1961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: September 14, 2023, 02:10:31 PM
Another future father, a future millionaire maybe, young 22 year old boy with a promising future lost to suicide after losing his school fees, and that of his friend to sport betting due to gambling addiction..


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.

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

With the development of the Internet and smartphones, the online gambling market in the world is growing stronger. This boom is due to the growing trend of digitalization and the loosening of regulations related to online gambling. Many countries have accepted the legalization of sports betting.
This development is so strong we can see that people will play it. Even all classes of society can easily access this gambling game.''I saw a child using a phone to gamble. Will this be a harmful effect worth reporting?''


Well, with cryptocurrencies, access to online gambling is eased. Previously you needed a credit card to gamble online and not everyone had the credit card / bank account. This automatically puts restrictions too but now anyone can access the gambling site and use crypto to gamble and even minors can gamble on platforms that do not ask for the KYC.

If a child is found betting on the mobile phone, we can only blame his parents for not keeping an eye on him and also giving him access to the money through which he places the bet.
1964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: September 14, 2023, 12:12:38 AM

this thread reminds of me of what happened to Stake recently where they just got hacked. not sure if the coins of the users were also compromised but hopefully not after all Stake is very rich and can refund all.

but what happens if it weren't stake.com? if it was just a casino that isn't very well known and only a few thousand in their budget for refunds then you lost your coins as if you are scammed.

Well, there is no impact on the stake users as Stake being the huge gambling casino, has already compensated the affected users but again this does not mean that we use the gambling sites as wallets and save our money on those sites.

You should only deposit the amount with which you want to gamble and the rest amount should be in your personal wallet and on the centralized casino sites. Even your money should not be in any centralized sites including the trading platforms or the online wallet sites that do not give access to your private keys.
1965  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 13, 2023, 05:57:09 PM
I don't like people after losing gambling. They take their anger out on friends, family, and work. They are so selfish. I hate people like that. In life, they seem to have no responsibility for what they cause. They think doing so will put their mind at ease. But that's wrong. They are gradually ruining their lives with those small sadnesses. Lost money can be earned back. I just hope they can master themselves in this gambling game.
There are some gamblers who fail to control themselves after losing. Those gamblers try to blame others for their gambling failures. Some are anxious themselves, even if they don't directly blame themselves. As a result, they do not maintain good relations with family, friends and relatives. But not everyone does this. We can gamble but we should gamble with money such money that losing will not affect the personal life of the gambler. Only they should remember that winning and losing both are part of gambling so one should not expect only win they should ready for loss.

Keeping the emotion of the loss to themselves is right but what I hate about some gamblers who would start to misbehave with everyone if they have lost in gambling. This will have a bad effect on their family and friends.

If anyone loses in gambling, he or she should not find excuses to blame others for their loss. Doing so, they will not get their money back but due to this they will only lose their friends and in the case of family, this situation can be even worse. This behaviour of gamblers is usually because they get into depression once they lose their money.

In today's 3rd ODI match between England vs New Zealand, England team batted first and set a target of 368 runs in 48.1 overs. Root did not bat well today. Root got out for 4 runs in 7 balls. But Ben Stokes batted very well. 182 off 124 balls.  Ben Stokes scored.Dawid Malan was dismissed for 96 runs off 95 balls.England team batsmen Ben Stokes and Dawid Malan performed very well in this match today.New Zealand team now came out to bat.They scored 58 runs in 43.3 overs.But so far  New Zealand has lost 4 wickets. In today's match, the batsmen of the New Zealand team are under a lot of pressure by losing wickets.

Both teams know the importance of this match as the team who won today's match can't lose the series. So the winner of today's match will go to the fourth match with no pressure, noting to lose and play with confidence to win the match and series.

So far England is dominating this match. When they scored 368 runs in the first innings, it was obvious that there are too many runs and the other team (New Zealand ) would become under pressure.

This is exactly what happened and the New Zealand team are struggling at 99-5.
1967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Australia will ban Gambling through credit cards on: September 13, 2023, 05:13:17 PM
Australia is looking to ban credit card usage in online gambling. The reason they give is that Australia loses 25 billion dollars only in gambling in a year. That is a big amount indeed.

Although the title says, the ban of credit cards but when you read the actual news it says that they will ban crypto usage in online gambling too.

Quote
The Bill, set to be introduced to federal parliament on Wednesday, will illegalise the use of credit cards and digital currencies in online wagering and slap fines up to $234,750 on companies that don’t enforce the ban.

