681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inflation and crypto gambling on: December 30, 2023, 08:41:06 PM
I wonder if this is something that is happening in other countries also.
Perhaps crypto casinos have also slowly been raising their minimum bets without us noticing that much? What do you think?
So far, it didnt changed up or simply it is really just that the same. Im much aware about the ticket cost 10 years ago which it is really just that sticking on $0.2 here in our country
and even up to now it is really just that the same. We dont know on the actual reason behind about those sudden increase of ticket prices but for sure there's a specific reason for that
which it might be leading out or in talks about taxation or something in related. Im not really that good when it comes to these aspects but speaking sensibly or common sense
then it is really that correlated into those possible things that we are thinking about.
682  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: December 30, 2023, 08:20:02 PM
I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling. He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling. He made reference to some rich people, who don't gamble because they have sufficient money to even gift to charity but that those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.

So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?
gambling to some is just means of entertainment and for fun only, but we still have some set of people who sees gambling as mean of earnig money and this are those who come into gambling just to fine means of escaping their financial issues and settling up bills, but in the end, gambling is a high risk thing so they end up alwys getting disappointed and exusted at times.
For me gambling is just for the fun and why i dont gamble every day, i only gamble when i have the chance and most times I rather enjoy watching those playing instead of staking on any of the games.
As it should be but gambling becomes that too huge industry because people had treated up the different way on which they are really that doing gambling for the sake of money and not for entertainment  anymore on which we know that it cant really be avoided that peoples mind would really be changing up along the way considering that we could potentially earn money. We do know that money is one of the most important or not rather the most important thing on this world. This is why it wont really be that shocking that people would really be changing up those impressions and would really be that sticking into those ideas that they do have in mind on that recent point on which its not really that something shocking anymore. So in conclusion on which people do mess up
just because of the wrong approach that they do have with gambling.

<...>
Those who say it is better to hide and not to gamble in front - go ahead. I just wonder what else you want to overprotect your kid from. What else from your mind the kid gonna get addicted from watching. With such too much care and cautious over everything, with some many “if/would/could” you are not doing much good to a kid. I just want to see your face, when you question yourself why your kid is already 30yo, still lives with you, have no intention to getting marries and dont want to work.

You make a fair point.  It's only natural as parents that we want to protect our kids from getting hurt or running into trouble.  But keeping them wrapped in bubble wrap their whole childhood won't do them any favors later on.  Kids gotta explore things for themselves and even mess up some times.  That's how they gain moxie and learn to stand on their own two feet when theyre grown and  i say let them skin their knees and get some calluses once in awhile.  It'll serve them well down the road.  But hey, it ain't easy watching your little ones take tumbles.  We just gotta find the right balance, I suppose.

As a parent then we are really that aware and experienced enough on whats good and whats bad for our children. We might be doing gambling but we cant really deny to ourselves on what are the imposed risks that it could possibly give into someones life if they would really be tending to engage. This is why it would really be just that normal that we would really be avoiding them as much as we could or as far as possible since we do know on what are the risk that it could possibly give. Also, we do know that parenting cant really be perfect on which means that on the time that we would really be having that opportunity on telling them about on whats the real deal about gambling and other things in life then it would really be giving them at least the idea on what it is and could
really that avoid it naturally even if you arent that around which this is something that we should really minding about.
684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The frustrations in loosing a huge bet when your winning was so assured. on: December 30, 2023, 06:59:17 PM
To those who considers making profits a priority in gambling, I have come to observe that it is much more frustrating when you looses your game at when the game was almost over and you were on the safer side (winning) and just a few minute or seconds before the game is over it ended up at your lost.
I come to understand that it is more worrisome when the sure winning opportunities was so huge and got lost lately closed to the end time of the game.
It really sucks actually on having that kind of situation on which it does really give out that worst feeling on which you are almost there but ended up still on a loss on which it could really possibly make yourself that seeing punching up the wall due to such frustration. hehe. I have already experienced up such game or bet on the time that you do see that it is already that a sure win.
I do remember when it was on an NBA game on which the score is about having that 20+ points gap and having that 10 minutes time left on which i do already make out some
conclusion that it is already over. There's no way that it would be able to caught up which those are the words that i do have in mind and ended up on a loss due to some comeback. lol
685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: December 30, 2023, 06:20:22 PM
Sometimes people are always addicted to playing gambling online and this has made them loss alot of funds, due to always topping up theire casino account with there debit card when they loose. and this usually makes them exhaust all there funds.

