Hi folks. I published Blackjack 21 game with side bets and detailed analyses.
I would be glad if you download and support. Thanks.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yns.blackjack

What is the guarantee that this is not a malware you are telling us to download. Many have done this but it was obvious that nobody replied to their post of downloading it but was back-lashed for bringing such here and i hope you too you would not face any difficulty here for doing this. By  the way you did not make any clear illustration abut your app for a better understanding which could have helped for a better understanding and looking at the fact that your account is a new account, people would be scared of attempting to download due to their past experience.
100% correct, my rule is just do not click or download anything unless I know the person or site and everyone else should follow the same rule. There are those that might take a chance but hopefully they run a scan before doing anything.

Well it looks like the app is on the google play store. I doubt they would allow someone to use their platform as a malware distribution service. OP should have presented his app after gaining some initial trust in the community. Perhaps by sharing some content or something like that.

He seems not to notice that he is presenting the app in a sketchy way due to lack of information and lazy introduction, which to many people here is a red flag. But then again, we might have become over-paranoid of scammers in the last years. But then again, one can never be too careful. Better safe than sorry.




There is a only 500+ downloads of this app and there is no trust rating so far. The app contains ads and we never know if there is any malware programmed in the app. If it was published on iOS then we could have trusted it but anyone can put up the app on google play store without any scrutiny.

As a method of precaution, i would advise not to download this app unless we see some really good feedback about it.

It is a fact, things are like this, in fact there are many Casinos that have Launched into this with little capital , Perhaps praying that a Whale does not Arrive and win , that it Arrives and loses but not that it wins, otherwise it would be the cabose, then This is a lot of risk to sum it up,

Well, we should always come up with solutions to these problems which may encourage the casino to remain in the business, yet fulfilling the financial needs of the business.

What if a casino puts a hard and fast rule that at any given point of time you cannot deposit this much amount, or even you deposit in parts, the total balance should not exceed certain limits? This way, even the so called "Whales Gamblers" will not be able to win that much amount that it becomes impossible for the casino to let them withdraw.

Remember this can be applied to new casinos and once they get experience, and gather some money, they can lift any such restrictions. Let me know if such a solution is practical ?

If umpire gave out last batsman against South Africa match , Pakistan could qualify for final. That was empire decision and that was Pakistani bad luck.

I am surprised that you are still complaining about the Umpire Decision on that Pakistan-South Africa match but do not take into account their poor performance in the overall World Cup.

For a moment, let's suppose that Pakistan would have won the match if that decision had been in their favor but they still needed to win against England in order to qualify. You can see how poorly they have played in that match. England won that match by 93 runs which shows that it was a one sided match.

So can you explain how Pakistan could have reached the semi finals if they were beaten by England  Huh

1484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you want to play on casinos without KYC requirements? on: November 14, 2023, 01:36:57 PM
I was thinking about this question over the weekend and I cannot seem to find legitimate reasons why people would want to play at casinos that do not require KYC verification.

1. KYC requirements reduce money laundering.
2. KYC requirements reduce under age gambling.
3. KYC requirements increase the possibility to hold people to account for their actions. (Exploiting casino systems)
4. KYC requirement reduce scamming
5. KYC requirements can be used to restore accounts after it has been hacked. (Using the documents that were used by the original owner)
6. KYC requirements adhere to government regulations and legitimize a casino.
7. KYC requirements can be used to reduce gambling addiction. (Identifying people that self-excluded or people trying to create new accounts)
8. KYC requirements can be used to enforce regional gambling restrictions.  

Why would you want to avoid being identified, if you gamble legally and if you are not a criminal? Let's discuss the reasons why KYC are not advantageous for the gamblers and casinos?

Ps. I am playing Devil's advocate... if you did not notice it.  Grin


Although we do not have much options when it comes to choosing between KYC and NON-KYC casinos, but one thing which always worries me and it should be a concern for everyone who submitted their KYC documents that what if those KYC documents are misused by the casino ?