Is this bill means that Australia is going to ban online gambling because if people can't use a credit card or crypto, how will they do online gambling?

1968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learning from those who have experience on: September 13, 2023, 04:59:49 PM
So in my opinion to reduce these activities you have to have new activities that are more fun, because I am very sure that slowly you will be able to get out of that comfort zone but but you have to consistently do it, that's all I think.
This will be a very good option to reduce the desire to gamble because with new activities that make us forget about gambling, gradually this will be like a stimulus for us that can just free ourselves from gambling that has become an addiction. It's just that in this case the level is that when finding something new that is more fun it must be seen first the pleasure we find because in the end if the new pleasure we have has a negative impact it is the same as getting out of the lion's cage and entering the crocodile's cage which makes us trapped again.

But if the new thing is something positive then obviously it is very good, I personally for things like this always get together with some colleagues and family to just chat and relax to fill the time with small talk and it is still quite effective for myself to forget about gambling even though I still do gambling but I can limit it now.

That is very much better instead of wasting your time towards gambling as you are only risking your life away, you know there are some wins on the process but what if you will have more losses because you don't actually have a thing towards it then you already know what will happen to you in case that happens. Just try to imagine it, you will already know the answer yourself that is why it is much better to take another hobby, a hobby that will be an investment for you to earn more money while risking the losses.

The important thing is to learn from the experience of gamblers who are old in this field and have been playing regularly. They will tell you how much important is money management in gambling. Also, they will give us the realistic picture that gambling is not all about making money, it is more about risking money to make or lose our money.

Another thing which I noted is that new gamblers are usually not willing to get knowledge from the experienced ones and they are more keen on playing themselves and learning through experience.  Undecided

The match starts in a few minutes between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and also toss starts in 5 minutes.
I think you haven't any idea that Pakistan vs Sirilanka schedule tomorrow and you are expecting today, but it's true that it will be deciding match for both of team because winner will be quality for Asia Cup final against India and loser will be eliminated for the tournament, In my view paksitan are awake from long winning streak sleep and now they will be fully focused on the only decider match . No doubt some of quality pacer will be not available but I am quite sure that the new boy will fullfill too paksitan fan expectations. Now the only problem which will Pakistan face that thier main spinner performance were quite bad and currently they have none more quality spinner which utilize the situation completely and book a strong victory for his team

I usually look at the bookmaker's odds to further get the confluence of who has more chances of winning the matches. Pakistan with the odds of 1.5 is clearly the favorite for tomorrow's match. I personally will also be supporting Pakistan, because i would love to see the India Pakistan Asia Cup Final. This will no doubt be a big game if it happens.

Odds for both teams are here.

1970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: September 13, 2023, 08:50:45 AM
Set a higher winning amount for a certain time, isn't a good practice. Cause for that, you need to continuously rollover until reached the milestone which force you to take high risk what causes lose! Better practice is, always set lower your winning amount, keep patient and try to selft control , learn from pasts and then fine go ahead. Moreover, it is better to roll over on few selected game rather than keep playing for hours randomly. Cause thus playing more and more could result lost due to several attemptions of recovery. So i try to follow this rule

Yeah, if you set your target to a higher position, chance to lose first before reaching it is very possible, better to keep it low
and make sure that you will add that patience and good judgement when the time is needed for you to stop.

There are many factors that can affect you during your game and having a set target will allow you to enjoy and yet gain decently if
you continually practice and follow your set goals.

Possible to make money and lessen the chance of losing huge amount of money.

I agree with the set winning limit target but we should be flexible in our approach and should not be rigid they we will only quit gambling for the day once that target is reached.

Sometimes the luck is not on our side and we loses more games. A gambler should be focused enough to know early that today is not his day, and he should quit gambling before reaching the targets else the chances of making more loss may increase.

Sri Lanka vs India

Today is the 10th Asia Cup match of Super Four Zone. This is the second big match which will India play. And India already played a match with Pakistan with great performance. And now they will face the second big team Sri Lanka. So I can't say anything at this time because both teams are good and have good performance in previous matches. So this is really hard to predict at this time. So let's wait for the match. Smiley

India is the hot favourite in this contest. Their performance against Pakistan was phenomenal, and now they have the much-needed confidence to take the game away from any bowling lineup. Overall, SL is a good team with some good emerging fast bowlers, but they are badly missing the services of Hasaranga. Their batting is also chipping, but looking at the current form, I think India will win this game comfortably.
The Indian team is now in the leading position of the Asia Cup from both the bowling and batting aspects. Yesterday India gave a remarkable match against Pakistan. Team India's performance confirms that they are favorites in the Asia Cup final. Sri Lanka won 2 out of 2 matches in Group B in this Asia Cup. Coming to the Super Four, Sri Lanka have played one match in which they have won one match. So if we considered on the basis of yesterday's performance of Pakistan, Sri Lanka is definitely superior as India's opponent.
Super 4 Sri Lanka's position is almost better than Pakistan because already Sri Lanka is second in the points table after winning against Bangladesh, on the other hand Pakistan is far behind in terms of run rate after losing to India yesterday by a huge margin of 228 runs. If Sri Lanka wins the match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan then the favorite Pakistan will have no chance in this year's Asia Cup.

