Yeah, i've seen lots ads from 1xbet on filipino influencers being ignorant about the reputation of the site

So do I.
I guess they're on it for the money and just have to advertise it without doing much background checking to what they've agreed to advertise with.

everytime i watched a video promoting it i eventually skip the video or wont finish it at all.
I usually ignore them when I see it or they start to talk about it. It's just too worrisome that their followers are being encouraged to visit the site.
That's how things are with these kinds of influencers here on the Philippines where they don't really care about the reputation of the platform they are promoting as long as they get paid. They'll just include a disclosure that not all could win as it's a gamble and if ever the platform they promoted turns out to be a scam, they'll just sympathise with their followers and tell them that they also got scam from that.

I personally perceived freebitcoin only as a faucet when I first learned about this site. I remember freebitcoin had a lot of advertising banners, and I guess this type of advertising was one of the main sources of its income at that time. So the fact that freebitcoin managed to grow from a regular faucet to a gambling site with a multimillion audience is really impressive.
That's actually true, freebitcoin is one of the longest running faucet out here on the crypto market and by far the most successful one. If you're one of the users of freebitcoin way back, you'll know how high the coins they are giving out as it was based on the price of bitcoin. I remember that the highest jackpot was around 1 bitcoin and I'm not sure if anyone was able to receive that.
Anyways, as far as I know, fb has always been a gambling/faucet platform since the multiply dice game has always been there.
That's basically how I use freebitco.in as well, that's the point of this place for me. I make some income from both affiliates and also from faucet and even wheel etc etc, mainly from affiliates. That's "my" money technically, even if it is not in my wallet or anything and it's in here, if I ever wanted to withdraw it, I totally could. But do I do that? Nope, I just end up gambling it away, every single time as well. That's mainly because there is a good amount of fun to have here and I have that fun anytime I want from the income I have here.

If you get some money and you want to gamble it here, it's definitely one of the best places to do it. I still say that design part needs rework, but the rewards are just too huge to give up.
The same goes for me way back, even after earning certain amount from referrals and hourly faucet, I mostly gamble it all before doing any withdrawal transaction on my account. I guess, the reason I mainly do this is because the value of the coins I earn back then is almost the same as what we earn on the current freebitcoin faucet which is why I don't mind gambling it anytime but the difference is that you will be able to withdraw back then even with low value coins since transaction fee don't cost much before.

224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We lose on the long run through return percentage on: January 28, 2023, 10:49:40 PM
Users don't lose, it's the rules of the game, let's start with the percentage of the house they tell you, it varies according to the game, so you assume or know that for every 100 you leave a 1% commission to the casino.  (E.g.)

So as a player you have fun or try to play to hit a multiplier that takes you out of that strip.

Eventually, in the long term, if these variations do not occur in your favor, you fall at the indicated point, it is mere mathematics, hence the phrase the house never loses and the casino also depends on that long term, but it has 1% insured (for example, can be any other)

That is why the game of Poker is so popular because it allows you to be a winner in the long term, difficult, but it is more feasible to profit.

Exactly, having the term of the house always win doesn't mean that the users or gamblers will lose rather it just mean that the house has always the advantage depending on which game it is.
Just as you've mentioned with the multiplier, you'll notice that it is not always 50/50 for the house and the gambler but rather they have more. Example is when you try to play any dice game that has a times 2 multiplier but the odds will shows much lower than 50%
225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hit And Run Gambling - Can The House Be Beaten This way? on: January 28, 2023, 09:05:52 PM
Hi gamblers, it's a simple question I want to ask...

Remember it is said that, in gambling, the house always wins, I Want us to look at this two scenarios and tell if this are not actually a way to win/beat the house..

Imagine yourself as a new gambler who just joined a casino, played a few dollars and with luck on your side, you win money running into thousands of dollars, will withdrawing your money plus winnings from that casino, never to return there to play again, mean you have beaten that casino?

Secondly, imagine that on your first day of gambling, you gambled $200 and in the process, won money running into hundreds of thousands of dollars, you withdraw the money and start up your own business, and never returned to gambling again, isn't this one way to beat the house?
Both of the scenarios you've provided could be considered as a way that you've beaten the casino or the house. For me, if you have been able to win or on a positive gain on a casino, that could also mean that you've beaten the casino.

Also, for the first scenario that you've mentioned, this was one of my methods before where I would try out and create accounts on different casino then will play a few games and leave once I've won a certain amount and never come back. It feels like I have beginners luck on those platforms.

