Anyways, I don't know for ultrloa, but for me, the online gambling casinos is a very competitive industry, it's hard to point to a casino and call a favorite one this days, but for me, stake have always been my most preferred casino, love stake for several reasons, but will also try Bitvest soon regardless.

No doubt , i also prefer stake as whenever i need to do sports betting, i play on Stake.com.
Bitvest does not offer sports betting but they have a unique site design which we may not find at any other site.

The online gambling industry is flourishing and we have a lot of good trusted sites and the competition between them means more better results for the end users (gamblers in this case). Remember a sales term that when their is competition between the products, the beneficiary is always the consumer.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand match will decide the 4th semi-finalist of this World Cup.

Sri Lanka is playing their match with Bangladesh today. After winning the toss, the Bangladesh team has put Srilanka into the bat. So far Srilanka is playing nicely and they have made 58 runs in 10 overs with the loss of only 1 wicket. Kusal Perera was out on 4 runs but after that, Pathum Nissanka  and Kusal Mendis are making scores at a reasonable rate as they will want a 100 or more runs partnership.

Teams batting first should eye on 300+ runs or even more depending upon the wicket. Anything less than that is easily chaseable.

Shoriful Islam for one wicket from Bangladesh and still a lot is left to be played in this match. Bangladesh will want to win this match and will have a total of 4 points, their last match is with Australia and it won't be easy to win from them.

Abusers comes from every side of crypto gambling mate , I see how many sites had been abused throughout the years
and what kind of system they are using to take advantages but yes many of them are successful in what they planned and yes victimizing many sites
specially new one but I doubt that they can managed having that in Bitvest because the business had been running for many years now .
also you are correct about that amount might not that High but since it is for take then why not just enjoy the fun and have a chance to earn.

Don't worry for the abusers as Bitvest and light lord will have enough measures in place so the chances of abuse will be minimal. Keep in mind that Bitvest is one of the oldest gambling sites and they have a lot of revenue due to which they often come up with rainbots and other free bonus stuff.


I haven't check the site since I don't have plan to participate but for anyone planning to do it then maybe its a good start for them on his gambling journey

I think you should also join this and take advantage of these offers. I am sure you will enjoy your time on Bitvest ?
By the way, on which site do you gamble and prefer over Bitvest  Huh

Good to see that there is now a resource that admitted problem gamblers can use to turn things around. Credits to you for creating this project and I hope that it is a success in the purpose it is aimed to serve!


Previously no one took gambling addiction seriously and everyone was of the point of view that gambling addicts should come up with ways to reduce gambling and engage in other healthy activities. Of course, this is not easy and if it was easy to move away from gambling, no one would be addicted to gambling.

With the introduction of such sites, at least people will realize that addiction of gambling is like a disease that needs a medical solution and it is something that can't be ignored.

Such sites will bring this issue on the table, the people will take it seriously and eventually, we will have gambling addiction rehabilitation centers online or offline.

It is difficult to say which team will win the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka match today, but I am backing Sri Lanka from my personal prediction.

If at any time you feel that you're not sure which team will win, it is always advisable to look at the odds and then decide your bets. Seeing the odds, Srilanka are the favourite as you will get 1.54 odds. If you risk and bet on Bangladesh, you may get even better odds of 2.38.

It's your call, to which team you may bet upon, but if you want to take a bit of risk, Bangladesh is not a bad choice either. By the I am backing up Bangladesh to win this match.




Now India is the only unbeaten team and also on the top of the point table. which team do you think will beat India first?

25 points for right prediction


Australia will beat India most probably in the finals.
Please note my prediction for the 25 points.
1546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 06, 2023, 04:51:25 AM
It will be a tough equation for Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals as Sri Lanka is more likely to lose in the match against New Zealand. If New Zealand only win that match, they will be much ahead of Pakistan in net run rate. Moreover, if Pakistan wins against England, it will have to win by a big margin, which will not be an easy task at all. However, it is very difficult for Pakistan to pass the semis in this World Cup, but if New Zealand is defeated, the final equation will become much easier. So the only objective of Pakistan fans is to wish New Zealand defeat.

NZ have this thing in there minds also that they need to win against SL to secure there place in semis. Beating England by a big margin won't be easy thing for Pakistan. Turning point for Pakistan in this tournament is there loss against Afghanistan and Afghanistan. NRR of NZ right now is 0.396 while that of Pakistan is 0.036, there is huge difference.

