- There are only three of them that I have tried to play gambling at: stakes, bcgames, and wolfbet, but most of the time I play gambling at bc games. I just like their slot games because they really entertain me.

Now, if you are asking which is the best casino, the best casino is the one that always gives you profit most of the time and will play apart from the one that gives you comfort and entertainment. This was according to my assessment only.

In your mentioned crypto based exchanges the Stake was the first and most preferable crypto exchange around the world.Stake is the world first cryptocurrency based casino which was used by almost all the gambler in most of the countries.The best casino will allow you to win some money along with their profit.Some small casino only target the people money and doesn’t allow anyone to win the game.They will create the game based on the way all the win to their random bot.So it’s essential to use the most reputed casino to secure your money,because we are playing the gambling in the online form which need more security.

Asking of what casino is the best is not a straight question and can be a rhetorical question at some point. It is good and interesting if op direct the question in a way that is answerable with available links. We can have list of best casinos due to so many reasons but it's not so easy to grade all casinos and call a particular one the best. There are so many casinos online and we need to go for the ones that have good reviews from real users not from third parties sites. If we really want to gamble, there are different threads that grades casinos based on there features and terms.

It would be even better if we just leave our own personal reviews of casinos on the thread itself. Like we have favourite casinos in the list and we keep playing on them all the time. The simple review as to why we love the casino on which we play can also contribute lot of positivity into it. For example if I know that I play on Duelbits and Roobet all the time then I know the casinos inside out. I can answer most of the questions associated with these casino, have my personal opinion left out here, also talk about all type of slots that I might have played and much more on the list.

This way we can build nice and clean thread however it would need to be managed swiftly since threads could become large non ending over time. Maybe some google form to submit personal experience out of enthusiasm. Will it work?

Each person does have their own personal favorite which we know that we do have different taste and preference on things that we do encounter on which these kind of polls or voting arent really that something precise. When it comes to interest then each of us does have its own and this is why we do see different platforms does have different numbers of players who are really that playing.
Numbers are divided and this is why every site does have their own loyal players which they do find that the current platform or site they are in which they are really that comfortable on playing with or simply does really like that UI/UX in overall which it is also a contributing factor which it would really be making people stay even if there are places which do offers the same
set of games.

the only thing that may add the edge is the knowledge that you have about the game you choose to play.

If that statement is directed toward gambling games then it's wrong because you don't get any edge over the house for any game that you play just because of the knowledge you have about it, that's now how gambling games work. I know there are a few games that might require your knowledge such as poker or blackjack, but even in those games, you need luck to be able to get good cards that you can use with your experience to win the games, but knowledge alone wouldn't make you win.

That statement can be correct about sports betting because it's the only part of gambling where your knowledge and experience are the most important things since you will need to have experience and knowledge about a sport and the teams involved to be able to make good predictions and get an edge over the sportsbook. Luck does play its role in sports betting as well but it's not completely dependent on that.

At least when it comes to poker you are not playing against the house and instead you are playing against other players, it is true the house gets part of each pot if you are playing in a poker cash game, but taking into account the service they are providing this is a fair trade, still it is true that even with the right knowledge it could be difficult to get an edge over the casinos as they have a whole team behind them while the gambler has no one to rely other than themselves.

Doesnt really need up that critical thinking in trying out to differentiate in between poker/sports betting games to casino games on which we know that both things are different in speaking about
odds and chances for someone to win.It would really be that impossible that you cant really be able to determine on which one is really that indeed having the advantage if you are really that knowledgeable on which it is really that something pertains about sportsbetting or any card game which it would really be understandable on who does really have that edge
when it comes to this.

Speaking about staying safe then it would really be just that pertaining into things that you should really be that responsible when it comes to your spending.
You should really be able to know on when to stop and when to call it a day because we know that being that impulsive towards it would
really be just simply bringing up that harm.

Many people has being a gambling beneficiary and also Many other people is also not a gambling beneficiary, their is some people that gambling helps and some people also gambling did something, so maybe something that resulted good to someone in gambling might result bad for you in gambling, have the plan that gambling will increase your financial wallet, if you have the luck it may be effective but if you don't have the luck it may not be effective.so something I have to say is that gambling is a game of luck and opportunity it can give you opportunity and another person followed your direction and it fails the other, a gambling can enriched you or not.

It is very important for us to know how to say know when we are gambling too much since the effect can be detrimental to our personal health. It is very important for us to know what we are doing to avoid some of the consequences of the effects of gambling tok much. Those that had been in the gambling industry for a very long time can attest to the newbies of staying safe as a gambler. Sometimes it is good for us to ask questions so that we can be guided especially from those gurus that had been gambling for so long with results.

