1601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: May 11, 2023, 09:24:34 AM
What middle class? There is no middle class left. Not in the US, not in the rest of the world. Actually there are only 2 types of players in gambling. 1) The rich, 2) The poor. There isn't anything between. The big casinos want to attract the rich people and the others are getting the poor. Poor people are also the perfect addicts because they don't have anything to lose other than what they got as a paycheck that month and every new month is a chance to get rich. So they will be playing forever till they die and 99.99% of them die poor.
You are right that the middle class is disappearing at an alarming rate, however they are maintaining the illusion they still exist by getting debt and making expensive travels to places like Las Vegas and putting it on their credit cards, however my point is that even that is about to disappear and when that happens all of those casinos aiming to get those type of clients will simply disappear too as there will not be enough people to sustain them.
I don't understand why a casino would aim to get customers or gamblers from a certain class and why won't they aim to get gamblers from every class. A small casino would also want to have rich gamblers use their platform and getting them would obviously be their first priority since that brings in more profits and more opportunities for them to grow.

So what casinos basically want is people that have money with them, whether they are rich or poor or from the middle class, they don't care. All they need is someone sitting on a table or in front of a pc or having a smartphone, placing bets on one of the games, because that is what keeps their business running.

This is why it's important to have more than one asset all the time. Those who have funds in their casino accounts and those who have other cryptocurrencies apart from Bitcoin are not going to face any issues in such a situation. You could easily deposit a different asset to your gambling account and played with that.

I personally don't gamble much, so I can definitely wait for all this to become normal before I gamble if I ever wanted to. Others will obviously use the method that I mentioned above, using different cryptocurrencies for their gambling deposits and withdrawals.
Not everyone is a fan of using other crypto but the truth is that your advice is simply the best but its rather limited as some gambling platform are strictly based on bitcoin as a deposit coin and if you are one of those using these casino it will definitely affect you when trying to deposit. But aside from that making deposit with other crypto to your gambling casino is probably an effective measure towards tackling this high price hike.
Well, there can be a few platforms that only allow Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals, but I think most of the platforms these days allow depositing and withdrawing multiple cryptocurrencies and fiats too, so someone can even buy credits to gamble with a credit or debit card if they are not having any other cryptocurrency at the moment.

And if someone uses a platform that only allows Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals and they don't want to use any other platform, they should simply wait for the fees to get normal then as that seems to be the only viable solution unless they want to spend a lot of money on fees.
1603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you prefer Original Slots or slots from 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 11, 2023, 06:31:41 AM
It's good to play both slots categories to try new games and what the house has to offer originally, but in my opinion the most popular ones are from the third party providers, without any doubts, because those games are more sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. It's not a secret titles like Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza are very popular on the internet when we talk about slots-machines.

Original games tend to be more popular among dice, crash and mines fans.
Well, not a lot of casinos have their own original slots or games, most of them just provide slots from third-party providers and other games that are simply redesigned and only the UIs are unique and the games are actually the same, like Dice, Mines, Crash, etc. I barely find casinos that have original games, especially slots.

And as you said, third-party slots are pretty fun and some of them are already too popular that most gamblers like playing them no matter what platform they are using to play those games. People also see the max wins in slots and some of those games have very high multipliers.

Hope BJF really gets things going quickly with all these verification and withdrawal... best way to make your casino popular, and also however fastest way to ruin reputation Wink Good to see everything resolved.

Back to my ongoing wagering, decided to take a break after finally getting a losing streak lol Bonus of $130 was SO tempting to complete but I just left it after 30% wager requirement.

So I log into my account today thinking finally, I can see the bonus amount down... and now I have a new $250 bonus waiting from yesterday's 2nd place in weekly wager contest lol (BTW it would be nice OP to actually name the bonus we get, so we don't have to figure out).

Who else is having fun?
I think it is definitely a tricky situation but they have been around here for a long time and I trust them as much as I trust myself so I am sure that not only they will solve all the issues but they will definitely fix everything and earn everyone's love back. There is no lost of trust, but there could be some people who lost some love towards it, that's the biggest issue, no trust or anything because they are trustworthy without a doubt.

