Whether you are a whale or a commoner then there's no way that you could really able to avoid those random chance if we do speak about winning, the only differs here into those huge wagerers is that they could really extent out their strategies on to some certain degree because they do have huge bankroll or capital which those commoners or small wagerers couldnt able to do so.

I dont stress out myself on why is that others do win often and just simply accepts that im not really lucky on that particular session or game time.

There is no doubt that a whale could expand its strategy to a certain degree because the capital it used exceeded that of ordinary gamblers who only used small capital.

We can only think that small gamblers can win if they have great luck, so the wins will also be big, and this can happen in slot games.

But if you feel you have skills in skill-based gambling games, your win rate may be greater so you can win in large numbers.

But once again, the victory will not come easily and the loss will come easily to you.
So be wise in playing gambling.


If a small amount of capital is the problem, then the adjustment that plebs must do that makes good logical sense is, make your bets smaller.

Smaller amount of capital = smaller bets. Cool

Don't believe those plebs like us who says that the Martingale System works because 100% of the time is, they're lying. Martingale System with a small/limited amount of capital, played in casino games with house edge low or high, is a quick path to ruin.
1702  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does a trading strategy becomes obsolete? on: December 24, 2022, 07:29:20 AM
I am trying to learn more about trading strategies specially in Technical Analysis. Upon trying different indicators, it comes to my mind that indicators might become an obsolete one day.

Just imagine if all of us knows how to use RSI and MACD. We all know when it is overbought or oversold. Therefore, we already know as well when it is good to enter and exit in market. Since we all knew about, RSI is not a good indicator anymore and many of us will find a new indicator that will provide us more details than the latter one.

Now, many Trading Gurus are teaching the best strategy to use. Wherein fact, strategies are becoming obsolete as time goes by. If you are new in trading world, definitely you will be eaten by those traders who know a lot in trading.


I believe it's cyclical. If a trading strategy has become very popular, its effectiveness will be not as much because the trades taken by such a strategy will be "over-crowded", and over-crowded trades will have a lot of "counter-trades" in the other side of the orderbook. Once the trading strategy's effectiveness is not as much, its popularity will become lower, and once it becomes lower, it's effectiveness will go up again. A cycle.

Overbought and oversold strategy is very popular, many traders indeed use it on the longer time frames which I believe works best that way like the weekly chart. The more traders use it, I think triggers a bull market especially when they all buy at the oversold level and hold it.

Using the strategy on leverage trading is what I actually wanna try more but I don't have the courage to do it all the time so because I'm too scared to lose quickly when the market goes in the opposite direction.


It's very popular, and often causes you to make the wrong decision during strong or weak markets. "Wrong decision" in terms of selling too early. During bull markets when the surge is strong, many "traders" who strictly follow Overbought/Oversold oscillators have the tendency to sell early because when RSI reaches 80, they sell. But the price continues surging more. It's probably also the same on the opposite direction when the price is crashing.

Roulette has a house edge from 2.70% to 5.26%. I believe 2.70% is OK, but you can find lower house edge in other games, and also be "entertained" too during the moment. My recommendation is Craps!

Yeah, Craps is the best gambling game for a low house edge percentage category since it only has 1.41% percentage while it pays more than x2 in every single bet. I wonder how craps is not yet popular despite its design is less risky and higher payout compared to typical games like dice, roulette and blackjack.

I’m playing craps for a long time with good profit until now because I can control my bets and limit to few numbers that I know that hot for that round. Betting on hardways gives a sweet profit too.


I have always recommended Craps because it's the best casino game FOR ME that has rules that encourage strategy, not like Sic Bo, which the results of winning or losing is based on luck. It's an absolute gambling game. BUT the best FOR ME might not be the best FOR YOU.

BlackJack, Coin_trader's favorite, is also a casino game that has rules that encourage strategy, but it's not for me. It gives me stress, and when I'm stressed, I do Martingale Betting Strategy and lose all of my balance. Hahahaha.

I believe, that because some users play with large amounts of money in online casinos, it would be for the best for all of those users to be warned that using VPNs "might put them in more problemetic situations" when asked for their documents/I.D. Anyone who probably has played in casinos regularly, OR has tried day trading in different centralized exchanges, has always experienced KYC. More than 90% of them probably has not alarmed the casinos/exchanges, but why do some of them make a brand new account, and complain more loudly than usual in the forum?
To avoid problematic situations, no gambler should try to use VPN if can access one casino normally and legitimately. VPN can bring problems to your account immediately or later, who knows what will happen later with your account?

