1281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 25, 2023, 06:33:23 AM
There are many gamblers in gambling who lose their money even after winning big. Many of them do not know when they should stop. If a gambler can take a break whenever he wants, he will suffer relatively less in gambling. Moreover, every gambler should have limitations in gambling. In order to be protected from excessive loss, there must be a break from trying to recover the loss otherwise the amount of loss will be increased.
I agree! It's essential to take time to chill and take a break from gambling. If you continue gambling excessively you're bound to end up losing. So, I believe taking breaks from time to time will help you limit the amount of money you spend on gambling and also prevent falling into depression if you've lost a significant amount of money and are trying to recover from it.
Breaks are essential and should be taken, and it is doable when you are a regular gambler, but when it comes to addicted gamblers, they simply can't do this because when they are gambling, they get so lost in it that they are not aware of what's happening around them, they stop caring about their health, about the money they are losing, about the time they are spending on it, but they just keep gambling as long as they have money left and once it is over, they start becoming even more restless.

And believe me, a restless gambler can be dangerous for their family and people that live around them because they can do almost anything to get some money so that they can continue gambling because they are highly addicted to it and they just can't resist the urge even if they want to.

It would be a great deal for PSG, think about it, get rid of Mbappe who has been causing drama for the club and get Osimhen to play for many years there. It would be helpful for them because they really lack a proper striker and that would make sure that they have that striker.

Luiz Enrique is building a team that can test itself against the biggest ones over course of time, and in order to do that they need to see this Mbappe issue solved and some other good player play there instead. Osimhen playing there would solve all this problem, give him like 5 year contract too in order to make sure you are going to do fine and not lose them and do not put any release clause neither, if you must then put it at 200+ million at least.
1283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deposit limits on: July 24, 2023, 04:00:39 PM
I'm pretty much surprised that the casino has written that one should never decide to increase their limit only because they've lost money and want to recover it by gambling more, because when that happens, the casino earns more money, but if they are warning their players about this, it means they want them to be responsible gamblers which is exactly why they have provided a tool like this so that people can limit their gambling activities.

But still, as you said, one cannot be stopped this way if they allow increasing and decreasing the amount with only an interval of 24 hours if they really want the players to be responsible gamblers and don't be able to deposit more than once they've lost the amount they've set, they shouldn't allow them to change the numbers at least more than once a month if you set it to $100, you can't change it back until after one month.

Games that previously did not use money can eventually use the money if the people who play them feel pleasure while playing. This has often happened because they didn't want to play gambling and just played normally. But after tasting the game and wanting to get some more fun, they decide to use the money between them. The winner will get the money, while the loser has to acknowledge the winner's ability. This we often experience with our friends when we play PlayStation or something else. And if it's like that, isn't that gambling? And on that site, previously, we only guessed who won, but later there will be bets, and maybe the site will also create its own token.
Of course it is. If you put your money at stake, be it betting on the weather tomorrow or on your coworker showing up on time the next day, it's all gambling, although you could do same "bets" before without staking any money and it wasn't gambling then.

But please notice that we would never have thought of calling it gambling when no money was involved. That's why I think that the games that potentially can be played for money shouldn't be called "gambling" while there's no money yet.
Some people simply don't understand the fact that the games that are generally used for gambling can also be used just for playing without gambling on them, and games or events that are not usually used for gambling can be used for gambling if there is money or valuables at stake because a group of friends might play a game using a deck of cards without betting anything and that wouldn't be considered gambling but someone might bet on the outcome of a general event happening in the future and that will be considered gambling.

It is a very simple thing, gambling is when you have something up at stake, and when you lose, you lose the money, but when you are playing a game where you don't have anything up at stake and you don't lose anything, you cannot consider that to be gambling even if you can win something.
1285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 24, 2023, 07:00:59 AM
First of all, you need to choose a platform that you know is trusted among the community and is never going to scam you out of your money even if you manage to win a certain amount whether it's small or large, and after that, you definitely need to do your research and analyze the results properly before you go ahead and place your bets because if you are betting on multiple games in one bet, one lost match can result in you losing all your bet and everything goes in vein.

And it is definitely true that greed can make you lose even if you are winning, if we talk about gambling games like slots or dice or any other game, whenever you are winning and have got something above your deposit, you start thinking that you can win even more and then you lose everything back.
1286  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in is no longer a KYC free casino! (New terms) on: July 24, 2023, 05:12:30 AM
I never waited for this to happen in any time soon with freebitco.in which was the greatest free KYC, simple casino and one of the best first bitcoin faucets i knew and still using. I still can’t find any casino that doesn’t require verification and ask for personal information except them or was before this new terms release.
Is there any chance that someone else bought Freebitco.in and trying to apply some changes or upgrade the games inside and that’s why they started with the new terms now? Or it’s just the authorities that are forcing the owner to apply such rules to take down everything that’s decentralized.
It's probably the regulatory fire that is catching them up as well, I don't think that a person will sell a website that is earning so much money and its user base is increasing day by day, now after the new rules of KYC and etc., the new user sign ups per day might start decreasing because most people used to think they won't need to pass KYC in here and that is why they were joining and using the platform but now that is not true anymore.

