821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the best advice or should I just let him on: November 05, 2023, 04:08:05 PM
if you are certain about him getting addicted and you are concerned, then do it, but think carefully about how you do it, like you said, senior citizens are very sensitive to criticism. you can also just inform one of his children about your concerns.

He is a senior citizen and he has nothing to lose aside from his daily or monthly pension which will not devastate his life since he has family to support him financially. He is not a teenager anymore so I’m sure that he is just enjoying since he doesn’t have someone to accompany him on his daily life.

You should not interfere on other hobby/entertainment if they are not asking for an advice because it’s their life and it’s his family matter. You have nothing to gain if you will interfere while you can be at bad terms on him if he didn’t like what you said. There’s no upside here so just ignore him as best option.
the OP did say that he is concerned that his neighbour is getting addicted. the problem with gambling addiction is not just about financial loss, it can also negatively affect your relationship with the people around you(like his family).
I understand your point here if the subject is not a senior citizen. What kind of damage to the family which a senior citizen can be done while he is just gambling on his own assuming you remove financial loss here? I assume that he is living on his own since this is the typical setup of senior citizen in my country so I’m not sure what kind of damage you are pertaining.

The subject here is an old guy probably has a lot of experience than us. Interfering others life might cause you a consequence which you can avoid if you just ignore unless you are a person who really want to dip on other personal problem then go on.


Should I give him advice on how to manage his gambling activities or I just let him since he is just enjoying his senior years and doing things that he missed doing when he was still young? and what's the right approach, we all know senior citizens are sensitive to criticism.

I think I can ignore that for now unless he starts borrowing or neglecting his health he is new to gambling but a senior citizen who wants to gamble for the rest of his life is something to be concerned about, we have a saying here that old people should behave like a dignified person, maybe this will come to pass since its new to him and has nothing to do the whole day.
I get the notion that it is bad to grow old alone with money coming to you without doing anything and then suddenly find gambling very interesting to indulge in, is it possible that he will be like this until the end or until he is very old and cannot walk, maybe gambling is doing great on his mentality like he is more focus and find it energetic only time can tell.

This is the right approach bro, Just observe first because I knew a lot of senior citizen that just using gambling as source of entertainment since most of their family is busy on their own life. Just help him if you knew that he is already showing sign of extreme addiction like what you said. But according to your description, He is just having fun since he have the money and I knew a lot of oldies playing gambling most of the time since they hangout with other senior citizens in there like the weekends bingo at mall.  Cheesy

Any updates on the Sherbet Bitcoin Price prediction contest? I just checked Round 1 to 4 contests, and no one has confirmed the prize payment. It's been more than 1 month since the Round 1 winner was declared, yet the prize hasn't been confirmed.

Could one of the winners kindly confirm whether you have received the prize?

We have reported the contest results to the finance department. Just waiting for the main management decision. We have also announced the winners of the 4th round of the contest

Regards,
Jt

Waiting for decision? Does this means that there’s a chance that you will change the payment result? Your statement might cause a commotion here if the rewards is really not finalized before you start the contest.

I didn’t participate on the contest but I’m curious on what game needs to be wager the reward? Is there any specific game such as slot that wager of the money will be counted because I read on terms that you have different wagering count depending on the games played.

824  Economy / Gambling / Re: ✨ Shuffle.com | The next generation of crypto casinos | Sports, Casino + token on: November 04, 2023, 02:37:42 PM
My experience is just as you have said it, my problem with casino tokens is that, they mostly lack basic utilities that is needed to get them up on price, and even as good as holding them gives the holder some special bonuses from the casino that owns the token, casino tokens are still not ideal for long term hodling, as their prices often fall to the group never to come up again, especially when they are done listing the token on as many exchanges as they have planned for and can afford the listing fees.

But then, let's wait and see what this casino have in the pipeline, probably they must have done their research on other casino tokens and how they are performing so badly in the market, and have put plans in place to make sure theirs doesn't end up like the like of owl.games token(OWL) and BFG from BetFury.

The difference of this upcoming token to the typical casino token is that this casino token is a the form of airdrop not purchased by investors during IDO. I believe casino tokens will serve as reward token only for all the players who will play like rakeback rewards.

This way of token distribution will not be subjected to a lot of demand for utility since it will be given for free to all the loyal players in the casino. I believe it’s like JET tokens of coins.game which you can just convert it to any crypto currency once you get it from their bonuses.
So what you are telling me now is that, this token won't be listed on any exchange, and that it can't be traded anywhere?

