2221  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Playing Slot Games On Demo/Free mode Vs Live/Paid Mode on: August 04, 2023, 12:40:30 PM
I rarely play slots games and from the first few times I have played it wasn't on demo as it doesn't give the needful experience one would later be getting playing live paid games. Demo games are thoroughly provably fair and that makes their winning rate high and not contestable cause it's no money in it.
A lot of people that had to start learning any game using demo the chances are that they tend to have a high losing rate when they decides to migrate to real live games that's because there's now a contestation between the game providers and the player. So, Playing real live games is what I prefer most.

Sometimes I think that when you play the demo games, you have stress free mind as no money is invested in these demo versions of the games and therefore your win rate is higher.  Even if we believe that both demo and real games are totally the same from the backend, still while playing the real games we may make emotional decisions as our real money is at risk, so we lose more.

Also, most of us do not calculate the loses in demo games, but we calculate each and every loss in real games, so maybe the loss in real games seems more to us.
2222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My new favorite betting method. on: August 04, 2023, 10:06:34 AM
The logic behind this betting method isn't complex at all. You bet $2 on x2 and on the next bet you sum +1 to the bet amount and it looks something like this:

Code:
$2 - x2
$3 - x3
$4 - x4
$5 - x5
...
$10,000 - x10,000

I know, in the example looks like a lot of money to bet, but now think about starting from 0.00000002 BTC or better known as 2 satoshis, with increments of 1 satoshi, you can be betting in the long run with 0.001 btc.

To do this I hire a guy to make a betting bot for a casino, and is looking good, is really hard to find a losing run with it.

So, what do you think about this betting method, Has someone tried it in the past?

I need a bit more understanding on this one as i don't see it as a simple and working method.

First, you need to bet on the odds of X2. The odds for the teams similar in performances are less than 2. And other odds may exceed 2 or even more but it is highly we win those odds because the team whom the gambling sites give 2.0+ odds is an underdog or less strong team and weak teams do not often win.

Secondly, we will increase the bet to +1 on every bet, no matter if the result of the previous bet is a loss or win  Huh
What if you keep on winning the bets and once you reach a stage where you have bet increased to +50 or +100 and you lose that bet?

How can you be profitable in that scenario?

How many centuries will it take for bitcoin to hit $100 million, I know it's crazy!

There is no higher expectation for sat = $1 but this is too far away so capitalists must be higher than anything in the world, I can't guess too far with this crazy prediction.

This may happen one day, we never know the economic conditions of the world and what is going to happen after 50+ years. Technically and theoretically it is possible for 1 Sat to reach 1$ and we cannot deny that equation.

Being optimistic about BitcoinBTC, I hope that Satoshi reaches this value very quickly in our lives. It would be great to see this bitcoin prices on these levels which for now seems almost impossible.
2224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 04, 2023, 07:37:02 AM

I think it's not good that India lost today. Not good for their morale. Remember this is sort of India backup team which is playing and we are testing our bench strength, not being able to chase a target of meagre 149 obviously isn't something you want. I think bad start in batting really pushed India out of match slowly and slowly, also there was no support from any other batsmen than Tilak.

IMO when you are testing your bench strength and second string team then there is no need to panic. It's 5 T-20 match series so plenty of time to bounce back.

Also, it wasn't a one sided affair but yeah if Windies really dominate this Indian side in the upcoming matches then ofc we can talk about the morale and other stuff.


There is nothing to panic as it is the testing phase. However a team with such strong batting unit unable to reach the target of 149 runs is really disappointing. Though it is a 5 match series, one more win coming from West Indies will keep the India team under added pressure in the rest of the matches. This itself down the performance of the players. India has taken the match playfully and once again they'll learn as the ODI series and at the final matches they'll play very carefully.

You are right but usually, this series with the Team West Indies should be considered as easy one and  India should take it seriously. Let's suppose, India lost the 2nd T20 match also then it will be too much pressure for them to win the last three consecutive T20 matches or else the series loss will be at risk.

Also, if you need to experiment a lot, better do it once you have to grab the series, so you have nothing to lose. Losing the first match of the 5-match T20 series is not a good sign.

Buying bitcoin and Mining a bitcoin is completely different from each other , buy a bitcoin is part of trading where you need a fund for trade and on the others hand to do mining you need to set up a Rig and not only that it requires a lot of electricity. And the price of bitcoin is now over 19k it's mean a lot on the others hand You can build a setup for mining for less than 1 bitcoin but mining will be time consuming. Now try to see which one you can put effort into first.

Mining bitcoin BTC is no longer possible for an individual due to the increase in the difficulty and we need heavy equipment to mine bitcoins.

