1941  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Big capital, small risk or small capital big risk - which is best approach? on: September 16, 2023, 05:59:24 PM
Different people with different approach to gambling. Some prefer committing huge capital to high probability small odds while others prefer using small capital to target big wins. There are many reasons for each of these approaches.

While those that put huge capital win more often, their losses are usually painful. On the other hand, those that commit small capital to make huge wins rare win but when they do, they win big; their losses too are less painful. There are other advantages and disadvantages for both approaches but for the sake of this discussion, let's know which approach you think is better and why?
gambling is almost similar to business, don't expect that you will get big profits if you only spend a small amount of capital, but it is important to remember that never use gambling capital that exceeds the money you currently have, it's just a trap in your mind if you think you will get more money in your gambling activities (Gambling is not designed to make someone rich overnight, gambling is designed for entertainment that uses money)
However, there are quite a lot of lottery jackpot winners who spend small capital but win very big, their luck is usually only once in a lifetime.


Still i will prefer to risk my small capital by taking big risk, and see where my luck takes me to a win or a loss ?

Even if you invest big capital in a game / bet, you can still lose it even if the chances of that bet losing is less or close to nil. That is how sometimes the underdog teams win, an upset happens and its washes the accounts of thousands of gamblers who have taken the bet on those matches with low odds but with high capital.

Yeah. Sri Lanka has the home ground advantage, but I doubt they will be able to defeat a full strength Indian team. They could win if the Indians mess up royally, but there is a small chance of something like that happening.

Let's get straight to the odds to see who will win the tomorrow's final match. Of course by looking at the odds we can at least get the idea as to who is favorite.

I know India will be the favorite but still we will look at the odds.  Cool



You bet on India and will get only 1.28 odds, You bet on Srilanka and you will get huge 3.45 odds. Whom you are going to bet?
1943  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: September 16, 2023, 02:25:50 PM
A successful gamblers maybe we can say that they are  addict cause we all know that they will career Thier gambling cause they don't win if they don't care gambling or let say they don't win once they are quiting in gambling and maybe Thier perspective is that they want to persure Thier goals which is being a successful gamblers that's why they didn't stop  betting.
So far I have never met a gambler who was truly successful, if there was one they might be called an addict because it is impossible for them to get money quickly, perhaps they take a long times to bet and dare to bet large amounts so they can wins bets with maximum result, and usually people's like that have strategi and patterns that can make them wins.

Also, no one will call "successful gamblers" as addicted.  The term addicted is usually used in a bad sense like if a person is involved in some activity and he or she has a bad result because of access to it, then we call it addicted. If anyone is making money, then for sure, no one will criticize that person as everyone loves to make money.

On the other hand, gamblers who play gambling aggressively would never be a winner in the long run, so usually, gambling addicts are not successful in the first place.
1944  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet hacked? on: September 16, 2023, 11:05:55 AM
It seems that there's now a clarity on what you really receive. But I just want to reiterate some things about these emails that we receive.
If there's no official announcement from then, that's like someone is spoofing as Cloudbet and has taken the credentials or email of their customers and trying to phish you.
This happens not just in casinos but almost in every service where your email has potentially been leaked or hacked and whatever you're receiving is just an email and phishing attempt from theirs. If there's a link attached at the end of the email, don't click it and check first the link if it's safe or a link directing you to visit the phishing form.

There are two takings from this incident.

First, we should not depend upon emails etc to know if a certain site is hacked or compromised. Usually, the news should come from the office handle like Twitter etc. ? If the site is hacked and back to normal, the players of the site should be notified so that they know when is to safe playing there.

Secondly, we should avoid keeping extra funds on the centralized casino sites as we never know when a mishap or a hack may happen and we may lose our funds.
1945  Economy / Gambling / Re: Project feedback on: September 16, 2023, 08:45:00 AM
I've got a project that I need your feedback on. I'm planning of launching a crypto gambling contest newsletter. The concept is very simple, every week we partner with a crypto casino and allow one of our subscribers to win a few hundreds or low thousands dollars to be spent at the casino partner platform.

On one side the casino operator gets a marketing promotion which will eventually results in traffic. On the other side, the members of the newsletter get a chance to win free money to be played. The newsletter would obviously be free to subscribe to.


Have you got the deals with the crypto casinos in this regard? Are they ready for this promotion? I think that gambling casinos would not be interested in your casino unless your site has many visitors which may be an attractive point for the casinos.