The casino has all data of your account activities, log-in IP addresses, bet activities, bet pattern and a lot of things. If a gambler does know about VPN restrictions on many casinos, even if a casino is used by that gambler does not restrict VPN, honestly, that gambler should not try VPN.

Policies can be changed too and maybe when policies changed, that gambler is not aware about that which will cause problems.


I was given the same advice by one of the casino whales who talks/chats/helps plebs regularly in BlackJack.Fun's chatbox. But another the advice he gave me is, if anyone truly need to use a VPN, he/she should use a location where the casino is licensed. If the casino is licensed in Malta, use a Maltese I.P.

He didn't give a reason why, but he told me online casinos don't like VPNs in general, but it's "probably safer" if we use an I.P. of where they're licensed.


Don’t follow that advice bro because you are just compromising your account by violating the casino ToS since you are using VPN to dodge country restrictions for that certain game. As Oshondy said above, Your might be subjected to KYC or worst in case you win big and they found out that you are using VPN access restricted games in your country. Probably the whale that suggest you this method doesn’t experience inconvenience since he was a VIP but for pleb player that suddenly win huge amount will surely raise the casino alarm for security audit on your account.

Just leave the games that you can’t access using normal IP connection if you want safe gaming experience on any casino. I’m always tempted to play pragmatic games by using VPN since it was restricted in my country IP yet I’m still holding for the sake of my account safety.


I was not actually blocked by the game provider, which was Evolution, because I could still play First Person Craps, but in Live Craps, the live stream wouldn't play. If I use a VPN it would play. Although the issue was fixed maybe two weeks later when I complained about it directly in Evolution's support chatbox.

Plus I'm not worried about KYC. I'm a pleb-user that gambles with pleb-amount. The admins will probably pity me and say "Give him his satoshis". Hahaha.
1706  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what proof must one have to identify himself as Nakamoto Satoshi? on: December 23, 2022, 09:36:31 AM
We always wonder who the real master mind behind the name of Nakamoto Satoshi the creator of bitcoin is.But what exactly would make you believe or convince you that "this" person is Satoshi if he/she ever decided to reveal himself.
There might be infinite wannabes and glory hunters wanting to rise to fame ,given the real Satoshi is one among them how would you go on about finding the right person.

The only way Satoshi has to reveal his identity is through his technology itself. REMEMBER: NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COINS. Satoshi along with other early adopters is said to have millions of bitcoins stashed on specific wallets. So, if he signs a transaction from one of his addresses he proves he really is Satoshi Nakamoto. One of the genesis block that is said to be his, is this one: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa. You can read more about it here.

There are still flaws, I agree with the posts that proving ownership doesn't prove the identity.  One good example is cited by BlackHatCoiner and supported by Wind_FURY posts.  Besides, if you are the real satoshi, you don't have to prove you really are Satoshi the more effort you made to prove yourself the more harder it is for the hesitant to believe.  Being oneself comes naturally and people will see the proof by themselves.


It also gives an impossible situation for people like Craig Wright, but a very good one for Bitcoin. Because indeed if he does possess the keys, his claims to be the "Real Satoshi Nakamoto" would not be recognized by the community, the Core Developers, and anyone who isn't a Flat-Earther of Bitcoin. This holds true even if he WAS actually Satoshi, the inventor of Bitcoin. It is only right for Satoshi to be dead for the community.

1708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino games plebs like us must play on: December 22, 2022, 11:32:13 AM
I don't think there is even the slightest similar characteristic of gambling or trading.
Even though it is true, I admit that from gambling or trading, each has its own risks, whether big or small.
It's just that in gambling there are also actions to minimize the risk of losing money, for example in a roulette game a gambler can place a bet by risking 2 columns at once on a column that has a larger proportion for the ball stopping. With the same amount of bets, the win will be 3x of the number of bets and it can be concluded that you get a profit of 1 from the amount of capital used to bet
What's great about the Roulette game is that there are so many ways to place a bet. You already give one example. It minimizes our risk in exchange for a smaller reward. On some games like Keno and Plinko.

There is also an option to choose a risk. They are low medium and high. Low risks are great if our goal is to wager bigger and high risk are great if we want to earn a better profit.