Health would really be affected if;

1. You had skipped out multiple meals
2. You had skipped out exercises
3. You have skipped out those hygienic things
4. You have skipped out on eating healthy
5. Lack of sleep
6. Extreme stress and anxiety

We know that gambling could really possibly give out this kind of effects or possibilities that you could really be able to experience out.
There's no way that you would really be going into a point on such manner. You are the ones who are making such situation or condition
and if you are really that not mindful about those pros and cons then you would really be that having a huge problem later on.

hey guys,
I was watching this video, where a popular twitch streamer who used to gamble and stream on twitch, had betted millions on slots and on online casino and losing till now.
watch and listen that video he tells why he thinks slots is rigged, the games are not random as the website shows. if you will see his more videos you will understand why is think like that.
I think he just talked about slots, but I also think games that are told provably fair by casinos are rigged in someway.

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.

other incidents are with mines when I bet big on mines even when selected on one bomb when i click to flip that box, the computer thinks and gives me small two or three wins then bust my all funds.
this incident is happened with me more than 6times on stake. dragon tower is father of all games here I never won on even taking lowest risk.

what do you think about this? are games which are played by computers are rigged? don't answer like we play for fun, we are responsible, we are bitcoiner we know to verify bets, etc.

Rigged or not, there's no way that you could really be able to tell or prove out not unless if there are really that those solid evidences but in overall it is really just that a normal behavior on pointing out some fingers on the time that you would really be experiencing those losses on which it would really be just that a common approach on having such hunches and accusations without having any bases
or simply not really that something been proven out and just said out those words due to extreme frustration and anger basing up on the situation that you are facing on.
It is really just that very normal act to be done by most people and having those assumptions that those games are totally rigged. If you are really that having doubts about someones legitimacy then it would really be just that right that you should really be sticking into those places on which you do see that most people been playing because this is something that you could be able to trust on.

Streamers are nothing else but players just like you but with the exception that they have many followers on social medias and specifically on their streaming platforms. As I said they are gamblers just like me and you but they will never share their losses. They will only share with you some exceptional moments when they make big wins. What's more interesting is that most of what they share with you is not true and it's all been faked. They are being paid to show you those exceptional moments and in reality they never lose anything.

But what about if the Streamer is someone who usually gambles on live, instead just uploading cut part of their gambling sessions?
There is a reason why it is more exciting for people in general to see gambling streamers in platforms like Twitch or similar, it is because they assume it is less likely whatever they are watching is fabricated or scripted and the person gambling is not faking their emotions. Though, in reality we all know that there are still ways for streamers to partake in apparent gambling but without having to put their own money at stake, as many people have mentioned in this thread.

Perhaps you are a person who rather to follow the highlights of streamers, instead watching their whole hours-long show. Nothing wrong about it, of course.

It's hard not to assume that some or even most of these streams are not fabricated especially if the streamers are sponsored by these casinos. They start with an unusual amount of bankroll which they'll play continuously, most of what I've watched are slots, and they'll start slowly and later on hit a massive jackpot which they'll show on their highlights. Also, it's hard to comprehend that they mostly hit jackpots every gambling sessions and almost always to be on a positive profit even with just playing slots.

But, yeah, there are some gambler streamers out there that I enjoy watching and I do believe that they are playing with real odds, same as others, and playing partly with their money and sponsored funds from the casino.

You would really be having that kind of thinking that its really that usually odd that these streamers are really that winning often on which you could really be able to say that there's something happening out there on which we dont know but there's no other ways that we could really be able to think but rather it would be possibly those games are rigged or being that fixed just for that influencer to have that good winning moments on which we know that once these big wins been hit then it is really that giving that positive vibes into those people who had been watching the stream
and ends up on making out that kind of deposit or registering but this is what they are really that working for on which getting registers and getting deposits.

That's the only thing we can think of. Watching the streamers gambling or as they promote a certain online casino, they often win which we all know is an impossible thing to happen. We have no idea what they do or whether the account being used is real or a demo account.

But all we know is that they are showing off their winnings to influence their viewers to try the gambling site they promote as they are getting paid and can gamble without using their own money.

Pretty sure on which they arent really that making use of their own money on the time that they do gamble on which im pretty much assure when it comes to that.
The only thing that we dont really know if those amounts are really that real or not or even speaking about the fairness of the games which it is really that odd that they do often
winning. We do know that there are indeed streamers on which they arent really that worth on watching of, and there are ones whose really that something that not entertaining at all.
The important thing on here is that you arent really that easily get hooked when everytime that there's something new that you do encounter, doesnt matter on what it is.