The website has probably been noticed by the authorities and they have asked the management to either have a license and comply with the rules and regulations or simply shut down your services, and the first option is obviously what they would choose because they can't just shut it down.
1287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SCAM or not ? on: July 24, 2023, 03:51:52 AM
Well, you've been officially scammed by the person who suggested you to invest in a crypto trading platform that doesn't even exist in reality, and you, even knowing that the platform doesn't exist or you've never heard of it, agreed to do what he said and invested your money, and, you've also increased the volume of your investment, and now you are here asking the public whether the 10% fee they are asking for is them scamming you or not.

This is why you first need to learn about an industry before you get involved financially, if you had studied the industry and had some knowledge and experience, you wouldn't have to face this because you would never believe some stranger suggesting you to make investments on a certain platform of their choice.
1288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 23, 2023, 06:21:09 PM
Actually, the figure of Lautaro Martinez is indeed a player who can develop better if he has the opportunity to play at another club in a bigger league such as the Premier League. But for now Inter milan certainly won't let one of their mainstay strikers go. Because currently Inter Milan is in the middle of a striker crisis. Even to prevent Lautaro Martinez from going to another club, it is reported that Inter Milan has set Lautaro Martinez's transfer price to be very high. I think the method used by Inter Milan is similar to that used by Napoli in keeping Osimhen on the transfer market.

Currently, it is reported that Inter Milan has set a price of around 150 million Euros for price of their flagship striker. However, it is reported that currently there are clubs from the Arab League who are interested in signing Lautaro Martinez. But fortunately Lautaro Martinez rejected the offer from the Arab club. Even though the salary offered by the Arab club is very high. But Lautaro Martinez decided to stay at Inter Milan. Of course, Inter Milan must thank Lautaro Martinez for deciding to remain loyal to the club.
I feel like if he does leave, it would not be for cheap and if they can sell him for a lot of money then they could end up with a good amount of money that can be used to get more players. Inter is not doing well financially even after a UCL finals and not buying players that would be great, they haven't spent all that much money even though they have earned so much money.

This is why I believe that the best thing to do for them would be selling Martinez and then using that money to get new players. Better yet, they should be using all the money they have made from UCL into the team already and not doing that right now, I feel like they should and that could be the most important thing that would be very good in the end.

Like some others previous posters here i was also hoping for free spins code drop on telegram on friday but it didn't happen for some reason this week.  Huh

Maybe its because a better giveaway will take its place? haha one can dream

Also they seem to  have closed off comments on their channel (earlier we could comment on their  posts and start a thread)
They launch their telegram bot @Bitcasino_io_Bot instead of free spin code that offers a massive rewards for first 100 users that will sign up using the link provided by the bitcasino bot. It consists of day wuest which newly registered user can earn 5000 USDT in total.

They are already providing a lot of free spin worth of 20USD before. I think we are already blessed to claim multiple times of free spin without any wagering requirements to claim the rewards.
Yeah the bot I saw that as well but like the other poster/s, I still prefer the free spins code. I think it's straight two Fridays already where they didn't drop a code. I also want to know the reason for it? But if I can guess, maybe it's too heavy for them to give such free money because I can see that so many peeps are lucky to score a big win out of those.

Oh well, I might be wrong with this so I'm still hoping that they will bring back the generous promotion. It was effective actually to gather a user. I'm not a player of this casino before but ever since I heard this free spins thingy, I then signed up and played a couple of times using my own money.
1290  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will you sell...next bull run? on: July 22, 2023, 05:20:30 PM
Indeed, I have a plan to sell my bitcoin when Bullrun or more precisely I will sell Bitcoin when touching a new ATH with numbers above $ 70k, I have plans in sales, I will definitely sell Bitcoin at that time even though not the highest ATH in the cycle.

Then I will take some advantages and wait for the bearish season again to start collecting bitcoin, so that my bitcoin supplies are even more in the next cycle, this is quite terrible, but I really believe in Bitcoin in the future.
Why is that terrible? It's a good strategy and I suggest you stick to it, it's much better to sell when high and buy when low so that you can keep increasing the quantity of your assets instead of holding the same amount only for the hope of a better price and wasting a complete bear market. Keeping a target in mind for selling is a good thing and as you said, one should even sell them if the market doesn't reach their target and starts dropping again.