I suppose we need to see the points table after every match and re-evaluate the situation of different teams and how they can make up for the top 4.
I am also adding the next column in the below table which shows which teams need to play with whom for the remaining of their matches.

I think that NZ has the big advantage of the run rate while Afghanistan has the advantage that they have two matches to play and with the bad form of South Africa in the last match, anything is possible between Afghanistan and South Africa match.
Pakistan looks to have the least chance to qualify for the semi finals.

1547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: November 06, 2023, 03:32:17 AM
I often see my work friend gambling when he is relaxing on his computer playing slots while hiding the sound so the manager doesn't find out, I am very concerned about why he does it at work, I am also a gambler and I have no intention of gambling in the office at work Me, after all it wouldn't be fun dividing focus between games and work, obviously it's very forced.

Although it is not ethical to spend time in other activities when we are paid for working the office. But some people feel relaxed while gambling and therefore your friend may like to spend some time on gambling. I just wonder if the office computers are usually tracked and the network or the server team check where the data is coming in /out from the company firewalls, so maybe he might get caught using the gambling sites on the office internet?


It wouldn't be good if we forced ourselves to gamble even though at work we as bosses or managers, I don't think it would be peaceful to gamble at work, there is time to gamble and also to work so we have to organize the time as much as possible for every activity we do so that not messy and chaotic just because I force myself to gamble at work, I think my friend should understand and be mature in this matter that it is not appropriate to gamble at work because in my opinion it is irresponsible with work and professionalism.

Usually, I prefer to gamble at home while I have nothing else to do and I have peace of mind. In places like the office, you may gamble but you will not get the fun aspect of the gambling. Better play at home and enjoy gambling.
Here in the office you always have fear of the bosses or colleagues knowing that you are gambling and then you have a moment of embarrassment.

Looks like South Africa is screwed because 327 is a great target on such a slow pitch though it might get a bit easier for them if dew comes into play. Chasing such a target against an amazing Indian bowling lineup will be tough as hell.

I smiled watching Kohli bring up his 49th freaking century on his birthday equalling Tendulkar's crazy record. Magical stuff!

Didn't think ever that a team like South Africa which likes every time to score more than 400 runs just got out on 83 runs, even Virat Kohli made more runs than the whole team, this is just out of thinking, what a great bowling attack the Team India have. Mostly use spinners in the match in which Ravindra Jadeja score took a 5 wicket haul for India and restrict South Africa to 83 runs. Although the South African fans didn't expect this type of cricket from them.


Yes, India wins and the whole Indian nation enjoyed but seriously i do not like these one sided matches where one team scores 300+ runs and the other team score a 100 runs and the winning team wins by 2/3 of the total runs. I am sure spectators on the ground and around the globe (watching on TV) won't want to see close matches and not just one sided affairs.

Most of the matches that India played were one sided. Maybe the Indian team is looking far better than all the other teams participating in this cricket World Cup.

Well, completely different results from our thinking. South Africa played very poor cricket today. SA remains week while chasing target in this tournament but the a very low score like today was not expected by anyone. India is very strong team and scoring three hundred Plus on this pitch is very good to defend. Team No 4 will be unlucky because they will face India in semi final


Losing and winning happen in cricket, it's not a big deal but losing by losing by 243 runs in a one day is not acceptable under any circumstances. Although South Africa has already qualified for the semi finals but such a big lose can have a big negative impact on the team morale and it is not good going in the semi finals with such big margin loss matches.

Today's match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh won't have any impact on the semi final positions but both teams will play to avoid the low rating in the points table.

SriLanka vs Bangladesh

Toss Win: Bangladesh
Team Win: Bangladesh
Best Batsman: Shakib Al Hasan
Best Bowler:  Tanzim Hasan Sakib
1550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nigerians spend $975m daily on online betting on: November 05, 2023, 05:58:37 PM
Data from the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) has revealed that over 65 million Nigerians actively engage in betting,

But, I think we need to know how much betting sites are paying out daily too, so we can make comparison.  Grin
Trust me, I never thought that Nigeria has that much population and they also have a big percentage of people betting. If all these people engaged in online betting surely there are more people not counted, crypto casino player are hard to track so probably they weren't counted in these statistics.
Now, in gambling industry people that were gambling with regular payment systems and banks are now going to crypto casinlos, I don't know if the users of crypto gamblers can be tracked and share their details for stats.

In our country, I never saw any statistics yet for the amount of people gambling or even how much money spent.