I was curious why a casino would turn into a trading platform all of a sudden but I later found out that OP misunderstood prediction for trading, that's no way near trading, because I can't use any tools or charts reading analysis on the platforms, they still functions as gambling because you just have to predict what will happen next, but there is a catch, if you are already a trader and you have your tools you can easily do your analysis on another platform before placing your bet, to me it's still a lot like gambling.

The problem with this is that you can never be sure where the casino is getting their data from.

Nowadays, you can go on many decentralized exchanges that allow you to leverage up to 100x of your balance....Leverage is gambling at any point. However, these platforms at least use many data points to ensure fairness.

The other problem is that these casinos do not charge anything for the position, while most the platforms mentioned usually have a fee structure, and charge interest on the leveraged position. That in itself is suspicious, no fees for leverage? What's the catch? The catch is probably manipulation through the data point.

I am sure if someone loaded up an account with $1,000,000, made large prediction bets and compared the data of losses against an oracle or a decentralized data point, there would be inconsistencies. However, no one will take that expensive experiment up

Casinos, decentralized exchanges, leverage. But, casino data sources' lack of transparency is particularly concerning. Yes, it's a major issue. Decentralized exchanges, on the other hand, offer leverage – up to 100x! That's massive. However, leverage is always gambling; everyone knows that. These platforms ensure fairness with many data points, which is admirable.

Casinos' no-fee policy is quite questionable. It asks several questions. Are data points manipulated? Definitely possible. A $1,000,000 attempt to find errors is mad, yet ingenious. The experiment is pricey, but someone should try it. It's crucial to resolve these concerns after your detailed analysis. Gambling and trade must be fair.

Wont really be that much of a concern yet every tick could really be that be always be checked on known exchangers if we are trying to go along with those price movements.
Yes, price ticks could really be that somewhat manipulated and since this isnt something that you could be able to check on charts or something that could apply some analysis
then it do really just perfectly fit on calling it a pure gambling experience. Imagining on having that 1000x leverage on which this is really that obviously a gamble.
Price needs to be that getting in line on what you had predicted on which it is really that something that you could really be able to apply any analysis to it on a short time
or simply just cant that possible.

Stake is a great recommendation indeed, but their UI is quite laggy especially when live betting which is an area they need to improve in asap.

Just out of curiosity, do you use the mobile version of Stake casino or do you play on desktop? I've never actually used the snartphone for gambling on Stake - I always play on my laptop. I wonder if that makes a difference and I haven't noticed any lagging or glitching on the desktop site, but maybe the mobile version needs more processing power or something?

I have been using Stake on my mobile device and all has been good traffic is excellent as long as I have a good internet connection, but aside from that I have not experienced any such difficulty as mentioned by my mate, I used to experience similar issues while I was playing on one of those casinos in the past, but ever since I start using stake I haven't noticed that here.

So best for me to stick to my stake and use my mobile device to play most of my favourite games, I recently got a new laptop but I have not tried logging in to my stake account from there but I may try that out also to know how it feels playing on desktop version of the casino.

desktop version for me is better than mobile phone as the screen is bigger obviously. try playing on your desktop and you will understand the difference of it. i can vouch stake as one of the top casinos as well as sportsbooks out there. not because i am one of the promoters but experience-wise, they are also fast in resolving any issue you submit to them. i think that's one of the reasons stake is good, their chat/technical support is quite good. they won't stop up until you are satisfied with the resolution of your prob. hard to find these days such great assistance from the site.

Basing up on the post given above about those rankings telling about Tier A to lower then i dont really see for it to be accurate basing up with my experience a couple of those platforms
which i do totally a little bit disagreeing about those rankings or setting up tiers which we know that most of below tiers are known ones or really that having
considerable recognition and popularity here on this forum. In choosing on which sports book then we do have a good list of legit ones and those been shown above.
Just make it sure that on the time that you decide on what are sites you are tending to make a deposit then its always recommended that you should really make up some research before you would really make a deposit.

There are some.security tips someone should follow. The most basic one is having the real URL bookmarked and making sure you are on an HTTPS url. Other than that, if you are connecting through a connection you don't really trust it might also be a good idea to use a VPN. This is why I like casinos that are friendly to VPNs, because it's also a security measure.