While those people playing offline in casino halls play with only the little money they have at hand, and that will reduce the risk of over spending. So now my question is this

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?
Playing offline or online, it doesnt matter on which you could potentially exhaust all of the money that you do have. Basing up on the scenario that you had given on which offline gamblers
will really be just that have that less spending compared to online ones? Better think not. Why? Getting money from an ATM would really be that easy as pie on which means that on the time that you would be losing then you can easily make out some withdrawal outside and would be going back again into the casino on which it would really be just that still similar when you do play online.
It is really just that there are ones who are really that good when it comes to self control on which they could really be able to take action on the time that they are losing that much.
686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Buying More Tickets To Increase Your chances on: December 30, 2023, 05:58:40 PM
Personally, I do not buy any tickets as I consider one (1) as sufficient to try out my chances in the lottery.

I somehow associate with your posts, OP. In the Philippines, around hundreds of millions of pesos is at stake in our lottery weekly. Statistically speaking, the more tickets that you have, the more chances that you may actually win the lottery. I tried buying three (3) tickets before but it seems that purchasing one is already enough to try my chances daily. Imagine purchasing more than two (2) tickets daily- such expense would accumulate and I would rather save my money rather than buying those extra two (2) tickets.

Though this may be the case, I just hope that someday, I would be able to experience winning something as big as the lottery.
As long you do buy a ticket then there's always a chance or something not could be zero, it is really just that people do really make out those kind of realizations that winning is almost close to impossible basing up on the odds and the tickets purchased but somewhat its not really that shocking or something new that people would really be having those kind of hopes on the time that they would be making out some lottery betting. Despite of the odds or chance but still people would really be that a fan on betting because they are really that hoping that they could changed up their lives in a snap
once they do hit up the jackpot. You would really be needing all the luck in the world for you to be able to hit up those combinations. The important thing on here is that you should not make yourself that optimistic on hitting or winning because it would really just frustrate you out all the time.  Cheesy
687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: License: is it a guarantee? on: December 29, 2023, 11:56:09 PM
As others have said, it's not a guarantee, and I can say that it's not that expensive to get a Curacao License to start your online gambling site.


Never thought that licenses are so cheap. Really, with millions in turnover, taking 10-20k is just unnoticeable. 10-20k - and these are expenses if a person wants to start all from the scratch. I am sure that there are already pre-made or out-of-the-box solutions. Or previously created, ready to go businesses. Turns out that license does not give any guarantees at all. I can compare it with cooper membership here. Projects buy it to look more reliable, yet can easily turn scam.

Yes, that's true it's so cheap that this gambling sites can really afford it and for them this is just a chump's change. Although there's also the Malta Gaming license, which is more expensive, but still it's affordable for this kind of big business.

And as we all agree upon, they can take advantage of it and just play along in the beginning for being a trusted casino and rake millions in the next couple of months and then turn rogue later because they have gotten their ROI from the initial cost of putting their online gambling sites. Not saying that everyone of them is a scam, but maybe 1 out of 10 or 20 sites, becoming a scam and then rebranding later, rinse and repeat.
They would really be doing just like that on which it is really that they would be running for a couple of months and trying out to accumulate millions of funds before they would turn out to be a rug.
This is something that gamblers should really be careful about but since there's no way on telling about being a potential scam specially if things do looks to be real.From having a license from
good looking website. Then whom had thought that it would that become a scam site in the end? There's no way on telling on such thing and this is why it would really be that wise that we should
really be that skeptical whenever on dealing on things which we do know that it can possibly turn out to be scam later on.
688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: December 29, 2023, 11:43:10 PM
For some reason I hear you, this is almost like a trader who can't control his emotions. They will actually fall into the trap and lose a lot of their assets because of uncontrollable emotions. it's just that in slots it can really be 0. I don't think it's wrong to try a fairer casino. in my country slots are like cash games or ponzi. it will give an advantage to early adopters and then be set up for defeat at the end. but I don't have definitive proof yet. but I'm sure at least 90% of people who play slots longer always experience losses.
Early users can indeed win, but that doesn't guarantee they can win again in the next gambling game. Many people have experienced defeat from slot games, but that doesn't stop them from returning to slot games and playing slot games from other providers. They often move from one slot game to another because they think that their luck can come in another slot game. But that also won't guarantee they can win because winning from slot games depends on the luck of each gambler. If you have experienced consecutive losses from a slot game, you should immediately stop gambling on that slot game. You can come back after a few days to avoid increasing emotions and the desire to recover losses from the slot game.