This is an official data , the data from the national lottery program of Nigeria and we find so many people are involved in it.

I was wondering If we combine all the private gamblings, the private bookies  and the online sites where the nigerians play, then this data and numbers will be huge. This also shows that gambling is a big business in Nigeria and anyone if open a casino can get a lot of revenue through this business.

1551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the best advice or should I just let him on: November 05, 2023, 05:44:41 PM
I'd like to ask the community I have a newly moved neighbor he is a widowed senior citizen and he lives alone with a house helper, all his children are now professionals and he is a pensioner, we talked a lot about many things  I just noticed that he is very active on online casinos and other gambling activities like lotto and cock fighting every weekend, his children do not know his activities and I'm afraid he is getting addicted.

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


How do you know he is getting addicted? Are you sure you are not mistaken being active for addiction? You already said he is retired, a pensioner and all his children are professionals... in my opinion, he is having fun. You don't need to advice him because he does not need the advice.

If you must advice him, you first ask question to know if there is anyway the gambling is impacting on him negatively. If there is no way he is feeling the effect, then there will be no need advising him.

Yes I agree with you as sometimes giving an advice to a stranger like in this case, he is your new neighbour he may get offended and your relationship with your neighbour may get a bit awkward.

I hope his family know about it and they know what is good or bad for him and there is no need to interfere in his life. It's better that you leave him on his own and let his family decide what is best for him. These days people do not like interference in the life specially when they are not your friends and not in your family.
1552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: November 05, 2023, 05:29:54 PM
That's becaause gambling is designed just for fun activities only, I think that's a strong reason why someone always fails to chase their losses, of course it doesn't make sense, I honestly don't understand why they have that mindset. Basically there is no guarantee whatsoever to be able to win in gambling, because every session will run randomly about who will win and who will lose, we will never be able to find out and also there is absolutely no reason for us to continue to chase victory there because there is no certainty for any outcome. Of course the best thing is to consider whether this activity has a good or bad impact on your life, only those who feel it themselves about it and I think wiith that you will also be able to know what the best thing is to do.

Another factor which gamblers tends to ignore somehow is that they forget that what is the probability that when they chase the loss, they will succeed in it and will not lose more money. If there is a guarantee that you will be able to recover the loss, by playing more with the intent to chase the loss, then I would tell everyone to always chase the loss, but the reality is otherwise. There is no guarantee of winning with the intent to chase the loss.

The best thing for the gambler is to analyse the risk of loss even before playing and in case he has not done any homework, then accept the loss and do not run to convert the loss into profit. 99% of the time, he will lose more money.

India bowled out South Africa for just 83 runs in this match. I don't think it took as long as it took for you to post this to go all out in South Africa. South Africa's performance throughout the tournament was outstanding but in today's match I know why they played one of the worst matches in their World Cup history. However, a win or loss in this match will not matter for the two teams as both India and South Africa have qualified for the semi-finals before the South Africa match. The team that will be the opponent in the semi-final against India will not go to the final because the way India is playing they will definitely fight against any team from the semi-final to the final. I am happy that India won, but if the match was a more closing match, I would have enjoyed watching this match a lot more.

India is becoming almost impossible to be beaten in this tournament. The way India is going it looks very much evident that they will lift this world cup quite easily. They bowled out SL for 55 and now they bowled out SA for just 83 runs. India is likely to play Pakistan or NZ in semis and they both dont any capability to stop India from going to Final.  

Don't know what happens to the teams playing with India in this World Cup? Yeah, I understand that Srilanka were a weak team but this South Africa batting lineup is one of the best among all (after India) and yet they were all out at 83 runs?

Is it the pressure of the Indian home ground or the high run chase target or what reason, it's just clueless. I always thought that South Africa may be one team which may give a tough time to India but not to be.

Seems like India will lift this cup unbeaten, unless or until we see a batting collapse of India on Semi final or finals, but again I don't see it happening as the way they are playing with responsibility is marvelous.
1554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: November 05, 2023, 04:17:23 PM
Of course good and bad habits can change a lot if one's life partner influences there. As everyone strives to lead a normal life, bad habits must be avoided. If gambling is a source of one's entertainment and the spouse is not bothered by gambling and the gambler does not allow the negative effects of gambling in the family then I do not think that gambling is bad for him. Since gambling is viewed in a negative light at every level, if I can manage my gambling under control, I will certainly not allow others to interfere with my pleaser. .
It still requires openness from each partner because we know that there are people who still hide their gambling activities from their partners and are still fine. His partner will not know that all this time, he is still gambling, and if he loses control and starts spending money on his family, that's where problems will arise and disrupt his family's finances. Perhaps this needs to be treated immediately so that it doesn't escalate and worsen his gambling addiction, so he really has to open up and tell his partner the truth so they can find a solution and make him stop gambling forever.

