1901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When Gamblers Fail to Read a Casino's Terms and Conditions on: September 22, 2023, 02:48:57 AM


What other negative reviews do gamblers give to casinos when they fail to familiarize themselves with the T&C of the casino?
They would definitely be having that main impression that they had been scammed on the time that they would be experiencing some issues specially when things being locked up like withdrawals on which
if ever they havent been able to read up sites terms and conditions then they would really be having that impression that they had been cheated or simply it was intentional and on the time where proofs
and evidences had been shown or provided then this is where they would be looking to themselves acts as clowns.

So the issue was not with the gambling sites but with the understanding of the gambler, not reading the terms and conditions thoroughly. Later when some unexpected happens with those gamblers regarding game play or deposits/ withdrawals it becomes a headache not only for the gambler but also for the gambling site to defend themselves that they are right.

How many times we have seen reputable casino has to clarify the scam accusations raised against them, in which the total problem is at the gambler's end but they falsely try to defame the casino for not providing the services they expected from them?

I don't think he'll be too happy with etf's, or with people storing their BTC's in centralized exchanges, but on the other hand he made BTC free, permissionless and censorship resistant, so who can tell another what to do with their coins? What matters is that BTC is doing what it was created for, it is p2p electronic cash and anyone can use it for that anytime they want to. I don't think we should be too concerned about what Satoshi would think about BTC right now, but just use your coins however you wish to do so.

And above all, he may be upset as he would have thought that bitcoin would have been used as a primary currency or as a medium of exchange but it is most used as a store of value.

So, he would be happy seeing all the centralized exchange control of the bitcoin, all these whale manipulations and also these big pump and dump of the market. Also, he wouldn't have dreamed that the altcoins would find a place inside the crypto world where 95% of them are built only to get people's wealth and give them losses.
1903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Gambling Sites and Bug/Exploit Reporting and Rewards. on: September 21, 2023, 05:33:57 PM
IDK if it was the OP but I saw a thread last time which the user said that the his bug reports are only being ignored by the casino. We are not sure if they do, or maybe they already take note of the message and fixed it, but the user must be compensated.

There can be a number of reasons why the gambling site may ignore any bug reported by the user. Because they have no clue how to fix that bug, they can ignore the site bug. Sometimes the gambling site won't even start a big bounty, because they do not want to make their shortcomings public or have no resources/skills to fix them.

Regarding the reward to the user who reported the bug, if he reported voluntarily, the gambling sites are not bound to pay him.
1904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: September 21, 2023, 04:55:04 PM
I'm sharing this because I saw this issue with my kiddo who was once watching me gamble at a website playing blackjack and she started asking me more about the game. Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.

The question arises for how long will you be able to keep your children away from gambling when you yourself are involved in gambling?

You may convince small Children that these things are not for your age but when they see their father daily spending time on gambling, the curiosity of the child keeps increasing. One day he or she will start playing and there is no way we can stop the children. if we want our children not to gamble, we need to end or limit our own gambling activities.
1905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: September 21, 2023, 03:57:00 PM

Cockfight emerged from one corner of the world and now it is spread all around the world. No part of the world is left, whether it is USA, Canada, United Kingdom or European Countries. What differ is the legal status and the importance it have got among the people. This is much followed by the Philippines people. Every region of the country have got arenas for cockfight. It is the country where big money is being circulated on betting over the roosters. In Philippines there are platforms that are dedicatedly operating to broadcast live fights and provide access for betting. Cockfight can be found to be legal in most of the Asian countries whereas in African countries it is very limited to two or three countries.
In the Philippines you can see many cock arena which is we all know that Philippines has a traditional celebration which every festival there's a cockfighting in arena and there's a big amount of money once you will win but it's hard to win once you don't have a conditioned an well trained cock cause some of the opponent you have is that a very know or big-time cock gambler.


This is a cruel sport and I don't even like watching it, betting on it is just out of question.

