I usually adjust according to confidence, or something I consider gut feeling. It might be wrong according to proper bankroll management but there are times when you think your bet is really next to sure. Bettors do not feel like this all the time. But of course it does not mean your gut feeling is right. You might in the end realize it was all just a feeling. Lol.

Freedom can be abused. But it does not mean that it should not be given because it is prone to abuses.

I think it is unfair to say that decentralized gambling is just another way to commit fraud disguised as promoting freedom. I do not agree that the intention is to cater fraudsters and money launderers. It is just that where there is freedom, so are the dirty players, because that is also what they are looking for. But they are the minority. And it is unfair for decentralized gambling to be prohibited because of a few bad apples.

I think I will only be watching the replay because of a prior important schedule. It is not anymore as excited compared to watching live, but at least I have watched the match I have long wished for. It may not anymore be at the perfect time but it is better than not happening at all.

It is also more or less 50/50 for me but I am seeing a little edge in Canelo. Solid defense, very familiar in the territory, in fact dominated it already, constant pressure and energy efficient, etc. Crawford has to have speed that lasts 12 rounds in a weight he has not proven to be perfect yet.

There are many people who are like this. They probably cannot contain their happiness and excitement they have to share it with practically everybody.

But if it is only a moderate win, I think it is not a big deal. I guess it is not uncommon to hear people being so proud after winning from gambling. But if it involves a huge jackpot, I think you better keep it to yourself. Especially if you are from a country or community where crimes are high, the only people you should share it with are your immediate family. That is for all of your safety.

Forget about boasting your win and feeding your ego. Just be quiet and enjoy your prize with your loved ones.

I gamble because it is fun. It is fun to win. It is fun to experience the thrill in gambling. It is more fun to watch a game while having a bet on the team you support. The cheering is more fun compared to when you don't have a bet. And it is fun to make money too.

Of course it is a big factor to want to win because that means you are making money, and it is sad to lose because you are losing money. But I think the game itself is fun. Even if I can make money if I am not in the mood, I will not play. I guess the fun is the bigger factor for me.

Is anybody playing even if he is not enjoying it?

It is all right to lose while gambling, but will you still be entertained if you lose in an unfair game? Just because you are gambling for entertainment does not mean it is okay to play in a casino that does not have solid proofs of being fair.

Although I agree with you that a good reputation is often enough, it is of course much better if a casino gives every user the ability to verify the fairness himself. 'Don't trust, verify' is the Bitcoin motto that many practice even in gambling.

It's either killing the crypto edge you once enjoyed or it's giving many a better alternative.

I also gambled heavily with Bitcoin and top altcoins before. But then I realized later on, after BTC, XRP, Doge, Tron, ETH, LTC, and other popular altcoins for gambling grew in price a lot, that stablecoins are probably much better.

Today I am more on stablecoins than altcoins. I even prefer to keep my Bitcoin now rather than deposit them to my gambling accounts for betting.

I can only count with one hand the times when I actually verified my bet's result. It was not even borne out of the need to verify the fairness of the result, it was mainly to try doing it and to try checking whether their claim is true or not.

But even if I don't do it often, I think it is a very important feature in a casino. You cannot just trust a casino blindly. It is always best if there is a way to prove a casino's fairness claim. I don't have to verify each time a bet is settled. It's enough that I and the rest of their users can do the verification any time they want.

That is funny. Cannot eat three times a day but can make a bet. Cannot buy the basic needs but can go to betting sites to try to grow one's money.

But this is true, this mindset specifically. And that is the reason why gambling operations are so profitable in poor communities. It is the poor that are easily fooled into the belief that gambling multiplies whatever small amount they have. Plus most of them are lazy enough to choose the long and hard route.

I am more interested in over 8.5. At 1.73, that is the better bet for me. Definitely better than a decision win for Inoue. Inoue has a number of knockouts above round 8. And since Akhmadaliev is the younger fighter and equipped with a powerful punch, he will easily survive 8 rounds.