The OP is talking about the future husband. This makes it even more difficult to be transparent because the husband may fear that if he tell his future wife that he is a gambler, he may leave her and may not marry her. There is one probability that she may ask him to stop or quit the gamble but there is no surety. (because they are not married yet).

That is the reason the husband may hide from their future wife that he is involved in gambling and the same goes for the wife as well. If the girl is a gambler, she will not feel comfortable telling her husband before her marriage about her marriage habits.

Kohli wants a century and he gets a century  Smiley

What a wonderful moment for Virat Kohli to get a 100th on this 35th birthday. He has an equal record of Sachin Tendulkar of making the most centuries for the Indian team in an ODI.

He received a standing ovation from the crowd at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

There is actually a people actually turned a profit  Shocked but yeah most of it is total loss

What's the use of keeping track of the losses in gambling as it will only add to the tension when you keep on counting your losses and profits and losses always amounting on a higher side? That is the main reason I would avoid counting my wins and losses and try to forget the loses in order to remain stress free.

Even if you have allocated a certain amount for gambling, and you know that you cannot lose more than that, even then a loss will make you sad, and later counting it again and again will have a bad effect on your emotions.

So we have Pakistan as winner, rain saved the Pak today, bad luck for NZ and bad luck for viewers as well — this was turning our to be such an interesting match.

After this match and the one between Australia and England played yesterday (which Australia won), it is interesting to see the points table for the teams still in the tournament.
A lot can happen and we are yet to see who will be the winner in the table to play the number 4th team in the semi finals. If some major upsets don't happen. New Zealand should move ahead even if they lose to SriLanka by a lesser margin. But I think that NZ should beat Srilanka.
Australia and Afghanistan have one extra match with them, which may give them another added advantage.


1558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 05, 2023, 01:53:43 AM
Will New Zealand Qualify for the World Cup? Or Pakistan?

Don't write AFG, they still have two game while NZ and PAK has only one game left so who knows if AFG win both games then they can surpass both of them and take a spot at top 4. Smiley

NZ playing against SL on Nov 9

PAK playing against ENG on Nov 11

So we have to wait until that to find who is going to take that 4th spot. As I said AFG also got a chance too if they can manage to pull some miracles.

I think you have missed with whom Afghanistan will be playing their last two matches. New Zealand and Pakistan will be playing against SriLanka and England which are both weak teams and they are likely to win these matches unless we see any major upsets in those matches.

However, Afghanistan will be playing against Australia on 7 November and they will take on South Africa on 10 Nov. Both South Africa and Australia are very strong teams and it won't be easy for Afghanistan to beat them. I think that Afghanistan's journey has ended because most probably they will lose both matches.

Both South Africa and India have qualified for the semi-finals so it's a battle of the best between them. However, India are unbeaten in seven matches so far, while South Africa have only lost to the Netherlands. There will be a lot of entertainment in today's match.

The two best teams of this World Cup will face each other and it will be an epic game to watch. South Africa is too good in their batting and if they bat first, 350+ will be scored.
It will be interesting to see how the Indian bowlers will stop their aggressive play.

Prediction of the Match:-

India and South Africa

Toss Win: India
Team Win: India
Best batsman: Virat Kohli
Best bowler:  Muhammad Siraj
1560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Demo vs Real slots on: November 04, 2023, 05:30:11 PM

My question is, why does the demo mode seem to pay more than the real mode, and has anyone else noticed this difference?

Demo games are meant only for new comers to test the casino and it must have beeinbmade in a way to entice them into just giving the real game a chance.

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

What i really observed is that during the demo games, the winning percentage is far better than play the actual games. I was thinking the reason for this and come to a conclusion that there could be possibilities that the gambling sites have 0% house edge for the Demo games, so people are able to win more and then they think of playing the real games. They may not know that they will have to face more loses in real gambling games because the house edge is usually increased in real games.

1% house edge is the minimum which the gambling houses claim but for some gimbling sites they may have more than 1% house edge and some may miscommunicate the house edge configured on their sites.