yes, everybody heard of beginner's luck before
sometimes you get lucky when you are starting out something and think you are good at it but there's a mean reversion afterwards and you're back on not being good haha
life has interesting ways to trick us out
Thats why common sense and realistic approach would be always relevant or must something to have or simply it is really just that impossible for someone not to be able to distinguish about on the things on what must supposed to do and what are the things that needs to be avoided. Beginners luck is considered to those things that are commonly experienced when we are just starting up into something
on which it isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things life on which it is really that in connecting into those great calls when we are just starting up on which
this one would really be pushing you to go further just because you do believe that you could really be able to experience the same thing on which on the time that reality slap you then
this is where life realizations would kick in.
689  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: December 29, 2023, 11:31:06 PM
Being responsible not only on gambling but also in other sort of things in life might sound easy but on the time that you are dealing into something which does involves money then it would really be that so damn hard for yourself to have that kind of control on which it turns out that this is the main reason on why people do mess up their lives because of gambling. We do know that once money is really that getting involved then people are really that ending up on being impulsive and this is one of the cons that you would experience if you werent that careful about its risks.
Yes it's true but why people always emphasise on gambling is because gambling is the fastest way of loosing fund. Comperad to other aspect of life. You might be loosing fund in reality or other business, but in gambling you might loose a hopping some of money in an instant. Just like casino virtual.
Who would really be liking on emphasizing about losing fund or money? No one on their right minds would really be just simply doing gambling and just simply lose those funds intentionally.
Of course they've come here for the sake of money making or profiting at the same time they are really that enjoying the game but we know that thrill and entertainment would be replaced by
anxiety and disappointment on the time that you would be losing money on which we know that this is something inevitable to experience things along the way.
This is why the best approach towards gambling is that you should really be just enjoy and having fun rather than stressing yourself on how to make money because this is where
people do usually look forward into.
690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: December 29, 2023, 11:18:40 PM
Avoiding gambling in front of my children or any other teenagers is the most crucial rule I follow. if kids witness us gambling, they can be motivated to do the same. In my opinion. due to their youth and immaturity, it could negatively affect their future. Kids always tends to follow their elders. So I don't want my kids to catch up my bad habits.
As a parent then we are really that responsibility for us to raise them well on the path on which it is really that something to be that good and beneficial to them. As much as possible we shouldnt really be letting them to see and get involved into those things that we are doing specially with gambling. They might be able to encounter it out naturally because of online world or social media but it would be better that you should be avoiding them to see at all cost. If ever it would be that possible then having those simple explaination telling gamblings cons and negative effects
could really be that something will really be helpful to them on later into their own lives or on the time that they become independent.
691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: December 29, 2023, 10:58:01 PM
A gambling is luck in which everyone have seen it, and I believe that gambling is something I know from my own understanding and my own views that with gambling your story can change from worst to good, because being successful with gambling is base on luck so gambling is something that the successful is not measurable and it do take unware and I believe that nobody hope on gambling totally because is something that we all know that it can take whatever we have suffered for years in one minute depending the kind of gambling we partake on
Luck is the main thing in speaking about gambling on which this is the determining factor whether you would be ending up profitable or devastated on the amount that you are holding.
We do know that there are different types of gambling games on which it could neither be that strategic or luck based games. We do know about their differences on which it is really just that
right that in speaking about having successful career then it would be most likely be attained in sports betting or with card games on which we do know that it isnt something that
could be acquired or could happen on luck based ones. This is why its better to have that realistic approach rather than on being that too desperate.
692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Pacquiao vs. Buakaw - April 20 on: December 29, 2023, 10:40:23 PM
Would be fun to watch both legends but was more excited on Pacquiao coming to the ring again considering I'm not that familiar with Buakaw though it ring a bell. I think the favor would be on Manny considering it is his niche that they'll fight for but there's not much of disparity though on both sports. Will support Pacquiao all the way.
Dont know whose Buakaw?
He's  Muay Thai Juggernaut