Well, we will see who will win this match as India did not give a big target to the Srilanka team, only 213 and they were all out. Not something we expect from the strong Indian batting line up.
Dunith Wellalage took 5 wickets and Charith Asalanka took 4 wickets, the spin doing the magic for the Srilankan team.

Srilanka in response are struggling at 47-3 wickets and the pitch is helping the spinners more than it did in the first half.
Batting on this pitch isn't going to be easy, indeed.

Are the operation at stake normal ? I mean did people lose any money in their accounts on stake or there has been any withdrawal problems recently?

There has been no disturbance to the stake operation and the gambling site is operating normally.

I recently withdraw some amount from my stake account and it was withdrawal to my account as per the usual process (that is you have to confirm the withdrawal through email).

And now they will face the second big team Sri Lanka. So I can't say anything at this time because both teams are good and have good performance in previous matches.

Indian team squad is very strong, Sri Lanka team does not have any good fast bowling spinners in Indian team. India team has performed well in almost all matches in this Asia Cup, I believe India team can score good runs today as well. The batting line-up consists of Rahul, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma currently at the top of the Indian team. So I can guess to some extent that India has a better chance of winning today if they can keep their wickets in the end.

India's squad is strong. And more importantly, after the 228-run win against  pakistan, the Indian players are now very confident . India will not make any mistakes against Sri lanka. Also the Sri lankan squad is not very strong. Sri lanka's bowling line-up in particular is weak.

India's top order batted brilliantly against Sri lanka.  Rohit and gill scored half-centuries and got off to a great start . Both Rahul and Kohli were unbeaten with more than 100.  Indian batsmen are in very good form. That's why I don't see any chance of sri lanka winning this match. India will want to secure the final with a win in this match...

India is surely the favorite in today's match against Srilanka. However, we should not forget that this game is again in Colombo where we had rain for the last two days (in India Pakistan match).

So we will have to see if the rain does not disturb today's match and we do not have any reserve day for this match. If we have a full 50 over game, i guess India should win comfortably. If the match is decided by the DRS method, then it becomes tricky and we need to see which team get the most benefit out of it.
1974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the Difference Between Plying Gambling on Online Sites and Real Casinos? on: September 12, 2023, 06:28:44 AM
In my country there are no casinos operating because it is an illegal activity. However, many online gambling sites operate and have many users from our country. So, even though I often play on online gambling sites,

If the casino is illegal in your country, no one can operate an online casino either in that country. Yes, people can play at other global online casinos (not hosted by your country) as they are online and any country can't ban them.


Do you have experience playing at real casinos and online gambling sites? Is there a difference playing there? I want to know.

First, you need to know that all the casinos are real, the online ones and the physical ones. Yes, you may ask the difference between an online casino and a physical casino. Online casinos are also real and they are not fake. Anyways, playing at physical casino with people around you is an entirely different experience as compared to playing online alone in front of your computer.
1975  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit - be aware, i was lucky on: September 12, 2023, 05:17:20 AM
Hi. My friend CHATGPT help me out:

I wanted to share my experience as a Rollbit user. It appears that Rollbit somehow acquired my information, possibly from my previous involvement with Stake. As a Diamond-level player on stake, Rollbit unexpectedly awarded me 6k for free. This made me quite profitable since I hadn't deposited any of my own funds, and I managed to cash out between 50-80k in the past year.


First what is the role of ChatGPT in all this case ? You mean that Rollbit got to know that you are a diamond level player at stake.com, through ChatGPT ? I don't think that chatGPT has such information of the users within the platform.



I'm not deeply attached to my Rollbit account, but it seems they may have grown weary of not seeing a return on the money they awarded me. In total, I received 14K in bonuses without ever depositing my "own" money.