Cockfighting is now only a traditional sport and it is only being played at locations where it has a heritage history. Most of the time we will see that cockfighting is popular in rural areas or sometimes of villages where this sport has a tradition. Maybe this is the reason that we do not see any betting available for it on global betting sites. However i do not know if Philippines local betting sites includes betting on this sports or there may be offline bookies who arrange the bet on this sports.

The first ODI match between Bangladesh and New Zealand was abandoned due to all calculations due to excessive rain. Today, Bangladesh was ahead of New Zealand, so the abandonment of this match today must be a bit of a pain for Bangladesh. Rain caused problems a few times

We have experienced a lot of matches being abandoned by rain recently and this has recently ruined some of the matches which could really turned out to be interesting if there had been no rain. Recent Asia Cup matches were also affected by the rain. I hope we do not face such a situation in the World Cup, as it is also being held in the Asia region.

This match could turned out to be a close one if we had the full 50-over match as Bangladesh were really bowling well. Hard luck to them as they could not play the match and the match resulted in a draw.

The next two matches will be at the same venue, Mirpur Bangladesh and I hope we see better weather on September 23 and 26, the match days.
1907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting significant amount on: September 21, 2023, 02:44:21 PM
I always bet all-in which is my remaining bankroll that is significant amount for me on a 25% win chance rate bet on dice game. My heart palpitates during this bet and I really love the intense feeling. Most of the time I lose on this but it's really worth it if I win since I recover my original bankroll plus sweet profit of 20% of my bankroll.

You said that most of the time you lose this aggressive gameplay but you win few times and recover your losses. I want to ask what is your overall experience. Are you able to recover all your losses from the few wins or do you still remain in loss even after winning a significant betting amount?

The formula which you have told is mainly for those who have extra money and losing the money through aggressive betting does not matter then much. Most of the gamblers may take such a risk but if they lose, it really becomes hard for them to try this again and again.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 21, 2023, 02:10:10 PM
In Bangladesh vs New Zealand 1st ODI match today New Zealand team came to bat and scored 136 runs in 33.4 overs.Bangladesh team started with good bowling performance.But the match is stopped due to rain.Hopefully rain will end the game soon.  The two teams will start again. New Zealand team is under a lot of pressure with the loss of 5 wickets so far. Finn Allen of New Zealand team is out for 9 runs from 20 balls. Will Young is out for 58 runs from 91 balls. Henry Nicholls is out for 44 runs from 57 balls.  On the other hand Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh team has started performing very well. Mustafizur Rahman has taken 3 wickets with 27 runs in 7 overs. Nasum Ahmed has taken 2 wickets in 8 overs with 21 runs.

When you see that New Zealand scored only 136 runs in approx. 33 overs with 5 wickets down, you would immediately call it a bad start from the New Zealand team. Remember New Zealand team was the finalist in the Last ODI World Cup and their performance before the start of the World Cup is questionable  Huh

Although this match is delayed by rain and we do not know if we could be able to finish this match or not, but believe me, if there was no rain interruption, Bangladesh would have fancied their chances of winning this one.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: September 21, 2023, 01:49:06 PM
Yeah, many families have been destroyed because of gambling, where the head of the family basically gambled all their money away, leaving the family with nothing.
Incidents like this have happened a lot even before online casinos developed there were already lots of similar cases and what worse they actually dared to take risks by borrowing money from owners or loan sharks in traditional casinos.
It's a shame that many families are destroyed because of gambling and what is really worrying is that a child when his father becomes a crazy gambling addict then he forgets his duties as a father and responsibility as the backbone of the family who needs to provide education, guidance and finances for children but instead prioritize gambling.

When a gambler who dares to take the risk of borrowing large amounts of money just to gamble is the beginning of his addiction and this will be very bad when a regular gambler tries to get a loan to gamble and becomes addicted because he loses all his borrowed money after that he tries to pursue it in any way possible while The pressure of having to pay back borrowed money is one of the causes of gambling addicts becoming crazier about stealing or robbing, even worse, borrowing again in large amounts to catch up on any losses.
This problem is the downfall of a gambling addict who is determined to fulfill his addiction and most addicts who have started to take this bad step will usually end their life and go far away and move to another city.