Roulette has a house edge from 2.70% to 5.26%. I believe 2.70% is OK, but you can find lower house edge in other games, and also be "entertained" too during the moment. My recommendation is Craps!

Quote

My response on the argument above if which between gambling and trading can provide more entertainment, I think the obvious answer for this would be gambling because there are different games on them and then they have a catchy graphics and sound. Trading is solely built for someone who possibly wants to earn a profit because this is more of a strategy and skill based.


But skill and strategy-based casino games can be "entertaining" too. It's a the different kind of entertainment, but a kind of entertainment that can also win the user some money, and keep himself/herself longer than the person who plays the slot machine with minimum house edge of 5%.

Agree. But...

Where has Buffett and his 98-yr old friend been all these years if he didn't notice the dice rollers at Wall Street all his life?


Warren Buffett is probably just frustrated because his investments are losing him a large amount of his capital. He shouldn't blame the "gamblers". He should blame the cabal behind the Federal Reserve who BRRRRR-printed billions of Dollars that gave the people extra cash and caused those people to become gamblers.

Plus doesn't he practice "Value-Style Investing"? I believe he's supposed to like a recession because that's the right time to invest in truly valuable companies/ assets, and HODL.
1710  Economy / Gambling / Re: chinese bookmakers with tf gaming platform NO KYC on: December 22, 2022, 05:30:30 AM
usually gambling sites don't require KYC is a natural thing, but if it's the website you mentioned it seems like some people say this is a scam. I don't have a referral for it because I'm new to the casino, if you ever put money there you should leave it because it will be difficult to get money that has been cheated.

It is that a casino that does not ask for KYC cannot be considered a scam, that is something that can be left aside, there are some casinos and platforms that are very famous and have free KYC, and they are platforms that have good faucets, this It is what makes these platforms great, most of the casinos that are new have good things, but when they offer a lot of free things or too many things that are very good, people are always suspicious because it can turn out to be a trap, and that is very true because I have witnessed how a casino can sometimes deceive many players and they do not pay them or do anything like that to comply.

But now it seems that crypto casinos have started implementing KYC for their members, and although KYC is still randomly selecting their members, it might become more strict in the future. But if the casino doesn't ask for KYC, it's possible that it still allows its members to play without verifying their accounts. But someday, its members must be ready if asked to do KYC. And those of us who are used to looking up casinos from these forums will surely know which casinos implement KYC. New casinos may not implement KYC because they want to get attention from more gamblers, so they waive KYC. But one day, if the new casino becomes more popular, there is a possibility that it will implement KYC as well.


"MAY NOT" implement KYC. Does the casino say clearly that "THEY WON'T" implement KYC in their Terms of Service? That's perhaps why there are many users in the forum/community who are forced to make brand new accounts to keep their anonymity/privacy, and then make accusations about the casino not letting them withdraw because the casino actually starts implementing KYC.

maybe someone knows such bookmakers as https://www.zhb77.com/ or btc365.com (5 month ago) who have tf gaming or other chinese platform without KYC

would be very grateful if you could share these

and does this casino have an ANN thread here,


Plus does the casino have a campaign maintained by a reputable user, or simply validated as trustowrthy by many reputable users.
1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slow down if you want to recover your losses on: December 21, 2022, 11:18:08 AM
So, the OP's strategy is the opposite for martingale. Either way might turn out to be a good or bad strategy to recover losses and trying to turn the table around.


There's a higher probability that it will be a good strategy than bad in my opinion, because such a strategy encourages, and abides by the simple concept of Capital Preservation. We can't recover losses if we lost all of our capital, no? Cool

Quote

One of the most usual thing I know in terms of gambling is, it's really hard to recover your losses. It will probably going to take more money and guts to do it. I kinda admire how the OP was so patient with doing small bets trying to recover losses, I've done that before when I was regularly engaged into gambling, but most of the time, it doesn't work for me. I either lose patience or lose everything in the process lol.


It will be very hard to recover your losses if you play those casino games with high house edge, like slot machines. They're merely for entertainment, and winning in them is just a bonus. If you want some opportunity to recover losses, play low house edge games and games that offer you a chance to win through skill and strategy. BlackJack and Craps are these games.