My intention in sharing this story is to caution all of you to approach Rollbit  with caution. It's essential to be aware of the risks, especially when they involve receiving unexpected bonuses or promotions from them.  I hope none of you have to endure the disappointment of having your funds confiscated. Stay safe Smiley

You first received 6K bonus and then you received more bonuses that amount to the total of 14K bonus in your rollbit account. You think that they were doing this bonus transfers to your account as they thought that you will start depositing also ? I don't think rollbit needs to do such acts.
1976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: September 12, 2023, 04:39:13 AM
Talking about first experience,now I want to send this message to newbies,who never knew anything about gambling,and are seeing discussion about this topic,that gambling is something one needs to be careful of,because the moment you get addicted to it,you will find it very difficult to stop it,and despite all the suggestions given on the forum as solutions to Gambling addiction,people are still suffering heavy loss as a result of the fact that they are unable to stop it.Therefore,before venturing into gambling,consider the good and the bad of it,I won't say anyone shouldnt gamble because you might have seen someone win heavily through gambling,and might have the mid to start taking the risk,know that gambling is a risk worth taking,but be wise in taking the risk today avoid had i known.

Also, people will usually tell the good experiences of gambling and may hide the bad experiences. This may mislead the newbies who may think that gambling activity may only gives a lot of money and the chances of loss are very minimal.

This may not be true in reality as when you gamble in an ideal world, you have 50-50 chances of winning and losing. However, if the casino is not fair or there is some miscommunication about the house edge by the casino, the losing chances increase more than the winning.

Yes, today  match was disappointing for the Pakistan team and defeated very badly.
It's really hurt us because Pakistan has a class team always thier performance are phenomenal, today against India they can done more decent then current but unfortunately they can't. I think bad evil eyes really damage us because first we got Haris injured then Naseem and still no idea who will be the next one. No doubt India play a quiality cricket they show his class and especially my favourite player Virat they way he scored his century and then a straight six on last ball was mind-blowing.
Anyway we should support our team because for one match result we can calculate how potential player he is, so it's time for us toh back our team and I am quite sure we will meet India in final again, and i am sure that, that time result will be quite surprising. believe me our player will done thier homework quite decently and will show his class in final.
The more we waited for this match, the more boring it become.Once time match had to be stopped  due to rain and secondly their batting was very disturbing due to which this match because boring as much as it interesting.In this Asia Cup, Pakistan was going in full form but whenever Pakistan and India are in match-ups, Pakistan lose their senses due to which they have to face defeat.it can only be hoped that these two teams will meet again in the final.

Yes, i agree that we had a lot of stoppages in this match and seeing a one day match being completed in two days is never entertaining to watch but you have to admit the fact that Pakistan's batting, bowling and fielding, all were below par in this match and India dominated the match right from the beginning.

Even if the match was completed on the first day, the result would have been no different. Isn't?

I noticed something lately. Although it has been there for a long while but the time I have spent on this board is making me see things. I do not know if this is how it is in other parts of the world but I noticed that in my banking app, there a betting feature where the user can place a bet on any match directly from the app.

Well for some people this may be convenient that they can now bet directly using the mobile banking app and sending/receiving money from betting would go directly to and from the bank account. So, If you do not want to use this feature, you may ignore it but there may be many people who are willing to bet from the app.

Yes, sometimes it is tempting to bet, if you see the betting button on your mobile app, whenever you open your app. But then people need to be emotionally strong. If they do not want to bet, only the betting button should not be an excuse for them to bet.

India will easily win this one as long as rain stops interrupting if you ask me. Pakistan were always on the backfoot after India posted such a huge target, but losing 2 major wickets so quickly pretty much ensured that it's over for them.

Looks like another one-sided encounter! What remains to be seen is by how big a margin Pakistan loses against India from here on out.

One thing is for sure, that if the rain stops and we have 9 more overs in play, India will easily win this match.

But the big question is when will the rain stop? As there are ads being shown on the TV, I see an update on cricinfo that it is still raining heavy.

It’s really suspicious, how did the scammer know that you have so much balance? Moreover how did he know that which email is associated with this account? And he just placed the bets, so that you can suffer? For me this is a pre planned story I guess. I am assuming you yourself lost the bets, and now trying to make stake team responsible for it, so that they can send you a refund. I am just assuming. I might be wrong. If necessary proofs is being presented, then yes I might believe what OP is trying to communicate.

Well regardless of the  fact the the OP got affected by any hacker or he himself lost the bets, in both cases stake is not responsible for his losses.

It is the responsibility of the gambler to keep safe guard his system and also not to click on any malicious links. Gambling sites are only responsible for any glitches that occur in the gambling site, which did not happen in this case.