Actually have seen this news and article.
Clash of the Titans: Manny Pacquiao to Face Muay Thai Juggernaut Buakaw in 2024: Fans Go Berserk
https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-clash-of-the-titans-manny-pacquiao-to-face-muay-thai-juggernaut-buakaw-in-2024-fans-go-berserk/

So a Boxing champion against a Muay Thai champion. Then it is really that interesting but
since this is really that playing on Boxing rules then its clear on whose gonna win but of course
people wont care considering that seeing both fights inside the ring what do really interest us.

Not just this thread, almost 70-80% of the posts in the gambling section are filled with such posts and I am observing that even the altcoin section used to be like that changed drastically but here it remains the same and that is one of the reasons few of the merit sources openly stated that they ignored the gambling section.

I knew these posts would be unhandled forever so I stopped reporting them but campaign managers should take some action to make this a better place or else they are paying for something that will never be read by anyone thus their signature space is not useful for the brand too.
It is not too easy to find out which post (replied) was read by anyone or not and if read by anyone then how many people read the post (replied). I doubt too many people read mega thread replied/comments. I think only a few people read and posters came here to post only. Not to read too many comments/replies.
This kind of discussion doesnt really fit out to be on an ANN thread but rather it would be wise that this should be addressed on or post in Meta section i guess or in reputation.
Somewhat its true that when it comes to post relevance and quality then it cant be denied that there are tons of megathreads been created which it isnt
really that worth to read on since its really that repetitive.

Happy Holidays Bitvest!
Good to see that you are back on track and becoming that active once again.

694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: December 29, 2023, 10:17:35 PM
Stopping gambling addiction?

1. Distract yourself on other activities
2. Cut off possible access with gambling (mobile phone, staying away on physical casinos)
3. Stay away on seeing things online about gambling related thing
4. Self exclusions on sites if its available
5. Staking or locking up your crypto assets

Those things above mentioned would really be entirely pointless or useless if you arent really
serious on quitting gambling in the first place. This is why it would be always starting on your own mindset.
695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. on: December 29, 2023, 09:59:34 PM
We cannot control them at all and sharing your success stories is not a bad thing but maybe, you have to filter out and just share it to anyone who you think can be more inspired by your stories and not to encourage them to gamble more. I get the point here and that addicted gambler should start seeking a professional help so he will not think this way. I’ve heard a lot of good stories and I can say that its really encouraging to gamble more.
You cant really stop people on the things that they would say, just like on what others been saying that we do have the full rights on the words that we do tell in public. It is really just that there are people who do really make those words as their inspiration to make themselves do push to play more on gambling and having those kind of reflections towards themselves which is wrong.

You wont really be putting up yourself on such trouble if you are really just that taking those words to be normal and realizing that there are people who are born lucky.
Dont make these winnings to be that your inspiration because if you do then you are really that prone into more losses as you would be finding yourself that desperate
on which we know that this is something that will really pushing you too hard.
696  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews? on: December 29, 2023, 09:50:40 PM
The first thing would be to understand what is the user looking for in the sense of the general overview of the need: first timer, seasoned player or someone with little time to choose or more like looking for another platform. These people have different perspectives so my suggestion is to have different reviews or lists of sites for each of these users, particularly the length of the review.
Why would be needing to separate it out if everything could really be put up in place? Neither a noob or a veteran one could really be able to read it up all in regarding on the said platform.
It would really be saving up some time and effort to be made rather than on making those separate list or similar like this. So if you do prefer it out then its not that a bad idea either
but it would really that depending to someone whether they would really be having that enough time for them to have those categorization. For me, what matter the most is on
to those precise and honest reviews in the end of the day. We do really want or like about transparency and real time feedbacks on which we can really tell that it could be trusted or not.
697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: December 29, 2023, 09:32:20 PM
there are several terms and conditions binding referral bonuses as some casino might even require you to wager the total amount of the money gotten and you’ll agree with me that in most cases it is always difficult to achieve such and at some point there are also people who are already making it really big through referral bonuses but the percentage is relatively insignificant.