When you borrow money and then again put all that money into gambling, this means that you are totally addicted to gambling and you are too desperate to win.

I have never seen such a gambler win anything that could help him return the loan and at the same time get any money for this profits too. The gambler will usually lose all the borrowed money too and now he would be helpless as he has to repay the loan as well. Such a bad financial situation will lead to suicide and other social evils.

I wish, somehow gambling addiction could be eliminated from society.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the drive that makes women go into gambling? on: September 20, 2023, 11:36:12 PM
I think for many women some of the few reasons they go into gambling, is that gambling provides them with the opportunity to be sociable and enjoy time with friends and also use it to escape boredom loneliness or even stress, excitement is also part of the reasons why women goes into gambling the sense of winning creates an additional anticipation of something bigger having the spotlight on you as a winner can make you feel good even for a brief moment. This has eventually turn into frequent trips or long session in gambling.
People goes to gamble for main reason, that is to earn money and increase their profits. Even women would see it as their first goal. Socializing and making new friends are just some of the little factors that make them excited to gamble. But I don't think married women are still capable of doing this. Enough for them to see their men gambling, and just consider theirselves as home buddy while taking care of their kids.

Gambling is being played by men and women in the same way and the reason for women gambling are the same as the reason for any men to gamble. It varies from person to person but the major reasons can either to win money or have fun or both.

Yes, i understand that women gambling is not considered good by our society and many people think that gambling is a men/s passion but actually there is no difference of gender in gambling and since the online gambling has become popular, the many girls are involved in gambling behind the scenes.
1911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 20, 2023, 11:16:44 PM

You are overrating India here. This is the same team that lost to Bangladesh recently despite some senior players being left out. My point is that their performances have been quite inconsistent recently.

They have the lineup to win the World Cup, but teams like Australia, England and South Africa have better chances in my honest opinion.
True and that's what I am worried about.

Before any ICC tournament Indian team gets tagged as a favorite and everyone puts extra pressure on the team and virtually in every knockout match the Indian team goes into their shell and then the bashing follows. 

The reason is that cricket is one of the most loved sports by the Indian nation and people are emotionally attached to cricket and the Indian players. When you have such a huge following, of course they will all support you for a win. They will want Team India to lift every ICC major event, the World Cup being the biggest of all events.

Instead of getting under pressure from such big fan followings, someone needs to teach them to take this love and affection in a way to further increases and boom up your spirits to perform even better.

The fear of losing should be overcomed by the will of winning.
1912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Navigating the World of Online Gambling on: September 20, 2023, 05:14:54 PM
withdraw your profits time to time, so you cannot stuck in a situation that your account got banned with all of your winnings (if the user wins).
The truth is you will not making money in gambling, so there's no such withdrawing profit from time to time like you're making a regular profit through gambling.

Assuming someone is win in gambling, they must be withdraw their profit to know how trusted is the casino. But the casino only allow withdraw for small amount winning, the casino's reputation is tested when someone win a huge amount that exceed from the gambler's total deposits.

If you play on a trusted casino, you will still get withdrawal if you have won a big amount. The reputed casinos will not stop your withdrawals.

It is only with the new casino, that they may or may not pay, if someone tries to withdraw large amount of money.

By the way, the new gambling casinos and with new narrative of web 3.0 or AI based casinos, it is hard to navigate the whole world of casinos.
I would prefer to stick to the one or two casino, where you feel comfortable and do not experiment much playing at different casinos.
1913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: September 20, 2023, 03:52:12 PM
I have personally watched several family got seperated, and it's all as a result of husband man always gambling away money that the wife believed would have been used for something much more important.