I believe that we should not be doing the same thing and just attacking them, they are doing everything on their power to stop this and go back on the right track. I hope that it goes on the right way and we know that they are as legit as any casino in the world and will do better without a doubt.
1605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you favor betting on spesific sport? on: May 10, 2023, 07:06:19 PM
One of the main attractions of sports betting is that with the right knowledge about a particular sport and the odds you could at least decrease the house edge the casino has over you, but that possibly disappears as soon as you decide to make a bet on a sport you know nothing about.

And while there is nothing inherently wrong with such a decision, as each person can decide in which way they may like to use their money, at the same time anyone doing this may as well just play a different gambling game, as they are refusing to take advantage of the knowledge they have accumulated as fans over the years.
Well, there is basically no house edge in sports betting but it's your own choices that make you win or lose, the house has zero influence on the results of a sports game. It depends on how much research you can do and how you analyse both sides and choose the best one, if your guess or prediction turns out to be right, that's great, if not, the house wins.

It's definitely better to play a gambling game than betting on a team or a sport that you have no knowledge about, it's just placing a bet on a Hi-Lo game with a 2x multiplier where there are 50-50 chances of you either winning or losing the bet.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 10, 2023, 12:16:03 PM
If the person is not willing to admit that there's already a problem with how they manage their gambling activities, expect that there
are worse things to happen, that person needs more attentions to make them realize.

I'm following your point in which the problem will continue and it goes deeper if the person will not address the issue much sooner.

Trying to keep in touch and always reminds the person may give them some hint that their addiction is no longer controllable
and there's already a need to seek for professionals.
That's right, such people should always have someone by their side who can divert their mind whenever they want to gamble and that one person can be a best friend, a spouse, a sibling, or even a parent. The person who is addicted will surely not be able to control the urge themselves but if there is someone available with them to accompany them, that might change their mind.

You can't take an addict out of their addiction simply by saying that they shouldn't do what they are addicted to, but you will need to find ways that can divert their mind and engages them in something else and that might help them gain some control.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 10, 2023, 08:49:00 AM
Out of the three, i'd say cashback would be the best option assuming all of them would be credited in the same amount because the other two would require you to wager them at least once and that would reduce the reward you'll get and it's very rare to win something big with free spins. The free bet would be a good alternative but it'll mainly depend on the amount because it's not that easy to win with odds above 2.00 and with cashback you can easily skip the wagering requirements.

Aside from the three, i'd support yahoo's suggestion on the wager based bonuses, as I also think it's one of the best bonuses available on most of the top casinos and sportsbooks. It's a grindy experience due to the specified wagering requirement but they're good for every type of gambler.
Rewards? Bonuses? Oh, my! It's like a treasure hunt, but with perks! Some are like golden statues, others like rusty coins, right?

Cashback? Sign me up! It's like earning while playing – incredible! Free spins? Life's like a slot machine – unpredictable outcomes. Welcome bonuses? Sweet, but with those wagering requirements, it's like cracking a secret code.

To each their own, am I right? Maybe free spins or welcome bonuses make your heart race. And who am I to judge your taste in excitement?
A welcoming deposit bonus is necessary for almost all casinos to have, it's like a tradition for casinos to welcome their newly registered users with a bonus if they make a deposit, and that bonus should be pretty high since it's the very first deposit which will make the gambler decide if they want to keep gambling with the casino or it's the first and last time.

I believe a cashback bonus is much better than free spins since you can still do spins with the cashback if you wish and you can also play other games than slots if you get a cashback while with spins you will only be limited to slots which some members might not like.
1608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: May 10, 2023, 06:00:15 AM
the problem is, so many people tend to overlook reading the terms of conditions on sites that's why people get stucked on the site not knowing what to do. also the thing that worries me the most is that, you need some good recommendations from someone who is a trusyworthy user on that site since some reviews can be fake too. i have tried various gambling platforms out of curiosity and most sites i visited have different rules in which they focus on their specialty offered on their house and being not able to withdraw to a ceratin threshold is pretty common on those sites like dice, slots and those fast money-making games.
I don't think there can be a bigger mistake than a gambler using a martingale strategy in a game where the chances for the house to win are way more than themselves, but not reading the terms and conditions is an even bigger mistake than one should never make. It only takes up a few minutes of your time and can save you a lot of time and money.