Also when i visited your site it took me to this page https://www.waggger.com/subscribe and there are not many details mentioned. If you could write more details as to how it will work, perhaps more people will be interested in subscribing. I am asking this for the users who do not come through bitcointalk but land directly on your page.
1946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 16, 2023, 08:25:14 AM

We are in front of the screen to see another shameless defeat against India and Bangladesh unlikely to bat the whole fifty overs. At least the stats says that Bangladesh were unable to play fifty overs in the last few matches.
Bro how you are feeling now?
 I think Bangladesh team saw ours posts that's why  I they may take revenge to us today. Bro I was go for sleep after seeing the start after woke up I see Bangladesh team made 265run. Anyway credit goes to number one all rounder shakib al hassan and Towhid Hridoy and Nasum Ahmed for their excellent batting, and also all the bowler's.
I think today many of us lose on the bets  Smiley? Anyway my feelings was good that Bangladesh team won the match and returning to home

That was boomer! I did not see the result until I woke up at 3 AM. I was too sleepy at 5 p.m., and I missed the next two salah. I had no intention to watch the match right after seeing that they lost three early wickets. Still, this is not a good win. Not much credit to the top-order batters. The last three lower-order batters scored 87 runs out of 265 runs.

Nasum and Mahdi did far more batter than a few top-order batters. Credit goes to them. Bangladesh won because India gave a chance to their bench players. Yet it's a win for Bangladesh. But nothing was affected by this win.

Yes, with this win, Bangladesh cannot move ahead in the tournament but still, I would call it a good win for Bangladesh.

Think in a way that the Bangladesh team returning to home and people will talk about their poor performance and not winning a single match in the Super 4. Now at least they have something to defend that they had won against India but again not all teams can qualify for the finals.

Winning against a good team is always better than not winning at all in the entire tournament.
1947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Constant wins in the casino for several days, then constant losses. Noticed?! on: September 16, 2023, 04:58:37 AM
Playing for many years, I observe a certain series of wins and losses. It looks like it every time! Also in casino chats, a lot of people talk about it.

Most of the time the casino takes the money. But when the winning session comes, on this day many slots give you a solid win, it is impossible to lose. This successful session can last several days.
As soon as this ends, absolutely all slots begin to take money.

How do you win and lose?

Go with a simple theory, as long as you are seeing constant or more wins, keep on playing and gain money through wagering. Once you see a shift in the winning momentum, a loss for a day or two, it would make you alert that now the bad luck has begun and it's time for the casino to get back your money, you should immediately stop playing for a few days and save your money.

Now the main problem is that most gamblers would only realize this pattern but they will never make the decision to play or quit gambling and therefore they would lose in the end.
1948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 16, 2023, 04:42:21 AM
The first match of the Gulf T20 has started. The first match is played between KSA and KUW. So let's see what happens. KSA batting was finished and KSA made 142 runs with struggle and they lost their 9 wickets.
In this match Kuwait won by 5 wickets against Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia scored 142 runs in loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs. Faisal Khan played a good inning of 62 runs in 42 balls. While Kuwait chased down the target in 143 runs in 18.3 overs by losing 5 wickets. Kuwait batsman Ravija Sandaruwan also scored a well-deserved fifty 58 runs in 17 balls and Meet Bhavsar also played a good inning and helped his team to win the match against Saudi Arabia. The player of the match is Adnan Idrees for his brilliant all round performance picked up 2 wickets by just giving 17 runs and also scored 31 runs in 17 balls.

Where did you watch this match  Huh

It would have been better if they could include International players in the teams/leagues otherwise who is interested to see local players from Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain and other gulf countries?

Also, this series is happening at Doha and they have enough money and resources to engage the international audience.
1949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 15, 2023, 05:59:18 PM
Finally India have lost to Bangladesh. Soon we can see nagin dance performance from the Bangladesh players. India had the winning chance till the 48th over. Once the wicket of Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur fell, the winning probability diminished. Though this match result doesn't gonna make any changes to the tournament finals, the win gives Bangladesh the positivity.

We got a chance to enjoy a very competitive match. This is the first time since 2012 that the Bangladesh team has won against India in the Asia Cup. This is indeed a big achievement for Bangladesh. Although India have already qualified for the finals.

I would like to thank Bangladesh's middle order for Bangladesh's win in this match. Shakib, Hridoy and Nasum batted very well. But I expected better performances from Anamul and Litton.
Tanzim sakib is the new pace bowler of Bangladesh squad. This youngster has bowled brilliantly even against a big team like India. Also the bowling of Shakib, Nasum and Mahedi was quite controlled. I am very happy with the overall performance of the Bangladesh team. But their players cannot maintain consistency. This is their biggest weakness.


I would call it an upset when Bangladesh defeated the Asia Cup finalist, India.

From Bangladesh's point of view, although they could not make it to the finals but at least they end the tournament on a good note. Beating India is a big achievement for the Bangladesh boys.