And in terms of passwords and usernames, always use different ones. Especially if you keep decent amountsin your casino account even for just a few minutes, you don't want to have people guessing your password based on what might have been leaked from other sites.

My measure setbacks with VPN usage os in the area of network sluggishness while on VPN because I have not enjoyed gambling using a VPN as bypass access, it makes the site load extremely slow and sometimes most features won't even load at all.

But if I off the VPN and try to access it with my free networks, it works fast and smoothly compared to what I always experienced with VPNs in the past.

Talking to those free VPN then it isnt shocking which this is what i do really experience on making use of them specially on Opera browser VPN access which loading times are really that slow
and this is why there's no point on making use of this if you arent something needing to hide.There are really just those people who doesnt really want for their IP address to be known but in todays
ISP on which it is really that always dynamic so its not really that much of an issue in speaking about IP location or whatsoever.

Going back into the issue about having those always logging in scenario then it would really be that kind of a hassle thing on which you do always do make out some log in details
or inputting those information but we do know that as long you do have trust into your connection and with your pc or mobile then it wont really be that
much of an issue honestly.

What an incredible instructive story! Thank you for sharing the screenshots, and it looks very exciting. I think that everyone could be in your situation because everyone is bored and everyone can go beyond their money management in gambling because of this. And then the game for entertainment can be very expensive for the deposit of fox funds. You certainly took a big risk, and you understand that. I think this story will make those who are one step away from playing with an increase in bets exponentially think.

And this is what this story demonstrates, there are many people out there which believe that only addicted gamblers will suffer huge losses when they gamble, but the truth is that no one has perfect control over their emotions, so something that begins as just another gambling session can degenerate into massive losses just because of a lapse in your judgment, consequentially gamblers need to always keep their emotions in check, and as soon as they bet more than what they wanted during a session they should stop immediately or huge losses may come their way.

No man can control himself completely. Addiction is just scary because no one can notice how much he is already addicted to gambling or other gambling. For example, the inability to promise yourself not to gamble for a while, for a year, may be the initial sign of gambling addiction. Therefore, you need not only to be able to analyze yourself, but also to share your inner state with other people.

Speak for yourself bug, if you can not control yourself in gambling, that does not mean that no body else can do it.
And again, addiction is not scary, and you can sure know how much addicted you are into gambling if you pay attention to your self and your activities and actions in gambling.

Someone who is conscious wit their gambling activities need not be told when they are already going out of control in gambling. There is what we call self-awareness.

Bring aware of yourself helps you understand yourself, your activities and your surroundings, a gambler who is self aware will know how to control him or herself from gambling overboard, in order to avoid unnecessary losses and possible addiction to gambling.

Listen bug, if someone thinks that they are in full control, then this is the first step to losing control.
You should always question your control and have a sufficient level of self-criticism and reflection for constant development. If you think that this is not about you, then that's your business, but self-confidence has not brought anyone to good. As well as not being able to communicate with interlocutors is disrespectful.

Someone could really be able to easily make out some claims about having those control or whatsoever word that it would come out into their mouths but everything would really be reflecting out on the things that they've been doing.Yes, its easy to say but on the time that you are on the actual situation then things turns out to be a mess or something that you have already forgotten on what you had set out earlier. Conditions like continuous losses on which it would really be creating that kind of emotion or feeling that will really be pushing you to the limit and this is something
that would really likely to happen. This is why its never been that good that you would be losing of control just because you have that losing that much, if you arent prepared to lose
money then dont gamble in the first place.

people who cling on to lotteries don’t care about the probability all they can think of is that there is a possibility of them spending a dollar and then having millions more the next morning that’s hugely inviting even i have daydreamed about winning the lottery a little more than once even if i know that the probability of me winning is very low but hey a little hope won’t kill (unless it becomes too much and you get addicted to buying lottery tickets which is a gambling form in itself)

There is no issue for someone trying their luck at different lotteries with as low as $1 being spent on each one knowing that winning it is all dependent on luck. One cannot win just for spending much money on the tickets. Still, the problems begin when a person starts to spend a lot of money on lotteries, and ignoring the probability of winning wouldn't make them win even if they spend everything they have to increase that to a higher percentage.

As long as one isn't lucky enough, they can't win anything in a lottery. I've seen people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in lotteries hoping to win the main prize but unfortunately they didn't, so spending so much time and then getting a reward that doesn't even compensate you for what you've spent isn't a wise idea, in my opinion.