Most people try new platforms with the hope of getting some bonus with their deposit and then maybe gambling their way to the top and withdrawing some, which barely happens due to the wagering requirements of the platforms.
1609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's on! 2024 US Presidential Election Biden+Harris Vs Trump Bitcoin betting.... on: May 09, 2023, 07:08:02 PM
~ Also, Nikki Haley seems to continue pushing the narrative that Biden is too old and he is supposed to get his cognitive skill tested, while she does not stand a chance.  Roll Eyes
Yes, she doesn't. Desantis, maybe, but not Nikki Haley. I think no one is buying her "Biden is likely to die within five years" narrative. Biden is 80 years old, and look how many people of this age are living today:



More than 147 million! And not all of them have access to the high-level medical care as Biden has. Far from it. Why should he die then? As of her chances to be the next president, I think Tucker Carlson has more chances than she, but, of course, I wouldn't bet on him either.
It is a bit more about which party you want at the top more than just Biden as well. Most likely Biden will run with Kamala Harris as his running mate yet again, and that means if you vote for Biden, even if he dies, Kamala will take over, and even if you do not personally like Kamala, she is still a democrat and if you dislike Trump then you would rather have Biden dying at the office and Kamala becoming the president.

This is why people vote for Biden, not because they are 100% sure that he will live, maybe he will, maybe he won't, hell he may lose his cognitive skills as well, none of that matters, 90%+ of the people vote for Biden because they do not want Trump to win, that is the only reason and that's more than enough to vote for Biden as well.
1610  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can we trust 3rd party Slot providers? on: May 09, 2023, 04:51:55 PM
3rd party slot providers can be trusted if they are reputable but when we evaluate the best online casinos, we follow an internal site so that we maintain a good level of quality in our work and we believe that the casinos will be good. Even if the casino itself is fair they should take steps to increase security such as having site encryption that makes it difficult for third parties to access protected personal data and information. Slot providers must become trustworthy.
Not just to follow but we must also sign up and play their games and other features to have a better conclusion if the gambling site is really trusted or not. This is the one that we must do, not that we will entirely depend on the gambling review site because many of them are not telling the truth. They can say that the site is scam but the truth is it was legit and they can say that the site is legit but the truth is it wasn't.

Fair gambling site gets a nice a traffic so they will also do their best to improve their site including their security. This is the most important here because once the site got hacked, the customer will panic and will hardly trust the casino anymore.
1611  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: May 09, 2023, 03:38:04 PM
The idea originally way back in 2014 or similar times was BTC is not money so hey its not really gambling exactly only the national currency can surely be declared as proper currency so whats your problem.  Now somehow this virtual thingy nobody knew what it was is a thing governments want to regulate and ultimately tax etc. so apparently the answer is anything at all counts as money, furry toys can be tradable commodities I guess so you can gamble those too and anything at all.
  Everything is currency possibly and so anything can be a gamble is somehow true.  I always say to gamble is a human nature everyday thing, risk cannot be eliminated we all gamble in many things we do as nothing in life is for certain.
I don't see how that is relevant, Bitcoin has always had a value since it was launched, so even if it was recognized, popular, and as valuable as today or not, it was still something valuable, and if you are putting something up at stake that has a value, no matter how big or small, you are basically gambling because you can lose that thing.

But, when it comes to playing a game, even if it involves predictions or anything, you are not putting anything up at stake that you may lose but you can win something if you win, how is that gambling? It is not.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: May 09, 2023, 01:14:08 PM
Maybe what is meant is when they won $ 100 and lost $ 1000 yesterday for them it was a consistent win, it is true that you say no one can really get a net profit of $ 100 from gambling even though there is not routine, maybe occasionally because not always playing gambling every day wins because there are times when you experience defeat like playing in a casino.