This story is really interesting but also very funny and why will contributions done by an entire class be given to just one person in this very generation?
I think if she's of age then she should face the legal rots of the law and serve the necessary jail terms so it can all learn from these stories and take precautionary measures. The parents should be held to come make the necessary payments because it was their duty to train their ward the right way. I'm not blaming him so hard for using the class money but I'm blaming him for ow being so greedy even after the first payment was made and that is really bad and I guess it's because he wanted more money to flunct         
Actually, these kinds of scenario are quite common if you think of it especially on schools or universities as we entrust our funds to one person only which has been assigned to it especially for group projects and thesis. However, along with that are temptation from the person whose holding the funds to spend those with their own personal choice.

Also, if he's already a legal age then he and only him is responsible for this kind of issue. His parents are not responsible to his actions anymore and is not required to pay for the loss funds. And yes, you can blame him for not being trustworthy on keeping the funds safe.
227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this safe to say this about casino platforms on: January 27, 2023, 08:14:58 PM
Is it safe to say that casino platforms is running their business with users find only? I read somewhere that they pay winners with losers money, I couldn't ask him or her if a casino can start business with zero fund at hand, I know that most of them wired their system to favour them more ( lose more and win less ) , if not they will run out of business fast I belief, what do you think about this? Was I wrong about this? Come to think of this, there is no prove that they have some money to pay winners.

Well, you need some initial investment (decent one) so your statement is not 100% correct. Other than that, you're almost right - online casino is a piece of software programmed in a way to bring profit to it's developer/owner. There's a certain % of funds which can be won, the rest stays at the casino "the house always wins" they say.  Cool
When it comes to the decent initial investment, I guess it would mean a huge sum of funds which could atleast cover some high roller bets. Also, even if the house always win, there are some that aren't since they still follow the probably fair rules and guidelines which may sometimes go in favor of the bettor.
228  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: January 26, 2023, 11:04:14 PM
For some reason, it seems to me that this player easily parted with this amount.

Or it comes to mind that he was managing other people's money, and wanted to earn quick commissions by betting on a reliable outcome.

Anyway, this should be a great lesson for those with gambling problems.
If that person was really is managing someone else funds and wanted to earn a quick buck then he f*cked up on losing on this one. This could potentially cause him some jail time unless he will be able to cover the loss on that bet.

I could also imagine these kinds of things happening on those investment schemes where people would be paid off in a certain amount of time by investing and those people will they've invested on will trade their funds or gamble with it.

Nope, it is not safe to say that casinos are running with user's fund only. Just like any other businesses, Casinos are required to have a capital to begin or start with and unlike any other business, they will need to have a huge capital to anticipate high rollers on their platform. If ever, you encounter such a casino which would not pay if ever you win due to lack of funds then it's safe to say that platform is a scam which could not run for a long term.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This Smells Like Hypocrisy on: January 23, 2023, 10:14:20 PM
~snip~

To me, this seems hypocritical. You claim that gambling is illegal, but you may bet on horse racing, Pachinko, bicycle racing, boat racing, and Mahjong, which baffles me. I do not seem to understand. Why is that so? You claim it is unlawful, yet wagering on games that are overseen by the government is not unlawful. Is this not hypocritical? What does the government fear?
It may seem like or even be hypocrisy itself for them to ban gambling on the country while allowing some games where obvious and vulgar gambling is included however what they are doing have help them to lower the amount of gambling activities on the country as they only allow a limited number of games to play on.

Actually, if you look into it much more deeper, you'll be able to know that there are a lot of games that may look and feel like gambling itself.
231  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you appreciate more Desktop or Phone on: January 22, 2023, 11:37:46 PM
I am strongly in favour of desktop applications or even web based, as I think that phones are usually to small and I do not really trust much the apps, but there seems to be many people who would rather use their phone. Is that because they do not have access to a desktop computer? It may also be a regional issue, the same as people that do not use a browser?

I'm using my mobile for most daily tasks and also gambling. Not sure what exactly do you mean by "people that do not use a browser"? You mean like mobile app users? Not all websites have mobile apps, besides mobile apps consume lots of space on my mobile and I hate those push notifications so I'm trying to use websites instead if possible.  Cool
Exactly, there are some websites that doesn't have any mobile application however PC users has much more options as they have application that can duplicate a mobile phone.