The probability for us to bet on a particular lottery game might to 50/50 if we don't really have strong luck that will keep us going. For us to keep winning or to have a better look everytime we bet, we must be really to bet consistently since this is some of the pattern many gamblers are using to keep there income and profits steady. They are ready to gamble on different games even though the total exceed like 10 games per week. The more we try our luck by betting on risky games, the more higher probability we could have that will give us a good outcome.

Chances arent 50-50.lol
When it comes to odds and chances then it would really be that less -1% for you to win up lottery or sweepstakes but we know that whats the main reason on what makes people been driven to purchase tickets is into that once in a lifetime opportunity on changing up your life in terms of financial situation and this what makes them really that eager on buying those tickets. If we do speak about into those
strategic based games like sports betting or something similar then we know that it is something that could give out chance on hitting up the right spot. 50-50 chance i should say
when it comes on whose the winner but in speaking about lotteries and the odds on hitting up the jackpot is never been that near in comparison which it is really just that
a common sense to have.

I have an opportunity to choose what goal i want. I`m in sport betting and sometimes poker - types of gambling, where i can choose something, where not all depends on luck. In sport betting it was easy enough to make 2-3 bets per day with odds between 2 and 3. I`ve got stable profit about $800 per month. The income from my main job was higher and i had to spend much time for the gambling that`s why i stopped.
So now i know that i can get stable profit from the gambling but i don`t need it and can afford gambling for fun. But anyway i like to win, but it doesn`t mean that i will try myself to win everytime, or willn`t stop until win.

Only a few could really be able to make money with gambling on a point on which they could really be able to sustain themselves on doing so and this is where most gamblers are really that aiming for on which they could be able to make money with gambling and taking it as their main source. For some side income then it isnt really still that something that could be solidly considered knowing about the risks and it is really just really truly for fun. It is really just that there are people who do really anticipate for things to happen even if its really that impossible. There might be those people who do able to sustain on betting or making gambling but only a few could be able to do that. This is why it would really be always better that you shouldn't really be molding up that kind of idea
into your mind which we know that it would really be just that pushing you to play further and trying out to achieve on what you do have in mind.

If you can`t get stable profit from the gambling it doesn`t mean that others can`t do it. Now i bet mostly for emotions and still have stable profit every month. It is small enough, but i don`t spend much time for it and it isn`t necessary for me to get big profit from gambling.
Of course it doesn`t mean that everybody can do the same - everybody differs from other people and i don`t recommend to try get main income from gambling. I just say that it is possible to win regularly.

If you are really that able to experience this then 'hands down' and you are included into those gamblers who do really be able to make money with gambling which we do know that not
all would really be that profitable when it comes to this situation which most people are really that losers. Protecting your bankroll? it wont be necessary if you are really just that playing for fun
but if you are really that playing for money or profits then you would really be that definitely be doing your best on trying out to sustain for long but as long you are really that enjoying the
game then i dont really see any problems at all on trying to control your bankroll to enjoy more the game. It is really just that there are people who are really that getting lost control
on the time that they do gambling.

The strategy of funding accounts on multiple bookmakers is known to be used by people that want to catch the best odds when betting on sports for example. Sometimes people will monitor multiple platforms and bet when the odds allow then for a safe win. However, I am not sure if this strategy would be worth attempting when doing crypto-based betting on the sports books that offer it.

What are your thoughts on this? When you bet with crypto do you find it easier or harder to fund multiple accounts? Because I am getting a sense that crypto bettors are more compelled to shop around a lot more, but only until they find a bookmakers that fits their needs, and then they will hardly move any funds to other platforms. Surely thete must be some reasons behind this or even some very different takes. What are your thoughts?

One is enough and i do agree that having multiples would really be just causing some headache.Odds might differ but not really that much of your concern. It would really be giving out that minimal advantage but hassle you are making is something not really that worth. This is why i would really be just simply sticking into the bookie that i have been playing or betting for a while now.
Never intend to make use other platforms which considering that i have been having a pleasant experience and didnt have problems on the last 2 years of making up bets.
I dont mind about those advantageous approach because i do just simply love to bet and doesnt really go that much about technicality.

Imho, you can gamble in front of your kids as long as you have authority in their eyes or family. I assume you, your kid wont become addicted just from watching or trying to gamble. Gambling addiction is a kind of illness that isnt formed just by watching. As a parent, you would better worry about your authority, than hiding gambling hobby. Because lots of parents not just respect their parents, but trust more to things they see on the Internet and especially on YouTube. If a popular blogger says gambling is what a kid must do, then you can forbit, ban or talk as much as you want about potential addiction, it will be no use.