Yes, we believe that trusted and well reputed casino will have no such intentions but then the data can be hacked and it may reach to the people with criminals minds. We never know as how much they use that data and what financial damage can be done if that KYC data reaches criminal hands.

Also some people may want to hide this information that they are gambling but when they do KYC then they can be exposed as that data can be reproduced to any leqal entity on demand.

I received the payment, but lost $80 per day due to the fall in the  polygon exchange rate.
Sorry for your loss bro, I know how painful it is to lose such an amount. I guess you will have a hitch-free experience next time.  

IMO, all crypto gamblers are aware of such moment when the price of our crypto may bumped/dumped signficantly at any time, means that all crypto gamblers should be ready to take the risk of the price movement.
Basically he will not lose $80 if he did not sell his polygon as he can keep holding it till the price to increase again.
This is the double edged sword situation when we are dealing with crypto, sometime the price can give us a significant lose but on other time it can give significant profit.
Will he complain if the price increased significantly after he received the withdrawal? I dont think so...

I think gambling does not suit him and he should only focus on gambling. If you are gambling with any coin, then the price so that coin should not be taken into account, else the gambler will feel double pressure, first that he may lose that crypto in gambling and secondly, even if he wins, he can have significant loss if the price of that crypto dumps. Well , it can go the other way around that the price of that crypto pumps after you have won some coins.

Coins trading and price fluctuations is a separate things and gamblers should not worry much about the price of the coin, they should only be worried that they should make profits from gambling.

1486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sad reality: some countries gamble more than they can afford on: November 12, 2023, 10:00:41 AM
The people of less developed countries gamble the most.

Do you have numbers to prove this?

Your argument may be true in the sense that there are more people who are involved in gambling from the underdeveloped country but if you compare the money spent on gambling, then it is the developed countries who take over the underdeveloped ones.

In poor countries, there is more population, and hence more people will be gambling but all of them will be using small amounts of money on gambling and you will hardly see thousands of dollars in individual bets from these countries. In contrast to this, the population in developed countries may be less but they usually have bigger gambling portfolios.

My bet is on Gill to score a century in this match since he seemed to have recovered his form recently.

Have you placed this bet on Gill Century today on some online betting site or with any offline bookies? If so, you are likely to win it as he just scored a 50 in only 30 balls and still going.

India got the opportunity to bat first and they will surely hit 400+ runs or even more.  They have scored almost 100 runs without a wicket loss and they will play freely the next 40 overs and may break some records.

Dead rubber match for both teams basically. However, I still am impressed with how Netherlands has performed through majority of this tournament.

I agree that the match is a dead rubber, but i think it will be fun watching the Indian players scoring high runs and all those 4s and 6s being hit at the Bengaluru cricket ground.
1488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 12, 2023, 08:20:33 AM
Where or which games are you using skills on in gambling? The only place to apply your skills is your risking strategy, how much you can afford to lose, there is no skills to apply anywhere else, not in sports because you aren't the one to play the games yourself on the field, you are going to rely on someone else.

In sports betting you can only check the past performances of the player or the team. This is the only advantage we have over the gambling games but this data does not guarantee that players will show the same performance on the day and on the game that we are betting. Gamblers sometimes feel satisfied that they have bet on the strong team but we never know if it is a bad day for that strong team and they may lose the game, and therefore we lose the bet.   Sad


Gambling is too less about skills and more about your luck, do not make people believe this skill side because you will just end up becoming a addicted gambler, the more you accept that gambling is all about luck the less you will believe in it, and it's for the better.

Yes, there is no skill in gambling expect money management skill. I would still suggest people that they should learn about money management before they think of gambling as this will help them a big deal on saving their money.

You will be able to take risks on gambling only when you can, you will have small expectations from gambling because it's all about luck and you will end up becoming a health gambler, those who are addicted to gambling takes it way serious than everything else in their lives, the believe they have is what makes them fall for gambling addiction.