A centralized entity claiming to "never" require KYC should be taken with doubt, cynicism, and distrust. Because in actuality, centralized entities/casinos, if they are legitimate, have already accepted the trade-offs that they do indeed should require KYC on their users to comply with anti-money laundering laws. No service can go around it, except if they build their casinos on top of the Bitcoin blockchain like DirectBet did.
Once, 7-8 years ago, no one needed any KYC, and all transactions in cryptocurrency on a deposit in a casino or from a casino account to a player’s wallet went through without problems. 
 
These were glorious times when no one asked you to take a picture of your face with a piece of paper with today's date or keep some kind of your document next to your face.  And take pictures like that too.  All this is actually just a damn theater of the absurd, invented by the banking lobby of American bankers.  Bankers who put the whole world on shitty loans and mortgages.  And now they are watching the owners of cryptocurrencies.  Of course, legislators require the introduction of KYC from large online casinos.  And they, of course, are law-abiding citizens and cannot refuse.  Even though these casinos are losing most of their customers - players who cannot or do not want to lose their anonymity.  And there can be many reasons to remain anonymous in gambling.  From problems in the family to problems at work.  And even with the tax authorities.  And by the way, players from a number of countries cannot play calmly when they are required to KYC. 

And you have to play in those casinos where KYC is not required.  And everyone is happy.  And the number of scams is not increasing

So deceit and blatant lies are all anti-money laundering.


Post a list that contains those casinos that, have a thread of their own in BitcoinTalk, that have the trust of the community, and that clearly indicates in their TOS that they won't ask for KYC.

I believe all of the most trusted casinos in the forum will ask many users for KYC after a period of time. It's merely a trade-off accepted because it's a requirment from the government.
1713  Economy / Economics / Re: Warren Buffett rips Wall Street for turning stock market into a gambling parlor on: December 21, 2022, 06:53:18 AM
OP, there's nothing new about it, and it has been like a gambling parlor since the beginning of the existence of markets. The Tulip Mania, the South Sea Bubble, the bull market during the 1920s, and all the other market manias/bubbles in history. Everyone bought something, and hoped to be rich and wealthy.

The long cryptocurrency super cycle ITSELF will have its own manias and its own depressions, its own peaks and valleys, and there's NOTHING that can change this fact.


Is it fair to say history in finance is cyclical in nature? The process begins with an emphasis on fairness, stability and sound money. We have seen this with bitcoin where its inception was dominated by idealism.


Speaking from what we have already been observing, it has been cyclical in nature. Smart money goes in, plebs follow. Smart money goes out, plebs panic. It starts again with smart money goes in again, and as in the past, plebs like us always follow.

Quote

As time passes, the emphasis on fairness, stability and sound money practices declines. The system becomes increasingly unstable as people devise increasingly risky and profitable ventures, which usually come at the expense of stability and balance. Until it finally results in a tremendous crash. While motives and reasons behind this process can vary between different eras. It could be fair to say some of the motives and trends remain the same over the course of history.

To some degree, we may also have observed this trend in bitcoin. As time passed bitcoin has increasingly become an instrument of speculation, which has caused its trading patterns to deviate from historical norms. The way bitcoin and crypto are handled and traded have drifted away from core fundamental founding principles. Which have resulted in reduced stability and reliability.


That can't be avoided. Everyone that came after Hal Finney and during that time of the first users of the Silk Road came because it made sense, AND because it's a good investment. I bought because of that reason first, I won't lie about it. BUT I have also understood its ethos, and its importance. I HODL, debate, and troll the trolls because of that reason.

Quote

Even though human history is dotted with thousands of years of inflation and failed monetary policy. We have yet to learn from our mistakes sufficiently enough to sustain long term preventionary measures. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," is the ideal we should embrace. But it seems there are simply never enough who recognize dangers of repeating failed monetary policy, for these types of disasters to be prevented.


We simply can't change human nature, but humans can invent a back up, or a fall-back in case of a Modern Monetary Failure. If only there was a decentralized currency invented. Cool

doubling my bet everytime it's a loss then seeing it become another loss, then another and another and another!

Well said. Plus, by doubling, each new loss is way bigger, in a (desperate) attempt to recover all the previous (and ever increasing) loses.
Indeed, the sure path of getting very fast to zero.


It's actually not considered desparate. It's simply the process in which the Martingale System follows, probably because "reasons". Mathematically considerations, it should be laughable. We plebs must truly understand that the house edge makes it sure that everyone will be long term losers. Psychological considerations, plebs should avoid it or go home without your salary.