I don't make a living in gambling so I think it's hard to earn money from gambling because I've tried various ways to get consistent profits it's hard to do we're only humans who are greedy so don't avoid it because you can never get away from it so I think it is impossible to get a consistent profit of $ 100, what you say is true gambling is not a place to make a living
Gambling is purely based on luck, and one cannot be lucky every day or every time. If you are lucky, you can win $1000 every day without any problems, but when you are not lucky, you will lose more than that without winning a penny because you are not destined to win that day or time, that is how gambling basically works.

$100 is a very big amount in some parts of the world, and it is obviously not a joke to get $100 per day with only a bankroll of $2k which can be lost within an hour or so if you are trying not to lose anything.
1613  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why Opening an Account in a Bitcoin Sportsbook is the Future of Sports Betting on: May 09, 2023, 06:53:04 AM
I also have only visited a land based casino only once in my lifetime, I've never again since my first visit, all my gambling and betting activities have been online.
Here In my country, precisely the area where I live here, there probably are no land based casinos, but there are sports betting shops scattered every where, and I still see many people trooping in and out of the shops, and this is because, we have local online sports betting here which also have affiliation with several shop owners, who easily convert their shops to sports betting portal for those who don't own a smart phone to access the betting website.

I think local sports betting is barely available online in most regions, it's good if there is a website for local games where people can place their bets without having to go somewhere for doing that but as you said, not everyone can have access to it and even they can through someone else, a lot of people just like the traditional ways of doing it.

Offline sports betting has obviously lost its essence, especially when it comes to international games. People obviously would prefer more convenient way for doing that. Online platforms also let you bet on games without even letting anyone know at all.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Back and Lay in sportbook on: May 09, 2023, 05:20:05 AM
I'm not an expert when it comes to different terms in sportsbook and gambling. I usually place bets on X to win, X to score etc in cricket and soccer both. I have never seen the terms "back" and "lay" in any Casino. Maybe I didn't notice them. I joined a casino today and found both terms and I'm confused what should I do. It says back (1.03) and Lay (1.04). What does these terms mean? Any easy explanation?
I don't see any connection of that with the reputation of the casino at all, the terms are there in sports betting and they have their meaning and essence. A Back bet is simply a bet placed that indicates that a team or an individual or whatever is playing is going to win, and a Lay bet means that it is going to lose.

For example, if it's a football match between Barcelona and Manchester United, you put a Lay bet on Man Utd which means that they are going to lose the match, and if that happens, your bet is a win. The same could be done with Barcelona with a Back bet which means you think Barcelona will win the match.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 08, 2023, 07:48:15 PM
I don't think so because this match is also very important for AS Roma who are struggling to be able to finish in the top 4 of the standings, but now Roma's chances are very small and even almost impossible and it is appropriate for Roma to focus on the Europa League semifinal match against Leverkusen in mid this week.

I see that there is indeed a slight difference in quality from the Inter Milan team so they have to accept bad results even in front of their own supporters.

now Roma are ranked 7th and have the same points as Atalanta, these two teams are inconsistent and it is very possible for a shift to occur again in the remaining matches this season.
I agree, if they end up winning Europa cup, that would be good enough for both league and UCL next season and they will do much better. Obviously that requires them to keep their good players or replace them with equally good players in order to have a better team next season.

I think Roma do not have to consider that as a good or bad thing, they just need to consider it as job needed to be done, this is why we need to believe that we have to check it carefully and see if Roma would be good or not, that should be the case. I personally think they are good enough to beat everyone and win the title, not saying they will, but they are good enough to do something like that if they play good enough, their best version is capable of getting that cup.
1616  Economy / Gambling / Re: Experience Allstars Fantasy: Blockchain-Powered Daily Fantasy Football (Soccer) on: May 08, 2023, 06:50:24 PM
When I tried opening your site, seems to bit slow to open the whole, so it did happen when I tried to scroll down, your site is seem fully animated from blue to black color. So, If I enter the game, but my captain can't play, can I change it that position from different player?. Another question, Is there any mobile application in IOS?, maybe your game is enough interesting to manage while I take the coffe break in my main job.
Really appreciate you checking it out. I will check why it was slow for you but speed tests showed pretty good speed. Thanks for letting me know.