That those who will be lucky enough to get the tokens through the coming airdrop won't be able to sell it directly to other people, but can only convert it to other crypto currency inside the casino if they want?

And that people can not be able to buy the tokens from anywhere, but can only earn it for free through the casino based on their gambling activities on the casino?

Well, if the answer to all the questions I asked be yes, then it's really a good idea. But unfortunately, I don't think the answer is yes,, but let's just watch and see.

I didn’t said that, You are the only one make assumption with that feature probably due to my lack of further explanation to my comment.  Cheesy, What I just want to emphasize here that this token will be different to the typical casino token like BFG and OWL because they have different approach of distribution. Meaning the main purpose of this token will be for rewarding players not the typical feature of Staking feature by other casino token.

There’s a possibility that the token will be listed on DEX but I’m just concerned to the liquidity pool of the token since there’s no investors money to be use on the LP which typically the money from IDO.

It will be great if Shuffle will provide initial liquidity of this token on DEX from their own pocket.

825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Demo vs Real slots on: November 04, 2023, 02:30:26 PM
Demo games are meant only for new comers to test the casino and it must have beeinbmade in a way to entice them into just giving the real game a chance.

Additionally, demo mode is for those user who want to try first the slot games before they start playing the real one regardless if the user is newbie.

Sometimes when I don’t have money in my account and still want to just gamble I normally switch to demo and at the end of the game I’ll notice so many wins and even some that I have never bee in opportuned to win when I’m in the real game: so if you’re new to the site and after playing the demo you noticed a high amount of win you’d just want to give the real game a chance hoping you’ll make the same amount you did during the demo.

I do this too most of the time but not when my balance is zero but rather when I’m too pissed off on my slot games for not hitting any bonus game while I spend a lot of spin already. I always use demo mode to satisfied my cravings for hitting bonus buy instead of buying it with real money since I know that bonus buy is very volatile.

827  Local / Altcoins (Pilipinas) / Re: Mga Dapat Iwasan At Tandaan Kung Sasali Sa Mga Airdrop on: November 04, 2023, 10:22:32 AM
Ang dami kong nakikitang mga FB group na focus sa mga airdrops na members lahat ay mga kababayan natin. Ang dami ko din nakita na madaming nabiktima na auto-withdraw kapag naglalagay sila ng pang gas fee nila. Hindi na bago yung ganung style ng mga airdrop scam, kaya dapat mag ingat. Dahil kung nasaan ang mga tao, nandun din ang mga scammer na nakafocus lang mangtangay ng pera ng mga mabibiktima nila. May mga airdrop na maganda ang bigayan at ganun lang din naman tulad ng dati na chambahan lang.

Kapag airdrops galing sa Facebook red flag na agad sa akin, para sa akin yang FB naging tirahan na mga scammer talaga. Konting palit lang ng account ng mga scammers or gawa lang ng new account sa FB maghahanap na ulit ng mabibiktima sa Facebook. Alam na alam kasi ng mga ito na madami silang makukuhang mga isda(mga walang alam sa airdrops).

Paulit-ulit lang talaga na mangyayari yan, padadalhan lang sila ng picture na amount ng pera at sasabihin na yung ang nakuhang amount at ang susunod na agad ay maniniwala na yung mga nabiktima dahil sa marites ng mga mapagsamantalang tao sa facebook.

Agree, Sobrang talamak na mga scammer sa facebook lalo na sa comment section ng kahit anong post. Ang nakakatakot pa ay mga foreigner yung mga scammer at halatang gumagamit lang ng google translate para maging tagalog yung post. Alam yata ng mga scammer na easy target lagi mga pinoy since sobrang active natin sa social media tapos sobrang gullible natin sa mga investment na sobrang laki ng return.

Kaya ako dn ay hindi nagche2ck ng mga link sa facebook kahit na kakilala ko nagpost since pwedeng hack account yung mga nagpost kaya talaga dapat ay never click link sa social media.
828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Conclusion after losing millions! that games are rigged. on: November 03, 2023, 05:54:32 PM
Here's a example what happens with me:
When I bet big suddenly on crash game on stake it every time stops and seems like the computer is thinking about results after waiting for sometimes i bust at 1x to 1.10x, I would had believed that it is random when this incident happens with me once or twice but it happened with me more than 10 times, I betted my all funds but every time on crash it waits and think to how to bust me on short time.

House game on Stake can be verified the fairness. I doubt they will rigged the game while they can be caught cheating through their probably fair system.