I would definitely do the same thing if I was in your place. I don't like holding for too long, getting greedy when the price is already high but thinking it might go higher will only cause you losses in profits that you will get, you could maybe get $70k but if you hold and it drops below, you will then get only $65k, and that's not a good deal.
1291  Economy / Economics / Re: Can CBDC users lose control of their money? on: July 22, 2023, 12:22:51 PM
A bad thing doesn't become good if someone covers it with goods and stuff that makes it look good, that is simply just a presentation and the thing being presented might not be what it is being presented as. Similarly, no matter how much they say it is for the benefit of people, they might create articles, and diagrams, try and explain everything to people trying to convince them that it is just like cryptocurrencies and they should use it, that wouldn't change anything.

A CBDC is nothing more than a digital fiat, it is not decentralized, and it doesn't work independently without anyone having any access to the transactions and balances and everything of everyone utilizing it. So, don't just listen to what says, simply understand that a CBDC is only to control the finances of people even more than before.
1292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is Gamble gain more fans than Bitcoin? on: July 22, 2023, 08:53:10 AM
Someone also mentioned the similarity with investing with stocks or gold and I agree with that. This may be also due to the lack of financial literacy. I mean how many people had been thought about this in school? There are some for sure but they are probably a small minority. You can learn gambling literally from everywhere starting from your house to school so it's not surprising that there are more people who knew how to gamble than to invest.
I think that is because both of them has a risk but the risk in pure gambling is big than in stocks and gold. Even the risk of stocks and gold is also much lesser compared to Bitcoin because there are less volatile and are already legally accepted for more many years worldwide.

In school, we have economics subject so investments are being tackled there sometimes but I don't think gambling are being taught in school as gambling have gained a bad reputation due to what it can cause to a person if they are a little weak mentally and emotionally. Investing is not hard but it's kind a boring so people usually go for gambling. Gambling is still a separate activity so both should not be compared to each other.

It is nice hearing that the roulette casino is being bankrolled and fully operational but you can as well map out a little budget for advertisement purpose so that you do not have issues in the future just as it happened that you were about putting it up for auctioning. Advertisement plays a big role in publicity and awareness. If a project sees importance in advert and promoting their product, then they should also consider doing advertisement to reach out to a wider community. I believe advertisement is just the issue roulette is facing currently so it would be in the best interest of the casino to tow that path of promoting their product here for a bigger  and wider audience to key into.
So, that means it is already handed out to its new owner? That's cool but they should change the title of this thread now or better create a brand new announcement thread and state all the new things that have changed. Advertisement is important and might be needed again to let others know that they are back again on track.

It can be expensive but it is worth it as long as we are confident that the service that we can deliver to the public is superb. Issues on the other hand might occur again sooner or later but that was fine as there is no perfect casino without flaws and if we can see, almost all casinos do always run a maintenance from time to time.
1294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kuwait Bans Bitcoin and crypto payments, investement and mining on: July 21, 2023, 03:59:40 PM
Well, that's one of the richest countries in the Middle East, and now they are out of the Bitcoin race which might not be that big of a problem for now but it will surely slow down the adoption process as a country with a lot of money and resources is not allowing their citizens to invest in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, which is bad for the industry as there could a lot of money flowing if Kuwait had allowed their citizens to take part in the revolution.

However, Bitcoin still has a long way to go and I'm pretty sure that once the majority of countries make it legal and allow their people to invest in it, the countries which are now banning it will cancel or change their decisions and will lift the bans and restrictions on their citizens for using Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.
1295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can I save my brother by investing in btc now? on: July 21, 2023, 02:38:16 PM
I'm really sorry to hear about that, but your investment of $3,000 in Bitcoin can earn you $75,000 only if the price of Bitcoin magically goes up 25 folds in the upcoming bull run, we can't say that it's impossible but it does seem not possible to the eye or with technical analysis and stuff, but since it is not easily achievable and there is no guarantee of that happening, you shouldn't rely on this source for earning enough money to treat your brother and save his life.

As suggested by others as well, the only way you can get that much money is either by raising funds or taking a loan, and for raising funds, you will need to represent the case with transparency so that those who donate know what exactly is the problem and that it isn't a lie, and for a loan you will need some heavy collateral.