A casino that requires a wagering requirement for those earnings and revenues got from a referral?

I doubt such terms exist. In most cases, revenues and earnings through affiliate commissions can be withdrawn instantly and freely. If there's a term like that as you say, I doubt that casino will lure their customers to their affiliate earning section.

Just out of curiosity, what site does have those terms?
If thats the case then it would really be not ideal or something that interesting if you would really be needing to wager those bonuses that you do get from referral earnings or the amount they wagered.
If thats the case then people would really be just flocking away and would be finding for another place. We do know that there are those people who are really that good when it comes to marketing
or affiliation and if they would be finding out these required things or terms then they would really be just simply ignore it out and find for those places who dont have.
Im also that curious on which site does have that kind of terms. It would be understandable if these rollovers would be applied on free spins or those deposit bonuses but for
referral earnings?it is really just that too much.
698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale betting system on: December 29, 2023, 09:22:15 PM
this topic has been discussed a lot of time over the years here in the forum. it doesn't work if you have limited funds and plans to do a normal gambling session and it won't work even if you have an extremely large amount of funds when the casino has a max bet limit.

I would like get more ideas from my readers
if you are curious, you might want to check this thread out Martingale revisited, one of forum member did an experiment on the martingale strategy, you'd be surprised at the result of his experiment.
This had been a long time topic that people are already been that discussing over and over on which its true that there's no such thing about unlimited funds and there's no way that you could really be having an advantage because just like we do all know that once that losing streaks hit you hard then you would be losing all of those balance in a blink of an eye. This is why its never been that recommended if you dont like on busting your entire balance on a snap. I would really be preferring to see or play dice or crash games on having that typical 2x odds rather than on
running automation on having that martingale system on which it is really the easiest and fastest way on losing the entire balance you do have.
699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: December 29, 2023, 11:22:44 AM
When we get a loss, the easiest thing is to blame others, blame the people who have invited him to play gambling and the people who have taught him how to play gambling.

But it would be better if when we are unable to achieve what we want, including winning in gambling, then never blame others or people who have taught you. But introspect yourself, because maybe the tricks and lessons given are not wrong, but it is your understanding that is still lacking, so that what is taught is different from what is practiced. And if what is taught is wrong, if you are smart enough then it will never be easy for you to immediately practice it. and if you are wise enough then, the first thing you do is to find the truth, whether the tricks and strategies he provides are indeed proven to be good at increasing the chances of victory in every gambling that we do.
It is really he easiest way to ease out the pain eh? You would really be blaming out someone on the mistakes that you have done on which you are really just that making yourself that look laughable.
It would really be just that normal for people to have that kind of behavior. There are ones who do really love to blame and there are ones who just simply walk out and move on and call it a day
on which i could say that this is much more prefer rather than on blaming someone on the actions you had made just because they did make out some recommendations.
You are that responsible on the actions that you had made, it is really just not that right that you would really be making yourself that look like a food on blaming out someone with your losses. lol
700  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: December 28, 2023, 11:59:30 PM
Here are two things to take note of before gambling
1.have a budget:it's very crucial to set a budget, decide how much money you are comfortable spending on gambling
Always stake what you can afford to lose. Have a limit and stick to it, doing it this way wouldn't put you under
Pressure and anxiety
Yes that's for sure. most people always find themselves in this category of always staking higher than what the have  without budject. And I see it as improper planing because for you are to achieve a better lifestyle one need to have a well programmed schedule or proper financial management in other not to make mistakes while gambling

2.Take breaks:This is a very important point..gambling can be very addicting especially when we start excepting a lot from it

At some point I'm gambling you find it hard to quit especially when you beging to loos more often. There is that self motivation or instinct that tells you to continue until you are left with noore cash again. And definitely it will cause you pain and anxiety. So there is need to take a break in gambling when there is more loose than win.
Being responsible not only on gambling but also in other sort of things in life might sound easy but on the time that you are dealing into something which does involves money then it would really be that so damn hard for yourself to have that kind of control on which it turns out that this is the main reason on why people do mess up their lives because of gambling. We do know that once money is really that getting involved then people are really that ending up on being impulsive and this is one of the cons that you would experience if you werent that careful about its risks.