Being realistic about gambling is the most important thing that all gamblers should know especially the new ones. People will show dreams to the gamblers that they can get rid of their poverty and all their financial problems by playing gambling and they may share the success stories of the gamblers too. The gamblers need to listen to the other side of the stories that how much money did they lost before winning jacktpots. Also they need to know about those gamblers who are still on the losing side and yet to make big win from gambling. This may help them not getting into xtreme gambling which is termed as gambling addiction.
1489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 12, 2023, 07:47:21 AM
Pakistan started the World Cup against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. These two teams are the weakest in this World Cup. Even then, Pakistan did not get an easy win against these two teams. Both the matches were very competitive.

After that, Pakistan lost all four matches in a row. If the performance of the bowlers had been better then maybe we would have seen 2 more wins from Pakistan. But the performance of Pakistani bowlers is quite weak in this World Cup. And finally, the team finished the World Cup journey from fifth place in the points table.

Talking particularly of the Pakistan journey in this World Cup, yes they were just disappointed with their forms. Even their wins against the small teams were not by a big margin due to which they struggled in the run rate too. Apart from fakhar zaman one performance in the match against New Zealand where he scored 126 runs, i can't remember any significant performance from their batting lineup. Even in that match, had it not been interrupted by rain, Pakistan may not have chased 400+.

Also, there is nothing special to talk about their bowlers too. We know that over the past World Cups, Pakistan had some great bowlers but in this World Cup they had an ordinary bowling attack. Shaheen Shah Afridi, their trump card, did not look comfortable at the start of this bowling spell and went for too many runs, putting pressure on the other bowlers.

Hi, Sherbet Community

We received information that management has refilled the campaign wallet managed by @Royse777. We have contacted royse777 to distribute campaign participant payments and start the sherbet campaign

Regards,
Jt
This is a good news for the sherbet campaigners who had their payments delayed for reasons we can't really tell but it's quite understandable that in every business environment there are circumstances that will surface and I guess this is one of those and any rational being will just have to acknowledge it and be patient. Hence, as a former campaigner am glad  and looking forward to receiving my payment hinged on this info and still hoping to partake in the next continuation of the sherbet campaign when it resumes again. Thanks


The good thing about Sherbet is that they always come back & pay their campaign participants, and it's not that they just run away. However, i see that this campaign is paused a few times because of the lack of escrow funds. If the team is busy and does not have the time to fill the escrow every 2 or 3 weeks, they can refill the escrow with half a BTC or more and it may last for a few months. This way the campaign will not have to be paused again and again as sometimes it gives a bad impression.

Anyway, the participants in the campaign must be feeling happy on getting their paychecks  Smiley

Pakistan lost their last match of the World Cup. The poor journey of Pakistan in the ICC tournaments is continuous. They have to rethink their white-ball strategy. I think the major factor that contributed to Pakistan's loss was their bowling attack. Their main bowler, Shaheen Afridi has only three wickets with the new ball, and Rauf also performed below average. The wicket early on for Pakistan was not there, and the bowlers conceded too many runs in the power play.
Apart from a few batsmen, other Pakistan batters were not performing up to their potential. A journey to forget for Pakistan.

More than the bowling, it is the poor batting performance from the Pakistan batsmen and some poor selection from the management.
In India, most of the teams who won have scored big runs in excess of 350 and Pakistan never looked to score or chase such big targets. Their approach seems to collect the traditional 270-290 runs and think that it is sufficient for them. In India pitches. you need to think beyond 350 for a safe win.


I am looking at the India vs Australia final, but I really hope South Africa and New Zealand should reach the final. At least, this way, we will have a new World Champion.  

India is unbeaten in this World Cup while Australia have come back strongly after some early matches loss. I think both of these two teams have good mental strength and that is required in big matches such as the World Cup Semi finals and the final.
1492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: November 12, 2023, 05:48:41 AM
Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.

Let's first understand one thing. If we win any bet the casino will give us the winning amount from their pocket. On the other hand, if we lose any bet, our bet amount goes to the casino.