For me, it's much more convenient to use mobile phone especially if those website are mobile friendly such as some gambling platform are too mobile friendly which I feel better to play on.
232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice on choosing a crypto casino on: January 21, 2023, 11:05:23 PM
Not silly question, I like the way you research platforms before choosing right one for you. Just check gambling board of the forum and find casino Ann threads to read feedback of users. Currently, Stake DuelBits Bitcasino Roobet Gamdom and other similar casinos have great welcome offers, I doubt you will regret registering on mentioned platforms. Best of luck!
We are not advised to explore each casino to know its reputation, all reputable casinos on the gambling board have been tested and guaranteed safety factors because the casino is licensed. So simply choose a casino from the top list of casinos in the forum according to individual preference.
Not really if you're exploring trusted casinos throughout the forum then I don't think you will not have any issue testing out reputable platforms to better experience which platform suits you most. Even I do it on most platforms that shows up on the forum whether it's new or not just to know if their platform will suit what I want on a gambling platform. However, when testing out new gambling platforms, I make sure that I input different account information from my main ones.
233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's a good idea to just register on casino on: January 21, 2023, 10:25:17 PM
There is a counter argument where we are talking about a situation on how registering would give you more money in some cases so it would be smarter to not register on places that you do not gamble, just in case if they ever offer any promotion for people who would like to register and get something.

I am not saying that you should not register anywhere, if you want to gamble at some places then you should be gambling there and register for it but if you have absolutely no intention of gambling in a place, maybe not registering there and waiting for them to have some sort of bonus to people who would register could end up being better for you in the long run.
Actually, I have been registered to multiple casino platforms that have surfaced here on the forum and I have been receiving multiple emails from some of them about bonuses however I don't think that those bonuses that they offer really do hold great value as a gambler since most of them has a crazy requirement which only active users can only achieve those requirements.

It is much better to stick with the welcome bonuses given by these casinos rather than wait for those random bonuses they offer that won't actually make you go back to gambling on the platform.
234  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Crazy fishing games - May naglalaro ba nito dito? on: January 21, 2023, 10:14:26 PM
Babalik pa dn siguro ito dahil nagooperate pa naman ang casino. Sayang din yung effort sa pagtatanim although libre lng naman.  Cheesy

Paano naa-access ang casino part? Kasi iyong kawawa kong tropa na todo promote ng crazy fishing games nung kasagsagan eh pinakita pa sa akin na dun mismo sa login page, ang nakalagay is server is shutting down or basta mga ganyan term kasi di ko masyado sya pinapansin nung nagtatanong siya sa akin kung scam na ba.

Pero kung common sense ang gagamitin, wag na mag-expect na babalik pa ang larong yan.

Tagged na as scam yan at kung magbabalik man, hay naku patawarin ang mga users na talagang magbabalak pang maglaro at maginvest.
Eto po ba yung mga pinopromote ng mga social media influencer sa facebook na kung saan pwede ka daw kumita ng walang ginagawa or need mo lang maglabas ng konti para makapagrisk sa gambling games nila? If oo, mukhang marami marami rin yung nabiktima nila sa kanilang laro since alam naman natin kung gaano kadali maimpluwensyahan yung mga viewers at fans ng mga social media influencers.

Anyways, Kung huminto na yung platform at some point tapos bumalik lang ulit, bakit kailangan mo pang maglaro pa kung alam mong anytime pwede nila ihinto ulit yung laro. Common sense na lang talaga at sana wala o kakaunti na lang yung mabiktima ni sa laro nila.

Go with the flow na lang kabayan at kung posible, ipagpatuloy lang ang pag-accumulate kung ang goal is to hodl for long.

Ma-stress lang ang iba pag expectations agad ang pinairal sa kada galaw ng price. Iyong tipong, mag-up ng $1,000 bullish na raw at pag nag-down ng $1,000, bearish na ulit. Kung tutuusin, wala pang bullish or bearish movement na nangyayari since nag-settle ang price sa recorded bottom nito.

Much better, for the meantime na iconsider ang recent price movement as a normal day in the market.
Di ko gets bakit ang daming na-stress ngayon dahil sa movement ng market ni bitcoin ngayon. Yes, may pump na nangyayari pero I don't think na ito na talaga yung inaasahan natin na buwelo o tyempo  na biglang maging bullish and bitcoin ng tuluyan rather normal pump lang sya since hindi pa naman talaga sobrang taas ng inangat compared sa previous price nito.

Continue lang talaga mag-accumulate hangang sa susunod na taon para mas maging handa tayo sa exciting part ni bitcoin.
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: QUESTION: For Gambling Enthusiasts ❗❗ on: January 20, 2023, 10:08:02 PM
For a pure fun experience, I would choose the first option which is Casino A as most of the games included in it are Luck- Based games which for me is the main purpose of gambling itself. However, there are some games included on Casino B that may be a PVP type of game but also depends on luck such as card games like poker.

For a competitive gameplay experience, Casino B would be the best pick as it will depend on the skills of each player itself whether they may have a chance of winning or not. I try to avoid these type of games as you'll often encounter very good player which only focuses on one game like Pool. I tried playing on a local Pool near me for fun and included some bets on it, but I was obliterated by their experience and skills.