You only feel this because you bet big. You will notice everything if you are wagering what you can’t afford to lose since you will just ignore that bust bet if you only bet a penny on that round. Your luck is just bad at the time you choose to increase your bet. Check your bet history, You will notice that experience tons of this kind of early busy multiplier but you just not paying much attention on it because the amount involved is too small.
829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop the self entitlement claims on others gamblers winnings. on: November 03, 2023, 05:42:15 PM
Getting to X  (twitter) some people started dragging and criticizing the gambler and calling him names, that the N100k he gave to the punters out of N15.5M he had won was too small and that he could have done better. Below in the image  is one of many tweets from the critics.

This is a norm now since freedom of speech is already popular due to social media. I’m sure you knew that people have different preferences and attitudes which means we can have different approaches on a given scenario. Social makes people entitled to say their opinion so there’s always unsatisfactory comment on any post on social media on whatever topic it is.

Freedom of speech won’t make them stop and we should just leave them since they don’t represent the general public. Giving part of the winning no matter what the amount is already a good gesture of appreciation since other people won’t give you money when you lose tho.
830  Economy / Speculation / Re: back in 2015 we had a nice pre 1/2 ing streak. on: November 03, 2023, 03:55:34 PM

If we do the 2015 pattern from sept to dec we will rock 2 more months.

35000 x 1.21 = 42350 by dec 1
42350 x 1.1375 = 48173 by jan 1.

opinons and guesses?

I’m very new here when this happened and I remember I created my forum account because I’m curious why Bitcoin is pumping hard that time until I learn what’s Bitcoin halving. I believe Bitcoin will follow same pattern considering how the potential ETF approval gives us a huge hype while halving is already in few months.

The pump during pre halving is imminent but what I’m curious more if this pump will continue until the new ATH after the halving since there’s always a huge correction after huge event like this.
831  Economy / Gambling / Re: Evolution — report for Q3 (HOW THEY EARN THAT MUCH?) on: November 03, 2023, 03:51:02 PM
Their games are fair in the sense that they officially have an advantage over players, and they are not hiding it. Their profit is only telling us about how many gamblers are using their products, I don't understand why do you think it implies they are cheating. Like other people said in this thread, they don't need to cheat because they are making big money legally. Why risk your license?
I agree with you, they certainly don't rig their games. But I'm not sure they are always as fair as they could be. For example when they offer games with multipliers like lightning Roulette, Baccarat, BJ, etc. Why they don't use real dices, a physical wheel or a provably fair scheme in order to draw the multipliers? They just appear on a screen and nobody knows how and when they've been draw. Using a physical or provably fair tool would prevent them from offering smaller multipliers when more players are playing, when players have made big winnings or when the remaining shoe is not in favor of the house for example.

Can’t argue with this. Probably they do this so that they can timing the highest multiplier to the least amount of bets which they will reward the lucky hit or else their game will be not profitable at all.

Best example is how crazy time multiplier becomes low now compared when it was initially introduced. Before, Crazy multiplier is frequently above x100 but now you can get as low as x2 even on bonus game like coinflip and pachinko which is sucks due to the probability of hitting this bonus game.

  • Double down at 11 and hit Ace.
  • When my card is 20 and the dealer open card is 6 that later on turns to 21 after too many low card.
  • Place a huge side bet while the new player sit beside me get the max win on side instead of me because I switch sit.
  • Auto spin a 1mbtc bet on a volatile slot games.



833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake casino streamers! Why such streamers are very popular? on: November 02, 2023, 02:07:50 PM

What was the intention of the article? Who wrote the article?
The site is ltccasino, and probably they are targeting Stake streamers, so that readers could play on this casino instead of Stake (which mentioned streamers are advertising).

This article does not have a 100% intention to inform, but to steal players from another casino.

Correct, I’m confused why the article focus much on proving that streamer is doing fake game as popular while the real intention of streaming is to entertain user by watching the streamer playing the game regardless if they are using real money or not since the reaction of streamers is makes this kind of stream popular and not the money alone since anyone can use fake and stream but they can’t guarantee that there will be a viewers if the streamer doesn’t have pleasing personality.

834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: October 30, 2023, 04:54:28 PM
When someone is lonely and tries to look for ways to release that loneliness, it's okay to gamble just to release that stress hormones that you've got and when someone says that he's not into fun as he gambles,

I definitely won’t recommend gambling when you are stress or lonely since it can double or triple the pain you are experiencing if you manage to loss in gambling. Gambling is a double edge sword which can give you happiness when won and at the same time pain when lose. Casino has a house edge advantage which means the chance of losing money is high so it’s really dangerous for someone mentally unstable.