Apart from financial reasons that move isn't bad what Barcelona expects in players 34 and 45 years old they will not be able to compete with young players especially for European competition letting them go was the right move obviously will reduce the burden on the club. This season should be the right time for Barca to gather a new generation of young players unfortunately financial problems hindered them , we don't know when this situation will end.
Financial problems still persist. They sent Lionel Messi out of the team in his most productive period due to lack of money. They wanted to buy him again this year, but I think they were struggling again economically. In return, we now see that Saudi Arabian teams are literally throwing money.
Debit is at his best with touching figure of £1.3Billion, and they are now selling their shares in subsidiaries as well which are no good sign and releasing high salary players are also in their agenda because this can also bring some change in their finances even through many are feeling Messi deserve another chance, but they now take this risk because with these things can go out of the control in both ways like finances and players moral can also go down which is not good because Xavi is doing good job and now their new generation players are also having good winning chemistry which can help them for winning trophies in near future as well.

Saudi League having their own agenda which is related to change the face of Kingdom and also having some positive impact for their world cup campaign, even most chances they will be not going to have any positive for this campaign.

The OP was active on 17th July and. The site was offline too... Let's see what's happening.
Site is down without prior notice, looks not really good situation. If I have to think positively, maybe the site is down because they are upgrading it since they said that wanted to add games from 3rd party providers. However, it does not make the situation better especially due the fact that the OP keep on silence although you have a complain about small withdrawal. In the worst case, they have decided to shut the site down and go away for few bucks.
I know the feels. It seems unprofessional especially if you are an active player of the site but it really happens to some sites even on to the top-rated ones but rest assured there is only a maintenance that is going on and they are only doing their best to give their players a great service.

It would be awful if they ran away with a small buck lol but if the complaints are already stacked against them then maybe they have a better reason of doing it. But if their intention is great, they will still fix all of those mess. Money can be found easily but not the reputation that is already built most especially here in the gambling industry where the competition is high.
1298  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 - Main sponsor of Southampton FC 👋👋 on: July 20, 2023, 11:23:52 AM
To have a front shirt sponsorship is not really a must, plus it is not a must to have it with a premier league club neither. I get it, it is one of the most watched leagues in the world, probably the most watched one. But that also means it is also one of the most expensive one as well and if you could just focus on getting like something else, then it might work and it could do better as well.

For example, get like some French and Italian teams, not the biggest names, but a bit like mid table, or even lower level, that would make it so that they are at least in two big leagues all together, and combined view counts may pass, maybe even go as far as a German one for third if any money is left over, that could make it better.
You are contradicting yourself, being a front short sponsor in the premier league is massively interesting for all casinos given the very high exposure you get from it. Sorry to hear that Arsenal and you guys went in a different way but it gives also new opportunities. It would be great  if you could partner with an even bigger team than Arsenal such as Chelsea or Liverpool or even Man United.
I am not denying that being a front shirt sponsor in premier league is not better than the others, I agree it's better than the other if we are talking about 1v1 comparison, but when we are talking about 1v3, that starts to feel like maybe not? Because Arsenal deal failed, and because I do not see too many teams that are available at the moment, I feel like maybe we can do like Italian, German, French teams all together, that way there could be three teams that we could sponsor.

I feel like conference league level teams would be the highest we could probably achieve, but if you compare the cost of having "gambling partner" cost of Arsenal and have front of jersey cost of three conference league level teams in those other three leagues, I bet it's close.
1299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: July 20, 2023, 03:06:15 AM
When you like playing gambling games, you mostly make the mistake of not stopping when you have won something significant only out of greed because you expect to win even more and think that you can double the amount or at least win something more but it barely happens and you lose whatever you've managed to win and on top of that, you lose half or the full amount that you have deposited, after that, you start regretting but to no avail.

We also make a lot of mistakes in sports betting, especially when we ignore the advice of those people who have very strong and mostly accurate gut feelings. My wife is one of those people who can feel things before they happen, once there was a match where the odds were totally against a team because it was the lowest team in the tournament, I was betting on the better side but she told me to bet on the weaker side as that will win, I didn't listen to her, and surprisingly, they defeated the favorites by a big margin, and you won't believe, the odds had a 8x or 10x difference.

I don't think BTC will drop below $30k this time. I mean, you should make your own decision, I'm just sharing my opinion. I'm buying it now to be prepared for the pump.
This is why he is here with us, with this post/thread because he can't decide for himself so he wants our opinion instead if what actions he must be doing. For now maybe BTC won't drop below $30k but later on, I still believe it can, so I suggest the OP to wait for it if he wants some discounts. The halving time or the bull time is still a long way to go so I'm confident about my prediction.

For those who will buy early like you, you can still hold hard if the price declines so that you will avoid losing and maybe on top of that you can continue buying for more. It is only wrong to buy when the price is at their highest peak already because after that is usually followed by a bear market and it will take a long time for us to see recovery or a bull run again.