OP, gave the best advice. SLOW DOWN. Go back to the casino when you are happier, calmer, luckier.
1715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slow down if you want to recover your losses on: December 20, 2022, 11:08:59 AM
Slowing down works for me this time because my usual approach on this is to martingale

OMG, LOL!
Well, anything else is better than Martingale Cheesy Cheesy
In this case, slowing down was already a huge step forward.
Right I also find it more aggressive betting through Martingale strategy as you have more chance of losing through it and can also go beyond your budget but don't know it somehow works for some players and they recommend it but for me it's not good so avoid it according to me as well.


Martigale is good, but probably just in theory. In practice, with the house edge ensuring that all gamblers will become losers, I believe Martingale makes larger and faster the possibility of going to ZERO. Plus it's not very good for your sanity. I would choose to buy Bitcoin at ATH, and HODL through with a -70% loss during the bear market over doubling my bet everytime it's a loss then seeing it become another loss, then another and another and another!

People should start to boycot CEXs.

Aren't a lot of Bitcoiners advocating for this for years and years already? Unfortunately, the fact is, people will continue to use CEXs as long as they remain a lot more convenient than using peer-to-peer no-KYC exchanges. It'll always be difficult to change people's minds through ideology — it'll need to be through better UX.


I believe "boycott" is too much of a demand. Centralized exchanges bring more efficiency to the market, and therefore a faster price discovery for Bitcoin. It's simply the truth. BUT we should not move far away from the path of encouraging the use of decentralized networks like BISQ, and asking for the return of face-to-face in LocalBitcoin-like services, or encourage it to be used more in BISQ. I believe we should develop standard safety guidelines for face-to-face trading.
1718  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: December 19, 2022, 12:50:02 PM
~
Lightning Network statistics are very hard to measure, due to the nature of this network. No one node can easily see all other nodes.
The https://1ml.com/ service reports no anomalies in network capacity. It should be roughly around 5,000 BTC as of now, increasing by 1.38% in the past 30 days.

https://amboss.space/ also reports 5,280 BTC of capacity.

Most likely, the service you mentioned closed some channels and lost connection to parts of the network.



Lightning Network has no analogies to a shitcoin; compared to those, even if Lightning demand were to suddenly fall, node operators would have no incentive to hurry up closing their channel. They can do that at any time and 'unlock' on-chain balance again, which is obviously unaffected by a drop in Lightning demand - if we assume BTC on-chain demand (and thus price) is unaffected.
Meanwhile if a shitcoin starts crashing, you have to sell fast too, to minimize losses, further accelerating the downfall.

LN node operators who run nodes for a profit (those that open many channels with the goal of making coin from tx fees) effectively are forced to keep their coin on a hot wallet, which has its own costs in the form of risk. If these entities are not making enough coin to justify this risk, they can move their coin to cold storage which would require them to close their channels


OR they can invest their capital, the Bitcoins, into something more profitable/something that gives more returns on investment. It's called "Opportunity Cost". I posted some "shower-thoughts" about it in this topic, but I believe no one was ready to accept that the concept could probably become true, or that it was already true. Perhaps in five more years, everyone will see the point with more clarity.

What about if BlackJack.Fun assigned another slot machine for free spins accumulated from voting and the chatbox?

Master Joker for free spins accumulated from voting and chatbox, with wins go to the bonus wallet.

Dig Dig Digger for free spins accumulated from actual play/gambling, wins go to the balance.

This is a good suggestion to be honest so that rewards will be separated automatically but I doubt that this will take effect any time soon since they are prioritizing the website upgrade over the bonus restructure. I’m more excited on the upcoming VIP reward content hoping those 1mbtc weekly will came back again with just a minimal wager requirements per week.


It's OK, we can wait. Cool

But if BlackJack.Fun also truly found the suggestion good, I believe they could implement it within a few days, like when they implemented the change of the slot machine to Master Joker for the free spins. Although they had to return to Diggy because many users were blocked by Master Joker.

This is the most awesome that attracts me to become addicted on this casino. I sometimes loss more than the potential 1mbtc reward just to claim it so I would say that this kind of reward system for VIP is still effective and fair for both players and the operators.

Are you still active betting in there?


I'm not as active as before the implementation of the bonus wallet. That's when I truly accepted, and admitted you were right. Hahaha.
