore using play money if your goal is not to have profit to save you time and money.

Just my piece of advice: If you have been gambling for money for a while and find it difficult to stop yourself alone and do double bet and similar budget destroying things, just write down the plan that if the balance reaches X amount, you'll just turn off the game and don't gamble that day! Remind this to yourself, stick with your plans. If you feel nervous, just go to the GYM and spend your energy there.

Your advice is a bit off-topic. I’m not asking an advice personally. This discussion is meant to determine what people typically on recovering loss. And if you are really a gambler I think I doubt that you can do your opinion personally.  Grin


1304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 on: February 16, 2023, 04:06:20 PM
I think of a scenario where the players themselves also bet on personal or team results, having inside information.
This is another question that deserves to be investigated.

It will be very hard to investigate on this conspiracy since everyone involved is benefiting for the inside information they can get. The only way to bust them is find someone inside that will betray address and leaked information to the authorities about what they are doing in the fixed match because it’s nonsense to conduct an investigation if there’s no lead on the case itself.

I believe this is the reason why case like matched fixing is very rare to caught because all accusation is just an speculation if there will be no evidence supporting the claim. Only a whistleblower can help authorities to established a case against this kind of organization.

1305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching children Bitcoin is not in vain on: February 16, 2023, 10:25:45 AM
This is not the first time topics about "teaching children Bitcoin" appear. My vision is let children be children. It is better to give them overall proper education and upbringing, then forcing them to learn Bitcoin. If a child wants to be a singer, why should he learn about Bitcoin? If a child has an interest in electronics, gadgets, finances, he will find out about Bitcoin himself. If Bitcoin gets mass adopted, the knowledge about it will come by itself.

The motives of most of people who wants to teach their kids about Bitcoin is financial, but not technology or possibilities. They want their kids to invest as early as possible, to learn how to double money. Because "if they invest now and earn more, they would afford to have more in future". I think if the kid has money to buy candy or a toy, let him do it, and it is parents duty to earn more to have their kids have tomorrow more than they have today.

Exactly, not only children but elderly too. I really hate involving those people that on this stage of life since they are meant to live their life according to what they preferred. There’s a lot of people living on the normal age bracket for financial ventures such as Bitcoin. We should focus only those age and don’t bother the minorities since they are already passed the investment phase or they are just starting to venture it once they grow.

People always paying attention on the wrong people just because they are an easy target to become subjected on investment even though they are not meant for it.
1306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Chasing losses - Double down bet or Bet twice? on: February 15, 2023, 11:01:06 AM
I always have a dilemma when it comes to chasing losses in gambling. When I’m in the good mood, I preferred betting using the same amount multiple times until I hit a winning streak to recover my lose but when I’m in bad mood, I usually increase my bet size equals to my total lose so that I can recover quickly.

What do you typically do when you are on chasing loss situation?
1307  Other / Meta / Re: A question about the source link in other people's texts on: February 13, 2023, 06:55:11 PM
As long as you input a source on a context that you just copy & paste word by word then you are not committing a plagiarism because you give credits to the source.

Plagiarism is writing someone else's context as if you are owning it without providing source.
1308  Economy / Reputation / Re: Why no Type 3 or even type 2 against Yogg. on: February 13, 2023, 05:50:23 PM
Isn't the positive trust supposed to be deleted when someone scamming? Or at least in Yogg's case, I'm seeing a lot of his positive trust because of the Coldkey purchase.
even some DT members gave him negative trust and positive one still exists Huh

Trust feedback is based on user experience on the current deal. There’s a date on the trust which means it’s already superseded by the bunch of negative trust rating. His reputation today is irrelevant on the transaction done in the past.

I believe it’s still good to remain those green trust to see his trust rating history and how he ruined his reputation here. Maybe a lesson to all us that we still need to be cautious on dealing someone here even with a good reputation.
1309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do casino and sports betting platform owners gamble as much as other people? on: February 13, 2023, 01:38:27 PM
Do you think that the owners of casinos and sports betting platform, gamble as much as other people do? If they gamble, do you think they gamble on their platform?
Business owners will not jump into a venture that they don't know themselves.

Same as casino owners. They will not jump into something that they don't know and knowing gambling is very addictive (to some), I believe that they gamble as much or even more as normal gamblers do.

Where are they gambling? I believe it's not on the casino or website that they own, but on other casinos or websites. Maybe they are doing this so they can see what are the features these casino or websites has and they might implement it into their own platform. I've also seen small gamblers here in our place who are also gambling, but on a different platform and not on their own platform.

Eddie the founder of Stake.com which you are promoting is the best example on casino owner that gambling on their own casino. He created promotion which is Stake vs Eddie that players on Stake needs to beat his multiplier in able to win. He is known for doing live stream of his game.

I believe other casino owner play on there own casino discreetly because they will not enter on this business if they are not into gambling by themselves.