Buying bitcoin is the only option left with us and it is the more convenient option between the two. However, we should buy Bitcoin in the bear market or before the start of the bull run. Many people buy bitcoin in the bull run at high prices when the whales and investors are actually dumping them.
2226  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: August 03, 2023, 11:59:23 PM
when a gambler is looking for a wager-free bonus in such a way that they can just deposit into the casino claim the bonus and then withdraw,  not knowing that such a casino does not exist and if you see any casino that offers such too good to be a true offer, there is a high probability that their end up scamming the gambler.

No trusted casino or any trusted service would offer such thing. A wager free bonus that you can withdraw immediately after making a deposit, no string attached, is the same as those well known bitcoin doublers.
Any reasonable person must realize that there is something fishy when they see an offer like that because why would the casino give you money for free, what are they going to earn!

If a casino does offer high wagering requirements, this thing cannot be interpreted that the casino is a scam.

It is a normal thing for casinos to place high wagering on bonuses and promotions. If they do not do so, they fear that they may lose many to the gamblers which they never want because casino owners always think for their own benefit and least care for the gambler's money and profits.
2227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your reasons for adopting cryptocurrency? on: August 03, 2023, 08:10:59 PM
Lately majority of people find theirselves within the crypto space, but many of them do not really understand the actual reasons for adopting crypto currency other than to make profit, what are your own reasons for adopting cryptocurrency?
Well, we only have two reasons why people had embrace crypto in their lives,
 1. As an investment
 2. Payment Option

But to be honest, the main reason why they are risking their money and giving some effort is to consider crypto as a profitable investment, especially Bitcoin. Besides, crypto has become known to that (as an investment), not a currency which was the main purpose of creating this technology.
Investment!

This had been the most common reason  for most people or everyone on why they had been dealing up or getting engage with Bitcoin or crypto investment. We cant really be able to ignore about the chances and opportunities that it gives in a short time period on which it would really be just that normal that we would  really be having this kind of opportunity on which we dont really like to miss out.

I would also say that it is basically the "ROI : Return On Investments" due to which many people are attached towards the bitcoin and crypto.
Also, I would believe that the short-term returns are much less as compared to the long-term returns. People who invest in Bitcoin for years are actually more profitable as compared to the people who invest for some days or weeks or even months.

Other reasons for adoption may include the fast processing of crypto transactions and one of the easiest ways to transfer money globally without extra effort or cost.
2228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: August 03, 2023, 07:53:16 PM
Making your life even busier with more things. You can do everything you want to forget it. Hang out with your family or playing something that will make you able to stay away with your gadget or pc. You shall think about how to avoid the thing that mostly used by you to play gambling.
TBH, anything will need process, but it can become the easiest way to lowering your addiction to the gambling. There must be an intention that came from yourself to stop your addiction.

You can't stop it instantly but you can stay away from it gradually.

Absolutely, you are correct  keeping in touch with friends, family, loved ones would definitely help alot and also going out at will to catch fun other than that would  help but doing away with your gadget most times is difficult most when you are mostly a Tech guy constantly online doing your job would definitely  put you up for it but of one can take a step to disabling the site from their browser and adds I think it would go along way to help mitigate the gambling addiction.

We need to divert our attention to other things in order to keep our mind away from gambling and this is one of the effective ways to get rid of gambling addiction. If we are able to find something which is more interesting for us, other than gambling, for sure we will give more time to that activity and do not focus on gambling.

Again, this is more of a mind thinking game, where a gambler addict has to think from inside that he wants to get rid of his gambling addiction. If the gambler is not willing to do so, no power in the world can get rid of his addiction.

Non-Stop Drop and Pragmatic Play, Drops & Wins 2023 with very big prize pools and will end in March and June 2024. You have many months to join these two promotions from Flush.com team.

X40 wagering requirements in all of the promo win here is the major turn off to join. You are already competing to receive the rewards while rewards itself has a very high wagering requirements just to claim it. I think this is the reason why they give huge rewards.


When you start wagering 40x times, it becomes almost impossible that you will survive till the 40th turn. Only one out of hundreds may be that lucky and the rest will never be able to cash out the bonus.

I understand that this high wagering requirement is normal these days and none of the gambling sites are willing to give away free money. So even if they give 1000$ as a bonus, they know people won't be able to withdraw it and the gambling site has nothing to lose.
2230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: August 03, 2023, 03:17:40 PM
Actually we cannot say that we are lucky enough when we buy a lottery tickets and win a big amount of money that many people don't have . But in reality it's too hard to hit that jockpot so we can not deny the fact that's some gamblers only buy 1-2 tickets only and then their remaining money they will use it to buy their daily habbits and one of the best example of these are cigarettes and alcohol or wine.