Inoue by decision is not interesting because both boxers are strong punchers. It is not only Inoue who could end the fight with a blow. Akhmadaliev himself can do that. And I think he does not come into the fight only to survive. He is fighting to win and he usually knocks out opponents. He will not just climb the ring and do a Mayweather.

Is this not too much? It sounds like the government is biting off more than they could chew. Can they stand by this decision and make sure the ban is strictly implemented on the ground?

There might be reconsiderations in the weeks or months to come especially if the effects of this decision start to trickle down. This might only drive illegal gambling operations in the country which the government cannot even earn from and hold accountable because they are not running within the bounds of the law.

This fight does not look special at all. Akhmadaliev will fall. He will not last the whole 12 rounds. He cannot survive Inoue's pressure and power punches for the whole duration of the fight. I am almost sure of this.

Inoue is not running from him. He is no special. He could not even win against somebody that Inoue treated like a student. So what tools is he even talking about? That he has hard punches? That is not enough to break down Inoue. Inoue could indeed hit the canvas if a perfect punch lands on the perfect spot but Inoue has proven that he can recover fast from a knockdown.

I cannot see the connection.

Provable fairness is all about the random outcome's fairness being verifiable by each and every gambler or player. It is Bitcoin or blockchain related. It is about "don't trust, verify". Gone are days when fairness in casinos is only about certificates, accreditations, being audited, registration, licenses, etc. Cryptography, blockchain, has changed that because verifiability is being made accessible to everybody. The ability to prove or verify that each roll of a dice is as fair as presented, not manipulated, not cheated, not tweaked, not altered, etc. is as easy as confirming that the seeds match.

It is not a deception. It is not about house edge or the casino the only party that earns.

Yes, of course. If we really believe in Crawford that he will beat Canelo, I want Crawford to be as underdog as possible. The higher his betting odds are, the better. That makes our bets more profitable. If he is 7.00 underdog but we believe he can manage to upset Canelo, that would make us happy. Make it 10.00 even.

But this fight is between two legends that I really admire. I have already thought of not betting. I'm afraid siding with only one of them because of a bet would make my watching it less interesting.

There probably must be a new tool to be used by gambling sites to combat this. To me it is not fair anymore. It is not anymore about pure poker skills that matter and prevail but stronger AI tools as well. Is it possible that casinos would detect players using AI tools and immediately kick them from the table if found?

Although there are still face-to-face poker games, but this is not that convenient. There are also occasional players like me who are not very comfortable and confident playing face-to-face poker because better players could easily detect expressions.

For me Canelo at 1.56 and Crawford at 2.45 are fair odds. There are reasons why Crawford is the underdog. These are the odds released by Odds Shark. There are other odds but they are mostly within the range. Anyway we look at it, Crawford is really the underdog. And I don't think Crawford is being undervalued because he is the underdog. For example, the thing that I mentioned about him being untested at 168. This matters. This is just one of the reasons that contribute to his underdog odds.

It is just unfortunate that these two are meeting just when they are not anymore at the peak of their careers. They are far from the best versions of themselves. They are now facing wears and tears. In the first place they are already undisputed champions and legends. They are not anymore as hungry as before. And they are already old also.

Crawford is also untested at 168, where Canelo is already very comfortable at. Canelo has a lot of advantages here than Crawford.

I think all gamblers who have played luck-based casino games have already fallen to this fallacy a number of times. The reason is simple. In a coin flip, although it is possible that heads will turn out each time, is it likely that there will be 20 consecutive flips with heads as a result? It is probably less likely. The same logic applies to dice, roulette, baccarat, and other random casino games. Each game may be completely independent from each other but the possibility that only one result shows up every time is very low.

Is this true? Since you are talking of something that needs a study or research, do you have a source for this, where it is explained that there is indeed a psychological aspect to over or under betting? Or do you at least have data that back this observation?

In my experience it is dependent on the specific game. If the game is between two teams that are high scorers, I will probably be betting on the over. But if the game is between low scoring teams I might be betting on the under.