In my area where I live, there have been several instances where the neighborhood had to rush out to separate fights between husband and wife, and when tracing the root cause of the fight, it was discovered that husband man is unable to properly fend for his family because he spends more of his money and time gambling.

A very good friend of mine got seperated from his wife and kid, all as a result of his addiction to gambling, till today, this friend know not where his wife and kid are, it's more than 5 years already.

Gambling does affect relationships.

This is a sad aspect of gambling, isn't it?

Can the husband and wife come to some mutual consensus that the husband will allocate a certain amount of money to his personal hobbies and the wife will have no objection to it? So the husband gambles with that money or does whatever he likes, and the wife should never get upset about it.

Similarly the wife will also be given some money by husband and she can spent on makeup or whatever hobby and husband will have no objection about it. Until or unless there is mutual agreement and understanding between husband wife, it will only result in the end of relationship.

The match between England and Ireland will start in the next 30 to 40 mins. Everyone knows that England can easily win today's and the series because Ireland is a small and new team and England team is an amazing team, according to ODI. Ireland tour of England. Smiley

The match hasn't started yet and the reason is the wet outfield. Although there may not be much viewership for this match but England would be hoping to have a play so that they can get a win and also this will give them the match practice before the World Cup. If we do not have the match today, then it will be a draw, a result that more favours the weak Ireland team.

Perhaps if the match starts quickly in about 30 mins or so, we can have T20 between them meaning the overs reduced to 20 overs a side.

As I understand, many users of our forum who are accustomed to writing their messages here and those who do this often do not like Telegram and the atmosphere of chaos and the avalanche of idiotic posts that exist there.  And this is understandable, it’s just that no one wants to waste time scrolling through stupid dialogues like, well, you’re a fool... you’re a fool yourself. 

I doubt many users don't like Telegram. Sure, if you try to find some useful information in telegram chats, you will just waste your time because there will probably be tons of spam messages. However, the convenience of Telegram is that many projects create separate channels for announcing news or bots for operational support of users.
I certainly agree with the relative convenience of individual channels for individual serious projects in Telegram. 

But what I fundamentally dislike and disgust, for example, is that even in such channels, admins or some Telegram users often constantly insert various colored and bright pictures, gifs, etc., and of course sets of emoticons and other visual spam.  It’s unpleasant for me to scroll through the feed and all the time my eyes are dazzled by all this unnecessary rubbish.  This is not observed on our forum, or rather it is observed very rarely, and you can calmly read what our users write and, without being distracted by streams of emoticons, understand and study the meaning of the post.  This is a little more difficult to do in Telegram. 
But this is so in my opinion, I don’t insist on my opinion, I think those who have long been accustomed to this diversity and “fireworks” of multi-colored pictures have simply already developed the skill of ignoring all such spam. 
But it still pollutes the brain, no matter how you look at it.

A read only telegram community is still much better than a telegram group where everyone is allowed to post. But here we have two problems. One if the telegram group is restricted for positing, then the gamblers will won’t be able express their feedback. We will only see the version of the admins and they will be sort of “All Good”. However, if they open up the chat, the you will get a lot of spam and people will start to share their own links which may be harmful too.

The discussion of this gambling threads, on ANN gambling threads is much more neat and easy to read without any spam etc. Ann thread can give true feedback of the users playing at the gambling site..

After completing a comprehensive series with New Zealand, England once again hosted a three-match ODI series with Ireland, with England as the host team and Ireland as the visiting team.Ireland will take on England tomorrow in the first match of the three-match ODI. The team that England have fielded against Ireland looks like England may have selected a third row team against Ireland. Most of the players from the original team will not be seen in this series. Still, the team that England have fielded against Ireland is certainly capable of winning against Ireland. The chances of England's victory in tomorrow's match are very high. I hope that England will win the first match and start this series well.eries'

Today we will witness the first ODI between England and Ireland at leeds. England are favorite for this one day series too. We have seen in the last test match between the two teams where England won this match comfortably.