Lotteries are difficult to win and those who participate in lotteries know that the winning probability in lotteries is very less in lotteries as compared to the winning chances. However, people still participate in the lottery because they are always willing to try their luck and hope that they may win a big jackpot on one lucky day.

Other habits or addictions of smoking, and alcohol is not relevant here and I don't think we have much to talk about them.
2231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Playing Slot Games On Demo/Free mode Vs Live/Paid Mode on: August 02, 2023, 04:01:27 PM
Demo/free mode is rigged while live/paid is the real game with provably fair system.

That's why almost people who gamble in demo/free mode would won huge amount of money, when you play in live/paid game the result it completely opposite. It doesn't mean the casino is cheating their player or something like that, as long as you can verify your bet, it's mean the game is legit.

The demo games are usually easy to play and the gamblers often win when games are played in demo mode but as soon as they start to play the actual game with the real money the situation changes altogether and they experience a lot of losses which weren't in the demo games.

Sometimes I think that demo games are entirely different from real games and these demo games are for the marketing purpose so that people think that they can earn a lot of money from gambling. Anyways I am not against the demo games, they do give the opportunity to know the feel-how of the games.

I am 18 yo
schooling in private college
I flip stuff for cash part time regularly to make some extra cash

I have 1 Bitcoin @ 29k  & I keep about $3000 in cash in my bank as emergency fund


You're just 18 and you have a long life ahead. If you agree to me, take my one advice and you will thank me later.

You can sell your bitcoin whenever you feel like, it can be in 2024 or 2025 depending upon the price action in the bull season, but you should never sell the whole 1 bitcoin. Keep 0.25 BTC in a separate wallet and do not sell in for the next 15-20 years. You can save it as your retirement funds and you will be one of the richest people in the world after 20-30 years if you have just 0.25 BTC with you.

Wow! What a finale. Stuart Broad went out in style with both the bat and ball. England managed to win this one by 40+ runs when it looked like the Australians would end up cruising to victory.

Woakes was the game-changer! I thought Stokes dropped the match when he dropped Smith's catch, but he got out pretty quickly. Also, Bairstow took a stunner for a change behind the wicket.

Overall, Australia luckily retained the Ashes thanks to rain, but England came back brilliantly.

We witness one of the most interesting Ashes series and this final match was the best of the 5 match series. We never knew who will be the winner of this match until the last day. Australia fought hard but England once again proved a better team. England won this test match by 49 runs and the Ashes ended in a draw 2-2.

By the way, England was unlucky in the 4th test match, had it not rained, they would have easily won this test match and therefore the series too. Anyways it's part of history now. Officially it's 2-2.
2234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: July 31, 2023, 11:58:49 PM
WOW! Japan women performed greatly in the game between them and Spain women. I have not seen women football team has done what Japan women did to Spain. According to the commentator, Japan has not loss any the matches they have played so far. That is they have not received any goal in their net. Football is a game luck as some said it but I also believe on their skills as well. When a team play well with their skills then goal is sure but if there is no luck them that day, even with their skills they can still loss. So luck is part the game. So what am I saying, Japan women players have the skills and also have the luck to win all their matches.the second Team I am also supporting is Nigerian women team, they are paying in the tournament. I will like to see Japan women and Nigerian women to play the final.
Thats wrong perception about football. It is the game that needs skill as well as stamina, one cannot easily frame it within a circle as it is a luck based game. There are matches in which teams get to be lucky to win with self goals from the opponent and so on. What we see with these matches isn't luck based. They've got skills and the same have rewarded them with the massive win. Three more weeks left and teams are doing their best to reach the top spot on their respective group. Japan Women vs Nigeria Women going to be really interesting and lets see who gonna reach the finals.

The way Japan played against Spain was really impressive as they beat them 4-0 and based on this i would say that Japan will give a tough time to other teams in the tournament. By the way, where do you see the Nigeria and Japan match to be played ?

Both of them are not in the same group and in the round of 16, Japan will take on Norway on Saturday 5th August.

Today, the first match will be between Vietnam and Netherlands while Portugal will take on the United States.  In the Netherlands lose their match and Portugal wins the match, Portugal could still qualify however, the Netherlands will fancy their chances to reach the round of 16 as Vietnam is a weak team.
2235  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN NEED NEW MONEY AS MUCH AS HALVING TO SEE SUSTAINED HIGH PRICES on: July 31, 2023, 11:47:26 PM
There are a lot of speculations around the future and price of Bitcoin. While a lot of people are optimistic that the halving of 2024 will see Bitcoin soar as high as $100k and beyond, I feel new money is needed to sustain such explosive price. In other words, the halving might be just a small reason - what we really need is fresh capital, which generates volume and demand. The tough question is: How will new money flow into Bitcoin? Is the excitement around Bitcoin halving enough fundamental to cause a sustainable surge in price?