But this is not an authority in the eyes of the family or child and it is also not about gambling addiction just from watching their parents gambling, but rather about child curiosity when they see their parents playing some casino games.
You definitely know that children have high level of curiosity and they tend to want to try everything they see.
Gambling games provide feeling of pleasure that is quite addictive, even adults always come back and are addicted to gambling games let alone children who only think about fun and games.

I don't agree with your opinion but that is the right you have to express your thoughts.
If you are also father, you can feel what it like to educate children and avoid all forms of activities that have negative impact on their future.
Indeed, they can see gambling on various social media but it is your job to supervise and provide good education.

Just my two cents.

I have been gambling in front of my wife and kid. Not just once or twice. I have taught them rules of most popular games. We have even play poker for fun with monopoly money. I havent blocked any gambling content on iPads or iPhones. I dont rush to switch TV channel once flashy ad about gambling appears. In the end, we have zero gambling addicted persons in the family. Strange, isnt? According to what people say, the kid must have been already strongly addicted. I dont worry about addiction, because I see the kid shows zero interest to gambling. In fact, I see the kid is busy with video games, drawing and pottery. And shows low interest to money and how to "earn them without struggling much".

Well you have a good point as long as you are there and always looking at your child. I also know someone who is like you, he even plays with his son sometimes. I believe that it's really up to the parents, how they introduce them to gambling in a good way of course. Because we know that gambling is really fun.

It should be always that a fun stuff but you should really be that careful on dealing with it on active manner yet you wont really be noticing that it is really that already affecting you in terms of financial spending and this is one of the most common risks on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling.It isnt really that bad as long you do make yourself that responsible or wary about on the tendency of such possible scenarios or situations. Not all would really be having that kind of common sense and good decision making skills but rather they would really be sticking into something on whats up into their minds. You know people would really be that always loving on earning money on fastest way as possible on which we do know that this is a common or known human behavior
on which do really love easy money. Gambling in front of your kids or together with your kids? Its likely that children of yours would really be doing on the same stuff on the time that they do grow up.

It's true that some things we often see most times do come to our subconsciousness and before we know it, we've already begin to act them, when it comes to addiction, anyone can fall for it, be it a man or woman, we only have more men into gambling than how women participated in it, if we want to be a gambler, then it must be from the conclusion we made from our mind to do so and not because we by chance finds ourselves in such environment that got us into gambling.

Yes, both women and men can become victims of gambling addiction but I think the probability of women gamblers is quite less as compared to Men's gambling. The reason is that women have more control over their emotions as compared to men. Also, I feel that women more care about money and they can't see their money getting lost in gambling.

This may be another reason, why I believe that women are more sensitive and gambling is not their passion while men are fearless, want to take risks and therefore they feel more enjoyment in gambling and risking their money for big profits.

Women are better to stay away from gambling because they are very emotional and can hold loses for a long time with a physical reaction. Gambling is not really meant for women for the string ones can take a move and try betting if they are ready to take risk and take any loses they incurred. Gambling is meant for the strong not for people that can not take risk or will react when they start making loses. It is preferable for our women to stay away from gambling than to compete with men that are known to be risk takers in any thing thwy are doing.

I will like to argue this point but since majority of people will think the opposite, I think I will just let you go on with this particular thought but nonetheless the fact still remains that some women in my area do gamble alot and they can handle the losses that comes with it even more than the actual men you are talking about. I have seen some fair share of ladies in my area actually handling gambling activity quite well and I believe when it comes to the gender specification in human, it all depends on the environmental factor that the two gender is exposed to.

Totally situational and this is why its already expected that conditions would really be entirely be different into each place. Therefore, if they have said on the opposite thing basing on what you have said then its clear that its a male-dominant kind of thing that he's seeing into his place in speaking about gambling on which i do see for it to be normal but well just like as mentioned that there are women who are really that get involved with gambling too in some places and they are hell have that kind of control towards it knowing that women are really just that too soft and emotional
then they do still manage on handling up themselves on such condition.

It is really just that there would really be those people who do really love on discriminating other or opposite sexes just because they cant really be able to do such thing.
There's no way that you could really be able to underestimate or making up conclusions which we know that women are really that also capable on what men can do.

Data from the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) has revealed that over 65 million Nigerians actively engage in betting, spending an average of $15 daily. This is just as it disclosed that everyday, 14 million bet takes and payments are made online in the country. continue reading here....