India team did not bat well in this match, If Shubman Gill  was not able to make 121 runs, i guess the Indian team would have all out within 150 runs.
1950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: September 15, 2023, 05:16:21 PM
Yes, there are many points that completely coincide. I don’t play or place bets if I’m tired,this has already been proven more than once. The result will most often be only negative. First of all, you must be in the mood and strength, then you can do it. If the event is of a global scale, then I can ask my friends to place a bet for me in advance, but not for a large amount, just as much as I am willing to spend.

Well, this has to do with something with your readiness and not just that you are tired and you will lose. This is no logic.

Yes. when you are fresh, you will think more before placing the bet, you will research more and therefore the chances of winning the bet will increase as compared to a situation where you are tired and just place the bet. Although there is no hard and fast rule, that you will win the bet only when you are fresh and energetic, you can still lose the bet in both situations.

OP cannot fool people here claiming to be a number-one online casino, after posting two posts about their casino he went offline, he is not responsive launching an announcement here is not you post they will come and play kind of thing, you have to prove that your announcement is good and your claim and terms are facts and acceptable.

If OP did research on how to promote his platform he would not receive criticism and bad feedback, if he goes online he should check all the comments and address all that needs to be addressed.

Well, everyone think that his casino (or any product / business) is the best one. However the main target for the casino should be that gamblers says that this casino is the number 1.  Also, a new casino cannot take the number one spot, in terms of popularity and revenue as there are other casino which are running for years and have gained a lot of trust among the gamblers.

Anyways. new casino still have chance to grow, provided the owners keep on working on their casino with dedication and try to give as much facilities to the gamblers.

What is this Gulf T20 series? I never heard of it and no one even discussed it on this thread. Upon checking on Cricinfo, i found it is a tournament where unpopular Gulf teams are having their T20 tournament.

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/gulf-cricket-t20i-championship-2023-1392788

Don't think this tournament will attract any global viewership as we never heard of these teams before. I guess all the players are native too?

no this time I didnt wager anything but I have made sports bets like a week ago on rollbit. Now the agent is telling me to kyc but apparently documents from my country are not accepted but my country is not on the 'restricted countries' list

What do you mean that the documents from your country are not accepted ? How it is possible if your country is in the allowed list ? Or you mean to say that the documents you provided for KYC are not satisfactory ?

Did you talked with the agent and what exactly did he said about the KYC documents ?

At first, i thought that you will get your withdrawal as 16 hours or so is not a big deal but now things seems complicated and Rollbit seems to have a valid reason denying you payment. However, your case is not clear as i don't think you have told every details here at the moment  Huh
1954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 15, 2023, 02:27:19 PM
I saw the squad of Bangladesh today, it seems that they have no goal to win. They are playing today's match just to keep the rules. Although Bangladesh did not win the last few matches, we saw excellent performances from Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful and Taskin. At the same time, Mushfiq's performance was also quite good. But these 4 players are not kept in the squad today. Liton Das and Anamul Haque were given opportunities, but the performances of these two batsmen were poor as usual. Bangladesh would have lost all wickets within 150 today if Shakib and Hridoy did not bat well. Bangladesh collected 223 runs in 45 overs. Quite a good collection. The team may be able to provide a target of 250. As the pitch is spin friendly. Bangladesh's bowlers have a chance to improve.

Both India and Bangladesh having nothing to lose today. India already in the final while Bangladesh along with Pakistan are out of Asia Cup. Today performance of Bangladesh batting is quite impressive against strong Indian bowling lineup. Target set by Bangladesh batting is 265 which is not a huge but a decent one. To qualify for the final Bangladesh need to win today's match with huge margin.

Today's match is not important in the context of this Asia cup as we already have the teams decided for the final match, that is India and Srillanka. However, i am impressed with the way the Bangladesh team batted against the strong India team and managed to score a decent 265 runs.

Although the Bangladesh team started badly, losing some quick wickets but then Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy and Nasum Ahmed helped them reach total which they can bowl at and try to restrict India.

So far, India is 38-2, and Bangladesh looking for their first win today.
1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: benefits of having mature accounts at 3 casinos (personal experience) on: September 15, 2023, 01:19:07 PM
maybe, the OP is getting something on each of those accounts. as we have seen, each casino have their perks and bonuses. since he's a gambler, it seems that he's really spending quite a lot of money and time playing on these casinos. for some, it is total waste of money. but for most regular gamblers, they are happy about it. so long you are not having financial problems, then do your own thing.
Having a high account at 3 or more casinos can clearly provide benefits for him because each casino will provide certain rewards that he can get every week or month.
And yes, he probably spent a lot of money to get to that high level in each casino, and not many of us can do that.
And you are right that for the average gambler, it is not necessary, especially for those who only use gambling as entertainment.
They will probably have accounts at many casinos but will not try to reach a high level because the goal of gambling is just to have fun.