In terms of your question, the captain is the only selection that does not get replaced. However, the player will be replaced by one of the subs you picked in priority of the position first...if that position is not there, then the next item is the higher priced player will be picked instead.

Hope this clarifies. Thanks for giving it a shot!
I tried it as well to see if it's truly slow but I am surprised how the page loads quickly on my side. I guess the problem is only limited to him. This could be due to a slow internet connection. I see that you only answered one of his question but what about the other? Or if you have plans of creating a mobile app? AFAIK, many sports betting and fantasy betting sites do have their own mobile app so you better have yours too in order to be competitive.

I think that accessing the game through an app can also help users with a slow internet connection. It's because the app are mainly optimized for mobile use and some bulky/unnecessary features are removed.
1617  Economy / Gambling / Re: STARTING OWN CRYPTO GAMBLING SITE on: May 08, 2023, 09:23:40 AM
After launching the casino, the owner has to monitor how well the casino is developing. And if his progress is unsatisfactory, he can ask his team to implement other plans to support him.
Until whenever the casino owner must continue to monitor the developments that are being carried out, how well, even when the casino has become large and decent, the casino owner still has to observe it so that no mistakes occur which can actually affect the running of the casino business.
Do not forget that casino owners must also continue to learn and gain insight in order to make their casinos even better because from time to time new breakthroughs will emerge in the gambling industry so that the casinos they operate are not left behind by other casinos.
In the development success factor, the team is indeed the key, so the owner really must have a team that is reliable and also able to work well for the success of the casino business they have.
There are two main things that a casino or any business need to have in order to succeed. The first is obviously a good business model and structure, you need to have everything planned and executed perfectly, once that is done, the main thing you need is good marketing. A team that carries out promotional and marketing campaigns needs to be experienced and the best in their field.

If they manage to do these two things in the perfect manner, the business or the platform will surely be successful if they manage and maintain it well of course. Maintenance and management will be required after the first two steps are completed.
1618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: May 08, 2023, 08:40:35 AM
There are people who gamble more than they can afford to lose and there are others who gamble within their limits.
The latter ones are generally more clam because they don't stress over their losses while the prior ones always take higher risks and stress over higher losses.
It's their choice though and we can't really argue with a person if he knows he's taking high risk and still wanna do it.
Well, they can't really help it even if they don't want to do it, they've already become addicted and are generally compelled by their urge to gamble that makes them gamble with more than they can afford to lose and they regret it later but they can't stop themselves even if they try. Addiction is a very bad thing.

Such people are those who were too aggressive with gambling and their money initially and that is the reason why they become addicted. Those who go slow and easy initially will have more control over themselves and their emotions and can easily stop whenever they want.
1619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I won £50 - should I use it to buy Bitcoin? on: May 08, 2023, 06:03:03 AM
If I were you, I would probably not invest that but instead use it for something else that I wanted or maybe just keep it for when I might need to spend it somewhere, but if I were to invest in somewhere and I had these two options, I would probably first see and find out how often are bonds bought by the public to analyze my chances of winning.

And then, if there is a very large amount of people buying and keeping bonds, making the chances of winning a prize very small, I would probably go with Bitcoin, but if there aren't a lot of bond holders and I can have more chances of winning a prize if I invest what I've won, I'd go for it.
1620  Economy / Gambling / Re: Land base slot vs Online slot RTP on: May 07, 2023, 09:26:15 AM
Apart from all the technical stuff, RTP, odds, etc., it depends on one's personal preferences and timetable about how they want to gamble, those who have enough spare time and love land-based casinos will probably prefer that, and those who like playing games and want more varieties will surely go for online slots since there are a lot of games available.

Personally, I think it's more convenient playing online since there is basically no hassle and you also get higher multipliers if you are lucky. As said by everyone, it's way more difficult to get any big wins when you are playing slots in a land-based casino.