As I new bie, how do I know someone is a scammer?

What should I do if I meet a scammer on Bitcointalk?

What should I do so I won't fall a victim of scam?
Please your contributions and advice will really appreciated.

Always check trust score for the feedback of DT on the user account. Also scammer will ask you to pay first, download something or send you a suspicious link via dm.

To avoid being scammed then you should use the forum anonymously and never reply to anyone who contact you first. Use a trusted escrow when you are dealing with someone here if you have an item that wants to buy.
1311  Economy / Gambling / Re: What else should an established crypto casino add? on: February 13, 2023, 12:30:53 PM
The majority of casinos have decided to let a third party to develop their games, and since the number of those developer companies is limited it is not surprising we are seeing the same games on different platforms.

However when a casino finds itself in a comfortable position and earning a lot of money there is little incentive to change, new casinos should be the ones offering all kind of new games, as if they are going to offer the same ones we can find at established casinos why bother making a deposit with them when we could get a better and more reliable experience with the top casinos?
That is the reason why in many casinos the games are always repeated, isn't there a casino that makes its own games? not that they should buy it from one supplier for all? If so, they should not have many games, but it would be something very original, I have done registration accounts in several casinos and I see that most of them are quite similar in their games, the slots are repeated in all the casinos, I do not see that there are differences that They can be appreciated, and that makes some like me get bored, that's why the classic games like poker, black jack, which are games that are easier to program and that are more entertaining.

As far as I am aware there are no casinos like that and it is not difficult to get why that is the case, casinos are a business and they will take the most effective path because if they do not then another casino will do and be more profitable than them and eventually this could lead them to bankruptcy.

And by far the most effective path for a casino is to let a specialized company to create their games instead of creating their games themselves as this will be too costly, but this has the drawback that makes most casinos to offer the same games.

Some has their own house game developed by themselves like Betfury and Duelbits. They have their own variation of different house which you can only play on their casino. House game is common on some huge casino but it’s not always being notice since gamblers preferred flashy games from 3rd party game provider instead of playing traditional games on house games.

I agree that 3rd party game provider has a better product compared to the house game because they specialized on it. Maybe in the future we can a casino that can develop their own game to compete 3rd party game quality. I think Evolution and Pragmatic are the best contender for this because they have their own slots and live games which is almost complete to have an exclusive casino.
1312  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Owl.games confiscated 0.1 BTC for rediculous reason on: February 12, 2023, 06:25:50 PM
And here yet another example of their horrible customer service......many questions from me in the livechat.....then after 19 hours I ask if they are even going to reply......and even that is now 2 days ago and they are not even reading it!




The only problem now was they are already gone in the forum and decided to focus on their live support and social media account. Their ANN thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5378280.1200 is already locked which means even if we proven them guilty which is more likely it is, We can’t still help you to recover your funds. I believe this is the main reason why they close their ANN thread so that no one can question them publicly and every user with problem will be pushed to use the customer support.

I think you should take priority first on securing to withdraw your initial balance then go to Askgambler to file a complaint about this casino.
1313  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you appreciate more Desktop or Phone on: February 12, 2023, 06:09:21 PM
Me too, I easily get tired playing games on PC compared to phone, as I can lay on my bed while choosing the best bet to take. Though, it's always good to play on desktop looking at the size of the screen. I mean, that's why the both were created, to suit our preferences. I have noticed that some phones can't open casino sites like desktop with their user interface.  Since the both solve problems differently, I appreciate desktop and phone together.

Exactly, Being able to have a comfortable position is what makes mobile phone popular on desktop on most of the user even though desktop has a better functionality. I believe most of us spends most of our time in computer on our job and we want to relax when we are playing gambling.

I only use desktop when I’m gambling and have a job at the same time because I have no choice on what device to use.
1314  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or Altcoin hold, sell or trade?? on: February 12, 2023, 04:32:53 PM
JUST ZOOM OUT.
Zoom Out means investing for a longer period of time. Actually, when you do this, the probability of achieving gains is the highest, because investing in the long term is most likely profitable.


The matter does not apply to altcoins because it fails to achieve continuous demand and therefore will not succeed in keeping the price high.
Bitcoin does this due to its popularity, decentralization and real demand outside of exchanges.

For me looking a chart like this in long run more scary especially if I will just buy for the first time. It’s really not appetizing to by on a chart like that was already forming a concave downward. Luckily I’m one of those investors that manage to buy and hold on below 10K level which is way I can still buy at any price above 20K since I’m still in profit from my past investment.

The only thing that scares me right is when will this long term rising movement will shift trend.
1315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Favorite Play’n Go Games and Experience on: February 12, 2023, 03:56:30 PM
I have a good experience on this provider because most of their slot games has different game mechanics and special feature that makes game play more fun. I try Raging Rex and Clash of Camelot but I never win more that x100 like some of you guys here experience.