Recalled that Nigeria population is estimated to be around 200+million and from the information above, over 65 million people are engaged in gambling on a daily basis amounting to over 32% of the country population. With the recent economic crisis and hardship affecting almost all the nations, if large number of people are spending this much on betting, can we say that they relied on gambling to survive?

But, I think we need to know how much betting sites are paying out daily too, so we can make comparison. Grin

When a third of the population is involved in gambling (and if you take away the children and the elderly who no longer need anything, then this is not a third, but rather half) then it looks like an epidemic. I don't know how bad gambling affects most Nigerians, maybe they have fun responsibly and don't have any problems with gambling, but from the outside it looks terrible.

Basing up on the numbers then it is really that quite alarming but if there's nothing that we can see about on some odd actions and doings then there's nothing we can do if they are really that a fan
on making up bets but as said that this is 3rd world country on which it does basically means that people arent really that mostly that being rich but still getting involved with gambling?
This do totally shows that they are really that addicted to gambling which basing up on the population number and the % of those gamblers then we can say that they are really that getting
involved that much with gambling. Gambling industry is really indeed making that huge revenue considering about almost a billion $$ a day? Whatt?
Just like you had mentioned on which this is really that still excluded on online crypto gambling too which means that numbers arent still that precise but
pretty sure it would really be just that more.

The guy, who wrote this article forgot to mention the 4th big benefit of gambling. It makes you lose weight. Grin

Why does it make you lose weight? Because you spend money on gambling instead of buying food. Grin

You eat less and you lose weight.
The added benefit is smoking less cigars and drinking less alcohol, because you have less money for tobacco and alcohol.
Jokes aside, I can't take the statement about gambling relieving stress seriously.
If I lose 10K USD via gambling, I definitely won't relieve any stress. My stress levels will actually go through the roof. Grin

Whenever i do see some words about talking for gambling to relieve stress then i do really totally contradictory with this word on which it would really be just that making you more stressful
rather than on having some entertainment or easing out your stress. Its true that there's no fun on losing money and this is why on the time that you would really be engaging with gambling then get prepared would really be the best thing to be done. If you do find out yourself that getting more stressed with it then gambling isnt for you.

This is also on what i do feel on the time that i do really play up with some gambling on which there are really moments that i do really get mad or having that kind of
impulsive feeling on which we know that losing is never been entertaining or something enjoyable. You should really get used to it
and its always been that recommended that you should only play on the amount which you can afford to lose.

Its evident that for affluent gamblers, reaching VIP status in their gambling activities is hardly a challenge, almost a breeze. Their financial standing allows them to wager hefty amounts, often millions, in pursuit of fleeting satisfaction. These VIP ranks are designed to attract high spenders by offering alluring advantages and benefits, therefore taking advantage of their propensity to spend excessively.

Poor and middle class gamblers will not be able to reach that level, VIP status is only profitable for rich people, don't ever hope to achieve it because it will definitely waste more money and time, after all what's interesting about pursuing VIP status just relying on Monthly bonuses and other facilities which of course require spending more, personally it's not attractive to me but maybe for rich gamblers they consider VIP status to be a symbol of their wealth.

VIP rewards became accessible even for low wagering players they have lower level. But don’t expect to get huge benefits if you are just playing very small amount since VIP is just a rakeback which is just a percentage to your wagering volume. Even if you reach high level VIP by playing small amount for a long time, You will still get small reward if your wager is just small.

It’s not totally spending more but rather wager more. You can wager 1000$ by just using 100$ so it means that you don’t need to spend huge just to have a decent reward from VIP. It’s all about the amount you are wagering in the casino.

A friend recently went to Las Vegas, he was curious about the place and went with the family and all. He said that the experience of real life is not at all like on-line gambling, it is impossible to not feel impressed by what is there, but the curious thing is that you will get free drinks even for a 1 usd bet on a slot machine. That type of treatment is just not possible on-line.

Las vegas casinos is been known to be one of the most popular when it comes to casinos which it is of course that the experience would really be that entirely be different if we do compare out to online world. Of course they would really be offering free drinks despite on having that $1 bet on online slots which they do know that even betting that small could turn out to be a big amount later on when gamblers starts on getting heated up or really that getting dragged with their emotions which we know that gambling experience on physical casinos are really that indeed interesting and something
that could boost up your interest considering on the ambiance that you are really that feeling on with.

Going back into the topic about getting those casino accounts on vip ranks? Its never been that easy and its never been cheap. If you do want to waste up money
on chasing those ranks then go ahead but if you wont really be minding that much then you wouldnt really be able to notice that you are already there
without stressing yourself that much.