Is this just about gambling or in general?  In general, Desktop or web-based are much more proficient and user-friendly than mobile-based platforms. If given a chance, I would always choose to access platforms and websites on my PC than my phone as you can see and check more information through this however in terms of convenience, mobile phones are much more convenient as you can access these platforms and websites anytime and anywhere as long as you have access on the internet.

In gambling, I mostly gable on my PC as I am able to multitask and do other things while I am gambling however there are some instances where I would rather choose gambling on my mobile phone especially when gambling platforms have a website that is mobile-friendly like Stake and Primedice where I can freely gamble while I'm on my bed.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a perfect example of a degenerate gambler. Don't be like OP, don't become a degenerate gambler!

I agree. There seems to be something suspicious going on here.

This story bears a striking resemblance to the troll known as Fishy001, with a similar level of poor writing skills, comparable accounts of both significant losses and victories in the casino, as well as the presentation of false evidence. OP, do you have any association with Fishy001 account?

I thought I'm the only to notice this and was checking if yahoo was here to call it out as both accounts has a lot of resemblance when it comes to posting patterns and sharing things like doing drugs, and unusual huge bets.

Anyways, Congrats on the win and hopefully you're not the same troll as Fishy001. I can't say that what OP did is great but rather he just got lucky and things could get worse if he lose during those as chasing loses is never a good idea.
239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice on choosing a crypto casino on: January 19, 2023, 11:57:16 PM
OP it's as simple as ABC, check in the gambling board there are lots of casinos to choose from. Check their cryptocurrency for use, although almost all the casino's in this forum uses bitcoin.
One thing I can tell you is that in your quest to get a casino you would be gambling with make sure not to settle for the less, engage with one that meets your expectations and interest. Gambling should be fun, interesting and profitable too
I agree, OP should make some standards and desire where he want to gamble. He pick the factors from the members that have given some suggestions on what he should pick.
But the easiest to check all of those boards and announcement threads for him to see what these casinos are like and what the customers feed back are on them. He can basically look at those factors for him to have the idea if that casino is a good one or not. Supported cryptocurrencies are easy, all of them here are supporting usually bitcoin and if not, they're into altcoins.
He can also check different crypto casinos by clicking in signature banners displayed by us, forum members, below our posts. There are different casinos he can visit in order to conclude which he prefers to deposit and play, although he should be careful with 1xbit, since it's also being promoted on this forum, but doesn't have a positive reputation among customers who had their funds frozen there for not convincing reasons.
I also think it's a good idea for him to try the demo mode of every casinos around, as it can help him choosing the one he most enjoys.
This could also be a good thing for OP to explore more on different casino platforms out here by checking out signature banners that we wear on the forum, especially on the gambling side of the forum. However, OP should also be careful when checking these platforms as they could potentially be advertised by scammers but they can easily do so by checking the trust rating of the users wearing the signature banners. Most commonly known platform that has the worst reputation is 1xbit which has been advertised by scammers and negative trust rating users of the forum.
240  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: January 19, 2023, 10:50:06 PM
What an unlucky fellow. I just hope, he really is a millionaire coz if not that is certainly depressing and might do the unthinkable. An average person would earn it in more or less than 10yrs of hard work. DK did a good job of protecting the identity of the bettor from further embarrassment or humiliation but not so much since it got leaked to Bleacher Reports not unless it has consent from the bettor.

This is one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of low odds, be it in sports betting or any casino games. I'm just wondering if he did it before. Not a million, but he bet a decent amount in low odds. He does not seem a first-timer to do such an extreme bet.
I also guess he is a millionaire who uses a lot of money to gamble. But if he is not a millionaire but just has a lot of money saved, it would not be worth using that money to gamble because he could just make an effort to make more money. Or maybe he accidentally placed a bet with low odds. There is still a lot of speculation about what happened to him to suffer such a big defeat while we don't know the truth.
He must be a wealthy man to have 1,4$ million dollars under his disposal for gambling. I believe someone who has such amount of money and place a bet of that size knows what he is doing and the possible outcomes, what means that should be money he could afford to lose. Probably if he were a foolish addicted gambler he wouldn't be able to accumulate 7 digits and become a millionaire, as he would have already gone busted a long time before. Addicted gamblers have difficult managing their finances and growing their patrimonies. Discipline and self-control are indispensable on this matter.
Surely, he is a millionaire heck even a billionaire having to be able to bet such an amount however I don't really think that they really know the outcome of his bets and mostly think that he'll surely win with that kind of odd. It's actually pretty common for wealthy people to do such a thing without thinking about the outcome and just do these things just for fun and see if they'll be able to monetize a low multiplier with an extremely huge bet.