I have a terrible luck on playing slots game but this provider together with pragmatic and Nolimitcity are the best slots in terms of game visual effect. I enjoy what’s happening on my screen when spinning but sadly no huge win despite a lot of action in reels.  Cheesy
1316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: February 11, 2023, 04:57:41 PM
on betting poker, blackjack and roulette, today I tried again to apply the martingale strategy to 2 games, namely blackjack and roulette.
In the game of blackjack, I managed to use the martingale strategy, but in the game of roulette, I failed to run out of funds after several consecutive losses.
I concluded that it would be easier and more promising to use the martingale strategy in the game of blackjack. if you want to use this strategy in roulette, you really have to have a big budget.
but if my conclusion is wrong, please let me know.
I have also used the maringale strategy in blackjack and roulette, but I use it more often in roulette because it can provide even greater profits.
And as you said, it is true that martingale requires a budget or money to bet more compared to using other strategies, but the amount of money needed can make us get bigger profits than the money we spend.
Maybe there are also a lot of gamblers out there who use this strategy because it has proven to be successful if they can survive and believe they can have luck by winning one of the games.
Of course there is nothing wrong with what you have said and I agree with that.

How come martingale is more effective on roulette while it’s result is purely based on luck while you can increase your winning edge on Blackjack if you use the standard strategy table plus extra 50% payment for a Blackjack cards which can give you an extra profit once you get that hand during your martingale strategy. I believe this strategy is more perfect on Blackjack because of the extra payment on same bet amount and  same winning chance rate compared to other games.
1317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best sportsbooks? (MMA and boxing) on: February 11, 2023, 02:17:32 PM

So far there is no particular sportsbook that only features MMA, boxing, and soccer. It would really be a cool niche to have one bookie that only has a listing of MMA fights or only boxing fights.

It would be very specific and will gather MMA fans in one sportsbook and perhaps they can bet each other inside. It's cool to see something like this.
If I have plans I would probably search for domains already that are related to Bitcoin like MMAbtc.com
In fact, there is actually no sportsbook that only specializes in MMA and Boxing betting because all the existing sportsbooks have lots of sports betting options in them and of the many choices that make gamblers interested and always use one of these sportsbooks.
Even if there is a sportsbook that only specializes in MMA and Boxing betting, then I'm sure that sportsbook will not be able to develop and last long because MMA and Boxing fans are not so much like football betting fans.
So it seems that from now on until whenever there will never be a sportsbook that only specializes in MMA and Boxing.

By the word specializing, It doesn’t mean they offer only MMA and Boxing but rather they focus on that particular sports through promotions specifically designed for that sports to attract players to bet on it. There’s really no sportsbook offering exclusive sports alone because bookmaker always have the bundle sports and it’s just a waste of resources to limit sports offered.

Some casino like Duelbits provides promotion on MMA and Boxing by giving extra odds on specific matches.

I assuming it’s chat GPT AI. I think it’s possible if someone will carefully check someone statement since AI just use data available on the web. I think a user that using an AI will have a post construction pattern as an AI which is noticeable if you are using the AI app to ask question or do something.

It will be a very hard task to catch them though.

Plan to do give away every month for top 3

Who make the best prediction

And profit the most

This how I think to attract winners.

Later on they we may hire them and pay them more.

Or allow them to add donation on their profile/subscription.

Will see how will it play out.
This is a good start and I am sure that you will add more gimmicks from time to time to ensure that many people are going to visit and interact on your blog because some might find monthly contests boring not unless if the prize that we are talking about here are huge of course but I like the idea of hiring your best predictor.

You will pay them but I am sure that you will also find a way on how you can earn more money. You can use those top predictors in your betting service. It must be a premium one of course. To have a donation box is I think not really effective because there will be users who will only hit and run or also called as leechers.

Don’t waste time here. The OP is already banned due to multiple ban evasion offense. This is already his 2nd account to evade ban. Also this guy is known for bragging and promising too good to be true offer just to seek an attention for his gambling experience.

I doubt that he will pay too on this contest even if he was not ban.

Just report this post to moderator so that this will be lock already since OP can’t open his account anymore to lock this.

Do you think it will be of advantage or disadvantage to my community?
If do not ask, do not tell them. People often abuse free information and may take it for granted because it was given to them on a platter of gold. Just do you, develop yourself in the bitcoin space and mind your own business. If they approach you or show interest them by all means teach them.
While on the other hand, you do not need to introduce bitcoin to people around you if you notice they do not give a hoot about it.

I believe the purpose of the thread is to share Bitcoin knowledge to community to help Bitcoin exposure. I believe this is a good ideas specially if all of us will do same small act to help Bitcoin. This is a hard task but this can be easily by doing a powerpoint that contains summary and key feature of Bitcoin.

I experience sharing Bitcoin on my friend in workplace and I successfully convinced 5 of my friends that is now a Bitcoin holder because they became interested on the blockchain.