I think this depends entirely on the game but as per my investigation about lotteries I found out that it takes long for at least three months from the drawing date to claim your prize, anything after is already too late, but the deadline can be extended up to a year too.

So yes lottery rewards can actually get expired, the duration depends on the lottery and the location where you bought it from, power ball time frame is different from mega millions and so on.

I think the best manner of approach is to always check the claiming deadline for a specific lottery to figure out when the ticket will expire, I've not particulate in any lottery before but I am sure that lottery tickets carry their expiring date at the back of the tickets, but not always.

When someone is winning in a lottery, It takes time before they claim their prizes especially if the winning amount is the jackpot prize since there's a lot of process to be done before they give the money. The lottery rewards may expire or they only give a duration how long does it takes for the winner to claim or to submit a documents for their prizes. You're right that the lottery ticket has their expiration date at the back of the tickets so better to always check. here in our country, the process of claiming the winning prize, the winner should present valid ID and the winning ticket and also needs to fill out the required forms and the tickets need to be validated. It takes time for the verification due to some legal process but once verified, Treasury dept will issue a check to the winner's name.

You are right, claiming lottery winning is one that takes time, and I personally believe that even the officials of the lottery know this and always allow an ample space of time for the winners to come forward and claim their winning.

I don't know what country you from, and let me also say that I am not from the US, but I've heard this story about a lucky guy from another country, who won the US lottery, the US government announced him the winner through the lottery website and asked him to come forward and claim his winning, it took about six months before the winner decided to send his uncle to US to go and claim the money on his behalf, with reasons like he doest want his identity known, the winner had to send his uncle who had no issues with being shown on TV and appeasing on newspaper headlines.

So, yeah, when it comes to national lottery at most, as much as every ticket does have expiry dates, there is always an ample space of time given to winners to claim their winnings, most especially, when it involves winning the jackpot.

If we do talk about physical lotteries or something that government been running then of course they would really be giving out that longer duration on when you would really be claiming your price
if you are the winner on which same as said that they might really be that in other country or far place on which we know that adjustments and transactions need to be dealt but in overall this is why i do love on betting on lotteries which is done lottery for me to avoid the hassle on going into other places if ever you do win.

When it comes to online lotteries then it wont really be that a problem since prizes or jackpots could really be that immediately get if ever you would really be able to hit.
There are really just those people who cant really just that take time on reading up some terms for them to be able to atleast being wary
about those terms for them not to ask out these kind of information.

When it comes on making some sports bet then i do only make use of one site and doesnt bother myself on trying to peak on other platforms.Basing up on the situation you've been saying then you are really that trying out to take advantage into those small odds changes on which it isnt really that a bad idea on trying out to maximize but for me then it isnt really that worth for the hassle or the time that you are spending on making out some registration and making out some deposits and other transactions or steps that you would really be needing to do so and it does really remove out that
fun and thrill since you are really that doing much work, even though it do really just that involves clicking but still i dont really like on doing such thing yet it would really be just
removing the excitement and the thrill and i do much prefer on doing or betting on a single platform.

That's a no-no for me, instead of financing him/her to play regardless his/her previous records, why not just put it on me and let me play the bet instead especially if its a lucky based games. Now if it's a sports book, maybe, for some reasons if i saw her/his previous bet results.
But high chance i wil not accept it lol, unless it's a lend/loan type for my security.

If a person asks you to finance their gambling activities as a loan that they will repay after a certain period of time, that's still understandable because you will at least know that you will get your money back even if the gambler loses it all, but if it's like a partnership thing where the profits will be split, then it's obviously foolish to do it since gambling is all about luck and no one can earn guaranteed profits from it because it's a business for the owners and not for the players.

When giving out such a loan, always make sure that the person asking for the loan is actually trusted and have a good track record of repaying loans on time and not stretching the deadlines all the time and still not paying the money because such people will make you bad look at the end if you keep asking them about the money.

the dilemma on this situation is it is hard to rely if your friend or that person will indeed honor your agreement. if he is losing, how can you expect his payments? maybe, you can give him his first loan, but if he didn't respect your arrangements, better not to enter the second one.
hard to trust gamblers esp if you are a gambler yourself. Tongue

so for me, better not to offer a loan or of that sort even if you are friends with them. a lot of good friends are being broken because of money.

For me then i wont really be that too easy when it comes to money even on how close we are as a friend. There's no such thing about giving out some finance support specially on gambling.
Even if you arent a gambler then its impossible that you wont really be able to know on what are the potential risks and problems into those people who are engaging into it.