Now come to the point. If the casino owner bets on his own site, in case he wins, he will give himself the winning amount and if he loses, the money still stays with him. So logically it is useless to bet as a casino owner, as you are playing with your own money. Yes, if he bet on some other sites other than his own, then he can win or lose the money depending on the result of the bet, Because, on other sites, he will just bet as a gambler only (as he is not the owner at other gambling sites).

India vs Netherlands
The World Cup is almost at an end, today is the last match of the World Cup group stage in India vs Netherlands. India has confirmed the semi-final from number 1 in the points table, India will play in the semi-final against New Zealand. Today's match is not an important match for India, but India is unbeaten so far so they will try to win today's match. Today's match is very important for Netherlands, although the chance of Netherlands win today is not 5%, if Netherlands can win today by luck then they will have chance to play in ICC Champions Trophy. Because Bangladesh is at number 8 with 4 points, if Netherlands can win today, it will be 6 points and will move up to number 8 in the points table. However there is absolutely no chance of Netherlands winning today, I am sure India will win today.

If you check the odds at stake.com, you will realize that for India you will only get 1.01 odds while if you risk your money on the Netherlands, you will get 12 odds. Though betting on the Netherlands looks too much tempting, the reality is that there is no way the Netherlands is going to win against the mighty India.



With this, we will end the 45 matches of the World Cup today and after today's match, there will be just 2 semi finals and the big final left to be played in this World Cup.

Today will be the last match of World Cup group stage India vs Netherlands. India has played 8 matches so far and won 8 matches and is at the number 1 position in the points table. Netherlands has played 8 matches and won 2 matches and is at number 10 in the points table. India will win easily today.


You are right about that as we have the match between the strongest and the weakest team of the tournament. The strongest team is India which did not lose a single match in this tournament while the weakest team is Netherlands which are at the bottom of the points table.

Today predictions are a no-brainer.

India vs Netherlands

Toss win: Netherlands
Team win: India
Best Batsmen: Virat Kohli
Best bowler:   Mohammed Shami
1495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sad reality: some countries gamble more than they can afford on: November 11, 2023, 05:39:30 PM
What do you think about this issue where people gamble too much in countries where the vast majority of the population isn't well off? Should governments step in and restrict casinos more perhaps?
One factor I think why people spend so much on gambling more than they can afford is the lack of education and financial literacy. Countries who are poor has a citizens who don't have enough education given the fact that people prioritize surviving and taking jobs instead of studying. Majority of those people who lack financial literacy want to make money as fast as they want and some of them don't really consider the risk of gambling. Casino is a business and they don't earn money from the gamblers, I don't think that gamblers who doesn't have a proper education understand it, they are more focus in taking risk and don't think a head.

I don't buy this argument that those who do not have enough education and/or are illiterate, prefer gambling as it makes quick money. Do you mean to say that those who have no skill, will try their luck in gambling?

Well, this may be true for certain groups of people who have a lot of money to gamble, but usually, a person who is not educated means that he won't be able to get a good job and hence he won't have much money to gamble. So I do not think that those people will prefer gambling as it needs a good financial status and that only comes if you belong to an educated family.

I think it is more of the educated class, who comes to gambling because of a lack of opportunity elsewhere or because they think that gambling is a quick rich scheme.

Holy hell thats ballsy but atleast you walked away with 124 golden tickets. I really hope that you will walk away with that Lambo as well, promise me that you will pose naked on top of your lambo if you ever get it lol  Roll Eyes. Imagine if you lose all that balance, yeah I know its just probably free balances that you got but it sucks to lose especially on 1.01 odds


The sad reality of this golden ticket in particular and gambling in general, is that the more the number of tickets you have for the lottery, it just increases the probability of winning but does not guarantee that you will win a Lambo. Sometimes a lucky person can win a Lambo with just 1 ticket while an unlucky person may remain empty-handed, even if he has 100s of tickets.

Imagine if you lose all that balance, yeah I know its just probably free balances that you got but it sucks to lose especially on 1.01 odds

Again the cruelty of gambling is that someone may lose on odds of 1.01, that is how unlucky gamblers day would be. I mean when you see an odd of 1.01, it means that 99.9% you should win with that odd, but that 0.1% chance may trigger one day and gamblers may lose all their life savings as they tend to put more money on such odds.