Seeing the performance of the Ireland team in the test match, I do not accept any big change in the results and Ireland will face a hard time in these three ODI too. Meaning that the chances of upsets are close to Nil and hence the odds for the England won’t be good to bet.

I think this is the beauty of this contest that it will be totally concluded in the this forum and no third party will be used for getting any data. I am always thinking of new things and this will be my first try to manage whole contest manually.


I really like your enthusiasm and commitment to this contest and wish you the very best of luck.

By the way, add me to the contest too.

Here are my very first predictions about the tournament.

One Time :

1: Who will win the World Cup final:  Australia
2: Who will score high runs throughout the tournament: Shubman Gill
3: Who will pick more wickets throughout the tournament:  Kuldeep Yadav
4: Who will hit more sixes throughout the tournament:  Virat Kohli

Just curious, if you think Shubman Gill will score the most runs, Kuldeep Yadav will take the most wickets, and Virat Kohli will hit the most sixes throughout the tournament, what makes you think that India will not win the cup itself?  Grin

Well sometimes, you will find a lot of good performances by the individual players but they are unable to win the tournament. Another point is that this tournament is being held in India and they will have a lot of home ground pressure and sometimes a home team can fail to perform well in from of home crowd and can choke in the knock out stages of the tournament.

Well, India can still manage to win the cup but I feel that it is difficult for the home team to life the cup. Anyhow lets see how it goes, I have given my prediction which I think may be one of the possibilities.
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 20, 2023, 06:18:12 AM
It will be very hard for gamblers to pay tax so it is better for the casino company to pay the tax that collect the tax from the gamblers indirectly. Why I said indirect because poor gamblers do not like to pay tax because they are there to look for their daily meat and if a casino try to tax them directly they won't agree for that. Though the rich gamblers can pay their tax directly because they have enough to gamble and pay the tax but that is contrary to the poor gamblers which is more in the gambling field. Therefore tax efficiency can not found in the lower class gamblers but can be in the middle and upper class gamblers.

When you say that poor gambler cannot pay the tax, then we should know that not every one has to pay the taxes. Only those who have certain amount on income falls in the tax net. If a gambler is poor, the he would not have that much money on which he need to pay tax and therefore he would be exempted from the tax.

However, if that poor gambler win big amount and he suddenly become rich and have taxable income, then he would be need to give the tax and I think in that case, he should give the tax if it is the requirement from the law of his country.

1920  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: September 19, 2023, 01:02:56 PM
Not secret but not broadcast either, its nobodys business but your own really much like many activities.   IF you mean secret from your family especially your wife who you split finances from then yea I would prefer not to have to do that but I understand if many people do avoid that aggravation if its not really needed to do.   The only real reason you have to disclose gambling is when you fail to control or  balance your finances then likely its problem for you and everyone around you unfortunately.
True, the worst problem you can encounter is getting addicted to gambling and losing a lot of money because of it which can lead to real trouble. IMO the best thing to do is to be open with your family and your tell about your gambling activities and you shouldn't hide it. Things tend to get worse when you hide such stuffs like that and if they find out, it can lead to a lot of troubles, sometimes even resulting in divorce or major problems within your family.

Of course when you defaulted utility bills, its definitely time to pause and think through. But as long as you manages to make it and you spend the money that your wife has allocated for you, there is no need for her to know how you spend the money or your gambling activity.

Wives talk to other wives. They even talk how big your dick is. So your habit is just another that will make them despise you.

It becomes extremely hard for anyone to hide gambling activities within the home. For example, for a husband, it is almost impossible to hide that he is gambling (even if he is using his own money) as his wife can catch him gambling online on his system or mobile. Yes, you can keep your gambling habit hidden from friends or relatives but it becomes extremely difficult to hide it from the people living at your home.

So in my opinion, it is better to talk to your family, take them in confidence that you are gambling, only allocating certain funds, and show them the profits earned.