It’s better to hangout with friends or treat yourself a fancy dinner to spend your money instead of gambling just to kill your loneliness. Gambling is a fan activity if you are overall well so that you can enjoy the game.
835  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Kung focus sa growth ng company or project dapat ganun din sa security on: October 30, 2023, 04:09:37 PM
Lagi kasi na may way para mahack ang isang project since may mga inside job or human error pagdating sa coding. Sa sobrang dami ng code ay maaari talagang magkaroon ng loophole.

Habang sumisikat ang isang project ay mas lalong tumataas ang chance na mahack sila since nagiging main target sila ng mga hacker meaning dumadami ang threat. Even Binance ay nakakaranas din ng hack before even though sila na ang pinaka mayaman na crypto project which is may solid security sila.

Pero Agree na dapat talaga magfocus sila sa security but syempre more on marketing talaga ang mga project para kumita since yung ang pinaka main hoal ng company aside from whitepaper nila.

You can try https://livecasino.io. You will really like the site.
They don't have house games, do they?
What do you mean by house games? You means those like roulettes, blackjack and baccarat and others? They have. But I did not know OP is talking about a particular game called keto which are games about food or something like that. This is the first time that I heard about it. I look for such game on livecasino but I was unable to see it, but it is a good casinos and it has many games.

House games are those games that originally provided by the casino and not from other 3rd party games. It’s not about specific game but rather who developed the game. Livecasino.io understandably doesn’t have house game since they focus more on live games which they still doesn’t have on there own.

I believe their sister company cover the house games especially like the Bitcasino Blackjack.



I think you might be interested to try https://www.l0tt0.com/, it’s not a keno but it offers different lotto variations which is same mechanics to keno.
837  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Using a Credit Card Demonstrate Financial Literacy? on: October 30, 2023, 03:23:28 PM
Individuals who avoid using credit cards tend to have a higher probability of being debt-free, showcasing financial discipline, and experiencing greater satisfaction compared to those reliant on credit cards. What are your thoughts on this stance?

This is not an entirely true because not all credit card user is in the huge pile of debt. Some is using cash for investments and investments while generating profit more than the interest rate charge by credit card company. It’s true that the majority of credit card owners is reckless on spending but credit card is not entirely bad if you are using your cash for another things that generate income.

Even huge company ask loans for their businesses if they want to expand since loans/credits offer extra cash by just paying minimal interest rate which they can be paid easily from the business profit in long term.
838  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Casino Promotions Poll on: October 30, 2023, 02:47:44 PM
I would like to gather your opinions and preferences regarding online casino promotions.

Free spin and welcome bonus with low wagering requirements is the best casino promotion I really enjoy. I’m not a hardcore gambler which means rakeback and cashback is not my forte since I do bet minimal which means I only earn few of this rewards.

The 2 bonus that I mention above gives me a goal on gambling to play more until I hit my target wagering requirements. I’m not always availing this kind of promotion but I will choose these 2 over others if the wagering requirements is reasonable. I often play without any promotion to focus on the game alone.
839  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if there was only one cryptocurrency, which is Bitcoin? on: October 29, 2023, 03:22:36 PM
I don’t feel that bitcoin has any competitor to be honest and if they were no Altcoins the adoption of bitcoin doesn’t look like something that would be affected because even now the number of people that go into cryptocurrency are through bitcoin, so even without the other coins they will still come.

All blockchain project is Bitcoin competitor because all other blockchain exists because Bitcoin can’t handle scaling problem before way back when there’s no other popular blockchain alternative such as Ethereum.

Bitcoin blockchain is more popular because it’s the real decentralized blockchain among the bunch of blockchain that usually use PoS while the team holds the majority of the coin that affects the decision making towards the project.

I believe without other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin price may or may not pump since scaling problem is still the biggest issue now.

Pacquaio is always ready to fight Mayweather is so evasive for past couple of years. Do you think that this match up would really happen?
But several sources that I have read and see that Pacquiao's return in the boxing rematch between Mayweather is still a discussion that leads to speculation, This means that there is no definite decision yet, but I am sure that both boxers will show their best to their respective fans.

Pacquiao is not a politician anymore in our country after he loss the presidential election. He is now 100% devoted to his training and he reportedly open to have a match to any popular boxer that is currently champ.

I believe he still want to fight more since he keeps doing practice here in our country and no sign of retiring based on his interviews. Pacquiao is prepared to any match opportunity probably just to gain more money since he is known philanthropist in our country. His passionmon sports works perfectly to his love on helping others.