Having high accounts will be useless if you are no longer actively playing, there will be no benefits because the bonus in some casinos are based on several aspects especially wagering.
For example in duelbits, their weekly and monthly bonus is depending on how much you wager during the week and month (no wager = no bonus).
In stake, for now they are still giving some bonuses although the account is not that active but the bonus is getting lowered if the account wager less.
Sooner or later, high level accounts in Stake will also get nothing if the account is inactive for too long time.
The main point, there will be always requirements to get the benefits so players should mantain the account by depositing and wagering regularly to get the benefits.

Also if you want to create multiple accounts at gambling sites, this means that you will deposit in all of those accounts and also met the wagering requirement of any bonus offers in all accounts from time to time, this means that you will be risking more money in gambling. If you have so much extra money, it is still better to stick to one account and gamble.

Also, some gambling sites may not allow multiple accounts and if found, they may block all of your accounts.

Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf injuries screwed Pakistan big-time and it's pretty evident in this match since Sri Lanka is cruising towards victory at the moment. Shadab is the only decent bowler among them.

Afridi is struggling along with the rest. Mendis is most probably playing a match-winning innings. Great stuff Sri Lanka!

Another worst match for Pakistani team because Sri Lanka has managed to make around 250 runs in 41.5 overs and only four out. I was expecting a good bowling performance from team Pakistan but again they aren't doing very well today. I think Sri Lanka will win this match because their batsmen especially Kusal Mendis played very well in the match, and now Charith Asalanka is also giving his best performance to win the match.
 


Hard luck to the Pakistan team. They were so close to be in the finals but yet not found themselves there. Charith Asalanka snatched the win from Pakistan and he got his team into the finals with India.

The Srilankans and the people in Colombo won't sleep tonight. They will keep on buzzing about this match for a long long time as this is one of the historic win. It was cliff hanger and we didn't know till the last ball who would win the match to play the finals with India.

We have to wait for another Asia cup for the India Pakistan final.
1957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: September 14, 2023, 04:15:48 PM
In India, cricket is far ahead of all the other sports in terms of popularity.

No doubt cricket is the biggest Industry in India and no other sports match the popularity of cricket in India.

Recently in the Asia Cup, we have had a lot of rain affected matches, the results of which are decided through the DLS System. Most of us do not know how this DLS method works and more importantly how the calculations are made in this method.

The below article explains all and is worth reading.

How the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method works
1958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 14, 2023, 02:42:07 PM
Another rain affected game. Horrendous planning by the boards involved. Anyway, it looks like Pakistan is off to a good start despite losing Zaman early, but the tide could change thanks to Wellalage.

Sri Lanka need to restrict Pakistan under 200 if they want to win this match in my opinion.

Srilanka has managed to restrict the run rate of the Pakistan team. They are scoring at a rate of almost 4.5 runs an over and we are in the 20th over. Considering that the match is reduced to 45 overs and also there can be another delay because of rain, and if this match is decided on DRS, then Srilanka may have the advantage.
Pakistan batters are struggling against Sirlinka Spinners. Current score of the Pakistan team is 130 runs in a loss of 5 wickets in 27.4 overs. Babar Azam scored 29 runs in 35 balls and Abdullah Shaffiq played an amazing inning score his maiden Fifty. Sirlinka amazing bowling performance especially Matheesha Pathirana who picked 2 wickets on Farkhar Zaman and Muhammad Harris by just giving 38 runs in 5 overs. I think Pakistan will go to 230 plus total if the win this match otherwise Sirlinka have a good chance to win and qualify for the final.

This Asia Cup will be remembered more for its rain than the matches itself. Once again the rain interrupted the match and as per the latest update, the match will resume shortly. However, the match is now reduced to 42 overs a side.

By the way I was wondering if this interruption and more reduction overs will favor Srilanka or Pakistan ?

No doubt, at the moment, the Srilankan team is way ahead in this match and is looking favourites.

This is indeed a sad incident and it becomes even more sad when you know it happened with a 22 year old boy.  Cry

Losing in gambling or having a gambling addiction is a separate thing, I am unable to understand how much pressure he would have when he lost his school fee money in gambling and he could not have faced his parents to tell them about the loss and he chose to suicide instead. I wonder why parents are so strict and why can't they help their children recover from these bad habits. Perhaps if he had some good openness with his parents, he could have saved his life. I will also blame his parents for this incident.

Pakistan batsmen are playing very cautiously, maybe they have some confidence loss due to a very bad previous game against the Indian side.