I think an answer to these questions and other contributions or objection to my opinion will help a lot of us learn.

Do not worry about the fresh money to be injected into the Bitcoin. People are always willing to invest in Bitcoin provided they know that we are in a bull market. As soon as the halving comes nearby we will see the pre-halving pump and then the post-halving bull market.

Even when the price will reach the all-time high many people will still jump into the bitcoin so I am not worried about the money floating into the bitcoin in the next bull season.
2236  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: July 31, 2023, 11:22:43 PM
Moreover this money lauderers know that the risk behind putting their money on gambling platforms and won't want to pass through the stress of these wagering requirements or kyc processes before withdrawal, they know chance of losing their stolen money is high and would seek other alternatives instead of going through those stressful processes


I understand that going through the gambling process and then fulfilling the wagering requirements can be a headache in itself but then what are the other ways of whiting the black money without any stress? I guess the other ways are even more difficult because exchanges have a lot more strict KYC policies and they would not let you withdraw if they saw anything suspicious about your account.

Hello,

Did you notice, for around 2 weeks, the BFG price is very very stable, in intraday or day to day. It remains around 0.0145.

What is all about?

Thanks

Have you seen the Bitcoin price, it is also moving in a very tight range for the last few weeks. So when bitcoin is stable, it is not a big surprise that altcoins like BFG will also remain stable or make very less movement in terms of price. As soon as the bitcoin will break the resistance or support, the BFG coin will also pump or dump.

Also, you may take this level of 0.0145 and try to buy some BFG tokens for long term prospective. I see a good future for gambling coins and BetFury BFG can be one of the good investments at the current prices.

Very nice of SONY to show only the last 5 balls every over.  Grin

There are some TV channels where cricket matches are being broadcast without any TV ads. Astro Cricket HD is one such channel and it is available worldwide if you are using IPTV. Don't know if it is available on Dish too. On Willow Cricket HD, also you will see very few ads.

https://content.astro.com.my/channels/Astro-Cricket-HD-197

Watching a cricket match without an interception is a blessing in itself, especially when you will see no ads during the over changes or Water breaks etc.
2239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Abuse ... on: July 31, 2023, 04:55:20 PM
Too much of everything is abuse, you need to sit and think about it, what will happen if you drink too much? What will happen if you eat too much? What will happen if you use your power on your fellow citizens because you are a high ranking official? Everything comes with a bad ending, this makes gambling not left out if this discussion, if you gamble too much you will probably lose everything because thinking straight as a gambler is very hard, it's not common to see a gambler who still take care of his family, the majority of gamblers always end up broke and someone else take over their home and they lost their wives to responsible men.

To live healthy there is an amount of sugar we must consume per day, also salt and others, to be a responsible gambler you must have an amount in mind that you are ready to lose, not going into a casino and betting all money you have in your bank account or Bitcoin wallet.
If a gambler loses everything, including his family, he should introspect on what he has done because he has abused gambling to the point where he has to go through such bad things. Even if he can bounce back and try to quit gambling, he will still find it difficult to build a relationship with his family because his family will surely be disappointed by what he does.

But there is no other way if he still thinks he needs to do complete self-healing to give up gambling forever. The abuse of this gambling can greatly impact gamblers, so those who have not experienced it must be careful.

What is the purpose of quitting gambling when you have lost everything and sold everything for gambling. You have lost your family, your near and dear ones and you do not have anything else to sell for gambling. So i don't think anyone can return from this state of mind and start living a normal life again.

An gambling addiction or a gambling abuse should be stopped at initial stages, else it will just ruin your life forever.
2240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 31, 2023, 12:03:35 AM
There is a chance of rain tomorrow too. And more importantly, Australia has yet to lose a single wicket. However, collecting 249 runs is not a difficult task for Australia. However, Australia's target will be to draw the match. Because they can win the series only if they are able to draw the match. Luck is probably not with England. Now maybe the match will be a draw or England will lose. England's chances of winning are slim. The series is likely to be England's to lose.

To my surprise, the Australian opening pair have collected 135 runs and they have not lost any wickets. David Warner playing on 58 and Usman Khawaja on 69 not out, look perfect to chase down this total but the only threat to them is the rain on the fifth and final day of this test match. Australia will be hoping that there is no rain and I am sure that they will chase this target easily.

On the other hand, if this match is also become affected by the rain, even then Australia will be the one will be the Ashes 2023 winner. So, either way, it will be a joyous moment for them, although they would want to win this match too.