Pakistan target 6.4 over 338 runs
Accomplishing the target in front of Pakistan is a rare event in cricket as 338 runs in six overs is unreal. Therefore, Pakistan's dream of qualifying for the semi-finals is never realized. But I hope that Pakistan will play well and win today's match for now.

England were too good today and they won this match quite easily by 93 runs. Though the England team performed well in their last two matches but it was too late for them to come back in the form as they already had lost the road to the semi finals, by losing their initial matches.

From Pakistan, we saw only one half century by Agha Salman. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan got into their 30s but could not convert it into big score. The openers already failed today. There was nothing extraordinary in the bowling department too , however, Haris Rauf took 3 wickets but all the bowlers gave away too many runs.

Earlier, Ben Stokes made 80 runs while David Willey took three wickets and was the man of the match. This was the last ODI match for David Willey and he ended his career with a win for his team but sadly England is also out of this World Cup.
1498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sad reality: some countries gamble more than they can afford on: November 11, 2023, 02:26:43 PM
I was looking at gambling statistics for my country the other day. People in Greece lost 22.5 billion EUR only in 2021, and 29 billion in 2022 and that was only on licensed establishments.


29 billion Euros for 2022 only?that is a huge money just to be Lose in gambling does this mean Gambling
 operators are really earning billions of Euros each year.that can covers our country's expenses for the whole year.

and the saddest part is that looks like people are losing money that can feed their family instead it goes to the operators.

Hoping that the government will act accordingly and seems like Greece are losing to gambling owner .

What can the government do in such a situation when the people are more inclined to gamble and lose money? Remember, people are using their own money to gambling and they are not taking money from the government to gamble. It's the people's own choice and i don't think the government can control them. If they put a ban on gambling sites, people will still use VPNs and access the sites to play online.

The best advice here in my point of view is that the government should start the casinos operating within the country under their supervision. Though it won't be moral, but that is the best option to boost the economy and stop the drainage of money to offshore gambling companies. In this way, if people gamble on the local national casinos and lose, the beneficiary will be the government as all the money will go to them. This is the only way to get money from a society that is addicted to gambling.

If the Pakistan team can beat England by a huge margin today, then there is a possibility of reaching the ICC 2023 semi-finals. Blackut unfortunately, may not be able to beat England by a large margin in this match and will not be able to go to the bye semi-finals.

The equations which were shown in the social media seemed an impossible task for the Pakistan team to win by that margin. It was like they needed to win for 278 runs or more which is practically not possible.

Right now the situation is such that Pakistan are struggling to chase this big score put by the England team that is 337 runs. They (Pakistan) have lost 2 wickets for only 30 runs. Both the openers Abdullah Shafique and Fakhar Zaman were not able to make any runs. Babar Azam is playing at 20 along with Muhammad Rizwan, however, i don't see them winning this match too.

Those who bet on the Pakistan team and the people from Pakistan may be disappointed to see the end result of their team not qualifying for the semi finals. They need to rethink and come up strongly in future series.

^ we have seen some huge cricket surprises this year. First the world cup champs West Indies couldn't qualify for world cup and then this news regarding Sri Lanka. Also, England performance in this world cup counts too, they have big names in their squad but yet team performed so poorly.

These surprises are in terms of teams lowering their performances when something good was expected of them. Srilanka, England and West Indies (could not qualify) were just disappointed but we can say that the Netherlands and Afghanistan showed some good performances like Afghanistan beating Pakistan and England while the Netherlands team beat South Africa and Bangladesh.

Coming to today's first match at Pune, Australia won the toss and rightly decided to bowl first. Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan started the innings slowly but carefully and they have made 20 runs in 5 overs but did not lose any wickets. Being the last match of Bangladesh they would really like to go home with a win against a big team Australia. Let's see how they play these 50 overs and if they can manage to score 300+ runs giving their bowlers something to defend at this ground.
